PhotoKit-EL gives you all the wonders of a darkroom without the chemicals, letting you achieve the same effects on digital images that you once could only do in a darkroom.
The PhotoKit-EL toolkit offers accurate digital replications of traditional darkroom effects such as tone adjustment, color balance adjustment, conversion to grayscale, sharpening to improve detail and graduated tone adjustments to improve specific areas in an image.
PhotoKit-EL gives you all the wonders of a darkroom without the chemicals, letting you achieve the same effects on digital images that you once could only do in a darkroom.
The PhotoKit-EL toolkit offers accurate digital replications of traditional darkroom effects such as tone adjustment, color balance adjustment, and conversion to grayscale. It also offers effects that are difficult or even impossible to achieve in a traditional darkroom, such as sharpening to improve detail and graduated tone adjustments to improve specific areas in an image.
PhotoKit-EL is a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 that allows Elements to be driven automatically - it's like having an expert Elements user at your beck and call.
PhotoKit-EL's image enhancements and adjustments are easy to use. Choose PhotoKit-EL from the File menu's Automate Tools sub-menu, then a simple dialog lets you see the PhotoKit-EL tool sets from which you can easily select the desired image effect and let PhotoKit-EL do the work.
All PhotoKit-EL Effects creates a new layer labeled with the name of the effect, leaving the original underlying image untouched, so it's always safe to experiment. PhotoKit-EL never, ever, changes the underlying image data. By far the easiest way to learn what PhotoKit-EL effects do is to try them - they can't do any harm.

Love the rug! Now I'm going to buy the 8x10 for my living roomRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This rug, rather then having an ivory color (to me would be an off white) as described seems to have more of an appearance where it looks like it's dirty. It also continues to shed tiny fibers that frequent vacuuming hasn't solved.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
soft, with great colors. Perfect runner!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Amana 3.8 cu. ft. High Efficiency Washer With Stainless Steel Wash Basket #NTW4750BQ
Product Review
About GHRI RatingsX
Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Amana 3.8 cu. ft. High Efficiency Washer With Stainless Steel Wash Basket #NTW4750BQ was featured in our magazine as our Total Steal pick because of its good performance and low price tag. Its a high-efficiency washer that earned very good cleaning scores in both the normal and quick cycle evaluations in our test. Though it lacks some of the advanced features that other high-efficiency washers offer, this would be a good option for buyers looking for high-efficiency performance on a budget.
Notable Features: Clean washer cycle; wash temperature variations
Estimated Yearly Electricity Use: 135 kWh
Manufacturers Warranty: 1 year parts and labor
About Our Testing: We evaluated eight front-loading washers, four top-loading washers with an agitator, and eight top-loading washers without an agitator. We assessed for gentleness on the normal, quick, and delicate cycles; cleaning performance; water retention; cycle time; electricity usage; water usage; capacity; and ease of use.

Now a days the front lacing on corsets has become increasing more popular and in demand for many good reasons. They are comfortable, great to under or over clothes, easy to close, you can wear them inside or for casual outdoor wear. The good thing about wearing corsets is that they help you maintain good posture. I used to wear one for many years and was very much pleased with how it used to help me. Since I stopped wearing it feels like I end up slouching more.
In the past it was believed that wearing corsets for a long period of time was harmful which simply wasn't true. It is recommended than anyone over 16 should wear them as your body has grown into the changes.
There is so much art associated with corsets. They are a huge demand in the gothic world, as they are very pleasing to look at on both women and men. They come in many different shapes and forms. Such as a light cinch to very tight giving you an hourglass shape. Modern style include underbust, overbust and can be purchased at quality corset stores such as secret corset and stella corset.
For those not familiar with corsets and new wearers, now a days many corsets are made of plastic boning which don't affect the figure very much. Genuine corsets are usually made of steel these corsets fit snug against your body giving you the tightness you expect. With the steel it makes them heavy giving you what you seek.
Buying a corset about 2 inches smaller should suffice as you don't want to go too small having the corset not close. Bigger women can work corsets really well as you can fit into a smaller corset for a slimmer look.
Corsets come in many different shapes and styles, such as overbust and underbust. The difference being that the overbust reaches from the hip to your underarm and the underbust goes from your hips to under your breasts. You can also buy cinchers which may be worn under clothes for a slimmer tighter finish.
Tightlacing is something some people liked to use as waist training. It is a practice where many women and sometimes men use to train their bodies as a way to modify their posture and waist shaping it into what you seek.
The one you should make sure when buying or planning on wearing a very tight corset is to make sure you can still move about and do the small things such being able to put on your shoes. You wouldn't want corset wearing to get in your way as the defeats the purpose of enjoying your new ensemble. I was able to find and purchase a few great corsets which were comfortable yet gave me that tightness I was seeking from a great store called www.secret corset.com. The corsets are absolutely lovely and as pictured.
The art of corsetry isn't complicated especially when you avoid the things that would ruin your joy of having one on. Avoid spilling drinks especially if your corset is made of velvet. With Silk or satin corsets I would suggest making sure to stay away from jewelry that can get lodged into your corset.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ksbh01 from Fun colors and comfy I got these for a nice everyday sock when I didn't want something too warm. They're really very pretty and super super smooth. They are also quite thin, so I'll have to see how they wear over time, I've only worn them a few times so far.

