We've got major hoop dreams — but not the b-ball kind (we're way too short and old for that).
We're talking hula hoops, specifically those being whirled by Pilates instructor Jen Bleier for her new Hoopilates classes in New York.
In this video, Bleier teaches some basic moves you can do from anywhere — and, yes, you will break a sweat.
If you think you can't get a hoop up to save your life — think again. Bleier uses a handcrafted version by Brooklyn-based Circle Candy that's heavier and wider than the standard — so it's much easier to maneuver. Plus, you get a better workout.
Making it a slam dunk.
To buy a Circle Candy hula hoop, go to circlecandy.com. For more information about Hoopilates, go to hoopilatesnyc.com.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Our bodies, other people's bodies. And birthdays!
Strolling down the street, my daughter was stopped by an abortion protester. "Are you going to the clinic today?" he demanded as he launched his accusatory diatribe.
"Um, actually, I'm going to the art museum," she answered. "He looked more offended than if I had answered yes to his original question."
What good could come from election recall
The other day was job performance review day for me. Those always come with a bit of trepidation, especially during these times of fewer jobs. No matter how well you think or know you are doing, you also know you're replaceable.
You have observed that some employers (surely not yours, but other people's) behave badly during such times. Part of it's their stress, and part of it's just that they can.
Why did the chicken cross 60th Street?
The invisible wall at 60th Street that separates Wauwatosa from, well, That Other Place, has been breached again, raising concerns about the city's security.
Only this time, it's a chicken, whose Milwaukee owner or owners were really too "irresponsible" for the privilege of chicken-owning. Probably they were single mothers, too, and we all know that alone is grounds for declaring chicken neglect.
Shifting gears on Mother's Day
The housekeeper at work, a woman about my age, told me about the Mother's Day feast she was planning for all the young mothers in her family.
"I got me linen and candles and new recipes: 17 ladies coming!" she said. "Those girls, they need someone to look after them." Not all of her guests were the young mothers, of course, but the grandmothers, aunts, and other women who make up the caring village parenting needs. The good fairies who bless and watch over children, no matter whose they are.
Choices, food, and fat
Sometimes, you just can't avoid cognitive dissonance.
At the Wisconsin Public Health Association meeting in The Dells, we perused the sports bar menu and laughed at our choices. Should we get the deep fried pickles, the deep fried cheese curds, the cheese-n-fat soaked nachos (not the name on the menu), or the sliders with deep fried onion rings and french fries?
Voting and the perpetuation of error
When a friend mentioned she'd voted early in the election to recall Scott Walker, I decided to follow in her footsteps. So Friday I climbed the stairs to the Wauwatosa City Clerk's office, got my ballot and envelope, and completed the line to connect the arrow pointing to my choices.
Which I'm pretty sure were not the choices of the other woman dropping off her absentee ballot while I was there.

Have become his go-to shoe
My son is a Crocs kid, will not wear sneakers except for when required at gym. He picked out the color (light blue and blue) and has been wearing these for the past few days every time we leave the house. As with all fuzzy Crocs, I expect that the "fuzz" will mat over time, but this is to be expected with how much wear they receive. They are warm enough that I do not make him wear socks with them unless there is snow on the ground.

love these
Love these; they are my indoor slippers and outdoor walk the dog shoes. Sizing however is very confusing. I have an old pair which is a ladies size 6. I ordered a new pair in same size and they were huge; I had to return and order a Junior 3. What an inconvenience and I hate paying return shipping especally when Crocs changes the sizing without notice. Also, PLEASE BRING BACK THE LINERS!! They get old and funky no matter how many times you wash them. Charge more if you have to or sell them as an add-on when a customer is purchasing a pair of crocs.
Make my feet look big.
They were a bit big on me. I usually wear a size 3 (ordered the 3, but they were too big) exchanged for a size 2 which fit much better. They make my feet look huge, and lack some of the arch support that my regular crocs have. Still very comfy.

