bought the other thing instead.
Did you buy the thing that does the thing with the other thing, or did you just buy the other thing?
I so would have bought that other other thing, but the other thing does look as good as the other thing I admit.

The thing that has that thing with the other thing is really something else. But not that one thing, it kinda sucks.
I tried to kitbash that thing with the other thing, but it didn't work. What do you think is wrong?

Did you set up the thing so that it was in line with the other thing or was it set up aligned to the thing beside the thing?
I made sure that thing on the thing was selected, then I clicked on that other thing, none of the things on the thing were ticked. I was expecting that thing to happen instead of the other thing.
The thing with that thing is it needs the thing from the other thing to work with the one thing so that thing can function without the other thing, but only if that thing is co dependent on the one thing.

Does that thing come with the other thing, or do you need to get that other thing in order to get the thing? Because I don't have the thing for that other thing, so I'd hate to have to get that other thing and then only use that thing and not be able to use the thing for the thing.

MULATTO'S DILEMMA's Juliette Fairley Wins Award at 2013 New York International Film Festival in LA
Filmmaker Juliette Fairley's film Mulatto's Dilemma was awarded Best Romantic Comedy at the 2013 New York International Film Festival at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles yesterday while her film screened back east at the New Jersey Film Festival at Rutgers University. The award-winning film stars Miss Fairley, Hassan Goding, Nikki Jamitz James and Cassidy Knight.
"It's an honor to be recognized for my acting and directing work," said Fairley who is in pre-production on her fourth film Diary of a Mulatto. Fairley's body of work has been endorsed by the likes of Malcolm X's Daughter Ilyasah Shabazz, Cosby Kid Jasmine Guy and Law & Order Actor Richard Brooks. "Being bi-racial is a timely topic in America right now," says Fairley whose mother white and father African American. "Interracial relationships have been increasing exponentially since 2010."

So you're saying there's a chance!
Well lets see. I was born and raised in west Michigan where I learned what true cold is,and halloween could mean a snow suit under your costume. My friends would say I'm funny, sarcastic and joke around some times a little to much. I'm a little to loud which from time to time can get me in trouble. It doesn't help that my voice can cut through a crowd. I'm a detail guy and notice the strangest things most of the time its of the oddest things. For fun I like to run along the strand and get in the zone. Driving up to the mountains can be a great stress reliever and get your mind off of LA and the busyness that it can have. I moved out to SoCal 3 years ago for a training position with my job, of which I have graduated from and now finally making enough money to live on my own and start enjoying what LA has to offer. Shortly after I moved to the southbay I found a church that I really enjoy going to and have some awesome friends who attend there too. With out the church and my friends and family I'm sure my life would not be as great as it is now.

IN THE wake of World Malaria Day on Monday comes news that certain anti-cancer drugs might also work against the malarial parasite.
There were 780,000 deaths and 225 million cases of malaria in 2009. With resistance to existing anti-malarial drugs growing all the time, new weapons against the disease are a priority.
Now Christian Doerig of the Lausanne Federal Polytechnic in Switzerland and colleagues have discovered that Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, co-opts two red blood cell proteins called kinases. Many new cancer treatments also target kinases, and when the team exposed malaria-infected red blood cells and liver cells to some of these "kinase inhibitors", they killed the bug but not the cells (Cellular Microbiology, DOI: 10.1111/j.1462-5822.2011.01582.x).
"Our discovery opens up new ways to potentially combat malaria," says Doerig, although he cautions that the work is very preliminary. However, the team is in discussions with pharmaceutical companies to test more kinase inhibitors, especially those that have proved safe in clinical trials but didn't make the grade as cancer drugs.

Efficient Choice Designs for a Consider-Then-Choose Model
Existing research on choice designs focuses exclusively on compensatory models that assume that all available alternatives are considered in the choice process. In this paper, we develop a method to construct efficient designs for a two-stage, consider-then-choose model that involves a noncompensatory screening process at the first stage and a compensatory choice process at the second stage. The method applies to both conjunctive and disjunctive screening rules. Under certain conditions, the method also applies to the subset conjunctive and disjunctions of conjunctions screening rules. Based on the local design criterion, we conduct a comparative study of compensatory and conjunctive designs--the former are optimized for a compensatory model and the latter for a two-stage model that uses conjunctive screening in its first stage. We find that conjunctive designs have higher level overlap than compensatory designs. This occurs because level overlap helps pinpoint screening behavior. Higher overlap of conjunctive designs is also accompanied by lower orthogonality, less level balance, and more utility balance. We find that compensatory designs have a significant loss of design efficiency when the true model involves conjunctive screening at the consideration stage. These designs also have much less power than conjunctive designs in identifying a true consider-then-choose process with conjunctive screening. In contrast, when the true model is compensatory, the efficiency loss from using a conjunctive design is lower. Also, conjunctive designs have about the same power as compensatory designs in identifying a true compensatory choice process. Our findings make a strong case for the use of conjunctive designs when there is prior evidence to support respondent screening.

