Can your pet read minds? Try the psychic pet test!
As far back as the Ancient Sumerians, animals have successfully predicted everything from battle victors to changes in the weather.
I think I posses a little ESP. Take for example the time I was sitting on the south lawn envisioning a plump, friendly, little squirrel, scampering to and fro in front of me. Within about 5 minutes there he was, Tooturm, my best (middle-class) squirrel buddy ever, chattering like a monkey about losing most of his nuts to taxes if Pop isn't re-elected!
Paul- psychic octopus, who correctly predicted Spain's World Cup victory
Jim the Wonder Dog - predicted 7 Kentucky Derby winners and a World Series
Oscar the Death Cat - correctly predicted the deaths of 25 nursing home patients
Punxsutawney Phil - the groundhog who (every February 2nd), predicts when winter will come to an end
The imagined walk (or food) test
Dog - when your dog is sound asleep, and you have a friend stationed near him, take his leash into another room and imagine the two of you on an incredibly joyous walk. Imagine everything you would see, smell and hear on this walk and repeat over and over in your mind, "Walk, walk, walk!" After a few minutes, have your friend gently wake your dog.
If your dog comes running to where you are there is a strong possibility that he or she can read your mind!
Cat - same exercise but replace the leash with her food bowl. Now imagine filling the bowl with tuna while experiencing the texture, taste and smell of this irresistible delicacy and focus on the word, "Tuna, tuna, tuna!"
If your cat comes to you, it's highly likely he or she picked-up on your telepathic tunalicious wave lengths!

The Movie Review
Is 'Dracula Untold' An Islamophobic Movie?
October 24, 2014
If it's not a larger-than-life action flick where America is saving the world from aliens, chances are Hollywood will get it all wrong.
The Movie Review: 'The Damned United'
October 23, 2009
Brian Clough is a legend among English soccer managers. He was the youngest coach in the league when, at 30, he took over Hartlepools United in 1965. In the early 1970s, he lifted a mediocre Derby County team from the Second Division to champion of the First, playing in a European Cup semifinal along the way. And in the late 1970s, he took an obscure Nottingham Forest squad all the way to back-to-back European Cup trophies, a feat considered one of the greatest in the history of the sport.
The Movie Review: 'Where the Wild Things Are'
October 16, 2009
Near the end of Maurice Sendak's classic Where the Wild Things Are, as young protagonist Max is abandoning the fantastical creatures who have crowned him their king, the Wild Things plead, "Oh please don't go--we'll eat you up--we love you so." The line neatly captures one of the central insights of Sendak's slim masterwork: the close proximity in the preadolescent mind between affection and aggression, between the loving and the eating. Spike Jonze's film adaptation, which he co-wrote with Dave Eggers, expands Sendak's tale considerably, but rather than lose track of this insight, the movie
The Movie Review: 'A Serious Man'
October 09, 2009
The wittiest scene in Joel and Ethan Coen's 2001 film The Man Who Wasn't There is one in which a fast-talking defense attorney, Freddy Riedenschneider (marvelously played by Tony Shalhoub), invokes Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as grounds for a not-guilty verdict in a murder case: We can't know what really happened.… Because the more you look, the less you know. But the beauty of it is, we don't gotta know! We just gotta show that, goddamnit, they don't know. Reasonable doubt. Science. The atom. You explain it to me.
The Movie Review: 'Zombieland'
October 02, 2009
Zombieland, the second horror-comedy to be released in the last couple of weeks (in this case, horror-action-comedy is probably a more apt description),is everything Jennifer's Body was not--fast, funny, and fully aware of the obligations and opportunities inherent in the genre.
The Movie Review: 'Fame'
September 25, 2009
Way back in 1980, when the Oscar-winning theme song of the movie Fame declared "I'm gonna live forever," it was easy to believe the lyric was an example of artistic license. Now, it's not so clear. With almost Biblical tenacity, the film begat a television series which begat a stage musical which begat a reality show. When that last iteration was cancelled after a single season in 2003, it was possible to imagine that the longest 15 minutes in show business history had finally ticked to a close.
The Movie Review: 'The Informant!'
September 18, 2009
So this is what Matt Damon has been keeping bottled up during all those taciturn hours playing Jason Bourne. In Steven Soderbergh's The Informant!, Damon plays--and plays very, very well--a character in every way the opposite of his efficient, amnesiac superspy: a babbling bumbler who goes undercover for the FBI to gather information against his own employer but winds up exposing mostly himself.
The Movie Review: 'Jennifer's Body'
September 18, 2009
"Hell is a teenage girl," Jennifer's Body announces in its opening moments. But the film's thesis is really more particular: Hell is a teenage girl who has been unsuccessfully sacrificed to Satan by an alt-rock band and, as a result, finds that she has become a flesh-eating demon. It's a difficult case to contest. After a brief prologue that finds the movie's good-girl protagonist, Needy Lesnicky (Amanda Seyfried), kicking ass and taking names in a penitentiary somewhere, the movie rewinds to explain how she arrived at this unhappy juncture.
The Movie Review: 'Inglourious Basterds'
August 21, 2009
There is a moment in the first scene of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds that is not what it appears to be. A Nazi colonel named Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) is interviewing a French farmer (Denis Menochet) he believes to be sheltering Jews. Landa is conducting the inquiry in more than passable French (yes, with subtitles and everything), when he pauses. He's come to the limits of his francais, he claims. Does the farmer speak English and, if so, might they continue in that tongue?
The Movie Review: 'Public Enemies'
July 02, 2009
It's taken countless hours of TV crime-drama ("Crime Story," "Miami Vice") and nearly a dozen feature films (Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice again), but in John Dillinger, Michael Mann may finally have found an ideal vessel for his particular vision of masculine cool: stylish, charismatic, unflappable, adept at violence but not hungry for it. After spending nine years in prison for his rookie robbery (a grocery-store heist that allegedly netted him $50), Dillinger emerged in May 1933 to launch perhaps the most storied crime spree in American history.