Shun Pro Deba Knife
- Special Offer
- Summary
Staying true to its Asian origins, the Shun Pro collection features the classic single-bevel blades and distinct styling that define traditional Japanese cutlery. Originally known as a "fish knife," the deba is equally adept at performing precision cuts on chicken, beef and other meats.
- The traditional single-bevel, scalpel-like edge is the favored style for preparing Asian cuisine, including sushi and sashimi.
- The mirror-polished, ultra sharp cutting edge ensures the blade glides through delicate foods without bruising or tearing to retain maximum flavor.
- Graffiti etching on the blade's sides give this collection an elegant, contemporary look.
- The blade is constructed of high-carbon VG-10 "super steel" designed for maximum strength and edge retention.
- Premium D-shaped PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably into the curves of the palm, offering control and a secure grip.
- An extra-wide "shinogi," or blade bevel, makes sharpening with whetstone nearly effortless.
- Shun knives reflect the craftsmanship of a centuries-old tradition of Japanese knifemaking, with an eye towards the latest innovations in cutlery design.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 6 1/2"-long blade.
- 8 1/4"-long blade.
- 5"-long handle.
- 10.25 oz.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
- Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

The brain and spinal cord are covered by layers of tissue. These layers are called the meninges. Certain bacteria can cause an infection in these layers. This is called bacterial meningitis.
It is a serious infection that causes inflammation of the brain and spinal tissue. Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. Depending on the severity of the infection, it can result in death within hours.
Bacterial meningitis is caused by many different bacteria and varies by age group. The most common are pneumococcal meningitis, meningococcal meningitis, and Hemophilus influenza B meningitis. The brain and spinal cord are protected from the bloodstream by the blood-brain barrier. Under certain circumstances bacteria in the bloodstream can travel through the blood-brain barrier into the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord causing meningitis. Severity of the infection depends on the bacteria causing it.
Transmission of the bacteria usually occurs by direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions, such as inhaling droplets from someone who sneezes or coughs, or by kissing. The spread of the bacteria depends on the time of the year, crowding, and the presence other respiratory infections.
Risk Factors
Bacterial meningitis is more common in infancy and childhood. For adults the risk increases as you age. Other factors that increase your chance of getting bacterial meningitis include:
- Not having recommended vaccinations
- Community living arrangements, such as a college dormitory or military base.
- People in close and prolonged contact with patients with meningitis due to Hemophilus influenza B or Neisseria meningitidis
- Supressed immune system caused by certain health conditions or medications
- Penetrating head trauma
- Previous brain surgery, or cerebrospinal fluid shunts
- Birth defects, such as dermal sinus or meningomyelocele, a type of spina bifida
- A history of epidural steroid injections or other invasive spinal procedures
- Cochlear implants
- Smoking, or exposure to second-hand smoke
congenital dura defects such as dermal sinus or meningomyelocele
Classic symptoms can develop over several hours or may take one to two days:
- High fever
- Headache
- Very stiff, sore neck
Other symptoms may include:
- Red or purple skin rash
- Bluish skin color
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Sensitivity to bright lights
- Sleepiness
- Mental confusion
- Seizures
In newborns and infants, symptoms are hard to see. As a result, infants under three months old with a fever are often checked for meningitis. Symptoms in newborns and infants may include:
- Inactivity
- Unexplained high fever or any form of temperature instability, including a low body temperature
- Irritability
- Vomiting
- Jaundice (yellow skin color)
- Feeding poorly or refusing to eat
- Tightness or bulging of soft spots between skull bones
- Difficulty awakening
Complications of bacterial meningitis include:
- Sepsis (serious bodily reaction to infection)
- Shock (very low blood pressure)
- Seizures
- Brain swelling
- Hydrocephalus (build-up of fluid in the brain)
- Hearing loss
- Vision problems
- Paralysis
- Coma
- Death
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests—A complete blood count and c-reactive protein
- Lumbar puncture —removal of a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid to check for bacteria if intracranial pressure is not too high infections
- Cultures of blood, urine, mucous, and/or pus from skin
Imaging tests of the brain and spinal cord may be done with an MRI or CT scan .
More than 90% of all people with this infection survive with immediate care, including:
- Antibiotics and corticosteroids—often given together
- Fluids
Antibiotics are given through an IV. This is started as soon as the infection is suspected. The antibiotics may be changed once tests find the exact bacterial cause. Patients usually stay in the hospital until the fever has fallen and the fluid around the spine and the brain is clear of infection. This may require a hospital stay of several days.
These are usually given by IV early in treatment. but only for those caused by the Hemophilus influenza B or pneumococcal virus. They control brain pressure and swelling. They also reduce the body's production of inflammatory substances. This treatment can prevent further damage. Specifically it reduces the risk of hearing loss and neurological complications.
Fluid Replacement
Fluids can be lost due to fever, sweating, or vomiting. They may be replaced through an IV. It will be done carefully to avoid complications of fluid overloading.
Other Medications
Your doctor may also recommend:
- Pain medications
- Sedatives
- Anticonvulsants
- Medications to help reduce brain swelling
To help reduce your chance of getting bacterial meningitis, take these steps:
- If you have been exposed to meningitis or are a carrier, your doctor may recommend prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Find out the status of you and your families vaccinations. In particular:
- If you are a healthcare worker or have close contact with someone who is infected, take preventive antibiotics against Hemophilus influenza B and neisseria meningitidis .
- Buy pasteurized milk and milk products. This can prevent meningitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes .
- If you are pregnant, your doctor will monitor you to make sure the infection is not passed to your baby.

