Tony Bennett: Amy Winehouse Knew 'She Wasn't Going to Live'
Tony Bennett, who recently came under fire for his 9/11 comments on 'The Howard Stern Show,' made another bold statement while appearing on Jon Stewart's 'The Daily Show.'
Bennett is on the promo trail for his chart-topping 'Duets II,' which features 'Body and Soul,' the final recording singer Amy Winehouse ever did. It's obvious that people are going to ask him about his interaction with the singer, who died at 27 on July 23.
Stewart asked the crooner if he had an inkling that Winehouse was in any sort of physical or emotional trouble, since Bennett has been around since the '50s and has seen it all. Stewart asked if the singer could "feel it" from another performer. For example, with Winehouse, if Bennett could sense trouble or if it was just "all business" when he entered the studio with her.
Bennett answered carefully and said, "She knew she was in a lot of trouble, that she wasn't going to live."
How sad that Winehouse was prophetic about her own demise. It's probably just as hard for Bennett to promote their beautiful duet in light of her passing.

Stop Taking Jeremiah 29:11 Out of Context
March 22, 2013
Thom Turner is program manager at International Justice Mission. He is a graduate of Rutgers University (MA in English) and Cairn University (BS English Ed., BS Bible), and blogs at ... Read More
It's written on graduation cards, quoted to encourage a person who can't seem to find God's well and doled out like a doctor explaining a prescription: Take Jeremiah 29:11 a few times, with a full glass of water, and call me in the morning. I think you'll feel better.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'" Jeremiah 29:11 tells us—possibly one of our most beloved, yet most misunderstood, verses in the entire Bible.
Sure, it might make a person feel better, but this verse as we often prescribe it is being taken completely out of context. It doesn't mean what people think it means. It's time to back up and see what the author of Jeremiah is actually saying.
We misinterpret Scripture when we are too familiar with the passage to look at it with fresh eyes.
When it comes to reading the Bible, we can sometimes be so familiar with the words on the page that we read them, but we don't really understand them. We see the words and hear the words, but we don't make any sense out of them. Familiarity can breed laziness, and so many of our misunderstandings about the scriptures happen because we are too familiar with the passage to look it with fresh eyes. If we would come to the Word of God with fresh eyes more often, we would realize that some of our most common interpretations of Scripture passed down to us don't make much sense when viewed within the context of the passage.
Like any author worth his salt, the writer in Jeremiah begins by stating the subject of the passage: "This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon ... " (Jeremiah 29:4).
This verse, quoted to countless individuals who are struggling with vocation or discerning God's will, is not written to individuals at all. This passage is written to a whole group of people—an entire nation. For all the grammarians out there, the "you" in Jeremiah 29:11 isn't singular, it's plural. And you don't have to be a Hebrew scholar to realize that "one" versus "many" is a big difference.
And the verse just before it is perhaps even scarier. For in Jeremiah 29:10, God lays down the specifics on this promise: that He will fulfill it "after seventy years are completed for Babylon." In other words, yes, God says, I will redeem you—after 70 years in exile. This is certainly a far cry from our expectation of this verse in what God's plans to prosper us really mean. He did have a future and a hope for them—but it would look far different than the Israelites ever expected.
So what? Some of you may be thinking. Even when the verse is taken out of context, it still offers value, right? God does know the plans of individual people, so it's just as well to keep prescribing Jeremiah 29 for those seeking God's plan for their life, right? Well, yes and no.
We need to let the Bible speak to us, not allow our own personal bent to speak into the Scriptures. If Jeremiah 29 is speaking to the nation of Israel, and not just one person, then we should start with the truth in the Scriptures. Context matters—God speaks at a particular moment in time, to a particular people group, for a reason.
We need to let the Bible speak to us, not allow our own personal bent to speak into the Scriptures.
What this means is that God has plans for a whole group of people, namely the nation of Israel. And if we read on in the Scriptures we find that this promise was fulfilled: those in exile returned, and the nation of Israel was restored for a time. God made a promise through the prophets, and that promise came true.
But that's not the end of the story, either. There is something to the out-of-context prescriptions that so many make using this verse. God is a God of redemption, after all, and He wants to redeem people and put them on a path of wholeness, just as He wanted the nation of Israel to be redeemed and whole again.
As John Calvin says about this passage, the prophet is speaking not just of historical redemption, for that period in time, but also of "future redemption." For the Israelites, God listened to their prayers when they sought Him with all their heart, and in His time, He brought them out of exile.
But how does any of this apply to us today? Can we still take heart in such a beautiful promise—even though it was spoken to people long ago, people in a far different situation than ours?
First and foremost, we are all in this together. This verse does not apply to isolated individuals or to a broad community. It applies to both, together, functioning as one. The image painted here is one of individuals in community, like the Body of Christ which Paul talks about. Here are a bunch of people, worshiping God together, hoping for a future redemption.
The theologians Stanley Grenz and John Franke explain in their book Beyond Foundationalism just how a community "turns the gaze of its members toward the future." The future in Jeremiah is one that is bright—one that everyone in the community through prayer and worship seeks as their collective future hope. Many of us want to desperately know the plan that God has for each one of us as individuals, but let the prophet Jeremiah remind us that it's not all about us, and it might not look like what we think.
Even more important than our decision about which college to attend, which city to move to or what job offer to take is the future hope of the Kingdom of God foretold by the prophets and fulfilled in the reign of our now and coming King. In this way, the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 is bigger than any one of us—and far better.