Start rooting for your favorite bad movie of 2010, because the Golden Raspberry Award (aka Razzie) nominations will be announced January 24th. A shortlist of possible Worst Picture nominees has just been released, and according to the Los Angeles Times Awards Tracker blog, the 12 finalists include 'Little Fockers,' 'Sex and the City 2,' 'The Expendables,' 'Grown Ups,' 'Clash of the Titans,' 'Killers,' 'The Bounty Hunter,' 'Yogi Bear,' 'Jonah Hex,' 'The Last Airbender,' 'Vampires Suck,' and 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'
Compare this crop with Cinematical's own choices for the worst of 2010 and it looks like they've left out the rom-coms 'The Back-Up Plan,' 'Valentine's Day,' 'Leap Year' and 'When in Rome,' as well as horror remakes 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'The Wolfman,' though these could end up nominated for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. Meanwhile, Kevin Smith may have dodged a bullet, unless the Razzies name his 'Cop Out' leads as the Worst Screen Couple.
You may be surprised to see that 'Burlesque' did not make the cut. Often compared to the campy 'Showgirls,' one of the most infamous Razzie-winners, 'Burlesque' is at least shortlisted for six other categories, including potential acting (dis)honors for Cher, Christina Aguilera, Cam Gigandet and Kristen Bell. Other possible names to be nominated include Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Emily Blunt, George Lopez and Angelina Jolie, who ironically could be nominated for 'The Tourist,' in spite of her Golden Globe nomination for the same role.
The Razzies are introducing a much-needed new category this year for Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3-D. Look for 'Piranha 3-D,' 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' and 'The Nutcracker in 3-D' as likely nominees. But will terribly converted titles like 'Clash of the Titans' and 'The Last Airbender' be eligible?
What do you think deserves to be nominated?

Letter from imprisoned member of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, Panagiotis Argirou (Greece)
Sunday, June 16th, 2013
As has been known, in the first days of January 2013, I suffered a serious head injury after an accident. What followed were two successive head surgeries and a three-month stay in various hospitals. Of course, for some time now, I have escaped danger and I'm on the mend, awaiting a final restoration surgery on the skull. Now I am back among my comrades and my brothers and sister of the CCF, which in itself makes me feel better.
I gradually get some insight into the interest expressed during my hospitalization, and I feel the need to thank all those who stood by me in various different ways, from donating blood (which was much needed), to fundraising for covering medical expenses.
I have a special place in my heart, however, for the comrades of the International Conspiracy for Revenge-FAI/IRF who burned a private vehicle in Indonesia, and for the compas of the Insurrectionary Anti-authoritarian Cell-FAI/FRI who targeted with incendiary devices the building of Chile's national association of penitentiary functionaries and previously attacked facilities belonging to the Chilean Gendarmerie, because of the great honour they have done me by giving my name in the direct action cells that claimed responsibility for these anarchist attacks against domination. Brothers and sisters, you should know you're in my thoughts and that these actions have moved me deeply. May the fire of Insurgence and Anarchy always keep your hearts warm, and your hands armed against the enemies of freedom.
Finally, I would like to thank all those direct action groups in Greece and abroad who were interested in my condition and wished me a good recovery.
I am happy to see that all this time the project of FAI/IRF remains dynamic and active. I'd like to hope that, in the future, its intensity will grow enormously, and its diffusion will cause fear among the rulers globally.

Santiago: Communique for the incendiary attack against the National Association of Prison Guards ($hile)
Tuesday, May 28th, 2013
Who believed that May would pass without direct action?
With fire we responded again.
Recalling the warrior Mauricio Morales and showing solidarity with the comrades imprisoned in Temuco, we set fire to the entrance of the National Association of Prison Guards, located at Santa Monica steps in downtown Cumming Street of the city of Santiago, on Sunday May 12. With this we add a new action to those which have already been claimed by other groups in "alternative medias" but silenced by the "official release".
We said in our previous attack on a property of Gendarmerie of Chile in January this year, we will not let the torturers be tranquil in their dens. The criticism of the authoritarian system and prison facilities cannot be separated from the direct attack on those who try to break the will of our rebel imprisoned comrades. Prison guards have decided voluntarily to live as enemies of freedom and are active contributors to domination, in exchange for shares of power that materialize in confinement and to humiliate our prisoners and their families.
In April, the anti-authoritarian comrade Ariadna Torres was punished in the Women's Prison of Temuco for insulting a judge and the jailers who seized a letter from the companion to the outside.
We sent a copy of this email again to the jailers of Chile so that they know that our anarchist comrades, anti-authoritarians and revolutionary prisoners in Chile are not for the authorities little games, and for every attack the answer will come back with fire, explosions and shrapnel.
We ask comrades of action why there has been a decline in violent activity against the enemy? One thing is the excitement of the street-fighting, but in May there has been fewer direct attacks and planned bombings, arson and sabotage against the wealthy, and also their system of misery. That the anti-authoritarian attacks are sustained over time and not by a police story, depends on us. That the option for revolutionary violence and its connection with the anti-authoritarian struggle (and its various forms of being implemented) be not just a youth fashion, depends on us. Boosting and multiplying the direct actions in quantity and quality depends only on our will.
In May, we remember those comrades murdered by the State in Chicago in 1886; to Daniel Menco, young man killed in 1999; to young Rodrigo Cisternas, worker killed by police in Chile in 2007 after being crushed by a police vehicle with a backhoe; to the compa Henry prisoner since May of last year in Bolivia [currently on house arrest]; and Nicola Gai and Alfredo Cospito, prisoners in Italy, imprisoned for a year accused of the shot to the leg of a boss of a scientific nuclear company.
Regards to the clandestine comrades and prisoners worldwide.

