Yang being blessed with wisdom to lead the U.S. into a more promising tomorrow.
I shall give to you, my audience, a story of great significance. An uprise that shall not be forgotten. The end to the shackles put upon us by the oppressors. The Tale of Andrew Yang.
We begin our epic in Schenectady, NY on January 13, 1975, where a small boy was born to bring upon a utopia of our society. This boy's name was Andrew Yang. The legend who was destined to tame the rise of automation, and free the people from their hopeless situation riddled with unemployment and poverty. A situation with perils so dangerous only Andrew Yang could take on the quest of drafting.
If we look to the humble begins of Andrew the Mighty. A kid who lived a nerdy early life in New York of course with an intelligence so unhinged it can not be contained with a mere number (our sources have estimated an IQ of 215+). Even with this mass intellect, Yang was still tormented by the bullies of his school days, but with an unbroken spirit, he pronounced "I'll show you! One day I shall be a successful entrepreneur and even president. Then I'll kill all of you and hide the bodies." Okay, wait not that last part. Then Yang went off to do bigger and better things.
Yangis went forth to be granted two holy scriptures: a degree from Columbia Law School and another from Brown University. These scriptures instantaneously gifted knowledge to Yangis and made him, quite frankly, better than other people. Yangis, after gaining these holy scriptures, began a career as a corporate lawyer. After it had come to Yangis' realization that he would have to sacrifice ethics for money, he ventured into entrepreneurship.
First, Yangious had to find the knowledge as to how he could create a business. He trekked far and wide to find someone from whom he could gain this imperative knowledge. After this journey, he eventually found the individuals who would satisfy the his desires of wisdom…in a healthcare startup. After being granted this wisdom, Yangious went off to step two of three. Start a business.
Yangiousol had formed a company to educate this country's people, rising to the top along the way and becaming the number one education company in America. Venture for America was the ship, and Yangiousol was its captain. Rather than becoming a pirate and pushing down the American people, Yangiousol sailed forth across the sea of entrepreneurship and gifted to other sailors of this ocean the power of knowledge. These accomplishments did not go without recognition. The previous leader of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama II even honored Yangiousol with the title of "Champion of Change" in 2012. After this quest had been completed Yangiousol set his ship to a new horizon, also known as step three.


This blog post tells you 10 things about the Dyslexia Scotland Adult Network, and 10 ways I benefit from it.
1. What is the Adult Network?
A network of 3 support groups for dyslexic people in Scotland aged 18 and over. The groups meet in Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
2. Who coordinates the groups?
Stirling and Glasgow: a Dyslexia Scotland volunteer.
Edinburgh: a Dyslexia Scotland staff member.
3. When and how often do the groups meet?
Stirling: Saturdays 11am – 4.15pm, 4 times a year.
Glasgow: Monday evenings 6:30 – 8:30pm, 10 times a year.
Edinburgh: Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, 4 times a year.
Yes. Network members are asked to value everyone's right to privacy by not disclosing personal details of others outwith the meetings.
The network coordinator, guest speakers, or Network members.
6. How many people attend meetings?
Usually between 10 and 20.
7. What happens at meetings?
Presentations, workshop activities, group discussion, informal chat and drop-ins.
8. What are the learning aims of the Network?
No. Dyslexia Scotland has funding to cover the cost of room hire.
10. Do all 3 groups ever meet up?
Yes, there was a meeting in June in Stirling for all 3 groups. Another all-network meeting is being planned for June 2018.
I enjoy it! It always makes me feel positive and uplifted.
It gives me a safe space to articulate and share experiences with people who have had similar experiences.
It gives me a fuller understanding of dyslexia and other Specific Learning Difficulties. This lets me see where I fit in the context of the adult dyslexia community. It also helps me understand and support my dyslexic adult peers better. And it means I am better informed for talking to others about dyslexia.
It makes me feel stronger and more confident in my ability to cope as a dyslexic adult.
I can attend without signing up publicly because the communications are distributed by blind-copied mailing list.
It makes me feel normal because everyone else in the room is a dyslexic adult.
It lets me help other dyslexic adults by sharing tips and my experience. This gives me confidence.
It's good to talk to other dyslexic adults because they make adjustments without me having to ask. For example, if I forget what I was going to say, they help me remember and understand if I don't manage to.
It makes me feel hopeful and confident about dyslexic adults' ability to support themselves and each other.
The Dyslexia Scotland Adult Network provides a unique form of support for dyslexic adults in Scotland. It has let me grow personally and professionally in ways that nothing else has. I warmly recommend it to dyslexic adults as a chance to learn, feel part of a group, and help others.
By an anonymous adult member of Dyslexia Scotland.
We live in more 'dyslexia aware' times. We must be grateful for this, but not complacent. Only when every child's learning needs are assessed and the appropriate teaching strategies for each child are identified and in place can we say that the rights of the dyslexic child have been recognised.
Part of the increase in dyslexia awareness has been due to the number of dyslexic adults who have 'come out' about their dyslexia. The impact of dyslexics in the public eye who talk about their dyslexia must not be underestimated. Susan Hampshire's book Susan's Story: an autobiographical account of my struggle with words was trailblazing. (The cover, and the cover page of the book, had each 'S' inverted, like it would have been in Susan's handwriting.) Also significant was the Kara Tointon TV documentary Don't Call Me Stupid. Both Susan Hampshire and Kara Tointon discussed the humiliation they felt during their schooldays, their yearning to be able to read 'just like everyone else', and in detail how as adult actresses they tackled reading their scripts and learning their lines. Charley Boorman used press interest in his and Ewan MacGregor's epic motorcycle journey from London to New York, via Europe and Asia, to talk about his dyslexia. And it's always good to listen to Henry Winkler, 'The Fonz', when he mentions his dyslexia and we learn of his work supporting and encouraging young dyslexics.
Moreover, in a blog published by Dyslexia Scotland, I shall not forget the profile maintained and the huge amount of work done for dyslexics by our President, Sir Jackie Stewart.
But, I have to say that I'm always slightly uncomfortable when the names of Sir Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein are mentioned in lists of 'famous dyslexics'. Both certainly had difficult times at school, and although it is known that Einstein was slow in learning to speak and learning to read, neither Einstein nor Churchill had, or could have had, today's assessments for dyslexia. These lists of 'dyslexics from history' must always be suspect, but I have to say that being dyslexic, every so often I hear something or read something about someone that makes me think, 'Hmmmm. Was he, or she, dyslexic?' Two examples come to mind. The comedian Tony Hancock used to confuse 'left' and 'right'. His producer Eddie Joffe once said, "When he got out of a lift he'd inevitably go the wrong way, even if he'd been in the lift umpteen times before. An almost infallible method of finding one's way in an unfamiliar place was to take the opposite direction to the one chosen by Tony." Then, just like Susan Hampshire and Kara Tointon, Hancock had terrible difficulty learning his lines. Could he have been dyslexic?

