More students have taken up the game as schools across the region add chess clubs. With a bow to that growing popularity, the South Dakota Chess Association will hold its state scholastic championships in Rapid City Saturday, March 9. This will be the first time that the state championship has been held in Rapid City since the annual tournament began in 1986. The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will co- host the event. Students will play in the Surbeck Student Center. Organizers expect nearly 200 players representing dozens of public, private and home schools to compete. The Sioux Falls Home School team, a top 10 finisher at the national championships last spring, has been playing very well, and will take part. The Riggs High School team from Pierre should be a strong contender in the high school division. Expect Rapid City Stevens to give the Riggs' team a run for their kings. The tournament is open to students – from novice to expert – in kindergarten through 12th grade. On- site registration begins at 7: 30 a. m. with the first round of play scheduled for 9 a. m. Everyone will play five games. No one will be eliminated. Trophies will be awarded to the top five finishers in four divisions: primary ( K- 3), elementary ( K- 6), middle school ( K- 9), and high school ( K- 12); and to the top three teams in each division. Registration is $ 7 in advance ( due by March 2) or $ 12 on the day of the event, plus U. S. Chess Federation membership. The U. S. Chess Federation has sanctioned the event. For information or to register, contact Eric Abrahamson at 605/ 484- 3820 or eric@ prologuegroup. com. # 30# Chess Challenge Sioux Falls Seventh- grader Takes On Tech Professors Seventh- grader Isaac Gerdes thrives on competition. Baseball in the spring. Football in the fall. Chess all year round. Last fall, the Sioux Falls home- schooler brought every ounce of his competitive zeal to the board when he won five of six chess matches and finished third among seventh- graders at a National Chess Championship held in Dallas. On Friday, March 8, Isaac will demonstrate his skills in Rapid City when he takes on several South Dakota School of Mines and Technology professors in a simultaneous match. The challenge takes place at 6 p. m. at Borders Books & Music in Rapid City. The event will occur the day before the South Dakota Scholastic Chess Championships, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 9, at the School of Mines. The 13- year- old Isaac has played competitive chess for the past four years. He has earned three state titles, and in 2001, finished third in the high school section as a sixth- grader. He also owns three Sioux Falls city scholastic titles. Isaac and his Sioux Falls Home School teammates recently finished second in the nation during the K- 12 National Tournament held in Dallas, Texas. Isaac won five out of six games there to finish tied for third in the nation among seventh- graders. Chess is only one of Isaac's interests. In addition to baseball and football, he skis, skates, plays golf and swims. He promotes chess by guiding sessions in schools and chess clubs. For information about the event, call Eric Abrahamson at 605/ 484- 3820. # 30#

Hello, everyone!
I am just now getting into raw food. I'm looking into getting a new high powered blender, and have been planning on getting a refurb Vitamix. However, then I ran across this new deal listed below.
$250 for a Blendtec. Sounds great. I have heard things about the Blendtec Total Blender being very good, and other blendtec models lacking compared to the vitamix. My question is, what model is this? I couldn't find it on their website. Is this an older, lacking model, or is it more than adequate like the new blendtecs? With the price difference, and my finances, I leaning toward getting this Blendtec, but I can't find any info on this particular model, and don't want to make a mistake that I will regret.
Your thoughts, insights, and help are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have reviewed the ratings and what I seem to find is that it's not the quality of the product but rather the quality of the installation.

"D Kent"
I have a Trane Heat Pump that was installed 09/1986. I have never had any repairs done to this unit. I know that I am bound to be on "borrowed time" so I decided to check out prices and reviews on heat pumps. My first choice will be another Trane if I can afford it. I was surprised to see a bad review on this website. Now I am worried about buying a Trane. If you have had good luck or bad luck with a Trane, please e-mail me and let me know. firstname.lastname@example.com thanks

"Amazing Machine, Save's me over $300 a month!!!"
I have a 1400 sq foot brick ranch, single pane windows. 2 years ago I replaced my old 4 year old gas furnace and a/C. My old gas bill's were $330 on a budget, everything else was electric! I was scared sick to receive my first electric bill because the new outdoor unit was about 4 times as big as the old unit. Now 2 years later my budget electric bill went down, and I have no gas bill!!! The only thing I can assume is that the old ac was a electric hog, and the new one is high efficient, yes the heat pump uses electric, but I only noticed a big drop in the summer bill and a moderate increase in the winter bill. I never had any problems yet(Knock on wood). I will say the pump is slow to warm the air temp, and it rarely shuts off. The contractor told me to never touch the thermostat in the winter because it would force the pump to run long and freeze up, that�s when the back up resistance would come on, so I listened. Over all I am extremely happy with my xl14i Trane heat pump.

"Would not consider anything else!"
This unit replaced a "Coleman" (made by another company/name used under license) that came with my new home. It was constant trouble from day one. The Trane xl 14I has been totally problem free. The electric bills are low! The variable speed indoor unit provides extreme continuous comfort. Don't buy anything else.

My home when purchased had a GE Weathertron system that functioned superbly. The first problem was the outside heat-pump and I had it replaced with a Trane xl1200. I did not have the inside air handler replaced because it was functioning 100%. Here it is 2008 and the only problem I'm having now is the blower motor has a noise. I'm considering replacing just the inside handler with a Trane 2tgb 2.5ton unit. Can't beat a Trane.

"This Unit is Still Going Strong"
This unit is still going strong after 16 years of service (xe1000). The neighbor's Trane still works well after 15 years. The only issue I had with the unit was a starting capacitor that went bad at year 8 - an $80 repair including the technician's time.

Our Trane XL1200 has been terrific. It heats well for low cost and rarely calls for back up heat. The cooling is great also. We had one minor repair on the indoor unit in 19 years.

Always try to see the glass half full
Meet new people, even if they look different to you
Remain calm, even when it seems hopeless
Take lots of naps..
Be weird whenever you have the chance
Love your friends, no matter who they are
Don't waste food
Take an occasional risk
Try to have a little fun each day... it's important
Share a joke with friends
Fall in love with someone....
...and say 'I love you' often
Express yourself creatively
Be conscious of your appearance
Always be up for surprises
Love someone with all of your heart
Share with friends
Watch your step
It will get better
There is always someone who loves you more than you know
Exercise to keep fit
Live up to your name
Seize the Moment
Hold on to good friends; they are few and far between
Indulge in the things you truly love
Cherish every Sunday
At the end of the day... PRAY
......... And close your eyes and smile at least once a day!

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.
There were all the regular types of stuff: Spilled milk and pennies saved. Finally the teacher got down to the last student and only Janie was left.
"Janie, do you have a story to share?"
'Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops. She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
''Good Heavens,' said the horrified teacher. What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?"
"Don't fuck with Mommy when she's been drinking."
I love these touching stories!