Building Vancouver Convention Centre West (LCCW) involved integrating a 22-acre site to create a fluid transition between the urban fabric, pedestrian paths and the harbor. The main feature of the project is a multi-level 6-acre living roof that blurs the boundary between landscape and architecture. Planted with approximately 400,000 native plants and grasses and inhabited by 240,000 bees, the green roof also helps mediate exterior temperatures, and infiltrate stormwater. An onsite wastewater treatment plant plus low flow fixtures and greywater irrigation has reduced the convention centre's potable water usage by 73%.
Daylighting, radiant floor heating, natural ventilation and high performance energy systems reduce overall electricity demand. The convention centre also includes an underwater habitat and artificial reef as part of the building's foundation to create a habitat for barnacles, mussels, seaweed, starfish, crabs and various marine species. New pedestrian paths and public plazas were also created to help integrate the convention center more fully into the urban context.
"It is an honor to be recognized at the national level by what many consider to be the top award program for sustainable design excellence," notes LMN Design Partner Mark Reddington, FAIA. "The Vancouver community's commitment to sustainability allowed us to develop a rich and diverse integration of the building program, natural ecology, local culture and urban context, and weave them together into a unified vision of sustainability."

Exhibition Interiors of Modernisme: Gaspar Homar and Joan Busquets at the MNAC in Barcelona – until 31 December 2013
Organised by Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
The search for beauty, utility and comfort and a certain element of exhibitionistic luxury are essentials of Modernism, as found in the interiors of bourgeois housing. Together with architects, carpenter-decorators became a fashionable profession, receiving commissions from the bourgeois and concerning themselves with the furniture design and decoration of the houses; a reflection of the tastes of the time and the new way of living.
Gaspar Homar and Joan Busquets are two outstanding examples of this profession. The Museu Nacional d´Art de Catalunya holds a notable range their work, both projects and furniture.

Art Nouveau architecture will also be evoked by means of a 3D projection.

Call for papers Art nouveau revisited: trends and peculiarities in Brussels – from 13 to 14 February 2014
As part of the European Partage Plus project, on the 13th and 14th February 2014 KIK-IRPA will hold a symposium dedicated to the study of Art Nouveau. It will be the 15th art history seminar, an initiative of the Documentation department of KIK-IRPA:
Art nouveau revisited: trends and peculiarities
Emphasis will be laid on the different coexisting trends and peculiarities of art nouveau, both in Belgium and abroad. Freed from the yoke of historicism, artists and craftsmen drew their inspiration from highly diverse sources, revisiting local cultures and celebrating secular artisanal techniques (wrought iron, hammering, sgraffito, ceramics, stained glass…) and regional materials. The invention of this unique decorative vocabulary was enriched by the assimilation of organic forms inspired by nature, archetypes of industrial civilization as well as japonism.
The symposium will be a unique opportunity to present the variety of examples from our cultural heritage as well as to exchange point of views on the matter.
If you would like to give a presentation on this issue, please send following documents to email@example.com before the 20th of December : a short summary of maximum 15 lines, a provisional title, your CV and a list of publications. The presentations, which will last about thirty minutes each, will be given in French, Dutch or English.

