Scott, actually the game was played between two GMs at 1 minute time control. The "obvious blunders" were actually played.
If you don't consider the time control when considering when to resign, you're missing part of the puzzle.
Great trick. You're really still not making any points though.
It doesn't take a strong player to know when a game is hopeless.
Predicting when a GM might resign is a much more delicate balance.
But beginner games have much bigger material deficits. You don't have to be strong to know when it's hopeless.
That's an easy resign after move 71...
Wrong, you missed it by 20 moves. It was completely hopeless at move 51. Just a matter of technique. Supposing these really were GM's.
Resigning a game too late isn't a problem though.
Oops, slight edit.
It was completely hopeless at move 51. Just a matter of technique. Supposing these really were GM's.
At beginner level i suppose 71 is the correct answer.
@ Scottrf. I edited my post before. Misread something. Your answer was right in fact.
I really wish I could play games where you can't resign just because you don't think your going to win.
I just started playing online and I hate people resigning before the game is finnished, especially when you spend 8 minutes building your attack only to have the game stopped once the person thinks it isn't in their favour.
Chess isn't about winning it's about learning new strategies to better your game.
Winning is a culmination of a lot of losing.
The end game is where you learn the most, especially when your on the back foot.
Can we please have an option to have games that can't be resigned unless both players agree?
Why is it that I keep reading about chess players wanting to change the rules, (which by the way have been in place for hundreds of years) just so they can benefit from a rule change? In this case, this player wants to change the rules so that they can checkmate their opponent and claim it helps improve their game. I say that is total BS. Let's say I am losing and I want to resign, but this opponent wants me to keep playing so that I can become a better chess player? He wants me to keep playing until I am checkmated so he can look down at the board and admire his handy work.
They actually have the balls to tell everyone else who plays chess what the purpose of the game is. (chess is not about winning...etc) and they go on to proclaim it is the end game where you learn the most.
Can we please have an option that when I log in as a paying member and go over to the Forum link and not have to read these ignorant topics? You see, by reading the Forum topics is where I learn the most about chess!
It is considered good manners to say check when one checks ones opponent......
It's actually considered bad manners, especially in a tournament game. Only beginners feel the need to say check. It literally "goes without saying" with stronger play.
Laws of chess: Handbook FIDE
12.6It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever. This includes unreasonable claims, unreasonable offers of a draw or the introduction of a source of noise into the playing area.
From this rule, if saying check distracts you or annoy's you, then you are within the rules to tell the Arbiter your opponent is so doing so.
For me, it is ok if my opponent is saying so in a very low volume unless it happens in the end game with very few pieces left on the board. However, yes after a move is made, the position should speak for itself and saying check in not nessecary and can be considered rude by some.
I wouldn't accept low volume either. It's rude because it implies you're so weak as to not know you're in check. I won't put up with that at any volume.
Yes, not being able to resign sounds like a good idea, because i love it when people just close their browser rather than resigning leaving me waiting...
I wouldn't except low volume either. It's rude because it implies you're so weak as to not know you're in check. I won't put up with that at any volume.
and you are within the rules to object. Not all chess players have the same perspective. I was playing in a tournament and this guy keep talking to me during the game. Under time pressure I blundered and lost the game. After the game I told the arbitor about what happened. He consulted my opponent and then declared a draw. I should of known the rules and nipped the talking in the bud. I am not much of a tournament player. I also remember in another game my opponent whispered check. That did not bother me, but I do not do it. If they do not see the check and make an illegial move, then the score sheet comes into play. I always thought is was kinda odd the players keep score, but with so many players in a tournament and so few officals what choice is there. I guess someone could try to cheat by keeping an incorrect scorecard on purpose!
Do you slump over your keyboard and cry out Why! Why! Why!?
Just to be clear about my position, ceritus peribus, if I feel there is a decent chance at counterplay, I will play on for as long as I feel the ability to construct some sort of fighting plan.
I once won an OTB game against a very strong opponent, after having my position collapse after a hard-fought, very long game (the last game to finish in the round). Time pressure was a factor, the opponent was very low on time and there were several moves to go until time control. But the biggest factor was this: I had a rook on an open file and he had the typical back rank mate vulnerability. All I had to do was clear that file of pieces and I have an instant win. I threw away piece after piece tempting his pieces off the file and sure enough, he blundered BxN and it was over.
Had I not had reasonable counterplay, I would have resigned once it became clear that my position was hopeless. But given the checkmate possibility, the position was not completely hopeless. I had a realistic chance to save the game.
That sounds like a magnificent multi-sacrifice combination. I'd be interested in seeing that game if you have it.
I loved it in the 1600's when they came up with the "rulische der blitzen" that changed the game to use clocks set for 5 minute time controls, and how they added the "lawen del mater suf" where you still wouldn't win the game if your opponent's clock ran out but you held insufficient mating material.
But it was certainly the greatest elder of all, Count vonFischerman, who made the game complete in 1637 with the introduction of the "Sefen Hundreds and Score Randomme" variation of positional practice, finally obliviating any need for additional nonsenses.
This "option to have games X" sounds like pure tyranny. I hate it when people force options on other people...
And in one out of one hundred games, their opponent slips and gives up a stalemate.
Was that worth the five hours they spent playing out the other 99 games?
Most people say no.
Actually, I get more like five out of a hundred, put it's probably the class of player I compete against. Again, your mileage may vary.
Had to correct my post as I saw I used "except" instead of "accept". I must have been asleep when I wrote that.
At any rate, I remember during my first OTB tournament, I got paired with the leader in the 4th round. In order to disrupt my concentration, he would smack the button on my clock really hard so the noise was sharp and loud. It worked to the point of causing me to lose focus and I played into a lost position. Finally I spoke up and told him to stop doing that, but by that point he knew he had me beat and it didn't matter. I vowed from then on to never let my opponent pull distractions like that.
By the way, that opponent went on to win the tournament, and turned out to be a sandbagger upon investigation. He took the prize money and promptly never played a rated game of chess again. That was 15 years ago.

