TRENTON — Kareen Giovane of Newton said she is a conservative Christian who voted for Gov. Chris Christie twice.
But her maternal instincts trumped politics today when she and her 23-year-old son, Pete, diagnosed with a severe seizure disorder, joined about two dozen activists outside the Statehouse to call attention to what they described as New Jersey's flawed medical marijuana program. Protesters lamented that young children need an edible form of the drug but it's not available yet, and there is no place for families to go to test the potency of their homemade oils.
Giovane said she's seen the power of marijuana change her son's life, and wanted others of all ages to benefit, too. It only took three days on cannabis before his seizures declined from 10 a day to two, Giovane said.
"It's sad that people don't realize what this medicine can do," she said. "If this was (Christie's) child and there was no other way, he would try it."
The protest was organized by Jennie Stormes of Hope, who makes a cannabis-infused oil for her 15-year-old son, Jackson, a medical marijuana card holder diagnosed with a potentially fatal form of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome. She vowed to stage a rally outside the capital every Thursday until the governor made the program less burdensome and exclusionary.
Stormes criticized the governor for saying there was nothing wrong with the program aside from there being little demand for it. Christie also said people who criticized the program were angling to legalize recreational marijuana.
"Our governor needs to meet with the families, patients, and caregivers in our state who need access to this program," Stormes said. "This is not your state or your program. It belongs to the citizens of the state of New Jersey."
Mike Ward, a registered patient from Elizabeth, participated in the small and peaceful protest by smoking from a bong on West State Street.
Shawnea Estrella of Franklin was there with her 21-year-old daughter Sara, who just became a registered patient this month because she has uncontrollable seizures. The butter Estrella makes for her daughter has already reduced the frequency of her seizures and improved her appetite.
Estrella said she doesn't understand why the Christie administration will permit only minors to consume edibles. It's a moot point now – none of the three dispensaries sell them yet, either because they have not applied to the state to do so or because like Garden State Dispensary in Woodbridge, the state is reviewing the application.
Garden State Dispensary's application is still under review, health department spokeswoman Dawn Thomas said.
"I've given her every medication there is," Estrella said. "She's had brain surgery. . .This is my last hope."

Why blogging is good for distressed teens
Blogging can be a beneficial exercise for teenagers suffering from social anxiety. This is according to new research published in the American Psychological Association's journal Psychological Services, which also found this form of online diary can help young people improve their self-esteem and enable them to relate to their friends in a more effective manner.
According to the investigation, stronger positive effects emerged for troubled students when authoring a blog as opposed to writing down their concerns in a private diary.
It was showed that this impact was intensified further when the blog is opened up to comments from the online community.
And while the risks of cyberbullying and online abuse remain, the authors found nearly all responses to posts were positive and supportive, with Azy Barak of the University of Haifa - which was established in 1963 - stating: "We weren't surprised, as we frequently see positive social expressions online in terms of generosity, support and advice."
Dr Mark Sergeant, Chartered Psychologist, commented: "Research is increasingly finding that new digital technologies such as Facebook, Twitter and blogging allow a freedom of expression for socially anxious individuals."

Third graders from all over Warren and Forest counties made paper, hid from foxes, and met William Penn on Tuesday.
Article Photos
Above, Evan Corondi, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Hardwoods Development Council Woodmobile Coordinator, talks with students from Youngsville Elementary School about the invasive Asian longhorn beetle which he said threatens as much as 40 percent of the state's timber during the Allegheny Hardwoods Utilization Group Woodmobile program at Warren County Fairgrounds. At right, Evan Corondi, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Hardwoods Development Council Woodmobile Coordinator, dressed as William Penn explains some of this history of Pennsylvania
For at least 10 years, the Allegheny Hardwoods Utilization Group (AHUG) has brought its Woodmobile Program to Warren County Fairgrounds through a partnership with the Forest-Warren Higher Education Council's School-to-Work program.
There students hear from a number of presenters representing industry and state and federal agencies about the importance of forests and the timber industry to the region and the world.
Evan Corondi dressed as William Penn on Tuesday and introduced students to some of the history of their home state. "I wanted to call the area New Wales," Corondi as Penn said. "The king wanted to let people know he was paying a debt to my father" and the state became known as Pennsylvania - Penn's Woods.
"We are the only state in the United States that is named for its forest," Corondi said.
In the 1600s and 1700s, most of the trees here were softwoods. "We had to cut down a lot of our forests... to help build the nation," he said. "We cut down too much too quickly."
Although there were few trees left, the clearing left space for hardwoods to grow to replace the softwoods.
"Hardwoods are better at making oxygen," Corondi said.
"We want to make sure we protect them," he said. "One way we protect them is by cutting them down. We harvest those big, mature trees. We have little baby trees in their place."
"They're a renewable resource," Corondi explained. "We can reuse them as long as we do it responsibly."
Corondi also spoke to the students, not in his Penn costume, inside the Woodmobile trailer. He talked about wood products and some of the invasive species that threaten our forests. The emerald ash borer could destroy as much as 7 percent of the state's forest - all of its ash trees. Among other things, Pennsylvania ash is used to make the majority of the bats used in Major League Baseball.
The Asian longhorn beetle, unlike the ash borer, threatens multiple hardwood species. While particularly fond of maple, it will move on to other trees, Corondi said. He said as much as 40 percent of the state's trees are in danger if the beetle arrives.
There were other presentations by AHUG members, and representatives of the Allegheny National Forest, Chapman State Park, Drake Well Museum, and Pennsylvania Game Commission. EJ the DJ provided entertainment, emcee services, and music.
Third graders from all Warren County School District schools, West Forest, and Warren County home school students attended either the morning or afternoon session.
They learned about predator-prey relationships, blending into the environment, and the food chain; the Allegheny National Forest - Forest of Many Uses; wildlife management; 15-minute paper making; forest careers; sources of energy; and others.

AUBURN HILLS, MI- Following its debut at the 2012 LA Auto Show, Chrysler Group LLC posted its new "Topless" ad featuring Romanian model Catrinel Menghia online.
The 60-second ad is for the new Fiat 500 Cabrio (convertible) Abarth. The ad shows a scorpion (symbol of Abarth) cutting the bikini top off of the Romanian model as the new vehicle drives by, followed by Menghia running into the water and the scorpion dragging the top on the beach.
"Topless" was one of five ads shown during the unveiling of the 500c Abarth, all-electric 500e, 500L and 500L Trekking.
Colorful comments from Olivier Francois, Chrysler and Fiat Group Automobiles chief marketing officer and head of Fiat brand, and the new ads for the brand's new vehicles had the audience laughing, cheering and even gasping.
At the 2011 LA Auto Show, the Fiat brand debuted the "Seductive" ad with Menghia, which after the show went viral and reached more than 11 million hits in days after being posted on YouTube. Following the popularity, the brand decided to use it as an ad for the 2012 Super Bowl.
The videos shown during this year's 2012 LA Auto Show are expected to be broadcast closer to the vehicles' debuts, according to Chrysler officials.
The Abarth Cabrio is expected to arrive in dealerships the first-quarter of 2013, followed by the 500e in California during the second quarter and the 500L and 500 L Trekking mid-next year.

