Australia (AP) — Rafael Nadal held off Roger Federer in another momentum-swinging, five-set final to win the Australian Open on Sunday, keeping the Grand Slam singles record safe for now.
After coming through the longest match in the tournament's history to reach the championship match, Nadal needed 4 hours, 23 minutes Sunday to win 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2.
I'm also looking forward to the French Open in Paris this May on the 27th. As always, my money is on Djokovic and Tsonga. ....and probably the latest strong force, Fernando Verdasco.
As the credit crunch bites, people are finding different ways to cope with their money problems. Some are carefully sticking to a budget, others are cutting out unnecessary luxuries… and at least one person is scribbling all over final demand letters to make himself feel better.The anonymous author of dearfinaldemand.com - who describes himself as ‘a d*** when it comes to money’ - has been posting the creative results of his scrawling online, and is inviting anybody else who does the same to submit their own defaced letters.
The tone of his responses to the final demands ranges from sweary outrage to poignant meditations on the responsibilities of adulthood, along with gleefully petty one-upmanship when the debt collectors spell his name wrong.
The author notes on the blog: ‘It’s therapeutic, especially after getting The Red Ink Sink immediately after opening one of these awesome pieces of communication.
‘If paper could feel pain I’d be constantly kicking sheets of A4’s heads in.’
But i thought he said "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist". Mixed messages already!!!
...and I'm wondering, how does she know they 'fist' each other.
I'm not sure if people are aware of this, but you can now play this game 'Street Fighter' on YouTube. A pretty classic game, I'd refer this boring but hey, this is pretty creative and interesting that someone can make a game out of video.
START PLAYING HERE:
All of the clips are animated by Boivin himself, using Street Fighter action figures to create the action.
Granted, it doesn’t have quite the same adrenaline rush of playing an actual video game, but it’s a great piece of work that must have taken him an absurdly long time to put together. It’s not the first use of YouTube annotations to create this sort of interactive adventure - but you can expect to see a lot more of it in the future...

This caucasian guy named Joe has set up an ad wishing for a guitar lead for his black metal band. This ad is finally recognized by a ghetto from the east side, so he calls Joe to ask if he could join the black metal band. For some reason, Joe did not want this caller to be in the band. Why? Find out yourself. The caller didnt seem to get what Black Metal was, so Joe defined it as 'Dark and Evil'. The caller then argues back by admitting himself 'Dark and Evil'.
In the spirit of American politics, let us remember the past as we begin our new future...
Senator Robert Byrd during the Vick dog fighting hearings. Earlier at Obama's lunch, the Byrdman passed out and needed medical attention.
I'm very impressed with myself over the last 24 hours, I managed to get a number of more than 60 blog visits from the United States Of America and some multiple visits from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and etc. in just 24 hours.
HERES FOR YOU:
