\section{Introduction and model}
\label{sec:intro}

Consider a list of $n$ files which is updated as follows: at each
unit of discrete time, a file is requested independently of the
previous requests and is moved to the front of the list. This
heuristic is called the move-to-front rule and was first introduced
by \cite{tsetlin} and \cite{mccabe} to sort files. Such strategy
is used when the request probabilities are unknown,
otherwise we would list the files in order to have decreasing
request probabilities. The move-to-front rule induces a Markov chain
over the permutations of $n$ elements which has a unique stationary
distribution, (see \cite{donnelly} and reference to the work of
Hendricks, Dies and Letac therein). This distribution turns out to
be the size-biased permutation of the request probabilities.
 \\[1ex]
Here, we consider that these request probabilities are themselves
random, as in a Bayesian analysis. Let $\omega=(\omega_i)_{i \in
{\hbox{$\scriptstyle{I}$\kern-.25em\hbox{$\scriptstyle{N}$}}}^*}$ be a sequence of iid positive random variables. The
Laplace transform of a weight will be denoted by $\phi$ and its
expectation by $\mu$. For any $i\in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em N}^*$, $\omega_i$ represents
the weight of the file $i$. We can construct request probabilities
${\bf p}=(p_1,..,p_n)$ as follows:
\begin{equation*}
\forall i\in \{1,...,n\}\;, \qquad p_i=\frac{\omega_i}{W_n}\quad
{\mbox{where}} \quad W_n=\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \;.
\end{equation*}
Such random vector ${\bf p}$ is called a random discrete
distribution \cite{kingman}.
\\[1ex]
Let us denote by $S_n$ the search cost of an item (i.e. the position
in the list of the requested item) when the underlying Markov chain
is in steady state (the first position will be 0). For this model,
\cite{barreraparoissin}
obtained exact and asymptotic formulae for the Laplace transform of
$S_n$ (some results were also extended to the case of independent
random weights). In particular, they found the limit of the
expectation and the variance of $S_n$. Moreover, in the case of
i.i.d. gamma weights, \cite{barrerahuilletparoissin}, obtained the
exact and asymptotic distribution of $S_n$, using an exact
representation of the size-biased permutation arising from Dirichlet
partitions. Note that \cite{fillmtf} found the limiting
distribution of $S_n$ when weights are deterministic but
non-identical, in some cases (uniform, Zipf's law, generalized
Zipf's law, power law and geometric).
\\[2ex]
In section \ref{sec:limit}, we shall give a general formula
for the density of the limiting search cost distribution $S$, provided
that the expected weight is finite. Then we derive the moment function
and the cumulative distribution function of $S$. We also discuss the
relationship between the move-to-front rule and the least-recently-used
strategy. In section \ref{sec:ex} we study
some examples for which computations can be done explicitly: both
continuous and discrete distributions are considered.

\section{Limiting search cost distribution}\label{sec:limit}

The early analysis of the heuristic move-to-front
focused on the expected search cost, see \cite{mccabe},
\cite{kingman} and \cite{FGT}, for instance. Later,
researchers paid much attention to the (transient and stationary)
distribution of the search cost (\cite{FillHolst}). Some of them
investigated the limiting behavior as the number $n$ of items tends
to infinity (see \cite{fillmtf}). In a more recent article,
\cite{barreraparoissin} obtained an integral representation of the
Laplace transform of $S_n$ in the Bayesian model described in the
introduction. Their main theorem is the following:
\begin{thm}\label{thm:mtf2004}
For a sequence $\omega$ of iid positive random variables,
\begin{equation*}
\forall s \geqslant 0\,,\qquad \phi_{S_n}(s)= n  \int_0^{\infty}\int_t^{\infty}
\phi''(r)\left[ \phi(r)+e^{-s}\left(\phi(r-t)-\phi(r)\right)\right]^{n-1}
\,dr\,dt \;.
\end{equation*}
\end{thm}

In the same article the integral representation for the two first
moments of $S_n$ were derived. Moreover, they obtained a point-wise asymptotic
equivalent for the Laplace transform of $S_n$ and the limit of the
first two moments of $S_n/n$ when the number $n$ of items tends to
infinity. From theorem \ref{thm:mtf2004}, we can obtain the following
closed-form expression for the density function of the limiting
distribution of $Sn/n$:
\begin{thm}\label{thm:limdib}
For a sequence $\omega$ of iid positive random weights with finite
expectation $\mu$,
\begin{equation*}
\frac{S_n}{n} \xrightarrow[n \rightarrow
  \infty]{d} S \;,
\end{equation*}
where $S$ is a continuous random variable with the following density
function $f_{S}$:
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:limdib}
f_{S} (x) = -\frac{1}{\mu}
\frac{\phi''\left(\phi^{-1}(1-x)\right)}{\phi'\left(\phi^{-1}(1-x)\right)}\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-p_0]}(x)
\;,
\end{equation}
where $p_0=\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P}(\omega_i=0)$ and $\phi^{-1}$ is the inverse
function of $\phi$.
\end{thm}

\begin{rem}\label{rm_p_0}
The quantity $p_0$ can be interpreted as follows: $p_0$ is the
probability that an item is never requested. At stationarity, one
 expects that any such item will be at the bottom of the list: $np_0$
is the mean number of unrequested items. So it is not surprising
that the support of $S$ is not the entire unit interval. Note that
if the distribution of the weight is continuous, then $p_0=0$.
\end{rem}

\begin{proof}
We have to prove that $S_n/n$ converges in distribution, as
$n$ tends to infinity, to a certain random variable that will be
denote by $S$. First, observe that:
\begin{equation*}
\forall s \geqslant 0\,, \quad \phi_{S_n/n}(s) = \phi_{S_n}\left(\tfrac{s}{n}
\right) \;.
\end{equation*}
So we are now interested in the limit of $\phi_{S_n}(s/n)$.
\\[1ex]
For any reals $a$ and $b$ such that $0 \leqslant a \leqslant b \leqslant
\infty$, let:
\begin{equation*}
I_n(a,b)=\int^b_a\phi''(r)\left[\phi(r)+e^{-s/n}(\phi(r-t)-\phi(r))
\right]^{n-1}\, dr\,.
\end{equation*}
If $b=\infty$, then we will omit this parameter, i.e. $I_n(a)=I_n(a,\infty)$. Using these notations, theorem \ref{thm:mtf2004} gives:
\begin{equation}\label{S_n}
\phi_{S_n}\left(\tfrac{s}{n}\right) = n\int_0^{\infty} I_n(t)\,dt \;.
\end{equation}
We now decompose $I_n(t)$ into two parts: $I_n(t) = I_n(t,t+\varepsilon)+
I_n(t+\varepsilon)$. We will prove that $nI_n(t+\varepsilon,\infty)$
tends to $0$ when $n$ tends to infinity:
\begin{eqnarray*}
n I_n(t+\varepsilon,\infty) & = & n\int_{t +\varepsilon}^{\infty}
\phi''(r)\left[e^{-s/n}(\phi(r-t)+ (1-e^{-s/n})\phi(r))\right]^{n-1} dr \;,\\
& \leqslant & n\int_{t +\varepsilon}^{\infty} \phi''(r) \phi(r-t)^{n-1}\,
dr\
,\\
& \leqslant & -n\phi(\varepsilon)^{n-1}\phi'(t+\varepsilon)\,,
\end{eqnarray*}
since $\phi$ is decreasing. Then $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}n
I_n(t+\varepsilon,\infty)=0$, for all $\varepsilon>0$.
\\[1ex]
Now we will estimate $I_n(t,t+\varepsilon)$. Let $h_{n}(r,t) =
\phi(r)+e^{-s/n}(\phi(r-t)-\phi(r))$. For a fixed value of $t$, the function
$h_{n}(\cdot,t)$ behaves as $\phi$. In particular $\frac{\partial
h_{n}}{\partial r}$ is an increasing function for $r \in
[t,t+\varepsilon]$. Then we obtain the following bounds:
\begin{equation*}
\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t,t) \leqslant \frac{\partial
h_{n}}{\partial r}(r,t) \leqslant
\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t+\varepsilon,t)\,,
\end{equation*}
and:
\begin{equation*}
\phi''(t+\varepsilon) \leqslant \phi''(r) \leqslant \phi''(t)\,.
\end{equation*}

