Debate night! So not watching it on CNN, where I'll have to listen to dumb-ass commentators. I guess if you have HDTV you'd be able to see their reactions real time! Joy.
I think I can catch it on CSPAN, where they just play it without people bothering you.
ETA: John McCain is so effing disrespectful. I hate his damn smirk - it's like George Bush all over.
I missed the first 20 minutes because I guess C-Span is stupid after all.
ETA 2: Where's McCain's flag pin? Doesn't that make him "un-American"?

I heart Josh Lyman.
So Bradley Whitford seriously needs to star in a new show on television. Because he is that awesome.
Too bad Studio 60 got all weird and moved away from the relationship it should have been focusing on, that of Whitford's and Matthew Perry's characters (or just Whitford, that's fine with me), and started up with some stupid romances.
"Danny began working at Studio 60 as a segment producer, working his way up to become a co-executive producer. He resigned in 2002 as a display of support for the firing of his friend Matt Albie and went on to direct a critically acclaimed film penned by Matt. The two proceed to watch each other's back, Matt's decision to go back to Studio 60 is a show of support to Danny, because Danny is a recovering drug addict, Danny relapsed in 2006 after eleven years of sobriety. He tested positive for cocaine use in an insurance physical, and as a result cannot get bonded as a director until he has been drug-free for eighteen months."
So much wasted potential on that show. Whitford playing a recovering drug addict? And that friendship between the two male lead characters? I mean, come on.

They socialize the losses; privatize the profits.
We don't have money to fix Social Security or Medicare or provide health care and take care of our veterans, but here we are bailing out effing Wall Street and MILLIONAIRES.
It's bullshit.
I did try to look at how my Roth IRA account was affected but a) I don't care much because I won't need this money for decades, so it doesn't really matter for me and b) I couldn't make any sense of it anyway.
Luckily, when my dad switched jobs, he had to wait a while to do something with his 401K from his previous employer. So right now it's sitting in the safest place possible. Whew.

"Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters"
Okay, I am loving Bob Dylan at the moment. I always love him, but now I'm listening to him about 24/7, especially the albums Nashville Skyline, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and all the bootlegs with Johnny Cash (two of my favorite people ever, together!)
It's sad that so many of Dylan's lyrics are still relevant to many situations today.
So every sports team I follow basically got slaughtered this week. My old high school got killed; they didn't even make it on the scoreboard.
The Browns better win today, or this rivalry with the Steelers isn't even a rivalry. It's a dominance. To be a rivalry, there has to actually be COMPETITION.
My brother and our friend watched The Ohio State Buckeyes play in a bar last night. Oy vey. That was just embarrassing, too. Our best player was injured and didn't play, though, and it's always best to lose early in the season.
Yeah. An employee at the bar last night was incredibly rude, unprofessional, and lacked decent customer service. I think he was the night manager, which makes it worse. I don't want to get into the specifics, but let's say he lied to our face about what we could use a discount on, and refused to grant it at the end of the night; charged us for drinks the guys didn't order; and our bill was messed up in other ways, too. I say he had poor customer service because none of the things were corrected. So I wrote in a letter of complainant to the corporate office, and someone better respond, because it's the principle of the thing.

The women on The View slaughtered John McCain today. They're better journalists than the actual media - except for Elisabeth. She's just ignorant.
I'm impressed. They shot down all of his, okay, a lot of it, bull like whoah.
Barbara pointed out that Palin sold her plane at a loss and that McCain also used the lipstick on the pig line, they pressed him to name one of her reforms and he couldn't, and they pointed out that Palin has accepted earmarks. And they called his ads lies.
They talked about separation of church and state, Roe vs. Wade. He gave some bullshit answer, and Barbara said that's an answer from someone who wants to overturn it. People in the audience were pissed when he then admitted Roe vs. Wade shouldn't have happened.
More on the interview.
I'm just impressed that they stood up to him and weren't afraid to ask him anything they felt like.

Look at the Date, redux.
I was looking through some old posts on here, and remembering what date today is, I thought it'd be appropriate to repost this snippet from an entry on Monday, Sept. 11, 2006:
- Look at the Date.
I haven't watched any of the memorials or human interest stories or "how the U.S. has changed" or etc. (the polite term for it) segments on the television this week. I just...don't want to. Too many emotions would come from them, bad or good. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch any of those movies dealing with September 11th.
It just feels surreal still. I can't believe what happened. I can't believe what terrorists and OUR OWN government have done to us. I can't even read lj entries about it because I never know if they will make me want to cry or throw something--either at the media or the government or the poster. Wow. I think I just realized George W. Bush makes me angrier than terrorists. Maybe because they are abstract and so far away and Bush is supposed to be HELPING us, not making everything so much, much worse.
But I did watch Ellen today, and she had a segment about a woman, Ann Nelson, who died in one of the World Trade Center Towers. A while after she died, her parents found her Life List on her computer. (Ellen has been all about life lists this season: those lists where you write down everything you want to do/be in life.) Ann's story has been in The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, etc., and she has inspired people to keep their own life list (one such woman was also on Ellen, with Ann's parents). Her list was all about bettering herself and the people around her, not superficial things like "own a car" (which might actually be a big thing for some people).
I don't know what is was about her and her story. It was her picture, her parents, her love of life, the woman she inspired and what she told Ann's parents, the shots of her actual list...But my mom and I looked at each other, and my mom was crying, and I said, "I know! I feel like crying!" and then I started crying and...even if I had spent all day watching stories about 9/11, no other story would have touched me as much.
I tried to find something online about her with no luck.
I should make a Life List...but I'm almost afraid to. Like I'm afraid I'll never accomplish anything on it. I don't even know what I'd put on it.
ETA: I found The New York Times's article! Read it below.

