The Source of the Strange "Win7" Color Distortion?
EDIT: Root caused. Two problems: (1.) The Dell monitors at work have some problems in "Game" mode. They work fine in "Standard" mode. I'm guessing "Standard" uses some (latency adding?) logic to correct for some color distortion of the panel, and this logic gets turned off in "Game" mode. (2.) Displays tested at work are slow IPS panels with larger gamut than the fast displays at home. The hue-to-warm-to-white transition in my algorithm is too punchy in the yellows for large gamut displays. Algorithm needs some more tuning there.
I have a
shadertoy program
which presents photo editing controls and a different way to handle over-exposure. Fully saturated hues blend towards white instead of clamping at a hue, and all colors in over-exposure take a path towards white which follows a warm hue shift. So red won't go to pink then white (which looks rather unnatural), but rather red to orange to yellow to white. This test program also adds 50% saturation to really stress the hard exposure cases.
The result looks awesome on my wife's MacPowerBook, and on my home Linux laptop using either a CRT or laptop LCD. However at work on a Win7 box with two Dell monitors and on a co-worker's personal Win7 laptop, the result looks like garbage. Specifically some hues on their route towards white have non-contiguous gradient which looks like some color management mapping operation failed.
I tried lots of different things to adjust color management in Win7 to fix it, but was unable. Was certain this had to be a problem in Win7 because two different Win7 machines with completely different displays all had the same problem. Then another co-worker running Win8 with a set of two different Dell monitors (also color calibrated) got a different result: one display had the same problem, the other looked good.
So not a Windows problem, but rather some new problem I had never seen before on any display I personally have owned: LCD displays with really bad distortion on saturated hues. And apparently it is common enough such that 4 of 5 different displays in the office had the problem. 4 of these displays were color calibrated via the GPU's LUT per color channel, but calibrated to maintain maximum brightness. Resetting that LUT made no difference. However changing some of the color temp settings on the display itself did reduce the distortion on one monitor (only tested one monitor).
Maybe the source of the problem is that the display manufactures decided that the "brightness" and "contrast" numbers were more important, so they overdrive the display by default to the point where they have bad distortion? Changing the color temp would reduce the maximum output of one or two channels. Not at work right now, so not able to continue to test the theory, but guessing the solution is to re-calibrate the display at a lower brightness.

Driving NTSC TV from GTX 880M
Got the
Crescendo Systems: TC1600 VGA to YPrPb Transcoder
in this week, and combined with the
HDFury Nano
, I was able to generate a 720x240 progressive NTSC component signal and drive a 2003 TV from the HDMI out of my GTX 880M based laptop (using a custom Modeline in X).
Still have some challenges to iron out. The only VGA connector I had was a little thick, so had to open up TC1600 box and add more clearance to the VGA connector cutout (no problem). First attempt would not maintain sync, ended up just trying the second jumper setting, and everything worked enough to get a signal. EDIT, tried manual tuning, not able to resolve a problem where image brightness (input signal) effects h-sync (bright lines have different h-offset?) and what looks like a few random red or blue horizontal streaks in dark but not black regions. Otherwise the signal works well enough to try a bunch of things, but I do not have the tools to track down and resolve the remaining problems.
Impressions vs Memory
While I'm able to also run an interlaced signal with double the vertical resolution, this is effectively useless due to visual artifacts (as expected). However the NTSC TV looks better at 60Hz interlaced than the VGA CRT at 180Hz interlaced. The combined higher persistence and more diffuse beam makes a big difference here. The progressive 60Hz output on the higher persistence TV does visibly flicker a lot more than I remember thanks to viewing the TV a foot away with a white background. Old TVs managed to get away with this probably because content was almost never white, and the TV was far enough away to not trigger the peripheral vision as much.
Believe the crappy TV I have is actually low-pass filtering the component chroma input to match s-video or even horrible composite. Not sure, but single red pixels look very bad. Have a bit of work here to get the vintage arcade feel (probably need a better TV).

Maxwell 2 Extensions
Cyril Crassin: Maxwell GM204 OpenGL extensions
Going to enable really fast good transparency blending with MSAA. Render opaque with standard MSAA. Then attach a no-MSAA color buffer to use with the MSAA depth buffer to composite transparent content. When blending, use "post depth coverage" to get the percentage of the pixel which passes the depth test, which is then used to reduce transparency. Render via front-first alpha blending (where at the end, alpha keeps amount of transparency left). Finally during a custom MSAA resolve, composite the final transparency over the resolved MSAA.

