Breaking Barriers - Strongman Training
Posted by Elias Arcondoulis on Oct 09, 2014 in #Ambassador Blogs.
I have finished my squat and deadlift cycles. I achieved a new personal best in the squat, 237.5kg and then 242.5kg. I managed to do each lift twice too. The following week I missed 250kg BUT got it the week after! This was a massive milestone for me to achieve, being the quarter ton, and performed without a belt or knee wraps.
I recently deadlifted 286kg/3 x 3, which was a personal best for 2 and 3 reps, let alone 3 sets. The following week I hit 300kg again, to prove that it is an "any day of the week" weight, and I will now commence a fresh volume cycle, aiming for 320kg +.
I have recently included high volume bench pressing back into my regime, hitting 10×10 at 65kg one day and 70kg the other in week 1. I also did 10×8 on 85kg, then 10×8 on 90kg and 10×8 on 100kg the following weeks. I always ensure that I perform plenty of upper back work and light power snatches post-bench pressing, to ensure that my neutral spine position is maintained and I prevent postural issues later in life. I can't stress enough the importance of upper back work after bench pressing.
I have also brought back Olympic cleans and push press behind head to assist with explosive power. I managed a 150kg clean (just missed 162kg) and a comfortable 145kg push press behind head. I aim to clean 165kg and push press 155kg by the end of the year.
My diet is similar to the last blog entry: plenty of carbohydrates (approx. 400g rice a day) and protein (approx. 1kg chicken, 300g steak) for gaining strength, as well as bananas, strawberries and plenty of salad and veg. I have been consuming Muscle Food 101 post-training to assist with recovery. BCAA Recovery during training to help me keep going and overall energy levels during training, and NO3X to provide me with a boost as I enter the gym, which has benefited me significantly during the heavier end of the training cycles.
Train hard and smart!

How to Make the Best Lemon Cream Cheese Bars
Nothing brings a recipe to life like fresh lemons! Here is our easy, scrumptious, top-rated recipe, along with some tried-and-true tips for making perfect lemon bars:
Recipe: Lemon Cream Cheese Bars
Tried and True Tips from Our Community
Try this with the crust:
- "I cook the bottom crust first, let it cool then layer the rest as stated. It keeps the bottom from being doughy." - rebecca
- Substitute 6 sheets of Phyllo dough for each layer of crescent-roll dough, says Alaskafoodie.
- Karen Kelleher suggests this treatment to keep the crust from getting soggy: "I placed Parchment paper [in the bottom of the pan], sprayed it lightly, placed the crescents as instructed. Then I beat a whole egg and "painted" the top of the bottom crust, added the filling, top crust I also painted with egg and topped with the sugar. Perfect! Glazed and shiny top, nice crisp bottom. Why? the egg cooks and makes a moisture barrier between the filling and the bottom crust."
Make it healthier:
- Make it lower in fat and sugar by using reduced-fat cream cheese and Splenda, says lutzflcat.
Play with the flavor:
- Maggie13 wanted a milder lemon flavor: "I used juice from only 1 lemon but the zest of two. It had just the right amount of lemon flavor. My lemons were rather large so I only used one." She also added about a half tsp of vanilla to cream cheese mixture.

Irish musician Niall Breslin, better known as Bressie, has joined Toyota Ireland's new #FaceItDown campaign along with RTÉ 2FM's Eoghan McDermott and Blathnaid Treacy.
We caught up with Bressie to find out about the campaign, his first car and if he passed the driver's test first time around. Watch the full interview above.
The fine for using a mobile phone while driving is €60 and two penalty points, despite this, many drivers are continuing to text and drive.
Earlier this year, an AA survey revealed that 46.5% of people said they had witnessed the use of mobile phones while driving "on a daily basis".
In response to this growing issue, the #FaceItDown app was launched in association with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and Topaz - the great thing is that the app works regardless of your brand of car.
How does the app work? Watch the vid and read below.
How the app works:
Drivers open the app before setting off on their journey and simply leave their phone face down. Points will be earned for every kilometre driven without picking up the phone. However, if the phone is turned over while driving, all points will be lost.
Points accrued can be redeemed against a complimentary hot drink for every 350 KM's travelled at 159 participating Topaz Re Store sites across Ireland. 250 bonus points will be awarded for a user's first successful journey and at interim periods.
Bressie joined fellow #FaceItDown ambassador Eoghan McDermott on RTÉ 2fm yesterday afternoon to discuss their work on the campaign. Listen below:

This T-shirt project was done few days before our trip to Parga, Greece, of September 2008. My son got a dozen of plain white shirts given by his Godmother from the Philippines but I only used 11 shirts for this project. Instead of buying more shirts for the trip, I took the plunge of drawing cutie on every shirt then used fabric pens for coloring. Of course my son has the say on what to draw =)
It turned out cute and just last week I'm trying my best to find all the shirts down the basement but sad to say I found only one piece. Will find the rest of the shirts some other day coz I have another project in my mind on what to do with those cutie shirts.
So next time you have plain white shirts try to doodle or draw then color =)
Thanks for viewing!

my dvb card is skystar usb hd i have 2 lnbs first alone ( hotbird ) on seperated dish , the other on other dish ( nilesat )but shared with other recievers
to make diseqc working it was difficult , on progdvb diseqc
settings i tried all 4 but the only one worked is diseqc 1.0 , but hardware diseqc 1.0 , 2.0 switchs not working .
The only one i tried and worked was diseqc 1.2 ( don't have motor ) it was difficult to find.
i had problems with channels changing frequency and after every reboot channels changed the working become not working and vers versa
i figured it was the second lnb because it is shared with other , so i moved it to a seperated dish , and every thing working fine except some frequencies on hotbird
which are S2 with refresh rate 29900 or 29700 not working with L: 100% Q: 0% , any advice will be appreciated

From G4GEE
Recently returned from a cruise around the Med and had permission to operate /MM.
Had some fantastic contacts with my 817 and the Wonder Wand.
Wkd HC, HI, PY,ZS,KP4 and a few yanks on 10m.
Also wkd LU on 12m.
13 August 2013
I have the MFJ extendable whip…a similar product that I bought in Frankfurt Germany, when we lived there some years ago. I have also built my own, to no real success.
Thus far with this loop I have worked C6, DL, DU, EI, G and HB as well as a number of US of A stations. CW and SSB.
I'm happy. Thanks again.
Good antenna!
It is not the same as a 4 element yagi up in the air 100 feet. But it is not supposed to be that. This antenna IS better than any other portable "mounted directly to the radio" antenna that I have ever used.
Good stuff! Thanks!

