Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
A short, boxy jacket and three-quarter length sleeves lend an almost doll-like quality to this white suit by Yves St Laurent at Dior in 1960, and casts a retrospective eye towards Chanel's celebrated boucle suits. Dior's famous New Look, characterised by narrow waistlines and wide skirts had a long reign in the world of haute couture, and the Gallery recently acquired a coat dress in chestnut silk satin by Dior in about 1955. This dress belonged to Faith Eaton, the Queen's doll restorer who lived in Little Venice, and the suggestion has been made that this outfit was far to grand for her, so was a perquisite from the Queen or Princess Margaret in the late 1950s. Another black cocktail dress of the same date was bought from Christian Dior, London around 1956, followed by a dress dated 1960, when slimmer and shorter styles were popular, and daywear was increasingly required to look neat, chic and simple. The final three images show the Duchess of Windsor's Dior outfit of about 1950 which she commissioned to have interchangeable wide and narrow skirt, exemplifying the 'New Look'. The Gallery acquired this at auction in 2007.
Dior's died suddenly in 1957 leaving behind a fashion house at the peak of success. House of Dior has maintained its position in the forefront of couture, employing its iconic logo to good effect in peripheral accessories and products as varied as perfume, luggage and handbags. A series of high-profile head designers working under the Dior label, starting with Yves St Laurent, and including such figures as Marc Bohan and John Galliano, have added glamour, humour and panache to the respectability of a long-established company, and ensured its continuing success.

Support Bay View
John Manke is an active former Bay View resident who is involved in numerous neighborhood organizations, including the Bay View Historical Society, the Humboldt Park Fourth of July Association and the Shore Shore Farmers Market. He believes Bay View has a fine tradition in its past that we do not want to lose in the future.
Summer is finally here
Summer is finally here. We at least have some warmer weather without having to turn up the heat. The weather has been great without too many thunderstorms. Take your family outdoors and relax together. Enjoy this beautiful weather. Visit one of our county parks and let your children and/or grandchildren relax in the play area. Go to one of our county pools to cool off.
Be sure to come to the South Shore Farmers Market at South Shore Park, 2900 S. Shore Dr. in Bay View, on Saturdays, from 8 AM to 12 Noon. There are over 40 vendors to serve you. The kettle corn people have said that they will be there every Saturday this season. Y'all come and join us at the farmers market.
Come to Humboldt Park on July 4th
We have scheduled a full day of entertainment for Independence Day at Humboldt Park. We begin with a morning parade at 9 AM that travels from E. Lincoln Ave. and S. Kinnickinnic Ave. south on S. KK Ave. to S. Logan Ave.. It then goes down S. Logan Ave. to E. Idaho St. to the park. We have morning games afterwards.
At 11 AM, we have 1860's style baseball at Keltner Field in the park. Rainbow Randa will perform near the park pavilion. In the afternoon we have a children's vehicle judging. We have contests for doll buggies, coaster wagons, tricycles and bicycles decorating for various age groups. While the vehicles are being judged, "Dancers with Woofs" will perform for us. After this there will be a small children's parade to the park chalet and the audience can view all of the entries.
Watch out for heat exhaustion
When it gets very hot and humid outdoors, please be careful of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If your body has trouble handling the heat, it can overheat and break down. If you have plenty of water you should be all right. If you feel the effects of the extreme heat, go inside and cool off. If you are exhausted, then get some bed rest. Don't wait for a heat stroke to happen. Protect yourself at all times. Please support the Bay View community.
Thank you to all who helped us at Humboldt Park on July 4th
I wish to thank everyone who helped us celebrate Independence Day at Humboldt Park on Monday, July 4th. The Humboldt Park 4th of July Association was able to celebrate this great event since 1910, 101 years. Our sponsors made it possible for us to pay for most of the costs needed to run this special event. Our volunteers are our lifesavers. They performed all of the needed tasks that made this day a success. Much hard work was done by our volunteers, and they deserve special thanks for all that they did. I hope that our sponsors will continue to support us in the future. Likewise, I hope that our volunteers will continue to help us out in the future. It takes many people and a lot of donations to continue our program of providing a full day of activities on Independence Day. Once again, thank you very much everybody. Let us hope that this program will be there for more generations of people to enjoy.
Did you enjoy Independence Day?
There were many activities going on Independence Day. At Humboldt Park we celebrated our 101st anniversary and the centennial of the Milwaukee 4th of July Commission. It was at Humboldt Park where the all day Independence Day celebration in a safe and sane way started. Too many people were getting maimed, burned and badly injured due to careless handling of fireworks. The people at Humboldt Park formed the Humboldt Park 4th of July Association to produce a safe day for the entire family to enjoy. What we have now in our parks is a direct result of this action. A full day of family activities was set up to eliminate the need for careless fireworks and injuries. I am proud to say that I have been a member of Humboldt Park 4th of July Association for over 20 years. Maybe you can become a member and give us your input on the planning of our Independence Day activities. All interested people are very welcome to join us in keeping this tradition alive into the future for more generations of people to enjoy, much as we did when we were young.

