Custom Corvette Accessories Celebrates a 10 Year Partnership with Lloyd Mats
CCA has been in business for 12 years, 10 of which it has partnered with Lloyd Mats bringing their wide variety of products closer to the many Corvette Enthusiasts out there. Here you will find classic floor mats and modern ones in a variety of materials and colors.
Manassas, VA, February 19, 2017 --(
)-- Custom Corvette Accessories was started in 2005 and according to the CEO it happened quite by accident. "It was just a garage project with a few friends," he says. Well, 12 years later CCA is still going strong and is celebrating a 10 years of a great partnership with Lloyd Mats. This is the reason why they are releasing a PR celebrating 10 year partnership with Lloyd Mats.
Lloyd Mats are makers of floor mats that are designed to augment the experience of every Corvette enthusiast. In fact, they are the number one manufacturer of floor mats for Corvettes for every model that has been in existence since 1953. This means that whether you're driving a first generation Corvette or a modern Corvette Stingray, you can find the mats that you need for your car.
"The variety of materials and colors that they offer is just awesome!" says Chip Haselton the CEO of Custom Corvette Accessories. Lloyd Mats offer more than 100 color options and they can make more than one hundred trademark Corvette Logos. Basically, all one has to do is select the mat fabric they want, the colors and the logo they would like imprinted on it. Since they use precision cutting equipment that is computer driven, you can be sure that it is absolutely fantastic work.
Many people come to CCA to purchase a variety of different Corvette Accessories that they fabricate themselves including custom racing pedals, tunnel plates and billet aluminum oil catch cans, but there are parts that CCA cannot produce on their own. It is for these that they turn to partnerships with other Corvette patrs vendors who are highly skilled in what they do. If you are looking for the best in floor mats, Lloyd's from Custom Corvette Accessories is the place to go.
"We are releasing this PR celebrating 10 year partnership with Lloyd Mats because it has been a mutually beneficial partnership," says Chip. CCA's mission is to make sure that their clients enjoy the very best shopping experience possible and to provide them with customer service that is top notch coupled with easy online transactions. You can't beat that.

Look what I received in the mail yesterday:
Check who tried to swipe it while I was making the pizza for supper! Quite the nerve she's got!
Now I have to offer some major apologies for not blogging sooner about the first PIF I received from no-blog Rachel. I did send out a thank you card, but for some unknown reason it came back to me, and then I just kept forgetting to take a picture of the bag she sent me, because, get this, I have been using it from the moment I opened the package. Literally. I opened it while walking home from the post office and loved it instantly. The colours are great and I couldn't help myself from slinging it over my shoulder and putting the wrapping in the bag. I still use it every day, and that's the ultimate compliment of a loved item. Don't you wish you had one of your own?
Let's see, on the knitting front, yesterday I started on some 1X1 ribbed socks. One is already done and so is the leg of the second. Technically I intended them to be gifted to someone at Christmas but I am liking them very much and seeing how they just happened to be my size, I might keep them for myself. The Cable sock is coming along nicely. I am half way down the foot. The thrum mitts only need thumbs (still). I've also started knitting another wool blanket out of Briggs&Little Atlantic. I'm making it up as I go along: knitting individual strips however long each skein allows, 21 stitches wide, on 8mm needles so it will hopefully turn out to be squishing and cozy. All in the name of reducing the stash. Oh yes, and the PIF for Dorothy is still awaiting assembly. Maybe today!

The 5 questions most feared by men are:
What are you thinking about?
Do you love me?
Do I look fat?
Do you think she is prettier than me?
What would you do if I died?
What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e., tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.
Question # 1: What are you thinking about?
The proper answer to this, of course, is: Im sorry if Ive been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you.
This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
How fat you are.
How much prettier she is than you.
How I would spend the insurance money if you died.
Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!
Question # 2: Do you love me?
The proper response is: YES! or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, Yes, dear.
Inappropriate responses include:
Oh Yeah
Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
That depends on what you mean by love.
Does it matter?
Who, me?
Question # 3: Do I look fat?
The correct answer is an emphatic: Of course not! Among the incorrect answers are:
Compared to what?
I wouldnt call you fat, but youre not exactly thin.
A little extra weight looks good on you.
Ive seen fatter.
Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
Question # 4: Do you think shes prettier than me?
Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: Of course not! Incorrect responses include:
Yes, but you have a better personality
Not prettier, but definitely thinner
Not as pretty as you when you were her age
Define pretty
Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
Question # 5: What would you do if I died?
A definite no-win question. (The real answer, of course, is Buy a Corvette and a Boat.) No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:
WOMAN: Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!
WOMAN: Why not; dont you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.
WOMAN: Then why wouldnt you remarry?
MAN: Okay, Id get married again.
WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)
WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?
WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She cant use them; shes left-handed
WOMAN: – – – silence – – –
MAN: Oh my.
Men are like a fine wine.
They all start out like grapes, and its our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something youd want to have dinner with.

It occurred to me tonight that I actually like Chief Keef. I have no idea why. But I do.
Edit: after downloading and listening to a bunch of his music today, I have come to the conclusion that I just like this song.
Not to mention that he is really killing it for someone who was born in 1995..

Once you experience the positive, healing benefits of kratom (often after just a single dose) you'll understand why this ancient leaf has become such a popular, all-natural alternative to synthetically derived, over-the-counter and even prescription medications. Harvested from tropical and subtropical Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Bali, Mitragyna speciosa, known as kratom or biak biak to the locals, has been an integral part of the culture for decades. Since 2004, it has gained notoriety throughout North America for its potent analgesic and energizing effects, proving beneficial to patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, fatigue, insomnia, and mood disorders like depression and anxiety. Too much of even a remarkably good thing can be bad, however, and it's possible to develop a tolerance to kratom rather quickly. In order to keep experiencing those healing benefits, it's important to take regular tolerance breaks, or cleanse once a month to give your body's chemistry a chance to "reset."
How does kratom work?
To understand the necessity of regular tolerance breaks, you should understand the mechanism by which kratom works in the body. Despite being labeled as an opioid by many because of its similar effects (mainly pain relief and mild euphoria), kratom is not an opiate, it just acts like one.
The major players at work are two compounds, or alkaloids, called mitragynine and 7-α-hydroxymitragynine. These alkaloids interact with opioid receptors in the brain to influence the production of serotonin, to increase pleasure and decrease pain. Mitragynine has also been shown to react with other receptor systems in the brain causing stimulation in the same way as caffeine or sugar, although without the "crash".
Blame it on those euphoric side effects, which have led many to clutch their pearls in distaste at the thought of using a medication that has the potential to bring about addiction. The pervasive problem seems to be a fear, especially among those treating opioid addiction, that swapping out prescription painkillers for a product like kratom is simply trading one addiction for the other. We have to point out here that it's impossible to overdose on kratom (you are physically incapable of taking the amount of kratom necessary to cause overdose – your body would throw it back up before you even got that close), a fact that identifies kratom as a much safer and cost-effective solution for pain than opioids.
NB: Mitragyna speciosa does not affect the respiratory system and, though many have claimed that kratom can cause overdose, all scientific evidence shows it is not possible to die from responsible use of this traditional medicine. In cases where kratom has been detected in deceased individuals, it's the combination of kratom and other substances, such as opiates and alcohol, that prove fatal. It's important to remember that responsible use dictates avoiding mixing kratom with any narcotic or sedating substance, specifically those that might exacerbate the sedative qualities of some M. speciosa strains.
Take tolerance breaks
It can take a while for kratom alkaloids to flush out of the system, hence the relative ease of developing a tolerance, even after as few as three to four uses. Over time, you'll notice you need larger doses to experience the same reaction as with the first dose; this is one of the reasons it isn't recommended anyone take kratom daily, though people with chronic pain conditions may find this the only effective option.
A sure-fire way to avoid tolerance is to take regular tolerance breaks. This is simply the act of abstaining from a substance for a period to give your body a chance to re-adjust to life before said substance was introduced.
Responsible kratom dosing requires choosing to turn to M. speciosa only when necessary; say, before a particularly demanding day or when you feel a migraine coming on. If you suffer from chronic pain like migraines, spinal pain, muscle and joint pain or something similar, there's a chance you may wish to benefit from kratom's analgesic qualities more regularly than every few days. In these cases, it's recommended you alternate kratom strains – like a red one day and a green the next – to delay the inevitable.
