Thawing Fuel For Palin's Pipeline
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, November 13, 2008 4:20 PM PT
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Just a thought...If Obama is indeed such a shoe-in, especially in states like Wisconsin, why all the Obama radio and TV ads and mailings? Why the 30 minute infomercial?
On Mark Levin the other day, he discussed how Obama polled 5% higher during the primary than the actual vote tally. Dick Morris said Thursday night on Sean Hannity that unless Obama is above 48% in the polls, even if he is ahead of McCain, Dick didn't think Obama could win.
Another interesting turn on the road of politics. We just learned that Sen. Barack Obama's Aunt Zeituni lived in a Boston tenement.
Now we learn she isn't an American citizen: Obama has aunt living in US illegally:
Are you ready for this? "If elected president, the Illinois senator would require women to register for the military draft. As commander in chief, he would also consider assigning women to roles in close combat, also know as 'the point of the spear,'" according to World magazine:
"Women are already serving in combat [in Iraq and Afghanistan], and the current policy should be updated to reflect realities on the ground," Obama spokeswoman Wendy Morigi told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Oct. 13. "Barack Obama would consult with military commanders to review the constraints that remain."
It amazes me that the question is still out there: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be Vice President or God forbid, President? Considering Senator Barack Obama has so little experience and such questionable ideas and connections, the question is laughable.
In the race for the White House, Governors traditionally are hands down the favorite against Senators or Congressmen. Since Governors must prepare a budget, run their state, and are commanders of their National Guard, it is thought that their executive experience translates more completely to the presidency than experience in other branches of government.
President Bill Clinton was known as the Teflon president. No accusations or even cold, hard facts stuck. Monica Lewinsky was not a fabrication of a vast right-wing conspiracy as Hillary claimed. No, Monica was real. She was an intern with whom the President committed unprecedented indiscretions with right in the Oval Office. But it did not stick. He was Teflon.
President Bush on the other hand, according to the left, is responsible for all the ills of the world. No matter that he has kept us safe for 7 years, he is the fall guy for every ill there is: Hurricane Katrina, the housing crisis, global warming...you get the idea. He isn't responsible for it, but he is Velcro--everything sticks.
Germantown voters believe their new school won't cost anything?
Indian guy running for Wassermans seat, came with $5
I've been wondering about this for some time. Are some independents reluctant to voice support for John McCain because they don't want to take flack for supporting the Republicans? Democrats have incessantly talked against George Bush during this election cycle, as if they are running against him, even though George isn't running.
Amongst African Americans, I think
there is a Bradley effect. Remember J.T. Harris telling McCain that he
was taking a ...whipping for supporting McCain? J.T. continues to feel the heat.
The Investor's Business Daily poll isn't as hopeful for McCain today as it looked yesterday, but Obama still isn't 5% points ahead of McCain or above 50%. There are still 9.5% not sure. Are they really not sure or are they just not saying?
Obama's I'm against same-sex marriage but against ending it's practice via California's Proposition 8 rings about as true as Wisconsin State Senator Jim Sullivan saying, he is for Voter ID but not for a state constitutional amendment referendum question requiring Voter ID. It's doublespeak for I don't want the current situation to change, but don't want to be on the record as saying so.
Obama Says He is Against Same-Sex Marriage But Also Against Ending Its Practice In Calif.:
We are all growing weary of the campaign ads, but there is one ad I love to hear. It is Yash Wadhwa's radio ad for Wisconsin's 22nd Assembly district.
Well, today is the day. The day we go vote for president and our other government representatives*. How will you choose which one?
Will your choice be based on what the candidate promises to give and do for you? Or will the candidate's platform and character influence your choice?
At the last debate, John McCain stated his strong opposition to the horrible procedure, Partial Birth Abortion. Barack Obama, knowing his pro-abortion stance at the Saddleback Forum hurt him, must have decided that in a national venue such as a televised debate, he could not publicly support Partial Birth Abortion. So Obama said he was "completely supportive of a ban on late-term abortions, partial-birth or otherwise, as long as there's an exception for the mother's health and life..."
Well, today is the day. The day we go vote for president and our other government representatives*. How will you choose which one?
Will your choice be based on what the candidate promises to give and do for you? Or will the candidate's platform and character influence your choice?
Of course the BIG deal of the day is the presidential race and Electoral College count. Will Obama win big? McCain squeak by? Will we even know today or this week?
What will happen with the majorities in the House and Senate. It is difficult for me to understand how a Congress with the lowest approval rating can gain more seats for the party in power, but I have given up trying to understand people's irrational choices.
Democratic Senator Schumer Defends Fairness Doctrine, nov 4
It is difficult for me to square last night's election results with the fact that when polled, more people consider themselves conservatives than the 1 in 5 who say they are liberal. But the results are the results.
Senator Barack Obama won, but considering the amount of money he spent, it was not the huge landslide some expected in the popular vote.

Falsified registrations become votes, Nov. 2, 2008
Senator John McCain managed to get 56,494,802 votes, which translates to 46.4% of the total. That was 1.9% less than John Kerry received in 2004. Hardly the trouncing Bob Dole took in 1996 with his 40.71% of the vote or Carter's 41.0% in 1980 or Mondale's 40.6% in 1984.
Just for comparison purposes, President Bill Clinton never broke the 50% mark--receiving 43.0% in 1992 (Ross Perot was the spoiler) and only 49.24% in 1996.
Republican party wrangling Jealousy?
Palin caused McCain to go up in polls. It was pretty obvious that she solidified the base. Could even McCain's ego take that? It seemed that was the case during the campaign, but maybe not.
Well, it is a fine time to be asking that question...you just moved heaven and earth to elect him.

