Aronian wins World Blitz Championship
Levon Aronian today won the 2010 World Blitz Championship in Moscow, Russia. The Armenian scored 24.5 points out of 38 games and finished half a point ahead of Teimour Radjabov from Azerbaijan. Third came Magnus Carlsen from Norway, who won the title in 2009. First video, audio clip Aronian and many photos.
The World Blitz Championship took place at the GUM department store on Red Square in Moscow, from 16 to 18 November. It was a 20-player, double round-robin tournament with 14 rounds on the first day, 14 on the second and 10 on the final day. The rate of play for all games was 3 minutes plus 2 seconds increment.
Since last year's winner Magnus Carlsen picked lot number 20 at the drawing of lots, and Hikaru Nakamura got number 1, the two big favorites already met in the very first round. The American grandmaster had never played in the World Blitz before, but is known to be very strong in quickplay and in fact defeated Carlsen in a tournament in Norway last year. However, this time it was Carlsen who won this psychologically important first game.
Carlsen finished on 10/14 on the first day, the same score as Levon Aronian. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov also had an excellent first day, and finished only half a point behind the two leaders. Hikaru Nakamura, a favourite to win the title for many, had a terrible start with three losses in the first three games (against Carlsen, Kramnik and Vachier-Lagrave). Eventually the American finished on a decent 7.5/14 to stay in the race.
On the second day, just before the end, Nakamura seemed to be on his way back with a convincing victory against Levon Aronian. Here's his summary of the game as an audio clip, followed by the game itself:
We have much more high-quality video material and we intend to publish more material at a later stage. In the mean time, besides the awesome video stream on the Russian Chess Federation's website (don't miss the hyperlinks on the right hand side) we refer to the channel of bumblebee1607 on YouTube - a friendly Russian we met in the playing hall. He was filming many of the games with a handheld camera and had some problems with the white balance, but at least you can follow some of the action already.
After the second day Levon Aronian was in sole lead with a score of 18.5/28, followed by Carlsen with 17 points and then Radjabov, Nepomniachtchi and Kramnik on 16 points. Aronian continued strongly on the third and last day, and at some point built up a margin of three points. Despite losing his last two games to Karjakin and Svidler, he still ended clear first, half a point ahead of Radjabov.
Here's an audio clip with Aronian after the tournament:
On a personal note, we found the atmosphere at the World Blitz quite thrilling. The round 'arenas' in which the boards are placed work quite nicely, as the spectators can stand literally around the board without getting too close. However, at the games of 'popular' players such as Carlsen or Aronian often there were just too many spectators, so that it was quite difficult to follow the games at all (let alone film them).
A good solution would be to project the games on a large screen along one of the walls, or with separate TV screens, but this wasn't the case. In the corridor one TV was showing the video stream that was also shown online - game fragments in excellent quality, but never more than one game at the same time.
And so, if you really wanted to follow a certain game, it was important to check the pairings and board numbers, and arrive early at the particular board. A number of spectators even stayed at board 1 (where Carlsen played many games in a row) even during the breaks, as they didn't want to give up their good spot...

About the Carlsen-Nakamura match: It seems that it was just a private match as it also happens between amateurs after tournaments or during club evenings - no prize money, no game scores recorded?
About Radjabov getting less invitations: I think there are two reasons:
- He lost some rating points (not much, but enough to drop out of the top 10)
- He is no longer clear #1 from Azerbaijan: Mamedyarov and Gashimov are close, sometimes ahead of him. Usually organizers invite only one of them.

You wrote this before, are you "nobody"? ,:) But I wouldn't call it (pure) short-term luck, it takes certain qualities to beat the tailenders as efficiently as Aronian did: create winning chances with both colors (while they might be happy with a draw), avoid overpressing and/or underestimating the opponent.
By definition, there is some "justice": For every loss against a direct competitor you need two or three wins against tailenders - as your competitors will also score 50% or more against such opposition.
In a way, Grachev and Savchenko decided the tournament: Aronian scored 3.5/4 against them, Radjabov 1.5/4, Carlsen 2/4, .... Karjakin 0.5/4 - so despite finishing 15th and 16th, they were dangerous opponents for everyone but "lucky"(?!) Aronian.

NO body points out Karjakin was 7/8 in mini-matches against the plus scores, and Aronian only won because he beat the bottom 6 by 11/12. This is why the whole thing is dominated by short-term luck.