Hence, we can bound $I_n(t,t+\varepsilon)$ by:
\begin{eqnarray*}
I_n(t,t+\varepsilon) & = & \int_t^{t+\varepsilon} \phi''(r) \left(h_{n}(r,t)\right)^{n-1}\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(r,t)\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(r,t)^{-1} \, dr\\
& \leqslant &\phi''(t)\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t,t)^{-1}\int_t^{t+\varepsilon}  \left(h_{n}(r,t)\right)^{n-1}\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(r,t) \, dr\\
& \leqslant &\phi''(t)\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t,t)^{-1}\frac{1}{n}
\left[\left(h_{n}(t+\varepsilon,t)\right)^n-\left(h_{n}(t,t)\right)^n\right]
\ .
\end{eqnarray*}
Proceeding similarly, we can find a lower bound:
\begin{equation*}
I_n(t,t+\varepsilon) \geqslant
\phi''(t+\varepsilon)\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t+\varepsilon,t)^{-1}\frac{1}{n}
\left[\left(h_{n}(t+\varepsilon,t)\right)^n-\left(h_{n}(t,t)\right)^n\right]\,.
\end{equation*}
Then, for any $\varepsilon>0$, one can prove the following limits hold:
\begin{eqnarray*}
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(h_{n}(t+\varepsilon,t)\right)^n &
=  & 0\ ,\\
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(h_{n}(t,t)\right)^n & =
&\exp\left[ -s(1-\phi(t)) \right]\ ,\\
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t,t) & = &
\phi'(\varepsilon) \ ,\\
 \lim_{n \rightarrow
\infty}\frac{\partial h_{n}}{\partial r}(t+\varepsilon,t) & = & \phi'(0) \ .
\end{eqnarray*}
 Replacing these limits in the equations above, we have computed upper and lower bounds of $I_n (t,t+\varepsilon)$. In other words, if the limit of $nI_n (t,t+\varepsilon)$ exists, then it is bounded by:
\begin{equation*}
-\frac{\phi''(t+\varepsilon)}{\phi'(0)}
\exp\left( -(1-\phi(t))s \right) \leqslant
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} n I_n(t,t+\varepsilon) \leqslant
-\frac{\phi''(t)}{\phi'(\varepsilon)} \exp\left( -(1-\phi(t))s
\right)  \;.
\end{equation*}
This is true for any $\varepsilon>0$; then letting $\varepsilon$
tends to $0$, we have:
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} n I_n(t)=
\frac{\phi''(t)}{\mu}\exp\left( -(1-\phi(t))s \right)\;.
\end{equation*}
Replacing this limit in equation (\ref{S_n}) we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{LaplaceT}
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \phi_{S_n/n}(s)= \frac{1}{\mu} \int_0^{\infty} \phi''(t)  e^{-(1-\phi(t))s}\,dt \;,
\end{equation}
which will be denoted by $\phi_S(s)$. Although this limit a priori is not
necessarily the Laplace transform of a random variable, according to
the Continuity theorem (page 431 Ch. XIII in \cite{feller}), one has to check that $\lim_{s\rightarrow
  0}\phi_S(s)=1$, which can be proved by using the dominated convergence
theorem.
\\[1ex]
A suitable change of variable $y=1-\phi(r)$ in equation (\ref{LaplaceT})
gives:
\begin{equation*}
\phi_{S}(s) = -\frac{1}{\mu} \int_0^{1-p_0}
\frac{\phi''\left(\phi^{-1}(1-y)\right)}{\phi'\left(\phi^{-1}(1-y)\right)}
e^{-ys}\, dr ,
\end{equation*}
where for the integral limits we used the property that
$\phi(\infty)= p_0$ (see \cite{feller} remark in theorem 1(a) page
439 Ch. XIII). Therefore, we have that:
\begin{equation*}
f_{S} (y) = -\frac{1}{\mu}
\frac{\phi''\left(\phi^{-1}(1-y)\right)}{\phi'\left(\phi^{-1}(1-y)\right)}\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-p_0]}(y)
\end{equation*}
is the probability density of $S$.
\end{proof}

As a corollary to this theorem, we can compute the $q$-th moment and the cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of $S$:
\begin{coro}
For any $q \in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em R}$
\begin{equation*}
E[S^q] = \frac{1}{\mu} \int_{0}^{\infty} (1-\phi(t))^q
\phi''(t)\,dt\ ,
\end{equation*}
and, for any $x \in [0,1]$,
\begin{equation*}
\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P} (S\leqslant x) = \left( \frac{1}{\mu} \int_{0}^{\phi^{-1}(1-x)} \phi''(t)\,dt \right)\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-p_0]}(x)+\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{(1-p_0,1]}(x) \;.
\end{equation*}
\end{coro}

One could be interested in the cumulative distribution function of $S$ (or more precisely in the survival function), since the move-to-front rule is related to the least-recently-used strategy (see \cite{FGT} for instance). Indeed, many operating systems or softwares use a memory (also called cache) that could be quickly addressed (think of a web browser, for instance). Hence, one needs to define a strategy to organize it. Let us consider that the cache is made of $k$ files. The least-recently-used strategy is the following: at each unit of discrete time, a file is requested and is moved in front of the cache; if the file was not just previously in the cache, then the last file is deleted from the cache and all other files are shifted by one position to the right; if the file was  just previously in the cache, then the file is moved exactly as in the move-to-front rule. So, the move-to-front rule can be viewed as a special case of the least-recently-used strategy for which the length of the cache is equal to the number of files ($k=n$). An important question arises: what is the probability that the requested file is not in the cache? The probability of this event is called the page default; we will denote it by $\pi_k$ in the sequel. Because of the link between the move-to-front rule and the least-recently-used strategy (as underlined above), we clearly have that $\pi_k = \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P}(S_n \geqslant k)$. So, if we assume that the cache length is proportional to the number of files, say $k=\alpha n$ with $\alpha \in [0,1]$ fixed, for a large collection of files, the following approximation holds:
\begin{equation*}
\pi_{\alpha n} \simeq \frac{1}{\mu} \int_{0}^{\phi^{-1}(1-\alpha)} \phi''(t)\,dt \;
\end{equation*}
if $\alpha<p_0$ and $\pi_{\alpha n} \simeq 1$ otherwise.

