Few albums had such a profound impact on the pop rock scene of the new millennium (and my personal music journey) as Acceptance's 2005 debut Phantoms. The band parted ways the next year but that record solidified itself as one of the most memorable of that era, holding up among records from bands that have continued touring until today, such Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday and Yellowcard.
The five members of Acceptane reunited in 2015 to create new music and this Friday, February 24th will finally add sophomore album Colliding By Design to their discography, more than a decade after their debut record's release. I spoke with vocalist Jason Vena about the new EP, the band's widened perspective and why the band is enjoying more freedom and creativity then ever before.
Lyrically, Phantoms explored the relatable, painful, joyous emotions of love, friendship and growing up. "In my life, when we were writing Phantoms, the things I'd experienced weren't as broad," Vena explained. "There was a lot of discussion about love and relationships and I had a close relationship back then that was not a good period for me, so I wrote a lot about that."
On Colliding By Design, the focus has shifted internally, at least partly, examining relationships between the band members. During their first reunion in 2015, it had been almost ten years since Vena had seen his bandmates, yet there was "almost an immediate electricity."
The band channeled that into their new album, which explores, "going out, growing up, learning about life and who you are, and then coming back together." Vena explained, "We broke up as five people who had similar lives and backgrounds and viewpoints. We came back together as five people with very different lives and stories now… we are growing and evolving and our relationships are much stronger."
Vena was raised in a conservative home with "singular versions of the world." His experiences in the last decade have helped him become "more open-minded and accepting", which suggests the band's moniker has truly come full circle.
The moment the stadium-sized guitars ring out in the album's opener "Diagram Of A Simple Man," it feels as if Acceptance never left. Although Vena was the sole member who did not write music during the band's hiatus, the emotional lyrics hit just as hard, as he laments, "As the air is getting colder while the years are turning over / where will I exist?"
The dreamy "We Can Escape" explores the band's widened perspective. "That song is about opening yourself up to people and different experiences," Vena explained. "You have to help make the world a better place by celebrating the uniqueness of every person. I think it's helpful right now with what we are dealing with this in this world."
Musically, the band has matured as well, experimenting with a wider range of influences, such as electronic-based sounds in songs like "When I Was Cursed" and "Haunted." While the group had used sounds in classics like "Contagious" and "Take Cover" that were not traditional pop rock band sounds at the time, "we didn't know how to incorporate those things at that point in our lives… we were so young," Vena said. "Everything was purposeful on this record, everything had to have a meaning behind it musically and had to connect with what we were trying to create with that song."
This new freedom also gives the band the ability to choose when and how they release that music. "We did a traditional lyric video and then a concept lyric video, on our own, in about a week. We just pushed ourselves to get it done, not because a record label told us to. Christian [McAlhaney] did all of "Haunted" on his own with his friend from start to finish in a week." Check out the video below:
With this stellar new album under their belt and excitement mounting, the men of Acceptance are working out how to balance their personal lives with being in a band, touring, and what that will look like in a world that has greatly changed since their inception. "The way people listen to music is so different now, so we want to write more and give more songs and make it about continuing to evolve."
In celebration of the album's official release this Friday, the band will perform at the El Rey Theatre for the first of three stops, promoting the new EP (tickets available here). The band will then tour Australia with their new millennium emo rock classmates Taking Back Sunday. We don't know exactly where Acceptance will head next, but Colliding By Design suggests that they are here to stay, at least for a little while longer.

It's easy to become self-employed. How hard is it to stay self-employed?
When my daughter was born eight years ago, I decided I was going to quit my office job so I could stay home with her. I did, however, still need to make some money to help support our family, so I did what many stay-at-home moms do and started my own business so that I could have the benefit of working from home and still be with my kids. I'd enjoyed photography since getting my first Nikon in high school, and people had always said I had "an eye" for photography. So... with a camera and one or two photography classes under my belt, I opened my own photography business. Here's my story.
In the beginning (once I got over how terrifying it was to say goodbye to a steady paycheck), it was thrilling. I began shooting portraits (for free or really cheap) for friends and family, and everyone was so excited! My portfolio started to look pretty good, and word began to spread. Bit by bit, I started to get paying clients. Granted, I wasn't charging much, but getting paid $50 for a session seemed pretty great to me! I would come home and excitedly spend hours editing and making the pictures look great. And I loved it!
A year or so down the road, I got my first wedding. A friend wanted to pay me $400 to shoot her wedding. An extra $400?! Whoa, that's a nice extra chunk of change! I need to start doing more of these. So I created some $600-800 wedding packages and booked a few more weddings. I love weddings and I'm feeling pretty awesome.
After my first year of weddings, I'm still loving it, but I'm realizing that I'm actually not making all that much money. Take $700 minus $200 for an album. Figure six hours of shooting, one hour driving, and another seven hours editing. Not to mention the equipment I'm now buying, the educational seminars I'm attending to improve, the association dues, the website fees, etc. I need to start charging more. Will people pay? I'm scared.
I increase my prices. By at least double. I don't get much response, and the friends that once booked me constantly don't anymore because I cost too much. I really struggle with this because I want to be able to provide people with affordable photography, but it's not worth it for me to give up evenings and large chunks of my weekends with my family for very little profit (once you do all the math). I decide I need to start marketing, and purchasing ad space in a local wedding magazine seems to be the best option since, with two little kids at home, I don't have much time to invest any any other types of marketing. I spend $3500/year on advertising. This does bring in several new clients! And they don't bat an eye at my doubled prices. They actually pay them! I'm thrilled, not only at the money, but these clients seem to book me because they love my work, not because I'm the best deal. They're so much more fun to work with.
The next couple of years are really good. There's not a whole lot of people doing what I'm doing. My photographic style is pretty unique, and I'm able to increase my prices even more during this time. After another year or two, my average wedding is about $2500-3200. I don't book tons of weddings, but I book enough that I feel like I'm contributing to our household income, and my schedule is still flexible enough that I can enjoy my time as a mom. I'm not really
Things start slowing down. The past year and a half or so, business has sort of slowed. I can't figure it out. But then I start looking around, and my market is completely saturated with photographers. The availability of digital cameras and some great educational tools has made the industry very easy to get into (which I'm thankful for because that's how I got here), and now there are tons of really good photographers out there at all sorts of price points. I'm no longer really standing out among the rest, and there are other really good photographers out there charging less and giving lots more.
Now I must become 90% Marketer and 10% Photographer. And I should've been all along. That's the secret of becoming self-employed that few people tell you when you start. I've seen incredible artists fail because they don't put enough time into the business side of things. By comparison, I've also seen very average artists become incredibly successful because they're really good at business and marketing. Am I willing to make this shift? Am I willing to do the work of becoming business minded and spend the bulk of my time getting the word out about my business now that all they hype has died down?
If you're thinking about starting your own business, I applaud you. There are few things more exciting than following a dream like that, especially when you're passionate about your craft/skill! Think before you start, though. Does the business side of things excite you to? Are you willing to put just as much (if not more) time into studying marketing as you are your passion? If that doesn't sound like something you'd enjoy, there's still options! Find a job working for someone else that allows you to pursue your art, and let them worry about the business side of things!