We used to go to Walt Disney World during the off season period following spring break. It was great. The weather warm, but not hot and the crowds light. Our American accents were in the minority however, being surrounded by Brits and Aussies. Because of the lower dollar, foreign travelers flocked to our shores for holiday. Same holds true in the National Parks, a destination for foreign travelers.
But when the airlines started raising prices because of higher fuel prices, flying to America for a 2 week vacation became less attractive.

It has become a family tradition to attended the Waukesha Republican's "Victory" party at the Country Springs Hotel. Various local candidates stop in and give a pep talk along with Waukesha Republican leaders. This year most of us hoped for good news but were braced for the bad.
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner addressed the crowd first. He quipped something to the effect that after 8 years of Democrats blaming President Bush for everything, with them in charge of the legislature and the White House, we'll be able to pin the tail on the donkey. (Donkey being the symbol for democratic party.)
Ronald Reagan made this speech at a Barry Goldwater campaign event. It is about 27 minutes long, but well worth the time.
Adjusted to today's dollar, the amount of money spent in 1929 for Federal government spending equaled 13 cents per dollar earned. In 2007 that government spending ballooned to 43 cents per dollar earned. Under a President Obama, no doubt we will top that.
Do you still have green tomatoes sitting on your kitchen counter? I do. (I treasure every one.)
Some of them ripen nicely; some of them ripen sort-of; some of them never quite make it. The ones that ripen nicely I save for adding to a tossed salad or making BLTs. The tomatoes that ripen but are less than perfect, I have been making this colorful and tasty marinated tomato & pepper salad with. (The duds sometimes find their way into a pot of chili.)

Governor Sarah Palin gets to bask in some sunshine at The Republican Governors Association conference this week: Palin still center stage:
Gov. Palin is set to be a featured speaker at a panel discussion entitled, "Looking Toward the Future." Other featured speakers expected to partake on the panel are General Tommy Franks, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), Bill Kristol, Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), and Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC). (Try to count on one hand how many of those folks have 2012 circled on their calendars.)
Obamas first priority exec offshore order etc.
On election eve, I quickly made this campaign button to illustrate my hopes for the 2012 ticket. I wore it to the Waukesha Republican Victory Party.
Barely there 2 minutes, a few women from the Waukesha Republican Party and I started talking. Are you part of the Republican Women's group, they asked? No, I said, although I did work a little on the last 2 campaigns. Why not? I explained it was because Republicans didn't support conservative candidates. Citing Republican State Senator Tom Reynold's 2006 race and the lack of support from the party, I said I now put my efforts into individual races instead of the GOP as a whole. They did not disagree.

http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2008/cyb20081111.asp#1 Time: Obama a 'Pricne' Like Jesus Born of 'Imagination and Hope'
Warning its readers to "be prepared to gag," the "Scrapbook" page of this week's Weekly Standard magazine recited "some of the worst over-the-top reactions to The One's ascendance," starting with Time's Nancy Gibbs who opened this week's cover story by comparing Obama with Jesus: "Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope..." In the November 17 issue, she heralded (citing his full name) the greater meaning of Obama's victory: "Barack Hussein Obama did not win because of the color of his skin. Nor did he win in spite of it. He won because at a very dangerous moment in the life of a still young country, more people than have ever spoken before came together to try to save it. And that was a victory all its own."
When I first heard about that McCain insider who told tales out of school about Sarah Palin, I immediately thought those criticisms smacked of sour grapes and jealousy. Imagine a true McCain, cross the isle, centrist campaign worker now having to help the novice, but igniter of the conservative base upstart. No matter that she was happily minding her own business in Alaska when she got the tap for VP. She clearly energized the McCain campaign, and that can create jealousy.
One of the more scathing comments was that Palin did not know Africa was a continent. I immediately thought, well, 52% of Americans just elected a president who does not know America has 50, not 57 states or that Pakistan is an ally. Besides that, it could just be a slip of the tongue--much like we say Iran when meaning Iraq. We know the difference but misstate it.
After two straight electoral defeats, it is time for a substantial party shake-up. We don't need a feather duster; we need a fire hose.

The voters may be full of hope about the looming Obama Presidency, but so far investors aren't. No President-elect in the postwar era has been greeted with a more audible hiss from Wall Street. The Dow has lost 1,342 points, or about 14%, since the election, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting similar skids. The Dow fell another 4.7% yesterday.

In the month and a half since passage, the stock market continues to head downward. More companies, states, and cities are lining up with their hands extended for bailout cash. Every week it seems the bailout bill morphs into something other than its original purpose: (My emphasis throughout.)

Homeschool kids "demented?"
The right to homeschool in the United States has been a long, hard fought battle. In many countries, it is still illegal. The public perception of homschooling is rather two-faced: People know homeschoolers on average outscore private and government school children on standardized testing*, but they still view the parents and students with skepticism.

But there is one place where they meet and that is on the City's property tax bill. The property tax bill includes the school district's levy. It also included the Property Tax Levy Credit from the state. (I just learned a little about that at that at the district meeting about state funding and class sizes.)

My dad was just 11 when the stock market crashed on Black Thursday. He quit school to go to work at a bakery at age 13. The pay was not much, but he could take home old bakery and the rejects. Later on he worked for Kroger grocery stores in the produce department. Again, terrible pay. The bennies were he could take home the unsellable produce. What the family couldn't eat by cutting off the bad parts went to feed the few milk cows and pigs on the farm. (Beets and peas yielded sweeter milk. Don't feed a dairy cow onions!)

