Agata Kiedrowicz, PURO Magazine editor-in-chief
I wish you courage to be who you want to be, for it always leads to happiness, not only yours, but also of those around you. Keep acting and changing! Be good to yourselves, give yourselves time and attention. Also, give yourselves presents everyday, remembering the words of agent Cooper from legendary Twin Peaks: "Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen". Even if it's just "a damn cup of coffee".
Anna Królikiewicz, visual artist, lecturer, PURO columnist
I wish you a promising New Year; may it fulfill its promises! Always carry Christmas Eve carp scales in your wallets (according to an old custom)–let them be a magnet for wealth! Shoals of wealth!
Kasia Pilitowska, journalist and manager of cultural life in Kraków
The most important thing is to be together with people we love, to sit with them around a table, and enjoy their presence and good food. That's what happiness stands for! And that's what I wish you in the upcoming year!
Zuza Mielczarek, designer, PURO correspondent from Rotterdam and the world
May the sun be as invigorating as it is in December and may the treasures be unique every day! A herring bathed in sunlight proudly looks into the future from the oldest object in my house–a 19th century plate once owned by my great-grandmother Irena Cichowska Korwin-Kamienska from Mogilev.
Asia Flisek, "our woman" in Wrocław, journalist
I wish you find time for simple pleasures, long walks with no specific destination, conversations with friends, and admiration of trivial things. At times, let your lives be frivolous and lightweight.
Marcin Markowicz, irreplaceable PURO translator, lover and teacher of American literature
Let 2017 be slow :) Be healthy, free, and happy. With whoever and however you want. May inspiring people and beautiful objects surround you every step of the way. Love and be loved. Find your own pace and your own path. Keep achieving! Create, teach, learn, smile, and make people smile!

LabAix introduces a new approach to instruction and learning built around games — serious games — called Websims. Players — students and trainees — will be actively interacting with dynamic models, deciding, acting, and seeing the immediate consequences of their actions. Professors, coaches and training sessions' animators will be able to achieve a successful transition from sage on the stage to guide on the side *
* King, A., 1993. From sage on the stage to guide on the side. College teaching, 41(1), pp.30-35.
Websims provide virtual environments in which students and trainees explore a number of issues, manipulate objects and perform experiments. Powered by game mechanics, they help achieve increased levels of engagement and a better understanding of complex issues.
Websims can be typically used in business and engineering schools — as well as in corporate universities — to teach key concepts such as finance, marketing and strategy (business administration application), or, to train new recruits on how to operate a system — a water treatment plant for example (engineering application).
Professors can request administrator accounts, which would allow them to setup new sessions, manage existing ones, and access a number of pedagogical resources. Administrator accounts will also grant them access to participants' results in real-time, providing a support for conducting after action reviews of what happened, why it happened, and how it can be done better.
LabAix provides innovative, web-based learning solutions for engineering and business applications.
Our services include:
» Rental of Websims.
» Animation of discovery-based learning sessions.
» Training of coaches on how to use our tools.
» Development of custom simulations.
» Design of smart, engaging, lectures.
For more information about any of our services, please feel free to contact us.

Town Square
Chuck Bernstein blasts Council on Ballot arguments
Original post made by really interesting, Menlo Park: Felton Gables, on Aug 16, 2010
Web Link
from Charles Bernstein, a candidate for Menlo Park council.
It starts with:
Please accept this letter as my vigorous objection to the
ballot language of the Argument For Measure T (Gateway
Project) and Rebuttal to Argument Against Measure T. While
the documents contain a number of distortions, they contain
one outright lie that must be removed.
continues with
That being said, the statement from the Rebuttal to
Argument Against Measure T that crosses the line into
absolute falsehood is the following:
"FACT: Menlo Gateway is projected to net … $600,000
annually for schools in Menlo Park."
This is a clear and blatant lie designed to counter the
valid argument against the project that the three
elementary school districts serving Menlo Park children
(Menlo Park, Las Lomitas, Ravenswood) will not get one
penny of property taxes or impact fees despite the
projection that their populations will grow as a result of
this project because all of those monies would be directed
to the Redwood City School District. If there is a
legitimate rebuttal to the opponents' claim, it should be
advanced. If not, a lie should not be a permissible
substitute, especially when made by former city council
members and other community leaders.
Serious charges for sure.
Mayor Cline and Kelly Fergusson were as I recall put in charge of writing the ballot arguments. They must be the responsible City officials along with City staff who wrote these.

When I talk about Minoan spirituality, people tend to recognize the names Ariadne and Dionysus, and maybe Rhea and Minos as well. But there's one that often leaves them shaking their heads: Amalthea. I actually had someone ask me one day if Amalthea was one of the characters from Game of Thrones. Um, no. LOL
Amalthea is a Minoan goddess who, like Ariadne and the others, was absorbed into later Greek myth as something less than divine (FYI the Minoans weren't Greek). But I promise you, she was originally a full-fledged goddess and not just a goat-herding foster mother of Zeus. In fact, you'll note that Zeus is a Greek god, not a Minoan one. Like the Romans, the Greeks enjoyed equating foreign deities with their own, both as a way to understand other pantheons and as a handy method for taking over those cultures and absorbing them. So when the Greeks say that Amalthea was the foster mother of "Cretan Zeus," they're talking about Dionysus, the Minoan god who is born in his mother Rhea's cave at the Winter Solstice. And Amalthea plays a role in that story.

