Ocean's Thirteen | 2007
Clip Name: The Five Diamonds
Now the top casinos can clear 3 million dollars a day just on the floor.
Bank with his high level players and no limits is projecting 5.
Upon exchange for the loans he had to give up six of the nine seats on the board.
So he doesn't control his own company. And a couple of the guys he brought in aren't friendly.
So he has to clear 500 million in the first quarter or he gets dumped out of his own hotel.
Bank wants another Five Diamond Award.
Every hotel I ever has one: a Royal Review Five Diamond Award.
The Cigarou Inn: five diamonds.
The Peloponnesian Monte Carlo: five diamonds.
The Grand Saphir, Singapore: cinco diamantes.
Atomano Crest, Tahiti...
I never not won one.
So, how are you gonne get the diamonds?
We're not.
We thought about it for a minute...
Then we decided... It was...
Tell him about Debbie.
Yeah, tell him about Debbie.
Debbie is a concierge at the Bank.
She's very ambitious.
In a good way for us.
As soon as I said the words: general manager she was in.
I put a cherry on top to make sure.
We found out who'd be reviewing the hotel.
We're gonna get to him before Bank can.
Turk Malloy
I feel bad. Like torture.
Saul Bloom
This is war, kid. There's gonna be collateral damage.
lar restul se va ?nt?mpla at the airport.
No, he doesn't know that.
So what?
He has to know why you won? You enjoy it? Who says?
Alright so you go through that for 10 milion?
No. I do it for eleven mille.
Now, we found out Bank is tapped into the federal fingerprint database.

Aww thanks guys. Wasn't kidding about trying to find the botecchia a forever home- she's an odd beast who needs someone who understands.

While i was taking pics, i Dug the other Italian out. At least this one fits me. I'm not sure what the marque was on it- it was made in Maine by aegis, but it could have been branded as anything from a basso to a trek.
^To me that looks like a more modern frame set with vintage wheels, stem, bars and saddle. Very strange. I like the cleanness of the frame but looks like a hodgepodge of parts put together. Definitely not hot, sorry
Pretty sure everything is period correct.

Only hitch was that our treatments were confirmed but reservations did not let the SPA know! They had no record of our treatment bookings. Fortunately, they managed to fit us in - but not good if it has been really busy.

I keep getting the "sorry, the maximum allowed clients from your host (10) are already connected" error whenever I try to transfer a large number of files. At first I thought it's a filezilla bug, however I get the same error basically with every FTP client I've tried, including Total Commander under Wine. I do not get that error using Windows. I did try to limit maximum allowed connections for Filezilla, both in server settings and in global settings, it didnt change anything. I did try to switch between passive and active modes (not sure if it's related at all, just last desperate attempt), and it didnt change anything either.
When I try to use native ftp client (not sure how is it called, the one in Places -> Connect to a server) I get abstract "connection refused" error every time I transfer large number of files. Connection is refused for separate particular files, if I click "Ignore" each time the rest of files are transfered perfectly well, so I assume it's the very same error.
Anything I could do? This really drives me mad, transfering large numbers of files is a part of my everyday job...
P.S. and this happens with many different FTP servers. Also I dont get this error in Windows. So I assume it's not a server problem. P.P.S. I am aware of similar question here, the answer provided just didn't solve it to me.

Would it not be easier to just replace with a larger disk - mirror to the same size, and have another partition afterwards. You end up with 2pvs (both mirrored, I would expect), rather than the "nicer" answer of a single pv, but as long as the whole thing is then controlled through LVM is there really any loss as a result?

Snow Guard Building Codes & Standards
Snow retention system building codes?
This article discusses standards & codes for snow retention system and answers "no" to the simple question of is there a snow retention system buiding code.
This article series illustrates types of snow guards or snow brakes or other snow retention devices used on metal, rubber, asphalt, and slate roofs and we explain and illustrate in photographs just how and where these devices are attached to building roofs. We give the reasons for snow & ice retainer use and their history.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
The short answer: no.
A snow and ice retention system that mounts to a standing seam metal roof by connecting to the roof covering has to resist the forces of snow and ice pressure by transmitting those forces from the snow fence or snow guard to the roof surface and through that roof to the roof mounting clips.
There are building codes for building roof system wind-uplift resistance on metal roofs but there are not building codes that describe the "shear strength" resistance for the fasteners used to secure metal roof panels to the roof deck.
Failures in the mounting system for snow retention devices can occur if the snow retention system is not adequately secured to the building structure itself. Damage to the roof or roof covering can also occur if the total snow and ice load bends or breaks the roof covering (such as a standing seam metal roof).
If the total load causes the roof mounting clips beneath the metal roof to shear. In our OPINION given the total number of clips used to secure the length of a standing seam metal roof panel to the roof deck below, the chances of shearing of all of these roof mounting clip screws, properly screwed to a sound plywood or even OSB roof deck should be minimal.
However it is plausible that high snow and ice loading near the roof edge, imposed against snow guards or a snow fence in that location, could provide a bending force that pulls fasteners out of the roof deck, bending or damaging the roof, and sending snow guards and snow and ice to the ground below.
Adhesive failures are reported by Galow, Anderson, and others as a common snow retention system failure for glued-on snow guards on metal roofs, as we discussed above. [15][20]
Structural damage can occur if the snow retention system is not properly located on the roof. See SNOW GUARD SPACING & PATTERN for an explanation of ice dam loading on roof extensions.
The load on snow guards as well as the relationship of snow loading on roofs and the use of snow guard was investigated by Tobiasson (1996) et als. who concluded that improved design guidelines, standards and performance criteria are needed for snow guards on metal roofs.
There are however recommendations for snow retention system installation from the manufacturers of these systems. See SNOW GUARDS on METAL ROOFS for examples.

