Deadlines are here for Abilene & Mabry

Late reminder. Deadline for Mabry is tonight (200 pointer in San Antonio, starts Feb. 5). Deadline for Abilene Major Zone is tomorrow night (400 pointer, also starts Feb. 5). Abilene probably a worthwhile trip for any of the freshly-bumped-up players who want the best shot at getting some hefty next level points. All the major zone gets a lot tougher competition-wise after this one.

Too bad I'm injured again and won't be going to either of those events JM.

Look for Kallus to be the winner of both events. He has been training in secret with Schmucker, and both are going to make a big move in 2010.

kallus training with schmucker...hmmm... two average 4.0 players training to win a 4.5 major. the math doesn't match up.

Anonymous said...

playing tennis for fun is not training. kallus & schmucker have hit regularly since I met them back in 2000 so if someone knows of them hitting, who cares. kallus isn't even playing tournaments anymore so please don't start the usual bullshit up again.

AMEN brother.

Anonymous said...

with all this talk of how good some on you are; the question is:
- has kallus ever won a tourney?
- will schmucker ever win another tourney
- will goldberg and morton ever win a doubles tourney?

Those are not questions anyone who comes to this blog gives a shit about. These are all cool guys who enjoy playing tennis, just leave it at that.

"Pissed off? What else," Davydenko replied when asked how he felt about his play during Federer's run of successive games.

"But what else [could I do]? Bad luck. [I'll] go home tomorrow [and] relax."

What makes those guys cool? Do they watch Happy Days?

I have not seen any of those guys post using their real name. Guys post using your names, so you can prove me wrong. If you do I will agree with the other anonymous and say you are cool dude.

I'm certainly not cool but they are.

No reason to bash other local Houston players on here. None of us make any money off these tournaments, in fact we spend way too much now that it seems every tournament is raising entry fees. Now bashing out of town players I have nothing against that.

I know for fact most out of town dudes are not cool. Like our local folks. You out of town folks are nerds.

Well done Federer said...

Murray paid a tribute of his own to Federer, fighting back the tears as he addressed the crowd.

"I can cry like Roger, it's just a shame I can't play like him," he said to huge cheers.

Federer sportingly tried to console Murray. "Andy you're too good a player not win a grand slam, so don't worry about it," he said.

[color=#445566]Hi

With the continuing rise in popularity of facebook poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker many phishers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned yahoo poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few hands of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/color]

[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]

[color=#445566]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:

Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a sexy girl in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.

Be careful about what you download: Serious online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are plenty of sites on the internet having facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.

Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Phishers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the hacker who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.

YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.

Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.

Hope these tips help you saving your chips.

Easily I agree but I dream the post should secure more info then it has.

More than likely the spam is not coming from tennis players in Houston, it is probably coming from a spambot, so it doesn't really do much good to rant and rave about it.

Ask Chris Towle, he posts on the League blog and configured it somehow to eliminate the spam.

The Bodegas Renacer is a new winery, but the grapes come from 50 year old vines that produce dense, concentrated grapes. All of the critics adore this wine. So much so, that it's a triple-91+ pointer! Famed enologist Alberto Antonini oversaw the winemaking, yielding a fragrant, layered Malbec with excellent balance. At under $20, it's a great value. Grab it!

I dreamed last night I was some sort of amoeba, capable of splitting myself into independently functioning pieces. Some difficulties arose -- it took me two hours to decide between trail mix and Froot Loops -- but there was one enormous benefit. For the first time, I was able to stay in touch with the men's tennis tour.

Anonymous said...

There I was in Zagreb, Croatia, watching local heroes Marin Cilic and Ivo Karlovic play an ATP indoor event. I was also in Santiago, Chile, for Fernando Gonzalez' surprising loss in the semifinals, as well as Johannesburg, South Africa, for the Feliciano Lopez-Gael Monfils match. I would have stayed longer, somewhere, except I couldn't find Roger Federer, Andy Murray or Juan Martin del Potro to save my life.

