On This Day In Tennis History
It was 35 years ago Saturday that perhaps the most famous single tennis match in the history of the sport was held in Houston, Texas when Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in the famed "Battle of the Sexes." The following are events that happened this week in tennis history as documented in my soon-to-be-released book ON THIS DAY IN TENNIS HISTORY ($19.95, New Chapter Press, www.tennistomes.com).
September 20
1973 – In perhaps the most socially significant event in the history of tennis and sports history, 29-year-old Billie Jean King defeats 55-year-old Bobby Riggs 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in 2 hours, 4minutes to win the "Battle of the Sexes" played at the Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The match is played in a circus-like atmosphere in front of a world record crowd of 30,492 fans and millions in front of televisions around the world. "She was too good," says Riggs, the 1939 Wimbledon champion, following the match. "She played too well. She was playing well within herself and I couldn't get the most out of my game. It was over too quickly." Writes Neil Amdur of the New York Times, "King struck a proud blow for herself and women around the world."
1988 – The sport of tennis returns to official status as an Olympic sport for the first time since 1924 as the tennis competition opens at the Seoul Games. Wimbledon champion Stefan Edberg, the winner of the gold medal in men's singles at the 1984 demonstration in Los Angeles, plays the first match on stadium court, defeating Austria's Horst Skoff 7-6, 6-2, 6-3. Says Edberg of tennis being part of the Olympics, "I don't really know whether we should be here in tennis, but it is worth giving it a chance. It needs some time. In the 1920s, there weren't that many countries competing in the Olympics. Now, here, all the top players aren't competing so that hurts it a little bit. Plus, we have all the Grand Slam events we play in, and those are the most important right now to us. But this is only played every four years, so there's nothing wrong with trying it."
1977 – Ilie Nastase is upset in the round of the Grand Prix tournament in Paris by Frenchman Georges Goven, who uses a double-strung "spaghetti" racquet to post the 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 victory. The spaghetti-strung racquet provides added speed and lift to shots. "That's the first time I've played against someone using one of those things," says Nastase of the spaghetti-strung racquet.
2000 – Just one week after being crowned U.S. Open champion, No. 1 seeded Marat Safin of Russia, bows out in the first round of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, losing to Fabrice Santoro of France 1-6, 6-1, 6-4. Safin takes the court barely 24 hours after arriving in Sydney from Uzbekistan, where Safin won the President's Cup in Tashkent.
[ad#adify-300×250]1969 – Stan Smith and Bob Lutz give the United States an insurmountable 3-0 lead over Romania, clinching the Davis Cup title, defeating Ilie Nastase and Ion Tiriac 8-6, 6-1, 11-9 in Cleveland, Ohio.
1997 – Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge defeat Pete Sampras and Todd Martin 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-4 to cut the U.S. lead over Australia to 2-1 in the Davis Cup semifinals in Washington, D.C. Sampras is so angry at the loss that he refuses to attend the post-match press conference, causing the International Tennis Federation to fine the U.S. team $1,000. "I really didn't have anything to say. I really didn't," Sampras says the next day. "I was getting a rubdown, and the key thing was to recover, because I played back-to-back matches. It was more important to get ready for an early match, an 11 o'clock match. It is early for me."
September 21
1997 – World No. 1 Pete Sampras defeats reigning U.S. Open champion and No. 3-ranked Patrick Rafter 6-7 (8), 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 to clinch the 4-1 victory for the United States over Australia in the Davis Cup semifinal in Washington, D.C. Says Sampras of the satisfying win over the man who took the U.S. Open title he held since 1995, "I couldn't play any better. I did everything that I could do very well. I served and returned well. If I can play at that level and that intensity, I feel like I am going to be pretty tough to beat." Sampras never faces a break point on the afternoon and gives up only 18 points on his serve over four sets. Says Rafter, "Pete served too well today. I played Pete a lot of times before and I've always had at least one chance to break him. But today I couldn't read his serve and just didn't pick the ball up. He was too good for me on the day." After Sampras and Michael Chang win opening day singles matches over Mark Philippoussis and Rafter, respectively, Australia cuts the U.S. lead to 2-1 in the doubles contest, defeating Sampras and Todd Martin 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-4. Sampras is so angry at the doubles loss that he refuses to attend the post-match press conference, causing the International Tennis Federation to fine the U.S. team $1,000. "I really didn't have anything to say. I really didn't," Sampras says after his win over Rafter of skipping his media session after the doubles loss the previous day. "I was getting a rubdown, and the key thing was to recover, because I played back-to-back matches. It was more important to get ready for an early match, an 11 o'clock match. It is early for me."
2000 – Venus Williams defeats Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand 6-2, 6-3 in the second round of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and then pairs with younger sister Serena in the pair's Olympic doubles debut, defeating Canada's Vanessa Webb and Sonya Jeyaseelan 6-3, 6-1 in the first round. In between matches, Venus meets with Janette Howard, the wife of Australian Prime Minister John Howard, and trades pins with The Right Honorable Hage Geingob, the Prime Minister of the African nation of Namibia.
2003 – Agustin Calleri of Argentina, substituting for teammate Mariano Zabaleta, connects on an incredible 109 winners in just three sets in beating reigning French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-4, 7-5, 6-1 to level Argentina even with Spain in the Davis Cup semifinal in Malaga, Spain. Carlos Moya beats Gaston Gaudio in the fifth and decisive rubber of the tie 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to elevate Spain to the final.
