Coping with Grief - Its Called Living Through It
"Dad, I tried to wake Nana, I think she's dead." This litany of phone calls and conversations on death or parting has all occurred in the past 30 years of my life, most in the last 20. Whether I was the one delivering or receiving these messages, the speaking of each one was the start of the long, seemingly endless process of grieving. Often, I felt so sucker punched that I doubted I could go on. Getting up the next day seemed impossible, yet somehow I almost always did. Something deep inside told me I had to, that there was no other way to get through it, but to keep moving. I attribute that to my deep belief in a higher plan and a sense that getting through this trial was like going through a tunnel. I told myself that if I put one foot in front of the other, I would eventually come out the other side and be able to feel somewhat whole again. Sometimes, it was all I could do to put one toe in front of the other, but all forward movement I deemed positive. The last five instances happened within the past five years, with my mother and sister-in-law and godfather's deaths back to back in '99, '00 and '01. Looking for the reason why I have been given so many opportunities to experience the grip of grief first hand, I now believe it was in order to help others and ease their way. If you've been here, you know. There's no magic pill to get you through the immense pain, intense sadness and amazing denial, anger and upset that you feel. However, I did create, through trial and error, a few simple practices which have profoundly impacted my journey through the tunnel and I would like to share them with you. (1) Every single day, let in the love of family, friends and co-workers. On those days that you feel you can't bear to see anyone or when you realize that some of them have moved on, thinking in error that you are "better", read through the cards you've received. Save and then play voice mail messages and re-read e-mails of support. Give your heart a visible reminder that others do care and want to share your pain. Let them - mentally off-load a bit of it onto their shoulders. Don't try to carry it all by yourself. It can crush you and it will try. Don't let it! (2) Create a morning or evening meditation time. Even if you can't see how to find the time, do it somehow. This was especially helpful to me in getting through the horrible time of adjustment to life alone after my divorce and then again when my Mom died. I had always said a few wake-up prayers, but found I needed more. I started with Jerry Jampolsky's book, "Love is the Answer" and read one (short) chapter a day. Then, I bought the book "A Course on Miracles" and meditated on the daily passages. While the 365 lessons seemed to represent a huge commitment, the daily phrases were so empowering that I continued. Additionally, I saved affirmations from various sources like Science of Mind magazine and The Daily Word and read them daily. Any quote from a book or article that I thought would motivate me to get up and make the day a less painful one than the day before, I saved and re-read daily. I posted the best of them around my office and in my meditation area. I still do. When you actively start looking for empowering passages, you will be touched and inspired by what comes your way. (3) Finally, but most importantly, express yourself in some way often! I would recommend that you do it daily, as well. I found out the hard way that keeping emotions bottled up or trying to ignore them hurt more in the long run and adversely affected my health. Talk to people about your loved one, write about him/her, start a journal of your thoughts and feelings, scream whenever you can find a place where you won't alarm the neighbors, family members or fellow travelers, do some kind of physical exercise to work off steam - whenever and wherever you can vent, do so daily. To anyone caught in the black and blue morass of grief, I invite you to consider adding these three emotionally healing practices to your daily life. They have helped me come through some horribly upsetting times, still sad at heart, but feeling more serene in the knowledge that I can and will go on - living my life to the best of my ability - for my dear ones and with my dear ones safely ensconced in my mind and heart forevermore. 2005 � Creative Mastery Coaching, LLC.

