The 2009 US Open Tennis tournament began yesterday, and some good games have already been played. Britain’s Andy Murray play Latvian Ernests Gulbis in the first round of the US Open.

Murray Uses Patient Game to Beat Big-hitting Gulbis. Andy Murray played a patient, steady game to defeat big-hitting Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 7-5 6-3 7-5.

In the first set, Murray traded baseline blows with 95th-ranked Gulbis and the Latvian responded with wild misses and blistering winners and pushed the Scotsman to five set points before finally succumbing to a service break in the 12th game.

Andi Murray, runner-up last year (the champ was Roger Federer) in his first grand slam final, then varied his attack by mixing in forays to the net and took advantage of mounting mistakes from Gulbis, who had 51 unforced errors, 30 more than Murray.

Murray advanced to a second-round match against 87th-ranked Paul Capdeville of Chile.

The only two male tennis players who are believed to travel regularly on private jets are Roger Federer, the world No 1, the US Open champion for the past five seasons and the greatest racket-swinger of all time, and Ernests Gulbis, the world No 95 from Latvia.

California Gold Rush Mining in 1849

The California Gold rush is back after 160 Years. This time it seems to be recession driven.

The number of people coming to California to pan for gold is up as the economy has gone down.

Professional gold panners say they make an average of $60 to $80 in a day, but most amateurs who do it recreationally make significantly less.

Some who have lost their jobs and become gold panners quickly learn that it takes hard labor.

Gary Mosher says he comes from Colorado, and sees the effect of new prospectors first hand.

“He’s sleeping in a tent with his son and his wife; doesn’t have a job; got a car,” said Mosher. “Taking drinking water out of the side of the mountain and hoping to find enough gold to buy groceries.”

Gold panning professionals are also seeing an influx of vacationers who are choosing to come to California to pan for gold to try to make some money while taking time away from their day jobs.

“We’ve had people from Texas, from Ohio, from Georgia, from Tennessee, from New York all come out here and use this as their vacation to get a little bit of extra money,” Dennis Robnett of Pioneer Mining Supplies said.

Some estimate there is a 15% increase in gold panners. It will cost you about $40 for basic supplies to get started.

Peanut butter and jam sandwich in the UK, Canada and Australia, is a sandwich that includes a layer of peanut butter and either jelly or jam on bread, commonly between two slices, but sometimes eaten open faced, that is, with peanut butter and jam or jelly on each of two slices, eaten without putting the two slices together and without folding each slice of bread.

Peanut butter is a food paste made primarily from ground roasted peanuts, with or without added oil. It is popular throughout the world and is also manufactured in some emerging markets. Its primary use is as a sandwich spread.

In some types of gourmet peanut butter, chocolate or other ingredients may be added. Various nut butters are also made from other nuts.

Jam contains both fruit juice and pieces of the fruit’s (or vegetable’s) flesh,however some cookbooks define Jam as cooked and gelled fruit (or vegetable) purees.

Properly, the term jam refers to a product made with whole fruit, cut into pieces or crushed. The fruit is heated with water and sugar to activate the pectin in the fruit. The mixture is then put into containers.

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is very popular with both adults and children in the US and Canada. A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 1,500 of the sandwiches before graduating from high school.Jars of pre-mixed
peanut butter and jelly are commercially available for making these sandwiches.