Athens: Incendiary attack against Swift Mail (Greece)
Sunday, March 17th, 2013
On Sunday, 10th March an anarchist guerilla group placed an incendiary device at the entrance of the offices of Swift Mail express courier's company in Pagrati, Athens. This is the shop where the company's owner wife Reklitou Fotini works. Based on her detailed statement in 2010, the cops were able to mobilize their forces and arrest the comrades of CCF, who on that day sent a mail bomb to the embassy of Mexico using Swift Mail.
The anarcho-nihilist guerilla group "Untouched Revenge Cell, FAI-IRF" claimed responsibility for the act by publishing a communiqué. The comrades dedicated the attack to the imprisoned anarchist guerillas in Greece, Italy, Russia, Holland, Mexico, Indonesia and Belarus.

On Monday, March 11th, anarchist comrade and Conspiracy of Cells of Fire member Panagiotis Argirou was transferred from the general hospital of Nikaia back to Koridallos prison's hospital. His transfer was made after the state of his health was much improved.
Panagiotis has now fully recovered from his serious injury and talked with his comrades on the phone. He will remain in the hospital of Koridallos prison until several mobility problems are restored, that were caused due to his two-month hospitalization and the length of time he was under sedative medication. For now, he is recovering and 'shares' the same cell with his friend Spyros Dravilas, who is also recovering there after his successful hunger strike.
We know we haven't provided updates on the health condition of Panagiotis for a long time, but this was not done by chance: each time we released positive news on the comrade's health, the anti-terrorist force and the external armed guards that had undertaken his custody pressured the hospital staff to permit Panagiotis' immediate transfer to the prison for 'security reasons' (his file bore the indication 'Dangerous to escape').
A big thank you to all the comrades and friends who were interested in Panagiotis, who sent letters, donated blood, and supported the R.O. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire. Finally, a flaming hug to the brothers and sisters of the Argirou Cell/International Conspiracy for Revenge/FRI-FAI from Indonesia, as well as the Panagiotis Argirou insurrectionary anti-authoritarian cell/FAI-FRI from Chile, who made solidarity among anarchists praxis through their incendiary attacks.

Athens: Update concerning the health of comrade-member of the CCF Panagiotis Argirou (Greece)
Friday, February 1st, 2013
by actforfreedom:
30.1.13 The comrade has shown slow but steady signs of improvement. He remains in the intensive care unit but for now a limited written communication with him is possible. The hospital infection of his respiratory system can be dealt with and does not especially worry the doctors. There will be more updates for anything new.

Toronto action in solidarity with Villa Amalias and LK37 (Canada)
Saturday, January 19th, 2013
325 receives and transmits:
In the early hours of the morning we struck another small blow against the mechanisms of capital. The street level of one of the many new condo developments under construction in the city, containing building supplies as well as the architectural plans for the building, was smashed and then set ablaze as a small gesture of our rage. Our anger is directed both towards the continuing, and celebrated, gentrification within the city, and the ongoing imprisonment of anarchist comrades around the world.
Gentrification is the celebrated death of community in slow motion. The encroachment of high priced individualized living spaces into a community forces out people to whom boutique living is unaffordable, splitting up life long friendships and personal relations. With this come the chain store vultures picking apart the carcasses of local, independent stores as well as the inevitable "cleansing" of the area, removing any unwanted signs of life or suffering. The aspirational advertisements which accompany these developments hide the secret that instead of a lifestyle change or upgrade, what is being sold is an isolative and vacuous box with the trappings and veneer of luxury, as well as one's very own role in the destruction of a pre-existing community.
With one change of our clothes we disappeared into the night undetected. This is not an attempt at a gloat or a glorification, but an attempt to show how easily these acts can be replicated elsewhere. Let's make their lives as difficult as they try to make ours. This is an escalation in regards to our tactics, but we realize these acts are still of small scale in relation to actions of comrades across the world.
With this, we also recognize the need to intensify our attacks against the state and capital in North America in relation to the intensity of repression and attacks against the anarchist and anti-authoritarian community. With every wave of repression must follow a targeted, critiqued, and increasingly militaristic response.
This is an act of solidarity with the people of the Villa Amalias and Lelas Karagianni 37 squats in Athens who have had their homes raided by the brutal, fascist Greek police. We chose to target new housing developments, catering to the bourgeois of the city, as they lie in direct contrast to the vibrance, community and solidarity seen in squats across the world. Another stark difference is the economically exclusionary nature of private property. We are not fighting for "affordable housing" or "income-based housing", we are fighting for housing for every human being, regardless of economic status.
We also send an embrace warmed with love and rage to Panagiotis Argirou. Strength comrade, so you may continue this fight.
For the negation of every oppression this society is complicit in.
Until the last prison walls crumble…
The Toronto Solidarity Cell.

Update about injured comrade Panagiotis Argirou and a CCF case (Greece)
Thursday, January 17th, 2013
On 15th January the doctors stopped giving to Panagiotis Argirou anesthetic medicines that kept him sedated. His communication is not full yet but the first reactions he had are quite encouraging about the procedure of his health.
The two people that were recently arrested for participation in CCF were not imprisoned because there was nothing to charge them for, but they probably will go on trial with the charges of participation in CCF and possession of guns.

