Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 05-23-2020
GM Antoaneta Stefanova (BUL)
We will have a fishing thread later. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.

Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:
The new blog is ***finally*** up and running and today I have been posting all of my historical posts from 2016 onwards. It will take a few days for everything to be up to date. It's funny to see how my writing has evolved since my first years at university, and nice to see 1/2 pic.twitter.com/GtRxZsAs9A

Hope to see you all next week! ___________ Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and paste it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.

For the White House’s Governors Ball, Melania Trump chose a formfitting, sequined black lace gown in a nod to Dolce & Gabbana as they debuted their Fall/Winter 2018 Collection during Milan Fashion Week.
Dolce & Gabbana has held a monopoly on sexy, black lace dresses which carry all the luxury of Italian fashion and maximalism that the brand has become renowned for.
Her gown featured a fit and flare silhouette, black lace down her arms, and a neckline that took the shape of the lace. Never one to be a wall-flower, Mrs. Trump sparkled, literally, as sequins scattered down her gown hit the lights of the State Dining Room.

Recognise the dress? That’s because Kate first wore it during a visit to Malaysia in 2012 (shown below). The couple visited the country during the Royal Tour of East Asia and the Pacific.
The ‘re-wear’ was intentional, at the request of BAFTA who issued guests with a ‘sustainable fashion guide’ before the ceremony.
Kate carried a coordinating gold glitter clutch bag to the awards ceremony. It looks like it’s the Marano clutch by Anya Hindmarch.
The glittering box clutch features gold-tone hardware, creme suede lining and a push-lock closure on the top. The bag originally retailed for £350 ($595) at Net-A-Porter where it is now sold out. You can find the piece in ‘Anthracite’ at The Outnet for £192 ($275).
Kate’s new necklace and earrings are from the Van Cleef and Arpels ‘Magic Alhambra Collection‘. They feature the company’s signature Alhambra motif in mother of pearl attached to yellow gold chains. The earrings retail for £5,400 ($6,200) while the necklace costs £7,850 ($8,950).

Well, I've got a working eee-lectric fence around the garden, now. Just tested it (last night, no go -- turns out I forget to a battery in the tester, but don't tell anybody about that), and I've got 9kV+ all around the perimeter.
The stupid meter is so sensitive, it will respond to the electric field around the fence via pure capacitance. It's designed to get a reading and lock, and when it does that, it will lock low (600Vish) -- so one has to touch the probe to the fence wire and push the ground probe in at the same time, quickly, to get and accurate reading.
Now, that means it's energized to decent voltage. Don't know how much current it will flow. I'm trying to convince Miley to touch it and tell me if it hurts, and if so, how bad, but she won't bite.
So, I'll have to do a more standard test (basically, the point here is to determine how good the grounding electrode(s) are. If it won't flow enough current, I'll have to drive another ground rod, and that ain't exactly fun.
I've driven a many a ground rod, 8' all the way, but that was before arthritis and age.

Keep the loathsome deer out. They come in and destroy a garden, now, the population around here is so great now. They'll eat just about anything. A garden is like a gourmet buffet to deer, they can't resist it.
Barring putting up a 10' high minimum chain link fence, an electric fence is about the only way to keep them out. Shock them, scare the shit out of 'em, and they get negatively conditioned.
Of course, persistent ones can learn to jump it. The negative conditioning from getting shocked is to scare them away so they don't attempt it.

People on average were slimmer, and wanted to be. Gas for most of that decade was about .55/gallon. A fifth of Scotch could be had for $6.00. (I didn't say it was *great* Scotch.) Music was fine stuff. House prices (I've heard) and apartment rentals were within reach of an average salary. And you could get fired and find a new job within a few days; none of these endless layers of HR drones and approvals that takes you three weeks to start working.
On the other hand, a LOT of guys' clothing was garbage: lapels wider than the freeway and ties to match, polyester everything, clunky shoes.

Main interesting thing: USA from MO Jensen, who reviewed Flynn case for Barr, now possibly reviewing misconduct by Mueller operation. Possibly.
The twin scandals of the SCO's creation, and then its conduct, might never be examined (Congress doesn't care). The 2nd scandal *might* be, if the conduct was egregious enough that Barr figures it should be included in his clean-up mission.

A little cuter than that, but you're right.
I remember when Carol was a regular comedienne on The Garry Moore Show. Some doofus apparently wrote in to the show, saying Carol was not attractive at all and didn't belong on TV. Garry brought the letter out on air, read excerpts from it, and proceeded to defend Carol and to say she was one of the loveliest women he'd ever worked with in the entertainment business -- followed by audience applause. A class act.

The first time I ever saw what later would be called a "leisure suit" was on singer Lou Rawls, and the jacket was a short bomber-jacket length -- sort of like what James West always wore. (It was a country show, maybe Jimmy Dean's.) That looked good. The baggy double-knit stuff was horrible and I'm proud to say I never owned or wore one.

That is weird, given the description of the situation we got the other day was that the appeals court specifically wanted his explanation (caveat about written by clerks or whatever) rather than someone else's take on his explanation.

The D.C Circuit is slapping Sullivan down pretty good. They *ordered* him to 'splain himself, and within 10 days (which is well before his own crazy orders from amicae and all that are due, which means they may be planning to shut this crap down before any of it can get started).
They took the most severe action against Sullivan they could. They will grant mandamus (Latin: "We command, bitchez") agin' him.
I assume Sullivan is allowed to hire a lawyer to represent him, but the Court ordered him to respond.

