In this film you will see the true meaning of the human condition.
The style of the film is pure brilliance. The acting is thrilling ...its sheer perfection.
Warning: the first scene, is horrifying, (with shockingly, explicit violence) but continue watching, it is well worth the ride.
Don't just see it..buy it! Its a must have!
Although I imagine that very few people will end up subjecting themselves to this film in the long run, those who do will witness an amazing piece of work in many ways. Like the movie "Betrayal" from 1983, "Irreversible" tells its story in reverse chronological order. It begins with a frenzied man racing through a gay sex club, madly searching for someone we know merely as Le Tenia. Only as the story develops - as we are taken ever further back in time - do we begin to understand what is going on: that this young man, Marcus, is seeking vengeance on the rapist who has brutally attacked his pregnant girlfriend. Noe keeps us in a state of confusion by filming the scene in such a way as to reflect the maniacal state of Marcus' revenge-obsessed mind. The camera bounces around in epileptic confusion while the audience attempts to get its bearings. Eventually, as the filmmakers backtrack to reveal the events that have led up to this moment, the camera calms down and we get to see the whole ugly story acted out in painfully graphic detail. In fact, in the rape scene itself, Noe reverses his filmmaking style 180 degrees, deliberately leaving the camera stationary and focused on the event as it plays itself out. He simply won't allow us to stop looking.

