Hi Team!
Oh, man, do we have some good things coming up this month. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, though… How are you guys? All's well I hope. We're having a great summer over here. Just capped off the 3rd wedding of a sibling in 11 months, the sister-in-law had a baby recently, and we've had a great vacation. No dull moments for this family!
As far as MikedUp Blog is concerned, here's a look a some of what's ahead for August:
– We'll start to uncover our Financial pillars for us millennials.
– We also have some big news! Our first contribution from a guest blogger will be published in early August. She has worked in the healthcare field for over 30 years, has been a contributing author on 11 scientific publications, and currently works as a clinical research nurse at a major hospital system. She has been gracious enough to share some of her knowledge with us as she'll help guide us to make smart decisions for dieting, nutrition, exercise, and a whole heap of other things. Needless to say, I'm stoked to see what else she'll have in store for us in the weeks and months ahead! Stay tuned for her first post that covers how we can identify and commit to realistic and achievable goals. I hope you're as excited as I am!
– Our workout video this month will feature another special guest and will outline a realistic way you can get up, get active, and get your workout on!

Geological studies of mantle xenoliths entrained in late Neogene–Quaternary lavas from the southern Sierra Nevada region and regional geophysical studies suggest that the high-density mantle lithosphere that formed beneath the Sierra Nevada batholith in conjunction with arc magmatism is being convectively removed as a "drip" structure. This structure, as imaged seismically, is roughly cylindrical in shape with a diameter of ~100 km, and extends to ~225 km depth. Centered above this structure is a region ~120 km in diameter that is undergoing active subsidence relative to adjacent regions. Such subsidence is seen in the active fluvial-alluvial sediment flooding of mountainous topography of the southwestern Sierra and in the development of the adjacent Tulare Lake basin of the San Joaquin Valley. Dynamic modeling of such upper-mantle drip structures predicts a phase of overlying surface subsidence during the most vigorous phase of drip formation. The southern Sierra upper mantle drip and the overlying crust appear to be in this phase of their dynamically coupled evolution.

London police resist disclosing snitch payments
The London Daily News reports that Scotland Yard may be facing contempt of court for refusing to reveal how much it spends on snitches. Story here. The paper reports that the city spends approximately $4 million a year to pay informants. While U.S. governments do not reveal such figures either, a study by the National Law Journal concluded that in 1993, federal agencies paid their confidential informants $97 million.

Product of tradition: Top CB Fuller set to leave mark at Good Counsel
At the drop of a hat they were off. Within seconds, Fuller demonstrated what makes him such a coveted prospect: His 6-foot, 189-pound frame exploded off the line as he bolted into the lead and used one bounding stride after another to cruise to an easy victory. It seemed effortless. It was display of athleticism worthy of his incessant hype.
"He's big and he's fast and he's strong," said Good Counsel coach Bob Milloy, whose team opens the season Friday at nationally ranked Bishop Gorman (Nev.) High on ESPN2. "He's a natural athlete."
Fuller, 17, is the nation's No. 6 overall recruit according to Rivals.com. He's one of the most promising cornerbacks in the class of 2013, a Virginia Tech commit with both the skill and pedigree of a future college star. His 526 receiving yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions helped Good Counsel to a 12-0 record and a conference title in 2011, and his three older brothers -- Vincent, Corey and Kyle -- all played football for the Hokies. He passes the eye test. Kendall has a chance to be the best of the bunch and one of the most dominant players in the nation.
But for all of his accolades, he's still getting used to the attention. And to fully appreciate his success, it's necessary to first understand how he got here.
During the fall of 2009, Fuller was a baby-faced freshman. He was athletic but unmistakably raw, and tried out for the team as a wide receiver and cornerback. To his surprise, he was the only ninth-grader selected for varsity.
"We called him up because we saw his intangibles as a young boy," said Falcons assistant coach Kevin McFadden. "We knew that once he got acclimated to the speed of the game at that level, the transition would be a lot easier."
It was a forward-thinking move, one designed to teach Fuller the basics of Good Counsel's system. But it also set up a tantalizing matchup. In Week 2, Good Counsel would play Mt. St. Joseph's, the high school where his brother Kyle was a two-way star. It would be the first and only time they'd ever play each other head-to-head.
After a lopsided first half -- Good Counsel led 28-0 and went on to win 42-0 -- Kendall saw his first playing time. He lined up opposite Kyle and prepared to throw a block. The ball was snapped. Kyle promptly torpedoed his younger brother to the turf.