I think Nakamura reminds his errors for too long.
In the lost game against Aronian he keeps shaking his head for almost a minute!
He should take a deep breath, forget it and play on.
That will help him avoiding losing streaks.

As someone mentioned above, Nakamura posted on twitter something about an informal blitz match between him and Carlsen after the closing ceremonies.
"Just when I thought I couldn't get enough chess, it looks like @MagnusCarlsen and I will be playing a blitz match tonight!"
Anybody know anything about it?

Sorry, but this time i found the reports of Chessvibes really too slow. Maybe you have spoiled us, but Chessvibes was one of the last chessblogs to publish updates. Normally you are one of the first.
I realy like CV video's in general, but think that you invest too mutch time in editing the stuff. Better to publish fast raw material instantly and then edit afterwards and republish.

After replaying Carlson's loss with white pieces against Nakamura I found myself surprised with the ridiculous Carlson's 1500 rating play on the opening, loosing pawn without any sort or compensation...I thought that a 2800 player was capable of playing automatically and super-fast that type of "French or Karo-Kan" type of closed-e5-advanced pawn structure, avoiding a collapse in the opening phase...

"November 20th, 2010 at 16:51
Kasparov and Karpov are just two most succesfull players of all time. No other player comes even close to the number of events they have won. Not even close."
That's exactly my point.
This is a perception created by their aura - a result of their off-the-board activities prolonging their tenure as 'wold champions'; much of the 1990s has been spent with both of them being the 'world champions' together!
Hence, it is hard to believe that Anand has won more chess events than Karpov, and yes, more chess events than Kasparov as well. Hard to believe but true.
As chess players, Kasparov and Karpov are legends and are among the strongest players in chess history. No less, but no more as well. Like their predecessors, and like their successors.
If games records are taken into account rather than events, all the world champions fare roughly the same but Kasparov is clearly ahead of the rest.

Interesting. I believe that Anand is a really underrated player (in was in the overwhelming shadow of Kasparov in his youth, and now he is to discret).
Where did you find your statistics?
Another point is the crucial-polemic point of "domination era". This applies well to Karpov who really dominated his time, gained victory in almost tournaments he participated in. No one could really stand against him (that really evident looking at how Korchnoi got crushed in his last WCC).
Only Kasparov did succeed in reaching Karpov level and overcoming it. He played less tournaments but won them. Then, when we look at his WCC (after Karpov), it is clear: he always crushed in opponents. No equal fight. Except against Karpov.
Thus, if we look at their legacy in terms of quality and not of quantity: Karpov and Kasparov really were above everybody else for decades, really monsters in their time like no-one before has ever been (except for Morphy, perhaps).

I don't believe it. Any strong reference to support your fantastic claim?
- Log in to post comments
"Anand has won more chess events than ... Kasparov"
This _might_ be true if we include Amber rapid and blindfold (where Kasparov never participated) and Mainz rapid events (did Kasparov ever participate?). But I guess classical time controls are still more relevant for a player's legacy, and Wikipedia is probably right: "Kasparov holds the record for most consecutive professional tournament victories, placing first or equal first in 15 individual tournaments from 1981 to 1990".
Anand is a great player, who was in the shadow of another great player for part of his career ... .

"Mainz rapid events (did Kasparov ever participate?" the answer is yes. Here's a look at the closing numbers since 1996:
Shirov 1996 Anand 2004
Anand 1997 Amand 2005
Anand 1998 Anand 2006
Kasparov 1999 Anand 2007
Anand 2000 Anand 2008

True Thomas. Chess events include all rapid events as well.
If we count only classical events, Anand is still not far behind Kasparov but ahead of Karpov.
If we take games played as the measure, and the scores for Anand and Karpov are virtually identical. Kasparov is of course ahead by a mile.
For folks who doubt the numbers, the statistics are there everywhere - you just have to go through the tournaments one by one by yourself and do the calculations.
- Log in to post comments
That is simply not true. I like Anand, but you are talking nonsense.
- Log in to post comments
Sense or nonsense is simply a point of view. There will be many on one side and plenty on the other.
Numbers however do not lie. We may still interpret them differently and draw our own conclusions and all of these are of course context specific.
But when we talk about numbers ... all I can say is they are in Anand's favour in terms of tournaments, and in Kasparov's favour in terms of chess games.
And it is not about anyone liking Anand or Kasparov or Carlsen or Kramnik; they have the respect of their peers.
It's about what we as fans can do to to support whichever one (or possibly more than one) of them is good for world chess.

