And this is one of the very first photos I took last night. I tried to restrain myself and wait for daylight, and maybe learn how to use it other than using auto settings, but I just couldn't wait. And here's what I got:
I know it's a lot of flash and I don't know how to edit, but look at those eyes! If you zoomed in you could SEE me in her eyes.
I'm in love.
Ivy is also so stylishly wearing on her head our very favorite Aden+Anais muslin wrap. I'm actually under there with her- it makes a great tent, swaddle blanket, spit up catcher, booger wiper, nursing cover (or even better- belly fat hider when you are nursing), changing pad, sun blocker, you name it... we have like 10 of them and I can't get enough.
Aden+Anais knows I'm a huge fan and are so generously offering a giveaway to one of you! You can choose from the Winter Warmth Swaddles or Dream Blankets. Just leave a comment letting me know which one you'd choose, or if you have another favorite from their collection. I'll choose one winner at random next Wednesday April 8 sometime after 11:59 PM.
Congrats to the winner- Rachel from Starting Out!
I heard it was spring somewhere but it definitely isn't here. You can get the Aden+Anais Winter Warmth Swaddles for $29.95 and Dream blankets for $39.95 by using promo code: wintersale .

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.

Jagex is a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), the UK Internet 'Hotline' for the public to report their inadvertent exposure to online child sexual abuse content hosted anywhere in the world and criminally obscene and incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK.
The IWF was founded by the Internet industry in 1996 and works in partnership with the police, government, the wider online sector and the public to combat the availability of potentially illegal online content within its remit. As a result of this self-regulatory approach, less than 1% of online child sexual abuse content has apparently been hosted in the UK since 2003, down from 18% in 1997.
All IWF industry members help to fund the organisation's work, support its aims and have adopted the IWF Code of Practice. We work together to ensure UK networks provide the most hostile environment for hosting child sexual abuse images and to protect UK Internet users from inadvertent exposure to such content.
Through the 'Hotline' reporting system, the IWF helps the online industry combat abuse of its services through a 'notice and take-down' initiative by alerting them to potentially illegal content within IWF's remit on their systems and enabling the police to investigate those responsible. This partnership approach is recognised internationally and the IWF is committed to sharing its good practice, expertise and experience around the world, contributing to dialogue beyond the UK and Europe, to ensure greater awareness of global issues and responsibilities.

Comments On Jan 22, 2014:As with all wheel bearing kits, I always pop the seals out and add grease. These bearings had less grease than the expensive bearing kits. However, that is the only thing different that I could find. They have a dozen or so rides in the winter of northwest Washington and are still in good shape.

Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter (some time earlier, the Earl of Sandwich had the idea of putting a filling between two slices of bread) and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
This pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880's upper-class and society women would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o'clock.
Afternoon Tea at The Wordsworth is a modern twist on the traditional affair served in our beautifully appointed lounges or conservatory with a selection of freshly baked handmade cakes, scrumptious scones and delicious sandwiches using the very best of locally sourced produce and artisan breads. Afternoon tea is served with one of our speciality teas or coffees, if you feel like a real treat why not add a glass of champagne... or two!
We serve Monday to Sunday between 12pm and 5pm:
Full Afternoon Tea - £17.50 per person
Pre-booked Full Afternoon Tea - 2 for £30
Champagne Full Afternoon Tea - £22.50 per person

Penobscot Bay
Few could deny that Penobscot Bay is one of Maine's most dramatically beautiful regions. Its more than 1,000 miles of coastline is made up of rocky granite boulders, often undeveloped shores, a sprinkling of colorful towns, and views of the sea and islands that are a photographer's dream.
Penobscot Bay stretches 37 miles from Port Clyde in the south to Stonington, the little fishing village at the tip of Deer Isle, in the north. The bay begins where the Penobscot River, New England's second-largest river system, ends, near Stockton Springs, and terminates in the Gulf of Maine, where it is 47 miles wide. It covers an estimated 1,070 square miles and is home to more than 1,800 islands.
Initially, shipbuilding was the primary moneymaker here. In the 1800s, during the days of the great tall ships (or Down Easters, as they were often called), more wooden ships were built in Maine than any other state in the country, and many were constructed along Penobscot Bay. This golden age of billowing sails and wooden sailing ships came to an end with the development of the steam engine. By 1900, sailing ships were no longer a viable commercial venture in Maine. However, as you will see when traveling the coast, the tall ships have not entirely disappeared—some, albeit tiny in number compared to the 1800s heyday, have been revived as recreational boats known as windjammers. Today, once again, there are more tall ships along Penobscot Bay than anywhere else in the country.

