1000 AT ONE GO?? ...not over course of a day? WERK DIVA!! (although you are a guy... that called for a dance queen's exclamation!!)ReplyDelete
alrighty then... i'll give this a go later and post! but let a girl know if it's over the course of a day adding up all the times.... i won't be mad at it!! ;-)
33:14 done in one "session"... with that time, obviously, many breaks and little continuity!... HOLY COW!! that took F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! felt like i'd never get there. really wanted to stop at 800 -- a great mental push! jeeeeez!!ReplyDelete
29:30 holy rat fuck batman that sucked groups avg 40 per setReplyDelete
If Adam wrote a comedy it would be called "1000 Doubleunders."ReplyDelete
I finally figured out how to do them with that slight forward-bend jack knife position (note to blog readers - try kicking your legs out in front with a bend in your body to get the rope under twice, not lifting heels up behind you like you did in the playground)
However I only get about ten in a row then lacerate my body with the jump rope and trip up.
Practice makes perfect? In awe of the 1000DU club.
what she is describing is a level 1 progression. Think butt up behind you slightly. This will teach you to jump straight up without bending the knees. It will increase your efficency. Later you jump regular no leg bendReplyDelete

Have a huge whelp on my wrist from the jumprope--pissed at it.
I'm doing most of these workouts but not posting them. Am also currently obsessing over breathing ladders.
One additional note on form: it's important to get what part of your body is driving your motion whether you do a level 1 progression as described or if you can keep your body straight. Body tension (the whole trunk) is key to a smooth, rythmic movement which is advantageous when doing 1000 of these things.
now I have to do a post on breathing ladders. Damn you Rhonda. Good job on the double unders and enjoy the calves tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I knew that was coming about 300 into it.ReplyDelete

This is one of the four blog sites for UCI's Spring quarter LitJ and English 103 course, The Literature of Fashion and Celebrity. On this blog, we'll be watching and calibrating the fame quotient of the mid-ranked actor Shia LaBeouf in order to better understand how the fame machine works, and how observation, writing, and narrative are used by it, and use it. How does a young star manipulate the fame machine to up his ante in the public eye? Does a celebrity have to keep producing news to remain in the public eye? And how do the media profit from the ongoing fame production?
On our other blogs, CumberbatchWatch, WestWatch, and The BynesWatch, we'll be considering how the fame machine works for other kinds of celebrities. For all the blogs, we want to be thinking about how the narrative of celebrity functions for and in the wider world.
Here's a chart from 2006 showing what the National Entertainment State looks like. (Scroll to the PDF.)
Some of the questions we want to consider as we watch Cumberbatch, West, Bynes, and LaBeouf this quarter:
How does the digital world enhance a celebrity's standing?
Can all the coverage harm a figure or only enhance her or him, in some way?
Someone once said that there is no such thing as bad publicity — is that true?
And how does publicity differ from journalism — this is a particularly vexed question in the field of celebrity and fashion journalism, where so often the reporter is co-opted in some way by the subject.
Can a day pass without a news mention of one of these figures? Why not?
Does the celebrity's "true" character as a human being play a part in his or her fame in any way?
Why are so many celebrities actors? What other professions seem to create celebrities?
What are the implicit narratives of our subjects' fame stories?
Who is generating the stories about our subjects? How are they being covered?
Who is doing the most serious writing about them, if anyone? (WE are!!!)
Paparazzi: what is the significance of this phenomenon?
How does the viewer participate in the fame quotient, in the form of clicks, commentating, fan fictions, etc.?
Do celebrities matter? Is the celebrity machine a force for good in the culture, in the broader world?
LaBeouf watchers, this is your site: You know who you are!
Go to the blog page and comment! Let's become smart about this constant feed of facts and factoids and pointless fizz and fodder that's coming at us all the time, every day; even our subject knows how crazy it all is, apparently (see photo above).

Would a coach benefit from having coach? You bet! - by Nicholas Wai
'Why would a coach want to work with a mentor coach (a coach's coach who would guide and support a fellow coach to reflect and progress)?', you might ask. And my response would be that a mentor coach is one of the most valuable resources a coach can get for himself or herself. I must admit I only started mentor coaching because this is one of the credentialing requirements of the International Coach Federation, one of the global professional bodies that aims to uphold and raise the standard and professionalism of coaches around the world. Nevertheless, after experiencing the joy and benefits of mentor coaching in both a group and one-on-one setting, I would say that it is a necessity for any coach who would like to stay clear-headed while at the same time continuously improve his or her skills and expertise in supporting their clients.
So how is mentor coaching session structured? In a group mentor coaching session, we would either perform a live coaching for about 15 mintutes by two of the participants or listen to a recorded coaching by one of the participating coaches (with the prior approval of the client). Then led by a more experienced and senior mentor coach, we would, with permission and in confidence, feedback on how the coach performed with reference to the core competencies as stipulated by ICF. In a one-on-one session, the mentor coach and I would listen to a recorded coaching session and together carefully go through and feedback on each core competencies to help facilitate self-reflection and desired changes for growth.
So what have I got out of my 10 hours of mentor coaching and why would I say that mentor coaching is a necessity for any coach even outside of the credential process?
- Someone I trust and value to bounce ideas off with or ask questions
- Having someone to hold me accountable for change and growth does strengthen and expediate the process
- For group mentor coaching it provides a unique opportunity to discuss (in confidence) and learn from a diverse yet similar group of colleagues
- It is also a great opportunity and honour to give back and support the coaching community in raising its standard and learning from each other
A coaching relationship has often been described as a partnership in learning and self-improvement. A mentor coaching relationship is thus a partnership of resource, where I can and want to access to make sure that I am playing my best game and never stop improving a a coach.