Bear Lodge Tapestry Throw
- Reviews
Manual Woodworkers and Weavers, Inc. Bear Lodge Tapestry Throw is rated out of 5 by 2.Rated 5 out of 5 by DIANNA J. from I already have one of these.Only problem with these is that I have a cat that isn't declawed yet and she loves taking over my "spot" on the sofa,even if I only leave the room for a minute.She jumps down or moves over when I come back,but has occasionally "snagged" the throw. But I now have a spare. The graphics on these throws are beautiful! I also have a couple of the deer throws.Great for curling up to watch TV or as a furniture cover.Date published: 2011-12-11

Sometimes owner-operators are their own worst enemy. They too often do things to undermine their business – like budgeting based on the best of times, not year-long averages.
Or they switch carriers to one promising more home time, for example, without checking everything, only to discover they can't make payment with the truck parked in the driveway every night.
A small fleet owner in Eden, Minn., who has had experience with owner-ops who don't look at the big picture, offers these Top 5 ways to sabotage your future:
That may sound cynical, but his observations are accurate – at least some of the time in almost all cases. It's human nature to be optimistic, but as a business operator, only you can make the right decision. Whether it's running a single-truck operation or a large fleet, you have to do what's best for the business. Good decision-making comes from being informed and knowledgeable.
That's why one of the biggest and most common mistakes both new and seasoned owner-operators make is not asking enough questions. That one's followed closely by looking at the world through rose colored glasses.
Here's my Top 5 list of things you must do to prosper as an owner-operator:
Success in business is not a right. It's a reward for a well-executed business plan.
Tags: Business, Owner-Operators
Really liked the article good sound advice
excellent article , thank you .
The article is right on. I learned early on how much it costs to switch companies. Also I have seen many owner operators with new pickups, boats and bikes,,,financed. Then when the truck falls down, they just arn't making " enough money here" to pay for repairs. Buget for the hard times,you won't be sorry.
To many people are telling me this is not the time to be an owner operator, but I been hearing that for years
Hey Nathan don't listen that ppl they just want to not do it what u need to do it
Hi I've been driving trucks since 2006 I've been thinking of owning a truck for the last year and everyone I talk to said it's a bad time a NY advise on a good company in n.c to wrk fo
Thank you for advise. I'm just starting out as an owner operator. Need all the help I can get.
Hi I am going into owner operator I am looking for any help and advice. I am looking into eagle logistics services company. Any info on company?
I am a owner operator... Eagle is a good company
Actually I have to disagree with the horsepower/fuel mileage thing.My father was an owner operator for 25 years as I have been a good share of my life.My dad consistently averaged 6.5-7 mpg with Cat engines 450-575 hp set up to run at as close to 1300 rpm as possible at highway speed.Cat engines were never known to be mileage getters but he consistently got good mileage with high horse engines by gearing and running them right.
i like to hear all kind of coment about trucking . please i need help how to succeed i am and onwner operator any good suport is very wellcome.thanks
Me and my wife run containers out of port in Sav Ga.We only pull port to yard yard to port. 1.7miles each leg. Pay is not great but with both trucks we net 1,700 to 2,100 per week. The work is super easy and only log 6 to 8 hours a day. Sav port is very well organized and we are in there 45 min to 90 min on the very worst trips. Chassis are pretty easy to get and most of our pulls are paired-up so we may have to swap chassis 4 or 5 times a week.I tell ya, if you live within a hour or so of a port, this seems like the best job you can have. Heck, for 30 to 35 boxes a week each we only use $125 in fuel. Total expenses run about $53/day/truck, that's insurance, workers comp, a small maintenance escrow too. We really like the work. This is the second Co we have worked for down there and we have found a good fit for us.
