Review of chess pictures::What Is the Definition of Checkmate








The               best-selling               book,               The               Secret,               assures               its               readers               that               people               attract               their               own               reality.

As               focused               as               I               am               on               positive               thinking,               feeling               and               imagery               to               accomplish               goals,               I               consider               meteorological               challenges               an               anomaly               to               these               alleged               cosmic               rules.

Sometimes               things               happen               simply               because               they               happen,               such               as               a               tsunami,               tornado,               or               Perfect               Storm               scenario.

During               bad-weather               season,               upbeat               visualizations               to               shield               one's               family               urgently               need               to               be               paired,               I               believe,               with               pro-active               steps.

Having               been               a               "participant"               (which               I               prefer               over               victim)               of               "Hurricane               Class               of               2004"               I               have               developed               the               following               recommendations.

They               will               help               you               graduate               to               a               higher               level               of               observation,               and               involvement               in               prevention-methods.
               For               those               planning               to               move,               or               to               remain               in               a               subtropical               /               hot               weather               climate,               let's               explore               the               importance               of               adapting               to               an               unwieldy               season.

The               latter               officially               begins               June               1               and               ends               November               30               each               year.
               Experiencing               a               hurricane               means               being               challenged               by               a               highly               intensified               game               of               checkers               and               perhaps               chess.

The               momentous               force,               with               its               boastful               "king               me,               queen               me"               attitude,               lord               of               all               it               surveys,               may               hurl               forward,               reverse               itself,               move               zigzag               across               an               entire               region,               circle,               weaken               then               fortify,               touch               down               then               hover,               surround,               becalm,               inch               forward               or               leap               ahead,               veer               wherever               its               hungry               eye               gazes.
               You,               the               pawn               or               rook,               try               to               survive,               to               outwit,               outplay,               outlast,               knowing               you               can               never               outlaw,               restrain,               a               force               of               nature.

You               may               attempt               to               move               forward               when               your               turn               comes.

In               this               modified               unusual               tournament,               you               are               even               allowed               to               shift               horizontally,               left               coast               to               right               coast,               or               vice               versa.

Nevertheless,               very               limited               options.

Checkmate?

Hopefully,               the               game               ends               in               your               favor.
               The               one               definite               rule               about               hurricanes               is               that               they               are               never               predictable.
               An               irony               exists               regarding               sub-tropical               mainland               and               island-life.

Attracting               tourists               and               transplants,               the               shimmering               summery               philosophy               "Live               for               today"               actually               becomes               a               useless,               even               dangerous,               cliché               during               imminent               storm               formations.
               Here's               the               most               perceptive               way               to               dwell               in               a               tropical               climate:               Prepare               physically               and               emotionally               for               potential               emergencies.

Then,               de-stress.

Relax,               enjoy               your               beach-oriented               lifestyle               with               its               "no               plans"               framework.
               Let's               focus               on               several               invaluable               guidelines:
               1.

Before               moving               to               a               hurricane-prone               region,               start               now               to               change               the               way               you               think.
               An               "alert               but               relaxed"               mindset               is               the               ideal               way               to               approach               your               upcoming               tropical               or               subtropical               experience.
               Re-tune               your               habits.

Make               a               strenuous               effort               to               drop               patterns               of               procrastination               or               laziness.
               (a)               Obtain               and               review               all               the               hurricane-preparedness               packets               of               information               distributed               by               government               and               community               organizations.

Google               "How               To               Prepare               For               A               Hurricane,"               and/or               access               websites               such               as:               www.ready.gov/america/beinformed/hurricanes.html               and               www.redcross.org
               If               you               intend               to               live               in               or               near               Florida,               check               the               advice               of               three               sites:               tampabay.com               and               miami.about.com               and               also               gulf-coast.com
               In               this               way               you               become               familiar               with               advance               procedures               and               jargon.

When               and               if               a               storm               threatens,               you'll               already               be               adept               at               knowing               the               difference               when               you               hear               "hurricane               watch"               versus               "hurricane               warning"               applied               to               your               vicinity.

You'll               perform               without               anguish               or               confusion               the               appropriate               actions               as               a               result.
               (b)               Pack               Lightly:
               a.

Sentimentalists,               be               willing               to               adapt               now,               before               transplanting               yourselves               to               a               moody               climate.

