Gran Torino
Rating & Content Info
Why is Gran Torino rated R? Gran Torino is rated R by the MPAA for language throughout, and some violence.
The film's script contains a continuous stream of strong sexual expletives (some used in a sexual context) and derogatory racial slurs along with profanities, scatological slang, crude sexual language and terms of Christian Deity. Various gangs threaten individuals. A young man is burned on the face with a cigarette. A female character is raped and beaten (though the crime takes place off screen, her bruised and bloody body is seen). Other characters are pummeled, shot at and threatened (some blood is depicted). One man is shot repeatedly in the chest. A page from a pornographic magazine is briefly shown (no nudity and limited details are seen). Some scenes of crude sexual innuendo are portrayed along with frequent depictions of drinking, smoking and other tobacco use (including a teen smoking). The horrors of war are also briefly discussed.

Comments about Obermeyer Otis Sweater Men's, Black/True Red, S:
I was looking for a mid-layer offering more than the mundane stuff you see at Dick's Sporting Goods and local Ski Shops...(North Face, Patagonia, etc.) I usually don't spend more than $70 for a sweater or other type of mid-layer. But, this sweater caught my eye. I thought to myself "Go for it, quality pays for itself in the long run, and I really like the color/design." So, I took a chance and ordered it. Because of my stocky build, I usually have to try on a bunch of stuff and hope that something fits. Well, this sweater fits perfectly and the sleeves weren't too long. It fits true to size. I'm an XL (stocky). It's well constructed and designed to breathe too. I'm beyond satisfied with my purchase. Peter Glenn shipped it quickly and it arrived in perfect shape. It was well worth the money!

Eryngium leavenworthii Sea Holly by Thompson and Morgan seeds an attractive annual originating from the North American prairies. This species has the unusual characteristic unlike other Eryngiums, to flower quickly from seed in the first year. Each plant will produce spectacular spiky glaucus foliage which changes to a rich purple colour on the cones and bracts, followed by reddish-purple tinge in the autumn.
Ideal for adding structure to annual borders, as well as making a decorative long lasting cut flower.
Height 50-90cm (20-36in)
Sowing Instructions
Sow February to April or September for overwintering. Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Seal container inside a polythene bag or place in a propagator at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which usually takes 5-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Growing instructions
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 45cm (18in) apart. Overwinter September sowings in a coldframe and plant out the following spring.
Flowering time June to September

The HeartbreakMature
People have told you of the broken families. They have explained, with hushed voices and downcast eyes like people at a funeral, how children were taken from parents and parents from children; they have spoken of the tortures and the deaths and have written pages of statistics, expecting meaningless numbers to convey the sheer horror of the human deaths. They have told you of the high walls around the ghettos. They have explained about the Jews, the scapegoats, and the disabled or retarded children: those unworthy of life.
You know all this, but what they have not told you--what they could never have told you--is of the heartbreak. The soul-tearing grief of the partings and the agonizing wait for news. The way those left behind stared out of the window, longing for a sign, and those taken stared out at the moon and hoped only for freedom. But they know that their only release will be death: will be the end.
What they have not told you is of those forced to kill their own kind, driven mad by guilt and pain and unable to think clearly, the senseless humiliation and ritual betrayals. They did not explain how bonds were broken and others forged, and they never mentioned the chains that each of these murderers had to wear on their hearts after that day of killing their own family.
I will not give you the sugar coating. I think you are old enough, now, to cope, and if it hurts then that is good. This is the evil nature of our human race, and you must accept that; this is the history of our world and so it cannot now be changed. I am sorry if you long to cover your ears, to make it all fade. It will not. These are the people that must be remembered, no matter how much it costs. Because oh, how much greater was their pain than ours!
It is their pain that you now read. I beg you not to look away.

