find your next home in Hancock County, Maine
* I worked in Real Estate in Santa Barbara, California for 15 years before moving in 2004 to a family summer home in Hancock. My early 1800's cape-style home, set on 10 wooded acres, gives me a good working knowledge of what it takes to update and maintain an older house with land in the Downeast region.
*I enjoy helping both seasoned and first time buyers experience the joy of owning that special place they dreamed of finding. When working with buyers, I use my 20+ years of knowledge and practical experience to successfully overcome any challenges that arise during the real estate transaction.
* I also have an extensive background in Commercial sales and leasing, including having been a Restaurant/Bar business broker specialist in the Santa Barbara region representing both sellers and buyers.
*In my private time I am working on completing a chapbook of poems for submission for publication. In the community, I have greatly enjoyed having had the privilege of being trained and then volunteering with our local Hospice organization. For relaxation I relish a quiet afternoon of exploring Acadia National Park's hiking trails, carriage trails, bogs and other magical spots.

Wüsthof Precision Double Serrated Bread Knife
- Special Offer
- Exclusive
- Summary
Williams-Sonoma worked closely with legendary German knife-maker Wüsthof to bring you kitchen knives like no other. The flowing, dynamic lines of our innovative Wüsthof Precision collection give the knives a bold, contemporary look, while the seamless transition from handle to bolster to blade results in maximum comfort during use. High-carbon stainless-steel blades and a double-bolster design deliver professional-level performance and satisfying heft.
- Blade features dual rows of serrations that stay sharper longer than standard serrated edges and help this bread knife cut through hard crusts without crushing the softer bread inside.
- Double-bolster design provides exceptional balance and precision.
- Bolster's smooth transition from handle to blade allows for an unlimited variety of cutting grips.
- Precision forged from a single piece of sturdy high-carbon steel that resists stains and corrosion.
- Wüsthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) creates a remarkably sharp blade with superior edge retention.
- Slightly oversized blade design provides plenty of power for fast, efficient cutting.
- Beautifully contoured, ergonomic handle is made of a durable, moisture-resistant synthetic.
- In its seventh-generation of family ownership, Wüsthof has been making some of the finest kitchen cutlery in the world since 1814.
- 9" blade.
- Made in Germany.
- A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a sharpener specifically designed for a serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

A few quick links for the day:
As USA Today points out, the economy needs to add 200,000 to 250,000 a month to boost economic growth significantly. The average produced for the past two years is about 150,000 jobs per month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Another concern: "The civilian labor force participation rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 63.6 percent in November, offsetting an increase of the same amount in October." In other words, the labor force shrank.There are still 12 million unemployed, including 4.8 million without a job for at least six months. Also, the government revised down job gains for September and October by a total 49,000. September's additions were revised from 148,000 to 132,000 and October's, from 171,000 to 138,000.

Gun control in the US

Some people were upset that they did not know the format of the CDA meeting. In fairness, my Alderman Mark Otto had informed me that the CDA meeting on Tuesday January 8th would in fact be open, closed and open to the public.
I was the first one there for the CDA meeting. Sean Smith came in and asked me "For which meeting was I waiting to attended?" To which I relied "The CDA." He told me the same thing Mr. Otto had told me. I was not happy with the amount of time having to wait during the closed session part, only to find out that they would have to meet in a special Common Council meeting the following day.

To Know Me
January 26th – Today is the third year since my son Ryan died. This will be a very hard weekend, as it has been since then.
My twenty-month-old daughter knows who her brother is. When we go to the cemetery and place flowers, pinwheels, or decorations, she know that is where he sleeps.
WGA Strike
Some 10,500 Writers Guild of America (WGA) members went on strike against the studios in November, throwing the TV season into disarray. In a previous post, I listed the known season finalities of this strike-shortened season. The strike makes Super Bowl ads more valuable as advertising companies have fewer ways to connect with viewers during regular shows.
The screenwriters strike derailed this year's Golden Globes event when the Writers Guild of America, which is embroiled in a labor dispute with major film and TV studios, threatened to picket the ceremony. As a result, A-list stars to refuse to attend.
No Sidewalk and Weather: Factor In Boys Death
Wednesday, January 30, 2008 --- After child killed while walking in road, vote on building sidewalks pushed through.
Yesterday, a child was killed and three other kids seriously injured while walking in the road, since there were no sidewalks, when a car lost control and crashed into the children on Whitnall Ave just south of Layton Ave. Police stated that weather may have contributed to the accident, but neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor. Now the Common Council, in a 4-1 vote, plans to have a sidewalk built on Whitnall Ave from Layton Ave to Nicholson Ave.

