The Legend of Kyrandia is the first in a trilogy of adventure games by Westwood. In this game the player controls Brandon, grandson of Kallak - a wizard of the realm of Kyrandia. Malcolm, a psychotic jester imprisoned in the past by Kallak, has broken free and wishes to take over the land as well as lay down his revenge. He turns Kallak into stone leaving him with only his eyes, so that Kallak is not denied his tears for Kyrandia's sake.This is where Brandon steps in; returning home shortly afterwards only to find that his grandfather has been turned into stone, Brandon is being told by a messenger from the Realm of the Land that he has been chosen to embark on a journey that will rid this realm of Malcolm and his evil. He has to prove himself not only a hero, but a worthy heir to the crown and ultimately of becoming a king.
Throughout the journey Brandon will collect many items and also learn how to master magic. Available spells include disappearing, healing yourself, summoning ice upon fire and shifting into a wisp. Interaction with the environment is confined to highlighted items, and a single cursor is used for all actions, without differentiating precise commands.

CD version
The CD version adds speech and support for Windows 3.x (albeit completely identical to the DOS version).Development
The Legend of Kyrandia is based on the text adventure Kyrandia: Fantasy World of Legends, a BBS game. It was designed and programmed by Scott Brinker and Richard Skurnick in 1988, and based on multiplayer interactive game concepts by Tim Stryker.According to Rick Gush, Mike Legg and Brett Sperry played the game online, bought the rights to the game and were sued later on by the person who sold the game to them, but after several years the court case was decided in favor of them.
The game introduced a single-icon cursor for all actions, and Brett Sperry and Louis Castle, thinking that this was their secret weapon, presented a demo of the game to Ken Williams. But Ken showed them King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder which was in development then. It had its own new icon-driven interface, so it was a big letdown moment. Ken liked the game though and asked them if they want to sell Westwood to Sierra, but at that moment they preferred their freedom and control.
The Legend of Kyrandia CD-ROM version came with a free poster based on a painting by Roger Loveless.Awards

Historian: "Game of Thrones is more brutally realistic than most historical novels"
Historians in the Newstags: Guardian (UK), Game of Thrones, medieval history, Tom Holland
Tom Holland is the author of numerous historical works, including "The Shadow of the Sword," and is the presenter of the BBC's Making History.
Although Hilary Mantel is apparently yet to begin the third volume of her trilogy of novels about Thomas Cromwell, we can be confident of several plot twists that it will not feature. Cromwell will not precipitate a civil war. He will not betray the husband of his foster-sister, with whom he is in love. He will not escape the executioner's block. His downfall is scripted. The history books cannot be cheated. Mantel's Cromwell is as bound to the inevitability of his doom as any prisoner to a rack.
In the hands of a great writer, of course, the fact that we already know a character's fate can serve to heighten rather than diminish tension. For all that, though, the pleasure to be had in following a narrative and not knowing what will happen is a primal one. Next week sees the return to our television screens of a series that, like Mantel's two Tudor Booker prize winners, charts the pleasures and perils of political ambition. In a trailer for Game of Thrones, the voice of the actor Aiden Gillen can be heard defining chaos as a ladder: "The climb is all there is."...
Adding to the impossibility of deciding where Martin may be taking the fabulously complex strands of his plot is that the world of Westeros does not draw for its inspiration on a single period of history. Baelish may seem a figure conjured from Tudor mythography, but the king who rules in the first book in fact resembles Henry VIII less than he does his grandfather: the founder of the Yorkist dynasty, Edward IV. The back story of the series certainly derives from the wars of the roses. Just as the house of Lancaster was toppled by the house of York, so, at the beginning of Game of Thrones, has the ruling dynasty of the Targaryens been toppled by a usurper, Robert Baratheon....

Stone brews one with reclaimed water
"Toilet to draft" would have been a tasteless headline
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., March 23
Even were he to die with him, a kinsman is unable to follow his dead relative: all excepting his wife are forbidden to follow him on the path of Yama [the god of death]…. Of existing beings the beginning is unknown, the middle of their career is known, and the end again unknown; what reason then for you to complain? As the body of mortals undergoes the vicissitudes of infancy, youth, and old age, even so will it be transformed into another body hereafter; a sensible man is not mistaken about that. As a man puts on new clothes in this world, throwing aside those which he formerly wore, even so the self of man puts on new bodies, which are in accordance with his acts in a former life.
The Vishnu Smriti is one of the latest books of the Dharmaśāstra tradition in Hinduism. It does not directly address the means of knowing "dharma" — that is, one's responsibilities and duties to others. This anonymous text is notorious for advocating the controversial "sati" — or burning of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. Estimates of the time of composition vary widely — anywhere from 1000 to 300 BC.

Tie extends men's soccer team's streak
October 5, 2010
TweetSophomore forward Jake Keegan scored for the second straight game as Binghamton (2-4-3, 0-0-1 AE) managed a 1-1 tie at UMBC (4-3-1, 0-0-1 AE) in an America East men's soccer game on Oct. 2.
The tie extended the Bearcats' unbeaten streak to five games (2-0-3), their longest such streak since September 2008.
"We are definitely pleased that we came out with a point even though we had chances for a win," head coach Paul Marco said. "UMBC returned nearly all of their starters from last year and even though we are very young, we didn't give up today."
After 75 minutes of scoreless action, UMBC broke through when Pete Caringi finished off a cross. Keegan, however, responded with a eight-yard shot six minutes later that deadlocked the game at 1-1. Junior midfielder Ryan Walter got the lone assist.
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Chris Hayen made six saves.

