"Put your big girl pants on for this one!"
This one took some intestinal fortitude - - I literally listened to parts of it while squirming in discomfort. But, even given that, she's such a good writer and the characters so interesting you cannot help but to appreciate and excellent writing style. The characters are facing down their pasts and, like so many of us as we face the future, willing to risk everything to make what has happened to us palatable. I did at one point worry that this was the case where a woman writer was deliberately overly graphic so she could be one of the "boys," but I realized that I was being sexist and unfair since violence and evil don't give much regard for gender, and the author was being true to the story. Good for you, sister. The narrator is also first rate and subtly changed the voices to make the story really flow smoothly. I hadn't a clue this was part of a series and didn't miss any references because of it. I will, however (after I screw up some more courage), listen to more of this author's works.
"My other home in Botswana"
Mma Romatswe is like a dear friend - - I love visiting her and her world. I love to listen to these wonderful books and feel like I've gone home - - although I've never visited the continent. This is an especially wonderful visit. Come with us.
"Performed not read...."
This is one of those "you HAVE to listen to it to fully enjoy it" books. Yep, Amy Poehler is hysterically funny (no surprise), slightly bawdy (not much of a surprise), and delightfully wise (a bit of a surprise). Having loved her on SNL and Parks and Rec, I knew I'd love her book and no surprise at all, I was right. You will too.
Just one bit of warning, she is not the "G" rated Leslie Knope on this one; this is the "R" rated Amy Poehler.
"Shhhh - don't tell people I LOVE these books...."
I am such a closeted fan of the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb. Closeted because I don't want everyone to know how easily my tastes slip to the ridiculousness of a hard-edged female cop of the future married to gorgeous, slightly bad boy, go-zillionaire, living in a mansion with so many rooms you don't know them all. Any questions that this all takes place in a romance novel? I don't read stuff like that. Okay, so I've also read the other 38+ of these, but only because I wanted to know what all the fuss was about.
This is the next one. Fortunately it's also a good next one. The murder is wrapped in Christmas and holly this time, and the characters are so stereotypical they could only be in a J.D. Robb book. Or in a Nora Roberts book. But I digress.
To fully appreciate this one you really do need to know the characters (Peabody is my favorite!), and understand the difficulties that they've been through to fully appreciate this one. I do love when authors throw one out there for the faithful - - and this is certainly one of those. The narrator is always so good and after 38 other practices, has the voice and the nuance of each character down cold. It's like visiting old friends. Enjoy if this is your cup of tea, just please don't tell anyone it's mine!
"I want to adopt all of them into my family"
This lovely book is the perfect reminder of what the ups and downs of being a family really is, and that your family is who YOU choose it to be. I lived, fretted, rejoiced, worried, and felt for each character as each lived through the tortures and triumphs of life - - just praying that they all are "okay" when it's all said and done. Great narration of a wonderful British family (and yes, I did miss a few of the references) that proves one plus one equals more.
"We're all victims of our youth"
A brilliant reminder of how each stage of our lives sets us up for the next one, I found this Murakami as challenging and ultimately satisfying as all the rest: which is to say, when it's over you find yourself saying this can't be the end. This book is in desperate need of a book club so you can talk through what the small tangent tales say about the main story line.
This is a great introduction of a brilliant author - - despite the off-putting accent the narrator adopts when the characters are speaking. I haven't a CLUE why this was done, but it feels uncomfortable at best and racist as worse. If you can get past that, the story itself is almost like a young adult book reminding us of how it feels to be young, vulnerable, and so at the mercy of the friends who you adopt as family.
But, if you don't enjoy tangents, the occasional mystical thread, or if you need a beginning, middle, and end to be happy, probably not the book for you. If want to let go, think hard, and ride the fantasy train, enjoy.
"I think I was "over promised" on this one"
Once again suckered by Oprah (who can do NO wrong in my eyes), as much as I tried to find sympathy and understanding I found myself saying, just stop it, oh grow up, and how naive can one person be, over and over again. Please understand I feel guilty passing judgment on another person's life, but since it was my credit I used, I feel like I bought the right to say you're too old to be this clueless about the consequences of things that can KILL you. Maybe it can serve as a cautionary tale.
"Aussie awesomeness"
Long one of my favorite writers, this book does not disappoint. The perfect mix of happy, light, weighty and triumphant, this one was near impossible to put down. Getting finished I feel like I've said goodbye to dear friends whose lives were lovingly entangled in mine. Pitch perfect.
"Loving this series!"
Such a smart and entertaining book and series. The characters in this case are fully developed: in other words you swing between loving and hating them, just like in real life. And our heroes remain to true to themselves throughout. Good plot, good writing, and really great narration. My favorite summer read so far.
"Not bad for a first effort"
I always think that with "thrillers" you should have at least a couple of times when you go, "Ohhhh," because the author introduces something you aren't expecting. Not a single Ohhhh (okay, maybe one small one) in this book. The strange part is you can, however, see the POTENTIAL for a really good story that is lying just beneath the writing. You know someday it will get there. Just not yet. I'll look forward to seeing something else written by this author ...... someday. Narrator is quite good.
"How can you top the last book?"
Well, he didn't top the last book. He kind of wrote around it. The problem with this one, and with all sequels is that it's near on impossible to add the element of surprise. You know the characters, you know the parameters of the story, and you're nestled in waiting to be amused at the same level of the previous book. On top of that, the last Thursday Next book wrapped everything up into a tidy bow so that you're really not looking for more. This book not only beats "sequel-itis", it also manages to uphold the cute and clever that mark the previous efforts. Yep, it's the same character just done in a different way - - and yes, I realize I'm not explaining this well - - that's because I don't want to give it away. Bottom line: if you like the previous books you'll like this one too. If you haven't read the previous books then what the heck are you waiting for?

