Bullet and egg vibrators are often neglected in favor of their flashier vibrator counterparts like rabbit, G-Spot and clitoral vibrators. Many first-time vibrator users don't understand that bullet and egg vibrators fill a valuable niche in the sex toy world, and thus end up missing out on half the fun vibrators can offer. The small size of bullet and egg vibrators also makes them perfect for travel. You can easily hide a bullet or egg vibrator in your pocket, purse or suitcase as a travel buddy. And many bullet and egg vibrators offer the same extra features as more expensive rabbit vibrators, including multiple vibration modes and waterproof seals, at a much lower price to help you save money. Bullet and eggs can also be found in other sex toys such as cock rings and masturbators.

A great first impression is vital, and caring for your face is important for first impressions, since your face is one of the first things people notice about you. Unfortunately many people neglect their facial care. The huge variety of skin-care products in the marketplace can easily confuse people. There are piles of anti wrinkle treatments, like face-lifts, Botox, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing, etc. However, these can be risky, costly, and only offer short-term results. To effectively remove wrinkles and improve your skin, you must go for natural remedies. An anti wrinkle mask will enhance the overall look and health of your skin. A good anti wrinkle mask cleanses, softens, moisturizes, and prevents aging.
Anti wrinkle masks utilize fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and many other natural ingredients. There are two kinds of masks you must use for the best results: a deep cleansing mask, and a deep hydration mask. The deep cleansing mask eliminates toxins built up on the skin. The deep hydration mask moisturizes your skin, which is important in order to stop wrinkles, as dry skin is one of the reasons you can get wrinkles. When using anti wrinkle masks, you will see vast improvements overnight.
An anti wrinkle mask is worth every penny and is a great wrinkle reduction idea you will be glad you followed up on. But what things do you look for in an anti wrinkle mask to get ultimate results? First, check ingredients. A deep cleansing mask should have Kaolin in order to remove grit gently and absorb oil, Macadamia Oil to keep skin cells from aging, and Shea Butter to soften skin. There are other ingredients, but these are just the main ones. For mask #2—the deep hydration mask—check for a blend of rich plant oils, antioxidants that are plant and vitamin based, and essential lipids and fatty acids. There are also super ingredients that you should check for: Cynergy TK, natural vitamin E, and Nanobelle CoEnzymeQ10. Your deep hydration mask should include at least one of these great ingredients for even better results. Lastly, watch out for chemicals. A lot of general skin-care products are full of harsh chemicals, such as parabens ( used as preservative), fragrances (used to make product more appealing), and mineral oil (used as moisturizer). But all of these are bad for your skin and can cause side effects. If used for a long time, parabens can cause cancer.
Mineral oil can surprisingly dry out your skin and expose it to damage. Fragrances trigger skin irritation and allergies. How about the ingredient collagen, which supposedly keeps skin firm and smooth? Actually collagen isn't that helpful. The molecules in collagen are too big for the skin to absorb, and much of the collagen is left unused on the skin's surface. An effective anti wrinkle mask will naturally increase your body's ability to make collagen. So collagen, though not harmful, should not be on your must-have ingredient list. For beautiful skin and affordable and lasting results, the anti wrinkle mask won't let you down.