Loss Involves Change - The Transformative Power of Loss and Change There are many experiences in life, which remind us that change is an inevitable part of living. We then have to choose to either to resist this process or look for new ways of finding meaning in our lives. Losing a loved one to homicide, for example, is one of those changes that throw our lives into chaos and disarray. We are forced to see our world very differently, knowing that things will never be the same again. Our loss involves substantial change in every aspect of our lives. Death, Close and Personal I got an email recently from someone whose mother died. She knew I'd suffered the loss of my mother and wanted some insight on how to deal with it. Unfortunately for her, I had no advice...shit...I'm still dealing with it. GoodBye GrandMa My dearest Grandma, I will never forget you & sorry that I was not there with you when you passed. Dealing With Tragedies (The 9/11 Tragedy) September 11, 2001, marked yet another significant turning point in world history. Whatever innocence was left in the world was lost on that fateful day. Lessons We Learned From Terri Schiavo Let's talk about Terry Schiavo, since her death illustrated for me many aspects of grief and hope. Who among us was not moved by the drama of her last days? I know I was. Her death was not the way I would want my own death to be. When my time comes, I want no heroic measures, since for me they simply postpone the inevitable. And watching the family feud that took place between her husband and her parents, with all the tension and the anger, saddened me terribly. Peace should be the last emotion Terry felt, but who knows if she heard only the angry words passed between those she loved. No one should have to die as she did. We are the Reflection of our Lives: How to Survive Loss & Humility Everyday, I look in the mirror to see the face staring back at me. Sometimes it is lined with stress, sorrow and grief. Other times, it simply smiles in humbled reservation. But the reflection of our lives... that, is who we are -- who we represent ourselves to be. For some, it is wearing hearts upon their sleeves; for others, their thoughts and words go unspoken forever. Cultivate a Friendship with Death Why We Fear Death Why Does God Allow Suffering? Justin was a typical ten year old boy. He liked Leggos, trains, and watching TV. He had red hair, freckles, and a huge smile. Justin was a great kid and everybody loved him. Because of cancer, he didn't live to see his eleventh birthday. His mom Mary, who had watched him suffer for months, held her son in her arms when he died. Every day, for the last two years, she has lived with the grief of her loss and the memories of Justin's suffering. Then and Now Over one hundred years ago, during the Victorian era, death and grief were popular subjects for poems, songs and stories. Grieving was considered a natural and acceptable part of the culture. People in mourning wore black clothing and/or black arm bands, women wore black veils, and it was common to see a black wreath on the door of the home of a bereaved family, announcing publicly that this was a home of sorrow. Bereavement was conspicuous and there were very specific societal customs designed to support people during the mourning process. Am I a Mother - Tips for Handling Mother?s Day After Miscarriage Are you spending this Mother's Day wondering if you are, in fact, a mother? 900,000-1 million women in the U.S. alone face this question every year after suffering pregnancy loss. "For women who experience a miscarriage during their first pregnancy, the question of motherhood is an even greater one," says Lisa Church of HopeXchange, a company dedicated to the support of women and their families facing pregnancy loss. Dying? Not Me! Why You Should Plan for Transition Remember the Eulogy projects we had to write back in High School? Death is a tough subject to broach, and many would rather deny death then embrace it. Someone once said, "...There are only two guarantees in life: Death and Taxes." How true is this phrase? It is normally when we are faced with the imminence of dying or death that we only begin making plans or arrangements for our transition. How to Cope with Anticipatory Grief Anticipatory grief is the name given to the mix of emotions experienced when we are living in expectation of loss and grieving because of it. Anticipatory Grief is particularly relevant to those who have received a terminal diagnosis and for those who love and care for them. Men and Grief Men grieve differently from women. Our cultural roles make it difficult for men to look for support, and harder again to accept it. Men are so often silent, solitary mourners who immerse themselves in activity and private, symbolic rituals. They feel profoundly, but often can't express the depth of their loss. Grief & Loss - Healing Your Broken Heart What is it about Grief & Loss that upsets us so much? Is it the heavy duty emoting that we have to do to get through our suffering? Is it the fear we have about opening ourselves to all this pain? Because, let's face it, it's hard down there, in the land of grieving where all those emotions toss us around like a cork on a stormy sea. In the Blink of an Eye Today's Quote: "My house is burned down, but I can see the sky." Sally Reed, cancer survivor Pope John Paul II WHAT I LEARNED FROM POPE JOHN PAUL II ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suicide in the Church, Part 3 Suicide strikes...AGAIN! An Unexpected Letter It was a couple of weeks after Christmas, and I was standing by my mailbox in the vestibule of the apartment building where I lived in Lexington, Kentucky, holding a letter I had just received. The handwriting was not familiar and neither was the return address, although it was postmarked Seattle, Washington, the same place where Hannah Paulson used to live. Suicide Survivor Suicide is a nightmare for survivors of loved ones. Death in itself is hard to cope with but when someone you love intentionally takes their life, this pain is somehow multiplied many times over. Your mind races with unanswered questions and your heart pounds in shock ? then it hits you. They are GONE, taken from this earth by their own actions, and there is nothing you can do to get them back. Online Monument ? An Ever-lasting Tribute to Your Departed Loved Ones Memories are never to be buried along with the loss of our very loved ones. To be forever remembered as someone whom we always love, they always should be. |

KOLKATA: The Mamata Banerjee government on Tuesday announced implementation of career advancement scheme (CAS) for teachers in state colleges and universities. State finance minister Amit Mitra said that the Bengal government wants to build and enrich the human capital and that research activities should take place in the state, and the decision was a reflection of the outlook.
