Chris Hargensen is one of
two principal villains in the novel and movies of Carrie. She is a Senior and the unsympathetic leader of a group of popular girls in Ewen High School. She is also the principal tormentor of Carrie White in school, who she bullies out of sincere hatred despite of the fact, that she hasn't done anything to her. She has a boyfriend named Billy Nolan, who is a delinquent.
Literature Edit
Christine Hargensen is the leader of a group of popular girls called the Mortimer Snerds. She hates Carrie despite of the fact, that she hasn't done anything bad to her. When Carrie freaks out because of her first period, because her mother didn't tell her anything about it thinking she was bleeding to death, she took advantage of it and lead the girls in the room, who verbally and physically abused her. She enjoyed it in full.
When Christine Hargensen puts her in place for the leadership role she had in the event and gave the girls the week's detention, she doesn't show any repentance and refuses detention, which causes her to be suspended and barred from the prom. She swears revenge and blames everything on Carrie. When she finds out, that Carrie is going to the prom with Sue Snell's boyfriend Tommy Ross she focuses on her revenge with Billy Nolan and together with Billy Nolan, Kenny "Kenneth" Garson and Jackie Talbot they raid a farm slaughter a pig, put it on a bucket and them put it on the stage at the ceiling to be thrown on Carrie, when crowned Prom Queen. This event would be arranged by Tina Blake and Norma Watson, Christine's best friends.
The plot succeeds and she celebrates it with Billy. Later she realizes through Jackie Talbot the horrible consequences of her actions. With Billy she goes to town to watch the destruction. They encounter Carrie and Billy tries to run her over, but failed and Carrie kills them both in cold blood instead with the help of her telekinesis.
1976 movie Edit
John Hargensen (father)
Carrie (1976)
Nancy Allen
"I hate Carrie White" - Chris to Billy
In this movie Chris Hargensen is played by Nancy Allen. Norma Watson is her best friend and they both hate Carrie White.
She is one of the leaders of the prank and she enjoyed it. She initially participates in the punishment despite of her wish of not participating, but, fed-up with it, she rebels against Miss Collins, who angrily slaps her because of it. When the others do not go along with her rebellion, she goes and is therefore banned from the prom. She swears revenge. In this movie she controls Billy Nolan and persuades him through oral sex to help her in her revenge scheme against Carrie. With the help of his and her friends they kill a pig, put it in a bucket of blood in order to throw it on Carrie. At the prom Christine manipulates the election results of with the help of Norma Watson and Freddy "Frederick" de Louis, so that Carrie and Tommy "Thomas" Ross are elected Prom Queen and King. Once in the stage she throws the bucket on Carrie, which she had placed the night before with the help of Billy, despite of initial reluctance of Billy Nolan.
Satisfied with her work, she and Billy go outside to admire their work and have to helplessly watch, how Carrie kills everybody at the prom in cold blood. On the way home she and Billy try to kill Carrie in revenge with Christine driving, but are instead killed by Carrie, who pushes their car aside and blows up their car.
Emilie de Ravin
"This isn´t over. This is far from over" - Chris to the girls
Chris "Christine" Hargensen was portrayed by Emilie de Ravin and was more similar to the "novel" Chris than Nancy Allen's version, showing more characteristics. She is the leader of a group of popular girls called The Ultras. At one point she even tried to convince Carrie that Sue was the "enemy." , thus, making her an evil character. In this film, Chris is presented as a cruel, wicked and manipulative girl, who also bullied other students. However, she does have some remorse in herself.
Christine was first introduced in the movie, annoyed because of Carrie missing the ball. When Tina notices Carrie having her period, she tells Chris and she throws tampons at her along with the rest of the Ultras. Later, after Chris was banned from the prom because of testing Ms. Desjardin and saying that she won't take place in detention, her father, the "big-time lawyer" John Hargensen (Mchael Kopsa) threatened to have the gym teacher fired and take the school to court, if Christine's prom privileges were not restored. Principal Morton, however, did not cave in, and countered by saying that he would battle Hargensen's suit on all fronts. He further stated that Christine belonged in either military school or jail for her countless acts of cruelty against the "reject" student population. Her father, realizing he would lose, relented and she was out of prom officially.
Because of all of this she plans her vengeance on Carrie, but unlike the other versions, however, Christine is shown having a certain tendency of changing her heart, when she saw, how happy Carrie was at the prom and was reluctant to drench pig's blood over Carrie, but her boyfriend and accomplice Billy pressured her to do so and she gave in. The evil prank succeeds, causing Tommy's death on the way. Later they celebrated it, until they heard about Carrie's murderous rampage and returned to Chamberlain.
Finally, when they found Carrie on the street, Billy tries to run her over with Christine's half-pleas for him to stop. Still she doesn't stop him either and it is finally Carrie, who stops the car and sends it smashing into a tree, killing and crushing both Billy and Christine on the way like a ground mutton. Carrie hallucinates about her after the Black Prom massacre.
It is implied she appears in Carrie's mind during the series that never materialized and will symbolize her guilt about what happened.
John Hargensen (father), Mrs. Hargensen (mother)
Portia Doubleday
"This isn't over. This isn't over by a long shot." - Christine to the detention class
Christine Hargensen in the 2013 version is portrayed Portia Doubleday. She is the head leader of the popular girls in her class. She recorded Carrie getting her period on her cell phone and is the first one to start the "plug it up" chant. Then she uploads it on Youtube. Chris, like the others are therefore forced to attend Ms. Desjardin's boot-camp style detention. In time, however, she refuses to stay in detention. When Christine tells her dad, she is banned from the prom due to her bad behavior and they speak with Mr. Morton, Mr. Hargensen tells Christine to give him the phone, where they suspect the video of the incident, but a furious Christine refuses and storms out.
Since then she plans her vengeance with her boyfriend Billy. As they go to a farm and slaughter a pig, Christine slits the pig's throat showing she is as dangerous as Billy, who slaughtered the pig. Then they fill a bucket with it and place it on the stage. At the prom, when she pulls the rope and blood pours all over Carrie, she laughs with excitement and as she and Billy run out the door to avoid to get caught, the bucket falls on Tommy's head, which worries her, but Billy pulls her out of the gymnasium anyway.
After witnessing Carrie's massacre she and Billy decide to leave town, but Carrie stops them. She reacts by wanting Billy to run her down. He agrees and tries to do exactly that, but Carrie stops the car telekinetically, killing Billy on the way. After that Christine tries to do that herself, but Carrie stops her again. Desperately she continues with her quest, after which Carrie throws her car to a gas station. It causes Christine to fall her head first into the windshield leaving her with open wounds and glass sticking out of her cheeks.
Chris silently begs Carrie for help, but Carrie refuses. Chris immediately dies afterwards. Carrie then causes Billy's car to explode to burn both Christine's and Billy's corpses inside the car like a grilled giant gourami.