FLINT, MI—When she was interviewed for a segment on "The X Factor," Flint native Lyric Da Queen said that her new group Lyric 145 stood out from the other contestants.
"I've never seen something like this," she said, "and I think the world is ready for something different."
Simon Cowell agreed, and he chose Lyric 145 as one of four groups to advance to the Top 16 acts who will compete in live shows of "The X Factor" beginning on Thursday, Nov. 1.
Lyric 145 performed a hip-hop rendition of Miley Cyrus' "Party
In The USA," and Marc Anthony said the Flint native was a superstar. It was the first performance the Flint native performed with her new bandmates; judges paired her with One4Five, a hip-hop duo from Providence, Rhode Island.
On Tuesday night's episode, Cowell elaborated on how impressed he was.
"I loved the humor you brought into it, and I loved the fact that you're performers and you had fun with it," he said. "...I felt the pressure, when you have five days to compete with groups who have been together for years."
The other three groups Cowell chose were boy band Emblem3, trio Sister C and girl group Lylas. Lylas had a similar situation to Lyric 145: they were separate contestants who judges formed into a group.
Examiner previously reported that Playback, another group made up of solo contestants, made the cut instead of Sister C, but Tuesday's episode showed differently.
On the same episode, pop star Demi Lovato picked four young adults to make the next round: CeCe Frey, Jennel Garcia, Willie Jones, and Paige Thomas.
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Britney Spears and L.A. Reid chose their respective four contestants in the categories of teens and over 25s.
Spears chose Diamond White, Carly Rose, Arin Ray, and Beatrice Miller.
Reid chose Jason Brock, David Correy, Tate Stevens, and Vino Alan.
When judges made their choices for the Top 16, they brought each act out to speak to them face to face and give their pros and cons to explain their decisions.
Reasons for contestants who were cut--two in each area--included a high bar of talent in the competition, and not having the total package of talent, looks and likeability.

|Re: [TenTec] scratch pad feature in Omni VI
|Peter Inskeep <email@example.com>
|Sun, 28 Nov 2004 11:08:28 -0800 (PST)
The Omni VI + keypad stores two frequency sets. Ie., press the "20" meter button once and the first 20 meter frequency is displayed. Press it again, and the second frequency is displayed. Press it the first time on the DX frequency. Press it again to move to find and set up your CQ calling frequency. Press it again to move back to the DX frequency. Press it again to move back to the CQ calling frequency. The scratch pad can be used in conjunction with both set frequencies. Ie., set the vfo to the DX frequency. Put that in the scratch pad by pressing VFO>M for one second. My annunciator sends a "K". Press the 20 meter button again. Press the scratch pad recall M>VFO. Now both registers contain the DX frequency. Use the VFO to go where you want, and press the "20" button again to get back to the DX frequency.

More than half of the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District's summer concert series is complete, but there's still time for music lovers to catch three free shows in August featuring high-quality performers in a relaxed park setting.
The biggest one is the next one, THPRD's annual "Groovin' on the Grass" concert on Aug. 10 at the Howard M. Terpenning Recreation Complex, 158th and Walker Road, Beaverton. The Park District will present an exciting double bill of Quarterflash and Stone in Love.
Quarterflash hit it big in 1981 with "Harden My Heart," written by Marv Ross and sung by his wife, Rindy. They still delight audiences with their sax-heavy blend of rock and pop. Stone in Love is a high-energy, Portland-based band that plays the songs of Journey, one of the top-selling rock groups of all time.
Gates open at 4 p.m. and music starts at 5 on sports fields behind THPRD's Athletic Center. Food, wine and beer will be available for purchase.
Other August concerts presented by THPRD feature Curtis Salgado and Sara Jackson-Holman (Aug. 15 at Raleigh Park, 3500 SW 78th Avenue) and the Patrick Lamb Band (Aug. 22 at Cedar Mill Park, 10385 NW Cornell Road).
has been mixing blues, funk and rhythm and blues since the late '60s.
The former co-star of the Robert Cray Band has released eight solo
albums since 1991 and earlier this year won three major industry awards,
including Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year and B.B. King Entertainer
of the Year.
Jackson-Holman is a talented pianist, singer and songwriter who has drawn comparisons to Adele, Amy Winehouse and Feist.
Patrick Lamb paid his dues playing roadhouse music in the rural south, where his influences included James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. Today he fuses funk, soul, R&B, and jazz to create a unique, crowd-pleasing sound.
The Raleigh Park and Cedar Mill Park shows will run from 6 to 8 p.m. In addition to music for adults, THPRD will offer fun activities for children at both sites, which is standard for Park District concerts in the park.
About THPRD
Formed in 1955, THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning about 50 square miles and serving 230,000 residents in the greater Beaverton area. The district provides year-round recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Offerings include thousands of widely diverse classes, more than 90 park sites with active recreational amenities, 60 miles of trails, eight swim centers, six recreation centers, and 1,400 acres of nature preserve.

GRAND HAVEN -- Seven months after a fire severely damaged a pizzeria in the Chinook Pier shopping plaza, city officials have renovated the building and opened a store with a green theme.
Grand Haven Green sells environmentally friendly household cleaners, high-efficiency light bulbs, "low-flow shower heads" and reusable shopping bags in the city owned building.
But city officials aren't looking to turn a profit -- they're focused on different type of green.
Their mission: Educate residents and tourists about improving habits to protect the environment.
Sarah Palmisano, a city intern who manages the store, said it has been well received in its first weeks. Scattered throughout the store are information boards on energy conservation and other "green" topics.
Grand Haven Green also practices what it preaches, Palmisano said. It uses high-efficiency lights from the Grand Haven-based Light Corp. They have sensors that dim the lights when there's enough natural sunlight.
Meanwhile, the store's interior was painted with an environmentally-friendly paint.
The wall color? Green, of course.
Palmisano, who is studying social science and environmental economics at Michigan State University, said the "green" movement isn't a fad. She said education initiatives do more than just help the environment -- people can save money in the process.
"One of the city council's goals was to be a more sustainable community," Palmisano said. "The store focuses on small changes and informing people what they can do to save money and help the environment."
Mayor Roger Bergman said the store is the council's push to "put our money where our mouth is." Like Palmisano, Bergman believes the green movement is relevant, and that it's here to stay.
"We're taking a serious look at how we can do this in our community and educate the public about green technology," Bergman said.
The biggest thing people can do to help the environment immediately, Palmisano said, is to stop using plastic grocery bags. They're oil-based and are not biodegradable.
"Plastic bags are really harmful to the environment," Palmisano said. "Not many people recycle them and they're going to be banned pretty soon, I predict."
Meanwhile, she encourages visitors to use energy-efficient light bulbs.
"They use much less electricity and last like eight times longer," she said. "That saves a ton of energy and a ton of money."
The store is a summer pilot program. City Manager Patrick McGinnis and the city council will evaluate its success at the end of the season and consider bringing it back next year.
Palmisano said the store gets, on average, 75 visitors daily.
"We have a lot of people coming in who are really knowledgeable and give us a lot of great suggestions," she said. "People say the store is helpful, we've had a very positive response."