Ice Mountains
I sometimes, well who am I kidding, I often reread my words thinking exactly that
what am I thinking
what am I trying to get at
I don't appreciate the kind decades
generous, in fact
as I've had them
to write angst when I'm happy
create euphoria when I'm blue
mold dream sequences I dare not live
in both words and colored shapes
often content in my ability
to be discontent
the excuse
the "creative" mind or spirit
instead, the reality
human with the privilege of life
I write this with the clarity of a gorgeous sunup
and a cool affirming breeze wrapping my fingers
now set upon my pricey laptop
the local paper this morning
a continuation of an accident report
three died in a nearby town
driver's ed car and a tractor
an intersection
two at the scene
one this morning
beyond grief
is loss
young loss
beyond that
turn the page
ice mountains high as the Rockies
chasms six times deeper than the Grand Cranyon
Pluto artfully sculpted
may these young souls
touch beyond ice mountains
their vibrant spirits
forever reside
in the living
with the privilege
to do so
hearts out to them
families, friends…

Seabiscuit and Why Blogs are Like Seashells
Dear Friends,
A dear and uber-intelligent blog friend made me think about what ignited my initial blogging passion? The simple, silly, banal truth – I was inspired by the movie, Julie and Julia. In a nutshell (this is a shell post), Julie gets publishing offers galore after her 'cooking' blog reaches stratospheric popularity. There are two problems with this movie scenario for me – I'm an average writer at best and I can't cook.
So what keeps my butt in this chair writing a few unrelated lines when I want to invent worlds? What keeps me drawing little pictures when I like to paint expansive canvases? There is the fantasy of having 10 billion followers just to mutter, "You like me, you really like me." I don't think I'd ever mutter it though. Sally Field's cheeks still redden.
I gave the whole blog thing more thought, and upon further introspection, I saw my blog in a big seashell. So I think of my blog like a great, big seashell. After all, a blog is like a giant seashell isn't it? You can polish it and admire the translucent rainbows. You can stuff your head inside it and hide. You can fill it with your personal space, place it on your back and run. You can share it with others by letting them hold it upon their ears so they too can hear the ocean. You can collect more than one and place them in pretty jars.
I do like seashells, but I love horses more. A favorite role model of mine – hands and hooves down – is Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit the horse with the indomitable heart. The little steed who bested War Admiral, a flawless thoroughbred. I think of Seabiscuit and I smile. Yes, Seabiscuit makes me smile. Blogging makes me smile. And in the end, I think maybe that's it…
Thank you, my friends. Dream of sleeping in a giant shell while floating across a sparkling ocean. And one more thing you can do with a seashell – let your pet piglet sleep in it, of course!

NOT many players in today's era would consider a drop in wages when joining another club, but Derek McInnes did just that when he left French outfit Toulouse to join Gary Megson's Hawthorns revolution in 2000.
His first season at Albion was ruined by injury but it was his second campaign with the club which ensured his status among the club's supporters.
Born in Paisley in 1971 he was brave, fearless, incredibly passionate, and the ex-Rangers' SPL winner epitomised Albion's spirit during their 2001/02 promotion push.
Refusing to settle for second best, he famously rallied his players around, insisting they were capable of taking enough points from their run-in as Wolves began to falter.
The winner of one Scotland cap, he also scored a number of crucial goals for Albion, not least goal-of-the-season contenders in the 4-0 win against Manchester City and a stunning volley in the abandoned 3-0 Battle of Bramall Lane victory against Sheffield United, despite suffering a nasty injury after being head-butted earlier in the game.
Although he played just 100 times for Albion, McInnes inspired the club's fight and drive during the early part of the decade, which saw the Baggies return to the top flight for the first time in 16 years.
After Albion McInnes returned to Scotland to play for Dundee United, before a brief coaching spell with Millwall alongside ex-Rangers colleague Nigel Spackman.
Without his input, it's unlikely Albion would be where they are now and he remains highly regarded at The Hawthorns as he takes the first step in his managerial career, at St Johnstone.
John Wile said of him: "Derek demanded performances from others and from himself, earning a great deal of respect from everyone around him. He was also a very good player but his greatest strengths were his leadership and immense moral courage."

Moroccan cooking is like its art and architecture—colorful and bold. A wide variety of spices build complex and unique flavor combinations. And, while many spices, like salt, pepper, and ginger are familiar, Moroccan cuisine makes great use of items that may not have a place in your spice cabinet.
A member of the rhizome family, like ginger, turmeric has an earthy, slightly mustard-like aroma. Typically used dried, it is a rich yellow-orange powder. It is often used to give foods a golden hue as well as flavor. It is often used in Moroccan tagines.
The world's most expensive spice, saffron is the dried stigmas and styles of a crocus flower. However, a little goes a long way. Typically a pinch of saffron is soaked in hot water to help release its subtle but distinct flavor. It is used to flavor any number of dishes and to provide a bright yellow color to foods, like couscous.
The dried seed of a member of the parsley family, it is most often used ground. This tan powder provides a warm, earthy and slightly bitter flavor. Cumin is an essential ingredient in soups, stews, and even pickles.
Real cinnamon comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree, and is sold in either "sticks" or ground. Ground cinnamon is reddish-brown in color and has a slightly sweet, warm fragrance. A common flavoring in Moroccan sweets, cinnamon is also often used in savory dishes, including soups, stews, and tagines.
Ras el hanout
This is a ground spice mix typically associated with Morocco. There is no set recipe; each shop or family often has their own variation. Typical ingredients, however, include: cardamom, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and more.
A wide variety of spices give Moroccan cuisine some very unique flavors. The next time you're enjoying Moroccan food with us, see if you can identify them.

What a wonderful victory for Ashers Baking Company in the United Kingdom's final court of appeal yesterday.
And what an unexpected triumph too.
The business, long run by a family who have committed Christian beliefs, had politely turned down a request to bake a cake with a message: 'Support gay marriage'.
That message is one that is antithetical to their faith.
Yet that refusal began a saga that has now wound its way to the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.
Few observers expected anything other than a decision that endorsed the finding of the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal, which in turn had upheld a county court ruling against Ashers.
During this long-drawn out process there was much talk about employment orders and equality acts and sexual orientation regulations and convention articles and laws relating to provisions of goods. Almost everyone seemed to understand that, technically, Ashers had probably done something wrong by the letter of this blizzard of laws.
Yet at the same time, people across Northern Ireland and further afield grasped something fundamental about this case: that it was distasteful to force a business that acts in good faith to acquiesce in a message so alien to its founders' values.
It is hard to envisage almost anyone in the 'human rights' or 'equality' worlds rushing to back a case against a small business run along similarly honest and hard-working lines by a devoutly Muslim family if it refused to bake a slogan that it deemed to be deeply offensive to adherents of Islam.
Then, to widespread surprise yesterday, the Supreme Court not only found in favour of Ashers, but did so unanimously.
The outcome is a tribute to the McArthur family, who own Ashers, and their quiet dignity and determination in defending the case and seeing it all the way through to vindication in the highest court. They have helped make legal history in a case that has clear ramifications for the right to conscience.

