Lorraine Chow Hansen had already been deemed a woman worth watching for her role as global CMO for hydration at PepsiCo -- and then she was tapped as the new head of PepsiCo's Global Snacks Group. The chemical engineering major and musical virtuoso (she plays piano, clarinet, tenor sax and alto sax) has been with the company for less than a year, but already she's taking on a lead role in its new global structure.
While working at a chemical company, Ms. Hansen said she "fell in love" with technical marketing, leading her to pursue an MBA at Harvard where she focused on consumer marketing. "My husband would say I'm the least handy chemical engineer he knows. But it teaches you a way to think, to attack problems and get to the bottom quickly and efficiently," Ms. Hansen said of her unorthodox career trajectory.
Over the past 11 months, Ms. Hansen, a first-generation Chinese-American, has been focused on ferreting out global opportunities for brands such as Sobe and Aquafina. In May, she switched her focus to powerhouses like Lay's, Doritos and Cheetos. Snacks have become an increasingly important division for the company, forecast to overtake beverages as a percentage of overall revenue by 2016.
What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is whatever my book club is reading. We're currently reading "How We Decide" by Jonah Lehrer. More importantly, my favorite poem is "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, since it defines true success. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Give us one fact about yourself that will surprise people.
Growing up, my creative outlet was music, so I love to sing and dance. I sing in the shower and the car, and I love parties where there's dancing.
Knowing what you know now, what career advice would you have given yourself when you were starting out?
Take every opportunity to "go global" or lead a business in another country to expand your business, brand and team leadership skills.

I have been experimenting with different ways to use my favorites – peanut butter, brownies and preztels. I could just pour them in a bowl and I'd be in heaven but that wouldn't be very fun, would it? So, this weekend I came up with Peanut Butter Pretzel Ball Brownies. They are delish! It's basically a peanut butter and pretzel ball cooked in a brownie with peanut butter flavored pretzel crust. Did you catch that?!? Not just regular old pretzel crust but PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL CRUST!! You just can't go wrong with this combination! It's crunchy, sweet, salty and ooey gooey all at the same time. I couldn't just put regular pretzel crust on this recipe either. I wanted to up the peanut butter-factor so I added peanut butter to the crust too. Seriously, so good!
Peanut Butter Pretzel Ball Brownies
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup crushed Butter Pretzels
Pretzel Crust:
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/4 cups of crushed pretzels
- Brownie Mix (13×9 family size)
- eggs, water and oil needed for brownie mix

Many people I know are huge advocates of using Oil of Oregano to ward off sickness but despite their praise of the product, I have never bought a bottle in my life. Until now….
A few weeks ago we were leaving on a family vacation to Cuba at 6:20 am. Rewind to 16 hours before when we get a call from my son's school that we need to come get him because he's in the office vomiting. Now I will admit that my first thought was not "Oh no I hope he's okay" but more of a "crap we fly out first thing tomorrow morning". Not my best maternal moment but hey we all have them.
Panic mode kicks in and I debate secluding him to his room to keep the germs away from his sister, Daddy and myself. We opt for sending my daughter to my Moms for a few hours to reduce her exposure and hubby and I turn to a lot of sanitizer and clorox wipes and a whole lot of hoping and praying. My Mom drops off my daughter with a bottle of Oil of Oregano in hand and urges me to get everyone to take it. My daughter takes it down pretty well chased by some apple juice and my hubby shakes, gags and complains like I've just given him poison.
By morning my son is good to go and we're off for some fun in the sun!! There were a couple incidents of vomiting on the plane, which we let the other passengers chalk up to motion sickness, but after a quick nap, once we land in Cuba his colour has returned and he can't wait to swim and have fun.
Well the fun ended for some pretty quickly. My husband got sick our first night and my daughter the next afternoon. Now we were traveling with my daughters BFF and her family. By the 3rd day they went down with the stomach flu one by one. In the end, 7 out of the 8 of us ended up with a brutal stomach flu while on vacation! Not what we envisioned but it was what it was. Who was the 1 out of 8 that didn't get sick you ask? Well that would be me!! Like all good children, I listened to my Mom and took the Oil of oregano about 5 times a day. I was surrounded by the germs and sickness everywhere I turned! I honestly think there is no other reason why I didn't catch it other than my new found obsession with Oil of Oregano! So I say thank you Oil of Oregano (and Mom) for saving my vacation!!
Now i'm not going to say that this stuff tastes great because truly it does not BUT it works!! For kids (or husbands) make sure you have a chaser of juice to help them avoid the burning after you take it but I honestly have to say that this is the my new fave thing to ward off illness this season!!

Posts Tagged 'State Conventions'
On Partnering with State Conventions and Incorporating the Millennial Generation
Recently I had the privilege of meeting with the executive directors of the Midwest Region State Conventions. I presented on how, together, we might best serve the churches in our region. After my presentation we enjoyed a robust dialog about how we might best accomplish these shared goals.
As I prepared for our time together, I was reminded of how similar our ministries are, and how many of our challenges and opportunities are common to us both. I was also reminded of how our constituency is one and the same—Southern Baptist churches.
Thus, I spoke not about what they should do, but what we should do, and how, together, we can best serve in the years ahead and most effectively incorporate the millennial generation. Here are the high points of what I shared. Read more

A transistor is a semiconductor with a solid and non-moving part to pass a charge. It can amplify and switch electrical power and electronic signals. Transistors are made of semiconductor material with three or more terminals used to connect to an external circuit. By applying a current or a voltage to one of the pairs of the terminals, there is a change in current through another pair of terminals. Transistors can amplify a signal because output power can be higher than input power.
There are many different kinds of general purpose transistors and at Future Electronics we stock many of the most common types categorized by Polarity, Total Power Dissipation, Collector Current @ 100C, Packaging type and Maximum CE Voltage. The parametric filters on our website can help refine your search results depending on the required specifications.
The most common sizes for Maximum CE Voltage are 40 V, 45 V and 60 V. We also carry general purpose transistors with Maximum CE Voltage as high as 800 V. Total Power Dissipation can be between 0.5 mW and 250 W, with the most common general purpose transistors having a Total Power Dissipation of 625 mW.
Future Electronics has a full selection of general purpose transistors of several types when looking for a high power transistor, high voltage transistor, electronic transistor or transistor amplifier for electronics or circuits. Simply choose from the general purpose transistor technical attributes below and your search results will quickly be narrowed to match your specific general purpose transistor application needs.
We deal with Diodes Inc., Fairchild, ON Semiconductor and NXP, among other manufacturers. You can easily refine your general purpose transistor product search results by clicking your preferred general purpose transistor brand below from our list of manufacturers.
General Purpose Transistors can be used in all electronic applications including:
When you are looking for the right general purpose transistors, with the FutureElectronics.com parametric search, you can filter the results by various attributes: by Polarity (NPN, NPN/PNP, PNP), Maximum CE Voltage (6 V, 40 V, 45 V, 60 V,…) and Total Power Dissipation (from 0.5 mW to 250 W) to name a few. You will be able to find the right high voltage transistor, high power transistor, transistor amplifier or electronic transistor for circuits and electronics.
If the quantity of general purpose transistors required is less than a full reel, we offer customers many of our products in tube quantities that will avoid unneeded surplus.
In addition, Future Electronics offers clients a unique bonded inventory program that is designed to eliminate potential problems that may arise from an unpredictable supply of products containing raw metals and products with erratic or long lead times. Talk with your nearest Future Electronics branch and find out more on how you and your company can avoid possible shortages.

