Mountain Rose
Vegetable and Carrier Oils
Vegetable and carrier oils have a plethora of fine uses which include acting as a carrier for therapeutic applications, as an excellent addition to your culinary creations, as a lathering agent for soap, and a binding medium for cosmetics. It is hard to imagine where we would be with our creations, if it were not for the goodness and substance that pure oil provides.
At Mountain Rose Herbs we are committed to providing you the most magnificent vegetable oils that are unsurpassed in color, depth, consistency, essential fatty acids and key nutrients.
Since 1987 we have become the leading supplier of exquisite quality bulk oils known for the full bodied aroma and color, and we have firm procedures in place to ensure you that each oil is screened, analyzed, and sampled by our quality control department.
All of this is done to protect the very qualities that make the line of oils offered by Mountain Rose Herbs some of the finest.
Every vegetable oil we offer is extracted through expeller or cold pressed methods. We do not employ the use of solvent, hexane or alcohol extraction, and we do not stock oils that have been processed through heat intensive hydraulic extraction as these methods produce relatively unhealthy oils that lack in the qualities we require.
A Note about the different qualities of oil
All of the oils we stock have different and varying degrees of quality. And all of them have been processed by distinct and various methods. The information below will help you better understand not only our line of oils, but also the entire industry of oils and their methods of extraction.
Cold Pressed - A method of mechanical extraction where heat is reduced and minimized throughout the batching of the raw material. This helps the oil maintain its original state, constituents, and depth. Temperatures are rigorously controlled to ensure that it does not exceed 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Although not a practical method of extraction for all vegetable oils on the market it is highly regarded as the extraction method of choice.
Expeller Pressed - A method of natural, mechanical extraction and processing of oils where a small amount of heat is produced simply through the frictional heat created by hydraulic presses. This is usually around 120-200 degrees Fahrenheit and makes the oil suitable and economical as a base for cosmetics because of its fairly undisturbed molecular state. It also makes a fine food grade oil.
Refined - A fully processed oil where it has been exposed to all methods of refinement including a flash fluctuation in temperature as high as 450 degrees and winterization as low as -30 degrees, deodorization, which removes the heavy and often unsettling odor in oil, and finally bleaching, where natural clays and other mediums are used to alter or remove an oils color, and scent. This makes for an economical oil in cosmetics and body care products, but it is not the healthiest as a food grade oil.
Partially Refined - A process where only some of the methods available are employed to produce a manufactured oil. Only one or two of the three available methods are used in a partially refined oil. These include, but are not limited to; deodorization, winterization and natural bleaching. These methods are used for oils which have been known historically to go rancid quickly, and they are also used to further stabilize an oil or remove its heavy odor and deep color.
Unrefined - A process of mechanical extraction and screen filtering where no additional refining process has taken place. This ensures the finest quality product and makes the oil the most exquisite for food and cosmetic preparation. The unrefined process helps oil retain a rich, strong flavor and color that is true to its natural state. Unrefined oils are always darker in color and richer in scent.

Rio Pike Line
Product Description
RIO's Pike line has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the modern pike and musky fly fisher. The line features a powerful front taper that has no problem casting large bunny leeches and typical pike patterns, and is slightly heavier than the industry standard to load powerful rods with ease. The line is built with a supple, coldwater coating that features RIO's XS and AgentX technologies for the very best in performance.
About Rio Fly Line Technologies:
Rio's new, ultra-sophisticated line coating redefines floating line performance. Made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula, MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. The secret? The coating's advanced hydrophobic chemistry, which actively pushes water away from the line, resulting in radically improved floatation and reduced dirt adhesion.
It also allows the line to slip more easily from the surface film for longer, quieter pickups. At the same time, MaxCast's coating formulation contains a sophisticated blend of permanent slickening agents, and slickening agents that continuously migrate to the line's exterior for enhanced shooting and durability.
Traditional, single-layer fly lines have to compromise between function and the need for durability and slickness. AgentX Technology makes the old compromise obsolete by bonding two separate coating layers onto one line.
This proprietary process allows RIO line designers to optimize the specific performance of each line. For example, AgentX floating lines can use an inner layer with more buoyant microspheres, while the outer layer is formulated for maximum toughness and shooting ability. AgentX means the best of both worlds in a single fly line.

Sturgeon, Caspian Sea
With a lifespan up to 100 years, Beluga Sturgeon are naturally vulnerable to fishing pressure. Poor management, overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction have contributed to severe population declines of this and other Caspian Sea sturgeon species. The high value of caviar has posed a major obstacle to stemming illegal trade in caviar.
This fish may have high levels of mercury and PCBs that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury and PCBs in sturgeon. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Squid, Market (Ika) (calamari)
Market Squid are short-lived and can withstand intensive fishing pressure at their spawning grounds off the California coast. But they are vulnerable to large-scale changes in the environment driven by El Nino Southern Oscillation events.
Accurate estimates of Market Squid abundance elude fisheries biologists and managers, which makes management of the population difficult at best.