Using GDB Without Source and With Runtime Changing of Code
Getting disassembly of code generated at runtime to verify dynamic code generation can be a slow process. On Linux, I just use gdb. Using gdb requires setting the breakpoint for run-time generated code after that code is generated by the application (if there is an easier way, I don't know it). Here is a quick example,
Find the entry point of the ELF: readelf -a filename
Look for "Entry point address:" and write down address
Start gdb: gdb filename
Insert breakpoint, this example using 0x2c3 as entry point: break *0x2c3
Start program which will break at above entry point: run
Show disassembly with raw bytes example: disassemble /r 0x2c3,0x300
The "=>" shows the instruction pointer
Set another breakpoint to something after run-time generated code
Use the "continue" command to continue to that breakpoint
Show disassembly of the run-time generated code

Interlacing at high frame rates and low persistence?
After hearing Carmack's talk at the Oculus keynote, wanted to see first hand if interlacing artifacts are still visible at high rates on low persistence displays. Tried 180Hz interlaced on my CRT (get a pair of even-line and odd-line frames every 90 times per second). Still see massive artifacts. For instance when on-screen vertical motion is some multiple of scan-out, it is possible to see the black gaps between lines. The visible size of the gap is a function of the velocity of motion. Horizontal motion also does not look good. Probably has a lot to do with resolution (running 640x480 on a CRT which can do 1600x1200). Coarse shadow mask interlaced NTSC TVs did not look as bad at low frame rates, probably because the even and odd lines would partly illuminate the same bits of the screen (or maybe they had higher persistence phosphors)? If I use the display's Vertical Moire control to align the even and odd scan-lines to the same position in space, then the output looks much better even with constant black gaps between the lines. To me this whole experiment suggests that some kind of motion adaptive de-interlacing logic is needed at high frame rates (best case) or at a minimum the OLED display controller needs to fill in the missing lines in any interlaced mode using some spatial filter.

GTX 980 from 680
Looking again at the Wikipedia specs,
GTX 980 vs GTX 680: Perf/Area
GTX 980: 11.6 Mflop/ms/mm2, 0.56 MB/ms/mm2, 0.36 Mtex/ms/mm2, 0.18 Mpix/ms/mm2
GTX 680: 10.5 Mflop/ms/mm2, 0.65 MB/ms/mm2, 0.44 Mtex/ms/mm2, 0.11 Mpix/ms/mm2
Performance per total chip area goes down a little for bandwidth and texture, but up for ALU and ROP.
GTX 980 vs GTX 680: Perf/TDP
GTX 980: 28.0 Mflop/ms/W, 1.36 MB/ms/W, 0.87 Mtex/ms/W, 0.44 Mpix/ms/W
GTX 680: 15.8 Mflop/ms/W, 0.99 MB/ms/W, 0.66 Mtex/ms/W, 0.17 Mpix/ms/W
Performance per total chip power goes way up for ALU and ROP, a little less for bandwidth and even less for texture.

NVIDIA Whitepaper
Wikipedia Specs
Techreport Review
For framebuffer compression, looks like for 32-bit/pixel a block of 16x16 fragments gets compressed in 3 steps. Implies that samples for 8xMSAA are stored in 2x4 or 4x2 fragment blocks (depending on if the image or text description is correct), and samples for 4xMSAA stored in 2x2 fragment blocks. The three steps: (1.) 8:1 compression if the fragment values are all uniform for 2x4? or 4x2? blocks, (2.) 4:1 compression if fragment values are all uniform for 2x2 blocks, or lastly (3.) 2:1 compression if delta compression works out (stores deltas between fragments for less bits). Looks like Maxwell adds some more options for delta compression. Sounds like 8xMSAA shaded with a forced 2 samples per pixel would nicely fallback to the 4:1 compression case for blocks in triangle interiors. This compression ability is one of the major reasons MSAA is ultra fast on NVIDIA hardware.
Maxwell in the 980/970 has viewport multicast from VS without the need for GS, conservative raster, programmable sample positions for a repeating block of samples, and ability to stall the pixel shader to implement in-raster-order shader processing for a given pixel (could use for programmable blending for example).

