Made for my own birthday. Chocolate cake, marshmallow filling, covered with MMF. I wanted to do/decorate with something else, but ran out of time and had to use leftover carnations. It tasted amazing though! First time with MMF, will be using it again!

organiK Revolution has been created in today's world where we are faced with our biggest challenge, the consequences of our damage to our environment and our climate. Although the climate change represents the sum of all the environmental and social damage done on our planet over the last century, the apparel industry has long played a heavy role. With the Earth's natural balance in jeopardy, organiK Revolution's mission is to prove that it is possible to produce a clothing line without detrimental effects to the Earth's soil, water, inhabitants, and climate, with out ever compromising style or comfort.
While the green revolution starts with organically and ethically made apparel, we will continue to push the barrier by implementing a sustainable approach to all stages including manufacturing, shipping, and transportation. With this practical solution and the drive for change, we are taking immediate action to combat this crisis.
Get dressed… this is the revolution!

The first Great Travel Experiment is over and it all worked better than I could have hoped (and I'm a wildly optimistic person.) Travel with handmade film is identical to travel with any other kind of film. At no time was there a sense that I was 'working alternative.' It helped that I worked with TechPan sheet film for years. The film I was using last week exposes almost identically. My old habits kicked in and I didn't even use an exposure meter. Much better latitude than TechPan at development time, though. I can highly recommend the experience to anyone willing to embrace slow photography.
Best to you all, whatever your photographic (or musical ) pursuits. carpe diem.

North Carolina Association of Educators held a protest titled ?Our kids are worth a penny" in front of Legislative Building in Raleigh. NCAE members, who have been collecting pennies as a symbolic gesture to support maintaining the 1-cent temporary sales tax to help balance the budget and fund public education, brought buckets of pennies to Raleigh. Photographed in front, Carson Jones, left, 8, Jasmine Moore, 6, Julia Frutig, 7, and Debbie Kelly, teacher's assistant from Moore County.

A North Carolina state government budget written by Republicans that cuts taxes, scales back environmental controls and trims courts and dozens of agencies became law Wednesday despite Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's arguments it would eliminate tens of thousands of jobs.
The two-year spending plan took effect after the Republican-led Senate agreed Wednesday afternoon to override Perdue's veto on a party-line vote of 31-19. The House mustered a similar majority earlier Wednesday after midnight with the help of five Democrats.
The override means the budget, which spends $19.7 billion ...

Today our school and district came together to find short term solutions to resolve overcrowding in the TK & K programs. That was a WIN for the community and school. Longer term - we need better planning to ensure that future classes dont encounter the rough start we had this year. I look forward to the new year. Support our kids!

World's largest Zeppelin pulls into Milwaukee Thursday, offers rides
All right, no snarky remarks like: "What's that big blimp in the sky?"
That would be a "Zeppelin," a Zeppelin, pulling into Milwaukee's Timmerman Airport Thursday at about 5:30 a.m. It's the Farmers Airship, the world's largest, and one of only two Zeppelins in the world. The airship is on a national tour, the first-ever Zeppelin tour of the United States, says Beth Pursley, the airship's spokeswoman. »Read Full Article(21)
Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

Rep Tierney (thank you very much Mr. Tierney), exposes and destroys Darell Issa's credibility, whatever was left of it which is already pretty small!!!
Punked big time and exposed for the cherry picking of interview transcripts!
"House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has a favorite trick: his staff puts together a partial transcript of closed-door testimony, they edit it in a misleading way to advance a far-right narrative, and then they look for a news organization wholl fall for the scam.
This week, the trick involved Henry Chao, HealthCare.gov s chief project manager at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and an alleged memo involving security risks. CBS News fell victim to Issas swindle, and as was first reported right here on Maddow Blog, the story was quickly proven fraudulent.
At an Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-Va.) questioned Chao on this point directly, made clear that the CBS report was wrong, and saw Chao explain that his words had been rearranged by the partial transcript Issa released.
But wait, theres more.
Issa also insisted this week that the White House directed the CMS to disable the so-called anonymous shopper function of the Affordable Care Acts website in order to prevent sticker shock. Howd that work out?
Three weeks ago, Issa alleged that the White House ordered contractors to disable the anonymous shopper function that would allow people to compare plans.The White House was telling them they needed these changes, he told CBS News. Why? He told Fox News that the administration buried the information about the high cost of Obamacare so that consumers wouldnt get sticker shock.
In testimony Wednesday, however, an administration IT expert testified that he ordered the shopper function disabled until defects could be repaired and that there had been no political interference.
So when Chairman Issa stated on national television that the White House ordered you . . . to disable the shopper function in September for political reasons, to avoid consumer sticker shock, thats not true, is it? asked Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.).
Issa immediately objected, but it was too late Issas lie (which is to say, his latest in a series of lies) had been exposed. The Republican said Tierney was mischaracterizing his claims, so Tierney read Issas discredited arguments out loud.(See the video below.)
Im sure Issa and his office will continue to feed bogus stories to unsuspecting journalists. Im less sure why anyone would keep falling for the same nonsense from someone lacking all credibility."
That's factually debunking a partisan hack ON RECORD!!!