"I just looked down at him and started laughing," said Kyle. "The game was over, but he and I were going at it."
It was representative of Kendall's upbringing. He competed with Vincent, Corey and Kyle at everything, refusing to accept failure. He worked to overcome his physical shortcomings, and more desperately, to assert his athletic superiority. Age didn't matter. By the time he was in grade school, he wanted to be the best.
"Although Kendall was smaller, that didn't stop him from competing," said Kyle. "He would want to win and he'd get mad when he didn't."
So it went: Kendall took part in an endless series of challenges. Before football practice, he'd run Oklahomas, a drill in which he put on pads, dropped to a three-point stance and rammed into his brothers at full speed -- last man standing wins. During the offseason, he'd accompany them to the nearby Woodlawn High track, staging 400- and 800-meter sprints to determine who was fastest. If something could be turned into a contest, it was.
Kendall typically lost, but that wasn't the significance. In the process, he developed a striking underdog mentality. Anything you can do I can do better.
"Being the youngest, that definitely sticks with him," said Kyle. "I think it definitely has had a big impact on the success he's having now."
As his brothers flourished -- Vincent is a seven-year NFL veteran with the Titans and Lions; Kyle was a second-team All-ACC cornerback in 2011 -- it also provided him with uncommon perspective. By observing their grueling training regimens, from drill work to film sessions to weightlifting, he internalized the importance of making the most of each opportunity. "I think the thing that my brothers taught me the most is just to be patient," he said.
That's proven immensely valuable. At Good Counsel, as with his family, Kendall has had to wait for his time in the limelight.
For as gifted as Fuller is, he was widely regarded as the third most talented player on last year's Falcon roster. Senior athlete Stefon Diggs and running back Wes Brown, both now freshmen at Maryland, were the headliners, and when Good Counsel captured its first undefeated season and its third consecutive Western Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championship, they were the ones handed the majority of the credit.
Fuller was seen as a key cog -- he made a 57-yard touchdown reception to the set the tone in a 24-17 win over Manatee (Fla.) High, reeled in two second-half scores to break away from Red Lion Christian (Del.) Academy and corralled a crucial fourth-quarter interception to clinch victory against rival DeMatha (Md.) High -- but that was the extent of it. He was just another very good player on a program with a history of them: Jelani Jenkins (Florida), Louis Young (Georgia Tech) and Blake Countess (Michigan) are among the school's well-known alumni.
Similar to his experience with his brothers, though, Fuller blossomed under their tutelage. He credits Countess for helping with his positioning, Diggs for improving his man-to-man coverage. During one-on-one sessions against Diggs, he gradually developed the ability to stick with one of the nation's premier wideouts -- an up-and-coming prospect learning from an established one.
"I remember during my freshman and sophomore year, he was just destroying me," said Fuller. "But I figured if I kept on going against him, even if I was doing bad, I was gonna get better."
That attitude paid off. This season, Fuller is the teacher, and he's out to instill his relentlessly hardworking mentality among each of his 2012 teammates.
"This is basically Kendall's team this year," said Milloy. "He can be vocal if he wants to be, but by his example and by his hard work, it's his team."
In early March, Fuller summoned the 50-odd players into a classroom to discuss the upcoming season. He and several other seniors, including Clemson-bound linebacker/running back Dorian O'Daniel and Virginia-bound quarterback Brendan Marshall, stood in front, while the remainder of the team filled in behind. Fuller made it pristinely clear: Diggs is gone. Brown is gone. And facing what could be the Falcons' most daunting schedule to date, with games against Bishop Gorman and renowned programs St. Joseph Regional (N.J.) High and H.D. Woodson (D.C.) High, he still expects to emerge triumphant.
"He wanted to start early because he's serious about it," said sophomore defensive back Roger Richardson. "The biggest thing is to go undefeated and win a WCAC championship."
Reaching those goals won't be easy. But given Fuller's combination of skill, savvy and leadership, his coaches and teammates aren't shy about buying in.
"He's very smart," said Milloy. "He understand what he's gotta do. Now that Kendall will be the guy, it's certainly gonna be harder for him. But I'm sure he'll be up for the challenge. I'm sure he will."
Added junior wide receiver Andre Levrone: "In my eyes, he's the best corner, hands down, in the country."