I want to thank you so much! All of this time I was thinking, "Not only does this passage have powerful spiritual meaning for my husband and myself but it is also an especially poetic sounding verse! I feel full of God's love!" But, now I can let that go because you have shown me the "truth." I can't just read love into the bible when it pleases me. I may only feel God's love through the Bible when a scholar approves.
(ok i admit sarcasm is a weak tactic but you have rufffled my britches)
Look, I spent my time in grad school, I learned to deconstruct, re-contextualize and argue both sides of the theoretical arguments concerning the relationship between author, text, and reader. I was only studying criticism and theory of theatre but I did my fair share of time with texts of faith. You need to seperate your academic side from your how to interpret spiritual text side. Seriously-this is the actual word of the Lord-you have to be a little less smug when pointing out "errors in interpretation." I am allowed to seek and hear God's love wherever I seek it. It is ok if I feel like He is speaking directly to me. You are obviously a super sharp guy who likely sports an impressive CV, you HAVE TO BE AWARE of the damage we have done through the millenia when we begin to tell people the Bible must be understood in "a certain way." I could understand if you were pointing out passage that people used to justify hate, prejudice or subjagation of another. But in this case you are bursting people's God love bubble and it comes across as offensive and kind of mean spirited. Sir, go forth and share the light! Use your blessings of intellect, knowledge and skill to correct the misuse of God's word to validate evil-it's EVERYWHERE! Just leave the stuff alone that makes people feel good and have hope....no reason to mess with that. In the end it's about Love....there is nothing else.
This is a very interesting article and some good points of truth in it. We really do need to understand the scriptures in context to what the original authors, ie Jeremiah, was saying to his people when he addressed them. HOWEVER, I also like very much what Nate Fox (commenter her) said so eloquently in his reply, which is just as true.
With this being said, I think that we can take old or new testament scriptures, ie Jerm 29:11, which was meant to be a comforting prophesy to the nation of Israel at that particular time period and later fulfilled, in context with God's will for each individual believer IN CHRIST. For instance; does God want each one of us who reside IN CHRIST, to have a future and a hope? Does God have plans for each of us who make Him Lord of our lives? Why, sure He does! The new testament is full of scriptures that confirm our hope and future in Christ. So, if this is true, then God would still honor this beloved old verse of Scripture in Jeremiah that people stand on. He wants for us to stand on the scriptures for hope! Otherwise, he would not have had the Apostle Paul write:
2 Tim 3:16-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
The key is living your life IN CHRIST on a daily basis in order for God to honor these promises in our lives. You cannot live your life like a non believer living in sin (Mon-Sat) and expect for God to honor Jerm 29:11 in your life on Sunday? Thus, as Nate quotes:
2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
As for the prosperity message and standing on those scriptures; you have to do this in context with the rest of God's Word too. For instance, if you want to prosper, are you giving a tenth of your income to the storehouse? Are you being honest and keeping your word to your customers and associates? Is integrity the most important virtue in your business affairs or are you deceptive with others because of your lust for money ? God's blessings will never reside with a lying two faced thief, no matter how many scriptures he is standing on until he truly repents and turns his life around!
God honors His principles as stated in NT and well as OT above all things and He will honor every scripture if you are honoring Him with your life! He wants our lives to overflow with abundance to make a point to those who don't believe. What He doesn't want is for us to covet wealth above His will for our individual lives. For this would violate the Ex 20:1-5.
So, if you are IN CHRIST (obeying the scriptures), you can say "yes!" and "amen!" to ALL His promises as stated in the Word for your life and stand on them!

Well so much for that bit in the Gospels about Jesus giving us abundant life... something or other.
I agree that christians should not quote it as a personal promise for jobs and promotions and prosperity and our soul mate. But while it is not a personal promise for individuals, it still does show us God's heart for his people.
I also believe that the church was born into a state of exile in a foreign culture that is often hostile to our values and beliefs. And in that sense, I do think the passage at least has an indirect application to the church in exile (wherever it finds itself).
What about the part where God says plans to prosper and not harm us? Does that apply to us today as well?
Quite frankly the comments by Ashleigh Dowden made me laugh. She may be disillusioned by the bursting of her bubble but hey ho. Truth is Truth. You can't put truth where there is no truth. I read this verse and had it chucked at me in church and my spirit recognised immediately that this was not specifically for me. We are told not to take verses out of context and to read them in the passage. Well I did. It was speaking to the nation as a whole. Get real. Your bubble is burst. Get over it and choose another verse to love yourself up. there are plenty of them and they really do apply. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE TRUTH IN WORDS.
So do you believe God is saying He has no plan for you? His thoughts toward you are for evil? Maybe they are minimally kind...unkind...unsure? He doesn't quite know what to think about you...when He thinks about you He scratches His head and says, "Hmmm...I just don't know." ABSOLUTELY NOT! God says you are His beloved...you are an adopted daughter of the Most High God and He is well pleased with you. How do I know that? I don't know you...how can I say that? Because the Bible tells me we are one with Christ...we are His, He is ours. When God looks at you He sees Jesus. He sees your spirit and if you've been born again you've been made new...a child of God. You have the righteousness of Christ. The person at your church was giving you hope...reminding you that you are a child of God. God is the same yesterday, today and forever...what He did for them, He will do for you. The enemy came to steal that word away from you. He ONLY comes to steal, to kill and to destroy.
John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
And THAT's the TRUTH.
Blessings! ~jackie
Loved the post,
I was just lead by the Spirit to study this, and what stood out to me was the fact that the YOU he was talking about was not just Israel , but the OBEDIENT Israelites!!! The disobedient ones stayed in the land and God sent pestilences and famine their way (see verse 16 -20). Obedience to God's voice is alway the keys to His blessings, but obedience does not always look like a bed of roses. This it is why it is important to build your trust in the Lord and to know HIs voice.
GOD Bless
I'm sorry you read the verse "in context" as only speaking to people thousands of years ago.
I read it knowing God is the same yesterday, today and forever...He is no respecter of persons. What He did for them He will do for me IF I put my trust in Him and in His promises. This is one of those promises.
The "context" I believe we need to look at is one of God saying His thoughts toward us are good...His plan is good...we can choose a different one (and we often do) but His is good.
All scripture is useful...and God can speak individually to believers however He chooses. The veil has been torn...we can go boldly to the throne room of God. Nothing has been taken "out of context" when the passages are exactly the same. To be "taken out of context" would be more like taking 2 completely separate verses and weaving them together to say something all together different. That's not what people are doing here. When someone quotes Jeremiah 29:11 it's just like saying, "See here, what God did for them? He will do the same for you! He loves you...He has a good plan for you." The bigger issue is not that this was about a group of people. The bigger issue is that people usually don't quote the couple of verses following 29:11. The ones about praying to Him and seeking Him...Jeremiah 29:12-13 "Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me and I will listen to you. And you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart."
If you don't believe Jeremiah 29:11 can be used today to give us hope then I wonder if you believe that you can pray and He will listen? Do you know you can seek Him and He will be found? God absolutely wants you to know these things...ask Him, He'll confirm it. =)
Telling someone God has a good plan for them doesn't mean everything will always go their way. God's ways are higher than ours. But it is a good verse to give hope to someone who feels like they are lost...a reminder that God has not abandoned them. That's what FAITH is all about...the substance of things HOPED for.
Blessings! ~Jackie

WCCP redirection on ASA 5520
I currently have WCCP redirection setup on my ASA 5520 to redirect to an ironport on ip address 10.11.1.10. The ASA inside ip is 10.11.1.1 and the ironport is setup for transparent redirection to that IP. This all works well and the Service Identifier i'm using for WCCP is 95.
I am now creating another WCCP group because on my ironport I have 4 interfaces so I wanted to use them for our admin network. So I created an ACL on the ASA for our admin traffic and I want to redirect that using Service Identifier 94 to the ip on the ironport of 10.11.1.22. But I can't get traffic to redirect, instead I see the following:
10ASA-LAN1(config)# sh wccp

You can see that ID group 94 is the one I'm having difficulty with. All messages are denied and I'm not sure why? I can still get out to the web, my traffic just isn't being redirected to the ironport?

Finger Slayer - Christmas

All Android games categories
by: RV AppStudios • 2.2K
Published: 2012-09-24, by Ana Gracia.
Finger Slayer is a popular game that arrived to Android and consists of a simple task: place your finger on the guillotine circle and remove it before the blade drops: not too soon, not too late. The longer you wait, the higher the score but be careful.
There are two game modes, the guillotine and the saw, whichever you prefer for cutting your finger off. The game is actually simple, you just need to pay attention and improve your reflexes. However, besides being fun at first, it soon gets pretty boring and repetitive, as there are no challenges other than trying to surpass your score. Of course, you can always dare your friends and compete with them to see who gets the highest score.
RV AppStudios is the developer of Finger Slayer, the Christmas version and other several games for Android that you might also enjoy. The graphics are correct and the game is funny, try it out and see if you can beat the guillotine.

Toshihiro Wakui hand forges this series in Shirogami #2 (white steel) in a cladding of stainless steel with a 'D' shaped red ebony and horn handle. Super easy to sharpen to an amazingly fine edge with a light and thin profile.
White steel is a very fine grained carbon steel made from a very low contaminate iron loved for it's ease of sharpening and ability to take a very fine razor sharp edge. White steel is a favorite of sushi chefs for knives in which a very fine finish is essential. Not the easiest steel to forge and temper properly, white steel done well is a testimony to a smith's skill. White steel is fairly reactive and requires care to avoid rust.