Tottenham Hotspur: Pearls of Wisdom and Truths to Consider
By Trent Scott ,
After getting slathered by another team from North London on Saturday, Tottenham could officially be described as "reeling."
A promising start to the match with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium quickly descended into chaos after goalscorer Emmanuel Adebayor decided to hit the showers early by trying to remove Santi Cazorla's leg.
After going downhill at lightning speed from there, Spurs decided to raise the stakes further with a formation change that at least signaled that Andre Villas-Boas was willing to gamble for any result, even if at times the desired effect did not occur.
There was the odd positive note in the match, but if one is to be fair, no real good came from Round 12 on the Premier League fixture list.
The day did, however, reveal some essential truths that Tottenham might want to take note of, before they decide to sink any further into the middle of the league table.
Moussa Dembele has not played in the last five Tottenham matches, in which they've managed only a solitary win.
Before that, Dembele had been the anchor that propelled the white half of North London to four straight wins.
There is no coincidence here: Dembele added a dimension to the Tottenham attack that, quite frankly, has not been replicated, save for the match against Maribor in the Europa League.
Without the Belgian, Spurs are shorn of any sort of midfield influence, and that has been extremely costly.
Even against Arsenal, there is no guarantee that the outcome would have been the same, namely a win for the hosts.
In effect, the Gunners did exactly what Tottenham was doing with Dembele in the lineup: playing through three zones and eventually overwhelming the opposition.
It's little wonder that through 12 matches, Dembele has been the key cog in Spurs' attacking machine.
The sooner he returns, the better.
Remember that last mention about Maribor? Tottenham actually had an attacking impetus in that match not seen for quite some time.
A lot of people will point to the starting of Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor up top.
Those that do are missing the lot.
Tom Carroll sat in the midfield and—gasp!—passed the ball forward. Really, he did.
Against Arsenal, Carroll had provided more thrust from the midfield in 20 minutes than Tom Huddlestone mustered in 70.
Until further notice, Carroll needs to be given some matches to show that he can do this consistently. Huddlestone is not adding anything, other than a long-range sniper shot and the odd free kick.
Given Tottenham's current malaise and lack of center-of-the-park threat, Carroll could be just the ticket, should Dembele fail to return soon.
In fact, even when Dembele does come back, perhaps Spurs can experiment with Dembele pushed slightly forward and Carroll holding the "Moutinho" role for a while.
One thing that's good right now is the group of players available in attack.
While at times they've been akin to flopping fish, it is worth remembering the famous phrase of Yakubu:
"Feed the Yak and he will score."
Likewise, once Tottenham start feeding the attacking players with passes that give them a chance to make a play, it's likely that said players will be converting those chances.
The two assists for Spurs against Arsenal were passes with far more direct intent than the white-clad warriors have shown since the match against Maribor.
In saying this, Tottenham need players on the pitch who are willing to make the killer pass.
Carroll and Dembele are willing and able. Put them on the pitch and let them feed the players upfront.
The goals will flow in shortly thereafter.
Given their stout defending for much of the match last weekend against Manchester City, it was a bit of a shock to see Spurs so shambolic at the back against Arsenal.
What the performance did do was distinguish the fact that Steven Caulker might be the best central defender in Tottenham at the moment.
Sure, there are bound to be growing pains with a 20-year-old central defender, but his performances so far this term have dwarfed the rest of the offerings on show.
On Saturday, Spurs could have done with the aerial ability of the England defender, who likely would have been picking up Per Mertesacker when the big German powered a header past Hugo Lloris.
With Younes Kaboul still some time away from the pitch, Caulker should be the second name on the team sheet for every match.
As much as Caulker has done to earn his keep so far, Gallas has failed to convince when the play is not directly in front of him.
No moment in the match against Arsenal sums this up better than the fourth goal, as Gallas knew Lukas Podolski was just off to his right and was sent through by Theo Walcott.
Gallas had to know what was coming: Podolski was moving along the outside while Walcott was running, as Gallas, Dawson and Vertonghen were tracking back.
Gallas is looked directly at Podolski, knew Podolski was going to try to blow by him and yet did little to actually prevent the move from happening.
For the guy that is supposed to be the old, experienced head, Gallas' inability to hold focus for 90 minutes is frustrating and frightening all at once.
If they want Gallas to play in the Europa League, fine. But where the results currently matter most, anyone else will do for now.
As if he needs reminding, Villas-Boas was hired not to win the Europa League but to get Tottenham into the Champions League.
I get the idea that winning breeds winning, but at some point one has to look at what is truly important this season and begin to settle attention on that one thing.
Currently, Tottenham are in danger of falling to the middle of the Premier League table. That's not exactly where the bosses were expecting Spurs to be at this time of the season.
Granted, two or three clubs are putting in some surprising early shifts, but if the results do not start adding up, there will be pressure from the top to forgo any competition aside from the league itself, regardless of what Villas-Boas thinks.
In his post-match comments, Villas-Boas was....delusional?
First, the lines of contention, via The Mail:
'We were very, very good from the first minute to the last with 11 men and with 10 men,' said Villas-Boas.
'We feel it could have gone either way. We were in control from the first minute to the last, we're proud of what we have done.'
'The feeling about the result is indifferent when we played so well and we took the risk in the second half to be so bold and play with three at the back.'
These are the lines of someone who was on the winning side, not a manager who was on the end of a 5-2 battering.
It's okay to defend a club's performance; it's quite another to think that somehow, the squad was in the ascendancy when they were clearly not.
Outside of the first 10 minutes and perhaps a few spot moments in the second half, Tottenham were fourth best, behind Arsenal, the parking lot staff and the stewards in the stands.
A more realistic line or two would do well. Implying that Spurs had the match for the taking is just a bit rich for most people's imaginations.

A New Class of Traceability Schemes for Protecting Digital Content against Illegal Re-distribution

Title | A New Class of Traceability Schemes for Protecting Digital Content against Illegal Re-distribution |

Abstract | Traceability schemes are used to protect the rights of intellectual-property owners against illegal re-distribution. In order to trace a pirate copy back to a user who has been involved in making and re-distributing the pirate copy, a traceability scheme requires a code which contains a sufficient number of codewords and a traitor-tracing algorithm. Codes with the identifiable parent property (IPP codes) and traceability codes (TA codes) have been extensively studied. IPP codes include all TA codes as special instances. However, TA codes usually implement efficient tracing algorithms, while IPP codes do not always have efficient tracing algorithms. A major theoretical challenge is to derive more codes which have efficient tracing algorithms. The contributions of this paper include a new class of traceability codes, as well as an efficient tracing algorithm for the new traceability codes. The proposed tracing algorithm has the same complexity as the traditional tracing algorithm and can outperform the traditional tracing algorithm. |