Tomohon: Vehicle arson by Argirou Cell / ICR – FRI – FAI (Indonesia)
Friday, January 11th, 2013
325 receives and transmits:
Last night [10/1/13], we did it once again. Direct action based on our revolutionary values, as nihilists, as individualists and as an expression of the hatred of this society. Covered by the night, we burned a private car in Tomohon (small city in North Sulawesi), owned by an unknown person. It was a car located near the local TV station in that town. A car as a symbol of slavery, eco-disaster and the meaninglessness of life.
We believe, through direct action each revolutionary can speak, even separated by continents and nation-state borders. We believe that revolutionary actions speak loud and reach our sisters and brothers in the Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front.
We dedicate our action to our brother in arms, Panagiotis Argirou, –revolutionary and proud member of Conspiracy of Cells of Fire– who fell down and has to face surgery. When we heard this news, it hurt our heart. We burned a car to send our warmest revolutionary greetings to you, comrade. To let our enemies know that no revolutionary will be left alone. Strength brother! Fire of health for you.
To other members of Conspiracy of Cells of Fire and revolutionary anarchist, T. Mavropoulos: all of you are never alone. Our actions are also your revenge.
Not to forget to mention our brothers in Italy who are kidnapped by the state and are seized behind bars. To Alfredo Cospito and Nicola Gai. Our hearts always with both of you.
We also want to send our revolutionary greetings to Villa Amalias and all the free spaces that are invaded by our enemies. To all squatters who are kidnapped by pigs of the state. Your bravery inspires us to keep our heads up. 'Fire' is how we spell solidarity.
And to all anarchist prisoners: to Ivan and Carla, Freddy, Marcelo and Juan, in Chile, to Henry in Bolivia, to John Bowden, to Gabriel Pombo da Silva, to Marco Camenisch, and others around the world. This fire is a metaphor of hugs from us full of respect, solidarity and anger against Power.

Updates on the trial of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire in Athens (Greece)
Friday, January 4th, 2013
Translated by Act for freedom now/boubourAs
Update on the trial of the C.C.F.
Sessions 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 , 14, and 15 , 2012
In these sessions most lawyers completed their speeches concerning the objections but also the proposition made by the prosecutor during the 12th session.
On 3/12 /12 (session 11) one of the comrades of the Conspiracy made a statement after the speech of one of the appointed lawyers and said the following:
"I want to clarify some things. First of all, I very carefully heard the speech of the advocate and despite that we come from two different spaces, as he said, since we have chosen the path of anarchist illegal insurrection and he has chosen the path of legality, I really appreciate some things which he said and I really see that he worked a lot on approaching the core of the thought of our organization, the CCF. And in many thing he said, although I am no legal expert and not only that, but I demean the laws, I recognize the approach he made and I have no disagreement concerning that. But, I want to make a clarification for some things that remain. I want to clarify something in the name of our organization, the CCF, because something was said in relation to the R.O 17 November organization. It is not a reproach to the advocate. Besides, he clarified that what he said is his own personal opinion, perception, idea.
But because nothing should remain unanswered, flawed and meteor in this procedure, we must stress the following.
With the R.O. 17N -and I stress the words, because it was a Revolutionary Organization- we clearly have some differences concerning our perceptive field or our ideas in some individual matters, but these matters do not concern the court, neither are they matters for a juridical room. With these people who took the political responsibility and remain unrepentant -because there are unrepentant 17N members- connects us a friendship and comradeship. Therefore, we will clarify that the CCF, although coming from the anarchist urban guerrilla and has no connection with the Marxist structures, despite all this sees, and feels immediate affinity with comrades such as those of the 17N. And I want to stress something else, because a reference to homicide was heard. I think homicide, not concerning its potential evaluation, but also on how much the meaning of homicide, which I translate into the meaning of political execution, applies by armed revolutionary organizations in Greece -the 17N and the Sect of Revolutionaries and other organization- it is a part which we absolutely adopt, because it is a means of struggle of the anarchist armed action. Life on its own is not dignity on its own. Life is a value based on the choices made by everyone. Thus, whichever comrades chose to arm themselves and expose themselves by executing officers of authority, we are next to them. It is a choice adopted by the CCF as well. I want this to be stated and remain about the perception the CCF has".
Most members of the CCF do not appear in the court room refusing to "impersonate" the role of the accused. As they have explained in a previous session they will appear in pairs exclusively in order to intervene in case some witness or judge tries to slander the CCF. Anyway, as stated by the comrades, as anarchists of praxis they do not respect any state justice and do not recognize any law which will try them.
Tuesday 18/12
Before the 15th session began there was tension in the court room between the cops and members of the CCF. Specifically, when the comrades of the CCF went to greet their friends and family in the court room the cops formed a "human" wall blocking any communication. At one point a cop pushed the friend of a comrade resulting in the intensification of the situation. Immediately the comrades the members of the CCF moved towards him pushing him and swearing him while one of them spit a piece of gum in his face. The rest of the cops tried to disengage their colleague and in the end let the friends and family to greet the comrades of the Conspiracy.
In the legal part of the trial the speeches of the lawyers concerned the objections.
Athens: Anarchist comrade of CCF member Panagiotis Argirou reportedly injured in Koridallos prison and hospitalized
After conversation with a relative of anarchist Panagiotis Argirou, solidarians reported that the comrade fell out of the bunk bed at night, on January 1st, and gradually began to lose consciousness. He was evacuated from Koridallos prisons to Tzaneio hospital in Piraeus, and he might need to be admitted to another hospital soon. His injury appears to be quite severe, with bruises on the head.
The comrade has already been operated on the head last night 2/1/12 and had a hematoma removed.
He will remain in an induced coma until the end of the week because his situation is considered critical.
We are thinking of you always Panagiotis.

Athens: Responsibility claim for arson on the headquarters of Trastor real estate investment company
We are witnessing the most extreme contradictions that are born and die in this shit-world. While the calculators of sorcerer's apprentices of economic statistics are counting 23,000 dead in Syria, billions of people are watching besotted the London Olympic Games; the distance between the Olympic and the 'practical' shooting in the field of operations is just a simple push of the button on a remote control. If only it could happen… all these rivers of blood to become an impetuous torrent which will drown athletes and spectators. If only it could happen… We can refer all the same to the thousands of homeless people 'messing up' the image of the dire city, while the rich enjoy their luxurious comforts in the gardens of Ekali and Kifissia (two of the richest suburbs of Athens).
Societies that, despite their contradictions, manage to reproduce the stench they're emitting, partitioning everyone and everything, manufacturing hundreds of microcosms.
Power is not a compact structure but a diffused edifice, located on the systemic structures—economic, institutional, etc.—and human relations. Starting from society's chopping into antagonistic-with-each-other subsets, the constant fragmentation continues in the individual's daily life within the capitalist world; in every aspect of the individual's life, in every field of expression.