"Numbers however do not lie."
That's why we ought to think in terms of qualities and not quantities.
I value much more Kramnik, Aronian and Karjakin winning Tal Memorial than Carlsen winning London, much WCC/Candidates matches than tournaments.
Rating does not give the name of the best player in the world. Only the best tournament player and possibly the most regular. See Topalov was not near to beat Anand and Kramnik. And i do not think Carlsen is ready too.
For instance, Aronian earned the right to challenge the WCC much more than Carlsen, 1) for the many super-class tournaments he won years after years (proof of strenght and regularity), 2) for his crushing win in the Grand-Slam cycle.
One might add that Aronian is not (yet) modelling, nevertheless he is doing good to chess. He is young, dynamic and unexpectly wise (his regards about the WC title are truly deep). He knows why he plays, he truly loves the game and he defends it well. I am eager to seing in which direction he will lead us in the future!

"Aronian is not (yet) modelling"
Actually the way he likes to dress he does some sort of modelling!? But it is limited to tournament venues (rather than every other bus stop) and he doesn't earn money with it. One reason might be that western companies like G-Star aren't interested in models from Armenia [or India].
"Numbers do not lie" - one number (not a perfect one, but probably still the most objective one) favors Kasparov: Elo

"Numbers however do not lie."
Yes they do. Especially when you're still not giving any actual numbers or reference to support your fantastic claim. But I see that you've now admitted that it's not working when considering only classical events. You should perhaps have specified that little bit of information earlier, that would have avoided a lot of raised eyesbrows here. What else are you counting or discounting exactly to make the numbers fit your theory?

Great job by Aronian! Radjabov also did well and continued strongly each day while Kramnik seemed to falter more in the end - maybe out of fatigue. Thanks for the great pictures!

