Just found this website so I thought I'd say hi. I haven't been playing tennis that long. Just play (hopefully) once a week, but usually can't even play that often because the person I play with isn't always available. I think I'm pretty decent for the amount of play that I had but I'm looking to improve. I'm in the Westpark Tollroad and 99 area.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks sank Thursday as uncertainty over U.S. monetary policy led to more declines on Wall Street. Japanese shares stood out with massive losses and a move back into bear-market territory as a further rally in the yen thrashed exporters.
The Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -0.80% plummeted 6.4% to end at 12,445.38 in Tokyo for its sixth loss in seven trading days. The drop marked the benchmark's decline for a seventh straight Thursday, including the 7.3% plunge on May 23.
The selloff came as the U.S. dollar USDJPY, +0.39% fell as low as ¥93.76 during the session, nearly two full yen lower than the ¥95.61-level seen in North America late on Wednesday. The drop followed a third straight session of losses for U.S. stocks Wednesday, on concerns the Federal Reserve could taper down its bond purchases.
The dollar's tumble against the yen "will put regional markets under pressure, but it may also [force] the U.S. Fed to reconsider its tapering plans in the face of a global sell off," said Kim Eng Securities director of sales trading Andrew Sullivan.
The Nikkei's 6.4% drop put it 21.9% off from its intraday peak reached on May 23. A bear market is generally defined as a price decline of 20% or more over at least a two-month period, though the current fall has been in a much shorter time frame. The Nikkei briefly entered bear-market territory last Friday.
Elsewhere in the region, Singapore's Straits Times Index lost 0.7% in afternoon trade. The index had dropped much further earlier in the day to enter a so-called correction territory — widely regarded as a 10% drop from a recent peak. Stocks in some other Southeast Asian markets suffered much bigger losses, with the Philippine stock benchmark ending 6.8% lower, while Thailand's SET TH:SETIDX slid 4.6% by late afternoon.
The losses Wednesday on Wall Street reinforced "the notion that the market is similar to a junkie who needs a constant fix, which in this case comes in the form of monetary stimulus," said CMC Markets sales trader Miguel Audencial.
"Even a slight indication or the speculation that this stimulus will be scaled down may ignite a sell-off," Audencial said.
Meanwhile, China's Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -0.96% tumbled 2.8% as the markets reopened for the first time this week after a string of holidays, giving investors a chance to react to a string of downbeat economic data released over the weekend, including the monthly trade and inflation figures.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.37% skidded 2.2%, and South Korea's Kospi SEU, -0.11% lost 1.4%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.39% fell 0.6% to enter so-called correction territory — having dropped more than 10% from the highs reached in May. The benchmark declined despite official figures showing an unexpected improvement in employment trends during May.
Stock movers
In Japan, stocks found little respite as the U.S. dollar USDJPY, +0.39% fell under the ¥94 level, raising more fears about the earnings outlook of companies with a significant international presence.
Global tumult grips markets

Shares of Fast Retailing Co. 9983, -0.95% FRCOY, -0.19% skidded 8.6%, Hino Motors Ltd. 7205, -0.43% HINOY, -1.54% slumped 9.9%, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. 6305, -1.03% HTCMY, -2.34% plummeted 8.6% and Advantest Corp. 6857, +2.00% US:ATE lost 9.4%.
"The combination of elevated risk aversion and disappointment over recent policy announcements, in particular the lack of detail about Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe's 'third arrow,' has prompted ever more upside for the [yen]" said Crédit Agricole forex strategy chief Mitul Kotecha.
Chinese property developers and banks suffered heavy losses during the session.
In Hong Kong, heavyweight stock China Construction Bank Corp. 0939, -1.25% CICHY, +0.00% lost 3.2% and China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd. 0688, -1.55% CAOVF, -0.94% skidded 3.5%; in Shanghai, Poly Real Estate Group Co. 600048, -0.21% lost 4.5%, Citic Securities Co. 600030, -0.56% CIIHF, +7.14% plunged 6.4% and shares of CCB 601939, -0.17% gave up 1.5%.
In Sydney, mining stocks came under pressure, with BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP, +0.99% BHP, +0.42% lower by 2.6%, and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. FMG, +0.65% FSUMF, +1.06% sliding 3.4%.
Rio Tinto Ltd. shares RIO, +0.23% RIO, +0.05% declined 2.4%. The company said it plans to sell its Eagle nickel and copper project to Lundin Mining Corp. LUN, +2.17%

I would love to see at least an option given to CPAN devs to create an 'easier' install process.
Easier how? CPAN appears to be a source code repository... on the other hand you have PPM repositories (esp ActiveStates) with GUI frontend, and then you have Debian apt-get... but wait, apt-get is commandline ... but wait, CPANPLUS::Shell::Tk, CPANPLUS::Shell::Wx but wait, that is still about same level of hardness; how can it get easier?

My Ghoul Friday
I am over the moon about a recent purchase. I commissioned Emily of Skull and Crossbuns to make me a Ghoul Friday stamp. And here it is!
Emily hand carves each and every stamp she sells (at an extremely reasonable price). It's a thing of beauty. She has loads of stamps for sale that I covet (including some lovely pumpkins, skulls and owls). If you like stamps with original designs, or need a custom one made, Emily is your gal.
I spent yesterday evening stamping over 50 bags with my logo and they look as though I had them professionally printed. I am so pleased I'm beside myself with giddiness.

I've always had a flat stomach, but just lately, even though I haven't gained weight, the skin on my stomach has become a little loose. This has also happen in my upper arm area. I was wondering if there is a laser available to treat this problem. I've heard of Titan,Thermage (which I had bad results with on my face), and Refirme. Please let me know which is best and if you are doctor in the NYC/NJ area that could help. Thanks!
Best Way to Tighten Skin on Tummy?
Doctor Answers 2
In my practice I use the GentleYag laser (Candela, 1064nm) for laser skin tightening. The treatment runs from 10-20 minutes and is minimally painful with no downtime. Typically optimal results are achieved with a series of treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Patients have been happy with the results, but by no means is laser skin tightening the best option for everyone. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and the best treatment options for achieving the results you are looking for. Click on the link below to see a video on the GentleYag laser and how we use it in our practice.