Today's adventure was found at the Children's Discovery Museum. I was happy that it was a Saturday instead of our usual Sunday which meant that we had more time to spend at the museum. I was sad that the Storyland exhibit was replaced by Broken? Fix It! which meant that Bennett wouldn't be able to find his favorite stuffed animal (Spot the Dog) and carry it around endlessly or build his snowmen and Avery wouldn't be able to clomp through the snow or play in Peter Rabbit's house. But at least this gave us even more time to spend in WaterWays and hang out in the ambulance.
Purchasing lunch at the cafeteria is always a little bit of a challenge since the Shwins refuse to stand calmly in line with me and so I strapped them in the double stroller which of course triggered a mini tantrum. I'm thankful that the tantrums are generally short-lived, especially the ones in public.
The real thrill of the day came after lunch when I told Avery and Bennett that we needed to start to head home, the announcement of which triggered Bennett to start running at full speed away from me. Without giving it a second thought, I chased off after him, picked him up and then looked back to where I left Avery. How silly of me to think that she would be waiting for me to come back with her brother. Instead, all I saw was a sea of people, lots of people. This was a Saturday at the Children's Museum after all.
I grabbed the stroller and carried Bennett (he refused to actually sit in the stroller) and I found myself repeatedly saying, "I lost Avery, I lost Avery" while frantically looking for my little girl. Here's to hoping I didn't freak out my boy too much. It took me approximately 1.5 minutes before locating her by the ambulance but I have to say it was a very long 1.5 minutes and I was really starting to panic. I should have known she would be by the ambulance – on the way to the museum, the ambulance was all she would talk about.
Later that night Bennett randomly asks, "Momma lost Avery?" I tried to turn this into a lesson of not running away from me but he immediately started to cry and so I made sure to reassure him it wasn't his fault.
Grateful that I found her, grateful that nothing terrible happened, and remembering to give my babies big hugs every chance I get.

Financial systems
Developing new financial services for poor people, especially women, is a way to avoid expensive and uncertain options for saving or sending money. In this way, the poor are also included in the formal economy, can more easily manage economic crises and eventually build their prosperity.
Financial system is a broad term that encompasses everything from functioning stock markets to new financial services ("inclusive finance") for the poor. In many countries, cash has been the only means of payment for large groups of the society, which includes both the high costs and risky management. Few have been able to save and send money safely, and financial institutions have traditionally not considered poor people as a potential or a profitable customer base.
Lack of credits is traditionally considered to be the most limiting factor for small businesses, which are generally regarded as poor countries' engine for growth and primary source for new jobs.
The fact that even poor people have different economic relationships and utilise a variety of channels already today suggests that these services should be formalised, and therewith also cheaper and safer.
The steadily increasing use of mobile phones and other new technologies has made a big difference for small business owners and individuals. Today, many are able to make financial transactions using a mobile phone. Sida has supported a part of that development, as well as other successful solutions such as smart cards.
One such example is the Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Programme in Kenya, where Sida's support helped more low-income people have access to various financial services such as money transfers to home countries (remittances), savings, insurances and loans.
Different types of financial institutions, offering entrepreneurs a variety of usually small scale financial services, has made it easier for many small business owners to, for example, get access to capital in order to start or grow a business, and therewith also create jobs. Sida was early involved this process. Today, many of the market actors, including commercial banks, have become aware of this potential and have embarked on entering new markets. Sida's support thus becomes more focused on removing obstacles to this development and tries to make sure that the markets become inclusive by e.g. tailoring products they offer to customers' actual needs. This has not always been the case, which may partly explain the crises that occurred in different places. One of the challenges is to ensure that regulation and monitoring are at such a level that good enough control can be established without strangling the market forces.
Other examples of efforts that Sida funds are CGAP – a knowledge generating think tank within "Inclusive Finance", and Women's World Banking. Through their network of various financial institutions around the world, they focus precisely on women's access to these services.
Financial stability – a prerequisite for lasting poverty alleviation
Research shows that many people are at risk of falling below the poverty line in the event of a financial crisis and it is the poor who have been the most vulnerable for not being able to protect themselves. It takes a long time to recover from such shocks, although it is in fact many more individuals that are affected and fall below the borderline than what is usually reported. There is thus a strong incentive to try and counteract financial crises, and Sida supports, among others, the Toronto Centre (www.torontocentre.org) - a training centre for central banks and our Swedish Riksbank. Their staff is available in a number of partner countries to assist with their own experiences in order to ensure financial stability.

Peter Coyote Transferred to SF State for the Weather, Then Became Icon
Friday, October 24, 2014
MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY -- He's performed admirably in films, stage and TV roles (and lots of voice-over narration), including Pedro AlmodOvar's "Kika," "Law and Order" and Ken Burns' "The National Parks." But there's more to him than the camera suggests. The longtime Bay Area resident was born Rachmil Pinchus Ben Mosha Cohon in New York City in 1941, but was inspired by a peyote hallucination, and medicine man Rolling Thunder, to change his name. Thus, Peter Coyote was reborn. Why did you leave the Iowa Writer's Workshop for San Francisco State University? "It was 20-degrees below zero for three weeks. I thought I was going to kill myself."

