The characteristics and uses of beryllium copper alloys depend on beryllium concentration, thus it is important to analyze beryllium in beryllium copper. This application note demonstrates that beryllium in beryllium copper alloy can be routinely analyzed using the ZSX Primusll from Rigaku. The ZSX PrimusII, a tube-above sequential wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer, was equipped with a 4 kW X-ray tube with a Rh target, featuring a ultra-thin beryllium window, and four analyzing crystals covering F to U. In this analysis, the multi-layer analyzer, RX75 (optional) was also mounted in the spectrometer.

Gingrich Says "We Shouldn't Give (Unemployed) 99 Weeks To Do Nothing"
In a response about illegal immigration, Ginrich says, "And then we say, we can't get people to work, well, no, you've given them 99 weeks of money, with no requirement for any effort." |
Saying "we shouldn't give people 99 weeks to do nothing," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says all recipients of unemployment insurance should be required to sign up for a job training program.
In an interview with 970 WLFA radio in Tampa, Gingrich said unemployed Americans should be willing to do agricultural jobs being done by illegal immigrants.
The GOP presidential candidate was asked about Florida's large agriculture industry which depends in part on illegal immigrants.
"It should also be dependent on Americans who are unemployed," Gingrich replied.
"I mean, what is there about our current system? And one example is, we should change unemployment compensation so if you need unemployment compensation, you also sign up for a training program run by a business.
"I mean, we shouldn't give people 99 weeks to do nothing. And then we say, we can't get people to work, well, no, you've given them 99 weeks of money, with no requirement for any effort."
"There's an oddity that we have a very high unemployment rate, but in fact, people won't do, there are whole sections where you say, basically, unless you allow foreigners to come here, the work just won't get done."
He said he does believe there should be a guest worker program, run by "American Express, Visa or Master Card, because they actually know how to run those kind of programs with minimal fraud."

Get a clue!
Well being one of the MANY 99 weeker's whose unemployment ran out last Aug, and still not working, I think Mr. Ginrich should get a clue.... I went through every class that the dept of labor offered, I even did the Georgia Work Ready Certification, which is supposed to help when applying for jobs. I earned a Gold Certificate, I signed up for the work study program but was never called, I then went back to school, did a 2 yr degree in 48 weeks. Graduated with top Honors in Aug. So Tell me what else am I to do.. OH wait, that doesn't count the 1000 applications I submitted, including driving to places to hand them my resume, or to fill out an application only to be told that everything is done on line and they wont even take your resume. I am trying to break into a new field b/c I am no longer able to work the jobs I used to do because of a medical problem. My truck was going to be repossessed for the $900 balance on it, after paying for 5 1/2 yrs on time without missing any payments, and the bank refusing to help me. Thank GOD my sister and her husband helped me keep my vehicle, now my friends whom I have helped out in the past have come through and are helping me now, or else I would be homeless.. I have NOT sat idly by collecting unemployment, I have made every attempt that I know of, but to no avail, and I have people that could vouch for me. With that being said I think Mr Ginrich needs to talk to these companies who are discriminating against the long term unemployed b/c we have been unemployed for so long, and also because of our age.. do something bout the companies having hiring freezes b/c the economy, stop blaming the people who have no control..!!!

Dec15 Coco RochaElizabeth TaylorGivenchyMet BallPressThe CutNew York Magazine THE CUT: The 25 Best Red-Carpet Moments This Yearby The Fug Girls for New York Magazine. #10: Coco Rocha at the Met Ball Okay, technically it's not a gown — it's a vintage Givenchy pantsuit, complete with authentic red-wine stain, which Coco Rocha wore to the Met Ball after purchasing it from an auction of Elizabeth Taylor's things. Had Coco worn it, say, to a movie premiere or to a party honoring some random new smartphone, we might feel differently. But this outfit has two places in time: on Elizabeth in its era, and on Rocha here, as a nod to the "Impossible Conversation" between a deceased superstar and a living supermodel. We loved it as a clever nod to the night's theme, and Coco wore the hell out of it — no mean feat when you try to imagine if Lindsay Lohan, in full Taylor regalia, had worn it in Liz & Dick. We are clutching our phantom pearls in very real horror. See the rest HERE. Permalink

