Most of the time I'm not a real big fan of dubstep. However, I love blasting it while boarding. This thread has been sick for finding new stuff to put on my snowboarding playlist. Thanks for the recommendations. Keep 'em coming.

Malachite, Red
Malachite, Red Gemstone Properties
Design Possibilities
This gorgeous creamy gemstone with its pale red banding is like a woman who's been married for so long people have forgotten her actual family name. Known to most people as red malachite, this gemstone is actually a banded jasper. Like all jasper, it's part of the chalcedony "family." The "marriage" of jasper's lovely colors with malachite's fine banding makes red malachite unusually beautiful. If what color forecasters are saying is true-and they know-bolder colors will be the accent rage with fall and winter earth tones. Shades of red will be especially popular. As you look ahead, you'll want to stock up on red malachite beads-a scrumptious staple for your upcoming jewelry creations.
Metaphysical/Healing Properties
Red is the color of energy and courage. When it's "wedded" to jasper (a gemstone that celebrates life), the spiritual values of color and stone complement each other. Perhaps that's why red malachite always makes me think of Christmas. During the coldest, drabbest time of the year, the Christmas holidays arrive to cheer us. Red malachite is like that. It brightens our lives, reminding us to celebrate being alive, regardless of the situation or season. And it gives us the stamina to actually do it.
Mineral Information | Silicate, chalcedony, quartz group |
Chemical Composition | SiO2 |
Color | Cream with pale red banding |