Runway Reviews: Emilio Pucci, Marni, Salvatore Ferragamo
Getty Images View Gallery
(MILAN) Emilio Pucci
There were few "Pucci prints" in Peter Dundas' Fall collection, but no matter--let them have scarves! Dundas' Pucci is governed by strong, sexy ideas about dressing, and instead of trudging through the archives, he just does his thing, to joyous effect. High-waisted second-skin suede pants, awash in fringe? We'll take them. Microscopic backless dresses abounded, fringe flying wildly or unlaced-up the thigh, and the models looked heavenly. Clean-cut jackets showed off Dundas' scissor skills, but the black, semi-sheer lace-up body stocking on Abbey Lee was pretty great, too. Prepare yourselves for the Balmain effect, and pre-order now before it sells out.
Consuelo Castiglioni appeals to a very specific type of dresser, the one who minds neither big, bold prints or big, bold shapes. It requires courage to sport so much volume, but clearly, clients are up to the challenge. (Last year, Marni opened a second New York location just off Madison Avenue.) For Fall, Castiglioni veered a bit seventies, with geometric prints dominating dresses, pants, bermudas, and skirts. There were a few more fluid pieces, such as a jersey V-necks and swingy skirts. A few tunics and and bermuda-length shorts in a palette of blush, marigold, and burnt siena offered a nod to Marni's style of basics. And on the accessory front, there were some great single-strap bags and pointed-toe platforms that will keep devotees nice and satisfied.
Salvatore Ferragamo
Massimiliano Giornetti's first women's collection for Ferragamo focused on easy, rich-looking clothes in luxurious fabrics like cashmere, silk, lame, and wool. The palette of chocolate, chestnut, burnt siena, gold, and camel felt appropriately luxe. The focus was clearly on suiting, with shorts making repeat appearances. Luckily for the Ferragamo customer, these are pleated and decently mid-thigh length, although the Ferragamo customer may need to get a bit brave. (This is, after all, Fall/Winter). But things were much more covered up on top, with tie-necked blouses and nipped jackets appearing in most looks. Fitted, cable-knit turtleneck sweaters were so finely rendered that stores best order generously--and Loro Piana ought to be concerned. Ultimately, the woman who wanted the shoes is now going to desire that olive drab cape with the marigold lining just as much. Or maybe the camel suede pants. Or the tunic embroidered with metallic discs. Or the chocolate jersey halter gown, sexily worn with outerwear. Clearly, Giornetti is the man for the job, and it will be exciting to watch him spread his wings in upcoming seasons.

Regular Glucose Monitoring Increases Medication Adherence and Reduces A1cPosted: Sunday, October 28, 2012
The preliminary study findings were based on a retrospective analysis of health insurance data and was led by Lifescan's Naunihal Virdi. The results are based on an analysis of 4.5 years of data gathered from 5,172 patients with type 2 diabetes who were newly treated with noninsulin diabetes medication. Patients who tested their blood glucose showed a greater overall decrease in A1C than those not testing (-1.4 vs. -0.6 A1C percentage points respectively). Overall, higher blood glucose testing frequency was associated with greater decreases in A1C levels. Patients who tested at least once per day had the greatest reductions in A1C levels compared with patients who tested less frequently, or not at all.
This study also found that patients who tested their blood glucose were more likely to take their diabetes medication as prescribed than patients who didn't test (49.9% vs. 38.2%, respectively). Again, testing frequency was a factor, with 64.1% of patients who tested at least once a day being adherent to their medications compared to less than 50% of those testing less frequently.
"Good glycemic control is key to reducing complications in patients with diabetes," Virdi said. "For type 2 patients who don't take insulin, this study adds to the growing body of evidence that regular self-monitoring of blood sugar may contribute to improved diabetes control, as well as improved compliance in taking medications as prescribed."
The study findings were based on a retrospective analysis of health insurance data and are considered by the authors as preliminary to other studies that may confirm these findings via a prospective clinical trial.

In response to then-candidate Mitt Romney's comment during a debate that more attention needs to be focused on adequately funding U.S. defense, President Barack Obama drew liberal cheers for his sarcastic lecture.
"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916," Obama began, adding, "we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed."
"There are these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them," Obama continued in an attempt to make it seem as if Romney doesn't understand the modern military.
Well, yes, there are aircraft carriers - but apparently not enough of them, as Romney hinted.
On Wednesday, the Navy said it will have to lessen its carrier presence in the Persian Gulf to one this winter, because the USS Nimitz, one of two carriers normally stationed there, needs repairs. Apparently the Navy doesn't have enough carriers to keep two in one of the most critical places in the world, in terms of U.S. interests.
Yes, the role of the U.S. military has changed. It's a shame Obama doesn't see the armed forces as more than a political punch line.