Hi Carl.
Despite the awful conditions over the weekend I still managed several reasonable contacts into Europe, the best being Portugal and Slovakia using the Wonder Loop and the Mk4, I just missed a Sicily contact on 6M as the band went flat, on Saturday I made several 6m contacts on the loop while the conditions were ok - 5/1 & 5/2 received on most qso's but I was easily heard with 5W on the 817, most of my contacts were very complimentary regarding the audio quality so overall I am very pleased with the loop, hopefully the conditions will improve in the next few days.

As we come up upon the 46th New Balance Falmouth Road Race weekend, we also celebrate the 85th birthday of race founder Tommy Leonard. In honor of TL a light verse recalling that other great running institution associated with TL, Boston's Eliot Lounge. Happy birthday, TL. See you soon.
For this is where we runners met,
The bar we called our own,
Hard along the marathon course,
Just a half a mile from home,
On the corner of Mass. and Commonwealth Aves.,
In Boston's old Back Bay,
Where we came to recover from training,
And put PRs on display.
With Tommy Leonard tending taps,
The guru in his lair,
Every runner's true best friend,
With a heart big enough to share.
And Coach Squires in his corner,
The Wack in classic form,
Holding court, as usual,
Untranslatable being the norm.
With walls festooned with photos,
Of racers in their glory,
Posters, banners, flags, as well,
Each one with a telling story.
It's where Rodgers came to drown a loss,
Or celebrate a record run,
And Joanie nipped with barracudas,
A champion, not a nun.
With footprints of the running stars,
Pressed out front in wet cement,
Course Tommy mixed the formula wrong,
So the prints didn't quite indent.
And remember the night the horse clopped in,
Or the Stanford marching band,
And Heidi singing in those tight blue jeans,
They and the joint absolutely crammed.
'Twas a clubhouse for every iconoclast,
Be they runner, writer, or pol,
And while few considered themselves joiners,
To the Eliot they came one and all,
When running meant more than fitness alone,
Or a bucket–list item for the masses,
But instead formed a band of close brothers,
Before our youth and speed finally passed us.
Yes, those days are fondly remembered,
When the lines did snake around the block,
But we knew the secret back entrance,
Sometimes I wish we could turn back the clock.
When time was the measure of excellence,
And Greater Boston the club above all,
When speed was the currency in issue,
But a good time was at night at Fall Call.
And Greater Boston the club above all,
When speed was the currency in issue,
But a good time was at night at Fall Call.
Still, if running has taught us any lesson,
It's that time stands still for no man,
No matter how hard we might wish it,
'Tis the future we must look to and plan.
Knowing our memories still carry,
Those times that were ours once alone,
When speed and endurance were in abundance,
And we called the Eliot our home.
Sadly, its doors had to shutter,
After the hundredth Marathon was through,
But the friendships we made there still linger,
How fortunate, how lucky, we few,
Who experienced the sport when it was booming,
When its flower was still in first bloom,
When Tommy was our lovable guru,
And the Eliot our nurturing womb.
So thanks to all who have joined us,
To salute Tommy on his 85 years,
But just consider the man's constitution,
Good God, it should bring us all to tears.

Cultivating Community and Self-Reliance in Cibecue
Growing up in Cibecue on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, Stevie Case often helped his great-grandmother tend her garden. She grew squash, corn, tomatoes and wild spinach. This year, with the help of a garden project supported by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brother Case, of the Cibecue Branch in the Show Low Stake, has a garden of his own for the first time. He also has a shade house nearby for his great-grandmother to sit under and admire the onions (as big as softballs), watermelon, tomatoes, potatoes, summer and winter squash, carrots, beans and corn.
What would he like to learn next? How to make special dishes with vegetables he is growing, he says.
For Brother Case, the garden has given him a gift. He says, "It's give me new perspective about caring for something. It's special. It needs love. I always tend the garden. I live in a tough neighborhood, but people compliment my garden. I offer something as they pass by or invite them to harvest some of it. It's special to be able to give back to the community."
Earlier this year, Elder and Sister Jex, Member and Leader Support missionaries serving in the Show Low Stake, read an article in the news about successful Church-sponsored family gardens on the Navajo Nation. They thought, "That would work here." They began reaching out to local leaders as well as Church headquarters. It didn't take long before the project came together. Supplies arrived from Salt Lake City (fencing materials, water drip system and heirloom seeds), and help was offered by missionaries from the Navajo Nation and Scottsdale Mission, by Show Low Stake President Steve Williams, by Cecil Ivins, Cibecue Branch President, and by master gardeners Dave and Mari Burgess.
This summer in Cibecue, eight gardens have been tilled, planted and weeded. These days, the harvest is truly great. One of these gardens was planted in early July at the alcohol treatment facility in the village. The garden offers a positive diversion from addictive behaviors.
Brother Burgess offered and continues to offer countless hours of effort and technical knowledge about proper fencing techniques and making seed beds. He smiles as he pictures Elder Jex, a retired podiatrist, and Sister Jex as they teach families about gardening, help families decide on seeds, and assist them in preparing to plant. The Jexes have enjoyed working shoulder to shoulder with members of the community.
On a recent visit to the Navajo Nation, General Authorities from the Church applauded the efforts of the garden project by offering classes and a demonstration garden to help educate families with hands-on experience, helping members and neighbors realize greater self-reliance. Brother Burgess hopes in time, such enrichment opportunities will also be available in the community of Cibecue.
Brother Case finds peace in his garden and knows that it's better than being inside watching television. He didn't think the potatoes would grow from the little triangle of a potato start, but they did. He has learned so much. Thanks to the garden project, he says, he is excited for the future.
When asked what he'd tell someone considering growing their own garden he says, "It's a whole new experience. You should try it!"

