Nina Sky's "Heartbeat" Video: Idolator Premiere
Nina Sky are back with a new album next week title, appropriately enough, Nicole & Natalie (named after the first names of the identical twin musicians, whose last name is Albino). And today we've got the premiere of the video for the album's eurphoric second single "Heartbeat", which finds the pair turning a grassy field into an impromptu club with some eager pals.Astoria, Queens duo
"When we filmed the video for 'Heartbeat,' we knew we wanted it to be more about the feeling of the song and less about the storyline," Natalie tells us. "The colors, environment, and everyone dancing in their own element creates this surreal feeling of freedom. It's just about listening to the rhythm inside you and letting that rhythm guide you"

There have been lot of rumours and discussions about the recent Adobe Flash Player Remote Code Execution vulnerability.The most interesting thing is that it is a cross-platformvulnerability. Due to the fact that Flash can run in different browsersand on many different platforms, the discovery of this onevulnerability could leave all those operating systems and devices thatare Flash-enabled open (e.g., including some advanced smartphones) tothe attack.
The vulnerability has already been tested on Windows, Apple Mac, andsome Linux distributions, but many other devices that are Flash-enabledcould be affected by the problem too. For example, we verified that theNintendo Wii gaming console is also affected. Wii has an Internetchannel that runs a special version of the Opera browser with Flash,and yes… we verified that it is affected by the problem too! The Wiiconsole completely hangs while browsing a specially crafted video.Security Response posted this video that shows the different effects of this bug on different platforms, including Windows, Apple Mac and finally Nintendo Wii:
The vulnerability discovered affects .FLV files, the video fileformat used by Flash. This file format has recently become hugelypopular due to the success of YouTube.com and other such sites that usethis file format to show their videos. This in itself presents anotherdanger due to the fact that malicious .FLV files can be uploaded tovideo hosting sites, at which point anyone who attempts to watch thatvideo using a vulnerable flash player will be affected.
Ultimately this means that the creator of the malicious flash filedoes not even need to host the file on his own server. Instead he canupload it to any video hosting site, and then send his victims a linkto that legitimate site. There's already a proof-of-concept video totest the vulnerability and crash many browsers uploaded on YouTube.This situation also presents a new problem for video hosting sitesthemselves, who may need to scan all new content for malformed data andeventually sanitize the crafted videos.
While a public exploit of this vulnerability for the Windowsplatform was posted on a popular exploit Web site, there is no evidenceof public exploits for Linux or Mac so far. Of course, the possibilityof successfully executing code on Wii is still far away. But this newbug presents the console hackers with another weak point to exploittogether with the old Opera SVG bug that was reported few months ago.
To be keep yourself safe, make sure to update your Flash Player with the latest patches from Adobe.
For Adobe patches, (not for your Wii) click here.
The original advisory from Stefano Di Paola for this bug is available here.

Unfortunately, the application is only available for the residents in the U.S. If you are based in any other country, you'll be happy to know another developer managed to get his site up and running, showing the availability for iPhone 5s in several countries, including the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Singapore, Canada, China and Hong Kong.
Appidemic: Blippex search engine
After checking out the Blippex search engine for OS X for several days, I would say Microsoft's Bing team and the folks at Google needn't be losing any sleep over the new competition. At least not yet. Blippex is still very much a work-in-progress. However, it will be interesting to see how rapidly it improves.

Dropbox Datastore is great, but to complement—not replace—my hard drives
While I think Dropbox Datastore is a great idea and substantial enhancement to the Dropbox service, I'm a long way from ready to say goodbye to my hard drives. For one thing, Internet access is far from universally available. Then there's the matter of cost. The 100GB, 200GB and 500GB storage options are priced respectively at $99, $199, and $499 on an annual subscription fee basis.
The Last Door web game review
The Last Door is a strange game. It's a deliberate throwback in lots of ways, from its exaggeratedly primitive pixel graphics to a point-and-click adventure that focuses more on story than on puzzles. However the designers turn what could be a funny retro adventure on its head with a subtle supernatural horror story that has genuine shocks and an atmosphere designed to unease. To wit: the game opens on a prologue where the character you control hangs himself.
Hands-on with the Opera Next Web browser public beta
With version 15 of its Opera Next indie Web browser, Opera has discontinued development of its in-house Presto browser engine and adopted the Open Source Chrome engine. I'm a longtime Opera fan, having used it off and on (recently mostly on) since the mid- to late '90s, and after running the Opera "Next" version 15 public beta for over a month now, I can say that this new iteration is the best Opera yet.
Camino browser ends development
Camino—the free, Open Source Mac-only browser—will no longer be developed, according to the Camino website.

