All the rage: Survey takes look at cell phones, driving habits
By 12/28/2000 00:00:00
Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE — A recent survey released by Progressive Auto Insurance claims '69.4 percent of Texans say they eat behind the wheel.'
I don't know about you, but I'm guessing the other 30.6 percent either don't have a car or don't eat behind the wheel because they spend their time punching tiny, pointy-ended plastic straws into drink pouches for people in the back seat who are screaming: 'I'm thirsty!'
The press release went on to say '45.6 percent of respondents in Texas report expressing their anger at other drivers (by shouting or swearing, using hand gestures, cutting off other drivers or speeding) and more than 56.7 percent of those talk on their cell phones.'
Talk on their cell phones? What exactly does talking on the cell phone have to do with expressing anger at other drivers? Are they calling the other drivers?
'Hello, this is Diana in the white SUV - yeah, I'm about three cars back… Did you not SEE that you cut me off back there?'
Curiously absent from the survey is a corresponding percentage of respondents who say they do NOT express anger but DO talk on their cell phones. Chances are, the number is greater. But it would be hard to vilify driving cell phone talkers without the anger factor.
Public opinion would not be properly swayed against cell phone use if the report were to say, for instance, '62 percent of busy moms use their cell phones while driving from soccer practice to boy scouts' or 'fathers anxious to arrive at the ballet recital on time conduct business on their cell phones on the way home from work.'
During the survey, Progressive also asked respondents to classify their cars as 'classy,' 'sexy,' 'smart,' 'sporty,' 'reliable' or 'aggressive.' It had never occurred to me to apply ANY of these adjectives to my vehicle.
I might have said 'cluttered' or 'sticky.' I might have said 'under warranty' or 'expensive.' I might have said 'white' or 'needs to be washed.'
I might also have answered the survey from my cell phone while driving, no doubt pausing at least once to admire a picture drawn by a small boy in the back seat, or to switch audio tapes or turn up the radio, or even fish around behind me for a toy that fell onto the floor board.
Yes, people 18 to 24 are most likely to talk on their cell phones, people over 55 are least likely to express anger at other drivers, moms are most likely to do three other things while driving, and people who classify their cars as 'sexy' may very well be most likely to apply makeup while driving.
And, yes, all these things are likely to cause accidents on today's congested highways and byways. But legislation is not the answer - and yes, some government entities are considering legislation prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving. What will be next? Drive-through restaurants, illegal? Noisy children in the car, illegal? Busy schedules, illegal?
Think about it.

Grinding Out Games
Do the terms "airwalk grab," "fakie" or "kickflip" mean anything to you? A few years ago, I would have thought they were from a foreign language. Now, with a little experience working with teenagers at the city skate park, I discovered these are maneuvers performed by millions of skateboarders throughout the world.
The city of Painesville in Ohio hosts an annual skate-park series called The P-Games, which is open to skateboarders, bikers and roller bladers, ages 12 and up. There are four rounds of competition on the second Saturday in June, July and August. The fourth and final round in September is called the P-Games Finale.
Competitors earn points for their performances in each monthly round. After the Finale, whoever has the most points in that age bracket and category wins a P-Games trophy. The cost to enter is $10 per round or for all four rounds $20, and includes a P-Games T-shirt. The money raised from the games goes into a fund to improve the skate park.
In The Beginning
In 2001, community members, local business leaders and city officials hosted a program called Rock the Ramp, where a closed-off street and portable ramps provided a place for skaters to show off their skills. Skaters and bikers were charged $8; the general admission price was $5. Raffle tickets also were sold, and prizes were donated by local businesses. The event was energized with musical performances by local rock bands. Three of these events helped the city secure its own skate park. This was the birth of the P-Games.
In 2006, a devastating flood destroyed and damaged many homes and property in the area, washing several pieces of the skate park into a nearby river. To keep the third annual P-Games going, a local skate shop donated portable ramps, and the contest was held in a parking lot in the center of town. Money from this event and previous events, as well as Federal Emergency Management Assistance and city funds, was used to resurface and purchase new equipment for the skate park.
Building Interest
When the city first started this event, parks and recreation employees placed flyers at the local library and convenience stores. They also contacted local schools for the event to be included in the morning announcements.
The turnout was significant, but we wanted more. We went to the skate park and talked to skaters about the event. Not only did they receive flyers, but we asked some to help promote the event. Nine of 10 kids were enthusiastic to receive a handful of flyers and gave them to friends and other skaters. This was one way to make the P-Games "their event." The word-of-mouth promotion helped increase the turnout.
The next step was to ask the local skateboard shop to distribute flyers. Not only did this improve the numbers, but the shop donated posters and stickers to be used as giveaways during the event, which helped gain credibility with the area skateboarders.
Safety And Rules
Before the event, a park department crew sweeps and cleans debris from the skate surface. A skater then waxes the rails in the park, which helps the boards slide cleanly during the event and prevents injury.
Rules for the event include the following:
• All participants must fill out a waiver to compete.
• A parent's signature is required for any participant under 18.
• Helmets are required while the use of other protective gear–wrist, shin and knee pads–is encouraged.
• Equipment must be buckled to participate.
• Competitors are not allowed to use each other's equipment.
• Poor sportsmanship and foul language are cause for disqualification, without a refund.
• Shirts must be worn at all times.