So idiot boy. Now that the Great Obama has gone on national television and admitted that Obamacare sux and nothing related to Obamacare works are you still going to argue about how great it is?
#497 Nov 14, 2013
Where are you ranting boy?
Is it you can't admit that all your idiotic posts were lies and your Democrat heroes passed a shit bill that is having a negative effect on millions of Americans who instead of recieving affordable healthcare are losing healthcare?

Of course he's going to argue that it is still a good law! He's an Obamcrat...

The Obama Administration has said they will veto whatever the Republicans in the House come up with, even though they had already come up with the same thing Obama just did.
So Obama has now made the situation even worse instead of allowing the delays that the Republicans were fighting for back during the partial government shutdown.
Absolutely disgraceful.
#502 Nov 15, 2013
Of course the entrepreneurs of outrage are going to claim the world is coming to an end, in fact, have been saying that since before signup even started.
There are going to be many changes needed for it to work better in the end, same thing happened to Romneycare here.
The question is, why are Republicans seeking to keep 35 million people from getting the insurance they need?
#503 Nov 15, 2013
1) I work, unlike you so I can't be here 100% of the time, like you, who doesn't work.
2) Show me one lie I posted?
3) Why did you stop spreading the GOTP?

What a surprise from the ACORN and felons hired for these jobs.
#505 Nov 15, 2013
Ok now you've done what you always do, over reach!
"James E. O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is a conservative American activist who has produced audio and video recordings of staged encounters with public figures and workers in a variety of organizations, purportedly showing abusive or illegal behavior by representatives of those organizations. He gained national attention for his release of video recordings of workers at ACORN offices in 2009, his arrest in early 2010 at the office of Senator Mary Landrieu in a failed attempt to record staff conversations, and release of videos of NPR executives in 2011. Investigations by both legal authorities and journalists have found O'Keefe has "selectively," "heavily," or "deceptively" edited secretly recorded videos to leave a false impression and present the subjects in the worst possible light.[1][2][3][4][5]"
Do you really want to get back in bed with this guy? Good choice!!
And I'm sorry, no matter what happens to this Law, none of it vindicates all your other Teabagger BS lies and distortions and lack of credibility. Nice try but you're still the same Teabagger BS'ers who think, Obama is an illegitimate President, you still think he is a Muslim hell bent on destroying the Country, you still think he is a Kenyan, you still have all your same Teabagger beliefs that simply makes you out of touch with reality.
You still think James O' Keefe's doctored videos are real and not fabricated!! This will blow up in your faces just like Darrell Issa's BS attempts to cherry pick testimony and LIE on national television!!!
So you might want to take a few steps back since you still have zero integrity and are only slinging as much mud as your grubby little hands can gather.
#506 Nov 15, 2013
Right here Factless, and you're still Factless!!
Sure, we'll make changes to fix the law, we're certainly not going to allow a vote that renders it incapabale of working, that's the difference between the 2 proposals.
And, YOU'RE the one who runs away Factless, just like you did tha day before today when you tried to take the high road and claim YOU discovered the donut hole problem, only, you forgot, the ACA will fix it and so, off you went waiting until there is some other distraction for you to hide behind, and sure enough, here you are now!!!
You have no more credibility now thatn you did a few days ago, you're still a Teabagger, you're still lead by your ears by Faux Snews and you are still personally, a lying sack o' shit so...

Nope, you've said nothing. Just more BS faux SnewsbubblebotlinkBS same as you always do!

Reminds me of a Kivey flapping around on the road, trying to figure out how it happened...good for a few laughs though.
Thanks for the laughs Reality...you are a good distraction from the boredom that sometimes strikes during different times of my workday...beyond that, you're as useless as Lynch.
As soon as I mentioned you were silent because Obama is getting his ass handed to him even by members of his own party, you bit the hook hard.
back to your normal...you're a liar...you're a liar...I proved you are...I proved you are...
Hilarious and wonderful for killing the boredom...thank you.

That's cute except for one thing, YOU'RE the one who trotted around GOTP for me never realizing until O told you, that you had been handed the fish hook and you put in in your mouth all by yourself!!
That's about as stupid as you can get, the fish who put himself on the hook!!!!