CCF – Bullets of words for the bullets of FAI/FRI (Greece, Italy)
Monday, May 14th, 2012
From athens indymedia via contra-info:
It is a wonderful moment, the moment that the enemy kneels and falls from the determination of your brothers and sisters. A few days ago Roberto Adinolfi, CEO-magister of the nuclear energy company Ansaldo Nucleare, was shot by our brothers and sisters of the Olga Cell of the Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI)–International Revolutionary Front (FRI).
Roberto Adinolfi is a high priest of the new totalitarianism of science and technology imperatives. Science has become the modern religion of our time, promising an apathetic society the lethargy of a stuffed belly and artificial paradises in exchange for the coldness of an empty heart drowned in compromise.
The empire of scientific totalitarianism is fed by the vanity of an anthropocentric authoritarian civilization. A civilization imposed on our desires, our choices, the nature and animals, turning life into a quantitative scale to fit its miserable statistics. At the same time, contemporary people end up unable to even dare to live authentically, without hypocrisy, and as they sink deeper into their reliance on technological substitutes of real life they create illusions and superficial relationships. Now, with their scientific discoveries, they can 'offer' us more time to grow old but deprive us of a way to live authentically. So, science generates the coldest of all monsters of the human folly. It lays the technological fascistization of our lives. It lays genetic testing, electronic monitoring, laboratory animals, research statistics, the dictatorship of machines and numbers. (more…)

Athens: Second 'Halandri case' Trial – Letter of Athena Tsakalou to the court (Greece)
Friday, May 4th, 2012
From Contra-Info:
On April 20th, in the special court-martial of Koridallos women's prisons where one more trial session of the second 'Halandri case' took place, Michalis Nikolopoulos read his request for postponement of the trial and then another statement by Christos Tsakalos and Damiano Bolano (both comrades were absent from court due to their hunger strike). Later, the defense attorney Frangiskos Ragousis handed the judges a letter from Athena Tsakalou, the mother of Christos and Gerasimos Tsakalos. She herself was present in the courtroom but she refused to testify. The letter wasn't read in court, and the presiding judge simply announced that 'it will be added to the transcript.' The complete letter is as follows:
'Every act of rebellion expresses nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.'
[Albert Camus]
I am asking myself: why are parents of the anarchists–revolutionaries of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire being subpoenaed to trial? Why are they subpoenaing me? Are they doing it in order to ask me if I know something about the organization? To ask me questions about the personal lives of my sons, sketch out their 'psychological profile,' or get an opinion on their 'family life'? Or to ask me if I agree with the actions of my children and, in general, those of the organization? To stand me up in front of this court, supported by that little book, and make me swear to that god you have placed in the service of Power? To make revolutionary anarchists feel uncomfortable while their parents are asked a bunch of awkward questions? Or is it so that you yourselves can rejoice at the thought that you have made us believe it is we who must give the answers and make an apologia? (more…)

'When one does not die for the other, then we are already dead'
[Tasos Livaditis]
I am not a humanist and therefore will not talk like a humanist. I place myself on the side of the anarchists of praxis. In the battle for a free life without leaders and minions, often a price to pay is the prison. This price has been imposed on me a year ago, since I am imprisoned–CAPTIVE by the State. Captive but not defeated; because for me, as an anarchist urban guerrilla, prison is a temporary stop but never the terminal. During this whole year, I did not allow prison to tame or to 'correct' me, or to subdue my body and my memory through the dead repetition of the time-jailer.
From the very first moment, however, a ceaseless psychological warfare and a special detention regime were launched against all comrades who participate in the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire. (more…)

'The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction' [William Blake]
Each of us knows that to get his life in his hands, he must refuse the dialogue and the illusions of democracy and come into conflict with the Power, having his knife between his teeth.
From the first moment of our imprisonment, we chose not to surrender to the dictatorship of the penitentiary system. From the first moment, the State and the antiterrorist unit's Tagmatasfalites (security battalions) sent specific commands to the prison service, in order to give special treatment both to us and the other CCF comrades.

Athens: Prisoners' mutiny in Koridallos men's prisons in solidarity with two members of the R.O. CCF (Greece)
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
On Tuesday, September 13th, 275 inmates in the 1st wing of Koridallos men's prisons refused to enter the prison cells in solidarity with two imprisoned members of the anarchist revolutionary organization Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, namely Gerasimos Tsakalos and Panagiotis Argirou who were transferred to Domokos prisons yesterday, September 12th.
Both refused to comply with the psychological torture of forcible full body search, and were attacked by warden Christos Kliaris and a group of the prison guards' staff. The two political prisoners resisted the jailers' blatant attack and threats, demonstrating that not all inmates remain apathetic to prison humiliating procedures and authorities.
The communiqué is co-signed by a total of 275 inmates who decided to remain outside the prison cells for three hours during midday. They dedicate their action to Gerasimos Tsakalos, Panagiotis Argirou and all prisoners that struggle for their dignity and have suffered tortures.

On the 10th of June there was the trial in the Evelpidon courts of the case of the occupation of the radio station Sport FM, that took place in 2007 in solidarity to anarchist Giannis Dimitrakis, imprisoned for a bank robbery. The incidents that happened that day and which concern the defendants, among which are also members of our organization, but also those gathered in solidarity and relatives, force us to speak publicly. The blows that the members of the R.O. C.C.F. Panagiotis Argirou, Damiano Bolano, Mihalis Nikolopoulos received, and also some of their co-defendants, from the EKAM (special forces) and the masked special guards of the transfer escort as well as the attack of the riot-cops on those gathered proves what cowardly pigs they are.

