Before you get their rather dramatic engagement on Braxton Family Values, we've got all you need to know about Trina Braxton's fiancé in Von Scales' wiki.

He has since worked at Compuware Corp, Maxim Investment Group, and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. He currently owns the Pro Iv Chronic Pain Center in the greater St. Louis area.
I used to call him "Fish." I thought I was kinda clever, and I know he mostly hated it, but he's my Brother, and Von…

Scales Is a Father of Three Sons
Von Scales is father to three boys, Brendan, Cameron, and Evan, from his previous marriage to Amy Fitzmaurice. Fitzmaurice is a personal trainer and former body builder. She appears to have remarried and has a daughter.

The Scales brothers have certainly inherited their parents' athletic genes. Cameron Scales played both football and basketball. He plays tight end for the Lindenwood University football team.
Brendan Scales attends the University of Missouri, and plays tight end on its football team. Evan was a wide receiver for the Southeast Missouri State University football team and currently works as an options trader.

The Scales brothers also dote on their sister, Reilly, from their mother's second marriage. Reilly apparently has a medical condition and is on the path to better health after receiving a liver transplant in 2017.
Trina Braxton also has two sons, Eric and Caleb Mojica. However, she has not revealed the identity of their father.
Trina Braxton and Von Scales Are Engaged
Trina married Gabe Solis in 2003 when her son Eric was eight and Caleb was five. Solis also appeared on Braxton Family Values until their divorce in 2015.
Even after their split, their turbulent relationship was a hot topic on the show. Eric and Caleb didn't seem too attached to their former stepfather when Trina said he was going to visit. But Solis was clearly an important part of Trina and her boys' lives.
Solis was reportedly battling cancer in secret for a while. He passed away on December 20, 2018 in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. He had been active on his Instagram a few days before his passing.
Trina confirmed the heartbreaking news on her Instagram, saying: "For over 16 years, Gabe Solis was an essential part of our lives."
On December 20, 2018, a chapter permanently closed for my sons and I. For over 16 years, Gabe Solis was an essential part of our lives. Like all families, there are good and bad moments that are endured, but those moments, good or bad still made us who we are in the present. Unfortunately, someone leaked the story before we could make everyone aware of his passing, and I apologize to those friends and family members for finding out through social outlets. I also apologize directly to the Solis Family. I do humbly ask for your prayers for our families, but my greatest request is that when you are posting comments, remember Gabe's passing is a loss for our family. He was a father to my boys, a son, brother, and friend to many and I would appreciate privacy and respect as we grieve his unexpected departure. @gabe_solis1234 I miss you, my dear friend.

Though Trina was saddened by her ex-husband's death, she had Von Scales by her side. The couple, who have been together for around a year, took their relationship to the next level in March.
Scales proposed to Trina during the Braxton family trip to Napa; he joined them to celebrate Tamar and Traci Braxton's birthdays. The proposal was sweet, but the situation turned dramatic when birthday girl Tamar got upset.
@ricardobastajewelry She's really happy! Thank you! @trinabraxton1 glad you like it!
A post shared by Von Scales (@vonscales) on Mar 29, 2019 at 11:36pm PDT
If you recall, Tamar went on an explosive rant on Instagram live where she screamed at her sisters. "If I don't have the attention from my sisters, who the f**k am I supposed to get it from?!" she yells during her epic meltdown.
Tamar later said that scene was caused by a little too much wine. She even congratulated her big sister and her new fiancé on Instagram.
Trina has forgiven her sister, too, something she's learned much about since Solis' death. "Everything is about forgiveness and moving forward," she said. "You know, we're getting older now and ever since my ex-husband, Gabe, passed away, I just realized how short life is. You know, the foolishness is just unnecessary and as long as we have breath in our bodies, there's always time to make amends and reach resolve."
While there are no hard feelings between Trina and Tamar over the proposal situation, this is drama you're not going to want to miss. The BFV filming crew was present at the trip and we're very likely to see Scales' proposal to Trina as well as Tamar's ensuing meltdown in season 6.

Ended early on ebay and sold elsewhere by the seller.
About 13 years after it initially surfaced, this auction is for a vintage PAL copy of "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" for the Nintendo 64 or N64 video game console.
This is an extremely rare game to find since it was never published and released as a PAL/Overseas Version. Electronic Arts planned to release it in Europe, but the title then saw a change of publisher to THQ.
Originally scheduled for March 2001, the PAL version became subject to continuous monthly delays and was eventually canceled in September 2001.
Note: this version on cartrige is older than any other that saw the light of day recently.
The game is a full version and delivered on a genuine NUS-16F32SB cartridge with standard CIC-NUS-7101 PAL lockout chip and playable on PAL N64 units.
You are bidding for the cartridge only. It works fine as you can see in the photos.

Q: c#: crawler project Could I get very easy to follow code examples on the following:

*

*Use browser control to launch request to a target website.

*Capture the response from the target website.

*convert response into DOM object.

*Iterate through DOM object and capture things like "FirstName"  "LastName" etc if they are part of response.

thanks

A: Here is code that uses a WebRequest object to retrieve data and captures the response as a stream.
    public static Stream GetExternalData( string url, string postData, int timeout )
    {
        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += delegate( object sender,
                                                                                X509Certificate certificate,
                                                                                X509Chain chain,
                                                                                SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors )
        {
            // if we trust the callee implicitly, return true...otherwise, perform validation logic
            return [bool];
        };

        WebRequest request = null;
        HttpWebResponse response = null;

        try
        {
            request = WebRequest.Create( url );
            request.Timeout = timeout; // force a quick timeout

            if( postData != null )
            {
                request.Method = "POST";
                request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
                request.ContentLength = postData.Length;

                using( StreamWriter requestStream = new StreamWriter( request.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII ) )
                {
                    requestStream.Write( postData );
                    requestStream.Close();
                }
            }

            response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        }
        catch( WebException ex )
        {
            Log.LogException( ex );
        }
        finally
        {
            request = null;
        }

        if( response == null || response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK )
        {
            if( response != null )
            {
                response.Close();
                response = null;
            }

            return null;
        }

        return response.GetResponseStream();
    }

For managing the response, I have a custom Xhtml parser that I use, but it is thousands of lines of code. There are several publicly available parsers (see Darin's comment).
EDIT: per the OP's question, headers can be added to the request to emulate a user agent. For example:
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create( url );
                request.Accept = "application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*";
                request.Timeout = timeout;
                request.Headers.Add( "Cookie", cookies );

                //
                // manifest as a standard user agent
                request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US)";

A: You may take a look at Html Agility Pack and/or SgmlReader. Here's an example using SgmlReader which selects all the nodes in the DOM containing some text:
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        using (var reader = new SgmlReader())
        {
            reader.Href = "http://www.microsoft.com";
            var doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.Load(reader);
            var nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//*[contains(text(), 'Products')]");
            foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(node.OuterXml);
            }
        }
    }
}

A: Here you can find a tutorial from 4 parts to what you want.
this is the first one , the 4 parts are here (How to Write a Search Engine)

A: If you want a pure C# way to traverse web pages, a good place to look is WatiN.  It allows you to easily open a web browser and go through the web page (and actions) via C# code.
Here's an example for searching google with the API (taken from their docs)
using System;
using WatiN.Core;

namespaceWatiNGettingStarted
{
  class WatiNConsoleExample
  {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      // Open a new Internet Explorer window and
      // goto the google website.
      IE ie = new IE("http://www.google.com");

      // Find the search text field and type Watin in it.
      ie.TextField(Find.ByName("q")).TypeText("WatiN");

      // Click the Google search button.
      ie.Button(Find.ByValue("Google Search")).Click();

      // Uncomment the following line if you want to close
      // Internet Explorer and the console window immediately.
      //ie.Close();
    }
  }

}

A: You could also use selenium to easily traverse the DOM and grab the values of the fields. It will also automatically open the browser for you.