And the Sabotage campaign continues, morally bankrupt teapublicans continue apace!
"Of all the things conservatives have done to sabotage and derail the Affordable Care Act, and is this a long list nothing seems quite as offensive as the rights campaign to encourage those without coverage to stay uninsured, on purpose, to advance an ideological cause.
Conservatives launched organized efforts to convince the uninsured to voluntarily refuse to enroll because if fewer people participate in the system, costs would soar, and in theory the system could become unsustainable. Struggling families will of course be completely screwed in this scenario, but for the right, thats a small price to pay and a sacrifice theyre willing to see others make.
Eric Lach, referencing a report from the Alaska Dispatch, noted yesterday that the campaign is still very much underway. Indeed, it appears far-right Floridians are now lobbying Alaskans to stay uninsured on purpose.
The websites, dontenrollalaska.org and knowthefactsalaska.org , strike different tones and do not identify their creators, but they share similar layouts and were created on the same day in September. Facebook pages for both groups were also created on the same day, and, according to the Dispatch, television ads for both groups have been running during the same commercial breaks in Alaska.
And while the websites dont identify the creators or backers of either group, a representative from the Alaska chapter of the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity told the Dispatch that a group called the Foundation for Government Accountability was directly involved in both websites.
Based in Naples, Fla., the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit that promotes public policies that achieve limited, constitutional government and a robust economy that will be an engine for job creation across the states. One of the foundations directors is Robert Levy, the chairman of the board of the Cato Institute, the Washington, D.C. think tank with a long and complicated relationship with the Koch brothers.
Even by the standards of contemporary conservatism, theres something morally bankrupt about wealthy far-right forces targeting struggling Americans and telling them to go without access to basic health on purpose apparently because they dont like the president.
The debate over health care reform has never been especially responsible or high-minded, but this is uniquely ugly.
Indeed, freshman Sen. Angus King, a mild-mannered independent from Maine, recently expressed his understandable contempt for those behind schemes like these.
Thats a scandal those people are guilty of murder in my opinion, King told Brian Beutler in September.Some of those people they persuade are going to end up dying because they dont have health insurance. For people who do that to other people in the name of some obscure political ideology is one of the grossest violations of our humanity I can think of.

Somerset Retain Top Trophy (14.03.2015.)

In last week's position Rudd played 1.Rxd4! threatening both f2 and e5. 1…Nd2 (If 1…exd4 2.Bxd4 R2f7 3.Nb6+ Kb8 4.Be5 winning). 2.Rxd2 Rxd2 3.Rc4 Qxc4 4.Bxc4 Rxg2 5.Nb6+ and mate will follow after Qxe5+.
Here is another world premier 2-mover from reader Dave Howard of East Harptree.
Cornwall Beat Devon (14.02.2015.)
Cornwall met their only neighbours on Saturday in the annual Inter-County match, beating Devon by 8½-7½. This was their first victory over Devon in 23 years and only the third since 1973. Individual scores were as follows (Devon names 1st in each pairing)
1. D. Mackle 1-0 J. Menadue 2. J. Stephens 0-1 T. Slade. 3. S. Homer 0-1 M. Hassall 4. P. Sivrev 0-1 G. Healey 5. J. Wheeler 1-0 Csuri. 6. J. Fraser 1-0 D. Saqui 7. J. Underwood 1-0 R. Kneebone. 8. D. Regis 0-1 J. Hooker. 9. A. W. Brusey ½-½ S. Bartlett 10. B. W. Hewson ½-½ L. Retallick 11. M. Shaw 0-1 J. Wilman. 12. G. Body 0-1 G. Trudeau. 13. W. Ingham ½-½ J. Nicholas 14. T. F. Thynne ½-½ R.

