Federer, Murray, Nadal in same half of Wimbledon

Roger Federer faces a tough road to another Wimbledon final after draw threw Rafa Nadal and home favorite Andy Murray into the champion's path and cleared the way for world number one Novak Djokovic.The third seed could face Spaniard Nadal, seeded only fifth to reflect his current ranking, in what would likely be an epic quarter-final on the grass of southwest London.Federer and Nadal, the big danger in the draw, played three finals in 2006, 2007 and 2008.If the Swiss seven-times winner gets through the quarter-final, he faces a potential clash with last year's finalist Murray in the semi-finals.World number one Novak Djokovic would be on course to face seventh seed Tomas Berdych in the quarter-finals but will avoid any of his three main rivals until the final.The draw is certainly a tough one for Federer, who has recently struggled but rallied to victory in Halle, Germany, in his favorite warm-up for Wimbledon. Four of Federer's seven wins at Wimbledon came after he lifted the trophy in Halle.Federer, Nadal and Murray will all play opening day on Monday at Wimbledon.Federer will open the defense of his title against Victor Hanescu of Romania, while Nadal will take on Steve Darcis of Belgium and Murray plays Benjamin Becker of Germany, an opponent he beat last week at the Queen's Club.Djokovic, who won Wimbledon two years ago, will start on Tuesday against Florian Mayer of Germany. He is guaranteed to keep the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings after the tournament whatever the result he achieves.There are several noteworthy first-round matchups in the draw, with former champion Lleyton Hewitt facing No. 11 Stanislas Wawrinka; No.21 Sam Querrey against Bernard Tomic; and No. 10 Marin Cilic playing Marcos Baghdatis.Roger Federer's possible opponents: Round 1 : Victor Hănescu Round 2 : Sergiy Stakhovsky Round 3 : Lukas Rosol / Jurgen Melzer / Fabio Fognini Round 4 : Nicolás Almagro / Jerzy Janowicz / Radek Stepanek QF : Rafael Nadal / Stanislas Wawrinka / John Isner Semi Final : Jo-Wilfred Tsonga / Andy Murray Final : Novak Djokovic / David FerrerDate: 21st June 2013, Source: Reuters

Weekend Update: A Little More Hubris And The First Chink In The Armor

Articles and news stories published over the past few days evidence a weak response by proponents of the Bi-County Parkway and the first sign of backtracking by the McDonnell administration. Strangely, the proponents response to last week's hearings and public outcry was underwhelming to say the least.  Apart from a staunch Connaughton supporter (read sycophant) defending the Dark Lord on several local blogs, the only other posting in support of the route was an editorial by Roger Snyder published in Friday's WAPO.  Not surprisingly, the editorial evidenced a level of hubris that has come to be expected of those in support of the Bi-County Parkway.  Mr. Snyder asserts that "glib quips bloated by hyperbole make for attention-getting sound bites, but they should not be allowed to unravel the three-plus decades of methodical planning that has brought the road this far".  I would suggest that Mr. Snyder's letter is marked by the very "glib quotes bloated by hyperbole" that he accuses opponents of using.  In fact, such tactics have actually been the stock in trade of those pushing the Bi-County Parkway as evidenced by his written statements.  He merely parrots the time-worn arguments, arguments that have been shown to be without factual basis, made by the CTB, VDOT and the various Chambers over the past six months.  Merely repeating that there are no other options, the road will ease traffic on I-66, its merely a "concept corridor", it will spur economic development in PWC and that the process has been transparent does not make those statements any more factual than they were six months ago.  It has been demonstrated that there are several other options, the impact on I-66 is unknown, it likely will not provide PWC an economic advantage and the process has been far from transparent.  Lastly, although Mr. Snyder discloses that he was the "Prince William County director of planning, chief executive of the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association and the City of Manassas director of community development", positions from which he has retired, he does not disclose that he remains active in the development field as the owner of RWS Aerial Photography which provides aerial photographs for local developers and the Chamber of Commerce as evidenced at the Prince William Chamber of Commerce Commercial Real Estate Showcase (CRES) recently held at the Hylton Performing Arts Center.  Perhaps Mr. Snyder should review the definitions of "transparency" and "full disclosure", telling only half the story and cobbling together questionable "facts" in the form of "glib quips bloated by hyperbole" is the essence of hypocrisy, another quality that has marked proponents' presentations.The more important story however is Hank Silverberg's report posted this morning on WTOP.  It would appear that the recent public outcry may have revealed the first chink in the Governor and VDOT's armor.  Taken at face value, it would appear that the Governor has taken notice of public opinion and confirms that "Part of the plan is being revisited as the state moves through a series of public meetings".  What part of the plan is anybody's guess but one would presume that the most likely segment in question would be the Bi-County Parkway.  In any event, it would appear that now is the time to turn up the heat to ensure that the Governor remains focused on that opposition.