After the Buffalo Marathon (which turned into a half marathon due to my knee debacle), I had to dial my mileage WAY back and start from the beginning to avoid the runners knee issues that had been plaguing me.
Today it was time for my 12 mile run and I was really looking forward to it. My husband and I took his bike and went to a local bike trail where I could run while he rode with me.
Before we left, I had a banana because I needed something to eat quickly before getting started. I don't need anything before my shorter runs, but I run out of steam quickly if I don't eat before my long ones. I also packed up a cooler with some water and cantaloupe for after our run/ride. I'm always trying to find food combinations that work well with my long runs, and I was happy to find out that these definitely were.
It was a beautiful sunny day – not super cool, but definitely not as gross as it has been lately. The trail was packed! There were tons of people out riding, walking, and running. Dogs aren't allowed on the trail, but if they were, I'm sure we would have seen a bunch!
I was super glad I did my run on this trail. Since I'm running the ADK marathon in September, I need to get used to hills, which I don't usually do. The trail was perfect for this! Lots of hills. Some gradual and long, and others short (but they felt long!) and steep! It was GREAT hill practice. I will definitely have to do that again.
One thing I've learned through all this training is that I am a distance runner, not a speed demon. My typical long run pace is 10:00 to 11:00/mile. I like to run at a pace that feels comfortable and doesn't make me feel like I don't know how much longer I can make it. I like to settle in for the long haul.
So here's the splits…
- Mile 1 – 10:58
- Mile 2 – 10:49
- Mile 3 – 10:56
- Mile 4 – 12:53 (Crazy long hill that felt like it would NEVER end!)
- Mile 5 – 9:34 (My husband disappeared ahead of me and I was trying to find him. Perhaps I should employ this strategy more often!)
- Mile 6 – 10:41
- Mile 7 – 11:23 (Half mile STEEP uphill.)
- Mile 8 – 10:39
- Mile 9 – 10:50
- Mile 10 – 11:18 (LAST uphill!)
- Mile 11 – 10:51
- Mile 12 – 9:37 (I wanted to see what I could do for the last mile. It felt really comfortable! I could have kept going or gone a little faster but I ran out of water.)
I'm so thrilled that my Garmin stuck with me through the whole thing. When I went hiking on the 4th I brought it with me and it started giving me a low battery warning. I forgot to charge it after the hike and remembered in the car on my way up to the bike trail today. I was less than thrilled and was expecting it to shut off at any second, but it didn't! That low battery warning must come on when you have about 3 hours of juice left. Good to know! I came home and charged it all back up, so CRISIS AVERTED!
I hope you had an excellent weekend!

Redistricting reform legislation merits at least a fair hearing
In Texas, it seems to happen every time. When it comes to redistricting — the redrawing of representative districts after each ten-year census — the Texas Legislature has gotten it wrong over and over again. The districts end up looking vaguely reptilian, squiggling across the map of Texas, with lines drawn in any way mathematically possible to obtain political advantage. This usually leads to protracted and legitimate contests over constitutionality in the federal courts; the last two redistricting attempts, in 2011 and 2013, are still being disputed in federal court.
A Texas district-drawing process controlled by partisan elected officials, and often employing a strategy of intentional discrimination of minority voters, has not only perpetuated racial discrimination, but also diminished real electoral competition. It has increasingly encouraged representatives in electorally safe districts to only pursue the desires of extreme partisans. These gerrymandered districts attack the heart of our system of representative government and undermine the legitimacy of our democracy.
Acknowledging the conflicts of interest in the traditional redistricting process and the harmful effects of gerrymandering, a number of states and localities have sought fundamental reform by reducing the direct involvement of politicians. They have turned the process over to independent citizen redistricting commissions.
With members chosen to be truly independent and not controlled by any one party, citizen redistricting commissions have reduced partisan polarization and increased electoral competition. They have been credited with enhancing representation and competitiveness, while improving the fit between legislative outcomes and the desires of voters — all without compromising the protection of minority rights.
A number of redistricting reform proposals have been filed in the Texas House (House Joint Resolutions 32, 74 and 118). Although the proposals vary slightly, they each would create independent commissions that are insulated from domination by a particular political party and could help achieve a more open and competitive electoral process. Unfortunately, these proposals are all still pending before the House Committee on Redistricting. Thus far, its chairperson, Rep. Cindy Burkett, a Sunnyvale Republican whose district includes much of the eastern part of the DFW Metro area, has failed to even give these proposed resolutions a hearing.
Significant redistricting reform proposals merit the Legislature's attention:
• Across party lines, voters disapprove of gerrymandering. A 2013 Harris poll found that 7 in ten Americans believed that the practice of "drawing district lines so politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around" is fundamentally unfair.
• Technology has made it possible to gerrymander with surgical precision, resulting in districts where elections are decided in low-turnout primaries dominated by extremely partisan interests. Ordinary voters are left feeling their votes do not matter, and it has become easier to draw lines that disfavor minority representation.
• Any political party can become victim to partisan gerrymandering as political winds change. Both major political parties have been victims and perpetrators of partisan redistricting.
• In 2013, the city of Austin created the Austin Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission that successfully drew new city council district boundaries, working to ensure the districts were geographically contiguous and compact, minimizing the impact on distinct neighborhoods or communities of interest, and using existing election precinct and geographically identifiable boundaries.
• Citing the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Supreme Court has approved redistricting commissions as "advancing the prospect that Members of Congress will in fact be 'chosen... By the People of the several states.'"
Our representative democracy depends on protecting the principle of "one person, one vote." Leaving redistricting to the often-partisan Texas Legislature has resulted in unfairly drawn districts under both major political parties. Chairman Burkett, the Texas House Committee on Redistricting and indeed the entire Legislature should give due consideration to all aspects of this important public issue.

