I have attended three CMP campuses, and have been in the program since kindergarten. I am now a sophmore in highschool, and reflecting on my CMP experience, this was my favorite campus. I started at the Carmichael campus, and loved it until about 5th grade, where my issues were not properly taken care of. I was constantly being disciplined, and falsely accused of things I didn't do. In seventh grade, the school had moved, and my parents found the campus unsafe due to a school for sex offenders right next to the CMP campus, and even though we had security and gates, my parents felt moving me campuses was a better choice. I did not get in to the AR campus, and I was devastated I had to come to capitol. However, looking back, seventh grade was my favorite grade by far. I had a class of 19 kids, the teachers cared, and helped me when I needed it. The kids in the class were all like a family, and almost everyone liked and respected everyone else. We went on several immersion trips (one each of the 5 cycles) and there was almost no drama. Unfortunatley, I only got to stay at this campus for most of the year, due to family problems. I transferred to AR and constantly wanted to come back.

We are in our first year at CMP and LOVE it. The teachers and administrators are amazing. I had heard the principal did not have a great reputation, but she is working very hard to change that. We came from a Montessori Preschool and are very happy with CMP's program.

Our child came to CMP from an aggressively rigid private school. His test scores were top of his class however he was very anxious and being constantly being disciplined. We were cautious about him slipping academically with the switch but he has continued to excel in the montessori environment and most of his anxiety issues have subsided. Children need the space and movement. We recently provided childcare for our child's friend who is still at the private school and his mother asked us to work on vocabulary words for a test. I was pleasantly surprised that my child already knew 80% of the words (spelling & definition) whereas the other child was just learning them. Our child is learning at his peers level without all the tears, phone calls from the principle and massive amounts of homework. The school administration have improved their communication and we feel we are aware about what events are happening and are informed to our child's progress in the classroom. The office staff is friendly, approachable and responds quickly to requests. The principle is visible and seems more personable. Be sure to visit several classrooms as teaching styles vary.

My son started kindergarten at this school and he is now in the 6-9 class. His teachers have been attentive and caring, and his social development has been impressive. There is a strong emphasis upon having the students treat each other with respect which has helped him a great deal. Staff responded promptly to a minor episode where my son was upset with what a couple of other students had done to you. He looks forward to going to school, does his homework and is progressing well in all of his subjects.

We are starting our 4th year at this school and I have nothing but praise for the teachers, staff and parents here. It is not for everyone, of course, but I have found the gentle Montessori approach has been a great help for our son, who tends to be a sensitive to harsher teaching methods at traditional schools. He has learned the importance of self-motivation and organization. Class size is another motivator. The teacher-to-student ratio is much lower here than at other schools and the teachers are here because they believe in the Montessori method... which makes them much more compassionate leaders. They do test here, since it's a public charter, but the difference is they really do NOT make a big deal about it. Unlike Phoebe Hearst, where the STAR test is all important, the teachers here encourage the students to get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast and do their best. That's all. It's a breath of fresh air, as far as I'm concerned.

I strongly disagree this is not a good school for children who are easily distracted. My son was diagnosed with ADHD and has excelled in a Montessori environment. The smaller class size allows for more one on one attention from the teacher and teaching assistant. Students can focus on areas that they excel and love while still learning other subjects.

We are rounding out our first year at CMP Capitol Campus. While I will agree with the previous comment that Montessori isn't for every child, I disagree with the statement that a "normal child desires not to work hard." Our individual motivators & intrisic deires vary from person to person~& I don't think that's a solid theory. Montessori works well for a specific "type" of person. I have been an educator myself for over a decade & I definitely can describe some of the attributes one needs to have a successful Montessori experience. You need to tour the school before signing on. That said, yes, there are parent participation hours. If you don't like participating-or you simply can't, this isn't for you. If you can afford to "buy out" your hours, you can do that too. Yes, there are lots of fund-raisers. We buy/sell what we can, & we've never stressed about it, & never gotten the message or impression that what we've bought/sold isn't enough. We use & appreciate the clothes trading closet, a nice perk about school uniforms here. The staff work well together, planning & coordinating-evident in the festivals & celebrations throughout the year. The older kids are a bit rowdy- I agree.

This isn't the right school for our child. We were very inspired by the Montessori values and teaching methods, and I think this could be very good for students who struggle in traditional classrooms. However, our child needs to be challenged by an authority. The teachers here try, but let the child decide if that is what they want. Our child has too much potential and normal child desires to not work hard. Putting the child in charge, teaching younger students, and conflict resolution skills are some of the high points of the Montessori way. Just isn't right for our child.

My child comes home saying their class is out of hand and the students are becoming more and more disresceptful to the teachers. My child says their teacher doesn't have control of the class and it's affecting their concentration and ability to learn. I've addressed concerns with the teacher and the principle only to be ignored. I;m looking into other options if things don't turn around by the winter break. Crossing fingers.

This is our second year at the Capitol campus. It is a wonderful school with that really honors each individual child. Class size is small-around 20-with one teacher and one teaching assistant in each classroom. Lessons are taught in small groups or individually-based on the students needs/rate, while acknowledging their successes, in this way, the environment is ideal for both the high achiever as well as children who progress at a slower rate. As a parent with kids at both ends, I appreciate that they each have their needs met! . Every year, API has risen and is above state standards-quite amazing when considering around half of the students newly enrolled are also new to Montessori. Classrooms are beautiful-teachers seem to spend a lot of effort in creating an attractive,comfortable, home like environment with curtains, rugs, lamps, art, etc. using natural materials and soothing colors, often when I am volunteering, I notice the teachers playing gentle background music while the the kids are working. It is a really peaceful environment, and the kids are taught good conflict resolution skills, helping the kids to make their own peace.

This is a wonderful school which is dedicated to educating the "whole child" in a warm and loving community. They assess all the children and provide each child with an individualized work plan, instead of teaching everyone the same thing. The Montessori approach is great if your child is academically advanced, interested in learning, and independent. I could not be more impressed with my child's teacher and the enrichment my child receives at this school. My child's attention span, attitude, and social skills have improved greatly as a result of the teacher's patience and classroom environment. I can't believe that this school is tuition free!

So far I'm not impressed, I know it's early on in the school year but I wonder if my child is even learning anything yet. This is not a school for a child who doesnt have self motivation when dealing with school work. Also, if your child is easily distracted by others these classroom might not work. As these are child-driven classes, whereas the teacher doesn't seem to have any authority in the class. Very lax and laid back, go with the flow enviroment.

