Customer Reviews
- AWESOME! Review by julie
This is my second order and I'm absolutely thrilled with my purchase! The barbells are a perfect fit and the chains are high quality, the crystals hang perfectly.....I love them! Even more amazing was the customer service experience. This was a last minute purchase for a special occasion and I really didn't think I would receive the set in time, I sent a note along with my order and five days later, the day before I left on vacation, I received my order! THANK you so much!!

Villeroy & Boch
Villeroy & Boch Pottery of Mettlach was founded in 1836. The firm made many types of wares, including the famous Mettlach steins. Collectors can be confused because although Villeroy & Boch made most of its pieces in the city of Mettlach, Germany, they also had factories in other locations. The dating code impressed on the bottom of most pieces makes it possible to determine the age of the piece. Additional items, including steins and earthenware pieces marked with the famous castle mark or the word Mettlach, may be found in the Mettlach category. Villeroy & Boch also made mosaic ware and chromolith ware.

Due to its extensive size and influence, the health care industry requires thousands of employees and managers to help coordinate, organize, and stabilize the delivery and financing of health care systems and services in facilities and organizations across the U.S. What's more, many of these health care managers and administrators build their education foundation in health care administration degree programs.
Students who pursue online degrees in health care administration are exposed to courses that train them in the administrative responsibilities and medical knowledge needed to manage health-related organizations and teams of clerical and clinical employees. These in-depth courses feature discussions in management, hospital operations, human resources, and leadership. These topics are also often tied to business administration curriculum as well, thus allowing students to explore management careers in both health-related organizations and business entities.
Often, students who graduate from a health care administration degree program end up working as managers, administrators, and executives in businesses, hospitals, private practices, and clinics. These professionals are essential to directing the services, materials, and staff needed to operate successful day-to-day health care operations.
The responsibilities of health care administrators vary from facility to facility, with some being able to make top-level decisions, while others are limited to managing small teams of employees. That being said, there are a growing number of positions available to health care administrators in a variety of settings; in fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the employment of health care managers and administrators is expected to grow 22% in just a decade, which is must faster than the average for all U.S. occupations.

The internet has changed the nature of architectural discourse. It has become a grassroots, multidisciplinary education in collective reality.
Architexturez: In-EnactionArchitexturez South Asia
Several professions are charged with the mandate of ensuring quality of habitat development. If things are not going quite right in the real-world space, a good hard look at what is going on in professional space is in order. Many are and many more must be looking and it might help to look together.

The Design-List version 1 was made in the early 1990s under the direction of Howard Ray Lawrence and the Pennsylvania State University list server. Over the next decade the list transformed itself from a USENET newsfeed and information exchange into wide online discussions. These running discourses include a very wide range of interpretation of 'art and architecture', from a core mission of the list, to professional, political, educational, philosophical, and other perspectives.

The Constitution of India, committed to the universalisation of education through a directive principle, was amended to make free and compulsory school education a right. The amendment requires a law to be enacted - draft Bill for which was prepared and twice modified in 2003. In the discourse about the draft Bill, as well as in recent PIL on free seats for the poor, concern for a common school system has been amply reiterated.

A city master plan is a public document. As a document, it can be purchased. As a plan, it is best when put to practice. One way of using the plan is to view ongoing city developments in its framework. This list is for news about city development and comments on it from the perspective of the master plan, especially Delhi Master Plan.
MPISG: MPISG PlannerArchitexturez South Asia
The considerable criticism of the master plan-based city development is found in certain inadequacies of long-term planning and in the fact of reality overtaking the plans. What this doesn't capture is the significance of the master plan processes as an instrument for conflict resolution and distributive justice in space and time. While efficiency arguments against the master plan, especially when they do not obfuscate planning and implementation failures can be persuasive, equity arguments in its favour are compelling.

Lampshade advice (Pic)
I have these 2 lamps in my living room. I want to change shades. I'm just so bored of the styles of these shades. Also the sofa has a white slipcover on it now, which I'm loving.
Ok my problem is I am having a hard time finding lamp shades I like. I need a medium and a large shade.
What I want to know is can I use a solid shade and a print shade? Will that look good or not? I can't find 2 shades in a med and large that match.
I don't want to buy online. I want to buy in a store. Much easier to return.
Plus I'm looking for different artwork as well. Tired of that style and colors in the art. So we don't need to match the artwork.
HELPThis message has been edited. Last edited by: lilsophie,
My first thought would be to buy your artwork first and then go from there.
Ok sounds good Always. And probably take a new pic with the white slipcover.
Try someplace like Target....they often have matching shades in different sizes! I like solid light colored shades myself would rather see color in throw pillows and art.

The other thing is you can change the harp sizes too so both shades are same size....I did that recently when I bought two floor lamps that said 3 way but the harp 'bout hit the top of my bulb...looked like a fire hazard to me. Went to a upscale hardware store that sells to order knobs and carries harps and shades....not a chain...but got new shades with taller harps and all is fine!