About New York
Hope, Saved on a Laptop
By DAN BARRY
For a long time, Ann Nelson's laptop computer remained dark.
It had been returned to her family in North Dakota, along with the other belongings she left behind in that great city 1,750 miles to the east. She was 30, lively, working near the very top of the World Trade Center, and — you already know.
In the small town of Stanley, halfway between Minot and Williston, a fog thick enough to blur time's passing enveloped the Nelson home. Amid the many tributes to Ann, amid the grieving and the absence, it became hard to remember just when and how the laptop wound up in the basement of the one-story bank that the family owned.
There the laptop sat, for years, tucked away from sight in a black case. It was a Dell Inspiron 8000, bought shortly before Ann called home that day in early 2001 to say she had gotten a job as a bond trader at Cantor Fitzgerald — in New York! Soon she was living near the corner of Thompson and Spring, and working in an office 104 stories in the air.
Ann's parents, Jenette and Gary Nelson, say the laptop remained unopened because they are not computer savvy. But it was more than that, Mrs. Nelson admits. "To tell you the truth, it was just too painful."
Three summers ago, during an art class Mrs. Nelson was teaching in that basement, a couple of students showed her how to use the computer. After the class, she says, "I just left it there."
Who knows why never becomes someday, and someday becomes today. One day last fall — "when I got to feeling stronger," she says — Mrs. Nelson finally opened her daughter's computer. She pushed its power button and started by looking at the photographs stored in its memory.
Soon Mrs. Nelson was learning how to play the computer's games, including solitaire and hearts. These distractions both relaxed her and reminded her of the games she used to play with Ann. Somehow, this little black machine made Ann seem present, there beside her.
Getting lost in the computer became part of Mrs. Nelson's after-work ritual, though she never bothered to open a file that said "Top 100″; probably some music, she figured. Then, two months ago and who knows why, click.
What she found was a catalog of goals, humanly incomplete: a list that reflected a young woman's commitment to the serious, to the frivolous, to all of life. That night, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson sat down with the list, and were with their daughter again.
1. Be healthy/ healthful. 2. Be a good friend. 3. Keep secrets. 4. Keep in touch with people I love and that love me. 5. Make a quilt.
Mrs. Nelson used to sew all the time, until it simply became too hard to guide a needle properly with a joyous little girl frolicking in her lap. Then, when Ann grew older, mother and daughter decided to sew a tablecloth.
"I don't think we ever finished," Mrs. Nelson says, laughing. "She had to be doing 100 things at a time, and consequently some of them didn't get finished."
As for this goal of making a quilt, she adds, "I'm sure that I would probably have been deeply involved in this process."
6. Nepal. 7. Buy a home in North Dakota. 8. Get a graduate degree. 9. Learn a foreign language. 10. Kilimanjaro. 11. Never be ashamed of who I am.
"Ann was in many environments where being a girl from North Dakota may not have been the most sophisticated label to wear," Mrs. Nelson says, recalling that her daughter had traveled to China and to Peru, and had worked in the high-powered environments of Chicago and New York.
Even so, Ann always conveyed pride in who she was, who her parents were and where they came from — though never in a boastful way. "It's an important point about her personality," her mother says.
12. Be a person to be proud of. 13. Always keep improving. 14. Read every day. 15. Be informed. 16. Knit a sweater. 17. Scuba-dive in the Barrier Reef. 18. Volunteer for a charity. 19. Learn to cook.
By her late 20's, Ann had actually become a fairly decent cook. Still, her mother laughs in recalling late-night calls, like the one that began: "Mom, what's drawn butter?"
20. Learn about art. 21. Get my C.F.A. 22. Grand Canyon. 23. Helicopter-ski with my dad.
Then Ann Nelson's list repeats a number.
23. Spend more time with my family. 24. Remember birthdays!!!!
Birthdays loomed large in Ann's life. She would celebrate her birthday not for a day, but for a week — in part because her father's birthday came the very next day, in part because she was proud to have been born on Norwegian Independence Day — which is May 17, today.
"Ann would have been 35," says Mr. Nelson, who turns 65 tomorrow.
25. Appreciate money, but don't worship it. 26. Learn how to use a computer. 27. Visit the New York Public Library. 28. Maine. 29. Learn to write. 30. Walk — exercise but also see the world firsthand. 31. Learn about other cultures. 32. Be a good listener. 33. Take time for friends. 34. Kayak. 35. Drink water. 36. Learn about wine.
Ann was supposed to attend a wine class the evening of Sept. 11, in keeping with Nos. 13, 19, 31, 36 — the whole list, really.
After 36, there is a 37, but it is blank.
Mr. Nelson reads the list as an inventory of his daughter's values. "You don't see any Corvettes in the garage or any of those material things you might expect from someone that age," he says. "She recognized that you appreciate a few things and kind of live your life wisely."
Mrs. Nelson interprets the list as another way in which Ann seems to communicate with her when she is most in need. So, just about every day in a small North Dakota town, halfway between Minot and Williston, the screen of a laptop computer goes from darkness to light.

"There ain't no reasons things are this way."
About a year ago, I discovered folk/pop singer-songwriter Brett Dennen. I love him. I love his voice, and I love his lyrics, filled with social commentary. (Although, I admit he looks nothing like I thought he would!) Some of his songs really speak to me, particularly: "Ain't No Reason," "There is So Much More," and "I Asked When."

May not seem a lot to anyone else, but I achieved my highest score ever on Bookworm today!
Rank 21 - Wordmaster
My best word was "panty," at 2,790 points. That's embarrassing!
And I'm a bit annoyed with Bookworm. It didn't recognize some of the words I tried to play, although they are certainly words, just maybe not words people should say.

Today I donated $80 to the Barack Obama campaign and $20 to MoveOn.org. I can't donate thousands of dollars like some people (I'm always amazed at comments on AMERICAblog about people donating that much), but I figured EVERYONE should contribute what they can, even if its $10 to $20. It makes a difference and adds up.
If you've been reading news online, you'd know that the Obama campaign needs donations, in part because of the way its rejected using public financing. The campaign relies on donations from people like us.
From The New York Times: "After months of record-breaking fund-raising, a new sense of urgency in Senator Barack Obama's fund-raising team is palpable as the full weight of the campaign's decision to bypass public financing for the general election is suddenly upon it."

Maverick? Must be opposite day (or year, since it's not like anyone in the media challenges him on it...)
QUESTION from MATTHEWS: Are you proud of the work and the work and the leadership of the commander in chief in this war?
MCCAIN: Yes I am. I think the President has led with great clarity and I think he's done a great job leading the country, don't you all? [MSNBC, Hardball College Tour, 4/23/03]
MCCAIN: The President and I agree on most issues. There was a recent study that showed I voted with the President over 90 percent of the time, higher than a lot of my even Republican colleagues. [Fox News Channel, 5/22/03]
MCCAIN: The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed, and on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I have been totally in agreement and support of President Bush. [Meet the Press, 6/19/05]

From AMERICAblog:
- McCain campaign: Palin won't do any interviews, she's just going to read speeches from now on
Okay, if it looks bad when a small-town official refuses to grant interviews, then it's gottb be a catastrophe when someone who is running for VICE PRESIDENT refuses.