text: Are you the parent of a child with special needs?Are you stressed out by the choices you're being asked to make about your child's therapy, education, and future? Does it feel as if most of your friends have no idea what your life is like these days? If this sounds familiar, there is help. You don't have to do this alone. My name is Sarah Birnbaum, and I am a parent advocate and special education advisor. As the parent of a child with special needs, I have been navigating this world for many years, learning the ins and outs of services and educational options in New York. I have gained a wealth of knowledge about therapists, agencies, schools, governmental bodies, and best practices in working with any of them. Whatever your stage of the journey — whether you have just called Early Intervention or you're looking at high schools — I can offer you help, information, and support. Will your child turn 3 in 2017? I am offering a free "Life After EI" workshop on Monday, February 13. This will be my final presentation of the 2016-17 school year on the CPSE transition. If you cannot come to my presentations but want to learn more about the kindergarten or preschool transition process, or if you have questions about your child's educational options in general, I welcome parents to set up an initial consultation call of up to 30 minutes at no charge. Please email me to schedule a conversation about Turning 5, the transition from EI to CPSE, finding a school that is a better fit, or anything else concerning your child's situation. |

A Teaching Handbook for Wiccans and Pagans: Practical Guidance for Sharing Your Path
Title: A Teaching Handbook for Wiccans and Pagans: Practical Guidance for Sharing Your Path
Author(s): Thea Sabin
Published 2012 by Llewellyn
Paperback, 309 pages
List: $16.95
View this Book on Amazon
Reviewer: Mike Gleason
It has been a number of years since I have read any of Thea's writings. In fact, it had been so long that, when I saw a quote from my review of her previous work, I had to go back and reread that review. As I delved into this latest work, my original opinion seems to have been more than borne out. I was impressed by her practicality at the time, and I am even more impressed by it at this time. If there is one thing sadly lacking in the field of Pagan education (after discounting the lack of uniformity) it is common sense. Thea supplies that in abundance.
This is a collaborative effort. Ms Sabin approached numerous teachers of Pagan topics - those who teach in-person; those who teach online; those who have been teaching for years; and those who are just starting out as teachers - on a variety of approaches, techniques and pitfalls. You know those things which are "needless to say...", she says them because since everyone knows them, we often forget to include them in our thinking and preparations. You know the kind of disaster I mean - you have all your media on a flash drive, but when you arrive at the location you discover that the files have been corrupted (or even worse, you grabbed the wrong flash drive)...how do you recover? Or you have that one student who seems bound and determined to wrest control of the class away from you...how do you deal with the situation?
One thing you have to give Ms Sabin is that she is thorough. She doesn't overwhelm the reader, but she also doesn't over-simplify things. She explores topics in depth and from a variety of angles. She includes personal anecdotes (both hers and others) to help the reader understand the point. She makes her point, and then reinforces it just enough to make sure it stays with the reader.
Throughout this book you get the feeling that she has been there and encountered that, regardless what "this" and "that" mean in any particular instance. She explains the benefits and pitfalls which await on the path of teaching. Then, just to make it all seem a little easier, she provides (in the appendices) a large selection of screening q uestions as a source of guidance for helping you avoid those students who just won't be a good fit for your group or style of teaching and a couple of sample syllabuses showing how to plan your classes. Naturally, she provides a listing of resources to help your own growth as a teacher - in a variety of formats from print to video classes and blogs. It is all wrapped up by a short bio of each of those individuals who contributed their own points of view and suggestions.
If you plan to teach classes on Paganism and/or Wicca; if you plan to run a group; if you want to work on interfaith groups, this is a book which will serve you well.

What is included? The Michalsons Compliance Programme features are extensive and are set out below. Read more about it and apply.
Events to participate in
- On joining, a once off readiness assessment and a private project strategy call with a Michalsons attorney and an expert in regulatory compliance projects who has extensive practical experience in getting the project done.
- Attend a full day face-to-face public Data Protection Awareness workshop in Joburg, Cape Town or Durban. If you have already attended the public one day workshop, we'll deduct the cost of it off your first invoice.
- Attend the bi-annual POPI Key Insights two-hour workshops for members only.
- Attend a weekly live webinar for members only hosted by a Michalsons attorney – either a Q&A session or covering some material. Sessions are live on Wednesday mornings and usually 60 minutes long. We record each session, share it with members and store it on the programme website. So, if you miss the live event, you can catch up in your own time.
An Implementation Plan
- Tools and guidance to do a risk assessment or gap analysis.
- A generic project plan template (also called a risk management plan) of what is going to be done by whom when, including a roadmap.
- A template to create Project Status Reports.
Community for common issues
A place for members to talk to each other – a forum for discussions about shared issues. A problem shared is a problem halved. Many people face the same challenges and there is no competitive advantage in detailing with them. Collaborating with others to solve the common issues makes a lot of sense, especially when our common goal is to protect people from harm.
Personal Support for specific issues
Access to a Michalsons attorney for up to two hours a month to answer questions (or deal with issues) specific to your organisation. We support you personally. It is like having a specialist subject matter expert on retainer. When you have a problem you just email us. If the answer is simple, we email an answer back fast. If the problem is more complex, we set a time to talk on Skype or phone. There is an additional charge for face-to-face meetings and unused hours do not carry over to the next month.
- Access to the programme website – the place housing all the programme material online.
- Access to the Practical Guide to Effective POPI Compliance in live html format.
- Access to a copy of the POPI Act and GDPR in live html format. Searchable, navigable and includes notes and comments by Michalsons.
- Electronic copies of all handouts for workshops, including a link to the latest Michalsons presentations.
- A List of Data Protection Laws.
- Videos, guides, visual aids and other materials.
- Alerts and updates on key developments by email.
- Summaries of any case law related to POPI and rulings by the Information Regulator.
- Templates that you can customise for:
- letters (like the appointment of an Information Officer),
- policies (like a privacy policy),
- spreadsheets (like a map of activities),
- presentations (or material or outlines to include in your presentations),
- training material,
- communications (like emails),
- briefings (like an executive briefing and a CEO briefing), and
- contract clauses (like operator clauses).
- A Data Protection Legal Framework (a part of the Michalsons IT Legal Framework).
- Tools (like self-assessments, legal checklists, an Overlap Matrix and Mappers).