According to him, the decision taken by Mamata Banerjee will directly benefit 10,000 teachers in government colleges, government-sponsored colleges and state-aided universities, apart from assistant librarians, physical education personnel and sports professionals in these institutions. According to Mitra, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has already made recommendations on these professionals getting increments following advanced studies and acquiring degrees during their career. Following the UGC recommendations, the state government had set up a panel, which has taken the final decision on the slabs of increment. T

Rocking it
Monday 12th November 2012, 5:00PM GMT.
Local promoters FutureShock teamed up with a band from the UK and two from New York. The result? A night at the Tav last Saturday that had everybody wanting more. Tom Girard was there…
THEIR previous gig in Guernsey had been called off due to fog, so anticipation was clearly high for Jonny Lives!
With that in mind it seemed many were planning on getting their money's worth last Saturday and the Tav was already filling up nicely as SugarSlam opened the festivities.
Having made a splash with a set of mostly new songs at this summer's Vale Earth Fair, the band continued their upward trajectory with a performance that set the bar high for those to follow.
Having formed as the grunge wave swept the world, it seems SugarSlam have followed a similar path to many bands in a similar vein. Their new songs have the feel of massive slabs of pop-rock, with an extra edge that on the night reminded me of Foo Fighters, with a hint of my personal favourites The Wildhearts (certainly high praise from me) and a dash of the old grunge sound of the likes of Nirvana.
Closing their set with new song, FUBAR showed the somewhat unexpected, but certainly not unwelcome, power that frontman Plumb has in his vocals and gave that big sound that could see SugarSlam become one of the highlights of Guernsey's live music (if they aren't already).
Following them was always going to be a challenge, but Of Empires stepped up to the mark admirably with an energetic performance that put to rest my concerns following their last show at the Tavern.
From the off it was clear that Matthew Berry's guitar was part of the dual driving force of the band's blues-rock sound, along with Jack Fletcher's vocals. On Saturday this was backed up (for the second half of the set at least) by Andy Mason's blues harp, which added an extra dynamic to the sound and fitted in excellently.
While Of Empires may be playing a form of rock that has been doing the rounds for the best part of four decades, when they are on form – and they were that night – they add a new edge and energy to the old sound, which is highlighted on their set-closer I Am The Night.
The first visiting act of the night, The Inevitable Pinhole Burns, was also something of a homecoming for two of their members and, as frontman Jim Rhesus said, The Fermain Tavern was where he played his first-ever gig.
This being only my second chance to see The Inevitable Pinhole Burns live, I wasn't sure what to expect and it was a far noisier affair than I anticipated – but that certainly isn't a criticism.
From the off it was as if The IPHB were walking a razor's edge between genius and total sonic collapse. It was powerful and energetic and at once baffling and enthralling in equal measure, as it swung from indie-type sounds through to fairly full-on punk across the set.
