| Aug-13-07 | | Ragh: LOL, that happens. The list is so big that it requires a search engine, like google, built on top of it to find names in it. :) |

| Aug-13-07 | | Dr. Siggy: <jessicafischerqueen>: <Ed Trice: The French considered anyone with a Law Degree to be a Doctor, whether they had a PhD or not.> I see what you mean... As far as I know, no, they didn't - and they still don't. In France, as in Portugal, a citizen with a simple Law Degree is just a "Dr." (as I am); a "Doctor" is a citizen who has defended with success a doctoral thesis (as I shall be one of these days - God willing!). It goes as far as this: if a "Dr." presents himself in public as a "Doctor", he commits a crime. Clear enough?... |

Tripping to Korea. How exciting! In the gaming world, Korea is noted for producing the best go players over the past 20 years or so. The go version of Judit Polgar lives there, too. Anyways, have a great trip. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <Tim> I'm very excited. But i don't want to learn <go>!! I want to play <classical chess>. I'm bringing my small wooden board with me.
There must be at least ONE person who plays chess there. |
|
| Aug-14-07 | | JoeWms: Set up your little wooden board in a school cafeteria or the hotel lobby and play over one of your own games or a Xerox of an oldie like the Morphy Opera game. The kibitzers will come. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <Joe>.
I'm going to get a head start even. The flight is 11 hours over the <Pacific> and I can't sleep on planes so I'm going to put my board on the little fold down table thingy and go through some games from my <Tal Life and Games Book> and maybe <Nakamura> or <Korchnoi> will have the seat next to me. KK that's a run on sentence. I just woke up.
heh. <xerox>. |

<The flight is 11 hours over the <Pacific>> That IS a lot of water when you picture that... I predict a fascinating trip! In many ways! PERISCOPE DOWN!! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Heh HI <NIELS>!!
It's one in the morning here.
I'll be hitting the highway soon. I'm going in about 7 hours early, I'll be first in line at the Consulate. I don't want to screw this up.
I just quadruple checked to see if I have all my documents in my Briefcase again. I'm even washing for this trip!!
Heh. I"m going to stay awake on the drive by chain-drinking <McDonalds's fake Ice cReam Chokkit Milkshakes>. I think they are actually made of <petroleum>, but Dam they taste good. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Me and <Fatso> just took a spin around the parking lot here. <Dumbo> is horning in on the action now also. They're on to me!! |
|
| Aug-14-07 | | achieve: <I just quadruple checked to see if I have all my documents in my Briefcase again.> An admission: I have no "ticks" or any kind or superstitions.. but recently I have developed the "tick" to tap my right pocket 3-5 times to check for my keys, even if I know I just dropped them in... Weird... What will happen to your cats? (Wait.. you still at your MOm's?) |
|
Aug-14-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Yes they are my Mom's cats.
I frequently check my pocket for wallet and keys also, as I wear Jeans most of the time. However, I'll be wearing a skirt and toting an IMPORTANT BRIEFCASE on this trip. I just loaded my good clothes in the car.
I will change clothes inside the GIANT PARKING GARAGE where I'll have to park in town. There is a Garbage Strike downtown and it's supposed to be 30 degrees centigrade tomorrow. That's why right after I apply for my VISA I'll be heading STRAIGHT FOR THE BEACH. I packed my Shades, baseball cap and Sunblock and LARGE beach towel. I also had 300 cups of coffee already.
Oh I packed GRANOLA BARS for the trip and I have a cell phone and my <Auto Club Card> "just in case." I'm so excited!! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: I don't know what will happen for sure but after some years in Asia I want to go teach in Europe after that. I want to TRAVEL AND TEACH MY WAY ACROSS THE WORLD.
No graduate school for me!!
Not for a long time anyhoo.
I may go for a <Phd in "caring"> at some point though. Or perhaps in "haranguing." <DomDaniel> has a <Phd> in "haranguing," for example. |
|
| Aug-14-07 | | achieve: Things ARE exciting so you should be excited and while reading it all even I am getting excited! You seem to have planned it all very well! Headed for a lake beach or are you near an ocean shore? (I am so bad at Geography) Sounds like good things are coming your way. Teaching is probably the finest job there is in many ways, is my opinion.. |
|
| Aug-14-07 | | achieve: My guess is you probably are going to the <Gulf of Georgia>? (I couldn't help myself and googled)
I'mm off now to tune a piano. I hope all will work out just fine today and don't forget to sleep every now and again! (Wilson has some good proverbs on that) |

| Aug-14-07 | | achieve: The "job" of being a teacher -- "Why Teach?"
(two excerpts and the link - then I'm off! ;-)
<Every successful teacher develops a teaching style. This teaching style is your shorthand way of communicating with your students, ensuring that there is consistency in instruction and creating a safe, predictable environment suitable for children and young people. Teachers who don't establish a clear teaching style tend to have short careers because if each day is completely different, the job becomes overwhelming and issues of classroom discipline and safety begin to overshadow issues of teaching and learning. Teachers are like gardeners who plant seeds in fertile earth.
The great thing about teaching styles is there is no best way. <<<<You have to find your own style because ultimately, who you are is a cognitive and emotional link to the hearts and minds of your students.>>>>> and...
< It is something of a cliché to say now that teachers touch the future. But like most clichés, this one has more than a grain of truth. Teachers weave the fabric of society; they take the threads of individuals and tie them together so that the fabric is broad, colorful and enduring. <Without teachers, the fabric of society would unravel almost instantly, leaving us in a state of confusion and fragmentation.> So why teach? We teach because we must and we teach because we are the weavers of society.> Copied from here -- http://www.teachingk-8.com/archives... |

| Aug-14-07 | | Dr.Lecter: <jess> Tomorrow, 8/15, is a national holiday at Korea. It's like the independence day. Just so you know. Oh, and the day before the Korean Independence day, you have to eat a chicken or a dog. |

 | | keypusher: <For example, reporting in a post that you <just emailed Bobby Fischer and he told you the bowling average he got in Iceland in 1972>. LOL! Good grief you really must think we are morons. <Fischer Beats Spassky!
To me, the 1972 Championship seemed more like a poker game than a chess match. Fischer was off to a very bad start. He considered the country of Iceland to be an unsatisfactory venue, as it had no bowling alleys> . http://www.bobby-fischer.net/bobby_...
So you tell me how <Bobby> got a bowling average in a country without bowling alleys.> Thanks for your nice post on my page. Fischer bowled at the U.S. base at Keflavik, now closed. The wikipedia article even mentions the bowling alley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_... My grandfather spent a lot of time on Iceland during World War II and had a framed certificate listing himself as a member of the F.B.I.--"Forgotten Bast*rds of Iceland." |

I see you shut down your forum.
PLEASE FEEL SUPERWELCOME TO SET UP SHOP HERE AT MY HOUSE. Any time you like, as often as you'd like.

As in, if anyone bugs you, I will type "cut that out or <some guys are coming over>". Jess |