Set in a thickly wooded valley, Ginzan is a picture-perfect Japanese town. Snow falls gently on the tiny wooden bridges that cross the gushing river. Old-fashioned gas lamps glow in the early evening darkness, illuminating the cobbled streets and graceful dark-timbered faades along the water's edge. But one building stands out, a stark modern structure of glass and wood that glows from roof to floor like an intricate Japanese lantern. This is Fujiya Ginzan, a building that is helping to redefine the ryokan.
Until recently, Fujiya was as traditional a ryokan as could be found in Japan. This meant tatami matt floors, futon beds and a strict timetable of dining, bathing and curfews. It was a regime passed down within the Fujiya family for hundred of years. Now that Fujiya is gone. Redesigned by the renowned architect Kengo Kuma, it has reopened as an eight-bedroom temple of sleek modernity, natural materials and luxurious Western touches.
Entering through the sliding glass doors, it's clear that the ryokan rulebook has been rewritten. The dramatic full-height lobby feels more art gallery than accommodation, the striking central staircase encased in thousands of vertical lengths of bamboo, and furniture is so scarce there isn't even a reception desk.
There's no public check-in procedure; my bags are simply whisked away and, once my boots have been swapped for buttery soft leather slippers, I am shown to my room. I ascend a staircase that appears to hover and walk down a corridor with walls covered in creamy mottled Japanese paper, everywhere softly lit by recessed floor lamps.
Finally I reach my tatami room with a twist. Instead of woven matting and carpet there are gleaming wooden floorboards and slate. The king-size futon bed is dressed in soft linens and raised on a permanent wooden base. No floor cushions and kneeling are required. A paper door glides open to reveal a sleek dining table and chairs, with views of the rushing river below.
Many traditional ryokan struggle to integrate the new with the old. No such problem here: a rainforest shower and deep cedar tub are part of the open-plan room; the sink is built into the bed's wide headboard. Clever design disguises the functional and ugly; heaters, sockets and toilets are hidden from view. All that's left is a perfectly calm, cream cocoon.
Swapping my clothes for a gorgeous lilac yukata (summer kimono), I sit in the dining room and am served a kaiseki dinner, a gourmet multi-course banquet essential to any ryokan stay. Platters of beautifully presented food keep appearing in the hands of stylishly dressed staff. Sushi and sashimi, nabe stews and pickles, wafer-thin slices of beef and sesame, rice and fruit, all served in delicate china with fresh blossoms for decoration.
After dinner I meet Jeanie, the passionate kimono-clad okami, or general manager, whose family owns and runs the ryokan. Over green tea I learn that while younger guests love the brave design, older people are not so sure. "They have an image of what a Japanese inn should be," she explains. "Then they come here and they think, where am I? They are shocked."
But Japanese lifestyles are changing. Younger couples are having children later and want to use their leisure time to escape the strict social structures that still bind them. "Our typical guests are in their thirties," says Jeanie. "They work hard and want a leisurely, luxurious weekend away. They want privacy and comfort."
Fujiya isn't alone in responding to their demands. In Hakone, the Kinnotake ryokan offers luxurious east-meets-west suites and the chance to sip cocktails until the early hours in its beautiful bar. Tokinoshizuku, also in Hakone, decorates its Japanese rooms with plush rugs and Italian leather furniture as well as offering a cigar bar and aromatherapy salon. And the luxurious boutique Arcana Hotel built on the site of an old Izu ryokan, south-west of Tokyo, is now booked months in advance.
Fujiya's redesign was as much about service as style. So out went the strict timetables and the set menus, as growing numbers of Japanese guests have allergies or food preferences that once were unheard of. Out too went standard communal onsen (hot spring baths), separated by the sexes and limited in their opening hours.
In came five beautifully designed private baths for couples to share which are open 24 hours a day. I sampled one at midnight and was not only shown the ropes by a beaming, bowing assistant but was also sure it was cleaned as soon as I shuffled away, lobster pink, on my wooden geta clogs. Next morning I reluctantly relin-quished my yukata and leave the ryokan. As I step out into the snow, I see a couple stop dead in their tracks to gaze through the glass. They say time moves slowly in Ginzan, but I know I'm not the only one who is glad that's not true.
How to get there:
Bullet trains from Tokyo to Oishida take three hours 20 minutes, price 23,280 yen (104) return. Contact the Japan Travel Bureau (020-7808 3160).

Capital City: | Memphis | |
Reign: | - Very little about this Pharaoh, the last king of the 3rd Dynasty
- He established a fortress in Elephantine, securing the southern border of Egypt at the First Cataract. - He changed tradition by moving the royal necropolis from Saqqara, south to Meidum in Fayum - He was the father of Snefru, out of Meresankh, who was either a lesser wife or concubine. - Substantial construction
| |
Burial: | - He might have started the construction of the pyramid at Meidum, which was later finished by Snefru
However there is no evidence that the Meidum pyramid was his burial place, since only Snefru and his family appear in the inscriptions, this gave ground to a theory that Snefru built the Pyramid of Meidum pyramid alone, and Huni has nothing to do with it Unique to the pyramid; however, is the first square ground plan unlike the rectangular plans of previous mastabas, an architectural invention which was introduced to all future of Egyptian pyramids | |
Successor: | - His successor was his son Snefru who legitimized the throne by marring to his half sister queen Hetepheres, who was also the daughter of Huni | |
