Early Days of Windsor
Publisher: Archive Digital Books Australasia
Product Description
Media: DATA CD - 1 CD (268 pages)
Author: J. Steele
Year: (1915) 2007
Publisher: Archive Digital Books Australasia
Written by the Rev. Jas Steele, in 1915, this book is a detailed history of the town of Windsor and the Hawkesbury area on the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales. The book covers Windsor's history from exploration starting in 1788 and the first settlers in 1794 through to 'the present' (1915).
It was first published as a series of articles in the 'Windsor and Richmond Gazette' between August 1914 and February 1915. As a result of the public interest and input this created, the text was revised and added to in order to make it more accurate and inclusive.
The book includes a comprehensive record of Windsor and the surrounding region including information on pioneer families, street name origins, Old Government House, churches, cemeteries, schools, judiciary, government institutions, Hawkesbury river, bridges, weather, professions, newspaper, horse racing etc. as well as a chapter on the future. It also includes many photographs of people, places and events.
'As years roll on it [Early Days of Windsor] will certainly become an invaluable work of reference on all matters connected with the district' JOHN TEBBUTT F.R.A.S. (1915)

LOOK at the date will you; Christmas decorations have been up for months.
And yet there are still new shows being launched on television. And not just on television, but free-to-air television.
It's as if ... it's like ... do you think someone cares about us? Is that possible? No. It's nothing to do with us. We get the nice run-off though, this time.
When you've seen everything, it's hard to get worked up about another remake.
Enter The Killing who even knew that was a show in the first place? About three people. W---ers mostly, too, who get feelings of superiority whenever they watch something with subtitles. Like the rest of us can't read?
But, as it happens, I was one of those w---ers.
I loved The Killing. Even though I didn't make it quite to the end of the estimated 27 episodes. I can't even recall if SBS wound up putting them all to air. God it was long. I've had relationships that didn't last as long as this show. It was from Denmark. I don't know if that had any bearing on its extreme length.
So what's it about, an abattoir? Because it sounds like there's a lot of killing, a name like that. But only the one death so far. As you'll find out, when you watch it tonight on ONE.
I can't speak for you but I feel as if I'm about to. We need an absorbing, dense, long-haul cop show, now more than ever. Otherwise what happens? Do we start watching cricket matches? Talking to the family about their day?
I'm just hoping the other two people who watched the original version of The Killing aren't out there putting it about that this one is "worse".
Only old people compare shows like that. Or me, when I'm talking about the first Mildred Pierce versus Kate Winslet's. This one's a cracker. It reminds me a bit of Twin Peaks. Tiny bit. The bleak Pacific northwest setting. The political byplay.
Obviously it's not Twin Peaks. And the problems that arise - if you can call murder a problem - when a pretty teenage girl shows one side of herself to her parents and unleashes a very different person on weekends is hardly new. The hidden side of people is the oldest, but most enticing, theme in fiction. And in real life.
The best recommendation I can give The Killing is the network who did this in the US is AMC, who also brought us Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
Leave it with you.

The critically maligned Jack and Jill star has earned a record number of nominations from the Golden Raspberry Awards, which honor the worst in film
Adam Sandler broke one of Hollywood's most undesirable records Sunday: He received the most Razzie nominations ever by a star in one year. The annual Golden Raspberry Awards, now in their 32nd year, reward the worst in film, and Sandler received a record 11 nods for his work as a writer, actor, and producer in a trio of critically-ravaged 2011 films — Jack and Jill, Just Go With It, and Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. Though Sandler's been branded "the patron saint of scathing critical responses," he nevertheless remains one of Hollywood's few reliable box office stars. Here's a look at how his "embarrassing," paradoxical career breaks down:
Razzie nominations earned by Adam Sandler this year, a record for one star. (The winners will be announced April 1.)

Number of films that Sandler has either acted in, directed, written, or produced, according to Rotten Tomatoes, a website which aggregates critical opinion
SEE ALSO: The Lorax and 6 more kids' movies with 'liberal agendas'
Number of those films which were rated "rotten," meaning that fewer than 50 percent of the critics considered by Rotten Tomatoes recommend the movie
Number of films in which Sandler has starred, according to Box Office Mojo
Number of those films that have earned more than $100 million at the domestic box office. Has Sandler "actually developed a foolproof formula for turning awful films into multiplex gold," wonders Julie Miller at Movieline
Percentage of critics who recommended Jack and Jill on Rotten Tomatoes
SEE ALSO: Is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 'the next Twilight'?
$74 million
Domestic box office haul for Jack and Jill. By comparison, The Artist, which just picked up the Best Picture Oscar, has earned less than half that amount to date.
Percentage of critics who recommended Just Go With It, which earned five Razzie nominations this year, on Rotten Tomatoes
SEE ALSO: Wanderlust: A 'one-joke hippie comedy'?

Funny, I was literally just looking at irons - and put a couple on my wish list at Amazon! It seems people either love their Rowenta's - or they hate them. But I guess that is like most things these days. Household appliances just aren't made like they used to be made. I am thinking I wouldn't rule out a Rowenta - but it would have to be a really good sale/price so that I am not spending much more than I would usually spend on an iron.
This Black and Decker one seems to have very good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-D...s=rowenta+iron
I am thinking - sometimes you get lucky with irons, sometimes not so much!