1988 – Called a "David-and-Goliath tennis match" by Bill Dwyre of the Los Angeles Times, 19-year-old Clement N'Goran of the Ivory Coast, ranked No. 827 in the world, falls to Britain's Andrew Castle, ranked No. 142, 6-7, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6, 7-5 in the first round of the Olympic tennis competition.
[ad#randy-1]Michael Chang To Be Inducted In The International Tennis Hall Of Fame
On Saturday, July 12, the International Tennis Hall of Fame will induct its Class of 2008 – Michael Chang, Mark McCormack and Gene Scott – in ceremonies at the home of the Hall of Fame, The Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. Hall of Fame journalist Bud Collins profiles all three inductees in his just-off-the-press book THE BUD COLLINS HISTORY OF TENNIS ($35.95, New Chapter Press, click here for 39 percent discount). Today, we present to you the profile of Michael Chang.
Michael Chang was cramping so badly that he couldn't risk sitting down on the changeovers. What did it matter that hot 1989 afternoon in Stade Roland Garros? Michael, a California teen-ager, was far behind No. 1 Ivan Lendl in the fourth round of the French Open, and his chances looked empty. Nevertheless, 17-years, 95 days-old, Michael was filled with hope and grit, and kept running and retrieving to pull himself back into the match from two sets back-and actually take it away from Lendl, the three-time champ, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, in 4:39.
That was the start of an electrifying, unlikely dash to the title that had last been held by an American man, Tony Trabert, 34 years before, and made little Michael the youngest of all male possessors of a major singles. Despite his lack of clay court experience, Chang followed up on Lendl by out-dueling guys brought up on it: Ronald Agenor of Haiti, Andrei Chesnokov of the USSR and finally, dodging a gang of break points, defeating No. 3 Stefan Edberg, 6-1, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
Those were the early steps to the 2008 posting in the Hall of Fame for 5-foot-9, 160 pound Michael. Perpetual motion personified, making few mistakes, he would be a finalist in three more majors (1995 French to Thomas Muster; 1996 Australian to Boris Becker, and 1996 U.S., to Pete Sampras), play a vital role in the American Davis Cup triumph of 1990 and bank 33 more titles, runnerup in 21 others.
During two chilly, damp afternoons in Vienna, with horn-blowing crowds of 18,000 cheering against him, Michael scored one of the greatest U.S. Davis Cup victories. Deadlocked 2-2 with Austria in the Cup semifinal, Chang found himself trapped, two sets behind Horst Skoff. He hung on to win a set before darkness intervened. Returning the following day, his serve, like his legs, revived, Michael won, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He and Don Budge (who turned the trick in 1937 against Gottfried von Cramm of Germany) are the only U. S. Cuppers to win a decisive fifth match from two sets down.
In the final, ending a U.S. Cup slump of eight years, Chang beat Darren Cahill, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), 6-0, the first day, for a 2-0 lead over Australia, soon defeated. He was the youngest on an American Cup winner. His record in Davis Cup; played six ties; four years, 8-4 singles.
This diminutive dynamo, a speedy right-hander with both-handed backhand, was born Feb. 22, 1972, in Hoboken, N.J. of Chinese-American parentage, raised in Southern California. He was coached by older brother, Carl Chang, a University of California-Berkeley varsity player.
Edberg caught up with him in 1992, Chang losing a record-length U.S. Open match in 5:26 (a semifinal), the second longest major singles, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), 5-7, 6-4. In a 17-year professional career, he made the world's Top 10 seven years-No. 5 in 1989, 95; No. 6 in 1992, 94; No. 8 in 1993; No. 2 in 1996; No. 3 in 1997.
Prior to his 2003 retirement, he made the semis of the Australian two other times-1995 and 97; two other U.S. semifinals-1992 and 97 and the quarters of Wimbledon in 1994. He won 34 singles titles (662-312 matches) and $19,145, 632 in prize money.
Wimbledon Memories
Qualifying at Wimbledon is a great experience and I remember walking through those pearly gates in the early 1990's. The two times I played singles there I drew Nick Brown and Mark Petchey, both of England.
Nick beat me in straights and went onto upset Goran Ivanisevic in the next round. I would have loved to have played a top player, but I drew the local boys each time. I was suppose to play Mark on the first Monday, and it rained all week and I didn't play until Friday. Petchey was used to it but it was severe torture for me. It would be like having to choose to either marry Maria Sharapova or Helena Christensen.
The seeded players at Wimbledon get a special locker room, while the other participants would be regulated to the second one close to the road. You could open up the window and peer out and watch all the people come in. I remember Derrick Rostagno, the cool southern Californian who was seeded, choose to keep his belongings with the plebians rather than the seeded players locker room.
I remember that my wife accompanied me to Wimbledon often. The Austrian player Horst Skoff (who recently passed away) used to always hit on her, so I thought if he liked her, she couldn't be that bad. She was becoming a dentist in Stockholm, and it was nice to have her come along with me to these events. I played mixed doubles with Lori McNeil and we got to play Grant Connell and a young Lindsay Davenport on Centre Court. We got waxed, and I was again a nervous dude.
I played doubles with Dave Randall, and we had some tough matches. I never got past the round of sixteens in doubles at a major. It irks me in that it is always good to say you got to the "quarters" of a slam. Playing at Wimbledon always reminded me of my upbringing in Albuquerque, where Mike Velesquez would beat me in the state high school finals my junior and senior year. He wore shades once when he beat me before wearing shades was in style.
Overall, there is nothing like competing at The Championships, and one must go and check it out.
Take care,
The Journeyman

