UNION — Two institutions with more than two centuries of service to the community between them will be part of the Union County Health Care Foundation's Christmas Tour of Homes this Saturday.
There will be six stops on the tour which will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Wallace Thomson Hospital
One of those stops is Wallace Thomson Hospital, 322, W. South St., Union, which has been servicing the health needs of Union County for nearly a century.
In 1918, Ann Thomson Jeter, wife of South Carolina governor T.B. Jeter, willed $5,000 towards the building of a hospital in Union. It was given under the condition that the hospital would be named after her brother Dr. Andrew Wallace Thomson. The additional money to build the hospital was raised through a group of stockholders presided over by Mr. Emslie Nicholson.
In 1919 N. Crawford received a contract to build a $50,000 brick hospital building on West South Street right above the city park.
Upon its opening on Monday, August 1, 1921, Wallace Thomson Hospital boasted 30 beds and was equipped with an operating room, sterilizing room, and an X-ray machine.
On April 31, 1925, Mr. Emslie Nicholson offered to donate Wallace Thomson to the City of Union. Three days later on Sunday, May 3, 1925, W.D. Arthur, on the behalf of the city council, formally accepted the offer.
In 1946, Act 848 was enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina which created the Union Hospital District. At that time it was composed solely of Wallace Thomson Hospital. The act specified that it be governed by a board composed of seven members, known as the Union Hospital District Board of Trustees, who are appointed by the Union County Council.
In 1950, a bond referendum was passed in Union County that would add 77 new beds as well as new operating rooms, X-ray equipment, laboratory space, and diagnostic facilities. In 1965 another bond referendum passed which enlarged the kitchen, developed an in house laundry service, and increased the number of beds to 143.
Recognizing the importance of updated facilities to our mission, a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion plan was put into place. In 1983, ground was broken on the construction of expanded and modernized areas including the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Radiology Department, Laboratory, Business Office, and Main Lobby. The hospital's continuous growth and unwavering commitment to Union's citizens led to the opening of an Outpatient Surgery Area and Labor & Delivery Unit in 2001.
Today, Wallace Thomson Hospital continues to combine excellent personal services with the most advanced technology on the market. We strive to provide new services and recruit new healthcare specialists to keep us at the forefront of the healthcare industry. Our goal is to provide a wide variety of first class and cost effective healthcare services so members of our community will no longer need to travel for their healthcare needs.
Wallace Thomson Hospital is once again proud to be a drop off location for the annual WBCU and UCARE's Truck Full of Toys for Union County Girls and Boys. If you would like to donate when you visit the hospital during our Tour of Homes, please bring a new, unwrapped toy to place around our tree.
First Baptist Church — Union
Another stop on the tour is First Baptist Church — Union, 405 E. Main St., and those who tour the building will do so to the accompaniment of music, be served refreshments and be invited to return Sunday for a special Christmas event.
The original church was built in 1886 and named Unionville Baptist. A larger church was built in 1904 and later burned on Easter Sunday in 1952. The present building was completed in 1954.
The sanctuary, fellowship hall, and library will be available for viewing. Music will be provided during the tour and refreshments will be served in the fellowship hall. No food or drinks will be allowed in the sanctuary or library. Restrooms are located on the first floor. We have parking in the rear of the church. Please enter the back door or use the elevator.
Everyone is also invited for our "Hanging of the Greens" the following night, Sunday, Dec. 2. The congregation will decorate the church for Christmas during a musical program at 6 p.m. The musical program will include performances by the church choir, the bell choir and solos.
The Rev. Rick Pendleton is pastor of First Baptist Church. The church can be contacted at 427-6241.
Tickets for the tour are $15 per person and are available at Wallace Thomson Hospital, WBCU Radio Station, Paradise Home Center, Midway BBQ, Forest Street Grill, and Lockhart Cafe.

Recently the New York State School Boards Association did a poll with school board members. The question: what will have the greatest impact for the new school year? Coming in at 45 percent, common core standards. The goal is to shift the approach to where students become more proficient. For example, take the English language arts.
NYS School Boards Association Executive Director Tim Kremer said, "Instead of just grammar and vocabulary, perhaps, there's going to be a real emphasis, the way it's going to be taught is focusing on literacy, knowledge of the subject matter."
And understanding the underlining themes within the writing. The same goes for the math side of things.
Kremer said, "And really the real key here I think is going to be application, the idea of being able to see the link between these concepts I'm learning in math and how they apply to real world examples."
Then there's teacher-principal evaluations. The real challenge is negotiating the agreements and submitting them to the state Education Department for approval. Right now, only about 300 districts have done this, and far less have been approved.
Kremer said, "But the state Education Department has approved some, and now they've identified some that are models, and so hopefully as they put those out and tell other school districts, take a look at these, these are some things you might want to embrace."
Also coming in with the poll, the Dignity For All Schools Act, also known as school bullying prevention. There are additional guidelines this year.
Kremer said, " You can no longer bully someone based on their ethnicity, their weight, their religion, what gender they are or what they practice."
This will also be built into the code of conduct for each school district, and there will be an actual coordinator to oversee this . But to do all this, it also costs money. Some districts have stated for every dollar they receive from the federal government, they're spending ten locally.
Kremer said, "So there is a real concern of whether or not we can do this using local resources and not having to make cuts in other things such as laying people off, electives, extracurricular and things of that nature."
Despite the fiscal pressures, the main focus is student achievement and a safe school environment.