Shabby Chic Shadow Box
Add interest to a wood shadow box by carving the edge with X-ACTO® tools!
Courtesy of Craft Marketing Connections, Inc.
Material List
- X-ACTO® Heavy Duty Utility Knife
- X-ACTO® Z Series #1 Knife with Cap
- X-ACTO® Z Series Blades
- Self Healing Cutting Mat, 12"x12"
- CraftBond™ All Purpose Glue Stick
- Vintage Shadow Box, 7.8"x7.8"x3.9"
- Design Master® Colortool® Spray Color – October Brown and Vanilla
- Scrapbook Patterned Paper, 12"x12" – Blue Victorian

- Bird, 2½"x4"
- Bird Nest, 4"
- Old Candle
- Sandpaper, 100-grit
- Newspapers
- Flat Head Screwdriver

Project Instructions
Use screwdriver to carefully remove hangers from back of shadow box. Set aside until instructed to reattach.
Place self healing mat on table with shadow box down on mat, front side up. Hold X-ACTO® Heavy Duty Utility Knife with X-ACTO® Z Series Blade in one hand against top edge of shadow box, with elbow braced on table to prevent slipping. Keep other hand safely behind, holding shadow box from behind where blade is cutting. With knife blade almost parallel to cutting surface, push knife away from you about ¾"–1" to cut a chip from edge. (Create a scooping motion to make the chip.) Note that on front of shadow box, there are two "edges" – an inside edge and an outside edge. Trim both edges as directed above on all four sides. Then go back and cut top surface between edges irregularly, too. Work carefully, always keeping non-knife hand away from blade. If wood splinters, make a short cut away from you; turn shadow box around to make another short cut away from you that meets the first. Always brace fingers, palms and elbows to prevent slipping and brace shadow box on mat. Use X-ACTO® Z Series #1 knife to clean up any small areas of chips or splinters.
In a well-ventilated, newspaper-covered area, spray inside and outside of shadow box with October Brown. Let dry. Using old candle, rub entire shadow box (inside and outside) to coat with layer of wax. Similarly, spray with two light coats Vanilla. Let thoroughly dry. Use sandpaper to scuff the surface and randomly sand through paint areas for a distressed look.
Apply glue stick to back edge of shadow box. Place shadow box, glued-side down, on right side of scrapbook paper. Using #1 knife on self healing mat, cut around outside of box to trim away excess paper. Let dry. Reattach hanging hardware if desired or allow box to set on table.
Referring to image, arrange twigs, nest and bird in shadow box. Use craft snips to trim twigs to length. Use glue gun to attach pieces.

This is the dirt-detecting Roomba that removes 50% more dirt than previous generations. It is the first of its kind to forgo typical vacuum brushes and instead uses two rubber rollers that rotate in opposite directions and have angled treads that increase suction to ensure superior debris removal. Integrated optical sensors detect dirty areas and acoustic sensors determine when the vacuum is working harder, prompting Roomba 880 to concentrate on these areas. Made by iRobot, developers of tactical reconnaissance robots for the U.S. military, Roomba 880 analyzes the dimensions of a room, determines the optimal cleaning path, and autonomously cleans the floor while navigating around furniture and stairs. The cleaning head automatically adjusts to accommodate carpets or hard floors and dual HEPA filters capture dirt particles as fine as 0.3 microns. It can be scheduled to automatically clean up to seven times per week or prompted to spot clean. Roomba 880 automatically returns to its charging base when its battery runs low and the two included Virtual Wall lighthouses project infrared beams that confine the vacuum to one room and direct it to another room when it is finished cleaning. Includes extra HEPA filter and four C batteries for lighthouses. Only available for delivery in the U.S. and Canada. 14" Diam x 3 3/4" H. (8 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Superior Suction Dirt Detecting Robotic Vacuum comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

During their four years on College Hill, majority and minority students encounter, sometimes for the first time, faculty, staff and other students with views, backgrounds and experiences that differ from their own. Such valuable encounters provide opportunities for students to enjoy the types of dialogue and debate that lead to intellectual and personal growth. Since engaging with diverse views and experiences is an important part of education, the College fosters such interaction through its hiring practices, student recruitment efforts, financial aid programs, curricular offerings, and social and cultural initiatives. Ultimately, our commitment to inclusiveness helps ensure that new members of the community feel they are on equal standing from the day they join the campus and that all community members feel respected and valued.
The Days-Massolo Center promotes diversity awareness and fosters dialogue among the many groups on campus. All events are free and open to the public.

