What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Birds is the classic 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film in which flocks of birds begin attacking the inhabitants of a small California coastal town. While certainly not the gore-fest of so many contemporary horror films, there are some disturbing scenes, including a shot of a man found dead of a bird attack with his eyes pecked out, a man killed after accidentally tossing a match onto a gasoline spill and becoming engulfed in flames, as well as bird attacks on children. However the horror and suspense derive primarily not from the blood and killing but from a slowly ratcheted tension devoid of the usual background music cues so prevalent in most horror films when a character unknowingly (and perhaps foolishly) gets killed. There is frequent cigarette smoking, and characters are often shown drinking, including a scene in a bar where a man is obviously drunk as he rants about his hatred of birds and then finishes his drink and leaves to give a ride to a panic-stricken woman and her kids. "Damn" is heard.

What's the story?
In an age when special effects just aren't so special, the matte paintings and animation that create the attack scenes in THE BIRDS are admittedly both tame and lame. Yet this classic shocker is still unnerving, laced with shots that haunt you after you've switched off the TV. Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren, a textbook example of Hitch's cool blondes) impulsively follows a bachelor, Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), up to his hometown, Bodega Bay, for a weekend jaunt. But things go quickly awry as thousands of crows, gulls, sparrows, and other birds flock over Bodega Bay and relentlessly attack, and even kill, its residents.
Is it any good?
THE BIRDS is quite talky and slow; the film runs for a good 45 minutes or so before anything the slightest bit odd happens. But once the birds get going, this is a real nail-biter. The birds attack at first with no warning, felling kids at an outdoor birthday party. Before long, they have trapped Melanie and Mitch's little sister and mother (Veronica Cartwright and Jessica Tandy, respectively) in the Brenner home, and it seems nothing can stop them from drilling and pecking their way in by the thousands. Although it sounds silly, in this movie, it's not.
Parents should know that this film is an excellent choice for families who love horror films. This might seem a bit tame for kids weaned on slasher flicks, but once they get into it, you might find them screaming for their teddy bears.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about respecting animals and their habitats. Why do the birds attack humans?
Hitchcock is considered the master of suspense, never showing violence but always implying it. Do you find movies scarier with or without on-screen gore?
How is background music often used in horror movies, especially when something is about to happen? How is this different from The Birds, in which no background music is used?

Weekend in Photos: Hudson, NY
Jonah and I spent the weekend in quaint, little Hudson, New York. It's a town in the Hudson Valley filled with tons of antique shops, great restaurants, and at this time of year, gorgeous fall leaves in every color. Just a two-hour train ride from New York City, it was the perfect weekend getaway. We had amazing meals at DABA, Swoon and Cafe Le Perche and spent all of Saturday looking in antique and vintage shops along Warren Street. We stayed at Hudson Merchant House, a bed and breakfast that was so lovely, it warrants its own attention tomorrow. Hope your weekends were equally restful!
Also, the winner of last week's giveaway is Marisa of Good Good! Congrats and thanks to everyone for entering and leaving me with all sorts of fall dessert ideas!

Well, I'll be darned. Remember that nasty dust-up with me faking free food to get a beautiful Stellar Jay to come to where I wanted it for a shot? Turns out that I actually did get three of the shots to come out. These were shots where the flash fired so they were obviously test shots. It sure made their wings look like blue fire, didn't it? LOL!
Thank you! I'm of a mixed mind that I actually got any shots at all because this and the other one coming soon aren't as authentic as they should be, with the flash making the bird "glow-in-the-dark" blue. But all the planned shots were ruined by my rush to get them and get away from the furious bird I teased: ISO all over the place, blurry, crummy composition, etc. I rarely put test shots like this on in here but I love these birds too much to pass on a little amateurish photography. ;-) I do need test shots tho for comparisons when using the computer to compensate for my colourblindness.
Funny but these birds get more human attention than the wild scrub jays I interact with but they are NOWHERE near as friendly or personable. In Big Sur, it was the crows who would land in a seat next to you and quietly wait to see if you'd give them anything or leave something dropped. LOL!
what an incredible bird! they're so gorgeous a blue they just glow………bad u for the setup? good u for THINKING to do it! lol
LOLOLOL! I'll learn how to set things up as well as you sooner or later but, until then, you'll be noticing that I set up mostly by luck. :-D
oh yeah…i'm the queen of set up……….i just flop into the mud with camera in hand and pray i almost got it…lol trust me? i think you're set up would be MUCH more handy! (and less painful!)
You can cut that stuff, silly woman! I've seen the extensive prep's results with a ton of images from professional sittings so you can't fool me! :-D
However, the visual of you all flopped down in the mud makes me have a suddenly urge to be in a Half Nelson right there with you… Long Live WWF (or something like that if they do it in mud)!!!

