Aronian wins 20th and last Amber
Levon Aronian won the 20th and last Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament. In the blindfold session of the last round, he drew against Sergey Karjakin while his main rival Magnus Carlsen lost to Boris Gelfand. This decided everything: Aronian also became the winner of the Blindfold tournament and Carlsen finished first in the Rapid.

Aronian claims third Amber victory in farewell edition
Round 11 report courtesy of the official website
Levon Aronian is the winner of the twentieth and final Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament. Following his earlier wins in 2008 and 2009 this is the third time the Armenian grandmaster claimed first prize. Aronian also won the blindfold competition. The rapid competition was won by Magnus Carlsen. The € 1,000 Game of the Day Prize was awarded to Boris Gelfand for his rapid win over Magnus Carlsen, which ended the Norwegian's chances to fight for first place in the overall standings.
The blindfold game between Vasily Ivanchuk and Veselin Topalov was a long up-and-down affair. In the opening Ivanchuk was at his creative best and outplayed his opponent to reach a winning position. But in the next phase he just as easily squandered his advantage and even ended up in a worse position. Now he had to suffer and it was only after a 97 moves that the suffering was over and he had saved the draw.
Topalov won the rapid game. Ivanchuk needed too much attention to defend his advanced pawn on c4, which gave the Bulgarian the opportunity to organize a kingside attack. When Ivanchuk allowed 39.Nxh5+ the game was soon over.
With 140 moves, the blindfold game between Vugar Gashimov and Alexander Grischuk was easily the longest of the entire tournament. It was a see-saw battle in which first Grischuk had the better chances and then Gashimov. For instance, the Azeri grandmaster could have decided the game easily with 47.Rf3. The game remained a comedy of errors and ultimately went into an endgame of rook and knight (Grischuk) versus rook on move 90. Grischuk tried for 50 moves and then the 50-moves rule finally out an end to the game.
In the blindfold game they tried to break the record of the longest game and were well on their way, when the tournament director, having consulted with the chief arbiter, stepped in. Because the evening program was seriously threatened he asked the players to continue in a separate room, so that the final session of the rapid competition could start as soon as possible in the playing room. Once Grischuk and Gashimov had moved there they made 10 more moves and after 139 moves the game was drawn
Anish Giri repeated an opening in his blindfold game against Vishy Anand that his second Loek van Wely had played against the same Anand in the 2006 Amber tournament! White deviated with 10.cxd4, where Van Wely had gone 10.Qxd4, and introduced his new idea one move later, 11.Kf1. An interesting battle developed in which White had space, but an awkward king (could he put it on h1, he would be fine) and Black wanted to develop counterplay on the queenside with …Rb8, …b5 etc. as soon as possible. Giri went astray with 20.Qc4 after which both players agreed he was essentially lost. White's position quickly fell apart and after 27 moves, about to lose a rook, Giri resigned.
Anand also won the rapid game. The line he played against the Petroff he didn't think to be very impressive, 'but you have to play something'. Giri's 17…b6 was clear mistake (the correct move was 17…Rc8) for exactly what happened in the game. White won the pawn on b6 and when Black missed his last chance to get substantial counterplay with 23…Rc8 (he exchanged rooks on a7) the young Dutchman was fighting a hopeless battle.
The blindfold game between Hikaru Nakamura and Vladimir Kramnik ended in a convincing win for the Russian former world champion. Nakamura's opening was 'not great' in Kramnik's words and White's 7.h4 and 9.g4 were rather weakening than strengthening his position. The American drifted into an unpleasant ending that gradually got worse and worse. The decisive mistake was 26.Ne3 which allowed Black to strike with a simple but effective tactic. The win finally lifted Kramnik from the hated last place.
Thanks to a win in the rapid game Nakamura could end the tournament on a positive note. In a King's Indian he managed to stage a devastating onslaught on the white king and cashed the point after 45 moves.
With a draw in his blindfold game against Sergey Karjakin, tournament leader Levon Aronian decided the fight for first place in his favour, as his last remaining rival, Magnus Carlsen lost his blindfold game to Boris Gelfand. After the opening Aronian was optimistic: 'I thought it was all in my hands. I didn't need Boris.' After 26.Nc4 he felt he was close to winning, but he didn't find the correct follow-up. In the endgame his advantage vanished, but soon he found out that the draw he reached was enough to clinch tournament victory.
Aronian felt that he also had had good winning chances in the rapid game, but again he had to settle for a draw. Obviously, he didn't care too much, as tournament victory was already his.
Magnus Carlsen knew he had to win his blindfold game against Boris Gelfand to keep the pressure on Levon Aronian. Right from the first moves he made no secret of his intentions. White's 8.Ncb5 was a speculative attempt, involving lots of tactics, but as the game developed it became clear that they worked for Black. After 14…Re4! Gelfand was already better and his advantage became decisive when Carlsen missed 22.Qd3 when it would still have been a game. The last fifteen moves or so the Norwegian would normally have spared himself, but given the tournament situation it was understandable that he drained the cup to the bottom.
In the rapid game Carlsen went for a Benkö Gambit. Gelfand surprised him with 11.f4, which the Norwegian had not seen before, but nevertheless Black got a fine game. Carlsen believed that White should not have sacrificed the exchange with 20.Rxe7 and instead should have played 20…Rad1. Now Black got great play and Carlsen felt that once he had this advantage there was little his opponent could have done to avoid his loss. With this win Carlsen increased his rapid score to 9½ from 11, the highest in Amber history.

