Been so busy lately didn’t have time to catch up my email. Received this First Round pairing for the WSFFM held on the 28 Mei – 01 JUN 2007. In it I was surprised by the many female participants with the name Siti. Well none of them happened to be our 5 times National Woman [...]

The start of the game has been delayed to settle the controversy between the two sides. Update 15:30h: Topalov is sitting at the board, Kramnik’s clock is running. The ‘game’ started at 15:22h Elista time. 15:45h: Kramnik is in his rest room, and is waiting for his [...]

By the way, durian is classified under sources of good fats (same as in fish, egg yolks, nuts, seeds, olives).
Besides that durians are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Thiamin, Vitamin [...]
