Dropping a lid in your sink can cause the lid to become jammed in the drain and prevent the sink from draining, but you can remove the jammed lid yourself with a little work and patience. Keep in mind that the size of the lid and the way the lid is jammed into the drain can affect the lid removal process. To avoid jamming the lid farther into the sink drain while attempting to remove it, use a gentle touch.
Step 1
Twist the drain stopper to unscrew it from the sink, if applicable.
Step 2
Pry the lid up and away from the edge of the drain to remove it, using a butter knife or other long, thin object.
Step 3
Pull the lid out with a toilet plunger, if a butter knife did not work. Hold the plunger to the sink drain the same way you plunge a toilet. Press down and pull.
Step 4
Turn off the water to your sink, if the lid is still stuck. Place a bucket under the sink trap pipe underneath your sink. Wrap the jaws of your wrench or pliers with tape. Unscrew the trap from the sink, using the wrench or pliers. Use a chopstick, knife or other long object to push the lid down the drain, if possible.

*Another post from my weekend in Texas.*
This weekend Fiance and I flew to Texas for our second wedding shower. That's right, TWO wedding showers for this lucky couple. Typically showers feel awkward as everyone sits around and watches the bride open kitchenware after kitchenware. She pretends to be excited about the toaster that she herself picked out… Well, I now know that it is not at all awkward when it's my own shower.
I love opening presents (especially ones that I picked out!), I love being the center of attention, I love seeing my friends and family, and I LOVE snack food. My shower was perfect. I got to see SSOOO many people whom I rarely get to see, some I haven't seen in years. My first grade teacher even came! Although, I am probably the only person in the world who still talks to her first grade teacher.
Fiance and I got so many gifts that we feel like the most spoiled couple! My mother ordered a pretty awesome cake for the event, and even arranged for some special vegetarian/dairy free finger foods for me to enjoy. I am even excited about getting back and starting on all of our thank you cards. I truly enjoy writing cards and letters to people so thank you cards feel more like pen pal writing than a chore for me.
The best part of my weekend in Texas though, was spending time with some of the most freakin' cutest adorable little babies I've ever snuggled! THREE of my close friends had babies in January. I am always so sad to miss big events like that, but it was so great to get to see them this weekend…all boys by the way.
I am pretty sure that some people walking into my shower had these thoughts running through their mind:
Oh shoot, is this a baby shower?!
Did Hilarie have a baby?
Why isn't there a nursery?
That was definitely the look on some faces as they came through the door, mostly because I had a baby in my arms through the entire event. I was actually told I had to put the babies down to open presents.
It's amazing how much you can love a baby the first time you hold them, or even before you hold them. I am just so happy for all my friends who have started their beautiful families. And, thank you for allowing me to call myself "Aunt Hilarie" every time I'm around. Also, I'd really appreciate it if you show them my picture at least once every day and repeat my name a few times. I'd hate for them to forget their favorite honorary "aunt" who promises to bring presents each time she comes to visit. Thanks.
"Aunt" Hilarie

Cream of Wheat and Iron
Cream of Wheat is a popular hot breakfast cereal that has been produced and sold since 1893. B&G Foods, the makers of Cream of Wheat, conducted a survey of women about their iron consumption and their perceptions of it. The company reports that 55 percent of adult women responded that they believed they met the recommended daily value of 18 mg of iron. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that only 10 percent of women actually consume that much iron. Cream of Wheat and other fortified breakfast cereals an help you meet your daily iron requirements.
Iron Content
Cream of Wheat is made from wheat farina and partially defatted wheat germ. ALthough these ingredients do not contain a significant amount of iron, the cereal is fortified with ferric phosphate as a source of iron. A single serving of cooked Cream of Wheat cereal provides 45 percent of the recommended daily amount of iron for women.
Iron Requirements
Adult men need 8 mg of iron daily. Women need significantly more -- they should consume 18 mg each day. During pregnancy, this jumps to 27 mg of iron daily. Children and teens are among the groups at risk of iron deficiency because rapid growth may deplete the body's iron stores. Children ages 1 to 3 need 7 mg of iron daily. This increases to 10 mg between ages 4 and 8, then decreases to 8 mg between ages 9 and 13. Adolescent males need 11 mg daily, while females should receive 15 mg. Children under 18 should meet their iron needs from the foods they eat. Do not give iron supplements to children unless directed to do so by your doctor.
Iron from animal sources is absorbed efficiently by your body. Plant-based foods, including fortified cereals such as Cream of Wheat, may provide plenty of iron, but your body does not absorb it as well. Vitamin C increases the bioavailability of the iron you consume. Try to eat iron-rich foods, such as Cream of Wheat, along with a source of vitamin C. A glass of orange juice, half a grapefruit, or a serving of melon are all good choices.
Serving Suggestions
Try adding various toppings to your Cream of Wheat for variety, flavor and added nutritional value. Sprinkle a 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries or blueberries on top of your favorite Cream of Wheat for a breakfast that provides 20% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. Or stir in 1/4 cup of almonds to get 6 g of your recommended daily amount of protein. Molasses, honey or brown sugar can add just a touch of sweetness to a bowl of original Cream of Wheat.

Jawbone UP Fitness Gadget on Sale at Apple, AT&T, Best Buy
Just in time for the holiday season, when diets seem to go out the window in favor of endless tasty treats, a new smart fitness device hitting store shelves today aims to help you stay on track with your personal health and fitness goals.
The Jawbone UP, a simple-looking wristband capable of collecting data about your activity throughout the day as well as sleep patterns at night, is now on sale in the U.S. The device, which comes in eight colors, is available for $129 from Jawbone's U.S. online store, as well as Apple, AT&T, and Best Buy stores nationwide.
The band, which has a 10-day battery life, is meant to be worn 24/7. It's slim enough to slide under sleeves yet strong enough to "stand up to a snowball fight without a problem (or more likely, a few thousand showers)," according to the product's website.
The band itself captures data about your every move, and includes a "stopwatch mode" that lets you highlight active periods. It can even remind you to move more during the day if it notices long periods of motionlessness, or gently vibrate to wake you up at the optimal point of your sleep cycle.
Paired with Jawbone apps on Apple mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads, Jawbone UP collects and analyzes the data to help you make better sense of your habits and lifestyles, identifying, for example, the effects of exercise on your ability to sleep deeply.
Using the app, you can keep a record of what you eat and drink by taking a photo of your meal, scanning the product's barcode, or searching an ingredient database with nutrition information. The app gives you a daily dashboard, letting you quickly check with your progress and see how your friends are doing.
The UP app is currently only available for iOS devices running version 5.1 or greater, including the iPhone 3GS or later, third-gen iPod touch or later, or iPad. Those with an iOS device can download the app for free in Apple's U.S. and Canadian App Stores.
The UP 2.0 app will be available in other international App Stores by early 2013. In addition, an Android app is "coming soon," Jawbone said.
The band is available in small, medium, and large in the following colors: onyx, mint green, light grey, blue, navy blue, red, orange, and hunter green.

"John Vaillant is a literary shaman."
Quill & Quire
- Canada
"Vaillant is able to empathise so fully with both human and animal protagonists that it is hard to believe he wasn't there."
The Financial Times
"What makes
The Tiger
a grand addition to the animal-pursuit subgenre is the sensitive way in which Vaillant evokes his cat. Few writers have taken such pains to understand their monsters, and few depict them in such arresting prose."
The New York Times Book Review
Annie Proulx
: "
The Tiger
is the sort of book I very much like and rarely find. Humans are hard-wired to fear tigers, so this book will attract intense interest. In addition to tiger lore and scalding adventure, Vaillant shows us Russia's far east and its inhabitants, their sometimes desperate lives interwoven with the economics of poaching and the politics of wildlife conservation. This is a book not only for adventure buffs, but for all of us interested in wildlife habitat preservation."
"This elegant work of narrative non-fiction has it all– beauty, intrigue, a primeval locale, fully realized characters, and a conflict that speaks to the state of our world. Obsessively well-researched and artfully written,
The Tiger
takes us on a journey to the raw edge of civilization, to a world of vengeful cats and venal men, a world that, in Vallant's brilliant telling, is simultaneously haunting and enchanting." —
Hampton Sides
Ghost Soldiers, Blood and Thunder,
Hellhound On His Trail
"This book is magnificent, surely the best chronicle ever published of the wild Amur tigers and their human associates in Russia's Far East. . . . To call this book a page-turner is an understatement. It's riveting." –

"This book must be read by everybody who is interested in the conservation of wildlife. It takes you to the Russian wilderness to meet face-to-face with the Siberian tiger." –

"An absolutely superb book. There have been many tiger books but none which so deeply try to probe the mind of tigers and the mind and habits of humans living in the same forest." –
George Schaller
, NBA Winner,
The Serengeti Lions
". . . suspenseful and majestically narrated. Vaillant has written a mighty elegy. . ." –
Publisher's Weekly
(Starred Review)
"What spirits this adventure narrative from compelling to brilliant is Vaillant's use of the tiger hunt as an allegorical lens through which to understand the cultural, economic, and environmental devastation of post-Communist Russia." –
Library Journal
(Starred review)
"It's a travelogue, a natural history, the forensic unravelling of a murder scene and a jaw-dropping portrait of post-communist rural life. . . . It reads like a sci-fi novel set in a lost dystopia and yet it is the moving, enthralling portrait of some courageous, real Russians." –

Ray-Pec to wear special uniforms
By Cole Young PrepsKC staff writer
Chris Barnes may not be to the level of Nike founder Phil Knight or Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, but his affinity for Raymore-Peculiar could be considered similar to Knight's fondness of Oregon or Plank's for Maryland.
Barnes, the president of Siege Athletics and Ray-Pec alum, will roll out the first special uniforms for the Panthers on Sept. 21 in a home game against Lee's Summit.
"Our kids really are excited about it and that's what the high school experience is all about," head coach Tom Kruse said of wearing a special uniform for one game. "It's going to be fun, we're all looking forward to it."
The uniforms, called the Siege Athletics Warhead, are an urban camouflage look for both the jersey's and pants. While many colleges have gone with a camouflage jersey for a military appreciation game, few if any have used a camouflage print on the pants as well.
The uniforms, which the Panthers will wear for just one game, are unlike any uniform other local teams have worn.
"What we are going for is to bring the college experience to high school level," Barnes said. "The way they dress the way, they take the field, the way the fans look, think of it almost as an SEC environment. Then, we wanted to take it further. We wanted to push the envelope in the way the uniform looks."
The uniforms are a tighter fit than most other uniforms, lighter than most and are made of a four-way stretch material.
The ultimate goal of Barnes and Siege Athletics is to get into the uniform business on a nationwide level. It begins Friday though with this set of football uniforms. The group also owns Jerry's Sports Shop, which they purchased on March 31. Between the two separate companies, it's the goal of Barnes to try and reach as many teams as possible, giving them an alternative to the standard look of their opponents.
"Turn on the TV and everyone wears the same stuff," Barnes said. "Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, it all looks the same. No one wants to look the same, they want different things and that is where I came in. We do different things from the feel, to the look, to the design."
After meeting with Barnes for the first time, Kruse was quick to see Barnes' excitement and willingness to help Ray-Pec.
The relationship began with the home opener which was termed a "blackout" game, where Siege sold special shirts for the game through the booster club.
"We started with a simple blackout game and we came out and the entire stadium was black," Kruse said. "People here eat those kinds of things up. Working with them has been great and I know it's been a big help to the booster club and getting our apparel out there. When he came with this opportunity to try a camo game I was a little hesitant but once he sent me the design I thought 'I kind of like this.'"
For Barnes it's a chance to help out his old high school and also get his product noticed around the metro area. Moreover, he's hopeful that company's product can help teams once they take the field
"What I've noticed is teams ask 'How can we differentiate ourselves from our competitors. How can I come up with something that my kids can get excited about.'" Barnes said. "…When these kids take the field I want them to have a competitive advantage by the way they look."