Filipinos Stage Anticorruption Protest in ManilaAugust 26, 2013 6:00 PM
Share with others:
MANILA -- Tens of thousands of Filipinos protested in Manila on Monday, outraged over accusations that an estimated $141 million in public money had been diverted into the coffers of politicians and their associates.
The peaceful four-hour rally was fueled in part by photographs posted on social media sites by the daughter of one of the suspects in the case, showing an extravagance that earned the young woman the title "the new Imelda," after the free-spending wife of the longtime dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
President Benigno S. Aquino III, the fifth president since Marcos, has made fighting corruption a hallmark of his three-year-old administration and has received accolades from international organizations for improving government accountability. But scandals have persisted over extrajudicial killings by the police, sexual harassment by diplomats, and extortion and bribery within government agencies.
The one that drove protesters into the streets on Monday involved accusations in a government audit that members of Congress worked with associates to divert discretionary public funds to sham organizations and questionable projects in return for bribes.
The National Bureau of Investigation has issued an arrest warrant for a Manila businesswoman, Janet Lim-Napoles, who is suspected of having facilitated some of the corrupt transactions with lawmakers. Her passport has been revoked, and she is the subject of a nationwide search.
Ms. Lim-Napoles denied the accusations in news media interviews conducted before the warrant was issued, but public anger grew with the circulation of the photographs showing the lavish living of her daughter, Jeane Lim-Napoles.
The young woman, a 23-year-old fashion school graduate, sprinkled her Facebook, Twitter and other social media pages with photographs and videos of herself on vacation in London, Los Angeles and Paris. Other photos cataloged her luxury shoe collection and showed her sitting atop a Porsche, while a video of her 21st birthday party, held at a hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., showed rows of expensive liquor and tables of sushi.
She was also photographed with Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake at the MTV Movie Awards.
There have been a series of corruption cases involving a variety of government agencies this year.
In March, Sungjun Park, a fugitive hiding in the Philippines who was wanted in his native South Korea in connection with an investment scheme, casually left the Philippines via the Manila airport.
Rather than capturing him, Philippine government agents assisted him in avoiding detection while immigration officers used their cellphones and looked the other way. The scene was captured by airport video cameras and broadcast nationwide in the Philippines.
On July 23, the chief of the Philippine National Police announced that 14 officers were being detained in connection with the July 15 killing of two high-profile criminal suspects in their custody. There was speculation that the men were killed because they were going to reveal the names of corrupt police officers.
While those officers were in detention, several detectives in an unrelated case were placed under investigation by the Department of Justice after witnesses claimed that they stole cash and drugs from an underworld leader they had arrested.
In another scandal, labor officials were accused of sexually harassing Filipino women working in the Middle East who were seeking shelter at Philippine embassies. On Aug. 15, one woman told a Senate committee that she had been raped by her employer in Saudi Arabia and that when she sought help at the Philippine Embassy, an official asked her whether she had enjoyed it.
Despite the scandals, Mr. Aquino has received praise from the World Bank, financial rating agencies and others for his efforts to combat the country's persistent corruption. He has pursued an anticorruption campaign that seeks to monitor more closely how public money is used, while at the same time aggressively investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials.
In 2011, corruption charges were filed against his predecessor as president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. That same year, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who was appointed by Mrs. Arroyo, was impeached amid accusations that he had hidden wealth. The accusations of corrupt government programs have been bolstered by an exhaustive report by the Aquino administration's auditing agency.
The latest Global Corruption Barometer report, produced by the anticorruption group Transparency International and released in July, found that 38 percent of Filipinos perceived corruption as having decreased significantly in the past two years. That is an improvement from 6 percent in 2010 and 2011. Of the 107 countries involved in the survey, the Philippines was one of 11 where respondents reported an improving situation.
The report also said that although the Aquino administration could point to some high-profile successes, it had not been as effective in changing the institutions of government.
Vincent Lazatin, the executive director of the Transparency and Accountability Network, an anticorruption group, said that high-profile convictions did little to stop the rampant bribery and extortion within Philippine government agencies, including the Bureau of Customs, the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the police.
"There hasn't been a trickle-down effect on everyday corruption," he said. "The corrupt cop on the street, the corrupt customs official, they haven't changed."
Clearly exasperated by the recent scandals, Mr. Aquino has responded in part by excoriating members of his administration.
In his July 22 State of the Nation address, Mr. Aquino surprised many by shaming government agencies and officials, at one point citing multiple episodes in which the police had apparently executed criminals in their custody.
"Whoever masterminded all of this, prepare yourself," he said. "I am close to learning who you are."
Mr. Aquino pointed to the Bureau of Customs as one of the most corrupt government agencies, asserting that its officials take bribes to allow guns and drugs to be smuggled into the country.
"One can almost hear these public officials say, 'I don't care if the weapons go to criminal elements; I don't care how many lives are ruined by drugs; I don't care if our fields remain barren forever,'" Mr. Aquino said. "'What matters is that I am rich.' It's every man for himself."
For the Bureau of Immigration, Mr. Aquino appeared to express humiliation as much as anger over the escape of Mr. Park, the Korean fugitive.
"He is wanted in Korea, and their government asked for our assistance in securing his arrest," Mr. Aquino said, addressing the senior immigration officials in the audience. "How can we face them now, when our own government employees are the ones who enabled his escape?"
His rebuke caused senior officials to offer their resignations, and some departments were reorganized. In addition, Mr. Aquino's spokesman said on Friday that the president was advocating the restructuring of the scandal-plagued program that led to the protest on Monday.
Mr. Lazatin said Mr. Aquino faced an uphill battle in trying to fix government institutions that had retained corrupt practices through decades of different presidencies.
"Corruption in these government institutions is well entrenched," Mr. Lazatin said. "Short of burning down these agencies, there is little that can be done."world

