The artist
On 18 March 1571 Jean Bertels completed a small geographical work intended primarily for his own personal use: it was a little vade-mecum, an aide-memoire with a cartulary, a censer and a cadastral survey - drawn from the abbey archives. It gave him a clear overview of the abbey estates and income, of which he was the administrator. He was accustomed to supplementing it with small drawings representing different places, and with the coats of arms of those who drew profits from the estates. When he was made abbot, he added a few pages at the beginning with a view of Luxembourg, a historic view of Altmunster Abbey, destroyed in 1544 and also a series of coats of arms, completed with those of his own family.
Next, he started compiling and illustrating a similar but more comprehensive work, almost a second edition of his aide-memoire, listing details of the estates and income of Notre-Dame de Munster abbey. Among the finished drawings is to be found one of Cattenom where Jean Bertels used to enjoy staying in a presbytery belonging to his abbey.
In 1595, Jean Bertels was appointed head of the abbey of Saint-Willibrord at Echternach and he started to compile a similar aide-memoire based on a study of the archives of the abbey, which was strong in tradition. Using a structure with drawings at the head of texts about different towns and villages, he managed to describe the residents' daily life in close detail, as did many authors of geographical works of the time.
He also began compiling a vade-mecum for Echternach on a very modest scale - more or less like the initial one about Munster - the drawings for which were not finished. It gives the impression that Jean Bertels used it to prepare his texts, and then chose to use a larger format because of the drawings. If the manuscript is examined, it becomes clear that the abbot drew the sketches in the course of his inspections of the abbey estates. At Echternach he had already prepared the outline followed by the texts based on the archives. He had not managed to visit everywhere before he died in 1607, and a series of spaces inscribed with the name of the town or village, has remained blank.

Comment posted It's goodbye from Martha as Council switches off her dinnercam by newsroom.
AH… We had read this as a decision taken by senior council staff. You raise a different possibility. We will enquire and report back.

- We don't know. We searched online as soon as we knew what had happened but could find nothing.

- Minutes of today's meeting of 'Concerned Councillors' Group
We have heard from two highly credible sources this morning that Councillors Gordon Blair and Robert E MacIntyre [Bute] have now resigned from the SNP – but we cannot ourselves understand quite why these two councillors would have done so.
Both are in the 'Russell camp'.
It is inconceivable that they would have fallen out with their principal.
So, if this information is correct, what's the move about – because it will be one? - Minutes of today's meeting of 'Concerned Councillors' Group
The information is not unconfirmed. It is utterly authentic.
The venue was in Lochgilphead and yes, we admit to being more concerned with the content that the venue.
This does not mean that you are wrong – and there is indeed an additional interest in the session being held outside Kilmory. - Minutes of today's meeting of 'Concerned Councillors' Group
Duplicate salaries would not be possible within the rules.
This would be a matter of sharing the leader's salary three ways for the duration of the triumvirate. - NOW – 21.00: BBC 2′s 'Town' with Nicholas Crane visits Oban
Wasn't it fantastic – history – and with Catherine Gillies at Dunollie as mercifuly crisp as a brandy snap; the entrepreneurial spirit; the landscape; the seascapes; the island connections; the uniquely beautiful waterfront location that actually addresses its waterfront; the thrilling, mad and testosterone-packed outdoor activities born from the natural resources of a place like this; the masculine industry at Glensanda; the great food; the great music….
Now it all has to be made to be true all of the time.
There was that honest and fundamentally worrying glance at the shops for sale and to let, the shabby properties… and we all know there could have been more of this.
But this programme reminded us all of the core value to Argyll of the unique asset of Oban.
The warmth of the programme should not make us complacent that all is well with Oban – but absolutely determined to get it up to speed and keep it developing. - Minutes of today's meeting of 'Concerned Councillors' Group
The SNP group are clearly unable to progress what they had already agreed at the earlier meeting on 16th May. All of them seem to be totally unable to agree to anything. "Impotent' gets nowhere near the reality.
The paralysis bears witness to the situation we have already published – that the SNP party now requires its councillors to submit their intentions in advance for signing off [or not] by either the local MSP or an NEC member – and the SNP Constituency Association Convener.
The minutes also bear witness to what we said this morning – that they were squabbling amongst themselves and getting nowhere.
What no one could have imagined – nor would we have dared to publish it – was that we would be getting a New Way hydra as leader.
A triple headed short term leadership with three very different heads – Duncan MacIntyre, Michael Breslin and Vivien Dance.
Did someone say something the other day about popcorn and a seat in the front row?
The difference between the clued up and the clueless revealed in these minutes could not be sharper – and the frustration of the clued up is manifest.
It's dreadfully funny – but you have to feel real sympathy for Councillor Walsh. Follow him through the minutes and you get the picture.