Prior               to               moving,               it's               better               to               release               attachment               to               a               great               many               packrat               memorabilia               and               furnishings.

Better               that               you               yourself               decide               what               leaves               your               life               than               have               a               hurricane               do               so,               as               was               my               case.
               (c)               Choose               the               proper               storage               facility               before               you               move:
               Research,               call               ahead,               and               arrange               your               storage               needs               before               you               set               forth               on               your               relocation               journey.

If               there               are               invaluable               items               that               you               feel               you               must               keep,               don't               wait               until               a               weather               emergency               develops               to               look               for               storage               for               your               now               vulnerable               belongings.

By               then,               the               pertinent               companies               will               have               no               vacancies.
               Even               after               contracting               with               the               best               company               for               your               interests,               be               aware               of               basic               risk.

Not               all               such               businesses               are               constructed               to               withstand               winds               over               174               miles               per               hour               or               more.

If               you               do               find               a               building               featuring               that               capacity,               realize               that               there               often               seems               to               be               one               unexpected               mean               bully               of               a               hurricane,               that               appears               out               of               nowhere,               determined               to               mock               modern               efforts               to               contain               it.

No               possession               is               always               100%               secure.
               Ongoing               storage               proves               costly.

Streamline               your               belongings               and               remember               before               moving               to               reserve               a               unit               per               your               surplus               goods.
               (d)               )               Invest               now               in               a               specialized               radio               that               is               customized               for               local               up-to-the-minute               updates               on               climate               changes               per               your               future               residential               district.

Search               the               internet               for               "weather               alert               radios"               or               access               the               NOAA               Weather               Radio.com               site.
               A               weather               radio               will               signal               warning               sounds,               at               any               hour               of               night               or               day,               should               dangerous               weather               conditions               evolve.

You               are               immediately               alerted               to               pressing               information,               demanding               your               attention               and               protective               efforts.
               (e)               Cull               from               the               hurricane               preparedness               sheets               you've               read,               a               list               of               emergency               tools               you               will               purchase               soon               after               you               move.
               (2)               After               arriving               at               your               new               warm-weather               destination:
               Without               delay,               purchase               the               itemized               emergency               products.
               Measure,               cut,               drill,               whatever               needs               to               be               refashioned               or               adjusted.

Don't               let               the               loveliness               of               your               surroundings               or               the               comfort               of               the               climate               at               that               point               of               year               (assuming               you're               not               re-locating               during               foul               weather-time)               override               the               need               for               foresight.
               In               this               way,               your               weather               radio,               supplies,               pre-measured               plywood,               the               previously               drilled               holes               around               windows               for               the               plywood               to               be               quickly               installed,               etc.

are               already               in               place.
               Always               keep               your               vehicle's               tank               filled               for               abrupt               departures.

Carry               within               your               wallet               the               phone               numbers               of               out-of-state               relatives,               disaster               hotlines,               even               prayer               hotlines,               for               possible               future               need               and               providing               cell               phones               are               functional.

Also               have               ready               a               list               of               designated               shelters.

Should               it               ever               happen               that               you               are               staying               in               a               shelter               during               a               hurricane               crisis,               usually               the               supervising               agency               will               have               at               least               one               cell               phone.

The               waiting               lines               will               be               long,               but               displaced               residents               do               have               a               chance               to               call               worried               relatives               out-of-state,               or               whomever               they               feel               must               be               contacted.
               Keep               current               maps               of               your               region,               state,               and               nearby               states               in               your               vehicle.

Configure               and               mark               clearly               alternate               routes               leading               away               from               your               region               to               several               possible               "safe"               spots.
               Make               emergency               preparedness               an               automatic,               almost               casual               part               of               your               daily               life,               regardless               of               the               season.

It               will               reduce               the               tension               tremendously,               the               quantity               of               decisions,               during               a               fermenting               atmospheric               upheaval.
               3..

Live               Simply               Year-Round:
               A               tropical               home               is               at               its               best               exhibiting               a               kind               of               Zen-like               primitiveness.

Try               not               to               replace               objects               discarded               before               re-locating.

Avoid               purchasing               or               display               ing               knick-knacks.

Reduce               the               amount               of               photographs               or               pictures               hanging               on               the               walls.

Avoid               the               temptation               of               adorning               your               lawn               or               garden               with               charming               statues               and               objects.

