Far more than ordinary spring water, Avene is rooted in dermatology and hydrotherapy, backed by more than 300 clinical studies. Avène Thermal Spring Water originates as rain. The water then takes a 40-year journey through the Cevennes Mountain aquifer which produces thermal spring water ideally suited for the care and management of sensitive skin. It gradually becomes infused with trace elements and silicates, achieving a perfectly balanced mineral composition ideal for sensitive skin. Enriched with the nutrient-rich water and a host of natural supportive ingredients, the Avene skin care range features formulas for a wide variety of skin concerns, including dehydration, hypersensitivity and excessive oil production.
We strongly suggest that you visit a medical skin care professional for a complete skin diagnosis before purchasing Avene products.

Avene Customer ReviewsWaste of Money - 4/23/2014 9:46:42 PM Take a look at the ingredient list. You will see that Retinol is next to last, which means this over-priced gunk is mostly water and fillers. You can buy Retinol in other forms without a prescription. I am returning this one. You have use a lot of it to cover your face. It does not spread evenly. I hated the other products from this company, which stunk and did nothing. If you want water for your skin, buy filtered water and a spritzer.Good for keratosis pilarus - 3/22/2014 8:40:52 AM If you have these fun little bumps on your arms, you've probably tried a hundred products. Try one more! This one actually works; my arms are feeling smoother after just a few days. It is slightly sticky, so I wear it to bed. It's not as thick (pro) as other products I have tried, and it doesn't have a medicinal smell. For what it's supposed to do, this is a great product.I love Avene! - 1/9/2014 10:26:39 AM This is another Avene product to have!!! I absolutely adore the way it absorbs and the protection it gives to my skin.comfort but not a cure - 1/4/2014 2:02:18 AM Other review sites heavily hype this product as one that can essentially "cure" eczema and other volatile skin conditions. This is definitely not true. It also doesn't provide sufficient moisture in the really tough places, like elbows. It is, however, a better than average lotion with excellent anti-itch properties. If just the itch is bugging you and you have other ways to address the condition itself, this could be the ideal lotion for you. If you're looking to address scar issues and repair your skin, I recommend Topix Replenix Green Tea body lotion instead.good for problem skin - 1/4/2014 1:58:01 AM This product is excellent for setting makeup, and reviving it later in the day when skin begins to look tired. I also use it post-shaving, and when winter makes my skin bright red and irritated. I was skeptical, and tried to convince myself it must just be water in a bottle and couldn't possibly have anti-irritant properties, or lasting moisturizing effects -- but it truly has both. Definitely well worth the price!I don't understand Avene anymore... - 11/25/2013 2:18:40 PM Avene used to be my favorite skincare. It didn't improve the skin texture or firm the skin very well, but it does its own job fantastically; it calms down my skin and gets it back to normal so I can use other more effective products. I guess now Avene decides to develop its own "more effective" products to keep its customers and carry way more products than before, most of which, however, aren't appealing to me at all. I don't understand why a cleanser supposed to be designed for sensitive skins has so much fragrance and dye in it. It is your quality rather than the blue color that calms down our skin, right? The most calming face cream for sensitive skin, instead, got discontinued. And I even started getting allergic to some of the Avene's.Meh... - 11/25/2013 2:01:08 PM Very heavy texture. Didn't feel effective or relieved. Might not purchase again.Does calms - 11/25/2013 1:58:37 PM It does calms down any kind of adverse reaction I have, even the cracked lips.My new favorite with Avene - 11/25/2013 1:48:05 PM It is nice and absorbs very well despite its heavy and waxy texture. It calms down my allergic skin and gives it a nice feel and look. Works well under foundation. Haven't seen any scar repair effect though.Not for me - 11/25/2013 1:43:47 PM I've never got a problem with any Avene product - until this one. I'm allergic to it! I usually use Avene as my recovery system when my skin turns sensitive to other products and I always feel comfortable and safe with Avene. However, when my favorite, the one for intolerant skin is discontinued and I switched to this, my skin got stings and burns with it. And what's worse is, I can't feel it absorbed; it seems to just stay on the surface of my skin. I then switched to Avene Cicalfate. Will not purchase again.
Learn More About Avene
For centuries, people have been aware of the healing properties of the spring water found in the small town of Avene, which is situated in the south of France. The anecdotal tales that grew up around the spring water have been supported in recent years by rigorous scientific studies. The water has been shown to contain high levels of silica and trace elements, which protect and shield the skin. It also has a low mineral content, making it suitable for use on sensitive skin.
Avene products are particularly suited to sensitive, reactive, intolerant or allergic skin. The gentle, water-based treatments have a soothing and healing effect on the skin that reduces redness and irritation, leaving skin feeling calm and soft. To give tight, dry skin an instant boost, you can simply spray Avene spring water directly on to your skin. Alternatively, you can build an entire skin care regimen using Avene products. From cleansers and exfoliators to moisturizers and targeted treatments, you can enhance your complexion with the Avene range.
As well as a comprehensive range of skin treatments for women, Avene offers a men's range that helps to soothe skin that has been irritated by shaving. Prior to shaving, use Avene shaving foam or shaving gel to soften the bristles and prepare the skin. Aftershave balm or fluid helps to heal and nurture the skin after the shaving process is complete. Avene Dermo K can help to reduce the number of ingrown hairs that can be caused by shaving.

