After giving hits like Lahore, high Rated Gabru, Patola, and Ban Ja Rani, Punjabi sensation Guru Randhawa is returned with yet one other song Ishare Tere. A whole lot to his enthusiast's delight, his a lot-expected track turned into launched on Wednesday. Sung, written and calm via Guru, the track features the singer falling for Dhvani Bhanushali, who has sung the along with Randhawa. The Punjabi pop sensation has completed it again by giving us an additional super hit music and has already clocked over 10 million views on his YouTube video in only 1 day.
Ishare Tere has been set in a nightclub and unfolds like each Bollywood meet-lovable. Within the tune, Dhvani walks into the party room together with her entourage and Randhawa catches a glimpse from the nook of his eyes. The subsequent factor you'll observe is both groovings with each different on the dance floor. Ishare Tere has to turn into a digital sensation and is already on Billboards. The video can be downloaded using a YouTube video converter online such as video-converter-mp4.com
Talking about Ishare Tere, Guru Randhawa observed, "Ishare Tere is my first song ever to be shot in the club. The constitution and tonality of this song are awfully diverse from my different songs. The video is shot beautifully and I am very excited for the music." speaking on the lyrics he outlined, "The music has a humorous banter between the male and feminine vocals who're flirting with each and every other too. Our Punjabi songs had these form of lyrics, I actually have simply tried to revive these. I hope the viewers like the tune."
Dhvani Bhanushali, who is excited about Ishare Tere, talked about, "it is a pretty good possibility for me to get a chance to work with such talented music artists so early in my career. After working with Tanishk Sir and Neha in Dilbar, doing a tune with Guru Randhawa is a big step. Ishare Tere is a peppy membership song and I am hoping every person offers it the identical love like they have got given to all Guru's songs."

What are the different views on who the two witnesses described in Revelation are?Revelation 11:3-12 discusses two important men involved in the end times known as the two witnesses. Who are they?
Since their coming is still future, there is some uncertainty regarding the identity of these two men. Three views are generally given. First, many suggest these two men will be Moses and Elijah. Moses was given the ability to turn water into blood at the first plague where he turned the Nile River red (Exodus 7:14-25). This same ability will belong to the two witnesses (Revelation 11:6). Elijah had the ability to pray and make the sky stop giving rain, just like the two witnesses (1 Kings 17—18; Revelation 11:6). Elijah also destroyed people with fire (2 Kings 1), and fire will come out of the witnesses' mouths and destroy their enemies (Revelation 11:5). In addition, both Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus at the Transfiguration, providing some precedence that they could return once again (Matthew 17:3-4).
A second view holds that these two witnesses will be Enoch and Elijah. The main reason for this view is that Enoch and Elijah are the only two men recorded in the Bible who were taken directly to heaven without dying. Enoch simply was "no more" and went to heaven (Genesis 5:23-24; Hebrews 11:5) while Elijah was taken to heaven with chariots of fire in the presence of his assistant Elisha (2 Kings 2:11). Since they have never experienced an earthly death, this view suggests these two men could return to die and experience resurrection in the future as the two witnesses.
A third view simply holds that the two witnesses will be two men in the future who have similar powers to Moses and Elijah. While it is possible the two witnesses could be Moses, Elijah, or Enoch, the text does not require this interpretation. God may again raise up men who have the power to turn water to blood and stop rain from falling. These signs will confirm to many that their work and teaching are from the Lord. As a result of their actions and resurrection, many Jews (and likely Gentiles as well) will believe in the Lord. After their resurrection and ascension, we are told, "And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven" (Revelation 11:13).
All of these activities are said to take place leading up to the midpoint of the seven-year Tribulation predicted in the Book of Revelation. It will be a time of great judgment during which a Jewish temple will be constructed, offerings will be made, and the Antichrist or future global ruler will desecrate the temple and declare himself to be a god. The work of these two witnesses will oppose this wicked leader and help point many to the true God during these final, difficult days.
What is going to happen in the end times?
What people are included in the 144,000?
Who is the Antichrist?
Is there an end times unholy trinity? Who is part of the unholy trinity?
When will the resurrection occur?