Results 1 to 5 of 5
New Under Seat Safe for Long Guns, ETC.
I have designed a new safe for the 2007 and newer Sierra and Silverado Crew Cab. This will fit the 2007 to 2013 and the new 2014 1500 series. The safe will 55" wide, 13" front to rear and 4.5 " deep in the rear and 6" deep in the front.
It will be made from 12 gauge cold rolled steel and have one door. It will be a simple bolt-in installation using my new design theft resistant brackets. MSRP will be $750, which is less than half the price of similar units that are not as secure. Under normal selling practices, it would cost forum members $675 with the 10% discount. Normally, I allow pre production orders at regular price less discount, but this unit will be different. Members wanting to order upfront with a $200 deposit will be offered this new unit at 20% off making it $600. The new theft resistant mounting kit will be 12 gauge Stainless Steel and will have a lower introductory price of $50.00. If you have interest in buying or have questions, please post them here or send ma a message.
As interest increases, I will put an order form on the website.

What do you get when you cross four Li-Ion 18650s with three CREE XM-L LEDs?
A Tiny Monster!
The NiteCore TM11 Tiny Monster
The world's smallest and lightest 2000 lumen flashlight!

A 2-stage switch lets you easily select modes. The switch has the feel of a camera shutter release; push it half way to access Daily Mode or push all the way for Turbo Mode.

Movin' on up: the role of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in cell migration
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 16, Issue 6, 1 June 2006, Pages 276-284
Kun Ling, Nicholas J. Schill, Matthew P. Wagoner, Yue Sun and Richard A. Anderson
AbstractCell migration requires the coordination of many biochemical events, including cell–matrix contact turnover and cytoskeletal restructuring. Recent advances further implicate phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] in the control of these events. Many proteins that are crucial to the assembly of the migration machinery are regulated by PtdIns(4,5)P2. Coordinated synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 at these sites is dependent on the precise targeting of the type I phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases (PIPKs). Two PIPKI isoforms target to, and generate, PtdIns(4,5)P2 at membrane ruffles and focal adhesions during cell migration. Here, we discuss our current understanding of PtdIns(4,5)P2 in the regulation of cell responses to migratory stimuli and how the migrating cell controls PtdIns(4,5)P2 availability.
Abstract | Full Text | PDF (361 kb) - The structure and regulation of vinculin
The structure and regulation of vinculin
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 16, Issue 9, 1 September 2006, Pages 453-460
Wolfgang H. Ziegler, Robert C. Liddington and David R. Critchley
AbstractVinculin is a ubiquitously expressed actin-binding protein frequently used as a marker for both cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix (focal adhesion) adherens-type junctions, but its function has remained elusive. Vinculin is made up of a globular head linked to a tail domain by a short proline-rich sequence, and an intramolecular interaction between the head and tail masks the numerous ligand-binding sites in the protein. Determination of the crystal structure of vinculin has shed new light on the way that these ligand-binding sites are regulated. The picture that emerges is one in which vinculin stabilizes focal adhesions and thereby suppresses cell migration, an effect that is relieved by transient changes in the local concentrations of inositol phospholipids. However, the finding that vinculin modulates the signalling pathways involved in apoptosis suggests that additional roles for vinculin remain to be discovered.

Cell motility: proline-rich proteins promote protrusions
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 11, Issue 1, 1 January 2001, Pages 38-46
Mark R. Holt and Anna Koffer
AbstractMany proline-rich proteins participate in delivering actin monomers to specific cellular locations where actin-rich membrane protrusions, such as ruffles, filopodia and microspikes, are formed. These protrusions are necessary for cell motility. Actin monomer is usually delivered to the site of polymerization in the form of profilactin – a complex of G-actin with a polyproline-binding protein, profilin. Here, we describe proline-rich proteins involved in regulating actin polymerization and classify them according to their role in recruiting profilin to the membrane.