Keep               one               set               of               tableware/dinnerware,               that               is,               one               everyday               set               of               attractive               dishes               that               may               be               utilized               for               serving               guests               formally               as               well.
               The               less               you               have               in               the               home,               the               less               you               have               to               worry               about,               fuss               over,               figure               out               how               to               remove               and               where               to               store               safely               if               and               when               a               weather               emergency               arises.

You               can't               miss               or               pine               for               what               you               never               bought               in               the               first               place,               should               your               neighborhood               be               confronted               with               potential               storm               damage.
               Even               if               you               have               no               intention               of               moving               South,               harbour               an               "It's               not               just               the               tropics,               stupid"               mentality."               Hurricanes               may               and               do               occur               in               diverse               areas               throughout               the               world.

This               is               where               positive               thinking               and               creative               visualization               does               indeed               help:               picturing               yourself               always               safe,               feelilng               confident.

When               and               if               a               tempest               brews,               your               instincts               will               guide               you               to               think               and               do               the               right               thing               at               the               right               time.
               4.

Enduring               Hurricane               Season:
               Take               all               weather               reports               seriously.

Unfolding               current               data               overrides               local               lore               and               attitude.
               Always               remember               that               even               if               you               are               detail-minded               enough               to               cover               every               angle               of               a               comprehensive               preparedness               plan,               storms               still               may               create               havoc.
               A               hurricane               destroyed               the               various               well-prepared               homes               of               my               mother,               two               brothers,               and               I               on               the               Gulf               Coast               of               Florida,               and               a               subsequent               one               ruined               my               sister's               home               on               the               East               Coast.

I               take               hurricane               season               very               seriously,               no               matter               where               I               reside               now               or               in               the               future.
               I               had               just               moved               to               Port               Charlotte,               between               Sarasota               and               Naples               on               the               West               coast.

My               relatives               were               already               residing               there               and               also               on               the               opposite,               Atlantic               Ocean               side               of               Florida.

I               had               been               assured               by               longtime               residents,               that               the               town               was               considered               a               virtual               paradise,               untouched               by               any               weather               disaster               in               over               40               years               or               more.

The               day               before               the               event,               the               normal               patterns               of               traffic               and               the               daily               routine               of               shopping,               beach-going,               supermarket               chatter,               seemed               basically               unchanged,               the               citizens               unfazed.
               In               hindsight,               one               sees               the               glaringly               false               level               of               security,               a               clinging               to               the               idea               that               if               something               hadn't               happened               in               a               while,               it               wouldn't               be               occurring               at               all.

An               unconscious               and               unsafe               presumption.
               August               13,               2004,               Friday               the               13th,               when               Hurricane               Charley               whirled               through               town,               will               forever               be               a               formidable               memory               for               me.

Port               Charlotte               and               its               equally               sleepy,               tiny               sister               village,               Punta               Gorda,               were               jolted               into               the               meteorological               record               books               as               the               bulls-eye               target               of               a               ruthless               roaring               monster-storm..

Charley               was               to               be               the               first               shocking               surprise               to               many.

In               the               extraordinary               year               2004               -               2005,               hurricane               after               hurricane               bombarded               Florida               and               the               subtropic               regions,               culminating               in               the               horrendous               devastation               per               New               Orleans.

A               few               storms               afterwards               in               other               parts               of               the               subtropics               continued               to               burst               forth               even               into               December,               when               supposedly               hurricane               season               wanes.
               (4)               Should               A               Hurricane               Bear               Down               Directly:
               If               authorities               conclude               your               area               is               safely               away               from               the               trajectory               of               the               storm,               gather               your               extended               family               in               one               house.

It               is               better               than               agreeing               to               meet               later               at               a               chosen               destination.

The               latter               abruptly               may               become               at               risk               depending               on               sudden               path               changes               of               the               hurricane.
               (4)               Evacuate               If               Told               To               Evacuate.
               No               ifs,               ands,               buts.

If               knowledgeable               authorities               assert               your               lives               are               in               danger,               heed               this               warning.

Do               you               really               want               to               stay               in               the               midst               of               a               fury?

To               end               up               seeing               and               feeling               the               vibrations               of               the               walls,               shaking               and               sliding,               swinging               in               and               out,               as               if               your               very               home               were               inhaling               and               exhaling               its               very               last               breaths?

To               court               injury,               or               worse?