Our Second day up in Big Barn Country was a fabulous day when we weren't getting accosted by Louie the cat.
While heading out to Brent's house we drove by this farm and I just loved it, with it's big silos.
So imagine my excitement when I found out that this is where we were going the next day. I turns out Brent was good friends with this family and we spent a better part of the morning visiting the man that owned it.
We visited with the man about the farming history in the area, about the land prices, about spraying, about his egg production, and everything else you can imagine when it comes to farming.
Well not everything cause after we left Caleb had half a million more questions he wished he would have asked him.
I'm pretty sure this was Caleb's favorite part of the vacation.
This is one of two of the lay houses that this farmer had on this farm. They weren't in production anymore, and are used for storage instead, but when they were housing chickens they were home to 75,000 birds. Now that's a lot of chickens!
After dinner, we headed off to the arena where Brent has a one of his Cutting Horses in training, but not before replacing a shoe that miss Chica here had thrown.
As you can see she's not too thrilled about the whole situation.
She sure did give Brent a workout on this day. I'm gonna guess it took at least three times longer than it normally takes Brent to replace a shoe.
side note: Brent once made a comment on how many pictures I take of Caleb so in a chance to even it out I tons of pictures of him while we were visiting.
Since she was throwin' a little fit Caleb got the duty of keepin' her still.
Once that was done we loaded here up and headed down the road to the arena for a little work out.
Testin' the "brakes" to make sure they worked.
For the most part Caleb and I sat on the fence and watched. Well he watched and I took pictures.
I did however get to try some spinning on Chica, but I was a little awkward at my first attempt. One thing I did realize is that it's a good things I don't live any closer to Brent cause I'm pretty sure I could get hooked on workin' with cuttin' horses.
The horse on the far left was Brent's other horse that we came here to see and man was he a beauty! I wanted to load him up in the back of our truck and take him home, but he wouldn't fit, how sad!
After a long day in the sun at the arena we decided not to go riding again that evening cause it was in the 90's and evidently the warm weather followed us from Southeast Kansas. So instead Caleb came up with the idea of Bowling and a way we went to the local bowling ally / bar and grill.
And to show you how special we are, we had the entire bowling ally to our selves...
...maybe that shows how special the bowling ally was.
Haha, actually it was a nice little bowling ally and the food was to bad either.
Round One went to Caleb, and look I didn't come in last and neither did Kristin. So that only leaves one person which meant there had to be a rematch.
FYI: I put the names in for round one. The owner asked us to move to another lane for round two and Brent wrote the names in this time and this is what we ended up with....
Cleb = Caleb
Krisy = Kristin
Toad = Me - don't I have such a sweet cousin to give me a name like that...to be honest there is a lot of history with this name.
Bo = Brent
Round Two goes to Brent, unfortunately for me that meant I was last....it was the name that threw me off I just know it! ;)
Here's what the sky looked like when we left to go home. It didn't end up being much rain but it did bring the temperatures back down to the upper 70's unfortunately for Caleb and I we were leaving the next day.
I be getting the trip home pics up as soon as I can, as well a cooking post and a farm up-date.
So I had better go for now and get busy.
Later Tatters,

"Good Cop Bad Dog" is the twenty-second episode from Season 2 of Modern Family, it aired on May 11, 2011.
Plot Summary
Jay advises a dog trainer, while Phil and Claire switch parenting duties to the kids' chagrin. Mitchell has an extra Lady Gaga concert ticket when Cameron ends up getting sick.
Episode Description
Mitchell has a problem: Cameron is down with the flu and they have tickets to see Lady GaGa tonight. Unfortunately, Mitch tries a little psychology on Cameron to get his blessing to go to the concert while he stayed in bed.
Still, it could be worse. Mitch could be refereeing the fight Claire is right now between her kids...and Phil undermining her didn't help. Apparently, Luke and Manny barged into Alex and Haley's room while they were changing, and Luke offered to even it up by letting them see him in his underwear. Claire goes ballistic when everybody starts yelling again, threatening no TV or Internet, while Phil tries to distance himself from her (and thus undermining her even worse). And now it's Phil who is in her cross-hairs. Phil thinks the dynamic is good as is, allowing Claire to be the bad cop while Phil gets to be the loving dad. Naturally, that does not work for Claire, who demands Phil go yell at Alex and Haley for not cleaning their bathroom. But Phil wants to take Manny and Luke go-karting for their report card...well, at least the fact that Luke didn't lose his. But Claire decided to take Manny and Luke go-karting, which freaks them out. And Phil ordering the girls to clean the bathroom is even more freaky. Phil, wanting to blame it all on Claire but can't, is really hating the role reversal already. Of course, Claire loved standing behind him and reminding the girls they still loved them. But Phil's strategy worked and he let the girls go. Of course, checking to see if the girls actually cleaned the bathroom first before letting them go would have been a good idea. They simply shoved all the junk into a cabinet. Phil goes off the deep end, even leaping on Haley's car to stop them.
Jay meets someone at the kitchen table, Guillermo. Gloria brings people in once a month or so to help them out. Jay figured if she kept it under $100, it wouldn't ruin his golf game. However, Guillermo was looking for business advice. Actually, it was a sales pitch that wouldn't even get an infomercial. It was for a dog training system, which was a multibillion dollar industry...according to Guillermo. He might want to use it on his own dog, which was chewing up a pillow. The system had bland treats for when they acted up and good treats when they behaved themselves. Of course, Stella the dog preferred the bad doggie treats. Guillermo wants Jay to get in on the ground floor. Jay has to break the bad news to Guillermo. Jay tried to reassure Guillermo all he needed was a better idea, but neither Guillermo nor Gloria was having it. Gloria was ticked at Jay, even though she agreed the system was a bad idea.
Mitchell calls Claire for advice. Emboldened by her stance with Phil, she suggests going to the concert (or at least give her the tickets), because you can't guilt someone into doing things for you (like Cam carrying him around when he was sick). She suggests taking care of Cam and faking a breakdown right before the concert. She's into spreading the love around...such as nailing Luke and Manny into the wall at the go-kart track. That was bad enough, but insisting the boys eat cheeseburgers, onion rings, fries, and milkshakes might have been overdoing the fun aspects. Fortunately for Luke, that's what the empty cup is for.
Meanwhile, Phil has turned into quite the taskmaster, even duct-taping their laptops shut and ordering them to clean his bathroom, too. The hair Haley pulled out of the drain with a coat hanger grossed all of them out. As Luke was furious with Claire for making him eat all that food, and the girls hated taskmaster Phil, the experiment was over, and Claire was back to being the bad cop.
Mitchell did everything Claire suggested: making soup, rubbing Cam's feet, everything. It was time for the 'I love you, but I'm going to the concert' line. Only Cam fell asleep, but Mitchell whispered the whole line and took off. However, Cam caught him and wasn't happy. Mitch agreed it was a cop-out to go when Cam is always good at taking care of him. And Mitch stayed right there with him...except for the couple of hours he spent at the concert and still had the neon necklace to prove it.
Meanwhile, Gloria talked to Guillermo, who decided to go back to school and get his business degree. However, he had to get rid of the dog, which meant Gloria just HAD to keep it. Jay refused, but Manny got home and wanted to say goodbye to the dog...whom he just met. Jay takes him to the pound, but the puppy worked its magic on him and Manny has a new pet.