This was the second game to finish and seemed to galvanise the other Cornish players to a great collective effort. It contains what Jeremy Menadue called "what they used to call a gold coins on the board moment". Notes kindly supplied by Menadue and the winner.
White: M. Shaw (173) Black: John Wilman (150).
King's Indian Defence [A48]
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.c3 b6 4.Bf4 g6 5.e3 Bg7 6.Nbd2 A London system. 6…cxd4 7.exd4 0–0 8.Bd3 Bb7 A quiet start. 9.Nc4 Rather committal. 9.Qe2; 9.0–0. 9…d6 10.0–0 Nh5 A typical plan against the London. 11.Bg5 h6 12.Bd2 b5 13.Ne3 this looks a great square for the knight. 13…Qd7 14.Nh4? Decentralising and weakening the d4 square. Better might have been 14.Qb3 with a double attack on g6 and b5. 14…Nf4 covering the g6 weakness. 15.Bc2 e5 16.Ng4 White seems to be building up pressure on Black's king. 16…h5 17.Ne3 Qh3!! That gold coins moment! 18.Nf3 Nxg2 The combinations play themselves. 19.Ng5 19.d5 Nf4. 19…Nf4! a memorable move. 20.Re1 White has to play 20.d5 but it's not nice. If 20.Nxh3 Nxh3#. 20…Qh4 The queen knows when it's not wanted. 21.Nf3 Nh3+ 22.Kf1 Of course this is wrong but other king moves also lose. e.g. 22.Kg2 Ng5; 22.Kh1 Nxf2+ 23.Kg1 wins. White resigned before Black could play Qxf2 mate. 0-1.
Dr. Jago's problem last week was solved by 1.Qh3! If 1…Kxd5 or 1…Pe1=Q then 2.Qd3 mates. If Pe1=N to protect d3 then 2.Be6 is also mate.
As today is St. Valentine's Day here is an appropriate 2-mover from the darling of the problem composers a century ago, Devon's own Edith Baird. Can you see how the four islands of pieces spell out the word LOVE?
New Cornish Champion (07.02.2015.)
After several years at Stithians, the Cornish Congress moved back to Truro College last weekend. After 5 rounds the new county champion was James Hooker (Truro) with 4/5 points. 2nd= were Simon Bartlett (Newquay), Lloyd Retallick (Newquay), David Saqui (Falmouth) and Mark Watkins (Camborne), all a half point behind. As champion, Hooker now holds the Emigrant Cup for the first time since his last victory in 2002.
In the Falmouth Cup section for players graded below 145 the winner was 15 year old Richard Stephens (Penryn College) playing in his first tournament.
2nd= were Hamad Aljaber (Falmouth), Mick Hill (Truro), David Jenkins (Camborne), Ian Rescorla (Bude) and Jan Rodrigo (Falmouth) a half point behind on 3½.
The Penwith Cup for players new to tournament chess was shared between the promising junior, Harvey Richings (Marazion School & Camborne), and the editor of Athletics Weekly, Jason Henderson, with 5½/6.
Some of the games will eventually be found on the website cornwallchess.org.uk.
In the meantime, here is one of Hooker's games from 15 months ago, after several years absence from the chess scene.
White: James Hooker. Black: John Wilman.
Indian Defence [A47]
1.d4 Nf6 2.e3 b6 3.Nf3 g6 4.Bd3 Bb7 5.0–0 Bg7 6.Nbd2 0–0 7.e4 d6 8.e5 Ne8 9.e6 f6? It cannot be good to leave the pawn on e6, strangling the life out of any possible defence. 10.Nh4 c5 In view of the e6 pawn, White feels justified in sacrificing a piece in order to break open the king's position. 11.Nxg6 hxg6 12.Bxg6 f5 13.Qh5 Nf6 14.Bf7+ Rxf7 15.Qxf7+ Kh8 16.dxc5 bxc5 17.Qg6 Na6 18.Qxf5 Nc7 19.Nf3 Bxf3 20.Qxf3 Rb8 21.Rb1 Qe8 Black still can't take the e-pawn with 21…Nxe6 because of 22.Qh3+ 22.Re1 Rb6 23.Bd2 Qa4 24.b3 Qg4 25.Qxg4 Nxg4 26.Re4 Nf6 27.Rh4+ Kg8 28.Ba5 Rc6 29.Bxc7 Rxc7 30.c4 Rc8 31.f3 Rf8 32.b4 cxb4 33.Rxb4 1-0 A well-placed knight and bishop is often at least as good as a rook, but here it's the pawns that make the difference. Black hardly has a decent move on the board.
In last week's position, White won quickly after 1.Nd5! attacking the queen and opening lines towards the Black king's position which involve at least heavy material loss.
In tune with the Cornish theme this week, here is a 1944 composition by Dr. Maurice Jago. His most prolific period was during the war when he was a lieutenant in the RAMC, and probably had long periods of inactivity between actions. He was generally attracted by the more exotic forms of problems – helpmates, selfmates, fairy chess, etc. but this is one of his more conventional 2-movers.
WMN Chess Column Suspended (November 2014)
Newspapers all over the country, if not the whole world, are struggling to adapt to the challenges brought about by the new media – multiple channels of 24 hour rolling news - twitface – etc. etc. Added to that, the printed media's lifeblood, advertising income, has been depressed throughout the banking and general financial crisis of recent years.
The Western Morning News cannot be immune to these factors, and must adapt to survive. One thing it has done is to sell off its award-winning flagship offices, built in the shape of a galleon, and move to premises near the docks. Another idea was the addition of a Sunday edition. However, circulation figures are not as predicted, as folk are probably already locked in to their favourite Sunday titles, and loth to either switch or add another paper to the already heavy bundle the paper boy delivers. But the experiment was committed until the end of January 2015 when it will be assessed. Until then, economies have to be made and the cutting in half of the Westcountry Life supplement on a Saturday is one of them.
With it went the chess column. That is the reason it has not appeared since October. In answer to the several enquirers I've already had, I am not too ill to write, or dead – far from it. Not yet, anyway.
The WMN chess column is one of the oldest provincial columns in the country. It started in 1891 under the editorship of Carslake Winter-Wood, writing under the nom de plume "Queen's Knight", in contrast to the contemporary Exeter columnist "King's Knight". In March 1906 the column switched to the Illustrated Western Weeky News. A. R. Cooper ran it from 1927 – 1939. Writing in the March 1939 issue of Chess, the eminent problemist, C. S. Kipping, observed that "the three British columns which have international reputations for their composing tourneys are (1) the Grantham Journal, (2) the Falkirk Herald and (3) the Western Morning News". After the war it was taken on by former British Champion, R. J. Broadbent (1948 & 1950) but it was mostly devoted to problems. That is, until the arrival from Lichfield of J. E. Jones in 1956, who took the paper to task and insisted there should be real local news, so a chess column appeared twice a week, one by Broadbest and a new one by Jones (no relation).
However, Jones ran his column on the same lines as Howard Staunton ran his, a century earlier – that is, as a pulpit from which he would admonish any chess official who could not live up to his own high standards. In 1963 Jones moved away and when Ken Bloodworth took over he was quietly advised to keep it all low key. Which, of course, he did for the next 35 years. When he was approaching his late 80s, he wished to retire, but was keen that there should be no break to give the management an opportunity to end the sequence, and he recommended me to them, and the switch was smoothly made. I have now written 812 weekly columns.
There is now a hiatus until the end of January 2015 when further decisions will be made. If you wish to convey your personal opinion on the future of the column, I'm sure the decision-makers would listen attentively.
Their address is: Western Morning News, Studio 5-11, Millbay Road, Plymouth. PL1 3LF.
Chess Problemist Shot (16.08.2014.)
The one million British and Commonwealth WW1 fatalities cut swathes of heartbreak through every walk of life. Even the esoteric world of chess problemists did not escape.
Witheridge and Bristol's Comins Mansfield, for example, was gassed in the trenches and temporarily blinded, but he survived to become a universally acknowledged genius of the 2-mover.
Less well-known was Lt. Col. George Kirkpatrick Ansell who was killed in the first days of the war. Born in 1872 in Wymering near Portsmouth, the son of a soldier, William and his wife Harriet, he joined the 5th Princess Charlotte of Wales's Dragoon Guards, and served under Baden-Powell in South Africa. In France, two weeks after the declaration of war, the two armies met for the first time at Mons, after which the British sought to make an orderly retreat. On 31st August Ansell's men were settled for the night in the small village of Néry. In the early morning mist of 1st September, a lost battalion of Germans blundered into them and more fighting broke out. Ansell's unit was sent out to attack on the flank, which was an effective counter, and to get a good view of the skirmish he rode to the top of a nearby bluff. However, this made him a perfect target for German snipers and he was shot in the chest and died within 15 minutes, the most senior British officer to be killed at that point.
He is one of 51 Britons buried in Verberie, one of the 65 war cemeteries in the small department of Oise. The full account of what became known as "The Affair at Néry" can readily be found on-line and makes fascinating reading.
He had been a keen composer and publisher of chess problems before enlisting but once in the army his love of horses in general and polo in particular gradually took over.
He left a 9 year old son, Michael, who had a strangely parallel early life. He joined the same regiment as his father, played polo and rode competitively. Early in WW2 he, too, found himself retreating in the face of an advancing German army. He hid in a hayloft, and was shot at by British troops who assumed he was the enemy. As a result he was blinded, but this did not stop his involvement with horses. From his home, Pillhead House, Bideford, Col. Sir Mike Ansell became the driving force of British show jumping and equestrianism in the post war decades, making it a regular feature of TV scheduling.
The answer to last week's position was 1…Rb3+! and if 2.axb3 Ra1 mate.
Here is one of Col. Ansell's early 2-movers.
When Paignton Moved to Torquay (24.08.13.)
Following close on the 100th British Championship comes the 63rd Paignton Congress which starts a week tomorrow. It will be a bit different this year as for the first time it's not being held in Oldway Mansion, nor even in Paignton as it's moving to the Livermead House Hotel, not far from Torquay's Riviera Centre. This is because Oldway is currently being redeveloped by the Akkeron Group. Although this bonanza of chess is a feast for locals, the proximity of the two events is bound to affect the inclination of players from further afield to make the long trip twice in a month. So it seems likely that in spite of the usual late influx, entries may be down on a typical year. Enquiries about late enquiries should go to Linda Crickmore on 01752 768206 or email@example.com.
Here is a game from the Paignton Premier of 1957. Bonham was blind and would sit fingering his special board before announcing his move, and checking his clock with its markers outside the glass face. He was awarded a Grandmaster title in 1972.
White: F. Kitto. Black: R. Bonham.
Sicilian Defence – Margate Variation [B62]
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Bb5 Bd7 8.0–0 Qa5 Black is presumably eyeing up the undefended bishop on g5 9.Bxf6 gxf6 10.Bxc6 bxc6 11.Qf3 Qe5 12.Rad1 Rb8 13.Rfe1 Be7 Black resists the temptation of the b2 pawn, but White quickly withdraws the offer anyway. If 13…Rxb2 14.Qd3 Be7 15.Qa6 c5 16.Nde2 c4 17.Rb1 Rxb1 18.Rxb1 Qc5 19.Rb7 Bc8 20.Qa4+ Kf8 21.Rxa7. 14.b3 c5 15.Nde2 Bc6 16.Qe3 Qg5 17.f4 Qg7 18.Ng3 h5 Black decides to keep his king in the centre and go for an all-out kingside attack. 19.f5 h4 20.Nge2 Rg8 21.Qf2 exf5 22.Nf4 fxe4 23.Nxe4 Kf8 24.Nxd6 threatening 25.Nf5 24…Bxd6 25.Rxd6. Now Black's c-pawn is at risk with the threat of a discovered check to follow. 25…Bxg2. The position is lost, but least worst was probably 25…Qxg2+ 26.Nxg2 Rxg2+ 27.Qxg2 Bxg2 28.Kxg2 26.Rd8+! and mates in 2 1–0
Last week's problem was solved by 1.Qc2! Only the Black king can move, to either Ka3 (2.Qb3 mate) or Ka1 (2.Qa4 mate).
This position arose in a Rd. 9 game in the recent British Championship. Black has no pieces left, but his 3 pawns are all connected and can be shepherded forwarded by his king. He also knows that if he can manage to swap off 2 pawns each then White cannot win, but he must first get those pawns moving, as White will want to leave his where they are. To this end he plays …h5. Good or bad?
British Championship Prizewinners
There were a number of outstanding achievements by Westcountry players at the recent British Championships in Torquay. Grandmaster Keith Arkell of Paignton set a world record for the number of games completed in 1 hour. This was 37, all against Gary Lane, a Paigntonian by birth. Arkell also won the prize for the greatest number of points scored in all tournaments. He was greatly helped in this quest by having notched up 22 wins in the above bullet chess challenge before anyone else had started, as it was the opening event.
Alex ter Hark of Bristol became British U-120 Champion, while Torquay schoolboy, John Fraser, did well enough to gain automatic qualification for next year's British Championship in Aberystwyth.
Another local player, Dom Mackle of Newton Abbot, won a grading prize in the main championship for his excellent score of 6/11 points. In this game from Round 5 he plays former Commonwealth and Australian Champion, Gary Lane.
White: G. W. Lane (2401). Black: D. Mackle (2216).
Notes based on those by the winner.

