Customers are responsible for all shipping costs to return an item unless item arrived damaged. Shipping charges are not refundable except in situations where an agreement is made between you and Never Enough Auto.

Merchandise must be NEW, unused, and in original sellable condition. Merchandise showing signs of having been installed, modified, mounted, scratched, painted, or defaced will not be allowed. It's the responsibility of the customer/installer to verify the correct fitment and/or vehicle application before installation. For fitment issues, customer must first contact the manufacturer of that product for verification before a return/exchange can be authorized. Please email us for manufacturer's contact information. Returns/exchanges must be sent prepaid and insured by the customer. An issued RMA number does not automatically imply a replacement or refund. All products will be inspected either by us or the manufacturer based on customer claims before any refunds/exchanges are issued. Returned items must be sent back to us within 20 calender days from the time the RMA is issued. If the item returned to Never Enough Auto or one of our manufacturers/distributors is found in violation of the above conditions, it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay for the shipping of the returned item back to the customer should the claim be denied.
If a customer refuses a shipment, they will forfeit all shipping charges of the item to them times two. Once for the shipping to them, and once for the shipping charges we will be billed for the return of the package. The item will also be handled as a Return and will automatically be subject to a restocking fee per the discretion of NEAA unless other arrangements have been made in advance with NEAA. Unclaimed shipments and returned shipments due to nondelivery are also subject to these terms.
Applications Listings:
Never Enough Auto cannot claim to know everything about every vehicle manufactured, especially when it comes to special edition vehicles and submodels. NEAA can only go by the information provided to us by the manufacturer of the product. We strive for the application listings to be as accurate as possible per the information provided by the manufacturer. However, it is also the responsibility of the customer to be aware of the products they are purchasing and what models they fit (Due Diligence). Should you have any doubt, or question the applications we have listed please don't hesitate to contact NEAA or the manufacturer for verification of fitment. Issues that arise from inaccurate or incomplete application descriptions will be dealt with on a per-situation basis at the discretion of NEAA.
& Engine Internal Components
We will not accept any returns of installed electronic components unless there is a manufacturer defect. In that case, the customer can send the item back for a replacement of the exact same item. No refunds will be given in this case, and the customer is responsible for all shipping charges. Electrical merchandise returns and issues will be handled in Warranty situations only. Engine Internal components simply cannot be returned under any condition due to their fragile nature - if something miniscule happens to them it can go unnoticed and then blow up someone else's motor - we arent taking that chance.
If a shipped order arrives with obvious damage, customer is to call Never Enough Auto, or the shipper and file a damage claim. The shipper is responsible for reimbursement payment for damaged goods. Do not install the item! Do not discard the packaging! If you do, you may be forfeiting the ability to make a claim.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
An elephant in the room
Although I'm disappointed by the recent election results, a death in the family has a way of putting things into perspective.
An election is a moment that shifts power a bit, shifts perceptions a little or a lot, and leads the melodramatic to feelings of hope or doom. The more practical among us move toward cynicism, resignation, or resolve.
But a death tears a hole in the fabric of our lives that is never quite mended. On Halloween, my former mother-in-law, Bernice McLaughlin, died. She was in her 100th year, and by most people's measures, they were good ones.
I hadn't seen her in a decade. That wasn't my choice but I respect the wishes of people who have different ideas about the way the world -- and the people who live in it -- should behave.
Whatever else happened in our still intertwined lives, I loved and enjoyed her most of the time. She was a wonderful mother-in-law, making and keeping a vow never to criticize or side against the people her children chose as mates.
She lived, as far as I can see, on Triscuits and chocolate. Slenderness was a huge value of hers, and for years she bought me clothes that were at least two sizes too small. Her daughters suggest it was a compliment. I'm pretty sure it was a hint.
She so disliked food that a visiting chaplain, wanting to assure her of her coming welcome in the next world, had to change his usual metaphor. "A great banquet will be prepared," he began, and then he caught the amused looks of her children. "Or in your case, a cocktail party."
That, or a table with books. This glamorous woman spent a lot more of her time teaching reading to children, just-released prisoners, and others who hadn't had her privilges than she spent socializing.
Despite our differences, we mainly got along and learned to appreciate the good and dismiss most of the bad in each other.
Last night I had an odd dream. I was working in a nursing home. There was an empty room, and in this room I put the elephant that had been sent to me. Every once in awhile, I'd toss it an apple or banana left over from someone's meal tray. Then I forgot about it until someone came running to me, frightened because the creature, starving, was growing rambunctious.
I ran to the refrigerator and found a bag of "baby" carrots and began tossing them to the elephant, knowing it wasn't enough. Thinking how silly to spend time and money grinding big carrots down into little ones just to raise the profit margin on them. Wondering how many mini-carrots it would take to restore the elephant's health.
Soon the other workers came with more food. One had found a bale of hay. A small woman, dressed better than the rest of us, led the elephant out of the room.
On being alone
This was a two-funeral week, following a one-funeral week. So I'm long on reflection.
The first this week was neighbor Jerry, the second cousin John.
Jerry had 17 years on John, but their lives had some common aspects. Both men loved being in the physical world. John was an athlete who operated on playing fields and golf courses. Jerry was an up-north guy who fished and hunted and spent endless hours working in his yard and gardens. Both had served in the armed forces. And both left behind the beautiful women they'd met and married when those women were still girls, really. Jerry and Ellen had been married 67 years, John and LeAnn 47.
I imagine when you've lived with someone that long, you grow entwined. You are like vines that bend and twist to fit around each other, nearly fused in places. When you take one vine away, the other still retains its shape.
There's not much I know, but I do know there are no words to help. We say we are so sorry for your loss, we hold you in our thoughts and prayers, you are loved, I'm here if you need anything, let me do this for you, here's a pot of soup I made: please eat it even if you think you'll never eat again.
Mainly, we put our arms around each other and feel some sorrow together.
I also know something about being alone. It's not the kind of thing you like to boast about. Most of us don't seek that kind of knowledge. It's foisted on us, one way or another.