Hacking the FAFSA Article Type: Quick and Dirty
Don't tell anyone we told you this.
Students must face it, but few understand it. The elusive FAFSA application is your key to government grants, loans, and a work-study job. Unfortunately, the FAFSA has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Students who get the most money from the government are frequently the ones who simply understand how the FAFSA works. Here is how to optimize your government aid eligibility:
Empty Your Accounts
If you have college cash stashed in a checking or savings account in your name, get it out. Immediately! For every dollar stored in an account held in a student's name (excluding 529 accounts), the government will subtract 50 cents from your financial aid package. That means that if you have a full Pell Grant heading your way, but the government notices that you saved $1,000 cutting yards all summer long, they will reduce your aid package by $500. Moving funds into an account held in your parents' name will help—the government only subtracts 20 cents in financial aid for every dollar in a parental account—but keeping it in a grandparent's or relative's account is even better since those accounts are not included in the federal financial aid methodology. If generous family friends are not an option (and they may not be since there are tax ramifications to shifting funds), open a 529 plan and put your money there. Funds stored in a 529 plan are assessed at a much lower rate and only subtract up to 5.6 cents for every dollar invested.
Coordinate Your Family
If you have siblings heading back to school or your parents are thinking about going themselves, make college a family affair. The more people your household has in school at once, the higher your college costs and the higher your financial need. Waiting a few years to attend school at the same time as your siblings can double your federal financial aid package.
Pay Your Debt
When deciding how much aid you will get, the federal government will look at how much money you have in the bank, but they will not take your debts into consideration. If you or your parents have credit card debt, pay that off before applying for financial aid. The government also will not look at funds stored in home equity on your primary home, retirement plans or life insurance policies so it pays to fund those before filling out the FAFSA.
Simplify Your Needs
Households with adjusted gross incomes of $50,000 or less may be eligible to fill out a lighter version of the FAFSA called a Simplified Needs Test. Designed for low-income households, the Simplified Needs test does not take any financial assets into consideration, meaning you will be eligible for substantially more aid. Woo hoo!

First, I'm a guy, and I hope I'm not crashing your party, ladies.
I've had two.....one with two women, sort of an impromptu, unexpected, and unplanned one. The situation just presented itself, and I was soooo turned on......
Remember the game Simon? colored lights and tones on a 1970s electronic game. Well, it ended up as 'strip Simon' and I won...
The other time was a set-up deal with a married couple. Two guys, one wife.
I'll tell you ladies, the two MFM is the way to go. With two women, I was so busy I wore myself out really quickly, and gave more to one gal than the other. They left together with one mad at the other, and both mad at me. But we made up.
The two guys worked great. It is a long story, but she got all she could wish for, and so did we.
I hate writing out here in the open where everybody can read it. If you want any more details, or advice, drop me a PM, and I'll answer your questions.
|Fri, 10-04-2013 - 11:11pm
We kind of do this, although we skip dinner! We meet our 3rd (guy) at a bar, they get a few drinks in them and then we go to the hotel room...works perfectly!
Hmm - It would have to be romantic where I get to dress up. Maybe we go to a nice restaurant - have some nice conversation with a lovely meal and some wine. Perhaps a little slow dancing followed by a trip back to my house. A little more wine as we get cozy and follow my hubby's lead from there....

