cees for different reasons. Most join the three involved for one of Jaybasic reasons: I. "The desire for self-improvement to Jcam how to accrpt responsibi}ity. to make decisions. become dTCC'rive speaker... develop management t.c:chniquc:s..o be better employro.. t and to be better indi\iduals. 2. The desire for community involvement - to have a hand in identifving community ills. then planning and executing action to remedy those situations. 3. The desire for fellowship - to meet and associate with progressive young men of the same age bracket with similar interests and objectives. Our organization ~ unique in that we limit our me:nbe~hip to young men between the ages of 18and 36. In order to continually increase our ability to improve our communities. we must involve more people in our efforts. In addition to membe~ -aging out~ of the Jaycees. our age group ~ on the move. Ne" membe~ not only provide manpower for our projects. but are a valuable source for new ideas and direction for our chapte~. America is asking voluntee~ to take a more active role in our communili~. The Jaycees. as the young leade~ of the community. are being called upon to lead the way. In order to fulfLlI this responsibility. every Jaycee chapter must increase its manpower. The more young men we have involved. the more we can accomplish. As a new member. vour fi~t action must be to participate -in a variety of Jaycee activities. Take the fi~t step. get started in the Springboard program. Participate in some of the acti\ities your chapter ~ conducting and attend the meetings. As you and your community benefit from your involvement. offer the opportunity 'for membership to other young men. Someone asked you to get involved. now you can offer the same opportunity to another young man.
YOU get
One of the greatest experiences as a Jaycee is to recruit a new member and watch him grow as a result of his Jaycee experience. You surely know someone who could benefit from Jaycees and, at the same time, offer your chapter the benefit of his involvement. Maybe he's not much of a Mjoiner"and not active in his community. Recruit him and he can participate in Jaycees along with you. After a short time, you will notice some changes in him. As he participates in Speak-Up, develops self-ronfidence, works hard on a chapter project and feels like he contributed to his community, takes part in a social activity and esta~ lishes some new friendships-you will realize how proud it can make you. All this can take place because: you offered him the opportunity to become a Jaycee. Think of the young men you know who would benefit from being a Jaycee. Possibly your neighbors and other friends. What about your banker, doctor, pharmacist or mechanic? Perhaps your boss or fellow employees would join you in the Jaycees. It doesn't take long to develop quite a list of potential Jaycees. Now, all it takes is for you to offer them the opportunity to get involved in the Jaycees. Ask one or two to attend the next meeting with you. You don't have to know a lot about Jaycees, you can learn together. If you are enjoying your Jaycee experience, so will they. Ask them to join you at the next social or project your chapter is conducting. Take pride in the Jaycees you recruit. They wouldn't have the opportunity had it not been for you. You wouldn't be a Jaycee had it not been for the person that got you involved. One of the great "paychecks" we receive from our JayCee experience is self-satisfaction and pride. Nothing could be more satisfying than ha\ing a man you recruited participate in C.P.R. training and later use that training to save someone's life. Imagine the pride you would feel if someone you recruited became the chairman of a project that built a swimming pool for handicapped children. You could also recruit a future chapter president or state president. Maybe a Mayor or Senator. Every young man deserves the opportunity to be a Jayc:ee. It is up to you to offer him the opportunity. So, together - we can change the world! Enjoy your Jaycee career.