In Their Own Words – Holiday Card Lore
This "In Their Own Words" is by Ali Dyer, the Social Media Coordinator at Autism Speaks. Her older brother Jeff has autism.
Tis the season of holiday cards! For the past 28 years, our family has sent a photo to our patchwork of family and friends. We are not that family that sends a long newsletter with updates of the fabulous year we had, nor are we the ones that send a generic holiday greeting. We send a photo, of the whole gang, mostly shot with a self-timer.
You should know that before my phenomenal photographer of a mother decided to move out of the dark ages and into the world of digital photography, we were reliant on film. After one of our staged photo shoots, we would run to the one-hour-photo and hope that there would be at least one photo we could send. If not, we were back at it!
My brother Jeff, who was diagnosed with autism 23 years ago, isn't always the most photogenic guy and it is a challenge to get his handsome face to look at the camera natural and at ease. The rest of us have to hang tough, smiling away with hopes that Jeff looks good in one, often making the sacrifice to look our best.
Rather than blame Jeff for unflattering photos of myself through the years, I defer to my mother. She loves everything about the holidays. 'Christmas Carol' is her moniker and with reason! Once her 'Christmas iPod' surfaces, I know that our home will be transformed into the North Pole in no time! She will be decked out in her holiday jewels and sweaters, cranking out thousands of cookies for her adoring fans. Her wackiness really brings us all so much joy during the season.
We keep it with us through the year because every holiday card is featured down our staircase. We are constantly reminded of bad haircuts, braces, wild fashion statements, and terrible concepts. To tell the truth though, I can't help but smile and laugh as I look at them.
I am thankful that these shoots have left behind an entire archive of unused photos. Our cards have popped up everywhere – schools, restaurants, newspapers, you name it, and it's been there! Here are some "misfit" photos (a little Rudolph humor, get it!).
This year, you should know that our card is extra special. In the beginning of June, our family transitioned to a new phase. Jeffery, at the age 25, moved into a group home. It has been a wonderful experience, but needless to say difficult and trying. After two weeks of Jeff getting settled, we took a family vacation to our beloved Montauk, where our photo was taken.
Montauk has always been a safe haven for us. Hopping on a plane was never an option, but piling in the car and heading to the tip of Long Island was. Jeff always had the run of the place and we could enjoy our relatively private beach without the glare of strangers. This year was so special because the five of us were back sleeping under the same roof. Jeff didn't miss a beat making the transition from his new home. He seemed older to me; making his bed, cruising to the beach for an impromptu bonfire, even napping!
On this particular day, we were surrounded with friends. We hit the beach earlier with a whole group of loved ones. Of course it wasn't all relaxation – we all took turns making trips to the ocean to fill Jeff's buckets, which he would dump out moments later. Eventually, we made our way back to the house to make a huge feast. Eat, drink, and be merry!
As light flooded through the dining room and the sky began to change, we knew we had to start moving to show our guests the gorgeous Montauk Lighthouse sunset, the spot of many Christmas cards.
We got to the Light House and hit the ground running; skipping rocks, climbing the jetty, and hamming it up for the camera! I was in heaven. All of us were together again, sharing our favorite place with our favorite people. Jeff was beaming with a smile on his face, ear to ear.
For that night autism didn't matter. The months of sadness and stress were a thing of the past. Our family was able to make it through, in one piece, stronger than ever. Jeff is in a wonderful place and he showed us that night, that we aren't a thing of the past to him. He will always love us and come home to us, even with his newfound independence. As a family, we laughed and loved. This year we had scores of photos to choose from, taken by our friends, on that amazing night.
Pictures say a thousand words, and I think it is important for the folks who receive our card this year to have the back story. Every year our card comes from a place of love, but this year, it may have a little more.
So from our home to yours – eat, drink, be merry, and have a wonderful holiday!
"In Their Own Words" is a series within the Autism Speaks blog which shares the voices of people who have autism, as well as their loved ones. If you have a story you wish to share about your personal experience with autism, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Autism Speaks reserves the right to edit contributions for space, style and content. Because of the volume of submissions, not all can be published on the site.

