Has success spoiled Saratoga?
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - People start arriving at Saratoga Race Course as early as 7 a.m. to stake out a position where they will spend the afternoon. They may be content to spread out a blanket on a small patch of ground where they can't see a live horse and can barely see a television monitor. For much of the last week they had to endure oppressive heat and humidity. Saturday they will cope with even longer-than-usual lines at betting windows, concession stands, and rest rooms as nearly 60,000 people pack the track for the Travers Stakes.
It is an extraordinary phenomenon. This is, after all, an era when Thoroughbred racing's popularity has declined; many tracks depend on simulcasts to generate their business, so that live racing is almost an anachronism. But the public can't get enough of Saratoga, and visitors gladly put up with inconveniences and discomforts to be here.
The track produces attendance and betting figures that once would have been unimaginable. Wagering on the races this season has averaged $16.6 million per day - a figure that will smash the North American record set here last year.
However, Saratoga's boom has come at a price. The massive crowds have changed the character of the place, and some of the track's longtime loyalists will say that success has spoiled Saratoga.
For many decades, the appeal of Saratoga was its intimacy. When the racing fraternity gathered here in August, the charms of town and track were a well-kept secret. The crowds at Saratoga were small enough that horses were saddled under the elm trees in the paddock, where fans could stand within an arm's length of them.
But in the 1980's the outside world discovered Saratoga. Offtrack betting had given people in the region year-round exposure to the sport via television and they were hungry to see the real thing. Vacationers started flocking here, too. Barry Schwartz, chairman of the New York Racing Association, is also the CEO of Calvin Klein, and he said, "In my business we call certain stores 'destination resources.' Saratoga has become a destination spot in New York. Everybody planning a trip through the Adirondacks comes through here."
Why does Saratoga appeal so strongly to non-hardcore fans, while most other tracks can't entice newcomers at all? Its mystique has several components. Saratoga offers what is arguably the best day-to-day racing in the country, and even the most casual fans understand that they are seeing the sport's elite horses, stables, and jockeys. The brevity of the six-week season makes every day at Saratoga seem special - a contrast to the endless continuum of racing at most tracks. The track's location, alongside the grand, beautifully preserved old houses on Union Avenue, underscores the fact that the place is steeped in history, tradition, and class.
But perhaps the key element of Saratoga's boom is the simple fact that success breeds success. The American sporting public loves to be where a crowd is. Beautiful Belmont Park has no drawing power on days when a few thousand people are there, but everybody with a mild interest in racing wants to be amid 100,000 others for the Belmont Stakes. People love to be part of the bustling Saratoga scene, and the only ones put off by the crowds are those who remember how wonderful the place was in its tranquil past.
The Saratoga season was the central part of my gambling life for a quarter of a century, but by the 1990's I found that a day at the races here had become as much an ordeal as a joy. The 1994 season was abominable, plagued by rain scratches and small fields, and NYRA sometimes made fans wait 35 or 40 minutes between races. At the end of the season, I appeared on the in-house handicapping show and made this public declaration: "You won't see me here again for the rest of the millennium." I kept my word.
Returning here after eight years, however, some of my love for Saratoga has been rekindled. Since the '94 season prompted an overhaul of the track's management, Saratoga has offered consistently high-quality racing with fields of respectable size. The time between races is reasonable, and the track finally has begun to offer out-of-state simulcasts to entertain those of us who are not content playing nine races a day.
NYRA has coped as best as it can with the large crowds, turning almost every available inch of its grounds into a massive picnic area filled with television monitors and concession stands. "We've created an environment that's very fan-friendly," Schwartz said. "When you walk through the grandstand it's like being at a country fair."
A decade ago, I might have replied, snidely, that if I wanted a country-fair atmosphere I would go to a country fair, not a racetrack. But I am more tolerant of the carnival atmosphere here now. While Saratoga may be too hectic and crowded for comfort, racing fans have seen too much of the alternative. As attendance has dwindled at most American tracks, the atmosphere at them has become dispiriting. Belmont Park is a magnificent facility - superior in many ways to Saratoga - but with 5,000 people rattling around the cavernous grandstand on a weekday, it is spooky and depressing. A horseplayer can't help thinking that he's a relic playing a dying game. In Saratoga, where the track is packed every day and the whole community is preoccupied by racing, no such negative thoughts are possible.