Your monthly kratom cleanse
We know that mitragynine has a half-life of about 24 hours – this means that after about a day, 50% of the alkaloid content will have left your system. There isn't much you can do to help kratom on its way out, but there are a few things that affect how long it will stick around, such as:
- Age – older patients tend to experience longer elimination periods, a fact that can be attributed to the degradation of the renal function.
- Body fat – because mitragynine is fat soluble, the body can store this alkaloid in fatty tissue. Someone with a higher body fat ratio will retain alkaloids for much longer than someone with low body fat.
- Consumption of food and water – kratom will affect you differently if you've had something to eat than if you take it on an empty stomach. When consumed in conjunction with fatty foods the mitragynine will be absorbed more quickly. Additionally, water helps to flush kratom from the system, so the more you drink, the faster it will flush.
If you have any of the above factors, there's a good chance that tolerance breaks might not be enough to keep you from experiencing diminished effects over time. If you plan on incorporating kratom into your regular pain management routine, you should include a monthly kratom cleanse to help the plant maintain its effectiveness.
What do I do?
Abstain from using kratom for at least a week to guarantee that your body has rid itself of any remaining alkaloids. The body will naturally flush kratom on its own, and there isn't much you can do – other than getting adequate rest, proper nutrition, and staying as hydrated as possible – to help it on its way.
Safe and effective, kratom can be an excellent addition to your healthy lifestyle, and the best way to guarantee a positive experience is to purchase high quality, organic kratom loose leaf, powder, and capsules, like those available through Original Harvest. Check out our selection of carefully cultivated strains, ranging in potency from super sedating to uniquely energizing.

Nozaki gives his apartment a thorough cleaning for his extremely curt editor, Miyamae. Chiyo doesn't think the editor likes Nozaki at all, but Nozaki is totally in love with the guy for the punctual and straightforward nature of their communication. We learn why Nozaki feels this way in an episode that explores the mangaka-editor relationship, which can be a treacherous sea.
Nozaki has been scarred by his previous editor, Maeno (whose name means "previous"): who always suggested and took credit for obvious ideas Nozaki had either already come up with, or ones he hates. After a subtly manipulative, self-important boob like Maeno, Miyamae seems pretty darn "cool and mature", as Nozaki describes him.
Nozaki is also troubled by the fact his neighbor and fellow mangaka—the beautiful college student Miyako Yukari—is still suffering under the affable boot heel of Maeno, who forces her to put random tanukis in everything she draws, regardless of genre (her apartment is also full of the things). The website set up ostensibly for artists' benefit is full of posts of him describing what he's wearing or abusing Miyako's manuscript.
Miyako should get mad—indeed, when Maeno shows up unannounced and teases Nozaki, Nozaki very nearly hulks up—but she doesn't. Such is the insufferable, inscrutable power of Maeno, something Nozaki is very glad to be (mostly) rid of. From there, Nozaki receives criticism from Miyamae that he isn't revealing enough of Mamiko's emotions to the reader. Believing the only way to understand Mamiko is to become Mamiko, Nozaki decides to do just that.
The results are unsurprisingly hilarious, though not as over-the-top as you'd think. He makes a bunch of bentos to give to friends to try to capture Mamiko's feelings, but ends up conjuring a somewhat sinister Mamiko. He also tries to understand what it's like to have girls for enemies. In an inspired choice, he does this by speeding Kashima around on a hand cart; her hordes of worshipers in hot pursuit.
The chase sequence is a hilarious peace of physical comedy, and the little moment the "spurned" Kashima has with Hori afterward is pretty cute as well. Ultimately all of Nozaki's research only leads to an even more confusing, unrealistic version of Mamiko that further frustrates Miyamae. Even so, it was neat to watch the creative process in action.

Re: Trump abolishes controversial commission studying alleged voter fraud
@Centristsin2010—Just another example of trump's delusions. There was never ANY proof of MASSIVE voter fraud.
In fact, from the beginning, we were told by credible news sources that voter fraud in this country is rare.
But trump, the discredited pseudo news sites, and those oh so gullible worshippers,
known as the base, jumped right on board the delusion express.
Another example of extreme waste of the taxpayers' dollar. The idiot in chief should be made to pay it back, but how does one make up for the waste of man power which could have been applied toward doing something useful—something real.