Clonmel 1840-1900 - Anatomy of an Irish Town
by Seán O'Donnell
c.337 pp, illustrated
Hardback only
[ Out of Print ]
This book is a much-awaited addition to Tipperary's history. The launching represents a major event in the cultural life of Clonmel. This 400 page hardback new history is a necessary companion to Burke's history of Clonmel, published in 1907. Dr. O'Donnell takes up the story where Canon Burke left off and treats in great detail sixty years which were vital in the development of he modern town. Replete with maps and photographs, the eleven chapters have a four page prologue which summarises Clonmel's history from earliest times to 1840.
What will prove to be a popular section of this book is a fifty page appendix which profiles 300 leading Clonmel nineteenth century personalities. Another appendix gives the population of the town and of every townland in the hinterland at every census from 1841 to 1901.

In the Shade of Slievenamon - The Flying Column West Kilkenny 1916-1921
This book deals with the events of 1916 and the War of Independence in Kilkenny and the borderlands of the county with Tipperary, is an enlarged and revised edition of The Flying Column West Kilkenny 1916-1921 published in 1987.
The new title is an acknowledgement that much of the action described in the book took place within sight of the storied mountain. It is a much bigger book with some 340 pages compared to 210 in the earlier publication, and there are 150 illustrations many of which have never been published previously. New material has been added and chapters dealing with 1916 in Kilkenny and the famous by-election of 1917, in which W. T. Cosgrave won a key victory for Sinn Féin over John Magennis of the Irish Party, give a national context to the story.
There are also important new chapters on the role of the Kilkenny People newspaper and its editor, E.T. Keane, in articulating nationalist opinion post 1916, the beginnings of Sinn Féin in Thomastown, and a list with biographical details of all those connected with County Kilkenny who lost their lives in 1916 and the War of Independence. The detailed accounts of the military engagements of the Flying Columns with British forces, at Hugginstown, Ninemilehouse, Friary Street, Garryricken and Knocknagress, remain as the core of the book.