Hey Al:
Wow !! That was really special. You captured our Christmas Card Tradition and Jeff's transition to his new "other" home perfectly and gracefully. You also nailed on the head your mother's sense of Christmas glee. Jeffrey has made all our hearts soar as evidenced by your words above.
Love ya…Dad
P.S. glad you didn't include the pix of my holding you upside down off the deck ala Michael Jackson
December 2, 2010 at 2:42 pm | #4
Great article, Alison. I shared this with our LinkedIn Group 'Parents with Patience'.
December 3, 2010 at 3:51 pm | #11
Ali….what a beautiful tribute to your family. How appropriate that I read it today as I am approaching the weekend in which we will be attempting to get our own yearly Christmas photo. My son Brett is 6 and loves the camera as much as your brother Jeff! I love the part where you talk about how the rest of you have to "hang tough" and smile while your parents focused on a good picture of Jeff. I tell my daughter who is 9 the exact same thing…keep smiling and looking forward! We will worry about Brett! :O) LOL. Somehow, we have always ended up with a beautiful pic of both of them….my hopes for that to carry over in to this years pic. I can't wait to look back when Brett is 25 and feel these same feelings. What a special family you all have! Have the best of holidays! Becky~
December 3, 2010 at 4:15 pm | #12
Ali–wonderful story with a wonderful message for all those who struggle during the holidays: Always keep looking forward even when things seem so difficult. Because they do get better. In looking back at our holiday cards of our boys (twins on the spectrum), it's amazing to think how far we've come. Thank you.
December 3, 2010 at 9:07 pm | #14
What a wonderful story and what a beautiful family you all are! I would love to see this year's card that you've described so beautifully. Have a blessed and peaceful Christmas and New Year, and good luck to your brother Jeff in his independence. I pray that my 6 year old grandson who also has autism will one day experience that same independence!
December 14, 2010 at 10:22 am | #19
Will we get to see the awesome picture this year on this site?
Great piece–as a teacher of preschoolers with autism, I will share it and they can begin their 'wall of wonders' of the family portrait and know it is ok just the way it is!
All of my families do not have computer access, but those who do will get the link directly that way!
Thanks for sharing!

Oh my I can sure relate to this. I have 3 boys and boys are more difficult to get photos of but my son with autism is just like your brother. I love the photo where it looks like he putting his finger in his nose. I have so many pictures of Brandon either picking his nose, bitting his fingernails, doing somehting weird with his lip, and or staring off. I used to get so discouraged but I now love these pictures!! I'm sure your mom loves these pictures as well. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you have been such a help with your brother. I hope my 2 other children will do the same. I'm confident that they will though. People like us that are given such a gift even through rough times, seem to have very big hearts.

Anand-Gelfand: the aftermath (UPDATE)
The Anand-Gelfand World Championship match finished four days ago, but the news stream hasn't stopped yet. Vladimir Putin inviting the players at his office, Anand's arrival in India, Gelfand's return to Israel, the reactions on Twitter, Kasparov's criticism, Anand's reaction... In this article we'll mention the most important developments since Wednesday and include the most striking quotes.