Canada economy looks strong, defies global gloom
By Louise Egan and Ka Yan Ng
OTTAWA/TORONTO (Reuters) - Strong housing starts and a marked improvement in the business outlook revealed on Monday that the Canadian economy is humming along at a healthy pace, adding pressure on the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates.
The central bank must weigh evidence of a frothy domestic economy against a bleak global backdrop, including signs of economic stagnation in the United States, the country's dominant trade partner.
The hiring intentions of businesses were at a record high in the second quarter and the outlook on sales, investment and financing was upbeat, according to the central bank's second-quarter business outlook survey.
The survey results suggest more companies are operating at full capacity but do not fear generating inflationary pressures.
"That is consistent with our expectations that growth in the third quarter will bounce back from its lull in the second quarter," said Emanuella Enenajor, an economist at CIBC.
"And the added indicators of capacity pressures suggest the bank has more justification to begin gently removing monetary stimulus in the coming months," she wrote in a note to clients.
Housing starts for June surged well past market expectations, monthly data from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp showed on Monday, adding to two months of upward revisions and raising second-quarter growth expectations.
Starts rose 1.7 percent in June from May to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 197,400 units. Continued...

TUF 15 Fighters Preview
With the new season of TUF kicking off tomorrow night, i've done a complete breakdown of the fighters, their records, and the strength of their records. I've ranked them purely based on their records, not really their skillset (Jared Carlsen for example is ranked 31 of 32 as he's just 3-0 and beaten nobodys, but Eddie Bravo has said he's the best rubber guard he's seen).
Hope it helps give you an idea fo who's who for tomorrow!
*Edit: Sorry its small, if anyone wants the excel document of it then message me and i'll e-mail you it :)
Awesome thanks for putting that together. I am definitely watching but might have to record because of Bellator tomorrow night.

Chapter IX
Somebody was observing CHARbot very closely. This somebody, when CHARbot had landed near the site of the explosion, had relayed into his vidcom, "The dragon has arrived." This was part of a terrible operation, Operation Replicant.
Meanwhile, 9051 was down in the Energy Core room, guarding an ancient passage. 9051 knew something was coming from behind the sealed door of the passage. It would reach the Energy Core in 6 hours. All 9051 had to do was wait.
CHARbot had begun his search for 9051 from the RMF. As he approached a row of supposedly inanimate robots, one of them lashed out at him. Before CHARbot could recover, another one stunned him. A few minutes later, when some Microbots reached there, CHARbot's unconscious body had disappeared.

Simon Mignolet pledges his future to Sunderland
SIMON MIGNOLET last night pledged his future to Sunderland after his agent had claimed the keeper may have to quit the club to boost his international prospects.
Our ambition is for Simon to play somewhere that he can engage in competition with Thibaut Courtois for the place in goal for Belgium
The Belgian international has lost his place in the national side to Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan to La Liga second-placed side Atletico Madrid.
It prompted Mignolet's agent to warn the Black Cats that unless he can re-establish himself as Belgium's No.1, he may have to move on.
The 24-year-old, however, has no plans to quit the Stadium of Light, where he has become a big crowd favourite since his £2m move from hometown club St Truiden almost three years ago.
Mignolet, crowned North East Footballer of the Year on Sunday, has been in stunning form this season. But while the Black Cats are still not clear of the relegation zone, Atletico could be playing Champions League football next season.
So agent Guy Vandermissen claimed that Courtois was in the driving seat because he's playing for a more successful club.
Vandermissen said: "Our ambition is for Simon to play somewhere that he can engage in competition with Thibaut Courtois for the place in goal for Belgium.
"Courtois is fortunate that he is playing for a team that has been doing well lately."
Belgium, with the strongest pool of players in their history, are tipped as dark horses for the World Cup in Brazil next year and Mignolet is desperate to play a key role.
But in recent months, he has had to be satisfied with a place on the bench with Courtois getting the nod ahead of him.
Mignolet, however, insists he is settled on Wearside and not looking elsewhere. He said: "I am happy at Sunderland, a club I am proud to represent.
"Of course my ambition is to regain the No.1 spot with my national team but I feel I can do that at Sunderland. I was playing as Belgium's No.1 a year ago and hopefully that can be the case in the future."
Arsenal are one of a string of clubs keeping a close eye on Mignolet, while several clubs in Spain and Italy are big admirers of the keeper.
Ironically, Sunderland chief Martin O'Neill is battling to keep Mignolet's understudy Keiren Westwood because he fears for his international future.
Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni recently told Westwood that if he wants to be his country's No.1, he may have to leave Sunderland in search of first-team football.