by Groovy Tool
Item #: GT302
Regular Price: $14.50Your Price: $12.95You Save: $1.55 (11%)
Groovy Tools is a new concept in trim tools. We start with a blade of the highest quality steel. The 200 SERIES HEAVY GAUGE TOOLS are made from true tool steel. The blade is heat treated, tempered, and then re-treated cryogenically to produce a molecularly superior steel. In our NEW 300 SERIES MEDIUM GAUGE TOOLS we use a high carbon steel that is hardened and tempered to withstand the abrasion from clay but tough enough to be impacted and not break. From the type of steel, to the treating process, right down to the blade angle, this tool was designed to hold an edge. The finished blade is then mated to an acetate handle that is impervious to moisture. No more worries about wooden handles swelling, blades loosening, or having to wipe your handles with oil. Our handles are light, strong, and will last a long, long time. The final touch is an ergonomic grip. This gives the handle just a little softness for a better grip with less fatigue. And the bright colors are really groovy! Whether you are a professional potter or a newcomer to the craft, you will appreciate the quality and durability of Groovy Tools. As the experienced potter knows, a good strong trim tool that starts out sharp and stays sharp will pay many dividends. Among the advantages are; less pressure applied to the tool and work piece, fewer broken or damage pieces, less fatigue, and greater precision.

The Atlanta Falcons turned the ball over six times and Matt Ryan threw a career-high five interceptions, but somehow managed to beat the Arizona Cardinals, 23-19. The Falcons (9-1) took their first lead of the game with under seven minutes to play, when Michael Turner capped a 7-play, 70-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Atlanta's defense helped preserve the 23-19 lead after Ryan threw his fifth pick of the contest. Sam Acho's interception set up Arizona at the 32 of the Falcons, but Larry Fitzgerald was unable to control a pass along the left sideline on 4th-and-2. The Falcons took over at their own 24 with 3:06 remaining. They were able to run out the rest of the clock for the victory. Ryan completed 28-of-46 passes for 301 yards for Atlanta, which bounced back from a 31-27 loss to New Orleans last week. Turner carried the ball 15 times for 46 yards. It's the first time a quarterback threw five picks and no touchdowns in a win since Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr did it in 1967, according to STATS LLC. The Cardinals (4-6) benched quarterback John Skelton after he connected on 2-of-7 passes for six yards in the first quarter. Ryan Lindley, a sixth-round pick in this year's draft, took over and completed 9-of-20 passes for 64 yards. LaRod Stephens-Howling rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries for Arizona, which has lost six in a row since starting the season 4-0.
Final Score: Tampa Bay 27, Carolina 21 (OT)
Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Josh Freeman found Dallas Clark down the left sideline for the deciding touchdown to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 27-21 overtime win against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Freeman finished the game 25-for-46 passing for 248 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Vincent Jackson had six catches for 94 yards and Doug Martin carried the ball 24 times for 138 yards, including 48 yards on the decisive drive for the Bucs (6-4), who have won four straight. Cam Newton was 16-for-29 passing for 252 yards and a touchdown while Brandon LaFell caught five passes for 93 yards and a score for the Panthers (2-8), losers in two straight and seven of their last eight.
Final Score: Dallas 23, Cleveland 20 (OT)
Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Dan Bailey's 38-yard field goal with 6:13 left in overtime capped a furious comeback that lifted the Dallas Cowboys to a hard-earned -- and much-needed -- 23-20 triumph over the Cleveland Browns at Cowboys Stadium. Dallas (5-5) had to string together a pair of rallies -- first overcoming a 13-0 halftime deficit and later trailing 20-17 in the final minute of regulation -- to notch its second straight victory, a win that closed the Cowboys within one game of the New York Giants for first place in the NFC East. Tony Romo and Dez Bryant sparked the come- from-behind effort, with Romo throwing for 313 yards without an interception on 35-of-50 passing and hooking up with Bryant on a 28-yard fourth-quarter touchdown, part of a 12-catch, 145-yard outburst for the talented wide receiver. Cleveland's Brandon Weeden finished 20-of-35 for 210 yards and tossed two touchdown passes to Benjamin Watson, the last of which gave the Browns a 20-17 edge with 1:07 remaining in regulation. Trent Richardson amassed 144 yards from scrimmage for Cleveland (2-8), which gave the Cowboys all they could handle before eventually suffering a franchise- record 12th consecutive road loss.
Final Score: Green Bay 24, Detroit 20
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers had two touchdown passes, including the game-winner to Randall Cobb late in the fourth quarter as the Green Bay Packers took a 24-20 win over the Detroit Lions in an NFC North battle at Ford Field. Rodgers passed for 236 yards and an interception on 19-of-27 attempts with Cobb and Jermichael Finley each catching a score for the Packers (7-3), who have won five straight. James Starks had 25 carries for 74 yards while Mason Crosby missed two field goals, but did make one late for Green Bay, which is 2-0 in division play this season. Matthew Stafford had a rough day as he went just 17-for-39 with 266 yards and a touchdown along with two interceptions and a lost fumble for the Lions (4-6), who have dropped two straight and fell to 0-4 in division play this season. Calvin Johnson caught five passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Final Score: Houston 43, Jacksonville 37 (OT)
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Andre Johnson went 48 yards with a screen pass for the winning touchdown late in overtime, as the Houston Texans avoided a major scare and came away with a 43-37 win over Jacksonville in a thriller at Reliant Stadium. After Houston's Shayne Graham kicked a 25-yard field goal to end the first overtime possession, Josh Scobee countered with a 33-yard kick for Jacksonville to keep the game going. The Jaguars, who blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, then had a chance to win it when Derek Cox picked off Matt Schaub and returned the interception to the Houston 47. Jacksonville was unable to move the ball and, with just over 2 1/2 minutes remaining in the extra period, played for the win by not punting on 4th- and-10. Chad Henne's pass fell incomplete and the Texans took over. It took Schaub just two plays to finally end it, as Johnson took the quick pass in the right flat, used his blockers and raced down the sideline for the winning score with just over two minutes to play. Johnson finished with 14 catches for 273 yards, while Schaub threw for a career-high 527 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions in the victory. The Texans (9-1) have won four in a row and were perhaps, looking past the one-win Jaguars with a Thanksgiving Day date in Detroit on the immediate horizon. Henne was nearly as good for the Jaguars (1-9), who have lost seven in a row. He replaced an injured Blaine Gabbert in the first quarter and finished with 354 yards and four touchdowns in defeat.