Myrtle Beach mayor travels to China to participate in forum
Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes will return on Wednesday from his second trip to China this year.
Rhodes traveled to Shanghai as a speaker at the third annual conference of World Cultural Forum in Shanghai. He said he was invited to speak about public diplomacy and developing Chinese and foreign relations, and that the conference sponsor picked up the cost of the trip.
Other invited guests include former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin and CNN's Fareed Zakaria.
In March, Rhodes went with Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday, to the Iagto Golf Tourism Convention to meet with golf travel agents and learn what Myrtle Beach can do to become more marketable to the Chinese golfer.

In Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey, every other waterfall seems to be named Buttermilk Falls. This is the Buttermilk Falls in the Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area in Sussex County, New Jersey.
Buttermilk Falls, at about 85 feet in height, is a rather tall waterfall, but it is also narrow. It is an extremely pretty setting, and one of its nice qualities is that it is very easy to view, since it is about 10 feet from the road. As part of the Delaware Water Gap, it is near other impressive waterfalls on the Pennsylvania side.
1) From Walpack Flatbrook Road (aka Sussex Co. Rd. 615), head toward Walpack Center.
2) Turn onto Tillman Rd. Go about 0.6 miles.
3) Turn right onto Mountain Road. You will pass a cemetery as you turn, and you will end up on a dirt road.
4) Go about 2.5 miles down the dirt road, and you will see the falls on the left.
Accessibility: 10/10 (roadside)

Sure, but then this interacts with my current push to get things published sooner rather than later. In particular, in an October time frame. I'd rather publish some things sooner than publish all three together, so I am open to this weakening, but regard it as unnecessary and undesirable. > My motivation for doing this was that in an HP internal reviews of > all three documents, the reviewer had minor issues with the other > two docs but had more major issues with RDF Mappping. > > Before advocacy one way or another, I will need to refresh my > memory: looking at both the most recent version of RDF Mapping, and > the HP internal review. > > If I remember correctly the heart of the criticism was that: > > a) The OWL 1.1 suite of docs, do not include an OWL Full semantics. > HP regard an OWL Full semantics as critical. > > b) In OWL 1.0, the tension between the OWL Full semantics and the > direct semantics is resolved in cleverly non-deterministic mapping > rules This is the first time I've heard this view.

Also, I think it helps users if there is a closer correspondence. In my experience with serializations in Swoop, having a nice mapping was important and have a predictable mapping was welcome. There was some comments on this on public-owl-dev recently. I would even support having a deterministic serialization to RDF/XML, as an option, specced by this group. Ideally, it would look very much like a stricter version of an XML serialization, with class axioms, property axioms, and facts grouped. Both Swoop and Protege4 have reasonably structured serializations. > d) In the HP reviewer's opinion the reduction in the non- > determinism severely impacted the ability to define an appropriate > OWL 1.1 Full semantics. > > In my view, if this criticism stands, then, it is a criticism of > the whole document, rather than of a few paragraps or sections. Doesn't this depend on whether the non-determinism can be recapture by, for example, adding optional parts to various productions? Then a non-deterministic mapping could be built as an extension of the deterministic one and if you want the deterministic one you just ignore all the optionals. > It also reflects a value judgement that OWL Full semantic > compatibility is more important than simplifying life for the > implementors of the mapping rules, even at the risk of being too > clever by half. > > Jeremy > > (carefully sketching a position that I might hold later, or some > anonymous HP reviewer might hold; without actually committing to it!)

