While this may be an entirely new concept in dating, most of us are already pretty familiar with the idea of buying a first date. It's been done many times at charity events, where guys and girls volunteer themselves to be bid out as dates! However, besides these charity events, an economic model of pricing and paying for a first date did not exist in the real world ... until now.
Based on a patent pending dating system (US Patent Pending: Application No. 61407831), WhatsYourPrice.com provides a platform where generous and attractive singles can negotiate and agree on a price for a first date. By providing this additional monetary incentive, WhatsYourPrice.com is able to help people meet those they really want to meet - Guaranteed!

And, if you're an attractive user, name the price you want to get paid for the first date. Our offer negotiating system will allow you to accept an offer, reject an offer, or counter with a different price.
Send a message to setup a date!
Once an offer is accepted, you're ready to plan the date. Simply write a message to schedule a time and place for your first date. It's simple and it's fun!

Cheese May Reduce Risk for DiabetesPosted: Saturday, July 28, 2012
The chance of developing type 2 diabetes, a condition often linked with obesity, could be reduced by around 12 per cent by regularly snacking on cheese, scientists said.
Although high in saturated fat, it may be rich in types of the fat that could be good for the body, they believe.
Fatty foods have long been thought to raise the risks, but uncertainty about the role of dairy products such as milk, butter, cheese and yogurt, has continued. Most other dairy foods did not have the same beneficial effect as cheese, with the possible exception of yoghurt, the research found.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of the condition and occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin for it to function properly. Symptoms can be controlled by eating a healthy diet and monitoring your blood glucose level, but sufferers may also need to take insulin medication.
The published findings on the effect of cheese, come from one of the largest ever studies to look at the role of diet in health.
One reason why cheese lovers may be at less risk of diabetes could be that the fermentation process triggers some kind of reaction that protects against diabetes and heart problems, the researchers said. But Diabetes UK warned against eating more cheese until the results were confirmed in other studies. Dr. Iain Frame, director of research, said: "It is too simplistic to concentrate on individual foods." "We recommend a healthy balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables and low in salt and fat."
"This study gives us no reason to believe that people should change their dairy intake in an attempt to avoid the condition."

Cheese lovers can reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by 12%.