I'm not impressed with the rude admin staff, teacher and principal was hard to get a moment with/return phone call/email.You re not allowed to come to the class before & after school the teachers have duties or meetings so no time to wait = SOL.There is a lot of turn over with the teachers, it seemed as if my child s teaching assistant 9-12 wasn t up to par, she was often mia . However even with the lack of parent/teacher/principal communication the parents and students are very resourceful and a great community. There is a great amount of parent participation and everyone is always willing to help where needed. Unfortunately the parents are not the ones I want to always hear from. I absolutely loath the afterschool pickup car line which always seems to lack order&consistency. Takes about 15 minutes for my child to be corralled out. Another good aspect is they offered lunch program, after school extracurricular activities,club before/after school care,focus on respectful and environment. My child enjoyed the assemblies,field trips,culture night,science fair,continent party&harvest festival.

I love this school but it's not perfect. In my experience, everything that goes on in the classroom is wonderful - supportive teachers, a curriculum that is challenging and moves at the pace of the child, includes lots of art, science and music and instills a sense of responsibility and community. I have major issues with the principal. She doesn't answer emails, she consistently ignores the parents and it feels like she is running a private school with zero tuition (which is the justification for the repeated requests for donations and the reason many low income families feel marginalized here). I wouldn't move my kids to any other school so I'm hoping that the parents can band together to make the administration reflect the passion, cooperation and sense of community that is present in the classroom.

The teachers in the 6-9 classes are wonderful but most of the teachers in 9-12, the rude office staff and the absent and out of touch administrators at this site are the main reasons we are looking elsewhere for the next academic year. My student's current teacher never returns my emails and you have to have a computer ( Yes, there are still people who do not have access to a computer at home) and keep abreast of the newsletters on Fridays to find out what's going on in the classroom and when projects and assignments are due. If you have questions about assignments, projects or about the field trips, good luck getting a response. I'm very disappointed in the direction the school has gone and we are sad that we have to look for other options.

My daughter started Kindergarten here and will continue next year. We've had a fantastic experience. The teachers have all proven to be passionate, caring and responsive. I've never had an issue that wasn't resolved. The parent participation here is phenomenal. Everyone pitches in; whether it's time, volunteer work, purchasing items, donating, etc. We are in true partnership with school staff, which is what a charter school is about. I am very well aware of what happens with my daughter as they send out weekly newsletters. Not only has my daughter mastered her required academics, she's also being taught to be a responsible, productive member of her community. Love it!

We started looking into other options besides traditional public school when we realized how limiting they are in Sac. City. My child gets art, music, and science weekly, plus PE and yoga. There's a new gardening program in place that is looking into composting. He performs a full play every year. He goes on about 7 field trips each year. The school offers more music, art and sports teams after school. Each class uses a computer program and each child learns a language chosen by the parent. He participates in the science fair. Only some of these things are offered at public school, and usually, it is very limited. Teachers are open to suggestions and send out weekly newsletters. Most important to me, curriculum can be adjusted by teachers if needed. Not traditional Mont. education (due to charter regs) , but we love this school and are so happy with it!

My child has been in the school since kindergarten and unfortunately, I am not in a position to have him change schools due to custody issues. However if I could I would, yes the school is tuition free but it does not fail to ask for money every week and offer times to pay off your parent participation hours with cash. I highly object to that and find it offensive. The school has too much going on all at once which makes it overwhelming to both parents and students, The staff has a high turnover rate both in the administration, before/after school program and teachers, every year there has been new teachers in both of the 6-9 classes. Now with the relocation of the school they are changing the format once again.What I find most concerning is that they do not operate, as a Montessori should, teaching to star testing.

This is a charter school with a principal & staff who are truly passionate about teaching & children. The parents are also awesome in going beyond the required no. of parent hours. Kids not only learn the academic stuff but also learn how to be responsible for the choices they make & how to be part of the community they are in. Parents have to be involved for their child to be successful in this school. It's not a perfect school as there is none but it certainly is the best for my kids.

I have a child in 2nd grade and one that will start Kindergarten next year. I am very happy with the school and all the parent participation. The teachers are definitely great and have an appreciation for the Montessori Method which makes it a great experience for my child and my family. If you are looking for a great Montessori Charter School, this is it! We love it!

Risen and Revisited: It Follows (2014)
Hey there, Creepy Peeps! It's time for another Revisit Review and on the agenda today is one that I just knew I was going to have a different opinion on this time around: It Follows (David Robert Mitchell, 2014). You can watch my original review here (or, you know, I'll just summarize it below):
When I first saw It Follows, I was coming off some not-so-great movies that I had previously reviewed on my channel, like Ouija (Stiles White, 2014) and The Pyramid (Grégory Levasseur, 2014). So, you can imagine the artsy, stylized It Follows with the amazing soundtrack really blew me away. I also felt the subtext of the movie was so super deep and meaningful, and I just know I felt super smart talking about it in my video (which I did not, in case you didn't notice). The film is an overt metaphor for sexually-transmitted disease and the cons to being sexually active; that much is obvious. I also noted the irony of the film's 80s-like feel and the idea of "vice precedes slice and dice" that was so prevalent in 80s slasher films. Basically, I thought it was funny that having sex means you could potentially catch "it;" the irony being that the only way to rid yourself of "it" is to do that thing that got you in trouble in the first place.
This time around I got a little more out of the subtext. I felt that It Follows sends a much more important message about sex – you know, besides the other super important message to practice safe sex. A lot of Jay's (Maika Monroe) inner conflict comes from her deciding whether she is going to try and pass "it" on to someone else. Sex at this point becomes more like a chore rather than something enjoyable; you can see it in her face when she tries to pass it to Greg (Daniel Zovatto) and then Paul (Keir Gilchrist). I think the movie sends a very important message that sex is an intimate act and should not be shared with just anyone. I also like that we don't know whether Jay is a virgin or not before she catches "it," and the movie isn't placing too much importance on losing your virginity (like so many other movies do).
I still love the score, and I think it's so rare for me to love the score of the movie but not love the movie so much. Like my past self, I still find the idea of these people just walking towards Jay to be very unsettling. QUICK STORY TIME (for some context): When I first saw this movie, I was still working at Panera Bread and I often had to be at work at 5 a.m., so obviously I left the house when it was still dark. Now, the space between my house and my neighbor's is very dark and neither I nor my neighbor has lights on that side of our homes. When I would leave my house in the morning, that pitch-black space was to my back and after seeing It Follows, I kept imaging a person walking out of the dark towards me when my back was turned. In summation, this movie made me so paranoid that whenever I left for work in the dark, I would sprint from my front door into my car…for weeks. So, I can completely understand director David Robert Mitchell's nightmare that inspired It Follows, and I still find the random people walking for Jay to be scary.
All that said, I found the rest of the movie to be boring this time around. I didn't find anything likable in the characters and Jay is just stupid. If someone had something constantly following them, they should be more aware of their surroundings; not Jay! Homegirl just chills on a beach with her back to the woods and NOT TO THE OCEAN AREYOUKIDDINGME?? So dumb. And then we must talk about this ending….so Paul passes it to a hooker? We don't really know, but yippee for them cause he's going steady with Jay now? What about "it"? I don't think an open-ending like this suits the film, I need closure.
Overall, my opinion of It Follows has very much diminished since my first viewing and the only thing associated with the film I will continue to enjoy is the score. What do you guys think of It Follows? Let me know in the comments!
If you haven't seen It Follows, you can watch it on Amazon Video (the link below will take you it and is an Affiliate link). It's also on Netflix, too!