Mira Nair's ''Vanity Fair'' is about to hit theaters on Wednesday, but the director may not be done with colorful epic adaptations of quintessentially British novels. In fact, her next project may be ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.'' In an interview published Monday in the Times of India, she said, ''I'm getting offers to direct 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.' I read it over the weekend. I'm still deciding.'' The Indian-born director added, ''I'm not letting all this go to my head. I'm grounded. I practice detachment. It helps me keep my balance.''
If she takes the job, she'd be the series' fourth director, after Chris Columbus (who directed the first two), Alfonso Cuaron (who directed this year's ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban''), and Mike Newell, who's currently shooting ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' with an eye toward a Nov. 2005 release. ''Phoenix'' would presumably star the same cast of kids, if they haven't gotten too old, and would hit theaters in June 2007. One person who may be able to persuade Nair to take the job is her 12-year-old boy. ''My son Zoharan's excited,'' she said. ''I've seen all the Harry Potter movies with him."

While attending ISACA's North America CACS 2014 Conference, I was impressed by insightful presentations on cloud security, big data, security GRC, security programs and frameworks, not to mention the opening and closing keynote presenters.
Likewise, I appreciated the diverse events at the conference (everything from breakout workshops to a professional photography station), the role of ISACA's Young Professionals Subcommittee in promoting engagement among attendees, and the interactive communication opportunities for all.
As I look back at North America CACS, key messages stand out:
People—not computers—catch frauds
Harry Markopolos' keynote presentation explored his exceptional work on Bernard Madoff's fraud case, which demonstrated the whistleblower's process of conducting holistic fraud examinations. Markopolos highlighted the red flags of potential frauds and answered the question, "How did one man lose $65 billion?"
As the presentation ended, I considered how we, as IT professionals, should rethink how IT is aligned with business objectives and strategies. Or, at least, how IT controls are designed and implemented for fraud-detection purposes.
Cloud and big data security
A major issue with cloud computing is data privacy, especially the data-residency problem, as most organizations worry about their business/customer data leaving the country or jurisdiction system. In some cases, your primary data might be stored within a geographic area as required, but the backups are loosely controlled by the cloud service provider (CSP). Organizations must perform due diligence to ensure their data is properly stored and protected. Government agencies will define which types of data can be put into the cloud and the FedRamp certification program can provide independent view on the CSP's ability to clearly define and describe system boundaries.
Another key consideration discussed at CACS is having a proper notification process in case the CSP makes changes. Old data + old data=new data.
New cybersecurity programs and roles
Cybersecurity is drawing attention from organizations across sectors. Two cybersecurity initiatives were discussed at North America CACS. One is the NIST Cyber Security Program, which is expanding NIST's main focus from government. I believe that the content overlaps with the existing NIST security risk-management program. Presenter Victoria Yan Pillitteri stated that NIST is planning to clarify the relationship between the new cybersecurity program and NIST SP800-53.
The other initiative is ISACA's Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX), which will include a certification program (Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate) and resources such as webinars, mentoring programs, training courses and an online community.
Be situationally aware of risks
The concept of "risk management" is a constant, all while technologies advance and the context in which technology is used is in perpetual flux. According to presenter Hubert Glover, when people think about high-level risk management, such as technology risk, they must consider every aspect of organizations, as every aspect of organizations are enabled, powered by and supported by IT.
Executive teams are considering how to turn risk into results, especially as they encourage participants to do innovative things in innovative ways. During his "Turning Risk into Results" presentation, Dr. Glover illustrated ways to evaluate risks in the context of time, place and mass. He skillfully demonstrated how turn risk into results by leveraging a business mode and risk framework, focusing on addressing organizational, operational and strategic risks.
Another critical aspect around risk management, proposed by keynote presenter/astronaut Mike Mullane, is to be aware of your risks in diverse situations. Using the Challenger disaster as an example, Mullane explained the dangers of accepting—in a changing work environment—a "tolerance" that was previously defined as "intolerable." The astronaut stressed that it is not uncommon for organizations to fall victim to a "normalization of deviance"—getting away with shortcuts from best practices until the shortcut becomes the norm, leading to problems.
A few more nuggets from North America CACS
- Do not be a passenger. Everyone's suggestion on how to manage (security) risks and improve processes counts. The executive team and managers should listen to various opinions—one might save the organization some day.
- Information security should be integrated into business process and systems by design. The add-on approach will cause you more time, money and effort.
- Do periodic resets to best practices standards. The fact that you've been successful previously doesn't mean you will be successful again. To avoid predictable surprise, don't let a "can do" attitude guide you into a shortcut.
Note: This blog was also recently published on the ISACA.org web site. For more relevant research on information security and risk management from Info-Tech see the following:

Teens can fight hunger at the library with Hunger Games Challenge
The Cobb County Public Library System is offering teens an opportunity to fight hunger in Cobb County while having fun with its Hunger Games Challenge. The event will be held on Thursday, September 13 at 4 pm at the Central Library. Middle and high school students are encouraged to attend, and registration is required.
The challenge will be based on the popular Hunger Games book and movie, which tells the story of a post-apocalyptic society with rampant hunger, where teens fought to save their lives and for food for their district.

Man Accused of Hauling Bombs on I-70 Facing Federal Charges
COLUMBUS -- An Indiana man is now facing federal charges after police say they found explosives, detonators, firearms and ammunition during a Jan. 1 traffic stop in Madison County.
He was stopped for speeding along I-70 by an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper.
The charge accuses Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 44, of Moores Hill, Ind., of possessing 13 destructive devices when he was stopped.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, federal law requires that destructive devices be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Possession of unregistered destructive devices is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Boguslawski has served with the National Guard in four states, including Ohio, and received intelligence training in Indiana. A Guard spokesperson told ABC 6/FOX 28 in Columbus that Boguslawski's security clearance has been suspended.
Boguslawski originally was facing state charges. those were dismissed. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Preston Deavers on the federal charge at 2:30 p.m. Monday.

NYX Cosmetics NYX Black Label Lipstick Reviews
Love these lippies!The NYX Black Label Lipsticks are great, moisturizing with good pigmentation and no offensive smell or taste. There is a faint fruity scent, but it's very light and disappears quickly after application. The plastic packaging is reasonably solid and good looking. I purchased 2 colors: Dusty Rose, a sort of matte medium pink, and Dream of Africa, a shimmery copper. Dusty Rose is more versatile, b...read moreut I like both colors. The lasting power is about average for a lipstick. The Black Label product is substantially more pricey than the NYX Round Lipstick, but I like the extra moisturizing properties and the fancier packaging. At $7 a pop, I'll happily purchase more colors. — 3 years, 5 months agoJoojifish | 2 reviews

THE ATHEIST'S COMPLAINT:How many believers were there at the time of the ascension? Acts 1:15 tells us that there were 120 believers after the ascension, while 1 Corinthians 15:6 says that there were more than 500 believers before the ascension. Is there a contradiction?
RESPONSE:The number of disciples who were in Jerusalem were 120 (Acts 1:15). That does not mean that the total number of disciples was 120. The apostles had specifically been told by the Lord to stay in Jerusalem, awaiting the coming of the Promise of the Father (Acts 1:4), which was the power they would receive from the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Other disciples (who were not apostles) had not been commanded to be in Jerusalem.
The 500 which are spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:6 were likely in Galilee, and may have seen Jesus on the mountain where He had appointed His apostles to meet at (Matthew 26:32; 28:7, 10, 16-17).
There is no contradiction.