Eljanov wins final FIDE GP, Radjabov qualifies for Candidates
Pavel Eljanov today won the sixth and final FIDE Grand Prix tournament in Astrakhan, Russia. The Ukrainian finished with a score of 8/13, a full point ahead of a group of five GMs. One of them was Teimour Radjabov, who finished second in the final GP standings and qualified for the FIDE Candidates matches.
The 6th FIDE Grand Prix took place May 10-24 in Astrakhan, Russia. Akopian (2694), Alekseev (2700), Gashimov (2734), Gelfand (2741), Eljanov (2751), Inarkiev (2669), Ivanchuk (2741), Jakovenko (2725), Leko (2735), Mamedyarov (2763), Ponomariov (2733), Rajabov (2740), Svidler (2735) and Wang Yue (2752) played. More details can be found in our first report.
Round 10
Would Pavel Eljanov be able to finish the tournament as strongly as he had played so far? How would he fare after the second and last rest day? Well, on Friday the Ukrainian had a crystal clear answer to this question. He defeated Hungarian top GM Peter Leko in 43 moves, perhaps not in the most convincing way, but the result is what counts.
Leko was more than fine after the opening (Eljanov didn't like his 10.Ng3) and even rejected a draw offer on the 20th move. However, in the subsequent game the Hungarian made a few mistakes, and White obtained an advantage in the ending due to a strong passed pawn on the queenside. From that point Eljanov played very energetically. He did not allow Black to bring his king into the center, which would save the game for Leko. On the 43rd move White's passed pawn became unstoppable, and Leko resigned.
Gashimov stayed half a point behind the leader after beating Inarkiev in a strong Ruy Lopez game. "I found an interesting plan with 15.Bd3 and 16.Re2," he said afterwards. "My pawn sacrifice led to a curious position: White is a pawn down, Black pieces seem to be active, but actually White can play for a win at no risk. Soon I regained the material, keeping all the advantages of my position, then won an exchange and converted the advantage without much trouble." Inarkiev: "I admit that Vugar played very energetically and deserved his win."
Radjabov slowly but surely outplayed Akopian with Black in a Sveshnikov. "Maybe trading the queens was wrong," said Akopian, "and I should have preferred 24.Qh6. I also don't like my next moves – 26.Ndf4 and 28.f4. White's position became very cramped, and Teimour showed good technique, not giving me any chances to survive." 26.Ndf4 was a "serious inaccuracy" according to Radjabov.
Round 11
This round saw another Azeri derby: Radjabov versus Mamedyarov. It was an important game, since Radjabov's win regained his chances to qualify for the Candidates matches. In the Exchange Variation of the Ruy Lopez White got a small advantage and then developed a strong initiative following Black's unsuccessful queen maneuver on the 19th move. The game transposed to a queen ending with a remote passed pawn for White. Black was short on time and committed the decisive error on the 38th move. Mamedyarov resigned immediately due to inevitable loss of the kingside pawns.
Radjabov: "I think after 20.Qf4 White may already be winning. Not sure if 28.d6 was necessary, but I thought I needed to force the issues. In any case, after this move it becomes extremely difficult for Black to hold." Mamedyarov didn't agree with Radjabov's assessment of the opening: "In my opinion, White didn't get any advantage. He started to take the upper hand only when I made a mistake by 19...Qd4 – this move is overambitious."
Also relevant for the Candidates spot was Gashimov's loss against Ponomariov. He couldn't adopt his Benoni as the Ukrainian went for other schemes. Ponomariov about Gashimov only playing the Benoni: "The disadvantage is that he knows other lines superficially. Thus I decided to transpose to the Nimzo-Indian Defense. In my opinion, I got a very comfortable position. Perhaps in the middlegame I could play better. For example, on the 17th move I could take on g3 with the queen, making Black's defensive task tougher. Yet, defending was unpleasant enough for such an active player as Vugar. He started to make reckless moves such as 26...h5, which helped me to win the game."
Round 12
Five-time Russian champion Peter Svidler finally won his first game in Astrakhan. He successfully avoided Gelfand's Petroff and used the Four Knights to beat the Israeli in 31 moves. Gelfand's sharp f-pawn push on the 21st move proved to be a big mistake. Svidler delivered a nice tactical blow, and Black's position collapsed.
Akopian defeated Ivanchuk in just 23 moves. The Ukrainian handled the Ragozin Variation of the Queen's Gambit too passively. Akopian comfortably arranged his pieces and launched a kingside attack. On the 21st move the Armenian sacrificed an exchange, which turned out to be a very unpleasant surprise for Black. In two more moves Ivanchuk abandoned his resistance.
Akopian, after the game: "I'm surprised that the victory came so easily – I have a bad score against Vassily. The plan that I employed in this game is not new: White ignores the d4-pawn and concentrates on a kingside attack. Vassily played without confidence; his 14...g6 only provokes my attack. And on the next move he should have played 15...h5. After he missed this opportunity, my only problem was to choose correctly from several good continuations. The final position is so ugly for Black that Vassily just resigned. Well, this probably just wasn't his day..."
Mamedyarov improved upon his first round game against Jakovenko, to which Leko couldn't find a good answer. Perhaps White didn't find all the best moves, but nevertheless Mamadyarov managed to transpose to an ending with a big advantage, which he effectively converted to the full point.
Leko: "This was a strange game. Losing to Eljanov killed my chances to qualify for the candidates matches, which obviously affected my motivation today. Of course, this is not a good excuse for my poor play against Shakhriyar..."
Alekseev-Inarkiev was the longest game of the 12th round. After interesting complications in the Slav Defense the players arrived at a very original position, in which White had three minor pieces against a rook and three pawns. White slowly but surely consolidated his pieces and launched the attack on the king. He then won a pawn and advanced to a winning ending. Despite Black's stubborn resistance, Alekseev won the game on the 88th move.
Round 13
Eljanov needed a draw to secure sole first, and he did so with the black pieces against Gelfand. The two have worked together in the past years, but with White Gelfand did press for while. In a Nimzo he sacrificed a pawn to open up the position, but Eljanov gave back the material and after the exchange of the minor pieces the position remained balanced.
After winning the Bosna tournament in 2009, Eljanov now has a new 'best tournament of his career'. Winning this Grand Prix, one of the strongest tournaments on average rating and of this scale ever held, is a fantastic result for the 27-year-old, who proved that his new status of Ukraine's number one player wasn't a coincidence.