Stone Wool Duct Board
It is a stone wool board faced with aluminium foil on one side used for external thermal insulation, internal sound insulation of air conditioning and ventilation ducts.
Before the boards are applied, duct surfaces to be used are cleaned to make sure the surface is free from dust and grease. If cold air insulation is going to be applied for the external thermal insulation, definitely the boards faced with aluminium foil should be used against condensation risk. The boards are installed into the pins (5- 6 pins per m2) fastened to the outside of the duct with foiled side facing the exterior. Board joints are sealed with self adhesive aluminium foil tape with great care to ensure that joints are water impermeable.

(For you regular travelers, this will not be a new tip.)
A friend of mine, who hasn't traveled that often before, will soon be traveling for work on a regular basis. She is justifiably a little nervous, so this past weekend I caught her up on all of my tips. One of her questions surprised me, though. She said, "So what's the deal with phones? I heard from someone that you can't use them at all while you're on a plane." I was quick to correct her—you can use your phone on a plane, but not during the actual flight. In fact, that's not true either. You can't use your phone as a phone once the airplane door closes. However, you can use your phone in airplane mode to listen to music, play games, or anything else that doesn't require it to connect to the phone network.
You can use your phone to talk, text, send email, etc, before the airplane door closes. And you can actually turn on your phone once you land, while your plane is taxiing to the gate. So keep it handy! I've noticed that men will often keep their phones in their shirt pockets. I don't usually have a pocket there, so I keep it in the pocket of my purse, or just hang onto it if I know I'll be using it for music during the flight.
Mostly, if you pay attention to the flight attendants, you will be fine. They will tell you when to turn your phone off and when it's okay to use again.
Readers, where do you keep your phones during travel? Do you hope that someday people can talk on their cell phones during flights?

Preparation: A Key to The Resilience Advantage
Over and over this past weekend, we've heard how the Japanese are the most prepared people on the planet in terms of understanding and responding to emergencies such as this weeks earthquake and tsunami. Of course, no amount of preparation could have prepared them for the kind of devastation they saw from their rooftops and hilltops where those who were lucky enough escaped to during the first few minutes when sirens were going off. While the loss of human life will no doubt be staggering, the reality appears to be that many lives were saved because of the preparation and rehearsals that businesses, schools and other institutions engaged in during readiness drills. In the week's following 9/11, I had the Read More

Using IP Cameras in Prisons and Correctional Facilities
Copyright (c) 2009 Wes Fernley
In prison and correctional facilities, it's critical to have a proper video surveillance system. This is why more and more prisons are opting for the IP Camera which works like a normal surveillance camera but with the added benefit of internet access. In a prison or correctional facility, where violence, drug use and officer misconduct are common occurrences, the more advanced the video surveillance, the better.
Benefits of IP Camera Surveillance Equipment
– The ability to record video to a remote PC over the internet
– The ability to be everywhere in the prison, without actually having to be there.
– Prevent prison incidents by being able to spot suspicious activity before it can get any further
– The ability to record on command – intelligent surveillance begins to record only on motion
– Notification on motion detection sent via email, FTP and SMS to prison guards
– Provide visual evidence which can be sent via wireless internet which can be extremely valuable in investigations of prison incidents.
– Maintain order and control and reduce assaults, drug smuggling and other illegal activity
– Remote video monitoring- the ability to view live video from the prison over the Internet from anywhere in the world
– With IP cameras there is no need for a power cable as they work with Power over Ethernet. This means lower installation costs and less wiring for better security and secrecy.
Risks and Resolutions of IP Video Camera Surveillance
– Tampering: many inmates attempt to tamper with video cameras. However, the IP camera comes with a motion detector that will automatically record the moment it detects motion.
– Privacy Protection: many believe that IP cameras take away the privacy of both guards and inmates. However, in most instances, constant IP surveillance is a necessary aspect of prison life for both the security and safety of the inmates and the guards.
– Over Reliance: in some instances, an over reliance on IP cameras and other video equipment can cause laziness. Ensure there is a balance between prison guards and IP cameras. Both are necessary for effective surveillance.
Proper Configuration of IP Cameras
It's important to look at all the different options when it comes to setting up and configuring your security camera system. Keep the following in mind when installing your IP cameras
– There are low risk and high risk areas within all facilities. Make sure you target both.
– Are there drug users and drug smuggling in the facility?
– Are there certain guards or prisoners that are in constant conflict and possible mistreated? If so, set up cameras where this mistreatment usually takes place.
– Where are the violent outbursts usually going on? In the common room? Outside? Having IP cameras installed there can keep track of the culprits and gain the evidence needed. Setup Advice for the IP Camera
– Make sure you position the camera over the prison yard, hallways, stairwells and other areas where inmates may be escorted. Other areas include entrances, exits and independent cell blocks. Do not limit to use dining, recreational and booking areas. The more cameras, the better.