Not long after they finished their tiebreak, both Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand were invited for a cup of tea by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting took place on Thursday morning in Novo-Ogaryovo, an estate in the Odintsovo District of Moscow Oblast to the west of the city and a suburban official residence of the President. The Kremlin website provided a transcript and here's part of it:
VISWANATHAN ANAND: I've been coming to Moscow from the mid-1980s to practice chess and I must admit that I have benefited immensely from interacting with Russian chess players and the school of chess here. I've always enjoyed my visits to Russia and this time especially the organisation was superlative.
We played in a very beautiful gallery, the Tretyakov. Overall I would say I enjoyed the Russian hospitality a lot this time.
I would like to thank Mr President for taking the time to meet us. For us, this is a great honour.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Thank you very much for your kind words about Russia. I hope that you will visit Russia and our cities many times in the future. You are the world champion, and I am sure that chess fans, and other people as well, will always enjoy any activities with your participation.
BORIS GELFAND: I grew up in Minsk and every time I came to Moscow I visited the Tretyakov Gallery, a wonderful museum, and I could not even dream that one day I will play in the world championship final in this wonderful museum and a treasury of Russian art.
Due to the busy Moscow traffic, the players almost arrived too late for the closing ceremony! We were told that Boris Gelfand spent his last night in Moscow with his wife and his team. The Anand team in fact was invited for dinner by the Ambassador of India for Russia, Ajai Malhotra.
Friday was mostly spent travelling. On Saturday Anand received a special reception at the Chennai airport as a huge crowd had gathered, among them many school children wearing Vishy masks. Government and chess federation officials were also present. Here's a video by NDTV.
Upon Anand's arrival, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, madam J. Jayalalithaa, announced an award of Rs.2/- Crores (US $360,000 / EUR 290,000) for Anand, and mentioned the support from the Tamil Nadu government for a local chess in schools project. Meanwhile, the All Indian Chess Federation has thanked the CM for her gesture in a press release.
Although he didn't win the match, Boris Gelfand was certainly welcomed as a winner when he returned to Israel. He landed at Tel-Aviv airport on Friday and according to YNet News, all those present at the terminal gave Gelfand a round of applause, as dozens of fans held up signs and presented him with flowers. Gelfand thanked those present, saying that he was very touched and satisfied.
I didn't realize it will be like this. I heard that people in Israel closely followed and that the entire nation watched the games. I was truly excited, and I hope this will elevate chess in Israel to its rightful place. I think it's a very good thing for the public that every child will know what chess is.
Below is a video of Gelfand's arrival at Tel-Aviv airport.
You can find more about Gelfand's return to Israel in this Chessbase report. To the Haaretz newspaper, he said that "the great support in Israel is a huge thing" for him.
Already on Thursday, Gelfand seemed reasonably down-to-earth about his loss. Here's how he described his feelings to the same newspaper:
It happens, like in Barcelona against Chelsea, when it led 2-0 against 10 players and also got the penalty kick. I can also score a goal sometimes and miss a penalty kick. All in all it was a great duel. I can only regret one truly mystical moment in the third game of the tie-breaker series, when I had an advantage and then I moved my rook away that 999 times out of a 1,000 I wouldn't dream of doing. I came here feeling sure of myself, but I played against a great master who was absolutely capable of causing me problems and also of handling some of the new things thrown at him by my team. Up until the 10th game I was pretty much in control, and then Anand recovered, thanks to his hard work and that of his team of advisers.
More and more chess personalities are active on Twitter. We've collected a few reactions:
Judit Polgar
What a nail-biting tie break at the WC! I certainly enjoyed every moment of the play off. (...)
Ian Nepomniachtchi
Congratulations to Vishy Anand, who retains his title! But my sympathy prize undoubtedly goes to Boris :-)
ECU President Silvio Danailov tweeted:
Nobody said the truth.Very boring match for chess was saved by the tiebreak and the brilliant organization from the Russian Chess Federation
Well, as we know Mr Danailov wasn't exactly the only one who complained about a lack of excitement in Moscow. We'll just mention GM David Smerdon's blog post and GM Judit Polgar's blog post, in which she wrote:
Some say the 12 classical games were not so exciting. I have admit, I think that some of them could have been played out longer really. On the other hand, the rules do not forbid to offer a draw any time of the game at all. So when you have big, no sorry, ENORMOUS pressure and there is nothing more you want but to win the overall match and you believe that half a point makes you to get closer then, of course, you do not care about the spectators, if they are happy with what they see or not.
Levon Aronian
Congrats to World Champion Anand! Great comeback in the later stage of the match! Gelfand deserves a praise for his creative & dynamic play!
Mig Greengard
@LevAronian What, did they play another match? ; )
Levon Aronian
@chessninja How come the less a person knows about a subject, the more he treats it with disrespect.
Gata Kamsky
Looking at the last few world chess champ matches, it makes me sad that chess at present is 80% preparation and only 20% is about the game.
It's time to start looking at one of Fischer's greatest inventions, fischerandom chess. No more teams of helpers, or even draws, pure chess!
Since the demise of the Mainz events, perhaps FIDE should consider at least trying to make fischerandom startup events and ratings.
Because, fischerandom chess, imho, is the future...mark my words.
Pentala Harikrishna
Brilliant victory!!!
(Natalija Pogonina collected a few more tweets with reactions about the match.)
One of the strongest reactions on the match came from Garry Kasparov. Shortly after the match, the 13th World Champion spoke with Sergey Shipov, who posted the comments on his forum.
Anand played a terrible match, but it seems it wasn't meant to be that Gelfand would beat such a weakened opponent. Anand played wonderfully in the 2008 match against Kramnik, adequately against Topalov in 2010, while his current play is on an entirely different level. The tie-break was beneath contempt...
Anand got lucky that Gelfand qualified to play him. If the Candidates Matches in Kazan had been run under the 6-6-8 system (6 games in the quarter-finals and semi-finals and 8 in the final) then Gelfand's chances of getting to the World Championship final would have been minimal. Someone else would have played Anand and he could have won. Let's say, Grischuk. Never mind the fact that Carlsen would have played in Kazan in that case.
I'll repeat once more that the current match for the title had nothing whatsoever to do with determining the strongest chess player in the world.
(Translation by Colin McGourty)
Deccan Chronicle quoted Anand's reaction to Kasparov's comments, described as a "rare display of irritation".
I think that this is the first time I have played a match where so many people seemed to have negative opinion about my play. And the thing is I do not think I lacked motivation. [Kasparov] keeps talking about my age but I could just as well say Boris (Gelfand) is even slightly older. I think the problem is all the people who started out assuming that I was the heavy favourite in this match were reluctant to admit that their prognosis was wrong. (...) This was Gelfand playing well and me trying to play equally well, hang in there and wait for my chance. But all those people who said I was a favourite were reluctant to admit that they were wrong and were simply saying that I lacked motivation and was playing badly and so on and on. And I definitely feel like I proved something here. (...) But it was very satisfying, especially when the ambiance around you is so negative. In the press conference they more or less keep repeating what people like Kasparov said. It is not secret that I have had difficulty in a couple of tournaments and my confidence therefore suffers a bit. But I think under those circumstances if you can hang in there and win like this then it is all the more satisfying.
We'll conclude, by popular demand, with one more photo of the splendid trophy won by Anand - the one provided by the Tretyakov Gallery and designed & made by Andrei Molchanovsky.
The photo was in fact taken by Eric van Reem at the start of the match, which gives us the opportunity to mention one last time his highly entertaining blog about the match!
Update June 4, 08:23 CET: Anand gave an even stronger reaction to Kasparov at a press conference on Saturday, which was quoted by several Indian media, e.g. Times of India:
He is the man who regrets leaving chess. He misses the attention he got in chess, somehow wants to be there. May be he should play again. Kasparov retired in 2005, he has been trying to make me retire since 2011. You just have to develop a thick skin as a public figure.
And here's a lengthy interview with Vishy and Aruna Anand by IBN Live:
1 year 10 months ago
Kasparov was right, obviously.
And the fact that the Champion and Challenger went to shake the dictator's hand and have some tea was kind of disgusting.
It's called diplomacy. India and Russia have good relations and there is no way that an Indian citizen is going to snub Vladimir Putin. Even when Churchill and Roosevelt had a meeting with Stalin I can assure you that they were both polite to him. Diplomacy.
I believe that Stalin was polite with them too. Diplomacy.

