A skull fracture in football was virtually unheard of until it happened to Petr Cech. The Czech Republic international plying his trade with Chelsea at the time, had a horrific collision with Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt in the opening moments of the match. This much-talked about incident made Hunt (in)famous as Cech had to be stretchered off the field and was diagnosed with a depressed skull fracture!
He underwent brain surgery and doctors ruled him out for the rest of the 2006-07 season. But, contrary to all expectations, Cech returned to competitive action within three months of the incident wearing a rugby-style protective headgear! He was back to his best after a few initial struggles and lived up to his reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He admitted that he couldn't remember his injury and perhaps it might have helped him recover better from it. Cech has had his share of injuries too, afterwards in his career, mainly to his shoulders, back and knees.
He was Chelsea's number 1 for a decade and went down the pecking order only last season when Chelsea decided to end the loan deal of Thibault Courtois to Athletico Madrid. The Belgian became Mourinho's first choice but made it clear that he wanted Cech in his team. Now 33, Cech still yearns for first team football and did well in his limited appearances last season to show that he hasn't lost his edge.
And the unthinkable happened! Cech wanted to move despite Jose Mourinho's reluctance to let him go and that too, to arch rivals Arsenal. He was sold to the Gunners for a reported fee of £10.9 million. Despite interest abroad, Cech chose Arsenal as he wouldn't have to relocate his family to a new city.
Arsene Wenger is obviously a happy man and will be banking on the experience of Cech to bring stability to the Arsenal backline. Arsenal fans will be hoping he is the answer to the goalkeeping conundrum at the Emirates since Jens Lehmann's departure in 2008. 'Big Pete', a nickname given to him by John Terry for his 6'5" frame, has proven to be strong character in the past and will be banking on it to take him through at Arsenal. He has been hailed as a great signing by for Wenger by experts while Chelsea fans would be hoping he doesn't become a thorn in the flesh for the Blues.

I know how you feel. You have had it up to HERE! You feel like you have reached your ultimate online dating limit. You have swiped right for every Bumble, Tinder, and Hinge potential match under the sun, and each date you entertain you are even more convinced that only true wankers are attracted to you and you are never going to find love (hell, just someone to booty call). I truly feel your pain, and my god we have all been there! Believe it or not, I am here to tell you to pick yourself up, migrate from your sad solo Netflix and chill, re-do your winged eyeliner after a day at the office, and stick to the goddamn dating disco! Here's why:
This is the only time to get down and date!
You're young, you're single, you're ready to mingle (I am sorry I said that but it's just so true). This is literally the only time in your life you are going to have a few years to swim in an open dating pool, where no one really cares about who you are going out with and what you are doing with them. In our ever-digital age, millennials are dating at least two to three people a week! What does this mean? Get your experiment on! Enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences. Do you want to look back and dream of these single years and picture yourself on the couch watching How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days? I didn't think so.
It gives your life some much-needed balance
You need to have some balance your life. Sure, we all need a break from dating at times (especially online *eugh*), but when you are single, dating should be a part of your routine. Don't scoff – how else are you going to meet the love of your life? Sometimes making time for a good old Bumble drink is truly hard (not to mention painful), especially balancing friends, family, and your career. Finding time to date can be stressful! On the same note, it balances out your crazy life – and you need it not only to keep your chat on point (seriously), but also to keep your head in the dating game.
You learn more about what you want in a partner
Each date you embark on you will learn more about what you do and don't want in a partner. The more people you meet in the dating pool, the more you will be able to pinpoint the kind of person you are looking for. Whether we are talking mannerisms, physical appearance or sexual appetite, you will become aware of what you do and don't like. Most importantly, it will make that eventual Ryan Gosling of your heart much easier to find.
You will continue to meet new people
You may go on a date with a guy who tucks his pants into his top and wears flip-flops and feel absolutely nada downstairs, but if you sit down and get to know that lovely lemon you could attain a best friend! You could make a great work connection! You could even find a potential soul mate for one of your single friends on the couch at home! Worst case scenario? The guy is a real dickbrain but you get a free dinner and gain another follower on Instagram. Nothing wrong with that!
You are one bad date away from meeting the best
Well, you knew this part was coming. If you don't date, you aren't going to meet the person that knocks your socks off. In our dreamy millennial existence, we all have this secret hope that fate will intervene and we will fall in love with a mutual friend or lock eyes with a sexy stranger at the bar who will end up being our mate for life. Guys, there is like a 5% chance that is going to happen. Online dating exists. And it exists for many reasons, one important one being that when people go out nowadays with their friends, they are not on the hunt for their soulmate. They are literally going out drinking with their friends. What do you think online dating is for? Stick to the game. That person is just around your proverbial corner!

There seem to be new models a-plenty, not only here on MyBBWsite making me wonder what is in the air at the moment.
Maybe it's to do with the financial climate, as we could all do with a little more money right about now. Maybe it's the associated lack of employment, as we always need a career, especially in among the current fiscal fuck-up.
Whatever the reason, I, for one, am glad that so many perfect plumpers are pursuing the path to porn.
The only problem is that the pictures appear faster than the chubby chick's statistics, meaning I have no measurements, be they length or weight.
Plumper Pass have found Harley Ann, a pretty young thing that is not afraid to jump straight into her new job. A blow-job! And a titty fuck. And a full on fuck…
What can I say that PlumperPass do not say better about this fabulous, fun fatty.
Meet Harley Ann! Breathe it in fellas, we got a young and chubby lovely bbw for today's update! This sweet and sexy plumper didn't even skip a beat, so hot and thick and perky and ripe! Wow. Harley Ann has a sexy walk with her round tight ass. She goes slow motion with the water hose and gives us a fantastic tease! Those pink nipples and that tight pink fat pussy! We introduced her to JeremyXXX and they get busy. Check out that hot fucking action in the pool!
I am sure we'll get to see more action from Harley Ann soon, and I look forward to sharing the numbers of her wobbly weight and glorious girth.