Throughout August and September, eight local residents will come together to practice their cha-cha, foxtrot and waltz.
They'll rehearse carefully choreographed routines over and over and over again. While they started with two left feet, their moves will be conditioned to make them fluid stars of the stages.
All of the long practices, the awkward steps and the body aches will be worth it as they raise thousands of dollars for local nonprofit agencies.
As part of the inaugural Dancing with the Johnson County Stars, they'll be working to raise money for eight county causes. The dancers will be soliciting sponsorships and donations, with the added bonus of being judged as the best mover and shaker of the group.
Organizer Barb Miller offers a primer on how the competition will work:
What agencies are involved?
Franklin Heritage Inc.; Gateway Services-Access Johnson County, Interchurch Food Pantry, KIC-IT, Johnson County Historical Society, The Refuge, Johnson County Senior Services, Youth Connections
How does it work?
Each agency picks a dancer to take part, and they do their own fundraising with that dancer. Whatever they sell through sponsorship and fundraising goes directly to them.
What is the overall goal?
We want to raise $100,000 for the agencies involved.
Besides the money, what are the dancers aiming for?
We have a mirror ball trophy, where the ball turns, and that goes to the dancer who raises the most money. We are having judges who will score the dancers based on who they think is the best dancer, and we will award a Best Dancer Award both nights.
How did you come up with the idea to do this?
Four years ago, when I was on the board of Youth Connections, the director at the time came in and had an idea for a fundraiser — Dancing with the Stars. I didn't think it would work, and she dropped it. A few months later, she asked if I'd go see one with her in Terre Haute. By the time that evening was over, I was convinced I wanted to do an event like that.
What obstacles existed to making this work?
We didn't have a dance instructor to work with, we really didn't have a location that could handle it all, and no one seemed to have the time to do it at the time. Since that time, I've been to five of these events, and we've figured out those details.
Why is this something you wanted to take on?
It's too good an opportunity for one agency to pull it off. Every agency has its own supporters, and if we could collaborate with several agencies, we could touch everyone in the county. There might be some overlap, but there also will be people who support just one agency.
What was the criteria for agencies included?
It had to be an agency that served the entire county, had to have a strong volunteer corporation and a committed board. That's how we came up with the eight agencies that are involved.
What kind of additional features will be included in the event?
We'll have a band playing both nights for the people who want to dance at intermission. Beer and wine will be for sale. We'll have a tent on the lot across from the Artcraft, and the agencies will be set up to talk to people about their mission and get donations.
What should people know about parking?
Because of parking issues, we have permission for people to park at Franklin Community Middle School, and a bus service will bring people downtown.
How can people make donations?
They can go to wedoauctions.net/dwtjcs and buy tickets online or they can click on a dancer and make a pledge that night. They can even do that the night of the event on their smartphones.