--Andy Bodle,
The Guardian (London), April 4, 2002
To me, The Sims has always felt like W.W. Jacobs's much-anthologized story of the monkey's paw: You come upon this strange and magical thing that promises to fulfill some of your greatest wishes. But soon you realize that these wishes are illuminating aspects of your personality you'd rather not see. They can make you greedy, power-hungry, and obsessive. Eventually, you know you must get rid of this thing if you want to get anything accomplished, but you've already started an epidemic. When friends come over and see what it does for you, they'll want one, too. The process repeats itself.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I completed our favorite Nintendo Game Cube game, Super Mario Sunshine. It's the simplest of children's games, complete with smiling sunflowers and dancing mushrooms. And yet we'd devoted the last two months of our lives to playing it. When the final credits rolled across the screen, I felt a sudden sadness. I had worked so hard on this. And now it was over.
"What are we going to do now?" he asked me.
"I don't know," I replied.
I really didn't.
My first thought was reassuring: I still have The Sims Online. There's no "Game Over." It ends only when you want it to.
My second thought troubled me: It ends only when you want it to.

Stuff the Bus Gets Kids Ready to Learn!
Stuff the Bus is Back!
Join us!
Stuff The Bus is an initiative of United Way Monterey County focused on helping send vulnerable students around Monterey County back to school ready to learn. Vulnerable students include homeless and foster youth who frequently underperform in school due to the stress of unstable households. In 2014, there were over 5,800 students living in homeless or near homeless conditions. Stuff the Bus is an effort to collect donated school supplies to help those students go to school with confidence and with the material supplies needed to perform successfully in the classroom. Join us this year and donate much needed school supplies to needy children.
How does it work?
Backpacks are distributed to students through the Homeless Liaison for each district in partnership with the Monterey County Office of Education. Liaisons will ensure that the backpacks go to the children with the most need.
How Can You Help?
- DROP OFF SUPPLIES: Use the shopping list and check the list of Sponsor Bus Locations & drop off school supplies in one of the United Way Monterey County Buses at the location of your choice!
- VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME: Check out the list of times available to volunteer to help sort and stuff the backpacks that will be given to children in need. CLICK HERE
- DONATE: Help United Way Monterey County ensure that every backpack has the supplies that each child needs by donating to our Stuff the Bus Fund! CLICK HERE

In his final Thought for the Day on BBC Radio 4, on Saturday 22 December 2012, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, talked about the recent killings in Connecticut and discounted the argument often put forward that "it's not guns that kill, it's people".
The Church of England needs a reality check about the way it is perceived and the way it operates, the Archbishop of Canterbury has declared.
Like millions of other people, I'm praying for Justin Welby as he prepares to take up his new job at Canterbury. I wish him all the best. As the media go over every detail of his life and beliefs, there is a danger that we put our trust in a new archbishop to save the Church. This would be a problem whoever had got the job.
For the first time in history, the announcement of who would succeed to the See of Canterbury was seen first on twitter (via the @Number10press office), before the formal Downing Street and Lambeth announcements of the archbishop elect.
There can be no place at all for homophobia in the church, the Archbishop of Canterbury elect, the Rt Rev Justin Welby, has said in his first major statement.
If Welby can hold on to his emphasis on enabling 'ordinary' Christians, and those of their neighbours who are seeking a more just and compassionate world, he can offer the kind of leadership needed at a time when idols have been falling, says Savi Hensman, a long-standing commentator on Anglican affairs and church and society issues.
An announcement was made from Downing Street today that the Rt Rev Justin Welby, Anglican Bishop of Durham, will be the new Archbishop of Canterbury.
Plans for a conference of arms dealers at Church House, administrative HQ of the Church of England, have provoked shock, sadness and concern among Christians and others.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has begun a campaign to persuade Church of England General Synod members to back women bishops.
As we approach the first anniversary of the St Paul's protests it saddens Giles Fraser, former canon there, that the Church of England's reaction to Occupy was so reminiscent of its reaction to Chartism. In both cases, popular protest was dismissed as incoherent and unsuccessful, as the Archbishop of canterbury recently suggested about Occupy.