Participation of the RANN at the international colloquium Symbolism and modern aesthetic in the Balkans in Paris – 8 and 9 November 2013
Scientific committee Catherine Méneux HiCSA, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Adriana Sotropa, Centre François-Georges Pariset, Université Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3
With the support of the Bulgarian Cultural Institute, of the Romanian Cultural Institute and the Cultural Center of Serbia
Very little present in the general histories of European art, the Balkans – considered here in their historical and cultural meaning and not only geographical – reflects to a white spot in the cartography of the European Symbolism. The use of this category in local art histories has never been the subject of comparative studies and was only rarely compared with the occidental situation.
This colloquium suggests tackling questions linked to the reception of Symbolism, to the use and the diffusion of similar terms or categories, related or adversary in the art critic and in historiography of this part of Europe.
Breda Mihelic, President of the Réseau Art Nouveau Network Association will present its members and its activites for this occasion.
Exhibition Henry van de Velde. Letters of architects at the KBR in Brussels – from 26 September to 30 November 2013
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Henry van de Velde's birth, the Bibliothèque royale de Belgique (Royal Library of Belgium), the Centrum Vlaamse architectuurarchieven (Flamish Center of architecture archives) and the Archives & Musée de la Littérature (Archives and Museum of Litterature) pay tribute to this great architect through an exhibition devoted to his correspondence.
The exhibition "Henry van de Velde. Letters of architects" let us enter into the intimacy of friendships built up by this great Belgian in this world of international architecture. It covers his "second Belgian period" and the last years of his life, spent in Switzerland, from 1926 to 1957.

The Candidates' in London; is FIDE selling its World Championship cycle?
This week there were rumours about the next Candidates Tournament being held in London, as a result of a tweet by the assistant of the FIDE President. These rumours seem to have been confirmed now by FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. In their own report on the recent Presidential Board meeting, FIDE only mentions that a decision on the bids should be made before February 29th. What they don't mention is their negotiations on a possible sale of marketing rights for the whole World Championship cycle, including the Grand Prix Series, the World Cup, the Candidates Tournament and the World Championship match, to a Russian-based business man...
Rumour mill
The FIDE rumour mill is working overtime as the organisation is in another muddle over where to stage the Candidates Matches.
This is how Malcolm Pein started his chess column Wednesday, to be found here at TWIC. As you probably know, Pein is the organizer of the annual London Chess Classic, and tried in vain last year to work together with FIDE in getting the 2012 World Championship to London.
The rumour Pein is talking about concerns the new FIDE Candidates Tournament, which should be taking place some time this year. As you might remember, it was decided that this time it will be an 8-player, double round robin. The winner will be the challenger for the winner of the Anand-Gelfand World Championship match, or in other words: the new opponent for the 2012 World Champion.
We already mentioned recently that the chess calendar is completely out of balance, with a huge number of important events scheduled for the second half of 2012. In fact there's a lot of shuffling going on in the background, as both FIDE and tournament organizers are trying to squeeze in their events. From a number of tweets by certain key figures we can learn a bit more.
Have a look at the following tweet, sent on February 7th by Berik Balgabaev, the Executive Assistant of FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov:
Ilya, why give false info? If you hadn't rushed away from the Presidential Board meeting you'd have learned the dates and location of the Candidates Tournament: London, 23/10-13/11.
The tweet is directed at Ilya Levitov, President of the Russian Chess Federation and FIDE Vice President. When we read this, we decided to fire an email at Mr Balgabaev. Unfortunately, he couldn't provide details:
Dear Peter,
Wait for the official announcement within a few days.
Best regards,
Meanwhile, it seems that FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has confirmed everything, but not by publishing an 'official announcement'. See the end of this report.
Candidates in London?
'Wow, London, that would be awesome' is what many people probably thought, when they read this tweet. And... surely Malcolm Pein is involved, isn't he?
Well, no. Pein was one of the people who read the tweet, and in fact tweeted himself soon after:
Well, that couldn't be stated more clearly. In the column mentioned above, Pein added that he was in fact approached to do it:
Your correspondent received an approach to run the event instead of the London Chess Classic at the end of this year, but the idea did not appeal.
Presidential Board meeting
So where did 'London' come from, then? Well, let's first rewind a bit. We already knew about the existence of bids from Azerbaijan and Bulgaria, and apparently there is a third, unknown party from London involved as well. This was also mentioned in ECU newsletter 62, sent to journalists and others on Tuesday, February 7th. It includes this sentence about the recent 1st quarter FIDE Presidential Board meeting in Al Ain, UAE:
During the Presidential Board were presented the three candidatures of Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and United Kingdom for hosting of the 2012 FIDE Candidates Tournament.
Is FIDE selling its marketing rights?
So, London. Who's behind that bid? Well, we can learn more from an article on the Russian Chess Federation's website. It expresses the feelings of the aforementioned Ilya Levitov, who was present during the recent FIDE Presidential Board meeting and reveals something very interesting that wasn't mentioned by FIDE itself: their negotiations on a possible sale of marketing rights for the whole World Championship cycle, including the Grand Prix Series, the World Cup, the Candidates Tournament and the World Championship match, to a company called Agon. Here's our translation of Levitov's remarks (we added paragraph markers):
At the Meeting we also discussed the proposal from the company "Agon" to buy the rights to the whole cycle right to redeem the whole cycle - holding the Grand Prix, the World Cup, the Candidates Tournament and the World Championship match. They guarantee prize funds and promise to take on responsibility for organising everything.
"Agon" was founded in January of this year in some offshore centre. It has nothing to do with chess, or with sport in general. It was founded by Andrew Paulson, one of the founders of the company "Afisha". The agreement itelf is very profitable for FIDE, but the complete lack of experience in organizing chess competitions raises concerns.
Mr. Paulson was present at the Presidential Board. His presentation was disappointing. No specifics, just general words about lifting chess to a new level. He seems ready to invest a huge amount of money in chess. His motivation for these investments remains unknown, as you can't accuse him of a love of chess.
The Presidential Board decided to sign an agreement with him if it turns out that it doesn't conflict with the existing agreement with CNC (which is, in general, exactly the same). For now the Candidates Tournament is in limbo. There are two bids - from Azerbaijan and Bulgaria - and the "virtual" one from "Agon", if an agreement is reached with FIDE.
In any case, after signing the contract all the tournament rights go to the company "Agon," which will determine the time and place. Of course, the whole situation is a concern. I believe that Mr. Paulson is obliged as soon as possible to clarify his ideas and plans to the general chess public.
The whole story, and the fact that FIDE doesn't even mention Mr Paulson or his company Agon in their report, makes a very poor impression. It's very similar to the radio silence we've had in the past few years around the CNC project, which, by the way, has a new website that's suddenly being updated regularly. Another sign that FIDE actually intends to breathe new live into it?
Andrew Paulson
Naturally we googled 'Andrew Paulson'. He's a 53-year-old, successful American entrepreneur working in Russia. He founded several magazines, such as Afisha, an entertainment and listings magazine which became the cultural touchstone of Moscow and St. Petersburg, Bolshoi Gorod, a free bi-weekly lifestyle magazine and Afisha MIR, a monthly glossy travel and lifestyle magazine. He also co-founded the online media company SUP which now consists of huge websites such as LiveJournal, Championat and Gazeta. According to Businessweek, Paulson "has a knack for spinning chance encounters with the rich and famous into business opportunities". But indeed, we haven't found any link to the chess world thus far.
We can only express our deepest concern about the Agon/CNC story, and we have to conclude with an ominous 'to be continued'. For now, it's safe to assume that FIDE has at least decided one thing about the Candidates: that they want to organize it in October/November this year. Why? Because the dates of the Tal Memorial were suddenly changed.
Tal Memorial: already in June
On Wednesday, the following could be read on the website of the Russian Chess Federation:
This year the tournament will be held from 7 to 19 June. The Tal Memorial 2012 will be the seventh edition. Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian and Vladimir Kramnik have already confirmed their participation. The names of the other participants and the venue of the tournament will be announced later.
(On a side note, 'have already confirmed' should be taken with a grain of salt. At the moment these players have merely replied to Levitov that for them, these new dates would be fine, but no contracts have been signed yet.)
This was obviously related to FIDE's plans with the Candidates, as could be derived from these three tweets by Levitov on Thursday morning:
Here's the translation (please note that the tweets were written in reverse chronological order):
"The Candidates could have been held in March 2012, when the schedule's absolutely empty! But no..." "It's incomprehensible that they don't respect the organisers of the tournaments in Russia and China, where two major tournaments are traditionally held on these dates". "This year the Tal Memorial was deprived of its usual dates. The tournament will take place from 7-19 June. The Candidates Matches [sic] have been designated for October-November..."
That more or less sums it up. Levitov is annoyed, and rightly so. FIDE lacks a clear policy for its World Championship cycle, and in the meantime deals with businessmen like David Kaplan and now Andrew Paulson, without properly informing the rest of the chess world about it. Sigh.
Ilyumzhinov confirms London, invites Radjabov as wild card
Just before we pressed the 'publish button' for this report, we read an article by the usually quite reliable Russian journalist Yuri Vasiliev in Sport-Express. To Vasiliev, Ilyumzhinov apparently confirmed the whole thing: the next Candidates Tournament will be held in London from October 23 to November 13 and it will be organized by Andrew Paulson's company Agon. Vasiliev adds that FIDE indeed transfers all the rights to hold the next World Championship cycle for men. Moreover, the wild card goes to Teimour Radjabov, which completes the list of Candidates:
Magnus Carlsen (Norway), Levon Aronian (Armenia), Vladimir Kramnik, Peter Svidler and Alexander Grischuk (all Russia), Vassily Ivanchuk (Ukraine), Teimour Radjabov (Azerbaijan) and the loser of the match between Viswanathan Anand (India) and Boris Gelfand (Israel), which will be held in May of this year.