To make a great tasting burger or should I say great tasting food it's about the attention put into the quality of ingredients. I don't skimp on food. Even though running a food business/restaurant has high costs and low margins. It's what makes customers come back. The attention paid to the food you are serving.

US OPEN FINAL LIVE: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal - follow the action as it happened from Flushing Meadows
Follow Sportsmail's live coverage of the US Open final from Flushing Meadows as Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal go head-to-head for the 37th time.
New York was the scene of Andy Murray's first Grand Slam victory last year, but this time around it will be the world No 1 and 2 who do battle, with Nadal seeking his 13th major title and Djokovic his seventh.
Sportsmail's Tennis Correspondent Mike Dickson and Sportsmail's Stuart Fraser will be providing their insight from court side and you can get in touch by tweeting @ThomDrake1.
Host commentator
So there you have it. Major No 13 for Nadal and his second US Open title. It can only be a matter of time before he takes back his No 1 ranking as well.
Stunning performance for the Spaniard who was a well deserved champion today. Bring on the ATP World Tour Finals!
Speaking on court after his victory, Nadal said: 'It's very, very emotional.
'Playing against Novak is always a very special feeling, he brings the best out of my game.
'I'm sure he will finish being one of the best players of the sport.'
'Stunning from Nadal. When he took his long sabbatical from the game due to knee problems, some wondered if he could ever play on hard courts again.
'Well, what a response. He hasn't lost a hard-court match since his return and becomes the first man since Andy Roddick in 2003 to win the Canada Masters, Cincinnati Masters and US Open in the same year.'
Rafael Nadal regains the US Open title!
Thoroughly dominant, the Spaniard has shown who really is the world's best player. Apart from a blip in the second set when Djokovic went into overdrive, Nadal was supremely in control.
When's he's on song, nobody can stop Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic gets a few more first serves in and he moves to a 30-0 lead. If only they were there at the start of the set. Or the end of the third. Or in the first. A day of 'what ifs' really for him.
However, three unforced errors, taking his account up to 52, gives Nadal three break points which are effectively match points.
The Spaniard comes up to the net and Djokovic tries, but fails to pass. Nadal breaks. One game left in the match...
'Djokovic being pummelled like a boxer on the ropes now. Surely no way back against the extraordinary Nadal.'
For all the pressure exerted by Djokovic the raging Spanish bull on the other side of the court is letting nothing pass. People say he could be the greatest tennis player of all time and when he plays like this it's hard to argue.
Nadal comes back from a tricky start to the game to hold his serve and his nerve. More shouting out just before he releases the ball but nothing will stop him now.
It's easy to think that Djokovic has tailed off here, but Nadal has just refused to budge. His lack of unforced errors suggests that.
Some relief for Djokovic as his first serve keeps him in the fourth set.
'Nadal with the momentum in this fourth set, although it is only one break and Djokovic is renowned for battling back from the brink.
'New York crowd chanting ''Novak, Novak''. They want to see some more tennis.'
This match could be coming to an end, folks. Nadal is easily on top and Djokovic seems to be trying to end points as quickly as possible. Perhaps his five-setter against Wawrinka is taking effect.
An easy hold for Nadal as he races towards the finish line.
It's all drifting away from Djokovic.
He loses his concentration and some more basic errors makes it 0-30. Nadal gets up onto the baseline and hammers away at Djokovic's backhand before it relents, giving him three triple break point.
A neat serve and volley from Djokovic saves the first chance and then he becomes the luckiest man in New York when he hits the net cord and the ball trickles over onto Nadal's side.
Nothing he could do on the third break point, however, as the Spaniard thumps a forehand down the line out of reach and screams in delight. Nadal breaks.
Djokovic senses an opening on Nadal's serve at 15-30 and then gets on his bike to hit a stunning drop shot at the net. Even Queen Sofia of Spain is astonished in the crowd.
On break point Djokovic tries just a little too much hitting his forehand wide and lets out an audible sigh of disappointment. He gets another chance though when Nadal misfires but can't keep it in the court once again.
Nadal hangs in there and forges ahead in the fourth.
We all knew Djokovic would have to be on the attack if he was to stand a chance today, and he is leading the winners count 38 to 20.
Unfortunately for him, he also leads the unforced errors after that third set, 42 to 17. Too many wayward shots in the last 30 minutes.
'Hard to recall a match with so many unexpected twists and turns. Those four straight points for Nadal just came out of nowhere.
'Hard to see how Novak will respond to that punch to the solar plexus. That was among the best sets these two have ever played.'
Djokovic will be absolutely kicking himself after losing that set. He storms off for a toilet break but will be seething inside after seeing a 0-40 lead on Nadal's serve in the previous go completely against him.
It's going to take some courage, determination and class to turn this one around.
Champagne moment if ever there was one! The stadium erupts and everyone is one there feet.
First Nadal tries to lob the Serb, who manages to get it back with a backhand smaash over his shoulder. Then Nadal tried the drop shot, but Djokovic raced in. Finally managed to squeeze a volley down the line as the world No 1's defences are finally broken.
With the game at 30-30 Djokovic puts the easiest forehand of the match into the net and Nadal has break point. Make that set point.
Nadal goes wide with a forehand and Djokovic puts another simple hit out. Set Nadal
'Talk about bringing your best when it really matters. Nadal saved that second break point by equalling his fastest serve of the tournament at 125mph.'
Brilliance from Djokovic. He tries the drop shot but Nadal runs in as if he expected it. Under pressure with the Spaniard right in front of him Djokovic deftly dinks it back over his head and into the corner.
On the next point Nadal looses his footing as if in slow motion. He comically tries to play a shot but was always falling over.
Concentrating on Nadal fall, the crowd don;t seem to notice the score which has gone to 0-30. After a powerful return from Djokovic he brings up three break points at a vital time in the set.
Nadal saves the first, then the second and smashes down an ace on the third. What a time to produce that sort of magic!
He moves to 5-4 ahead and Djokovic must be deflated after losing that game from the position he was in.
'Approaching the two and a half hour mark and we may only be halfway through. Remember that four hour and 53 minute epic in Melbourne?
'Incredibly, both players will be playing in Europe on clay on Friday for their respective countries in Davis Cup. Djokovic travels to Belgrade to play for Serbia against Canada, while Nadal represents Spain against Ukraine in Madrid.
'Which one will enjoy his homecoming as US Open champion? Tough to say.'
A bit of a lull in proceedings at the moment as both players exchange easy service holds.
Neither player has been shy in coming to the net and Nadal currently leads the success rate 69 per cent to 62.
Too many mistakes from the world No 1 as he puts a simple volley wide. A first double fault from Nadal in the match but it doesn't stop him going ahead in the set.
'A big tennis gear manufacturer used to have slogan ''Play as loud as you can''.
'That's certainly what these two are doing. The phenomenal level Djokovic reached early in this set just slipped there and Nadal breaks back. Really could go either way.'