Our first band of the night from the Big Apple, The Killing Floor, were up next and launched into a set of slightly dark-hued rock 'n' roll with force and power from the off.
As they took to the stage I was slightly concerned that they may be one of the many bands floating about the rock 'n' roll world who are all swagger and nothing else, but my fears were allayed as soon as they launched into their first song and continued with a set that ranged from storming and forceful to genuinely emotional on a couple of slower numbers, but retained the same vibe.
Though the crowd remained a little static for The Killing Floor, it was clear that they were getting across and went down a storm.
But static is not the way the crowd could be described for Jonny Lives! Those in the busy Tavern surged forward as the New Yorkers took to the stage.
While their first few songs seemed to lack a bit of the power of The Killing Floor's set, Jonny Lives! soon hit their stride with a good-time rock music sound that was the perfect complement to the night's early, darker and more chaotic sounds and provided the perfect upbeat way to round off the night.
Once the band were rolling, frontman Jonny Dubowsky lived up to the previous descriptions I had heard as he seemed to be channelling a combination of Guernsey's own Mark Le Gallez, Jack White and Ginger Wildheart, all with a unique swagger that saw him end up with his guitar behind his head while he tore through a garage-infused 'solo'.
Following their set, Jonny Lives! were called back on to the stage for an, if anything, even higher-energy encore. It featured a few more of their own songs alongside a couple of covers of Jim Carroll's People Who Died and The Ramones' I Believe In Miracles, and brought the night to an end with style and, seemingly, left everyone who'd come along wanting more.

Dublin Nightlife | Dublin Pubs and Bars | Temple Bar Nightlife
Specials in IRELAND:
Dublin Nightlife - Dublin Bars Pubs Nightlife
If there's one thing Dublin isn't short of - its pubs, clubs and restaurants. Dublin is simply teeming with them, especially pubs. And the great thing about pubs in Dublin, compared to Irish pubs overseas, is that they're REAL! Trying to pick out the best of the best is, quite frankly, impossible, so we've just included a selection here based on our own experience and -more importantly - the recommendations of people who live there and use them regularly. If you want to be organised, then join one of Dublin's famous pub crawls. The Backpacker Pub Crawl, for example, is run by young people for young people and takes place from 8pm in front of Trinity College front gates (Thursday to Sunday nights in winter and every night in summer).
Temple Bar, with some 24 bars and more than 70 restaurants/cafes, is by far the most popular place for nightlife with visitors offering everything from the traditional to the trendy. In the evening it's really buzzing, particularly in the summer; I've never seen so many nuns, policewomen and nurses and 'learners' in one street (yes Dublin is the in place for weekend hen and stag parties). So you do have to watch out for those who haven't 'learnt' how to hold their drink.
One of the best known (and busiest) pubs here has to be The Temple Bar, which is famous for its impromptu live music, excellent service, middle beer garden and great selection of whiskies. Other landmarks in Temple Bar include the Auld Dubliner, Buskers Bar, Cassidy's Bar, Vathouse and Oliver St John Gogarty in Fleet Street, well known for its traditional Irish music and dancing. The Grafton Street area is quieter than Temple Bar; still very lively but attracting a slightly different crowd. Try The Bailey here, a cool, modern, trendy bar for the beautiful people (if you want to meet some!) and Café En Seine in Dawson Street, which has marvellous art deco décor, including a Louis 1Vth bust and glass atrium and French hotel lift. Both are on the expensive side, but worth a visit.
For classic Irish pubs, offering a traditional welcome, superb pint, good music and great atmosphere, recommendations include John Kehoe's on South Anne's Street, Mulligan's on Poolbeg Street, McDaids in Harry Street, Doheny &Nesbitts on Baggott Street ( a popular pre and post Lansdowne Rd match haunt), and Ron Blacks, The Dawson Lounge in Dawson Street - the smallest pub in Dublin (there's also a big Ron Black's up the road, which is probably one of the biggest pubs in Dublin!).