Toward truth in tuna
The largest players in the global tuna business and the World Wildlife Fund have gotten behind a new organization dedicated to the conservation of tuna.
Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, StarKist, and others, joined by WWF and a number of prominent scientists specializing in tuna, have launched the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation.
The foundation's science committee includes researchers with considerable expertise on tuna. Among them are Jim Joseph, whom the ISSF describes as the dean of science-based tuna conservation, Victor Restrepo of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, and Richard Deriso of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission.
William Fox of the World Wildlife Fund, a former director of NMFS, is vice chairman of the ISSF board.
Although the group has bestowed upon itself a somewhat grandiloquent title, the foundation's launch is by all means a positive development.
Management of tuna is complicated by their highly migratory nature. The fish would be well suited to oversight by international tribunal except that the international waters of the world are like a schoolyard sandbox in which not all of the children — in this case, nations — play well together.
The launch of the ISSF signifies the tuna industry's recognition that we now live in the age of sustainability, a term that has evolved from concept to imperative. The harvester's challenge is not simply lobbying for quota or holding environmental groups at bay; consumers want a healthful product from a sustainable resource, and they are sophisticated enough to encompass non-target species and habitat in their vision of the resource.
Regardless of this whole-ocean perspective, the centerpiece of any plan to manage fisheries is the target species. If the target species will not support a harvest, or is being plundered toward oblivion, the ball game is over or soon will be.
In the case of local stocks, a sound management plan can save the day: Consider the recovery of halibut in the North Pacific, for example, or scallops in the North Atlantic. Two very different regimes were employed, but in each case stocks rebounded because a plan was implemented and adhered to.
Highly migratory species are a different ball game. It is difficult for one nation or even a group of nations to hold a particular country to account for fishing violations, as students of tuna management know.
Consider the 46-member International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. The commission routinely sets bluefin quotas that exceed the recommendation of ICCAT scientists, and these quotas are in turn exceeded by the fleets of avaricious member nations.
The ISSF says it is not about the business of usurping international tribunals but that it intends to work with them.
And because all of the major international tuna buyers are principals of the ISSF, the group believes it has the leverage to alter the behavior of rogue tuna fishermen and the nations that sponsor them. Simply put, the foundation can see to it that there is no market for their fish.
For example, the foundation is urging the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission in the eastern tropical Pacific to enact "meaningful" conservation measures on behalf of bigeye tuna.
The bigeye biomass is above the level needed to support maximum sustainable yield, but the IATTC and NMFS believe overfishing is occurring.
According to ISSF president Susan Jackson, if science-based conservation measures are not implemented on behalf of bigeye in the eastern tropical Pacific, foundation members will "refrain from transactions in fish from this stock" after Sept. 1.
The foundation has also dedicated itself to the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing of tuna. Underlining the importance of so-called IUU fishing in general, NOAA held the first in a series of public hearings on a proposed rule to identify and certify nations whose vessels fish illegally, at the International Boston Seafood Show in March.
American bluefin tuna fishermen in the Atlantic are up to their ears in frustration with IUU fishing in their fishery. "We've waited way too long," said Rich Ruais, who is executive director of the Blue Water Fishermen's Association and has served as a member of the U.S. ICCAT delegation. "Some of these players just aren't going to clean it up."
The ISSF says it will not do business with vessels on the IUU list of any regional tuna fishery management organization. The implications of this with respect to bluefin are unclear because Bumble Bee, StarKist and others do not play the same role in the bluefin market that they play elsewhere. Nonetheless, the fact that industry and government are aligned on the issue, combined with growing consumer interest in seafood certification, must be seen as boding well for ISSF influence.
Law-abiding governments are limited in their sway over fishing fleets that engage in illegal or irresponsible practices with the blessing of their own governments. But it's just possible that rogue operators can be compelled to "follow the money" to acceptable fishing practices.
– Jerry Fraser
It's no secret that fraud is a problem in the seafood industry. Oceana repeatedly touts a mislabeling epidemic. While their method has been criticized, the perception of rampant fraud has been established.Read more ...