Louisville Slugger 2013 TPS oneX -8 Fastpitch Softball Bat
The new ONEX composite bat features updated S1iD Technology in the barrel for a more solid feel and sound than its Xeno predecessor. T2 2-piece Transition Technology increases the dampening effect against vibration. 1.20 BPF. Approved for all softball associations.
Length: 33 34
Weight: 25 26
Alloy: ONEX Composite
More Spring To Your Swing.
Meet the new oneX composite bat, re-engineered from the breakthrough Xeno bat to provide an even better feel when you swing.
T2 Technology (patent pending)
Louisville Slugger has created a revolutionary new transition technology—named T2—to strengthen the link between the barrel and handle of the ONEX to give it a trampoline spring and dramatically reduced vibration on contact. The straighter, thicker rubber ring results in a bat that's not only sturdier but feels better with every swing.
Unlike our competitors, T2 features a solid connection between the handle and barrel, giving players maximum performance—even on inside hits.
S1iD Technology (patent pending)
The Xeno's aluminum inner disc is being upgraded to composite discs inside the ONEX's LS-2X composite shell, which allows for a flexible, more forgiving barrel, a larger sweet spot, and a cleaner sounding pop with every hit.
Our thinner high-strength and lightweight graphite fibers allow us to use more layers in the barrel for added strength, while reducing overall wall thickness.
Vibration from a miss hit is absorbed before it reaches a player's hands. Without the worry of sting or vibration from "off sweetspot hits," a player can maintain acceleration through impact for increased and more consistent performance.

15. Where can I get help on writing a performance-based Statement of Work?
16. How can I refine my search to a manageable list of contractors?
17. How do I establish a multi-agency BPA?
18. Are there any training opportunities on Schedules?
1. How do federal agencies use GSA Multiple Award Schedules?
Answer: Federal agencies distribute a Request for Quote (RFQ) to a minimum of three (3) Schedule contractors. For more information on schedules, please see GSA Schedules.
2. What about FAR Section 803?
Answer: The Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented new rules for ordering services over $150,000 for multiple award contracts. The rules are derived from Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2002. Section 803 requires the Contracting Officer (CO) to contact as many Schedule holders as practical in order to ensure that at least three responses are received. If three responses are not received, the DoD Contracting Officer must determine if no additional qualified contractors could be identified despite reasonable efforts to do so.
3. How do I place task orders through GSA?
Answer: The majority of ordering offices place task orders directly with the best value GSA Multiple Award Schedule contractor, and are responsible for administration of the task order. The contractor submits invoices directly to the ordering office.
Agencies can also elect to utilize fee for service contracting support offered by GSA's Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS). AAS can accept funding documents and competitively procure professional services from schedule contractors. Services might include preparing a performance-based Statement of Work, conducting market research, developing/distributing a Request for Quotes (RFQ), evaluating quotes received and issuing/administering the Schedule task order. For more information see the Multiple Award Schedule Desk Reference.
4. Can I issue an RFQ electronically?
Answer: Federal agencies can use eBuy to prepare and distribute RFQs. Once an RFQ closes, the agency will be able to review quotes submitted by Schedule contractors. The actual award of a task order must be completed outside of eBuy unless the total dollar value of the task order is less than $2.5k.
5. Can I issue task orders electronically?
Answer: GSA eBuy is an online Request for Quotes (RFQ) tool, which enables federal buyers and Schedule Contractors to exchange RFQs and quotes electronically.
6. Am I authorized to include FAR clauses on Schedule task orders?
Answer: Yes, but you cannot change the terms and conditions of the Schedule contract.
7. Can I issue Schedule task orders with option periods?
Answer: Yes; but please indicate that you will exercise your task order option pending confirmation that GSA has exercised the contractor's option period.
8. Can I terminate a Schedule task order?
Answer: Yes, you can terminate for cause or convenience. Please refer to clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions in the solicitation.
9. What mechanism does GSA use to ensure that contractors are accurately reporting their task orders?
Answer: GSA has a staff of Industrial Operation Analysts (IOAs) who audit sales reported by Schedule contractors.
10. Can I include incentives at the task order level?
Answer: The solicitation specifically authorizes the use of incentives at the task order level. The text of clause I-FSS-60 Performance Incentives (April 2000) details this out.
11. How do I handle Other Direct Costs (ODC) at the task order level?
Answer: For administrative convenience, non-contract items can be added to the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) or the individual task order if the items are clearly labeled as such, applicable acquisition regulations have been followed, and price reasonableness has been determined for the items.
Contractors are reimbursed only for incurred costs at or below the published "not to exceed" levels. Costs for transportation, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred by contractor personnel on official company business are allowable subject to limitations contained in FAR 31.205-46, Travel Costs. It is GSA Policy NOT to allow a charge of profit or fee on reimbursable items.
12. Can I use the Schedule to fill short-term and/or long-term agency staffing shortfalls?
Answer: No. Short term requirements are filled utilizing Schedule 736, Temporary Administrative and Professional Services. Long term staffing shortfalls filled by contractor personnel are typically considered personal services and cannot be procured under the Schedules Program.
13. Can I order labor categories under the Schedule?
Answer: GSA encourages customers to describe their needs in a performance-based statement of work rather than to require labor categories that you think are needed to perform the work.
14. What does "limited duration" mean?
Answer: The effort needs to be limited to a defined task with a specific start and end date to the task. No SIN should be used to provide an ongoing requirement for an indefinite time period.
15. Where can I get help on writing a performance-based Statement of Work?
Answer: For Performance Based Contracting regulations, samples, tutorials and guidance, see Acquisition Overview. Additional sources include Statements of Work and Services Ordering Solutions: Avoiding MAS Confusion.
16. How can I refine my search to a manageable list of contractors?
Answer: Go to GSA Advantage!® and select the service that fits your requirement. Try the following steps to refine your search results:
1) Type in keyword(s) in the box under "Refine" by keyword"
2) Select "Refine"
You can also prepare a Sources Sought or Request for Information (RFI) notice to solicit responses from Schedule contractors. You can post such a notice on the FedBizOpps website or on eBuy.
17. How do I establish a multi-agency BPA?
Answer: Yes, an agency can establish a BPA that covers multiple agencies. At the time the BPA is established, the Contracting Officer must identify who can award TOs/DOs (ordering authority) against a BPA.
18. Are there any training opportunities on Schedules?
Answer: If your agency is looking for training on the Schedules program, there are two types you can get, and both are free. For general training on GSA eBuy and/or GSA Advantage!®, please contact the Customer Service Director (CSD) in your State. Customer Service Directors
For more in-depth training on how to use GSA Schedules, please see the contacts below. The training is CLP-certified and can easily be tailored to your contracting office's specific needs.