|Oregon transfer Malcolm Armstead should help keep Wichita State relevant. (US Presswire)
Doug McDermott is the only Associated Press First Team All-American back in college, which ensures he'll be a preseason All-American and candidate to become the first National Player of the Year from the Missouri Valley Conference since Hersey Hawkins was the AP Player of the Year in 1988. So that alone makes the MVC worth following this season. But there are other reasons, too. And they are documented below.
|Offseason headlines
1. SMU's hire cost Illinois State its coach: SMU's decision to hire a 71-year-old coach with a past that suggests he won't be there long created an opportunity for Illinois State's Tim Jankovich to move to Dallas and be the Mustangs' designated coach-in-waiting. So he took it. On April 26th. And Illinois State responded by hiring Vanderbilt assistant Dan Muller, an alum who was earlier this offseason a finalist to fill the vacancy at Mississippi State.
2. Drake star moved home/to the Big Ten: Drake's Rayvonte Rice averaged 14 points as a freshman, 17 as a sophomore and then promoted himself from the MVC to the Big Ten. The shooting guard from Champaign, Ill., is now enrolled at the University of Illinois in Champaign. He'll sit out this year and then play for the Illini in 2013-14.
3. Barry's back in the MVC: Barry Hinson spent nine seasons as the head coach at Missouri State and came close to making the NCAA tournament several times without ever actually doing it. He was fired after the 2007-08 season because that's what happens sans tournament appearances in this sport. But Hinson always seemed like the type who deserved another chance to lead another program, and he got that chance when Southern Illinois hired him in March. It's a nice story worth following over the next few years.
4. Doug McDermott is back, too: I'm not sure where Doug McDermott would've been picked in the 2012 NBA Draft, but somebody would've taken him somewhere because he's tall and because he can shoot and because he projects as a nice stretch-four at the next level. But McDermott never seriously considered leaving after his stellar sophomore season in which he was a CBSSports.com Second Team All-American, and for that, I'm certain, his father/coach is thankful.
|Big question that remains
Will Malcolm Armstead ease the loss of Wichita State's top five scorers?
Gregg Marshall had a team built to advance deep into March last season. But the Shockers lost their final two games -- including a Round of 64 defeat to VCU -- to finish on a sour note, and now the top five scorers from that team are gone. That'll be tough to overcome, no doubt. But Malcolm Armstead is good enough to keep Wichita State relevant. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.4 assists two years ago at Oregon. So he's a proven commodity at the high-major level.
|NBA Draft report
Could've gone and did: None
Could've gone but stayed: Doug McDermott (Creighton)
Coming: Chris Hines (from Utah to Drake), Wes Washpun (from Tennessee to Northern Iowa)
Going: James Anacreon (Wichita State), Trey Blue (Illinois State), Corey Copeland (Missouri State), Jevon Lyle (Northern Iowa), Nic Moore (Illinois State), Rayvonte Rice (from Drake to Illinois), Treg Setty (Southern Illinois), David Smith (Rice), Donivine Stewart (Bradley to SIU)-Edwardsville), Corbin Thomas (Missouri State), Judd Welfringer (Drake)
|Team commentary in 140 characters or less
|Scoring machine Colt Ryan could lift Evansville above .500. (US Presswire)
Creighton: The return of Doug McDermott ensures the Missouri Valley Conference will remain on the national radar even without a great national TV deal.
Drake: The loss of Rayvonte Rice to Illinois is a tough pill for the Bulldogs to swallow. He's an all-league player now in another league.
Evansville: Colt Ryan averaged 20.5 points last season, which ranked 14th nationally. His return could help Evansville get above .500 in the MVC.
Illinois State: ISU was smart to tab Vanderbilt assistant and former Redbirds standout Dan Muller to replace Tim Jankovich. Muller will win immediately.
Indiana State: Jake Odum was the only MVC player to average at least 11 points, six boards and five assists last year. Those are solid all-around numbers.
Missouri State: The departure of Kyle Weems will be tough to overcome. MSU will likely finish below .500 in the MVC for the first time in three years.
Northern Iowa: Greg McDermott never leaves Iowa State for Creighton if Dana Altman never leaves CU for Oregon. So Altman cost UNI Doug McDermott, in a way.
Southern Illinois: It really is nice to see Barry Hinson back as a head coach in this league. He's one of the good guys who handled his brief drop with grace.
Wichita State: The Shockers lost a lot from last year's MVC title team. But they didn't lose their coach. So they should transition OK and start to reload.
|Early guess at the top five in the league
1. Creighton
2. Illinois State
3. Northern Iowa
4. Wichita State
5. Evansville
|Early guess at the all-conference team
G: Jake Odum (Indiana State)
G: Ben Simons (Drake)
G: Colt Ryan (Evansville)
F: Doug McDermott (Creighton)
F: Jackie Carmichael (Illinois State)
|Final thought
Creighton is the obvious favorite in the MVC thanks to an established coach and established star who happen to be related, and it'll be nice for the league if the Bluejays meet expectations because that's the only real way to remain in the national conversation when you operate outside of the power structure. You have to have a team with a pro who starts strong and stays that way. So here's hoping Doug McDermott drops 30 on somebody inside the first month and leads the nation in scoring. It'll force casual fans to pay attention to the MVC, and the MVC deserves that because it's a fine basketball league with some nice programs and a tremendous tradition.

oh, well, i am at least a very passionate spectator and love the gathering on the field.
thank you all for sending me the warm fuzzy waves.....
meeting on the forum is the preparation for meeting in person or spirit.....
who knows when and where... we just might...... (right? Laura, Takako, Penny, Watty, Mousie, ......the list go on and on
in my head like a merry-go-around, who came up with the big word "Kitelife" should get a Nobel award)
having the birthday in Dec comes in handy to look back for a year's marks made on the journey.
This past year, the best thing i had done for myself is to start iSPACE.
"listen to others, follow your heart".
making my dream one step at a time.
life is good.
(hey, takako... we had a dinner party after our indoor flight party and Geary found a "turtle key chain" .... showed me and he was of course, thinking of you -- and your beloved T friend)

for those who worry about being late:
"never hurry, never worry"
i do not do birthday thing and usually the rest of the year works better !
(in my experience, there is always bad things happen on that day, so i stay really low and hope to enjoy the rest of the days..... today, i actually broke one of my very favorite pottery while cooking.....)
so my ritual of having uneventful low key avoiding worse case.... it went... until
from time to time, i peeked on the forum and email (i did turn off the phone, canceled my solo backpacking/camping plan with tiny regret)
and i was so surprised to hear from all of you in many ways sending me warm wishes.
ah, it has been a tough year for me, but i am grateful that i learned much.
thank you all for being there and showed your affection in your own way (even with mental waves )
I want to mention that the best thing is i have paved the road by walking... making my dreams in reality.
and i am very touched to get an email from mom saying how much she appreciated my love in her life.....
it's all good.
happy time, tough time.... it's all good.
everyone here, three cheers for having the wonderful forum !
the world is so much more fun with you all.....
those who did not post on this thread, don't worry, .....i have super sensor......
think of me, sing a song, wiggle a dance, take a soft breath and bring out the sweet smile....
touch your heart, touch a friend/family.....
love makes life go around.
this is how you cheer for me being me, and how i live, the same when i leave the world....
much love and gratitude
@Sue and Steve... you almost bring tears to my eyes.
thank you and big hugs for those who are there.....
next year, i will TRY to join you for group flying just as a thank you back for what you wrote for me today......
@fortflyer.... please don't remember the above line.
love me anyway. love.