You can find speckled trout both in the spring and in the fall in the Honga River area. As with any fishing, water temperature truly dictates when fish arrive and leave certain areas. In general, in the Spring April marks the arrival of specks in the river with water temperatures rising through the mid 50s into the 60s; this usually puts the peak of the run in the Honga around Memorial Day with good fishing continuing as the water temperatures rise into the mid 60s and lower 70s. During this time of year the specks range in the 2-5lbs range. As summer approaches and the water on the shallows begin to warm in the high 70s and into the 80s speckled trout move into the deeper river channels and deeper parts of the bay where they seek cooler water. This is not to say you can not target specks in the summer, but if you look for them in the deeper water you need heavy sinking lines, a lot of patience and the willingness to go home with a skunk. This is not to say that if we get a cool few nights in the summer that you will not find them on the flats in the summer, you can, but it takes some cooler weather.
As summer fades and we move into September and October we move into prime time time speckled trout fly fishing. As the specks move into the shallower water they begin to school and feed on the flats, ideal conditions for the fly angler. This is my favorite time of year, cool mornings, and sunny days that warm up the flats and a hot bite in the evenings. Capt. Mike Murphy of Tiderunner Fishing Charters is the local expert in this area of the bay and guides fly anglers in and around the Honga River; he literally grew up fishing the area. When I asked him what four week period he would call the best in the fall he replied, If I was going to pick the very best time for shallow water fly fishing for specks it is from mid September to mid October. If you do not want to take it from me, take it from the local expert fishing guide as the best time to give it a try.
As falls slips into November this area of the bay generally sees colder nights and water temperatures dipping in to the 50 degree mark. Once you see water temperatures in the 50s its time to start really picking your days as the specks will begin to move south to warmer waters. Once you see a constant low 50s its about over and time to either head south or wait for their arrival in the Spring.
Where to Launch
If you are located on the western shore the best most direct place I would suggest to launch is out of Solomon's Island and run across the bay to fish this area. There are several marinas and boat ramps in the area, but the one most used and in good condition is the public ramp located at the base of the Thomas Johnson Bridge. The facility has restrooms, is open 24 hrs a day and has room for four (4) boats to launch. It does require a county ramp permit so be sure to check on getting one before you go. You can reach the facility by calling 301-855-1243 ext 2225.
If you located on the eastern shore like I am, you have a few options. First, you can launch from your home port and run to down the bay to the Hoopers/Honga River area. I am located in Easton out of the Choptank and while not that bad of a run I most always opt for the second option which is: Second, tow your rig and launch out of southern most point on Hoopers Island at the public boat ramp located on Rippons Harbor. Getting there is not too difficult, you follow signs to Blackwater Refuge off of rt. 50 in Cambridge to rt. 335 and take it all the way to the end. The ramp has a bathroom, a large pavilion and is in good condition. The ramp is a one boat ramp set up, but unless the locals leaked that the fishing has been hot which is not likely, you will generally only have to deal with another boat or two.
Areas to Look for Fish
I would be doing you a disservice to give away exact locations, as searching and finding specks is half the fun chasing them with the long rod. But fishing this area is as much intuitive as any other sort of shallow water fishing. What you are looking for is water temperatures in the 60s, water depths from 3-15 feet, and current. Capt. Mike Murphy suggests that if you find a hard running current in the tide cycle, count on speckled trout sticking towards the bottom, so keep your fly in that zone. As the current eases specks will move through out the water column so make sure to search all the zones. The Honga River area has shoreline that has so many points and rips that it would be hard to miss and honestly while a few places in my experience seem to hold fish a lot of the time, there is no one spot that is my go to spot. Capt. Pete of Four Seasons Guide Service fishes the Honga extensively in the Fall and says the key to his success is to keep moving. If you fish a point with a rip and do not catch a speck in ten or fifteens minutes, move. These fish are on the move chasing bait and you only have so long through out the tide cycle to catch them. Do not get discouraged if you do not find them right away. Fish an area with one fly through out the water column using a fanning casting scan of the area; if you do not get anything, change flies and make your fanning pan again. If you do not get a bite, do not waste time, move to the next spot. Once you do find them during the fall you will usually find a decent school and great long rod action. You will find some shoreline in and around the Honga with thick grass flats and some areas with stumps. These area all great areas. When it comes to grass flats look for areas have patchy sections. These areas are a little bit more friendly to your fly and also are channels where the specks swim.
Equipment and Flies
You do not need anything fancy to chase specked trout. My go to rig is a 8wt Sage XP rigged with a Rio 250 Striper Line with 3-5ft of Ande 20lb Fluorocarbon tied directly to my fly with a palomar knot. Rods: A 6, 7, or 8wt. rod will work fine. A six weight is a little on the smaller side, but fly rod manufacturers have in no way standardized rods so use whatever 6, 7 or 8wt rod that you feel conformable casting. The longer the cast the more water you can cover and you know what they say, you can not catch fish with your fly out of the water. Line: I prefer a sinking line. It casts well and gets your fly down in the water column. Some people look at me strange when I say I fish a sinking line in shallow water, but my theory is that a sinking line allows me to fish the whole water column and I can control which depth I fish by the speed of my retrieve. My go to line is a Rio Striper 250 line. It casts well, the running line is hardy and withstands some abuse and as importantly to me does not tangle like some other lines on the market. Any 150 to 250 sinking line will do the trick.
Flies: I fish a pattern I call my Blanco fly. It is a clouser style fly on a 2/0 hook with all while bucktail, silver flash that extends out at least a half inch from the bucktail topped with baitfish or chartreuse angel hair. The clouser style really is the best when fishing the Honga area because it rides hook up eliminating fouling that can happen with the grass and stump filled flats. Other hot colors are all chartreuse, white and pink. If you are going to fish a combination colored fly be sure to have the darker color up top.
Hot Tips from the Pros
Capt Mike Murphy of Tide Runner Guide Service suggests one of his hottest go to flies is Joe Bruces Crab Colored Clouser. You can find this fly from Joe who works at Tochermans Tackle in Baltimore on Friday and Saturdays. Capt. Mike also says specks are very sensitive to steep temperature drops or rises, so if we get a snap like this, give it a few days to stabilize before expecting very good speck fishing.
Capt. Pete Daulberg of Four Seasons Guide Service says one of the keys to his success fishing the Honga is to keep moving until you find the them. His favorite flies are all chartreuse and all white.
Capt. Kevin Josenhans fishes a little further down the bay in and around the Tangier area, but is well regarded as an expert speckled trout fly guide and says he likes an all white clouser style fly with rainbow flash; he says this pattern is almost irresistible when you strip one of these near a speck.
Fishing in and around the Honga for speckled trout in the spring and fall is a great adventure for some fly fishing fun. Not only will you catch one of the coolest shallow water fish we have in the bay, but you will also experience some of the most beautiful scenery in the Chesapeake area. Pack your gear and give it a try!