I have checked Target numerous times. To get matching shades it's always small and large. Never have matching shades in medium and large. Don't know why, but I even checked Target online.
I recently bought lamps and lamp shades at Lowes. They have the same shades in different sizes - medium and large. You might check there and Home Depot too. My lamps were similiar (crystal bottoms but different) but thought I should have the same shade for cotinuity.
Let's see a pic nof the new slipcover!!
What style shade are you looking for? I have a floor and table lamp with similar shades so I'm looking forward to see what you choose.
Annie, I don't have a picture on my computer of the new white slipcover. I've been having problems with my computer. The slot in my tower where I put the memory stick no longer works. So I can't put new pics on computer.
But I just got a new tower, and am waiting for DH to hook it up. I will then have to learn once again how to put the pic on my computer. Because I'm sure it will be different. Uggg, it's always something. lol I'm not to computer literate. lol
Annie I want to change my colors. So have to get rid of the artwork. My DH says you paid good money for those. lol
I want to do whites, pale blues and greens.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lilsophie,
Assuming your picture frames are a standard size, why don't look for some inexpensive art in the colours you want and simply insert the prints into the existing frames? Or borrow this idea using the fabric of your choice.
Your room is so lovely and so calming. I like the way your end tables are decorated and artwork too.I like the pop of color is in your pictures.
I agree with new lamps-shades. Spray paint those lamp bases when you find new shades and pictures.
Good Luck!!
I am having the same issues, hunting new shades. I just bought these 2 linen script shades and I'm ready to change. They don't just go with different décor I'm wanting to change out. UGH...
The part of your post that caught my eye, lilsophie, was "will it look good or not?"
The best thing you can do is take both your lamps with you to the store and test lampshades out. Don't be embarrassed by "setting yourself up" in the aisle of the store. (I do it all the time)
Try to look with your eyes, and not your brain. That sounds kind of weird, but what I mean is that sometimes we can think our selves into circles about this kind of decision. "Is it right? Is it wrong? Will it look good together?" Don't think. Just look. Concentrate on what your eyes are seeing.
When a lamp shade looks right, it is right. If you stand the two lamps together, and if they look weird or off, then those shades are wrong.
Trust what you see. Don't talk yourself into anything. Don't take second best.
GreenAlice, thanks for all your advice. It was helpful.
Aksunny, yes I will check out Lowes again. Haven't looked there in a while. But they do have a nice selection.
Susan, I love the idea of putting fabric in the frames, such a cute look.
Jackie thanks so much. I love a calming and soothing look.
Cocok, thanks for the advice. The salelady once told me to bring the the lamps to find new shades as well. I never have, I get embarrassed so easy. I feel so weird carrying in my lamps into the store. I may have to get over it and just do it. LOL
Hi Lilsophie,
Love your room and the lamp style too. Are the lamps the same size? If so, I would put the same size shades on both also.
Finding the right size, color and shape for shades is difficult. Do you have a local lighting store or lighting repair place? They may have something available too.
Some shade options here although you mentioned not purchasing on line. Look at the textures and different designs for ideas.
One more place to check for inspiration and shade information. Her book is helpful if you want to make one too.
More shades here too for inspiration.
Good luck finding the perfect shade!
~Like sands through the hourglass
~So are the days of our lives
Beau'sRose. Thanks for the links. Such cute shades online, that's for sure. I do have a lamps plus near by. I will have to take a peek there once again. So wish they carried more shade selections in their stores though.
Maybe I will just get new lamps. lol
The lamps are different sizes. One is a floor lamp. So the floor lamp needs the larger shade.
Thanks for the links, they are very helpful
Go to a lighting store. They will also sell lampshades. And might even be able to order something in for you if you see something, but its the wrong size. The one by me often has sales and the prices aren't that different than the big box stores.
ever think about keeping the existing shades but spray painting them? you can get fabric paint at michaels....
Out on a limb, I think I will go to Lamps Plus, only lamp store around here. But maybe I should change out the artwork first. Decisions decisions.
Sjf, don't think I want to spray paint them. Because I think I want to get a different style shade. But that is something to think about, thx
I like your plan. Cylinder type plain shades would look more up to date and would change the look.
I think your finding the art first is an interesting way of changing the decor.
lilsophie, when my computer was acting up, I used the slot on the printer.
Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys.
Should I not go that route Mary Ruth? (picking art first?)
Strings, great idea. But I just got a new computer, waiting for DH to hook it up
I almost bought these shades at pottery barn yesterday, but refrained. What do you think??
I like them! What color are you walls now? I was going to buy burlap but realized my walls are close to that color so they would get kind of lost.....
That was my first thought for the shades, but seems heavy for the base, and if you are not using burlap anyplace else, it would be something you would have to tie in.
Annie, my walls are LA Gold #3. But I am going to repaint. Have to wait on DH because I can't move that large entertainment center. I have been waiting for a while. LOL
Mary Ruth, ok I will take your advice. I will paint first. Get new artwork and then decide on shades or new lamps all together.
Here is a picture with the white slipcover. I am having a horrible time learning all over again how to resize the pictures with this new Dell desktop computer. Uggg, any help would be appreciated. This message has been edited. Last edited by: lilsophie,
I love your slipcover!! Any ideas what color is going on the walls?
Not too sure Annie. I'm thinking of going with color I had matched with something. It's a cream with a hint of brown in it. Any ideas would be helpful.
When u post pictures on this board do you use jpeg? I can't figure out why the area is so large that i posted in but the pic looks the right size.
Yes, I used jpeg. I noticed that there was alot of space around your pic but I don't know why.
The cream with a touch of brown sounds good. Mine is too dark.
are the lampshades on hold?
Annie, I have been looking but haven't found anything that I love with those lamp bases. It's hard because I don't really want to order anything online, because I'm sure I won't like them, then have to return them. "sigh"
Can't find anything in the stores that are cute. And it's a problem getting a med and a large in the same design for some reason.
Nothing seems to be easy. lol
I have thought about just getting new lamps. But I still seem to like those bases.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lilsophie,
I have the same set so I was hoping you would find a solution!!
This one from Target comes in S,M,L. It comes in ivory but the pic doesn't show the pleats so here it is in blue.This message has been edited. Last edited by: annie17,
I'm going to try one of each.....
The fabric wrap on that shade looks great. Did you find it on target.com?
Nora, it is in the stores and online. I saw it yesterday and it i very nice but the measurements don't work for my lamps.
I found this website for lamp shades some time ago.
I had been having a hard time finding the shade & choice of shade. The site has many kinds of shades [24] & each come in different sizes. They are not cheap. But very well made. I got a large one for Liv/rm & 2-for bed/rm.
when you get the linc, top lefr it says lampshades,click that & you will see many styles.This message has been edited. Last edited by: noraj,
Thank you annie17,will refer it to my DD...
Sometimes I think that it is harder to change lamp shades than the whole lamp. When I've tried it just never looks right.
Have you thought of a contrasting colored base, maybe a bit beefier for scale? Do you use them for task lighting? or just decorative?
GL in your search!
I agree. I'm going to forget about replacing the shades.
Thanks for the replies and pics of the shades. It is hard finding the same shade in two different sizes. I am just betting that I won't like any other shade with those lamp bases of mine. Keep thinking another style just won't look right.
Thinking about just getting new lamps all together, but I feel like I'm just wasting money...uuuggg
I just know that I don't care for the style of those shades anymore.
What to do, what to do.
Also I'm not having any lucky replacing my art work that I have in that room either.

