Del Potro up 2 sets against Fed then disappears... Tsonga blows several match points against Djoker and gets breadsticked. What's up with that?
Delpo had a knee injury. You can see Fed playing a bit better towards the end of the 2nd set. And then at the start of the 3rd, when Delpo could still move, Fed started really aggressive and got the break. Tsonga choked on the 3rd match point. Had the ball from the FH passed the net he would have won already.
Mental mental mental! #150 in the world can trade forehands and backhands with Federer all day long, but it's a lot more than that.
Combination of skills, wills, weather conditions ... and who can best keep up the skills and wills at crunch time, I think.
/thread. The actual difference in talent, shots they can play and so on is quite small at the top level but in the end, as in all individual sports, it's what in the head that counts. Take a look at the way players like Sampras, Nadal, Fed, Djokovic save BP's and MP"s and it will tell you everything you need to know. Look at the way talented players like Gasquet wilt away after a lead and you will see the other side of the coin.
Simple, the winners are on good terms with the tennis gods. Cheers 3fees My Tennis, I feel like I'm the dutch boy plugging holes in the dike, fortunately I have ten fingers and ten toes to plug the leaks..
seconded overall the big 4 are simply fitter and more physically gifted and that helps them in the mental department for 5 setters. Knowing that you are simply going to remain faster is a huge advantage in a 5 set match especially at Roland Garros. Wimbledon less so. There a huge serve becomes more of an equalizer... that's partly how Tsonga ousted Fed last year. It's why Murray will be considered a disappointment if he never wins it. Being physically more versatile means you can save mental energy for key moments, which is key because they also have the shots to back it up.
Gasquet became weaker because of mild cocaine usage for a few years. He'll never get that back. Analyse his history and you will see he was mentally stronger before the regular recreational cocaine usage during his juniors and early professional career. Cocaine impairs the brains ability to cope with stressful situations. This is the key issue Gasquet faces in those critical moments and as the game progresses against his favor. Studies on people and lab animals provide the same results. We saw how Hingis wilted under stress of the WADA accusations. Abnormal given how she behaved and acted during the 1/3rd of her career.
That and...... The simple fact that there is simply a differece between a current Top 10 Player and a LEGEND. Its nothing about x's and o's......its just something that the smallest percent of players have....refusing to lose. I never, ever count out Novak.....I dont care what the score is.....he just has 'it'
The OP's question answers itself. They are the top players because they are hard to beat. If they were not hard to beat they wouldn't be top players.
This is usually true. Wasn't it the great Yogi Berra who said '90% of the game is half mental'? But recent studies about the modern game have yielded the following breakdown: 10% luck 20% skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name.
One of the most honest and surprisingly candid statements made to me by a pro player came from a guy ranked near your #150 threshold...he told me his "audition" as a sparring partner for Fed failed simply because he couldn't stay in a rally with the Maestro. I think a ranking # is too arbitrary but, if used, JMac's inflammatory "The 100th best male player in the world could beat Martina" contention would be about where the stroke quality factor kicks in.
I suspect that was all mental. He probably couldn't keep up with Federer because it got into his head that he was hitting against the greatest tennis player who ever lived. A lot of lower ranked players lose to the top guys even before they leave the locker room and step out onto the court because they don't mentally believe they could win going in.
The mental pressure of competition was not a factor...this was not a tour match, rather an "audition" practice session to see if he had the "goods" to simulate matchplay in a practice session. It's what Levine, Berrer et al pass to get called to Dubai or Basel for extended practice.
Yes, thank you. But....what song? And where is this Fort Minor of which you speak? Is that a person or a research institute? I was just relaying the results of a new study at the USTA High Performance Institute.

rakkle Review
I am in love with these sheets! They are super soft, thick, but not too thick and I love the color(I bought the Taupe)! I couldn't be happier and am buying another set in white. I washed them before I put on the bed and they washed and dried very nice. I have a pillow top mattress and a 4" memory foam pad on top and the sheets fit perfect. The price was excellent compared to other stores. I am very happy with this purchase!