100th British – Rd. 3 Pt. 2
What's the problem?
Another of Stewart Reuben's bright ideas for this 100th event is to have a problem-solving competition. He has collected a set of 10 and Trefor Thynne, President of the Torbay Chess League, has arranged to have them displayed in the windows of various shops, cafes, restaurants etc. around the town.
They are not problems in the manner of Comins Mansfield, that Devonian "Genius of the 2-mover", who could challenge, tittilate and hope to defeat the world's best solvers with his devilish constructions. These positions are meant to be accessible even to relative beginners, more likely to give pleasure at finding the correct move order, than frustration at an inability to do so.
To give an idea, here are 2 of the 10 to give you a taster.
Who's on-line in the mornings?
As the number of electronic boards goes up each year, the question arises of how to get the best use out of them. In recent years, they've generally hosted some of the junior sections, but this year, as an experiment, some of the other sections are getting their moment in the spotlight. Yesterday, for example, it was the turn of the U-140 Championship, with the result that, round about noon, Dave Gilbert, one of that number and an organiser of the 9 Man Simul , rushed into the Office, beaming widely, saying what a brilliant move it was, as within minutes he'd already had 2 congratulatory e-mails from friends and family who were following his victory live.
Dave Clayton, the man in charge of the boards, tells me this week is an experiment to see how it goes. If successful, next week he may be able to predict which sections are featured live on the event website. However, the needs of the main Championship must always come first, and may affect what is possible in the mornings.
Round 3 Starts:
While some chessplayers were whizzing round in the Big Wheel, back at the ranch the afternoon events were getting under way. First of all, the previous day's Best Game prize.
Cotswold Congress Prizelist (08.06.2013.)
The 45th Cotswold Congress was held in Cheltenham over the bank holiday weekend. The winners were as follows (all points out of 6):