Letter from the Imprisoned Members Cell of the C.C.F. about the 13 arrested outside the house of Baltas, Athens (Greece)
Monday, April 11th, 2011
On the 4 April 2011 a group of people stopped outside of the house of special appeals interrogator Konstantinos Baltas (who handles the case of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire), that is in the northern suburbs of Athens, they shouted chants and threw flyers. 13 people were arrested after the end of the intervention…
"The days of this society are numbered, its rights and charms are separated in two parts of which one wishes its destruction"
On Tuesday 5th of April behind the walls of the prisons arrived the news that some comrades carried out a dynamic intervention outside the house of special appeals interrogator K.Baltas in the Maroussi area, who has taken the role of the inquisitor in the cases of urban guerrilla. The comrades with this act reversed the terms of the "game". If the mafia of special interrogators and public prosecutors believe that from the safety of their guarded offices they can imprison freedom and the undisciplined boldness of those who attack the democracy of directors and bother their relative and friendly environment, without having reprisals, they are fooling themselves. The "visit" of the comrades proves that the inquisitors of the laws, apart from names, also have houses and addresses. (more…)

Restoring Exchange mailbox folder
I'm trying to restore a folder from a mailbox, which is on a duplicate backup tape. I have catalogued the tape. The folder is approximately 60MB. The restore job is in the state of "Staging" and the byte count is at 40GB. I feel like it's staging the entire mail store before it will restore this folder. In the past I've been able to quickly restore single emails or mailbox items quickly as if doing a file restore, although it has been from the disk backup. Is this the way it works when restoring from a duplicated backup tape? Any help with understanding this process would be appreciated. Thanks...
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Take a look at this document. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH48668
If you need to restore from tape you should run a duplicate job back to disk.
Insert the tape containing the required Exchange backup sets into a tape drive.
On the menu bar, click File, and then click New > Duplicate Backup Sets Job.
Click Duplicate existing backup sets.
Click OK.
Select the Exchange backup sets that you want to duplicate.
On the Properties pane, under Destination, click Device and Media.
In the Device list box, select a backup-to-disk folder.
Click Run Now.
After the job completes, run a restore job to restore the individual public folder messages from the Exchange backup sets that are duplicated in the backup-to-disk folder.
My backups go disk to disk, then duplicate to tape. From what I'm reading, the tape duplicate has to be staged to disk first before it can restore using GRT. Do I understand this correctly? Also, if I need to do a second restore job (first is a test restore), will it have to stage to disk again, or is it already there?
Yes it sounds like youve got it. You just need to make sure you have enough space to stage the tape duplicate to disk. It will not need to stage again. Please see this how to that explains step by step: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/restoring-exchange-or-individual-mailboxesitems-using-backup-exec-howto
Hope this helps

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options

College Football: Winners and Losers of BCS Poll, Week 12
Unless you're competing for the top two spots in the BCS your focus is elsewhere for some teams. Teams like Wisconsin, UCLA, and Rutgers are too far out to be eligible for an at-large bid, but they're still eligible for an automatic if they win their conference.
But to teams like Oklahoma, Clemson, and Oregon rank is a big portion of your resume. They're a long shot for a conference title so they're focused on finishing in the top 14 to qualify for an at-large bid.
The Winners
No. 2 Alabama – Alabama slipped from No. 1 to No. 4 after a loss to Texas A&M last week. After an Oregon and Kansas State loss all they had to do is beat West Carolina, a 1-10 FBS school, and they're right back in the mix. Bama is 2-1 against ranked teams and has been handed the number 2 spot with the worst strength of schedule in the top 10.
No. 4 Florida – In the last three weeks Florida beat Missouri (5-6) by seven, LA-Lafayette (6-5) by seven, and didn't come close to covering the spread against Jacksonville State (6-5 FBS). With a laughable non-conference schedule it makes you wonder how they jumped an Oregon team that lost by three, in overtime, to No. 8 Stanford.
No. 8 Stanford – A 3-point win in overtime over No. 1 Oregon was enough to jump five slots in the BCS. While it's hard to say they're being favored after holding the best offense in the nation to 14 points, they easily jumped a Texas A&M team that upset the previous week's No. 1 team.
The Losers
No. 12 South Carolina – The Gamecocks actually dropped three slots after a win. But I guess that's what you get for scheduling Wofford (FBS) so late in the season.
No. 13 Oklahoma – The Sooners dropped a slot after winning a nail-biter in Morgantown. Margin of victory isn't allowed to be a factor in the computer polls but keep in mind the controlling portion of the BCS are the human polls.
No. 17 UCLA – Last week they sealed their division by beating No. 18 USC, yet they remain at No. 17. I'm a Texas fan and I still think UCLA should have at least jumped the Horns.
No. 25 Washington – Boise State, Kent State, and Arizona jumped the Huskies even after a 38-3 win over Colorado. You remember the Huskies, right? The team that handed No. 8 Stanford it's only conference loss and was the first team to take down No. 15 Oregon State.
With the BCS selections just a few weeks away, I recommend brushing up on the selection process before getting into those water-cooler debates: http://www.bcsfootball.org/news/story?id=4819597.