Carlsen takes down Caruana, moves to 2nd place in Bilbao
In today's 6th round of the Masters Final tournament leader Fabiano Caruana lost his first game. The Italian GM was ground down in an ending by Magnus Carlsen, who avoided theory and started his game with a Philidor set-up. The other two games, Karjakin-Aronian and Vallejo-Anand, ended in draws. Carlsen is now 2 points behind Caruana with four rounds to go.

The presentation of the players before the start of the round
After eight days of rest, and getting accustomed to the Central European time zone, the players continued the Masters Final tournament on Monday in Bilbao, Spain. Fabiano Caruana performed best in the surprisingly chilly weather in Sao Paulo and left Brazil's largest city with 11 points out of a possible 15. The world's highest rated players, Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen, followed with 7 and 6 points respectively. World Champion Vishy Anand drew all his games in Sao Paulo which got him 5 points, while Paco Vallejo and Sergey Karjakin took just 3 points with them to the Basque country.
Like in previous years the games are played in the Central Atrium of the Alhondiga Bilbao, in a soundproofed glass box with view to the public. This glass room measures 8x8m witdh, with a high of 3,5m and weighs 8 tons
The first game in round 6 ended rather quickly. In a Marshall Ruy Lopez Karjakin and Aronian reached an opposite-coloured bishop ending after about two hours of play, and a brief look at Chief Arbiter Anil Surender of Sweden was enough to legally shake hands two moves later. The Sofia Rule is in effect in Bilbao, but as we know, in many cases it doesn't have the desired effect.
The big moment in this game was of course Black's 20th move. Aronian:
I found this idea in Nalchik at one of th e Grand Prix tournaments, three years ago. I was very excited and couldn't wait to play it. I already lost hope, because it's a nice idea. Together with my second Gabriel Sargissian we guessed that in the first game everybody will take on d5 and it's basically a forced draw.
Karjakin in fact started his comment at the press conference (attended by many spectators) by apologizing for the short draw.
After such an interesting novelty it was very risky to take on f4 or to play something more ambitious. It was clear that Levon analyzed it deeply so therefore I decided to take on d5, but of course it's nothing.
Commentator Leontxo Garcia, who has always been a strong advocate of measures to stimulate fighting chess, asked whether there's a "solution" for games like this one. Aronian said:
I've always been rooting for Chess960 and hopefully during my career I will be able to play more of that.
Yes, it's a little bit too much. Sometimes you just want to play chess without my analysis but you cannot do it. I have two suggestions. First I completely agree with Levon, I also like Chess960. This is I think the future of the game, to play this at least in some tournaments. And, as was suggested before by other grandmasters, if we make a short draw, let's say in less than two hours, we can play one rapid game.
Somewhat later, but still just before the first time control, Vallejo and Anand also split the point - the 6th draw now for the World Champ. Vallejo said he expected Anand to play the Sicilian, and Anand said he didn't because he expected his opponent to expect that! The Spaniard's 18.e5 was a safe choice, but doesn't seem to offer White very much.
Vallejo and Anand talking about their game
Carlsen seemed determined from the start to avenge his unnecessary first round loss against Caruana. He played 2.d3 against the French, and then put his king's bishop on e2. Because Caruana played e6-e5 at an early stage this started to look like a Philidor with colours reversed.
Sometimes in order to create a fight you need to choose lines that aren't necessarily the most thoroughly analysed
said Carlsen after the game. The Norwegian managed to outplay the tournament leader little by little, profiting from only tiny inaccuracies. As one of our readers, a llife-long fan of the 12th World Champion, put it in a private message:
Carlsen is the new Karpov, but better. Karpov+ !
Carlsen himself said about the ending:
It's clear that it is favourable for White. The only question is whether Black can hold it or not.
I thought I should be able to hold the endgame. It doesn't seem like a losing position.