Redistricting commission holds first meeting
Now that new census data for Virginia have been released, the process of redrawing the state's political districts can begin in earnest.
The Independent Bipartisan Advisory Commission on Redistricting is tasked with revising Virginia's congressional and legislative districts by April 1. The commission, created by a Jan. 10 executive order issued by Gov. Bob McDonnell, held its first full meeting last week on the medical campus of Virginia Commonwealth University.
In his address to the group, McDonnell said the commission is "bipartisan by definition." He stressed the importance of working across party lines.
The governor called the commission's task both important and historic. Political boundaries have never been redrawn in Virginia by a politically divided General Assembly, he said. Currently, the House of Delegates is Republican-controlled, while the Senate has a Democratic majority.
The advisory panel will work independently and present its findings and recommendations by the April deadline. Legislators should not give input or direct the commission, McDonnell said.
The Virginia Constitution requires that congressional and state legislative district lines be redrawn every 10 years. The lines must reflect new population data collected in last year's federal census.
Districts must be "contiguous and compact" and, according to the executive order, "drawn in a way that maximizes voter participation and awareness." The order also recommends that lines "reflect commonsense geographic boundaries and strong communities of interest."
The bipartisan commission is chaired by Bob Holsworth, founder of Virginia Tomorrow, a company that examines emerging trends in politics, society and business. Holsworth, a former political science professor and administrator at VCU, has served on several advisory groups for state government and the city of Richmond.
He said the redistricting commission will seek input from the public. Meetings will be held across the state in the coming months to ensure citizens have the opportunity to participate.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

|Has anyone tried growing chia as a garden crop in Florida? Any words of wisdom appreciated.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by shear_stupidity 9B (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 8:45
|I didn't exactly grow this as a crop "on purpose." I bought Chia seeds at a local health food store, soaked them and spread them onto a ChiaPet for fun. They grew quickly and then started to decline. So I peeled the "coat" off the ChiaPet and laid it on the ground in my garden. It grew so fast! It got dappled sun from early morning until around noon or so. Nothing here seemed to bother it (pests, disease, etc...)
Very easy to grow, as long as you soak the seeds first. A friend of mine tried to get his ChiaPet to grow faster, so he skipped the soaking and just wet the seeds and spread them onto his "pet." The difference was shocking! Definitely soak!
|shear, when did you plant? did they flower and make seeds? how big did they get? how long to maturity? The way you describe it, they started out very thick. Did most survive to maturity of did they "self-thin".
Does anyone else have any information? From what I found, the end of the hurricane season would be the time to plant. One site I found recommended 1/4 cup of seed per square foot. That sounds like a lot to me. They supposedly get up to two feet tall.
- Posted by shear_stupidity 9B (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 0:23
|I spread them on the chia pet probably in April I'd guess. About 2-3 weeks later, I laid the "pelt" on the ground and watered it for maybe 3 days (because I didn't expect it to work!)
They did eventually die of "self thinning." Before that, they grew to about 18 inches tall, very lush and beautiful. No flowers (that I saw/was aware of), and no "volunteers" this year... though I disturbed that area quite a bit, on purpose, this year. I personally feel they weren't getting enough sun.
I wish I had more information, but I hope this adds something for you!

DURHAM, N.C. Mice born without a certain enzyme can resist the normal effects of a heart attack and retain nearly normal function in the heart's ventricles and still-oxygenated heart tissue, according to a study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center.
The findings raise the possibility of a therapy that could stimulate the growth of blood vessels and limit damage from a heart attack as well as prevent an attack from occurring at all, the scientists said.
Normal mice that went through the same experiment had full heart attacks, suffering damage to their heart pumps and a lack of oxygen in their heart tissues, which are typical effects of a heart attack.
The scientists found that in mice lacking the enzyme GNSOR (or S-nitrosoglutathione reductase) the blood was able to get around the blockage point that normally would cut off blood to the heart because of remarkable capillary growth in these animals.
"There were blood vessels everywhere in these mice born without the enzyme," said Jonathan Stamler, M.D., a Duke professor of medicine and biochemistry and author of the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online on March 27. "The hope is that this discovery someday could result in a therapy for new blood vessel growth that could be a sort of natural bypass in humans. Perhaps it could also benefit patients with peripheral artery disease, who cannot walk, for example, but who might be able to grow new blood vessels in their legs."
Stamler said his research group might look into the question of improving peripheral artery disease.
"Normally if you block the major artery to a heart, oxygen tension drops in the tissues you can't get oxygen to the tissues and they die," Stamler said. "This appears to be a major step forward in the science of stimulating blood vessel growth around the heart, which many people have been trying to do."

