The Castle

[Nekro]

baron britbox, general slasher, and general luggy are solid candidates for "Spock".



so who will it be?

haha, slasher easily, at least he's a programmer (even if a funky one) Luggy:laydownlaughing I imagine Spock's face when he's trying to listen to Pantera:laydownlaughing

 

[britbox]

I've already been offered the Captain Kirk job, so Slasher can be Spock. In diva-like fashion, I demand more money than the rest of the cast put together, 10% of gross income at the box office, half the merchandising rights and my name must be in bold, topleft in a font size bigger than the title of the movie on all posters and promotional literature.

My trailer on set needs to be 40 foot longer than anybody elses.

some bad news folks. Tsonga is out of rogers cup in montreal:


MONTREAL — French tennis star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, ranked eighth in the world, withdrew from the men’s competition at the Montreal Rogers Cup a week ahead of the tournament’s start.

That's too bad. He will be missed.

Hi everyone !! how's everybody ??

First of all thanks to CD, for making a signature for me..It was truly remarkable.
I almost decided on choosing this one for my sig for the cool joker background(http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u572/spartacus120/ashwinsupersig-901_zps72a3aab8.jpg), but the old parchment style was irresistible.

Thanks once again for the signature.

Meanwhile, in tennis world :

1. Roger Federer may be forced to withdraw from the Rogers Cup to deal with the back spasms that have plagued him in recent weeks.
2. Nadal's Response to Djokovic's dad's recent comments : “Djokovic’s father should talk to his son,” he said. “My relationship with him has always been very good and it still is. I’ve lost many games with him, and he with me and have never had any problems.”

Touché.
3. Djokovic's Diet seems to be finally revealed :

An article in the Wall Street Journal lines up Djokovic’s day: “Start by drinking loads of warm water all day long, as well as shakes made with pea protein concentrate. Avoid dairy and stay away from alcohol during tournaments. Eat lots of avocados, cashew butter and very little sugar. Banish caffeine, other than the occasional energy gel bar before matches. Be sure to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, meditate, do plenty of yoga and tai chi, take melatonin supplements, hook yourself up to a biofeedback machine that measures your stress level and, when you have a free moment or two, keep a diary. Feel free to unwind with a cup of warm licorice tea.”

Of course, that’s not all. Djokovic also reveals how he believes in the wonders of manuka honey from New Zealand.

“The first thing I do out of bed is to drink a tall glass of room-temperature water,” Djokovic has written in the book. “The second thing I do might really surprise you: I eat two spoonfuls of (manuka) honey. Every day.”

He also eats the honey during matches. For those who don’t know what manuka honey is, WebMD tells us: Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the native manuka bush. Advocates say it treats wound infections and other conditions.

And how does this diet make him feel?

“My allergies abated; my asthma disappeared; my fears and doubts were replaced by confidence. I have not had a serious cold or flu in nearly three years.”

Hello folks,

finally I made an account here. I was initially a bit reluctant to make yet another tennis forum account but then checked the front page of this site and read the "about" page. This place truly has a great idea; to have news section, blogs, and the forum. That's why I made an account to be able to give my contribution to this place.

Hoping all the best for this site and the people behind it,

August

Good to have you here August. I was only reading your own Blog the other day. If you're interested, we could look at integrating the tennis articles into our own blog section?

Welcome to the Tennis Frontier, the fastest growing tennis website and forum on the planet.

I'd have nothing against my texts being published here if it's OK for you. That would probably make people find them more easier. On the other hand, I may be quite busy this autumn and not have too much time for writing. Let's look at that later this autumn when I know if I really have time for writing.

Hi August,

Don't worry about quantity. We don't put any pressure on bloggers. This is all voluntary, so we appreciate all contributions, regardless of number.

I'll look at that in the autumn. I'll see then if I have enough time for writing after my holiday ends.

There's a saying : its raining cats & dogs out there !! I think the saying may have to be rephrased very soon...
Its been raining extremely heavily out here for the past 24 hours...Yesterday, We recorded a rainfall of 101.4mm in 2 hours !!

Sounds good Emporer Augustus. You write well and it would be good to have you on board.

Good morning Castle.

Hope everyone is feeling great this splendid morning. I have updated my Full Open Era project with a new episode, and was thinking of bringing the thing here too, yet this board has allergies in terms of large images. My LiveRankings post here is yet unhealed.

We could have multiple Spocks. I can be the Spock of the Terran Empire from the mirror universe. I like beards too.

 

[britbox]

I've update the Castle Front Post. Admiral Ashwin's New Castle is in place. General Viruzzz has been added, as has Duchess DJ of Dunrobin.

Emporer Augustus and Lady Billie need to choose castles and state allegiances (i think I know Billies )

 

[masterclass]

Good day all!

Not confirmed, but I expect Nadal to play doubles on the hard courts of Montreal.
Possibly Nadal/Monaco or Nadal/Robredo.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Hi Slasher, let me know what the problems are with large images (do you mean file size or dimensions) and I'll see what I can do.

Well,

http://www.tennisfrontier.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=637

It's only showing images 2 and 4, don't know what's wrong with the post, and the images are shrunk over here. Don't know if it's my problem or a general problem.

 

[britbox]

OK, I copied the Image URL for 1 and 3 and pasted it into the browser address bar and nothing comes up, so I'm guessing the Image URL is wrong for those.

With regard to shrinking - Yes, I coded them to have a max width of 700px, as people on mobile devices where having issues with images that were larger than that in that they couldn't scroll and see the right hand part of the post. I can cut that code out for a specific thread though, so will be able to resolve that issue.

 

[Slasher1985]

Those two links have to work. They work on MTF and T4U perfectly, there is no logical reason for them not working here.

I updated them with the most recent version too, which I also tested in my browser, yet the images are still not loaded.

Beautiful work .. I love it :heart:
