Craig Carmean of Wheaton,
Illinois, swept 130 votes out of
138 cast in the election for next

Eight other freshmen received
one vote apiece.
Other elected leaders of next

closest campaigns of the elections,
Joyce defeating Trudy Peterson by
nine votes and Linda winning over
Virginia Berry by two.
In the elections for class repre-sentatives

those serving this year returned
to office. Both are active female
senators, senior Kathy Harvie and
sophomore Jaci Clark.

Then, if the weather is agreeable,

yet, just amble or ramble or min-gle

Say it is a warm spring day and
you and your friend decide to
ramble. Now rambling, too, is an
art. To truly ramble you must
have no fixed goal whatsoever in

skip slowly, and look at things,
turning a corner occasionally.
At some time during your
ramble, you will find yourself

Opinions expressed in the CLARION do not
necessarily reflect the position of the college
or seminary.
If there is one salient ingredient that has seemed to be
lacking in the life of the college this year it is the ingredient
of dialogue — dialogue with those outside our conservative.
neo-evangelical shell, dialogue that might challenge the glorious
complacency of the particular Christian tradition we have
settled into without full awareness of the alternatives, dialogue
that might force us to provide a rational framework for our
belief, dialogue that might give us also the opportunity to
share and expose that belief as tenable to those who may not
presently accept it.
However, before we can engage dialogue, we must believe
in its necessity. There is a great tendency, particularly within
evangelical circles today, to maintain a cradle-to-grave Chris-tian
fellowship. It is possible to spend our entire lives in the
evangelical wing of not only Christianity but the community
in which we will live. To do so is not only unfortunate but
Recall Psalm 23. "The valley of the shadow of death,"
the table "in the presence of mine enemies," the "green
pastures" and "still waters" — are these inside the fold?
I think not. Inside the fold the grass is trodden to stubble,
the ground barren, dusty and smelly from the feet and
presence of many sheep on many nights.
It is possible to remain inside the sheepfold and avoid
the valley of the shadow of death, but only at the expense of
also avoiding the grass, the water, the care of the Shepherd
who bekons us to come out and find pasture.
The metaphor, I think, is clear. The green pastures and the,
shadowed valley are part and parcel of the same experience.
On this campus exposure that comes in the form of dialogue
is a necessity to draw the Bethel Christian outside the Bethel
Agreed, we may be exposing him to the "shadow of the
valley of death." But I recall the next phrase — "I fear no
evil; for thou art with me." We are also exposing him to the
green pastures and to the strength of the Shepherd.
There were inklings of this desire for dialogue this year—
two Lutheran theologians and Dr. Elton Trueblood as convo-cation
speakers, philosophers of different persuasions meeting
with the Philosophy Club, an inter-faith prayer meeting be-tween
students of Bethel and St. Catherine's College. These
are steps. It is hoped we will begin to walk next year.
We would encourage the committee chairmen of next
year's Student Senate to delve into the very real possibilities
for significant dialogue available. There are colleges and
universities in the Twin Cities that would invite such exchange
and inter-action in the form of speaker exchanges, exchange
of performing organizations, symposia and discussions on topics
where our Christian faith may be relevant. From such experi-ence
we may even find our own faith-muscles strengthened.

Dean Speaks At Funeral Service,
Honors Beloved Professor 'Tony'
Ed. note—Following is a partial text of the re-marks
delivered by Seminary Dean, Dr. Gordon
Johnson, at the memorial service held Saturday
or Dr. Anton Pearson.
King David said concerning Abner, "Do you not
know that a prince and a great man has fallen this
day in Israel?" And with meaning, we say it also.
A scholar has had his eyes closed to further
earthly research, writing and teaching. A dedicated,
concerned servant of Christ is gone from our midst.
By faith we say, "God is good." Were we walking by
sight, we would say, "How can God allow this? He
means too much to us. He has so much yet to offer."
Only by faith can we utter,"God's purposes are being
fulfilled," when • we accept that fact that Anton T.
Pearson passed from our midst last Tuesday morning,
May 3.
Dr. Anton Pearson's interests and activities
were broad. But his interests were also very much
a part of everyday human experience. He loved
people whether they were scholars or children,
culturally erudite or socially neglected.
He loved his own church and felt keenly when
he could not be as active as he desired because of
the many demands upon him for broader service
in the Church. He served regularly as a teacher in
the Sunday School among college age and adult. He
was on the deacon board and completed a term on
that board just this past week.
A man with as much scholarship as Dr. Pearson
would hardly be thought of as a story-teller for
children, but he was requested again and again to
bring stories to children at vacation Bible school
and in the Sunday School, and they all appreciated
him. So much did they feel a part of him that one
little girl not long ago asked her mother how Tony
The mother said, "Do you mean Dr. Pearson?"
She said, "Oh, yes, but we know him as Tony."
That may startle us, but it shows something of the
greatness of this man in touching human exper-ience.
Dr. Pearson was a man of mission. He desired
to serve Christ on the foreign mission field but could
not go because of physical limitations. His spiritual
warmth was expressed in his varied ministries.
Following his formal studies in Louisville, Dr.
Pearson became Principal of the Alberta Baptist
Bible Academy in Alberta, Canada. While there he
served as pastor and preached in many different
churches in the Prairie provinces in Swedish, Ger-man,
and Canadian Baptist Union churches. In 1945
he joined the faculty of Bethel Seminary as Professor
of Old Testament Literature where he has ministered
with dedication to Christ and concern for his students.
His attitude may be expressed in his own
words: "Our concern is to give our Seminary men
competent, warm, spiritual training in the portion
of God's Word known as the Old Testament. We
feel that it should be studied not simply as 'the
Jewish old clothes' of the gospel, but for its own
merits as well. We are intensely concerned that
our students be well-grounded in the Old Testament
For several years he lectured in biblical Hebrew
at the University of Minnesota, as well as one year
at Northwestern Lutheran Seminary.
Dr. Pearson felt a peculiar kinship with the
neglected and downtrodden. His home was always
open to those in need regardless of color, background
or economic circumstances. Several of these have
lived with the family. Canadian Conference people
found a welcome to the Pearson home every Found-ers
Week for a dinner until that group became so
large the dinner had to be served in the church.
And he loved his colleagues. Just days before
his death he said to me with a beautiful smile on
his face, "We love our whole faculty." He felt so
keenly about the Lord's work at Seminary that when
misunderstanding arose even though he was not
personally involved, he was deeply broken.
He was a man of high spiritual concern and
dedication. He expressed special delight when we
would kneel together as a faculty in a prayer
meeting. He abhored hypocrisy so his deep piety
was not always discovered by the general public.
He was chairman of our Chapel Committee and
had unique ways of leading in worship so we genuine-ly
sensed the presence of God. When he read from
the Prophets, we felt as though the prophet were
alive. This man who combined scholar, teacher,
preacher, dedicated servant of Christ is now gone,
but his impact and the memory of him lives on.
That is especially true of his dear wife and his
five children. Other dear relatives, many friends,
his colleagues at Bethel College and Seminary, and
the students who were now studying under him and
have studied under him in the past feel keenly his
passing. "For he was a good man, full of the Holy
Spirit and of faith."

Tony is gone!
That's the way we knew him.
Oh yes, many called him profes-sor,
doctor, or even pastor or
reverend. To those of us who were
associated with him, he was Tony.
His wife and Mrs. Milford Carl-son
are twins. When his colleagues
expressed perplexity over his
wife's identity, Pearson replied:
"That's easy, my wife is the one
who has the Tony."
An irenic, pietistic soul is gone!
Those prayers of his; how can
we forget them? Intermingled
among the petitions were those
eloquent quotations from the
Psalms and Prophets.
Nor will the scene soon fade: a
man of God reverently holding a
well-worn Bible, speaking in a
modulated voice, unashamedly and
tenderly smiling, with eyes, so
very blue, which often filled with
tears as he was overwhelmed with
the love of God.
A generous, hard-working disciple
is gone!
All his life Tony worked hard.
This is why some of us feel his
life was cut prematurely short.
He never carried the light end of
the log, whether it was the long
paper route he had as a youth or
whether in later years it was the
long hours of preparation for his
teaching and writing assignments.
A conscientious Christian scholar
is gone!
One pastor confessed: "I was
brought up to think the Old Testa-ment
was a source book for escha-tological
charts until I came to
Pearson's class and met the Pro-phets."
The Bible was a living
book to Tony. He set about to know
the book, original and cognate lan-guages,
archaeology, history — all
there was to know about the Old
Always learning, Tony did post-doctoral
studies at universities in
America and Israel. He set a pace
in scholarship that his colleagues
never could match, only admire.

