Roger Federer's Diary: The Aftermath
By Blair Henley
January 26, 2013 - The Day After
My emotions are still running high. That match with Andy may as well have ripped my heart out
Temple of Doom-style
. Om-Nom-Shivai. There were definitely some tears once I got back
to my Royal Delux
e Super Star Celebrity Penthouse Suite
, but I'm also feeling some anger this time around. Instead of weeping peacefully in my Wimbledon grass garden like I usually do, I couldn't help myself from pulling out the soft blades by the handful.
What can I say? Losing is just a miserable feeling. It's like waking up to the realization that my cowlick is acting up; like using a public john only to realize they stock one-ply toilet paper; like attempting to hug Mirka from behind only to realize it's one of our seven nannies. It just takes some time to recover, that's all.
On another note, I'm hearing that people are still flustered by my intensity yesterday. Here's what I have to say about that:
Image schmimage.
Everyone needs to utter the f-word now and then, right? But the double standard just kills me. Andy gets to terrify young children with his language and facial expressions, and I get called out for
dropping an F-bomb or two
. He can go on court looking like a
rotting banana
, and I get made fun of for wearing pink. He gets to go a solid month without brushing
his hair
, and I'm expected to look ready for a state dinner at the end of a four-hour match. Madness!
My lovely wife, on the other hand, appreciated my temper issues just a little too much. Apparently she likes it when I "talk dirty." Pretty sure she got the wrong idea. Regardless, she's always supportive, as are the many friends who sent texts after the match.
Tiger Woods
: Tough match bro. If u really want 2 stir things up, drop your next f-bomb
to the mic. Or maybe try
on the court. Peeps go nuts over that stuff!
Rafa Nadal
: You play a good match. No? You beat him the time next. Yes?
Sam Stosur
: Sorry, Rog. You may have lost, but your left arm was looking uncharacteristically muscular. #silverlining
Gavin and Gwen
: Roggeeerrr! Rock on! When we're having a bad day, we like to put our eyeliner on extra thick. U should try it!
Anna Wintour
: You put on a proper show, Mr. Federer. Not quite sure what I think about that undershirt, but we can discuss later.
Pippa Middleton
: Good try, Roger! I must say, your bum was looking spectacular tonight.
January 27, 2013
No entry.
Januray 28, 2013
I woke this morning to a gift basket at my doorstep. I opened the card first.
Many thanks to you, my friend. Let's be honest, I probably would have won anyway, but you did a spectacular job of tiring out
my friend
in the semis. His team is obviously not as skilled as mine when it comes to raising the dead. Regardless, I have sent you a little thank you.
Inside you'll find a year's supply of Pixy Stix. They are my secret weapon, my friend, and I want to share them with you, The Greatest. Also, I have included some of my extra Uniqlo shirts. I know you cannot wear them, seeing as how Nike pays you $743 million each year, but I thought you might want some spares so you could try ripping them off. My friend, you'll love the feeling. Though I do recommend grooming your chest hair if you decide to do it in public.
Your Friend,
Pixy Stix. Who would have thought? Can't wait to give those things a try. I'm feeling better already.
To read previous entries in Roger's diary, see here:
"A Magical Journey Begins,"
"Pretty in Pink,"
"Baby Arms."