chess is a competitive sport powered by technical knowledge and natural intuitive talent, but the end product is also a pure form of human produced art , so it is really stupid to argue endlessly who is the best player of all time, to me currently there are about 10 players who all deserve to be amongst the best, they all have their own distinctive flavour and hallmark.

Please google and check how Vishy Anand dominated the top players of the world in rapid chess (the sheer dominance, mastery, brilliance, and creativity) at his peak, especially his games in 2004.
It was unbelievable worthy of the greatest rapid chess player of all time. It was also the time he won the World Rapid Chess Championship with Kasparov and Kramnik participating.
His demolition of very worth opponents in the Rapids in 2004 was unbelievable. Let us not take credit from the rightful greatest from the happenings in the latest.

there is no room for subjectivity when objective methods to judge the best player are their.
when it comes to classical chess objectively speaking anand is best.
he is the world no 1 and and the undisputed chess champ.
So far as carlsen is concerned he chickened out , so we will never know his prowess in match play.
Aronian is awsome , let us see if he can kick some ass in candidates.....

How is the prize money divided up in the amber 2011 tournament? What do the players get? I know the general prize fund.

Aronian is King, says ICC, and they see a fun rivarly coming:
In the land of the blind at the Amber tournament in Monaco, one man is king: Levon Aronian! His total mastery of the blindfold tournament (undefeated on 8.5/11 - the first player in the history of the tournament to be undefeated blindfold!) proved to play a major contribution in the world No.3 taking clear first place in the overall standings on 15.5/22, a full point clear of Magnus Carlsen, with World champion Vishy Anand trailing in third place.
Although Carlsen scored badly this year in the blindfold, he more than made up for it in the rapid tournament by dominating it in much the same way as his rival did in the blindfold, as the young Norwegian superstar took that title with a record winning score of 9.5/11. And with the final results being as it was with Aronian and Carlsen (and Anand third), it is perhaps no co-incidence that they are both talked up frequently now as being the best world championship challengers from a growing newer generation in the game - and possible world championship rivals themselves in the future!

"the first player in the history of the tournament to be undefeated blindfold! [Aronian]"
"a record winning score of 9.5/11 [Carlsen in the rapid]"
What's your source?? It isn't ebutaljib's "Amber tour" ( http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?pid=233774#pid233774 ), it isn't even the 2011 tournament table in this very Chessvibes report:
- At least three other players were undefeated in blindfold: Morozevich in 2006 setting the record score of 9.5/11, Ivanchuk last year who remained undefeated in _both_ sections, and Anand this year - technically also preceding Aronian because Vishy played in round 11.1 and Levon in round 11.2 (obviously, Aronian's +6=5 is more impressive than Anand's +3=8).
- The record for the rapid still goes to Karpov's 10/11 back in 1995. But that's a bit apples and oranges: Amber became an "exclusive elite event" (no wildcard spots for players as van Wely, Vallejo Pons or Ljubojevic past his prime) only for the last three editions.
While I am at it: Aronian's overall 15.5/22 is one of the best scores ever, last equalized by Kramnik in 2007. For better scores, we have to go way back in time: Kramnik's 16/22 in 1996, Karpov's 16/22 in 1995 and (best ever) Anand's 17/22 in 1994, ahead of Kramnik with 16/22.

Eh, I was actually quoting the e-mail I got from ICC this morning. Took it for granted that all of you are getting them.

