Open Friday: Games Unplayed
45 comments:
Traveller...I bought it in 1980, and put it aside for Space Opera from FGU. I wish I would have ran both games.ReplyDelete
Unknown Armies, Wraith: The Oblivion, and the Midnight Campaign Setting for D&D 3.5. I could never find anyone who wanted to play them.ReplyDelete
Star Trek... I never had anyone who wanted to play.ReplyDelete
Birthright setting for AD&D2e. I would still love to play it someday.
Likewise Birthright, perhaps 2300AD as well.ReplyDelete
Traveller, Runequest, Gamma World and Marvel Superheroes (FASERIP).ReplyDelete
Except for MSH, none of these games was popular around here.
+1 to Birthright and RunequestReplyDelete
I turned down an opportunity to play Star Trek because I couldn't figure out how something like that would be a fun RPG. I wish I'd given it a chance.ReplyDelete
Cyberpunk 2020 and Mekton are two games I like the system for and love the settings for. I've only played Cyberpunk once and never Mekton, but I do hope to change that.ReplyDelete
I wish I'd tried Twilight 2000. My friends and I had it, we just never played it. I wonder what we would have come up with as young people still living under the fear of nuclear war.
Ars Magicka - I own tons of books, they are awesome, but the game system is waaaaay too complicated for my group so it is a private love.ReplyDelete
Birthright - Played it intensly for a brief period of time. Really cool setting and the unique game elements (modes?) opened my eyes to the wonderous potential of the traditional D&D end-game (rulers/landowners/war/politics), something I had absolutely no interesting in before playing Birthright. More people should play this.
D&D actually. I learned on Marvel superheroes from my friend's older brother (and his friends) but they reserved D&D for "them" only.ReplyDelete
No one in my same age group was a D&D player until I got to college. By then, it seemed like everyone was gravitating away from the game and onto things like Vampire, and a slew of other games I had no interest in.
Champions I guess. I have friends that rave about it but I never got the appeal on my read-thru.
Traveller - for whatever reason, when I first encountered it I couldn't figure out what you were supposed to do with it. It was too open-ended for me at the time, I guess.ReplyDelete
Ars Magica - always been fascinated with how the game plays against some standard RPG conventions, but could never fined anyone willing to play it.
Pendragon. I bought it on a suggestion from a friend, after telling him how much I dig Birthright. I haven't convinced my group to play it...yet.ReplyDelete
Glad to see so many Birthright fans here.
I owned but never played Swordbearer, though I always wanted to. Never played Runequest, even though I had that gorgeous red hardcover edition. Also, I wish I'd played Alma Mater more than once, just to see if it could be made to work.ReplyDelete
Talislanta! Wonderful world with decent rules. Thankfully, most books and supplements are available as free downloads now. It still remains difficult to recruit players for it. Perhaps it will remain a fantastic setting I can mine ideas from.ReplyDelete
Pendragon - I remember being very impressed by an interview with Greg Stafford in Games Master magazine way back when.ReplyDelete
Traveller - all those scenarios in White Dwarf looked interesting, but a scifi RPG wasn't what my group was looking for.
Marvel Super Heroes - I sold my boxed set on ebay recently. Again, fantasy RPGs were what my group was into, and not many were into comics like I was.
Empire of the Petal Throne. Only ever played in one session of it. It was actually one of the few games I never bothered to pick up at the time, probably because of the horrendous price tag (US$25; which was US$15 more expensive than D&D at the time).ReplyDelete
Although I did later pick up later versions of games set in Tekumel, such as the TOME and GOO games.
[Although true regret is a modern thing for me; I have many games that I really want to try out, that I doubt I will ever get the opportunity to do so. Even worse, if I do, I probably wont be able to "play" in them as I will be the one running them. Which while fun, isn't the same thing at all.]
Also Talislanta. Have owned various editions over the years and have never once played any of them. Not a lot of Tal people in Iowa, apparantly...ReplyDelete
Mekton. Despite owning virtually all the Mekton stuff produced, I never managed to persuade anybody they wanted to play. They all preferred Cyberpunk, instead.ReplyDelete

Traveller: played it a short while, but quickly replaced by Star Trek to keep the players happy.ReplyDelete
Vampire, the Masquerade: Had the main books & supplements, waited too long for another GM who wanted to run it. Never happened, and everyone lost interest.
Champions: Heard a lot of praise for it, but I held steadfast to MSH.
Empire of the Petal Throne: Also passed on this one, wasn't impressed with the artwork at the time. D'oh!
In one sense I don't have any regrets, though from what has been shared so far, I suppose I do have a regret for not looking into Ars Magica. I certainly have a regret for not purchasing Empire of the Petal Throne, though I do have the Different Worlds reprints, one of the original maps, and the Game Science maps. However, I've never actually tried running or playing EPT, just experimented with running other games in the setting. I also have most all of the Talislanta stuff. Same story as EPT, played with the setting but not the system.ReplyDelete
Hmm, I suppose Villains and Vigilantes might be another thing I might wish I had played at least once.
I have long ago given up on regretting not trying more games. The number of games out there is just impossible to keep up with.

Traveller: one of our group bought it ca.1984, but no one had ideas right away, and we went back to AD&D. I bought reprints last year, but haven't formed a group yet.ReplyDelete
Star Trek (FASA): we actually played it a little, but most of my group had turned anti-SF by then, and we couldn't come up with adventure ideas good enough to overcome that. I wish we could have done more.