Okay, so we're going to Disneyland for 4 days at January 6-9, since it would be very quiet at those times. However it turns out that my bro-in-law and his family would like to join us at Disneyland on the weekend (Jan 4-5) so we will add another 2 days at the park. So our party will include 5 adults and 4 kids (age 6,4,3,1). My question is how crazy will the last holiday weekend be? With small kids will it be unwise to go ? Will the wait times be unreasonable or it will be difficult to get a table for lunch/dinner? Sorry if I don't make sense, English is not my first language. Thank you all.
Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.
Hoping to squeeze in one day at disney for my birthday , Nov. 8,9,10,11 or 12. Will any of these days give me a "holidays at disneyland" experience? I would really love to see dl decorated for Christmas but it looks like the 8th is the most convenient day, also , crowd levels on these days? In comparison to like early June? (when I was there last)
Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.
Swampy, just circling back to confirm your thoughts (or anyone else who is reading this) on going to DLR on either: Sat. Nov 23, Mon. Nov 25, or Sat Nov 30- which do you feel is the least crazy, busy day?
I'm inclined to try 11/23, but the DL Update this past week suggested that Thanksgivng and AFTER would be less busy than the weekdays leading up to it b/c of the drastic AP blockouts that start on Thanksgiving. Looking at the blackout calendar, I can see that all the passes (except Premium) are restricted Thanksgiving weekend from Thurs - Sunday. Makes me think that 11/30 might be okay, too (though perhaps with more vacationers.)
Thanks again!
My office has Thankgiving Day Off, and is closed on Black Friday. Wednesday we excuse everyone at noon, as some take time to travel we don't want anyone to feel obligated to work. Monday and Tuesday are business as usual and employees have to take vacation days if they want them off, not too popular for this time of year.
Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.
Thanks again, Swampy. Appreciate the quick advice!
The whole thought that Disneyland would be LESS busy the weekend AFTER Thanksgiving is more proof that things have really changed there since "my day".
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Radiobarry, the "conventional wisdom" (and my expectation before reading that DD post the other week) would have been the same: DLR will be just as busy, if not busier, following Thanksgiving. But, when I consider the AP blackouts and that there are more than a million AP's now, the suggestion that the weekend after Thanksgiving may actually have smaller attendance figures makes some sense. I've noticed for most of the last decade (when I moved to SoCal) that going the weekend before or after a "long, holiday weekend" seems to be a great time to go to the parks, attendance-wise. But, I haven't been getting to the Parks as much the last 18 months as I used to and with guests coming, I wanted to follow-up on the suggestion that post-Thanksgiving might be "better" from an attendance standpoint.
Anyway, looks like I'll be going on Saturday 11/23 b/c that works best for our guests from out of town, but I'll be really curious to try and find out after the holiday what the attendance counts were prior and after. Not to prove anyone right or wrong, just because I'm genuinely curious about the outcome of the "experiment." I'll certainly report back here on what the crowds are like this coming Saturday.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Ello ello, quick question about busy times and such for spring 2014.
Hoping to go to DLR for about 4-5 days somewhere in the area of mid-Feb to Mid-March, any suggestions on which time would be the best to go? I haven't officially planned anything yet so dates are totally flexible at this point. Looking for light crowds, and if there are going to be any major attractions under construction then?
Thanks so much for any info.
Fantasmic and Fireworks will only be on the weekends, so a couple weekend nights are good. I suggest starting on a Saturday and finishing on a slow Tuesday or Wednesday for your 4th or 5th day.
Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.
So, I was at DL on Saturday Nov 23 and the crowd level was definitely managable. Not sure what the attendance was for the day, but I've been there when it's at 50,000+ and it was nothing like that. I'd guess maybe in the high 20k's / low 30k's? At 10am, Star Tours stand by was a 15 minute wait (which I can personally verify the accuracy of) and Haunted Mansion Holiday posted a 15 minute wait (was 30mins around 1pm.) Space Mountain was a 40 minute wait at 10:30. Indy was 40 minutes all day. In fact, I never saw any wait times over 40 minutes. Given the make-up of the crowd and its minor new overlay, "Jingle" Cruise had a not-too-surprising 40 minute wait at 3 pm.
So, overall, it was a great day, crowdwise. And, the weather held out nicely! Conclusion: I would do the Saturday before Tgiving again, if necessary.
Thanks for all the tips and advice here!
Ok, so I know it's well established that the parks will be packed on Thanksgiving Day, but does anyone know if traffic will be terrible? Normally I think of the bad traffic day as Wednesday. I've been guessing most people in the park on Thanksgiving will either be out of towners staying at hotels, or locals who are having dinner with their families (midafternoon as most do) and then going to the park after football's over, since there is nothing else to do besides stand around in lines for black Friday sales. Does that sound about right? I'm trying to figure out if I should expect major gridlock traffic trying to get to the park before opening on Thursday. Anybody know?

Galena Cellars also has a tasting room on Main Street in Galena, housed in a beautiful brick 1840s grain storehouse with a shaded wine patio.
Main Street Galena
Galena's historic Main Street -- named "Best Main Street in the Midwest" by Midwest Living magazine and one of America's Best Main Streets by Fodor's -- curves past nearly 100 19th-century storefronts. Galena looks much as it did during the time of the Civil War, although now the historic red brick buildings are home to charming boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. Galena is also known for its cozy lodgings, with quaint bed and breakfasts dotting the picturesque hillsides surrounding the town.

Equal pay
After almost 3 yrs with the company I only make .26 cents more than when I started.Keep asking for a raise to at least make what new hires make I never get a answer. We don't have a DM at this time and All I want is a raise to at least what new hires make. I always find something in the store to do when all they ever do is sit around when there are no deliveries or help when there are lots of customers in the store.