Well, maybe he got it from Chessbase, where you can read the following:
With this win Carlsen increased his rapid score to 9½ from 11, the highest in Amber history.
Maybe Karpov got a better score i 1995, I don't know, but anyway 9.5/11 is extremely impressive, especially considering the quality of his opponents.
- Log in to post comments
Chessbase has stopped being a serious and legitimate chess news site since about 5 years ago. Such incorrect statements just underline that.
Best Rapid score in Amber is Karpov's 10/11 in 1995. Morozevich has the blindfold record ith 9.5/11 in 2006, while anand holds the best overall score 17/22 from 1994.
The only player who manged to get through an amber tournament undefeated is Vassily Ivanchuk in 2010. He is also the only one who played all 20 events.
Kramnik has the most overall wins (6) followed by Anand with 5. Anand won the blindfold section 9 times, Kramnik won the blindfold section 9 times.
Anand is the only player to score a clear win in both sections in one year - he did it twice.
- Log in to post comments
As a matter of fact, Chessvibes has the same sentence at the end of the report above - both Chessbase and Chessvibes copy ... the report at the Amber homepage. They are excused as the official site should have checked such facts.
I agree with eh (and hinted the same in my original post) that Carlsen's 9.5/11 is at least as impressive as Karpov's 10/11 back in 1995. And I still wonder where SXL found his "facts" about the blindfold results.
- Log in to post comments
Ah found it, SXL's other mistake is from the ICC coverage which he mentions, so several respectable sources were "talking nonsense without checking the facts" - ICC's error is quite amazing as even this year two players were undefeated in the blindfold section. It would have been clearer if he had put quotation marks to highlight that his entire post was copied from ICC, maybe the email message that came in about half an hour before he posted.
@ebutaljib: If I ever feel like checking ALL earlier results separately for rapid and blindfold ... in your tournament tables, it seems that you always put the rapid result first, i.e. in reverse order with respect to the schedule of the event (each round has first bllindfold, then rapid, at least for as long as I can remember)?

Well Sir Thomas in the match experience vs youth, the best scorer from the youth team got an invitation to Melody Amber, I don't know if you considered that a wildcard.
- Log in to post comments
No I didn't. Actually most of these qualifiers had already joined the world elite one year later - an exception was Smeets last year. A definition of wildcard might be "clearly lower-rated than the rest of the field, no supertournament invitations outside of their home country" (to acknowledge that van Wely played Corus, and Vallejo played Linares). Another one falling in that category was Peter Heine Nielsen - he, van Wely and Ljubojevic were actually sitting on the other (experienced) side of the table in the qualifying event.

Carlsen said he was not impressed by play level in anand topalov match...
and that he would be happy to play either player....
1> but sadly he chicked out of candidates
2> lost his no 1 ranking
3> lost to anand and kramnik several times in classical chess...
I think he forgets that in wcc (unlike tournament ) if you miss the buss , next chance will take several years.... In regular tournaments if you do not win 1 , next will be coming soon. Playing well when it matters most , with standing pressure is something anand has proved in 3 world champion ships. So i would say carlsen is far behind anand . Their is no question of who is the undisputed king of chess . vishy anand

Unlike Aronian, Magnus has a sub-par record against Anand 1-1 in classical chess. I guess against Kramnik too.
So, Magnus, please participate by qualifying for the World Chess Championship with the currently available arenas, prove yourself by beating and becoming the World Champion yourself before you are taken seriously as the World Champion and can propose changes.
Till then, with due respect to Carlsen's fans (especially, understandably, his die-hard Scandinavian fans), everything else is speculation.
Even for me, lots of the WCC matches looks so simple looking in. It is a different game all together to be playing it from scratch even for a potential world champion like Magnus.

Fischer was unbelievable.
If not for his mental illness of self-doubt, he would have participated more to the benefit of us true chess fans.
He certainly had a "beautiful mind" for chess and though difficult to ascertain, was probably the greatest (most creative) chess player of all times.

The highest award in the world of chess is the World chess champion title - objective information.
The final aim of every chess grandmaster is to win the highest award of the chess world. The highest award of the chess world constitutes the highest achievment.
Logically inferring, the one who keeps the highest award in the world of chess is also the one, who is at the very top. That is - Vishy Anand.
I don't think it is justified to undermine his name and achievments by subjective speculations with players, that achieved less than him.

Fans of Magnus Carlsen made me sick. It looked like if chess become to sort of Britney Spears stuff, with people yelling how nice Carlsen is, and making all kind of ridiculous statements in order to save their idol's arse. Lets not forget, this is a Chess first of all, not Magnus Carlsen, but Chess.

FAN 2: I heard of anand . For some funny incomprehensible reason he is called the world champ and world no 1. Magnus should be declared both IN MY OPINION.
FIDE : WELL he is not the world champ
FANS : coz he does not want to be one ! thats the point , he thinks this wcc stuff is silly.
FIDE : he is not the world no 1.
FANS : thats because he was sick and lost rating points in olympics. OTHERWISE , IN OUR OPINION he would be world no 1
FIDE : his record against kramnik is poor
FANS : he won the last encounter . IN OUR OPINION that should suffice to prove he is better than kramnik.
FIDE : He finshed behind aronian in amber
FANS : ohh come on , blind chess results do not matter

jokes could use some tact but pretty funny still :)

I can add one more,

To my fellow countrymen from Norway here on chessvibes (and chessbomb):
show some class and save your dead-beat "I-LOVE-CARLSEN-BECAUSE-HE-IS-MY-HERO-AND-THE-BEST-IN-THE-WORLD-FOREVER"-comments for a tournament he actually wins.
People like you make the rest of the world want to wipe their asses with our flag.