Ah, what can I say? The office

seems so irrevocably closed.
It stares back at me with such

taught us unforgettably that the
Bible is the most revolutionary
book in the world. The Old Testa-ment
prophets lived again in him.
Their spirit shaped his attitude
toward every thing in life — his
home and church, persons in need
next door or on the other side of
the world, entrenched evil where-ever
it was found, and the world's
desperate need to hear the gospel
of Christ. Dr. Pearson was a pro-phet
with honor on the campus.
All of us who serve the Lord at
Bethel alternately have been re-buked
and inspired by his con-sistent
stand for our Saviour and
thank God for the years we have
been privileged to walk together.
On Saturday, May 14, approxi-mately
fifty Bethel geology stu-dents
will have a "working holi-day"

Taylors Falls, Minnesota. Their day
of fun and study will begin early
at 7:30 a.m. and continue to 11:30
The students will ride to the

by Mr. Russell Johnson, geology
professor, who will point out items
of interest to the students along
Highway #8, where there are gla-cial
formations which extend from
St. Paul to Taylors Falls.
When the group arrives at Tay-lors
Falls, they will study basalt
rocks and the Cambrian rocks. In
the Cambrian formations they will
try to locate fossils. From these
sites, the students will follow the

The field trip will serve to sum-marize
the laboratory work of the

for them to put this
knowledge to practical use.
Besides studying rocks and fos-sils,

Class and Laboratory Research

We females, as athletic spectators rather than participators, are at
a definite disadvantage.
One consequence is that because we ourselves have not experienced
the tensions, the elations and disappointments undergone by athletes,
we may be largely unsympathetic and impatient with a man's emotional
enthusiasm over athletics.
A far more distressing consequence of non-participation is that
we females as a whole remain disunited and separated in spirit from
one another. Our friendships develop for a variety of reasons—a like
interest in music, similar backgrounds, or similar dating habits.
We are without a common and all-involving platform on which to
interrelate, and thus we find ourselves subdividing into small groups,
becoming critical, self-centered, and concerned over petty matters.
Among athletes, however, such narrowness and division is almost
non-existent. For them, athletics has become a kind of "universal
language" which binds and unifies them to each other and to all other
men. Unshaken by misunderstandings which may arise, this bond con-tinues
much as a river, undaunted by physical disturbances around it.
How exciting it is to observe on Bethel's campus these warm,
undemanding, and unrestraining relationships in operation. My own
faith in the abundance of brotherly love is renewed again and again
as I hear the exchange of meaningful nicknames, of playful taunting,
and of serious, deep conversation between this group of athletes. How
often I wish to cry out something of a plea to the female population
for unity of this same nature.
Women, Unite!

Last week's action on the tennis
courts found Bethel upping their
season's team won-lost record to
five wins against one loss. The
team also competed in the Be-midji
Invitational Tournament.
Thursday, May 5, Bethel, in a
return match against the only team
to beat them thus far this season,
beat Hamline on Hamline's courts
decisively, 7-2.
The scoring went thus: Bill
Petersen won 6-4 and then by
forfeit; Tom Hulst lost 6-2, 6-2;
Gene Peterson lost 6-2, 6.2; Craig
Anderson won 6-2, 6-2; John
Tegenfeldt won 4-6, 6-1, 6-0; and
Ron Sleiter won 5-7, 6-2, 6-3.

Bethel's golf team competed in
their second tournament of the
season Friday, placing third in a
three-way meet with St. Cloud and
Bemidji at St. Cloud Country Club.
The host team finished first.
Playing for Bethel were Jim
Spurgeon, Dave Anderson, R i c k
Peterson, Calvin Harfst, Jerry
Loomis, and Lloyd Osterberg. Jim
and Dave led the Royal field with
27-hole totals of 129.
The team hit the links again

Ron Sleiter won 6-0, 6-0. The meet
was close, as indicated by three
three-set matches.
On Friday, May 6, Bethel faced
Augsburg, winning 6-3. Tom Hulst
was the only team member to lose
in singles action, and that loss
came in a three-set match. Bethel
also registered two three-set wins
in singles, one by John Tegenfeldt
and one by Ron Sleiter.
In the doubles event, the only
winning team was that of Ron
Sleiter-Mark Smith 6-3, 6-3. This
was probably the closest meet
thus far in the season with
Bethel playing five three - set

men at the Bemidji Invitational
Saturday morning, beginning at
9:30 a.m. at the Ramsey High
School track the intramural sports-men
held their annual Intramural
Track Meet. The top three team
finishers were as follows: Squires,
49 points; Faculty, 27 points; and
Pages, 20 points. Dick Olson, com-peting
unattached, was the best
individual performer, registering
29 points.
It is worthy of note that all
Faculty points were recorded by
their lone entrant, Dan Phelps.
In the first game, Dan Gross, the
winning pitcher, hurled a one-hit-ter
until the late innings. In their
half of the seventh inning, Stout
scored their four runs. Bethel col-lected
a total of 12 hits with John
Dickau and Tom Corneil each with
two hits apiece.
Two of Bethel's runs were scor-ed
on a two-run 380 foot home run
by senior Paul Nelson.
In the second game of the series,
Jerry Moulton pitched an excellent
game and lost a heartbreaker.
Bethel conjured up a scoring
threat several times during the
game but was never able to push
the runs across.
The most serious threat came in
the last half of the seventh inning.
Tom Corneil walked and pinch-hit-ter
Barney Cox singled sending
Corneil to second.
Bill England, next at bat, topped
the ball and forced Corneil out at
third in a disputed call. Moulton
subsequently singled, a hit which
would have sent Corneil home, but
Cox was thrown out at the plate
trying to score from second. Terry
Muck grounded out to end the
Tournament. Here, in individual
play Tom Hulst won in the first
round, and Bill Petersen and Craig
Anderson drew first round byes.
They lost subsequently in the
second round, playing individuals
of like caliber, as all lost in three-set
The doubles team of Gene
Peterson - John Tegenfeldt also
lost in a three-set match. The
tournament was dominated by
Wisconsin State College at Osh-kosh,
a school of 9,000 students.
Coach Ed Carlson reminds the
student body that Saturday the
team plays host to Northland Col-lege
beginning at 10:00 a.m. The
matches will be played on the
Bethel and Como Park courts. An
audience would be appreciated.
Likewise, all of the Page's points
were recorded by John Carmean.
In the distance running events,
Dick Olson captured first in both
the mile and half mile with times
of 5:32 and 2:35 respectively.
Dan Phelps won the 440, 220, and
100 yard dashes in times of 56.6,
25.3, and 11.3 seconds. His time in
the 440 was close to the record
time of 56.5 seconds registered in
1965 by Keith Davis.
Freshman Craig Peterson was
victor in both the 120 yard high
hurdles and the 180 yard low hur-dles.
His respective times of 16.4
seconds and 21.5 erased the marks
of 18.2 and 23.0 set last year by
Bill Malyon.
The shot put was won by John
Carmean with a heave of 32 feet
6% inches. He also won the dis-cus
with a toss of 91 feet 91/4
inches. There was no competi-tion
in the javelin throw.
Dan Phelps recorded his fourth
first place win of the day in the
high jump by clearing the bar at
five feet four inches. Craig Peter-son
recorded his third win in the
broad jump with a leap of 18 feet
6 inches. The pole vault was won
by Roger Johnson who cleared the
bar at 10 feet.
The 880 yard relay and the mile
relay were both won by the Squires
who gathered a team of Scandrett,
Johnson, King, and Peterson.