Blood transfusion set, United States, 1933-1943
A high number of civilian and military casualties required lifesaving blood transfusions during the Second World War (1939-1945). This prompted significant international developments in the transfusion and storage of blood. This blood transfusion set was made by Baxter laboratories in the US. It was adapted for taking blood as well as transfusing it. This removed the need to transfer blood from one container to another for infusion. A needle was attached to the rubber tubing. 10cc of sodium citrate was drawn into the glass jar (called a 'vacoliter') by pumping the rubber bulb. Sodium citrate stopped the blood clotting, allowing it be stored for several days. The needle was inserted into a vein in the donor's arm and blood was drawn into the vacoliter, again by pumping the rubber bulb. It was then ready for transfusion.

Message from the Master
The Worshipful Company of Bowyers can trace its detailed history back to 1363 when the craft of making longbows first appeared on the list of taxation for the City of London. Prior to that the first bowyer to be recorded is that of Ivo le Bowyre in 1293.
During the hundred years war and the great victories at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, when the longbow was at its zenith, the Company enjoyed unparalleled success supplying the medieval archer with the tools of his trade.
Today the Bowyers' Company prides itself with being involved in many charitable and educational activities and upholding the traditions of the City of London by supporting the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs and the Corporation of London in promoting the City in a modern day environment.
I trust you will find our web site interesting and informative and if you would like to know more about us please feel free to contact the Clerk.

|300 cd/m²
|Response time (GtG)?
|VGA inputs?
|DVI-D inputs?
|DVI-I inputs?
|HDMI inputs
|UPC / EAN code(s)
- Size (Size in inches)
The diagonal of the display in inches.
- Contrast (Contrast ratio)
Contrast is the difference between the brightest and darkest areas of the image. Contrast is given as a ratio between the brightest and the darkest areas, e.g. 800:1, and the higher the number the better the contrast.
- Aspect (Aspect ratio)
Aspect ratio is the width to height ratio of the projected image. Most often the aspect ratio is either 16:9 (widescreen) or 4:3. See more here
- Resolution (Native resolution)
Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels of the display area. Unlike older CRT monitors, flat screen monitors display information well only at the resolution they are designed for (a.k.a. the native resolution). This is due to the structure of the display, which has a fixed set of both vertical and horizontal dots (corresponding the resolution). If the resolution is changed, the display needs to scale the image to fit the screen.
- Brightness (Brightness)
Brightness (luminance) measures the amount of light the display produces. It is given as candelas per square meter (cd/m2). Usually the monitor with a higher luminance is concidered to be better one. A high luminance (such as 500 cd/m2) is desirable, if the monitor is used for viewing movies or other such entertainment.
- Response time (GtG) (Response time)
The response rate indicates how fast the monitor's pixels can change colors and it is measured as the time it takes for a pixel to change from one color to another and back. The rate is given as the transformation speed from Gray-to-Gray (GtG) in milliseconds (ms). Faster is better as it reduces the so called ghosting effect of a moving image (i.e. the trail or "ghost" of the previous image that stays is still faintly visible on the background).
- VGA inputs (Number of VGA inputs (D-sub))
A VGA connector (aka D-sub 15) is an analog three-row 15 pin DE-15 connector commonly used in video cards of computers, and thus it is a connection option that is almost always available.
- DVI-D inputs (Number of DVI-D inputs)
DVI-D input is the digital subversion of the DVI connector/cable and comes in two versions: a so called single link cable that supports a 1920x1080 image, and a dual link cable/connection that supports up to a 2048x1536 image. If the monitor has a digital-only DVI, make sure your video adapter supports DVI-D or DVI-I.
- USB hub (Does the monitor include an integrated USB hub)
Some modern displays have an integrated USB Hub, which makes it possible to connect different USB-devices (e.g. memory stick, mouse, keyboard) to the (side or the stand of the) display.
- Pivot (Does the device have pivot functionality (screen can be rotated 90 degrees))
Pivot functionality allows user to turn the screen 90 degrees without adjusting the monitor's stand. Pivot feature is extremely useful for people who use their monitors to read long documents, scanned documents, etc that are typically in U.S. Letter or A4 form.
- DVI-I inputs (Number of DVI-I inputs)
The DVI-I input is a digital DVI input that supports both the analog (DVI-A) and digital (DVI-D) subversion of the standard.
- HDCP (HDCP support)
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a DRM system designed to stop the unencrypted transmission of high definition video content from a source like a Blu-ray player and a display monitor. HDCP is used with DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI interfaces. All HDMI devices are bound to implement the DRM system. The lack of HDCP support may result in downgrade of video quality or even no playback at all.
- Panel type (Panel type)
There are many different panel technologies used in the production of LCD monitors. When buying a monitor, one should find out the panel type used, as it has a large effect on the specifications, performance, and on the price of the monitor as well. Different panel types are suitable for different kind of uses. The three most common main types of panels are (roughly in order from best to worst) S-IPS, S-PVA/MVA, and TN.

WHRO RECEIVES GRANT FROM ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATIONPublic Broadcaster one of twenty-one recipients awarded grants from a new initiative
NORFOLK: WHRO, Hampton Roads' public broadcaster, is one of twenty-one recipients from across the nation recently awarded grants from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two-year grant is part of a new multimillion-dollar initiative from the prestigious philanthropy and is the first grant WHRO has received from the Foundation. WHRO's Center for Regional Citizenship will apply the funds to on-going efforts to impact the issue of childhood obesity in Hampton Roads and specifically the Western Tidewater area. The grant calls for working within diverse faith communities to advance community policies or environmental changes that aim to increase access to healthy foods and safe places to play, with an emphasis on reaching those children who are at the highest risk for obesity. The initiative will be implemented through a partnership between the WHRO Center for Regional Citizenship and the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy. The Interfaith Center is a nonpartisan coalition of faith communities working to create change through education and advocacy. Established in 1982, The Interfaith Center is the only statewide, nonpartisan, interfaith partnership focused on social policy in Virginia, and only the second such organization doing this unique work in the country. Faith communities have a rich history of working together for social change. Faith-based coalitions have been at the forefront of local and state efforts on social issues such as homelessness, hunger and poverty. Today there is emerging energy among faith communities to advocate for improved food, nutrition and environmental policies. Part of WHRO's Community Engagement Department, the Center for Regional Citizenship has focused outreach efforts in the Western Tidewater area for the past year, following the debut of its documentary, SURVIVING ABUNDANCE: Overweight Kids in Crisis. A grant from the Obici Healthcare Foundation has enabled the Center to work with early childhood education providers and elementary schools to encourage policy and practice changes that support more healthy choices for children. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant allows the Center to build upon this work and involve the broader Western Tidewater. Eventually materials and best practices will be made available region wide. The WHRO documentary, SURVIVING ABUNDANCE: Overweight Kids in Crisis, is available on demand on the WHRO website, whro.org or at survivingabundance.org.

- My thoughtsThe price is unbeatable, low profile, & light weight on my SR16. A must buy accessory for your AEG.
- Best Deal for your MoneyI just got this sight, and I must say that it is absolutely awesome.
Initial impressions: very lightweight, and the polymer housing feels rock solid. Really compact too, so it can be mounted on practically anything.
I've got it mounted as a back-up sight on the scope of my Real Sword SVD, and it was very easy to mount (only one bolt) and very easy to adjust. As for brightness, it only has two settings, but even on the lowest setting the green dot can be seen clearly in broad daylight. Looks awesome, too.
For the price, it can't be beat. I can't find this sight for the same price anywhere! Shorty's shipping was also fast, I ordered it on Monday and it showed up on Thursday.
Buy this sight, 5/5!
- EpicThis Thing Is Beast!
- Just greatToo start it off, this is the best sight on the market for how cheap you are getting it for.I was shooting in my backyard and I was aiming at a door nob with my m4 CQC from 50 ft. I hit it eight out of ten shots semiautomatic. And that's out of the box, I didn't even sight it in yet. If you don't get the picture, it's very accurate and I recommend this sight to anyone pro or beginner.
That's all, just get the sight you won't regret it.

A Dark Reading Webcast:
Cyber Attacks: Are You Really Safe?
Duration: 60 Minutes
Are you ready for the coming Cyber War?
Attacks against financial institutions and other critical commercial institutions are just the beginning. The big question is how are they doing it?
These sophisticated cyber attacks are resource-intensive for cyber criminals. So, they are now using advanced evasion techniques (AETs) to protect their investment and stay under the radar. And recent testing has proven that most network security is unable to stop AETs.
Join us for the informative session to learn the following:
All attendees will receive a link to download a free, ready-made evasion test lab to use in their own environments.
About Evasion Techniques:
An evasion is an attempt to disguise an attack, in order to avoid detection and blocking by network security systems. Evasions can be used in normal requests, as well as in attacks. An attack consists of a delivery mechanism (e.g. a buffer overflow) and a malicious payload (e.g. code that is executed by the victim computer). An attack is considered successful if the delivery mechanism succeeds in gaining access to the victim computer, regardless of whether the security device detects or responds to the attack.