Feb20 BehatiCohatiKarlie KlossLara StoneModeliniaconan o'briennew york timesPress NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINEBy Kavitha Surana Models aren't generally known for their word play. But Modelinia.com's cool new T-shirts are emblazoned with model-related catchphrases that riff on well-known idioms and logos. Now you can Facebook "like" Karlie Kloss or proclaim that "Nobody does it better than Abbey Lee" on your shirt.Backstage buddies Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo combine their names in the "Team Cohati" tee, a take on the pro-Conan O'Brien "Team Coco" graphic. "I like that we've become the Brangelina of the modeling world," Rocha said backstage at Anna Sui. "But I'm kind of obsessed with Lara Stone's Rolling Stones spinoff — that gap tooth is just perfect."The tees are $45 each on Modelinia's Facebook store, and all the proceeds go to Unicef. Get them while they're hot: as the Modelinia editor Bianca Posterli says, "We made them limited edition because our girls are too special to be mass." We won't mention the early catalog years.

Jan12 HaitiHelping OthersCharityLakay PamCoco RochaET CanadaPressMontreal Countdown to Haitiby Coco RochaAs I write this blog I'm in a hotel in Montreal, the home of Canada's largest Haitian population. At 4:53pm today there will be drum roll's heard across the city, and across the world - this is Haiti's traditional form observance for exactly one year that has passed since the terrible earthquake that devastated their homeland. In just 10 days I'll be heading down to Haiti with a few others to see just what has been accomplished in the 365 days that have passed, and how much more still needs to be done. I still need your help though, we only have about two more days for you to send in letters to our office in New York in time for me to take them to Haiti. Remember that these letters are going to children and orphans who have nothing and often have no one either. Letters To HaitiC/O Wilhelmina300 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010-5398 If you feel you don't have time to send in an actual letter, we have set up a special email address you can write to also. We will then print the letters and hand them to the children in person. Please remember to include your name, age and address in all the emails and send them to:email@example.com pass this message onto as many as you can. Whether that be through facebook, twitter, tumblr or just word of mouth. As we consider the earthquake that hit exactly one year ago, let us acknowledge the tragedy of the past while keeping our eyes and hearts open to the prospects of hope for the future.Love,CocoP.S Are there specific things you want me to find out or do while in Haiti? Please let me know in your comments. Permalink

Nov22 Twitterbloggerpresstumblr WELCOME TO MY NEW HOME ON THE WEB!!Actually I've been here for a little while, secretly, but I had to get my handle on this new social media tool before telling one and all. If you're visiting here from my old blogspot - well hello there! Welcome to blogging in 2010!! I've picked tumblr as my new platform to blog from as I feel its much simpler and easier to manage and navigate (look at the tags to the left) than anything else out there. Everything of note that goes on my facebook and my twitter is blogged here - so if you look through the archive you'll find a lot of things that you never saw on blogspot.If you don't already have one, get your own tumblr and follow me! Its the way of the future people…Speaking of which: Have you tried out googles new fashion baby Boutiques.com yet? Its a fashion social media platform designed by the geniuses at google. They have you pick and save your favorite clothing pieces and then use complex algorithms (just using the word algorithm makes it complicated to me) to analyze and suggest clothing you might like. Like pandora for music, it works, mostly… A lot of fashion movers and shakers have accounts already so its fun to follow them also. And you know I couldn't pass up yet another social media forum.