Biotechnology Solves Debate Over Origin Of European Potato
Science Daily Molecular studies recently revealed new genetic information concerning the long-disputed origin of the "European potato." Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of La Laguna, and the International Potato Center used genetic markers to prove that the remnants of the earliest known landraces of the European potato are of Andean and Chilean origin. They report their findings in the May-June 2007 issue of Crop Science.

"European potatoes," the cultivated potatoes first appearing in Europe and later spreading worldwide, were first recorded outside of the Americas in 1567 on the Canary Islands Archipelago. Today, scientists believe that the remnant landraces of these early potatoes still grow in on the Canary Islands.
For years, researchers have debated the birthplace of the European potato. While some scientists hypothesized that landrace introductions originated in the Andes, others believed that the introductions came from Chile. While there are multiple lines of evidence to support each theory, the Andean introduction hypothesis stems from the belief that the Canary Islands landraces are solely of Andean origin. Although almost all current European potatoes have Chilean traits, the Andean hypothesis supposed that these potatoes arose from crosses with Chilean potatoes as breeding stock after the Irish potato famine in the 1840s.
Using molecular markers, the scientists found that the Canary Island landraces possessed both Andean and Chilean types, as well as possible hybrids of the two.
"In combination with other historical, molecular, agronomic, and crossing data, these findings support a hypothesis of multiple early introductions of both Andean and Chilean germplasm to the Canary Islands and to Europe," said Dr. David Spooner, co-author of the Crop Science study.
Spooner and others speculate that the early European potato was selected from Chilean introductions before the 1840s because they were better able to reproduce in long-day conditions, in contrast to Andean potatoes that were short-day adapted.
"The results of these studies are of interest not only to evolutionists but also for breeders. Years of effort were made to artificially recreate the European potato from Andean landraces yet it may have originated from Chile," said Spooner. "If the true origin of the European potato was from Chile, rather from the Andes, it shows the value of plant evolutionary studies to understand and complement breeding programs".
Spooner and other scientists now plan to further investigate the origin of the European potato from DNA extracted from herbarium specimens of cultivated potatoes collected in Europe before 1845.
"The results of these studies are providing data to rewrite the history of the cultivated potato and will aid breeders to better interpret the true pedigrees of our modern potato," said Spooner.
Note: This story has been adapted from a news release issued by American Society of Agronomy.
Quick, somebody ping Dan Quayle.
ha ha Eurotrash got caught fibbing.
(AHA! I thought we has a Spud!)
"The results of these studies are providing data to rewrite the history of the cultivated potato and will aid breeders to better interpret the true pedigrees of our modern potato," said Spooner.
pointless, except for the personal edification of a very few.....and taxpayer funded
The next logical question may be:
Why {and how and when} did the potato cross the Atlantic?
Pointless? A better understanding of the genome of a key food crop is pointless?
There are a lot of starved Irish who might disagree from their graves.
*sigh* To get to the other side!
Thank heaven!! Now maybe I can get some sleep!
I think it's the fact that they use brown ketchup...
Still, history has always fascinated me. Especially when someone finds a piece of the puzzle that doesn't seem to fit.
They couldn't have done it themselves. This is clear evidence of alien or Atlantean assistance.
"Well, maybe now they can get to the problem of why the European potato tastes better with malt vinegar while the American potato tastes better with ketchup."
Not true. American potatoes taste best with Malt vinegar.
I snipped and quoted the only selling point from the article, and based my comment upon that.
What you claim in your response may or may not be true or applicable.
Ah. Well, the potato came to Europe after Columbus...

Maybe not fibbing, but they were definitely chiving us.
No, they floated, because all potatoes are tubers.
I sour cream ashore with my own eyes.
Interesting. Never realized there was such a debate.
IF Dr. David Spooner is in any way related to the Rev. William Archibald Spooner perhaps his conclusions are more that just a mite questionable.....
Could be nucking futs.
nice post. thks
Yukon gold it what you want... ;')
I can die happy knowing that this question has been answered.
I've had my 'eyes' peeled on this half-baked potato controversy for years.
That's a tomato! (YOWZA!)
Tuber, or not tuber: that is not the question; but, rather, whether tis butter to hill, or to furrow. As for me, and my house, we tire and retire till the vine dieth upon the last straw.
You say tomato,
I say potato..
That's clever! Do the tires help bump off pests?
No, not really; but they do provide early season heat.
They save space, and also make hilling & harvesting easy: as the vine grows, add another tire to the stack, and start filling it with straw. No soil pressure on the developing taters, so they form better.
When the vines die, unstack & remove the straw for the compost pile or for tilling under, and the potatoes are right there for the taking.
Other people build slat-sided boxes to do the same thing, adding 1X6 or 1X8 boards to the box frames as the vines grow.
The tires are also good for squash & tomatoes, mainly for the extra heat they provide.
Several gardening books cover it.
It also keeps the tires out of land fills; and now that we get charged "disposal fees" for leaving the old tires at the shop when they're replaced, we keep them instead, and put them to use.
That's a keeper!
Oy don't know that! AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!
Cool idea, but using tires in VA is suicide.
You cut drain holes on the lower side of them, so they don't hold water.
That also allows then to slowly release the water into the soil, but not hold it for mosquito breeding.
The other advantage over permanent raised beds is that you can easily move them aside, and till stuff in, instead of having to hand dig.
Sounds good - might try it.
Or, more likely, might suggest it to my wife. I look at a plant, it dies. LOL.
(I ain't allowed to touch the garden.)
Botticelli's "Venus" and Manet's "Olympia" have to be the two most beautiful paintings of women I've ever seen. Statuesque redheads and rubenesque women with dark hair and eye, mmmmmm!
that would have been even more appropriate on fry day.
Having stuck my nose outside to do a few chores, I have decided this is baker day.
The ayes have it.
yup, sounds interesting and saves on space
too. very important at our lil cottage. no
tires laying around here tho.
and yes, MY tomatos are just divine :D
...don't you touch them, patton.