Q: AngularJS returns Object object I have a backend REST service that returns an array. I am trying to display the value returned by this REST service in one of my <select> using ng-options. However I get [object Object] on the lists.
Backend Java Rest service
@Path("/positions")
public class PositionRestService {

    ManagerService managerService = new ManagerService();

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public List<String> getVacantPositions(@HeaderParam("iv-user") String uid) throws Exception{
        Manager manager = managerService.getManager(uid);
        LdapSearch ldapProfile = new LdapSearch();
        List<String> vacantPositions = new ArrayList<String>();
        vacantPositions = ldapProfile.getChildPositions(manager.getPositionID());
        return vacantPositions;
    }
}

AngularJS Code - Service.js
services.factory('PositionsFactory', function ($resource) {
        return $resource('/userfeed/rest/positions', {}, {
            query: { method: 'GET', isArray: true}
        })

});

AngularJS - Controller.js
 app.controller('PositionCtrl', ['$scope', 'PositionsFactory', function ($scope, PositionsFactory) {
    //$scope.positions = PositionsFactory.query();
    PositionsFactory.query({}, function (positionsFactory) {
        $scope.positions = positionsFactory;
    })
}]);

My HTML code that uses the controller
 <select ng-model="myPosition" ng-options="position as position for position in positions"> </select>

Result
I seee the follwing options on my list of options.
[object Object]

When I access the REST Service using my browser, I get the following array result which is what I am expecting on my option box above.
["CU13-00-00-004-","CU13-00-00-005-","CU13-00-00-006-"]

How can I get the values CU13-00-00-004-, CU13-00-00-005- and CU13-00-00-006- on my options using ng-options.
On using {{positions|json}}, I get following outcome:

[

{
    "0": "C",
    "1": "U",
    "2": "1",
    "3": "3",
    "4": "-",

    "6": "0",
    "7": "-",
    "8": "0",

    "11": "0",
    "12": "0",
    "13": "4",

  },
  {
    "0": "C",
    "1": "U",
    "2": "1",
    "3": "3",
    "4": "-",
    "5": "0",
    "6": "0",
    "7": "-",
    "8": "0",
    "9": "0",
    "10": "-",
    "11": "0",
    "12": "0",
    "13": "5",
    "14": "-"
  },
  {
    "0": "C",
    "1": "U",
    "2": "1",
    "3": "3",
    "4": "-",
    "5": "0",
    "6": "0",
    "7": "-",
    "8": "0",
    "9": "0",
    "10": "-",
    "11": "0",
    "12": "0",
    "13": "6",
    "14": "-"
  }
]
Looks like it has converted the array into JSON object and created a place holder for earch character. The  with ng-options show them as [object Object].
Please help. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Sweet Baby James – Why is that song so damn good?
I heard James Taylor sing Sweet Baby James in a concert last week. He's probably sung it ten thousand times, and the audience must have heard it that many times, but it didn't sound old or tired or boring. So I thought I'd take a close look at the lyrics and melody to see what he did, in hopes of imitating some little part of it. I don't know if he consciously thought about all this when he wrote the song — genius isn't always explicit — but I think its helpful to find by analysis what genius may have found by instinct.
That's a hell of a first four lines from every possible technical angle. Start with the melody, which is in the form ABBC. Not common, but it fits perfectly with the ABBA rhyme scheme. The middle lines have an internal rhyme (cattle saddle) and end with a two syllable rhyme which is rare enough to be striking all by itself.
There's an interesting melodic difference between the first two halves related to the range of the melody. In the first verse the melody has lots of leaps (moving up more than one step) and has a range of a major 7th. The 2nd half of the verse has many more repeated notes and a smaller range of notes. This provides a little relief to the range of the first half.
Content in these lines follows the pattern of the first half of the verse – pictures followed by a line with some tension "as if maybe someone could hear." Who could hear? or better, who is he thinking of? And while the first half of the verse was purely external, now we've moved into his thoughts.
Which, by the way, shouldn't make us overlook the genius of lines like "thinking about women and bottles of beer" that perfectly reflect what we'd expect of a young man alone on the prairie. And "dogies retire" which is an astonishing way of saying cattle go to sleep. At the end of the first verse we've got a clear picture of the scene, an understanding of the young man in it, and a reason — he's waiting and he's singing to someone not there — to want to hear more.
The meaning of the chorus is not precisely obvious. The cowboy is doing the singing, the moonlight ladies are his audience, and he wants them to rockabye sweet baby James. Maybe "go down in my dreams" means go down to see sweet baby James, but why he's choosing colors isn't clear to me, except that the whole song has an overlying melancholy that is supported by "deep greens and blues." The end of line rhymes aren't as hard as those in the verse – "ladies" has no rhyme, while James and dreams are not all that close. Instead Taylor ties things together with internal rhymes (goodnight / moonlight, blues / choose) the repeated "rockabye sweet baby James," and the repeated melody in lines 2 and 3.
But that's not all, as they say in the infomercials. "his pastures to change" "as if maybe someone could hear" and "let me go down in my dreams" all have the same melody, tying the chorus to both halves of the verse, except in the chorus the melody is the penultimate line, not the last line.
I have a theory that great songs all take a left turn at the 2nd verse. They really have to in order to keep our interest — if the song is too linear it is predictable. So, just when we think we know what this song is about – a cowboy singing a song – Taylor moves us from the open range to the suburban hills of the northeast. It doesn't take long to realize now we are hearing about the singer himself, not the third party cowboy.
Just as in the first half of the first verse, the first three lines are pictures while the last line shows us movement. And although it isn't explicit, there's a link to the first verse. The cowboy was waiting for summer to change pastures – move on — while the singer has just begun a journey – perhaps the journey the cowboy was waiting to start. While we're looking, notice the concrete details – the first of December, not the middle of winter, two specific towns, specific mountains, but poetry as well, "frosting" for snow, just as we had "retired" for going to sleep. This is poetry with a delicate touch – it doesn't leap and out scream "I'm a poet and these are profound and interesting metaphors." Instead they appear here and there in the midst of ordinary language.
The second half of the 2nd verse has repeated lyric phrases to parallel the repeated melodic elements. We're also learning that this is a song about songs, and in particular the power of a song to replace religious faith. We might have guessed it, but the very last line of the second verse tell us explicitly for the very first time that we're learning about the singer and his views of the world.
There's something else interesting going on here. The first half of the verse is the singer's reflection about the world – he's telling us what he sees. The second half is addressed to someone – "you" – and it is about someone else – "they." It is unclear enough to be interesting, although the "you" seems to be "sweet baby James," the child being rocked to sleep in the chorus.
Now step back and look at the whole song. Verse 1, a cowboy in a static scene, watching a fire, waiting and singing to himself, or to an imaginary audience of "moonlight ladies." Verse 2, the singer who is already on the road and on the move, thinking about songs and singing to an ambiguous "you" that seems much more like us, the audience. In fact, it seems like maybe we are the "moonlight ladies." It's not a story song, and if it is a character study it sure goes about its business indirectly. You could say it's a song about singing, but only in a very oblique fashion. Same with saying it's a road song. Nonetheless, there isn't a moment in the song when we think we're done and know all there is to know, including at the end, which leaves unanswered questions. At the same time, we do know something about the singer, his ambiguous feelings about the trip he is taking (he's clearly leaving someplace beautiful for someplace unknown), and finally his faith in just one thing – a song. It moves from exterior to interior and back again, and although it exists in just two moments – the moment at the campfire and the moment of the singer's thoughts — it is full of possibilities for the future. I'm not sure which of these many things make it a great song — maybe it takes all of them — but imitating any part is bound to make a song better.


When we hit our one year marker of being on a keto diet we realized how many tips and tricks we had come up with to help us stay committed to the lifestyle. We've incorporated intermittent fasting, bullet proof coffee and bulk meal prepping into our day to day. But, one of our favorite tricks is Bacon Egg Cups! If you have a muffin tin, you can put anything you want in each cup, throw it in the oven and you have the most convenient meal you can think of.
We especially love this method for breakfast. Most people these days are getting up early to hit the gym or get into work early so, naturally, there is a loss of time to fill up with a hearty breakfast. That's where these bacon egg cups come in for the win! We keep it pretty simple with this recipe while still amping up on the flavor and macros to get your day started off just right!
Our biggest tip for this recipe is to try and pack as much as you can into each cup. Don't worry about them overflowing, that's only a good thing in this case. Once you pop them in the oven they will rise and fall, becoming a perfectly dense, cheesy, bacon packed egg cup.
You can grab a couple before you head out the door and microwave them at work or eat them right in the car. They are the perfect accessory for the hand you won't be using on the steering wheel.
Fill Them However You Want!
The best part about this recipe is that you can fill the egg cups with any ingredients you like. You can even throw in some broccoli, chicken and soy sauce for an asian twist and eat them for lunch! Take it from the egg cup experts (that's us!) – this tip will make your life a heck of a lot easier.
Start by cooking the bacon. This can be done on the stove top or in the oven. Since we will be using the oven anyway, I find it easiest to just use that. Bake bacon for 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Allow bacon to cool. Crack a single egg into cup of a muffin tin.
Chop bacon into 1/4 inch pieces and add 1/2 strip of bacon to each egg cup.
Add 0.25 oz of cheddar cheese to each egg cup.

A resident of Tarinkot said the available public hospital in the city does not afford to provide the needed services, forcing many people to shift their patients to Kandahar or Pakistan where they face immense problems.
Restoration of peace, alleviation of poverty and construction of water dams are on top of the list for the people of the central Uruzgan province.
The province having six districts is located 670 kilometres south of the central capital Kabul. Its provincial council has nine seats with three of them for women.
According to the election commission, 26 candidates have registered their names for the provincial council seats. Only two of them are women.


Baker's Dozen is a solitaire card game using a deck of fifty-two playing cards. The game is so called because of the 13 columns in the game, the number in a baker's dozen.
First, the cards are dealt into columns of four on the tableau, resulting in 13 columns. Any King that is in the top or middle of each column must be placed on the bottom before the game starts. Multiple Kings that are mixed into one column are placed on the bottom without changing their order.
The object of the game is to build all the cards onto the four foundations. The player must first free up the four aces and if one of them is found, it is placed on the foundation. Building on the foundation is up by suit, each from ace to king.
Only the top cards of each column can are available, and cards on the tableau, if they cannot be placed on the foundations yet, can be built down regardless of suit. Furthermore, once all cards are taken out of a column, the column can never be filled. The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations.


