- 12½ cm square white, 250 gsm card and matching sized envelope
- 12 cm square of black card
- 11½ cm square of patterned paper from the Papermania "liquorice" stack
- 10½ x 7 cm panel of black card
- Tim Holtz car stamped on to a 10 x 6½ cm panel of white card using Versafine onyx black ink
- Papermania sentiment inked using Versafine onyx black - aligned with stripes once image panel had been attached to base card.
Following my recent obsession with turning IKEA brown paper in to personalised wrapping paper - here's another one to share with you - bet you'll never guess who it might be for?!?!?!
Materials used:
- IKEA brown paper (a roll of 8m for £1.95)
- Ranger archival jet black ink
- Clear images by TPC Studio - repeated not quite regularly but not quite randomly either!
- Stampendous sentiment
These gifts are to end up inside another box as part of a larger gift so the outside wrap will be a little more ornate and will have ribbon/twine as well as a matching gift tag - but I'm not done shopping yet!!!
Anyway - hope you like the above card and have a great day

The effectiveness of road safety advertising on driver behaviour
We've come a long way in terms of changes to driving behaviour in the UK. More than nine in 10 people consider drink-driving unacceptable, compared to over half of men who admitted to drink-driving in 19791.
Almost nine in 10 drivers2 say it's not safe using a mobile while driving, although our recent survey revealed more than four in 103 drivers admitting to using their phone behind the wheel. Advertising campaigns aim to provoke positive changes to driving behaviours, but do they work?
David Anderson, Head of Advertising at the University for the Creative Arts, discussed with us the purpose of advertising, and its function within a road safety strategy. Anderson indicates that "as with most advertising campaigns, you have to be clear who it is that you are targeting and what it is that you want them to do."
We wanted to find out whether advertising is an effective tool for educating and influencing driver behaviour, and if it works more productively on its own, or as part of a wider strategy.
Current road safety campaign strategies
Road safety campaign strategies vary, depending on the behaviour being targeted. It's important that all road users, on and off the road, understand what actions to take in order to avoid a road accident or fatality.
Professor Jon May, from the School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth, discussed with us his recent study4 on the effectiveness of road safety advertising on behaviour. His feedback helped us to analyse current UK campaign strategies, and their impact on driver behaviour and decision making.
Targeting behaviour changes
A paper from the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS), written by Hoekstra and Wegman5, discusses the effectiveness of current and new practices within road safety campaigns. They suggest that by presenting drivers with examples of how they should act, rather than how they shouldn't, it could impact how drivers make decisions on the road.
Professor May agrees, highlighting "success is more likely with images showing the desired behaviour, taking place in the dangerous context, and followed by vivid imagery of the successful outcome."
An example of this can be taken from Sweden, where a leading car manufacturer looked at a creative approach to stop drivers using their phone behind the wheel. 'A Sirious Safety Message' was a radio advert6 that could switch off incoming notifications by talking to smartphones; this ran during morning and evening rush hour. Sweden also took another approach at changing distracted driving behaviour by banning billboards7; they discovered billboards distract drivers, increasing the chances of an accident happening.
Message repetition
Road safety campaigns tend to repeat the same message throughout – to drive safely, and not to put yourself and others at risk of an accident. However, sometimes repeating the same message over and over again isn't enough to deter poor driving behaviour.
The USA continually pushes out campaigns to prevent young drivers using their phones behind the wheel, using shocking imagery and real-life stories8. However, fatality rates remains high, seemingly not influenced by these campaigns. This could be because there's no laws in place making mobile use behind the wheel illegal, like in the UK.
The use of shock tactics and graphic images
Hoeskra and Wegman explain that some campaigners firmly believe people can be 'scared straight'. This is because when people are shocked, they'll accept the message and action being presented to them.
A campaign recently started in Australia invites drivers to meet Graham: the only person designed to survive on Australian roads9. This hit global headlines with its gruesome life-like model of a human, designed to survive being in a car crash. The campaign highlights how vulnerable the human body is to injury, reminding drivers to slow down. The shocking approach is inspired by Sweden's 'Vision Zero' strategy.
Anderson firmly believes scaring an audience isn't the most effective method of communicating and changing behaviours.
Shock tactics are the weakest form of advertising simply because of the cultural baggage we now carry. News footage, YouTube and Movies may have desensitised us over the years and we may have become less likely to respond.
Professor May highlighted that "no-one likes to remember shocking imagery, so when people are in a situation where a choice can be made, it is unlikely to come to mind." Meaning some adverts have no effect on drivers when it's needed most.
Countries like Switzerland take a different approach to their road safety campaigns by using light-hearted messaging. A current campaign targets young drivers and motorcyclists, and aims to encourage them to adjust their speed to their surroundings. It's run for more than seven years now, featuring Franky the angel and his band, singing to stressed and speeding drivers – getting them to 'Slow Down, Take It Easy'.
Dieter Luethi, Director of Funds for Road Safety at FVS Traffic Security Fund highlighted that this approach, offering solutions and ideas is more effective than shock tactics. But "a shocking campaign would have been more adequate. But only for the first year of the campaign," as so to get peoples' attention.
Do road safety campaigns work?
The effectiveness of advertising on driver behaviour depends on what's being implemented, the audience that's being targeted, and if it works in conjunction with legislation and law enforcement. The use of shock tactics could be used, but only as an attention-grabbing point, however May and Anderson don't agree.
Professor May felt there's "too much emphasis on warning people about the terrible negative outcomes." People "don't like to think about the terrible outcomes, so they forget the campaign when they are actually driving." He suggests instead:
Adding humour and memorable phrases can help these positive outcomes of safe driving stick in the memory, and people will not suppress them when they pop into their mind while driving.
Anderson highlighted how "irreverence has long been successful in all forms of the arts and I'm a great believer that advertising could better exploit it. Humour and irreverence have also been used as a backlash to disasters, both natural and man-made, as it is a way of dealing with trauma."
Lucy Amos, Research Advisor at Brake, commented on the UK's need for new approaches in current advertisements: "Campaigns needs to be more evidence-based as otherwise its messaging can at best be ineffective, or at worst be seen as both insensitive and judgmental. The UK should seek to engage and inspire through its road safety campaigns. However, it's important to avoid the perception that the audience are being patronized or talked down to."
To summarise, UK road safety campaigns should look to push a positive message behind each serious one – giving drivers an incentive to drive safely, rather than 'telling them off' and scaring them again and again. Advertising campaigns alone cannot change driver behaviour, but when they run alongside law enforcement and legislation, the campaigns are more likely to succeed.