- How to Read a Study Record
By the end of 1999, it was estimated that 1.2 million children were living with HIV infection. During 1999 alone, 600,000 children were newly infected with HIV, mostly in less-developed countries. Most HIV-infected children are infected by transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, at birth, or through breast milk. Antiretroviral medications, cesarean section before rupture of membranes, and avoidance of breastfeeding are ways to reduce the risk of transmission. This study will determine mother-to-child transmission rates and the effects on infants of exposure to antiretroviral medications and mode of delivery.
Approximately 180 to 240 HIV-infected pregnant women in Mexico and Argentina will be enrolled during the first year of this 5-year study. HIV-infected women will be evaluated during pregnancy, during delivery, and 6 months after delivery. At each visit, a history will be taken and physical examination given; blood will be collected for laboratory tests.
HIV-exposed infants will be evaluated through 6 months of age. At each of 2 visits, a history will be taken and physical examination given; blood will be collected for laboratory tests; and growth will be assessed.
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|A Prospective, Observational Study of HIV-Infected Pregnant Women and HIV-Exposed, Uninfected Children at Clinical Sites in Latin American Countries
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|July 2002
This is an observational, prospective cohort study to describe the characteristics of HIV-infected pregnant women and their infants at participating clinical sites in Latin America and the Caribbean where formula and antiretroviral prophylaxis of mother-to-child transmission of HIV are available. We will describe the utilization of interventions related to decreasing the risk of mother-to-child transmission, including antiretroviral prophylaxis, cesarean section before labor and before ruptured membranes, and avoidance of breastfeeding. We will describe receipt of maternal antiretroviral therapies and determine mother-to-child HIV transmission rates. This study will describe maternal adverse events during pregnancy and the postpartum period. In addition, the study will describe infant outcomes potentially related to in utero and early infant exposure to antiretroviral medications and to mode of delivery. We will enroll approximately 180-240 HIV-infected pregnant women during the first year of this planned five-year study. HIV-infected women will be evaluated antepartum, intrapartum and six months postpartum. HIV-exposed infants will be evaluated through six months of age.