Topic tags/keywords: glueing joining together joining I resawed a piece of Teak and would like to bookmark it for a door. When trying to glue with Gorilla Glue it didn't make a good bond. Does any LJs have a way to get a strong joint on 3/8 wood. Thanks Will |

You may want to clean the edges prior to glue up with acetone. The oils in the wood make it tough to glue. Ive had to employ that method when using cypress. -- Something, something, something. |

I agree with any of the Titebonds. Make sure the dry fit joint is perfect without clamping. Then a spare bead of glue without over clamping. Keep it flat during the cure. -- Clint Searl....Ya can no more do what ya don't know how than ya can git back from where ya ain't been |

You's guys are great! No down time ask a question and you get an answer in real time. John the spline should do the trick. I do have some Titebond and will clean the joint give it another try. Thanks all. Will |

Either a spline or use a biscuit jointer with some titebond. |
#7 posted 08-01-2012 02:29 AM |
Be careful with the spline. Sometimes they swell and keep the joint from fitting. If you can, use leftover teak for the spline. Another thing to consider; as edge-grain to edge-grain makes a very strong joint without any help (glues are stronger than the wood or they're useless), just run your bead and clamp. Use c clamps on the ends to force them to line up, a mallet in the centeer and tighten the clamps in steps. Don't over tighten. Steve -- Steve in KY. 44 years so far with my lovely bride. Think I'll keep her. |
#8 posted 08-01-2012 02:33 AM |
No one mentioned lacquer thinner or naphtha to get rid of the oils. And I agree; no splines, no biscuits. Boatbuilders regularly use epoxy on teak with great success. They clean as well, and definitely underclamp. Kindly, Lee -- "...in his brain, which is as dry as the remainder biscuit after a voyage, he hath strange places cramm'd with observation, the which he vents in mangled forms." --Shakespeare, "As You Like It" |
#9 posted 08-01-2012 10:21 PM |
Wiping the edges with acetone is critical. The teak has oil in it that will ruin even an epoxy bond. I like to use "V" bit sets for edge gluing thin panels. The V gives more glue surface and keeps the joint aligned so there is far less need for flattening afterwards. You can see the process in a video on my website. Scroll down the "Skill Building" page, it is About the 5th one from the top, Aligning Thin Edges for Glue Ups. Ralph -- www.consultingwoodworker.com |
#10 posted 08-02-2012 04:01 AM |
The Gorilla glue should have worked but maybe you didn't dampen the surfaces first ? I would have thought Titebond was not the best option given the naturally high oil content of teak. Also, clamping boards only 3/8" thick requires some care as they could easily flex and compromise the glue joint. You should use some scrap wood strapping to prevent this. -- Dwight - "Free legal advice available - contact Dewey, Cheetam & Howe"" |
#11 posted 08-02-2012 05:33 AM |
I used Titebond III on teak for edge gluing and gluing end grain and it has held up for 8 months now. Before you glue the edges wipe them down with denatuted alcahol or mineral spirits to remove any natural oils from the wood. -- Chief Petty Officer USN(RET) 1991-2011 |
#12 posted 08-02-2012 11:55 AM |
There definitely is not one way to do this. It seem like everyone has had successes with different technique. There seem to be one common thread, to clean the joints of the natural oils. I did use Titebond and hopefully it will hold. If I were to do it again I would of made two panels. Time to research rail and stile bit sets. Thanks for the info. I will post the project when done.

Yankees division lead drops to one game
Rays catcher Chris Gimenez was a September call-up, but he was allowed to hit for himself with two outs and the go-ahead run at second base this afternoon, and Gimenez delivered. His eighth-inning, game-winning single past Robinson Cano gave the Rays a 4-3 win in this series opener at Tropicana Field. The Yankees have now lost nine of their past 13, and their division lead is down to one after the Orioles won today. With the game tied at 3, Gimenez stayed in the game to face Dave Robertson and singled to right field, scoring Ryan Roberts. For the Yankees, Eduardo Nunez pinch ran and stole second base in the ninth, but he was left stranded. Yankees starter CC Sabathia allowed three runs through seven innings. Three weak singles led to one run, a solo homer accounted for the second and the Rays tied the game at 3 on a walk, single and RBI groundout in the fifth. The Yankees had taken the lead an inning earlier with a three-run fourth that included a game-tying triple by Raul Ibanez and a go-ahead, hustle single from Russell Martin.