Standing in the end zone on that unseasonably warm March evening, Fuller had the look of a star in the making. His giddy demeanor and ear-to-ear smile were contagious, and his Division I potential shone through with every step. Five months remained until the season's first game, but he was ready: ready to begin Good Counsel's WCAC title defense; ready to elevate his career to even loftier heights.
Fans will zero in on his college potential -- he committed to Virginia Tech over Clemson and Michigan on July 29 -- but a bigger storyline is in play. He's transformed from an oft-overshadowed younger brother to the most promising prospect in the entire Fuller family.
"He just sees where we're at now and he wants to be better," said Corey. "I think he's more mature than any of us at that age."
The Fullers are Baltimore's version of the Mannings, athletically gifted and supremely talented, armed with a tireless work ethic to match their uncommon talent. Good Counsel is the region's new-era powerhouse, equipped with a winning legacy and resources that would put many small colleges to shame (Skylar Saar, the strength and conditioning coach, previously worked at James Madison, Maryland, Minnesota and UTEP). Kendall, then, is a product of tradition. And in many ways he is.
But for the first time in his life, he's also the main attraction, the player who scouts will watch for and opposing coaches will prepare against. His playmaking ability will take center stage in 2012 -- a long-awaited opportunity that he's fully embracing.
"The pressure is on, but that's what [I] want," said Fuller. "When you live in the shadows all the time, you want the pressure 'cause you want to show people that you're gonna do whatever it takes."
He has a long way to go, but his journey is just beginning. At the drop of a hat he'll be off.

Granted, most of the good one were caged under lock and key (yes, we're talking to you, elusive PowerShot SX1), but that didn't stop us from mashing our lens (and lips, we won't lie) up against the glass and pulling the shutter. You already know about the specs, now check out the skins and the European model names. Sassy.

Rite of Election is opportunity to show support for those entering Church
Hundreds of catechumens and candidates seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church will gather Feb. 17, the first Sunday of Lent, for the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion at the Cathedral of St. Paul and the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.
Archbishop John Nienstedt will preside at the ceremony at the cathedral at 2 p.m. Bishop Lee Piché will lead the basilica ceremony at 1:30 p.m.
The rite marks the beginning of the final preparation of catechumens (those not baptized) for the sacraments of initiation, typically celebrated at the Easter Vigil. From the time of the Rite of Election until the time of their initiation, the catechumens are referred to as "members of the elect."
During the Call to Continuing Conversion, individuals who already are baptized and who are preparing for entrance into the Catholic Church are recognized.
As of Feb. 12, 214 catechumens and 473 candidates were preparing for initiation, said Father John Paul Erickson, director of the archdiocesan Office of Worship.
During the ceremony, catechumens who have signed the Book of the Elect at their parish come forward to be greeted by the archbishop or bishop, who receives the parish's book. Candidates are asked to stand and be recognized.
"It's a marvelous celebration of the Holy Spirit active and alive in our Church," Father Erickson said.
Call to conversion
The entire local Church is invited to attend the Rite of Election. While catechumens and candidates are seeking initiation into the church, in a larger sense the call to continuing conversion extends to all the faithful.
"We are all called during Lent to meditate upon our baptismal promises and to renew them and to continue to go deeper in terms of conversion," Father Erickson said. "It's a chance for us all to be encouraged and affirmed and challenged."
The rite is also a reminder that the catechumens and candidates are not only becoming members of their local parish, but of the wider Church as well. As such, they need the prayer and support of their fellow Catholics, he said.
"When they are elected by the local bishop, that bishop is not only speaking for this local Church, he is in a very real sense speaking for the universal Church — a universal Church that not only exists on every continent of the world, but also stretches back centuries," Father Erickson said. "These are individuals that are now growing in communion with a history. They're being granted a heritage and a future."

A slot machine based on eggs doesn't sound appealing at all, but my word EggOMatic is a quite sensational slot machine which is based on robot Roosters and Chickens in a factory, but rather than eggs its lots of gold coins we want them to shoot out with the potential of maximum win of 94,750 coins up for grabs.
Played across 5 reels with 20 paylines it begins with a cinematic animated scene of the robots in action in the factory, and with three different bonus features you're practically guaranteed big payouts!
Prepare to be astonished at the symbols in EggOMatic – they are simply amazing. They consist of animated 3D robotic Roosters, Chickens and Eggs, that sit on the reels and perform actions when the reels are idle for some seconds, rather than being 2D symbols that are rather boring.