Although acting as a major enemy in the Batman movie, Joker is actually a lot of positive sides that we can take, especially from quotes that can be an inspiration for us in living a life.
Yes, this sentence is really attached to Joker. The purpose of the quote is to teach us, life is indeed difficult, so why do you make it difficult anymore. For example, your heart is broken because of breaking up.
How lousy you are! There are plenty of fish in the sea! In essence the problem is your loyal friend as long as you are still breathing. Try to treat the problem as well as possible, so you also receive a good response too. Stay positive thinking. So, why so serious?
The following quote from the Joker is not a negative quote, which tells you to do something that you don't think first. That's wrong, that's not what it means. In fact the purpose of the sentence is to emphasize more on each of us to immediately do something that we think is true. No need to ignore other people as long as it doesn't harm other people. Trust me!
Here comes the quote I like from Joker! If you have skills that can generate money coffers, then you should never hesitate to make these skills something that can ease the burden on your economy. Life is too wild, business is business, friend is friend. Right?
If you are lost in your life routine, get up, look for things that are new and challenging, which can make your life more colorful. Don't get too bad for a problem. Time is not waiting for you. Think about it!
Power will appear when you are chased again. That is what is meant by the quote above. Normally, humans will release their hidden abilities if they are depressed. Is that right? Complete your work as quickly as possible. After all, it will not be detrimental anyway, instead we ourselves will realize, that time is indeed very valuable in our lives.
What do you think? if there are other wise words from Joker, don't forget to share them in the comment box.

Robert Ashley - Automatic Writing [LP] (Vinyl)
Lovely Music present a reissue of Robert Ashley's Automatic Writing, originally released as an LP by Lovely Music in 1979. Over the course of Robert Ashley's career his preoccupation with language and the voice took many forms. He became known in his librettos as a wonderful, funny, moving writer. But with Automatic Writing he examines language at a very ''primitive'' level -- the human impulse make sounds to express his inner state, whether it be regret, embarrassment, fear, or happiness -- even though there is no one else to listen. Talking to oneself.Personnel: Voices - Robert Ashley and Mimi Johnson; Electronics and Polymoog - Robert Ashley; Words: Robert Ashley; Translation: Monsa Norberg; Silhouette: William Farley. The switching circuit was designed and built by Paul DeMarinis. Recorded, produced, and mixed by Robert Ashley at the Center for Contemporary Music, Mills College (Oakland), the American Cultural Center (Paris), and Mastertone Recording Studios (New York). This reissue was remastered and cut, from the original reel-to-reel tape, by Scott Hull, Masterdisk (New York). Manufactured at Record Technology Inc/RTI (California). 180 gram vinyl; Stoughton Old Style sleeve. Includes an insert with a transcription of the words, and the Automatic Writing notes Ashley wrote for Lovely's 1996 CD (that included ''Purposeful Lady Slow Afternoon'' and ''She Was A Visitor'').''On Automatic Writing, Robert Ashley composes under the influence of his 'involuntary speech.' (In his liner notes, Ashley revealed that he suffered from 'a mild form of Tourette's.') The piece starts quietly, with scraps of Ashley's mild, tremulous voice arranged next to more fluid French translations and barely-there touches of Moog. After Ashley's phrases lengthen enough to encompass sense-making phrases, a bass-register groove briefly appears, vanishes, then returns. Few pieces so quiet have proven as captivating; many that intend to be equally startling can't capture Ashley's range of surprises.'' --Seth Colter Walls, from Pitchfork's ''Fifty Best Ambient Albums of All Time''

Payday Loans in Kent (Portage County) OH - How to Get a Payday Loan in Kent?
By the way, if you have a bad credit history, but need a payday loan in Kent? Do not be nervous, we can approve borrowers with bad credit history.


Long story short … Wolf lives in a gated community called "Classics Plantation Estates" in Naples, Florida (about 60 miles from Miami) … but he thinks the word, "plantation," is offensive and wanted it removed.
According to the police report, Wolf had lobbied the homeowners association to drop it for months — but on Nov. 30, the 81-year-old finally took matters into his own hands.
Cops say Warner drove to the main community sign — located in a fancy fountain — and used a tool to remove the word himself.
Officials say they have video showing Wolf defacing the sign — and after a lengthy investigation, he finally surrendered to police on Feb. 7.
Wolf was booked for causing criminal mischief that resulted in more than $1,000 in damage — a felony. He was released on $5,000 bond.


For each of the past three years, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) has conducted a primary research study directed at the evolution of data management platforms associated with Big Data. These studies have shown that data management platforms supporting Big Data initiatives cannot be pigeon-holed into a technical constraint such as "just" Hadoop… or "just" NoSQL… or "just" historical analytics…or just the data center. Organizations around the world are using a wide range options that are driven more by the business requirements of their Big Data initiatives than by the technical limitations of their data management platforms. Organizations focus more on finding the correct tool for the job than attempting to fit a square data element into a round table.
For example, many organizations leverage the economical storage and processing attributes of Hadoop in association with the speed of response of an operational platform (NewSQL or NoSQL) or an analytical database. In these cases, data is stored and prepared where it makes the most sense. A subset of that information is then shared with a higher performance platform to meet the workload associated with a given use case.
For example use cases can be the operational business processes that maintain a given organization's online or mobile presence. Use cases can also be the near-real-time distribution of core analytical results. Finally, they can be the integration of analytics directly into one or more of those operational processes in a technique that EMA refers to as operational analytics, such as real-time evaluation for fraud management in customer retail settings or risk management in financial settings where external regulatory or internal exposure management controls need to be honored.
In 2013, the EMA/9sight study identified the diversity of these platforms including operational data stores including NewSQL; NoSQL platforms; external data sources; Hadoop; analytical appliances; enterprise data warehouses; data marts; and discovery platforms. In 2014, the study examined the nature of the relationships between these platforms in end-user technical environments. Nearly 65% of organizations were using between two and four of those platforms to accomplish their various project goals. In 2015, the research focused on the various implementation avenues for these data management platforms and the degree of latency for these various platforms.
In terms of how various data management platforms are implemented, the 2015 EMA/9sight study determined that while organizations are still using bare metal implementations in their data centers, they are branching out into cloud-based implementations in general with private cloud. In particular, companies are venturing outside their data centers into public cloud resources, hybrid environments with shared resources inside and outside the data center and managed service implementations where the management and operation of data management platforms serving Big Data are handled by a 3rd party.
The chart above shows that enterprise data warehouses have the slowest adoption in general in terms of cloud. However, a significant number of end-users are still utilizing non-traditional implementation strategies. The most cloud-implemented data management platform is External Data Sources. Often these data sources are managed by government agencies or data aggregators and provide the contextual information required to meet a wide range of workloads from operational to exploratory.
The research shows changes in importance of speed of response to end-users from last year to this year. This year EMA/9sight respondents were asked to provide information on the types of latency required by their workloads.
Near-real-time dominated the project workloads with an emphasis on the operational and operational analytical workloads. "Purely" analytical and exploratory workloads had much lower time-sensitive processing requirements. The result of this research is the newly-updated EMA Hybrid Data Ecosystem (HDE).
The HDE continues to provide organizations with a guide relating to their implementations and strategies associated with Big Data not from a strictly technically perspective, but rather how the requirements of the business are and should be driving the operational and analytical implementations of Big Data.
Managing Research Director, Enterprise Management Associates, has years of experience working in areas related to business analytics in professional services consulting and product development roles. He has also helped organizations solve their business analytics problems whether they relate to operational platforms, such as customer care or billing, or applied analytical applications, such as revenue assurance or fraud management.