\section{Examples}
\label{sec:ex}

In this section, we study some examples for which we are able to do
explicitly all computations. We will consider both continuous and discrete
distribution for the random weights.

\begin{ex}
Suppose that the weights have the Dirac distribution at point mass
$1$ (in other words, weights are deterministic and are equally
requested). Then $\phi(r)=e^{-r}$, the expectation $\mu = 1$ and $
p_0=0$, we deduce that:
\begin{equation*}
f_{S_1}(x) = \mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1]}(x)\;.
\end{equation*}
Thus, $S_1$ has the uniform distribution over $[0,1]$: this result was
already proved in (theorem~4.2, p.~198 of \cite{fillmtf}). The
$k$-th moment (with $k \in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em R}_+$) and the c.d.f. of $S_1$ is:
\begin{equation*}
\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S^k_1]= \frac{1}{k+1}
\qquad {\mbox{and}} \qquad \forall x \in [0,1]\,, \quad
F_{S_1}(x) = \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P}(S_1\leqslant x) = x  \;.
\end{equation*}
\end{ex}

\begin{ex}
Suppose that the weights have the Gamma distribution with parameter
$\alpha>0$. In this example, the random vector $(p_1, \ldots, p_n)$
has the symmetric Dirichlet distribution $D_n(\alpha)$ (see \cite{wilks}
or \cite{kbj}). In such a
case, $p_0=0$, $\mu = \alpha$ and $\phi(r)= (1+r)^{-\alpha}$.
Computations give:
\begin{equation*}
f_{S_2}(x) = \left(1+\frac{1}{\alpha}\right) (1-x)^{1/\alpha}
\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1]}(x)\;,
\end{equation*}
which is the density function of the Beta distribution with
parameters $(1,1+1/\alpha)$. Note that this result has already been
proved by \cite{barrerahuilletparoissin} with a specific technique
using properties of Dirichlet distribution (in this case we were able not
only to find the limiting search cost distribution but also the transient
search cost distribution for any finite $n$). The $k$-th moment
(with $k \in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em R}_+$) of $S_2$ is:
\begin{equation*}
\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_2^k]=
\frac{\Gamma(k+1)\Gamma(2+\tfrac{1}{\alpha})}{\Gamma(2+k+\tfrac{1}{\alpha})}\;.
\end{equation*}
In particular, we have $\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_2]=\tfrac{\alpha}{2\alpha+1}$ and
${\mbox{Var}}[S_2]= \tfrac{(\alpha+1)\alpha^2}{(3\alpha+1)(2\alpha+1)^2}$.
One can also compute the c.d.f of $S_2$ and, for any $x \in [0,1]$, we get:
\begin{equation*}
F_{S_2}(x) = \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P}(S_2\leqslant x)= 1 - (1-x)^{1+1/\alpha}\;.
\end{equation*}
We can easily deduce that, for any $x \in [0,1]$, $\bar{F}_{S_2}(x) \leqslant
\bar{F}_{S_1}(x)$, where $\bar{F}_{S_1}(\cdot) = 1 - F_{S_1}(\cdot)$. So we
have $S_2 \preceq_{st} S_1$ (where $\preceq_{st}$ denotes the usual stochastic
ordering; see \cite{shakedshanthikumar} or \cite{stoyan}, for instance).
\end{ex}

\begin{ex}
Suppose that the weights have the Geometric distribution on $\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em N}$
with parameter $p \in (0,1)$. In such case, $p_0=p$, $\mu = (1-p)/p$
and $\phi(r)=p/(1-(1-p)e^{-r})$. Elementary computations give:
\begin{equation*}
f_{S_3}(x)=\frac{2(1-x)-p}{1-p}  \mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-p]}(x) \;.
\end{equation*}
The $k$-th moment (with $k \in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em R}_+$) of $S_3$ is:
\begin{equation*}
\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_3^k]= \frac{(2+pk)(1-p)^k}{(k+1)(k+2)} \;.
\end{equation*}
In particular, we have $\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_3]=\tfrac{(2+p)(1-p)}{6}$ and
${\mbox{Var}}[S_3]= \tfrac{(1-p)^2(2+2p-p^2)}{36}$. One can also compute
the c.d.f of $S_3$ and, for any $x \in [0,1]$, get:
\begin{equation*}
F_{S_3}(x) = \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P} (S_3\leqslant x)= \frac{x(2-p-x)}{1-p}\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-p]}(x)+\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{(1-p,1]}(x) \;.
\end{equation*}
Hence, from the above expression, one can check that $S_4 \preceq_{st} S_1$.
\end{ex}

\begin{ex}
Suppose that the weights have the Poisson distribution with
parameter $\lambda$. In such case, $p_0=e^{-\lambda}$, $\mu =
\lambda$ and $\phi(r)=\exp\left(\lambda e^{-r}-1\right)$. Simple
computations give:
\begin{equation*}
f_{S_4}(x)=\frac{\ln(1-x)+\lambda +
1}{\lambda}\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-e^{-\lambda}]}(x) \;.
\end{equation*}
Using formula~1.6.5.3 of \cite{prudnikovetal} (page~244), one can
compute the $k$-th moment (with $k \in \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em N}$) of $S_4$:
\begin{equation*}
\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_4^k]= \frac{1}{\lambda(k+1)}\left[ \lambda + (1-e^{-\lambda})^{k+1} - \sum_{i=1}^{k+1}\frac{(1-e^{-\lambda})^i}{i} \right] \;.
\end{equation*}
In particular, we have $\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_4]= \tfrac{1}{2} -
\tfrac{1-e^{-2\lambda}}{4\lambda}$. One can also compute
the c.d.f of $S_4$ and, for any $x \in [0,1]$, we get:
\begin{equation*}
F_{S_4}(x) = \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em P} (S_4\leqslant x)= (x-\frac{1}{\lambda}(1-x)\ln(1-x))\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{[0,1-e^{-\lambda}]}(x)+\mbox{\rm \Large 1\hskip -0.353em 1}_{(1-e^{-\lambda},1]}(x) \;.
\end{equation*}
Thus, from the expression above, one can deduce that $S_4 \preceq_{st} S_1$.
\end{ex}

From the study of these four examples, one can observe that both $S_2$, $S_3$ and $S_4$ are stochastically smaller than $S_1$. Hence, the following conjecture looks appealing:

\begin{conj}
Let $S$ be the limiting distribution of the search cost associated to a sequence $\omega$ of iid positive random variables. Then, $S \preceq_{st} S_1$ where $S_1$ is a random distribution having the uniform distribution on the unit interval.
\end{conj}

This conjecture is compatible with some remarks in \cite{barreraparoissin}, more precisely with proposition~3.1 therein. Indeed, if the conjecture is right, then as a consequence we have $\mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S] \leqslant \mbox{\it I\hskip -0.177em E}[S_1] = \tfrac{1}{2}$. And this is precisely what is stated in  proposition~3.1. This conjecture can be interpreted as follows: the case with Dirac weights corresponds to the worst case. Despite our conjecture seems to be true, its proof seems to be difficult.