Structural properties of lipid-binding sites in cytoskeletal proteins
Dept of Pathology, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 31, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland
Several cytoskeletal proteins have been shown to interact in vitro with, and in some cases are regulated by, specific membrane lipids. In some cases, evidence for in situ interactions has been provided. The molecular basis for such interactions is now being unravelled. At least five structurally distinct types of lipid-binding sites in cytoskeletal proteins have been identified. However, our understanding of the physiological role of such interactions is still limited. Precise knowledge about the binding-site structures and the actual amino acid residues involved should now enable the expression of mutant proteins that specifically lack the ability to interact with lipids. The impact of these mutations on protein location and function can then be assessed.

AIPAC Apologizes for Attempt to Cash In On Jerusalem Bombing
Posted in Jerusalem, US-Israel Lobby, tagged AIPAC, Anti-Semitism, Jerusalem on March 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Well, AIPAC got the message. At around 7 PM tonight, I received another e-mail from them, following the sleazy attempt to rake in the bucks off of today's bombing in Jerusalem. It reads, in full:
Dear Friends of Israel:
Today, you received an email from us about the dangers facing Israel right now and ways in which you can help ensure American support for Israel at a difficult and dangerous time. We included information about the horrific bombing in Jerusalem. In hindsight, it was wrong of us to mention this terrible tragedy the same day it occurred in the context of this email. We are deeply sorry.
We express our sympathies to all those impacted by today's events and extend our heartfelt apologies to you.
I'd love to think they give a damn about what I say, but I'm sure this was so far beyond the line that many of their own supporters complained. Hence the apology, which doesn't actually admit what they did, which was blatantly to use the bombing today as a fundraising tool. They say it was "information" they merely "included."
Still, I suppose that this message at least shows there is some shred of decency, if not in AIPAC itself, at least among their supporters. No doubt such would not have been on display if the victims were not Jews, but one can hardly wish for the moon here.
AIPAC Cashes In On Jewish Blood
Posted in Jerusalem, Terrorism, US-Israel Lobby, tagged AIPAC, Anti-Semitism, Israel, Israel Lobby, Jerusalem, Jewish State, pro-Israel, Terrorism on March 23, 2011 | 3 Comments »
One woman was killed and at least 30 injured in a bomb blast today near the central bus station in Jerusalem. But by now all of you know that.
But while I was still gathering data and reports of the incident, I received an e-mail. This message must have been composed very fast, in a hurry one can only imagine was akin to the excitement of a hungry dog that catches a glimpse of some tasty food.
The e-mail came from the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and it was a fundraising appeal based on the Jerusalem bombing. It gives a stark impression of a possible conversation in AIPAC's DC office:
"Hey, a bomb just went off in Jerusalem. A Jew was killed and other Jews were injured!"
"Wow, just what we need, we can really cash in on this now. How lucky we were already working on a fundraising appeal."
"No problem, I can just stick murdered and injured Jews in."
It's a conversation one would think would befit a meeting of some Jew-hating white supremacist group. Instead, this rush to cash in on harm to Jews fits only too well in an organization that has mobilized huge amounts of money and people power over many years in their effort to support suicidal Israel policies which have brought nothing but harm not only to Israel but to the United States as well.
Over at Think Progress, Matt Duss showed himself to be equally speedy, but a lot more humane, in his response to the same AIPAC e-mail. His analysis is quite thorough, so I'll hope you go ahead and read it.
I'll just say this: AIPAC, more than any other single anti-Israel organization (and yes, anti-Israel is just what they are, though they are certainly more passionate about the harm they do to Palestinians), has created the atmosphere around this issue that so many identify as McCarthyist.
In light of that, there is only one way I can respond to their appalling behavior as Israelis lay dead and dying, in the wake of one of the most lethal weeks for Palestinians since Operation Cast Lead. It is to paraphrase the words of George Welch at Joe McCarthy's hearings:
AIPAC, you've done enough. Have you no sense of decency at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

The word hypoallergenic simply means "is less apt to cause an allergic reaction." Hypoallergenic down has gone through a careful cleansing and sterilizing process to remove dust, dirt, and other impurities. During processing, the down is sorted and filtered numerous times to ensure the cleanest dust-free product possible. The down is separated from dust and large feathers, washed at a temperature around 120° Fahrenheit, and then dried between 220° and 240° Fahrenheit. It is the excess dust from improperly washed and processed down that causes many people to believe they are allergic to down, when in fact they are allergic to the dust. All of Cuddledown's down has been carefully washed and de-dusted to be hypoallergenic. However, it is always best to check with your physician if you have serious doubts about your reaction to down.