Apache Toolbox provides a means to easily compile Apache (IPv4/6) SSL, PHP(v3/v4), MySQL, Jakarta, a large number of modules (61 3rd party modules and 36 default Apache modules, static or as DSOs), and GD libraries with PNG+JPEG+Freetype2+zlib support. It is fully customizable and menu-driven. Everything is compiled from source, and wget is used to download any missing modules. It can also check for RPMs that might cause problems and create an RPM with your selections.
The ESP Package Manager (EPM) is a simple tool that generates software and patch distributions in various formats, including AT&T software packages ("pkg") used by Solaris, Debian ("dpkg"), HP-UX software packages ("swinstall" or "depot"), IRIX Software Manager ("inst" or "tardist"), portable (installation and removal scripts with tar files), and Red Hat Package Manager ("RPM").
FAI (fully automatic installation) is a non-interactive system to install a Debian GNU/Linux operating system on a group of PCs or a Linux cluster. After installation, the systems are fully configured and ready to run. It is a scalable method for performing unattended installation and updating. Changes to the configuration files of the operating system are made by cfengine, shell, and Perl scripts.
The Fink project wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and Mac OS X. It modifies Unix software so that it compiles and runs on Mac OS X and makes it available for download as a coherent distribution. Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to provide powerful binary package management. You can choose whether you want to download precompiled binary packages or build everything from source.
gBootRoot makes the construction and development of distributions fun and simple with its Root Methods (Yard) and user-mode-linux test bed. Finish the product with a Boot Method (2-disk compression supported). Normal (non-root) users can make root filesystems and boot disks. It includes the make_debian script to create a testable user-mode-linux base Debian system, add-ons to enhance methods, and an MTD Emulator useful for running distributions made with the jffs/jffs2 filesystem.
gitty-gitty, the (general | GNU) template generation tools, are a set of scripts for creating a whole set of sources which may already be compiled and installed using the GNU development tools. Think of gtgt as a program which is able to create an already compilable, very sophisticated "hello world" program, written in C or C++ and constituted by a main program, two internal modules (classes), and one static and one shared library, and this complex "Hello World" is already fully embedded into the GNU autoconf/automake development environment. By using gitty-gitty, you will get a template of sources for the main cases you might meet, and which you can also use as examples for automake, autoconf, etc.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. This broad academic and applied discipline encompasses many different psychology subfields, including abnormal, clinical, cognitive, developmental, educational, and social. The duties of a psychologist depends on their specialization and education, but most are responsible for conducting psychological studies and evaluations, diagnosing mental disorders, and treating patients with therapy, medications, or a combination of both.
Becoming a licensed psychologist requires extensive education and training in the subject. Most students begin their career path by earning a bachelor's degree in psychology. During this program, students will take courses in introductory psychology, psychology as a science and profession, research methods in psychology, and experimental design and analysis. Students may have the option of choosing a concentration area such as business, child development, and clinical psychology to diversify their psychology education.
Graduates of the psychology degree program are eligible to work in counseling, human resources, advertising, marketing, research, and several other industries. To provide psychotherapy and evaluations typically requires a master's and doctorate degree in psychology. Bachelor's degree holders who decide not to attend graduate school may face tough competition in the job market. Many employers can benefit from the diverse knowledge and skills of psychology majors, but it will require students to market themselves effectively.

There are 14 FAQs for Emirates Skywards: Membership Tiers.
Tier Miles are calculated at the same rate as Skywards Miles taking into account the fare you have paid, the route and the class of travel. So, on a Business Class Skywards Flex ticket they would be calculated as follows:
Tier Miles are valid for up to 13 months from the date you start earning, which is usually your first flight as an Emirates Skywards member either on Emirates or on an EK codeshare flight. If you receive Tier Miles from a backdated claim, they will be valid from the date of the flight.
Tier Miles cannot be transferred or bought.
Yes – our Skywards Flex tickets always earn you more Tier Miles.
To move up to the next tier you need to earn sufficient Tier Miles or take enough qualifying flights during the tier qualification period.
To reach Silver membership, you need to collect 25,000 Tier Miles (or take 25 qualifying flights).
To reach Gold membership, you need to collect 50,000 Tier Miles (or take 50 qualifying flights).
To reach Platinum membership, you need to collect 150,000 Tier Miles.
Please check My Account for information about your tier status and key review dates.
A 'qualifying flight' is a flight from origin to destination, either on Emirates or a code-share flight marketed by Emirates but operated by another airline.
Your origin is the airport where you start your journey, and your destination is the final airport where you complete your journey. So a qualifying flight could be a complete inbound or outbound journey, or a one-way flight. Stopovers are not counted as a destination.
Tier qualification happens when you have collected enough Tier Miles or you have flown enough qualifying flights to either keep your tier or move up to the next level.
At the time of your review, we count up how many Tier Miles you have accumulated or how many qualifying flights you have taken. If you have enough, we then promote you to the next status level or keep you in your current tier. If you haven't qualified, you drop a tier level.
Regardless of whether you drop a tier, keep your tier or move up a tier in your review, we don't wait another year to reassess your Tier Miles balance, but instead we check it every month. That way, we keep giving you the chance to qualify or move up a tier by 'rolling over' your tier qualification period. So, at the end of each month we count up your Tier Miles or qualifying flights over the previous 12 months to reassess your status. This rolling assessment gives you 12 opportunities during every year to move up a tier, instead of just one.
There are two ways to retain your tier:
Once you have reached a new tier you have a fixed 12-month period in which to earn the Tier Miles you need to keep your status. During this time, you would need to save 25,000 Tier Miles or take 25 qualifying flights to remain in Silver, 50,000 Tier Miles or 50 qualifying flights to remain in Gold and 150,000 Tier Miles to remain in Platinum.
If you have not managed to stay in your tier after your review date, you will move back to the previous tier. The rolling tier qualification system will resume, meaning we give you a review opportunity every month over the subsequent 12 to 13 months to allow you to regain your status.
*A 'qualifying flight' is a flight on Emirates, or a code-share flight marketed by Emirates but operated by another airline, between the point of origin and point of destination of an outward or return journey.
Regardless of how many Tier Miles you have earned or flights you have flown, your card validity and benefits are extended beyond the tier review date by an extra two months, even if you have not qualified to stay in your tier.
For example, if you achieve Silver membership on 17th October 2014, your tier review date will be at the end of October 2015, but you can still use your Silver card to enjoy extended benefits until the end of December 2015, even if you do not retain your tier.
Tier reviews always take place at the end of a month.
Yes, you can progress to a new tier based either on the number of Tier Miles you collect or the number of qualifying flights you take.
The thresholds for each tier are as follows:
Silver: 25,000 Tier Miles or 25 qualifying flights
Gold: 50,000 Tier Miles or 50 qualifying flights
Platinum: 150,000 Tier Miles only
Tier status can only be earned by accumulating Tier Miles when you fly with Emirates or on an EK codeshare flight.
Class bonuses when flying Emirates are 75% for Business Class and 150% for First Class, and this applies to both Tier Miles and Skywards Miles. The percentage is calculated from the base Miles earned on the ticket you have purchased.
You do not earn additional Tier Miles for being a Silver, Gold or Platinum member. However, you can earn extra Tier Miles by travelling Business or First Class or choosing a Flex fare.