Partitioning for web/mailserver?
In short. I'm back to OpenBSD and for my purpose i have two hard drives. One is 120 Gb and the other 80 Gb. Both are Seagate Barracuda's. And the server itself is a AMD 3000+ with 1536 Mb RAM.
I was thinking of partitioning the disks something like this: Disk 1 - 120 Gb disk =============== / (root) (1Gb) SWAP (1536 Mb) /tmp (1536 Mb) /var (remaining disk space) /usr (8 Gb) /home (5 Gb) Disk 2 - 80 Gb disk =============== /var/www (remaining disk space) SWAP (1536 Mb) So, "mail" in /var and "the webs" in /var/www. I know its a lot of space for mail which probably never will be used. But what the heck! It could of course be an idea to make /var/www on the remainder of the 120 Gb, and /var on the remainder of the 80 Gb disk. I mean it will probably be more "web" then "mail" if you get my drift. Any objections or other suggestions? Last edited by DrKrall; 19th November 2009 at 10:28 PM. |
Or how about this partition scheme?
Disk 1 - 120 Gb disk =============== / (root) (1Gb) SWAP (1536 Mb) /tmp (1536 Mb) /var/www (remaining disk space) /usr (8 Gb) /home (5 Gb) Disk 2 - 80 Gb disk =============== /var (remaining disk space) SWAP (1536 Mb) Would it be any problems of having /var on the second disk? If not, this would probably be the best choice, i think. |
If you ever want to debug a crash, allocating 1x the amount of RAM may be insufficient. The rule of thumb is 2x RAM + 1MB. More information can be found on the crash(8) manpage.
I tend to recommend a single large partition for the OS during the period where new platforms are being initially provisioned and staged, and through initial testing and burn-in. This way, a more accurate assessment of OS storage partitioning can be derived. Every OS implementation is different, and OS storage requirements can differ dramatically, depending on needs. If you are building ports, for example, you could easily consume 40GB just for port building, even with bulk package building enabled, which erases working areas as they are no longer needed.
For small servers and workstations with single drives (or single RAID arrays) the entire environment can be placed in a single partition until storage needs can be accurately assessed, then a reconfiguration can be executed, typically via backup/restore. For servers with large application-managed storage requirements, my recommendation is to keep those partitions separate from the OS. For example, for a large mail server using Sendmail, I recommend keeping /var/spool mounted separately from the OS. For a large webserver, I would recommend keeping /var/www mounted separately in the same manner. However, for webservers that serve data from a back-end DBMS, the separation might be for /var/postgresql rather than /var/www. My point here is the separation of application-managed data from the OS will be application dependent.

When Alex learned that he had been approved for a wish through The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, he knew immediately exactly what he wanted to do. Less than a year after his diagnosis and subsequent treatment for Osteochondroma, a benign bone and cartilage tumor, Alex and family were en route to France. For Alex, a huge military and history buff, his wish trip was the perfect opportunity to visit the very spots where history was made. During their week long trip Alex, his Mom Kim, Step-Dad Alan and older sister Mary toured France, visiting every war memorial and historical site from Bordeaux to Dieppe, and everywhere in between.
In addition to his extensive knowledge of both world wars, Alex is an avid bagpipe player and is a Pipe Major in his school's band. To make his wish experience complete, Alex played a bagpipe tribute at every single site they visited in honour of the countless lives lost.
For Alex's family, this Remembrance Day has extra significance. It was on November 9th, last year that the family learned that, then seventeen year old Alex had a Thoracic Spinal Cord Tumor and would require immediate surgery. He was released from hospital pending surgery the following week and piped the very next day with his school band. Despite the looming surgery, Alex was adamant about paying tribute to Canada's brave soldiers. Only six days after being diagnosed, he underwent surgery and most of the tumor was successfully removed. Although a very positive outcome, a portion of the tumor remains, putting him at great risk of developing spinal column instability that could require further spine surgery.
By honouring our nation's fallen, his wish also allowed Alex and his family to celebrate life.
As the family prepares for local Remembrance Day tributes that Alex will be participating in, his Mom, Kim, can't shake the images of Alex piping from her mind. "The time of year we travelled, most of these memorials were deserted. Every time Alex piped, it was a private, almost eerie moment where you really felt connected with the past; it was as if the past was listening."