Why Recruit? Every chapter officer realizes that members do projects that heJp the community and benefit the Jaycees wbo work on the projects. The most misunderstood membership issue is why do Jaycee chapters need more Jaycees. The following excerpt from The U.S. Jaycees' Recruitment Manual (available from The U.S. Jaycees Sales Catalog) gives the reasons for recruitment. The need for more Jaycees is explained by past U.S. Jaycees President Dick Robinson (197)76), "Jaycees want to have an impact on the United States. That impact can onJy come through widespread involvement. We must leek to offer the opportunity of Jaycee involvement to as many young men as possibJe. Only then will our organization begin to more positiveJy bring about tbe collective community involvement we desire. Local growth is the answer .•• Each chapter shouJd have an ongoing recruitment program for at least these three very important reasons: J. A chapter must continue to replace those who have left the chapter through age, moving, etc. 2. 1be more members, the more manpower you have to run projects which meet the needs of your community and carry out your chapter's planned pr~ gram of activities.. 3. Most importantly, Jaycees offer every young man the opportunity for Jeadership training and personal growth. Let's discuss, briefly, each of these reasons. Replacing Members. Every year, members reach the age limit., move to another community, or find some other interest. In any case, your membership is less. Let's look at what happens without any attempt to replenish chapter membership. Assume your chapter starts the year with 30 members. At year's end, for one reason or another, ten members did not rejoin, which is a retention rate of 66.6% If a chapter averages 66.6% retention year-in and year-out, and does not replenish the membership, your chapter, even with minimal recruitment effort, will be below The U.S. Jaycees minimum requirements for membership of 20 members within two years.. If you fail to recruit, your membership will decrease until your chapter does not exist., or at best, will be so small you will not have an impact in your community. Meeting the Needs of Your Community. Satisfying a community's needs is a never ending battle, regardless of the type of needs your community has. To do the best job possible, you need to have all the manpower you can get. The more members you have, the more projects you can run, consequently, meeting more of your community needs. Divide the number of Jaycees in your chapter into the number of people in your community. Whatever the number is, that is the number of people each Jaycee in your chapter must serve. Wouldn't it be easier for your chapter, and better for your community. if you doubled or tripled your membership?
Logically. the more Jaycees you have, the higher the probability of meeting your community's needs. This theory does not take into consideration many other factors such as: good chapter management, number of other organizations, age of the population, etc. In most cases, even with other factors to consider, you would have to agree that the addition of Jaycees in your chapter gives you more potential to solve your community's problems. The Opportunity for Leadership Training. Jaycees exist, not only for community development, but also individual development A young man with strong leadership training will be better able to address community needs and provide solutions to the ills of the community. The case for leadership training in this country cannot be overstated. You can cite many instances of lack of leadership; whether it is in the area of government, business or a person's personal life. The need to involve people in leadership training will always continue simply because each year a new class graduates into the world. Jaycees offer a continual program of leadership training from ages IPr35, or even beyond for associate members-the only volunteer organization in the world to do so. U we agree that there is a need for leadership training, it is inconceivable not to offer Jaycees to every young man. The United States has approximately 27 million young men I Pr36, but The U.S. Jaycees membership is approximately 280,000, less than 2% of those eligible. It is difficult to believe every young man has been offered an opportunity to belong. Conclusion. Every chapter must constantly face the challenge of growth. If your chapter is not growing, it is dying. The question of growth should always be how many and by when. Jaycees are good for communities and good for individuals. From that viewpoint, recruiting young men into our organization becomes the obvious thing to do. How ~tanl Ja)"cees Should Your Chapter Have? There is no magic formula to determine the number of members a chapter should have. Some Jaycees use the size of the community as the determining factor. Others consider their last year's membership. Still, others consider what they can effectively manage. All of these considerations have a tendency to limit the size of a chapter. Here are some questions you should answer before arriving at your membership goaL I. If you had unlimited manpower, what projects doCs your community need? 2. How many projects can you reasonably expect each member to work on? 3. How many Jaycees will it take to run those projects? 4. How many of your Jaycees are lost each year through age limits, moving, etc.? 5. Have you recruited all of the eligible men in your community? 6. Should there be more than one Jaycee chapter in the community? After you've decided your membership goal based on a logical thought-process, you are set to begin the recruitment process.