I Found Another Set of Log Cabin Blocks!
I think things happen in my sewing room when I'm not around. Fabric and blocks multiply! Does that happen in your sewing room?
Here is a quilt I made several years ago and had it published in McCall's Quilting Magazine. I call it Pixie Sticks. Actually, they called it Pixie Sticks; I called it Candy Stripes Log Cabin. But, hey, they paid me so I didn't really care!
I love sewing with reproduction 1930s prints and pulled together a stack of candy colored fabrics and some white on white and just started sewing some Off Center Log Cabin blocks. These are small: only 6"! There are a lot of logs in these blocks. But, oh so yummy, don't you think?
Here are four of the blocks together. Two with the white corner square and two with the blue.
And a flat shot of my quilt. Yes, those are white borders and I pieced the binding.
And the photo from the McCall's magazine. This was beautifully quilted by Connie Gallant, my trusty longarm quilter.
The blocks are set on point: a 6" block on point is about 8-1/4" across. I honestly can't believe I made 72 of these! Only 32 were needed for this quilt. I guess I keep piecing to add to the other 40 blocks until I run out of the white. This is truly a SCRAP BUSTER quilt!
Though McCall's assured me they wouldn't SELL my pattern online, it is now for sale through the "mother ship" of F & W Media/The Quilting Company. Contracts and all their words, huh?
If I'm not going to sell it and they insist on selling it, I can at least show you where you can get the pattern for another version free, right? Enjoy!
Yes - More Log Cabins!
Yes, more Log Cabin quilts. Today I'm featuring the Greek Key Spiral Log Cabin blocks. They are really the Courthouse Steps version of Log Cabin with the last log added in a magical position. Very easy and it's a "fool the eye" block that I enjoy making. As you can see, I have two lap sized quilts made from them.
These are 8" blocks that were pieced the old fashioned way - using no specialty ruler. Just precise piecing. I call this Red Hot Logs.
Red Hot Logs: 42" x 50"
Here is a photo of four of the blocks.
I pulled out my Kaffe Fassett fabrics and proceeded to whip up another version of the Greek Keys. I got in trouble with the center four pink/pink blocks because I wasn't sure how to arrange everything. But it all worked out. This was quilted by Lee Taylor in the Sew Lovelee Quilt Shop in southern Virginia.
Both versions are included in my Craftsy pattern. The multi-colored one is a real scrap buster.
Let me show you two Log Cabin quilts using the Hexagon Log Cabin ruler. These were also fun to make. They were patterns for Creative Grids, and unless you have those rulers, the pattern won't make much sense. But I'm working on an alternate piecing for these, so stay tuned.
Hexagons in Paradise was a popular seller. She sold a lot of patterns! These are Log Cabins with a hexagon center. But you could also see these as Pineapple blocks, too. This has since been gifted.
Hexagons and Log Cabins play very nicely with each other, don't you think? I loved using these luscious glittery fabrics from Blank Quilting for the blocks.
And, yes, I have more Log Cabin quilts to share. Probably next week. I'm off to North Carolina to teach for 3 days and when I get back I'll cross a few more Log Cabin quilts off my list.
You didn't think I was done, did you? I made a list of my log cabin quilt creations and it keeps growing. Remember, I've been doing this for 25+ years and I have all my original files from when they were published in various magazines.
These were made using some Benartex fabrics called Dwellings. These pot holders are made from panels that look like Log Cabins. Cut, stitch, bind, done!
I rewrote the entire pattern (9 page pdf) with a color cover page and color throughout with four full size foundations for making these. One of my daughters promptly snatched these, of course! Check out my Craftsy pattern for these (only $4.00).
What else did I make with these fabrics? I cut out more of the log cabin motifs and added roofs (a simple Flying Geese unit) and here she is. Fun, huh?
One more quilt made with another Benartex collection. I call this Warm Welcome Home. I used the 8" Creative Grids Log Cabin ruler for the houses and a Flying Geese unit for the roofs. The center block with the squares on the diagonal came from cutting two blocks along the diagonal and sewing the dark sides together.
I have the multi-page patterns in hard copy (and color) which shows BOTH ways to create these blocks (with or without the ruler). I sell them for $4 plus $2 postage (USA and Canada only). I will get this up on my Craftsy site sometime soon. Send me an email for more info: kratovil@his.com.
Warm Welcome Home: 34" x 34"
Do I have more Log Cabin quilts? Of course. And I hope to share those with you soon. Hope you enjoyed the show.
I have made a few dozen log cabin quilts and I'd like to share a few of them with you today.
This first one was made almost 25 years ago. I know you can tell by the fabric!
Curved Blocks made years ago!
This is my Sunshine Butterflies pattern made using the Curvy Log Cabin ruler by Jean Ann Wright for Creative Grids. It is 47" x 47" with 12" Butterfly blocks.
Sunshine Butterflies: 47" x 47"
And a quilt shop in Michigan made a shop sample. I love it in these colors, don't you?
One of my favorite little quilts is this one in Black, Red and Gray. The strips are tiny and the blocks are only 4" in size! It is 23" x 23" as seen here. Very scrap friendly. This also was a Creative Grids pattern and has since been retired. I'm trying to rewrite each of these patterns to make without the rulers. Almost there!
And you remember this quilt where I combined log cabin blocks with appliqué. My Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam quilt that ran in Keepsake Quilting as a kit. I sell the 16 page pattern on Craftsy. Full size templates for each of the 9 blocks. And steps for making those 8" Log Cabin blocks.
And the vintage Overall Sam!
I got so ambitious with making these Log Cabin blocks that I made another whole set. Of course, I am partial to 1930s prints. But you can probably envision any fabrics for the Log Cabins and the centers accommodate 10" high figures!
I love the sound of birds. It is different in the Fall from how things sound in the Spring. I thought of my calendar block for today, Flock of Birds. Here is the block as made by Patricia Bryant of Australia. Click the link and you can see all 7 of the blocks she made from that week in the calendar!
Now, can we see it up close? Yes, it's small, but that's how I had to make it for my Block a Day Calendar.
When I created the hard copy calendar, I also created a CD version of all the blocks in TWO sizes and 12 quilts. The CD is no longer in print (neither is the calendar). I offer the blocks in monthly pdfs at my Craftsy store (links at the end of this post).
Here is the page from the October blocks (31 blocks in 2 sizes and 2 quilts). This is how each block is presented in the the version I created for the CD. You can make Flock of Birds in two sizes (12" and 18").
Go check out each month's listings at my Craftsy shop. You will find the pdfs contain over 40 pages of blocks (like you see above) and patterns for one or two quilts using those blocks.
Thanks for stopping by! And hope you enjoyed seeing my Flock of Birds block!
Wow! That's sound like some sort of coded message: the Gypsy is hiding in the Bedrock? Not so.
I had sewn and written my Gypsy post when THESE came in the mail yesterday! Now I can finish my little blocks (which you will see below).
The colors in the real fabric are SO MUCH more vivid than this image from the web site. Let me show you. I pulled 6 fat quarters of Bedrock that will go perfectly with my Gypsy remainders. Bedrock is a blender collection of 70 colors that Windham released in January. I think it's going to be around for a long time!
Now, I know what you're thinking: how in the world can she do something with less than 1/6 yard of that dark print and 1/2 yard of the light print and a few fat quarters? Well, if you're asking that, you don't really know me. I love a challenge like this!
Maybe you remember what I did with 4 of these fabrics back in July? Eat Your Carrots is a small quilt I made with a simple foundation piecing pattern I designed. Check it out.
Ready for the outer thin strips, to make this an 11" (finished) block. Yes, I know where I'm going!
two cut 1-1/2" x 9-1/2"
two cut 1-1/2" x 11-1/2"
And here they all are, waiting for me to stitch them together into a very scrappy (and yet controlled) quilt center. Actually, this is 11 of the 12 blocks. I'm still deciding on one that reads too light in the center. But, I've run out of the floral fabric, so it just may get in there!
So, you see I can make a few more blocks into a 44" x 44" center (4 blocks by 4 blocks) and use that beautiful turquoise print I showed at the top for my border.
This really is a SCRAP BUSTER block pattern. The colors unify everything. I'll keep you posted on how I finish things up. Thanks for stopping by!
Five years ago I received a charm pack of Briar Rose fabrics from Windham. I'm not crazy about 5" squares, but I thought I'd see what I could come up with.
This was 2013 and I was busy teaching several English Paper Piecing workshops. These squares worked very well with 2" hexagons. Don't you just love that little froggy sitting by the river, reading his book?
Here is the quilting up close. Love my walking foot! My Zig and Zag of Hexies was first a much larger table runner. You can see it here!
I had some extra charms and was able to get two Dresden Plate wedges from each. Then I finished up the base with a triangle instead of a 1/4 circle. So easy! I quilted it this weekend and I love the happy colors, don't you?
This is an 18 degree Dresden tool. I used the 5" height on the ruler and was able to get two wedges from each square.
I am teaching my Modern Vortex class in another week in North Carolina and I'm taking several of my Dresden Plate quilts to show them all the variations you can get from this simple tool. I know they will be inspired. I could present an entire trunk show using my 2 dozen or so Dresden Plate quilts!