On November 10, 2010, our company held a signing ceremony with Huinan Hi-tech Industrial Park of Zhongkai Hi-tech District, Huizhou. Thus, the KTC Flat Panel Display Project officially settled down in Huizhou. This ceremony drew high attention from leaders of Huizhou, and many of them were present at the signing ceremony, including Zhang Ying (Standing Member of Huizhou Municipal Committee of the CPC and First Deputy Mayor of Huizhou), Lian Weiguang (Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government), Zhong Yi'er (Secretary of Zhongkai Hi-tech District Committee), Lu Weihang (Standing Member of the District Committee and Executive Deputy Director of the Management Committee), Xie Yuanqu (Standing Member of the District Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee), Zhou Zhangyu (Deputy Director of the Management Committee and Deputy Chief of the Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology), etc..
(Zhang Ying, the First Deputy Mayor, and Ling Bin, the Chairman of the Board, talked about the project.)
Zhong Yi'er, Secretary of Zhongkai Hi-tech District Committee, said at the ceremony that: the entry of KTC was beneficial for the economic development of the Hi-tech District; the signing between the two parties was just a starting point of their cooperation; the Hi-tech District Committee and the Management Committee, on the basis of good faith, would make all-out efforts to create a good investment environment for KTC, to provide excellent and efficient services and to offer substantial support in terms of investment policies.
KTC will make investments in Huizhou to construct a high-efficiency and high-automation display terminal product line which occupies an area of 200,000m2 with an annual production capacity of 8,000,000 sets. It is planned that mass production will have been achieved by the end of 2012. After that, the manufacturing focus of the company will be transferred to Huizhou which boasts obvious advantages in manufacturing, thus to further improve the core competence and band influence of our company in the field of flat panel display and to build up the world-class ODM brand in the display terminal field.
(Ling Bin, the Chairman of the Board, and Luo Zhicheng, the Deputy Secretary of Committee for Zhongkai High-tech Industrial Zone, signed a contract.)
(City leaders held a celebration party after the signing ceremony.)

Historic Spanish Point's Archaeology Lecture Series is back! Join us on Saturday, December 8th from 1:00-3:00pm for a special presentation from Dr. Uzi Baram of New College of Florida.
The time to warn about climate change is over. New weather patterns, larger storms, and rising sea levels are challenging communities and transforming conventional thinking. Archaeologists have offered the long-term perspective on human adaptation, and maladaptations to environmental changes; more recently archaeologists are contributing insights for the present generation to envision our possible futures. This presentation will offer examples of, and lessons for, community resilience in the Anthropocene to rising sea levels. The slide-illustrated lecture will be global in scope, but with one of the most endangered places for rising sea levels being Florida, we will focus on insights from local archaeology.
Tickets: $5 for Historic Spanish Point Members ($10 for future Members). Get your tickets here.
Interested in attending the full lecture series? Get full details at the ticketing link below.

As organizations see the economic value of cloud-based computing, they will likely choose to move servers and systems organically from their on-premise data centers into cloud environments. This creates a need to enable a hybrid environment supporting bidirectionally between communication between cloud and on premise resources.
A Hybrid Example Using IoT
For example, Mariner has a customer whose business model is rooted in IoT (Internet of Things). They monitor the sensors of critical devices to provide predictive maintenance services. The sensors, located on the shop floors of our customer's customers, stream data to local servers where it is subsequently streamed to collector servers in Microsoft's Azure cloud. Another requirement is to support changes in firmware on their customers' devices. In this situation, new firmware is streamed from Azure to the on-premise data collection devices to optimize their behavior based upon environmental or equipment conditions or to implement improvements in the devices. We needed to be able to connect the on-premise remote servers securely to our Azure Cloud virtual machines to permit safe, secure and scalable flow of information in both directions.
There are three methods of providing connections between on-premise and cloud networks:
- Secure Site-to-Site VPN
- Secure Point-to-Site VPN
- Private Site-to-Site
(See the illustration below and also Ganesh Srinivasan's excellent blog post "ExpressRoute or Virtual Network VPN – What's right for me?"). We chose to use Microsoft Azure's Point-to-Site VPN since it is the appropriate way to connect a subset of on-premise servers to Azure for our business problem.

Check out our own Angelia Thompkins's blog post "Azure Point to Site VPN with SQL Server and FileTables" where Angelia will walk you step by step through the process of creating this secure method of on-premise to Azure connectivity.