At this meet the 360 yard low
hurdles shuttle relay team of
Bjorklund, Malyon and Lehman
set a new record of 41.8 seconds.
The 120 yard high hurdles record
was broken at the Bethel Relays
by Bill Malyon with a time of 15.7
seconds. Dave Pearson's five foot
ten inch high jump ties the mark
set by Tim Williams.
Ron Bergman and Dave Bjork-lund
have both cleared 12 feet G

After a slow start, Bethel's track
team has come to life, breaking
records in nearly every meet. After
the three opening losses to Stout
State, Buena Vista College, and
Peru State, the cindermen have
won five successive dual meets
plus the Bethel Relays where they
defeated five MAC teams.

Home Page Chess Life Online Four Players Advance to Round Two; Ramirez Out in Armageddon Thriller
|Four Players Advance to Round Two; Ramirez Out in Armageddon Thriller
|By GM Ian Rogers
|August 13, 2013
2013 World Cup and in 2014 the Chess Olympiad.
Nine US players made the trek above the Arctic Circle to Tromso, home of the
However five of them, along with 58 others, are returning home after being knocked out in the first round.
The first round losers return home with $4,800, but after paying for travel, accommodation and food and then rebooking air-tickets – only the most pessimistic players would book their tickets to return home after the first round! - their profit will be limited.
On the positive side, Tromso in summer is an awesome sight with 18 hours of bright daylight and six hours of a glorious twilight.
The opening ceremony – where chess was memorably described by the head of the Arctic University as "Creativity in a straight-jacket" - featured only the second song I have ever heard about reindeer and contained a plea to the players to explore the mountains and lakes of Tromso before they went home.
The World Cup is one of the key tournaments on the road to the World Championship. The top two players qualify for the next Candidates tournament and the winner picks up $96,000 as well.
The tournament would normally be a 128 player knock-out but this year only 127 made it to Tromso - Egyptian GM Ahmed Adly was called up for national service in the Egyptian army just before the World Cup and even permission to travel by the Sports Ministry was not enough to overrule a negative decision by the army.
The 2013 World Cup was described as the strongest-ever such event, with 26 of the world's top 30 players competing. (The missing four were November's two world title match contenders, Anand and Carlsen; Topalov, who has already qualified for the Candidates tournament, and China's Ding Liren.)
Usually the first round sees quite a few of the top seeds fall by the wayside but only a few big names dropped out in round one; the most surprising being Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi – beaten by 14-year-old Chinese Grandmaster Wei Yi – and 2011 quarter-finalist Judit Polgar who lost to the unfancied Isan Ortiz from Cuba. All four female players lost in the first round, though Women's World Championship rivals Hou Yifan and Anna Ushenina forced Alexey Shirov and Peter Svidler to rapid tiebreakers before losing.
The top two US players, Hikaru Nakamura and Gata Kamsky are expected to have plenty of time to explore, but they qualified for the second round in contrasting styles.
Nakamura wrapped up a 2-0 win against Deysi Cori, although the Peruvian teenager was not disgraced.
Tromso World Cup Round 1 Game 1
White: D. Cori
Black: H. Nakamura
Opening: Bogo/Nimzo-Indian Defence
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+ 4.Bd2 c5 5.e3
An extremely quiet method of meeting the Bogo-Indian Defence, after which Black has few problems.
5...0–0 6.Bd3 b6 7.0–0 Bb7 8.Nc3 cxd4 9.exd4 d5 10.cxd5 Nxd5 11.Qc2 Nf6
11...h6 would avoid the coming liquidation.
12.Ne4!? Bxd2 13.Nxf6+ Qxf6 14.Bxh7+ Kh8 15.Be4! Rc8! 16.Qd3 Bxe4 17.Qxe4 Nc6 18.Nxd2 Qxd4 19.Rfd1 Qxb2
Very risky, but the greater risk in Nakamura's eyes was mass exchanges leading to a draw.
20.Nc4 Qb4 21.Rab1 Qa4
Cori admitted that she felt sure she would have enough play for the pawn but wasn't really sure how to continue. The direct 22.Rd3! gives an attack which is rather dangerous for Black, e.g. 22...Rd8! (The only good move because 22...Kg8? allows 23.Ra3!) 23.Rh3+ Kg8 24.Qh7+ Kf8 25.Qh8+ Ke7 26.Qh4+ and now 26...f6 27.Qg4 looks like a suicide attempt so Black would be forced to concede a draw after 26...Kf8 27.Qh8+.
22...Rd8 23.Nd6 Kg8 24.Rbc1 Ne7 25.Qf3 Nf5 26.Rc7?
This meets a surprising refutation. Black has little for the pawn so 26.Nxf7!? was the best chance to keep the game messy.
26...Rab8! 27.Rc4 Qxa2 0–1
Tromso World Cup
White: H. Nakamura
Black: D. Cori
Nakamura had been trying to make progress for 30 moves, without a pawn moving nor a piece being taken, so he tries a final trick...
78.Re6! Rxe6 79.Kxe6 Kf4 80.Kf7 Ke5 81.Kg7 Ba3?
Surprisingly, this is a losing move. The key to the position is that Black should not be scared about abandoning both her pawns in order to set up a blockade, so 81...Kd6+ 82.Kxh6 Ke7 83.Kxg5 Kf8 followed by placing the king in the corner, was the direct way to reach a position where White will be unable to make progress.
82.Kxh6 Kf6 83.Bg6!
Now the Black king cannot reach f8 and the h pawn becomes a winner.
83...Bb2 84.Kh7 Ba3 85.Kg8 Bb4 86.Bf5 Bc3 87.h6 Ke7 88.h7 1–0
Kamsky on the other hand, had to work his way through two sets of playoffs before he could shake off the young Chinese player Lou Yiping. The first four games – two classical time limit and two rapid games - were drawn without serious chances for the American and it took until the 10 minute games before Kamsky could show his superiority.
Tromso World Cup
White: Lou Yiping
Black: G. Kamsky
After a tough manoeuvring game, Kamsky has taken the initiative, but there would be plenty of fight in White's position after 35.Be3. However finally Lou erred and Kamsky did not need to be asked twice...
35.Na4? Nxd4 36.Nxd4 e3! 37.Nxc5
On 37.fxe3 Qg3 is decisive.
37...bxc5 38.Ne2 Rxd1+ 39.Rxd1 exf2+ 40.Kxf2 Qh2!
Now, because of the 41...Rxe2+ trick, both 41.Qg3 and 41.Rg1 are unplayable, meaning that White must lose bulk material and the game.
41.Rd5 Bxd5 42.cxd5 Qd6
42...Rxe2+ is not bad either.
43.Qf3 Nd7 44.Nc3 Qf6 0-1
Kamsky needed only to draw the final 10 minute game with White to win the match and, after he neutralized some aggressive play by Lou, he soon reached an endgame which was impossible to lose and finally went through to the second round.
Nakamura and Kamsky were joined in the second round by Alexander Onischuk, who looked good against a Venezualan GM almost equal to Onischuk on rating.
Tromso World Cup
White: A. Onischuk
Black: E. Iturrizaga
Opening: Queen's Indian Defence
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 c5 4.Nf3 b6 5.Bg2 Bb7 6.d5! exd5 7.Ng5!?
For many years 7.Nh4 was considered de rigeur here but recently 7.Ng5 has become popular at high levels, intending to reposition via h3 and f4.
7...h6 8.Nh3 b5