Salmon, Atlantic – Europe (Sake, Ikura)
Atlantic Salmon is an anadromous species, meaning it migrates from freshwaters to ocean waters to feed and then back to freshwaters to spawn. It is found throughout the North Atlantic, but there are over 1,500 distinct Atlantic Salmon river populations that exhibit high variability in many life history traits.
Most fishing for Atlantic Salmon occurs in coastal and river waters of European countries, with Norway and Scotland accounting for the highest catch. The North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization has helped to substantially reduce fishing exploitation on Atlantic salmon populations. However, abundance of Atlantic Salmon has continued to decline over the last of couple decades, and many European river populations are below the spawning biomass levels required for sustainability.
Atlantic Salmon are caught with a wide range of gears, including fixed trap nets and seine nets, which may cause some habitat damage, and by anglers using rod and line. Bycatch levels in Atlantic Salmon fisheries are unknown.

Awesome product. By Steve on 2/5/14Steve would recommend this product to a friendI have been using this system almost two years without one problem. I remember it being easy to install and well made for the price point. I use it to supply RO water to the refrigerator and RO/DI water for the nano tank. I use about 50 gallons a month with zero change to output or water quality over the last two years. The best part, it paid for itself because the refrigerator filter costs about $60 and lasted 6 months but now the water is so clean it never clogs ups...
where has this been all my life! By Daina on 1/26/14Daina would recommend this product to a friendDon't wait another minute! Just buy it! This installed easily even if you have never installed anything like this, like me. The parts are so simple and in labeled baggies so that you can keep them straight. It has instructions that are clear and easy to read, and are formatted in a stepwise fashion. There is a helpful numbered diagram to help if you get lost. If you only use the water from your RO/DI units to provide high quality water for your aquarium inhabitants, you should definitely upgrade and get the drinking water storage tank with faucet so that you can also benefit!!! It tastes great! If you are worried about the noise from the other reviews, don't. It is pretty significant that first hour while flushing the membrane, but barely audible while the tank is filling. You only have to flush the membrane occasionally so I wouldn't worry. Even so the noise is brief and much shorter/less noisy than that of a dishwasher or some other appliance in your kitchen. This is the best tasting water, easily installed, and a great value, PLUS you can be assured that your aquarium inhabitants will be healthier!
Nice to have for you and your fish By Tanner on 1/13/14Tanner would recommend this product to a friendThe RO/DI filter and faucet was a breeze to install and works great. It is nice having the TDS meter to be able to see how efficiently the filters are working. The water tastes great coming out of the RO portion and the pressure out of the reserve tank is very nice. The TDS meter shows 0 TDS coming out of the DI filter. Aside from the convenience of being able to mix your on saltwater and always having fresh on hand, buying the drinking combo is a nice way to help justify the purchase, especially if you have a smaller tank. All the parts required were included and I would definitely recommend buying this product.
Awesome Product By Scott on 1/5/14Scott would recommend this product to a friendWe've been running this system for just over 8 months now, and all I can say is wow. The drinking water has been fantastic (no more lugging gallon jugs). And the DI water for my reef tanks has made a huge difference. Love this system and BRS.
The best! By Richard on 11/15/13Richard would recommend this product to a friendThe best thing I've purchased for my tank. Not to mention we are loving the drinking water. Delicious! Another justification for paying the price.
Excellent Product -couldn't be happier By Tommy on 10/31/13Tommy would recommend this product to a friendThis system was exactly what I was looking for. I recently purchased a large aquarium and decided to invest in an RO/DI unit so I could make my own quality water. The tap water where I live is horrid and tastes awful. So I decided to try this combo unit so I could use it for drinking water and aquarium water. I honestly didn't think the drinking water would taste differently but it does. The water tastes better than any bottled water I've had. No more cases of water bottles and no trips to my LFS for water changes. This system is worth the investment.
AWESOME!!! By Megan on 10/18/13Megan would recommend this product to a friendThis system is well built and easy to use :-) Big plus is the water taste AMAZING!!! I am on well water right now.
Works good By Kristie on 7/3/13Kristie would recommend this product to a friendEasy to hook up, came with all parts
Great Bang For the Buck! By RobertG on 6/24/13RobertG would recommend this product to a friendI bought this after looking for a usable RO unit for family and my reef. I am sold on RO water for consumption but the DI part puts it over the top! The TDS meter is awesome as well as the PSI gauge. Took about a couple of hours to put it under the sink and was good to go overnight.
Great Unit By bonafide reefer on 6/12/13bonafide reefer would recommend this product to a friendI'm very pleased! Great instructions I do recommend this kit. The pressure gauge and TDS meter is great i don't understand why you would buy a RO/DI unit with out them.
Great system! Easy install! By Greg on 6/4/13Greg would recommend this product to a friendI had this unit up and running in about 30 minutes. Works perfectly! My first upgrade will be the 150 GPD upgrade kit.
Must Have By allan on 4/4/13allan would recommend this product to a friendThis item is a must have. Very easy to install and only took about 20 minutes. My water pressure was a little low so I also bought and installed the booster pump from BRS and now this thing really rocks!!! Money well spent.