EXP: Real Trailers - Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn
Real Trailers - Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn
What the trailer for Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn SHOULD say.
... so the trailer should say that ScrewAttack doesn't pay attention to anything but promo videos? o O;
The only video that had the magitech armor in it was a promo video, not a trailer.
Screw Attack, making awful tasteless videos appealing to pre-teen boys since .... forever! Serving us the same old crap but ... with even more crap! Slap a self-proclaimed comedian on the cover and you have yet another unfunny video!
In all seriousness though, why does every game have to break the mold? GW2 destroyed its unique prequal and made a WoW clone with Rift features and no end-game and you people lapped it up. oh well, its dead PvE and half dead SPvP speak volumes.
MMO gamers don't even know what they want anymore.
FFXIV is actually shaping up really nicely, and yes it caters to Final Fantasy fans, how dare they!
I am not negative against the realm reborn. Yes the first was a bit yeah but it is done. Now it looks pretty decent and once we see actual gameplay elements in effect/use and get some hands on with the 2.0 things become clear.
Lets just say I have Good Hope that it will be quite a bit better then it was before and that it will be pretty decent.
It seems to me that we, as gamers who have paid for, played, and then regretted paying for terrible games, should be praising Square Enix for recognizing that the game they originally released was not very good. The fact that they have scrapped the original and are re-releasing the game with numerous enhancements and promised bonuses to those that played the original should be something we laud rather than criticize.
I'm looking forward to this. We've been playing the beta and we've already ordered two copies for when it's released. Yes, it's a bit generic, but it's a MMORPG.
I like how it really plays up the crystal theme. I like how it has so many little easter eggs and nostalgia inducing points. I like the horribly punny quest titles.
I like how visually stunning the game is. I like that it's now doing its best to cater to as wide an audience as possible while still staying true to Final Fantasy basic while incorporating some of the best features of WoW and Guild Wars and it's predecessor FFXI and so many other well loved games.
But go ahead with the cheap shots, the less people playing the less waiting I have to do for respawns.
What a cheap shot at FFXIV Realm Reborn and Square Enix. You guys must be just as Cheap or just as Shallow.
I have faith that A Realm Reborn will be good. Because if it isn't, Square Enix will lose even more money.
And Square Enix doesn't like losing money. Nor do they like the idea of one of their numbered titles being considered a failure. In fact that's why I think they keep making Final Fantasy XIII games. Because after the reception XIII got, they made XIII-2 tailor made to every single complaint people had about the game.
Square aren't like SEGA is with Sonic the Hedgehog. Where, when a blunder like Sonic 2006, they don't even attempt to fix the game and recoup their assets. They just abandon the game and pretend it never existed. Square seem to care about keeping the Final Fantasy brand something consistent. Like little perfect packages. Unfortunately, Square haven't been very good at doing that in recent year. But you can tell they're not content to let a single one of their numbered Final Fantasy games be a complete failure.
They're going to work on this game until it is really polished and good. Hopefully, it'll be that way out of the box with A Realm Reborn. I'm sure they've been trying.
Hence why I have good hope they have made some not as great games that is to say to be fair. But yeah they try to make good games and they do improve if there is something like FF XIII happening.
FF XIII isn't the worst Final Fantasy Game. It just did change to much to quick. And Final Fantasy XIII-2, though not perfect no, did fix a few issues and made it quite nice indeed.
So yes Square can fix this.. and make something pretty neat. We just have to give them the chance. So yeah we have to see, what I like to see soon is actual gameplay.. actually how things work! And maybe even a small side quest to show what the game is doing there. Throw is a nice boss fight at the end of the video and it will be awesome.

Talk about Existential Ennui. I've certainly been having a case of that lately. This whole not drinking thing is just boring (though I admit I cheated a bit this past Sunday). I'm starting to get really restless. Oh well.
So where were we? Oh, yes! Breaking down the psyche personas.
Maladaptive Coping Modes. There are 3 of them; The Compliant Surrenderer, The Detached Protector, and The Overcompensator. Logically they correspond directly to the 3 Maladaptive Coping Styles: Surrender, Avoidance, and Overcompensating.
These modes develop early on in a child/adolescents life as an attempt to adapt to living in a harmful environment where emotional needs aren't met. The function of the Compliant Surrenderer is to avoid further mistreatment. The f unction of the other two modes, the Detached Protector and the Overcompensator, is to escape the upsetting emotions generated when a schema mode is triggered. They may be protective and adaptive at the time, but they become maladaptive when they continue on into adult life where they are no longer appropriate or necessary.
The Compliant Surrenderer
The Compliant Surrenderer submits to the schema as a coping style. Patients in this mode appear passive and dependent. They do whatever the therapist (and others) want them to do. Individuals in the Compliant Surrenderer mode experience themselves as helpless in the face of a more powerful figure. They feel they have no choice but to try to please this person to avoid conflict. They are obedient, perhaps allowing others to abuse them, neglect them, control them, or devalue them in order to preserve the connection or avoid retaliation.
In most things I am not one that surrenders easily. I've had periods of time when I would though. Like when things were most abusive with Evil-Ex I would fall to compliance. I would do everything in my power to try to maintain the tenuous stability and good times that we had. I'm not naturally obedient though and I would fight my own decisions to be this way. I knew what was happening was wrong, but I was terrified of losing what I had. I was in constant conflict when I let him have control over my life. I would surrender to the mistreatment to avoid outright abuse and then become furious that I had no control over how I felt in the face of how I knew I was being treated. It was like riding a favorite rollercoaster knowing the rails were out of order. I let myself be lead onto it, but I knew I'd have to jump off at the last possible second in order to save myself.
Detached Protector
The Detached Protector uses schema avoidance as a coping style. The coping style is one of psychological withdrawal. Individuals in the Detached Protector mode detach from other people and shut off their emotions in order to protect themselves from the pain of being vulnerable. The mode is like a protective armor or wall, with the more vulnerable modes hiding inside. In the Detached Protector mode, patients may feel numb or empty. They may adopt a cynical or aloof stance to avoid investing emotionally in people or activities. Behavioral examples include social withdrawal, excessive self-reliance, addictive self-soothing, fantasizing, compulsive distraction, an stimulation-seeking.
The Detached Protector mode is problematic for many PD patients, but especially for those with BPD, and is often the most difficult to change. This is a mode that was developed to distance themselves from a traumatic environment that created too much suffering to deal with, to detach and not to feel. As these children matured into adults and entered a less hostile or depriving world, it would b have been adaptive to let go of the Detached Protector and become open to the world and their own emotions again. But these people have become so accustomed to being in the Detached Protector mode that it is automatic, and they no longer know how to get out of it. Their refuge has become their prison.
This, is where I spend most of my time. For me though, it never stopped being an adaptive mode. Instead of finding healthier relationships as I got older I found more and more destructive ones. I was in an emotionally traumatic relationship from the time I was 16 until my early 20's. Then of course, after I graduated from college I left my family and support base and moved in with Evil-Ex in my mid-20's. Not until maybe a year or two ago have I been in a place to get away from this kind of thing (and even that sort of depends on how you view my relationship with Friend).
The whole point of this mode is to cut off emotional needs, disconnect from others, and behave in a way that avoids punishment. A Borderline in Detached Protector mode usually appears quite normal. They do everything they're supposed to do and act appropriately. They don't act out or lose control of their emotions. The problem is, they may be acting 'right', but it's because they are utterly cut off from their own needs and feelings. Instead of being true to themselves they're sort of going through the motions of what they think is expected of them to gain the approval, or not receive disapproval, from those around them. Signs and symptoms include depersonalization, emptiness, boredom, substance abuse, bingeing, self-mutilation, psychosomatic complaints, "blankness", and robot-like compliance.
Hah! This sounds an awful lot like the existential ennui that I've been feeling lately. I haven't had anything to shake me up, I've been purposefully avoiding anything that can shake me up, but it's left me feeling hollow. I felt like this for years at University. I avoided emotional attachments and hid inside my world of self-protection. Part of why I fell so hard for Evil-Ex was because he was able to bring me out of this. His lies and his language opened me up to a world of light and laughter. Everything we did awakened a sense that we were at the pinnacle of a grandiose, glamorous world making me more than happy to participate in the manipulative seductions we played out. He brought me out of the emptiness and boredom. Something no one else had been able to do for years. Then of course, when we finally moved in together, when I was finally away from my comfort zone and support, things changed. Quickly, and drastically.
Overcompensators use schema overcompensation as a coping style. They act as though the opposite of the schema were true. For example if they feel defective, they try to appear perfect and superior to others. If they feel guilty, they blame others. If they feel dominated, they bully others. If they feel used, they move to exploit others. If they feel inferior, they seek to impress others with their status or accomplishments. Some overcompensators are passive-aggressive. They appear overtly compliant while secretly getting revenge, or they rebel covertly through procrastination, backstabbing, complaining, or nonperformance. Other cover compensators are obsessive. They maintain strict order, tight self-control, or high levels of predictability through planning, excessive adherence to routines, or undue caution.
This is another mode I see clearly in myself, though it's changed a lot over the years. I definitely feel defective and try to appear perfect. I refuse to let people see me upset, I maintain my composure, I never let people see my depression, I only talk about neutral things or those that put me in an optimal light. When I was younger I felt controlled by my father so I would control and bully my sister. At the end of high school when I shed all aspects of my life that he influenced this melted away and my sister and I bonded very strongly. At University I held extremely rigid study schedules and precisely monitored every calorie I consumed. I actually miss my obsessive control. I think this is one aspect I definitely attribute to my meds helping with. Almost all of the meds I've been on have lessened my obsessive sense of strict order and super tight self-control. I'm not as worried about my world falling apart if one hair is out of place or one pound is off on the scale, though I still beat myself up for it to an extent.