Adobe to Open Flash Platform Messaging Protocol
Publishing RTMP Advances Open Screen Project
SAN JOSE, Calif. Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced plans to publish the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) specification, which is designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe® Flash® Platform technologies. Providing developers and companies open and free access to RTMP is the latest advancement of the Open Screen Project, an industry-wide initiative to enable the delivery of rich multi-screen experiences built on a consistent runtime environment for Web browsing and standalone applications across personal computers, mobile devices, and consumer electronics.
The RTMP specification is expected to be posted on the Adobe Developer Connection (www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp ) in the first half of 2009.
With the RTMP specification, developers and companies will be able to provide users with optimized audio, video and data streaming, no matter what kind of device the user is on or where the content is coming from, said Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch. Our ongoing commitment to openness is accelerating adoption of the Flash Platform by developers and resulting in a new generation of Web applications, content and video experiences that run reliably across operating systems and devices.
RTMP provides an enhanced and efficient way to deliver rich content. Developers and companies will have free and open access to the documented RTMP specification to help enable unparalleled delivery of video, audio and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player.
To benefit customers who want to protect their content, the open RTMP specification will not include Adobes unique secure RTMP measures, nor will the license that accompanies the specification allow developers to circumvent such measures. However, developers will be free to use their own technological measures to secure content. The RTMP specification does not provide any requirement or restrictions on a developers own measures to secure content.
The Open Screen Project is an initiative with 20 major industry partners who are working together to provide a consistent runtime environment for Web browsing and standalone applications taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe® AIR. This consistent runtime environment will remove barriers to publishing Web content and rich applications across desktops, mobile phones, televisions, and other consumer electronics.
The Adobe Flash Platform is the de facto standard for delivering breakthrough applications, content and video on the Web. Adobe Flash Player is on over 98 percent of connected computers and delivers more than 80 percent of Web video worldwide, ensuring that content and applications are presented consistently in the format users want. For more information on the Adobe Flash Platform, please visit www.adobe.com/flashplatform . For more information on the Open Screen Project, please visit: www.openscreenproject.org

|The knight and the princess in their
Christmas garb
Ok, I think I'm onto something. Point 1: We go out to eat maybe once a month. Maybe every six weeks? Anyway, it's not too often. And we never go just because I haven't cooked dinner, ha! But I love to go out to eat... Point 2: My 30th (!!!!) birthday is in a month, and I've been thinking about what's on my wish list. I have a hard time with wish lists because I'm really more of an experience girl than a gifts girl. Oh, I like gifts, don't get me wrong, but most of the stuff I would really want would be in the $200+ range. heh heh... (like, a Kindle Fire or an iPad, a robotic vacuum cleaner [not kidding], a Silhouette, etc.) Not exactly in the budget.
So, I requested this year that instead of gifts, we take the money budgeted for my birthday and go out to eat a few times this month, whenever/wherever I want to go. Doesn't that sound fun??? So I can totally say, "I don't feel like cooking tonight. Let's just get a pizza." Ok, maybe I'm too simple-minded, but that excites me. ;-) Especially since cooking has been really not appealing to me lately. (have I mentioned that already...?)
And, of course, I used my first night. Tonight. After all the cooking from Christmas, and all the Christmas recovery cleaning today, I did not want to cook. So we went out. And now I'm full and my kitchen is still clean. Win win.
As for the rest of the week, here is my plan. I'd wager that our budget isn't the only one that's gone for the month! So we are doing simple, frugal meals with stuff I already have in my pantry. And Friday we have family plans, so I don't have to worry about that night either! So really I only have to worry about three nights this week. That feels like cheating....
Tuesday - Biscuits and Sausage Gravy, Fruit
Wednesday - Chicken Taco Soup, Cornbread
Thursday - Nachos, Chips, Salsa
Who else is getting back on the diet bandwagon in January?? I know I am! (even if I'm pregnant!) I'll be looking for some new, yummy, low-carb recipes. Stay tuned. :-)

Last night, alleged comedian and Obama hack Jon Stewart rolled out the red carpet for new Obama sycophant New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Suddenly, it turns out, Stewart loves how Christie handles crisis: "Once you remove political and partisan gamesmanship from a situation performance improves dramatically." Christie, said Stewart, "kicked crazy ass."
Last year, however, Stewart called Christie an "idiot." This year, he called him a "loud Italian guy" after Christie vetoed a gay marriage bill from the legislature. Why, it's almost as though Stewart's opinions of politicians change drastically depending on just how much they kiss crazy ass.

It has been insanely busy in this house. On top of all we have had to do, we have also all been sick. Bubby is on his third day out of school. We are all miserable.
I have also been working with a wonderful lady on a new blog design. It's almost done, and I can't wait until it's ready to launch. I'm a big fan of simple and clean, and that is just what this design will be. We are working out the last small details and then it will go live. If you are looking for a new design for your blog, I completely recommend Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Designs!
One of the things that I have been working on is a fundraiser for a fire family. This wife and two young children lost their firefighter husband and father in a tragic accident. They are from a neighboring community. He was a volunteer just like 374. A friend and I are holding a gift wrapping booth at our local church this Sunday. We are taking free will donations for the gift wrapping. All the money we raise this weekend will go to his wife and children.
When I first heard of this story, I was in tears. It hit me, and it hit me hard. I understood that I empathized with this wife because we share the same lifestyle, but I never expected to feel THAT much emotion over it. I immediately knew that I wanted to do SOMETHING. What that something was I wasn't sure.
After bouncing ideas off of my friend and fellow fire wife, we decided on the gift wrapping event. I'm hoping the event will be a huge success. I know any donation we can make to the family will be appreciated, but I would really like to be able to make a difference. I will be taking some pictures on Sunday, I can't wait to share them here with you!

Federal law stipulates that landlords cannot discriminate based on gender, disability, family status, race and religion, according to Nolo. Tenants also have the right to privacy and notice when a landlord needs to make repairs or show the property to purchasers or prospective tenants.Continue Reading
Some tenant rights vary by state. For example, Illinois tenants are protected by the Residential Tenants' Right to Repair Act, which stipulates that renters are allowed to deduct costs of repairs they have to make personally from the cost of their rent, according to the Lawyers' Committee for Better Housing. In many states, landlords are required by law to fix major problems in a timely manner, such as malfunctioning plumbing, heating and electrical problems as well as safety hazards such as damaged floors, roofs and stairways.
Tenants also have rights with eviction proceedings, according to Nolo. For example, a landlord cannot evict tenants without following procedures outlined by state law that typically require written notice when rental payments are not received. In most states, a landlord must file a lawsuit and win a judgment to legally evict a tenant. The tenant has the right to defense in a court of law regarding unfair practices or justifications for late payments or non-payments. For a landlord to evict a tenant, the courts must determine that the tenant did something wrong that justifies termination of the lease.Learn more about Real Estate