Astrakhan Grand Prix 2010 | Schedule & results
After the 12th round, Ivanchuk, Leko, Mamedyarov and Alekseev were eliminated from qualifying for the runner-up position. Grischuk was also eliminated, because Radjabov scored well enough to ensure that even if he'd lose his final round, he'd gain enough GP points to surpass Grischuk.
In the final round of Astrakhan, Jakovenko was eliminated with his draw and Gashimov has been eliminated with his loss. The winner of the Radjabov-Wang Yue game decided matters: a win for the Chinese would have meant qualification, but Radjabov with White held a Petroff ending a pawn down to a draw and this was enough to end second in the overall Grand Prix. Thanks to ebutaljib for providing this table:

And so an end has come to a long series of six super tournaments which had its ups and downs. Positive were the tournament websites, with extensive reports (disclaimer: which were written by yours truly in Baku and Sochi), sometimes videos (by the Turkish Chess Federation in Baku, Europe-Echecs in Sochi and - another disclaimer - by me in Nalchik) and sometimes game analysis by GM Sergey Shipov.
More importantly, a big number of players had the opportunity to play in big, strong events and make good money.
But of course many more things went wrong. Three host cities (Doha, Karlovy Vary and Montreux) withdrew when it became clear that the money wasn't there. Their nominated players had to leave the series and Yannick Pelletier was hit the most, as he couldn't play a single event. The Czech organizers were very disappointed when Adams and Carlsen had good reason to leave the series: because of the sudden change of the World Championship cycle, during the cycle.
When it all started, the idea was that the winner of the GP would play against the
World Champ. (We would have had a Aronian-Anand match in 2012.) winner of the World Cup. (We would have a Gelfand-Aronian match and the winner would play Anand.) But during the Olympiad in Dresden, FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov suddenly announced the Candidates 'tournament' (which would later be rephrased to 'matches'), for which the numbers one and two of the GP Series would qualify.
Another point of criticism FIDE received by many (e.g. more than once by Kasparov) was about the locations of the events. The whole series never managed to leave the greater Caucasus region, and so no single event was organized in a bigger, Western city, which didn't really help to attract corporate sponsorship either.
In general the idea wasn't so bad. But the execution could have been much better.
Update: according to Harish in the comments, the pairings for the Candidates matches are:
1. Topalovs vs Kamsky ( 1 vs 8 )
2. Carlsen vs Radjabov ( 2 vs 7 )
3. Kramnik vs Nominee ( 3 vs 6 )
4. Aronian vs Gelfand ( 4 vs 5 )

>> When it all started, the idea was that the winner of the GP would play against the World Champ. (We would have had a Aronian-Anand match in 2012.)
This is not correct. The original idea was that the winner of the GP would play the winner of the World Cup in a candidates final match. So, we would have a Gelfand-Aronian candidate match in 2011, the winner of which would then challenge Anand.

So here are the pairings for the candidate matches --- as per http://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/regscandidates.pdf
1. Topalov (loser of Wch is seeded as 1)
2. Carlsen ( rest are seeded according to January 2010 rating http://ratings.fide.com/toparc.phtml?cod=157 )
3. Kramnik
4. Aronian
5. Gelfand
6. Nominee ( either Gashimov or Mamedyarov )
7. Radjabov
8. Kamsky
So the quarter final pairings are
1. Topalovs vs Kamsky ( 1 vs 8 )
2. Carlsen vs Radjabov ( 2 vs 7 )
3. Kramnik vs Nominee ( 3 vs 6 )
4. Aronian vs Gelfand ( 4 vs 5 )
And semi-finals
1. Winner of (Topalov vs Kamsky) vs Winner of (Aronian vs Gelfand)
2. Winner of (Carlsen vs Radjabov) vs Winner of (Kramnik vs Nominee)
Aronian will probably never have to play in Baku as he will never face a Azeri unless Aronian and an Azeri get to the final.

"So, we would have a Gelfand-Aronian candidate match in 2011"
If FIDE hadn't changed their cycle halfway through the top players would have had to play the World Cup, and then Gelfand wouldn't have won, so Aronian-Kramnik or Aronian-Carlsen would have been much more probable than Aronian-Gelfand.

Aha yes, I forgot that. Updated the article. Thx for the table, ebutaljib. Thx for the info, Harish. Hm... so another Topalov-Kamsky!

I don't know if these regulations still hold. They were isued before the last GP was postponed, and they are still talking about candidates being played in 2010, with world championship match in 2011.
But since then the dates have been moved for one year - candidates in 2011 and world championship match in 2012.

On the concluding paragraphs (after the GP final standings table): You provide a balanced view of the entire GP series - some other sources are much more negative.
Changes _during_ an ongoing cycle: no excuses for this, even if chess fans will now be treated to quite a few more interesting (mini-)matches besides Gelfand-Aronian which should still happen [not entirely certain because Aronian refuses to play in Baku]. But for the Karlovy Vary organizers, this (and Carlsen + Adams dropping out) was a convenient explanation or excuse for cancelling the event, not the actual reason.
I find the part about the venues a bit unfair - from you as well as Kasparov.
"no single event was organized in a bigger, Western city, which didn't really help to attract corporate sponsorship either." Wasn't it the other way around? No corporate Western sponsors means no GP event in western countries - or should FIDE first schedule an event in London, Paris or New York and then look for sponsors?
There may be various reasons for lack of sponsorship or sponsor interest. Having to deal with FIDE and Ilyumzhinov could be one reason, things _might_ change under a new FIDE president .... . But sponsors may still prefer to organize their own chess event, where they have full control over the field and can limit the number of ex-Soviet players to about half of the field and only familiar names. If FIDE is to be blamed, then primarily for the ambitious and premature announcement that the GP series would be held in major cities, striving for one event on each continent.
I also think that the Caucasian organizers deserve credit for making the events happen after all, often at short notice - and only the last event was substantially delayed, as far as I remember because the playing venue was built only recently. The locations may be a bit difficult to reach, but - with the exception of Elista - they are probably as attractive as Wijk aan Zee in January :) .

I indeed like this format. Sure, no more changes to underway cycles, ever, but a very good concept it is, now.
I agree with Thomas. The Caucasus region was parheps where FIDE/Ilyumzinhov's influence was enough for things to happen, and good for them that they had all these nice tournaments there. Other (western and eastern) cities and sponsors are required and it's a shame it has not happened yet, but THAT is not something ISOLATEDELY criticizable on FIDE.

I was hoping for a shot of Gelfand vs. Eljanov at the board in the final round, but one from the presser will do. Brothers in Chess:

It's a very bad concept . The loser of the previous candidates match ,Kamsky, hasn't deserved a spot at all. Even the loser of the previous WC match shouldn't get a spot in the next candidates. It's unfair towards the other players. These players had their chance.
Nominee spot is total Nonsense, too. What if the candidates happen to be in Austria next time? Will Ragger then play in the candidates matches?

Lets see if Kamsky will become American chess champion, then maybe he deserved that place.
Yeah, the loser of WC match shouldn´t get automatically a place in the candidates, he should fight for it and Nominee thing is stupid, but this time it makes sense because Gashimov and Mamedyarov are top guys, though its unfair to the others.
Wouldn´t it be better to see more games in the matches, because now the luck factor is bigger, best of 4... we could see a final of kamsky against radjabov with that if they make a lucky shot. Best of 8 for quarters and semi finals and best of 10 for candodate finals would be nicer. :]

Nominee ought to have a good chance. Nominee, after all, has won more chess games than anyone else in the past century. Before that, the leader was Anonymous.