Hi all, a very interesting interview of John McEnroe about today's Tennis and FED new consecutive weeks new record (I took that from The Daily Telegraph...do not ask how) FEDERER V CONNORS Rivals must take fight to Federer With the Swiss set to break Connors' 30-year-old record, John McEnroe tells Mark Hodgkinson that today's players need to be nastier to become a threat. WHEN John McEnroe was in his fire-in-the-eyes, official-baiting prime, he probably could have started a fight on an empty Centre Court, never mind with a spluttering umpire and in front of a full house. The other Mr Competitive of the history books was Jimmy Connors, who once declared that "people don't seem to understand that it is damn war out there''. Related Topics Sports But, according to the tennis player formerly known as 'Superbrat', the modern generation have been too respectful, too restrained and simply too nice when playing Roger Federer. On Monday morning, Federer will have held the world No1 ranking for 161 consecutive weeks, breaking Connors' 30-year-old record. McEnroe also suggested that, unless all those chasing Federer manage to work their way into Federer's head, then there may be little to stop the 25-year-old staying there for at least another 161. What the others need, McEnroe suggested, was some Johnny Mac-style court rage or some Jimbo-inspired aggression. Perhaps - and McEnroe was only half joking when he said this - they should also try to find a way of "not liking Federer''. "I think that the current players are too respectful of Federer,'' McEnroe said. "He is a class guy. Maybe that's the problem, that it's difficult to find anything wrong with him. I don't think there's a guy in the locker room who doesn't like Federer. I don't think you could have made that same statement about me or about Connors and some of the other world No1s in the past. "Federer really likes to be out on the court, he enjoys being around tennis, he has time for people. He's got it all going for him. But Connors and myself, we would have somehow found a way not to like him. Federer is too nice a guy, but we would have come up with something.'' McEnroe believes he and Connors could have unsettled Federer, even if he thinks that Federer is quite possibly the greatest racket-swinger in history, and that Federer often looks as though he is just taking a quiet afternoon stroll through the Alps. "Federer seems pretty unflappable, but I think we have the sort of personalities which could have got to him. Guys like me and Connors, we would have tried to get under his skin, and showed him that we wanted it. That was the way we played - we would have made him work for it. We would have given him a real run for his money,'' said McEnroe, who is in Belfast this week as the BlackRock Tour of Champions is in the city for the first time, with the circuit culminating at London's Albert Hall in December. "The way Connors succeeded was that his mum, Gloria, told him it was him against the world. That was his attitude, and he was unbelievable at being able to pull that off. That 'him against the world' attitude fuelled him. "Federer seems to have come from a much more settled upbringing. He has a settled family; he's got the attitude of the typical Swiss guy who just seems to take it how it comes. But Americans are not like that. You look at Connors, and that was someone who would win at all costs.'' Until Federer became a grand slam champion for the first time, at Wimbledon in 2003, McEnroe indicated that there had been doubts about whether the young man from Basle had the mental fortitude to go with his obvious ball-striking gifts. "So it's pretty incredible that Federer was able to become this good,'' McEnroe said. "But inside Federer there's something which I and others probably hadn't noticed that much: a desire to win. In that way, Federer is like Pete Sampras. When Sampras started out, it was thought that he was a bit soft, and then he won 14 grand slams.'' Being too soft was never a charge you could have laid at Connors and McEnroe. But it takes all sorts on a tennis court. "When Federer started out, he wasn't doing what people expected, and wasn't winning, and then all of a sudden he made that breakthrough at Wimbledon in 2003 and he opened that door,'' McEnroe said. "Suddenly he really believed in himself and now he walks around as if he's the man. He's earned that. He says, 'Yeah, I'm pretty amazing', and the way he says it is sort of funny.'' McEnroe believes that if the other players cannot bring themselves to turn nasty and try to rough up Federer, the least they should do is scrap to the end and show him their will to win. "True, there's not a whole lot that you can't like about the guy,'' he said. "But there wasn't a whole lot that I didn't like about Bjorn Borg. When I played Borg he had this incredible aura about him, he just had a look and a feeling. But I think in that case because we were so different we actually brought out the best in each other. So it didn't have to get to that point where you hated the person, or disliked him. I never had a problem with Borg, but we used to go out there and play some really great matches. "It doesn't have to be that way that you hate the player. But you have to try to get to the other person - first and foremost that's the way that you play. But you have to also show your will. The effort you give, other players pick up on that. If no matter what, even if you lose, you're going to keep coming at the guy, you're still out there doing it, that's when you get respect from people.'' Should Federer win a French Open title, then McEnroe believes there will be no argument that the Swiss is the finest tennis player of all time, greater than Rod Laver (both McEnroe's and Federer's idol) and Sampras. "It's basically between those three guys - Laver, Sampras and Federer - and maybe you could put them in any order you want. Federer is sort of there already, but if he wins the French I would have to put him there as the best. I think it's more important for him to win the French than to beat the Sampras record of 14 grand slams. But we're talking about a pretty smart group of people. :-D "Federer is in a pretty good position already with the Sampras record. He's already got 10, and he's got every chance if he stays healthy of breaking the record. The way he's going, if he doesn't get any injuries, he could win another six or eight. "There are some young guys coming up, guys like Andy Murray, who could come into the mix in the next few months. They are hopefully going to have something to say about it. At the moment, apart from when it's on clay and Rafael Nadal is playing, it seems that Federer is going to win everything.'' Breaking the Connors record is yet another indication that the Federer Express will take some stopping. "If there were still any questions about whether he was one of the all-time greats, when he hits marks like the Connors record you realise again just how great he is,'' McEnroe said. "It shows his dedication and his commitment to fitness - he is a fitter guy than you realise, mentally and physically. So there are a lot of things that he has had to maintain for a long time, and that's impressive. He's obviously heads and tails above everyone else.'' So how would a youthful McEnroe, with all his attacking brio and clever-clever tennis, have fared against Federer? "I think I had the type of game which you need if you are to have success against him. I think you need to attack him and put pressure on him, and that's my game. And I would have tried to get under his skin,'' McEnroe said. "But, sadly, I wouldn't have done real well against Federer. He is just an unbelievable player.'' So maybe animosity and trash-talking only go some of the way. As John McEnroe is in Belfast this week, it is the first time that the American, who has Irish ancestry, has played competitive tennis in Ireland since the American Davis Cup team played there 24 years ago, winning 4-1. The BlackRock Tour of Champions culminates at London's Albert Hall in December (theblackrockmasters.com). (c) 2007 Telegraph Group Limited, London
What a great article; thanks ! I completely agree and have been saying this for awhile. There are zero players that seem pissed off at him for being champion. Too many guys write off a victory as 'Well, he is the better player'. They seem just happy to get to the final and concede victory. Like Connors of old lore saying he'd never admit to the other guy being better after being spanked. I think the only player at this time willing to get pissed off is Andy Roddick and that is really a matter of Federer's 13 and 1 ownage of him. But I don't think Roddick has the game to beat him. Meanwhile, a player like Blake is 'just happy to be playing'.
He is taking himself (a very very bad spoilt arrogant sportsman) and Connors as examples, and generalizing. Pete was not like that. Neither was Agassi. And both were probably better than McEnroe and Connors. Budge or Tilden were not like that. Roddick and Blake are not like that today. Plus, you cannot get away with that kind of behavior these days.
I was a fan of both Connors and McEnroe in those good old bad old days, and I suppose it was their refusal to lay down and die that was part of the attraction. However, they got beaten plenty of times, despite their attitude, so it's not the be all and end all of how to win (as Mac himself admits). And, flipping it on its head, I daresay Federer likes most people off court (one or two exceptions, possibly ), but it doesn't stop him being completely ruthless with them when he gets them on the other side of the net. I'm sure it's not because they think he's a real sweetie pie that makes them consistently lose.......
Roddick is a bit like this; bad tempered and whiny. Agassi was in his younger days but matured. Pete was stoic. But face it, Ill take Mac generalizing anyday over speculation from other sources; he's there, been there, done it, doing it. It's not like he's making **** up I think his point is, someone has got to get mad about it. Someone has to get hungry and pissed off. All of this boring, wimpy graceful tennis isn't working. Tennis needs the personality and rivals back. And as nice and classy as Federer is; he still makes those comments: It's just unreal, I'm shocked myself. I've played good matches here, but never really almost destroyed somebody. It's a match for him to forget and for me to remember. This is probably my most dominant grand slam victory and it's already my 10th in such a short period of time. I amazed myself. You can't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament. No, I'm not (disappointed). There's no reason to be because I'm on an incredible run. You always expect a loss once in a while. So when it happens, why be disappointed if I win over 90% of my matches. I think Roger hides behind that stupid smile and a sort of faux graciousness; inside he's thinking 'Feck all them biatches. I am the greatest.' You gotta appreciate Nadal's lack of fear and total aggro approach to Roger; meanwhile players like James Blake are practically sucking him off.
You have to be strong mentally,( ala Connors) get on the court with Fed and have the attitude that I'm going to beat you. The only current players that have this aura are- Murray & Nadal IMO.
Everyone is getting crazy with that one Murray match.I hope Fed meets Murray again, so he can spank him.I think Nadal's ready to be taken to the woodshed ala Hewitt.Fed just has all the goods for the players off today.I think the players are respectful but it doesnt mean crap when u are on the court with the guy and he is bashing the ball left and right.