Dildo-cum-Dick Delivery
One of our favourites, Samantha38G (AKA Sam38G, Samantha Anderson) is a busy lady and has a membership at a club.
Not a health and fitness club, but a swingers club – which is, surely, just as fit and healthy as the aforementioned – and she is taking some time out of her full schedule with a visit.
Plopping her 219lb (15st 9lb / 100kg) sumptious body onto the bed, all her curves and cuddly bits are in need of some working out… sexually.
Making with the masturbation, the finger fucking and clit caressing, that 58-34-48 body needs something else. Something more.
Thankfully, there is a room-service menu available, and sexy Sam wants a sex-toy. A vibrator. A dildo. Something to fill her tempting twat…
Of course, the dildo is no replacement for a good, hard cock. Sam soon has her hands and mouth around the delivery dudes' dick and he cannot wait to help her scream with delight as she cums and cums. Her beautiful, bounteous body, bouncing boobs and belly giving us all an orgasmic treat.

Vylette Vonne Plump Up The Volume
Plump up the volume… of the water in the pool, when this new SSBBW slides in for some fun with her beau. I apologise if I gave you the 1987 song Pump Up The Volume. (That's a lie. I thought it was funny.)
Plumper Pass seem to be attracting new girls like flies to a honey-pot, at the moment. And here's exactly that, in the form of one Vylette Vonne.
How do we think we say that? Violet? That's what I'm going with in my head.
Vylette is certainly a big woman and she is definitely beautiful. I mean really gorgeous.
With 44DDD boobs and a butt big enough to bounce a baby on, Vylette is all that and more.
As with other new models, we are seriously lacking in details of this heavy honey.
I cannot tell you any more about Vylette other than her height of 5'4″. Her hair is brunette, as we can see, and her eyes are brown, again as we can see. And that bra size of 44DDD, so her chest measurement is 50″.
With her cum-to-bed eyes and her comfortable, chubby folds of flesh, you can see why the boy in the water leans in for a cute kiss, let alone getting deep down dirty with the plump princess.
I am besotted by the beauty of voluptious Vylette. I keep on going back and looking at her. A lot.
That lucky boy? He emerges from the pool with his prong on and soon gets enveloped in Vylette's fleshly fatty folds.
Her thick ass and thighs, her super saggy stomach and trembling tits all get moving in fluid motion as she blows, titty-fucks and gets a pounding, as she should, being such a supreme example of pudgy, plump, perfection.
Did I say that she is beautiful?

Brand New Billie Austin
This is Billie Austin.
The petite plumper is but 5″ tall, but what she may lack in stature, she certainly makes up for with girth.
Billie is new to PlumperPass and possibly to porn in general. I can find no other sources of information when I scour the internet for her.
Measuring 52-42-50, 42H Billie has no recorded weight that I can locate, either.
In fact, the only info I have on bulbous Billie is from her PlumperPass profile page.
Sucking and fucking in a spit-roast,the tattooed totty get's it so hard and fast from these two barbecuing boys, that she squirts all over the big, hard cock, in sheer orgasmic joy.
It's a horny wet-dream to watch.
See Billie and other hot BBWS on WebCam at Plumperpasslive.com
Glory Glory Heavy Humper
Foxy BBW Glory Foxxx is a spectacular 245lbs (17½st / 111kg) and at 5'4″ tall, she carries that weight low and large.
The tubby, tattooed temptress has a big, bountiful butt sticking out behind her like the continental shelf; her 42DDD bouncy breasts out front and her wobbly tummy in the middle.
A green-eyed goddess, glorious Glory measures a gargantuan 48-38-52.
There is some form of massage going on in this video, but I am unsure as to who is the massager and who is the massagee. Starting with Glory pressing her bulky elbows into her client and climaxing with the customer caressing Glory's copious curves.
Some baby-oil applied all over, Glory is slip-slidey and shiny. Beyond temptation for the chap, he inspects her Foxxxy folds and pokes his penis into her Gloryhole, thrusting against her big, bulbous bum and setting off a wonderful wobble all over her jumbo-sized body.
SSBBW Jaymez Ryder
SSBBW tattooed temptress, Jaymez Ryder hails from the US.
She measures 56-50-58 and wears a 44 K-cup bra.
Jaymez weighs 295lbs / 21st 1lb / 134kgs) which is hugely heavy, especially when you consider she is only 5'3″ tall.
Height is not a matter to concern yourself with, when jumbo-sized Jaymez is on the bed.
Having a wank and making herself wet and willing, Jaymez is begging to be filled and reaches for her trusty dildo, to stuff into her puffy cunt.
Just at the right time, a useful cock appears. attached to a gagging-for-it guy.
Much flesh-slapping, fat-wobbling fun ensues, making our redheaded, ravashing BBW moan with plumper pleasure.
See Jaymez and other hot BBWS on WebCam at Plumperpasslive.com
Jogging With Julia
Julia Sands (AKA Julia Juggs) is a 26 year old Latino-American.
She is 5′ 5″ tall and weighs 180lbs (12st 12lbs / 82kg).
Measuring 47-35-39 and (occasionally) wearing a 40 F-cup bra, she certainly is a whole lotta Rosie.
Out on a jog, Julia is chaffing her fat thighs together and jiggling her flabby tummy and terrific tits as she goes.
There's only so much weight a human ankle appears to be happy to bear and, as such, our jug jogger is soon flat on her fat ass/arse.
Obviously, she soon gets herself to the ER and, just as obviously, the doctor can't keep his hands off her. He is but a man, after all.
As the sucking and fucking commences, we can see each corpulent curve get into motion, each skin-slap swishing as if it were water in a balloon.

Big Blonde Blue Eyed Babe
This big, busty babe is, as I am sure you know, Tiffany Blake. You may also know her as Bailey Blake, Bailey Santanna or Buffie.
Tiffany is one heavy looking honey, but I am only seeing her statistics as 42-32-38 and 180lbs (12st 12lbs / 82kgs). She looks heavier and plumper than that to me.
But then, she is but 5′ 4″ tall and that helps her hefty hiney and buxom bosom hang hot and heavy off her short stature.
At 34 years old, this blond bombshell will make your balls burst with her expert erection-evacuation and just a shudder of her blubbery bulk.
In this video clip, Tiffany taps the gardener by tempting him with her huge 36 G-cup hooters and her bangin' butt. The porn star tattoo getting well and truly slapped by her boner bound bonking buddy.
She gives a massive mammaried tit-wank and a good slobbery blow-job before they couple get down to it and fatty-fuck al-fresco.