Archiv Produktion
In April 2013, at a special event at the Villa Elisabeth in Berlin, leading classical record label Deutsche Grammophon reaffirmed its commitment to early music by revealing new plans and signings for its specialist label, Archiv Produktion.
Staged to celebrate 66 years since the foundation of the historic Archiv label, over 200 guests from the classical artist community, and the worlds of media, retail and digital, alongside former label producers and researchers, enjoyed stunning performances from British-Austrian soprano Anna Prohaska, Italian violinist Giuliano Carmignola and Vittorio Ghielmi, the Italian conductor/composer and distinguished Viola da Gamba player. Both Anna Prohaska and Giuliano Carmignola have recently released new albums on the Archiv label.
Enjoying sales of over 70 million albums since its founding in 1947, the "Silver Label", as it is known, has been the home of some of the great pioneers of the early music and authentic performance movements of the last six decades. From artists such as Helmut Walcha – whose recordings of Bach organ works were among the label's first releases, in 1948 – through names such as Karl Richter, Reinhard Goebel, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Magdalena Ko˛enį, Andrea Marcon, Anne Sofie von Otter, Trevor Pinnock, Alan Curtis, Simone Kermes, Paul McCreesh and Marc Minkowski – the label has always prided itself on its unique combination of artistic excellence and repertoire development and discovery, which from the beginning has been supported by the highest level of scholarly yet accessible information and presentation.
Hosting the evening, Deutsche Grammophon's Mark Wilkinson announced a series of new products and initiatives, including the new deluxe Archiv Produktion boxed set – a 55-CD set featuring award-winning albums from the last 66 years – and extensive reissues of choral and Christmas repertoire for the autumn, as well as a special album celebrating 50 years of The Monteverdi Choir for 2014. In addition, he welcomed Pablo Heras-Casado to the label as one of a new generation of "Archiv Ambassadors", with the dynamic Spanish conductor leading a unique Farinelli project, as well as recording a Gluck opera for the label in 2014 – a first recording of Orfeo ed Euridice for Archiv in the original Italian version. New albums celebrating future Monteverdi and Shakespeare anniversaries were also announced, along with a Handel opera project from René Jacobs, and a rejuvenated presence for the label in the digital and social network space.
"As classical music encounters all of the opportunities of the digital era, we want to ensure that Archiv grows from strength to strength as a vibrant, relevant and distinct label of excellence," Mark Wilkinson said. "Early music is the perfect place to discover the unusual, the daring, and very often the exotic, and we look forward to working with all of our artists to spread the true 'spirit of Archiv' in the future."

What Ilyumzhinov should have asked
We received a few complaints at ChessVibes headquarters for reporting in a biased way about the upcoming FIDE presidential elections. We were accused of favouring Anatoly Karpov and ridiculing Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. A news item that appeared yesterday on the BCC website shows we should have taken our current president more seriously indeed.
Okay, we admit it: we went too far. While shamelessly promoting Karpov's campaign, we entirely neglected to report on Karpov's own dubious role during the 1984/1985 World Championship match and his recent curious statement about FIDE knock-out tournaments, in which Karpov said he was never a supporter of this particular formula, while profiting from it himself to beat Anand back in 1998.
What's worse, although we didn't write about Ilyumzhinov's friendship with the late dictator Saddam Hussein and about his remarkable encounter with aliens as reported in various interviews (among others on Dutch television), we did have a good laugh at Mig Greengard's suggestion that "we'd do well to go for just about anyone with a pulse and no personal stories of alien abduction at this point." We secretly cracked jokes about Stephen Hawking's warning that any contact with extraterrestial aliens might result in total collapse for mankind - and how Ilyumzhinov managed to avoid this - even though Hawking's statement was received critically in the scientific world.
We were wrong, so wrong. We should have given our President - and he is our President, let's not forget - more credit, just like the Russian parliament. According to the BBC, "a Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate claims by a regional president that he has met aliens on board a spaceship."
MP Andre Lebedev is not just asking whether Mr Ilyumzhinov is fit to govern. He is also concerned that, if he was abducted, he may have revealed details about his job and state secrets.
The MP has written a letter to Mr Medvedev raising a list of his concerns. In his letter he says that - assuming the whole thing was not just a bad joke - it was an historic event and should have been reported to the Kremlin.
He also asks if there are official guidelines for what government officials should do if contacted by aliens, especially if those officials have access to state secrets.
The Moscow Times has more details:
Ilyumzhinov told television host Vladimir Pozner on Channel One on April 26 that he had spent several hours in the company of aliens after they visited his apartment in downtown Moscow on Sept. 18, 1997.
He said he was falling asleep when he heard someone calling him from the balcony. When he went there, Ilyumzhinov said, he saw a "semi-transparent half tube" that he entered to meet human-like creatures in yellow spacesuits.
"I am often asked which language I used to talk to them. Perhaps, it was on a level of the exchange of the ideas," Ilyumzhinov said, speaking solemnly.
He said the aliens gave him a tour of their spaceship. When he asked them why they had not gone on television to reveal themselves to humans, they replied that they are not yet ready, Ilyumzhinov said.
He said the aliens returned him to his home in the morning — just as his driver and two associates were about to initiate a citywide search for him after not finding him in the locked apartment.
We stand corrected. Such a uniquely detailed account and its follow-up in the Russian Duma proves there's more to this than just a good laugh. It's all very serious, which is also indicated by the fact Ilyumzhinov states all this again just after having been nominated by the Russian Chess Federation as the candidate for the elections in Khanty Mansiysk: in other words, the story is a conscious part of his campaign to win votes in September and to attract positive media attention to promote chess. Apparently, the President didn't trust Vishy Anand and Veselin Topalov to do it the way only he can.
We think deputy Lebedev raises important questions, but in our opinion he doesn't go quite far enough. The real question, of course, is why Ilyumzhinov, when he was shown this super-advanced alien technology, didn't ask the yellow men which is the best opening move, 1.e4 or 1.d4? Which variation is better: the Najdorf or the Sveshnikov? Why did Ilyumzhinov just 'exchange ideas' instead of asking what is the ultimate result of chess as we know it - a draw, or perhaps a win for Black? And who really was the best player of all time? Not only the Russian parliament but the entire chess community of planet earth eagerly awaits these answers!
Surely Mr. President, as head of all chess lovers in the world, a bit more chess curiosity wouldn't have been too much to ask for?