Jewel and her sexy friends were all waiting for the substitute yoga instructor. He showed up late and began the class. As all the girls began stretching he went to each one and helped them individually. As he helped them, he felt up their luscious tits and delectable asses. He even had his cock sticking out the bottom of his shorts as he helped the girls stretch. His cock rubbed across a couple of their faces as he instructed them. They finally got enough of his groping and decided to teach him and the male student who did not stop the molesting, a lesson. They ripped off all of their clothes and began abusing and using their bodies. They demanded a good pussy pounding and they got it.

I'd be interested to get your thoughts. This will be my first android device, and I'm convinced that stock android is the way to go. Just how important is dual core is the next thought. Granted I don't plan on upgrading until my contract is up, so maybe the future proofing of dual core is the way to go.
Ummmmm G2x you still get Stock and alot more horse power. Even with 2.2 I'd get the g2x because its more future proof....IF i was on T-Mobile. Bit I'm on Sprint and I'm waiting for my EVO3D
Are they gonna announce the wifi version as well? (I doubt it)
I actually feel sorry for whoever has to go to this and listen to Dev and the Cataracs. Aieee.

How to Sing Soul Music
Many people have their special talents, especially when it comes to the arts. Soul music is becoming very popular in this generation, and you are probably wanting to learn how to sing "soul".
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1First, study singers that sing soul, like James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, etc. You might have a particular type of style that one of these great musicians has, that you may use when you learn how to sing their genre of music.
2You may want to also look into the genres of gospel, and rhythm and blues (R&B), for this was the music that soul was formed from.
3Warm up your voice. Breathing exercises, tongue twisters, and saying "la,la,la", in different octaves, may help your voice when you begin to sing.
4Pick a song in the soul genre, preferably sung by one of the soul artists, and memorize the lyrics, then try to sing it close to the way the artist sang it.
5After you are comfortable with this, add in your own special touch, but keep your voice with the rhythm, or you'll go off key, or not even be singing soul anymore.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If you're trying to sing soul, don't add in any pop, rock, or rap parts into the song, you'll ruin the "heart of the music".
Things You'll Need
- An iPad, mp3, computer, or TV (to get music)

Federer sets sights on Olympics
Tennis: Roger Federer hopes winning Wimbledon for a record-tying seventh time can be the catalyst for the most successful summer of his career. He headed away for a short holiday today with wife Mirka and their twin daughters, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, but will next week be hitting the practice courts to prepare for the Olympics.
The US Open follows three weeks after London 2012 and, having banished a two-and-half-year barren run in grand slams, Federer is looking to replenish the trophy cabinet.
The mere fact the Olympics are being held at Wimbledon has in recent years been a source of inspiration to the 30-year-old from Switzerland, who, despite having a doubles gold medal, has surprisingly not had a podium placing in the singles after three attempts.
Federer will be back at Wimbledon in Swiss colours in under three weeks' time aiming to put that right, and London 2012 entered his mind immediately after finishing off Andy Murray in four sets yesterday.
"At first you think, let's start the Olympics tomorrow," Federer said. "But then you realise that you need to come down and need to recover. My physiotherapist travels with me for 90 days a year. I told him that we must make sure everything is possible, so I can play at my best at Wimbledon, the Olympics and the US Open.
"The start has worked out perfectly, and clearly such a victory brings me much motivation and satisfaction."
Now level with his childhood hero Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, whose seven Wimbledon titles came in the 1880s, Federer's mid-season report on the state of his game suggests few problems. He is back to number one in the world rankings for the first time since the 2010 French Open and will have a record-setting 287th week at the top next week.
Asked whether he feels a better player now than he was at 25, an age when he was practically unbeatable, Federer answered: "I hope so. God, I've practised so much that I don't want to be worse five years later. "I feel I have a great game today. But then again, maybe there were times I had such incredible confidence that you do pull triggers and you pull off shots that maybe today I don't.
"I know how hard it is to pull off those great shots and I know how easy it is to miss, so I'm more aware of these things. But I'm so happy I'm at the age I am right now, because I had such a great run and I know there's still more possible.
"To enjoy it right now, it's very different than when I was 20 or 25. I'm at a much more stable place in my life. I wouldn't want anything to change."
Yesterday's triumph was made all the more enjoyable for Federer by the fact his two-year-old daughters were on hand for the first time to watch him land a grand slam. There was high praise for Federer from an emotional Murray, who has now lost his first four grand slam finals, three to the man from Basle.
Murray likened Federer to Brazilian football great Pele. "It's nice to be compared to other sporting greats," Federer said. "I want to leave the game better off than when I came into this great game, which was already unbelievable with the great rivalries we had: Becker-Edberg, Courier and Agassi and Sampras.
"I drew a lot of inspirations from other great athletes in other sports. Maybe (Michael) Jordan, Tiger Woods, Valentino Rossi. They inspire me to keep on pushing further, not just being happy with world number one or being happy with a grand slam title, but maybe to reach for more.
"Obviously I have to drive myself. But you sometimes do need to see someone else do it for a long time so that you feel it is actually possible."

