Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 03-06-2021
WGM Betül Cemre Yildiz (TUR)
TheJamesMadison should be along later with the movie thread. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.
Beginner Problem - White To Play (21) Goal: White can force mate in 3 moves
Hint: Resist the temptation to take the rook

Intermediate Problem - Black To Play (1322) Goal: Black can force mate in 5 moves
Hint: Crack open the h-file

Advanced Problem - White To Play (1282) This is a forced mate in 2. But what makes it difficult is that the decision tree is quite wide, so there will be many short, stubby little branches. I found 8. See if you can find them all, or maybe I missed one, or counted some duplicates.

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.

She sashays down the aisle and makes this sassy thumb downs gesture and turns and sashays back up the aisle.

I don't mind a tiny tat on an ankle. It's when women, and men too, ink up their arms and legs, and more, that it's horrible. No matter how good-looking the woman is to me, tatted-up arms make her look dirty. And not in the "Wow" way, but more like "Take a bath, honey."

I agree that, whatever it is, on top of the pink chiffon looks foreign to the rest of the dress. I usually love old Dior dresses, but those inflatable-looking things, spangly attired or not, at the waist are ugly.

They do not belong on young ladies. Makes them look cheap. So do nose rings and lip rings etc.
As for soldiers, airmen and guardians, each to his own.

Dressing Melania: Alice Roi Talks About Designing to Suit the First Lady's Classic Style.
On the red coatdress Trump wore on Air Force One to Mar-a-lago in March 2017:
Melania suggested a red coat with red gloves and red belt. The red we picked had a geranium feel to it; a very fresh and feminine red. The leather we picked for the gloves and belt was very interesting: Although it complemented the color of the coat, it was a very different red. It almost had a [pink tinge] to it. It truly brought the coat to a different place, a more interesting red that wasn't so harsh, but rather more elegant and dynamic.
The coat had many different iterations. Big pockets, notch collars, and at one point it looked like a proper hunting coat. But in the end, Melania wanted it simpler and simpler. And she was absolutely right.
Mrs. Trump paired her red coat dress with matching gloves and her staple pair of Gucci sunglasses and nude Jimmy Choo high heels.

Arizona State Dean: Grading Writing Based On Quality Is 'Racist,' Promotes 'White Language Supremacy'
In a book titled "Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom," professor Asao Inoue encourages teachers to ditch grading for a "labor-based" grading system wherein students earn grades based on their effort. The quality of a student's writing would not help or hinder their course grade.
. . . .
Near the beginning of the document, the author admits that the theory of "labor-based" grading is rooted in critical race theory. Critical race theory is the idea that America is rooted in racism as are the systems of modern American society.

"Melania does favor a 1950s silhouette, in which the waist is emphasized. It is not my usual go-to silhouette, but she nails it. It never looks literal or dated or forced. Rather, it looks like a refreshing, modern take on femininity and elegance."

The thing that stands out to me these days is at one point a tat was to show your individuality. Today, maybe a certain tatoo can do that, but not just having one in general. I guess what i am saying is getting a tatoo in general, seems more like an act of conformity, than and act of individualism.

Yes, Lee Meriwether was Miss America 1955. My father thought she was the stuff back in the day, relatives used to delight in telling.
One of my uncles, his brother-in-law, used to run a furniture store. They would have Miss America go out on this rubber-chicken tour all over the country, and that year that tour landing her at some promotion they were doing at my uncle's furniture store. It was done by some national brand that he carried in the store.
Anyway, my father got to meet her and shake her hands with her. They said he was acting like some giddy schoolboy. He denies it all to this day.

She was a better actress than she is often given credit for. I caught her on a Barnaby Jones rerun last year in which her character operates mostly alone, and her range of emotional reaction was startlingly good. Amazing how many Miss Americas (Lee, Mary Ann Mobley, et al.) went on to become actresses with steady careers.

i had one good investment idea but still I am not sure of the legalities. But the idea was to buy the "forever" stamps from the US postal service. You can go back decades and they were never a bad buy. The price only goes up. I assume they are legal to sell, I can't think of any good reason why they can't be.