The session will cover strategies for success, best practices, and an in-depth conversation on sustainability in the next decade.
Webinar participants will discover insider insights about the journeys of these three leading sustainable companies, as well as an exclusive look at how they made sustainability core to their corporate DNA and a critical mechanism to drive product innovation. Webinar participants will also hear the presenters' perspectives on the next decade of sustainability, gaining an understanding of the market direction and business climate.
Commenting on the companies to be featured in the webinar, moderator Tad Radzinski says, "They have each made lasting commitments to creating positive impacts on the world, our environment, and our communities while generating revenue, reimagining their brands, and emerging as leaders in the commercial sphere."

Bulletins of The Serving Library #4
Bulletins of The Serving Library #4 was produced under the auspices of the research program Dexter Bang Sinister. The program, devised by Angie Keefer, David Reinfurt & Stuart Bailey together with writer-critic-curator Lars Bang Larsen, was based on Lars's just-completed PhD dissertation at the University of Copenhagen, A History of Irritated Material: Psychedelic Concepts in Neo-Avantgarde Art. In practice, a large part of the so-called research played out in the form of an exhibition set up to explore the notion of *black & white psychedelia*— halfway closing the doors of perception in order to get a better view.
Bulletins by Dexter Bang Sinister, Rob Giampietro, Malcolm Mooney and Jan Verwoert, Lars Bang Larsen, Albert Angelo, Rhea Dall and Charlotte Johannesson, The Digital Theatre, Hollis Frampton, Diedrich Diederichsen, Mark Beasley, and Francis McKee.
Launches, December 21, 2012, 3.30pm, Charlottenborg, Copenhagen

The following plans are preliminary depictions and subject to continued improvement and change.
Community Plan
Although not a new concept, clustered development has been implemented in very few Colorado communities. This housing philosophy is driven by three main concepts:
Open space preservation – at least 40% contiguous natural landscape and habitat corridor preserved and protected in the community
Water sustainability - the highest level water recycling in the state
Economic footprint – lowest ratio of infrastructure maintenance to tax revenue in the county
Investment in the County – substantial economic stimulant
The plan below, although constantly being improved, is a depiction of clustered development at Independence.
The First Neighborhood Plan
This neighborhood will be in the southeast portion of the community. It is set back from Hilltop Road by over 200 feet. The architecture, design and landscaping will be subject to covenants, conditions and restrictions of an HOA to ensure it is consistent with its rural surroundings. This neighborhood will feature at least two parks and meandering public trails.

Rolling Die Productions & 3S Artspace present Patrick Marber's Closer
Rolling Die Productions & 3S Artspace present Patrick Marber's
Saturday, August 3
Doors 7pm / Show 8pm
$15 Members / $18 General Admission
Rolling Die Productions & 3S Artspace present the Patrick Marber play Closer.
Directed by Todd Hunter with lighting and set design by Quentin Stockwell.
This production of Closer is begins its tour with the Rochester Performing Arts Center with a run in April/May of 2019. To build on that, we're excited to announce the Closer tour is extending to Portsmouth here at 3S for two weekends in August! 3S Artspace, RPAC and Rolling Die Productions are thrilled to collaborate together to be able to offer Closer at two major art spaces in two cities, servicing a wider theater audience, and supporting a longer production life for this exceptional show.
Four lives intertwine over the course of four and a half years in this densely plotted, stinging look at modern love, sexual desire and betrayal. Dan, an obituary writer, meets Alice, a stripper, after an accident in the street. Eighteen months later, they are a couple, and Dan has written a novel inspired by Alice. While posing for his book jacket cover, Dan meets Anna, a photographer. He pursues her, but she rejects his advances despite their mutual attraction. Larry, a dermatologist, "meets" Dan in an internet chat room. Dan, obsessing over Anna, pretends to be her and has cybersex with Larry. They arrange to meet the next day at an aquarium. Larry arrives and so too, coincidentally, does the real Anna. This sets up a series of pass-the-lover scenes in which this quartet struggle to find intimacy but can't seem to get closer.
Winner of the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Play and the 1999 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play.
"'Closer' is a sad, savvy, often funny play that casts a steely, unblinking gaze at the world of relationships and lets you come to your own conclusions…'Closer' does not merely hold your attention; it burrows into you."
--NY Magazine
"A brilliant and bracingly adult new play from Londonbruising and beautiful, shatteringly funny and devastatingly sad. The play's dialogue has a raw emotionality rarely heard in art or life. It cuts like broken glassfull of bitter, intelligent, unvarnished truth." --Variety.
"A powerful, darkly funny play about the cosmic collision between the sun of love and the comet of desire." Newsweek Magazine. "In its cutting contemporary picture of sexual desire and emotional failure, 'Closer' is a brilliantly unusual virtual reality that rings true. The best new play on Broadway." --NY Observer.

cannot discover
Dear Jim,
believe it or not we have tried to write this message for, well, now almost a whole year. The reason is that we wanted to thank you for reading our novel 69 70, and for reading it the way you did: with an understanding and curiosity of a reader every writer would like to encounter. A lot has happened in the meantime – we left the US and are now living in Croatia where we started a retreat for writers (writers are welcome to stay at our place for free although we cannot at the moment cover the expenses for food and travel). Our web-site is, for now, only in Croatian www.zvonainari.hr
We wanted to let you know that beside Pablo, our publisher, you are the only reader of our novel that provided us with any (relevant) feedback – and we are grateful you have offered us the insight into your reading experience (an acknowledgment that most of the things we wanted to say actually came through).
Here in Croatia, many poets are feeling disappointed by the marginal position of their profession (or passion) in the society, especially since the support of the government is not abundant. Nevertheless, we personally believe that poetry can change the world for the better. A couple of weeks ago, we opened a small library too (free to all) here in Liznjan (a village of some 1500 people). Just across the library there is a resort of villas for sale to tourists. And people don't stop asking: coming from America to start a library in time of economic crisis – isn't that a bit insane? At the same time people are coming, borrowing and donating books, starting to discover a place where they can talk about books with no commercial pressure. So we finally got some time to thank properly.
We wish you and yours all best.
Natalija Grgorinić & Ognjen Rađen
PS: Sorry to be posting this on your blog but we were unable to get a hold of your email address.
I think many poets in America might mirror the frustrations of our Croatian counterparts, at least those of us who fall to the wayside of the American institution of sanctioned verse. But what I found really amazing about your book is the heights to which an unfettered pen (or pens, as the case may be) can really soar. I had intended to write a review of 69,70 and shop it around for publication. But, unfortunately, my own demons got in the way--I have little confidence in my ability to write either analytic or critical prose. That's all a self-induced illusion, though, so maybe today I'll take a look at the comments I forwarded to Pablo and give it another shot.
Anyways, thanks for the note. I don't think I've ever received a comment here or anywhere that meant more to me. And I would love to send a few books to your library. Its clear to me that efforts like your own really do make a difference, and I wish you all the best. Jim.
Dear Jim,
We would very much like to have your books in our library. We have updated our web-site and it now offers information in English too: http://zvonainari.hr/?q=node/7
In any case, thank you for your effort.
Natalija and Ognjen

Mary Kay Lip Protector Spf15Reviewing: Mary Kay Sun Essentials | Rating:
I have very dry lips and am constantly putting on lip products. I am also very sun sensitive because I'm fair skinned and have lupus. So I am finding that using Mary Kay's Lip Protector Sunscreen with SPF 15 works out very well for me.
The packaging is in the style of a 'chapstick' tube, but this is no chapstick. It fits very nicely into my purse and it's easy for me to stick in my pocket.
The product moisturizes my lips and protects them from UV rays with SPF 15. I'd really prefer it if they could make it with SPF 30, though. Using SPF on and around the mouth area not only prevents signs of aging, but protects from cancer. Many people don't realize that skin cancer around the mouth is pretty common because most people don't think to put SPF there.
This product has no detectable fragrance. It moisturizes very well without being greasy. I am very happy and will continue to use this product.