Dear Thea,
My sales reps have a frustrating habit of pursuing existing customers for additional business without giving me a heads-up. I have told them repeatedly that I wish they would have checked with me first. Now we have an order and the customer doesn't have the credit line to support it. How can I convince them to come to me first? —Wishing in Wisconsin
Dear Wishing,
Ever hear the expression "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride?" Wishing isn't going to get it done. Neither will yelling, mocking (a personal favorite of mine), or tattling. If you are really going to effect change and get the sales reps' buy in, then you need to take a different approach.
In theory, it sounds so easy: Take existing customers and increase your sales to them. They are already buying from you, so it should be relatively easy to increase the volume of current purchases and/or add additional items. Unfortunately, it is not.
Credit people support sales growth while protecting the company's money. Sales reps are wired differently. So if you have been wishing to end your current frustrations, you need to switch to an approach that will work with that group.
When you deal with reps, think cookie, not stick (I know the phrase uses carrot, but let's face it, who really gets excited about a carrot?). Make it easy for them. Run a partial customer list for each rep. Throw into a spreadsheet all the rep's customers who fit one of these three categories:
- Existing customers with unused credit lines (because they've made little or no purchases or else sales has yet to sell them).
- Existing customers who purchase well under their credit availability (i.e., they buy, but could buy way more with no push back from me)
- Existing customers who have some play, but need some additional care.
Don't include the "stay away from this account" list.
That is like catnip to sales; they can't help themselves. You, by contrast, are
keeping it positive.
Give the list to your sales rep, then have a conversation about
it. "Hey Sales Dude," I might say, "I was thinking about how we could
capitalize on your efforts and thought this might be a tool that would help
Ask them if they have a list of customers they are targeting, chances are they will start rattling a list off while you are talking to them. Write the names down! If you wait for them to compose and send you one, it may never happen. I have gone on enough sales ride-a-longs to know they often lack the time to work with the credit department, even if their intentions are good.
Credit does not generate revenue, we exist in part to support sales. So up your game. Don't stand on the side wringing your hands.
Depending on how you are set up, consider regular one-on-one meetings with your sales reps. If that is logistically challenging, try crashing the sales meetings. They are awesome: You get a ton of information on what the focus is, if any special promotions are going on, insight into how they are going to market, and the like.
During the individual or group meetings you should seek (or grab) the opportunity to share trends in payments you are seeing, concerns, questions, etc. with the team. Sales folks are relationship people. They have to know and trust you. Pretty soon you will be a regular on the invite list. It isn't that sales doesn't value credit, they just don't think of it until they need it. Change that. Make them think of you as part of their team.
Don't get the idea that this is a free pass to sales. My question for sales is: "Don't you ever get tired of this dance? Then start asking for help with prequalifiying information. Tell your credit manager exactly what you need to be successful together. We don't mind doing the extra work if we know you are going to do something with it. Be realistic; if you're asking for $100k for a company, credit wouldn't give you 10 jelly beans, because you are setting everyone up to fail."
If you do this before making any overtures to the customer, you avoid embarrassing situations in which the customer wants to buy your stuff but it turns out that the customer can't get the expanded credit from the company to purchase the goods.
Not to mention the ugly scene with your credit department.

Good news - Depression: The Musical won't leave you feeling downtrodden! Subtitled "A Depressed Girl's Guide to Depression", this show, conceived, written by, starring (and lived by) Marianne Pillsbury, chronicles Pillsbury's periods of despondency and dejection, seemingly during a 10 or 15 year period of time. (Pillsbury states her age, I believe, as 38). The show opens on Pillsbury listening to tapes of herself singing as a little girl, while she now tries to compose a song, ostensibly for this very musical. We are then introduced to "the committee in Marianne's head", as well as various others in her life including her therapist, Joy (!), physician, sister, girlfriend, and the jazz musician who was the catalyst for lifting her out of her depression.
The twelve musical numbers are generally geared towards a rock/pop sensibility. Although the second number "The Great Depression of the New Millennium" was quite appealing, there seemed to be more musical variation within the second six songs of the dozen presented. "Happy Disbelief", "Bordering on Beautiful", and particularly "Is it Me", one of the only songs accompanied, for the most part, solely by piano (other instruments in the excellent band include bass, guitar and drums) were standouts. This number also allowed Pillsbury's voice to be heard, both literally and figuratively. It was the one number where, instead of a situation or character being presented, shown or explained , there was deeper insight into Pillsbury's plight. Essentially, the song asks, which came first? The depressed state or the conditions which created them? (No press packet was provided, so additional hearings of the music or perusal of the script was not possible for this review). Towards the show's end we learn that Pillsbury met a jazz musician, through a volunteer opportunity, who encouraged her to the point of lifting her out of her depression.
Pillsbury plays herself and may of the other people in her life. Three other performers, Hayley Bridgewater, Hillary Maloney, and Vanessa Theus take on the role of a kind of Greek chorus, providing commentary here and there and playing one or two roles throughout. Even though they are introduced as the "committee in Marianne's head", and were wonderful singers and movers, there didn't seem to be a specificity as to what aspects of Marianne they were there to represent.
While Depression doesn't, well, depress, it doesn't quite delve into or explore the nuances and underpinnings of (what the APA calls) this "mood disorder". It is a presentation of the different situations that have caused it (break-up, professional dissatisfaction, family, etc.) and the various methods used to try to resolve it (therapy, medication, relationships, etc.). Eventually, and suddenly, Marianne overcomes, or at least finds a way to live with, her depression. This resolve culminates in this very musical (the chronicling of which is a sub-plot throughout). A more probing examination would have provided me with a catharsis equal to the one seemingly experienced by Pillsbury.

