The present invention relates to optical detection, and more specifically to cavity enhanced optical detection.
Optical detection is the determination of the presence and/or concentration of one or more target species within a sample by illuminating the sample with optical radiation and measuring optical absorption, induced fluorescence, and/or optical scattering by the sample. Optical detection has a wide variety of applications, including spectroscopy and liquid chromatography, and a correspondingly wide variety of optical detection methods are known. Cavity enhanced optical detection entails the use of a passive optical resonator, also referred to as a cavity, to improve the performance of an optical detector. Cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) and cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) are two of the most widely used cavity enhanced optical detection techniques.
The intensity of single-mode radiation trapped within a passive optical resonator decays exponentially over time, with a time constant τ, which is often referred to as the ring-down time. In practice, it is desirable to ensure that only a single resonator mode has an appreciable amplitude, since excitation of multiple resonator modes leads to multi-exponential radiation intensity decay (i.e., multiple time constants), which significantly complicates the interpretation of measurement results. The ring-down time T depends on the cavity round trip length and on the total round-trip optical loss within the cavity, including loss due to absorption and/or scattering by one or more target species within a sample positioned inside the cavity. Thus, measurement of the ring-down time of an optical resonator containing a target species provides spectroscopic information on the target species. Both CRDS and CEAS are based on such a measurement of τ.
In CRDS, an optical source is usually coupled to the resonator in a mode-matched manner, so that the radiation trapped within the resonator is substantially in a single spatial mode. The coupling between the source and the resonator is then interrupted (e.g., by blocking the source radiation, or by altering the spectral overlap between the source radiation and the excited resonator mode). A detector typically is positioned to receive a portion of the radiation leaking from the resonator, which decays in time exponentially with a time constant τ. The time-dependent signal from this detector is processed to determine τ (e.g., by sampling the detector signal and applying a suitable curve-fitting method to a decaying portion of the sampled signal). Note that CRDS entails an absolute measurement of τ. Both pulsed and continuous wave laser radiation can be used in CRDS with a variety of factors influencing the choice. The articles in the book "Cavity-Ringdown Spectroscopy" by K. W. Busch and M. A. Busch, ACS Symposium Series No. 720, 1999 ISBN 0-8412-3600-3, including the therein cited references, cover most currently reported aspects of CRDS technology.
Single spatial mode excitation of the resonator is also usually employed in CEAS, (sometimes called integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS)), but CEAS differs from CRDS in that the wavelength of the source is swept (i.e., varied over time), so that the source wavelength coincides briefly with the resonant wavelengths of a succession of resonator modes. A detector is positioned to receive radiation leaking from the resonator, and the signal from the detector is integrated for a time comparable to the time it takes the source wavelength to scan across a sample resonator mode of interest. The resulting detector signal is proportional to τ, so the variation of this signal with source wavelength provides spectral information on the sample. Note that CEAS entails a relative measurement of τ. The published Ph.D. dissertation "Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy", R. Peeters, Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 2001, ISBN 90-9014628-8, provides further information on both CEAS and CRDS technology and applications. CEAS is discussed in a resent article entitled Incoherent broad-band cavity-enchanced absorption spectroscopy by S. Fiedler, A. Hese and A. Ruth Chemical Physics Letter 371 (2003) 284–294.
In cavity enhanced optical detection, the measured ring-down time depends on the total round trip loss within the optical resonator. Absorption and/or scattering by target species within the cavity normally accounts for the major portion of the total round trip loss, while parasitic loss (e.g., mirror losses and reflections from intracavity interfaces) accounts for the remainder of the total round trip loss. The sensitivity of cavity enhanced optical detection improves as the parasitic loss is decreased, since the total round trip loss depends more sensitively on the target species concentration as the parasitic loss is decreased. Accordingly, both the use of mirrors with very low loss (i.e., a reflectivity greater than 99.99 per cent), and the minimization of intracavity interface reflections are important for cavity enhanced optical detection.
Cavity enhanced optical detection can be used for solid, liquid, aerosol, or gaseous samples. For gaseous samples, intracavity interfaces are typically not present, so there are no corresponding interface reflection losses to contribute to round trip parasitic loss. However, intracavity interfaces are typically present for solid or liquid samples. For example, contamination of the mirror surfaces by aerosols i.e., liquid and/or solid particulate containing gas samples can create problems so that these samples are generally enclosed in an intracavity cell. This cell will create interfaces (e.g., windows) within the optical resonator. Similarly, the boundaries of a solid sample are per se intracavity interfaces. Likewise, for a liquid sample contained in a flow cell present within a cavity, the interfaces between the liquid and the inner wall of the flow cell as well as the exterior wall surfaces of the flow cell are all intracavity interfaces. U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,680 teaches the minimization of intracavity reflection loss when examining solid or liquid samples by positioning the sample such that optical radiation circulating within the optical resonator is, insofar as possible, incident on the sample-induced interfaces at an angle approximating Brewster's angle and is p-polarized relative to these interfaces. Since reflection is minimized for p-polarized incidence on an interface at