Good: Everything!!!!!!! :)
Bad: a plastic body which cud get losse or suffer wear n tear :(
Comment: Great phone omiting d bad points iv considered about it
Babz Choudhury 23 January 2011
Good: Fantastic user interfcae
Bad: fingerprint magnet, coz of the glossy finish to the design
Comment: I loved using this phone, it's like a updated version of the Nokia N95 but with more features & great for e-mail too. I recommend this phone.
dvfine 30 August 2009
Good: more features than the N95, it's like an utpto date version with extras
Bad: software issues like music player constantly losing music
Comment: I love the N95 but was let down by the battery life. This phone will last 2.5 days on average compared to the less than 8 hours I got from the N95. The extra features like the auto rotating screen and audio themes are a nice touch but the navi wheel I don't see the point. It's more a gimmick than a practical gadget, especailly if you have giant fingers like mine.
The camera is good quality but suffers if you are in poor light and I found that image quality suffered when ever I used any zoom. It's also very difficult to keep the lense free from dust, even with a sliding cover on it.
All is not perfect with the phone.. 2 issues have appeared with mine
1- a software issue with photo editing prevents me from adding effects
2- The music player keeps losing my music and won't find it unless I put it all back on with the pc
I find keeping the phone grease free is impossible.
Apart from the problems which I'm getting sorted through Orange, hopefully, it is a great phone.
jahirul 15 February 2009
Good: OLED screen
Bad: Software/hardware failure, poor camera qulaity
Comment: This is the worst phone I owned ever!
It keeps on restarting when charging on main or USB connection. Also it drops call in middle of call. Poor call quiality. Poor camera quality compare to my old N73.
I sent it for repair.
Pixie 9 February 2009
Good: nice looking phone
Bad: not innovative
Harry Kitten 19 November 2008
Good: Everything is very polished
Bad: It doesn't boil my eggs
Comment: So this is basically the N95 (as the editors review points out) refined and slimmed down. The hardware is tidier, hardier and sleeker. The software has been tweaked and speeded up and new features added. So it's Nokias' best phone.
So if the N95 gets 8.8 from the editor, why does this only get an 8? 9 from me!

HARTFORD — The partial government shutdown has delayed plans to begin moving inmates out of the federal women's prison in Danbury as part of an effort to turn the facility into a minimum-security prison for men, according to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.
Murphy said the Department of Justice informed his office the implementation of the transfers has been postponed.