In her determined pursuit of the truth, Dana never anticipated the cat and mouse chase that leads her through half a dozen countries in search of a remorseless killer. As she closes in on her suspect, the shocking secrets she uncovers place Dana and her young son in dire jeopardy. Can Dana outwit her pursuers and expose the truth that will astound the world?
A dynamite thriller filled with all the elements that have made his previous works phenomenal best sellers, The Sky is Falling is Sidney Sheldon at his sizzling best.
©2000 The Sidney Sheldon Family Limited Partnership; (P)2000, 2003 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.
"Efficiently brisk and reliably suspenseful, Sheldon's 17th novel demonstrates that this veteran master of commercial fiction has not lost his touch." (Publishers Weekly)
"Predictable and boring"
I was looking forward to this latest Sydney Sheldon but I found the story line quite boring and the writing was unbelievable. It was almost as if he was trying to use a few words as possible as scenes jumped at light speed from one setting to the next.
"Great narration. Great story."
This audio book was very enjoyable. Sydney Sheldon never disappoints.
The narrator read at a great pace. She kept the listener interested.
Follow me on Goodreads too!
Thanks to my lousy memory and my desire to save a few bucks, I decided to go back into my Audible archives and re-read books that I forgot all about... but there is a flaw in my plan. I think perhaps I forgot about this book (read about 9 years ago) because it's not good!! I rated it 2 stars at the time and I think that was pretty generous.
A TV anchor gets suspicious after a 5 people from the same family are murdered and she decided to investigate. OK, good idea... but man oh man the execution is simplistic!
I remember reading Sydney Sheldon in the 80s, books like "Master of the Game" "Rage of Angels" "Windmills of the Gods" and being enthralled.... but was I glued to those stories because I was a teenager and did not know better or is his early stuff just superior??? This book does not feel like it was written by a 'giant' in the pop-literary world; the plot twists are banal, it feels amateurish and it's beyond believable. This story is SO EASY to pick apart! It's is full of questionable human judgement and by that I don't mean that the characters make bad decisions, I mean that on multiple occasions I thought to myself "real people don't act that way". The book is low on the plausibility scale.
For example: Dana goes to Aspen to investigate a fire, her cover story is: "I'm writing an article about ski resort fires". I laughed out loud. Suuuuuure, ok, great cover, totally believable (not!). She discovers that the fire was electrical, and that an electrician had just been to the house the day before, and then the day after the fire the electrician disappeared!!! Wait, the police didn't connect the dots? Thank goodness for our intrepid TV anchor! Another example is when she discovers that a witness to an accident was blind. Please - The world is not THIS full of bumbling police.
Also, the secondary story line where Dana's fiancé takes off to Florida to nurse his ex through her struggle with cancer is preposterous.
I think I know what attracted me to the book in 2006; I like reading books set in foreign cities I have visited and this one promised to cover Paris, Moscow and Brussels to name a few - but her globetrotting was absurd. Flying all the way around the world just to ask a guy a question? Please.
To enjoy the story, don't bother with logic or common sense ... just go for the ride.

L.D. 50 – Mudvayne
For the past month or so I've been wedged into a boiling pit of work (the deadline approaches) and work (the house sale approaches). After a few weeks of this stuff I started to feel like I was caught in an extended scene from Koyaanisqatsi.
Yessiree, life is just a little out of balance. What's worse is that I've started to hear music in my head…that I haven't listened to in months if not years. One unwelcome bit was Philip Glass' Einstein On The Beach. While I really do like that particular chunk of music, I don't want my brain dredging up pieces of it.
So this morning I thought it'd be fun to chase away the mental music demons. Mudvayne's stuff is aggressive, chaotic and full of adrenaline-producing twists and turns. It's fun in a music-as-rollercoaster kind of way. What's he saying/singing/screaming/belching? Don't know. Don't care.

Should Social Security Be Means Tested?
The provision of social security benefits to retirees distorts the saving decisions of workers who are rational enough to save for their future. Since the implicit rate of return in an unfunded social security program is less than the marginal product of capital, the resulting decline in saving causes a welfare loss. It has been suggested that this welfare loss could be reduced, while still protecting those who lack the foresight to save for their retirement (the"myopes" and "partial myopes" of the paper), by replacing the current universal social security program with a means-tested program that pays benefits only to the "myopic" individuals who have little or no other retirement income or assets.The present paper evaluates this suggestion with the help of an explicit steady-state welfare comparison of the optimal universal and optimal means-tested programs. The relative welfare levels depend on characteristics of the economy (the growth rates of population and real wages and the productivity of capital) and of the population (the frequency and degree of myopia with respect to saving for retirement).The analysis shows that, although a means tested program is generally superior, it does not always dominate the best alternative universal program.A universal program can be preferable under conditions which imply that the optimal means-tested program would induce rational savers to stop saving. The analysis also implies that overall welfare can be increased by using different social security programs for different groups of workers if the working population as a whole can be divided into two or more subgroups with different mixes of myopes, partial myopes and rational life-cycle savers.