Ask a Question About 'BRS 5 Stage Drinking & Reef PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD'
Previously Asked Questions
by Nicholas on October 11, 2013, @3:07 PM
Hi there,
I have a BRS 5 Stage Drinking & Reef PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD. I need to replace the DI media, as the color has changed to brown and I'm getting dissolved solids. What do I need to purchase for this unit?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Nicholas,
This would be what your looking for, the single 1.25lb bag would refill your DI cartridge.
by Jen on November 29, 2013, @9:50 AM
Will this system remove chloramines?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jen,
The filters in the systems aren't optimized for chloramine removal. If you know you have chloramines in the water then you could either do a build your own RO/DI system or you could use any of our 5 stage units and get the chloramine upgrade kit linked below.
by Chirs on January 24, 2014, @6:07 AM
I would like this system to perform three functions, with the third being to provide water for my fridge ice maker. I see that this system requires and air gap faucet. Will I require an air gap connector to go to my fridge? Also, my system will be established in my basement. Will the pressurized tank be sufficient enough to go up a floor to my faucet or should the tank be mounted under my sink?
Thanks allot!
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Chris,
The air gap faucet goes on the waste line is there to provide an anti-siphon mechanism to prevent the possibility of sewer water backing up into the unit. You could utilize a different air gap mechanism (doesn't have to be a faucet) as well. Building code varies from local to local, but you might even be able to drain to a floor drain as long as you maintain a certain distance from the floor. The closer the tank is to the fridge the better it will work, I would highly advise a permeate pump as many fridges may require more pressure then your likely to get out of the tank.
by Thomas on January 29, 2014, @9:39 PM
Should the pressure gauge measure at 50+ psi when I'm dispensing water or when the water dispenser valve is closed?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Thomas,
You want to measure the pressure while the unit is producing water (filling the storage tank, making water for your tank, etc) and your ideally looking for atleast 50psi while that is happening.
by gm0neyl0ve on November 11, 2013, @5:08 PM
Can I get this with a non air gap faucet?
Bulk Reef Supply It is not possible to get it with a non air gap faucet, though you could bypass the waste water going to the air gap faucet with a simple 3/8 to 1/4" push connect union. Just keep in mind that not using the air gap also bypasses all the safety features that the air gap faucet is there for!

Gelfand beats Anand in 7th World Championship game (VIDEO)
Boris Gelfand took the lead in the World Championship match in Moscow, Russia on Sunday by beating Viswanathan Anand in 38 moves. Again a Chebanenko Semi-Slav came on the board and in his 4th white game, the challenger was again the first to deviate, going for 6.c5 instead of 6.b3 (games 2 and 4) or 6.Qc2 (game 6). Black kept struggling with a bad light-squared bishop throughout the game, and at move 38 Anand resigned. It was the first time since 1993 that Gelfand won a classical game against Anand.
As Anand resigns, Gelfand wins first match game | Photo by Alexey Yushenkov
Anand and Gelfand shake hands at the start of the first game that wouldn't end in a draw
Even members of the Anand team showed signs of relief on Sunday afternoon as the "draw ban" had been broken, despite the fact that it was their man who had lost. These members, as well as all other Anand fans, might want to remember 1995, when it was Garry Kasparov who lost the first game after eight draws, but won that World Championship match convincingly anyway (against... Anand).
On this Sunday we got to see Boris Gelfand at his best: from the opening he got a slight, strategic advantage which he never really let go of. At the same time we didn't get to see Vishy Anand at his best: from a slightly passive position, this time he didn't defend accurately, as he had done in his previous black games. "I started to drift a little bit after the opening," he admitted afterwards.
Anand didn't hide his disappointment at the press conference
The World Champ gave his opponent too much time to build up, and after another inaccuracy, suddenly there was no way back. White exchanged all of Black's active pieces (including the queens), and focused on that one problem Black couldn't solve from the start: his light-squared bishop. Ironically, it was this bishop that was eventually trapped, and with accurate play Gelfand decided the game on move 38.
Boris Gelfand grabs the lead, and needs 2.5 points out of 5 games to become World Champion
At the press conference, Gelfand avoided speaking about emotions, and instead preferred to describe the game in his usual, objective way. Anand limited himself to short, sometimes one-word answers, underlining deep disappointment on his side.
After Anand's loss today and Nakamura's win in Saint Louis yesterday, the top 10 of the live ratings looks as follows:
- Carlsen (2835.0)
- Aronian (2823.2)
- Kramnik (2802.8)
- Radjabov (2784.0)
- Nakamura (2782.6)
- Anand (2779.7)
- Karjakin (2779.0)
- Caruana (2772.0)
- Morozevich (2769.0)
- Ivanchuk (2767.4)
The importance of (live) ratings shouldn't be overrated of course, but still it is hard to believe that Vishy Anand, one of the strongest players that ever lived, is now out of the world's top 5...
The score is 4.0-3.0 for Gelfand. On Monday game 8 will be played, of a total of 12 games. Venue is the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. The winner will receive US $1.5 million, while the loser will earn US $1 million.
Match score
Struggle? You're kidding me, right. Up until this game I've seen more fighting spirit in a kindergarten.
1 year 11 months ago
Horrid play by Anand. Gelfand's opening prep was very good, but he was more the benficiary of Anand's total collaps,e and at turns Boris himself was far from exact. It is not half points versus full points that are the issue in this match, but lackluster play markedly below the best available today. This games showed it.