The night of the CORN…
It was Saturday night, and I was completely absorbed in my writing. Trying to do blogs, and guest spots, and find a few minutes to write new words into The Gray Pack 4. So why does it not surprise me, that my three year old found a way to distract me from my work. He came running in to find me from the dining room (where he was supposed to be finishing his dinner with Daddy) because he had shoved a piece of corn up his nose.
He is my third boy, so I guess I was lucky that the first two never shoved anything up their noses. My first instinct was, "Oh shit. We're going to end up at the ER to have a piece of corn removed." then my second reaction was uncontrollable laughter. I mean here is my precious baby looking absolutely stunned that this piece of corn disappeared up his nose…it was hysterical. Once I was able to quit laughing, I had to argue with him about blowing out his nose.
Three year olds have this specific disconnecte between exhaling and inhaling, so I'm saying "blow your nose" and he's snorting the corn farther up his nostril. It took us several tries to get the darn thing out, but the funniest part, was seeing it go shooting across the room. I kid you not it landed six feet away on the living room carpet. Now of course he thinkgs THAT is hysterical, so I'm imagining I will eventually end up in the ER with him having SOMETHING removed from his nose. Any advice on removing foreign objects from your child?
As always, Live, Laugh, and Love like today is your only chance!~Lori

Seminar at
Mat , "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."
Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today let us meditate about the real situation in life through which a follower of Jesus Christ will go through in this world as per our Master's prediction. The followers of Jesus Christ are called here the sheep and the worldly people (who may not know the lord Jesus Christ) among whom they are suppose to go and witness for the lord Jesus Christ are called the wolfs in a figurative manner to show the type of relationship they may find in this world. But, one thing is very sure that both the wolf and the sheep cannot go a long way as friends in any given circumstance in this world. That is why Jesus also told to His disciples in advance, if the world hate you because of me do not wonder about it as in Mat 10:22, "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." So, when all the people hate us because of the lord Jesus Christ that is the time we must stand firm in our faith otherwise we will lose our salvation and get backslidden from our Christian commitment. These sufferings only make us to get the blessings of God as in Luke 6:22, "Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man."
Jesus told his disciples to do two things here on this earth (those who follow him very sincerely) to be watchful as in Mat , "Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." There are two things we must keep in mind and do as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. First of all, we must pray and develop our shrewdness (that is wisdom from God) even if we born in this world with a little knowledge and wisdom to act we need not to worry because our lord Jesus Christ is the real wisdom and if we ask Him in faith he will give us this as in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." Secondly, we must live a very innocent life (blameless, guiltless) like a dove. So that when our lord comes we will be worthy and be qualified to be with Him in the second coming.
May the lord help each one of us to be really very bold since there will be persecutions and oppositions in this world, if we follow the lord Jesus Christ and try to be His witness for the lord among those who do not know Him. Amen.

$1 million a year, that is. For the rest, the usual Republican pittance.
Notice how the bio blurb whitewashes Fiorina's utter failure at HP!
The GOP, party of CEOs failing upward. They may or may not believe that the business of America is the enrichment of themselves, but that's the "principle" they act on.

While the middle class and the poor work hard and struggle, the upper 1% party on and that's what McCain wants to continue. He is not a man for the people but for the rich and the corporations. He is much like bush in many aspects in that daddy got him into school, he finished last in his class, he is totally stubborn, has no patience and a horrific temper and digs in with his decisions. He's not qualified to be the president.

Acting Queensland Premier Jackie Trad
Congratulations Mark McGowan And WA Labor
Victor P Taffa
Palaszczuk Government has congratulated Mark McGowan and Western Australia (WA) Labor on their decisive victory in yesterday's Western Australian election.
Acting Premier Jackie Trad said that she was looking forward to working alongside Mr. McGowan and his government.
"I would like to extend my wholehearted congratulations to Mark McGowan and his team on their fantastic result in yesterday's election." Acting Premier Trad said.
"I wish them all the best for what lies ahead and look forward to working with them to advance core Labor values of fairness, equality and the dignity of work in Northern Australia."
"West Australians chose a united Labor team that was focussed on delivering local jobs and transitioning the economy over the divisive personality politics and dodgy deals being peddled by the Liberals and the National Party." Acting Premier Trad said.
"What is clear from this emphatic result is that Australians are rejecting the politics of division and fear that have plagued other Western nations in recent years."
"This should serve as a clear warning to (LNP Leader) Tim Nicholls and the Liberal National Party (LNP) that people will not accept politicians who are more focussed on doing sneaky preference deals than on actually delivering for Queenslanders." Acting Premier Trad said.
"I call on Tim Nicholls and the LNP to walk away from dodgy preference deals with One Nation."
"I also call on Pauline Hanson to retract her calls for Queensland to lose our fair share of GST funding to other states around the nation which would rip $1.6 Billion out of our economy." Acting Premier Trad said.

But all of my office is finally in my office.
Johnson reveal imminent.
But all of my office is finally in my office.
Johnson reveal imminent.
For the second time, no less.
Pretty hair.
Because it was just starting to be light in the mornings when I got up, and now that's shot to hell for a month at least.
What's she looking at?
Don't sell a house you live in. Emptying it is so much easier than getting it pretty enough for pictures.
This sweater is small and impractical.
Gotta get the house ready for pictures this week. Taking a carload of boxes and a cat to parents' house next weekend. Have to go check for trapped varmints as soon as I publish this poat. Woo!
Locker room selfie.
I managed to get behind on work over the weekend, so today will be quick.
Looks warm there.
That's what you do when you get 6″ of snow but have solo custody of a very small child the next day and you know you have to be able to drive to the store at some point. Did that for just over an hour tonight (I'm writing Sunday night because I have to get up with the toddler in the morning for day 3). Tired. Time to put the pics in the post and then kill zombies for a while.
Her booty is well labelled.
So what I've learned is that I'm not managing stress well at all lately. I've taken too much on, or at least what I've taken on has swelled beyond what I can cope with adequately. I need to spend some effort on dealing with that, managing it, because it's not going away any time soon.
Looks warm there.
I got stress. Stress makes me overeat or make bad choices, or at least degrades my willpower to the point that I don't have as an easy time keeping to the plan. Last week was also an experiment in shifting my eating window based on some "circadian rhythm" research that strongly suggests hormonal benefit to earlier eating rather than later eating, assuming one is eating in a time-restricted window. I did it for 7 days, and skipping dinner is much, much harder than skipping breakfast and lunch. I also closed on my construction loan last week (stressor) and had a pre-appeals-board meeting with County Health and Safety. Today I get to call the Department of Environmental Quality to schedule a site visit and talk about my driveway and the pond I'd like to dig. And I'm up 4# from last Monday, which, well, see the earlier part of this paragraph.
I have this same crucifix necklace, but I wear it on a steel chain.
The binders, that is. Also, work is going to be weird this week. We were supposed to be doing a huge thing that required travel and burning disks and now that's in a Puerto Rican warehouse.
Matching outfit.