TO THOMAS JEFFERSON.Quincy, 28 June, 1813. It is very true that the denunciations of the priesthood are fulminated against every advocate for a complete freedom of religion. Comminations, I believe, would be plenteously pronounced by even the most liberal of them, against atheism, deism,—against every man who disbelieved or doubted the resurrection of Jesus, or the miracles of the New Testament. Priestley himself would denounce the man who should deny the Apocalypse, or the prophecies of Daniel. Priestley and Lindsey have both denounced as idolaters and blasphemers all the Trinitarians and even the Arians. Poor weak man! when will thy perfection arrive? Thy perfectibility I shall not deny, for a greater character than Priestley or Godwin has said, "Be ye perfect," &c. For my part, I cannot "deal damnation round the land" on all I judge the foes of God or man. But I did not intend to say a word on this subject in this letter. As much of it as you please, hereafter; but let me now return to politics. With some difficulty I have hunted up or down the "address of the young men of the city of Philadelphia, the district of Southwark, and the northern liberties," and the answer. The addressers say, "actuated by the same principles on which our forefathers achieved their independence, the recent attempts of a foreign power to derogate from the rights and dignity of our country, awaken our liveliest sensibility and our strongest indignation." Huzza, my brave boys! Could Thomas Jefferson or John Adams hear these words with insensibility and without emotion? These boys afterwards add, "we regard our liberty and independence as the richest portion given us by our ancestors." And who were these ancestors? Among them were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams; and I very coolly believe that no two men among these ancestors did more towards it than those two. Could either hear this like a statue? If, one hundred years hence, your letters and mine should see the light, I hope the reader will hunt up this address, and read it all, and remember that we were then engaged, or on the point of engaging, in a war with France. I shall not repeat the answer till we come to the paragraph upon which you criticized to Dr. Priestley, though every word of it is true; and I now rejoice to see it recorded, though I had wholly forgotten it. The paragraph is, "Science and morals are the great pillars on which this country has been raised to its present population, opulence, and prosperity; and these alone can advance, support, and preserve it. Without wishing to damp the ardor of curiosity, or influence the freedom of inquiry, I will hazard a prediction, that after the most industrious and impartial researches, the longest liver of you all will find no principles, institutions, or systems of education more fit, in general, to be transmitted to your posterity than those you have received from your ancestors."1 Now, compare the paragraph in the answer with the paragraph in the address, as both are quoted above, and see if we can find the extent and the limits of the meaning of both. Who composed that army of fine young fellows that was then before my eyes? There were among them Roman Catholics, English Episcopalians, Scotch and American Presbyterians, Methodists, Moravians, Anabaptists, German Lutherans, German Calvinists, Universalists, Arians, Priestleyans, Socinians, Independents, Congregationalists, Horse Protestants, and House Protestants,2 Deists and Atheists, and Protestants "qui ne croyent rien." Very few, however, of several of these species; nevertheless, all educated in the general principles of Christianity, and the general principles of English and American liberty. Could my answer be understood by any candid reader or hearer, to recommend to all the others the general principles, institutions, or systems of education of the Roman Catholics, or those of the Quakers, or those of the Presbyterians, or those of the Methodists, or those of the Moravians, or those of the Universalists, or those of the Philosophers? No. The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence, were the only principles in which that beautiful assembly of young men could unite, and these principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general principles? I answer, the general principles of Christianity, in which all those sects were united, and the general principles of English and American liberty, in which all those young men united, and which had united all parties in America, in majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her independence. Now I will avow, that I then believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature and our terrestrial, mundane system. I could, therefore safely say, consistently with all my then and present information, that I believed they would never make discoveries in contradiction to these general principles. In favor of these general principles, in philosophy, religion, and government, I could fill sheets of quotations from Frederic of Prussia, from Hume, Gibbon, Bolingbroke, Rousseau, and Voltaire, as well as Newton and Locke; not to mention thousands of divines and philosophers of inferior fame. I might have flattered myself that my sentiments were sufficiently known to have protected me against suspicions of narrow thoughts, contracted sentiments, bigoted, enthusiastic, or superstitious principles, civil, political, philosophical, or ecclesiastical. The first sentence of the preface to my Defence of the Constitution, vol. i., printed in 1787, is in these words: "The arts and sciences, in general, during the three or four last centuries, have had a regular course of progressive improvement. The inventions in mechanic arts, the discoveries in natural philosophy, navigation, and commerce, and the advancement of civilization and humanity, have occasioned changes in the condition of the world, and the human character, which would have astonished the most refined nations of antiquity," &c. I will quote no farther, but request you to read again that whole page, and then say whether the writer of it could be suspected of recommending to youth "to look backward instead of forward," for instruction and improvement. This letter is already too long. In my next, I shall consider "the terrorism of the day." [1 ] For the whole of the answer, of which this is a part, see vol. ix. p. 188. [2 ] All the later letters of Mr. Adams are much marred in the copying. Unless these words refer to Messrs. Horne and Howes, two of the disputants with Dr. Priestley in England, the editor cannot explain them. |

Can the WTA's top four emulate their ATP counterparts?
By mastermind5991, 25 Jan 2013 mastermind5991 is a Roar Guru