Another example of trump's incompetence. Another example of why this blithering idiot has absolutely no business in the WH.
Gee, I miss having a real president!

Trump abolishes controversial commission studying alleged voter fraud
Trump abolishes controversial commission studying alleged voter fraud
President Trump on Wednesday announced that he is disbanding a controversial panel studying alleged voter fraud that became mired in multiple federal lawsuits and faced resistance from states that accused it of overreach.
The decision is a major setback for Trump, who created the commission last year in response to his claim, for which he provided no proof, that he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 because of millions of illegally cast ballots.
The commission met only twice amid the series of lawsuits seeking to curb its authority and claims by Democrats that it was stacked to recommend voting restrictions favorable to the president's party.
In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said there is "substantial evidence of voter fraud" (and of course never presented ANY substantial evidence) and blamed the ending of the commission on the refusal of many states to provide voter data sought by the panel and the cost of ongoing lawsuits.
The bipartisan panel, known as the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, had been nominally chaired by Vice President Pence and led by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican who has aggressively sought to prosecute alleged voter fraud in his state. Pence in recent months had sought to distance himself from its work.
In the statement, Sanders said Trump had signed an executive order asking the Department of Homeland Security "to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action."
Critics of the commission hailed Trump's announcement, calling it long overdue.
"The commission never had anything to do with election integrity," Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. "It was instead a front to suppress the vote, perpetrate dangerous and baseless claims, and was ridiculed from one end of the country to the other. This shows that ill-founded proposals that just appeal to a narrow group of people won't work, and we hope they'll learn this lesson elsewhere."
Former Missouri secretary of state Jason Kander (D) also wished the panel "good riddance."
"President Trump created his sham voting commission to substantiate a lie he told about voter fraud in the 2016 election," said Kander, president of the advocacy group Let America Vote. "When he couldn't come up with any fake evidence, and under relentless pressure, he had no choice but to disband his un-American commission."
Trump, however, appeared to stand by the claims of voter fraud without offering any further evidence. (of course NOT!)
In tweets Thursday, he said the commission "fought hard" to investigation allegations of voter abuses "because they know that many people are voting illegally. System is rigged, must go to Voter I.D."
The 11-member commission proved a magnet for controversy from the outset and was sued by one of its members, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap (D), who alleged in November that he has been kept in the dark about its operations, rendering his participation "essentially meaningless."
Republicans on the commission accused Dunlap of paranoia, but a federal judge last month ruled partly in his favor.
In an interview Wednesday night, Dunlap said it may be premature to celebrate the demise of the commission, given Trump's announcement that Homeland Security would pick up the work. The department, he said, could angle to change regulations affecting driver's licenses and other matters affecting voting without as much public scrutiny.
"I think people who are saying 'the witch is dead' should be very alarmed by this move," he said. "I think that's very dangerous."
The commission had been targeted in at least eight other lawsuits seeking to curb its operations or make its deliberations more transparent. Several of those stemmed from an early sweeping request to states for voter data that some, including those led by Republicans, deemed too intrusive. The panel sought all publicly available information about voter rolls in the states, such as names of registrants, addresses, dates of birth, partial Social Security numbers and other data.

The purpose of this study was to determine the most effective method of identifying hazardous locations for on-site investigations. To decrease the possible effect of random or spurious accidents on the identification of hazardous locations, a 0.3-mile (0.48-km) segment was chosen along with 1- and 2-year periods for accumulating and comparing accident data. An optimal method for identifying hazardous locations and sections was determined to be one which (1) maximizes benefits from improvements, (2) identifies locations with critically high accident rates, and (3) identifies potential hazards. A sample of 170 locations was used to compare several location-identification methods. The procedure recommended combines a Number Method, EPDO Method, Rate-Quality Control Method, and objective input from citizens and state police. This procedure should be used to identify hazardous spots 0.3 mile (0.48 km) long and sections 1 and 3 miles (1.61 and 4.83 km) long which should be investigated in the field. A detailed plan for implementing such a procedure is also proposed.