BBW Beauty & The Big Black Beast
The man-whore and rent-a-rod that is Asante (and his big, black cock) gets to fuck another of our favourite BBW's. This time, it's Eliza Allure
Eliza is looking stunning here in this interracial, hard-core, fuck-fest film and photo set.
The ravishing redheaded, blubbery babe has a humgous, heavy body weighing 205lbs (14st 9lbs / 92.9kg), and stats of 45-43-57.
Her 40DD jugs get juggled with by Asante's hands and, no doubt, this sets off a ripple throughout her wonderful, wobbly folds of flesh and fat.
Eliza drops to her knees to suck at the big boner presented to her face for a serious, sexy schlurp.
After oral, digits demand to be dipped into her podgy, pretty, puffy pussy.
Then, who could resist a good, hard, fatty fuck?
I've cum to hate Asante! 😆
Below, we have what I truly consider to be the most amazing, and the most beautiful, BBW photograph that I have ever seen.
Honestly… EVER!

Lovely Lesbian Ladies
Minnie Mayhem – the Californian that keeps her stats to herself – is stacked to the tune of 38J and that is all we know, bar her height of 5′ 2″.
This is a shame, as I would love to share her waist and butt measurements with you, as well as her wonderful wobbling weight.
Buxom Bella is not so guarded and at 5′ 7″ she weighs 220lbs ( 15st 10lbs / 100kg).
Measuring 40-36-48, she carries her blubber like a big, bouncy balloon.
These two tremendous, tremoring totties are stuffed into lingerie as they begin this fatty filled video and photos. (Well, underwear to stun underneath their day clothes, which don't stay on long.)
Sucking and tweaking each others tremendous tits, they move on down to their fatty fanny folds and lick each other out in a squelchy sisterhood sixty-nine.
Dildos and strap-ons used on each other make for a full on fatty fuck-fest.

Botch-op surgeon suspended
A surgeon has been suspended for six months after the General Medical Council found he was guilty of misconduct.
Gideon Lauffer, of Hendon, was sanctioned after a series of botched operations.
The GMC heard that two patients had died and a third lost a testicle after Mr Lauffer "acted outside his area of competency".
Concerns were first raised about his performance in 2004, but the GMC then decided he should be allowed to continue working while improving his abilities.
Last year Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust sacked Mr Lauffer after colleagues lost confidence and trust in him.
He was suspended from practising while the investigation took place.
A GMC panel heard that Mr Lauffer, who was a former Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue youth service leader, was a "respected and competent surgeon" who had given "many years of dedicated service".
But it found he had been dishonest in performing a procedure when he was already prohibited from doing so and that he had conducted another operation "without having undergone any formal training".
The GMC concluded: "The panel is conscious that it is important to demonstrate to you, to the profession and to the public that your misconduct cannot go unmarked."
Mr Lauffer denied accusations of incompetence, delaying surgery and performing incorrect procedures. He admitted carrying out laparoscopic surgery procedures despite being banned.
His fitness to practise will be reviewed at the end of the suspension period.

Video of the Week: Pastor's Big Chance Goes Up in Smoke
In the long run, everything levels out in poker. A single moment, though, can determine the future of a poker player's career.
Argentinian player Juan Pastor was very close to his international breakthrough at the 2015 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo but his deep run ended painfully.
Suddenly, a Commotion
We're deep in the main event of one of the most important events of the year. Twelve players are left and first prize is €1m. The stacks in the field are relatively even and there are some very seasoned pros in Ole Schemion, Johnny Lodden and Adrian Mateos still in.
There are also completely unknown amateurs Koichi Nozaki, Hady Asmar and Muhyedine Fahes. It's two tables with six players each and all players will definitely go home with €66,500.
Suddenly there's some commotion at the outer table. When the camera arrives German Christopher Frank and Juan Pastor are all-in while WSOPE champion Adrian Mateos is tanking. Eventually, he calls.
It's easy to see why the Spaniard made the call as he's holding the third-best starting hand in poker – pocket queens. Unfortunately, that's the worst of the three in this huge clash.
Can Hardly Look
Pastor simply can't contain his emotions during the events of the following 60 seconds. If he wins this hand he triples up into the chip lead. He basically has his seat at the final table locked up.
Pre-flop he's a 66% favorite but still he can hardly look at the board. It's as if he knows what's going to happen.
And indeed, shortly after, both Pastor and Frank leave their chairs and head to reception to collect €66,500 and €78,000, respectively.
Mateos, however, goes on to win the Grand Final for €1,082,000. That's how close it can get in poker.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture. The name Halfhead comes from when the family lived at the hide or at the residence close by. Halfhead is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names. They were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Other local names are derived from the names of houses, manors, estates, regions, and entire counties.
Halfhead Early Origins
Bedfordshire (Old English: Bedanfordscir), located in Southeast-central England. A hide is a feudal portion of land that was measured by the quality of land, not its size. In other words, a hide was so much land as "with its house and toft, right of common, and other appurtenances, was considered to be sufficient for the necessities of a family." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Urmston in Lancashire is of interest to the family. "A family of the local name is mentioned as holding lands here as early as the reign of John. About the time of Henry IV., Raff Hyde married the heiress of Adam Urmston, and thus obtained the estate." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. "Here [in Woodford, Wiltshire] was a palace of the bishops of Salisbury, but no traces of it are now visible. Charles II., after the battle of Worcester, was concealed in Heale House, in the parish, at that time the residence of the Hyde family." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Hyde in Cheshire was another ancient family seat. "So early as the reign of John, a part of the manor of Hyde was held by a family of the same name, of which the great Lord Chancellor Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, was a descendant; the remaining portion was acquired by them in the reign of Edward III." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Halfhead Spelling Variations
Halfhead Spelling Variations
One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Halfhead has appeared include Hyde, Hide and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Halfhead arrived in North America very early:
Halfhead Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Deus novis haec otio fecit
Motto Translation: God hath given us these things in tranquillity.