Not again!?
Perhaps it was because I'm currently reading The Age of Empathy - Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society, Frans de Waal's latest book on how and why humans (and other primates) are capable of showing empathy and solving moral problems - that I found myself shocked by the recent Europe Echecs interview with Topalov's manager Silvio Danailov. Topalov's match against Anand hasn't even started yet, but the first provocations are already in the air again.
Photo: Europe-Echecs
Frans de Waal is one of the world's leading primatologists and has written an impressive body of work about the similarities between apes and humans. In his latest work, he hands us a toolkit on how to improve our society by looking at (human) nature. Empathy and morality are not only human affairs, but also play an very important role in other species, such as chimpansees and dolphins. De Waal argues that the election of president Obama is a clear sign that the 'nightmare' days of Reagan and Thatcher are over and that perhaps it is time to transform society into a more empathic place. Well, I think it's time to end the 'nightmare' of Toiletgate and start a new era where chess professionals actually show some empathy and respect for each other instead of constantly trying to provoke the opponent.
In the video of the interview, Danailov talks about whether the 'Sofia rules' apply in the upcoming Topalov-Anand match, to be held in Sofia next month. They will not be applied - at least not officially. But that's no problem for Danailov:
If one player doesn't offer or accept draws they will apply. Vishy [Anand] doesn't agree but he will be forced, because Topalov will not offer him a draw and he will not speak to him. So, what to do? He will be forced. This is the best. This is the best, otherwise... I don't know, there's people who are absolutely conservative, they are against these rules, but this is the future of chess. This is for sure. Everybody now understands this. Of course, I understand there are some players, old players, who don't want to work... they like short draws and whatever. They like to offer them, but this is finished. Chess ... we need a professional sport, and in professional sport, we cannot do this.
It's a remarkable statement: Anand - forced against his will to comply to rules that are not official; this is the future of chess, no matter what 'old' chess players say - their opinion clearly is unimportant and shouldn't be respected. But the most remarkable is that Danailov says that Topalov will not only refuse to offer any draws but also will ignore his opponent altogether: "He will not speak to him." In other words, he will drop all courtesy and normal etiquette and create a 'non-speaking terms' atmosphere in a match in his home country, against one of the most relaxed and friendly chess players in the professional chess scene.
And why? Because of 'professionalism', that vacuous word all too often misused by people who refuse to acknowledge that most if not all work requires empathy and social skills - in other words, people who haven't the slightest idea what 'professionalism' really means. (Here's how one competency library actually defines 'professionalism': "Thinking carefully about the likely effects on others of one's words, actions, appearance, and mode of behavior.") To exclude all social elements from a profession is in fact the ultimate un-professional thing imaginable.
It's a fallacy Frans de Waal convincingly demolishes in his book, showing how cooperation and social interaction are absolutely crucial to succeed in any job and society, and are in fact measures by which we judge people and choose them as colleagues, friends or mates. Not so for the Bulgarians, who've created their own rules and apparently don't mind to be social isolates in the chess world, as long as the results speak for themselves. What an utterly unprofessional attitude!
In a similar vein, we've argued before on this site that shaking hands before and after a game shouldn't actually be incorporated in the rules of chess, but instead should be respected even though they're not in the rules - because, as De Waal shows, that's how empathy and social skills work: intuitively, without explicit rules, automatically. And that's why apes and other animals are capable of displaying them, too, without being able to read lawbooks or guides on ethical behaviour. It's a thing of nature. It's in our genes.
The sad thing is that we've seen this all before, four years ago in Elista. There, the Bulgarian team made themselves ridiculous in the eyes of world by accusing Vladimir Kramnik - without a shred of hard evidence - of cheating. They even published a childish book on it - still lacking any solid evidence - to prove their point, which I reviewed back in 2007. Perhaps it's worth recalling how Topalov accused Kramnik of unfairly using his 'home advantage' up till the Kremlin in order to "keep the title at any cost" and that he (Kramnik) "will not balk at violating ethical principles."
In his book, Topalov wrote that it was naive of him to agree to the match against Kramnik being played on Russian (well, kind of) ground, because such a match obviously couldn't be fair. Well, it's four years later and look who's playing on home ground this time. Will Topalov and Danailov return the compliment and agree if Anand claimed a match in Bulgaria couldn't ever be fair because of some kind of home advantage? Frans de Waal devotes an entire chapter on the 'walking in other man's 'shoes' concept, but looking at the interview of Europe Echecs, I have my doubts if Danailov has read it. Note how he laughs during the entire interview, routinely dismissing dissenting views and announcing how the reigning World Champion will be 'forced' to do this and that. Does that sound like someone showing any kind of empathy or 'ethical principles' at all?
Silvio Danailov has recently announced his candidacy for president of the European Chess Union. Heaven forbid someone who doesn't understand the first thing about 'professionalism', baselessly accuses some world class players of unethical behaviour and laughingly tells others what to do, ever gets to play such an important role in European chess, even if he did show some good initiatives like the exciting M-Tel tournament and his passion for more fighting chess. This kind of destructive madness really can't be tolerated in our beautiful chess world. Frans de Waal ends his book The Age of Empathy (I am quoting from the Dutch version) with the following words:
We must rely on our intellect to figure out how to balance individual and collective interests. One instrument we have and which enriches our thinking enormously, has been selected over ages, meaning its survival value has been proven time and again. It is our capacity to show a sense of oneness with others, to understand them, and to place ourselves in their situation.
We can only hope this message will reach the Bulgarian team before the Topalov-Anand match starts.
@noyb, Pal G: at least read his book first if you're going to critique De Waal. Without having read it, your arguments sound extremely hollow.Of course he elaborates in great detail on all the points you mention. I was just quoting De Waal to illustrate my impressions about the interview, not to give an accurate summary or explanation of his 300-page, heavily footnoted book.
@pete: it was me who wrote the column - not Peter.

Arne, I don't fully agree with you.
Shaking hands before or after the game is a sign of respect for your oponent, it comes to say "I respect you and don't have any claims against you". If you don't respect your oponent, it is ridiculous to be forced to show respect of him by shaking his hand. It is not such a tragedy if GM A does not respect GM B.
Sofia rules are the future of chess for sure, especially in tournaments with >2 players. Have you seen football championships when on the last matchday the champion is alread known and that team loses the last game because it doesn't matter? The Sofia rules are a medicine against unfair draws which influence the other players' results.
Honestly, I don't understand why Danailov wants Topalov not to speak to Vishy. Maybe this is a perverse way to show Vishy that he must accept the Sofia rules. It this is the case, I don't like it. But Vishy is not put at disadvantage.
It is not unfair to hold the match in Sofia as Bulgarian government gave state guarantees for the prize fund. You should agree that in such a case it is not acceptable for the government to let the match move to another country. No other entitiy gave guarantees to the place of the match is a consequence of this. Chess is a beatiful game but you have serious organizational work as well. Why did not Vishy organize anything? Whatever the reason, VIshy had enought time and chances; now he must accept the terms and conditions.

Somehow, I think morality enters into this argument without a formal introduction. First Danailov is quoted to say "He [Toaplov] will not speak to him [Anand]", then the following paragraph:
"And why? Because of 'professionalism', that vacuous word all too often misused by people who refuse to acknowledge that most if not all work requires empathy and social skills – in other words, people who haven't the slightest idea what 'professionalism' really means. (Here's how one competency library actually defines 'professionalism': "Thinking carefully about the likely effects on others of one's words, actions, appearance, and mode of behavior.") To exclude all social elements from a profession is in fact the ultimate un-professional thing imaginable."
It seems to me meant to be an argument to deny Danailov (and Topalov) professionalism. However, they might have given considerable thought and care to this decision not to speak during the match. There is of course a big difference between a chess match, which is first and foremost a competition and a society, in which competition plays a role, maybe an important one, but it's not its essence.
So maybe it's morally questionable to abandon social etiquette during a chess match, but it just might be completely professional. Morality has entered the discussion, like I said, without a formal introduction (that's bad etiquette ;) )