Eurozone Crisis as Historical Legacy
The Enduring Impact of German Unification, 20 Years On
As former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker once observed, "Almost every achievement contains within its success the seeds of a future problem." The eurozone crisis of 2010 provides a trenchant example of this phenomenon. When the long-sought but controversial implementation of a European Monetary Union (EMU) finally began -- as part of the bundle of deals that produced German reunification 20 years ago, on October 3 -- it represented a significant accomplishment. Though the idea of a single European currency had been around at least since the Werner Report of the 1970s, German reunification provided the necessary catalyst. For all the success of that achievement, however, it left behind fateful seeds, which sprouted into the 2010 crisis.
The eurozone crisis resulted not only from the economic woes of weaker member states but also from flaws in the Maastricht Treaty and from Germany's long-term declining interest in European cooperation. Since a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, the members of the eurozone should use the sovereign debt debacle of 2010 as a second "1989 moment." They should retrofit the eurozone with the greater political institutionalization needed in the post-Cold War era -- a goal Germany sought but failed to achieve at the end of the Cold War and now no longer prioritizes. In other words, the best way to deal with today's issues is to finally address two decades of unfinished business.
The Bargain of 1989-90
European integration, and especially monetary integration, has a long history of stop-and-start activity. The 1970 Werner Report was a prime example: it originally called for an EMU within a decade, but each subsequent effort stalled short of implementation. The prospect of denationalizing currency and surrendering control over a fundamental tool of statecraft -- currency valuation -- was daunting to the member states of the European Community (EC). Politicians knew that

Animosity between the prosecution and the defense was evident earlier today in the trial of a Jersey City man accused of murder, reaching its climax when defense attorney April Petersen motioned for a mistrial.
The motion, which was promptly rejected by Judge John Young, came after Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Nicole Ghezzar pounded Petersen's investigator, Jessica Guzman, with questions regarding the way she collected statements from three witnesses in the trial.
Petersen said Ghezzar was "denigrating what the job of the defense attorney is," but the judge disagreed, saying Ghezzar was questioning the credibility of those statements in a way that was permissible and relevant.
Christopher Gonzalez, 24, also known as "Starz," was 21 when authorities say he murdered Darryl U. Wilson, 24, of Jersey City on a Kennedy Boulevard sidewalk near Boyd Avenue on Oct. 16, 2010.
Gonzalez is also accused of attempting to murder Wilson's friend -- Rashad Funches, 27, of Keansburg -- before turning his gun on Wilson.
In February 2013, Guzman contacted three people who were present with Wilson the night he was shot -- Rashad Funches, James Porcher and Perla Caminero -- and took statements from each of them in their own homes.
Under cross-examination by Ghezzar, Guzman admitted that she first took hand-written notes while interviewing the three, and then typed up their statements at her office. Guzman said she then gave copies of those statements to the three people, so that they could verify the statements' accuracy.
In her line of questioning, Ghezzar brought up how Funches never signed his statement after meeting with Guzman, that Porcher signed his statement a month-and-a-half after meeting with Guzman; and that Caminero signed her statement six days after meeting with Guzman.
When asked if it would've been better to let Porcher and Caminero check the accuracy of their statements the same day they gave them, Guzman said giving the two time to think about their statements before they signed them wasn't a worse alternative.
Ghezzar then honed in on the fact that Guzman included a paragraph near the signature line of the statements that said the signatory was subject to punishment if he or she did not tell the truth, which Ghezzar suggested wasn't true, given that Guzman was not a law enforcement officer.
Guzman said she could only speak for herself when Ghezzar asked repeatedly if she was aware that if someone lied to her, that neither she nor anyone else could legally punish the person who lied to her.
The tension between Petersen and Ghezzar boiled over on the point of Guzman conducting her interviews in the homes of the witnesses, when Ghezzar asked "Would you agree that if they're more comfortable, that they'd be more comfortable with not telling the truth?"
At that point, Petersen loudly objected.
After a short break, Petersen made a motion for a mistrial on the grounds that Ghezzar "was denigrating the work of the defense investigator, and, in turn, "the job of the defense attorney," which the judge promptly rejected.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama.--Alabama State made it interesting, but did manage to pick up its first win of the season with a 74-68 victory against Troy.
A 3-pointer from Shawntez Patterson with 11:28 left in the game gave the Hornets a 64-44 lead, which was also their largest lead of the game.
From there, Troy started to work its way back into the game by scoring nine consecutive points over the next five minutes to cut the lead to nine at 64-53.
A Stephawn basket and Denzell McDaniel three slowed the Trojans momentum pushing the lead back out to 69-53 with five minutes left, but Troy had one more push in them.
Troy closed the game out scoring ASU 15-5 to cut the deficit down to the final six- point margin. Helping the comeback was ASU's problems at the free-throw line where at one point it missed six consecutive and only made six of their 19 attempts in the second half.
For the second consecutive game, the Hornets had four players score in double digits as Patterson, Brown and Phillip Crawford scored 12 points each. Coming off the bench McDaniel added 10.
ASU shot 52 percent from the field and was equally impressive hitting 10 of 17 (59 percent) from the 3-point line. The Hornets out rebounded Troy 40-35 with Brown and Luther Page leading the way with six rebounds each.
"We must have missed 12 or 13 out of our last 14 or 15 free throws," ASU coach Lewis Jackson said. "But our defense got relaxed. We got up and then they started to make shots. They had gotten cold for a while but then they were making shots and we would get lost on defense so we have a lot of work to do, but we did see some good signs."
Tevin Calhoun led Troy with 13 points and Jethroe Deonata added 11.
The Hornets held a 42-36 halftime lead as they shot 59 percent from the field in the opening half including knocking down six of their nine three point attempts.
Brown and Patterson led the way with eight points each and Ryan Watts came off the bench to add seven.
Troy came out hot as well knocking down their first five 3-point attempts. The Trojans finally cooled off and missed their final seven 3-point attempts of the half and finished the half shooting 39 percent from the field. They were able to stay close by hitting nine of their 13 free throws.
Calhoun came off the bench for Troy and scored 10 points to lead the Trojans.
"We did get a win and any way you look at it you want to get on the winning side of it," Jackson said. "The teams that beat us were better than we were. We played good against them in stretches but we have to figure out how to put it all together."
The Hornets (1-8) are back on the road for their next four games which will begin at Evansville Saturday at 1:05 p.m.