20 ways to use leftover dairy
Got leftover dairy rapidly approaching its use-by date in your fridge? Read this. more
How happy would the kids be if you said, "Okay, you can wrestle in the back seat?" A lot. When you add, "But you can only use your thumbs" they won't miss a beat. Siblings love being competitive, even if it is just over who has the strongest thumb.
Both players place their thumbs in mid-air, facing one another. With the right hand fingertips, grab your opponent's right hand fingertips and clasp tight together.
You are ready to begin! Try to catch one another's thumbs, it sounds easier than it is. Once the wriggling and giggling commences, this game is anyone's!
The only way to win is to pin down the opponent's thumb for a set count of 5.
Good luck!

Raman Spectroscopic Study of the Aging and Nitration of Actinide Processing Anion-Exchange Resins in Concentrated Nitric Acid
Volume 53, Number 8 (Aug. 1999) Page 943-953
Buscher, C.T.; Donohoe, R.J.; Mecklenburg, S.L.; Berg, J.M.; Tait, C.D.; Huchton, K.M.; Morris, D.E.
Degradation of two types of anion exchange resins, Dowex 11 and Reillex HPQ, from the action of concentrated nitric acid (4 to 12 M) and radiolysis [from depleted uranium as UO2 2+ nitrate species and 239Pu as Pu(IV) nitrate species] was followed as a function of time with Raman vibrational spectroscopy. Elevated temperatures (~ 50 degrees C) were used in the absence of actinide metal loading to simulate longer exposures of the resin to a HNO3 process stream and waste storage conditions. In the absence of actinide loading, only minor changes in the Dowex resin at acid concentrations < 10 M were observed, while at 12 M acid concentration, the emergence of a Raman peak at 1345 cm-1 indicates the addition of nitro functional groups to the resin. Similar studies with the Reillex resin show it to be more resistant to nitric acid attack at all acid concentrations. Incorporation of weakly radioactive depleted uranium as the UO2 2+ nitrate species to the ion-exchange sites of Dowex 11 under differing nitric acid concentrations (6 to 12 M) at room temperature showed no Raman evidence of resin degradation or nitration, even after several hundred days of contact. In contrast, Raman spectra for Dowex 11 in the presence of 239Pu as Pu(IV) nitrate species reveal numerous changes indicating resin alterations, including a new mode at 1345 cm-1 consistent with a Pu(IV)-nitrate catalyzed addition of nitro groups to the resin backbone.

A method and an apparatus for collision detection are proposed, which serve to make faster plausibility checking of a collision signal possible. To that end, the unfiltered sensor signal is used, and this unfiltered sensor signal is compared with a plausibility threshold. Preferably as a function of the comparison of the unfiltered signal with the plausibility threshold, a plausibility flag is set. This plausibility flag can be maintained for a relatively long time by a hold element. As the sensor, an acceleration sensor can advantageously be used.
1. A method for collision detection, comprising the following steps:
providing a sensor;
connecting an output of the sensor to a threshold value decider;
transmitting an unfiltered output signal of the sensor (1) directly to a low pass filter and directly to the threshold value decider;
comparing the unfiltered signal without a wavelet transformation with a predetermined plausibility threshold; and
detecting a collision on the basis of the comparison and of the filtered signal.
2. The method of

5. An apparatus for collision detection, comprising:
a sensor for outputting a signal;
a filter (3) that filters the signal, to which the sensor is directly connected;
a threshold value decider (2) for the unfiltered signal, to which the sensor is directly connected, so that the unfiltered signal is compared with a predetermined plausibility threshold without a wavelet transformation; and
a processor (8), wherein the processor detects a collision as a function of the comparison and of the filtered signal.