Gallery opening reception to follow in the Russo Gallery, first floor of the Haldeman Center. The Burakian's photos will be in the Gallery through December.
In the summer of 2011, Eli Burakian .00 and Julia Burakian .01 embarked on a project to map and photograph the Himnakan Janapar, or backbone trail, through the region known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is a self-proclaimed autonomous region which lies between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Although internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan, the region is populated almost exclusively by people of Armenian descent, and was the location of a vicious war between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh on one side, and Azerbaijan on the other. The Burakians. photographs examine the landscape and people of this region. Julia lived and taught in Armenia with the help of a two-year Dickey Center Lombard Fellowship after graduation. She and Eli continue to visit the region to explore and photograph the area.s amazing landscape, people, and churches (many of which are over 1,000 years old).
Events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.

This summer my family teamed up with some good friends to go hiking in the Pyrenees. We were 4 adults and 5 kids. These mountains are high, steep, hot and extraordinary beautiful. During these weeks two things became very clear to me:
Children can be incredibly strong and mentally tough. Much more so than I imagined. As long as things are kept fun and without pressure to perform they seem to quite happily tag along. Even so when "along" is a kilometer high slope. Also, the French keep their natural surroundings absolutely litter free. They seem to practice the "leave no trace behind" philosophy with great dedication. Gotta love it!

Sergio Tacchini celebrates a decade as the official outfitter of the Monte Carlo Masters with a brand new collection, featuring uniforms for on-court officials, including chair umpires, line umpires and ball boys and girls.
The uniform polo shirt features bright colours, mostly turquoise and a thin neon orange piping outlining the raglan sleeve, and it will be made from techno fabric like the pro range match uniforms. This polo shirt, a merchandising item, will make a souvenir to wear at matches on the court. A novelty this year is the introduction of the Italian flag detail on many items of the collection: on the wristbands of the ball boys and girls, on the zips of track tops and bomber jackets and even on the official towels used by the players on the court.
The footwear includes a new technical shoe for ball boys and girls and court staff in a colourful mesh that matches the uniforms. The leather version of the same shoe style has a classic look but a sporty performance, ideal for training on the court.
A few items from the collection:
Roger Federer defeated an injured Marin Cilic in straight sets 6-3 6-1 6-4, to win a record eight Wimbledon title, his 19th overall.
To honor his victory, Nike is releasing a limited number of all-white NIKELAB Oscillate Evolve RF shoes (the style pays homage to 1997's Tinker Hatfield-designed Nike Air Oscillate, which is one of Federer's favorite Nike Tennis silhouettes) customized with a laser-etched 8 on the heel. The shoe will be available July 17 at NikeTown London and 21 Mercer.
Additionally, Nike will release two commemorative T-shirts. The first proudly displays the Ro8er logo, representing his record-breaking eighth title at SW19.
The second, pictured below, celebrates Federer's 19th major and features an RF logo crest on the chest surrounded eight ivy leaves (one for each of his London wins).
Both shirts will be available July 17.

IT minister Anusha awarded UN 'Global Achievers' award
NEW YORK: Minister of State for Information Technology Anusha Rahman has been awarded the 'GEM-TECH Global Achievers 2015' award by the ITU and UN Women for initiating "a number of projects and programmes that have had a profound impact on the ICT sector in Pakistan."
Receiving her award at an impressive ceremony at New York's Civic Centre, Anusha pledged to continue her work for the cause of women empowerment through technology.
"I dedicate this award to the people of Pakistan, specially the young girls and women of my country," she said.
The event was held jointly by two United Nations bodies — UN Women and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) — on the sidelines of a high-level session of the UN General Assembly aimed at narrowing the digital divide and harnessing the power of information technology.
The award was conferred on Rahman in recognition of her work on the development of the ICTs and, especially the practical initiatives for the cause of women and girls.
Take a look: Anusha Rahman: 'IT girl' in a boy's world
Handing over the awards were Malcolm Johnson, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Standardisation Bureau and Lakshmi Puri, Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and Deputy Executive Director of UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
Organisers said 150 individuals and organisations from 55 countries were nominated for the award. The selection process was difficult, but finally Anusha Rahman was among the three winners, they said. The two others were: US Ambassador to the United Nations Mission in Geneva Ambassador Pamela Hamamoto and Nancy Hafkin of the United States, a champion of gender equality.
Three organisations dedicated to women's empowerment, one a global body and two others from Thailand and Senegal also won awards.
"Today I stand here as one of the millions of emancipated women of Pakistan who undoubtedly if provided the right opportunities are capable of rising to any level of success," the minister told the large and distinguished audience.
"I would not have been here if it were not for the confidence and opportunity provided by my political leadership. Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Finance Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar provided me a platform to deliver on our collective dreams for the people of Pakistan," she said.
"There are billions of women who, if provided the right opportunities, have the potential to contribute to the achievement of the ambitious global development agenda that the nations have collectively set for themselves."
The minister's initiatives of direct significance include technical ICT skill development and capacity building program particularly for disadvantaged women from the lowest strata of the society to enable self-employment opportunities for them.
They include a special program for disadvantaged girls, which gives girls access to learning computer science and economic opportunities, and a startup incubator program, which offers mentorship, commercial, legal and financial help for young people and young women in particular. She also undertaken several other policy and legislative initiatives with direct relevance to furthering women's empowerment.
In her special initiative for girls, Rahman said the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT) has partnered with Microsoft Corporation to increase access for all girls particularly those extremely disadvantaged, to learn computer and communication skills.
Besides, the bedrock component for improving digital literacy of young girls particularly focused training will be delivered to these girls, at purpose specific facilities and infrastructure being funded by the Universal Services Fund (USF), for commercially relevant certification in software coding and simple application development through intuitive and simple and non-complex interface.
This programme, which in its inaugural year 2016 will enable economic opportunity for thousands of girls every year, and will be replicated for hundreds and thousands of youth and women through institutionalisation in more 500 purpose built Telecenters also being launched by the USF program in the next two years through Public Private Partnership with the industry through a subsidy funding, the minister said.