Will you make friendship with your classmate if he is from a simple middle class family and you are from one of the
Never! If I found someone's company enjoyable, it doesn't even matter if he's a hobo; a friend is a friend. Loyalty, trust, attitude and having fun together is what matters to me most. Jerks from all walks of life are just jerks. They're no different from the stereotypical high school snobs who bully the unpopular ones just to feel superior.
I wouldn't allow my status to interfere or determine who my friends are. And if people do, the friendship may not even last. I would think Middle class people would be uncomfortable becuase the rich tend to put themselves on a high pedestal sometimes.
True friends are really hard to find.
See in Ireland that dosnt happen its never gangs that get involed.. did you fight back you have to stand up for your self and no it dosnt make you a begger it just makes you friendly and good person that even rich people like and they are usually stuck up
Look this might sound bad or might be a bad idea but the ones that beat you up shoud be punished and never let away wit it so you should beat them up 1 by 1 and show them not to mess with you.. thats the way i do it to show them whos boss.. but if there really big or good fighters get a baseball bat
Sorry but they will never leave you alone until you stand up for your self and get 1 freind whos got your back and you will get through it

Some companies allows you to burn up your advantage quantity as you need this and recognize just about all fees due to your dental professional but many will follow a repayment (up to the every year greatest).

What have they done, PES6 was truely awesome and this game is lacking in every department. Gameplay is almost there and would be if the game would flow like its suppost to. Get anywhere near the box with more that 5 people in the box it slows up and becomes walking pace. It really is like having a PC game with a PC that aint got the power. Whats worse i had a game with 3 or my friends yesterday and it was unplayable. Game slowed to a constant snail pace. Replays are unwatchable u have 2 watch them in slow mo to even make out what happened. NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!!!
Well players and pitch are a huge improvement on the PS2 version. But as for the croud they may aswell be on a MEGA DRIVE. This is a PS3 for GOD sake not a MEGA DRIVE. Whoever approved this as ready to go on sale for £50 in some places needs shooting.
All in all this game is not worth the money. Its been rushed out for the joint release with all platrforms, i would rather wait for another 3 months for a finished game. I truely hope they bring out an update to sort out the gamplay as for the graphics they best be improved for next year or there will be no football for me. (Fifa is 2 dam slow)

We paid a visit to FOX TV's "Good Day Maine" program to prepare the popular Green Goddess Dressing. Easy to make, great on salads, sandwiches and more, here is the recipe:
Green Goddess Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup roughly chopped scallions
1 cup fresh basil
1/4 c lemon juice
2 cloves of minced garlic (hint from Bill, lots of people think they can skip this step and just throw in the whole clove but it will never become fine enough to be evenly distributed)
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp kosher salt
2 anchovy filets (optional, but they add great flavor)
Mix in a food processor and you're ready to go! The green color develops naturally in a few hours.

Great draw. Sveta davai!
May 26th, 2007, 03:15 PM
Good draw. I just fear Shahar Peer :rolleyes:
May 26th, 2007, 04:00 PM
Definitely a sense of deja vu. I was in Melbourne one memorable Sunday back in January. Shahar Peer beat the pants off Sveta - but then Sveta was not on form then. Now Sveta is on form, and on clay. So this time it will be different. So apart from that one possible match-up in the 4th round, yes, a good draw for Sveta.
May 26th, 2007, 06:45 PM
How is Shahar on clay? I have no idea.
May 26th, 2007, 06:52 PM
good luck Sveta!
May 26th, 2007, 07:36 PM
How is Shahar on clay? I have no idea.
I don't know it either! Didn't hear much about her in the last weeks :rolleyes: We can't expect anything from Nastya, but if she's in form than it could become difficult already in the second round...
May 27th, 2007, 01:00 AM
with mauresmo not playing well atm, and clay being sharapova's weakest surface sveta is probably the favourite from this half to make the final. and they'd have to make the semis to play each other. definately a couple of dangers in kuzys half of the draw but all in all a very good draw.
May 27th, 2007, 01:16 PM
Good luck Sveta!!
I fear also Shahar but a good draw on the whole.
May 27th, 2007, 01:17 PM
How is Shahar on clay? I have no idea.
Shahar is a very good clay courter. She has 2 or 3 smaller clay court titles and ook Hingis to the limit in the fourth round last year. Clay really suits her game IMO.
May 27th, 2007, 07:50 PM
Looks like she's not scheduled to play till Tuesday. It might even stop raining by then.
Shahar's form on clay? well, she fell early, can't remember whether it was Rome or Berlin, just the other week - and that meant Sveta was spared having to play her, having been in the same section of the draw. But anyway let's hope for the best this week, come on Sveta!!
Meanwhile, I've been thinking what chants and cheers we can use to encourage Sveta. I remembered a pop-song from some time around 1990, which was popular in the UK and maybe in other countries too, and it went 'this beat is... this beat is... this beat is technotronic' chanted with an even, quaver-like rhythm. It would fit quite well to chant 'Svetlana... Svetlana... Svetlana Kuznetsova' to the same rhythm. I shall maybe try that when I (hopefully) see her at Eastbourne! That is, of course, after she has done well at Roland Garros...