Saar Gillai, senior vice president and chief operating officer of HP Cloud and General Manager of NFV, has spent his time at HP spearheading the company's portfolio and products, which offer enterprises the ability to build, operate, and deploy cloud services across multiple delivery models. Over the last few years, Gillai has played a pivotal role in building out HP's investment in cloud and OpenStack. Prior to his current role, Gillai was still in the HP family as vice president and general manager of Cloud Networking, where he oversaw development, marketing, and sales. Not one to have just a single title or duty, Gillai also served as chief technology officer for HP Networking.
His time at HP has seen him launch the implementation for software-defined networking (SDN) products like HP Virtual Application Networks, as well as the Advanced Technology Group, which has been the starting point for several networking products. Before joining HP, Gillai held various senior leadership positions at 3Com and Cisco, as well as a few startups. Today, Gillai takes time to answer a few of SDxCentral's questions regarding HP's network functions virtualization (NFV) strategy and Tuesday's announcement regarding its focus on carrier grade solutions.
SDxCentral: Can you describe HP's overall strategy in a nutshell?
Gillai: NFV is about CSPs creating agility while reducing opex and capex by moving networking functions from traditional and propriety monolithic hardware-centric architectures to open and agile architectures based on cloud technologies. With OpenNFV, our strategy is to provide CSPs with a reference architecture, NFV platform, and rich partner ecosystem to enable this transition. In addition, one of the key tenets of the OpenNFV architecture is that it's based on open standards and leverages open source technology projects (such as OpenStack). When you combine this with our OSS and service orchestration capabilities and broad hardware portfolio, you get a very compelling solution for CSPs looking to get going on NFV.
One of the benefits of this approach is the ability to enable other players to bring in new innovations. The HP OpenNFV partner program allows carriers to choose the HP and partner technologies they need for an end-to-end NFV solution. And with our HP OpenNFV Labs, we work with our partners to make sure that all the pieces work together, so the carriers don't have to.
It's clear with recent moves that you are leveraging your assets across cloud, OpenStack, and networking to bring NFV solutions together for carriers. How would you describe the core pillars that you are leveraging within HP to bring an NFV solution to the market?
HP has all the key ingredients for carriers to start their NFV transition journey — standard high-volume Ethernet switches, standard high-volume storage, industry-standard servers, as well as software.
Before we get into those specifics, perhaps one of the most critical things to understand now is the fact that CSPs are looking for OpenStack to play a role in the NFV platform. They want the same advantages the enterprise has experienced with open source. HP is well positioned to support this. As a leader in OpenStack and Cloud Foundry foundations and communities, HP has been a consistent leader in defining the next-generation computing platforms, and we are doing this again with HP Helion and the next-generation open source computing platform.
From an HP Networking viewpoint, we have standard high-volume Ethernet switches compliant to OpenFlow 1.3 that can come controlled by our HP standard SDN controller. We have our standard high-volume storage — 3PAR is well positioned in this space. HP also has industry standard servers featuring extended life cycle; NEBS Level-3 and ETSI certifications; and carrier-grade Linux OS support. All of these components provide the scalability and performance required in a CSP environment.
We also support some of the applications (ourselves or via partners), which were traditionally in telecom appliances that can be now implemented in virtual machines on top of the industry standard servers. This gives us the capability to cover the entire spectrum from the network hardware to the software applications to enable CSP deploying NFV.
And as orchestration is critical, the HP NFV director brings together HP capabilities in OSS and IT management to provide a comprehensive, multivendor NFV orchestration solution.
With today's announcement of your partnership with Wind River, it appears that your HP Helion OpenStack solution is now going carrier grade to help accelerate NFV deployments. Can you share a few thoughts around this?
To realize the full value of NFV, our customers want the benefits of cloud computing, while meeting rigorous reliability, performance and management requirements. And the HP Helion platform coupled with Wind River's carrier grade Linux and KVM [kernel-based virtual machine], will provide a fully integrated and supported cloud solution that brings a carrier grade platform that CSPs can put their trust in and build upon.
Check out TelecomTV's interview from the SDN & OpenFlow World Congress 2014
Along with Wind River, what other partnerships do you view as critical?
Our customers also want us to ensure that end-to-end, we can provide highly integrated hardware, Linux, virtualization software and the cloud technologies (OpenStack). At the hardware level, to meet customer needs, we aim to provide the highest performance with best software capabilities to leverage those hardware features. Partners like Intel, Brocade, and Mellanox provide great capabilities that have to be exposed using software layers to allow those features to be used by the VNFs.
NFV, for many, is still amorphous, and early service provider POCs looked a lot like they were just running applications in VMs and not much else. With ETSI now pushing hard on standard and reference architectures, what's your view on where the industry is? How baked is the NFV architecture?
The industry is at a point where the early skepticism and "prove it to me" attitude have largely subsided. This initial phase was necessary for the industry to develop a common language, and for the players to shake out the actual requirements necessary for support. The more recent ETSI PoCs (we are involved in six of the ETSI-accepted PoCs, working with SKT, Telenor and NTT), and many of the over 20 PoCs we are involved in around the world, are starting to address interoperability. Customers are evaluating a wide range of other applications, including security, customer CPE, content delivery network, deep packet inspection, routing, home subscriber server, among others. Many of the fundamental aspects of the architecture have been settled, but the details and specifics are still being worked out. The good thing is that unprecedented industry efforts are underway to resolve the outstanding issues in a "standard'' way, involving cooperation among users and suppliers in both the standards and the open source arena.
What are the other hard problems in the NFV rollout? And what is HP doing to help address those?
There are two parts to this – people/culture and technology.
While technology is the area people tend to focus on first, successful culture and process evolution is actually the most important factor to achieving success in NFV. Over the last 20+ years, CSPs have built very rigorous structures and processes in order to meet their business needs and SLAs within the limitations of the technology available. To gain the full benefits of NFV and stay competitive, much of this will need to evolve.
In IT, instead of having distinct groups managing storage, servers, and switches, carriers should look to remove hard delineations and create a more shared infrastructure team. On the network side, rather than having people solely dedicated to specific network functions, carriers should look to organize people into a network applications or service specialist team. In addition, a new set of skills will need to emerge in resource management and orchestration. As the service delivery model becomes more "cloudy," the necessary skills will need to become "cloudy" as well. From waterfall to continuous integration, from silos to cross functional teams, and services insertion from month to minutes. But none of this is easy, and it will take time. One of the ways we are helping CSPs with this challenge, is by leveraging our broad experience in working with companies on similar transitions to provide various workshops and services to support this.
On the technology part, beyond our carrier grade effort announced today, HP is also working diligently to bring together a well-integrated, highly-performing, and open standards based environment which will allow carriers to have the confidence of deploying and managing the VNFs in the newly deployed environment. We are also working very hard with our partners to ensure we have an open collaborative environment where we have the capability to allow our partners to integrate their offerings, and test out operational/manageability aspects of the VNFs. HP is also providing a one-stop shop to bring an integrated offering that the carriers can rely on to build next generation networks.
What's your services strategy? Do you see NFV rollouts being a large services play that integrates a combination of certified open-source components and carrier-proprietary elements? Will we ever get to a cookie-cutter rollout with minimal services and integration requirements?
There is a broad spectrum of NFV deployments, from simple virtualized single applications to complete geographically distributed data centers. Some will be simple with limited additional services and some will contain integration and deployment services. We also offer consulting and managed services for NFV.
We are actively building these solutions and the services skills and offers to go with them. One example is our "Data Center Care" offer, already available for enterprise cloud. This is well adapted to NFV support needs and we'll sell this service offer with HP OpenNFV directly and via partners. Another example is the HP NFV Transformation Experience Workshop. This is a predefined NFV consulting offer that we have already delivered to customers around the world to help them plan their NFV journey. A third example is our investment in OpenStack. On top of our investment in Helion OpenStack and complementary software, we are now actively building up our OpenStack professional services team.
So cookie-cutter will not very often be the case, but we intend to simplify NFV rollout for our customers with pre-integrated solutions and pre-packaged, well-defined services.
As we wrap up, can you recap for us what has you so excited about NFV and what exciting things you see for HP over the next 12 to 18 months?
This is a historic point in time for the industry. As I lead this team, there is no other place I'd rather be. CSPs have a significant and critical opportunity right now, and HP — with its technology, IT and networking expertise, partners, services, labs, and commitment to standards — is in a unique position to help them be successful.
We're experiencing considerable momentum in NFV with new partnerships such as the one we announced today with Wind River, over 20 proof of concept projects around the world, and HP OpenNFV Labs open and operational in every major region. We're very excited about our roadmap moving forward. Stay tuned… we have a lot more you'll be seeing soon.
Our interest is to make this journey to the cloud with NFV as efficient as possible for our customers — I won't say "easy," as there is work to do. But our job as partner to the CSP is to be flexible and remove the barriers on this NFV journey.