OTOH, I have played a lot of Twilight:2000 and Birthright.
MERP - Love the High Fantasy setting, but our group was already involved with several other RPGs (AD&D, Boot Hill, TW2K, WFRP, Gamma World - loved that two-headed mutant chicken!!!) and most of the other members of my gaming circle were more into Dragonlance than Tolkien.ReplyDelete
Never did more than flip though the books at the local hobby shop. From what I understand a lot of the original material is now quite difficult to come by :(
Spawn of Fashan.ReplyDelete
For me it would be Tunnels and Trolls and Chivalry and Sorcery.ReplyDelete
Boot Hill for me. It just wasn't on my radar as a kid, but I didn't really get into Westerns until much later in life, so it would have been lost on me then anyway. I'd love to give it a go now.ReplyDelete
And, for simple fact that I've been dying to see a copy of this ever since I saw it briefly mentioned in Dragon years ago, I really want to sit in on a game of Creeks & Crawdads
Bushido. Never got to play it, always hugely intrigued. Ditto EPT, Mage, RQ, Space 1889, BESM. Nowadays I'd like to get a designer's eye on Mechwarrior, WFRP, Top Secret, Morrow Project, Dogs in the Vineyard, My Life With Master, Indiana Jones RPG, Savage Worlds, and see what makes them tick/distinctive, because I've had idiosyncratic ideas about system design since forever, and frequently discounted things just because.ReplyDelete
And I'd like to have a fresh go, now I'm all growed up, at T&T, Vampire, Doctor Who and Bunnies & Burrows, to try to excavate what they actually intended, rather than to play whatever the popular wisdom thought they were.
AD&D. There was a long period (late teens to late 20's, roughly corresponding with AD&D 2nd ed.) when I felt playing such an inferior, mechanically broken system was beneath me, and mere dungeon-delving was a juvenile waste of time. The problem being, very few of the other gamers around me were so discriminating, so I ended up shut out of most at-the-table experience. I ended up being the guy who read a lot of game books on my own, occasionally managed to convince some folks to let me GM one of the "weird" games I liked, but almost never got to actually play a character.ReplyDelete
I am slowly ticking through my list of games I have always wanted to play. Currently, we are playing 1E Gamma World. Next I would like to pick up Traveller (also 1E). We started a few Traveller games back in the day, but never really finished.ReplyDelete
Sometime I plan to actually play some Mythus as well.
As for games I want to play, but probably never will... Pendragon and Bushido.
Twilight 2000.ReplyDelete
There are many games I wish I'd run differently from how they were run, and other games I wish had been available at the height of my gaming career. Ahh...such is life.
DC Heroes - I used to play lots of Marvel, and even some Palladium Heroes (later Champions), but when I was at my height of super heroes gaming I played Marvel. A player of mine had gotten DC and wanted to try it. I wasn't in the mood to learn a new game, and Marvel was fine for me so I didn't try it. Years later; I'm on the net and reading about super heroes RPGs, and read how DC was in fact a well designed game. I hunted down some PDF copies to read. It looks pretty good. I now wish I had tried it, and maybe even converted my game over to it.ReplyDelete
I also wish I hadn't stuck playing Basic D&D as long as I did, and had gone 1e sooner. And wish I had realized the big difference between 1e and 2e, and had stayed playing 1e for games I ran. I didn't like 2e over-all and it had me stop playing RPGs for a few years until just before 3e came out.
Far too many to mention, and many already have been, but one in particular would be SHADOWRUN. I always dug cyberpunk, and it seemed an interesting twist, but I could never get my friends interested.ReplyDelete
Also wish I spent more time with some non-RPG's like Ogre and Car Wars. We tried them a few times, but they were just too SLOW.
Chivalry and Sorcery. I made great use of the world building rules, but never actually played the game itself.ReplyDelete
This is difficult, since I've played a lot of games over the years. Since I worked at a game store for a number of years, I had lots of opportunities. That said, though, I missed out on, and regret missing, Birthright (which I own, but never got to play in), Dark Sun (same situation), Lace & Steel (same… actually, all of these I mention are ones I own but have never been able to play, due to a lack of group interest) and for that matter Albedo, Wraith: The Oblivion, GURPS Goblins, Empire of the Petal Throne (any version, though I only own the Different Worlds reprints and several of the Adventures in Tékumel volumes), and Swordbearer. I've played, but not to any sort of conclusion, Pendragon, Chivalry & Sorcery, and Realms of the Unknown, and I'd like to play them more fully (though I'd need to heavily house-rule the last to resolve some of my reservations about it - heavily enough that I'd be pretty much writing a new game, which I may yet do).ReplyDelete
I'm sure that there are others, but that's what I can think of offhand.
This is a hard topic for me too, and of course complicated by what I ran, rather than got to play in. But James asked, what did we *choose* not to *play*, that we regret now? And that's a very specific question, so I'll try to answer it as stated.ReplyDelete
I played with enough groups that I probably could've persuaded someone to run almost anything, so if I let a game slip by, I suppose I was choosing not to play it. With that in mind:
I chose not to play WEG's Star Wars. I wasn't really into the movies back then. Now I think I would've enjoyed the game.
I chose not to play WFRP, just because we played so many fantasy games already. I know now that I would've loved it, and hope for another chance.
But there are plenty of games I wish I got to play, that I GM'd. And plenty of games we didn't play enough, through no fault of my own, that I wish we'd got to play more of.
But those are other questions.