Review of the 2006 BMW 3 Series
Improving upon the ultimate driving machine benchmark, the 2006 BMW 3 Series is unequivocally the best car in the entry-luxury category.
- Safety
Still the standard when it comes to perfectly sorted vehicle dynamics, high-quality interior materials, wide range of configurations to suit any style, available all-wheel drive for sedan and wagon.
Still costs more than most of its competitors, lacking in interior storage space.
What's New for 2006
The BMW 3 Series sedan and wagon have been completely redesigned for 2006. Major highlights include new features, more powerful engines, a slightly larger interior and the incorporation of BMW's latest exterior styling elements. The 3 Series coupe and convertible are unchanged this year but will eventually move over to the new platform being used for the sedan and wagon; expect to see a new hardtop convertible for the 2008 model year.Read full review of the 2006 BMW 3 Series
Full 2006 BMW 3 Series Review
What's New for 2006
The BMW 3 Series sedan and wagon have been completely redesigned for 2006. Major highlights include new features, more powerful engines, a slightly larger interior and the incorporation of BMW's latest exterior styling elements. The 3 Series coupe and convertible are unchanged this year but will eventually move over to the new platform being used for the sedan and wagon; expect to see a new hardtop convertible for the 2008 model year.
The baby Bimmer has grown up for 2006. The sixth-generation 3 Series is slightly larger, heavier and faster than the previous 3, which was introduced in sedan form in 1999, followed by the coupes, the convertible and the wagon in 2000. An even better car overall, the 2006 BMW 3 Series has a bolder look, revised suspension and braking, more power and more interior space. BMW's infamous iDrive is now available in the 3 Series, but is thankfully optional (packaged with a navigation system), and the rest of the interior is a model of precision design.
For now, only the sedan and wagon benefit from the complete makeover. The 2006 3 Series coupe and convertible remain unchanged but will likely be merged into a single convertible model with a retractable hardtop design for the 2008 model year. The new 3 Series sedan is again badged as a 325 or 330, although both now use a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder. The 325 is rated at 215 hp, while the 330's engine comes with a three-stage induction system and different exhaust and powertrain software that result in 255 hp. The optional Active Steering system features a variable ratio that turns the front wheels to a greater degree relative to steering wheel movement at low speeds (such as parking lots and tight corners), and even countersteers if the stability control system senses a slide.
The 3 Series is BMW's top seller in the U.S., and for good reason -- endowed with world-class suspension, steering and brake components, these cars have an ability to communicate with their drivers that is unmatched in the entry-level luxury class and, indeed, unmatched by most cars at any price. Lest you think this adroit handling comes at the expense of ride quality, rest assured that BMW still realizes the importance of comfortable cruising. Whether you choose the standard suspension or the optional sport-tuned setup, you'll be able to go about your weekday routine without feeling that you've sacrificed ride comfort for the sake of weekend thrills. Overall, the BMW 3 Series cars tend to cost more than the competition, but if you go easy on the options, we think you'll find that the price of admission is well worth it.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The BMW 3 Series lineup includes the 325i and 330i sedans, the 325xi all-wheel-drive sedan and wagon, the 330xi all-wheel-drive sedan, and coupe and convertible versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci. Because the sedan and wagon are all-new designs, there are slight variations between them and the two-door coupe and convertible in regard to standard and optional equipment. Standard features on 325 models include automatic climate control, one-touch power windows, a power moonroof, automatic headlights, heated mirrors, a CD player and keyless entry. The 330 model adds upgraded wheels, a sport suspension and a Logic 7 premium sound system. Various options include a DVD-based navigation system with iDrive, adaptive xenon headlights, parking sensors, active cruise control, leather seating and active steering. The optional Performance Package includes tighter suspension tuning, performance tires, a higher speed limiter and sport seats.
Powertrains and Performance
The 325 sedan and wagon models are powered by a 3.0-liter inline six that makes 215 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The 330 sedans have a higher-performance version of the same engine that generates 255 hp and 220 lb-ft of torque. BMW 325Ci coupes and convertibles have a 2.5-liter inline six that makes 184 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, while the 330Ci's 3.0-liter engine generates 225 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque. Most 3 Series models come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. The exceptions are the 325Ci models, which have a five-speed. A six-speed automatic is optional for the sedans and wagon; the coupe and convertible's have a five-speed automatic. BMW's Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) is also available on select models. The 3 Series is typically rear-drive, though models with an "x" designation are all-wheel drive.
Most BMW 3 Series models include four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, dynamic brake control, front-seat-mounted side airbags and head curtain airbags for the front and rear. The sedan's and wagon's stability control system integrates several brake-related features, such as wiping the pads in the rain (wet brakes don't stop too well) and snugging the pads to the rotors when the driver lifts off the throttle, which increases brake responsiveness. In IIHS tests, the 3 Series earned a "Good" rating (the best possible) for its protection of occupants in front-offset and side-impact crashes. The NHTSA awarded the vehicle four out of five stars for front-impact safety and five stars for side-impact safety.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside BMW 3 Series sedans, drivers will find a restrained show of luxury, wherein the emphasis is on driver comfort and involvement, hence the supportive seats and clean analog gauges. Materials are high in quality and build quality is exceptional; indeed, even the standard leatherette upholstery looks and feels better than you would expect.
Driving Impressions
The BMW 3 Series never fails to impress us. Its world-class suspension, steering and brakes provide hours of entertainment on twisty two-lane highways -- beyond simply feeling rock-solid when hustled around turns, this car communicates with the driver in a manner that inspires confidence no matter what kind of driving you're doing. And you don't have to give up a comfortable ride to get this kind of athleticism.

Great gear!
First off, I got the Jacket, Pants & Leather Gloves and will be getting the insoles soon. I used these for a motorcycle ride in 25-50 degree F weather for a total of 12 hours and this gear worked great. It heats up fast and even at 25 I couldn't have it on max. It's a wonder how I lived without these.