The door opens slightly at 30-15 but slams quickly shut when Djokovic pulverises a forehand past the Spaniard's defences. Not to be beaten so easily, Nadal forces it to deuce and then sees a wild Djokovic shot go well out.
Can Nadal break back? He sure can! Another untimely miss from Djokovic makes it all square in the third.
'Andy Murray may not be contesting tonight's final but that hasn't put off these four members of the Tartan Army who are making the most of their tickets for the final.'
I'm not sure anyone could live with Djokovic in this sort of mood. Nadal is cowering every time he has to hit a second serve.
Saying that, he is gutsy. Nadal fights his way through another service game to keep in sight.
We've just passed the two-hour mark. I hope you guys can stay with me for the end of this. Something special is certainly brewing.
At the end of that last game, Djokovic has won 68 points overall and Nadal 69, even though the Spaniard is now a break down in the third.
Djokovic breezes through his service game with an unreturnable serve to finish.
No easy service games for Nadal now as his opponent rises through the gears.
Every return from Djokovic has an extra 5mph on it than before. Another long rally finishes with a winner from Djokovic down the line and the game goes to deuce.
As if to demonstrate the way he has fought back into this match he thrashes a return of serve back past Nadal before he can move. Not to be on break point as he hits long though.
Nadal then pulls out a clever drop shot which leaves the world No 1 stranded and finally gets through the game.
'Been doing a bit of detective work and spoke to the man who upset the Nadal camp.
'He says they were unhappy about shouting from someone during the rallies but claims it was a case of mistaken identity.
'No doubt over who he supports though - he's been up on his feet on several occasions applauding Djokovic's successful points.'
Something's missing from the Nadal of the first set as he fires another forehand wide. The intensity of his shots are the same but the accuracy's not quite there. He seems hurried.
Djokovic into the net this time and finds himself stretching too far, unable to get the volley over the cord and the game to deuce.
However, he holds with an ace and makes it four games in a row.
'Djokovic really is an amazing competitor, the engine of his defiance has taken a while but it has stuttered into life. Notably stuck closer to the baseline that set and pushed Rafa much further back.'
We have a match on our hands now... Nadal dominated the first set but was on the back foot for most of the second.
A couple of tense forehands and Nadal goes to 0-30. He then frames and approach and Djokovic has break point. A super return from the Serbs forces Nadal into another mistake and Djokovic breaks straight away in the third.
So, crunch time for the 2011 champion Djokovic.
He couldn't hold his serve when he broke the last time but has the extra motivation here of making it one set apiece if he can now.
After a tense couple of opening points Djokovic attempts a smash which Nadal gets his racket to. Djokovic watches it sail past him and out by a couple of inches. Set point.
And then to make sure he rips a backhand down the line and its all square.
'You get the impression that Djokovic winning this set is non-negotiable for him.
'He played over four hours in his semi and Nadal is the last person you want to go five against in those circumstances.'
At the end of that last game Djokovic shaped to smash his racket on the ground but thought better of it. Not sure it would have done anything to improve his game.
Having broken back, Nadal looked like holding with ease at 40-15. He gets taken to deuce but comes out of it unscathed. More shouting from the world No 1 but he keeps his head enough to eek out another break point chance.
This time it's Nadal pinned behind the baseline and can't withstand the Serb's pressure as Djokovic breaks.
'That incredible 54-shot rally was easily the longest of the tournament, beating the 35-shot exchange between Djokovic and Wawrinka in the semis.
'Could have been a game changer for Djokovic but he will be desperately disappointed at his failure to take advantage of the momentum.'
How on earth do we follow that. One of the greatest points I've ever seen!
Djokovic doesn't seem to be able to get over it either. A double fault makes it 0-30 and a shot long takes it to 0-40.
The Serb saves the first one and Nadal hits the net with the next. The crowd begin chanting 'Djokovic! Djokovic!' but their man can't save another and Nadal breaks back.
That's got the crowd alive!
Djokovic shoved out wide from a powerful Nadal shot but makes the mistake of coming to the net. Djokovic lefts a delicate lob over his head and onto the baseline.
A sneaky approach from the world No 1 and he completes the drop volley to bring up a break point. His third of this set. What a time it would be to break.
Nadal reverts to the slice to keep himself in the point and suddenly goes on the aggressive. Djokovic is on the back foot but hangs on desperately. They shots keep coming and finally, on the 54th shot of the rally, Nadal hits the net. Djokovic breaks.
'Update: It appears that the gentleman has been given a reprieve as he is back in his seat after being escorted outside. All appears calm for now...'
'Great line from John McEnroe: ''Hasn't someone told Connery that Murray's not here?''.
Signs that Djokovic is picking up his game, nice easy hold after missing those break chances.'
Djokovic releases some pent-up aggression with a fierce winner but Nadal responds in the next point with a half-volley slapped onto the line.
Nadal again unsure about a line-call but this time lets it go and Djokovic stays in front.
The points are getting longer and it's taking more to win each one. Another 20 plus shot rally ends with Nadal flicking a backhand cross-court out of his opponent's reach.
More chuntering from Djokovic who clearly isn't happy with the way he's playing. This is definitely the world No 1 who played against Stan Wawrinka on Saturday, not the one who won the meeting between these two in the 2011 final.
'Nadal's camp furious at a gentleman sitting around ten metres away from their box. Unclear what for but Toni Nadal was on his feet pointing angrily at the man in question who has just been ejected from the stadium by security.'
A bit of drama in the stands now as the man shouting out in the last game has been asked to leave. Nadal's mentor, his uncle Toni, stood up and walked towards him as security looked to track him down.
Back on the court the wind has started to get up and you would think serving will become a bit more difficult. Djokovic slides into the net and wrong-foots Nadal after a tremendous 20 plus shot rally.
It's taking him some effort to win every point, but Djokovic manages to hold.
'Not auguring well for Novak, a 42 minute set when these two meet is positively a thrashing. Nadal showcasing all his skills including his often underestimated touch around the net, Djokovic pressing too hard with his forehand in particular.'
Here we go then, some errors creeping into Nadal's game.
He races to the net but gets caught by a wicked passing shot from the Serb and his volley drifts out. At 0-30 Djokovic hammers his backhand again and again, but eventually has to go to Nadal's other side, which proves costly.
After someone in the crowd shouts out midway through the point, Nadal speaks to the umpire and then he receives a round of boos when he questions a linesman's call. They appear to put him off as Djokovic finally gets his first break point opportunities.
There's no way past though. A deflated Djokovic can't take advantage and his best chance of breaking so far goes begging.
I wouldn't say there were fireworks in that first set, but Nadal's forehands was giving off mini explosions.
Djokovic slips early in the game and gifts Nadal the point to make it 15-15. He desperately needs a quick start here to get himself back in the match.
He creams a backhand up the line and gets the first game on the scoreboard of the second set.