Final Score: Cincinnati 28, Kansas City 6
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes and rushed for another score on Sunday, as the Cincinnati Bengals downed the Kansas City Chiefs, 28-6, at Arrowhead Stadium. Dalton completed 18-of-29 passes for 230 yards, while BenJarvus Green-Ellis carried the ball 25 times for 101 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals (5-5), who have won two straight on the heels of a four-game skid. A.J. Green hauled in six passes for 91 yards and a touchdown, marking the ninth straight game the second- year standout has had at least one touchdown grab. It's the longest single- season touchdown streak in franchise history. Matt Cassel completed half of his 16 passes for 93 yards in the first half before being replaced by Brady Quinn to start the third quarter. Quinn didn't fare much better, as he finished 9-of-14 for 95 yards for the Chiefs (1-9), who have lost their last seven games. Jamaal Charles carried the ball 17 times for 87 yards in the setback.
Final Score: NY Jets 27, St. Louis 13
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Bilal Powell had the most effective day of his career, rushing for two touchdowns and helping the New York Jets to a much needed 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Powell rushed for just 42 yards on 11 carries, but scored twice in the fourth quarter to help secure the win for New York (4-6), which got an outstanding effort out of its defense. Despite early offensive miscues, the Jets' defense stayed resilient. For the game, they forced five punts and three turnovers, which led to 14 offensive points, while holding the Rams (3-6-1) to just 281 yards of offense. After a rough game last week in Seattle, Mark Sanchez managed the game well on Sunday. He completed 15-of-20 throws for 178 yards and threw a touchdown pass to Chaz Schilens, who led the team with four catches for 48 yards. Shonn Greene paced the rushing attack with 64 yards on 18 carries for the Jets, who will have a short week to prepare for the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving night.
Final Score: Washington 31, Philadelphia 6
Landover, MD (Sports Network) - Robert Griffin III threw for 200 yards and a career-high four touchdowns on 14-of-15 efficiency while rushing for 84 more, as the Washington Redskins dispatched the reeling Philadelphia Eagles by a 31-6 count in an NFC East clash. Santana Moss, Aldrick Robinson, Logan Paulsen and Darrel Young each had a TD reception for the Redskins (4-6), who snapped a three-game slide heading into a traditional matchup in Dallas on Thanksgiving and also picked up their first home win over Philadelphia since 2008. Starting in place of the concussed Michael Vick, Nick Foles finished 21-of-46 for 204 yards and two interceptions for the Eagles (3-7), who have lost six in a row for the first time under Andy Reid and the first time since dropping seven straight to end the 1994 campaign. Rich Kotite presided over that luckless streak, which dropped the Birds from the lead in the NFC Wild Card race to 7-9 and out of postseason consideration. Alex Henery's pair of field goals accounted for all of Philadelphia's offense. LeSean McCoy registered 67 yards on six receptions and 45 rushing yards on 15 carries before leaving late after absorbing a hit to the helmet.
Final Score: New Orleans 38, Oakland 17
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Drew Brees tossed three touchdown passes and the New Orleans Saints stayed red-hot, easily defeating the Oakland Raiders, 38-17, to reach the .500 mark for the first time all season. After losing their first four games, the Saints (5-5) have reeled off three straight victories and have won five of six to get back into the NFC playoff race. Brees threw for 219 yards on 20-of-27 efficiency and connected twice with Lance Moore for touchdowns. Jimmy Graham caught a team-high six passes for 29 yards and a score, while Mark Ingram rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown for the Saints, who will host San Francisco next week. Carson Palmer completed 22- of-40 throws for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but threw two interceptions for the Raiders (3-7), who dropped their third straight game.
Final Score: Denver 30, San Diego 23
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Peyton Manning threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Denver Broncos to a 30-23 decision over the San Diego Chargers in an AFC West matchup. Manning finished with 25-of-42 efficiency and an interception returned for a score by Eric Weddle for the Broncos (7-3), who have won five consecutive outings. Brandon Stokley totaled four receptions for 55 yards and one touchdown, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker added TD catches, and Willis McGahee ended with 55 yards on seven carries. Philip Rivers went 24-of-40 for 258 yards, two TDs to Danario Alexander and as many interceptions for the Chargers (4-6), who slid to their fifth defeat in their last six.
Final Score: New England 59, Indianapolis 24
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - The New England Patriots blew out the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. But the 59-24 victory was overshadowed by reports of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski having suffered a broken forearm. Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Gronkowski as New England cooled off the Colts. Brady completed 24-of-35 passes for 331 yards, while Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen each rushed for fourth-quarter scores in the lopsided win, the fourth in a row for New England (7-3). Andrew Luck, meanwhile, did amass 334 passing yards and connected on two touchdowns with T.Y. Hilton. However, the Indianapolis rookie threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns, and lost a fumble that led to another score. The Colts (6-4) were aiming for their fifth straight win.
Final Score: Baltimore 13, Pittsburgh 10
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Jacoby Jones returned a punt 63 yards for a touchdown, and the Baltimore Ravens emerged with a 13-10 victory over the Ben Roethlisberger-less Pittsburgh Steelers in a key AFC North clash at Heinz Field. Joe Flacco had 164 yards on 20-of-32 passing for the Ravens (8-2), who have won 12 straight games against divisional opponents. Byron Leftwich filled in for Roethlisberger, who was sidelined with shoulder and rib injuries, but couldn't lead the Steelers (6-4) to a fifth consecutive win, one that would have given them control of the AFC North.