My first thoughts upon learning of the horrible attack on the Boston Marathon was that I wished I had a magic wand that could be used to eliminate violence in this world. Clearly sane and rational approaches to maintaining a civilized culture are not working, if they even ever existed.
How anybody could find it reasonable to attack a crowd of people enjoying an annual festival in the city of Boston is beyond my ability to understand. Bringing it home, a man believing he has the right to smack a woman because she will not shut up is equally unfathomable. Believing that arming a bunch of teachers to solve the problem of crazies shooting up children in schools makes no sense.
Our culture makes no sense. We spend billions on building increasingly dangerous weapons, yet claim to be a peace-loving people. Peace-loving people don't spend their treasury on drones that can kill, by remote control, both targets and collateral damage. Collateral damage makes no sense. Whose collateral is a child blown apart because they happened to be playing in a street next to a target? Did somebody pledge that child as a down payment on cheap oil for Western nations?
We are kidding ourselves that we promote peace. We are a war-mongering and violent society. We love war and the profits it delivers to the kings of commerce more than we love the innocence of children the world over. Jane Stillwater, a California blogger, in a piece titled "Always Searching for New and Better Ways to Kill People" had this to say about America: "It's not at all hard to believe that our most popular national priority right now is to see how many more new and effective weapons of death we can supply our troops with, supply foreign dictators with, supply our cities' paramilitary police with, supply every rabid gun-nut and gangsta in the country with and/or also supply ourselves?"
We are kidding ourselves when we talk about soldiers as heroes. From the beginning of time, soldiers exist for one purpose, to ensure that the powerful get what they want, whether they deserve it or not. Kings used armies to keep themselves in power and take for themselves the wealth created by the work of labor. Kings of commerce today use armies to keep themselves in power and take for themselves the wealth created by the work of labor.
While I'm on this soap box, let me tell you how offended I am by businesses who place signs outside saying that they alone built their business. I know the hard work of entrepreneurs. The successful ones work long hours, seven days a week. They sacrifice daily to make their business successful. But nobody does it all by themselves. Businesses need roads that are paid for by the community to get supplies and customers. Businesses need the public airwaves to promote their products, they didn't build that - they just use what we as a community built. Businesses need skilled labor to build their wealth. Those skilled workers came from schools that we as a community built.
America is capable of being the magic wand that we need to get rid of violence, but we can't do that so long as we continue investing in weapons of mass destruction to the detriment of schools and research. We can't continue supporting dictators and kings for the sake of some cheap oil. We can't continue sending belligerent old white men to represent us in Washington. We can't continue raping the beautiful planet we live upon and expect it to continue providing the things we need to survive - clean water, air and soil.
We need to stop deluding ourselves that we are a Christian nation. There is nothing Christian about waging war. There is nothing Christian about loving guns more than we love our children. There is nothing Christian about destroying the bounty that we have been gifted. There is nothing Christian about violence, whether it be domestic or foreign.

2013 Ford Fiesta ST delivers a pint-sized punch
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Mar 6th, 2012 at 9:01AM
We Americans may only be a few calendar flips away from the launch of the 250-horsepower Ford Focus ST, but in Europe, an even more pint-sized hot hatch is about to be unleashed. Here at the Geneva Motor Show, the Blue Oval's European counterparts have just unveiled the 2013 Fiesta ST, a three-door version of the five-door ST concept that we saw at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show last November. And while Ford executives have said that they're "open to the idea" of bringing this model to the States, we'll wait for official confirmation before we get too excited. Just like the concept, the...

Sited close to the Bay Bridge with views out over the water, Wharton's new San Francisco campus is also conveniently located near public transit. The school offers up graduate level classes and an expanded MBA program in a high tech, digital learning environment. Rather than constructing a new facility, the school opted to renovate and adapt aa floor in the former Hills Brothers Coffee Plant, a 1920s Romanesque Revival facility featuring brick walls and arched walkways and doors. If it weren't for the views of the Bay Bridge, you might think you were in a historic east coast school. The building and original sign are also national landmarks.
Gensler designed the adaptive reuse of the 37,000 sq ft facility, which includes state-of-the-art group study rooms and amphitheater-style classrooms with HD video conferencing for broadcasts of networking events, speaker series and classes back to Philadelphia and across the world. The entire project was recently awarded LEED Gold certification for its interiors. During construction, 80% of the waste was diverted from landfills and upgrades included a strong focus on daylighting, the use of locally-sourced and eco-friendly materials as well as the installation of energy-efficient lighting, equipment and systems. The janitorial staff exclusively uses green cleaning products and the campus features a recycling and composting program. Food for the on -site eateries is locally sourced from within 100 miles and many of the offerings are made from scratch daily.