I put something on my blog about this a couple of days ago: see http://stevegiddinschessblog.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/london-candidates/ .
Despite today's "confirmation", I remain as sceptical as I was earlier.

Not saying that all is fine with FIDE, but this article is extremely negative. At the other extreme, it could read about like this: "FIDE found a new sponsor to organize the candidates event in a major western city (as many people want or prefer). Thereby they also avoid the problematic venues Azerbaijan (impossible for Aronian) and Bulgaria (not appealing for Kramnik)."
True, this London organizer doesn't yet have a chess connection - but experienced ones were contacted and not interested. What is the chess experience of the Stavanger organizers, other than having a Norwegian top GM? What was the chess experience of the Nanjing organizers before their first event? Reportedly, one of the organizers wondered why Steinitz wasn't invited ... .
Which leaves the chaotic information policy, in part sort of inherent to the Internet and Twitter age: just a few years ago, everyone would have waited for an official press release.

Hmmm, if one has to read very carefully to find out that "only these aspects" are criticized ... . It isn't just the end, but also giving lots of room to Levitov who may be understandably frustrated. However, at least his "The Candidates could have been held in March 2012" is just nonsense: one participant, the loser of the Anand-Gelfand match, isn't known yet!
There was the following situation: the two other bids were problematic. Aronian openly stated that he (still) cannot play in Azerbaijan, Kramnik may have acted behind the scenes against the Bulgarian bid - which I would fully understand. Then FIDE approached well-known London organizers who weren't interested (maybe because their earlier bid had failed?). Then another sponsor appeared, I can understand that FIDE didn't reveal details while negotiations were still underway. FIDE was criticized for not finding sponsors, now they are criticized (basically) for keeping things confidential until everything is finalized - and a bit longer while rumors were already circulating.
Paulson may be unknown, but his background in cultural and online media isn't the worst possible one for a chess organizer. And even if he doesn't love chess at all but has purely commercial interests, it could become a win-win situation for both sides? Why not give him the benefit of doubt?

I'm surprised about your lack of perspective here, Thomas.
Btw, there's a chess club in Stavanger, and Carlsen is a member of that chess club, and the Norwegian Chess Federation - and surely our (Norway's) seasoned IAs and IOs will take care of the technical organization of the event in Stavanger, and it's "only" a single (if it fails) privately organized chess tournament, not the World Championship of FIDE.
- Log in to post comments
I was a bit provocative but didn't want or mean to insult the Stavanger organizers. What I meant is that the sponsors - a real estate and a kitchen equipment company - don't have previous experience with organizing chess events, and don't have an obvious chess connection. Maybe there is a "hidden" one (some of the bosses are hobby chessplayers), maybe they just want to somehow benefit from Carlsen's popularity, both would be perfectly fine. I was just puzzled that that article is at least neutral, while another new sponsor is greeted with lots of skepticism.
BTW I hope and expect that the Stavanger event will also have non-Norwegian arbiters, to avoid potential or perceived bias if Carlsen is involved in a dispute. Tata Steel had a Czech and a Swedish arbiter (and maybe others whom I don't remember) - they would probably have stayed out of the decision process if there had been controversies around Navara or Tikkanen, respectively.

I think he probably meant March 2013, or at least that was how I was reading it until I read your comment! Kramnik had also suggested having the Candidates in early 2013, and Levitov would probably have discussed it with him.
- Log in to post comments
Yep, March 2013 might make sense, but then "2012" in his tweet is a very careless typo to say the least. But March 2013 might open up other cans of worms:
- FIDE would be criticized that the cycle takes too long. The rating spots probably won't "expire" (the edge of Carlsen, Aronian and Kramnik over everyone but Anand is unlikely to fade away), but the World Cup spots might be considered outdated.
- Some players may already have made certain plans for a candidates event this coming fall, such as hiring seconds.
- Log in to post comments
I got the same impression as about the tone of the article until I read Peter's response. Well in general ChessVibes has been critical of FIDE. But to a general public view (such as me) FIDE was worse before and they have improved significantly in the last 5 years. They are definitely trying albeit not taking principled steps.