Three years after Hurricane Katrina floodwaters decimated parts of New Orleans, La., service projects like Operation Noah Rebuild are still providing some residents with the assistance they need. Four members of Portage's Lake Center Bible Church traveled to the city as part of Operation Noah Rebuild to renovate homes last week. Terry Sturgeon, one of the church members, shares his daily diary from the trip with us here. This is the first installment, from Sunday, Aug. 17th.
According to Muhammad Ali, "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." While that may be a very practical expression of a spiritual truth, it is more in the fullness of the words of the Apostle Paul that I set out on a mission trip this last week.
In the Biblical book of Romans, the Apostle said, "Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God."
Last Friday, Ken Todd, Bryan Voetberg, Steve Gipson and I -- representing Lake Center Bible Church -- drove out of Portage at 10 at night destined for New Orleans in an act of service to God. Voetberg and Gipson went on an identical mission trip last year.
About seventeen hours later, we drove into the parking lot of the Volunteer Village of the Operation Noah Rebuild, a partnership project between New Orleans churches and associations, the Louisiana Baptist Convention and the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The purpose of the partnership is simple: to rebuild homes and to bring the hope of Christ to those who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. While the name Noah seems like a fitting one to use in connection with a flood of the proportions of the one here in New Orleans, the name is really an acronym. It stands for New Orleans Area Hope.
Since our team didn't start any actual project work until Monday, we spent some time on Saturday and Sunday visiting the owner of one of the homes that Gipson worked on last year. The owner is an extraordinary young single woman (we will not use her name to protect her identity).
She has lived in the New Orleans area since she was 4 years old. She lives in St. Bernard Parish in the Lower Ninth Ward. If you remember the news reports from New Orleans, you will remember that the Lower Ninth Ward was one of the hardest hit areas. It was actually hit twice -- first by the surge from Hurricane Katrina, and then by the wall of water that was created by the breach of the levee along the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal, the Canal that connects Lake Ponchartrain to the Mississippi River. Her story is compelling.
The woman is an Emergency Medical Technician, working closely with the police and fire departments in Chalmette, southeast of New Orleans. Obviously, she was on duty when Katrina hit. When the evacuation order came and the company she works for evacuated all of their equipment and staff, she chose to stay with her friends -- the police and fire department staff. No one, not even her father, a retired area policeman, could convince her to leave. She knew she was needed then and would be needed even more.
Like everyone else around her, she did not have a clue about what was coming. When the surge came ashore, things went pretty much as expected. There was a lot of water, and the damage was extensive. She and her cohorts set about doing what they had expected to do. Suddenly, a co-worker screamed and began yelling for everyone to get up high. What the co-worker saw was a wall of water, 16 feet high, coming from the breached canal levee.
The force of the water and the debris in the water wreaked havoc in its path. Houses standing on raised pedestals were swept off the pedestals. Houses built on slabs actually floated, slab and all. Her house remained in place but was inundated by water about 8 feet deep. Inside the elevated house, the water was between 5 and 6 feet deep.
She described the depth of the water at her workplace for us in a great word picture. She told us to imagine a large, Greyhound-type bus with an air conditioner on its roof in the water. A power boat could pass over the bus and not even touch the air conditioner with the propeller on its motor. When she and her fellow workers began doing their jobs using an air-boat for transportation, she said she was nearly swept out of the boat by an overhead traffic signal as they passed under it.
Most traumatic for her family was the news report that followed the levee breach. It was reported that a wall of water had swept through St. Bernard Parish leaving no survivors. They tried to contact her any way they knew with no success. They expected the worst, not wanting to believe it. Eventually, she received one of the messages from her parent. When she returned the call, she set off one of the most joyous telephone celebrations you could imagine.
When she finally was able to get back to her house, she realized the job ahead of her was daunting, but she dove right into it. She lived in a FEMA trailer parked in her driveway while she did the work on her house herself. The entire interior of the house was destroyed and had to be removed. So, she did it.
When she got to the studs in the walls, she realized they also had to be replaced. She removed and replaced all of the studs in the walls including those at the four corners of the house. She also replaced the ceiling joists, changing the interior layout of the house by removing part of one wall. Project Noah got involved and rewired her house. She had the walls and ceilings drywalled, not being up to doing that herself.
Her garage was also damaged badly, so she began rebuilding it. She took off the roof, added a second story, and decided to build an escape plan for herself should she ever face this scenario again.
She took us on a tour of the Lower Ninth Ward close to the canal, which nature has begun to reclaim. The growth of grass and bushes is unbelievable. An area that was formerly wall-to-wall houses filled with people is now mostly empty. There are some homes that have been rebuilt and some new homes. But, in much greater numbers, there are empty lots. Some lots are mowed in an attempt to show that they are owned by someone who is still here. But many lots, including mowed ones as well, are in a legal state of limbo that prevents any work being done to make them livable.
Many of the residents were the last of multi-generational occupants. No legal transfers of property had taken place over the generations making it impossible for the current occupants to establish legal ownership. As a result, there is no help or insurance benefit available for reconstruction. It would appear that no solution is forthcoming that would change the status. Only time may resolve the dilemma, with redevelopment coming someday, but not in time for or affordable by the people who either have or will lose everything.

You know that saying about photos being worth a thousand words? That may be true, but many of us have older photos of people we know nothing about. A few months ago, my mother gave me her photos to organize, and while sifting through it, I realized that I didn't know the stories behind the photos. Yes, there's my teenage mom smiling coily with her girlfriends. But who took the photo? Where were they? How old was she exactly? What was her life like? And that is why journaling is so important. Photos tell a part of what's happening, and journaling completes that story.
So okay. We know the importance of journaling, but how about actually getting it written? Here are a few ideas on how to get started.
1. Stream of conciousness. That's how I journal my layouts most often. Open a document in a word processing program, and start jotting down thoughts. Don't edit, don't restrain yourself, just write down everything that comes to mind about the photos you want to scrap. Write from the heart. Don't worry if it's three pages long. Once you've gotten it all down, go back and read it. Then re-read it, and edit down to what you think is important to the layout.
2. Just the facts. In this wedding layout I created, I wanted to highlight only what happened during the ceremony. (I have other layouts with more detailed writing about the entire day.) Details that would have been lost if I hadn't written it down. Quick and painless.
3. Use a conversation. I often use exchanges between my children, or between the kids and me as journaling. Because, really, kids are often hilarious without knowing it. The only problem is making sure I remember what was said!
Other ideas include: writing a letter to the person featured in the layout, interviewing your subject, using bullet points (no need to use complete sentences, woohoo!), using songs/poems/lyrics to express your feelings, telling a story exactly the way it happened (well, exactly the way you remember), and the easiest of all: letting someone else do the journaling!
Some parting thoughts: Don't feel like you have to only document the good. I often scrapbook about my not-so-perfect life in my layouts. Let your everyday voice shine in your journaling. I'm a somewhat sarcastic person. (Okay, fine, I'm very sarcastic!) When my children read these pages in the future, they'll be able to hear me saying (or yelling…) those things. Scrapbooking is supposed to be fun! Don't worry about perfect grammar and spelling. What's really important is to get the story written down.
I leave you with a layout I created a while back about why I scrapbook. It's super simple, and the journaling is a run-on sentence. And that's okay, because it's a little bit of me.