Adam Dunn lauds Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto for keeping the faith
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN firstname.lastname@example.com July 3, 2013 10:24PM
Chicago White Sox third baseman Conor Gillaspie misses a foul ball hit by Baltimore Orioles' Manny Machado during the fifth inning of a baseball game in Chicago, Wednesday, July 3, 2013. (AP Photo/Paul Beaty)
The facts: 1:10 p.m., CSN, 670-AM.
The starters: Zach Britton (2-2, 4.50 ERA) vs. Jose Quintana (3-2, 3.97).
Updated: August 5, 2013 6:41PM
Adam Dunn is thankful now that White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto wasn't a yes man while he was struggling.
"When things weren't going too good the first couple of months he kept doing the same drills, and when I wanted to change things up he really wouldn't let me do it,'' Dunn said Wednesday, "because he knew I was in a good position.''
Manto's persistence is paying off. In the last 21 games through Tuesday, Dunn raised his average to .199 by hitting .315 with a .427 on-base percentage and 1.130 OPS. During that span, he hit nine homers and drove in 23 runs. He collected his 55th RBI with a two-out double in the first against the Baltimore Orioles' Scott Feldman on Wednesday and went 1-for-4 on the night.
"I've had a lot of hitting coaches in my career, minor leagues and majors,'' Dunn said. "The good ones never stop trying to figure out what's going on when it's going bad, and when it's going good they know how to keep it going. He's one of, if not the hardest-working hitting coach I've had. He gets all the credit.''
When the Sox quickly established themselves at the bottom of most offensive categories in the American League, Manto's effectiveness was questioned.
''Oh, yeah. It comes with the territory,'' Dunn said. "But he does everything above and beyond what the job description is. After the game he's in the cage working with people. He's available 24/7. He's in the cage now, probably been there since 1 o'clock. It's a shame things have turned out the way they have because he's one of the good ones.''
Cup at Cell
Blackhawks Patrick Sharp and Brandon Bollig brought the Stanley Cup for a ceremony before the game against the Orioles. Sharp and Bollig threw ceremonial first pitches.
The last time the Stanley Cup was present at U.S. Cellular Field was in 2010 with coach Joel Quenneville, when the Sox hosted "Champions Night," and all four major sports trophies — the Stanley Cup, Lombardi Trophy (NFL), Larry O'Brien Trophy (NBA) and Commissioner's Trophy (MLB) — were present.
"It's nice having it paraded around town,'' manager Robin Ventura said. "Everybody likes seeing it. They should take that thing everywhere and run it around.''
Keppinger up
Ventura said Jeff Keppinger, who was the designated hitter on Wednesday, will play more with Paul Konerko on the disabled list. Outfielder Jordan Danks "will probably get a few more opportunities'' as well.
Keppinger, who doubled in the second inning, was hitting .351 in his last 27 games through Tuesday. Before going 0-for-4 and re-aggravating his back Tuesday, Konerko had safely in seven consecutive games with a homer and five RBI.
This and that
Alex Rios collected the 200th stolen base of his career during the first inning, and it was a worthwhile steal at that. With two outs, Rios got into scoring position for Dunn by swiping his 15th base.
◆ Left-hander David Purcey, who joined the team and was added to the 40-man roster, had been named to pitch in the Triple-A All-Star Game on July 17 in Reno, Nev. Purcey, 32, was 0-2 with a 3.03 ERA at Charlotte. Catcher Josh Phegley also was picked for the game. Phegley is batting .316 with 14 homers, 18 doubles and 40 RBI.

Wed, Mar 05, 2003
US Global Aerospace, Inc. has installed its Guardian™
Anti-Ballistic Cockpit Security Door on an Airbus A320 in Denver
(CO), as part of the final phase of the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration's Supplemental Type Certification process.
The complete installation was accomplished in
under 8 hours -- less than one shift -- on an Airbus A320 owned by
Ryan Air, and was validated by Future Jet Aerospace Inc., an
independent aviation consulting firm (Dallas TX). The Guardian Door
combines USGA's kinetic energy absorbers, lightweight
G-Lam™ anti-ballistic material and a proprietary passive vent
system to provide access security and ballistic and decompression
protection to the flight crew while eliminating the need for costly
and time consuming airframe structural enhancements common on
alternative cockpit security solutions.
"Other doors on the market can take over 200 labor hours and
more than four days to install. Taking an aircraft out of service
for such an extended period could potentially cost an aircraft
operator millions of dollars in lost revenue.
"Our Guardian Door is not only secure and robust;
we believe it also presents the most expedient and cost-effective
cockpit fortification solution available," said John Robinson, CEO
of USGA. "The light weight of our door (less than 50 pounds,
compared to 85 to 120 pounds for others) results in additional fuel
savings over the long term. In addition, the Guardian Door design
has only 14 parts, which equates to lower potential component
failure rates than competitive designs, some of which have in
excess of 80 different parts."
USGA has also made significant progress in developing commercial
construction wall panels that integrate the anti-ballistic
qualities of USGA's proprietary G-Lam material with blast
mitigation and fire suppression technologies. These lightweight
panels are designed to be compatible with current construction
techniques and easily retrofitted to existing facilities.

I LOVE the Mighty Mega containers. They are a great "small" size container and can be placed on the ground or hung by the ring in a tree or elsewhere. The Torch is incredibly bright to only use 3 AAA batteries (and so is the Ground Zero light). I have one of the large Trax stickers on my camper (they come in black or white). The SigMarx are a great alternative for Pathtags as a signature item. We got a bunch of their stainless steel water bottles for the employees in my office at Christmas. We had GxProxy put our City logo on one side of the bottle and each employee's name engraved on the other._________________If you hide it, they will come!