Bob Parks is founder of the Virginia Outdoor Lighting Taskforce (VOLT), an all-volunteer, non-profit, grassroots advocacy group since 2000. Its mission is to promote safe and efficient outdoor lighting. VOLT has been successful helping localities in Virginia to enact lighting ordinances and was instrumental in the passage of legislation to require that all state facilities purchase only full cut-off fixtures.
Mr. Parks is an avid amateur astronomer and past president of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club, the largest of its kind in the United States. He has been a member of International Dark-Sky Association since 2000. In 2005, he founded the Almost Heaven Star Party at Spruce Knob, WV, one of the darkest observing sites on the East Coast.
In March of 2009, Mr. Parks joined IDA to launch the Washington Office for Public Policy and Government Affairs. As managing director, he was charged with keeping Congress and federal agencies up-to-date regarding IDA's mission and its issues. In addition, he is working to build a coalition of environmental and energy organizations that have parallel goals to reduce light pollution, conserve energy, and preserve the natural environment.
In June 2010 the IDA Board appointed Mr. Parks as Executive Director. Follow Bob on Twitter @darkskyone

Scott Kardel has always had a love for astronomy and the universe. Growing up in the desert on the edge of Tucson, Arizona gave him a strong connection to the sky and the environment. He used that connection first to become a high school earth science teacher, where he installed an observatory for his school.
After completing a Master's Degree in astronomy from the University of Arizona, Scott took his passion for the stars to Kansas, where he served as assistant director for the Lake Afton Public Observatory. Prior to coming to IDA, Scott served for eight years as the public affairs coordinator for Palomar Observatory. He directed their public outreach program and was the observatory's representative on light pollution issues. He is a lifetime member of the IDA and was awarded the IDA's Executive Director Special Award in 2007.

Matt has been with IDA since 2006. He currently works with lighting manufacturers, designers, and distributors to certify products through the IDA Fixture Seal of Approval (FSA) program. Knowledgeable in photometry with a keen interest in the aesthetics of fixture design, Matt enjoys seeing the innovation of lighting experts firsthand. Well aware that a variety of lighting must be used to achieve any quality outdoor lighting plan, Matt has worked to expand the FSA program from public and commercial lighting to include residential applications and dark sky friendly devices. Matt helps promote this and other IDA programs at lighting trade shows and conferences across the country.
Matt grew up in Maryland and received a bachelor's degree in art and design at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. His interest in architecture and green design is applied in both his professional and his personal life. In his spare time, he enjoys working on architectural paintings which he shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the UK.
Susan has worked for IDA since 2004. The longest-serving current employee, she has enjoyed seeing the tremendous change in public awareness of the issues regarding light pollution. As Membership Director, Susan organizes the IDA database and interfaces directly with general membership. Most anyone who calls during business hours will hear Susan's pleasant voice on the telephone. Members and volunteers often remark on Susan's competence and polite demeanor. Her broad business background, encompassing sales, purchasing, and administration helps Susan slowly but surely increase IDA's member base. In an effort to expand IDA's sphere of influence, she has started to restructure membership retention efforts, and has initiated several successful campaign drives.
In addition to managing our active membership system, Susan has recently taken on the role of Office Manager. Her bachelor's degree in business administration from George Washington University has helped hail changes in IDA's accounting system that will expedite the public posting of public financial records and have already prevented numerous headaches from donors and financial administrators.
Originally from New York, Susan has been a Tucson transplant for 22 years. A dedicated mother of two, she is happy to share her children's interest in sports and exercise, and can discourse endlessly on football.
John is an Arizona native and comes to IDA from the "dark side" of science -- professional astronomy. He grew up in Phoenix and was involved in amateur astronomy there from grade school. Later, he attended the University of Arizona, beginning research in jobs at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories and National Solar Observatory headquarters in Tucson. From 2001-06 he was on the staff of Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, serving first as an Observing Specialist on the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5-meter telescope and then as an Observer for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. He obtained a master's degree in physics at Colorado State University and a master's and Ph.D. in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin. John has contributed to science in fields ranging from solar physics to galaxy evolution while helping develop hardware for ground-based and aircraft-borne astronomy. Throughout his career, he has been involved in education and outreach efforts to help increase the public understanding of science. The asteroid (14505) Barentine is named in his honor. His interests outside of astronomy and dark skies include history, art/architecture, politics, law, and current events.