Flailing and flying across the court, Rutgers center Hamady Ndiaye knows he plays with fire in his perpetual hunt for blocks. He knows he will crash to the floor. He knows he will be bruised.
Before a 71-62 victory against NJIT Saturday, the team's trainer joked that Ndiaye should play in a body cast. Ankle tape wasn't enough to protect him.
"It's a risk that I'm going to take anyway," Ndiaye said after the game. "It's something that I have to do."
His teammates don't mind. In his third start of the season, Ndiaye romped at the RAC with 11 points, 13 rebounds and nine blocks Saturday afternoon.
Thanks to the snow storm rocking the East Coast, the crowd was sparse and the atmosphere was somnolent. But Ndiaye helped his teammates overcome a sloppy performance — 24 turnovers — against a program that has won four games in the past three seasons. He did so on a day when the Scarlet Knights lost starting center Gregory Echenique for the season thanks to a detached retina in his left eye.
Still, the Scarlet Knights (9-2) won their fifth straight since losing to Florida in the final of the Legends Classic in Atlantic City. They host Saint Peter's on Tuesday.
Saturday started sour with the news about Echenique, who was poked in the eye during a fall pick-up game. He underwent surgery on Dec. 9 and was expected to be gone for a month. But after a follow-up procedure on Thursday, the team elected to shut him down for the season.
He averaged 12.6 points and 7.7 rebounds in seven games. He will seek a medical redshirt.
"The surgeries have gone very well," coach Fred Hill said. "All we can do now is monitor how his recovery is."
Into the void steps Ndiaye, a 7-foot senior from Senegal who led the way Saturday along with 13 bench points from freshman forward Austin Johnson. Leading scorer Mike Rosario posted 15, but shot poorly and looked invisible for much of the first half.
Ndiaye, meanwhile, posted career-highs for rebounds and blocks.
"'H' has been a warrior here," Hill said. "Plays with enthusiasm. He played great."
The NJIT starting lineup features no players taller than 6-6. Ndiaye feasted on the undersized Highlanders, forcing awkward shots inside and spoiling transition buckets.
"There's really not much that we can do right now to have an effect on him," Highlanders head coach Jim Engles said.
Engles called Ndiaye a "pretty dynamic shot-blocker."
Ndiaye smothered Chris Flores' drive at the end of the first half and Mike Coburn finished at the other end to make it 39-28 at the break. Then Ndiaye opened the second half by trapping PJ Miller's breakaway layup against the glass.
"I like running back on defense," Ndiaye said with a smile. "I sprint back on defense."
NJIT scrapped by for a bit, but the Scarlet Knights pulled away as the second half wore on.
The lead ballooned to 17 before a late NJIT run made the score respectable. Flores led the Highlanders (3-7) with 19 points. Irvington native Jheryl Wilson scored 18.
Now, the Scarlet Knights will move on without Echenique, and Ndiaye anchoring the defense. Ndiaye can handle the load, his coach says.
"There's no newfound weight on H's shoulders," Hill said. "You guys might think so. H is H."

I find I get the most done when I work on it for a few days straight, then take a few days off. Some people like to have certain days a week that they reserve time to work on something, but my schedule just doesn't allow for that. Do you only have evenings to work on it, or do you have time during the day? With my thesis, I had all day, so I worked for a week straight, then worked a part time job and cleaned up the house for the next week.

Awesome ideas! I've been procrastinating less and working more, which feels really healing. Even though I was rather derailed, it is nice to be able to jump on the train again. Lol. Just started my three year old little guy homeschooling so while a huge initial expenditure of time, he and I will both have more regular hours.
Do you all work everyday on your projects, or a few times a week?

The other thing I do is never take a whole week off of that project. Even if it's only a few hours a week, I have to put in some work and keep the project in the back of my mind, or I will forget about it and blow it off. If it's on your mind, your subconscious is getting work done for you, but if it's completely out of your head, you'll forget everything you were supposed to be doing!
that's like, the holy grail of tips right there.

When I had to write my thesis, I sat down and spent a day figureing out how long it would take to get different parts of the project, and made deadline of what I wanted to have odne at the end of each month. I also never underestimated how much planning time I would need. Doing prep work - research, setting up the office, organizing supplies, writing task lists, whatever - is so important to getting yourself into the right frame of mind to do the work, and also helps you get things done faster when you actually start working on them, because you know exactly what you're doing and why. It's also an easy, less stressful way to get started than just jumping ito the middle of it.

Thank you for the welcome Persiflager, and advice especially on the layout of your timetable. Very logical and easy to adapt . Girl_Logic kitchen timer =awesome, I have to pick one of those up. I just downloaded an egg timer-that hatches a chick- very odd) for my dashboard (have a Mac), and am looking for an timer App. Thanks for the ideas ladies, gave me a kick in the pants.

Yeah, "wall" is a good turn of phrase for it. Some thing I try is change of scenery, but in a sustained and routine way (like 1and1/2 hours, same unique place, same time, every Saturday). My BF turned me on to using a kitchen timer and breaking the work up into 20 minute segments and walking around, getting water, checking email or whatever in between, then going back. 20 minutes is about when my attention starts to wander on particular projects. Putting myself on a clock kind of makes the breaks seem "safer", takes away the guilt because I know I'm not slacking, I'm resting and will be going back. The trick is obeying the clock.

Hi MsKissyStarfish!
I break things like that down into manageable chunks so that they don't seem so daunting, and then work out a rough timetable. I look for the nasty bits that I know I'll avoid and plan them into a time when I know they won't be so hard, I work out which actions need to happen early on because other actions depend on them (or they take a long time), and I make a list of nice easy bits which I can knock off when I'm not so motivated, so that I'm still getting something done.
[Well, in an ideal world this is what I do! I definitely always work out which bits I know I'll try to put off, and think of ways to make them easier. I also try to make the timetable realistic.]
It sometimes helps if I sort actions by context, e.g. @phone, @computer, @out in town....
ETA: This blog post is quite useful.

This looks like an older topic, but one many people can relate with.
I have two very large time consuming projects- and will likely have for the next year. My family and I went on a short little holiday to a water park, and played like mad, was great fun. However, since being back for the last week I've just been stumbling and bumbling around trying to get back in the flow of the work. A camping trip is coming up this weekend, and my mom and brother are arriving tomorrow, and the procrastination bug has bitten.
What do you all do to break through that wall?

Hey Ketto, that's what I meant. I had an infected flash drive a couple of weeks ago and it turned out that the files were available when it was plugged into the computer repair guy's Linux system, though not on Windows.

Unfortunately it was all gone. It was never saved on the computer, but on the flash drive, which is the problem. If it had been on the computer I probably could have pulled it right back up.
I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning re-doing it and now I'm working with others to do the final edits.
Since I ended up getting no other work done most of last week though, I'm only taking a break to bust while I eat my lunch. Back to work!
Good luck on A, B, and C!

Did it ever turn up Ketto? Is there the slim chance that the USB is carrying a virus? If it is and you're using windows, it might not be lost. It would still be visible on a computer using a different operating system like Linux.
I've been procrastinating all bloody day.
It's ten to 7. I promise to
a. package all of the mail outs for customers
b. at least SIT at the typewriter for an hour, even if it seems hopeless.
and remind myself that if i do a and b i can
c. sleep the sleep of the contented tonight.

There are about 2 paragraphs are saved on my home computer, but the rest was on my flash drive because I was doing it at work yesterday and stupidly didn't save it to my work computer. Such a mess...I'll admit, there were more than a few tears this morning but I called my co-workers and told them I had to miss some workshops we were doing today to work on this. One of them called me back and said she just felt awful when she heard my message. In the end I got so stressed out I really didn't do much today. But it's okay, I'm just going to work from home tomorrow and see if I can finished it...if not I can do some more on Friday.
It's just so frustrating because it's such a mammoth proposal in the first place and I was working on it in such fragmented pieces it's difficult to remember what I wrote in which section. *sigh*
Oh well, now I'm going out for drinks and dinner with a girlfriend.

