Friday 07.22
Green thumbs beware
When a good idea turns into a blood-craving monster plant — well, lives get turned around. WaterTower Theatre premieres the fun and frantic Little Shop of Horrors, where Seymour, a lowly florist, tries to turn his fortune around and ends up with a big mess. Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's songs only add to the wacky flair of it all.
DEETS: WTT, 15650 Addison Road, Addison. Through July 31.
$30. WaterTowerTheatre.org.
Saturday 07.23
Who are those masked men?
The Dallas Eagle knows how to throw a bash. As part of Leather Pride Week (who knew?), the club hosts Masquerade: A Night of Men, Leather, Fantasy and Intrigue. OK, you got us — we're intrigued. The leather and fetish ball assures no Cinderellas on hand. Gear and masks are encouraged. Just don't be that guy without one.
DEETS: Dallas Eagle, 5740 Maple Ave.
10 p.m. DallasEagle.com
Thursday 07.28
Is she your teenage dream?
Katy Perry is either brilliant or ballsy. Her radio hits will carry her show into party mode, but having the dynamic Robyn as an opener could put Perry into a corner. She'll likely come out swinging. The audience definitely wins this night.
DEETS: Verizon Theatre, 1001 Performance Place, Grand Prairie. 7:30 p.m.
$45. Ticketmaster.com

Chilton meets Marussia demands
- Drivers:
- Max Chilton
- Teams:
- Manor
Max Chilton has revealed that he's got the sponsorship that Marussia has told him he will need to secure a race seat in 2013.
Chilton made his first FP1 appearance on Friday in Abu Dhabi, finishing a second off his team-mate Timo Glock's best time having been promoted to the role of reserve driver after the Singapore Grand Prix.
Prior to his first run in an official practice session, Chilton told the Press Association that he had been given a figure by Marussia which he has managed to secure via his own sponsors.
"I'm trying to get the race seat here," Chilton said. "I've managed to get two sponsors together for next year, to get the whole budget together, if the seat is available, which means as a family we don't have to put a penny in.
"My dad has always said he would get me to where I need, but that he won't put in any money. Luckily I now have the money. Now it's down to whatever happens in the middle part of the grid. You have to see what happens there, and then that filters down. At the moment I'm just waiting to see what happens there."
Having admitted that whether he gets the seat or not depends on Charles Pic's future, Chilton added that he was ready for a seat but is aware it's not all about his driving.
"Potentially it's looking good. You're not ready until you feel ready, and I feel ready. I know I've got the speed. But F1 is all about politics, and you have to see what seats are available and hopefully I'll get one. At the moment I'm excited about the future. I feel like I'm in a good situation, and hopefully something will come about in the next couple of months. It would be nice to know before Christmas."

Litter at Sports Park skate park

I have actually done some skateboarding in my day and I love it. Today's kids refer to their "freedoms" and whatnot when they skate, but not their responsibilities. And I'm afraid its the parents' fault. Pleasanton has way too many spoiled kids who wouldn't pick up a piece of garbage, noting that "there's someone to do that job." Well its their job, so all of you lowlife parents (who do the same thing) cut it out and teach your kids some REAL values.

You are absolutely correct. Had to navigate thru the broken bottles on path next to it couple of weeks ago. I've picked up the trash as well but it only seems to make it worse. Could try signs with a message but not so sure that the perpetrators are bright enough to understand.

The City, like good parents, should take action and deliver ramifications to kids who don't behave or follow the rules. I encourage City staff to consider fencing off the skate park with a sign saying the park is closed because of excess littering.
My kids play soccer and baseball in Sports Park and despite the park being packed with players and parents ALL DAY on Saturdays, they get their trash in the cans. I challenge anyone to find ANY trash on ANY baseball, softball or soccer field in Sports Park by dark. The difference between the two parks is that parents attend and watch football, soccer and baseball - they don't watch their teens skate, so teen do what teens do - they litter, spit, and act like idiots in public places because adults aren't watching them.

After signing as the fifth Homegrown player in Crew history, University of Akron standout Chad Barson joined TheCrew.com's Cody Sharrett for a short Q&A.
Cody Sharrett: Congratulations on signing with the Crew. How do you plan on contributing to the Black & Gold as a rookie?
Chad Barson: I think I bring a good work ethic. I have a good mentality in the way I approach things. I'm willing to contribute, and I'm a team guy. I put the team first. I'll put the team's needs above my own and whatever they need, that's what I'm willing to do.
CS: You've been captain for the past two seasons at Akron and as a centerback, you have to be a leader on the field. How do you approach being a leader as a rookie?
CB: You have to be yourself. You can't be shy. As a rookie, you're stepping into uncharted territory and just because you're the young guy or the new guy, it doesn't matter how long you've been around. Obviously guys that have been around have more say, but you still need to be able to lead, to talk and to organize guys because the position I play, you see the whole game from where you play.
CS: Your coach at Akron, Caleb Porter, has moved on to the Portland TImbers in MLS. How did he develop your game over the past four years at Akron.
CB: Basically, I like to say everything about my game is a result of Coach Porter. The way we trained at Akron, the mentality he teaches you how to approach life, how to approach school, how to approach soccer: it's really all from him. I see a lot of him in myself. When I talk, when I play, just everything really.
CS: You were born and raised in Columbus. Do you remember your first Crew game? Which players did you look up to?
CB: I don't remember my first Crew game. But watching guys like [Brian] McBride, [Brian] Maisonneuve and Jeff Cunningham, I remember watching those guys all the time when I was younger.
CS: Over the past few summers, you've spent time training with the First Team. Who is the toughest guy you've had to defend?
CB: Honestly size-wise, Andy Iro and Chad Marshall because they're some pretty big guys. I'd also throw Steve Lenhart in there because he's such a scrappy guy and he likes to be physical, but he's also a great guy.