Green smoothies have changed my life. 7 years on and I'm still drinking 1-2 complete meal green smoothies per day. (aka Green Thickies).
The benefits of green smoothies can't be brushed under the carpet anymore. It's time for the world to wake up and take notice.
1) Weight loss. Increasing the number of fruit and vegetables you eat in a day gives you body an opportunity to shed excess fat and water weight built up from toxins stored in the body. I lost 56 pounds by drinking a green smoothies.
2) Muscle Gain. Popeye had it right. Leafy greens do actually contain a lot of protein which helps to build muscle. But that's not all. They also contain an abundance of other nutrients which are also needed to help build a strong, healthy body. Just look at all the vegan bodybuilders and professional athletes we now have. They know the value of including leafy greens in their diets and their results prove that leafy greens are working incredibly well for them.
3) More energy. If you start the day with a green smoothie you will notice a massive increase in the amount of energy you have. The main reason I'm so passionate about green smoothies is that I recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome on a green smoothie diet! You can read my story here.
4) Mental clarity: Junk food, especially processed white flour and sugar can clog our minds making our brains feel cloudy. Drinking green smoothies will clear your mind and free up your creativity so you can think more easily. Our brains are supposed to slow down as we age but I swear mine is speeding up. I feel sharper, and more on the ball than I've ever felt in my life.
5) Crave less junk: When you increase the amount of healthy foods in your diet and decrease the unhealthy foods you will naturally stop craving junk food and crave more of the same healthy food. You may find yourself adding more fruit during the day when you start eating more healthily.
6) Less snacking: A filling green smoothie (green thickie) normally contains the right amount of calories for one healthy meal. And because the ingredients are generally low GI, they will keep your blood sugar levels low until lunch time helping you to cut out snacking altogether. Since I started drinking complete meal green smoothies – I never feel the need to snack now which really helps me lose weight faster.
7) Improves skin. The amount of acne may reduce when you improve your diet by drinking more green smoothies. It worked for me. I used to have awful acne covering my whole face and now I very rarely get any spots. Give it a try for 7 days and see for yourself?
8) Lessens wrinkles: The increased fluids and power of natural foods in your diet will hydrate your skin and reduce your wrinkles making you look younger. Can you believe that since I started drinking green smoothies 10 years ago, people guess my age at more than 10 years younger than I actually am! This alone is one good reason for carrying on with my daily green smoothie habit for the rest of my life! Also whole plant based diets have been scientifically shown to reverse cellular ageing. Yes your whole body will actually get younger!
9) Reduce the risk of serious diseases: It is well known that one way of preventing cancer and heart disease is to increase the number of fruit and vegetables in your diet. The more green smoothies you drink, the lower your risk. Plant based diet in general have been proven to eliminate or significantly reduce the leading 13 causes of death.
10) Improve your immunity to colds, flu and other bugs and feel generally amazing. After having a cold or the flu all winter long, I didn't have a single bug for 3 years after introducing green smoothies to my diet.
11) Improve your digestion, detox and get your health off to a flying start today. My IBS totally cleared up after changing my diet. A green smoothie will be guaranteed to get everything moving in the morning.
12) Reduce other health complaints: Whatever health complaint you are suffering from, diet can have a dramatic effect on the severity of your symptoms. Try one green smoothie a day for the next week and notice the difference in your own health.
I'd love to hear about the benefits of green smoothies in your life.

Hi Just read your article and its awesome… I have been on green smoothies since yesterday and I am doing it mainly to get more energy and to have clear beautiful glowing skin. Just one question.. In how much time did you see results in your skin?. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Hi Jasmin. I'm so glad you are enjoying green smoothies. They are amazing for all aspects of your health. I used to have really bad acne before I changed my diet. I can't remember exactly how long it was before I saw a big improvement in my skin. I think it might have actually been a few months because I went through such an intensive detox and you can actually get more spots when you're detoxing as the toxins come out through your skin. Stick with it and I'm sure you'll see results eventually.
Hi Thank you for your comment and yes you are right I am actually having more spots after I started it and today is Day 9 but the rest of the skin has improved and I see improvement in overall complexion hopefully within a few weeks I will see the results and my body will be toxin free. Thank you for the motivation and keep up the good work.
Hi, I've been making green smoothies for about a week now and I was wondering did you only drink them for breakfast and you lost weight? Or did you drink more a day. I've been drinking one a day as a breakfast replacement. Do you have any other weight loss tips?
Hi Gabby. I started off just drinking them for breakfast but when I replaced my lunch with them too my weight loss did speed up. My weight loss tips would be just to eat a whole foods diet as the body will know when it's had enough. I'm bringing out a 7 day diet plan soon that will help people lose weight, so stay tuned for that!
I've recently started juicing and it works great with regular fruits and vegetables. Especially the ones that have alot of "juice" in them.
However I have found that when throwing leafy greens in them, alot of times half or whole the leaf gets catapulted straight into the collector bin.
I think Summerortiz makes a good case. I'll see about getting a blender as well and combining them.
Also the idea of throwing sprouts in sounds great.
What's with the spirulina though ? Is there any real benefit to that ?
I read that it possible contains b12. Could you elaborate a bit on that?
Thank you for your article. I used your information to get started on green smoothies when I first got my Vitamix. I just put my personal recipe on my blog and linked your site to it. I think you have done an outstanding job of answering common questions.
Hi, I have been using my Vitamix for 3 months and having green smoothies each day for breakfast, sometimes for dinner, a green salad each day for lunch. On the weekends, I eat regular food, but still have the smoothie for breakfast. I am GAINING weight. I work out. What's up with that? I am very discouraged. I feel great and I can tell my skin is better, which is a big plus, but the weight!!! Can you suggest anything?
Thank you for your article. Very helpful and healthy tips too. Keep posting.
Smoothies are good and healthy.
the blogger lovers but this piece of writing is truly a pleasant post, keep it up.
I just have one question: How about the taste? Is it bearable?
These smoothies can really have a huge benefits on people's health. I had no idea that it had this many benefits though, this is 12 great benefits! It is pretty amazing that it can help weight loss and weight gain.

It's getting easier to identify these, because people are actually starting to call bugs in parsers "parsing bugs", instead of just bugs involving "maliciously crafted inputs" and so on.
This time we have a bug involving parsing in bash (CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169). Briefly, bash evaluates environment variables that look like (parse like) function definitions. Unfortunately, it parses more than just function definitions.