The 25 best basslines of all time
26th Feb 2013 | 16:38
Make It Funky - James Brown (Fred Thomas)
BASS EXPO In an effort to pay proper tribute to the best bassists, we asked you to nominate your favourite basslines of all time in an effort to crown the greatest bass performance in history. With approximately 10,000 of you voting in our poll, we can now present the top 25 rundown in full.
The rules were simple - as long as the part in question was played by human hands on an electric or acoustic bass guitar or an upright bass then it counted. Electronic or synthesized basslines weren't eligible; we'll be looking at those at a later date.
Click onwards to not only reveal the winner, but also check out what is probably the most essential bass playlist ever compiled featuring legendary session players, global megastars and contemporary bass heroes too. First up, here's a little something to make your ass shake...
Make It Funky
Released as a two-part single in 1971, then followed up with Make It Funky Parts 3 & 4 on Brown's Get On The Good Foot album a year later, this stoned and sexy groove is in many a hip-hop classic's DNA.
In The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett (Donald 'Duck' Dunn)
This much-covered Atlantic Records soul classic from Wilson Pickett was born in '65 but has never stopped getting heavy rotation. 'Duck' Dunn's killer bassline was a huge influence on Paul McCartney as his style developed.
These Boots Are Made For Walkin' - Nancy Sinatra (Carol Kaye/Chuck Berghofer)
This Lee Hazlewood-penned Nancy Sinatra smash hit from 1966 features one of the most distinctive bass intros in history. Read the story of how it went down in our exclusive interview with Carol Kaye.
Pusherman - Curtis Mayfield (Joseph 'Lucky' Scott)
There's cool and then there's ice cold. From Curtis Mayfield's Super Fly soundtrack in 1972, Pusherman is underpinned beautifully by Joseph 'Lucky' Scott, the man you voted as the 25th greatest bassist of all time back in 2010.
Super Freak - Rick James (Oscar Alston)
From Super Fly to Super Freak. Rick James may have done plenty of posing with basses been a capable all-rounder, but it was Oscar Alston who laid down this cheeky groove in 1981, later the inspiration for a man with some of the baggiest trousers in living memory.
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith (Tom Hamilton)
One might imagine that it's hard to get much attention when you are in a band with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, but for once it's Tom Hamilton in the spotlight in this classic from 1975.
The Guns Of Brixton - The Clash (Paul Simonon)
Clash bassist Paul Simonon wrote and sung this claustrophobic, reggae-influenced cut from 1979 and it was later covered extensively and sampled to great effect.
Stand By Me - Ben E King (Wendell Marshall)
If any bassline in this rundown can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck then it's this. Written by King with Leiber and Stoller, it was Mike Stoller who sat down at the piano and picked out the bass part as King sang the beginnings of the melody. The lovely upright line on the recording was performed with consummate feel by Wendell Marshall.
What's Going On - Marvin Gaye (James Jamerson)
We could happily compile a top 25 greatest basslines of all time and only include Jamerson basslines, but this 1971 masterpiece is wonderful even by his incomparably high standards. Read our James Jamerson profile to find out how this part came into existence.
Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed (Herbie Flowers)
One of the standout tracks from Lou Reed's incredible 1972 album Transformer, this David Bowie-produced classic saw bassist Herbie Flowers scoop a double session fee when he overdubbed his upright line with a fretless electric.
The Chicken - Jaco Pastorius
Bass Week has already seen us look back on the all too brief career of the hugely talented Pastorius, and his appearance in this rundown was always a certainty. Here's one of many stellar performances of this live favourite...
Good Times - Chic (Bernard Edwards)
Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards' 1979 composition was a huge disco hit but that's only half the story. One of the most-sampled records in history, an onstage jam at Bonds nightclub in NYC would spawn Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight, while the bassline was a huge influence on Queen's Another One Bites The Dust, released the following year.
Taxman - The Beatles (Paul McCartney)
As Paul McCartney's bass playing became more adventurous and drew on the transatlantic soul influence of Motown and Stax recordings he hit upon a style that is one of the most recognisable in the history of the instrument. His bass work on George Harrison's wonderful Revolver opener is among his best and its influence would continue to resonate in the decades that followed.
The Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones)
Borrowing heavily from Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor, The Lemon Song saw Zeppelin perform virtually live in Hollywood's Mystic Studios in 1969, with Jones pulling an intricate bass take out of the bag that was apparently almost entirely improvised.
Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Flea)
The lead single from 1991's multi-million selling Blood Sugar Sex Magik was largely the result of Flea and John Fruciante's jam sessions during their time in post-Mother's Milk side project H.A.T.E. Once Anthony Kiedis heard it, he was sold: "I was so struck by Flea's bass part, which covered the whole length of the instrument's neck, that I jumped up and marched over to the mic, my notebook in tow."
Schism - Tool (Justin Chancellor)
Released in 2001, Schism was the first single from their album of the following year, Lateralus. An incredibly complex piece of work from a meter standpoint, it also sees Justin Chancellor more than earn his money during that intro.
My Generation - The Who (John Entwistle)
The bass solo that it's cool to like was recorded on 13 October 1965, with John Entwistle turning to his Fender Jazz Bass after breaking a succession of strings on the Danelectro that he'd intended to use for the part. Alongside Moon's chaos, Townshend's aggression and Daltrey's amphetamine stutter, a classic statement of youth rebellion was born.
Roundabout - Yes (Chris Squire)
Co-written by Squire in 1971, after its moody acoustic guitar intro, Roundabout features a surprisingly funky bass riff from 0:44 onwards that is the dictionary definition of the Rickenbacker bass sound that the Yes bassist made his own.
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Louis Johnson)
In hindsight, it's hard to believe that producer Quincy Jones felt that Billie Jean was too weak to be considered for inclusion on Thriller. The bassline went on to become one of the most recognisable in pop history, but it certainly still owes plenty to I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall & Oates.
Orion - Metallica (Cliff Burton)
Another huge bass talent with an all too brief recording career, Cliff Burton's outrageous lead bass work on Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth) from Metallica's 1983 debut album marked him out as something special from the word go. 1986's Orion was his masterpiece.
Money - Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)
7/4 isn't the exactly the most common time signature in rock but it certainly didn't stop the opening track on side two of The Dark Side Of The Moon from attaining classic status. We can't help thinking that David Gilmour was onto something when he insisted that the band shift to 4/4 for his guitar solo.
Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie (John Deacon)
We've already highlighted the formidable bass skills of Queen's John Deacon as part of Bass Week, and Under Pressure proves just how effective the simplest of rhythmic riffs can be. Vanilla Ice certainly agrees.
Another One Bites The Dust - Queen (John Deacon)
The only bassist to have two basslines in our rundown might have won the whole thing if Queen fans' votes hadn't been split between Under Pressure and this. Deacon was certainly influenced by Chic's Good Times but the lean, funky, bass-driven AOBTD has racked up an astonishing amount of airplay over the years and remains immensely popular.
YYZ - Rush (Geddy Lee)
Rush fans voted in their thousands for this one, and they very nearly took the 1981 instrumental to the very top of the poll. A live staple in which all members excel, there's some seriously impressive bass work from Geddy Lee, not to mention simultaneous synth multitasking too.
Hysteria - Muse (Chris Wolstenholme)
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. A massive 23 percent of you voted Hysteria from Muse's 2003 album Absolution into first place. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme certainly takes centre stage on this track with his intricate, processed bass riff driving the song along and providing a fat bedrock for Matt Bellamy's guitar histrionics. Congratulations Muse!

The reason I'd say go with digital is because most older analog tuners will need an alignment/restoration to give you their full potential. A tuner alignment cannot be done without special equipment and knowledge. I don't care how good of a DIY'er you are, Tuner alignment is a different boat.
On the other hand, most digital tuners from the late 80's/early 90's will be fine without an alignment.
Some recommended models:
Sony ST-S550ES or basically any of the ES tuners. Just beware of the models that have the 'audio current transfer' outputs because they have a special output cable.
Yamaha TX-5xx, or TX-7xx. The 5xx models go pretty cheap and are fine quality.
Pioneer models starting with F (there is a model F-445 on ebay right now that is almost too cheap to pass up)
Or, just about any Onkyo model. There is a T-4017 ending in a few hours that is only bid to $10. I had a T-407 that was fabulous. Stay away from the really low end models though (check FmTunerinfo)

Comments On Feb 14, 2014:Fit pretty well. Only had to trim the radiator fins and shrouds per the installation instructions. They are very tough and have stood up to a few pretty good spills that probably should have destroyed my radiators. Glad I bought them.