Thursday, November 15th
Final Score: Buffalo 19, Miami 14
Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - Leodis McKelvin returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown, Rian Lindell kicked four field goals and the Buffalo Bills posted a 19-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins in a battle between AFC East rivals at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Ryan Fitzpatrick had 168 passing yards and C.J. Spiller totaled 91 yards on 22 carries for the Bills (4-6), who snapped a three-game losing streak and notched their first win against a division opponent in four tries this season. Miami rookie Ryan Tannehill threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Davone Bess, but was picked off twice in the game's final two minutes, sealing the Dolphins' (4-6) third straight loss.

Nice Ruler, Cannot Remove Label on Cork?
By J Klein
from Springfield, MO
Comments about Westcott� Stainless Steel Rulers; 12:
This is a very nice ruler EXCEPT they put a large sticky UPC label on the cork side of the ruler. I can't seem to remove the label without damaging the cork, which is disappointing. If the label was on the front/metal side of the ruler, it could be removed and cleaned up with adhesive remover.

About Me Budget Shopper
I've used Bates National & C-Thru rules for years & they both have square, sharp corners. This Westcott is accurate for a 12" rule, though this rule is an 1/8" longer to allow for rounded corners. It doesn't gouge through when packing it into a bag or envelope. A welcome feature. The price is right, coming in nearly half the other brand's pricing.
Just what I needed
By an avid arts-n-crafter
from Phoenix, AZ
After being fed-up with my old plastic rulers that easily chipped and my wooden on that somehow warped and was no longer straight, I decided to upgrade to a stainless steel ruler. A great choice indeed!
Great product for a variety of uses.
By Sunshine
from Transfer, PA
I chose this particular ruler because of the cork backing. I use it on my jewelry workbench. It does not slip. It is also thin enough that it does not get in the way of other processes.

In the modern evolution of Charlestown — as young professionals have ingrained themselves alongside the natives who are proud to call themselves "Townies" — the arrival of a Whole Foods Market may be more than just a milestone. It may be a tipping point.
It's not just the fact that the high-end symbol of yuppie America is coming to town; it's that it will be the only supermarket in the neighborhood, replacing Johnnie's Foodmaster.
The times they are a changing it is not the fault of Whole Foods that Johnnies went out of business. The people of Charlston should be grateful that Whole Foods chose to revamp the site and put a store in that location. It would have been much worse for the Townies had there been no supermarket left in town
This gnashing of teeth..lamenting the loss of a crime ridden poverty stricken neighborhood is laughable. Like southie..same crumbling infrastructure inhabited by criminals and vulnerable seniors gradually replaced by young professionals who don't just see it as hunting grounds. Just exactly what is it that is being lost? And what is the terrible thing being gained?
I think the Globe overstates the degree to which working class people prefer to shop at a place like Foodmaster. Whole Foods did not achieve massive, nationwide success by appealing only to the wealthy. They realized something a long time ago that places like Foodmaster and Shaws have long been in denial about: Shopping experience matters.
It turns out that while the price of goods does matter, it may not be the *most* important thing. Many people of modest means will only shop at places like Foodmaster and Shaws out of necessity, whereas Whole Foods gives people a way to feel wealthy for a premium that is actually quite modest.
For years Johnnie's has been banking on the race-to-the-bottom Wal-Mart model that low prices must always be the top priority. The inevitable result is that many people will only shop there because they have to. It's a very tenuous position for any business to put itself in.
I generally agree with you - price is only one consideration and I think a lot of folks of modest means care about good food, healthy food, and the overall experience of shopping, which is definitely better at Whole Foods. Their stores are clean, intelligently configured, and the lines at checkout tend to be much shorter (for some reason). But the thing about Whole Foods is, they're stuff is too damn expensive...all their stuff, not just organic produce and free range chicken but everything. Packaged goods which should be the same price as the stuff at Market Basket is like 25 or 30% higher. A half-gallon of Simply Orange orange juice, for example, costs around $4 at Whole Foods and around $3 at Stop n Shop or Market Basket - I could site a hundred examples like that. It's a rip-off, plain and simple...And it's why Whole Foods being the only market in town is a terrible circumstance for people of modest means.
"Whole Foods gives people a way to feel wealthy for a premium that is actually quite modest." LOLOLOLOL! If you don't already work for the Whole Foods PR department, you should definitely apply, Don Draper. "I may be starving, but I feel wealthy in a whole new way, now that Whole Foods has come to town."
Change is always hard to accept, especially when it is a long established business that is passing away. This sounds much like the situation in JP when HiLo sold out to Whole Foods. the neighborhood was in an uproar about WF ripping the soul out of the neighborhood by taking over the the long established store that catered to the Latino population. At the same time it seemd that those who were crying the loudest didn't really shop at the HiLo. Now that it is gone and Whole Foods has moved in, the place is packed. I am not a big fan of WF, I do occasionally shop there when I am looking for something specific, I will give them credit for hiring from the neighborhood however, and the staff reflects the many colors and cultures of the neighborhood.
I lived in Cambridge last year, the same distance to a Whole Foods as to a Foodmaster. Sure, Whole Foods could be expensive, but I didn't find Foodmaster cheap either. I'd constantly be amazed at how high the prices were, and I felt like I was getting ripped off on basics, like crackers, a loaf of bread, or cookies, all to shop in what was a dingy store. I don't think Foodmaster was a good deal for anyone, yuppie or working-class.
And also - I disagree that yuppies are more likely to own cars. If anything, it's them who are more likely to try to live car-free.
Personally, I've always found Foodmaster's prices to be on the high side, while the stores (and produce) were grungy. I actually upped my travel time to head go to Trader Joe's and Shaw's, but the savings and shopping experiences were worth it.
This was as a student, so I had very little money to spare. I make more money now, and have moved a little west, but I still avoid Whole Foods. My sense of thrift forbids it, and the chain's pretension is more than a little grating.