This is not "12 Steps to Mentoring a Man for Christ" or "The Blockhead's Guide to Discipleship." This is real life. It's the true story of a guy a lot like you and another guy nothing at all like you. It shows how real men can be friends with one another and get closer to Jesus. It isn't easy. It isn't a checklist. If you have a rigid system in place, you're doing it wrong. It's all about living life for others.

The volume of art competing for attention at Folk Fest, the folk art marketplace that opens its 22nd edition Friday night at North Atlanta Trade Center, is always large and loud.
Minnie Adkins' art speaks in more dulcet tones, yet never fails to command attention in the bustling expo center lined with row after row of booths that overflow with art boasting hypnotic patterns, rainbow hues and dense textures.
The Kentucky wood carver is a folk artist from another time, when the rural South was isolated and unplugged instead of high-speed connected.
Because she's 81 and already planning to show at the Kentuck Festival near Tuscaloosa, Ala., in October, Adkins is waiting until late to decide if she will greet longtime collectors and new friends at Folk Fest this weekend.
But her basswood carvings of all sorts of critters — including horses and foxes, possums and bears — will be well represented by her grandson Greg Adkins in his Gizzard Holler Folk Art booth, as well as by a scattering of other dealers.
Gizzard Holler is one of her evocative names for the 175 forested acres where she lives in Isonville, Ky., that overlooks the home place where she grew up. She now prefers an older name, Peaceful Valley, for the parcel where she whiled away many childhood hours observing animals.
When she was asked over the phone last week if she was indeed having a peaceful afternoon in Peaceful Valley, her response was as warm and slow as just-cooked grits being poured out of the pot.
"Oh, yeah, it's real peaceful out here," she said in her sing-song-y, adding-syllables-with-abandon way. "Some day I hope you get to come out and vis-it."
Why, sure!
Her father tilled that very land as a tobacco farmer. He was a man who plied many trades, all involving hard work with his hands: sawmill operator, coal miner and oil well driller.
As a little girl, she was captivated by the whittling that local menfolk did, so her dad gave her a pocketknife, and her hands have hardly stopped carving since.
In the early 1970s in Dayton, Ohio, where she and her first husband, Garland, had moved to find work, she began selling small works at Avon bottle shows.
"I had little (twig) roosters and I was a-sellin' em like for a dollar a piece, and now the cheapest one we have is $30," she recalled, clearly pleased about the inflation. "Didn't even know what folk art was back then. I had never been to museums or galleries or anything."
A decade later, back again in the Bluegrass State, she carried some pieces to a Morehead gallery at the encouragement of an art-teacher niece.
Adkins hadn't thought of her pocketknife-crafted works as art, but they quickly found favor with collectors, especially after she and Garland were included in the book "O, Appalachia: Artists of the Southern Mountains."
She tried to spread the attention to other self-taught Kentucky makers, hosting annual A Day in the Country Folk Art Fairs on her property starting in 1987, until the show and sale grew so big that it had to be moved to Morehead State University.
She has received a passel of local and state recognition for her art-making and folk art ambassadorship. But when she was to be given a Governor's Award in the Arts in 1998, just a couple of months after her husband of 46 years died, she didn't think she could turn up to accept it.
"I just sat down and cried," she recalled. "I said, 'I can't go get it because Garland's not here to go with me.' And Greg said, 'But Mamaw, you have to go get it because I'm here to go with you.' And that done something for me because he wanted to help me so bad, and he has been a great help to me."
Greg, a high school athletic director, chainsaws down the basswood logs that Minnie carves with her pocketknife. He also sells her work, and pieces by other Kentucky artists, at festivals and on a Gizzard Holler eBay site. (Maple roosters start at $30; basswood carvings range from $200 to $800.)
Fast-forward a decade and a half, and Minnie came full circle when she was asked several months back to create original works to be given to the next crop of Governor's Awards in the Arts winners.
She immediately agreed, telling the official who approached her that she considered it a "great honor" given how many top-flight Kentucky artists could have been tapped. Then he informed her that creating the 11 awards (she turned out nearly identical 10-inch-tall blue roosters) carried a nice commission, too.
"I wasn't expecting any money from it, and I got $5,500," she recounted, then repeated the amount, still amazed. "Five thousand, 500 dollars for makin' them roosters.
"I told him that day he picked up the roosters and he give me the check, I said, 'Now I can go to Wal-Mart!'"
She cracked up, recalling that line.
So did she indeed treat herself to something special?
"No, not really," she replied, all la-de-da again, "just a trip to the bank!"
Having outlived two husbands — her second, metal worker-turned-sculptor Herman Peters, died in 2008 after nearly nine years of marriage — she holds her work and family (one son, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren with a fifth on the way) dear.
She used to struggle and juggle to keep up with the demand for her carvings. But these days she doesn't take orders and tends to tackle one thing at a time.
"I just make what I feel like makin' as I can make it," she explained. "I'm 81 now, see, so I'm a gettin' there. The Lord has really blessed me to still be here and be in my right mind and able to do what I do."
And when she's doing what she does, what's going through her mind?
"Well, I just feel really at peace when I'm a' wood carvin' and I enjoy it so much. And when I finish a piece and it looks like I want it to look, why then, that's all that matters to me. I hope somebody else will feel the same about it, you know."