Sensuality Expansion Write Ups
Ashley and Fred's Sensuality Expansion Program
My experience with Ewan and Alicia might be different than many. I literally signed up for the Pleasure Course, Mastery of Relationship, Paradise Vacation Course and the Sensuality Expansion programs in one stroke. Am I a maniac? No. For the past year I had received a lot of personal coaching on integrating my mind, heart and body to cultivate a greater sense of presence in all parts of my life. I had also met my boyfriend, Fred, a few months prior. Early in our first couple of dates he shared with me that he had spent the last three years with Erwan and Alicia and was now in Mastery of Relationship. Not only had I met this incredible man who was learning and investing in himself, but his focus was sex and romance. HELLO! I could see no sane reason why I wouldn't dive head first into experiencing this for myself and with this man. What an amazing way to start a relationship, right?
Amazing is right. Intense and intimidating is also right. While I knew I would come through this experience changed, I've never undertaken such an emotionally vulnerable journey with anyone in my life. Feeling fear about it made taking the journey that much more compelling to see what I would find there for me, and for us.
Our Sensuality Expansion Program started about 7 months into our relationship and about 3 months into my Mastery of Relationship experience. I had witnessed 2 Extended Orgasm demonstrations in Mastery of Relationship and enjoyed about 15 or so Extended Orgasm sessions with Fred. While Fred had significant training already, pretty much everything was new to me. At the start of our first session I was really excited, curious and – in a word – nervous. I knew whatever the experience was that I'd have to really open up to see and show what was there, and part of that really scared me. When I arrived I was immediately put to ease. Our guides were warm familiar faces from Mastery of Relationship, who paid especially close attention to making us feel at ease and cared for from the beginning through the end. Erwan and Alicia have a way of quickly establishing trust and connection, and so I felt increasingly comfortable about getting uncomfortable. Every one of our needs (water, hug, massage, recognition) were proactively met with love and support, so Fred and I could just focus on being present and getting connected.
Every session started with 30 or so minutes of Withholds, which is talking to a neutral party about specific moments from our lives that carry emotional charge. Often, these are moments that you've not otherwise shared with anyone. In remembering and giving voice to these specific frames of my life I noticed the many "ghosts" that haunt me. From my earliest memories with family and childhood experiences that trigger me now in just about all personal interactions. I saw how active my anger and fear was in my romantic relationships. Curious to understand the source of it all I revisited early childhood experiences with men, starting with my father and including several men that my mother had relationships with. I re-saw and re-felt with adult clarity the source of these emotions and bodily sensations of harm, shame and anger. I've lived most of my adult life believing these experiences didn't shape me, but in looking closer – with openness and curiosity – it became clear they are the main fuel behind the brute force energy that drives me. It drives my fierce desire for independence, my aloof attitude toward attachment, and my default sense of distrust toward men.
I saw with acute clarity how I tend to disengage from relationships driven by this underlying fear and anxiousness toward men. I saw my focus on ambition as a survival strategy that maintained by distance and independence from men, and that in doing so somehow I felt safe from harm. I saw my lack of trust and concern for being worthy of love. I saw with fresh eyes how my deliberate and often righteous focus on being strong and independent masked how much I deeply desired to be held, loved and supported.
The main milestone of the first phase of the SEP is the Resolution, which is about really seeing and embracing the ultimate perfection of who we are. My Resolution, was about truly loving myself as a person who openly and without shame has desires, while at the same time has the vulnerability and self-worth to ask for my desires to be met in my relationship. I could see myself in a way I never had before and at last sat comfortably in my own skin – feeling how perfect and human imperfection really is.
Fred's resolution was about abandonment and dissociation from the hurt that comes from little to no connection with the mother figures in his life. While I listened to him share I felt my whole heart engage. He shared how he experienced emotional and physical separation from his mother, and about the hurt he carries. He talked about moments in his childhood when sharing how he felt wasn't received well. As he shared I became aware of a different man. In understanding him better I felt my heart also connect to him deeper. I saw a man who has risen from the ashes of childhood with wounds that he is courageously facing with determination in order to feel real connection. In many ways, in his stories my own story became even more clear to me. It was a beautiful experience that reminded me of our simple humanity and how we are all perfect and deserve love. What a great prelude to having Extended Orgasm training!
The difference from our first session to our last session would take pages and pages to write! In the beginning, even though I had experienced the technique of Extended Orgasm, I really didn't understand how to truly receive. I struggled with being in my body and my mind raced with things like "What am I supposed to do? What is going on? Is this right?" My head would not quit. Ewan and Alicia were onto me immediately, and they caringly coached me with each session to keep my attention on what I was feeling.
When Erwan and Alicia demonstrated the extended orgasm technique, they took special care to walk both Fred and I through the parts that struck at the core of our development. For me, that was about staying out of my head and in my body. In their first demonstration, I focused on every connection between Erwan's hands and Alicia's body. What immediately struck me is when he hovered his hand just slightly above the mound of her pussy that she immediately went into pleasurable contractions rolling from her abdomen to her quivering toes. There was a clear connection between the energy, care and focus of Erwan's attention and what was physically happening with Alicia. Her pusy was activated, she moaned and praised each move. He explained that Alicia's entire focus was on her body not tensing up in resistance to the pleasure, but relaxed and curious about the sensations available with each caress of his finger on her clit and his thumb on her introitus.
On a subsequent date Erwan wanted to demonstrate the playfulness of a great extended orgasm date, and they initiated touch at a lovely, playful pace sharing moments of experience with each other. Alicia said with a relaxed joyful giggle how incredible it felt when Erwan just bared ran his fingers through her pubic hairs. Erwan was just as intrigued as he saw how her toes and thighs reacted with tiny shakes and goosebumps as he touched her. I was so intrigued that the slightest touch from Erwan would send such strong surges of pleasure through Alicia's body. I felt so turned on with the slightest little jolts of energy flickering through my calfs to my pussy and into my arms.
In our next date I pointed all of my attention to my body. I felt relaxed and literally let my mind fall loose into the floor. I could feel my calm heart beat, and the way the air felt coming in and out of my lungs. At one point I noticed that all of us in the room were deeply inhaling together, and it electrified my entire body. Fred's fingers moved up my legs into gently stroking and then grabbing my inner thighs. I could feel my pussy engorge and tingle with the anticipation of cumming. His strokes on my lips and clit were so gentle, caring and familiar. I surrendered the urge to "understand" what was going on and opened to the intensity of the waves of pleasure. I felt my desire grow even more intense. From time to time during our date, I found myself going back into my head. I'd catch myself and turn my attention back to my pussy. In addition to feeling all the sensations, my training was also to ask for what I desired. Fred focused his attention on noticing when I was distracted and would try different strokes to reconnect. He stroked my clit in just the right spot and managed the flow to a new sensational peak! Erwan said, "Ashley, blast into this!" and I felt my pussy light right up!
These dates just kept getting better! In our final session, Fred was so familiar with my favorite strokes that my communication started to just morph into delicious and vocal approval for each moment – mostly in the way of moans and exclaimed yeses! I made the request for a downstroke and with perfect pressure Fred sent me into the most incredible peak orgasm experience we had ever had. I felt so in sync with him and cared for. I could feel his attention and desire completely focused on my pleasure and that intensified my desire for this man. I just wanted to hang out in the feeling of bliss – every cell in my body alert and buzzing with pleasure. More please!
At the end of our final session, I felt the warmth and joy of being completely vulnerable with a man who had really seen and connected with me more than anyone I have ever known. The quality of that connection is incredible fuel for our desire to keep exploring ourselves and each other. Each date we have now has a commitment to emotional and physical connection, and it brings us closer. What a way to start a relationship! I am forever grateful for this journey.