Baker Mark W PhD, holds a Ph.D in Social Medicine from the University of California, Davis. This doctorate degree is a rare achievement in social medicine and serves as the basis for his specialty of drug addiction treatment program. He has been acknowledged by the American Society for Therapy Research as a "clinicians willing to change lives through research and practice". He is also certified by the National Council for Alcoholism and Drug Dependence as a therapist who specializes in substance abuse and alcoholism.
It is very difficult for any person who is addicted to alcohol or any other substance to give up drinking or smoking without professional help. This is because the physical and mental functions of the brain are associated with producing and using certain chemicals in the brain that keep the user addicted. The symptoms of withdrawal, which are also known as cravings, can be intense, causing many people to relapse. Baker Mark W. PhD is a psychologist and drug addiction treatment program expert who has been able to bring about remarkable success by combining traditional psychological treatment methods with holistic approaches. His book, "The Biology of Desire", which he co-authored with his wife, Phyllis Easter, is considered as a text book on addiction.
Dr. Baker's discoveries about the biological basis of addiction have opened doors for the successful treatment of drug addiction. For example, in his book, he pointed out that the biological foundation of addiction is the result of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. By treating the imbalance, the patient may overcome his or her substance abuse problems. Another aspect of his work in this field is the establishment of a 12-step program for alcoholics and addicts. His efforts have led to the formulation of various programs designed for the general public that helps them deal with their drug addiction problems.

Young people from Southern Norwich had the great opportunity to have their say on what they do in Scouts, and what a voice they have!
Among #YouShape activities Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers had the chance to have a go at backwoods cooking, making popcorn and toasting marshmallows over a fire.
The #YouShape activities were aimed to help the district understand what their young people want.
Young people designed their ideal leader, voted on St George's Day events and reflected on what Scouts meant to them.
There was also opportunity to make loads of new friends around the district, as groups were mixed about during the day.

Stephen, sketch artist, was running true to form. But Pottery of Tusayan presented new mysteries. When it was archived at NAA by J. Walter Fewkes, who had become active with its predecessor organization, the Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) in the late 1890s, Fewkes had penned a handwritten note to the manuscript (see first page of Pottery of Tusayan). Among other things it said, "This copy of Stephen's original Ms. of the Catalogue of the Keam Collection contains sketches, probably by Holmes .
The Peabody Museum has a rule that no photograph may be published of items in their collection, unless it is done by the Peabody's own photographer at the researcher's expense. Due to the large number of illustrations of both pots and symbols in the work (almost four hundred), the cost of using the Peabody's photographer became prohibitive. Our drawings are strictly in black-and-white and do not reflect the subtle impact on symbol design that can be achieved by polychrome painting. See W. H. Holmes's paintings for a sense of this subtlety.
Transition and Modern Ware. Stephen in this chapter refers to some of the vessels as Modern Ware. " We had planned to include the text of this chapter in this work, as it includes twenty-one Referenced Pots of which twelve have been found. Unfortunately, the Page 14 Peabody Museum would not allow us to publish the entire text of this chapter as they had given prior publication permission to some other unnamed scholar. As a result we have only included our drawings of Transition and Modern Ware Referenced Pots and their symbols, with Stephen's specific comments on these symbols.