Many acoustic guitars will eventually have a brace come loose. The repair itself would be easy if not for having to address it through the sound hole and often using a mirror to see what is going on! As with most repairs that require re-gluing, the most important thing is that the joint is clean. Simple enough, but again, we are working in a space with very limited access.
So how do you know if you have a loose brace? Even looking inside the guitar, it may not be obvious. The give away is a rattling sound. If you notice this, you can often tap around the top and back and locate the loose brace.

lawyer because I used to argue a lot, so people advised me to study law.
However, I got admission to the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, to study
banking and finance. Later on, I crossed over to Olabisi Onabanjo
University, Ago Iwoye, where I studied transport and planning
remember that when I was growing up, I was a good dancer, and I also
mimicked people a lot and made them laugh. Then, people complained that I
was too playful, so I have always been a funny girl. I was an activist
in school and I was involved in student unionism. There was a day I had
an argument with another student, and shortly after that, I started
laughing. Seyi Ariyo (She Baby) saw me and she said I would make a good
actress because of the way I easily switched from anger to laughter. The
first production I featured in was a TV series titled, Karaole, which was sponsored by Iyabo Obasanjo.

TV. I am very passionate about acting and I make sure that whatever
movie I produce touches lives and people can learn from it. I consider
it as preaching the gospel in my own way with my movies.
acting, so combining my education with my movie career was quite
challenging. Because I was also running my business, I did not have any
social life. I encountered several other challenges like some production
managers running away after getting paid. Street urchins also harassed
us and during my last production, they beat us up for three days,
despite having collected a huge sum of money from us. Editors are also a
huge problem. In fact, they are more miserable than pirates. Most
times, they just abandon the jobs they are given or spend an
unnecessarily long time doing it.
negative things were said about me, but I am usually not bothered
anymore. In this particular case, I was with my pet dogs and I was
training them. One of them is very aggressive and their trainer advised
me that I should always command them in a stern voice. In that case, I
couldn't tell my dog to 'stop being jealous.' I had to say 'stop
jealous' to pass my message across. That video went viral but whenever I
post things about my career, I rarely get views. Anyway, I see it all
as publicity.
Even some people believed that Jesus Christ was arrogant and that's why
they set him up to be crucified. The people who are close to me know
that I am very humble. People who say I'm arrogant think so because they
are not my close friends. They have also been fed lies about me.
so I don't depend on what I make from acting. I'm into oil and gas, I
supply cement and I am also an interior decorator.
then so will it be. I really don't have any specification when it comes
to my ideal man; he could be tall or short. But he must be a
business-oriented man and has to be comfortable. I cannot be in a
relationship with someone that would be dependent on me.
Saidi Balogun, who acted the lead role in my movie, also chose to
celebrate his birthday on the same day I planned to premiere the movie.
At times, we need competition to survive. If there was no other event
that day, my premiere wouldn't have been known all over the world.

They were all happy with me. But what you need to understand is that we
all have different facial expressions, and there was no malice in the
way she looked at me that day. She is neither angry with me nor does she
have anything against me. The Alaafin has many wives and those two he
came with are my best friends; that's why they accompanied him to my
movie premiere. If they don't like me, they wouldn't have done so. They
even performed at the premiere when they sang Alaafin's praise.
good, you will always be the center of attraction at everywhere you walk
into. You may not even be beautiful, but if you dress well, people
would admire you. My favourite fashion items are gold chains and wrist
watches. I can wear something sexy but I can never go nude or expose my
body unnecessarily.

Singapore's Heli-Lift Facelift
December 01, 2016 • Leave a Comment

Singapore is moving ahead with its medium and heavy lift helicopter renewal programs with the award of contracts to Airbus Helicopters and Boeing for the H225M and CH-47F respectively. The number of airframes and value of the contracts — announced on November 7 — were not publicised.
The favourite in the medium-lift competition, the H225M was running against the Leonardo-Finmeccanica AW101 but a decision on the H225M deal was delayed after the crash of a civilian Super Puma off the coast of Norway. The H225M will replace about two dozen Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)'s AS332M/M1 Super Pumas which were introduced from 1983 and are currently in service with 125 and 126 Squadrons at Sembawang Air Base, as well as the Oakey Army Aviation Centre detachment in Queensland, Australia.
Singapore operates 16 CH-47D/SD Chinooks, the first of which were delivered in 1996. Six of the CH-47Ds are based with the Peace Prairie detachment in Texas, training alongside the Texas Army National Guard's 149th Aviation Regiment. Delivered between 1998 to 2003, the remaining 10 improved CH-47SDs are in service with 127 Squadron at Sembawang. The improved SD features upgraded avionics and engines, though both RSAF versions are equipped with larger fuselage-flank fuel tanks. It is expected that the CH-47Fs to be acquired will replace the older Texas-based CH-47Ds. However, with the establishment of a Chinook training flight in Oakey by the end of 2017, the future of the Peace Prairie detachment and the basing plans for the Fs are uncertain.
Having undergone the MLU program, CH-47SD 88192 was one of four deployed at Warrior's Camp in Rockhampton, Queensland in Australia to support the Singapore Armed Forces' unilateral exercise at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area from 15 Sep to 7 Nov. © Roy Choo
Running concurrently with the CH-47F acquisition, the locally-based CH-47SDs are also undergoing a mid-life upgrade program. A joint project among the RSAF, the Defence Science and Technology Agency as well as local company Singapore Technologies Aerospace, modifications include an avionics upgrade, a SATCOM dome and an integrated self-protection suite with chaff and flare dispensers. Developmental trials were recently completed by the RSAF's Flight Test Centre and the upgrade is being progressively rolled out across the fleet.