Vishy's remarks are perfectly reasonable, but his narrative is not at all inconsistent with what Kasparov and many others are saying: Vishy was not playing to the level of his prior peak performances yet he was able to win because the challenger, even if this was HIS peak performance, didn't even have what it took to surpass Vishy's uninspired play. I also note that Vishy does not say -- and I doubt he would if pressed -- that the match games reflect the highest quality chess by any measure. He is too honest for that.
Indeed, Vishy's level of play in the championship is remarkably consistent his recent major tournament performances, where he has been very difficult to beat but, on the other hand, has had great difficulty accumulating sufficient plus scores to be a real contender. Vishy has been forthright about his disappointment regarding the quality of those tournament performances and there is no reason for his fans not to view this match as precisely more of the same.
Vishy did not choose his opponent. Gelfand became the challenger in an irregular, ill-conceived, and unprecedented candidate system that was subsequently dropped like a hot potato amidst near universal criticism. But that was the process FIDE concocted this time, Vishy retained his title fair and square, and he certainly has my congratulations for winning the match. He has been a great talent and honorable champion and, under the circumstances, I am happy that he will receive yet another big paycheck to defend his title one last time.

It crosses my mind to think that if Garry Kimovich wishes to opine in such a way, perhaps he should refrain unless he's willing to actively compete for the title himself... ?

@Horia, they (A+G) did nit shake the dictator's hand BUT the FIDE president's hand. It has nothing to do with hypocrisy or dimplomacy.
Please be a bit more respectful in your choice of words (dictator). He may not be overwhelmingly popular or a clean winner from a plebiscite, but he is the Russian leader and as the head of state of a great nation, needs to be accorded highest diplomatic respect.

Rubbish. A dictator is a dictator is a dictator...You don't know anything about politics, that's for sure.
Same thing for the head of Fide who is a crook.
Judging by your view Adolf Hitler- a DICTATOR- who was very popular at a certain time should be treated by respect. And he was. Until....
This is purely Putin propaganda. Anand and Gelfand are pawns. The fight is between Putin and Kasparov. Conspiracy theory. Anand makes a silly comment that Kasparov needs attention. Ha hah ah. Kasparov will always be legendary kasparov, anand only great. Obviously Anand has been paid by Putin to speak against Kasparov. one day Kasparov will take Russia to a new high. Goodbye Putin. The god's mills grind slow but sure.
the world knows how putin is where he is. did they put a gun to gelfand's head and asked him to lose? after all putin's photo goes with anand to wider coverage for themedia than with gelfand.

I am saddened and surprised that there are so unnecessary and biased political comments against the World Champion, who is one of the most non-political and nice persons. Anand behaved with dignity when the Indian HR minister wrongly said he was not a citizen of India and he is not going to play politics in meeting the President of Russia. He was being gracious and truly respectful of the Russian people, Russian culture, and Russian hospitality, which is the way Anand truly is.

It is called respect. Respect for the position of the leader of Russia. You respect the position even if you don't respect the man. Putin is the leader of his country and Anand represents his. Very simple.