Latest Tennis News
Here's where you'll find all the latest racket and string news as it happens throughout the year.
French Open Review
Novak Djokovic became the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time, whilst Garbiñe Muguruza picked up her first Grand Slam crown at this year's French Open Championships at Roland Garros in May/June.
Djokovic achieved his major target for the year by winning his first Roland Garros, coming back from the loss of the first set to maintain the upper hand in his head to head with Andy Murray in the final. Both players used Head rackets, Djokovic used the Head Graphene XT Speed Pro racket strung with Babolat VS Team natural gut main strings and Luxilon Alu Power Rough cross strings, whilst Murray used the Head Graphene XT Radical Pro strung with Luxilon Alu Power main strings and Babolat VS Touch cross strings.
With Djokovic now halfway to achieving The Grand Slam, (winning the Australian and French Championships, Wimbledon and the US Championships in the same year), and being the holder of both the Wimbledon and US Open championships already, speculation is rife that he could become only the third man after Don Budge, (1938), and Rod Laver, (1962 and 1969), to complete the Slam. If he does it he'll also equal Budge's record of winning six majors in a row, (Wimbledon 1937 through to the US Championships 1938), that has stood for nearly 80 years.
Last year's winner Stan Wawrinka held on to his title until defeated by Murray in the semi-finals, where Murray came through a tough, bruising, four set battle full of long baseline exchanges and outrageous winners. Stan played with the Yonex Vcore Dual G97 racket, strung with Babolat RPM Blast strings.
Completing the semi-final line up, and in a Grand Slam semi for the first time, was Austria's Dominic Thiem. There was a lot of interest in Thiem's Babolat racket, the frame of which was virtually all white with small touches of red near the handle, and black at the side of the racket head. It's still in the prototype stage, no details are available, and, according to Babolat, it's known as #ProjectOne7. Babolat wants tour-level input before releasing the frame, and is also seeking feedback from coaches, juniors, and recreational players. To this end Babolat will be sending out 1,017 frames globally seeking feedback over the next few months. For his run to the semis at Roland Garros, Thiem strung his Babolat #ProjectOne7 with Babolat RPM Blast.
Garbiñe Muguruza went one step further than she did at Wimbledon last year, claiming the singles title with a close fought straight sets win over hot favourite Serena Williams in the final. In a repeat of last year's final in SW19, Muguruza became the first female Spanish Grand Slam winner this century, the first since Aranxta Sanchez Vicario also triumphed at Roland Garros back in 1998.
She played with the Babolat Pure Drive strung with Luxilon Alu Power strings. Serena Williams, who finished as runner up in a second successive Grand Slam, used the Wilson Blade 104 strung with a hybrid of Wilson Natural Gut main strings and Luxilon 4G crosses.
Former Roland Garros finalist Sam Stosur had her best Grand Slam for a long time, reaching the semi-final before going down to eventual champion Muguruza. Sam used the Babolat Pure Storm strung with Babolat RPM Blast strings. Kiki Bertens was a surprise semi-finalist, going much further than she's ever done in a Grand Slam event, and becoming the first Dutch woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Betty Stove in the US Open in 1977. Kiki played with the Wilson Blade 98 racket strung with Wilson Natural Gut.
Australian Open Review
The Men's Singles went exactly as predicted, whilst the Ladies' Singles came to a sensational conclusion at the 2016 Australian Open at Melbourne in January.
In a repeat of last year's men's final, World No 1 and No 1 seed Novak Djokovic beat World No 2 and No 2 seed Andy Murray, as Nole won his fifth Aussie Open title in six years, and his sixth overall, 6-1, 7-5, 7-6. Djokovic used the Head Graphene XT Speed Pro racket strung with Babolat VS Team natural gut main strings and Luxilon Alu Power Rough cross strings. Murray used the new Head Graphene XT Radical Pro strung with Luxilon Alu Power main strings and Babolat VS Touch cross strings.
Both men's finalists played with Head rackets, and both semi-finalists used Wilsons. Djokovic got the better of Roger Federer, and Murray came through an epic five set struggle with Milos Raonic. Federer played with his usual combination of the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph with Wilson Natural Gut main strings and Luxilon Alu Power Rough crosses. Raonic had the Wilson Blade 98 strung with Luxilon 4G.
The Ladies' Singles was a far less predictable event, with Angelique Kerber scoring a sensational victory over the seemingly invincible Serena Williams in a classic three set final to claim her first Grand Slam singles title. Angelique's racket of choice was the Yonex VCore Si 100 strung with a hybrid of Babolat VS team main strings and Yonex's own Polytour Fire cross strings. Serena played with the Wilson Blade 104 with Wilson Natural Gut main strings and Luxilon 4G crosses.
Surprise package of the Ladies' Singles, and the tournament overall, was Johanna Konta, who defeated Serena's sister Venus in the first round and went all the way to the semi-finals to become the first British player to get that far since Sue Barker way back in 1977. Johanna played with the Babolat Pure Aero, the latest version of their established AeroPro Drive, strung with black coloured Babolat VS Touch main strings and Babolat RPM Blast cross strings. Just as Wilson had both losing semi-finalists in the Men's Singles, so Babolat had both losing ladies' semi-finalists, as the semi line up was completed by Babolat Pure Drive Lite strung with a hybrid of Babolat RPM Blast main strings and Babolat VS Team crosses.
There were fewer players changing racket manufacturers than usual this year. Most notable change was David Ferrer playing with the Babolat Pure Drive after over ten years using various Prince rackets. Interestingly, Ferrer was playing without Babolat's logo on his strings, indicating, perhaps, that he's not yet fully under contract to them.
Talking of Babolat, there No 1 endorsee Rafael Nadal had a disappointing Open with a first round exit at the hands of Fernando Verdasco. Rafa was using the Babolat Pure Aero Play he first used at last year's US Open, but of more interest was the bright yellow string he was using. He's used the black Babolat RPM Blast for the last six years. Has he gone back to the Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour he was using before RPM Blast? He wasn't around long enough to find out.
Two other changes of note were long term Dunlop user Nicolas Almagro, who's on the comeback trail after injury, now using Völkl rackets, and Dominic Thiem, the youngest player in the Top Twenty, now playing with the Babolat Pure Strike 18/20.
Victoria Azarenka is still using the Wilson Ultra racket, but there was no Wilson logo on the strings, and she was carrying her rackets in a Nike bag.
Finally, after finishing runner up in last year's Wimbledon and US Open Jamie Murray at last claimed a Grand Slam men's doubles title when he and Bruno Soares defeated Daniel Nestor and Radek Stepanek in the final. Murray uses the Slazenger Aero V98 racket strung with Solinco Tour Bite strings. His carries his rackets in a Solinco bag, and they bear the Solinco logo rather than that of Slazenger. It was Solinco's first Grand Slam success.

Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said they will not arrest a father who they say was acting in self-defense when he shot his son during a confrontation inside the family's home Wednesday night.
The incident began about 10:40 p.m. inside the home in the 9600 block of Du Page Avenue in Whittier. Authorities say 26-year-old Stephen Turner Jr. was armed with a knife when he began arguing with his girlfriend and threatened to kill her.
Turner's father, who was not identified, was also inside the home and grabbed his gun just in case, officials said. When Turner's father tried to stop the pair from arguing, authorities say Turner lunged at his dad with the knife and was shot.
Turner was shot in the torso and is listed in stable condition in a local hospital. Once he's released he will be arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, officials said.
The father's gun was registered and he had no restrictions on carrying it, therefore his actions were legal and in self defense, officials said. Both he and Turner's girlfriend were uninjured.

text: As some of you probably know I made several small nautiloid-models some time ago. I wanted to sculpt another bigger (and more detailed) model, similar to the giant orthocone from the sea monster documentation of the BBC, because this reconstruction looks very impressive. The shell is already made, and the radula too. OK, at this this step problems began. I used mainly nautilus beaks as pattern, but then I discovered that their beaks were really completely different from those of nautilus and that there is furthermore the problem of the correct reconstruction and position of the aptychus. Most models and illustrations show no aptychus but more some kind of hood-like skin double similar to those of nautilus. I have now really the problem that I have no good pattern of orthocone beaks, radulas and aptychus. During my search for immages of nautiloid oral anatomy, I found a very interesting site which deals with this topic. There are also some very good reconstructions of ammonites with several types of aptychus: http://kosmoceraten.de/Neuigkeiten/body_ammonitenmodell.html The site is in german, but the pictures alone are surely very interesting (and still a bit confusing). Coincidentally some of those wonderfull fossils with complete aptychus were found only about 30km away from where I live. By the way, has somebody a picture of the ammonite with the preserved soft body?

Columbus Crew rookie striker Knox Cameron is not complaining about the large amount of playing time he has received this preseason. It's just that he didn't expect it.
Injuries to Ante Razov and Edson Buddle have pushed the former University of Michigan and U.S. under-20 national team star into the deep end, and to his credit he has responded well.
On Wednesday night at the Carolina Challenge Cup, Cameron netted the equalizer against the San Jose Earthquakes in second-half stoppage time. With all of the confidence and poise of a grizzled veteran, Cameron ran onto a flick-on and coolly placed the ball between the legs of San Jose 'keeper Pat Onstad. Not bad for a rookie.
"He has improved a lot," said Crew coach Greg Andrulis. "That has a lot to do with the fact he is playing a lot of minutes due to the injuries to Ante and Edson. He is going to be a very good player at this level. It is, however, going to take some time. We've got to rework some things with him. But he battled all game and finished against one of the best goalkeepers in the league, so kudos to him."
Cameron follows in the tradition of Crew forwards. He's big and strong, someone who can win the ball and hold off defenders as well as finish.
Admittedly, he's struggled with the speed of the game at the top level. But his play against San Jose demonstrated not only his ability to play at the MLS level, but that he is slowly growing more comfortable with the high speed in which the game is played.
"Every time I play I'm getting more and more comfortable," Cameron said.
Cameron suffered from the same malady of a lot of first year players coming out of college: not enough good competition on a daily basis.
"You are no longer playing against guys your own age," said Cameron, a 22-year-old native of the Bronx. "Now you are playing against guys that are older, more experienced. Every time you go out and perform it has to be at a really high level."
Though Cameron is eager to compete, he knows that there is still much for a young forward to learn. As luck will have it, he will be the understudy to two of the best in the league in Razov and Buddle.
"Ante talked to me in the locker room before the game," Cameron said. "For guys like that to give me advice, it means a lot. They have been there. There is a reason they have been in the league for as long as they have. The best thing I can do is listen and learn from them."
Cameron is expected to be in the starting lineup on Friday evening when the Crew face D.C. United in the final game of the Carolina Challenge Cup.

(Woman's Day)
- Set your thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night.
- Keep lamps and TVs away from air-conditioning thermostats. The heat produced can cause the air conditioner to run longer.
- Reduce trips to the refrigerator. Each time the door is opened, up to 30% of the cold air can escape.
- Take a look at your furniture arrangement. Make sure vents and radiators aren't blocked by sofas, chairs or other items.
- Remove lint from the dryer filter. A dirty one can increase energy use by up to 30%.

The Great European Rip-off : How the Corrupt, Wasteful EU is Taking Control of Our Lives Paperback
by David Craig, Matthew Elliott
In this EU referendum year, it's time for people across Europe to look at what really goes on in Brussels in our name.
It has been estimated that the EU costs us around GBP1,000 billion a year - an incredible GBP2000 for every man, woman and child in Europe.
So what do we get for our money? Politicians and administrators selflessly working to bring us efficient government?
Well-targeted regulations that promote economic prosperity?
A safe and free society? A well-protected environment? Help for people in poorer countries? Or is our money being squandered by a self-serving euro-elite of unaccountable politicians and incompetent bureaucrats, or else devoured in a feeding frenzy of fraud and corruption where a few lucky insiders become unimaginably rich at our expense? And is the tsunami of regulation pouring out of Brussels in reality strangling industry, destroying jobs, restricting personal freedom, desecrating the environment and further impoverishing the developing world?Using their extensive network of insider sources, David Craig and Matthew Elliott smash through the secrecy and disinformation that are the Brussels hallmark to reveal what our European rulers are really getting up to.
The result is a horrifying story of bureaucracy, hypocrisy and kleptocracy - and how we are all suffering as a result.