THREE security guards at Chelsea have been suspended over claims they damaged
the Champions League trophy.
The trio allegedly snuck into the club after hours to take pictures with it.
But the following day a colleague noticed one of the handles was hanging off.
Chelsea then sent the trophy — a replica of the real cup — to a London
silversmith for emergency repairs.
The club has confirmed the site visit was unauthorised and a probe has been
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay is conducting an internal investigation.
The incident comes as a major embarrasment just weeks after the club won the
European trophy.
Despite the importance of the European cup it is believed Chelsea had not
locked up the silverware like most clubs and passed it round Stamford Bridge
in recognition of staff's hard work.
A club spokesman said: "The trophy was accidentally damaged while
pictures were being taken.
"It was minor damage and has already been repaired. We don't make comment
on staff matters."

Very hard to find retired Swarovski Crystal Community Shell necklace with a gorgeous, sparkling, cut and faceted crystal seashell pendant that has a pave rhinestone bale. The pendant measures 1 1/4" and comes on a nice silver snake chain that can be worn from a 15" to a 17" length. It is signed with Swarovski Crystal's trademark swan logo on the back of the bale and on the swan shaped embellished tag near the clasp. This was issued to Swarovski Crystal Society members only in 2007. It is retired and can only be purchased...IF you can find it...on the secondary market...a great example of their workmanship and design. Swarovski jewelry usually maintains or increases in value, and is highly sought after by collectors. Great find!

Windows Installer Verbose Log Analyzer (WiLogUtl.exe)
I, like many before me, have downloaded the Windows SDK, installed it, and moved on to more pressing problems. Other than digging into header files, I had rarely looked at what else might be included. As the builder of the SDK, I now have a vested interest in what is delivered with the SDK, and I thought I'd share some of the interesting jewels I've found.
Installed by default to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\[version number]\Bin\WiLogUtl.exe", the Windows Installer Verbose Log Analyzer is a tool to assist in identifying most critical installer errors, and offer possible solutions to those errors. This tool is available in the standalone Windows SDKs and in the Windows SDK components that ship in Visual Studio 2008.
Upon launching the tool, the user is presented with a history of past logs viewed and a preview of the latest log.
Installer log files are usually stored in the user's temp folder. A quick way to find installer logs is to press the ellipsis (…) button, type %temp% in the file name entry, then press enter. The preview is invaluable for identifying log files when you have a directory full of MSI[random char].LOG files.
After loading the log file, just press Analyze. You will be presented with a dialog that breaks out errors, possible solutions, client and server side details, and allows you to view particulars about the install such as states, properties, and policies. There is also an html view of the log available that color codes all lines into various categories, making the file much easier to read.
The detailed log file view allows you to cycle through individual errors without slogging through an entire installer file. Additional windows display the machine states at the time of the install, view machine and user policies, or look at the properties the MSI is using. Properties are the equivalent of variables in programming.
Additionally, there is an option to view a color coded version of the log in your browser. There are also options to get more information about a particular error, and a brief walkthrough on how to read an installer log file.
You can also run the tool in quiet mode from a command line. This article on MSDN details the command line options to do so.
In coming months, I will be presenting more of these hidden gems. Hopefully, I can find one that will make your life easier one day.