Kasparov greatly praised Anand when he beat Kramnik for the wonderful way he had played. So I doubt he has an agenda to make Anand retire at a time when Anand is not head and shoulders above his peers.
That is because Kramnik roundly thrashed Kasparov in their "World Championship" title match and refused to give Kasparov a rematch and Kasparov wasn't prepared to go through candidates to earn the right to challenge Kramnik.
Kasparov was no doubt happy that Anand beat Kramnik.

Yeah, Kasparov is always right in his own mind and the mind of his apes. He was also right about the match he played/ost against Vishy in 2008:
"Anand played wonderfully in the 2008 match against Kasparov, "

Of course Kasparov wants people to think Anand must have played incredibly well to beat Kramnik...after all, Kramnik, Kramnik beat Kasparov for the title. Kasparov is a chess genius nonpareil, but everything he says that has a chance to be self-serving, is.
However, his opinion of the Anand-Gelfand match doesn't have any ulterior motive I can see, so I would take it much more seriously. The only thing I don't quite understand is, why he thinks Grischuk would have been so much stronger a challenger than Gelfand. As I recall, Grischuk didn't win a single classical game to get to the final of the challengers' matches. That wouldn't have boded well for a 12-game classical match against even a weakened Anand.
"Grischuk didn't win a single classical game to get to the final of the challengers' matches"
But he faced and eliminated both Aronian and Kramnik, and was pressing against Gelfand until the latter got in a very strong novelty in the last game. Not easy to beat the two favourites in tough tiebreaks and then have a third match immediately after that, and I think Grischuk is a better player and Gelfand (just like I think Aronian and Kramnik are better than Grischuk, even if such things of course don't show in knockouts like the one in Kazan).
As for Kasparov's stating that Anand played very well when beating Kramnik that is just the truth. After six games he had three wins and with some luck he could have won five of the first seven. Compare that to the match against Gelfand where his winning one of twelve was due to a horrible blunder in the opening that Gelfand won't repeat any time soon.
´Grischuk didn't win a single classical game to get to the final of the challengers' matches´ - he also didn´t lose a single game, playing 8 of them against Levon+Kram.
Additionally, common commentators are belittling Gelfy´s mamooth preparatory work ( think : iceberg) and Vishy hitting bullseye in his prep against Vlad, early lead made his match vs Vlad quite unbalanced. Gandalf´s level regarding homework was much higher(call it luck if you want o,O).
Totally agree with the Kasparov comments. I think everyones being very unfair to Gelfand. If winning candidates was nothing ,then why even have it.
Actually i was just watching the documentary which covered the match he played with Deep blue.
What a bloddy sore loser he is . No doubt he is the best chess player ever , but is a whining pussy in everything else. Gelfand i think gave a good rebuttal during the match.
Sunil, I agree that Kasparov is a jerk, however there is strong circumstantial evidence that a human grandmaster intervened and helped Deep Blue with certain positional moves during the match.
When Kasparov became suspicious of this he threatened to pull out and so IBM promised to share the logs with him after the match if he would finish it. After Deep Blue won the last game of the match IBM got a big boost in their stock price and went back on their promise and
and disassembled the machine and destroyed the logs. They said the match was for research but apparently there was only one acceptable outcome for them.
Actually they did put up the logs on their site for a while for every one to see i think. I agree there may have been an intervention ,but you don't behave so childishly like he did. Even after his loss against Kramnik he demanded a rematch even though the contract clearly didnt have that option and when Kramnik refused it , he said he wouldn't play candidates . That is showing total disrespect for the system. You certainly dont want these kind of personalities for a role model ,but unfortunately in chess you have a history of eccentric champions.
IBM cheated....but GK did not quit because the losers share of $$$ was too much to walk away from.
IBM did not pay Garry a penny for the match he played against Deep Blue. They said in so many words--take a hike punk.
Who stepped up w/ the $$ and payed Kasparov?
a) FIDE President Kirsan Illumzhanov
b) Amercan President Bill Clinton
c) Russian Chess Federation
d) Apple founder Steve Jobs
good luck mates. n, enjoy yourselves.

It seems 50% of Kasparov's time these days is spent holding others in contempt (the other 50% is spent promoting himself).
PCA, Braingames-- corruption, corruption mainly due to R. Keenes' and G. Kasparovs' involvement.
Did Kramnik ever get his Trophy back from these, Raymond Keene and G.arry Kasparov, thugs? You know they actualy stole his winners trophy from the London match. Low lifes.