I am looking to get into trucking as well. I have been reading a lot about it since its better to be prepared than not. But mostly I have seen people talking about not being paid enough and all the crap that comes with it.I have seen a lot of truck owners who make a lot of money. They started with one and not they have many. I don't understand why is everyone sending a msg across that do not get into it? I have had the same feeling from every single website/video I have visited.I want to start off driving for a company for a few months and then buy my own once I get my feet wet. What are some good companies to work for and pay good as well? Also, I don't want to be away from home for too long. I would like to run loads around 600-800 miles each way and then back home. Take a day off and then again hot another 600-800 each way and back home. Is this something realistic and be able to make good money at the same time? More questions to follow once I have these sorted out. Any help shall be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Appreciate the article.......I'm new in the business....recently retired at 46 y/o and wanted to do this in hopes of starting my own authority and building a fleet.......anymore info would be appreciated......God Bless
Iv been driving for 7 years as a company driver I found a company pullin pnuematic trailers which sound promising but incase if all fails which is what I am trying to prepare for any advice on a good website to pull loads from or any good brokers I'm not interested in doing refer loads pref. dry containers I'm not really sure yet please help ? And how do I pick loads...I run hard and work harder this has been a childhood dream every where I read they say stay away good way to go broke ect but I know me and what I could do I just need the right path, anyone willing to point the path ....
What worked for me was finding a carrier that had several divisions to choose from so the option is there to pull a different commodity when things slow down. Get all the endorsements on your cdl. You will be more valuable to the company. Also i found taking advantage of the carrier's fuel and tire network will cost you less for operating. Lastly chrome and chicken lights do not increase the freight rates so be frugal and set a budget for those things if you have to have them. Also i see too many new o/o go under because they lack financial discipline in their personal life. For example when the big truck is running good, the money is good. Now comes the new vehicles and/or toys at home. Remember to be frugal, set a strict budget, do your own repairs within your abilities and be safe.
Hello, everyone..)I have over 30 years in the heavy costruction and trucking industries, am a college graduate, took lots of business courses. It took me 28 years to step into ownership, 10 of those spent saving $ for this step. My Advice? DON'T BUY YOUSELF A JOB. This is a business, do the math. What are your non-business $ obligations? Can I work on my equipement/have the tools, experience, inclination (I do, its one reason for the "delayed" start..) because breakdowns can destroy one? Do I have savings for @ least 6 months of business survival? Because you/we/i are a start-up business (in an extremely competitive/low margin field), just what it takes...lol.Estimate revenue low, expenses high, does it make $? If not, then wait, learn more, save. Because its your/ours/my future...lol Remember? "We all have plenty of people willing to lie to us, success comes from being honest (and realistic..) with ourselves"We will be the worst enemy to ourselves that we will ever have. So, honestly self-evaluate. It'll be the most challenging step one takes, but building a business can also be spiritually rewarding (or it can crush you..lol).Good luck!"luck=planning+preparation+dedication"
My husband has been driving since the 80's . I've been a homemaker the entire time. I agree with all previous comments. My husband has been a owner-operator since 2006 or 07? I would tell everyone don't do it. Not enough loads . It's plenty when you work for company. When you work for yourself it seems the work dries up. Maintenance takes a big chunk out of your paycheck. No more paid vacation or health insurance. My opinion is that you become a slave for the truck. If you are married it may be that your spouse should work. Unless you are working for a big company pulling expensive loads it's not worth it. It's not worth missing time seeing your kids grow up . Just my opinion. I love my husband but I wouldn't want him to do this job all over again. Being a owner operator that is. He can drive truck but I'd rather that be that someone else foots the bill.
I will be honest I started Trucking in 1972 work a few years sell my truck and do something else then I would buy another truck do it again I guess it gets in your blood LOL , I made just as much in 1972 as I do now really made more back then due to the fuel. The DOT is so bad fine you if you look at them wrong . I did make a Little money did not get rich by no means freight is so cheep . If I were to do it again and I might dont get me wrong I would lease to a Oil field company pull a tanker I would not haul freight to cheep.
I started debt free and did not make it..I have my own authority and is no good paying loads available but sometimes is no loads at all.I am working on selling everything .I lost 200,000 dollars and destroyed my credit score.Having your own authority is the worst thing u can do .