Much ado about nothing. This event will never come off in this fashion. We are talking about FIDE, after all...
- Log in to post comments
In the last few years FIDE has been able to hold the wch cycle as per what they have said. Atleast nothing has been cancelled. This includes the womens cycle as well. All the grand prix's took place, the candiates, the world cup and the wch matches themselves. Nothing has fallen apart and so to atleast that much extent one can rely on FIDE to do what it takes to organize the cycle.

"In the last few years FIDE has been able to hold the wch cycle as per what they have said"
I'm sorry, but that's bollocks. The previous cycle was dramatically changed midway, when they abondoned the roles of both the FIDE Grand Prix 2008-2009 (was supposed to produce on candidate finalist) and the WCC 2009 (was supposed to produce the other candidate finalist). If need somewhere to start getting up to speed on reality, one possible starting point is here: http://chess.liverating.org/protest.html
By making this change now, they also violate the regulations of the *current* cycle, producing yet another tainted cycle, by (for reasons not explained and not part of any regulations) giving a "wild card" to Radjabov. The regulations never had any "wild card" - it had an organizer nominee, a 2700+ player that the organizer would select. If FIDE doesn't organize the Candidates, they can't select the organizer nominee WITHOUT changing the rules of the wc cycle. Like they did also in the previous cycle.
FIDE is utterly without directions when it comes to the World Championship of Chess, and the lack of predictability for the future has hardly ever been worse.
"one can rely on FIDE to do what it takes to organize the cycle"
No, one can rely on FIDE to do something unpredictable midway in any cycle, changing rules and disrespecting signed contracts with players and sponsors. That's what happened in the 2008-2012 cycle that culminates with the Anand - Gelfand match. Why is it so hard to keep track of reality?
- Log in to post comments
When I meant you can rely on FIDE, is that the wch cycle will not fall apart and get canceled. The inclusion of Radjabov cannot be argued with. If the organizer is happy with Radjabov being the 8th person, the FIDE nominee is as good as the organizers nominee. Whats the big fuzz about that. Bottom line was that the 2010 match was held, the candidates for 2012 were held and we have Gelfand as the challenger. Ok, the grand prix winner was to play world cup winner. That got changed and hence Carlsen dropped out. But previously Morozevich, Kramnik etc. dint want to participate in grand prix as they thought it was long winded. To accommodate that FIDE changed it to the 8 player format. But since it was a change mid way Carlsen dropped. So how many people can be satisfied. One of them was always going to be unhappy. Finally, fide made sure all the grand prix were held. lets give credit when it is due. there were many suspicions whether the grand prix will fall apart and not be held because it was fide. One can always criticize fide for several things, but hammering them for every little excuse is also not right.

"But previously Morozevich, Kramnik etc. dint want to participate in grand prix as they thought it was long winded. To accommodate that FIDE changed it to the 8 player format."
*sigh* Yes, *after* 21 other players had signed a contract for competing for 1 of 2 places in the candidates *final*. And *after* the first of 6 competitions had been played.
It's not like FIDE (read: the president and the presidential board) can change whatever they like, whenever they like, because "someone is unhappy". When Kramnik and Moro didn't want to play the WC Qualifier(s) because it was long-winded, then tough luck for them. They should've played the 2009 World cup or worked through proper channels to change the regulations of the *next* cycle.
The argument that "someone will be unhappy" simply doesn't apply - it's irrelevant that someone will be unhappy. What's relevant is that 1) *first* one makes a set of rules for a competition, 2) *then* one goes through with it according to the rules. If they turn out not to work so well or according to expectations, 3) one changes them the next time around.
Btw, who's the organizer of the candidates? So far I have the name of a sponsor, some guy with money. It will be interesting to see who will take on organizing the event in London, without being able to nominate e.g. Adams or some other player of their own choice. So far the only thing we know about "the buyer" here is that he supposedly has resources.

I am not saying that that changing the cycle mid way was correct. It was done due to the reason that some people were unhappy. Ok, so as you say then it should be changed next time around and not that cycle. But where I am coming from is that still they did manage to find the money and playing conditions for finishing the cycle. And this time around they have managed to find a sponsor for the candidates and have so far stuck to the format they told it will be. In spite of that, pointing the small difference between "Organizing nominee" and "FIDE nominee" as "changing" the rules is uncalled for. In the past, they did change it mid way. This time around they have not and have found (or trying to find) a sponsor. So it is a step in the right direction. Why should we still point at what they did in past and continue to malign any good measures taken at the present.