I really like her earlier book "Eastern Vegetarian Cooking". Highly recommended (though not for people who need pretty pictures in their cookbooks - it doesn't have those - recipes are fab though).
(Not writing to enter your competition - I am not in North America - but just writing to rave about a favourite cookbook.)

Haven't posted on here in forever, yadda yadda yadda. Haven't felt like it...
Moving on...
So last night, Mike and I grabbed dinner at Panera. Had a nice chat over our meal. Went back out to get into the car and drive home. I saw a bill on the ground and picked it up, thinking, "Ooh, a dollar... NICE!"
But it wasn't $1. It was a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!
Shaking, bill still in my hand, I got into the driver's seat. Showed it to Mike. There was nobody else in the parking lot and the parking lot we were in was only for Panera, so it had to have been a Panera customer who dropped it.
"What should I do?" I asked Mike, already knowing the answer.
"You can't keep it," he said. "You should take it in and leave it with them in case somebody comes back for it."
I sat there for a moment, turning it over and over in my hand. Thinking about the things I could buy with it. But the money wasn't mine, and even though I found it, I didn't feel it was mine to keep. If it had been a $1 or a $10 bill, I would have kept it. But $100 is the amount of money somebody might come back for, so I had to take it back into the place and leave it in case they did.
I went back inside and asked for the manager. Not that I didn't trust the person behind the counter, but somehow a manager seemed most trustworthy to me, and if I was going to do the right thing and take the money back, I wanted it to be done right. I asked if they had a lost and found. The manager said no, why, did I lose something. I said, "No, I found something." And held up the $100 bill.
The place was practically empty as it was getting close to closing time, and a number of folks who worked there saw what was going on and started commenting. "You should keep it!" multiple people said to me.
"I can't. It's not mine to keep. Besides what if somebody comes back for it!"
The manager said he didn't really have any place to safely keep it. Did I want to put it in the donation box that is bolted to the counter near the cash registers that collects money for a hunger charity? That seemed like a logical thing to do if he couldn't keep the money in case the person who lost it came back. So that is what I did.
I left there feeling great for having done that, even though the folks in the place were still telling me I should have kept it. "Major karma points for me!" I said, laughing as I left.
So I made a nice deposit in the karma bank last night.
If you found $100 in a parking lot with nobody else around, what would you do? Honestly? Do you think I did the right thing? (I think I did, but am curious to hear what others think.)
In late May, I blogged about how getting on the scale was a huge mistake. I hereby eat those words. I've been regularly weighing myself since, and I've lost almost 15 pounds since that day. (I'm at 14 lost since then.) I ran into my next-door neighbor earlier, who noticed immediately and commented on it (I hadn't seen her in a while since they had been away for much of July). I can totally fit into all of my old clothes, even the smallest pants and jeans. The few pairs of pants that didn't fit back then do fit now. I haven't been this slim since 2003.
My goal these days is to maybe lose a few more pounds. If I don't, so be it.... my original goal was to get back into my skinniest jeans, and I reached that goal a few weeks ago. Now I'm just exercising to get into better shape, not to lose weight. I've been walking a lot lately (4-5 times a week for an hour or so per outing) and feeling pretty great. It took me a year to get to this point, but I feel better for not having caved in and done all kinds of fad diets. I have changed my eating habits long-term, which is what I had hoped to do.
Within the past few months, Mike and I have been eating a lot more organic foods and staying away from anything processed (in other words, shopping the perimeter of the store -- not the inside aisles). We've gotten into the habit of going to Whole Foods as much as possible and we love it. I get excited when we go there (it's about 20 minutes away from our house).
Perhaps the biggest change we made was one that was suggested to Mike by a friend of his: eating for our blood types. Without going into too much detail (you can read a lot about it at the link I just included), we've both been following the diet for a while now (me since early June, Mike since early May). We've both noticed huge differences in our overall health and energy levels, and we've both lost weight on the diet (I attribute the last 14 pounds that came off to that diet, although I didn't go on it to lose weight -- I went on it to help my overall health).
I lost that weight without counting calories... the only thing I pay attention to is what is on my beneficial list, what is on my neutral list, and what is on my avoid list. (Obviously, I don't eat crazy huge portions, but I don't walk around hungry ever.) I have cut out virtually of my "avoid" items (although there are a few things that I am finishing up that I had in the house -- wasn't going to throw away good food). I still have to decide how much meat I want to reintroduce into my diet (I've been primarily vegetarian for about 15 years now).
I cannot recommend this way of eating highly enough. As I said, both Mike and I have noticed huge improvements in how we feel (not that either of us felt bad when we started, but I have way more energy, I sleep better, my allergies have gotten MUCH better, etc.), and his brother and some friends of his also have noticed huge improvements as well. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it work for others and experienced it myself. If you are looking to lose weight and/or deal with health problems, this might be a really, really smart thing to try. I intend to keep eating like this for the rest of my life! This isn't a fad diet and you won't feel deprived of good things (even though a number of foods I liked were on the list of things I had to "avoid," the only thing I find myself missing actively is peanut butter). Consider it a lifestyle and health-style change!
If you try it, let me know how you like it and how it has worked for you. It's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.
Beautiful blog of mine, why do I ignore you so? It's sad, really, how much I just put you off until another day. But life's been getting in the way lately, and as the old saying goes, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Been making lots of lemonade lately. It's been keeping me very busy. Squeezing lemons takes a lot of time.