Asian inspired matzo ball soup from What Jew Wanna Eat is a twist on this Passover favorite. These matzo balls are made with shitake mushrooms, cilantro and slices of spicy jalapeno. Instead of traditional chicken stock, this broth is seasoned with ginger and balsamic vinegar. Even though the flavors lean towards the Southeast, this dish is still kosher for your Passover Seder.

Another day, another concealer. It's depressing how much money I've spent on failed concealers! Anyway, the click pen applicator is annoying...the fact that you have to twist a million times and then randomly get bursts of product seems silly to me. It goes on smoother than other concealers I've used, but it does still cake up in lines a little. Coverage is VERY light, and lasting power is average at best. VERY expensive, especially for so little product. My hunt for the perfect dark circle concealer continues.

I really love this concealer. It does wonders for dark undereye circles. I own so many concealers. I've went above and beyond just looking for that perfect one. One day, when I went to Sephora, an SA came up to me and asked if I needed help on anything. I told I was looking for a concealer to cover dark circles, but doesn't sink in lines. She said her HG was Givenchy Mister Light. I laughed because at the name...who would name a concealer with the name Mister?? LOL
Anyway, she color-matched me and I'm a Mister Biscuit and I was on LOVE! It concealed, didn't settle into the wrinkles, and stayed on for hours after she applied it. I had to buy it! My only drawback is the clicker pen. I hate it! If I'm going to pay $33 for a concealer I expect a better container. I wish it would've came in a tube because it's more sanitary. I don't even use the brush that came with it b/c it just seems like a bad idea to wash it and have water seep into the concealer pen. So, I just swipe my concealer brush.
********* EDIT (12/30/11)********* I've subtracted the lippies...This product is no longer working for me. It's still a great corrector, BUT the pen really sucks. I hate it! The damn thing exploded on my shirt when I tried to gently twist the pen one day. BE CAREFUL!!! I can't believe I paid so much money for this to only find it exploding massive & wasted product on me. To make it worse, I had to take my shirt to the cleaners and it didn't even remove the stain 100%. Givenchy SERIOUSLY needs to put this in a tube b/c I'm not buying this anymore. What a horrible experience!

Best under-eye concealer I've found. I read about this in an article by former editor of Lucky magazine. When she was editor, she obviously got lots of free products. This was on a list of the 10 products she would still buy with her own money.
Before finding Mister Light, I was like Goldilocks - I could not find an under-eye concealer that was "just right." Some, like Oil of Olay's, were too thin. Some, like Benefits Erase Paste, were too thick. Some didn't go on very easily. This one goes on just right with the built-in brush. The color 02 is a perfect match for me. It seems to last too - I can tell at the end of the day where I put it on, and it's still there.
Drawback is it's pricey, and the applicator means you can't squeeze out every last drop like with some packaging. However, the built-in applicator brush also helps prevent waste, so I suppose that part is a wash. I'm on my second tube and will continue to buy it.

Love this concealer/ Brightener it works wonders as an undereye concealer it truly brightens and is very lightweight it's also textureless and water resistant. So it doesn't crease. And it also triples as a Eye primer for me when i'm in a rush. It works the same as my UDPP if anything better. Though I don't recommend this product to cover very very dark circles and blemishes. It dos'nt contain enough pigment for full coverage. Great highlighter. All in all great product. would repurchase.

I really like this product, but as a poor college student I find the price to be a little too steep. I also don't like that the applicator wastes the product that is leftover and dried in the brush head. Other than that though, this is the best concealer I've ever used. It doesn't settle into the fine lines under the eyes, and really brightens up my eye area. Just wished it was cheaper! If anyone knows a good dupe, please let me know

I have been on the hunt for an under eye concealer that satisfies me. While this is not perfect, it's pretty much the best I have used thus far. I have dark circles under my eyes and this does somewhat of a decent job at covering them. I'm disappointed that it does not brighten up my under eye area though since it is marketed as both a highlighter and concealer. Dior Radiance booster pen did a great job at highlighting, but this conceals a little better. The best part about this product is that it does not sink into fine lines or cake (provided that you apply it right and don't cake it on). I feel like the staying powder is decent, but I'm on the fence about it. Overall, it's a very good product, but I'm still searching for something better. I wear this in Mister Milk.

Yep, this is a wonderful product. I have this in shade #4. Shade #4 is the perfect match for a natural look. I was using Chanel's Eclat Lumiere before in #20 (Beige Clair) and I think I like both. It does not accentuate fine lines and I absolutely love wearing this instead of foundation as it is super smooth and gives you a flawless finish without cakeing in the least or being/looking heavy (based on the fact you don't have blemishes etc.) I do wear a hydrating eye cream however when applying under my eyes and I think it would have been 100% perfect if it were a teeny teeny bit lighter for my under eye area. Will re-purchase.

This is the best for the night, by itself, or in the daytime, over a coverup such as Neutrogena's brightening eye perfector with SPF (see my review). The only drawback is that the Givenchy product has no SPF.
That said, it very effectively covers up dark circles- just make sure to also cover the area just above the corner of the eye- that makes a world of difference.
I picked up shades #3 and #5, because they were out of #4 at Sephora. Shade 3 is quite fair, on the yellow side, but is perfect for me in the winter. Shade 5 is fair-medium, on the yellow side also, and works for spring and fall. Haven't tried shade 6 yet..

This is a great highlighter, but only fair as a concealer unless your discoloration problems are fairly mild. For me, it is great after a good night's rest, but on bad days, it only improves my dark moons moderately.
A big plus is that it doesn't settle into creases and the highlighting effect is subtle but excellent. No sparkles, no washed-out whiteness, no oily-looking sheen: just a fresh, moisturized-looking finish.
Lasting power is mediocre on me, but I've got oily skin and eyes, so no surprise there.