Small businesses owners whose firms suffered a net operating loss in 2008 shouldn't forget the extra juicy tax break Congress gave them in February. And most are running out of time to elect to use it.
Usually, small business owners can only offset an NOL against taxes paid from the past two years. Under this gem Congress passed in February, last year's losses can be pegged against taxes paid going back five years, increasing the tax refund you get this year or decreasing what you owe.
Consult Form 1045 (plus instructions) or Form 1139 (plus instructions).
Be careful, though. This so-called net operating loss carryback is a bit complicated, so look at the forms carefully or consult your tax advisor. Qualified taxpayers generally must elect to use this special carryback by April 17, according to IRS.gov. Their businesses can't have averaged more than $15 million in gross annual receipts over the past three years.
The IRS has provided a question-and-answer page on the special carryback provision.

If all goes as planned, the reopened Landmark Theatre — with grander shows and bigger audiences — could fire up economic activity downtown and become a beacon for the redevelopment of Syracuse's main street.
"Really, Salina Street is the heart of downtown," said Landmark Executive Director Denise DiRienzo.
"We're hoping to spur that development with the marquee lit, activity on the street," she said. "We moved our box office to Salina Street to encourage that."
The Landmark sits between the restoration of the Pike Block to its north and the Centro transfer station under construction to the south. Along the block is Syracuse Trust Condominiums. The theater also is diagonal to the conversion of the old Dey Brothers department store into Dey's Centennial Plaza retail space and luxury apartments.
As DiRienzo sees it, the presence of a theater will have a big impact on redevelopment.
"The whole mindset is different than a corporate downtown," said DiRienzo.
She expects the magnitude of people out for an evening of entertainment will have a ripple effect — with dollars spent on shopping, eating and parking.
DiRienzo said the Landmark's economic impact for 2009 was $14 million. She forecasts a doubling of that figure with the theater's reopening and opportunities for more events.

Ticket sales in 2008 to 2009 totaled $3.6 million for events — concerts, proms, weddings, parties, meetings, movies — held at the Landmark. Those activities brought 182,600 visitors to the one-time movie palace. Factor in hotel stays for concert workers and wedding guests, spending on parking, bars and restaurants, and the total is $14 million, according to the Landmark's figures.
The expectation of more extended-run shows and bigger and splashier productions can be useful in marketing the city. It becomes an amenity adding to the quality of life, said Merike Treier, executive director of the Downtown Committee. This can be attractive to prospective retailers, apartment dwellers and visitors.
Tony Ortega, president of the Armory Square Association, expects the Landmark reopening to lure more businesses, restaurants and shoppers and build upon allegiances to existing businesses, such as Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub & Restaurant, Mr. Shop and the Museum of Science & Technology.
"I think they all contribute in a different way to create this magnetism," said Ortega, who is also the MOST's executive vice president. He believes part of the appeal for people moving downtown is walking to the theater.
John Vigliotti, owner of La Taqueria at 409 S. Clinton St., almost at Landmark's back door, has lived through the challenges of the yearlong demolition and construction project.
He is primed to reap the rewards. The potential for theatergoers, performers and stage crews to patronize his restaurant may compensate for the "hardship that we've had to endure due to the construction vehicles and everything else."
Because Vigliotti opened his eatery when the Landmark was already closed for renovation, he can only gauge the possible increase in business by what he sees when special events occur downtown or in Armory Square. He said his business jumps by 30 percent.
If the Landmark's events pull in more audiences, Vigliotti said he would probably hire more staff to serve new customers. Vigliotti is taking a wait-and-see approach until the theater's season gets under way. In the meantime, he has been invited along with 16 other restaurants and beverage companies to offer samplings of signature dishes at Friday night's gala at Landmark.
This is an opportunity to introduce the restaurants' cuisines and promote their proximity to the theater to the party guests.
Even a businessman who pulled his high-end restaurant out of Armory Square and a bakery, cafe and catering service from the Hotel Syracuse is optimistic on the future of downtown.
"I'm still a huge believer in downtown," said Chuck Pascale, co-owner of the Pascale Wine Bar & Restaurant, which relocated from West Fayette Street to Fayetteville last year. He lives downtown and frequents Armory Square restaurants.
He believes the Landmark Theatre can start something. "We need more things like this to happen," he said.
Pascale considers downtown to be a viable and wonderful place.
"What occurs in the city becomes the core for the area," he said. "And anybody who looks at any other metropolitan areas, if the downtowns aren't working, it's rare that the outlying areas become that exciting of an area. It's still all tied to the downtown area," he said.
David Holder, president of the Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau, sees the potential of the much-anticipated Landmark reopening.
"We have the opportunity to grow the base that comes into this area," he said.
Holder believes the city's entertainment venues are attractive to out-of-town visitors. Special events can draw travelers from every direction, as was proven with the success of the "Turner to Cezanne" art exhibit at the Everson Museum of Art in 2009. Visitors traveled from Ottawa and Toronto in Canada, from east and west along the
Thruway corridor and south to Pennsylvania.
Cultural activity sets a city apart from the suburbs, said Robert Doucette, who has developed Dey's Plaza and several Armory Square properties. Several years ago, he sold the first and second floors of the Loew's Landmark Building to the theater for its renovation.
Doucette believes every kind of land and space use can be a building block for the city.
"We just have to keep adding to them, one upon the other," he said.

Werk! 8 Ways To Whittle Your Waistline This Winter
Has old man winter gotten your waistline a bit off kilter? No need to fret! Here are 8 ways to whittle your waistline, just in time to bare some skin for spring.
Leg Lifts
Leg lifts are usually performed upright using a Captain Chair but for optimal results with little strain on your upper body, try them laying down. Begin by lying down face up. For beginners, bend knees, feet flat on the floor as the starting position. Inhale and lift knees towards chest, pause for 2 seconds and return feet to start position as you exhale. Raise the knees as close to chest as possible without using momentum.
To advance the exercise, raise knees towards chest, pause and exhale as you straighten the legs vertically. Inhale again before lowering the legs in a straight position gently down to the ground, exhaling as they descend. For the super strong core, target your lower abdominals by completing the exercise with straight legs entirely.

Harmony? Looks like pitbull has his mouth right in the path of the cranes. :) Despite that, this is cool art.

New Yorker writer Rebecca Mead first read George Eliot's "Middlemarch" at age 17, when she was an ambitious schoolgirl studying for entrance exams to Oxford. She recalls identifying "completely" with the novel's earnest heroine Dorothea Brooke and Dorothea's yearning for a "more significant existence."
Over the years Mead returned to Eliot's masterpiece for more inspiration and guidance, rereading the 850-page novel at roughly five-year intervals. "This book, which had been published serially in eight volumes almost a hundred years before I was born, wasn't distant or dusty, but arresting in the acuteness of its psychological penetration," she writes. "Through it, George Eliot spoke with an authority and a generosity that was wise and essential and profound. I couldn't believe how good it was. And I couldn't believe how relevant and urgent it felt."
In 2011, Mead wrote about this love of hers for The New Yorker, and now that essay has grown into a book, "My Life in Middlemarch." It's partly a memoir — Mead describes her early life growing up in provincial England (like Eliot), aspiring to "metropolitan pre-eminence" (like Eliot) and eventually becoming a successful journalist and writer (like Eliot).
It's also a minibiography of the great Victorian writer, who was born Mary Ann Evans but adopted a male pen name to distinguish her work from what she called "silly novels by lady novelists." Mead is particularly interested in Eliot's scandalous relationship with the married critic George Henry Lewes, with whom she lived for more than 20 years, helping to raise his three sons. Again, Mead sees a parallel to her own life for she, too, set up house with a man with three sons, although unlike Eliot and Lewes, they married and had a child together.
"My Life in Middlemarch" has a third major theme as well — the enduring power of literature. "Reading is sometimes thought of as a form of escapism, and it's a common turn of phrase to speak of getting lost in a book," Mead writes. "But a book can also be where one finds oneself; and when a reader is grasped and held by a book, reading does not feel like an escape from life so much as it feels like an urgent, crucial dimension of life itself."
Anyone who agrees with that sentiment is likely to enjoy this engaging book.

May is Older Americans Month
May 12, 2014
Older adults have made countless contributions and sacrifices to ensure a better life for future generations....
If just 12 people recognized one senile senior and gave them a 30 count box of depends, they could have a fresh outlook on life every new day.
Preferably, scented.

Groovy - but can we possibly change that to TWO DAYS out of very MONTH? I ask, because it's such an important issue that to only get serious about it one month out of a year sounds like we don't care the other 11. There are 52 Saturday's in a year.. how about making every Saturday, "Senior Citizen's Awareness Day"

Staff writer
Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan, called on recently by a city councilwoman to resign, got a solid vote of confidence Tuesday from black ministers who said he has done an outstanding job with the resources of his office and is being unfairly blamed for the city's high murder rate.
The Rev. Joseph C. Profit Sr., president of the Ideal Missionary Baptist Association, said New Orleans' murder rate was also high in the years before Jordan became the first African American DA in the city's history.
But when Jordan's predecessors were in office, Profit said, "No one cried out for their resignation or threatened impeachment. The difference, he added, is that the predecessors were all white.
Jordan, who'd been seated with the ministers during their press conference at the Passing Onward Baptist Church, 2414 Danneel St., rose to thank them, calling them "integral spokesmen in their own right about the conditions in the city."
"I hate crime, and I want our city to be a safe city," said Jordan, who added that he's doing his best with current resources but the results of those efforts won't be seen overnight.
"We all want to fight crime, but the people that created the crime problem in the city of New Orleans did not start with this DA," he said. Jordan said his office is tackling crime "in a very reasonable and sound way,'¤" including "showing some compassion to some people who . . . need a second chance."
City Councilwoman Shelley Midura earlier this month asked Jordan to resign after he dropped a high profile murder case, blaming a missing witness that police claimed they found within hours.

Huckleberry and five other young horses were abandoned last April along Oregon 7 in the rugged Blue Mountains between John Day and Baker City.
Baker County Sheriff Mitch Southwick got wind of a bunch of young horses running loose with nothing to eat and arranged for deputies to rescue them.
Neske, meanwhile, had lost her beloved 29-year-old mare, Onyx, to old age two months before.
On Wednesday, Neske, 13, and Huckleberry were the lucky winners in a drawing at the Baker County Fairgrounds.
Neske won the little stallion, and Huckleberry got her.
The eighth-grader, who lives in Haines and attends North Powder School, plans to train him, ride him, show him in 4-H competitions and explore mountain trails on his back, she said.
Occasionally, she might share him with her 11-year-old sister, Casey.
"If I have to," she added.
Huckleberry, named after a 5,790-foot granite tooth called Huckleberry Mountain in the Elkhorn Range not far from where he was abandoned, is likely to be a handful.
"He'll be a little fireball," predicted Jarma Myers, 50, of Baker City, who helped her mother, Kay Dobbell, 77, care for the abandoned horses. "I think he'll be a runner."
Myers spent three months feeding Huckleberry pails of goat's milk at 6 a.m., noon, 6 p.m. and midnight until he could digest hay and grain; he was no more than eight weeks old when rescued.
"I've been raising babies for 58 years, all kinds of babies -- llamas, horses, goats, pigs, sheep, calves," said Dobbell, who owns a ranch about eight miles southeast of Baker City. "And whatever she gets, I have to go take care of," Myers added with a laugh.
Huckleberry and one or two other colts might have lived through the summer in the high country, but winter snows would have buried the grasses they needed for food, Myers said.
"They were too young to be let loose," she said. "They wouldn't have been able to survive in the mountains."
One of the abandoned horses died of pneumonia about a month ago, and Myers still mourns her. "She tried really hard to live," she said. "She gave it a heck of a try."
Myers and Dobbell will keep two of the horses in return for caring for all of them, Sheriff Southwick said. Neske's family and the winners of an Appaloosa mare named Dolly paid the county $175 for theirs.
The last of the abandoned horses is a canny black stallion that eluded sheriff's deputies for weeks, Southwick said.
"We finally took some cowboys up there and ran him down on horseback," he said. The stallion's home hasn't been decided yet, he said, so he'll stay with Dobbell and Myers for now.
Also in a drawing Wednesday, Dolly went to Julie and Mikah Blank and their two children, ages 11 and 12, of Baker City. They plan to use her for trail riding and horseback hunting, they said. She'll join two adult horses and three that are too young to ride.
Julie Blank, a social worker for the Oregon Department of Human Services, is still dismayed that somebody abandoned the horses.
"These babies deserve to have a nice home," said Blank, 40.
For Dolly, Huckleberry and the others, that's just what they'll get.