I am sorry for the double post but it takes ages before it s stands there, so you think it is not done and try agian.
1 year 6 months ago
It is true he is not an opening encyclopedia but he compensates with his endgame skills...like Capablanca used to. All he is looking for is the type of endgame he likes in order to start working out his opponent.
Being an opening encyclopedia allows him to play these kinds of openings.
If objection for its own sake was an art, I'd consider you a magician - it isn't though, haven't we all been there at some point? It does get boring after a while.
I cant wait until the 2013 candidates tourney and the next world championship match.
These exhibition tournaments featuring raw coffee house chess are a real bore at pro level.
The positrons, piece placement down right ugly. Look at C vs C after Qxf3... Homo Erectus,.
"These exhibition tournaments featuring raw coffee house chess are a real bore"
Yes, one is longing for more excitement like Anand-Gelfand instead of being forced to follow the Homo Erectus coffeehouse chess of Carlsen.
Come on guys, Anand is planning for the long term. Is it not obvious that he is hiding his preparation?
1 year 6 months ago
Anand said, some months ago, that he had problems getting motivated. I think this is showing his shape; unfortunately, I have to say, and is hard to disagree, that our World Champ is a bit boring to watch.
I understand that this doesn't have to do with his intentions, but he is in a situation that he can control anymore. He can't play the same attacking chess he used to play. How much time happened since then? I think the last couple of years, at least, Anand couldn't play attacking, interesting chess.
I believe his elo will be stable between 2760 and 2790. It's hard to imagine Anand getting 2800 again. It can happen, of course; but it won't be easy for him in this shape and with this kind of motivation when he has the pieces in front of him.
"Carlsen seemed determined from the start to avenge his unnecessary first round loss against Caruana. He played 2.d3 against the French, and then put his king's bishop on e2."
If this is determination from the start, what would be lack of determination? It worked out in the end, but to my taste these two sentences combined are a bit too glorifying ... . Yet another question is if there is such a thing as a 'necessary' loss.
By the standards of 20 or even 10 years ago those moves would have meant the player with white was not trying very hard to win, but, in an era where the Marshall Attack is a drawing weapon, what the author says makes sense - or at least isn't a contradiction.
In case you missed it, black (initially) played 1.-e6 rather than 1.-e5, and French mainlines aren't exactly considered drawing weapons. Later, putting the bishop on g2 might also be more "determined" - the King's Indian attack has basically the same idea or intention as the KID, to go for the opponent's king without much ado.
To me it seems that Carlsen "played for two results" avoiding risks (risks of entering mainline French theory - the first game with Caruana showed that he isn't too familiar with the French ...). Is this determination? Would anyone call it determination from anyone else but Carlsen?