Welcome to the 62nd South Shore Frolics
4 PM -- Fish fry by Hawg City Grill
Bay View Historical Society's Southwestern Border Walk Features Churches
What major street was shifted to avoid a three-way intersection involving the street and two railroads? Where can you still find old farmhouses in Bay View? What major automaker purchased a dairy farm and built an assembly plant on the land? Which restaurant was built as a rooming house for apprentices of a major Milwaukee factory? Where in the past on Howell Ave. could you find a blacksmith shop and a foundry within one block of each other? Which church held its first services in the home of one of its members and then named its congregation for that member's home church in England? Which congregation was formed in a church that is still standing and that was built in 1873 by employees of the Milwaukee Iron Company? Which church changed its name during World War I in keeping with a nationwide trend to eliminate German references? Which church left its original congregation due to a disagreement over lodge membership and held its first services in the old Odd Fellows Hall?
You can learn the answers to these questions and more while visiting the historic sites featured on the Bay View Historical Society's Southwestern Border Walk , a two and a half-hour guided tour on Saturday, August 6th, at 9:30 AM. Society members Ron Winkler and Greg Wernisch will lead the walk, which is open to the public.
Watch out for heat exhaustion while running a marathon
On Saturday, July 9th, several runners who came across the Hoan Bridge from the Summerfest grounds had severe heat exhaustion and had to be taken to a hospital. There was a shortage of water bottles for them and they became dehydrated. On hot days with high humidity, please be careful. The life you save may be your own. It is too dangerous to try running in a marathon under those conditions. It is better to be cautious and alive than sick and injured. Also, seniors and young people should watch out to protect themselves for the same reason. Too much heat and high humidity can become a killer. Enjoy your summer, but please do so safely. Please support the Bay View community.
Have fun at the "Chill on the Hill" concert series
I hope that you don't have to use the rest room while you are at the "Chill on the Hill" concert. I have been told that the restrooms are locked and the port-a-jons are also locked. If somebody wants to correct me, just let me know. At the Independence Day celebration at Humboldt Park, we heard complaints about the restrooms being locked and the port-a-jons being padlocked. If more information was available, then I could verify what the problem was about. It is bad enough that the restrooms have been deemed unfit for use, but could we at least be able to use them when needed? I wish that the Bay View Neighborhood Association would explain exactly what is happening at the Humboldt Park Chalet, that the restrooms are locked.
The South Shore Frolics were great
Outside of the heat, the South Shore Frolics was a great event. The fish fry was good, the parade was good, the music was good, the Classic Cars were fun to visit, the Bay View Arts Guild area was a success, and there were some good fireworks displayed. I wish to thank all who helped in planning and working the Frolics. You did an outstanding job. This is a great Bay View tradition for all to enjoy.
An apology to Bay View Neighborhood Association
I wish to apologize to the Bay View Neighborhood Association and Terese Crain and Patty Pritchard Thompson. I must have received incorrect information about the restrooms at the Humboldt Park Chalet being locked on July 4th this year. I am very sensitive about the restroom situation in the park. You and your group have done much to try to improve Humboldt Park. Your work has been outstanding. The outdoor blue port-a-jons are rented by the Bay View Neighborhood Association and therefore private for "Chill on the Hill" needs. Humboldt Park 4th of July Association has no direct conection to the Bay View Neighborhood Association. We are both dependent on the park staff for our needs. Cliff Hale and his crew are outstanding people and have always helped us as best they can. I again apologize for my statements in my Blog "Support Bay View" --" Have fun at the "Chill on the Hill" concert series. You are correct and I am wrong on what I stated.
We could use some rain now
.. With our current heat wave, we could use some rain to cool us off. The ground is becoming very dry. Our strength is weakened by high heat. Let us hope that some rain will come soon. A cool night will be appreciated by all of us. Please support the Bay View community.
The South Shore Farmers Market is open again
Now that the South Shore Frolics is over, the South Shore Farmers Market will resume its normal Saturday, 8 AM to 12 Noon, operation. Come and enjoy an outdoor market that is open to everyone. Cherries from Door County should be available. Fresh corn is about due to arrive also. Bring the whole family and have a great time.
Thank you for the great surprise birthday party
They caught me off guard and had a surprise 70th birthday party for me at the South Shore Frolics Fish Fry. I wish to thank everyone who came and was involved in it. It was certainly unexpected. I thought that since my birthday was July 12th, that nothing like that would ever happen. Thank you everybody who was involved and helped plan this event. I deeply appreciate your efforts.
Hot days are here again.
Please be careful in this hot humid weather. It could be dangerous to animals, elderly, children and all people who tend to do too much outdoors. When you begin to feel the heat, go inside and cool off. Air conditioning is perfect for all of us. If you feel overheated, then cool down and get some rest. Watch out for younger children who do not know their heat limits. Check up on elderly people to make sure that they are ok. Have a good time relaxing in this weather. Please support the Bay View Community.
Happy 25th wedding anniversary to Al and Debbie Skibinski
On Satruday, July 22nd, we attended the 25th anniversary party of Alan and Debbie Skibinski. Father Alan Jurkas was there to repeat their wedding vows of 25 years ago. After the repeating of wedding vows in a short religious ceremony, we all sat down to eat a great meal. Their son then did a disc jockey type music program to dance to. It was like going to a wedding reception, 25 years after the fact. This was a party for family and close friends to attend. We had a great time there.
Humboldt Park Watch "Corn Roast" fundraiser at "Chill in the Park" concert
On Tuesday, August 9th, 2011, the Humboldt Park Watch will hold its "Corn Roast" fundraiser. It will be located close to the Humboldt Park Chalet during a concert of the "Chill on the Hill" series. Fresh corn on the cob will be available to be purchased at the park. This is the main fundraiser for the park watch group. Everybody is welcome to attend this event. Parking will be scarce, so come early. The corn will be served sometime after 6 PM. Y'all come and join us for a night of fun and entertainment.