Yes it is just a great interview: John was a great player but an horrible competitor (his behaviour was just Cr@p) but as a Tennis expert he is awesome IMO. Said that, well I found this article interesting for at least two reasons: 1. John is just too human: I mean clearly this guy is referring to his young age with some nostalgia and therefore he is thinking that his way of "fighting" during the match is still a valid strategy nowadays... But John is making a mistake: Today's players cannot use his (Connors') ultimate battle strategy simply because the public would not allow to. I do not believe for a sec that nowadays a player is free to follow a "nasty" approach during the match to de concentrate his opponent: the guy would be destroy not by his opponent but by the spectators. Today's Tennis players are under such a pressure from the media, from a very strict shedule that they do not fully control and so on and so forth. Moreover, they are obliged to constantly polish their image, mainly for sponsor reason: So really I do not see the "be nasty' strategy possible to be realized as it was at the time of John and Connors. 2. What is the best strategy then to beat FED given that the nasty strategy is no more available? Well Nadal was able to illustrate some interesting ideas on that domain: The main one is based on speed and physic. If there is something I am quite sure about FED is really that he does not like (BUT REALLY at all) being pass after either a (quite) long rally or (in his views) perfect approach to the net B) ... IMO to beat him it is not just a question of destroy his rhythm or better prevent entering in a rhythm...It is more a question of constantly surprise him by using (mainly) a fantastic court covarage in particular when you are accepting his rhythm (IMO perfect example the fifth set in Rome by Nadal and his behaviour in the two match points by FED). PS Nick Irons : Concerning FED's sentences well simply FED is a champion a winner (a real one)..He has the ego just proportional to his achievement. I do not have any problems with that simply because he is able to back his sentences with facts, i.e. victories...I prefer 10000000 times this than "I am closing the gap" and then be destroyed in a semi of a GS without having a single chance to win.
I agree; and like Mac says 'He's earned the right' Like Jordan holding up Three fingers or Ali saying 'I'm the greatest!' but you know it pissed the other guys off.
Hewitts "me against the world" attitude does him a LOT of good against Federer. Histrionics can only take you so far, no matter who you are.
Histrionics are one thing ... believing you can win, another altogether. I don't think Hewitt believes. Roddick stopped believing early against Federer at the AO semifinal. I remember after Roland Garros last year, Wilander named Connors as a guy who had "balls." He said he wasn't sure if Federer could beat Connors. Not sure how I feel about this myself. It's not so hard to go INTO a match believing you can win (Roddick certainly did that last time) ... much harder to maintain that attitude throughout a match when your opponent is making you look like a lost and helpless child.
Jimbo was a tough customer. When he was really annihilated by Borg and McEnroe at Wimbledon in 78 and 84, he came back to put up a strong challenge at the USO in both years. Sometimes if a boxer takes a hard punch or is knocked out, he will be intimidated, and not be the same fighter as before. But Jimbo came back from big lows to new heights, even late in his career. Even after Lendl had beaten him 60,60, he came back for some more.
I didn't say he is making it up. He is right about himself and maybe about Connors. But he ignores others past and present. So, I don't see him as being right and other speculators as being wrong - he is just focusing on 2 people. Agreed Agassi had his tantrums and Roddick too. Now with electronic line calling, the motivation for this has reduced, something that JMac never mentioned. Also I think it is one thing to occasionally fight with the umpire and smash a racquet, and another to do it all the time at calculated moments to disrupt your opponent. If that is Mac's idea of tennis, then all I can say is: good riddance. Hopefully he will be out of the senior tour too next year (where he has been equally obnoxious). There is only so much credit you can give him for his patriotic Davis Cup play (which he reminds everyone all the time), before the goodwill expires.
I don't think his mental warfare approach would work. It didn't work against Lendl or Borg, in terms of winning matches by getting under their skin, so why would it work against Fed? I think deep down inside Fed is a bit of a "*******," and I mean that in a good way. Unlike Lendl, who might just peg Mac with a forehand, or Borg, who genuinely didn't seem to care or notice, I think Fed would be having the time of his life watching a player completely lose it on court.
Oh boy, are you kidding me? Did you watch Chang vs Lendl? Lendl completely melted because Chang refused to give up despite cramping legs that would cripple most of us. The guy stood at the center of the T when Lendl was serving for crying out loud. It worked too.
No, I'm not kidding. Did Mac have some sort of edge over Lendl based on him mentally intimidating him? I agree Lendl got spooked by Chang, but that's one incident involving an injury, not calculated gamesmanship. Yes or no, Mac was able to get wins off Borg and Lendl by mentally messing with them.
See, this draws a contradictory response from the TW members. On one hand, people are talking about bringing attitude/mental aggression to the game. On the other, people complain about players using gamesmanship as a unsportmantslike thing to do. And especially with female players who often play mind games with each their opponents as well as combat/intimidate refs and air out their emotions. In any case, McEnroe is speaking to the role of gamesmanship within a match. And it seems to be more missing in the men's game today than anytime else in the last 30 years.
^ I would like to see more antics in ATP tennis. I would like to see guys showing personality, physically expressing what they're feeling inside. Just don't think gamesmanship would work on Federer. I think it would work against Blake, Roddick, Hewitt, and Safin, and most other players to some extent or another, but not Federer. And others, it might affect, but it would just make them better, i.e. Nadal.
Yeah, it's something I actually enjoy about the women's game. And often they truly use this random displays of emo as a way to intimidate their opponent across the court. It's one thing for Safin to throw his racket; it's another for McEnroe to effectively suck out his opponent's momentum by taking the game hostage. And it could be subtle things. How, like Sharapova forces her opponent to serve according to when she's ready. Or how Nadal takes "absent minded" long breaks and bounces the ball a 1000 times before serving. Okay, well, that latter thing is really irritating. In any case, I love when Hewitt and Nadal charge themselves. I know people find it annoying (and I'd be really pissed off if somebody did that on a neighborhood court), but to me it works against a public audience. I actually don't think Federer's exceptional in the mental strength category. In my opinion, a player is mentally very strong if he can hold his serve fairly well even when unable to break his opponent. Fed seems to switch to that higher gear mostly when he's already out in front.
Although I don't agree with the whole "get angry" during a match, it would be nice for a change for Federer's opponents to keep on fighting rather then fold over into the fetal position for a change.
Totally. It's like life in general -- girls at the top become really catty and competitive, whereas guys just like to get along. I like how the girls talk poop about each other in press conferences. I would love to hear a player before a finals say "I'm going to destroy him... I've never wanted to win a match so badly in my life." A reason why I can see guys NOT saying this is because tennis is such a mentally torturous sport, maybe they just don't want to add any mental pressure to themselves. I can do without girls' bathroom breaks, though. I cut them some slack because it may be a feminine issue, but undoubtedly a lot of those breaks is simply to disrupt momentum or mess with an opponent's head in some way. I like that, too. I can see why a player would get annoyed when Hewitt yells on a double fault, but as a fan, that just adds drama. Great sport is improvised dramatic theater. Same reason why people got more into the tour de france after Lance had cancer. Two guys playing tennis, could be boring, but if somebody tells you that the loser has to wrestle a bear naked, all of the sudden it becomes more interesting even if they're 3.0 players. A telling sign is how Federer always says he's most dying to play the person who beat him last, or Nadal in the finals of clay or something. He's incredibly sure of his talents and, at the same time, I think he's just as curious and intrigued by his abilities as we are and wants to see what he's capable of in the more extreme situations. Against a total nut case, I think he would love to prove that their antics have absolutely no affect on him, and I even think he would find subtle ways to encourage it and after the match, in the interview, he would probably say he loves the guy and that he's a great character and good for tennis. That's what I think.
True, but I think it's a unfair characterization too. Take out Federer, and the #2-20 players do battle it out. For example, let's say Federer was actually able to return Sampras's serve as well as Hewitt did at times. If that were the case, and he was able to break Sampras every set, what would that have done to Pete's mindset? This kinda goes back to the different mindset between Fed and Sampras. Sampras was all about imposing his will on you, to play such a well-honed expression of his style that you would be awestruck by his power and elegance. And, so, in a sense, Sampras's reign as champion exemplifies the greatness of his pure game over his opponent. Federer is about breaking the will of his opponent. About taking apart your game, and maybe making you either abandon your Plan A, or make you almost catatonically rigid about your Plan A. Like against Gonzo, he actually took on Gonzo's mighty FH and defended it consistently. And in doing so, brought him out of his original plan, which let Fed start opening fire in later sets. Fed's domination reveals again and again the flaws of the modern game. You can even see some of both dynamics in their sole H2H. When Sampras was on, you saw the brilliant service, some of that handdog determination, most of all, you saw a person who was clearly not at his peak resources still play big. When Fed was on, you often picked up how slow Sampras was to get/react to the net, or how he simply had no answers for some of the extreme angles Fed was putting on his FH. Or as commentators said, Sampras saw something like a mirror image of his younger self in that match, which is to say that Fed was showing how far Sampras was from his true peak performance of earlier years. Very different interpretations of classical, all-court tennis. Sampras learned the weapons to demonstrate a completeness, even an aesthetic continuity, in his victories. He'll beat you with his big game; that is, he will beat on you. Fed's learned strategies, developing his weapons within strategic context, in order to "not lose." It's just that he's taking "not losing" to such a granular level, that it would involve not losing individual points, let alone sets. Blocks everything, defends like crazy, uses a mixture of point construction and unpredictable spin-pace patterns to move the guy out of position, plays more conservative in the beginning to see what his opponent is giving him. Most of all, he reacts very acutely to his own unforced error count. It's almost claylike but with brilliant insights into defense-offense transitioning.
For the umpteenth time, don't let your preconceived notions cause you to draw idiotic conclusions. If you only listened to the whole interview, you would have found that Federer was in fact playing down the significance of the Roddick massacre. He mentioned, essentially, that it was "just one of those magical days" and that Roddick can forget the match and not read too much into it. That statement is almost the very definition of a "nice and classy" response. Context is everything. Try being a little attentive next time. I'm not implying that Federer is a p-aragon of virtue. He has his requisite egoistic moments. But it is stupid to twist somebody's words so that they fit your warped conclusion. Oh. Just watch Kobayashi eat a hot dog, if that helps. Or perhaps, a bunch of macho specimens wearing dark glasses and playing poker on a table. Zero wimpiness. All red-blooded aggression . [Funny that TW censors the word p-a-r-a-g-o-n ]