How to boot a Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 processor with uninitialized memory at address zero
Article ID: 103489924
Published date: 24 Jul 2017
Last updated: -
Applies to: Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4
How do I boot a Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 processor with uninitialized memory at address zero?
At Reset, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors always boot from a vector table at address zero.
With uninitialized memory at address zero (for example, unprogrammed Flash or uninitialized RAM), the processor reads a spurious initial Main Stack Pointer value from address zero and a spurious code entry point (Reset vector) from address 0x4, possibly containing an illegal instruction set state specifier (ESPR.T bit) in bit[0].
The processor might lock up immediately or it might execute some spurious opcodes, with lock-up also remaining a possible outcome.
A clean boot-up can be achieved through the actions of a debugger connected to the processor's debug port (assuming that the SoC has implemented Debug features for the processor).
For systems where there is no possibility of damage to the SoC or to the connected systems, the processor can be allowed to exit from Reset, and potentially execute some spurious opcodes, before the debugger takes control.
However, where there is a possibility of damage or undesirable consequences from executing spurious opcodes, the SoC design must provide a suitable method of preventing initial execution, for example by holding the processor's functional reset, SYSRESETn, asserted after the release of the power-on reset, PORESETn.
While the processor is executing or is held in functional reset, the debugger can write to the NVIC to enable Halting Debug (DHCSR.C_DEBUGEN) and can set up a vector catch at reset (DEMCR.VC_CORERESET). The processor can then be halted by the vector catch. If the processor is still held in functional reset, this is achieved simply by releasing the reset. If the processor is not currently held in reset, this can be achieved by halting the processor with the DHCSR.C_HALT bit and then writing the AIRCR.VECTRESET bit.
The processor is now in a Debug Halt state, having fetched the initial Main Stack Pointer, the Reset Vector, and the EPSR.T bit from uninitialized memory.
Note that the method of holding the processor in reset until the debugger has set up the vector catch implies that the debugger then has the ability to subsequently release the SYSRESETn input to the processor. This requires some implementation-defined logic on the SoC to hold SYSRESETn asserted after PORESETn is released, possibly in the reset control logic on the SoC. The debugger must then be able to clear that SYSRESETn assertion, possibly by writing to a memory-mapped register in the system.
The ARMv7-M Architecture specifies that the debugger can access the processor's internal debug registers while the functional reset is asserted. It does not specify whether the external memory system can be accessed in this reset state. In the case of the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors, debugger access to the memory system during functional reset is slightly unusual. Cortex-M3 r2p1 and Cortex-M4 r0p1 processors have the following behavior: the debugger can successfully read from any external address, and can successfully write to any address on the System bus. However, the write data value on the D-Code bus is tied to zero in this state, so the debugger can write to any address in the Code space but only with a write data value of zero.
After the processor is halted at the vector catch on reset, with invalid values in the main Stack Pointer and Program Counter, the correct and robust procedure from this point is to initialize at least a minimal vector table at address zero. The minimal vector table requires at least the first four entries to be valid. These entries are the initial Main Stack Pointer, and vectors (all with bit[0] = 1) for the Reset, NMI, and Hard Fault handler entry points, because these exceptions cannot be inhibited and a Reset will always cause the vector table offset to revert to address 0x0. It is also necessary to download an executable code image to a suitable address in a writable and executable memory region, and then to restart operation by issuing a further self-reset (VECTRESET) so that the boot procedure starts again, but this time from the now populated vector table at address 0x0.
A makeshift alternative method exists for simple cases where writing to memory at address zero is inconvenient (for example, requiring Flash erase and reprogramming). An example of this might be a test case where it is not necessary to fully support the continuation of normal execution after the test. This alternative allows the debugger to use the DCRSR and DCRDR functions to fully modify the values already fetched from addresses 0x0 and 0x4, while the processor is halted in debug state. This requires:
The Main Stack Pointer to be written with a suitable 'top of stack' address in RAM
The DebugReturnAddress (basically the PC) to be written with the true address of the code entry point.
The xPSR to be written with 0x01000000 (setting the EPSR.T bit).
The executable test code to be downloaded into a suitable (writable and executable) memory region as pointed to by that DebugReturnAddress.
Note that for the makeshift method described above, there remains no valid vector table at address zero. The debugger or the code image can program the VTOR to point to a valid vector table, for example located in the downloaded code image itself, but if another reset occurs the reboot will revert to the (non-existent) vector table at address 0x0.
No workaround.
No example.

SeedSava is a simple but revolutionary new product, designed and manufactured in the UK, based on many years of vegetable growing experience, to help any gardener to sow seeds neatly, economically and efficiently.
The device comes in two parts: a base which sits along the prepared seed drill, and a hopper, which clips into and slides gently a short way along the base.
When the holes in the hopper align with the holes in the base, the seeds drop through on to the ground in the desired position.
Once the required colour hopper has been positioned into the base, put a small number of seeds in the hopper. Check the holes are closed over the base and then tip or jiggle the seeds down the length of the hopper until you have a seed in every hole.
Place on the lid, this will assist with returning any unused seed into the packet and can be used to reduce the risk of any light seeds blowing away in windy conditions.
Then place the Seedsava on the soil where you want to sow, and slide the hopper gently until the holes on the hopper line up with the holes in the base, this will allow the seeds to discharge onto the ground.
Make sure the seeds are over the holes while the hopper and base are in the closed position. Then when you want to sow, push the hopper gently until the holes line up and the seeds will discharge on to the ground.
Then simply move the device along the row by its own length and repeat until you have sown all the seeds you want. Don't forget to label the row!
Using the SeedSava means you will reduce the amount of seed you sow, and therefore fewer seedlings will grow – and you will have less thinning to do. Less thinning means less disturbance to the roots of the seedlings you want to keep, and less chance of disease getting in through the loosened soil.
You will also waste less seed and have more left over for next year!

The guys at www.Writetodone.com sent me the image above and requested I come up with a mini-story of not more than 350 words. Here is my attempt, I hope I did fine.
"I knew that pigeon was a bad idea," grumbled Rasta when the guard's footsteps disappeared down the hallway.
"Crashing straight into Bokono's office window! That electrical engineer cousin of yours is as much of a genius as I am the king of Timbuktu, faggot!" Blackie cursed.
Nearly all Cell D inmates crowded over Jamal, and for a moment my cousin thought they would lynch him. Oduor actually tried to slap him but Ngomongo, cell D's karani and de facto supremo, gave him a look they all recognised and dreaded. It was rumoured around Kamiti Maximum Prison that Jamal was Ngomongo's bitch.
A bedbug had crept up Jamal's striped shorts and was now launching an assault where the sun doesn't shine. He chose to ignore it. Right now he had bigger problems to worry about.
An hour before Jamal was cell D's hero. They had just completed the day's quota of hard labour, and were idling outside the cells shooting shit as they took supper. They were all on the lookout for a bird that would fly over the dining area and drop a few more tools behind the store room. They had been doing this for a week now, so far I'd sent them a cellphone and a sizeable motley of miniature digging tools. The bird I had built looked in every bit like a real pigeon, and the guards suspected nothing. Until today when I crashed it straight into Bokono's office, and members of Cell D knew their goose was cooked.
The door creaked and everyone scrambled to their mattresses. The guards frogmarched Ngomongo and Jamal to Bokono's office.
"Pwagu kapata pwaguzi!" The Chief Warden growled as the duo entered his office. On the table stood my pigeon, now stripped naked of its plastic feathers to showcase a handiwork of wires, magnets and motors. Its blue eyes glared wide as though it was anticipating the terror that was just about to occur.
Ngomongo managed a tight-lipped smile as Bokono bent over the birdie and continued dismantling it with a screw driver. Everything was going according to plan.
The two prisoners held their breaths as he proceeded to cut the blue wire…

Let's face it, you never actually plan to get into an accident—whether a minor fender-bender or major collision where you'll need extensive auto body work done. This is not a business where you're driving down a street and say, "Oh geez, I think I'll get my front end repaired now. Oh, there's an auto body shop. Let's stop and see if they'll fix it!"
The auto body repair business is one that most people don't want to use unless they have to. And most times when this service is needed, their jobs and families depend on the shop getting the repair work done in a efficient and timely manner. This can be due to insurance constraints such as only paying for a limited number of car rental days, limited coverage due to the value of the car and a multitude of other factors.
1. Ask for Referrals—Ask your friends and family to see who they use is a good place to start. Also looking online and posting a question on Facebook to your friends there is another great way to see who's out there, who's good and who's not.
2. Check Yelp and Google Reviews— This is very easy to do. In your local area, simply type in "body shops near me" and all the body shops in your area will be listed. Click on each of them and read their reviews. If you read enough of them, you'll get a real feel for how good they are with service, the efficiency of their shop and how timely they get work done. They can't control the reviews that people put up so you're going to know right away if they're in the running to be considered.
3. Stop By The Auto Body Shop—This is another good way to tell if you'll feel comfortable leaving your car in their hands. Notice how you're treated, the condition of the shop and whether it's clean and well-maintained. Also, talk to the staff and see how knowledgeable they are about your particular repair. Ask them about their process and a timeline for getting the job done.
4. Ask About Their Certifications—Their technicians should be qualified to do the repairs and their are certifications such as I-CAR and ASE that certify technicians in their specialties. Seeing any auto body shop's technicians having these certifications is a great way to ensure trust and professionalism in getting your car repaired correctly.
5. Do They Offer a Warranty?– Every good auto body shop will offer a great warranty on parts or service. This shows that they stand behind their work and will back it up in the event that something goes wrong.
These five things can help you make an educated and informed decision about your car's repairs.
* At Orlando Auto Body we strive to fix your car in a timely and efficient manner. We always attempt to use original manufacturer equipment (OME) parts so that we can go beyond repairing your car. We prefer to restore your car to it's original condition wherever possible by using the same parts the manufacturer used to build it instead of using used or after-market parts.

After an excruciating summer, Real Madrid bought the Premier League player of the year Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for a world-record fee of £85.3 million. Today, Bale made his debut against Villarreal, who surprisingly were kind of thumping Madrid for much of the first half and took a 1-0 lead 21 minutes in.
But seven minutes before the break, Madrid defender Daniel Carvajal got to Villarreal's endline and played a ball across the face of goal. Bale was able to get inside of his defender, beat everyone to the ball, and tap home the easy finish.
Bale demanded such a large fee because in addition to scoring tons of great goals last year for Spurs, he scored a lot of important ones. His goal shifted momentum into Madrid's favor somewhat, and in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored to put their side ahead, 2-1. They led until Mexican winger Giovani dos Santos just scored to level the score with about 20 minutes to play.
Bale was subbed off for Ángel di María in the 62nd minute.

About NNELS
The National Network for Equitable Library Service, or NNELS, is an online public library which provides published books in accessible formats for Canadians with print disabilities.
Their goal is for patrons with perceptual disabilities to have access to the same types of books and information available in any public library, but in digital formats which are accessible for their needs. NNELS generally collects popular and recent material with a particular focus on Canadian literature. Additions to the constantly-growing NNELS collection are driven by patron requests and partner selections, as well as contributions including from publishers and alternate format producers.
The NNELS collection primarily holds English language titles but NNELS accepts requests in other languages, especially French. NNELS acquires and produces titles in numerous digital formats, including DAISY, MP3, PDF, E-text, and EPUB. When requesting a title, a patron may request it be produced in a particular format which is accessible to them. If the requested title and format is already commercially available elsewhere, NNELS may direct the patron's library to purchase it; otherwise, they will produce the title and make it available on the NNELS website.
Patrons with perceptual disabilities in Peace Library System libraries may request and borrow titles from NNELS as long as the patron code in their patron account in Polaris is set to "Print Disabled".

My car overheats when its running. If my car is idling it doesn't overheat. To keep the car cooled down I have to run my heater all the way all the time. I've never seen steam or heard noises coming from the engine. I also don't have any air conditioning when I run the a.c.
My car has 185765 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Hi - there are a couple of possibilities for your overheating situation. The thermostat may not be opening properly, preventing hot water from circulating to and cooling in the radiator. The water pump may be failing and can't circulate enough hot water through the radiator. If the head gasket on the engine has failed, combustion gases from one or more cylinders "superheat" engine coolant very quickly.
If the coolant level is low, and there are air pockets in the engine, the coolant is literally "boiled away" inside the engine, creating far higher temperatures than a "full of coolant" engine. I would recommend having your car inspected by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, to determine why the car is overheating.

It seemed like everything was happening in slow motion.
The way she fixed her dress. Gently carried the bouquet. Steadily secured her hair behind her ear. Slowly raised and lowered her eyelashes. Assured smiles in between each action.
Her simple movements and elegant gestures were becoming the picture-perfect poses. Spreading smile across my face as I clicked through. And of course, spreading a continuous smile on her soul-mate's face.
Shaikha & Hazeem's intimate engagement party was celebrated at private villa in Sharjah. The decorations were done by The Purple Chair. Shaikha wore a stunning baby-pink gown by Hamda al Fahim, Dior shoes, and carried a bouquet by Moz Flowers.
Dearest Shaikha & Hazeem,
Thank you for your trust in myself and my work ❤ I can't thank you & your families enough for the very warm welcome. May the Almighty showers you both with His utmost attention, mercy, care, blessings & bounties. Can't wait to see the all-things-amazingggg you two are planning for your big day inshaAllah *happy dance*.