Well said, Sir.
But people like us from outside Norway understand your rightful pride of this great champion and we respect his abilities too, VERY MUCH.
We want to tell others that this was Aronian's tournament that he has won with merit, over even the World Champion, and to Magnus's credit, he almost matched Aronian. My cap tipping to all these great players (Aronian, Carlsen, and of course, the World Champion himself).

'You are as good as your last game' so until yesterday carlsen was the best rapid player, but who knows tomorrow? Also Aronian : today he wins Amber but in candidates tournament he can lose in the first round. In chess I think it is especially difficult to pointed out strength of players, because long break between tournaments/matches. We have only elo rating and tournaments and champ title. The second point out on Carlsen, the first on big three, the last on Anand.
But it doesn't matter when the next tournament/match will start, everybody start from zero. However, when you see on Aronian or Carlsen games and scores it's hardly believed that someone find them not strongest players in the world at the moment.
As for the elo it's rather funny when someone says 'he's better because he has two or seven points more or less'.

I never understood this saying "you are as good as your last game." Actually I think it is meaningless, because a brilliant player can have an off day and anyone can get lucky.

Please stop the "Carlsen's fans vs. Anti-Carlsen's fans" talk.
I would love to read comments about chess. Not about "chicked out" or "my absolutly perfect hero".
Aronian won. Congratulations!
Blindfolds are luck? No. And if it would be like that: they were part of Melody Amber. So, if you tried to win Amber, then you had to win blindfolds.
So: Aronian won. No Carlsen. Yes Aronian.
Carlsen won Super tournaments because of the football score. Well... everybody know that the tournament use it! (Oh, yes... and that's not true).
Carlsen is the best? No.
Aronian is the best? No.
Anand is the best? No.
They are in the same level (records doesn't matter).
Olympiads and that stuff: well, Aronian and Anand had bad times... (Topalov now).
I'm upset of this.

On Saturday, July 20, Round Rock Police arrested two suspects involved in a hit and run and purse snatching near the 200 block of University Boulevard. The suspects, Anthony Hutchins, 36, and Jennifer Taylor, 36, were driving a stolen vehicle. Both were arrested and transported to Williamson County Jail without incident.
At about 1 p.m. Saturday, Round Rock Police Officers responded to a report of an auto-pedestrian collision on University Boulevard. Witnesses reported that the collision occurred after the female driver stole a woman's purse and fled the scene in a nearby SUV with a man in the passenger seat.

Round Rock Police Officers located the vehicle in the 2800 block of University and arrested the two suspects. The suspects' vehicle was stolen out of Burnet County.
Hutchins, from Odessa, TX, is charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Aggravated Robbery and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.
Taylor, from Marble Falls, TX, is charged with Aggravated Assault with Serious Bodily Injury, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Robbery and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.

A former Rochester nursing home worker convicted of raping and impregnating a woman who was in a coma in 1996 will soon be out of prison.
John Horace is nearing the end of a 16-year prison sentence and could be released as early as March.
The State Department of Corrections says Horace is scheduled for a conditional release in March. He's expected to be under community supervision, or parole, until 2021.
Horace was convicted of sexual abuse for raping and impregnating a comatose woman in a nursing home 17 years ago. He was denied parole last year.
A judge ruled Friday that Horace is a Level Two sex offender. It's a moderate threat level and means his photograph and residence will be available on the state's sex offender registry.
"There was allegations that he plead to in fact, that he was acting and holding himself out, that he was a gynecologist and doing some exams on women and holding himself out as a sex therapist and again, in the deviant manner accessing women for his own sexual gratification," said Mary Randall, prosecutor.
The victim in this case had been in a coma for ten years following a car accident. She eventually gave birth to Horace's child, then died a year later.
The child is being raised by maternal grandparents.

Honda: Light truck sales outpace industry rebound
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on May 6th, 2010 at 8:59AM
Honda scored a decent U.S. sales month in April, with overall results up by 13 percent. But what has company insiders excited isn't strong Accord or Civic sales. Honda's light trucks, the Pilot, Odyssey, CRV and Ridgeline, were up 33 percent compared to April of 2009. Those vehicles comprise many of the most expensive vehicles in the Honda lineup, and a healthy source of profits. Automotive News reports that Honda VP John Mendel called light truck sales "spry," adding that truck sales are up for several automakers, signaling that the U.S. sales downturn may be waning. Mendel also points... Read More

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

White House officials didn't want to talk about reports that the president is going to ask Congress for far less money for Superstorm Sandy relief than Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg are hoping for. Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Erin Billups has the story.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Obama administration officials are tamping down reports that they plan to request between $45 and $55 billion in emergency disaster aid to states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
"It would be premature to speculate on a specific number" said White House Spokesperson Jay Carney.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are looking for more than $80 billion in aid. Anxious lawmakers sought answers at a Senate appropriations hearing Wednesday where both the FEMA Administrator and Housing and Urban Development Secretary testified.
"Can you confirm a number here?" asked New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg.
"I'm not sure where those reports are coming from. The facts are that we are still working on what our request will be. We do not have a specific number," said U.S. House and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan.
Donovan said the administration is still crunching the numbers with the impacted states.
"We're working with them to see how much money did we already have that can meet some of those needs. How much is being met by private insurance and how much new money is really needed from the federal government. I will tell you the President isn't going to leave New York or New Jersey or the entire region to fight for itself," Donovan said.
Secretary Donovan told New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand the same thing... and she says she's hopeful that 50 Billion dollar number is just a rumor.
"If that is the number it is inadequate. It will not even go remotely far enough to meet the needs of New York," New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said. "The numbers that the governors submitted to the White House were best estimates of what we know today."
Secretary Donovan did reveal to senators that the administration's emergency aid bill will include funding for storm prevention, something New York lawmakers have been calling for.
Donovan said, "You will see that we propose to invest in mitigation. We know now from studies from FEMA and elsewhere that for about every dollar we invest in mitigation, we get four dollars back in avoided costs over time."
The White House again says it hopes to get the emergency spending bill to Congress this week.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Here at the Prepatorium we realize almost everyone is interested in Black Friday, or perhaps Cyber Monday. In a word: savings. Everyone is seeking sales. Discounts. Markdowns. Tips on 'fiscally friendly' shopping, we know that.
But first, a quick recap on the latest news from J. Crew, all of it impacting how you spend your trust fund when shopping at the specialty retailer. Speaking with analysts yesterday about the company's performance, J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler was unequivocal in his opinion that the economic crisis has permanently changed how customers perceive and purchase at retail outlets:
"…we recognize that a sea-change has occurred with the consumer…."
Mr. Drexler believes consumers are demanding higher quality at reasonable prices, two attributes he says J. Crew merchandise has. Surprisingly, he mentioned price points on some specific items, unusual in light of the competitive environment:
"… our ballet flat category will start at under $100 for the first time ever…If you look at our January catalog, you'll see a ballet flat assortment at $98. This year I think they started at $128."
When asked about what items customers are willing to pay full price for, Tracy Gardner, J. Crew's President, mentioned several items:
- "…there's a beautiful ruffly blouse…."
- "… the T shirts that have all the fabulous embellishment, embroidery are blowing out."
- "Our match stick cords continue to be phenomenal; our match stick denims… "
- "They still love our cashmere cardigans."
Today's story about J. Crew's awful performance in WWD (Women's Wear Daily, subscription required) also quoted Mr. Drexler:
"We don't want to be the cheapest player. We want to be the longest-lasting high integrity quality player…. "
So what is J. Crew doing for you come Friday? They are opening at 6 a.m. and all sweaters are 20% off, with Clearance items also an additional 20% off. Things are already heavily discounted online, like the Girls Riley Critter Cord in bright pink, available in all sizes as of this writing. The Crewcut Kids slacks were originally $54, now $19.99 and $30 with the price determined by the color you select.

Replace something blue or buy gems and sell them.
Given the changes in 3.0 and what the expansion will bring, how am I best spending my last lot of Badges?
I currently have about 190 badges, and that will end up being more like 250 with Kara/ZA farming and such until D-Day.
I'm loving Block Value at the moment and the AoE grind just amuses me so much as well as smashing my shield into someone's face for a ridiculous amount of damage.
Is there any real 'must haves' for the expansion? Or is just buying gems the best way.
Current Badge items I've purchased;
Slikk's Cloak of Placation
Farstrider Defender's Cloak
Bracers of the Ancient Phalanx
Girdle of the Fearless
Unwavering Legguards
Ring of Unyielding Force
Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600, of course.
I've held off of the expertise neck so far as I'm exalted with Scryers and SSO.
My gear is mostly Kara/T4/ZA stuff as the 25 Mans hadn't really been available to me - certainly pre 3.0 at least, but pugs are much more freely accessible now so some 25 man T4/5 gear and maybe even some T6 gear (who knows!) could end up coming my way.
So yeah, should I buy some nice stuff like Chestplate of Stoicism, stack Strength and go smash more faces, or should I just buy gems and hope some nice gear finds its way into my bags? I'm not very good at DPS, but is there any DPS kit worth getting that I might not have thought of (i.e a crapload of strength or pen)?
All suggestions welcome!