Credit Cards or Debit Cards: What Is the Best Card for Travel Overseas?
The last thing many people think about when planning a trip overseas is how they'll use the money when they get there. Unfortunately, if you don't have that part of the equation covered before you leave, you could end up losing a significant amount of money to fees. That's not exactly how most of us envision spending our travel funds.
So how can you avoid these fees before you go? It all comes down to finding the best way to access and spend your money while you're away.
What's the Best Way to Access and Spend Your Money While You Travel Abroad?
There are lots of ways to access your money while abroad, more than ever, in fact. You could go credit cards only and leave the cash in your bank account to pay for it all when you return. Or you could use your debit card to ensure that you don't accidentally overspend (sometimes that credit card swipe can be a little too easy). But which way is best?
Besides the fact that only you know what will work best for your habits, there are other considerations at play: making the choices that will charge the least amount of fees and that will potentially even earn you money.
Fees to Worry About While You Travel
When it comes to fees and travel, most people worry about the conversion rates. And they should! Depending on where you go, your money could either as much as double in value or go down to half of what it's worth at home. To a point, there's not much you can do about it besides create a budget that keeps that in mind so you aren't blindsided when it's too late.
But conversion rates aren't the only thing that can cost you money while you travel. In fact, the fee that can be the peskiest of all is the foreign transaction fee.
Foreign transaction fees are charges that happen on every transaction you make while you're traveling in a foreign country. While these fees may not sound like much at first (usually around 3% at the most), they can add up very quickly - especially if you're not likely to carry any cash while you travel.
Think about it this way, if you buy breakfast, lunch, and dinner while you're away, that's already 3 foreign transaction fees per day - that doesn't even count buying train tickets or souvenirs or tickets for cultural events and institutions. Multiply that minimum of 3 fees times one week-long trip and suddenly you're paying up to 3% of 21 transactions.
See how quickly that can get expensive?
The math makes this one simple. No matter what kind of card you're using to spend your money while you're traveling in a foreign country, make sure it's one that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees.
How You Can Earn Money While You Travel
Now that you know how to avoid fees when you travel, let's talk about how you can actually earn money while you travel.
Depending on the type of card you're using (or what kind you get if you're shopping for a new card), you could earn rewards for all types of different spending. If you're planning on using a card to make your purchases while you travel abroad anyway, why not earn some points, cash, or rewards for doing so?
If your current debit or credit card doesn't offer rewards - or if you don't usually focus on rewards because you spend with cash - consider the benefits of looking into a rewards card for your trip. Chances are you won't be using cash - so why not get paid for using your card? If it's a credit card, just make sure you pay the balance in full before the interest hits so you don't wind up losing more than you earn.
So What's Best for Travel? Credit or Debit Cards?
Now that we've covered the fees to look out for and the ways to earn, let's get into the real question: whether you should use a debit card or credit card while you travel.
The Pro and Cons of Using a Debit Card While Traveling
If you're using a debit card, you're basically using cash. Whether you enter a pin at the time of purchase or select the "credit" option, that money is coming right out of your account within a few days time.
For someone who doesn't want to run the risk of spending more than planned, this can be a good option. After all, as easy as it is to swipe a card, there is still a finite money in your bank account to contend with.
The other benefit of using a debit card is that it also functions as an ATM card. So if you need cash on hand, you can get it with your debit card. Just beware hefty ATM and exchange fees.
The downside of a debit card is that, if stolen, the thief suddenly has access to all the money in that particular bank account. If you don't have a credit card to use as a backup, then that could seriously hamper your entire trip while you wait to get it all sorted out and free up your funds.
- Can't overspend - limited by the funds in your bank account
- Access to cash if you need to withdraw it from an ATM
- If it's stolen, you could be left without access to your money
The Pros and Cons of Using a Credit Card While Traveling
Unlike a debit card, there are far fewer limits to what you can spend. As long as your credit limit is decently high, you have a lot of funds to work with. Problem is, that makes it a little too easy sometimes to spend more than you can afford.
The benefit of using a credit card while you travel is a double-edged sword. You can spend roughly as much as you'd like, but you don't want to spend so much that it will take years to pay off.
One of the best things about using a credit card for foreign travel is that, if it's stolen, you don't have to worry about losing access to your real money. However, you'll still need to have a backup card (whether it's debit or credit) if that happens. Your issuer may still suspend your account while the situation gets resolved.
The con of using a credit card for travel is you won't be able to use it at ATMs to access the cash in your bank account. So if you find yourself at a cash-only establishment, you're going to get stuck if you don't also have cash or a debit card to withdraw some cash.
- You're not limited to the amount of money in your bank account
- If it's stolen, the funds in your bank account won't be compromised
- It can be easy to unintentionally overspend
- You won't have access to the cash in your bank account
The Best Approach Is a Combination of the Two
Since both options have a fair list of pros and cons, the real winner here is to use a combined approach. Rather than asking if you should use a credit card or a debit card while you travel abroad, bring both.
Bringing both a credit and debit card helps prepare you for all the situations listed above - and when you're far from home, being prepared can be a real game changer. But when it comes down to which one you should use primarily, consider your spending habits.
If you're afraid of overspending, stick to the debit card. If you're afraid of fraud, use a credit card. (The credit card won't prevent fraud, but it does prevent your bank account from being accessed in case of fraud.) No matter what you do, choose the option that works best for you in the end.
Don't Forget to Protect Your Money While You Travel
Nothing can ruin a trip faster than not being able to access your money. That's why it's imperative to have some protections in place before you leave. Here are the two most important things you can do to protect your money before you embark on foreign travel.
Tell Your Card Issuer You're Going to Travel Abroad
First of all, call your credit card issuer before you go and alert them of your plans. If you don't, you might find that the first transactions you make abroad get declined immediately. Usually, a card issuer would worry that this type of activity is fraudulent - it's up to you to warn them so they know it's you making the foreign purchases.
In order to do this, simply look up the customer service number on the back of your card or on your card issuer's website. Let them know where you're going and for how long. They can make a note of it on your account so you won't get declined after you go away.
Use a Chip-Enabled Card
This is a tip that's good whether you're buying at home or traveling abroad: use a chip-enabled credit or debit card.
Chip-enabled cards have gotten a lot more popular in the U.S. since so many retail stores have been dealing with data breaches in the past few years. These cards offer a much stronger protection against fraud than the regular magnetic strip cards. And, since most banks and credit card issuers are rolling them out now, it might not be too hard to ask your issuer for one of these before you go.
While nothing is completely perfect, this is another layer of protection you can add to keep your money safe.
Keep Your Personal Items on You
Finally, a protected debit or credit card is one that you know where it is. When you're embarking on adventures, buy a pack to strap them to your body under your clothes. When you're in busy markets, avoid putting them in open purses or your back pocket. When you're sitting down, keep your bags near your feet instead of behind or even next to your chair.
It's not hard for a practiced thief to swipe a wallet or purse. Keep your personal items on you and you'll be less likely to endure theft. Again, a rule that works both abroad and at home.