Business levels for manufacturers and suppliers of primary plastics machinery (injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming equipment) posted another strong quarterly performance in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2013.
According to statistics compiled and reported by the Committee on Equipment Statistics (CES) of SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association, shipments of primary plastics equipment for reporting companies totaled an estimated $335.1 million in Q4.
This was the strongest quarterly total for all of 2013. The Q4 total represented a gain of three percent when compared with the impressive total from the third quarter (Q3) of 2013, and it was just slightly lower than the outstanding total from Q4 of 2012. For 2013 as a whole, the total value for primary plastics equipment shipments was up a solid eight percent when compared with the annual total from 2012.
The shipments value of injection molding machinery decreased five percent in Q4 when compared with the unusually large total from Q4 of 2012. The shipments value of single-screw extruders slipped 2 percent, but the value of shipments of twin-screw extruders spiked up 72 percent. The shipments value for blow molding machines jumped 91 percent in Q4. The shipments total for the volatile thermoforming equipment sector fell 34 percent in Q4 when compared with last year.
The CES also compiles data on the auxiliary equipment segment (robotics, temperature control, materials handling, etc.) of the plastics machinery industry. New bookings of auxiliary equipment for reporting companies totaled $101.3 million in Q4. This represented a one percent gain when compared with the robust total from Q3 of 2013. Precise year-ago comparisons for the auxiliary equipment data are not possible at the present time due to a significant change in the number of reporting companies for 2013. It can be reasonably concluded that the four year uptrend in this data continued, and the quarterly and annual totals for 2013 represent a solid gain when compared with the comparable totals from 2012.
The gain in the CES data on plastics machinery shipments compares favorably to the increases in the two major data series compiled by the US government that measure activity levels in the industrial machinery sector. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, business investment in industrial equipment rose by three percent (seasonally-adjusted, annualized rate) in Q4 when compared with Q4 of 2012. The other important machinery market indicator, compiled by the Census Bureau, showed that the total value of shipments of industrial machinery escalated 25 percent in Q4.
"When it is combined with the data reported by the federal government, the CES data indicates that the recovery in the plastics machinery sector was gaining momentum at the end of last year," according to Bill Wood, the plastics market economist who analyzes and reports on this market sector for the CES. "These strong gains notwithstanding, the trends indicate that the manufacturing sector is poised for further growth in the coming quarters. Harsh winter weather constrained the recovery at the beginning of 2014, but accelerating economic growth will return in the springtime. This will generate further gains in the plastics machinery data," said Wood.
The CES also conducts a quarterly survey of plastics machinery suppliers that asks about present market conditions and expectations for the future. The responses from the Q4 survey were little changed from the Q3 survey, and they reveal an upbeat attitude that is broad-based across the industry. When asked about expectations for future market conditions, 87 percent of the respondents expect conditions to stay the same or even improve in the coming quarter, and 95 percent expect them to hold steady or get better during the next 12 months.
North America and Mexico are still the regions where the strongest gains are expected, but expectations slipped a bit for Europe and Latin America. As for the major end-markets, the respondents expect that automotive, medical, and packaging will continue to be the strongest in terms of demand for plastics products and equipment. Expectations for the appliance and construction sectors were significantly improved.