From Karachi, with love
By-Rafia Zakaria
The Karachi I grew up in was haunted by memories of Mumbai. My father, grandparents and aunts had all left Mumbai in the decades after Partition, chasing jobs and the promises sold to the Muslims of the subcontinent. At every dinner table conversation, every afternoon tea reminiscence, and every late night stroll, we were accompanied by the omnipresent ghost of Mumbai. Against the mythic Mumbai of their memories, Karachi always fell short: the fish was fresher in Mumbai, my father sighed, and the nights were cooler, my grandmother complained.
The imagined Mumbai that punctuated my Karachi childhood was an idyll of fresh food, better infrastructure, kinder people and those glorious Bollywood movies that lit up our screens courtesy of borrowed VCRs. Impressionistic remembrances muted all dissonance. The imagined Mumbai my father brought with him had been delivered of the daily annoyances that everyday life in the city would undoubtedly have had.
The Karachi of my childhood thus existed very much in relation to and in conversation with a Mumbai whose reality for me was only defined by other people's recollections. Saddened by the discontent of the transplanted grown-ups, I wanted to exorcise the ghost that seemed to be the ever present lament of my father that inevitably distanced him from loving Karachi, the only city I knew and loved. How could he love me and not love Karachi, I wondered? My twin brother and I, united in our devotion to Karachi would mount vehement arguments in its favour. Our childish reasons for loving Karachi were constructed both from our childlike love for the only home we knew and the propaganda about India that we were regularly fed at school.
Karachi may have fallen short against the idealisations of my father's memory, but it offered much to the children. My brother and I both went to Zoroastrian schools that had helped form pluralistic core of the city more than a hundred years before Pakistan had ever been in existence. I grew up in classrooms where religious pluralism was not an abstract concept but an everyday reality. Close friendships between the Muslim, Hindu, Parsi and Christian children who shared classrooms were so commonplace that writing about them as exercises in diversity seems somewhat odd. We went to separate rooms to pray in the morning and during religious classes, but our shared personal dramas and competitive hysteria over tests defined us as similar in a way that could not be divested by our religious differences. Karachi's locale, and its conglomeration of migrants from all over India and Pakistan, offered a cornucopia of culture and cuisine. Chapli kebabs in Shah Faisal Colony, Dahi baras in Hyderabad Colony and delicious dossas near the Agha Khan Jamatkhana became the varied flavours of our childhood.
The foundation of tolerance that was such a part of our lives was valued because it was often tested. In the early nineties, Karachi was torn and bleeding from ethnic violence between migrants from India and indigenous Sindhis over control of the city. Karachi was rocked with shootings that often killed hundreds in the span of a week. Curfews would be imposed in various parts of the city and schools like ours in the centre of the city would often be closed. The first bomb blast I remember as a child was one that hit Bohri Bazar, a market in the heart of the city in the late eighties. It had hit a store called Liberty Uniforms, where we had purchased our first school uniforms a few weeks earlier. The charred, inside stairway, suddenly exposed because of the blown up store front, was an image that would soon define the city. As the first democratic governments of our lifetimes sputtered in the face of ethnic identities, violence and Karachi became a compound word. That ubiquitous question, "what are you", became a part of Karachi children's vocabulary. It defined our allegiances, our origin and for some others who saw our transplanted parents as suspect, also our loyalties. This period of violence defined Karachi's break from Mumbai: the calcification of ethnic identities, the hatred toward the transplanted "other" entrenched violence into Karachi's political landscape just as surely as the Arabian Sea defined its geographical one.
As I write this today, the irony of my childhood consternation at my father's memories of Mumbai does not escape me. I make my home far from Karachi, in the United States but am haunted by its pain as I watch my native country all but unravel in the face of insurgent terror. It is a curious exercise for Karachiites when they have to digest the news of bomb blasts in other Pakistani cities. Reactions are complex. Some scoff at the fear of our fellow Pakistanis while we, oddly proud of having already borne nearly every sort of terror, can make a spectacle of our resilience. Others, point optimistically to our having learned by necessity the lessons of security decades before the rest of the country, where ethnic contiguity inured then from the ravages that plagued Karachi. The latter point to the fact that going through metal detectors and having our cars searched are all old hat to Karachi, a city that has never been able to take peace for granted.
Changing climes
But the tough-guy badness that makes Karachiites wear their war ravaged history as a badge of resilience cannot hide the weight that the current conflict is having on the emotional and spatial psyche of the city. Women's bodies, always a mirror of the politico-religious landscapes of a city have again become testaments of these changing climes. In years past, women in burqas existed side by side with women in brightly coloured shalwar kamiz but the latter are now harassed by the former. My mother, who has worn shalwar kamiz without covering her hair her whole life, was lectured by another woman at a park about how she ought wear a hijab. A cousin was spat upon at a traffic light because she has short hair. Another friend was threatened with an acid attack for wearing capris in a crowded market. The onslaught has begun here; in a place where diversity of religious practice, if not ethnic diversity, was heretofore taken for granted. Women swathed in black are everywhere; and while it is difficult to tell whether their new garb is the product of intimidation or choice it is tangible presence pointing to the constriction of psychological and cultural vibrancy which was such a trademark of Karachi.
Mumbai's ghost remains ever-present in this new Karachi; whether it is the sweet shops that sell delicacies from there, or the Bollywood blockbuster screened at one of the new cinemas or the many boutiques that promise clothes straight from Bombay. Last year's catastrophic attack in Mumbai broke the heart of many children raised by its ghosts in Karachi; children who have envisioned Mumbai as a realisation of all they hope for in their own city. Perhaps also it made those who live in Mumbai also realise how the ravages of terror have harangued its estranged twin where a second generation is now growing up with terror and insecurity as a historical constant. There is much that Karachi and Mumbai have in common, megacities peopled by those fuelled as much by dreams and ambition and food and water; they both tread the tightrope between the harshness of survivalism and the tempering kindness of strangers in crowds. Yet as their political narratives fall farther apart and the generation that kept the ghost of Karachi alive fades into the past, their estrangement threatens to become a permanent break. It is this possibility; so proximately real, that represents the most terrible tragedy to befall both Karachi and Mumbai.