'Star-studded audience here at the Arthur Ashe Stadium with David Beckham, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jessica Alba, Alec Baldwin, Justin Timberlake and Queen Sofia of Spain amongst those in attendance.
And good to see Sir Sean Connery back for more despite the absence of his favourite Scottish tennis player.'
As stats go, this one is rather telling. In the whole tournament so far, Nadal has only faced 12 break points, saving 11 of them. If Djokovic is to stand a chance he needs to find some way of penetrating that Nadal serve.
Nadal is pushing his opponent out wide, giving himself the whole court to aim for on the next shot and time after time it's working.
Djokovic with another unforced error and Nadal takes the set.
What a point! Nadal is sent wide and Djokovic has to come in for the smash. He hits it straight at the Spaniard who manages to retrieve it and then race in to pick off Djokovic's next volley.
0-15 quickly becomes 0-30 with a powerful return and this first set is only going one way.
Using his forehand to find some incredible angles Nadal breaks to love and is just one game away from taking the first set.
Nadal is already drenched in sweat but you understand why. The whip and twist of his back and left arm when he smacks one of his forehands is extraordinary.
He pushes the Serb into making a couple of mistakes the score quickly becomes 40-0.
Djokovic tries the drop shot but extreme power becoming stunning pace and he races in to clip the ball back over the net.
At last a simple game for Djokovic. Big first serves do the damage and Nadal doesn't get a look in.
Djokovic needs to get Nadal moving around the court as his forehand is dominating every point so far.
'First angry/frustrated looks up to his box from Djokovic as 0-30 on Rafa's serve goes begging. Did a lot of that in semis, good sign for the Spaniard.'
Looking to consolidate his break, Nadal hits the net to go 0-30 down and Djokovic is sensing an opening. He pummels a shot into the backhand of Nadal but the Spaniard is the best defensive player on the planet and gets it back to win the point.
A helicopter appears right above the stadium which can only be off-putting for the players. But maybe not Rafa who reels off three straight points.
Although the game goes to deuce, Nada'sl defences stay firm and he leaves Novak chuntering away already. Not a good sign.
'Intriguing to see tonight what inroads Djokovic can make on Nadal's serve.
'The Spaniard has been broken just once in 82 service games at this year's US Open. His fastest serve is just 125mph - interestingly 1mph slower than Serena Williams' quickest effort - but his precision and accuracy is what causes the returner so many problems.'
Both players trying to pressure the second serve and it starts to pay off for Rafa. He gets Djokovic on the run and the Serb hits it long to bring up the first break point of the final.
Forehand to forehand they go, cross-court to cross-court, and Nadal is the first to blink, finding the net. Djokovic can't keep him off though and another break point chance comes the way of the Spaniard
He pushes Djokovic back and back before unleashes a blistering forehand into the corner. Nadal breaks.
Nadal bashes down a few big serves to give himself a head start in the second game. Since returning from his knee injury that has been a notable improvement in his armoury.
Some long rallies already, with both players trying to be the one up against the baseline. Djokovic responds to Rafa's early points by hammering a return up the line for a winner. Nadal nets a backhand and the crowd stir as the game goes to deuce.
Nadal holds firm though to level it up.
Djokovic gets into gear with a couple of big forehands and Rafa goes long to give him the first point. The next time he comes into the net, an interesting tactic seeing as many experts are saying he'll need to vary things up to get past Nadal.
Finishing the game off with an ace, Djokovic makes the first hold.
As they take their seats for one final time before the match gets underway, it's worth saying that one member of the 'big four' has won 34 out of the last 35 Grand Slams.
Only Juan Martin del Potro at the US Open in 2009 could break that streak.
Djokovic picks ups the balls. The world No 1 is about to get us up and running...
Nadal and Djokovic stroll out onto Arthur Ashe and camera's click for each side of the stadium.
Everyone's gaze is transfixed on the two gladiators as they enter the arena, with Nadal dressed all in grey, reminiscent of the Manchester United away strip in the mid-90s, which Djokovic all in red.
We're just five minutes away from the start of what is expected to a match that take's the term 'epic' to another level. I for one really cannot wait.
'Quite windy here as has been the case most of the tournament. That surely helps and adds to the conviction that he will emerge the victor. Quite cool as well. A relatively prompt start.'
So let's remind ourselves of how the pair got to this stage.
Djokovic had to come through Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka, the conqueror of Andy Murray, in five gruelling sets 2-6 7-6 3-6 6-3 6-4.
The Serb was warned during the match for being coached from his box, and his usual calm and composed demeanour was replaced by one of rage and outward emotion.
As for Nadal, he beat Richard Gasquet in straight sets 6-4 7-6 6-2, using up much less energy than today's opponent.
However, with the final now on Monday, both players have had an extra day's rest than previous years, so you hope it shouldn't make too much difference.
If you want to relive last night's women's final when Serena won her fifth US Open title you can with our Tennis Correspondent Mike Dickson.
Djokovic admitted that to win the title he would have to beat the best in the world.
'With no doubt he's the best player in the moment this year,' said Djokovic.
'It's always the biggest challenge that you can have in our sport now. I mean, he's the ultimate competitor out there.
'He's fighting for every ball and he's playing probably the best tennis that he has ever played on hard courts.'
One big question that has come out of this year's Open is whether we are finally witnessing the demise of Roger Federer.
Knocked out by Tommy Robredo in straight sets in the fourth round, it was a massive blow to the 17-time major winner. He had already dropped to No 6 in the world and was seeded seventh at Flushing Meadows.
Federer said he would come back stronger, but you just wonder how much his legs have still got in them.
'This year's US Open has not been the most exciting of Grand Slams in recent years but you can feel the anticipation around the grounds ahead of tonight's men's final.
'Nadal and Djokovic face each other for the 37th time, a new record in the Open era. These two have a tendency to bring out the absolute best in each other and another bruising encounter is expected.
'Nadal to win in four sets.'
Speaking ahead of the final, Nadal joked: 'I prefer to play against another opponent.
'Talking about a final, I want to play against a player that I have more chances to win.
'Novak is a great opponent. There are other ones, but it's true we have already played a lot of important matches for our career, so that makes that confrontation special.
'And when you have the chance to win against the most difficult players, it's true that the victory is more special.
'But not in a final of the US Open. In the final of the US Open, what's really is important is to win the tournament, not the opponent.'
It's 12 months since Andy Murray finally broke his major hoodoo by winning the US Open title, and tonight either Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal will become the next to inherit that crown.
This will be the 37th meeting between the two, equalling John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl on the most number of matches played by any pair.
Nadal currently leads the record 21-15, but Djokovic can take heart that he has won the last two Grand Slam finals they played on hard courts: the US Open in 2011 and the Australian Open in 2012.