Macfarlane Thak Collection Introduction

About THL > THL COLLECTIONS Resources > Special Collections Resources > Macfarlane Thak Collection Resources > Introduction to the Macfarlane Thak Collection

Introduction to the Macfarlane Thak Collection

The Thak Archive is a multimedia archive of ethnographic records collected from 1969 to the present by Alan Macfarlane and Sarah Harrison in the Gurung village of Thak, located in central Nepal. Census data, as well as general economic and social data collected at regular intervals over the entire 30-year period are included in the collection, along with 3000+ photographs and over one-hundred hours of film. The collection is unique in its time depth, allowing researchers to understand social change over an extended period. Each entry has been carefully cross-referenced with other elements in the collection, creating a complex, multi-level databank of information about one ethnic community in Nepal on the micro level, and about social change in contemporary Nepal on the macro level. The Archive is a dynamic project which is updated yearly with new information from Thak.

Rory McIlroy has apologized for his decision to walk off the course at last week's PGA Tour tournament, and insists he will not repeat the mistake anytime soon.
The world No. 1 left fellow professionals, fans and commentators in shock after leaving in the middle of his second round at the Honda Classic in Florida, where he was defending his title.
The Northern Irishman had two bogeys, a double bogey and a triple bogey before hitting his tee shot at the 18th into the water, having started at hole nine.
That led him to walk away citing a sore wisdom tooth, although he now admits that his actions were wrong and regrettable.
"I realized pretty quickly that it wasn't the right thing to do," McIlroy told reporters Wednesday. "No matter how bad I was playing I should have stayed out there.
"I wasn't in a good place with my golf game. My head was all over the place. It was a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes -- most of my mistakes are in the public eye.
"I'm 23. I'm still learning. I have learned from it and it won't happen again."
A year in sport is a long time and McIlroy's start to 2013 pales into insignificance compared to the form he was showing 12 months ago.
Following the signing of a 10-year deal with Nike, which is reported to be worth $250 million, McIlroy has failed to recapture the magic which secured him the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship titles.
Since changing from his Titleist clubs to the Nike brand, he has failed to shine, missing the cut at Abu Dhabi and exiting the WGC Accenture World Matchplay event in Arizona at the first-round stage.

This group was established for cyclists of all levels and disciplines (road and mountain). You'll see that we're pretty focused on road for the time being but perhaps enough interest will actually form a group to tackle some local trails! Some folks get a little confused by the title "Grind & Grub" - not terribly creative I'm afraid. "Grind" because of the bikes. "Grub" because I like to think most people work best on the reward-system. You break a sweat, burn your quads a bit and then enjoy so …

"This is a group for anyone interested in a fun, casual, cross country adventure. Of course some level of fitness is required but a flexible, adventurous attitude is more important than how fast you can ride or how you look in lycra. I started this group because I want to ride my bicycle across the country and would love to travel with others. Join me for the entire route or just part of it.

