| Apr-25-12 | | hms123: <pgp> If it's any consolation, my publisher (formerly Harper and Row, now Pearson, I think) has owed me $17.50 for about 10 years. Every year, I get a statement saying that my unpaid royalties are $17.50, but that they don't write checks for under $25.00. I am pretty sure it would have been cheaper for them to have written the check 10 years ago than to keep sending me the statements. Do you think that interest accumulates on their debt to me? Hah! Not a chance. |

| Apr-27-12 | | Thanh Phan: Serious About a New Language? Begin With Lesson 1
The courses are from Living Language http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/livi... and Rocket Languages http://www.rocketlanguages.com/ , and if you’re serious about bilingualism they are absolutely worth considering. Of the two, Living Language (free on Apple and Android) offers a more consistently good experience and the more generous trial terms. The French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese and Japanese apps include 11 introductory lessons, Rocket Languages is a similar Web-based service, and it has no dedicated app, but if you log on from a mobile device the experience is nearly identical to an app. Rocket Languages also offers instruction in Korean, Arabic, Hindi and American Sign Language.

<hms123> Couldn't you sue the publisher in Very Small Claims court? Now there's a good idea. But after I took off my usual 40% contingency fee for representing myself, there wouldn't be enough left to buy the <Last of the Matted Elk Summer Wine>. |

| May-02-12 | | Albertan: Chess Leader Visits Syria Under Cloud of Ambiguity
By ANDREW E. KRAMER
Published: May 2, 2012
MOSCOW —" The president of the World Chess Federation, an eccentric Russian millionaire who last year tried to negotiate a settlement in Libya’s civil war, has again shown up for talks with a faltering dictator." "Though he holds no formal diplomatic position with the Russian government, his repeated visits to Arab countries in turmoil have reinforced the impression that he is serving as an informal envoy, using the chess organization’s business as a fittingly Russian ruse." Source:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/w... What does everybody who reads this think of this development on the part of Kirsian? "Officially, as was the case in Libya, the visit’s purpose was to further chess as a sport. The two men negotiated an agreement between the World Chess Federation and the Syrian government to teach chess as a subject in elementary schools and agreed to organize amateur chess matches at a Russian cultural center in the capital, according to the chess federation’s Web site. Mr. Ilyumzhinov has remarked in the past that he judges leaders above all else on their attitudes toward chess." |

| May-03-12 | | Albertan: A.What do you think of this development in the World of Chess? "How to dress for chess"
"The European Chess Union has adopted new, and very specific, dress-code rules, says The Boston Globe. “Some rules cut down on female sex appeal: no short skirts, and no shirts unbuttoned past the second button. But, according to [union secretary-general Sava] Stoisavljevic, ‘In fact these rules will be more useful during men events. In general, women take care about their looks and what they wear. There is not a lot of trouble with women …’ The rules aren’t that stringent: Players can wear sunglasses at the board, for example. But hats are prohibited, except for religious reasons … as are all forms of ‘beach wear.’" source:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life... B. 9 Queens Seek to Shed Chess's "Nerdy" :
"9 Queens, a nonprofit organization that uses chess as an educational tool, will celebrate its 5th anniversary on Saturday, May 5 by hosting the 5th annual Chess Fest." To read the entire article click on the following link: http://www.azpm.org/arts-and-life/s... |

| May-03-12 | | Albertan: Finally, an article has been written and posted about the upcoming Anand-Gelfand World Chess Championship match. The article is entitled, :Viswanathan Anand must not take Gelfand lightly: Ganguly" and can be read by clicking on the following link: http://sports.ndtv.com/othersports/... What do all of you think of the match, who do you think is going to win? I have a bet with the Edmonton Chess Club President and I am picking Gelfand to win. |

| May-03-12 | | waustad: In terms of the dresscode, I thought that it was amusing that the person who was the interviewer when these first came out at the European Women's Championship was the photogenic photographer Anastazia Karlovich Here is the article: http://eiwcc2012.tsf.org.tr/compone... |

Bubbling is the filtering of search results based on your search history. Different virtual private networks, or V.P.N., such as those offered by WiTopia, PrivateVPN and StrongVPN. there is Tor https://www.torproject.org/index.html , a free service with 36 million users that was originally developed to conceal military communications. Tor encrypts your data stream and bounces it through a series of proxy servers so no single entity knows the source of the data or whence it came. The only drawback is that with all that bouncing around, it is very S-L-O-W.

| May-05-12 | | Thanh Phan: Emergency Patches Pushed for Flash, PHP http://www.pcworld.com/article/2550... Adobe pushed an emergency patch Friday for its Flash Player to fix a flaw that's being actively exploited to attack computers running Windows. Adobe recommends that Windows, Macintosh and Linux users of Flash Player 11.2.202.233 or earlier, upgrade to the latest version of the program immediately. The same should be done by users of Android 4.x using Flash Player 11.1.115.7 and Android 2.x and 3.x using version 11.1.111.8 of the software. If you're not sure what version of Flash Player you're running, Adobe has a website http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo... that will automatically give you that information when you visit it. |

I see you're away for a while. I'm not sure whether you intend to cover Leinier Dominguez-Perez in your video series, but you may be interested in taking a squiz anyway. |