US OPEN LIVE: Robson v Lino and Evans v Nishikori: Follow all the action as it happened from Flushing Meadows
Follow Sportsmail's coverage as the final grand slam of the year, the US Open, gets underway in New York.
Andy Murray will not start the defence of his title until Wednesday but two Brits are in action first up on the opening day as Laura Robson faces Lourdes Dominguez Lino and qualifier Dan Evans takes on Kei Nishikori.
Sportsmail's tennis correspondent Mike Dickson will be providing insight from Flushing Meadows and you can get in touch also by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter
6:15pm: What a start for the Brits in New York. It's the biggest victory of Evans' career and will see him move up the rankings from his present position of No 179. The 23-year-old from Solihull will play Albert Ramos or Bernard Tomic in the second round - the former is currently two sets to one up.
Thanks for joining us. We'll be back for more live coverage of Andy Murray's opening match against Michael Llodra, as well as all the latest reports and reaction from Flushing Meadows throughout the tournament.
6:06pm: Evans quickly gets to 0-30 and Nishikori nets to give the Brit three match points... and he has done it! Nishikori double faults and Evans wins his first ever grand slam main draw match in just under two hours. Wow! Evans 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 Nishikori
Brit special: Evans beat Nishikori to claim his first ever Grand Slam victory
6:02pm: Nishikori threatens with a stunning backhand slice at full stretch and Evans can only net to go break point down. The Japanese hits long and Evans holds with an ace. One game away... Evans 6-4, 6-4, 5-2* Nishikori
5:58pm: Nishikori holds to stay in touch at 2-4 down in the third set. Evans 6-4, 6-4, *4-2 Nishikori
Mike Dickson is courtside for what could be a famous British victory:
Cool head required for massive win. They are seven deep in the standing areas around Court 13. Japanese fans (politely) chanting.
5:54pm: Evans showing no signs of faltering here as he holds to move 4-1 ahead. Two games away from the biggest victory of his career. This after his Dad revealed to Sportsmail last week that he nearly quit the sport in April. Evans 6-4, 6-4, 4-1* Nishikori
Support: There is a large contingent of Japanese fans supporting Nishikori on Court 13
5:50pm: The Brits are taking over at Flushing Meadows as Calvin Harris blasts out in the background. Nishikori finally gets his groove on and holds despite being taken to deuce by the on-form Brit. Evans 6-4, 6-4, *3-1 Nishikori
5:47pm: Evans comfortably holds as Nishikori loses his tenth straight point. 3-0 up but remember it's only one break. Evans 6-4, 6-4, 3-0* Nishikori
5:44pm: I'm reluctant to type this in case I jinx it... but Evans is cruising here as he breaks to love to move 2-0 ahead. Move over Jose Mourinho, Dan Evans will be the main man on the back pages tomorrow... Evans 6-4, 6-4, *2-0 Nishikori
On the ball: Evans is two sets up against Nishikori
5:42pm: Now that Robson is through, we can fully turn our attention to the shock which is brewing on Court 13 with Evans two sets up against the No 11 seed Nishikori. And the Brit continues the momentum as he saves three break points before holding in the first game of the third set. Evans 6-4, 6-4, 1-0* Nishikori
Evans hit a stunning volley on his way to the hold which impressed Mike Dickson:
The way Evans hit that backhand volley was Tim Henman at his best. Similar styles.
5:38pm: Robson, who has fourth round points to defend from last year, will take on fellow promising 19-year-old Caroline Garcia or Shelby Rogers in the second round. Although the Brit made a scrappy start, there were crucially no signs of any issues with her right wrist.
5:34pm: Two match points for Robson... the Brit nets a return on the first but puts away the forehand at the net on the second to move into the second round. Good performance from Robson towards the end after a tricky opening set. Robson 7-5, 6-0 Dominguez Lino
Job done: Robson thanks the crowd after beating Lino in straight sets
5:31pm: I'm almost lost for words... Robson holds comfortably to go 5-0 up in the second set AND Evans breaks Nishikori for the set again as the Brit moves two sets up on Court 13. Great stuff from Evans who needs one more set for a famous victory. Robson 7-5, 5-0* Dominguez Lino
5:24pm: Another break for Robson as Lino hits long and the British teenager is now just two games away from a place in the second round. The Spaniard looks lost out here and Robson has shook off the earlier signs of rust. Meanwhile, @jazzwerewolf asks on Twitter if victories for Robson and Evans would equate to more British wins than on the first day of Wimbledon. The answer is yes as there was just one British win out of six at the All England Club on the opening day. Robson 7-5, *4-0 Dominguez Lino
5:21pm: BIG hold from Robson who serves three break points before moving 3-0 ahead against Lino. Evans a set up and 4-3 on serve in the second against Nishikori. Robson 7-5, 3-0* Dominguez Lino
5:14pm: Lino's serve is there to be hit as the Spaniard continues to roll them in and Robson breaks with a fantastic forehand return right into the corner. Robson 7-5, *2-0 Dominguez Lino
More from Mike Dickson who is hard at work at Flushing Meadows as he tries to keep up with the two Brits in action:
Evans' newly improved backhand getting a workout but he's equal to it. Showing his talent as he holds for 3-2. Big match for Laura Robson with lots of points to defend, her armoury way superior to Lino.
5:11pm: Crucial that Robson keeps the momentum going at the start of the second set and she does so with a hold. Robson 7-5, 1-0* Dominguez Lino
Firing forehand: Robson is a set up against Lino
5:07pm: Meanwhile, Evans and Nishikori exchange breaks at the start of the first set before the Brit moves 2-1 ahead. Elsewhere around the grounds, Carla Suarez Navarro picks up the first victory of the championships with a 6-0 6-0 double bagel win in 57 minutes over Lauren Davis. No 3 seed Agnieszka Radwanska has made a comfortable start on Arthur Ashe - Flushing Meadows' Centre Court - as the Pole took the first set 6-1 agains Silvia Soler-Espinosa.
5:05pm: Deuce on the Lino serve and the Spaniard puts a drop shot wide to give Robson a set point... and after a long point, the Brit goes for a bit too much and puts the backhand wide. Back to deuce and if I am seeing right, Lino's second serve registered 65mph on the speedometer. The Brit takes advantage and earns another second set point but Lino puts the smash away to save it. THIRD set point for Robson with a stunning backhand return and this time she takes it as Lino puts a backhand slice long. Evans and now Robson both a set up... fly the flag! Robson *7-5 Dominguez Lino
4:56pm: More nervy moments on serve for Robson but she saves three break points and holds for 6-5. Meanwhile, breaking news from the press conference room at Flushing Meadows where 33-year-old American James Blake, a former World No 4 is in tears after announcing he will retire following the US Open. Blake plays big-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic in the first round. Robson 6-5* Dominguez Lino
4:50pm: You'll not be surprised to read that Lino has been broken AGAIN when serving for the set. Mike Dickson sums it up well: 'I've seen lawn bowls delivered quicker.' But a shock is brewing on Court 13 where Evans breaks Nishikori to take the first set 6-4, hitting a stunning deep return. I've fallen off my chair here in excitement... Robson *5-5 Dominguez Lino
4:46pm: Fourth double fault from Robson on game point at 40-30 and Lino takes full advantage by breaking as Robson puts a forehand long. But great news from Court 13 where Evans breaks back for 4-4. Despite a rankings gap of 167 places, the Brit does not look out of place and holds for 5-4. Robson 4-5* Dominguez Lino
Struggle: Robson has found it tough going in the early stages against Lino
4:40pm: Robson having to work extremely hard here by her experienced 32-year-old opponent who holds. Not ideal ahead of a match like this that the Brit had little match action since Wimbledon.
Robson *4-4 Dominguez Lino
4:36pm: Better from Robson as she fires down an ace to move 4-3 up on serve. Lino is a tricky opponent who likes to vary her shots, looping high balls, using slice and the occasional drop shot. If she can remain steady, Robson 4-3* Dominguez Lino
4:33pm: This match is not exactly high quality and Robson earns two break points on Lino's serve at 15-40. The Brit puts a return long on the first one but is gifted the break as Lino double faults.
Robson *3-3 Dominguez Lino
4:30pm: Mike Dickson is courtside watching Robson on Court 17.
On court 17 reminiscent of the Bullring at Roland Garros, Robson's issue seems more lack of matchplay than her right wrist. A bounty of unforced errors and double fault see her go 2-3 down.
4:28pm: After such a good start, Robson has lost her momentum as the Brits puts a simple forehand long at deuce and then double faults on break point to lose her third game in a row. Evans had three break points to level against Nishikori but fails to take them and the Japanese leads 3-2. Robson 2-3* Dominguez Lino
Gloomy: The scene on Court 17 as Robson faces Lino
4:23pm: Robson has the chance to break back at 30-40 but puts a forehand return long and Dominguez Lino holds to draw level. Robson *2-2 Dominguez Lino
4:20pm: Tennis veterans will tell you that it's never a break until you hold and that proves to be the case as Robson is broken to love with a poor game on serve. Unfortunate news also from Court 13 where Nishikori has got the early break to go up 2-1 on Evans. Robson 2-1* Dominguez Lino
4:16pm: Dominguez Lino throws in a double fault at 30-30, giving Robson the chance to break and the Brit does not hang about, coming forward and taking control of the point before putting away the forehand. Strong stuff in the early stages from the Brit. Robson *2-0 Dominguez Lino
4:12pm: Solid start from Robson as she shows no sign of nerves and holds comfortably in the opening game against Lino. Robson 1-0* Dominguez Lino
Arriving: The crowds flock through the gates ahead of the start of the US Open at Flushing Meadows
4:10pm: Great effort from Dan Evans to qualify in New York but the 23-year-old world No 179 faces a tough first round match against Japanese No 11 seed Kei Nishikori on Court 17.
4:05pm: Laura Robson may be the first British player to be seeded at a Grand Slam since Jo Durie at the 1987 Australian Open but the No 30 seed is only just returning from injury after problems with her right wrist. The 19-year-old has played just two matches since Wimbledon and has a losing 0-2 head-to-head record with opponent Lourdes Dominguez Lino, the Spanish world No 52.
4pm: Sportsmail's Mike Dickson is in New York ready for a frantic start to the tournament with two Brits on different courts simultaneously.
Quite breezy and unexpectedly cool conditions in New York, for the moment at least. About 150 Japanese fans have already secured their places around Court 13.
Before plays gets underway, check out Mike's preview of the final grand slam of the year here.
3:55pm: It seems like only yesterday that Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at Wimbledon. But that's all in the past as the US Open gets underway at Flushing Meadows today. And it's a double bill for British tennis fans as Laura Robson and Dan Evans are on court first up.