Hmm, strange, some bots were still able to post comments on some of my blogposts, even with captcha enabled. The math calculation is just too easy for brute forck attacks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute_force_attack). I changed it to image, so I hope I will get rid of this stupid SPAM :-)
I also noticed the 'captcha' math sum was very often the same, and very often one of the two numbers that needed to be added was simply '0'
Hmm, idd, er was een probleem met de image. 't Is gefixt nu.
'k Vind ook stom dat geregistreerde gebruikers een captcha moeten ingeven. Is totaal niet nodig. Zal es zoeken of'k dat ergens kan uitzetten
I only had to try 27 times to get this captcha (which is sometimes even just only 1 or even 0 character(s)) right... :p
something is not quite right here ;)
Needing to enter captcha after editing comment is not logical as well :p
Yeah, I know. The captcha module was using a custom font. I changed it to the default font. There was a rendering problem. Now you see all 5 characters :-)
test without captcha
test after edit
aha :)

How often does the world get you down? I bet on a daily basis. Does the fact that there are literally dozens of wars going on at any one time on our earth get you hopeless for future peace? How would you like live in war torn Israel? How would you like to raise a family there? The fact that people find more and more ways to kill each other? Like the Boston Marathon bombing this last spring, for example.
Does the deterioration of the values of our country repel you? Does the fact that our nation is more concerned with saving whales and manatees than saving unborn children get you sick to your stomach? (over 73 million abortions in the U.S. and counting since Roe vs. Wade, 1973)
Does the ineffectiveness of our government leaders make it seem like our country is beyond repair?
Yes, disappointment bombards us on a daily basis. Dreams are dashed. Jobs are lost. Enron debacles occur. Our bosses get us down, even our friends and family do. Circumstances that we have absolutely no control of get us down. Like that tornado, flood, fire, bankruptcy, or earthquake. You may even say, I didn't ask for this kidney stone, or whatever it may be– mental illness, scoliosis, heart attack, paralytic stroke, or a child born with autism or Fragile X Syndrome.
Let's not forget. We let ourselves down too , don't we? Especially under stress. We give into temptation. We battle self-centeredness, greed, smugness, and being in control. Downright hopeless at times, isn't it, if we look to ourselves for absolute integrity? I'm shocked sometimes by the sinful thoughts that I have day to day. We need some mighty armor on in the battle. (Ephesians 6; more on that later)
James Taylor, famed story teller and folk singer, sang about an answer for life's trials (he was a known heroin addict in his youth). Remember the song he made famous, "Up on a Roof"? "When this old world gets me down"…. "I go up on a roof, and there I won't be bothered". Really? Is that all there is to handling the stresses of life? The song (written by Carole King) got it right by adding that the "stars put a show on for free" on the roof. But it's not the stars, it's the star Maker!
As a doctor, my entire day is searching for anecdotes to my patient's medical problems. And we can fix a lot of broken problems, believe me, but some predicaments are unfixable. Like my Dad's miserable dementia, or my patient's paraplegia from an injury that he sustained diving into shallow water. Terrible diseases, and I can't fix a thing about them.
Throughout the Scripture, God tells us that our present world is unfixable. It's simply hopeless, left on its own. And I'm not a pessimist!
Having hope in your plans for your life may very well be dashed at any time.
But our God of hope, in His great love for our broken world, gave it the perfect anecdote. Jesus, His Son, is that Someone who you can hang your hope on whenever or wherever! Yes indeed, you CAN have hope while living in this seemingly hopeless world. God, in His sovereignty, has a plan for us!
Just what is Hope? 1 Corinthians 13:13 Faith is the primary foundation and content of God's message; hope is the attitude of reliance and trust, whereas love is the action. When our faith and hope are in line, we are free to love completely because we understand how God loves.
Hope is your anchor– Hebrews 6:19-20 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure, Jesus Himself. He keeps us secure in times of trouble. You will have many storms in your life. Anchor yourself in Him, the Great Rock of Ages.
Hope in our future salvation allows us to love others– Colossians 1:5 "Faith and love spring up from hope that is stored up for you in heaven. Because we know that our future destination and salvation are sure, we are free to live for Christ and love others."
The truth of the Bible gives us hope– Romans 15:4 "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Amen.
The Holy Spirit fills us with hope– Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Yet another benefit of our paraclete, the Holy Spirit.
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God– Romans 5:2b– "We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit." Yes, God is molding you constantly in the palm of His hand. He takes that sometimes hardened clay and shapes it into something beautiful.