Gelfand-Anand G2, a Chebanenko Slav, drawn after 25 moves (VIDEO)
The second match game between Boris Gelfand and Vishy Anand also ended in a draw. Against Gelfand's expected 1.d4 Anand chose the Chebanenko Slav (or rather a hybrid of the Semi-Slav and the Chebanenko, the later being characterized by an early ...a6) and the Indian got a solid if just slightly passive position. After the queens were exchanged, Anand needed to find an accurate way to get full equality, and he did. After two games the score is 1-1 and there are ten more games scheduled.
Gelfand-Anand, game 2, also drawn | Photos © Anastasia Karlovich & Alexey Yushenkov
Unlike yesterday, today the two rivals did not bring any big surprises to each other. On the board came a relatively new, but a very solid variation of the Semi-Slav Defence.
After Black's 14th move Boris Gelfand thought for a long time and finally chose a line which led to an endgame with a slight edge for White. According to Gelfand, the seemingly sharper continuation 15.Bg5 would actually have resulted in an equal position.
It leads to more complicated play but I didn't see an advantage for White.
At the end of the game a few precise moves helped Viswanathan Anand to get full equality. On the 25th move the challenger offered a draw, which was accepted by champion accepted.
And so after two of twelve match games the score is still level. Sunday is a rest day; the third match game will be played on Monday, May 14th.
Our video report of today includes a brief interview with English grandmaster Nigel Short.

Interesting game actually. The groundwork is laid, let's see who tries to land a punch first!
1 year 11 months ago
at the press conference to the 2nd game it has been stated that the 1st game saw 19 moves which had been played by COMPUTERS before!!
DANAILOV & TOPALOW should take control of these obvious cases of criminal behaviour .....
it can only be recommended that both anand and gelfand should be filmed on the toilet and that these films should be published...
DANAILOV & TOPALOV should move the match to SOFIA and apply the sofia-rule which prohibits draws and the toilet!

And don't forget to cover the place in aluminum foil to prevent any secret radio-wave transmissions from entering the hall.

OMG, people are saying that the match is what they "expected"??!! Another draw in less than 30 moves! Just disgusting.
Hopefully next world championship will feature someone worthy like Carlsen, Aronian or Nakamura that really want to fight.

Nothing disgusting about it. You are on the top stage, everything is at stake...you feel your opponent out and look for your spots. This isn't played for the gallery - it's played for keeps. If you can't enjoy...WCh play is not for you. Watch an open tournament or something.
Matt, your remarks are disgusting. Go to your local irish pub if you want a bar room brawl. Be quick.
When young Kasparov stormed the barricades he had to learn some lessons, but afterwards in `85 he played inspired, aggressive AND successful chess with both colours.
I´m not perfectly sure a whether similar approach can work today. But after 2 games it seems to me that guys like Carlsen, Aronian, Nakamura tend play more inspiring and complex chess to be successful than these 2 old boys.
If the chess they play is so inspiring, so succsesful, why isn't Carlson, Aronian, or Nakamura playing against Anand for the Wch Title?
Aronian has had two chances, Carlson has had one. Nakamura trained with Krasparov. What's the prob bob?
..This quests just look polemic to me? Fact is that neither Magnus or Nakamura played Chanty. And Lev - who has obviously become a lot stronger since Chanty- was eleminated in the rapids by Grishuk after he dominated the match.
But its really hard to understand why you ignore that Carlssen and Aronian dominate all tournaments they play, and also drive all the important theoretical developments. One could hardly debate whether their chess is successful or inspiring.
2 out of the 3 mentioned don't find it worth their while to participate in khanty. So, lets blame the "2 old boys" for being here fighting it out. Disparaging remarks directed at legitimate contenders is getting a bit too old.
Not sure if these guys themselves feel a sense of "entitlement" or being wronged by the format - but there is no dearth of followers who feel so!
The point is - there is no system that is _guaranteed_ to bring the #1 and #2 to the championship table. So, any system can be picked on based on individual preferences.
No question about tournament performances of Carlsen and Aronian - Anand himself openly acknowledged it recently. But what systems they will play when faced with a championship struggle is yet to be seen. We all know the "boring" systems Kramnik used to bring the big guy down.
Besides, being the top performer at a given point in time doesn't automatically entitle someone to a championship title - rewind 98 - Anand. He still had to go through whatever was thrown at him and show he can handle it all.
"The point is - there is no system that is _guaranteed_ to bring the #1 and #2 to the championship table. So, any system can be picked on based on individual preferences"
That's pushing it a bit. Candidates tournaments/World Championships were won by Tal, Smyslov (twice), Bronstein, Petrosian, Botvinnik and Anand. Knockout World Championships/Candidates have been won by players like Khalifman, Kasimdzhanov and Gelfand. So even if no system guarantees that the strongest player wins, it isn't just a question of preferences or sour grapes to say that the best players benefit from not having knockouts.