Brewster's angle, this arrangement significantly reduces reflection-induced parasitic loss.
A variation of the design shown in
However, the arrangements shown in
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for cavity enhanced optical detection having reduced sensitivity to variation of the sample refractive index. A further object of the invention is to provide both reduced sensitivity to variation of sample refractive index and reduced parasitic loss. Another object is to provide an apparatus which is suitable for detection of a variety of samples using a variety of optical radiation sources. Suitable sources include a tunable laser (i.e., a laser whose wavelength is variable over time) or a fixed frequency laser either of which can be pulsed or continuous wave, or a broadband incoherent light source, such as a LED, without resulting in a misaligned or unstable cavity. The apparatus of the present invention is suitable for use in both CRDS and CEAS instruments.
The present invention comprises an optical detector for cavity enhanced optical detection having an optical resonator where the optical alignment of the resonator is unaffected by changes in the refractive index of a sample or sample cell present within the resonator or in the excitation source wavelength. Changes in a sample refractive index can be caused by among other things changes in sample chemical composition and/or concentration. More specifically, the optical alignment of the resonator is unaffected by changes in the sample refractive index if two conditions are satisfied: (i) the resonator, including the sample, has a round trip radiation path for at least two different values of the sample refractive index; and (ii) the round trip radiation path within the resonator remains aligned with respect to the optical source illuminating the resonator. Since one of the resonator mirrors is an input mirror which receives radiation from the optical source, condition (ii) above can be restated as a requirement that the location of the point where the round trip radiation path impinges on the input mirror and the angle of incidence of the beam at that point be substantially insensitive to changes in the sample refractive index. The same is true for the wave length of the source radiation. Although the round trip path length of some embodiments of the present invention can change if the wavelength of the laser changes, our design (unlike the prior art designs shown in
In a first preferred embodiment of the invention as shown in
In a second preferred embodiment of the invention, a flow cell having a single analysis channel intersecting the round trip radiation path is employed in a cavity, having a first curved input mirror and a planar second mirror. Although the lateral displacement of an optical beam passing through such a flow cell depends on the sample index of refraction, displacement of the beam does not lead to misalignment of the cavity, since in this embodiment the planar mirror is aligned to retroreflect the beam. The location of the point at which the round trip radiation path impinges on the input mirror is thus substantially insensitive to changes in the sample refractive index or the laser wavelength, as further explained in the detailed discussion of
A third preferred embodiment of the invention as shown in
A further embodiment of the invention is shown in
As used in the present specification and in the appended claims, the term "fluid" is intended to encompass both liquids and aerosols (suspensions of micro particles of liquids and/or solids in a gas, e.g., air). The present invention is particularly useful for the spectroscopic analysis of aqueous or methanol eluent solutions from liquid chromatography columns and also of atmospheric samples which comprise aerosols. In each of these cases the composition of the fluid sample can vary significantly during the course of an analysis.
In each of the figures like numbers denote the same or functionally equivalent components.
where L is the diffractive optical distance between point 24 on mirror 12 and point 26 on mirror 18. The diffractive optical distance between any two points is the integral of Lmat/nmat where Lmat is the length of the physical optical path connecting the two points, and where nmat is the index of refraction of the material through which the optical beam is passing(which, in the cavity shown, will vary along the optical path). More particularly for the design shown in
L=2L air /n air+2L glass /n glass +L sample /n sample
where each L is distance the light passes through air, glass and the sample, respectively, divided by the corresponding refractive index of each of the materials, i.e. air, glass or sample, respectively. As shown, the beam passes through two different air and glass segments which is the reason the above equation for L includes the multiple 2 for these two segments of the cavity. Also, note that the refractive index of air, glass and the sample are all affected by the wavelength of the incident light but that only the sample index is affected by the sample composition (including the concentration of target species),temperature, and pressure.
Radiation circulates within the resonator along round trip radiation path 22 (solid line), which impinges on mirrors 12 and 18 at points 24 and 26 respectively. A portion of the circulating radiation which impinges on mirror 18 is transmitted through mirror 18 and is received by photodetector 20. According to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,680, the interfaces between sample 16 and flow cell 14, and/or the wall surfaces of flow cell 14, are configured to intersect path 22 at substantially Brewster's angle to reduce round trip loss within the cavity.
If the index of sample 16 is n1, then light circulating within the resonator formed by mirrors 12 and 18 follows path 22, and the resonator is aligned to the input beam (since path 22 is aligned with the axes of mirrors 12 and 18). If the refractive index of sample 16 is changed to a value n2, which differs from n1, then light inside the cavity will follow a different path. In this case a round trip light path, if one exists, is no longer aligned with the axes of mirrors 12 and 18, which, at the least, increases parasitic round trip loss because the beam incidences at the interfaces will no longer be at substantially Brewster's angle. In the example of