Last week's problem was solved by 1.Qa5+ threatening 2.Nb3 mate.
This week's 2-mover is the starter problem for the 2013-14 British Solving Championship. Work out White's only move (the key) that leaves Black unable to avoid mate next move. Send the solution to Paul Valois, 14, Newton Park Drive, Leeds, LS7 4HH, together with a cheque or postal order for £3 made payable to the British Chess Problem Society. Please provide an e-mail address if you have one. All entries should be postmarked no later than 31st July 2013. Don't forget to mention that you saw the position in this paper. After the closing date, all competitors will receive the solution and a free copy of The Problemist. Those who got the correct solution will also receive the Postal Round, comprising 8 positions of slightly greater difficulty and variety. In due course, the best competitors from the postal round will be invited to the Final at Eton College in February.
The 24th Frome Congress took place last weekend, and the prizewinners were as follows (with club & grade).

In last week's position, Carlsen lost to 1.Bc6! and he must lose a piece in order to prevent a back rank mate.
He is due to meet the Indian, Vishy Anand, to contest the World Championship later this year. This week it is Anand's turn to lose. How did White mate him in 3 moves?

Most encaustic is done on a hard board. When dried (hardened) encaustics are somewhat "brittle" and due to physical movement might crack on a simple paper or canvas or matboard backing.
I'm experimenting with masonite, using either a gesso layer or a matboard glued ontop to give it some "absorption". Encasutic doesn't adhere well to acrylic gesso (what modern painters use), you have to use oldfashioned rabbit skin gesso. Nasty smelly slow awful stuff. I hope that matboard continued to be the right answer!!
So, yes, I could glue the photo down to the prepared board first. However, the fun thing about collage is that not everything is at the same height. Gluing the photo to the board forces the photo to always be the lowest level. What I really "want" is a VC paper that will accept (absorb?) wax, so that I can place the image anywhere and anytime into the collage
Hopefully everyone isn't singing that old Rolling Stones song.... "You don't always get what you want.... You don't always get what you want....." Sorry, that is all I can remember of the song (being more of a jazz and classical fan myself)

Dave - Got the kit. It has mixing instructions for 1, 2, and 5 liter working solutions. It is no more difficult then before, except for measuring out of large concentrate containers rather than the "pour n' stir" from the little bottles in the p-30 kit. It does not include the instructions that used to come with the p-30 kit about reusing the chemicals (1/2 new 1/2 used) to extend the life and has specific disposal requirements. From the instruction sheet and packaging, it appears to be appealing to people who are already familiar with the chemicals and process. I am inclined to turn the old P-30 instructions into a pdf to give folks more info. The concentrates are good for 3 years unmixed, according to the instruction sheet.Originally Posted by davetravis
I'll let folks know how it turns out when I crack open the kit (next week? maybe?)