Cryovac to add 31 full-time positions
9 more jobs planned for future growth
The Wichita Falls Sealed Air Cryovac plant is expanding its workforce by 31 full-time positions, according to operations manager Stan Spruiell.
He said the company also is poised to add nine other jobs, bringing the total to 40 jobs over the next year, a 50 percent increase over its existing workforce of 75.
Spruiell said the other nine jobs are through Spherion Staffing Services that will be used as part of Cryovac's "future workforce" as the positions become available.
"Part of the jobs will be manufacturing and the others support for manufacturing. All are full-time jobs," Spruiell said. "People interested in working (at Cryovac) should go to Spherion."
He said the plant is experiencing the growth — additional employees and new equipment — through new markets and its existing customers.
"Our company is in the food-packing industry, and part of the growth we are seeing is in new markets our company is investing in ... and part is existing markets. Both the Iowa Park and Wichita Falls plants are experiencing growth through strategic allocations of volume through our North American network of plants," he said.
Spruiell said the company is adding some $4 million in new equipment this year as part of its strategic planning for growth.
Tim Chase, president and CEO of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce & Industry, said the city went to Cryovac's corporate leadership, offering incentives for the creation of new jobs.
He said it is "strictly a cash-for-jobs incentive," $8,000 for each job created at the Wichita Falls plant, in 4A board funds. Chase said the pay range for the positions is above $18 per hour.
"If the jobs are created and in place for six months, they (Cryovac) can go to the 4A board for the cash-for-jobs incentive," he said. "That (jobs creation) is above and beyond what they would normally do. It was an incentive to corporate to get them to add capacity here.
"This (incentive) was done to send a message to the corporate leadership in Duncan, S.C. The message was, 'As your business grows and decisions are made about where in the country to add capacity, the city of Wichita Falls will offer incentives if the decision is to add jobs at their I-44 facility or in Iowa Park.'"
The amount of the cash-for-jobs incentives that have been approved for the company is $272,000, Chase said.
Sealed Air's website said the company has some 26,000 employees with operations in 69 countries, with distribution reaching 175 countries. It has 138 manufacturing facilities and more than 4,400 trademarks. The website is www.sealedair.com.

Tennis highlights of 2012
The only thing harder to do than win a Grand Slam final over five sets and six hours is write an end-of-season review which covers everything and pleases everyone, so I won't even try.
The memory is going anyway (as you would expect from someone who turned 40 during the season) but more significantly, the sheer quantity of memorable moments from a scarcely believable 2012 makes any selection impossible.
Instead, here are some recollections of the images which have stayed with me from the season just gone. The shots, scenes, snapshots and flashbacks which have set down roots in that more-than-middle-aged memory bank.
I'm not saying these are the best moments of 2012, it's just a random selection of stuff to illustrate what an amazing privilege it has been to be on the tour for the past 12 months. And while we're at it, thanks for all your comments and criticisms over the year. This is always one of the liveliest debates on BBC Sport and it's thanks to you.
In the festive season we love one-hit-wonders, especially when their big hit was as entertaining as Lukas Rosol's. The big-hitting Czech won fewer than 10 matches on the main tour after Wimbledon, but what a star he was that night on Centre Court in the summer.
In the fifth set against Rafael Nadal, Rosol tore into the Spaniard with a ferocious, all-out attack rarely seen from the jobbing pros against the superstars.
Serving out the match with three aces and a forehand winner meant he hit only five shots to win the game, seal the match and, although few suspected it at the time, end Nadal's season. Come see us again sometime, Lukas.
Nadal, who won a record-breaking seventh French Open back in June, was also on the receiving end at the start of the year in Melbourne.
Novak Djokovic, having come through an almost five-hour semi-final with Andy Murray two nights previously, was into the sixth hour of his final with the Spaniard. The first point of the ninth game, won by Nadal, lasted 31 shots and, afflicted by sheer exhaustion, Djokovic fell to the ground, surely beaten. One blow too many, it seemed.
However, sport's ultimate comeback move is the recovery from a knockdown. It's the clash of the literal and the metaphorical as someone picks himself up from the floor to win.
Jonathan Overend
"Serena is the player of the year for me"
Djokovic, ever the showman, did just that and it was extraordinary. 11 hours of victorious tennis against Murray and Nadal over a 54-hour period? Arguably the greatest achievement of the year.
Or does that go to Maria Sharapova for completing the career Grand Slam at Roland Garros, the Grand Slam few expected her to ever win, or to Serena Williams for her amazing summer triple crown of Wimbledon, the Olympics and the US Open?
Serena is the player of the year for me. Untouchable for the second half of the year, she claimed the WTA Championships in Istanbul to complete a 31st victory from 32 matches.
My main memory is from the Olympic Games when her two main rivals during the season, Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, were pulverised in the final two rounds for the collective loss of three games. Surely the most devastating title surge of the year.
While we're on the Olympics, I loved Julien Benneteau's reaction to winning (inconsequential?) bronze in the men's doubles with Richard Gasquet. His joyous celebration encapsulated the passion and privilege of winning at the Olympic Games. Tsonga-Raonic was epic and and Federer-Del Potro simply brilliant. That bonus week of Wimbledon-Not-Wimbledon served up some of the finest play of the year.
Raonic will again be one to watch for 2013 while, on the women's side, how refreshing to hear the world talking about two British newcomers. Laura Robson and Heather Watson, after their international breakthrough years, will surely only improve next season.
Robson's back-to-back defeats of Kim Clijsters and Li Na was a clear illustration of her improvement and further potential while Watson's Japan Open title was a first for a British woman on the singles tour in 24 years. Stay fit, ladies, and 2013 will hold great things!
And so the talk of British success leads us - with an honourable mention to Jonny Marray for his amazing an unexpected, yet fully deserved, Wimbledon doubles title with Freddie Nielsen - to that hazy, hedonistic September night in New York City.
On the night we thought we'd never witness, the night 76-year references were wiped away, the night one man's lifelong dream came to fruition, the image which sticks with me is the scene as Andy Murray moved to Championship point, 40-0, in the US Open final.
Serving for a first Grand Slam championship, 5-2 in the fifth set, reality finally dawned on everyone watching inside the cavernous Arthur Ashe stadium. I can safely say - and I won't be alone - that was the first time I truly believed he was going to do it. Not because I doubted him, but because I feared Djokovic even from a double break down.
At that moment, as we conveyed the drama back to people's bedroom radios at 0155 GMT in the UK, spectators rose up onto their feet in a ripple effect through the tiers. We're in the back row of the stadium at Flushing Meadows and the sight before us was truly spine-tingling.
Despite the triple glazing, we could hear the noise vibrating through and I remember saying "they may as well stay standing". Much to my amazement, they did. Djokovic saved the first match point but fans, sensing the history, were still on their feet as he struck his return long on the second.
The ultimate image from a year to savour was big, brash America rising to acknowledge not their anthem, nor their President, but a shy kid from a small town in Scotland winning their famous old United States Tennis Championship. What an effort it was, what memories he has given us. If 2013 is half as good we'll be fortunate.
Happy New Year!