In this section we'll keep you up-to-date about casino gaming in a broader perspective like about online gaming regulation news, developments on the international casino gaming market and everything else that has to do with the organization of the online casino gaming industry as an entertainment providing phenomenon for millions of casino game players worldwide.
Published on 18 January 2013 by Casino Admin
Everywhere in Europe governments are putting an effort to regulate the online gaming business, not in the least to secure huge tax profits this fast growing industry potentially can generate. In the Netherlands the Dutch Gaming Authority (in Dutch the "Nederlandse Kansspel Autoriteit") already contacted about 40 online providers in 2012 (under which some Netent Casinos), when it began its regulating activities as part of the Dutch Ministry of Justice, to encourage them to follow some provisional guidelines pending definitive legislation.
Those guidelines consisted of refraining from further national advertisement for the casinos in print and on (television)screen and no longer offering their websites in the Dutch language or with the .nl extension. According to the same DGA more than half of those casinos contacted have responded positively to their recommendations and have implemented the advised changes. Logical, because those casinos who wouldn't obey the DGA's indications could be excluded from future licensing in the regulated market.
The expectations are the Dutch gaming regulations will follow the model of Denmark, that has a quite liberal policy in which anybody can apply for a casino games provider license and there are few restrictions on either the games or the stakes. It's also expected the revenue tax for the land based operating casinos will end up around 29% and for the online providers around 20%, as is also the case in the Danish model. As published by e-Gaming Review the Dutch internet gaming market could be worth € 223 million by 2015.
This month, on the 28-th of January, the DGA will have a consulting meeting with the main stakeholders on the Dutch market to discuss how a regulated market should look like and which steps need to be taken to come to a general satisfying legislation.
Although we'll keep a close eye on the developments regarding the Dutch casino gaming market regulation, for the time being it changes nothing for the fans of the exciting Netent casino games, nor for the reliable Netent Casinos on our website. You can continue to have your casino fun and we hope the regulated markets everywhere will allow you to do so for many years to come.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of self-repair of microprocessor array structures and, more particularly, to the field of masking hard faults in microprocessor array structures.
2. Description of the Related Art
In computer hardware, "hard faults" are not uncommon. Hard faults are distinguishable from "soft" or transient faults by their permanence. A hard fault is a permanent error condition that remains fixed, for example, a location on a hard drive that stores a digital "1" regardless of attempts to store something else (e.g., a digital "0") to the location. Unlike soft faults, which are transient and can be reset, a hard fault cannot be changed. As a result, they are particularly troublesome to both software and hardware designers.
As microprocessor fabrication technology continues to shrink devices and wires and increase clock frequencies, hard fault rates are consequently increasing. One reason for the increase in hard faults is the increased probability of short and open circuits due to reduced circuit sizes. These reduced circuit dimensions result in devices with increased sensitivity to effects such as electromigration and gate oxide breakdown, both sources of hard faults in a device.
There are several existing techniques for comprehensively tolerating hard faults in microprocessor cores. The simplest approach is forward error recovery (PER) via the use of redundant microprocessors in parallel, e.g., "pair and spare" or triple modular redundancy (TMR). For extreme reliability, this is an effective but not cost-efficient solution. IBM mainframes and certain systems built by Tandem and Stratus are examples of systems that use redundant processors to mask hard faults. Mainframes also replicate certain structures within the microprocessors themselves to increase reliability. The drawback of these schemes is the large added hardware expense and power usage of the redundant hardware. For non-mission-critical applications, this solution is not preferred.
Cost-effective approaches exist for comprehensively tolerating hard faults and can be far less expensive than the above-described redundancy approaches, but they often sacrifice performance in the presence of hard faults. One such approach is back-end or commit-stage error detection with backward error recovery (BER), which use end-of-pipeline checker processors to perform the detection and trigger recovery operations. Dynamic Implementation Verification Architecture (DIVA) is one example of this approach and is used to provide fault protection for traditional microprocessor core implementations. The processors utilized in these traditional microprocessors must be fast and aggressive to perform the complex operations that they are tasked to perform. DIVA and other similar systems utilize in-order technology, using a small, simple, on-chip checker processor, to protect the microprocessor from both hard and soil faults. The checker processor sits at the commit stage of the microprocessor and compares the results of its execution of each instruction to the result of execution by the microprocessor. If the results differ, the checker processor is assumed to be correct and its result is used. This assumption is based on the provably correct design of the checker processor and its relatively small size and complexity with respect to the more aggressive microprocessor. To prevent the fault in the microprocessor from propagating to later instructions, DIVA then flushes the aggressive processor's pipeline, which effectively backs processing up, on the order of a few tens of instructions, to make certain that any in-core forwarding of the faulty value is nullified and replayed with the correct value from the checker. On the replay, the correct value won't need to be forwarded in the microprocessor core because it will already be ready in the register file and will be fetched from there.
The fault-free performance of DIVA and other checker processor systems can be made virtually equal to that of the aggressive processor, since the simple checker processor can leverage the faster microprocessor as a pre-fetch engine. The small amount of redundancy of a checker processor system such as DIVA is far less expensive and power hungry than TMR. However, such systems have a performance penalty for each detected error. Every time a hard fault manifests itself as an error, the performance of the system temporarily degenerates to that of the checker processor until the microprocessor refills its pipeline. The checker processor is very slow: performance will degrade appreciably for error rates greater than one per thousand instructions. In the presence of hard faults that could get exercised frequently, performance suffers significantly.
Cost-effective approaches for tolerating only specific classes of hard faults also exist. One approach is the use of error correcting codes (ECC). ECC can tolerate up to a targeted number of faulty bits in a piece of data, and it is a useful technique for protecting SRAM, DRAM, buses, etc. from this fault model. However, ECC cannot tolerate more than a certain number of faulty bits, nor can it be implemented quickly enough to be a viable solution for many performance-critical structures in a microprocessor.
In accordance with the present invention, a level of indirection is utilized when writing to a microprocessor array structure, thereby masking hard faults in the array structure. Among other benefits, this minimizes the use of a backward error recovery-mechanism with its inherent delay for recovery. The indirection is used to effectively remove from use faulty portions of the array structure and substitute spare, functioning portions to perform the duties of the faulty portions. Thus, for example, faulty rows in microprocessor array structures are mapped out in favor of substitute, functioning rows.
In connection with a DIVA system or other system implementing commit-stage error detection with BER, a benefit of the present invention is that fault entries in the storage array are removed from operation, preventing repeated errors that they cause from occurring (and thus they are not detected or corrected by the detection/correction system). This results in a significant reduction in the number of corrections that must be made, thus preserving processor performance at fault-free performance levels.
The remap logic (212 of
The structure of
The head pointer advance logic 322 is the portion of the remap logic associated with the head entry of the storage array. The tail pointer advance logic 326 is the portion of the remap logic associated with the tail entry of the storage array. With the exception of the entry (head or tail) the function of the tail pointer advance logic 326 is identical to that of the head pointer advance logic 322.