Intel: ARM Chips Are Propellers, We Build Jet Engines
Jason Mick
February 27, 2013 2:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Intel gets aggressive with pricing, OS tuning, and looks ahead to die shrinks
"It's a question of whether you'd rather have a jet engine or two propellers," Intel Corp. (
) mobile chief Mike Bell tells
CNN Money
in a new interview
I. Intel: We Have the Better Chips
Intel currently trails ARM Holdings Plc's (
) coalition of chipmakers in the mobile chip market, with the ARM alliance owning over 95 percent of smartphone and tablet processor sales by volume. At the
2013 Mobile World Congress
, Intel is trying different strategies to lure buyers away from ARM. It has scored some design wins with its new
chip, the Intel Atom Z2420, which is popping up in Android tablets as cheap as $250 USD.
That aggressive pricing could help Intel. At a 2013 Consumer Electronics Show press event, an Intel executive told us that his company is finding itself in a foreign position in which it has faster hardware, but is being rejected by some OEMs because of (alleged) backdoor dealings with ARM.

On paper one disadvantage that Intel's Atom smartphone processor carry is a lower core count. While ARM chips like Qualcomm Inc.'s (
Snapdragon 600
or NVIDIA Corp.'s (
Tegra 4
typically have a quad-core layout, Intel's current smartphone chips
are single-core
And yet Intel still manages to
beat many multi-core ARM chips
in benchmarks due to its strong single-threaded performance, indicating that core-count may be a misleading metric.
II. Tuning the OS
Intel is also looking to get an inside track via working with operating system makers to fine-tune OS code for mobile x86 chips. Google Inc.'s (
) Android is, of course, the biggest target.
Intel is working with Google to optimize Android on Atom. [Image Source: AndroidModo]
"To be successful in this industry, simply building chips is insufficient. We can write software that helps us get the most out of our hardware. We have a great relationship with Google. We can do as good a job optimizing our systems as anyone, and Google has never told us 'no' when we have said we'd like to improve performance somewhere," says Mr. Bell.
Intel is also co-developing
a new Linux-kernel operating system called Tizen
with Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
). The Version 2.0 test build of Tizen
was shown
at MWC 2013 running on demo hardware. Early builds appear unimpressive -- comments
's Alex Colon, "[Tizen] was also pretty slow. Now, this build of Tizen is only weeks old, but I experienced a lot of lag in pulling down that notifications menu, not to mention uncomfortably long load times for apps."
But Samsung may be eager to refine the new operating system as a means of ditching Google and keeping more mobile advertising revenue itself. That could in turn boost Intel, the official Tizen hardware partner.
Intel is bringing its 22 nm mobile platform (core:
; SoC:
; chipset:
Bay Trail
) to bear
later this year in the tablet space
, with 22 nm smartphone chips likely shipping earlier next year. Intel's 32 nm smartphone chips are decent peformers, but the shift to 22 nm is expected to give a big boost in battery life, a critical metric in the mobile space.

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

text: > Archive > Connolly > New Evangel James Connolly The New Evangel Father Finlay, S.J., and SocialismAn Exposition of Social EvolutionWorkers' Republic, 1 July 1899 The above quotation, from the paper on Co-operation read by Father Finlay, S.J., before the fourth annual general meeting of the Maynooth Union, calls for more than a passing notice, is deserving of more intelligent criticism than our capitalist contemporaries have been able to bring to bear upon it. For this reason we propose to place before our readers a brief statement of our position, in so far at least as it is affected by the assertions contained in the paper quoted from above. We readily allow that no man in Ireland within the clerical body, and few men in Ireland outside the ranks of the adherents of scientific Socialism, can bring to bear upon questions of political economy, and the effect which theories of political economy have had upon the industrial life of the people, such a wealth of knowledge as the reverend gentlemen whose paper we are now discussing. The feeble and ineffective efforts of the Home Rule pressmen to criticise the co-operative movement to which Father Finlay devotes so much of his energy and ability is in itself proof enough that, however efficient our journalistic guides may be as caterers to the palate of a reading public ready to forgive every inconsistency of statement, or colouring of fact, if only it is seasoned with a dash of 'patriotism' or true religion, as helps to the intelligent discussion of an economic question they are worse than useless. The economic theories held by the non-Socialist parties of Ireland to-day and voiced by the publicists on press and platform are in fact the theories which prevailed in England more than 50 years ago – during thin agitation for the repeal of the Corn Laws, and for Free Trade in general. Such ideas are now regarded throughout the remainder of the world as outworn and obsolete; it is only in Ireland they survive, and in Ireland only among men who having failed to keep step with the intellectual march of the world would fain convince themselves that the intellectual incapacity which shuts them off from sympathy with the thought of the age is the distinguishing birthmark of a true Celt. That the criticism of such persons should be of little effect in adding to our knowledge any important truth on an economic subject is, of course, to be expected, and we do not propose to waste our own or our readers time in discussimng them, but the arguments of Father Finlay naturally carrying more weight, deserve, we repeat, a much mom serious study. To begin with we would like to remind the reverend lecturer that he did not place before his hearers such a clear and definite idea of the true Socialist position as he himself possesses. In a lecture delivered in Dublin before the Statistical Society, some few years ago he, in dealing with the teachings of Karl Marx – the ablest exponent of Socialism the world has seen, and the founder of that school of thought which embraces all the militant Socialist parties of the world – Father Finlay laid before his hearers an exposition of the evolutionary nature of the Socialist doctrine, its historical derivation and materialistic basis, which is not at all compatible with the crudely false conception of Socialism to be found in the foregoing quotation. Modern Socialism, he showed, is not the product of the brains of any man nor of any number of men; it is the legitimate child of a long, drawn-out historical evolution, and its consummation will only be finally possible when that evolutionary process has attained to a suitable degree of development. As capitalist society – the system of wage – labour and 'free contract' between master and man – was only developed according as the system of feudalism – or serf labour under a hereditary, landowning nobility – broke down owing to the demand for new methods of industry produced by the opening up of new markets though the discovery of America, and the perfection of means of transit and communication, in like manner will Socialism also come when the development of capitalism in its turn renders the burden of a capitalist class unbearable – and the capitalist system unworkable. Socialists point out that the capitalist system depends upon the maintenance of equilibrium between the producing and consuming powers of the world; that business cannot go on unless the goods produced can find customers; that owing to the rapid development of machinery this equilibrium cannot be maintained; that the productive powers of the world are continually increasing whilst the virgin markets of the world are as continually diminishing; that every new scientific process applied to industry, every new perfecting of machinery, increases the productivity of labour, but as the area of the world remains unaltered the hope of finding new markets for the products of labour grows ever less and less; that a time must come when all the world will be exhausted as a market for the wares of commerce, and yet invention and industrial perfectioning remain as active as ever; that capitalism – able to produce more in a few months than would supply its customers for years – will have no work for the workers, who, constituting the vast majority as they do, will have to choose between certain starvation and revolt for Socialism. That the same economic development which will create the necessity for revolt will also provide the conditions required to make that revolt successful, in so far as it will have forced out of business the multitude of small capitalists, and replaced them by huge companies, stores, and trusts – a unification of industry, requiring only the transference of the right of ownership from the individual to the democratic community to bridge the chasm between capitalism and Socialism. That the private property which the worker should possess in the fruits of his toil is continually confiscated to-day by the capitalist process of industry, and that Socialism by making all citizens – society – joint heirs and owners of the tools of production, will restore to the workers that private property of which capitalism deprives them. Here then is a statement of the aims and principles of modern Socialism. The intelligent reader will observe that this is not a mere piece of speculative philosophy, nor yet the product of disordered brains acted upon by hunger-weakened stomachs. On the contrary it is primarily a scientific analysis of the past and present structure of society – a comprehensive summing up of the facts of history. In face of this fact, which we would most respectfully remind Father Finlay he has himself most lucidly explained ere now, what becomes of his statement at Maynooth that Socialism "had hopelessly broken down wherever it had been tried." The statement was crudely false, mischievous, and misleading, and Father Finlay would not risk his reputation by repeating it before any audience of scientists in the world. That be thought it quite safe to make such an utterance at Maynooth is an interesting indication of the low estimate in which he held the intellectual grasp of his hearers on the thought of their generation. Socialism has not "broken down wherever it has been tried," because, being the fruit of an historical evolution yet to he completed, it has never been tried. If Father Finlay can tell when and where such an industrial order as would be recognised by the Socialist parties of the world as Socialism, has been tried and failed, then we will publicly recant our errors. Wanting such information we, and with us an ever-increasing band of the wage-slaves of capitalism, will continue to prepare for that revolt which shall establish the Socialist Republic.