Traffic is a simple game where the player has to guide cars, motorbikes and buses through busy London streets by changing the traffic lights from red to green. The objective in order to advance to the next level is to get a preset number of vehicles through the screen, although it does not matter which exit you direct them through. Cars continue to queue off the edges of the screen (with numbers next to them if there are queued cars beyond your vision) and if the queue reach more than five cars, it's game over. A warning sound is given when five cars are queued; you must hope there are not also queues on surrounding roads. Cars always stay on their side of the road, and collisions are not possible.Screenshots

Cerebral oxygenation responses during kangaroo care in low birth weight infants
© Begum et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2008

Kangaroo care (KC) has been widely using to improve the care of low birth weight infants. However, very little is known about cerebral hemodynamics responses in low birth weight infants during KC intervention. The objective of this study was to elucidate the response of cerebral hemodynamics during KC in low birth weight infants.
Near infrared spectroscopy measured regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2), heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR) measured by electrocardiogram, and percentages of oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by pulse oxymetry was monitored in 16 preterm infants (< 1600 g) in three sessions: before, during, and after KC. Using power spectral analysis, total power (TP), low-frequency (LF, 0.02–0.20 Hz) and high-frequency (HF, 0.20–0.50 Hz) bands, the ratio of LF/HF were calculated and normalized as %LF or %HF = LF or HF/TP × 100 (%).
Significant differences were not observed in the mean rSO2, HR, and SpO2 throughout sessions; however, the TP of these parameters was significantly decreased during KC and increased after KC (p < 0.001). The %LF of LrSO2 and RrSO2 was decreased during KC (p < 0.05) with decreased %HF in RrSO2 (p < 0.05). The %LF of HR was significantly increased during KC while %HF was decreased (p < 0.05). Mean and TP of RR was increased during KC (p < 0.01 respectively) with the increase of quiet sleep state (p < 0.05) and decreased after KC (p < 0.01). The %LF of RR was increased after KC (p < 0.05) with decreased %HF (p < 0.05); however, significant changes were not observed during KC.
KC intervention appears to have influence on cerebral hemodynamics as well as cardiorespiratory parameters. The results of rSO2 and HR might be associated with quiet sleep states. The results of this study may indicate the contribution of KC intervention to the activation of central nervous system and brain function. Further study is needed to determine the underlying physiology responsible for these differences.
Recently, skin – to – skin care, called kangaroo care (KC), has been widely practiced for preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). During kangaroo care, the mother holds a naked infant in a vertical position against the breasts so that the infant can achieve skin – to – skin contact. KC was first introduced in Bogotá, Columbia by Dr. Edgar Rey and Hector Martinez in 1978 as a way of compensation for the overcrowding of incubators in hospitals caring for preterm infants [1]. According to their report on KC, they have found improved outcomes in survival rates and health status. Now, KC is practiced not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries.
Many studies have been performed to evaluate the psychological and physiological responses during KC in preterm infants [2–4]. Positive psychological effects on mothers and mother – infant bonding are well recognized [5]; however, the physiological effects of KC are still inconclusive. Previously, it has been reported that KC improves thermal regulation [6–8], respiratory pattern and oxygen saturation [9, 10], reduces apnea and bradycardia [9, 11], accelerates weight gain [12], increases vagal tone responses [13], reduces activity level, and enhances the duration of quiet sleep [14, 15] in preterm infants. On the other hand, increases in body temperature have been found to be associated with an increased frequency of apnea and bradycardia [16] and an increased oxygen requirement during KC was found in intubated infants [17]. Most of these studies were performed on cardiorespiratory parameters rather than cerebral hemodynamics. Preterm infants are highly susceptible to develop various cerebral lesions like intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leucomalacia following cerebral hypoperfusion because of their immature brain [18]. Cerebral oxygenation is one of the important parameters in cerebral hemodynamics, has been widely used to monitor cerebral perfusion in infants with birth asphyxia or brain lesions like hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy [19–21]. The response of cerebral hemodynamics in accordance with sleep states was reported previously [22]; however, no study has yet been performed on the response of cerebral hemodynamics in preterm infants during KC intervention.
Spectral analysis of time series data using Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) has been widely utilized to study the autonomic nervous system [23–26]. In power spectral analysis, low – frequency region from 0.02 – 0.20 Hz is reflected sympathetic activities and high-frequency region from 0.2 – 2.0 Hz is reflected parasympathetic activities and total power, a index of total variance (the total area under the curve of power spectral density) and the ratio of LF/HF power reflects the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. Two studies have been reported on the heart rate variability (HRV) during KC using power spectral analysis [27, 28]; however, their results were not conclusive. Further, previous studies on cerebral hemodynamics using power spectral analysis have reported the position dependent responses in adult [29], however, no study have been performed on the spectral characteristics of cerebral hemodynamics during KC position in preterm infants.
In this study, we investigated cerebral hemodynamics in addition to cardiorespiratory parameters in preterm infants during KC intervention using power spectral analysis. Therefore, we investigated regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) as a parameter of cerebral hemodynamics, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and SpO2 in stable low birth weight infants during KC using power spectral analysis.

