Digital-First Comic INFINITE CRISIS to Debut on May 19
Comic and gamer fans mark your calendars for May 19 when the highly anticipated INFINITE CRISIS digital-first comic book will launch. Based on the upcoming game by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Turbine, INFINITE CRISIS has a stellar creative team lined up. The comic series is written by Dan Abnett (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) and illustrated by the likes of Carl Potts, Trevor Scott, Larry Stroman, Szymon Kudranski and Tom Raney, among others. Covers are illustrated by the talented Gene Ha and Issue #1 will include a Harley Quinn variant cover by Terry and Rachel Dodson.
The INFINITE CRISIS digital-first comic takes place before the start of the video game and brings together unique versions of DC Universe heroes from across the diversified expanse of the Multiverse to try and head off a Crisis that threatens to destroy all of their worlds. Heroes and villains from Gaslight, Atomic, Arcane, Mecha and other worlds battle and join forces with Prime Earth Batman in this rapidly escalating conflict. In addition to characters from the video game, two characters are being introduced just for the comic book: a re-imagined Harbinger and the terrifying, all new Atomic Two-Face.
The INFINITE CRISIS digital-first comic book series will replace the Monday slot previously held by ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. The Man of Steel anthology series ends its run today with Chapter 51, while fans can continue to collect the final chapters in print.

A man walks into a bar and says, "Bartender, give me two shots." "Two?" the barkeep says."Yep, one for me and one for this little guy here," the man says, pulling a tiny man from his pocket.The bartender asks, "Can he drink?" "Sure, he can drink." The bartender pours the shots and sure enough, the little guy drinks his all up. "That's amazing!" says the bartender. "Can he walk?" The man flicks a quarter to the end of the bar and says, "Hey, Jake. Go get that." The little guy retrieves the quarter and brings it back."That's really amazing!" says the bartender. "Does he talk?" The man says, "Sure he talks! Hey, Jake, tell him about that time we were in Africa and you made fun of that witch doctor!"

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kohki Idoki, of Osaka, Japan, participated today in a golf shot from the roof of the new Inn at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich., to a target green more than 200 yards away. The event was part of media day activities for the upcoming 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, May 22-25 at Harbor Shores. The day also included a golf outing and a fireside chat with the Champion, hosted by Julius Mason, senior director of communications for The PGA of America. As a result of Kohki's "Shot at the Inn," 1,000 tickets to the Championship were donated to local area youth organizations.
"Kohki is a fine champion and a great international ambassador for the game of golf," said Jeff Hintz, championship director of the 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. "It was a thrill for everyone involved to watch Kohki's enthusiasm for the rooftop shot and accuracy from 215 yards."
This was Idoki's first trip back to the U.S. following his victory at the 2013 Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Mo. He will return to Harbor Shores this May to defend his Senior PGA Championship title.
The 2014 field includes golf legends such as Tom Watson, Colin Montgomerie, Fred Couples, Kenny Perry and Roger Chapman, the 2012 Senior PGA Champion. This will be the second time Harbor Shores hosts the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. The Championship will return to Harbor Shores again in 2016 and 2018.
Tickets to the 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid may be purchased online at SPGA2014.com or by calling the Championship office at 269-487-3200.
About the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid
Started in 1937, the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid is the most prestigious major championship in senior golf. It was born on the grounds of one of golf's greatest majors at the invitation of one of the game's greatest players. At the suggestion of renowned amateur Bobby Jones, the inaugural Championship was conducted at Augusta National Golf Club three years after the first Masters Tournament. Many of the game's greatest players have won the Championship's Alfred S. Bourne Trophy – a roster that features Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson.

LaCie Reveals New Server Technology For Small Businesses with Windows Home Server
LaCie Reveals New Server Technology For Small Businesses with Windows Home Server
LaCie demonstrates a new network storage server based on the Microsoft Windows Home Server platform. The product will be shown for the first time at the CES. This server leverages the success of LaCie's award winning 5big Network, which features five user-replaceable drives, Gigabit Ethernet, and data protection support for data integrity. The technology demonstration shows that by combining Microsoft and LaCie technologies on a single platform, small business users can enjoy a seamless interface to automatically back up computers to a single server. The server secures their backup both locally and remotely by automatically copying their critical data to the cloud, using LaCie's Wuala technology.
"LaCie's network server offers an exciting design and provides plenty of storage options with terabytes of capacity and the ability to back up data from local computers and to cloud-based services," said Leslie McGuire, Director of Windows Server Marketing at Microsoft. "We're pleased to have LaCie join us as a Windows Home Server partner."
"Our aim with this technology demonstration is to show that by teaming with Microsoft and through our Wuala cloud storage technology, we can provide an enterprise-grade, data protection solution with both local backup and off-site replication in one low-cost, compact system," said Erwan Girard, Solutions Business Unit Manager. "By leveraging the groundbreaking Wuala cloud technology, which ensures the highest speed in data upload and download, our server will provide truly usable cloud-based data backup and restore to accommodate the large amounts of data generated by small businesses."
Additional product details will be available once it is officially announcement in the first quarter of 2010.