A lot of nonsense just to promote your little site and your meaningless "protest" against FIDE.

Generally I consider the chaos of the previous cycle unpleasant history, it's time to move on. I agree with you about Radjabov's spot, strange that the wildcard again goes to Azerbaijan. It may be a consolation prize that their bid wasn't honored (a spot for Topalov would have been even harder to justify, and IMO he already had more than enough privileges).
It would have been more logical to give the last spot to a runner-up of the qualifying process, either Karjakin (next on the relevant rating lists, even if he has now fallen a little bit behind) or Ponomariov (for the second consecutive time, one match short of qualifying via the World Cup).
But for me that's the only flaw in the recent turn of events, and a relatively minor one.

My concern is about the dates .. it is too close to the Bilbao masters (that ends Oct 13th 2012). Just 10 days after and there is this candidates. So I am not sure if the players (especially Carlsen, Aronian) who are already scheduled to play at Bilbao will agree to play the candidates just 10 days later.

"As a chess fan this is fantastic news. A candidate match in a neutral environment."
London is hardly neutral. There's a great deal of political animosity between Britain and Russia, and as we know from past experience (ex. Armenia and Azerbaijan), this can spill over to chess. On the other hand, maybe that's exactly what chess needs to make headlines.

Thatrs rubbish. Kramnik is a Russian but he has mentioned on more than one occasion that london chess classic is his favorite tournament.
- Log in to post comments
I agree this statement is quite obviously ridiculous. You can hardly compare England-Russia to Azerbijan-Armenia. Between Russian and England the diplomatic relations are frosty but this hardly spills over to the general populace to create an unpleasant atmosphere as it does in the afore-mentioned countries.

I am generally suspicious of these "entrepreneurs" who skyrocket out of nowhere to the top of huge imperiums. Very often they will also skyrocket back down eventually, usually in a cloud of scandal and corruption.
FIDE also has a track record of going into bed with shady figures & shady deals where a lot happens under the table. Win win for FIDE & their "sponsor", but a loss for chess when it all comes crashing down again.
Maybe it's all good this time, but enough reasons to keep a wary eye on these proceedings imo. (Not that the chess world will be able to do anything about it.)

In the short time he has been on the scene, I've come to have a grudging respect for Levitov. Of that horribly unprofessional bunch in FIDE, he seems the least unprofessional.
If Levitov doesn't like it, this thing probably smells.

I don´t understand this quotation (by Mr.Levitov) - however, match Anand - Gelfand is scheduled on May 2012. Candidates on March 2012 (sic!) - i.e. before the WC match?????

If he has bought the whole cycle does that mean the Presidential Board doesn't have the right to mess with the rules from now on? Hope.

Guys, it's actually worse than this! Reading Vasiliev's announcement, it says that Agon is receiving the rights to upcoming CYCLES (plural)!!
"Организатором выступает вновь созданная американским бизнесменом Эндрю Полсоном компания "Агон", которой ФИДЕ передает все права на проведение ближайших циклов розыгрыша первенства мира среди мужчин."
This is Artyom Tarasov all f*****g over again! Do these idiots not ever LEARN?!?!?

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The treasurer of a federal employees' association has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for embezzling more than $400,000 from the group.
Seventy-six-year-old Salvatore Petti of Ellicott City was also ordered to pay restitution at sentencing Wednesday in federal court in Baltimore.
Prosecutors say Petti, who was retired after 40 years of working for the Social Security Administration, was treasurer of that office's Employees Activities Association. Petti issued unauthorized checks to himself from the group's funds.

31 Days to Decluttered
Smart advice from pros and GH editors to help you finally get your house organized this year
Shelf Life: Even ardent book keepers can learn to declutter with these streamlining strategies
9. Rule of Three
Restrict non-book items to a maximum of three per shelf. Their sizes and shapes can vary, but relate the pieces by color or theme say, ceramic vases in shades of cream. Melissa Picheny
10. Lighten your Library
Be selective: You dont want to hang on to every tome youve ever read, just those that have had an impact on your life. Shelves still too crowded? Do a side-by-side comparison, asking yourself: If I could keep only one of these two volumes, which would it be? (Remember, you can keep many favorites on an e-reader.) The goal is to leave at least 10% of each shelf bare and book free. Justin Klonsky
11. Autofocus
For a cohesive look, display groups of photos in similar frames match the hues or the materials.
12. Toy Story
To encourage neatness, keep kids playthings in light-weight bins on a low shelf and point out to tykes how easy it is to tuck them away without any aid from adults. Olescia Hanson, Container Store spokesperson