In the fault map of fault information 310, faulty entries are marked with a "1" and good entries are marked with a "0". This information feeds into the remap logic (head pointer advance logic 322 and tail pointer advance logic 326) as well as into the buffer size advancement logic 320. The buffer size advancement logic 320 increments the size of global buffer 350 to keep the number of non-faulty entries constant during operation. Thus, if a faulty row is identified in the fault information 310, buffer size advancement logic 320 expands the buffer size to include one of the spares, and the faulty row is taken out of operation in favor of the spare.
As shown, the storage array includes a check row for purpose of comparing stored entries in the operational rows with results stored in the check row to track where faults have been identified prior to entries being marked as permanently faulty. In the event of a permanent failure of a row, it is designated as such and a spare is designated to take its place. Under normal system operation, army entries are allocated/deallocated asynchronously from data writing/reading to the structure. This allocation process utilizes the begin buffer (324) and the end buffer (328) pointers to determine the next available entry for allocation/deallocation. These pointers are incremented/decremented alter each allocation/deallocation of a buffer entry. Absolute buffer size is held in the buffer size storage element 350. As faults are discovered during operation of the invention, the fault information (310) is updated and the buffer size incremented. This causes the advancement logic for the pointers (322, 326) to skip faulty entries, and the spare entries are used to maintain absolute array capacity
Data flow into and out of the array structure proceeds as under normal operation of a fault-free system as though the invention was not applied. The only part of data input/output activity that is altered is the added step of writing the data to the cheek row in addition to its storage location in the array. The checking of written results against the check row is performed after the writing of the data. Entry addressing is based upon the allocations previously performed by the logic just described, making involvement of fault logic unnecessary during subsequent reads and writes to the structure between allocation and deallocation.
Referring to both the
The discussion that follows focuses on the operations and benefits of the above-described present invention, referred to as a "Self-Repairing Array System" or SRAS, and its ability to minimize the shortcomings of a commit-stage error detection with BER system, in this example, DIVA. It is understood, however, that the present invention has utility with respect to any system or method where masking of hard faults would be useful.
SRAS incorporates a simple scheme for detecting row errors and diagnosing which row is faulty. By adding a plurality of check rows (some are spares, which are used to avoid a single point of failure) to each structure to be protected, every time an entry is written to the array structure, the same data is also written into a check row. Immediately after the two writes, both locations are read and their data are compared (all off the critical path of execution). If the data differ, then one of the rows is faulty. Several options exist for determining which row is faulty: a simple option is described below.
SRAS maintains small saturating counters for each row, which are periodically reset, and a counter value above a threshold identifies a hard fault. To determine if the operational row or the check row is faulty, both of their counters can be incremented in the case of a mismatch in their values, as long as the threshold for check row counters is set to be much higher than that for operational rows.
If an error is detected, but the hard fault threshold has not yet been reached, then me fault is considered to be transient and it is tolerated by DIVA with its associated performance penalty. If the detected error raises the counter to the hard fault threshold, then DIVA also tolerates this fault, but in accordance with the present invention, the system repairs itself so as to prevent this hard fault from being exercised again. The repair actions taken depend on whether the faulty row is a non-check row (i.e., operational) or a check row. If it is a non-check row, then it can be immediately mapped out and a spare row can be mapped in to take its place. The spare row obtains the correct data from the check row. If the faulty row is a check row, then SRAS maps in a spare check row.
Array structures within a microprocessor core can be classified into two categories: non-addressable buffers for which the data location is determined at the time of access (as shown in
The ROB is a circular buffer that is used in dynamically scheduled (a.k.a. "out-of-order") processors to implement precise exceptions by ensuring that instructions are committed in program order. There is on entry in the ROB for each in-flight instruction, and there are pointers to the head and tail entries in the ROB. An entry is added to the tail of the ROB once it has been decoded and is ready to be scheduled. An entry is removed from the head of the ROB when it is ready to be committed. Examples of processors that perform explicit register renaming with a map table are the Pentium4 and the Alpha 21364, in which a ROB entry contains the physical register tags for the destination register and the register that can be freed when this instruction commits, plus some other status bits.
ROB sizes are on the order of 32-128 entries, which is large enough to have a non-negligible probability of a hard fault. The ROB is a buffer which cannot be randomly addressed, and this constraint is leveraged in the remapper implementation illustrated in
The Branch History Table (BHT) is a table that is accessed during branch prediction. Common two-level branch predictor designs use some combination of the branch program counter (PC) and the branch history register (BHR) to index into a BHT. The BUR is a k-bit shift register that contains the results of the past k branches. The indexed BHT entry contains the prediction (i.e., taken or not taken, but not the destination). A typical BHT entry is a 2-bit saturating counter that is incremented (decremented) when the corresponding branch is taken (not taken). A BHT value of 00 or 01 (10 or 11) is interpreted as a not-taken (taken) prediction. BHRs and/or BHTs can be either local (one per branch PC), global (shared across all branch PCs), or shared (by sets of branch PCs). The g share two-level predictor has the BHT indexed by the exclusive-OR of the branch PC and a global BHR. The BHT has an architectural vulnerability factor of zero, in that no fault in it can ever lead to incorrect execution. Thus, DIVA will never detect faults in it. However, a BHT fault can lead to incorrect branch predictions, which can degrade performance.
Remapper implementations for the ROB and BHT examples discussed above are now described. In buffer structures, as in the case of the ROB, the address of the data to be accessed is determined at the time of the access. Typically, two pointers are used to mark the head and the tail location of the active rows. When a new entry is added, the tail pointer is advanced and the corresponding address becomes the physical address of the data. Similarly, when an entry is removed, the head pointer is advanced. Thus, the physical as well as logical address of the data is abstracted and all rows have the same functionality. Thus, the faulty row can easily be mapped out by modifying the pointer advancement logic when a hard fault is detected. As described above,
In tables such as the BHT implementation illustrated in
To disable access to the faulty row, the bits in a row of the fault/spare match map are "NOR"ed and this signal is "AND"ed with the original read/write enable signal. SRAS adds two gale delays (one OR and one AND gale delay) to the table access time. Since the additional level of indirection for accessing the physical table entries is on the critical path, ibis additional lime should not be ignored. In order to avoid set-up or hold lime violations, a second pipeline stage can be used to access the table entries. This additional pipeline stage may impose a penalty in the normal mode of operation. While the actual performance penalty will likely be far less than a pipeline stage (e.g., if BHT access latency is not the determining factor in pipeline stage latency), this design point is selected in a preferred embodiment as a lower bound on SRAS's benefit.
With respect to detection and diagnosis of faults, the process is the same for tables (e.g., BHT's) and buffers (e.g., ROB's). While only k check rows are needed in a k-way superscalar processor to detect and diagnose faults, the SRAS implementation may necessitate having even more check rows. Having only k check rows could lead to an unreasonably long delay to transfer the data along wires from one end of the array to the other. Wire delays are already a problem in multi-GHz microprocessors—for example, the Intel Pentium4 has multiple pipeline stages allocated strictly to wire delay. A simple option is to divide the array into sub-arrays, each of which has k check rows.
It will be understood that each element of the illustrations, and combinations of elements in the illustrations, can be implemented by general and/or special purpose hardware-based systems that perform the specified functions or steps, or by combinations of general and/or special-purpose hardware and computer instructions.