In the October 2009 issue of CM, as well as on the cover, we included the work of Daniel Johnston. At the time, he was mid-way through a very ambitious project to make 100 large jars in his wood-burning kiln in Seagrove, North Carolina. In October of 2010, the project came to fruition after five firings in his 90-cubic-foot kiln transformed 11,000 pounds of local clay, 25 gallons of glaze and slip, 30 cords of scrap wood, and 800 pounds of salt into 100 large glazed jars. The pots were numbered in the order of production from 001 through 100. This numbering system allowed a clear tracking of the artistic evolution, demonstrating an exploration of form through extended production.
This article is featured in Ceramics Monthly magazine's March 2011 issue.
To get great content like this delivered right to your door, subscribe today!
This project, like many of its kind, percolated for a long time before it actually became reality, and was an amalgamation of ideas that sprouted from a wide sampling of Johnston's artistic experiences. It was largely derived from Johnston's experience living in Northeast Thailand in the village of Phon Bok, where he worked with Thai potters producing big jars on a large scale, but as we all know, making is one thing and selling is another. The jar project was intended to show how large pots can be produced in North Carolina using the South East Asian model. In this way, Johnston created a bit of a social experiment as well as an artistic and physical challenge. Would the pottery-buying public, even in a place with as rich a ceramic history as North Carolina, support pots that spring from a function that is rooted in a different culture (the water jars of Thailand)? The short answer: Yes. At 11am on October 22, 2010, all 100 jars sold in 17 minutes, and Johnston took orders for an additional 70 large jars. Here's to more of the same, Daniel!

Devils can't rebound from slow start and fall to Islanders, 5-1
UNIONDALE, N.Y. – The Devils aren't ready to send up distress signals — yet.
Coach Pete DeBoer's positive approach — or, more accurate, refusal to be negative — following the Devils' 5-1 loss to the Islanders on Saturday night is one he employed multiple times last season when the team struggled.
Given the positive response he often received from his players on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals, it was difficult to blame him for taking that tact Saturday.
Yes, the Devils were victimized by John Tavares' fourth career three-goal game. Yes, they gave up three more power-play goals (that's eight in the past five games). Yes, they allowed three goals in a span of less than three minutes for the second consecutive game.
And, yes, they have lost two of their past three since a five-game winning streak and did not play close to a complete game in any of the three.
The most you got out of the Devils in their postgame comments, though, was that their penalty kill didn't do the job. DeBoer wasn't happy with the outcome but didn't think the final score was indicative of the way his team played.
"I don't think it was a 5-1 game, but that's what the scoreboard said, so we'll have to deal with it," DeBoer said.
The Islanders also scored three power-play goals in their 5-4 overtime win over the Devils on Jan. 31. At the end of the second period Saturday, they needed a total of 30 seconds of power-play time to produce two goals – one after just 18 seconds of Bryce Salvador's high stick and the other after just 12 seconds on Henrik Tallinder's trip.
"I don't think discipline cost us the game," DeBoer insisted. "Yeah we took some penalties, yeah they scored on the power play, but I really liked our first period. There was a five, six-minute stretch there in the second period that the game got away from us. I thought after the first we could have been up by a couple, and it's a different game."
It was scorelesss until the Islanders scored three times a span of 2:20 in the final 3:14 of the second period. Tavares scored two of the goals and assisted on the third by Matt Moulson.
The Devils were nearly done in a by a similar rapid series of breakdowns in the first period Friday against Philadelphia, giving up three goals in a span of 2:36 to turn a 1-0 lead into a 3-1 deficit. They rebounded to win that game, 5-3, though.
All they could muster for a comeback Saturday was Marek Zidlicky's power-play goal 8:47 into the third that cut their deficit to 3-1. But Tavares completed his fourth career hat trick with another power-play goal with 5:15 remaining in the third that made it 4-1.
"The bottom line is our PK wasn't good enough," Salvador said. "That's the difference of the game."
Making his fourth start of the season, Devils goaltender Johan Hedberg (28 saves) wasn't nearly as sharp as he was in his first three, which included a 22-save shutout of the Islanders in a 3-0 win here on Feb. 3. Still, he survived David Ullstrom's penalty shot that hit the crossbar with 3:15 left in the first period and held the Isles off for nearly two periods.
Tavares finally broke through with his rebound goal with 3:14 left in the second. Hedberg made a stick save on Brad Boyes' shot from the right circle but left a rebound in the left circle that Tavares fired home.
Then, Tavares swatted in a Moulson rebound for a power-play goal with 1:51 left in the second to make it 2-0. Tallinder's trip with 1:06 left in the second put the Isles on the power play again and they cashed in quickly again with a goal from Moulson with 53.4 seconds remaining. Tavares passed the puck behind the net to Boyes, who fed Moulson alone in front for a shot past Hedberg's glove.
"You never like to lose, but we did a lot of good things today, and we could have just as well been up 3-0," Hedberg said. "I think the puck luck I had the last game we won here, [Isles goalie Evgeni] Nabokov got today. The pucks were sticking to him and on my end they find the holes."
BRIEFS: LW Mattias Tedenby was on antibiotics and expected to be released from a Glens Falls, N.Y., hospital by this morning after being struck in the face with a skate during the Albany Devils' AHL game Friday night at Adirondack. Tedenby was cut from above his right ear to across his chin and underwent plastic surgery Friday night into Saturday morning. … Ilya Kovalchuk picked up the secondary assist on the goal for his 800th career point.