Anand has arrived in Sofia (UPDATE)
Viswanathan Anand has arrived in Sofia. In the last days he and his team travelled for 40 hours by bus, from Frankfurt to the Bulgarian capital. "You can imagine he's very tired, so at the moment he's sleeping," delegation leader Hans-Walter Schmitt told us. In the meantime FIDE Deputy President Georgios Makropoulos has spoken out. Update: the organizing committee sticks to their initial response, and refused postponement in a new statement.
Photo: Christian Bossert
After a long and tough travel, which took 40 hours, Anand and his team have reached Sofia, delegation leader Hans-Walter Schmitt told us by phone. Schmit had arrived in Sofia last Thursday, taking one of the last flights possible from Germany to Sofia, before the volanic ash closed almost all of Europe's airports.
"Going through Austria and Hungary went smoothly," Schmitt says. "However, after that the team encountered some problems with visas. And the roads in Romania are very bad, I can tell you." The World Champion's team had arranged a bus to make the long trip, for which the theoretical 18.5 hours of travelling time given by Google Maps proved much too optimistic, especially when the whole of Europe is travelling by train or car. "The organizers said it was easy to reach Sofia, but I can tell you that it was not, under these circumstances," Schmitt added.
The Bulgarian organizers were surprised that they were informed only on Sunday about the travel problems of the Anand team. "But you have to realize that on Friday and Saturday it was completely unclear what the volcano was going to do," says Schmitt. "At first we decided to wait, but then on Sunday morning we decided to go over land. Then we immediately informed them and FIDE."
Schmitt added that he couldn't say too much yet, because Aruna Anand was preparing an official statement which would be published on the All Indian Chess Federation's website later today. This has been published by now:
World champion Viswanathan Anand has reached Sofia, the Bulgarian capital after a 40-hour road journey from Germany as flights were cancelled due to the volcanic ash floating across European airspace resulting in cancellation of flights.
The 40-year old world champion and his wife are obviously very tired after such a long journey by road and hoped the organisers would accept their reasonable request of postponement of the game by three days. Anand is not used to travelling such distances on road and not giving a three day postponement could give challenger Veselin Topalov a significant advantage.
Anand had planned to reach the venue on April 16 which is one week before the first game on April 23. Now he arrived four days behind due to factors beyond his control and has wanted a three day postponement.The road route selected to reach Sofia was done after a look into the visas they had on their passport.
Anand might miss the press conference but will attend the opening ceremony according to his wife Aruna Anand. Not rescheduling the games will mean Topalov could have the same advantage which Anatoly Karpov enjoyed in the World Title match at Lausanne in 1998.
"The news from us is that we reached here safely," said Aruna Anand on the phone.
Had Alexander Alekhine been in Anand's place, he would have sought a postponement of atleast a week as world champions ruled and challengers were at the mercy of champions. Such natural calamities had not occurred during world championships.
Sometimes a handicap is a better way to start a match and Anand can turn the disadvantage into a driving force in the 12-game series.
Yesterday FIDE Deputy President Georgios Makropoulos spoke to Chessdom about the recent developments. On Anand's travelling problems, and request for a postponement, Makropoulos said:
Of course, we understand that this creates big problems for his preparation because in such matches you need to be there several days before the start. You cannot just go the day before and start playing. You come with your people, you start to adjust to the conditions, and you try to be organized in order to play the match. I understand this very well, he needs several days, therefore in the contract it says that he can come 7 days before (last Friday). And he was preparing to come last Friday via Madrid - Frankfurt - Sofia flight. He could not get the connection from Frankfurt because it was cancelled.
I believe we have very good understanding, with all sides helping resolve the situation. Sergiev is very cooperative, Danailov as well, Aruna and Anand too. Everybody understands and cooperates. They see the problems of the other side. The one of Anand is obvious, this is force majeure. But on the other side, to postpone the match for three days will create very big problems for the organizers because they already have their contracts with TV, people that are involved with the organization, hotels, transportation agencies and they have already published the brochures and posters, the original schedule is everywhere. The politicians and everyone who want to attend the opening ceremony or will come for the first move of the first round, knows the schedule, they have arranged their time, so everybody will be forced to make radical changes if we go for postponement. All of us understand very well what is going on and we have good communication.
Having "good communication" is something, but what really becomes clear is that FIDE is reluctant to take a decision on the postponement at this point. We'll have to await further developments.
Update 17:19 CET: the organizing committee sticks to their initial response, and refused postponement in a new statement:
Communication from the Organizing Committee
The Organizing Committee responsible for the organization of the FIDE World Chess Championship Match in Sofia got acquainted with the arising situation regarding the beginning of the match, because the world champion Mr. Anand arrived late in the city.
During the official FIDE congress in Kallithea (Greece) in November 2009, the World Championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Veselin Topalov was scheduled for 5th of April 2010. At the instance of Mr. Anand the starting date was changed to 21st of April 2010.
This chess event has exceptional meaning not only for the chess community all over the world but also for Bulgaria as a country. Therefore the whole organization of this event is under the direct leadership of the Bulgarian Prime Minister - Mr. Boyko Borisov who is also the Chairman of the Organizing Committee.
All official guests and sponsors of the event have made their travel arrangements and plans so they can participate at the official Opening Ceremony on April 21st, 2010 and also at the first game on April 23rd, 2010. Possible change of these dates would deprive them of this opportunity.
For those reasons, is unacceptable to us to make any postponement of the match and change the program for its implementation.
20 April 2010 Organizing Committee
In the mean time we'll embed an interview Anand gave last year to Al-Jazeera's Riz Khan, in the April 10, 2009 show One on one.
Good he did it.
Now he can have his 3 days postponed!