2012 French Open: Who Will Shine, Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams? 1101838http%3A%2F%2Fsportsthenandnow.com%2F2012%2F05%2F25%2F2012-french-open-who-will-shine-maria-sharapova-or-serena-williams%2F2012+French+Open%3A+Who+Will+Shine%2C+Maria+Sharapova+or+Serena+Williams%3F2012-05-25+15%3A26%3A27JA+Allenhttp%3A%2F%2Fsportsthenandnow.com%2F%3Fp%3D11018

The French Open gets underway on Sunday with Sharapova one of the favorites.
Finally, grand slam No. 2 gets underway Sunday, May 27, 2012 in Paris.
Thankfully, it marks the end of the ever-increasingly dull, dusty and predictable clay court season for the men.
While watching men play tennis on clay is second only to watching the grass grow, the women have presented far more entertainment on the clay in terms of survivors—overlooking the shrieking, sliding and assault of injuries.
Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova enter this year's French Open as the early favorites according to the latest news centered on the ladies draw for the second grand slam of the season.
Of the two, most look to Serena Williams to conquer the clay this season. The fact remains, however, that Serena Williams has not done so for a decade. The last time the younger Williams sister won the French Open title was in 2002. It turned out to be her only trip to the final, falling short in each of her other nine attempts.
Sharapova, on the other hand, has never yet made a final on the grounds of Stade Roland Garros.
The reason pundits and fans find Williams the most probable champion is because there is no viable clear-cut favorite on clay. Roland Garros has crowned highly improbable champions every season since Belgian Justine Henin first retired for in 2008.
In 2008 Serbian beauty Ana Ivanovic stepped up large to claim the French Open crown and the No. 1 spot for the ladies. She quickly faded after leaving Paris when her game fell apart and her ranking slowly sank of sight.
Next up, Svetlana Kuznetsova skyrocketed from the field in 2009 to steal the championship away from fellow Russian Dinara Safina who also lost the final in 2008. But like Ivanovic before her, Kuznetsova could find no more magic after leaving the grounds of Roland Garros in 2009. Since winning in Paris, Kuznetsova has disappeared, her ranking slowly receding.
The feisty Italian Francesca Schiavone refused to lose in 2010 as she wrestled the championship away from a revitalized Samantha Stosur. The Aussie, after defeating the former French Open winner Justine Henin, followed by Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic, could not quell the determination of Schiavone to seize the championship—her first at age 29.
But in 2011, Schiavone was the one who suffered defeat from an improbable source—Li Na of China who was also winning her first major. Like the three champions preceding her, however, Li Na suffered from post-French Open syndrome. Her game suffered and her ranking fell.

Victoria Azarenka is favored to win her first major down under.
As week one at the Australian Open in Melbourne draws to a close, there are some mouth-watering matches we earnestly pray will happen. They involve top-ranked players as well as aspiring new-comers hoping to reach the summit by upsetting those at the top.
We have already seen some heart-breakers like No. 6 seed Aussie Samantha Stosur stumbling out of the blocks as well as the top-ranked American Mardy Fish going out in the second round.
But when a door closes, a window opens. These upsets might unveil a new talent preparing his or her first full-fledged assault on a major.
As we head into round four, also called the round of 16, there are some challenging matches on tap—if only all the promised ones make it through the third round staging ground.
Following are the matches we sincerely hope will happen.

Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic wins in Istanbul.
From the beginning, 2011 made its mark as the "Year of Injuries" for the top-ranked women in tennis.
Serena Williams, who cut her foot on broken glass after the 2010 Wimbledon Tournament, was out of tennis for most of the year.
Sister Venus Williams also suffered from illness and injury throughout 2011.
Kim Clijsters, who won the 2011 Australian Open over Li Na of China, sprained her ankle and never was able to compete fully after April of this year.
Justine Henin retired for the second and last time in January of 2011 after further injuring her elbow at the Australian Open. It was the same elbow she injured in a fall at Wimbledon in 2010.
For the most part the old guard was disappearing, it seemed, in the blink of an eye. That meant new champions would emerge.
Therefore, 2011 quickly evolved into the "Year of the Newcomers" in women's tennis.
Li Na won the 2011 French Open, to claim her first major title.
Petra Kvitova, barely 21, won the 2011 Wimbledon title, defeating former champion Maria Sharapova in the final—even though the Williams sisters were competing once again.
Samantha Stosur finally won her first major at the US Open defeating Serena Williams in a brilliant display of tennis acumen and nerve.
The 2011 season culminated in Istanbul at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships where the elite eight women met to battle for the final title of the season.

Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic Wins Wimbledon
Who has not heard the news? A whole new era is afoot in women's tennis.
Considering the players who captured headlines and the attention of tennis pundits during the second week of the 2011 Wimbledon Championships – you quickly surmised that the usual suspects were missing in action.
Gone was defending champion Serena Williams who had held the Rosewater Dish aloft four times, hoping that 2011 would bring her five.
Another Wimbledon win would tie Serena with her older sister Venus Williams who had won the All England Club Championship five times. Venus was also no longer in the house.
Absent, too, were French Open champion Li Na, who lost in the second round in a fierce contest as well as the No. 1 seed Caroline Wozniacki who failed again to make the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
No. 2 ranked Kim Clijsters never checked in for Championships, still sidelined with an ankle injury.
That left the field wide open for a newly invigorated Maria Sharapova, the wide-eyed power game of German Sabine Lisicki, the finely-honed game of Victoria Azarkena and the excellent grass-court assault of Petra Kvitova. It was a worthy fortnight – an ultimate contrast in competence and mental fortitude.
The "Power Rankings" are compiled and presented by JA Allen, Marianne Bevis and Feng Rong using . We present the periodic rankings at least four times a year.
Following are the latest top ten in our women's tennis power rankings as determined at the conclusion of the 2011 Wimbledon Championships in London.

Li Na wins the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen in Paris
China is known for its domination in the sport of table-tennis, but in tennis it is a completely different story.
Indeed, tennis has long been dominated by players from Europe, America and Australia. While Asian players like Kimiko Date-Krumm (former world No. 4) and Paradorn Srichaphan (former world No. 9) were able to win a few titles and make some deep runs in Grand Slams, Asia has failed to produce one single major champion. Until now.
Li Na, from Wuhan China, became the first Asian player to reach a Grand Slam final at the 2011 Australian Open (l. to Kim Clijsters). And at the 2011 French Open, she went one-step further and became the first Grand Slam champion from her continent by defeating the defending champion from Italy, Francesca Schiavone.
Many claimed this year's French Open the "most open" Grand Slam in recent years, and so it proved to be. None of the top four seeds were able to make it to the semifinals, and the "favorite" for the crown changed after each passing day. Not many predicted the final line-up of Li and Schiavone, even fewer picked the Chinese woman to win the title. But against all odds, Li conquered the Parisian clay and for ever etched her name in the annals of tennis.
It is hard enough to make it to a major final, and it is even harder to win it. Many players faltered at the last hurdle (one needs to look no further than the dropping out list below). To make it to two consecutive Grand Slam finals is no small feat. And to win the second final after losing the first one takes courage, dedication and enormous self-belief. To be a champion, you must have the heart of a champion.
This installment of our women's power rankings is a tribute to the 2011 French Open Champion, Li Na from China. Her success will for sure serve as an inspiration to the next generation of young players from China and Asia.