Hey everyone, the Steam for Linux client is now available!
Well, that's the title of Valve's announcement, at least. The reality is that Steam for Linux has been freely downloadable since the beta opened up last December. As of today, though, you can finally grab the client software right from the Ubuntu Software Center—the same place you'd find LibreOffice, Skype, Gimp, and that obscure text editor your bearded hacker friend won't shut up about.
The Steam for Linux client looks and behaves pretty much like the Windows version. It even includes the new Big Picture mode, so you can use it comfortably on a home-theater system. A number of Valve's own games are available—Team Fortess 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike 1.6, and Half-Life—as are many casual and indie titles.
Honestly, I was pretty impressed with the whole thing when I tested it on that Zotac mini-PC earlier this month. Valve has done a pretty terrific job.
To celebrate today's release (and make some Linux geeks slightly poorer), Valve has kicked off a big Linux sale on Steam. More than 50 titles are available at either half price or quarter price, and the sale is scheduled continue until next Thursday at 10:00 AM PST. Most of the games available are of the indie variety, but there are some pretty solid deals to be found. Among the highlights are:
These are all cross-platform games, by the way. Thanks to Valve's Steam Play feature, you can buy a single license and play on any supported platform—be it Linux, Windows, or OS X. Naturally, that means the sale is by no means exclusive to Linux users. Anyone can partake, and they'll be free to enjoy their purchases if they give Steam on Linux a shot.

iTrax is a fast-paced and eye-catching game where players race to build what they see. The game comes with eight multi-colored cubes and 36 multi-colored rods along with 25 double-sided game cards. The cards are divided into three difficulty levels: ace (beginner), whiz (moderate), and brainiac (hard). To play, each player gets two cubes and nine rods, three of each length. Choose your difficulty level and place those cards in a pile in the center of the playing space. All players quickly look at the top card to find the one path on the card that connects two cubes and then recreate it in front of them using the correct rods and cubes. If you're the first to correctly build the path, you keep the card. The first person with seven cards wins the game. iTrax is for two to four players.
The gameplay may be simple to learn, but building the paths with the correct rods and cubes can be challenging. You must correctly match the colors and rod sizes, and you can only use your eyes to help you determine what pieces you need. No building on the card or holding the pieces up to the card. This game really requires a good eye.
iTrax is for ages 6 and up.
This game is available at learningresources.com, specialty stores, and other online retailers.

NEW YORK — Carolina Herrera will be the recipient of the Superstar award at Fashion Group International's "Night of Stars" gala this fall.
This story first appeared in the July 16, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The annual event, which will take place at Cipriani Wall Street on Oct. 25, will be themed "Dreamcatchers," and Herrera, who is also a Fashion Group member, joins a club of past honorees that includes Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta and Nicolas Ghesquière.
"Carolina is an international icon and a brilliant businesswoman," Fashion Group president Margaret Hayes said. "For over three decades, she's remained true to her elegant design aesthetic in everything — from her signature collection to her bridal, accessories and fragrance collections — while presiding over a global business with a singular focus on excellence. She has an innate understanding of what smart, chic women everywhere want when it comes to style and beauty."
In addition to Herrera, Fashion Group will also hand out several Star honors. In fashion, Haider Ackermann, Derek Lam and Gareth Pugh will receive a Star nod. Annabelle Selldorf will be given one in architecture, and MAC Cosmetics' James Gager in beauty. The evening's Brand Heritage Award will go to the Maramotti family for Max Mara; the Sustainability Award to Jon King for Tiffany & Co., and the Humanitarian Award to Wynton Marsalis.
As in previous years, Simon Doonan will serve as the gala's emcee, and Ruben Toledo is creating illustrations for the program and invitation.