In qualifying for the World Cup through the Americas Continental Championship in May, Iturrizaga had found difficulty playing against this move with White and so decides to try it against Onischuk. He is in for a rude shock....
Irrutizaga had played the more 'normal' 9.cxd5 but Onischuk's move is much stronger.
9...bxc4 would allow 10.Nf4 so by protecting the bishop Black forces White to capture on d5 immediately.
10.Nxd5 Nxd5 11.Bxd5 Nc6 12.Nf4 bxc4 13.0–0 g5
At first sight this is desperation, since otherwise 14.Bxc4 and 15.Nd5 would follow. However tactically 13...g5 holds everything together for Black so it is hard to condemn. Iturrizaga's problem is long-term; the Black king will never have a safe home.
14.Ng2 Nd4 15.Ne3 Bxd5 16.Nxd5 Qc6 17.e4 0–0–0
Now Black will be unable to back up the knight with ...Bg7, but the immediate 17...Bg7 is met by 18.f4 when the position opens up in White's favour.
18.Be3 Re8 19.Bxd4 cxd4 20.Qxd4 Bc5 21.Qc3 Rhf8 22.b4! Rxe4 23.bxc5 Qxd5
With Black having a number of loose pawns and an airy king, one would expect White to win this position 90% of the time, even if perfect computer defence might hold.
24...Rfe8 25.Rad1
Perhaps a slight misstep - White wants one rook on d1 and one on b1 and therefore should use the king's rook here.
25...Qb7!? might not be as bad as it looks because after 26.Rb1 Qc7 27.Qa6+ Kd8 28.Rb7 Qxc5 White has no knock-out blow.
26.Qa6+ Qb7 27.Qxh6 R4e5?!
Rather too careful. After 27...c3! 28.Qxg5 (28.Rb1 Qc6) 28...c2 29.Rc1 Re2 the game could go either way but, importantly, White's rooks have no avenues to the Black king.
28.Qf6! R8e7 29.Rc1 Qb5 30.Qd6! R7e6
30...Qxc5? loses to 31.Qa6+! followed by 32.Rxc4.
31.Qf8+ Kc7
Now White's attack becomes overwhelming. 31...Re8 32.Qxf7 Re4 was the last chance.
32.Rb1! Qxc5 33.Qb8+ Kc6 34.Rb7! Qa5 35.Qc8+ Kd5 36.Rxd7+ Ke4 37.Qxc4+ Kf5 38.Rxf7+ Kg6 39.Rd7 1–0
The fourth US winner completed one of the biggest upsets of round 1; Ray Robson defeating the highly ranked Andrei Volokitin with an amazing 2-0 score.
Robson started the match with a brilliant attacking game.
Tromso World Cup
White: R. Robson
Black: A. Volokitin
Opening: Petroff's Defence
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6
"He also plays the Najdorf and the Berlin," said Robson. "I figured he was trying to be solid and make a draw with Black in the first game and then press with White."
3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 6.Bd3 Nc6 7.0–0 Be7 8.c4 Nb4 9.Be2
"We followed the main line for a long time," said Robson. The older line 9.cxd5!? Nxd3 10.Qxd3 Qxd5 11.Re1 Bf5 12.Nc3 Nxc3 13.Qxc3 , which produced Robson's compatriot Walter Browne's self-described 'Game of the Century' after 13...c6? 14.Bh6!! is no longer considered dangerous after 13...Be6! 14.Qxc7 Bd6 followed by 15...0-0.
9...0–0 10.Nc3 Bf5 11.a3 Nxc3 12.bxc3 Nc6 13.Re1 Re8 14.cxd5 Qxd5 15.Bf4 Rac8
The pawn sacrifice 15...Na5 16.Bxc7 Rac8 is no longer considered good enough for Black in view of 17.Qa4!.
"[This move is] known," said Robson," but maybe he didn't know it that well."
The very first outing of 16.Qc1, in a 2005 game between Anand and Kramnik, saw Kramnik lose in just 20 moves after 16...Na5?! 17.c4! Qe4? (17...Qd8) 18.Bd1! Qd3 19.Re3 Qxc4 20.Re5 1–0.
17.Qb2 Na5 18.Ne5 Bxe5 19.Bxe5 Qb3 20.Qd2 Nc4?
"His last few moves were OK but he should have played [20...f6," said Robson.
21.Qg5 Nxe5 22.Qxf5 Nc4 23.Qc5
"I had seen this position before the game!" admitted Robson.
The natural move, but 23...Nb6 was safer.
"The critical moment," said Robson. "I sacrifice a piece but [my 30th move] is the key - his king had to come out and in time trouble he couldn't defend."
24...Rxe1+ 25.Rxe1 b6 26.Qc6 f5
26...Rf8 27.Qxc7 Nb5 would be fine for Black, but 27.a4! keeps up the pressure.
27.Bxf5!! Nxf5 28.Re8+ Kf7 29.Qd7+ Kf6
Now it seems that the back rank threats save the day for Black, but Robson has a surprise in store...
Struggling with the clock - while perhaps wondering if his opponent is still in his home preparation - Volokitin fails to put up maximum resistance. However even after the computer defence 30...Rf8 31.g4! Kg6! 32.Re6+ Kg5 33.gxf5 Qd1+ 34.Kg2 Qg4+ 35.Kf1 Kh5! White can play the simple 36.Qxc7 Rxf5 37.Qg3 and Black is unlikely to survive the rook ending.
31.g4! g6 32.f4! h6 33.h4! Qf7 34.Qxc8 1–0
The next day Volokitin threw everything at Robson but the 18-year-old Robson – who has happy memories of Tromso having gained one of his GM norms there – defended calmly and pocketed a second point, to move his FIDE rating ever-closer to 2650.
And so to the losers...
Chessplayers are not used to knock-out tournaments. Unlike tennis players, who are usually able to recover from a loss by starting a new tournament the following week, chessplayers are used to playing complete tournaments and the thought of going home after three days, with perhaps a month to wait before the next big event, feels very unpleasant. The thought that within a week 75% of the powerful World Cup field will have gone home does not assuage the pain of an early knock-out.
Ramirez's match against Russia's super-solid Evgeny Tomashevsky started with 4 draws, but then Tomashevksy looked to have decided the match with a win with Black in the first 10 minute playoff game. However one down with one to play, Ramirez employed a Benko Gambit to crush Tomashevksy and force the match into blitz games.
Ramirez won the first blitz game easily and needed only a draw to progress, but this time it was Tomashevsky who bounced back in style.
That left the ninth and final game – an Armageddon game where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4 but Black will win the match if he can draw....
Tromso World Cup
White: E. Tomashevsky
Black: A. Ramirez
Black has emerged from the opening in reasonable shape but soon the game goes haywire.
21.b4! Ne6?
21...Nxc3 22.Bxc3 Ne4 was safe enough.
22.Nxe4! dxe4 23.Nf5!?
Apparently a winning move, but in fact 23.Nc6! was a much better way of achieving the same goal.
23...Qxd1+? Desperation, since 23...Qa4 24.Nxg7 Nxg7 25.Qe1! looked even more disastrous. However the unlikely; 23...Nf4!! would have saved the day - "at least that's what they tell me," said Ramirez after the game.
24.Rxd1 Rxd1+ 25.Qxd1 Bxb2 26.Nd6 Rd8 27.Qb3 Rxd6 28.Qxb2
The rest is not too difficult for White because the Black pieces lack secure outposts.
28...Bc6 29.Kh2 Rd8 30.a3 h5 31.h4 b5 32.Qc3 Bb7 33.Ba2 Re8 34.Qe5 Kf8 35.Qd6+ Kg7 36.Qd7 1–0
And the tournament was over for Ramirez, who lost his second huge Armageddon match of the year.
Larry Christiansen also had reason to feel aggrieved that he was heading home. Christiansen was not given much chance against Laurent Fressinet, who had performed so impressively in this year's Alekhine Memorial tournament.
However Christiansen held his own in the first game, before erring just near the time control.
Tromso World Cup
White: L. Christiansen
Black: L. Fressinet
Fressinet has slowly been increasing the pressure, but just in time Christiansen finds counterplay...
35.e6! fxe6 36.Qxg6 Qf5 37.Qe8+?