Dublin Airport
Dublin International Airport (DUB)
The busiest airport in Ireland, Dublin International Airport is a clean and well-run facility located just six miles (10km) outside of downtown Dublin. The airport hosts mostly short flights from other cities in Ireland and the UK, with a growing selection of routes to international holiday destinations in Europe and the US.
Serving more than 18 million passengers each year, Dublin International Airport is a convenient gateway to Dublin and Ireland as a whole, with good deals available on several low-cost UK-based carriers. The airport itself is cheerful and offers a good selection of restaurants and shops, though not much else.
The airport is situated seven miles (11km) north of Dublin, near the M50 and M1 motorways.

Wind, Power Outages Hit D.C. Region
Thousands of people lost power in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., as a windy Wednesday night turned into a blustery Thursday.
As of 11 a.m., Dominion Virginia still has more than 1,800 outages -- mostly in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.
About 1,200 BGE customers without power in Montgomery County.
SMECO has 1,300 customers in Charles County still without power.
PEPCO is down to around 300 outages.
Potomac Edison, NOVEC, and Rappahannock Power are also reporting scattered outages.
If you lose power, the power companies ask that you report your outage as soon as possible, even if you believe your neighbor already has reported it. This helps utility crews pinpoint the problems and get power back on faster.
You can text the word "power" to 91035 for a list of electric company phone numbers.

Updated 11 a.m. Thursday - Although the wind advisory ended at 11 a.m., strong winds will continue today, blowing out of the northwest at 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts mixed in.
Highs temperatures today could reach the upper 30s, but the winds will make it feel like the 20s.
Thursday night will be clear and cold with less wind. Temperatures should fall into the teens and 20s.
Friday will be much warmer with highs back in the mid 50s under partly cloudy skies.

In an interview with WTOP this morning, PEPCO's Bob Hainey said crews are working hard to restore power to customers. About 850 PEPCO customers are without power this morning due to high winds across the region.
"The bottom line is that all of these storms are different, and we're going to work until we get everyone back on," Hainey said. "The crews are out there working as quickly and as safely as possible."
"It is a bit difficult with the winds blowing the way they are," Hainey said, and outages occurred despite the company's ongoing tree-trimming efforts.
Hainey also wanted to remind people to stay safe. Customers should always assume that downed wires are energized and stay far away from them, Hainey said. Customers can report downed lines, poles and power outages to PEPCO by calling 877-PEPCO-62.