All of them appear to be rather exhausted, presumably from the constant laying of eggs they have to endure, but a lovely touch is when you land a winning combination they open up and your winning coins shoot out before a jolt of electricity shoots through them.
A Wild Rooster features which has the ability to substitute to make the highest possible winning combination and it is also required on the reels with one of the four bonus eggs above on the conveyor belt. There are also five different robots including a Rooster, Chicken and Chicks, alongside five different coloured eggs which are the lowest valued symbols – making a pleasant change from boring playing card symbols that are seemingly always used.
Situated to the right of the reels is the EggOMatic egg dispenser which shoots eggs out onto a conveyor belt that runs around the reels. This dispenser is loaded with four different types of eggs (Spreading Wild Egg, Free Spins Egg, Coin Win Egg, and Surprise Egg), and when these are dispensed along the top of the reels and you then land a Wild Rooster symbol on a reel below it the egg falls down for the Rooster to open it up and reveal the feature you have gained access to – all of which are outlined below.
This is the egg with a 'W' printed on it and once you activate this feature its turns all of the adjacent and diagonal symbols into additional Rooster Wilds, substituting to make the highest possible winning combination, and ultimately providing you with very generous wins that you'd otherwise not have achieved.
This is my favourite of the four features, and for good reason as it offers colossal rewards. It is triggered by landing the green egg above a Rooster Wild and sees you are rewarded either 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 50 free spins initially – yes you read that correctly, fifty! Throughout the free spins mode an egg will pump out of the egg dispenser on every single free spin which enables you to trigger additional free spins once again, or the other features.
These are the eggs with a coin value written on them and from my experience they are the most frequent to appear on the conveyor belt, offering an instant win should a Rooster Wild be on the reel below. There are six different values of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2500 coins – and while 50 and 100 coins are the most common values you'll see on the conveyor belt, the higher valued prizes do come along quite regularly too.
The Surprise Egg is the one with a question mark printed on it and this actually sees one of the other three bonus features triggered at random. With how rewarding the three bonus features are you simply can't be disappointed, plus this means a one in three chance of triggering the sensational free spins feature rather than one in four if this was a pick 'em game or something else.
EggOMatic is without doubt one of the most fun-filled slot machine I've encountered, boasting a humorous theme combined with a fantastic design and sensational bonus features that promise big rewards.
Of the three bonus features the most rewarding is the free spins mode as you can get up to 50 free spins while triggering the additional features, with the most I've enjoyed being 25 free spins while triggering the Spreading Wild feature too for a handsome win.
All in all, this is a superb slot that will entertain you for countless spins. However, if you seek a bigger thrill you'll prefer the Mega Fortune slot machine where you get a taste of the luxury lifestyle of millionaires and can join them thanks to the progressive jackpot.

Puerto Rico Insurance Industry Has Low Growth Opportunities Given its High Penetration Level, Claims Timetric
25 Mar 2013 • by Natalie Aster
The Puerto Rican economy contracted during 2007–2011 due to a decline in exports, the global financial crisis, falling investment in construction, and a significant decline in government spending. However, the country's insurance industry posted positive growth during the review period, driven by the government's healthcare reforms, implementation of the Medicare program and compulsory third-party motor insurance.
New legislation attracts global investors
The government of Puerto Rico in collaboration with the office of the Commissioner of Insurance enacted regulations to attract global insurers in 2011. According to Act No. 98 of 2011, a flat 4% tax rate applies to all overseas insurers starting business in Puerto Rico in the 2012 tax year. The allowance will be given for 15 years, with an additional option to renew the contract for two more 15-year terms. This initiative boosted investors' confidence and a number of insurers showed interest in the Puerto Rican insurance industry in 2012.
A gateway to the Latin American and US insurance industries
Puerto Rico is treated by global insurers as a location from which to access both Latin America and US insurance industries. The country's proximity to Latin America and the US enables Puerto Rican insurers to underwrite policies directly from these areas.
Insurance unaffected by negative economic growth
According to the report "The Insurance Industry in Puerto Rico, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" by Timetric, the Puerto Rican insurance industry is largely unaffected by the falling national GDP and the global financial crisis. GDP at constant prices fell at annual rates of -1.9%, -2.3%, -2.1% and -2.2% during 2007–2011. However, this did not have any significant impact on the insurance industry due to the government's healthcare reforms and compulsory third-party motor insurance. The Puerto Rican insurance industry grew in terms of written premium value at a CAGR of 5.8% during the review period.