The Indian Action Committee (IAC) has noted media reports of alleged racial utterances purportedly attributed to the President's Press Officer.
The body in a statement noted that the uneasiness, such alleged comments can precipitate and the negative impact it can have on the fragile fabric of social harmony, the IAC reiterates it's another reason for the urgent establishment of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC).
The IAC, while welcoming the investigation reportedly launched into the incident, is gravely concerned given what is in the public domain. It, therefore, urges that the investigation be conducted thoroughly, unhindered, swiftly and its findings made public soonest for such incidents can have national ramifications especially given its reported source, the statement noted.
The IAC wishes to unequivocally state its condemnation of anyone who resorts to the use of racial slurs and racial bashing in reference to and during engagements with others. In addition, these alleged utterances unnecessarily bring to bear humiliation on those targeted.
Such actions have no place in society and have over time proven its potential in the sowing discord. The IAC calls on all organizations to ensure its members, agents or representatives do not indulge in such actions and should be expelled if found responsible, the statement added.
The IAC believes that mixed messages are being sent through the alleged transgression by someone with direct access to the Head of State who established the Ministry of Social Cohesion with its mandate an administrative priority.
The IAC takes this opportunity to remind that all, especially those who hold public offices, have a national responsibility not to engage in any activity or place comments in the public domain that threatens peace and harmony.