Last weekend my sister Lori her husband Jeff and their daughter Lilly ( born 2 days after Jackson) came for a visit. It was very fun and great to have the little ones together for some fun interactions! Every time they are together they are able to interact more and more. I can't wait to see them together once they really start moving! And speaking of moving, Jackson is able to get up on his hands and knees and rock! He is getting really close to crawling which is both exciting and a little nerve racking seeing as I will have a little more trouble keeping up with the little guy 🙂
Here are some pictures from our weekend hang out… enjoy!

So over the last 2 summer months our church did summer seminars. It was very fun and a chance to learn about some new things. For the month of July I joined a photography and worship seminar that Ari hosted. We did some really cool stuff over the course of July and I thought I might share the pics I did from last week because they came out pretty cool. One of our assignments was to try and express something about God through your pictures (an idea, bible verse, something you are going through etc)
Anywho I thought about it alot and Michael encouraged me to try and do something that I am going through right now. The more I thought about it the more and more I wanted my pictures to be a visual reminder of the blessings that God has poured down on me right now in my life. I wanted to take pictures that I could get printed and put up in our home and always have something to visually remind me that the Lord is good, he is for me and my family, and that right now in 2009 he is pouring out blessings on me like a shower of rain.
I am constantly amazed throughout my day at the way God shows me his love for me through my husband Michael and baby Jackson. When I think of Michael I think of a strong huge tree that reaches far up to the sky and branches out shade that God has put into my life to protect me, love me, and provide for me. He is so much more than the man I married, and I am constantly blown away at the love he has for Christ, me, his family, and the people around him. Then I think of baby Jackson, and I feel so blessed at the new life that is so sweet, curious, and full of love for me. I feel so so blessed with these two men that God has blessed my life with! I know that our family will go through difficult times and that at times I will doubt that all of my blessing are blessings at all. But I wanted to take these pictures and be able to look at them during those times and remember that the Lord is good, and I should be thankful for all he has given me.

As part of the first stage for the practical assignment in 3D recording we were given the task of capturing ancient Irish pottery bowls, dated as far back as 2500BC <http://www.museum.ie/en/collection/bronze-age.aspx>. These Bronze Age vessels were found in burial sites, or cists, and it is believed that they contained food as an offering to the dead for their journey to the afterlife.
In the process of photogrammetry, it is necessary to capture all sides of an object, in 360 degrees. Particular challenges involved in capturing these ceramic vessels was getting images of the inside or interior of the object, as well as the base, and making sure that the lighting was correct so to capture as accurately as possible for capturing the decorations and patterned incisions made around the exterior of the objects.
As aforementioned, it is important to capture the object in 360 degrees, on all sides, so that the software program can then extrapolate from the two-dimensional images a model in three dimensions. Since it is best to keep camera movement to a minimum, it is a good idea when working with smaller objects to rotate the object rather than to move around it with the camera. Rotating the object is relatively easy if placed on a turntable. In keeping the camera in the same position for a series of captures this would hopefully obviate the possibility of blurred images. Images that are blurred may not be of a quality that is good enough for the image processing stage in PhotoScan.
Lighting is yet another issue to think about in photogrammetry. Harsh lighting and the casting of shadows is best to be avoided, and so it is worth your while to light your object equally from all sides <https://dinosaurpalaeo.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/photogrammetry-tutorial-3-turntables/>. A well-lit object means surface detail is not distorted by shadow, and so the intricately incised patterns and shapes on the surface of the ceramic vessels, in this instance, would be clear and undistorted once the three-dimensional models are processed. There is also a very handy method to diffuse the light hitting your object: namely, the lightbox. The lightbox is essentially a white, thin box made of canvas material, with an opening on one side through which you can place your object inside to record. The object can be placed in the centre of the lightbox on the turntable. It is best to place two lights at an equal distance from the box on either side, with a third light source placed directly above, pointing directly down on the box. This arrangement of lights ensures that there is no area of the object is more lit up than any other areas, and so there are stark shadows distorting the surface detail.
We arrived at the museum early in the morning as five different objects were to be recorded, which we knew could take up to at least four hours between all of us. We chose a table on which to place the lightbox and set up our equipment. The camera was hooked up to the laptop in order take the pictures remotely, as it was thought that pressing down on the shutter-release button every time to take a picture could potentially cause the camera to shake. We used a Canon E0560D digital camera to take our pictures.
After choosing the vessel I could like to capture and once it was placed in position on the turntable, I inspected the image through the "live feed" on the laptop screen. I noticed that the image was a little dark, so I decided to turn the ISO up a little to 120. I needed to be careful not to turn the ISO up too much, since this could potentially cause the image to go quite grainy and therefore decrease its quality or sharpness. I also noticed that the rim of the vessel furthest from the position of the camera was a little out of focus, and I decided to turn the depth of field up to f22.
During the photographing stage, I was careful to rotate the turntable only a little between each take, maybe by only about 10 degrees each time, since there needs to be at least a 60 percent overlap between each image in order for PhotoScan to triangulate the images correctly. I made sure to capture my vessel from three different height positions. I had to make sure that, at my highest angle, the camera was able to capture the interior of the vessel. I then needed the bowl to be turned upside-down so to get the base, and then to repeat the process, taking the vessel from three different height position, 360 degrees around each time. The photographing process in total took about 40 minutes in total.

(I did not take the picture below; I downloaded a freebie on Pixabay)
I nearly decapitated this sucker paddle-boarding in Oceanside's harbor this afternoon — and when I say nearly decapitated, I mean lightly brushed. I had been ogling a harbor seal lounging on the stern swim platform of, what appeared to be, an expensive yacht, while simultaneously questioning what yacht owner would permit a seal on its stern, when I paddle-boarded over a Western Grebe. The Grebe was unaffected by my paddle parting of the sea, a consequence of being donated fish scraps by local fisherman. The seal was also unaffected, barely open its nictitating membrane to glance at me. I, however and in contrast, was affected, nearly toppling into the harbor.