my top 3......what's your's
1.real deal vs the saurus (never should have gone to ot)

3.fredo vs swave sevah
my top 3......what's your's
1.real deal vs the saurus (never should have gone to ot)
2. soul khan vs cortez (never should have gone to ot)
3.fredo vs swave sevah
1.nocando vs dirtbag dan....nocan murked him and it shouldnt have gone to ot
2.thesaurus vs real deal....same reason above
3.24/7 vs dose....thats the only one i could think of recently
chedda and ubiq got robbed against sketch and neb
Real Deal and Fresco Vs H.F.K. and Charron.
Dose Vs 24/7.
Thesaurus Vs Jonny Storm.
Dirt Vs Jonny Storm.
*Robberies and jerkings. Sorry, I'm fresh off a debate on apostrophe abuse...
Anyways. My top 3 robberies would proooobably be
1. Chedda/Ubiq vs. Sketch/Nebula
2. Jack Shitt vs. Dirtbag Dan
3. Twist vs. HFK
I think Real Deal got Saurus as well, but I give Pete credit because it was an extremely close battle to judge. Nocan was also jerked against Dan, but as that's been mentioned, I just figured I'd remind y'all of the treatment Jack gott at BOTB5...Dose vs. 24/7 is the biggest 1v1 robbery of the year thus far though.
1. 24/7 vs Kid Caustic
2. Jack Shitt vs Dirtbag Dan
3. 24/7 vs Dose
Dirtbag Dan has been on the better side of bad decisions many times.
DBD Vs. NoCanDo
DBD Vs. Soul Khan
DBD Vs. Jack Shitt
Sensa got jerked against Soul Khan.
Cruger got robbed against Jack Shitt.
Also GTNY has had numerous jerkings when it's been one of their hometown guys against someone from outside of NY.
edit: Oh, and Jaze Juce/Frankie Wapps robbed a whole lot of people in the WRCs. 360/Anecdote got jerked the worst. But then again, that's one of those NY-bias decisions I mentioned above.
Last edited by WRNKL; 09-15-2011 at 07:25 AM.
1. 24/7 vs dose (you saw it)
2. Pat Stay vs Arsonal (I don't care what anyone says)
3. DBD vs NoCanDo
^^pat vs arsonal wasnt judged lol
Is there something I'm missing about the Dose vs. 24/7 battle ? Because I'm certain Dose took that. Granted 24/7 is freakin' DOPE, kid didn't get bodied but I legitimately think Dose took that. As far as robberies go, Ubiq vs. Charron. I thought Ubi had that one. But please tell me how Dose jerked 24/7 it came to a split decision, doesn't sound like a jerk to me at all, but once again, maybe I'm missing something. Please explain o.o

Perfection comes with drawbacks. That means, we're never quite finished with any of our own projects including our own website where we get to tell, nay shout, to the world all the weird and wonderful things that we get to do.
N3RD's an ideas factory. Most of these ideas get used on projects for our clients, however now and again we like to keep a few for ourselves. Problem is, we never have time to execute them, so more than likely they are left on the cutting room floor (or in our case the creatives noodly brains and various Skype messages). When we do get some time, or are avoiding heading home for whatever reason, we tend to spend it working on our own brand, which is of course, quite digital.
Since N3RD was started on Nic's kitchen table back in 2009 we've had 4 different sites with varying degrees of content and imagery. Some great, some not so good. It seems that as soon as we've finished one we decide it could be better, or new techniques and technologies come along that we like, so we get cracking (like the tortoise, not the hare) on the next. And this was the case not long after our rebrand and new site launch around a year ago.
Let's be fair, the project management on this new build has been atrocious (Dave, we're looking at you). We didn't bother with a budget, our clients kept changing their minds, we've been through hundreds of amends and variations but it's safe to say we will be launching on time, mainly because the deadline keeps moving. Developers have been sitting at designer computers. Creatives think they can code. Lithuanians are teaching New Zealanders English, and the Spanish seem to have slept through most of it. But like any of our projects, what you see here truly has been a collaborative project amongst the whole team. We think it's a reflection of our values and personalities. Clean; straightforward; warm (tip, hit refresh); and focused on delivery.
So have a browse around, digest some content and let us know what you think, we hope you like it. And if not, don't worry, we're pretty likely to start a new one in a few weeks time.

Avi and I were discussing whether we should populate multiple ptes at pagefault time, rather than one at at time as we do now. When Linux is operating as a virtual guest, pte population will generally involve some kind of trap to the hypervisor, either to validate the pte contents (in Xen's case) or to update the shadow pagetable (kvm). This is relatively expensive, and it would be good to amortise the cost by populating multiple ptes at once. Xen and kvm already batch pte updates where multiple ptes are explicitly updated at once (mprotect and unmap, mostly), but in practise that's relatively rare. Most pages are demand faulted into a process one at a time. It seems to me there are two cases: major faults, and minor faults: Major faults: the page in question is physically missing, and so the fault invokes IO. If we blindly pull in a lot of extra pages that are never used, then we'll end up wasting a lot of memory. However, page at a time IO is pretty bad performance-wise too, so I guess we do clustered fault-time IO? If we can distinguish between random and linear fault patterns, then we can use that as a basis for deciding how much speculative mapping to do. Certainly, we should create mappings for any nearby page which does become physically present. Minor faults are easier; if the page already exists in memory, we should just create mappings to it. If neighbouring pages are also already present, then we can can cheaply create mappings for them too. This seems like an obvious idea, so I'm wondering if someone has prototyped it already to see what effects there are. In the native case, pte updates are much cheaper, so perhaps it doesn't help much there, though it would potentially reduce the number of faults needed. But I think there's scope for measurable benefits in the virtual case. Thanks, J --
On Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:47:30 -0700 This is especially true for mmaped files, where we do not have to allocate anything to create the mapping. Populating multiple PTEs at a time is questionable for anonymous memory, where we'd have to allocate extra pages. -- All rights reversed. --
It might be worthwhile if the memory access pattern to anonymous memory is linear. I agree that speculatively allocating pages on a random access region would be a bad idea. J --
We already have rather well-tested code in the VM to detect fault patterns, complete with userspace hints to set readahead policy. It seems to me that if we're going to read nearby pages into pagecache, we might as well actually map If we're mapping pagecache, then sure, this is really cheap, but speculatively Sounds like something we might want to enable conditionally on the use of pv_ops features. -- Chris --