So you've decided to travel to Washington, D.C. for the historic inauguration of Barack Obama. Good on you--it should be an awesome experience! If you're still looking for a place to stay I can't help you much with that, but as a former D.C. resident I can provide some great travel tips about other aspects of your stay. Keep reading for the 411.
Getting around
As you've probably heard, Inaugural visitors who aren't traveling by motorcade are being advised to take Metro, Washington's state-of-the-art public transportation system. Since Metro officials expect delays, they're advising tourists to buy their metro tickets in advance. The official Washington Metro Transit Authority Website provides information on how to do this, as well maps, and general information about choosing among the farecard options. if you plan on staying at a fair distance outside of D.C. and parking at an outlying metro station, you will want to buy a SmartTrip card, as those are required for parking at most metro lots. (You can even get a commorative Inauguration version of this card here--but it will cost you an extra $10. You could probably get a good bootleg T-Shirt on the street for less than that.)
Metro can be confusing, so if you aren't familiar with the system I strongly recommend reading up on it in advance instead of using the usual tourist method of learning about Metro (i.e. tying up the farecard line while commuters behind you frantically try to teach you how to buy your card.) I also recommend checking out Metro's Inauguration travel F.A.Q., where you can learn how to sign up for email travel alerts about the Inauguration. One important thing to note, especially at rush hour: on the escalators you are expected to stand on the right and walk on the left. If you want to stand still for your ride up or down, move to the right or prepare to be mowed over, or at least shouted at by impatient D.C. commuters.
Finding Your Way Around
Also confusing--D.C.'s bizarre mapping system. It's pretty simple once you know the secret, which I'm going to tell you: DC is divided into four quadrants with the U.S. Capitol as the epicenter--Northeast or NE, Southeast or SE, Northwest or NW, and Northeast or NE. These two little letters at the end of an address (e.g., 101 Third Street SE) are crucial to reaching the proper destination, as there very will might be a 101 Third Street in the other three quadrants, all of them many blocks apart. Until you get the hang of it, it's best to carry a DC street map with you at all times.
Inauguration Events
This About.com blog provides a pretty good clearinghouse for learning about Inauguration-related events. The Senate's Inauguration site, in addition to providing history and context, has great helpful information (including such information as accessibility) There is an official Inauguration site that enables you to sign up for email alerts for crucial as-yet-to-be-announced details. There will be events throughout the weekend, as well as tie-in exhibits and events. The Smithsonian museum will feature a variety of Inauguration-themed exhibits. A free Inaugural event kickoff event will be held at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, January 18. (I attended a similar event held during the Clinton Inaugural facilities. My advice is to arrive early, carry water and snacks, dress warmly and bring something waterproof that will allow you to sit comfortably on the ground for hours. In fact, that advice pretty much goes for all outdoor Inauguration events.) This event will also be broadcast on HBO.
On Monday the Obamas and Bidens plan to do service projects in honor of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose birthday is officially celebrated on this day. I'm guessing your odds of schlepping concrete at a Habitat for Humanity site with the future President or Veep are slim to none, so you'll probably elect to check out some of Washington's Smithsonian museums. My family's current favorite is the National Museum of the American Indian, and as luck would have it they're hosting a special three-day multicultural Inaugural tie-in event on that very weekend. It's also the only Smithsonian where the expensive food is actually worth the price. (More on where to eat later.) Other kid-friendly Smithsonian sites include The Museum of Natural History (home of the Hope Diamond), the Air and Space Museum (where kids can pilot a "spacecraft"), the newly-remodeled Museum of American History (Home of the Star-Spangled Banner and the First Ladies' Gowns) and the National Zoo (giant pandas!). A little book of fun facts and scavenger-hunt games called We're There: Washington DC (available on Amazon) enhanced my kid's first D.C. trip (and kept them from being bored as we traveled from place to place.) There are other kid's guides to DC, including Frommers (this website gives a free preview of their guide and helpfullly points out that DC is the site of the International Spy Museum.) If you are looking for a more adult Smithsonian experience, check out the National Portrait Gallery (which will showcase the famous Shepard Fairey Obama portrait as part of the Inauguaral festivities). The building co-houses the Renwick gallery, where you can see some truly wacky folk art, such as this charming carving of Adam and Eve (note: NOT work-friendly.)