@Peter Doggers,
No definition of "whacky journalism" yet :) Certainly not just any column. What I had in mind was merciless targeting of some person, digging up every possible and impossible bit that could cast some shadow on him. Usually done to enlarge..., sorry, to bring a feel of satisfaction to the journalist, but I actually think that Ilyumzhinov deserves such treatment. And this article here is funny, too.
3 years 11 months ago
Why is it that only chess seems not to be able to rid itself of a comical and idiotic figure like Ilyumzhinov and his clan?
Any other semi-big sport federation seems to have the defensive mechanisms to correct these things and cleanse itself. Hell, if they were able to -as it appears- get rid of corrupt figures within the IOC, why is Fide structured in a way that a corrupt individual can do as he pleases for as long he pleases?
It seems chessplayers are just not aggressive and combative enough OFF the board and just like to stick to researching variations of the Sveshnikov and the Nimzo-Indian. If a group of top-GM´s united, you´d say they should be able to unsettle the King of Kalmukkia. As the saying goes, palaces are only emptied of their royals during wars and revolutions. It is time for either of those.
The fact that Ilyumzhinov is the chief representative of worldwide chess is a huge embarrassment to the sport. Period.

As representative of the aliens that abducted Mr. Ilyumzhinov, I like to state in his defense that in fact he was quite curious who we thought was the best chess player in history. In our opinion there is no doubt this was GM Anatoly Karpov, a man who not only promoted chess by his enduring focus on playing the game on the highest level for a long period in his life. He also showed the unification power of chess when he visited his life long rival GM Gary Kasparov in a Russian jail. GM Anatoly Karpov hereby showed the world both the beauty of the divine game and his ability to look beyond the board.
So please, you might accuse Mr. Ilyumzhinov of being a lousy chess player, but do not accuse him of a lack of interest in chess history.
Regards, Mr. Spock
beam me up Scotty
This is just hilarious, even though I am usually against whacky journalism. Although many national leaders casually ask for guidance from mystical beings, perhaps the leader of world chess should exhibit greater intelligence.

@jussu Do columns fall under your definition of 'whacky journalism'?
Very little reason for anyone to be incensed by this column. It deals with something very serious - the leader of a Russian republic, and the president of FIDE, states unequivocally that he has been abducted by aliens, describes the abduction in detail and clearly is very influenced by this experience.
It is now the subject of an officialy investigation by the Duma.
However, this is also the preparations for Putin dumping Ilyumzhinov as president of Kalmykia, the time for reappointment is not that far in the future. Which is good, Kirsan can then focus on FIDE.
On another note, David Kaplan has plans to turn chess into an online commodity, which I guess is good for him.
As you will see when you visit FIDE's pages, there is something called CNC.
Kaplan's plan (funny) is to institute that chess moves are the property of FIDE, and that they will be sold by FIDE as a source of income.
"On information
We also plan to pass all the rights on chess information to Chess News Corporation (CNC) – a company created with FIDE's support. The reason is simple; free data broadcasting, which is not always precise and correct, will never help the development of interest towards chess and its commercial success."
How do chess players feel about that?
3 years 11 months ago
Hahaha, he saw an alien "semitransparent half-tube"!!
Surely he was looking into the mirror! :) :).
What a guy!
This plan of Kaplan/FIDE obviously is aimed at making money only, it has little to do with increasing the interest in chess. And taking away the property rights of chessplayers for their moves obviously borders on theft, which of course is a cheap way of earning more. FIDE always makes the seemingly impossible possible: to reach new lows.