Baron Greystone: Good point. I'd have to revise my answer, then. I've never regretted any game I chose not to play. There are few enough of those: FATAL and Empire of Satanis are the only two that come to mind immediately. I don't regret choosing not to play those.ReplyDelete
Oh, maybe I regret choosing not to play Earthdawn, though it was a choice between that and another game and then the opportunity never arising again rather than an active disavowal of Earthdawn itself. But I don't regret it a lot.
I regret never having played Boot Hill or Star Frontiers. I've always wanted to play both of those games but never had the chance to do so. It would be great to get in a game of one of those at some time.ReplyDelete
The game I've played but wish I could have played more was Call of Cthulu. I really liked that game but for a variety of reasons I never got to play as much. When I'd run a game, it always seem to break up too quickly. *sigh*
For me: Rifts and Shadowrun. I've always found both settings truly intriguing.ReplyDelete
Shadowrun is a great setting but at least the 1st ed was in sore need of a mechanics overhaul.ReplyDelete
Games I have never played but have been dying too: Boot Hill, Encounter Critical, Twilight 2000, Champions, and Bunnies and Burrows!
I played Runequeset once in the late 80's as a pup and don't remember anything about it other than the ducks.
Rolemaster... in Spain was a very popular game, but I never play it.ReplyDelete
I chose not to play Skyrealms of Jorune because I was disappointed to learn that nonhuman species were not an option for players (contrary to what I had supposed). I regret not trying it.ReplyDelete
I can think of games I wish I had gotten the chance to play more often but I can not think of a game I wanted to play but never did.
I've played a lot of different games. As I've said before here and elsewhere, trying new RPGs was my groups 'thing' for a while.
Yeah, Runequest has languished on my shelf for years, due to uynfair neglect on my part. Dying Earth still languishes due to outrageous lack of interest by ALL of my gaming peers. Old-school D&D of every stripe languishes due to being old-school (thanks again, philistine co-gamers)...ReplyDelete
Ragnardbard: I understand your pain as regards old-school gaming. Though most of my gaming group is interested in giving it a try (again, in most cases, for the first time in others), there is one player who is extremely opposed to the idea of even trying it out. He claims that he has been "abused" by old-school games in the past, which seems to be a line from out of the Story Game movement. It's most absurd because pretty much all of the goals he sets for story games are the same, in my opinion, as those for old-school ones, with only the perspective changed. Tribal identification can be powerful, I suppose.ReplyDelete

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Apocalypse didn't happen in 2011 but Harold Camping has confirmed that it will happen – October 21, 2012.
May 21st, 2012 has come and gone. The Rapture is over. Now the dread can begin because on October 21st, 2012… all of us that have been Left Behind, will die.
As crestfallen followers of a California preacher who foresaw the world's end strained to find meaning in their lives, Harold Camping revised his apocalyptic prophecy Monday, saying he was off by five months and the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.
Here's a recap of how we got here:
Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than two months left on the planet and she is going to spend her time spreading the word: Judgment Day is almost here.
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin May 21, 2012.
Technically, May 21st was Judgment Day, or The Rapture, so the world won't end that day, it's just the beginning of the end… But, don't worry, it will end VERY soon after. Probably by October 21st of this year – at the latest.
To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling through Latin America and Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.
"A lot of people might think, 'The end's coming, let's go party, let's drink and have multiple sex partners" said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. "But we're commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it's so much better to know that when the end comes, you'll be safe."
Last August, Exley left her home in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work with Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.
Her husband left for Vegas to drink and spend his life savings on prostitutes.
Exley, in the meantime, is organizing traveling columns of RVs carrying the message from city to city, a logistics challenge that her military experience has helped solve. The vehicles are scheduled to be in five North Carolina cities between now and the second week of January, but Exley will shortly be gone: overseas, where she hopes to eventually make it back to Iraq.
"I don't really have plans to come back," she said. "Time is short."
Not everyone who's heard Camping's message is taking such a dramatic step. They're remaining in their day-to-day lives, but helping publicize the prophecy in other ways. Allison Warden, of Raleigh, has been helping organize a campaign using billboards, post cards and other media in cities across the U.S. through a website, We Can Know.
The 29-year-old payroll clerk laughs when asked about reactions to the message, which is plastered all over her car.
"It's definitely against the grain, I know that," she said. "We're hoping people won't take our word for it, or Harold Camping's word for it. We're hoping that people will search the scriptures for themselves."
Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled. But he's 89, so he's not so worried about the world ending. He's already done all the living he wants to do.
The retired civil engineer said all his calculations come from close readings of the Bible, but that external events like the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 are signs confirming the date.
"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment," he said.
The doctrine known as the Rapture teaches that believers will be taken up to heaven, while everyone else will remain on earth for a period of torment, concluding with the end of time. Camping believes that will happen in October.
"If May 21 passes and I'm still here, that means I wasn't saved and I will be dead on October 21st. Does that mean God's word is inaccurate or untrue? Not at all," Warden said.
The belief that Christ will return to earth and bring an end to history has been a basic element of Christian belief since the first century. The Book of Revelation, which comes last in the New Testatment, describes this conclusion in vivid language that has inspired Christians for centuries.
Few churches are willing to set a date for the end of the world, heeding Jesus' words in the gospels of Mark and Matthew that no one can know the day or hour it will happen. Predictions like Camping's, though, aren't new. One of the most famous in history was by the Baptist leader William Miller,who predicted the end for Oct. 22, 1844, which came to be known as the Great Disappointment among his followers, some of whom subsequently founded the Seventh Day Adventist church.