Scared face of Anand in the beginning
Press conference Anand not speaking
1 year 11 months ago
I have never seen Anand so unfriendly and annoyed as at this press conference. He is seriously pissed off. Tomorrow will be a massacre...
1 year 11 months ago
That is his true nature. So far, he was pretending because he won the previous matches=
Anand won't win a single game. He's busted. As Bobby Fischer might have written of 21...Ne4 is Gsme Seven: "A lemon'. I don't think I've ever seen a world champion play such insipid chess.
I had to come back and kiss the ring. You were right on both accounts. After reading your post I went and watched the video and have never seen Anand that annoyed. And today.. Anand wins. Nice.
1 year 11 months ago
Most chess world champions do not retire when they lose. Not counting Fischer's descent into madness, only Kasparov quit when he could not play at the WC level anymore. The rest of the WCs played on and on and on, into their 60s, 70s and more, as their rating painfully dropped away. They love chess more than some fake idea of pride.
Fisher was not mad, he was a genius. But its almost the same.
"only Kasparov quit when he could not play at the WC level anymore"
That's an odd statement seeing as Kasparov was still clearly the best player in the world when he quit.
Sorry, but he was not the best player in the world when he quit.
What are you talking about? He was not only highest rated but he announced his retirement immediately after finishing 1st in a tournament.
Are you crazy? He'd just won Linares and was still the world's highest rated player. Just because he couldn't crack the Berlin . . .
No, I'm not crazy. Kasparov knew that Anand, Kramnik, Topalov and probably Gelfand (oh, congrat's Gelfy on your win yesterday) had his number. They all had equal access to the data bases and chess programs of the day. Dirty Garry was dead meat. He knew it and so he quit.
1 year 11 months ago
Gelfand had Kasparov's number?
Did Gelfand "suddenly" do everything right in terms of match strategy: always going for += positions with white and testing Anand in various sublines of this Chebanenko semi-Slav?
A rhetoric question, the answer will be known when the match is over.
An interesting moment was Gelfand's 16th move: engines and (independently or not) Naiditsch on Chessbomb wanted to play 16.Bxf6 - Naiditsch predicted another short draw after Gelfand's 16.Bg3. But Leko on the official site considered Bxf6 a bad choice (leading to a dream position for black - maybe Leko has a deeper understanding, particularly, of that type of positions?
1 year 11 months ago
Leko, deprived of deep computer assistance, was forced to think like a GM. You know, use his strategical insight, feelings, intuition. He's one of the best strategical players as well.
Naiditsch is more AI-dependent. Unfortunately, the AI is not all that strong in early complex positions, unless you allow it to run for very long times.
16th move was a wonderful example of the difference between what a computer predicts and what is relevant for human-human play.
Two things may also play a role:
1) Naiditsch wrote what people want to read - after all these draws it makes "sense" to predict yet another one.
2) It's a matter of personal style: Naiditsch himself isn't particularly known for converting small advantages (though he can do it in case of opportunity and need), while such an approach is vintage Leko.
I do not blame Naiditsch for being wrong (which we do not even know for sure), but I do criticize him for categoric statements supposedly (that's of course my impression) aimed at pleasing the crowd.
1 year 11 months ago
Leko was an absolutely fabulous commentator. I was lucky enough to watch almost all of it.
Totally agreed! I enjoyed the lines he showed, strategical details he explained! Plus he shared his own experiences with these guys. Also it was funny to hear him talking about his draws:) But Karpov stayed so short amount of time with them!!
Exactly! Also his english is superb. And he worked extremely well with the dutchman, Dirk Jan. A great team.
I didn't expect much from Karpov. He's outta touch.
Leko was excellent in both analysis and presentation. Karpov analysis was great too. The game of today suited them both.
1 year 11 months ago
Could not agree more!! What a fantastic commentary; and such a contrast w clueless ones like Timman earlier! Cant wait to see him back tomorrow
Anand may play sharp, double edge games with both colors. The current strategy does not work.
1 year 11 months ago
And after some punches the crowd is rewarded with some blood! They were thirsty like vampires!...
Gelfand won!! That is a shocking news to Gelfand himself. I don't thing he will bear such a result. I expect in the next few matches he will lose himself.
But I must say well done Gelfand, it is very obvious that you worked very hard and I'm really wishing you all the best.
To insist as black on an opening line on a computerized assisted classical match is suicide...or lack of confidence in his human strength or actual form...
I'm sorry you cannot understand what my words imply...Do you like play chess..?
You said: 'To insist as black on an opening line on a computerized assisted classical match is suicide...or lack of confidence in his human strength or actual form...'
All these GMs have computer assistance, that's why your comment did not make sense for me.

Good pump, not a work horse By spankme on 3/31/14spankme wouldn't recommend this product to a friendA little underpowered for what I wanted it for- water changes. It works great to drop in a bucket and let it run to dissolve the salt, but won't overcome a head of 20 inches.... I should have spent a little more but I wasn't looking for the higher flowrates.
Small size and small flow By Adam on 2/21/14Adam would recommend this product to a friendI should have picked up a larger model but if you are looking for small form factor this is your guy. Can't fault the product for my purchasing decisions.
Worked well for about a month then stopped working. By PhoenixOne on 1/29/14PhoenixOne wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI brought 3 of these pumps(1 from another vendor). One I used immediately and the other 2 I saved as a backup. One failed after about a month of use. I checked the impeller, checked the cable, checked the outlet. I visually saw nothing wrong. I used one of the backup 300 pumps and a little less than a month later, it also failed. Again I checked the pump and nothing visually wrong with it. It just stopped working. And last, I started using the 2 backup and it also failed after 2 weeks. I have an Ehiem 600 and Ehiem 1260 and they're still working with no problems.
awesome little pump! By Matthew on 2/2/12Matthew would recommend this product to a friendThese are so awesome, I have two of them. One is for flow in my 10G quarantine and to help agitate the surface.
The other is used to drain water from my sump for water changes. It is able to get up the 14" (head height) to pump out and over and then through my wall and down the drain. Very reliable and decent flow.
Perfect mixer By Carveth on 12/2/11Carveth would recommend this product to a friendMy experience with Ehiem is they are quality. I bought this one for I wanted a low flow pump to put in my saltwater replacement tank to keep it mixed up. I just wanted it to keep it stirred up and not the blast of a regular power head.
Power Sipper By Brian on 9/20/11Brian would recommend this product to a friendI needed a pump to circulate my salt water mixing tank, which is a 55 gallon drum. There are several options. This pump is my favorite because it delivers Eheim quality with a phenomenal power impact. Only 4 Watts! You'd think it was LED powered with such a small footprint. It's important to me to minimize my power bill while choosing quality components. Eheim pumps fit the bill on both quality and responsible power use. Other well known brands use as much as twice the power which runs up the cost over 3 years by a staggering amount.