The Membership Project. Each chapter should develop a membership plan. That plan should use the same procedures as any other project your chapter has. Look at the Chairman's Planning Guide and follow those steps to the successful completion of your membership project. To help you be more successful with your membership project, use these ideas: I. Recruit the number of new members your chapter needs on a monthly basis if possible. Your activation programs are more effective on a '"few at a time basis." Plus, it is easier to recruit a few members a month as opposed to all of your new members at once. 2. Make up a list of prospective members - complete with addresses and telephone numbers. 3. Obtain a copy of The U.S. Jaycees' Recruitment ManuaJ available from The U.S. Jaycees Sales Catalog. This manuaJ is a guide your chapter should use to teach each member how to recruit. 4. Stan your chapter's year with a membership seminar for your officers. Then break the chapter down into ~ma1l groups and conduct a membership seminar for them. Use The U.S. Jaycees Recruitment Manual, Extension Manual, Chapter President's Handbook and this Officers' & Directors' Guide as resources. 5. SpeaJc to your members about recruiting new members, retaining old members and starting new chapters at least once a month. Give them ideas on "how to", and ask them for other new ideas.
Finding Prospective Members
Prospective Jaycres are everywhere. More than 98% of our potential members have yet to be asked to join. Here are some areas your chapter may want to review. 1. BM.smess a"" lNiMsITiaI Firms. Contact the top executives and schedule a meeting to discuss the advanfa8es of Jaycee leadership training. Be sure your pre· sentation is well-planned and emphasiu-s the benefits to both employer and employee, particularly employer. Many firms sponsor as many as 15 to 50 members in Jaycee chapters. 2. Nnv ResUinJts. Establish an ag~ment with your community's "WelconY Wagon" to have members of your Jaycee chapter assist in welcoming new members to the community ... especially those of Jaycee age. 3. Mmtbn-ship &oth. An effective way of getting the chapter name before the public and prOSpective members is with a membership booth. The best locations for membership booths are in malls, shopping centers, or on sidewalks with ~vy pedestrian tcaf- . fie. The best times for nYmbership booths are usually Friday evening and all day Saturday.
VOIn' /Ugistraticm. On file, in every county courthouse, are voter registration lists containing the names, addresses, and ages of every registered voter in that county. Some counties have these names available on IBM sheets, for which a minimal charge is usuaUy made to get a copy. Send a mass mailing to those voters of Jaycee age and ask them to join your chapter. 5. CMrrmI Projects, Assign at least one member to be responsible for recruiting while your chapter runs a community project (e.g., car wash, dunk tank, haunted house, bike safety training). 6. YOIIr Pmml Membership. The best source of new members is your current membership, if you give them the proper motivation. Many times, your current members claim they don't know any prospects. However, ask them abour the young men: a. They work with.
b. They know who are just back from military service or college. c. Who live in their neighborhood. d. Who work for other firms they deal with - clOthing stores, department stores, banks and so on. e. Who attend their church or Sunday school. f. Who are their business competitors. Asking current members about these and other sources of new members may be the motivation your membership needs to go out and recruit. 7, NftII Members. Thcy know and associate with people who are unknown to others in your chapter. Always ask your new members to suggest the names of friends who might be interested in joining your chapter. Mter all. that is one of the four requirements for Springboard. 8. City s.m,nu. Your community mayor, councilmen, policemen, and firemen are excellent resources. Each has a special project they would like to see the Jaycees get involved with. 9. CJnnr:iJa, An excellent resource is your local minisrerial association. Door-Io-Door. Using cwo man teams visit sub-divisions looking for tricycles, bikes, swing sets or toys. These are usually good indications of where Jayceeage couples live. 11. Big Wh«J Raffk. Raffle a Big Wheel at a local business. Ask for father's name and address on entry form so you can follow-up with a personal visit. 12. jayc""1s. Involve your local Jayceene chapter in your membership drives. You may be pleasantly surprised by the number of Jaycees your Jayceettes can recruit. 10.