BMW Motorrad Club Northern Illinois will be leading a ride of its members to the RA Rally at the Biltmore Estate this June. We are leaving the 19th and returning the 24th. If anyone would like to join us, we would love the company. We have started a thread about it on our own club forum HERE that includes the details along with downloadable Garmin routes of the ride there and rides we will be planning during our stay.
Come on out and join us, or hook up with us once we are there and join in our ride. One of our club members is from the area so our rides will be much more than just going to "The Dragon"! There are a ton of roads just as good and a LOT less crowded. (read as less cops, and less stunt-rider-wanna-bees)

+ Where are the reforms?
Dear Editor:
Let us not forget the local four-year surtax — now the third in your county — with the majority of it going to extra salaries and, therefore, the big question with Scott's proposal. OK, then, how would that work? Some districts have surtax, most going toward extra fiscal-year salaries.
So, how is that going to be implemented, if passed, with some having local school district surtax and some not? What a mess and more inequality. Can we remember the old saying, "the more things change, the more things stay the same." Welcome to Flor-a-Duh. And by the way, where are the term limits for those well paid (overly paid) part-time school board members? Where are the reforms?
Norm Lupo
+ A call for action
Dear Editor:
Your article and the interview with Kevin Burns ("County to re-work noise ordinance," Jan. 31) imply that Siesta Key does not have a noise pollution problem. We have a severe problem. Blasé Café and other bars regularly hire bands that play on outdoor stages with excess amplification. Those of us who live at the Beach Terrace can often hear music through closed windows with our TVs blaring, and we are several hundred yards away. This is not a debate about A-scale versus C-scale measurements; enforcement by the sheriff's deputies or county code officials; or revisions to the county code, all of which need attention. It is about a local merchant failing to respect its neighbors.
Rodney Linford
Siesta Key
+ Crosswalk info needed
Dear Editor:
We are pleased that the Florida Department of Transportation has recently installed six crosswalks along Midnight Pass Road. We make it a habit to use those special crosswalks. It is quite noticeable that there are pedestrians who ignore these safety areas and cross a few feet from them. Because many of these people are tourists, we would recommend that The Observer run a feature article on these new safety crosswalks and their safety benefits and to encourage the Siesta Key Condo Association and other to provide a handout to each new arrival that talks about how they work.

McLEAN, Va., August 8, 2012 — The FCA Board today received a report from staff in the Office of Examination and the Office of Regulatory Policy on the impact of the drought on farmers and ranchers and, by extension, on the Farm Credit System.
To measure the initial impact of the drought, FCA staff surveyed System associations with high concentrations of corn and soybean producers. The associations reported that a majority of its customers have federal crop insurance contracts. This protection mitigates much of the impact of the drought on grain producers and on their ability to repay their loans. The drought will also affect producers who rely on grain products, such as dairy, livestock, poultry, and ethanol producers. Although some borrowers may face significant challenges as a result of this year's drought, FCA does not believe the drought will affect the System's overall safety and soundness or its ability to serve farmers and ranchers.
Associations reported they are taking steps to work with borrowers affected by the drought. In addition, they are stepping up communication with their borrowers, including holding meetings to make sure they have the information they need. Some associations are contacting customers directly to make sure they know the steps involved in filing crop insurance claims.
FCA regulations give System institutions flexibility to provide borrowers with relief in the aftermath of floods, droughts, and other disasters. FCA's Board Policy Statement 71 outlines steps institutions may take to provide such relief.
I am pleased that FCS institutions are already taking measures consistent with their individual disaster assistance programs and with FCA's Board Policy Statement on disaster relief, says Leland A. Strom, FCA's Chairman and CEO. And although the widespread use of crop insurance will mitigate the impact of the drought on grain producers and on System institutions with exposures to these producers, the protein, dairy, and ethanol sectors will face an increasingly challenging operating environment. We will continue to watch the situation closely. Throughout this period, we want to ensure the System continues to provide a stable source ofcredit to farmers and ranchers.
The Farm Credit Administration is the safety and soundness regulator of the cooperative Farm Credit System and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac). FCA charters, regulates, and examines the 94 banks, associations, service corporations and special-purpose entities of the Farm Credit System. The System makes loans to agricultural producers and their cooperatives nationwide. It includes Farmer Mac, Vv'hich provides a secondary market for agricultural real estate loans, rural housing mortgage loans, and certain rural utility loans. Members of the FCA Board are Leland A. Strom, Chairman and CEO; Kenneth A. Spearman; and Jill Long Thompson.
Note: FCA nevvs releases are available on the Web at www.fca.gov.

"Our goal is to constantly increase the ease of using our services so that our partners can maximize the opportunity to grow and thrive in the industry," Walt Carter, Generation's chief information officer, said in a press release. "We believe our new loan origination platform achieves our high standards for providing the best partner services in the business."

So, we are a week from leaving and I think I have finally nailed down my schedule for Cornerstone 2010. Here are few of the highlights that I'm going to see.
Monday: This is my only really slow day of the week, but as soon as camp is set up I'll head out and see what new bands I can find. These are just the two I don't want to miss!
Take It Back! – 10:30pm – Solace Stage: A post-hardcore band from Arkansas. This is a band you won't want to miss. Although, if you can't make it to this particular show they are playing a couple of more times during the week.
The Burial – 11:15pm – Raging Storm/Sancrosanct Stage: A deathcore band from South Bend, Indiana. If you are a fan of August Burns Red or Becoming the Archetype, then you'll love The Burial.
Tuesday: And the craziness begins! For 12 hours I will be running from stage to stage trying not to miss anything. A lot of the bands this day are going to be my first time seeing them live.
Fire from the Gods/Let the Dead - 12:00pm – Legacy Stage: Two bands from deep in the heart of Texas, Austin! These bands will show you what Texas hardcore is all about.
Hand Drawn Mountains – 1:40pm – Chasing Canadia Stage: This will be my first time to see this band live.
Switchfoot - 8:00pm – Main Stage: We all know Switchfoot. I've never had the opportunity to see them live, so here's my chance.
The Ember Days - 9:00pm – Solace Stage: A progressive worship band from New Zealand. Another band I have never seen live.
The Showdown - 11:00pm – Encore Stage: Hardcore/Classic Rock from the backwoods of Tennessee. These guys put on a phenomenal show. If you are a fan of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster or Becoming the Archetype, then don't miss this show!
Wednesday: This will probably be my favorite day all week. All of my favorite bands play this day. I can't Wait!
Bradley Hathaway – 3:30pm – Main Stage: A mix of spoken word and singing. Some of the most amazing stuff you'll hear. He's become kind of a staple at Cornerstone.
Levi the Poet - 4:30pm – Solace Stage: Spoken word with a mix of sporadic instruments. I have been waiting to see him play for quite some time now.
Listener – 6:00pm – Jesus Village: I've never seen him, but I've been listening to his stuff and I can't wait! It's going to be awesome!
mewithoutYou – 7:00pm – Main Stage: One of the most amazing bands ever! Another must see for Cornerstone.
Sleeping Giant - 10:50pm – Underground Stage: This band puts on one of the most moving, worship filled hardcore shows I have ever seen. If you go to this show you will be changed. You won't be able to stop it! It cannot be contained!
After a very long day, I get to end it with my favorite band:
The Chariot- 12:00pm – Encore Stage: Of course, I'll have to leave Sleeping Giant early…but it will be worth every second. The Chariot always puts on an insane show. You never know what craziness they are going to bring to the stage
Thursday: This day is going to be an eclectic mix of music
John Reuben – 3:15pm – Main Stage: Just about the only chance for Hip-Hop at Cornerstone this year.
Brooke Waggoner – 4:15pm – Gallery Stage: I've never seen her live, but I've been listening to her for over a year now. It's going to be amazing I just know it!
Hands – 7:30pm – Underground Stage: I have been waiting to see this band for a while now. Since they never come to Austin, I definitely will be at this show!
I'll have to split my next hour to be able to see both bands:
The Almost – 8:30pm – Main Stage: One of my favorite bands.
The Farewell Drifters - 8:30pm – Gallery Stage: I love me some bluegrass, so I'm sure to catch at least part of this show
For Today- 10:50pm – Underground Stage: This show will be a lot like Sleeping Giant the night before. These guys are an amazing Hardcore band that puts on a show full of worship.
Friday: I'm hanging out at the Gallery Stage for most of this day.
The Glorious Unseen – 9:00am – Main Stage: This would be a great way to kick off the day. This band is made up of several youth leaders with a passion for music and a heart for God.
Timbre - 2:05pm – Gallery Stage: You've gotta' see this harp playing girl!
Over the Rhine – 4:15pm – Gallery Stage: This Ohio duo plays awesome Americana music.
Dignan - 6:00pm – Gallery Stage: I haven't seen this band live yet, but I look forward to hearing this progressive indie rock band
Paper Route - 7:15pm – Gallery Stage: An atmospheric rock band out of Nashville, Tennessee. If they are half as good live as their CD's are, then this should be a real treat
Children 18:3- 9:00pm – Underground Stage: An awesome family punk band from Minnesota. These guys are the next big thing in Christian punk rock right now!
Eisley – 10:00pm – Gallery Stage: I have been listening to these guys since their beginning. It's been a while and I am very excited to see them again.
White Collar Sideshow- 12:00am – Underground Stage: Here is another show that has an unbelievable power to change you. This is an amazing theatrical band that will move you. Besides, these are some of the coolest people you will see at Cornerstone.
Saturday: The last day and there is still so much to see!
The Glorious Unseen - 12:15am – Main Stage: I know this was on Friday too, but if 9:00 am was too early before than be sure and catch these guys at this show.
O'Brother – 6:00pm – Gallery Stage: I have never seen this band before, but everyone says I have too. I'm game!
August Burns Red – 7:00pm – Main Stage: This band rocked last time I saw them on Main Stage at Cornerstone. They never cease to amaze me.
Ivoryline – 8:35pm – Gallery Stage: A post-hardcore band from Tyler, Texas. I have seen these guys play so many times and they are always great!
Seabird- 10:00pm – Gallery Stage: An atmospheric rock band from Ohio. The perfect way to end Cornerstone 2010.