Nov17 PressHelping OthersHaitiCharityBehatiLakay Pam Cohati Teams Up For Haiti Taken from Modelinia.comIt's no secret that Behati Prinsloo's expanding her creative talents into the world of photography. She recently snapped images of her BFF Coco Rocha and her hubby (at the time) to-be and also curated her first exhibit as part of Fratelli Rossetti's Fashion's Night Out event to display their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. But now, in addition to learning how to develop her own film, she's turning her lens to a worthy cause, and teaming up with Coco Rocha to benefit those in need in Haiti. Given Coco's involvement with Lakay Pam and latest plans for two upcoming trips to Haiti, it makes perfect sense that she would bring in her BFF to aid in the good of others. "Coco approached me about the idea and I would love to help her out," Behati explained to Modelinia. "We're trying to go, [to Haiti] but she told me the other day that a disease broke out, so we're going to wait until it calms down. I'm going to go to take pictures to show that they still need help after a year. We were thinking that after our first trip we'll have a gallery exhibit to show what's going on." We're envisioning more than a few behind the scenes videos from the friends, paired with a blowout gallery exhibit, and massive outpouring of support from the fashion industry for Coco and Behati's latest charity project.

Awesome bioball replacement By Sheen on 12/27/13
Sheen would recommend this product to a friendI've been using this product for my reef tank for over a year now and it's working great. It never needed to be take out and washed, it seems to stay clean without any maintenance. I was worried that the pores would be clogged eventually but it wasn't the case. It does produce some sand like particles that settles under the sump. -
A Great Idea By lobro4 on 12/8/13

They work so well I will be buying a larger quantity for my new 240 gallon SPS dominant reef build. They will make a perfect addition to the sump.
Price could be a little better and making them different shapes like live rock is an awesome idea. I have recommended them to friends and they love them also. -

Great alternative to plastic By Robert on 8/3/11
Robert would recommend this product to a friendWashed them the night before and they were still wet the next day. Perfect for when the power trips during those rainy months in Florida. Very pervious product that works great in the sump. Using an Eshopps 300 Wet/dry and using 2 gallons of Marine Pure Ceramic Biomedia in the first compartment and 5 gallons of standard bio balls in the other. All spheres in the wet/dry are wet and are having impressive contact time with the trickling water compared to the plastic bio balls. Definitely going to save up order more when the timing is right!

I don't find it very compelling as a t-shirt, but I really do like the idea and execution.
This would be neat if it were an all-over front and back print.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what part of this is "8-bit"?
A great painting, and a wonderful rendition. This is one of the few shirts in the contest that seemed to me to truly capture the essence of 8-bit.
I can't say I'd wear it, but this is genius regardless. This would look particularly nice if someone _actually_ knitted a sweater.
"The death of the creature of the night"? Interesting word order if that's supposed to be Latin…
YES~! I'm so glad that this printed!
This isn't going to be printed, is it? :(
Is this shirt actually black? In the model photos it looks like a very, very dark purple.
By the way, given the choice between oatmeal and silver, I'd definitely prefer oatmeal, but, if it gets printed, I'll buy it either way (unless it's on AA).
I like mid-distance (the creature, mountains, etc.), but I don't like the foreground, and the background is so-so.
This is really cool, but I wouldn't quite buy it. If nothing else, I think the eyes / teeth should just be the shirt color—no ink.

my son is 9 months old! i can't believe it! time is flying by.
i decided it was time to update my mantle. it was collecting random things and was overall super ugly. for some reason my computer won't show the before picture, even though i've uploaded it twice from my camera. ?!?!?! i don't get it! anyways, before the 'fireplace' had one of those ugly fake wood gas things. i had my husband remove it and i painted the inside white instead of yucky black.
everything was mostly thrifted. those wooden thread spools took a long time to remove the thread! good thing my husband did it any not me ;) i thrifted the candle holder and glued it to the thrifted jar! the window picture had an ugly beach scene in it, so i removed that and used the cardboard pieces to modpodge the two fabric backdrops to cover the huge ugly mirror.
i thrifted that cool scrolly picture frame and removed the glass and sprayed it white. the man is from ikea and i thrifted that cool wooden sewing machine. i love how it turned out!