The Southern Section Division 1 track and field CIF prelims were held on Saturday at Trabuco High School. With multiple qualifying races and field events, the meet lasted more than seven hours. The stress on the athletes as they waited for their heats was grueling and took a toll on them. Athletes are generally told to find their refuge, to lie down and rest before their event time begins, but that is hard for many to do when qualifying is the single most important thought on their minds.
Coming out of the Pacific League finals, the Falcons qualified 12 athletes for the CIF prelims. CVHS Coach Mark Evans said that this season's team had worked hard all year and getting into the CIF competition was very satisfying and a valued learning experience. But despite strong performances, none of the Falcon participants qualified to advance to the next round of competition – the CIF finals.
Falcon sophomore Claire Codding was a newcomer to the CIF competition. A high jumper, she cleared 4-10 but missed her three attempts at her previous PR mark of five feet – a disappointing circumstance.
Codding later admitted, "I know I can do better. I am determined to work harder next year and return stronger." The top mark of the day was at 5-4.
The girls 4×100 relay team of Liz Filipian, Brianna Domingo, Kelly Im and anchor Clair Schlueter faced a strong heat of runners. Running a time of 51.81, the Falcon girls could not make the qualifying time. Top mark of the day was 46.87 by Rancho Cucamonga.
Senior Kyle Dickinson, who has been a strong runner for the Falcons, had an off day and unfortunately was not able to replicate his performance in league finals. Running a time of 2:03.34, Dickinson was off his PR mark of 1:56. Top mark of the day was by Great Oak runner Isaac Cortes (1:51.82).
Top Falcon hurdler senior Kenny Kang had established many fine marks this season. Kang placed fifth in his heat running the 300IH in 40.78 to place 19th in a field of 37. Burbank's top hurdler Martin Swan ran a time of 39.37 and placed 13th in the overall standing of the 300IH to capture eighth in the overall standings of the 110HH (14.65). Top mark in the 300IH was 37.87 and the 110HH was 14.02 by La Quinta senior Koty Burton.
CV Senior Liz Filipian got off to a good start in the 100H, racing to a time of 15:98 and rated 17th in the overall standing. Top win went to E. Roosevelt's Brea Bernard-Joseph in a time of 14.38.
Falcon Senior Grace McAuley distinguished herself as one CV's most valuable runners of the season. Leading her teammates consistently made her one of the most respected runners on the team. McAuley ran a time of 11:54.34 in the 3200m, placing 27th in the overall standing. Top time came from Destiny Collins of Great Oak running 10:28.90. Winning both the 3200m as well as setting the best time in the 1600m (4:52.65), Collins is hoping to set PR marks in both events at the finals.
CV sophomore Colin FitzGerald was the last qualifier to run. Though he looked strong running in the front of the pack his finishing time was slower than those in other heats. Unfortunately, FitzGerald's heat did not have the necessary marks to allow winners to move forward. Collins finished fourth in his heat running a time of 9:28.09 and scored 11th in the overall standings. Great Oak's Spenser Dodds qualified with the fastest time of 9:04.16.
The CIF Southern Section track and field finals will be held at Cerritos College on Saturday, May 21. Each Division will compete to qualify for the CIF Master Meet, which will also be held at Cerritos College, on Friday, May 27.

Ethereal thoughts on books and writing.
It's been a busy time for me this month. I am working hard on my book while I am free from other job and school-related distractions. One thing I have learned about writing a book: you can fiddle and rewrite endlessly. I have the sense that if I play around with my words enough, I can always make them better.
But I have been reading. Here are some thoughts:
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen – This one sits atop the Chronicle's best-seller list and was highly praised on its release. It's an atmospheric book about a young man who joins a train circus in 1931. Gruen does an excellent job showing the bizarre and cruel world of the circus, where violence hides under the grin of the circus master. It's a quick and enjoyable read. Nothing too deep or profound but fun.
The Dissident by Nell Freudenberger
Freudenberger is the author of the short-story collection Lucky Girls. She made one of those debuts people dream about – lots of praise in the New York Times and other august publications, long features with attractive photos. The Dissident is her debut novel and it is set in Los Angeles and Beijing. It's really a novel about artiface and why we aren't who we present ourselves as being. I think this theme – which actually took some guessing because of the cryptic nature of the plot – is stronger than the book. What? You ask. It means I didn't love the plot or writing but when I thought about the book after I finished it I decided I enjoyed it.
Consuelo and Alva Vanderbilt: The Story of a Daughter and a Mother in the Gilded Age by Amanda MacKenzie Stuart.
This was a wonderful dual biography of the female Vanderbilts, but it goes way beyond descriptions of the decadent world of Newport society. Alva Vanderbilt was the woman who married her daughter Consuelo off to the Duke of Marlborough just to catapult her family into the social stratosphere. The book details that unhappy marriage and how Conseulo eventually overcame the stultifying British society to work for the downtrodden. Alva was a surprise, too, because she became an ardent suffragist and was critical in the fight for women to get the vote. There's lots of great history and context, as well as glimpses into the world of the Gilded Age rich.
Archie and Amelie: Love and Madness in the Gilded Age by Donna M. Lucey
This is another dual biography of a Gilded Age couple, only these are Astors. Archie Chanler is the great great grandson of John Jacob Astor, but his life is anything but easy as his parents die at an early age. Archie meets and marries Amelie Rives of Virginia, who has written a racy bestseller about a taboo topic – the sexual yearnings of women. The marriage is a disaster from the beginning. Archie is eventually committed to an insane asylum by his siblings and the book does a good job exploring whether he really was crazy or his brothers and sisters were just spiteful. This is a good read but it has absolutely no historical context at all.
Well, you sure a list of great books to entertain us during the summer. I am the type of person who likes to relax all the time so those books can really help.

a flash crash to 1280 here on the S&P would kick off the next wave down nicely, 1100 area seems likely to me by end of year but would not rule out a re-test of the 1000 area which would probably not hold if we get there that quickly due to momentum so that could bring the 666 low of March 2009 into play sooner rather than later
economy much weaker now than then, more unemployed, more food stamps, more welfare, more people deeper in debt due to years of negative cash flow on their underwater McMansion debt trap tax targets, federal deficit exploding totally permanently out of control with zero chance of stopping it so we could see 500 area sometime around March Cynical Pontificator of Crock Stocktology #6Posted 25 November 2012 - 10:18 PM

If you want a similarly frenzied-dice-rolling game, but with more, well, game to it check out Escape: The Curse of the Temple.Players are working together to explore and loot an ancient temple Indiana Jones-style (and to rescue each other from bad rolls that make some of your dice lock up) by frantically rolling handfuls of d6s while a 10-minute CD plays.
My friend, Kent Barnes, told me about Tenzi, a simple dice game. The object of the game is to end up with all of your dice showing the same number.
Here's how to play: Each player gets 10 dice. When one of the players says "go!" everyone rolls their dice. After the first roll, you set the dice with the most matches, and roll the remaining dice to try to match the ones you've set aside. You don't take turns; you just roll as quickly as you can. It usually takes less than a minute for someone to win. It seems idiotically simple. It's more fun than it sounds.
We play a variation: the winner of the previous round gets to choose the point number (between 1 and 6), and everyone has to try to match their dice to that number.