Yes, Betty on Barnaby Jones was her most well-know role. MeTV is running Barnaby Jones (a Quinn Martin production, and the Quinn-Martinest one of them all) late night now.
She played in lot of other stuff before then, including that Irwin Allen sci-fi show The Time Tunnel, which MeTV also runs on Saturday nights.
She also appeared in several Mission Impossible episodes during that period after Barbara Bain left.
Anyway, if you watch MeTV a lot, you'll see Lee Meriwether all over the place.

This lady breeds to have a dog to show, maybe a litter a year, sometimes two years. The doggos all greeted me with tails wagging like.metronomes. They were happy and loved.

With my neighbor's help, we replaced my water heater here, two evenings ago. 12 y/o unit, 30 gal. electric. All 33 houses in this neighborhood have attic-installed heaters. None of them froze, but the City restored water pressure at about 50% more than before the freeze. And the age-weakened tank sprang a slow, but rapidly worsening leak. The new one fit through the attic stairs scuttle with 1/2" to spare on the sides. I'm now going to have to drop the stairs so I can winch up a deep freezer into the attic. (the attic IS HVAC cooled). Only available footage for it, and it's INSANE to keep a freezer running in a 120 degree garage in the summer.

Here's where the Fed finds itself (and this because of the same "experts" and smartest people in the room who don't have a clue what they're doing). They've printed a pile of money to "save the system". Starting in 2008. They were trying to slowly, slowly unwind all that, and then the 'Rona hit and they had to "save everything" again, keeping it going with all the shutdowns and making sure the federal govt had all that Rona money to spend.
They printed about $3.5T since March 2020. You may think that's a joke, but that's what they did.

When inflation starts taking off, the Fed is supposed to start "tightening", pulling money out of the system. This cases interest rates to rise. Remember those ridiculous interest rates in the late 70s? That was Paul Volcker stopping rampant inflation. Which he did.
But the problem now is 20% interest rates would absolutely destroy the federal govt, which is just $27T in debt total.
The moves necessary to stop inflation with all the piles of money they printed would destabilize the system. It would be SMOD to the banking system. You don't just pull a few trillion out at once.
If they did that, the resulting implosion would destroy them as well.

And this is one of the reasons the Bush bailout infuriated me. I knew a crash was inevitable, and also knew the bailout was kicking the can down the road, rather than taking our medicine, now. I also realized the kicking the can down the road made it likely the coming crash was going to be far worse than if they'd have let it happen back when.

I was working for a European bank then. I told the bankers that the American solution was simple-repatriation of the cash held overseas by US companies through tax holidays and mild coercion. No need for a US Government bailout or "stimulus".
They said, well, that would work for the US, but banks around the world would be illiquid and essentially broke.

Probably not. There is a tremendous amount of bad debt in the Chinese financial system. Nobody knows how much, but according to best guesses (mine) until recently the Chinese holdings of US Treasuries closely mirrored probable level of Chinese bad debt.
As the old saying goes, if you owe the bank $1000, it's your problem; if you owe the bank a million, it's the bank's problem.
China is effectively America's bank.

There are advantages to quail.
Posted by: Miklos has been looking into this at March 06, 2021 07:10 PM (QzkSJ)
do it like a good steak. Season it well, imo, the place many go wrong is by under seasoning. Then cook them on high heat with a bit of oil, even rub the oil in. But the key is to sear them and not overcook them. Tuna should be served rare or medium rare to me. There is no good reason not to unless you flat out don't like it that way. If that is the case, throw them into a hot oven for a couple of minutes after the searing.

Icelandic wool (Lett Lopi, if you needta google) is made up of both undercoat and guard hairs. Usually, guard hairs on an animal are harsh and poky. So its not for anything other than an exterior garment. Irish wool is more what we're used to, but still pretty rustic. I have a sweater I knit from plain undyed irish that I bought at Vibes and Scribes in Cork City. No cables though. Also i bought some Blackwater Abbey wool and it REALLY smells sheepy. Like, I'm worried about attracting border collies. Favorite wool though, hand down, is Shetland.