For a moment there, I thought Nominee was that famous player N.N. who has lost in spectacular fashion against some of the world's best players ever since the 1800s. That would have been something to look forward to - guaranteed brilliancies.
- Log in to post comments
That's why people can disagree.
Although I respect your opinion on the losers of previous candidates and WC, I must say it's completely abusive to call it "unfair towards the other players". They also had their (great) chances! And it's all part of what I think is a good concept.
Nominee is also something you should try to understand first, and criticize second. First, it's absolutely normal in what great events organization is concerned. It's like a completely undurstandable privilege to the city hosting the event, if you also know that:
a) You don't have to nominate a citizen from your country;
b) You can't nominate no one with 2700 or less ELO.
So there goes your "reasons". If Austria was to organize it, it should nominate a foreigner, but it was still an interesting privilege.
No, one could not have it as "Nominee thing is stupid, but this time it makes sense". THAT is what doesn't make sense.
I agree with you on having more games per match.
I completely disagree about your moking of a "kamsky against radjabov" final.
IF that should happen, it is not certain that it would be because of "luck"! That is something that CAN happen with 20 or more games per match, I think they have chess for ANY of the others, and indeed is one of the scenarios that would please me the most. ;-)

according to the live ratings list the pairings for the Candidates matches would be:
1. Carlsen-Shirov
2. Topalov-Grischuk
3. Kramnik-Mamedyarov
4. Aronian-Eljanov
and not:
1. Topalovs vs Kamsky ( 1 vs 8 )
2. Carlsen vs Radjabov ( 2 vs 7 )
3. Kramnik vs Nominee ( 3 vs 6 )

ALL +2700 rated players had the opportunity to play in Grand Prix or World Cup.
Anand (at that time nobody knew if he is still going to be the reigning champion at the end of grand prix), Topalov, Kramnik, Shirov and Morozevich refused to participate in Grand Prix. They were the initital qualifiers.
After they refused, the reserves were called in. Among those reserves was Judit Polgar, who also refused. When Pelletier, Al-Modiahki were kicked out, and Carlsen and Adams withdrew, further reserves were called in. Among them was Ponomariov, who refused to take part in GP (he was playing the last GP tournament only as a one time replacement for Aronian who has already qualified). Everybody who had average rating above 2683 in the January 2007 and October 2007 rating list had a chance to play in Grand Prix.
So you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
It's same with World Cup - Anand, Topalov, Carlsen, Kramnik, Aronian, Leko, Nakamura, Ni Hua were all eligible but refused to take part.
EVERYBODY who means something in chess had a chance. Everybody!

@wolf gray
"Till now cannot understand why Ivanchuk resigned to Akopian."
Surely because he felt he was undoubtly going to lose. And he was.
Now, is there a straightforward, concrete, obvious and forced variation leading to mate? No, but he also knows Akopian wouldn't allow any jokes, in a completely dominant and cramped position. "Game over" must have been the feeling both had.

Man, do you understand that you have to qualify fdor the world championship, one way or another? You don't get picked up from the rasting list, and certainly not from some unofficial privately published list. Do you understand how those 8 players qualified for the candidates?

this was no criticism from me, i looked only at the ratings list and compared.
some statistic.
- Log in to post comments
Even if you have your wishlist of candidates based onELO rating.. Kamsky looks like a complete joke among the big guys. He is only 1 or 2 points bove 2700 and all in all does not desrve playing in the candidates. still do not understand why the loser of kamsky - Topalov match and the Loser of Anand - Topalov match get an automatic invitation for the next pretendent cycle.. should have been some trade-off from Ilyumzhinov for the chance to unite all chess titles.
- Log in to post comments
Loser of the last World championship match was always seeded into the next candidates, so Topalov certainly deserves his place there. Why the loser of challenger match is there, thats a mystery for me too. But OK, he is there, and he is certainly not someone whom others could take lightly.
- Log in to post comments
Judging from you name, you don't come from a big western chess country like France, Germany or Spain.
Therefore I'm not surprised at all about your strange sense of fairness.
Yeah, all 2700+ had the chance to play, but their chances to qualify were negligible, while Nominee, loser of candidates final and loser of WC-match get a free pass to the candidates for having accomplished absolutely nothing.
Just because something was always done, doesn't mean it's right.
The WC match loser doesn't deserve another chance without a qualification.
Topalov would have been qualified for the next cycle by rating.

I suppose said losers did in fact accomplish something. Otherwise they would have had no opportunity to lose...
One can hardly make a 'fair' decision based on merits. Many players deserve a shot at this match. These two have played well in the past cycle, so one might expect that they will play well in the future.

One fair reason to include the loser of the last match is that he hasn't had much time to qualify, as he has been busy preparing for the championship. True, both Anand and Topalov (and Kramnik too) were offered a place in the Grand Prix, but this was at a time when they all hoped that they wouldn't need to qualify, because they might be reigning champions by now. If we (the chess public) want them to give it their best shot in the WC matches, we can't also expect them to interrupt their preparation to play in a qualification tournament at a time when they don't even know yet if they need to qualify. Maybe we need a shorter qualification process that only starts after the WC match is over.

I agree with bondegnasker that it makes sense to include the loser in the WCh match in the candidates event - BTW he stilll needs to win three matches to get another shot at the title. Whether it makes sense to include Kamsky (based on winning the World Cup in 2007, but he didn't have comparable results ever since) is another story.
Regarding ups' comment: Live rating lists are just snapshots in time, so are the official FIDE lists, let's check who would have "qualified" based on the last three official ones. Such a candidates event would always include Carlsen, Topalov, Kramnik and Aronian (they are a class apart, no questions asked), #s 6-9 on the FIDE lists are:
May 2010 - Mamedyarov, Grischuk, Wang Yue, Eljanov
March 2010 - Mamedyarov, Grischuk, Svidler, Gelfand (Wang Yue 1 point behind, Ivanchuk 2 points behind)
January 2010 - Gelfand, Gashimov, Ivanchuk, Wang Yue
Two points I want to make:
- Those who did qualify (Gelfand), could have qualified via the GP (Gashimov, Ivanchuk, Wang Yue, Grischuk) or might get the wildcard (Mamedyarov, Gashimov) are also worthy candidates based on recent rating criteria. Radjabov fell out of the top 10 rather recently (#7 in September 2009, #11 in November 2009), and his GP result reflects the cumulative score over the entire period covered by the series.
- Eljanov made the top10 only recently. If he can confirm his status (as the Astrakhan result suggests, but it's only a start), he can or will play a role in the next WCh cycle.