Christiansen is unwilling to try his luck in the rook ending which arises after 37.Qxe6+ Qxe6 38.Rxe6 Rxb2 39.Rxa6 Rxb4 but in fact Black's pawns are very slow and after 40.Rc6! Rb3 41.Kf1 c3 42.Ke2 b4 43.Kd3 Rb2 44.f4 White should have little trouble securing the draw but pushing his kingside pawns until Black is forced to use his rook to take them, allowing White to eliminate the queenside pawns with Rc4.Instead Christiansen keeps searching for an attack which comes unstuck very quickly.
37...Kh7 38.Rf1 Rxb2 39.h5 c3 40.h6!? Kxh6 41.Kg2 Qd5+!
There goes the mating attack on the h file.
42.Kg1 c2 0–1
That loss left Christiansen needing a win with Black to level the match and the veteran 3-time US Champion very nearly pulled off a win with a classic attacking game that just needed the finishing touch....
Tromso World Cup
White: L. Fressinet
Black: L. Christiansen
Both sides seem to have exposed kings, but Christiansen shows that it is White who has more to worry about by playing...
24...Ba6! 25.Nd3
Desperation, since 25.Qxa6 Rxf2! 26.Kxf2 Qxh2+ 27.Kf3 Rf8+ is fatal for White.
25...c4! 26.Ne5 c3! 27.Qxa6 Rxf2?
Right idea, wrong move order. After 27...cxb2 28.Rab1 Rxf2! the attack runs like clockwork, e.g. 29.Kxf2 Rf8+ 30.Kg1 Bc5+ 31.Kh1 Rf2 32.Qc8+ Bf8 and White is doomed.
28.Kxf2 cxb2
28...Rxb2+ 29.Ke1!! leaves White's king safe while; 28...Qxh2+ 29.Kf3 Rf8+ 30.Nf7+! also interrupts the attack with fatal consequences for Black.
29.Kg1! bxa1Q 30.Rxa1
Now the weakness of Black's back rank prevents any knock-out blow. Christiansen tried
but after
31.Rb1! Rf8 32.Qa3
Black's advantage was gone and the game drawn after
32...Be7 33.Qxa7 Kg8 34.Nd7 Nf4 35.gxf4 Qg4+ 36.Kh1 Qxg6 37.Rb8 Qe4+ 38.Kg1 Qe1+ 39.Kg2 Qd2+ 40.Kg1 Rxb8 41.Qxb8+ Kh7 42.Qb5 Kh6 43.Qc6 Qe2 44.Ne5 Qxa2 45.Qf3 Bc5+ ½–½
Alexander Shabalov also had a tough task against an in-from Frenchman; Maxime Vachier Lagrave, who had just triumphed at the Biel GM tournament. However the 45-year-old was holding his own against Vachier until late in the first game...
Tromso World Cup
White: M. Vachier Lagrave
Black: A. Shabalov
Shabalov has been suffering pressure in the endgame and, with the time control approaching, he decides to make a break.
32...Bxc3+!? 33.bxc3 e5! 34.f5 Rd7 35.Re6
35.Bh5+ is tempting but after 35...Kg8 (35...Kf8? 36.Bc5! is unpleasant for Black.) 36.Rxc6 Bxh5! Black has good chances to hold the resulting opposite bishops endgame.
35...Re7 36.Rd6 Rd7 37.Rg6!? Rd3?!
37...Kf8! would leave the rook embarrassed and White may have nothing better than 38.f6 , liquidating to a draw.
38.Be2! Rxc3
It is too late to go back as then 39.Bc4+ will be a winner. 39.Kd2! 1-0
At first sight the Black rook is completely trapped - and here the game ended - but it turns out that Black could possibly save the game after 39.Kd2 Nd4!! e.g. 40.Kxc3 Nxe2+ 41.Kd2 Nf4, winning a kingside pawn with excellent drawing chances.
The next day offered no solace for a dispirited Shabalov. Vachier found a sensible pawn sacrifice to kill Shabalov's initiative in a Sicilian Defence and the Frenchman picked up the full point when Shabalov over-extended.
Gregory Kaidanov lost the sort of rook endgame he probably teaches his students on a weekly basis....
Tromso World Cup
White: G. Kaidanov
Black: A. Areshchenk
Kaidanov cost himself the match against the Ukraine's Areschenko by losing this endgame, which is not quite as trivially drawn as it looks.
49...h5! 50.gxh5+ Kh6 51.h4 Re5 52.Kg3 Rxh5 53.Ra8 Rb5
The liquidation has led to another drawn rook ending, but this is one which Carlsen famously lost to Aronian in Linares 2009 - just before Carlsen started working with Kasparov and his endgame knowledge improved exponentially.
54.Rc8 Kh5 55.Rh8+ Kg6 56.Ra8 Kf5 57.Ra3 Rb4 58.Ra5+ Kg6 59.Rc5 f5 60.Ra5 Rb3+ 61.Kg2 Rb6 62.Kg3 Kf6 63.Kf4 Rb4+ 64.Kg3 Rg4+ 65.Kh3 Re4 66.Kg3 g6 67.Ra7 Re3+ 68.Kg2 Re7 69.Ra5 Re5 70.Ra7 Rd5 71.Kg3 Rd3+ 72.Kg2 f4 73.Ra5 Rg3+ 74.Kh2 Re3 75.Kg2
Carlsen's technique, which involved repositioning his rook along the lines of 75.Rb5 Re5 76.Rb1 Kf5 77.Kh3 Re3+ 78.Kh2 Kg4 79.Rg1+ should also be sufficient for a draw.
75...Re5 76.Ra8 Kf5 77.Rg8 Re2+ 78.Kf3 Re3+ 79.Kg2 Rg3+ 80.Kf2 Rh3 81.Rh8 Kg4
By now White's position is hanging by a thread and only 82.Rh6! Rh2+ (82...Kf5 83.Rh8!) 83.Kg1 Rxh4 84.Rxg6+ Kf3 85.Ra6! hangs on. The text move looks equally good but the White rook now becomes overloaded.
82...Rf3+! 83.Ke2
If 83.Kg2 Rg3+ followed by 84...Kxh4 wins.
83...Re3+ 84.Kf2 Re6 85.Rh8 Ra6!
Now the White rook cannot prevent Black from either winning the h pawn or advancing his king and f pawn.
86.Rf8 Ra2+ 87.Ke1 Kf3
The computer, with tablebases guaranteeing perfect chess with limited pieces, wants to play 87...Kxh4 88.Rxf4+ Kg3 when apparently Black is winning. Areschenko preferes a more human method of converting his advantage.
88.Rf6 Ra1+ 89.Kd2 Rg1 90.Kd3 Rg4 91.Kd2 Kf2 0-1
Black will play ...f3, exchange the h pawn for the g-pawn, and then reach the classic Lucena position.
The following day Kaidanov could make no impression with Black and so was eliminated.
Conrad Holt, the second youngest of the Americans, stayed with his experienced Russian opponent for most of his two games but in the end Vitiugov's consistency won through.
Tromso World Cup
White: N. Vitiugov
Black: C. Holt
The players are approaching the first time control of a hard-fought game where Vitiugov managed to find counterplay every time Holt seemed to be consolidating. Now Holt has some weak pawns to worry about but the natural move he chose...
turned out to be fatal. Instead 38...Nf4! intending to meet 39.Nxc6 with 39...Bd5, would have left White with only a minuscule advantage.
Now, however, White has a worrying number of attacking pieces pointed at the Black king.
39...Bd5 meets the same response.
40.Nd6! h6
40...Kh8 was the unlikely computer suggestion to enable Black to survive but after 41.Ndf7+ Bxf7 42.Nxf7+ Kg7 (42...Kg8 43.Re7) 43.Nd6 their is no reprieve for the Black king.
41.Nd3! Rb3 42.Re7+ Kg6
From here the king will be hunted to extinction but on 42...Kh8 43.Ne5 Bd5 44.Ne8! would end any resistance.
43.Ne5+ Kh5 44.Rg7 Be6 45.Ne4 Ne2+ 46.Kh1 Rd8 47.Nf6+ Kh4 48.Ng6+ Kg5 49.h4# 1-0
In the second game Holt tried to make something happen with a tricky exchange sacrifice in an endgame, but Vitiugov held firm and when Holt pressed too hard he was out, 0–2.
The round 2 pairings for the US players are as follows:
Kamsky v Shimanov, a little-known Russian who knocked out England's Gawain Jones in the first round.
Onischuk v Dominguez Perez the talented Cuban who ran close to the wind in defeating Egypt's Essam El Gindy 2-0 in the first round.
Robson v Ivanchuk, perhaps the match of the round – the 18-year-old rising star against the Ukrainian living legend.
Nakamura v Safarli, the 21-year-old Azeri who was extremely lucky to get past another Egyptian Bassem Amin to reach the second round.
Games begin at 9am AEST time and can be viewed with commentary by Susan Polgar and Laurence Trent on the official tournament web site http://www.chessworldcup2013.com/