Alton Baker Park - Pre's Trail
Pre's Trail is a 4.07-mile long running and walking trail which was the inspiration of Steve Prefontaine. Prefontaine's vision was taken from visits to similar trails in Scandinavia. He hoped the trail would allow him to safely train in Eugene, as well as help spread the influence of running in the pursuit of health. After his untimely death in May of 1975, in the fall of 1975, a public-private partnership built the trail in Alton Baker Park as a tribute to him.

The fire began in the intensive care unit of the private SUM hospital in the city of Bhubaneswar in Odisha state and spread to other areas, officials say.
An electrical short circuit is believed to be the cause. Most of the victims reportedly died from smoke inhalation.
Dozens of patients were taken to other medical facilities in the city. PM Narendra Modi said he was "anguished" by the tragedy.
"The fire left 20 people dead and more than 100 people injured. They have been admitted to various hospitals in Bhubaneswar and the medical college in Cuttack," the state's health secretary, Arati Ahuja, told the BBC.
Many of the injured are in a critical condition. Earlier reports had put the death toll at 23.
A strong earthquake rocked North India, including parts of the national capital region. Initial report say the epicentre was in Northern Pakistan and the tremors have been clocked at 7.7 on the Richter scale.
People were seen running out of offices in Noida.
According to initial reports the epicentre has been recorded in the Hindukush mountain region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Hindu Kush earthquake is 7.7-magnitude and 42 miles from Chitral in Pakistan, agencies quoted USGS as saying.
Our bureaus in Chandigarh and Srinagar have reported the massive tremors though no reports of damage have come in.

As a teenager in Palestine, Sami al Jundi had one ambition: overthrowing Israeli occupation. With two friends, he began to build a bomb to use against the police. But when it exploded prematurely, killing one of his friends, al Jundi was caught and sentenced to 10 years in prison. It was in an Israeli jail that his unlikely transformation began. Al Jundi was welcomed into a highly organized, democratic community of political prisoners who required that members of their cell read, engage in political discourse on topics ranging from global revolutions to the precepts of nonviolent protest and revolution.
Forty-five-year-old Walter Baker, recently divorced and downsized out of his airline-pilot job, has elected to enter the wilderness, physically and metaphorically, to review and reinvent his life.

Peace between Arabs and Jews seems forever out of reach, both sides caught in a never-ending cycle of violence and revenge. But while treaties and other top-down solutions have had little lasting effect, peacemakers on the ground are creating real change - within themselves and with their enemies. In Bridges Across an Impossible Divide, American professor Marc Gopin offers an unprecedented exploration of the spiritual lives of Arab and Jewish peacemakers who have evolved deep friendships despite decades of war and suffering on all sides.
In a remote valley north of Kabul, in August 2010, American peacemaker Dan Terry and nine other aid workers were attacked and killed in an event that made worldwide headlines.