Instant replay a bad call for baseball
Major League Baseball announced last month that it will use instant replay more often during the 2014 season. Umpires will check video replays to see whether they got the call right on all sorts of plays, including home runs, tag plays, fair and foul balls and whether a fielder caught or trapped a line drive.
Each manager will be allowed to challenge one call during the game. If the challenge is upheld -- in other words, if the umpire's call was wrong -- the manager will be allowed to challenge one more call. (An umpire's call on a ball or strike cannot be challenged.)
I don't like instant replay. Especially in baseball.
Baseball is already too slow. A nine-inning major league game takes almost three hours. Checking instant replays will make the games even longer.
But the more important reason I don't like instant replay in any sport is that it sends a terrible message to kids. That message is that the game is not fair unless every call is correct.
The much better message is that bad calls happen in sports, just as bad things happen in life. Players, both pros and kids, have to learn to shake off the bad calls or bad breaks and continue to do their best.
Some fans point to Armando Galarraga's near-miss perfect game in 2010 as a good example of when instant replay should be used in baseball.
Galarraga pitched a great game for the Detroit Tigers against the Cleveland Indians in which he got out 26 straight batters. He was one out away from pitching a perfect game, something only 23 pitchers have done in the more than 130 years of major league baseball.
But umpire Jim Joyce missed the call on the 27th out. Joyce called a batter safe at first base. The video replay showed that the runner was out.
Galarraga got the next batter out to ensure the win for his team.
The next day, Galarraga shook the umpire's hand and said there were no hard feelings about the missed call. "Nobody's perfect," Galarraga said.
Galarraga was a great example of how to be a good sport. I think that's a more important lesson for kids to learn than to get every call right.

We address the modeling and design of linear network coding (LNC) for reliable communication against multiple failures in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To fulfill the objective, we design a deterministic LNC scheme RDLC based on the average number of path failures simultaneously happening in the network other than the maximum number of path failures. The scheme can significantly improve the network throughput comparing with the traditional approaches. In our study, we also investigate the potential of random linear code RRLC for providing reliable communication in WSNs and prove the low bound of the probability that the RRLC can provide the reliable communication. Finally, extensive simulation experiments have been conducted, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LNC schemes.

A man was in serious condition Wednesday after being shot at a residence on the city's north side.
Police responded at 5:34 p.m. to the 3100 block of North Winstel Boulevard to a report of a shooting, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
The neighborhood is south of East Fort Lowell Road and west of North Alvernon Way.
Police found a man with gunshot trauma who was treated by Tucson Fire Department paramedics and taken to the hospital in serious condition, Widmer said.
A second man in the parking lot of the residence had been assaulted, and was taken by paramedics with injuries that were not life-threatening to a hospital, said Widmer.
A third man was detained by police at the scene. He is believed to be the shooter, Widmer said. A woman also was being questioned about the shooting.
No further information was immediately available.