Some albums really have the ability to transport you to another world. I tell you, still now when I hear Blind Guardian's "Somewhere Far Beyond", I can hear the madrigals singing and feel the leaves of the enchanted forest beneath my feet. When I hear Ayreon's "Universal Migrator Pt.1: The Dream Sequencer", I can smell the cosmos like it's seeping through my windows. Unfortunately, all I can smell during these US epic metallers' debut is their innate credibility coming out of my backside. Chopping the same magic-trees as Sacred Steel and Battleroar, Last Empire's musical mien is brash, aggressive and tougher than the blades they pretend to wield. There are some interesting parts to absorb; their particularly evil sounding power metal has more than an air of "Burnt Offerings"–era Iced Earth in the guitar work, and with quite an underpinning of the neo-classical scale runs Blind Guardian proliferated in their early career, there is certainly no ignorance of technical ability on display. But the songs just aren't captivating enough. There are no real warrior chants or even guitars-in-the-air-mirror-pose moments; it's pretty turgid stuff, unless of course you can't wait any longer for Gerrit P Mutz and co. to storm your shores with fists full of girders, raping the town with blazing battle metal anthems and mead-drinking until they fill their pantaloons.
Systematic of this label, the production is pretty dry – unless you crank your stereo up to 10, which this music certainly deserves. It is at least rewarding to be blasted at for 50 minutes with very little simulated symphonics, only piercing high vocals, grating guitars, galloping drums and rather humorous fantasy lyrics. Still, with titles like "Gods of Fire and Steel" and "Wings of Dragons" what exactly would you expect? Uber-intelligent prog/jazz-fusion?

I was very lucky to be given a beautiful book of Japanese textile 'gifts' by my dear husband, Jonathan, for Christmas. It is called 'Kokoro no Te' which translates as 'Handmade treasures from the heart'. And I have had such a wonderful time trying out some of the projects over my Christmas holidays!
It is filled with beautiful projects to make little bags, purses and this beautiful needle case.
Everything is made with felt lining, and in this case felt is used for the needle 'leaves' and for some of the 'cherries'. I loved making theses beautiful cherries covered in seed beads, with their silk stems.
The idea is to hang the needlecase up somewhere in your sewing room so it is always handy. I used some of the beautiful Japanese fabric I bought in New York for the 'outer leaves'.
All the projects are almost exclusively hand sewn. Though I did use the machine to make the silk 'stems'. A 'rouleux hook' is absolutely essential for making these (and even then they're pretty tricky!).
This is the 'Tomato Cache'. A tiny little bag 'to keep special jewellery or to give away with a special present inside' as the author suggests! I just couldn't resist making it, even though it's not particularly practical (unless you're Japanese!).
I used some of the vintage fabric I bought in the antique shop in Tetbury a few months ago.
Note the tiny silk rose buds and all the beautiful beads! This book is just SO perfect for me, as I have a large stash or silk remnants left over from the days (MANY years ago) when I used to make patchwork ballgown 'skirts' from silk remnants. A girl who had her own evening/wedding clothes business used to give me all her remnants and I used to turn them into
3M x 1M pieces of patchwork silk. She would buy these off me and make them into beautiful ballgowns! The money was enough to pay for a childminder to come to the house once a week to look after my very wee boys so I could sit at my sewing machine and make the 'skirts' (plus other things...). This arrangement basically kept me sane during those really tough toddler years!
Anyway I still have lot's of silk left!
Here is the 'Cicada' evening purse. Again very small, but SO cute!
The other big advantage I have for making these pieces is a pretty big and unused stash of beads!
This is thanks to my sister, Jane, who has spent the last 25 years making and selling her own beaded jewellery. A number of years ago she gave me a load of beads she didn't want anymore, which I planned to use on quilts. I did use a few, and then moved on to something else, so these have been sitting in a little drawer brooding over their uselessness for too long. How happy they were to get working again! And how lucky I am to have all the resources I need to make these beautiful little 'Treasures from the heart'!
And look at all the lovely things still to make! Like this gorgeous evening purse. Only problem is I have run out of felt! The Projects do use a lot - everything is lined with felt and the author also wants you to use felt as a padding but I substituted this for wadding to save my precious, disappearing bag of felt scraps.
I am dying to make this sewing tidy! All the patterns are at the back of the book, and though time consuming, nothing is really too hard, just fiddly due to the small size.
I have got more felt on order and have told my sister that I'm going to need more beads (pretty please...), so watch this space for some more 'treasures' in the future!
What a lovely way to start the year (and decade)! I do hope this is a sign of things to come.
Happy New Year everybody!!

This is a must see macro debate. Gary Shilling (A. Gary Shilling & Co.) and John Tamny (RealClearMarkets / H.C. Wainright Economics) were on Tech Ticker on 2/15/2011. Shilling believes monetary tightening in China, which could overshoot and bring on a hard landing, will cause commodity prices to crash. He believes it will hit industrial and agricultural commodities as "hot leveraged money" finds a safe haven.
John Tamny disagrees. He believes the agricultural moves are "currency driven" since they're all moving at once. (side note: On CNBC the other day, Kyle Bass (Hayman Capital) was worried about Q2 food price inflation globally.
They agree on U.S. stocks. Shilling said U.S. stocks look "frothy" and John Tamny said "I wouldn't be a long term holder of stocks... stocks tend to do best during strong dollar decades during the 80s and 90s". They differ on the inflation vs. deflation debate (third segment).
*Gary Shilling: predicts 3% 30-year Treasury bond yield, stronger dollar (as safe haven, deflation)
*John Tamny: predicts higher Treasury yields, lower dollar, likes gold (sees QE3 as possibility)