hi this was found on whitby bay underneath some boulders just wondered if anyone can help me id it?
Judging from your photos, I'm pretty sure it is fossil, not modern.
It is either:
- a bryozoan mat, or
- a leaf
If it has a rectangular structure within the overall radiating structure, it is a Bryozoan.
Here's a fossil showing that rectangular structure well
- http://www.fossilmall.com/EDCOPE_Enterprises/invertebrates/invert72/invfossil72.htm
This photo of a modern bryozoan mat called broad-leaved hornwrack (Flustra foliacea) at Whitby also shows the characteristic rectangular structure
- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D_IGXhFRRsM/TTrYvCI3L4I/AAAAAAAAAyM/1I92VAQ4Xzg/s400/DSCF3020a.jpg
(from http://whitbypopwatch.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html)
Another example
- http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/collections/collecting/flustra-foliacea/
Although it is often mistaken for seaweed, it is rough to the touch.
That's just to get your eye in on Bryozoans. Like I say, I am pretty sure yours is fossil.
If it is a plant, we'll have to think some more (Jurassic plant fossils have been found at Whitby Bay).
Please get back to us!
Oh, and some close-up photos (including a scale) would be useful, so long as you can get them in focus.
many thanks for your help and quick reply i have had to coat the fossil with pva glue as it was quite flakey in places i hope this doesnt hinder you to much, i have also attatched a close up picture, thanks again.
Hi starburst1812
I hope you donot mind but I have attached two images of a similar (not as good as yours) partial Phylloceras outer whorle, when i turned it over I could see other fossils inside of it.
Very nice find starburst1812
It is the side of the outer whorle of a Lower Jurassic - Upper Lias ammonite called Phylloceras hetrophyllium, these ammonites are amongst the biggest you can find if you are lucky enough to find a whole one around Whitby.
Ooh - difference of opinion!
I would ordinarily defer to your excellent local knowldge, Tabfish. But the specimen appears thin and almost flat, whereas Phylloceras could have considerable thickness/curvature, surely? Also, if it was Phylloceras, the 'centre' would be offset because of the spiralling, whereas here I get the sense that the 'centre' is central.
I could entertain the idea of an ammonite aptychus, as being flattish; but I would not expect a dominant radial marking like on this specimen.
Ah - but you say 'side'.
OK, I see what you mean - a broken fragment excluding the more-curved 'edge'.
I think a bit of prepping to reveal what happens in the centre would decide between the two ideas!
Definately a Phylo Mike, a very big one.
Oh, OK, I suppose...
I so wanted it to be a monster Gingko!
Hi Mike
Just took some images!
The first is a small Phyllo that I am holding in my hand, the rest is of a decent sized specimen found near Whitby.
When you find these partial specimens on the beach they are spectacular, with a fantastic golden sheen, but after a while they go dull and sometimes start to crumble as they dry out.
Very nice find.
Hi many thanks for all your help, I did think it was a plant at first as there is indeed what appears to be a nut or leaf imprint beneath it however having looked at the photos of the phyllo I think you may be right , thanks again for you help.
Hi starburst1812
Hope it's ok but I found something similar to your specimen tonite in my shed.
I will post some more images separately because it's easier for me to explane what they are.
The first is a view from the side of something like yours that has been in my shed for a while.
A closer look at the surface, you can see a ammonite inside of it, just popping through the rock.
Just below the middle.
I was very lucky to swap for this specimen, it's12in/30cm polished up with all of the ribs removed.
Pride of my collection.
That's a cracker, Tabfish!
Thank's Mike
I did not find or prep this specimen, I traded it for what I can remember was raw material that I had found.
that is fantastic tabfish... if only i could make a find like that and you are correct your specimen phyllo look very simmilar to mine, thanks for all you help
Don't forget starburst - if you found a partial fossil Phyllo then there is a good chance you were in the right area to find a full one!
Just get the tides rite and the cliffs are very dangerous around Whitby.
Look forward to seeing some more of your finds.
knowing my luck tabfish the full one was right in front of me and i have missed it haha, but at least i got this lovely imprint im not due back in whitby for awhile but saw several small rockfalls whilst i was there so i have been extra careful whilst searching however i am of to the isle of wight in june and i am hoping for some interesting finds, thanks for all your help
My family and I has spent many happy times on the Isle of Wight and we have made some friends there, I can only say we wish we were there now.
Have a great holiday and please show your finds on here.
I know you said Whitby Bay and 'under some boulders', but please could you give me more detail on the location (if possible). Specifically:
- by 'under some boulders', did you mean loose? - or was it in the bedrock?
- whereabouts around the bay (grid ref, some landmark that I could locate on a map, etc.)
Also, you could go here
click on 'Go to location' (upper right), enter Whitby as location,
and see if you could give location information in terms of the geology.
You'll have to play around to get the hang of how the site works, eg. click anywhere and you'll get a popup regarding the geology at that point.
This might enable you, for instance, to tell us if the spot was in the Saltwick Formation And Cloughton Formations, or Whitby Mudstone Formation, or Mulgrave Shale Member.
I am in contact with the advisory staff at the Angela Marmont Centre, who have requested this loation information (but are extremely short-staffed). I hope they, in collaboration with a palaeo, will be able to provide some useful insight. I would, of course, post that here.
Hi sorry for the lack of responce lately I am changing broadband suppliers at the moment so only have my mobile phone I will have a look on the web page you suggested so I can give you some more detail of where it was found it wasn't far from the harbour I will post further details on Tuesday when my broadband is up and running hope that is ok:)
hi mike had a look at the web page you sugested and have got a grid ref for you it was found in this area under a very large boulder the grid ref is 490928,511340 i hope that helps if you manage to find the real thing i would love to see it anyway good luck
Ah - that's right where the stratigraphy changes in a short distance. To paraphrase the info from the BGS map:
There are four formations, all in the Jurassic:
- Cloughton Formation - Sandstone, Siltstone And Mudstone, ~168-172ma
- Eller Beck Formation - Mudstone, Sandstone And Ironstone, ~168-172ma
- Dogger Formation - Sandstone, ~172-176ma
- Whitby Mudstone Formation - Mudstone, ~176-183ma
Setting: shallow seas. These rocks were formed in shallow seas with mainly siliciclastic sediments (comprising of fragments or clasts of silicate minerals) deposited as mud, silt, sand and gravel.
Local environment previously dominated by swamps, estuaries and deltas.
However, was that boulder on the beach (or a bit inland)?
And was it in the bedrock (or loose)?
If so, we're dealing with the Whitby Mudstone Fm.
Once I have your answers, I shall email my contact...
Good answer Mike.
Yes tabfish I am really looking forward to going to the isle I wight it will be my sons first fossil hunting trip ( he is 12 week old at the moment) so I am hopeful I can find something nice to show him when he is older and my three year old daughter is already showing a interest in all things to do with fossils so we should have a great time , thanks again :)