My house was built with spray foam insulation, walls, roof and sub-floor. After Hurricane Ike, we lost the subfloor foam insulation when the subfloor was removed and replaced. Subfloor now has conventional fiberglass batts. The attic has foam sprayed, not at the joist level above the ceiling, but directly to the underside of the roof decking itself. Though there is not an HVAC vent into the attic, the attic does exist within the HVAC envelope of the house, in total. Summertime, we'll have a 75 degree living room, and the attic might be 85 degrees or so. This past freeze, the attic remained 1.5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, which fell to 40 degrees, when it was 19 degrees, outside. I didn't care for the roof-deck sprayed foam when we bought the place, but 12 years later, well.. it just works.

Sear the tuna in a hot skillet using sesame oil. You can season the tuna with whatever you want, but pepper, garlic and soy/teriyaki work best. Ginger too.
Do not over cook. If you "think" it's raw, it's not. Pretend it's steak. It sort of cooks like it, but much faster.

Don't get me wrong, I love Prime and quite often it goes on a quick sale. But who knows about the aging or origen. It is not a bad product, but I doubt it like the prime you get at a fancy steak house. The aging alone is a big part of the deal.

Currently on the hunt for acreage outside of ERCOT which leaves mostly far eastern and northeastern Texas (panhandle way too miserable).
Only way I would be in central Texas is if I had an aircraft nearby. (Cessna Skyhawk or Skylane would be adequate)
One major take-away from the freeze: FERC and the Fe'ral Government were perfectly willing to let billions of dollars in damage and millions of lives be sacrificed in the name of mother Gaia and Green.
I'm also 100% certain that politicians won't improve the situation, rather are all in on doubling down on unreliable energy especially with tens of thousands moving into ERCOT over the next year.
Need to find a better grid operator and a place where I can run diesel / propane for extended time in view of the anticipated and regular rolling black-outs.

But what about The Sneetches?
In light of this new information, you may wonder about Dr. Seuss books featuring non-human characters. At Teaching Tolerance, we've even featured anti-racst activities built around the Dr. Seuss book The Sneetches. But when we re-evaluated, we found that the story is actually not as "anti-racis" as we once thought. And it has some pretty intricate layers you and your students might consider, too.
The solution to the story's conflict is that the Plain-Belly Sneetches and Star-Bellied Sneetches simply get confused as to who is oppressed. As a result, they accept one another. This message of "acceptance" does not acknowledge structural power imbalances. It doesn't address the idea that historical narratives impact present-day power structures. And instead of encouraging young readers to recognize and take action against injustice, the story promotes a race-neutral approach.

My guess is that this is temporary and wise people will stock up before the rest of the nation starts opening up from the political shut-down.
Pretty sure that most prime steak houses have been running no where near regular capacity and thus its easier for restaurant suppliers like Sams, Sysco, Ben E Keith and White Swan to vend prime.

not a bad point there. This has been going on long before Covid but I do see what you are saying. i am not saying grocery store prime is not prime. But I have read that there are different levels and also different breeds. Some cattle that would never have been sold for steaks before, are today, at least that is what I have read.

The 10 Year Breakeven inflation rate spiked to 2.24% since The Fraud election. It was at about 0.5 before that. Bet on inflation rising. Nobody knows how much. But don't worry, The Fed has it under control. :-/
Inflation will be a drag on the economy, as will be increased regulation, an already rising CPI and skyrocketing energy prices. On top of that Democrats profligate piling on of debt may become a bigger problem as rates rise. A stimulus may forestall some of the worse effects, but how long depends on whether sectors of our economy fully recover- and when. We see some sectors picking up but the long term outlook is mixed. Democrats policies are not business friendly. Taxes, and assault on energy and superfluous regulations will all become factors.