The future of care and support
The care and support sector needs to change if it is to meet the needs of the future.
The SCIE Future of care series aims to stimulate discussion amongst policy-makers and planners about the future of care and support, based on analysis of developing evidence and projections for the future.
The series is accompanied by blogs and articles by policy makers, commissioners and practitioners, highlighting developing evidence and practice.
SCIE works with local areas and organisations to support transformation.

Care workers: building the future social care workforce
Future of care No 2 – November 2016
More care workers are needed to meet the care and support needs of the future. The adult care sector therefore needs to recruit, train and retain more social care workers. The extent of the challenge – and the effectiveness of our responses – will depend in part on political, economic, social and technological changes.
This paper looks at three hypothetical future scenarios, and how the sector might respond to the challenges and opportunities those scenarios offer. It highlights the common responses and actions that may help to attract more people to a career working in care.
Care workers: building the future social care workforce
Total transformation of care and support
Creating the five year forward view for social care
Future of care – No 1, November 2016
The NHS benefits from having the Five Year Forward View which sets out a case for up-front investment in the NHS – but no such case has been made for social care. Yet social care has a track record of transforming services, such as delivering personal budgets and co-production, and needs to be backed to make further transformation possible.
This paper explores the potential for scaling up the most promising examples of care and support services using data from Birmingham City Council, to see what their impact would be on outcomes and costs.

Sunday of Orthodoxy Canonical Bishops in the West Coast Celebrate the Sunday of Orthodoxy12. March 2012 - 11:21
Each year, Orthodox Christians around Southern California break from their routine of worshiping in the Divine Liturgy at their regular churches to witness something special on the first Sunday of Great Lent. The canonical Orthodox Christian Bishops of the West Coast began the tradition of celebrating the Divine Liturgy together on this day in 2008 at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Los Angeles, California. In 2012, the tradition returned to its roots, as our hierarchs gathered here once again to celebrate the "Sunday of Orthodoxy"—the restoration of the holy icons to the Church once and for all in the ninth century.

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) Defending champion Marin Cilic of Croatia beat third-seeded Juergen Melzer of Austria 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, to reach the finals of the Zagreb Indoors tournament.
He will face 28-year-old German Michael Berrer, who defeated compatriot Philipp Petzschner, 7-6 (8-6), 7-5, to reach the first ATP final of his career.
The top-seeded Croatian ousted Melzer in straight sets in one hour and 45 minutes on Saturday to raise his 2010 record to 14-1 and give himself a chance at a second title this year and a fifth of his career.
Cilic, 22, won in Chennai, India in January and reached the semifinals of the Australian Open last week to break into the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time this week.
For the first time this week, Cilic's serve was broken in the seventh game of the first set as Melzer produced some great returns, but the Austrian was not able to keep the advantage.
Cilic responded quickly, broke back and levelled to 4-4, but had to save another two break points in the next game.
It was Melzer again who gained the advantage in the tie break, leading 2-0, but Cilic won six out of the next seven points and went on to take the set.
Cilic started the second set very strong, broke Melzer in the opening game and did not face a break point until the end of the match.