MELBOURNE, Australia — It was back in 2011 that Li Na remembers first feeling the benefits of being a big tennis star.
Victoria Azarenka fights off nerves to reach Australian Open final
MELBOURNE, Australia — Victoria Azarenka had to endure some anxious moments before and after her win over American teenager Sloane Stephens.
Li Na wasn't flustered at all in an easy victory over No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova.
The result is that Li will play for the Australian Open title against Azarenka, who ended Stephens' unexpected run to the semi-finals that included a quarter-final upset of 15-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams.
Another player who had little trouble Thursday was defending champion Novak Djokovic, who looked like he was conducting a tennis clinic in overpowering No. 4 David Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in just 1 hour, 29 minutes.
"I played perfectly," he said in a post-match TV interview. "I played incredible tennis."
She had just won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open and was headed back home when she saw her face on TV at the airport. Then she got upgraded to business class.
"They came up to me and said, 'We know you. You just won the tournament.' So (they) moved me to business class," she said. "I was (thinking), 'Oh, this is not so bad.'"
Back in those days, Li also remembers feeling a lot more nervous about her big matches. Before her big win at Roland Garros she was the Australian Open runner-up, becoming the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam final.
On Saturday, the 30-year-old Li returns to the Australian Open final where she faces defending champion and No. 1-ranked Victoria Azarenka.
Now seeded-sixth, Li says she's more accustomed to the fame that comes with being one of China's biggest sports stars. She feels more grounded for this final and less anxious, she said.
"Last time was more exciting, (more) nervous because it was my first time to be in a final," Li said Friday. "But I think this time (I'm) more calmed down, more cool."
Both women say their goal is to keep cool and not let their emotions get the best of them on the big day.
In that respect, Li enters the final with an advantage.
She is emotionally and physically fresher than Azarenka, who said she needed to recover from her stressful semi-final.
Azarenka advanced in straight sets over American teenager Sloane Stephens 6-1, 6-4 in their Thursday semi-final. But the victory was packed with drama and ended with the top-ranked player defending herself against accusations of gamesmanship by leaving the court for a medical timeout.
Serving for the match at 5-3, the 23-year-old Azarenka wasted five match points, lost her serve — then asked for a timeout. She sat with a trainer and left the court during a nine-minute medical break. She returned to close out the match by breaking Stephens' serve.
But she raised suspicion during an interview on centre court immediately after the match.
"Well, I almost did the choke of the year," a relieved Azarenka told the crowd. "I just felt a little bit overwhelmed. I realized I'm one step away from the final and nerves got into me for sure.
Azarenka, who has a history of on-court tantrums, didn't help herself in a television interview after the match.
"I couldn't breathe. I had chest pains," she said, when asked why she left the court. "It was like I was getting a heart attack."
After surviving her semi-final, Azarenka had a post-match news conference where she said she was dealing with a rib injury that made it hard to breathe. She said her earlier comments were a misunderstanding and denied that she took a medical timeout to compose herself.
Australian Open officials said the tournament doctor reported that Azarenka had left knee and rib injuries.
"Right now, I just need to calm down with the whole situation (and) make sure that my body's right," Azarenka said.
Li had a much more routine victory in the semi-finals.
She needed just 93 minutes in Thursday's other semi-final to power past No. 2 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2. She then charmed an adoring crowd by cracking jokes during an on-court interview. She kidded about her husband's snoring, her attempts to lose weight and the tough training by her new coach Carlos Rodriguez — before turning to the stands to thank him.
"You don't need to push me anymore. I will push myself," she told Rodriguez, the former coach for seven-time Grand Slam winner Justine Henin, who seems to have a knack for guiding players past their nerves.
"I don't know what happened today," Li said later. "I just came to the court feeling like, 'OK, just do it!"
Li is in top physical form and is making a comeback to the championship weekend at a Grand Slam. After becoming the first Chinese tennis player to win at a major in 2011, she hit a slump. But since hiring Rodriguez six months ago there have been rapid results.
Li charged into the semi-finals at the Australian Open without dropping a set. After beating No. 4-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarter-finals she secured herself a return to the top five in the rankings.
If the reaction at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday was any indication, the crowd favourite for the final is Li — who won over a lot of fans in her match and perhaps even more as a result of Azarenka's situation.
What should I worry about? I was working so hard in winter training. I think now everything is coming back to me
Australian crowds love their defending champions but dislike any whiff of bad sportsmanship. Accusations against Azarenka immediately surged through social media platforms.
By reaching the final, Azarenka retains her No. 1 ranking, but has said that's not her focus.
"I'm really hungry to defend my title," she said. "That is my first goal… to win the tournament."
If she masters her jitters and comes into the final focused, Li will have a tough fight.
Azarenka leads 5-4 in career matches, including the last four times they've played. However, Li has a better record at Grand Slams, having beaten Azarenka at the 2011 Australian Open before reaching the final that year. Li also beat the Belarussian later that year at the French Open before winning the title.
"What should I worry about?" Li said when asked if she was nervous for the match. "I was working so hard in winter training. I think now everything is coming back to me."
On the day of the final, here's her plan: "I come to the court, take my racket and enjoy the tennis."

Gear Question
how big is the sleeping bag compartment?

how big is the sleeping bag compartment?

Big enough to fit a 0 degree North Face Tall Snow Leopard.
It's a bit snug and I have to cinch my bag in real tight but it works.
Member since
I was able to fit a Garcia bear container in it, and it has a 1/2 pad glued on top of it for sitting.

Sort By :
"A nice addition to our Christmas cookie collection! We added a dash of cardamom , too. A definite keeper recipe."
"Quick, tasty, easy and serves a lot. Have been asked for and have shared the recipe with many others. Great for a quick sweet bite."
"Awesome! I have made these several times...and am always asked for the recipe...Using a little less honey is good too...Otherwise no changes...Always a big hit! Tartlets come already baked... I have made the nut mixture the day before and prior to going to event. fill the tarts..."
"The shells I bought were already baked so I don't know why you would have to bake them again like others have stated. The only big change I made was not using all that honey, it makes them thin and runny. I just add until combined and then filled and put in the fridge. They were good the first time and after the change in honey great!"
"Very easy to make. Everyone at a wedding rehearsal dinner loved them!!"