LaurEss Cosmetics©
Blush and Shadow 50% Off full sizes! I'm so excited and had to control myself because I love LaurEss! I ordered Escape shadow because my husband took extra notice when I wore it the first time. I also couldn't resist a sample as I'm still trying to find that perfect highlight shadow. My eyes are brownish green hazel, so if yours are too, Escape is a must have.
LaurEss shadows just glide across the lids and have wonderful color payoff which I just love. Extra pride is taken in Lauren work and it shows all the way down to the packing and shipping. If I had an endless supply of money; I'd buy an endless supply of LaurEss.
*All thoughts are my own and I am in no way reimbursed for this review on LaurEss.

I'm the first to admit I have a bit of a book addiction. I love everything about books: the stories they have to tell, the feel of them in my hands, the smell – new or old!, the way they look in stacks and on shelves… Pretty much everything. I also love acquiring them, and since I'm not rich enough to buy all the books I want, I end up borrowing quite a few.
I borrowed lots of books from my best friend to read in the holidays. However, it's now the end of summer and I'm heading back to Oxford in a little under two weeks, and I've only read a few – my own huge TBR (to be read) pile sort of got in the way… This is what I have left to read from the things I borrowed from Emily:
The third book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, and the first three Joe Abercrombie books.
Last week I also borrowed some books from Boyfriend's housemate (ostensibly so he didn't have to move them to the new house, really because I am a book magpie), so I should also read those quite soon:
Kim Newman's take on Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the D'Urbervilles – I'll be pleased if it's as fun as Anno Dracula was, with its total mashup of Victorian literature. And Blackout, which seems to be an Oxonian time-travel novel, and which I've been meaning to read for a while.
Of course, my book addiction started at home, with my similarly book-loving mother, and we've always shared books. She's lent me books which have turned out to be my very favourites, and which I've bought my own copies of for when I'm not at home.
The trouble with our book swapping, though, is that she somehow manages never to have a ridiculous TBR pile like mine (the most hers will hit is about 15, mine is currently at 164). So she reads the books I lend her straight away, whereas I still have tons of things she probably lent me years ago. I'd like to get a lot of these read before I go back, just because I know how much I hate it when my books are out of my hands.
This is what I currently have from her in the TBR pile of doom (there's definitely others tucked away on my shelves):
The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell and The White Raven by Dianna L. Paxson, both from my original King Arthur phase several years ago; Magician by Raymond E. Feist, from my introduction to fantasy lit even earlier than that; the first book of Robin Hobb's newest series, and a non-fiction book about the birth of the detective and detective fiction. These last two were at least lent to me this year!
That's quite a lot to read in the next ten days – I think I'll focus on the books in the top picture, since they were given to me a while ago, and the newer books Mum has lent me, since she probably doesn't remember that I have the others!
Does anyone else stash books quite so much? Even now, when I know exactly how many hundreds I actually have in my room that need to be read, I can't help but browse the bookshops and libraries and buy and borrow even more!
I just really like books…

UN Declares Access To Clean Water A Fundamental Right
(RTTNews) -
The United Nations General Assembly passed a non-binding resolution on Wednesday, declaring access to clean water and proper sanitation as a fundamental human right.
While 122 nations voted in favor of the resolution, none voted against the measure. However, 41 nations abstained from voting, raising concerns that the resolution does not clearly define the scope of this new human right and the obligations it requires.
The nations which abstained from voting on the measure included Canada, the US, the UK, Australia and Botswana. They fear the resolution might undermine the ongoing process in the UN's Human Rights Council in Geneva to build a consensus on water rights.
However, the nations that supported the measure, including China, Russia, Germany, France, Spain and Brazil, feel that the resolution will provide impetus to the ongoing consensus-building process in Geneva.
The resolution declares "the right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right that is essential for the full enjoyment of the right to life," and urges the international community to "scale up efforts to provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable water and sanitation for all".
UN estimates indicate that nearly 1.5 million children under age 5 die every year from water and sanitation-related diseases, while some 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and a further 2.6 billion do not have basic sanitation facilities.
by RTT Staff Writer
Personal notes
Drinking water as a fundamental right is a major step in the right direction, but this resolution falls short of an unanimous decision which leaves me puzzled. Is it not because under legal obligation to do so, some countries would find themselves forced to provide drinking water to zones affected by droughts as it would... We can compare that with the notion of 'non assistance a personne en danger' in French law. I believe there is an English equivalent notion, roughly applied to this context, individual nations or ensembles as well as firms, could be tried in court by people and nations who would deem themselves not assisted under the legal provisions conferred by this right.
Who would be in a position to be sued ? Anyone with the means to assist but that would refrain to do so, especially bordering countries, countries whose courts are universally competent or through the permanent Hague Arbitral Tribunal. Such conflicts are best exemplified currently by the Gaza water shortages due to Israeli restrictions. We can only hope that politicians will regard water as what it is, a right that is non negotiable under any conditions, and not a political commodity.
As for the overall situation, there's two way we can look at this, either as yet another expression of the developed nations and third world frictions in the sense that third world countries require more then the developed nations are ready to give, and some like Sudan did not hesitate to highjack the Copenhagen summit thus perpetuating an image of immature people who want others to solve their problems and admit responsibilities for the woes of this world. Well my friend's theses woes are shared, and developing nations such as Morocco are increasingly bringing investment opportunities and projects to the table rather then problems.
The other way we can look at this is as a tremendous boost in the 'sustainable colonization of planet Earth' as Buckminster Fuller would say. True it is a staggering perspective but also a goal that has to be pursued not only for its humanitarian worth but also now for its legal value. Not to mention the economic benefits from the development of whole communities and ecosystems that become viable again, the sale of effective cost effective portable energy and water captation solutions, tourism, agriculture, etc
That some countries did abstain from voting means we are still in the 'scarcity model', Canada for example, one, if not the fist, exporter of water, would not want to see an amount of its production diverted to drought stricken countries such as Ethiopia and be legally obliged to do so. I find this very regrettable, since drinking water as a right does not mean that water has to be free, and that there is more then one fund and instance in the world that would contribute in offsetting the costs for poor countries.
What must be pursued is how we can sustainably produce drinking water in areas of the world with a poor hydrometry, and that is an area where water desalination and moisture captation technologies are to play a predominant role. This is very much at the core of what Project Genesis Morocco is about, filling the energy and water gap by instituting a virtuous cycle where the main obstacles to sustainable development, water, energy and food scarcity are removed in a comprehensive manner.