Howsty - No matter what you say, make it the truth. Nothing will be more harmful to your success or your chapter's success than dishonesty. If you do not know the answer to I question. say so. There is no need to make up an untruth. Put yourself in the prospect's position. What would you do if you discovered an outright lie? & YOII1W!f - In order to be most effective, you should be natural. By being narural, you become more sincere and believable. People who are not themselves are easily noticed and, to a certain degree, are distrusted. Not everyone has the narural easy flow of conversation which so many times is associated with successful salesmanship. You can successfullyexpress yourself without trying to be something you are nor. All it takes is a sincere effort, a little common sense, and some practice. Knowledge - You must d~eJop a definition of Jaycees that reflects the organization's philosophy. A good philosophy might be, 'Jaycees Is Leadership Training Through Community Development." Be prepared to answer questions about the definition of Jaycees. Have a good genera] knowledge of your chaprer's history, budget, activities, and membership. Be familiar with your chapter, state, and national organization funcrions. The information is available from state officers, state headquarters, or The U.S. Jaycees Headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Be careful with your knowledge. Too much could be as harmful as too litde. The idea is to recruit someone into the organization, not baffle them with mind-boggling facts and statistics. You need the knowledge to answer questions, not impress him with your intel1cct. 'There is no need to give a fuJJ orientation while recruiting; that is done after he becomes a Jaycee:' Alliblde - Artirude is the always-important factor in any effOrt. The need to be enthused about your product i5 necessary. but especially so in recruiting a new Jaycee. You want to communicate to your prospect the need for him to join and the action-producing artirude that wiHcaUsehim to pay his dues. By showing a sincere. determined effort to give the prospect the best view of Jaycees he can get. you show your enthusiasm. lislnling - Be sure to listen to what your prospect is saying. Remember, he is motivated to ask questions about Jaycees because of his own interests. If you do not give him the opportUnity to ask questions, you cannot find out what he is interested in. More importantly, you will lose his artention. A good way to remind yourself to listen is to ask questions. A question wiH require an answer. An answer will require you to listen. The recruitment ofJaycees is nor a one-way street. Jaycees are for participants. Borh parties must be aJJowed to speak and listen. The successful recruiters are those who do more listening than talking. The technique you use while recruiting is up to you. Th~ more comfortable you are with your presemation, the easier recruiting will be. The foHowing five basic steps are used by most successful recruiters.
Recruiting Techniques
There are basic ruJes you should follow as a Jaycee recruiter. These rules wiU help to eliminate obstacles and increase your confidence in your ability to recruit new members. Always remember the following:
1"lrfxiIKlicm. 1. Your name. 2. Your chapter. 3. What you're doinS'
Fmd OIIt his pnwna/ ;"formaticm. 1. Where he works. 2. His hobbies. 3. Information about his family. (You need ro tie all of these things together and ra.Uc in terms of his interests.) TJ/ him about Jayues using what YOll fcnmd 0lIl about him. 1. All three sides of the Jaycee triangle. 2. Socials.
(Anythi"8 he wants to hear pertaining ro his interests.) Gn prosP«t 10 agr_ with YOll. 1. Ask questions that he has to answer yes roo (If he is interested in spores, tell him about the Jaycees' bowling, softball or foorbal1 teams, and about the little league teams Jaycees sponsor or work with.) 1. Ask him to join.
2. Fill out application.
V. CJou.
Example: David, I am sure you will agree that there are some things that could be done to make Podunck a better place to raise a family. You would most likely agree that the young people are one of the greatest resources Podunck has. • Close By now your prospect should be sold on Jaycees. All that is left is signing him up, and you can't do that without asking for his dues. Example: This is what the Jaycees are doing. We are taking the greatest resource Podunck has and putting it to work making this a better place to work and raise a family. All it takes for you to get involved is 525.00. Or, David, I need your address and phone number, if you would just fill this out. (hand him an application). Now, all J need is a check for 525.00 to get you involved. How to Handle Objections. The following section is an excerpt from The U.S. Jaycee Recruitment Manual. These are the most common reasons given for not joining. Use these ideas to help you and your chapter think of more. Reasons for Not Joining: "1 don't hOl'e timr right now," This objection is the most common. While it may be true in some cases, more than likely it is not. Explain that everyone has the same amount of time - 24 hours each day. The difference lies in priorities. A person fills his time schedule with all those activities that he has to do and wants to do. All the chapter wants is a chance to influence his priorities. Your family and job obviously come first on the list, but there is a place for Jaycees. Review his time schedule with him. Ask him questions about what he does with his time. Do not make judgement if he wastes time or not. Just pointing out his activities and making him say how much time he spends on an activity, he will realize he does have some extra time. "1 Belong To Too Many Organi;ation~ XO\1'," Question the prospect about the organizations he belongs to and his activities in them. Many people belong to several organizations, but few are really active in all of them. A very good answer to the objection of "belonging to too many organizations" is: "That is exactly why we are asking you. Because of all the training you have had in other organizations, you could be of help to our chapter. Your expertise in leadership positions could be passed on to our members." "J Can't Afford Tn Join." This objection is usually a secondary objection after you have eliminated others. Make arrangements for a payas-you-participate plan with your chapter. Then divide the dues up into equal monthly payments. If the dues are $24.00 a year - "Can you afford $2.00 per month?"