About Anne Borsa
Our names are Anne & John Borsa. We live in Overland Park, KS. This is our first rental property, although we have used VRBO many times for our own vacations. We used to live in Seattle and really miss the water, hence buying at the beach. We look forward to helping you enjoy our vacation home!
Anne Borsa purchased this condo in 2013
Why Anne Borsa chose Sterling Breeze
Sterling has a great reputation for developing and managing resort properties. Only 143 total units, so no elevator worries. Sterling Breeze is an upscale development that's not so big that you feel crowded. It's easy to access, and away from much of the local traffic during peak rental periods (and it's quieter). Pier Park is really convenient and is only a short walk. Most of our days 'at the beach' don't involve any driving since we have Pizza Hut and Dusty's Oyster Bar just across the street and a great selection of restaurants just down the street at Pier Park.
What makes this condo unique
Walk on the beach, spend some time in the hot tub, take a swim, grab some lunch and a drink at the pool bar, burn a few calories in the workout room, walk over to Dusty's for a burger or seafood, watch a DVD, walk down to Margaritaville for a drink, walk to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the big game, sit by the fire pit and watch the sun go down.....or you could actually get in the car and go do something else. (Golf, Waterpark, Gulfworld, Shopping, and on and on .......)
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hey there Anne, Just wanted to let you know what a great time the three of us had. Your home away condo was really beautiful, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The pool, the hot tub and the other guests were all first class. We will definitly reccomend your place to our friends and family. Thank you for sharing a beautiful place........... AnnaM

Wisconsin: 4th Grade Teacher Takes Class to Protest at Capitol
**Written by Doug Powers
Remember when school field trips were to zoos or historical landmarks?
From Fox6:
Every weekday at noon, the "Solidarity Singers" gather around the Capitol Rotunda to vocalize their displeasure with Governor Walker's agenda.
On a Tuesday in late September, FOX6 watched as elementary school children were led into the middle of the protest, and encouraged to clap and sing along.
According to Reeder, it's not the first time this has happened.
"When they are here, we do try to sing 'This Land Is Your Land' or 'If I Had A Hammer,' things they might be familiar with that are a little less political, so they would feel welcome to come into the circle," Reeder said.
Suffice to say, I'd be unhappy to say the least if my kids were taken anywhere near "the circle."
Click the pic for the video at The Right Scoop. The only thing missing from the "Solidarity Singers" footage is Nurse Ratched walking around dispensing meds:
Students who display an aptitude for anti-Scott Walker protest will be automatically enrolled in Wisonsin's "Junior Fleebagger" training program.
But at least the lyrics of the protest songs offered the kids a good grammar lesson:
The Superintendent is clearly anxious to get to the bottom of this:
I'll bet he'd have been concerned if the kids were taken to a Tea Party.
Privately though there's a chance the Superintendent is berating the school's educators for allowing 4th graders to participate in a left-wing protest… that's 3rd grade curriculum, people!

I agree with Celia on the Roller-loader
Posted by: shirlann on Apr-10-13 8:53 AM (EST)
I have one and it works great, even though hubby has since purchased a couple of Hullavators for us, which are super easy to use. I still use it on occasion when I'm going on a day trip and don't want to bother my husband with putting the Hullavator on the top.
The Roller loader can be used from the front of rear of a vehicle.
Good luck in your search.

First Alert Snow Closings
Short on superstars, the Jets have gotten production this season from a host of players who aren't quite household names.
A Pats' penalty kept a late Jets drive alive and ultimately, proved to be the difference.
Nick Folk kicked a 42-yard field goal with 5:07 left in overtime to lift the New York Jets to a 30-27 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
It took nearly seven weeks, but Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has been cleared to play,
Whenever the Jets play the New England Patriots, the entire week leading up to the game has a different feel.
With the signing of Josh Cribbs, the Jets hope to inject some life into their struggling kick return game.
When Jets tight end Kellen Winslow received a four-game suspension Friday from the National Football League for violating their policy on performance-enhancing substances, the general public mostly groaned...
Jets coach Rex Ryan has toned down the bluster in recent years -- losing tends to have that effect -- but that doesn't mean the Pats' arch-rival has just conceded the division.
Muhammad Wilkerson just missed sacking Ben Roethlisberger for a safety. Geno Smith just missed hitting Stephen Hill for a long touchdown.
For the second week in a row, the Jets have the opportunity to take advantage of an opponent that is grossly underachieving.