It is another week of work, you sit at the dining table preparing yourself for another week of work, while your significant other does the same, occasionally looking at each other and maybe having the chatter of who you both saw over the weekend, how you are going to pay for Johnny's extra classes, the refrigerator is not working on optimum and you do not have the means to fix it, not all that important but talking points. Getting the spark back is on your mind, however do you want to have one of those conversations that leaves you feeling like you are begging for attention?
Your marriage for the most part is just okay, soon you will be going to bed and all you want to do is sleep, in your heart you are wondering how did it come to this, even the naked body of your partner is not doing it, all you can see are those flaws, they were hot when you were dating and in fact you could not wait to take their clothes off, however now… nothing!
You have a couple of kids and you cannot even remember how you got them, your partner is always tired, always making excuses and you are at your wits end. That person in the office who gives you the eye, if only you were single again.
You may have tried everything there is in the book, however did you try these?
We have heard it all before, never stop dating. Believe it or not dating your partner has some benefits to it, the dating is not the problem but there are some rules that you will ignore. Focus on the date, not on any other conversation that you would normally have at home.
Be creative and send your partner a card just because. Find the positive things you like about your partner and mention this in the card. Not expensive is it and you can do it while you are having lunch, just take a couple minutes to say something nice to your partner, it will go a long way in getting the spark back.
Make your relationship a priority, if you make your partner a priority chances are they will make you a priority too, just give it with love and laugh until it hurts.
Pay your partner compliments and mean it, the spark is gone, during this time it is hard to see the beautiful things about your partner, however they are the same wonderful person you marry and so if you check it out, there is always something beautiful you can find to compliment your partner. Try it you will see the difference it makes in getting the spark back.
Break the routine by inserting a jump drive with your favourite songs and dance, just 6 minutes of this can add 6 more years to a failing marriage, just look into your partner's eyes, hold their hand, a peck on the lips each time you leave each other's presence and I really am not implying every time but when you are going away for a while, in other words mix up your affection and be adventurous.
Last but not least, turn off the television, turn off the phone and talk. There are rules to talking, it is important to know how to talk to your partner and getting their attention, all will contribute in getting the spark back.
Discover ways to rebuild the shattered trust even if you feel completely hopeless.

Our Give Light, Get Light partners at Responsible Charity share their experience distributing lights in India. We are so honored that the lights have made such a positive impact in the lives of the villagers - by helping children study, women feel comfortable at night, and just by providing the basic necessity of light.
Responsible Charity works in some of the poorest slum communities of the world in Kolkata and the villages of Pune, India. Much of their ground work consists of education initiatives, working to provide education an tuition costs, promote self-sustainability, and educate families and children on hygiene.
One volunteer, Adina, worked to distribute the lights donated through the Give Light, Get Light program. These lanterns provide a much needed resource for families living without electricity. Families use the lights not only to illuminate the dwelling for cooking, working, and studying in the evenings but also to provide security for young girls walking to the bathroom at night.
One boy uses his LuminAID light to finish his homework in the evening.
Some of the lights have also been donated to women in the village community in Pune to sell as a source of income as well as to communities without electricity. Without these lights, many household tasks as well as craft work, which are sold at the market for income, would be extremely difficult in the evenings.

"A Little Book of Love" by Moh Hardin
December 2, 2011 Saddhamala
This is the first book by Moh Hardin, an acarya, or senior teacher, in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage. He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and teaches classes on Buddhism and meditation in Canada and the U.S.
Hardin tells us that A Little Book of Love is written for anyone who is interested in exploring wisdom from the Buddhist tradition for awakening, deepening and expanding love in our lives and in the world. Unfortunately, Hardin gives only tiny snippets of Buddhist wisdom and neglects to describe how this wisdom relates to his suggestions for deepening and expanding love.
Hardin begins by telling us we should be our own best friend, that our friendship with ourselves …
"The Heart of the Buddha," by Chogyam Trungpa
July 29, 2010 Suriyavamsa
Trungpa Rinpoche was a deeply flawed man, but an inspiring teacher. A new book gives Suriyavamsa a chance to reflect on Trungpa's genius, and on the visceral and striking teaching it gave rise to.
I remember studying with my teacher Sangharakshita in a group of Triratna Buddhist centre teachers a couple of years ago. He expressed his admiration for Chogyam Trungpa and, using Gurdjieff's distinction between the narrow saint and the broad genius, considered Trungpa to be a flawed genius of intelligence, flair and imagination. Sangharakshita went on to encourage us all to become 'geniuses' – to be broad and other regarding, and to develop the many diverse talents necessary to spread the Buddha's teachings.…
"Warrior King of Shambhala: Remembering Chogyam Trungpa," by Jeremy Hayward
September 22, 2008 Suriyavamsa
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was a charismatic, brilliant teacher whose drinking and sexual dalliances left a problematic legacy. Suriyavamsa reviews a new book that appreciates Trungpa's monumental contribution to western Buddhism but doesn't shy away from describing his shortcomings.
The Tibetan teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche stands out among the pioneers of Western Buddhism as a colorful and dangerous force making a huge impact on the Buddhism we find here today.
His short life was characterized by a tension between his thorough engagement with traditional Buddhist practice and his breaking with this traditional form in an often outrageous way. Both facets were part of his traditional Tibetan upbringing — a meticulous monastic training in Buddhist practice and …

"Anthony Doerr is a gifted and fearless new writer. He is absolutely unafraid to take on the biggest themes of the human condition, always writing about heroes and their various epic journeys.