Ohio State edged past their chief nemesis, Michigan,
to finish at the top of the recruiting class rankings.
Top prospect Nkemdiche to Ole MissNo. 1 OT Tunsil commits to Ole MissNo. 1 DT Robinson opts for 'BamaVanderdoes chooses Notre DameNo. 3 DT Adams picks AuburnNo. 2 S Bell pledges to Ohio StateFoster sports Saban-style hatRB Collins skips signing ceremonyCommitment tracker: Latest updatesFull Signing Day news archive
Alabama finished third after a strong close on Signing Day and Notre Dame
came in at fourth while UCLA finished fifth.
LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia, Florida and Ole Miss rounded out the top 10.
The general consensus was that the No. 1 player in
the country, Robert Nkemdiche, would end up at Ole Miss.
And that's what happened to kick off the craziness of the day.
Nkemdiche committed to Ole Miss early Wednesday morning.
The Rebels also added the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle, Laremy Tunsil, and the No. 3 safety, Antonio Conner.
Reuben Foster committed to Alabama once, when he was living in Georgia. Then
he moved to the city of Auburn in Alabama and committed to the Tigers, complete
with a tattoo.
On Monday night on FOX Sports South, he committed again to the Tide.
And the the Tide got his Letter of Intent on Wednesday morning. Foster even wore a Nick Saban-style straw hat for the occasion.
The under-the-radar Chris Jones committed to Mississippi State in the fall, a
relative unknown who the Bulldogs were content to keep that way.
Then he blew up at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic and again at the
Under Armour All-America Game. He's now a five-star defensive end, No. 2 at the position.
Ole Miss was trying to stick it to their rivals and take Jones, while the
Bulldogs did what they can to hold on to their one-time diamond in the
Tuesday night, it looked like he would flip to Ole Miss.
But Wednesday morning, Mississippi State got Jones' Letter of Intent, ending
the drama.
Auburn (Calif.) Placer five-star defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes was the
last of the marquee prospects to make an announcement on Signing Day.
And Notre Dame loved where they sat when the day was over.
The ninth-ranked player overall chose the Irish over Alabama, UCLA, USC and
Washington on Signing Day.
The big drama is in Florida, where five-star Alex Collins, who committed to
Arkansas on Monday, is waiting to sign his Letter of Intent.
The only problem? His mom has confiscated it.
Mom doesn't want Collins gone, and she won't sign his Letter of Intent, or
let Collins sign it. Reports indicated that Collins was trying to get his dad to sign instead.
So Bret Bielema and his staff wait to see what happens and if Collins, will
in fact, sign with the Razorbacks.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Nest Box Update - Home Invasion
Girlfriend and I made the rounds this morning and found this.
It is never a good sign to find a box askew with bird parts on the lid.
Deer Camp 2008
I'd bet one of the first thoughts through your head was:
Whoa, Tom! Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?
Tosa Trivia
Wauwatosa's current local paper is WauwatosaNOW and is delivered - free-for-nothing - with your JournalSentinel every Thursday.The on-line edition is pretty cool. Moreover, it features the most talented collection of Community Voices - of ANY of the MyCommunityNOW.com web pages. (Tosa rules - everyone else drools)
The Garden Chronicles
The replacement tomato plants added following the post-Memorial Day frosts are doing well. We have blossoms and some green tomatoes on the larger plants that survived.
Almost all of the sweet corn, beets, lettuce, cukes, pickles, cantaloupe and green beans had to be replanted following the monsoons. They are behind schedule and making a recovery - some better than others.
Brett Favre - What a Difference Six Months Will Make
I found this in the mailbag today.
Mayoral Finance Reports
I stopped at City Hall on the way to the day job this morning and obtained copies of the latest Mayoral Campaign Finance Reports.
Copying costs were less than the price of a gallon of petrol and you don't even have to make a trip to City Hall.
Trench Foot, Monkey Butt, and Road Rash - All for a Good Cause
Last weekend I set out on an annual summer pilgrimage - my 16th consecutive one - riding the Scenic Shore 150 on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Wisconsin. This is a two-day bike trek from Mequon to Sturgeon Bay that raises funds for blood related cancer research and patient services.
940 riders this year - a far cry from barely a hundred riders at the first event 15 years ago. With a fund-raising goal of $550,000 - there is $525,000 already in the bank and more checks rolling-in daily. These funds stay in Wisconsin.
An Eruption of Wildflowers
The primary nesting season is coming to a close so Girlfriend and I went for a walk in the meadow with little chance of the dog disrupting any ground nesting birds.
Holy Silphium Perfoliatum Batman!
In Case the Favre Fuss Sends You to the ER...
Is the continuing Favre drama giving you fits?
More of the spectacle raising your blood pressure?