Dogging the Wag
Here's an archive of articles about Conan O'Brien. It includes the following article, by Conan himself, which was published in the New York Times on September 13, 1993, the day his show debuted:
O'Brien Flops!
By Conan O'Brien
There has been much speculation about the new 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien.' Little is known about the host, and even less about the show's format. Last week, this writer had the opportunity to watch a test show in Rockefeller Center's legendary studio 6-A. Frankly, I was not impressed.
The crowd was visibly eager to like the young newcomer, but some seemed puzzled by the radical new set. The backdrop, consisting of 15-foot representations of Mr. O'Brien's laughing head, loomed over his desk and chair, both carved from illegally imported African ivory. While this was somewhat unsettling, an aura of eager anticipation still hung in the air.
Until, that is, the new Late Night band began to play. Composed of musicians cut by the Boston Pops, the band lurched into an interminable version of 'Waltzing Matilda,' apparently the show's theme song. The bandleader, a surly cellist, refused to make eye contact with anyone and hissed at a young girl who tried to clap along. As the music sputtered to a flaccid conclusion, thick jets of foam were dumped on the audience from hidden ceiling ducts. As people wiped the stinging lather from their eyes, Mr. O'Brien jumped out from behind a curtain and cheerfully quipped, 'Ha, ha, you're all foamy!' Unfazed by the lukewarm reaction to this ill-conceived prank, Mr. O'Brien launched into his monologue. Whipping out a large book, he read a string of childish 'knock-knock' jokes. While the material was fair, Mr. O'Brien's delivery was halting, and he paused several times to adjust his reading glasses.
The worse was yet to come. Strutting arrogantly to his desk, Mr. O'Brien tried to converse briefly with his sidekick, an elderly Irish priest. But the old man seemed confused, and despite constant goading from Mr. O'Brien, sat in stony silence.
Sensing a loss of momentum, Mr. O'Brien quickly launched into a 'Top Ten' list, something he'd repeatedly told the press he would never do. The list was rife with misspellings, and three of the 10 entries read 'joke to come.' Moments later, he tried playfully flipping a pencil at a camera, but missed and stuck a woman in the eye. 'At least it wasn't me,' quipped the first guest, the former Mets outfielder Vince Coleman. O'Brien burst into laughter at this distasteful comment. 'Now we're cooking with gas,' said the cocky new voice of 'Late Night.'
Mr. O'Brien's guests that evening also included the deputy director of New York's wastewater collection bureau, the editor of the NBC inter-office newsletter and a man who could eat oranges without getting any juice on his shirt (although he failed to do so on camera). Inexplicably, all the guests were introduced at the same time. Mr. O'Brien then asked each, in turn, his favorite color. To every answer, he snorted that the chosen color was 'for girls.'
During a commercial break, several NBC executives entered the audience and asked for volunteers to hold up a gaudy 'Nobody Beats Conan' banner, but the crowd jeered bitterly and one youth kicked the sign.
The last 20 minutes of the program consisted of Mr. O'Brien performing a strange, snake-like dance in front of his desk as audience members filed out in disgust. 'You'll be back!' he shouted several times, until the entire studio was empty (except for the orange-eater and Mr. Coleman, who giggled frenetically under the closing credits).
As much as this writer would like to root for Mr. O'Brien, one can't help but have grave doubts about his prospects. Despite the considerable power of his raw sexuality and mesmerizing intellectual presence, this 'Late Night' may very well end up the late 'Late Night.' Or not, I gotta go.
When Conan was in high school, he won a national writing contest and the Boston Globe wrote this article about him.
Here's an excerpt:
O'Brien's English teacher, Christopher Reimann, says Conan's writing is very good. "Unlike most high school students, he is able to communicate what he is thinking very clearly. That can be a two-edged sword. If your thinking is confused, you have to have the ability to handle ambiguity. I criticize Conan's papers not on a high school level but on a more mature basis and he handles criticism fairly well. It is clearly important to him."
O'Brien says, "There's not that much that separates me from other students, except that I take English very seriously. If I get a mediocre mark in math, I let it slide, but not in English."
Adds Conan, "I wrote to E.B. White, one of the writers I admire most, once and asked him how he handled criticism of his writing. You put so much of yourself into it that it's hard not to take criticism personally. White wrote back that he never minded critics much except when they had their facts wrong."
"I like Hemingway, too. He has a vocabulary about as extensive as mine, but he puts it together well. And Woody Allen. He's made up a style of his own. Everytime he starts with a thoughtful sentence he slips in something totally absurd."
Asked about the name, Conan, O'Brien says it is not for mystery writer Conan Doyle, but for Gaelic priests. "Something so simple that you can't make a nickname out of it.
"College? I'll take the best one that picks me. I tell my parents that next year they'll have to ask someone else to drive the little kids around and do errands, but I'll miss it just the same. There are a lot of real characters in this family."
Of course, Conan went on to Harvard, where he double-majored in literature and American history. In 1985, he graduated magna cum laude.
In the summer after it was announced Conan would replace Letterman, there was a lot of curiosity about who the heck this Conan O'Brien fellow was, so, in the July 1993 issue of Esquire, people who knew Conan were asked to provide some illumination. Unfortunately, this article is not in the archive, but, since I own a copy of the magazine, I can provide the following excerpts:
Thomas O'Brien, Conan's father: At some point in grade school, he developed the idea that his career would be as a professional teaser. He'd go from door-to-door with his kit and his apparatus teasing small children, which he happened to be very good at. But the straight-faced premise was that somehow this would be a career, that people would pay him for this. Which is absurd -- and he was aware of that -- that he was going to rise in his profession as a door-to-door, itinerant teaser.
Ruth O'Brien, Conan's mother:That's what the kids in the family called him: Tease Man. And that's what he called himself.
Jeff Young, Conan's high school English teacher: He was in a class of mine called Art of the Essay, and one of the writers we studied was E.B. White. He became quite enamored of White's style and at the same time wondered what it was like to be a writer -- which was his career goal at that point -- and how writers managed to fend off criticism and deal with praise. I suggested to him that he write to E.B. White and ask him. Which he did. I have a pretty clear memory of him running into class that year waving this letter from E.B. White. And I remember the essence of White's advice was not to be swayed either by public adulation or by public criticism but to remain true to your own voice and ideals and just write from your heart and that all the other stuff was external. I think that made a pretty big impression on Conan.
Eric Reiff, Conan's college roommate: I think the first piece he ever wrote for the Lampoon was this thing called "Conflict: The Sitcom," which was a parody of One Day at a Time. It was published in the magazine and senior editors came up to him -- Jeff Martin, who wrote for Letterman and The Simpsons, came up -- and said, "That's really great. That's great writing." That's pretty rare. They're a pretty horrible bunch.
Jeff Martin, Lampoon alumnus and former writer for Late Night with David Letterman and The Simpsons: The stuff he wrote that I liked the best was a bunch of Abe Lincoln comics. Just Abe Lincoln in odd situations, but always being very stern and statesmanlike. He'd be in a Soap Box Derby or something and a kid would be going like, "You won, Abe!" And Lincoln would be just sternly saying, "Yes, Corky, but not the race to unite our world."
Mike Reiss, Lampoon alumnus and former executive producer, The Simpsons: What made everyone take notice of the guy was that he had been elected president of the Lampoon in his sophomore year, which just never happened. People wanted to know: Who is this guy?
Jeff Martin: In 1985 five of us went down to Florida for spring training. Conan started telling people -- generally our waiters and waitresses when we'd eat out -- that he was Harry Morgan's grandson. Harry Morgan of M*A*S*H and Dragnet fame. We tried it on about ten different people. "You know, Harry Morgan? On M*A*S*H? Colonel Potter?" And they'd say, "Yeah." And he'd go, "He's my grandfather." And the reactions would run from people delighted and wanting to know all about life on the M*A*S*H set to "Oh, yeah? Who cares?" But I think most people believed it, because why in the world would you make that up?
Mike Myers, cast member, Saturday Night Live: First time I met Conan, I had just arrived. He goes, "Hi, welcome." We chatted for a bit. Then he left a note at my desk that said, "Dear Mike, I will destroy you. I don't know how and I don't know when. But oh, yes, I will destroy you. And the beautiful thing of it is that no one will know I had anything to do with it. Signed, Conan." This was my first day. So I kept that letter. It's up on my corkboard at work.
Lorne Michaels, executive producer, Saturday Night Live: We never really considered him as a sketch player because the way in which he is funny is at being himself. In the early days of the show, Chevy, who was a writer before we went on the air, was also somebody who was really funny in the office and funny being Chevy. And not to diminish Chevy's ability as a sketch player, but he wasn't the same kind of sketch player that Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi and Bill Murray were. Chevy was funny being Chevy, and I think Conan's funny being Conan.
Josh Weinstein, co-producer, The Simpsons: We were going to record an episode. We all sat down at the table. And then right before we got started, he got a call and left and then he never came back to the room. And then he came in later in the afternoon and said, "Well, I got the 12:30." He seemed sort of stunned. It was obviously the hugest thing that had ever happened to him.
Conan O'Brien: I got a telephone call from my agent in the morning and that day it just took off immediately. There wasn't time to just celebrate. I did not get a chance to say, "Wow, this is terrific." I just had to go immediately. They ran me over to the Leno show at the last minute. I just ran out there and said, "Hi, America -- I'll see you later." It's just crazy. The next morning I'm walking through Westwood and my picture's in USA Today. It's the worst picture of me ever taken. It looked like a satellite photo.... I've always fantasized about being famous. I've always fantasized about being a performer, having people recognize me. But that's a fantasy for a lot of people. When it really starts to happen, there is something creepy about it.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – A protest in response to the officer-involved shooting of Jamar Clark over the weekend got downright nasty on Monday night in Minneapolis.
It started at a precinct, migrated to a highway exit ramp, and ultimately went onto the freeway, where the crowd blocked traffic. When police made detours for drivers, the crowd blocked those too.
The demonstration was in response to Clark's killing. Police say they were called because he was assaulting a woman Sunday morning and the shooting happened when he wouldn't cooperate. Witnesses say they saw something else.
"That man was shot when he had his hands behind his back, that's not right," said Kiesha Steele.
With conflicting stories, the Department of Justice will investigate, but in the meantime Monday's protest literally stopped people in their tracks.
Finally police gave the crowd a 15-minute warning, calling the assembly unlawful. Fifty-one people were detained.