On Monday Night a free inauguration-eve youth concert will be held at the 20,000-seat Verizon Center. Tickets are required, but so far details about getting the tickets have yet to be announced. (My guess is that signing up for those email alerts will prove crucial in securing these tickets.) Those who don't score tickets can watch the show on ABC or the Disney Channel.
The actual swearing in requires tickets, but for the first time in history groundlings will be allowed to gather on the National Mall and watch from jumbo-tron screens. Festivities commence at 10 a.m. (Remember--dress warmly, bring water and snacks and something waterproof in case you want to sit on the ground.)
The Inaugural parade starts at 2:30 p.m. There are limited tickets available, but they've long since sold out. The good news: the parade is free and open to the public. Unfortunately for those willing to pitch a tent now to get a good spot, that won't be possible, as visitors won't be allowed to line up on the parade route until 7 a.m. on Inauguration Day.
This year, for the first time ever, the main ball will be a Neighborhood Ball, which will offer free or low-cost admission and include many regular-people-type D.C. residents (I feel a Spike Lee feature film coming on...) This event will be broadcast on ABC and the Disney Channel (is this the final step in the Disneyfication of America? Oh, heck--I don't even care anymore.) This will be one of ten official balls (most of which are invitation-only affairs) which the Presidential and Vice Presidential couples are guaranteed to attend. Oh yeah--the President, Vice President and their wives spend the night schlepping all over D.C., doing a token twirl on the dancefloor at each ball, posing for a few photos and then moving on to the next event. Good times, huh? If you really want to boogie down in D.C. and you can't manage to score tickets to one of the official balls, you still have options, my friend, including an eco-friendly "Green Ball," a shindig sponsored by the National Coalition of Technology and hosted by my former employer, The Folger Shakespeare Library, and my personal fave, The Baltimore-Washington Black McDonald's Operator's Association Ball ( it's described as "an intimate gathering.") The complete list (with links, no less), perhaps best described as a snapshot of America's diversity, is available here, and I for one found it worth the five minutes or so it took to read it.
Besides the People's Inaugural LGBT Gala, there are sure to be lots of LGBT-friendly events. Lambda Rising bookstore (in the LGBT-centric Dupont Circle neighborhood) should be a good first stop, as they are promising to provide free copies of the city's LGBT weeklies and free advice to out-of-town travelers.
Eating in DC
Washington, D.C. is a Foodie's dream, with everything from great local fast food (like Burrito Brothers) to the ultra-expensive eateries (like Citronelle Restaurant) and plenty of stuff in-between, including burger joints (like Capitol Hill's infamous Tune Inn) and affordable ethnic restaurants ( like Salvadoran restaurant El Tamarindo). Here is a quick overview, keyed to the needs of Inaugural Travelers.
For affordable eats near tourist sites, there are three main destinations--Union Station (includes a Food Court and affordable chain restaurants like Au Bon Pan), The Old Post Office (also has a food court) and Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast on Capitol Hill. Union Station is found at the Union Station metro stop, next to the Postal Museum and within walking distance to the U.S. Capitol and the National Gallery of Art. Capitol Hill eateries located near the Independence Avenue side of the Capitol Mall (where you also find the Smithsonian Castle, the Museum of the American Indian and the Air and Space Museum. To find it, get off at the Capitol South Metro stop (ask for directions or look at a map) or follow Independence Avenue heading towards the U.S. Capitol and past the Arboretum and the Madison building of the Library of Congress. Just past the Madison building you will run into Pennsylvania Avenue SE, where Capitol Hill employees go for a quick bite. The Old Post Office Pavillion is at the corner of Pennsylvania and Twelfth Streets NW, near the Federal Triangle and Metro Center metro stops, and is close to the Museum of Natural History and the monuments. Tourist bonus: The view from the bell tower is the second-best in Washington (second only to the Washington Monument.) For dinner you might like to check out one of the many very inexpensive ethnic restaurants in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood (this website will give you a good overview.)
Adams Morgan has the most interesting eats, great shops, and some seriously happening clubs, but my favorite overall nightlife spot in DC (okay, in the world) is Georgetown (not terribly close to metro lines, but worth the parking hell.) Georgetown has a vibe that's hard to pin down--it's kinda funky and also kinda preppie, but it somehow always feels like home to me. Old Town Alexandria has a similar feel, but it's over the river in Virginia (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Hangin' Out Around DC
If you're planning on exploring the region, you might want to check out some other nearby tourist destinations: In Maryland, there's plenty to see and do in Baltimore, Annapolis and historic Ellicott City (Just follow my Maryland link for more information). If you're looking for a hands-on history lesson, explore Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia (about 3 1/2 hours outside of DC).