Weekly average wholesale beef prices have made the annual early spring turn lower, awaiting the late-spring rally to the annual top.
Those seasonal peaks and valleys in prices are entrenched and appear to have little to do with concurrent slaughter data, except in the broadest sense. Instead, the seasonal price movements appear to have as much or more to do with relative weekly demand for beef and/or the more expensive cuts, which can skew the average prices.
The only thing left then is to compare price changes from year to year, which have as much, or more, to do with slaughter rates and beef production than with weekly beef demand.
Last week's average USDA weekly negotiated boxed beef cutout value for choice, 600- to 900-pound carcasses was $226.48 per cwt. This was down $1.72, or 0.75%, from $228.20 the previous week and $2.47, or 1.08%, off the latest seasonal high of $228.95 two weeks prior.
However, last week's price was $9.07, or 4.17%, above the $217.41-per-cwt average shown in the same week last year and $5.06, or 2.29%, more than the 2013-2017 average of $221.42.
Graphing the weekly boxed beef prices does not give any strong indication of whether boxed beef prices will remain above last year or the previous five-year average, though, a market analyst said. Last year, prices tended to run below the average through the summer months, but this year's weekly price averages have been above 2018 most of the time and have crossed the average twice.
But how low will boxed beef prices go in this current downturn before the rush to the top is anyone's guess. It will have a lot to do with the weather and the perceived state of the US economy. Export demand also will play a part, but this is harder to establish any kind of trends.
The average early spring bottom for the 2013-2017 time period is $221.31 per cwt, and it comes in the second week of April.
However, last year's early spring bottom hit $211.78 per cwt, and it came the third week of April.
After hitting that bottom, the weekly wholesale boxed beef price rises quickly to its annual high. The 2013-2017 average high is $234.02 per cwt and comes about the third week of May when advance booking for the Memorial Day holiday either is complete or nearing completion.
Last year, the spring high was $231.94 per cwt, and it also came in the third week of May.
Once the annual high is in, prices decline into the first week of October where holiday demand for rib roasts and steaks kicks in and takes average prices up to a fall peak.
There is a secondary price hump about the third week of June, but otherwise, prices trend lower through the summer.
The USDA choice cutout Thursday was down $0.22 per cwt at $228.83, while select was up $0.33 at $219.95. The choice/select spread narrowed to $8.88 from $9.43 with 75 loads of fabricated product sold into the spot market.
There were 30 tenders Thursday for heifer deliveries against the Apr futures contract and seven retenders at one for steers. There also were seven reclaims at one.
The CME Feeder Cattle index for the seven days ended Wednesday, was $143.35 per cwt, down $0.28. This compares with Thursday's Apr contract settlement of $145.42, up $0.25.


A German publication, Captain Gadget, managed to get authorization from Tesla to film the Model X assembly line at the Fremont factory in California. The result is rare footage of Tesla's highly automated assembly line and rarely seen sections of the factory.
But it is one of the best look at factory, especially since they have made improvements on the assembly line. We get to see some of Tesla's 'automated guided vehicles' (AGVs) at work carrying battery packs – something we've seen also at Tesla's Gigafactory.

New Conservatory Theatre Center's New Podcast, 'In Good Company'
New Conservatory Theatre Center announced the release of a new podcast, In Good Company, available for streaming and download starting August 26, with weekly episodes made available every Wednesday.
Written by a diverse group of talented playwrights including Jewelle Gomez, Eric Reyes Loo, Laurel Ollstein, Tim Pinckney, and Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder and directed by Founder and Artistic Director Ed Decker, NCTC's newest medium uses radio plays of the past to take steps toward the future of theatre in this kind-of-semi-true, behind-the-scenes story about a Bay Area theatre grappling with its place in society as Coronavirus spreads.
The drama onstage is nothing compared to what's happening behind the scenes at Bay City Theatre. Artistic Director Lola Grant is performing the ultimate balancing act: running a small, LGBTQ+ theatre during a pandemic, keeping her family together, and producing a new play- that's still missing an ending.
Written by a diverse community of playwrights and inspired by real-life struggles of local theatre artists, In Good Company is a love letter to the resilience of art, artists, and the places they call "home."
In Good Company premieres on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and all major podcast platforms on August 26. Episodes of this limited series will be released weekly on Wednesdays, culminating in the final episode on October 21. Learn more at https://www.nctcsf.org/In-Good-Company-Podcast

Home - Lodestone Radio - Enjin - We're back!
After a very long hiatus, Neiloch and I are ready to come back and put on the best podcast we know how. Episode 14 will be recorded this Sunday, so we'll be able to cover the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII announcements. Unfortunately Errn will not be returning to the show, as we've been unable to contact her and her character seems to inactive. We hope she's doing well and wish her the best in all of her future endevors.
A lot of life altering situations and life in general is what brought the show to a halt, but we're in a much more comfortable position and are ready to record again! Joining us in Errns place will be Sharaa, who you'll get to formally be introduced to in Episode 14. We'll also periodically have guests on, including a new player to Final Fantasy XIV who started in Stormblood, Kanade, who can give the perspective of a new player coming in to a game we're all very familiar with.
That's all for now! Be sure to tune in once Episode 14 is released.

Q: Split PDF documents into separate pages using PHP (or possibly perl) Can anybody point me towards a PHP library or script that would allow me to split a pdf consisting of multiple pages into separate files, each containing 1 page.  The PDFLib documentation doesn't appear to allow this and Google hasn't been particularly helpful.
I could possibly also use Perl, but it would be very inconvenient to do so.

A: I have used PDF::Reuse. It makes it so easy it is not even funny. Here is the relevant snippet from one of my scripts:
while ( my $line = <$page_list> ) {
    chomp $line;
    my ($class, $drug, $page) = split ' ', $line;

    my $dir = canonpath( catfile $OUTPUT_DIR, $class );
    mkdir $dir unless -e $dir;

    my $target = canonpath( catfile $dir, "$drug.pdf" );

    prFile( $target );
    prCompress( 1 );
    prDoc( $INPUT_PDF, $page, $page + 1 );
    prEnd();
}

A: It's not perl or php, but pdftk easily does this and much more.

A: See PDF::Extract CPAN module for Perl.

A: Does TCPDF do what you want? It is native PHP.