Place of plenty: Dinner supports Greenfield Hill Grange
When it was founded more than 120 years ago, the Greenfield Hill Grange was a place where local farmers gathered to talk shop and socialize.
The agricultural community that once was the foundation of the grange's membership is almost entirely gone now, but the Hillside Road organization now is a place that continues to support state farms and sustainability efforts, and still is a place where the community can come together to socialize.
On Saturday, good food and company were both plentiful as the grange hosted a pasta dinner, which also raised money for its operation and maintenance.
The hearty fare included ziti, homemade meatballs, sausage, garlic bread, tossed salad and cheesecake with coffee. Many of the diners brought along their own wine and beer to add to the good cheer.
Among those enjoying the dinner were state Rep. Kim Fawcett and Representative Town Meeting member Jay Wolk.
Musical entertainment, including acoustic guitar by Beth Bradley, capped the evening.

THL Toolbox > Community & Communication > IRC Chatting
IRC Chatting
Contributor(s): David Germano.
IRC (short for Internet Relay Chat) is a form of real-time internet chat designed to promote conversations between groups of people in discussion forums called channels. It's a a great method for a group of people working together across geographical distances to collaborate. The basic idea is that you create "channel" which is devoted to a specific group, and then the group members subscribe to it. Each group member has a nickname.
When you open up the IRC client, you then can choose that channel and you will see a list of the nicknames of all members of that channel currently logged in listed on the left. Thus essentially you just keep the window open all day while working. It enables a type of "hive mind" approach, and is quite different than one-on-one chatting that is often done through IM programs like Google Talk, MSN Messenger and so forth. Those programs do allow you to add in other people to have multi-party chatting, but such a deliberate decision to talk to 2-3 or more people is quite different than an established community of people devoted to a specific subject who are constantly online. In addition, all discussions are archived, so that you can review discussions over many days at any point – thereby keeping a record of the community's discussions.
In contrast to discussion forums, there are real time notifications of someone trying to get your attention – if you type the person's nickname, their task bar will flash and a sound alert will go off. That is an important feature since you can't stare at the screen all day watching for someone to speak to you. In addition, entry of comments is easier and simpler than a discussion forum, so more likely to be done.
It thus combines the advantages of an IM program – you can talk in real time, and call out through the Internet to get someone's attention – with the advantages of a discussion forum – you can go back at any time and see all the previous discussions. In addition, it is focused on the notion of communities of people with common concerns and how to facilitate their collaboration.
IRC is also an open protocol, unlike AIM / Yahoo Messenger / Google Talk / MSN Messenger. Thus you can download an IRC client for any platform and choose from different clients.
How do you get involved? First, download and install an IRC client. If you're on Mac, we highly recommend Colloquy. If you use Firefox on Windows, try a chatzilla plugin that also works well. Then create a new connection to an IRC server and connect to the relevant network, and join the channel you want. For example, for THL tech, connect to irc.freenode.net, and then join the THL channel. Or rubycodejam, which is the ruby programmers in Charlottesville and Richmond.
For Pidgin, go to http://www.pidgin.im/index.php and download the installer. Then double click on the installer to install. When installing, on the "Select Components to Install", check the "shortcuts: desktop and start menu" so you will have easy access to start up the application.

Over 59,000 miles... they should have circled the Denver airport a few more times and gotten to 60.
if they make it there g-man
Quote from: Kogs on May 03, 2006, 09:55:25 AMif they make it there g-man do you know something we don't kogs?
Sorry the Dani and Danielle were not good racers. In my Thread Ranking of Route Completion. You will see that even from equilized places the best leg this team ever had was 5th.They sucked at navigating. And that in and of itself is enough to doom them, But they also made huge mistakes. Really at best they should have got one more leg out of the race. And that leg was an drive yourself leg (it would have killed them).And while you might argue that hey Ray and Yolanda should have been eliminated without the Yileld (which is true). But Ray and Yolanda who are also navigationally challenged had their worst leg (time lost while navigating) on this leg. So even with them being eliminated (ray and Yolanda) they very next leg, was another complicated driving episode and I just can't see this team making it past that leg.I liked the girls they were fun, but they weren't great competition.

GreenLeaf Genetics LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syngenta, announced on June 5 that it has acquired JGL, Inc., a seed genetics licensing company focused on soybean and wheat genetics licensing to the seed industry.
"The acquisition of JGL is an important move for Syngenta and our independent seed company customers," said Ron Wulfkuhle, head of GreenLeaf. "Now we will be able to offer independent seed companies even more soybean licensing options, and also will be adding wheat licensing opportunities to the portfolio. The addition of JGL wheat licensing is complementary to the Syngenta wheat portfolio that is distributed through the AgriPro associates business."
Based in Plymouth, Ind., JGL serves two major types of customers — genetic and trait developers, for which they provide additional access to the broad seed market through licensing and marketing opportunities, and seed companies that utilize them as a source for genetics.
"Through GreenLeaf, Syngenta is committed to the growth of the independent seed company sector," said David Morgan, region director of Syngenta in North America and president of Syngenta Seeds, Inc. "Syngenta is very excited about the additional opportunities we will now offer our independent seed company customers through this acquisition."
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Letter to the House on the Continuing Resolution for FY 2013
March 21, 2013
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the more than three million members of the National Education Association, we urge you to vote NO on H.R. 933, the Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY 2013 as amended by the Senate, which still fails to eliminate devastating and arbitrary across-the-board cuts to education. Votes associated with this issue may be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 113th Congress.
The CR simply accepts the sequester's indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts, slashing non-defense discretionary programs, including education, by 5 percent—the equivalent of cutting nearly all education programs and Head Start by roughly $3 billion. Services or financial aid will be reduced or eliminated for more than 7 million of our neediest students, and the jobs of tens of thousands of educators put at risk when Congress should be working to help create jobs.
Students will feel the blow of the cuts as fewer educators, reading coaches, and counselors lead to ballooning class sizes, elimination of tutoring and after-school programs, and less individual attention.
These cuts take us in the wrong direction as a nation. Education funding will be rolled back to pre-2004 levels, despite the fact that we have nearly 6 million more students in our schools today (counting higher education) than we did back then.
We oppose the federal pay freeze included in the CR, which affects educators who work on Department of Defense bases. These public servants, who educate and serve the sons and daughters of our men and women in uniform, already face furloughs of as many as 22 days between now and the end of the fiscal year—the equivalent of a 20 percent pay cut because of the sequester. They and their students deserve better.
Instead of asking the middle class and students to make further sacrifices, we should be calling on corporations and the very wealthy to pay their fair share. As just one example, closing the loophole that allows corporations to defer taxes on offshore profits could generate some $600 billion in revenue over 10 years, or nearly twice the $337 billion needed to fully fund the federal share of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Instead, the CR cuts special education funding by well over $600 million.
Slashing education funding is short-sighted. By allowing the sequester cuts to continue, the CR harms our students as well as our economy—today and in the future. We urge you to vote NO on H.R. 933.