It's exciting to discover a new writer – that is, a writer new to one's own literary awareness. Recently, I pulled Salvage, a 2002 book of poems by St. John's writer Michael Crummey off a shelf at Greater Victoria Public Library, read a few lines, and was hooked.
I read for insights and the deft use of language. A good writer like Crummey offers both. His poems lope along comfortably, offering clear observations of our internal and external worlds, but often take a turn that makes the reader sit up and remark: now how did he do that? Where did that come from?
In the opening of the poem His Century, for example, Crummey sets a scene of a man awoken in the night by his shaking bed,
"…the lamp
rocking on the nightstand,
the house quivering
in the wake of a passing train.
There is no train."
Such subtle skill. A scene. A pause. Then the turnaround: there is no train. Now the reader is paying attention.
Crummey has written a number of novels as well as poetry; his new novel Galore is earning admiring reviews. Perhaps you "discovered" him before I did but if not – do look up his work. Enjoy.
Oh yes, and Happy New Year.

Ball Python Sick?
My wife picked up a baby ball python about 4 weeks ago at a pet shop. It was an impulse buy as I have specific shops I only work with. This was just a local mom and pop shop that doesn't know anything about pythons. As soon as she got it home I noticed it was very small and the skin looks loose like after a normal Bp eats in the neck area but this is all over her body. We have not been able to get her to eat yet on her own. I assist fed her two pinkies and visited my normal shop yesterday who gave me a live fuzzy. She still didn't eat this and I killed it and assist fed it to her. Today she is displaying a new behavior I have not seen. Her head acts like it doesn't have the control like normal. Picture Stevie Wonder as he sings swinging his head from side to side looking up in the air. It's not a normal wobble but more of a side to side without control. Anyone ever seen this ? My other snakes are healthy and doing great. It's just this little girl that is having trouble.

Modest Wedding DressesPosted in: Wedding Dresses
Requesting an appointment or registering for a St. Patrick occasion is just the starting. I also allied with other wedding service providers such as wedding photography, catering, florists, wedding cake maker, event planner and other folks. I enjoy hunting at period dresses they had so considerably detail-lovely embroidery and detailing. I personally like the designs and different types of lace utilized in generating the wedding gowns. Wonderful pictures and explanation in detail, both wedding ceremonies, Cambodian and Western, have been delightful to read about and see. I know that Calla Lilies are 1 of the most popular wedding flowers but I feel lilacs are so fragrant and gorgeous.
A piece of lace belonging to Queen Ingrid's mother, Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden, was sewn down the front of the gown. The dress was lace more than satin, and in actually excellent condition, considering it was 60 years old! Due to the language barrier, it's a shame that Japanese wedding dresses beyond the kimono aren't readily visible to the Western globe. When I went wedding dress shopping, I noticed makeup stains on at least two of the gowns. There will usually be other lovely dresses out there, but when you are fortunate enough to discover one particular that makes you really feel remarkable, do yourself a favor and lock it down.
I had a completely beautiful wedding dress that would have looked a entire lot greater with the gold silk underneath showing in the front and the lacy fabric as a skirt in the back. We specialize in prime designers who have what you want for your wedding celebration regardless of whether you are arranging an out-door summer wedding, a colorful fall wedding or a romantic winter evening wedding, we have a wonderful choice from which to select. If the wedding is an informal a single, you could pick to wear a pant suit or a 'Sunday dress'.
Some couples ask for income if it is for their preferred charity (like my what my sister-in-law and husband did at their wedding), so I think that might be acceptable. Regardless of whether the option to host the wedding is made in a Mediterranean village, on a scenic mountain overlook, or at a chateau surrounded by lush shrubs someplace in the countryside of Burgundy, France anywhere there would make your wedding a truly romantic affair certainly. Whether you pick a dramatic train or chic quick wedding dress, our exquisite collection is expertly-crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Gerbera daisies have not too long ago outranked stephanotis, pushing them into a well-deserved space in the ten most popular wedding flowers. If you are a bride-to-be, or are an enthusiastic friend of a bride-to-be, these bridal dresses might prove to be incredibly inspirational. One traditional dish is the hochzeitssuppe, or wedding soup, which is created of beef, dumplings, and vegetables. In western cultures, the use of wearing white wedding gowns was popularized in the 19th Century by Queen Victoria of England.…

Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats/
There are few places on earth that make you wonder if you've somehow been abducted by aliens and transported to a far off planet.
The Salar de Uyuni is one of these otherworldly places.
At one point in history, this region was a massive saltwater lake. The water eventually evaporated, leaving a thick layer of salt that stretches as far as the eye can see. Commonly known as the "Salt Flats", this area is one of the most visited places in Bolivia.
There are two seasons in the Salar de Uyuni – wet and dry. Each year during the wet season, water covers the earth, turning the land into an all-encompassing, dreamlike mirror.
We were there during dry season, when you are able to venture into the middle of this strange, salty land.
City of Uyuni
Our journey to the Salt Flats started with a night bus that brought us to the sleepy little town of Uyuni. Situated on the corner of nothingness and oblivion, there really isn't anything to do in this town… well, besides drinking wine, of course.
After getting situated in our hostel, we made a trip to the market to get some snacks. We ended up with a bag of oranges, cookies, four bottles of wine, and a plastic Godzilla figurine.
You will understand why in a moment.
After drinking two of our four bottles of wine, we ventured to town where we ran into some friends from earlier in our travels. We went to dinner at one of the thousand pizzerias in Uyuni. The pizza was actually shockingly good for Bolivia, and the specialty quinoa beer was quite tasty too!
After demolishing our food, we stuck around to play cards until we were encouraged to leave because the owners wanted to close.
Salar de Uyuni Tour
The next morning, we embarked on our three-day, two-night tour.
There are somewhere around 80 companies in Uyuni that provide tours of the Salt Flats. Some of the companies are legit, and others… well, not so much.
We did our research and talked to other travelers, and the company name we kept hearing was Red Planet. At just $20 more than the cheapest of the companies, it was an easy choice.
And again, we were not disappointed with our decision to go with one of the "nicer" companies. While some of the other tour guides we saw along the way didn't talk to their groups at all, our guide was incredible. He shared a lot of history and gave us insight on what it is like to live in this region.
Our first stop was at the famous train graveyard. Years ago, Britain sent trains to Bolivia so they could export all the silver they were mining. What they didn't realize though, was that the altitude of Bolivia is much, much higher than that of England, and eventually the trains all died – leaving them useless.
Next, we made several stops in the Salt Flats, and took more pictures than I would like to admit. Our guides pulled out the floor mats from the Jeeps so we could lay on our bellies to get the obligatory perspective photos – which, as we found out is kind of an art.
This is where Godzilla comes in.
Because the salty earth stretches to the horizon in all directions, you can take photographs with a distorted perspective. We were able to take pictures with this tiny toy figurine towering over us, which made for a fun little photo shoot! We shared him with the rest of our group so everyone could get a picture running from the "giant" beast!
Just before lunchtime, we visited a salt processing factory – which ironically, is made entirely of salt. Our guide explained how the salt comes to the workshop in bricks that have been extracted from the earth, and is processed into what we use in our kitchens. Though the process is long and strenuous, they make just two US dollars for an amount of salt so large, no human being could consume it in a lifetime.
That night we stayed in nothing other than a salt hotel. Everything – from the bricks to the beds – was made of salt. In the Salar, these hotels are not uncommon. We learned that they have to be rebuilt every 15 years, as the rainwater erodes the bricks over time.
The next day we made several stops along the way at unique rock formations and different colored lagoons – red, blue and green – where flamingos gathered.
Our hotel for the second night was dorm style, with 6 beds in each room. Five women and Ben.
Lucky guy!
The biggest perk of this hotel (other than the communal sleeping arrangement!) was that it was situated just meters from a beautiful natural hot spring.
Red Planet is the only company that stays near the springs, so we were able to spend the night soaking, sharing stories, and passing around bottles of wine with our group.
As we were leaving the next morning, we saw all the other tour companies arriving and crowding the springs. We felt lucky to have it all to ourselves the night before. It was definitely a highlight of our time in the Salt Flats.