Show and Tell Monday
Then, I had a few minutes this weekend to run to a town flea market with my son Josh. We were really looking for a bike for him. Our local ABC chapter has lots of bikes for sale and all of the proceeds support the ABC program. He got a great bike and I was lucky enough to be able to look around myself and find a few treasures. I could not pass up this lovely collection of vintage hankies and butter pat (although the woman selling it called it a ring dish). She presented it all together in a box and I had to have it (great marketing!!!). I found a cute little floral dish and a teapot caddy as well. That would have been great last Friday!! ( These items are listed on my site today). I also picked up two fantastic tables to paint and a mirror. I'll show and tell those when they are done. Thanks for visiting ...

Jay, I couldn´t dilike Connors at all, and he was my favourite player for many years, even if, at the beginning I felt like you, mixed feelings.But , as I posted, many times, I do suscribe your words and I also think he is one of the most exciting, instinnct players ever and a guy his joy and passion for tennis was just contagious.He was a jerk yeah, but there were many big charachters in his time and he had to be. If I criticize him here and there, it has nothing to see with disliking him.You know, you are more demanding with the people you appreciate most, and I certainly appreciated Connors so much.
I'm the same. He was my favorite player ever, but I'm not blind to his personality flaws. I should read SHORT CIRCUIT again. Only read it the once, right after it came out. First real expose of the tour that I ever read.
It's a real pleasure exchanging views with you Kiki! I thought I knew a lot about tennis...... My original thread on here was Douglas Henderson jnr's kindle book 'Endeavour to perservere'. It is THE book for Jimmy Connors fans! Totally outstanding!! Also I just found out you don't need an actual 'Kindle' device to download Kindle books. You can downloand a free Kindle app to your pc or ipod/iphone and then download your chosen books.