It seems odd to suggest that Judit Polgar agrees with Danailov, Smerdon (and Kasparov): The given quote is just a small part of the blog post and doesn't say anything on whether the moves that _had been played_ were or weren't exciting. Longer games that still end in a draw might not make spectators happy, at least not biased ones such as Danailov and Kasparov (who had made up his mind already before the match!). And longer classical games almost certainly wouldn't have been as exciting, entertaining and blunder-struck as the tiebreak games ... .
She shows lots of respect for both players. About Gelfand she wrote "I know Boris for a long time and I am not sure who else could I name who has so much dedication for the game, enjoys the tournaments, takes the training sessions this seriously. ... (As I know him, I can say, that he is not only an excellent player, but a very nice person, too)". And at the very end she calls Anand "the best chess player on the planet of the time" - which may be exaggerated and may put her on the blacklist of certain Carlsen fans.
BTW does Gelfand speak Hebrew in the video? If I remember correctly, some time ago in an interview he said that he still has to learn it!?
1 year 10 months ago
Nothing wrong with Polgar's claiming that Anand is the best player in the world at the moment, but I think it mainly has to do with people very much wanting and needing the World Champion to always be the best player in the world.
Anand squeezed past Gelfand with the smallest possible margin and has not been able to reach a plus score in any of Bilbao, Tal Memorial, London, Bundesliga or title match. He has also said that he started preparing for the match in January, so his results in 2011 had nothing to do with being in a preparation phase.
It will be fun to see Anand in Bazna later this month, I would actually enjoy seeing him play excellent chess, beat Carlsen and win the tournament. But I would like to see at least one tournament win after all these winless years before stating that he is stronger than players like Aronian and Carlsen.
"Anand squeezed passed Gelfand" Ha, this makes sense only if one realizes Anand just defended his title against the Israel Defence Forces (military). Yes, he beat the global Jewish community at their own game. Even so, still half the world chess champions are jewish. Ok, there are a couple half jews like Kasparov....but,
"Anand squeezed passed Gelfand with the smallest possible margin.." @ridivivo

What's this b*** about jews. You used to make far greater comments RC, I hope you will get to that again soon.
@S3 B***? No beef. Really. I just want to emphasize that there was no "squeezing by" GM Gelfand the tired oldman rated 20 something on the Elo List, the push-over.
GM Anand barely squeezed by GM Gelfand and a very well prepared team of experts. That was, no doubt, heavily supported by the global Jewish community, and the Russians' School of Chess.
Three plus three will tell us they were well funded and equipped with the best weaponry (hardware, software, counter intelligence, you name it) available because of that support.
It is no secret Jews dominated world chess for many decades.They own about half the wch titles.
This false image of Gelfand the weakling has to stop. It can ruin the credibility of the match.
We know this is their, the nay-sayers, intention.
Of course Gelfand was no pushover (and ofc no beef:) ) the games clearly show that. Anand could only win one classical game not because he played badly but because Gelfand didn't make serious mistakes. And he was super well prepared. He played way better in comparison with Kramnik and Topalov vs Anand. Very few GM's could have played this match as well as him.
But I'm pretty sure that Gelfand didn't need/get help of state agencies if that is implied. Both contestants are fair players, they ain't like Kasparov who will do anything to win.

Fructose a Negative for Diabetes PatientsPosted: Sunday, December 11, 2011
Although it negates the dumping of glucose directly into the bloodstream, fructose may not be an ideal sweetener for diabetes patients.
According to James Rosenzweig, MD, of Boston University, fructose's links with hypertension, adiposity, and increased uric acid levels could potentially outweigh its immediate blood sugar benefits, especially among patients with diabetes, who already have or are at risk for such comorbidities.
Rosenzweig stated that, "There are conflicting results, regarding the effects of fructose, but fructose itself may have metabolic risks compared with glucose."
Fructose which is the main sugar found in fruits is a monosaccharide like glucose. But unlike glucose, which requires insulin to move it into the body's muscle tissue where it's processed into energy, fructose is metabolized by the liver. There, it's converted into glycogen, a starch, and lipids.
Some researchers have speculated that since it negates the need for insulin, it may serve as an ideal replacement for glucose in diabetics' diets. But several recent studies have scrutinized its effects on metabolism -- some of which could add to comorbidities already seen in this population.
Some studies have shown that fructose intake is linked with higher levels of serum triglycerides, potentially contributing to adiposity and weight gain, Rosenzweig said. It's also been tied to increased levels of uric acid, which can lead to gout and kidney stones, he said. Chronically high levels of uric acid have also been linked with atherosclerosis, which Rosenzweig said is troubling given that hardening of the arteries is already a known complication of diabetes itself.
And fructose overload also may be associated with high blood pressure -- another common comorbidity among diabetics -- and some of that data have come from large-scale epidemiological studies such as the National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey.
The same problems could be associated with high-fructose corn syrup, which is a polysaccharide that's chemically similar to plain table sugar, or sucrose. The molecule is half fructose and half glucose, but the gastrointestinal tract breaks it down into its respective monosaccharides, Rosenzweig said.
Thus, diabetics get the initial dumping of blood glucose, plus the liver hit of fructose, which generates lipids, he explained, adding that there's no discernible metabolic difference between sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. He cautioned that some of the studies have involved large doses of fructose -- far larger than what would represent a normal intake -- so the effects could be exaggerated.
Moreover, the American Diabetes Association doesn't recommend fructose as a substitute sweetener for glucose, he said. It does, however, recommend fruit intake as part of a healthy diet -- though the amount of fructose in fruits is hardly enough to contribute too significantly to obesity, he added.