Introduction Tell the prospect who you are, who you represent, and something about what you are doing. Example: Hi! My name is Hiram Hornblast, rm with the Podunck Jaycees. I would like to take just a minute of your time to tell you about the Jaycees. • Personal Information Ask the prospect several questions about his work, family, hobbies, etc. You will use the information from this section later in your presentation. Example: David, do you live in Podunck? Where do you work? Do you have a family? What do you like to do in your 'spare time? • Jaycee Information Find out what he knows about the Jaycees. Then, using what you learned about him in step no. 2, tell him about the Jaycees. Try to make this section brief. Tell him what you can, in less than 2 minutes. Example: Have you heard about the Jaycees? Well, we are a leadership training organization. Our goal is to develop the abilities of our members through their involvement in our community improvement projects. For example, David, you mentioned you have two boys. Do they play football? Well, we sponsor the Pee Wee Football program here in town. rm sure you can see the benefit from this program is the experience and growth our members receive from being involved in the various aspects of this project. • Prospect Agreeing In this section you are preparing the prospect for the close. You want to establish a positive, or "'yes" attitude. You can do this by asking several questions with obvious, positive answers.
3. Ask for money for dues. 4. Offer to pick him up for his first meeting.
Another might be (many chapters do this), "Our chapter pays your registration fee to state meetings four times a year - that amounts to around 575.00 a year. Or each member is treated by the chapter to several social functions during the year that pay back your dues and more." "You JU.fl Want To Sign Me Up For The A ward You Get Or For The Numbers." Anyone who has been asked several times to join any organization and has refused will give this objection. "It is true we receive awards for signing people up. It is also true we need more membe~ or numbe~." The desire to perform is increased by an incentive. That is a basic part of our free enterprise system. The recognition of membe~ is important to the chapter. So many times a pe~on's efforts go unnoticed. Jaycee awards allow for this re;~ognition. You can receive awards and recognition for participating in our chapter when you join. So we are interested in awards and incentives. "Jaycees Don't Do Anything I Am Interested In." Ask questions about his interests. "What activities are you interested in? Does our youth camp interest you at all?" As he describes his interests to you, fit them into the projects your chapter already has. By asking questions, you have encouraged your prospect to talk about things he likes, which will help to get his attention back. If he brings up an interest or an idea your chapter does not have a related project for, ask him to come to the meeting and propose it. "I Don't Want To Join Right No .••. '." The new recruiter might take this statement for the truth and move on. However, the old time recruiter will listen more closely. The prospect said, "I don't want to join right now." He did not say he would not join. As a matter of fact, he just said he would join. Now the question turns from will he join to when will he join. Excuses or Cop-Outs. Excuses may be offhand remarks by the prospect but could be harmful to your recruiting efforts if not answered properly. Here is a list of the most common hea~ay excuses that fail to qualify as reasons for not joining. I. None of the Jaycees I know go to meetings, 2. Jaycees are too cliquish, and I am not in the group. J. Just a few guys do all of the work. 4. I heard it is a party chapter. 5. Most of the meetings last an hour and then everyone drinks until 1:00 in the morning. 6. I don't play cards. i. Too many teachers, banke~, farme~, etc. 8. I hear all the Jaycees fool around. 9. Jaycees rip off the community. 10. I am not good at knocking on doo~ and collecting money.