I watched her intently as I dressed in the deepened shadows of the room. It seemed as if the moonlight streaming through the half-drawn blinds risked the tranquil darkness simply to caress her pale and silken skin. She glowed there, in the dark and the light. She was beautiful.
Despite the shower, the scent of her still lingered on my flesh. It was as if I had been steeped in the exotic perfume of her sweat and sex and first time blood. It was a musky, almost smoky smell, clean and sweet and beyond intoxicating. I inhaled her deeply, savoring the aroma that I knew would fade all too soon.
I recalled the sound of the leather cinching and squealing as it twisted nervously around graceful wrists that had never felt its bite before. I watched as she writhed and struggled reflexively against the restraints, sweat glistening in droplets like morning dew on her skin. Growing ever more excited at her protestations, I saw the tension in the delicate line of her jaw build as she worked her tongue furiously against the gag that held her in silence. I waited patiently, yet with great anticipation for the inevitable moment where the body, beyond the ability to struggle any longer, embraces the helplessness that it was, before this night, unaccustomed to. That golden moment of acceptance that there is absolutely nothing that can be done that I do not allow. The realization that I and I alone am the gateway to her freedom is a release in and of itself; a veritable orgasm of the mind. These additional protracted moments filled with this almost unbearable tension are worth it for that single one. Soon, her body quiets and as the tears shine and fall from the corners of her eyes, I begin.
Taking up the dagger from its place at the bedside, I slide the flat of the blade across her trembling body slowly. She flinched at the coldness of the metal on her flushed and heated skin. I could feel her tighten when I cut her softly rounded breasts free from the scandal of black lace that kept them hidden from me. They rose and fell rhythmically with each breath that escaped her in excited pants. Slowly, slowly, I worked the blade down between them, tracing down the line of her stomach, across the slope of her hips and to the very edges of her feminine secret, revealed as its dainty concealment fell away in a flash of the blade and a flick of my wrist.
Her nakedness was glory. Perfectly formed, perfectly made. Her long black hair framed her face like a dark halo, and her pale skin was paler still clad only in the shadows and the moonlight. She was shaved clean, revealing smooth skin where silky hair is normally found. Bound and gagged and completely open to me, she radiated like a light. She was light. She was the sun and the day garbed in the form of this glorious woman and I…I was posing as the night.
I do not recall with any clarity all of the moments that passed between us this night. I could not say for certainty the number times her eyes begged for her freedom, though her body yielded to me with each thrust and motion, nor could I count all the tears that she shed each time her body tensed and released. It was an ecstasy. Though little time had passed between that most intimate of acts and my musings on it now, the time with her now seems dim and distant. The memory, along with her scent, was fading all too soon.
I do remember, though, that moment of penetration. That, it seems, I always remember. That invasion of her, of them…first violent and resisted violently, then, with each thrust that repeats and follows, the body yields, the body accepts and the body relinquishes. The cycle of life played out in the span of single night. What could there be that would ever compare to this? Life and death distilled in potency by the compression of time and taken in one draught in a single moment. How could one not become a slave to this addiction?
Taking great care to wipe the blade that revealed her and released her clean of the blood that now sheathed it, I kissed her, and she lay there motionless, as oblivious to my tenderness as I was to the angry marks left in cooling flesh by the bite of the blade. I wanted to remember her in perfection, as I had all of the others.
Were it not for the vacant eyes that plead silently to the ceiling that she could no longer see, one would never know that the shadow pooled beneath her was the very life that she was full of mere hours before. One would never imagine that the bliss in which she now slumbered would be one that she would never again wake from.
Those devoid of any inkling of understanding have slandered me a "serial killer". I am admittedly frustrated at their collective lack of imagination. This art is not about death. Death is incomplete and meaningless without life. It is the completion of a circle, the ending of that which has begun. It is a ritual that takes place every moment of our lives. The most any of us can affect is the momentum of the wheel as it spins.
With the click of the door as it closes behind me, she is forgotten. Already I can feel the emptiness, the incompleteness begin to grow within. It will not be long before I shall present another perfect beauty with the gift of her first time. Not long before I seek out another glorious creature that shall embody the day.
It will not be long before I am once again posing as the night.

I am not an alumnus of Notre Dame University but I am Roman Catholic and I have many extended family members who did get their undergraduate and graduate degrees there. My alma mater (Boston University) did not have much of a football team (I don't even think they have one anymore). Growing up, I was not very interested in watching sports on TV, however, in my 30s my cousin who went to Notre Dame got me into watching the games and gave me a bit of a window into its glorious past. Over the years I have grown attached to the team as the athletic representative of my faith tradition and faithfully root for them whenever they play.
Notre Dame is widely held to be among the most successful college football teams in history. It holds the distinction of having the highest winning percentage in all of college football. The team has also won 13 national championships according to NCAA reckoning. Arguably Notre Dame holds more national championships than any other team in the history of college football (with the possible exception of Alabama). The last national championship won by Notre Dame was in 1988 under coach Lou Holtz.
All this is to say that Notre Dame (without question) can lay claim to a glorious past. In recent years on several occasions Notre Dame seemed to be within striking distance of reclaiming this glory by winning another national championship. However, the team never seems to be able to quite get there. Last Sunday night I sat down to watch Notre Dame's first game of the Fall 2016 season against a team they should have beaten, Texas. The game ended in defeat with a double overtime score of 50 to 47. Notre Dame's chances to win a national championship this year (barring a host of unlikely defeats by higher ranked teams) seem highly unlikely.
The emperor Constantine the Great founded the city of Constantinople in the year 330 AD on the site of the Greek settlement known as Byzantium. This very strategic site commanded numerous land and sea trade routes and remained impregnable for nearly 1,000 years. The defensibility of the city owed to the fact that it was surrounded by water on three sides and by enormous land walls to the west. Constantine made his city the new capital of the entire Roman Empire. In 383 when the Empire was split in half and ruled separately by the sons of Theodosius (the last emperor to rule a united Roman Empire) Constantinople remained the capital of the East Roman Empire or what is now commonly known as the Byzantine Empire. This Empire remained existent although in ever shrinking portions until the year 1453 AD when all that remained was the city of Constantinople itself. Before walls were breached by the Ottoman Turks the last emperor Constantine XI is said to remark something along the lines that the empire would probably do better with a mayor than an emperor.
The Byzantine empire lasted for nearly a thousand years after the founding of its capital. The Western Empire collapsed in 476 AD leaving the Byzantine Empire the sole heir of the glorious culture, history, conquests and achievements of Rome. And as the political entity lost ever more of its territory it never lost its sense of entitlement to that glorious past and never lost the ever dim hope that it could some day reclaim it.
I was always fascinated by the Byzantine Empire. I have read several books on the subject and always find myself rooting for the Byzantines. I experience relief when I read about their victories and feel somewhat ill at ease when I read about their defeats. There is the sense that when the Byzantines loose territory that the natural order is somehow upset. There is also the sense that they will naturally regain that territory at some point in the future. When I read about the Ottoman Turks taking the city in some corner of my mind I feel that a tragedy has occurred. Something has been broken that can never quite be put back together again and the world is poorer because of it. When I read that the body of Constantine XI was never recovered and that he may have survived to continue his dynasty a tiny, flickering spark of hope remains that maybe, just maybe…
So here we are in the Fall of 2016. The college football season has just begun. Even though the commentators all agreed that Notre Dame was not much of a contender in my mind this was going to be the year that they came from behind to win the national championship that for so long has been held by illegitimate usurpers. In the past few seasons, the team has at least won the first few games allowing for the hope to build inside me. This year they lost their first game to a middling opponent. In the recesses of my mind something feels off kilter and the natural order is upset. But in that same recessed area of my mind lives the hope, nay the belief that this is all the prologue to their resetting that natural order.
I cannot help but see the parallels between the histories of Notre Dame football and the Byzantine Empire. Both are inheritors of a glorious past. Both (by all appearances) entered a state of decline. Both never lost the feeling that they were entitled to that glorious past and both never lost hope and belief that they will regain their rightful glorious heritage at some point in the future. I suppose in some ways the ultimate outcome does not matter. The story of Notre Dame and the Byzantine Empire is one of righteous struggle against the odds. It is a story of a faith in victory that exists even in the dank jaws of undeniable defeat. There is something beautiful there and perhaps on some level I can derive some obscure, aesthetic comfort from this intricate and nuanced tapestry. On the other hand, fuck it. I just want them to win.
Go ND!