Friday, 10 May 2013
Hampshire County Council and Test Valley Borough Council are pleased to confirm that contractors are to start work on Andover Bus Station from next week (beginning 13 May 2013).
Also, during that week, two unused bus shelters in Andover will be relocated to provide temporary bus stops in West Street. A new shelter has been ordered, to be installed between the three temporary stops on Western Avenue in June.
Transport capital funding of £2.9 million is being invested to extend and refurbish the bus station. The finance will come from contributions from developers responsible for major commercial and housing construction schemes in the area, as part of their planning agreements to improve facilities for bus passengers. This is in addition to the junction and highway improvements being carried out to support these developments.
Redevelopment of the bus station is an integral part of the Andover Town Access Plan. In developing the Plan, it was recognised that the bus station's capacity would need to be expanded to cope with the anticipated increase in the number of passengers and buses from the major development areas of East Anton, Picket Twenty and Andover Airfield.
The new facilities will provide the following benefits:
- additional space for buses and coaches;
- an enclosed waiting and internal seating area;
- a café;
- a Shopmobility facility to enable people with restricted mobility to hire mobility scooters or wheelchairs;
- office accommodation for the bus operator including an enquiries desk;
- office accommodation for Test Valley Community Services;
- and electronic passenger information systems.
Work will take approximately 12 months to complete and although the bus station will be closed during this time, the pedestrian walkway into the Chantry Centre will be maintained while work is underway.
Test Valley Borough Council and Friends Life plc will retain ownership of the bus station and Stagecoach will be the principal bus provider operating out of the bus station.

