ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease…?"
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over, 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi-final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "

Me and the fellas are at Cheers in West Seneca tonight. It's on Center Rd in the Wimbledon Plaza. We haven't seen each other in a few days so we're pretending we're friends. Chances are someone is going home with hurt feelings born of rock-n-roll glory. Kidding aside...come see us!
Little Johnny asks for a TV in his room and his Dad, reluctantly, agrees. Next day, Johnny comes downstairs and asks "Dad, what’s love juice?"
Dad, looks horrified, but tells little Johnny all about sex.
Poor lad just sat there, mouth wide open in amazement, until Dad asked "So what were you watching?"

Little Johnny asked for a TV in his room & his dad reluctantly agreed. A few days later, Johnny came downstairs & asked his dad, "What's a Love-Juice, dad?". The horrified father pondered for a moment, then sat his son down & told him all about sex. The poor little lad kept staring at his dad in astonishment, mouth wide-open. The dad suddenly stopped & asked, "By the way, what really were you watching on TV?". Bewildered little Johnny replied, "Wimbledon!".

Para pemain yang lolos di babak pertama yang menikmati kenaikan terbesar.
Pengelola Kejuaraan Tenis Wimbledon sudah menaikkan jumlah total hadiah sebagai upaya pemerataan kesejahteraan bagi para pemain.
Selama ini muncul kritik bahwa hadiah di empat kejuaraan Grand Sland -termasuk Wimbledon- terpusat kepada para pemenang di nomor-nomor utama dengan mengorbankan para pemain yang berada di peringkat bawah.
Dengan peningkatan ini, maka total hadiah untuk Wimbledon mencapai £16,1 juta atau naik 10%

hi Guys and gals, at last some semblance of respite in the economy was visible with the sensex and nifty rebounding. I am quite sure that the Indian stock market would climb high by leaps and bounds primarily because India's current account deficit is very low and inflation is lowest in india. Surely Current account deficit doesnt matter when it comes to many companies and as i had written earlier in one of the blogs 4000 companies in india are bound to make profits. surely 40 out of 50 nifty stocks are strong and another 4960 stocks are strong primarily because of the massive consumption happening in the indian economy. surely stocks like kingfisher airlines is bound to make massive profits primarily because roland garros is in progress in france, wimbledon is on the anvil in london and also olympics is on the cards in the future. Likewise crude price is dropping and this would really augur well for kingfisher airlines. Despite the carnage in the stock markets for the past 1 week, kingfisher is still holding high and I am quite confident that It would surge very hiogh.

Matt bonner san antonio texas spurs ¥... I have to hand it to Bill Schoening. His captivating musical account of the annual “Rodeo Road Trip” has inspired me to do a little of my own writing on the subject. I would like to start with a topic that is near and dear to all sports fans: heckling.
I get heckled more than any other San Antonio Spur.
I am taunted, teased, and insulted by opposing fans, their wives, and their children. Sometimes, even the popcorn vendors get in on the act.
My tormentors always seem to pick the game’s quietest moment to unleash their bouquet of verbal abuse; in between free throws, during a time out, while I’m inbounding the ball.
Each time, while I’m tempted to abort my inbound pass to Tony Parker and instead, turn around and rifle the ball at the heckler’s head, I defer to common sense and just take it. Hey, they paid for their tickets. They have the right to act however they want, right? Even if it means blowing out my candle to make their own shine brighter (insert slowly rolling tear on cheek here).
The thesis of this piece begs the obvious question: why do I get heckled so much? I’d like to think I’m a good guy who plays hard and is about the right things on and off the court. Or maybe I’m way off with that self-given synopsis of myself?
After some serious soul searching, it came to me. Opposing fans don’t hate me because I’m a bad guy. They heckle me because I’m an easy target. I never considered this to be the case until I went through the typical subject matter of opposing fans’ taunts.
1. My Shoes - I had the fortune of being sponsored by New Balance for two glorious seasons. Here’s the problem: New Balance stopped sponsoring basketball players almost three years ago. So while the other two or three players in the NBA wearing New Balance switched to Nike or Adidas or British Knights, I was left in the proverbial shoebox. Nobody wanted me.
To this day, I am still wearing New Balance basketball sneakers I have left over from the “good old days”. I’m down to my last four or five pairs and have no clue what I’m going to do when they run out. I even called New Balance in the hopes that they would send me some more. They said no. I then scoured the internet and came up emptier than Leonardo Dicaprio at the Oscars. In a last ditch attempt, I found one pair in my size on E-Bay but they were purple. The scrutiny from Coach Pop wouldn’t be worth it... But they are soooooo comfortable! The point is, I am obviously the only person wearing New Balance basketball sneakers in the NBA, possibly the world. Apparently that’s NOT COOL.
2. My Last Name - [Insert joke here.] Keep in mind that I’ve been hearing that one since second grade. There is nothing more annoying then seeing someone who thinks he’s the first one to ever make a joke connecting my last name’s phonetic likeness to another really funny word.
3. My Red Hair - Red heads are a dying breed... especially in the NBA. I think we’re down to me, Brian Scalabrine, and kind of Blake Griffin. By the way, thank you South Park for the “Kick a Ginger” episode.
4. My Paleness - If I hear one more taunt about how I need to get some sun I’m going to lose it like John McEnroe circa 1981 Wimbledon. It doesn’t make any sense! Think about it. I have very pale skin. People like me generally do whatever we can to avoid the sun... because we have pale skin. Having pale skin makes us prime candidates for a common and serious sun-caused disease called melanoma. Why would I want to get more sun?
5. My leaping ability (or lack thereof) - Hecklers are quick to point out that I can’t jump. They think such verbal daggers are an insulting blow to my ego. Quite the contrary. I take it as a compliment. The simple fact that I can succeed in the NBA while very rarely getting any higher than 10 inches above court level is a tribute to my basketball ability. That’s not to say I won’t make the ESPN Top 10 as an ornament in a Blake Griffin montage from time to time. But I’ve generally learned to adapt my game.
I understand that heckling is a part of sports. For whatever reason, some fans find fulfillment through taunting people they don’t know anything about. People who in all likelihood, the heckler would probably really like if they ever did get to know them. But hey, I’m not one to talk. The verbal assault I laid on The Rock for stealing Stone Cold Steve Austin’s belt at Monday Night Raw in 1997 was hardly polite.