The aftermath of the Australian Open -- as well as the exceedingly long men's final that brought it to a close -- makes this as good a time as any to focus on the long drawn-out tennis season that follows the first major of the year.
Several players, not least of them, Rafael Nadal -- more than a willing participant in the six-hour trading of baseline shots that went well into the 1 a.m. hour at the Championship match in Melbourne last month -- have expressed their grievances about the 11-month long tennis season. But the Spaniard, who seems to take an almost singular pride in making his body pay a heavy price for tournament titles ("bring your body to the limit of its chances" as he described recently in his own unique way) is hardly the only one complaining.
World no. 1 Novak Djokovic, who got the better of Nadal in the marathon match, has also been pushing for a shorter season despite his prevailing invincibility, which includes an astounding 77-6 win-loss record since the beginning of last year. Britain's Andy Murray and American Andy Roddick are among those who have voiced their concerns, even going so far as to threaten an ATP strike to resolve the issue.
This is no new concern. Players of yester years -- Jim Courier, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras among them -- agree that this has been an ongoing problem in professional tennis for decades. But this new urgency to revise the schedule may have more to do with changing player styles than the season's duration itself.
As the New York Times' Juliet Macur pointed out, today's players don't necessarily play more matches as they do longer, more physically demanding ones.
The six-hour match between Djokovic and Nadal may have made the record books for the longest final in grand slam history, but the exceedingly defensive, error-drawing playing styles of the world's top two players virtually rules out a lesser contest between them. The duo's notoriously long intervals between points notwithstanding, no major clash between them in recent years has been a cakewalk in terms of length or physicality.
Or as Daniel Seidel more brutally puts it in The Atlantic, "Nadal and Djokovic, playing a grueling series of matches in the last couple of years on hard courts, have likely shortened each other's careers."
Roger Federer, still in form at age 30 and in little danger of a premature end to his career, is the only player at the top who hasn't complained about the lengthy season. And why would he? Federer has not missed a single major tournament due to injury or fatigue since 2000. Federer's professional tennis dominance over the last decade has allowed him to hold the record in what history may well judge as even more significant than his tally of grand slam trophies: his streak of reaching 23 consecutive semi-finals and 31 straight quarters in majors, a feat that no other player has come close to.
Federer took some heat about his silence on the issue of schedule reform from his less fortunate peers who have battled injuries and burnout, most notably, the otherwise amicable Nadal, who expressed frustration that his Swiss rival -- who has come to be regarded as an ambassador for the sport -- wasn't speaking out against the ATP calendar.
It's no coincidence that the latter seems to glide on a tennis court with the greatest of ease while the former's grinding, grunting style, accompanied by a relentlessness to chase every ball, sends palpable shockwaves through his knees, even as he goes about trading injuries for trophies.
Amid the current crop of players, the Swiss man represents a dying breed, emphasizing finesse, artful shotmaking and mental acumen over the power-driven baseline game that seems to exemplify the tennis player of the 2000s. As Jake Niall aptly (if somewhat dramatically) notes, such players have "taken once-genteel tennis into the realm of extreme sport, like mountain climbing without oxygen."
The extreme-sport mentality that has crept into this gentleman's game may have more to do with tennis technology than the players themselves.
In recent years, the combination of racket frame and string science have meant that a player can hit the ball harder and faster than ever before, while still keeping it in play. The latest fad in tennis (other than Milos Raonic) is the synthetic copolyester string. Stiffer and more slippery than traditional nylon or natural gut, it can generate extraordinary topspin by sliding sideways and imparting less friction on the ball.
These strings have virtually defined modern players like Nadal, who rely less on deft athleticism and shotmaking prowess than on brute force and new technology to add more power and variation to their strokes. Polyester strings have brought about a transition similar to the shift from wood to graphite in the seventies, when the graphite racket's larger head, strength and lightness allowed players to swing faster to achieve higher speeds.
Polyester strings today generate angles and dives that were only possible through subtlety of touch just a few years ago. This has allowed the "new string generation" -- as Federer calls them -- to easily counter net-rushing big servers, since the high spin on returns is hard to answer with a volley.
Talking of the demise of the serve and volley, another big change happened in tennis almost a decade ago. Wimbledon, the only grass-court major, and up until recently the Mecca of the serve and volley player, decided to slow down its courts.
Until the nineties, the lower bounce of the ball on grass offered an almost unquestionable advantage to big-serving, quick-thinking players at the All England Club. Known as one of Wimbledon's many whims (amid rained-out matches and the sudden appearance of royalty), the slick, natural grass and its fickle blades could throw up unpredictable bounces, favoring quick thinking and improvisation from players. The low-skidding balls made groundstrokes tricky, encouraging players to charge the net and take balls early.
This was what enabled Pete Sampras, the classic serve-volleyer who was also known for his tactical brain, often thinking and adapting his game mid-match, to win 55 out of 56 matches here in eight straight years.
But in 2001, the lawns of Wimbledon underwent a makeover, switching to 100 percent perennial rye grass for easier maintenance. This made the turf firmer and drier, likening it to clay and hard courts, and resulting in higher, more predictable bounces. Even the split second achieved through the higher bounce resulted in longer points, dispelling any advantage for quick-thinking tacticians who had reigned supreme for years.
And, in turn, allowing defensive, power-baseliners like Rafa Nadal to gain ascendancy.
So, while graphite supplies the power and synthetic strings achieve the angles, a lot of tennis these days is about new and changing technology. The jury is still out on what came first. Did players start playing a powerful ground game due to the tennis gear available on the market? Or did they choose power groundstrokes with heavy spins over traditional playing styles, which involved taking risks by coming to the net or thinking your way through a complicated rally, prompting the tennis industry to follow suit with technology?
No matter what the answer, we can safely say we are not going back to the serve and volley. "No, it's not coming back. It's a different game now," says Nick Bollettieri (who some credit along with his star pupil Andre Agassi for the rise of the power baseliner).
Nadal and Djokovic, while blessed with enviable endurance and amazing abilities to defend and prolong matches, have effectively threatened the brilliance of mental acuity and shot-making on the fly, exemplified by more cerebral players like Federer and Andy Murray, who favor tactics and touch over the mere strategy of drawing errors while running down and wearing out opponents.
In fact, one could argue that "thinkers" like Federer, who rely on good court sense and anticipation combined with an ability to mix up shots are effectively stifled by the sheer power and endurance of defenders like Rafa and Novak, for under the pressure of a big match with high stakes, it's far easier to rely on mindless physical ability than mental acumen.
Little wonder then, that for tennis purists and Federer fans (the overlap is staggering!), it's hard to digest these changes that shift the focus from natural skill and ability to power and endurance -- likening tennis to almost every other sport that pits brawn against brawn.
Shortening the season -- if it happens -- may just be the final step in legitimizing this transition to power tennis.

