D&G Sunglasses
About The Brand
D&G is a brand of the Dolce & Gabbana Group. The brand offers an eclectic, vibrant style that's completely modern and unique. D&G designs their products to reflect the urban glamour that exists in today's world.
The Eyewear Collection
First launched in 1995, D&G provides the world with something new and exciting. D&G mixes up old and new; traditional Mediterranean and funky cosmopolitan. This is what gives the brand its unmistakable identity.
D&G eyewear would appeal to those live life embracing mixed cultures, and funky fashion trends. You rather set your own trend than follow in the paths of others. To reflect our cosmopolitan lifestyles, the brand's eyewear collection has incorporated a wide range of colour and styles for us to choose from.
Black, tortoise, havana and brown are some of the brand's bestselling eyewear. This is because they are 'safe colours' that suit all skin complexions and different eye colours. However, D&G are a vibrant and upbeat brand so why not experiment with colour?
Today, there is more variety of choice than there ever was before. You can choose from all sorts of frame shapes from butterfly, to round or squared and various types of colours and special effects such as glitter, transparent and two-toned frames. The list is endless.
When picking out sunglasses, remember to check that they have passed your country's safety standard.
Advice On Lenses
If you are opting for a full tint, you will be able to select from four different strengths of tint depth. Remember that you cannot use the darkest tinted lengths for driving because it is too dangerous.
Gradient lenses are cool and trendy. They have been around for a little while but regained popularity recently by celebrities and supermodels. Choose polarized lenses if you want the best protection against reflective glare from horizontal surfaces ie. water, street roads, desktop tables.
If you want to get your hands on gradient lenses, polarized or fully tinted lenses, Fashion Eyewear has got you covered.

Great Wig
By None
from New York, NY
Comments about Bianca HH Blend Wig by Especially Yours:
Although I have not worth this one yet, I have purchased the same style on at least 3 different occasions, in two different hair colors. I like staying with the same style for awhile and changing the color...more realistic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

worked well for me and I recommended it to a friend. wish quality was better for the price.
too thin, not happy with it
By hair to rent
from OH
The hair is too thin. That may be why it was on sale. I have to make sure my liner matches the hair color so my actual hair doesn't show underneath. This is thinner than my actual hair. I have noticed Especially Yours wigs have lost a quality since I first started ordering from you.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