Actually for a crazy crackhead Kirsan ain't so bad.At least we now get to know that the aliens have no guts to show themselves on prime time TV. But it's hard to blame them with their yellow suits and all...We better watch out the next time there is an 80's rage...
A wonderful article. A few questions.
1) Why yellow men? Why not green? Or purple? Or better yet! Green with purple poka dots!
2) Why can't a website endorse its own candidate? Re: why should someone complain if you have thrown in your bid with Karpov (smart choice btw!)?
My compliments though on a wonderful piece. Well written and very humorous.

I don't see the difference: believe in aliens or believe in a God. Ilyumzhinov believes in aliens and Obama and many, many others believe in....what they believe in

I won't say that it is your best by far, but I can probably say that it is your funniest by far. I read that article on BBC as well, and, well, I have to say that this article is really on the spot. Now, Duma is questioning the incumbent's ability to govern, well, quite rightly so, and I don't know why you cannot pose the same question, albeit with a tinge of delightful sarcasm. I won't rule out entirely of the possibility of encountering 'aliens', yet FIDE president's testimony is indeed very odd. It looks like he has to provide his proofs he claims to have in his disposal in order to persuade us to take him seriously, as a president of either organization he has been responsible till this day.
3 years 11 months ago
I read 2 websites everyday.
chessbase: Ilyumzhinov
chessvibes: Karpov
it is just my direct sense from my reading.
From my point, it is wonderful no matter who is the president(these 2 guys, except dani).
But I fell more associations support Ilyumzhinov than Karpov. I noticed Karpov has invite XieJun(former women champion, china) as his partner and if win, will be VP. Chinese hasn't replyed now. if Karpov can take the contries associations one by one. he has chance to win. But Ilyumzhinov has solid support from many associations.
It is a really hard work for both sides

Frustrating might be for Kirsan, that he really saw the creatures, but nobody believes him! Typical of any SF or Horror movie. In the end the non-believers will be the first to be body snatched or worse...
It's indeed easy to figure out Ben. Personally I prefer Peter's quality journalism to these articles. But I really can't see how anyone can take offense here, though I do hope for something deeper next time. This piece was in my opinion way too easy to be funny, and did not really inspire the mind.
3 years 11 months ago
He's been in contact with aliens!? LOL Wow, this is beyond funny its just plain messed up lol
I agree with the critizisms.
As long as chess jounalists (as on this site) will be openly biased (in cases like Ilyumzhinov vs Karpov, or Topalov/Danailov vs the world), chess journalism will never mature. Journalism should be as neutral as possible in my opinion, no matter how ridiculous the discussion. Facts are for journalists, opinions for readers...
Hortensius, I don't understand your comment at all. Are you seriously saying a site shouldn't offer both objective news items and opinion pieces such as columns, cartoons, etc? Then what is your opinion on, for instance, the New York Times? Is it also an example 'immature journalism'?
Cartoons and columns are fine, in my opinion, as long as they are not used to represent the 'opinion' of the journalistic medium (Chessvibes in this particular case). You could use columns and cartoons in order to highlight different viewpoints.
I'm not saying Chessvibes should stop taking sides! Only if Chessvibes aspires to be top notch journalism. Otherwise it would still be a great blog!!
3 years 11 months ago
Some pieces are obviously editorials and not to be treated as objectively as others. It doesn't take a big brain to figure out which is which. The editors are obviously entitled to publish their opinions on their site. If you don't like it, write a rebuttal on your site, or just stick to the purely objective pieces.
Roo Bookaroo
3 years 11 months ago
Let's all forget about Hortensius' ideas that he/she alone is entitled to have opinions on things and people.
Any chess site without opinions, judgments and a good sense of humor would be a bore, just like Hortensius. Who wants to read Hortensius' stuff?
Noone. Imagine a world filled with Hortensiuses, Ilyumzhinovs, and Danailovs?
We would welcome the visit of this spaceship and board it immediately, leaving those characters behind to have fun among themselves. Kasparov would have joined us on that spaceship and set up a new chess organization for the aliens and us, their guests.
Arne Moll is a boon to the site. Keep up the good fight of getting a good laugh at the nonsensical state of established chess and its petty squabbles.
Thanks Roo! ;) Long live Hortensiusanism!
However, let there be no misunderstanding here; I love Chessvibes and it's articles. No question! But as a reader it is impossible to form an independent opinion (about FIDE president candidates for instance) based on the articles on this site! However juicy or funny they are!
My two questions were serious btw.... can I get an answer?
Ali Nihat Yizici: "As I told you [Karpov] personally in Rijeka, at breakfast, we all respect you as a World Champion, as chess lovers. I wish you very good luck (you need a lot..., and it does not work in this business) for the upcoming FIDE elections.
I have read your letter, and saw that again either you do not read all these releases in the chess media (very bad for a candidate) or your words do not represent what is the truth."
I stopped reading right there. Jezus christ, what a douchebag.
3 years 11 months ago
I think that ChessVibes don´t lie to their readers. They give facts and opinions, the main thing is they don´t try to dress opinions as facts. If you have different opinion from theirs you are free to comment, and if you don´t like their journalism you are free not to visit this site :)
FFS: Ilyumzhinov repeated in a TV interview that he has contact with aliens. Those are the FACTS as reported.
Deal with it.