in no particular order: as it was - gardnar mulloy unflappable life and times of whitney reed double fault - roscoe tanner levels of the game - mcphee biography - nastase as tom goes by - tom brown
Love the Tanner´s title " Double Fault".He could also have named his book something like " The perfect approach" ( to women millionaires)
Roscoe Tanner's book "Double Fault" is good. I'm also going to read Pancho Segura's book soon, titled "Little Pancho". Looking forward to Jimmy Connors' book as well. With Roscoe's career, it's interesting, because he clearly had a very good career and beat all the top players at some point, yet you can't help but feel that Roscoe underachieved a bit by not winning Wimbledon or the US Open.
Does he tell in the book when he defended his " close friend" John mc Enroe from the attacks of his " ex girlfriend" Chris Evert?
I think so, too.an AO title seems a bit short to me.One of the hottest rivalrieson court, with a lot of body language was Tanner vs Connors.Not many people may have noticied it, but it was real hot.
This book is soooo good. The era is well before my time but I still found it immensely entertaining. The randy session in the hotel window is something you will never read in another tennis book! Gotta love the old school Aussies!
I read some of that book through google books. Had no idea that Henderson and Arthur Ashe had been so close. I accidentally posted this in the Djokovic Connors thread. Don't know how but I did. While I don't recall the defending Mcenroe incident, I recall a TENNIS magazine article, circa 1983/84, where Connors and Mcenroe were discussing the type of language Chris Evert sometimes used, contrary to her image. I don't recall Connors and Tanner overall having a bad relationship there were some heated moments in a couple matches. 1980 Wimbledon and the 1982 Masters. IIRC, Tanner thought Connors was mocking him. Probably gamesmanship on Connors end. Peter Bodo. I'm in the middle of reading it now, on a kindle.
Well, Tanner and Connors had history that went way back. They'd known each other since 1962 or so, when Tanner practiced with Connors and saw Connors obeying his mother's coaching orders at every opportunity. In the early 1970s, they once trained together with Pancho Gonzales in Las Vegas, and neither of them knew the time because of the lack of clocks, and Gonzales would keep telling them to make sure they were ready for their match tomorrow morning. Gonzales was obviously warning them to always make sure of where they were and what they do the night before a match. Tanner used to beat Connors in the juniors more often than not, but Connors usually won when they were professionals. Still, Tanner had a few good wins over Connors even in the pros, especially their 1976 Wimbledon quarter final.
In 1981,at the Wimbledon´s Champions Dance it started it all Tanner and Connors rivalry traces back from their junior days at college.Connors played for UCLA, Í don´t remember which college Tanner played for.
Tanner vs Connors, provided the most exciting, bombastic fireworks of any 1970´s rivalry, which extended to the early 80´s.Just memorable battles between the hardest S&V and the sharpest return of serve.
tanner. didn't know / care too much about him before reading the book. bud collins would always refer to his lookout mountain, tennessee upbringing. i thought he was a hillbilly ... couldn't have been more wrong. his dad was wealthy chattanooga atty. he went to prep school. his tennis team also had brian gottfried on it. (even though wiki's tanner page says sandy mayer, erroneously). then stanford. silver spoon the whole way. his candid, at this point what's left to hide, story of his descent into financial scumbaggery is an interesting read ... thanks for the above recommendations on other books. look forward to reading them. always thought a book thread like this should have its own talk tennis category...
I've not seen anyone mention Joel Drucker's book about Jimmy Connors. 'Jimmy Connors Saved My Life' Has anyone else read it? I'm reading it for the 2nd time at the moment. If so what are your views on it? I so wish I had'nt been a young kid from 74 to 84 and been old enough to really appreciate this Golden period of tennis, i've tried to make up for it as much as i'm able too, with attaining old dvd's matches and reading as many books as I can on this era.
This was my original thread on best tennis book ever... Not only with his relationships with Connors & Ashe but what an incredible role model for all young men not only young black men, totally inspiring on so many levels! If you like well written, well thought out and the best insight into life on the tour, then do yourself a huge favour and download this Kindle book (you can't buy a hard copy), Dont forget you can download a free kindle book app to your pc, i phone or i pad and then just buy the Kindle book as normal. I've read over 50 tennis books and this one by Douglas Henderson jnr is number 1!
I just read Open by Agassi. What a raging narcissist. There is no mention of his opponents. He never mentions his doubles partners or friends on the tour. His friends are on his payroll, Gil, Perry, Brad, etc. Yet no mention of the fact that all the people he "loves" are taking a paycheck from him. And he trashes most of his former associatesa, like Shields and Bolletieri. Another interesting fact, most of the cash supporting his years of losses must have come from Nike. It wasn't being covered by prize money. The entourage stuck around because he could make more money in one photo shoot than most players made in a career.
I read it, enjoyed it. Honestly, more about Drucker's life than I was looking for because I bought it for Connors. But I think that was what he was going for in the book. A parallel between his life and Connors' so as to display the impact that Connors' attitudes and persona had on his life. He started out as a Connors hater and gew into a Connors fanatic. Ironic that Connors own book is coming out this year. Drucker's book details how hard he tried to get Connors to tell such a book with him. Drucker did not write a love letter to Connors either. His book is filled with criticism of Connors and some of his behavior. Seemed to me that Drucker found Connors treatment of Segura particularly shameful. I tried to contact Drucker, through one of the columns he wrote, to ask some questions. Wanted to ask him if he interviewed Segura specifically for that book. Also wanted to discuss how he saw Connors' game. The book keeps coming back to the term counterpuncher, and I don't see prime Connors as a counterpuncher although the return was his biggest strength. In my mind, prime Connors is not a reactive player. He is not waiting for you to miss or looking to counter your aggression. He is going for the lines and the corners. He is dictating the play. What is the story with the 81 Wimbledon Dance? Never heard the story. Tanner went to Stanford with Sandy Mayer, I believe. Nothing I've ever read about Connors really delved into his college tennis career. I mean specific matches or rivalries. He spent a year at UCLA. Don't recall reading anything about collerge matches versus Tanner. The guy who owned him in the juniors was Dick Stockon. An elite junior player, but Connors turned the tables in the pros. I saw multiple Connors/Tanner matches that were played in good spirit. I never thought of that rivalry as being nearly as heated as Connors/Mcenroe. No doubt, though, on a good day Tanner could beat anyone.
Tanner and Connors played plenty of times against each other in the 1960s when they were youngsters. There's a picture in Tanner's book of them after Tanner beat Connors in one final, and the caption said that Connors never looked so happy after losing a match (Connors had a big smile).
Haven't read Tanner's book and certainly not disputing that Connors and Tanner played each other in the juniors or college. Just not something 've ever read described as some big rivalry. Connors wasn't a junior phenom, though.
As great as a player AA was, I think he is, from a personality POV, one of the least interesting champions ever.Not much inside...