As a writer, except when editing assignments come up because of a contract, I have to set my own goals, make my own schedule, and pace myself. This is always much easier said than done. A lot of things interfere with meeting goals and sticking to plans, so I've learned how to at least brace for the unexpected.
Thus, here's a list for you writers out there and for anyone else because, no matter the field or subject, we all find ourselves in positions where the following tips might come in handy.
1. Expect the Unexpected: Cliche, I know, but it's too true to leave out. No matter how well any of us plan, no matter the number of Plans B, C, and so forth, things will always occur that demolish our carefully laid schemes. It can be an illness, last minute commitments, a computer crash, or a power outage. Doubtless, you can think of many more. Whatever the unfortunate occurrence, the unexpected can wreak havoc.
2. Expect Each Task to Take Three Times as Long: Even a task we know well, especially mixed with the unexpected, can topple well laid plans. Normally, I might spend three days on a certain round of edits, but I try to give myself a week because, more often than not, something slows me down. Sometimes, it's simply stress or weariness from those unexpected things.
3. Assume the Plan Will Look Nothing Like the Original When Complete: When in our lives do things ever go exactly the way we anticipate? I cannot think of a single instance in my life. If you expect things to change or come out differently than originally intended, surprises will not appear so dire.
4. Find Humor and Fun in the Chaos: This one can be a real challenge, especially with a deadline looming. However, a good laugh or an appreciation for irony can blunt the sharpness of surprise or strain. Additionally, laughter and a better mood help anyone more deftly adjust to unexpected change. They also relieve stress.
5. There Will Be an End: No matter how difficult things become or how horrendously a plan gets knocked off course, not even when your goals and dreams are hurled miles farther than you thought, things will never remain the same. This can be a haunting truth, but it can also be a consolation. Eventually, circumstances will change, a deadline will pass, or a path toward a goal will become clearer. The best part about this is that there is always hope to restart or readjust, and in that, there is always a chance for success.
So to handle most of this, lately, whenever I can, I try to build a cushion into my planning when I lay out how I intend to reach my goals. Learning this takes time and it doesn't always work. For example, this month, I'm utterly swamped with intense edits, kids getting ready for school, family issues, family events, and life in general. This month, my cushion has evaporated into feathers that a tornado ripped away. But it gives me a greater appreciation for how wonderful that cushion of time, humor, and flexibility is when I manage it. I hope in your endeavors you find it equally useful and comforting.
What helps you withstand when plans go awry or goals seems impossibly far? How do you approach making a plan to reach your goals, knowing you will likely encounter roadblocks?

This month, Crystal Cruises will launch the third installment of its online training seminar on CrystalCruisesAcademy.com. Complimentary to agents, the latest course in the luxury line's comprehensive online training program, Course III, Europe 2009 details the benefits of cruising Europe with Crystal in 2009, including:
. All ongoing Europe promotions including All Inclusive - As You Wish, Save Now, Save Later, European Celebration Fares and the Crystal Assurance Plan;
. Highlights of the 2009 Europe season by destination: Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Canary Islands and Trans-ocean crossings;
. Crystal Adventures, Extended Land Programs and Hotel Programs;
. Group sales incentives, including the Crystal Family Memories Program, and
. Sales and marketing tips
"In the current environment, the agents who are on top of their game and most knowledgeable will be the luxury travelers' trusted advisors and best resources. It pays - literally - to invest the time in becoming an expert at selling the "World's Best," and consistently most highly-rated ships," says Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales and marketing. "This course will equip agents with the tools they need to expertly sell Crystal European itineraries and, as with the first two courses, earn them greater return business and highly satisfied clients."
In 2009, Crystal offers two dozen voyages from seven to 14 days in the Mediterranean, Baltic, North Cape, British Isles and trans-Atlantic aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. Cruises departing Venice, Barcelona, Athens, Copenhagen, London, Stockholm and more feature at least one overnight call and countless Crystal Adventures appealing to most any interest.
"Europe naturally lends itself to great cruise itineraries, with so many spectacular destinations so close together and easily accessible by ship," adds Smith. "This presents agents with numerous opportunities to sell their clients on the Crystal Experience."
Originally launched in July 2006, CrystalCruisesAcademy.com was re-introduced earlier this year on a complimentary basis. In 2008, CruiseBuilder, the second phase of the web-based training program was launched specializing in Crystal's online booking engine. The comprehensive courses are an ideal forum for home-based agents, allowing them to learn at their leisure, while providing traditional brick-and-mortar agencies with a cost-free option for training each travel agent in their office to be a Crystal specialist.
In addition to valuable sales insights, completion of just one of the courses qualifies agents for eligibility to win a free cruise, with one drawing entry per course completed. The most recent winner, Jane Hazelrig of All-Seasons Travel in Birmingham, AL, completed the first two courses. Four drawings are held per year, the next scheduled for March, 2009.
To register for this new advanced course, agents can visit crystalcruisesacademy.com or access the site through a link on the travel agent center at crystalcruises.com.
Agents completing Crystal's online training beginning with the first installment course will also receive the line's sales binder, which is filled with valuable brochures, insider information not available in regular brochures, sample menus from each restaurant, resources for more information and other comprehensive sales tools.
To arm Crystal specialists with the most compelling sales tools, agents completing the line's online training courses receive E-Values, a weekly e-mail update highlighting the line's current best values to promote to their clients. Agents who complete courses on CrystalCruisesAcademy.com will also earn CLIA accreditation towards ACC and MCC.

13:00 22 March 2013
Heavy snow is affecting the British Isles, with many people witnessing the disruption caused by the weather on Friday, 22nd March. Many people in the north of England awoke to flurries of snow, while other areas saw more windy and snowy conditions.
Areas to have been hit by snow also include parts of Wales and Scotland, and a large number of schools have been shut across the UK because of the weather.
Travel is also being affected; in particular snow is affecting road travel in the north. Drivers are urged to take care, having with them food and warm clothing among other things.
Those people who live near the Pennines in the north of England may witness high winds that are spreading snow across the ground.
And in the south of the UK, many areas are being hit by rain. In particular the South-West is being affected by flooding. There are at least 17 flood warnings in place for this region as of time of press.
Places that are being hit by the recent weather include Cornwall as well as Devon.
And the onset of more bad weather has meant than many houses have had a lack of power. Reportedly thousands of people in Northern Ireland have had no access to electricity.
Forecasters have predicted that the snowy weather could set-in for the weekend.

Unanswered: SQLDataSource SelectCommand
I'm fairly new to ASPX and I've spent the last week trying to figure out how to do this and this is my last resort. My selectcommand statement reads (in part) as;
"SELECT Tbl_2.Word AS Word2, Tbl_1.Word AS Word1..."
My aim is that instead of "Select Tbl_2.Word", I want to use the results within a dropdown list to pick up which table to access therefore something like this (as it works in VBA);
"Select" & Me.DropDownList1.SelectedValue & ".Word AS Word2, " & Me.DropDownList2.SelectedValue & ".Word AS Word1..."
I've tried assigning control parameters, or rewriting the sql at page_load(), however it simply won't work for me. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could do this?