1. It seems he has a big balcony!
2. You cannot go to a star! Only to a planet, a star is an extrremly hot gas.
3. Mankind is not ready for aliens, but seems like HE was ready, and aliens knew it too. I wonder what made him ready for that. The big balcony or he has a higher intelligence?
He should have asked about the technology that made him available to make a roundtrip in a couple hours to another star and back in a way that he probably did not feel too much acceleration.
3 years 11 months ago
Envy is a bad thing, Arne!
You'd kill to have Ilyumzhinov's 1st degree experiences (and I dream with his money).
THAT is the true motto for this article! You want "semitransparent half-tubes" in your balcony! :-)
Anyway, people: Haven't I already presented you the ONLY candidate to save our chess world?
Spassky for president!!!
I guess that if Cameron in Britain had declared he'd been visited by aliens, and had traveled with them to another star on their ship, and had conducted discussions with them, the press shouldn't be writing about it - is that what you're saying, Hortensius?
Don't expect other readers to be dumber than yourself, that's not a given. Most readers manage to sort out the straight reporting from the site's quite engaging points-of-view.
3 years 11 months ago
Great stuff, Chessvibes.
It's time some serious website/editors take on the FIDE bullshit and call it what it is. When I saw Yazici's recent letter on Chessbase...man...isn't that pathetic? A hysterical cry from a man suffering from megalomania. Of course he would support FIDE. He is part of it. Turkey has great benefits out of that relationship. That doesn't mean TCF is a "great" or important federation nor that Yazici is a "great" or important man. His arguments are childish and silly-looking. He just looks like the typical Party-subordinate acting based on personal benefit, dogma and under-the-table deals he knows very well are profitable for the FIDE inner circle and he would very much like to see them progressing further in the next years. At least until, Kirsan gets kidnapped again, the aliens impregnate him with some special seed and he's able to giev birth to Kirsan No 2 or Kirsan Jr: the next FIDE president.
3 years 11 months ago
To all those blasting chessvibes for this article: Not only are they allowed to poke fun at the President of FIDE and to use satire to mock him, that's actually a very healthy thing. Otherwise, we may as well all familiarize ourselves with life in North Korean "education" camps where no one talks back.
Besides: I'm sure all of us have been visited by aliens. My own encounter with them included a 7-dimensional chess game that went back and forward in time, space, and other dimensions too complicated to elaborate on here...

As far as the photo... I want Predator to win!
@John Paul Rutherfield: believing is one thing, but seeing is another. I think most religious people don't claim to have seen God, let alone talked to him or went up to his spaceship or whatever.
By the way, I myself believe in aliens in that I think extraterrestial life forms are extremely likely in our universe. But even if I had some sort of experience and they would come and get me, I would realize that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".
Hi Arne,
this - apart of course from your report of the match Waagtoren - Euwe, dutch cup 2004(5?) - is by far your best column... (although it is of course easy to shoot at an empty goal).
I would like to pose the question once again, if any of the top players have had any moral doubts concerning the price-money that was so generously provided by Ilyumzhinov - before they took it en masse, of course. It just doesn't make much sense that someone is so rich in a country that is so poor & then spends his money on chess of all things.
(Of course chess is better than tanks to be sure...)