This weekend marks the opening of 'The Smurfs,' a film based on the popular Saturday morning cartoon and Belgian comic strip. If you don't already know, Smurfs are small blue creatures from Smurf Village who often throw the word "smurf" into every sentence. (For example: Moviefone is the best smurfing website on the Internet.)
Hopefully this won't come as a shock to our Smurf demographic, but Smurfs do not hold a monopoly on blue-colored characters in films. So, to celebrate the opening of their new flick, we decided to compile the best blue roles ever. (And yes, there are more than just 'Avatar' characters).
'X-Men': Mystique, Beast and Nightcrawler
'Yellow Submarine': Blue Meanies
Perhaps the most evil blue people on this list, the Blue Meanies set out to take over Pepperland, a place filled with music. Of course, the Beatles, along with their doppelgangers, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, help bring peace to the town and make friends with their now-former enemies.
'Avatar': The Na'avi
'Doug's 1st Movie': Skeeter Valentine
Honk! Honk! You probably forgot there was a 'Doug' movie, didn't you? Well, if you didn't (and we have nothing but love for die-hard 'Doug' fans), then here's a quick refresher: Skeeter Valentine was Doug Funnie's best friend (and a very blue best friend at that), best known for making a "honk" noise every time he entered the room.
'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory': Violet Beauregarde
Poor Violet Beauregarde turned into a blueberry after eating the Three-Course-Dinner Gum. Granted, she was a huge brat, so we never felt that bad for her. And yeah, we know she isn't technically "blue" in this film -- it's closer to violet (hence the line "you're turning violet, Violet!") -- but it's good enough for our list.
'The Fifth Element': Diva Plavalaguna
We know what you're thinking: Who the heck is Diva Plavalaguna? For those who don't remember, she's the blue opera singer who's entrusted with guarding the four elements. We may not know a lot about her, but one thing's for certain: She's got some serious pipes.
'Aladdin': The Genie
Everyone's thought it at some point: I wish I had a genie that would grant me three wishes. Unfortunately, the closest you're likely to get to that dream is watching 1992's 'Aladdin,' which features Robin Williams as the Genie. Not only was this genie absolutely hysterical, he was blue, which makes him a perfect candidate for this group.
'Watchmen': Dr. Manhattan
While he may have ultimately been set up by another superhero, Dr. Manhattan was still pretty badass. Having been accidentally disintegrated during a science experiment, the man once known as Jon Osterman returned as Dr. Manhattan. He not only could glow bright blue, he could clone himself and destroy his enemies without lifting a finger.
'Megamind': Megamind
This animated comedy starring Will Ferrell as the alien Megamind made a boatload at the box office ($321 million). Megamind was a super-intelligent creature with a blue dome the size of the aliens' heads in 'Mars Attacks.'
'Winnie the Pooh': Eeyore
'Arrested Development': Tobias Fünke
Don't worry, there wasn't an 'Arrested Development' movie made while you were sleeping (wouldn't that be nice?). We just wanted to include Mr. Tobias Fünke on this list in case the film based on the cult television show ever does get made. For those unfamiliar with 'A.D.,' Tobias Fünke (played by David Cross) is an aspiring actor who decides to try out for Blue Man Group and ends up spending a good amount of time decked out in blue paint.

In it, the alien race known as Buggers once attacked earth, and, at great cost, the humans defeated them. Years have passed, and Earth has diligently readied themselves for any future attack, training and nurturing the brightest child geniuses to possibly be the leader they need to defeat the Buggers.
Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is a shy, but brilliant 12-year-old boy who comes from a family that has all tried and failed at entering the International Fleet. His violent and brutal older brother, Peter, lacked the self-control of a leader, and Ender's sweet and kind sister, Valentine, was too compassionate for the military. This left Ender, commonly called a "third" because having three children was socially and legally discouraged.
Preliminary testing of Ender gives Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) hope that Ender might be the one with the tactical intelligence to defeat the Buggers for good. Ender, once accepted into Battle School, learns strategy, combat, and, most importantly, how to be a leader. As Graff pushes Ender harder than any other student, Ender struggles with his own nature. His training pushes him toward further violence and aggression while he desperately tries to hold onto the compassion his dear sister gave to him. Ender's unprecedented skills increase and the responsibility of his mission becomes unbearable.
ENDER'S GAME carries the themes of the original novel quite well, but the movie fails at being great on its own merit. Its inclusion of certain aspects from the book muddle the story a bit and increase its pace too quickly. That said, the movie is still highly entertaining with creative, unique action sequences, fantastic CGI images, and a cast that captures the character motives and personalities magnificently.
The worldview is purposefully mixed, with the filmmakers deliberately wanting to spawn discussion among young people regarding a myriad of topics.
One of the novel's major themes, which carries into the movie, is about warfare and how societies go about winning a war. Though no particular nation is spotlighted in the movie, earth as a whole has turned to militaristic paranoia, borrowing from a Darwinist philosophy the idea of "kill or be killed." This is the prevalent worldview of Colonel Graff and the International Fleet as Graff trains these young boys and girls.
On the flip side, one of Graff's officers, Major Anderson (Viola Davis), disagrees with Graff's intense training. She works to defend the children's innocence.
This debate goes on until the end, when Graff's philosophy of war is questioned and replaced with compassion. Graff's "us or them" mentality is put in its place with Ender's statement "the way we win matters." Biblically, Ender correctly shows the importance of compassion.
(SPOILER ALERT) One problem with Ender's eventual empathy for the Buggers is that it doesn't transfer over to the audience. The lack of information regarding these aliens leaves it unclear whether Ender's attitude is truly the correct one. Ultimately, however, Ender's view seems to be correct, though some aspects of it may be questioned. (END OF SPOILERS)
The movie also rightly puts the militaristic use of children in warfare in a negative spotlight, even though there's little violence. Ender's diplomatic and compassionate leadership with his fellow Battle School students proves to be more powerful than bullying and fear. The themes addressed should generate healthy discussion among all viewers, including younger ones.
Thankfully, the offensive content in ENDER'S GAME is minimal. There's very little foul language, no sex, and only a few stronger violent scenes, especially between Ender and some young bullies who antagonize him. Most of the children's combat training is simply a glorified version of laser tag in a zero gravity room. Caution is advised for ENDER'S GAME due to brief violence and some complex themes that would be difficult for younger children to comprehend.
In Brief:
ENDER'S GAME is highly entertaining with a great cast and stellar visuals and special effects. However, the story moves a little too quickly at times. The movie has a strong moral worldview overall, but that's mixed with some humanist elements. Thankfully, the offensive content is minimal, with very little foul language, no lewd content, and only a few violent scenes between Ender and some young bullies. Caution is advised for ENDER'S GAME, due to that brief violence and some complex themes that might be difficult for young children to comprehend.