With new licensing laws, a growing number of pubs now have music and late bars, serving until 2.30am, bridging the gap between pubs and clubs. Again the choice is massive, and they do tend to be more expensive. Nevertheless, check out Dakota in South William Street, very cool establishment with a particularly long bar; Ron Black's (the big one!); The Odeon in Harcourt Street, formerly a railway station this has been described as having Fawlty Towers type service, but very cheap wine; and the stylish Kobra Bar in Russell Court Hotel, Harcourt Street.

Bars and clubs in Dublin
Clubs come and go in Dublin - so there's always somewhere new to check out. Generally open from pub closing hours til 3am, expect to pay around Euros 5-15 for entry and the usual inflated prices for drinks. You must be over 18 and bring ID if you're age might be in question. The latest 'in' place drawing the young and beautiful is the Krystle Night Club at the Russell Court Hotel, which is only open from Thursday to Sunday. Other popular venues include Boomerangs and Club M in Temple Bar, Lily Bordello and Dandelion just off. Grafton Street, The Sugar Club on Leeson Street, and Tripod in Harcourt Street. Renards on South Frederick Street is Dublin's first jazz and supper club with a capacity for 150 and offering a top class menu and late bar. The night club is open Thursday through Sunday. The George, at the bottom of Georges Street, is Dublin's most famous and oldest gay bar and nightclub. It has operated for 22 years as a gay venue, despite homosexuality being illegal in Ireland until 1993.
So what about eating in Dublin? Well there's fantastic food to be had in many of the venues mentioned above, along with restaurants to suit every occasion, budget, and taste. Whether you want Irish Stew or Indian, Boiled Ham or Bouillabaisse, you'll find it here. Recommendations include Shanaghan's on the Green, a popular American style steakhouse and seafood restaurant; One Pico, owned by Irish chef Eamonn O'Reilley, serving modern European food; Les Freres Jacques French/Seafood restaurant in Temple Bar; and The Unicorn Café & Restaurant in Merrion Court - which has been serving the finest Italian food for more than 60 years and is famous for its antipasto buffet. One of Dublin's newest additions is Floridita, in Irish Life Mall, Abbey St, which aims to support and export the best of Cuba offering a mix of music, cocktails, cigars and cosmopolitan Cuban and Latin American cuisine.
Finally, a quick word about two of Ireland's greatest exports. If there's one thing you can be sure of finding in Dublin, it's a bloody good pint of Guinness - after all, it originated here, at St James's Gate Brewery in 1759 (a tour is well worth doing). What makes Guinness so distinctive is the roasted barley which remains unfermented and the thick creamy head, a result of a nitrogen mix being added during the serving process. Guinness is the best-selling alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland, and probably one of the best marketing success stories of the last century.
Irish whiskey has had a turbulent history but has made a real comeback on export markets in latter years - mostly blends, but increasingly single malts that match the very best from Scotland. Jameson is one of Ireland's best known brands and was originally distilled in Bow Street, Dublin. Now restored to its former glory, a guided tour is a great way to experience the true 'spirit' of Ireland.
While Jameson (now part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio) has a fantastic reputation, there are plenty of other whiskies emerging from small independent distilleries, rooted in history, that simply should be tried - and a number of bars, including the Temple Bar, are now actively promoting them.
Look out for The Irishman 70 and The Irishman Single Malt, The Tyrconnell (named after a racehorse who won the Irish Classic in 1876 at 100:1), Connemara Peated Single Malt, Greenore, a rare single grain (maize) whiskey, Kilbeggan 15 YO (you can purchase the latter two by the bottle in the VIP section of the Krystle Night Club), Clontarf Single Malt and blend, and Knappogue Castle Vintage Irish Malt.