Comments On Sep 09, 2013:The braces add another inch to inch and a half to the width of each radiator. With the braces installed the radiator shroud would not screw back in. I had to stretch the shroud really far and it began turning the orange plastic white (stressing the plastic). I could not even come close to getting the lower screw into the shroud/gas tank. On a two stroke, this would only take a couple of rides before the vibration cracked the plastics. I took them off and am going to return them. Thankfully RMATV is really good about that. I think I'll try a different design of radiator guard.

Pretty sure it will only fit the 05 without moving the CDI unit, The 05 rotated the CDI box. EE Does sell a kit to relocate the CDI but I have not found that part number on EE Site. Would have to call them. Also not sure if the CDI EE Kit would fit on the 125sx. The kit moves the CDI under the gas tank, I tried to get my CDI to fit with no luck. I will be returning this and going with KTM Hard Parts. They are bent to fit around the CDI Box .

Bindrich: "Where does it begin, where does it stop?"
Falko Bindrich today denied that he cheated during the first Bundesliga weekend. In a document of five A4 pages, the 22 year old German grandmaster rejected the suspicion of fraud and declared that his smartphone was "always switched off".
Falko Bindrich responds to allegations of cheating | Photo © Georgios Souleidis courtesy of the Bundesliga
Last Monday we reported on the incident of suspected cheating in the Bundesliga. In Sunday's second round, Falko Bindrich's game against Sebastian Siebrecht (part of the match between SC Eppingen and Katernberg) was declared lost for Bindrich, who refused to show his smartphone when the arbiter asked him to do so. The German grandmaster went to the toilet while it was his move, something he had allegedly done more than once during his Saturday game as well. In a case of suspected cheating the Bundesliga regulations allow the arbiter to search a player's clothes, bags or other pieces of luggage.
Today the popular German website Schach-Ticker published a statement by Bindrich, consisting of five A4 pages. We translate and summarize it below.
In the document Bindrich gives a chronological description and his opinion of the events during the first Bundesliga weekend in Mülheim. He states that although he doesn't play many tournaments anymore, he "still likes to prepare for a game professionaly". Bindrich says that in his game last Saturday against Tregubov he got the same line had played against Andrei Istratescu, three weeks earlier in the Swiss league. He points out that he made use of his analysis of that game, including the exchange sacrifice he played.
However, after reaching a clear advantage I didn't play the best way possible, as anyone who plays through the game at home can easily establish.
Bindrich managed to win anyway, and his team defeated Mülheim 4.5-3.5.
After the game Pavel Tregubov hesitated to shake hands with me, and felt very insulted.
Then Bindrich starts describing his game against Siebrecht on Sunday.
After an hour I had visited the toilet for the second time (It was Sunday morning - I think it is normal to visit the toilet after breakfast?) to do what someone does at the toilet. The notion that I went to the toilet while it was my move, is simply false. A number of witnesses present can confirm this. In my 15 years spanning career, I have never done this.
Bindrich points out that he wasn't the only one who went to the toilet more than once, and wonders why he was investigated.
While returning to his board, he was stopped by the arbiter. Bindrich refused to empty his pockets and show his mobile. He continues to emphasize that his game against Tregubov wasn't played perfectly by him.
Is it really so unlikely that a grandmaster with 2530 Elo wins with white against a grandmaster with 2600 Elo?
Then Bindrich describes how he was followed to the toilet several times, and how the arbiter and his opponent looked under the door "if his feet showed anything suspicious". Bindrich wonders:
How far have we come? Tracking, spying, eavesdropping in the toilet?
Bindrich explains his decision to not show his phone like this:
First and foremost, I see it as a direct invasion of my privacy. I cannot just allow anyone access to my phone. It contains my private data (very private images and messages) and sensitive business data. I should protect this. Releasing this data would cost me my job, and I'd damage important relationships. I could not take this risk. It is true that I have, like many chess players, a chess app on my phone which has chess analysis stored, including an analysis of my game on Saturday against Tregubov, which I had entered after the game in my hotel room.
Bindrich then wonders why he needs to "prove that he's innocent".
In principle this is not acceptable to me. The rule of law has a higher value to me. (...) Luckily, we are protected by human and civil rights in our lives, so why should we give this up in chess? This new rule will allow arbiters, theoretically, to investigate and harass any player who has visited the toilet two times, which they can call "reasonable suspicion"!
The third reason for Bindrich to reject the arbiter's request was that he did not know who accused him of cheating.
It was said that these accusations came from the team captain of Mülheim. Why didn't he just approach me personally? This is another point, anyone can anonymously accuse someone, and there are no consequences.
Bindrich then makes an important point. He declares that he was never informed of the new Bundesliga regulation which allows the arbiter to search players.
At the 2010 and 2011 German Championships each player received a letter in which he was asked whether he would be willing to undergo a doping control or not. In the Bundesliga the players were not informed of a change in the tournament rules nor was a written consent obtained.
Meanwhile, the President of the German Chess Federation Herbert Bastian has given a short statement on the federation's website. He says that
the only one who has jurisdiction in this matter is the Director of the first Bundesliga, Jürgen Kohlstädt. He has given the affected player and his team the possibility to express their views and to be heard until November 2, 2012.
Until then the German Chess Federation "will not express an opinion in this discussion".

I think he's guilty because he said : "... It is true that I have, like many chess players, a chess app on my phone which has chess analysis stored, including an analysis of my game on Saturday against Tregubov, ...".
the temptation was too great to go see his analysis.

If he had just shown his phone none of this would have happened.
The easiest way is to not to allow phones. You bring a phone, leave it at the door or forfeit

Not feasible in general. People want to be able to call their family after the game to tell them when they'll be home, call to restaurants, and so on. If amateurs can't bring phones to the venue at all, they'll just stop playing.
It's different for professional events where the participants have a hotel room right next to the playing area, of course.
I think there is no other way to keep the sport clean. It could be feasible to collect them at the start of the game and hand them back after they finished. If someone urgently needs his phone during the game, he can only use it while being supervised by an arbiter. But this should be the absolut exception. I mean, if you are playing any other sport you are not using your mobile either. Why should it be different in chess?
1 year 5 months ago
Actually it is very feasible. Why not deposit phones at the front desk, where they give you a token with a number. After your game, go pick it up. Simple.
So borrow your coaches or a friends phone to call home...check out the extent contract bridge goes to stop cheating.

I think it's time to ban mobile phones from competitive chess events completely. I don't know if Bindrich cheated or not but I'm absolutely sure many chess players checked important variations secretly on their device during the game.
Herman Bastian => Herbert Bastian
Interesting how Bindrich attacks his opponents from Saturday, Sunday, the arbiter, and so on.
Did he do anything, on Sunday and in his statement to solve and settle things? I cannot find it.
1 year 5 months ago
His defence doesn't seem a very strong one to me and I don't agree at all with CV that he made an important point regarding not being informed of the new regulations. Surely the regulations are not secret? It is the duty of every player to know the rules and if he wants to blame anyone, then he should blame his team captain for not enlightening him in advance. Of course, a friendly organiser/arbiter would still make sure to mention the matter in a short speech before the start of the round.
When it comes to inspecting the phone, I don't believe for a second the arbiter was going to go through images and business documents. Certainly the team captain and the player would be overseeing the inspection and apart from checking if the phone was on and if so, which programs were running, there is not much more to do. The arbiter doesn't have time or skill to dig deeper than that and in any case it's hard to prove whether analysis and apps were used during the game or only before.
I do wonder what the organisers expect the players to do with their phones - did they have a supervised "cloak room"? How many of the other players had their phones on them (you are free to admit to it here)? As to why only one player was singled out doesn't seem very clear, and I hope the organisers quickly get statements from players, captains, arbiters and other witnesses. The repercussions from not producing the phone cannot be very great in themselves - loss of the game, a one round suspension and perhaps a small fine seems reasonable.
Since Saturday must have known about the problematic - latest point. I can't imagine that not his team captain, team mates did not point on that. Bindrich is a (semi) professional, chairman or president of the Amateur Chess Organisation which organised tournaments. IMO a tourney organiser or people involved in it knowing about the problematic with mobile phones and devices.
In the german speaking forum schachfeld.de you will find reasonable and unreasonable excuses for him. He wasnt caught with a smoking gun, but it was still a hot gun.
Re: How many of the other players had their phones on them (you are free to admit to it here)?
Players don't usually have their phone with them. They either leave it in the hotel room or give it to their team captain.

Obviously the argument that most of the game wasn't played perfectly doesn't mean that cheating didn't happen. It only means that a computer wasn't consulted on every move. That said, I think that the points about being informed of the rule change and not having a signed consent form are very good ones. It doesn't mean he didn't cheat, but it does mean that it's going to be very difficult if not impossible for the authorities to take any action. I think that some type of consultant from outside of the chess world needs to be brought in to come up with some practical suggestions on how to solve this issue. It's clear that those on the inside have singularly failed to get a grip of this.

as far as I can remember, players are solicited to switch off their cells before each and every game since the early naughties. not to mute or put in airplane mode but to switch the damn thing off. really, is it some ten years later so hard to ask them to pin-protect, turn off and put them in a small, locked safe next to the arbiter's desk??! then we would not have to hear from time to time these stupid explanations as to why a player visited the toilet this or that many times or how private the information he/she carries around are...
you mean put a 30$ phone inside a box with a 500$ phone? Or a separate box for each and every single phone?
Well, when I used to write exams in university, we were not allowed to use our phones either. We needed to put all our stuff at the side of the room. So you could watch your stuff making sure nobody who is done early steels it. You can watch it, but you cannot touch it without permission.
A few additions (partly to answer Frits Fritschy's questions from the previous thread):
Bindrich's exact words are "While I haven't played a tournament for one year for professional reasons, I am still motivated to give my best for the team and to prepare professionally." [so he has a near-fulltime job, professional has different meanings in the very same sentence]
About Natsidis, he writes "I find the media comparison suggesting near-equivalence with Natsidis disgusting. The suggestion that Natsidis and I are close friends is pure phantasy ("frei erfunden"). I know Natsidis for a long time because he also was a 'Kaderspieler' in Saxony, but have seen him only twice in the last 15 years!"
Herbert Bastian's statement on behalf of the federation says that _in the first instance_ jurisdiction lies with Kohlstädt. There will be no statement from the federation to avoid interfering with the proper procedures ("um die ordnungsgemässe Abwicklung des Verfahrens nicht zu beeinflussen").
As far as I understand, the Bundesliga isn't directly under the auspices of the federation but rather organized by the clubs themselves. Kohlstädt is also quoted by Schach-Ticker ( http://www.chess-international.de/?p=10824 ). He says that his eventual decision might include a request to the federation to ban the player (at that stage the federation would become involved). Against his decision, appeals will be possible at the tournament court of the Bundesliga and at regular courts. To be continued!!?