Thanks for all the information about Shahar on clay.
p.s. Chants! I think the French have actual songs
they sing to cheer for their Fed Cup team, so that
would be a lot of fun.

"I am sorry to announce that Svetlana's first-round match in Paris has been delayed, by approximately twenty-four hours, due to persistent rain in Paris. Please accept our apologies for this delay, and any inconvenience this may cause."
Do I sound like the announcer at the station when the train is late?
Looks like Sveta will not be playing till Wednesday. The order of play suggests they're trying to get men's first round completed tomorrow.
May 29th, 2007, 06:43 PM
Another possible Sveta song came into my mind on the way to work this morning. (Silly wacky idea of mine...) The music for this one is mainly instrumental, played by lead saxophone with a backing to it, and then every so often, you must know the one I mean, someone calls out "Tequila!!". Well, instead of that, we could cry out "Svetlana"...
May 29th, 2007, 06:59 PM
I think she'd get a kick out of that.
Hey--if you go to Wimbledon this year, make sure you sing "Happy Birthday"
to her. I actually saw her on the practice courts on her b-day, but forgot
to sing to her. (I had some fat man squishing the life out of me and it
was so unpleasant I forgot. Bad excuse, I know, but I had never experienced
the Wimbledon crowds before, and this guy was seriously trying to squash me
against the wall.)
May 29th, 2007, 10:50 PM
May 29th, 2007, 10:56 PM
I was actually there on her birthday last year too. She was playing her first-round match on Court 2, and I was right at the back, in the free standing area. Well distant from Sveta, but had I been close enough I sure would've wished her a happy birthday. Whether that would have been the Stevie Wonder version, or the one by Altered Images, I dunno... Of course this year her birthday will be on the Wednesday, first week of Wimbledon.
May 29th, 2007, 11:06 PM
Getting back to the thread subject - well, she's on tomorrow, first match. Maybe I'll sneak a look at the scores while I'm at work!! COME ON SVETA !!!!
May 30th, 2007, 12:58 AM
Yeah, I was on Court 2 as well--the Oprandi match.
I swore I would never go back to Court 2 (but I'm sure I
will someday.)
First match on tomorrow? That's probably 2am my time.

That was a stroll in the park this morning. I looked at the score about 25mins after the match would have started and she'd already won the first set! Pity she lost three games in the second... Just a gentle warm-up, ready for her next match which will probably be scheduled for tomorrow if the rain holds off ;-)

Oh deary me. Svetlana. Love-5 down in the first set. Almost had to put the Tequila on hold. I think they were delayed by rain as well during the match. Good job she managed to recover the situation. A day off now before the next match.
By the way, I read earlier in the week that Nadia has got injured, does that mean Sveta won't be playing in the doubles?
Jun 1st, 2007, 12:59 AM
Yeah, she and Petrova are out of doubles. (Or at least that's
what someone posted in GM.)

Sveta won 62 63. Next is probably Peer, who will be much tougher.
Jun 2nd, 2007, 01:14 PM
I think it will be Peer as well. I hope she can take revenge this time ;)
Jun 2nd, 2007, 01:54 PM
Peer is battling hard at the moment against Srebotnik.Not even sure she'll win ;)
Go Sveta,whoever you face next!!!!
Jun 2nd, 2007, 02:11 PM
Peer won 6 straight games in the 3rd set. Sveta has to be ready, and stay focused the whole match.
Jun 2nd, 2007, 02:34 PM
Good match today, with Mauresmo out... I hope that Sveta can win this
year in Rolanga :wavey:
Jun 2nd, 2007, 03:36 PM
Ok...Revenge against Peer then.I hope Sveta sends her home :D

She looks good! Also looks like she's having fun, but is
focused/intense. Good good good.
Jun 2nd, 2007, 06:40 PM
I'm happy. Nice straightforward straight-sets win. Great photos too, thanks!
Till tomorrow. Hoping she'll make it past Shahar Peer in straights as well. Maybe Shahar will be tired after playing three sets today.
Go go Svetlana!! Go Sveta!!
Jun 3rd, 2007, 12:23 AM
She's doing great. :yeah:
Come on Sveta!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jun 3rd, 2007, 12:12 PM
Sveta is up 54, on serve. If Sveta is patient, she should win.