- Australian Open, Roger Federer, Tennis, Victoria Azarenka
Related coverage
One man started it all in 2003. Roger Federer, still struggling to make a name for himself in Grand Slam tournaments since knocking off Pete Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001, finally achieved his goal of winning a Grand Slam title.
He won Wimbledon in 2003 by defeating Mark Philippoussis in the final. Little did he know that he would start the greatest dominance men's tennis has ever witnessed.
Since then, he has been joined by three sparring partners, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
Nadal was already famous even before he won his first Grand Slam title, at the French Open in 2005. As a 17-year-old kid in 2004, he upset Roger Federer in the third round in Miami and had won his first ATP match as a 15-year-old in 2002.
So it was no surprise he was able to beat Federer in their first Grand Slam match, in the semi-finals of the 2005 French Open. He followed it up by defeating Mariano Puerta, who had defeated Nikolay Davydenko in the semis, in the final.
Nadal has since won another six French Open titles, two Wimbledon titles, and one Australian Open and US Open title each. Additionally, he has an Olympic gold medal from Beijing in 2008, making him the youngest man to complete a Career Golden Slam.
Novak Djokovic was the next to join Federer and Nadal at the top, winning his maiden Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open.
Despite his continuing dominance, he would have to wait another three years to capture his second Grand Slam title, also at the Australian Open, in 2011.
He would later go on to capture Wimbledon and the US Open, as well as the World No. 1 ranking.
Last year, he captured his fifth Grand Slam title, the Australian Open, in an epic five-set final against Rafael Nadal. While he wasn't as dominant in the Slams last year, he still enjoyed a solid season by his standards.
And finally, Andy Murray. He joined Federer, Nadal and Djokovic at the top by reaching his first Grand Slam final at the 2008 US Open, losing to Federer.
He was unsuccessful in three further attempts, at the 2010 and 2011 Australian Opens as well as Wimbledon in 2012. But the latter final was one of significance as he became the first British man to reach the final at Wimbledon since Bunny Austin in 1938.
Though he started strongly, he ultimately succumbed to Federer in four sets, after which he showed his emotional side to a country which had been behind him all tournament.
Perhaps he has one man to thank for him reaching the Wimbledon final – Lukas Rosol, who beat Murray's long-time Grand Slam tormentor, Rafael Nadal, in the second round. If that hand't happened, Murray wouldn't be the man he is right now.
The Wimbledon final set the precedent for Murray to dominate in his own right. At the Olympics, Murray set up a final rematch against Roger Federer, but this time he was able to turn the tables on him, win the gold medal and deny Federer a Golden Career Slam (just 24 hours after Serena Williams claimed that honour).
Then, at the US Open, he won his way to the final where he faced, and defeated, Novak Djokovic in an epic five-set thriller. This saw him become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam singles title, and the only man to win an Olympic gold medal and US Open title back-to-back.
Ironically, it was Murray who denied Nadal the chance to achieve that, beating him in the semi-finals of the 2008 US Open.
I can see comparisons to the current ATP's Big Four (soon to be three due to Rafael Nadal's continuing absence) to the current WTA's Top Four (Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska).
September 11 was already a famous date in the United States in 1999, because it was the very day that Serena Williams won her first Grand Slam singles title, at 17 years of age.
She defeated Martina Hingis, the 1997 champion, to become the first African-American to win a Grand Slam singles title.
She has since completed the "Serena Slam" (winning all four majors simultaneously, between the 2002 French Open and 2003 Australian Open), way before Roger Federer started his own history-making run of winning Grand Slam tournaments.
To cap it all off, she won the Olympic gold medal on Wimbledon's grass courts last year.
But Serena Williams has not had it all her way in the last 13 years. She has suffered numerous injuries in her career, which is normal among top tennis players.
Injuries grounded her in 2003, 2006 and 2010, preventing her from establishing a Roger Federer-like dominance on the WTA Tour. In 2012, Serena Williams enjoyed a relatively injury-free season and this is what has led to the dominance we are seeing today.
Maria Sharapova emulated Serena Williams in winning her first Grand Slam title at 17 years of age and on her seventh Grand Slam attempt.