Call it beginner's luck, but Mike Rollins is holding his own against Kaipo Jenkins. Rollins, an electrical engineer, has never played kōnane; Jenkins, on the other hand, teaches it as part of a cultural class and has played for fifty years. Their experience levels are as black and white as the stones on the papamū—the board that's used to play this ancient game of "Hawaiian checkers."
A test of strategy, kōnane is more similar to chess than checkers in that players must trap their opponents; you remove a stone by "jumping it" much as you would in checkers, but you don't lose the game by running out of stones—rather, you lose when you run out of moves. It's a game warriors would play to prep for battle—training their minds to analyze the potential consequences of their moves. Missionaries frowned on the game (for its alleged ties to gambling), and play was discouraged as part of a greater effort to suppress native culture. Much like the Hawaiian language, however, kōnane survived in the home and is today experiencing a revival: You can now buy boards online, and there's even a kōnane app.
At this year's annual Celebration of the Arts held at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, Rollins and Jenkins are tangling in the final of the festival's first-ever tournament. Some of the entrants are 60 years old, while others are only 12, and Jenkins hides his eyes behind sunglasses like he's at the World Series of Poker. Rollins squeaked through the semifinal by beating 13-year-old Keo, who would have been pitted against Jenkins—his teacher—had he made the final.
With his students at Iao Intermediate School, Jenkins refers to the game as "Choices" because it teaches youth that, much like life, every move or choice you make has a role in determining the outcome. Plan ahead for success—but also don't look so far down the road that you miss the move in front of you. In the end it's Jenkins who triumphs over Rollins to claim the prize: a two-night stay at the Ritz-Carlton along with a Sunday buffet. The two swap words of mutual respect and appear to be mentally drained—just a couple of modern-day warriors battling to stay one move ahead.

ESWT is a specialised treatment we use to manage both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The shockwave is an intense, short energy wave that travels faster than sound and is generated from the shockwave machine outside the body (extra-corporeal).
ESWT was first devised to break down kidney stones as a non – surgical option. It was during these treatments that ESWT was found to have beneficial effects on surrounding tissues- hence leading to researchers applying the shockwave principal to other parts of the body. Many years and a lot of detailed research years later it has been found to have many beneficial effects. Our type of shockwave we use at Allegro Physiotherapy is specifically designed to treat some of the common musculoskeletal conditions we see below:

^ Huh??.. Cimboc?? I thought it was Memock!!
^ Huh??.. Cimboc?? I thought it was Memock!!
^ yea, of course it is ya dumb Ozzie but MM is in touch with Cimbo and hopefully he will be passing on some interm progress reports.
Cause they are good buddies you know, nod nod wink wink
^not sure how to take that
Anyways all I have been getting from him is SMS's saying where he is.
In fact I shall try to call him right now and see if I can get a quote and make sure he's been taking pictures.
OK that was quick...
MM arrived in knx (which is Kununurra) about an hour ago. I asked him for a quote to which he replied "Yep I've got some awesome photo's but have taken 6 million of them so will probably take six months to sort them out"
Anyway as I mentioned before he doesn't have his laptop but I think he will try to get online where he is staying.
Sounds awesome, looking forward to it
hope he sends a few teasers to show us what to expect

happy he has landed safe, with a great adventure under his belt!
Hi everyone,
Was an awesome trip for sure. With some spectacular scenary and some really REALLY boring parts as well.
Arrived on Thursday arfo as cimboc said and will be here till Thursday next week and then a 24hour trip home. Give me a few days to recover and then I will sort out the pics and start uploading.
News is what someone, somewhere is trying to suppress - everything else is just advertising.
^Finally, he surfaces....
Thanks for the updates cimboc.
Great stuff, MeMock. Is it pretty common to fly through Oz via helicopter? I'm really looking forward to your pic, even the boring ones.
Gonna be a long wait I reckon, at least my thread had pictures during flights this thread has been going for a month now and we still aint got a picture from memock
^ I second that.... come on MM get ya self sorted
He's busy babysitting.
The babysitting starts Friday Marmers which means work takes a back seat and I will have time after kids are in bed to get them done.
Okay, okay I admit - it was all a big joke and I never really did fly across Australia.
Well I sold the paper on April 2 last year and most people thought I was kidding.
Okay, finally things have settled down enough for me to start getting some of these pics online!
Things are still rather hectic so my apologies in advance if it takes a day or two to get everything uploaded.
My flight to Sydney was with Emirates and was fine. A $50 taxi ride to Bankstown where I had a hotel pre booked. Hotel was miles from anywhere so a pizza was ordered and a semi early night was had.
Before dawn I was out the front waiting for another taxi to take me to Bankstown airport. 4 phonecalls and 40 minutes later it finally turned up.
Here is the chopper getting fuelled up.
Here it is again with our luggage. We were only 7kg from max take off weight so there was a bit of planning to be done as to where the luggage was to be located etc.
^ Who stole the feet off the little white one in the background ?
So while they were sorting out weight and balances etc I amused myself by having a look in the hanger and checking out the chopper that handles all the traffic reports for the sydney tv and radio. The machine was decked out with all sorts of electronics and when I took its piccy it was already on it's second trip out after filling up with petrol.
Eventually we were ready and our new pilot did a perfect take off and we headed offfor a quick tour of Sydney before heading for Kununurra.
The weather sucked as you can see here.
and it didn't get any better...
we followed the river down to the harbour as well as passing over the olympic stadium.
There are some pretty flash houses on the harbour.
eventually we made the bridge.
William lives to the left around here
and had a good view of the city
A few more city shots
I think this is where the PM lives
I think this is rosehill.
And the were racing
Shouldn't this be in the Photoshop thread??
the last photo, yes.
Whats wrong with the others?