Sveta got ahead 64 50, then started playing very sloppy, now 53
Jun 3rd, 2007, 01:01 PM
She won 6-4 6-3 :D :bounce:
Jun 3rd, 2007, 01:27 PM
What a great win!! I'm happy again!! Well done Sveta..
Jun 3rd, 2007, 01:45 PM
Oh, revenge is so sweet!
Just been looking at the match statistics. They're pretty impressive (except maybe the unforced-error count) - see http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/stats/day13/2118ms.html
Here's to the quarter-finals ... probably v Ana Ivanovic. (Remember, she beat Sveta in Berlin I think it was, or maybe it was Rome. Early days yet, Ana is on serve in the first set of her match v Anabel M-G at this moment.)
PS - Mary, I bet you had a sleepless night but will be overjoyed having awoken to the good news today. ;)
Jun 3rd, 2007, 02:21 PM
Sveta will probably play Ivanovic, who beat her in Berlin. She needs to focus all match.
Jun 3rd, 2007, 03:43 PM
Ivanovic next.
The photos of today's match:
Jun 3rd, 2007, 04:10 PM
Oh, revenge is so sweet!
PS - Mary, I bet you had a sleepless night but will be overjoyed having awoken to the good news today. ;)
I forced myself to watch the AO match last night, the one
where Sveta was recovering from bronchitis. (I did the same
kind of thing before Sveta played Justine in...Berlin? is
that right?) And I realized: 1.) Sveta can beat her and
2.) that if Peer had won, I would have accepted it, since
Peer is good, very good.
But yes, I slept through today's match (I've been ill, and needed
to try to sleep through the night), but did have a restless night
(I've been running night fevers, which are never good for sleeping
Sveta's belly is taped. Does anyone know what's going on?
Jun 3rd, 2007, 04:27 PM
I also noticed her belly is taped but I don't know the reason.I didn't see the match as it was not shown here.But I watched the end of Ivanovic's match and the serbian kis playing very good.Anyway I think if Sveta is focused she can win her.
Jun 3rd, 2007, 04:30 PM
Nice win! I hope she'll take the second revenge against Ana ;)
Davai, Sveta.
Don't know anything about her belly :confused:
Jun 3rd, 2007, 06:41 PM
So Sveta managed to beat her nemesis Shahar Peer. This can only add to her confidence. Today after her match she admitted she isn't yet playing her best, so I hope she can improve further, meaning that against Ana Ivanovic (another nemesis!) she stands a good chance of winning if she keeps focussed. I do believe this could be one of the best chances Sveta will ever get of winning another Grand Slam title - if I'm not getting ahead of myself in saying this already - the heavyweights (Justine, Serena, Jelena Jankovic) are all in the top half of the draw, while here we are with Sveta quietly working her way through round by round, an improving game, and the confidence to keep beating players who have beaten her earlier in the season. As she had to pull out of the doubles because of Nadia's injury, Sveta will also be getting enough rest between matches. Come on Sveta you can do it.