NUMBER 154 ATLANTA, GEORGIA APRIL, 1905 For statement of the work of Atlanta University see last page. The Tenth Atlanta Conference It is intended this year to recognize the ten years of research by the Atlanta Conference, by taking a review of the work of those years. The subject will therefore be, Methods and Results. Among those who will speak are Prof. Walter Willcox of Cornell University, and Miss Frances Keller and Miss Mary Ovington of New York City. A more complete announcement will be made in our next issue. Dedication of Oglethorpe School Breaking of Ground for New Library These two exercises were combined into one, and held in the Ware Memorial Chapel on the afternoon of Wednesday, March the eighth. President Bum-stead, in his introductory remarks, gave a sketch of the growth of the Institution in respect to its buildings, and read letters of regret from a number of friends who were unable to accept our invitation to be present. Prof. Webster outlined the growth of our normal work, Miss Thomas spoke of the history and meaning of practice schools, Miss Ware described Froebel and his work, and Prof. Chase gave a sketch of the history of our library. President George Sale of the Atlanta Baptist College, Principal W. B. Matthews of this city and Rev. J. E. Smith of Chattanooga also spoke. One of the most interesting features of the exercises in the chapel was the singing by the children of the first grade and kindergarten of the Oglethorpe School, who were present and who marched upon the platform with their flag. There was also good singing by our school. We then adjourned, marching in double file to the site of the Carnegie library building, where, after prayer by President Bumstead, the ground was broken by him, followed by other members of the faculty. Adjourning then to the Oglethorpe School, Professor Adams offered the prayer of dedication, which was followed by the singing of the doxology. The building was then inspected by visiting-friends, who were present in large numbers, and many of whom had not had the opportunity previously of examining it. All in all, the exercise was one of the red letter days in our school history. The Fisk=Atlanta Debate This took place in our chapel March 10, and was of the greatest interest. And, aside from its intrinsic merit and success, it was especially noteworthy as a pioneer debate in Southern institutions of this character. The greatest care was taken in all of the arrangements, which were wholly satisfactory to both parties. And the debate itself was conducted upon a dignified plane, as would be expected from the character of the competing institutions. Atlanta had the affirmative of the question, Resolved, That the United States should acquire no Territory without the Intention of eventually giving it Statehood. Our representatives were T. K. Gibson ('05) and A. T. Walden ('07), with A. W. Ricks ('07) as alternate. The Fisk representatives were L. M. Johnson ('05) and Pratt Thomas ('07), with H. E. Macbeth ('05) as alternate. Rev. William H. Weaver, D. D., pastor of the Radcliffe Presbyterian church in this city, presided; and the judges were President George Sale of the Atlanta Baptist College, Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bow-en, editor of the Voice of the Negro, and Dr. William F. Penn of Atlanta. Each team had its points of superiority : the affirmative, in its systematic presentation of argument, and in form as speakers; the negative, in volume of argument and in power of rebuttal. The decision of the judges, by a vote of two to one, was in favor of Atlanta. The chapel was tastefully decorated with the national colors, and the colors of the two institutions. The orchestra added to the pleasure of the occasion by their selections at the beginning, and during the deliberations of the judges. A large audience was present, and the receipts in money were somewhat in excess of the expenses. We hope that this beginning will be followed by other debates, thus giving to the students of these institutions an interesting goal in the work of their debating societies, and carefully arranged public examples of first class debate. The Fourteenth Tuskegee Conference The fourteenth annual conference at Tuskegee is now a matter of history. To those of us who had been privileged to attend earlier conferences, and who were present at this conference, it seemed as though this, the latest in the series, was the most unique. The elements of interest at the conferenco are many. There is Tuskegee Institute itself, with its thousand or more students; there are the night gatherings in the chapel where this great body of students gather to listen to words of wisdom and good will from visitors; there is the chorus singing of the "old time" songs, in themselves an inspiration; there are the farmers who gather for the Farmers' Conference, and who seem to be a changing and developing body from year to year; and then there is the presiding officer of the conference, who seems to know everyone, and who by a subtle instinct seems to know when a delegate from the plantations has no more to say, or who senses that the audience wishes that a certain delegate be not called down just yet; and lastly, there is the body of workers in attendance, the educators who gather from all the important educational centers for the training of colored youth, and who come to exchange ideas and to build up aspiration. Looking back over the conference at two months' distance from the event, two lines of information and suggestion stand out in my mind as the points in the conference which were emphasized. The one was the present-day attitude of the Southern white people toward the Negro public schools, an attitude which appears to be very marked in Alabama, and which makes one realize that the interests of the Negro in educational lines cannot yet be left in the hands of the whites. And the other bears upon an apparent change being shown toward colored labor in this section. It was this latter which was the hopeful note of the conference. Having prepared an account of the conference for The Scroll, I quote the following bearing upon this point : The lesson of solidarity of interest with the white people came up in an interesting and hopeful fashion, as shown at least in some lo- Continued In page 3.