I think the date on YouTube is wrong, as Anand makes references that leads me to believe it was taped last year. But it's well worth watching.

@SXL In fact the YouTube date is probably right, which means the interview was conducted exactly a year ago. I've mentioned that in the article.

Make the openning ceremony in order to execute the main arrangements and then give Anand a full week.
4 years 1 day ago
Anand likes a challenge. He likes to give himself as big a disadvantage as possible. On the day before the first game he will run a marathon.
4 years 1 day ago
Haha. What a joke and what extent the cheats at Bulgarian Chess Federation will go to make the field uneven.
What "understanding" is Georgios Makropoulos talking about? All so very bureaucratic -
"Ah, you see we understand, but we cannot . . ."
"Ah, you see we can really understand, but we really cannot ...."
"Ah, you see we can really, really understand, but we really, really cannot ...."
What a joke.
So they would'nt postphone, right. Losers.
"Why on earth travel on bus?" - What size if the team accompanying him?
"Why no full year?" - Yeah, right, it might well be with the volcano spitting up, only this is not your backyard game of chess.
4 years 1 day ago
I believe he traveled by bus so that he could accommodate the entire team of seconds, Aruna, baggage, computers etc. to arrive in Sofia as a single unit and also the bus probably gave him sufficient space to sleep and also do some practice!.
Bus ride is a way to remembering his root and like "test" says, give him a big challenge!
After this saga, we may concluded that this volcano story was a great marketing tool. Who know!?
P.S. I heard that Topalov will play with sunglasses. lol
now anand have a full 3 days for rest so everything will be ok for the first game on 23-th. i wish to him and to topalov good luck and let we see a gret fighting chess from them!
4 years 1 day ago
they just didn't provide any reasons in that extra letter. It basicly says that, yeah, the event is planned to this date, we don't want to change it, and we are writing some other stuff here so we seem to say something new and relevant but in fact we aren't. What super frustrating people to have to deal with.
But, the decision must be FIDE's and not the bulgarians, or am I missing something?
4 years 1 day ago
I was waiting to see how much more graceful their Prime Minister is compared to the others in the Org committee who have been issuing statements left and right on this issue. Now we know the answer. At least they spared us remarks from the head on the reasons why the postponement could not be done. So, it is all clear - they will take whatever benefit they can out of the situation. Time to see if FIDE will show some spine. Going by their track record it would be a huge surprise if they did.
4 years 1 day ago
Well, if FIDE now postpones the match, what happens if the organizers call for reimbursements? If this goes to a court, and since Anand has arrived in Sofia, can force majeure be claimed?
4 years 1 day ago
FIDE Deputy President Georgios Makropoulos:
Point 1- " Everybody understands and cooperates. They see the problems of the other side. The one of Anand is obvious, this is force majeure. "
Point 2- "You cannot just go the day before and start playing. ... in the contract it says that he can come 7 days "
The overseeing body (FIDE) publically admitting that the situation is a Force majeure AND that he has contractual right to arrive 7 days before the match was a legal mistake. This is one reason lawyers tell people to say nothing.
It seems to me that the control now is totally in Anand's court.
He could claim breach of contract if the organizers refuse his request for a delay and walk away, probably with the minimum fee for playing to boot.
Anand has shown good faith by taking the bus to complete the contract. I suspect a court would side with Anand in any legal proceeding so now the organziers have to make a sacrifice too.
4 years 1 day ago
"not giving a three day postponement could give challenger Veselin Topalov a significant advantage"
This is a huge exageration, and just re-shows, by one of the parts involved, the undesirable acceptance of a "war on nerves", which the other part also showed, of course.
Children not behaving. Chess will continue elsewhere :-(
hah "extra", why you continue to speak about the bulgarians?? anand is already in sofia, so he have 3 days for rest befere the first game. the organizing of the worlf championship match is difficult challenge and the dates and contracts are strict. if anand was goes to travil by car (or bus) on 16th or 17th he were come in sofia on 18th or 19th, which means 4-5 days for rest before the first game. this is problem of his own team, not for the organizers! nevertheless he still have 3 days before the first game, so this is enough!
Im Not dead yet