The Dodgers re-assigned infielder Alfredo Amezaga, relievers Kevin Gregg and Peter Moylan and catcher Matt Wallach and optioned outfielders Alex Castellanos, Elian Herrera and pitchers Stephen Fife and Josh Wall to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Dodgers general manager Colletti and manager Don Mattingly said they liked how the veteran Gregg, in particular, pitched during spring training but there simply wasn't a spot for him on the 25-man roster. Gregg left the clubhouse after the game without speaking to reporters.
"He did nothing to discourage us and we'll see how it goes," Colletti said.
The Dodgers plan to make a few more moves before today's noon deadline.
The Angels, as expected, placed reliever Ryan Madson on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 22. Madson is recovering from reconstructive right elbow surgery and simply isn't ready to pitch yet. They also played Andrew Taylor (left shoulder) on the 15-day disabled list.
The Angels also selected the contracts of infielder Brandan Harris, outfielder J.B. Shuck and right-hander Mark Lowe. The club re-assigned outfielder Kole Calhoun, right-hander David Carpenter, catcher John Hester and infielder Luis Jimenez to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Angels win finale
Pinch-hitter Hank Conger homered with two outs in the ninth inning lead to give the Angels a 2-1 victory in front of what remained of a sellout crowd of 44,717.
Conger, a backup catcher, slugged his fourth homer of the spring.
Dodgers starter Zack Greinke gave up one run and three hits with five strikeouts and one walk in five innings. The right-hander threw 81 pitches before Josh Wall replaced him to start the sixth inning and mixed his fastball with effective breaking balls.
Angels starter Tommy Hanson also gave up only one run and three hits in his final spring training appearance. Jerome Williams relieved Hanson after he recorded six strikeouts and two walks in 93 pitches over 6 1/3 innings.
The Dodgers scored in the first inning on Matt Kemp's sacrifice fly after Carl Crawford walked, stole second base and went to third on a groundout. The Angels tied the score on Mike Trout's run-scoring groundout in the third after Chris Iannetta doubled and went to third on a wild pitch.

The USA Network TV series "Royal Pains" will reportedly be using more than 600 extras in Savannah for its upcoming season.
The Savannah Morning News reports that film crews were spotted Monday at Daffin Park's historic Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Sand Gnats minor league baseball team.
A release for a casting call issued a few weeks ago expressed interest in young male baseball players and experienced massage therapists, as well as extras between the ages of 18 and 50s for the show, the paper reported.
The show, which premiered in 2009, announced that it has been picked up for two additional seasons. Season five begins this summer.
On Saturday, the Savannah Film Office posted a Facebook message welcoming the "Royal Pains" cast and crew to Savannah and Tybee Island, and congratulated a local crew working on the production.
A person working on the production told the Morning News that about 300 extras were used on Monday, and that 600 local extras will have worked on the show by the time filing ends Thursday.
Georgia has become a hub for film of late and Savannah is quickly starting to keep pace with Atlanta as a prime location for both television and film.
Savannah set a record in 2012 for film production, according to a Savannah Film Commission report obtained by the Savannah paper.
A global film studio has signed a memorandum of understanding to build a $90 million movie studio in Effingham County, Ga., that will create more than 1,200 jobs
The City of Savannah Film Office worked with 242 separate projects last year, the report said.
The economic impact to Savannah was $26 million, which includes $12.2 million in direct spending.

Not-So-Clean Sweep!
Wow, this was a heckuva series against the Reds. The Cards had to rise to the occasion, and boy, did they – with hitting, pitching, and fire in the bellies.
Something about Tuesday's brawl reminded me of this scene from The Last Detail (warning: bad language). It's all about flaring tempers and strong words, nobody really gets hurt, but Jack gets a total feeling of exhilaration from the altercation.
That type of adrenalin rush seems to be what happened to the Cards. After being the center of the fight with Brandon Phillips, Yadi hit a home run, and the Cards just rolled from there, right back into first place.
There's not much to say about Phillips' inane comments about his hatred of the Cards. It certainly wasn't professional or very sportsmanlike. But if that's what it took to get the Cards riled up enough to finally play with some fire, then I'm glad he mouthed off.
Now bring on the team Phillips prefers to the Cardinals – the Cubbies!