Party: Outro (Summer 2008) Germany + Barcelona
Monday, April 5th, 2010quoting Mark Heuss:
Enjoy the outro section of PARTY. Sums up all the good times me and my friends spend together while shooting the main flick.
Filmed in summer of 2008 all over Germany and a trip to barcelona. Shot with canon XH-A1, redrock micro and canon FD lenses, colour corrected with magic bullet looks. The song used is "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur" by Sigur Ros.
Amusing additional info: I just got done with all my studies, so i will leave Munich in a few weeks. So this outro is also kind of a good bye to the great times I had there. Servus, pfüati und auf wiederschaun!

Welcoming the participants on Friday evening, Archbishop Chaput laid out the responsibility of the business leaders, as men and women who have achieved a certain position in U.S. society, to speak out for all of their brothers and sisters with whom they share cultural and spiritual values. "My hope is that, as Hispanics, you recognize that your faith is at the very core of the values you are bringing. You just can't loose that. If you loose that, you loose it all," Chaput said.
Dr. Carriquiry said that the faith of Hispanic Catholics will play a role not only in the Church of the U.S. but worldwide. Carriquiry pointed out that Catholics in North and South America make up 560 million of the world's 1.08 billion Catholics. And, he said, the percentage will continue to grow in the next decades. "It would be naive or foolish or "ideological" not to keep in mind the weight of the numbers."
While Catholicism in the America's is growing, Carriquiry said, "Europe faces a demographical suicide, it is economically and politically swamped and it seems to hate its own tradition, suffering a silent apostasy of the crowds, in great weakness before the Islamic siege. The destiny of the whole of Catholicism, at least for the next decades of the 21st century, is in great measure being played in the presence and mission of the Catholic Church in the life of our peoples and nations, at an American level."
Dr. Carriquiry, who spoke to the business leaders about Pope Benedict's hopes for Hispanics in the U.S., warned against the "subjectivist drift" which occurs among many in modern western culture. The Vatican official said that unfortunately many people, spurred on by the media and an individualistic culture tend to aim for cultural and religious pluralism which causes, "many Catholics to eventually compose…their own mix of beliefs, accepting and discarding arbitrarily the theological and moral truths under the custody and teaching of the catholic Church." "Only the 'truth will set you free,'" Carriquiry reminded.
Carriquiry challenged those present to grow in fidelity and depth of faith in order to grow in the "richness of sanctity, charity, doctrine, morality, wisdom and the culture of the catholic tradition." Faith, he said, should grow in the midst of the changing world, indeed at the height of it. And faith, "must be able to give reason of itself, of its reasonableness and convenience for people, of the inseparable and enriching synthesis of truth and liberty, of its strength and aptitude to serve more humanely in this society, of its capacity to host, include, embrace, purify, and exalt the best of the cultural and religious tradition of this country, of its ethical discernment to face very crucial and delicate questions that are raised in the field of scientific investigation, technological progress, legislation, politics and business including the international order."
"A mentality and sensibility must be cultivated and grown that can gradually lead to a judgment of all of reality from the intelligence of the Catholic faith," he said.
Archbishop Gomez said that with this Catholic view of reality, sanctity is possible for everyone.
Telling the story of Blessed Salvador Huerta Gutiérrez, a new Mexican blessed, who was a business owner, Archbishop Gomez told the business leaders that there is no inherent contradiction between being a business owner and being a saint.
"In fact," the archbishop said, "I hope there are many among you who are striving, as you build your businesses and careers, to also grow in holiness, to become saints."
"In God's eyes, you are working for more than the bottom line, more than the next quarterly earnings report," Gomez continued. "It's not that those things are unimportant. They are supremely important. God wants you to succeed and achieve. He wants you to be the very best you can be at what you do. God wants us to do our work well. But we have to do it with the right intention and attitude."
"You are not working only for a salary or a commission; you're not even working only for your clients or shareholders. You are working for God's sake, as well. Everything you do, then, must be worthy of God."