Oh, the Republicans can pretend in public that they like the pick of Sarah Palin, but you know they're really as irritated as the rest of us.
As a segment with Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan - both conservatives - were caught on a live mic ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin.
"It's over," said Noonan.
She then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen.
"The most qualified? No. I think they went for this - excuse me - political bullshit about narratives," she said. "Everytime Republicans do that - because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it."
Murphy said, "The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."

The family and I went to the Great Geauga County Fair this Labor Day weekend (and that is the official name!).
We always go to the Democrat booth to get stickers, signs, and the like. No signs this year! Bummer. And we had to pay for stickers and buttons, when usually they're free.
I did buy some buttons, mine just says "Obama '08" with the campaign symbol and the Web site address. My mom's says "Women for Obama" (she still prefers Hillary, but she says she was just trying to rile me up whenever she defended McCain. Palin firmly pushed her over, though.).
Anyway, mom was, like, "Let's go in the Republican tent!" With our buttons on. I was, like, no, no, we can't do that! She wanted someone to claim that McCain was for women, too, so she could argue with them, I guess (she was mostly kidding).
But we didn't go in. I'm too chicken, I guess, or too polite.
At the fair, it was $5 a bag at the library, so I shoved about 20 books in the bag! Good deal.
All in all, I had a v. nice Labor Day weekend.

Paizo Sells Miniature Singles. Who Knew?
A few weeks back I ranted on here that blind box minis suck and companies should stop that. Then I recently stumbled on the fact that Paizo sells miniature singles on their website. I have no idea how long this has been going on but I'm guessing that I was wrong with my assumption that those selling blind boxes only do so that specific way.
If anyone knows how long they have been selling minis as single let me know. Not every miniature from every set is available. I'd have ordered a few if that was the case. But still...they sell singles!

Some Things I Believe Right Now (#4)
Right now, I believe...
in writing plans in pencil.
in slowing down, especially in the summer.
that not everyone's life and goals look the same and that's just fine.
in freaking out over any and every puppy you encounter.
in getting rid of things you don't use or even like anymore.
in taking care of yourself however you know how to.
in matching sibling tattoos.
What are some things that are true for you right now?

This look was very effortlessly put together, perfect for those rushed afternoons where you have to hop from one place to the next, with very limited time to get ready. The beauty of an oversized jumper is that you can go from slouching around the house (for those snugly days in bed where all you want to do is catch up with your favourite Netflix series – side note, who's up to date with Stranger Things?!), to instantly dressed up with only a couple of accessories!
For today's look, I combined this beautiful blush toned jumper dress with a pair of statement over the knee leather booties, which gives the perfect edge of sexiness to this very cuddly jumper. The two are an unexpected match, but they work very well – the jumper dresses down the boots, while the boots dresses up the jumper, creating the perfect balance. I love how this chunky, swallow-you-whole jumper falls perfectly just over my shoulder for a cute, casual look. And the best part? The jumper is huge. so no one will be able to tell if you're wearing a bra underneath, #FreeTheNip!
I finished off the look with an oversized handbag and a simple white gold necklace.
This outfit is great for a house party, casual drinks with friends at a bar or any other laid-back event this season. Thoughts?
Here are a few more tips on how to style an oversized jumper this season, without looking too casual:
- It's all about keeping it simple! Pair an oversized jumper with denim jeans, ankle boots and a fedora had. Tres chic!
- If you find that a jumper is not quite long enough to be worn on its own, wear it over a slip dress. Bonus points if it has a lace trim, for the perfect touch of glam.
- Can't find the perfect oversized jumper? Buy a jumper 2 -3 sizes larger than your usual dress size, and you're good to go!
- Just imagine – a big jumper, a chunky scarf, leggings and knee high boots – the perfect outfit for this season.
- For a boho vibe, layer your oversized knit on top of a flowy maxi dress. Add a bunch of statement gold bangles to complete the look.
- Wear thigh high boots that go up as far as possible for an oversized jumper that is slightly on the shorter size.

Humidity is horrible.
I think the high temperature in Auckland yesterday was 26°C. It was horrible. Hot and sticky and good for nothing. That would be such a balmy, glorious temperature in Melbourne where the air doesn't hold as much moisture - but here in Auckland, it's just stinking hot.
God I miss air conditioning. It was everywhere in my life when I lived in Aussie. My Summer days over there would start with a cooled, climate controlled morning, followed by air conditioned public transport to air conditioned offices followed by cool, air conditioning in bars, restaurants, and through the night for a rested sleep.
In Auckland? No air conditioning here. Not in my home; not at work; half the buses apologise for the air con not working. It's just horrible.
The humidity stops my brain from working; stops my limbs from moving; the sun crackles my skin but staying inside is too stuffy. The doors and windows thrown open to any puff of wind but barely any airflow at home this weekend or at work any day.
Humidity is horrible.

BERLIN, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Siemens, the world's No.3 maker of wind turbines, expects the global wind power market to more than quadruple by 2030, lifted by strong growth in Asia.
"The market will shift away from Europe significantly," Markus Tacke, chief executive of the German company's Wind Power division, said at a renewable energy conference in Berlin.
He said globally installed wind power capacity would increase to 1,107 gigawatt (GW) in 2030 from 273 GW in 2012, with Asia and the Pacific region accounting for more than 47 percent of the total, up from 34 percent now.
China is pumping billions of euros into wind power, which is more cost-competitive than solar energy and partly able to compete with coal and gas. Wind power subsidies in most parts of Europe are being slowly scaled back.
The Europe and the Middle East (EMEA) region is still the world's largest wind market, with a 40 percent share that will decline to 34 percent by 2030.
Siemens Wind Power, part of the group's Energy division, achieved sales of 3.555 billion euros ($4.76 billion) in the first nine months of Siemens' fiscal year, down 1 percent year on year. It accounted for 6.4 percent of the company's total sales.
Its profit margin for the period stood at 3.6 percent, down from 4.7 percent a year earlier, as the company was forced to book charges because of problems relating to some of its wind turbine rotor blades. ($1 = 0.7461 euros) (Reporting by Christoph Steitz; editing by Tom Pfeiffer)