- Ocean Nova (charter)
- Expedition Ship
- 73 Capacity
- 11 Days
View Departure>
- Price from
- $999,999,999
- I'm Interested
Summary : Svalbard, a remote and spectacular archipelago of immense glaciers, narrow fjords, sheer mountain cliffs and abundant wildlife, has lured many explorers into its enticing web. Visit Svalbard during the second half of the season. The ice is slowly starting to loosen its grip, which offers good opportunities to explore Svalbard's eastern parts, where few people set foot. During this expedition, explore the archipelago, searching for wildlife such as polar bears, walrus and whales. If lucky, you will be able to complete a circumnavigation of Spitsbergen or explore the spectacular Norduastlandet.
Activities : Birding, Culture, Hiking
Prices from
$999,999,999 to $0
Arrive in Longyearbyen, embark your expedition ship in the afternoon and sail out through the spectacular Ice Fjord.
In a part of the world where you are dependent on ice and weather conditions, your exact itinerary depends on these factors and on the wildlife you encounter. Each day you make several landings with your rigid Zodiac craft and these are a few of the places you may visit:
Northwest Svalbard
In the scientific village of Ny Ålesund, Arctic terns nest by the main street. It was from here that Amundsen and Nobile started their heroic expeditions to the North Pole. On the islands of Danskøya, Amsterdamøya and Ytre Norskøya, find remnants from the bustling activity during the 17th century whaling period. Two of the most courageous attempts to reach the North Pole started on Danskøya. Swedish balloonist Andrée made an attempt with hydrogen balloon and American journalist Wellman started out with airship. The site is still littered with interesting remnants from these expeditions.
Liefdefjorden, meaning "the fjord of love," is lined with snow-covered mountain peaks and at its base you may cruise along the face of the spectacular Monaco Glacier. Many common eiders and pink-footed geese nest in the area and if lucky, see the rare king eider.
In Krossfjorden, delight in the beautifully sculptured front of the 14th of July Glacier to the raucous greeting of the large numbers of kittiwakes and Brünnich's guillemots nesting on the nearby cliffs.
Raudfjorden is an area of immense natural beauty. Dominated by beautiful glaciers, it is also a favorite spot for seals and the bird cliffs are bursting with life.
Hinlopen and Alkefjellet
If the ice allows, you may enter Hinlopen Strait. Here is Alkefjellet, a sheer, basaltic cliff, which is the home to an estimated 200,000 Brünnich's guillemots. You may also continue into the beautiful bay of Palanderbukta on Nordaustlandet.
Eastern Svalbard
The island of Nordaustlandet is covered by an enormous ice cap and fascinates naturalists as well as historians. There are huge glacier fronts here, intersected by hundreds of waterfalls. Even further east is Kvitøya (White Island). In very favorable ice and weather conditions, we may land on this ice-capped island where few people have set foot. Here Andrée and his men were found 33 years after their unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole with a hydrogen balloon. Barentsøya and Edgeøya offer magnificent landscapes and vast tundra. Chances to encounter walrus, Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer are good here.
Southwest Svalbard
The grand fjords of Hornsund offer spectacular glaciers and a breathtaking landscape of towering mountain peaks. This is a favorite haunt for some of Svalbard's polar bears.
Arrive in the early morning, disembark and begin the journey back home.
Please, read this itinerary as a guide only; your exact route and program will vary depending on ice and weather conditions—and the wildlife you encounter. Flexibility is the key to a successful expedition.
10 nights on board the Ocean Nova; all meals; an experienced Expedition Leader and knowledgeable naturalist guides/lecturers; lectures on board and on shore; all shore excursions and activities by Zodiac; a detailed post-expedition log.
Not Included:
Flight to/from Longyearbyen; travel and cancellation insurance; the customary gratuity to the ship's crew; personal expenses such as bar and shop charges.
Vera Simonsson; Morten Jorgensen; Erik Edvardsson; Lisa Strom; Oscar Westman; Jonas Sundquist; Adam Rheborg; Henrik Lovendahl; Ola Skinnarmo