Late reaction, but that was for professional reasons. I already had found Bindrich at 22 is a CEO (falkobindrich.brandyourself.com), so he probably has lots of important data to shield. As a CEO, speculation is another thing you should shield yourself of. For the rest, I feel we more or less agree.
Let's look from a different angle. I'm a cheater. I know the FIDE rules, so I check my chess position on a private place and switch of my mobile before getting out. Nothing an arbiter can do - Ain't it great?
The FIDE rule has no meaning if behaviour like this can't be checked. Should be pretty obvious for a responsible CEO and a professional chessplayer with a 15 year career. Even when the means to check this aren't covered in the rules - which they were.
Somehow I think it's quite possible Bindrich did not cheat at all and never has - that it all comes down to a character problem.
The only reason for not showing his smartphone, is that it was switched ON.
On what Chessvibes/Peter Doggers considers an important point (new regulations weren't communicated to the player), I agree with joker: it is sufficient if they were communicated to the team captains. At the German championships, players represented themselves, in a team event they represent their clubs. It isn't even practical to communicate the regulations to all players, for two reasons:
- The team lineups may not have been finalized when the new rules were decided upon.
- Players come from many different countries, the organizers may not even have all (email) addresses.

I pity organizers for the thankless task of trying to prevent cheating in these technologically advanced times. Pretty soon, no one will want to go to the trouble of hosting anything other than top-level events. Those of us not in the "top 100" will be relegated to online play (and the wilds there...).

During a tournament I observed a player going twice to the little room. I only heard a little biep (and no clothes, toilet, toiletpaper) and saw him leaving without washing his hands. I reported to the arbiter with no prevail. And the player in question ended winning the tournament.
Point is that devices should be banned from playing hall at tournaments.
However as I prefere the loose atmosphere at my local club where I know everybody personally and trust all the members of my club. And so I prefere that there is no witch hunt at local clubs where social atmosphere prevails.

Maybe, if you're less occupied with eavesdropping for 'toilet paper noise' behind the lavatories and actually focus on your own game, you'll win a tournament too one day ;)

A tournament rule is legally thin ground for invasion of privacy. As I understand it that's why you have to sign for acknowledging the doping controls. I don't care much if they ban him or not. I would like to see rules and procedures that prevent such casual cheating in the first place. At the very least he has to leave his mobile with the arbiter when he goes somewhere out of sight.
If he keeps sensitive professional data on his phone it's wrong of him when he brings it to an event where the arbiter has the power to make him show it. Not informing himself about such rules is doubly irresponsible.
1 year 5 months ago
I would show my phone to the arbiter for him to check if it's on/off. If he wanted to switch it on and check what is in the phone I wouldn't let him. For me that is a breach of my privacy - just my opinion. Also it is not necessary to have chess software in the phone to cheat when phone with internet connection can remotely connect to any machine in the world (e.g. some running chess engine). Example: Teamviever for Android - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEofo1tWaoc . Simple.
The solution from my point of view - no mobiles in playing venue. Fairly easy to enforce for team events (when just a few teams play in a venue), not so easy for big individual/team tournaments.

No more phones allowed by anyone in the playing venue. If you can't live without your phone, don't show up to the playing hall. You cannot ban players from the bathroom, and going to the bathroom often or at strange times cannot be helped when you are not feeling well. And you cannot bother players when they are in there. So the only way to be certain that no one used a phone is to ban them. It is sad but true.

The entire story is puzzling me.
1. Bindrich has no financial or sportive incentive to cheat. Unless he is really very stupid.
2. In the game against Tregubov, the referee writes in his report that he stayed on the board in the critical period between 1,5 and 4,5 hours after the start of the game.
3. There should be no significant effect of consulting an engine in the first ten moves against Siebrecht. 4. ...e4 may be an exception because it involves some calculation, but I think a decent GM should be able to oversee this himself.
All this speaks for in dubio pro reo. But I am also surprised that he refused to hand in his cell phone -- after all, his own captain would have been involved into the investigation of the device. Also, the story about loss of job, sensible data etc. is only conditionally credible, to put it mildly.
So I don't know what to believe. That said, the decision of the referee to forfeit the game for Bindrich is correct according to the rules.
I agree that Bindrich probably did not cheat in the game against Siebrecht, but it might just be "not yet" - I do not make a judgement but try to follow the arbiter's point. Hence Bindrich could have continued the game without further consequences IF he had shown his mobile phone to the arbiter for a casual investigation (the arbiter cannot check whether any SMS messages etc. were received, read and then deleted) AND if he had left the phone in custody of his team captain for the rest of the game. As there was no cheating yet, Siebrecht would have agreed with this procedure, and would feel more comfortable during the rest of the game.
Regarding "no financial incentive", maybe but does it matter? People may cheat without apparent reason, for example amateur runners may use doping just to run faster times and boast with their results even if no prize money is involved.
Regarding sensitive data, the arbiter has in a way the same powers and duties as a policeman. I mean, if he finds something he wasn't even looking for, he has to keep it secret, not sharing it with anyone else, rather forgetting it immediately. Another story might only be if a player is involved in criminal activities, but that's speculative and verrry unlikely.

If asked , i'd show my smartphone to the referee just to let him/her check if it's turned on or off , not for anything else. Matter of privacy . Of course i have Shredder and Chessbase installed in it, but this would make me automatically guilty ?
Maybe organizers should create a toilet janitor ( a new FIDE title hehehe ) to whom the players should hand their devices off before entering the " red area " ( toilet boxes) ..hahaha

That's sounds so awesome and yes i am always looking forward that it's going to be a lot of fun. pmp exam questions
The simplist explanation of his behavior and post tourney BS is he's a cheater.

