You and your kin will continue to deny this because your argument completely falls apart,but I'm not gonna get into an argument as to why a bad matchup is extremely hard to overcome,doesn't matter if your'e GOAT/not. The biggest reason why Fed is considered the GOAT by most experts is because they believe he's the most versatile and the most complete player the game has ever seen(he was called GOAT by some when he infact won only 5 slams)
Your mancrush Ralph got his *** kicked from Alaska to Texas against Djokovic 7 consecutive times on 4 different surfaces spanning 3 consecutive slams whilst both players being in their prime all because Ralph's moonballing tactics didn't work against Djokovic's incredible 2 hander. Ralph couldn't change a thing, that showed how limited he is as a player. When Djokovic's level fell through the floor in 2012, Ralph finally got some wins THAT too on his beloved clay.
FWIW moonballing the s**t out of Fed's BH with 5000+ rpm ain't a sign of inventive tennis,he's just lucky to have this massive matchup advantage,got it good.

LP candidates on way to rally lost at sea, end up in Sabah jail
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Rough seas swept away a motorboat carrying a Liberal Party mayoral candidate, his running mate and 30 supporters from Tawi-Tawi on Tuesday and took it to, of all places, Lahad Datu in Sabah, site of five weeks of fighting between Malaysian security forces and followers of the sultan of Sulu.
As a result, Rommel Matba, his vice mayoral running mate Amman Matba and 30 village leaders from Languyan town in Tawi-Tawi landed in a police station in Sandakan, where Malaysian police took them on suspicion they were reinforcements for the decimated forces of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III.
Jamalul's press officer Abraham Idjirani confirmed on Wednesday that Matba and his group were politicians campaigning for local elections in Languyan and not members of the sultanate's security forces.
"I was told they were traveling to Mapun municipality, also in Tawi-Tawi, for [a Liberal Party] rally when they were lost at sea because of strong currents in Tambisan Bay," Idjirani told the Inquirer by phone.
Capt. Rene Yongque, commander of Naval Task Force 62, reported that rough seas swept the Liberal Party group's motorboat across the border at Taganak Island in Tawi-Tawi where it was intercepted by Malaysian border police.
But Acting Gov. Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao used a different term to describe the misadventure of Matba's group.
"They were rescued by Malaysian maritime personnel and were taken to Sabah," Hataman said.
"We have already coordinated with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), which has issued a certification that Matba and his men were not part of any [Sulu] armed group," Hataman said.
Liberal Party Secretary General Joseph Emilio Abaya told the Inquirer that DFA officials were "already working" to bring Matba and his supporters back to the country.
Group armed
Idjirani said he learned from a relative of Matba that the group carried two M16 rifles and handguns "for the candidate's security."
Idjirani saw no problem, as the Commission on Elections (Comelec) allowed candidates to carry firearms for security and those carried by Matba's goup were within Comelec regulations.
Matba's group is "temporarily at the Sandakan police station," an official at the Philippine embassy in Kuala Lumpur told the Inquirer by phone.
The official, who asked not to be identified for lack of authority to speak to the press, said an embassy official was now in Sandakan to "make arrangements for their (Matba's group) repatriation."
Reports monitored from Digos City on Wednesday quoted Sabah Police Commissioner Hamza Taib as saying Matba and his supporters were detained and under investigation.
The group from Tawi-Tawi was closely guarded by Malaysian police because of a claim of the Sulu sultanate on Tuesday that 400 "volunteer fighters" had landed in Sabah to reinforce the decimated group led by the sultan's brother, Agbimuddin Kiram.
Fantastic claim
A government official, however, doubted the sultanate's claim.
"That is a fantastic claim. How can they get there when Malaysia has heavily militarized the northern and eastern coasts of Sabah?" the official said in an interview with the Inquirer.
The official, who requested anonymity, was referring to the special security zone set up by the Malaysian government in the coastal region of Sabah to prevent further intrusions after the military bombed Agbimuddin's armed group out of Tanduo village in Lahad Datu in early March.
Malaysian police say 70 members of Agbimuddin's group have been killed since fighting began on March 1. Ten police and two soldiers have been killed on the government's side.
Idjirani on Tuesday said 400 volunteer fighters landed in Sabah between March 30 and April 5, reinforcing Agbimuddin's group and leading to clashes with Malaysian security forces in Tanjung Batu village.
The size of the volunteer group is twice that of the original force led by Agbimuddin, which landed in Sabah on Feb. 9.
Another Inquirer source said Malacañang officials also doubted the Sulu sultanate's latest claim of support.
"It is difficult to believe that more than 400 men arrived in Lahad Datu without being detected, even if, let's say, they traveled at night in small groups," the source, also requesting anonymity, said.
The source was in a meeting with Palace officials when Idjirani's claim was reported by the news media.
Intrusion 'mastermind'
In Sabah, Hamza confirmed the arrest of a man whom witnesses claimed was the mastermind behind the intrusion of Agbimuddin's group into Sabah.
Hamza declined to identify the man, but said the suspect was also behind the attack by Agbimuddin's men in Semporna district on March 2. Two Malaysian policemen were killed in that attack, he said.
Hamza also refused to say whether the man was a Malaysian or a foreigner, as charges had yet to be filed against the suspect.
Fifteen Filipinos are facing charges in a Sabah court in connection with Agbimuddin's intrusion into the territory.
The Philippine government has hired Malaysian lawyer N. Sivananthan to represent the Filipinos, who are charged with terrorism and waging war against the king of Malaysia.
Tawi-Tawi probe
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday said it would reinvestigate 38 people arrested in Tawi-Tawi last month on suspicion of being part of Agbimuddin's group that fled Sabah after the Malaysian military assault on March 5.
A court in Tawi-Tawi earlier ordered the DOJ to conduct a preliminary investigation to give the 38 a chance to respond to the charges brought by the government against them.
Prosecutor General Claro Arellano said the preliminary investigation would be held in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, starting April 17.—With reports from Jerome Aning in Manila; and from Julie S. Alipala, Karlos Manlupig and Allan Nawal, Inquirer Mindanao