Waiting for bodies, Bophut Beach, Ko Samui, Thailand
Waiting for bodies, Bophut Beach, Ko Samui, Thailand
Taken on: 10th September, 2011. Copyright: All Rights Reserved - See travelfishery's page of Flickr
Read more about Ko Samui
Back in the days when backpackers to Southeast Asia were first discovering Ko Samui in the 1970s, a basic thatched hut with running water and electricity was considered luxury. Now Ko Samui is home to some of Thailand's best luxury resorts and in the popularity stakes is surpassed only by Phuket.
With an international airport, a mass of ferry connections and close to 500 hotels and guesthouses, this is not somewhere to come to glimpse a corner of the Thai kingdom untouched by tourism development. One good thing about tourism development on the island is the written law that no building may be taller than the nearest coconut palm; this means that, unlike Phuket, tall apartment blocks and hotels do not ruin the skyline. The highest building is about four ... Read our complete Ko Samui travel guide

Beachy hair isn't just for the beach. Learn how to achieve the look with help from Coby Alcantar at Whittemore House salon in New York City.

Sorry, wallets everywhere. You're about to get a lot thinner.
SuChin Pak's latest Currently Coveting video is money: three gadgets that usher in spring-cleaning and organization. (Who doesn't want a robot that mops the floor?)
The video's part of our weekly series in which SuChin highlights a trio of goods she — and probably you — can't live without. In case you missed the others, check out her favorite green beauty products, items that keep life cheerful through the winter, and gifts for significant others.
We launch a new installment every Tuesday. Next up: spring's best outfit.
Good buy, Benjamins.
Want more? Check out SuChin's YouTube playlist for her top videos across the Web.
In this installment, SuChin Pak shares three items that'll get you through the final days of winter: a sweater that's half party/half relaxing at home, a dress so bright you have to wear shades, and bath melts you can make in your kitchen.
For more of Pak's obsessions, check out her favorite videos on our YouTube channel. To get the items for this week, go to rachelcomey.com, facebook.com/jillaikoyeedesigns, and tibi.com.
In the second installment of our new weekly series, SuChin Pak dishes about three gifts you should buy for yourself (or someone else, if that's your thing) on Valentine's Day.
For more of Pak's obsessions, check out her favorite videos on our YouTube channel. To purchase the items for this week, go to estatejewelsbygr.com, printstagr.am, and macaronparlour.com.
Since it's almost V-Day, we have a confession: We've had a crush on model Coco Rocha ever since she did an Irish jig down the catwalk at John Paul Gaultier in 2007.
Now that the 24-year-old is a mentor (alongside Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova) on Oxygen's new model competition show, The Face, we thought it time to act. She's the subject of our first-ever Five Questions with SuChin Pak video series.
From her first kiss (the answer to which will shock you) to what she'd be doing if she weren't modeling, Rocha gets deep for our chief correspondent. And, yes, she's as pretty and porcelain looking in person as on TV.
Our feelings only grow stronger.
The Face premieres tomorrow night at 9 p.m. EST. For more information, go to the-face.oxygen.com. Want more Pak? Here are her current obsessions.
Our woman about town, SuChin Pak, likes things. Lots of things. And in this new series, she's showcasing three of them each week. They could range from a YouTube video on foot massage (that's right) to her favorite outfit at that moment. Check back every Tuesday for a new video.
To check out Pak's picks, go to the-gypsy-wagon.com, coyuchi.com, and youtube.com.
Usually, when we film an In the Kitchen video, the purpose is to teach viewers to re-create a recipe.
But during our shoot with Eddie Huang, chef at Baohaus in Manhattan, five minutes into making his pork bao he said, "Honestly, people can't do this. If you want to do that, try Momofuku."
Which sums up what drew us to Huang in the first place: His memoir, Fresh Off the Boat, out now. Huang, whose parents are Taiwanese, grew up in Orlando, moved to NYC, and became a lawyer, a hustler, a stand-up, and a restaurateur.
The book's appeal is Huang's honest, funny description of his experience growing up Asian-American, and finding both solace and strife in his Chinese heritage. We promise it's like nothing you've ever read.
Like his baos, he's inimitable.
Fresh Off the Boat is available at amazon.com, $14.
There's no place like home for the holidays. Unless it's someone else's massive Manhattan townhouse, replete with a huge Christmas tree and 4-year-old twins singing "Jingle Bells." (Yeah, we'll take that.)
It belongs to Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti. In today's Inside Story, she gives us a tour of the space she shares with husband Austin Hearst and daughters Olivia and Mia.
The house is currently decorated for the season, but evidence of Perezutti's upbringing on a cattle ranch in Uruguay remains. We especially love the black and white photos of her mom on horseback.
They make us happy in a million ways.
For more information on Candela, go to candelanyc.com.
Two truths and a lie about New York designer/boutique owner Michele Varian: 1. She's one-third of triplets. 2. She was born on Christmas Day. 3. She's married to Crash Test Dummies lead singer Brad Roberts.
Okay, they're all true. Sue us. Then watch today's Inside Story video, in which we tour Varian's Soho loft.
The vintage-inspired space is filled with knickknacks from her worldly travels, instruments used by her husband to compose, and — the good news — items you can buy from her store.
Every nook is filled with something eye-catching, to the point it almost feels like you're on a movie set (say, Hugo mixed with The Royal Tenenbaums).
But we all know fact is better than fiction.
To shop Varian's store, go to michelevarian.com. For more Inside Stories, check out designer Heidi Merrick's Silver Lake bungalow, actress Mindy Kaling's closet, and designer Rebecca Minkoff's light-filled loft.
Before we bring you today's regularly scheduled content, we want to mention our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. To make a financial donation to help with disaster relief, go to redcross.org.
The appeal of dressing up as Honey Boo Boo tomorrow night is obvious (but you'd have to eat Cheetos the entire time to be realistic).
To get the necessary props, you'd need to elbow through the nightmarish Halloween store crowds and spend a Benjamin on wigs and boas.
Instead we've assembled ten costumes you can make with stuff around the house — from Fifty Shades of Grey and Ermahgerd Gersberms to something we're calling "Gingham Style."