UPDATED: 4 NY Firefighters Shot, 2 Dead, after Responding to Blaze
One firefighter was able to flee from the shooter under his own power. The others were pinned down on a narrow strip of land between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay until a SWAT team arrived.
The apparent shooter was pursued by police and is dead from a gunshot wound, Pickering said. It is unclear if the wound was self-inflicted.
The two injured firefighters are being treated for "serious injuries," Pickering said. One of the responding officers received a shrapnel wound. His condition is unclear at this time.
After the shooting, the fire grew to engulf at four homes and one motor vehicle. Another four homes were damaged.
"These firemen are part of our family. You go into a fire with these guys. To see them go down with something like this is totally unexpected. We are in shock," Billy Gross, fire commissioner for West Webster, told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
After the shooting, dozens of area residents were evacuated, with police searching them as they left, the newspaper reported.
"Miserable thing to happen this time of year," Mark Johns, a state assemblyman who represents the area, told local NBC station WHEC. Johns said he knew some of the firefighters who were shot.
Michael Damico was among those forced to flee, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
"The whole strip's been evacuated," Damico said. "They're evacuating all of the houses and going through them."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a statement after the shooting, offering his "deepest condolences."
"All of our thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of those who were killed in this senseless act of violence," Cuomo said. "New York's first responders are true heroes as they time and again selflessly rush toward danger in order to keep our families and communities safe.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Friday, September 1, 2000
The Hudson Valley Community College football team opens its 2000 season at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 2, hosting Lackawanna Junior College. The Northeast Football Conference matchup will be played at Veteran's Memorial Field in Troy. Veteran's Memorial Field is located on the Hudson Valley campus, directly behind the McDonough Sports Complex.
Hudson Valley is led by a host of players with local roots. Gary Jones (Ravena) is the starting tailback and Jason Owens (Albany) is slated to get the nod at quarterback. Linebacker Tyler Frank (Lake George), wide receivers Paul Zurlo (Mechanicville) and Shawn Miller (Troy), defensive back Jim Canfield (Troy), offensive lineman Dan Bailey (Colonie) and kicker James Muscatello (Cohoes) are also expected to see extensive playing time.
Hudson Valley finished with a 4-4 record in 1999. Lackawanna, a Pennsylvania team, was 6-5.
Hudson Valley's football program was established in 1969. At the time, Hudson Valley was one of only two junior colleges in New York to field a varsity football team. Since then, nearly 300 Hudson Valley football players have earned scholarships to four-year schools and 15 have gone on to play professionally. The Vikings competed in the Coca Cola Bowl in Iowa in 1980. In 1996, Hudson Valley posted an 8-0 record, part of dominant stretch that included 15 straight victories.