Last night's stellar concert experience, though, not only begged to be chronicled here -- it demanded it. Screamed it at me, saying in no uncertain terms, "You must blog me." So here I am. It's gonna be a long one, so... so... there.
Before I get into the good stuff, let me start by saying that I'm not a die-hard Springsteen fan. I really like his music a lot, but even though I'm a Jersey girl now later in life, I wasn't one growing up. I wasn't raised here (although I have actually lived here longer than I've lived anywhere else in my life), and I think that that often (although not always, of course) accounts for some of the rabidness his fans in NJ possess... if you are from here and you like Bruce, you don't just like Bruce... you LOVE him.
But I like his music a great deal, have come to appreciate his prowess as a songwriter, as well as the E. Street Band's glory. Sure, I'd heard everything on the radio that everyone else in the country heard growing up, so I wasn't unschooled in the Boss entirely. However, I didn't experience Bruce live until I lived here, at which point it seemed it had to be done -- to see Bruce in his own backyard. I became a believer (but not a crazy rabid fan) after some stadium and arena shows, as well as some solo Bruce adventures live.
I mention all of this as background, to set the scene. I knew that I would be attending a concert with Giants Stadium packed to the gills with die-hard fans. Even the folks up in the rafters in the nosebleed seats REALLY wanted to be there with a desire that bordered on crazy. Going to a Springsteen show in New Jersey... I can't say I've ever had such concert experiences when I've seen other bands in their hometown areas when the situations have presented themselves, except for perhaps seeing The Tragically Hip up in Canada. There's this electricity, this palpable excitement, this conviviality and focus on the music, this rush... you can feel it. It's hard to explain, really, without going off into very elusive, indescribable territory. It gets into your gut. It feels better than good. Viscerally sublime. It is Bruce. In Jersey. Those goosebumps down your arms when the music starts? Yeah, you feel it too.
Among the folks who travel these highways and byways criss-crossing the Garden State, Bruce is considered by many to be a god. I hesitate to put any musicians on a pedestal such as that one, but others have done it for me by their sheer devotion to the man. There were a stadium full of believers, ready to worship, last night.
Traffic getting there was a nightmare. We left plenty of time, and we still walked into the venue late enough as to be too close for comfort (we thought). Perhaps Bruce heard of the overturned truck that closed the Turnpike up near the stadium and pushed the showtime back accordingly... I'm not sure. The concert-goers seemed oddly content to wait. And wait we did. Bruce and the band didn't hit the stage until 9:30. And there was no opener. There was a lot of waiting going on.
We ended up, with an insane fluke of Ticketmaster luck (never to be repeated if we tried our hardest), with 8th row seats on the floor. Facing the stage, we were off to the right, but on the left side of that section, so the angle wasn't too severe. In front of us was a standing-room VIP and general admission section that wasn't very wide and butted up against some lower-level catwalks that Bruce would traverse at different times throughout the night. We also happened to be on the side where the backstage entrance was, so we were in prime star-sighting land, which also passed the time while we waited for the show to start.
The first sighting was Gary Dell'Abate, producer of The Howard Stern Show. Mike knows him, but didn't go talk to him -- perhaps preferring to let him enjoy his family outing. Shouts of his nickname "Baba Booey" were hollered when people did see him, and some folks did go up and talk to him. Then I heard someone in front of us say "Weeds." Mike and I love that show. Yes, Mary Louise Parker was there, standing right in the VIP section with her "are they on again" dude, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who many folks around us mistakenly thought was Robert Downey, Jr., they do resemble each other a bit). Standing with them and chatting with them was Tim Robbins. Off to the other side was a former American Idol contestant, Constantine Maroulis (how Mike and I recognized him puzzled both of us because we have never watched an episode of that show EVER in our lives). I took some photos for proof (of everyone except Constantine and Baba Booey - LOL):
Here is Tim Robbins:
And here is Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Mary Louise Parker:
It was almost impossible to get a photo of Mary Louise Parker, simply because people were usually in the way and I refused to walk up there to take a picture. Taking it from far away seemed fine, but I wasn't going to walk closer like other people were doing. I don't roll that way, I guess. They're there to enjoy a concert. Getting in their face to take photos or whatnot just seemed intrusive and wrong to me (although one might argue that taking photos from far away is also intrusive in another way, but I still say it's less so).
After we'd amused ourselves watching some famous folks do nothing more exciting than chat with each other, we were finally graced by the presence of Bruce and band. It was 9:30 and the place was ready to party. I couldn't even tell you all of the songs they played -- I'm not one of those people who knows all of the song titles by a long shot, although I did recognize the vast majority of the tunes. I knew they were playing long sets, but we got, and I'm not kidding here, almost 3 hours and 30 minutes of concert. They were done playing at almost 1 a.m.! Now, usually venues of any size beyond like small clubs and bars have union rules for the workers which institutes a curfew. If the band plays later than a set curfew time, they incur overtime costs for said union workers. Makes sense. Well, obviously Bruce was ready to eat a pretty hefty overtime bill (I would guess the curfew there to be 11 or 11:30), or he's so revered in these parts that he got a free pass (the latter I sincerely doubt to be the case).
It was a blur of fist-pumping, booty-shaking, chills-inducing crowd singalong goodness. Bruce was all over the stage, sweating profusely in the very hot, humid summer night (it was in the 80s even when the sun went down). I know they played Born To Run, Rosalita (the final song), Jungleland, Bobby Jean, Cadillac Ranch, Blinded By The Light, The Rising, Badlands, Radio Nowhere... tons more that my still reeling brain is forgetting (a full set list follows, compliments of Backstreets.com):
July 31 / E. Rutherford, NJ / Giants Stadium
Summertime Blues
Tenth Avenue Freeze-out
Radio Nowhere
Prove It All Night
Two Hearts