The simplicity of MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS) stack is galloping the most popular, free of charge, open source, web development stack LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, Perl or Python) stack and even Windows is facing a viable threat and adversary.
MEAN stack is gaining worldwide popularity and it is begging the question of whether or not this is the end of LAMP? While, simplicity and common structure of MEAN makes your life easier. But one cannot deny that LAMP still holds the most popular choice for web development. LAMP provides an adequate alternative to commercial packages and works as a bundle of software programs that provide the necessary platform to develop and implement web-based applications and servers. LAMP offers one of the most effective and popular ways of developing enterprise level web applications because of its flexibility, customization and cost effectiveness.
This debate of which one is better- MEAN or LAMP, has been confusing developers. To get answer to our question, lets us first get to know little bit about both the platforms.
In MEAN, MongoDB offers a more flexible, accommodating layer for storing data. Node.js provides a better nexus for running your server, while Express.js helps standardize how you build your websites. On the client and AngularJS provides a clean way of adding interactive functions. Put them all together and they make a clean, coherent mechanism for moving data from user to disk farm and back again.
On the other Hand, in LAMP the interaction that is permitted between the end users and the source due to the open source nature of the web development platform can be potentially modified to suit their needs and wishes. The use of PHP and MySQL permit easy coding and permits even novices to build something successfully and get it up and running. The deployment of LAMP web application is very simple as it uses the PHP as a standard APACHE module and uploads the PHP files through a MySQL Database to an APACHE server.
While LAMP describes a classic web server stack: Linux as the OS, Apache as the web server, MySQL as the data storage, PHP/Perl/Python as the scripting language for dynamic content. MEAN on the other hand, describes an application stack: MongoDB as the data storage, Express as the server-side application framework, AngularJS as the client-side application framework and Node.js as the server-side language environment (though this one is mostly in the acronym to make it sound cooler — "express" already implies node.js).
Below are the details to compare MEAN and LAMP stack, and offer a few tips for optimizing your choices.
|Horizontal scaling and is not easy and high transaction loads (millions of read-writes) seriously affect performance.
|MongoDB is very fast, but it achieves its performance by trading off consistency (in clustered setups). Thus, MongoDB is great when you need speed, flexibility in your model and can accept minor and relatively infrequent data loss.
|MySQL (RDBMS): Conventional database system
|MongoDB (NoSQL database): A cross-platform document-oriented database system. JSON-style documents with dynamic schemas provide simplicity and power, making the integration of data into certain applications (particularly Javascript-based ones) fast and easy.
|User development
|In LAMP for frontend you need JavaScript expert and backend you need is PHP/Perl/Python expert. LAMP also features multiple layers of navigation with various configuration files and differing syntax.
|For both frontend and backend you don't need PHP expert and a JavaScript expert, or a front-end and a back-end specialist. Instead, it's all JavaScript across the stack.
|LAMP's limiting factor is MySQL. It becomes bottleneck when more requests are send- i.e. if there is high concurrency MySQL fails to perform. MySQL works better when you have a low write/read ratio, and offers low scalability as the read/write ratio grows.
|MEAN scales all the layers of frontend, backend and database. MongoDB supports auto sharding and auto failover. When the data on one node exceed threshold, MongoDB automatically rearrange the data to evenly distribute the data. For your application code, a cluster looks just like a single node.
|LAMP is acclaimed as secure and stable platform.
|MEAN is also Stable and secure Platform.
|LAMP is Synchronous
|MEAN is Asynchronous
|LAMP is also open source but it gets costlier as for frontend and backend you need different specialists. It supports "Mix-Match"
|MEAN is cheaper to operate, because it is and open source and you don't need different specialists for frontend and backend and you can "Mix-Match"
Converting to the MEAN stack gives your development team a number of benefits, the three most significant being a single language from top to bottom, flexibility in deployment platform, and enhanced speed in data retrieval. However, the switch is not without trade-offs; any existing code will either need to be rewritten in JavaScript or integrated into the new stack in a non-obvious manner. While LAMP is a solution stack composed for building high-availability heavy-duty dynamic websites of various purposes and of all nature. LAMP has been seen as a powerful yet quite simple platform. It has the potential to drive the web application quite efficiently.
Both the platforms have their role to play. Ultimately the choice to switch to a MEAN stack from LAMP will be based in your organization and the priorities and use-cases for the project under development.
We at Mantra Labs have been frequently dealing with this dilemma when clients come to us. Hopefully, this will help clear some of the confusion regarding choice of platforms.

UX Design is one of the most sought-after jobs in today's tech-savvy world. And UX designers are popping up a dime a dozen. How do you sift out the best and hire the right UX designer for your software company?
From a hiring perspective, it is important to understand why exactly you are looking for in a UX designer. UX could mean different things to different people. For some the focus is on graphic design skills while others may give research the priority. You need to be able to understand what a UX designer does and where s/he fits in the overall scheme of your company's goals.
The size of your company or project will also determine the kind of UX designer you need. For example a startup may look for a UX designer who can contribute to other aspects as well, whereas a larger company may need a person who specializes in research.
Once you are clear on your requirements, you need to communicate these in a detailed job description or posting. The more clarity on the profile, the better the chances of the right hire.
Assuming you have done the above let us take a look at what the ideal UX candidate profile should be for a software company.
The UX Designer Needs To Understand Business: And yes! This is first on our list. A UX designer may have the tendency to focus only on research or the nitty-gritty's of visual design. However, a good UX designer will be able to ask questions about your business strategy understand sales figures and understand business operation methods that help the businesses productivity. The UX designer must be aware that the design is not just for the consumer but for the business as well.
They See The Big Picture: How will the idea change the consumers' behavior or the business process? The UX designer needs to have a holistic understanding of the process, while being able to focus on the details as well. They don't let the details bog them down. A good UX designer will consciously put in an effort to understand the big picture. S/he will try and gain insights from other people and will always have an eye on the overall scheme of things.
Communication Skills: The UX designer does not work in isolation. S/he has to work with a number of people, from members of the team to the end consumer. Being able to communicate his/her ideas effectively to all these people is a key skill in UX design. The UX designers' job does not end at wireframes and design mocks.
Communication is complex. It is not limited to speaking or writing well. Majority of our communication is non-verbal and visual. A good UX designer relies a lot on non-verbal communication while conducting research or getting feedback from a consumer. Expressions, tone of voice and body language can convey far more than the said. The UX designer also relies on visual design to clearly convey ideas to the client or other team members.
Another overlooked aspect of UX communication is communication with the consumer. Verbally a good UX designer will be able to explain the software product in lay-man terms. Also when a consumer is using new software, every error message or button or any text that used in the program must be well thought out. If written correctly, the user will use it in the right way saving you time and money.
A Solution Seeker: Essentially a UX designer tries to solve an existing problem or prevent a future problem from cropping up. For this they need to have a curious bent of mind. Why aren't users responding well to a product? Why isn't a client satisfied? The UX designer is constantly asking these questions and seeking the solutions. A good UX designer will engage in the problem by asking insightful questions and listening actively.
Empathy: As the job title suggests, A UX designer needs to be able to enhance the users' experience. Along with curiosity, a key in achieving this is also empathy. A good UX designer needs to have the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes. They need to be good listeners and great observers. They need to be able to put the other person's needs before their own. This requires them to be able to act on what they have heard and observed. A good UX designer will also have humility. S/he will always ask questions and be ready to admit his/her shortcomings.
Educational Qualifications: UX design is the bridge between the consumer and the product. Consumers are human and a UX designer needs to understand how they behave. Products are technology and the UX designer needs to understand how they work. There are no 'must-have' degrees for UXers but having any of these on their profile is a plus point.
- Psychology/anthropology/Human-Computer Interaction or an allied field
- Computer science/programming/web development or an allied field
- Design thinking/Visual design/Interaction design/Fine arts or an allied field
There are also courses in User Experience Design itself.
However, this field is still quite nascent and your best talent may not even have a degree. While selecting a candidate educational qualifications are a plus and not a must.
Their Process: Often, user experience research is confined to what is called 'usability testing'. Essentially that means sharing a prototype of your product with users and collecting their feedback. Whilst this is an important part of UX design, it's not the best way to begin. Usability testing is a reactive process while user experience design is a proactive process.
A good UX designer will begin their by doing research. Even before the product has been designed or developed, the UXer will identify the market for the product, the competition it faces and its potential end users. The UXer will also reach out to the potential consumers and understand their needs. This is done through surveys, contextual interviews, observation etc. Based on this research the UXer will create a strategy.
While hiring a UX designer, understand the process they use. If research isn't their first step, chances are they are not the right fit for the job.
The Portfolio: A designer needs a portfolio and your ideal UX designer should have one. The style and presentation of the portfolio is not as important as its contents. The main thing to understand from a portfolio is not so much the final output, as it is where and how the candidate contributed to the process. A good portfolio will make this clear. If the candidates output has evolved over the years it shows the potential to grow. This is your ideal UX designer.
With the rapid changes in technology we witness today, it is important for software companies to keep innovating to stay current. Software companies need UX designers for this process. UX designers help envision great products for real users. They help the company work with a purpose and therefore work more efficiently. In the end, their purpose is to delight the user.