Published: March, 2013

High levels of insurance penetration discourage new entrants
The Puerto Rican insurance industry's penetration (as a percentage of GDP) stood at 11.3% in 2012, significantly higher than Costa Rica with 1.9%, Guatemala with 1.3%, and the Dominican Republic with 1.2%. It was the highest penetration in Latin America, and above the global average of 6.8% in 2012. As a result, opportunities are comparatively few, and insurers considering venturing into Puerto Rico are instead likely to opt for other countries in the region with lower penetration levels. This is likely to limit the growth of the insurance industry in Puerto Rico over the forecast period.

Intelligent Mail barcode – What it means for your business.
What is the Intelligent Mail barcode?
The Intelligent Mail barcode, or IMb for short, is the new standard of mail tracking from the US Postal Service. While this has been around for quite a few years, it will become mandatory for presorting your mail on January 28th, 2013. This comes one day after the postage rate increase on January 27th. The IMb will allow for more accurate tracking of your mail, as it includes much more detailed information than the current standard.
How will the Intelligent Mail barcode affect my business?
That really depends on how you use mail currently. If you do very little mailing and are paying full rate postage, it will not affect you at all. If you are a company that does volume mailings, (for billing, marketing, etc.) then it will drastically affect the way you mail. Remember that the IMb only applies to presorted mail, therefore it will only affect those that try to receive volume automated discounts. For those that fall into this category, you will require sorting software updates, a new addressing machine, or a direct mail house to help you process your volume mailings.
What is the benefit of the Intelligent Mail barcode?
There are quite a few benefits to using the IMb. These will differ depending on your industry and where you reside within your organization. For sales and marketing professionals, the ability to track your mail will afford you the knowledge of when your prospect will receive it. Instead of your package winding up at the "bottom of the pile", you can now follow up as soon as it hits their desks. For people in accounting and legal, the IMb provides a cost effective alternative to certified mail. Now you can get delivery confirmation for mere pennies. For anyone who ships or mails, just having the ability to track mail similar to carrier services such as UPS can be extremely beneficial. Companies that adopt this method will be able to reduce their overall shipping costs.
While we all may not be comfortable with change, it is hard to ignore how positive some change can be. Adopting this new standard will not only benefit the US Postal Service, but also your organization. This type of win-win scenario will help keep mail relevant for years to come.

After hosting dance and reality shows, Manish Paul will be seen as the host of science-based TV show Science Of Stupid and says that he used to stay away from mathematics and commerce during his school days.
"I was in humanities as I always wanted to stay away from maths and commerce. I did my graduation in tourism. I won't say that I was an outstanding student and I won't say that used to flunk in studies. Main utna hi padhta tha jitna zaroori hota tha. And I think it has got me to a decent place," Manish told IANS on phone from Mumbai. (Also read: I Get Nervous Before Stage Appearances: Manish Paul)
So far, he has hosted fun-filled shows and his tryst with hosting began with Wheel Ghar Ghar Mein, in which he used to visit people's houses. After that, he replaced Jay Bhanushali as the host of Zee TV's dance reality show Dance India Dance (DID).
If he made the audience laugh a zillion times with his wit and humour, now he is all set to entertain and educate them with Science Of Stupid, which will goes on air from Monday on National Geographic Channel.
He will be seen mixing fun with science on the show. (Also read: No Problem With Drashti After Jhalak Reshuffle: Manish Paul
"This time it's not just the entertainment, but also a lot of information," he said.
"People will enjoy the show, as they will get both at the same time. All of us have tried to mess around with science at some point of time in our lives. I just want to say that there's a logic behind everything," added Manish, who also hosted dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Counting it Out
Thanks for all the kind comments regarding Chris and I's four year anniversary! I know I didn't really talk about it much beforehand, but it's really not that big of a deal for us. Chris and I like to keep the cheesiness to a minimum in our relationship. In fact, I've told him several times that I will break up with him if he ever writes me a poem or anything else equally as lame. But we're also not ones to turn down an excuse to go out for a good meal ;) If you're curious about how we met, etc , I wrote about it in a previous post here.
Despite only sleeping a measly six hours last night, I at least finally discovered a place in my apartment that takes decent photos in the dark mornings.