Dial-A-VoltsReview by K9Luvr
Perfect Combo with a Smileomizer Review by Powerful and long lasting
But never before (or anywhere else it seems) have I got all these volts to go along with the auto feature.
Tanks were nice but a large smileomizer and the XL DAV is now my favorite combo.
Lasts alllll day but I do need two in rotation because charging takes a while.

My ideal E-CigarReview by Gene
About a month ago, I discovered Vapor4Life and I purchased an Automatic Dial-A-Volt kit (650 mAh) and some Smileomizers. Unfortunately, the DAV was not available in cigar color, but the small auto DAV with a Smileomizer is the closest I have been able to come to finding my ideal E-Cigar.
I have loved it from the first day (though I wish it were available in the cigar color), but being a former cigar smoker of many years, I did not like the way the Smileomizer's silicone mouthpiece felt in my mouth. The center section seemed too soft, and it occurred to me that it would be much improved if the mouthpiece were the same density over its entire length, rather than firm on the ends and soft in the middle.
After some investigation and experimentation, I discovered that sliding a short length of food grade silicone tubing (6mm inside diameter x 9mm outside diameter) onto the metal Smileomizer shaft (underneath the silicone mouthpiece) completely changes the feel of the mouthpiece and gives it a consistent density along its entire length. As a result, the mouthpiece is more comfortable and feels much more stable in the mouth when vaping hands-free. The ideal length for the silicone tube is 12.5 mm, because at that length it butts up firmly to the larger diameter metal base on the bottom and it doesn't interfere with the silicone mouthpiece locking into its notch on the top.
With this minor modification, I have finally found my ideal E-Cigar. Now if Vapor4Life will make the DAV batteries available in cigar color, I will be in E-Cigar heaven. Great job, Steve! You have a customer 4 Life! (Posted on 6/10/13)
Janet HReview by Wow... What an EXCELLENT auto battery
I think the black is very sexy looking and fits perfectly with the smileomizer, but looks and performs equally as well with a tank. With the smileomizer, it takes on more of a cigar like look, which is good for some, but for a more demure look, the auto DAV and a tank is GREAT!
If you are looking for a long lasting manual battery, with style and functionality, look no further! This is like no other on the market! You might want to order more than one, as you will not want in on the charger, you will want it in your hand at all times!
Enjoy the journey ~ it will be a smooth ride with the Auto Dial-A-Volt!!!