Suh, out of Nebraska and Portland's Grant High School, is one of three players from Oregon named to the two All-Pro teams.
Joining Suh on the first team is Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu out of Douglas High School.
Former Willamette High School star, Philadelphia safety Quintin Mikell was named second-team along with six other safeties.
Suh was the only rookie named to the first-team.
"It's a great honor, and it's an award I've had my eye on, along with being in the Pro Bowl," Suh told the Associated Press. "Those are two of the highest accomplishments you can have, other than winning a Super Bowl and being MVP. To be the only rookie speaks volumes about the help I got from my teammates -- especially on the defensive line -- and my coaches."
Suh, who led all defensive tackles and rookies with 10 sacks this season, received 30 of a possible 50 votes trailing only Baltimore's Haloti Ngata, out of Oregon, who received 45 votes.
Suh, who will miss Sunday's Pro Bowl after undergoing shoulder surgery, became the first rookie defensive lineman to be named All-Pro since Tennessee's Jevon Kearse in 1999.
"It's humbling and encouraging at the same time," Suh told the AP. "Kearse is a well-known player and was a proven player over time, so hopefully, I can live up to the standard he set. I was fortunate to be able to grasp my role in our scheme and to flourish in it. I'm just going to keep working hard to improve, because I'll never be satisfied."
Polamalu had 49 tackles seven interceptions to be named all-pro for the third time.
This is the first time Ngata has been named all-pro.
No second-team quarterback was named because New England quarterback Tom Brady was a unanimous selection as the first-team quarterback receiving all 50 votes.

Want to be taken seriously? Take yourself seriously, first.June 13, 2010 By: almostgotit Category: Uncategorized
Good news! I was so organized this morning that I was nine minutes early to my bus stop, which should have been ample time to catch my semi-hourly bus in time to get to work.
Bad news! Unfortunately, as early as I was, my bus was exactly one minute earlier, and I saw it whizz by as I waited to cross the last street to get to my stop.
It may have been the earlier bus running 20 minutes late, but how was I to know? And who has 40 minutes to wait at a bus stop every morning simply to be SURE to catch a semi-hourly bus, to account for that potential range of earliness/lateness? Where was the sign with the number I should call to find out whether the bus was on time, even?
I have lived in a lot of cities and taken a lot of public transportation: busses, subways, trolleys, commuter trains. That's why I continue to find the Knoxville public transportation system so frustrating.
First, the ridership demographic is very telling. When I've taken the bus to or from work, I've seen very few business-types on the bus with me. Instead, the bus seems mostly to be an extension of the local homeless shelter along with small clusters of non-English speaking newcomers in clean but threadbare clothes, often toting tiny children behind them.
Why don't other people take the bus? Perhaps because most of us need more control over our daily schedules and can't risk being 40 minutes late for a dental appointment, or a meeting, or even a job.
My suggestion to the Knox Area Transit system, which currently struggles for viability because it's struggling for riders: KAT, in order to be taken seriously, you must take yourself (and your schedule) seriously, first.