It's so easy for retired guys to say that players of their era were mentally stronger. Hewitt has lots of attitude, and to his credit at least took a set off FEd at USO after getting 2 bagels the year before, but c'mons dont win matches. Everyone knows Fed is a level above virtually anyone in history (leaving aside for the moment Sampras, Laver, and a select few), so naturally he intimidates guys who cant hold a candle to him. Where's the mystery?
Exactly. Players are intimidated by the sexy and classy and overpowering Williams gals when they are in peak form. It does not mean they lack mentally and competitively. It is the same with the Fedster and the other guys. He is so much better then anyone who is not one of the real GOATs that of course they are going to feel super intimidated by him. It just means they have a brain, and they were not able to hire a hypnotist.
i think jmac really speaks for himself, not connors. players today are to rich and few have a standard as being #1 though.
I think connors will support Mac's statements. Hopefully he will comment ... I would like to see more of todays players get pumped and really try to attack Fed with some more aggressive tennis and attitude. Atleast Roddick is trying to play allcourt against Fed without much success. It just not natural for him or most of todays players but they can not beat Roger from the baseline. Id like to see a player play a game like Dent with an attitude like Hewitt. That could really add some more excitement to todays tennis.
Perhaps the players are concerned their fate may be worse if they pissed Federer off! On a serious note, gamesmanship may work if both players are evenly matched. The gap between Federer and the rest is just too big now. Without saying, not having a defeatist attitude against Federer is a must, and I believe improving their overall game, especially for those up and coming players, is still the way to go.
sexy? ummm.. anyways, i have this to say about the matter. it seems to me that in tennis, when it comes to mental attitudes, cooler beats cool. before you start throwing examples of goran or others breaking raquets while winning tournaments, i want to point out that these incidents are just ways to vent out frustration (which helps keep cool). during the point itself i believe that even goran keeps a clear focused mind. even in my personal experience, i find myself performing better by just keeping my chin up, and staying calm. ofcourse i give 100% effort in the point, but i don't juggle "motivating" thoughts in my head when i'm trying to focus. conclusion: to beat fed you need to match his game(i don't think he is THAT much better than everyone else) and beat his focus/cool. persistance! so who will be the one?
Interesting point. Since his reign 2003, his mental strength was never really tested except by Safin and Nadal. From those 4, 5 setters with Nadal and Safin, he actually showed that he might not be mentally strongest player out there. And the Federer's serve. In a closely contested set like 6-6, his serve often gets broken and he relys on his return game to break back. It's somewhat insecure thing, if you know what I mean. Federer relys on return game heavily... Becker said something like "5th set is about the desire" but it helps if you have huge shots like Becker's or Sampras' serve at the end of 5th set. By the time you reach the end of 5th set, you have used and tried all the varieties and there is no surprise. Your desire and bottom line only. I'm not sure Federer's accuracy serve can hold it value at the end of 5th set..
Sampras lost many more sets than Federer at his peak, when he got broken he lost the set. And Federer has a better tiebreak record than Sampras, so you don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, it's something I actually enjoy about the women's game. And often they truly use this random displays of emo as a way to intimidate their opponent across the court. It's one thing for Safin to throw his racket; it's another for McEnroe to effectively suck out his opponent's momentum by taking the game hostage. And it could be subtle things. How, like Sharapova forces her opponent to serve according to when she's ready. Or how Nadal takes "absent minded" long breaks and bounces the ball a 1000 times before serving. Okay, well, that latter thing is really irritating. In any case, I love when Hewitt and Nadal charge themselves. I know people find it annoying (and I'd be really pissed off if somebody did that on a neighborhood court), but to me it works against a public audience. Maybe you should check Federer's tiebreak record in the last couple of years. A clear sign of mental strength.
Yeah, I want to be careful with the wording here. When I say Federer is not exceptional in mental strength, I'm saying he's not a Sampras, Connors, or Borg in the way they impose their will on a game. A guy like Nadal seems at times emotionally impervious to the scoreboard; he's a counterpuncher in the most mental sense of the word. Most pros play much better up a break. Most players will wilt if they can't break their opponents. Sampras built his whole strategy on this very thing. But it's also divergence in tennis philosophy. Federer's game is about taking away your game. If he can't do that to you -- and usually it's because he can't control his skillset -- you can keep playing with him. People always say that his competition is mentally weak, but he's actually trying to destroy your game. At Oz, he took on Gonzo's FH strategy and was able to successfully defend Gonzo's shots, which NOBODY else could do. He took on Roddick's inside-out to Fed's BH strategy, and traded DTL shot after DTL shot until Roddick went into a strange tunnel vision. Like he looked so confused out there that he mentally locked into Plan A when it was already failing. It's just that if you play in this manner, you must have very fine control of your own abilities. That is, he doesn't take the stance of "I must outhit Federer" or "I must play my game to the 100%") (which is what 99% of all other opponents try against Federer. Instead, he thinks "If I know myself (i.e. have complete control of his game), I can know my opponent's game and expose it." Federer has arguably the best defensive game and inarguably the best transition game. In a tiebreak, those elements create significant leverage. I actually think Federer's mental strength is perhaps the weakest part of his game. With that said, that element is well above average for a top-50 player, especially given the cerebral intricacy of his game.
It just shows FED is human. He'll lose, but lose a close 5-set match. I don't know about relying on his return game heavily, but I do know he's got a very good ratio in tie-breaks. Unfortunately, FEDs winning in 3 or 4 sets, so he needs to be taken to more 5-setters to determine that.
"and that Federer often looks as though he is just taking a quiet afternoon stroll through the Alps". That was funny he he.
I think a lot of you misunderstand what Mac means by gamesmanship, or you may not have seen him play much. His gamesmanship covered a lot of territory, some it of over-the-top(arguments, etc) & some of it subtle. He played the game to his own pace better than any player in history. It wasn't like Nadal where he was in danger of getting time violations, it was very calculated & used not on every point, but at appropriate times to rattle opponents. This would get under the skin of his opponent, without Mac directly breaking any rules. It could consist of him holding up his hand, when a player was on a roll & ready to serve, him taking a walk to back the court, towelling off, tying shoelaces, etc. And he intimidated linesman as well, without arguing just by looking at them constantly, etc. Or taking an extra second to stare at a line when he's about to swing, thereby getting a late line call in his favor sometimes. An as far as his tantrums, its well documented that he played better after most of them. They weren't a sign of him "losing it" but a way to throw his opponent off & for him to regroup mentally(like a timeout) Don't forget, he would often not just argue with the umpire, but demand that the supervisor come out(which would take a while) & then argue some more(knowing fully well he wasn't going to get any point overturned) It would often be a full 10 minute break in play, which would annoy even the most stoic guys. This was no different than injury timeouts in the womens game(sometimes men) today & we've seen examples of that working. and don't forget these tantrums, arguments, could get the most genteel tennis crowd riled up to davis cup levels, that sort of crowd involvement doesn't exist today, players aren't mentally equiped to deal with tennis crowds acting like nfl crowds. this was from last summer(pre Roddick) Tennis Week: Are you in accord with all the other tennis experts and legends of the game who believe Federer could be on his way to become the best ever? Jimmy Connors: Well, what does that mean, 'best ever'? I mean, best ever of this time. And the best ever, is that a...how do you figure out what the "best ever" is when you haven't played against...I haven't played...I didn't play Laver in his prime. I didn't play Pete in his prime. He didn't play me in my prime. McEnroe didn't play Gonzales in his time. So how do you know what the "best ever" is? I think a lot depends on who you're brought up with, what kind of rivalries you've had, and who you played along the way, that's gotten in your way from winning. I mean, if I was Federer, I'd be very pleased with the position that he's in. Because his counterparts seem to be feeling that they're happy enough just to tag along on the number one's tail [smiles]. And so instead of stepping up and putting forth the right kind of effort, to try and overtake him and beat him and move him down, as opposed to just let him run away with it. I wish I would see more of that. http://www.sportsmediainc.com/tennisweek/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=15282 This sounds a lot like most boxing analysts when comparing greats. I never hear people say Frazier or Ali couldn't compete with Klitchko & the other 'modern' fighters of today, like I do with tennis.
Roddick is 1-13 against Fed...you stated "Roddick has the game to beat him"....thanks for the laugh. I have had a boring day.
Hate to break it to you, but Pete and Andre were not that close. Agassi and Sampras had a lot of respect, but Pete LOVED pounding on Andre. There was no love between them. I am not saying they weren't buddies or friendly, but neither treated each other on the court like today's pro treats Fed...like KING.
I like your post. That was hitting it on the button, albeit in a very ¨open¨ manner. But 90 to 95% of the people in here are in love with the guy so you´re gonna get a fair beating in here for that honest and correct statement. I thank Nadal for keeping tennis from being the Federer invitational except from clay. This monotonous winning is killing the sport and would kill any sport. But there something to that fake modesty you said, that little smirk on his face is something I´d like to see wiped out. I´ve seen Nadal do it 4 times last year and that look on his face after those losses are priceless. But funny when you mentioned how some people are fine with losing to him and are too nice on court against him with seemingly no will to win Blake´s face popped up immediately in my head. At least Roddick wants to beat him badly, but unfortunately his game is suited perfectly to Roger´s strengths.
ok ya! why do soo many people think that federer is unbeatable! yes he is the greatest tennis player in the world! or he will be! but then there is this guy that has a winning record over federer! his name is RAFA nadal! he not only beat him on clay but also hard and took a set off of him on grass too! doesnt that kinda say that rafa is better then federer? maybe maybe not! but for sure no body knows they just assume just like me! say all you want this is just an opinion!