Radiation circulates within the resonator along round trip radiation path 32 (solid line), which impinges on mirrors 12 and 18 at points 24 and 26, respectively. A portion of the circulating radiation which impinges on mirror 18 is transmitted through mirror 18 and is received by photodetector 20. Photodetector 20 is preferably a semiconductor (photodiode) photo-detector, responsive to the radiation provided by optical source 10. Flow cell 14, which is generally Y shaped, comprises a fluid input channel 17 and two analysis channels 19A and 19B (the two arms of the Y). Analysis channels 19A and 19B are in fluid communication with input channel 17 so that the flow of fluid sample 16, having a refractive index n1, within input channel 17 is divided into two flows through both analysis channels 19A and 19B, as indicted by the arrows. Each analysis channel intersects round trip radiation path 32 at angles of intersection that are equal, or approximately equal, to each other (although of opposite sign) and also approximately (i.e., within �5 degrees of) Brewster's angle.
If the refractive index of sample 16 is changed to a value n2 which differs from n1, then light input to the cavity will follow a different path. In the embodiment of

A portion of the circulating radiation which impinges on mirror 40 is transmitted through mirror 40 and is received by photodetector 20. Photodetector 20 is preferably a semiconductor photodetector or photomultiplier, responsive to the radiation provided by optical source 10. Sample 16, having a refractive index n1, flows within flow cell 14, which includes an analysis channels 19. Analysis channel 19 preferably intersects round trip radiation path 36 at an angle of intersection that is equal to, or approximately equal to, (i.e., within �5 degrees of) Brewster's angle.
If the refractive index of sample 16 is changed to a value n2 which differs from n1, or if the wavelength of the light source changes then light inside the cavity will follow a different path. In the embodiments of

The requirement for a stable resonator with two concave mirrors having the same radius of curvature is 0≦1−L/R≦1 where L is the distance between the two concave mirrors. If the two concave mirrors have a different radius of curvature the requirement can be expressed as 0≦(1−L/2R′)(1−L/2R″)≦1 where R′ is the radius of curvature of the input mirror and R″ is the radius of curvature of the output mirror In both cases L is the diffractive optical distance between the point on the input mirror where the light enters the resonant cavity and the point at which it impinges on the facing concave output mirror.

Gold Mining Operations
Once development is complete, the mining project will begin operation. This involves extracting metal-rich ore from the deposit. Ore that has been extracted will require further processing at a refinery to recover the gold (as well as other valuable minerals). Mining companies will use stringent controls to ensure high standards of health and safety, as well as minimising environmental impacts.

Meta Boost is a dietary supplement that is basically naturally formulated to help people experiencing declining testosterone levels get a boost of the hormone. Almost every man will start to experience testosterone related problems as they age and the best way for them to address this problem is by boosting its levels naturally. This is what Meta Boost dietary supplement promises users. The supplement helps with fat loss, lean muscle gain, and props up energy needed for workouts. It also promises to reduce the time a person needs to recover between workouts. This helps men keen on gaining muscles quickly realize their dreams.
A bottle of the supplement costs $89.95 excluding shipping fees which costs $4.95 meaning when you order it online you will have to pay a total of $94.90 to get a month's order.
Manufacturer's Information and its Claims about Meta Boost
Meta Boost is made by the same company that markets it online at its official website although they have not provided their official name. According to them Meta Boost is an all natural supplement that will work in harmony with your body to boost free testosterone levels, enhances energy and also improves general metabolism rate. They claim that their supplement is a good alternative to other dubious supplements which promise to boost testosterone but are harmful. They say that their supplement is safe because the ingredients used in its formulation are purely natural and safe.
How Does Meta Boost Work?
Basically Meta Boost works by triggering the production of free testosterone through a physiological process that also works to decrease estrogen levels in the body. When you increase the levels of testosterone naturally and decrease estrogen the body finds it easy to burn extra fats naturally through exercises. The result then would be more lean muscle gain that is usually considered healthy and fit. Some of the supplement's ingredients contain a substance which is known to speed up the synthesis of testosterone while some ingredients contain substances that inhibit estrogen production.
Meta Boost Ingredients
Below are some of the ingredients of Meta Boost:
- Maca Powder – derived from maca root it has numerous health benefits. It has been used in Meta boost to help boost energy, and stamina.
- Ginger – it has been used for centuries due to its numerous health benefits and it has been used in Meta Boost as a natural testosterone booster.
- Locorice – a perennial legume that is native to southern Europe which has been used as an ingredient here to help boost testosterone levels naturally.
- American Ginseng Bark – native to the eastern part of North America it has numerous health benefits. It has been used in the supplement to help in ensuring normal functioning of cells.
- Catuaba Fruit – has got numerous health benefits and it has been used here to help boost energy and enhance sexual desire.
- Cnidium – is an ingredient that has beneficial health properties and it has been used in the supplement specifically to help boost energy.
- Howthorne Seed – is a great vasodilator and it has been used in Meta boost to help ensure optimal circulation.
- Chinese Dadder – mostly used in China for its numerous health benefits, it has been used here as an antioxidant.
- Velvet Bean Extract – is an ingredient that helps in painkilling and it has been used in the supplement to help lessen recovery time between workouts.
- Epinedium Gluten – also referred to as the horny goat weed, it has been used as an ingredient in the supplement to help improve circulation by softening blood vessels.
- Tribulus – a great herbal extract that helps to bring about good cardiovascular health. It also enhances good blood circulation in the body.