i m wondering one thing, would Bobby Fisher teach some endgame techniques to Carlsen or not???
Very interesting game by Magnus and I would attribute his play more to natural genius than computers. He sees much of what Capablanca did so the comparision is quite natural imho.
Really enjoyed that Karjakin and Aronian both are longing for chess 960 I think Fischer was on to something.
1 year 6 months ago
Carlsen's opening play basically says the same thing. Three top players then - any other known opinions?
There is a difference in avoiding main lines and preparing a side line compared to chess 960 where you basically see an entirely new starting position.
Booked up guys like Leko have played a lot of 960chess in the past, as have Aronian, Svidler, and even Naka, but I can't recall a single event of Carlsen. Perhaps Karjakin played in Mainz once but he hasn't made a habit of it either.
So why dont they have more 960 tournaments? Is there one or more influential person/s opposing it?
It seems like such a reasonable idea. Perhaps it will put to waste many many hours of opening theory study, but it's not like they are replacing Chess with 960 altogether.
I think it's hard enough to find sponsors for standard chess - much less some "strange" chess variant that only chess insiders understand the motivation for.
Well it's the least strange of all chess variants I've known. In fact, every time I tried explaining it to someone, they are all for it immediately. It actually brings chess a little closer to the general masses who know the rules and play casually. The complications behind the quick theoretical draws and opening novelties in classical chess are only appreciated by a select few.
A simple formula exists to get back the desire to win. Anand should participate in unrated tournaments. Beating up weak players may spark something?
1 year 6 months ago
Anand is trying, Anand is not losing. Thats all I want to see in Anand. I don't want to see Anand risking and losing and giving dubious distinction of beating world champion to those would win in that case.
How about this one? I want to see many more invites for Anand in top tournaments to give other players a chance to beat him as they may not have a chance to play in a world championship match. Anyone who could not beat him should not be given a chance in the next tournament, instead new players be invited and given a chance!! Guaranteed invite for Anand!!
1 year 6 months ago
Carlsen is unbelievable! The way he can squeeze a point out of positions that many GMs would have left for a draw is impressive. He has a great capacity for great work in over-the-board play....great tenacity of effort.
1 year 6 months ago
Fabiano slowly selfdestructed in a slightly better position which he reached surprisingly fast - as black! Similar thing almost happened in his very first game, that french victory. He was practically winning after some 10-11 moves(!), and the only thing that saved his opponent from tactical miniature was probably Fab´s disbelief that so strong player can successfully reach busted position in less than a dozen of moves.
Anyway, Caruana is still solo leader with good chances to finish first, and he is young enough to learn fast on his mistakes.
I really wonder about this bunch of guys you find at Chessbomb, talking about Carlsen in every game of every tournament (also when he isn't playing), repeating the same tired stuff about how he is overrated, a cheater, a coward, etc, and how anyone ever appreciating one of his games is a hysterical fanboy.
I don't know that this type of obsession and hatred comes from, he's just a 21-year-old that is good at playing chess. Still in every game it is the same thing: his opponent has the better position and selfdestructs against the lucky Carlsen. That type of pure hate is just sad.
Didn't you show the same "hate" towards Leko after his win in London against Ivanchuk? If Leko wins such a game, he only won because the opponent blundered. If Carlsen wins a similar game, the opponent made a mistake because Magnus put him under tremendous pressure - hence the result was logical. This doesn't apply to his game against Caruana (it's hard to "find" Caruana's mistake[s]) but to some earlier examples.
I think "annotating by the players involved" is as much or more questionable than annotating by the result of the game.
"Didn't you show the same "hate" towards Leko after his win in London against Ivanchuk?"
Hardly, I'm not stating in every game year in year out that Leko is a coward and a cheater, is overrated, and that he never wins for any other reasons than that the opponent blunders in superior positions.
It's an entirely different thing when you state that Topalov wins because of gifts from his opponents (for example against Ivanchuk) and that this is a big difference compared to when Leko wins in the same way against the same opponent.
Of course I wouldn't know about chessbomb, but perhaps people don't call Leko a cheater cause he isn't one? I can't recall a single Carlsenesque incident of him be it with handshakes or lies about touching pieces and take backs.
Such differences might explain why some people call Carlsen a cheater and why others (like you) keep going on about the boring draws of Leko & Anand.
"Such differences might explain why some people call Carlsen a cheater and why others (like you) keep going on about the boring draws of Leko & Anand"
I wouldn't even bother following the games of Anand and Leko, they are just not interesting to me and I can't find any reason to follow all their games just to complain about them. If Anand played like he did five years ago I would certainly appreciate more than his chess of the last years though, and find it fun to follow his games.
The difference compared to the people who are obsessed with Carlsen is that they seem to think of him every day, comment on his chess in a derogatory way only during every event in spite of his winning most of them, and repeat in every game some irrelevant incident from a blitz game in the past, just because his playing chess well makes them feel so bad that it's almost unbearable.
"I wouldn't even bother following the games of Anand and Leko, they are just not interesting to me "
I didn't say you watch their games, I just said you like to complain about them. You of all people should understand there must be trolls at Carlsen's games as well. It's the internet st***d !
Leko is currently less in the spotlights, that's why people don't talk about him "every day" - but still in tournaments where he doesn't even participate, recently someone wrote here that "Anand is the new Leko".
Leko's games "are just not interesting to me" - hmm, Leko can grind out endgame wins just like Carlsen - but for whichever reason you made up your mind that Leko's games aren't interesting, or rather that Leko himself isn't interesting. Leko may have a lower 'success rate', and (in tournaments without Sofia rules) he is more willing to accept when a game is even and further efforts would be pointless, hence offering or accepting a draw.
"Leko's games "are just not interesting to me" - hmm, Leko can grind out endgame wins just like Carlsen - but for whichever reason you made up your mind that Leko's games aren't interesting, or rather that Leko himself isn't interesting"
I have certainly made my mind up that I in general find Leko's games less interesting than those of many other top players, so I prefer looking at games of other players rather than follow Leko around just to complain about how boring it is to do it and root for his opponents.
Leko drew ten of his eleven games in London and it's no surprise that four of his games from the tournament still don't have a single comment at chessgames.com. As a comparison I think all Caruana's games in the Grand Slam final have been very exciting. I'm not the least interested in how Leko or Carlsen are as persons though.
"four of his [Leko's] games from the tournament still don't have a single comment at chessgames.com."
Another redivivo statistic which is at best funny, but quite suggestive: Leko shares this "fate" with Topalov and Grischuk - uncommented games include the rather spectacular draw between Topalov and Grischuk and, dare I say it, Leko and Grischuk.