And lastly..because I happen to be a fan…if you're more a vodka drinker then try Boru ultra premium vodka, named after the legendary King Brian Boru who united Ireland in 1014. Distilled (five times) in Ireland, Boru is clean, crisp and absolutely what good vodka should be.
As the say..Dublin is a fantastic 'craic' - enjoy it.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Enables Flow Rate Control Without Changing Spray Pressure
- Flexibility: Achieve a wide range of flow rates with a single nozzle
- Immediate flow adjustments: Using AutoJet spray controllers, response time of electrically-actuated PulsaJet spray nozzles is almost instantaneous
- Reduced clogging: Maintain low flows even with large spray orifices for improved reliability and reduced maintenance
- Reduced misting: Low flow operation using larger orifices at low pressures reduces the misting common at higher pressures and improves transfer efficiency and safety
- Uniform coating/improved quality: Constant pressure operation prevents variations in spray angle and drop size for more even coating over a wide range of flow rates
Examples of PWM Flow Control Applications in Food Processing:
- Spraying flavors or oils onto bread, pastries and rice cakes
- Surface coloring with egg coating, milk protein, or caramel
- Moistening dough with water to maintain proper consistency
- Misting bread with water to improve seed adhesion
- Spraying food ingredients onto products or into trays
- Spraying water on hamburger patties, vegetables and pizza prior to freezing to maintain proper weight
- Spraying antimicrobial agents onto meat & poultry for food safety
- Spraying sunflower oil on peanuts
- Spraying aroma onto coffee and other food products
What You Need for PWM Flow Control
A fast spray nozzle
Electrically-actuated PulsaJet nozzles achieve speeds up to 10,000 cycles per minute and are ideal for PWM flow control. PulsaJet nozzles also offer accurate spray placement, excellent spray pattern integrity and a choice of hydraulic or air atomizing spray tips.
A spray controller–plus software
AutoJet Technologies offers a wide range of spray control options for manual or automated PWM flow control
regulation. Basic versions offer PulsaJet nozzle control with manual flow adjustment and advanced versions
provide total automation, optional spray detection/verification and more.
Spray knowledge
Effective PWM flow control requires a strong knowledge of how liquids flow and how spray nozzles work. Turning a spray nozzle on and off very quickly is not enough.
Spraying Systems Co. is the global leader in spray technology. Spray nozzles, turnkey spray systems, custom fabrication and research/testing services comprise the company's offering. Spraying Systems Co. has ten manufacturing centers and more than 90 sales offices around the world. More information is available at www.spray.co.za or by contacting the company directly on +27 11 6183860 or email@example.com

Rep. West uses Democratic rival's police mugshot against him in campaign ad
In a bid to hold onto his House seat, freshman Republican Rep. Allen West is making his opponent's bleary mug shot from nine years ago the focus of a blistering ad.
On a single night in February 2003, the ad released Friday notes, West was on an Army base in Texas, preparing to go to war. College student Patrick Murphy, meanwhile, was being arrested outside a Miami-area nightclub after an alleged drunken brawl, the ad says. "Two men, a country in crisis. You decide," says a narrator. The ad from the Florida tea party star uses dramatic music and visuals of a scope's crosshairs to emulate a high-tech spy flick. Murphy's mug shot plays a prominent role in the spot. Murphy's campaign responded by pointing out that Murphy was just 19 when he was arrested and that West was later reprimanded for his conduct in Iraq and was 42 at the time. "The only reason (West) escaped prosecution was that he cut a deal to retire," Murphy campaign manager Anthony Kusich said in a fundraising letter Friday. West is one of the most fiery members of the 2010 freshman class that helped Republicans take control of the House. He's one of several first-termers struggling to defend their seats