It seems that Rihanna has been partying really hard lately. The 24 year old singer was spotted enjoying herself on a yacht this summer and even had the media speculating if she was on a secret rendezvous with ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown.
Sadly, she was recently spotted looking overly drunk at 1 OAK in Las Vegas while partying with Ne-Yo. Riri is reported to have let herself get so drunk that she started vomiting on the dance-floor as she was dancing. A source who witnessed the pop star's drunken stupor says that she threw up into a napkin and someone who was with her had to give her a towel so that she could get herself cleaned up.
The really low moment of the night came when Riri decided to get into a verbal altercation with some random man. In her fuzzy haze, she told off the man and that was enough for the club security to get involved and restrain the Bajan singer.
Even after that incident, Riri and her crew still didn't call it a night. They continued to party right up until 5:30am, finishing their night of partying at a strip club.
Hopefully when Rihanna sobered up she decided to take a break from the club and party scene and maybe keep a low profile for a while.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined the faculty at Solo Practice University™, a web-based educational community that will help you learn about the one thing that most law schools fail to teach: the "practice of law."
At Solo Practice University™ I'll be teaching a course about web productivity and organization for lawyers.
The marriage of law and technology is a passion of mine and I've been fascinated by technology and computers for as long as I can remember.
My love affair with computers began in the early 1980s with the TRS-80. I learned how to use the BASIC programming language and from that point on I was hooked.
My freshman year in college, I took a computer programming class and for my final project created the game "Mastermind" using the Pascal programming language.I was really proud of that project.
In 1995, the fabulous World Wide Web was revealed to me. Things have never been the same since.
I began blogging in 2005 and currently publish 4 blogs. I am a social media enthusiast and am addicted to discovering and exploring the latest Web 2.0 web applications.
I find the intersection of law and technology to be particularly fascinating and am doing all that I can to facilitate the fusion of these two seemingly reluctant soul mates.
Therefore, I look forward to teaching my fellow legal professionals about Web 2.0 technologies and how emerging technologies can simplify the practice of law.
Another reason I'm so excited about my faculty position at Solo Practice University™ is that it perfectly complements a new business venture I'm in the process of launching--lawtechTalk. lawtechTalk will consist of webinars about the use of emerging Web 2.0 applications in your law practice.
The practice of law and technology are both fascinating fields. I look forward to exploring them with you!

Chocolate, caramel and shortbread – its a bite of heaven!
In honour of National Cupcake Day I decided to share one of my cupcake recipes. It's my back up sponge recipe (I can't give away all my secrets!) but it works perfectly in this cupcake combined with the caramel and shortbread.
This cupcake is utterly delicious! When you bite into the soft sponge you get a slight crunch from the shortbread crumbs then you hit the caramel sauce in the middle! its divine! This cupcake simply melts in your mouth.
Make these and give your friends and family a real treat!
Twix cupcakes
Oven – 160c
Makes 12-15
Shortbread biscuits (homemade or shop bought)
Twix bites
Sponge (taken from the hummingbird bakery book):
· 70g butter
· 210g plain flour
· 250g caster sugar
· 1 tbsp baking powder
· ½ tsp salt
· 210ml milk
· 2 large eggs
· 1 tsp vanilla
· 200g butter
· 350g icing sugar
· 50g cocoa powder
Caramel sauce:
· 110 g butter
· 250 g light brown sugar
· 275 g golden syrup
· 225 ml double cream
· 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
First make the caramel sauce:
1. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan set over a high heat and boil for approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly, until it has thickened. Set aside to cool.
For the sponge:
2. Crumble the shortbread biscuits into crumbs and place a handful in the bottom of each cupcake case.
3. Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix together until a crumb consistency.
4. In a jug combine milk, eggs and vanilla and whisk together until combined.
5. With the mixer on slow speed, gradually pour in half of the liquid and mix until thoroughly combined. Raise the speed to medium and beat until batter is smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl and turn the speed back down. Pour in the remaining liquid and mix until smooth and combined.
6. Spoon on top of the shortbread crumbs until 2/3 full. Then bake for 25-30 mins. Leave to cool.
Then make the buttercream:
7. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and beat together until smooth.
To ice the cupcakes:
8. Using a cupcake corer or knife core the cupcakes placing the middles by the side.
9. Pour the caramel sauce into a piping bag and cut a small amount off the end. Fill the cupcakes with the caramel sauce then put the tops back on.
10. Cut the end off another piping bag and insert a piping nozzle (I used a star nozzle) and place the chocolate buttercream in. push the buttercream down to the bottom of the bag until it starts coming out of the nozzle.
11. To ice the cupcake – start in the middle and work outwards, then continue into the middle again while working up to create a swirl.
12. Sprinkle some of the shortbread crumbs on top of the cupcakes, then drizzle some of the caramel sauce over the top. To finish off the cupcakes place a Twix bite on top.