Spas >Spa Bloom At The Inn At Parkside
2116 6th Street, Sacramento, CA | Directions 9581838.569018 -121.504576
Neighborhoods: Southside Park, Central Sacramento
Love the parkside inn!
Massage Oasis – My massage was exactly what I needed after a long week of bills, work, and overall drama. The Inn at Parkside offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Michael, my massage therapist, was professional and outstanding. The best deep tissue massage I have ever had. Since my first appointment, I have scheduled other follow-ups and it is easy to get the same massage therapist at a time that fits my schedule. I would highly recommend this spa for massages.
Best kept secret – I have lived in Sacramento for over 50 years and was not familiar with The Inn at Parkside until a friend recently told me about it. My wife and I stayed in the Tranquility Room and it was fantastic. The bath was very relaxing and the bed was soooo comfortable. The room was tastefully decorated and had two nice comfortable chairs that we sat in and looked out the window through a beautiful tree that shaded our room. We turned on the ceiling fan and escaped into a feeling of being in a tropical paradise. We were rewarded with a great night's sleep and had an outstanding breakfast. We were the first ones up so we felt special and the food and service was exceptional. This was the nicest B and B that I have been to and I recommend this place to all the over 50 crowd in Sacramento that has not had the pleasure of staying there. This is one of the best kept secrets from us "mature" folk here in beautiful Sacramento.
Downtowns Hidden Gem – I am pleased to share my little downtown secret -'The Inn at Parkside'. It is quietly nestled across from Southside Park; if a friend had not told me about it I'd have never known it was there. Now let me confess, I love classic architecture!! This refurbished 1930's art-deco mansion turned B&B/dayspa piqued my interest at first sight. Now mind you, the location is convenient, but not ideal. Parking is sometimes a problem during noontime, but once you walk in the door the ambiance is magical. The soft music, the candles, the accomodating staff; it all came together to make my very first massage memorable. And when it came time for an in-town romantic retreat we stayed on the 3rd floor of their new building next door, 'Parkside House'- also memorable. I now send all my best clients to the Inn at Parkside because I know they will be well taken care of, and the kudos will come back to me. This is one secret I'm glad to share!
New client, will be back! – On my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a badly needed facial. I had heard good things about Bloom Spa, so I made an appointment. I have had many facials in the past, and this was the best ever! Kristin was my esthetician and she was amazing! She made some specific product recommendations for my skin concerns (after I asked for her opinion). The aromatherapy was beautiful as was the massage. I went during the week, so I got the midweek special. This facial felt so luxurious, that I left not only feeling very well taken care of, but also that I had just found one of the best bargains in town.
My boyfriend and I went back a week later for massages. Those were wonderful as well!
This is a great spot. Cute historic building. Quaint and charming.
Very pleasurable spa experience – After working for days on end, I needed some time to indulge myself. After looking at their impeccable website, I decided that Spa Bloom would be right for me. It is located in on a serene street, lined with trees, in a historical building. While it was obvious the place was old, it was still beautifully decorated and very presentable. I was given a male massager, which at first I was uncomfortable with, but soon found Michael was very professional and very good, however a little rough on the salt rub, leaving my skin burning and stinging. Fortunately for me, I also ordered a bath in one of their jacuzzi tubs. It was very comfortable, very relaxing, just a little dirty. With my facial, Cindy was very professional and courteous. I was even convinced to buy some of their products. Afterwards, there was wine and cheese served in the lobby with the other guests. The best part was the intoxicating smell of Lavender following me throughout the experience.
Had a great time – I had a really great time at this little day spa/inn combo. The building is beautiful both inside and out. It is no doubt one of the most charming and relaxing atmospheres I have been in. The staff greeted me at the door and led me to the changing/waiting room. It was lovely with the candles lit, soft music playing and comfortable furniture. The massage tables were beautifully decorated and the massage itself was fantastic. I had only scheduled an hour but the therapist went over a bit and I really appreciated that extra attention. The spa/inn is very well put together and the grounds are lovely. This wonderful day spa hits the mark with its unique setting, great treatments and relaxing environment.
Worst spa experience ever. – From start to finish, this was the worst experience I've ever had at a spa. The staff was disorganized and rude, the property was dirty, and the massage was subpar at best.
After an awkward greeting, the receptionist left us in the lobby for a while, then took us downstairs to the waiting area. My husband and I had arrived early to use the jacuzzi before our massages. After waiting downstairs for 15 minutes, I went upstairs to see what was going on. The manager seemed confused about whether or not the receptionist had given us our robes, which had been downstairs the whole time. She told us we could change and go out to the jacuzzi.
The "changing room" is a miniscule bathroom which smelled like mildew. There are no lockers, either. You are expected to carry your clothes around the spa with you in one of their giant bags. By the way, the robes say "Cypress Hotel" on the label. Were these taken from another establishment?
We went outside to use the jacuzzi, which, it turned out, was completely filthy. The receptionist and a caretaker were quickly trying to clean it up when we went out there. There was dirt and leaves floating around in the water and mildew all around the edges. "CHANGE FILTER" was blinking on the digital display.
We changed back into our robes, were left downstairs for another 15 minutes until we asked someone about our massage therapists, and were finally told that our massages were in the building next door. We then had to walk down the sidewalk IN OUR ROBES to go to the other building. Completely embarassing.
Needless to say, the massage was not only lackluster, but we could hear the phone ringing, the music from the room next door, and people talking and doing dishes just outside the door. We asked for hot stone massages, but the hot stones were used for maybe 10 minutes during the 60 minute session.
In short, don't go to this spa unless you want to be grossed out, possibly humiliated, and completely disappointed.
Best Massage Experience in Sac! – My partner and I went in for much needed relaxation. We love massage but haven't been pleased with many of the massage experiences we've had in Sacramento. The staff was friendly, experienced and made us feel welcome The Inn is beautiful and historic and we didn't feel rushed in and out of our treatment. We were even invited to complimentery wine and cheese with the other Inn guests!
Not only that, but our therapists, Brandy and Liza gave us the most incredible massages! They both had an amazing touch and were caring and attentive to our needs. It pays to keep searching. We are so pleased to have found our new alternative the the "rush you in and out" typical day Spa. See you soon Spa Bloom!!!!
One of the best spas around! – My boyfriend and I just spent the weekend at the hotel and had a spa package. It was so nice to be in a room with just us and the therapists, and we never felt rushed. This was his first massage and he has a broken collarbone along with some wounds that are healing, and he was worried at first, but he can not wait to go again. His therapist was so helpful and knew where he needed work done the most. I have been to many spas from SF to here and I usually feel like I am in a herd. They herd you down the hall, then to your room and I have even had people who do not speak english, so I can't really tell them where it hurts. It is very unlikely that I will attend any other spa while I reside in Sacramento. I had a facial there a week prior and my skin looks better than it ever has after a facial. I would highly recommend this spa to anyone I know, and I already have.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Staves Off CV Events in High-risk Patients with DiabetesPosted: Saturday, November 26, 2011
New data suggests that low-dose supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids may protect patients with diabetes and a history of myocardial infarction from ventricular arrhythmia-related events.
On average, patients consumed 18.6 g margarine daily, according to the researchers, leading to additional intakes of 223 mg EPA, 149 mg DHA and 1.9 g ALA per day. During a median follow-up period of 40.7 months, 29 patients developed a ventricular arrhythmia-related event and 27 died of MI.
Data indicate that supplementation with any combination of the omega-3 fatty acids decreased ventricular arrhythmia-related events compared with placebo. However, patients assigned EPA and DHA plus ALA supplementation experienced the lowest incidence, with adjusted analyses suggesting that supplementation decreased these events by 84% vs. placebo (HR=0.16; 95% CI, 0.04-0.69). Results were similar for the combined endpoint of cardiac arrest and sudden death (HR=0.13; 95% CI, 0.02-1.09).
Although the researchers found no significant reductions in fatal MI among the treatment groups, after adjustment for potential confounders, combined supplementation of EPA and DHA plus ALA appeared to reduce the combined endpoint of ventricular arrhythmia-related events and fatal MI by 72% (HR=0.28; 95% CI, 0.11-0.71), the researchers said.
Kromhout said in a press release, that, "While more research is needed to definitively determine the role of these fatty acids in protecting people from ventricular arrhythmias, they seem to provide a benefit to the heart attack patients who also had diabetes." "This is the first study that showed a significant protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids in high-risk patients with diabetes who were on state-of-the-art drug treatment for their heart attack."