VW XL1: first drive
Wondering what the future of motoring looks like? Just take a gander at the 313mpg VW XL1
Posted: 08 Apr 2011
The battery is a Sanyo lithium-ion unit rated at 5kWh, with enough punch to drive on volts alone for 22 miles at moderate throttle openings and speeds under 62mph. Weight and energy-saving ideas predominate. There's electrical aircon, lightweight wiring with electrical fuses, low-friction plasma-sprayed surfaces on the engine bores and pistons and LED lamps including the headlights. When it comes to saving fuel, this is the guvnor.
While the designers didn't get much of a chance to stylise the exterior, in the cabin, they were dealt a freer hand. It's lovely, clean and easy to use, but also innovative. Unlike this car's tandem-seat antecedents, the seats are mounted side by side, but staggered so you don't clash shoulders. The passenger's seat is fixed, but the driver's adjusts along with the steering wheel to give a pretty good driving position for up to six-footers.

That's because the main media is liberal, and Texas is pretty hardcore conservative.

San Antonio is great in the spring time especially. Very nice winds out there, as opposed to the windless environment that is Houston, where it can feel like you're walking into someone's mouth when you step outside.

Stephane Mallarme
Mallarmé, Stéphane
Stéphane Mallarmé (stāfän´ mälärmā´), 1842–98, French poet. Mallarmé's great importance is as the chief forebear of the symbolists; many poets and other writers of the mid-1880s drew inspiration at the Tuesday evening gatherings where Mallarmé expounded his theories. He held that the poet should express the ideas of a transcendental world, that poetry should evoke thoughts through suggestion rather than description, and that it should approach the abstraction of music. Mallarmé's language defies traditional syntax and is frequently so obscure that it must be read with commentary. His best-known poems are Hérodiade (1869), L'Après-Midi d'un faune (1876; The Afternoon of a Faun), which inspired a composition by Debussy, and Un Coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard (1897; A Throw of the Dice Will Never Eliminate Chance). Editions of Mallarmé's poetry were published in 1887 and 1899, and a selection of prose, Divagations, in 1897. Mallarmé earned his living by teaching English. The influence of his poetry was particularly felt by Valéry.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were losing steam and trading mixed Friday as positive Chinese manufacturing data was offset by ongoing uncertainties about the "fiscal cliff" negotiations in the U.S. and a selloff of Apple (AAPL - Get Report) and United Technologies (UTX) shares.
Apple shares were sinking by more than 2% after a Delaware court ruled Thursday that the iPhone infringes upon three patents held by Sony (SNE) and Nokia (NOK).
United Technologies provided a 2013 profit outlook of between $5.85 a share and $6.15 a share and sales of between $64 billion to $65 billion; analysts are looking for earnings of $6.12 a share on revenue of $66.4 billion.
Shares were off more than 1%.President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Thursday night at the White House to discuss the U.S.budget, their first in-person meeting in four days. Statements from the White House and Boehner's office both described the talks as "frank," adding that the "lines of communication remain open." The HSBC December flash purchasing managers' index for China expanded to a 14-month high of 50.9, exhibiting five consecutive months of increases. A reading above 50 signifies growth. "Enthusiasm for equities continues to be tempered by the lack of progress by the White House and Congress on the fiscal cliff negotiations," said Addison Armstrong, senior director of market research at Tradition Energy. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 11 points, or 13.28 points above fair value, at 13,105. Futures for the S&P 500 were flat, or 0.20 points below fair value, at 1412. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 7.25 points, or 7.76 points below fair value, at 2639. "China's growth has a domestic edge to it, while the Japanese growth is reflecting weakness in international demand," noted Paul Donovan, global economist at UBS. Michael Lewis, global head of commodities research at Deutsche Bank, said despite the Fed's implementation of QE4, "the market remains focused on the potential adverse liquidity impact of the U.S. fiscal cliff." "Furthermore, the Fed's targeting of U.S. unemployment as a tool to gauge monetary accommodation could be taken as hawkish given the apparent decline in U.S. unemployment over the past year," added Lewis. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that the consumer price index fell 0.3% in November, down from a 0.1% rise in October. Economists forecast a 0.2% decline, The core CPI rose 0.1%, down from a 0.2% increase the prior month. The consensus expectation was for a 0.2% increase. At 9:15 a.m., the Federal Reserve is predicted to report that industrial production rose 0.3% in November following a decline of 0.4% in October, and that capacity utilization rose to 78% from 77.8%. European markets were trading mixed as eurozone manufacturing PMI data missed expectations, Germany's December composite output PMI increased to 50.5 and Standard & Poor's slashed its outlook on the U.K.'s triple-A rating to negative from stable. The FTSE 100 in London was down 0.19% and the DAX in Germany was up 0.17%. Japan's Nikkei average closed down 0.05% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index settled up by 0.71%. Gold for February delivery was up $1.30 at $1,698.10 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while January crude oil contracts were rising 82 cents at $86.71 a barrel.