Introducing Lodge Logic: Ready-to-use cast-iron cookware, pre-seasoned for consistent performance! For more than 100 years, Lodge has been perfecting the process of making cast-iron cookware, formulating the perfect metal chemistry to create durable cookware with incredible heat retention and distribution. In the past, the seasoning process was never complete until someone cooked countless batches of fried chicken, catfish and cornbread in the pan or pot to burnish it to a black patina, creating a piece of cookware that could be handed down like an heirloom. Lodge Logic removes the waiting, thanks to a newly-developed seasoning process. Lodge's electrostatic spray system applies a proprietary vegetable oil combination to deeply penetrate the pores of the iron. The result? Seasoned cast-iron cookware from Lodge you can use it right out of the box.

Got 30 minutes for a holiday project and don't want to get wrangled into some sort of decoupage disaster? Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories can show you just how easy it is to do edge lighting effects. Pictured above are three holiday cards constructed using scored plastic. You can use many different types of clear plastic for this, not just acrylic. The lighting is just an LED on a coincell. Black tape is used to prevent light leaking from the edges. The red and green version above is two stacked layers. This looks like something fun to scale up for a larger project or just to kill some time.
if i made these, i'd scratch up the tip of the led to disperse light better.
i have here, sitting on my desk, ~20 leds with the tip sanded flat, they make for very good accent lighting.
I really like that, simple, unique, personal, non-commercial (well for now).
And to take the idea further, replace the battery with an appropriate resistor, some long thin wire and a USB plug.
The idea reminds me of this: http://metku.net/index.html?path=mods/multilayer-animation/index_eng
I saw something similar to this years ago on metkumods. Looks like they/he have/has a new article up. I thought it was cool then and this version seems to be done without a cnc machine which I don't have running yet.
Perfect for the girlfriend
i think ill build one of these for my girlfriend, its her birthday soon.
Edge-lit holiday cards – Hack a Day very best information thank you.