Java Security Advisory
In January of 2013 the Department of Homeland Security released an alert indicating that high-risk Java vulnerabilities existed and recommended that Java be disabled or removed until a fix could be developed by Oracle. After the fix for the identified vulnerabilities was released by Oracle, the US Department of Homeland Security and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) continued to recommended that Java be disabled in web browsers.
Some campus and CSU systems such as PeopleSoft, BB Learn, and CSU provided on-line training require that Java be enabled in the web browser. To support mission critical campus priorities, CSU Chico recommends that Java be enabled only when necessary to support authorized campus services. Most versions of Java can be enabled and disabled through a control panel (see instructions below). It is recommended that computers that store or access sensitive Level 1 or Level 2 data do not enable Java under any circumstances.
More information including Java configuration recommendations are available at https://wiki.csuchico.edu/confluence/display/help/Java+Security
What is Spam?
Spam is the colloquial term for unsolicited bulk email. Mail servers which are known to send out these mass-emails are quickly "blacklisted" to prevent the proliferation of spam. Blacklisting can impact legitimate email servers when user email accounts have been compromised through the "phishing" or discovery of the account owner's username and password.
In order to prevent your email account from being compromised, NEVER give out your account password to ANYONE, regardless of whether the request sounds legitimate or not. (IT Support Services will never ask for your password via email)
The video below, produced by Jeffrey Barron at The Orion, explains the concept of spam in more detail.