A: I would vote for using PDFTk even if you choose to call it PDFTk from PHP. It has excellent track record of how to do this. The following example shows how to split your PDF with PDFTk
pdf2json.exe Paper.pdf -enc UTF-8 -compress -split 10 Paper.pdf_%.js

NEW YORK, NY.- James Cohan is presenting Future Promise, an exhibition of new work by Alison Elizabeth Taylor, on view at 48 Walker Street from September 10 through October 23, 2021. This is Taylor's sixth solo exhibition with James Cohan.
In Future Promise, Taylor departs from the familiar scenes of her native Southwest to reflect moments of day-to-day life around her home and studio in Brooklyn during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Anthony Cuts Under the Wburg Bridge, Sunset, Taylor depicts a stylist who, unable to work in his shuttered salon, found a way to practice his profession during the shutdown by offering haircuts en plein air under a bridge in Brooklyn. Other paintings show more intimate moments, such as On Thinking Thoughts are Feelings, in which a pregnant woman and her partner lounge in bed. In this work, Taylor conveys a moment in which the interior landscape becomes the only world that exists. Statuary Inc., allows us to peer into the warehouse of a wholesaler of statuettes used in pursuit of spiritual practices, a glimpse of the continuing commerce of an "essential" industry observed while the city was at a standstill. Collectively, the works in Future Promise comprise a love letter to the resilience of a neighborhood and a community, translated through Taylor's empathetic and incisive eye.
In Taylor's new works, meaning is derived from the sum of the different materials and mediums that come together to form the image. Reality is taken apart and then reconstructed rather than merely mimetic. Like Les Nabis painters at the turn of the 20th Century in France, Taylor evokes emotion rather than replicates real life.
All the works in Future Promise are made in a novel medium the artist describes as "marquetry hybrid," which she developed by combining wood veneer marquetry with painted wood, photographic prints she shoots while sketching, and painted passages on panel. Taylor's complex pictorial spaces often work with this visually dense medium to create a destabilizing viewing experience.
In 2022, Taylor will be the subject of her first major museum survey exhibition. Organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, this touring exhibition will open at Des Moines Art Center in October 2022 with more than 40 career-spanning works. The show will be accompanied by a comprehensive catalog published by DelMonico Books with essays by Naomi Fry, Lynne Tillman and Allison Kemmerer. In September 2017, Reclamation, a room-sized permanent installation, opened at the Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center at the new Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, NY.
Raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Alison Elizabeth Taylor (b. 1972, Selma, AL) received her M.F.A. from Columbia University's Graduate School of the Arts in 2005. Selected solo exhibitions include: The Needle's Eye, Zidoun & Bossuyt, Luxembourg (2019); Musée Historique, Château de Nyon, Switzerland (2015); Un/ Inhabited, Savannah College of Art and Design Galleries, Savannah and Atlanta, GA (2010). Important group shows include: The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time, Brooklyn Museum, NY (2021); Personal Space, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR (2018); Makeshift, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI (2018), curated by Michelle Grabner; I See Myself in You: Selections from the Collection, Brooklyn Museum, NY (2016); Crafted: Objects in Flux, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA (2015); First International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Cartagena de Indias, Cartagena, Colombia (2014); Branching Out: Trees as Art, Peabody Essex Museum, MA, (2014); BEYOND EARTH ART: Contemporary Artists and the Environment, Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (2014); Unfolding Tales: Selection from the Collection, Brooklyn Museum, NY (2013); Surface Value, Des Moines Art Center, IA (2011); 185th Annual: An Invitational Exhibition of Contemporary American Art, National Academy Museum, New York, NY (2010).
Taylor has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including a New York State Council on the Arts/New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award and the Smithsonian's Artist Research Fellowship Program Award. Her work is included in the permanent collections of institutions including the Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA; Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ; Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; Des Moines Art Center, Des Moines, IA; Hood Museum, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH; Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando, FL; and The Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH. Taylor lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Ladies battle elements for cancer research
Browse by School
(Left to right) Debs Davies, Jane Meyrick, Professor Alan Clarke and Averil Upham with the £5,000 cheque.
A walk through the wind and the rain organised by the ladies of Tenby's Tangent Club has boosted cancer stem cell research at Cardiff.
The Club organised a fund-raising walk to help Professor Alan Clarke last year, refusing to be put off by the driving rain.
Now Tangent Club members have visited Professor Clarke at the University, to hand over the £5,000 raised and to learn more about his work as Director of the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute (ECSCRI) .
The Club's links with Professor Clarke go back more than eight years. Club member Ruth Webb read some of the national media coverage of his breakthrough in identifying MBD2 – a protein which may be 'hijacked' by cancer cells to shutdown normal defensive mechanisms and so allow cancers to grow.
Tangent Club member Averil Upham said: "At that time we had a member who unfortunately had terminal breast cancer. We decided to raise money for Alan's research with a 'Bosom Buddies' walk through Tenby."
Since then, Professor Clarke has become Director of Cardiff's European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, which aims to tackle cancer by focussing on a subsets of cells within tumours that may be the key drivers of tumour growth. Many of the Tangent Club members know people affected by cancer and they decided on another walk three-mile walk through the town last year.
Averil said: "The weather was terrible, with heavy winds and rain. However, about 150 of us of all ages turned out, including mothers pushing prams. It was a fun event, despite the rain."
Professor Clarke helps Jane Meyrick look for cancer stem cells, watched by Averil Upham (centre) and Debs Davies.
During the ladies' visit to the School of Biosciences, Professor Clarke explained some of the science behind cancer stem cells, which may be crucial to the formation, growth and spread of tumours. He also gave them a tour of his laboratories, demonstrating some of the kind of equipment their money will help pay for. The £5,000 the club raised includes a £750 donation from Barclays Bank.
Jane Meyrick, who chaired the Tangent Club at the time of the walk said: "The work Alan is doing here at Cardiff is incredible. The equipment he needs is very expensive and we'd like to think our walk has gone some way towards helping. We aim to keep in touch with the Institute's work and hope to support it again."
Professor Clarke said: "I'm very touched and very grateful for the Tangent Club's continuing and interest and support in our work. We are presently preparing to move into laboratories in the University's new Hadyn Ellis Building and every contribution like the Club's will help with our plans. Our ultimate aim is to understand the role cancer stem cells play in different types of cancer, and develop new treatments by targeting them."

The geological history of Earth follows the major events in Earth's past based on the geologic time scale, a system of chronological measurement based on the study of the planet's rock layers (stratigraphy). Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, which also created the rest of the Solar System.
Earth was initially molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as the result of a Mars-sized object with about 10% of the Earth's mass impacting the planet in a glancing blow. Some of this object's mass merged with the Earth, significantly altering its internal composition, and a portion was ejected into space. Some of the material survived to form an orbiting moon. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans.
During Hadean time (4.6–4 Ga), the Solar System was forming, probably within a large cloud of gas and dust around the sun, called an accretion disc from which Earth formed 4,500 million years ago.
The Hadean Eon is not formally recognized, but it essentially marks the era before we have adequate record of significant solid rocks. The oldest dated zircons date from about 4,400 million years ago.
In contrast to the Proterozoic, Archean rocks are often heavily metamorphized deep-water sediments, such as graywackes, mudstones, volcanic sediments and banded iron formations. Greenstone belts are typical Archean formations, consisting of alternating high- and low-grade metamorphic rocks. The high-grade rocks were derived from volcanic island arcs, while the low-grade metamorphic rocks represent deep-sea sediments eroded from the neighboring island frogs and deposited in a forearc basin. In short, greenstone belts represent sutured protocontinents.
By 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth's magnetic field was established. The solar wind flux was about 100 times the value of the modern Sun, so the presence of the magnetic field helped prevent the planet's atmosphere from being stripped away, which is what likely happened to the atmosphere of Mars. However, the field strength was lower than at present and the magnetosphere was about half the modern radius.
The Phanerozoic is divided into three eras — the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic.
The Ordovician Period started at a major extinction event called the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction events some time about 485.4 ± 1.9 Ma. During the Ordovician the southern continents were collected into a single continent called Gondwana. Gondwana started the period in the equatorial latitudes and, as the period progressed, drifted toward the South Pole. Early in the Ordovician the continents Laurentia, Siberia and Baltica were still independent continents (since the break-up of the supercontinent Pannotia earlier), but Baltica began to move toward Laurentia later in the period, causing the Iapetus Ocean to shrink between them. Also, Avalonia broke free from Gondwana and began to head north toward Laurentia. The Rheic Ocean was formed as a result of this. By the end of the period, Gondwana had neared or approached the pole and was largely glaciated.
The Neogene Period is a unit of geologic time starting 23.03 Ma. and ends at 2.588 Mya. The Neogene Period follows the Paleogene Period. The Neogene consists of the Miocene and Pliocene and is followed by the Quaternary Period.