EWING — A Ewing woman who was pulled over for driving with an open can of beer while two children were in the car was sentenced to 30 days in prison this morning.
Veronica Heenan, 50, was pulled over last April and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and driving under the influence.
During the traffic stop Heenan was visibly intoxicated and had an open 24-ounce beer on her lap, prosecutors said. Her 12-year-old son and his 13-year-old friend were in the back seat at the time.
Heenan spoke briefly during her sentencing hearing.
"I am sorry for having the children in the car," she said softly to Judge Gerald Council. "It is the child that suffers."
She will have to serve 30 days in prison and then go to a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment facility.
Once she is has completed the program she will serve up to five years of probation and complete the drug court program, an intensive supervision program for non-violent offenders who committed drug or alcohol related crimes. To graduate from drug court, offenders must appear regularly at court dates and undergo frequent drug tests.
Because it was Heenan's second conviction for driving under the influence, she will also lose her drivers license for two years. For a year after her license is reinstated, she must have an ignition interlock device in her car which will prevent it from starting if her blood alcohol content exceeds .5 percent.
She will also have to complete 30 days of community service and pay about $870 in fines.
If Heenan does not comply with the sentence, she could face up to 30 years in state prison.
Council said he hoped the sentence will be enough to finally convince Heenan that she needs to turn her life around and stay sober.
"If the thought of losing your children wasn't enough to shake you up, maybe the thought of going to prison will," Council said.
Heenan was previously charged in 2003 with child endangerment after her then-
2-year-old son was mauled by a pit bulls after he wandered into a neighbor's yard while Heenan was inside her house. He was in critical condition at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for several days.
The child endangerment charge was dropped when Heenan successfully completed a pre-trial intervention program, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.

The great rivalry between Boris Spassky and Viktor Korchnoi had turned in Korchnoi's favor. Halfway through their Candidates match to determine which one would face Anatoly Karpov for his title, Korchnoi was five points ahead. After ten games, Korchnoi had scored five wins and five draws. I have previously shown game seven of this match in which Korchnoi used a Queen's Gambit. In that game, Spassky used the Tartakower Variation, a favorite of his trainer, Bondarevsky. Despite losing, Spassky returned to that line in this game. Not only did Spassky bounce back to win game eleven, he also won the next three games. Korchnoi was still ahead one, but only one, point. Korchnoi held on to that lead with draws in the next two games. Then with wins in the following two games, Korchnoi ended the match. Since he had a lead of three points, the final two game were not played.
The politics of the match showed a public face in the matter of the use of national flags. Korchnoi had left the Soviet Union for a tournament and did not return in 1976. He stayed in the Netherlands and moved to Switzerland in 1978. He was not permitted to have a small flag on the table. Spassky had been given permission by the Soviets to live in France and was able to have a Soviet flag on the table. Ironically, Spassky used the flag of a nation he no longer lived in, while Korchnoi could not use the flag of the nation he did live in. The psychology of the match showed a public face in game 10 when Spassky stayed in his relaxation area or box, except to make his moves at the board. Spassky followed the game on a demonstration board in his private space. Korchnoi won the game, but protested Spassky's behavior. It is presumed that Korchnoi's complaint disturbed Korchnoi himself and he lost the next four games (starting with the one shown). I believe that complaints players feel they need to make tend to have that effect and that players should weigh that cost against the need to complain. Korchnoi copied Spassky's behavior in game 14 and lost his fourth consecutive game. Later, Korchnoi apologized for doing what he had already complained about. During game 14, Spassky had escalated his psychological gambit by wearing a silver visor. Later, in game 17, Spassky wore the visor, sunglasses, and diving goggles. However, Korchnoi won games 17 and 18.
Shown now is Spassky's first win of the match, game 11.
Spassky. What more can I say? His name makes him sound great.
NimzoRoy, it makes sense that Spassky would regret the possibility of being remembered for wearing goggles rather than his best games in this match. Since then, Spassky and Korchnoi have played matches voluntarily and appear to be on friendly enough terms.
sheardp, I remember a flag suggested by Korchnoi was the Jolly Roger.
Mischa, in my previous article on the match I showed game seven and did not dwell on the "dirty tactics." I added these here. Still, I left out that the Soviets held Korchnoi's family and abused his son. I do prefer to stick to the games, but other things affect the play.
I always thought that Spassky had simply started to lose his mind during this match, but that he eventually regained his sanity and probably regretted his behavior vs Korchnoi.
I remember this ' match from hell '. Sadly this artical only touches upon the dirty tactics. It was though, an improvment on the Petrosian - Korchnoi kicking under the table match. When you hear an old person complain that " things arn't what they used to be ", you can see they are right, just maybe not in they way they remember it.
this game is not interesting as i thought
cookie3, yes, I just can't fathom it!
Hard to imagine someone wearing diving goggles to a chess match! Guess he was prepared for some deep thinking!

Read a .sbf file containing phone repertory
I broke my Android and I'd like to recover my phone repertory
which is stored into a *.sbf file I had the chance to backup before
my Android broke.
I have no plan on buying a new Android, and I can't hardly find
a way to open the *.sbf file with my PC and then read the content
of my repertory... is there a way to do that?
Thanks for reading,
If by repertory you mean contacts and apps, they are not backed up into a. sbf, Single binary file. Use the same software to restore as you used to back up your data.Hic sunt dracones...

For those with loved ones hospitalized Christmas Eve, there is a free place to spend the night.
Three area hotels in Grand Rapids and Holland are part of a national company that offers rooms to people visiting friends or family in hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers on Dec. 24.
The hotels are: Homewood Suites by Hilton and Fairfield Inn, both on Stahl Drive SE in Grand Rapids, and Fairfield Inn on West Shore Drive in Holland.
All are owned by Tharaldson Lodging Co., which has been offering the "Room In The Inn" program since 1988. The rooms also are offered on Thanksgiving.
The local hotels have not promoted the program much in the past, said Jahmall Crandall, director of sales for Homewood Suites. Crandall, who is in his first year with the Grand Rapids hotel, recently visited area hospitals to spread the word.
"We take this program very heavily to the heart," he said.
Individuals who arrive on Christmas Eve are given the free room, while additional days would be at a discount, Crandall said. There is no specific number of guests anticipated, but the night is traditionally slow for hotels, leaving many open rooms, he said.
Homewood Suites is an extended stay hotel with 78 apartment-style rooms. The Fairfield Inn Grand Rapids is a traditional hotel with 82 rooms.
Fairfield sales coordinator Christina Campbell delivered information about the program earlier, including to several nursing homes. Four people used the free rooms for Thanksgiving, she said.
"It's quite interesting because people don't think that hotels would want to give out a free night," she said.
Tharaldson Lodging Co. operates 370 hotels nationwide, with 14 in Michigan.
"For a hotel to do this, it's a very nice gesture," said Micki Benz, Saint Mary's Health Care spokeswoman. "Grand Rapids hospitals are attracting more and more people from out of town as the sophistication of our care increases. It's not unlikely that we would have out-of-town visitors."
At Spectrum Health Butterworth, most out-of-town relatives are offered a spot at the Renucci Hospitality House, which has 37 guest rooms. There are two hospitality rooms at the Blodgett campus.
Holidays are the least busy for the rooms, which are at capacity most other times, said Kirk Bart, manager of the Renucci House.
When full, they have referred to the Tharaldson hotels in the past, he said. If it's not a holiday, some area hotels offer "compassionate" rates to patients' families, Bart said.