*NOTE: The bundle listed above is only available in the US. Please check the Wacom website to find out what is included in the bundle in your country.
New Wacom® Graphire®4 Pen Tablets Make It Fun And Easy To Edit Digital Photos, Draw, Paint And Jot Notes
Vancouver, WA, Sept. 13, 2005 – Wacom's new Graphire4 pen tablets provide the tools needed to have fun editing photos and exploring digital creativity. These new pen tablets include a patented, cordless, battery-free pen and mouse, a tablet and five valuable software applications. Using the natural control of the pen and the included software, it's easy to enhance photos and to create artwork for scrapbooks, craft projects and slide shows. It's also easy to communicate more personally by using the pen to digitally jot notes, annotate documents and sketch quick diagrams. Graphire4 pen tablets are available immediately in a choice of three colors (Silver, White and Metallic Blue) and two sizes (4x5 and 6x8) which are priced at $99 and $199.
"Wacom is delighted to present a product that is designed for people embracing a digital lifestyle," said Joseph W. Deal, President and CEO of Wacom Technology Corporation. "In the same way our Intuos products meet the needs of serious photographers, designers and artists, the new affordable Graphire4 provides the creative controls and applications for countless hours of personal fun."
Cordless, Battery-Free Graphire4 Pen
The comfortable Graphire4 pen offers 512 levels of pressure sensitivity for control, two programmable side-buttons for convenience and a pressure-sensitive eraser for easy fixes. Pressure sensitivity makes it possible to control the amount of a software tool's effect simply by varying how firmly the pen tip is pressed to the tablet. Using a Graphire4 pen is easy because every point on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When the pen is moved over the tablet the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen.
Cordless, Battery-Free Graphire4 Mouse
The Graphire4 mouse is ball-free so tracking is always smooth and highly accurate with up to four times the resolution of an optical mouse. It features a rubberized grip for comfort and the scrolling fingerwheel also serves as a third programmable button for convenience. Alternately using the pen and mouse reduces repetitive motion.
Graphire4 Tablet
The Graphire4 tablet uses a USB connection for quick installation on both PCs and Macs. The new transparent photo frame makes the tablet easy to personalize with photos and artwork. The photo frame also contains a clever pen compartment that, along with the pen stand, provides two convenient ways to keep the pen handy and secure. The Graphire4 now features a scroll wheel right on the tablet and two programmable ExpressKeys™ for navigation, mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts.
Software For Enhancing Photos With Pen Control
The control of the Graphire4 pen and the included copy of Adobe® (Nasdaq: ADBE) Photoshop® Elements 3 make it possible to quickly and easily edit and organize digital photos. Selectively applying high-quality photographic enhancements using the included nik Color Efex Pro™ 2 GE filter collection is also a breeze. "Wacom's pen tablets offer the right tools for editing photos and deliver a totally natural feel to digital art," says Ms. Lynette Kent, renowned art instructor and digital scrapbooking author. "The controls and applications included with the new Graphire4 are all about making the personal creative experience fun, free flowing and easy."
Drawing And Painting Software
The natural feel of the Graphire pen and the amazing capabilities of Corel® Painter™ Essentials 2 (included) make creating great looking artwork fun. When used with a Wacom pen, Painter Essentials 2 can look and feel like just about any natural art tool and is perfect for creating original artwork from photos.
Software For Jotting Notes, Marking-Up And More
On a PC, JustWrite Office™ 4 (included) offers the ability to annotate Microsoft® (Nasdaq: MSFT) Office documents and EverNote Plus™ (included) makes it possible to jot instantly retrievable notes and organize all types of information. EverNote Plus makes managing personal information easy by providing handwriting recognition, shape recognition, a timeline view of notes, instantaneous note searching, web page cataloging, customizable categories and more. On a Mac, the Graphire4 pen provides the control to enjoy all the digital-inking capabilities of Apple® (Nasdaq: AAPL) Inkwell®.
Additionally, Graphire4 customers using Adobe's free downloadable Acrobat® 7 Reader can mark up Acrobat documents with digital ink, if the "Enable for commenting in Acrobat Reader" feature was turned on when the document was created.

New Beginnings
Right now, as I gather the photos for this post, the air coming through the windows is cool and there is a scent of burning wood. It's officially fall, and officially, my favorite time of the year!
The past week has been super busy photographing, editing and listing items, and mailing a ton of shipments for the Etsy shop. I had some really great pieces for sale that sold in less than 12 hours of being listed. I thought about saving all the listings as drafts and do a grand-reopening of the shop once it was fully stocked, but, hey, a sale is a sale, and as they say, time is money!
Thanks to everyone who has supported me and purchased items from the shop. It's really a labor of love and I really appreciate your patronage.
Even though so many pieces have sold the past week, there are some great items still for sale like this set of vintage orange and yellow Pyrex Daisy nesting cinderella bowls.
On Saturday, we kicked off the autumnal equinox by taking part in an Indian festival in Philadelphia called Ratha Yatra. Three large, brightly colored chariots paraded down the Ben Franklin Parkway form city hall to the art museum. We had some yummy vegan Indian food and were able to watch my bff's super talented daughter dance at the festival site.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I can get back to baking! I made vegan chocolate chip cookies from The Joy of Vegan Baking (I added dried cherries and almonds) and donuts from Vegan Yum Yum for friends (I forgot to photograph those; very unlike me!). I didn't even taste one of the donuts, but one of the friends said, "Seriously, those were some f'in righteous donuts." I'll have to make a batch for the kids so I can try them for myself.
On Sunday morning, we did our fall weekend morning favorites: drank coffee, listened to jazz, read The New York Times, and played bocce ball. In The New York Times Magazine, there was an article by Mark Bittman about the the ancient food of Mexico. This recipe for polkanes (a fried corn fritter) was included and is now on my list of new foods to make.
We concluded the weekend with a stroll through lovely downtown Media, PA where I saw this candy shop sign. They have been in business for over 50 years! I love the wording, "own make candy." Overall, it was a pretty sweet weekend.

Had em both running on XBOX 360 + PS3 consoles at same time. The PS3 version looks a bit more colourful than the 360 version, but probably a bit more unrealistic for it. People are saying that the PS3 version runs smoother, i couldnt see any evidence of that, infact id say the 360 version edges it overall. |

I just came to post the very same information ;-)
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health - Voltaire
Looks like a hunters star version.
Not it, but is very similar: Corn and Beans
I can't decide which version of the two piecing diagrams would be less of a hassle to piece.
I think at some point all those seams are going to have to be aligned anyway, whether it's done within a block, or block-to-block.
So it probably doesn't make a difference.
I would never have pegged that for a Jenny Bowker quilt.
It's so ...traditional.
Go figure.
I made the quilt Sweet Dreams by Carolyn Designs and it is very similar. It was paper pieced and fun to do Took quite a bit on concentration!
great looking quilt and awesome colours.
God Bless you all.
I have no idea, but it is sure pretty.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I hadn't seen any of her quilts before but boy do I love that Shimmer. Looks like she is out of Australia so probably not much chance of a class and I didn't see any books/patterns by her but will keep an eye open as I really love her quilts.