Russian Maria Sharapova
As the 2011 French Open gets underway next week, the women's field remains wide open. There is no clear cut favorite for the title.
In fact, there has never been a true favorite heading into Paris since Justine Henin announced her first retirement from tennis in 2008.
The champions crowned in Henin's absence have been great surprises––like Ana Ivanovic in 2008, Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2009 and Francesca Schiavone in 2010.
The good news for tennis fans is that Kim Clijsters will be returning to action in Paris with her ankle severely taped. The Belgian, however, will not have the needed warm-up time on the clay to give her adequate preparation for a win in Paris.
In addition to the top 10 women listed in our power ranking, there are other players who merit our attention as we get ready to crown another French Open champion in 2011. These "also to be watched" players are as follows:
Kim Clijsters can never be discounted at any major tournament regardless of her physical injuries. As the winner of the last two slams at the 2011 Australia Open and at the 2010 U.S. Open, Clijsters will be looking to win this French Open crown. This remains a title that has eluded her in the past.
Svetlana Kuznetsova won the French Open title in 2009 and has the game to win the title again. After her campaign in Marbella where the Russian made the semifinals, Kuznetsova has not fared well on the clay. She will definitely be looking to improve on the grounds at Stade Roland Garros.
Ana Ivanovic has done nothing to suggest that she can win the French Open title again. Still, as a former champion, she has to be considered as a dark horse coming in because she knows exactly what it takes to win it all on clay. Everyone hopes to see the Serbian beauty win in Paris, but the odds are not in her favor this year.
Andrea Petkovic is another of the surging German women who has been making a name for herself on the World stage in tennis. Although Petkovic has not done well on the clay, she is a dangerous player with the potential to do well on any surface.
Our top 10 rankings are based on the four most recent tournament results and the WTA ranking points awarded. The points are aged with the most recent receiving the most points. Following are the top 10 women poised to win at Roland Garros starting Monday in Paris.
JA Allen, Marianne Bevis and Ronger Fengerer write the Power Ranking series.

George Blanda: NFL's Great Old Man
December 15, 2019 | 3:07 pm
The Sports Then and Now Vintage Athlete of the Month had two separate careers in pro football that combined to make him one of the legendary players of his era (or eras).
George Blanda, who played a record 26 years in professional football and didn't retire from the NFL until the age of 48, is best remembered for his nine-year stint as the crusty old kicker and miracle maker for the Oakland Raiders of the late 1960s and early 1970s. However, his career transcended generations and connected legends.

Princeton Hills is one of the crown jewels of upscale neighborhoods found in Williamson County, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. The community of 160 luxury and estate homes is located at Franklin Road and Murray Lane in the City of Brentwood. This prestigious community offers home designs with a diversified blend of European design, contemporary models, and traditional styles.
The community also features thirty-two acres of common area that includes walking trails along creeks, greenways and connections to nearby neighborhoods. Events and parties throughout the year bring neighbors together to create a welcoming community.
The neighborhood is within walking distance of Brentwood Middle School and Brentwood High School, and only a short drive from Scales Elementary School - some of the top ranked schools in Tennessee and the nation.

The heritage of this area dates back to the Civil War Era when several of the historical battles of Nashville were fought on the grounds of the plantations that filled the land along Franklin Road and Granny White Pike. The entrance to Princeton Hills features a magnificent carved mural that depicts one of the famous battles fought between Confederate and Union troops from that era.

$date = date('d-M-Y', strtotime($dates));

or
$date = date('d-F-Y', strtotime($dates));