Lying Liberal Liars
According to the New York Times, Obama "misspoke" when he said over and over again that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. But unlike the times that the smartest man to ever put up his feet on the table in the Oval Office thought that Austrian was a language or that the United States had 57 states, he wasn't misspeaking.
44, as Politico likes to call him, was doing what 1 wouldn't do after he chopped down a cherry tree. And to call a lie, misspeaking, is itself a lie.
Rob Ford didn't misspeak when he claimed not to be on crack, despite being on crack. Barack Obama didn't misspeak when he promised to let you keep your health plan, when he had no intention of letting you do any such thing. And the New York Times didn't misspeak when it tried to pass that lie off as a mere slip of the tongue.
The New York Times, which never hesitated to call George W. Bush a liar, switched up its euphemisms and began calling Obama's lie an "incorrect promise". NBC News called it a "promise they couldn't keep." The Associated Press called it an "inflated promise."
A few of their more honestly dishonest colleagues in the media argued that Obama did the right thing because he could never have pried the health plans of Americans out of their grubby little hands if he hadn't promised them that his government takeover of healthcare would affect everyone else but them. Some of the pundits making that argument included those on Obama's regular reading list.
The excuse that Obama lied blatantly about the impact of a law he wanted to pass in order to pass it will no doubt be a great comfort to those gun owners who were willing to trust that his crusade against gun rights would stop where he told them it would and those Republican supporters of amnesty for illegal aliens who believed that he really would secure the borders once he got his millions of newly minted Democratic Party voters
If Obama lied to pass one law, what sensible argument can any of his supporters make for believing him the next time he promises, "If you like your guns, you can keep your guns" or "If you like your borders, you can keep your borders"?
Obama wasn't the first politician to lie. He won't be the last. But most politicians who lie don't have an army of reporters swarming around them to explain that they didn't lie, but just inflated their misspeaking. One man did not get up in front of the microphones and cameras and lie over and over again. The entire liberal establishment lied. And it's still lying.
The media's lies and excuses, even more than the original Obama lie, reveal why liberals can never be trusted.
If Obama had only lied about being on crack or with an intern, that might be an impeachable act, but an understandable human failing. But he wasn't lying to cover up something shameful that he did. He lied because he didn't think Americans deserved to keep their health plans… or the truth.
Obama lied because he is a liberal.
That Obama would lie was an inevitable as the sun rising in the morning and the taxman coming in the spring. The lie was baked into the nature of the progressive movement that he identified with and its social experiments with human lives for the greater good that he participated in.
Lying isn't incidental to a liberal. Liberal is another word for liar. Someone who believes, as Obama and his media cronies do, that Americans are too stupid and ignorant to be trusted to choose their own health care, isn't about to trust them with the truth.
Telling someone the truth shows that we respect them as people. We give them the information and then trust that they will make the right decision. Trust and respect are the key words here.
Liars don't trust and respect people. Neither do liberals.
Liberals don't believe that the people they lie to are their equals. If they did, not only wouldn't they lie to them, but they wouldn't subscribe to a skewed leftist take on liberalism that compels them to take away choices from people for their own good.
You don't take away someone's right to choose unless you think that they are inferior to you. The policies of liberalism can only be justified by assuming that the people whose lives they run into the ground are their ethical and intellectual inferiors.
If you think that the next person over can run his life just as well as you run yours, then there's no reason to take over his life and to lie to him about it. But if you think that he's probably a racist moron who worships the flag and clings to his gun and bible and can't be trusted to buy a car, raise his kids, drink a large soda and see a doctor; then you're probably a liberal.
And a liar.
That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives respect people's choices. Liberals don't. And if you don't respect someone's choices, you don't respect them.
If you think that the average person is a moron, then the only answer is to set up to some ideal republic of liberal philosopher kings who will nudge the marching morons into the death panels for their own greater good while lying to them that the death panelists are really the judges for the next hot talent competition.
If ordinary people don't deserve the basic decency of being allowed to make decisions about their own health care, then they also don't deserve the basic decency of not being lied to their faces about those decisions being taken away from them.
If Obama had trusted and respected Americans, he wouldn't have lied to them about ObamaCare. But if he had really trusted and respected them, then he wouldn't have engaged in a massive government hijacking of their health care options, mandated their participation in health plans at virtual gunpoint and then rewritten the regulations to destroy as many of their grandfathered health plans as possible.
And so if Obama had really trusted and respected Americans, he wouldn't have inflicted ObamaCare on them.
The existence of ObamaCare made it inevitable that Obama would lie about it in the same way that a burglar smashing the window of a jewelery store won't hesitate to lie to the owner about what he's doing. A man who is willing to rob a store or a nation will easily and casually lie about his crime.
Obama's crime isn't the lie. The lie is the cover-up of the crime. The crime is that Obama packaged a tax, a welfare program and a government takeover of health care together and called it reform. That was the bigger lie and there was no misspeaking involved.
The media has shown that Obama's lie was no isolated incident by lying about the lie for the same reason that he told the lie. The health plan lie wasn't the lie of one politician protecting his reputation; it was the big lie of a liberal establishment protecting its agenda.
The liberal media manipulates its readers, listeners and viewers the same way that liberal governments manipulate their citizens. And they both do it because they don't believe that the ordinary person has the right to the truth or the right to his life.
The liberal media manipulates its readers, listeners and viewers the same way that liberal governments manipulate their citizens. Unlike Clinton's lie, Obama's lie was not one man's mistake, but a movement's arrogance. And not only hasn't Obama stopped lying about his lie, but the media and the rest of his movement haven't stopped lying about his lie.
Obama's big health care lie shows why liberals can't be trusted. Any movement that believes its members are superior to ordinary people cannot be trusted to represent them or to tell them the truth.