The high office building marks the entrance to the city of Haarlem. It refers to the medieval bastions that once protected this city. The old fortifications were a distinct marking between the city and countryside. Like them, Oostpoort Centre stands in the water. The tall, narrow windows are reminiscent of the loopholes in the medieval city walls. The different rhythms of it subtly nuance the iconic appearance of the building. The base of the building opens literally to the environment and the cantilever top accentuates the symbolic gateway function of the building mass.

In North America, a busboy, busgirl, busser or bus person is a person who works in the restaurant and catering industry clearing tables, taking dirty dishes to the dishwasher, setting tables, and otherwise assisting the waiting staff.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Speakers of British English may be unfamiliar with the terms, which are translated in British English as commis waiter, commis boy, or waiter's assistant.[7][9][10][11] The term for a busser in the classic brigade de cuisine system is commis de débarrasseur, or simply débarrasseur.[12][13] Bussers are typically placed beneath the waiting staff in organization charts, and are sometimes an apprentice or trainee to waiting staff positions.[12]
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the occupation typically did not require related work experience or a high school diploma, that on-the-job training was short term, and that the median income in 2012 for the position was $18,500.[14]
The duties of bussers fall under the heading of busing or bussing, an Americanism of unknown origin.[13]
It has been claimed[15] that the term originated in America as 'omnibus boy', a boy employed to do everything ('omni') in a restaurant including setting and clearing tables, filling glasses, taking used dishes to the kitchen, etc.
Job description[edit]
Primary functions of the busser are to clean and reset tables, carry dishes and other tableware to the kitchen, serve items such as water, coffee and bread, replenish supplies of linens, tableware and trays, and assist servers with clearing plates and other areas of table service.[8][12] Other tasks include cleaning and polishing fixtures, walls, furniture and equipment, cleaning tableware, cleaning food service areas, mopping and vacuuming floors, cleaning up spills, removing empty bottles and trash, and scraping and stacking dirty dishes.[8]
One guide to manners advised that bussers should not speak to or interrupt those being served, and to simply refill glasses at the table rather than asking if customers would like more water.[16] Likewise, it advises customers against engaging bussers and waiting staff in distracting conversations, as they are often busy.[16] A business etiquette guide suggests that customers should refer to bussers and waiting staff with the gender-neutral terms busser and server rather than waiter or busboy.[17] It also says that the busser is the employee that must be informed if items like a water glass or piece of flatware is missing.[17]
Tip income[edit]
Bussers are not traditionally tipped directly in the United States, but restaurants may employ "tip pooling" or "tip sharing" arrangements, in which a portion of servers' tips are shared with other restaurant service staff.[18]
In the United States, tip sharing may be either voluntary, where waitstaff give a portion of their tips to coworkers as they see fit, or mandatory, where the employer sets a formula by which tips must be shared with coworkers such as bussers and bartenders.[18] Federal Department of Labor regulations do not allow restaurants to include managers in tip sharing, and inclusion of "back of the house" employees such as dishwashers and cooks has been the subject of legal disputes since 2009.[19][20] Recipients of tips in shared tip restaurants may be paid a "tip-credit wage", below the ordinary minimum wage in the United States, if the amount of shared tips in a pay period brings their average pay to the minimum wage.[18] Federal subminimum wage is set at $2.13 per hour, though state and local laws may require higher rates.[21] California, for example, requires tipped employees be paid full minimum wage.[22]
A spokesperson for restaurant operator Darden Restaurants, which incorporated tip-sharing in 2011 at their Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains, said that it was more consistent and fair "to recognize everyone who delivers a guest experience", and noted that the lower hourly base wage for bartenders and bussers offered "the opportunity to ultimately earn more", depending on a restaurant's volume of tips.[18]
Notable former bussers[edit]
- Alec Baldwin, American actor, producer, and comedian, was a busboy at Studio 54, a New York City disco.[3]
- Arthur Bremer, American failed assassin of George Wallace in 1972, and whose diary became the basis for the movie Taxi Driver, was demoted from busser to custodian at the Milwaukee Athletic Club when he was caught talking to himself.[23]
- Jacques Chirac, former President of France, worked as a busser and waiter in a Howard Johnson's restaurant while attending summer school at Harvard University.[24]
- Bradley Cooper, American actor and producer, worked as a busser at age 15, as a prep cook in college, and starred as a chef in the movie Burnt.[25]
- Robert Downey, Jr., American actor, worked as a busboy at a restaurant in New York City for three years, was "too sweaty" to work as a waiter.[26]
- Richard Feynman, American physicist, experimented with ways to optimize dish-stacking while working as a busboy during the summer growing up.[27][28]
- Redd Foxx, American comedian and actor, worked as a busser and dishwasher at a famous Harlem eatery called Jimmy's Chicken Shack.[29] He was friends with Malcolm X, who then worked there as a waiter, and who later described Foxx as "the funniest dishwasher on this earth".[30]
- Langston Hughes, American writer and poet, dubbed the "busboy poet" by journalists in 1925 after he left three of his poems beside the plate of famed poet Vachel Lindsay at the hotel where he worked, who then read the poems at a large poetry reading later that evening.[31]
- George Kirby, American comedian, singer, and actor, worked as a busser at Chicago's Club DeLisa for $13 per week, until his comedic impersonations earned him a trial on the club's stage, which launched his comedy career.[32][33]
- Jerry Lewis, American comedian and actor, worked as a busser at Brown's Hotel in the Catskills, where he would try to get laughs from diners.[34] When he later teamed up with Dean Martin to do live shows, a signature bit had Lewis playing an inept busboy, interrupting the suave Martin's singing numbers, an act revisited years later in a scene from their eighth movie, Scared Stiff.[34][35]
- Bree Olson, American pornographic actress, worked as a busser at age 15.[36][37]
- Al Pacino, American actor and director, worked as a busboy among a series of low-paying jobs to fund his acting studies.[38]
- Chris Rock, American comedian and actor, worked as a busser at a Red Lobster restaurant in Queens, New York; both Red Lobster and "a one-legged busboy" featured among his later jokes.[39][40][41]
- Jon Stewart, American comedian, writer, and host of The Daily Show worked as a busboy at a Mexican restaurant. Stewart named his production company Busboy Productions.[3]
- Oscar Tschirky, American maître d'hôtel of Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel who created the Waldorf salad, began his career as a busboy.[42]
In popular culture[edit]
- An early (1991) Seinfeld episode entitled "The Busboy" was centered on a busboy who was fired due to George Costanza's accidental actions.[3]

