2010 Australian Open Tennis, Henin vs Serena Williams,,,and BOTH are overwhelmed with fear,,,and play high school level tennis in the first few games

Serena Williams , the comment-kluckers say, has made over $30M, playing when stressed/pressed high school level tennis !! And Henin has made over $20 MILLION in her career,,,SO MANY DOUBLE FAULTS AND UNFORCED ERRORS,,,holy shit, when playing high school level tennis in the first two games of this contest !! I know the winner and loser get paid well and you only have to win each game , even at the lowly level of women's tennis, to succeed. You don't have to play great tennis, just good enough to win. Yikes, such lousy play,,,and such enormous financial rewards. Why aren't more athletic women with good self-esteem and self-confidence getting in on this easy-money career?

Before the match, the comment-kluckers were comparing the forehands, the backhands , the first serves, and the second serves of both. What a waste of time !! Let's be real because what really matters is how confident a tennis player is ,or will they fall apart not physically but mentally-emotionally and self-defeat themselves. Both were obviously so nervous in the first few games--Serena pounding balls into the net, hitting balls off the court,,,and Henin hitting long which is sooo high school--that it was a matter of who was going to self-defeat first, rather than who could play better tennis.

Men's tennis is played at such a higher skill level than women's tennis. It is like day and night. Serena would not last one game with Federer or win one point in a match!! But the usual winners and usual losers in women's tennis keep playing and making millions, even at such embarrassing sloppy emotionally-frail high school level of play. When will women's tennis reach a skill level, not just pay level, even 70-80% of that of men's tennis !? And the commentators keep ignoring the obvious and bla-bla-bla-ing,,,

I CAN NOT WATCH,,,the level of play is just too low and embarrassing for the term 'professional'(does that just mean getting paid to play?),,,and it looks, again, like the more talented player will have confidence problems and Henin self-destruct,,,

With $Millions give to Cancer research every year, why do we not hear yearly how they are doing ??

How far away IS the cause and cure for ,say, breast cancer ? 10 years,,,50 years,,,200 years ?

Why is American medical research so silent on their progress,,,with our millions and billions in donations ?!

Jan.2010, California is officially 'broke' and 'busted', as it can not even afford to keep the prisoners in prision

What are the Republican candidates for Governor going to do, 'reduce the size and cost of government' even more, so we have violent convicted felons housed in our garages,,,?

Government serves a real and we are learning vital purpose, and to say that you can cut taxes drastically and reduce the size of govenment and run government on huge generation-busting debt,,,is just plain IRRESPONSIBLE. Corporations and multinationals do not need any more govt. welfare !!

Jan.2010,the U.S.A, must to survive return to steep progressive income tax rates

"Trickle down economics" has not worked,,,,The much ballyhooed "Contract with America" was a blueprint for national self-destruction, by the Republicans. We must raise taxes on the rich and super-rich, that can certainly afford it.

"UP IN THE AIR" , the new movie,,,be prepared,,,is very sad, depressing, tragic and lonely

The Europeans like alot of these ,,,but don't be fooled by the upbeat 'trailer' and 'movie poster',,,this is a VERY SAD MOVIE.

Instead , recommend "BLIND SIDE" with a poor abandoned black kid who is taken in by a super rich white family and becomes a more loving connected successful human being. Why are african-americans so accepting of high school dropouts, drugs and violence in their American communities,,,still ?

Recent arrival Latinos, too,,,Don't they value education, the rule of law and justice, their black brothers and sisters, and good health ?

Jan.2010, the Australia Open Tennis,,,another year of embarassing womens tennis ?!

Thank you, Tennis God, for bringing back Ms. Henin , Ms.Clisters, and a few young competent women challengers !! Otherwise, there is ,compared to the quality of men's tennis, so little quality to watch on the women's side. It is night and day in quality, generally.

The match play between Serena Williams vs Petra Kvitova, was not so much a 'win' for Serena as a total mental-fear meltdown for Petra. So embarrassing to watch !! The commentators were b.s.-ing as usual when the Williams sisters play, not pointing out their terrible footwork nearly stepping on themselves, and being so fat-ass out of shape unfit and being so unconfident mentally that they easily crumble into lousy beginner shots in the net or wild off court. And the negative muttering,,,

And poor Petra Kvitova had the cola-high to say she wanted to be a serious player and number one some day! Then she gets on the court with Serena, who is obviously less fit than she is,,,and is even playing less well than Petra,,,but due to fear, that illogical emotion,,,Petra does not see the reality of her good chances of winning, but due to weak self-esteem or self confidence and fear of winning, Petra totally falls apart and defeats herself. Does she not have a box of fans or a coach to cheer her on ?!! Serena did NOT win, but Petra 'choked', failed to control her feelings and use the reality of her correct perceptions that that day she WAS a better player than Serena. Petra, play a lot of men and women in black leotards to overcome the novelty of beating a black leotard,,,if you want to be a winner, and not a professional 'choker' at tennis like so many women of the past.