4 years 1 day ago
Is anyone else feeling like this is the start of a Monty Python skit...?
Organizing committee as the Knights who say Ni!
FIDE as the Brave Sir Robin
"All official guests and sponsors of the event have made their travel arrangements and plans so they can participate at the official Opening Ceremony on April 21st, 2010 and also at the first game on April 23rd, 2010. "
Anand should (would?) probably refuse to play the first game on principle (if not postponed) and let the "official guests" enjoy their "participation".
These people who say "3 days is enough".... how do they know that?? Have they ever played a 12 game match (let alone the World Championship match)?
BTW, have the official guests actually arrived? According to an interview with Makropoulos, even Ilyumzhinov may or may not come (in time).
please stop to cry for anand. in whole europe all sport games and tournaments are not change the dates, and the players travel with a bus. who ask them? they play for money, they are profesionals, anand too! he is already in sofia, he have a 3 full days for rest, so he can prove that he is great player and champion. so stop to cry and ask for more days (why not years...) they play for 2.000.000 EUR, everything is fixed and there are not problem the first game to start on 23th
Impressive, they actually managed to issue a statement without directly insulting Anand. However, I fail to see how they answer in any way to the issue raised by Anand. They're basically saying:
"We heard that Anand was late. We have already accepted a postponement of the game from the 5th to the 21st earlier this year. Our boss for this important even is really an important person himself. Everything has been tightly scheduled and therefore we cannot postpone anything."
Oh, a lot of people here behave like kids! Even Anand understands the situation! This chess event means a lot to Bulgaria, i.e. it means more than a mere WCC. Now imagine you are having important political delegates, artists, etc, that confirmed their presence at the opening ceremony and first game. How do you tell these VIP that they can just go to a restaurant instead? Especially having all the players in the city?! It´s a disrespect to the VIP´s! I´m sure Anand understands this as well. The "bulgarians" (please stop calling them like that, is an insult to the whole country) are being perfectly reasonable and FYI life has its own difficulties and just because you had some trouble doesnt means the whole world must stop to try to make you feel comfortable.
4 years 1 day ago
If the organizing committee considers the Bulgarian Prime Minister, guests and TV are more important than the player, what kind of organizing committee is this? Their statement is looking like a child's cry, repeating the same thing again and again without understanding the situation. I wish Anand should not play if they don't consider his request.
4 years 1 day ago
I have this feeling that this is just the beginning. The closer the time approaches for the first game, the more I understand Kramnik, who said he would never play with Topalov in Bulgaria.
I´d say the president or prime minister of any country, especially if of the host country, is indeed very important! But your blinded biased minds do not see it.
I'm with Tony, and I see in the makropoulos statement more than enough reason to postpone (or force it afterwards in a court)
Now we see 'the bulgarians' raising the stakes by namedropping their national president. Every chess player should have enough poker knowledge to see the losing hand bluffing towards an all-in. My advice would to Anand would be, just call.
To most of ya... keep dreaming about the court! What a ridiculous statement! ROFL!
Its not the court Vesco, that would be afterwards and compkletly administrative anyway.
Its the mere fact that lawyers start sensing where the pain is centred, which will do the damage for the bulgarian site.
We don't give a **** about the schedule of the Bulgarian PM. Let him come some other time. He anyways seems to have no work other than organizing a Chess Tournament. And who cares about the Bulgarians coming up with the bid for the match because without their bid Anand would continue to be the champ without a match :)
(I was not intending to shout at chessdom offcourse, but at the bulgarian side, pardon my dunglish)
All the Bulgarians are active on Chessvibes. Actually some 200 of them who have Internet connection, including their PM :) :)
@Vesco: I guess the first game would be postponed if both players managed to arrive as planned, but the prime minister is late or cannot make it?
The issue isn't whether he is (very) important, but whether he is more important than one of the players. In other words: making a symbolic first move seems more important than playing an entire high-quality and high-stakes game?