Your answers to the above statements should be cautious since the prospect could know more than you. A reply like the following is appropriate for all of the hearsay excuses: "Well. there may be some truth in that stat~ ment. But Jaycees do enough good to far outweigh any half-truth. Remember, a half-truth is also a half-untruth. Is that statement really a reason not to join and to miss out on all the benefits we just talked about? You can think of all kinds of examples of gossip that turned out to be som~ thing good instead of bad." WAYS TO GET A PROSPECTIVE JA YCEE TO A MEETING. I. Invite a dignitary to speak at your meeting. (Use lots of publicity.) Invite the mayor, local legislator, a sports celebrity or a panel of politicians. 2. Provide all the prospects with something free - i.e., a free chili supper, casino night, beer, films, steak fry, dance, outside barbeque, family picnic, or a free chance to win a raffle. Give a weekend at a resort to the 30th prospect to walk in the door. Host a sporting event between the prospective member and Jaycee members. Example: softball or basketball game, trap shooting, hunting event, card games, have an indoor putting contest. Have a on~ handed outdoor putting tournament. Rent a bus and pick up prospective membe~ all on one night. Put a sign on the bus, publish what you are going to do in the paper or on radio. Provide a service for the prospects - mow lawns, rake leaves, paint rooms, etc. One Jaycee recruits, the others perform the service. Have police arrest prospects ... and ask the prospect to join. Have Jaycees, with their chapter vests on, to do the recruiting. You may have to recruit a policeman fIrst. Set up a telephone campaign ... five Jaycees call same prospect within one hour on the same night all asking to join - the last caller asks him if anyone has asked him to join lately. Get pictures of a group of prospects and make a "Most Wanted Poster" to display around the city. Kidnap the kids and wife of a prospect ... treat them to a meal or movie while you treat the prospect to a beer or soft drink and recruit him into your chapter. Big Wheel - put a Big Wheel tricycle into a local supermarket and give away free raille tickets. On the application, have a space for the father's name and address and when you get the raille tickets, you simply have additional names of prospects to contact to invite to a "M-Night". Haunted House Greeter - greet people as they go into the Haunted House. Then as they come out and are excited, hand them something to take home with the compliments of the Jaycees. Also talk to them about what your chapter is doing in the community and ask if they would like to help.
8. 9.
Sporting Events - hand out applications to prospects at a local sporting event with a special invitation to a meeting. Welcome Wagon - present each newcomer to your city with a packet of Jaycee material Be sure to include a meeting schedule and personal invitation to come to the meeting; all with an offer to help get the new family settled.
Co.Iab a.J l~
To Aid Growth: Team competition among members - new members V5, old members, board of directors V5. members, wives vs. husbands, or Jayceerres V5. Jaycees. The winner is determined by the most members recruiced. A contest where the losers must wear a dress to a
meeting or put on a skit, take a pie in the face, provide the winner with. free dinner, ere. Send. newsletter to all eligible prospective Jaycees.

Tips To Help With Recruiting: 1. Rent a billboard to display the membership goals of the chapter. 2. Designate a prospect as the "Secret Prospect." The Jaycee who recruits that prospect gers the prize or award (can be in area of town that has no Jaycees). 3. Have a regional or district "M"-Night. Invite all the chapters and publicize in all newspapers. 4. Bring state officers in' to help with one-on-Qne recruiting. S. Have a scavenger hunt for prospects of vacied occupations. Have the members bring their prospects to a meeting. The team with the widest variety of occupations wins. 6. Application in pocket - issue an application to all members. Fine eou.:h member 25' ar (he next meeting if he does not have an application or a member signed up. 7. Project Pass-Out Sheet - make a list of all the: projects your chapter does with a one or two sentence explanation. Also, have a membership application printed on the back. Then, give a few to each member to aid him in his recruitment effortS. 8. Marble in pocket - issue a marble to each member, the larger the better. He must carry it at all times to remind him to sign up new members. If he does not have it, he receives a 2S¢ fine at the next meeting.