- Helps you burn fats naturally and quickly.
- Helps to relieve muscle pain.

|Trying to use the jackrabbit cli to connect to oak davex
|Thu, 08 Nov 2012 09:45:45 GMT
Hi, I'm trying to use the jackrabbit cli from the standalone package to connect to oak over davex. I'm running into the following error during login: javax.jcr.ItemNotFoundException: Unable to retrieve NodeInfo for http://localhost:8080/davex/default/jcr%3aroot/ at org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2dav.ExceptionConverter.generate(ExceptionConverter.java:100) at org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2dav.ExceptionConverter.generate(ExceptionConverter.java:51) at org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2davex.RepositoryServiceImpl.getItemInfos(RepositoryServiceImpl.java:366) The client is trying the following request: http://localhost:8080/davex/default/jcr%3aroot/.0.json I'm not sure why it's requesting a json file at all, but the url doesn't seem to work with oak. Does anybody have some pointers on what's going on and how I could fix this? Regards, Bart

I can barely imagine what it was like, not being here in Venezuela. Jennifer and Jay's parents have made us feel so welcome and comfortable, so much like home, that it's hard to imagining we've only been here for a couple of days and we only have a couple of days left. I am exhausted. We've been going non stop since we got here, and I'm really excited to sleep in tomorrow. But I just had to post just one picture from this amazing wedding at Agua Sante, in a little town known for it's ceramics and pottery, just outside of Barquisimeto. And also, Jen's mom made that dress. And Jen made the veil. And Venezuela made the wonderful people (and Ecuador, too!)
Much, much more to come.

Spoon's book is listed as a novel but reads like a memoir, told in nonlinear episodes with the protagonist sharing the author's name. I suppose I shouldn't care about the distinction, but I can't help wanting to know what I'm reading. Regardless, one should treasure the rare opportunity to read about the real or fictionalized life of a genderqueer child growing up in a religious family in the Canadian prairies.

I almost put The Mockingbirds down after the first clumsy page or two, but I stuck with it, and am glad I did. It's the story of date rape and students taking the law into their own hands because the school administration is too impressed with itself to acknowledge and address the school's imperfections. The rapist is a water polo player, for dog's sake!

I found this because someone posted or referenced the author's great Ten Rules for Fat Girls, and I saw on her site that she writes vampire novels. Protagonist Miranda Grey isn't fat, but when she's thin its viewed as a sign of poor physical and mental health.

AIRSHOW-Bombardier sees confidence in CSeries as Swiss opts for bigger plane
(Adds exec comments, background)
By Sarah Young
PARIS, June 15 (Reuters) - Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier, under pressure to boost sales of its new CSeries narrow-body jet, said an upgrade to a larger plane by launch customer Swiss for part of its 30 jet-order showed confidence in the project.
The CSeries made its air show debut in Paris on Monday ahead of certification expected at the end of this year, and Bombardier is hoping to revamp the jet's reputation to drive sales after years of delays and cost overruns.
Bombardier said Swiss, owned by Lufthansa, would convert 10 of its 30-ordered CSeries jets to the larger CS300 version and they would be received by the customer in 2017.
The conversion showed confidence in the CSeries family, said Bombardier, which has not announced a single firm CSeries order since September.
"The CS100 aircraft provides the extraordinary field performance needed for operations at some very challenging airports, while the CS300 aircraft provides outstanding economics," Bombardier's president of commercial aircraft Fred Cromer said.
But in blow, Qatar Airways said separately on Monday it was no longer interested in the CSeries.
Bombardier also said it was working with existing customer Russian leasing company Ilyushin Finance (IFC) to find appropriate aircraft and financing solutions. Continued...