Businessman charged with failing to repay $87,000 to woman
East Washington businessman George Retos Jr. was charged April 16 by Peters Township police with accepting more than $87,000 in checks from his girlfriend's mother and failing to repay the money, township police said.
Retos, 65, of 103 Lemoyne Ave., Washington, was arraigned before District Judge Valarie Costanzo Tuesday evening on charges of theft by deception, theft by unlawful taking and theft by failure to make required disposition of funds. He was released on $50,000 unsecured bond.
Police said at the end of July, Retos was given a $27,539 check by Dolores Calkusic, then of Peters Township, from a stock liquidation when one company merged with another. Calkusic told police Retos was to use the check to reinvest in the other company.
According to an affidavit filed in Costanzo's office, Retos contacted Calkusic Aug. 21 and said he could not make the payroll at Prime Plastics, a business he managed in Washington. Initially, Retos asked Calkusic for $100,000 and said he would repay her by Aug. 24. She agreed to give him $60,000 and wrote him numerous checks.
The affidavit indicated Retos failed to repay any of the money even after repeated attempts by Calkusic to contact him. She told police she saw Retos at The Meadows Casino Dec. 23, when she again asked him to repay the money. The affidavit states Retos has repeatedly "stalled and made excuses as to why he has not paid her," including that his bank accounts were frozen. At the casino, Retos said he would pay the money back by Jan. 30.
She contacted Peters Township police Jan. 10.
When interviewed by police March 1, Retos said he deposited all of the money into the Prime Plastics account and treated it as a loan to Prime Plastics. He said the Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on all Prime Plastics accounts Sept. 11, and the IRS seized all of the money in the accounts.
Police said the original $27,539 was deposited in Retos' account and was withdrawn over the next three days. Police said the investigation found very little of the $60,000 given to Retos was used to meet payroll. Much of the money, police said, was used for cash withdrawals and to pay expenses.
Retos, a former attorney, was convicted in 1993 on federal charges of tax evasion, mail fraud, transfer of a stolen security and bank fraud. He served time in a federal prison.
In 2011, Retos went to court to stop Washington School District from bidding on his East Washington home at a sheriff's sale for owing thousands in unpaid taxes. The school district hoped to buy the property and resell it to recoup its lost tax revenue. School district solicitor Ken Baker said a judge ruled against Retos in November and found that more than $51,000 was owed. Retos appealed the ruling to Commonwealth Court, where it is still pending.

Charge Controllers
Almost any time batteries are used in a renewable energy system, a charge controller is needed to prolong battery life. The most basic function of a controller is to prevent battery overcharging. If batteries routinely are allowed to overcharge, their life expectancy will be reduced dramatically. A controller will sense the battery voltage, and reduce or stop the charging current when the voltage gets high enough. This is especially critical with sealed batteries that do not allow replacement of the water that is lost during overcharging.
There are no products matching the selection.