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies I-X' started by Godless Raven, Apr 11, 2013.
Which story do you refer to?
They probably felt that way seeing as the federation wasn't very dependable seeing as they were ignorant of what was going on and their usual way of handling other governments doing something they don't like is to impotently complain at them and only do that.
Except by that point the Maquis didn't accept federation authority any more and as far as their concerned they aren't apart of it anymore.
They didn't seem to think of the federation as their government anymore.
You make it sound like the Cardassians were just going to give up after one set back their history on the shos says otherwise.
Well if they were doing their job when they were supposed to instead of just assuming the Cardassians would honor the treaty when they've show no inclination to do so in the past things wouldn't have gotten that bad.
Actually it doesn't seem to matter in the trekverse that much.
Again it's a mess of their own making becuase they were naive idiots.
Their first appearance is what he's talking about.
And if I'm remembering it right then the federation went after them before they discovered the treaty violations had occurred, as the federation becoming aware of what the Cardassians had done was part of Sisko's final attempt to get Hudson to end the Maquis which Hudson seemed to shoot down as too little too late.
Ah, this was The Maquis. Well, a high-ranking Starfleet officer defects. What the hell should the Federation do, just idly sit by? Of course they will go after him, he is a defector and possible a traitor.
Still waiting for the arguments that points out how the actions of the Maquis serve the goal of peace.
I already made my point, peace treaty plus decent monitoring do the trick whereas attacking the Feds or the Cardassians doesn't. Fighting against the bullies on the schoolyard is heroic but if it doesn't end their nastiness it is pointless in the long-run.
My view on the rise and fall of the Maquis would be, "Well, what did you think was going to happen?"
For a group that claimed they wanted peace they seemed a hell of a lot more concerned with agitating the situation than doing anything that would resolve the problems.
A peace treaty the Cardassians were doing their best to break from day one. The Federation refused to force Cardassia to uphold it all "in the name of peace." The agreement reached by Sisko and Dukat in the Maquis was each side reigns in it's people. The Cardassians never did that.
To take your "schoolyard" metaphor a step further. So the Cardassian bully is beating up the Maquis kid and taking his lunch money. So he cries and cries to the Federation teacher. Who does nothing about it. Heck sometimes the teacher is actively holding the Maquis kid down while the Cardassian bully takes the lunch money. So yeah... they chose to fight.
And as innocent sounding as taking lunch money sounds, it's more along the lines of destruction of property, rape, and murder.
If you mess with the bullies and the teacher you cannot whine when the teacher smacks you. Last time I checked only teachers can establish peace on the schoolyard.
Care to point out how the actions of the Maquis are anything but detrimental to achieving peace in the DMZ? This is what I care about. Heroic macho separatist bullshit? No thanks.
"detrimental to achieving peace?" I think the other poster's point was that there was already a lack of peace. By definition, if you're already being bullied, then there isn't peace. Whether you acknowledge that or not by fighting back or just taking it, there still isn't "peace."
I suppose horatio would want the Maquis colonists women to just spread their legs to their Cardassian rapists in the name of peace.
And you just want millions of Federation citizens die in a second war with the Cardassians. Can we stop the hyperbole and emotional bullshitting and get back to the core of the issue?
I never claimed that the Maquis are nasty bastards or whatever. My argument was that they should do a little bit of violence, Intifada style, to get the attention of their central government. Then they should lay down their weapons and try to lobby hard for better monitoring of the DMZ.
That's a path towards peace. Care to point out how fighting with the Cardassians AND the Federation achieves anything? As I already pointed out, the violence of the Maquis gave the Cardassians an excuse to maintain a military presence in the DMZ and ship even more weapons to the colonies (you can use your ships as cover and as transport vessels). They weren't just a bunch of colonists who defended their colonies from local bullies, they had spaceships and led a guerrilla war.
I don't have problems with political violence. Gee, I defended the Jacobins in this very thread! But you always gotta analyze the specific situation and check out whether violence and what kind of violence (in this case few weeks or months of Maquis action until Federation newspapers report about the problems in the DMZ) helps you to achieve your goal.
If I may end this with a personal note, my grandaunt is the only one who of this generation who ever liked to talk about WWII. When the French troops came after the war some guys of the Légion étrangère misbehaved and started to rape women in the village. The people in the village sent somebody to report to a higher ranked officer in a nearby town to sort out this issue. Of course they could have also picked up weapons and used them against the rapists but I doubt that the outcome would have been good. So much about Maquis style solutions.
they could have tried that track with the Federation I suppose, but the TNG-era Federation tended to bend over backward to avoid any conflict, so I don't think they would have gone for tighter monitoring or a more assertive approach toward the Cardassians.
And you're operating under the false assumption that the Federation was doing -anything- to stop this. Picard, Sisko and Necheyev all said they're on the Cardassian side of the DMZ, they're on their own when pressed on the issue. When Sisko asked Husdon about taking it to the Cardassian authorities..
So don't tell me the Cardassians were interested in peace. They weren't. Before the treaty was even negotiated they tried to seize Minos Korva. Even after it they'd attack Federation ships(like in the Chase) when convenient. They routinely terrorized the colonists, and were arming for a new conflict with the Federation.
The Federation went after the wrong people all in the name of peace with the Cardassians. Which yeah... that worked out real well. The Cardassians only instigated the largest war in the history of the Federation a few years later.
Just to be clear, I don't condone Federation behaviour in any way and I totally agree that political actions would have most likely not made the Feds monitor the DMZ better (which would have hardly been an affront to the Cardies).
But once the Maquis attacked both sides there was no way the Feds could have implemented a better policy even in theory, they first had to stop the violence of the Maquis.
This is my problem, whatever slim chances the settlers (besides doing the common-sensical thing and leaving their colonies) had, their ruined it once they fought against their own government. And once they went down this separationist path they basically became suicidal. Even the tiniest chance to change Federation policy via political means in the DMZ is better than this.
Ah, you finally you made your point, the war should continue. Given that this implies the suffering of perhaps hundred or thousands times more people I am against it. The little that was implied in TNG made it crystal clear that this was one of the most devastating conflicts in recent Federation history.
I agree with you there. The Maquis should have left the colonies. It's the 24th century in Trek, re-settling elsewhere in the Federation should be easy.
I never said it -should- continue, you're putting words in my mouth there, please don't. I'd say it -is- continuing, courtesy of the Cardassians. Heck, they bombed an entire Federation colony in Ensign Ro. The Cardassians repeatedly demonstrated an opportunistic behavior regarding the Federation, attacking their colonies, their starships and outposts whenever tactically convenient. So "hundreds or thousands" of casualties were already happening.
As for little being implied in TNG? Well being it ended in season 2 of DS9, you can't expect them to have covered the Dominion arc. When I said they instigated the largest war in Federation history a few years -later- I wasn't talking about the past conflict, but the Dominion one. Again, the Cardassians broke the treaty when convenient. Great peace treaty eh? It's historical fact you have to have both parties interested in peace for it to work. Not just one.
I think that the colonists were so stubborn for two reasons.
First, they do attract adventurous, not particularly risk-averse people. It's kinda like with the settlement of the New World, but the selection effects are stronger as there are no economic incentives in the world of Trek (America was land-abundant while labour was scarce so wage to land rent ratios were higher in America than in Europe). So in the core of the Federation people we have these (I am exaggerating) phlegmatic, risk-averse hobbits who caring about a peaceful and quite life. Naturally the adventure types on the border are more trigger-happy and less concerned about their own life.
Second, we all have read our Ernest Becker. People need an "immortality project", people need to pursue something which (they can pretend) continues to exist after they are death. Gilgamesh and the wall around Uruk, a writer living on via his books, having children. For people in the "outer rim" their life's work is in the places they made habitable so they don't wanna give them up. As you said, life elsewhere should be easy but unlike animals we humans are not simple hedonists. Once some of them fight in the Maquis their new immortality project might have become giving up their comforts or ultimately their life to fight for what they perceive as a good cause (MLK's last speech neatly shows how somebody thinks and feels in such a situation).
First, being at war doesn't mean you actually fight and the treaty with the Cardassians wasn't a peace treaty. When you are at peace you do not need demilitarized zones.
So, to be more precise, what I actually meant was that you advocate that the Federation remains at war in the sense of not signing anything more than a mere ceasefire agreement. Situations remain tense, fleets remain ready and so on. If I am wrong again please correct me or clearly state what you advocate the Federation to do. I outed myself as a pussy peacenik long ago.
Second, of course you have to judge the trustworthiness of your opponent. But back then Dominion War was a future event and what matters are the corpses from the previous war. The Feds made good experiences with the Romulans, guys who are not trustworthy either, and the neutral zone so the idea of a DMZ with the Cardassians seemed good.
You do realize that we are talking about multiple planets with no idea how many people are actually living there so moving them could require a large amount of ships which have to come from somewhere (hell it took Picard a few weeks to just get evacuation ships to move a small colony descended from crash survivors so who knows how long bigger colonies would take), then there is the question of where to put all the refugees I mean it not like the federation has an infinite amount of planets hence why the planets being ceded were colonized in the first place, (again Picard and his crew spent time looking for a new planet for the guys from Homeward so it's not exactly a cake walk). Which is another problem with the treaty.
Seriously when do people not realize that a planetary evacuation isn't some minor project and is in fact a major undertaking. It's a freaking planet not a small town.
so "it'll take some time" is a strong argument against doing it?