In a Spanish version of April Fool's Day, a group in Ibi, Alicante, cover themselves with flour and rampage through the streets causing havoc.
First they 'elect' a mayor, prosecutor and judge and then take to the streets armed with flour to pelt their foes.
Dressed in a slovenly manner, they enter banks and shops stirring up trouble in a good-humoured way, imposing fines on shopkeepers and bankers, mosking local dignitaries and reading humourous speeches.

I used the 30 SPF sunscreen of this brand and was quite satisfied so I wanted to try this one as well. However, the 50 SPF sunscreen has a texture that is way more oily, not being absorbed very well in the skin and I have noticed that I sweat a lot more while using this product. But in the bottom line - it did proved itself to protect the skin from the sun in a hot sunny day here in the middle east.

I don't know what happened to this product, it had amazing reviews when I ordered it in 2016, but the one I got must have been some new formula because it made my face feel constantly itchy and gave it an oily look, which was impossible to get rid of. The only good side is that it didn't clog my pores or cause any breakouts. The actual sun protection seemed efficient enough for my (caucasian) skin, but I only continued using it on my body because it definitely did not "kiss my face".

Whats worse then a try hard? a try hard that sucks!
Come on just say it you know you wanna, youtube you lose!
Voone vee vooone.
I never said I'm losing.
Re: This game sucks[ Edited ]
For me (and I suspect many others), it's a game…not world class competitive chess (or world class competition of any kind). I find it odd that my example is ridiculed (I admitted it was extreme to make a point) and yet world class chess is offered as a more suitable example? I play the game to have fun and if the opposing team is clearly sandbagging to gain an advantage, I finish out the match, exit find game and wait a few minutes before finding a new one. Tryhards will find a way no matter what because they have no scruples….handicapping system or not.
If you're not losing because of the handicapping system, what's the problem with giving less skilled players a chance? And for me, this is not about calling anyone's skill into question…I really don't care – it's about what's best for the game and community overall...makes me wonder if this is about fairness, KDR or ego.
With respect to sandbagging sure…but if they're better than me anyway, what do I care whether I lose by a narrow margin or get completely creamed?
Perhaps I should qualify my statement about handicapping making a difference…a player with a few weeks under their belt should be able to tell whether the opposing players are any good. I may have been astoundingly lucky but I've NEVER had less skilled players beat our team unless we messed up on our teamwork. I should probably also confess that I play cautiously (no…NOT camping)…I just don't rush or go Lone Wolf when I can avoid it.
Re: This game sucks
People compete in parks, schools, and colleges and on a world circuit.
Re: This game sucks
Fair enough...my bad but is it so awful that there's a system in place to give lesser skilled players a fighting chance?
I've never played competitive chess but however the matchmaking works, I don't think I'd choose to compete in a match if I had to play a Kasparov or Fischer.
Re: This game sucks
Re: This game sucks
You can still lose a chess game even if you had the improbable but possible maximum queen count.
Why exactly is playing chess against Fisher an example of a welfare system? If I had a hint book and Fisher's moves are timed, I'd still call it pretty okay.
Re: This game sucks
Chess...basketball...perhaps the analogies got off track.
I just feel that it's a better learning opportunity and healthier for the player community if newcomers are given a fighting chance.
Re: This game sucks[ Edited ]
I was on the side of thinking the welfare system is ok due to helping noobs and players who are not good or are having a bad game until smugglin yo yos said this ... Would you consider it beating them if they removed his Queen and gave you four? ... No I would not consider it beating them and I would disregard the chess game and demand it be redone on fair equal grounds. Smugglin yo yos you make a very good point and Ive changed my view because of it. (I didnt actually think of the welfare system like that before).
Re: This game sucks
If both players agree to the rules (either explicitly in the chess example or implicitly in the case of TLOU) before competing, then it's still a win or loss...isn't it? Or are we now talking about the "value" of a win? If I agree to compete under certain conditions and lose, I'm not going to say afterwards that it didn't count because it wasn't fair.
In any event, I thought the discussion had moved on from the idea of winning because for many of those against handicapping, apparently winning matches is not an issue. Is it then margin of victory that's at issue? KDR? Bragging rights? I don't know.
Winning is great (and better stil if it has "value") but since the handicap system rarely (if ever) seems to make a difference in matches, is it so horrible for the game to be more accessible?
I don't agree to me getting 1 thing per box and the enemy getting bombs, molotovs, parts, and a ton of supplies because they are losing by like 5 kills.