First Bracketology of February for me, these are games ended Friday, 2/5/2016.
Here is the Bracket:
And the full S-Curve...
Just a few quick notes, I'm going to keep this one pretty short:
Not much happening on the 1-seed line. Frankly, Iowa, Xavier, and even Virginia all have valid claims at the fourth 1 spot. I expect some gaps to emerge as the weeks continue on.
Oregon really should be a 2, but we can't have five 2's, so they stay on the 3-line.
Texas is one of the biggest movers, the Horns are looking very impressive lately, they are 4-2 vs. the Top 25 and 8-6 vs. the Top 100 while owning the 18th highest RPI. Florida too jumped up big time from their 10-seed in the previous bracket.
We have some new entrants with VCU, Florida State, and George Washington. I still think St. Joe's isn't sticking around for too much longer, especially with the resurgence of Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.
Just to get this off my chest real quick - I think it's retarded Louisville has to miss this postseason. This now makes two of the best teams in the country (along with SMU) ineligible for the greatest tournament on Earth. This ban is self-imposed, but the NCAA has set this stupid precedence that if a school "punishes" themselves - usually by instilling a postseason ban - they won't be punished as harshly had they not imposed such sanctions. Louisville made the right choice in terms of doing what's best for the future of their program. In the long run, a postseason ban this year versus losing scholarships sets the school up for a greater chance at success in the future. I get that. But it also punishes players like Damion Lee and Trey Lewis (and the rest of the current Cardinal roster for that matter) who had absolutely ZERO involvement in the incident causing the ban. The NCAA should have set standards to deal with situations like this. Current players should not be punished for the transgressions of past players or coaches. Fine the athletic department, fire a coach, suspend a coach, get rid of players involved - and yes maybe take away a future scholarship - but banning these kids from the postseason is not the right solution and it's sad to see dreams of players get crushed due to the faults of others.

Karly has recently joined me and a growing number of others in the indie/self-publishing world with her brand-new book, Into the Shadows.
Paivi Anderson has it all—friends, a spot on the varsity basketball team, wonderful parents, and quite possibly, her first boyfriend. It was everything a freshman in high school could ask for. Her perfect life begins to crumble when she discovers her name on a list distributed by a power-hungry presidential candidate. How could anyone think of Paivi as an Enemy of the State? Could it be because of her special powers? No one was supposed to know about them, but the mysterious messages in her tater tots say otherwise. In INTO THE SHADOWS, Paivi quickly learns who her friends are and is forced into a reality she didn't see coming.
Karly is a teacher and a mom, living with her family in the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois. She's also pursuing a Master's degree. How she finds the time to do it all, I have no idea. Plus, she also blogs, hangs out at Facebook and on Twitter. Go follow her! And check out her book!
I haven't had a chance to read Into the Shadows yet, but it's definitely on my TBR list. Lucky you – you get a chance to win a copy of Into the Shadows. Just ask Karly a question in the comments and you're entered. I'll randomly pick a winner and announce tomorrow.
*For the Purpose Virtual Release Party, I'm paying it forward by highlighting books and their authors, blogs and their writers, and charities and causes. For a list of those I've featured, stay tuned to the party's page.

The new Golf GTI
The all-new Volkswagen Golf GTI will officially make its debut in Singapore on 6 July 2013 with a launch price of $199,800 including COE.
To date, some 1.9 million Golf GTI cars have been produced at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg and sold worldwide. Back in 1976, when the GTI was invented, no one could have predicted such success. 5,000 units were planned, of a car that is the most successful of its type in the world. A phenomenon.
The first Golf GTI, launched 37 years ago, defined a fundamental standard for dynamic performance that was more precise than any other compact car. The affordable Volkswagen also made automotive sportiness more attainable than ever for people. Everything was simply right about it – the safe and taut chassis, the agile and fuel-efficient injection engine and the car's styling that was as unmistakable as it was timeless.
All of this combined with the insignias of a future icon – a red stripe around the radiator grille, a black border around the rear windscreen, a sport steering wheel like in the Scirocco Coupé, a golf ball as a gear shift grip, ergonomically perfect sport seats with a classic tartan design and a name that would never be forgotten: GTI. Now, the seventh generation GTI has arrived.
100 percent more power. The engine of the first Golf GTI produced exactly 110 bhp. Now, the seventh generation Golf GTI sends 220 bhp to the front wheels − which is exactly double the power of the first Golf GTI. 2.0-litre turbocharged direct injection engine. The turbocharged engine of the GTI is from the third generation of the EA888 engine series and has a completely newly developed cylinder head. It is marked by innovative technical modifications such as exhaust gas cooling integrated in the cylinder head and a dual injection system with both direct injection and multi point injection. In addition, the 1,984 cc TSI features variable valve timing with dual camshaft adjustment. The valve lift on the exhaust side is adjustable over two stages.
11 percent better fuel economy. The GTI, equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) as standard, attains the low fuel consumption value of 6.6 L/100km (CO2: 153 g/km). The combined fuel consumption was thus reduced by 0.8 litres or 11 percent compared to the previous model (210 bhp).
Faster in every situation. The low fuel consumption and emission values of the Golf GTI contrast with the car's simply dominating driving performance data. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 244 km/h. Based on its performance and handling properties, the new Golf GTI is impressively penetrating into the market segment of high-class and considerably more expensive sports cars more than ever before.
GTI exterior. Of course, the new Golf GTI is distinguished from other cars in the model series by numerous additional features and classic GTI insignia. On the exterior, they include the red painted brake calipers, smoked rear lights as well as chrome tailpipes on the left and right. The production colours 'Tornado Red' and 'Black' as well as 'Pure White' have been typical for the Golf GTI since its early days. Also standard on-board the most powerful, fastest and most fuel-efficient Golf GTI ever are the newly designed 18-inch 'Austin' alloy wheels with size 225/40 tyres.
GTI interior. The typical GTI insignia are indispensable in the interior as well. The front sport seats offer exceptionally good ergonomic properties. The GTI instrument cluster also makes a strong statement with a colour display and unique instrument graphics. The GTI-specific look in the interior is rounded out by such features as an leather sport steering wheel (with multifunction keys), red ambience lighting (in front, in the trim strips of the doors and the stainless steel door sill guards) and pedals made of brushed stainless steel.
High-tech GTI. The seventh generation of the sporty icon is the first Golf GTI to launch with standard technology highlights such as progressive steering, driving profile selector, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System and the further advanced XDS+ vehicle dynamics function.