Connors,Tanner,Gottfried,Solomon,Dibbs,Stockton , one of the best ever US generation.Tanner and Connors were hot on each other in many matches, like at the 1979 and 1981 Masters (Connors won barely in 79 and lost in 3 tie breakers in 81) and also at the 1975 and 1980 Wimbledon.They played also the USO sf in 74 and the W QF in 76, when Tanner just put Connors down.They played a big match at Palm Springs in 1979 and another one at Las Vegas that same year ( they also played a 4 setter at Phily).many hard hitting matches, and lots of body language.I am not saying it was as obvious as Connors vs mac, just that something was burning inside both players when they played each other.maybe it was like a duel between the best serve and the best return, but it was there. I´ll explain the 1981 story in another post.I did it before, I just don´t remember anymore in which thread.
I wouldn't describe it as a big rivalry back in the 1960s as neither were teen phenomenons, and in fact, Tanner usually beat Connors in the juniors. There was never any hate between them that I know of, just feisty encounters when they did meet as both were determined to win. What it does show is that Connors and Tanner had a long history going back to 1962 or so when they first practiced together, and this becomes relevant when one considers how big they later made it as professional tennis players, especially Connors.
Was there a lot in the book about Tanner's feelings for Connors? If so, what were they? Although Tanner didn't tun out to be any moral pillar.
...whatever can be said about who was the best player of the 70´s, nobody had such a gorgeous wife as Connors had (Patty Mc Guire).I´d say she was the nicest looking face on a tennis court since Hingis and Kournikova made the tour in the second half of the 90´s...
story has it that, in the 1981 Champions dance, Chris Evert took a microphone and said ( of absent John Mc Enroe, who left London after a big journalists quarrel) " I´d like to talk on John´s name, but I am afraid I can´t since I don´t use his vocabulary". next day, some journalists repported that to Connors, and in typical Jimmy´s mood, he repplies: " I have been on court with Chris enough times to know that she can match vocabularies with John anytime "...Connors defending his worst toe from the attacks of his ex grilfriend¡¡¡¡. As I said, being an Evert ex, possibly changes your perception of the world¡¡¡
Tanner talks about how Connors always did what his mother and grandmother (one mom and two mom) told him to on the court and how feisty a competitor Connors was even back then. There's the bits about how Tanner usually beat Connors in the juniors, but Connors tended to have Tanner's number in the professional game. Tanner also talks about how Connors was determined to do things his way in the early and mid 1970s and how aloof he was from the other players. In those days, the Aussies, the Americans and some of the Brits would hang out with each other, while the Spaniards and Latin Americans did likewise, as did the mainland Europeans. Connors, though, didn't even stay in the same hotel as the rest of the players. Tanner goes into detail about 1975 Wimbledon. The semi final line-up was Connors vs. Tanner and Ashe vs. Roche. Ashe was trying to tell Tanner what tactics you need to use to beat Connors, i.e. giving Connors soft balls, angled volleys, making him run and generate his own pace. It's interesting that Ashe was giving Tanner advice on how to beat Connors when Tanner had just beaten Connors a few weeks earlier in Nottingham, and Connors' only other loss that year had been in the Australian Open final against Newcombe. Incidentally, after Tanner beat Connors in the quarter finals of Nottingham, it was Roche who beat Tanner in the semi finals. When Tanner's Wimbledon semi final match with Connors came about, he tried to incorporate some of the strategy that Ashe had been telling him to use, but Tanner said his angled volleys weren't good enough, and Connors tracked down everything and rode a wave of momentum. Tanner went back to his original gameplan in the third set, but it was no good as Connors crushed him. Tanner then talks about how he watched Ashe play out his gameplan to near perfection in the final against Connors, and how he couldn't believe what he was seeing, but said that he was so happy for Ashe it was almost like he himself had won Wimbledon.
and who didn´t roote for Arthur in that final? BTW, Roscos and Arthur were longtime doubels partners, after Ashe split with Riessen.Tanner had played before with Charlie Pasarell, himself, Ashe´s best friend in tennis...so, it´s like a big family over there.All of them southeners, BTW
Interesting. What I've read previously made it seem like this was a strategy Ashe's camp came up with after the Connors Tanner semi. I've also read Ashe started thinking of it after seeing Connors play Ramirez in the quarters. Ashe wrote an article, a week after the match, in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED detailing what he did and how he did it. That article read like he came to the realization after the semis. It was him, Donald Dell, Dennis Ralston and Pasarell, I think. That article talks about the Tanner upset in that warmup tourney. Ashe said they used different balls and commented that the balls were sometimes as important as the surface. In any case, from what you wrote, the Tanner book makes it seem like this was in Ashe's head earlier if he was advising Tanner about it.
Thanks For The Kind Words... Hi Jay1, I stumbled onto your post and very much appreciate it. My book, "Endeavor To Persevere," was a labor of love, written with the mindset that I was a witness to a remarkable history. In being a recorder of that history, I felt it my ultimate duty - as the eyes and ears of those reading the book - to be meticulous about my facts and the events that I wrote about. Beginning in 1974, I would write during and after each Open. I always knew these writings would be a memorialized in the book that you praised so highly. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to know those words brought pleasure to a reader. Stay well, Douglas Henderson Jr.
Hi Douglas, Great to hear from you, i'm very suprised but really pleased you read my posting. Are you still around tennis much these days? I live, eat and sleep tennis everyday. I'm fortunate enough that tennis is also my career as well as my passion. I run my own tennis club in London. It would be great to talk more with you? I'm sure we can exchange a few stories about tennis. I would love to tell you about my latest tennis project, it would certainly take you back to the 70s & 80s? My email is firstname.lastname@example.com It would be great to hear from you. Best wishes-Jay
Hi Jay, Don't have a lot of spare times these days, but will keep in touch. Your comments on many subjects are insightful an on-point - as are many of the other comments I've read in this forum. It reminds me of when I first became smitten by tennis. So, to use a cliche, I feel you. However, golf has moved to the top rung of the ladder in terms of my passion. I love Rafa, am glad Federer won Wimbledon (after Rafa was upset) not a Djoker fan, wish that Serena had consistently taken her tennis seriously and am depressed that the USTA has ruined American tennis. I think that golf is the perfect metaphor for life life. After all, we must play the ball where it lies. Stay well, Doug P.S. I've copied your email address down and will write soon. You can befriend me on Facebook to see some tennis pictures that you are sure to like. D.H.
If you want to know what daily life on tour throughout a season is like this book gets you close. Yes she can be annoying and says things she shouldn't say but the book made me respect her. To balance a personal life, competing with friends and enemies, making sponsors happy, and dealing with the fact that more than likely you are going to lose every week at some point makes her very tough but very human.
Winning Ugly is terrific for instruction and tips, as someone else mentioned. But Gilbert also talks about his opponents and uses them as examples which makes it more interesting than a drier instructional tome. It's a pretty good insight into what it was like to face the big boys of era, particularly Lendl and McEnroe. Agassi's book is beautifully written. It's a pity there aren't more that we can say that about.
Jay1 Hey Jay1, I hope all is well with you. Writing a major piece on Ashe's 40th anniversary Wimbledon triumph. Hope you enjoy it. Stay well, Doug Henderson
FYI, the poster "jay1" appears to have vacated this board some time ago following one of his charming posts pontificating on, among other topics, if I recall accurately US activities in Guantanamo Bay as well as gun ownership in the US.