Vaccine quality is the shared responsibility of all handlers of vaccines from the time a vaccine is manufactured until administration. Emphasis on the importance of good policies and procedures, frequent and on-going training of staff, proper equipment and maintenance will help all staff provide high quality vaccines and reduce waste caused by improper storage.
Even with proper education and training, vaccine losses and recalls continue to occur throughout the DoD due to improper storage and handling. According to the CDC, "improper storage is the most common vaccine delivery problem they encounter." Vaccines, like all temperature sensitive products need to be kept at the appropriate temperature range in order to protect our Service members and beneficiaries. Failure to adhere to recommended specifications for storage and handling of immunizations can reduce their potency, resulting in an inadequate immune response and protection of our patients. Good storage and handling procedures at all vaccine delivery locations ensures we always provide our patients the highest quality of care.
Proper vaccine storage and handling practices play a very important role in protecting individuals and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Vaccine quality is the shared responsibility of everyone, from the time vaccine is manufactured until it is administered.

In praise of draws
What's the best and most unique thing about chess? Of course it's the fact that we have long lasting world championship matches. The immense tension is not restricted to one or two hours (football, tennis), or a few days at most (cricket, snooker), but lasts several weeks or even months. This is something we should praise, not condemn.
Boris Gelfand and Vishy Anand shaking hands at the opening ceremony of their 2012 World Championship match
Only two games have been played in Moscow so far and already Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand are heavily condemned on this and other chess forums for playing 'boring chess' and 'not putting up a fight'. People demand the Sofia rule and prefer the 'fighting chess' of Aronian and Carlsen.
This criticism shows not only lack of historical awareness but also betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of world championship matches in general, because they are and have always been about slowly strangling your opponent instead of swiftly overcoming him with flashy aggression.
First, it should be noted that starting a world championship match with a couple of draws is absolutely nothing unusual in the history of chess. In 1910, Lasker and Schlechter started their match with four draws. Eleven years later, Lasker and Capablanca's first two games were drawn. Of the first five games in Botvinnik-Tal, 1960, and Botvinnik-Petrosian, 1963, four were drawn. Karpov-Korchnoi, 1978, started with seven draws and Kasparov-Karpov, 1986, with three. Most of these draws were short and uneventful from an individual game perspective. Yet these were all extremely exciting and tense matches throughout.
Korchnoi vs Karpov in Baguio City, Philippines (1978) started with seven draws
But it's not even necessary to look back in history. Just consider: how did you fall in love with chess yourself? Most chess players I know became interested in chess because they started following a world championship match. For many people the matches Spassky-Fischer, 1972 and Karpov-Kasparov, 1984 formed the turning point in their chess lives as they became utterly absorbed by these epic fights, those outstanding clashes of personalities and playing styles.
For me, Seville 1987 was the match that changed my life, hooking me to chess every since. I remember buying several newspapers every day, cutting out the game reports and pasting them into a notebook with my own comments written in the margins.
Draws, be they long or short, form an essential part of chess, and especially in matches. They are inevitable because the players need to save their energy, because it's more efficient to look at a surprising new idea in your hotel room than behind the board with the clock ticking, and because offering and accepting draws is always a psychologically significant part of a chess game. In short, draws form the basic ingredients of long chess matches. We, the spectators, instead of complaining, should be patiently analyzing every nuance, every detail, every little hint of physical or psychological weakness.
For me, two world championship matches stand out in this respect: Capablanca-Alekhine, 1927 and Karpov-Kasparov, 1984. Yet if you go by the comments on the web, these would now be regarded as the most boring matches ever. Capablanca and Alekhine repeated the same opening again and again (the Queen's Gambit Declined!), with both Black and White, trying to improve play with the subtlest of novelties and improvements. Kasparov sat desperately in his hotel room for months, together with his mother, drawing game after game, many of them extremely short, in order not to lose the match 6-0.
Many QGD's in Alekhine-Capablanca, Buenos Aires 1927 – this photo however is known to be fake
Yet these were classic duels, infinitely more rich and complex than Muhammad Ali's best boxing fights and Björn Borg's epic Wimbledon clashes with Jimmy Connors. And they became classic not only because of the victories that we all know, but because of tension caused by less obvious psychological methods. By repeating opening lines, by sometimes making quick draws, by patiently awaiting the right moment to strike - in short, by not conceding an inch, mentally and physically, over weeks or months.
If you don't like this – if you only like fast, aggressive action - then you don't really like chess. Don't spoil it for the rest of us. Go watch wrestle mania or something.