NCSoft: City Of Heroes is unsaveable
Despite the fans best efforts, including a 20,000 signature petition, NCSoft will continue with the closure of City Of Heroes.
NCSoft has said that they came to the decision to close their comic-inspired MMO City Of Heroes and its developer Paragon Studios after exhausting all the options they had at their disposal and believe that the game is unsaveable.
A statement from the Korean MMO giant explained, "We wanted to let you know that your voices have been heard and your concerns have been taken into serious consideration. We appreciate the overwhelmingly constructive and positive messages in the emails, notes, and packages you've sent in support of the game."
"It has not been an easy decision for us to close Paragon Studios and prepare to shut down City of Heroes. We've exhausted all options including the selling of the studio and the rights to the City of Heroes intellectual property, but in the end, efforts to do so were not successful. City of Heroes has a special place in all of our hearts, and we want to ensure its reputation and the memories we share for the game end on a high note," it continued. "Once again, we will be holding events throughout the process of preparing for the game's end, and we encourage players and fans of the franchise to join forces and enjoy their time in a game that we've enjoyed supporting for more than eight years."
City Of Heroes will cease to operate on November the 30th.
Thanks MCV.

Nepal Maoists reject king's offer, announce blockade of capital
KATHMANDU (Reuters) – Nepal's Maoist rebels on Tuesday
rejected the king's decision to reinstate parliament and said
his speech was a sham that failed to address the demands of
mass street protests.
"The proclamation is a sham and a conspiracy against the
Nepali people," Maoist leader Prachanda said in a statement in
the Nepali language. "Our party firmly rejects this."
The country's main political parties had earlier welcomed
King Gyanendra's decision to restore parliament, dissolved in
2002, and said they planned to turn a mass protest on Tuesday
into a "victory celebration."
Prachanda said the parties had committed "another historic
mistake" and encouraged the Nepali people to continue peaceful
protests until the parties declared elections for an assembly
to write a new constitution.
He called for a blockade of Kathmandu, a city of 1.5
million people, and district capitals, until demands for an
unconditional constituent assembly were met.
"Neither has this addressed the slogans being raised on the
street for a constituent assembly and a republic, nor the
12-point understanding with the seven political parties,"
Prachanda said of the proclamation.
"Our party makes a strong appeal to the people to continue
peaceful protests until elections for an unconditional
constituent assembly are announced," he said.
Maoists entered a loose alliance with the main political
parties last year to end royal rule and set out a rough roadmap
for peace.
"When we talk about the people they are going one step
ahead of the constituent assembly and they are demanding a
republic," Comrade Sunil, a senior Maoist leader, told Reuters
by telephone. "Our party heartily respects this."
Maoists control vast swathes of the countryside and have
been waging a decade-long insurgency to end the monarchy and
establish a communist republic. More than 13,000 people have
died since 1996.

Windows uses this hash to authenticate you on the Active Directory domain. Windows hosts cache and re-use hashes to authenticate to other hosts on the network. This saves you the trouble of retyping your password when you access a file share. Attackers use stolen hashes to get access to other hosts on your active directory domain.
Dumping cached hashes requires local administrator access. Use Meterpreter→Access→Escalate Privileges to try several local exploits to increase your privileges. Go to Meterpreter→Access→Dump Hashes to steal the local cached credentials.
Now you need targets. Use the auxiliary/windows/smb/smb_version module to find other Windows hosts on the Active Directory domain.
Go to Attacks→Find Attacks to generate an Attack menu for each host. Highlight several Windows hosts, right-click, and use Attacks→smb→pass the hash. Armitage lets you choose which set of credentials to try. Pick a pair and click Launch. You've passed the hash. Each successful login will give you a Meterpreter session.
Patches exist for Metasploit's Windows privilege escalation exploits. Attackers who compromise a patched system don't have to stop though. They may scan for an unpatched host, exploit it and then carry out these steps.
Earlier, I defined a penetration test as a way to learn how attackers may get access to key systems and files. I suspect you did not find a working exploit for your key servers. Before you conclude your network penetration test, I'd like you to think like an attacker for a moment.
Attackers will use social engineering and client-side attacks to get a foothold. Attackers then will try to exploit a workstation to collect hashes. Using pass-the-hash, your patched Windows systems are no longer safe. What happens if attackers access your workstation, install a key logger and download your SSH keys? One vulnerable host can lead to a total compromise of your otherwise secure assets.
In this article, I've shown you the techniques attackers use against your network. You learned how to scan your network, exploit hosts and carry out post-exploitation actions. You also learned how to maneuver deeper into your network using the pass-the-hash technique. The next step is to apply what you have learned.
I recommend that you download the Metasploitable virtual machine. Metasploitable has many services you can exploit for shell access and information. Attack Metasploitable to become familiar with Armitage and Metasploit before you start your first penetration test.

text: The Xemnu wiki last edited by susurniek on 04/30/13 04:26AM View full history OriginXemnu was an intergalactic criminal who had been imprisoned on a prison planet, until he sneaked past guards and hijacked a supply ship. Xemnu arrived on Earth after his spacecraft ran out of fuel and crashed. His unconscious body is discovered by an electrician named Joe Harper. When he came to, Xemnu used telepathy to control Harper and later, each and every other human being on Earth and forced them to build a new spaceship so Xemnu could return home. As Xemnu departed, Harper was released from Xemnu's telepathic hold and sabotaged the ship's electrical system, electrocuting him and causing him to fall into a coma-like state. As the ship departed, Xemnu's hold over the people of Earth faded and they forgot he had ever existed.CreationXemnu was created by Jack Kirby and first appeared in Journey Into Mystery issue 62. In his first appearances, he was called "The Hulk". This was before the green Hulk we know today was created.