B. Smith's at Union Station features a combination of Cajun, Creole and Southern cuisine. Located in Washington, DC's Historic Union Station, B. Smith's grand Beaux Arts style dining room with its 30-foot ceilings, period chandeliers and turn of the century elegance, is a national landmark and has been called one of the most beautiful dining rooms in America. Specialties of the house include Swamp Thing - a mixed seafood dish over southern style greens in a mustard based seafood sauce; Grilled Lamb Chops with mint-flavored au jus; Fried Green Tomatoes and Spicy Cajun Jambalaya. In it's own separate space, the bar at B. Smith's serves as a gathering place for Washington's political movers and shakers, celebrities and people who just want to have a good time.

Senator Kyl, why would you delay a bill that would help millions of Americans survive a very hard time in their lives. You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm sure many republicans are ashamed that they voted for you now. You have just cost many Americans… republicans, democrats, and independents, their homes, cars, trucks, and basic necessities to survive this economic downturn. Shame on you and your political games.
You and the rest of the Republicans are so transparent! President Obama, as well as us Americans, know what you are doing. Stalling and not voting on what the people want and need in this country. Do the job you were elected to do, and start voting! Your tactics in stalling is only going to back fire on you all. Show our President some respect. How you treat him, is a reflection on how you treat us Americans. We may have been fooled in the past, but not anymore! We The People have spoken by electing President Obama into office. We need change and we need it now! And quit blaming President Obama for the disaster in the Gulf. Enough is enough!
You are a disgrace to your country and should be embarrassed to have the UNITED STATES in front of your title.4th of July is upon us-it reminds us of history and how the people can come together to make a difference.I hope you and your family meet the same outcome as the 15,000,000+ unemployed.You turned your back on the Citizens by playing games and stupid antics.Assistance needs to be offered to ease the minds of the families and allow continued dignity no matter the cost. You spend OUR money like water and the American people MUST and SHOULD be priority one!
"As good government is an empire of laws, how shall your laws be made? In a large society,inhabiting an extensive country,it is impossible that the whole should assemble to make laws. The first necessary step, then,is to depute power from the many to a few of the most wise and good."
John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
Obviously we dont have the few wise and good in the senate-but we have the power to change that.
John Kyl, I thought I knew you. You are a politician, through and through. You are true to no one, not even yourself. Better start packing my friend. I support those who stand by what is right. You sir are pro banking and pro corporation. Hard to believe, but both of these in their current incarnations are soon to be dinosaurs. I guess what they say about the captain going down with the ship is just a way of this world… Those who sell out their citizens better start looking out for their seats. The will of the people will be heard.
Utterly despicable behavior.You obviously can not fathom or relate to anyone
making less than a six figure income.Families are living check to check on
Unemployment Benefits through no fault of their own.Political ambition,greed
and corruption is all that seems to drive you and Senator Bunning.
This guy should not be in office, many people are worse off than I, but still I was told I can't extend my benefits until it ended right when this started, I only got 2 months of benefits or less… I've been working my whole life as mush as possible and now when I need some help this happens. I was told by unemployment office to call when it ended, and it ended on May 29TH when the unemployment office was closed during the weekend following the holiday and was almost impossible to set up a new claim or for extensions. Now I have almost nothing to go off of and pay bills or even to get food when I just started this program. I look for jobs everyday that's all I'm devoted to, but their argument is unemployment benefits makes you lazy and not want a job?? My question is how can you provide for your family, pay bills, and survive with the low payment from unemployment and not look for a job? Jon Kyl doesn't care about Americans, we need vote him out and watch him eat his own words.
Gotta love all the due dilligence on a lousy 2 Billion when they can pass 700 Billion for Banks in 72 hours, or 300 Billion to fix they roads in Iraq they bombed in the first place. The Senate has been sitting on their butts on this bill since 9-22, that is an out rage.
Mr. Kyl:
What is wrong with you?
More importantly, what are you going to tell your Maker when you meet Him?
Senator Jon Kyl, you are at 39% on this site. Thats a failure in my book….
Senator Kyl how can you sleep at night. You are taking food out of peoples mouths and for what because your party is more important than the american people. Quit screwing us and for once do your damn job.
HOpe you are joking about Kyl being one of the best senators.
He is a disgrace
Must make you feel powerful holding the fate of so many Americans in your hands… Many many people are very angry with you. I'm hoping that knocks your power level down! If not, It should!
u must be nuts this senator is holding up a bill that would give millions extended unemployment benefits yo senator wake up the unemployed blue collar people who build this country need money or we will lose everything. have u seen the numbers on unemployment? its almost double digits get offf your ass and stop holding up the unemployment extension bill. wake up and smell the coffee
Kyl, You can't come up with anything that might help solve the economic mess that you and your republican buddies have put us in. You just say what is being attempted wont work without any suggestions regarding something that might work. How about getting off your ass and doing something except whining.
Signed One of your constituents.
Thanks for your stalling of the UI extension bill. I havent eaten in two days so what does another 2 weeks matter anyway. You want to know how much the bill will cost before being voted on when everyone knows that UI benefits barely cover the cost of 3 hots and a cot. Let me guess, you're going to propose and amendment that the unemployed only be given 1 hot and 3 share a cot.
You are a real peach. MMMMmm a peach sounds good right now but I need to get it out of mind since I ran out of groceries 2 days ago.
Gotta love a rich man that cares only about people with money. He has definitely showed his true colors when he decide that the money shouldnt come from the rich and go to the poor. Hasnt he ever heard of Robin Hood? I guess that Kyl (I personally cannot put senator in front of his name because I feel he needs to earn the title) doesnt care that there are people with children out there that are going to have to choose between food or electricity this month and then between rent/mortgage and food next month, if they even have enough money to be able to choose.
I hope that Kyl can hear the stomachs rumbling of all children and adults stomachs all the way in washington. And I hope that you can feel the chill they will have when they cannot turn on their heat when the temperature drops below freezing. I hope that you sleep well at night while 1.4 million people stay awake scared of the unstability you are causing in their lives.
This is very well said, Beanerwe. I too am juggling my bills. I tried getting help on my mortgage, but the legislation isn't helping the unemployed who need it most. I, like many Americans, worked my butt off putting myself through school – cleaning toilets and chasing after other people's kids – a small investment I thought at the time in exchange for a secure future. I continued working my butt off for Corporate America saving a good retirement which has been consumed by the IRS. 2008 was a year where I earned more $$ for not working, because of the IRA distribution and severance, than I've ever earned in my life and I have nothing to show for it, and am visiting food pantries to keep from starving.
Is this the American dream? Is this what we want to teach our children? Study hard, work hard until Capitalism consumes it all back and reduces you to a beggar?
THANK GOD BARACK OBAMA is our President working so hard to undoe the dudu that the Bushy ears has put us in.
It is people like you that have brought this country Down from its glory.
Dear Senator Kyle,
S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are "unemployed through no fault of their own," and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I'll say it again— S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