Q. Lopez didn't realize that you had won that many points on your serve. Were you aware of it as you were doing it? 35?
ROGER FEDERER: I don't know. What are you talking about?
ROGER FEDERER: That's awesome. What, that last game or what?
ROGER FEDERER: Oh, come on, what have I done? I should have broken him to win 6-3 so I wouldn't have to serve it out.
I was feeling great on the serve, my God. I was serving well and playing aggressive, and things really turned around for me. Yeah, it was an awesome match. I really enjoyed it because he did play very well. Right off the bat was hitting his best shot, and that was tough for me. I was relieved when I got that second set, no doubt.
Q. What was he doing in the first set? Was he playing out of his mind or doing something specific that was bothering you?
ROGER FEDERER: Just going for it. He's a big server so you can expect him to hold his serve, but he had this one unbelievable game where he broke, and I had one or two break chances maybe. I wasn't quite in the match yet, but he was serving 110, 115 second serves, like Isner. He's a lefty; I haven't faced a lefty in a while.
It was tough and he was taking chances when I had mine, serving really big and using his forehand well and played some incredible volleys. That was work and was enough. I was under a lot of pressure tonight.
Q. Is part of your thinking in a case like that, Let's see how long he can keep this up, or I don't expect him to keep this up?
ROGER FEDERER: For me, of course it's frustrating to be down a set and 3-, 4-all. Of course that's always a difficult situation to be in. But I haven't been playing bad so far. I've had one game where he broke me where there was not much I could do about it except maybe serve -- you know, more first serves. But you got to be able to win your serves also over your second serve sometimes.
And the way he did break me there, there was nothing I could do really. That's why there was no reason for me to become frustrated, and I just hung in there. And I was hoping to get an opportunity to serve, but first and foremost I had to make sure I win my first service games, and that's why I'm happy I got on a roll.
Q. After that first set the way he was playing, did he kind of make you play your best tennis?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I would think so. I had to come up with some very good passing shots to create opportunities. Sometimes if a guy misses a ball or all of a sudden you have Love-30 and you don't know why, he wasn't really giving me that too much. I had to play good tennis to create opportunities, and then maybe almost got a bit lucky at some stages.
I think I forced the issue more and more at the end of the second. Once I got the crucial break in the set I started to read his serve better. He wasn't clocking them that well, and obviously it was going to get tough for him.
Q. Were you happy to be tested that early in the match given how far along you are in the tournament? You've got Roddick coming up next. Was it good to be pushed a bit?
ROGER FEDERER: I thought that I was pushed against Isner already. I didn't really need another match. In the end, seriously, I'm just happy I won.
When you do lose a set like that, you know, the other guy is playing unbelievable, you just start to wonder, you know, maybe tonight it's not going to work out for me.
I came back strong, and I'm happy to be back into a quarterfinal here.
Q. At the same time, you always seem to be extremely patient: Isner, Lopez, when Andy won a set last year. You're not trying to go for too much. Was there a time earlier in your career where you would get down and perhaps panic in that situation?
ROGER FEDERER: I guess back in the day today I would have started to serve and volley. I would have felt like my service games, I was doing something wrong that he broke me.
So I would be scared maybe to get into the baseline rallies with him for some reason because he would chip and come in. So I wouldn't want him to come in -- I would have wanted them to come in and the whole thing would have changed.
I would put really everything on the line early on in the match, and if he could he would break my second tactic I would probably be done. I don't do that anymore. I'm patient like you said. I wait and I hope it turns around. There's never a guarantee.
Q. When you beat somebody 13 out of 14 times like you have with Andy and you're going into that match, do you just expect to win at that point, or can you block that out of your mind, that you've beaten somebody that many times?
ROGER FEDERER: No. I mean, I hope I'm going to win, but I don't expect myself to win. That's a big difference. I know the danger of Andy. I've had some very difficult quarterfinal matches here over the years. This is not the most difficult one. I've had Agassi, Nalbandian, Blake.
At the US Open they always come tough. For me, It's great to be in the quarters. I feel like I'm in great shape and moving great, and mentally, you know I'm not getting rattled at all.
So I'm ready for a good match. You know, I think it's going to be really entertaining.
Q. Is there any mystery to Andy's game anymore? Do feel like you know absolutely everything he can throw at you?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I pretty much know his game. Yeah, I do. But, again, you know, he's played in different ways against me. He's obviously tried a lot: Returning from far back, returning in, chip and charging, serve and volleying, playing from the baseline with me. He's tried everything, so I hope I won't get surprised next match.
Q. So has your game plan against him changed then in the last couple years?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, because of my game really, because I started to become a better player, more confidence, my serve grew, you know. I was starting to get much better off my backhand side, where in the beginning it was a big weakness for me I felt.
So, yeah, I don't know, my game evolved. Actually I always do concentrate on my own game especially Andy, who's got an incredible serve, maybe the best in the game. There's not much sometimes you can do about that.
Q. How much stronger is your backhand from, say, a year ago? How much have you really focused on that?
ROGER FEDERER: I think it's been really in great shape in the last three or four years, to be honest, since I became No. 1. Maybe that's one of the reasons I became No. 1, because my backhand really improved. I can really rely on it on passing shots in tough moments, on my slice. You know, it won't break down anymore. Yeah, I know how to use it now, and that's most important.
Q. You said after the Isner match that you don't underestimate anybody anymore, and that's something that maybe in the past you used to do. Was that a big problem for you in the past, or a problem?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, it was actually, because I mean, I knew I was kind of talented and good. I had a nice technique. When I were play a guy whose technique didn't look that nice I would think I was to huge favorite and I would think that that technique can't really work.
I would find myself down a set and a break and not realizing why and how to come back, and fighting spirit wasn't always at its best when I was younger. I always hoped that some magical thing would happen and I could turn the match around. I wouldn't realize that you really need to fight out there to turn it around sometimes.
So I did struggle a lot in the early days with opponents, but I had some guys I couldn't really beat in the beginning like Hewitt, Nalbandian, Agassi, Henman. And then once I started to improve and understand why I was losing I became a much better player.