@redivivo: Totally agree. Those clowns who follow all of Carlsen's games only to criticize everything he does on and off the board, what a sorry bunch of losers they are. And it's not only Carlsen who has such "followers"; for instance Nakamura, Anand or Gelfand also have anti-fans endowed with the same type of personality disorder. Those jerks spend all their time criticizing the great player whom they have singled out to be the object of their hatred, bitching and whining and denigrating that player's achievments. Idiots!

Very impressed by Magnus' victory today, reminds me of my idols Capablanca and Karpov. And i really like the idea of 'let s just play chess'.
For all those commenting on anand, i must say being a huge fan of his lifelong, i m pretty dissapointed.
Fear of losing is the worst thing that can happen to a chess player, and that s what Anand is going through right now. He s not playing Chess anymore, WC after WC has made him into a a machine, just memorizing his home prep with seconds.... Last couple of years i have seen NO CREATIVITY from him over the board what so ever. His wins only come from opening preperation or opponents mistakes. I m saddened....maybe if anand lost his World Title next year...he ll lose this Prestige and fear of losing and play entertaining chess again.
Trying to find a similar setup as Carlsen chose in this game, it is surpisingly similar to italian opening with a subsequent d5 by black in both cases white ends up with a c3/ d3 center a rook on e1 the main difference being white bishop on f1 rather than b3/c2
I noticed that radja scored quite well with this setup in the italian, it looks innocuous but it s quite venomous actually
1) This idea of "let's just play chess" ain"t no new thing. The debate, pre-game prep vs thinking over the board, has been around since chess players could read and write books--opening encyclopedias, end game manuals etc.
Wasn't it Efim Geller who studied little, said he preferred doing his thinking over the board?
2) "His (Anand's) wins only come from opening prep or opponents mistakes". What is this? Baloney!!
Show me a won game where no mistake was made by the loser and I'll eat the score sheet.
And, what do you know about creativity?
The dis-respect you folks show Vishy is outta this world. Shame. Shame. Shame on you!

I am a (bad) chess player, and so I like to watch chess on the internet.
I am not a chess960 player, and so I am not interested in watching chess960 on the internet.

The idea of "let's just play chess" is the idea of "let's enjoy chess-ingenuity".
It is a healthy sign of chess that this idea is alive among some of our top-players.