No, nested pagetables are the same as native to update, so the main Right, that was my point. I'm assuming that that machinery already OK, makes sense. Does the access pattern detecting code measure access Perhaps, but I'd rather avoid it. I'm hoping this is something we could do that has - at worst - no effect on the native case, while improving the virtual case. The test matrix is already large enough without adding another stateful switch. After all, any side effect which makes it a bad idea for the native case will probably be bad enough to overwhelm any benefit in the virtual case. J --
I had a patch like that a couple of years back but it was not accepted. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/prefault/ http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/14/70942.html http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1292.html --
Thanks, that was exactly what I was hoping to see. I didn't see any definitive statements against the patch set, other than a concern that it could make things worse. Was the upshot that no consensus was reached about how to detect when its beneficial to preallocate anonymous pages? Martin, in that thread you mentioned that you had tried pre-populating file-backed mappings as well, but "Mmmm ... we tried doing this before for filebacked pages by sniffing the pagecache, but it crippled forky workloads (like kernel compile) with the extra cost in zap_pte_range, etc. ". Could you describe, or have a pointer to, what you tried and how it turned out? Did you end up populating so many (unused) ptes that zap_pte_range needed to do lots more work? Christoph (and others): do you think vm changes in the last 4 years would have changed the outcome of these results? Thanks, J --
There were multiple discussions on the subject. The consensus was that it was difficult to generalize this and it would only work on special loads. Plus it Seems that the code today is similar. So it would still work. --
but at that time, x86_64 large server doesn't exist yet. I think mesurement again is valuable because typical server environment is changed in these days. --
Don't have the patches still, but it was fairly simple - just faulted in the next 3 pages whenever we took a fault, if the pages were already in pagecache. I would have thought that was pretty lightweight and Yup, basically you're assuming good locality of reference, but it turns out that (as davej would say) "userspace sucks". --
Well, *most* userspace sucks. It might still be worthwhile to do this when userspace is using madvise(). -- Chris --
Quite possibly true ... something to benchmark. --
Well, I guess we need a new binary format that allows one to execute binaries in kernel address space with full powers. --
Seems ... extreme ;-) Maybe we just do it if we're in readahead? (or similar) --
If we are in kernel space then the binary can call the readahead function as needed ... ;-O Ok, seriously: Anonymous pages are not subject to readahead so it wont work. --
On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 6:32 AM, Christoph Lameter In case of file-mapped pages, Shouldn't we use just on-demand readahead mechanism in kernel ? If it is inefficient, It means we have to change on-demand readahead mechanism itself. -- Kinds regards, MinChan Kim --
Right. My patches were only for anonymous pages not for file backed because readahead is available for file backed mappings. --
Do we populate the PTEs though? I didn't think that was batched, but I might well be wrong. --
We do not populate the PTEs and AFAICT PTE population was assumed not to be performance critical since the backing media is comparatively slow. --
I think the times when this matters are things like glibc, which are heavily shared - we were only 'prefaulting' when the pagecache was already there. So it's a case for a "readahead like algorithm", not necessarily a direct hook. Anonymous pages seem much riskier, as presumably there's a no backing page except in the fork case. I presume the reason Jeremy is interested is because his pagefaults are more expensive than most (under virtualization), so he may well find a different tradeoff than I did (try running kernbench?) --
Yes. My thought was that there should be very little cost to opportunistically populating the pte for a page which is already Right. The faults themselves are more or less the same as the native case, but setting a pte requires a hypercall compared to a memory write in the native case. But I can set any number of ptes in one hypercall, so batching would amortize the cost. J --
Perhaps we should. In a virtual guest, the backing media is often an emulated IDE device, or something similarly inefficient, such that the bottleneck is the CPU. -- Chris --
In embedded environment, many people use nand-like device as storage. Read cost of nand-like device is less than IDE's one. Also, Nowaday Embedded stuff would like to use multi-core step by step. -- Kinds regards, MinChan Kim --
One problem is the accessed bit. If it's unset, the shadow code cannot make the pte present (since it has to trap in order to set the accessed bit); if it's set, we're lying to the vm. This doesn't affect Xen, only kvm. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. --
(Just to clarify an ambiguity here: by "present" I mean "exists in So even if the guest pte were present but non-accessed, the shadow pte would have to be non-present and you'd end up taking the fault anyway? Hm, that does undermine the benefits. Does that mean that when the vm clears the access bit, you always have to make the shadow non-present? I guess so. And similarly with dirty and writable shadow. The counter-argument is that something has gone wrong if we start populating ptes that aren't going to be used in the near future anyway - if they're never used then any effort taken to populate them is wasted. Therefore, setting accessed on them from the outset isn't terribly bad. (I'm not very convinced by that argument either, and it makes the potential for bad side-effects much worse if the apparent RSS of a process is multiplied by some factor.) J --
We don't know whether the page will be used or not. Keeping the accessed bit clear allows the vm to reclaim it early, and in preference to the pages it actually used. We could work around it by having a hypercall to read and clear accessed bits. If we know the guest will only do that via the hypercall, we can keep the accessed (and dirty) bits in the host, and not update them in the guest at all. Given good batching, there's potential for a large win there. (If the host throws away a shadow page, it could sync the bits back into the guest pte for safekeeping) -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. --
We added a hypercall to update just the AD bits, though it was primarily to update D without losing the hardware-set A bit. I don't think it would be practical to add a hypercall to read the A bit. There's too much code which just assumes it can grab a pte and test the bit state. There's no pv_op for reading a pte in general, and even if there were you'd need to have a specialized pv-op for specifically reading the A bit to avoid unnecessary hypercalls. Setting/clearing the A bit could be done via the normal set_pte pv_op, so that's not a big deal. Do you need to set the A bit synchronously? What happens if you install the guest and shadow pte with A clear, and then lazily transfer the A bit state from the shadow to guest pte? Maybe at some significant event J --