Manfred Schmid is one of the few urushi masters in Europe to have mastered this art form. He has created three of the four seasons for the LAMY dialog urushi edition: spring, autumn and winter. A visit to his studio in Bremen.
Mr Schmid, the art of urushi lacquering is rooted in the culture of East Asia and is closely linked with its virtues and traditions. How did you come to be involved with urushi as a 'northerner' from Germany?
Manfred Schmid: The Japanese say: you don't come to urushi, urushi comes to you. I am actually a cabinetmaker by profession. I design and build furniture. In 1998, I moved to Barcelona and by chance discovered that you can study urushi or Japanese lacquering at the university there. Initially I didn't want to do it professionally. I believe that if I had known how much effort it involves and that it can sometimes take one to two years to complete items in the black lacquer, depending on their size and the technique used, I would have run a mile! I am actually a very impatient person.
But you didn't run a mile – quite the opposite. Since then, you have spent over 20 years dedicated to the art of urushi. What do you find so fascinating about it?
MS: My fascination with urushi began with the black lacquer. It is the deepest black which can be produced anywhere in the world. And the only black which is not produced with pigments. This makes the lacquer translucent – and the more layers I apply to an object, the greater the light refraction and so the deeper the black appears. It's almost like looking into the surface. This is hugely fascinating, especially for people who have never encountered urushi before. Many of them find it irritating at first: it's not glass, it's not ceramic; so what is it? But they are immediately drawn in by its depth which emergesall the more, the less light there is. Japanese lacquering is actually, as the Japanese say, darkness deposited in layers.
Urushi is not just a form of craftsmanship; it also places great demands on the urushi master as a person. Working with the material requires a high level of discipline and great patience. As an impatient person – how do you cope with that?
MS: For me, it has to do with Zen and increasingly detaching yourself. You cannot dominate urushi. It is an unbelievably characterful material and you have to listen to it a bit. You have to place any rational logic to one side – like a musician who learns the technique at the start, clearly and rationally. But then if he wants to play well, he has to forget it all again at some point. Urushi is like that too. The more I say "Right, that's it" when I get to the last layer, the less likely it is. Sometimes I do the last layer and then go home feeling dissatisfied. And when I come back the next day and start with the grinding, I discover: it's really great, that's it. Sometimes it's rather paradoxical. But it has a great deal to do with entering a kind of meditative state.
My fascination with urushi began with the black lacquer. It is the deepest black which can be produced anywhere in the world.
Manfred Schmid at his studio in Bremen.
So to a certain extent, you have to let go?
MS: Yes, you could say so. When I apply the urushi lacquer, I cannot see with the naked eye whether or not the layer is even. I have to develop a feel for it and stroke the surface repeatedly. And at some point, this feeling becomes intuition. It's like a cellist who can play an E without looking – it's simply practice, practice, practice. Until at some point it's like second nature. It's the same with the grinding: I hear and feel more where I have been. It's like penetrating the surface which I envisage inside of myself. You very much resonate with the material – and get annoyed sometimes when things aren't going right or it won't dry and you don't know why. Sometimes it takes two or three days, sometimes a week. It has its secrets. But that's also what makes it so fascinating.
You learnt and perfected the urushi technique in Barcelona. How closely do you stick to the traditions and where have you moved away from them?
MS: Tradition plays a role for me in terms of the technique, i.e. the development of the lacquered object. This technique has proven itself over thousands of years and there is no improving on it. What I have changed is the manner in which I process the lacquer. For example, I don't use charcoal for the grinding, as was the case in the past. Instead, I use wet sandpaper. And I don't apply the filler with a carved wooden spatula, I use my finger – that's the best spatula in the world! Essentially, I have avoided adopting the Japanese tradition from the outset, including when designing my objects. I am European and if I tried to copy Japanese art, it would only be a cheap copy. I always think about what object will set the lacquer off particularly well.
It is important to me to find forms which will still be perceived as beautiful in 50 or 100 years' time. My goal is for the lacquer and form to enter into perfect harmony with one another. The shine and reflections on rounded forms are set off particularly well – so in that sense, the LAMY dialog 3 was perfect.
What was the biggest challenge for you with the LAMY dialog 3?
MS: The biggest difficulty was actually breaking away from old ideas. You have hundreds of images in your head of fountain pens coated in urushi, made by others – and the greatest task was to rid my head of these images or rather to switch off from them. And then it finally came to me after I had left everything alone for four weeks and thought that I wouldn't be able to come up with anything. It was at a moment when I actually had no suitable blanks [editor's note: body blank] – only blanks with a line engraved on them which I couldn't use. So I carved them out and brushed along the length of the fountain pen. I can't say exactly how I came to apply the grinding horizontally across the blanks too ... I would say it was an intuition. Something like that emerges or not, you can't claim it. The urushi gods were merciful once again. And that's how autumn, the first model, came about.
No layer is insignificant. Every layer has to be perfect.
Classic urushi only features in the colours black and red. For the autumn model, Manfred Schmid chose a transparent lacquer which emits an amber-like tone when applied in layers.
You have not used a classic black lacquer for autumn but rather a transparent lacquer. How did you come up with this idea?
MS: When the call from Lamy arrived, I was at a point where I was actually done with black lacquer. I had been 'seeing black' for 20 years and wanted to set off in search of something new and bring some colour into my life. I was interested in the so-called transparent lacquer. I say 'so-called' because it is translucent but not colourless. When applied correctly, it is amber-like in colour and reminds me of images from my childhood. At that time, we had a blind and when the street lamp beamed its light into my room, everything turned a wonderful golden-brown. The transparent lacquer is actually not used in Japan, at least not as a sole surface but rather as a kind of sealant. I applied this lacquer over the texture which I had previously ground into the fountain pen. The effect was very exciting: the texture is not covered up and actually radiates out from deep beneath the lacquer.
Once the collaboration with Lamy came about, you had moved away from classic black lacquering. Was there anything about your work on the LAMY dialog 3 which changed your perspective on urushi?
MS: Yes, definitely. Over decades of working with black lacquer, I have developed an astute eye for perfection. Through the collaboration with Lamy and exchanges with Mr Achenbach, I have actually realised that I sometimes see things as errors which he perceives as aesthetic. And that was actually the path I wanted to go down: moving away from black lacquer towards more vibrancy. It can be a long process to change one's perspective and become more open again – for the beginner's spirit, as they say in Zen.
Because the drawback of handwriting is also its real strength – the lack of speed, which these days is a rare luxury. Writing by hand has a meditative component.
As you say, autumn came about by change or through a kind of intuition. What was the inspiration behind spring and winter?
MS: There too, the idea came to me by chance. I was working on a large stainless steel bowl using the autumn technique mentioned previously and was again obsessed with perfection. I had already applied the first
layer 14 times and wiped it off again because it wasn't even. I had tormented myself over it for two or three months and was so despairing that I could happily have thrown the bowl out of the window. When I reached the point of wanting to wipe off the final layer yet again and dunked my cloth in alcohol, some of it dripped into the bowl. I saw it and thought: wow, that looks great! So I took a fountain pen and began to experiment right away.
How is the effect created exactly?
MS: I dip the brush in alcohol and shake it off so that lots of small droplets are sprinkled on the fountain pen. This breaks down the surface tension of the lacquer and creates a special structure, as featured on the spring and winter models. The result is different every time. I could never recreate the exact same fountain pen – each one is completely unique.
A special brush is used to apply the urushi lacquer. The brush is made from human Asian hair and has a particularly smooth structure.
The LAMY dialog urushi edition encapsulates the fascination of this lacquering technique from East Asia in a unique tetralogy.
The precise and filigree work involved in urushi often exceeds human imagination. This is impressively demonstrated by the summer edition of the fountain pen which was designed by Norihiko Ogura.

How Often do I Need to Wind a Cuckoo Clock?
Well, that depends on the type of cuckoo clock that you own. There are two primary types of cuckoo clocks: 1-day and 8-day movements. Cuckoo clocks with a 1-day movement run for approximately 30 hours, at which point you'll need to wind it again, whereas 8-day cuckoo clocks run for just over a week.
How Can I Tell the Difference Between a 1-Day and 8-Day Cuckoo Clock?
The easiest way to tell the difference between a 1-day and 8-day cuckoo clock is to look for the weight. 8-day cuckoo clocks are typically characterized by a larger weight (looks like a pine cone) than its 1-day counterpart. If you're looking for a more "hands-off" approach to maintaining a cuckoo clock, it's recommended that you choose an 8-day model. On the other hand, if you enjoy the act of winding up your cuckoo clock regularly, choose the 1-day model.
Who Built the World's First Cuckoo Clock?
This is a question that remains up for debate. What historians do know, however, is that it originated out of Germany's Black Forest during the 18th century, with some of the first examples appearing during 1740-1750. Since then, cuckoo clocks have spread rapidly throughout the region, with people from all walks of life seeking to own this brilliant work of art.
What Material are Cuckoo Clocks Made of?
You'll find cuckoo clocks are made using a variety of different materials. However, the single most common material used in their construction is Limetree (also known as Linden Tree). Found throughout much of Europe, these trees are prized for their carving attributes. Woodworkers can easily carve intricate, highly detailed designs directly into the wood, making it the perfect choice of material for cuckoo clocks.
How Many Different Styles are There?
Cuckoo clocks typically come in one of three different styles: Black Forest chalet, Swiss chalet, and Bavarian chalet, each of which is named after the traditional house depicted by the cuckoo clock.
Can I Disable the Music?
Cuckoo clocks live up to their namesake by producing a distinct sound that resembles that of a cuckoo's call. This typically occurs once an hour, on the hour. The good news is that some of the modern-day cuckoo clocks are being manufactured with a special switch that allows the sound to be temporarily disabled. So if you're looking to get some peace and quiet, just disable the cuckoo call and you are good to go!