My FirstReview by Sheila
glad I tried it Review by waylonjessi4ever
Mine was mostly charged when i received it .I got about 8 hours out of it and it is going on charger this morning .
I should also say that other then this is my first super batt in auto
I like the look of this especially with the 3.5 tank, fits flush vs. the v4l ego that has that gap. I like the black as it will match anything and the dial is super easy to turn .It is comfortable to hold .
I put a tank on it with the 1.5 dc carto .NO primer puff needed .
I needed to start with the 3.7 then move it up to 4.2 and while it was good ,I knew it would be better with a 2.0 or 2.5 dc carto for my taste.
I did not even attempt the 4.8 setting with this carto .
So ,on to a 2.5dc fresh, brand new ,clean tank ,some medium strength menthol i have .
Oh yes this is IT ! 4.2 but move up to 4.8 when I needed a bigger punch ( ie stress ) perfect .
The vapor production i find is much better then the ego .You can also hit harder then the manual ego and I did not hit a cut-off.
Now the premium cool cart cartos ...
3.7 setting is perfect for me here ,i tried 3.2 then moved up .
I really think its going to depend on what juice you have ,thick or thin ,coffee or tobacco ,and you are going to need to make sure your carto is topped off because otherwise its overkill and you will need to use your titan 808s or your v4l Ego ( both of which will remain in my rotation ) .
I am a die hard manual girl but I am glad i tried this, it will go with me whenever i go out for the day and it will be so darn nice not to take 3-4 stick batteries with me and change out .
And I agree there are times when i need a heavier throat hit or punch then my titans even though keep in mind i am a "moderate " vapor. .
So ,if you need a bigger throat hit then with the titan or the ego ,I suggest you try it .
Thanks to V4L and Brandon (Posted on 3/26/13)
Best auto I've tried.Review by Lisa
Love the Battery LifeReview by iowa gal
The majority of the time I have it set a 4.2 as well but did play with the lower and higher end and really noticed a difference. There are some juices I use that could really benefit from the adjustments. My one and only complaint is the charging time. I have been seeing 11-12 hours for a charge. In general I prefer not to charge batteries when I'm not home or am sleeping..but due to the charge time I have been plugging this in over night.
I have acquired quite a variety of vaping supplies over the past couple of years...but this DAV is perfect for on the go and will remain in my daily rotation for sure. Would be 5 start if the charging time could be reduced. (Posted on 3/20/13)
The Automatic Dial-A-Volt "Consumer Review"Review by Skyler Salva
When I first got my Auto D.A.V. I didn't even have to charge it, even though I threw it on the charger to see if it did, it was at full charge so I started using it right away. I was very much shocked, as well as pleased with the new design. Unlike the Manual D.A.V. the automatic is a bit slimmer, and holds nicer in your fingers, but at the expense of slimming the battery, the battery is slightly longer. For me this is no big deal as I have no preference in length on the extra large batteries. This mod just likes it's brother, will come in four sizes, they are as follows:
Small - 650 mAh - 6-8 hours
Medium - 900 mAh - 8-9 hours
Large - 1100 mAh - 9-11 hours
Extra Large - 1300 mAh - 10-12 hours
I personally always vape an extra large, because I enjoy charging it less, even though the charging time is longer; I compensate for that by having two batteries, so I am never without.
Another plus to this model is the threaded tip, the Manual D.A.V comes with a bulky steel head that the thread sits on, much like the 510, or eGo batteries. This personally does not appeal to me. However the Auto D.A.V. is a slim batteries all the way to the thread, just like the old 808D batteries the VK, and VT. Because of this thread, the battery works very well with the new cart V4L has designed for the new model, which I will be covering in my other review.
The voltage adjuster on the bottom is the same as the Manual D.A.V., and there for you will be accustomed to it right away out of the envelope, if you've used D.A.V.'s in the past. The thread on it is also a standard 808D modeled thread and works with all carts and tanks provided by V4L that are 808D threaded.
Even if you weren't a fan of automatic batteries I would recommend this model to you because it vapes just as consistent as the Manual D.A.V. My personal opinion is that it also vapes better than all of the previous automatic batteries I have tested from V4L.
It is well worth the money for such a sleek designed, automatic battery, and of course the manufacturer is none other then the best in the business Vapor-4-Life. (Posted on 3/19/13)
Dial-a-volt Field testing ResultsReview by grandpawrichard
At 3.2 volts I got an Immediate start up without a primer puff. It was a pleasant tasting surprise. Very, very Mild flavor, but a bit too mild for my liking. I still had a good clould of Vapor, but the throat hit is too mild for my vaping preference. It might be Perfect for someone that likes a very mild hit; or for a Beginning Vapor that hasn't learned how to use their product.
At this minute I am on the 3.7v. setting. I am getting a strong cloud of vapor, a bit more Robust flavor, a bit more throat hit that is quite pleasant, but not over powering and I am enjoying this new contraption very much. :)
Wow! I just ran the setting up to 4.2v. and I was instantly amazed at how much Vapor cloud I am getting! Not to mention how much more wonderful Spearmint Flavor I taste! The throat hit went up quite a bit at this setting. I think I will be using this setting with this flavor, but I am going to try the last setting before I decide.
Here I am at 4.8v. I have a huge cloud of vapor circling my head. My mouth is filled with a heavy Peppermint flavor and I am coughing my head off! 4.8v. is a bit too much for me right now, especially with Spearmint Nobacco. I think I'll dial back down and only use the highest setting to experiment with other flavors or during those times when I Really Need a Heavy Hit!
This setting is definitely for those people that like a Heavy Throat hit and massive clouds of heavy, but wonderful vapor; not for me.
One other thing that I would like to point out that not many other people might notice: The size of the Dial-a-volt is absolutely Perfect for me and my BIG Meat Hook Hands! Especially now that I have had a stroke and my Right hand is weak, so that it likes drop Pencils, Pens, and my other V4L Ecigs! This is a God's Send For Me! Thank You BHam and V4L! You ROCK!