(potential victim cc'ed) I didn't think so much code would be interested in the accessed bit. I can think of - pte teardown (to mark the page accessed) - scanning the active list I'll fail my own unit tests. If we add an async mode for guests that can cope, maybe this is workable. I guess this is what you're suggesting. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. --
Is the A bit architecturally guaranteed to be synchronously set? Can Yes. At worst Linux would underestimate the process RSS a bit (depending on how many unsynchronized ptes you leave lying around). I bet there's an appropriate pvop hook you could use to force synchronization just before the kernel actually inspects the bits (leaving lazy mode sounds good). J --
I believe so. The cpu won't cache tlb entries with the A bit clear Not the RSS (that's pte.present pages) but the working set (aka active It would have to be a new lazy mode, not the existing one, I think. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. --
The only direct use of pte_young() is in zap_pte_range, within a mmu_lazy region. So syncing the A bit state on entering lazy mmu mode would work fine there. The call via page_referenced_one() doesn't seem to have a very convenient hook though. Perhaps putting something in page_check_address() would do the job. J --
Why there? Why not explicitly in the callers? We need more than to exit lazy pte.a mode, we also need to enter it again later. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. --
Well, sort of but not quite. The kernel's announcing its about to start processing a batch of ptes, so the hypervisor can take the opportunity to update their state before processing. "Lazy-mode" is from the perspective of the kernel lazily updating some state the hypervisor might care about, and the sync happens when leaving mode. The flip-side is when the hypervisor is lazily updating some state the kernel cares about, so it makes sense that the sync when the kernel enters its lazy mode. But the analogy isn't very good because we don't really have an explicit notion of "hypervisor lazy mode", or a formal handoff of shared state between the kernel and hypervisor. But in this Because that's the code that actually walks the pagetable and has the address of the pte; it just returns a pte_t, not a pte_t *. It depends on whether you want fetch the A bit via ptep or vaddr (in general we pass mm, ptep and vaddr to ops which operate on the current pagetable). J --
Handwavy. I think the two notions are separate <insert handwavy pte_clear_flush_young_notify_etc() seems even closer. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function --
Perhaps this helps: Context switches between guest<->hypervisor are relatively expensive. The more work we can make each context switch perform the better, because we can amortize the cost. Rather than synchronously switching between the two every time one wants to express a state change to the other, we batch those changes up and only sync when its important. While there are batched outstanding changes in one, the other will have a somewhat out of date view of the state. At this level, the idea of batching is completely symmetrical. One of the ways we amortize the cost of guest->hypervisor transitions is by batching multiple pagetable updates together. This works at two levels: within explicit arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu lazy regions, and also because it is analogous to the architectural requirement that you must flush the tlb before updates "really" happen. KVM - and other shadow pagetable implementations - have the additional problem of transmitting A/D state updates from the shadow pagetable into the guest pagetable. Doing this synchronously has the costs we've been discussing in this thread (namely, extra faults we would like to avoid). Doing this in a deferred or batched way is awkward because there's no analogous architectural asynchrony in updating these pte flags, and we don't have any existing mechanisms or hooks to support this kind of deferred update. However, given that we're talking about cleaning up the pagetable api anyway, there's no reason we couldn't incorporate this kind of deferred update in a more formal way. It definitely makes sense when you have shadow pagetables, and it probably makes sense on other architectures too. Very few places actually care about the state of the A/D bits; would it be expensive to make those places explicitly ask for synchronization before testing the bits (or alternatively, have an explicit query operation rather than just poking about in the ptes). Martin, does this help with s390's per-page (vs per-pte) A/D ...
With the kvm support the situation on s390 recently has grown a tad more complicated. We now have dirty bits in the per-page storage key and in the pgste (page table entry extension) for the kvm guests. For the A/D bits in the storage key the new pte operations won't help, for the kvm related bits they could make a difference. -- blue skies, Martin. "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin. --
Other archs too. On powerpc, !accessed -> not hashed (or not in the TLB for SW loaded TLB platforms). Ben. --
Hi, all I have been thinking about this idea in native. I didn't consider it in minor page fault. As you know, it costs more cheap than major fault. However, the page fault is one of big bottleneck on demand-paging system. I think major fault might be a rather big overhead in many core system. What do you think about this idea in native ? Do you really think that this idea don't help much in native ? If I implement it in native, What kinds of benchmark do I need? Could you recommend any benchmark ? -- Kinds regards, MinChan Kim --
I guess it is also useful for native. Then, if you post patch & benchmark result, I'll review it with presusure. --
On Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:50:05 +0900 Hmm, is enlarging page-size-for-anonymous-page more difficult ? Testing some kind of scripts (shell/perl etc..) is candidates. I use unixbench's exec/shell test to see charge/uncharge overhead of memory resource controller, which happens at major page fault. Thanks, -Kame --

Plano PD rolls out texting service
By Bill Conrad, email@example.com, @Bill_PlanoStar on Twitter
The 350 officers in the Plano Police Department are able to cover a lot of the city, but they still rely on residents to be their eyes and ears. Now, thanks to a new program debuted last week, communicating with the police has never been easier.
Plano is the latest city to utilize the Tip411 program, which allows people to text in tips while remaining anonymous. Residents may utilize the system by texting their tip and the keyword PlanoPD to 847411 (tip411). An officer will respond, but will have no way of knowing the location or identity of the person on the other end of the line.
With texting serving as one of the most common forms of communication, Plano PD spokesman David Tilley said he believes the new tool will allow officers to speak with people who may not otherwise be apprehensive about coming forward.