Forecasters are saying it's more likely that Sandy will bring rain and wind to the Boston area late Sunday and through Monday, but how much is still the question.
The Lions' Halloween Parade is schedule to go on "rain or shine," so it is likely that the storm will have no affect on the parade.
Reclassified as a hurricane on Wednesday and bearing down on Jamaica, Hurricane Sandy may still head off to sea before hitting the east coast. But forecasters say it's looking more likely that New England will feel at least part of the brunt of Sandy.
Channel 5's Harvey Leonard said to expect beach erosion, coastal flooding and wind damage. NECN's Matt Noyes said he is confident that there will be rain and wind likely Sunday night through Monday. He said there is high probability of more than one inch of rain and moderate probability of more than two inches of rain.
CBS Boston's Terry Eliasen, meterogolist and executive weather producer, said Sandy will be a "strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane" by Sunday.
According to Eliasen:
While most models still do not show a direct hit, more and more are agreeing that Sandy will have no escape route in the Northern Atlantic. Another large storm will block the road for Sandy, stopping it from just flying by New England out to sea. This may cause Sandy to retrograde, or back up toward our coastline. It could just be a small piece or the entire storm in some fashion moving backward (from East to West). This could come in the form of a strong band of rain and wind lasting for several hours or something much more significant.
Though there is a greater chance that Sandy will at least affect our weather next week, meteorologists said there are too many variables to predict accurately this far out.

Ski–In to the 2010/11 winter season
This winter it's time to head south! The Italian side of this international ski region is showcasing itself as more exciting than ever. And on the Swiss side, two restaurants offer guests an enormous increase in quality. Let's go exploring!
News from our neighbours: Cervinia has been upgraded
Two new pistes and Slow Ski
Two new black runs will attract snow-sport fans to Cervinia, where the towering south face of the Matterhorn looks directly down on skiers and snowboarders. On the first run, experienced skiers and boarders can test their technical skills on the first "Vertical Ski Passage". The second run is the former piste No. 24, a little less loaded with adrenalin - but only just. This season the run has been totally, re-routed, lengthened and widened.
And what's more, a new interpretation of ski sport is evolving beneath the Matterhorn: Slow Ski. This means taking your time, breathing nice and easy to the slow rhythm of time, switching off and marvelling at this unique panorama. Slow Ski is skiing with soul, relaxing and revitalizing.
Acrobatic Village – acrobatics for skiers and snowboarders
In Plan Maison, almost a kilometre-long section is dedicated to border cross and ski cross: both of these relatively new disciplines have found their ideal terrain in Breuil-Cervinia. In fact so ideal that the Italian national team for border and ski cross has chosen the Acrobatic Village as its training location!
New playground at Plan Maison
This season, Plan Maison, where lifts and pistes meet in the shape of a star, has a new playground with a magic carpet (children's lift), on which younger visitors can get their ski and snowboarding legs in a fun way. A special area has been created for beginners, with the added advantage that Plan Maison's many sunny terraces, bars and restaurants are within easy reach.
Panorama windows facing the Breithorn
A panorama window is being built at the Matterhorn glacier paradise, awarding impressive views of the glacier and the Breithorn.
Discover the icy, mystic realms of the world's highest-situated glacier palace
You arrive at the glacier palace directly via two elevators from Matterhorn glacier paradise station. You then walk through an ice tunnel that leads you directly into the palace, some fifteen metres beneath the glacier surface. If you are bold and adventuresome, you can walk back through a glacier crevice afterwards. Subtle lighting and ethereal sounds amplify the special mood within this small wonder of the glacier world. Information on glaciology and the creation of the glacier palace and an impressive array of ice sculptures add to the special experience. The new slide through the ice gives your trip into the ice a touch of adventure. The newly designed event room, about 40 m2 large, is ideal for weddings, stand-up receptions, or short presentations. Use is free of charge.
VIP gondola
In the VIP gondola you glide in the Matterhorn Express towards the Matterhorn, sitting in a comfortable chair sipping a glass of champagne. This is a trip you will never forget: you'll be escorted to the VIP gondola at the bottom station, enjoy the trip to the accompaniment of music and completely relaxed, devote yourself to new adventure on Trockener Steg.
Calling all families: First Zipfy Bob event on Gornergrat
On to the bob, ready, steady, go! The first Zipfy Bob event will be held on the Gornergrat near Zermatt on 4 March 2011. Participants will battle it out in classic boardercross style on the sledge run from Rotenboden to Riffelberg. It is also planned to include a Swiss celebrity category. The Zipfy Bob is a sporty plastic sledge with an ergonomic shape, easy and accurate to steer using the joystick at the front. The low centre of gravity, light weight of 1.8 kg and grooves on the underside prevent the bob from tipping over. The Zipfy Bob event guarantees fun and excitement for all ages.
Expansion of catering attractions in the Zermatt ski area
Total renovation of Restaurant Blauherd – from self-service restaurant to bar-lounge
The harsh high-Alpine environment has had a severe effect on the concrete buildings constructed on Blauherd in the 1970s and so the responsible persons at the Citizens' Council and Matterhorn Group have decided to carry out renovations and new concepts in line with current and future requirements. The planning team has set itself the task of realizing an efficient bar-lounge concept in a relaxed and modern ambiance: the bottom floor will be closed, the terrace area on the ground floor greatly enlarged and the covered area accordingly reduced in size. This will allow a more efficient operation on Blauherd. After the renovation, bar and lounge seating will be available for approximately 60 guests inside and around 200 outside. Catering offers will be reduced to a small but select choice of dishes. Investment costs of CHF 2.5 million will be financed from own resources. The restaurant is scheduled to reopen at the beginning of December 2010.
Conversion and capacity increase at Restaurant Sunnegga
The region's largest mountain restaurant, with table service catering for up to 1200 meals per day, is being converted for the coming winter. Huge high-season demand has led to lengthy waiting times and far exceeded service capacity. This is to be remedied by converting the table-service restaurant into a self-service buffet with a modern and proven concept. This will reduce waiting times and create a marked increase in capacity.
The investment costs of maximum CHF 2 million are almost exclusively for modifications in the kitchen area. The entire investment will be financed by the Citizens' Council of Zermatt from own resources. After the conversion, the restaurant will continue to cater for ski schools and also remain available for events. Reopening is planned for December 2010.
For the perfect excursion: RailAway offer "Gornergrat excursion mountain"
It's quite clear to anyone wanting to get to know the Alpine world at its beautiful best: a visit to the Gornergrat is an absolute must. This winter, visitors can again benefit from the attractive "Gornergrat Excursion Mountain" RailAway offer with a 20% reduction from 27.11.2010 - 30.04.2011. The offer includes rail travel from any Swiss railway station to Zermatt and back, the Zermatt-Gornergrat-Zermatt mountain railway excursion, sledge hire and use of the run from Rotenboden to Riffelberg. Children with a Junior Card travel free when accompanied by a parent. General Pass (GA) holders pay only CHF 31.20 from the departure railway station (offer not available from Zermatt, Täsch and Randa railway stations). More information
Pure skiing pleasure: RailAway offer "Matterhorn ski paradise"
From Zermatt railway station, guests reach the heart of the ski region with ease and in comfort with the Gornergrat Bahn, Europe's highest-altitude tunnel-free rack railway. The "Matterhorn ski paradise" RailAway offer makes skiing here a particularly attractively priced experience: snows-port fans benefit from a 20% reduction for return travel from any Swiss railway station to Zermatt and there are also price reductions on the 1 & 2-day ski passes. The offer is available at all Swiss railway stations.