The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It's a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. There are replicas and paperweights of it in three different sizes. Everyone knows it. I love it. I have all those replicas right here, sitting on my shelves.And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books... HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court... my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric...via: http://www.zergnet.com/o/72685/1 >> GRRM's blog (a livejournal!): http://grrm.livejournal.com/327569.html

About uGurus
Empowering Entrepreneurs To Grow And Create Amazing Lives
"How Agency Owners Increase Prices, Work Less And Grow Profits"
"We Only Work With Amazing Clients And So Should You."
Dear Agency Owner,
It's easy to fall into the scarcity mindset trap thinking you need to pursue every client that knocks at your door.
We teach agencies how to stake a claim in a market and make bold statements.
By helping you get specific, we help you open the door to massive opportunity.
Think back to a time when you worked with a GREAT client. Fun work. Solid pay. A joy.
What if your business was full of those clients?
I bet life would be pretty rad.
uGurus is committed to only working with amazing digital agencies led by driven and fun owners.
What I have to offer isn't for everyone.
I am crazy choosy about who gets in and is kept out. I want to make sure I can really help you grow or why bother?
After two years of building the $10K Community, I have had a chance to analyze who succeeds and who doesn't.
Here are 5 key traits I've found in our success stories:
1) $10K'ers are self-employed building websites and running digital marketing campaigns.
You are either on your own or leading a small team. We've had a few team members (employees) go through program and see improvements for their employer, but this isn't our focus.
2) $10K'ers are mostly from North America.
Since much of our program is delivered through live calls - timezones and great internet are a factor.
However, we have a lot of success stories from Australia and Europe as long as the students can make the times work (we have groups starting from 9AM to 5PM Mountain/USA time).
We have a handful of success stories from Asia and India as well - but in some cases there can be a culture and/or language barrier. If speaking and comprehension of English is strong, than experience in the program can be strong.
3) $10K'ers are working on their own business full-time.
We've had a few people with full-time jobs succeed to bridge the gap to their own business, but this isn't our focus.
Bootcamp is a time commitment and so is taking action on your business. The best results come from those that are committed to both.
Bootcamp is not a program that you "sample" - if you expect to 2 or 3x your business in a short period of time you must be willing to TAKE ACTION on a weekly basis.
If you have a full-time gig but are truly committed you can succeed. But you must be serious and ready to jump ship from your day-gig when the time comes.
4) $10K'ers have a growth mindset.
To succeed you must be willing to look at the industry professionals in your group as comrades not competitors.
You must be willing to help others and be open to getting help on the toughest decisions you'll make in your Business.
You must be willing to share the good, the bad, and the ugly within your business. The more you share and explore, the more you grow.
5) $10K'ers are willing to invest in themselves at the same levels clients are investing in them.
Think about it: if you aren't willing to make a financial investment in your own growth - put together the dollars and make it happen - how can you expect your client to invest a ton of money in your own business?
Bootcamp is not just another video course. We invest in Mentors, the best video conferencing systems, website portals, and a dedicated team to support your success.
As I sit here writing this letter to you I am finding myself curious about what your potential is...
Each day, new web professionals are joining the $10K Community. Each brings more and more success stories.
I wonder what your success story would sound like...
I wonder how your business would change with our program...
I wonder how your life would change...
Do you?
I think you're ready.
You need to do 2 things:
1) Look below this letter for a
webinar invitation
. I host these events every week and can't wait to meet you.
2) Check out the
success stories page
and watch at least two of the stories from start to finish.

Outer Powell Boulevard Safety Improvements Project
Public Meeting
Wednesday, October 17, 2012: 5pm to 7pm
Ron Russell Middle School Library
3955 SE 112th
Portland, OR 97266
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is beginning a project to improve safety and replace worn out pavement on SE Powell Boulevard from SE 111th Avenue to just east of SE 174th Avenue at the Gresham city limits.
Eight intersections along this section of Outer Powell Boulevard are among the top 10% of high-crash sites in the region. Heavy traffic and narrow road shoulders also contribute to difficult conditions for pedestrians throughout the corridor. The Outer Powell Boulevard Safety Improvements Project is focused on strategic safety improvements for this important neighborhood thoroughfare and state highway. It will include two new pedestrian crossings, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) upgrades to curb ramps, and high-visibility roadway striping.
The Project will also involve repaving the roadway and widening the road shoulders to provide a width of at least 8 feet. Plans will be developed this fall and winter and construction is expected to begin next summer. ODOT is seeking community input on key aspects of the Project design, including:
Suggestions and design feedback will be collected at a public meeting on October 17 and through the project website
ODOT is investing $5.5 million in Outer Powell Boulevard now so that users can benefit from immediate safety upgrades while the City of Portland, Metro, ODOT, and other stakeholders work towards funding future land use and transportation studies and improvements.
For more information, contact Shelli Romero, Oregon Department of Transportation, (503) 731-8231
It's good to see some near-term work planned for outer Powell, though I was really hoping to see movement on the more extensive improvements envisioned in the Outer Powell Conceptual Design Plan - 3-lane profile, buffered bike lnaes or cycle tracks, separated sidewalks. If only $66,551,572 were laying around.

