Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum    WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

Regards, JFQ Oct-26-07    WannaBe: Time for another <WannaBe>'s book review, today, we are doing "Passion and Principle" by Sally Denton. http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Princ... The book tells the story of John and Jessie (Benton) Fremont, he the son of a dubious and unclear (family) background, she a daughter of the powerful senator, and the darling of the nation's Capital. (Yes, even the president proposed to her...) John Fremont, frontiersmen and explorer, made numerous trips west, to map, chart and discover new plants/animals along with routes for the western expansion of the U.S. territories. Along-side John, were his faithful friend Kit Carson (the state capital of Navada is named after him, Carson City) and during one expedition, they were almost froze/starved to death. (And of course, Fremont California is named after John & Jessie. In Long Beach, where I live, there is a Fremont Ave, and a Fremont Elementary School.) The story encompasses some of the most difficult time in U.S. history, the war with Mexico, California gaining independence, and later its admission into the Union. (John Fremont would become one of the state's first senator) The story also includes the period of the U.S. Civil War, and Reconstruction of the South. This is the fourth book by Sally that I have read, and it's a great, great read, again, her research shows through, with details that's just amazing. Highly recommend read for anyone with a historical fascination of that period, and the start of California (and its gold rush) and the turbulent time of U.S. in the 1800s. Next book review will be "Troublesome Young Men" http://www.amazon.com/Troublesome-Y... so far, the book is just marvelous!! Oct-26-07    JoeWms: Please kill my Oct 25 post about Santa Ana. <Santa> does not harmonize well with my description. Zap it. Thanks. Oct-26-07    WannaBe: <JoeWms> I don't usually delete posts (I like to keep evidences!) but for you, no problemo. =) Oct-26-07    JoeWms: On the Timmerman page, the <Current Position> diagram is just an outlined square without the 64 delineated squares. It's been like that forever. The chess pieces know where to stand, though. (I use an external board to follow the game.) What did I do to deserve this? Thanks for your consideration, buddy. Oct-26-07    WannaBe: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2007102... I always thought Potter played Seeker, not a left-winger. Oct-27-07    WannaBe: O, beautiful day, we have USC @ Oregon, (Go Duckies!) and UCLA @ Washington State (Go Bruins!) and then followed by Breeders' Cup (Go Lawyer Ron), and World Series (Go Snow!). Plus I just won a rook in a game on GameKnot. What else can one ask for? =) Oct-27-07    DrDum: Re: book review. Does it also mention that he was the first Republican nominee for President? Oct-27-07    WannaBe: That other school lost to Oregon U. and what a dumb last second timeout... What is that time out suppose to do/prove?? Dumb, dumb, dumb...

My system at work got corrupted (my fault, I won't go into details, but .dll file(s) was the problem), so I had to re-install XP Pro... Then I lost all my files! (good thing my e-mail was on IMAP, so the e-mail server had a backup...) Synchronizing my e-mail account right now. And getting all the windows updates/patches is taking forever... Grrrrrrr!