You assume much too much from internet handles :)

People tend to forget that the "candidates" are not people who we offer the world title, nor even privileged players who we put contesting it directely.
They all DID already great things in these few years, to classify themselves, and they have yet to pursue their classification, precisely called "candidates".
@Mike, ebutaljib
Mike indeed assume too much, and not only from from internet handles.
The most laughable thing is what looks like "Are you from Germany, France, Spain? Then, you must have a strange sense of fairness".
Which, all in all and looking at his own sense of fairness, could be the best compliment! :-)

Sorry for my English. Maybe I should have said "qualification", rather then "classification".

Not including Kamsky would be downright CRIMINAL. Thats right I said it.
Remember when Kamsky won the World Cup the conditions were the Winner of the World Cup would Face the World Champion as the WCH CHALLENGER. This right was then destroyed by the sith (Danilov and Topalov) who managed to insert Topalov as challenger to Kamsky in a match for WCH Challenger. They did this under the retarded grounds that Topalov deserved this match cause he wasn't allowed at the Mexico 2007 tournament. He wasn't allowed at Mexico 2007 BECAUSE THEY insisted on the 2006 Elista match on inserting a clause that said the loser of the match (which they assumed would be Kramnik) could not participate in 2007 tournament. In other words they locked themselves out. So Kamsky lost the chance he EARNED for no reason? Therefore, they owe kamsky and now they are paying him.

@ CAL|Daniel
Could not agree more!
Just wondering though.
When would the chess world repay Shirov his just dues!?
- Log in to post comments
I don't know hansie but I would like to see Shirov repaid as well. I'm just tired of people looking at ELO as the end all be all. Kamsky earned his place and it was denied to him. I don't think any 'chess fans' can understand the kind of pressure and psychology junk that throws at a player.

pl learn to understand English before you post a reply.

Pls "learn to understand" the minimum English necessary to "understand" the simple inversion «Are/Aren't you from Germany, France, Spain (or other "big western chess country")? Then...».
By the way, it's something irrelevant, when you try to "learn to understand" MEANINGS and ESSENCES of questions. So, also pls do so.
By the way, also try to refer to things people say that refutes your ideas, instead of leaving those untouched, while adressing completely superficial/alien aspects.
I know, trying to distracting is a way to not recognising errors, but only works with... distracted people.
Thx in advance.

"You don't come from a big western chess country like France, Germany or Spain.
Therefore I'm not surprised at all about your strange sense of fairness."
This sounds like ethnic or racial bigotry to me.

Mother's Day jewelry is a classic gift that will always be in style. Delight moms, grandmas, and wives with bright and shiny Mother's Day jewelry gifts for her! RedEnvelope's Mother's Day gift ideas take the traditional present of jewelry and make it unique, with subtle touches like birthstones, engravings, and symbolic charms. Our Mother's Day necklaces, rings, & bracelets feature gleaming precious metals and all the baubles she loves, from diamonds and gems to artistic Murano glass beads. We also offer keepsake jewelry boxes and whimsical ring holders that double as gifts of home décor.
Personalized family jewelry makes a sentimental gift that no mom can resist. Consider a necklace set with each of her children's birthstones, or a silver pendant engraved with the words "my mother, my friend". Anything that is personalized with the names of her kids will instantly become a signature accessory that she wears every day! Other Mother's Day jewelry items arrive bearing the title "mother" in several languages; multicultural families can be completely represented with an elegant Languages of Mom necklace or bracelet. An eternity ring that features the letters M-O-M around the band is a subtle but stylish jewelry for mom will treasure.
Charm necklaces and bracelets are easy Mother's Day gift ideas; you can select charms that represent her family, her hobbies, and her personal style. Choose a new charm each year for an ongoing Mother's Day jewelry gift she will love! Hearts are an obvious symbol of love, so any heart jewelry is appropriate for mom. Select heart jewelry with gemstone accents, like a cultured ruby heart necklace, or a garnet heart bracelet. Each gem has its own meaning, so pick a stone with a hue and sentiment she will appreciate. We suggest diamonds, to represent eternal love and strength. Infinity symbol bracelets and past-present-future rings also represent never-ending love; what could be better for Mother's Day jewelry and accessories?
Pearl stud earrings and single strand pearl necklaces are often given to mothers and grandmothers on Mother's Day. Make the present unique by selecting pearl jewelry that has a twist, like family pearl stacking rings. Another pearl jewelry gift for mom is our exclusive Pea in a Pod necklace. Freshwater pearls are nestled within sterling silver "pods", representing up to four children in one pendant. See our gently curved Loving Arms necklace for a different version of the same concept, with tiny freshwater pearls representing each child resting within mom's arms.
Murano glass jewelry is a new Mother's Day trend that will be in favor for years. These stunning beads have been hand crafted in Murano, Italy since 1291! They are then fashioned into exquisite artistic pieces of jewelry, exclusive to RedEnvelope. A Murano heart necklace or Murano glass beads bracelet will give her a one of a kind accessory with a story to tell. If your mom or grandma loves her Murano jewelry, you can select new pieces to add to her collection for each upcoming holiday.
If you've been giving mom jewelry for years, you might want to try something new for Mother's Day 2012. Our leather and wooden jewelry boxes for women are the perfect choice. We suggest an elegant jewelry box, dresser top catchall, or ring holder. RedEnvelope has large jewelry armoires for women with lots of accessories, and leather jewelry rolls so ladies can take jewelry with them when travel. Sterling silver baby elephant and baby giraffe ring holders don't take up too much space, but they will bring a smile to her face! Some say it's bad luck to gift an empty jewelry box, though, so you might want to buy at least one bauble to tuck inside…
New styles of Mother's Day jewelry & accessories promise to make 2012 her favorite year yet! Unique flower necklaces and vintage inspired charms offer something for every mom's style and family. Flower jewelry makes a sweet (albeit fragrance-free) alternative to traditional bouquets of Mother's Day flowers; consider giving mom a "bouquet" pendant to surprise her this May! Our always & forever flower necklace features a charming pendant shaped like a bunch of shimmering blooms. Iridescent white and pink mother of pearl petals are clustered with tiny agate stones for an eye-catching design that goes with any outfit. Mom can wear her Mother's Day flowers all year long, with jeans and a tee or her favorite little black dress! You can also present your mother with a preserved flower pendant, like our verbena necklace. The antique-inspired design boasts a genuine verbena flower, arranged atop aged paper and beneath a protective resin finish. The baby's breath necklace has a similar design, but it features real baby's breath sprigs against a baby blue background. Shop the exclusive selection at RedEnvelope to find a bauble that appeals to your mom's personal sense of style. These birthday gifts for mom will have her smiling brighter than a diamond in May 2012!
All moms deserve to be pampered on Mother's Day, and jewelry is one of the best ways to spoil her. Select from RedEnvelope's high quality, exclusive collection of accessories for the best Mother's Day gifts!