First of all, there's news from the Copa San Juan Minero, which is only two weeks away now. Martin Jaite has announced the schedule of events and it looks like this:
Friday, Dec 11 - players' arrival and possible press conference
Saturday, Dec 12 - semifinals, first match to start 7pm local (11pm CEST, 5pm EST)
Sunday, Dec 13 - final to start 9pm local (1am CEST, 7pm EST)
All three matches will be shown live on TyC Sports.
And although no official information has yet been released about the semifinal match-ups, Jaite told Diario de Cuyo the following. "We're going to sort the players according to their ATP rankings, which makes Nalbandian and Massu the two top players, while Gaudio is ahead of Cañas. Therefore, David will play Willy and Gaudio will play Massu. This will be confirmed next week."
So David's first match after the pause will be against Guillermo "Willy" Cañas.

And here's, at last, the radio interview (November 12). Or rather, here's my translation of Tamar's "best of" transcript (thanks again!). It starts with David, defining his way of playing tennis...
I try not to run, I try to make my opponent run. The intention is to make the opponent run.
Spending as much time away from the Tour as I've done now, you want to return. To be there, to feel the nerves before the match, those sensations... To go back to competing, being there, playing against others and beating them.
The comeback will take place the week before Australia [i.e. Australian Open]. In Australia, the heat makes you suffer a lot. But it's nice there, a place I can only recommend. It's a very beautiful country, very tidy, very modern. Actually, when I went there for the first time, I was surprised by what a beautiful country it is.
When I started playing professionally, I never thought about playing until a certain age because that always depends on injuries. Right now, I think that I'll play for another two or three years. I've always said that I'll definitely keep playing till 30 and that when I'm 30, I'll see how I am, physically - will I go on playing, or not? And will I still keep on playing if I'm #80 and start to be annoyed with my ranking, playing Challenger events? Right now, I'd say that I will.
In the future [after retiring], it will be very difficult to stay away from tennis completely. Coaching young players at an academy or coaching a professional player - both options have their appeal. Having a small academy and passing on your life experience and your knowledge to kids, giving them opportunities, that's always nice. I think in Argentina we don't have enough of that, in terms of tennis, it's about providing a good basis, that kids can train well and do the things they have to do in order to make it [i.e. turn pro]. So maybe in other countries, there's a better infrastructure and they produce, or don't produce good players. It's not that having a better infrastructure alone will produce better players. It's very difficult. But I think it's a nice task. As is being Davis Cup captain. Or coach.
When you're going to play a tournament, the more focused you are, the better. And if you have ten friends coming along with you, that's very difficult. Going to Mar del Plata, there were eleven of them, all in one VW bus. Sharing what you do with someone who doesn't play tennis professionally is very difficult. Or to put differently, for them it's also difficult to watch their friend, competing. It gives my family the chance to travel with me around the world. My brother Javier used to be my coach and travelled with me a lot at the junior stage. Back then, he travelled with me as my coach, as my brother, as my father - a little bit of everything. And my mom, whenever she can, she'll pack her bags and come with me. My brother Darío also used to travel with me but not as much anymore because he's now coaching some kids.
A tennis player who doesn't break racquets is not a tennis player... It's been twelve years of playing [professionally], I started playing tennis when I was five. When I was a boy, I had to make do, playing with a broken racquet because my dad didn't have enough money to buy me a new one. So I had to keep the broken racquet and I was about to play the regional championships... I broke it in a fit of rage and my dad said, "you have to live with it, you'll play with that one."
My dad died in 2004. It still seems like it happened only recently, it will always seem that way. My dad didn't like to travel, he preferred to watch the matches at home. He liked to travel in Argentina, though. But he mostly suffered [watching matches] at home.
Q: In the past of each great tennis player, there's always someone who used to play against them when they were young, someone who would beat them, who was ten times better than them but never made it to the professional level in the end. Did that happen to you as well?
David: Not at my level but there was always another level above mine, older than we were, and many of them were extremely talented and played very well. And then, out of laziness, or a lack of discipline or resources, or for other reasons - they didn't make it. Making it in tennis is very difficult. You have to give up a lot of things for it. I left school in the third year of secondary school. I did half of high school, more or less. And I never made plans with my friends from school when I was young. As a tennis player, you don't get to have those typical teenage experiences because you have too many other commitments, outside of school. It's different if you're training to become a professional athlete.
Why I've changed my way of dealing with the press... I've always done what I wanted to do at that moment. And what annoyed me was having to waste time [on interviews]. I came back home and wanted to spend five or ten days in peace in Cordoba. And I didn't want to do interviews. It's impossible to please everybody. I said yes to many of them, to many others I said no. That's the way it is. I've dealt with it for many years. They call you on the phone and ask, "can you do an interview?" and I tell them, "no, excuse me, but I'm on my way to eat, or to train" and then they say, "but it'll only take five minutes, one minute," and I say, "no, I've told you no, or maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word 'no'?" And then I'd end up getting angry... It has caused a lot of friction over the years. I think one of the reasons I've changed my approach in the past six months is that I've been able to meet all those requests [for interviews], having more time and being more relaxed. But come January, I'll close the door again.