Another Modern Dilemma

The relationship to stress and anxiety is crucial, for it distinguishes burnout from simple exhaustion. Run a marathon, paint your living room, catalogue your collection of tea caddies, and the tiredness you experience will be infused with a deep satisfaction and faintly haloed in smugness – feelings that confirm you've discharged your duty to the world for at least the remainder of the day."Getting away from it all" for a week or two doesn't help because in the interconnected world you can't get away:
The exhaustion experienced in burnout combines an intense yearning for this state of completion with the tormenting sense that it cannot be attained, that there is always some demand or anxiety or distraction which can't be silenced....
A walk in the country or a week on the beach should, theoretically, provide a similar sense of relief. But such attempts at recuperation are too often foiled by the nagging sense of being, as one patient put it, "stalked" by the job. A tormenting dilemma arises: keep your phone in your pocket and be flooded by work-related emails and texts; or switch it off and be beset by unshakeable anxiety over missing vital business.Having experienced burnout at times, I'm sympathetic--but not overly so--toward fellow sufferers. The millions who are unemployed find it hard to get out of bed, too, but they often lack money, self-worth, and social acceptance that comes from employment. They would love to feel the pressure of a demanding job (okay, maybe for just a little while).
Or the burned out could try charity work. Meeting people who are in dire circumstances helps one to appreciate one's own life. Gratitude can chase despair.

Amy Vanderbilt and Emily Post are Long Gone
Pokeatery, Poki Bowl, and PokeStop.
However, be careful when typing the name of the latter on Yelp, the popular restaurant and services rating site. What pops up may not be just fish.
Yelp now has a filter that shows whether a PokéStop (a place where Pokémon Go players can get rewards) is near a business.
Gone are the days when eating establishments frowned on telephones, paper and pen, or even talking business at the tables. Today restaurants are actively courting patrons who furiously flick their thumbs across tiny screens, trying to snare imaginary monsters.
Yelp is just responding to market demand. As for the patrons, they are far, far away from their frowning grandmothers, so what's the problem?

Fear Is the Key
Jon Meacham lists What a President Needs to Know and all but declares that Donald Trump doesn't have it and won't ever get it:
Come November, we'll see which fears carry the day.
You don't need a Ph.D. to lead the nation, but you do need to know–as Trump did not appear to grasp in one of the debates–what the nuclear triad is. Or that the Quds and the Kurds, not to mention Hamas and Hizballah, are different things. Or that you can't order military officers to engage in illegal torture. Or that Ted Cruz's father was not linked to the Kennedy assassination. Or that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya. At his first joint appearance with Clinton on the campaign trail, President Obama put the matter clearly: "You've actually got to know what you're talking about."To be fair Jon Meacham gives time to the Trumpian counter-argument:
As [Trump] likes to point out, if the elites are so smart, then why is the world in the shape it's in–and why, exactly, is he now the Republican nominee? [snip]Throughout the campaign the Trump-is-too-risky argument has been made by people who are doing just fine in the current system. So far they've been outnumbered by those who fear more of the same.
"Government is built with many layers to avoid making mistakes," wrote Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and one of the nominee's most important advisers. "The problem with this is that it costs a lot and little gets done. In business, we empower smart people to get jobs done and give them latitude on how to get there. I prefer to move forward and endure some small mistakes to preserving a stale status quo whose sole virtue is that it offends no one." In this construction, lack of knowledge and a get-stuff-done attitude would be assets–even if they sometimes get stuff wrong and break some geopolitical crockery along the way.
Come November, we'll see which fears carry the day.

Hexit Before Brexit
|Henry VIII (biography.com)
"In 1534, the Act of Supremacy declares the king to be the head of the Church of England, completing the break with Rome."Henry VIII founded the Anglican Church when Pope Clement VII would not annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. In one of the most famous divorces in history Henry divorced Catherine and married Anne Boleyn.
------ Kenneth C. Davis. "America's Hidden History." HarperCollins.
In 1517 Martin Luther had birthed the Reformation by posting the 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle church. A few years later, but before the events of 1534, Henry defended the Roman Catholic Church against Luther's heresies in one of history's ironies. (The Pope rewarded England's monarch with the title "Defender of the Faith").
The fracturing of Western Christianity has lasted nearly 500 years. Henry's exit ("Hexit"?) was far more consequential than Brexit is ever likely to be.