|Tender pineapple muffins with toasted coconut.
I thought I'd reprise this important post (and fabulous muffin recipe) from a year ago- when the gluten-free community was buzzing from insults on every side. Consider this my UNapology for living gluten-free.
April Fools Day looms. But you won't find any tricks up my sleeve. Unlike the greater, broader world beyond my kitchen that apparently harbors a few individuals contemptuous of living gluten-free. This was a tough week to be a celiac. Assaults ranged from the merely mean-spirited to the stunningly ill informed. There was the alleged chef in Colorado (I say alleged, because it turns out this nudnik may have actually been a waiter) ridiculing gluten-free diners (the term he favored was "idiots") and crowing on Facebook that he passes off regular pasta as gluten-free (join the lively discussion here). There was the Dr. Oz show calling gluten-free a "fad diet", asking is it "just a myth?" (in full disclosure, I believe he meant as a weight loss tool, as a certain gluten-free celebrity has been claiming in her g-free book
Strap on your helmets, Campers. There's not a lot of love out there.
I know this. You know this. Some of you have even shared stories about not only eye-rolling waiters and could-care-less food preparers, but family members sneaking gluten into what they feed you, just to "see what happens". Just to test you.
Let me repeat that.
Family. Feeding you gluten. On purpose.
No wonder strangers feel they can openly spout contempt. If we are not respected within the bosom of our own clan, our flesh and blood, how can we expect random strangers to care?
The truth is, they don't.
Until their child gets anemic for no apparent reason. Or their young wife breaks a hip. Or their mother shrinks to skin and bones before their very eyes. Then it becomes interesting. Then the mystery becomes worthy of their attention. And they start asking questions. What is that disease called, you know the one where you can't eat bread?
Celiac disease is sadly under diagnosed. Millions have it and don't know it. And that translates to an epidemic of silent suffering- a lot of mysterious malnourishment, anemia, and osteoporosis. A lot of migraines, depression, infertility, and blistery skin rashes in unmentionable locations. A lot of bloating and Pepto Bismol chugging. But hey.
We know you don't want to hear about it.
So forgive us, please.
Forgive us for living with a autoimmune disease whose only cure is a gluten-free diet. Forgive us for focusing so much on food- our only medicine. Our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our daily bread. Forgive us for asking questions in restaurants. Forgive us for feeling awkward at social events where food is ubiquitous, and family parties, where your disbelief and denial can make us sick for three days.
Forgive us for getting excited when a new recipe works, and our daughter can eat a chocolate chip cookie that isn't going to make her ill. Forgive us for sending our son to school with gluten-free vegan cupcakes for the class. Forgive us for wanting our children to feel like they belong and contribute.
Forgive us our passion for gluten-free food that fills our bellies and lightens our souls. Just a little.
Because to those of us who must live gluten-free- every day of our life- food is no small thing.
Food is precious.
|Vegan muffin goodness starts with toasted coconut and gluten-free flours.
Gluten-Free Pineapple Coconut Muffin RecipeRecipe posted April 2011 by Karina Allrich.
These vegan muffins rose like champs into golden domes of tropical bliss. Toasting the coconut gives these babies a lovely toasted coconut flavor. I used pineapple juice and coconut milk for the liquid.
1 cup of sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup potato starch (not potato flour!)
1 cup sorghum flour (aka jowar flour)
1/4 cup organic coconut flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup coconut milk (or vanilla rice milk)
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
1/2 cup diced pineapple, packed
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
First, toast the coconut. Spread the coconut rather thinly on a baking sheet and toast the coconut in a pre-heated oven for roughly 6 to 10 minutes, until slightly golden brown. Make sure to stir every couple of minutes to keep the coconut from over-browning. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the starches, flours, sugar, and dry ingredients.
Add in the oil, juice, coconut milk, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. The batter will be thick and smooth, a bit sticky, but not too wet.
Add in the pineapple, and the toasted coconut. Stir to combine.
Spoon the batter into twelve lined muffin cups. Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes until domed and golden, and firm to the touch.
Cool the pan on a wire rack for a few minutes, then pop the muffins out of the pan (to keep them from getting soggy bottoms).
Fabulous warm.
Wrap leftover muffins in foil, bag, and freeze for optimum taste and texture.

Thank you very much for the video. These animations showing, for example, the tornados and the position of players, and the zooms showing debuffs, like feedback, are very helpful.

Ali , Plzz can u say me what is the name of your Rotation helper , is not in your "UI PAGE"
THAnks , ILOVEU
Just a different way to tackle the phase 3 clouds.
You can start from the top since there is a physical limit to how far up you can go, so everyone hitting that "wall" will be at the same exact lvl for the first cloud. In Aliena's video due to people being a little spread vertically at the bottom for the first cloud it spawned somewhat higher from where it should ideally be.
Rest is same but in the opposite direction - move down from the cloud, everyone gets at the same lvl just below it , rinse and repeat.
Just to show what it looks like(vent included so possibly rated M for mature)
PS: joacotdios if by rotation helper you mean the icon's for spells that light up above coolline when they are ready I'm pretty sure it's tellmewhen or power auras(you can setup both that way for it).

After clearing this on 25man tonight, we found it FAR easier in Phase 3 to have everyone stack together, the chain lightning is extremely insignifigant. Just make sure the lightning rod gets out ASAP.