European Chess Federation (that is voters): take heed!
Creemer, the point is that 'professionalism' should always include reckoning with others instead of 'forcing' them to comply with things they don't agree on. Nobody speaks during chess games - but the fact that Danailov feels the need to state this explicitly and that Anand doesn't agree with his point of view, is a sure sign for trouble.
Not sure why you believe that not speaking to your opponent during a game is rude but leaving the board 40 times per game is an acceptable behaviour .
Danailov is right , Sofia rules and Bilbao system are the future , Topalov is not telling Vishy what to do , he just found an aproach to the match that suits his style.
Danailov will be the next ECU president , and it will be great for chess.
Mmm , Elista was mentioned on the article , in fact it is even hinted in the very title of it... So it would be the author the one who bring it back.
Nobody is acusing anybody of cheating , and of course nobody is saying that the opponent is the enemy , or that good social behaviour is wrong... noone but you...
Like i said , they just found a nice way to enforce the rules that they have been promoting all this years , there is no disrespect implied on that , only the promise of a great fighting match.
Manu, just look at Danailov's grin when he says 'Anand will be forced' and how he laughs away anyone disagreeing with him. Are you sure no disrespect is implied here? I agree cheating is not an issue (yet), but to me these are clear signs of a fresh series of provocations - not the first time, I might add - reminding me immediately of what happened in Elista.
Not shaking your opponent's hand.
Not talking to your opponent at all.
Great ways to enforce fighting chess! Literally! WOW, thank you for opening my eyes manu!

Excellent article. So now what? Vishy knows that Topolov won't speak to him. He probably will feel relieved. Vishy is quite capable of playing a dead position, and draw by repitition will only require that the champion talk to the arbiter, not the opponent.
Vishy is a veteran and knows how people like Danailov like to play psychout games. He will let it run down his back. The only way Vishy will lose is if he really no longer wants the title of World Champion which requires him to prove over and over that he is the best.
The rest of the noise just makes for great publicity and generates interest in the match. A classic good guy verses bad guy ploy.
¨and how he laughs away anyone disagreeing with him.¨
Not at all , please explain that concept a little more , in fact i don´t see (or hear ) anyone disagreeing with him trough the interview ,Danailov´s smiles seems to match his enthusiastic state of mind , judging for his body language.
The way i see it you are being a little biased gainst him , which i completely understand if you considered Kramnik´s behaviour in Elista acceptable (im not trying to bring that up), but i cant help but noticing that you are also accusing him without evidence , so...
If you really had some training on reading body language you would have noticed the only (apparent) lie in the whole interview , which occurs when he is asked about wheter he believes that Topa is in good shape.
But it is also true that giving his position as a manager of Topa , the concealing gest that he makes can mean many many different things.
It is going to be a great and clean match , in any case Topa´s locality favours Vishy , like you already admitted he will be a hero no matter the outcome of the match.
Who said anything about not shaking hands...?
Why is that you need to come up with things that are not related to the topic...?
¨thank you for opening my eyes manu!¨
You are welcome , although im not totally satisfied with the results.
Not shaking hands with Short and Kramnik. Not talking to Anand. See a pattern yet? What reason could he possibly have to attack Anand, one of the nicest players on the circuit like this?
Danailov and Topalov have long been on a confrontation course. This interview just confirms they don't intend to change anything. It's hardly the first time we heard Danailov talk like this. So I have no reason to assume he's not intending to make a splash with his bevaiour at the WCC. And I don't doubt he's going to derail the WCC the moment it goes wrong for Topalov. I consider this to be an attempt at setting up conflict as early as possible, to be used later. He's done it once, why would he not try it again?
But we'll see. Topalov already lost many of his fans in Elista and there's no doubt he's going to lose more if he tries intrigues against Anand. At some point he has to see that he's on the wrong path. This guy used to be one of the most popular chess players and look what he's now. Elista is going to tarnish his name for the rest of his chess life, and it's his own fault. He's making a fool of himself, which is a shame, because he is a great player. But sadly, great players don't always have great personalities.

Arne is perfectly entitled to dislike Danailov. He should keep in mind though that English is Danailov´s third language and his use of it is less than subtle. Making public statements on behalf of Topalov and their timing is not Danailov´s strength, and the damage he made in 2006 is still very much with them. It would have been a fantastic investment to have a real communication professional (rather than anti-communication professionals) on their team back then and probably since in order to come clean in the eye of the public.
It´s remarkable how unforgiving Arne and some other commentators are about Topalov who has been for a long time and still is a model player in several respects: fighting spirit, attractive style, availability to the press even after setbacks. Still, some are seeing Anand, a great player and great sportsman without doubt, already on the moral high ground and the moral winner. Shouldn´t it all be decided on the board?