Dart Board - fix up a dart board with one, five, and ten dollar bills taped to it. If you bring a guest, you get to mrow one dart. If you sign up a new member, you get two throws. Whatever the dart hits, you get to keep. Superstar Competition - set up criteria for being a superstar by using SPOKE and SPARK Plug forms as a guide. Give extra credit for bringing in new members. Hospital ID Bracelet - issue one to each member. They must wear it until they sign up a new member. Issue at least three times and save old ones in a bowl for display at membership meetings.

"Alice from wonderland now in our land ;) If you reading this then you sure one of those who fell into the spell and visited her stream :)
I have seen quite few 365 day project but Alice is a star among them,in the world where ppl invest in pricy gear .. This girl has used the basic of gears and come up with such astounding shots :)
She has another unique talent.. she is fresh with ideas each shot of her is fresh as it gets and in the land of copycats she does bring her own perspective. And one thing I have always noticed in her shots is that she is not in any hurry .... each shot has a calming soothing effect on the viewer thats a rare talent :)
Thanks for bring a smile on our face with such beautiful SP and lovely quotes to go along with them , I have seen such a lovely girl grow up to be so smart and grounded in these few years of you in flickr..and ur parents sure proud of u for right reason :)

"Alice is the most amazing flickrette ♥
Her photostream is filled with beautiful portraits and still life photos. She is actually the reason why I wanted to start my own still life series. I truly appreciate the beauty she brings here to flickr. She is creative and original and I certainly look up to her.
Not only is she a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful flickr friend. She doesn't mind helping others (as she has helped me) and I cannot be any more appreciative.

First of all, Alice's bokeh shots are always gorgeous, and I admire her ability to find such fitting titles and descriptions for them :P Even her simplest SP's are classy and creative, and I find myself disappointed when she doesn't upload a daily 365 pic. All in all, I feel lucky to be able to call Alice a friend not only on Flickr, but in real life as well :)"

Please explain game types. Thank you.
What do you mean? There's Online Chess, Chess960, Live Chess modes... which ones do you need more info about? :)
When you write game types, are you referring to:
Open games?
Closed Games?
Semi-closed Games?
or are your referring to player game types:
Positional players?
Tactical players?
or is it something else?
Oh, I assumed the question was much more limited in scope. :p
or as I consider my games in two categories. horrible games and lousy games
Same here, except I would add, "the ones where I got lucky".
Well Angel. . .
There is only one REAL game of chess: the standard and noble game (noble because it has not been touched by the blasted dice or playing cards).
In chess.com you find a Blitz chess and a 960 chess (I think that is the name) which are sort of "pinball" games. In Blitz you play agaisnt the time (the shorter the time per move the "blitziest" the game is) . The other I do not know or have bothered to know what are. And there is another.
These are entertainment games. Like if for fun we play baseball with four outfilders or basketball with a soccer ball.
--according as to how you start the game (openings) you may name the game differently: Ruy Lopez. Viena, Bishop, etc
.—according as to how the opponent answer you have the (defenses) you have the french, the Petroff, etc defenses
--if you make a special sacrifice of a piece you have the "gambits"
Any other information? Just ask.

I am working to create a Java based web app that also has ability to parse XML files.
What I am looking for now is, a java library or framework that allows me to do the following--
(1) Display a tree structure displaying all elements in the XML being currently filled in by the end user.
(2) Offer code completion- I have a list of possible constructs that are permitted in my XML...The library should enable code-completion as a user is typing in the XML.
I would be using the library/framework that does the above, in a java web app - I will be using GWT for the editor.

Warping your beat with Space Designer
Warping your beat with Space Designer
Let's look at how to warp your beat and make a pulsing groove with cool rhythmic variations with the Warp settings in Space Designer. This track is using literally one drum loop that I copied and transformed with different factory presets in Space Designer. Let's hear that one loop right here. I'll solo the track on top. (music playing) That's the original beat. So I'll insert Space Designer from the Reverb folder.