Wth? Next time your husband is sleeping wake him up at like 3 or 4 am and he will say "why what's up why are you bothering me?" You tell him "because it's not good for you mentally to peacefully dream away!!!!" Lmbo! He's mean. So is Leo when we are in bed trying to sleep... when Rosco is asleep and making a lot of noise Leo tells him to be quiet, poor baby Rosco. I never wake him up. I like to stare at him and when he does wake up he's like oh hey! You scared me but it's ok I love you!

I only wake mine if its about to wake the kids lol .. or if it sounds really bad as said earlier.. One time Breezy scared the crap out of me, I was doing laundry and heard her start to yelp and moan then bark, it was horrible. I was down stairs so it also sounded like pounding on the floor above me, I came flying up the stairs (of course home alone) to find her sleeping... I startled her when I came charging into the room lol and she stopped, looked up at me with that sleepy face and wagged her bottom!!! lmao.

I let my girls dream. They sometimes wake themselves up with barking. Which they usually look at us like we did it.

I am going for an endoscopy of my throat. I know I have something bad - possibly something that leads to cancer. I am really afraid. I now feel depressed. I feel strongly that they will find something because I have had this problem for years. What can I do to stop feeling so bad and hopeless all the time?

A national survey of more than 12,000 students in grades 5 to 10 has found that television viewing is associated not only with unhealthy snacking while watching, but also with unhealthy eating at all times.
Researchers asked the children how much TV they watched; how often they snacked while watching; how often they ate fruits, vegetables and candy and drank soda; and how often they skipped breakfast.
The survey uncovered a variety of differences by sex, age and race - for example, girls watched slightly less than boys, older children ate fast food more often, and white children were more likely to eat fruits and vegetables daily.
But over all, after controlling for other factors, viewing time among the children was associated with lower odds of eating fruits and vegetables daily and higher odds of skipping breakfast, consuming candy and sugar-sweetened soda, and eating in fast-food restaurants.
Adjusting for snacking while watching TV did not change the associations, leading the researchers to suggest that broadcast advertising influences eating choices even when children are away from the television.
''There is something parents can do,'' said Dr. Ronald J. Iannotti, an author of the study. ''Limit TV time, and make sure healthy snacks, particularly fruits, are available.'' The study appeared in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

This will sound like heresy to Canadian investors, but the outlook for U.S. banks is significantly brighter than for the domestic Big Five.
The bullish case for U.S. banks is founded on the credit cycle. In simple terms, bank earnings expand with loan growth because lenders make a profit on every client loan payment.

When Melanie Saxton first met the wiggling ball of blond fur, she knew that her heart would melt. Though her daughter was delighted, her husband, being a cat person, was unimpressed with the puppy's plight or her hopeful face.
The little Labrador Retriever puppy was found by a neighbor who walked around the area trying to locate an owner. Knowing that the neighbor could not take in another pet, the pup was on its way to the pound. Saxton could not let that happen because there was something special about the dog. Saxton sent her daughter in to work her magic on her father.
Making a crayon "checklist" of puppy chores, she explained her new responsibilities to her Dad. She announced that she would be the official "pooper scooper", would brush, walk, feed and water the puppy and had already named the little bundle Sandradorable, the Labradorable. He was won over and "Sandy" joined the family.
By the time Sandy was six-months old, she showed an unsurpassed devotion to Saxton's daughter. When a little playmate came over to play one day, Sandy showed just how devoted she was. As the two little girls headed outside to play on the swing set, the dog went nuts. Peeping outside, Saxton witnessed Sandy putting herself between the two girls, not allowing them near the teeter-totter. Sandy lunged at the girls and herded them away from the play equipment.
After the girls were safe inside, Saxton went to investigate the play set. Bending down to investigate, Sandy continued to push against her and bark. Suddenly, out of the teeter-totter tube came three red hornets. Going for her face, others followed, stinging her repeatedly. Sandy lunged for the winged-beasts as Saxton ran into the house.
Hearing Sandy howling outside, Saxton knew she had to help her puppy. Armed with wasp spray and wrapped in a blanket, Saxton ran outside in a cloud of repellent. She continued to spray all around and even sprayed Sandy. Picking up the 70-pound dog, Saxton ran back into the house.
Saxton contacted her vet. She gave Sandy some Benadryl and put ice on her welts. The brave hero had endured over two dozen stings but was puzzled by all of the attention. Sandy was just doing her job. After licking her coat, she gave herself a good shake and grabbed her rope toy, silently asking someone to play tug-of-war with her. She was just fine. Saxton believes that angels have wings, but that her angel also has golden fur and doggy breath.

Tacitus provides us in his analysis of Agricola's role as governor in Britain with a template for how he, Tacitus, thought that Rome should carry out its government. He was keenly aware of the vulnerability of Rome's position: like most empires up to our own day, the Romans maintained very few soldiers in the countries they occupied when compared to the vast multitudes that those soldiers held in check (Mattingley ed Agricola para 15). Hence empire always was in part a confidence trick, an imposition upon the 'native' population that they beleived was both in their own interest and also not in their interest to overthrow. Tacitus gives us some examples of how Romans before Agricola subued the Britons, using Cogidubnus (Mattingley ed Agricola para 14) a local King to maintain discipline or with military victories either by Caesar, Claudius or later commanders. But Tacitus leaves us in no doubt that a subtler analysis is needed of the ways that peace could be maintained- for him no less than for us the Roman empire was a vast problematic. Indeed his purpose went further for having discovered, thanks to the reigns of Galba and Vitellius, the enormous power of the Roman army, it was also the historian's purpose to detect how the Roman army retained discipline. Rome rode two tigers- the army and the province- and Tacitus's story in Agricola is a story about how one governor at one point in time managed to subdue both.
Tacitus defines what Agricola offered to the Britons in terms that we have already seen. An enfeebled populace was less likely to resist the imposition of Roman power- taught to be slaves, the Britons like the Gauls or even the Italians before them might learn to enjoy and yearn for the imperial yoke. Tacitus understood this: he tells us that in the winter months Agricola took time to plan amenities as he 'had to deal with a people living in isolation and ignorance and therefore prone to fight. His object was to accustom them to a life of peace' (Mattingley ed. Agricola para 21). Agricola was brutal with those that opposed him and yet with those that supported him he was clement (Mattingley ed. Agricola para 20). He sought to bring the Britons into the world of Rome, hoping to corrupt them from their military valour. Tacitus stresses that this came alongside good governance and a cultural education, Agricola sought to wipe out the British tongue replacing it with Latin and to get the sons of chieftans to take places in his court. He sought to replace a martial scale of value with a peaceful one- a British definition of patriotism with a Roman one. For Tacitus this process of cultural assimilation to the norms of peace from the virtues of barbaric independence was the means by which Rome's colonies survived- it was also as he commented elsewhere the means by which her armies became effeminate and eventually tossed by the ambition of the Caesars.