Much better than spooky oats ;)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey powder
- cinnamon
- frozen berries
- plain yogurt w/ vanilla extract and stevia
- Fibre 1 cereal
AKA an Oatmeal & Yogurt Parfait. Haven't had this since berries went out of season! Not as good with the frozen stuff, but still tasty. This bowl will always hold a special place in my heart as it's what I ate almost every. single. day. while I was losing weight.
My hunger is still off the charts today. I was digging around my kitchen for my morning snack mega early. Had another old favourite.
Wasa fibre rye crisps, almond butter, raisins, cinnamon. Ants on a wasa?
Sure enough, I was looking for lunch early too! This is the exact same "boring" lunch I had yesterday. Luckily, boring is often delicious ;)
Fontaine tofu spread, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, romaine. When me and homemade applesauce get married, I want tofu spread to be my maid of honour :P Unpictured is the honeycrisp that rounded the meal out.
My day was spent running errands and "catching up" on aspects of my life that get neglected on work days. Dinner was "thrown together." Literally. Usually there are two ways I throw together a meal. Put a bunch of ingredients in a pan and sauté it, or put them on a baking sheet and roast it. Tonight's was the latter.
- 1/2 block tofu, cubed
- 1/4 onion, chopped
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 6 button mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 tomato, chopped
- 1/2 buttercup squash, cubed
- 2 handfuls spinach (towards end of baking)
I tossed everything, minus the spinach, in a big bowl with a little olive oil, pepper, parmesan cheese and this stuff:
My mom insisted I buy this Kirkland organic no-salt seasoning when she took me to Costco. I know better than to go against my mother's wishes.
Then I let everything roast up at 425 F for about 20 minutes, then at 350 F after adding the spinach for an additional 5 minutes.
The one bad thing about "throwing things together" is that I just keep chopping new things up and adding them to the mix. This turned out to be so much food! I ate maybe 2/3 of it then claimed defeat. The tofu in that seasoning was delicious, but I oddly did not care for the squash. Too dry and bland.
I decided to make today a rest day after my 8 mile run yesterday. My old lady hips were a little cranky with me after forcing them on a long run the day after I put them through multiple weighted squats at the gym. Thankfully, they're in a much better mood now :)
Just finished up an hour long living room yoga session. Yoga class was cancelled tonight. Boo. I tried out a Dave Farmar power vinyasa podcast. It was alright. I did 30 minutes until I called it quits. I can only go up and down so many times until I get annoyed! :P I did work up a nice little sweat though. Finished it off with some balance yoga from Yoga Today. I really dig the balance poses because I'm actually good at them! I could hang out in tree or dancer all day :)
I also want to let you guys know that I'll be counting my calories for the next few days. I haven't done this in seven months! I know a lot of people hate calorie counting because of the obsessing and analyzing that often goes with. But it's never been like that for me. Calorie counting was like a slap upside the head for me when I started losing weight. I didn't have a sweet clue what calories were, or what their effects were. That's not to say I didn't struggle with calorie counting at times, but overall, it was just a really useful weight loss tool for me.
Anyways, I just feel like it's time to check-in and make sure I'm still on-track. I haven't gained any weight, nor do I want to lose any more weight. But I have not been feeling as content as I'd like to be about my food choices lately. When I moved into weight maintenance, I wanted to make sure there were no "off-limit" foods, which there were plenty of while I was losing weight. But I just feel lately, I've been using that as an excuse to eat more processed foods, especially sugar. So I want to take a few days to reflect on my food and really just bring it back to basics. I want to feel confident about my food choices again, and not like I'm derailing a bit. I'll keep you updated on how my "check-in" is going :)
Question of the Day: What are your feelings on calorie counting? Like I said, I think it's a really effective tool for weight loss. But I also don't think it has much of a place in weight maintenance, unless you need it to achieve fitness goals (ie to ensure you're eating properly during marathon training). With that said, I know from my own personal history that bad eating is a long and slippery slope for me. Hopefully stepping back and taking a look at my food choices will again raise awareness of what I'm putting in my body and get me feeling good about it again :)

I track calories maybe 2 or 3 days a week. I honestly am not sure whether I should be tracking more, or less, but this seems to be a pretty good place for me an sustainable so I'm sticking with it. I like to "check in" too and set a pattern but sill have flexibility most days.
i think calorie counting definitely has a place! i use it to make sure i eat enough on long-run days, and in the past, it was helpful in teaching me proper portion sizes. if it works for you, do it!