American Land

And as per usual, I played rock photographer. I took photos of both the action on stage and the huge video screen in front of us. Not my best work, but I didn't want to do more than set my ISO and have the shutter speed be the only thing I would tweak (if I got into full manual mode, I miss too much of the show trying to get my settings right). Setting the camera on auto at a nighttime outdoor show never works in my experience. I think I got some fun stuff... See what you think:
Ever seen Bruce? What was it like? Ever seen him in Jersey?
Yes, I've been remiss in posting here. I know that. Don't feel particularly guilty about it either, so you won't be seeing any public apologies here for said lapse, no sirree, Bob. (Who IS Bob in that last sentence? I have no idea where that saying comes from, but when one says "no sirree," "Bob" always seems to follow, right?)
Been so busy with work. Been actually using my free time to do things like relax, read a book, watch TV, etc. Once one gets into the habit of actually using one's free time (albeit pretty limited, but still) for endeavors such as those, well, blogging doesn't really even OCCUR to me. I don't get these little, "Hmmmm, you should be blogging thoughts." Which made me contemplate just letting my blog go away. This line of thinking lasted maybe a week tops. But then I realized I would miss it. So it's staying. Although I'm kinda thinking I may be the only one reading this since I haven't posted in so long... Not that there's anything wrong with that...
So... busy girl, busy girl. Saw some great shows (Rush, Petty/Winwood, Eddie Izzard) and have more coming (Ricky Gervais, Styx/Boston, Bruce Springsteen [7th row, bay-bee... still don't know how we lucked into those tickets on the evil Ticketmaster, either]), Mark Knopfler... Mostly just trying to keep my head above the day job water. And stuff...
Hello, hello! Am back home after a week away... visited my parents and worked from their house while Mike took some vacation time off. We also spent a day up in Toronto while we were out that way, and it was a rather whirlwind whoosh north of the border capped off by a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Which was actually really, really cool. I didn't even try to catch up with any digi pals up that way geographically because a) we were in town for like 24 hours, and b) said 24 hours were an early anniversary getaway and the time we were spending together was meant to be just the two of us. Maybe next time we'll be up there a wee bit longer!
Working from my parents' house does have its perks -- in between work tasks, I did manage to take a jaunt or two with mom to do some shopping... As my own boss, as long as I get the work done, I do allow myself the occasional fun and frivolity during the work day. Heck, I always work through lunch, so it all evens out in the wash. Also went to the cemetery to visit my grandparents and left them a lovely geranium plant. And I didn't cry this time. I felt sad, but there were no tears. Still miss them every single day, though, and it's hard to visit that neck of the woods without feeling their absence more profoundly/deeply.
Besides that, not much else is shaking around here. Mike and I are going to see Tom Petty and Steve Winwood tomorrow night -- feels like we bought those tickets EONS ago.
And I'm a busy bee house cleaning this week as my brother and his posse are visiting this weekend. Had to put away some of the fragile items in my living room. My nephews are respectful of things and if you tell them not to touch stuff they won't, but accidents can happen, so I put anything of sentimental value that was the least bit breakable in a box out in the garage... My house is officially nephew-proofed. Can't wait to see everyone!

Spassky "escapes from captivity" in France, flees to Russia
In a shocking interview for one of the leading Russian newspapers Komsomolskaya Pravda, Boris Spassky says he was "mistreated" and "kept in captivity" in France, after being diagnosed with a stroke in September 2010. The 10th World Champion has chosen to return to Russia.
Boris Spassky at the 2008 Olympiad in Dresden
In September 2010 we reported the terrible news that Boris Spassky suffered a stroke and was taken to hospital. At the time the doctors were said to be fighting for his life, but a week later it was reported that Spassky's condition was stable. Later it would become known that the stroke had left him paralyzed on his left side. Spassky returned to France, where has lived since 1976, for a long rehabilitation programme.
Yesterday Komsomolskaya Pravda, a daily Russian tabloid newspaper, published an interview with Spassky. As it turns out the former World Champion has returned to Moscow. He says he was "mistreated" in the hospital in Paris where he was taken to after his stroke. Russian Women's Champion Natalija Pogonina translated part of the interview on her blog:
The ex-World Champion says that for some reason he was given soporifics all the time and isolated from any communication means - no phone calls, no Internet, nothing. He had numerous ulcers on his body from the pharmacology and thinks that it is not a coincidence. (...) The grandmaster claims he was on the verge of dying due to this pseudo-treatment and luckily escaped to Russia with the help of his friends.
From the interview it appears that Spassky's wife, Marina Shcherbacheva, played a role in cutting communication from their home. Interviewer Cyril Zangalis writes that Spassky was put "under house arrest" and his wife "cut him off the world".
I was isolated. I begged to send me to Russia, but no one heard.
Spassky was not able to inform people about his condition as he couldn't move about independently. His "escape" to Moscow was arranged by friends, who also needed to arrange travel documents. Spassky:
First, I needed documents because mysteriously I lost both my French and Russian passport. One can only assume that I was stolen. (...) So, the boys managed to pull me out of the house, put me in a car and drop me off at the Russian Embassy.
There, Spassky was given a temporary passport and on Thursday he to travelled to Moscow. The interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda was conducted via phone from a Moscow clinic.
Asked why all this happened, Spassky suggested that, although he's "not a rich man", his sudden death could mean financial gains for someone. Spassky, who is intending to live in Russia permanently, hopes to return to his "normal chess life". He is working on his autobiography.