Korea by the seconds
Oh, hello blog. We've abandoned you for so long, but here we are with a short video! If you are not a close friend of ours or family you must not know we have been living in South Korea for the past 6 months. Here is a little taste of our life (notice Elle is completely absent from the video aside from her feet, I wonder who recorded it all!)
Monday, November 29
New York, New York
What a wonderful town! Travel-weary and homesick we nearly skipped over this gem of the east coast, but thankfully our friend and any other New Yorker we happened to meet laughed when they heard about our "day trip to New York". Needless to say we stayed a week, exploring mostly Brooklyn and Manhattan, without scratching the surface of this city of cities.
We could have spent days in the MOMA alone, staring at the countless beautiful paintings and video exhibitions. Another wonderful surprise was the ICP (International Center of Photography), which we did not get any pictures of, but is well-worth a visit if you are going on the museum circuit.
We left heavy-hearted, our heads filled with the sights and sounds of New York, a trip back across the country ahead of us and the promise to move there someday soon.
Sunday, November 21
It took us 37 days to get from Washington to Washington (D.C. that is). Our empty wallets smiled because, unlike the rest of the country, everything there is free! Allowing us to spend days wandering through museum after museum; monument after monument until we collapsed in a heap in Philadelphia.
What's more American than grilled cheese and burgers! After a bit of a trek we made it to Capitol City diner and enjoyed our meals (and amazing milkshakes) making us want to take a nap on the arboretum lawn.
We rested for awhile and made our way to The Museum of Natural History (The Best!) and squeezed our way through the crowds, gawking at their most famous pieces, and taking goofy pictures. Jay's favorite part was the giant ground sloth skeleton while I preferred the natural gemstone growths!
Thursday, November 11
We arrived in Atlanta in the early morning which was perfect timing for tea! Luck seemed to be on our side during our trip as we always ended up finding the cutest little shops. Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Party had excellent Darjeeling Tea, Vegan Spice Cupcakes and a wall of portraits. All of which gave us the energy to explore!
Luck wasn't the only thing we had. Rhiannon of Liebemarlene gave us an extensive list of recommendations including the very best pizza we have ever had (Sadly we were too busy stuffing our faces and the idea to take a picture came as an afterthought), an old southern plantation that wooed us, and a number of vintage shops.
Tuesday, November 9
New Orleans
After a delicious catfish lunch in Baton Rouge we drove across the Bayou, dotted with small houses on stilts and sparsely growing forests, slowly entering the storybook city of New Orleans. As Seattlites we were especially excited by the promise of roasted chicory iced coffee, which did not disappoint!
We could easily have spent hours walking the neighborhoods, gawking at intricate ironworks and fancy french trims present on nearly every house (Oh how I wish we could transport one of those houses to Seattle). After a while of wandering we ended up in the historical graveyards that sprawl throughout the city; never had we thought we would have wanted to roam a cemetery, but the old mausoleums were so beautiful!

The promoter of WBC heavyweight champion of the world, Oleg Maskaev of Russia, has indicated it believes that it should be awarded the promotional rights to his upcoming fight against mandatory challenger Samuel Peter of Nigeria, which would render bout contracts presented by Don King Productions invalid..
Given this position and in the context of current litigation, the President of the African Boxing Union, Houcine Houichi, has sent a recommendation for the WBC to not only continue in court to defend itself in the case presented by the champion's representative, but to also unfreeze the heavweight championship by immediately ordering an interim heavyweight world championship between Samuel Peter and the highest rated available contender in the WBC ratings, according to the WBC rules and regulations, while the court case by Maskaev's representative is being resolved

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Ovid receives an anachronistic fan letter from Pants on Fire's Metamorphoses, a recent hit at the Edinburgh Fringe now playing at the Flea. In this lively, if at times overzealous, adaptation of Metamorphoses, director Peter Bramley has relocated the tales to London during the Blitz. In an unpersuasive director's note, he argues that both Ovid's era and the '40s "were times when the concept of a 'Hero' and a 'Monster' were very real things."
While this never properly justifies the temporal mash-up, it does provide an excuse to set the myths amid some playful songs and gorgeous costumes. Hence Jove appears in a smoking jacket and Juno in a sharp cocktail dress; Ariadne wears a fetching hat as she sings "Am I Blue." While comparing Theseus to a soldier with brain injury or Tiresias to a cabaret singer doesn't really stick, Narcissus is credible as a matinee idol, and it's nicely chilling when Io, transformed into a cow, dons a bovine gas mask.
Even the less successful efforts speak to Bramley's sparkling imagination, but at times he seems not to trust the text or his actors at all, so eager is he to subject it to his own cleverness. Each episode occurs very quickly, and even in the midst of them Bramley supplies ample distractions. Rather than merely reciting their lines, Io tap dances, Salmacis pirouettes, Echo does the washing up, all while actors drag scenery around and incidental music plays. Ovid's subject is the world in constant flux, but even he must have allowed for the occasional pause.