Forty four girls lacrosse players will take the field at Towson for the Under Armour All-America Classic. If you're in the area, head over to check out some of the sport's next stars.
Five Players to Watch
Courtney Tomchik, Midfield, Broadneck – Penn
A speedy midfielder who led Broadneck with 82 goals and 33 assists, Tomchik can go to goal, make plays through the midfield and mark an opponents top midfielder.
Taylor D'Amore, Midfield, Canandaigua – Johns Hopkins
A player with a high lacrosse IQ and stellar stick skills, D'Amore headlines a strong class at Johns Hopkins. She helped lead Canandaigua to the New York Class B Section V title.
Mackenzie Cyr, Midfield, Winters Mill – Penn State
A lefty with natural athleticism, watch for Cyr to step in as a playmaker. She led Carroll County in goals and assists and became the first Carroll player to record more than 200 goals and 200 assists through her career.
Kara Mupo, Attack, Rocky Point – Northwestern
The Wildcats are looking for a new star on offense and Mupo just might be the next one to dazzle. Her quickness makes her an ideal fit for Northwestern's style of play and she can finish just about anything.
Taylor Virden, Defense, McDonogh – Duke
A tremendous shut down defender, Virden held opponents' top players to limited numbers in 2010, including Notre Dame Prep's Covie Stanwick, who she held to just two goals in the IAAM A Conference title game.
Three Future Teammates to Watch
Hannah Franklin, Reilly Woodman, MJ Coyle, Barb Black
These four (and midfielder Kelyn Freedman, who's on the North team) already got a warmup together playing in the U-19 tournament in the Vail shootout and said they were clicking very well on the field. Look for Franklin and Woodman to connect on attack while Black and Coyle man the defensive end.
Kaitlyn Brosco, Grace Dooley
Notre Dame
Both are do-it-all midfielders who can run up and down the field all day about to enter a program that gets a lot of production from its middies. Brosco has the ability to take over a game on her own and Dooley was dominant on the draw in Loyola Academy's (IL) run to the state title.
Brooke Griffin, Kelsey Horton, Beth Glaros, Amalie Trentzsch
Four of the nation's top midfielders, all bring slightly different styles and skill sets to the field. Griffin's a top playmaker, Horton has stick skills that will most likely put her in more of an attacking role at Maryland, and Glaros is a great dodger. Trentzsch is more of a defensive minded middie who can spark plays between the lines.

Letters to the Editor
Latest news, top stories, and community events,
We're lucky some care about the less fortunate
A big thanks to Chris Quiles, John Meadows and Daniel Scribner for their letters in your April 27, 2010, issue. My gratitude to all of you for your intelligent, articulate responses to Mr. DeVol's diatribe.
Kudos to Brian Beckley for his column which I am sure he realized would result in an angry backlash from the uninformed and recently political. Chill, people! We all know nothing in government is ever perfect, but aren't we lucky that there are people who still think we have a responsibility to others less fortunate.

The initial planning meeting for the Gretna centennial year was a big success, with a large attendance of residents, many representing clubs and organizations in the city. Mayor Ronnie C. Harris led the kick-off meeting and Councilwoman Belinda Constant introduced the 100th birthday logo that will be used on flags, banners, commemorative items and other paraphernalia.
A PowerPoint presentation of the calendar year by months was shown, and ideas for monthly events were suggested by the crowd. The first event that may be tied to the centennial program is the German Heritage, Cultural and Genealogical Society's Oktoberfest on Sept. 29.
"Our Centennial Celebration meeting was a wonderful expression of suggestions, ideas and support by our residents and civic associations. I believe everyone was excited to have left the meeting knowing that they will be part of something great for our community," Harris said.
Those interested in volunteering for some of the special events can sign up by contacting Tourism Coordinator Ronnie Gauthreaux at 504.363.1580 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Obviously, the committee doesn't have to create an event for the month of October since the Gretna Heritage Festival, locally known as Gretna Fest, is scheduled for Oct. 5, 6 and 7.
The lineup for the weekend can be found at www.gretnafest.com.
Juanita Figarola Angelica, affectionately known as Aunt Nita, recently celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by family and friends at a party held at the New Orleans Ladies Ballroom in Terrytown.
There were five generations of family members at her party, which included numerous nieces and nephews and greats.
The spry centenarian, who loves chocolate and says her secret to a long life is "to love, laugh, and spend time with family," is also quite the dancer.
She danced in the second line at her own party.
She was born on Aug. 11, 1912 in Algiers and grew up there. She owned Angelica's Florist on Opelousas Avenue. She is now a longtime resident of Gretna.
Her husband Carlo Angelica was a World War II veteran. They enjoyed many army reunions and traveling the country together before his death in 1996.
After the summer hiatus, the Gretna Art Walk joins the Farmers Market on Sept. 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Huey P. Long Avenue. More than 20 arts and crafts vendors will have their works for sale with other articles of interest available for gifts and for the home.
Art objects by local artists will be offered, including paintings, handmade jewelry, wood crafts, glass items and sewn crafts.
New vendors who wish to participate in the Gretna Art Walk are asked to fill out an application online at www.gretnala.com.
In conjunction with the Art Walk, a free tour of the little red caboose will be open on Sept. 8 and every second Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon.
The caboose is located on the 4th Street side of the market behind the old train depot now used as Gretna's Visitor Center
Beginning Sept. 11, regular sessions of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults Program at St. Cletus Church will meet every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Parish Annex Building 3600 Claire Ave.
Call 504.367.7951.
Today's Tidbit: In 1886, John Stretzinger advertised as a Tonsorial Artist offering shaving, hair cutting and shampoo. He was located on Front Street between Lavoisier Street and Lafayette Avenue.