I hope Sveta can do it :D
Jun 3rd, 2007, 09:47 PM
Q. You told us yesterday you wanted your revenge; you got your revenge today. Are you happy with this?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yeah. Now I'm looking to another revenge. You know, it's never easy to beat her, and I did few mistakes. And I was up 5-Love, Love-30, and I just thrash too much. And I knew she was dangerous and I was not playing well, but then I concentrated and make my serve well in 5-3.
Q. You're already thinking about quarterfinals or you think past quarterfinals?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Of course, quarterfinals. You never do another thing when you play, especially the French Open. And I have very tough next two opponents, Medina or Ivanovic. Medina is playing well. Ivanovic, I lost to her in Berlin 7-6 in the third, so that's what I was saying. I will try to get another revenge there, also.
Q. Except for closing out the match, was it your best match, you think, of the tournament so far?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I think yesterday I also played very well. I didn't so many comments, I didn't, I think I played very well the match yesterday. Another girl, she's pretty good.
And today in first set I didn't play so well. And then in second set, I was 5-Love up, Love-30 game, I was playing excellent game. But then I didn't play so well. Too many unforced errors. But then I closed it up.
But it was good match, but I don't think it was very good tennis yet, so I'm looking forward to show a better one. But, you know, it was good enough to win.
Q. Overall how do you feel, I mean, at this point in the tournament?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I'm feeling great, you know. It's great. I've been through four rounds, four matches without losing a set, playing confident, good tennis, and not spending so much energy. I have day off tomorrow, and then just looking pretty fresh, playing my next match.
Q. Roger Federer says he thinks you're the favorite for the --
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: No. Roger said that he likes to watch me play. He didn't say I'm a favorite, okay? I know that.
Q. What do you think of his compliment anyway?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, the Russian press told me so, and I thought like, "No, it was a joke."
So today I wanted to check it myself. And I went to Internet last night and I read this. And it's if I would have to choose a compliment of anybody of, like, best thing to hear about myself, definitely it's the best I ever heard.
And it's, like, the best you can hear. Like Roger, is legend. He's almost -- it's my dream. It's never going to come true, but Roger played unbelievable tennis. I mean, it's unbelievable to hear this, to hear him say about my tennis.
So it's a little bit compliment for me. He's my, like, hero, you know. So it's, like, the best. There's no more words the say about that.
Q. So you have to win now so not to disappoint him?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, it's too much pressure to take on myself, but really thinking that he likes my game, I would like to prove it more, you know, so, yeah, that's it.
Q. Last year you played the final. Does it give you something, a plus, something like a plus?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: The plus I'm getting this year by passing round by round, showing that I really can do well in French Open and just playing well, you know. I'm just confident and playing. Yeah, I just -- it's great to be here. That's the only thing. I love doing -- I love playing tennis, and it's great to pass round by round here at French Open.
Q. Do you think that certain regions produce certain styles of players? You have an interesting perspective because you grew up in Russia and you trained mostly had in Spain. But do you believe that that's the case, you can look at certain countries and say --
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yeah, I do believe where a player train, like this is gross, but it's also important thing, it's mentality, which I think I have Russian mentality. The Spanish people are my friends and my coaches, they not agree 100 percent with that. I still have lots of things which I love from Spain, which I took to myself. But, still, in my heart, whatever it is, it's Russian, you know, and it's mixed. So I think it helps me a lot.
Q. Do you think your strokes are more Spanish and your mentality is more Russian?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Yeah, this is it. I think so, you know. There could be so many other opinions, but also like Maria, you can see, like, she plays more, like, flat tennis. You know, but it's different, of course. Her body is different than mine. And Amelie plays French tennis. Well, I don't know. But, you can see definitely.
Q. What is that mentality? What is that Russian mentality? How would you describe that?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, like, first of all, you go hard, very hard to yourself, and you would not give up, or, you know, you would not be afraid of difficult times. And then sometimes we're a little too crazy. Let's say it this way.
Q. Russian women are often thought of as technicians, you know, with staying at the baseline, hitting two-handed backhands.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: But this is tennis, you see. This is not mentality.
Q. Do you think that comes out of a certain mentality?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: No, this is tennis, you're talking about, the game. And what's about what you think in your head is just different. I don't think comparing like me and Elena Dementieva, we have different games, but we have similar, maybe, mentality where we would fight, fight, fight and fight. That's what I see, the mentality.
Q. Russian, you do say Russian men players have different mentality than the women?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, about fighting, I don't know.
Q. There are three in the draw for the first time.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Oh, yeah?
Q. Yes.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: So it's Youzhny --
Q. Andreev, and Davydenko.
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, you see, like Andreev, it's Spanish tennis, completely Spanish. I don't think there is much of Russian. But mentality, I think he has so much of Russian personality, especially.
Davydenko, he's completely Russian, in game, in mentality, everything. I don't want to discuss guys. You know them better than I do. I'm just like -- we're not commentator on TV or something like that.
I think guys -- not so many guys now in Russian tennis. But I think they're doing so much better now than they've been last year and stuff.
Jun 3rd, 2007, 10:23 PM
Seeing the transcribed interview above, let's hope some of the magic that Roger regularly produces is going to rub off on Sveta!!
So Mary, you put yourself through watching that Melbourne match again, Sveta v Peer?! You'll have noticed that there were a lot of people cheering for Shahar, but inbetween you might have heard a lone voice calling out 'Kuzy!' Well, that would have been me.
(Of course, Sveta wasn't on form then, as it was soon after she'd had that bronchitis. Peer is a good player, you're right, but if she played like that all the time she'd be in the Top 10 by now. Peer didn't let Sveta play her game and find her full rhythm on that fateful Melbourne Sunday; nor did Sveta play confidently - she had numerous opportunities to put winners away but she pushed her shots at only half-pace and aimed well in from the lines, so on numerous occasions Peer was able to turn it around and hit winners herself. Oh it was painful to watch...)
Jun 3rd, 2007, 11:08 PM

own magic as well!

watch that match again. Very cool--did you have a good
time in Melbourne?
Jun 4th, 2007, 12:30 PM
It works out good that Sveta plays Peer and Ivanovic. They both beat Sveta when she had excuses. Now Sveta can play them on a level playing field.
Jun 4th, 2007, 07:17 PM
I hope she'll fin it. Ana had a very tough match against Anabel, so Sveta is perhaps a little bit fitter.
I'll cross my fingers. Come on!

I think Ana will make it to the final :rolleyes:
Jun 5th, 2007, 06:19 PM
Well, it wasn't to be. Compliments to Ana, though, she must have played great, and may well at least beat Maria to make the final now.
I was at work, and sneaked a look at the score from time to time. When I first looked Sveta had lost the first set 6-0 and I feared the worst, i.e. possible injury, noting that she had been observed with taping on her stomach on Sunday. But then the second set went the other way and I started feeling very emotional for Sveta knowing she might pull it around. So the third set was disappointing. :sad: :sad:

Jun 6th, 2007, 01:45 PM
Sveta has only reached a slam semi 2 times. So her record in slam quarters is not good.
Jun 10th, 2007, 07:11 PM
Just one or two loose ends from Roland Garros:-
Sveta has obviously lost some points, and may be lower in the rankings when they come out tomorrow. I wonder if both Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic will have leap-frogged her? Maybe at Eastbourne she'll actually be seeded lower than the 3 that she was at RG.
The score in her Q/F against Ana was interesting, as the Wimbledon final of 2001 (Venus beat Justine) was very similar, something like 61 36 60, and again that match lasted under 90 minutes despite being 3 sets.