DAVReview by jj2
Thanks to BHam and V4L, I got the opportunity to try this out.
Way back in 2009 when I took up vaping, I, of course, started with an auto. Before the first year was over, I went manual and never considered using anything else.
Over the next 3 (close to four) years, I had the occasion to use an auto (other peoples) and every time that I did it only confirmed that I'd made the right choice.
My first thought was, "Wow this is one long battery!!!"
This turned out to be no biggie since it took virtually no time getting use to holding it in my hand.
It's about half the length of what is in the picture and a whole lot slimmer.
The annoying cut off wasn't there, or at least I never kicked it in.
The battery adjusts from 3.2 to 4.8 volts.
Never used it enough to kill the battery, but I put it on the charger before going to bed.
It did make it through a long day (7 AM until about midnight).
I tried a clearo, a cartomizer, a dual cartomizer, and a Vivi Nova on it.
Like us humans, they all have their own personality and with a simple twist, I adjusted to make each a perfect fit.
I use VG but as you can see, it gave me the power to get plumbs of vapor (no primer puff needed).
And yes I have changed my mind about autos. :)
Thanks for the opportunity to try it out BHam!!! (Posted on 3/18/13)

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Smaller, younger & softer, it's just as much of a kitchen workhorse as its hulking cousin. Use it when you're looking for smooth richness & a hint of fruit, instead of gamy, salty intensity.

Anand-Gelfand, the closing ceremony (VIDEO)
One day after the tiebreak the 2012 World Championship match came to an end with its closing ceremony, held in the Tretyakov Gallery's Engineering Building, on the same stage where the games had been played. While we were travelling back from Moscow on Friday, we also edited the following summary video of the ceremony which includes the speeches by both Anand and Gelfand.
Here are the speeches given by both players.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy to have played this event here in Moscow, the World Championship, and I'd like to thank a few people. First of all I'd like to thank the sponsors, Mr Filatov, Mr Timoshenko, I'd like to thank the Russian Chess Federation, the Tretyakov Gallery and everyone responsible for the superb organization. Of course I'd like to thank FIDE for their supervision. It was a very difficult and long struggle but I would like to especially say that my opponent would always come to the board, write something on the scoresheet, then come backstage and greet me warmly, and then we would come and play the game. So even though it was a tough struggle, I think my opponent Boris Gelfand contributed a lot to that it was played in the right spirit. I think his achievements in this cycle have already inspired a lot of attention for chess in Israel and I just want to wish him all the very best. I also want to say it's been wonderful to play in front of such an appreciative audience. Today we just returned from the pleasure of an audience with the Russian President. He had actually followed it and we discussed the match, which was very enjoyable. I'd also like to thank my wife and my team here, for their support. I think it would be difficult to go through such a difficult match without their help. I will go back with a lot of pleasant memories of this match and I think Moscow is a fantastic venue for it. Thank you all again.
Good afternoon. I would like to thank all the people who were involved in organizing this wonderful event, this festival we've all been part of, which was followed closely, with enjoyment, by millions of spectators. It has been a holiday to me and it's a pity it is now coming to its end. I'm sure we've set new standards for organizing such events. For a long time we haven't have anything on this level, so once again thank you very much.
There is a big collection of photos by Alexey Yushenkov at the official website. We'll give a few of them which depict the key moments.
Vishy Anand, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and Boris Gelfand next to each other in the first row
Anand would receive two trophies. The one on the right is the winner's trophy: a gilded figure in the form of a chess board rolled up into a scroll. The corners of the scroll bear the inscription: World Chess Championship Match, Moscow 2012, The State Tretyakov Gallery. It was designed by Konstantin Novikov. The playing board shows six great combinations from the history of chess. The one on the left is the Tretyakov Gallery Prize, which takes the form of a cube of optical glass, within which is the Golden Chess Crown. The cube shape was chosen deliberately by Andrei Molchanovsky: in symbology the cube is a three-dimensional depiction of a square, representing strength, durability, wisdom, constancy and truth. The sides of the cube are designed in the form of chess boards, which symbolise good and evil and bar the way to the Golden Chess Crown, the main goal of the contestants.
Anand receives the winner's trophy from FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov...
...and not long after also the champion's ribbon and laurel wreath
Both players received a painting from main sponsor Andrei Filatov
A special Championship Envelope was produced in honour of the match, and stamped and signed by the players at the end of the ceremony