Women World Championship Round 1: No big upsets
The Women's World Championship is taking place in Khanty-Mansiysk from 11th November to 3rd December. The strongest 64 female chess players will play in a World Cup (knock-out) format to determine who will unseat Hou Yifan as World Champion. The winner will face Hou in a World Championship match next year. (If Hou herself wins, she will face
the runner up Koneru Humpy in a 2013 match.)

The first round of the Women's World Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk did not bring any major upsets. The reigning World Champion, Hou Yifan, faced no problems against Sachini Ranasinghe (rated 1861) and won her match 2-0. Other pre-tournament favorites Humpy Koneru, Anna Muzychuk, Zhao Xue, Kateryna Lahno and Nadezhda Kosintseva also convincingly defeated their significantly lower rated opponents with the maximum score.
The drawing of lots decided that World Champion Hou Yifan got to play the white pieces in Game 1
The bottom half of the field usually offers more interesting pairings for the first round, where players closer in strength are facing each other. Former FIDE World Champion Zhu Chen (playing for Qatar) had a much harder time against the 17-year old talent Nastassia Ziaziulkina (2367) from Belarus, who tried too hard to win the first game of the match, and instead lost then failed the next day to level the score playing with the white pieces.
The most spectacular game of the first round was played between Anastasia Bodnaruk and Lela Javakhishvili where White exploited her opponent's lag in development. A splendid attacking game by 20-year old Russian IM/WGM.
The Knock-Out system offers usually lot of excitement and drama. In the first game Almira Skripchenko went too far in her winning attempts and eventually overlooked a simple tactic.
Kateryna Lahno won her first round match with 2-0 against Mona Khaled from Egypt, rated 2155

Judit Polgar will never win the over-all World Championship at this stage of her career. Therefore she should step up and win Women's World Championship and pocket the cool 60,000 Euro first prize. The fact that she doesn't means that she is either retired from chess, very rich or an arrogant fool.
1 year 5 months ago
Judit will play in a super tournament in London in Dec - one of many that she has played in her lifetime (with a peak world ranking of eighth). She can make money without demeaning herself with mixing with 63 other players who have never participated in a true super tournament ever.
1 year 5 months ago
What's so demeaning about playing for the womans world championship title? Nothing! (G. Kasparov's Simuls with a rating cap of 2000 Elo is demeaning.) It would have been a pleasure to see Judit prove her superiority over the same sex. Non-participation will never prove anything.
Her opposite sex super tournament particiption is trumped up only because she's a woman, a minority. Granted she's achieved an masculine Elo but, her super tournament results are not envied by her colleauges GM's Anand, Aronian, Carlson, Ivanchuk, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik, Topalov, and the list goes on.
Well Kasparov just doesn't want to work that hard for his simul money anymore. He already proved his simul ability by winning a clock simul against 5 young grandmasters at once (if memory serves).
Carlsen has already stated in an interview that he doesn't think the World Chess Championship is as important as having the number one rating. So maybe Polgar feels the same way vis a vis women.
Polgar's supertournament results could well be comparable to those of Svidler and Adams - to name two male players about her age or older. By now she may be "semi-retired" in the sense that her family matters more than chess, she plays less events and selects them carefully. No reason to travel to Khanty-Mansiysk for an event where, in terms of prestige, she has little to gain and a lot to lose? Even if she did go to Siberia for the last World Cup, eliminating Movsesian, Karjakin and Dominguez before losing to Svidler ... .
That being said, a bit strange that noone talks about the _actual_ participants of the event - true they are 'mediocre' by male standards, but still. If anyone is interested, the tournament bracket can be found at Wikipedia:
I couldn't even find it at the official webpage!?
1 year 5 months ago
The link to the official site can be found in the grey info box on this article, as usual: http://chess2012.ugrasport.com/
1 year 5 months ago
By the same token, Anand, Aronian, Carlsen, and Kramnik also don't envy the tournament results of Svidler, Grischuk, Adams, Kamsky, Morozevich, Leko, Bacrot, or any number of other 2700 somethings who maintain a decent rating but have very few tournament wins in the last few years.
Let's say Judit's rating coasts down into the mid-2600s over the next five to ten years. That would not be unusual for a player her age. When does the "I'm too good for women's events" approach start seeming a little weak?
It's hardly impossible that another female player could pass Judit on the rating list as she gets older. I wouldn't be amazed to see her eventually play in the women's world championship cycle, at least.
And to comment on the players actually in the championship, Humpy somehow managed to lose to Natalia Zhukova with white in the first game of the second round. I knew I jinxed Humpy when I picked her as the favorite. Oh well, she could bounce back tomorrow.
Just to expand on my comment a little further. Judit's rating dipped to about 2680 a couple years ago. Some good results since then have put her back in the 2700 club, but only just.
Sorry to be ungallant, but Judit is one of the oldest players in that club right now. Let's face it, the years go by, nobody gets any younger, blah blah blah. I think it's a lot more likely that Judit's rating will look something like 2670 five years from now, rather than 2770.
And by then Hou Yifan or Anna Muzychuk or Humpy Koneru or some other female player nobody expects may well be at 2630 or 2640. (Hou's been there already.) So really, Judit would have no more of an advantage on the female field than Magnus currently has on the male field.
Long story short: I think she'll play in women's events sooner or later, and maybe sooner than most people think.
None of this is to dump on Judit, who is obviously the strongest woman player ever. But even at this stage of her career, I don't think women's events would be "demeaning" for her. And a few years from now, they might look a lot less demeaning.
But wouldn't it be semi-tragic (from a legacy standpoint) if she finally agreed to play in a Women's World Championship and finally won the crown when she could have won the title so many times during her career? To avoid this she can just dig in her heels and never agree to play for the women's title.