I think that those journalists who've actually done the sports they're reporting about possess some inside knowledge about how a player feels during a match. Therefore, they have many advantages, compared to a journalist who has studied journalism and who's on televison or the radio, having never picked up a racquet, having never played football, having never done anything of the sort. Someone who has played football and talks or writes about it will say different things from someone who never played themselves. And that's why I think that a former player who then takes up journalism has a big advantage.
Q: During the match, what do you think about?
David: I think about a thousand things... I think about how I'm going to have a barbecue with my friends on Thursday at noon. Running around on court, you think about a thousand different things. For example, I'm playing at the stadium and I know what's happening everywhere in the stands, I pay a lot of attention to all of that and it doesn't affect my concentration. If the crowd is against me, I like it even better. I'm aware of a lot that goes on inside the whole stadium. For example, if my team is there, I know at which point they leave, when they come back, I know when they're talking, when they're not talking, when they're watching, when they're not watching. I'm like that. But there are also players who keep their head down and don't know what's going on around them.
One year, I was playing on Court 2 at Wimbledon, I don't remember against who. We were in the fourth set and there, hidden in a corner of the stadium, were Ale Gabriel and Valeria Mazza [Argentine actress and her husband] hidden, watching the match. Impressive. There they were, in a corner at the side of the court. After the match I went over to him and said, "you idiot, you arrive at 4-4 in the fourth set and then leave again at 2-1 in the fifth" or something like that, and he said, "how do you know?!" It's just that I like to know what's happening, what's going on around me. I don't think it'll make me win or lose a match point. It's just the way I am. And I use it to concentrate or distract me during moments of pressure. And well, it's just the way I am.
Sometimes, you'll get to see a couple of actors, there to watch a match. And I've seen Tiger Woods a few times. I've spoken to Tiger twice, one "hi" and then another "hi" and "bye". Tiger has an imposing presence, commanding respect. He's like Maradona in this, they both have something special about them, different from the rest. And actors, actresses, they also show up for the tournaments. I've met Owen Wilson, I've met him here in Argentina after first meeting him in the US and that was cool. And I think Sharon Stone was there once, somewhere. And then there are others we don't recognize because they're on American TV andthen someone will say to you, "hey, that was so and so". Or take Tommy Haas' girlfriend, she's a well-known actress and she travels with a friend I don't know. But she's an actress.
Unquillo has always been the site of the Cordoba rally. I have photos of my mom, with me on her arm, at the race. I don't even remember [being there] and yet I have those photos showing that I was. In Cordoba, there is a passion for rally racing. Out of the different kinds of motorsports I like rally the best because the racetrack is great. With rally racing, you have a racetrack of 400km and it'll keep changing, each curve is different from the next. The navigator [co-pilot] is extremely important. That's the beauty of it, that you're competing in teams. The adrenaline I've felt in a rally car I've not felt anywhere else.
I'd like to jump out of a plane, parachuting. I've been on a glider (without motor) before. You get towed by a small aircraft, with the glider attached to it by a cable. I was in the front seat, with the instructor sitting behind me. And then he'll tell you to 'loosen the handle' and you have to disengage the cable, releasing you from the aircraft ahead. And then you let go and when you let go, it's incredible... It's a lot of fun. Hang gliding is more dangerous. I've done bungee jumping, I did that in Austria. I've always said that I would do parachuting and bungee jumping and I always said that I'd go parachuting before trying bungee jumping because with parachuting, I think that you jump and don't see the ground, you just jump. And with bungee jumping, you see the ground. And when you hang there [after having jumped] you're left hanging there for a bit. They don't lift you up again, they lower you down to the ground. I turned around and gripped the rope so I could turn my head.
I've been in a relationship for a long time now.
Q: You should raise a monument for your girlfriend.
David: For me! A monument for me! In fact, we still haven't finished getting to know each other, we're still at the beginning of our relationship. (laughter from the moderators)
We've been together for eleven years now, she's older than I am. There was a short break at some stage, to bring back the adrenaline to the relationship. After all, it's been eleven years... (laughs)
For a tennis player, having children is a synonym for retirement. What I tell her is that it would be different if we were living in Europe because then you can easily travel to tournaments but if you live in South America... And for women who are pregnant it is important not having to travel. It's very difficult. I think in tennis, travelling with a child is very difficult. Just imagine taking a plane every week, different hotels, a different country, time zone, food... For a newborn child that means a lot of trouble. I've seen "Gordo" Calleri and other people travel with children. Four bags for the child, two bags for him, three bags for the wife, and it is very difficult.
[Claudio Galasso on David's way of dealing with defeats]
He'll at least slam a door... There are moments when he needs to be left alone, to go to his room and think about what has happened, alone. Or maybe sitting naked in the locker room, with a towel over his head, thinking about what went wrong. You do an analysis of what happened in your head, why you lost your hold on that match and let it slip through your fingers, why you didn't manage to get a grip on it again. This process is necessary, it has to take place. It's about drawing a line and leaving the problem to be dealt with, later.

