  Reckoning (R.E.M. album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reckoning is the second album by the band R.E.M. It was released in 1984 by independent label I.R.S. Records to critical acclaim and stronger record sales than their debut.
The cover art for Reckoning is the result of a collaboration between lead singer Michael Stipe and Georgia artist Howard Finster.
Reckoning reached #27 in the US (where it went gold in 1991), and became R.E.M.'s first UK chart album, where it peaked at #91.

A navigator using this method uses the craft's last known position (fix), then plots the craft's expected position for a given fix interval (elapsed time from one fix to the next) according to the compass course it is steering the speed it is making, and allowance for winds and tides.
Before the development of the chronometer, dead reckoning was the primary method of determining longitude available to mariners such as Christopher Columbus and John Cabot on their trans-Atlantic voyages.

 Gamasutra - Features - "Dead Reckoning: Latency Hiding for Networked Games" [09.19.00]
Dead reckoning is a form of replicated computing in that everyone participating in a game winds up simulating all the entities (typically vehicles) in the game, albeit at a coarse level of fidelity.
The basic notion of dead reckoning is agreement in advance on a set of algorithms that can be used by all player nodes to extrapolate the behavior of entities in the game, and an agreement on how far reality should be allowed to get from these extrapolation algorithms before a correction is issued.
If the dead reckoning and true state values differ by an amount that exceeds the agreed-upon dead reckoning threshold, a new entity state PDU is sent out to update the other nodes on the net.

Another indication of sunset reckoning can be seen in those passages where the "night" is mentioned before the "day." This sequence is less frequent in the Old Testament than the sequence in which the "day" is mentioned before the "night." The night-day sequence does, however, occur.
Perhaps the most explicit evidence of the widespread use of the sunset reckoning at the time of Christ is provided by the fact that the people of Capernaum waited on the Sabbath until sunset to bring their sick persons to Jesus.
According to the sunrise reckoning, however, both the slaying of the lamb and the eating of it with unleavened bread would take place on the 14th day, because the night following the slaying of the lamb would still be the 14th day until sunrise.

Still, reckoning will provide some boost to DPS in all situations, although how far through your swing timer you are when you get crit will have a very significant effect.
Reckoning bombs are what makes the difference between a "pretty good" talent, and an outstanding one.
There was a bug with this, where if you had a Reckoning attack but were stunned, your swing timer was bugged, and you would not be able to attack until you were crit again (to fire your reckoning off).

 The Reckoning of the Sabbath - article at BibleStudy.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Past attempts to extrapolate from the sunset reckoning some broader criteria to determine the beginning and end of the Sabbath for the Arctic regions are indicative of the conviction that the sunset reckoning is the normative Biblical method for determining the beginning and end of the Sabbath everywhere, irrespective of geographic location.
A third reason why the sunset reckoning is not suitable in or near the Arctic regions for determining the beginning and end of the Sabbath is simply because in these areas daytime is defined by the clock and not by the sun.
To insist on using the sunset reckoning in the Arctic regions for determining the end of the sixth day and thus the beginning of the seventh day means to disrupt the balance established by God between the daytime for work and the nighttime for rest.

 DVD Verdict Review - Dead Reckoning
You just know that Bogie will be framed, that the woman is not all she claims to be, and that there are probably seven or eight sides to every story.
Dead Reckoning was made over 46 years ago and good negatives must be hard to come across, but that doesn't mean that the print they utilized for the transfer had to show every bit of its age.
Dead Reckoning is too indebted to the stylish, suspenseful films that came before it, and since its release, many more films have done a better, more artistic job of reinterpreting the overall noir concept into something a little more suave and sinister.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DEAD RECKONING
DEAD RECKONING ($25) is an entertaining film noir that tries to emulate the "Bogie and Bacall" classics that Humphrey Bogart made over at Warner Bros., but this Columbia Pictures release comes up a bit short in creating the same kind of screen magic.
The plot of DEAD RECKONING concerns war veteran Captain Warren Murdock (Bogart), who is returning to the states with Sgt. Johnny Drake (William Prince), a paratrooper whom Murdock has recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor.
While on their way to Washington DC, Johnny learns that he is about to receive the medal and disappears off the train before coming under the scrutiny of the press.

 Nude as the News: R.E.M.: Reckoning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
While Reckoning may not be quite as varied or accomplished as the band's debut, it illustrates -- at a still-early point in the band's career -- R.E.M.'s ability to excel in a variety of musical styles.
Some of the songs' lyrics were portraits of folks, like "Camera," a eulogy for a recently deceased friend of the band's, or "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville," a song Mills wrote about a girl who planned to move back to her Maryland home from R.E.M.'s college town of Athens, Georgia.
Reckoning isn't the best-sounding R.E.M. album or the most cohesive, but it has a down-home feel that might make it the most comfortable R.E.M. record.

 Another Reckoning
The culmination is Daniel Jonah Goldhagen’s hate-filled A Moral Reckoning: The Role of the Catholic Church in the Holocaust and Its Unfulfilled Duty of Repair.
As Jody Bottum recently wrote in The Weekly Standard, A Moral Reckoning “is filled with so many simple errors of fact that it’s positively embarrassing to read.” The problem for Goldhagen, of course, is that if he actually had made the necessary changes, he would have had to rework the entire thesis of his book.
Similarly, one passage of A Moral Reckoning presents the document Nostra Aetate (“In Our Time”) as “a great step forward” in Catholic-Jewish relations, but elsewhere Goldhagen calls the same document a “deeply flawed and tepid statement.” He reports that the Church has made “enormous strides” in its approach toward Jews in the last 40 years.

'Reckoning' then offers no surprises to listeners of 'Murmur', but would be a fine release until the following year's masterpiece 'Fables of the Reconstruction of the Fables', which was in many ways the end of a band called R.E.M. and the birth of a band called R.E.M...
When R.E.M. released "Reckoning" in 1984, "Murmur", the Athens quartet's first album, was making a few waves on the college radio circuit, and garnering praise from a couple of rock critics.
"Reckoning" marks a distinct move away from the multilayered guitars of the band's first record, boasting a sound more reminiscent of the group's live sound of the time.

More radio-friendly than Murmur, Reckoning still maintained much of the introspection and somber quality of its predecessor.

I think the most true sense that "revelling" has really issued forth from this first record, for me, is just revelling in the act of playing music; there's a lot of that on the first record.
The Reckoning record is much more song-oriented, much more idea-oriented, and it's much slower and much quieter.
I think now, though, that my persona in these new songs is not so gallant, not very strong necessarily, and not so sure of themselves, not so sure that she's gonna figure it out, even - whatever "it" is. That's a tougher place to write from, that's a deeper level of...

 Ani DiFranco: Revelling/Reckoning (2001): Reviews
Pick from either the funky Revelling or the more downbeat Reckoning and you'll be rewarded with an intimate new mood or insight, expertly framed by the singer's acoustic-based every-style.
While the acoustic simplicity of Reckoning seems thin at first, particularly beside Revelling's sensual, bombastic joy, the croons and ballads grow on you, if not for their melancholy navel-gazing, then for their languid, old-school folksiness.
Revelling/Reckoning is both an accomplished album complimented by a loose-jam of ensemble players and a bare sketchbook where DiFranco sits alone in her room, creating a private universe accessible to anyone with the will to listen.
