I'm a double major with little time to relax. I work a job, go to the gym multiple times a week, and maintain above a 3.6. Guess what I do when I want to unwind at the end of a long day. I can see why Phelps isn't a "perfect" human being by ridiculously unreal standards. A lot of people...

Has anyone heard these guys before? They are a Jersey Shore rock influenced punk band. So far they've made their biggest buzz in the UK even though their sound is pure Americana. I saw them in a living room in Philadelphia last summer before they really took off but I'm surprised they...

MY PA DUTCH PEOPLE (Germans)

How do they treat you in Western Russia? I've heard some pretty appalling things about Russians in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg attacking people from the Caucuses, Central Asia, etc.

Part of Russia is in Europe as well. Ethnic Russians are considered European by stock.

Get a 4.0 at least one semester in my life. Quit smoking cigarettes when I get out with my buddies. Take my girlfriend out to dinner/ concerts/ stuff like that more. Save up to take a trip to Switzerland and Germany next winter.

If you're younger look into Rotary International. Was the best decision I ever made.

My current girlfriend puked on our first date after having too much to drink. I did the right thing and got her a sandwich and walked her to her place. I then made myself elusive for about 4 days and it seemed to work! Nicest girl to have pursue me after a first date. Now I know I'm going to...

From Wiki: "Colonel von Stauffenberg's son also voiced concerns over Cruise's portrayal of his father, saying that he would not oppose the film's production, but hoped that Cruise would drop the role. "I fear that only terrible kitsch will come out of the project. It's bound to be rubbish,"...

Low bounce? I think it's a matter of how heavy the ball is. I played junior tennis in Switzerland and a few guys in my club hit with heavy enough topspin that they would hit it right into my strike zone. (I'm 6'4) Now when I played doubles with the older guys it was a different story. If you...

So until I can travel back to Pennsylvania in two weeks to see a doctor, I'm stuck wondering what's going on with my legs. I've been suffering from chronic pain in my knees for about two months now. Recently, upon quick movements or mild jogging my legs have started to buckle and they give...

Where are you from Paul? I'm from Honey Brook in Chester County. I think I'm going to send an application out to Pitt in the next few weeks I guess.

Unfortunately I don't have any money of my own:( I'm paying for school completely on loans that I'm taking out on my own. If I were to go to Europe, I'd be interested in Uni St. Gallen as I lived about 20 minutes from there at one point. But alas, I'm lower middle class:(

No, I meant that I won't turn down a private school because many of them offer good scholarships.

I just finished my first year at Hofstra University on Long Island. Not to offend anyone here, but after a year I've come to realize that the people and the area aren't for me. Before college, I lived in a very small town in Pennsylvania and consequently, I think my mentality simply doesn't...

Take a racquet from the 80s with similar specs to a "modern" racquet and play with it. You'll be surprised how little models like the prestige line have actually changed in the past 20 years.

Nah, for the few months a year that I'm actually in PA, I use Verizon DSL.

It also has to do with the way the court is maintained. Nowadays, aeration is done more often to help maintain healthy grass. When soil plugs are removed, it also fights thatch. The soft thatch layer that used to rest atop of the soil is now a thing of the past. Consequently, courts are...

That's just the string pattern. A lot of racquets, such as the prestige models, have a big space in the bottom.

Nope! Roger Federer won Gerry Weber in 2003. Where was Nadal in 03? It's common practice for past champions to return to the same event. The fans expect it and the organizers expect it.

Notice how it specifies that it's for grass.

Does anyone know how Frei is doing after yesterday? Oh well:( Hopp Schwiiz!

Nope, one of mine is Austrian and the other is Czech.

The i.prestige MP is a beautiful racquet to say the least. It's not as nearly as forgiving as other racquets of its head size, but if you hit it at the right spot, it gives you some of the greatest feel ever. I was a usual midplus user before I got mine and my first couple "off" days with the...

I also get where you're going with it not being his usually hitting side. However, he completely lacks trunk rotation with it. It's hard to get good pace and control with a one hander if you don't get down on the ball and use your torso. Here's what I'm talking about: A lot of...

Not to be a jerk or anything, but how do we know if it's actually any good? There's no sight of where the ball is going and a lot of people can easily make a somewhat flashy swing with a one hander but it usually goes into the net or sails out. In my honest opinion, it just kind of looks like...

He has some of the smoothest groundies on tour. Fun fact about Seppi: He's from Tyrol, the former Austrian part of Italy. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Federer seems to have taken a lesson from Djokovic. He's coming to the net much more than he usually does against Nadal. My opinion is that it's his best bet to beat him too.

Kohlschreiber made a very good point that he was actually swinging and stopped in mid motion due to the call. Robredo, however, said that because he stopped play, he is at error. I'm pretty sure Robredo noticed that kohlschreiber stopped his swing due to the call and that's where I find the...