This is the biggest RNG fest I've ever seen. Just do p1 properly, hope add spawns arent messed up with tornados then he keels over.
Can u Ice Block the "acid rain"?
I wanted to share a positioning strategy that was working really well for us for phase one.
The biggest element to this is that we sent our tank (pally) and healer (disc priest) away from the raid.
12 O'Clock : Tank and Tank Healer
3 O'Clock : Two DPS
4.5 : DPS and Healer
6 : DPS and Healer
7.5: Two DPS
These clock-positions are approximate, we used the circles between the spades on the floor (6 being where you land on the platform).
There were a couple of advantages that this gave us.
First, it allowed some overlap on the raid healing, so there was a chance when one of them was busy the other could heal.
The tornadoes were easier to deal with as they frequently started out (almost exclusively) on the edge of the DPS group and headed to the tank, which gave a lot of time for everyone to react to the tornadoes and to get into positon for the knockback.
The big think you have to be careful about is the balance between spreading out for the chain lightning and staying in healer range. We found that the arc that we allowed each group of 2 allowed the healers to heal the adjacent arcs and if everyone was near their positions, not chain the lightning.
Let me know if you have any questions or if anyone has better drawing skills and wants to help my diagram this out.
P3 does not have a soft enrage, the clouds disappear shortly, if you go top->bottom, you can just go straight up to the top on the 4th cloud while only recieving 10,000 nature damage. As long as you have 4-5 people(2 healers at least, 1 self sufficient class) then they can solo the phase in 10 minutes.
Having an issue with P3 in that the clouds can't be seen only the lightning that spawns and by then it's too late, we're unsure when to move and half the raid dies. Not sure if its a bug or something in the graphical settings we need to change (I have everything on Ultra except shadows, doesn't seem to help. Projected textures are on). Anyone know, or had a similar experience?
Pyrite, try turning off Emphasize my own spell Effects option in the Interface/Display menu. This used to fix problems with some animations on the Halion fight back when 4.0.1 came out, so this could be it for this as well. I have it off since then anyway and never had any problems with stuff like this.
Razzoc of Kill Loot Repeat , Sylvanas EU
Trying to find a decent strategy for killing the stormlings without losing the debuff. We've tried a few ways, but all seem to be dropping it at 3-4 stacks, once we had to 6 but it dropped as well. What we've tried so far (10 man, btw) -
Prot Warrior
Feral Druid (usually tank, but DPS here, me)
Ass. Rogue
Enh. Shaman
Surv. Hunter
Fire Mage
Shadow Priest
Holy Priest
Holy Paladin
Resto Shaman
The main problem we're having is the RNG of I guess procs and crits with how fast they die. We tried a variety of ways and timings to get it down, but couldn't solve the problem of when we switch sometimes it dies in 3 seconds sometimes in 6, leaving us less time to kill the next. We'd start on the first one once the second spawned and take it a bit slow there, as we were aiming to beat the debuff by 2 seconds each time. Our most successful strategy was when the debuff on the boss would get to 8 seconds everyone would swap to the add, but we eventually ran out as we were killing them fast enough that the next wasn't spawning quickly and giving us enough time to burn before the debuff fell off.
So the only other way I could think of would be once the second spawn pops, we put just the hunter on the add, and then once the debuff hits 5 seconds left on the boss the rest of the raid immediately swaps (where it should be at about 20%, I'd think) and blows it up then gets back on boss. How are you guys doing it?
We start killing them on the 3.5th one and i bring all down to a manageable amount of hp due to cleave/rend/thunderclap/shockwave spam by myself while tanking al'akir until one assigned dps starts to kill them one by one (a second helps after the fourth or fifth one depending on the required movement during the tornados). This way they won't burn the camp, won't burn the melee and my blood craze proccs all the time.
For everyone there is an issue where the clouds despawn if you start from the top and work your way down. After 2 clouds you can fly all the way back up and the top one has despawned. Well me and pred are off to kill Cho'gall and Nefarian tonight
Apologies if it's already been covered, but are people finding it easier (on 25 man) to have one tank on boss, another one handling stormlings, and a designated set of dps (im guessing ranged to avoid the added stormling aoe damage) to kill them in the timely fashion to apply the debuff? Seems like you'd have less running around and more time to dps what you need to dps that way. Thoughts?
having 2 tanks on 25 is always nice in case the main tank gets hit by a tornado and will die in 5 seconds from electrocute if not taunted off. Also the adds do a pulsing aoe at 5 yards so its good to gather them away from the stacking raid.
I don't get how people think P1 is the hard part, p2 is some intense healing (Me beeing healer) i just don't get it really. How many stacks of acid rain do you guys have just before you enter p3

Celebrate a brand new home with housewarming gifts & ideas from RedEnvelope! We offer an exclusive selection of traditional housewarming gifts, along with unique choices that can't be found elsewhere. Shop housewarming flowers & potted plants, grilling gifts, and presents for home decor & home and garden
. We offer a variety of gifts to suit any budget; find bestsellers under $50, and extravagant gifts worthy of the biggest and most expensive new house. Provide something special with a selection from our gifts for family that will create a warm welcome.
Traditional housewarming gifts each have significance for a new home. Candles are gifted to bless a home with light and warmth, while brooms sweep away evil and negativity. Honey is said to stand for the sweetness of life, and wine wishes residents a home filled with joy and abundance. A Russian tale says that bread and salt are the first housewarming gifts; the bread represents good health, and the salt, longevity. You can incorporate these ideas into clever housewarming gifts, like an elegant wine decanter or decorative eco pillows.
Wine accessories, leather cigar cases & bar gifts
all work well as housewarming presents. The home is a place to relax and indulge; these items encourage new residents to put their feet up and enjoy their surroundings. Tea gift sets, fancy wine stoppers, customized cigar boxes, coffee gifts and modern cocktail glasses will all delight recipients. Present them along with a bottle of wine or whiskey, or perhaps some of his favorite cigars. New renters or owners can settle in stylishly with these thoughtful and unique housewarming gifts. Plus, they might invite you to join them as they enjoy their guilty pleasures!
Gifts of food are also welcome housewarming presents for new residents. They're probably living off takeout until everything is unpacked, so why not treat them to a home-cooked meal? A customized ceramic cookware set or serving platter is the perfect accompaniment to a gift of dinner and dessert. If you're not much of a cook, you can select from food gift baskets instead. Hand-dipped strawberries, mixed nuts, and delicious chocolates mingle within our gourmet gift baskets!
Grilling gifts, like customized branding irons and aprons, are another great choice for new homes with room for a barbeque out back.
Housewarming flowers & potted plants make lovely home décor & home and garden gifts. Select a bright bouquet or lucky bamboo plant to adorn their new dining room table. Unique gardening gifts, such as herb growing kits, mosaic stepping stones, and recycled glass hummingbird feeders, all work well for new homes with front and back yards. Beautiful vases can be displayed year round and updated seasonally; don't forget that many of our bouquets arrive with display vases included. Seed kits and aromatherapy garden kits can be used indoors or out, so they work equally well for apartment dwellers.
If you're seeking housewarming gifts ideas for anyone who likes to entertain, look no further. RedEnvelope offers creative gift choices like fun drink coasters, wall signs, and appetizer serving sets. If their new home has a bar, shop our selection of personalized beer mugs, wine glasses and other one of a kind bar decor. Tabletop Conversation Starters break the ice and encourage discussion, so they're great for housewarming parties and casual get-togethers. You can also give housewarming gifts of home décor, like picture frames and candelabras. These can be arranged at the host's discretion, and it gives people something to comment on during a party.
RedEnvelope has the best housewarming gifts, no matter whom you're shopping for. Newlyweds, dorm dwellers, and recent retirees will all appreciate the thought you put into their housewarming presents. Many items can be customized with the new home address or monogrammed initials for a unique gift that is tailored to the new home. Friends and family will think of you fondly each time they see your gift displayed in their home or garden!