Pop quiz: What can make you smarter in as little as 20 minutes, costs nothing, and you must do with your eyes closed?
One of my favorite topics is the benefits of napping. I can't get enough of studies that confirm that a so-called "biphasic sleep" sleep schedule—sleeping in two spurts during the 24-hour day, which typically means sleeping at night and then taking a siesta in the afternoon—is an ideal way to keep your brain sharp, prepared to learn new things, and feel refreshed. No wonder some of our most historic brains are noted fans of napping:
- Albert Einstein,
- Thomas Edison,
- Napoleon Bonaparte,
- Ronald Reagan,
- Bill Clinton,
- the list goes on...
Brahms napped at the piano while composing his famous lullaby. Winston Churchill scheduled his cabinet meetings around his naps, alleging that he required a daily afternoon nap in order to cope with his wartime responsibilities. Some of today's top athletes and Olympians take long naps in the afternoons as part of their training regimen. Their naps are as important as their daily exercise.

Aston Martin is rapidly approaching its 100th anniversary, and the company is reportedly hard at work on an all-new model to mark the occasion. According to Auto Express, CEO Ulrich Bez says the new creation will be an all-new mainstream model. That means we can count out any special-edition version of the DB9 or a super-limited production vehicle like the One-77. As you may recall, our spy photographers recently laid their glass on what we originally thought was a successor to the DB9 throne. It's entirely possible the machine was actually the new model Bez spoke of in his interview.
Either way, a 6.0-liter V12 will likely shuttle a full 550 horsepower or so to the rear wheels. Auto Express says the two-door ought to yield a 0-62 mph time of around four seconds flat. Sounds like an Aston Martin to us. With 2013 right around the corner, it's only a matter of time before we see this all-new model in the light of day.

Nvidia and ARM: It's a parallel, parallel, parallel world
Nvidia envisions a future in which ARM processors and the GPU-maker's CUDA parallel-computing platform and programming model will work together in perfect harmony, and the company has a raft of planned CUDA enhancements to not only make that coexistence seamless, but to enhance that programming environment for discrete GPUs, as …
Not just for CUDA
ARM will be an important platform for **everything**.
ARM pretty much covers everything from very low (sub-$1 microcontrollers) up to some servers.
There is increasingly only niche space for really tiny 8-bit micros and really big top-end microprocessors (servers, desktops etc).
As ARM expands (in both directions), the space for non-ARM players gets smaller.
but coding in it is productive, interactive, and "even fun."
Maybe for you. I find it somewhere between COBOL, Perl and a wisdom tooth extraction in terms of the "fun" to be had.
Re: Python
can't speak to cobol, but I find it far closer to the wisdom tooth extraction than perl, except when you get your wisdom teeth out, they normally give you Vicoden or something nice.
Perl does its best to get out of my fucking way. Python, like Java, has an agenda, and I don't appreciate that.
Re: Python
I think the point about using in Python is that many of the users of HPC are scientists with no formal training in programming. Python has several libraries like NumPy that have made it popular in diverse scientific domains and the are companies that also serve and support them. I think the combination is what continues to make it a popular language for scientists. CERN has some nice graphics that illustrate the increase in Python code once the code for heavy-lifting (usally in C++ or FORTRAN) has been written. Benedit Hegner covered this in his keynote at the German Python conference last November. An hour long and in German and thoroughly entertaining.
Too Little Too Late?
Shame really given the overnight news about the next-gen Nexus 7 business going from Nvidia/Tegra to Qualcomm/Snapdragon. Given that's where a fairly large percentage of the Tegra 3 chips ended up (~80% by some reports), the future prospects for Nvidia may have taken something of a knock.
Re: Too Little Too Late?
Tegra 4 is certainly too late. Also, Google like diversity when dealing with suppliers of reference devices so the Nexus 7 refresh switch is hardly a surprise. Rumor also has it that Microsoft will switch from Tegra for Surface RT 2013 models. All the same if Nvidia succeed in catching up and we see Tegra 5 Logan samples late Autumn with Kepler integration etc., they must be a strong contender for the next wave of 2014 devices. A few million orders here or there doesn't say much about anyones future prospects in such a fast moving industry. What with the ARM competition, Intel Haswell and the upcoming 14nm process I'd hate to place any bets in the mobile space concerning the next couple of years except whatever happens it will almost certainly benefit us users of the devices.
Speaking of Java
Wouldn't a run-time compiled language like Java be the perfect fit for strange hybrid architectures? You send code that has been checked for safety and correctness to the machine to run it. The code is then split off into bits and pieces to different functional units, adjusting in real time to the actual code flow to put data and code where they best fit.
Simply taking existing x86 bytecodes and reverse compiling these on the fly might introduce all sorts of strange timing dependencies unknown and untested by the programmers.
Where's the challenge?
I have a feeling that with increasing parallelism and diversity of architecture, it may be impossible for a programmer to write the optimal parallelization into the code. It may be more of a challenge for the development environment or compiler designers to best utilize the architecture's capabilities.