I've bought this swimsuit in black a year ago and LOVE it! The fit is perfect, and the quality of fabric is great, it doesn't deterioate after a number of washings (hang dry only). I've just ordered every color and cannot wait to wear them :)
Portland, Oregon
LOVE this swimsuit. Bought it in black and it's adorable. I'm buying another one. What a steal
I ordered this suit a year ago and finally received it yesterday! It is beautiful mine is the grape colored suit. The color is nice but what I really like about this suit is the top! It is so flatering on me I am 5'6'' and 129 lbs. and the top hugs my torso without being tight , just a nice comfortable fit. the bottom is perfect for older legs like mine there is a skirt to it that I didn't know about so its a bonus.! the price is right too 30.00 dollars for a bathing suit(tankini) is ideal these days.

NOT for busty women!
The description of this suit said it runs small and to buy a size up since I tend to be in between 2 sizes. Big mistake! The bottom is too large. And the bust of the suit has very little support, so the halter pulls on your neck as the suit slides downward and shows way too much of the bust. Maybe in the right size it would be better, but since swimwear is not returnable, I am stuck with it. Definitely do not order a size up.
Santa Cruz, CA
Love This!!
I love this suit! I am 5'5" and wear between a size 12 and 14....and this suit is amazing. It's slimming and hides some upper thigh flaws but doesn't look "old lady"- ish. It looks retro and cute.
Cute suit color not as described
I ordered this suit in Caribbean blue thinking it would be light blue (something like a aqua blue). It arrived and the blue was actually darker and not what I wanted. It also seems to be a little loose around the leg and would ride up. I would double check the Size Chart for accurate fit.
Love This!
Love This Suit! Comfortable and looks great and can't beat the price! It has a bra in it but I need more support (age 50) so I'm adding a more supportive bra and it looks great with that. Love the colors. I have dark hair and The Rose looks especially good. I also love the Caribbean Blue - great color for the beach! Note: I ordered a size 8, normally wear a 6 and the fit was good, not too tight but comfortable.
New Cumberland, PA
OMG So Suprised!
I am not one to write a review but I had to share because I am one that reads them. I have worn one piece skirted bathing suits for years (having children will do that). Being 42, 5'4" 150lbs I ordered the size 12. I am also 38D. This fits perfect. I ordered the Rose color. I was so surpised how much I loved it. How nice it was in cold water (hang to dry). I ordered the Blue since it is such a great price and two piece so much easier for bathroom breaks! This is a winner!

Nice suit!!
I really like this suit, but I was disappointed with how big the skirt on it was. I am 5'6" and weight 135, so I ordered Size 10, but could have gotten away with an 8. The top and brief part fit good, but the skirt was way to wide and flared out. It looked nothing like the picture. Fortunately, the skirt is only attached to the brief at the waist, so it was easy to alter it. I took it in 2" on each side and made it straight instead of flared. Now it is form fitting and looks like the picture. I am very happy with it after the altering.

Just Right Coverage
Love this suit! I feel very comfortable in it, just enough coverage but still stylish. I am not very comfortable in a swimsuit so this one rates 5 stars!
Radford, VA
GREAT suit! I bough it in black, and I absolutely love it!! It's comfy and fits great.
Riverside, RI
Great Quality For The Price
To start my review I want to tell you that this suit does run a bit large. I usually wear a size 16 and a 14 might have been better but this still fits well without binding anywhere. The fabric is absolutely luxurious, soft as silk. I bought the grape color and it's exactly as pictured.The bottom has a stretchy panel at the stomach to help hold it in, but since my suit is a bit too large it doesn't hold it very tightly. The top is comfortable and the ruched material gives a slimming appearance.I think I'm going to be happy with this suit. The quality overall plus the lavish color makes this suit look very expensive.I would definitely recommend this suit.
Love This Suit
I bought this suit to bring on a cruise. I have gained a lot of weight in the past year following surgery so I was looking for a suit that would conceal my worst body parts. This suit runs a little large. The material is extremely soft. the color grape I bought is vibrant and will look great with a tan. I notice that color is not available anymore but the Rose looks just as nice. I almost wish I had bought this suit in a size smaller than the size 16W that I ordered but it does seem to conceal my belly with the stretch panel inside the bottom. I think this is an excellent value for the money, It's a quality product.
I love the fit of this suit!!! I just got it yesterday and I am off to the pool today feeling very comfortable in it. It is very complimentary and makes me feel good not only on the outside, but the inside, too! I am very pleased with this purchase. I may go back and order another one in a different color!~Gretchen

love it
So pleased with the fit and color of this suit. Fits perfectly and shipped quickly. I love the fact that the top is long enough to cover my hips. I don't have to worry about my it coming up, it just lays perfectly. Skirt is cute and fits great too. Happy, happy!
Ogden, Utah
Exacting what I expected. Ordered in Caribbean and it is just what I wanted. Suit helps to hide flaws and is modest but stylish!