Ron Hardeski of Bayonne, New Jersey also predicted the world would end on February 27th, 2004 – his wife's 50th birthday. The world didn't end, so Ron beat his wife to death with a Bible. He's serving a life sentence.
"In the U.S., there is still a significant population, mostly Protestant, who look at the Bible as kind of a puzzle, and the puzzle is God's word and it's predicting when the end times will come," said Catherine Wessinger, a professor at Loyola University in New Orleans who studies millennialism, the belief in pending apocalypse.
"A lot of times these prophecies gain traction when difficulties are happening in society," she said. "Right now, there's a lot of insecurity, and this is a promise that says it's not all random, it's part of God's plan."
Past predictions that failed to come true don't have any bearing on the current calculation, believers maintain.
"It would be like telling the Wright brothers that every other attempt to fly has failed, so you shouldn't even try," said Chris McCann, who works with Bible Fellowship, one of the groups spreading the message.
"If you want to say we're crazy, go ahead," she said. "But when you're dead on May 21st (or soon after), you'll know we were right. And you'll thank us."

DirectX 11 has been gathering a lot of support, especially over the last six months as ATI has released an entire top-to-bottom lineup with support for the standard. Although DirectX is probably the best known collection of Application Programming Interfaces for games, OpenGL still remains relevant as a competitor in driving gaming technology forward.
OpenGL is managed by the Khronos Group, and it recently released the OpenGL 4.0 specification. The twelfth revision to the original spec adds many new features, some of which is also supported by current hardware through the new OpenGL 3.3 spec.
OpenGL 3.3 adds support for OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) 3.3, which includes built-in functions for getting and setting the bit encoding for floating-point values. There are also new color blending functions and performance enhancements.
The real meat is in OpenGL 4.0, adding support for GLSL 4.0 and the fragment shader texture functions it allows. Per-sample fragment shaders and programmable fragment shader input positions will allow for increased rendering quality and anti-aliasing flexibility. The shader subroutines have been redesigned for significantly increased programming flexibility.
New tessellation stages and two new corresponding shader types are introduced. Tessellation control and tessellation evaluation shaders operate on "patches" (fixed-sized collections of vertices). Tessellation can increase visual quality significantly by taking a rough object and generating new vertices to smooth out the object and provide more detail without excessive performance penalties. These two new shader stages will enable the offloading of geometry tessellation from the CPU to the GPU.
A new object type called "sampler objects" will allow the separation of texture states and texture data. 64-bit double precision floating point shader operations and inputs/outputs will increase rendering accuracy and quality, while performance improvements will come from instanced geometry shaders, instanced arrays, and a new timer query. The drawing of data generated by OpenGL or external APIs such as OpenCL can be done without any CPU intervention.
The new spec is also supposed to improve interoperability with OpenCL for accelerating computationally intensive visual applications. OpenCL competes with DirectCompute, found in DirectX 10.1 and DX11.
Support for both the Core and Compatibility profiles first introduced with OpenGL 3.2 are continued, enabling developers to use a streamlined API or retain backwards compatibility for existing OpenGL code depending on their market needs.
ATI has been working extensively on OpenGL support and in shaping the standard. The functionality introduced in OpenGL 3.3 is supported by all ATI discrete graphics products released since the spring of 2007. That includes the consumer Radeon lineup and the workstation FirePro and FireGL cards.
The ATI Radeon HD 5900 and 5800 series are also fully compatible with the OpenGL 4.0 standard, including tessellation and integration with the OpenCL API. This means that full OpenGL 4.0 GPU acceleration will be available when software that is coded for the standard hits the market.
Almost all of the OpenGL 4.0 functionality is also available on ATI Radeon HD 5400, 5500, 5600, and 5700 series graphics cards, with the exception of double precision support. ATI will enable this feature at a later date.
The features are enabled through the ATI Catalyst OpenGL 4.0 preview driver, which can be found here. Full support for OpenGL 4.0 will eventually be folded in the regular monthly Catalyst driver updates.
"The fact that we are able to announce our support for OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL 4.0 at launch is an incredible feat on the part of our OpenGL software team, and speaks volumes to the commitment and continued support that the entire team brings to the many developers utilizing OpenGL. In fact, with the launch of these updates, industry pundits have commented that OpenGL is in for a renaissance of sorts. As a company that believes in and encourages open and industry standards, maintaining OpenGL as a strong and viable graphics API is important to AMD," stated Chris James, Social Media Strategist for the company's Global Communications team in a blog post.

American lawmakers demand to know who came up with Obama administration's controversial 'talking points' regarding September attack on US consulate in Benghazi, Libya
Lawmakers said Sunday they want to know who had a hand in creating the Obama administration's now-discredited "talking points" about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and why a final draft omitted the CIA's early conclusion that terrorists were involved.
The answers could explain why President Barack Obama and top aides, including U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, described the attack for days afterward as a protest against an anti-Islam video that spontaneously turned violent and why they played down any potential link to al-Qaida, despite evidence to the contrary.
Administration officials have defended the portrayal of the attack as relying on the best information available at the time that didn't compromise classified intelligence. Democrats say CIA and other intelligence officials signed off on the final talking points.
Republicans have alleged a Watergate-like cover up, accusing White House aides of hiding the terrorism link in the run-up to the Nov. 6 presidential election so voters wouldn't question Obama's claim that al-Qaida's power had diminished.