Tragedies in King Lear.
"The theme of King Lear may be stated in psychological as well as
biological terms. So put, it is the destructive, the ultimately
suicidal character of unregulated passion, its power to carry
human nature back to chaos....
The predestined end of unmastered passion is the suicide of the
species. That is the gospel according to King Lear. The play
is in no small measure an actual representation of that process.
The murder-suicide of Regan-Goneril is an example. But it is
more than a picture of chaos and impending doom. What is the
remedy for chaos? it asks. What can avert the doom?…

By Thomas Brauer in Devoted Images
32 pages
Well, today the first print copies of my new photo-devotional came in, and I'm thrilled! I may have to update a few things, but the print quality is excellent, and re-reading my own stuff doesn't make me cringe, so that's got to be a good thing. Take a look at the previews, and let me know what you think.
The purpose of the book was to see if it was possible to develop an image based devotional that was not sentimental, nor clichéd. I think I succeeded, but I will need plenty of feedback to know for certain. So please, let me know if anyone reading this, also gets the book.

While I was in the Denver area this month visiting family, I also got to spend a gorgeous Friday afternoon with Chase (you may recognize him from The Bachelorette) at one of my favorite places in Colorado - Red Rocks Amphitheater. This place has breath-taking views and serves many purposes. Not only is it an iconic music venue, but there is great hiking trails to explore and many people utilize the staircases for their workouts, sitting at 6,000 feet high - the altitude alone is a great way to push your limits as an athlete.
It was a fun day getting to shoot Chase and getting to know him a little bit. We took in all of the viewpoints, hikes, and beauty of Red Rocks for most of the afternoon but ended the day with a short workout on the famous staircase.
Also, check out Chase and his buddy's unique apparel company, Lucid Blvd .... their movement is to "aspire to bring a BOLD lifestyle, a DARING free spirit, and an UNFILTERED sense of humor back into society. We know that life is short, so we encourage you to push your comfort zone. Try something new. Test your limits, but most of all, don't forget to laugh!"

Hingis runs out of steam as fairytale grinds to halt
MARTINA HINGIS, the former world No 1, was unable to achieve a fairytale victory in her comeback tournament yesterday but she took another step along the comeback trail as she prepares for the Australian Open.
Hingis, 25, was beaten in three sets by Flavia Pennetta in the semi-finals of the Mondial Australian Women's Hardcourt Championship on the Gold Coast, in the fourth match of her return to professional tennis after a three-year break from the sport.
The five-time grand-slam tournament winner took the first set easily before a lack of fitness and a slight hip injury led her to succumb to the Italian world No 23 in a tie-break in the second set. Hingis faded in the final set to lose 1-6, 7-6, 6-2.

Relaxation and cutting
Initially I was going to write about something else, then I saw this video which sparked a fresh topic.
This is a test video by Thrand working with a concept that one of my favorite researchers, Roland Warzecha, has been developing. Interestingly enough this is something that I have been talking about for a long time now as well.
I suppose it's my background with Russian Martial Arts, but to me this was something that seemed so obvious that I never really gave it much thought other than trying to explain it to students. The general idea is that instead of tensing up or trying to strike fiercely, you simply give the weapon an impulse and allow it to do the cut for you. Once it is in motion you maintain only enough of a grip to steer it to the target.
This works for cuts and thrusts with a variety of weapons, and there appears to be significant evidence that it was known to warriors well versed with melee weapons. I've often demonstrated the difference to new students by striking their waster in a variety of ways that appear to be similar, but have very different results.
So since I believe that there is very clear evidence that this is a beneficial tactic, the problem comes down to the method of training this until it becomes second nature. My approach is to begin slow, and develop a good sense of feeling for it. We now do a drill that I call the 'relaxation drill' where we go through some basic cutting motions very slowly and without any footwork focusing only on when to tense and when to relax. I'd say this is very similar in some ways to developing a golf swing, since you must initially add momentum then relax and steer it at the proper moment. As a general rule, if the sword is being lifted into a vertical position, you should give it an impulse to get there, and once it's reached that point, or slightly before if you've gotten the hang of it, you relax your grip and arms. This should allow the blade to swing into position fluidly and under a very soft guiding hand, more of a brace than a grip.
As you do this more and more at a slower speed, the slower you can go and keep the natural rhythm, the better, the easier it will become and the more you will develop the ability to feel what is happening. That is you develop a sense of Fuhlen necessary for adaptation to your opponents actions. Eventually with enough practice you should get to the point where you do this naturally under stress without thinking. I've taken this idea from musicians who learn music by going slowly as long as the timing is kept proportional, and then eventually they get the new piece down, and eventually can improvise on the original work. From my teaching it would appear that this method also works with swordsmanship and martial arts in general, so as I see it, why reinvent what you can steal and repurpose something that's already great?
Here's another video demonstrating another application of these mechanics in a way that is more familiar to me, explained by my friend Matt Powell of Pramek. He has a really great style of teaching the core mechanics and how they mesh together and create the overall style of movement I've attempted to describe.

3X Tie-Dye Ribbon Butterfly Tee
Ribbon Butterfly tee for Down Syndrome Awareness. I dribbled too much blue dye where it is not supposed to be (see second pic) so this one is marked down, but still a great tee.
I use Procion dyes which are professional strength commercial dyes, the colors stay bright for years. I work with Gildan Ultra tees, they are 6.1 oz, 100% pre-shrunk cotton.
Great dyes, quality tees, and attention to detail, combined with my ability to embrace the random nature of liquid color, equals an awesome new shirt for you to wear and show off. Each tee is handmade, so every tee shirt is unique.... I may be able to do one similar, but never exact.
Hello, my name is Carl, aka MrTieDye. I am a Dye Artist and I love the medium of tie-dye. I push the boundaries of tie-dye to places few people have seen. I am constantly asked "how did you do THAT with tie-dye?"
I started twisting tees and splashing dye in August 2000 and quickly realized the unlimited potential of the tie-dye medium. I have experimented with many techniques of tie-dye as I explored its history. Now, along with my peers, I am boldly contributing to the future of this dynamic new face now emerging in the World of Art ~ Tie-Dye!