Holiday Travelers Wonder - How Accurate are Airport Luggage Scales?
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) provides information about the accuracy of airport luggage scales. With so many people traveling via air this holiday season and airlines charging for heavy bags, the accuracy of airport luggage scales is important. Here is information from DATCP about airport luggage scales:
Airline passengers pay to check their luggage, and the cost goes up substantially if the bags are overweight. This holiday travel season, Wisconsin travelers can be confident that the state's airline baggage scales measure up.
Wisconsin weights and measures inspectors and city sealers inspected each of the 60 luggage scales in the state's commercial airports and found an accuracy rate of 98.3 percent. All scales that were not working properly have been repaired.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen Announces Major Antitrust Settlement

Process Used By Justice Department to Block South Carolina Voter ID Does Not Apply to Wisconsin
Last week, the US Justice Department blocked implementation of South Carolina's voter ID law. The claim that photo ID laws disenfranchise voters has been made before and is not entirely surprising. However, the department's attack is fairly unique in that it utilizes Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. The provision requires certain states to obtain preclearance from the US Attorney General or the US District Court for the District of Colombia for any modification to voting rules.
Importantly, this could not happen to Wisconsin's voter ID law. Unlike South Carolina, Wisconsin is not a covered jurisdiction receiving Section 5 federal scrutiny. Therefore, our election laws do not have to be pre-cleared by the Justice Department.
Free Rides Program for New Years Eve
It is hard to believe 2012 is just around the corner. While everyone rings in the New Year in their own way, people should be hyper vigilant about driving.

For the past 24 years the Free Rides programs provided rides New Year's Eve at Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties.
This year the program will be offered Saturday, December 31, 2011, in partnership with Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS), Waukesha Metro Transit, Beer Capitol Distributing, Frank Beer Distributing and numerous community partners. Program times and routes vary by city.

Governors Place Bet On Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl trophy is not the only thing up for grabs during Sunday's game between the University of Wisconsin and the University of Oregon. Governor Scott Walker and Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber placed a friendly wager on the outcome of the game.
If the Badgers win, Governor Kitzhaber owes Governor Walker a gift package of Oregon craft beer, Kettle Chips, Oregon Hazelnuts, and smoked king salmon. If Oregon wins, Governor Walker owes Governor Kitzhaber some Leinenkugels, cheese, Andes mints, and a bottle of Blushing Rose Wine from Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac.
Have A Safe And Happy New Years!
Stay safe tonight ringing in the New Year. Milwaukee County Transit and Waukesha Metro Transit are providing free rides tonight. If you plan on having a few drinks, play it safe and take the bus instead of getting behind the wheel.