Still Not Turning It On
We've been marveling at the rapid adoption of Pokémon Go but have not played the game because of privacy issues. WSJ tech reporter Joanna Stern says that we should set those concerns aside: [bold added]
Just like many of us can't imagine a world without smartphones, I suppose in a few years we won't be able to live without AR glasses that explain the history of what we're looking at or superimpose a person's personal data over his image.
Nevertheless, Pokémon Go will have to wait. I've got a pile of books to finish, financial records to organize, and clutter to clear. And miles to go before I sleep....
We're standing at a defining moment in the history of technology...Pokémon Go makes its players go outside, meet other players in person, and walk more (to "hatch" eggs). Even if we're already socially and physically active, Ms. Stern argues that experiencing augmented reality (AR) is another reason to play.
If you've been fighting to ignore this phenomenon, you should check it out, too. Not just because you may get to know new places or people, or because you may enjoy the charming absurdity of little monsters dancing on your desk. It's time to witness the power of augmented reality, which connects us to others and our environment in a way no technology has before.

AppleCare: Not a Loser
|Transferring backup files to the replacement iPhone.
Apple's tech Genius said that the freezing of the touchscreen was a known hardware problem on the iPhone 6; luckily the iPhone was only in month 20 of its 24-month AppleCare contract.
Your humble blogger has the Apple triad--MacBook, iPad, and iPhone--and a hardware problem on at least one of them crops up every year or two.
I always buy AppleCare on all three, which is still cheaper than replacing one device when it breaks down.
Gamble if the odds are at least close to even, but not buying AppleCare is almost a sure loser.

A Concern I Didn't Use to Share
|Pokémon Gym at the local church:
One way to attract the younger crowd.
Like many tech inventions, a simple description makes it hard to see what the fuss is all about:
Pokémon Go is a smartphone game that blends the real and digital worlds, tasking players with exploring their neighborhoods to find creatures and treasure for in-game use....
Go is almost boringly simple: Once you encounter a Pokémon in the wild, Go switches into "capture mode," where users flick Pokeballs at the creature until they nab it.
|Staring at the smartphone instead of Cupid's Span (Chronicle)
Animal shelters stand to benefit from rabid Pokémon Go gaming.
The SF Zoo finds three Pokémon Go gyms on property, rolls with it
4,500 say they'll hunt Pokémon together on the streets of San Francisco
'Pokémon Go' users help cops arrest attempted-murder suspect
Players get hurt hunting for 'Pokémon Go' monsters
Your humble blogger did download Pokémon Go but hasn't activated it due to privacy issues.
No game is that important---to be sure, a concern I would not have shared 30 years ago.

Cheer if It's Clear
|(Image from Distilled Water Association)
the main reason appears to be that it helps fill your stomach, making you less hungry and less likely to overeat. In addition, drinking more water may discourage you from guzzling soda and other calorie-laden beverages.Drinking water makes a lot of sense, and anecdotal testimonies abound, but there hasn't been much research done on the relationship between drinking water and weight-loss until now. In a study of 9,500 adults scientists found
a link between dehydration and overweight. People who weren't hydrated enough had higher BMIs [Body Mass Indexes] than those who were.Useful tip:
So how can you tell if you're drinking enough water? Instead of sticking to a cup-per-day recommendation, [U of Michigan professor Tammy] Chang says the most reliable way to tell is to check the color of your urine. If it's light, almost the color of water, then you likely are, but if it's dark, you need to step up your water intake.Despite her advice, I'm not giving up my asparagus.

Question of the Day: "Will Robots Replace Accountants?"
"The thesis is, very broadly speaking, that we see two different futures for the professions, both of which rest upon technology."Comments, some too easy:
The first future bears a striking resemblance to the present day. Professionals will use increasingly sophisticated technologies to enhance their traditional ways of working.
The second future Daniel describes, however, is radically different from the first.
"Here technology doesn't simply streamline and optimise that traditional approach, it actively displaces the work of traditional professionals."
1) "Will robots replace accountants?" Wait, hasn't that already happened?
2) "Some of these systems will still require humans in order to function." Still? That's a relief.
3) Robot accountants don't make mistakes--and presumably will be hard-wired to be honest*--so bye-bye audits!
*Obviously, robot lawyers are many years away.
4) Robot accountants preparing financial statements and robot financial advisors making investments may be alarming, but if robots can do my tax returns I'm all in.