"We build too many walls and not enough bridges, Cassidy. You are not the only teenage girl on this planet that has tall, highly guarded walls; but for those that you love, you have to let them in. Build a bridge, extend a hand," rambled Dr Hays.
I sat there and just stared at her. Dr Hays' voice was turning into a monotonous tune, and her figure becoming watery and blurred.
Who gave this psycho the metaphoric handbook to the perfect life? I don't know why we waste £85 for some do-gooder to tell me that I am The Great Wall of China. What does that even mean?! I was jolted out of my reverie by her alarm clock - good old £85 an hour Dr Hays. Finally the emotional torture was over. She stood up, smoothed over her paisley blue skirt and recited some old Chinese proverb to 'keep me going' or whatever.
I picked up my rucksack and hot footed it out of the realm of crazy. I deserved Starbucks. I clambered in to my trustee Starbucks cafe and ordered a spiced soy latte with a shot of vanilla. I flung my bag onto a table and sunk into an armchair. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment; absorbing the sounds, scents and feelings of normality.
My eyes shot open as some steely eyed boy handed me my coffee and promptly sat down in the chair opposite mine.
"Cassidy", he said whilst nodding to himself, "what's up with you? Every day at half four you order the same coffee with the same emotionally drained faraway look in your eyes. You keep your cards very close to your chest miss Cassidy, care to fill me in?"
I stared blankly, waiting a few moments to see if he would get bored and vacate the seat I had clearly reserved for anyone but a curious hipster with a boyish grin.
"How do you know my name? And is your life that boring that you stalk dark haired bean poles like me in the hopes that we'll begin a John Green worthy romance?" I spat out with fiery intention. "God," I said as I rolled my eyes and sat back in my leather arm chair.
The 'hipster' (as I know refer to him as) chuckled and held the bridge of his nose as if to alleviate some sort of pressure.
"Cassidy, have you ever heard the saying 'we build too many walls and not enough bridges'? Well I was just trying to be patronising and maybe explore some kind of friendship!" He chuckled again, "for God sake Cass! I'll build the bridge myself; just throw me a fucking bone, will ya?"
I was taken aback by the confidence the hipster exhumed. The last time I was called 'Cass' was in Year 7 at the mum's and daughter's luncheon. I liked this hipster... Well I liked his big talking at least. I stood up and picked up my rucksack, "walk with me hipster, I have places to go."
I walked straight out of Stars and crossed over the street. The hipster was galloping after me with his Alexander McQueen's and green tea chilla in one hand and his tablet in the other.
"So, Cass, tell me your story and where our expected destination is," said the out of breath hipster.
"Our expected destination is the residence of Miss Branson Cassidy, if you will, and my story is still in draft form, waiting for something spectacular to be added in," I said with a facetious tone.
"Miss Cass Branson," he said to himself, "and what would you constitute as 'spectacular content' for your story,' he said as he looked from me to the gravel stone pathway we were following.
I stopped turned to look in his murky emerald eyes and glaze over his thick, raven black hair as he stared back at me; his mouth slightly ajar and lips moist in anticipation.
"Normality," I said, withholding as much emotion as possible, "my spectacular content I am desperately searching for is plain old normality."
I felt hot tears prick the back of my eye lids as I turned away from him and carried on walking. I had just built the bridge everyone had been going on about.

Teen Drinking: Set a Good Example
Parents and guardians are important role models for their children—even children who are fast becoming teenagers. Studies indicate that if a parent uses alcohol, his or her children are more likely to drink themselves. But even if you use alcohol, there may be ways to lessen the likelihood that your child will drink.
Suggestions for Setting a Good Example For Teens
- Use alcohol moderately.
- Don't communicate to your child that alcohol is a good way to handle problems. For example, don't come home from work and say, "I had a rotten day. I need a drink."
- Instead, let your child see that you have other, healthier ways to cope with stress, such as exercise; listening to music; or talking things over with your spouse, partner, or friend.
- Don't tell your kids stories about your own drinking in a way that conveys the message that alcohol use is funny or glamorous.
- Never drink and drive or ride in a car with a driver who has been drinking. When you entertain other adults, make available alcohol-free beverages and plenty of food. If anyone drinks too much at your party, make arrangements for them to get home safely.
More Tips For Setting an Example For Your TeenDon't Support Teen Drinking. Your attitudes and behavior toward teen drinking also influence your child. Avoid making jokes about underage drinking or drunkenness, or otherwise showing acceptance of teen alcohol use. In addition, never serve alcohol to your child's underage friends. Research shows that kids whose parents or friends' parents provide alcohol for teen get-togethers are more likely to engage in heavier drinking, to drink more often, and to get into traffic crashes. Remember, too, that it is illegal in most states to provide alcohol to minors who are not family members.
You can also join school and community efforts to discourage alcohol use by teens. By working with school officials and other members of your community, you can help to develop policies to reduce alcohol availability to teens and to enforce consequences for underage drinking.
Help Your Child Build Healthy Friendships. If your child's friends use alcohol, your child is more likely to drink too. So it makes sense to try to encourage your young teen to develop friendships with kids who do not drink and who are otherwise healthy influences on your child. A good first step is to simply get to know your child's friends better. You can then invite the kids you feel good about to family get-togethers and outings and find other ways to encourage your child to spend time with those teens. Also, talk directly with your youngster about the qualities in a friend that really count, such as trustworthiness and kindness, rather than popularity or a "cool" style.
When you disapprove of one of your child's friends, the situation can be tougher to handle. While it may be tempting to simply forbid your child to see that friend, such a move may make your child even more determined to hang out with him or her. Instead, you might try pointing out your reservations about the friend in a caring, supportive way. You can also limit your child's time with that friend through your family rules, such as how after-school time can be spent or how late your child can stay out in the evening.
Encourage Healthy Alternatives to Alcohol. One reason kids drink is to beat boredom. Therefore, it makes sense to encourage your child to participate in supervised after-school and weekend activities that are challenging and fun. According to a recent survey of preteens, the availability of enjoyable, alcohol-free activities is a big reason for deciding not to use alcohol.
If your community doesn't offer many supervised activities, consider getting together with other parents and young teens to help create some. Start by asking your child and other kids what they want to do, since they will be most likely to participate in activities that truly interest them. Find out whether your church, school, or community organization can help you sponsor a project.