USC News – September 21, 2016
Supported by a new grant from the Alzheimer's Association, USC researcher explores a key Alzheimer's gene and how it disproportionately impacts women.
Among the 5 million Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, nearly two-thirds are women.
While the reason for this striking discrepancy isn't yet known, proposed theories range from differences in health care usage and lifestyle factors to life span and other biological variations. USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology Professor Christian Pike studies this disparity at the deepest level, examining key genes involved in Alzheimer's and how their effects differ in males and females.
"Men and women are affected by Alzheimer's disease differently, both in terms of disease development and progression," he said. "Understanding the underlying bases of these differences should be useful in determining whether we need to view prevention and treatment differently depending upon gender."
Pike's newest project will specifically examine the gene for apolipoprotein E-4 (APOE4), a primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's. The presence of the APOE4 gene disproportionately increases the risk for the disease in women versus men, Pike said.
"In women, Alzheimer's disease risk is increased approximately four times with one copy of the gene and 10 times with two copies of the APOE4 gene, whereas men show essentially no increased risk with one APOE4 gene and only a fourfold increase in risk with two copies of APOE4," he said. "Even in the absence of dementia, APOE4 is associated with significantly increased atrophy and dysfunction of the brain and that affects women much more strongly than men."
The full article is available on the USC Website.

Will it force other networks to follow suit?
In July last year the European Commission announced it wanted international roaming costs to be slashed by 40 to 70 per cent. The impact of this decision was not expected to be felt before this summer but 3 has given us all an early present…
A new service called '3 Like Home' will abolish roaming charges for customers in seven countries. Five of those are in Europe namely Austria, Denmark, Italy, the Republic of Ireland and Sweden with two others: Australia and Hong Kong also on the list. 3 is doing this because its network already operates in these countries.
3 Like Home will carry no fees and every customer will automatically gain access to the service with all call and data charges simply deducted from a user's monthly allowance. Should a user exceed their monthly allowance a flat rate of only 20p per minute will be billed.
"The launch of the 3 Like Home scheme will significantly benefit our customers as they travel between the 3 group's networks," said 3's Christian Salbaing in an interview with the BBC. "It underlines our commitment to fair treatment and reasonable pricing for all our customers."
Of course the cynical among you will say this is just 3 jumping before it is pushed (after all O2 announced a flat rate EU call charge way back in June) but I would argue there is a certain amount of dignity in facing these pressures head on. Furthermore, the move could prompt other networks to make similar concessions… yes, "even Vodafone!"

Pastor Dan taught from John 20, but not before establishing the context for the resurrection by addressing the Grand Narrative (Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration). We discussed the need for atonement, what Christ did on the cross, and then discussed how the disciples (most specifically, Thomas came to believe as Jesus revealed Himself!

Next Post: BECAUSE OF A BOOK GROUP: LOTUSLAND »
Welcome to my blog that takes you from pages to places. Come and discover some quirky, little-known, or loose-but-relevant links from books to places around the world. You might even like to add a book suggestion of your own to the topic.
Winchester is rich with pages of history and novels from the Iron Age to Jane Austen. William the Conqueror began building Winchester Castle and today a centuries-old rendition of King Arthur's Round Table hangs in all that remains – the castle's Great Hall. Roman artefacts are still ploughed up on surrounding farm land, while beneath the flagstones of the 1000 year old Winchester Cathedral Jane Austen is buried.
Although she lived and wrote in Hampshire, Jane Austen spent only the last months of her life in Winchester. When she died 200 years ago in 1817 only four people attended her funeral. Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published after her death.
Because of family connections I can't visit the UK without taking the hour's trip by train from Waterloo Station to Winchester.
Winchester is a walking city. The River Itchen burbles through, home to white swans drifting and trails of watercress stretching in the clear water. Beside the river are the water meadows that so entranced Keats he wrote his ode To Autumn. If you walk along the meadows you come to the Hospital of St Cross, not a hospital in the modern sense, but a place of compassion and hospitality: an almshouse established in the twelfth century by William the Conqueror's grandson for those who were struggling to survive. Even today visitors can request the Wayfarer's Dole: a small glass of ale and piece of bread, reminiscent of the time sustenance was given to travellers.
In the Tudor era the buildings of the Hospital of St Cross were extended and today some 25 Brothers, men over 60, live at this oldest charitable institution in England. Anthony Trollope is said to have based his novel, the Warden (a volume of the Barchester Chronicles) on a corrupt Master of the Hospital.
And in this ancient city reality meets modern fantasy: small parts of the 600+ year old Winchester College were used in the filming of Harry Potter. It's a city that has something for everyone.

Established in 1963, JTB Bank is a Leading Commercial Bank in SMEs, that operates in 25 branches spread all over the Lebanese territory. JTB Bank continues to invest first and foremost in its clients, by tailoring products and offering financial services that fit their needs including Commercial, Corporate and Retail Banking, as well as Micro-finance and SME lending.
JTB Bank has been building a reputation and reinforcing its position as market leader in SMEs, which constitute the largest segment of the Lebanese economy and population. Notably, JTB was the first bank in Lebanon to collaborate with an organization specialized in supporting small and micro businesses with more than $96 million in loan grants to almost 60,000 borrowers.
For over 50 years, The Bank never lost sight of its two pillars of success: local, small and medium sized entrepreneurs as well as Lebanese expatriates breaking new grounds in faraway places. Those two segments representing wealth levels at both ends of the economic spectrum are a reflection of the bank's strong belief in the Lebanese individual, as they lie at the roots of JTB's portfolio diversification and risk management models.
With three representative offices in Nigeria, the Ivory Coast and the United Kingdom, the Lebanese Diaspora is also at the heart of the Bank's interest. JTB's foreign operation has had an impact on the Bank's performance, as a comfortable portion of the growth in the loan portfolio is attributed to the 'Foreign Sector'. The Bank offers exceptional and tailor-made products and services to fit the needs of Lebanese expatriates.