Understanding or Anger?
|(YouTube image)
This past week was a sad and terribly tragic week in which two black men, one in Baton Rouge, and another in St. Paul, Minnesota were shot and killed by police, only to be followed by the killing of five police officers and the wounding of another seven police officers and two civilians in Dallas....What do these events say about the United States of America as a nation? What are we to do?I know from past discussions that he, like many Episcopal clergy, subscribe to the social justice movement, which holds that most of our troubles are the result of "-isms", i.e., racism, sexism, capitalism, and the values traditionally associated with Middle America, such as the Protestant ethic and the right to bear arms.
But today he took off his social-justice warrior hat and tried to bridge the gap in understanding [bold added]:
The young people behind the Black Lives Matter movement intend to be provocative. But in being provocative and prophetic, they are not being correctly heard. The Black Lives Matter movement has been countered by an "All Lives Matter" movement, and a "Police Lives Matter" movement. Steve Hartman of CBS News said this weekend that a necessary word needed is the word "some." Some police shoot and kill young black men, not all police. Some young black men are out of control and dangerous, not all. Some people are racist, not all. Imagine if the word "too" was added so it would say, "Black Lives Matter too." Wouldn't this get to the point that black lives, as any other life matters? Wouldn't it still point to the ongoing national tragedy of the killing of young black men?"Black lives matter, too," has been suggested before. Whether one uses the phrase depends on whether one is trying to change the hearts of the indifferent and antagonistic or whether one is trying to silence them with one's righteous anger.

Building a Wall Won't Help Here
|The number of Chinese homebuyers now surpasses the number from Canada (Barron's)
Hong Kong Chinese were the first wave, many of them taking precautions against a disastrous outcome from the 1997 transfer of sovereignty. For the past two decades, though, we've had an influx of home buyers who originate from mainland China.
Barron's takes notice:
The Chinese again dominated the ranks of international homebuyers in the U.S., solidifying their first-place rank for a second straight year, according to the latest survey from the National Association of Realtors. Chinese buyers bought 29,195 homes in 2016, for a total of about $27 billion.
Remarkably, buyers from China still spent astonishing sums, paying $936,615 on average for homes from California to Texas to New Jersey in the period from April 2015 to March 2016. That's up from $831,761 the year before — and far more than the average $477,462 paid by all foreign buyers. Another starker point of comparison: The average U.S. home buyer paid only $266,683.
61% of all Chinese homebuyers in 2016 were U.S. residents, up from 53% a year earlier. In other words, the Chinese who are in a position to buy the most U.S. real estate were those living within the U.S., not China.

Payments Revolution or Devolution
|The new Costco Visa has a chip but the
Costco machines are swipe only. Maybe
Costco doesn't trust the technology?
The new Costco credit card was supposed to make everybody happy.....Comments:
As soon the switch went into effect, though, Costco members reported problems with the card and vented their frustrations on social media. Cards weren't mailed on time, there were long delays on customer service lines, and in some cases cards couldn't be activated at all. Citi, the card's new issuer, has spent the past couple of weeks extinguishing fires.
1) I activated the Costco credit card by doing it the old-fashioned way and used the phone. I then used it at Costco (without a hitch). Properly established, I set up an online ID on the Citi website and linked it to the credit card. However, the first payment will be via check.
2) When starting with a new vendor, bank, or credit card company, I always pay via check for a few months.
Get your account flowing---it's not good to miss your first payment---then set up the "modern" payment method (website, mobile pay, automatic transfer, etc.) that you prefer. Checks-mailed-to-a-lockbox are a proven system that has been around for decades, and the paperless methods for most companies are bolted on top of the existing system. Yes, planning ahead a few days is so very difficult, it's such a hassle writing a check and stamping an envelope, so go ahead and take your chances....
3) It's one's right to be a demanding customer and post complaints on message boards, but have you noticed that the majority who do the complaining are themselves quite slovenly in their work product? Conscientious workers know how hard it is to make things perfectly and make allowances when complex products are introduced.

Not 1968 Yet
This week's fatal police shootings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana brought the issue of "blue on black" violence to a boiling point, culminating in widespread demonstrations. Tonight's headline, Snipers open fire on officers during Dallas protest, killing 4, is shocking, but not surprising, given the inflamed emotions of the current day.
[Update - 7/9: the final casualty count is 5 officers killed, 7 officers wounded, 2 civilians wounded, and 1 shooter killed.]
The zeitgeist of the times has evoked memories of a Presidential election year a half-century ago, but we have a long way to go, thankfully, before 2016 will be as tumultuous as 1968, which had two assassinations and hundreds of American troops dying each month in a far-off war. True, there are protest movements that threaten to disrupt the major parties' conventions, there's a cloud of uncertainty over Europe as Russia and China are ascendant, and neither of the leading Presidential candidates excites the majority of the country, but 2016 is not 1968, and we'll pull through.
In one respect the past was much better than today. Here are 1968's top 20 songs, many of which are still played. (50 years from now I doubt that we'll have more than a couple from 2016.)