Director, Government Relations

Idaho gay marriages on hold
BOISE, Idaho — A federal appeals court has temporarily put plans for Idaho same-sex weddings on hold while it considers the state's request for a longer stay.
The state's gay marriage ban was overturned Tuesday when U.S. District Judge Candy Dale said the law unconstitutionally denied gay and lesbian residents their fundamental right to marry. Dale said Idaho must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples starting Friday morning.
Story Continued Below
But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday put the weddings on hold while it considers a request for a longer stay while the governor and attorney general appeal the case.
The four couples who sued to get Idaho's ban overturned had asked the court to allow the weddings to begin.
Gay marriage is legal in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

Pink purse
I crocheted myself another purse - it's made with 1 strand RHSS and 1 strand Bernat boucle using an L hook. The poodle applique I bought from Joann Fabrics.

Pillows and the beginning of an afghan
Here's some pictures of a couple of projects. The 2 pillows are simple granny squares crocheted with 1 strand fun fur and 1 strand RHSS. The pink one is for me (of course) and the variegated one is for Erica.
The round ripple I am crocheting for my car. I've always had an afghan in my car - I don't exactly know why.
**here's an updated photo of my round ripple - not very much progress - I've lost a lot of crocheting time when I started working.**

New car
Hey everyone - look what I bought Friday afternoon after work. A 2005 PT Cruiser. Cool looking - it's my gangster car. I bought it from Melvin Motors and get this - it used to belong to a "little old lady from Florida". Ha-ha. Actually, it did and it's kind of sad. The lady had bought it brand new in 2005 and only had it for a year and a half before she died. Her daughter went down to Florida to take care of her affairs and brought the car home with her. She then sold it to Melvin Motors who then sold it to me. The mileage was only 15,125 and I also got a CarFax report from the salesman so I know the story is true. Happy for me but sad for the daughter.
That's my little Mazda in the background - I'm going to give it to my nephew Travis. Bobby already has Vince's Subaru. I can't believe how fast time goes by - it seems like yesterday they were teeny little boys watching cartoons and pretending they were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers.

Plastic Chef Neelix
"What kind of cook thinks that increased heat equals less cooking time? A bad one!" Chuck Sonnenburg.
This page is dedicated to the general cooking fail that is Neelix.
Neelix does not respect the tastes of others
It is something that that many good chefs are known for is to tinker with recipes in order to improve upon them or to overcome a missing ingredient that isn't available. Neelix does not do this well and in fact he finds ways to force his own versions of dishes on those he is serving even when every part of the original recipe is available. [1] He seems to think that no matter what he is told that his special additions are always an improvement and is flummoxed at the very idea that someone could dislike his new version of the dish. This includes the additions of spices that he is constantly told that the patrons can't stand. This goes so far as to insist that when food is smuggled out of his kitchen because someone wanted to make a dish their way rather then his required some type of punishment. [2] It's understandable on a minor level that he would try to convince them that using locally available supplies are a worthwhile effort but if something does not please the pallet of a patron you shouldn't force it onto them. No this is not the same as convincing children to eat their vegetables, as the items he insists on adding are only flavor enhancers not items of any real nutritional value.
Neelix always cooks his food on high
It's somewhat understandable in the context of filming something cooking on screen to use an obviously visible flame but what we see Neelix doing goes well beyond that. In every cooking operation we see Neelix doing he is always doing so with the flames so high that fire licks up to sometimes half the height of the sides of the stock pot he is preparing sauce in. Something that any good cook will tell you is, those kinds of heat levels are only useful in a vary narrow number of applications, wok based cooking is a good example. This goes to explain why we see Neelix overcooking or even outright burning food on multiple occasions. [3]
Ignoring that it then brings up the massive waste of resources represented by his constant cooking at such high levels. We are constantly being told that power reserves are precious to then see Neelix constantly overusing energy to cook the food that is suppose to be helping. No matter how the technobabble is explained to us it doesn't change one detail that the energy is being used very inefficiently to do tasks where not even close to those levels is required.
Neelix thinks that higher temperatures equals faster cooking times.
This next section is partially related to the above point but not entirely as it showcases a different cooking related issue. In the episode Flashback, a technobable material in a nebula is discovered that Neelix says they could inject into his cooking array and cook his meals in half the time. Because of the level of techno gibberish in this scene it's isn't right away obvious the assumption that Neelix is making here. To make it clear doubling the combustion rate of his burner is suppose to half the rate his cooking will take to finish. This leads into something that is often called "Oven Logic"[1] and is failing made by many amateur cooks. Doubling the power of your burner does not half the cooking time, or any other linear expectation, because of the complex chemical interactions that takes place whenever you cook anything.
Neelix lacks even basic sauce making skills.
Neelix is seen in the episode, Learning Curve, to be making macaroni and cheese where his solution for making a cheese-based sauce was to take a chunk of solid cheese and just toss it into a pot filled with macaroni and leave it at that. While with some soft young cheeses this is possible, even with those kind of cheeses an experience cook will melt the cheese into a separate saucepan and integrate it into a sauce then add that to the pasta. Also this is another place where his inability to ever turn down his burners will generally spell disaster as the pasta would be very over cooked before the cheese will become anything close to a stable sauce.
His high burners also means that when he is making a large amount of a spaghetti-type sauce he is required to make use of constant tending of the stew-pot that the sauce is cooking in in order to prevent it from burning. This is something that does not tend to produce a tomato sauce that will have much of anything that could be called good flavor or texture. This may be the reason Tom Paris expressed annoyance at the quality of his Spaghetti. [4]
Neelix does not seem to understand basic food safety principles
Once again we are forced to look to the disaster that was Learning Curve. Neelix has made a batch of homemade cheese and the manner he is storing this cheese is in a bell jar-like container on the counter in his kitchen. While there are a few cheeses that can be stored in a room temperature state(none of which Neelix had the resources to make) without much worry most experienced cooks will still store them in a refrigerated environment as that is just one extra precaution against food poisoning. The danger-zone is a very real concern and as evidenced by Neelix managing to infect the ship itself with his cheese just begs the bigger question of how many food poisoning cases was the Doctor dealing with that they just didn't care to show us.
Neelix solution for cleaning greens for use in a salad was to shake them off and set them on the counter. [5]
Neelix is not a good example for anyone on how to operate a kitchen in any sense of the word. It is a sad reality that a cook book that has been produced featuring Neelix on the cover. I'd rather see the book with Sisko on the cover as at least he seems to know what he is doing. The sad part of this book is the recipes that had to have been created by competent chefs that are now associated with this insult to culinary arts that is Neelix.

Weve added the plugin mcMMO to the SlapGaming server to revamp the survival experience!
mcMMO is a plugin that allows you to level up skills and unlocks certain abilities. Some of these abilities include double drops with mining & massive attack bonuses when fighting.
There are 14 skills (and 2 child-skills) to train in, each with its own bonuses.
Check out the mcMMO wiki if you want to see what mcMMO contains or if you just want to look up some functions of it! Beware that some functions/timers/abilities can be different on SLAP due to various reasons.
A couple of important things:
- The plugin (and its commands) are only available in these survival worlds:
- Old Survival
- New Survival
- Resource worlds
- Nether (PVP Enabled!)
- There are a couple of abilities disabled.
They are disabled as they are deemed to dangerous/powerful. We might unlock them later, but we need more discussion about this.
- Woodcutting -> TreeFeller
- Mining -> Super Breaker
- Mining -> Blast Mining
- Excavation -> Giga Drill Breaker
- A couple of abilities are temporary disabled.
They are disabled because we first need a full integration with WorldGuard.
- Herbalism -> Green Terra/Shroom Thumb/Green Thumb on Blocks
- Unarmed -> Blockcracker
- Abilities are activated by clicking the right mouse button while holding Shift (crouch)
We will hopefully have some kind of Tutorial section up soon or atleast a guide on the forums. If you find any bugs or have suggestions, please let us know in the bugs/suggestions forum section!
We hope you enjoy mcMMO and well see you on the server!

Motus Motorcycles is back on the radar after their mysterious awakening back in April. Along with slightly less cryptic information about their MST V4 sport-tourer, Motus has announced their partnership with Pratt & Miller.
If you're not familiar with Pratt & Miller, they've made quite a name for themselves in the automotive endurance racing scene developing chassis in the American Le Mans Series, Rolex Grand-Am series, NASCAR, and have won the 24 hours of Le Mans six times in the GT1 category. Pratt & Miller have also worked with the US military in developing missiles and other classified projects.