French theologian of the Jansenist School, b. at Bayonne, 1600; d. at St. Cyran, 1678. He was a nephew of du Vergier de Hauranne , Abbot of St. Cyran, who sent him to Belgium to be taught by Jansen. When he returned to France he served for a time as tutor to the son of Arnauld d'Andilly and later, 1644, succeeded his uncle at the abbey of St. Cyran. He did much to improve the abbey ; new buildings were erected, the library much increased, and the strictest rule enforced. Unlike many commendators of his day who scarcely ever saw the abbeys over which they held authority, Barcos became an active member of St. Cyran, was ordained priest 1647, and gave himself up to the rigid asceticism preached by his sect. His friendship with du Vergier and Arnauld and, through them, with Port-Royal soon brought him to the front in the debates of Jansenism. He collaborated with du Vergier in the "Petrus Aurelius" and with Arnauld in the book on "Frequent Communion".
Of his own treatises, some bear on authority in the Church and some on the then much-mooted questions of grace and predestination. To the first class belong (1) "De l'autorité de St. Pierre et de St. Paul" (1645), (2) "Grandeur de l'Eglise de Rome qui repose sur l'autorité de St. Pierre et de St. Paul" (1645). (3) "Eclaircissements sur quelques objections que l'on a formées contre la grandeur de l'Eglise de Rome" (1646). These three books were written in support of an assertion contained in the book "On Frequent Communion ", namely: "St. Peter and St. Paul are the two heads of the Roman Church and the two are one". This theory of dual church authority, implying an equality of the two Apostles, was condemned as heretical by Pope Innocent X, in 1674 ( Denzinger, Enchiridion, 965).
To the second class belong (1) A censure of Sirmond's "Praedestinatus" (1644). (2) "Quae sit Saneti Augustini et doctrinae eius auctoritas in ecclesia?" (1650). Barcos holds that a proposition clearly founded on St. Augustine can be absolutely accepted and taught, regardless of a papal Bull. That exaggeration of the African Doctor's authority was, from the beginning of the controversy, the main prop of the Jansenists who read in St. Augustine what they pleased and then claimed immunity from the authority of the Church. This new error was condemned by Pope Alexander VIII, 1690 (Cf. Denzinger, no. 1187). (3) "Exposition de la foy de Eglise romaine touchant la grâce et la prédestinatin" (1696). This book was written at the request of the Jansenist Bishop of Aleth, Pavillon, and may be looked upon as the official exposé of Jansenism. It was condemned by the Holy Office, 1697, and again, 1704, when it was published with the "Instructions sur la grâce" of Antoine Arnauld.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Blonde goddess, Taylor Tilden, is a stunning view in her pink bra and panty set with black fishnet stockings.
Letting her sensuality take control as she relaxes on a sofa, she stares into the camera with hypnotic eyes and seductively undresses.
Her bra is discarded and her perky natural are bared. She then wiggles out of her panties and sits upright with her lovely legs parted.

When Taylor Tilden and Malloy Martini get into the bath together, they have no intentions of getting clean. In fact, these blonde flirts fully plan to get as dirty as possible!
Their hot bods get cooled off in the bath water but it does little to cool their burning libidos. They take their time tasting and caressing each other all over.

DMA 92: Bristol, VA + Kingsport/Johnson City, TN HD locals - what satellite?
Posted 15 February 2009 - 12:33 PM
Which satellite is being used?
I called customer service, and they didn't know, except that it will go live in a few weeks.
I currently have a 1000 dish and get 110, 119 and 129.
Customer service indicated that if the HD locals were not on a satellite that I can currently receive, they would change me to Eastern Arc if reception is satisfactory, or else a second dish would need to be installed. 59.95 charge either way for service call.
My understanding from prior posts here was that Dish was eventually going to migrate Eastern US customers to Eastern Arc, starting with new installs, apparently when needed for HD locals as well.
Is the second dish only needed for customers at the fringe of the Eastern Arc coverage area?