Quick Reference
(1874–1954) Swedish oceanographer
Ekman, the son of an oceanographer, was born in the Swedish capital of Stockholm and educated at the University of Uppsala, graduating in 1902. He worked at the International Laboratory for Oceanographic Research in Oslo (1902–08) before he moved to Lund, Sweden, as a lecturer in mathematical physics, being made a professor in 1910.
In 1905 Ekman published a fundamental paper, On the Influence of the Earth's Rotation on Ocean Currents. This work originated from an observation made by the explorer Fridtjof Nansen that in the Arctic drift ice did not follow wind direction but deviated to the right. He showed that the motion, since known as the Ekman spiral, is produced as a complex interaction between the force of the wind on the water surface, the deflecting force due to the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force), and the frictional forces within the water layers.
Ekman also studied the phenomenon of dead water, a thin layer of fresh water from melting ice spreading over the sea, which could halt slow-moving ships. This, he established, resulted from the waves formed between water layers of different densities. The Ekman current meter, invented by him, is still in use.

And now comes the best part of Christmas – quiet moments of peace and reflection, time to ponder the blessings in life and to offer silent thanks for each and all of them. Thanks for friends near and far, for the gift of having someone to hold close, for sunrises and sunsets, for health, and for smiles from sometimes unexpected sources. For the beauty of the earth, for talents, and the support to try to improve upon them, for warmth – inside and out. For peace of heart. For promises kept. For light, and hope – and dreams.
May your own Holidays bring you ample time and opportunity to appreciate all you have and those around you. May the silent night give you new hope and refresh your soul. May the warm glow of a fire bring warmth to your heart. And may the promise of this day and of the new year about to dawn bring you hope and opportunity, health and happiness – and a special peace that will linger long beyond the holidays.
To all of you who take the time to stop and read these words from time-to-time, please know how grateful I am for the time you choose to spend here. I truly hope that your own holidays find you warm and happy, that you allow your inner child to emerge, and that each of you is blessed with a quiet moment or two to reflect and appreciate – and to hope and dream in childlike wonder.
Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Happy New Year. Thank you.

Variant of the original "Nigerian Price" scam. Their denied inheritance, your account to act as a middle man, you get a large cut. Scam.
"As straight as a die"
I've always had an interest in sayings, proverbs, and the like. Most from different countries tend to be rather similar but every now and then you find something special. Not to say the above is, but it reminded me of a saying in some part of Africa, "You fall in love with your rapist." Isn't that keen?
It was primarily the idioms in this thing that interested me also. Keen? puleese.
my ex used to be the first in the usa to receive freshly translated electronic service manuals...from japanese into english. he would then rewrite the manual so it made since to service techs dealing with electronic repair in the usa. for the instructions to ground something, the translation from japanese into english was "take to earth". i know they were talking electricity, but i took this forlorn translation and used it as my creed for quite awhile.
In Rwanda there is a saying that goes like this:
In a court of fowls, the cockroach never wins his case.
The rapist might be a cockroach, (he he)
A weekend without eMule...
I thought it just shut off as soon as it saw me back. What an ego.
"A weekend without eMule..."
And I thought somthing was wrong with my pc?!?!?! At least two things are good to know:
1. I was mistaken
2. Emule is back!
I get to wondering
what a paper mache world we live in.
Al Gore, the Nobel Prize for peace.
I would prefer the honesty of my friend,
the fireflier, with whom I disagree on almost everything,
to the mish mash of Tipper Gore's husband
standing as the the ultimate symbol
of what 'peace' means in our time.
I concur.
It's not so much what peace means as what it says about the Nobel Prize.
It says to me that those who once invested themselves in actually seeking knowledge and exploring what happens in the world now find it much easier to see what's playing at the movies as their guide to world events.
Surely there are hundreds of people on the planet that have made great efforts and real sacrifices toward peace in whatever place they are living. But just as surely no one took the time to either notice or report it. I would prefer to have heard about one of those unknown heroes.
The Nobel Peace Prize, like a grand jury indictment, could just as well be given to a ham sandwich.
K.Q. says she is having trouble signing on to eMule right now.
It may be a local thing, because I just got on, but it is odd that only one person has anything dated 10-14-07 on the list.
While on the subjuect, I have never tried to figure out where this server is. It appears to be 6 hours from EDT according to my clock, which puts it somwhere in the Pacific.
5 for me.
While on the subjuect, I have never tried to figure out where this server is. It appears to be 6 hours from EDT according to my clock, which puts it somwhere in the Pacific.
The server is in Georgia, Steevo. GMT or London Time is the default setting for theforum, but you can change it by going to "my control center", then scanning down to "option" and clicking on "Forum Settings" which will show a time box on the upper right of your screen which can be changed to any time zone you wish. Then magically all times on the posts you read will reflect the time that they were posted in your time zone.

Well, at last I am back and hopefully functioning. For the past days I was receiving a message that said server error. I am not sure what that means but am glad to be back today and hopefully tomorrow too!!
Thanks, Peter.
Has Keeper ever come back? I miss her and many others too, but her in particular!
Khalida, the server was off for a time last weekend, not a problem on your end of the net.

I have an inferiority complex.
But it's not a very good one.