TOO BAD we have to wait to get rid of you till 2012.
SHAME ON YOU for not supporting our President and help give him a chance to get us out of the ditch you and the Bush Chronies have dog for us
senator kyl please vote no on more gun control laws like hr45,and sb2099. also please fight aginst socialism in any form such as our medical insurance we need reform not socialism with gov. control like hr3200 would have.please do right by the people.thank you.
Please support a single-payer health car plan. S 703 would eliminate health for profit and save this country billions and insure all citizens. Get Big business out. 2100 insurance companies and big Pharma treat us like commodities. We need a wellness based system for our health.
How could you delay the bill for extended benefits? The people here in Georgia are hurting enough. The unemployment rate is awful. Our homes have been flooded and now you want to hold up a bill that would ease a little of the burden. You didn't give a rats *&% about how must it was going to cost to bail out the banks and mortgage companies that got us into this mess in the first place. Did you even read that entire bill (I am guess NO if you had of they would not have gotten the big company bonuses and they themselves would have done something to help the millions of people they screwed in the first place.

Same thing happened to a coworker of mine, only his GF was right there; she had just taken him to work and they had argued in the car.An NYPD cop fatally shot himself last night while on-duty and interviewing the victim of a Queens car break-in, sources told The Post.
The officer, whose name was withheld pending family notification, got into a heated argument on his cellphone with his girlfriend and fired one bullet into his face after the conversation ended at around 11 p.m., the sources said.

I've started experimenting with 1 gallon batches to learn about variances in ingredients. I'm wondering, can I add too much yeast? Not enough? Or is it simply that yeast present eats fermentables present until there are no more fermentable present? Also, if I got an 11g package of yeast and used 3, can the rest be refrigerated or frozen?
Illegitimi non carborundum! They call me Jack
Here's a calculator to help you figure it out: http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html The short answer is you could underpitch (though you'd have to try pretty hard on a 1-gal batch), and it's really hard to overpitch. EDIT: and yes, you can just put the leftover dry yeast pkg in a ziploc bag and store it in the fridge.
thanks so much!
It is hard to overpitch yeast but possible. Over pitching could cause the beer to have a yeasty taste (doh), result in inefficient fermentations, thin beer, beer with "yeast bite", explosions and occasionally hair to grow on your palms. Best to stick to recommended pitching rates.

The Garden of Our Neglect: How Humans Shape the Evolution of Other Species
By ROB DUNN - SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
Added: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 04:09:36 UTC
For the vast majority of the history of our kind we were in some ways no more sophisticated than crows, which use sticks to poke around in promising holes. Eventually, of course, we discovered fire and invented stone tools, which then led to guns, pesticides and antibiotics. Using these tools, we encouraged the survival of favorable species such as wheat and yeast needed for beer and cows for meat and milk—a garden of delights.
But we also encouraged a garden of neglect—a surprising number of resilient pests that have been able to survive in spite of our weapons. These species are now coming back to haunt us as toxins, pathogens or worse. Here are ten ways we have helped this garden of neglect prosper.
1) SHARP ROCKS, SOFT FLESH. In the beginning someone held aloft a sharpened rock. "Progress!," he screamed out, or maybe, "Ouch!," depending on which end he grabbed. With that first stone weapon and its many pointy descendants, life changed. Our initial impact would have been small. However, by 10,000 years ago we had extinguished many of the largest species on Earth—mastodons, mammoths, American cheetahs, giant kangaroos and many more. In our wake, we left behind smaller species more able to reproduce rapidly or escape detection in the first place.
As humans came to rely on tools to survive, those with hands better able to make and wield those tools were more likely to pass their genes to the next generation. Mary Marzke at Arizona Sate University in Tempe argues that hand bones of humans are quite different from those of other primates because of our use of tools. Our hands are better able to manage the subtle grips necessary for making and using tools to maim or kill other species. In response to our first tools the animals around us changed. So did we.
2) BIG FISH, LITTLE FISH. Not only have we altered the course of big game evolution on land but we've also effectively reduced the size of fishes in the sea. Fishermen prefer to catch big fishes, and fishing regulations tend to prohibit the harvest of the smallest individuals of a species. In response, fishes have evolved the ability to reproduce at a smaller size and/or younger age. If they can breed before they get big enough to be harvested their genes stand a much higher chance of being passed on. American plaice, Atlantic cod, Atlantic herring, Atlantic salmon, brook trout, and chinook salmon all have appeared to grow more slowly and/or to reproduce at smaller sizes where and when they are heavily fished (Jorgenson et al., 2007; Palcovacs, 2011) Once, a large cod could eat a small boy. Now, a small boy could almost eat an entire cod.