Replace something blue or buy gems and sell them.
I bought the crossbow of relentless strikes and I'm getting one or two of the badge axes
well seeing as i got everything i wanted from badges now (fuck the dps gear =) prot dps ftw <3)
i just bought alot of epic gems and sold on AH to make some money for Wrath.
in your case it depends on what you wanna do, i mean are you lvling as prot? or dps? get better dps gear? and if there aint no tank gear upgrade well then do my suggestion and buy gems to sell
Never Fear When Baronen Is Near
Definitely Levelling as Prot.
I didn't want to 'Waste' my badges on something that wouldn't benefit me. Since the patch, Badges have just kept coming and coming and didn't want to just sell Gems like everyone else unless I really had nothing else to buy.
Like I said, I'm not that good at Warrior DPS, I levelled as prot from about 45 onwards as levelled with my GF (Nelf hunter, obviously) from then on and haven't specced Arms or Fury since.
I abhor PvP and just can't stand it, although I certainly found it slightly more fun (more fun as in only having one eye scooped out with a rusty spoon rather than both eyes) since the patch when going for the G.N.E.R.D Rage Achievement, so I've no real reason to spec anything other than Prot - even with the incoming Dual-Specs option I'll probably go fo offensive/defensive Prot Specs.
I just didn't want to miss a trick with a badge item(s) that will make Prot Levelling easier.
I've not bought the following (yet):
Ring of the Stalwart Protector
Sunguard Legplates
Sabatons of the Righteous Defender (I have Jungle Stompers)
I know they (and the Expertise neck) are probably the best Raid Tanking badge items in the game, but would I use them in the expansion?
Would Legplates of Unending Fury and/or Breastplate of Ire, Amani Mask of Death serve me better in my levelling - even as prot? Would that massive amount of strength be worth it? Or maybe something with some Armor Ignore?
Or should I stop thinking and just buy Lionseyes and Crimson Spinels
All the strength will definitely add some more dps to you even as prot. More attack power and larger shield slams or just larger hits all together make solo questing and all that non raid stuff go quicker. I plan on leveling as prot as well, but I will use mostly dps gear unless some tanking is required or I am trying to solo something a bit above me. Hope that gives you any help or if nothing else an opinion to go with it.
Having every single piece of prot and dps badge gear, I find myself using extra badges to buy gems and sell them. First thing I got when the new badge gear came out was the chest, but if you are farming ZA then I would hold out for ZJ's chest because it's almost just as good. According to my calendar, we have 4 more attempts at ZA before the expansion, when I'm sure ZA will become ZG part 2.
Get the Sunguard legs, IMO. The Expertise is pretty hawt. Others have done the math and pre 3.0, expertise was the best threat stat. I don't see how that can have changed.
I'm in the same position. I have 81 badges and have all the badge gear except:
Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600 - Item - World of Warcraft
Ring of the Stalwart Protector - Item - World of Warcraft
Slikk's Cloak of Placation - Item - World of Warcraft
Well, I have a ton of rings including the ZA chest ring and the SoS honored ring. I have the cloak off Alar and Corren's Lucky Coin so none of that is necassary. I was leaning toward the ring uintil this week and those other 2 fellinto my lap. I would love autoblocker but heck, I have the coin, I don't really need it. I can't see stacking them both going forward into the expansion. I guess I could get it anyway or load up on some DPS gear but.....meh.
Prolly just going to buy gems, heh.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Sunguard Legplates gives. Wouldn't Strength and Block be better against those l70-75 mobs I'll be facing before I get some genuine upgrades.
Note, no drops in ZA tonight. Only 3 more tries at the Shield, chest and Mojo
dont bother about the chest...shield yes..grab it..mojo ..ofc..mandatory must have
i had the chest and changed it for the badge one stoicismmmmss...par excellence.
Belgariad: EU : Lightnings Blade. Once a Tank. Always a Tank.
As Horacio said.. expertise is amazing.
In a perfect world, all warrior tank gear would have tons of Expertise and Block value.
Oh and Horacio.. I have the Autoblocker and the Coin. While its certainly 'novelty' at best.. you can use both at the same time and those + Shield Block makes for some absolutely absurd Damage Shield procs and Shield Slams. I was farming ZG for mount bosses with a SP and a prot pally and was getting 1100+ damage shield crits this way.
You should get it if for no other reason than to play around, if you have the badges!
Waffles: the other, other white meat.
Oh and as for the Amani Mask of Death.. I bought that just because of the way it looked.. my human warrior has the full 'set' of dps/ZA plate and she looks like some kind of freakish, trollmade murloc deity! I never fail to get whispers when I run around in it, lol.
Waffles: the other, other white meat.
Again, I'll revert to saying, this isn't a question about tanking, we all know how good expertise is for threat and the reduction of parry-gibs. And there's nothing that reduces damage taken like avoidance from Dodge and Parry.
Is all this avoidance and expertise going to be as useful for levelling as a protection warrior? Wouldn't swapping those stats for Strength and/or Block be better when taking on the L68-75 mobs in the first new Northrend Zones?
Should I finally get my Warbringer Chestguard from Maggy tonight, would that be better for the levelling grind than Chestplate of Stoicism?
Of course Chestplate of Stoicism has more EH and Avoidance, but assuming 3x Bold Crimson Spinel, would the T4 piece with it's higher (socketed) Strength and the additional base Block Value - plus the BV from the Strength - be better? It also has approx. 3.2% extra Block Rating too, which means more Damage Shields, and more chance of Revenge being up. With more Revenge uptime, consider how useful the 4-set Bonus could also prove to be, now we all have Glyph of Revenge.
Of course, should the Loot Gods be against me, I'll be buying the Badge chest immediately. But It's just something to consider and I could then put another 100 Badges to better use.