This spa bath was bought several years ago but it was too big for our bathroom. It has been stored since in our garage, however so we could have some use from it, during the last couple of summers I've put it in a gazebo I made and we've benefited from it's amazing relaxing Jacuzzi massage features. It is stored over winter and usually put in the Gazebo in the garden I made for it for the summer. This year we only used it twice since, because of the hot weather, I bought a small swimming pool. It total we have used this stunning Spa bath no more than 20 times. We are moving abroad next year so instead of putting it back in the garage I thought I'd sell it now. I'm not going to give it away but I feel it is very reasonably priced. If you're cheeky you could make me an offer! But remember you only have 3 attempts. The item "Double SPA BATH Jacuzzi massage" is in sale since Friday, August 31, 2018.
This item is in the category "Home, Furniture & DIY\Bath\Whirlpool/Spa Baths". The seller is "beachboy9555" and is located in Kidderminster. This item can't be shipped, the buyer must pick up the item.


SAT 1st June 2019 | 8 p.m.-10:30 p.m.
This is an event for hungry hearts.
Hungry to be fully immersed in the dive in mood and to feel the oneness between all things.
Sivani Mata will be blessings us with her devotional songs all the way through the Jivamukti yoga class lead by Charlie Kelly. Soothing our souls in shavasana and then ending in a expression of the love within through kirtan to further bring us together.

A new city hall is on the horizon, along with new money to pilot a program to address workforce and affordable housing.
From a new city hall to a new affordable housing pilot program, Mayor Ken Moore said he has high expectations for Franklin's future.
At a State of the City address, Moore stood in a denim clad outfit and red Nike swoosh tennis shoes as a nod to the address' "Back to the Future" theme. He reviewed the city's last three decades, highlighting that the needs for housing and infrastructure have continued as the primary issues.
"We want to identify the parallels that exist then and now with growth, infrastructure and housing," Moore said. "The same issues were happening 30 years ago. If we analyze that to the present, our city leaders made good decisions that kept us on track. We are in a city with an 'X factor.' I don't want to see that lost."
In its beginning stages, Moore said he was excited to see develop a new pilot program to generate more workforce and affordable housing in the city.
As housing prices have continued to climb in Williamson County, Franklin leaders have yet to cohesively address affordable housing. The average home price in Franklin currently sits at $495,000, according to the Williamson County Association of Realtors.
Previously, the city used money for the housing fund through inclusionary zoning to try to help the issue. That changed in 2016 when Rep. Glen Casada (R-Thompson's Station) pushed to eliminate inclusionary zoning usage. When the state legislature voted to ultimately do away with the practice, Franklin lost its ability to enforce it.
"So I told staff last year that we needed to put money in the budget to develop some type of pilot program to incentivize builders to be encouraged to build workforce housing," he said. "We don't know what that looks like yet. But I think it's a good faith initiative to put some money in the pot to encourage some type of response."
Moore said $100,000 is allotted in the upcoming 2018-2019 city budget for the program. He said the Franklin Housing Commission will help develop it. The mayor originally asked for $250,000 for the program.
In the next decade, Franklin leaders have planned for a new city hall.
Moore said that is becoming a higher priority as the upkeep on the current facility has increasing expenses. In the Franklin Capital Improvement Project plan, the project is slated to cost $24.1 million.
"It's a very expensive project, but it's very expensive to keep up with," Moore said. "It's not efficient or laid out well."
Moore said he would like the new city hall to remain on the square on the four acres off of Third Avenue South. But he recognized that could become tricky as crews would have to demolish the current building.
"I think we would be looking for some type of request for proposal and some type of public-private venture to engage in to take it forward," Moore said. "Right now, we have money in the budget to study space needs. It needs to move on."
In the next year, Moore said he expects work on new sidewalks and road projects.
Bids to start the construction for the long-awaited Mack Hatcher Parkway extension will start toward the end of 2018.
Plans and construction are also in the works for sidewalks on Highway 96 East and West.
Fully funded construction for the state route, Columbia Avenue will widen from Downs Boulevard to the Mack Hatcher Memorial Parkway intersection. The project will continue to move forward after aldermen decided in 2017 how to widen the route.

It seems somewhat fortuitous to stumble upon today's creation, which manages to build upon a few prior posts. Last week I look a look at a beefed-up 1976 2002 with a S14 swap. Then, yesterday, I took a look at the crazy 4-door convertible 316i Baur TC4. Combining those two unique creations is today's 1972 BMW 2002.
We've reached a point where the BMW E36 has probably dipped about as low as it will go in terms of value, with exception of some mint M3s on the upward tick and the exclusive M3 Lightweight. Most of us are familiar with all the different models of this range, including some of those which did not make it to US shores, like the Touring. This 318i Baur TC4, however, is a different proposition altogether. The relationship between BMW and Baur goes back a ways. Baur is a coachbuilder based in Stuttgart, Germany that has been collaborating on BMW convertibles since the 1930s. Their targa variants of the E21 and E30 3 series helped them gain notoriety, but they didn't stop there. When the E36 3 series debuted in the early 1990s, Baur decided to try something different.
What you see here is a rarity amongst modern day automobiles, the four-door cabriolet. From the side profile, you'd be hard pressed to figure out this was a convertible of some sort, with fixed door frames and a canvas roof which would fold discreetly behind the rear seats. This 318i Baur TC4 is claimed to be the first on US shores. While it wouldn't be an easy claim to verify, it is probably valid, as a little over 300 of these unique open-roofed sedans were made.