(615 quotes found)
"Gasoline prices are falling because refineries are flooding the market with their remaining inventories of winter-grade fuel, which happens every year at this time. The slight downward trend should continue for a couple of weeks. Refineries begin shipping summer-grade fuel on March 1st. After then, motorists can expect to see prices turn upward again."
Carol Thorp
"Refiners are selling off all supplies of winter grade fuel in advance of next Tuesday's deadline. That has put extra supply on the market, sending prices lower. Motorists can expect to see prices stay near current levels for a couple of weeks. After that, with the extra winter grade supply used up, motorists should expect more upward pressure on retail gas prices."
"I've seen executives at that level leave already, and I would expect that to continue throughout this winter."
Burke Stinson
"It was a tough, long winter, ... I was on crutches for eight weeks and really got into rehabilitation. It wasn't until March of the following year that I was able to play golf again and even then it was very tender."
Bryan Norton
"Winter is about to make a strong comeback."
Bill Sammler
"He did well over the winter. For me, personally, he's a horse they all have to beat."
Brian Meehan
"I don't necessarily spring-clean, I mid-winter clean. I try to stay organized, though, so I don't have to spring-clean."
Clint Burgess
"There's a consensus in the market that winter is over and there's a lot of gas around. We may have more gas available this summer than we have storage."
Bruno Stanziale
"She really flourished over the winter in Florida. We knew she'd get better with more distance."
Allen Jerkens
"It's certainly the strongest storm this winter season."

I am still trying to finish my work shop I have most of my tools set up now. And am proud to say most of them are RIDGID. However I am not from Central New York I am from Florida. I do not keep my shop heated. I use a heater when I am out there working should I worry about the tempature have any effect on how my tools will perform. I know heat expands and cold contracts. Just a question looking for any and all feed back.
No announcement yet.
What effect does temp. have on tools.
My personal opinion and experience is that temperature would have negligable effects on your tools. Certainly I don't see Florida has having any extreme differences, and from what I've seen, neither does NY, at least as it regards normal tool materials like steel, cast iron, and aluminum. Some plastics may get a littel brittle and zero temperatures but we genarally don't work at that temp and the variation from cold to hot or reverse is really only a matter of 50 degrees, generally. Now Siberia or North Alaska, Main or Minnesota might be a bit different.
Probably a much bigger concern for you would be humidity and those almost tropic temperatures of summer. Rust, corrosion, mold, and those creepy crawly things that exist in Florida would be more my concern. Similarly, these same conditions would seem to be a bit challenging for woodworking, at least from my "northern" perspective.
I hope this helps,
you may want to look at condensation when it cool in the shop and geting hot out side you may get condensation on your metal tools.Charlie

Thanks Steelers086 for my awesome signature!!!
Thanks for the new avatar SteelerBee!
basically thats what im afraid of... same ole situation
even BA... Ben is his golfing buddy, he aint going no where bc Ben runs this team not Tomlin
- Zachintosh66 (SCM 1135)
2013 Record: 7-1. (TW 27-6 Rams) (TW 28-0 Raptors) (TW 33-12 Thunder) (TW 7-21 Seminoles) (TW 39-32 Cougars) (TW 23-15 Stealth) (TW 58-8 Force) (TW 31-28 Fury)
I can't stand the play calling and game plans, or lack thereof, of this staff. How can you not be ready for a playoff game? What team did they look at films for? Just phucking dreadful. If Arians is there next year, I will not tune in.
Tomlin has shown time and time again he calls a game to not lose it, instead of calling it to win it.
Tough schedule next year. Won't even make the playoffs with this bunch.
If we did bring in a new OC, who would you guys want?
Josh McDaniels is already signed up with the pats. they know what they have in him.
Schott is being blamed for Martinez's losses. Schott was an offensive genius last year...
I think Martinez and Holmes ruined their offense. Schott is a good pick. crap.. anybody over arians.
I'd love to see BA gone and hope like hell it happens...His play calling just baffles the hell out of me. I know Ben wants to throw more ,but when he is hurt you need to adjust the game plan,and his game plan never changes.
I would like to see LeBeau around even though yesterday was not a highlight of his career. It is hard for me to call for his head when the defense was missing as many starters as it was. In his defense I will say he at least has shown the ability to phase in new players ...
Who's call is it to change coaches? Does Tomlin have that authority or is it the front office?
BITE ME ICS!...Woodsonsgirl
I can see Raheem Morris coming in on defense, not sure on offense, is there someone from within?
by martinez, you mean sanchez?