Sixth seeded Serena Williams is only one match away from a 14th Grand Slam title and if her semi final win over second seed Victoria Azarenka is any indication, the younger of the two Williams sisters is a woman on a mission... and she will not be denied! The former world number one and four time SW19 champion was ruthless and devilish in her 6-3, 7-6(6) defeat of Azarenka, in the first of the women's singles semi finals on Day Ten. Williams will square off against third seed Agnieszka Radwanska in Saturday's final. The Polish player was in equally brutal form in her semi final, beating eighth seed Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-3, 6-4.
Day Ten
Serena Williams' demolition job on Azarenka (she hit 45 winners to the Belarusian's 14), who herself was in fine form coming into the game, should warn Radwanska to expect the very best that the superbly fit and strong American can throw at her in the final. Indeed, such has been Williams' dominant performances at Wimbledon this season that apart from hiccups against 25th seed Jie Zheng (6(6)-7, 6-2, 9-7) in the third round and wildcard Yaroslava Shvedova (6-1, 2-6, 7-5) in the fourth round, she has been clinical, winning each game by simply overpowering her opponent. The fact she dropped a set in each of the two aforementioned games aside, Williams has demonstrated an ability to take her game to a whole new level when pushed and her straight sets win over defending champion and fourth seed Petra Kvitova and now Azarenka suggests she has yet more performance in the tank.
The match against Azarenka was notable for another reason - although yet again indicative of Williams' determination to capture her fifth Wimbledon crown - the sixth seed sent down a record (for women's tennis) 24 aces in the 96 minutes of Centre Court action. Incidentally, the record she broke was her own... and that was set only a couple of rounds earlier, when she served 23 against Zheng. What could be worse news for Radwanksa is that the American confessed to not being fully confident on her serve.
"I had absolutely no idea," Williams said, when informed of the record, "It really didn't feel like I hit 24 aces at all. I honestly felt like I hit maybe 10. Like I wasn't going for that much. I was just going to play well, to serve well, to do the best I could. I honestly didn't feel great on my serve today. I really didn't. I think yesterday I felt pretty good. I don't know. I thought my serve was off, and apparently, clearly, it wasn't, so maybe I should be off a little more."
Meanwhile, in the second game of the day, an equally inspired third seed crafted her way past Kerber in 70 minutes. The second semi final featured less emphasis on aces and winners (Radwanska had three and 20, respectively, to Kerber's two and 26) and more on consistency of serve and groundstrokes. Radwanska had 78 percent of her first serves in (winning 72 percent of the points) compared to Kerber's 56 percent and 79 percent. The German's second serve didn't fare much better either - she only won 41 percent of those points compared to Radwanska's 62 percent. The Polish woman was simply much better at everything she did - she won more points at the net, more points of her opponent's serve and, crucially committed fewer unforced errors (six to Kerber's 14).
The women's singles final should be an absorbing affair; pitting the power of Williams against the consistency of play the Polish professional has displayed all through the tournament. In fact, the latter dropped zero sets and only 16 games through her first four matches, compared to Williams' 39.
In other results on the day, the third round mixed doubles encounter between Colin Fleming (GBR) and Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE) and the fully local pair of Dominic Inglot (GBR) and Laura Robinson (GBR) ended badly for the latter pair, with a 6(3)-7, 6(3)-7 defeat. The final match of the day on Centre Court was another display of Serena Williams' stamina; she came out to partner sister Venus Williams in a ladies' doubles quarter final match, beating the tenth seeded pair of Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears of the USA, 6-1, 6-1. The other quarter final saw the Italian pair of Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone beat ninth seeded Spaniards Nuria Llagostera Vives and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, 6-2, 6(0)-7, 6-4. Also in action, among other doubles and mixed doubles matches, were second seeded men's doubles pair of Bob and Mike Bryan, who were stretched to five sets by compatriots Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ram in their quarter final; the Bryans eventually won 5-7, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
Day Eleven
The headline matches for the day are obviously the men's singles semi finals and the line-up is mouthwatering! Top seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic will defend his crown from arguably one of the greatest Wimbledon champions of all time - third seed Roger Federer. In the other match, the United Kingdom's biggest hope for a hometown champion since Tim Henman's run of four semi finals in five years (between 1998 and 2002), the Scot Andy Murray, will take on Frenchman and fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Much as Serena Williams in the women's half of the draw, Djokovic has been like a man on a mission. He has been supremely untroubled in his run to the semi final, unlike Federer, who has had to battle his way past Julien Benneteau of France and Xavier Malisse of Belgium in the third and fourth rounds after being stretched to five and four sets respectively. The Serbian top seed, Djokovic, has really only been troubled once so far this Wimbledon and that was in the third round against the Czech Republic's Radek Stepanek... even then, he dropped the first set 4-6 but came back to sweep the next three by the score of 6-2. Indeed, he has yet to even be taken to a tie-break so far or even be stretched beyond 6-4 in a single set.
Federer, meanwhile, has had a marginally more difficult time of things although he was equally imperious in his quarter final against Russia's Mikhail Youzhny, beating the 26th seed 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 (Djokovic beat 31st seed Florian Mayer of Germany 6-4, 6-1, 6-4). The Swiss master was breathtakingly unstoppable in the first and second round, scything his way past Albert Ramos of Spain and Fabio Fogrini of Italy in straight sets before Benneteau and Malisse bothered him a little. His handling of Youzhny suggests he is back to his best and a clash between the two finest players in the modern game should be cracking one... the only pity is this is not actually the final. Still, whosoever is victorious on Centre Court on Friday should feel the tournament is his to lose.
The second semi final will be, if it is not unfair on either Federer or Djokovic, more keenly followed than their match. Andy Murray has not been as clinical as either of the above two but he has faced sterner opposition than most would like. His opponents have included Cyprus' marathon man Marcos Baghdatis, the big-serving Ivo Karlovic, 16th seed Marin Cilic and seventh seed David Ferrer, all of whom have been dispatched with a tenacity and doggedness that should stand him in good stead for the game against Tsonga. Murray has been stretched on three occasions so far, being forced to four sets against Karlovic (7-5, 6(5)-7, 6-2, 7-6(4)), Baghdatis (7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1) and Ferrer (6(5)-7. 7-6(6), 6-4, 7-6(4)).
Fortunately for him, Tsonga has not had it particularly easy either. The fifth seed was also taken to four in his quarter final against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, winning 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-2. Earlier, Tsonga took out 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt in straight sets in the first round before dropping a set to Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the second round and then another to tenth seeded American Mardy Fish in the fourth. Incidentally, this is Tsonga's second consecutive semi final appearance and remains his best performance at Wimbledon to date.
Other Games
Also in action on the eleventh day will be women's doubles top seed Huber and Raymond, who will play their semi final on the No 1 Court against the Williams sisters. There is also men's doubles semi final action, with fifth seeds Robert Lindstedt (SWE) and Horia Tecau (ROU) facing tenth seeds Jurgen Melzer (AUT) and Philipp Petzschner (GER). That will be followed by Fleming and Hsieh resuming their mixed doubles campaign with a quarter final against third seeds Nenad Zimonjic (SRB) and Katarina Srebotnik (SLO). The Bryan brothers will play their men's doubles semi final on No 3 Court against Jonathan Murray (GBR) and Frederik Nielsen (DEN), while Italians Pennetta and Schiavone will battle sixth seed Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic for a place in the women's doubles final. Finally, Bob Bryan will return to the court to partner compatriot Huber, as the top seeds for the mixed double's face off against eight seeds Daniel Nestor (CAN) and Julia Goerges (GER) for a semi final berth.