Ironically, it was Williams she defeated in the final of Wimbledon in 2004, when the American was chasing a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles. She has since achieved great things in tennis, completing a Career Grand Slam and winning the Olympic Silver Medal last year.
However, Sharapova, like Williams, has not had it all her way either. A shoulder injury saw her sidelined from the sport for ten months and subsequently her ranking dropped to World No. 126, just barely avoiding needing to qualify for the 2009 French Open, which was her comeback tournament.
Miraculously, she managed to reach the final eight, five years after she reached her first final-eight at a Grand Slam tournament, the 2004 French. The next two years didn't go so well for Sharapova, failing to reach the quarter-finals at seven subsequent Grand Slam tournaments.
But 2012 was her most consistent year on the Tour since 2006.
She reached two Grand Slam finals (winning the French Open) and was a semi-finalist at the US Open. Additionally, she finished the year ranked World No. 2.
If she can continue with her consistency, who knows, she could become World No. 1 again.
Like Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova before her, Victoria Azarenka had to defeat a past champion for her first Grand Slam title, and it was at last year's Australian Open.
She crushed Sharapova 6-3, 6-0 in one hour and twenty-two minutes, and with that, she did what Natasha Zvereva couldn't 24 years ago – win a Grand Slam singles title or become World No. 1.
She has since dominated at will and last year she won 69 matches – more than any other woman on the Tour. Azarenka is the only one of the big four to make it through to the final of this year's Australian Open.
She will defend her title against China's Li Na.
And finally, Agnieszka Radwanska. She first shot to stardom at the 2007 US Open, when she defeated Maria Sharapova (the defending champion) in the third round.
At her next tournament, the 2008 Australian Open, she knocked out then-World No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova en route to reaching her first Grand Slam quarter-final; she repeated the dose at Wimbledon later that year.
She only started to assert her dominance last year, reaching her first Wimbledon final and reaching a career high ranking of World No. 2.
Grass has always been considered to be her best surface, as she won Wimbledon in 2005 as a junior. Her worst ever result at the All England Club came in 2011, when she was defeated by Petra Cetkovska in the second round; she has reached the fourth round or better on all the other occasions.
Radwanska started 2013 on a hot streak, winning thirteen matches and twenty-six sets before finally being outdone by Li Na in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open yesterday.
This streak included titles in Auckland and Sydney, but now she will have to wait until Roland Garros, where she has historically never performed so well, to capture her first Grand Slam title. With the form that she's showing now, I can't see her failing to capture her first major title this year.
I can see the WTA's Top Four dominating in the long term. And that's bad news for fans of players ranked below World No. 12, as it means certain defeat in the Grand Slams before the quarter-finals.
But you may never know, these players can spring a surprise. Just look at Dominika Cibulkova at Roland Garros and Sabine Lisicki at Wimbledon last year.
They played really well to beat the top seeds at those respective tournaments, only to lose their next match immediately after.

mastermind5991 said | January 26th 2013 @ 5:24pm | Report commentThat's a very informative article you've written. The Fab Four have dominated the Slams ever since Rafa won his first Slam in 2005, with only Juan Martin del Potro (2009 US Open) interrupting their dominance. In comparison to the women, over the past decade they can't dominate consistently for a long time.
Since Roger Federer won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2003, only eight different men, including Federer, have won a Grand Slam title, they are: Federer, Andy Roddick, Gaston Gaudio, Marat Safin, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Murray. Of this list, only Roddick, Gaudio and del Potro have won only one. Andy Murray can win his second tomorrow night.
In comparison to the women: since Mary Pierce won the 2000 French Open, fifteen different women, not including Pierce, have won a Grand Slam title. They are: Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati, Serena Williams, Justine Henin, Anastasia Myskina, Maria Sharapova, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Kim Clijsters, Amelie Mauresmo, Ana Ivanovic, Francesca Schiavone, Li Na, Petra Kvitova, Samantha Stosur and Victoria Azarenka. Of this list, only Myskina, Ivanovic, Schiavone, Kvitova and Stosur have won only one. Li Na or Victoria Azarenka will win her second Grand Slam title tonight.