On annuals
Zinnia, calendula, marigold and nasturtium
Every year, I plant rows of annual flower seeds. They get to be about 4" tall and then I scatter them willy-nilly all around the vegetable and perennial gardens. Usually, they don't do much all spring and summer: they kind of limp along, and, especially when interplanted with the veggies, I wonder "why did I devote the space to these wimpy things?" Well, it is because in late summer and all fall these things go NUTS.
Color and pollinator attraction is why they're in the veg gardens. In the perennial gardens, they act much like spring tulips and daffodils do: they tide things over as the clumps of green perennial leaves just sit there, flowerless. It's a good way to keep visual interest going, as your eye flits from color blotch to color blotch.
And then interesting things do happen. Look at what this calendula is doing (normally they're just single dark-eyed daisy-like plants). Isn't that just weird?

Is weepy the new douchebag? Friday night, Observer Night & Day co-editor Merritt Martin and I hauled out to the Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie for the Franz Ferdinand-Death Cab For Cutie show and were surprised to find ourselves in the company of a remarkably large population of frat guys. To our surprise, they didn't at all look annoyed and horny, like they'd been dragged there because their girlfriends think Ben Gibbard is totally cute in that, like, nerd kind of way. The white-hat-wearing dudes were doing the intense head-nodding-mouthing-the-words-and-swaying bit reserved for hardcore fans; there may even have been a teary eye or two among them.

SalesMOJO University offers the researched based online Bite-Sized video courses
We hate PowerPoint; We also hate 8 hours-long training sessions. We never had the patience to sit across to the long training session; therefore we have applied the 80-20 rules to our training courses. In general, most of the training gives only 20% of the new information and 80% of the old Gyan which we already know, so we cut that 80% of the old information and brought it down to 20% to connect it with the new 20% of the information. And hence made our courses Bite-Sized for modern learners.