First, why do you overlook the fact that Carlson had his chance to play, to prove himself at Chanty? And, Nakamura wasn't invited nor had he earned his place there. As regards Aronian, he played Mexico City and Chanty! His inspiring and succsesful tournament play did not cut the mustard.
So, we have one drop
Good comment....but FIDE could stop this lack of fighting chess by a simple rule.
Carlsen, Aronian and Nakamura failed to qualify for the World Championship...

Looks like Gelfand is the only one who is trying to inject some excitement.Anand is content with draws.
When you are not even a top 20 player yet have a shot at the FIDE championship, it is axiomatic that you at some point are going to be far more willing to take long shot chances. While we haven't seen that type of play yet, facing someone who has nothing to loose due to his standing and near universal low expectations is a new and unique challenge for Anand. This dynamic of likely facing a high risk surprise weapon at some juncture, the short duration of the match, and the near universal view that VIshy should win is an interesting mix of forces likely playing on Vishy's nerves. In contrast, Gelfand, with realistically nothing to loose, can be more relaxed.

This is the world championship -- it's really beside the point that FIDE is organizing it, since the title "FIDE championship" has lost credential as the sitting champion versus a challenger in a contracted match.
Ratings are overrated.
Yes. What does a consistently applied measurement of you perform against the competition really matter...
Saying that ratings are overrated is like saying that playing good chess is overrated. The better player the higher rating, that's why they are taken so seriously by the players.
Ratings are spot measurements: two years ago Gelfand was still a top10 player - who then fell a bit behind and out of the top20 only very recently after a bad result in Wijk aan Zee this year.
And they reflect results against ALL of your opponents. Like it or not, for the WCh cycle results in dedicated events against your direct competitors decide. And here Gelfand was successful. It's legitimate to complain about the system, but it wasn't a coin toss. Or, in Gelfand's case, there were seven coin tosses - seven consecutive match wins against opponents rated above 2700. This can't be just luck.
"two years ago Gelfand was still a top10 player - who then fell a bit behind"
He was top ten temporarily after many years outside the top ten though, his normal world ranking the last decade and a half has been around #12-15.
And of course a knockout isn't the same thing as a coin toss, but I don't agree that the value of a players rating is showed in knockouts with blitz tiebreak, the format is just too depending on the draw and blitz games for them to be a comparable measure to the rating list.
You boys shd ask Thomas to translate this excerpt from Die Zeit, a major newspaper covering this event in Germany. You'll quickly see how stupid you look/sound to the world at large.
"Und was machen viele Schachfans? Sie mäkeln herum.
Da treffen nicht die beiden nach Rangliste stärksten Spieler aufeinander, sagen sie. Der Weltmeister Anand habe seit Längerem kein Turnier mehr gewonnen, sein Herausforderer Gelfand gehe auch schon auf die fünfzig zu. "Beide Finalisten haben zuletzt kaum begeisterndes Schach geboten", konstatierte am Donnerstag die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Stimmt alles – und doch verfehlt es die Wirklichkeit."
Thank you for the article, RealityCheck - this should be read by most of the negative commentators (obviously low-ranked players who do not have the right idea of what WC chess involves)
Low ranked players like Kasparov, who has asserted and supported the point repeatedly that this match, uniquely among championship matches, can have no pretense of determining the world's best....
We forgot to mention that Kasparov, the former communist party member w/ KGB ties, former world champion is the celebrity mouth piece behind this effort to discredit the current championship. His lip service has brought back, from the dead, the C-Team. The likes of Calvin Amari and clones.
FIDE needs no help whatsoever in its overt efforts to discredit the championship. FIDE's singular efforts in this regard ensures that a strong champion, like Kasparov, will not challEnge FIDE's ability to act by fiat and maintain its ability to operate as a front for an international criminal enterprise. I'm sure the FIDE appreciates those who are duped and stupidly pledge their allegenge to the ruling goon squad.
Wait, you were seriously trying to argue how stupid others look/sound by demanding others to translate a mediocre article from a mediocre daily in German?