None of them requires you to chug go-go juice (sorry).
But you'll still be the queeeeeeeen.
Check out our videos from Halloweens past to see how to dress up like Shark Week or a Kraft Single (yeah, that's right).
There are celebs, and there are celebs.
In today's video, we meet up with our favorite member of the latter: Uggie, a.k.a. star of The Artist, who takes time out of his busy A-lister schedule to show us how to do everything.
From spicing up your marriage to avoiding your landlord, he's been there, done that. For further proof, check out his eponymous new autobiography (that's right), Uggie.
And to answer your questions: Is he humble despite his millions? Yes. Is he shorter in person? Maybe just a little. Is he really a toddler dressed in a canine costume?
We didn't get that kind of access.
Uggie is available at amazon.com, $10. For more gratuitous animal footage, check out our videos on turning your dog into a painter and giving a canine massage.
The last thing we taught ourselves was the "Gangnam Style" dance. Someone thought it was the MC Hammer (so you can imagine how good it was).
New Yorker Rachel Brown, on the other hand, taught herself to sing and play guitar during her junior year at Harvard. Now three years later, Wyclef regularly joins her onstage and she's opened for John Legend.
For today's video, we invited her to our office to perform the cheerful "Bumblebee," accompanied by a six-person band (before you ask, that crazy thing is called a kora).
The hype is justified. Notice she's even picked up the ukulele.
Can't touch that.
Brown's debut album, Building Castles, is available at itunes.com. To see more performances, check out our sit-downs with Christina Courtin, Karen Elson, Freelance Whales, and Eliza Doolittle.
You've put one too many birds on it (thanks, Portlandia). What's next?
Flowers, as inspired by the micro florals on the fall 2012 runways at Suno, Paul & Joe, and Band of Outsiders, to name a few. In today's Easy Does It video, we asked L.A.-based DIY expert Kate Albrecht (a.k.a. the beautiful Mr. Kate) to show us how.
All you'll need is fabric paint (in four or five fall-ish colors), a fabric pen, tinfoil, and a surface in need of sprucing up. We did shirts in the video, but feel free to use totes, pillowcases, etc.
We'd never want you to feel pigeonholed.
For more DIY ideas or info on Mr. Kate, go to mrkate.com.
Darlene and Lizzy Okpo regularly respond to emails at 5:30 a.m.
The Bronx-born and -raised sisters behind clothing line William Okpo (named for their father) are readying their first-ever solo presentation for New York Fashion Week, and sleep is not in the cards.
In today's Inside Story video, we catch up with the women during preparations. They show us around their Brooklyn apartment/studio (where the living room floor subs as a pattern-making table), let us peek at mood boards for the upcoming collection, and tell us how it all came to be.
As if they aren't already inspiring enough, Darlene and Lizzy are just 25 and 22, respectively.
Which might further explain why their sleep habits resemble those of babies.
For more information, go to williamokpo.com. To place a custom order (before the line hits Opening Ceremony in October), email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Los Angeles is full of secrets, from who's gone under the knife (everyone) to what really happened that fateful night (which one? Exactly.).
Tinseltown designer Heidi Merrick has nothing to hide. For today's Inside Story, she lets our cameras into her idyllic home, anchored deep in the Silver Lake hills.
What did we discover? Her cherublike daughter, Hiver, jumping on her canopy bed; an Ikea piece she transformed with bright blue paint; and enough light to make sunglasses an indoor necessity.
The place is as much outdoors as in, which is one reason people live in L.A. anyway.
That's public knowledge.
Shop Merrick's fall collection (and the pillows you see in her house) at heidimerrick.com. To ogle more homes, check out Lela Rose's dog elevator, Rebecca Minkoff's Zen den, and Kaelen Haworth's DJ booth.
For most of our New York-based staffers, a dishwasher is a source of pride.
For designer Lela Rose, it's an elevator in the shape of a Monopoly house for her dog, Stitch.
The gracious Texan-turned-Tribeca resident shows us around her unlike-anything-we've-seen apartment for today's Inside Story video.
Her home, which she's lived in for three years with her two children and husband, has tables that come out of the floor and ceiling (to accommodate 66-person dinners she hosts for Edible Schoolyard NYC), a room lined entirely in gray felt, and a closet that, well, you have to see to believe.
Rose even has a cavernous space in her basement dedicated to tasting tequila (we hear Mario Batali's gotten comfortable there a time or two). Alas, it was too dark for us to shoot.
Which is, perhaps, for the best. Because someone might've ended up in the dog elevator.
Channel Rose's elegance at lelarose.com. To learn more about Edible Schoolyard NYC, go to esynyc.org. For more home porn, check out designer Kaelen Haworth's downtown dream loft and designer Hillary Taymour's DIY decor-flanked pad.
We love a good rags-to-riches story, especially when it's true, well deserved, and recounted by the convivial and talented Marcus Samuelsson.
His autobiography, Yes, Chef (out yesterday), starts with the journey to live with adoptive parents in Sweden after losing his birth mother to tuberculosis in Ethiopia and ends with the opening of Red Rooster Harlem, the restaurant where Obama digs the cornbread.
In honor of the moving tale, we asked Samuelsson to make his favorite childhood dish: the tastiest gravlax (cured salmon) sandwich this side of Scandinavia, just like his adoptive grandma used to make.
It's a lunchtime treat.
And ensures your afternoon has a happily ever after.
Yes, Chef is available at amazon.com, $16.
Contrary to popular belief, the greatest part of working at DailyCandy isn't brainstorming Michael Fassbender puns, weird cubicle decor, or morning Scotch tastings.
It's getting the word out about fledgling businesses — and watching them take off. We're thrilled to announce the launch of our third annual Start Small, Go Big Contest.
Through August 3, enter your small biz idea for the chance to win a trip to New York City, website and email write-ups, callouts on our social networks, and a spot at the DailyCandy Academy, where you'll get advice from big shots like Spanx founder Sara Blakely and designer Jonathan Adler.
We'll choose a winner in the categories of food and drink, fashion, health and beauty, home, and digital and tech. We can't wait to spend hours going through the entries.
You might even call it a (Fass)bender.