Now i am watching the match of Venus Williams vs Casey Dellacqua, who HAS beaten Sprem. But Venus, the former 'champion', is lowering her play to that of Casey !! Champions, true professional, talented, in control, confident champions ,,,DO NOT DO THAT. Casey, you too need to play aLOT of men and women in black tights, becuz you can not see the reality for your fears and emotions,,,the reality that you can beat Venus vs your fear of the word 'champion' with Venus. Tennis is such a confidence game that if you do not see and take advantage when you in reality have an advantage over your opponent, you can defeat yourself. It is a physical and very mental-fitness game !! The stats SCREAM 'this is junior high school play!!': Venus vs Casey,,,1st serve % is 55-52, and DF/double faults is 7!!-3 for Casey, and UE/unforced errors is 36!!-35 . Venus had more DFs and UEs than the fat slow no-run kid Casey.

Like Petra, who did not need an opponent, but would have continue to lose with no one else on the court ,,,because she had already lost the mental-emotional-confidence-perception of reality game of tennis !!

Timeshares,,,Everyone i know who suckers and buys one has had SERIOUS BUYER'S REMORSE afterwards,,,

People start making some money, like my public school teacher sister, and they think "oh, i can afford something luxurious like a ,,,timeshare" unwise thinking !! She bought one in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,,,and now they are killing American tourist in the fancy resorts complexes down there !!

Timeshares are a bad bad BAD IDEA,,,for most people. Period.

If you are a GP-M.D. or a PCP-M.D. who has not yet talked to everyone of your patients about getting both flu shots,,,you may be a big part of the USA

medical problem !!

My Kaiser doctor did not tell me or talk to me about getting both the regular and the swine flu shot. Nor that if you get either, or a temperature over 100F and sick, Kaiser will NOT ADMIT YOU,,,even tho you are sick and near death !!

San Jose's Classic Car Washes will cloth pad machine buff your headlights clear like new for $50,,,Acura dealers want $180

Classic Car Wash has four locations in Silicon Valley. I used the Robertsville location on Almaden Expressway. My headlight lenses now look almost as good as new, buffed all 4 for $50. I do recommend Classic Car Wash !!

Acura ,,,is not a luxury car brand to me, but just another Honda

My driver's door window slowed down too much by year 3-4. Is there a speed setting feature to increase the speed as the car and window motor age ? No. Buy another window motor. And have it wear out and go too slow in 3-4 years !! Talk about bad design !!

Even the driver's seat belt retracting spring got too slow and too weak by the 3rd year !! Is there a feature to adjust and speed or increase the action of that driver's seat belt spring ? No. Buy a replacement part at outrageous prices !!

By 5 years the plastic , 'sealed' unit headlights, at about $500 each to replace, developed a sun-damage surface haze on the plastic headlight lens, almost as if it had been spray painted white. Acura dealers want $180 to cloth pad buff for a few minutes this plastic aging haze off !! And in San Jose, Classic Car Wash will do it for $50 !! Acura should be doing it for free, after selecting an inferior plastic instead of safety glass lenses.

I "Perma-plated" the paint, but it did not last from the dealer at about $500 for even one year !! What a waste,,,and think of all the hand wax jobs i could have bought for $500 !!

Does every Acura come standard with leather seats, a choice of 5 spoke wheels, dual vanity mirrors, keyless remote and security system, regular or unleaded gas or clean diesel option, and free oil changes like BMW,,,?

Probably not. Therefore , save your money and buy a Lexus or a real luxury car brand,,,not an over-priced and un-luxury 'Acura' Honda !!

The Greenest quick action the President could take any day,,,would be to time the stop lights on every Expressway and major boulevard-divided street

in America !! This would help every city and every county in the USA, IMMEDIATELY. With less smog created stopped or slow going in traffic just because of untimed stoplights, and less time wasted waiting for stupid untimed stoplights ,like most we have here in Silicon Valley.

What is the point of being the manufacturing hub for computers, the original Silicon Valley, when we do not benefit socially and environmentally and practically !?

We got the massive ground water pollution, but the city and county and state and federal politicians will not give us the regulated safe under-the-speed-limit practical flow of traffic !! Instead we get massive traffic jams, mainly because the cities like San Jose are too lazy for decades to time the major street stop lights !!

This is so backward and stupid and impractical,,,and polluting and wasteful !!

And the new Democrats in Washington, D.C. don't seem to be much better than the Republicans at facing up to the many neglected problems America faces,,,

If you are a Kaiser patient and do not get either flu vac., but get a 101F fever and flu-like symptoms,,,Kaiser says you will be denied admission to

the Kaiser Hospitals !!

Yikes,,,most people,then, best get the regular annual flu vaccination,,,and the 'swine' flu vaccination.

The male nurse today said that over 50,000 Americans die each year from the regular flu !! I said 'that is alot' and he said 'no, that is normal'.

Don't be counted among the careless death toll.