Greenlands main entrance from the world. A unique place with easy access to plenty of adventures. Experience the amazing Greenlandic Ice Cap, glacier walks, musk ox safari and dogsled in the beautiful landscape.
History & Background
Kangerlussuaq is one of the biggest villages in Greenland with a population around 500 inhabitants. Because of the international airport the place is buzzing with life. Throughout the day many people pass by, arriving from abroad and with the many domestic flights. The International Airport is a former US airbase, which was in operation from 1941 to 1992.
Kangerlussuaq means "the big fjord". It is located at the bottom of the approximately 171 kilometer deep fjord, being the only bigger settlement in Greenland not located on the coast. Historically the place has been used as summer settlement and hunting area for the inuit settlers in the old days.
Nature & Surroundings
If arriving by plane to Kangerlussuaq, you have probably already had a sneak peak of the area - when starting the descent over the vast white of the Greenlandic Ice Cap. Closing in above the soft rounded mountains you get a view of the airport then turning over the fjord, just before approaching the runway. The location is perfect for new adventures with plenty of options in winter and summer.
Kangerlussuaq has an inland climate, which can mean very cold but beautiful winters and warm summers. Kangerlussuaq is located just north of the Arctic Circle, thus you will experience the eternal daylight in the summer, due to the midnight sun.The winter is marked by winter-night, as the sun is low on the horizon. This might sound dark, but the snow-covered landscape combined with the vague daylight gives hours of very beautiful blue light.
Greenland Ice Cap
Only 30 kilometers from the airport lies one of the great wonders of this winterland - the Greenland Ice Cap. A few years ago this place could only be reached in your wildest fantasy. However times have changed and today it is possible for the traveler to experience this amazing place. This vast sheet of ice covers most of Greenland's surface, a quiet place, which just has been there for a thousands of years. However the Ice Cap is very alive in constant change and movement. If you listen carefully you might hear the crackling sounds of the ice moving.
From Kangerlussuaq you can arrange different excursions to the Ice Cap. You can sightseeing by plane, seeing it from above or join a bus excursion taking you close enough so you set your own feet on the Ice Cap.
Musk Ox Safari
Kangerlussuaq is also known as a perfect place to experience Greenlandic wildlife - you can see one of Greenland's biggest land-mammals, the musk ox - called "umimmak" in Greenlandic. The male musk ox can weigh up to 400 kg. They travel in big herds in the area around Kangerlussuaq, it is therefore not necessary to travel far from the airport to see them. There are many options for going on a Musk-ox-safari either by bus or from above with AirZafari. The inner layer of wool on the musk ox is very exclusive, soft and keeps you warm on cold winter days. This exclusive wool is used for clothing and is to be found in many of the shops in Kangerlussuaq.
From Kangerlussuaq you can go on a short or a longer dog sled adventure. There is something very special about experiencing Greenland from the perspective of a dog sled, quietly swishing over the majestic white winter-landscape. Dog sledding goes way back in the Greenlandic history and still is an important means of transport. It is an unique experience of man and dog working together as a team. Before heading out into the landscape you will experience the excitement of the dogs jumping and howling, eager to work. As soon as the break of the sled is up, you will only hear the soaring silence of nature and the paws quietly stomping away on the snow.
Thus Kangerlussuaq provides plenty of opportunities for the adventurous traveler, regardless of it is just in transit or for a longer time.
What to see & what to do in Kangerlussuaq

The Greenlandic ice sheet is the second largest ice sheet in the world. It's 1.730.000km², and the thickness is usually over 2km, and over 3 km at the thickest part. It covers roughly 80% of Greenland's surface and if it were to melt estimates suggest that sea level would rise with approximately 7 metres.
It's an amazing experience to look at the massive ice sheet of Greenland and see/hear how powerful nature can be, and witness the climate change.
There are different ways to see the ice cap as well as from different places. You can either sail with a boat, fly with a helicopter or hike. In Kangerlussuaq, you can drive to the ice sheet.
There are also some ice fjords that are packed with majestic icebergs that have calved from the ice sheet. You can see the ice fjords in different places in Greenland, like in Ilulissat, Nuuk and Uummannaq.
Departure time : 08:00. 09:00, 10:00,
Remember to be at the airport 15 minutes before departure. Go to the desk at Kangerlussuaq Airport.

Honeywell, MKU Tie-Up for Body Armour Products
Subscribe to Hexxcom's RSS feed to get the latest Updates. Thanks for visiting!
India Defence Online, New Delhi – Honeywell of United States has signed a technology transfer tie-up with MKU of India on Spectra Shield® and Gold Shield® materials, which will provide bullet-resistance to body armour for Indian paramilitary and police forces.
A press release issued by Honeywell said that as part of a contract awarded by India's Ministry of Home Affairs to MKU Pvt. Ltd., an India-based supplier of body armour, Honeywell's Gold Shield and Spectra Shield composite materials will be the primary ballistics protection incorporated into 59,000 jackets that each contain two breast plates. The first shipment of armour is likely to be sent to the Central Reserve Police Force by the end of June 2010.
Honeywell's Spectra Shield and Gold Shield composite materials will play a key role in protecting the men and women who serve on India's police forces from the serious threats they face every day, said Phil Wojcik, global leader of Honeywell's Advanced Fibres and Composites business. "Our materials protect law enforcement officials, soldiers and their vehicles in combat zones around the world, and we are proud to bring this technology to India."
"Today's police forces need stronger, lighter armour that can withstand a variety of threats. Together with Honeywell, we are providing the Indian police with the latest generation of products in personal armour technology," said Neeraj Gupta, managing director, MKU.
The Modernisation of India's police forces has been a top priority for the Ministry of Home Affairs. According to Informa, PLC, an international market research firm, the Indian homeland security budget is set to grow by 25 percent in 2010, making it the fastest-growing market for homeland security equipment in the world.
The body armour designed and manufactured by MKU, is intended to protect against a variety of pistol, ground and small arms threats. The soft armour containing Gold Shield can substantially reduce injuries caused by a bullet's impact, but with improved weight, flexibility and comfort. The breast plates containing Spectra Shield offer protection from multiple bullet hits, angle shots and high-velocity rifle rounds, stated the press release.