"I know the narrative was wrong and the intelligence was right. ... We're going to get to the bottom of how that happened," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she too has lingering concerns about how the talking points were created when it was clear early on that the military-style assault wasn't a simple protest gone awry.
She said Congress has asked the administration to provide an explanation.
"We gave the direction yesterday that this whole process is going to be checked out," said Feinstein, D-Calif. "We're going to find out who made changes in the original statement. Until, we do I really think it's unwarranted to make accusations."
The inquiry comes on the heels of closed testimony to the committees last week by former CIA Director David Petraeus. According to lawmakers who attended the meetings, Petraeus said the reference to al-Qaida was removed from the final version of talking points, although he wasn't sure which federal agency deleted it.
A senior U.S. official familiar with the document, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the process publicly, said the al-Qaida reference was deleted because the information came from classified sources and the links were tenuous.
Lawmakers said Capitol Hill briefings last week represented the FBI, State Department and CIA, but officials did not address what role political appointees such as Rice might have played in the generation of the talking points. Republicans said they want Rice to testify about what she knew and when she knew it.
"What I do know is that every member in the intelligence community says that references to al-Qaida were removed by somebody, they don't know who," said Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Petraeus had signed off on the final talking points and that going after Rice was a useless witch hunt.
But Rep. Peter King said senior intelligence officials were strong-armed into doing so.
"Well, they had no choice," said King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "They had no choice at that stage."
King did not elaborate on how he would know whether Petraeus was compelled to sign off on the talking points, and the lawmaker did not give any more details to bolster his allegation.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she expects the committee will hold at least three more hearings on the matter and publish a report on its findings.
"It took 17 days for the director of national intelligence even to issue a statement to say that it was a deliberate and organized terrorist attack," said Snowe, R-Maine. "That's unacceptable in today's environment."
Feinstein and Rogers spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press." Levin and King were on ABC's "This Week." Chambliss appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and Snowe was on CBS' "Face the Nation."

So says China, whose national legislature on Friday amended its law on the elderly to require that adult children visit their aged parents "often" -- or risk being sued by them.
The amendment does not specify how frequently such visits should occur.
State media say the new clause will allow elderly parents who feel neglected by their children to take them to court. The move comes as reports abound of elderly parents being abandoned or ignored by their children.
A rapidly developing China is facing increasing difficulty in caring for its aging population. Three decades of market reforms have accelerated the breakup of the traditional extended family in China, and there are few affordable alternatives, such as retirement or care homes, for the elderly or others unable to live on their own.
Earlier this month, state media reported that a grandmother in her 90s in the prosperous eastern province of Jiangsu had been forced by her son to live in a pig pen for two years. News outlets frequently carry stories about other parents being abused or neglected, or of children seeking control of their elderly parents' assets without their knowledge.
The expansion of China's elderly population is being fueled both by an increase in life expectancy -- from 41 to 73 over five decades -- and by family planning policies that limit most families to a single child. Rapid aging poses serious threats to the country's social and economic stability, as the burden of supporting the growing number of elderly passes to a proportionately shrinking working population and the social safety net remains weak.

Preservation versus Restoration
On 13 September 1964, the sole airworthy example of an RAF Bristol Bulldog biplane – one of only two remaining in the world – crashed while it was being demonstrated at the Farnborough Air Show. The engine cut out at the top of a loop, and it stalled into the ground. Fortunately, the pilot, Ian Williamson, survived with no more than cuts and bruises, but the aircraft was comprehensively wrecked.
This tragic event of nearly half-a-century ago was a wake-up call to the heritage industry and an early example of the classic dilemma: if something is unique and irreplaceable, do you carry on using it for the purpose it was designed for, or do you shut it away in a museum forever, where it will remain safe, but also cold and inert?
As a former archaeologist, I've always had a fascination with the business of preservation and restoration – deciding when to preserve something in its present condition, and when to improve it for aesthetic or practical reasons. The debate is ongoing; a call to the British Museum revealed that a statue of the god Hermes is about to have its missing nose replaced for the first time. The nose has been absent for as long as the statue's been in the Museum, but it's now been decided that the lack of it distracts too much from the sculpture's appearance, and so it will be restored.
In that case, the restoration will fall within easily defined limits. Very often, it's not that simple. How far do you go in restoring an object to 'as new' condition? Where do you draw the line between preserving an artefact as it is now, and bringing it back to a pre-existing state – one that, in the case of a building, a competition car or a World War Two aircraft, may be very different from the form it exists in now?
Take, for example, the Bentley Speed Six 'Old Number One', winner of both the 1929 and the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours races. During its intensive competition career it was heavily rebuilt, particularly after a horrendous crash in the 1931 Brooklands 500 Miles, and by 1933 there was literally nothing left of the 1929 car except a few miscellaneous fittings. This led to a crucial court case in 1989, when the owner Edward Hubbard sued a potential buyer, who had pulled out of the purchase on the grounds that the car was no longer Old Number One.
The judge found for Mr Hubbard, reaffirming the now-famous concept of 'continuous history' – there was a recognizably direct lineage between the car's 1929 form and the way it existed in 1989. But to attempt to restore it to its 1929 condition would have been ludicrous: it would have entailed replacing almost every part of the car.