Great memories of the year, and I largely agree. But no mention of Federer, Mr Overend? Very, very typical of your writing.
Murray's break-out summer the undoubted highlight of the men's tour, though (as unwelcome personally as it was refreshing for the tour as a whole). Also, an honourable mention for Ferrer, and Janowicz!
Come back soon, Nadal. You were dearly missed after Wimbledon.

VAMOS - poor poor lame excuse. Just like your hero - "the anti-hero of tennis" - making up lame excuses for poor performance rather than praising and congratulating the opponent. Blue clay courts spring to mind here. Rafa is just pathetic. Was once esteemed as a warrior but he has now been exposed as a wimp! Injury or not. Tummy ache or not. Rafa is a pathetic excuse for a wimp!

Nadal is 'anti-tennis'... Has spent his career looping the ball to players backhands. It's no coincidence that matches from Djokovic, Federer and Murray are greater highlights as the standard of tennis is more attacking and exciting. Nadals injury has seen new standards of tennis reached, with the undoubted pinnacle the quality of the ATP Tour Final between Djoko and Federer
Comment number 52. Posted by HT-Hotspuron 6 Jan 2013 16:40
Best highlights for me:
1) Andy Murray beating Novak Djokovic in The Us Open Final.
2) Lukas Rosol destroying Rafael Nadal's career!

Andy Murray is doing justice to his enormous talent. 2012 has been a wonderful year for British tennis and fans. Wishing Murray and his tennis fraternity exciting moments in the New Year.