Minecraft Product Details
Released on 09-May-2012
Markus "Notch" Persson, the Swedish indie developer who became an overnight star thanks to the world-conquering Minecraft, is feeling the pressure of fame. The revelation comes in a frank and candid interview with New Yorker magazine.
It's perhaps not surprising that he's feeling anxious about following up such an enormous hit. Minecraft has sold over twenty million copies across PC, Xbox 360 and mobile, earning Notch's studio, Mojang, a hefty £152m in 2012. He's currently ranked second, just behind Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, in Time magazine's poll to find the most influential people in the world.
"I'm starting to feel writer's block as a result," Notch told New Yorker. "I'm not sure if it's pressure to repeat - actually, it is the pressure to repeat. With Minecraft it was just easier, because nobody knew who I was. Now I post a new idea and millions of people scrutinize it. There's a conflict between the joy of being able to do whatever I want and the remarkable pressure of a watching world. I don't know how to switch it off."
The Minecraft success story doesn't look like it will be ending any time soon. Xbox 360 owners who are unable to download the game will soon get the chance to join in as well, when Minecraft Xbox 360 edition comes to shops in a retail disc version. That's expected to launch in June, delayed from this month in order to include as many gameplay updates as possible.
Published: 15/04/2013
And so another year gallops to a close, thundering through the ribbon into January on a wave of good cheer and over-eating. And what a cracker of a year it's been for gaming, with all the major platforms delivering some absolutely stonking exclusives along with some truly spectacular blockbusters spread across all formats, like warm butter on the crumpet you're hopefully eating right now to ward off the December chills.
For Xbox 360 owners, it's been the year in which Master Chief finally returned to the gaming stage. Absent for five years - an eternity in games terms - his triumphant return in Halo 4 not only kickstarted the new Reclaimer Trilogy, but also introduced new developer 343 Studios to the series. 343 immediately put its stamp on Bungie's universe, crafting a game with sumptuous visuals and a distinctly personal spin on storytelling, as Chief battles not just to save the galaxy, but his AI companion Cortana, whose code is deteriorating. Add in an exhaustive suite of multiplayer modes, a full co-op campaign, and the ongoing Spartan Ops bonus missions and you've got one of the best games of the series, and of this year.
Halo wasn't the only Microsoft legend getting a makeover in 2012. Forza Horizon took the imposing racing simulation and gave it a funky mainstream twist, combining developer Turn 10's impeccable vehicle physics with an open world underground racing vibe. Everything from drift racing to hardcore rallying is covered as you roar around a virtual Colorado racing festival, looking for events and opportunities to show off your talent behind the wheel.
The wonderful land of Albion also showed off a new perspective in Fable: The Journey. This Kinect-fuelled spin-off from the superb RPG series puts you right into the action as a young boy, separated from his tribe and forced to travel across this magical land alone as dark forces gather against him. Using precision motion control, you steer your wagon, fire off spells and even look after your loyal horse. It's an unusual game, offering an experience far removed from the other Fable titles, yet it's also one of the best Kinect games. Immersive and packed with genuine challenge, it's a good sign that motion gaming doesn't have to just mean simple mini-games for little kids.
Definitely not suitable for little kids was The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Previously a well-deserved smash hit on the PC, the game crossed over to consoles exclusively for Xbox 360. This was no mere half-hearted port either. Czech developer CD Projekt went out of its way to recreate the game specifically for a console audience, adding four hours of fresh questing content, as well as new cinematics. The result was one of the best role-playing games, not just of 2012, but of all time. A thorny, challenging adventure set in a bawdy, complex world torn apart by racism, political strife and class war.
On the digital frontline, the Xbox continued to thrill. World conquering epic Minecraft came to consoles just for the 360, allowing a whole new audience to experience the genius of Mojang's communal block bashing and building. No surprise that it quickly became one of the most popular online games, challenging even the heavyweight shooters. Indie hit Fez got critics hot under the collar too with its mind-bending puzzle platforming action, and knockabout motocross romp Trials Evolution offered gamers the chance to punish their ragdoll rider in the year's biggest highs and most hilarious fails.
Xbox owners weren't left out when it came to multi-format releases either. The brilliant Borderlands 2, with its lunatic mix of co-op action and loot-swapping mayhem, is what your Xbox LIVE Friends List was invented for, while the online action of hits such as FIFA 13 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted made the most of Microsoft's ever-evolving digital community. Even the biggest game of the year had something extra special for Xbox players, as Activision announced that all the DLC maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be exclusive to Xbox 360 for a limited time.
And that's just this year. Where will Xbox be in another twelve months? Will there be a new console to save up for? How long will we have to wait for Halo 5? And what will developers do next with the controller-free Kinect? One thing's for sure, it's going to be an amazing ride finding out.

New York's prestigious Museum of Modern Art has ended decades of debate by embracing video games as an artform worthy of permanent inclusion. Fourteen titles will be installed in the Philip Johnson Galleries from March next year, with the goal of expanding the collection to forty titles over time.
Among the first games to be honoured are such classics as Pac-Man, Tetris and SimCity. More modern titles include SONY's bonkers roll-em-up Katamari Damacy, Valve's brilliant Portal and the wonderfully simple endless runner Canabalt. Nintendo's Animal Crossing and indie sensation Minecraft are among the games that will join the collection later.
"Are video games art? They sure are," reads the museum press release. "The games are selected as outstanding examples of interaction design," the statement said. "Our criteria, therefore, emphasize not only the visual quality and aesthetic experience of each game, but also the many other aspects - from the elegance of the code to the design of the player's behaviour - that pertain to interaction design."