International Master Adam Hunt is a full-time chess teacher and is thus very familiar with this problem. His solution is to present an accessible and easy-to-read guide for club players and juniors. Hunt studies all the key components of chess strategy, including development, king safety, attack and defence, initiative, pawn play and much more. He examines not only grandmaster games but also those played by students, demonstrates model strategic play, identifies typical mistakes and explains how to avoid them. Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess
Chess Strategy - Move by Move

Vladimir Kramnik is a giant of the chess world. He firmly secured his legendary status when he won the World Championship in 2000 by defeating the previously dominant Garry Kasparov - the only player ever to do so in a match. Kramnik held on to his crown for seven years, and today he remains one of the World's elite players. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in a study of his favourite Kramnik games.

An Uncompromising Repertoire for Black
The Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence continues to be extremely popular, both with top grandmasters and club players. And for very good reasons: it is a flexible, ambitious, wonderfully rich and diverse system, offering one of the best ways for Black to play for a win. Both Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov achieved great successes with their beloved Najdorf.

Strategic ideas and Powerful Weapons
In The Perfect Pirc-Modern, Viktor Moskalenko, a renowned propagator of dynamic play who has championed the Pirc-Modern for many years, presents and explains:
The Perfect Pirc-Modern
The French Defence is one of the most popular and reliable responses to 1.e4. Black invites his opponent to gain space in the centre, with the intention of undermining the enemy position and launching a counterattack. Although the amount of theory has expanded in recent years, the French often leads to positions where positional and strategic understanding prove more relevant than long sequences of computer-generated moves. Grandmaster Repertoire 14 - The French Defence 1 introduces the Winawer Variation after the opening moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4, and provides expert recommendations against all of White's major possibilities
Grandmaster Repertoire - The French Defence - Vol. 1
The Modern Benoni arises after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6. It leads to unbalanced structures and exciting play, so it has naturally been a favourite of ambitious attacking players such as Tal, Fischer and, more recently, Topalov, Ivanchuk and Gashimov.
Grandmaster Repertoire 12 - The Modern Benoni
The French Defence is one of the most popular and reliable responses to 1.e4. Grandmaster Repertoire 15 – The French Defence 2 covers the most critical variation of the Winawer, which occurs after the opening moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3† 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Qg4. This volume presents three contrasting ways of meeting White's aggressive opening system: 7...cxd4 leading to the notorious Winawer Poisoned Pawn; 7...0–0 8.Bd3 f5, a solid yet strategically complex system; and 7...0–0 8.Bd3 Nbc6, which leads to a tense, full-blooded battle.
Grandmaster Repertoire - The French Defence - Vol. 2
This book, which is a collection of games of the great German chess Z. Tarrasch, enjoyed wide popularity at the end of last and the beginning of this century. For many generations it served as a textbook players at every stage of a chess game and is considered a classic.