#45 It is possible for someone to improve gradually throughout their career and become better than their peers.I think it is fair to say that Murray has always been an excellent player,but did seem to suffer with a lack of killer instinct or self belief playing the 3 your referring to in a slam event,but not on the tour! I think he's burst that bubble now and could move above them,with hard work
Comment number 47. Posted by The_Playmakeron 6 Jan 2013 01:08
#46 cont.... I can recall the journalist that was onto Lance Armstrong for years (David Walsh I think) making a similar comment. I've always been suspicious of sports people who have expended outragous amounts of energy for a prolonged period with little obvious effect on them physically! If I had to put my life on one sportsman that was definately clean, I would probably pick him!
Comment number 46. Posted by The_Playmakeron 6 Jan 2013 00:58
Undountably for me it was Murray winning Gold and then a Grand Slam!
I did have my doubts about him being able to close out those tight matches, but he has proved me and any other doubters wrong. Brilliant.
The physical effort he must put in in training is definately starting to impact his match play. And the fact that it looks like he can't walk at the end of a final is reassuring.......tbc
Comment number 45. Posted by VAMOSon 5 Jan 2013 23:46
44) that's the thing, when I say he is 4th best, or that he benefited from the conditions or situation, that's not slating anyone, that's voicing an opinion. You are the only one that has resulted to insults. Haha you might be a wizard with spell check but what you type is complete nonsense.
Comment number 44. Posted by jerusalem9769on 5 Jan 2013 22:13
@Vamos judging by the responses on here, the speaking to punch ratio would be considerably higher in your case. I have to say reading your posts is certain indicative of someone suffering from a brain injury.
Oh and believe me nothing is more pathetic than lurking on BBC forums slating individuals that are world class while you have amounted to precisely nothing in your sad little life. Fool.
Comment number 43. Posted by VAMOSon 5 Jan 2013 20:45
35) I'm not slating him, he is 4th best player with everyone fit, that's a fact that has been shown in the rankings for years.
Not rating his achievement in the scheme of 2012 is not trolling, it's just some people on here can't take a debate.
Comment number 42. Posted by meninwhitecoatson 5 Jan 2013 20:36
Looking forward Murray should be good for another slam, though I would guess Djokovic will dominate but I would not bet against the Fed nicking another against the odds. As for Nadal tennis is poorer without him but it is hard to see him lasting the punishing ATP schedule - he needs to forget the rankings and concentrate on the slams.
Comment number 41. Posted by VAMOSon 5 Jan 2013 20:25
29) hahaha not as excited as you are, trolling the internet forums correcting people's spelling. Nothing more pathetic than someone reading every post, waiting for an error to but in. I can imagine in the real world you get punched a lot. Loser.
Don't worry about Rafa, last time he came back from injury he won 3 slams in one year. He will win the French without trying.
Comment number 40. Posted by meninwhitecoatson 5 Jan 2013 20:24
Firstly the outstanding player of the year must surely be Serena Williams - a simply amazing athlete and no one could possibly accuse her of being boring.
For the purists the ATP final between Djokovic & Federer would take some beating for quality of play - the final shot of the match was breathtaking and both players played like gods at times.
Comment number 39. Posted by Theclansmanon 5 Jan 2013 20:19
I think you mean a great your form British tennis. You forget the only time Scottish tennis comes into play in the era is when Murray loses (oops!)
Comment number 38. Posted by Stephenon 5 Jan 2013 19:20
I love that NY Open commentary. We were going to go to bed assuming another defeat but decided to stay up mainly because he had won the Olympics and something was just different about him this year, surely down a lot to his new coach. What a roller coaster but how deserved was that? We all assumed he would roll over in the final set but the opposite happened. 2013 will be very interesting

A great year for Scottish tennis...British tennis had a not bad year also!

BMW R1150RT Brake Rant
[rant]I'm pissed at BMW. I've got some issues with my RT that bmwscruz is doing an adequate job of addressing. But I'm pissed at BMW because of their stance on the RT brake issue. They redesigned the rear ABS modulator and cut it into new production some time back. But this doesn't piss me off. What pisses me off is that a particular individual over at mrn posted the TSB about the RT brakes, and BMWNA is coming down hard on him. I can't fucking believe it. They issued a recall for the 1150GS brakeline potentially rubbing on the speedo cable, but not a single word publicly about how the integral ABS senses rear wheel lock-up and releases the front wheel, causing some massive ass-puckering. I've experienced this time and time again, and have grown used to taking it easy in the downhill bumpy stuff, but I don't want to anymore. These are the best brakes in the world and should work as advertised. Too, what I've found is only the most aggressive RT riders complain about this. Average riders only see the massive stopping power in the brakes, but don't take them to the limit necessary to override the design. I wish I could be like that.
Shit...now the blue and white roundel helicopters are going to start watching me.
Can you believe my friend actually got a "cease and desist" letter
from BMWNA to take the image of the RT brake TSB off his website?
:pissed :boid
Re: BMW Rant
I too was shocked too here
I too was very shocked too here that my fellow BMW RT owners in the Good OLD US of A can not get the same level of service as myself over this brake issue.
The UPDATED brake modulator that Fish and others have read about in the that BWM realesed TSB...FIXED my brake issue.
To read that some one hass been singled out about this for making other's a where of a potential safty issue .....is nothing short of insanity
BMW get off your lazy ASS and fix IT NOW!!!!!!!!:mad?:mad?
I'm a pussy rider, and my commute to and from work has a half dozen places where the brakes act as you describe. Takes nothing more than the usual "agressive" in traffic stop and a couple Chitown expansion joints.
As far as your friend getting fucked by BMW, perhaps a note to the press? MCN seems pretty up on publishing this type of stuff.
BMW sucks. But the build one nice bike...right? :):
maybe a class action suit on the ABS would get their attention :dunno
how about a little guerilla tactic? take the info, with pics, set it up with simple HTML tags and hand it out to anyone interested. Between all the free sites, my own site, various site I am affiliated with...I bet I could have a dozen copies up in an hour. multiply that by say a thousand users....
and are thsoe actual BMW amnufactired brakes? or some brembo item?
I thought for sure there was a thread on the Integral ABS technical service bulletin, but I just cannot find it. Any ideas?
if anybody has a copy of the BMW Service Bulletin 34 001 02 (012) concerning the brakes, please send me a copy. I may need it for future reference.
try these
What about getting the NHTSA involved? Anybody know if Arch or anyone else has complained to these guys? My concern is that during a collision-avoidance panic stop, a little bump in the road will cause BOTH brakes to cycle the ABS. I've had this happen once or twice. Mostly I don't ride aggressive enough to make the ABS engage. What are the ramifcations of posting a complaint to the FEDs?
Here's the site that I found:
The NHTSA is probably the best bet. If every person who had issues with this filed, it would get *someones* attention.