New data from Utah State University Buried Structures Laboratory quantifies water main breaks by pipe material type, helping towns and cities across Canada and the U.S. predict their costs in the future. Since their ground breaking study in 2012, Dr. Steve Folkman has found break rates increased 27% in 5 years and even more troublesome, the replacement rate is not keeping up with the deterioration rate. For a copy of the report, click here: For the report in French, click here:
A new study, just published in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, claims to have found the mother lode – quadrillion tons of diamonds. To put that number into a more understandable perspective; it equates to 1,000,000,000,000,000 tons (I'm using metric tons, i.e. 1,000 kg), hence 1,000 kg/ton, times 1,000 g/kg, times 4 carat/g, and it all comes to a cool 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 carat of diamonds (possibly in liquid form at a zillion degrees mixed in magma).
The Australian electricity market has become a stinking swamp covered with a tangled net of treaties, laws, rules, obligations, prohibitions, targets, taxes and subsidies. The swamp conceals the rubble of demolished coal generators; another plant destined for destruction (Liddell) is gradually sinking in the green ooze.
The Endangered Species Act is supposed to protect species in nature from becoming extinct, but it's tended to threaten the extinction of American businesses when used by a blunt force instrument in the hands of the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Arriving at your favorite beach only to discover it's closed because of bacterial contamination can be a bummer. But even worse would be unknowingly swimming in waters polluted with fecal material — a very real possibility, given that current detection methods can require up to 24 hours to obtain results. Now, researchers reporting in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology have identified computer models that provide accurate short-term forecasts, or "nowcasts," of beach water quality.
Kinder-Morgan, the nation's largest midstream energy company, just announced a multi-billion-dollar pipeline project to move two billion cubic feet of natural gas each day from West Texas to Gulf Coast consumers. At the same time, on the other side of the country, a federal judge threw out a climate-related lawsuit against some of the largest oil and gas companies in world.
WASHINGTON – Today the Institute for Energy Research filed an open records lawsuit against the Department of the Treasury relating to continuing efforts in Washington to quietly advance the "climate" industry.
In 2017, China was the world's fastest-growing natural gas market. Consumption grew by 15 percent—over twice the rate of economic growth—and liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports grew by 46 percent. In 2013, under the country's National Action Plan on Air Pollution Prevention and Control, natural gas became a central part of the Chinese government's plan for fighting air pollution. China's thirteenth Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) set goals for increasing the use of natural gas, including almost doubling the share of natural gas in China's energy mix in five years—providing up to 10 percent of China's primary energy by 2020 and 15 percent by 2030.
We recently explained how Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) use manmade climate change alarmism to justify lending policies that reject funding for fossil fuel electricity generation, promote expensive and unreliable renewable sources, and thereby help keep impoverished nations poor.
Over a year ago, the Maryland Public Service Commission approved wind turbines to be located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, and the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been reviewing those plans.
The climate alarm media, the bureaucracy and the Green Energy industry follow an agenda which is served by inflating any short-term weather event into a climate calamity. They should take a long-term view.
According to BP's 2018 edition of its Statistical Review of World Energy, renewable energy has not been able to fill the void created by retiring nuclear plants despite its large growth in 2017. As a result, the share of non-carbon power generation has fallen slightly over the past 20 years.
When reports emerged that India and China are in talks about forming an oil buyers' club, OPEC was probably too busy with its upcoming June 22 meeting to concern itself with that dangerous alliance. Now, it may be time for it to start worrying.
Nuclear plants were originally issued 40-year operating licenses by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Most utilities had applied for 20-year renewals for their nuclear units, and have operated them for 50 to 60 years. Many utilities are now considering applying for a second renewal and four plants have begun that decade-long process. The initial operating license for nuclear units was issued for 40 years because it was believed that nuclear plants would last 40 to 50 years. But, they, like coal plants, have operated for much longer, providing reliable and relatively inexpensive electricity.
You can understand their frustration, as the steady stream of radical environmentalist successes during the Obama years has been replaced with endless setbacks. Oil, gas and coal leasing, permits and production have risen significantly. Big Green just lost its first Big Cities v. Big Oil climate change shakedown lawsuit. President Trump pulled the USA out of the economy-wrecking, all-pain-no-gain Paris Climate Treaty and will soon nominate another Supreme Court justice.
The internet news is awash with doom-and-gloom articles about the climate. Scenarios predicting ever more frequent weather events, like hurricanes, droughts, catastrophic rainfalls, and more millions of migrants from impoverished countries (often termed "refugees"), or none of the above, are all blamed squarely on "climate change" supposedly caused by the 0.04% of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere..
Energy has seen some big changes in the last few years.
Coal has stumbled. Renewables have surged. Oil fell hard, then spent years clawing its way back up.
But the biggest change in energy has been in tech.
Saudi Arabia is starting to panic, and is growing concerned that the growing number of supply disruptions around the world could cause oil prices to spike. Saudi Arabia is moving quickly to head off a supply crunch, aiming to dramatically ramp up production to a record high 11 million barrels per day in July, according to Reuters.
On Tuesday, the EPA released a proposal to raise the biofuel mandate 3.1 percent to 19.88 billion gallons in 2019.  Under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), fuel suppliers are required to mix billions of gallons of ethanol into gasoline and diesel fuel each year.
On June 1, 2018, China, the world's largest solar market, announced changes to its solar subsidies, causing estimates of its future solar construction to be slashed. China will terminate approvals for new subsidized utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in 2018.