With all due respect to Boris Vasilievich, I think that stroke left serious consequences on his brain and is no loger capable of thinking clearly.
He is living in his own world now and is mixing things from the past into the present.

Dear Peter,
I admire your work and effort in CV and enjoy it. I understand you are a professional and needs to make a living but do you have to have the ad which starts automatically when I visit your excellent webpage?
I completely agree with weng nian siow. I expressed the same idea much less politely at another occasion.
1 year 8 months ago
agreed - even if you mute it, the next one starts unmuted in a few seconds. I have some stronger words which I will save for "contact us"

Another chess player who's gone mad, one of my heroes. How sad.

cuckoo/mad as a hatter/...and my guess is for quite some time

Well.. All this story from Spassky sadly reminds me about his friend Fischer's late phase of life....
1 year 8 months ago
Why does have to assume that hes crazy? Crazier things have happened and a person or people can do anything if the motive is worth enough.
More information will come from this soon, so I suggest that everyone waits and see
What's Next?

You don't trick Boris Spassky that easy. The man has found a winning counterattack at last! All the best, Boris!

I would not say that Spassky is crazy, as some suggest. Something is not right here, and it is not Spassky's mental health. If Mrs. Spassky wanted to inherit her husband's money, then that is a motive. The question is why would she do so?
I saw Spassky once, in the 1980s, when I was a teenager. He does not strike me as someone given to making up stories. I suspect that there is something to his story, as weird as it sounds. Why would he be held incommunicado? I used to be hospitalized myself, and I had communication!
The gist of Spassky's story is that someone decided to use his stroke for their own gain.
As the Romans used to say, who stands to profit? Obviously Mrs. Spassky is one of the prime suspects.
So do not be so quick as to disregard what Boris Vassilevich says. There might well be truth to it.

Spassky's story makes it sound like the hospital was complicit in keeping him incommunicado. What motivation could the hospital possibly have?
While there seems to be a lot of egocentric paranoia in what he says, there is one thing to say:
It's quite possible Spassky didn't get the best treatment (of course his conclusions/interpretations are another matter..) and the "explanation" could be quite easy and "boring":
He got the same treatmenet as a regular person... Sarkozy messed the french health system up quite well and now many french public hospitals are an underequipped, overworked catastrophe. So if he's not rich (and I doubt they know or care who Spassky is) I'm not surprised the "quality" wasn't that good.
I remember "Les Guignols de l'info" (a satirical show with rubber puppets) making a reality-show-parody about "6 sick candidates for one hospital bed! Who will win the show and get a treatment?".....
And in combination with an over-worked, stressed stuff we do not know how "needy" Spassky was, some patients can be stressful (esp. after the shock of a stroke and when they are famous) demanding stuff all the time. So what he perceives as "isolation" might have just been a result from that...

Sound entirely plausible to me, having recently seen and witness the treatment of elderly in nursing homes in the United States. Quite scary! Get your own private medical attention whenever possible!!!

Could be. We simply do not have enough info at this point.
The source of the information is interesting: a russian newspaper, telling about a former russian chess hero, mistreated in the west, returning after years of exile to the helpful mother Russia to thankfully stay forever. And accidentally it happens now.

What a strange story. Something is not right here, it might be Spassky, it might be the report. And yes, Adblock Plus in Firefox pretty much does the job.

Thanks chessvibes, it's so rare to get a good laugh these days!
The Chessbase report might shed an entirely different light on this story: the "preface" attributed to Frederic Friedel includes this:
"Our last video Skype contact was early this year, when Boris was in good spirits and planning a visit to Hamburg, to record the story of his life. I have also known his wife Marina Shcherbacheva since Bilbao 2008. On Thursday I received an email from Boris, who was shocked by the news of his friend Svetozar Gligoric's death. We added it to our report. Then, later that night, an alarmed call from Marina, who told me that her husband had left their house and was apparently on his way to Moscow."
Huh? Spassky was supposedly cut off from the Internet for the last two years!!?? While it's possible to send a fake email from his account, it would take a lot of creativity (and criminal energy) to find a Spassky look-alike and talk-alike for a Skype conversation.
I am obviously speculating, but the extreme other end of the current story might be like this: Spassky "was escaped from captivity" (i.e. kidnapped), put on a plane to Moscow, maybe put on drugs and forced to give a 'shocking interview'.
Whatever one thinks of Frederic Friedel, it would be hard to believe that he made things up completely in his preface. Then it is odd (or at the very least extremely lazy) that Chessbase doesn't recognize the logical inconsistency between the preface and the interview that follows. BTW the suggestion that Spassky's wife played a role in his house arrest and isolation seems to be the interviewer's, not supported by a Spassky quote in either translation (Pogonina here and Steve Giddins on Chessbase).