Al Majmoua's vision is to "be the leader in creating an inclusive financial system where all people in Lebanon have access to affordable services." Given Lebanon's diverse population, Al Majmoua lends to all nationalities, provided legal residency.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I only wanted something little more than a bed sheet that would be easy to pull off at a moments notice and put back on. My car is garage kept 24/7 so I only wanted something to keep the dust off. This cover is great for that. I can't comment on outdoor use. The medium size sedan cover fit my 2010 535i BMW just about perfect. Not super easy to put on with one person, but I manage to get it done.

"A PRACTICAL AND PECULIAR GUIDE TO THE NETHERLANDS!" Top 5 Page for this destination Netherlands by ATLC
Netherlands Travel Guide: 35,169 reviews and 94,087 photos
Picture starting top left clockwise:
Cheese / Dutch new (raw) herring / Dutch folks / flower field / windmill / my wooden shoes
I dare to call my Netherlands page very practical. It certainly is peculiar in places But it is not a definitive guide, nor will it ever be! I hope it is useful to tourists and natives alike.
This Netherlands page does not stand alone. It is more a portal to all my other VT pages about Dutch towns, cities and villages. You will find much more specific information on various places.
In fact, apart from this Netherlands page, I have well about 900 tips about 150 towns and villages in The Netherlands for you. As well as more than 500 pictures in 50 travelogues. So take your pick!
I hope you enjoy this personal page about everything I love or hate about my country. Feel free to ask any questions which I will try to answer as best I can. Have fun reading!
- Free entrance to thousands of listed monuments and sites across the whole country. Some of them are private or do not open to the public during the rest of the year. Go to the local Tourist Office for a list of the participating objects in that town. Check the Open Monumentendag for more information.
- Visit our forts and reinforcements during this whole month., Check this website (in Dutch). On the left side is a list where you can at least make out visiting hours, entrance fees and address. Most forts are not open to the public during the year. Only in September.
This section gives you a shortcut to my most handy travel tips.
Scheduler for all Dutch public transportation (including translation of Dutch into English).
Openinig a Dutch bank account and governmental information for foreigners
A travelogue and printable PDF file gives you all the info you need for a layover at Schiphol, including advice to make a flying visit into Amsterdam.
Summer 2010 I've progressed quite far in updating this total Netherlands page, to check broken links and old information. Replacing it with current information. Let me know if you find anything that's outdated. Thanks!
More to be added...
Picture starting top left clockwise:
Dutch coffee machine Senseo Crema (Philips) / Delft Blue heart / Oil platform / Dutch national flag along river Maas / Zoetermeer train station
Under Must See Activities you will find a short impression about Dutch places, the distance and driving directions from Amsterdam and a link to my VT page about that place.
Under Off the Beaten Path you will find some tips with museums and activities which even Dutch people in their own country do not readily know about.
Under Local Customs you will mostly find Dutch recipes and eating habits.
Under Tourist Traps Tips you will find some cultural tips about what the Dutch people are like. Some of the tips are tongue-in-cheek!
Under Accomodations there are some general tips (youth hostels, hotel chains) and one or two hotels per province where I actually stayed,.
Under Restaurants there is not much yet. There are numerous restaurant tips on my VT pages describing places in The Netherlands. In the near future I hope to add one or two restaurant tips per large city and per province.
Under Warnings or Dangers there are also some 20 tips. That doesn't mean The Netherlands is a dangerous country but it does have some tips about how to behave when you are a tourist in our country. And also some practical tips about travelling to/in The Netherlands. Tips have been updated April 2007.
Under Transportation you will find interesting rail info and rail passes.
Under Shopping Tips you will find shops and Dutch products. I also selected a few online websites where you can order Dutch products online like clogs, stroopwafels and Dutch coins.
Under General Tips you will find some history, old maps and anything noteworthy that doesn't fit into other categories.
Under Sports Travel there are quite a few typically Dutch sports and entertainment that in most cases can be engaged in by anyone.
Under Nightlife you will find just one tip. It's a link to a constantly updated website with nightlife tips, partying, disco's, festivals etc.
Picture starting top left clockwise:

Quick overview of my Netherlands tips to make it easy for you to see the titles of my tips at a glance.
Do you want a conversation topic with Dutch people? Current Affairs and Misc. News is the newest travelogue about various current issues in The Netherlands. Be they political, cultural, social or trends. Still very much under construction. I'm open to any ideas!
Dutch Literature my personal choice is one of my favourite travelogues. It's amazing how much old and contemporary Dutch literature is translated into English and other languages. Let me know if you have read one of them!
The travelogue Dutch money before the Euro is my own little monument to the old Dutch coins before the Euro. Many silver 10 and 50 guilder coins and special coins from my collection.
Dutch Art is fairly newly updated with Dutch paintings, old and contemporary. More paintings can also be found in the t'logue "Quick Overview".
The Dutch Architecturë travelogue needs more info!
I'd be happy to hear your suggestions.
ATLC promotes NL abroad shows me in my version of a Dutch costume in various countries abroad.
Sailing Dutch waters has a few pictures of my sailing trips and a few old pictures of our boat "Zeeleeuw" (a Carena 36, sold a few years ago).
Theme Parks should all be in tips but haven't gotten round to doing that yet. Nice one for family travel, I think.
Fortified towns have my special interest (I live in one myself - Brielle). I hope to have visited all fortified towns and fortifications in the years to come.
Zoos in NL should also be in tips. Full info for the time being is in the t'logue though.
The travelogue Hats is just a little silly hobby of mine.