Thronging to the Inaugural
'You're crushing children!' one cop shouted. 'What kind of people are you?'
by Jennifer Savage
Slideshow Thronging to the Inaugural
Click to View 5 slides
People weren't kidding about the cold or the crowds or the miles we'd walk. Get there early, they advised. I meant to, had planned on catching the Metro at 4 a.m., when the trains started running, but in my tiredness, I'd set the alarm for 3:15 p.m. instead of 3:15 a.m. I woke up sans ring and an hour late, jet-lag fog giving way to panic -- we'd never get close now.
When I'd won two tickets to the inauguration from the office of our new U.S. congressman, Jared Huffman, I hadn't been sure about going. Notice was short -- the office contacted winners one week before the event -- and flights to D.C. were pricey. But one friend offered his airline miles, another invited me to stay with her in Fairfax, Va., and the Journal dangled an assignment that would cover gas to PDX and back. How could I refuse?
North Coast Journal Calendar Editor Andrew Goff tagged along to take photos and, we all hoped, be inspired to bring back Seven-O-Heaven. If that happened, I figured, any expense and the short time away from my regular job with Ocean Conservancy would be worth it.
From my friend's house to the Metro station is an easy jaunt -- or rather, it looked simple enough on the map. In reality, we missed a turn and ended up two stations down the line. Another delay.
We pulled into the Federal Triangle Station around 5:45 a.m., joining tens of thousands of people jostling toward the U.S. Capitol building. We exited the station into 28 degrees of frigid biting through our clothing. I'd expected a chill and had worn thick tights, tall boots, a scarf and wool gloves in addition to my long coat and obligatory cute skirt and shirt. On a map, the distance between the station and the Orange Gate appeared short. Getting there looked simple. When I asked inauguration volunteers for directions, they helpfully pointed us the way. Except they didn't point us the same way. And most of the streets surrounding the Capitol Building were blocked off, so we ended up stymied time and time again. Finally we called in the military.
The gray-haired camo'd guy we asked for help clarified the deal to us: "Listen to me. There's no other way to get there other than what I'm going to tell you. Understand?" Yes, sir. He informed us we had to retrace our steps and go all the way around the blocked-off parade route. "You got about a four-mile walk ahead of you."
He was mostly right. His instructions were spot-on, and I'm sure we strode at least two miles. But then, we were saved, in true American form, by ingenuity and enterprise -- specifically the ingenuity and enterprise of a fleet of pedi-cabs, one of which we were able to flag down. Our driver waved us into the back and launched toward our destination, confidently weaving around pedestrians, cornering around official vehicles and dodging whatever popped up in our path. He was in from Texas, where he usually makes a living pedi-cabbing post-football game crowds back to their cars. In a few minutes, we'd reached our destination. A glance at the phone said 7:30 a.m., half an hour after the gates had opened. We merged into the crowd under a sky streaked with pink and orange, remnants of a glorious sunrise.
Theoretically we were in line, but in reality it was more of a crush. I clung to Goff's elbow as he threaded ahead. First, getting through the gate. Next, getting through security. The whole ordeal was similar to catching a flight, if that flight was overbooked, about to depart and only took off once every four years.
We hustled to the next checkpoint, the actual entrance to the grand event. A cop, short and stout, announced to all ticket-holders that we were being diverted to the "overflow area." People complained and tried to dodge through, but she refused any and all pleading. Other cops escorted dozens of people to the grassy area outside of the assigned space until disappointment and complaint surrounded us. "It's not my fucking problem. They should have got here earlier," snapped one cop to another. "I just work here," responded a third cop, tasked with guarding the perimeter of our barricaded grounds. Dozens of people decided to leave rather than be stuck with a view dominated by a long line of porta potties and trees obscuring the action. On the upside, the quantity of people and quality of aggravation counteracted the cold.
Goff and I joined a throng of people pushing for the exit -- only the exit wasn't one, because too many people in the overflow area were refusing to move off the street and onto the grass, so the oncoming crowd had been halted until a solution could be found. No one was getting in. No one was getting out. After several minutes, the cops relented and opened the gate to our ticket-holder area. People shoved for position. A petite woman to the side of me hollered about being pushed. The cops bumped up their communication. "You need to stop hurting each other!" they said. "Everyone just move slowly!" Better behavior held forth for a moment, but too many people in too small a space in too big a hurry makes for poor restraint. "You're crushing children!" one cop shouted. "What kind of people are you?" Fortunately, the children in question made it through safely, as did Goff and I.
At last, the main event -- with an hour or so to go before anyone was going to start talking. We could see the Jumbo-tron and the perimeter of where the action was. A lot of what I'm sure was technically talented music emanated from the speakers -- the U.S. Marine Band certainly knows what it's doing, as does the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir -- but what would have been truly inspiring would have been some music with a beat. Look, you have 800,000 cold, tired, impatient people standing around for hours. Give them a little dance party, already! Instantly create warmth, inspiration and happiness! (I'll have to float this to Huffman for the next go-round.)
The true value of attending the inauguration wasn't to see the lawmakers and power brokers -- not that I wouldn't have hung out with Michelle, Barack and Uncle Joe if asked. The reward of the day came from standing with our fellow Americans. We applauded when those who pleased us descended onto the big screen -- Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Kelly Clarkson -- and all around us boos broke out when Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan's faces lit up the Jumbo-tron.
When Richard Blanco ensured that poetry has no chance of breaking into popular culture for the next few years, the combination of pain while he spoke and relief when he stopped appeared universal. When Obama delivered his inauguration speech, I cheered along with all the other women at the line about equal pay. My heart and the hearts around me rejoiced at his strong words supporting gay marriage. We caught our collective breath at the mention of Newtown. We burst into applause filled not only with joy of the moment, but relief that the election in November had swung our way.
Our time in D.C. was brief, but the experience was huge. We thought we'd planned well and were instead nearly overwhelmed with unexpected challenges, barriers and bad directions. Yet we ended up helped along our course by authorities and innovators, finally reaching a place where unity and hope didn't seem impossible. I can't think of anything more American.