This is the very first book to focus exclusively on Hikaru Nakamura, the greatest American chess player since the legendary Bobby Fischer.
Fighting Chess with Hikaru Nakamura
Grandmaster Repertoire 16 – The French Defence 3 concludes this ambitious three-volume series by offering a comprehensive repertoire against the Advance, Tarrasch, and other alternatives to 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3.
Grandmaster Repertoire 16 - The French Defence - Vol. 3
This volume completes Artur Yusupov's course of chess improvement. The Fundamentals series showed players the basic ideas they should know. The Beyond the Basics series set off on the road to mastery, and now in the Mastery series we have arrived at our final destination. Yusupov guides the reader using carefully selected positions and advice. This new understanding is then tested by a series of puzzles.
Chess Evolution 3 - Mastery
The French Defence is one of the most solid and strategically rich responses to 1.e4. Many opening lines have been analysed to death by computer, but the French is relatively resistant to this growing trend, as the characteristic blocked pawn centre leads to situations where a player with superior understanding can overcome an opponent whose expertise lies in computer-assisted preparation.
Playing the French
The Nimzo-Larsen Attack is an ideal opening choice for players keen to avoid mainline theory but still wanting to set their opponents problems from the outset. In the Nimzo-Larsen, White begins 1 b3 and then develops in hypermodern fashion – planning to undermine any central structures Black dares to erect. A key attraction of the Nimzo-Larsen is that White can steer the game into either sharp play or elaborate strategic battles. In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in examining the many different variations of the Nimzo-Larsen. Lakdawala studies the typical plans and tactics for both sides, offers repertoire options for White, provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.
The Nimzo-Larsen Attack - Move by Move
In Strategic Play Jacob Aagaard digs deep into the most complex area of chess thinking. The games and exercises in this book transcend regular chess skills, such as pattern recognition, calculation and positional analysis. Building on the two previous books in the Grandmaster Preparation series, this book challenges the reader to explore the complexities of chess, offering clarity and understanding through Aagaard's straightforward approach.
Grandmaster Preparation - Strategic Play - PAPERBACK
The Best Move is a collection of very hard Chess problems based on actual grandmaster games. The reader is asked who has the advantage and why. Points are awarded not only for getting the answer right, but for seeing deeply into the positions. These problems are based primarily on the games of Grandmaster Hort and Grandmaster Jansa. These are not the typical ''White to play and Win'' problems. rather, the reader is asked to decide who is better. These are very hard problems. Do not be surprised if you do any of them, or if you get them only by guessing.
The Best Move
Fighting the Sicillian With an Early f4
The Grand Prix Attack is one of White's deadliest weapons against the Sicilian Defence. It continues to be highly popular with tournament chess players all over the world. While earlier publications mainly focused on tactics, this book the finally gives the GPA the coverage it deserves.
The Grand Prix Attack
This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge.

Will.I.Am's Dealbreaker: No Wet Wipes!
Will.I.Am. at Street Scene San Diego in 2009
Beth Stirnaman
ELLE published an interview with Will.I.Am. mentioning what he won't tolerate in a woman. One involved condoms (i.e., women who own condoms are skanky) and the other involves using baby wipes. Really? From the writer of "What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk? My hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps"? Read the interview excerpt after the jump.
Wet sinks?
Yeah, like a wet sink. You don't wipe the sink after you use it? Dry it off! And if she's got only dry toilet paper and no baby wipes next to the toilet. You ain't got no baby wipes?
I've heard about this particular deal breaker before. Why is that a big deal to you?
Here's proof on why people should have baby wipes. Get some chocolate, wipe it on a wooden floor, and then try to get it up with some dry towels. You're going to get chocolate in the cracks. That's why you gotta get them baby wipes.

amw1dancer - Mint remake! For Project Runway
I re-made a dress that I had made a long time ago out of curtains. An iron was very important for me to get the dramatic and crisp look I wanted for my pleats. I also used an iron to control my ruffles.