Jada Pinkett Opens Up On Her Relationship With Will Smith
They are perceived as having one of the strongest unions in Hollywood, sharing two children and 15 years as husband and wife - inspiring some to suggest their secret to everlasting love is an open relationship.
But Jada Pinkett-Smith was still dancing around those rumours in a recent video interview with the Huffington Post.
The actress, first delivered a firm, 'No,' then added: 'I've always told Will: You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.'
The 41-year-old actress explained critics seem to get the idea she and Will allow each other to be with other partners because the pair are 'very relaxed with one another'.
She suggested her reluctance to weigh in on her husband's every moral decision.
'Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man,' Jada said.
'I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's not for me to do for him,' she continued, adding that the agreement goes both ways.
Jada also credits their strong friendship with helping their marriage to survive long past the Hollywood average.
She explained: 'Will is my best friend. He's been by my side for some of the most difficult parts of my life. You always have that for your foundation.'
The couple, who married in December 1997, have endured split rumours in the past, but always emerge on red carpets looking united as ever.
Jada - who is mum to actor Jaden, 14, singer Willow, 12, and stepmother to Will's son Trey from a previous relationship - has also been forced to defend her parenting skills and recently penned an open letter on her Facebook page.
'It's been interesting because I started with the idea of bullying but, I tell you something, I've actually expanded my ideas on that after seeing all the press on this particular subject.
'I think we have to be very careful that we're not creating prejudiced attitudes... that you can justify treating a person lesser than because of certain qualities,' she explained.
Last month, Jada said that it's wrong for people to 'attack and criticise' young stars such as Justin on social media after the pop star - who is a good friend of her son Jaden - received criticism after a string of altercations with paparazzi and a medical emergency that left him hospitalised.
The actress's teenage son accompanied the Baby singer on his controversial visit to London and Jada was stunned at the vitriol Justin and his peers like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and actress Quvenzhane Wallis have to tolerate online.
In an open letter on her Facebook page, she pondered: 'How can we ask for our young stars to have a high level of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them?
'Do we feel as though we can say and do what we please without demonstrating any responsibility simply because they are famous?'