Walrus Oyster and Ale House Sets Opening Date, Pinstripes Announces New Chef
Your daily feed of DC food tidbits
- The Walrus Oyster and Ale House has announced an opening date of July 31, when the collaboration between Star Restaurant Group and culinary adviser Bob Kinkead of Campono will start serving, well, oysters and ale. The National Harbor space will encompass 6,700 square feet and offer seats for 150. There will be "oversized" frozen drinks, 14 beers on tap and a deck with room for 75 (152 Waterfront St., National Harbor, MD; 301-567-6100).
- Pinstripes, the Georgetown restaurant and bowling alley, has a new executive chef with a pedigree. Chef Ryan Ross, who formerly served as chef de partie at Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery in Las Vegas and locally at The Majestic in Old Town, has created a chef's garden on the canal patio to provide produce and herbs for the kitchen. "Not only is the garden a beautiful addition to Wisconsin Avenue, but it will provide Pinstripes with seasonal, peak-flavor produce that will further enhance our from-scratch menu offerings," says Ross.
- Daikaya executive chef Katsuya Fukushima has teamed with 3 Stars Brewing Co. to create The Sansho Panza, a saison-style beer that incorporates yuzu and sansho pepper. The fusion brew will debut at Daikaya's upstairs izakaya on Thursday for $9 a serving. This will be the first of many joint efforts between the local brewery and the Chinatown hot spot (705 Sixth St. NW; 202-589-1600).
- Capriotti's Sandwich Shop announced plans to open its second DC-area location in Rosslyn July 29. The Wilmington, DE, import was widely reported to be a favorite of Vice President Joe Biden when the shop at 18th and M streets NW opened last November. Local franchisee George Vincent Jr. plans to open a dozen of the sandwich shops in the next two years. The Rosslyn storefront will be open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 AM-9 PM and Sunday 11 AM-7 PM (1500 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; 703-465-2277).

We have again looked into the basic concept of Greenhouse; last year, we focused on the social aspect – the meetings of exhibitors, press and manufacturers. This year, we will focus on the product and the designer. Greenhouse is indeed a hotbed where new talents will have the chance to show their projects to the industry for the first time. Many designers will showcase a unique item, a prototype or idea in the hope that it will be manufactured and distributed around the world.
Note at Stockholm Furniture Fair

In 2015 We will design Greenhouse, Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair's hall for promising young designers. This time, we have chosen to focus on the product and the designer.
A visit to Greenhouse should be like stepping into a designer's mind – a space for reflection and projection of dreams, a space where original ideas and prototypes can be experienced before they multiply and spread further. For the next Fair, which will take place from February 3-7, 2015, Greenhouse also has a new jury.

The IMG Notre Dame Radio Network issued a statement today reading, in part: Advertisement Advertisement Allen Pinkett, a commentator on the IMG Notre Dame Radio Network who made unacceptable comments this week about student athletes, will not be part of this weekend's broadcast in Dublin [...] Notre Dame taking on Navy at the Emerald Isle Classic in Dublin is an historic game showcasing the very best of American college sports. The event deserves to be free of distraction. Further decisions on this matter will be made in the coming days.Pinkett was provided several opportunities to retract or clarify his statement during yesterday's appearance on 670 The Score, but declined. He responded today with an apology:I am deeply sorry and did not intend to take away the focus from the upcoming season opener. I especially would like to offer my sincere apology to the current members of Notre Dame's football team, including Coach Kelly, the entire Notre Dame community, the IMG College Audio Network and the Ohio State football program. As a proud Notre Dame graduate, I wish nothing but the best for our football team and the University.It's not yet clear if Pinkett will keep his job with Notre Dame, where he's worked in both the play-by-play and color analyst roles.Reply4 repliesLeave a reply

Epic Iceland
I have many things in common with Tom. One of them is the love of "Epic" scenes. These mostly come from movies, but it spans many different pursuits. He's the only other guy I met that can also quote scenes from Lawrence of Arabia.
So, obviously I do like to find epic scenes in the world, and I feel like Iceland is full of them. Capturing them the right way is another ball of wax, but that is most of the fun.

I thought cyanogen mod included the USB_AUDIO "drivers" already, although I'm not an android developer nor do I know too much about the insides of the OS. Does this mean that DACs that require more power can be used? Sorry my limited knowledge of android prevents me from comprehending half of what is in that thread.
A standard USB DAC can be a self-powered device, or a bus-powered device.
Some bus-powered USB DAC like the Objective DAC (ODAC) can be powered by some Android smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S III.
If a bus-powered USB DAC requires too much power, it should be connected to an Android device via a self-powered USB hub.
And a clean 5V battery-powered USB hub could improve the sound quality:

I've done a lot of physics problems since then, but I wouldn't quite call myself a "master of the universe." But certainly, studying physics has brought me to much greater levels of understanding of the world around me. I received a very math-oriented upbringing. After I came to the United States from China at the age of two, my father started to invest the majority of his spare time in teaching me mathematics. Mathematics proved to be a very reliable companion for me. Because my father switched jobs often, I had to follow him from state to state across the U.S., often times enrolling in a school only to leave it a few months later. Friends, teachers, and schools came and went. But math stayed. Regardless of where I lived, or what school I attended, one plus one was always two and 2127-1 was always prime. It was not until the seventh grade that I began learning about physics at Tyee Middle School in Bellevue, Washington. This was a middle school physics course, so naturally the calculations were very simplified and often crudely approximated. Outside of school, however, I used my very rudimentary knowledge of elementary differentiation and integration to reconsider the material covered in class, and I occasionally talked to my teacher to discuss whatever questions I had. I was so sidetracked by my own explorations that I somehow ended with a C in that class. At the end of that year, my father moved again-this time to California. My next classroom exposure to physics would not be until high school, in AP Physics C at Los Altos High School. It was in this class that I seriously developed my interests in physics. I discovered that physics combined the elegant abstraction of mathematics that I loved with a firm, concrete connection to the world I lived in. Being able to visualize everything made the subject all the more interesting. When I found out about the F=ma examination, I confidently signed up to take it. While that went well, I was caught off-guard by the Semifinal exam. I encountered topics that were not part of the AP Physics C curriculum at all, and we had not thoroughly covered electromagnetism at that point. I could only approach the mechanics problems, and provide pitiful attempts for the other ones. My experience with the Semifinal exam inspired me to self-study the other topics in introductory physics this year, and attempt the competition again.

There's nothing in both of the stores I go to. One was completely bare like they were going out of business. And the other had stuff from way back and didn't even have half the stuff on the website. It was kinda disappointing because all of the women there had handfuls of clothes and they were getting them for way cheap

On the night of Tuesday 10th October 1967, Alan Wilks scored a record five goals in the 5-1 League Cup drubbing of Oxford United. He was born in Slough on the 5th October, 1946 and arrived in May 1965 from Chelsea. Despite that amazing five-goal feat, he was never a First team regular and was eventually transferred to Gillingham in 1971. In that time he made just 54 League and Cup appearances and scored 19 goals.
A good crowd of 16,989 attended the match and the Rangers line-up was: Ron Springett, Dave Clement, Allan Harris, Mike Keen, Ron Hunt, Bobby Keetch, Ian Morgan, Les Allen, Mick Leach, Alan Wilks, and Roger Morgan. Brian James's match report follows:-
Alan Wilks was ready but seldom required when Queen's Park Rangers rose roaring out of the Third Division to take the League Cup at Wembley last season. The 21-year-old forward clearly does not expect to be forgotten again. He scored all his side's five goals against Oxford United last night. The fuzzy haired forward made swift and deadly inroads into the Oxford defence as Rangers began to see if League Cup history might be repeated.
Wilks, in fact, equalled in 90 minutes the total reward for his marksmanship throughout last season. It was probably no accident that Wilks alone was alert enough to seize on the chances presented by almost permanent disorder in the Oxford defence. After all, he alone still had a reputation to make. The rest of Rangers, after sending Oxford staggering with a goal in 90 seconds, seemed anxious to give each move an almost patronising polish before attempting to shoot. They can be forgiven, for they have clearly outgrown the company they kept until promoted last spring.
Oxford were seldom as quick or aggressive and never as knowing as a fluent Rangers side blazing along with a Morgan in full tilt on either wing. Oxford looked methodical but muscular and yet strangely almost equalled the number of chances Rangers were able to make. But they lacked the wit to make capital from the openings their own persistent courage and Rangers occasional carelessness allowed them. In fact Oxford did not have a Wilks. He got his first goal in 90 seconds, shooting adroitly from a bad angle on the right wing. Then two of the many first-half crosses from Ian Morgan fell near him and a header (pictured)and a shot completed his hat-trick.
Bullock, heading strongly, passed Springett two minutes before half-time, briefly promised retaliation from Oxford. But Wilks, accepting a gift from Keen and then lunging at a rebound off the bar, moved on to make his first glowing entry in Rangers' records. Rangers Manager Alec Stock said: 'ÄúHe has never scored five before, nor, as far as I know, has anyone else at the club. Yet it did not surprise me for he is our deadliest finisher.'Äù
The match programme mentions that Ron Phillips was greatly heartened – and a little amused, by a letter he received from Sydney, Australia. The letter was from the Sydney Branch of the Q.P.R Supporters Club of Australia. The motto of the club read 'Äì 'ÄúRodney will go to heaven and Rangers will go into the First Division.'Äù There were only two members in the club and although he was told that the financial standing of the club was critical, the morale was 'Äúsky high'Äù. The members were J. Sullivan and R. Lovell who were saving hard to come to Loftus Road before the end of that season.
Top scorer at the time was Alan Glover with 12 goals in Youth team and Reserve matches. The Youth team had already scored 26 goals and were top of the South East Counties League. After 11 games, the 1st team were in fourth position behind Portsmouth, Blackpool and Crystal Palace. The following Monday night a strong R's side played a very strong Tottenham team in the London Challenge Cup and the Club Notes by 'Ranger' stated: 'The feat performed by Alan Wilks against Oxford United in the League Cup last Tuesday night will be a talking point at the club for a long time. As far as we can establish this is a club record. It is interesting to note that this was our second match in this year's competition. In the second match 'Äì against Colchester United 'Äì last season, Rodney Marsh scored four. We hope this is an omen.'
Rangers went out of the Cup 2-1 in the next Round against Burnley and Wilks was the scorer in the 4-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham in that London Challenge Cup game. I noticed in one of Gordon Macey's books that Alan Wilks scored four goals in a Reserve match against Aldershot in April 1967. His record will be a difficult one to even match never mind beat.
Steve Russell
…and all without the great Rodneeee… who was still a month away from his first match.
Great memories.
I can remember the match well and Alan became one of those 'one hit wonders' of the time.
In the middle of a house move (deeper into Essex Rs land) so unable to check the records. Has anyone got close to it since Steve?
Colin..I think Frank Bunn of Oldham broke the record and scored seven in a league cup match approx 20 years later.
Hmmm those Alan wilks goals that night..my memory tells me one or two were quite freakish…and none would have qualified for Goal of the month!
They were all epic league cup matches that season..we tried very hard to retain the trophy. How we lost to first Division Burnley 2-1 at LR in the following round I will never know..a keeper error and a "breakaway" cost us
Memory plays tricks after all these years Colin but I thought Wilks was selected because Marsh was either injured or suspended. Wilks wore the 10 shirt that night. We played good football that night but Oxford were poor. I agree Bernard that none of the goals were outstanding but as I recall he didn't play badly either and he certainly made an impression! Pity he never made it. I often wondered whatever happened to him.
Thank you young Kerrins but if I may have the timidity to correct you it was six out of seven goals in the match! (Wikipedia)
Must agree I can still remember laughing at some of the goals. I think there is TV footage of the match and goals.
Well picked up Colin! We have to be exact on here y'know lol I am sure that "lunging at the rebound" went in off a part of his body that he did not intend and certainly one other was a miss hit. I dont think any TV cameras were there that night… Maybe we will just have to rely on the pictures from our memory banks.
Bill Wilson…Rodney Marsh was injured. The trouble with Alan Wilks in my opinion were that his arms and legs seemed to have a mind of their own!
However he could at times be a deadly finisher..I will always recall those Classic strikes at Oldham won 1-0 to clinch the Div 3 Championship and the first division fixtures away at Arsenal lost 2-1 and Newcastle lost 3-2
I was up at Oldham that day and I remember some of their fans looking for revenge after their coaches were attacked at Loftus Road. I think England were also playing Scotland at Wembley and there were thousands of Scots fans at Euston and some of them came over to us to check which 'Rangers' we were ?
Steve. You are spot on with your Oldham fixture recollections of 66/67.
I did in fact travel with the supporters club coaches that day and after the game a missile was thrown at our coach in the bus park…However the the coach driver who bore a striking similarity to wrestler Giant Haystacks(Whitefriars Coaches Ltd employed some real "bruisers" back then lol) got out and the small gang of youths ran off.
PS I think England lost 3-2..(or was it 2-1?)
Had the privelige of playing against Alan Wilks in the 80's for my firms team against his for a charity game arranged by us at Luton Town FC, plastic pithc and all.
He played in goal first half & then came on in the second half & showed his class (against our Sunday league standard & even kickabout players)by scoring with a direct shot from about 40 yards that our goalkeeper did not even see.
In the bar after the game I mentioned that I was there for his most famous appearnce for the R's.
He looked slightly embarrased & was suitably modest.
Suspect would not happen with todays so called mega-stars.