It's the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, which means we all get an extra day off. So with the weather being predictably unpredictable, why not spend it in the company of some great games?
Here's our handy guide for some of the best games to enjoy this bank holiday weekend, with ideas for children, for friends and family, or for getting some serious single-player gaming done!
Games for the kids:
If you have a kids and a Kinect, there's really only one choice - Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure, giving the chance for the little ones to play along with all their favourite Pixar characters, like Woody and Buzz, Remy the Rat, Lightning McQueen and the Incredibles. Kids will love using the Kinect to interact with their Pixar friends, lifting, steering, flying, swimming and smashing their way through a variety of fun games that will keep them occupied for hours, and feeling like they're part of the story.
For more quirky fun with their favourite characters, it's hard to go wrong with our wide choice of LEGO games. Kids can take a trip to Hogwarts and help Harry Potter and chums defeat Voldemort, set sail with the Pirates of the Caribbean, use the Force in Star Wars, or hero-up alongside Batman or Indiana Jones. With classic adventures recreated in LEGO's trademark building blocks, and delivered with LEGO's trademark sense of humour, there's plenty for kids of all ages to enjoy - and for parents to enjoy once the children have gone to bed!
Skylanders continue to be a big hit with the kids, and you'll be a big hit with your kids if you bring Skylanders home! The age-old battle of good versus evil is brought to life not only through the video game itself, but enhanced by the collection of character toys that interact with the game. There's a whole host of cool characters to collect and who join are brought to life in the game via the Portal of Power, so the opportunities for new games and new challenges are endless!
Games for friends and family:
When's the plenty of people round, a little friendly competition always goes a long way. Where better to find out who's best than at the Olympic games? And who better to play with than Mario and Sonic? Well, as luck would have it, Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is chock full of fun contests that test a wide variety of skills, with unique ways of interacting with the action. There's everything from sprinting to table tennis, canoeing to show-jumping, as well as some imaginative twists in the 'Dream' events, like a long-jump that takes you flying from cloud to cloud. And all for a lot less than a ticket to the real Olympics!
If you - or your party - starts to get a bit more active, then there's always Just Dance 3. The latest chapter in the hugely successful dancing game series continues to challenge all to bust their best moves. This time there's an even wider variety of dancefloor-classic songs from almost every era and a range of different game modes to keep the party fresh and four-player action for the ultimate dance-off! It's compatible with Wii, PlayStation Move and Kinect, and pushes motion controls to their funky limits!
Games on your own:
Looking for a game to put some serious single-player hours into? Well, you can always journey into space with Mass Effect 3, one of the biggest and most talked-about games of the year. This sci-fi adventure is as much an in-depth role-playing experience as it is a third-person shooter, promising a journey where you choices really define the way the game is played. Thousands of people all over the world have committed almost as many hours following Commander Shepard across the Trilogy, so why not spend this weekend finding out just why?
If you prefer your role-playing a little more traditional, then the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Pandora's Tower are two fantastic offerings. Questing in fantasy worlds, battling mythical beasts, swords, sorcery and an ending based on how you play - the whole RPG experienced wrapped up in a complete package! Skyrim offers a first-person adventure and dragons, while Pandora's Tower gives you classical music and a very personal quest. Either game will take up your entire weekend!
For time consumption of a different kind, Minecraft has finally made its way to Xbox 360 thanks to Xbox LIVE. This 8-bit phenomenon has become a global cult classic, with it's simple sandbox gameplay: mine things and then build things. What sounds so simple becomes perilously addictive as your skills and ambitions become greater and greater still, and the long weekend is ideal to get settled into a time-sucking game like this!

Are you a confident writer? Are you a not-so-confident writer? Is your writing strong? Is your writing weak at times? Do you simply like to be around other writers when you are writing? Do you like to brainstorm with a peer writer about what to write? Do you need advice on how to revise your papers? Are you unsure about documentation styles? Have you committed a comma splice lately? If the answer is "yes" to any one of these questions, then visit the Writing Center!
The Writing Center at Immaculata University is focused on enhancing the writing skills of Immaculata students. Our goal is to help writers across the disciplines in all stages of the writing process, including planning, drafting, and revising. We offer a pleasant and supportive environment where writing assistants as well as both print and electronic resources are available. Our writing sessions provide students with the tools necessary to become more confident and effective writers.
Writing is a key component of the academic process. Learning to think, speak, read and write critically is the goal of most students in higher learning.

Bel Étage/Atelier
Bel Étage/Atelier Review
This grand old Heuberg mansion has been transformed into a cultural center boasting two restaurants, a trendy bar, and even medieval ruins in the basement. The formal Bel Étage showcases chef Michael Baader's masterly culinary inventions, with dishes such as anglerfish saltimbocca with sage, Parmesan gnocchi, and zucchini, or lamb with lavender honey sauce and risotto with artichokes. Sip wines by the glass, then buy the bottles you'd like to take home in the on-site wine shop. The artsy Atelier serves modern cuisine made with regional ingredients and features a mural where patrons can paint during dinner.