Got my HD locals a few minutes ago. National feeds look great. Local not so good (4:3) but at least no stretching of picture. I'll have to say I'm pretty pleased to have them. Thanks to the forum I knew they would be available today. Dish didn't bother to notify me. I could have gone for months and not found them. Oh well - not to complain. Thanks Dish for the locals in HD.
I have to agree. The locals don't look as good as I expected, but they still look a lot better than before. Overall I'm happy to have them since I've been waiting a long time. I have a friend still on D* and he says his locals look great so I'm not sure if it's his eyes or if the pic quality is different than what I'm getting. I'll have to visit him and compare.
Posted 26 February 2009 - 04:46 PM
DISH still hasn't fixed EPG for the area PBS stations; get all 3 (or 4) OTA with good reception and signal strength in 80s. I think that the signal I can receive is from from Norton, VA than whatever site they assume is for our DMA, so no EPG.

One summer morning in Pakistan, a Christian woman named Asia Bibi took a break from her fieldwork to drink a cup of cold water from a well. Since she was a Christian, the Muslim women there saw her actions as contaminating the water. Angered, the women began to argue with her. Bibi asked them, "I believe in my religion and in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of mankind. What did your Prophet Muhammad ever do to save mankind?"
Her question made the women furious. Bibi was beaten by a crowd and thrown into prison, accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death. She has been held since June 2009, and has become an international symbol of the capriciousness and cruelty of the Pakistani blasphemy law. Two Pakistani officials who spoke up for Bibi have been assassinated.
While deadly attacks on Christians over proposals to repeal the blasphemy law have now been replaced by reprisals over drone strikes, the effect on Pakistan's church is much the same. This weekend saw the deadliest attack ever on Pakistan's Christians—at least 85 people were killed and 100 wounded in a bombing of All Saints Church in Peshawar.
French journalist Anne Isabelle Tollet, serving as Bibi's ghostwriter, tells her story in Blasphemy: A Memoir: Sentenced to Death over a Cup of Water. (We're excerpting it today.) Freelance reporter Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra spoke with Tollet (before the weekend's bombing) about the blasphemy law in Pakistan, relationships between the country's Christians and Muslims, and the dimming hopes that Bibi will escape a martyr's death.
In order to be Asia Bibi's ghostwriter for the book, you had to tell the story in the voice of a woman you had never seen or talked to. How did you do it?
It wasn't easy. But I knew Pakistan and the Christian minority there very well because I had been living in Pakistan for three years. I could understand the people. I met Asia's sister, and I knew her children and husband. I asked them many, many questions about her. I asked them about what she was like, and about her faith, and about their feelings on many things. And because I was involved in this story and knew Shahbaz Bhatti, the Pakistan minister of minorities (one of the men who was assassinated after speaking up for Bibi), I knew many things about the situation and about the family.
Even though I never met Asia Bibi, I was able to interview her indirectly by asking questions through her husband, who was allowed to visit her once a week at the jail. I could also imagine where she was, because I used to visit different jails in Pakistan for other stories. I know how it is.
I think I managed to do it, because when we gave the book to her family, they were very surprised because it portrayed exactly what she is.
Drinking the water from the well contaminated it for the other women. But doesn't the crucial moment comes when Asia asks the women what Mohammad has ever done for mankind?
Yes. It was an offense because these women are not educated, and they live in fear. The things they do to be a good Muslim are to pray every day and not allow Christians to talk about the prophet Mohammed.
Bibi's survival tactics in Pakistan before her arrest seemed to be keeping her head down and being respectful of everyone and everything. Is that the best option for non-Muslims living there? Or is there no protecting yourself?
It depends on where you live, whether you live in a small village or in Punjab [Pakistan's most populated and developed area]. Some people are not educated at all, and when you are a Christian you have to be careful. In a big town, you're okay if you are living in a Christian community. They live together and don't have any trouble with Muslim people.

Wedgwood Elementary School hosted its last Candy Bar Bingo event of the 2012-13 school year on Friday, March 15, 2013. Candy Bar Bingo is sponsored by the PTO as one of its non-fundraising events of the school year (others include Field Day and the Scholastic Spring BOGO Book Fair).
The Wedgwood All-Purpose room was packed with students and their families. There was even a group of Wedgwood alumni who came back for the fun. Principal Mr. Mike Landon and first-grade teacher Mrs. Jan Sanders kept the crowd entertained with a variety of bingo styles, while second-grade teacher Mrs. Marla Ruh helped the PTO volunteers hand out candy.
Although the students may not have gone to bed on time given the amount of candy they ate, everyone left with a smile on their face and some candy in their hand.
PTO members Beth Guido and Michelle Natali were co-chairs of the Candy Bar Bingo event.