The service handles more than standard text messages. People wishing to report a suspicious person or vehicle can do so by texting a photo, which can help officers make a positive identification, Tilley said.
The system will allow people to not only report information about ongoing investigations, but also allow police to respond to incidents before they become serious.
"People will be able to report criminal activity in their neighborhood without any fear of us finding out who they are," he said. "If they are witnessing a crime [and don't think they can make a discreet phone call to 911], they can text us and no one will know whether they are texting the police or a friend."
While the program is new in Plano, the Allen Police Department has utilized it with great success since fall 2009, said Sgt. Jon Felty.
"It works very well and allows us to have a live, real-time text conversation with someone," Felty said. "We get some stuff that it is not designed for, so it is sort of a mixed bag in what we receive. I think what people like about it is that it is 24/7 and you get an answer back within a couple of minutes."
A majority of the tips that come in to Allen PD are related to narcotics, Felty said. He said these range from a resident reporting a house down the street that has suspicious activity going on to information about a drug dealer someone has come across.
"We had a case a while back where a pizza delivery guy delivered to an apartment complex and sent us an anonymous text afterward," Felty said. "The text said 'hey, I went to this apartment and I saw marijuana and all sorts of stuff. You guys need to check it out.'"
The Tip411 program is currently fully operational in Plano, but Tilley said residents need to remember it is not a substitute for 911.
"It is an easy system to use, but it is more for something that doesn't require immediate police action," Tilley said. "My only fear is that someone will need the police in an emergency and they will text, rather than call 911."

Taylor Calloway '15
The Freshman Forum is a year-long program specifically for incoming freshmen. Freshman Forum's main purposes are to enhance the leadership skills of its members and to promote a culture of campus involvement among all freshmen. Freshman Forum gives students the opportunity to experience leadership development through event planning, including peers in community-building, and learning how to make a positive and effective contribution in any involvement role. During the year, Forum members plan many community service opportunities for themselves and their peers. They are expected to develop new initiatives to engage additional freshmen in campus life. Members act as the freshman class representatives to the Student Government Association. Previous Freshman Forum events included community-wide Fall Festivals, service days at Common Ground Ministries, and a campus-wide Dodgeball Tournament.
Incoming freshmen interested in participating can apply for an executive committee position (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) or become a Member-at-Large at the beginning of the fall semester. Contact Sara Beth Terry (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information.

I don't expect a repeat of last year's 9-3 record, but I do think good things are possible as long as future NFL QB Dan Orvlosky stays healthy.

Good Morning Everyone
Another week comes to an end, we hope yours has been an enjoyable one?
Injury: Paul's elbow is holding out well but still gives some discomfort which Paul has found more annoying than anything else, no complaints from him whatsoever.
Training: Training is still on track and we have heard from Russel at RGK that the delivery of the chair and spares etc is imminent, which has got Paul itching (no he hasn't got a rash) and raring to get on the road again! Hopefully the weather will be kind to him, if not he'll just get wet and cold and all those things that come with that kind of weather, all in a days training he says.
Unfortunately donations to the just giving page have come to halt, so if you can spread the word we would be grateful, we have a few pledges that will take the total to over £3,100 so that's not far off the £5,000 we'd like to reach before Christmas.
Now for some extremely good and surprising news! On Friday evening Paul received a call from 'The News', a local Portsmouth paper. Paul has been informed that he has been short listed for a personal achievement award for last April's challenge in which you all know he completed 105 miles in his chair in aid of the Centrepoint youth homeless. The awards evening takes place on Paul's 53rd birthday, Monday 28th November 2011 at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth. I am sure you will join with me and agree that being short listed is well deserved and we congratulate Paul for this. Paul has always emphasised that he does his fundraising because he enjoys it, awards are the last thing on his mind....I for one hope he does win this award as it shows that people have recognised the good work he does and that he thinks of others ahead of his own personal problems. WELL DONE PAUL!
We are close to completing sponsorship and are only looking for sponsorship for the Hotels in Haslemere on the Wednesday and on the Friday night near Regents Park, so if anyone would like to help with these please do get in touch.
We are also looking for a sponsor or sponsors for the evening meals at the first 2 hotels Sunday and Monday evenings, we would be very grateful indeed if you or someone could help, we anticipate the cost for evening meals to be in the region of £300 for all eight of us for the 2 nights.
Pentagon Commercials (Mercedes-Benz) are the sponsors for our support vehicle and we are truly grateful for their support for the 2nd year running. Pentagon commercials (Mercedes-Benz) supply quality new and used Vans and trucks with exceptional levels of customer care throughout. You can find Pentagon commercials Mercedes-Benz at: Fareham, Andover, Poole, Southampton, and Portsmouth. Our sponsor and contact is the Fareham branch Tel: 01329286224. All branches give the same unrivalled service so for your trucks and commercial vans contact Pentagon Commercials. www.trucks.pentagonmercedes-benz.co.uk Pentagon Commercials Mercedes-Benz are part of the Ridgeway group www.ridgeway.co.uk
The ferry crossing voucher to the Isle of Wight for a car plus 4 people is still up for grabs, just make a bid in the auction which will end on Friday 25th November, you never know you could be the winner.
Latest bid on the Nikon camera (Yesterday) is now up to £360, there's still plenty of time to bid so please go for it, remember it's for a fantastic cause!
If you, anyone else or a company you may know would like to sponsor any of the above then please let us know, we would be extremely grateful indeed.
Please, please ask you friends and colleagues to visit the just giving page today, as tomorrow never comes, not only does it boosts Paul's morale it also gives hope to those children who desperately need your help. Bucket collecting has been going really well and the fundraising total has risen to £2,675.81. to date, over halfway to the £5,000 mark, which we hope to reach before Christmas!
Please visit to www.justgiving.com/challenge200 and for daily chit chat updates please visit www.twitter.com/challenge200
Thank you for your continued and kind support!
Best Wishes
Jane, Paul and Support Crew