"How do you tell these VIP that they can just go to a restaurant instead? Especially having all the players in the city?! It´s a disrespect to the VIP´s!"
Considering the fact that no sane man, with an exception of chess players themselves, would rather watch two adult men moving wooden figurines about than eating in a fine restaurant, the VIPs would be delighted, if not delivered.
This argument about VIP's is really quite ridiculous. Whoever are these VIPs, they should really be able to stay a few days more in the wonderful city of Sofia; enjoy the week-end, the spring, the great architecture and the many great restaurants there. The only Very Important Persons that should matter are Anand and Topalov.
The job of competent organizers is to deal with the unexpected and re-organize things so that the event can run smoothly. Now it looks like they have achieved the exact opposite. The World Championship is seriously compromised. They should be sacked.
"If Anand refuse to play Kramnik get his spot."
That means that Anand soon as possible will play.
4 years 1 day ago
Anand is too nice. He should have stopped on the border of Bulgaria, taken a couple of days rest, and rolled in on the last day.
Heh heh, give Topalov something to stress about.
4 years 1 day ago
I don´t understand why you all make stress out of this situation, Anand is there now let´s enjoy the games. Anand should not feed the Bulgarian trolls, otherwise toiletgate II will happen. He should just play, yes... PLAY. That´s why he is there and i think he´s very motivated to play Topalov otherwise i wouldn´t understand why he got there with bus.
Let´s hope for some epic games! :D
4 years 1 day ago
If Anand refuses to play, Topalov can play with the VVIPs because they have allotted their valuable time, that should not go waste.
4 years 1 day ago
Its force majeure, people. Anand will just have to accept his bad luck and give his best shot at beating Topalov.
What I'd liked to have seen was a more active organizing commitee from the start. They should have contacted Anand day one and offered to help him.

What an incredible statement! How in the world is this related to the current situation? This is totally ridiculous and shows how they will treat any problems that may arise during the match.
I can understand that the OC doesn't like the idea of postponing. If I was the organizer it would certainly give me nightmares. But what a completely out of context nonsense. Are these really the people who are making decisions?
The whole organizational situation has given me the feeling that Anand is up against the Bulgarian OC and FIDE, because the Topalov camp has excellent connections to both. The official website shows nothing but Topalov and his friends. And I am sure that the OC does absolutely nothing that has not been approved by mr. Danailov.
By the way, why did Anand not inform the world about his problems earlier? Well, I was in a similar state of mind: I learnt that my flight was cancelled, but that it was expected that on Friday the 16th the airport would be opened again by noon. Then on the Friday morning, it was expected that the airport would be opened again by 8 pm, etc., etc. In other words, I was made believe that I would be able to travel with less than half a day delay. Four days later, we're still not flying.
Who is more important, the organisers who bring up money to sponsor an event and pay the players; or the players (World Champion) who come to make money.
Until chess has the same corporate association like Football, tennis or golf; Beggars cannot be Choosers.
Let's remember, chess is a non-profitable sport!?

Why are the Bulgarians such ---deleted---?
Sorry for my language but that is really the way I feel.

@Peter Dodgers: Would you do something with previous post? Or words like these are normaly when refer to Bulgarian nation?

Because all the important cronies there are typical post-Soviet corruptocrats. Same thing all over the fSU.
1. Logic does not work with Bulgarians.
2. All junior politicians are coming for the opening ceremony to develop some network with the senior politicians. The Senior politicians coming to stand next to the Bulgarian PM and appear in the evening news. The Bulgarian PM is coming because he has no work. He is organizing a Chess Match. Never heard US President is the head of World Basketball Champ or UK Pres organizing Cricket World Cup or French Pres organizing Football World Cup :)
3. In a Bulgarian movie, the hero always knows that the Villain has hidden transmitters in his toilet.