The laurel wreath is too small. Anand can still carry it without assistance. A shame, really.
Nice speeches by the champ & the challenger, and very fancy trophies/rewards. A fine ending to fine and quite ´friendly´ match ;)

Come, let us crown him chess king of all!
Both the trophies are beautiful.. Even the FIDE president has his eyes on the crown within cube trophy. Anand's tie is hanging lose a little bit around his neck but it is a nice tie. The closing ceromony appears nicely organized. This video presentation is nice as well!
Anand, we want to see many, many more! Congratulations again.
Re-unification is now complete. 12 long years of struggle behind us. And, what a beautiful outcome.

Both trophies are spectacular! Peter, can you put up more pictures of the trophies, or better still, publish an article about how they were designed? Its been a long time since I've seen anything so intricate and beautiful.
1 year 10 months ago
Indeed the trophies are beautiful.
The paintings are nice too. Whom does the long-haired character symbolize in the painting (in the background depicting the players at the board)?
It's unfortunate that they depicted a demon as somehow being involved in chess. I'm sure the Seventh Day Adventists will seize upon this since their church prophetess was adamantly against chess.
Back in the 19th century it also provoked controversy : <...It is the large painting of Seated Demon (1890) that brought notoriety to Vrubel. Most conservative critics accused him of "wild ugliness", whereas the art patron Savva Mamontov praised the Demon series as "fascinating symphonies of a genius"...>, from the link above.
Infact it has nothing to do with Chess and nobody is claiming an reference. It is a museum that promotes art with a variety of creations, artifacts, and paintings. mixing religion into chess is an avoidable flight of fantasy.
I'm joining Kramnik and many others who consider chess to be a form of art, and not just a game, a sport, an educational tool and an object of scientific research. I feel it's an honor and a pleasure for chess enthusiasts that the Tretyakov gallery decided to get involved in this match. Chess has inspired art for as long as it exists, and sometimes artists use religious motives in their work, usually in subtle ways. I can certainly see some parallels between the struggle of Vrubel's demon and that of a world championship contender. Here's another weblink describing this work of art: http://www.tanais.info/art/en/vrubel5more.html
Wow, two contenders for the world title, each determined to win, yet greeting each other warmly before every game. That's an example to all of us amateurs, and it makes the crown shine just that little bit more :) Also the artistic touch of the Tretyakov gallery, materialized in such marvellous trophies, has added inspiration to the event. Good luck to the new and old world champion, to his outstanding ex-challenger, and to the talented (rather) young who are about to take a shot at becoming the new challenger.

Kudos!! finally some rational comments on chessvibes .. i was loosing heart on the amount of negative vibes towards a legit challenger and a legit champion .. fans are still rational and will hopefully understand the struggle these two have come through to reach the pedestal of a title match .. it means much more than winning private tournaments .. it means winning a candidates cycle and then the championship ..
Great ceremony!...now how to get chess on TV...After all, both darts and the national spelling bee were on ESPN last week.
Thanks to the sportsmanship that both players exhibited through out despite tremendous expectations from home crowds. (No infamous toilet gate etc..). All chessworld has to unanimously Appreciate both.

Obviously very well organized WCC-Match in definitely fabulous environment at the Tretyakov Gallery. Certainly a tough match consisting of more than just 'meets the eye'. Carried out in relatively good spirits all the way through actually by everybody and sectors, it seems. I liked these interpretors at the press conferences - good work. Net broadcast studio was excellent with outstanding commentators. What more one can hope? Besides Anand, this was a succes for Russians ( in media etc. - in my view ) because it was done with such a 'style' and well. Rarely, if ever, I've seen so artistically beautiful trophies and painting(s) having meaning regarding Chess.

