the Sports Center

Played tennis yesterday at the Sports Center. Lesson was great, albeit it did put my pliance to test. We were somehow able to move on to the next moves which are backhand and its variations like double backhand and running backhand and forehand plus backhand. Most of them were done in short shots. I reckon it's yet too early to practice on the base line. Sponged off tons of sweat from me, even so. The last minutes were devoted to services. I don't think I did well enough to skip its rehearsal next session. I couldn't get it within the opposite box and according to the instructor, my arm is still inflexible when striking from above. And most of those that bounced in were second-raters. Too bad.

TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer, эталонная марка престижных спортивных часов и хронографов с 1860 г., в настоящее время имеет четвертый рейтинг на мировом рынке часов класса люкс. Благодаря своему активному участию в спортивных событиях, легендарная фирма по производству часов создала самые точные спортивные измерительные приборы и хронометры из всех, которые когда-либо производились. Начиная с участия в организации Олимпийских Игр 1920-х годов и вплоть до ее новой роли в качестве официального хронометриста легендарных гонок Инди 500 и чемпионата IRL, компания TAG Heuer всегда находилась в постоянном поиске инноваций, стремясь к наивысшему уровню качества и престижа. Это отражено в ее сотрудничестве с командой McLaren Mercedes в Формуле 1; с Тайгером Вудсом и Яном Поултером на самых высоких уровнях международного гольфа и с Хуаном-Пабло Монтойя и Кими Райконеном, занимающими верхние ступени Формулы 1. С Брэдом Питтом и Умой Турман часы TAG Heuer как никогда символизируют 'Спорт и Очарование'.
Со времени создания в 1860 году компанию TAG Heuer отличают смелость и авангардизм, опережающие ожидания современного мира. В1916 г. производители часов с недоверием отнеслись к представленному компанией TAG Heuer хронографу Micrograph, точность которого достигала 1/100 секунды. Спустя полвека точность измерения Microtimer составляет уже 1/1000 секунды. Появление в 1969 г. Chronomatic - первого автоматического часового механизма с микроротором - привело к технологическому скачку во всей часовой промышленности. В 1983 г. появляется первый кварцевый аналоговый хронограф, а спустя 20 лет компания TAG Heuer делает новый смелый шаг, объединив в одном корпусе две различные технологии: автоматический механизм и цифровой механизм с точностью измерения времени до 1/1000 секунды, - это концепт-часы Tag Heuer Monaco Sixty Nine.

Компания TAG Heuer не может и не должна ограничиваться лишь технологическими новшествами. Одной из важнейших отличительных особенностей этой марки является постоянный поиск новаторского и классического дизайна, что подтверждает серия Kirium -коллекция с цельным и эргономичным дизайном. В этой серии используется запатентованный браслет с системой звеньев, обеспечивающей максимальный комфорт. Требовательность и стремление к совершенству прослеживаются и в области рекламы: "Don't Crack under Pressure" ("Выстоять под Давлением"), "Success, It's a Mind Game" ("Успех. О чем думают победители") - рекламные кампании, никого не оставившие равнодушными. При помощи рекламы в мир роскоши и часового искусства смело и изобретательно внедряется авангардный стиль. То же можно сказать и о последней кампании со слоганом "What Are You Made of?" ("Из чего сделан ты?"), в рекламном ролике которой сопоставляются скорость посланного Тайгером Вудсом (Tiger Woods) мяча и автомобиля в гонках Формула 1. Этот неординарный ролик демонстрирует творческие способности и высокие технологии, предопределяющие престиж компании TAG Heuer. "Swiss Avant-Garde since 1860" ("Швейцарский авангард с 1860 г.") - лозунг, отражающий философию компании, остающейся верной своей истории и своим корням на протяжении почти 145 лет своего существования.

Fly My friend

Летит, мой друг, крылатый век,
В бездонну вечность все валится.
Уж день сей, час и миг протек,
И вспять ничто не возвратится никогда.
Краса и молодость увяли,
Покрылись белизной власы,
Где ныне сладостны часы,
Что дух и тело чаровали завсегда?

Таков всему на свете рок:
Не вечно на кусту прельщает
Мастистый розовый цветок,
И солнце днем лишь просияет, но не в ночь.
Мольбы напрасно мы возводим:
Да прелесть юных добрых лет
Калечна старость не желет!
Нигде от едкой не уходим смерти прочь...

Santa Cruz, Pacific Ocean and San Francisco

We started the sixth day by driving to Santa Cruz. Unfortunately I found the city confusing to drive around. Not because of my English driving hang-ups; I was well over those now, but because all the signs seemed to have been switched to confuse enemy invaders. There were many signs pointing to the beach front but all we found was a motionless fun park of inert rollercoasters. We eventually took Road One north and headed for San Francisco hoping to come across a quiet beach on the way. We were not disappointed. a few miles south of Half Moon Bay we pulled over into a lay-by. We crossed the road and found a narrow track which took us over the railway line to a beautiful sandy cove. The Pacific Ocean crashed upon the steep beach and pelicans bobbed on the breakers. There was not a single human soul to be seen. Dorrie and I lay on the sand until the in-coming tide forced us onto a rocky plateau. We drank a can of Bud Lite and marvelled at the peace and quiet. We could not even hear the traffic on the road.

We arrived in San Fransisco at about five o'clock. With sand still between my toes I pulled into a parking bay of the Marina Heritage hotel on Van Ness Street. For $79.00 plus tax we were happy to book in and begin our exploration of the city. That very evening we took a boat trip on a boat called the Lovely Maria around the bay, under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Alcatraz rock. It was difficult to believe that we were there in one of the most famous bays in the world. The city looked like a glistening fairytale in the evening sun. As the guide told us about the proportions of the Golden Gate Bridge we were transfixed by the kite-boarders and sail-boarders who sped across the wake of the boat. The kite-boarders leapt off the surface of the water, twisting and turning like a reluctant shark on a fishing line. Again and again I tried to capture the acrobatics with my camera. Unfortunately the sun was behind them and not one picture turned out successfully.

While on board the boat our guide told us about the 1989 earthquake. He explained that soon after it a huge bull sea lion had turned up at K dock, Pier 39. After some attempts to discourage him the businessmen of Pier 39 decided that he and his 300 friends were quite a tourist attraction. They vacated the dock and erected wooden platforms for the sea lions to bask on. In the winter as many as 600 sea lions congregate there. I made a mental note to visit K dock and see the magnificent creatures for myself.


We walked further along Fisherman's Wharf and ate Clam Chowder with sour dough bread as advised by many who knew San Francisco. It was delicious and a meal in itself.