When was the last time you got excited about a Russian stock? No mystery there; the new Russia is not the land of opportunity.
Even so, one name stands out in a crucial 21st-century business: online search.
Yandex (YNDX), registered in the Netherlands, is Russia's dominant search engine, holding more than 60% of that market's share.
Are you thinking Yandex might be a Russian Google (GOOG)? Maybe it's more of a Russian Baidu (BIDU): It's by far the biggest player in a fast-growing business in an emerging market.
That sounds great, but let's look closer at Russia. Its story is far different than China's.
The shift to capitalism or entrepreneurialism seems botched. The government doesn't look overly concerned about embracing honestly free markets in any meaningful way.
Russia's biggest industries are oil and gas production and metal mining. Moscow has failed to expand its industrial base. Those in power are quicker to intimidate and punish dissent than to bring its economy into the 21st century.
So now you have an idea why the Market Vector Russia (RSX) ETF, with a year-to-date 13.6% decline, stands fourth from the bottom on the Daily World Map.
If that doesn't scare you from looking at Yandex, let's look at Yandex.
Its last four quarterly reports showed EPS gains of 62%, 45%, 53% and Q2's 47%. Consensus for Q3 predicts a 38% rise.
Revenue growth in those reports came in at 29% to 46%. Look for a 31% rise in Q3 (in ruble terms), consensus says.
Pretax margin and return on equity last year came in at 38.9% and 26.8% respectively. The company has no long-term debt load.
Yandex pays no dividend. But it was holding $940 million at the end of Q2, according to a July 26 research note from Moscow-based brokerage Uralsib.
Management suggested some of that hoard could be paid to shareholders, Uralsib said.
Yandex broke out July 10 from a flat base, the second part of a base-on-base structure. The first base was flawed and awkward. The second — and the more important — was fine.
Yandex climbed 21% from its 28.74 buy point from a shallow, cup-with-handle base, then backed off.
Thursday's action was promising: Yandex fell as much as 4%, then rebounded from the 10-week line to end off just 1% in fast trade.
If the market were in an uptrend, this would be a fresh buy signal and convenient entry.
The Internet-Content group, which includes U.S. and foreign names, held the No. 10 slot out of the 197 industries in Thursday's IBD. It's been hot for months.

Home [Michelle]
Home. I was going home.
I was taken by helicopter to London, where I was ushered into the hospital under armed guard. The FBI weren't taking any risks, and there was always the chance that the Voices might come back to me, although it was unlikely. I had escaped once; I had won. That was the way this worked, right? Or was it?
The press, obviously, crowded around us, trying to catch a glance of me as I hid my face. I did not want to be in the newspaper for being abducted and I definitely didn't want them knowing the details! That would ruin my chances of ever getting on with a normal life.
Somehow, without anybody saying anything, I knew that I would never again be bothered by voices in my head. They had stopped just a week or two after I was taken on board the ship, and they had never started again. It was something I had never forseen and I wasn't sure whether I liked it or not. The sensation was confusing. But at least I was myself again.
"Shelley, will you ever forgive me?" Sophie blamed herself for everything that happened, right up to the Voice children and the abduction. I didn't blame her at all, because she hadn't known what was going to happen when she sent me to the Apollo Hospital.
"There is nothing to forgive you for," I replied. "It wasn't your fault. Stop feeling so guilty." I turned and gave her a big smile and a hug. Though my injuries were severe I had suffered worse, and compared to what I had experienced shortly after giving birth the numerous cuts and scratches were nothing.
"I'm so sorry I put you through that. I should have realised you weren't mad ... I should have kept you at home with us. You could have had a family, Michelle!" Sophie still looked at me like I was something strange and wonderful, as though she couldn't quite believe I had grown up so much during those years without contact.
"I couldn't. Not when Dad didn't love me." I smiled again. "But that's all in the past, isn't it? And I have no more voices. I'm not mad: I never was. But now there's nothing even to suggest it." I shifted around on the hospital bed. "To be honest, I just want to get out of this place and go home."
"Home." Sophie smiled. "Your room is still there. I wouldn't let Nick rent it out. I told him you would be coming back for it soon, the moment you were cured. I didn't realise it wasn't the sort of thing that wouldn't be able to be cured!"
"If you hadn't sent me there, I wouldn't have met Doc." I beamed at her, but there was sadness in my eyes. "Let me tell you about him."