Real hCG Diet Drops, Pills or Injections
Non Homeopathic hCG Pharmaceutical hCG ONLY!
Phone/Email Support with a hCG Diet Doctor, Nurse or Coach
This is not one of the usual posts we do here, but a visitor had a really bad experience with an HCG site, so I told him I would help spread the word to our visitors to help them avoid the same experience.
He wanted to purchase HCG and did so from a site offering a free trial (it was not a site that hCG Diet Journey recommends nor a site that left a blog comment, we checked). It was only $5.95 and he didn't think much of the purchase or the charge. That was until the site charged him about $179.95 for the purchase a few weeks later. He had to google the sites number and then call and ask about the transaction. He basically got nowhere in his attempts to resolve the matter. The site referred him to their TOS (Terms of Service) and they said, "Good Luck," as they were not going to refund him money.
I think this is a SUPREME example of a scam, fraud, or at the very least, misleading advertising and I hope others will avoid doing business with the company. Really, any company who is offering hCG free trial needs to be avoided as it has also been my experience dealing with my now 22 year old daughter, that things that are 'FREE' are not. I've had to deal with number of 'FREE' ring tones that made my cell bill go up about $9.95 a month and other 'FREE' things she purchased that cost money later.
Also, hCG itself isn't the most expensive product on the market, but it does cost money, and it is more than $0.00 or $4.95.
Be careful, the Internet is safe, but as the saying goes, one bad apple…
I have read of this certain issue at hcg drops doet com, and it is clearly true that there are frauds circling around. these sort of blogs helps in lessening the chances of getting ripped off.

I'm not really sure if there's any point to posting here, not many people these days use film cameras but, gotta start somewhere...
2 weeks ago my EOS-10D got stolen, long story, we got the insurance money and are now buying another camera.
The 10D was my first digital camera (and a good one at that) but my 35mm (Minolta Dynax 505si Super) NEEDS to be updated.
So has anyone got any recomendations for film, I am particulairily interested in the EOS-3.

Assuming that you've got the money (which you obviously have!) The EOS 3 is a fantastic camera. I am biased as I am a Canon user too - I have an EOS 600 and just bought a 300 (body only for £99). When the 10d was stolen did your lenses go too or do you still have some?
That said, being a current Minolta user, I assume that you'll have lenses for it. In which case why not consider the Dynax 7 or 9 to use your current lenses.

i shoot professional surfing with a 3 and a 1v. the 3 is a workhorse of a camera and hasn't failed me yet and i'm in pretty severe conditions: salt, ocean water, sand, etc. i also use it in a housing to shoot from the water. the AF is lightning fast. the metering is excellent. the viewfinder is large and bright. without out the booster it'll shoot just a hair over 4 frames per second. with the booster, it's about 7.

You should be able to pick up a mint 2nd-hand EOS 3 for around £500 in the UK. They're a bit cheaper on Ebay - more like £400-450.

FRANKFORT - Democrats maintain a comfortable lead in registered voters in Kentucky, but Republicans are closing the gap.
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced Thursday that Republicans registered an additional 44,852 voters since the 2012 general election while Democrats added an extra 6,811 voters.
Democrats still outnumber Republicans in Kentucky by more than 476,000 voters. But since November 2008 - when Democratic President Barack Obama was first elected - the Republican Party of Kentucky has added 142,312 voters while the Kentucky Democratic Party has added 10,571.
Registered Democrats now make up 53 percent of all voters, down from 57 percent in 2008. Republicans account for 38 percent of all voters, up from 36 percent in 2008.
"Kentucky is about to do what we've been saying it's going to do: it's officially going to become a red state," said Steve Robertson, chairman of the Kentucky Republican Party. He said many people are frustrated with the president's policies. "I think these numbers certainly support the theory."
Kentucky is one of the most divided states, politically, in the country. Democrats control the House of Representatives and four of the five constitutional offices, including the governor and attorney general. Republicans control the state Senate, five of the six congressional seats and both U.S. Senate seats. And the state has voted for the Republican candidate in the last four presidential elections.
"There is no doubt that the president is not popular in Kentucky. That is a fact," Kentucky Democratic Party chairman Dan Logsdon said. "That's why we have to focus on issues instead of personalities, and that's what we do. People support the governor's efforts to bring affordable health care. They support the effort to raise the minimum wage. They believe women ought to be paid as much as men for the same job. Those are the issues that resonate with folks."
But the fastest growing group of voters is not Republican or Democrat. Since November 2012, the number of "other" voters - which includes independents and third party voters - has increased by 16,530 voters, or 7.5 percent.
Altogether, a record 3.1 million Kentuckians are registered to vote for the May 20 primary elections. The number beats the previous record of just over 3 million registered voters for the 2012 general elections. Women make up 53 percent of all voters.