Pechstein ruling threatens sport's arbitration system, says CAS
By Brian Homewood
BERNE (Reuters) - A German court decision to allow a lawsuit from speed skater Claudia Pechstein related to her doping ban could upset the entire sporting disciplinary system, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Friday.
CAS, sport's highest tribunal, said that if other countries followed suit, it could lead to a situation where athletes were able compete in some countries and not others, threatening the credibility of sport in general.
Five-times Olympic champion Pechstein was banned by the International Skating Union (ISU) for two years in 2009 over irregular blood results, although the German never failed a drugs test.
CAS rejected her appeal as did the Swiss Federal Tribunal (SFT). However, a Munich court said in January it would allow the 43-year-old Pechstein to go ahead with a lawsuit demanding more than four million euros ($4.37 million) in damages over lost earnings.
The Munich court said in a statement that its ruling "did not recognize the decision by CAS", adding that the ISU decision on the ban was "void".
"Claudia Pechstein had a fair trial, not only before the CAS Panel but also before the SFT, and the judgment of the SFT, which remains in force, should have settled this matter definitively in 2010," CAS said in a statement.
"(She) decided voluntarily to refer her case to CAS and neither challenged the CAS jurisdiction...... nor the arbitrators comprising the arbitral Panel.
"If, like in the Pechstein/ISU case, arbitration agreements were to be considered as invalid by state courts.....then the basic principles of international arbitration would be compromised," it added. Continued...

The Destination
Speckled with pebbles of amethyst, rose quartz, and milky moonstone, the semi-precious sands of Cambria's Moonstone Beach glisten from dawn until dusk. Named one of America's Prettiest Towns by Forbes in 2010, Cambria is home to the breathtaking bluffs and majestic Monterey pines of San Simeon State Park. But beyond its enchanting landscape, this quaint community's main attraction is its close proximity to the legendary Hearst Castle. Perched on a hillside overlooking rows of rocky cliffs, the storied property evokes a sense of Mediterranean beauty and classic Hollywood grandeur.
The Digs
With its flowering grounds and friendly staff, Cambria Shores Inn is a quintessential California retreat. Separated from the Pacific by a secluded two-lane road, this inn is brimming with views of Moonstone Beach and succulent gardens. Crisp white linens and colorful artwork accent the property's partial ocean-view rooms, which are outfitted with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and microwaves. This pet-friendly spot also has a VIP program for dogs, so feel free to bring Fido along on your vacation. In the morning, you'll be greeted with a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, fresh baked pastries, and orange juice.
The Diversions
The options for recreation on the Central Coast are virtually unlimited: Explore the rare succulents at GROW Nursery, or relax and unwind at Illuminate Spa & Boutique before returning to Cambria for a dinner of sesame-crusted diver scallops at Madeline's. Later, meander through Hearst Castle, where you can try your best to choose a favorite piece from the property's selection of art and antiques—the collection boasts more than 22,000 works. End your day with a stroll on Moonstone Beach, where the sunset colors reflecting on the water embody the beauty of the Central Coast.

The young, Chicago-born soprano Takesha Meshé Kizart is the grand-niece of the blues legend Muddy Waters and has already attracted the notice of leading American opera houses. Her British debut suggests she could become a major star. Kizart's voice is not the prettiest you'll hear, but it has a muscularity that enables her to power through Puccini's most punishing lines without even seeming to break a sweat. Her acting is also exceptional: I've never seen Tosca's abject contempt for Scarpia more witheringly portrayed.
Rafael Rojas reprises his Cavaradossi and is ringingly fine; but the other great gains are conductor Andrea Licata, also making his British debut, and Robert Hayward's Scarpia, whose shambling gait and scruffy anorak provide a fascinating insight into the banality of evil.
Unfortunately, they are still stuck with Christopher Alden's arrogant, revisionist production, which makes even less sense now than when I saw it two years ago. The conceit of setting the first act in the squalid sacristan's office works reasonably well. But then the action inexplicably stays put, so there is no Farnese palace and, more controversially, no ramparts to jump from, which causes Alden to wantonly alter the ending. It is also strange how the final act unfolds without anybody remarking on the dead police chief in the corner.
Such dirty realism is all very well, but Kizart comes in holding a bag from UPIM, the Italian equivalent of Primark - when there is no way such an exotic creature as Tosca would shop there. If the devil is supposed to be in the details, at least get them right.

An older drive I've used for over 5 years. It's a bit on the slower side compared to a 7200RPM drive, but it's served well as an internal backup drive. And for about 3 years, it served as a boot drive in my old system (1.5 years in an Athlon II X4 system, 1.5 years in a Sandy Bridge i3 system) before I got an SSD.

Coreth -$25 and Arnold and Jean Paulen - $25, bringing the beginning balance for this year to $1,817.11 By DAVID DE KUNDER Staff Writer AUSTIN — CLEAN (Citizens League for Environmental Action Now) members and 25 other citizens protested Tuesday at the Governor's Mansion about what they perceive as bias by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) towards industries they believe harm the environment. "I think this (demonstration) is a start," Bulverde resident Melanie Head said. "A lot of people are not aware what this agency (TNRCC) is doing. People have to learn what is going on." Head was joined by fellow Bulverde residents Bob Barton, spokesman for CLEAN, Mary LeRoy and Warren Alston. CLEAN was joined by three other groups from Central Texas that are in battles against companies wanting to build concrete batch plants or, as in the case of one group, a facultative lagoon. All these groups feel that the TNRCC is not interested in their concerns, only in the concerns of businesses. Barton spoke to the protesters and gave a brief history of CLEAN's attempts to fight Ingram Readymix of New Braunfels in building a proposed batch plant in Bulverde at the intersection of Highway 281 and FM 1863. Citizens in the area have expressed concerns that the plant will emit dust particles off its property line, use exorbitant amounts of water and cause traffic congestion at the intersection, which is one of the busiest in Comal County. To build the plant, Ingram Readymix must be granted a standard exemption by the TNRCC. Ingram filed for the standard exemption in January, and hearings were held in September. A vote on the matter could take place as soon early next year. Barton expressed frustration at the way the TNRCC handled the hearings process. He said, through the help of State Rep. Edmund Kuempel, a meeting was arranged with TNRCC Executive Director Dan Pearson on Oct. 5 to express their complaints against the TNRCC staff. In a press release, CLEAN accused the TNRCC of correcting entries in Ingram Readymix's application after it became known that a hearing would take place and that 20 of the 50 pages in the application were changed during the first days of the hearings. Barton said during the meeting Pearson found nothing wrong with his staff correcting just a "few pages." Scott Humphrey, TNRCC staff attorney, has denied that the TNRCC was biased towards Ingram Readymix and that the hearings were held in a fair and impartial manner. Herald-Zeitung photo by DAVID DE KUNDER Bulverde residents opposed to a concrete batch plant in their neighborhood joined people from three other groups to protest what they call bias in favor of businesses by the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Council yesterday at the Governor's Mansion in Austin.