Pattern earnings grow
Electricity sales and acquisitions boost EBITDA in first half of year
Pattern Energy adjusted earnings increased to more than $190m in the first half of 2017, up from over $156m in the same period last year.
The company was boosted by increased electricity sales this year, rising to 4,135,510 megawatt-hours, compared with 3,515,871MWh last year.
The increase was mainly down to more "favourable wind conditions" in the latest period than last year. The acquisitions of Broadview and Armow also improved the sales, it added.
Pattern made a net loss in the first six months of the year of just over $12m. However, this was an improvement on the almost $45m loss in the first half of last year.
The company said that it has expanded its pipeline of projects under development to 10GW.
Pattern Energy president and chief executive Mike Garland said: "Pattern Energy is stronger today, with access to a larger pipeline, higher returns through our direct involvement in the development business, improved alignment with both the development business and our new shareholder, PSP Investments, through the co-investment relationship, as well as access to capital to fund growth without relying solely on debt or equity."
The company announced a series of initiatives in June totalling almost $1bn to help boost its renewables portfolio.

I believe you are entitled to your money back.
Don't worry though, I was surprised at the number of single people in seminary.

Oh sister, you are a funny one. I like the pictures of Jason and Justin... I bet if they saw your blog, they'd buy you dinner!

You look so cute on your first day of school. Love the Disney Princess notebook! If it were my first day of graduate seminary school, I would probably be overly concerned with looking "holy" and "biblical" (whatever that means) - probably my Catholic upbringing.
Regarding Justin and Jason...if they are part of God's plan for you, great! If not, remember Jeremiah 29:11:
"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome."
May the Lord be with you in all ways on your journey!
Your Veritas sister, Anne L.

Kate Atkinson's third novel to feature Jackson Brodie, a former police officer turned private investigator, is the best of the series.
In "When Will There Be Good News?" (Little, Brown & Co., 320 pages, $24.99), Joanna Mason, 6, is walking with her mother, Gabrielle, sister, Jessica, 8, and brother, Joseph, 1. They are attacked. Joanna is the only survivor.
Fast forward 30 years. She is Dr. Hunter. Her husband is in financial trouble. They have an infant, Gabriel. Reggie Chase, 16, is the nanny.
Brodie gets on the wrong train, which derails. Reggie, who asked Dr. Hunter to give her emergency training because of the baby, saves Brodie. In the chaos, he ends up with a wallet belonging to another man: Andrew Decker, who was released from prison. He was convicted of murdering the Mason family. DCI Louise Monroe is tracking Decker because of a similar homicide. When Dr. Hunter and her child disappear, Monroe asks Brodie for help.

Back to future
Texas produces its electricity from several sources. Natural gas accounts for 48 percent, coal for 38 percent, nuclear for 11 percent and alternative sources such as wind and solar for 3 percent.
France produces 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear power plants, while the U.S. produces only 20 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. With Americans growing more concerned over dependency on foreign oil and gas, people are looking for reliable solutions. Nuclear power may be an answer.
There are tremendous reserves of natural gas and oil available in Texas and the U.S., both on shore and off shore, particularly in the Gulf, but also off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. These reservoirs, if properly developed, would dramatically lessen our dependency on foreign oil and gas.
Unfortunately, environmentalists and their allies in Congress have obstructed the development of these resources through restrictive legislation and regulatory agencies filled with liberals wringing their hands over global warming and oil industry profits.
The average American wants to make sure he will have access to electric power and is largely unconcerned with the source of energy as long as it is produced responsibly. Our economy is dependent upon energy. The free market system wants to provide this energy to the consumers at a profit; however, government regulation impedes the ability of businesses to provide this energy in adequate amounts and at a reasonable cost.
There are 104 commercial nuclear plants generating electricity in the U.S., but only two in Texas, the Comanche Peak Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) southwest of Fort Worth and the South Texas NGS southwest of Houston.
This chill in the building of nuclear power plants resulted from the negative public reaction to the Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania in 1979 and the Chernobyl disaster in Russia in 1986. It takes 10 years to build a nuclear power plant. Because of environmentalists' concerns and government regulations, no new nuclear power facility has become operational in the U.S. since 1997.
With the significant increase in the cost of oil and gas, nuclear power has once again surfaced as a realistic alternative. Economics ultimately determines the energy source from which our electricity is derived. That is why nuclear power is coming to the forefront. There are currently license applications for 15 nuclear plants to be built in the United States.
While expensive to construct, nuclear power has low operating costs and emits no air pollution. There is an unlimited supply of uranium for fuel. It has proven to be an affordable and reliable source of energy from which to produce electricity. The problems disposing of nuclear waste are manageable.
Human ingenuity and the free market system will continue to discover new energy sources. In the meantime, nuclear energy provides us with the opportunity to diversify our sources for the production of electricity and will decrease our dependency on the Middle East.

Little Miss Jolene had a great pregnancy, but a difficult delivery. After the first pup was born out of the sac and breech at home, it was two hours of contractions later that we gave up and went to the vet for a c-section. On the way to the vet, I was watching her and driving straight, but the road curved, and we had an auto accident that totalled the car out on a country road. A very caring farmer came to our aid, though, and finished rushing her to the vet where she had one more puppy naturally, one that didn't make it, and the final one being delivered via c-section. Her litter goes down as the most expensive litter EVER, at least in my books. But the good news is that she's fine, I'm fine, and we have 3 beautiful babies who are eating, sleeping and snorting their way into the world with much gusto!
I've mentioned on my facebook page how often the pugs use my phone. Every time I turn around, they're buying ringtones, or doing something sneaky. Well, I finally captured them on film. Miss Jolene is so proud of her pups that she was texting all her friends! See for yourself!