Do pathological liars lie when there is no reason to do so?
I think that he lies because he wants to misdirect, mislead and get his agenda finished without much interference.

As an adherent to the political system which is based on lies, Obama has no choice to but to perpetuate lies. Without it, the whole system collapses. It is an axiom of a true believership, a category into which communism firmly belongs. As system advances, and you are witnessing it, expect the lies to become more unbelievable by today's standards. You will not of course be allowed to remember today's standards nor will your children be taught them in schools. You will not be allowed to dwell on old, as old is a automatically suspicious, since it may contain seeds of truth, the most dangerous one being that it was better in old times then today when everybody lives in paradise on earth. Your old medical plan was worse then the new one. It cannot be otherwise, as the whole system would collapse then. System must be preserved at any cost, and for a system which killed 100M people to-date, lie is simply not a big deal. After all liars are creating paradise on earth!

What's the point? Liberals know this. Conservatives know it. The whole point of contemporary political debate is to crush any intelligent observation by labeling it bigotry. Thus, making political debate a waste of time and energy. The U.S. will have to bottom out before things get better. For instance, this post of yours is racist and disrespects the President. What's the matter with you?
I enjoy your blog because you point out the obvious, thus setting forth in words what we all know. The better questions are... Why is it an act of bigotry to notice reality? How do you break down the wall of censorship and blacklisting that make this possible?

Mychal Massie is a respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles.
"As I wrote in a syndicated column titled, -'Nero In The White House' – 'Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood…' "

To Some Dude...Twitter works well. Pull tantalizing quotes, post them there with a link to here. Also use quotes at the bottom of all your emails with a link. I get lots of comments from emails with them, and I know the thoughtfully curious click the links, because they tell me so.
Be a conduit.

And this is why so many people believe in "conspiracy theories". A party which habitually tells the people lies "for their own good", which seeks to nudge people in a direction preferred by their betters, must conspire. The very act of the small elite gathering to quietly discuss and plan to manipulate the general populace, is the very definition of conspiracy. And those who do not wish to be manipulated, even in "their best interest", by unknown others, will try to theorize about what is going on and why. Sometimes the theorist will misread the conspiracy, sometimes he will get it right. And sometimes truth is stranger than fantasy.

The left understands the true nature of democracy under universal suffrage and control it with the lack of respect which it deserves. Conservatives do not understand this. Neo-reactionaries do. This was all described by Tocqueville in painful detail.
If there is a reaction to the last five years, it will be a pause only, like Reagan was. Universal suffrage is inexorable. Change that or you have changed nothing.
Obama was the best thing that could have happened to this country.