Two area Highway Patrol Troopers were recognized at the Greenville office for going above the call of duty.
Trooper W.K. Bennett received the crime control and public safety commendation award and the Highway Patrol Samaritan award for responding and going to the aid of Lenoir County Deputies Allen Pearson and Ryan Dawson who were struck by gunfire.
Also trooper J.N. Wood received the same awards for observing a driver weaving on the highway.
He made the stop and realized the driver was in a medical emergency. The trooper administered sugar which saved the driver who was a diabetic.
Trooper Bennett said he is still shaken up by the loss of Deputy Pearson and preferred not to speak on camera.

Re: spleen (17 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi there, we found out that my mom had CC because of the blood clot in her spleen. It caused her alot of pain, and that's what prompted her to go the ER. Further testing revealed she had CC and the blood clot. It is very common to form blood clots when you have cancer. They just put her on blood thinners to help break it up, and then she had to stay on them to prevent future blood clots.

Re: Hi I'm new around here! (18 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Damamma I am also from Toronto, and I am wondering if you have seen anyone at PMH? My mom was treated there. She also didn't have any measurable tumors, they said that her particular type of CC was what's known as cellular, therefore cyberknife was not an option for her. Maybe you should get a second opinion at PMH, there are one of the top 5 cancer research centers in the world. Good luck with everything.

Topic: Mom passed away on April 5th (16 replies, posted in In Remembrance)
My beloved mother passed away on Easter Monday, April the 5th at the young age of 56. She first became ill in November and everything went downhill since then. She was diagnosed with stage 4 CC in December with metastasis on the omentum. She was on Chemo for a bit, but many treatments were canceled due do various reasons with her health (low WBC's, low protein count etc). 2 weeks before she died she was admitted into palliative care at PMH in Toronto, Ontario. The goal was to help her build up some strength so that she could return home to continue with chemo treatments. Well she never made it home. 1 week before she died she had a CT scan done which showed that the tumors on her omentum had grown from 1cm to 4cm in a matter of 3 months. Mom was very weak, she needed assistance to use the washroom, and she needed help to turn over in her bed. She stopped eating for the last 2 months, other then soup broth. She said she always felt really full. Her ascetis was really bad and she had a perm catheter inserted in her abdomen to help drain the fluid. 1 week before she died her doctor told us that her prognosis would be weeks. 4 days before she passed we took her outside in her wheelchair, and she was so happy to be outside for a bit, she closed her eyes and tilted her head back, and soaked up the sun. Even though we knew it would happen soon, I still felt shocked when the nurse called me to deliver the horrible news. Mom was so strong, while she was going through all of her treatments, and even when we found out her prognosis was not good, she never complained at all. In fact the day she died she asked the nurse to tell us not to visit her, and she asked the nurse to put a sign on her door saying "no visitors", she asked the nurse to lay her on her back, and place her rosary beside her, she asked her to remove her pajama pants and 15min later the nurse went to check on her and my mom told her to leave her alone. 15min later the nurse went to check on her again and she was gone. She died at 10:30am, and my dad usually visited her everyday at 11:30am. She somehow knew that she would did at that moment, and got into position for us. I miss her so much.

Re: Mom's not doing good (23 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Thank you everyone for all your well wishes. The meeting yesterday did not go good. Mom's prognosis is weeks, I asked if that means less then a months and doctor said yes, she also added that it can also be days, however, she thinks it is closer to weeks. Mom doesn't know the prognosis because she asked not to know, so we are all trying to stay positive in front of her. She is feeling very weak and dizzy right now. Her BP is 90/60, but we are unsure if that is related to the disease taking over. The doc said it may be so low because they just removed 5L of fluid from her ascites. It is hard to write this all out, but I wanted to keep you all updated. Thanks for listening.

Topic: Mom's not doing good (23 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi everyone. My 56yr old mother was diagnosed with stage 4 CC on Dec 23/09. We're from Toronto, Canada, and she is being treated at one of the top 5 cancer centers in the world.
She is really not good right now. After her diagnosis it was like she almost immediately lost interest in food. Getting her to eat has been a struggle for the last 3 months. She has tried many different types of meds, but nothing makes her want to eat a heavy meal. She is rapidly losing weight. Last week she was weighed and she only weighs 98lbs, not including her tumors and fluid buildup - pretty scary.
She has been on gem/cisp chemo combo. But it seems like she was never able to have more then 2 cycles in a row. The doctors would always postpone treatments due to low WBCs or low proteins. She is in palliative care right now and she just had another CT scan done. It appears as though the chemo was helping to break up the tumor located in her liver but the tumors she has on her omentum have grown from 1cm to 4cm, and there is is new mass located behind her womb. In other words chemo is not working and my mom is so weak that treatment has to be stopped. We were told that one more chemo treatment would probably kill her. My mom is so weak she can't even go the washroom on her own, in fact she can't even change positions in her bed on her own anymore. Once in awhile she sits up in the wheel chair, but she is now using O2 to do so.
She also has really bad ascites. She had a perm cathater inserted into her abdomen area, there is a valve at the end of it, and the nurse just hooks up a bag and turns the valve and the fluid drains. Yesterday 5L were drained.
It's hard to believe that 5 months ago she felt great, andwe had no idea she was ill.
We are having a family meeting this afternoon at 3 with her Oncologist.