"That's really sad. Gabby is adorable, extraordinarily talented and people are complaining about how she wears her hair?" wrote a reader named "C." "It's pulled back out of her face so she can compete, just like ALL the other girls. Some people will never be satisfied with anything."
"As an African American, sadly I don't find it hard to believe that the focus of Gabby's achievement has taken this turn," commented "Sonny." "However, for those of us (African American women) who understand that hair is NOT everything, I salute what an incredible example of accomplishment

A resource for reliable information about significant people, places, events, and things in Minnesota history.
The heated mill pond, or "hot pond," was invented around 1890. This innovation in Minnesota logging made it possible for logging companies to run their sawmills year-round.
Young Red Wing newspaper editor Lucius F. Hubbard backed his words with action when he enlisted as a private in the Fifth Minnesota Volunteers during the Civil War. He emerged from the fighting as a general and a war hero, and became wealthy through wheat marketing, milling, and railroads. He was elected governor in 1881.
Centralized hydroelectric power came on for the first time in the United States in downtown Minneapolis on September 5, 1882. Minnesota Brush Electric Company produced the power, beating a similar effort in Appleton, Wisconsin, by twenty-five days.
When Alfred T. Andreas chose Minnesota as the subject for his new atlas, the state was only fifteen years old. Andreas's publication of An Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Minnesota changed the way state atlases were written, illustrated, and distributed. The atlas also put the social and cultural landscape of early Minnesota literally on the map.
From 1883-1915, Imdieke Brickyard in Meire Grove produced bricks using traditional European methods. Residents supported this business venture by purchasing materials to create structures that represented their German culture.
During the early twentieth century, the population of the Iron Range was among the most ethnically diverse in Minnesota. Tens of thousands of immigrants arrived from Finland, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Canada, England, and over thirty other places of origin. These immigrants mined the ore that made the Iron Range famous and built its communities.
Built in less than a year, the Industrial Exposition Building in Minneapolis housed the city's first Industrial Exposition in 1886 and the Republican National Convention of 1892. It dominated the Mississippi riverbank east of St. Anthony Falls for decades.
Born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1838, John Ireland came to St. Paul with his parents in 1852. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1861, and by the time he was appointed archbishop of St. Paul in 1888, he was one of the city's most prominent citizens.
"If not fully satisfied, your money cheerfully refunded." We take statements like this for granted today, but when twenty-eight-year-old entrepreneur Joseph Ray (J.R.) Watkins of Plainview, Minnesota, put that message on a bottle of his Red Liniment, he was a trailblazer.
On his second visit to the region, French explorer Pierre Charles Le Sueur arrives at the mouth of the Blue Earth River. At this site he builds Fort L'Huillier, named for a chemist in France who had told Le Sueur that the blue clay found at this location on his first trip was rich in copper. Le Sueur travels with two tons of the clay to New Orleans, leaving nineteen men to continue operations. Unfortunately, further testing shows that the clay contains no copper, and when Le Sueur returned to the Blue Earth River the fort had disappeared. In 1907 A.
Lewis Cass, governor of Michigan Territory, negotiates a peace treaty between the Dakota and Ojibwe at Fort St. Anthony.
Lawrence Taliaferro, tired of bribery attempts by crooked individuals, steps down as Indian agent at Fort Snelling, a position he had held since 1820. Indians and whites alike esteemed him for his honesty and intelligence, and his diaries of life at Fort Snelling provide a detailed record of frontier Minnesota. He died on January 22, 1871, aged eighty-one.
Joseph Haskell finishes constructing his farmhouse near Afton. His is the first commercial farm north of Prairie du Chien.
Thomas B. Walker is born in Xenia, Ohio. After making his fortune in lumber, he would plan and develop the Walker Art Gallery, which opened in 1894. He would also play an instrumental role in the creation of the Minneapolis Public Library. He died in 1928.
Father Lucien Galtier dedicates his log church to "St. Paul, the apostle of nations." This name is deemed superior to "Pig's Eye," the community's previous moniker, and St. Paul is incorporated as a town on this date in 1849. The log structure later serves as the first school of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and in 1856 its logs are dismantled, numbered, and hauled up the hill to the St. Joseph's Academy construction site. Unfortunately, the plan to rebuild the chapel as a historic site had not been communicated to the workmen, who use the logs to warm themselves and their coffee.
Ard Godfrey arrives at the Falls of St. Anthony to build his sawmill. His house, Minneapolis's first frame building, still stands at the corner of University and Central Avenues.
Henry H. Sibley is elected delegate to Congress and other state officers are chosen in Minnesota's first territorial election.
Minnesota Territory is legally organized when territorial governor Alexander Ramsey signs a proclamation written by Judge David Cooper.412
The legislature establishes funding for the territory's public schools. By decree of the Northwest Ordinance, one section in each township had been set aside to support a school, and in Minnesota these lands are not sold for short-term cash but are rented out to provide a steady and long-term cash flow. Martin McLeod authored the bill, which Territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey would consider his administration's most important piece of legislation.
At the Minnesota Historical Society's first annual meeting, the Reverend Edward D. Neill gives a lecture, the Sixth Regiment's band provides music, and a grand ball is held in St. Paul's Central House.
Cass and Chisago Counties are created. Cass is named for Lewis Cass, governor of Michigan Territory, who explored the upper Mississippi in 1820 and negotiated several Indian treaties. Chisago is named for the lake, a contraction of the Ojibwe name for the lake, Ke-chi-sago, meaning "large and lovely."
At the Washington Navy Yard, Susan L. Mann christens the steam frigate Minnesota with a bottle of Minnesota water. On April 6 of the previous year, Congress had authorized construction of this ship and, coincidentally, the frigate Merrimac , which, rebuilt as a Confederate ironclad and renamed the Virginia, would attack the Minnesota during the Civil War.
The territorial legislature incorporates the St. Peter Company, which is authorized to engage in milling and waterpower work and to develop real estate. The company's stockholders hope to move the state capital to St. Peter, but their efforts are thwarted (see February 27). James J. Hill would purchase the company's charter in 1901, hoping that its real estate powers would prove useful to the Great Northern Railway.
Minneapolis is approved for a town government by the territorial legislature. It would become a city ten years later. The legislature also forms three counties: Lake County, named for Lake Superior; McLeod County, named for Martin McLeod, a fur trader and member of the territorial legislature; and Pine County, named for the extensive pine forests of the region or perhaps for the Pine River and Pine Lakes.
The first issue of Ignatius Donnelly's newspaper, the Emigrant Aid Journal , is published in Philadelphia. This publication encourages recent immigrants to move to Nininger, a town Donnelly had founded on the Mississippi River downstream from St. Paul. Although 1,000 people live there at its peak, the town would eventually fail. Incidentally, the editor of the Emigrant Aid Journal is A. W. MacDonald, who would later edit Scientific American .
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.