Hood niggas with bad intentions, the perfect combination
from Kendrick Lamar – The Art of Peer Pressure Lyrics on Genius
The homies think that ghetto niggas and higher class women are a match made in heaven (bougie comes from the French word "bourgeoisie", which refers to the upper class). This supports the cliche that opposites attract. Bougie women are normally well off and stuck up. Often females go after the bad boy, in this context the hood niggas caters to the bad boy image.

4.5 Kicks it indeed! Kevin1075 | 13/07/2012 | See all Kevin1075's reviews (754) Shockingly entertaining and not for the prudish at times take on the superhero film that thanks to smart and adult source material ends up being a great flick all round.Mixing action, humour, and good performances from it's whole cast (especially Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl) this hits every spot that a fan of the genre could hope for and also sets up nicely a logical jumping off point for a sequel.Visuals are also pretty good for a low budget film and director Matthew Vaughan again shows that he has more than a talent for engaging film-making. Great stuff!
4.5 Perfect Antiplod | 29/10/2011 | See all Antiplod's reviews (9) This is such a wonderful film - never letting up or falling flat. Just watch it.

4.5 Kapow GodOfGaming | 09/07/2011 | See all GodOfGaming's reviews (52) A truly awesome film. Its unlike any films i have seen and is very creative with a well written original story. At first glance (without noticing the age rating) i thought it was going to be a kiddy movie but how wrong was i. Kiss ass has action all the way through with many bloody scenes. A must watch because it is original and unique and you will have a great time watching it.
4.5 Brilliant! Rosdub | 23/04/2011 | See all Rosdub's reviews (1) Just watched this on Sky.....wasnt pushed about watching it at first.....thought it was going to be a stupid superhero movie....how wrong I was....it was one of the best movies watched this year.....great writing, acting, keeps you glued for the whole 2 hours.

Dvdboss69 | 09/01/2011 | See all Dvdboss69's reviews (2) This is a supercool movie, based on the ultraviolent comic made by Mark Millar & John Romita Jr.However, why is it that the UK version has only DTS Master Audio 5.1, when both the American AND the Norwegian version has DTS Master Audio 7.1?? WHY??? That did NOT kick ass!!! Otherwise it's superb on Blu-ray and a must-have...if you're content with (only) 5.1!