Love this Suit!
Ordered this suit in purple - am going to order it in every color. I am 65 years young, wear a size 6 & a 36-D top - the fit was perfect and everyone compliments on the suit - it is definitely flattering and not "old lady"!
Riverside, CA
Needs improvement
I bought the pink and it was more of a purply-pink. And the ruched needs some improvement. It does not fit as sleekly as it does on the model and it kind of droopy. And the same thing for the fit along the bust line. Not sure whether I am going to keep it because of this.
Tonawanda, NY
ordered this in pink, fit is perfect, color is beautiful. I stress out every year and try on lots of swim suits. I saw the price and thought I'd give this a try. Very pleased with purchase. Arrived in 3 days too. The price was half of what I usually pay for a suit. Thank you Chadwicks!

Junior cadet to be honored with ceremony Thursday night
Published: Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Updated: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 11:10
Caleb Tate, junior university studies major and member of Company P-2, died Tuesday evening from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, a hospital official said.
Corps Commander Eric Gil said Tate will be honored at an Echo Taps ceremony at 10:30 p.m. Thursday on the Quad.
Tate was traveling on a motorcycle northbound on Texas Avenue when a convertible, occupied by two people, pulled out in front of him from Southwest Parkway, according to a press release from the College Station Police Department.
CSPD said Tate suffered incapacitating injuries from the collision and was transferred to the College Station Medical Center. The occupants of the convertible suffered non-incapacitating injuries and were also sent to the medical center.
Echo Taps is a Corps of Cadets tradition held for national tragedies and to remember current members of the Corps who pass away. It is similar to Silver Taps, but geared more toward cadets, and takes place soon after the occurrence of the event.
During the Echo Taps ceremony, one bugler plays a rendition of "Silver Taps" at the end of the Quad and a second bugler at the opposite end of the Quad echoes it shortly thereafter. Immediately following the ceremony, the cadets return to their dorms in silence.
Though the ceremony is tailored more toward cadets, it is open to anyone willing to pay their respects.

The Anniston-based hospital announced the purchase of Jacksonville Medical — now named RMC-Jacksonville — more than two weeks ago, but administrators there have still not revealed details about the purchase, including how much money changed hands. RMC officials say the hospital is exempt from the state's Open Records Act under the Health Care Authorities Act, enacted in 1982 to create a level playing field of competition among public hospitals.
However, a state Supreme Court decision in 2010 stated that the Health Care Authorities Act did not exempt a public hospital from complying with open records law.
David McCormack, CEO of RMC, a nonprofit hospital with a board appointed by local governments, has said a confidentiality agreement between RMC and the seller, Tennessee-based Capella Healthcare, prevents him from revealing contract details. McCormack sent The Star an email Thursday that contained information about the Health Care Authorities Act that he said supported the confidentiality agreement.
"The state statute says we can't do it," McCormack said Monday regarding the release of the sales price.
Further attempts to reach McCormack on Thursday to discuss the statute and the Supreme Court case were unsuccessful.
In a separate Thursday email to The Star, Beth Wright, spokeswoman for Capella, also declined to reveal the final purchase price of the Jacksonville hospital.
"We are not able to provide the purchase price due to a confidentiality agreement that is part of the contract," Wright wrote.
However, Dennis Bailey, an attorney for the Alabama Press Association, argued that as a hospital with a board appointed by local governments, RMC was subject the state's open records law.
"There is no such statute," Bailey wrote in an email to The Star. "There is a case indicating the opposite."
The case in question is the 2010 Tennessee Valley Printing Co. v. Health Care Authority of Lauderdale County and the city of Florence. In that case, the Health Care Authority had sold two public hospitals and would not release to the Florence newspaper The TimesDaily financial details about the transactions, arguing the Health Care Authorities Act exempted it from open records law. It had also promised confidentiality to bidders.
The Alabama Supreme Court, however, ruled that as a governmental public entity, the Health Care Authority was subject to the state's Open Records Act.
The Supreme Court noted that, "a private party cannot render public records exempt from disclosure merely by designating information it furnishes a governmental agency confidential. The right to examine these records is a right belonging to the public; it cannot be bargained away by a representative of the government."
RMC-Jacksonville is an 89-bed hospital that opened in 1976 as Jacksonville Hospital under city ownership. It was sold to private owners in 1996 for $15.3 million. Regional Medical Center is a 338-bed facility that opened in 1944 and employs more than 1,300 people.

Start date for Basingstoke's Alençon Link improvements
Thursday, 18 April 2013
Work will start on 22 April, on a £1.5 million scheme to make the Alençon Link in Basingstoke easier and safer for everyone to use, as well as making the entrance to the town centre more attractive.
The main focus of the improvement plans is to create an open, more attractive environment with an avenue of new trees planted and an overgrown bank on the north side removed, providing more natural light for a new, shared use pedestrian and cycle path.
The new path will make for easier access to the town centre, with better footways on the south side and the replacement of the existing subway with a signal controlled, pedestrian crossing at road level. This will be between the Chapel Hill roundabout and the exit ramp from The Malls car park, making it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road. These are further to the improvements already undertaken on the Alençon Link, following those at The Malls, the rail station and bus stops.
The developer funded scheme is expected to be completed by the end of November. During the construction period, the Alençon Link will operate as a one-way street between Chapel Hill Roundabout and Victory Roundabout, and there will be signed diversion routes in operation.
The County Council took into account people's concerns about the Alençon Link during consultation for the Town Access Plan. A number of people commented that they did not feel that it was a safe route into the town. These views and others were important in shaping the final design for the Alençon Link improvements scheme.
Owing to the scale of work involved, the County Council has warned that there will be some inevitable disruption during the construction period but it has ensured that the traffic management arrangements keep the impact of this to a minimum. The County Council's advice is to allow extra time for journeys, particularly at peak hours of travel.