Meet the Superintendent
On July 1, 2011, Erroll B. Davis, Jr. was appointed superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools, a system of 50,000 students and 6,000 employees with an annual operating budget of $578 million. Prior to this position, Davis served as chancellor of the University System of Georgia. As chancellor, he was responsible for the state's 35 public colleges and universities, approximately 302,000 students, 40,200 faculty and staff, and an annual budget of approximately $6.3 billion.
Davis took office as chancellor in early 2006. Previously, he had served as chairman of the board of Alliant Energy Corporation – an energy holding company with $8.3 billion in total assets and annual operating revenues of $3 billion at that time – since 2000. Davis joined Alliant in 1998 as president and chief executive officer. He retired from his dual roles as president and CEO in July 2005, and retained the chairman's post until his move to the university system.
Prior to the creation of Alliant Energy, Davis served as president and CEO of WPL Holdings from 1990 to 1998. From 1978 to 1990, he rose through the senior management ranks at Wisconsin Power and Light Company, starting as vice president of finance and ending as CEO and president.
Davis' higher education experience includes serving as a member of the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents from 1987 to 1994, and as a former chairman of the board of trustees of Carnegie Mellon University, of which he is a life member. A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Davis earned a bachelor of science in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1965, and an M.B.A. in finance from the University of Chicago in 1967. He is a member of the board of directors of General Motors and Union Pacific Corp., and serves on the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) board and on the advisory board of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) along with numerous professional associations and civic organizations. He is a former member of the U.S. Olympic Committee Board (2004-2008) and the University of Chicago Board of Trustees.
Davis and his wife, Elaine, established the Davis Family Foundation, which makes annual grants to numerous students in need. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including recognition as one of Georgia Trend magazine's "100 Most Influential Georgians," the Atlanta Business Chronicle's "100 Most Influential Atlantans," one of the "75 Most Powerful Blacks in Corporate America" by Black Enterprise magazine, one of the "Top 50 Blacks in Technology" at the Black Engineer of the Year 2005 Awards Conference and the Carnegie Mellon Alumni Distinguished Service Award in 2004. Davis also was named one of the "50 Most Powerful Black Executives in America" by Fortune magazine in 2002 and received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business in 1993, the same year he received a Bronze Medal in Financial World's "CEO of the Year" competition. In addition, Davis was honored by the magazine U.S. Black Engineer as the "Black Engineer of the Year" in 1988.

Buy followers on twitter = grow your followers quickly!
The days of "sitting and waiting for followers" are over. Simply having a twitter account and hoping for people to follow you is no longer viable. Also following and hopping they follow you back is an outdated method.
The only viable solution is to buy twitter followers if you want to achieve your marketing objectives and become a success on twitter.
Thanks to our award winning and trusted system, you are able to buy twitter followers safely and reach thousands almost quickly without even following. For added exposure, you can buy twitter followers, up to 100,000 of them, with a single click of a mouse.

Our affordable price rates make it possible for anyone on any kind of budget to buy twitter followers cheaply and order again and again. All orders are confidential and no one will ever know that you bought followers.
Plus, just because you buy Twitter followers, it doesn't mean that you won't begin to experience astronomically more growth in followers than you ordered. This is because, when you buy Twitter followers, you become connected not just to the followers we get for you, but also all of their followers and following. If you make your tweets really good, the chances are very high that they will be re-tweeted and influence non-purchased followers to follow your account.

Hi friends!
2014 is off to a great start! We have lots of fun things in the works for the year on the show and as of Sunday, I've been married for 3 months! 3 months down, a lifetime to go. Married life is great ... there's something really cool about promising to spend forever with your favorite person. :)
10 days ago I started Weight Watchers online. So far, I really like it because it's easy to track on the app ... but to be honest, I really havent, my routine hasn't really changed. I was already making good choices, so I'm hoping maybe the close attention will make the difference. I'll wait an entire month before posting any results because I want to give it a fair chance. So many of you tweeted me your success with the WW program, so I'm hoping to see the same. The one thing I NEED to do is step it up at the gym. It's just so hard to actually get there. I really need to drag my ass there before coming into work.
Speaking of making good choices, I found the best (GOOD FOR YOU) protein bars ever. Most protein bars are candy in disguise... but not these. Check out QUEST bars if you're looking for something sweet that's REALLY low in sugar, high in protein and fiber. You can thank me later. I've tried most of the flavors, chocolate peanut butter is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.
This weekend my 2 godchildren are coming for a visit. I'm so exicted! I have a fun filled weekend planned for them and will check in on twitter! If you have any ideas or MUST DO things with kids in Poconos - email me firstname.lastname@example.com!
Production of the book-turned-movie begins shooting in Vancouver on Dec. 2 and is set to be released on Valentine's Day, 2015.
So ... what do you think? Are they believable? Do they look like what you pictured while reading the books? I'm not sure i'm convinced.