I just saw this in The Stir - Do you wash your hands after using the restroom (using soap)?
Only 5 Percent of Us Are Washing Our Hands Well Enough to Kill Germs
If you're already a germaphobe, I recommend you back aawwwaaay from this story, because it might just be too much to handle. But if you're not a germaphobe, this news may be enough to make you one. A recent study of more than 3,700 restroom patrons done by Michigan State University researchers drudged up some horrifying facts about our handwashing habits.
Apparently, only 5 percent of people who used the restroom scrubbed their hands long enough to kill infection-causing germs. Guuugh, how embarrassing! And wait, as if that wasn't enough, it gets WORSE!
33 percent didn't use soap, and 10 percent didn't wash their hands at all. Men were less likely than women to clean their hands, but when they did, only 50 percent used soap (compared to 78 percent of women)! Ugh, I believe it! You don't even want to know the horror stories my brother-in-law, who works in a mall, has told me about what he's witnessed in the public men's bathrooms there. In public men's bathrooms in RESTAURANTS there. Ew, ew, ewww!
Some more interesting but repulsive factoids: If the sink was dirty, it actually turned people OFF of washing their hands. (Wouldn't you feel more inclined to get in there and get clean if you'd just used a nasty restroom? Guess not! And people were more likely to wash their hands earlier in the day. (Because at night, maybe they were ...drunk and lazy? Ha.) And as it turns out, signs encouraging handwashing work -- making people more inclined to do so.
Granted, this was entirely observed in public restrooms in a college town, so these stats may not be representative of the general population. Especially considering that previous research actually shows most people are, well, better at washing their hands properly ... But still, given that negligent handwashing is the culprit behind nearly 50 percent of all foodborne illness outbreaks according to the CDC, this study is troubling to say the least.
So, in case you needed a refresher course ... or just wanted to be sure you were doing it right: The study notes that you have to vigorously wash with SOAP and water for 15 to 20 seconds to effectively kill germs. 6 seconds (the average) isn't sufficient. But geeze, after reading this study, you'd have to wonder if doing anything beats nothing at all. Shudder.
Be honest: Do you wash your hands properly?
I try, but at work in the bathrooms we only have cold water... Half of the time no soap... its really gross... I work third shift maintenance... and when I clean the bathrooms everything is stocked... and I cant tell you how many people dont wash their hands... its HORRIBLE...!
Ugh, that's just gross. I am a big time hand washer, can't stand not washing them after using the restroom, touching door knobs in public places, etc. Yuck!
I wash my hands properly, and I can tolerate really hot water so I sanitize! ;)
Did you know if you rub your dry, dirty hands together for 15-20 minutes you kill just as many bacteria as washing with soap and water?
For 15 to 20 minutes or seconds?
Quoting DBone_Holmes:

Good: Washington shot 35 percent. Defense has derailed the Beavers this season, so holding the Huskies 10 points below their field goal percentage is heartening.
Bad: The Huskies shot 36 percent at Oregon on Thursday night, so they didn't come in blazing. And Washington grabbed 16 of its misses, many at key times in the game. OSU is now 6-1 when holding opponents below 40 percent.
Good: The Angus Brandt revival. After reaching double figures just once in his last eight games, Brandt had 10 of his 12 points in the second half, prompting OSU coach Craig Robinson to say, "Angus Brandt was our run, almost on his own.'' Brandt also took a couple of charges from Tony Wroten to help keep the Huskies star off his game.
Bad: Outside of Brandt (6 of 9) and Devon Collier (6 of 8), the Beavers shot 14 of 46 (30 percent).
Good: Eric Moreland was practically radioactive he was so energetic - flying around, blocking shots here, goaltending there. He finished with 5 blocks and 9 rebounds (after going 15 minutes without a rebound against Washington State) and his hands were always around the top of the square on the backboard.
Bad: As Brandt, Collier and Moreland reappeared, Joe Burton slipped further into the shadows. He went scoreless for the second straight game and played just 8 minutes. In the three games (Colorado, Wazzu, Washington) sandwiching his 6-steal performance against Utah, Burton has this line: 50 minutes, 4 points, 3 shots.
Good: Robinson's three-guard approach, which put Burton on the bench, seemed to work. Challe Barton got into some quick foul trouble, and Roberto Nelson appeared out of sync, but the Beavers neutralized the Huskies' speed.
Bad: Robinson loves Barton's defense and Nelson's offense, but the performance of those third guards (0 for 7 in 34 minutes) raises the question of whether the Beavers have enough guard depth right now to pull off the strategy.
Good: Ahmad Starks hit two huge three-pointers in the final 2:12, drawing the Beavers to within two points each time. He also had a career-high 7 rebounds along with 4 assists, 3 steals and just 1 turnover.
Bad: Since making 5 of 8 threes in the Jan. 5 win over California, Starks has made 17 of 64 (27 percent). Starks ranks first in the Pac-12 in three-point attempts, ninth in three-point percentage.
Good: Oregon State made its last 9 free throws of the game.
Bad: The Beavers made just 7 of their first 17 foul shots.
Good: The Beavers have played well against good teams. They beat Cal and Oregon, took Arizona to overtime and gave Washington all it could handle - all those teams are first or second in the Pac-12 standings. This bodes well for a possible strong showing in Los Angeles come tournament time.
Bad: With the regular-season title out of reach, the Beavers can't have a Pac-12 tournament title as their only goal now - especially considering they have pretty much played themselves out of a first-round bye. As Robinson said, "The way we play going forward will affect the tournament.''
Onto the links ...
The box score, some notes and what Robinson, Eric Moreland and Angus Brandt had to say after the game.
Oregon State embraced its spoiler role and nearly knocked the Huskies out of first place.
Robinson was in good spirits after this effort, despite the result.
The Beavers slip to No. 9 in the Pac-12 power rankings, sprawled atop the scrap heap that is Arizona State/Utah/USC (although ASU did beat them).
Steve Kelley says Terrence Ross (21 points, 13 rebounds vs. OSU) is the Huskies' go-to guy. Without the Jefferson High School product, the Huskies would not have escaped Gill Coliseum with a win.
Washington had to grind one out in Corvallis, and that's what C.J. Wilcox and the Huskies did.
It was not hearing Mike Stone's voice at Gill on Sunday, but he had a pretty good excuse for his absence.
The baseball Beavers get another lofty preseason ranking, this time from Perfect Game.