Trump to sign executive actions targeting Obama financial regulations
By Peter Schroeder - 02/03/17 05:30 AM EST
President Trump will sign an executive order that could effectively kill a contentious investment adviser rule that had been a top priority of President Obama.
The president is expected to sign a pair of executive orders targeting rules imposed on the financial sector Friday, according to senior White House officials. And one of those orders takes square aim at the "fiduciary duty" rule written by the Labor Department, finalized after years of effort in June.
That rule establishes significantly stricter standards on investment advisers for retirement plans and had been fiercely opposed by the financial industry.
The second order will direct financial regulators, under the guidance of the Treasury Department, to review regulations from the Dodd-Frank financial reform law for potential revisions or outright removal.
The text of the orders was not provided to reporters in advance of the president's signing. President Trump is scheduled to sign executive orders at noon Friday.
Under the first expected executive order, Trump will direct the Labor Department to halt implementation of the "fiduciary duty" rule and completely re-review the project. The rule was set to take effect on April 10, but given Trump's harsh criticism of financial rules, it would face long odds of being resurrected in anything resembling its current form — White House officials described the regulatory project as a "complete miss."
One of Trump's closest advisers, Anthony Scaramucci, went so far as to equate the regulation with the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857, in which the Supreme Court ruled that descendants of slaves could not become citizens.
Trump's move is sure to set off fury among liberals who fought long and hard to get the rule in place and argue that it is critical to ensure people are not being steered to ineffective investments that reap hefty commissions for investment advisers.
Under the rule, advisers would have to act solely for the benefit of their clients. But industry critics argue it would be costly and burdensome to implement.
The rule had been stalled for years under Obama until the president personally threw himself behind the project in 2015. Sen. Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth WarrenBiden's minimum wage push faces uphill battle with GOP What to watch for in Biden Defense pick's confirmation hearing Biden selects Gensler for SEC chair, Rohit Chopra to lead CFPB MORE (D-Mass.) has been a vocal proponent, and the rule was shepherded through by then-Labor Secretary Tom Perez, who is now running to head the Democratic National Committee.
Trump's pick to lead the Labor Department, Andrew Puzder, has seen his confirmation hearing delayed several times in the Senate after opposition from Democrats and is still awaiting consideration.
The second order Trump is expected to sign will direct regulators to comprehensively review rules put in place under Dodd-Frank, another signature Obama achievement. White House officials said the initiative is not an attempt to "undo" the Wall Street reform law, but rather intended to "fix" some "overarching issues."
Officials said one specific area that will be reviewed is the "Volcker Rule," a provision of Dodd-Frank that barred banks from making trades for their own profit rather than account holders.
However, the order will not result in any direct changes to the current regulatory framework, and its impact could be limited. For one, the vast majority of post-crisis rulemakings were directed by the Dodd-Frank law and could only be removed by another statute from Congress.
Furthermore, most of the regulators charged with implementing those laws are independent and do not answer directly to the president. President Trump has already named new heads of some of those agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other key personnel are expected to be named soon.
But in two key regulatory posts — the Federal Reserve and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — Obama appointees have made clear they intend to serve out their terms into 2018.

Up about 9 – wrote diary. Shortened slip, washed hair. Jean Thomas called with an 11:30 appt. at Jack Tinker + Partners at 1414 Sixth Ave to see a Pat Kirkland. I left the house at 10:50 + spent the next half hour trying to get a cab + getting soaking wet instead. Ended up 15 minutes late taking the B'way Bus + running across town on 58th St. I don't know which busses + which subways around here. The reading was a voice over for "chock plus Iron tablets" + was a very funny script. My third taping was pretty good but I don't know if they liked it or not. My being late didn't help. Pat Kirkland used to be with United Talent. Knows Peter + is "a great friend of Parker's". Had lunch downstairs in the coffee shop. Went to the bank + got some money. Got copies of Annie's keys. bought lightbulbs + groceries. Came home. Drue called + we're having dinner on Sunday night. Jean Thomas called to say the Kool appt. has been postponed + Scotty called. We're going to try to see a show or something Sunday afternoon to avoid drinking. I read another detective story + fell sound asleep. Woke about 8:30. Wrote a note to Susan enclosing $15 for her birthday and then started a letter to Peter – about midway I decided to call him + there he was – said he'd been about to call me. Mary on the sauce again. Newcomb made the mistake of writing her a letter which was very disapproviong – How I do wish Newcomb would think 15 times before, during + after every single letter he writes + then not send a good many of them. But at the same time that's Newcomb + to expect him to be an amateur psychologist is too much. Our phone call was interrupted by "an emergency call from Mrs. Mary Enelow" – same old tricks. Peter called me back + it seems Mary was expecting a computer date, was gulping vodka + wanted Peter to call her in 45 minutes. She said "I hope you weren't talking to my sister." Peter said he was + she said "Oh my God" + hung up. Oh Lord I wish she would get off his back. I've had it as far as emotional involvement in Mary's life. My own needs all the attention I can give it. I called Harold Stern after I finished the letter to Peter + went down there at about 11 – Harold's place just a little fuller + he has at the moment 3 birds – also too much work + not happy with what he's turning out. He gave me some sample interviews. He played Conan Doyle + Rudyard Kipling for me. How extraordinary to hear those voices – I had 2 drinks there + then came home laden with material + a lovely envelope of stamps for Coco. Called Hayes + Arthur Kingsley sounded as though he were cracking up.