Just days after Jubilee Line passengers at Stratford were sentenced to yet more transport misery (as if the over-running upgrades weren't enough), the RMT announced that 700 union members would walk out on 5th February for 24 hours, followed by another proposed strike on 14th February, evidently Bob Crow's idea of a Valentine's Day present to Londoners.
Crow, obviously oblivious to any suggestion of hypocrisy, said in a statement; 'LU have been hell-bent on confrontation. It's their bully-boy management style which has forced us into this action.'
The LU as usual, aren't taking this lying down and hauled out their own handbag in retaliation; 'It is absolutely ludicrous that the RMT's leadership is prepared to jeopardise the journeys of thousands of Londoners over this issue. They should stop threatening industrial action at every opportunity,' said their spokesman.
It seems that Bob Crow is determined fulfil his promise that 2010 will be a year of strikes. Best get our walking shoes on.

Old Supro guitars have proven themselves to be favorites for years now, primarily by collectors and players with a taste for the offbeat and unusual. Collectible value is slowly rising, and most likely will continue to do so as guitarists discover the quirky charm of these lower end instruments from the golden days of the American guitar industry. Supro instruments were never huge sellers in their day because they were generally overshadowed by their competitors: Danelectro, Harmony, and Kay, and later, by low cost Japanese imports.
The Supro "60" is a real oddball. In fact, I have never seen one before. It uses the same body shape as the Belmont and Dual Tone, but what makes it special is the single string-thru lap steel pickup you see in the photo. These pickups are highly prized by players like Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Joe Perry, and others. Joe Perry told this writer that his favorite slide guitar is a Supro Ozark with a string-thru pickup such as the one found on this guitar. On this "60," the pickup is mounted on a rectangular steel plate that also anchors the strings. The volume control is the larger knob on the left; the tone control the smaller. Both work as they should with no crackling, as is so common with these older budget guitars. The wooden bridge is functional but expectedly inaccurate in terms of spot-on intonation.
This particular example of a Supro "60" is all original and is short scale, featuring a chunky nineteen fret bolt-on neck with Kluson tuners that is painted black, like most Supros from this era, and has the standard pointed Supro headstock with an Art Deco gold colored nameplate. The fretboard is rosewood. One surprising and disturbing feature was a very poorly cut neck pocket that left quite a bit of space between the body and neck that appeared to have been done at the factory, not a snug fit at all. This caused the neck to move just a bit from side to side, a problem that could possibly be rectified by a talented luthier, but this issue seemed to have no real effect on the playability of the instrument under normal use.
In terms of looks, one can't help but notice the black pinstriping and the "60" in quotation marks on the body that boldly announces the name of the guitar for the entire world to see. Some may find it gaudy and kitschy, but that depends on your taste in ornamentation.
This writer came away from the experience of playing this Supro "60" feeling as if he was actually playing a lap steel with a standard guitar body. It would make an outstanding, funky, open-tuned slide guitar for a blues player. It's no wonder guys like Ry Cooder and Joe Perry have gravitated to Supros with this lap steel pickup. This Supro "60" is priced at $1395.
Once again, many thanks to Buzzy Levine of Lark Street Music in Teaneck, New Jersey for his cooperation in supplying this guitar for analysis.

AM Meditation
This morning I woke and felt Tamas (depressed) but kept saying to myself as I lay in bed, "what is the most compassionate thing I could do for myself" over and over which was kind of like a Pratipaksha Bhavana practice because that was the opposite of what my darkness was telling me. By doing that, like a mantra, I eventually released my firm grip on myself and allowed myself to let go a bit of all my responsibilities which were overwhelming me. I was also stuck in a state of indecision because there were so many things to do; where to start? I just get overwhelmed and froze up, feeling helpless and inadequate. But this "what is the most compassionate thing I could do for myself" mantra really helped me move through that thick tar pit I was in. I got out of bed and turned on some music and cleaned my dishes and took out the trash. Again just those 2 things took a weight off me (Saucha). Then during meditation, I used the words "so- hum" for my non 3 part breath/nadi suddhi portion of meditation which was easier for me that "om shanti" bc the sounds come out so naturally, rhyming with my breath and they have less expectation of results for me, which helps me feel less "attached" and free. So I think I will switch to using "so-hum" now. I also read (I think) about how that sound is like the sound of the earth turning on its axis which made me feel a sense of oneness with everything. When the ending bells rang, I couldn't open my eyes and I realized I was "blissed out" :) so I stayed in meditation. I don't know if I was in samadhi or not but it felt good. Actually I felt tears welling up in my eyes from a release of tension that I always hold in my body- there was no thought attached to the tears, just a sense of relief, which made me tear up even more because I have this tension always in my body that is associated with my mind I know, and it is painful. So the relief was precious. That's never happened to me before. It's interesting to experience how this regular practice of meditation evolves over time… I am so grateful for this Integral Yoga Teacher Training because I'm fairly certain I never would have disciplined myself to do this without the structure of this program. Thank you Vimala <3
Richmond, VA