Amazon provides a platform for third-parties to sell their products to consumers. Some third-party companies take their own orders and ship their own products, while others have Amazon fill and ship their orders on their behalves. Selling over the Amazon platform has helped many companies broaden their product awareness, visibility, and sales.
Amazon, however, subsequently became, and continues to become, a competitor of their own retailer clients (and of many other retailers) by entering into its own agreements with suppliers and manufacturers, as they've done in the auto after-market industry (with Federal-Mogul, Dorman Products, et al.), and in sportswear, with Nike (in the works). In the area of fashion apparel, Amazon is making a big push into retail sales of its own inventory (as opposed to only being a platform for sales by third-party vendors to consumers of their own respective fashion products) with its own proprietary brands as well as with some established brands.
With regard to Amazon's strategy to become a fashion retailer of its own owned inventory (as opposed to that of third parties), well-known, high-end fashion brands/manufacturers have been hesitant to sell product to and through Amazon (though their product can often be found there from other vendors, such as licensees, distributors, retailers, and other inventory purchasers). But, many fashion brands/manufacturers are in the process …every second of every day… of evaluating how they will exist, survive, and grow in an Amazon world (just as Nike has been evaluating in recent months), where other retail outlets are rapidly disappearing or being marginalized- a big factor in Nike's decision to cooperate with Amazon.
Maybe their best option, in some cases, is to sell their entire brand to Amazon.
Now that Amazon has bought Whole Foods, one has to wonder how long it will be until Amazon buys one or more luxury fashion apparel brands. While (depending on the deal terms) it can make sense from a profit perspective, such an acquisition would be especially valuable to Amazon from an Amazon branding perspective. Owning and selling a major fashion brand on Amazon, without any marketing or distribution limitations, and without any competitive outlets for such brand (i.e. having exclusivity), would instantly lift the cache and profile and viability of Amazon/Amazon Prime as a high-end fashion retailer. From that position, Amazon could buy more luxury brands, and/or launch additional upscale brands of its own, and/or attract other high-end brand manufacturers to its platform.
One could take the position, especially in the wake of the Nike deal, that Amazon need not make any such expensive acquisitions- that Amazon is already holding all the cards in retail, and, sooner or later, everyone will cave to Amazon; the other position, though, is that Amazon has the distribution- so why not own the content (the content being the brand) and make the margin and have exclusivity by way of brands developed in-house (as it is doing), as well as through acquisitions of brands that are already internationally recognized and in demand? A fashion brand acquisition could make simple financial sense for Amazon while also helping Amazon to build its high-end fashion image in the minds of consumers and manufacturers- at a supersonic pace.
So, don't be surprised if one day in the near future an item in your wardrobe has the label: Gucci- The Jeff Bezos Collection [1].
fn. [1] Gucci is being used here for the purpose of illustration only. No such deal with Amazon is pending or under consideration.

Why CBD-555 local
Ingredients in CBD-555 are 100% vegan as they do not contain animal products or by-products, and are not tested on animals. Our CBD oil preserves the natural terpenes without any chemically extracted elements.
CBD-555 does not contain processed fillers or preservatives to increase their shelf-life. Moreover, we grow our plants in certified organic soil and feed them only with organic nutrients. As no pesticides or herbicides are used to improve the harvest artificially, it makes all our products 100% organic with absolutely no heavy metals or toxins.
Every product comprises of 'full spectrum' CBD extracts that give you the advantage of the "Entourage Effect", which is a state of equilibrium where all the cannabinoids and terpenes work together in synergy, something that lacks in 'Isolate' products.
Gluten is a protein complex that can cause celiac disease, inflammation, etc. and avoiding it has many health benefits that include improved digestive health and better cholesterol levels, which enable you to maintain maximum energy level throughout the day.
High consumption of fructose (simple sugar) can cause resistance to 'leptin', a vital hormone that regulates hunger. As a result, you keep consuming food with high calories, which can lead to unwanted weight gain and obesity. Our Sugar-free CBD extracts keep you away from health issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, Digestive problems, autoimmune conditions, etc.
CBD-555 constituents are 100% Non-GMO, which means they do not contain GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms). Research studies have found many health and environmental risks with foods containing GMOs that are artificially engineered in a laboratory.
Additionally, our Full Spectrum CBD is 80%-85% CBD (90% of the cannabinoids) with ZERO THC (Non- detectable). The quality of our CBD Oil is easily the best in the industry as we are Organic Certified, Industrial Hemp Certified along with Farm Bill 2014 Compliant and GMP Compliant.

Monetary Independence and Rollover Crises
Javier Bianchi, Jorge Mondragon
NBER Working Paper No. 25340
This paper shows that the inability to use monetary policy for macroeconomic stabilization leaves a government more vulnerable to a rollover crisis. We study a sovereign default model with self-fulfilling rollover crises, foreign currency debt, and nominal rigidities. When the government lacks monetary autonomy, lenders anticipate that the government will face a severe recession in the event of a liquidity crisis, and are therefore more prone to run on government bonds. By contrast, a government with monetary autonomy can stabilize the economy and can easily remain immune to a rollover crisis. In a quantitative application, we find that the lack of monetary autonomy played a central role in making the Eurozone vulnerable to a rollover crisis. A lender of last resort can help ease the costs from giving up monetary independence.

Alanmas begins today.
He has about another 30 mins of flying time before landing in Chicago.
This should be about 3pm our time.
Philip will be collecting him from the airport. It could take up to an hour to get through customs and immigration so they should be home around 5.30pm.
It looks like we are having something of a warm up for Thursday and Friday - by warm up I mean it may get a degree above freezing point.
But, after that...........it is going to drop dramatically to minus 20C.
Alan keeps some thermals here (I don't think he needs them much on Guernsey) and it looks like he will certainly need them this time.
He still seems to enjoy staying with us though.
Donna and Lauren are looking forward to him being here.
Donna went to a brilliant bar last night with her friends.
It is more than a bar. It has lots of tables, boxed games and SciFi memorabilia.
It looks amazing.
We are all planning a group outing there. She took some pictures.
I think we could have a fun evening here. We can take Lauren too.
We hadn't heard of it before but apparently it has only been open about a year.
So, we shall have to "bundle up", as they say in these parts. Then brave the frozen tundra.