McCain or Obama ?
Normally open July 4th only---the one day a year when partisan politics, religion, etc. are acceptable topics on this Board (within reason). The forum is now closed.
McCain or Obama ?
We might as well have a poll to get an idea of the leanings of the readership !
I believe that Obama is to this election as Bolt was to the Olympic sprints. It's not a question of whether he'll win: rather, it's by how much.
He has significant momentum in the polls and the predicted electoral college victories. I can't see this turning around in a week. For those who are interested in tracking the daily polls statistics leading up to next week, I find these provide good insight:
I agree. We will know for sure Nov. 5th. In the meantime, Obama supporters should keep the pedal to the metal no matter how good the polls look.
I assume that a NASCAR message board would have the oppositee results, but I wonder how the vote would go if this were a golf message board instead of a track and field message board.
Good point, jazz. I suppose I exist in a closed (non-golf) environment but I am surprised at the disparity of the vote here and I too wondered about the demographics of the posters.
The demographics of who is polled is, of course, the reason for the wide range of results. Well, that and the fact people lie in polls to avoid confrontation or to deliberately create misleading data.
The only meaningful poll with be next Tuesday.
I question whether or not the Bradley Effect is real, particularly in this day and age. A lot has changed in 25+ years. From a cursory perusal of the data, it seems that there is just as much of a case for no Bradley effect, or even a reverse-Bradley effect, in modern elections with non-white candidates.
If you really don't get it, check out this thread:
http://mb.trackandfieldnews.com/discuss ... hp?t=33442
This is the fifth election in a row that pitted a war veteran against someone who's never fought in a war, and if Obama wins, the war veterans will be 0-5.
He never came under hostile fire, but he did receive a combat medal that goes to everyone who serves in a combat theater, and once you're there, anything can happen. For example, a friend of mine joined the Air Force in order to avoid action, but he ended up receiving a purple heart from wounds received when his base came under artillery fire during the Tet Offensive. Furthermore, Al Gore enlisted in the Army, unlike another famous, Ivy League son of privilege who joined the National Guard, and he was one of only a dozen of the 1,115 Harvard graduates in the Class of 1969 who went to Vietnam. Gore was lucky enough to avoid getting assigned to an infantry unit, but that's just the luck of the draw. I have another friend who was drafted into the Army, but by the luck of the draw ended up going to Germany instead Vietnam, while guys he went to basic training with came home in body bags.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but The Vet Who Did Not Vet is the best campaign video of the year, IMO.
it certainly is a scientific poll.
it is true that in the last few election cycles military service seems to not be viewed as a big plus (think Clinton Dole or Obama McCain) as it had been previously. This could represent a real change in US public/demographic interests, temperament and values.
Having been in the military, I can tell you that military service is a plus and a minus. You have to put the creative side of your brain in cold-storage most of the time. There is not much room for 'vision'. There's lots of room, however, for 'do this because I told you so' (which is, of course, necessary in time of war, but we're not always at war - it just seems as if we are )
Somewhere on the 'net there's a list of all the countries the US has bombed between 1945-1999 - it's a rather famous postcard for peace protestors. Here's the list:
China (1945-46 & 1950-53), Korea (1950-53), Guatemala (1954 & 1960), Indonesia (1958), Cuba (1959-60), Congo (1964), Peru (1965), Laos (1964-73), Vietnam (1961-73), Cambodia (1969-70), Guatemala (1967-69), Grenada (1983), Libya (1986), El Salvador & Nicaragua (1980's), Panama (1989), Iraq (1991-99), Sudan (1998), Afghanistan (1998), Yugoslavia (1999).
Which might go some way to explaining some of the US's unpopularity abroad.
Of course, you can't say much for Britain either (cancels holiday abroad).
We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. If we stand by and do nothing as atrocities mount elsewhere, we are cowards for letting evil reign. If we go in and get physical, we are the World Police and the biggest bullies on the block. I would rather us err on the side of defending the weak, than worry about how the rest of the world will view our actions. Not that we haven't made some pretty bad decisions, as I believe our current Iraq War is (Iraq One was less iffy).
The problem is that most of those bombings were for our geopolitical self-interest, not altruistic reasons.
I guess the posters on this board are fairly representative of world opinion. Here's how the rest of the world would vote:
And the fact that only one of those interventions (which I think was necessary). resulted in a democratically elected government - in Yugoslavia.
Other Western countries have done similar things - Britain, France & Australia have intervened in quite a few places as well. With greater power comes greater responsibility but also greater opportunity for abuse. Goodness only knows Britain did many dreadful things when we were top dog. Although I think we wanted to "civilize" rather than "democratize"! Plus ca change, etc, etc!
ALL of them were for both. To say they were devoid of any sense of altruism is far more cynical than the issues merit.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I respectfully disagree. The first Iraq War was done for both reasons as was WWII, but I don't see any altruistism at all for the second Iraq War. On the other hand, I see no ulterior motives for our involvement in WWI, Liberia, Somalia and Korsovo. Now I'll admit that my historical knowledge of some of these conflicts isn't as thorough as it could be, but perhaps you can fill me in and change my mind.
Man, you need to take off those red/white/blue glasses once in a while . . .
You have atrocities like Rwanda and Zimbabwe where nobody does anything because it's not in anyones self interest to do so.
I mean, has there ever been a more heinous regime than Afghanistan under the Taliban. It wasn't until 9/11 that the US reacted. I was in full agreement with the action in that case but it should have taken place years before.
As for Iraq the idea that the whole rthing was done for humanitarian reasons is laughable.
To give credit where it's due I do think the intervention in Yugoslavia was entirely justifiable and done for the correct humanitarian reasons rather than what anyone was getting out of it.
Mm... yes, stealing a bit of territory from Yugoslavia - a country not known for its long history of unshaken friendship with the US - and turning it into a NATO military stronghold sounds just like humanitarian action.
Um . . . uh . . . yeah . . .
That's quite a poll, not that it represents the demographics of the American electorate. But it looks like it's going to be a sad World, if McCain pulls off a miracle win. All of the major countries are between 85 and 95 % for Obama.
In fact, 208 out of 211 are pro-Obama, with Albania and Macedonia for McCain, and the two votes from Lesotho are split. That's very striking.
Hey, if the rest of the world is so smart, they don't need our money and support!
Bring home ALL the troops, cut off ALL foreign aid, bonus! Score!
I was for it before I was against it. Or something.