And that's the trouble with cars, or aircraft, or indeed buildings: unlike Roman sculptures, they evolve while they're in use. Even assuming that a car, any car, is not crashed in the way that Old Number One was, it's physically impossible for it to remain completely original. Cars are all about driving, and that means that parts wear out or deteriorate with use. Here's the historian Doug Nye's take on the subject:
'Cars are in truth an assemblage of consumables [which] range from filters, belts, spark plugs, brake linings or pads to bearings and crankshafts, maybe even crankcases and cylinder blocks too. If the collector is unlucky, these consumables grow to include engine crankcases, blocks, bodywork, eventually suspension components, and perhaps ultimately even the chassis – the core of the car's identity – itself.'
Doug postulates that in enjoying ownership of a car, the collector is effectively consuming his possession, just as much as the connoisseur of vintage wines. 'The ultimate result of this progressive consumption is that our car as an historical artefact, embodying as it would the original craftsman's art and the accrued evidence, the bumps and scars and marks, left by its life through time – is erased.'
This is leaving aside entirely the question of whether it's right to expose a significant car to the hazards of competitive driving. For a race or rally car, that's the sole reason for their existence; you can't appreciate the essence of a Jaguar D-type until you've heard its straight-six at full yowl and seen it drifting around Goodwood in the hands of someone like Win Percy. But operating any machine brings inherent risks, and those risks are massively increased when a car is being used in competition. Human error or mechanical failure will always be a possibility – as the chicane at Goodwood proved at last year's Revival Meeting.
If a car has no great historical significance or rarity, most of us would agree that racing it is an acceptable risk; in fact, it can be viewed as benefiting the preservation movement, because cars that need new parts and repairs keep the specialists in business. It's a very different situation with, say, a former Le Mans winner – or the only original Bristol Bulldog aircraft.
Doug Nye says he's not against racing historically significant cars – rather that he's uncomfortable with it. And his opinion that by using a car, we consume it, raises another difficult question: when do we decide to restore a car rather than preserve it?
Preservation is not a new idea, by any means – German scientist Friedrich Rathgen published the first Handbook of Preservation in 1898 – but it's only comparatively recently that it has migrated outside the museum world and been embraced by the private collector. Although America has always been considered the land of the automobile, until very recently a classic car that had survived in original but slightly tatty condition would almost invariably be considered a prime candidate for restoration. The result would be shinier and smarter, but not necessarily an accurate reflection of what the vehicle was like when first built.
In recent years the concept of preserving a vehicle as it was originally built, along with all the scars inflicted on it by the passage of time, has become very 'in', with Pebble Beach introducing its now hugely popular Preservation Class in 2001. But a handful of far-sighted collectors have been leading from the front for some time now – Dr Fred Simeone, Miles Collier and Peter Mullin being three of the most influential.
Miles Collier is so passionate about the preservation of automobiles as artefacts that he hosts international symposiums at his museum in Naples, Florida. Interviewed by Octane for issue 82, he declared: 'If a vehicle doesn't need restoring, then don't restore it. The interpretative quality of a restored car is negligible, and needless restoration is tantamount to vandalism.'
It's a subject that's dear to the heart of Peter Mullin, too. The Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, has the finest collection of Art Deco automobile masterpieces in the world; many of them have been restored to concours condition – his Voisin C-25 Aerodyne won Pebble Beach last year – but there are several Bugattis, the one-time reserve collection from the Schlumpf museum, that have been left in barn-find condition. 'They have such tremendous history,' Peter told Octane. 'It's amazing how visitors gravitate to them.'
There is one particular Bugatti in the Mullin collection that encapsulates the whole 'restore or preserve' debate at its most extreme – the famous Type 22 Bugatti that was raised from the bed of Lake Maggiore in Switzerland in July 2009, and subsequently auctioned at Rétromobile in January 2010. Peter Mullin bought the car and has put it on display, unrestored but preserved, in his museum, with subdued lighting that gives an underwater effect. The underbidder at the auction, it is believed, intended to fully restore the car – something that horrified Peter.
'This car signifies the conversion of the automobile to art,' he explains 'It's a form of sculpture finished by mother nature, analogous to a Greek bronze that's been dredged up from the sea in a fishing net and is missing its head or an arm. It has an incredible patina: one half preserved by lying on its side in the mud, the other half corroded by the water. We looked at displaying it in a glass case, with the air replaced by an inert gas to preserve it, but the advice of a specialist from LACMA [The Los Angeles County Museum of Art] was to coat it in a special lacquer instead.
The corrosion of metals, and how to arrest its progress, is a subject that's still taxing scientists today. The Ancient Greeks knew rather more about this than their 19th century successors: when the Parthenon was built in Athens in 447-438BC, its blocks of marble were joined together with concealed H-shaped iron clamps, which were sheathed in lead to keep moisture out and prevent rust. When restorers reconstructed the now-ruined temple in the 1800s, they omitted the vital lead sheathing – and rust consequently split the marble blocks.
As we've already seen, there are points of contact between the world of restoring/conserving historic aircraft and that of historic cars; dealing with corrosion is, of course, absolutely fundamental for an ageing aircraft, especially since an increasing number of WW2 'warbirds' are being recovered from underwater locations. One of the most exciting recent discoveries is a 1940 Dornier Do-17 bomber, found lying inverted in the Goodwin Sands of the English Channel. It will be raised in the Spring of this year and preserved by the RAF Museum Cosford, a leading specialist in this kind of work.
Tim Wallis is manager of conservation at Cosford: 'We regard preservation and restoration as two intersecting curves on a graph,' he explains. 'In terms of deciding whether an aircraft can be made to fly again, we have to determine how much would have to be replaced, but we also have to consider the individual circumstances of the aircraft.