About Star Berry
Star Berry is a world-class indica hybrid with a complex fruity aroma. Created by CannaVentures, who have also bred Diesel Fire, it is a cross between Sensi Star and omnipresent Blueberry. Besides offering a soothing body high, Star Berry is also remarkably easy to grow, making it a good option for newcomers to cannabis cultivation. This strain's THC content has been measured at between 15% and 20%.
Star Berry is distinguished by medium-sized flowers that adhere in an almost spherical formation. The chunky, globular buds show off their indic lineage with a compact and dense structure. The tightly-packed leaves are a dark, mossy green, but phenotypes of the strain often also show off dark flecks of purple and indigo. These latter colors emerge when anthocyanin pigments in the plants' genetics are stimulated by cold weather in the growing process. Finally, Star Berry's impressive buds are finished off by icy white trichomes that ensure this strain's protection.
When properly cured, Star Berry's aroma is dominated by a tangy and fruity berry scent. On closer inspection, there's also a definite undertone of lemon. Meanwhile, grinding up these dense buds yields a sour funk, somewhat like rotting organic matter. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Star Berry burns with a very smooth and easily palatable smoke. This smoke blooms with citrus and tropical berry flavors on the exhale.
Star Berry can be slow to come up, sometimes taking as many as 15 minutes after ingestion to signal its presence. After a while, consumers may notice that they can become fixated on single thoughts or stimuli and may need to make a deliberate effort to re-engage with their full surroundings. Some may also be a struck by a warping of their sensory perception, marked by slight visual or auditory distortions or by a sense of time passing more slowly. Psychedelic properties like these can be fun to bask in, especially when complemented by moody music or by low, dramatic lighting. On the physical end of the spectrum, Star Berry tends to unleash its intensely relaxing effects at the outset, sending waves of relaxation down through the spine and outward through the core and limbs. Eyelids may begin to feel weighed down even if smokers were previously active. This progressive relaxation tends to come without the added benefit of mental stimulation, instead leaving users with a foggy, unfocused mindset. As such, it is not the best bud for accomplishing complicated, task-based work; it may be better suited to simple daydreaming or friendly socializing with like-minded friends. As dosage is increased, Star Berry's physical sedation can become more and more intense, even pinning consumers down on the closest comfortable surface. In these later stages, passive activities like binge-watching or listening to podcasts may serve the smoker best. Thanks to its strong sedation, Star Berry is better enjoyed during the evening or nighttime than during daylight hours.
Star Berry's body-melting effects give it a few applications for medical cannabis patients. Its enduring sense of calm can temporarily numb the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety. It can also dull physical pain, whether it's temporary, as due to injury, or chronic, as due to conditions like cancer or fibromyalgia. Anti-inflammatory properties allow this bud to soothe everyday irritations like headaches or nausea. Because it is not known for triggering bouts of recursive, intense thinking, Star Berry is a good option for patients who are prone to panic or paranoia.
Fortunately for home growers, seeds of Star Berry are available for sale online. Once obtained, it can be grown indoors or out, although outdoor cultivation requires a humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. That said, these plants can be resistant to adverse growing conditions like temperature fluctuation and can be a great choice for newcomers to cannabis cultivation. Star Berry's plants tend to grow short and bushy and may require occasional trimming of broad, high-growing fan leaves. Star Berry flowers within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Gardeners looking to bring out the plant's purple potential should also briefly expose their crops to temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees below average, just before flowering begins.
Star Berry is an excellent strain for decompressing after a long day or week of work. If you're pulling out this fragrant bud at a party, make sure you have enough to share, as its crowd-pleasing aroma is certain to turn some heads.

Five years ago I released my first studio album, Over Land and Sea, recorded at the Vanguard Room in Lakeland, FL with Aaron Marsh back in 2011. During the writing and recording process I had no idea that this album would kickstart my music career and open up so many opportunities in the five years following. It was truly a dream come true, and has led me on quite the journey. To celebrate Over Land and Sea's fifth birthday, I thought I'd dig into the archives and share some of the highlights from the past five years.Read More
A few weeks ago I played a small string of shows through Southern BC and Alberta. We combined the shows with some time with friends in Portland and Seattle, an amazing evening seeing Radiohead play in Seattle(!!!), and family time in Calgary for Easter. The shows were so fun, in some really unique venues full of lovely people. The first of the three shows was in Christina Lake, BC, where we had played for the first time on the Dearestly fall tour. Thanks to the venue being right beside an art gallery featuring local artists and artisans, I came home with a lovely handmade mug.Read More

"Danny and Al Kavadlo have truly taken their already masterful bodyweight strength instruction to the next level with Next Level Strength. Rings and parallettes are great training tools, but the genius of this book is in the exercise selection and progressions. The program is accessible to the beginner, while giving the advanced trainee all they can handle. Most importantly, the program is fun and goal oriented, and will be in regular rotation with my own training. The Kavadlos always set the bar high with the quality of their books, and I think this one will become my favorite, which is saying a lot.

Why Rings?
Why Parallettes?
What to Expect When You Engage With Next Level Strength
Next Level Strength is broken up into three levels, with each becoming progressively more difficult. As you advance, you will be met with more challenging exercise variations and increasingly demanding skills. You will also notice that there are more total exercises in the later levels. This is no accident. All three levels consist of workouts that gradually increase in training volume. This means you will slowly build up to more reps (or longer holds) of each movement over the course of several weeks. You need to add more total workout volume as well as more demanding exercises in order to continue to trigger further adaptations in your body.
During Level 1 — Unstoppable, you will do each workout 3-4 times a week for two weeks, with at least one day off in between training sessions. You will progress to a more challenging workout every two weeks. Following the program in this manner means you'll be devoting 8 weeks to this level, though some people will need more time, while others may need less. Each training session should not require more than 50 minutes of your time, and in many cases will require less. There are also modifications which you can make to some of the Level 1 exercises to regress them if necessary. These are addressed in the "trainer talk" section of each exercise. Seasoned trainees who are new to rings and/or parallettes are encouraged to begin with Level 1 as well, as the specific demands of training with these apparatuses can take some getting used to.
In Level 2 — Unbreakable, you will follow a split routine. Your training will be split into two complementary workouts, both of which will be performed twice per week. The split routine allows for more total training volume without increasing the length of each individual training session. As with Level 1, you will progress to more challenging workouts every two weeks. Again, these workouts should not require more than 50 minutes of your time, and may require less. Experienced trainees may start right in with Level 2, provided they are able to pass the test at the end of Level 1.
In Level 3 — Indestructible, you will also follow a split routine. As with the previous levels, you will progress to more challenging workouts every two weeks. Again, these workouts should not require more than 50 minutes of your time, and may require less.
At the end of each level there is a test to determine whether or not you are ready to advance to the Next Level. If you pass the test, you move ahead. If not, then repeat the last two weeks and test again.
After you've completed the final level, there are several "Next" Next Level exercises with which you can experiment. Your odyssey is not over until you decide you've gone as far as you're willing to go…
Why Train with the Kavadlos?
While the Kavadlo brothers have achieved supreme feats of calisthenics strength—like the one-arm pull up, the human flag and the back lever—they have also spent decades helping thousands of clients meet and often exceed their training goals. And for good reason were selected to lead Dragon Door's prestigious and best-of-class PCC instructor training program.
And you can see from their photographs that their choice of exercise regimens has resulted in beyond spectacular physiques. With the Kavadlos' strategies you get strength and looks in one awesome package.
So, you can consider the Kavadlos curators of not only the most effective bodyweight exercises, but also the programming needed to extract the full juice from those chosen drills.
As experienced architects and constructors of strength, the Kavadlos know what it takes to advance from absolute newbie to elite practitioner. The Kavadlos also know how to strip things down to their essentials—to get the most out of the least, the biggest bang for the buck…
You'll discover what key ring and parallette exercises, in what exact progressions, will give you the best results in the fastest, safest time.

Also this time i was not disappointed.This is a great rings and parrallettes program for people at multiple levels of callisthenics skills and experience.And if you think that's all, you will be pleasantly surprised with the great amount of extra knowledge, experience and information the Kavadlo brothers provide in their book. I highly recommend it!