Robes of the Bloody Field. It's a quest reward from Souther Barrens quests. By a quick glance it looks like there's an Alliance version of the quest too, so you should be able to snatch the robe no matter what your faction is!

I need a 1H mace and also a staff that matches my dagger as close as possible cant find anything.
Apostle of Argus from Archimonde, and as for a mace, you could try Mithrios, Andoros, Misery's End (not the heroic version!), or Guiding Star. Alternatively, you could go for the classic Staff of Prehistoria look with the new Key to the Planes from inscription.

As far as I can tell, it's the Netherweave set, with a black shirt (Stylish Black Shirt?), Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal/Black Mageweave Shoulders and some engineering goggles that I can't quite recognise.
What set is that? Looks amazing

Here are some of my priest's very unpriestly looking transmogs.
This one's pretty common, except for the cloak:
This one has a bit of a Kirin Tor mage feel to it, but I still like it:

Madorable, I love all 3 of your sets - I change hair colour to match sets too
Sne, I love that set - have something similar on my priest (same robe and shoulder combo - they look made for each other) - off hand doesn't quite look right, to me, but the rest is lovely.

The Medieval Feminist Index covers journal articles, bookreviews, and essays in books about women, sexuality, and gender during the Middle Ages. The time period covered is 450 C.E. to 1500 C.E. with Russia extending to 1613. The geographic area is Europe, North Africa, and theMiddle East as well as areas in which Europeans traveled. To use the subject browse the list of subjects or broad topics.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Don't let your overactive bladder dictate your schedule - take control with the Flotrol Natural Bladder Control and Support supplement. Promoting bladder health and your quality of life with Flotrol Bladder Control Formula. Bladder and urinary tract health can have emotional, psychological and social effects. Take steps now to maintain bladder and urinary tract health with Flotrol for Men and Women.
A normal bladder has a capacity of 400 to 500 milliliters. During normal urination, ring like bands of muscles known as sphincters relax or contract to either stop or start the flow of urine. During urination, the bladder walls contract or relax as well. It is important to keep these muscles toned and strong as we age for optimal urinary and bladder health.
The Flotrol Bladder Control Formula can help strengthen these muscles while also having a unique calming effect on the bladder. It is a combination of soy germ extract and lipid-free pumpkin seed extract. Soy is considered to be beneficial for maintaining a healthy bladder. The use of pumpkin seed dates back to 16th century when it was used for urinary tract health.
In a clinical study, subjects were given a tablet that contained a combination of pumpkin seed and soybean germ extracts over a period of several weeks. Measurements were taken for frequency of urination during the day and night, any emergency episodes and the degree of satisfaction. Marked improvement in urinary tract health and quality of life was shown after the first week with further improvement after the second week and, compared with the pretrial observational period, continued to improve throughout week six.

Tax Time And The IRS Is On Our Minds
Have you checked out the IRS Tax Map this year? If not, what better way to spend April 15 (aside from actually filing those returns, of course).
The IRS Tax Map, as explained here, actually began as a project in 2002, as a prototype to address the business need for improved access to tax law technical information by the agency's call center workers. These days, Tax Map is available to taxpayers to offer them topic-oriented access to the IRS's diverse information products, as well. It aims at delivering semantic integration via the Topic Maps international standard (ISO/IEC 13250), grouping information about subjects, including those referred to by diverse names, in a single place.
It was created for the IRS by Infoloom in cooperation with Plexus Scientific and Coolheads Consulting. Infoloom explains on its web site that it lets customers control what is returned by search queries via a topic map approach that lets them extract from existing content information on the topics they need to represent, without having to build a taxonomy of terms, and add specific knowledge to that information as part of the extraction process.

If you're trying to weather the lousy economy by being fiscally responsible and not splurging on crap that you absolutely do not need, please stop reading now. Because if you like movies, cars, and movie-cars especially, the wall candy offered by MovieCarPosters.com will have you reaching for your wallet before you're halfway through the photo gallery.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for the post. Just to clarify, only a few invites have been sent out.
We will be extending a limited number of invites to Team Titleist members for the different events. We'll do our best to include as many people as possible but we won't be able to invite everyone.
As always, the more you participate and the more engaged you are with Team Titleist, from posting in the discussions and adding blog comments, the more likely you potentially open the doors to these Team Titleist opportunities.
And remember, to complete your profile on Team Titleist to ensure your name gets into the pool of potential invites.
Hope this helps clarify.
Here's hoping you have one in Chicago!
I am very excited to be included in the San Diego event! See everyone there in December...
Ok, so who is planning on going to the TT Event in San Diego in December? It would be nice to know in advance... i have already purchased my plane ticket...cant wait!
San Diego!!! Bam!!!!!!
Received my invite yesterday. Headed to SD on 12/5. Hopefully we can put together an additional round at Torrey. It's so close it would be a sin to pass up the op.
Have all of the invites been sent out? Are only members residing in the SD area being invited or is it being extended to all members regardless of location?
Good Luck to all of our members. Maybe this will spur on some more meaningful posts.
I have been running to the Mail Box for weeks!!!
Hoping to get an Invite to the TEXAS Event!!!
Let's Do This!!!!!!!
San Deigo...Here we come!!!
Don't forget North Carolina. We might be rednecks, but we have nice courses...
Cool to hear that the SD invites are in the mail. Hopefully my Willy Wonka Golden Ticket will be in the mailbox today.
So what happens to the local invitees if the event in their city is already booked up with out of staters? I live 15 minutes from the SD venue and if I manage to get an invite and it's already booked, I don't foresee myself getting to the TX or FL event. Just the way it goes? Any plans to make sure invitees that live in close proximity to one of the events can play in their hometown?
It's irrelevant at this point, but it could happen I suppose.
Agreed Tim, only seems fair that those who participate should go.. Shades of the FJAI, gotta put in the work!