SEC announces launch of sports network
Published: Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 6:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 6:55 p.m.
The conference that seems to have it all now has its own television network.
Facts about the SEC Network
Format: National 24-hour SEC programming, including about 45 football games and 100 men's basketball games a year. All of the 21 sports in the league will get coverage.
Launch date: August 2014.
Length of the deal: The SEC and ESPN signed a 20-year agreement.
Where you can see it: In your home if your cable/satellite provider strikes a deal with ESPN to show it. The network is expected to be in an estimated 30 million homes in the South.
The Southeastern Conference and ESPN made it official in Atlanta on Thursday, announcing that the long-anticipated SEC Network will launch in August 2014. The conference and its primary rights holder have signed a 20-year contract.
"The benefactors of this are the fans," ESPN president John Skipper said. "The fans are going to have an opportunity to see more games, see them produced better than ever, see them on a more widely distributed platform.
"It's not only about football and basketball. We're going to have an opportunity to do a lot of other sports — gymnastics, track and field, swimming and volleyball, etc."
The 24-hour network will annually televise approximately 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men's basketball games, 75 baseball games and numerous games and matches involving all the league's 21 sports, along with featuring original content.
"The SEC Network will provide an unparalleled fan experience of top quality SEC content presented across the television network and its accompanying digital platforms," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. "We will increase exposure of SEC athletics programs at all 14 member institutions as we showcase the incredible student-athletes in our league.
"The agreement for a network streamlines and completes an overall media rights package that will continue the SEC's leadership for the foreseeable future."
Skipper said that the network will be a national one, with an emphasis on saturation coverage in the 11-state SEC region. ESPN and the SEC are in the very early stages of negotiating with cable and satellite providers, so viewers will not know where the network is available until a later date.
"We believe this conference has national appeal," Skipper said. "This is not a regional network. This is a national network. We understand the 11-state SEC footprint is the most important.
"But there are a lot of SEC fans in California and Michigan and New York and Connecticut and Virginia and Nebraska. We expect to be in all those places, widely distributed with this network."
AT&T U-verse has been secured as the network's first national distributor. ESPN's Justin Connolly, who will oversee the network's day-to-day operations in Charlotte, N.C., said he doesn't anticipate a problem selling the network to providers.
"It's still very early in terms of our discussions with distributors," Connolly said. "I will say that having the fastest-growing distributor on board 16 months in advance of launch certainly provides us with a whole lot of optimism.
"We have 16 months to have those conversations in advance of launching the network. We feel good about the opportunity that exists on that horizon. We're literally just getting into those conversation and discussions right now.
"We will target the widest distribution possible in the 11-state SEC footprint, carried on a similar level of service as ESPN. Then outside of that 11-state footprint, we will target a level of service that might be compared to where ESPNU is today. That's the approach we're seeking to take."
Slive said the network will feature three SEC football games every Saturday. The league continues its agreement with CBS, which will still have first pick for the afternoon game.
The SEC Network also will carry a league game in the same time slot.
"The CBS afternoon window is exclusive," Slive said. "We've come to an agreement with CBS. We will put a challenging game on our network in the early window, afternoon window and the night window.
"We will have a content board to decide which games to put on the network."
Starting in 2014, SEC football games will be televised by CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and the SEC Network. Slive said all but two of those games will be on Saturday.
"We're a Saturday league," Slive said. "It's Saturday when our fans want us to play football.
"We have agreed to play only two Thursday night football games annually. That will not change. What we wanted to do is make sure that we had maximum opportunities on Saturday."
Slive and ESPN would not reveal financial terms of their agreement or the amount of revenue the network could generate for the SEC.
"This network will be very successful in terms of distribution and ultimately the development of potential significant revenue," Slive said. "At this stage, it's premature to get into that.
"We would not have done this if we didn't believe it was going to be in the long-term benefit of this league in terms of distribution and revenue."

I'm verry pleased with this router base. Used it to rout the cut-outs into kerfings to fit the bracing. Went just perfect. Hope to get it to do the same job for some inlays. Only remark: to bad there's no air-pump available for european 220v. I'll use my vacuum cleaner instead....still looking for the reverse gear shift on that one :-)
Oh and congratulations on the DHL shippement....(ordered on Wednesday, received in Belgium at my doorstep on Friday seems almost an impossible thing to do, but that's how they do it) thanks, Stephan in Antwerp, Belgium

Can Texas A&M give UConn women a test?
|Connecticut's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, left, collides with Texas A&M's Skylar Collins, when chasing a loose ball in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Hartford, Conn., Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2011. Connecticut won 81-51. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
STORRS — Cynics of women's basketball will try to minimize everything UConn accomplishes this season with the misguided logic that a lack of competition means nothing the Huskies do, short of winning a national championship, should be taken seriously.
The Huskies' ability to tune out expectations has always been a key to their success. While it may be true that only two teams, UConn and Baylor, are capable of winning the national title, plenty of challenges lie ahead.