after a two-year session of gridlock and infighting that dropped Congress' approval ratings to record lows. The GOP is expected to hold the House, but by a smaller margin. West is a top Democratic target this year, in the party's drive to gain 25 seats and the House majority. The release of the ad hints at the cutthroat nature of the race. West won his seat in 2010 on his second go for the House, unseating Democratic Rep. Ron Klein in a competitive district. The race attracted President Barack Obama, who appeared on Klein's behalf, but it wasn't enough to spare the incumbent during a tough year for Democrats. In 2012, conditions are tougher for West as he fights for a second term. Mapmakers in the once-per-decade redistricting process redrew West into a more Democratic district, and he opted to run for re-election in a different district to improve his prospects. But the new turf where West is squaring off with Murphy is winnable for both parties. Murphy, a CPA, has attempted to paint West as too extreme for Florida, and has gotten a hand in fundraising from former President Bill Clinton. Murphy's adviser, Eric Johnson, said it was ironic that West would bring up his own military record in an ad hitting Murphy on legal issues. West, a lieutenant colonel, was reprimanded by the military for allegedly firing a pistol next to an Iraqi's head as he attempted to extract information from the detainee. He was fined $5,000 but allowed to retire with full benefits. Murphy got some backup from the House Majority PAC, a group backing Democratic House candidates across the country, which released an ad Friday that amounts to a greatest-hits reel of West's more controversial statements, including one earlier in 2012 in which he estimated that about 80 House Democrats are Communists. The political action committee said it is spending $1.5 million on Florida airwaves attacking West. Read more: Rep. West uses Democratic rival's police mugshot against him in campaign ad | Fox News |
Re: Rep. West uses Democratic rival's police mugshot against him in campaign ad
My favorite political ad. |
Re: Rep. West uses Democratic rival's police mugshot against him in campaign ad
It is funny .... but West is a retired Colonel. Methinks he is likely intimately familiar with battlefield techniques.

It is pretty good, isn't it? |

oh really ? agassi never had a chance vs sampras @ the USO ?
90 - favorite coming into the final .. had been to the RG final that year ...sampras was a relative nobody until that USO
95 - agassi won what , 26 matches in a row that summer coming into the final ....... had beaten sampras in one of the tourneys before the USO, had beaten him @ the AO
2001 - sampras had no titles for more than an year at that stage and had slumped in the rankings. agassi OTOH was #2
2002- sampras' situation coming into the USO was even worse than before; he had lost to LL bastl @ wimbledon ....was titleless for 2+ years ...
Becker,Edberg and Sampras would baggel him ( federer ) on fast indoor or grass more often than not. - the one and only kiki

Seasonal Vegetables, Fresh Flowers, Musicians Amy and Adams and Budding Farmers for Kids at Saturday's Riverwalk Market Fair
Fresh summer vegetables and flowers, music by Amy and Adams, and vegetable stamp art for kids by Budding Farmers are just part of the fun on Saturday, September 14 at Northfield's Riverwalk Market Fair.
Seasonal Produce From Local Farmers, Artisan Foods, Art and Fine Craft
Produce is abundant at Riverwalk. Expect to find fresh flowers, kale, carrots, onions, broccoli, potatoes, eggplant, green beans, hot peppers, bell peppers, cabbage, melons, tomatoes, winter squash, and eggs grown by local farmers. Artisan foods include a variety of fresh-baked breads, pastries, tarts and quiches from Ruthie's Kitchen, Martha's Eats and Treats, Crack of Dawn Artisan Breads, and Rebecca's Greek Kouzina. Maria's Taco Hut serves freshly made and wholesome Mexican food.
Watercolors, photographs, handcrafted leather goods, ceramics, glass art, hand crafted accessories, and jewelry are among the art and fine crafts for sale. (For a complete list of the vendors scheduled for this Saturday visit www.RiverwalkMarketFair.org.)