KC and data collection
KC intervention was performed for one hour. The temperature of the room ranged from 27 to 28°C and the humidity ranged from 60 to 70% during KC. Infants were observed carefully and monitored in three conditions: 30 minutes in the incubators (before KC), 1 hour of KC intervention (during KC), and 30 minutes in the incubator again after KC intervention. Mothers were seated on a reclining chair at a 60° angle, wearing a front opening blouse. The infants were placed naked except for a diaper directly onto the skin between the breasts and covered with a light blanket. Infants were fed 1 hour before KC. All infants were continuously monitored with electrocardiogram to determine HR, RR and with pulse oxymetry for percentages of oxygen saturation (SpO2). Regional cerebral oxygenation was measured with a near infrared spectroscopy, NIRS (INVOS 4100, Somanetics, Troy, MI), with the two probes positioned on the bilateral frontoparietal areas. Physiological data were recorded at 10 second intervals (averaged over 10 second period) through a Wave Archiving System (WAS-J: Agilent Technologies, Inc.) and further analyzed. Data from the first 30 minutes during KC were excluded from the analysis to minimize the effects of changes due to the adaptation process. The data for rSO2 were recorded from both the left and right hemispheres independently (LrSO2 and RrSO2, respectively).
Behavioral states of infants were recorded throughout the observation period using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavior Assessment Scale [30]. Behavioral states of infant were observed by nurses trained on the observational scale. Five different behavioral states were observed: 1) Quiet sleep; 2) Active sleep; 3) Drowsiness; 4) Alert inactivity; and 5) Active awake. Behavioral states were judged before KC, during KC, at the end of KC, and 30 minutes after KC. Body temperature was measured at the beginning of data recording before the KC session and after the end of KC. Informed consents were obtained from the parents and the study was approved by the ethical committee of the institute.
Power spectral analysis
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). A repeated measures ANOVA was performed to analyze the differences of parameters among three sessions. Conventional statistics: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variance (CV), range, normal distribution, and median were performed for all parameters. Data are expressed as median (range) or mean ± SD.