Cataclysm Dungeon Guide: Grim Batol
For some reason, I got Grim Batol more than any other dungeon in the Cataclysm beta. I would guess it was a popular place to go for ilevel 333 blues before setting foot in heroics, and chronologically, it's also the last normal dungeon you're likely to encounter.
There's an interesting quirk to the trash in Grim Batol. After a short clear (I would estimate the dungeon's first three "real" pulls, excepting the trogg mobs you'll swat in the antechamber), you'll have the opportunity to free red drakes who have been trapped. The drakes will thank you with a flight over most of the instance, and you can rain fire down on the heads of all the non-boss mobs you see.
A good group that coordinates the bombing will weaken or even eliminate a number of mobs. A bad group that puts in a half-assed effort will find itself with a number of full-strength mob packs standing between it and good loot.
Don't be bad.

Match report
Access live.premierleague.com for details on the match as it happened and post-mortem on the fantastic Carlsberg Live Match Centre
For match photos, scroll to PHOTOSTREAM above left; for stats click on the stats tab. Manager reaction below; press conferences above.
Roberto Soldado ended his goal drought to help Tottenham Hotspur brush off any European fatigue and edge Cardiff City 1-0 on Sunday.
Having taken just 10 points from the nine league matches that have immediately followed UEFA Europa League ties this season, Spurs built on their 3-1 win over Dnipro on Thursday with a hard-fought victory at White Hart Lane.
The home side, who are fifth and chasing qualification for the UEFA Champions League, took the lead through Soldado after 28 minutes as the Spaniard found the net for the first time since 29 December.
Strike partner Emmanuel Adebayor selflessly opted to play the Spaniard in before Soldado took a touch and fired the ball past David Marshall with the outside of his right boot.
It proved to be the only goal of the game as 19th-placed Cardiff – without an away league win since September – saw their relegation fears heightened.
Aaron Lennon, one of two Spurs changes, was quick to make an impact, providing a cross after just a minute that Soldado was only able to divert wide.
Craig Bellamy, making his return from a three-match suspension, then whistled a free-kick over the crossbar before laying on an opportunity for Fabio, whose shot was well blocked by Michael Dawson.
Andros Townsend was next to threaten during an open first 15 minutes, forcing Marshall into action with a low, driven effort.
After seeing Dawson go close with a volley and a header from a corner, the hosts continued to dominate possession and were soon rewarded. Soldado showed his quality to latch on to Adebayor's pass, calmly control the ball and place it home to register his first goal of 2014.
Steven Caulker almost levelled against his former club, crashing a header against the crossbar from Bellamy's corner, and Declan John stung the palms of Hugo Lloris three minutes before the break to offer a reminder Cardiff were still in the contest.
Lennon almost weaved his way through the visiting backline five minutes into the second half and continued to cause problems, drawing a foul from John just outside the penalty area. Townsend tested Marshall with the resulting free-kick and the goalkeeper denied substitute Harry Kane late on, although it mattered little as Cardiff failed to find a leveller.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who visit bottom club Fulham on Saturday, remain three points off West Bromwich Albion in 17th, having played a match more than Pepe Mel's men.
For Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Tim Sherwood, the win represents an ideal tonic ahead of Barclays Premier League encounters with London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea later this month, as well as a Europa League tie against Benfica.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Tim Sherwood: "I was delighted for Robbie, he's a great character around the place. The boys love him and want him to do well.
"If I could have picked anyone to score that goal today it would have been him. He's a great lad, he's never a moment's problem, a true professional and he gets on with his training, whatever anyone asks him to do, he does it.
"He knows he's been in a sticky spell, but I always looked him in the eye and knew that he had the belief and that's important, for him to dig himself out of it. I'm just hoping that this is a platform for him to go on and kick on now."
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "I was pleased with the team effort. We looked like a team again – a proper team that played for each other.
"First half I thought we caused them massive problems on the counter-attack at times and I was very pleased with the performance in that respect. But, of course, you can talk all day long – we need to score goals. If you want to win games, you need to score goals, of course.
"That's what we practise every single day. Players practise it, now it's about that dedication and that need and urge to get on the end of things. You can't blame luck, but I think we're due some very soon."
"The players performed really well in that system and we got hold of the centre midfield as well.
We conceded a sloppy goal, a disappointing goal, but that wasn't because of our shape – we were caught on the break."
Manager: Tim Sherwood