This is a video of the race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral. The true story of an undersized Depression-era racehorse and the, at that point, unbeaten Champion War Admiral.
What has that to do with the Dharma? A good question, and I asked myself why on earth I should, after much reflection, put such a video in the web page as a surprise.
After a lifetime of teaching I have come to respect the old Japanese proverb regarding the teachings, which declares, "Do not fish in dry streams", yet I often remind myself of the Barbadian proverb which declares, "When yuh see a man fishing in a dry pond, don't call 'e a fool". So I go on fishing with the clear understanding that in this world of Samsara the Buddha Dharma is not, in its pure sense, a viable product for the Samsaric mind.
Expedient means, golden temples and promises of quick and easy salvation draw the thousands, but only a handful of those who come to the Dharma actually generate sufficient force and courage to leave behind their clinging and craving.
Within Chan I present the truth of the Dharma as the ancients knew and practiced it and it is not at all easy. It is not that the practices are difficult in and of themselves, but in this modern world the temptations are greater and the human mind is globalized and greedily grabbing for the unreachable goal of a false happiness.
We are in a time of crisis, which is far less damaging to the human spirit than the great Depression was. But in America at the time there arose almost a little miracle. That miracle was called Seabiscuit. Just an undersized horse.
I remember at five or six sitting with my father and grandfather listening on an old crystal radio, happy to hear anything over the static, to this famous race between the courageous Seabiscuit and War Admiral.
War Admiral was a strong and mighty champion. It represented, in the eyes of the ordinary man, all that the Depression stood for. Mismanagement of the wealthy, with little or no consequences, for what is a million here or there, in a manner that the middle classes and poor were destroyed. The owner was wealthy and there was a great arrogance surrounding the stables and particularly the feats of War Admiral.
So while War Admiral represented the wealthy establishment, little Seabiscuit represented the millions out of work and tormented by the lack of a future. Seabiscuit won race after race with ordinary level competition, but what it did was give the poor a different image of the underdog. Seabiscuit represented the image of a potential non-valued human being to also rise above adversity and win.
At that time it represented the two faces of Samsara, the false happiness of the wealthy and successful and the suffering of the poor who craved what the others had on the other side of the fence. Seabiscuit gave them hope and a promise of a successful pursuit of happiness if you had enough guts to reach for it.
Perhaps you can see where I am heading here, for we could also say that War Admiral and his environment represented all of Samsara and the Seabiscuit represented not the other suffering half of Samsara, but the spirit necessary to reach beyond Samsara altogether to the inner voice of the true human spirit which aims at the Survival beyond Samsara, which is the revelation that a truly better life without suffering at all is possible.
I find it surprising that in these days when millions are out of work, with relations stretched to breaking point, few who now suffer plant the idea of a completely different life for themselves that is not chained to credit and the axe at the end of the swinging pendulum.
But no, I know that when the crisis falls away, little John and Jane Doe will be out there asking for credit once more to buy what they really don't need and only desire and then cling to what they have as possesions that really have no value.
You will dredge up thousand dissonant excuses. My children need an Education! I have to make a living! I am older now and the future is ahead! What else can I do?
I am reminded then of another horse that has no name.
I wonder how much he paid for those wonderful feathers in his headdress?
How much was the bank debt for his teepee?
What exactly is his job?
Can he trust the wise men of the tribe with his children's education?
Wow, he sure had problems!
Of course he didn't know that soon the "white man" would come around and teach him what "owning property" was all about. His wife didn't know that she was not liberated because she couldn't ride and hunt like her husband.
Really I don't know how they managed to survive before whisky and banks came along.
They must have been really unhappy without Formula 1 or football to watch. They didn't even have telephones or TV, so what did the women do except care for the kids, work at their tasks and be united as part of the whole tribe?
Now that is a monstrous idea! Caring for kids when they could pay someone else for doing it... and that idea of putting your own Identity down for the good of the tribe is really preposterous... and all that mishmosh of being close to nature with Manitou is a bit obsolete, I suppose. One day, I am sure, in the future man will be able to visit a museum of natural history and actually see what a tree looked like and actually taste a sample of pure water.
Anyway they would have had a great problem if they were around today, for it is damned difficult to pin those useless bits of paper called diplomas to a teepee wall.
Do you get the point? So today life is difficult and what would the neighbors say if you turned in your car for a horse and your wife didn't shop at those neat stores any more?
Yes, life is difficult... or is it really, if you were to look at life in a different way and change your chip?
Difficulties are there to be solved. They can be solved with correct solutions which don't bring greater problems in their wake.
Let us return for a moment now to Seabiscuit.
After his win with War Admiral he went on to more victories until one day he ruptured the ligaments of his leg in a race. He naturally in the normal greedy course of events would be sacrificed. Who wants to keep feeding a horse that can't earn more than his keep?
But Seabiscuit was a nationwide symbol and could never be put down, though the vets declared he could never race again.
Now enters the picture another character. The Jockey who had brought Seabiscuit to its peak and had never had the chance to race against War Admiral, because he mysteriously had his leg destroyed in an accident, never to ride again, came back into the scene.
A horse that would never race again came back together with a young man who cound never ride a horse again. As the Jockey himself said, they had four good legs between the two of them. You know the end of the story. If not, then I recommend seeing the film history later produced.
Compassion that was true and human, for a mere horse, benevolent affect, changed to action and gladness, that he could bring gladness once more to a destroyed horse brought about the happy ending that you could bring for yourself.
Both eventually raced again and won and won.
Can you see what I am saying here?
You, as a human creature, are destroyed, with or without a crisis, living in a dream world perhaps knowing suffering, perhaps not.
You have in your possesion a crippled horse, your mind that is filled with foolishness and social conditioning put in place by State, church and education.
But if you nurture the natural survival which is in place and hidden within you, you and your mind can race again. But not to win races or to gain a victory over adversaries, but to run free without the stained-mind restrictions imposed by your conditioning.
These pages show you how to begin, how to train and feed the horse, how to walk and how to run, how to be and ordinary human being without suffering or false happiness. You can learn here, how to be as one with the dusty world and all of life without the chains of self-imposed foolishness.
You can learn how to be a father or mother and friend to all living creatures. You can learn that man not only cannot live on bread alone, but also should not strangle himself with supermarket products and credit cards.
It is true that a rich man cannot go through the gate called the Eye of a Needle with his possesions on his back, but that does not mean that he cannot use the true tools of progress or the true Dharma education that can make him a noble man and a human creature. He can actually, if he wills, cast aside the stained-mind tortured robot who can't even see the stains or the suffering within himself, without losing a thing of real human value.
It is, after all, in your hands. I can do no more than tell you where you can drink the cool water of the Path. You must bring the white horse, your mind, to the pond, like the Indian above.
What will you decide? The pursuit of foolish unattainable happiness or the full well-being of a natural life, even within Samsara?

8. The Underdog
by We Came to Win
Making it to the World Cup had long been a dream of American defender Jimmy Conrad's, and at the age of 29, he finally got his chance. U.S. coach Bruce Arena named Jimmy to the 2006 World Cup squad. Unfortunately, he spent the first game watching from the bench. It wasn't until deep into the second game, when the U.S. was down a man and fighting for survival against the powerful Italians, that Jimmy was called in. Hear how he went from riding the bench to holding the line in one of the most epic matches in U.S. soccer history.

10. Mutiny at the 2015 World Cup
We Came to Win
For years the Spanish women's national team was treated like an afterthought by their coach and the Spanish Football Federation. The team's most basic needs were ignored, they were paid almost nothing, and the coach regularly disrespected them. But when they qualified for the 2015 World Cup, they knew they had an opportunity to change that. They could harness the world's attention and finally deman...
9. The World's Most Hated Referee
Say the name Byron Moreno to any fan of Italian soccer and you're likely to get the same response: that guy is the worst. It all stems from one game at the 2002 World Cup where Moreno was the referee. It was a match between Italy and South Korea that resulted in an unlikely upset for South Korea. Italian fans have never gotten over it, insisting Moreno was part of a huge scandal to fix the results ...

Carson Wentz making what he can from a bad hand
In another year, Carson Wentz might have had a career day.
Instead, Eagles fans will have to settle for an unforgettable ill-fated comeback attempt that fell short. Two late touchdown passes and another on the ground relegated to the QBs tales of remember whens and almosts in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Ravens.
"He played tough," said Eagles coach Doug Pederson. "He played smart. He's a resilient guy. This is a resilient group. He rallied his troops and made some tough throws against a really good defense."
More:Eagles' comeback without Miles Sanders, Zach Ertz comes up just short in loss to Ravens
More:Moore: Eagles shouldn't be buyers at the NFL trade deadline
The embattled Eagle quarterback hasn't had a legitimate good break since his daughter was born in the off season.
In the first half, Wentz threw what easily could have been three touchdowns.
In the first quarter, the QB sent a bolt down the right sideline to a wide-open John Hightower that the rookie flat-out dropped. A rare blown coverage by the excellent Ravens defense is too good an opportunity to waste.
In the second, Wentz found Miles Sanders in the end zone but Sanders twisted himself into a pretzel while trying to catch a ball coming right out of the October sun. Wentz couldn't have thrown a better pass.
At the end of the half, Wentz put a Hail Mary pass into last week's hero Travis Fulgham's hands at the goal line. Fulgham had both hands on the ball at the goal line and might not have broken the plane but there was no way to tell when he didn't come down with the ball.
"You just feel there's a back-against-the-wall, time to make plays mentality," Wentz said. "You have to just cut it loose and play. You have to give guys an opportunity down field. You have to give guys a chance to make plays."
Heck, if any of those passes had been caught, or if the line had had any kind of push on the fourth-and-one try Wentz came up short on, the Eagles night have had a much different day.
"The resiliency of this team is not something i think you can question," Wentz said. "The toughness of these guys. We have guys stepping up, that maybe just got here this week, all over the board. There's a lot we can learn from. The fight and effort is something i'm so proud of these guys for."
If, If, If. But. But. But.
Wentz has gotten his fair share of criticism this season. He's gotten well compensated for it, too. Still, no Eagles player has done more to try to pull the team out of mediocrity.
Sunday marked the fifth different group of offensive linemen to start a game for the team. In all, 10 different offensive linemen have started for the Eagles this season. That number doesn't include Brandon Brooks or Andre Dillard, who never made it to opening day. The Ravens sacked Wentz six times and hit him a total of 16 times
"Carson doesn't need to show me anything," center Jason Kelce said. "I know who he is. I know who he's been since he's been here. He's fought through a lot of hits, really, all year. The second half was a really good showing by him and the receivers and they made some huge plays for us."
Five different sets of receivers have started a game for the Eagles in six games. That's a a total of five wide receivers and three tight ends. All the while, Alshon Jeffrey has yet to make his 2020 debut.
Only Kelce and Zach Ertz have joined Wentz in the starting lineup every Sunday.
Wentz keep soldiering along.
"You'e putting guys in here who might have only been here a week," Wentz said. "All these injuries, you can't control it. Honestly, it's the least favorite part of the game. I hate seeing it. You don't have time to worry about it during a game. Who's up next? How can we get them up to speed in the game."