Petra Kvitová (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpɛtra ˈkvɪtovaː]; born 8 March 1990) is a Czech professional tennis player. Known for her powerful left-handed shots and variety, she has won eleven career singles titles. She reached her career-high ranking of world no. 2 in October 2011, and is currently ranked world no. 6. Her current clothing sponsor is Nike.
Kvitová won the 2011 Wimbledon Championships and the 2011 WTA Tour Championships singles titles, beating Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka respectively, becoming the first Grand Slam event winner of either gender born in the 1990s, and the third player to win the WTA Championships in her first attempt. She has also reached the semifinals of the 2012 Australian Open and the 2012 French Open, losing on both occasions to Maria Sharapova.
Early life[edit]
Petra Kvitová was born to Jiří Kvita[3] and Pavla Kvitová in Bílovec, Czech Republic (in 1990, still Czechoslovakia). Her father Jiří introduced her to tennis.[4] During her childhood, she admired Czech American player Martina Navratilova. Kvitová trained in her hometown Fulnek until the age of 16, and was then encouraged by an instructor to pursue a professional career in tennis.[5]
Playing style[edit]
Kvitová is known for her fast left-handed serves. At the 2011 Wimbledon Championships, she had 36 aces, the third-most of any woman.[6] She hit 222 clean winners and another 12 winners, a record. She is also noted for her heavy forehand and backhand and is capable of creating sharp angles. She also possesses notable variety and timing, and is known to make up for her lack of speed by playing close to the baseline. Due to her high-risk, aggressive style of play she is known to produce a high number of unforced errors in matches.[7][8]
2008–2010: Early career[edit]
Kvitová began 2008 by upsetting Anabel Medina Garrigues in France and former world no. 1 Venus Williams in Memphis, reaching the second rounds of both tournaments.[9] She reached the fourth round of her first Grand Slam tournament, the French Open, in which she lost to Kaia Kanepi in three sets, having defeated Akiko Morigami, Samantha Stosur and then-World No. 12 Ágnes Szávay en route. She advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2008 Zurich Open as a qualifier, thus placing her in the top 50 for the first time.[9]
Kvitová won her first career title in the 2009 Moorilla Hobart International, defeating Alona Bondarenko, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Virginie Razzano, and Iveta Benešová. After suffering consecutive first-round losses in the Australian Open (to Victoria Azarenka), the Open GDF Suez, and Dubai, she reached the third round in Indian Wells, losing to eventual champion Vera Zvonareva.[10] She withdrew from the 2009 French Open due to an ankle injury and lost in the first round of Wimbledon. At the 2009 US Open, she defeated then-world no. 1 Dinara Safina in the third round in three sets, before losing to eventual semi-finalist Yanina Wickmayer in the fourth round. Kvitová was ranked 71 places lower than Safina at the time. At the Generali Ladies Linz, Kvitová reached her second final of the year, losing in straight sets to Wickmayer.[10]
She reached the semifinals of the 2010 Cellular South Cup, and lost to eventual champion Maria Sharapova.[11] She went on to reach the semifinals of the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, defeating Sorana Cîrstea, Zheng Jie, Victoria Azarenka, Caroline Wozniacki, and Kaia Kanepi, before losing to then-world no. 1, defending and eventual champion Serena Williams, in straight sets. She was then guaranteed to reach the top 30 for the first time. Following Wimbledon, she suffered five consecutive first round defeats in her next five tournaments before breaking a six-match losing streak at the 2010 US Open, when she defeated Lucie Hradecká, and Elena Baltacha, before losing to defending and eventual champion Kim Clijsters in the third round; having led 3–0 in the first set, Kvitová lost the next twelve games in a row.[11]
2011: Breakthrough[edit]
Kvitová started 2011 by winning her second career title at the Brisbane International, defeating Andrea Petkovic in the final, and also earning wins over third seed Nadia Petrova and fifth seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. With the win, she achieved the ranking of world no. 28.[12]
Kvitová was the 25th seed at the 2011 Australian Open, where she lost a quarterfinal match to Vera Zvonareva. Her strong run ensured that she would reach a new ranking of world no. 18.[13]