Easter Reminder
This Saturday, before Easter Sunday we wanted to have a chance to remind everyone of the meaning of Easter in our small Anaheim neighborhood. So we grilled some hot dogs, played some Christian music and gave away some toys and kids' clothes to anyone who came by. And every visitor also got a bilingual brochure with the salvation message and a small Book of John in Spanish. …The first person to come over early in the morning to get some toys for his kids was actually one of the young guys from the gang who threatened us soon after we moved here. He came over with a big smile and left with some toys for his toddlers and the salvation message. We made friends. He and one of the other toughest guys also say hi to us kindly lately. I'm glad, but I still feel a little "iffy" sometimes. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't… The kids of course stayed to play till late afternoon. We talked about God, Jesus, Easter, creation and resurrection. God is good!

Memorandum Preceding Letter to George Wythe, January 1776, 21 July 1811
July 21. 1811.
In the beginning of the year 1776 There was printed, at Phyladelphia, a Pamphlet under the Title of Thoughts on Government in a Letter from a Gentleman to his Friend, if memory serves me. The Gentleman was Mr John Adams <
and his> then a Member of Congress < and his Friend> now President of the United States and his Friend was Mr George Wythe then a Member of Congress from Virginia and now Chancellor of that State. The Constitution of New York was formed soon after the Publication of those Thoughts and was framed conformably to the general Spirit of them. This Same Pamphlet fell into the hands of Some Gentlemen of Essex, who < convened> assembled a kind of County Convention, and drew up a result in general < unfavourable> agreable to the Principles of it, but as it was then published without the Authors name, they did not judge it necessary to give Credit for their Obligations to it. The Essex pamphlet was published in 1779 a little before the Convention for framing the Constitution of Massachusetts, and is a Work of Merit. The Essex Junto however, need not be so vain glorious as to arrogate to themselves The honor of being the < Authors> Founders of the Massachusetts Constitution.