Agree 100%. I find most of those complaining about drawn games are either very young, or don't play over-the-board chess anyway. Their loss if they don't really understand chess.
I am old enough to remember following the Fischer-Resevsky match live. The issue is not the draws, but the draw with a lot of play still in the position (because both players do not want to risk a loss). A FIDE rule change could easily stop this modern corruption of the competitive quality of our great game.
That´s to the point.
I´m no advocate either way on this issue, but it seems that the anti-draw lobby is (partly) misrepresented in this otherwise fine post.
Oh, btw, you know of course this photograph of Capa and Alekhine is a forgery. An amusing one, but still.

This is exactly the point of the article. These 2 players are not there to give you a good time. Nobody who plays chess, does that to give the audience a good time.
If you want decisive results, chess is not the game for you (once again, as the article pointed out).

"If you want decisive results, chess is not the game for you (once again, as the article pointed out)"
That makes it sound as if there is something wrong with preferring a couple of decisive Kasparov wins over two GM draws. But the whole idea about people being against draws as a result is just a straw man argument, of course no one would have complained about the last game between Lasker and Schlechter if it had been drawn instead of a win for Lasker. Some games are just more exciting than others and nothing will change that.
I'm sorry but it is not a "modern" corruption. In the 1920's chess fans would get excited with anticipation when Alekhine, Capablanca and Rubinstein would appear in the same tournament. All too frequently they made short draws with each other and then all tried to score the most points against the lesser players.

First, it's a different equation when the match is max 12 games, to be decided with rapid games in case of a tie. Second, the substance of these two drawn games is also much much less than the draws of Kramnik-Kasparov 2000 or Anand-Kasparov 1995, for example. I followed both those matches on the internet and nobody complained of too many draws (except Kasparov after he lost!). Are people complaining now for no reason?
Go on, I dare you. Show the match draws from history that you mention - the games - and show how many moves were found over-the-board compared to the present games.
We know chess is a draw, and we are even OK if continued progress in theory results in an increase in draws. What we are not OK with is a world championship where the players are indifferent lumps of coal. Anand has not been playing and Gelfand is currently 21st in the world.
And you're right, the games of Carlson and others put the lie to the notion that theory has caused boring games. Even the draws of Kramnik (which, I concede, are often criticized) are usually very theoretically interesting. Despite attempts of the press to spin these first two games, they are really just miniatures.

Thank you Arne!
thank you for speaking on behalf of the silent majority (i want to believe) that really enjoys chess!
and thank you again for the epic epilogue dedicated to bullet-raised internet haters:
"If you don't like this – if you only like fast, aggressive action - then you don't really like chess. Don't spoil it for the rest of us. Go watch wrestle mania or something."

Couldn't agree more - the downside of the internet is that everyone can moan and whine about anything, so loads of people without much knowledge of what chess really is are able voice their (trivial) garble.
I just wish it was possible to filter it all out.
I fully disagree. I think the criticism is directed somewhere else. Many complaints are caused by facts. Gelfand recently said that he will try to lure anand into blunderland while he draws himself out of trouble. But fact two is far more important: most people, including me, feel that the challenger spot should be represented by one of at least 3 other players. Furthermore, Gelfand qualified for this spot facing the weakest opponents in the Kazan roster and did so by taking advantage of it's system, as many others attempted to do. The percentage of wins in Kazan illustrates the point. Finally, a comment on Gelfand's play. Not a big fan of Gelfand's play, it's simply effective but cold and passive, full of fear or "too much respect" as many put it. Aronian, Carlsen, Kramnik and probably few others are stronger players than Gelfand. I think Kasparov's comments on the match aim in this direction and I agree with him 100%.
To my understanding, no one is criticizing the existence of them draws, nor their function, as we all understand draws form an intrical part 'of the game of chess'.

Just to name few (to put it mildly) controversial points(this would turn into Ebook otherwise):
´Most people feel...´ has much more to do with , lessay, Eurovision song contest than any sport. Also , the somewhat metaphysical terms such as ´No1´ (meaning nothing more than Elo No1) or`stronger player(s)` are way too easily used in the text.
Kaspy´s recent comments are simply echoing his post-Kramnik match bitterness , and he was impolite enough to state them publicly (again...).
If Carlsen plays vs Vishy, it will be a true fight for the stongest of the chess world, being a fight between the world champ vs the no 1 rated player and arguably the strongest of all at the moment. Instead, we get to see and old zar sadly fighting to draw the match and hope for an inspiration moment against Vishy. Anand on the other hand, is relaxing and having a blast getting in shape vs an opponent who doesn't offer much. Once he feels the game again, maybe game 4 onwards, Vishy will push one into a win and kill Gelfand when he tries to catch up in the score.