(Delhi, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Agra)
An entrancing mix of temples, tigers, and the Taj Mahal! Shop your way through busy markets, indulge in exotic curries, and tour some of India's most important sites with your expert private guide.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
PLEASE NOTE: Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is closed from July 1 - September 30 due to the monsoon season.
Relax and enjoy an airport transfer in a private vehicle, with driver, and English-speaking assistant.
Spend the day on a privately guided full day tour of Old and New Delhi which boasts spectacular monuments and holy sites. The city of New Delhi was designed in the typically British colonial style, with tree-lined avenues and colonial bungalows. This tour takes you to the Laxminarayan Temple, a modern Hindu temple, and the famous Gate of India, which is a 42-meter high War Memorial Arch. On route you drive past the Parliament House, the secretariat buildings and the Vice Regal Palace that is now the official residence of the President of India. Visit the Red Fort which was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, when he moved his capital from Agra to bring prestige to his reign. Its wall is 1.5 miles long, and varies in height from 60 to 110 feet. At 72.5 meters, the Qutab Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Surrounding the building are many fine examples of Indian artwork dating back to 1193. Afterwards view the Humayun's tomb, which is a complex of buildings of Mughal architecture dating to the Slave Dynasty (1268-1287 AD). The complex is a World Heritage Site and the first example of this type of Mughal architecture in India. This style of mausoleum is similar to the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Meet your driver for a private transfer to Jaipur. The drive takes approximately 5 and half hours.
From its creation in 1727, the royal families and nobles of Jaipur patronized the craftsmen and artisans of the city. These traditions continue to this day and as a result modern day Jaipur is considered by many as the craft capital of India. Traditional methods are still used to produce many valuable and highly prized items. Using skills passed down through generations, artisans and master craftsmen can be seen in the areas of Ghat Darwaza and Vishveshwar ji. On this fascinating evening walk mingle and talk with the locals whilst sampling some of the region's culinary delights; try pakoras, aloo tiki, samosa and ladoo from some of the city's most popular street food vendors. Observe local artisans in their workshops; jewelers and silversmiths, gold painters and tie dying experts. The iconic Hawa Mahal also called the Palace of the Winds is the meeting point at which this two and a half hour walk begins.
Spend the day today in the company of a knowledgeable English speaking guide as you tour the Amber Fort and City Palace of Jaipur, the iconic Observatory and the Hawa Mahal. The magnificent Amber Fort was established in 1592, and remained the citadel of the Kachhawaha rulers right until they moved their capital to Jaipur in 1727. Maharaja Man Singh I created this imposing monument on the remains of an ancient 11th century fort. Since the first half of the 18th century, the City Palace has been the abode to the rulers of Jaipur. The sprawling expanse of the breathtaking palace is a superb harmony of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Part of the palace has been converted into a museum, open to the public, while a section - Chandra Mahal - still remains the home of today's maharaja. The Observatory of Jaipur is inscribed on the World Heritage List as "an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period". Within it, the Jantar Mantar is a collection of massive astronomical instruments, built of local stone and marble. Each instrument carries an astronomical scale marked on the marble inner lining, and bronze tablets were also employed. Built in 1799, the whimsical Hawa Mahal - Palace of Winds - which adjoins the Palace has become quite the city icon, with its ornate facade in pale pink, tiered baroque like build, projecting 'jharokha' windows and balconies with perforated screens. These were designed so that the mysterious veiled ladies of the harem could look down upon the colourful and bustling bazaars below, remaining hidden themselves. Overlooking busy streets, it offers great views of the city. We feel the Amber Fort is best reached by car, but an optional elephant ride is available should you prefer (cost not included).
Meet your driver for a private transfer to Ranthambore. The drive takes approximately 3 hours.
Join a Tiger Tracking Safari to Rajasthan's first Project Tiger reserve, spread over 392 square kilometers. The park is named after the 1,000 year old fort which stands within the reserve. Game viewing for tigers is often successful. The park is also home to sambhars, cheetahs, wild boars, leopards, sloth bears, jackals, and hyenas among others.
The 13th century Ranthambore Fort is in the midst of the jungle, and features the palaces of Toran Dwar, Mahadeo Chhatri and Sameton KiHaveli. Within the fort you will also find the 32-pillar Chhatri, a mosque and the Ganesh Temple.
Meet your driver for a private transfer to Agra. The drive takes approximately 6 hours.
Today your guide will pick you up from your hotel for a private tour of Taj Mahal, the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal. Also visit Agra Fort, built of red sandstone and marble. This great monument of red sandstone dominating a bend in the river Yamuna, two kilometers northwest of Taj Mahal was constructed by the Mughals during 1565-1571.
Meet your driver for a private transfer to Delhi. The drive takes approximately 4 hours.
The Lalit New Delhi, a 460 room super luxury hotel, stands tall in the heart of city's premier business and commercial district – Connaught Place. Right next to lively shopping centers, office complexes and colourful streets, the hotel is 24 kms from the international airport and just minutes from government offices, cultural centers and international trade fair grounds. It is also within close proximity to historical landmarks like India Gate, Jama Masjid and Red Fort.
Unexpected and charming, Samode Haveli is a self-contained, intimate, heritage hotel, hidden deep in the folds of the busy streets of old Jaipur. A nobleman's urban abode restored to perfection, the Haveli emerges, as if from nowhere at the end of a narrow lane - an oasis of serenity in the depths of the lively city. Whenever you come to visit the treasures of Jaipur, this is the hotel you will want to make your home. As a quintessential Indo-Saracenic regal residence, Samode Haveli is seeped in history and tradition, and yet offers its guests contemporary luxuries and the impeccable hospitality and courtesy that are the signature style of the Samode group of hotels.
Located amidst 12 acres of lush gardens, Vivanta by Taj - Sawai Madhopur Lodge, a 70-year-old hunting lodge exudes a rustic, earthy charm and an air of history. The lodge is a 20-minute drive from the Ranthambore National Park, which is famous for its tiger population. All guestrooms and suites embody rustic style and comfort. From casual, all-day eateries to formal, fine dining, guests can look forward to a wide selection of delectable dishes and refreshing drinks. Take part in the resort's various recreational activities for fun, adventure, knowledge and relaxation.
Gracious interiors, personalized service and the Taj Gateway Hotel's unique style are complemented by Agra's glittering monument to love, the Taj Mahal. Set amidst six acres of landscaped gardens, this tranquil retreat is an ideal spot for a business or leisure stay, offering a magnificent view of The Taj Mahal from most rooms. The Taj Gateway offers a distinctive dining experience, one that explores the nuances of the finest Indian and international cuisines, serving traditional and contemporary favorites. Guests can take advantage of the hotel's recreation activities including swimming pool, dart games and a fitness center.