The Resurrection gives us hope– Romans 8:24-25 "We have hope in the resurrection, and we must be patient, waiting for God's plan to unfold. If no resurrection, there is no hope!"
Hope gives us boldness to be a witness– 2 Corinthians 3:12 Therefore, since we have such a hope (in the Lord), we are very bold. 2 Timothy 2:25 "There will be unbelievers who oppose you; you must gently instruct them; in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses." 1 Peter 3:15b-16 "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
Work on your "attitude of hope" day by day. 1 Timothy 4:10 "We labor and strive to put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe." "Each day, put on your new self…" Ephesians 4:24
We pray that others would have hope– Ephesians 1:18 Paul prayed for the Ephesians that, "The eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which He has called them..
A warning about hoping in the wrong things– 1 Timothy 6:17 "Don't have an arrogant attitude if you have money; it's better to be rich towards God. Putting hope in wealth is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God is the key, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment!"
Maintain hope for the "Rapture" and the Second Coming– Titus 2:13-15 "There is a "blessed hope" for all believers that we could be caught up to meet Christ in the air at any moment."
Bottom line: God knew that we would need hope in the world that we live in, so He gave us Jesus, the perfect remedy for hopelessness.

This week's three challenger locales sound like exotic ingredients one would find in a chichi restaurant: "Could you have the chef add a little extra bergamo and caloundra, please? My palate favors those particular spices. But I beseech you: do hold the quimper. Everyone knows real men don't eat quimper."
Spicy or not, here's the scoop on this week's tourneys:
Bergamo, Italy (Hard, Indoor Play-It, €42,500 plus delightful hospitality, 90 pts/€6,150 to champion, last direct acceptance: Freddie Nielsen #294)
Returning champion Karol Beck is back to defend his title, but he's already been knocked off the top-seeded perch by late wildcard entrant Andreas Seppi. Seppi has to face the tricky special entrant Dominik Meffert in the first round, who's had some good results of late (Heilbronn quarters and Kazan semis, to be specific). The German also won their only meeting, on clay in Gstaad '08. In that same section, would-be fifth seed and ATP Jo'burg finalist Somdev Devvarman withdrew and was replaced by lucky loser Alberto Brizzi, which is a good break for Uladzimir Ignatik, as the Belarussian was slated to play Somdev in the first round and now isn't.
K.Beck, meanwhile, gets Estonian Jurgen Zopp at the other end of the draw, and would play the winner of the tough first round contest between ATP Jo'burg semifinalist Izak Van der Merwe and Heilbronn semifinalist Ilija Bozoljac, should he stop Zopp. Also in the bottom section, this match I'm watching right now between Andrej Martin and Martin Klizan, two Slovakians who were right next to one another on last week's WATCH List, looks to be a tough one (though the focus on the webcam keeps changing because of the net between the court and the webcam). I'll let you know my prediction for it as soon as the match comes to its completion. Much-lauded (in these parts anyway) Laurynas Grigelis got a wildcard and will play the other seed in this section, Olivier Rochus. Bottom section is packed, yo – with quality players and Slovaks (note: not mutually exclusive categories).
Third seed Simone Bolelli will make another likely-to-be futile attempt to make it out of his second section, because he'll meet staunch opposition from either Kazan finalist Andreas Beck, or charming wildcard selection Joachim Johansson, playing his 21st match in his last 4 years and making comeback attempt #18 (give or take) in round two – nevermind the fact that Bolelli's first round opponent, Dieter Kindlmann, beat him in their most recent meeting three months ago. Pim Pim, by the way, is being coached in this latest comeback by Magnus Norman, I hear. Funny that while Claudio Pistolesi is outside Italy coaching Robin Soderling, Magnus is coaching a charge who's playing in Bergamo. The other seed in this section, Go Soeda, meets the winner of a Kazan first round rematch between eventual Kazanian champion Marius Copil and the guy he beat in last week's first round, Alexander Kudryavtsev. Wow – Bolelli's doomed, huh?
(but while we're on the topic of comebacks… you, Dominik Hrbaty, on the sixth line of the draw. Don't think I don't see you there. Didn't you retire, man? Like, twice now? And didn't we make a big deal of it both times? What do you want from us, sir?)
