repeated the Verdasco error. very similar situation.... yet took a player w/ less weapons than Verdasco and going against a better player than Verdasco. formula for disaster

1996 Chevrolet Corvette If you’re going to buy a C4 Corvette, get at least a 1996 model. Earlier C4s were as buggy as Windows 2000. By 1996, those bugs were worked out and, in that year, the Grand Sport arrived with a 330-hp LT4 V8 engine. We found what looked like a reasonable 1996 Grand Sport for about US$8,500. Of course, the fibreglass body meant body rust wasn’t a concern, but rust can attack structural members, so if you can find one from a rust-free climate, you’ll always be better off. While the Vette was available as a droptop, we think the coupe provides the best handling.

1998-1999 Acura Integra GS-R Spotted online for about $8,000, these cars were only one step down from the topline Integras of the day. They sported a 1.8-litre engine rated for 170 horsepower and were typically mated to five-speed manual transmissions. If you can find one with a good, rust-free body, it will provide reliable service and a crisp handling experience. Like all Honda four-bangers of the era, watch for the timing belt. It has a typical lifespan of 100,000 kilometres — and missing its replacement can turn an $800 belt job into a $4,000 head job.

2002 Honda Civic SiR This British-built pocket rocket is probably the most fun Honda has ever packed into a Civic. It looks entirely different than the run-of-mill Civics of the day, not the least of which is because it’s a hatchback, the same three-door variety. Honda sold so well in Canada but killed for North America because it never gained traction in the United States. It shared a 2.0L 160-hp twin-cam engine with the Acura RSX and sported a high-mount shift lever for the five-speed close-ratio manual transmission, its only gearbox offering. We weren’t sure it would fit in our sub-$10,000 price class, but we did find a few online between $8,000 and $10,000. Its handling was sharp and responsive despite being a front-driver. And, while it’s British, it’s also Honda, so the electrics are fine. When you’re this much fun, they call you SiR.

Value = zero value in that Kerber match. Would have been nice to get even a WTA blip of 5 breaks in a row, but Pova played like a man. Wire to wire.

Good stuff, billy.
I've been using Ocean spray craisins in my sugar cookies lately-- perfect amount of tart to help offset the sweetness.

Iller, keep up with the craisins they are very good for you.
Grass seed will be labeled for lawns that get full sun, are in the shade or are a combination of sun and shade. A sunny area would receive at least six hours of sunlight. Shade is indicative of no direct sunlight hitting the ground. Some labels on grass seed packages will specify even more distinct sunlight requirements such as part sun, which is four to six hours of sunlight, or part shade, which is less than four hours of sun during the day or dappled shade all day as some sun reaches the ground through a canopy of trees. Grass seeds suitable for full sun include Bermuda and Buffalo. For full sun to part shade: Bahia, Centipede, Fescue, Kentucky Blue Grass, Perennial Ryegrass, St. Augustine and Zoysia. For shade: Newport Kentucky Bluegrass, Creeping Red Fescue, Tall Fescue or Bent Grass.

Climate
Where you live can affect the success of the grass seed you plant. Bahia, Bermuda, Buffalo, St. Augustine and Zoysia are typical types of grass seeds that grow well in the South. Grass grown from those southern seeds would turn brown in the cool climates of the north. Good grass seed choices for cool climates are Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass and Ryegrass. Planting time in warm climates is in the winter while in cool climates, fall is the best time to plant seed.

Water Requirements
Whether you water your lawn will impact the choice of grass seed. Some grass seeds, like Bahia, Bermuda, Buffalo and Fescue are drought tolerant and may get by with rainfall only. Grass seeds that will require water between rainfalls so the grass does not die include Perennial Ryegrass and St. Augustine. To a lesser degree, Centipede and Kentucky Blue Grass can tolerate some dryness but will thrive with watering when rainfall is insufficient for deep soaking.
Area to Cover
What you choose to seed over a small bare area can differ from the type of seeds that you choose to use on your entire lawn. To patch a bare area, a bag for lawn repair can be used. The bag will include a fibrous mix, usually green in color, with seed and fertilizer. The prepared patch mix makes covering bare spots, such as those created from pet urine, easy to repair. There is no seed choice for patch mix. The store will sell what is available for your area.

Traffic
Some lawns are all for show and are seldom walked upon while other lawns are playgrounds that see a lot of activity. Any grass seed can become a showy lawn and most seeds can tolerate some foot traffic. The best choices, though, for play areas are Creeping Red Fescue, Tall Fescue and Meadow Fescue.