All that is tricks, tactics to add pressure on Vishy: quite typical at this level. On the contrary, Indian team's strategy is to keep on going silent.
Topalov fights hard to win Linares whereas Vishy steadily goes through Corus. Vishy knows he has public opinion and the majority of fans behind him, he has rightly gained his title against Kramnik (twice) whereas Topalov has not really earned the right to challenge Anand (he should not have played against Kamsky if Elista's conditions had been respected).
To summarize, contrary to what it seems, I believe that the Bulgarians are under pressure and not the Indians : they are much more nervous, they play a double edged game with their WCC clashes and tricks, they play at home: this is a matter of life and death, they must win at all cost when loss would mean their end (of respectability at least) in the chess world.
@Schachblogger: I have thought about the language-aspect, but it has been several days since the video was released and a transcript appeared on various websites. If Danailov felt he was misinterpreted he could have rectified it in his own language, but he hasn't, so we must assume he still stands behind his words.
As for forgiving Topalov, I can only say that he is, of course, truly a fantastic player - but after reading his book on the 2006 match (of which he has, to my knowledge, withdrawn not a word) and witnessing him refuse to shake hands with his opponents on several occasions even after the Elista match, as well as keeping Danailov as his manager despite the many unfounded accusations the latter has made in the past, it isn't particularly easy to be in a forgiving state of mind. In fact, I'm amazed some people prefer to forget these shameful events so easily, and I don't think we should feel sorry for the Bulgarians, let alone grant them the 'benefit of the doubt' until they've apologized or withdrawn their baseless accusations.
¨Not shaking hands with Short and Kramnik. ¨
You are mixing things a little there , it was Cheparinov the one who didnt shake hands with Short , and you are also missing the fact that Moro did the same to Topa before that , you probably missed it because Veselin took it like a man and didn´t make an scene like Short did... nevermind , i dont want to argue.
But i see you have very strong feelings about Topalov and Co , and judging for the tone of this article you came to the right place to share them.
I just wanted to point out that not everybody agrees with the profiling tendencies of this article.
It´s been a pleasure.
@Arne :
I´d love to hear the reasons or thought process behind your phrase:
¨and how he laughs away anyone disagreeing with him.¨
It seems a little too biased IMHO.

Anand will crush Topalov. There is no problem here, just a slow-motion traffic accident waiting to happen. And we'll all be watching this gigantic pile-up.
Topalov is in lousy form, and has been for a long time.

Danailov is right we do not wanna see no short draws. And people this is the world champion match. Like Botvinnik who said he would start hating his opponent to be able to win. He could not hate Tal...
@Manu: Cheparinov is associated with Danailov and Topalov and his refusal to shake hands was nothing more than a test-run for the upcoming Topalov-Kramnik game. This is absolutely related to the topic. Moro refusing to shake Topa's hand, well, guess what, after Elista I can understand it.
4 years 1 month ago
Arne do you find your article to be "professional"? It is a column and you are entitled to speak your mind, but in all honesty I find that you are withholding some important facts. For instance yes, the Topalov team showed unacceptable behaviour in Elista, but Kramnik leaving for a toilet visit after every single move should be mentioned as well. It cannot be missed if you bring up Elista.
Further in general I agree with your statement. Danailov has a questionable view of professionalism. You can always analyze details and come to a different opinion. One thing is for sure: he's a smart man. He does it for a reason. There is a purpose behind this interview. And only he and Topa know the true meaning. If you ask me, he's trying to shake things up, provoke the Vishy team, shake them out of their balance. It's all part of a greater strategy.
So what you are saying is that one refusal is justified and the other don´t , nice to have you here to show us who are the good guys in this story.
@Arne :
Well?... , What happened? Did the cat get your tongue/keyboard?
@Manu, just look at the video and pay attention to what he says about 'old players' and 'absolutely conservative' people. Is this how he is planning to treat critics of his ideas if he were to become president of the ECU?
I will , but i´d like you to justify your phrasing first :
¨and how he laughs away anyone disagreeing with him.¨
IMHO That belongs to the realm of bias and speculation Arne , if that is not the case, please let me know your reasoning behing those words.
Why? I'm just describing what happens in the interview. Isn't that enough justification?

In the late 2009, just after the Sofia-match was scheduled, Danailov said in an interview:
"I suppose that in the next six months from Anand's team will make everything possible to require unfulfillable conditions during the negotiations for the contract for the match, in order to make us nervous."
Now, after some four months, you should ask him what came through of his expectations.
I do not like Danailovs attitude, which maybe would be more suitable for heavy-weight-boxing. He is plain disrespectfull to his opponent.
But the real one to pity is Topalov, who has to get by with such a manager. It may very well backfire on him.
4 years 1 month ago
I cannot agree entirely to the article. Most of us are afraid (if you can say so) that things might turn ugly in Sofia - and if that happens it's pretty likely that the Danailov side will be responsible. But I find the article rather exaggerating.
I don't think it's condemnable not to offer draws; and as for the 'not speaking'-part Danailov might have meant (at least that's how I understood) that Topalov isn't going to speak to Vishy *during the game*. Apart from that they won't talk too much, but that's just natural in a match, I guess. And even they don't talk at all it might be an unpleasant atmosphere but I think it's within the boundaries of sporting rivalry.

I would strongly suggest Topalov to fire his manager.
Topalov is an excellent player and his games are remarkable.
Mr. Danailov makes you look like a very greedy political figure. Many people hate Silvio and incidentally hate you as well.
Get rid of him Veselin!
You are the one of nicest most beloved chess players and Danailov is keen to exploit that into his own advantage. I wish you win the match for the sake of RIGHGEOUS CHESS.
Don´t let Silvio push you around!
Who the heck is going to vote for you?
The Devil?
@Manu: I didn't say Moro refusing the handshake was justified. I choose my words with care and what I said was "understand". That's something completely different. I don't believe people should refuse to shake Topalov's hand because he thinks he can do that. Show him how it's done with style, maybe he'll learn. But I can understand if people choose not to do it.

@Arne. I like your moral appeal and your thoughts on being respectful towards others. That said, I think your definition of "professionalism" is somewhat problematic. Professional sports without conflict or antisentiment is, to me, unthinkable. Whether it makes you popular with the audience is something completely different, but I very much doubt Danilov shares your view on the definition of "professional".