Which hard-working American tennis player(s) spent Wednesday in the lake??? Answer after the cut…
robin: gladiator warrior?
In two month's time, Robin Soderling has gone from a nobody to a Grand Slam finalist to a… gladiator?! The 24-year-old Swede donned a full gladiator get-up in Hamburg just a few days after winning his first clay-court crown in Bastad last week. His reasoning? The Sod is a big fan of Gladiator, the movie.
Well, we here at TSF are big fans of The Notebook, but you don't see us paddling through bevies of swans while curiously ogling at our past lovers with a furrowed brow, now do you?!
But give props to the big Swede, who was in full costume for photographers and fans, and even took out his racquet (and sword!) for the photo op. Is being on tour that boring?! We sure hope not. But maybe a love interest between Robsies and Jelena Jankovic might spring up here in the near future. We're pretty sure Janky would love this stuff.
More shots after the cut. [Read more…]
it must be… uso series time
The US Open Series has launched its commercials for the 2009 season, and we're not so sure we love the babies produced by this year's campaign. The theme, "It Must Be Love", is a catchy one and certainly has potential, but most of the players seem to come off flat and, well, boring in their takes. What do you think?
The commercials were shot in a single studio, with each player feeding off a prop or anecdote of some sort. For Andy Roddick, it was tricky shots. Serena Williams? Barbies. The thesis statement was obviously there, but for some reason, it just doesn't transfer well on the small screen.
Here's a peek at Venus' commercial, one of the ones TSF actually gave a giggle and a second watch to. Click here to see all the commercials…
tsf: this stuff's fresh
Shh! I'm online: In less than one month, the US Open qualifying tournament will be underway, meaning that the official "US Open fortnight" will be underway. There won't be any queuing at this major championships, but fans will flock to Flushing, Queens, to get a glimpse of tennis elite at the end of New York's hot summer. Can't you feel the excitement already?
For noise-weary fans and players alike, there's a new place to get their internet on in New York City during the open: the library. The New York Public Library introduced a wi-fi reading room this week (above), a space the LA Times calls the "grandest wi-fi spot in the country." We're definitely staking out to see Rajeev Ram Tweeting on his Dell!
Where's the chapstick?: Laura Robson has been busy Tweeting over the last three weeks after a somewhat disappointing performance at Wimbledon, where she made a good showing against Daniela Hantuchova in the first round before falling in women's doubles and girl's singles, eventually succumbing to injury. Laura has been a social butterfly in July, going out and staying in alike. Her current internet fave? This little ditty.
Maybe it was just her chapstick: The whole cocaine controversy with Richard Gasquet has just gotten more and more bizarre. Supposedly this news article – which we can't read, (it's in French!) – reveals new details of Richard's frenching at a Miami club with "Pamela", Gasquet's latest beard. And Paul Newman of London's The Independent is fuming over the whole thing. Maybe he just drank too much Red Bull, no?
Mama Natty: French player Nathalie Dechy made more positive headlines today, retiring from tennis while announcing her pregnancy. The 30-year-old was a tour veteran and 2005 Australian Open semifinalist. We'll miss you, Natty! (PS: See you in 18 months when you come back!)
A sad site of affairs: While the US Open is creeping up as the final major of the year, the tournament's web site remains to be major-ly disappointing. Poor design, frustrating to navigate and just plain blah. The Aussie, French and Wimbledon all have impeccable sites, but seems like the folks in White Plains are content to keep things so 2001.

seles gets glammy
Monica Seles got all glammed up for the cover of TENNIS Magazine's August issue, which is on newsstands. TENNIS.com took readers inside the shoot today on its site, and we have several images for your perusing.
While TSF isn't too big of a fan of the cover shot chosen of Seles (She's looking very Michelle-Larcher-de-Brito SIMsy, right? Which in other words would be plainly: photoshopped.), the glamorous Seles was no doubt looking gorgeous and graceful. She recently was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, an honor that didn't get quite the press coverage it deserved.
The cover was shot by New York photographer Erin Patrice O'Brien, who has done covers for Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report and Bust, among others.
For many modern tennis fans, Seles was the first power player off both wings, and the Yugoslavian-born American ushered in an era of grunting, grit and guile that would spawn tennis champions and divas from Mary Pierce to the Williams sisters and Victoria Azarenka.
Seles is proving that her popularity post-stabbing was well deserved, as she continues to do good work through her charities, public appearances and recent book release. But TSF is really curious: what's up with this whole dating thing? A little confusing, no?

indybits: cards to meet
Rajeev Ram, the surprise winner at last week's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, has received a wild card to Indianapolis this week. Ram will meet fellow American and wild card Devin Britton, the up-and-coming teenager who has been tapped by many as the next great star in the American tennis sky.
Of course, both boys have Tweeted about their prospects this week in the Midwest:

wta headshots: part 1
If you've ever paid a visit to the WTA Tour's web site, you were sure to notice the vast array of headshots used in player profiles. Unlike the theatre world, the business world or even the APT's site – where there's a standard for what a headshot might look like – the WTA seems to have allowed the players to submit any picture they choose. ANY PICTURE! So, TSF introduces the WTA Headshots series. Here we'll present headshots and predict where these pictures might have shown up otherwise, giving bios and pseudo news reports solely based on the images themselves… your guesses are welcome, too!
Dinara Safina | Dinara has been selected Miss Pensacola Valley Mall 2009 by the Beautification Realization Team after a dazzling performance on the mall's catwalk last weekend. Dressed in a '70s-inspired purple blouse with floral pattern criss-crossing her top, Dinara danced to "Unwritten", the Natasha Bedingfield hit for the talent portion. Her subtle purple eye shadow and well-put-together, straightened hair was a hit with Beautification Team member Cindy Sorwell. "I thought Dinara brought a presence to the pageant that no other girl had," Sowell said. "And that smile… THAT SMILE! Simply sensational." Local pageant officials are looking forward to Dinara's appearance in the Greater Peach County's Beauty Bonanza in August.
courting red
The Williams sisters have gone from the great green courts of Wimbledon to the bright red carpets of the Nokia Theatre in L.A. for the ESPY Awards tonight. Both dazzled in drastically different dresses; a full-run on the evening's wears tomorrow on TSF.

The Spencer County Lady Bears soccer teams is winning some games and some respect as they finished their first week of the season with a 2-2 record.
The girls opened at Oldham County and fell behind 1-0 but a goal by freshman Madison Ratchford tied it 1-1 before the Lady Colonels pulled away for the final 4-1 win. After the game, the opposing coach praised the Spencer County girls on their effort, telling them it was one of the best performances by a Spencer County team he'd seen.
Some may not understand this article, but it was inspired by God. When my time was coming to a close in the sheriff's office, all that was on my mind was going home and back into the sawmill business and making money.
In those days, sheriffs could not succeed themselves. I did not like the sheriff's office and would not run for the office if I could. God had a plan for my life other than running my sawmill business. He put a burden on my heart to run for judge executive.
Saturday, August 14 marked the return of the third annual JD Shelburne St. Jude Children's Research Hospital charity softball game at Ray Jewell Park.
My crew which consisted of friends, fans, and band members took on the 97.5 WAMZ Country Hamz softball team on one of the hottest days of the year in Taylorsville.
After a close game through 7 innings, the WAMZ Hamz took home the win 30-22 beating the JD Shelburne Team.
Thirteen members of the Spencer County FCCLA chapter recently attended the 2010 National Leadership Meeting this past July. The conference was held in Chicago, Illinois and was designed with various leadership workshops and competitions to strengthen chapters and members from across the United States.
We, at Spencer County Middle School, are collecting all types of lids and bottle caps for an art project. We greatly appreciate your assistance with gathering clean, dry lids and caps to create artwork made from recycled materials. Lids and bottle caps can be dropped in collection boxes in either the front office or outside the art class room.
The big apartment house that stood on Main Street just east of Jefferson for many years was Mrs. Overstreet's School.
The building was called Thurman Apartments in more recent times, but after it was no longer used for a dwelling place and as deterioration took its toll, it was used by the fire department as a haunted house before its demise.
First-year Spencer County High School boys soccer coach Paul Taylor is new to the job, but he's not new to the boys who will take the field under his charge this week. Taylor's been coaching youth soccer in the county for about a decade and has watched many of his current players come up through the ranks.
As they've matured and developed as players, he's done the same as a coach, and there's hope that might be a winning combination as the Bears embark on a new season after compiling a 5-11-1 record last year.
Spencer County High School Soccer program held its second annual alumni soccer game in the sweltering August heat Friday.
I have been in office for 18 months, and since then all Washington has done is spend trillions of dollars expanding the federal government, all while millions of Americans have lost their jobs and our unemployment rate has reached nearly 10 percent.
Small business owners I have heard from in Kentucky are looking at all the uncertainty coming out of Washington and are very concerned about what the future is going to look like. They do not have the confidence they need to expand their operations.
Melcany Ray learned how to make lumpia when she was seventeen and working in a restaurant in the Philippines. She made it every two days and learned the recipe by heart. They did not measure the ingredients, instead making the lumpia by feel.
Lumpia is a traditional Filipino dish, similar to spring rolls. It is often served for birthday parties or weddings.