Who said this duel was n't goood!
See Anand Music therapy below:
When Israeli challenger Boris Gelfand struck a 'heavy blow' to Viswanathan Anand's defence of the world title by winning Game No.7, the Indian grandmaster returned to his hotel located near the Red Square and switched off from the game. He did not brood about the loss. Rather, he tuned into the British sitcom Fawlty Towers.
"On the day I lost, I watched Fawlty Towers because you want to laugh your head off," Anand told The Sunday Express hours before travelling from Moscow to his hometown Chennai.
On other evenings after the game, the World champion watched episodes of British comedy Yes Minister and reality show Only Fools on Horses, which involves celebrities trying their hand at equestrian events. "To unwind in the evenings I would watch a mix of Yes Minister, Only Fools on Horses," the world champion said. His wife Aruna was around to ensure that Anand remained in the right frame of mind irrespective of the outcome of the day's duel.
When the games turned intense, 42-year-old Anand, while waiting at the backstage, would hum Jamaican reggae artist Sean Paul's catchy number 'She Doesn't Mind' till Gelfand completed his move. This song was played often when Anand's entourage reviewed the day's proceedings once back at the hotel.
For Anand laughter proved to be the best medicine as his decision to watch British comedy after the loss in Game 7 lightened his mood and put him at ease with just five games remaining to catch-up. Anand responded by winning Game No.8 and went on to eventually defend his title in the tie-breaker last week. It was during one of his backstage reggae-crooning breaks that Anand spotted Gelfand make a big mistake in Game 8.
"Game 8 went beautifully. I assumed Boris (Gelfand) was trying to double his lead rather than sit on it. He was very motivated but something clearly went wrong. (Anand set a trap for Gelfand which entailed Gelfand making a blunder of playing Queen to f6). And then I went backstage. I was waiting for my move. I had seen Queen f6 but I was telling myself that is too naive to expect it to happen and then I suddenly saw him make a move from the back of the board. I looked up saw it was Qf6. I thought 'oh god!' I came back, checked it for a few minutes and then just went for it. He thought for a while and resigned," Anand said while looking back at his campaign, which he described as the toughest encounter of his five titles.
While he was considered the favourite going into the Championship, Anand disagreed. "I never saw myself as a favourite. There were a lot of people who kept saying I was favourite but they simply missed the plot. I expected a tough, nerve-wracking match, and I got a tough, nerve-wracking match. It would have been insane to underestimate Boris and I don't think I would have done that. But I didn't come here clearly with high expectations. I came here as someone who expected to fight for his life."
When World Champion Anand said: "I'd like to thank a few people". ...... I thought, this could take awhile. Stevie Wonder came to mind. He's known to have credit lists a mile long, acknowledge everyone from the sponsors to the putz-.frau.

anand should have pressed gelfand in the classical games where he had large time advantage in an equal position instead of wimping out.
showing true champion spirit.
i just wish gelfand had played his normal game rather than letting success in game 7 go to his head.
rapid games are a poor substitute for real chess
well at least its over!

Kazan, Moscow - draws, draws it is a result of Fide ruling WC
PCA, Braingains- corruption. It's all to do with Kasparovs' involvement.

I'd say it was more due to GM Keene, who had been stealing and robbing money since the 80's.
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.
There is everything to applaud about the match, and the two players, except for the absurdity of deciding a world champion in a four game blitz match.
FIDE is an embarrassment to chess -- silly time controls, "no tolerance", drug testing, Kirsan, and twelve game world champion matches with blitz playoffs.

The following exchanges cannot be done at FlyFrontier.com at this time: tickets that include an infant on an adult's lap, unaccompanied minors, EarlyReturns® award redemption tickets, and tickets that have already been exchanged one or more times.
If you are unable to make an exchange online, an exchange can also be made by Frontier's Reservations Department or by your Travel Agent, depending upon who originally issued your ticket. To make a change to your itinerary for a ticket that you have purchased on FlyFrontier.com or through our Reservations Department, please call Frontier Reservations at 800-432-1FLY (1359). To change the itinerary on a ticket that you purchased through a travel agent or another travel website, please contact your travel agent or the travel website. If you choose to make a change with a Frontier Reservations agent instead, an additional external ticket handling charge of $25 will apply to change a ticket that we didn't issue. This charge applies to any ticket issued in the United States by a traditional travel agency, an online travel agency, or another airline.
Once paid, the Reservation Handling Fee will not be charged on any subsequent itinerary changes made to the same reservation.
When a ticket is exchanged prior to the day of travel, you will be able to pay the applicable change fee on your existing ticket and pay the applicable fare difference to select any of our Fare Options for the new itinerary. Please be advised that if you exchange a nonrefundable Basic, Economy or Classic ticket and apply the value toward a refundable Classic Plus fare, the original ticket amount will remain nonrefundable if the new Classic Plus ticket is later cancelled or exchanged.
We are sorry to hear of any emergency situation, but we know life events happen. Because of this, we offer flexibility for all ticket types as described in the chart below. All non-refundable Basic, Economy, and Classic fares lose their value if the customer does not call to cancel prior to the scheduled departure of any ticketed flight. Classic Plus tickets are fully refundable and may be changed or refunded without a fee at any time.
If you are requesting a change in travel dates for one of the reasons above, please call our Reservations Department at 800-432-1FLY (1359). If you are requesting a refund for one of the reasons above, please complete and submit the online refund form.
Immediate family members include a spouse, domestic partner, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Eligibility applies whether the relationship is biological, adoptive, step, in-law or domestic partner, foster, or ward/legal guardian.
For Classic Plus tickets, there is no refund processing fee. For Classic, Economy, and Basic tickets, the refund processing fee is $50.
In the event you choose to change your travel dates, Classic, Economy, and Basic tickets which are cancelled prior to travel and all Classic Plus tickets are valid for one year from the date of issuance. The value may be used as credit towards the purchase of a new ticket during the validity period.