UPDATE | Suspect in string of Bainbridge burglaries has long criminal history
Fingerprints, DNA from a blood sample, witness reports and recovered stolen jewelry led Bainbridge Island police to a suspect in the recent string of burglaries on the island.
Bainbridge police said Wednesday that an arrest warrant has been issued for Jason Michael Lucas, 34.
At a press conference Wednesday, Bainbridge Island Police Chief Matthew Hamner said police believe Lucas was the intruder who burglarized more than two dozen homes on Bainbridge Island this spring. Many of the homes that were burglarized were located near public gathering spots on, such as parks and schools.
Police do not believe Lucas is still in Kitsap County.
Bainbridge Police Detective Scott Weiss said that police believe Lucas left Kitsap County in June, shortly after a police sketch that showed him as a suspect in the crimes was released to the public.
Weiss said that just one more burglary occurred after the sketch was published.
The U.S. Marshals Service in Seattle has been asked to take on the search for the alleged burglar, and a nationwide extradition warrant has been issued for his arrest.
"They're going to be searching for this individual, and take him into custody no matter where he's at in the United States," Weiss said.
"He'll be detained at the border if he tries to cross any borders."
Weiss said police think Lucas is responsible for 25 burglaries, with 24 of the break-ins on Bainbridge.
Weiss said 10 of the burglaries with the strongest amount of evidence were forwarded to the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office, and the warrant for Lucas' arrest carries a bail amount of $250,000.
The warrant itemizes four counts of residential burglary and first degree trafficking in stolen property.
Lucas, of Port Hadlock, is a convicted felon and has a history of burglary, according to earlier press reports.
He has five convictions for residential burglary, two for theft in the second degree, one for theft first degree, one for trafficking in stolen property and one for possession of a stolen firearm.
He was arrested in 2009 for a string of burglaries at homes in Kingston and Hansville where more than 60 firearms were taken.
Lucas had worked at the homes as a landscaper. Police found many of the stolen guns, including some of Civil War vintage, after they received a warrant to search his brother's home in Port Hadlock after Lucas tried to sell stolen guns to undercover officers.
Lucas was arrested for those burglaries with his younger brother. He pled guilty to three counts of residential burglary, first-degree theft, possessing a stolen firearm and first-degree trafficking in stolen property, and was sentenced to 50 months in the county jail. Firearms retrieved during the investigation were also traced back to a residential burglary on Bainbridge Island.
In the recent string of burglaries, Bainbridge police said an officer found a fingerprint on the bottom of a chair in one of the burglarized homes that matched Lucas' prints.
Jewelry reported stolen in the Bainbridge burglaries was also found in pawn shops in three Washington counties, and also outside of the state.
"In this state anyways, when someone sells something at a pawn shop they have to provide [a driver's license]," Weiss said.
"And then most of them have to sign a form when they pawn something, so their signature would be there, too."
Weiss said that the value of the items stolen — combined with damage to many of the homes — totals several thousands of dollars.
Chief Hamner praised the department's officers for breaking open the case.
"These detectives also have patrol duties," Hamner noted. "I think it's absolutely remarkable the work they've been able to do with the manpower shortage."

EAST LONGMEADOW – A 17-year-old East Longmeadow resident was arrested Wednesday after threatening the 16-year-old mother of his child and two others with a knife at Heritage Park Plaza, 446 North Main St., police said.
Sgt. Patrick Manley said Miguel A. Torres, of 35 Hazelhurst Ave., has been charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, a knife, assault and battery domestic and breach of the peace while armed.
Manley said the victims were driving through the Heritage Park Plaza parking lot around 3:40 p.m. Wednesday when they spotted Torres.
The mother of the child exited the vehicle and approached him to discuss money issues. An argument ensued and Torres pinned the victim against her car by placing his forearm across her neck. The two other people in the car tried to stop Torres and he pulled out a knife and threatened them with it, police said.
Torres fled the scene and was arrested a short time later at his home. He will be arraigned in Palmer District Court later today or Friday.