Power spectral analysis
At the day of KC, four infants had received theophylline. Infants who received theophylline showed the similar tendency to those without theophylline during KC and after KC.
Behavioral analysis
In this study, regional cerebral oxygenation using NIRS was measured during KC in addition to cardiorespiratory parameters in stable low birth weight infants and analyzed by using power spectral analysis. By conventional analysis, the CV of HR was decreased, and mean RR and body temperature were increased during KC as previously reported [7, 9, 14]; however, significant changes were not found in mean rSO2. By power spectral analysis, TP was decreased in rSO2; HR, and SpO2 during KC, whereas the TP of RR was increased. Further, the LF of rSO2 was found to be decreased during KC while the LF of HR was increased with decreased HF. This study has shown that the spectral characteristics of cerebral oxygenation are significantly different between during KC and before KC or after KC as well as HR, RR and SpO2; however, there were no significance differences in their mean values. The power spectral analysis was found as a more effective analytic approach for revealing the physiological responses compared to the conventional analysis.
In spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), low – frequencies (0.02 – 0.20 Hz) reflect sympathetic activities such as the baroreceptor reflex, high-frequencies (0.2 – 2.0 Hz) reflect parasympathetic activities such as vagal activity, and the ratio of LF/HF power reflects the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activities [23–26, 32]. Several studies have been published on autonomic function of HRV in preterm infants and only two studies had been previously reported on HRV during KC intervention using power spectral analysis up to now. One of them showed a decrease of LF and HF during KC [27], while the other showed an increase of LF during KC [28]. In our study, the LF of HR was increased during KC and the LF of rSO2 was decreased. In general, the increase in sympathetic activities and decrease in cerebral oxygen delivery with the head in an up-tilting position are assumed to be due to gravity causing pooling of blood and thereby activating baroreceptors as previously reported [29, 33], and the decrease of LF of rSO2 during KC with increased LF of HR described in this study might be supported previous studies. These results could be understood as activation of the central nervous system and brain function during KC position. Besides these, the increase in body temperature and respiration observed in our study may have an effect on the LF of HR as previously reported on HRV [28, 34]. Further, TP is the index of total variance in power spectral analysis and changes in TP during KC indicate the changes in total variance. In our study, TP of rSO2, HR, or SpO2 have been shown to decrease during KC. A possible explanation for these decreases during KC might be associated with reduced activity and increased quiet sleep state during KC as previously reported [35, 36]. These results could be interpreted as physiological stability elicited by KC intervention. Although the dominance of HF has been reported in HR during the quiet sleep state [37, 38], this was not observed during KC in a previous study [28] or in the current study. The position of the head of infants during KC might be responsible for the discrepancy between the left and right rSO2.
To our knowledge, the present study was the first study to analyze the response of rSO2 due to KC in LBW preterm infants through spectral characteristics. Therefore, it was difficult to compare the results of this study with other similar studies and apply to the clinical settings. Despite the sampling limitation, this reference data provide new understanding into the response of cerebral hemodynamics in preterm infants and should have significant implications to generalize the rSO2 responses with different modalities in LBW infants. Further studies are necessary to determine the clinical relevance of the present findings.
The results of this study revealed that changes of cerebral hemodynamics associated with KC position in preterm infants as well as cardiorespiratory parameters. These changes were especially apparent by power spectral analysis. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that KC may contribute to the activation of central nervous system and brain function. Further study is needed to determine the underlying physiology responsible for these differences.

You can't install a new type of drawer slide on an old cabinet drawer box. You will most likely need a new drawer box to match the new drawer slides. How to install ball-bearing-type drawer slides. 1: Remove drawer and slides. Pry the old drawer slides from the cabinet and from the bottom of the drawer. Installing side mount drawer slides into an existing cabinet is a bit of a challenge. Follow these steps to make the job a bit easier.
Installing cabinet drawers and getting them level and evenly spaces can be tricky. Full extension drawer slides let you open the drawer the complete length of the glide. I have some old cupboards I want to update. The ones I have now fit pretty tight and just have a piece of wood on the bottom that the drawer rests/slides on. What thickness wood are the sides made from? What is the space between the box side and the cabinet frame? For undermount guides, you need a specific depth recess for the correct installation. Tip: Replacing old slides with slides of the same configuration will make your work easier. If you plan to install slides on a drawer that stores heavy objects, or if the drawer is wide, you'll need slides with a high load rating. Rail disconnects feature a latch that enables you to raise the drawer off the slide to pull it away from the desk or cabinet it's housed in.
When old drawer slides become broken, sticky or non-functional, replace the drawer slides for a whole new look. Then remove glides from the inside of the cabinet using the same techniques. Align the glides properly for installation. It certainly makes drawer slide installation a whole lot easier and it doesn't cost a fortune which makes this a worthwhile investment!. If the drawer fronts lay over the outside of the cabinet, the slides will be located flush with the front edge of the cabinet. Make an Awesome Planter using an Old Chair.

It is a bright, sunny day over St. Louis, Missouri. Enormous cotton-candy clouds hang lazily in the brilliant blue sky. It's humid--and hot (about 90 degrees Farenheit), but there is a slight breeze that pushes the wind chimes. Good day for swimming. Or, if you're Ashley, it's a good day to stay inside and wait for the storm to pass.
There's no storm... yet. But there will be one, oh yes. And the hail and thunder and lightning might lead to funnel clouds which might turn into tornadoes which might, for once, touch down close to home. In that case she'll have to go to the basement and pray for her safety and wait even more. And so it is that Ashley stays home, afraid to go out if the weather forecast shows one drop of water in the near future. She does, after all, live in Tornado Alley.
The waiting used to be mildly amusing, if not eccentric. She'd go out, but look up at the sky nervously, as if she knew something we didn't. But today the call was tear-filled. "Please come over. There's a storm coming and I don't want to be alone." I come over because I don't know what else to do, but I note to myself that this has gotten out of hand. The Weather Channel isn't even predicting this one, yet. It can't rain all the time.
We sit down at the family computer and I quickly type in a few words, and point to the hits that come back. "Look, Ash. This is you," I say as I point to stormphobia and severe weather phobia. "See?" She starts to cry again, because she knows it's true and is almost as afraid of phobia as she is of tornadoes. But she doesn't know what to do about it. And neither do I.
Lilapsophobia is more than just a fear of tornadoes and hurricanes. It's staying up all night, terrified that the hail at the window is a precursor for the finger of God. Shaking, crying, breaking into a cold sweat when the wind howls. Hitting local news forecasts and weather.com the way a junkie hits her veins. Memorizing weather lore to recite like poetry or prayer or both. It's waiting for the storm outside that couldn't possibly match the severe weather in your mind.
Twenty minutes later: I've just come in from rolling up my car windows. It seems it's raining outside.