Apples are Here
The 2013 apple crop is looking good, and Pat McBride of McBride Farm in Wanamingo is pleased. 2012 was a terrible year for apples. A warm March was followed by an April freeze and topped off by hail and drought so most of the 2012 apple crop was lost. Many local growers also lost their 2010 crop to frost. After poor crops in two of the past four years, an abundant harvest is doubly welcome. Zestar, Williams Pride, and Red Free varieties are abundant now. Honey Crisp will be available by the end of September, followed by Haralson, Fireside, and Connell Red. https://www.localharvest.org/mcbride-farm-M36591
Featured Artist Gerie Thelen of Just Me Geralyn and Glass
Geralyn Thelen has been experimenting with new glass color combinations this summer in her vases, serving trays and lawn ornaments. In addition to her trademark blue-green-yellow combinations she has started a color line in grays with red accents, another in oranges, and third in bold florals. One very interesting piece features fused pottery shards in a golden yellow serving plate. What is Gerie's best seller? "Everyone loves vases," Gerie said. They are favorite gifts for weddings and at the holidays. Stop by and see Geralyn's new works in glass. http://www.justmegeralynandglass.com
Musicians Amy and Adams and Budding Farmers Activities for Kids.
Minneapolis musicians Amy & Adamsperform Saturday at Riverwalk. Mark and Amy Adams-Westin offer an engaging combination of original and cover tunes, with just the right stylistic mix of the new and the recognizable that they call Eclectic/FolkRock/TinPanAlley/Bluesgrass. Expect a sumptuous tapestry of guitars, vocals, keyboards, mandolin, ukulele and flutes. http://www.amyandadams.com
Kids can create art using stamps in various shapes cut from fresh vegetables and paint at Riverwalk on Saturday courtesy of the Budding Farmers program. At Riverwalk even the vegetables are a work of art! http://buddingfarmers.com

MOSCOW, Russia – For the second time in her career, former Lady Tiger NCAA champion Nickiesha Wilson will line up in the final of the women's 400-meter hurdles at the IAAF World Championship in Athletics after matching her 2013 seasonal best of 54.94 seconds for the eighth-fastest time in Tuesday's semifinal round at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
Wilson, who previous ran 54.94 in a third-place finish at the Jamaican National Senior Championships in June, matched her seasonal best to take fifth place in the first semifinal heat to grab the eighth and final spot into the championship final. She will return to action on Thursday at 11:45 a.m. CT to run the final of the women's 400 hurdles.
Wilson followed the Czech Republic's Zuzana Hejnova (53.52), USA's Dalilah Muhammad (54.08), Great Britain's Eilidh Child (54.32) and Ukraine's Anna Yaroshchuk (54.92) across the finish line in the first heat.
Rounding out the finalists were the top three finishers in the second heat with Great Britain's Perri Shakes-Drayton (53.92), USA's Lashinda Demus (54.22) and Ukraine's Anna Titimets (54.63) qualifying automatically.
Wilson, the 2008 NCAA champion in the 400-meter hurdles, has advanced to the World Championships final for the first time since her debut appearance in 2007 when she nearly captured a place on the medal stand in a fourth-place finish when the championship was held in Osaka, Japan. That was the season in which Wilson set her lifetime personal best and school record of 53.97 in the World Championships semifinals.
Former LSU teammate Isa Phillips saw his run to the final come up short in the semifinal round of the men's 400-meter hurdles when he ran the 13th-fastest time of the day with a seasonal best of 49.28 for fifth place in the first heat. Three heats were contested in the men's semifinals with the top two in each heat and those with the next two fastest times advancing to the final.
The action continues for LSU's contingent during Wednesday's morning session as reigning NCAA Outdoor champion Damar Forbes takes flight in the qualifying round of the men's long jump beginning at 1:25 a.m. CT.

I liked tonight's episode. My GF is funny with how she feels about the characters though. She thinks Andrea and Rick's Wife should both just be shot for being stupid.
I was surprised they just had Daryle shrug off being shot with a "Dont let it happen again" sort of attitude.
Rick should of been stooge slapped for letting his kid be trained by Shane when he did though. Yeah, the kid needs to know how to soot but he JUST stole a pistol and lied to his Mom. Lets reward him and follow it up with a "He wont let you down" comment to Mom. Hey, he just did let her down, why would now be any different?