10. The apparatus of
The invention is based on a method and an apparatus for collision detection as generically defined by the preambles to the independent claims.
The method and apparatus of the invention for collision detection have the advantage that especially fast tripping times for the restraint means are made possible. This is especially highly advantageous in side collision sensors. Here, particularly by the use of the unfiltered sensor signal, fast plausibility check of the filtered tripping signal is made possible. The filtering for the signal to ascertain the collision is necessary to avoid so-called aliasing problems in the sampling. The low-pass-filtered signal is then evaluated by an electronic unit. The low-pass filtering delays the signal increase by valuable milliseconds, which do not occur when the unfiltered signal is evaluated. Since the unfiltered signal is used only for the sake of plausibility, the filtering for it can be dispensed with. A threshold need merely be exceeded. The sensor signal can be generated by an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, or other deformation sensors.
By the provisions and refinements recited in the dependent claims, advantageous improvements to the apparatus and method for collision detection recited in the independent claims are possible.
It is especially advantageous that exceeding the plausibility threshold sets a plausibility flag (flag). This is a marker or signal that indicates that the plausibility for collision has been recognized.
It is also advantageous that the plausibility flag is transmitted to a processor, where it is evaluated. The plausibility flag can advantageously be maintained for a predetermined length of time, in order to artificially prolong the duration of the flag, so that setting the plausibility flag only briefly is avoided. For this purpose, a hold element which is disposed downstream of the threshold value comparator for the plausibility threshold can advantageously be used. The threshold value comparator for the plausibility threshold can be embodied to be programmable, in order to adapt the plausibility threshold accordingly. The threshold value decider can be expanded with a view to requiring that the threshold be exceeded for a predetermined length of time before the plausibility flag is set. Brief spikes are thus prevented from leading to the plausibility check.
It is also advantageous that the housing of the sensor can be connected to a control unit, for instance via a two-wire line or a bus, and the control unit has a processor which evaluates the signals of the sensor, the low-pass-filtered signal, and the plausibility flag. The control unit itself can be connected to restraint means, so that in the event of a collision, the appropriate restraint means, such as air bags or seat belt tighteners, will be put into action. The filter and the threshold value comparator can be disposed in the housing of the sensor. For transmitting digital signals, the sensor advantageously has an analog/digital converter, which digitizes the plausibility check signal and the filtered sensor signals. This makes transmission of the data to the control unit as secure as possible.
Alternatively, it is possible for not only the sensor, the filtering, and the plausibility check but also the processor to be disposed in the same housing, making a complete control unit available.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing and will be explained in further detail in the ensuing description.
At present, a side collision is sensed with the aid of acceleration sensors in the vicinity of the crash event in the B pillar of the seat cross member or the door sill, or with the aid of pressure sensors in the door. The tripping decision must additionally be confirmed by one further sensor, the plausibility sensor, if restraint systems are to be tripped. Typically, acceleration sensors are used as the plausibility sensors. These sensors can be built in, for instance in the central air bag tripper, mounted on the tunnel. The remote acceleration sensors used for side crash sensing can also be used as plausibility sensors.
It is problematic that these plausibility sensor concepts are too slow. The tripping decision is delayed by valuable milliseconds because of the wait for confirmation from the plausibility sensor. With a high-speed plausibility sensor, the full performance of side crash sensors or other crash sensors can be exploited. This is the case with indirect deformation sensors, such as pressure or temperature sensors, which can very quickly detect a side collision.
As noted above, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, or other deformation sensors may be used as the sensor 1. The output signal of the sensor 1 is transmitted unfiltered to a low-pass filter 3 and to a threshold value decider 2. The threshold value decider 2 compares the unfiltered signal with a predetermined threshold, which can be input at the threshold value decider 2. It is possible for this threshold to be adaptively tracked as a function of the raw data signal. If the unfiltered signal exceeds the threshold predetermined in the threshold value decider 2, then the threshold value decider 2 sets a plausibility flag, which is transmitted to the analog/digital converter 4. The analog/digital converter 4 has a multiplexer, which [verb missing] the digitized signals, which the analog/digital converter 4 generates from the filtered signals from the low-pass filter 3, and the plausibility flag to a data stream, which is transmitted to a transmitter block 5, which transmits this data stream, via the two-wire line 6, to the receiver block 7 in the control unit 9. A current interface is employed here as the transmission principle. However, current width modulation or voltage pulses or radio or light transmissions are also possible. A bus connection is also possible between the control unit 9 and the sensor housing 12. In that case, the transmitter block 5 and the receiver block 7 would be embodied as bus controllers.
In the two-wire line 6 shown here, a direct current is transmitted from the control unit 9 to the transmitter block 5, at which the signals that are to be transmitted from the sensor 12 to the control unit 9 are modulated. A kind of power line transmission thus prevails. The receiver block 7 then transmits the received data stream to the processor 8. The processor 8 evaluates both the plausibility flag and the filtered data from the sensor 1. On the basis of the plausibility flag, the processor 8 recognizes whether it can be suspected that a crash is present, or not. Optionally, a further plausibility check can also be provided in the control unit 9. The plausibility flag and the digitized filtered signals are provided in a predetermined frame format for transmission.
To maintain the plausibility flag longer, the threshold value decider 2 has a hold element, for prolonging the holding time of the plausibility flag.
Alternatively, it is possible for the filtering, digitizing and processing to be done in the control unit 9, if there is at least one sensor in the control unit as well. However, it is also possible for all the elements to be accommodated in the housing 12, in that case making a complete control unit available. In this case, the housing 12 would be connected merely to the restraint means 11.
The plausibility check signal, that is, the plausibility flag and the digitized data, can also be transmitted simultaneously, for instance by a space multiplex, frequency multiplex or, as described above, time multiplex process.