Have you actually watched the Kazan matches? Gelfand was playing the sicilian almost exclusively with black! The petrov is in his repertoire but he decided to fight. So I don't agree that Gelfand's play is passive and full of fear. Plus, since the Kazan matches led to quarter and semi-finals he can't have played only weak opponents. Grischuk was very far from weak, although I resented his steering to rapids from the word go.
Besides, the two draws so far were hard fought opening duels with draws being agreed on positions with very little life left in them.

"Not a big fan of Gelfand's play, it's simply effective but cold and passive, full of fear or "too much respect" as many put it."
this is just crap. check your database and you will see loads of exciting Gelfand games. in kazan for instance he certainly was the biggest fighter and the most creative player there.

Thank you Arne for writing a different point of view.
I agree with you, that a draw is not a problem in general in a world champion match. Also the played moves were very interesting to analyse and not obvious to find.
I do not agree with you, that these short draws are ok, because of the following reasons:
1. the number of games is only 12 and not compareable with any of the mentioned battles. It will not take months to decide the next world champion, because of Tie brake. I do not like this, but it is a fact.
2. I play over the board chess myself and especially in the first game on my level against the bishop pair a draw is not obvious. I think even Nigel Short asked Gelfand, why he did not continue playing. I am quite sure that Anand-Gelfand would have drawn also after 40 more moves, but I would like to see them and learn how to draw this.
3. I also think for chess marketing, fighting games are better to sell. A draw is ok, but not if there are so many pieces on the board and most of the audience will not draw the final position against a GM. For that much money it seems like they are not working for it. For me personally this is not a problem, because I do not make a living from chess.

This column is funny. The author claims expertise on the history of chess and then posts a photo of Alekhine-Capablanca that is essentially proven to be a hoax. Such is life I guess.
Correction on the first game. The bishop pair was going to come off the very next move and the c and e pawns as well. Besides the first game was quite amazing. Just look through all the possible crazy side lines involving ...Bxc3 in the opening or just read through GM Shipov commentary.
Most people with complaints are just not going over the games asking questions about the various moves played and not played. There is a lot to learn. For eg the significance of ...Kh7 in the second game dint occur to me for long until I happened to read the commentary. Also it's important to follow commentary by different people to fully learn all the nuanced involved as some commentators miss some things that are mentioned by others.

Good thing the author is not too actively involved in chess anymore otherwise I'd be a bit worried. As we can see there is still a minority of chess people who wish to hold chess back but slowly they are being extinguished. This is definitely the most unappealing W CH match in recent memory from both the chess world and general media.
I am against the Sofia rule, because I find it disrespectful to the players. I highly dislike the idea of an authoritarian-type rule that tells the players what to do in a game.

If you're playing for pleasure or an event where I've paid to play, then I totally agree with you.
However, if I was being paid to play, such as an elite invitational then I'd be happy to abide by whatever rules and guidelines were imposed by the organiser.
A Sofia rule is necessary to keep the players from being disrespectful to the chess playing public.