Well in Wimbledon she can grab points with a good showing according her ranking.I remember last year she lost too early ;)

Yes in the 3rd round vs Na Li.. a frustrating defeat again!
I hope she willn't be injured any more.

Tips for optimizing Bamboo on a DVCS team, pt. 1
- By Piotr Stefaniak

- On September 19, 2013
Part of our series on team collaboration with Git. Read more »
In this post I'd like to highlight various features in Bamboo that were developed separately during the past year or so. If you combine these little pieces together you can make your Bamboo to be a powerful friend in DVCS-oriented software development. This time I'll focus mostly on doing CI on dev branches and merging. Next time I'll cover areas like test failures, quarantining, and a bit about JIRA. One of the main purposes of Bamboo is to build your code, run the tests against it and notify

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H), Chesapeake Lodging Trust (NYSE: CHSP) and Real Hospitality Group today announce the opening of Hyatt Place New York/Midtown-South, marking the first Hyatt Place property to debut in New York City.

"New York is a significant and exciting market that represents so many opportunities for us as we look for meaningful growth across our portfolio of brands," said Rakesh Sarna, group president – Americas, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. "The opening of the city's first Hyatt Place is a significant step forward in our goal to become the most preferred brand for our guests, and we can't wait to show New Yorkers and its many visitors from around the world what Hyatt Place is all about."
Earlier this month, a Hyatt Place hotel opened in downtown Austin, Texas, and other downtown locations are expected to open this year in Chicago's River North neighborhood; Minneapolis, Minn.; Charlotte, N.C.; Omaha, Neb.; Nashville, Tenn; Panama City, Panama; and Santiago, Chile. In 2014, the company anticipates additional urban, downtown openings for the brand in New York City's Times Square and Flushing; Washington D.C.'s NoMa neighborhood, and Lincoln, Neb.; among others.
"Hyatt Place guests may be accustomed to seeing our brand in suburban and airport locations, but we feel there is also demand in downtown locations for the accessibility, convenience and overall experience the brand provides. Hyatt Place delivers a seamless experience to meet the needs of our guests' multi-tasking 24/7 lifestyles, so what better place to showcase that experience than The City that Never Sleeps," said Chris Walker, vice president of brands, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House. "We look forward to introducing a new group of customers to the Hyatt Place brand."

That said in the past few weeks I have felt that I am starting to slowly find my bearings. Last weekend the day was overcast and a little cool. Cool in the sense of I could give up a beach day. I spent the day in the kitchen. Something I truly love to do. I love kitchen days. Cooking and baking away. I must confess it was rather nice. We had dinner prepared for the week. The main courses at least.
If I wanted to be truly decadent and not wear a bikini to the beach again this summer I would have baked every recipe from trEATs Delicious food gifts to make at home. Most times when I bake I will give away most of what I make to friends. I love baking and tasting. That is all I really need.
I could sit down and read trEATs Delicious food gifts to make at home every day with a cup of tea. It is the sort of book that takes me bake to England. Imagine yourself in a lush rose garden with your favourite cup of tea. The inside cover for the book and the chapters are all set with a a lovely cream and blue wallpaper print. I'm in love with the print alone before I even start reading the recipe. Yes I must confess I love reading recipes. Almost every recipe has an accompanying photo. Lovely photos that are rustic and charming. The recipes are all quite easy to follow and varied. I would probably make almost all the recipes.
So, what do we have inside this delightful book, cakes, bakes, biscuits and cookies, savoury (the author is British so there is the u -which as a Canadian I quite appreciate) and sweet trEATs. All measurements and temperatures are both Metric and Imperial. To solve that problem I have my measuring utensils in both. Given I always return home with many cookbooks it just made it easier.
As soon as I open the first chapter the first two recipes are beckoning to me, Cherry and Cinnamon bundt cakes and brownies with salted caramel. The third recipe is an almond and earl grey teacup cakes. Yes a little cake baked inside a teacup. A proper British teacup, not a mug. What a sweet gift would that be, to peruse garage sales for matching tea cups and saucers and bake your gift inside.
I wish the Bake section was longer; there are only four recipes. That said I am a huge fan of mince meat pie another recipe I cannot wait to try. The savoury section has what looks like a delicious fig and goat cheese loaf. Everything really sounds just scrumptious.
This is a book that I can see myself gifting both the book and the recipes. Thank you to Rizzoli Publishing for such a charming book.