"Never               again,"               is               the               belated               motto               of               many               who               chose               to               brave               the               torrential               chaos.
               A               hurricane               is               a               serial               killer.

It's               puzzling,               then,               why               violent               forces               of               nature               are               anointed               innocuous               names               such               as               Charley,               Hugo,               Bertha,               Katrina               and               the               like.

It               is               as               if               we               are               chatting               affectionately               about               a               goofy               roommate               who               happened               to               over-imbibe               and               smashed               the               furniture.

These               storms               are               NOT               our               "pals."
               If               I               could               do               so,               I'd               revise               the               system               so               that               the               naming               of               storms               would               match               appropriately               their               nature               and               outcomes.

Hurricane               Vicious;               Hurricane               All-Mighty               Destroyer,               Hurricane               Insanely               Random,               Hurricane               Attila               or               Jack               the               Ripper               or               other               famous               brutes               of               history               and/or               fable.

Perhaps               these               monikers               would               make               people               think               twice               about               defying               authorized               commands,               and               waiving               common               sense.

Perhaps               more               lives               could               be               saved.
               The               tragedy               of               Hurricane               Katrina               was               compounded               by               the               fact               that               many               people               who               did               have               common               sense,               who               did               want               to               flee,               had               no               means               of               doing               so.

While               assisting               in               whatever               way               we               can               to               help               heal               and               rebuild               the               town               of               those               courageous               souls,               let's               be               grateful               if               we               indeed               do               have               transportation               choices,               and               are               able               to               leave               when               necessary               --               and               we               should               do               so               without               equivocation               or               illogical               attachment               to               inert               things               left               behind.
               I               remember               a               few               days               after               Hurricane               Charley               had               dissipated,               my               mother               and               I               returned               and               were               observing               the               dark,               dented               mosaic               of               debris               that               was               once               her               home,               heirloom               piano,               furnishings,               her               grapefruit-               and               orange-tree               garden.

Noting               that               no               one               in               our               family               had               been               hurt,               although               our               homes               were               gone,               my               mother               reminded               me               that               for               us               the               hurricane               had               not               been               a               tragedy,               but               merely               "an               annoying               adventure."               Perfect               insight               and               a               balanced               perspective.
               Thus,               please               adhere               to               the               rule:               people               are               more               important               than               possessions.

Escape               when               warranted               without               looking               back               at               all.
               (5)               Have               Patience               In               The               Aftermath:
               At               a               shelter,               or               later,               when               usually               the               National               Guard               is               called               to               impose               curfews,               direct               traffic,               facilitate               water               and               food,               follow               whatever               dictums               the               local               experts               promulgate.
               After               an               astonishing               upheaval               such               as               a               hurricane,               the               spirit               of               camaraderie               radiates.

Strangers               become               immediate               friends;               there               is               hope,               comfort,               sharing,               compassion               among               hurricane               victims.

Look               to               serve               as               well               as               be               served.
               Somewhere               right               next               to               you               might               be               an               elderly               person               who               needs               a               reassuring               hug.

A               person               on               line               behind               you               in               the               hot               sun,               waiting               a               turn               to               receive               the               styrofoam               lunch               tray               from               the               Red               Cross,               may               welcome               the               extra               bottle               of               water               you               are               fortunate               to               be               carrying.

There               will               always               be               a               person               who               is               more               upset,               more               lost,               more               hungry,               more               crushed               in               spirit               than               you.

Do               what               you               can.
               If               needed,               avail               yourself               of               counseling               offered               by               nonprofit               agencies               to               help               survivors               cope               with               post-traumatic               stress               syndrome.

Give               yourself               time               to               grieve               losses.

You'll               probably               never               take               life               for               granted               again.

Some               weeks               after               Hurricane               Charley,               I               was               fortunate               enough               to               re-locate               to               the               quaint               historic               town               of               Venice,               home               of               quiet               lanes               winding               towards               magnificent               beaches.

How               normal               it               was,               to               push               my               grocery               cart               from               aisle               to               aisle               at               the               local               Kash               'n               Karry,               wondering               what               to               make               for               dinner.

Normalcy               is               beautiful.
               In               summary,               I               truly               hope               that               this               season               will               be               benign.

Yet               what               relief               you               will               have,               in               knowing               you               have               taken               apt               steps               to               meet               with               confidence               whatever               the               near               future               holds.