In Paris, Kvitová won her second title of the year by defeating newly crowned world no. 1 and 2011 Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters in straight sets.[14] Once again, Kvitová's ranking rose to a new high of world no. 14. She led the Czech Fed Cup team to the final round, with semifinal wins over Yanina Wickmayer and Kirsten Flipkens.[15]
She won the title at the 2011 Mutua Madrid Open, defeating Alexandra Dulgheru, Chanelle Scheepers, second seed Vera Zvonareva, Li Na, and Victoria Azarenka.[16] She made her top-10 debut after the tournament at world no. 10. The following week, because Jelena Janković failed to defend her points in the 2011 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Kvitová moved one place up to no. 9.[13]
Kvitová was the ninth seed at the 2011 French Open. She defeated Gréta Arn, Zheng Jie, and Vania King in straight sets, before losing to eventual champion Li Na in the fourth round, despite leading 3–0 in the deciding set.[17]
Kvitová won her first Grand Slam title as the eighth seed at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. She defeated Alexa Glatch, Anne Keothavong, 29th seed Roberta Vinci, 19th seed Yanina Wickmayer, 32nd seed Tsvetana Pironkova, and fourth seed Victoria Azarenka on the way to the final, where she beat fifth seed Maria Sharapova in straight sets.[18] She became the first left-handed female player to win the singles title since Martina Navratilova in 1990, the first Czech player to win a Grand Slam singles title since Jana Novotná won Wimbledon in 1998, and the first Grand Slam tournament winner of either gender to be born in the 1990s.[19][20]
Following Wimbledon, Kvitová lost to Andrea Petkovic during two matches of the US Open Series. She was then upset by Alexandra Dulgheru at the 2011 US Open, becoming the first Grand Slam champion to lose in the first round of the following Grand Slam without winning a set.[21]
Kvitová's form improved at the 2011 Toray Pan Pacific Open, where she lost to Vera Zvonareva in the semifinals, thus reaching the world no. 5 ranking.
At the 2011 Generali Ladies Linz, she beat Rebecca Marino, Patricia Mayr-Achleitner, Daniela Hantuchová, Jelena Janković, and Dominika Cibulková to collect her fifth title of the season.[13]
She won the 2011 WTA Tour Championships in Istanbul, becoming the third player to win the title in her first attempt.[22] During the round-robin matches, she beat Vera Zvonareva, Caroline Wozniacki, and Agnieszka Radwańska in straight sets, putting her through to the semifinals. Her next opponent was Samantha Stosur, whom she beat to reach the final—a match against Victoria Azarenka for the world no. 2 ranking, which Kvitová won in three sets.[13] She concluded 2011 by helping the Czech Republic team win the Fed Cup and was named WTA Player of the Year and ITF Women's World Champion.[23]
At the beginning of 2012, Kvitová was widely expected to reach the world no. 1 ranking.[24][25] She stated that attaining the position "would be nice", but that her priority was to improve her game.[24] Kvitová opted not to defend her title and ranking points in Brisbane, choosing instead to participate in the Hopman Cup exhibition with Tomáš Berdych. The pair went on to win the title, defeating France in the final. She won all of her singles matches at the event, defeating Tsvetana Pironkova, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Caroline Wozniacki, and Marion Bartoli.[26] Her next tournament was the 2012 Apia International Sydney, where she lost in the semifinals against Li Na. At the 2012 Australian Open, Kvitová was the favourite for the title. She defeated Vera Dushevina, Carla Suárez Navarro, Maria Kirilenko, Ana Ivanovic, and Sara Errani to advance to the semifinals, where she lost in three sets to Maria Sharapova, having been a break up in the third set.[26]
She continued her long run of wins in singles matches indoors (32 straight matches) with her four victories in Fed Cup against Germany and Italy in 2012, scoring hard-fought wins over Julia Görges, Sabine Lisicki, Francesca Schiavone, and Sara Errani.
In Indian Wells, Kvitová lost in the third round to Christina McHale in three sets. In Key Biscayne, she exited in the second round after losing in three sets to Venus Williams. At the 2012 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, she convincingly defeated Francesca Schiavone and Angelique Kerber. However, she lost in the semifinals to Maria Sharapova in a tight two-setter.[26] At the 2012 Mutua Madrid Open she was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Lucie Hradecká. Her next clay-court tournament was the 2012 Internazionali BNL d'Italia, where she lost in the quarterfinals to Angelique Kerber.