My grandfather told me back in the 70's that Democrats believe they think they know how you should live better than you. He said that they justify lying as a means to an end because they believe that in the end you'll be better off. He also said one way you can spot them is by their hypocrisy, that they justify exempting themselves from what they want for you.

I suspect that they lie to themselves as well. They are not only convinced that we are morons; they probably have the same disdain for reality. I can't imagine these cats investigating reality like, say, Faraday. dr

Their lies are buried deeply mirror-opposite the truth. They are easy to entertain as very similar to the truth on the surface, but they become exponentially untruth as we buy into them. If America doesn't look like the country you used to know, this is why. Unfortunately, many establishment republicans are going under too.

I find it hard to believe Obama is lying. Somehow it's even worse, and more banal than that. To us, yes, if we were doing it what he is doing, we would call it lying. To him, well, one script is as good as another. He has no intention to deceive us because he simply has no intentions toward us.

To politicians and pathological liars (virtually synonymous anymore), lies aren't "wrong," because these creatures base their statements, written or oral, on what philosophy would call the "primacy of consciousness." That is, reality is what they want it to be, not what it is. To them, the primacy of existence is a "myth," and an imposition because truth and facts get in the way of their wishes and political agenda. So, lies are necessary, and liars shouldn't be judged for lying and making careers out of lying. Obama and Pelosi and Reid are not losing sleep over any accusations against them of lying. Reality is malleable to them and if a lie doesn't work one time, they'll try another lie tomorrow. It's all the same to them. It's not a moral issue. It's an issue of pragmatism, of what works one day and not another. Charges of lying to the American public about ObamaCare mean nothing to these creatures.

The defining trait of a psychopath is lack of conscience. One is forced to look for the bigger picture when faced with realizing how many diagnosable psychopaths have banded together to successfully take control. One has to believe in a Divine plan afoot, a remedy mere mortals cannot understand. We are at war with dark principalities.

We can point out the blatant, political lies all day long, yet so many immoral imbeciles will still vote for them. Obama lying to these people is one thing, but they must lie to themselves in order to buy into the whole scam. This is beyond pathetic - it's deranged!

There is a memorable line from "Lawrence of Arabia," when the diplomat, Dryden, upbraids T.E. Lawrence for lying to the Arabs about Britain and France's plan for the Mideast once the Turks (and the Germans) have been defeated. "A man who tells lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half-lies, has forgotten where he's put it." He is accusing Lawrence of telling the Arabs half-lies, of misleading the Arabs about the victorious powers' true intentions, of believing his own lies (that is, wishing things to be true). I think anyone who voted for Obama twice, knew in their guts that he was a liar, a thief, and a fraud, but "hoped" it wasn't so, that he could actually deliver on his promises. And I think now many of them are having reality shock. Just desserts.

If Hillary Clinton runs for president it will be interesting to see how much emphasis she'll put on national healthcare, since Bill basically foisted her on the American people and she pushed and pushed for national healthcare and got b**** slapped by the American public for it. Quite the backlash as I recall. She might not want to force the issue if she runs because of that.
Me? I won't vote for Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend's wife.
Looking back...Bill Clinton's lie about his relationship with her was much more convincing than the truth. Pathological liars for sure.

Good piece Sultan but for one major assumption - where did you get the impression that conservatives respect people's choices and their individuality?
Do you too live in a bubble?
I"ve met and argued with conservatives who can't stand women's equality, free choices to live how they wish, the fact that they may (in an emergency) need an abortion, that their bodies are THEIRS, nobody else's.
There are conservative politicians in my country that do not trust their constituents' wishes on sensitive issues but decide to appropriate certain issues for their own as "conscience votes", despite them not being paid to exercise their conscience, but the will of their constitutents.
There are conservatives that do not trust individuals actions or wills if those actions and wills are not based on religious faith.
Conservatives - the increwdibly wealthy ones - are not averse to profiting from liberal lying policies if it benefits them. Mitt Romney for example, had a mini-me version of Obamacare in his state of Mass.
Conservatives have their virtues, as do (some liberals). But since so many liberals are not actually liberals but Marxists, you'll have to distinguish between the several breeds before the real comparisons can take place.
Conservatives are currently the ones on the bottom in the USA, becuase they couldn't be bothered to vote out the Obamanation from office, when all it tooik was a drive in the car and the pulling of a lever - and that notwithstanding the corruption around the voting."
There are lots of conservatives mouthing annoyance and saying "don't push us cos we'll fight back hard." Well some of them set up the Tea Parties, but not enough cared enough about or recognised the political arena as space that you need to be in to get your country back.
Stupidity, apathy and lack of pressure for Republicans to do their jobs and protect the country. Oh, and lamentations - lots of lamenting and "praying" - no good political candidates and no strategy to fight the Obamanator.
I suppose when Hillary gets in it'll be Good Moaning Conservative again and wondering where to run to instead of getting in and fixing things because we're so tired of politics" (as someone wrote to me once in a discussion about voting.)

We look to give objects a new life, a new identity: old troughs that become fountains, wine barrels that become wooden flooring and doors that become tables. Ongoing research is our key phrase:
researching objects, style, philosophy, old traditions and people who have witnessed history or have knowledge of that which shouldn't be forgotten.
truly comes in touch with the territory so as to identify the local daily life to the visitor by offering them a much deeper and intimate experience than that usually experienced by a tourist. This is the reason why we have chosen places with strong identities and buildings which best reflect this philosophy: the farmhouse called "Casale" in Val D'Orcia, the typical small town house in Salento, the "Dammuso" in Pantelleria, and apartments in cult locations such as the Piazza della Signoria in Florence. The furniture, originating mostly from the local area, also reflects this tradition. It is another part of the WP Relais atmosphere that combines comfort with a sense of tradition, in line with the WP Stores values.