Following a picture perfect start, albeit under cloudy skies, from Travemunde, Germany, the crews faced a tough night of racing with squalls, shifting winds, and thunderstorms as the yachts made their way to Karlskrona, Sweden during the first leg of the 4th annual Baltic Sprint Cup.
Baltic Sprint Cup
'Although the weather made for a challenging night of racing, we're pleased with the manner in which the regatta has unfolded so far', noted Race Director Alan Green. 'In Travemunde, Race Officer Per Axel Rahm did an outstanding job preparing the groundwork for the first leg of the race'.
Around 11.00, Outsider, skippered by Tilmar Hansen past by the historic old fort 'Godnatt' and sped across the finish line at Karlskrona, followed closely by the Lithuanian Ambersail and Gerhard Clausen's 82-foot Calypso – the largest yacht in the race this year.
Onshore, the introduction of the race tracking system has certainly added a new dimension to the race. 'The Baltic Sprint Cup website and race tracking system has seen a significant level of traffic since the first leg set-off from Travemunde, which has helped open the race up to the wider public', said Race Organizer Henning Rocholl.
The last of yachts in the slower racing classes of the regatta are passing the Danish island of Bornholm, where the Baltic Sprint Cup will eventually conclude with the Final Showdown party on Aug. 1. The yachts will continue to arrive at Karlskrona over the next few hours.
Baltic Sprint Cup -And they're off!!
The 56 starters of the Baltic Sprint Cup 2008, the 4th annual edition of the race, are now racing towards Karlskrona, Sweden.
After a spectacular sail parade at 13.00 to thank Travemünde for their warm welcome and hospitality, the 56 starting yachts sailed out into the bay for the start of the race, some 5nm out. A short rainsquall greeted boats as they made their way to the start line. The yachts divided into 3 fleets, starting at 15-minute internals apart, in 12-15 southwesterly winds from 15.00. The leg began with a short 2-mile beat into the wind, then turned 2 marks and set their spinnakers for Karlskrona.
A day earlier, Federal Minister of Transport of Germany, Wolfgang Tiefensee and Major of Hanseatic City of Lübeck, Bernd Saxe joined the SE Spezial-Electronic-sponsored Opening Party.
Sven Herlyn, Group CEO of main sponsor Bank DnB NORD and Baltic Sprint Cup Committee Chairman, recalled his first visit to Travemünde some 28 years ago as a sailor as he welcomed all participants and thanked SE Spezial-Electronic for putting together an outstanding Opening Party.
Keep track of all the action by following live tracking of the race on www.balticsprintcup.com, along with spectacular event photographs by Nico Krauss.

Just wondering.
sometimes i feel as though I'm crazy,
as if crazy is the norm.
so now I'm thinking that just maybe….
maybe I should just conform.
what was the point in all this time
if all this time, I was wrong.
all my convictions based on fictions
blur the lines that I have drawn.
so now I draw upon all that I've learned
to validate the past.
because I need to know the truth,
but now I'm to afraid to ask.