Don't the Sophia rules include the soccer scoring thing? Which wouldn't make any difference in a heads up match. The only thing left would be the draw rule (is it 30 moves?). But NO offers or acceptances.... does that mean playing on in drawn stagnant endgames until the 50 move rule is reached? One could always decline a draw offer couldn't they? The whole thing seems unnecessary, in poor taste, and "unprofessional" (in my interpretation of the word).

Anand knew about Danailov's attitude and mind in advance. He agreed to the terms of the match contract. Does he deserve any compassion?

Thank you for the article and the insight regarding the Bulgarians. However, I hardly ever agree with your ideas regarding socialism, liberalism, and darwinism.
So, I believe you are missing the mark on your call for professionalism and empathy. The Bulgarians are lacking neither. Professionalism is defined as having skill in an area. The def. from a university human resources website is not a practical resource. They are clearly skilled, off the board and on. And empathy, which I doubt can be attributed to primates, is simply defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. I believe the Bulgarians fully understand Anand's current position, and are playing moves off the board. They are empathetic towards Anand; hardly sympathetic.
I believe what the Bulgarians are sorely lacking is Sportsmanship.

what's the big deal? he won't take any draws, good luck to him. As for not responding to draw offers, yeah it's not polite or friendly, and in amateur competition when you know the player personally it's a little bit confrontational senselessly- but this is the world championship game, them being buddies doesn't really matter to anand or topalov.

Frans de Waal's arguement lacks only the merit of being true. He needs to stick to monkeys because it's clear he knows NOTHING about people. His ascertion that "the election of president Obama is a clear sign that the 'nightmare' days of Reagan and Thatcher are over and that perhaps it is time to transform society into a more empathic place." is HILARIOUS! Everyone in the US would gladly bring back Reagan and his less contentious approach to politics compared to Obama's contemptuous treatment of his political opponents and the citizens of the U.S. Obama is even trying to break the laws of the U.S. to impose his will on the people. How is that compationate in any way?! Obama can't hold a candle to Reagan's level of compassion! Speaking of monkeys...

Personally I don't see what the big deal with that interview is. Topalov will not accept draws and will more or less play on the Sofia rules ... I think Danailov said that so Anand will not try to offer draws therefore avoiding any uncomfortable situations when Topalov will not speak.
In all that there should be some nerve game, but isn't that normal in WC match?
Lets see what the players will show on the board and not get too carried away with talks.

There is something even worse not yet mentioned: WHEN THE SAME PERSON IS THE MANAGER OF A TOP PLAYER AND A SUPPOSEDLY-NEUTRAL ORGANIZER OF TOP LEVEL EVENTS, A SERIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISES. Consider the following: Danailov introduced shorter time controls and the bilbao scoring system, both of which arguably favor Topalov's risky style of playing. Think of how many games he won in the opponent's time trouble in dubious positions (last game of Kamsky match comes to mind). Also, Danaiov can choose whom to invite to his tournaments, arguably favoring players that are not known to be dangerous to Topalov. For example, Kramnik is never invited. How convenient.
Do you remember the Grand Slam press conference during Corus 2009? It was announced that Nanjing 2008 RETROACTIVELY functions as qualifier for the Grand Slam Final 2009, and thus its winner, Topalov, is the first player seeded into the final. And all that in the middle of Corus, when all the players are working hard to win the tournament, attempting to qualify for the same final. Needless to say, there were no such announcements during Corus 2010, and the selection process of the players (and the number of players) is still in the air.
Talking about fair qualification and changing rules in the middle of a cycle...
Now, the logical consequences of Toiletgate SHOULD have been: Topalov not allowed to participate in rated events for one or two years, and Danailov not allowed to organize rated events for the same period. Or - that might have happened if chess had been an olympic sport. Instead, FIDE gave them a "warning" and congratulated them for their willingness to cooperate with the investigation committee. The real results are well-known: Topalov, who never won a World Championship Match, but only lost one, was seeded directly into a very convenient semi-final match with a player outside the top 20, and now playing a direct match with the current champion, while the rest of the elite players are still waiting to know if and when there will be a sixth Grand Prix tournament or an eventual Candidates Tournament.
Now, with regard to investigations, some things will always remain a mystery. In San-Luis 2005, Toplaov's claim to fame, he sat in the same chair throughout the first half of the tournament, in which he made his +6 score that earned him the title. Several players (notably Morozevich) complained about secret eye-contact with the audience and alleged computer-assistance, but no one investigated. Later, when the video from Corus 2007 and the article on Danailov's sign language came out - things got public and even Kasparov said that it should be investigated. But apparently the political situation in the chess world is such that some individuals are not allowed to be investigated.
As for the fact that a World Championship Match is being organized by the same person who is the manager of the Challenger - I don't think such overt conflict of interest occurs in any other international sport at the top level. So even before giving such interviews that are disrespectful for the opponent there are serious problems in the nature of the situation.
Does anyone remember Henrik Carlsen's words when FIDE changed the rules of the Grand Prix? He wished for Fairness, Predictability, Transparency. I'm afraid we're still very far from this in the chess world.