It's a shame really. The more and more I look at this thread, the clearer it becomes that she's more interested in partying than modeling. Or at least that's how it comes across...
Such a shame because I really thought we were about to see a Tallulah Morton moment after her great F/W 08.09 season. Here's hoping her little JPG/Galliano run at the end of Paris wasn't a fluke.

i think that, so far, throughout her career people like to put emphasis on the lifestyle that she lives to detract from the work she does as a model. most models party--she just happens to be friends with the cobrasnake who photographs everrry single moment they are together which gives the impression that she does nothing more with her time.
im not defending all of her actions, just saying she should be cut a little slack. |

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" -Hippocrates

The Food & Body Obsession Epidemic.
The importance about health is greatly underestimated. The misconception is that when you are young and healthy, nothing can stop you from having fun and neglecting your health, because you will always recover and be young forever.
That is a big lie we found out to late.
Alcohol abuse, smoke, drugs of all kinds, excessive consumption of caffeinated drinks plus junk foods are the recipe of all illnesses, add to this genetic factors.
It is not easy to change the course, because we have grown into a society who tells you what to do, or how to do it.
"Drink this, eat that, this is yummy, this is bigger, this is sweeter, this gives you more energy".
The food industry wants to sell, and they want you obsessed about food.
Food shows, food adds, food here, food there...
When you have a social impact of that kind, the rebel nature of man starts to react, but not only react but overreact.
Overreactions as an extreme diet, prohibition of certain foods, bulimia, anorexia, obsessions with the physical appearance.
None of this paths will be conducive of good health. Unfortunately, illness include diminished IQ in many cases, brain function is tightly related to our digestion system.
Our emotional well being is enormously compromised.
The solution is to make one conscious effort and change at a time, every shopping trip, until you convince yourself of the benefits of eating right, balanced diet, without stressing about it, or immediate big changes.
Because we most unlearn what the ads told us, what society says, we must unlearn feeling guilty or obsessed about foods & body.
Food is a necessary blessing, and a pleasure that must be appreciated as what keeps us alive.
I am happy to be alive, God made good foods for us to be alive and well.
A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it." Matthew 15:11

D-Mannose Healthy Urinary Tract.
Chronic Urinary Tract Infections have a negative impact in your urethra, bladder and kidney function, to prevent or cure UTI as soon as the symptoms appear
Symptoms include some or all of the following:
Pain in the bladder, pelvis, groin during urination, you may notice a foul smelling urine, cloudy urine, excessive urination a sense of not emptying the bladder, dark urine, spasms, stinging sensation, burning sensation, recurrent infection, Irritability, general fatigue and fever.
If you have a fever you must call physician, the supplements are intended to prevent and help in the treatment but in some cases the antibiotics are necessary until you achieve general well being.
In many cases when the bacteria has become resistant to the common antibiotics or you can simply prevent this uncomfortable illness you can start by taking D-Mannose supplements, many people have been able to control infections that allopathic antibiotics couldn't. The problem is that bacteria become resistant to some of the common antibiotics.
For treatment of UTIs: 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) for adults, ½ to 1 teaspoon for children, dissolved in a glass of water 7 to 9 times a day, for 5 days and 2 to 3 days after symptoms disappeared.
For prevention: take 1 tbsp daily in a glass of water. If you get D-Mannose capsules D-mannose for UTI - Urinary Tract Formula 120 Capsules 500mg
usually the bottle will have the dose.
Alkaline Ph by adding Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother to your daily diet is a great way to prevent UTIs. (2 tbsp. in an 8 oz. glass of water once a day)

This year, housing sales have had mixed results in Colorado's resort communities, but since March Telluride's market has remained relatively strong.

Real estate inventory falls in Eagle County
EAGLE COUNTY — The latest news out of the local real estate market continues to show slow improvement from the depths of the real estate bust. This time the news has to do with inventory and homes under contract.
At the top of the market — 2006 — there was a small gap — fewer than 250 units — between those numbers. In the depths of the bust, that gap was a chasm more than 1,600 units deep. That divide has recently been cut roughly in half, for the best spread since 2008.

Apple Seeds OS X 10.7.4 Build to Developers
Apple is rolling right along with the next release in a fast-moving cycle of developer builds. The latest is of OS X 10.7.4 - or "Build 11E52" - which has just been released for testing.
And there's really no immediate fireworks or curious tidbits to report.
Consistent with other recent builds, Apple isn't pointing to any known issues, however, developers are encouraged to dedicate the lion share of their attention to the areas of Graphics, iCal, Mail, Printing, and Time Machine.
For now, great progress is being made as work rapidly brings us closer to the launch of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, which is set to arrive in "late summer." The short-duration of time between releases speaks to how quickly Apple is working to prepare and finalize the whole enchilada.
Registered Mac devs can get the latest build for testing from Apple's Developer Center website now.

That has to be the most appetizing burger I have ever seen. I gave up all meat for Lent so that was brutal.