Kvitová was seeded fourth at the 2012 French Open. She advanced to the semifinals for the first time in her career, after defeating Ashleigh Barty, Urszula Radwańska, Nina Bratchikova, Varvara Lepchenko, and Yaroslava Shvedova. There she lost to Maria Sharapova, the eventual champion. [27]
Defending champion Kvitová's Wimbledon journey came to an end after she was overwhelmed in straight sets by four-time and eventual champion Serena Williams in the quarterfinals.[28]
Kvitová competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics for the Czech Republic where she reached the quarterfinals. There she lost to Maria Kirilenko.
Kvitová won the Rogers Cup in Montreal, Canada by defeating Marion Bartoli in the 3rd round, Tamira Paszek in the quarterfinals, Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals and Li Na in the final. Kvitová had her first two top 10 wins of the year at the Rogers Cup over Bartoli and Wozniacki. She played the Western & Southern Open where she reached the semifinals losing to Angelique Kerber. She won her second title of the year in New Haven, where she defeated Lucie Šafářová in the quarterfinals, Sara Errani in the semifinals and Maria Kirilenko in the final. She also secured the win in the total US Open Series. Coming into the US open series Kvitová had 3 wins and 7 losses against top 20 players, but was able to improve that record to 9 wins and 8 losses following her win in New Haven. At the US Open she lost in the fourth round to Marion Bartoli.[29]
On 24 October 2012. Kvitová was forced to withdraw from the 2012 WTA Tour Championships in Istanbul with a virus.[30] She helped the Czech team to defend its Fed cup title, going 1–1 in singles matches against Serbia in the final. Before Czech Republic won 3–1 in the series through Lucie Šafářová.
Kvitová was seeded eighth at the Australian Open. She drew former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone in the first round and won in three sets, before suffering another early exit, losing to Laura Robson in the second round after leading 3–0 in the final set.[31]
Kvitová was awarded a wildcard into the 2013 Open GDF Suez following a poor Australian summer which netted just two wins from three tournaments.[32]
In Fed Cup, Kvitová and the rest of the Czech team met Australia and she started with a win in singles over Jarmila Gajdošová and followed it up with a three-set victory over Samantha Stosur, saving a match point in the process. This won the Czech Republic the tie and sent them to a semi-final tie against Italy where she lost against Roberta Vinci in straight sets and beat Sara Errani in 3 sets. Despite that the Czech team lost against the Italian team.
She won her first title of the year in Dubai, where she beat Sara Errani in the final. Followed it up with a final on clay in Katowice where she lost against Roberta Vinci.
After Katowice, she played in Stuttgart, beating Annika Beck 7–5 6–7 6–3 and Julia Görges 2–6 7–6 6–2 before losing 3–6 5–7 to Li Na in the quarter-finals. Her struggles on clay continued in Madrid, where she beat Yanina Wickmayer 4–6 7–5 6–4 then lost 6–2 2–6 3–6 to wildcard Daniela Hantuchová. Kvitová's next tournament was Rome – after receiving a bye in the first round, she struggled past Sabine Lisicki 6–4 0–6 7–5 before losing to Sam Stosur 5–7 6–2 1–6.
At the French Open, Kvitová beat Aravane Rezaï 6–3 4–6 6–2 in the first round and Peng Shuai 6–4 6–3 in the second round. She was defeated in the third round by current world number 54 Jamie Hampton in a match where she struggled 1–6 6–7 (6–8).
At the US Open, she fell in the third round to Alison Riske, causing her to drop out of the Top 10 for the first time since 2011.
At the 2013 Toray Pan Pacific Open, she won her second title of the season, defeating Venus Williams in the semifinals and Angelique Kerber in the final. She will return to the Top 10 as of this win.
She then defeated Li Na in the quarterfinals of the China Open before losing to Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals. She made the semifinals of the WTA Tour Championships and ended the year as World No. 6.
Kvitova started her season by playing 2014 Hopman Cup with her boyfriend Radek Stepanek hoping to have a good 2014 season where she had successful results in 2012 by playing Hopman Cup. She won all her singles matches.