Initial impressions of being over-complicated and perhaps unreliable meant Bluetooth got off to a slow start back in the early 2000s. Now, it enables an increasing number of connected devices, but which version is right for your application? By Karl Torvmark, Head of Strategic Marketing, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, Texas Instruments.
The Bluetooth 4.0 specification - commonly known to as Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) or Bluetooth Smart - brought a new form of Bluetooth technology to consumers; developed to enable new types of Bluetooth devices in areas where it hadn't previously been widely adopted for reasons of battery life or cost. But now, with three 'flavours' of Bluetooth available, it's not always immediately obvious which is the best option to use for a given product.
Bluetooth LE started out as 'Bluetooth lite' inside of Nokia's research labs in the mid-2000s, and was envisioned as a way of bringing Bluetooth to simpler, less powerful devices. Initially Nokia, together with a number of other companies, put together an industry alliance around this technology and christened it Wibree. However, a year or so later, it became clear that it made the most sense to develop this technology inside the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), and the technology was handed over to them. At this point the technology became known as Ultra-low Power Bluetooth, and would eventually be re-christened Bluetooth Low Energy (LE). This technology was included in the Bluetooth v4.0 specification when that was released in 2010.
This has led to several distinct, but inter-linked versions of Bluetooth. As such, those without an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the technology assume that Bluetooth Smart lowers power consumption for all types of Bluetooth usage, which is incorrect. The benefits of Bluetooth Smart only apply to devices that actually make use of the low energy features, and only in certain use cases.
The current state of Smart
Since its development Bluetooth LE has been integrated into a wide range of devices including heart-rate monitors, watches, smart meters, peripherals and many more (some of which are featured at the Bluetooth SIG's Bluetooth Smart product showcase pages (www.Bluetooth.com/Pages/Bluetooth-Smart-Devices.aspx). Similarly, Bluetooth Smart is commonly supported in new mobile phones, tablets and PCs ensuring a healthy ecosystem for the technology.
From a consumer perspective, Bluetooth devices incorporating Bluetooth LE technology are branded using the 'Bluetooth Smart' and 'Bluetooth Smart Ready' monikers. These do not necessarily correspond directly to the technical categories, but rather have their own definitions rooted in the consumer experience. Bluetooth Smart Ready devices are generally those that support connections from a Bluetooth Smart device — for instance a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Bluetooth Smart devices are Bluetooth low energy-based devices that communicate with Bluetooth Smart Ready devices; for instance a heart-rate monitor or smartwatch. One important thing to note is that Bluetooth Smart devices by definition can only communicate with Bluetooth Smart Ready devices, and not with Bluetooth devices based on previous versions of the technology.
The intention is that when the consumer purchases a Bluetooth Smart device, he or she will know that this will work with other devices bearing the Bluetooth Smart Ready logo, but not with devices only bearing the regular Bluetooth logo. From a technical perspective, there are essentially three different types of devices: 'Classic' Bluetooth, Bluetooth 'dual-mode' (aka Smart Ready) and Bluetooth 'single-mode' (aka Smart).
The first is the 'classic' Bluetooth device as mentioned earlier. These are typically those devices that need a maintained and often high-throughput connection. In these cases, Bluetooth LE does not provide much benefit, and these will probably remain Bluetooth 'classic' devices for the foreseeable future.
Figure 1: An array of examples of Bluetooth LE devices, driven by TI technology
Then there are 'dual-mode' devices, which can communicate with both 'classic' and Smart devices. These devices do not gain any benefit of the power consumption improvements enabled by Bluetooth low energy, as they still need to conform to the requirements of legacy Bluetooth devices, but they are an important part of the overall ecosystem. These are usually the hub devices that a Bluetooth device will connect to, such as a computer, a tablet or a smartphone.
The third and perhaps most interesting category are the 'single-mode' devices, which support Bluetooth LE only. Although these devices can't communicate directly with Bluetooth 'classic' devices, they have the advantage of being highly optimised for Bluetooth LE.
In essence, Bluetooth LE has been optimised for use-cases that have a relatively low duty-cycle. For example, a heart rate belt may stay connected for several hours during a long work-out, but it only needs to transmit a few bytes every second, so in an optimised protocol, the radio would be on for less than a millisecond. Compare this to a headset, car stereo or wireless speaker, where the amount of data is measured in the hundreds of kB per second and the radio might be on for a double-digit percentage of the time. The original Bluetooth specification was designed to do general-purpose wireless data transmission, and has been successfully adapted to other use-cases such as input devices and wireless audio. Bluetooth low energy was designed to address use cases that the original Bluetooth specification is less suited for, and therefore extend the overall addressable market for Bluetooth.
Markets for Bluetooth Smart
Thanks to this optimisation, Bluetooth LE has seen good adoption in the sports and fitness space. It also has great promise in medical and health-care, in novel new use-cases such as proximity tags, beacons, computer peripherals and remote user interfaces. In recent months we have seen the rise of a new breed of 'connected' devices based on Bluetooth LE, including home automation and smart metering, a raft of smartwatches, proximity tags, activity monitoring and even a toothbrush.
Another growing application for Bluetooth Smart is as an enabler of the so-called 'Internet of Things'. Rather than being directly connected to the Internet, Bluetooth Smart devices interface to the Internet through ubiquitous Bluetooth Smart Ready devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. The main benefit of this approach is that the wireless devices can be simpler, lower cost and lower power than devices that would interface to the Internet directly (either through GSM/3G/LTE or WiFi connections). Also, no extra infrastructure is required; the users already have the equipment needed to interface Bluetooth Smart devices to the Internet.
In order to achieve this level of optimisation, Bluetooth LE differs from 'classic' Bluetooth right down to the physical layers. The Bluetooth LE PHY is a slimmed-down and optimised version of the Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR) PHY. While the BR PHY hops over 79 channels (although this can be reduced down to a minimum of 20 channels through adaptive frequency hopping) and performs discovery on 32 channels, the Bluetooth LE PHY only has 37 channels and does discovery on three channels.
Since Bluetooth LE has a lot fewer channels to go through when doing discovery, the process is much quicker, and a connection can be set up within a few milliseconds rather than the couple of seconds required in 'classic' Bluetooth. Similarly, the channel spacing of Bluetooth LE is 2MHz in contrast to BR's 1MHz, this has the effect of reducing demands on RF filtering.
Figure 2: The relationship between Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready devices (Source: Bluetooth SIG)
Moving up the stack we see that Bluetooth LE connections are essentially similar to BR's so-called sniff sub-rating mode. This provides Bluetooth LE with an energy-efficient way of maintaining connections while keeping the radio off as much as possible. Not immediately apparent from the Bluetooth specifications is the fact that the relaxed requirements allow IC vendors to do a lot of optimisations that are difficult or impossible to make with 'classic' Bluetooth, lowering sleep and active currents and shortening switching times. These optimisations enable single-mode chips to be lower power, simpler and lower cost than dual-mode or classic chips.
There are also differences at the profile layer. Bluetooth low energy profiles so far are all layered over GATT, using the GATT/ATT protocol to exchange data. In 'classic' Bluetooth, profiles often define their own protocols. This is more flexible, but renders the implementation more complex and increases the amount of code that needs to run, increasing complexity. With all this in mind, the question can be raised about what version is best suited for a given product.
When it comes to choosing between dual-mode and single-mode ICs or system-on-chips (SoCs), it depends on what application you are targeting. If you need to communicate with 'classic' devices, then the choice is simple; you need to use a dual-mode device. If you have flexibility on both sides of the link, then the most important criteria are determined by what and how much data you are moving over the wireless link. If you are moving a lot of data or streaming media, then you should go with a 'classic' solution.
If you are only transmitting smaller amounts of data then Bluetooth low energy may be a better choice. Bluetooth low energy can provide very long battery life when used in the types of use-cases it was designed for. For example, a sensor communicating with a phone once every second 24/7 may last for more than a year on a CR2032 coin cell. Power consumption (and therefore battery life) scales with the communication period used. Bluetooth LE supports communication periods of between 7.5 milliseconds and 16 seconds. The 16 second limit is related to a communications time-out; if longer times are needed, it is possible to drop the connection and then reconnect every time as needed.
SoC solutions
For single-mode ICs, the industry is moving to ICs that can implement all the functionality in a sensor-type device except the sensing element itself. For 'classic' and dual-mode, newer ICs are generally dual-mode rather than 'classic', so from a hardware perspective, the choice will often be made for you. That said, certain application-specific devices might continue to be BR only if the applications they target do not make use of Bluetooth LE. From a software perspective, many commonly-available Bluetooth stacks include low energy support at this point, although again, there may be some that will not.
Figure 3: Comparison of Bluetooth low energy (left) and Bluetooth 'classic' (right) architecture
Other factors may also play a role. For example, if you want your device to be able to communicate with iOS-based devices, then Bluetooth low energy may be an easier way to achieve that. Apple currently requires any 'classic' devices that support anything other than a set of pre-defined profiles to be certified under the MFI program. For Bluetooth LE devices there are no such restrictions, and an iOS app running on a reasonably modern Apple device can use a GATT-based API to communicate with Bluetooth LE devices. Similarly, most recent Android devices support Bluetooth v4.0 and Windows 8 has full Bluetooth v4.0 support.
A final factor to consider is the ease of development and availability of development tools and documentation. Some single-mode Bluetooth LE vendors provide royalty-free software stacks with all documentation openly available from a web site. In the 'classic' Bluetooth space, it is more common to charge royalties for the protocol stack and keep datasheets and other technical documentation under NDA.
Whether you call it Bluetooth Smart, Low Energy or LE, with Bluetooth v4.0, designers have another tool in their toolbox; one that opens up a range of new possibilities for connected devices and ease-of-use.
This choice builds on the massive success of Bluetooth in the short-range wireless market and enables new applications to make use of Bluetooth technology through lower power consumption, lower complexity and lower cost.

This week's dream: Luxuriating in Jordan's ancient and otherworldly delights
"Nothing, but nothing, can prepare you for the wonder that is Petra," said Alice Brudenell-Bruce in the Financial Times. Carved from the pink sandstone cliffs of Jordan's southwestern desert 2,100 years ago, Petra is an ancient city of majestic temples and tombs that you reach after walking in darkness through a long, narrow mountain passageway. At my side as I step into the sunlight is Konstantinos Politis, one of the world's preeminent archaeologists—there because my visit was arranged by the bespoke tour operator Cazenove + Loyd. Politis conjures up the city's lively past, telling me of the Bedouin who once trekked for weeks across the desert to trade frankincense here. And I am only beginning my nine-day group tour through Jordan, one of the most welcoming countries in the Arab world.
The tour operator has extraordinary pull in Jordan, as our group discovers when we arrive at the Royal Stables, home to 88 of the royal family's purebred Arabian horses.
In an arena of emerald grass, several past prizewinners are trotted out before us, and each steed is more elegant than the last. For the finale, a gray stallion named Jamil prances proudly around the ring, "somehow hovering midair between strides." Outside, another surprise awaits: a gleaming parade of vintage automobiles from the late King Hussein's personal collection. I leap into a 1932 Morris Cowley Tourer, and we drive to the Royal Automobile Museum in Amman for a private tour.
The next day, we head south to the Mars-like landscape of the Wadi Rum. "It's easy to forget to breathe as you enter the desert: pink sandstone mountains pierce a cloudless, crystalline sky, the wind-carved monolithic rocks displaying nature's artistry." At our luxurious campsite, Discovery Bedu, we feast on a traditional dinner of zarb—lamb baked in a drum beneath the sand until it slips off the bone. In the morning, a hot-air balloon lifts us skyward, "above the vast burnt ochre and shadowy blue of the desert." More wonders await us at the Dead Sea, where the shore, at 1,410 feet below sea level, is the lowest point on Earth's surface. It's "another nothing-canprepare- you-for-it moment": We're floating like corks on the saline water as the air above "twinkles with evaporated crystals." Tours of Jordan with Cazenove + Loyd (cazloyd.com) start at $4,560 a person. ■