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's Competition Board said on Monday it had opened an investigation to determine whether Google had violated the country's competition law.
In a statement on its website, the authority said the probe aimed to determine whether Google's contracts with equipment producers, in addition to its mobile communications systems, applications, and provision of services, had violated the law.
The competition authority had previously concluded that opening an investigation into the company was not necessary, but decided to change its decision after a second evaluation.

I'm a working mother with a preschooler, worrying about Mom and Dad, who are approaching their eighties. See, I'm part of the growing number of Americans who are caring for aging parents (or wringing their hands in anticipation of it) and raising a child simultaneously.
When we visited last November, we found that Dad had converted my old bedroom into storage space for his fishing equipment. I sang the cowboy song at bedtime as usual, and when I got to the part where it fondly describes New England winters and the wonder of blueberry pie, I paused to pay attention to the droplet of sweat making its way down my back. The house isn't air conditioned, despite the tropical climate. While my child slept, I quietly opened my laptop.
As an anthropology major, I tend to think that child development has more to do with what is learned than what is natural or instinctive (if I recall correctly, human beings don't have many instincts at all--most of what we display on a daily basis is learned behavior). From that viewpoint, exposure to grandparents can be fabulous for children's development, and seems so much healthier and socially connected than having only their photographs, a parent's recollections and an occasional telephone call through which to try to know them.
We (or more accurately, Dad) built this house during twelve weeks in 1971. My sister and I were in first and third grade, respectively, at St. Christopher's Girls School. We were a hit on the playground there, mainly for our skill in jumping Double Dutch.
There's open pasture to the east, and somebody's vegetable garden to the west. As a little kid, I cared only cared about running with our sheep, and riding them like the horses I wished they were, when Dad wasn't looking. And so I was truly surprised when the butcher, a family friend, visited us in his professional capacity. That was thirty-one years ago.
The incredibly blue ocean is still visible from the living room, but the eye can no longer rest without the interruption of clotheslines, galvanized rooftops, satellite dishes, and lately, the construction of condos. What was once quiet is now punctuated by the messy sounds of people going about their lives. St. Christopher's Girls still stands, but when we saw it last year, it looked empty. It was sad that the place where I spent part of my childhood seemed no more than a memory.
Nonetheless, emboldened by the jar of Herbes de Provence I brought along, I promised to do all of the cooking. The gas man was to bring more propane, and the ice-cream truck announced his bi-weekly visits by playing, much too loudly, a tinny-sounding "Home on the Range."

General Election 2020
Your sayView more polls
Poll: Do you read political party manifestos before casting your vote?
SEVERAL POLITICAL PARTIES have been releasing their manifestos in recent days, outlining what they would do in government ahead of the general election vote in two weeks' time.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil both released their manifestos yesterday and the Green Party will be launching its version this morning.
People Before Profit launched its general election manifesto on Wednesday while other parties have yet to launch the final version of their manifestos.
The policies in these lengthy documents outline what the party would do if elected into power.
They are aimed at winning over voters, but do people actually read manifestos before deciding which party or candidate to support?
So we want to know: Do you read political party manifestos before casting your vote?

Hi Prairie Dogs
Here's some nice comments from another hot PPL show
All the best,
Pure Prairie, Firefall at Capitol Jan. 28
Manitowoc Wi.
Great night of music, both bands gave it a ride. PPL's steel driven tunes complimented by a great lead guitar were particularly impressive. Real nice vocals, nice to hear the tunes from yesteryear still being played to perfection. PPL delivers just what you would hope for and then some.
Pure Prairie League & Firefall were excellent. Great choice! There should be more groups like this in the future. The Capitol staff was very organized and very helpful! Keep up the great work. Lee O'Leary
AWESOME SHOW !! Sandy Rohr

I planted tomato plants over a 5 to 6 week period as work would permit. My tomato plants are at different stages of life right now but that's a good thing I will have a lot of tomatoes ripening at different times.
The biggest trick at this stag is to feed your tomatoes every two weeks. I feed mine with a mix I get from the our local feed store. I use a organic tomato feed called Tomato Tone.
The peppers are just starting to grow. They will look so much better in a couple of weeks.

The class is described as "a modern, challenging, and safe barre class that sculpts your body while providing a calorie-burning cardio workout. Set to an up-tempo and fun mix of music ranging from classical to contemporary, this class targets specific muscle groups through repetitive movements. It incorporates weights, therabands, exercise balls, and the ballet barre to build core strength while developing long, lean, flexible muscles." Miss Tyler was recently certified to teach the Barre Body® class, and is so excited to be bringing the technique to dancers and non-dancers alike.
The free trial class will be open to all- absolutely no experience required! Based upon the demand for the class at the trial, we may be adding it to the schedule permanently beginning February 2016.
To save your space in the class, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Sign up now; space if limited!
This photo is from the first Barre Body® class we held at Dance & Company, with some of our Mat Pilates class participants. As these ladies could testify, the class is an amazing workout, but it is also tons of fun!

The beta test for Gen r8 has now ended and we are finishing off the changes made to our products to support r8. We will be launching this release 8.0 in early May to coincide with the general availability of Gen 8.0.
The most significant changes that affected us were on the z/OS platform. The introduction of z/OS Libraries (OPSLIBs for z/OS), dynamic RI triggers and changes to the way that applications are linked affected many aspects of GuardIEn, especially in the areas of impact analysis and code construction.
In previous releases of Gen, the link-edit control cards were created from the Gen skeletons using file tailoring and then a single INCLUDE was added for the dialog manager, with the remaining modules included using autocall.
With Gen r8, the format of the link-edit control cards has changed. Instead of using autocall to resolve called action blocks, each non-compatibility Gen module referenced in the load module has a specific INCLUDE APPLOAD or IMPORT statement.
This means that if you create the link-edit control cards outside of Gen, you will have to replicate this approach. A new business system library is available which Gen populates with the link-edit control cards (called binder control cards using the new IBM terminology), so these are available if required.
Another change is that dynamic action blocks that are packaged into a z/OS Lib are now called using a literal instead of a variable, for example, in Gen r7 and previously, a call to action block AAAA would be implemented as:
In Gen r8, if AAAA is included in a z/LIB, this is now
If you installing code using multiple models, then the use of external action block and external system load libraries must be carefully considered to ensure that dynamic action blocks packaged into a z/LIB are not found via autocall since the binder will then statically link the object modules instead of resolving them using the IMPORT statement.