Since the houseing bubbles collapse was the root cause of the current "crisis" the logical alternate plan would be to use some of that money to help pay down the mortgages on the 1.3 million homes that are in forclosure right now because of the collapse. There were alot of good alternate ideas that would've done alot more good than buying up shitty assests to keep the rich from being slightly less rich. Theres also better ideas as to where to get the money rather than borrowing against future tax dollars. Like get the rich guys to sell 2 or 3 of their vacation homes. | |

Just an update, this group is still going VERY strong over 2 years later :)
It's still a very casual and social group - no set topics or mandatory attendance; show up and leave whenever you like, grab a coffee or sandwich and just chat with fellow atheists/agnostics/etc.
We still have new members showing up almost every week, typically 10-15 people engaged in a few casual conversations at our Sunday meetup. Some members take a more active approach and organize debates or events on the side.
Note, original facebook page is defunct, our main one is here:
Meetup page is still valid and where all of our organized events are posted:
Hope to see you there!

Rice and Spice
Manhattan – Lower East Side
Rice and Spice

Manhattan, NY 10002

The menu at the former Big Eat is Chinese-restaurant long, with most items less than $10 and big enough to share. Steamed mussels arrive fresh and plump in a light broth of lemongrass and galangal. Frog legs are crisp and meaty like the best fried chicken, and they"re topped in true Thai manner with a medley of finely chopped raw vegetables. A sweet-spicy sauce adds zing to the grilled sirloin steak. Wine is also a bargain--New Zealand"s Babich sauvignon blanc is just $4 a glass. The big, brightly lit dining room has a little panache: One wall is painted tangerine; the opposite wall has a lime-green panel decorated with Thai writing and four embedded TVs playing the same Thai movie.

My sister, a doctor who was on call the week prior, missed her morning-of-the-cruise flight due to a patient complication that kept her. And, as a result, she missed the cruise. Ugh, not a great way to start.
Not surprisingly, there is no refund for missed cruises. What WAS surprising is that Princess customer service said that my sister's stateroom reverted to them. So, in spite of no refund and even though my father had paid for the room and was on board with the rest of the family, we could not use the empty stateroom. I was shocked. How could they not refund anything and yet not let her family use the room? I appealed to customer service several times. We had a family member with IBS with us, who had a migraine one day, and it would have been a godsend for him to have a quiet place to retreat to. But no, customer service (Stephanie) simply repeated the party line that the room had reverted to the Princess, and that they would keep it for an emergency. (Interesting -- do they not otherwise make provision for emergencies?) In fact, the room remained empty for the duration, except for one early day when staff were in there painting it. (I guess that modest refurbishment qualified as an emergency? We in the next door staterooms didn't love the paint smell... Seems possible it might have contributed to the migraine, in fact.)
I waited in line several times to review this situation. Stephanie offered to set me up for a call with her boss, but was inaccessible in person and didn't return phone calls, and I didn't want to ruin the whole cruise by waiting in line beyond the first two days.
In addition, one of our pieces of luggage was not delivered the first day. Kind of stressful - imagining a week without anything for one of our party. We went and found it eventually, but courtesy of another long wait in line at customer service. UGH. Between the crazy lines to board and then the lines to try to get use of my sister's room, and then the line to try to recover our luggage and then the lines to fix mistakes on excursion vouchers, the first two days were NOT good.
We were lucky that we had great weather.
I thought the food was good. We loved our two waiters. (Thanks again Rei and Carlos!) Our room steward did a great job, and was really friendly when we bumped into him from time to time. The Zumba classes were really fun. My son enjoyed some time in ShockWaves, the kids' room, and the staff there were friendly and nice. We particularly liked our Cozumel snorkeling experience -- really fun and friendly staff (Latino dancing on deck was a hoot);saw a baby shark, baby turtle, the expectable fish. Really mediocre lunches on the excursions, though. The Belize river trip excursion included an un-advertised hour and half in a bus, which I wouldn't have chosen had I known about.
I thought the entertainment was generally pathetic, with the notable exception of fiddler David Klinkenberg.
The pool area was so loud -- with bands, piped in music, TV, amplification of inane poolside games -- it was close to unbearable. I guess the presumption is that there should be no poolside conversation?! Of course I would have gone to the quiet pool, but I had my 9 yr-old with me, so couldn't.
We got on-board a week after the Princess had had an outbreak of virus. My son got sick and was vomiting for one day after we got off the ship.
In short, we had a mixed experience, but generally enjoyed the cruise EXCEPT that the decision to deny us my sister's room created a huge amount of frustration and ill-will. Needlessly, it strikes me.
I don't believe anyone in my family will be on any future Princess cruise. And we are spreading the word of our disappointing and unfair-feeling experience to anyone who asks about our holiday...