By Brad on 11/13/2011 Brad would recommend this product to a friend As good as the name brands but a lot cheaper. Great product! Quality By Michael on 10/31/2011 Michael would recommend this product to a friend High Quality carbon,low amount of dust to be rinsed, clear water ,Great price, what more can can be said????? Works great By vladimir on 8/20/2011 vladimir would recommend this product to a friend This lignite carbon works very well. Thanks BRS for a great product. Excellent value and performance By Jason on 7/17/2011 Jason would recommend this product to a friend I was a faithful Kent customer for years. The quality of BRS carbon far surpasses my former brand. In using the Lignite, I have noticed it lasts longer than Kents' product and the price point is far superior. Better quality at a lower price, can't beat it.... first time using By james on 6/15/2011 james would recommend this product to a friend Well this is the first time I have ever used carbon like this. I liked it, not too dusty, just ran it under some RO water for a bit in the bag and put it in the sump under the return from the tank. Clean water great value! By Jetthril on 3/30/2011 Jetthril would recommend this product to a friend I have been using this carbon for about a year now in a mesh bag placed in the back sump of my 34 gallon solana tank. It has been a tremendous help in keeping unwanted impurities out of my system. Just be sure to wash out the new carbon before using it, this product does come with a little dust, but it doesn't take away from the great value and performance a bit! Get it, you won't regret it! great for the price By brad on 3/15/2011 brad would recommend this product to a friend just rise and use like other carbons and does the job Crystal Clear By Kevin on 1/20/2011 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend I have only tried this type of Activated Carbon for my tank. (150g reef). This was my first time and I tried it because I was browsing through the excellect BRS videos so I decided to try it. I really thought my water was clear before, but after about 1-2 weeks it seems more clear. I didn't even know I needed this activated carbon, but it seems to work great. I put the carbon in the BRS deluxe reactor and that was easy to do. I did a good rinsing before going in being careful not to rub it together and cause more dust. In and clear, I like it. :) Definitely use this stuff By Mike on 1/10/2011 Mike would recommend this product to a friend I was using fluval before, can't be any better than this stuff, but this is for sure cheaper which means you can change it out more often and get better results for the same cost or even less than before! Carbon works best when it's fresh, so don't skimp, with this you can afford not to good buy By James on 11/7/2010 James would recommend this product to a friend good carbon at an even better price...stop paying for the label on the others! Wish I bought more. By Tony on 8/20/2010 Tony would recommend this product to a friend Great bang for the buck carbon. I'm using it in the BRS dual reactor... works as advertised and not much dust. The carbon was rinsed with RO water and it rinsed clean in about 30 seconds. I wish I had bought more. Works really well By Frankie Torres on 4/23/2010 Frankie Torres would recommend this product to a friend Stuff works as describe. Works great with the Dual Reactor they sell. Keep my water crystal clear... Thanks again BRS for a great product.

WARSAW, N.Y. -- Authorities say a 75-year-old Virginia woman has been returned to upstate New York to face charges stemming from the theft of thousands of dollars and a vehicle from a now-deceased elderly man.
State police say Treva Wright of Roanoke, Va., was returned to Wyoming County on Monday and charged with felony grand larceny and a misdemeanor offense of New York's general obligations law.
Troopers say that between May and June 2011, Wright scammed $17,000 and a vehicle from an elderly man living in the rural town of Warsaw.
Wright returned to Virginia and was taken into custody on an arrest warrant last July, but fought extradition until a governor's warrant resulted in her return to western New York.
She's being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail. It couldn't be determined if she had a lawyer.

Order your ImageVision workstation (888) 664-6762
Security starts with physical strength. Our security desks are made from a 16 gauge multi-form reinforced frame sheet metal--solid steel. Our locking cabinets have 18 gauge reinforced locking doors as well. Using steel instead of another material, such as aluminium, is especially important in security applications. As a general rule of thumb, steel withstands roughly three times the force of aluminium.
Configuration Options
You can place the locking hinged doors at either the front or the rear of the industrial computer desks, and CPU or equipment trays can be arranged to slide to the rear of the console. Other options, such as rear privacy panels, ensure that our security desks and security consoles remain secure. These privacy panels also provide an optimum environment for reducing distraction and increasing productivity.
We offer sit-stand adjustable workstations for security applications, which can be modified in the field to convert between the two. Casters are also available for mobile security operations.
Three Tiers of Monitors
For a multi-monitor setup, we can provide monitor support up to three tiers high, with dual pivot monitor mounts, that support a total monitor load of 23 pounds.
Full specifications are available upon request by phone, fax, or e-mail. ImageVision also can have a consultant advise you on how to most effectively deploy your security desks and consoles. We'll be able to give you a response within 48 hours.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) - Falls Church volunteer firefighters are donating an ambulance to a Long Island community hit hard by Superstorm Sandy.
The Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department says it is donating the reserve ambulance to the Island Park Volunteer Fire Department, which lost its fire trucks and ambulance to flooding from the storm. Falls Church fire officials plan to drive the ambulance to Island Park on Monday.
Fire Chief Paul Schomburg says the ambulance has served his department well, but it has a far greater value to the Island Park fire department.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