Antenna Rough Cut Lab is a one-day intensive workshop designed to assist filmmakers with finishing their films to the best of their creative potential, and to find new pathways to reach global audiences. Three feature length documentaries currently at rough cut stage will be selected and the creative teams behind them will receive coaching and privileged access to local and international decision makers, who will provide advice on storytelling, editing, marketing, sales representation and festival strategies.
This year, award-winning US producer Gini Reticker (Academy Award-nominated lms The Square, Sun Come Up and The Invisible War) will lead the Lab, giving expert creative and strategic advice alongside technical and craft input from editor Rochelle Oshlack (Gayby Baby, Mabo, Miss Nikki and Tiger Girls). Additionally, the well respected producer and distributor Heino Deckert, and Senior Programmer of CPH:DOX Mads Mikkelsen will be on hand as expert tutors to give advice about the opportunities and demands of the international non- ction market. The selected projects will be announced closer to the event.
Rough Cut Lab will be held on Thursday 11th October at Shark Island Institute. Applications are now open and close Monday September 10th.
• 1 page (max) bullet point document outlining the challenges experienced with the film's current structure and / or problematic areas in the story, and if additional footage can be shot or sourced through archives.
• Half-page summary of what has been achieved to date.
Note: Films must be feature length (60 mins or longer) and available footage must be accessible on a USB 3 or firewire hard drives.


Whether it's for business purposes or as a hobby, because you're relocating overseas or want to understand the culture around you better, it's never too late to learn a second language. The admiration you get from friends, family and colleagues when you burst fluently into a language that's not your own will far outweigh the challenges of learning something new.
1 Don't be put off by your age. There is a common perception that children learn languages more easily than adults – that we can't absorb the information as effectively – and it's true to an extent, because kids' brains are like sponges, automatically soaking up any data that's thrown at them. But adults have the advantage when it comes to processing information. Mature students are usually more motivated too – if you've actively chosen to learn the language, you're more likely to focus during class and after class.
3 Don't sign up for class with the wrong mindset. If you go in thinking it will be too difficult, you'll end up quitting before you've given yourself the chance to succeed. The biggest barrier for adults when learning a new language is not believing they can do it. The key is to give yourself a chance.
4 Do practise every day. It'll be challenging to remember all the new information being thrown at you, so be sure to revisit what you've learnt regularly to help with retention.
6 Don't be afraid to make mistakes. You need to pronounce words properly but give yourself time. Begin with speaking and then move on to writing when your teacher says you're ready. Don't expect to get where you want to be after only a couple of classes.

Chess Computers in 1977
August 22, 2019 August 25, 2019 by lefthandeddragon, posted in 1970s, chess, Computers, Fischer, games, history, Uncategorized
Before we start, I capitalize the name of chess playing computers to clarify who (or what?) is playing White or Black. Now let's get to the main event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chess computers, of course, had been in development for a couple of decades before 1977. But in that year, several notable events brought the chess computer to the public's attention.
But let's first mention that the International Computer Chess Association was established, which is important to this article, even if the public was not aware of it.
More worthy for public interest was the first microcomputer chess playing machines, CHESS CHALLENGER and BORIS, were created and sold to the general public. You could now buy a computer to play chess. Even better was the fact they were not too strong and existed more of a novelty than a challenge, making them easy prey to most players. Nevertheless, I heard many people brag how they "beat the computer", or they were "better than a computer". What they sometimes forget to mention they played the same opening repeatedly, until they got the result they wanted. Not exactly cheating, but not entirely honest either! (I must pause and smile here, as I the only reason I didn't do such things was that I couldn't afford these machines).
Also, in 1977, CHESS 4.6, a stronger machine than either CHESS CHALLENGER or BORIS, became the first chess computer to win a major chess tournament. That occurred at 84th Minnesota Open in February of 1977. It achieved an Expert USCF rating.
In August, SNEAKY PETE played in the U.S. Open. It was the first machine to do so, was promoted and gathered much attention, but its results were not impressive.
The December 1977 issue of Chess Life and Review had this to say;
"Computers were everywhere during the U.S. Open. A major attraction for the entire tournament was SNEAKY PETE. The poor machine had to stick it out on Board 69 for the entire two weeks and was constantly surrounded and scrutinized by Class As and Experts. SNEAKY rated 1209, was so nervous he lost seven games in a row. And every back-rank mate was immortalized in the daily games bulletins."
In 1977, Michael Stean, who earlier in the year earned the GM title, became the first Grandmaster to lose a computer program.
CHESS 4.6-GM Michael Stean
Blitz Game
1.e4 b6 2.d4 Bb7 3.Nc3 c5 4.dxc5 (This does not seem best. 4.d5!? is probably better.) 4…bxc5 5.Be3 d6 6.Bb5+ Nd7 7.Nf3 e6 8.O-O a6 9.Bxd7+ Qxd7 10.Qd3 Ne7 11.Rad1 Rd8 12.Qc4 Ng6 13.Rfe1 Be7 14.Qb3 Qc6 15.Kh1 O-O 16.Bg5 Ba8 17.Bxe7 Nxe7 18.a4 Rb8 19.Qa2 Rb4 20.b3 f5 21.Ng5 fxe4 22.Ncxe4 Rxf2 23.Rxd6 Qxd6 24.Nxd6 Rxg2 25.Nge4 Rg4 26.c4 Nf5 27.h3 Ng3+ 28.Kh2 Rxe4 29.Qf2 h6 30.Nxe4 Nxe4 31.Qf3 Rb8 32.Rxe4 Rf8 33.Qg4 Bxe4 34.Qxe6+ Kh8 35.Qxe4 Rf6 36.Qe5 Rb6 37.Qxc5 Rxb3 38.Qc8+ Kh7 39.Qxa6 1-0
But this was a blitz game. Chess computers still could not compete against World Champions, either current or past, in blitz games, or under tournament conditions.
Fischer (yes, that one!) play three games against a chess computer. The first one is the most well-known and perhaps his best effort.
Greenblatt was the name of the programmer. I do not know the name of his computer, or if it even had one, so I'll just use his name.
Here are the three games Fischer was known to have played after his 1972 World Championship win.
GM Fischer-GREENBLATT
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Bc4 d5 4.Bxd5 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Nf3 O-O 7.O-O [Fischer liked to experiment with the Bishop's Gambit, probably as a result of publishing an article titled, The King's Gambit is Busted, where he showed how Black should win after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d6. Here's a game from his simul tour of 1964: GM Fischer-Nyman, Simul, Cicero, May 20 1964, 7.O-O Bxc3 8.dxc3 c6 9.Bc4 Qb6+ 10.Kh1 Nxe4 11.Qe1 Re8 12.Bxf4 Nd6 13.Bxd6 Rxe1 14.Raxe1 Bd7 15.Ng5 Na6 16.Rxf7 1-0.] 7…Nxd5 8.Nxd5 Bd6 9.d4 g5 10.Nxg5 Qxg5 11.e5 Bh3 12.Rf2 Bxe5 13.dxe5 c6