State leaders are considering introducing a bill that would allow high school students to enroll in community college courses for free. Community College System Chancellor Mark Heinrich says he is working with lawmakers to draft a bill on the issue as early as the 2013 legislative session. Heinrich says allowing dual enrollment in high school and community college would better prepare students for post-secondary and technical education, or to immediately enter the workforce. State leaders say they could maximize participation in community college courses by offering them for free, but acknowledge that funding such a program could be a potential hurdle.

The USPTA Adult Tennis LeagueSM:
USPTA Adult Tennis League is a rewarding program developed by USPTA to increase tennis participation and expand tennis activities at all facilities. The adult league has a unique doubles-only squad format, and the flexibility offers players competitive on-court action and off-court camaraderie.
The league is flexible enough to adapt to different seasons and areas of the country, as well as to each USPTA member's special needs and facility requirements. The format requires only two courts, which makes the league popular at both small and large facilities, even during prime tennis hours.
What distinguishes the adult tennis league format is having doubles teams of various playing levels make up a squad. That means that players with an NTRP rating of 4.5 are playing at their own level, but are part of a squad that includes teams at the 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 levels, too. The recommended adult league has one or more squads of eight teams each (two doubles teams at each of four levels). The number of games won by each team counts equally toward the squad's final scores, so 3.0 players are cheering on their 4.5 teammates and vice versa.
The teams can be:
Besides an adult doubles league, the same format could be used for:
USPTA's league format makes tennis seem more like a team sport, which increases the fun and participation level. The league also promotes tennis at an affordable price. Each player pays only a share of the squad's entry fee.
The league is open to recreational players 19 years or older. Professional players and full-time teaching professionals are not eligible. USPTA does not require membership in any organization to play in the USPTA Adult Tennis League.
USPTA tennis professionals organize the program, including the match schedule, scoring, fees and playoffs, which makes it very flexible for players and professionals. The adult league isn't a replacement of other leagues and activities; it creates additional playing opportunities that do not conflict with existing ones. USPTA Adult Tennis League has been very successful in Texas, Florida and Colorado. Ask about the programs in your area!

Welcome to the Tennis4you Forums!!!

Good day all! Hope you are well.This is for General Hercules... listen to commentator :35-42Federer - Silent AssassinRespectfully,masterclass
hi MC happy for fed^ =?freak listen the sound of the tennis shoes on had court..that is the essence of tennis
Federer 46 winners 20 unforced errors - 26 of 30 at the net.Tomic was a bit nervous serving in the first game and got broken, which was enough for Federer to take the set as he was flawless on his own serve.Second set was quite exciting and close, with Federer having break points in almost every Tomic service game but he couldn't break because mostly because Tomic served clutch when match points down, though Federer also played a couple of weak returns on a couple of second serve chances he had. Again, Federer's serving was impeccable, so it went to a tiebreak, where Tomic started well, ahead a mini-break at 4-1 and at 5-3. But Federer really stepped it up, especially defensively, and Tomic got impatient in the rallies and Federer seized his chances and came back to take the tiebreaker 7-5. That was pretty much it. Federer broke twice more in the third set as Tomic gave way and got breadsticked, 6-1. It was a cool evening (starting around 69 F. or so), and as the night wore on Federer had to go to wearing the undergarment to keep his back from stiffening up. But he got it done. Tomic is improved from last year, and played much more aggressively (even a tad reckless at times) but he is still not good enough with Federer playing well. Even if he would have snatched the second set, I think Federer would have taken the next two anyway as Tomic looked tired. Raonic up next for Federer. Federer still hasn't been broken. If he continues like this, I think he'll beat Raonic in no worse than 4 sets. Raonic has given Federer a tough battle all 3 times he has played him, but Federer has always come out on top with a lot of tiebreakers.For Raonic to win, I can't see him breaking Federer. I think he'll have to take 3 tiebreakers - possible, but a very tall order.That's how I saw it...Respectfully,masterclass

I've officially been the music critic at the Orlando Sentinel for 10 years, but the topic has been a lifelong distraction. It's one of the reasons that it took me 15 years or so to get a bachelor's degree -- that's not a joke. It's still the best job in the world, if you like staying up late.