Benjamin Franklin Autobiography
Born on January 6th, 1706 in Milk Street, Boston, Benjamin Franklin had an internal push to want to be successful despite the challenges he encountered. He was the youngest son of Josiah Franklin. Benjamin Franklin discontinued his education at the age of ten; this did not hinder his inner desire to be great. He later worked for his brother James who was a printer in one of the firms in Boston. Franklin was employed as a nominal editor. After a disagreement with his brother, Ben ran away to New York and later to Philadelphia. This incident happened in October 1723. While in Philadelphia, Benjamin set up his printing house, this is where he printed his first recognized work in history called 'The Pennsylvania Gazette.' His autobiography is all about the records of his successes, failures, famous quotes, beliefs and life experiences that he went through his entire life.
But the question is what inspired Benjamin to do the things that he did during his time? For example, what inspired him to establish a public library in Philadelphia? And what was the effect of this library on Franklin and his community? This account of his life happened at Passy in Paris in the year 1784 (Franklin p.43). It was after Benjamin had received letters of request, and he could not get a grip of what had already been written. In his autobiography, Ben explained the account on how he started the library. Based on his words, Benjamin said that the library started from a small beginning, and it grew to be very considerable in Philadelphia (Franklin p.56). On the account, Benjamin admitted that by the time he established himself in Pennsylvania, there was no good bookseller shop that people at Philadelphia could depend upon. He also admitted that the printers in New York and Philadelphia only sold papers (Franklin p.61). Book lovers were forced to send out for books from England.
Then, Benjamin suggested to Junto members that they should bring their books to the room where they had hired for their meetings (Franklin p.101). After bringing all the books, members of the club were supposed to borrow books they wished, so that they can read at home. Later after seeing the benefit of the book collection, Benjamin suggested that they consider the public and make it a public subscription library. Benjamin and the team then came up with a sketch of plan and rules that would govern the library. They hired Mr. Charles Brockden, who was a skilled conveyance for that job (Franklin 102). There was a fee that the fist purchaser was supposed to pay and an annual contribution for any additional book. Even though there were few readers in Philadelphia, at the time when they begun the public library, the little amount they got, thy imported the books and the library started to function, one day per week.
Benjamin's effort to establish the library was not wasted; it manifested its utility. The first effect of the library is that other town and provinces borrowed the idea. Other places imitated that idea and opened other public libraries. More libraries were opened, and people could get access to books (Franklin p.112). Another effect was that book donors came up, and the libraries were foiled with books from donors. In his words, Benjamin said that reading became the fashion of the day. Most people diverted their attention and leisure time to reading and studying (Franklin 113). But the greatest effect and impact that was caused by that library is that most people were acquainted with books and that generation was more knowledgeable and intelligent than any other people of the same rank in other countries.
Franklin did not just made strands by establishing a public library; he also had a quest for moral perfection. In his quest for moral perfection, he was able to convince both the bold and the intellect with his project (Franklin 120). Franklin wished that he would live his life without committing any fault. He was convinced to do this by all means and natural inclination even if it would cause him to lose his friends. His thoughts could not accept the fact that one can either be wrong or right, he believed that a person can do well and avoid wrong. But in his words, he also admitted that he had undertaken one of the greatest tasks in trying to prove moral perfection (Franklin p.120). Benjamin concluded that in his quest to do right, the wrong always surprised him. He talks about habits taking advantage of the good intentions, and this he said, was too strong for reasoning. Benjamin also concluded that even if we have the drive to be virtuous, that does not stop one to slip. Therefore, he believed that every wrong habit must be broken and new and good one to be acquired and embraced for one to be dependable and steady (Franklin p.120). He then comes up with a method that was to help him prove his philosophy.
In his readings, Benjamin has come across various moral values that he incorporated them in his catalog. Benjamin then came up with a list of thirteen moral values that he promised to undergo the test by himself. He then purposed that until he has attained one of the virtues in the list, is when he will proceed to the next (Franklin p.121). He made a book where he allotted the virtues and marked his progress. The result was a success because; he noticed a big change in his personal habits. The most challenging virtue to maintain was temperance. Temperance deals with eating and drinking habits (Franklin p.122). He could find that he has already gone against this habit even without his conscious.
But another question that one may ask after reading this autobiography is what does "a speckled ax is best, mean? This quote is derived from a short story of a man who bought an ax from a Smith. The ax was supposed to be grinded every time and then after being used but the man did not do so and at the end he desired the speckled ax (Franklin p.96). Therefore, Benjamin likened it to most people who desired to break bad habits but find it hard to go through the process. Henceforth, this saying means that most people would like to have good habits but in the long run, they give up at the process of discipline. They then end up settling for mediocre virtues. Reason being, those who press on for good morals, end up to be hated and envied by their friends.
Benjamin Franklin was a very religious man because he associated his prosperity with the blessings of God. In his autobiography, Benjamin speaks a lot about God. He said that one ought to give thanks to God for giving them life and comfort (Franklin p.106). He was religious because, with all humility, he owes his happiness and success to God's kind provision. He also talked about the punishment of God to offenses (Franklinp.107). Also, Benjamin was a religious man and for that matter a Christian, the reason being he quotes a lot of Holy Scriptures in his writings and his beliefs and arguments were inspired by the scriptures. For example, he quotes Solomon 3:16, 17, whereby he viewed God to be the foundation of all wisdom (Franklin p.108). Benjamin believed in one God who created all things. He concluded that God will reward good virtues and punish bad habits.