"Sunita Singh did an outstanding job
Overall an excellent trip, well carried out.
Outstanding services
The drivers in Delhi and overland from Agra to Udaipur made a great impression. Both were accomplished and accommodating. Access to transport in Delhi and Mumbai on our leisure days was noted and appreciated.
Guides in Delhi, Agra and Udaipur were standouts. The transfer reps all did an excellent job particularly since, on a number of occasions, they were there in the middle of the night.
All accommodations except for Mumbai were excellent. Memories of the culture of India ranks first but a close second in our minds will be the palace hotels.
The Leela Palace offers a peaceful and intimate refuge from the bustle of Delhi. Our reaction to the Nadesar was that it was the best hotel ever. Little did we realize each subsequent hotel in Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur would top that, except for the last in Mumbai.
We were there at an important moment in India's development and the various viewpoints in different cities reflects the promise and challenges facing the country.
Some thought the shock of Varanasi could be better absorbed later in the itinerary, however, the geography preempts that alternative.
Always room for improvement so we would offer the following
Biggest disappointment was the Taj Tower in Mumbai. Small rooms that could be anywhere on the planet. Better choice would be the old wing which matches up better with the overall experience.
Not all of the guides were understandable. They all seemed intelligent and knowledgable but were lacking in delivery of a dialogue. Some speak in a droning monologue that is difficult to follow and includes blinding detail that is soon forgotten.
Two glitches that were remedied: The pickup of the van in Agra had an impossible seating arrangement but that was corrected overnight to our complete satisfaction. The Lake Palace Rooms in Udaipur were initially a problem. One room was lovely but the other two were substandard, although the hotel said they were in the same class. Basically, the better room had the bathroom and closet along the full wall while the substandard alternative used only half the wall resulting in a minute closet, no shower, a single sink and no window. They initially stated that there was nothing better but within an hour the duty manager had found two adjacent rooms on another floor that had the double sinks, separate claw bath and shower overlooking the lake as well as better closet space. They graciously moved us while we were at dinner on the rooftop.
Finally there is always the gouging at shops where the guides get a commission. At a couple of stops this seemed egregious but we are all seasoned travellers and work around that annoyance.
Some of the others may wish to add to these comments but those are my thoughts.
Good memories, thanks"

"My Husband and I recently traveled to India the had the most amazing experience..
India is a remarkable country. it is the oldest civilization in the world and we were constantly marveling at the continuity of the culture over the millenniums.
We highly recommend that you book your India trip with the Kensington Tours INDIA Specialist, Senior Sales Consultant Sunita Singh who has lived in India & travelled extensively within the country and neighboring countries.
The entire trip was well planned and ran without a hitch. The guides were excellent, well educated, very knowledgable and extremely solicitous of us. A special recommendation to our driver Rakesh (spelling?) who negotiated the roads and sometimes heavy and interesting traffic with skill and good humor.
This was a private tour comprising of my husband and I. We were most impressed with the way the trip was organized and with the quality and care shown by every Kensington representative along the way.
We visited all the important destinations which exceeded our expectations. A wonderful aspect of traveling in this manner was that our guides were able to take us off the beaten path and we experienced local India in this way.
Our travels took us to Delhi, Varanasi, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Udaipur, the temples in Ranakpur and Agra. Varanasi was the highlight of the vacation. It is such a spiritual and special place and well worth the detour. The hotels were all 5 star plus and luxurious. We especially loved The Lake Palace in Udaipur and the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur. The Oberoi in Agra was also amazing.
It was a treat and a privilege to travel through Rajasthan in this way. India is such a special country to visit."

Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I, but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena.
This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

Mindanao service facilities launched
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The three new shared service facilities (SSFs) in Mindanao are seen boosting local industries' capabilities in food production, processing and packaging.
A combined fund of about P2 million was allocated for the muscovado processing center in President Quirino, Sultan Kudarat; production center for herbal food products in Tampakan, South Cotabato; and food production and packaging facility for the Malapatan Food Processors Association in Malapatan, Sarangani Province.
These facilities are expected to improve the quality of products produced by the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to make them more sellable to the market.
In a statement, the Department of Trade and Industry said the Sugar Planters Association of Tinaungan (SPAT) in Sultan Kudarat was the beneficiary of the muscovado processing facilities.
DTI said Mayor Azel Mangudadatu had expressed confidence that with the new facilities, "the muscovado industry will escalate more and that it will help the community [members] become world class muscovado exporters."
The Danlag Women's Association (DWA) in South Cotabato was the first recipient of the herbal food product center, as its 81 members are already engaged into herbal tea production like turmeric (luyang dilaw) and ginger (salabat). The Malapatan Food Processors Association in Sarangani, meanwhile, was provided P1 million worth of equipment that can be used for food production and packaging.
This month, four more shared service facility projects are expected to be launched. Two of these projects are for coffee roasting, which will benefit the Lebak Federation of Coffee Growers and The Kalamansig Municipal Employees Association, both from Sultan Kudarat.
Two more SSF projects in Sarangani province have been lined up as well. These are for the coco coir twine and geotextile business of the La Paz Coco Farm Cooperative (LPCFC), and the provision of metal detector for processed food products for the Association of Sarangani Quality Producers.—Amy R.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
This well-proportioned one bedroom flat is located on the ground floor of a period building, moments away from the popular Campo de Fiori and the beautiful Piazza Farnese. The apartment has kept some of its original characteristics such as the beam ceiling and the cotto floor. It has been refurbished throughout with modern taste. The living room faces the charming patio of the building and has sofa bed for two, kitchenette and smart dining area. There is also a double bedroom and bathroom with shower. This apartment is recommended for anyone who is looking for a familiar and warm atmosphere in the centre of Rome.
Walking distances:
Campo de Fiori - 2 mins
Piazza Farnese - 2 mins
Best pizza ever (Forno, C.de Fiori) - 2 mins
Piazza Navona - 4 mins
Pantheon - 5 mins
Trastevere - 5 mins
Top ice cream (La Palma) - 6 mins
Imperial Forums - 7 mins
Mouth of Truth - 8 mins
Trevi Fountain - 11 mins
Spanish Steps - 15 mins
Colosseum - 18 mins
Vatican City - 18 mins
It is the ideal starting location to explore each corner of the Eternal City.
Spacious, immaculately clean, good bathroom, kitchen supplied with everything needed for light cooking. Terrific location. Weak internet.
We were a bit sceptical at first since the apartment is on the ground floor, one window gives to the street and there was one remark about noise. Well, the street is quiet and we slept well. There is some noise, when the main entrance door falls into lock, but that was no problem at night. The apartment is neat and comfortable, just as pictured in the exposé and we felt totally comfortable there. It is not international the hotel standard, but we liked it just because of that. The location is absolutely perfect: a few steps from Campo de Fiori, and Plazzo Farnese, (almost) all the important sites in walking distance, nice restaurants in the neighbourhood, but away from the tourist crowds. We hadn't been in Rome for many years, but now we are planning to come back soon, hopefully to the same place
We had wonderful three night stay in this lovely apartment in the heart of Rome. Every place we wanted to visit was easily reachable from this location, not to mention that we had a feeling of real Rome life in Campo de Fiori. Tastefully furnished and practical apartment was more than enough for four of us and we enjoyed the moments of rest as if we were in our own homes. Tiny problems with internet and shower mixer weren't that serious to ruin the overall experience, and I guess those small problems are already solved. This was easily best accommodation during our trip through Italy and it will be the first place to check if we ever visit Rome again. Big thanks to Lucretia, Martina and Marta.
We are a couple with a 7 year old daughter. We have spent 7 days in this apartment. The location is perfect, in the heart of the old district. There's a bus stop close by (bus 116 stop in via Giulia), a supermarket 100 meters away, affordable restaurants, and some great ones (Pierre Luigi or La Carbonara). The owner (Marta) was very helpful and welcoming. The apartment is inside an old building, very charming. Campo di Fiori is very close, but far enough to escape from the night noises. The apartment is at street level, so sun light does not get in, but I strongly recommend it anyway, given the reasonable price per night. Thanks to Lucrezia for the "pre work" before our arrival, and the nice welcoming and help from the owner Marta.
My wife and I had a pleasant stay in this nice and quiet apartment. It is a small flat but it is very well equipped and maintained. There was all we needed to be comfortable while in Rome. The great part is the location! The apartment is located in a charming and quiet building right in the middle of the historical center, no need to take taxi or public transportation, we had the chance to walk almost everywhere in Rome. The persons from the agency were very accommodating and everything went smooth from the reservation until the end of our stay. We really suggest other couples to spend few days in this apartment.
Great location, nice apartment, host was very helpful and nice. We very much enjoyed our stay. I wish we could have stayed longer, frankly. We hope to come back soon!
You are in the heart of Baroque Rome, but not only on every corner you will find many traces of ancient Rome. Campo de Fiori, where every morning since 1869 there is a market of flowers and fruit, is just around the corner. You can walk along streets steeped in history and arrive in a few minutes to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon.
From this strategic location, you can easily walk to other places extraordinary as Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum or cross Ponte Sisto to explore the secrets of Trastevere and get a taste of real Roman life.
The whole area is safe and wonderful for walking, full of food, shops, restaurants, wine bars and taverns beautiful.