'In the case of warbirds, the relevant aviation authorities in the UK and USA apply very strict regulations to anything that will fly again, and usually they will insist on the main wingspars being renewed. That work is very invasive. Add to that requirements for modern radio equipment, upgraded undercarriage and so on, and you can see why the number of recreations rather than restorations is increasing – there are a number of wealthy collectors across the globe who are bankrolling such projects.'
It's easy to see the parallels between WW2 warbirds and historic racing cars. As time goes on, we're likely to see fewer 'genuine' historic machines on track, and more exact replicas – such as the amazing Crosthwaite & Gardiner recreation of a Mercedes-Benz W125, featured in last month's Octane. One wonders how much longer the Lancaster bomber that's the star of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will be allowed to thrill earthbound spectators with the awe-inspiring growl of its four Merlin engines as it motors overhead. At what point do you decide that its survival, albeit a static one, for future generations is more important than the vivid images – and consequently, the heightened awareness of airmen's sacrifice in WW2 – its operation conjures up for present ones?

The final crisis is coming! Under whose Authority will you place yourself? God's or man's?
Dear reader! All that Bible prophecy said would happen is happening right before our eyes. The signs are fulfilling and the final end time events of prophecy are upon us. "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision."(Joel 3:14) Are you saved? See What Must I do to be Saved?
Warning - The world at large, the various apostate churches and religions are coming together to unite the world under Satan's banner. Man is being lifted up in place of Christ and the whole world is 'wondering after the beast'. Our only safety is to abide in Jesus Christ. Please prayerfully read and study this vital end time message - WE ARE COMPLETE IN CHRIST.
End times prophecy is fast being fulfilled. "The hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (Rev 3:10) will soon be upon us, and all who are not firmly established upon God's Word and the righteousness of Jesus Christ will be deceived and overcome. Satan "works with all power and signs and lying wonders .. with all deceivableness of unrighteousness" (2 Thess. 2:9-10) to gain control of mankind, and his deceptions will increase right up to the very end. Please surrender your life to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus Christ is at the center of end times Bible prophecy. He is our righteousness and salvation. He is the truth. And Revelation 14:12 tells us that the saints are not those who merely have faith IN Jesus. But those who 'keep the commandments of God and the faith OF Jesus'. In other words, Jesus' faith is being lived out in their lives.
IS CHRIST LIVING IN YOU? (Galatians 2:20) ARE YOU CLOTHED WITH HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS?
Anyone who thinks they can get past Satan's deceptions without the truth of Christ and His righteousness are sorely mistaken. Only those who are earnestly seeking a knowledge of the truth and are striving to purify their souls through obedience, being doers of God's Word through faith, will find in Jehovah a sure defense. "Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee." (Rev 3:10), is Christ's promise. The final events are upon us friends. It's time to turn from our sins and submit our lives fully to Jesus Christ.
"Now is the time when we should closely connect with Jesus, that we may be hid under His wings when the fierceness of God's wrath is poured upon the world. We have wandered away from the old Biblical landmarks. Let us return. If the Lord be God, serve Him; if Baal, serve him. Which side will you be on?" (Testimonies for the Church, Vol.5, p 137)
We are here to bring you the much needed truth about Bible prophecy and the latest news relating to the end times. This world is on the very edge of eternity and we are soon to see that "great and dreadful day of the Lord", when Jesus Christ with all His holy angels will burst upon the world with great glory to claim what is rightfully His. Here you will not only be shown the truth about Bible prophecy and the end times, you will also receive wise council as to how you should be living in these last days, just before the second coming of Jesus.
Isaiah 58:1 ...'Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.'
"In our work, we need men of moral independence, uncontaminated and unshackled, so that when a principle of religion or duty is at stake they will stand firm in defense of the truth. We need men who will not hold their peace when they see evils coming in and wrongs being done. We need men who will refuse to give consent by silence to unjust actions." (Manuscript Releases, Vol.9, Letter 116, 1905)
In studying Bible prophecy, you will find that it contains some of the most solemn warnings, and we are here to give those warnings to the world. We are truly living in the end times now, and as the Bible reveals in Revelation 12, Satan has come down to this earth with "great fury" knowing that his time is short, and he is using all his power to deceive us and keep us from Jesus Christ. We MUST make every effort to press into God's Kingdom and through the righteousness of Christ we can overcome the evil one. Here at end times prophecy we will not be moved by worldly excitement or false revivals, because we have our minds fixed within the Heavenly sanctuary, where Jesus resides. This is a time of great spiritual peril, and we are called to turn away from sin and live holy lives for our Creator God.

= Trac with FastCGI =
Since version 0.9, Trac supports being run through the [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI] interface. Like [wiki:TracModPython mod_python], this allows Trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each request. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html SuEXEC]. Additionally, it is supported by much wider variety of web servers.