If the saying "the camera adds ten pounds" is true, then we have a new one: A webcam adds fifteen, plus about 50 shades of creepiness.
To find out how to look more like ourselves (and less like an online predator) over Google video chat and Skype, we ask L.A.-based photographer/director Matthew Rolston for tips. In today's video, he tells us how to sit, position the camera, and light our face for maximum attractiveness.
We're in good hands with Rolston, who was discovered by Andy Warhol in the early '80s. He's photographed everyone you can think of, from Angelina for the cover of Rolling Stone to Alexander Skarsgård in the buff, covered in fake blood.
That's the kind of creepiness we can get down with.
For more information on Rolston, go to matthewrolston.com. Then watch our video on how to pose for a still photograph.
If we had a penny for every time we purchased makeup and used it just twice, we'd be rich enough to hoard more junk.
To help simplify our needs, we enlist eco-conscious makeup artist Kristen Arnett. In today's Inside Story video, she shows us her personal beauty closet, including the five daily essentials you need in your cosmetics bag (and nothing else). Not only are they effective, they're free of harsh (to you and the earth) chemicals.
Arnett knows her stuff: She's been powdering famous faces — from Jude Law to basically every model you can think of — for years, using the most natural items on the market.
Instead of every item on the market.
For more information on Arnett, go to greenbeautyteam.com. Want to keep watching? Check out designer Chrissie Miller's collection of rock 'n' roll tees, nutritionist Kimberly Snyder's fridge contents, and designer Kaelen Haworth's New York apartment.

Latest Reviews for Engagement Rings
My fiancee and I absolutely love it. We're very glad we ordered from BN and would absolutely do it again!
Hard to get the same selection from anywhere else - I was a little worried about purchasing online but a friend in the diamond industry said the website was legit. Just be sure to look at the GIA reports to know where the inclusions are.
Absolutely superb customer service and selection and exceptional educational resources. If you take the time to do your research on diamonds, you will walk away with a steal from this website. The quality of the diamond and setting are top notch, and I really couldn't recommend blue nile anymore. I spent a few months researching ALL other options, brick and mortar jewelry stores, local small jewelry stores, other online companies and they honestly do not hold a candle to the service and quality of Blue Nile. I had over 40 emails with one representative where he provided me with a ton of options and constructive feedback. I never felt pressured to make a purchase. As for the setting, if you are going with a 1.30 center stone or larger I'd go with this setting, if your center stone is any smaller, I'd consider a thinner band. My fiance has received a significant number of complements already, and I have a feeling she will continue to receive them long into the future.
Excellent compliment to the center diamond

At a GlanceProFund VP Precious Metals seeks to provide exposure to the Dow Jones Precious Metals Index.
ObjectiveProFund VP Precious Metals seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the daily performance of the Dow Jones Precious Metals Index.
There is no guarantee that any ProFund will achieve its investment objective. Investment return and principal value will vary and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. An investment in this ProFund entails certain risks, which are outlined in the Fund's Prospectus.
RisksBecause non-diversified portfolios invest a substantial proportion of their assets in a limited number of securities within a specific industry, they may suffer greater volatility as a result of economic, political or regulatory events than diversified portfolios would.
Certain funds are subject to concentration risk which results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. Sector funds may have significant exposure to an individual company that constitutes a significant portion of that fund's benchmark index and thus will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that specific company.
Risks associated with investing in companies in the gold and silver mining industry include but are not limited to: fluctuating prices of precious metals due to changes in inflation or inflation expectations or currency fluctuations, speculation, and worldwide demand; adverse effects from government regulation, world events and economic conditions; market, economic and political risks of the countries where precious metals companies are located or do business; thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel; securities may be illiquid and may be more difficult to value.
There are several risk considerations associated with the ProFunds VP and the Access VP High Yield Fund, including but not limited to the following: Active Investor Risk, Aggressive Investment Technique Risk, CDS Risk, Concentration Risk, Correlation Risk, Counterparty Risk, Credit Risk, Debt Instrument Risk, Early Close/Trading Halt Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Equity Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, Foreign Investment Risk, Geographic Concentration Risk, High Yield Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Specific Risk, Liquidity Risk, Management Risk, Market Risk, Non-Diversification Risk, Repurchase Agreement Risk, Portfolio Turnover Risk, Short Sale Risk, Small and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk, Technology Investment Risk, Valuation Risk, Value Investing Risk.
Please see the prospectus for complete discussion of these risks and other special risks that may apply to specific Funds.