Re: My dad is getting worse (26 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about dad. Your dad sounds similar to what my mom's going through. She was also very constipated, which caused ALOT of pain for her. She is now taking a prescription laxidive daily, and she is able to have a bowel movement now once a day. I'm sorry but I don't know the name of the drug, but maybe you could ask your doctor about it.

Re: Cancer caused blood clot - Coumadin/ Warfain (5 replies, posted in General Discussion)
A blood clot is what led to mom's diagnosis. This also happened with my grandmother when she was diagnosed with cancer. Apparently blood clots are common when someone has cancer.
My mom's blood clot was in her spleen, and was very painful. She was and still is on blood thinner injections (I'm not sure what the name of the drug is) she has to give herself one needle daily. The blood clot is now broken up but she is still on the injections as a preventive measure.

Re: Dad Diagnosed at 81 - Ontario, Canada (16 replies, posted in Introductions!)
A break is the best thing for my mom. She is so weak right now. She has lost 25lbs, and you must also consider that somehow she is losing weight but gaining alot of fluid. She had 3L drained today. Draining the fluid doesn't seem to do much for her in terms of increasing her appetite.
She will have a CT scan done tomorrow at PMH where she is staying. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the results back. We are hoping that the few chemo treatments will be enough to see a difference but the doc pretty much told us that you'll know the chemo is working if the fluid buildup gets better - and in her case it's getting worse. Once we know if the docs will want to continue with chemo i will mention homeopathic medicine to her. If it ends up being our only hope, it's better then nothing.
My mom also has no appetite. There are many pills that can help with this. My mom has tried many that don't work for her, but she is on something new now for the past couple of days, and she seems to be eating a bit more. I can get the name of it if you want.
I sincerely wish you and your dad all the best.

Re: Swelling? (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Is your dad on chemo? my mom has really bad swelling too, and we were told that it is a side effect of chemo. However, when she skipped chemo treatments the swelling still continued to worsen, so I'm not sure exactly what the cause is. The doctors don't seem concerned though, they just recommended that she keeps her feet elevated.

Re: Dad Diagnosed at 81 - Ontario, Canada (16 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Hi there, I doubt we will cross paths as I don't attend my mom's doctor appointments, I have 2 small kids at home, so my dad takes her to all of her appointments.
The doctors will have a better idea about your dad once he is staged. My mom is only 56 and she has stage 4 CC. The chemo combo for this type of cancer is very aggressive. They tried it for my mom because of her age. It looks like chemo may not be much of an option for her anymore as it is making her very weak. She is currently staying at PMH on the 16th floor, palliative care. She is so weak she can't even sit up on her own. She has not been able to complete more then 2 cycles of chemo in a row because her proteins, or WBC's, keep dropping. The docs said that 1 more chemo tx would probably mean the end for her. She currently weighs 98lbs, and has pretty much given up eating. Does your dad have ascites? (fluid buildup in the abdomen) my mom has it really bad, today they are inserting a perm cathator so that she can be drained more often. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions email@example.com

I'm not sure exactly. I have to talk to my dad about what exactly my mom's doctor said. I was under the impression that it would be a procedure that can be carried out at home, with a nurse visiting her to empty the bag. I can't seem to find any info on it because I don't know the name of the procedure. Thanks so much for the replies.

Topic: Question about Ascites (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My mom has stage 4 CC. Her ascites is really bad. She gets it drained and each time they remove 4.5L of fluid, and it seems to return after only a few days. The doctor mentioned inserting some type of tube to drain it into a bag. Does anyone have any info on this procedure? Thanks in advance.

Re: Gemzar and fever and low blood count - can anyone relate? (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi there, I can't answer all of your questions. I can answer the one about the blood count though. My mom also has a low white blood cell count. Her doctor told us that the chemo kills the cancer cells, but it also attacks healthy cells, and as a result her white blood cell count is affected (this is because WBC and rapid growing cells)
Also about the appetite, my mom doesn't have an appetite, and we are always trying to force her to eat something. She has already lost alot of weight because of this. If he is drinking boost then that's great, my mom was drinking ensure, but she is so sick of it, she can't drink it anymore.
Good luck, I wish you all the best

Re: Scab on bellybutton (4 replies, posted in General Discussion)
No my mom is not experiencing any itching. She has had this scab since about 2 weeks before she was diagnosed with CC which was in Dec/09. Her doctor didn't suggest any cream or anything for it, she just said that it was related to the disease and left it at that. I saw the scab yesterday and it has replaced her entire bellybutton. Hopefully someone will know a bit about this. Thanks for your responses.

Topic: Scab on bellybutton (4 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi, I'm more of a lurker then a poster, but I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about CC and scabs on bellybuttons? My mom has stage IV CC and her bellybutton is covered in a big scab. Her doctor told her that it is related to the disease but wasn't very specific. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Re: New diagnosis of CC- so many questions! (11 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Hi there, I am sorry to hear about your mom, my mom was diagnosed in December/2009 She is stage IV so surgery is not an option. She is on chemo though she is on gemcitabine and cisplatin. We are not from Alberta but we are in Toronto Ontario. I would seek a second opinion if you can.