Westhoff Divulges Details from Leg Injury
CORTLAND, N.Y. — Everyone knows Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff is one tough son of a gun; cancer survivor, specials teams innovator, master talent evaluator, cursing enthusiast. Yesterday at the team's check-in day on the SUNY Cortland campus, however, his tough guy reputation grew a little bigger.
For Westhoff, it was his first public appearance with the team since recovering from a gruesome knee injury in late May. He missed the majority of the Jets' rookie and mini-camps after surgery on his left leg — the same leg that a titanium prosthesis was placed in 2008.
A bone marrow cancer survivor — a malignant tumor was found on the same leg in 1988, Westhoff heard a clicking sound while visiting his son in Indianpolis. The sound was enough to have the special teams innovator go to a local hospital for x-rays. While in the hospital, awaiting to take those very same x-rays, Westhoff slipped in the bathroom and the "really thick" custom-made prosthetic snapped. He would have surgery afterwards, an occurrence that's happened several times since the cancer scare.
"I was shocked. I don't know how it happened," he said. "The doctors didn't know how it happened."
Sidelined and bed-ridden for a short-period of time, he handed the special teams duties over to assistant Ben Kotwica, whom he spoke with everyday. He stayed in touch with the unit to know there was still a lot of sloppiness, according to him.
One might think for a football lifer like Westhoff, being away from the game would be painful. He said Thursday, however, that it "wasn't as bad as you might think". "I had no choice," he said, "so it was easy that way."
Now back with the team as they embark on the Jets 2012 pilgrimage to the Lombardi Trophy he's accompanied by a cane, but that won't slow him down.
"I'm looking forward to getting back to football."
After describing his knee as "being held together by tissue" he would later state that the whole experience "not being as difficult as you'd think".
Tough times don't last, Mike Westhoff does.

Rumours have been circulating for months that Victoria Beckham is opening her first ever store in London and now it's official. You might think that she'd go the tried and tested route with some Bond Street gloss - but oh no! Victoria has confirmed to WWD that she is taking over number 36, Dover Street. VB said of the news: 'I think the time is now because I know my customer.' As for the location, she explains: 'It's young and cool. There are great galleries in the area. There's Dover Street Market directly opposite of us, which is not a bad thing.'
As for the store, VB has enlisted architect Farshid Moussavi - who worked on the 2012 London Olympic Park - to give the 7,000 sq ft space a VB makeover. Victoria explained why she hired Farshid to WWD: 'She is a woman that loves fashion as well. She has quite a conceptual eye, which I like. We want to make something different without making it overly complicated. I just want it to feel real for me.' We imagine the three storey building is getting a dramatic makeover, as VB says she plans on 'drilling a massive hole through the middle.' No word if Vic will be putting on a hard hat and getting stuck in with the planning.
The store will open in Autumn and will house all of her collections, including Victoria Beckham, Victoria Victoria Beckham, denim, optical and accessories. We could do some serious damage to our credit history in there!
It's all go for Victoria Beckham this year as she is also opening a New York office. 'I want to focus on the U.S. this year,' the designer explains. 'To take it to the next level, I need a team on the ground living and breathing everything here in America.' Plus there is her Skype Collaboration Project, where her working life is captured on film.
Victoria added: 'I'm always so busy moving on to the next thing and I always want to do better than the previous season. I'm very ambitious and we move at such at a fast pace, so what's great about Skype is actually looking back at our story. I get emotional actually watching it.'
But what say you? Is Dover Street a good choice for Victoria? Or were you expecting to see her elsewhere? Let us know below and in the meantime, take a browse through her magnificent style-volution via the gallery below...