GREENBLATT-GM Fischer
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 Bg7 4.Nc3 cxd4 [Black tried the original 4…b6 in GM Božidar Ivanović-Grigic, Vinkovic, 1982 and lost after the spectacular 5.dxc5! bxc5 6.Qd5 Bxc3+ 7.bxc3 Qa5 8.Qxa8 Qxc3+ 9.Kd1! 1-0.] 5.Nxd4 Nc6 6.Be3 Nf6 7.Nxc6 bxc6 8.e5 Ng8 9.f4 f6 10.exf6 Nxf6 11.Bc4 d5 12.Be2 Rb8 13.b3 Ng4 14.Bd4 e5 15.fxe5 O-O 16.Bxg4 Qh4+ 17.g3 Qxg4 18.Qxg4 Bxg4 19.Rf1 Rxf1+ 20.Kxf1 c5 21.Bf2 Bxe5 22.Be1 Rf8+ 23.Kg2 Rf3 24.h3 Rxc3 25.Bxc3 Bxc3 26.Rf1 Bf5 27.Rf2 h5 28.Re2 Kf7 29.Re3 Bd4 30.Rf3 Ke6 31.c3 Be5 32.Re3 d4 33.cxd4 cxd4 34.Re1 d3 35.h4 d2 36.Rd1 Bc3 37.Kf2 Bg4 38.Rh1 Bd4+ 39.Kg2 [Any player would automatically see that promoting the pawn would force White to part with his rook for bishop (winning the exchange and eventually win the game). Fischer, however, wants the rook for free.]
39…Kd5! 40.a3 Ke4 41.Rf1 Kd3 42.Kh2 Ke2 43.Kg2 Bh3+ 44.Kxh3 Kxf1 45.b4 d1=Q 46.Kh2 Qe2+ 47.Kh3 Qg2mate 0-1

It would take another two decades for chess computers to score a win against World Champion.

A First
January 10, 2019 January 10, 2019 by lefthandeddragon, posted in 1970s, Opening, Scholar's Mate, Uncategorized, winning
My friend, A., started a writing class. Her first assignment was to make a list 10 things of her "firsts", and then write about them.
Intrigued by this idea, I decided to write about one of my "firsts".
MY FIRST TIME I WON A GAME AT CHESS.
I was in grade school in the early 1970's and in the fourth grade.
I played a simple Scholar's Mate [For those who don't know the moves, they are 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Qf3 Nd4? (played to attack White' queen and threaten …Nxc2+, but actually loses) 4.Qxf7mate].
I was joyful. Happy. My dad played it against me and I thought it was the best way to win and why did people need chess books?
Then doubt.
Was this it? Was this the best one could achieve in chess? To win a game in four moves? Was this the only, or at least the best, way to win? Why did Grandmasters Fischer and Spassky take so long to move in their match?
Didn't they know about Scholar's Mate?
It was only later I discovered that the game of chess is incredibly complex.
And what I have learned in the last 40+ years of studying this game is;
(1) Black does not have to respond 1…e5 to White's first move.
(2) There are opening variations that go past the 10th, the 20th moves.
(3) There is usually a middle game.
(4) There are endings to learn.
(5) Books exist to help the beginner, the novice, the merely good player, the experienced player, the expert and the master.
(6) And Grandmasters know Scholar's Mate.

John Hurt's Wings
July 19, 2018 July 26, 2018 by lefthandeddragon, posted in 1970s, gambit, John Hurt, Sicilian, Uncategorized, Wing Gambit
John Hurt was a local player from Memphis who played there for over three decades. He was Class A competitor during his Tennessee tenure.
He was fond of the Sicilian Wing Game (1.e4 c5 2.b4) and even wrote a book about it. Titled The Sicilian Wing Gambit (1983), it met with moderate success.
He even wrote an article that appeared in the Tennessee Chess News (May, 1974) which featured many of his games and are reprinted here with updated notes.

Three games from the 1970's.
June 21, 2018 July 26, 2018 by lefthandeddragon, posted in 1970s, chess, gambit, miniature, Uncategorized
Recently I bought some old state chess magazines, all from 1970 to 1975. They were all purchased from ebay and I found some wonderful gems in this collection.
Almost all the games had to be translated from Descriptive Notation (DN) into Algebraic Notation (AN) as DN was the most popular method of recording and analyzing games.
Here are three games I found to be enjoyable, and even instructive.
Proll (1998)-Babinski (2157)
[Escalante]
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Nxe4 8.O-O Bxc3 9.d5 (The Moller Gambit.) 9…Bf6 10.Re1 Ne7 11.Rxe4 d6 12.Bg5 Bxg5 13.Nxg5 h6 14.Qh5!? (Usual is 14.Qe2, followed by 15.Re1 and putting pressure on the "e" file.) 14…g6? (This move just weakens Black's kingside pawn structure at a time when he needs it the most. White is practically winning here. Black can sidestep many of his troubles with 14…O-O.) 15.Qh4 [Another winning try is 15.Qf3 hxg5 16.Rae1 Rh4 17.Qf6 Rxe4 18.Rxe4 Bf5 19.Bb5+ c6 20.dxc6 Bxe4 21.c7+ Nc6 22.cxd8=Q+ Rxd8 23.Qd4 d5 24.Qxa7 Rd7 25.Bxc6 bxc6 26.Qa8+ Ke7 27.Qxc6 Rd6 28.Qc5 1-0 (Treybel-Engler, Prague, Nov. 28 1908)] 15…Bf5 16.Re3 Kf8 17.Qd4 Kg8