Comparison and Contrast of the "Marshmallow Experiment" and "Don't! The Secret of Self-Control"
The referenced YouTube video, entitled the "Marshmallow Experiment", presents Professor Phillip G. Zimbardo revisiting the "Marshmallow Temptation Study", first led during the late 1960s/early 1970s by Stanford Psychology Professor Walter Mischel. Throughout the course of this study, Mischel attempted to identify how children oriented to time, or more specifically, whether a child was present oriented or future oriented. Additionally, Mischel sought to understand how a child's orientation to time, whether present or future, affected their overall decision making process; with the premise that how a child orients to time, indicates how well the child will perform in school. Furthermore, Mischel argued, by recognizing how a child orients to time, one will then be able to predict the quality of the decisions the child is most likely to make once they enter adulthood.
The "Marshmallow Temptation Study" was conducted amidst a group of four-year-old children participants. During the study, the children were offered one marshmallow and told they were allowed to eat the marshmallow immediately. However, prior to the children consuming their single marshmallow, they were informed that if they were to wait to eat their marshmallow until after they were left alone with it for a period of time, then they would be given an extra marshmallow to eat; thus, instead of receiving only one marshmallow and eating it immediately, they would receive two marshmallows if they waited (e.g., delayed gratification). While most of the participants did not hesitate to eat the marshmallow immediately after they were left alone with it (e.g., present oriented children), some of the participants resisted the temptation to do so (e.g., future oriented children). Watch the video below:
More than a decade later, when the study's participants were interviewed at the age of eighteen, the differences between the present oriented children (e.g., those who were unable to delay gratification) and the future oriented children (e.g., those who were able to resist immediate temptation) were astounding! For example, the children who were categorized as future oriented, scored 250 points higher on their SATs than those children who were considered more present oriented. The future oriented children were also regarded for their cooperative nature, confidence, self-reliance, and ability to work well under pressure and with others. On the other hand, the personalities of the children who were thought to be more present oriented, were described as being moody, indecisive, prone to jealousy and envy, with the likelihood of overreacting when faced with frustration or adversity. Therefore, given the findings of the "Marshmallow Temptation Study", it can be concluded that a child's ability to delay gratification can indeed predict the quality of the decisions they are most likely to make as an adult, and by association, their future outcomes.
Finally, the "Marshmallow Experiment" YouTube video concludes with Professor P. G. Zimbardo discussing the results of the "Marshmallow Temptation Study" in relation to one's personal happiness. According to Professor P. G. Zimbardo and his published work—The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life, one's personal relationship to time plays an important role in one's personal happiness; for instance, to attain a keen understanding of one's self (e.g., self-concept and self-awareness), in addition to an increased familiarity with social institutions (e.g., religion, politics, business, and national destinies), Zimbardo's Time Paradox explains how to recognize one's personal approach towards time, and how said approach impacts one's daily decisions. Moreover, Zimbardo's Time Paradox addresses the procedure necessary for an individual to distinguish how he or she personally orients to time; and, by the same token, this knowledge supports and encourages an individual in overpowering the hidden mental biases consuming and/or confining an individual to his or her past experiences. Subsequently, one's harmful fixation with instant gratification is disrupted, and any apprehension surrounding one's long-term goals is disbanded. This YouTube video concludes with Professor Zimbardo reiterating how his book, The Time Paradox, details how to improve one's personal success, happiness, and psychological health/wellbeing, by essentially making one's time work for their benefit(s).
In comparison, the May 2009 edition of "The New Yorker" featured an article written by John Lehrer entitled—Don't! The Secret of Self-Control, during which Lehrer similarly discussed Mischel's "Marshmallow Temptation Study". However, instead of emerging from the perspective of a self-proclaimed colleague of Walter Mischel's, Professor Phillip G. Zimbardo, Lehrer (2009) recounted the details of the "Marshmallo
w Temptation Study" from Walter Mischel himself, as well as Craig and Carolyn Weisz (a brother and sister who participated as children during Mischel's initial experiment in the latter part of the 1960s), Karen Sortino (mom to Craig and Carolyn Weisz), and fellow colleagues of Mischel's, including Ozlem Ayduk, Marc Berman, Angela Lee Duckworth, John Jonides, David Levin, Yuichi Shoda, and Jennifer Winters. In other words, Lehrer's (2009) Don't! The Secret of Self-Control, is a third person point of view profile feature article, written in the past tense, about Walter Mischel.
The article talks about Carolyn Weisz and her brother Craig who are now all grownup and in their forty's. They had both undertaken this experiment when they were kids. Carolyn at that was a four year old and decided to wait so that she could receive a second portion while Craig on the other hand could not wait. When asked to take a similar test again they both claim that they would probably take similar decisions as they did when they were kids. Carolyn admits that throughout her life she has be able to become tolerant and therefore very patent while on the other hand Craig admits that he has been the exact opposite of her sister. The article highlights that they turned out to be totally different people in life. Carolyn grew to be a very patient person and did she very well in school to the point of attain a PHD at a very young age. She was also very jovial and kind as well as being very successful in life. On the other hand, Craig was the complete opposite of her sister and he suggests that he wish he could have been a little patient because his life would have turned out to be better than it did.
Personal reactions.
Both the YouTube video and the article by John Lehrer on the New Yorker describe the marshmallow experiment. I find this experiment to be very interesting and I do agree with it on most part though there some areas I would have some disagreements. One area where I tend to agree with Walter Mitchell is that we can be able to determine the expected future behavior of an individual by studying his or her decision making process while at their childhood. For example in both cases that is the article and the YouTube, the psychologist were able to predict the future behaviors of the children under observation and it turned out to be true later on in life when they are grownups.
The marshmallow experiment also suggest that we can be able to tell whether will have a happy and productive life by being able to maneuver the time paradox. It suggests that this would help us understand the world around us because the time paradox influences most of the decisions we make in life. I totally agree with this argument because in the case of Carolyn and Craig it turned out exactly the same as it had been predicted. Carolyn is future oriented while his brother is present oriented. Their lives spun out to be the opposite with Carolyn being able to achieve a lot in her life while Craig does not. These two individuals make me believe that Walter Mitchell argument is valid.
However the only disagreement that I have with the marshmallow experiment is that while it has reported a high percentage of success, the situation would have been otherwise had these children been made aware of their conditions at a young age and therefore practice on improving their behavior. It probably turned out the way it did for Craig because he was not aware that he need to improve on his time paradox because it would affect his decision making process later in life. Had he been made aware of this experiment he would have practiced on improving his time paradox and today his situation would be different.