After destroying an indestructible sledge hammer driving one ground rod, an electrician with the local util showed me the easy way. It was their job to place the ground rod at the stanchion.
Told me to get a glass of water. Proceeded to gently work that sucker up and down, every now and again pouring water on the rod.
Took him about 10 minutes.

This one wasn't too bad, just work for me. The only time in the past I ever had too much trouble was when I hit hard rock. We ended up cutting it off, and driving a second one 10' away. It hit rock as well, and we cut it off.
The NEC rules about driven ground rods specify that the resistance to ground of the rod must be less than 25 ohms. If it's higher, you're supposed to drive another one.
Nothing about keep driving 'em until you reach less than 25 Ohms, just drive a second one.
The trouble with that is measuring the resistance to ground of a ground rod is not an easy thing to do, and the equipment to do it right is quite expensive.

Back when I working with the electrician, we had a sledge hammer with a hollow metal handle, which would act as a nice pile driver for ground rods. When swinging a sledge, the rod tends to oscillate until it gets deep enough. The hollow hand thing would damp that right out.
This one went fairly easy. Halfway with a short sledge, and then rest of the way with the big boy.

That was discussed here yesterday a bit. Ordinarily the Appeals Court would either invite the Judge to respond, but not require it, or they would allow him to appoint an Amicus to write his brief. But as you point out, they ordered him to respond personally.
Of course I still expect Andrew Weissman to ghost write his response.

Posted by: Tom Servo at May 23, 2020 06:27 PM (V2Yro)
If the D.C Circuit follows it's own precedent (and that of other courts, including the Supreme Court just recently), it will grand mandamus (We command) and order Sullivan to dismiss the case. It may even remove him, too.
Mandamus is one of the extraordinary writs, rarely used. In this context, is is a higher court flat out ordering a lower to do something (or not do something). It is used on when the lower court is running amok.
The controlling case is Fokker, and the D.C Circuit granted mandamus (on the govt's request) against a district judge who was refusing to dismiss a case, just like Sullivan. So he's ignoring that direct precedent, and is going even further.
In Fokker, they "invited" the judge to respond and appointed an amicus themselves to argue on behalf of the judge.
The Appeals court here is getting as mad as they can be at Sullivan within the bounds of judicial decorum.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at May 23, 2020 06:27 PM (f1Vqw)
This is pretty uncharted territory but from what I gather from some of the legal eagles following this, Sullivan hiring a lawyer to respond to the 3 judge panel when they told him to respond personally is pretty odd.
And why would he need a lawyer anyway?

Next door, Sweden's crude death rate this flu season, which overlaps with C-19, is the 2nd lowest in 5 years.
Boris continues to flail and bumble in the UK, but oddly enough since the British political system isn't nearly entirely dead at the national level, as in the US, there actually may be some examination and accountability for the idiotic modeling coming out of Imperial College.
If I had the $ I'd issue an open challenge to anyone to find a case where the cases and deaths didn't start to decline *before* "mitigation" measures were adopted, or where the curve of both does not follow, exactly, the classic epidemic curve (asymmetric bell curve with long right shoulder). (narrator: nobody could ever claim the $ because there is no example of either)
Putting those two factoids together yields a pretty central observation, one apparently beyond the intellect or integrity of American officials and "experts" at all levels, including the top one.

On another subject, if your Verizon Fios backup battery does the beeping thing (which you mentioned the other day, I think on an ONT), unplug the cord from the outlet, disconnect the battery, let it sit by itself for about a minute, and put it all back together. That'll keep you for another 6 weeks to 2 months. It ain't dead, just cranky.

If I thought we could trust the IRS, I'd propose a Constitutional amendment that ANYONE on any taxpayer payroll has to publish their tax returns as a condition of continued employment!

Just today I saw this tweet from Adam Housely (reporter formerly of Fox):
"Before I left Fox, I was told the agencies...depending on which one...'have someone at every major news outlet.' Either on payroll by choice, or not. Makes sense whether you agree or not. It wasn't a surprise to me, but a surprise that someone admitted it to me."

I think you grossly overestimate the intellect of our enemies. I think he thought he was going to get away with it, and now he's scrambling like a rat in a trap. And he's too stupid and arrogant to realize when he's beaten.
Just like Mueller and Weissmann were too stupid and arrogant to realize when they were beaten.

I just read that the attorney Sullivan hired to defend him before the
Appellates, Beth Wilkinson, has some conservative bona fides. Among
other things, she helped Kavanaugh defend himself.
Something really weird is going on.

To be a debbie downer - every single on has gotten away with "it". Getting fired is something that happens when you don't show up for work. Conspiring to subject the Constitution while on your government job should is orders of magnitude beyond 'not showing up' ... more like burning down the business that hired you - after chaining doors closed with everyone inside.

It never occurred to me how much like an Italian-produced Western the movie Lone Wolf McQuade is. Instead of guns and horses, the movie has karate chops and cars.

It was diesel powered; as the piston hit bottom the fuel would be injected, the ignition would drive the tool into the ground and throw the piston up the sleeve. It would then fall and repeat the cycle.
That's best I can explain it. Very simple, very affective, not emissions friendly.