He has been No. 1 in the world in his specialty, men's doubles, for more than 100 weeks. He has 79 career doubles titles and a Golden Slam – champion of the four major tournaments (Wimbledon, French, U.S. and Australian Opens) that define tennis at the highest level, plus Olympic gold. That came in 2000 and he did it in Australia, partnered with fellow Canadian Sebastien Lareau, against arguably the greatest doubles team in history – the Woodies, Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge, the heavy hometown favourites.
His career earnings exceed $10-million, and although he was never ranked above No. 58 in the world in men's singles (in 1999, when he was still a relative pup), Daniel Nestor has career singles wins over five players who were ranked No. 1 in the world at one time – Stefan Edberg, Thomas Muster, Patrick Rafter, Gustavo Kuerten and Marcelo Rios.
The victory against Edberg came in a Davis Cup match in Vancouver when Nestor was 19; his win over Rios in a Davis Cup match in Calgary occurred more than a decade later, long after he'd become a doubles specialist. Indeed, that was all Rios could talk about after the loss. Offered any number of excuses – the altitude, his level of fitness, the dark building, the lightning-fast court – all Rios could mumble, over and over again, was some variation of "but I lost to a doubles player."
That observation by Rios may explain why Nestor – who was born in Belgrade and now lives in Bahamas – hasn't received wider recognition as one of the greatest athletes ever produced in Canada, where he was raised after emigrating with his parents at the age of three. Nestor has been so consistent for so long, but doubles – despite its popularity among recreational players – remains the poor stepchild of professional tennis. As a result, matches are banished to the side courts for most tournaments, even if the level of athleticism can make for a lot of "wow" moments.
Nestor received the Order of Canada in 2010, and this month received an honorary degree from York University, where he has been playing in the Rogers Cup (née Canadian Open) for the better part of two decades.
But remarkably, Nestor's 40th birthday is just around the corner, on Sept. 4, and he and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus are currently co-ranked No. 1 in the world. Nestor played doubles with fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil at this summer's Olympics, but he will be back playing with Mirnyi at the U.S. Open, which begins Monday at Flushing Meadow, N.Y.
When Nestor and Mirnyi won their opening-round doubles match at the Rogers Cup this month, they became the first team to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour finals, the year-end tournament that brings together that season's top players in London and represents the de facto world championship of tennis. Nestor has won the event in each of the past two years, once with Mirnyi, the other with Nenad Zimonjic, his previous partner.
"Daniel Nestor is a legend," said Bob Bryan, half of the iconic American doubles team, the twin Bryan brothers, who have been Nestor's top rivals for close to a decade. "He's shown us all that's it's possible to play until you're 40. Ten years ago I think the oldest guy in the top 10 was 32, and we couldn't believe he was still playing.
"He's an incredible athlete. He's flexible. He's limber. He's still playing like he's 20. That serve that he has is timeless. That serve will probably carry him until he's 50."
The Bryans are the reigning Olympic champions, winners of the Masters 1000 in Toronto, and the most visible doubles team of their generation. But every great rivalry requires a foil and Bob Bryan says that's been Nestor.
"We've been knocking heads for the last 14 years," Bryan said. "Every time you step on the court with Danny you almost feel less pressure, because you know if you don't play your best tennis you're going to lose. It frees you up to go for your shots.
"He's given us a lot of bitter defeats, and we've clipped him in a couple of big ones as well. There is a lot of mutual respect between us and him."
According to Mike Bryan, that respect extends from the court into the locker room.
"He's a good guy on the court and a great guy off the court," he said. "He's beaten us in a lot of tough matches and never rubbed it in. I'm sure we have. We chest bumped in his face.
"But he's one of the most well liked guys on tour. He jokes around in the locker room before tough matches, big matches. We're all happy to still see him playing."
In mid-August, 21-year-old Milos Raonic broke into the top 20 of ATP rankings for the first time in his career, and will be seeded in singles at the U.S. Open. Ultimately, Raonic may be known as the greatest Canadian player ever, if he meets some of his early promise.
But now? Few would argue that it's Nestor, even if the bulk of his success came in doubles.
"I would say there's a pretty good case to be made that he's the greatest player ever to come out of this country," said Hatem McDadi, Tennis Canada's vice-president of player development and someone who played against Nestor at the start of his career.