[This post is sponsored by Sherwin-Williams. You can see their predictions for what color palettes are going to go BIG in the design world in 2014, by following the link at the bottom of this post.]
I always think it's really fun when I can give you an inside look at some of the behind-the-scenes phases a design project moves through before it comes to life in someone's home.
And since I recently revealed the before-and-after photos of my own home (the one I just moved from) when I gave everything a MAJOR freshen-up for Ronda Carman's book, Designers at Home, I thought you might also like to see an inspiration board I created while dreaming up what my Formal Living Room could look like if the color palette was expanded to incorporate the inspiration pieces I told you about in my photostyling post from July!. The inspiration colors on the board are from the Sherwin-Williams "Intrinsic" palette. Sherwin-Williams describes this palette as driven by "embracing and preserving tradition, culture and design, while bringing in new influences." Right up my alley, don't you think?!
First, let me remind you how the room was styled to begin with:
And now have a look at the vision board that spurred my palette transformation!
You can really feel the fashion inspiration vibe, right?
1. Lee Industries skirted swivel chairs, covered in Schumacher's Oiseaux et Fleurs pattern 2. Punches of pool blues in accessory choices 3. Barclay Butera Home wing chairs 4. Custom Rug from New River Artisans 5. Christopher Spitzmiller Lamps 6. Jamie Drake Stripe for Schumacher 7. Bungalow 5 Sunburst Mirror
And now for the "After"! You've seen this updated, re-imagined take on this space. How does seeing the vision board change your impression of the space? Did I capture the mood?
As I mentioned, this palette really gives the room a more exciting and playful attitude, and I just love it!

text: Well Sports Fans I survived the US Open Playoffs. Although I lost, the match was competitive and had a major blast. After my match, I got to watch some really impressive tennis. Anyway, for those keeping score, I'm 46 and a ranked 3.5 tournament player in Texas. I lost to a kid whose a Super Championship player 6-2, 6-2. I was actually shocked I won as many games as I did. Too bad I didn't capitalize on the chances I had... For those that wondered what we got, aside from a folder with important info on the tourney, we got a cap and a shirt with the players names on it. I was even interviewed after my match. You never know it may show up in the Playoffs show they have on Tennis Channel. Probably not but I can dream... Oh well it was a one time opportunity I enjoyed. It was cool to be treated like I was important in the tournament... If you get the chance, try it... Don't worry about your skill and ability, just have fun! H76

Village Voice Hit Piece Attacks 9/11 Skeptics
A new hit piece is doing the rounds that seeks to portray the 9/11 truth movement as an almost evangelical orthodoxy with ties to Neo-Nazi organizations.
Jarrett Murphy's 'The Seekers' article in the Village Voice newspaper is a smarmy attempt to scoff at alternative explanations behind 9/11.
Murphy's attack begins by suggesting truth seekers are sub-human social outcasts who meet in underground basements and clutch 9/11 books as if they were bibles on judgment day.
He wastes little time before getting out the Nazi brush and tarring to his heart's content. The author admits that the alleged Nazi persuasion of The Barnes Review is avoided by the other 9/11 skeptics. If that's the case then why does he feel the need to mention it? Because it leaves the naive reader with the impression that disagreeing with the government is tantamount to being a Klan member.
Murphy asks, "Why would the government destroy WTC7 when no one knew or cared about it?"
How on earth can no one know about a building that occupied an entire city block and rose over 600 feet above street level? Why would no one care about a building that houses offices of the CIA, the Secret Service and the IRS? This was hardly an office warehouse.
"But to Alex Jones, the anti-government radio host who thinks the FBI plotted the 1993 Trade Center bombing, the PDB episode was just a ploy to make the [9/11] commission appear independent," writes Murphy.
Are we to divulge from this statement that Murphy thinks a commission that was appointed by the government and originally going to be headed up by Henry Kissinger was ever going to be independent?
Does the word independent spring to mind when we consider the fact that, according to Fortune Magazine, both eventual commission head Thomas Kean and Bush share an unusually well-placed business partner: one Khalid bin Mahfouz -- perhaps better known as "Osama bin Laden's bagman" or even "Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law."
The commission helped Bush by boosting his poll numbers ahead of the election.
Hardly independent when the conclusion of the commission was that the government needed more money and power.
Murphy is also obviously blissfully unaware of Page A1 of the October 28 1993 New York Times, which described how the FBI were, via their informant Emad Salem, supposed to exchange the real explosives for fake powder before calling off the sting and allowing the bombing to take place.
"It's cold, and some passersby laugh," states Murphy when describing 9/11 protesters unfurling banners.
Here's a newsflash Mr. Murphy, half of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge of 9/11 and consciously failed to act. A CNN website poll showed 89% believe the US government is covering up what happened on 9/11. We are no longer the minority and to try and dismiss courageous individuals who have given up their time and money to contribute just a little to helping get justice for the victims by sneering at their efforts in your elitist way is painfully transparent.
As circulation numbers dwindle, newspaper hacks who spent years at journalism school learning how to regurgitate what they're told are insanely jealous that bloggers can instantly communicate to millions with a laptop and a phone line.
The rules have changed Mr. Murphy and you are being replaced. People will not support newspapers that lie and twist the truth.
The fact that the 9/11 movement is being directly targeted by Popular Mechanics, the State Department and others is a benchmark of our progress.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win."

13-Aug, start time: 15:05, end time: 17:04 - Attendance: 170
The team from Serbia & Montenegro needed one set to get used to the Asian way of playing. They made many unforced mistakes in the first part and could not work out the Thai tactics, which resulted in their loss 16:25. They recovered their confidence in the second set, throughout which they kept up slight advantage and eventually won 25:22. In the third set the girls from Thailand struck back and at no stage allowed Serbia and Montenegro to gain any advantage. The team from Serbia and Montenegro was beaten by seven points. However the Balkan team did not want to acknowledge the loss and fought fiercely to win the next set. They accomplished the task beating the Thai team 25:20. Both teams fought ferociously for the victory in the tie break. The Asian team turned out to be better and beat the team from Serbia & Montenegro 15:13. Therefore, this match was for the Serbia & Montenegro team the last one in this Championship. Thailand goes through to the quaterfinals.


text: Gracie gets along with other dogs (as long as they don't jump on her) outside our home. My mom's puppy she has a HUGE amount of patience with. Turning her head from side to side, accepting licks. Only getting aggravated with her when she constantly jumps on her. Even then she warning growls or very rarely will snap, but purposely never comes in contact. We tried once to bring my mom's gsd(not the puppy, this was her dog before the puppy) over to our house. They had played together since Gracie was a puppy, always getting along. But we never brought her to OUR house only us going to theirs. We didn't try it until Gracie was grown. It was a definite fail, Gracie growled the entire time the gsd was there. We thought after that it would never work out with her and another animal in our house. The kittens we fostered lived in our bathroom. Until Zoey. We introduced them slowly, told Gracie how great she was when she was gentle and got on to her when she was too rough. Now Gracie tolerates Zoey,occasionally playing with her. When Gracie doesn't want to be bothered she will growl, Zoey has no idea what this means....so I intervene and get Zoey interested in something else. On a few occasions I didn't get there in time and rather than snap Gracie will move away from Zoey. The one time she did snap, again purposely no contact. Took me a lot of back story here but I needed to explain all of this (thank you for reading!!) We would like to try fostering puppies as well. Do you think Gracie would be ok with them as well? Is it just other grown animal's she won't tolerate in the house? Would a puppy be too active for her to be ok with?