Introducing the Transfer Essay A "Personal Statement"
Don't let a scary entrance intimidate you. Drive slowly, be patient, and watch out for dips along the way. You can get through your transfer essays following the same advice.
The required Apply Texas Essay A "Personal Statement" reads:
"The statement of purpose will provide an opportunity to explain any extenuating circumstances that you feel could add value to your application. You may also want to explain unique aspects of your academic background or valued experiences you may have had that relate to your academic discipline. The statement of purpose is not meant to be a listing of accomplishments in high school or a record of your participation in school-related activities. Rather, this is your opportunity to address the admission committee directly and to let us know more about you as an individual, in a manner that your transcripts and the other application information cannot convey."
Reviewers have a higher standard for transfer applicants than first-time freshman. You will have spent at least a year after high school. Some applicants will have many years of post-high school experience under their belts.
Your essays should reflect this additional experience and, hopefully, maturity. Think of the expectations for essay quality as something between a high school senior writing about what they think they may want to study (hint: most don't really know, and that's okay.) and a prospective doctoral or medical school candidate discussing what they want to research.
As a transfer applicant, you should have a more clear vision of where you have come from, where you currently are, and where you want to go. You will presumably have less time to complete your four-year degree than someone entering as a first-time freshman.
UT admissions reviewers expect you to identify resources in classrooms, on campus, and in the city of Austin that appeals to your specific goals and ambitions. Since you have already taken at least some college level courses, it may be important to identify and describe one or two that inform your chosen major.
You should also highlight particular characteristics that highlight your story and may set you apart from other applicants. Since there are no standardized exams or a class rank to quantitatively compare you to other applicants, it is particularly important to use your personal statement as an opportunity to stand apart from the pack.

In Europe a hotel stay doesn't have to mean cookie cutter rooms in a boring hotel. On the contrary, it's not hard to find yourself a room in a castle! Castle stays can range from castles that have been transformed into hostels to luxurious digs fit for royalty.
My husband and I met in Nebraska; not too many castles there! Our next stop was Okinawa, Japan and although Asia has castles too they aren't the kind with turrets we might typically think of. When we found out we were coming to Europe, staying in a castle was something topping our European to-do list.
Our first castle get-away was for my birthday weekend and we reserved ourselves a room in Berg Schnellenberg in Attendorn in northern Germany. The beautiful pictures online of the castle, grounds and the surrounding area, attracted us. We booked online through Hotels.com. It seems like they are not currently taking reservations through Hotels.com, but you can book directly by calling them (number below) or online.
Arriving at the castle hotel is pretty dramatic. After exiting the autobahn, we drove through thick forests and steep hills. After a final turn, we could see the castle ahead. We parked outside the now dry moat and walked into the castle grounds. We found the reception hall and the cheerful front desk clerk greeted us, quickly switched to English, and then showed us to our room.
Our room was in the standard category or Speigel-Zimmer (Mirror room). It was a large room with a nice view of the small lake and nearby forest. The headboard of the bed was carved with the castle's crest.
There are five categories of rooms from the small standard to the tower rooms and suites. The current prices for double occupancy range from €120.00 – €220.00 per night with breakfast and wellness center included. There are seasonal specials which can be found on the Burg Schnellenberg website.
We took a few hikes from the castle into the labyrinth of trails in the surrounding area. The first time we stayed nearby the castle and the second time we hiked down the hill into the town of Attendorn. We could have hiked for days, and the when they originally converted the castle into a hotel it was the owner's intention to cater to those hiking on all the trails in the area.
We ended up using our time hiking instead of in the wellness center. Entrance into the wellness center, spa area, the sauna and the solarium are included with the hotel price. Extras like massages and facials are extra.
We enjoyed a beautiful dinner in the hotel's Rittersaal or knights' hall. The vaulted ceilings and candlelight reminded us that we were in a castle as we enjoyed a very tasty dinner. There were both set menus and a la carte choices. I had a set menu with a pumpkin soup, Asian flavored fish main dish and a torte and fruit dessert. My husband enjoyed a steak with a potato side dish. We reserved a table for dinner when we checked in and then billed it to our room and paid for the dinner when we checked out.
In the morning we enjoyed the breakfast included with our room price. I have to say that German-style hotel breakfasts are one of my favorites! Lots of bread, cheese, meat, eggs, coffee, tea and juice! Lecher!
The Burg Schnellenberg website has the tag line "Wohnen wie die Burgherren" or "Live like the lords." So if you want to get your royal life going, check out a castle hotel!