As the plastic camera craze continues to sweep the nation and film begins to experience a long overdue comeback, many people are left to wonder what the driving force behind this movement is.
The story of Lomography begins back in 1982 when a Russian government official challenged a comrade of his (who happened to own LOMO Russian Arms and Optical factory) to replicate a Cosina CX-1 that was manufactured in Japan. Later that year, the LOMO factory rolled out the LC-A, an improved version of the Japanese compact camera, and mass production began two years later in 1984.
International interest in the LC-A was sparked in 1991 when the camera was discovered by two Viennese students who stumbled upon the communist gem in an old camera shop in Prague. After returning to Vienna, friends, family, and passersby of the students fell in love with the images that had been created with the camera and interest in importing the cameras began.
If 1982 was the spark of Lomography, then 1992 was the big bang. Since interest in the little commie camera had grown so quickly (resulting in backpack raids in Russia to acquire more cameras) the Vienna City council took note and aided the movement by donating an empty house for Lomographic operations. Later, this house served as the location of the first Lomography exhibition, where 700 LC-A's were sold, and the very first LomoWall (a defining feature of Lomography Gallery Stores) was constructed.
In the years since the first exhibition, Lomography has seen an astronomical rise in popularity largely due to their community-like structure. Since 1992 Lomography has: launched a website, created a Lomo Embassy in Berlin, and held simultaneous exhibitions in New York City and Moscow (1994), convinced Russian manufacturers to continue producing the LC-A (1996), hosted a Lomographic World Congress in Madrid (1997), begun opening Lomography stores (2001), and launched a line of fashion items (2003). Additionally, Lomo has been introducing innovative toy cameras to the market since 1998 and they unveiled their first in-house camera in 2000.
Before the advent of Facebook and Twitter, there was Lomography – the original social network.

The weather is changing and the spring cleaning is beginning. As you tackle the cluttered areas of your home and work, you may come across some plastic film canisters that hold 35mm film. These canisters have several secondary uses beyond their film storing use.
We would like to share with you a few creative ideas to give these canisters a second purpose. Donating these film canisters to your local photography specialty store can also provide a second purpose for them. Often we have customers and local organizations asking us for these to use for their own creative projects.
First Aid Kit
To make a first aid kit, clean out with soap and water. Put in a few band-aids and alcohol wipes. Poke a hole in lid and string through yarn to carry around your neck.
Portable Fishing Rig
With a film canister, you can make a portable fishing rig. Keep the line and hook inside, and the canister itself snaps onto the line as your bobber. When not in use, the line does not wrap around your other possessions, and the hook does not snag on fingers or clothing.
Cat Toy
A film canister can also be a highly amusing cat toy. They roll into more of the places cats like to play, and can also be tossed up a few inches into the air by a cat. You can put a jingle bell inside or something that will rattle. This is safe, because cats almost never chew their toys like dogs do. Just be sure you collect them all if you bring a dog or a baby into the house, or if you add a cat large enough to swallow them (unlikely).
Portable Spice or Pill Container
When heading out to on a trip, the film canisters can be used to store spices, condiments, or pills in smaller amounts than you would store at home.
Seed Storage
Use the canisters to save the seeds I pick from flowers or the plants in my garden. I put a slip of paper in with the seeds and the date I picked them.
Sewing Kit
You can put together a small emergency sewing kit in a film canister. Take a few different colors of thread and wind them around a small piece of cardboard that is short enough to fit inside the canister. Add a needle and a few safety pins, and you are all set. If you want to have scissors, too, you can find one of those small pocket knives with the scissors, or even just the knife blade if you are careful. Bring the canister with you when you are shopping to be sure the knife fits.
Money Storage
Use the film canisters to keep quarters in, usually one in my purse and another in my car. Whenever I want to purchase a newspaper or a soft drink out of a machine, I have the correct change with me. This could also be used for emergency gas money if you put a $5 bill in the canister.
Portable Aromatherapy
I've been introduced to aromatherapy and find that peppermint works extremely well for my headaches and lavender helps me relax when I'm feeling stressed. Since I don't want to carry the glass bottles in my briefcase, I fill Fuji cannisters near to the top with Epsom salts, add a few drops of essential oil and make a label for the blend. I can pop off the top and inhale deeply without offending my co-workers with my oil's lingering scent.
Rubber Stamps for Little Hands
Use the empty film canisters to mount rubber stamps on. Glue the stamp to the bottom, easy to hold onto while stamping the image. This could also help someone with arthritis who might need a larger handle to hold onto.
Pet Tags
When vacationing or visiting a friend, I cut two slits--approximately 1/2 inch apart--in the side a film canister and insert my dog's collar through the slits. Inside the canister I place a piece of paper with the following: dog's name, my name, address, home and cell phone numbers, vet information, where we are staying on vacation, etc. If the dog is staying at our friend's house, I put their information on the paper too. You can fit so much more vital information on the paper than what is on their ID tags.
Match Stick Holder
Before your next camping trip, glue sandpaper to the outside of the film canister and lid - then place your stick matches inside. Now you have waterproofed matches & somewhere to strike them!
Mini Moroccas
Paint the craft sticks black. Decorate the sticks and the containers using colored vinyl tape. Cut a slit in the tops to hold the craft sticks securely. Fill containers half full with rice, beans or beads. Replace the tops. Push in the crafts sticks.
For further information on the safety of using these plastic canisters for other purposes, visit the Kodak's website to read their official statement.