Dark, brooding, intense and edgy – this could very well be the description of the typical Mills & Boon hero, but we are talking about our charismatic telly boys. Tall, dark and handsome, these guys are enigmatic, and have got our pretty heroines in a fix! Whether it's the volatile Rudra of Rangrasiya, the bitter Karan of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, cynical Shlok of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, the angry Mrityunjay of Ek Boond Ishq, manipulative Sameer of Main Na Bhoolungi, chauvinistic Samrat of Doli Armaanon Ki, or even the suspicious Akbar of Jodha Akbar, the leads are no longer the good guys with golden heart. They have shades of grey and at times even lean towards black! Yet these Byronic heroes with a troubled and mysterious past hold a strange fascination for viewers, especially the female viewers.
On the edge
"If your hero is edgy and better still, carries a baggage from the past, it gives good scope for a love story," declares Saurabh Tewary, who is producing Rangrasiya. He first made RK of Madhubala edgy, quirky and then took the angry young man to another level with the acerbic Rudra. Viraf Patel who grew his hair long and sports a beard to play the broody Mrityunjay in Ek Boond Ishq feels women like such cagey heroes. "It's like the forbidden fruit for the women," he grins. Yash Patnaik who is producing Main Na Bhoolungi avers that dark heroes always work. "He becomes the epicentre and all the characters around start responding to him. For some reason women love such characters. Shah Rukh became Shah Rukh after Baazigar and Darr," he points out. In fact, even in his earlier serial Junoon – Aisi Nafrat Toh Kaisa Ishq he had a edgy hero in Aditya Redij and currently in Ek Veer Ki Ardaas – Veera, the character of Baldev, Veera's romantic interest started off as the anti-hero. "We had built Veera as the good girl since she was a child, to make the love story interesting, we needed the guy to be rough, rustic and edgy, not a regular hero," he elaborates.
Actors love it
For the guys, it's a challenge to portray these mysterious but dashing heroes. Mohit Malik and Avinash Sachdev play male chauvinists in Doli Armaanon Ki and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon respectively. Says Avinash, "Every scene is a challenge because Shlok is completely opposite to what I am in real life. I have to think what Shlok will do in a particular situation and then act. He's never in a good mood and there is a lot of roughness in him. People call me sadu on the sets, but I take it as a compliment." For Ashish Sharma it was a challenge to project the angst, the fearlessness and the desolate look in Rudra's eyes. "It's important to believe in the character, to get into the depth and connect with the pain," he says. Vikas Manaktala aka Sameer finds it difficult to justify the wrong in his character but loves it. "I don't like the stereotypical villain and believe that every character has a justification for his behaviour," avers the actor who went from good to completely bad in the serial. Then there's Karan of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. You could be forgiven if you think Karan Patel is actually bitter and cynical just like his namesake in the serial. However, Karan clarifies, "It's a fantastic opportunity to play this role because I am genuinely not like that at all. The best part is when people tell me they understand and sympathise with the character."
Getting into the pysche
While all the actors agree that it's interesting to portray such intense characters, they are also unanimous about it taking a toll on their personal lives. Mohit would become cranky and moody after the shoot and snap at everyone on the sets. "I didn't want to talk much at home too and kept to myself," admits Mohit who has now joined a dance class to unwind. Ashish listens to music and reads a lot of books to get out of the character and simmer down. Viraf jokes that he has employed a therapist on the sets "in case I lose the plot!" "Seriously, it's when people around ask you to chill and cheer up after the director's said cut, that you realise how strung you are," says Viraf who admires Leonardo Da Capri for his edgy role in Inception. Vikas had an interesting experience. So disturbed was his landlady with his villain act, that she refused to renew the lease of her house. "It was my good track record in the society that helped me win the landlady and continue," he smiles.
What an attitude!
In a scenario dominated by women, these lone wolves stand out. Says Kshama Rao, an avid TV viewer, "When all the action on TV is women-centric, it is refreshing to see men like Karan and Rudra who are unapologetically imperfect. You also get to see good looking men with distinct personalities and an attitude." And, with more such heroes on the anvil like the arrogant Shaurya of Ek Hasina Thi, men on TV are getting deliciously complicated!

When things aren't working, even at the pro level, yes equipment changes are at the top of the list.
Anyways I don't doubt that Greg has Federer's actual playing racquet, I doubt that it has been leaded to what Federer plays with which changes anyways.
Its the never ending discussion until someone like Nate Ferguson confirms his setup I suppose.
The racket The Animal has is that racket, and as you can see it is indeed total custom, has his sig as his racket always does, but we are not understanding the balance.
What other players in the past have had success with an even balance? One thing to note is that this racket would IMO be amazingly stable and able to take antying at all that was thrown at it.
With The Animal info the Roger SW range would be 350-360 from what I can tell, Perhaps this is a setup c) for grass?
Or just a past setup and as you said only used once?