Not responding verbally to the opponent's offer is by no means rude. A standard way of declining the offer is to simply make another move. I'm sure you're well aware of this, Arne. Whether or not Topalov will take this to the next level (not shaking hands, or something like that) we will see.
Also, I recall Anand also saying a couple of not-so-gentlemanly things in a recent interview, but I don't remember what or where.
4 years 1 month ago
Who is Danailov indirectly referring old and conservative people who dont want to work? Forget all others, that phrase "not wanting to work" definitely sounds disrespectful to whoever he may be referring.
@Coco Loco (and others): of course not responding verbally to a draw offer is nothing special - I don't usually do that either during a game. I don't have particular problems with the whole draw-offering thing, and I never said so.
But Danailov said much more than that, didn't he? Not speaking to Anand at all and saying all these other things about people disagreeing with him is quite another matter. And then there's that smug grin, which, I admit, really irritated me, especially in the light of Danailov's previous provocations and allegations.
By the way, if you think my words were harsh, check out what The Closet Grandmaster writes about Topalov's coach! :-)
@bird, Manu: the article is not intended as an objective piece of journalism, that's why it's called a column.
@?Bert de Bruut
Are you read my previous post or you just want to tell me how much you dislike Danailov i Topalov ?
You may hate what you want but argues like how Danailov smile during interview is funny. I for example dont probably like how you grandmother looks but never say that she cant cook with face like this.
Chour of biased fans is in action...
Arne, when you find 3 milion euro for match then you can teach us what is gentlemen and what is not so. Kamski has no any problems in Sofia but here appriory haters/including you/ teach us that in Sofia will be very sad to play.
So Arne, Sofia is for your information capital of one of oldest european countries. And for your information bulgarians are more hospitable than dutchs... This is just for your information. Bulgaria is not Russia.Sofia is not Elista.
I expect great match with enough respect from players to oponent. Anything other is just jabber.

Anand Please crush Topalov without any mercy and it would be the right answer.
Sherman, exaggerating the prize fund of the match by 1 million euros isn't exacty helping your credibility, and I'm sure Bulgaria's ranking on the World's Corruption Index (as compared to, say, The Netherlands) isn't either. Anyway, all this is completely beside the point. As Kasparov once argued, there could be a prize fund of 10 or 15 million euros and the match could be held in Medellin or Pyongyang. Would this make the organizers any more 'gentlemanly'? Money doesn't buy good manners, you know.

1) I see a bit of discrepancy between these two statements you made:
column: "It's a remarkable statement: Anand – forced against his will to comply to rules that are not official"
comment: "I don't have particular problems with the whole draw-offering thing"
Sofia rules are designed to prevent from ending the game early by agreement between both players. If one of them wants to continue playing this is not a new "not official rule" and "Sofia rules" are not needed. Not making/accepting draw offers is already part of the game and Topalov is within his rights to play for as long as he wants. Don't see how is Anand forced to play to rules that are not official.
2) Then farther down you wrote:
"But the most remarkable is that Danailov says that Topalov will not only refuse to offer any draws but also will ignore his opponent altogether: "He will not speak to him." In other words, he will drop all courtesy and normal etiquette and create a 'non-speaking terms' atmosphere in a match in his home country"
You are really twisting Danailov's words. At no point did he say that Topalov " will ignore his opponent altogether". If you listen again to the entire video, I'm sure Danailov was trying to say that (a) Topalov will not make draw offers, (b) if Anand makes a draw offer Topalov will not "reply" to it. He did not mean Topalov will not speak at all to Anand and totally ignore him. On the other hand, are they even allowed to talk to each other during a game? Also did Anand and Kramnik follow "proper etiquette" and talk to each other during their games in Bonn (excluding draw offers)?
3) "It's a fallacy Frans de Waal convincingly demolishes in his book, showing how cooperation and social interaction are absolutely crucial to succeed in any job and society, and are in fact measures by which we judge people and choose them as colleagues, friends or mates."
This is totally not applicable to opponents in any competitive event. I don't see how cooperation and social interaction fit in this case. Making & accepting draw offers seems the only way to please de Wall and yourself in the context of the interview you are dissecting. if you are talking about Danailov's ECU candidacy, there is no need to beat around the bush.
4) I actually thought it was nice of Danailov to let Anand know in advance there will be no draw offers from Topalov instead of doing it at the board during the match regardless of the fact that Anand or you may find it disrespectful.
5) Danailov did not come on charging at Anand. He was answering a question about Sofia rules & the WCC match (unless he told the interviewer to ask him about this before the interview). BTW I also have problems with the way Danailov acts in general (not so much in this interview) and wish Topalov had better spoken and more tactful manager, but this is not going to happen.

Spring 2012: Giambattista Valli, Emanuel Ungaro
FirstView View Gallery
(PARIS) Giambattista Valli
A frothy dose of brocade served over ice—rather, in an icy palate of quietly decadent ivories—glided down the runway at Giambattista Valli. Hemlines were brief, for the most part, but the collection was long on mélanges of luxuriant textiles—mostly monochromatic swaths of creamy embroidery, tufts of feathering, intricate bejeweling and flouncy baby doll skirting made for a modern fantasy, wearable but fanciful. The cleanly cut shifts, shells and matching cropped trou, plus flared A-line coats smacked of the '60s, but more unexpected notes like peplum-laden zebra prints and chain-linked stilettos felt thoroughly modern. Bravo!
Emanuel Ungaro
Teamwork behind the scenes, design-wise, produced the kind of hallmark Ungaro prints and pigments befitting of the brand's heritage. Bursts of blown-up teal and cobalt florals kicked things off, followed by a procession of mottled watercolor washes in the same cool color family. Silhouettes spanned the gamut, to versatile but slightly distracting effect: jumpsuits wedged between sequin-shouldered body-con minidresses and slinky ruched sheaths, and squiggles of contrastive ruffles edged many a neckline. But things got far more interesting once the plumes of red hit the runway, playing off of pale blue on high-necked sheaths and sexier tight, knotted, and cutout versions. A few little red dresses later, a sparkly finale of spangled, metallic and white bid adieu until next season with a bold brush of classic Ungaro spirit.

This principle is enshrined in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. It provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.
NATO invoked Article 5 of the Washington Treaty for the first time in its history following the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.