Sorry for the delay.
I actually don't have anything written down on my pages. I keep deleting a re-writing just to get something. My code from my original database was as it is below (although its a lot more complex than what I posted below) I've just made it as simple as possible. All I'm trying to do at the moment is to establish how to do it so I'm using the most simple of statements to generate it. The results are generate within a gridview.
<aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CustomerConnectionString %>"
ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CustomConnectionString.ProviderN ame %>"
Selectcommand="SELECT Tbl_Table1.* FROM Tbl_Table1"
Type="String" />
My VBA in my original database was along the lines of:
"SELECT" & Me.DropDown & ".* FROM "& Me.DropDown
Where the selected value of the dropdown list was the table name.

Actually I've done it now...
I've set the initial selectcommand to run a statement that doesn't display any results, and I've written the SQL string that I need within a page load event, so on page load the select command is re-written. It seemed to do the job.
There isn't anything wrong in doing it this way is there?

I would set the command source to be a commandtable and change the text in page load.
You can cancel select for the sqldatasource by trapping it's onselect event (or whatever it's called) and setting cancel = -1oh yeah... documentation... I have heard of that.

Red Sox Minor League Notebook: Matt Barnes Finding His Groove
It was almost a full month before Matt Barnes could get his season officially started, but three starts in and all seems to check out for Pawtucket's flame-throwing right-hander.
Forced to start the season in extended spring training to build back the strength in a tender pitcher shoulder, Barnes finally made his 2014 debut for the PawSox on April 27th.
"It's always frustrating, nobody wants to sit in extended," said Barnes. "It's one of those things that you have to deal with.
"Physically I feel great, fully recovered. Mentally I think I'm in a good spot. I've made some progress…so, I'm ready to go."
Barnes' arrival in Rhode Island was the final piece of a prospect-laden pitching rotation that features five young arms – Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa, Anthony Ranaudo, Brandon Workman – all expected to play out at the next level.
The Connecticut native was happy to return the fold and get a front row seat to watch some of the best pitchers in the Red Sox system.
"We've played together for a couple of years now," said Barnes. "It's always fun to go out and watch those guys pitch and hopefully they all do great things."
Barnes, the organization's top right-handed arm, has worked 16 innings over his first three starts as he continues to get comfortable working in gameday situations once again.
"He was pounding the strike zone, getting ahead in the count early every at-bat," said catcher Christian Vazquez who has caught Barnes in two of three starts. "His stuff was good. His fastball is strong."
"The first game, I felt a little out of rhythm just trying to find my mechanics," said Barnes. "I think that was it just being the first start of the season. The second one I felt a little more comfortable."
Over his last two starts he has given up six walks to only five hits, but has struck out ten and allowed just three runs.
It's early in the season, and even earlier for Barnes, who knows that it's all a work in progress at this point.
"I'm still trying to work on everything," said Barnes. "Fastball command got better in the second start, but still needs to improve. I need to stay through the ball a little bit better. I need to work on the command of my curveball. So we're going to kind of work on those couple of things and move forward."
Barnes is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 12 strikeouts.
Stats amazing
Mookie Betts – Has hit safely in 27 of 29 games this season and reached base in 59 straight regular season games dating back to last season.
Through the farm
Pawtucket (AAA) – Ryan Lavarnway is adjusting well to his new role as a first-baseman. Working daily on his fielding with coach Bruce Crabbe is paying off as the former full-time catcher has just two errors in 147 chances thus far.
Portland (AA) – Left-hander Brian Johnson picked up the win in his Double-A debut, tossing 5 1/3 innings at Binghamton on Saturday. The 2012 first-rounder gave up three hits and two unearned runs, striking out three.
Salem (A+) – Second baseman Reed Gragnani is riding an eight game hit streak, and is currently batting .400. The University of Virginia product has eleven multi-hit games in 22 played.
Greenville (A) – Trey Ball made his season debut on April 27th after spending the first weeks of the season at extending spring training. The seventh overall pick a year ago has tossed five innings apiece in each of his two starts, yielding six runs on 15 hits and a walk. The lefty did bump up his strikeout total from two in his first start to six.

nope, VO JUST ME , A BEER , AND A FUNNY HAT!
SO in a nutshell ... if not so late id sell 904.00,probably exiting at the first 'stall ' around 899.75- 900, then later buy around 902.50 or lower around 4:15-16 for a long scalp, exiting early at 895 area
Thanks both of you, VO what time frame & bar count is your zigzag on? It's hard to test a new tool with the slow low vol days. I posted a 3 min set to 5 bars, I am also watching a 610T & a 1 minuite Thnx
quote:your exactly correct, sir! i think i showed that on another chart. my intention here was to show the possibility of a potential bounce at the 891 level before we get there! The initial thrust always gives the valid projection, but remember my theory that every bar potentially has its own story to tell.
Originally posted by einstein
Happy New Year Kool and the gang! Kool,still a little confused on why you are using the high of 904.75 and low of 899.50. It seems to me that the down thrust initiates at the high of the up candle (15:40) at 908 and continues down for 2 more bars until u get a signif retrace at the 15:55 candle ie the low of the second big red candle at 898.50. This would give a projection down to 883.5 at the 1.618% level. If I am way off please correct me. Just trying to be more precise and accurate on these price projections. Thanks as always. E.

text: I've always been wondering about this ever since my abs started showing which was about 2 years ago. I'm 15 years of age and have what seems to be a 5 or 6 pack. Anyways, I probably have a 6 pack, but there's bit of fat covering the bottom left side. Here's the thing: my abs are uneven. Not by much, but it's noticeable. My top abs are basically even, the one on my left protruding a bit more, then the next row, both protrude the same amount, but my left ab is slightly larger (in length), and my third row- the right one showing, but the one on the left is still hidden in fat, but I can feal the crease in where the tip should be and it's WAY lower than my right. Like the right one has it's tip at my belly button level, but my left goes just shy of a cm below my belly button. I never really asked any professionals (in terms of doctors, etc) about this, but my dad who's somewhat knowledgable about this stuff says that they may even out as I grow, as I'm still 15. -Is this true? Is there anything I can do to even it out or is it all genetics? Thanks!