I successfully created one wbfs partition with USB loader on my wii. Afterwards I could access the partition also via the windows tools. Then I moved the wbfs partion on my USB HD from the beginning to the end iwth Acronis Disc Director, because the FAT32 partion was not visible for some wii apps like MPlayer CE. Afterwards the USB Loader on my Wii still can still access the wbfs partion, also loading and installing games works but all windows tools/guis give me the error hd num sector doesn't match: No error Since I have already installed some games I don't want to reformat the partition but I want to use the windows tools to access the partition. Any idea how I can 'fix' this problem?
Try to reformat the parttion, this should get rid of the poblem. You will lose your installed games however. Next time, try to make a new topic instead of digging up an ages old topic..

Sipping whiskey out of the bottle is one way you can forget about the worries of tomorrow and live in the moment. However, if you still want to remember your evening, it is best to pour the whiskey into a glass and follow it up with a chaser beverage from another glass.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Whiskey
- 2 glasses
- Ice
- Chaser beverage
Show More
- 1
Open the bottle of whiskey. Fortunately whiskey does not require a special bottle opener to get into, or a corkscrew. The top should twist right off, just like the cap on a soda bottle.
- 2
Pour a small amount of whiskey into a glass. If you want the whiskey to be cold, add a few ice cubes.
- 3
Prepare a beverage to chase the alcohol with in a second glass. If you are not accustomed to drinking straight alcohol, it is a good idea to prepare a drink known as a "chaser" to follow your whiskey. Coke, soda water, water or ginger ale pair well with whiskey.
- 4
Drink your whiskey and immediately follow it with your chaser beverage.
- 5
Drink as much of the chaser as you wish to alleviate the taste of the whiskey.
Tips and warnings
- If you are sharing a bottle of whiskey with a friend, place your thumb between your mouth and bottle opening to keep your saliva out of the bottle.
- Drinking too much alcohol can result in alcohol poisoning, a condition that can cause neurological damage or even death. Unlike mixed drinks, it is difficult to measure how much you have drank when it comes straight from the bottle. When drinking alcohol straight from the bottle, keep track of how much you are consuming to avoid alcohol poisoning.