You know, a sort of bucket list before I hit my middle ages.
(various sources)
Strike that. Saying 'middle ages' makes me think the dark ages would be the next era ...
AHEM. In exactly twenty days, I will be 28 and a half. Surely giving myself 18 months to complete a super awesome amazing list of 30 things to do would be enough time. What do you think?
So what should I put on this list? Any suggestions?
Be adventurous for me.

Saturday, September 3CDP Top 30 Of All-Time ('08-'10) - #28.
#28 - 'Free MySpace Poetry (Part 2).'
(Originally published 3/30/09.)
Are you a sensitive boy or girl on MySpace? Are you pining for that perfect piece of personal poetry or private prose that will perpetuate your pathetic pomposity? Do you want to appear emotional and deep, but just don't have the effort and creativity?
Look no further!
We here at the CDP have once again composed Free MySpace Poetry just for you! Simply choose the piece that best represents your suffering, lifeless and eternally tortured soul; then copy, paste and watch the friend requests roll in!
Example #1 - Four-Line Sonnet (ABCB)
It hurts so much to love you
Which leads me to inquire
Whenever we're in bed
Must you always set me on fire?
Example #2 - Haiku (5-7-5)
Heart is on my sleeve
For you to do as you wish
Example #3 - Limerick (AABBA)
I work at a self-service station
And I'll admit, it's a weak occupation
But I fill up for free, and the coffee's on me
During our Grand Opening celebration.
Example #4 - Rubaiyat (AABA)
You took off your clothes in front of me
And I saw everything I had been waiting to see
If I could ask just one question, I would say
Grandma, why are you doing this to me?
Example #5 - Cinquain (ABABB)
When I poked you on Facebook, you were one-of-a-kind
I knew you'd never bother me with meme's and apps
But now it's six months later, and there's something on my mind
Why do you always write me in all caps?
Example #6 - Terza rima (ABA BCB...)
Kiss me before this night is through
And I'll never forget it as long as I live
It's New Year's Eve, and I'm rockin' with you
Even though you have nothing left to give
Just wrap your arms around me, Dick Clark
Oh, that's right; forgot about your stroke. You forgive?
Example #7 - Ottava Rima (ABAB AB CC)
Tina Fey, you really have to stop calling me
For the good of my household and marriage
I fully understand your desire to make love to me
In the back of a horse-drawn carriage
But believe me; I'm telling you seriously
My wife will insist and disparage
She has Pampered Chef knives that are sharper than skin
And will see to it that you're never seen again.
Example #8 - Petrarchan Sonnet (A8BBA8 A8BBA8 C8DE C8DE)
Let's close down the bar together
We'll flip the chairs and strike the lights
Drunkenly stumble into the dead of night
And wander around forever.
Rain, snow, whatever the weather
Your breath is warm, your eyes are bright
Your body is keeping me warm tonight
Am I driving you home? Never.
I'm never going to let you go
I know your moves, you're not so keen
Nobody can conquer you but me.
Let's drop the quarter; here we go
I'm settling for nothing less than a Kill Screen
Because you're totally a Ms. Pac-Man machine.
Example #9 - Shakespearean Sonnet (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG)
This long-distance relationship has got to end
So I'm offering an ultimatum to you
Just admit to me that we're better off friends
Just look me in the eyes and tell me that we're through.
You knew that this would happen from the very start
Things just got out of hand way too fast
I stole your youth, and you stole my heart
And we need to leave it all in the past.
So kiss me once more, and I'll walk out that door
Face the music and put my hands over my head
Do exactly as I'm told, and drop to the floor
So the authorities don't shoot me dead.
Why didn't you tell me that you were eleven?
Why didn't you tell me that you were eleven?
Feel free to use as many of these as you want. I'll leave it up to you if you want to credit the CDP or not; I'm just here to help.
Friday, September 2CDP Top 30 Of All-Time ('08-'10) - #29.
#29 - 'Give Me All The Pomade You Have.'
(Originally published 3/31/10.)
It took me until about the age of 20 before I realized that you could get your hair cut at places that were stationed outside of a mall. As a man that didn't pay attention or care too much about the quality or well-being of his hairstyle, I had always just gone to the easiest, cheapest place.
For the better part of a decade, this destination was exclusively Cost Cutters.
Going to Cost Cutters deep into in your teen years feels similar to the last few Halloweens you celebrate before you start to become acutely aware of your age. You begin to take notice of the clientele around you; notice the relative age of the stylists versus the customers. Once the realization hits that maybe you should start frequenting a different barber (say, the Master Cuts by the Aqua Massage kiosk, perhaps), it feels akin to being naked in public. All you want to do is disappear.
I remember the last time I ever set foot in a Cost Cutters. I was alone, reading a magazine in the red-and-yellow waiting area (it always looked like a McDonalds in there), when a grown man came shuffling through the door. He looked to be in his mid-to-late 40's, wiry-thin with glasses and a ragged outfit on.
"Hello," he said to the pre-teen working the counter. "Is Sarah working today?"
"I'm sorry," she replied, "But Sarah has the day off."
"Good," the man muttered back, turning slowly to his left to reveal a massive bald spot that was seemingly gouged out of his scalp by accident. Presumably by Sarah. He took a seat next to me and exhaled deeply.
He was defeated. He didn't care. He was me in ten years.
Without making a scene, I gently set the Store Copy of People magazine on the table and hit the road. It had been a decent enough relationship, but at that moment, I knew that Cost Cutters and I were officially through.