Jack Osteen Globe Trotters Lanes turn 25 years of travel into 'Itchy Feet' By MELANIE GERIK Staff Writer When Henry Lane gets what he calls "itchy feet," he usually plans a trip for himself and his wife Betzy. But last year when the familiar pangs hit him, Henry kept his suitcase in the closet and instead pulled out the notes and tapes he kept while visiting more than 50 countries over the past 25 years. "I drought I would keep myself busy writing this book," Henry said. After a year of piecing together his experiences, his jokes and histories of the places, then looking for a publisher, Henry himself published a book detailing his travels. Itchy Feet, the tales and tribulations of the Lane's 25 years of globetrotting, is now on sale at Book Traders on Seguin Street. Henry said he has sold about 20 copies since the book's publication rn mid-September. "It's been rewarding just to write it down," Henry said. "I don't think I'll give Margaret Mitchell or her Gone With the Wind any competition." He added he is starting work on a second book about his trips in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries before the Iron Curtain was lifted. Henry and Betzy Lane, who both had been married before, began their travels together in 1971 after their wedding with a honeymoon to Tahiti. They were en route to South Korea, where Henry was helping to start an oil refinery for Gulf Oil Co. But both Lanes said their love for travel probably started during World War ll. "You get away from home ... and it kin-da wets your appetite to see the world," Henry said. Henry served rn Europe in the U.S. Army for four years. Betzy escaped her native Norway on a fishing boat a year after Na/' occupation in 1941. She served in the Norwegian army in England dunng the war. After the war, Henry said he tried to practice law in Cleveland, Ohio, but grew tired of his profession quickly. So he moved to Texas, got a job for Gulf Oil, and "the next Henry and Betzy Lane thing I know, I was in Puerto Rico." Besides nine years in Puerto Rico, Henry has lived in die Philippines, Spain and South Korea. Betzy also lived overseas, spending 18 years in Venezuela. When they met more than 25 years ago in Houston through a mutual friend, "Betzy was looking for a vacation, and I was the last resort," Henry joked. Throughout their travels, the Lanes said they try to stay away from package deals or group tours. "It's a lot more fun if you do it by yourself," Henry said. The Lanes read up on the countries, acquired a traveler's knowledge of the language, fly to the country, buy a map and rent a car. They rarely made reservations, staying in cities wherever the mood hit them. The Lanes said they do not travel as much because of expenses and conflicts in places such as the former Yugoslavia. But they said they still want to make a few more trips, although they have tun out of countries to visit. "We're not at the end of the road as far as traveling is concerned," Henry said "Maybe they'll find another continent or something " Win a trip to Germany at the Weihnachtsmarkt raffle this week Weihnachtsmarkt (German Christmas market) raffle tickets are now on sale. Grand prizes are two free round-tnp tickets to Germany, courtesy of Lufthansa Airlines and the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung; and two Christmas area rugs donated by Rhoads Interiors.

Weihnachtsmarkt will be held Nov. 17, 18, and 19 at the Civic Center. Norwest to buy out Victoria Bank By ROBERT STEWART Special to the Herald-Zeitung Norwest Corporanon and Victona Bankshares, Inc. have signed an agreement for the acquisition of Victoria Bankshares by Norwest in a $275 million deal. Both banks have banking centers in New Braunfels. Bank officials said no decision has been made yet whether one of the local banking centers will close. "There are a lot of issues to be addressed very soon, and facilities will be high on the list," said Carol Gravis, president and managing officer of Norwest Bank, New Braunfels. Ola Armstrong, president of the Victoria Bank branch at Canyon Lake, said everything will be business as usual, with more and better services becoming available after the conversion to Norwest in about six months. "We're excited about it and it's going to be a real positive thing," Armstrong said. "Eventually we'll be able to ofter a lot more services to our customers." Armstrong said the companies are a good match as both do business rn smaller communities, with an emphasis on community banking Gravis agreed, saying she is confident that Victona Bank customers will be impressed with the larger variety of products and services offered by Norwest, such as free checking. "We're very excited about it here," Gravis said. "They are very similar to us in that they are a community bank. Services will be enhanced. The products with Norwest are wonderf ul and customers at Victona will see a wider array of better services." Norwest Corp, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has $71.4 billion in assets, including $4 billion in assets in banks in 17 Texas communities. Norwest came to New Braunfels in May, when it purchased Citizens Bank, located at 315 Landa Street. Twenty-two people work at the Norwest bank in New Braunfels. Victona Bank has assets of $1.9 billion and locations in 33 Texas cities. The New Braunfels bank is located at 217 E Mill Street. T.L. Walker, president of Victona Bank, New Braunfels, said the move strengthens the company in the banking world. "With what's happening in the banking industry, we feel like this is an excellent opportunity for our company," Walker said. "Their culture is similar in that they operate community banks They bnng a large product line and also a lot of technology The acquisition has been approved by the boards of both companies and requires the approval of regulatory agencies and Victona shareholders The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 19%.