Born from race technology heritage, the ultrawarm, well-fitted Armageddon is the official glove of the Marmot Freeride Ski Team. Marmot MemBrain® keeps moisture out while new, innovative Polartec® Thermal Pro® insulation traps heat inside while maintaining superior breathability. The glove is fully padded in high impact zones; outfinished seams on palm for unparalleled fit performance through gates or trees.
Look for this item to be back and available in the Fall.
Marmot Membrain™ lamination utilizes advance technology that balances the best in performance of breathability, waterproofness, and water repellency with excellent durability. With a minimum of 10, 000mm / 10,000mm performance it's guaranteed to keep you dry and comfortable in the worst of weather.
Marmot Membrain™ technology offers excellent weather protection with interior comfort. The hydrophilic nature of the PU lamination reduces internal condensation and increases comfort range by reducing the chilling effect caused by converting condensation build up back into vapor.
This 2 Layer Lamination combined with superior face fabrics, create a soft, quiet waterproof and breathability fabric with superior performance. With excellent breathability, and long term durable waterproofness this advance fabric technology brings a new level of performance to value conscious consumers.
Waterproofness: 10,000 mm minimum JIS-L 1092
Breathability: 10,000 gm / 24h minimum JIGS-1099 B1
Hohenstein RET: 6 to 8
Technology: 2 layer Hydrophilic PU Lamination
Polartec® Alpha® is a new state-of-the-art synthetic insulation that banishes the need for impervious down-proof fabrics by offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a "puffy" style garment.
Polartec® Alpha® is a new concept in synthetic insulation focused on unsurpassed thermo-regulation. Unlike conventional synthetic insulations Polartec® Alpha® is a knit material that offers excellent stability and superior durability without the need for scrims or tightly woven fiber proof lining fabrics.
Its unique knit structure allows for the use of highly breathable lining fabrics which permit body heat and moisture vapor to move through the insulation. This air permeability allows for warm air to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration creating a more even distribution of warmth with-in the garment.
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.

Why do we encourage proper care of our clothing and gear?
Because you have invested in (or are thinking about investing in) one of the most technically advanced pieces of apparel or equipment you'll ever own and we want to make sure you have the information you need to protect and care for your purchase.

Chandler Smith: SEC provides unparalleled platform
Published: Monday, May 7, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 23:07
Few words over the course of the 2011-12 school year resonated quite as powerfully as Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive's introduction to A&M as the SEC's 13th member.
The ecstasy that followed represented the Aggies' triumph in a two-year grudge match to free itself from the confines of the Big 12 and the shackles of marketing redundancies.
Arguably, no A&M administrative decision will have quite the seismic impact on the University since women were admitted in the early '60s. And while the thought of admitting women was met with disdain and reluctance by the long-time all-male military institution, the move to the SEC was embraced wholeheartedly by a vast majority of the student body and former students.
The attitude of A&M's passionate constituency regarding this conference switch shows Aggies have begun to welcome a concept they had been so fearful of before — change.
A&M, with its administration, former students and student body, has clearly shown the nation its willingness to rebrand and redefine itself on an unparalleled platform. Century-long rivalries with Texas and Baylor are being scrapped, football coaches are being replaced, facilities are being upgraded and athletic directors, even successful ones, are being questioned.
From a marketing standpoint, the move was a masterstroke of genius. According to the 2011 Nielsen ratings, SEC football had nearly 4.5 million viewers — more than one million more viewers than the second-place Big 10 conference and more than two million more viewers than the Big 12. Add the fact the Big 12 just inked a $2.6 billion television deal with ESPN, and there's no telling how much the SEC will make after adding the nation's third most populous market to its collection — the state of Texas.
Marketing, though, is but the first step. Then there is recruiting.
By offering the greatest level of competition — and, by no coincidence, the greatest level of exposure — recruits theoretically would be chomping at the bit to play in the SEC. With Texas being one of the nation's recruiting hotbeds, A&M's exclusive offer as an in-state SEC school has and will pay huge dividends. A Rivals top-15 football recruiting class added to a historically strong basketball class is but the tip of the iceberg of A&M's recruiting potential.
Finally, winning and reestablishing rivalries await. Bear Bryant connections exist with Kentucky and Alabama. Arkansas, a long-time SWC rival, should continue to be a memorable series. Most notably, the LSU rivalry has been on hiatus long enough. Cotton Bowl aside, the Aggies and Tigers haven't met on the gridiron since "Lectric" Leeland McElroy torched LSU in '95 — the last regular season game of one of college football's most heated hole-in-the-wall rivalries.
Without a doubt, it's an exciting time to be an Aggie. Welcome to the SEC.
Chandler Smith is a sophomore communication major and sports editor for The Battalion