Since I last wrote we have had Easter. The message of the empty tomb is still as powerful today as 2000 years ago. Then in May I lost of one my curates. Like George Herbert, I have had the joy of having two curates for the last couple of years, but Andy has now moved on to Bristol to be a missioner for a parish there. It's been great fun training him up and I hope they send me a replacement soon. My other curate, Susan, continues to be a huge boon to us all, and without the team of her, Gillian and the Churchwardens I would soon go under.
Summer brings the visitors to St. Andrews, and it is always a joy to show guests round. For them it is maybe a once in a lifetime encounter - coming from the USA, or Japan. Their enthusiasm and wonder remind us that we are stewards of a precious jewel, and forbid us from taking it all for granted. We also learn a lot from them, as many of the visitors have specialised knowledge of Herbert. I was amazed to discover that there is an exact copy of St. Andrew's built in New York somewhere. Some of the congregation felt they had to come and see the original, and now I feel the need to see theirs!
Such travel across continents would have been marvel to Mr Herbert. What he would have made of our recent South African visitors I cannot imagine. We have a link, through the local church secondary school (Salisbury High School) with a township outside Cape Town. Thobile Mhlongo started taking in orphans during the civil unrest in the 90's. After Mandela's election the children changed to those with Aids or HIV - many orphans, many struggling, and this brave woman relies on charity and generosity.
Wonderfully, the Trussell Trust has agreed to provide bedding and clothes regularly to the hospice, and the employees of one of our congregation has agreed to pay for a monthly shipment. God moves in wonderful ways, sometimes we get to glimpse it.
That's Ned about to jump in the paddling pool, not me! He has had a fantastic time recently, going to lots of events during the Salisbury Festival. He made willow sculptures of fish, went inside an enormous inflatable cathedral, and has spent quite a long time playing pirates. He adores his little sister Bunty, who is finally sleeping through the night after 10 months of leading us a merry dance. A friend told us that it was better to have a happy baby and siblings who love one another than a good night's sleep. I'm sure they're right, but it didn't always feel that way in the last year. Finally we can catch up on sleep again.

Following his release from UCLA Medical Center, Kanye West has returned with yet another season of Yeezy. The 5th installment was held at New York's notable Pier 59 Studios during fashion week. Traditional clothing invitations were handed out, which consisted of an olive sweatshirt with the words "LOST HILLS", an interchange in the Calabasas, California area, plastered on the front and sleeves.
This collection is crisp and leans toward a more realistic execution of ready to wear, divergent from the previous seasons. West took typical materials and implemented the consistent effect accentuating that you're looking at a Yeezy garment. He sustains the oversized, comfortable, and slouchy approach, taking a break from revealing, skin tight wear. As well as new threads, West also launched a new collaborative Adidas sneaker that resembles the typical runner shoe. More colorways are said to be released in time.
As for the actual show itself, it received content reviews as opposed to Season 4's fiasco composed of fainting models, unpleasant weather and an overall overwhelmingly disappointing experience. This event was prompt, organized, and had an effective enough atmosphere to be considered another exceptional addition to the Yeezy brand.
Check out the looks below.

Vaisala technology heads for Mars
Vaisala technology heads for Mars
Vaisala has a presence in examining the Martian atmosphere as the Mars Rover Curiosity is equipped with Vaisala BAROCAP® and HUMICAP® pressure and humidity sensors.
The sensors are a part of instrumentation designed by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), and they will be used to gather accurate readings of pressure and humidity in the extreme environmental conditions of the Martian atmosphere.
Vaisala has provided the project with standard Vaisala HUMICAP® humidity sensors and specially customized Vaisala BAROCAP® pressure sensors. Both were put through space qualification testing by FMI, to ensure they are suited to the Martian atmosphere, in addition to which FMI made specific alterations and modifications to the Vaisala BAROCAP® pressure sensors to meet the needs of the mission.
Vaisala's technology will be used to compile time series on pressure and humidity for the duration of the entire Mars Science Laboratory program, which is one Mars year, 686 Earth days. FMI's instruments will also be used to look for possible residues and evidence of water that may have filled the Gale crater in the past. Furthermore, the rover will be making observations about the structure, geology and environmental conditions of the area.
Vaisala has provided sensors to FMI's space exploration projects since 1988. This is the fifth venture to space where FMI is applying Vaisala's technology.
"The Finnish Meteorological Institute benefits not only from the sensors but also from Vaisala's scientific and technological knowhow. Our 24 years of collaboration in space exploration projects is testament of this," says FMI's Head of Radar and Space Technology, Ari-Matti Harri.
The Vaisala BAROCAP® and HUMICAP® sensor technologies are used in numerous Vaisala products such as radiosondes, weather stations and other instruments.
Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP155 for reliable humidity and temperature measurements. The HMP155 has a new generation Vaisala HUMICAP®180R sensor that has excellent stability even in harsh environments thanks to solid probe structure and maximum protection against liquid water, dust, and dirt.
Vaisala BAROCAP® Digital Barometer PTB330, a new generation barometer designed for a wide range of demanding atmospheric pressure measurement. The pressure measurement of the PTB330 is based on the Vaisala BAROCAP® silicon capacitive, absolute pressure sensor that provides high measurement accuracy and excellent long-term stability.