Samsung Galaxy S4 in Custom Colors from ColorWare at $1,000

Just as we had said in our previous posts, Samsung, the South Korean manufacturer is not at all backsliding in promoting its flagship device, the Galaxy S4. Currently, the device comes in two colors but more colors are on the way to come but if you would like some more customizations and color choices, you can shell out some more money and get it from ColorWare. Earlier, the company unveiled two more devices of the same clan namely, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy S4 Active. The Galaxy S4 Active is a rugged smartphone built to overcome the daily rough usage conditions and is rumored to be available in U.K by July 1.Coming back to our key topic, you can get a good number of color options of the Samsung Galaxy S4 by getting assistance from ColorWare. Well, four more colors are to come soon while one is exclusively unveiled for the AT&T. You won’t be surprised when you hear the price as its worth such a cost in purchasing a GSM unlocked Galaxy S4 from ColorWare. For these color options, you will have to shell out $1,000 to ColorWare.As a matter of fact, a lot of time and energy is consumed in customizing these Galaxy S4 models providing you with the facility of various color options. Hence, you will have to shell out such a price to get this facility. On grounds of the details granted by the press release, the Samsung Galaxy S4 undergoes a lengthy and arduous process. The device is at first disassembled, then cleaned, masked and painted. It then undergoes an inspection procedure and then it is buffed and reassembled. Once it is reassembled, it is ready for the final inspection. By this, you can make out the complications of the process. Do check out the color comparison video embedded below.Therefore, if you desire to get a GSM unlocked Galaxy S4 along with more choices of color, ColorWare will administer you at its best. Better, if you send your phone in and get it customized and this will be much cheaper as well. I would say that Samsung is having a great time as a few days back, it unveiled a Bluetooth keyboard and a wireless charging cover and pad for the Galaxy S4. Promotions of the device are on the go with “Quick Snooze” featuring a cute father and baby theme which is likely to take advantage of the upcoming Father’s Day to fetch more customers emotionally. So, are you on the verge of shelling out $1,000 for a brand new GSM unlocked Galaxy S4? Remember, you get more customization options.

Where to stay in Mount Dora? Bella Dora Bunaglow

As a travel agent, I inspect various properties all over the world so I can advise clients the best places to stay. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit Bell Dora Bungalow, in Mount Dora. What a quaint, quiet, adorable place!From the moment you step inside, you feel welcomed. Of course, it probably had something to do with Shirley Harris' smiling face (the owner). The home is beautifully decorated and pulls in the whimsical charm of Mount Dora.This 2 bedroom, 1 bath is perfect for short and long term rentals. Once people find out about the bungalow, they keep coming back. Harris says she has northerners that have been renting the place for years and that they will be back next year. Cook in the full equipped kitchen, grill out, or take in some of the cuisine from Mount Dora's and Tavares' local restaurants. Downtown Mount Dora is about 1 mile away and Tavares is approximately 3.7 miles. Relax by the Koi pond and enjoy a glass of wine by the fire pit as the day comes to a close. As crickets serenade and the fire crackles, you will never forget your stay at the Mount Dora Bungalow.Things to know:A/CWiFi/InternetPet friendly (up to 20 lbs)40 minutes from Orlando attractions (Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World)-Renovating your home? -Needing a get-a-way?-Participating in local events? Mount Dora Events Tavares Events-Having a guest speaker to your church?-Planning on having out of town guests?I highly recommend Bella Dora Bungalow. You will not be disappointed.

48 hours in Rochester, New York

Synonymous with film photography, lilacs and classical music, Rochester offers an unusual array of attractions for a mid-sized U.S. city that brought industrial prowess to a scenic river gorge on Lake Ontario's southern shore.

From top-ranked golf courses and national-landmark house museums to a children's emporium of play and America's oldest municipal park-garden cemetery, the city in western New York is crammed with surprises for visitors of all interests.

 

Its glacier-carved linchpin is a trio of waterfalls trumpeting the Genesee River's thunderous descent into Lake Ontario.

Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most out of a short stay in Rochester (pop. 210,855), variously known over two centuries as the Flour City, the Flower City and, less so of late, the World's Image Center.

FRIDAY

5:30 p.m. - Dinner at Dinosaur Barbecue (www.dinosaurbarbque.com), a honky tonk rib joint tucked into a former railroad station overlooking the river. Take in a view of the unstoppable torrent from the adjacent Court Street Bridge before digging in to brisket, cornbread and tomato-cucumber salad.

7 p.m. - Head back across the bridge to Blue Cross Arena (www.bluecrossarena.com) for a dash of ice-hockey escapades hollering on the Rochester Americans. For spring and summer alternatives, catch a Rochester Red Wings baseball game at Frontier Field (www.rochesterredwings.com) or the Rochester Rhinos soccer team at Sahlen's Stadium (www.rhinossoccer.com).

For people who prefer stage or dance, there's Geva Theatre (www.gevatheatre.org) or an occasional hometown performance by the top-notch Garth Fagan dance troupe (www.garthfagandance.org).

9:30 p.m. - End the day with a Genesee cream ale or Finger Lakes Riesling and a twirl on the dance floor at one of an assortment of bars and music halls that abound in the lively East End.