More wit than wisdom here: [www.fortogden.com]
I wont drown. How these words came about.
I typed in the word Kris and went back to the first time
I knew it referred to that English poet.
I went looking for you and I found myself.
I took the direct route, line for line,
And came to the commentator pointing back to the poem.
He said he didnt think he could go that far
And come back with what I brought to him.
That was the first time I doubted what he said.
He writes the most lyric narratives and can swear up a blue streak.
I have heard him say, Goodbye, I wont be back, half a dozen times,
Or something like, or, I think Ill take up knitting when his poems were rejected
By some fool sitting behind some editors desk of some magazine
That routinely publishes second-rate poetry when he has never written
A second-rate poem in his life so why should I believe in knitting?
Just thinking about my poet-friend who I have never met,
Will never meet, cause he lives on the other side of the pond
And I cant swim makes my head swim. But thats alright.
I wont drown.
I think you've got it.
This one struck a note for me while researching some other stuff. No, not that Dylan, this Dylan.
In My Craft or Sullen Art
--Dylan Thomas
In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.
Not for the proud man apart
From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/21/2007 02:23AM by les712.
I read a book in 1963 titled The Craft or Sullen Art. It was a collection of essays on modern poets, Thomas among others. It was the book that lead me to his fine poems. Thanks for the reminder.
I thought, since I live in the United States I should take the opportunity to wish each of you a happy Thanksgiving wherever you live. For me it has always been a chance to celebrate the human family, so I hope you will take the day to enjoy whomever you get to spend the day with.
Thanks Peter, and a happy holiday season to you and to all who frequent E-mule.
I ran across this poem in an anthology here at e-mule. It's by Louis Doudek, a Canadian poet of the last century.
For you, you
For you, you, whoever, wherever you are
in time to come, in a year or in fifty
who have grabbed me, found me on the cluttered bookstall
and gone, book clutched in your hand, or stuffed in pocket,
to the near café or steaming snack bar
and over the pie and coffee opened up the pages
for you, quiet girl, young man,
in the youth of your life, who read some pieces
then turn to your own thoughts, your emotions
and write your eight lines, or fifty
yes! yes! I would arouse in you
the spectral nerve
sweet as sex, for this craft
its breath of life wafted out and recorded
that it may be such a stir one time, for you
To all,
It is seldom that I am able log onto eMule so I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all the best this Holiday Season.
Good to see you posting again, John. Best wishes to you and your family during the holidays and throughout the new year.
I missed you, man. Hope all is well with you and your family. Have a great holiday and I hope to see you posting again real soon.
HAppy holidays to you too John, and to all emulers!
Love, Khalida
uh can't we get this to 100 already. Ha this forever long wait for the 100th post. I tell you.
Thinking about all of you. Can't seem to delve into poetry too much these days and wishing I could, if for no other reason, to spend time amongst you. Please know, however, that I still cherrish e-mule and all of you. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful child, Mary. Merry Christmas and a blessed new year to you and your loved ones.
My goodness Marty, she looks just like you! Well, at least I assume so! :0)
Keep on dancing around that mulberry bush Marty and the poetry will come a callin' or you could just blame it on Terry for not being around right now. lol.
Merry Christmas.
Cute grandchild, Marty. Merry Christmas to you, and all the e-mulers
Only in L.A. ...[www.modbee.com] />
I watched "An Unreasonable Man" tonight and was pleased tolearnmore about Ralph Nader. It thought it worth seeing for those who support his positions and those who might be discontent with him. It will be on IndependentLens on PBS again sometime in January.
I watched the movie "The Notebook" tonight and it has to be one of the best love stories I've ever seen. Jack, it's got the Good-Bye girl beat by miles. I highly recommend it to anybody who hasn't seen it yet.
Computer Question...... a dah! moment.
By the way you guys, I got a new computer before Christmas! Anyway, it's got the dreaded VISTA operating system. Like everybody else, there are things I don't like about that.
The problem is that now when I'm on e-mule....or other places, I only have the browser up at the top and not the bar with File, Tools, Edit....etc. so when I want to copy and paste parts of a poem to comment, I can't.
I'm sure it's there somewhere, but how do I find it or get it to come up???
See message below.
Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 01/04/2008 04:27AM by les712.
Marty, try right clicking on something you wish to copy and see if a menu pops up. If that doesn't work a couple of things come to mind immediately:
One: Call the support number from your computers "Start" menu.
Two: Go here and download Firefox, it's faster, easier to use and has far fewer bugs: [www.mozilla.com] />
Thanks much, Les. I think I've tried right clicking, to no avail. I've also used Firefox in the past and may try that as well. Although maybe replacing VISTA with Windows XP will be the ultimate solution. I just thought maybe the tool bar is simply hidden somewhere and it's only a matter of finding it. Again, thanks for you willingness to help.
Marty, on my newest version of Internet Explorer, which I never use, the bar is also hidden. There is a "tools" icon on the right hand side of the search bar which looks like a gear icon. Click on that and see if there is something called "menu bar". If there is click that, and the commands, "file", "edit", "view", "favorites", "tools" and "help" should appear. If you can't find an icon for "tools" call the help number.
I've hear that Vista is more stable than XP, so I would remove it only at the advice of a Microsoft rep. since the operating system runs all the other systems on your computer. You can use any browser you like, but replacing the operating system is a major move which I would not recommend.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/04/2008 12:36PM by les712.
Well, if the hardware isn't dependent on vista to run, swapping operating systems would only cost you the software (programs) reliant on vista. That would be as simple as wiping the hard drive or getting a new one and installing XP. Hard drives are cheap and I assume you have your old copy of XP. But hell if I know, just an unfounded idea.
Ask an expert. And I wouldn't use the computer's help channels, those poor bastards have to deal with so many hopeless people every day that it's wonder they don't get hazard pay. Likely a small local business computer shop around somewhere.
And don't post pictures of kids on internet public areas. Ever. To say it's a bad idea is to say the sun is hot.
Thank you, Les. I would think that the basic function of copying and pasting has just got to be available. I'll try some of your suggestions.
Mr. P, Percival I presume, hi by the way....I have thought about there being reasons why not to post pictures of kids on the internet, but I would be interested to hear what you think they are.
Aha Les! That worked. It is, indeed, the gear looking thing on the far right. Thanks again.
Pedophiles. While this isn't a hotbed of nefarious activity, it is the internet. And there aren't as many borders here as people like to think. It's also very simple to get someone's home address with little information and manipulation. The problem may seem remote, but I assure you it's not. All in all, why take the risk?
I am one of those people who believes that locks only keep the honest people out. I don't laugh in the face of danger, but also don't let fear of evil be my guide.
In the case of pedophiles, I believe statistics show that something like 2%, or less, go after strangers. Statistics show that crimes against children, in general, the greatest percentage of time are perpetrated not only by someone the child knows, but someone related to them.
It is my feeling that letting a child visit a neighbor unattended, dropping them off for bible school or cub scouts, or even allowing a dear family friend, boyfriend, or step-parent to babysit poses a greater risk than posting a picture on the internet. Having pictures of a child around the house when a repairman or contractor is doing work for you poses the same, if not greater, risk.
Pictures of children from all of our local schools are printed weekly in our newspaper's "Student of the Week" column with their full names and ages captioned below them. If you go to "MY Space", you will find a multitude of family pics on people's profiles.
Is there a possibility that some bastard will target a child to bring them harm? Always. Internet or no internet. With all that said, my grandaughter means the world to me and I would protect her life with my own, as would her father, mother, uncles, or any of the very few others we place in her charge. We have a custom knife maker and several hunters in the family, so if you or anybody else who visits e-mule gets the idea of bringing harm to her, know that she is not an easy target.
And I'm pretty sure that for as long as Terry is with us here, he would love nothing more than the challenge of hunting you down as well.
With all of this said, I appreciate your concerns, Percival. And as I believe that paying too much attention or challenging evil can sometimes feed its insatiable hunger, I may, sadly, very well heed your advice.
Warm regards,
Relax. You seem to have taken advice as a threat.
I assume you're defensive at the idea of my implying you intentionally endangered your grandchild? Not so. I had assumed you were not as familiar as I am with the environment. I was trying to help. I grew up with the internet, I keep company with the same types of people. I know more about it.
Now, this is the important bit, I did not warn you about emule, I warned you about posting pictures on the net in general. There is as much bad on the internet as good. Think about what that means. The entire world capable of exchanging information at a rate previous incomprehensible. And anonymously. Previously isolated groups of deviants now capable of gathering in relative safety. These deviants, shunned from society, become proficient in their seclusion. Their community is the internet. Their livings are made on the internet. Their lives are the internet. With enough knowledge of how the system works, no amount of physical threat can reach a competent expert.
Now, however you perceive this advice is out of my hands. But I've given it. As a side note, try megan's list. Just google it. It's a government run website that tracks convicted pedophiles. Type in your zipcode and they'll give you a list of known pedophiles living in your area or any other for that matter.
I agree somewhat with Percival on this. Keep this fact in mind, everything you have ever written on the web and many things about you that you did not write are accessible to millions upon millions of people on the web. If I could cut and paste a photo for Gouwerijn who lives in the Netherlands on my post, other people could do that also. Sick people don't need much encouragement, I think Percival is just giving you a heads up here, which to me makes some sense.

And a note on how helpless the people who attempt to prevent these things are. A recently tracked pedophile nicknamed "swirlface" was caught, not by the people who's job it is to catch them, but by a few netizens familiar with the most basic of computer functions.
Now, the pedophile in question was named "swirlface" because in his photographs he would use a very basic option in MS Paint. That option was "swirl", it swirls a section of a picture, basically making that section look like a whirlpool, thus making the original area imperceivable. He swirled his face. Now, that seems like a problem, doesn't it? Well, it was for the people who were supposed to catch him. It was a problem because they were incompetent. They'd known about him for quite some time, tried quite a few things to catch him. Had plenty of swirly pictures. They were getting no where.
Miracle of miracles, someone who's actually touched a computer, who has nothing to do with the people charged with catching pedophiles, sees the picture and simply goes into MS Paint and uses the "UNswirl" option on the picture. Pedophile caught.
Percival and Les, I hear you both.
My cackles do go up at the thought of anything happening to my loved ones. And I would find it difficult to forgive myself if I played party to it in any way. I didn't take your advice as a threat, but simply felt threatened by the notion. Thanks for the info. As you say, there are folks who spend their waking moments plotting to do no good. It is foolish to help them along in any way, but it is also wrong for good people, the majority I think, to live in constant fear of them and prevent us from sharing our lives with one another. It's a sad state of affairs.
I'm aware of the sex offender register and have checked it myself a time or two. These people are everywhere. And if someone didn't know the area where I live, they do now.
Keep this fact in mind, everything you have ever written on the web and many things about you that you did not write are accessible to millions upon millions of people on the web.
This isn't the first time you've explained this to me and I guess I don't listen very well. I tend to be too open with others, in general, and do forget that e-mule doesn't have walls. It's the only site I visit where I chat with people and I forget it doesn't mean that what I say or post here stays here.
Thanks to both of you for the warning. I'll try to be more mindful.
Emmm. Now, you know I can't just let you off when I have such a perfect chance to toy with you, Marty. I have yet to receive and apology for this precious little snippet, "love nothing more than the challenge of hunting you down." Emmmmm?
Percival......"you" as being anybody. smooch.
Then I will consider you in my debt =]
I tend to be too open with others, in general, and do forget that e-mule doesn't have walls.
When I was teaching, the first thing we explained to students about the internet was that what they say on the web doesn't necessarily stay on the web.

I understand that I cry too easily, and yet, the tears I feel on my face reading the gentleness and concern emulers express toward each other's conditions makes my happy for the moment that I am a human being.
Your last comment is as poetic as anything you've ever written.
I agree with Joe and you, Peter. I cried too.
A contentious issue, and of course we should be careful. I'm in the process of designing a website for my son, but I'll be fucked if I'm not going to allow him a section of photos, him in his Judo suit etc, pics he's proud of, because of the possibility some perv may get off on it.
I think the issue here is how protect out Kids from dangerous communication, the chat rooms and programs, it's that delicate balance of invading our Kids lives and keeping an eye out for them. Personally I say to mine - use your common sense, obviously NEVER EVER meet anyone you don't actually know in person, etc etc.
I may be wrong, but I think it's vulnerable kids on the whole, kids who lack a connection and a basic communication with their parents that are mostly at risk. Kids who are open to outside affection who perhaps need it and so inevitably are easily taken in by these sly sickos. Sad but true I think.

My, my! A good point by Camus!
What I've learned from my time on the net (quite a bit of time) is that the nefarious elements are prevalent everywhere on the net. This is, after all, their home. And one can come and go very easily without being noticed, as I said, there aren't as many walls. Not nearly as many. What you may easily perceive as a dangerous person in real life can mask their personalities and true intentions very easily.
And keep in mind that there are sections of the net none of you are familiar with. What you may think are the youth communities on the net are in fact not. Take Youtube and Myspace for example. While you've only recently heard about them and had little time to considered their impact, they are actually commercialized versions of things that have existed since the beginning. And if you think they're dangerous, you should see the things that don't make mainstream.
All in all, remember that this is not your place. You're a visitor, only seeing the shiner bits designed specifically to take your vacation money.
Oh, and anyone with even a mild imagination can find these DARK DANGEROUS PLACCCCEESSSSSSSSSS. Boo. It may be difficult for you to find them but I assure you thats not the case for kids.
There's a bunch of programs designed for parents to monitor their kid's activities on the net without the kids knowing. Go find some.
i will be reading these poems of yous people when i get online sometimes in the near future i gots only an hours to bes on da pc b4 my time goes away and i has to sleep but i post yuos all one of my latest writings from the 07 archivals files and yes i'm being silly i don't uselee talk dis way eh