Imitation in Another Bullshit Night in Suck City
Imitation of Three Sections in Another Bullshit Night in Suck City
Fifty Years Ago
If you had been raised in a small countryside fifty years ago, somewhere in China, say, especially in an undeveloped place that is more than a bit laggard compared to cities like Shanghai and Beijing, and your parents were conservative, or stubborn, or both, then there would not be one single possible chance that they ever let you study abroad. It couldn't be done. Every teenager including you in the town, as long as they were about to graduate from high school, whether compliant or a rebel, all would take the National College Entrance Examination and stay in a national college, or to work. If you showed one bit interest in exploring foreign country by studying abroad for college. You parents would say, no one does it, you are insane, and they couldn't help wondering where was the crazy idea from. They would hold your hands with shaky hands and nearly a begging look on their faces, they would hold their breath waiting for you to admit you were joking, they would not believe whatever you said. They would forbid you from reading books about foreign countries, they would talk to all your friends, they would find out who is the "bad influence." They would not understand why you want to go to a place where the government does not control the TV stations, they would not understand why you want to go to a place where parents can't take care of you, they would not understand why you want to make your life so difficult to do something no one else in the region has done. They would adequately use their parental power to stop you from getting on the "wrong" path. If this was fifty years ago you left the town maybe once or twice a year for business purpose, none if you were a public servant, to get a peek at the outside world, and you might get the sense, probably rightly, that there is no where other than the town you can be. After all the years you had stayed at the same place without regular communication with the outside world, where else you can go? Where are you going to stay if not here?
(2009) I get drunk for the first time when I'm fourteen, at a bar called Fantasy. The education of tequila takes place in Fantasy, in midnight, at a holiday I can't remember. Without a specific drinking age limit in China, most teens have tried the taste of whisky, brandy, or tequila, but I haven't tried anything other than beer. My experienced friend Lee takes me with another friend that has been partying with him for two or three months, in case when I go nuts after drunk, they would still be able to send me home. We start with ten glasses of light cocktails and we empty them. I don't feel anything. Then we order a whole bottle of tequila and mix it with 7 Up soda to make Tequila Pop. At first, only one fifth of the glass is filled with tequila, then with half tequila half soda. I leave the bar drunk like dead. Fantasy is the best bar in the city that is only for the young, built by the most famous company in the province, called Qianxi, a company that has been there since 1900. My first time there was because of my mother, only 28 at that time, took me to her best friend's birthday party. She told me that they drank tons that night and her friend's driver sent us home, but I remembered that she was not drunk. I have never seen her drunk, not even with a whole bottle of wine, she could still cook my meal and check my math homework.
The October, one night just before my birthday, my father tells my mother and me to pack our stuff for an overnight trip and go out to his car. It is midnight, a school night. My mother just came back from a business dinner party, knowing nothing about the trip. He seems pretty excited. Today he told me that he saved a patient that all the other doctors said impossible to cure, maybe that's why we are having the trip. We drive down to the countryside nearby where they have a huge house they want to move to after they both retire. Town's asleep, rain drops. The light at the countryside is turned off and night, only the head lights shines in dark and quiet night. It was scarier that I expected. My father tells us to wait and disappear in a cornfield next to the house. After a while, he comes back with six ears of corns, big smile on his face. One dollar per ear of corn was too expensive. He explains to us. As a kid, we'd sneak into the cornfield, he snorts, to steal several ears of corns. He puts them in a plastic bag and passes it to me with a big smile. I probably see tears in his eyes.
Fucking Liar
On the mother's car, a kid is lying on the back seat, looking exhausted
Mom: How were your finals today?
Daughter: They were fine, mom. I am just tired. Three two-hour exams are killing me.
Mom: OK, sweetie. Take a nap. We will get home in half an hour.
Daughter: Nah. Just gonna wait till he get home.
(Daughter plays pop music, loud. For ten minutes, no one talks.)
Mom: (keeps driving) I am going to tell you something honey.
Daughter: (turns off the music) What, mom?
Mom: You grandfather passed away.
Daughter: (beat)
(Daughter sits up, freezes, looking at her mother)
Mom: Are you OK?
Daughter: (beat) How?
Mom: Heart attack.
Daughter: (beat) When?
Mom: Three days ago. Your father was with him.
Daughter: (beat) THREE days ago?
Mom: (look back) I am sorry. You were studying hard for the finals. I just couldn't tell you that.
(Beat) Daughter: I had three questions today on my English exam that I had no clue what the answer could be. It bothers me so much I probably will have to call the teacher and ask for the solution.
Mom: (pull over and lean back) Flora, he is old. Death is inevitable.
(beat) One day I am going to die.
(beat) And you too.
Daughter: Let's go upstairs.
(beat) I need to call the teacher for problems on exams today.
(Daughter gets off the car and heads to their house)
Mom: (stay in the car, sigh)

Fabian Cancellara won his 4th World Championship Time Trial last Thursday in Geelong, Australia at an average speed of 47.048 (on a bike!). Cancellara won by 1:02.75 seconds in 2010 in Australia, he won by 1:27.13 seconds in 2009 in Mendrisio, 0:52.1 seconds in 2007 in Stuttgart, and 1:01.29 seconds in 2006 in Salzburg. He dominated!
Taylor Phinney recently beat out Levi Leipheimer for the US National Time Trial Championship by only 00:00.2 seconds. It was that close. That is usually how it goes in time trial races - unless Fabian Cancellara shows up! Considering every man out there was giving it his all, Cancellara won Worlds by a lot of seconds, 62.75 seconds! Plus Cancellara's bikes have changed over the years, his competitors have changed, and each of the 4 courses were completely different. It is an amazing achievement to be World Champion 4 times. He is more than a Champion he is one of the best cyclists of all time.
Born in 1981 in Wohlen Swizterland to Italian parents who had immigrated from San Fele, Cancellara found an old family bike in the garage at age 13 and was immediately hooked on cycling. Four years later he was the Junior World Time Trial Champion, for two years in a row. At age 19 he came in 2nd at the U23 World Time Trial Championship.
That same year he signed with his first professional cycling team - Mapei. Cancellara had moved from the Juniors to the Pro level, pretty much avoiding the U23 category. At that time, it was believed that doping was more prevalent in U23 than in the Pro ranks. Giorgio Squinzi, head of Mapei at the time, both acknowledged this and recognized Cancellara's potential. Squinzi commented that Cancellara was going to be "the future Miguel Indurain".
After two seasons with Mapei, Cancellara joined Fasso Bortolo from 2003-2005, where he worked as lead-out man for Alessandro Petacchi. By 2004 he began to show real results in the big races, coming in 4th at Paris-Roubaix, and winning the Prologue of the Tour de France.
In 2006 he changed teams again to CSC and really started producing big wins. In 2009 he joined Saxo-Bank. In 2011 he is rumored to be joining the Luxembourg Pro Cycling Project team along with his good friends Andy and Frank Schleck.
One of the most surprising facts about Fabian Cancellara is his height and weight. He is larger than the average Pro Cyclist at 186cm (6'1") and 80kg (176lbs). He supposedly also enjoys snowboarding and mountain biking. He is married with one daughter. He has his own Fabian Cancellara Fan Club.
In his racing career Fabian Cancellara has won an Olympic Gold Medal, The Road World Time Trial Championships four times, the Paris-Roubaix two times, the Tour of Flanders once, the Tour de Suisse once, Milan-San Remo once, and has worn the yellow jersey for 19 days during the Tour de France. He was the National Road Champion of Switzerland in 2009.
Cancellara is so amazing to watch on a bike, I think videos might be the best way to profile him.
I also think it is very interesting to look at the difference of form between Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara. Cancellara has so much strength in his back and hips. This video is from the 2010 Paris-Roubaix, when Cancellara famously rode away from Boonen.

Forget MacBook M1: Holiday sale knocks $500 off fully loaded Dell XPS 13
By Louis Ramirez published 22 December 20
It packs 16GB of RAM and Core i7 CPU
Looking for a new laptop before the year ends? Here's a Christmas sale no one should miss.
Currently, you can get the Dell XPS 13 4K Touch Laptop (7390) on sale for $999.99 via coupon code "50OFF699". That's a whopping $550 off its original price and one of the best laptop deals we've seen all month.
Editor's Choice deal
XPS 13 4K Touch Laptop (7390): was $1,549 now $999 @ Dell
The XPS 13 is one of the best laptops you can buy. For a limited time, use coupon "50OFF699" to drop the price of this XPS 13 to just $999.99. It features a 13.3-inch 4K touchscreen display, Core i7-10510U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
Yes, the new MacBook Pro M1 is powerful, but it starts at $1,299, and you don't get a touchscreen. There's just a Touch Bar above the keyboard.
The Dell XPS 13 4K offers the perfect mix of power, style, and performance. The configuration on sale is a beast of a laptop. It packs a 13.3-inch 4K touchscreen display, Core i7-10510U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
At 2.7 pounds, the XPS 13 fits in just about any backpack, messenger bag, and even some purses. It's lighter than the Razer Blade Stealth, the HP Spectre x360, and even Apple's MacBook Air.
But don't let its slim design fool you. The XPS 13 is a workhorse. We were able to stream Netflix while keeping 25 Google Chrome tabs open and the XPS 13 didn't miss a beat.
Averaging 375 nits, the XPS 13's 4K display is also plenty bright, outshining the 318-nit average as well as the Razer Stealth's 346 nits and the Microsoft Surface's 321 nits. There is a trade-off, however. The power-hungry 4K screen means you'll get just under 8 hours of battery life. Otherwise, this is as good as laptop sales get.