Davis Cup final: Croatia leads Argentina 1-0
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) In a battle of big servers, Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro beat Croatia's Ivo Karlovic 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3, 7-5 on Friday to leave the two teams tied at 1-1 following the opening singles matches in the Davis Cup final.
Del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion who is capping a comeback after two injury-hit years, made the crucial break in the 11th game of the fourth set with a spectacular return of Karlovic's serve.
Del Potro broke the Croat in the opening game of the match and then held on to his serve to take the opening set. In the second, the Argentine appeared poised to clinch the tie-break after having a double set point, but Karlovic saved both and then sent the home crowd into frenzy as he forced two successive errors from Del Potro.
Del Potro cruised through the third set to get back into control.
''After losing the second set, I was a bit frightened,'' Del Potro said. ''Ivo was playing real well, but I managed to regain composure.''
Karlovic, who at 37 became the oldest man to play singles in a Davis Cup final in nearly a century, served 35 aces while Del Potro had 15.
''After winning the second set, I was hoping to continue like this, but my level went down a bit and his level went higher,'' said Karlovic who returned to the team after a four-year absence.
Doubles are played Saturday while reverse singles are scheduled Sunday, with team captains refusing to reveal which pairs they will use.
Croatian team captain Zeljko Krajan said he was satisfied with the result after the opening singles.
''Overall today I have to say I'm satisfied,'' Krajan said. ''It was hard to believe that we could have two wins today. We remain positive and optimistic.''
Argentina is the only nation in the Davis Cup's 116-year history to have reached four finals without winning the title. Croatia is targeting its second title after beating Slovakia in the final in 2005.
Croatia won the opening singles rubber after Marin Cilic struggled past Argentina's Federico Delbonis 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 1-6, 6-2.
Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, looked like cruising to the expected easy victory until Delbonis broke the Croat twice in the third set, which ended on a Cilic double fault.
''I struggled on my return,'' said Cilic, the highest-ranked player in the final at 6th position. ''His (high) toss on his serve is a bit specific and it gave me problems.''
''I never said the match would be easy. After all, this is the final,'' Cilic said.
Delbonis started the fourth set 3-0 with a double break, and Cilic conceded the set on serve by netting an easy smash.
But after a bathroom beak, Cilic came back renewed and broke Delbonis to start the fifth set on the indoor hard court at Arena Zagreb. Cilic suddenly rediscovered his serving groove, and didn't give Delbonis a chance.
''I took a short break, talked to the coach,'' Cilic said. ''I was determined to start playing better.''
Cilic broke again in the seventh game, and served out after 3 1/2 hours, two hours longer than most expected.
Cilic served 17 aces in the match watched by some 12,000 fans, including thousands of Argentinians who outshouted the home supporters. Among them was former Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona.
''His serve was the key,'' Delbonis said. ''In the first two sets, he was serving unbelievably. When I started making some returns, things changed.''

Douglas County prosecutors have filed two charges against a 20-year-old Lawrence man accused of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.
Lawrence police arrested the man Thursday afternoon in the 1800 block of East 23rd Street in connection with an investigation that began June 2 based on a call from a parent, who alleged the man had inappropriate sexual relations with the girl May 21 in northeastern Lawrence.
Prosecutors charged the man Friday with aggravated indecent liberties with a child and with criminal sodomy with a child through fondling or touching, according to court records.
A judge Friday set his bond at $35,000 and scheduled his next court appearance for June 13. The man was also arrested on a warrant from the Kansas Department of Corrections. According to the KDOC, the suspect had been on parole since February after serving about one year in prison on several theft and burglary convictions in Douglas County.
The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.