Respond to Review of Carnevale
by Babai
Review: It's a very nice place for a couple, a romantic dinner or some quite chat with friends; there are very few tables (I ate there in January) and also very close one to the other, which I don't like too much. The food was good although not particularly creative, portions not exactly generous. The French waiter was very nice and helpful for us vegans. The prices were probably right for London, but too high in my opionin relatively to food. Absolutely worth a second try for the overall experience / atmosphere.

Originally written on Sox and Dawgs | Last updated 10/1/12
The Big East Conference announced the game time and television assignment for the UConn Huskies home game against the Temple Owls on Saturday, October 13. The kickoff at Rentschler Field will be at 1 p.m. and the game will be available only online at ESPN3.com. That's right folks, if you want to watch the game you have to hope that your cable or internet provider is one of the ones that allows you access to ESPN3. This marks the second game the Huskies have had to play on ESPN3. The first was the loss to Western Michigan. I can tell you this much. If I don't end up going to the game, I'll be watching the game on my iPhone 4S WatchESPN App. The video online the last time was so choppy and laggy at times that I gave up and watched on my phone where I had no problems at all. Of course, since there's plenty of tickets available, you could also head to the game at the Rent. Follow Ian on Twitter @soxanddawgs. And be sure to like us on Facebook as well.

Pink Grapefruit & Avocado Salad
From EatingWell: January/February 2012
This is a special-occasion salad that pairs grapefruit segments with creamy avocado, pungent red onion, crunchy pomegranate seeds and aromatic, herby basil. Look for grapefruit with firm, shiny skin that are heavy for their size, which means they will have lots of juice. Store grapefruit for 1 week at room temperature or 1 month in the refrigerator.
Makes: 4 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Low calorie | High fiber | Low saturated fat | Low cholesterol | Low sodium | High potassium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | Diabetes appropriate | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1/2 cup halved and very thinly sliced red onion
- 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3 small red or pink grapefruit
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (see Tips)
- 4 large fresh basil leaves
- 8 small leaves Boston lettuce
- Place onion in a small bowl of cold water to soak. Set aside.
- Finely grate 1 teaspoon zest (see Tips) and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon. Whisk the zest and juice, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Peel grapefruit with a sharp knife, removing all peel and white pith. Working over the large bowl, cut the segments from the surrounding membranes and let them drop into the bowl. Squeeze the peels and membranes over the bowl to extract all the juice before discarding them. Halve, peel and pit avocado. Cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices in half. Gently stir the avocado and pomegranate seeds into the grapefruit mixture.
- Finely slice basil and drain the onion; gently stir into the grapefruit mixture. Arrange lettuce leaves on 4 salad plates, top with the grapefruit mixture and serve immediately.
Tips & Notes
- Fill a large bowl with water. Lightly score the fruit into quarters from crown to stem end, cutting through the skin but not into the interior. Hold it under water and break it apart. Use your hands to separate the seeds (arils) from the outer skin and white pith. The seeds will drop to the bottom of the bowl and the pith will float to the surface. Discard the pith. Drain the seeds in a colander.
- When we call for citrus zest (i.e., 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest) we are referring to the finely grated outer rind (not including the white pith) of the citrus fruit. Use a microplane grater or the smallest holes of a box grater to grate the zest. In some cases we call for long strips or threads of zest. To get long strips, peel the citrus with a vegetable peeler. To remove long threads, use a 5-hole citrus zester or remove long strips of zest with a vegetable peeler, then use a knife to cut into very thin strips.

John Lackey allowed two hits in seven innings, Mike Carp hit a three-run homer and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 8-1 on a rainy Friday night. It was the second straight strong performance by Lackey, who missed all last season following Tommy John elbow surgery. Last Sunday he gave up one hit and one unearned run in six innings of a 5-1 win at Minnesota. He left that game after a three-hour rain delay. After a 44-minute delay before Friday's game, Lackey (3-4) struck out eight, walked three and gave up an unearned run while pitching through a steady rain. He allowed only two of the 25 batters he faced to hit the ball out of the infield.