well, mr. spassky can easily find out the difference between france and russia.
if his accusations are more than just the muttering of a senile egocentric he can sue the doctors.
You are insulting people Mr Spassky who saved your life. Ask Mr. Short about the hygienic standards of hospitals in russia.
You are insulting a country that saved your life because it can simply do more than the russian dictatorship.
Stay in russia, Mr Spassky, you won't survive a second stroke there.
!! Now this is a lesson in democracy !!
Stand up to your words Mr. Spassky and go to court - If you don't, you only prove that a man of strong words is not always a man of strong thought.
If I were the doctor who saved your life, Mr. Spassky, I would sue you. You are a disgrace and therefore Putin's russia is a good place for you.

amazing how many people will draw so many conclusions from so little info and from dubious sources i might add...lets just wait if something more solid comes up before we bash on Mr. Spassky, shall we?
"from dubious sources"
Actually just one source ... . Does anyone know if the following description by BBC Monitoring in 2008 was, and is still correct?
"it [Komsomolskaya Pravda] has built its reputation on a gentle nostalgia for the Soviet period, firm backing for Kremlin policy and a keen interest in celebrity news and scandal from home and abroad."
If so, one wouldn't trust that their coverage of the Pussy Riot/Kasparov case is unbiased - and as others pointed out, Spassky's supposed case may be related rather than accidentally coinciding. More generally, I don't trust what I read in German, Dutch and British tabloids (actually that's the reason why I don't read them).

Good luck to the great sportsman Boris Spassky. I am saddened by some of the disrespectful posts.
40 Years ago he lost his titanic struggle with the great mortal Fischer yet produced one of the great moments of sportsmanship with his applause after game 6 and now he faces the final struggle which we will all one day face.
I hope he will write some of his memoirs as was mentioned in the interview.

The so-called interview from Komsomolskaya Pravda can be all made up. Has someone really heard Spassky's alleged version of facts, or just read it ?

M.A. in Conflict Resolution
Conflict at both intergroup and interpersonal levels is a dominant theme of the human condition in the twenty-first century. Numerous violent international conflicts persist in Afghanistan, Iraq, Colombia, and the Middle East. At the domestic level, tensions and conflicts also extend along divisions based on religion, race, ethnicity, social class, culture, and language. Moreover given the increasing strain on the world's environment, conflict over limited resources such as water, is likely to increase. The need for conflict resolution practitioners and researchers is urgent, and likely to increase in the harsh economic climate ahead.
As a major research university steeped in Jesuit traditions and blessed with international reach and talent, Georgetown University is meeting this global and national need by developing additional strengths in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. With a long-standing tradition of promoting innovative research and practice to address conflicts around the world, the university has an outstanding cadre of faculty from across a multitude of disciplines. The work of these faculty and Georgetown students alike serves to empower researchers, policymakers, and practitioners with the knowledge and tools to advance more peaceful international relations. Furthermore, as an institution, Georgetown University is engaged with other organizations and individuals in the field through numerous initiatives including the US Afghan Women's Council, the inter-faith dialogue Common Word Conference, and a partnership with the Parents Circle-Families Forum that gathers grassroots peacebuilders in Israel and Palestine.
Using the foundation of Georgetown's considerable talents in government, psychology, business, law, and international relations, the Conflict Resolution Program has rapidly developed an impressive national and international reputation. Housed in the Department of Government, the two-year multidisciplinary Master of Arts program accepted its first cohort of students in the 2005-2006 academic year. In only its fifth year, the program is on track to achieve its initial vision of establishing a world-class conflict resolution program. The program is training the next generation of researchers and practitioners with the essential skills and multi-disciplinary knowledge to effectively analyze and intervene in the complex conflicts challenging the world. Investment in conflict resolution is the most humane, just, and cost-effective manner to deal with conflicts at both interpersonal and intergroup levels.
Students graduating from the program have established successful careers in government, non-governmental organizations, and private sector businesses.