SATURDAY

9 a.m. - Try yogurt and granola plus an egg Danish - caramelized onions baked in fluffy pastry topped with an egg - at Flower City Bread in the Rochester Public Market (www.cityofrochester.gov/publicmarket). This magnet for bargain food shoppers, situated since 1905 on Union Street in the gritty northeast section, has a ring of casual eateries.

10:30 a.m. - Head to the Genesee River at its most spectacular stretch north of downtown for a peek into the city's water-powered origins. Repurposed factories and remnants of a once flourishing flour industry form a ghostly backdrop to the 90-foot (27.4 meter) cascade known as High Falls.

Among panoramic vantage points above the waterfall and its wide gorge basin are a pedestrian bridge and the rooftop patio of a pub-style restaurant in Genesee Beer and Ale brewery (www.geneseebeer.com/brew-house).

For more outdoors adventure, take a short drive north to a path behind Maplewood Park's rose garden that descends close to river level in the nearly 200-foot-deep gorge.

11:30 a.m. - The red-brick Victorian home of women's rights crusader Susan B. Anthony (www.susanbanthonyhouse.org) is a highlight among memorials concentrated in upstate New York that extol women's achievements in molding the nation.

Step into the parlor where Anthony was arrested after daring to vote in 1872. The home contains the trademark alligator bag she carried on frequent travels, and the bed she died in after delivering her "Failure is Impossible" speech in Washington in 1906.

_0">

12:30 - Cross downtown into the South Wedge neighborhood for lunch at Mise en Place (miseenplacemarket.com), a modest grocery-cum-diner with window tables looking out at a string of rib restaurants, pubs and bakeries along South Avenue. Cheesy Eddie's is a stalwart for cheesecake, while newcomers include The Little Bleu Cheese Shop and Hedonist Artisan Chocolates and Hedonist Artisan Ice Cream.

_1">

1:30 p.m. - Memorial Art Gallery (mag.rochester.edu), located for 100 years in an Italian Renaissance-style architectural gem in the East-side arts district, features an eclectic collection of 12,000 works of art, from Impressionist paintings to metal sculptures by hometown luminary Albert Paley.

_2">

Search out the only full-size Italian Baroque organ in North America, a 600-pipe, fully restored instrument built around 1770 that is played at periodic recitals by students at the acclaimed Eastman School of Music.

_3">

Children in tow? A popular alternative is The Strong (www.museumofplay.org), the second-largest museum devoted to children in the United States. Among dozens of interactive educational exhibits are a butterfly garden, a streetscape from television's Sesame Street and a whaling ship.

_4">

3 p.m. - Stroll from the art gallery along University Avenue. Dawdle over coffee or antiques at the Flatiron building or photo art at Image City Photography Gallery.

_5">

3:30 p.m. - The walk extends to George Eastman House (www.eastmanhouse.org), the world's oldest museum of photography and motion pictures with an archive of 400,000 images stretching back to 1830s daguerreotypes.

_6">

View old cameras, famous original photos and film reels at Eastman's majestic 1905 Colonial Revival mansion and villa-style gardens. The patriarch of popular photography, Eastman founded Eastman Kodak Co, which ruled the world of film photography for over a century but has been brought to its knees by a swift shift to the digital technology it helped pioneer but couldn't capitalize on.

_7">

6:30 p.m. - For a cut-above meal, try the restaurant Good Luck (www.restaurantgoodluck.com). Its tapas-style dishes are meant to be shared, from red lentils to smoked pork shank.

_8">

9 p.m. - Head to The Little (www.thelittle.org) for an indie, foreign or art film in a funky 1929 Art Deco theater on East Avenue.

_9">

SUNDAY

_10">

8:30 a.m. - Start the day with French toast or Eggs Benedict at The Frog Pond (eatatthefrogpond.com/) in the fashionable Park Avenue district.

_11">

10 a.m. - On the edge of downtown is Mount Hope Cemetery (www.cityofrochester.gov/mounthope), a 196-acre arboretum favored by dog walkers, history buffs and curious souls. A classic example of a pre-Civil War "rural cemetery," Mount Hope is a heavily wooded jumble of ridges, ravines and meadows with gravestones and mausoleums set amid fountains, ornate sculptures and stone terraces fringed with wildflowers and pines.

_12">

11 a.m. - Across the street, stroll through Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Highland Park (www.monroecounty.gov/parks-highland.php), famous for its lilac bushes and a floral, food, art and musical festival in May that serves as the true advent of spring in a city where snowfall tops 100 inches (2.5 meters) in a typical winter.

_13">

12:30 - Lunch at The Food Bar in the suburb of Pittsford.

_14">

1:30 p.m. - Tee off at one of the Rochester region's 90-plus golf courses to get a feel for the undulating, tree-framed terrain the world's top golfers will encounter at two majors here this year: the PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Pittsford on August 5-11 and the Wegmans LPGA Championship at nearby Locust Hill from June 3-9 (www.golfrochesterguide.net/).