Doing some medical training with a guy who shows the doctors how to use this cardiac imaging software, I was talking with him and basically sharing the room because a) there was no other place to sit, and b) every so often he'd need me to answer a question...
We were chatting away about tons of **** when the doctors were away and somehow the conversation gets over to football and he said that he played QB for Howard for 4 years, then played with the pros for a bit.
I'm thinking "you're a pretty small guy for a football player, maybe wide reciever or something" and sure enough he was backup wide reciever for the NY Giants in 1990 when they won the superbowl under Parcells. I never even noticed his big-ass superbowl ring on his hand.
I did a quick Google on they guy and it turns out he only played pro for a single season...as a backup... and he got a ring out of it. Very Happy
Anyway he let me play with it and take a picture. :p Very cool guy.
Sounds like a coold dude now wheres the pic
Ah, the 1990 Superbowl. Didn't Scott Norwood miss a field goal late and the Giants held on? Wasn't this the begining of the curse for the Bills?
BTW I saw "Refridgerator"Perry's 1985 superbowl ring on display at the Football Hall of Fame. Man I could have worn that ring around my wrist it because it was so big!
That must have been cool getting to wear the ring! You gotta post the pics!
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
I've handled several. My sunday school teacher in 10th grade was Burton Lawless, he played for the Dallas Cowboys when they were good. He has 2 or 3 Superbowl rings. He's a great christian man.

It has just rained all night here. We do need the rain. I love rain but as usual at this time of year it wont know when to stop in some places. I am desperately hoping this system goes west for you Chooky. Our niece and nephew on Bernie's side are in Proserpine which just copped the brunt of cyclone Debbie. Bill and Shiralee have a cane and cattle property and John and Melita are in building .Both have lots of damage. Its very sad because after the last cyclone John's house had a big fire when the power was turned back on and lost 1/2 his house . This time he has lots of water damage inside. Shiralee and Bill have water damage in their house but most of their farm infrastructure is gone.
To all my friends in the path of this silly x -cyclone and the rain depression that follows be careful.
Love you all

When you need a good cry
I'm sure you've all been there, watching a movie or show or listening to a friend's story and you think "If ONLY they were poly, there'd be a happier ending."
Tonight, I was feeling like a good, sappy movie and found Take This Waltz, a truly beautiful film. I recommend it to anyone who feels in need of a good cry. Or maybe I'm just that much of a sensitive guy. Or... whatever, it's a good movie, I loved it and you should watch it. I felt like sharing, as it really just reinforced all the truth I've been discovering in myself through this poly-adventure so far.
Note of caution, it's rated R for nudity, etc.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a great Monday night!
I'm not sure about netflix, I watched it via other means online...
It's a Canadian film I believe, not sure if that makes a difference though.. do a search, see if anything comes up.
Quite honestly, just watching the preview made me tear up a little...

- Features
- Game Editions
Science fiction based first person shooters have always been popular thanks to series like QUAKE, HALO, and DOOM. Global Star and Torus Games now present CLASSIFIED: THE SENTINEL CRISIS for the PS2, a title that is sure to join the ranks of the top sci-fi shooter games. CLASSIFIED: The Sentinel Crisis takes place in a futuristic world where black operations units are experimented upon. Players take on the role of a new black ops soldier in the Sentinel program. This program combines human solders with Sentinels, intelligent combat suits that give their wearers amazing abilities and protection. However, the scientist who created the Sentinel technology has suddenly vanished in the Balkans, and the government fears the technology may soon fall into the hands of a rebel faction in the area. As a Sentinel solder, players are equipped with only their suit and a OIWC assault rifle, one of the most powerful weapons in the world. The OIWC is more than just a rifle, it's an entire arsenal in one: with the right equipment, additions, and modifications, it can mimic six different weapons, including a pistol and a sniper rifle. While some of the levels involve players lurking in labs or other facilities, a good portion of The Sentinel Crisis takes place in gorgeous, vast outdoor settings. Other battles are often going on around the player, adding to the incredible fun of the game. CLASSIFIED: THE SENTINEL CRISIS will make even hardcore FPS gamers gasp in amazement.