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by Tammo, Feb 8, 2013.
WWW Honestly Nadal in 3
Forgot Poll. lol
chardy is playing well....didn't realize his clay record is his best....first meeting
I didn't realize his clay record was his best either. And he did well at the AO.
Vamos, Rafa. Watch out for the Chardy.
Chardy in straights.
Chardy is the first real test for Nadal. Very dangerous player and very Rosol-like at times. One thing Nadal has got going for him is Chardy's quite weak backhand. A good old lefty FH vs righty BH pounding is in the make. But if Chardy is able to perturb Rafa's gameplan, we might see a surprising result.
Come on Chardy. Play like Rosol please!
I think Nadal shook a bit of rust off last game. I dont see how he'd lose a set against Chardy.
Can we make this a meme on this forum from now on.
In a few months..
Nadal vs some Serbian bub
Nadal vs some Swiss bub
Nadal vs some Scot bub
Ur jinxing is getting old, we all know he is looking in good form and will win this in 2
Yes, I am enjoying this meme so far as well
Just plop him on your ignore list.
Russell Brand in 3...just becoz he probably has really kissed a girl, unlike Ralph!
Chardy is a far better player than Rosol! I'm expecting a very close match tonight as Chardy looks to be in great form and is hitting the ball far cleaner than Nadal.
PS what does a bub mean!?
Nadal vs some yank bub....early rounds of course
Hmm the first mini test for Nadal. But I still pick him in 3. He's still a lock for the title, his first loss will probably be against Ferrer/Almagro/Wawa in Sao Paulo/Acapulco
I hope he does. Rosol has barely won anything outside of Davis Cup (and that with Berdych's help) since that one match haters love when he had luck and Rafa's bad knees on his side.
You got to be joking if you can't tell the difference between grass and clay.
The first event Rafa played in 2006 (after his 2005 injury break) was Marseille and he lost in the semi but that was indoor hard. I believe he's gonna make both finals on clay (singles and doubles).
ETA: in 2009, he came back in Canada and lost in quarter to Delpo. Once again, if you think Nadal on hard = Nadal on clay, you haven't been paying attention.
his serve-FH combo can be lethal when he's on a good day...
may clarky be right !
What does any of that have to do with the fact that Chardy is a far better player than Rosol, which is exactly what I said, word for word.
It has to do with your implication that Chardy will give a tougher match to Rafa than Rosol could but once again, this is clay.
I never said Chardy would give Nadal a tougher match than Rosol did at Wimbledon. Go back and look at the posts. All I said was that he is a far better player than Rosol.
And if you actually look at the posts, I didn't even say Chardy will beat Nadal. I said it will be a close match and that I wouldn't be at all surprised if Chardy does beat him.
And for the record, I am well aware of the difference between grass and clay thanks
Chardy's forehand style reminds me of Soderling's. If he makes little unforced errors and stays aggressive and not let nadal stay too long in the rallies, he will beat Nadal.
Chardy could give Nadal some trouble. I'll be surprised if he actually wins, but not as surprised as I would have been, say, last year.
Chardy has the potential to hit Nadal off the court but I don't think he'll be able to sustain that level for an entire match. There will be a couple close sets and he may even take one but I don't see him being able to finish Nadal off by any means.
Chardy can be dangerous with his forehand but he has an average backhand (a very good slice though) so Nadal will exploit that. Nadal in 2.
This is very SLOW clay. Chardy's power won't bother Rafa at all. Who do you think will win if Federer played Rafa today instead of Chardy ?
I'm not "jinxing". Nadal is playing like garbage and will lose in straights.
And drop the text speak. You're not on your cell phone texting your buddies.
I don't think it's playing that slow. It doesn't matter anyway because with the way Nadal is moving any 3.0 mug could hit through him.
What ? You are saying Nadal isn't moving well ?? if he lost a step then he is toast. no way he can defend his French open title.
It says Nadal starts at 10 PM so is that 8 PM Est?
Difference is Soderling actually had a great backhand as well and wasn't prone to blasting 20 UEs in a row at times.
Federer... because Nadal is nowhere near his best.
But I think Nadal will beat Chardy 6-4 6-4.
Finally about to start, I thought it was 10pm GMT it started, been waiting 3 bloody hours!
Better watch out, I hear Chardy just got bumped up to 3.5.
Chardy is twice the player rosol is!
Chardy pummeling forehands...into the net with the lucky forehand managing to reach the service line.
I see that Rafa has been watching videos of me serving. Three doubles in one game.
Chardy is gonna get killed. Well he might lose about 6-2 6-3 if he's lucky.
Nadal cruising
Ang I thought Chardy is going to make this interesting. Look what believing in Clarky did to me............:twisted:
A sorry day for the 500 Charderer fans who dominate Talk Tennis on a daily basis.
Dude, why??? :lol:
Clarky has that effect on me ..........:twisted:
Wasnt there some idiot that said Nadal would lose in double bagels to anyone ranked 30 an dup?
not the best clay court they're playing on...
clay layer seems too thin.
Nadal's playing average but the french is producing utter rubbish
Too thin ? How did you know ? Serious question.
They're talking about this 16 yo Garin. Anybody seen him play ? Hope he's the new phenom.
No there is some idiot fan that didn't understand what I said, I said if he plays like the first match he would be double beagle, he is playing much better. I said last match already that that was the nadal I was expecting to see. This nadal shouldn't have problems winning, but he is still 80% and as I said at 80% this tournaments are a walk in the park for nadal, so try to get your fanaticism aside and read what people say.

Upton heads to 15-day disabled list
Strained left oblique sidelines D-backs outfielder until July 24
By Mike Ritter / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- D-backs outfielder Justin Upton was placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday night's game against the Dodgers at Chase Field. Upton has been out since July 9, when he strained his left oblique while taking batting practice in Washington. The move means Upton is eligible to come off the disabled list July 24, but D-backs manager Bob Melvin is unsure if he will be able to return that soon. "He just wasn't in a position last night even when we had him in the cage taking some tee swings where he couldn't let it go," Melvin said. "How long it will be I'm not sure." After getting off to a torrid start, Upton has cooled off, hitting .242 with 11 homers and 31 RBIs. Veteran first baseman Tony Clark, who was reacquired from the Padres on Thursday, replaces Upton on the 25-man roster.