Spotlight Thoughts
If you've been following the 2015 Awards race you've probably heard of Spotlight and might be interested in seeing it. That's how I felt when I heard of Spotlight and it's cast. I've always had iffy feelings about Tom McCarthy, most of the times his movies get good reviews but they always fail to captivate me. Funny enough, McCarthy also had released another movie this year which got atrocious reviews. Anyway I thought I'd give Spotlight a chance because it was garnering praise unlike any of his other films and I have to say I'm disappointed. It's not an awful movie but it's not the great movie it's being made out to be.
Spotlight's biggest merit is that it takes a very serious topic and spreads awareness on it. I wasn't aware of how bad priest molestation cases were until I saw Spotlight. That's feigns ignorance on my part but I'm glad Spotlight alerted to me how bad on the situation was. But Spotlight doesn't accomplish anything more than a documentary could have. Spotlight benefits from great performances from its talented cast and it's very detailed in its script about the cases but it's also heavily lacking in story. The characters themselves feel underdeveloped (besides Mark Ruffalo & Michael Keaton) There's a few character moments for the others but in the wide spectrum of the film, it's very miniscule.
Spotlight suffers from terrible pacing, unremarkable directing and it feels like it's withholding itself from being something more. It's very mellow. It has the same problem the second half of Bridge of Spies did. We all know how it'll end but there's no journey towards the conclusion. All we're getting is a scenes of a wikipedia summary on a bigger issue. We never see the big impact on the community and Tom McCarthy doesn't do any favors to make the movie interesting. It suffers from lackluster cinematography, it has a really lame score and at parts I didn't even feel like this film took place in Boston. McCarthy relies too much on the sensitive topic to entrap viewers but again why would anyone want to watch Spotlight for information only? It's only cliff notes of a bigger issue. I rather watch a documentary that informs me more or do my own research. I kept finding myself comparing Spotlight to Zodiac which was far more captivating and better directed. Zodiac kept peaking your curiosity, Spotlight kind of does nothing.
I found Spotlight to be offensive a tad bit. Some of the movie felt like an attack on Catholicism and might eschew audience's views on the religion. I"m not Catholic or Christian but I feel all religions deserve respect and Spotlight constantly makes it out to be that Catholicism & sex abuse are the same. It's like they want you to be ashamed to be Catholic. At times Spotlight feels manipulative, it takes a very sensitive topic and tries to appeal to you but the makers of the movie rely on topic than building a foundation for a good movie. I'm glad Spotlight informed me about a huge problem going on but at the end, it's not a movie I'd even want to revisit. Nothing is striking about the movie, it's very bland and you're better off watching a documentary or reading about the priest molestation cases in Boston. I'm happy that the victims finally got a movie that stood up for them but Spotlight is so lazy that it's disrespectful. The creators of Spotlight should take notice from movies like The Big Short & Zodiac on how to captivate audiences but inform them at the same time.

Holiday? HoliDANGER! (Introduction)
Be it familial, financial, or work related, the end of the year can present its share of holiday fueled pressure. But unnerving as it can be, most of us escape being shot at by rogue androids and avoid getting trapped in the path of giant monsters (at least for now). Many fictional folks, however, have to deal with precisely these kinds of problems - and worse. Some may see these genre movie crises unfold onscreen and feel relief that their own seasonal problems are comparatively insignificant. Others may envy this simpler breed of struggle, preferring a fight with a ten ton insect to enduring a relative's political declarations. If watching the misfortune of someone caught in the claws of some misbegotten horror can somehow leaven our own holiday troubles, I thought it would be worthwhile to dive into this land of cinematic carnage now, at a time when most are looking to indulge in any form of distraction.
From now until New Year's Day, I will try to watch and write about as many films as I'm reasonably able, and though I can't promise more than a handful of entries, I might end up posting many, barring some unforeseen circumstance. I will be putting quantity before quality, as much in the interest of experimentation as workload management, and the entries will be more informal and loose than what I typically strive to produce. They will also be brief, no more than a paragraph or two, on average. I will not be watching pure horror films exclusively - there may be supernatural thrillers, science fiction creature features, or anything that contains a singular element of threat or menace that would qualify as a DANGER! Each entry will open with a description of said DANGER, or menace, and I hope to have quite a group assembled by the end.
Wishing you a better than tolerable holiday!

Microsoft Will Let You Use Windows 7 Till 2023, But It Comes With A Cost
Microsoft had released Windows 10 over three years ago. Despite the fact that people are pretty satisfied with its performance, a lot of people still prefer Windows 7. Earlier, Microsoft had announced that the company would kill the support for Windows 7. But, to cater to a horde of Windows 7 users, Microsoft has now decided to extend the support for Windows 7 for at least another five years, that is until January 2023.
However, there's a catch. To meet the cost of security updates, the users of the Windows 7 will have to pay a considerable amount every time the system goes through an update.
On the other hand, if you buy Windows 10 exclusively, it will eventually cost you more. Therefore, unless you are buying a new system altogether, it is suggested to stick to the available version. Microsoft can mint a lot of money by extending paid security support, as a lot of Indian users are still relying on Windows 7. Reportedly, over 38 percent of the systems worldwide still run Windows 7. And not just Windows 7, people still continue to use their systems with Windows XP. In fact, according to a 2016 report, 70 percent of the 2 lakh ATMs in India were using Windows XP.
Those who don't want to pay the extended security update can also continue using Windows 7. But, they won't receive the updates. This might result in the system being open to security vulnerabilities and other issues. Some people are suspecting that it is a ploy to boost the sales of Windows 10. Some are of the belief that this is a step in the right direction. Because in the past, Windows XP's extra-long lifespan created some series security issues.
On one hand, the small amount paid for the extended support seems feasible for the Windows 7 users. But, for Microsoft, it will be more profitable if the users switch to Windows 10.

Booty Burn Day 1
Here we go ladies! The week of some booty work!
I want this short 3-part series to be a supplement to the program you are working on (hopefully you are already consistent with The Female's Ultimate Guide to Fitness). This week's series will just be a little addition to add in some extra booty work, cuz c'mon, we could always find a way to improve those booties ;)
Wide Squat with Dumbbells: 12 REPS
- Widen your feet, point your toes out & keep the weight in your heels as you squat down & back up. Exhale on your way up. If possible, add some dumbbells or other type of weight to challenge yourself!
Squat with 3 pulses at bottom: 6 REPS
- Keep your feet about shoulder width apart, shift your weight back & sit in your heels. Complete 3 small pulses at the bottom of your squat, then squeeze your gluts, exhale & come back up.
Jump Squats: 12 REPS
- Squat back & explode out of your heels as you power up & jump. Land softly on your toes, then back to your heels.
Reverse Lunge + Glut Extension: 6 REPS (each side), 12 total
- Lunge back keeping your front knee over your ankle, flex your back toe towards that same knee & use your glut to extend the leg up to just about 30 degrees from the ground. Repeat on the other side, alternating back and forth.
I recommend doing this at the end of your workout. Finish 3 sets of the above & that's it!

2017 has been busy for Dexters, as demonstrated by the 27,000 viewing appointments we book on average every month. Investment interest remains strong; first time buyers are out in high numbers looking to buy and traditional family areas are very busy.
London's property market has slowed dramatically with prices rising at their slowest rate for nearly five years, according to latest official figures. The average cost of a home in the capital rose just 3.7 per cent to £474,704 in the year to February and actually slipped slightly in January, the latest data from the Land Registry reveals. In four boroughs prices are now falling year on year and double digit growth - the norm for much of London last year - is now confined to Havering and Kensington & Chelsea. The data suggests that the slowdown that started in the most expensive central areas following sharp increases in stamp duty is now finally spreading out to the suburbs.