I have noticed recently that many companies use wind turbine images as part of their marketing strategy - on their home page, on an advertising board, as part of their logo, whatever - even though they have little or nothing to do with wind energy.
There are electricity providers who either do not invest in wind energy or invest in pitiful amounts using wind turbines on their homepage. There are further education institutions who do not offer any courses on wind energy using wind turbines on the front cover of their brochures. There are consultancies, TV shows and start-ups who use wind turbines in their logos. The list is never-ending!
I have decided to start collecting photos and screen-shots of these pictures whenever I see them - and I need your help!
Send me your MISPLACED WIND ENERGY IMAGES by August 31st and the best one wins a FREE one-hour on-line consultancy session with me!

Concrete line pumps are increasing in popularity as advances in technology and engineering means that concrete pumping can be more powerful with smaller sized units. We have partnered with Turbosol to combine their expertise in pumping technology with our knowledge of concrete equipment. The result is the TB40 City Concrete Line Pump, a powerful and reliable pump that easily copes with the demand of moving large quantities of concrete in tight areas for hours on end.
The TB40 is able to pump at rates of up to 40m3/hour and is mounted on a nimble 7.5 tonne gvw cab/chassis. Being mounted on a small city chassis means that it's easier to get onto small sites and negotiate busy city centres. The TB40 is also invaluable for residential jobs where country lanes, packed streets and narrow driveways can be impossible for truck-mounted boom pumps.
The Hydropump TB40 city line pump can pump up to 35mm concrete or shotcrete at a horizontal reach of 200m and a vertical reach of 100m (dependent on concrete quality, slump and aggregates). It is fitted with the new stage 3B, Tier 4 engine and has an adjustable concrete output from 2m3/hour to 40m3/hour. There is plenty of room for storage and these units carry all their own pipework on-board.
The TB40 is also a lot easier to maintain and simpler to operate than a truck-mounted concrete pump, meaning that operator training can be quicker and equipment can last longer with easy maintenance. When you purchase a TB40 City Pump you also receive two Autec wireless radio remote controls and one Autec remote control with wandering lead.
The TB40 also provides a lower price point for concrete pumps and with our finance options, it is more affordable than you think. We offer refinancing, hire purchase, finance lease and operating lease. You can find out more on our finance options page or you can contact us on 01280 820770. When you purchase a TB40 City Pump, we'll also loan you a line pump to start you off until your TB40 city pump is ready for delivery.
When it comes to transport, we can deliver to anywhere in the world, using our shipping service to deliver to your nearest port. We also fully protect your delivery en route with rust-proof wax and all moveable parts are welded down or securely stored inside the equipment. For UK deliveries, we have our own low-loader capable of making deliveries of up to 20 tonnes.
The TB40 City Pump is the perfect addition to a fleet or an entry point for a concrete pumping operation. It is able to keep within the UK weight restrictions, negotiate small sites and reduce costs with its Tier 4 engine and small chassis. If you're interested in coming to see one for yourself you can visit our facility in Buckingham or you can call us on 01280 820 770.
Get in touch with us today, let's discuss your concrete equipment requirements

Tree banding takes aim at pesky cankerworms
Driving through Autumnwood, you can't help notice the trees are wearing mini-skirts. That's the work of Bob Carter and an intrepid band of neighbors he has organized.
You might have seen them at work over the past couple of weeks, wrapping oaks and maples with white foam covered by a silvery band of plastic.
No, it isn't some strange art project a la Christo, an homage to Twiggy and the 1960s.
Carter is banding trees to protect them from the plague of cankerworms that hits Charlotte in the early spring.
Although outbreaks may be worse in south Charlotte and Myers Park, University City has also been hard hit in past, particularly forested areas such as Autumnwood.
In actuality, the "skirts" are a product named "Bug Barrier" with a sticky inner lining that traps cankerworm adult females, preventing them from climbing trees to lay eggs.
Carter obtained $3,000 to fund the project through the City of Charlotte's Tree Banding Neighborhood Matching Grant Program.
A veteran with 22 years of service in the Army and Navy, followed by a long career as a systems analyst, Carter had no experience working with trees.
However, after getting sick of picking webs and worms out of their hair, he and his wife Maria decided to take action in their own tree covered Autumnwood yard.
"I used something called Tanglefoot," said Carter. "It worked, but was a little difficult, especially taking the bands down was pretty messy. And you had to add more during the season."
In 2006, he learned about the city program and applied for the community's first grant. He researched his options, and decided to try Bug Barrier.
"It is very easy to put up and take down," Carter says.
He also developed an informal program to train and engage neighbors. He now has a reliable group that comes back year after year to volunteer to band their street as well as their own and neighboring yards.
In addition, any Autumnwood resident can request Bug Barrier for their trees from Carter, who cuts the amount needed and gives a demonstration on how to use it properly. When his supplies run out, he recommends local sources, and takes down the person's name for the following year.
"Trees look much nicer now than they did a few years ago, when cankerworms and drought really stressed our trees," said Carter. "It's really nice not to have to walk through the webs and pick the worms and webs out of your hair."
This year, Carter is hopeful.
"We expect a normal year this year, with some moth damage but not as bad as the worst years of five years ago. We got our banding done a little bit late this year, but we haven't yet seen the females crawling up the trunks in great numbers."
"Early January is not too late to get the bands in place," he adds. "There may be some moths that have already climbed, but you'll still catch a lot of them before they lay their eggs."
Sometimes people who are new to Charlotte ask what Carter is doing, but he has gotten no complaints.
"I get more thank yous for getting rid of the pest problems, especially once people know how messy it can be."
Carter also serves as vice president of the Autumnwood Neighborhood Association, Adjutant for American Legion Post 353 in Paw Creek, and a member of the Park and Recreation Greenway Advisory Committee.

Personally I like timing sets. Measuring exercises by time-under-load as opposed to the traditional approach of counting repetitions has a number of advantages. First of all you are less inclined to stop an exercise when you reach a predetermined number of reps. Secondly you are less likely to rush repetitions in the quest for higher scores. It is much easier to score higher rep totals by rapidly, bouncing through exercises using little muscular effort and a lot of momentum but this is not a productive use of your time and heightens the risk of injury.
However, the important thing is progress. Whether you monitor this progress by timing sets or counting reps is of secondary importance. Either measure can be gamed so choose one which works for you. Progress is the key, not how you measure the progress.