It goes something like this:
"And many chess fans do what? They nitpick. They say the two strongest players on the ratings list are not meeting. World Champion Anand has for quite awhile won no tournaments; his challenger Gelfand is already going on fifty. 'Both finalists have recently offered hardly inspiring chess,' stated the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Thursday. All true - and yet it misses the reality/the point."
Anyone's choice how relevant this article is - it's already noteworthy that a leading (rather than mediocre) German newspaper has a journalist and reasonably strong chess player (Elo 2083) reporting directly from Moscow. In the meantime, three more stories have appeared - see http://www.zeit.de/sport/index for links.
Eric's translation is quite accurate (I would say "complain" rather than "nitpick"), but the key part comes afterwards:
"The festive opening of the WCh in Moscow's Tretjakov Gallery Thursday evening saw a crowd and an atmosphere which otherwise isn't encountered in chess. Rachmaninow was played.Michail Gorbachov was in the first row. Former world champion Anatoli Karpov was there. Hundred journalists surrounded the players - by no means only Russians but also from India, Israel, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands."
So what is the missed point? Chess fans complained in 1995 because the match was outside FIDE, they complained about FIDE using the knockouts, they complained about Kramnik being given the match when Shirov won the Candidates, they complained about Leko qualifying when Anand and Kasparov chose not to participate, they complained about having a tournament World Championship and about Kramnik being given a title match after that, they complained about Topalov being given a Candidates match out of nowhere so he got a title match, etc.
I don't think all chess fans will start to like knockouts or stop complaining about FIDE's changing their rules during the previous cycle just because Gelfand ended up playing the title match. Chess fans will always be critical, because they take the game seriously and want a system where the World Champion is the best player in the world. Then maybe they complain too much sometimes, but rather that than just uncritically accepting everything.
Btw, my deep and sincere condolence to those who traveled from out side the world to Moscow to see the games. (I can reimburse them if they want)

Absence of 40 move draw ban 1) first af all is disgraceful towards watchers-on, full of highest quality entertainment expectations. If contenders think position is drawn, they could afford 15-20 moves more to prove it in purest form of chess; 2) Since WCC is the very peak of long-term qualification process, where thousands of players fight for World Crown glories, it humiliates the rest who have fought fair chess with 40 move anti draw ban raised in continental Championships. I am very much tempted to remind that both Anand -Gelfand draws would get a 0-0 estimate there at EICC, Plovdiv3) It makes suggestions on increasing the number of WCC match games made by very honorable and renowned persons of chess worth laugh or deploration.

Look at Kasparov Karpov games and the number of games drawn less than 15 moves. In 1984 there were only 8 decisive games in 48 total. Thats one ins 6 games. Some people who don't understand the nature of matches were bored then too and they will always be. Some people ofcourse have always things to complain about. Those who really love the game, enjoyed the K-K matches and continue to enjoy the game today.

Just the first two games. Long way to go. More exciting games will come.

The U.S. Commerce Department's Census Bureau today released basic demographic data for up to 249 race and ethnic groups down to the census tract level in Texas.
Summary File 2 (SF2) consists of 36 population and 11 housing tables. Each shows data for the total population in a particular geographic area, such as counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, state parts of American Indian and Alaska Native areas, tribal subdivisions, metropolitan areas and Hawaiian home lands.
Each table is iterated for as many as 132 race groups (e.g., Taiwanese, Melanesian), 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribal categories (e.g., Apache alone, Choctaw alone) and 39 Hispanic or Latino groups (e.g., Ecuadorian, Guatemalan). (Please note that the listed examples may not be shown for all states.)
Population subjects covered include age, sex, household relationship and household type. The data for occupied housing units include tenure (whether the unit is owner- or renter-occupied), household size and age of householder. SF2 is a compilation of 100 percent data taken from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit as of April 1, 2000.
Data will be released on a flow basis by state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. A weekly release schedule may be viewed on the Census Bureau's Web site at http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2001/sumfile2.html.
As the data for each state are released, a set of compressed ASCII files will be made available for downloading from the Census Bureau's FTP server http://www2.census.gov/census_2000. The data also will be available through the Census Bureau's search-and-retrieval database, American FactFinder® http://factfinder.census.gov.
Finally, SF2 may be obtained on recordable CD-ROMs, which do not have software. At a later date, CD-ROMs with a proprietary data format and software will be available. When all states have been released, the entire file will be put on one or two DVDs. The CDs and DVDs are sold by the Census Bureau's Customer Service Center. For information about ordering Census 2000 products, contact the Customer Services Center on (301) 763-INFO (4636) or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