Thanks for considering a Vacasa home!

Vacasa began in 2009, simply because our founder and CEO Eric wanted to find a better way to share his wife's family's summer home in Long Beach, Washington with guests as a vacation rental. Eric and his early team worked to build Vacasa on the premise that local employees can do what they love most (taking care of guests, homeowners, and properties), while the hands-off tasks of vacation rental management—things like marketing, filing taxes, and maintaining a website—could be handled by a specialized central support team.
Our passion is connecting travelers with the unique experience of staying in a vacation home, and we would be honored to be your host. Please contact us with any questions about this home—our team is standing by!

YouTube video of UFO "fleet" over London goes viral (with video)
The headline: UFOs seen in London skies: viral video spotlight
The link: http://beta.news.yahoo.com/ufos-seen-london-skies-viral-video-spotlight-104311550.html
The summary: A viral video has appeared on YouTube supposedly showing a fleet of UFOs and their mothership hovering over London recently.
The reaction: It's a fun video to watch but it smells of hoax.
Like the article suggests, I wonder if this is part of some promotional campaign or is the product of some kid and his computer. Just look at the video or more importantly listen to the people taking this video. They don't seem particularly in awe, surprised, scared or show any emotion I imagine I would if I suddenly saw a fleet of UFOs flying right over my head. I imagine the truth will come out shortly.
Check it out for yourself…

Skeptic. If they were that high up they wouldn't appear to be moving that fast (to us). Like when you see an airplane in the sky. It appears slow from the ground. Second, they wouldn't need to move around that much because they could see absolutely EVERYTHING from that height and wouldn't need to go back and forth like that so it's stupid. Third…if they were that high up……unless they're freakin' miniature……and if you've ever seen the earth from satellite view, they wouldn't be able to "hide" behind clouds. I have many other issues with the video.
I think it's a bunch of crap.-

But what if they have super space technology or something? I've seen movies! I know what spaceships can do!