My Japanese Sega Saturn and Super Famicom came in the mail today after 3 months of traveling on a boat.
Now I just have to get some AV cables for the Saturn...
noiiiiice. :0

Because waifus
@Kraus: Here's what I use. Not too expensive, and good quality to it
Quote from: Penti-chan on September 15, 2015, 10:19:30 pm
Ordered.
I'll probably start picking up SCART cables soon enough for everything though because S-Video is good but not as good as straight RGB goodness
True; I'd love to eventually go RGB, but on my TV, I'd also need a SCART to HDMI adapter or something of that sort
(At least, an HDMI mod for the N64 is in the works. Once they have it finalized and begin offering upgrade services, I might do it to mine)

last game i played was megaman battle network 3: blue
was in bed and couldn't get to sleep, so i whipped out my good old friend and a flashlight :^)
felt nostalgic
i beat Mega Mawile a few days ago after using the online strategy of using a moves +5 and a disruption delay. given that checking in daily only gives you 500 coins, and combined those items cost about 2400, it takes a few days to save up that much. thankfully, i entered a few codes and got some freebies, but otherwise it's becoming a slight pain in the ass since i've been past more than one mega level and now a non-mega needs it since it's such a bitch puzzle.... >>;;;
So, I decided to try and beat Magic Knight Rayearth. Just defeated a giant spider boss at the end of this dungeon -w-
niiiice. -w-
if the kids go for it, Steve's going to be featuring all of us in a Pathfinder game he'll be running for the kids....as goblin NPCs.
Nice xD
(Goblins are cool -w-)
Played some Sakura Wars, plays amazingly well for how old it is. Really a gem for the Saturn, glad I picked it up.
Need to get a memory expansion for Vampire Savior to play but I already know that its a great fighting classic that is overlooked most of the time.
AirAdventure is the shitiest game I've ever booted up, like its just... so fucking bad on every level.
Tokimeki Memorial is a classic and plays just like the Playstation version so no complains there.
Got a shit ton of Famicom and SuFami games that I still need to test and play through, I'll give updates when I start them.

Cool. I only own one Super Famicom game (Rockman X3), and might eventually pick up some others that the Japanese version is cheaper than the English version (Super Mario Kart, for example), and doesn't have the issue of the language barrier (Every RPG ever).
On a different note, has anyone ever played a game, but eventually found themselves losing interest in playing it because of knowing how the story ends, combined with various other factors? Like, take Persona 3 for example...details in the spoiler:
[spoiler=Persona 3]I've had my file going for close to 5 years now, and although I'm basically at the end of the game, I just can't bring myself to sit down and finish it. I'm at the point where all the major bosses, save for the final boss, are defeated, the original antagonist is dead, and the only major story thing coming up is a bit where you're given an option between killing this one character that is basically P3's equivalent to Kaworu Nagisa from Evangelion (Which, I rolled my eyes at his introduction; he's a mysterious transfer student introduced in the final act of the story. As someone that watched Eva, it's painfully obvious what's about to happen), or letting him live.
If you kill him right then and there, you get the bad ending; where everyone except Aigis (The robot girl) lose their memories and return to living normal lives, blissfully unaware that they're all going to die in a couple of months because now there's nobody to save the world. Although one could argue this as an extended Game Over sequence for making a very bad decision, it's treated by the game as an alternate ending; with a credits roll and allowing you to do a New Game+ with your file.
However, if you don't kill him, the story continues on for an additional 2 in-game months before the true final battle...where, at the end of it all, your character sacrifices himself in order to prevent the Third Impact and save the world. This one's considered the True Ending, and is the one that's considered canon. This is the ending I accidentally spoiled, and really, I'm at a point in the game where there's nothing left but that to happen. I mean, I could still do social links and grind in Tartarus to pass the time, but I have a good 2 in-game months to push through before the final boss, with nothing to do but those two things, as I heard many fans point out that the story effectively stops until just before the final boss fight.
Don't get me wrong; I did enjoy Persona 3, but knowing how it ends, and the predictable nature of the Kaworu clone, really kills any interest in trying to finish it. Which, had they just stuck to Quicksand Jesus Takaya as the main antagonist on through to the end, they probably would have better held my interest, or if they had even stuck to Ikuski, your group's leader, being the true mastermind behind it all.[/spoiler]
awwww man, you played Sakura Wars!? i've always wanted to try it, wasn't only one english-language one made (and for the Playstation to boot)? were you playing a Japanese import?

About your screen printers….Raul and Kevin first met in the late 90's participating in the DIY(Do it Yourself) punk scene in Southern California. Quickly becoming good friends they strarted playing music together and touring the country together. This led to the pair screen printing tshirts, record covers, and tour posters together, as a necesity to fuel these tours. During this time period friends starterd to ask Raul and Kevin to print their bands shirts and more. This was the catalyst that jump started Calimucho Screen Printing in a 3 story Victorian house in San Pedro, California in 2007. They printed shirts for local bands, the skateboard community, local schools as well as printing at live skateboard and music related events, Calimucho became a destination of creation and fun. Kevin decided to shake things up and moved to Portland, OR in 2013 and now two Calimucho's were off and running. Shortly after relocating to Portland Kevin began working for Ryonet and became the lead instructor for the Screen Print Experience classes, a perfect marriage of his screen printing past combined with teaching middle school for 10 years.. Fast forward to 2017 Kevin moved back to San Pedro to rejoin with Raul and this is where Calimucho stands now, a new physical commercial location, equipment upgrades and new partners to teach Ryonet's Screen Print Experience class in San Pedro, Ca. The future looks brite as their goal is to become automatic in the next year.