Where Do You Fit?
Favourite genres can and do hang around for quite a while at times, though, so if an author can get a book written fast enough, they stand a chance of having their book purchased. The problem is, what if you don't want to write the genre everyone apparently wants to read? And the question that arises from that is: But are you cutting your nose off to spite your face?
It's a dilemma many authors face, whether to write what their heart tells them or write what the market/readers want. It's all well and good if you can write "to order", being able to switch styles and voices at the drop of a hat, but not everyone can do that. It's a shame, because lots of writers are kind of left behind when the fads crop up. Conversely, if the fad you love writing the most just happens to be the "in thing", you have a head start.
Lately, I've noticed ménage appears to be a top seller. I have yet to write one—not entirely sure I will either, but you never know—and also the more…hardcore erotic tales. It brought other questions to mind: Is the romance book a dying breed? Or does it just seem the more "out there" books are taking over? (I'd like to say I'm not against "out there" books. Just thinking out loud here.)
Surely not. I don't believe every reader follows the trends and buys whatever they feel everyone else is reading. There are people out there who like romance without all the bells and whistles.
From my blog browsing and reading comments to various posts, I've noticed many people have admitted to skipping the sex so they can get along with the "real" part of the story. So my question is answered, really, in that people don't always want rampant sex in their reading matter. That's good to know, because I don't always want to write books containing rampant sex either. But I have wondered: If people are skipping the sex scenes, are authors just wasting their time writing them?
No. Obviously, not everyone skips. Readers buy the books for the sex scenes too. I think what I'm struggling with at the moment is finding where I "fit" in this ever-growing e-book market. Every book I've written so far in this pen name is different (although two feature the 1800s), and I have no clear genre or voice I "belong" in. I wonder: Do I need to belong in one?
It is possible for an author to write in many voices, many genres, and still have a following, where their readers don't expect a certain book from them, but look forward to whatever has been written. This is where I think I will always be, a bit of this, a bit of that, but I'm interested in other people's opinions on this. Do you, as an author, have a definite style and genre you stick to? And readers, do you do the same, or are you open to trying anything and everything?
2 responses
I hope it's possible to write in different genres and still have a following.My heart goes in different directions, and I hope readers (well, when I'm puslished and HAVE readers..lol) will follow where it leads. You're got a good point, though, food for thought. I have seen some writers who are in to multiple genres, and for some reason, it does become hard to latch on. I'm not sure why. Maybe some writers experiment, just to test a genre. And I feel the reader can sense this,that it IS just testing, and THEN it gets frustrating. But I think if a writer is really led to various genres, the passion will show in the writing, and the readers will adapt.

Hi CZ!Yes, I'm in a dilemma at the moment, so your feedback was very welcome. I'm about to dabble in something I haven't done before and wondered if I would be making a mistake. Oooer!:)

(Pakistan News & Features Services)
Second seed Babar Masih regained the title by toppling unseeded Asif Toba in the all-Punjab final of the Jubilee Insurance Ranking Snooker Championship 2018 at the Karachi Gymkhana on September 17. The Rawalpindi-based Babar overpowered Asif, coming from the city of Toba Tek Singh, 8-5 in the best of 15-frame final with the scores being 44-82, 51-69, 63-48, 114-16, 102-19, 65-20, 9-98, 16-60, 111-8, 26-88, 107-27, 62-35, 52-7.
Babar extended his awesome form to regain the title he had first annexed in 2016. He remained undefeated in the week-long event, contested by 24 top cueists of the country. He notched up a couple of century breaks and missed one narrowly in the final which demonstrated him being on top of his game.
It was Toba, however, who drew the first blood in the final. In fact he managed to double his lead with an impressive break of 63 in the second frame.
Unperturbed at being 0-2 down, Babar entered the third frame in the typically calm manner of his and won it after a close fight. He bamboozled his opponent with a sizzling break of 100 in the fourth frame which restored parity in the game.
Another cracking break of 91 in the very next frame saw him go 3-2 up. Toba was unable to come to terms with the rampaging Babar in the sixth frame either but delivered the goods in the next couple of frame to reduce the deficit to just frame.
Once again Babar retaliated with a big break of 111 which put him back to two-frame lead. Toba refused to give up, chalking up a fluent break of 73 to keep the contest alive. But Babar was not frightened and he didn't let his rival come close again. Starting with a break of 86 in the 11th frame, he also pocketed the next two frames to seal the fate of the match.
The mercurial Babar, who looked a picture of confidence all along, had emerged triumphant in all those matches of his which went to full distance. He wasn't stretched that much in the final though.
Earlier Babar had staged a magnificent comeback to overcome holder Muhammad Asif 6-5 in the all-Punjab semifinal with the frame scores of 55-14, 27-73, 57-61, 8-75, 1-70, 24-76, 59-47, 65-45, 88-31, 80-14, 74-1 while Toba, from Punjab, knocked over Sharjeel of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 43-57, 61-54, 87-13, 28-90, 26-60, 46-66, 80-0, 57-14, 77-49.
Babar became richer by Rs one lac as he collected the winner's trophy alongwith the six-digit purse from Tahir Ahmed, Managing Director, Jubilee General Insurance, who was the chief guest in the prize distribution ceremony which was also telecast live.
Runner-up Toba received a sum of Rs forty thousand with the runner-up trophy while the losing semifinalists, Muhammad Asif and Sharjeel Mahmood, got Rs 20,000 each and Muhammad Majid Ali was awarded a cash prize of Rs 5,000 for registering the highest break (118) of the championship.
Tahir Ahmed, representing the sponsors, expressed the delight at the rising standard of snooker in the country and he hoped that greater efforts will be made in future to attract the teenagers as well as the women to cue sports.
The top officials of the Pakistan Billiards & Snooker Association (PBSA), Munawwar Hussain and Alamgir Anwar Shaikh, and the President of Karachi Gymkhana, Akbar Iqbal Puri, also spoke on the occasion.

It seems that the lure of baking isn't as great as the lure for play. The baking class next door to mine was captivating, sure, and the smells were amazing, yes. But after about an hour, some little heads peeped their heads around the corner to see what I was up to. And then I heard a little voice
"Where are all the other kids?"
I looked up. "They didn't come".
She looked at me briefly. And then we both lipped.
Soon after that, more little tiny bakers popped round the corner and then all of a sudden I had me a Pop-Up Adventure Playground. There was a spaceship going to Spain, and there was a house with a fence. There was also a floatation device, and home made wallpaper. More photos can be found the Pop-Up facebook page, apart from this one:
145/365 - Zan eats cake with a triceratops in a spaceship to Spain.
I type that sentence with utmost sincerity.
The day took a little bit to get going, but it finished off great. And I learned something new: no matter how wonderful cake is, the appeal of play will be greater, and even though I don't get to eat any real cake, there's still opportunity for cake play. :) Cake is awesome, but play is awesomer. It doesn't really get better than that for me :) Hoorah for a great day of play! :)