== Simple Apache configuration ==
There are two FastCGI modules commonly available for Apache: `mod_fastcgi` and
`mod_fcgid`. The `FastCgiIpcDir` and `FastCgiConfig` directives discussed
below are `mod_fastcgi` directives; the `DefaultInitEnv` is a `mod_fgcid`
For `mod_fastcgi`, add the following to an appropriate Apache configuration
# Enable fastcgi for .fcgi files
# (If you're using a distro package for mod_fcgi, something like
# this is probably already present)
Note from c00i90wn: It's very important the order on which server.modules are loaded, if mod_auth is not loaded BEFORE mod_fastcgi, then the server will fail to authenticate the user.}}} For authentication you should enable mod_auth in lighttpd.conf 'server.modules', select auth.backend and auth rules: {{{ server.modules = ( ... "mod_auth", ... ) auth.backend = "htpasswd" # Separated password files for each project # See "Conditional Configuration" in # http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/file/branches/lighttpd-merge-1.4.x/doc/configuration.txt $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/first/" { auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/projenv-first/htpasswd.htaccess" } $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/second/" { auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/projenv-second/htpasswd.htaccess" } # Enable auth on trac URLs, see # http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/file/branches/lighttpd-merge-1.4.x/doc/authentication.txt auth.require = ("/first/login" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "First project", "require" => "valid-user" ), "/second/login" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "Second project", "require" => "valid-user" ) ) }}} Note that lighttpd (I use version 1.4.3) stopped if password file doesn't exist. Note that lighttpd doesn't support 'valid-user' in versions prior to 1.3.16. Conditional configuration is also useful for mapping static resources, i.e. serving out images and CSS directly instead of through FastCGI: {{{ # Aliasing functionality is needed server.modules += ("mod_alias") # Setup an alias for the static resources alias.url = ("/trac/chrome/common" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs") # Use negative lookahead, matching all requests that ask for any resource under /trac, EXCEPT in # /trac/chrome/common, and use FastCGI for those $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac(?!/chrome/common)" { # Even if you have other fastcgi.server declarations for applications other than Trac, do NOT use += here fastcgi.server = ("/trac" => ("trac" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv") ) ) ) } }}} The technique can be easily adapted for use with multiple projects by creating aliases for each of them, and wrapping the fastcgi.server declarations inside conditional configuration blocks. Also there is another way to handle multiple projects and it's to use TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR instead of TRAC_ENV and use global auth, let's see an example: {{{ # This is for handling multiple projects alias.url = ( "/trac/" => "/path/to/trac/htdocs/" ) fastcgi.server += ("/projects" => ("trac" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/trac.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/path/to/parent/dir/of/projects/" ) ) ) ) #And here starts the global auth configuration auth.backend = "htpasswd" auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/unique/htpassword/file/trac.htpasswd" $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/projects/.*/login$" { auth.require = ("/" => ( "method" => "basic", "realm" => "trac", "require" => "valid-user" ) ) } }}} Changing date/time format also supported by lighttpd over environment variable LC_TIME {{{ fastcgi.server = ("/trac" => ("trac" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv", "LC_TIME" => "ru_RU") ) ) ) }}} For details about languages specification see TracFaq question 2.13. Other important information like [http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/TracInstall this updated TracInstall page], [wiki:TracCgi#MappingStaticResources and this] are useful for non-fastcgi specific installation aspects. If you use trac-0.9, read [http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2005-November/005311.html about small bug] Relaunch lighttpd, and browse to `http://yourhost.example.org/trac` to access Trac. Note about running lighttpd with reduced permissions: If nothing else helps and trac.fcgi doesn't start with lighttpd settings __server.username = "www-data"__, __server.groupname = "www-data"__, then in the `bin-environment` section set `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` to the home directory of `www-data` or some other directory accessible to this account for writing. == Simple LiteSpeed Configuration == The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as [http://www.litespeedtech.com/ LiteSpeed]. LiteSpeed web server is an event-driven asynchronous Apache replacement designed from the ground-up to be secure, scalable, and operate with minimal resources. LiteSpeed can operate directly from an Apache config file and is targeted for business-critical environments. Setup 1) Please make sure you have first have a working install of a Trac project. Test install with "tracd" first. 2) Create a Virtual Host for this setup. From now on we will refer to this vhost as TracVhost. For this tutorial we will be assuming that your trac project will be accessible via: {{{ http://yourdomain.com/trac/ }}} 3) Go "TracVhost → External Apps" tab and create a new "External Application". {{{ Name: MyTracFCGI Address: uds://tmp/lshttpd/mytracfcgi.sock Max Connections: 10 Environment: TRAC_ENV=/fullpathto/mytracproject/ <--- path to root folder of trac project Initial Request Timeout (secs): 30 Retry Timeout (secs): 0 Persistent Connection Yes Connection Keepalive Timeout: 30 Response Bufferring: No Auto Start: Yes Command: /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi <--- path to trac.fcgi Back Log: 50 Instances: 10 }}} 4) Optional. If you need to use htpasswd based authentication. Go to "TracVhost → Security" tab and create a new security "Realm". {{{ DB Type: Password File Realm Name: MyTracUserDB <--- any name you wish and referenced later User DB Location: /fullpathto/htpasswd <--- path to your htpasswd file }}} If you don't have a htpasswd file or don't know how to create the entries within one, go to http://sherylcanter.com/encrypt.php, to generate the user:password combos. 5) Go to "PythonVhost → Contexts" and create a new "FCGI Context". {{{ URI: /trac/ <--- URI path to bind to python fcgi app we created Fast CGI App: [VHost Level] MyTractFCGI <--- select the trac fcgi extapp we just created Realm: TracUserDB <--- only if (4) is set. select ream created in (4) }}} 6) Modify /fullpathto/mytracproject/conf/trac.ini {{{ #find/set base_rul, url, and link variables base_url = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- base url to generate correct links to url = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- link of project link = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- link of graphic logo }}} 7) Restart LiteSpeed, "lswsctrl restart", and access your new Trac project at: {{{ http://yourdomain.com/trac/ }}} ---- See also TracCgi, TracModPython, TracInstall, TracGuide