After looking back through old posts and coming across one about the transits/ significant changes in a person's life and thinking more about the ten to twenty major events that occur in an individual's lifespan. I decided to look more at our changing lives and fortunes.
Jupiter and Pluto have a lot to say about our changing fortunes, and even Saturn is said to be an indicator of limitations and 'bad luck'. Saturn is also a signification for a time in our lives when we make permanent and rewarding changes, and we make an attempt to create greater security. Jupiter in astrology means wealth, luck and growth, and Pluto also means wealth (usually hidden), evolution, and far-reaching changes. Pluto also relates to bankruptcy, and this can be on a material, emotional or physical level, representing a time where we feel losses of all kinds.
So it's time for a pop quiz to assess the changing fortunes of these two lucky and unlucky individuals. Here are the charts below, and one belongs to a missing person presumed dead after crashing her car into a snow bank on a highway. The reason for her disappearance is confusing, mystifying, and remains unsolved. The lady in question had a good education, family, friends and boyfriend. The day she went missing she emailed her teachers to say she had family troubles, and would be away for a few days, and then went off to withdraw funds from her account for the trip.
The other chart belongs to a lady who won the lottery, but the winning ticket was controversial and led to court cases and finally settlement. The individual found the winning slip in a pile of other discarded tickets. First take a look at the two charts below including transits and decide which chart belongs to the missing person, and which chart belongs to the lottery winner. When you are ready click the button below to reveal the answer.
Chart one is the lottery winner, and at the time of finding the winning ticket, transiting Jupiter (luck, opportunity, blessing) was conjunct her natal Ascendant, and beginning a transit to her natal Moon in Cancer. We can feel (Moon) luckier and there is an emotionally wealthy and abundant feeling under these transits. We feel that our personal life improves, and sometimes there is a sense of personal riches. We are usually in a good and generous mood, and our domestic life feels pleasant. Transiting Jupiter also formed a square to natal Pluto and this is an aspect I would associate with fortunes swinging significantly. It can indicate major losses or gains and there was some trouble and conflict connected with winning such a large amount of money (Jupiter-Pluto). I mentioned in a previous post that Jupiter-Pluto transits may also bring legal (Jupiter) trouble (Pluto).
Transiting Jupiter was still in orb and trine to natal Uranus, and this is another signification of fortunes changing for the better, and can indicate sudden (Uranus) windfalls (Jupiter). Transiting Saturn trined Pluto and this can signify a period of resourcefulness, self-control, and sustained regenerative ability. Natally we might also consider Jupiter at the 29th degree of Taurus (critical degree) in this lady's natal chart conjunct the part of fortune. Astrologer Carol Rushman says this on the critical degrees of Taurus.
Transiting Uranus at 28 degrees was also squaring Jupiter and the part of fortune when her financial fortunes changed.
Chart Two is the horoscope of the missing woman, at the time of her disappearance she had transiting Jupiter trine the Sun in Taurus and in the house of money (2nd) and this could be viewed as a time of material gain, luck in life, and opportunity, so this one aspect may have thrown you in the analysis of the two charts. The lady did draw out some funds from her bank and took some possessions with her on the trip.
However, there were some difficult transits at play, and transiting Saturn was square to her Moon-Mars conjunction. Mars-Saturn is often found in transit with car delays, serious accidents, violence, or times of enormous frustration, depression, and a feeling of being restricted and blocked. An individual under such a transit may feel overstressed and burdened by too much responsibility. Transiting Uranus square Mercury can show rebellious thinking, disrupted journeys, and sudden changes in our plans. Transiting Neptune is in the 12th house of confusion, strange happenings and weird events in an exact square to her Sun (self). Neptune transits represent confusing times in our lives, and also rules strange disappearances. The lady was definitely entering a "nebulous period", and you can read more about Sun-Neptune Transits in this post.
Transiting Pluto is also forming a conjunction to the mid-heaven revealing a major change in life direction, and it was approaching a square to natal Venus in Pisces rising, signifying change in her personal values, relationships and fortunes (Venus the lesser benific). Natally she has a full 7th house with Saturn-Pluto in the 7th and Jupiter-Pluto conjunct there as well, and this represents her changing fortunes and struggles in relationships and meetings with others in general.

Gdansk, located in northern Poland, is a city that thrives on its connection to the sea. In Gdansk, you'll see a giant medieval harbor crane, a monument to fallen shipyard workers, and plenty of amber - which, of course, washes up on Gdansk's beaches. Enjoy a panorama of this Polish city from the top of St. Mary's Church, pass through Gdansk's famous gates, and visit some of its best museums, too.
Harbor Crane
Mariusz Kluzniak / Getty Images
After you pass through the Green Gate at the end of Long Street, you will find yourself on the bank of the Motlawa River. The view from the bridge gives you your first impression of life on Gdansk's riverfront, but the medieval harbor crane immediately draws your eye. Looming over the water, this structure is a testament to Gdansk's historic relationship with the sea. The crane was built in 1444, which makes it Europe's oldest crane. If you walk under the crane, you can view its inner workings with its massive rope and gears.
Banks of the Motlawa River

Walk along the banks of the Motlawa river to find charming seafood restaurants, amber and crystal vendors, shops carrying nautical products, floating cafes, the maritime museum, and historic sea-faring vessels.
High Gate or Upland Gate
Charles03 / Getty Images
Called either the High Gate or the Upland Gate, this silvery-gray brick facade marks the beginning of Gdansk's so-called Royal Route, through which the king would pass on his visits to the city. This 16th-century gate was originally a part of Gdansk's defensive system, but it now stands as an isolated structure. The bricks are unusual in that they bear a leaf-like pattern, and overhead, you'll see the crests of Gdansk, Poland, and Prussia.

Long Street is called "Dluga" on Polish-language maps, and this is where you will see the bulk of Gdansk's Main Town sights. Long Street is the cultural and historical heart of Main Town, where you will find many museums, works of architecture, cafes, shops, and photo opportunities.
Continue to 5 of 10 below.
Main Town Hall and History Museum

Main Town Hall can be seen on any walk through Long Street, as well as from the tower of St. Mary's Church. The reconstructed medieval Main Town Hall of Gdansk is now a history museum. Visit it to gain perspective on Gdansk's long and interesting history through exhibits that include weapons, art, and historic artifacts.
St. Mary's Church is the largest brick church in the world, and a climb to the roof offers unparalleled panoramas of Gdansk. Before you hike up the 400-plus stairs to reach the top tower, however, take a moment to enjoy the cool atmosphere of the church interior. Here you'll see relics from the past, including a wooden pieta, a 500-year-old astronomical clock, and a three-dimensional tryptic of the Last Judgement.
Royal Chapel of St. Mary's

The Royal Chapel of St. Mary's Church was built by King Jan III Sobieski in Baroque style. Its sherbert-colored face with ivory columns stands out in surprising contrast to the dark brick of the church itself.
Monument to Fallen Shipyard Workers
Corbis via Getty Images / Getty Images
The northern edge of Gdansk's Old Town is known for having made history as recently as the last century. The Gdansk Shipyards, formerly the Lenin Shipyards, was the location of a workers' uprising. Solidarnosc, or Solidarity, was the name chosen for the trade union formed by shipyard workers in Gdansk during the 1970s, which finally won governmental recognition despite severe persecution of its members. The workers' struggle is commemorated with a gigantic monument, as well as with smaller plaques placed around the courtyard outside the shipyard gates.
Great Mill
ShevchenkoAndrey / Getty Images
The Great Mill is now a shopping center, but from 1350 to 1945, this mill was the largest working medieval mill in Europe. If you venture inside the Great Mill, you'll be able to see items found during excavations at the site. In its original form, the structure served as a flour mill, granary, and bakery, and the exterior still exhibits a working water wheel.
Old Town Hall
Visit Gdansk
Visit the Town Hall of the Old City for glimpses of 17th-century interiors and a visit to the Baltic Sea Culture Center. The Old Town Hall is a remnant of the past when the old town and main towns of Gdansk were separate entities. Both town halls were initially built during the 14th century; despite its name, Old Town is no older than Main Town.