The Lego Boost Creative Toolbox is going to change Lego forever.
Lego Boost is for me the biggest highlight of CES 2017. The Lego Boost Creative Toolbox is going to have the biggest impact of any of the unveiled products. It is a game changer as kids are able to bring their Lego creations to life using the bricks they already own.
The Lego Boost Creative Toolbox 17101 comes with pre-designed creations like Vernie the robot and a cat. While these sets are create to get started, the much bigger use of the Lego Boost interactive bricks is to bring the free style builds kids love to come up with.
With Lego Boost kids can make their builds move and react controlled through code. My 8-year-old just built a tree with a squirrel on it that can be turned using a wheel. The tree is part of a complete world set in the forest. With Lego Boost this world can come to life.
While the pre-designed models that come with the Boost set are awesome, the critical factor for success of Lego Boost is how easy it is to use the Boost bricks Move Hub, Interactive Motor and the Color & Distance Sensor to build own creations.
At the center of the Boost system is the Move Hub. It features Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, two encoded motors, activation button, internal tilt sensor and a light. The Lego Boost Move Hub also houses the batteries.
The Lego Boost Interactive Motor is also an encoded motor. Encoded means, that the motor can be directly controlled through the Lego Boost coding app. The Lego Boost Color & Distance Sensor detects distance, motion and color, and can also function as a light.
The Interactive Motor and the Color & Distance Sensor need to be connected to the Move Hub to work. Both have a cable that is about 20 cm long. The plugs are not compatible with the Lego Power Functions modules.
Kids will likely end up most of time starting to build on top of the Move Hub. This is in a way limiting, but a clear starting point can also be beneficial.
The three Lego Boost modules are part of the Lego Boost Creative Toolbox 17101 that contains 840 parts. The set also includes a playmat for use with specific activities, and a Lego Boost wall poster.
Lego will release the Lego Boost Creative Toolbox 17101 in August for $159.99. Lego Boost is set to become the hottest Holiday toy of 2017 and will be hard to find close to the Holidays. Buying the set in August is highly recommended. We will update our readers when the Lego Boost Creative Toolbox goes on sale or will be available for pre-order.
There is no announcement yet regarding the individual availability of the Boost bricks and if there are more Boost bricks coming.
Third parties like SBrick have created similar modules to control Lego builds with apps. Lego Boost brings now app controlled Lego to the masses.
Read all released details about the Lego Boost Creative Toolbox and watch the demo videos.


text: I have been using the same mascara since I was 16 and since I like it so much I rarely explore the other options out there in the market. With allergy season in high swing though, my eyes need so much gentle care as they can get. Løwen Copenhagen is a brand new launch in the market and it could potentially be a very good choice: the price of their mascaras is really good! 150 - 180 dkk a piece which is a price comparable to some mass produced high street brands. The wands are exactly to my liking - they compare to Benefit they are real and my long standing fav Max Factor False Lash Effect. The best bit is that they are completely allergy free and all that nice stuff + in a really cute packaging that looks more like YSL than a natural make- up brand. Kinda love love love! I do have to wait for them to come up with a water resistant option (those are the only ones that hold the curl on my elephant lashes) but I must say I am a fan!

Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
What to do with the mess on my head?
I've found very few things that give my curls definition while avoiding the crunch. Went to get my haircut and explained pretty well what I wanted and what I got was much shorter. My shortest layer (stretching the curl out) is at the nape of my neck. While the longest is at my neckline. Strange when I said 'shortest layer should be at neckline. She also thinned it with shears. That aside I want to find a product that defines but doesn't make crunchy curls. My problem is that my hair isn't all one curl type. I have 2B in front on top, then the rest is a mixture of 3A and 3B. The curls don't really change when my hairs longer since I've had it that way before. When my hair is longer its hard to keep up with. LOTS of shampoo, conditioner, styling products...etc. Its coarse and thick. I have 3 children under the age of 5. I need something that I can shower stick something in it and go. I don't have time to straighten it even though it does pretty good but it takes so long because there is so much of it!! I need something light (my hair is heavy enough), nothing that adds volume, that will hold and not give it a crunch.
1 Answer
Have you tried Curl Keeper? You have to use a ton but it works and is crunch-free.
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!