What the general audience do not like , is players coming at the table , playing their opening preparation or spending a bit of time remembering it after a few moves , and then agreeing a draw out of the opening because claiming there is no edge
People want to see players to think over the board as much as possible and concede the draw only if the position requires it mechanically , because they think it will encourage fighting chess
The comparison with 1927 Buenos Aires and Kasparov-Karpov is difficult , in 1927 the Queen's Gambit was the only "playable" opening in a match , it was not just Alekhine or Capablance , the theory was still in its infancy , besides the match was twice longer , and Kasparov-Karpov was a 48 games marathon , so it's more logical to see short draws there
I think that if you make a comparison , it should be with the previous Wch , Kramnik-Topalov , Anand-Topalov .
For me , it's too early to judge after only 2 games where players were sizing each other up and checking the prep of the other , but we must also take into consideration that both Anand and Gelfand and players over 40 years old , they are experienced masters , so perhaps their style of play is less aggressive than younger players even though they are both extremely strong in sharp positions
Also we must look at the psychological position : Gelfand is a very solid player with nothing to lose , playing what he knows best , whereas Anand is under tremendous pressure to prove he can outplay Boris and keep the title , so basically , Gelfand is waiting for Anand to take the risks unless he finds a weak spot in Anand's play over the board , whereas Anand knows taking risks against Gelfand is highly dangerous and that the first one to lose a game will have a huge blow and very hard time to win the match : So both players are cautious and it reflects in their play , even though they know the match is only 12 games , so if they keep drawing until game 6-7 and are tied , then the pressure of winning a game will be much higher and we may see decisive games in the second part of the match
Topalov-Kramnik (Sofia rule) : no short draws, and Anand-Kramnik nearly none.
So comparison-wise there is no reason to worry about silly draws. But like many said, the psychology and style of the players have a strong influence.
And that's were I feel slightly uncomfortable in this match. I do not agree with you on the position of Anand and Gelfand. To me (so far) it looks like it is Anand who is waiting patiently for Gelfand to show a weakness. And Gelfand though well prepared and agressive seems insecure after the opening, even with an advantage, considering his time usage. The clock might have been a major reason to draw the first game. With Sofia rules we might have seen a decisive result already.
But as it is I'm afraid that we may see quite a few half games, that is if Gelfand doesn't crack and none of 'm hits a mine ofc.
In the Lasker-Capablanca match in 1921, out of 14 games, 5 were draws in 30 moves or less, and there was one 31-move draw.
In the Capablanca-Alekhine match in 1927, out of 34 games, 9 were drawn in 30 moves or less.
I have to say, from a fan's perspective, chess engines take the fun out of it. I go to another site, where you can see the engine analysis, and people comment....everyone is an armchair GM, and the atmosphere can be quite arrogant, with over-reactions to any move, due to the slightest engine eval changes.
I miss the day when people used their own grey matter to find a move, and not look down on super GMs just because some chess program says the move was not "the best".
Put simply Arne, the majority of commenters here (and elsewhere) are idiots and really know very little about chess.

I take it that you consider yourself to be above all mortals or perhaps the second coming of Jesus Christ?

A soccer (football) game that ends 2-2 is more interesting than a soccer game that ends 0-0.
In 0-0 the imbalance in favor of defense over offense is too extreme.
But in chess there is no such dimension as Goals Scored.
Therefore: Most drawn chess games are Not analogous to the fun of a 2-2 soccer game.
I too don't mind draws but I fail to see why the author of this piece thinks that people with other opinions should be directed away from chess. Ok, their complaints can get repetitive and tiresome but no one is forced to listen to these complaints and there may be something in it as well.
After all, the short and limited wch matches of now are not comparable with the endless matches of 1927 and 1984. BTW, the latter was from halfway on one of the most boring matches in the history of chess and consequently it led to many problems and the eventual and abrupt termination of the match. 1927 and 84 are clearly not suited for this kind of reference and that is one of the reasons why I find this article poorly written.
More importantly though is that the author basicaly tells people to p*** off and stop watching chess entirely just cause they have another opinion, even if it's ill founded.
Anyway, I am fine with the status quo, but I wouldn't mind either if Anand and Gelfand were forced to play on to the 40th move or first time control. There is no reason to think that a match would be ruined by implementing such a simple rule while there are obvious benefits attached to it.

Wireless Site Survey Using a Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
웹캐스트 - recorded | 시간 및 장소
What is the webcast about
Rapid expansion of wireless services, consumer expectations and needs, and the complexity of wireless communication signaling approaches have made a huge impact in today's society. But along with this added value comes spectral crowding, difficulty in deploying new services, and higher potential for interference. These factors have made site surveys a necessity in a range of industries including military, medical, regulatory agencies, and wireless service providers.
This webcast describes the fundamentals of site surveys and illustrates the use of the Agilent N934xC handheld spectrum analyzers (HSAs) for site surveys. These HSAs are easily capable of meeting the requirements of modern site surveys; which has not always been the case with site survey equipment used.
Who should attend
Field Service or Installation and Maintenance Managers, Engineers or Technicians in the wireless service, military, medical or regulatory agency areas who are responsible for operating or maintaining their communication infrastructure.
Ken Carolus, Business Development Manager, Agilent Technologies Microwave and Communications Division.
Ken Carolus is a Business Development Manager at Agilent Technologies. He has been working for HP/Agilent Technologies for 30+ years in various roles including developing base station test training classes utilizing HP/Agilent's various field test tools.