So, who of you think that Illinois's Senator Barack Obama is a hopeful for the next U.S. presidency?
Any comments a year later.....or is it too touchy of a subject?
I've always said, a woman before a black, a black before a hispanic, a hispanic before a gay, a gay before an italian
You have, have ya Johnny. How come it's the first time I've ever heard (seen) you say it?
Wall Street is banking on Hillary. Why? I don't know.
On the Republican side the money's with Giuliani.
Here's a good article about Obama: [www.newsweek.com] />
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/12/2008 04:18AM by les712.
Unfortunately, None of the candidates for President seem adequate to it. I am just afraid that the current rulers of our country have done too much damage to its constitution and to its democracy for us to recover easily. I hope everyone will remember that it is not just the leader, the President, that makes this thing work --it takes even more than a court system and the legislatures...all of whom have failed us for the last seven years on. I am sick at heart that the Precidency is occupied by someone who did not win the election, that the Supreme Court does what it is told to do by the fanatical right wing, that conscientious people are spied on by their government...the list goes much further, far beyond not believing a next elected president will be able to undo this mess.
I am not an alarmist, unfortunately. I wish the above words were just paranoia. But I am too sensible to believe in quick solutions and too naive political to be able to offer practical solutions.
No. Naming a choice between Obama and Clinton and Edwards or Romney and Thomson and Guiliani (many of these seem like off-the-deep-end wackos to me rather than alternatives for President of the United States of America) seems a futile exercise unless Americans start taking democracy and the Constitution seriously.
I am grateful that Marty brought this subject up. We are need to consider the life in which our poetry is written if we want it to be taken seriously.
But, like they say in Chicago, vote early and vote often.
I'd be curious to hear from some of those folks outside of the U.S. to see what they've heard about the upcoming elections and who'd they prefer to preside over these United States.
preside? interesting choice of words. Les.
Thanks for posting the Newsweek article, Les. It was a good read.
Obama caught my eye (and ears) from the minute he stepped up to the platform. And since I generally find it difficult to sift through all the rhetoric in a political campaign, it was good to find out that he continues to live up to my initial impression of him and has not buckled under pressure to lower his standards. I think he's a fine human being and not that he "would" make a great leader, but that he already is.
My sentiments match Peter's to the letter, although I find it very difficult to remain as calm as he seems to be.
<[www.emule.com] />
While it is true that the political party machines leave us very little from which to choose, it is, nevertheless, our obligation as free people to vote. Some choice is better than no choice. We must conscientiously use the voting franchise that was won for us more than 230 years ago and for which so many have since fought and died to maintain. That is why I will go to the polls next month to vote in the primary election, and again in November, for the candidate I think will give us the best chance to restore some of the freedoms we have permitted our current leaders to take away.

Great websites thanks for sharing these, Mitten.
Some of you might be interested in reading the text of Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech. That one and all of Dr. King's speeches are available here: [www.mlkonline.net] />
Great service you provide, Les. When I used to teach in Indiana, at Purdue, the state did not recognize MLK day, even though it was a national holiday. so, since they made the students come to school, pretending he never existed, that day I would teach one of his speeches, usually, "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Make some use of the day anyway, despite the racists in government. I am so glad to not have to deal with the bigots on that level anymore.
Yes, Les, thanks for the link. Martin Luther King even addressed the injustice in healthcare back then, which has only become more and more relevant as time has gone on. There is a quote of his I hope to find and be able to use during "Cover The Uninsured" week this Spring.
I guess this is a far more dangerous and impersonal world than I care to realize. It is apparently dangerous for me to mention that a close relative will be appearing on a television show.
We often look at things the way we see them and because I would be interested and excited to see emulers or any of emulers close relatives on television or featured in a magazine article, etc., I just assumed it would be likewise.
I would never have thought that there are hackers already in my computer just waiting to get the information that would help them hack their way into my relatives' computers and that by finding out they'll be on television, they now have exactly the information they need to do so.