FREE Pattern To Make Felt Elf Clogs - Elf Shoes
When it comes to crafting, I usually don't craft in the felt medium...however, this fall has been a different story. I got a great deal on a lot of felt and I have been looking for various holiday and christmas patterns online that utilize felt so that I can use up some of my stash.
I found this felt elf clog pattern over on the Jolly All Sorts Blog ---> HERE
You can print out the pattern and make them too. I was able to make mine by completely hand stitching them with a blanket stitch. I chose to use red felt and white embroidery thread along with blue pom-poms. (my pom-poms are actually a dark navy blue color but my camera flash lightened them).
I think the original pattern maker used wool felt...I used the regular craft store acrylic felt when I made mine. It only took me an hour to make my little elf clogs! I think they are way too cute! I have mine sitting on my end table in the living room on top of 3 Christmas story books (decorations)...but I think they would look darling hung on a holiday tree, sitting on a shelf or your mantle.

March 16, 2011 15:33 ET
STUDIO CITY, CA and CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES--(Marketwire - March 16, 2011) - SupportSave (OTCBB: SSVE) today announced the Signing of a contract worth an estimated $250,000 per year by a global leader in the recreational and sporting goods market. The company has a stable of market leading brands found at the nation's largest retailers and across the globe. The contract to provide inbound customer service for warranty support is worth an estimated $250,000 per year. "This is a very exciting time in our company's history, while we are going through a transition, this demonstrates our ability to execute, and with such a big name client, the future is bright," states Christopher Johns, the company's newly elected President and founder.
SupportSave also recently completed the migration of its new world class facility with its inauguration covered by local TV outlets. The inauguration was attended by local leaders and dignitaries including Director General of PEZA and Fr. Secretary of Education, Hon. Dr Mona Valisno. The new state-of-the-art facility has prepared SupportSave to win more big name clients like the one announced today. The new center is housed at Robinson's Cybergate Cebu where SupportSave and Accenture are the marquee and only tenants of the BPO space.
The TV coverage from ASB-CBN, the Philippines largest media outlet, can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHZbJsOb9PI
SupportSave is at this moment implementing significant cost-cutting measures focused on profitability within the next two quarters, including reducing the salary of its top executives as well as reducing other cash and non-cash expenses. Aina Dumlao, the company's co-founder, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Johns, the company's founder, is now occupying the post of President. Part of the cost-cutting measures included Johns voluntarily reducing his salary to $48,000 per year. Some of the money saved will be re-invested in an across-the-board salary increase for all of the company's 300+ employees. "Investing in our people will reward those who deserve it most, while helping us improve our ability to attract and retain the talent we need to drive growth," states Dumlao.

The following legally played engine-assisted game was played on LechenicherSchachServer; I was using the Houdini 1.5 32 engine. I can't be sure what engine my opponent was using, but it is clear that Fritz 12 does not do nearly as well evaluating this game as Houdini did.
What makes the game interesting is that it illustrates several points I have recently posted about concerning opening preparation in correspondence chess, trusting GM evaluations over engines, the difference in engine evaluations and not letting an engine run long enough, to name a few.
My opponent played the K-Gambit and I declined it on principle. When it became clear we were following the game between an unknown named Pulvermacher and Capablanca played in New York in 1907, I could not figure out why my opponent was following that game because it was a quick win for Capablanca.
It became clear when the engines found an improvement for White at move 9 and my opponent was banking on the improvement to give him the advantage. Some preliminary analysis conducted with Houdini had already alerted me to that point so I was not surprised.
Pulvermacher played 9.Bxg4 which was a losing blunder. Fritz and Houdini both recommended the much better 9.Nxg4. Houdini evaluated the position at a one P advantage for White. So how did White end up losing the game? As I pointed out in the post "Correspondence Play and Analyzing with an Engine," engines may give a deceptive positional evaluation. I had to ask, "Did Capa misevaluate the position or was his positional judgment that Black stood better after 8…O-O no matter what White replied correct?" The answer was not immediately apparent but I followed my own advice and trusted Capa's judgment. Subsequent analysis proved that he was indeed correct and that, as pointed out in the previous post, you cannot rely on an engine's positional judgment especially when it has a material advantage. In this case Black's advantage was not evident for several more moves.
It also shows the disadvantage of selecting an engine recommended move after only allowing it a minute or so to analyze. You must allow it to think much longer and then play out the variations to make sure there is not something beyond its horizon or possibly a better move that's lost in the trimming process. Failure to do so will result in what happened in this game; White got false evaluations.
White erred by playing Fritz' choice, after one minute of analysis, of 12.Bxb5.which supposedly left him an advantage of 1-1/3 P's. On the other hand Houdini evaluated it at only 0.6 P.
We see that by move 17, that without making any "mistakes," the position was rated equal by Houdini but Fritz initially thought White had an advantage of about 0.8 P. However, after a minute or two Fritz dropped the evaluation to about 1/3 P.
By the time we get to move 18 Fritz' evaluations were totally whacked out while Houdini had a pretty good grasp of the real situation.
As I said, I have no way of knowing which engine White was using, but it is clear that Houdini's evaluations are closer to the mark than those of Fritz 12. I also noticed Fritz' evaluations tended to jump about a lot during its analysis process whereas Houdini's evaluations remained "steadier."
In any case this game makes a good case for doing opening research, allowing engines plenty of time and not just accepting their recommendation of what the best move is after only a few second's thought, the necessity of actually playing through the engine's recommended variation for a few moves and finally, trusting a GM's positional judgment as to who stands better.
The game also shows why, no matter what one thinks of engine-assisted chess, there's more to winning than just buying (or downloading free) software and letting the engine select your move. Titled CC players are also proven correct when they say you need to check things out with more than one engine and anybody who plays only engine moves in as ICCF titled event will lose.

I am very glad I stumbled upon this site this morning, it is just so precious. I randomly found cardboardlove.com, and it is basically just a site with a little cardboard posting every day. This is what the creator of the site says:
I never really intended for these little bits of cardboard to be a big deal, but the response has been both surprising and uplifting. In general, I am a pretty negative person. This project has been a chance for me to focus on the positive for a change. Some people like these, some think they are lame, to each his or her own. I'm just glad to have someone in my life that makes me not afraid to be lame.
Thank you for visiting. I hope something here makes you smile.
This is my type of cutesie romance. I love it, my heart just melts for this darling couple.
Simply wonderful. Have a beautiful day lovelies.