Using alternative data to determine worthy borrowers could have generated $1.7 billion for credit card issuers and $1.9 billion for the auto loans industry last year, a study by Javelin Strategy and Research, and commissioned by LexisNexis, found.
Certain customer segments, such as the underbanked and very young customers under the age of 25, often have little credit history and are difficult to evaluate for credit worthiness, the study, called "Evaluating the Viability of Alternative Credit Decisioning Tools," noted. Banks have tried to fill the gap by asking for supplemental information from such customers; customers have to get the information requested and this can lead to a drawn-out underwriting process that discourages many customers from seeking credit.
"The study points out that while lending is currently rebounding from an economic recession, traditional measures of credit-worthiness are falling short and consumers are defying pre-recession risk categories," Mark Luber, LexisNexis' vice president of data and analytics, said in a statement released today announcing the results.
[See Related: Oracle Launches New Compliance and Risk Management Solutions]
A number of vendors today already provide alternative credit decisioning tools that help lenders find consumer information that can't be found in traditional credit reports and can help predict a customer's ability to repay. Some of the information these products collect can include educational attainment, rent and utilities payments and property assessments, the study said.
A 2007 report by the Center for Financial Services Innovation studied the effect of three different alternative credit decisioning tools on historical records of consumer credit portfolio performances. All three tools successfully helped to identify the most and least risky potential borrowers, the study found.
The study found that consumers are interested in the use of alternative credit decisioning tools because many customers have already grown accustomed to lenders requesting extra information from them beyond their credit report. Banks using vendors to provide such tools need to be transparent with their customers, so that customers aren't suspicious of dealing with vendors that they may be unfamiliar with.
Javelin also spoke with a number of lenders, who expressed interest in using alternative credit decisioning tools and expected the products would improve their lending portfolios, the report said. Compliance remains a big concern for the lenders however, and the study noted that regulators view alternative credit decisioning tools with a bit of hesitation. Regulators will need "assurance of the fairness and permissibility" of the data collection of these tools, and that may be demonstrated through compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Equal Opportunity Act, the study recommended.

New ADA Guidelines for Blood Glucose Self-monitoringPosted: Monday, January 07, 2013
For patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who take multiple daily doses of insulin or are on pump therapy, the previous recommendation had been that these patients perform blood glucose self-monitoring "three or more times daily." Some payers had interpreted that to mean that three tests a day was sufficient for all patients, Dr. Richard Grant (Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, CA), incoming chair of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, noted.
The 2013 ADA advice for patients on intensive insulin therapy is for testing at least before meals, occasionally after eating, at bedtime, before exercise or critical tasks such as driving, when low blood glucose is suspected, and after treating low blood glucose to ensure normoglycemia has been reached.
"We're trying to say it's very situation-dependent . . . both by the patient and the patient's context," he said.
In contrast, for patients with type 2 diabetes who take basal insulin or noninsulin diabetes treatments, blood glucose self-monitoring is still recommended as being potentially helpful to guide treatment decisions "when prescribed as part of a broader educational context," but only when patients are educated about how to make use of the results.
In general, Grant said, for patients not taking insulin, blood glucose self-monitoring "is really not any use if it's not being acted on. . . . If no one looks at the results, there's no sense testing."
With regard to the removal of the three-times-daily number, Dr. Yehuda Handelsman (Metabolic Institute of America, Tarzana, CA) expressed concern that insurers might actually interpret that as endorsing less frequent testing for patients who use insulin.
How messages are conveyed matters, he said. "It's about how you define the goals and where you put the emphasis."
According to Grant, the new document was the ADA's best attempt to balance the evidence from the literature with the needs of the individual patient. "Evidence-based guidelines apply to populations of patients with diabetes, but we really need to tailor these population-level recommendations to the individual in front of us."