Any badge tanking items that aren't really similar to what you already have might be nice. Aside from tanking instances which you won't need to be geared to the teeth for, think of whether you want to build a DPS leveling set, or an AE leveling set. I'm not convinced at this point that one is faster than the other, so it's definitely a matter of personal preference.
i'm in this same boat, i basically have what I think I need for leveling (full season 4 with season 3 shoulder/weapons) for grinding, and for tanking gear I am composed mostly of t4, za, and badge gear, so I doubt I need more badge tanking gear. wtheck do I do with my badges? gems and sell on AH?
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
Bah. No chestpiece. 2x Hero and 1x Champion. Most annoying.
My current main has very few badges (new 70). Not enough to buy anything worth while. I am confident in Blizzards ability to provide the proper leveling gear, so will be turning all my badges on all my toons to gems, as leveling gems.
As for the badges, just turn em all into raw or cut Crimson Spinels and sell em all man, since those red ones are the most popular it seems. People are still buying them off the AH for 100g+. Gogo before their price drops even lower!
There are going to be blue quest rewards better than T6 starting at about level 77/78.

As Outrage Erupts, Obama Administration Defends its Targeted Killings of U.S. Citizens Overseas
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
AMY GOODMAN: The Obama administration has offered its most expansive defense to date of its policy authorizing the assassination of U.S. citizens abroad. In a speech at Chicago's Northwestern University, Attorney General Eric Holder outlined what the White House billed as the legal rationale for its claimed right to kill U.S. citizens who belong to al-Qaeda or associated forces. Holder said it's preferable to capture suspected terrorists when possible, but claimed the government also reserves the right to use lethal force. Specifically, Holder said the U.S. can target those who play an operational role in attacks that pose an imminent threat.
ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER: We must also recognize that there are instances where our government has the clear authority—and, I would argue, the responsibility—to defend the United States through the appropriate and lawful use of lethal force. This principle has long been established under both U.S. and international law. In response to the attacks perpetrated and the continuing threat posed by al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces, Congress has authorized the president use all necessary and appropriate force against those groups. Because the United States is in an armed conflict, we are authorized to take action against enemy belligerence under international law. The Constitution empowers the president to protect the nation from any imminent threat of violent attack. And international law recognizes the inherent right of national self-defense. None of this is changed by the fact that we are not in a conventional war.
It is an unfortunate but undeniable fact that some of the threats that we face come from a small number of United States citizens who have decided to commit violent attacks against their own country from abroad. Based on generations-old legal principles and Supreme Court decisions handed down during World War II, as well as during this current conflict, it's clear that United States citizenship alone does not make—does not make such individuals immune from being targeted.
AMY GOODMAN: Holder's speech comes five months after a U.S. drone killed the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. Another U.S. citizen, the Saudi-born Samir Khan, was also killed in the attack. A drone in Yemen two weeks later killed Awlaki's 16-year-old son, also a U.S. citizen. The Obama administration has steadfastly refused to provide the specific legal case behind the killing of the three.
In keeping with White House policy, during his remarks Holder refused to even confirm the existence of the CIA-Joint Special Operations Command drone program that carried out the attacks. Holder's speech was widely seen as the Obama administration's response to a hail of criticism and legal challenges after more than two years of keeping its assassination program under a cloak of secrecy.
Last month, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit seeking the release of government records on the drone strikes that killed the U.S. citizens in Yemen last year. The suit alleges the government has failed to adequately respond to the Freedom of Information Act requests and has unfairly invoked state secrecy privilege in refusing to disclose the information. The New York Times has filed a similar suit.
For more, we're joined by Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's National Security Project.
Welcome to Democracy Now!
HINA SHAMSI: Thank you for having me.
AMY GOODMAN: This was a major address yesterday that perhaps the ACLU helped bring on or forced to make happen. What do you make of what Attorney General Eric Holder said?