Deke's Techniques: Making a faux HDR image in Photoshop
In this week's free movie, Deke continues the theme he began last week: presenting timeless techniques in seasonally appropriate situations. For instance, the faux HDR technique that Deke shows you how to create this week is useful throughout the year for creating a striking ambiance, but as Deke demonstrates, it's particularly suited to the creation of zombies. And what better time of year to turn portraits of your unsuspecting friends into scary undead creatures? Take this admittedly hapless but certainly unscary fellow, for instance:
Deke begins by converting the image to the Lab color space and then applying a Shadow/Highlight adjustment to exaggerate the shadows and highlights. He'll show you how to protect your Lab-based modifications by placing your layer inside the protective covering of a smart object (even Lab-created zombies need protection). Before applying a Levels command to sink the midtones, he'll create a mask with the Color Range command. And when Deke describes a face "riddled with marching ants," you can be comforted by the fact that he's really just talking about a Photoshop selection. Apply some sharpening, and the result is this frightening creature:
For lynda.com members, there's an exclusive video over in the Online Training Library® where Deke takes this effect to even more macabre extremes—going full-zombie with this effect:
Lab-created creatures, sharpening, marching ants, and masks. Photoshop, in Deke's hands, has everything you need for a creative and creepy Halloween.
See you here next week with more of Deke's Techniques!

Her written complaint was not aggressive, merely disappointed.Paperchase's Robert Warden wrote back:AdvertisementThank you for your email. However you rather miss the point... we are more than aware of the gender stereotypes and were making an ironic point by using archive mail-order catalogue photos from the 1970s... When we are trying to sell stationery (please note spelling) there are images that appeal to boys and images that appeal to girls - and we have had a very successful season with the designs that we chose. So presumably the majority of our customers approved of the products. Smallwood writes, "that's no way to talk to your customer!" The back and forth went on for a while, you can get up to speed here.Here are the questions which must be asked: — When kiddie products reinforce gender stereotypes in an "ironic" way, don't they still reinforce gender stereotypes? — Wouldn't any "irony" go over the kids' heads? — If the "majority" of your customers "approve" does that mean you're doing something right? — Is Warden's letter really rude, or did he handle a perhaps-trivial-compared-to-the-big-picture complaint well? — Does Smallwood have a right to a polite answer to her valid question?SponsoredHonestly, I'm torn.

Have Spike take the C.M.C.'s on a tour of Canterlot so that they don't interrupt Braeburn's ceremony? It was such a simple solution, but even the best laid plans can go awry. Now, Luna and Applejack must contend with some unfinished business from the princess's past as Twilight deals with the fears and concerns of two little fillies... and two little dragons.
completed already?
I love SpikeXCMC shippings.
Espicially SpikeXSweetie Belle
I'll give this one a try.
well, i have to read it, but i know it´s gonna be good
*rubs chinwhiskers*
I think they banned foalshipping on EqD...
Pros: Written by T.D, so will be all kinds of classy shipping
and so on.....
Well boys the Pros have it
Haven't read it but would suggest staggering the release of chapters. It's nice that you've completed it but a lot of great stories get very few views due to how fast they leave the first page. Maybe have a release schedule of every three days or something to let your readers know when to expect it and will also allow others who didn't happen to be online in the brief period it was on the front page to see it.
Mass producer of literature! Another one for the read list!
Thanks, can't wait to read.
Well I already know that I am going to like this story.
*fave and thumbs up*
Have I mentioned that I love your characterizations and the little details you throw in? Spike's discussion on politics and the janitors was pretty much perfect.
Also, bonk.
Aaaand per the norm of your stories, I am awed and dazed at your insightful look into Spike and Twilight's relationship. Thanks for sharing.
Oh crumpled hatted earth pony, what would we do without you?
Whenever I see him I think of authors who get cameos in movies based on their work.
4 chapters at once. This is daunting. I'll just put this in my "read never" list.
"Shipping is as shipping does" in this fic... I hope you like it anyway when you find out what I mean by that.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Love that .gif!
"Shipping" is a matter of opinion in this one, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!
That is actually a good point. It proably explains a lot about my "story view" count, huh?
You know that I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it when ya' get a chance!
I'm glad that ya' believe in me, Redz!
Bonk indeed! I wrote that scene on election night, so you can tell whee the influence came from!
Thank you so very much. It is the most important aspect of the series to me, and I'm glad that you approve of how I represent it.
The first one, perhaps, certainly the latter!
How Hitchcockian!
That's a matter of opinion in this one... I hope you'll understand what I mean by that, and I look forward to your thoughts!
I'm sorry that you find it daunting. I always release my stories in completeness (with the exception of exceptionally long fics) so that they are thoroughly edited and make sense as a single narrative, and so that the readers know that I'm not abandoning them in the middle of a work which will never be completed. I can only apologize that it was off-putting, but please know that there's no rule that you have to read the whole thing at one time.
Haven't read it yet.
I can tell this will get featured.
I'd love to believe ya', my friend, but I haven't had a Featured Bar trip since January... so, yeah. I hope you get a chance to read this one though, you know that I always appreciate your input!
umm... based on the pic its a romance fic, but no romance tag. is it romance?
The Desendant...? Shipping? Well... My favorite of yours (A Sweet Taste Of Cake) is a ship fic... So I'm gonna give it a read!
Edit: I was actually just about to go reread A Sweet Taste of Cake again... But this is gonna trump that ;)
Well... ummm, yes and no? It's hard to explain... there's a lot of questions about love, but love plays a part in it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story, and whether or not you think it needs a romance tag or not, if you'd like to read it!
Well, jeez... I don't know if "shipping" is the right word or not!I'm of course very happy to read your thoughts, Aslin!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment!
That seems to be one of my specialties, eh? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it at the end!
is this heartbreaking mind bucking sad, or just a bit sad ?
Well... it's a story that I wrote, so you know that whatever happens, it has deeper meaning, and everything works out okay in the end, I promise.
Everything I ever wanted and more.
Consistent yet the tone changes smoother then a Film Flam Bros sales pitch.
I really love how you paint a deeper and more mature equestria without using gore or dirty language.
Not many writers can do what you do and you should be proud of that.
Well said.
@The Descendant Once again you have painted a picture of a greater Equestria sitting just beneath the pastel surface we all know and love. Of course, thanks to you, I have to draw the CMC and Spike with Twilight kissing his forehead... One more on the to-do pile I guess.
And grats on the feature, no matter how little time it spends there!
Apple Bloom, you've just put a curse upon yourself
I have not read it yet, but as a fellow Spike-ship lover, I must say: YES!!! Well done! Another Spike shipfic for me to feast upon! Thank you!!! Though the lack of a romance tag is a bit off-putting. Nonetheless, I am sure it will be a fine read! :)
URG my "read later list is PAST capacity and I have 34 chapters to read on 6 different stories that i have fav'd! RHETT RHETT! WHENEVER SHALL I READ THIS?! I know already that I'm just going to read it right after i read the conclusion to Background Pony BUT WHY?!
... I'll just give this a preemptive Fav so I A) remember to read it and B) because I already know it's gonna end up on my fave list anyway
This might sound a bit dick-ish, but as a matter of personal taste, based on the pic and description, I wouldn't read this. I rolled my eyes at the description and was actually going to close the tab without even putting it on my ridiculously long (892 currently) Read Later list. Then I saw your name.
I am going to read it, simply because you wrote it. This is for the simple reason that everything of yours that I've read has varied between "good" and "amazing and awe-inspiring".
Too little time, too much awesome to read...
Well, at least this one is short, just 26,000 words. I'll probably love it after I'm done.
Seems interesting. Shall read after personal hygiene has been dealt with! Oh and faved xD
Spike, you poor, tortured soul. What a strange situation he's in.
A story about Spike growing up a bit. Fills my heart with the feels.
I know this would be an excellent story. I look forward to reading this.
It's been a while since I've had any sort of "feels" from reading a fic, but this just nailed it, and I greatly appreciate it. Some typos here and there, but hell, I stayed up all night to read from start to finish and I was not disappointed. Great job.

Instead of walking the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards red carpet together, the lovebirds carried a Bieber sibling each! Justin held his half-bro Jaxon and Selena held Justin's baby sis Jazzy! So cute!
Superstar couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are so joined at the hip, they're even in tandem as they walk a red carpet separately! They each carried little Jaxon and Jazzy down the red carpet!
Jaxon admittedly looked a little bewildered but good thing he had his big bro Justin, 18, as his seasoned awards show companion!
Selena, 19, in her amazing glittery gold dress, held Jazzy close as adoring fans cheered them on.

Two-Face Halloween Costume by Joseph Bertucci
Joseph Bertucci brought out the dark side of Harvey Dent with this gruesome Two-Face halloween costume. The handmade costume took about 3 hours of make-up to create the overall effect, and Joseph used as many reference photos as he could to keep it as realistic and true to the character as possible. A thrift store suit altered with realistic burn marks completes the ensemble.HOW TO MAKE THIS COSTUME
Step 1:
Pick up a bald cap and prosthetic scars at a Halloween supply store and apply them with spirit gum.Step 2:
Add a base layer of black makeup to give Two-Face's lesser half a charred look.Step 3:
Add fake blood/gore to create a more realistc burn effect.Step 4:
Look for a secondhand suit at a thrift store and alter it with realistic burn marks. Watch out for Batman!