Mother in jail after 'trying to kill herself and her autistic teenage daughter'
- Kelli Stapleton is accused of trying to kill herself and her 14-year-old daughter Isabelle who has an acute form of autism
- The mother, 45, was released from a Michigan hospital on Thursday and taken to a local jail while her daughter remains in critical condition
- The mother had documented her family's struggle to control Isabelle's violent outbursts and failed treatment attempts
The mother of a teenager with autism has been charged with attempted murder as police believe she tried killing herself and her daughter.
Kelli Stapleton, 45, is expected to be arraigned in the coming days after her release Thursday from a Grand Rapids, Michigan hospital where she was treated for carbon monoxide poisoning following the failed suicide attempt.
In a statement released, her husband Matt said their daughter Isabelle remains hospitalized in critical condition and unconscious after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning.
Police said she and her daughter were found Tuesday after having suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Scroll down for video
Mother and child: Kelli Stapleton, left, was found alongside her daughter Isabelle, right, just hours after her husband reported them missing and they were both unconscious
Mrs Stapleton had been vocal in the difficulties her family faced in treating her daughter's autism, and kept a blog chronicling their efforts that was titled 'The Status Woe'.
Isabelle is being treated at a Grand Rapids children's hospital.
Matt Stapleton had reported his wife and their oldest daughter missing Tuesday afternoon after receiving a phone message from Kelli and discovering the van was gone from their home in Elberta, a small community along Lake Michigan and about 30 miles west of Traverse City.
'He took that as a disconcerting message... despondent,' Belcher said.
After police found the van, mother and daughter were rushed to a hospital in Traverse and later moved to Grand Rapids for specialized care.
Can't forgive: Issy's father Matt Stapleton, right, has opened up about his wife's actions last September
Kelli Stapleton was taken Thursday to the Benzie County Jail while her daughter is still in doctors care.
'(Isabelle) is currently receiving help from a respirator and breathing tube, and her blood pressure is stable,' Matt Stapleton wrote about his daughter in his email to media.
'At this time, she is still unresponsive after being lifted from the medically induced coma she was put in for the treatment of her injuries.'
Earlier this year, the family told the Traverse City Record-Eagle about their struggles with medical insurance and state and local agencies as they sought care for their then-13-year-old daughter.
They said her acute autism at times led to violent outbursts from Isabelle. Kelli Stapleton was injured and hospitalized twice.
Special needs: Mrs Stapleton documented her daughter's struggles on her blog, posting videos of them playing
The couple said a center for autism training and research near Kalamazoo told them their daughter could need as much as eight months of treatment to decrease her aggressive behavior, but the financial cost would be high. Isabelle was put into a month-long program at the center in January.
Help: Kelli, seen here saying her nightly prayers with Isabelle, said that her daughter can be extremely aggressive
'She is a great kid with a lot of potential,' Kelli Stapleton told the newspaper.
'She's so smart. She started reading when she was 2. She's got so much to offer, but her aggression is going to limit her life as much as anything.'
Isabelle's outbursts primarily were targeted at her mother and younger sister. An older brother and her father missed most of it.
'When I was home ... I'd be with her most of the time because of the aggressive nature,' Matt Stapleton told the newspaper.
'By the end, I was as much of a target as anybody. Of course, I can defend myself a little differently.
'She's gotten to that point where she can't help herself. She's hurting herself and she's hurting others. She'll always be autistic and she'll always be with us, but unless we're able to get some help for some of these behaviors she has, I don't even know how to predict how the next 20 years will look like.'
'If she was permanently broken, maybe we could have given up at some point. But she's really not,' Kelli told the Record-Eagle.

The Ruy Lopez is a very strategic opening, where White wants to build up the centre. The nature of the opening is that it puts pressure on e5. The bishop on b5 attacks the knight which defends e5. White would love to play d4, and if black is forced to play exd4 because e5 is impossible to defend, it would be lovely.
In the Italian game (3. Bc4) the game becomes very tactical, where sacrifices on f7 is quite common.
well likhit it seems Ruy lopez is better.
Ruy lopez's are extremly complex games, with a mind boggling amount of theory

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 534 reviews
Tired rooms, and cheap looking `updates'...I wouldn't have paid the supplier of those bedheads that are all out of shape and sad looking!
All good. Very comfortable. High quality hotel, reasonable price.
Perfect one day, excellent the next !
Great location with the patrolled beach and many restaurants all within walking distance. The unit had a seperate kitchen and lounge room which led onto a small balcony. Overall the place was tidy but needed a really good clean, shower recess had mould on the tiles and a couple of cockroaches appeared from under the sink. If you wanted to have the linen changed, there is a $30 per day charge which I think is outrageous considering what you pay for a night.
always good

Adbombing Billboard Project to Launch at Bardot Thursday
Tired of seeing lame billboards on your way to work every day? So is Josh Stutt, the mind behind a project to turn some of Miami's most visible advertising spaces into giant canvases for local artists.
Adbombing aims to buy ad space in the Magic City's hottest markets and use that space to feature 305 creatives. But it can't do it without a financial boost. So it's launching an Indiegogo campaign this Thursday with a party at Bardot.

The goal of the project, Stutt says, is to take over three billboards for a period of three months -- peak of Miami's arts season that covers Wynwood's III Points Festival and Art Basel. He wants to cover all costs for the artists selected to spruce up the billboards -- and he wants to pay them for their efforts. Over 20 artists are currently being considered for one of the three winning spots, including Nate Dee, Ruben Ubiera, Kazilla, Ivan Roque, and more.
But in order to "cover all the production costs involved, material costs for the painters, and money for the artists' pocket," he told New Times, it'll take about $100,000. That ain't cheap.

So he's hoping to get by with a little help from his friends -- and the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. A campaign to raise funds launches tomorrow night at Bardot. Attendees can show up and support Adbombing's efforts to "turn ad space to art space," all while sipping one of the venue's signature Moscow mules. The reggae group Jahfe will perform late in the night.
The party starts at 10 p.m., and suggested donation is $20. Visit adbombing.org.