"He's won Grand Slam titles, an Olympic gold medal, and has been No. 1 in the world. Now, one may qualify it to say it wasn't in singles, but if you look at it really, the collection of work that he's had over the past 20 years, it's pretty incredible, and he would be in the discussion of the greatest doubles players of all time.
"Just look at what he's done with different partners," McDadi added. "Zimonjic hasn't won a Slam before or after he played with Nestor. [Mark] Knowles hasn't won a Slam since leaving Nestor. Lareau won a gold with Nestor. Mirnyi definitely won Slams with [Jonas] Bjorkman and others, but if you look at what Danny's done with different partners, the common factor is Daniel Nestor's phenomenal play. He's remarkable."
So what keeps Nestor going, with so many miles on the odometer?
"I'm pretty competitive," Nestor said. "I realize this is what I do best. I like playing the Grand Slams. I like to try and do well in the Grand Slams. I'm wondering why I haven't done so well at Wimbledon [wins in 2008 and 2009], which is a better surface for me, or the U.S. Open last year.
"So that's a goal of mine, to do better at the U.S. Open and just try and play my best in the big events and in the Grand Slams especially.
"I think maybe when I was younger, I didn't play so well in some of finals that I got to early on, so I feel like I'm trying to make up for lost time, perhaps."
Nestor has seen lots of changes in the game, but acknowledges that his longevity has something to do with being a doubles specialist.
"Obviously you have to work harder to play singles," Nestor said. "It requires a lot more stamina. Doubles is pretty explosive, but the points are a lot shorter and more of a quick-reflexes, quick-thinking kind of thing.
"Over the last eight to 10 years, the game has definitely slowed down compared to the early 2000s and became much more physical. Whether it's singles or doubles, guys are getting bigger and stronger, and hitting the ball harder.
"The balls are slower and the courts are slower, so you have to be ready to deal with longer rallies and more balls coming back than perhaps in the nineties. So for sure, fitness is something I focus on a little bit more in the last few years than actual tennis, I think."
Tennis is a sport that can break down the body. Nestor has had his share of elbow woes – needing a steady diet of anti-inflammatory medication to dull the ache at one point in his career – but mostly he's been able to avoid the catastrophic injuries that have cut short other players' careers.
"He's very meticulous in terms of taking care of himself," McDadi said. "When he was younger, he had a wrist problem and he was out for a while. He actually had to change grips on his forehand. And he did make a comeback after some shoulder problems in the middle of his career there.
"For a while, after he beat Edberg, maybe the second year on tour, he was out for a few months, and that was a wake-up call. But if you look at the last 20 years, he developed such a professional routine and has taken great care of himself. He's become the quintessential professional, in terms of knowing himself and what he has to do to get his body and mind ready to prepare for the tour and the Grand Slams and the Davis Cup."
Nestor won 40 of his titles playing alongside Knowles, an accidental partnership that began in 1994 in Bogota after his father Ray had entered him in singles in a clay-court tournament, soon after the U.S. Open. Nestor and Knowles won the doubles event, and four months later, made it to the Australian Open final. The two dissolved their partnership in 2007, but even after announcing that they would split, still won the French Open that year.
Nestor won 21 more titles with Zimonjic, including his only two Wimbledon championships.
Nestor will evaluate his future at the end of the 2012 season, and his direction will be determined as much by family as tennis. Martina Navratilova, the legendary women's player, won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title one month short of her 50th birthday playing with Bob Bryan, so the twins know something about longevity and what it takes to keep playing into a creaky old age.
"I haven't heard that he wants to retire any time soon," said Mike Bryan, laughing, "so he's probably going for Rio [site of the 2016 Olympics]. "He's probably going to outlast us."Report Typo/Error

It has so much potential, but it just lacks care and attention. There's a pool area and empty bar, that don't generate the guest integration I expect on a hostel. Also cleanliness and maintenance were an issue. There are not many better options in PE, but still it could be much better with little effort.

The Hippo is close to the centre just a 10 minute walk downhill (but a 20 minute walk back uphill!!) It's OK. The better dorm is the one upstairs. The downstairs dorm I stayed in had the tiniest toilet/shower cubicle in it and the room smelled damp and musty. The kitchen is fairly well equipped but water dripped through the ceiling onto the worktop from the upstairs shower.

I really wouldn't recommend this hostel. The owner seemed annoyed you were there. Lots of single men (workers) staying in the dorms.