With just 3 weeks left of the school term and yet another school year coming to an end, are you beginning to panic that you have not got enough lined up to keep your little ones happy for those 8 weeks; those 2 whole months; that entire sixth of your year? Stress levels rising?? Look no further.
Now we don't wish to be the cause of your stress levels sky rocketing. We know summer holidays are very special. Spending quality time with the family. Creating lasting memories with your friends. And enjoying a much needed time away from the office and/or UK. But whilst the idea of the above is all very comforting, the implicating and 'doing' part can be a little less so. In fact, so much so we can probably all admit to the daunting prospect prompting us in the past to have just settled for a 'stay-cation' instead. Or hopping in the car and visiting the grandparents just down the road for a long weekend (noted: children staying in situ for a little while longer).
Whilst we're not against 'stay-cations'. Nor visiting the grandparents. And we understand that both are very attractive prospects for those on a tight budget, time wise. We just do not think that this has to be the reason for not going abroad…nor bringing the grandparents with you!
That is why The Oxford Ski Company & luxury leading hotel in Verbier, W Hotel have teamed up to create an exclusive offer for our clients. For any bookings made before the 30th June 2014 for stays this summer, you will enjoy an exclusive 20% off all hotel rates.
Heralding its first season, W Hotel enjoyed exceptional success during its first Winter season this year. It is now flexing its muscles to welcome its first guests for this summer. With 6 restaurants and bars in the hotel alone, there is plenty to keep each and every palette satisfied; locally inspired Swiss dishes to tangy, exotic tapas – all at an exclusive 10% discount.
Outside of its resplendent walls you will find yourselves in a chocolate box, Alpine resort bursting at the seams with events, activities and festivals to entertain all ages. Verbier truly offers something for everyone. Paragliding, rock climbing, bungee jumping, heli-tours – the sky is truly the limit here. But for those that prefer to keep their feet on the ground there's horse riding, mountain biking, hiking and golf. As well as Verbier Festival; one of the leading Classical festivals of the calendar and Verbier's International Showjumping Competition which witnesses the top European riders taking centre stage at this renowned horsing event. And if it's not feeling 'holiday; enough…we've thrown in 20% off all spa treatments as well – certified especially for grandparents.
All this and within easy reach of Geneva airport; we believe a short haul 'hop, skip & a jump' has never been so easy this summer. Contact us to speak to one of our Specialist Hotel Consultants to book your stay at W Hotel this summer.

The combination of Earth and Fire is an exceptional blend with both the people with different approach. As the young and bright Aries soul craves for excitement in all forms, the strong headed Capricorn is decidedly more practical and earthy. For Aries love is demanding while for Capricorn it is undemanding and quiet exchange of affection.
The Capricorn man is a very sovereign and committed person with inbuilt wisdom and persistence. Generally he leads an ambitious life and pursues all the ambitions fiercely. He believes in permanence and self discipline and never involves in a relationship just for fun. In a relationship with an Aries woman, he is an affectionate partner with lots of understanding and patience to keep the relationship strong. Though at times he appears to be cold and detached, but it's just one of his characteristic, while deep inside he is a loyal lover.
The Aries woman has a jaunty and carefree personality. She is glowing and fervent about everything she gets her hands on in life. At times she can be arrogant and is usually very possessive regarding the love of her. She gives a lot of enthusiasm to her Capricorn man and always accepts and admires his wisdom and ambitious nature. Any kind of jealously within her can turn her fiercely cold towards him for a great length of time. However, the dedication and purity of love always brings her back to her Capricorn man.
The combination of an Aries woman and a Capricorn man is somewhat a typical relationship as both are extremely different from each other. An Aries woman on one hand, is very vivacious, and expressive whereas a Capricorn man is an introvert, but a determined person. But as you know, opposite attracts, so it may be possible for an Aries woman and a Capricorn man to match perfectly with each other. We advises that patience and tolerance from both sides are important to live life peacefully.
The Aries woman's positivity and sparkling personality impress a Capricorn man. As she finds him mysterious, his strong silent aura excites her and brings closer to him. She always stands for him to help him fulfill all his ambitions and also provides him with lots of excitement and passion in his life. Though her carefree nature sometimes disturbs him but as he reaches around middle age and becomes a little more carefree he tends to enjoy her company a lot. She coaxes him into the world of dreams and teaches him to live with less caution. She deeply admires him for his rock solid determination, tolerance and sincerity towards her and their relationship. She may sometimes hide her feelings from him because she finds him as cold and detached but she needs to understand that deep inside his lonely heart, he just loves and cares for her.
The calm and composed surface of the Capricorn man pulls the Aries woman towards him. He is usually a self motivated person busy realizing his ambitions. Once he accepts a woman in his life, it is a serious thing for him. He finds her foolish sometimes but totally adores her innocence. He titters at her mistakes and grins at her profligacy. He gives her undivided attention and tames her fiery personality very calmly through his patience and mild approach. He makes her a more conventional and acceptable person with his devoted love. He always loves the strong personality of his Aries maiden and gives her complete freedom to enjoy her adventures but with some care.
As the time passes and Earth and Fire starts blending nicely to just provide shelter and warmth to each other, this relationship takes a very beautiful picture. When they permanently overcome their mutual unintentional selfishness with their deep love, nothing can separate them. The strength of their love is unconquerable. Their unison is delicately decorated with all earthy and fiery beauties. An Aries woman is spontaneous and ardent, governed by her emotions while Capricorn man has more practical motivations. As they both come a long way together, they blend their differences so beautifully and they enjoy the rainbow of absolute and pure love throughout their lives. And when they finally have a harmonious relationship admiring each others differences, they grow a deep and lasting devotion both emotionally and sexually.
When the Fire and Earth signs connect physically, the intimacy may take some time to form up. Usually in the sexual relationship between an Aries woman and Capricorn man, she takes her chances. She is the one in this relationship to initiate physical relationship. She brings excitement and passion to their love making while he brings deep warmth and permanence to it. He enjoys observing her body and how it jiggles and wiggles with just about any little movement. When she catches him when he's too weak to resist, he responds to her fresh, enthusiastic expressions of love with profound intensity and a depth of affection that surprises as much as delights her. She could help her physical relationship by motivating him, a little help, a little support and a little encouragement. The intensity of their oneness makes them want each other more and enhances their relationship more charmingly. They both love to explore and fondle each other, together. Both have a lot of fun being explored, fondled, cuddled, and get squeezed in lusciousness of the moment. He gives up himself over to the pure bliss of the moment and this comes as an award to her. A moment when she totally owns her Capricorn man.
The strains, worries and misinterpretations are quite obvious between the Capricorn man and Aries woman. The biggest fault comes where they both are selfish in their own ways and defends their way to be right. Though he loves the independence and courage of her, he cannot justify her impulsive reactions. Similarly, she always respects the determination and patience of him but finds him cold and detached making her insecure. She needs to be less demanding and he needs to be more expressive if they really value their relationship and want it to work. To maintain a healthy relationship between the two, they need to have ample amount of communication. If they both are patient enough and wait for the wisdom of their hearts to guide them, they definitely enjoy a beautiful relationship throughout their life.