Ronaldo joined Sporting's different youth players United Nations agency trained at the world Sporting, the club's soccer academy, in Alcochete. He became the sole player ever to play for Sporting's under-16, under-17, under-18, B-team, and also the team, all at intervals one season.[23] He scored 2 goals in his league debut on seven Gregorian calendar month 2002, that Sporting CP won 3–0 against Moreirense, whereas that includes for Portuguese Republic within the 2002 European Under-17 Championship.[24]
At the age of fifteen, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a sport heart, a condition that may have forced him to convey up enjoying soccer. The Sporting employees were created awake to the condition and Ronaldo's mother gave her authorisation for him to travel into hospital.[25] whereas there, he had Associate in Nursing operation during which a optical device was wont to cauterise the world of his heart that was inflicting the matter. The surgery befell within the morning and Ronaldo was discharged from hospital by the top of the afternoon; he resumed coaching solely a couple of days later.[26] At the age of sixteen, the club's Romanian manager László Bölöni promoted Ronaldo from the youth team and gave him the prospect of an expert debut. He declared that he had to touch upon the spectacular variety of dribbles that Ronaldo was doing.[27]

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire control circuit and the 3-wire control circuit. The 2-wire control circuit uses maintained contact devices to control the magnetic motor starter. The 3-wire control circuit uses momentary contact devices to control the magnetic motor starter.
A typical 2-wire control circuit is shown in Fig. 1 (click here to see Fig. 1). It consists of a normally open maintained contact device that, when closed, energizes the coil of a magnetic motor starter, which, in turn, energizes the connected motor load. The 2-wire control circuit provides what is known as "low-voltage release." In the event of a power failure, the magnetic motor starter will drop out. Once power is restored, the magnetic motor starter will automatically re-energize, provided that none of the maintained contact devices have changed state. This can be very advantageous in applications such as refrigeration or air conditioning where you do not need someone to restart the equipment after a power failure. However, it can be extremely dangerous in applications where equipment starts automatically, placing the operator in danger.
A typical 3-wire control circuit is shown in Fig. 2 (click here to see Fig. 2). It consists of a normally closed stop button (STOP), a normally open start button (START), a sealing contact (M), and the coil of a magnetic motor starter. When the normally open start button is pressed, the coil of the magnetic motor starter is energized. An auxiliary contact seals around the start button to provide a latched circuit. Pressing the normally closed stop button disrupts the circuit. The 3-wire control circuit provides what is known as "low-voltage protection." In the event of a power failure, the magnetic motor starter will drop out. In this case, however, once power is restored the magnetic motor starter will not automatically re-energize. The operator must press the start button to initiate the sequence of operations once again.
Compared to the 2-wire control circuit, the 3-wire control circuit provides much more safety to the operator because machinery will not automatically start once power has been restored. Figure 3 (click here to see Fig. 3) illustrates a control circuit with multiple start and stop push buttons. In this circuit, multiple normally closed stop buttons are placed in series, and multiple normally open start buttons are placed in parallel to operate a magnetic motor starter. This is a common application of a 3-wire control circuit in which you need to start and stop the same motor from multiple locations within the facility. The 3-wire control circuit can be used in a variety of ways to meet specific circuit application.
The power circuit
Typically, single-phase motors can be started with full voltage across the line. Smaller horsepower 3-phase motors can also be started with full voltage across the line. However, larger horsepower 3-phase motors require you to use reduced voltage starting techniques.
The power circuit used in full voltage across-the-line starting consists of the overcurrent protective device (OCPD); the line conductors that terminate on the L1, L2, and L3 terminals; the magnetic motor starter or solid-state device; and the load conductors that terminate on the T1, T2, and T3 terminals. The power circuit is sized according to the voltage rating of the motor load (i.e., 115V, 200V, 230V, 460V, or 575V). The control circuit can operate at the same voltage as the power circuit as well as at lower voltages by using a machine tool transformer to step down the voltage to lower levels.
The electric utility typically has rules in place for how large a motor you can start across the line. Once the horsepower of a motor exceeds that rating, reduced voltage starting techniques must be used. Motors are inductive loads; therefore, they have very high starting currents in the range of 2.5 to 10 times the full load running current of the motor. This excessive inrush current (also called locked rotor current) causes voltage fluctuations on the power lines. You probably have observed the effect of inrush current whenever the lights in a building dip when an HVAC piece of equipment comes online. When this excessive inrush current is drawn from the voltage source for a few seconds, it causes a voltage drop. This voltage drop means a lower voltage is available to equipment, causing lighting fixtures, in particular, to reduce their light output.
Reduced voltage starters
There are primarily six styles of reduced voltage starters: primary resistor, reactor, autotransformer, part winding, wye-delta, and solid-state.
Primary resistor starters use resistors in series with the motor leads during the start function. Because this is now a series circuit, the applied voltage between the series resistor and the motor winding drops, causing a lower starting current. A timing relay operates a control relay whose contacts short the series resistors once startup is achieved.
Reactor starters operate in the same manner except reactors are used instead of resistors. The use of reactor-type starters are far less common today than in the past.
Autotransformer starters rely on tapped autotransformers for operation. The taps are typically set at 50%, 65%, or 80% of the available line voltage. Relying on the concept of "turns ratio" in a transformer, this type of starter allows for smaller currents on the line side as seen by the electric utility and larger currents on the load side as seen by the motor during startup. An autotransformer is different from a 2-winding transformer in that it does not provide electrical isolation between the primary and secondary windings. A step-up autotransformer is known as a "boosting" transformer, and a step-down autotransformer is referred to as a "bucking" transformer.
Do you recall the concept of turns ratio for a transformer? When looking at voltage, you rely on the following formula:
(Vprimary ÷ Vsecondary) = (Nprimary ÷ Nsecondary).
When looking at current, you rely on the following formula:
(Iprimary ÷ Isecondary) = (Nsecondary ÷ Nprimary).
Let's review a simple example for illustration of this concept. A 1kVA transformer has a 240V primary and a 120V secondary voltage rating. The primary current is 4.17A at 240V, and the secondary current is 8.33A at 120V. By simply plugging in the values to the aforementioned equation, you can easily see the transformer has a 2:1 turns ratio. What does this mean? It simply means the voltage is stepped down by a factor of two while the current is stepped up by a factor of two. This principle allows the autotransformer-type starter to operate.
The part-winding starter is designed to work with a part-winding motor, which features two identical sets of windings. You can use 230V/460V dual-voltage motors, but you must do so with extreme caution. The concept is that a 230V/460V motor operated at 230V does so with its windings in parallel. Therefore, one half of the motor windings are in the circuit during startup. Then, a few seconds later, the other half of the motor windings are brought into the circuit. Serious problems can develop if the timing circuit does not connect the other half of the motor windings immediately after startup. For example, if the control circuit does not connect the delta windings of the motor back together after startup, the motor will fail.
A wye-delta starter operates by allowing the motor to be started in a wye configuration and run in a delta configuration. Using this design configuration allows the inrush current to be lower during startup while still maintaining a starting torque of approximately 33%, a percent rating of rated torque of the motor during startup. Open transition is an important concept to keep in mind with wye-delta starters because there will be a period of time between the wye configuration for start and the delta configuration for run when the motor windings will be disconnected. Closed transition starters overcome this disadvantage but at a much higher cost.
Solid-state starters are often called "soft start" starters because they rely on silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) to accomplish the starting task. The SCR has three elements: anode, cathode, and gate. By applying a signal to the gate element at precisely the right time, you can control how much current the SCR will either pass or block during a cycle. This is known as phase control. The ability of this device to allow either partial conduction or full conduction during a cycle offers much flexibility to the design engineer. This capability allows for precise control of current to a motor during startup. Solid-state reduced voltage starters are in common use today because they interface well with variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