These tournaments were so obscure, so utterly ignored by the American press, you might be surprised to learn they were taking place at once. It must be one hell of a successful sport if it can blithely send its players around the globe for three simultaneous events, but it's a terribly misguided sport, as well. This is the tour that never ends (for women, as well), and in fact seems to expand uncontrollably. Only the real tennis nuts follow it with a passion, while the general public waves the white flag of surrender.

I'm currently in San Jose, where the wounded Andy Roddick will try to singlehandedly keep the SAP Open in a must-see frame of mind. There's another tournament going on in Rotterdam, and because it's not a cracking good week on the men's tour without a third event, they're playing one in Brazil, as well.

Next week: Memphis, Marseille and Buenos Aires. The week after: Acapulco, Dubai and Delray Beach, Florida. Seriously. I am not making this up.

Too much. Way, way too much tennis. There's nothing wrong with a veritable avalanche of play, such as a two-week stay at Wimbledon, watching all the best men, women, girls and boys play on exquisite grass courts all day long. Fans depart all the majors in a swirl of nostalgia, wishing it could last just a little bit longer. It's just that tennis knows no off-season; it doesn't know how to take a break, give everyone a rest, create a worldwide mood in which people actually start missing the sport.

Anonymous said...

Checking the men's calendar for 2010, you assume it's some kind of joke. The first tournament started Jan. 4 in Qatar, and without a break of any consequence, the "season" lasts through the third week of November (the World Tour Finals in London) and into early December for the Davis Cup finals. "It's ridiculous to think that you have a professional sport that doesn't have a legitimate off-season to rest, get healthy and then train," Roddick said recently. "I think too much is asked of us, playing 11 months of the year. It don't think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out why people are getting hurt. It's just in the best interests of the game that we get some kind of off-season."

Roddick, stifled by the onset of a nerve problem in his right arm, was one of several stars playing hurt at the recent Australian Open. In just the third week of the year, a time when everyone should be fresh and invigorated, there were significant injuries to Roddick, Del Potro, Murray, Rafael Nadal, James Blake, Mikhail Youzhny, Marcos Baghdatis, Lleyton Hewitt, Robin Soderling and Tommy Haas during the tournament. There was more chaos on the women's side, notably the banged-up Serena Williams and Dinara Safina, who had to withdraw from the first tournament of the year (in Brisbane), due to severe back pain, and limped out of Melbourne, as well.

Good grief dude, you are killing me.

We have reached the point where a complete, healthy, top-flight field is a virtual impossibility -- anywhere, any time. When Serena earned the year's No. 1 ranking late last year in Daha, Qatar, she was up against what Inside Tennis writer Matt Cronin described as a "physically devastated" field. By late October on the men's side, a series of injuries and withdrawls left the stands shockingly empty for the inaugural Shanghai Masters. Fans have become all too familiar with the kind of physical or emotional burnout that has tormented the likes of Nadal, Andre Agassi, Marat Safin, Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova in recent years.

"The way it's structured," said Venus Williams, "the tour runs away its top players when they should be at the height of their wisdom and talent. But it's impossible to play 10 years in a row, 11 months of the year and be physically and mentally ready. It's too brutal. We lose a lot of star power because of how relentless it is."

The critiques keep coming, from the likes of Nadal, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, all calling for major schedule revisions. Is anyone listening? Apparently not, for there is no stopping the overwhelming forces of worldwide opulence.

Pick any city on either tour -- it's a seemingly endless list -- and there are extremely wealthy people who can't wait to spend millions of dollars, sponsor a pro event, put on their tennis shorts, schmooze with the elite and generally act like bigshots. These are magnificent, cosmopolitan cities, for the most part. Players see the irresistible lure of travel, revenue, rankings points, reputation, and perhaps some exotic late-night companionship (never rule out the sex factor at the top level of any sport).

Taken individually, each of these events looks wonderful. It doesn't seem to matter that a given field won't be close to Grand Slam caliber, or if attendance is bleak (I watched Ryan Harrison, an up-and-coming American to watch, play his first-round match before about 100 people in San Jose on Monday afternoon). There's always something in it for someone, and the endless circus plays on.

I have today decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]Green Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and performance that is unmatched. Green Smoke™ products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this cigarette?