And let's go into the Library, and I will scroll down to the bottom of the presets and go into this folder of warped effects, all extremely creative. One of the most instantly powerful is this folder on top, the Drone Tones. Let's keep soloing that one beat, and I'm just going to switch which presets we're listening to it through. (music playing) I will just bypass Space Designer to prove all of these musical pitched overtones that are coming out of Space Designer.
Right here in the plugin I'm bypassing it. Here is our beat. Take it out of By...
Warping your beat with Space Designer provides you with in-depth training on Audio + Music. Taught by Dot Bustelo as part of the Logic Production Techniques: Making Beats

It's the International Moron Patrol!
Saving your school from gun-toting goth kids is just the tip of this iceburg!
Little Fighter Alpha
Created with Little Fighter game sprites, this series is like a hardcore in-game cinema.
Pretty fun concept, but rather buggy and unpolished. As far as bugs go, I've found three major ones immediately:
1. When two zombies walk into the same tile, one zombie disappears (game seems to treat it as one zombie then)
2. If you hit the wall, you die
3. If zombies hit the wall, you see them on the wall tile, then flash back to the previous one
If the bugs are worked out and the game gets polished up, it'll be pretty good!
Actually it is not supposed to depict a wall, but rather a void, the graphics really need work.
A challenging game. Simple. Fun but frustrating. Not the best graphics but they work for this game. Needs something to make it more "wow". Overall, not the worst, not the best, and it could be a bit better.

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/09/14 -- PanTerra Resource Corp. ("PanTerra" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:PRC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an arm's length industry participant (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") to acquire (the "Acquisition") certain natural gas assets located in the Western Canadian foothills areas of Copton and Narraway, Alberta (the "Assets"), effective as of June 1, 2014, for a purchase price of $2.4 million, payable in cash, subject to adjustments. The Acquisition is subject to standard industry closing conditions. The purchase price for the Acquisition will be funded by existing corporate funds and is expected to close on or about August 6, 2014.
The Acquisition
The Assets consist of 5,638 net acres of developed land, 3,070 net acres of undeveloped land and related producing infrastructure in the foothills region of Alberta and British Columbia. The Assets include a 40% working interest in a gas plant at Copton which has strategic significance for future development plans by Panterra within its much larger asset acquisition previously announced on June 12, 2014. The Assets are currently producing approximately 120 BOE per day (100% natural gas). PanTerra has identified several potential unrisked and unbooked locations included with the Assets, based on bypass pay and regional structural understanding of the stacked reservoirs
About PanTerra
PanTerra is a junior public oil and gas company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "PRC", with conventional and unconventional assets in Western Canada. The technical team has worked together for over a decade in the Foothills Region of Western Canada, through two successful, publicly traded companies. The unique skills and repeat success at exploiting a complex, potentially prolific play type are fundamental ingredients for a successful growth-oriented company in Western Canada. Corporation information can be found at: www.panterraresource.com.
Caution Respecting BOE
In this press release, the abbreviation BOE means a barrel of oil equivalent derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of 6 Mcf of gas to 1 bbl of oil (6 Mcf:1 bbl). BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf:1 bbl, utilizing a conversation ratio on a 6 Mcf of gas to 1 bbl of oil basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
This press release contains certain statements or disclosures relating to PanTerra, the Acquisition and the Assets that are based on the expectations of PanTerra as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to PanTerra which may constitute forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. All such statements and disclosures, other than those of historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results or developments that PanTerra anticipates or expects may, or will occur in the future (in whole or in part) should be considered forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terms such as "forecast", "future", "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "potential", "enable", "plan", "continue", "contemplate", "pro-forma", or other comparable terminology. In particular, this press release makes reference to the expected completion of the Acquisition, the satisfaction of industry standard conditions to the closing of the Acquisition, the strategic significance of the Acquisition for future development plans and the identification of potential unrisked and unbooked locations included among the Assets. Readers are cautioned that there is no assurance that the Acquisition will proceed. Certain conditions must be met before the Acquisition can be completed and there is therefore no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed in the time frame anticipated or at all. Many factors could cause the performance or achievement by PanTerra to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Corporation is not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press release or to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in the Corporation's expectations and the Corporation disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws.