#30 - 'The Hole To Hell.'
(Originally published 1/13/10.)
"Describe A Favorite Childhood Friend, And Some Things You Did With Him Or Her."
When I was a kid, it's safe to assume that my best friend was my cousin, Scott. We had one of those relationships where we read each others' mind; could crack each other up just by looking at each other. We made each other funnier; our ideas were better when we worked on them together. Our projects and aspirations legendary in our own minds. We spoke our own language; invented our own slang. Created a world that was isolated, yet contained pretty much everything that made me happy at the time.
I was never more creative than when I worked on something with Scott. We wrote songs. Acted out sketches. Recorded ourselves announcing baseball and football games. We would play basketball until it was pitch-black outside. It was always 100%, and it was never work or forced, because it was always fun as hell. We did this for over a decade until the rigors of impending adulthood forced us out of our cocoons and into the real world. I still miss it sometimes.
One of my earliest memories of myself and Scott was when we were small children, playing in my sandbox in the backyard of my first house. The sandbox in question was an old tractor tire that had been filled with no more than 18 inches of sand. It was on this day that me and Scott decided that we were going to dig our way to Hell. That's right; we were going to be the first humans in recorded history to actually dig a hole so deep that it would pop us straight through to the center of the Earth. A place where, as Catholics, we believed Hell was.
Digging was easy at first; we used an old Tupperware cup to do most of the dirty work. The trouble started once we reached the 18-inch line: we were now through the sand, digging into the soil of my backyard. The soil was black; our town had a ton of bedrock that more or less forced you to use dynamite if you wanted to put a basement in your home. The hole at this point couldn't have been more than two feet deep and 6 inches wide.
I stuck my hand inside of it to check the temperature.
"It's getting hot!" I shouted gleefully. "We're almost there!"
Scott's on the left, I'm on the right. Unfortunately, we never made it to Hell.

Hello everyone! I've had a lovely Sunday on this beautifully sunny day, which I spent at the allotment, reading my "How to Start a Business Book". (Always working!!) It made such a great change to be outside in the sunshine rather than cooped up inside.
So because my day has been so chilled out I thought instead of boring you all with the details I'd share some of my favourite photos that I've taken recently.
The warmer weather has me craving healthier foods, so this week we cooked a sort of cross between a Greek salad and a tuna nicoise... it was too hard to choose one but why should you have to? Greek Nicoise anyone?