Langtry Estate Lillie Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc from North Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Like its namesake, Lillie Sauvignon Blanc is unique. located west of the Langtry House, the five acre vineyard is unlike most Sauvignon Blanc plantings. Its restrictive, shallow, magnesium-laced soils produce small vines, leaves and berries, and thus, modest yields for a vigorous variety. The fruit is concentrated and very complex.
Partially barrel fermented, in neutral barrels, the 2008 Langtry "Lillie Vineyard" Sauvignon Blanc is made in our signature style. The vines from the small 5 acre lot, that is farmed organically, bring forth an expressive wine with abundant: grapefruit, guava, pineapple, coconut, and banana flavors. The dramatic tropical fruit and rich textures are balanced by a bright acidity and smooth finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Scents of fresh-cut grass brighten this sauvignon. It feels big, with green grape skin flavors giving it a profile more characteristic of Marlborough styles. Serve it with pot stickers stuffed with pork and vegetables."
Langtry Estate & Vineyards
For well over one hundred years, intrepid travelers have trekked over Howell Mountain to reach our Guenoc Valley winery. Langtry Estate & Vineyards property is vast, encompassing some thirty-five square miles of epic terrain, where untamed flora and fauna still abound.
The picturesque estate consists of 21,349 acres and straddles both Lake and Napa Counties where cougar, bear and wild boar still roam the remote hills. Despite the vastness, Langtry's vineyards are limited to 400 prime acres, ensuring the highest quality.
Langtry Estate & Vineyards currently produces approximately 120,000 cases of wine annually with distribution throughout the United States. From cane to canopy, to rootstock and clone, Langtry Estate believes that the signature of the wine remains in the soil and climate and in varietals chosen for their synergy with the land.
While Langtry has enjoyed significant critical success, the winery has emerged as one of the top producers of two of the hottest varietal wines on the market today, Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc. Each year, Langtry ranks among the top medal winning wineries at professional wine competitions, and the winery's Petite Sirah has won more gold medals and best of show awards than any other Petite Sirah in the world.

About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

1 rating, 1 with review412/16/2010Langtry's Lillie is a crisp, smooth joy to drink. It seems to be available in spurts. One week and all gone at wine.com. Great buy every year.
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Likelihood of Release
The only difference for likelihood of release is found in an observed release by chemical analysis.
- An observed release by direct observation remains the same.
You've simply documented the presence of a radionuclide in the material
observed to be entering the ground water, surface water, or the air.
- Potential to release remains the same.
Observed Release Criteria: HRS rule, Section 7.1.1, page 51663 to 51664
The criteria for an observed release by chemical analysis are different for naturally-occurring or ubiquitous radionuclides than for man-made radionuclides.
For naturally-occurring or ubiquitous radionuclides:
- Measured concentrations of release samples must exceed either 2 standard deviations above mean site-specific background, or the upper-limit value for regional background in that type of sample. Plus, some portion of the increase must be attributable to the site.
- For Man-made, non-ubiquitous radionuclides: Measured concentrations in release samples must equal or exceed the SQL for that radionuclide in that media and must be attributable to the site.
- If a radionuclide is also attributable to neighboring sites, the measured concentration must also exceed 2 standard deviations above the mean concentration attributable to neighboring sites, or be 3 times the site-specific background, which ever is lower.
For the soil exposure pathway:
- Radionuclides, like chemical wastes, must lie within the top 2 feet of the soil.
- An exception is made gamma emitters. For this highly-penetrating radiation, depth is not considered.
- The gamma exposure rate must equal or exceed two times background and be measured with the survey instrument held 1 meter above the soil surface or 1 meter away from an aboveground source.

Tennis News Wire -
The world will remember Murrays post-final tears as he battled with emotion in trying to offer his thanks for the public support and he has admitted he found it difficult to sleep as intense regret flooded his mind.
But a secret trip back to the All England Club a couple of days later, on the pretext of collecting some training gear, helped the 25 year-old Scots mindset. At first I cried a lot at home and was finding it difficult to sleep, he said. I didnt touch a racket for quite a while, I had a few days off where I went go-karting with my friends and went to see comedy shows. But went back to Wimbledon and sat on Centre Court by myself for about half an hour.
I spent some time reflecting on the final. I thought a little bit about the match and then was thinking what it will be like playing at the Olympics, because Wimbledon changed so quickly after the tournament, They had all the London 2012 backdrops at the back of the court and I guess that maybe got my mind looking forward to this event.
If the Olympics wasn't here I would have taken two or three weeks off, but I just took four or five days off and got back on the court.
Murray has been back practicing with his support team for almost a week and now feels rejuvenated. "Getting back on the court has helped, I needed to make sure I got over the disappointment quickly, said the player who lost in the first round of the Beijing Olympics to Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei.
"Last Olympics I played in Cincinnati a week before the Games started and arrived three days before. It was not ideal preparation and I did not understand how much the Olympics meant to me. After I lost, it hit me hard. This time I will be properly prepared.
In addition to singles action, Murray will also be playing doubles with brother Jamie. 'Winning a medal for your country is huge, you're part of this huge competition and your feel part of the team, that you've contributed and helped towards it, said world no.4 Andy who in Rafael Nadals absence will be the tournaments third seed.
There's not been too many guys who have won the singles and the doubles, but I want to try and do it, playing in this competition with my brother is really a dream you never expect when you're growing up.