Sam Marder
Sam Marder spent two seasons as an assistant softball coach at Boise State, joining the program in January 2012. The Broncos won a school-record 34 games in her first season. Marder worked primarily with the outfielders during her tenure. The Broncos set the school record for team fielding percentage in 2012. Holly Bourke and Tara Glover posted the two highest fielding percentages by an outfielder in school history. Glover also starred at the plate, hitting .476 (third in the country) and leading the NCAA in hits per game (1.63). She was named NFCA All-America Third Team, the Broncos' first All-American, in addition to Mountain West Co-Player of the Year. Boise State tied for second in the Mountain West standings and ranked No. 57 in the RPI. It is the best finish in the program's five-year history after peaking at No. 49 during the season- also a program best. In Marder's second season with the Broncos, her first full year at the school, she took on more responsibility as the team's hitting coach and eventually assumed pitch-calling duties. Three Broncos finished the season hitting better than .340. Marder called pitches for the final 12 games, during which the Broncos had a staff earned run average of 2.96 and went 8-4 to climb the conference standings and finish 9-9, good for fourth in the Mountain West. During Marder's playing career at Ohio State, she became the first Buckeye softball student-athlete named a three-time All-American. Marder was named the Ohio State Female Athlete of the Year in 2009-10 after her senior season. She was the leader of a senior class that finished with 159 wins--second-most in school history--achieved the program's highest national ranking (No. 12) and advanced to Ohio State's first NCAA Super Regional (2009). Marder, a catcher for the Buckeyes, set Ohio State career records for home runs (61), RBI (191) and walks (232) during her decorated career. Her walk total ranks No. 5 all-time in NCAA Division I history, while she ranks 26th in career home runs and her slugging percentage is the 15th-higest. She was a four-time All-Big Ten and All-Region selection from 2007-2010. Marder was also a four-time scholar athlete. After finishing her collegiate career, Marder was taken with the seventh overall pick in the 2010 National Professional Fastpitch Draft by the Akron Racers. She debuted in 2011, leading the Racers with a .403 batting average, seven home runs and 17 RBI. She helped Akron post a 22-17 record to finish second in the league and was named first-team All-NPF. In 2012 Marder was named to the All-NPF Team and honored as the league's Offensive Player of the Year after batting .343 with eight home runs and 27 runs batted in. She ranked in the top five of the NPF in each triple crown category. Marder came to Boise State after spending the fall of 2011 as a volunteer assistant at Oregon. Marder began her coaching career as an undergraduate assistant at Ohio State in 2010-11, while she finished her history degree. A native of Calabasas, Calif., Marder was a first-team all-state selection as a senior and three-time all-league and all-area honoree for Calabasas High School. |

If you own a handheld electronic device, or are expecting to find one under the Christmas tree this year, Transit Police have a warning for you.
Authorities say device thefts and robberies are on the rise, a problem Transit Police are trying to tackle with a new awareness campaign imploring bus and SkyTrain passengers to be smart with their electronic valuables.
"We're talking cell phones, smart phones, iPads, iPods, tablets. It just doesn't matter, they'll take anything," Const. Anne Drennan said.
The worst hit areas are in Vancouver, Richmond and Surrey, Drennan said.
There were 80 device thefts reported on TransLink property between January and October. Roughly half were sneaky thefts, police said, while the others were more aggressive, and sometimes violent, robberies.
For the new campaign, dubbed "Device Advice," officers and transit attendants will be handing out small cards with theft-prevention tips and a phone number where passengers can report thefts or suspicious behaviour.
Police say the main advice for passengers is to be aware of their surroundings, fasten all bags and backpacks properly, keep devices out of sight and never lend phones or other electronics out to strangers.
Thefts, robberies and suspicious activity can be reported to Transit Police at 604-515-8300.

The Center for Environmental Health says they've tested a Curious George doll that is currently on stores shelves and found that it contains more than "ten times the legal lead limit", prompting Marvel Entertainment Group to stop new shipments from China.
The toy hasn't been pulled from stores or recalled because Marvel wants to confirm the tests. "If we find a problem, we will do a recall, it's the only appropriate thing to do," a Marvel spokesperson said.
Caroline Cox, spokesperson for the CEH, told the Boston Globe: ""I was quite shocked. We have never seen a toy with levels so high."

When Paul summarizes the nature of the Christian life, and thus the fundamental activity of the church, he frames it in terms of gratefulness. "And now," he tells the Colossians, "just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness" (2:6–7, italics added).
In the context of the church, then, gratefulness is the normal, expected lifestyle. In the context of the world in which we live, it is anything but that. Anyone with half an ounce of self-awareness recognizes how much we whine about what is missing in our lives, and how often we nurture what I call thanks-killing vices like anger, lust, and greed, and how often we're just indifferent to the many divine gifts showered upon us hour by hour.
So can a simple admonition like "be thankful" do the trick? Can something so deeply inbred in us as ungratefulness be whisked away with a simple command, one that seemingly can be simply obeyed with a tweaking of the will? Is thankfulness something we can conjure up like that?
Yes, at a certain level. For example, we've come up with verbal formulas to snap us out of ungrateful funks: "Look for the silver lining in the dark cloud"; "Look at the glass as half full, not half empty"; or the cliché par excellence, "Count your blessings." These clichés can help . . . for a while. But here's the truth of the matter: We can't keep it up. There are days when we just don't have the energy to count our blessings. And sometimes those days turn into weeks or even years. There are long stretches when we'd like to be thankful, but, frankly, we just don't give a rip.
Thanksgiving may sound easy at first, but under scrutiny it looks more and more impossible by the minute. And it doesn't get better when we look at the way Paul talks about it in Ephesians 5:20: "Give thanks for everything to God the Father . . ." (italics added).
This little phrase—always for all things, in the King James Version—reveals the utter inadequacy of all our human attempts to manufacture thanksgiving, whether through clichés or any other mood-altering activity. Be thankful always and for everything? Is he kidding? Even for my spouse and kids or roommates when they're driving me crazy? Even for my church when it fails to meet my spiritual needs? Even for my cancer, which is draining life from me?

RALEIGH—A Brunswick County man and former Calabash firefighter has recently been sentenced to more than 19 years in federal prison for transmitting child pornography over the Internet.