Polgar will never play in women's events, she would rather withdraw since there's nothing to prove for her or gain by playing events like this when she has played events like this:
Well, yeah, but the last time Judit played in group A at Wijk aan Zee, this happened...
Hey, 6/13 against this competition is really, really good. But are the results going to get better for Judit from now on?
I think she might play women's events before anybody expects. We'll see.
Here I agree with redivivo: Polgar playing a future World Women Championship would be like Karpov or other former world top players (Korchnoi, Timman, Portisch, Ljubojevic, ...) participating in the World Senior Championship which is currently underway - to my knowledge, it never happened.

Judit Polgar has always made it a point to compete with the best of the best, regardless of gender. Why would she, now that the years might start to count, change her mind? Have some respect for the best female chess player ever. It's almost like wanting a fully abled but aging and slowing down ex world class track athlete to compete in a race for disabled runners. They might compete on the same level now, but that doesn't mean they should enter the same race.

The games have been interesting, but a number of blunders... pieces flying and mates in one missed on the board. Time pressure no doubt. Even Kramnik has missed mate in one. :-) Humpy-Zhukova had a cute ending today!
There are arguments for a women's circuit, but I don't believe women will ever gain in strength playing in a majority of these tournaments. Judit tests herself against the best since she was a young teen and strengthened with the support of her older sisters.
At this point, I don't see any of the current group of women (Hou Yifan included) ever reaching Judit's height of #8 in the world. Hou is young enough to do it, but the talent pool is so deep with fifty 2700s. Having to take these type of blows round after round will be a gargantuan task for the Chinese player, not to mention the five or so 2800s that will emerge in the next few years.

Strong support and a design to match: the sports seat is a highly desirable feature with its dynamic design and attractive looks. The unmistakeable sporty stitching gives it an exceptional visual appeal.
The sports seat makes long journeys and dynamic cornering an exhilarating driving experience. The seat's angle and depth are variable* and it can be adjusted to perfectly suit occupants of various statures. An electric 4 way lumbar support can be aligned with the key support points for the spinal column*. It can be individually adjusted by electric motors in four directions (up/down and forwards/backwards). The advantage: as soon as they get in, the driver and front passenger are seated in an ergonomically ideal position.
* Does not apply to the A3/S3