Not politically incorrect. Dangerous. Should anyone be attempting to hack any of those people you just mentioned, they'd likely have your email and surfing habits in an attempt to gain more information about their actual target. You just provided them with a little bit of real name, occupation, location, and relation, the rest of which may be filled in by simply watching this show.
Again, the chance is slight, but it is there. Next time don't mention personal info is all, or at least cut back on it.
I'm not sure what you read, but I never mentioned an occupation or location. Although, as you say, they may very well ask her those things straight out on national television in front of God and everybody. They more than likely will give out the web address where her products are featured which probably has the e-mail address where she can be contacted directly. So why anybody would want to go through all the hassle of hacking into my computer so they could hack into hers when they could go straight to hers, is beyond me.
But hey, thanks once again for setting me straight. No personal information. robotics.com.
I thought I should acknowledge that the Bay Area has one less poet today. -Peter
Popular college lecturer found slain
By Harry Harris
Article Created: 02/10/2008 07:45:05 PM PST
Police said John Alfred Pierre Dennis Jr., 59, was killed in his home on Hansom Drive in the Oakland hills then driven in his car to a spot near Montara State Beach in San Mateo County
A much admired faculty member at both Saint Mary's College in Moraga and City College of San Francisco was found apparently shot to death in his car near a San Mateo County beach late Saturday, police reported.
Police said John Alfred Pierre Dennis Jr., 59, was killed in his home on Hansom Drive in the Oakland hills then driven in his car to a spot near Montara State Beach in San Mateo County by the suspect, Troy Thomas, 43, of Oakland.
Police arrested Thomas for the killing.
A San Mateo County sheriff's deputy on patrol about 11 p.m. Saturday saw the car parked and went to talk to the driver. Thomas was in the front seat and the deputy saw an arm protruding from under a blanket in the rear. It turned out to be Dennis' body under the blanket.
Oakland homicide investigators were interviewing Thomas on Sunday night and Sgt. Rick Andreotti said police were not yet sure if, or how, Thomas and Dennis knew each other.
Once it was determined who Dennis was and where he lived, Oakland police were contacted and went to his home in the 8000 block of Hansom Drive where evidence of a bloody confrontation was found. Oakland homicide investigators and police department criminalists spent much of Sunday at the house gathering evidence.
A native of Berkeley, Dennis held a Ph.D. and master's degree, both from Stanford University, and a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
He was a faculty member at CCSF since 1980 and at Saint Mary's
since the mid-1990s. He was affectionately known as "Dr. D" at both campuses.
According to the Saint Mary's Web site, Dennis was a lecturer in the School of Liberal Arts and also was the director of the school's High Potential Program, which was started in 1973. The program has enabled hundreds of students to "scale the wall" and become the first in their families or communities to graduate from college.
As part of that program, Dennis led a transition program to help prepare them for the rigors of college.
In biographical information on the CCSF Web site, Dennis wrote "students are at the heart of quality teaching. It's not about me, it's about the students. They always rise to the level of my highest expectations."
According to the CCSF site, Dennis was for 17 years a lay chaplain for Catholic Charities at the Bryant Street Jail in San Francisco, a lay "preacher" at Saint Benedict's in East Oakland, an avid journal writer, poet, liturgical dancer and an avid traveler.
A September 1968 Tribune article reported Dennis graduated from Paso Robles High School and although nominated for the United States Naval Academy in 1966, instead chose to attend UCSB where he was the highest ranking freshman in his class. Even 40 years ago he had aspirations of becoming a college instructor, the article said, as well as possibly a lawyer or state diplomat.
As a college sophomore, he was awarded a regents scholarship to study French and history at the University of Bordeaux in France. Always an outstanding student, he attended junior high in San Francisco and was a member of the San Francisco Boys Chorus. His mother was a teacher at Madison Junior High in East Oakland, the article reported.
Happy Valentine's Day:
An article from the local newspaper:
A Charleston radio station is observing Valentine's Day with a reminder that Cupid sometimes misses his mark. WKLC-FM, better known as Rock 105, is giving away a free divorce.
Valentine's Day isn't all hearts and flowers, says WKLC Program Director Jay Nunley. There is a darker side, he said, "where maybe you despise your spouse and resent the entire day."
Through 4 p.m. on Thursday, Valentine's Day, applications for the free divorce will be accepted on the classic rock station's Web site, [www.wklc.com]. The winning name will be drawn at 5 p.m.
Nunley cautions that this is a real divorce and people shouldn't enter if they aren't serious. Also, people expecting a long, drawn-out legal battle should hire a lawyer because the Rock 105 contest is for a relatively uncomplicated divorce.
Charleston attorney Rusty Webb will handle the actual filing.
"Sure we can give away concert tickets, and we do," said Nunley. "That's going to make you happy for a little while. This is the chance to make someone happy for the rest of their life."
Fitting, considering the fans of that music.
What, classic rock? You'd think they'd be used to the same old thing over and over
Literally snowed in. E-mule is quiet. Just thought I'd drop in to say hi. Hi. Tried to write a poem today, but couldn't.
Yeah, what's with that? Didn't know President's Day Weekend was such a big one.
Hi folks,
I know that some of you are chess enthusiasts, so I thought that I would share this game with you...
I feel that this is one of the best games I have ever played (past move #4 at any rate lol). You'll need to take a chess board to play it out to see it real time, but I was playing black and was caught napping early on by a brilliant offencive move that crumbled my initial King-side Indian defence and had me scrambling to contain and rebuild.
Here is the game:
WHITE: Callum Andrew Smith BLACK Bruce Herbert Fader
1.White e4 Black e5
2.White Qh5 Black g6
3.White Qxe5+ Black Qe7
4.White Qxh8 Black Nf6
5.White d3 Black d5
6.White c3 Black dxe4
7.White Bg5 Black exd3+
8.White Ne2 Black Nbd7
9.White Bxf6 Black Nxf6
10.White Nd2 Black Bf5
11.White Nf3 Black O-O-O
12.White Ng5 Black d2+
13.White Kd1 Black h6
14.White Nh7 Black Qe4
15.White Qxf6 Black Qc2#
Ultimately in my thinking there were two things that allowed me to come back and win this game. The most important one was him allowing my pawn to charge to the second to last rank, underestimating its danger; which was key to my victory and second, his tenacious and single minded effort to free his queen from my quarantine, which in turn drew his resources away from my own objectives (of establishing a pseudo Indian Defence for my King on Queen-side (which took me half of the game)), while simultaneously using part of my blockade to establish my cover file for the coup de gras via a knight sacrifice in the final moments of the game.
All I can say is thank goodness my dad gave me a chess calendar that one year which I used to pour over the games to see if I could out checkmate the masters by using fewer moves than they did, as well as those years wherein I would purposefully force queen trades early on so as to learn to not be entirely reliant upon them (power pieces). Both these things allowed me to calmly regroup from a devastating initial assault and put together a plan to defend, divert and destroy. Callum's fear of losing his Queen ultimately caused him to lose focus on what was happening on the rest of the board.
PS: Virtually all other games in my "best played" category would be ones I lost to vastly superior opponents that forced me to step things up a level just to lose with some dignity )
flings board across room
scattering pieces askew
best endgame ever
Congrats Brucefur!
You know in the japanese variant of chess you can use your turn to introduce any pieces captured from an opponent. They say this magnifies the possibilities far beyond the scope of regular chess. Shogi, or some such, is the name. Of course it's other rules are slightly different as well. Either way, not my expertise.
I suggest you try RTS, or TBS. Real-Time strategy and Turn-based strategy video games. If I recall you played civilization 4, and if I'm right that not quite what I'm talking about. Turn-based are essentially chess, though there are few that would match it's difficulty as they aren't built to be played in the same manner. More like snacks but there are a very few interesting ones. I enjoy seeing the different styles of strategy in each.
Real-time, the more hardcore, though most are built for casual play, has both players acting at all times throughout the game. The standard procedure is both teams start with the basic building unit, enough recourses in the "bank" to begin building primary infrastructure, and a chunk of resources near by to be gathered for building more elaborate production buildings and army/building units. Units and buildings have different build times and abilities, range, armor, speed, blah, blah.
The gold standard for this genre is Starcraft, the creator of this being Blizzard entertainment, their most recent RTS is Warcraft III. They don't need very good computers, Starcraft especially as its got to be 10 years old by now. Still regarded as one of the best though. If you get either, be sure to purchase the "battle chest" package as it includes the necessary expansion packs which are updates made for further balancing. The newest, most elaborate RTS, is Supreme Commander. The playing fields are hundreds of kilometers large involving up to 500 individual units per team. Better have a kick ass computer for that though.
And I thought watching a chess match was the pinnacle of heart-pounding excitement....but reading an actual play-by-play...wow!
Does anyone know whether John Poff, who posted some poems in USP a couple of years ago, is posting now under a different name, or where he can be contacted?
John's last post was in January 2007, go to the Private Messages and use the name spelled the way you see it in the following thread: [www.emule.com] If he does not respond to your message, he may be having trouble logging on like so many others here.