Position is ALWAYS a factor, however it isnt the only one.
Skill level, character, likelihood to sign, injuries, are all included factors when deciding one player over the other.
Now say, you have two prospects you simply love. Both have the potential of being key players, both have tons of character, both want to sign with your team. Now, you only have ONE pick, so how do you choose? Thats when position comes into play.
So lets take your Toews-Wishart example. If you are team that wants a defensman, sure, Wishart has Toews beat. But dont forget to consider the rest of the factors. It was clear back then that Toews skill level were a tier higher than Wishart. Put all the factors together and you gave Toews at tier one and Wishart at tier 2. Now if Wishart was at similar skill level, then position comes into play
To summarize, you are oversimplying things. you are right, position should not be the only factor teams use to pick players, but it is a factor nonetheless.

There's a story. Of a man named Kevin. Who was busy buying a new car for his wife. He found one and it was perfect. He put a large sum of money down and financed the rest through his credit union. While at the car dealership, he was finishing the paperwork with the 'finance and insurance specialist' and he was presented with an extended manufacturer's warranty. Having purchased one on a previous vehicle years ago and it not working out so well he passed on the opportunity. However, the 'finance and insurance specialist' was clever and then offered a money back guarantee if the warranty was never used during the warranty period. WOW, what a great offer. So, Kevin purchased the extended warranty for $2,800.
Side Note: Did you know that in most cases you can cancel any warranty purchase within 60 days without penalty. Did you also know that the warranty companies typically don't send you your paperwork with all the details until about 45 days, long after you've lost that … why did I buy that warranty feeling.
45 days or so later this man named Kevin receives his warranty papers with all the details. Low and behold there is a catch. Not a deal-breaker catch, but a catch none the less. The money back guarantee on the warranty (if no portion of the warrant is used) can only be claimed for a refund at the end of the 36 months (3 years) … and Kevin only has a 30 day window in which to claim the refund or else no money coming back to Kevin.
So, what to do … how in the world will Kevin remember to collect on that guarantee within those 30 days three years from now? His email calendar (outlook) isn't reliable enough, is it? The calendar on the wall of his office is replaced each year. A reminder on his cell phone perhaps, but what if his cell phone gets lost or he replaces it.
Kevin thinks to himself … this is too important to forget. He starts thinking to himself .. "if I don't need to use the warranty in the next three years and I want $2,800 back … how much would it be worth for me to remember?"
Side Note: Whether you agree with purchasing extended warranties is not the point. The point is many people do have situations in their lives where they would consider it very important to be reminded of certain things.
So, Kevin searches for an online service that can help him remember at just the right time. However, there isn't one that he feels confident he can trust. Maybe there's an opportunity here with an 'upscale reminder service' who's responsiblity is to MAKE SURE the reminder gets through. Maybe it's phone, email, text, snail-mail, a visit to my door? Ok, a visit to his door might be extreme, but you get the point. Would Kevin pay $50 for this service ... you bet.

This is Blanke Edge Protector Trim in Natural;Aluminum; Satin Gold Anodized; Extruded
All Metal Trims are 8' in length.
Extruded brass: Can be installed in both interior and exterior applications. Recommended for floors exposed to heavy loads (i.e. forklifts and heavy stocking carts). Exposure to moisture may cause a slight tarnishing which can be removed by polishing.
Aluminum, natural and anodized silver: Applicable for interior installations, especially floors exposed to heavy foot traffic and light to moderate loads. The anodized finish inhibits oxidation and increases chemical resistance.
Aluminum anodized gold: Provides a decorative finish for interior applications such as tiled walls and fireplaces. Not recommended for commercial floor applications because the gold finish can be scratched or worn off by heavy traffic.
Use Blanke Edge Protectors of Metal for sill and corners in hospitals, commercial kitchens or hotels where the ceramic tile edges are exposed to mechanical stress.
For a smooth transition use Blanke edge protectors where two different floor surfaces meet (i.e. ceramic tile to carpet, ceramic tile to wood).
Blanke Edge Protector is available in many sizes.
Please choose the size of your metal from our drop down menu above.
For all Blanke Trims, we charge 23.00 flat rate shipping inside the Continental US on any amount ordered.

What do you do with an artist like Iggy Azalea? She's a white Australian emcee who's currently got one of America's most popular rap songs in "Fancy," a swagger-packed ode to Southern crunk. But, as Brittney Cooper points out at Salon, white artists don't have to appropriate black culture to be good rappers. And Cooper calls out black male rappers like T.I. for promoting a white female artist like Iggy Azalea over black women:
Forty years ago, Black male race leaders told us that race was the only thing that mattered, feminism be damned. Now in this political moment of My Brother's Keeper, in the cultural arena, rap crews like Lil Wayne's Young Money Cash Money and T.I.'s Grand Hustle Entertainment throw their weight behind white women rappers without a second thought. From this, Black women are supposed to conclude two things: 1) race does not matter, except if you are a Black man and 2) if Black men do anything for any woman, it's the same as being hospitable and/or progressive to every woman.
By riding for white female rappers to the exclusion of Black women, Black men collude with the system against Black women, by demonstrating that our needs, aspirations and feelings do not matter and are not worthy of having a hearing.