In bodyweight training, you will often see long, awe-inspiring sets that make you fatigued after having watched them.
One of the benefits of training without weights includes the ability to pump out high volumes of basic exercises.
Think pushups, pullups or rows.
Regardless if your end goal involves strength or hypertrophy gains, you will at some point begin to plateau during your workouts. Especially if there isn't a lot of variation in your training methods.
And I hope you do reach a plateau.
If you're not pushing yourself to at least moderate levels of discomfort during a non-deload week, you're going to be stuck in a perpetual cycle of looking and performing to an average standard. This means you will not improve, at all.
We at FitnessFAQs.tv don't accept average, and neither should you.
So… if I feel like I've reached a plateau and I'm no longer improving, what should I try?
A strategy that has worked for me is the notion of cluster sets, which you can apply in both a physical, and mental sense.
Let me explain.
Physical Cluster Sets
A traditional understanding of a "cluster set" involves performing an amount of rep(s) at a very high intensity, having a brief pause/rest, and completing your set.
With respect to weight lifting, this will allow you to hit more reps in the 85%+ range of your one rep max.
Breaking up your set like this also functions as a way to add more variation to your workouts over time.
More variation, when used sensibly, will stimulate recovery and make sure overtraining does not occur. In turn, this promotes physical longevity, and keeps you performing well over time.
You'll also find, due to completing more difficult (85%+) reps, your previous plateau(s) no longer seem so insurmountable.
In turn, the goal of physical cluster sets is as follows:
An increase in strength and power due to moving heavy loads for more repetitions.
With bodyweight training, cluster sets work well with improving both your weighted movements (weighted chinups, weighted dips) and power movements (muscle-ups, 90 degree pushups).
Weighted bodyweight training example
To give an example, assume that the heaviest weighted pullup you can do for a single is 40kg/88lbs.
Now, assume that I've asked you to do a single set of weighted pullups; 6 reps with 35kg/77lbs.
Based on your max output of 40kg, this would be pretty difficult. To achieve what I've asked, you'll have to break up the set to hit the numbers.
One valid approach would be to do 3 reps, rest for 30 seconds, do 2 reps, rest for 30 seconds, then complete your last rep.
If I then ask you to do another set of 6 after a long rest period, this may be even more difficult and you would have to scale back accordingly.
The strategy to use here could be to do 2-2-2 reps, each with a 45-60 second rest in between.
Even though your working sets are broken up in this way, the total volume (and intensity) remains high. This volume could not be completed if all reps were naïvely attempted at once.
Mental Cluster Sets
Do you ever find that, at times, completing your sets is less about your ability to physically push through them and more about a lack of mental fortitude?
If so, mental cluster sets are an option for you.
I define mental clustering as a mind game you're playing with yourself. By simply changing how you count your reps, you'll be surprised at how much more you're able to do.
Here's how you would apply it to your bodyweight training.
Unweighted bodyweight training example (sets of 10)
Let's assume now that we're operating on the other end of the intensity spectrum; completing exercises with bodyweight only (no extra weights).
With this drop in intensity, you should be able perform a higher number of uninterrupted reps than before.
Assuming again that you're able to do a single 40kg/88lb pullup, performing 10 strict bar pullups is not outside the realm of possibility.
This is where a mental strategy for your set will serve you well.
Two approaches are possible here:
- You count from 1-10 in your head, incrementing the number after each rep.
- You mentally break up the set into reps of 5-5 (or 2-2-2-2-2)
In my experience, option #2 provides a slight mental edge when completing my sets.
Instead of viewing a set of 10 as a mountain of work, breaking it down into two mini sets of five can reduce the difficulty from "there's no way I can do 10 more" to "only 5 repeated twice? I think I can manage that".
When I'm fatigued, I'll willingly take any mental advantage I can get which can help me finish my sets.
But how does this work? Could this have something to do with the fact humans psychologically fare better working with smaller numbers?
If you're interested in Psychology, learn about Miller's Law. Or if you're lazy, Miller's Law states that the number of objects an average human can hold in memory is 7 ± 2.
(Note: You'll also find plenty of posts online stating that any large goal you set should be broken up into smaller, more manageable tasks. Irrelevant here, but worth mentioning)
Try out mental cluster sets and see if it works for you.
Bodyweight Cluster Sets – My Verdict
It's not difficult to find research about (physical) cluster sets and its applicability to weightlifting.
For instance, the following conclusion was made from Gregory Haff, PhD in his 2008 paper (available online) about cluster training with barbell movements:
Current data suggest that strength and conditioning professionals should consider using this novel training stimuli [cluster training] as part of their training plans, especially when working with explosive exercise such as the power clean, power snatch, and potentially pulling exercises (clean and snatch).
But what about bodyweight training, does it have a similar carryover?
I'm confident that it does.
Bodyweight movements, when performed well, require power.
Try doing muscle ups, weighted pullups or pushups without power and see how you fare.
More power equates to improved strength, improved quality of reps, and a safer execution of what you're doing.
I believe cluster sets work best as a variation to your regular continuous sets. By mixing up your training in this regard, as discussed above, you're challenging your body in a novel way, forcing it to adapt accordingly.
You'll also break through any plateaus due to completing more reps close to your max output.
Oh, and mental cluster sets? Those can be used right now in your training, with nothing more than a slight tweak to your mental counting strategy.
Now, go forth and continue developing your strength and power. I also look forward hearing about any plateaus you're able to overcome.
Readers, do you use any mental tricks to help yourself get through tough sets? Have you tried cluster set training before with either bodyweight training or weightlifting? What was your experience? I'd like to hear about it.

According to Benefit Services of Hawaii, pulpal debridement is a procedure done to relieve serious pain before a normal root canal. This procedure involves opening the tooth and removing infected tissue to relieve pressure.
Endodontic treatment is most often required when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This inflammation can be caused by serious decay, too many dental procedures in one tooth or a crack in the tooth itself. Pulpal debridement is the first step in a root canal, which requires removing all the pulp and filling the tooth with an inert substance.
Also called an "open and broach" procedure, pulpal debridement involves creating an opening in the affected tooth. The endodontist removes part of the infected pulp, giving the remaining tissue room to swell. This relieves some of the pain, allowing a root canal patient to wait longer before having the full procedure performed.
Although a pulpal debridement might reduce the pain in an infected tooth, it should never be considered a substitute for a root canal. Patients who have received this procedure must return to have the remaining infected tissue removed and the tooth sealed.

PUNE: Minister of state for petroleum and natural gas Dharmendra Pradhan said CNG refilling stations would be opened on the Pune-Mumbai expressway and the Pune-Mumbai old highway to encourage use of CNG vehicles.
The minister was in the city for launching various initiatives of the Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) and oil marketing companies. Pradhan also talked about increasing the city's domestic PNG connections to 50,000 from the present 21,000.
Pradhan inaugurated the MNGL's piped gas supply to Nanded City township, which will provide 24X7 tap gas to the residents. He also launched MNGL's clean-green-smart Pune initiative which aims at making the city pollution-free.
The minister launched a system under which kiosks will be installed at prominent places across the city for consumers to conduct LPG transactions. He also started 'online booking' of LPG cylinders with 'online payment' facility for those who want to use the web and wish to pay at the time of delivery.
Pradhan handed over insurance policies gifted by MNGL to 10 autorickshaw drivers under the 'Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana'. The MNGL has provided insurance cover to autorickshaw and PMPML bus drivers. The personal accidental policy covers death or disablement of the policy holder caused due to accident or accidental injuries and offers an accidental death and full disability cover of Rs 2 Lakh; for partial disability a cover of Rs 1 lakh is provided to people in the age group of 18 to 70 years.
The minister handed over deposit-free LPG connections to a few BPL families. These connections are provided by oil marketing companies under the 'Give Back' initiative to BPL families so that they can benefit from the use of clean fuel.
The MNGL's programme for the next year includes plantation, green run for green cause - 'Greenothon', 'our planet our future', smart safety program 'learn not to burn' , 'Alert today alive tomorrow' etc.