MyChelle At-A-Glance
Strengths: MyChelle provides complete ingredient lists on their Web site; one good sunscreen for sensitive skin; sheer coverage stick foundation for dry skin.
Weaknesses: A natural product line that overemphasizes what their products don't contain yet offers no conclusive proof that their list of allegedly bad ingredients is harmful; almost every product contains one or more irritating ingredients (most notably lavender oil); ineffective routines for improving acne and skin discolorations; only one sunscreen and no facial sunscreen is recommended for any of the daytime routines; no pH-correct AHA or BHA products; jar packaging; most of the makeup is difficult to blend due to its high wax and oil content; no makeup options for oily or blemish-prone skin.
Colorado-based MyChelle is sold in many health food, specialty supplement and vitamin shops, and spas. It was started by Myra Michelle Eby, an entrepreneur whose background includes years working in the natural products industry. Eby's background was mostly in sales and she translated that talent into creating MyChelle.
Like many lines that heavily emphasize natural ingredients, MyChelle spurns synthetic ingredients as always being bad or toxic. The company's catalog provides an ingredient dictionary that glorifies every natural ingredient they use as having multiple benefits for skin, but it leaves out any of the negative research proving that many plant (i.e., natural) extracts can have a negative effect on skin. Once again consumers are being fed a pipe dream that a natural product is the answer to their skin-care concerns. Depending on the MyChelle product you choose, you could be putting your skin at considerable risk for irritation, free-radical damage, and potentially phototoxic reactions when skin is exposed to sunlight. As is often the case with new skin-care companies promising the world, MyChelle has over a dozen moisturizers and serums proclaiming their lifting antiwrinkle properties, but it sells only one sunscreen, which they identify as being for the body not the face. None of that adds up to great skin care.
Ironically, while MyChelle products have lots of missteps, many of the products also contain several proven beneficial ingredients for skin alongside the irritating ones. Antioxidants, retinol, peptides, and skin-identical ingredients are often included, but when these great ingredients are mixed with ingredients that cause irritation, destroy skin cells, and cause collagen breakdown, they are fighting an uphill battle to provide your skin with any benefit.
Please don't misunderstand: we're all for natural as long as it doesn't make matters worse for skin, but that's simply not the case with the majority of products in this line. As for the "Dermaceuticals" portion of the name, well, that's just one more meaningless marketing term to look past, as there is nothing dermatologic or pharmaceutical about any of these products.

Boston, Massachu...
I do enjoy a good wax print.
This peplum top is a Frankenpattern that I created from the bodice of a favorite vintage pattern, Vogue 5842, and the peplum of Vogue 8815. This fusion turned out to be fairly straightforward; I simply ensured that the circumference at the bottom of the bodice was the same as the circumference at the top of the peplum. I made life a bit more complicated (it is my way) by adding black piping and geometric shapes topstitched to the sides. I blame Pabral Gurung's Spring 2012 show for this decision. Not much fun to line those shapes up. I'll leave it at that.
Naturally, a lime green peplum is never enough and I constructed a matching skirt from Burdastyle skirt pattern 107 in the 2/2011 magazine. The skirt pattern is most recognizable from the back. Originally I added seams to the front of the skirt where the darts were placed so that I could add contrasting panels at the sides. In the end I scrapped this idea and left the front seams which are accented with piping.
Happy Spring!

Gosh you really made that well. The skirt, top, the alignment of the pattern….the fabric is beyond edible looking… So saturated, stunning. Really gorgeous and I love that skirt with the jean top!
Apr 28, 2013, 10.36 PMby estilosalome
This is beyond beautiful. It is very chic and happy. I would totally wear this. Love the skirt with the chambray and the peplum top with jeans. Congrats on a project well achieved.

Ps. i love the geometricness of the pattern. Reminds me of a Keith Haring.
Apr 25, 2013, 12.39 PMby Meldbombs
So unique and interesting…..I never heard of wax print before though what is that? And haha I also have a tendency to overcomplicate things. My veteran sewing contact keeps me grounded though. Don't you love those people who always have the best tricks? Like banging hard denim seams with a hammer to make life easier?
Apr 27, 2013, 03.02 PMby patzel
Your question inspired me to do a little internet research on wax prints. Apparently they are a kind of resin-printed fabric, like a batik. I thought the article below by Slate was really interesting if you want to read more about wax prints.