Lastly, speaking of rematches… in the draw's third quarter, fourth seed Gilles Muller and Jerzy Janowicz meet here in a reprise of their Courmayeur semi a few days ago, which Muller won in three. Patron saint of my Twitter page, qualifier Alex Sadecky meets still another C'yeur SF'ist (how many of them were there?), Matthias Bachinger, in another ¾ first round, while qualifier Dusan Lajovic meets Freddie Nielsen.
Quimper, France (Hard, Greenset Indoor, €30,000 plus gracious hospitality, 80 pts/€4,300 to champion, last direct acceptance Nikola Mektic #280) – Quimper comes in not with a bang, but a whimper, as its top five prospective entrants – Paul-Henri Mathieu, Daniel Brands, Julian Reister, Arnaud Clement and Andreas Haider-Maurer – all pulled out before a single ball was struck. This leaves Courmayeur champion Nicolas Mahut to wearily man the top-seed turvy tugboat, pulling the rest of the weakened field behind him. He shouldn't have too much trouble with his qualifier-heavy draw section, however (all four qualifiers are in his quarter – how convenient!); the other seed in his quadrant is fellow Frenchman (and sixth seed) Augustin Gensse, who – despite being a frequent WATCH Lister of late – probably won't give Nico too much bother on a fastish surface. The two have never met.
All that pulling out also means that Challenger tennis faves like Henri Kontinen and Amir Weintraub made it into the main draw. Kontinen plays Mr. P2H Himself, wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who – quite frankly – has the better website at the moment. They've not played previously. Weintraub faces a man very similarly aged (24) and ranked (279 to Amir's 259), Frenchie Florian Reynet. They're both at or near career highs in ranking, too, so I'll be watching (i.e. scoreboarding that one very closely).
Conor Niland, who actually flew there, is the tournament's second seed, and he plays the recently WATCH-listed Sebastian Rieschick, which could actually be tough, depending on what mood Richi happens to be in during the match (which can also be variable).
Flight of the Conor
The other seed in Conor's section is David Guez, whom Niland has never played. Guez has an intriguing first-rounder against wildcard 20 year-old Jonathan Eysseric, also a recent WATCH-lister. Marc Gicquel and Nikola Mektic round out that quarter of the draw, which looks to be a tricky little section indeed.
The other seeds in the draw are [4] Josselin Ouanna and [5] Roberto Bautista-Agut (second quarter), and [3] Vincent Millot and [7] Olivier Patience (third quarter). For the sake of attempted brevity (ha!), let's pretend I have nothing interesting to say about them.
In doubles, though, the first round match between Rieschick/Kontinen and Cluskey/McGee is one I'd be keen to see.
Full combo draw is here, and daily OOP is here.
Caloundra, Australia (Outdoor Hard, Plexipave, $50,000 with absolutely no hospitality, 80 pts/$7,200 for champion, last direct acceptance Hiroki Kondo #310: ) – Like the Burnie tourney before it, this one is (probably literally) littered with people I like (there being no hospitality and such). Although I just bet that one of them, Sam Groth, will lose heartbreakingly at the hands of another (say, John Millman, for example). And afterwards the Mailman will lounge on rooftops with wine and Thai and Scrabble. Just a guess. (Legend, btw.)
Headliner Marinko Matosevic plays the blisteringly-hot di Wu, and based on the recent results trajectories of both, it wouldn't shock me if the 19 year-old from China scored the upset. The winner of that match gets the winner of Tennis Australia's Banned/Deported Bad Boy/Problem Child match between Nick Lindahl and Brydan Klein. I'm gonna guess Craig Tiley won't be courtside for that one.
We interrupt this preview for a Slovakian "My Favorite Martin" Match Update from Bergamo: First-named Slovakian Martin melted down and had more trouble with his temper (which is surprising, since last-named Slovakian Martin is usually so hot-headed), but then Martin (last name) choked while serving for the match at *5-3 in what the Italian commentator called "a festival of errors" (but, you know, in Italian). First-named Slovakian Martin held his nerve together better (just barely) for the duration of the match, winning the third set TB 7-3. Klizan stayed on court to argue with ch/ump for about five minutes after the match, and they were still… discussing… when the feed was cut.