That's cool that you feel good about re-checking with yourself. I JUST stopped counting cals a couple of months ago. At first I lost weight, then gained a bit back. ironically I did ok on vacay but fell apart when I got home!!.
I'm still higher than I'd like to be but I know that I'm eating when I'm not hungry. So I don't THINK that I need to count to confirm it. i just need to tell myself to STOP eating if I'm not hungry dammit! :-) I've been craving sweets something awful lately and drinking diet coke like water- bad bad bad. Gonna pull back on the d.c. and try to be more in tuned with my body. Good luck though and let us know how it goes.
Checking yourself periodically is a very smart thing to do.
I think calorie counting is a good thing, as long as one doesn't become obsessed with it. The only problem I see with calorie counting is that some people will forgo nutrition to get the least amount of calories. I would rather eat more calories of 'real' food than less calories of processed 'diet' food.
I have portion control problems cause I like to eat, so counting and measuring will always have to be a part of my life, but I actually like doing it. Must be even more of a nerd than I thought I was.
I've been calorie counting lately to try and make sure I'm eating enough.. I never thought I'd see that day! I think it can get a bit obsessive for some, but sometimes it's helpful too!
I love Costcos seasonings! You should get their saigon cinnamon.. its so good!
I was about to say I don't calorie count, but I realized that I do. I just do it in my head. I'm learning that I need larger breakfasts and lunches, but if I don't count I can easily have 250 calories and call it a meal. So I keep track until dinner, and then I think about the exercise I've done and think "ok I need to eat less than XX calories tonight"
I find that strict counting doesn't help me lose weight, so why do it? Especially since it's nearly impossible to track your every calorie (food labels are misleading, your apple could have 50 cals or 120 depending on size, etc…). But I think what you're doing is a good idea and you have a great attitude about it. Keep us posted!
Sugar makes me feel like crap! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to keep me away from the sweets, but awareness is the first step, right?
Whew, holy rambling! Guess I have lots to say
Love how colorful your pita sandwich is!
I guess as a yoga teacher, I dont ever listen to podcasts…I just move as my body asks me to. And not how a teacher in my headphones asks me to. If someone's flow was annoying, I would for sure shut it off…that's not yoga! Good call!
Cal counting? No. That's a way to drive yourself nuts, just my opinion :)
Believe it or not I have been counting my calories for about three years now. Even though it only took me like six months to lose most of my excess weight (50 pounds), I continue to do it because it keeps me on track.
A friend recently asked me "…how long I will be counting calories for?" and my response was, "How long will you be making sure your checking account balance doesn't fall below zero?"
I guess my point is, if you find something that works, why stop. I am not opposed to stopping, but it just seems to work great for me. It keeps me accountable. Or afoodable as I like to call it.
Once I gained control of how much I was eating, making better food choices became all that easier to fine-tune.
I think we all make the mistake of trying to do too much all at once, eat better, workout more, and eat less, etc. I say, pick one… make it a new good habit, then move onto the next.
the only thing i can say about calorie counting from personal experience is that is drove me friggin' bananas. however, i do realize it as an effective tool for weight loss.
yay for yoga….i haven't worked out in four days and am itching to do something. perhaps after some yoga, i will make those roasted veggies + tofu. that looks amazing!
love ya girl
I swear. Having everyone added to my google reader takes away from me clicking on ppl's individual website and leaving a comment. But today, I just wanted to say congrats (a bit belated) on your 4 yr anniversary! Hooray for the 4 year team! (We hit ours in June and aren't exactly celebrators either).
I was never one to track calories per se because I lost 110lbs with weight watchers, so it was more points for me, but since I have started maintaining I find myself looking at the back of the packages more and more and being focused on the calories. I agree it doesn't have much of a place in weight maintainence but I think that a quick check in every once in a while can be a good thing!!
Great post – BTW why are poems cheesy?
– Adam @ http://www.turnupmyworkout.com
I repect calorie counting and do it on occassion. It's the best method for me to lose weight. Once I get in a routine I prefer to quit for awhile though because I get too obsessed with numbers and I noticed I would choose a less nutritious item solely because it had less calories which is counterproductive to eating healthy!
Calorie counting didn't work out for me long term but I do think it can be super useful as a tool for weight loss/gain/maintenance. Whilst it doesn't teach people a holistic approach to nutrition, I think it can be a wake up call for a lot of people. I remember the shock on a friend's face when she realised that the morning bran muffin she thought was a healthy choice packed almost 700 calories…
Way to go on the long run btw :)

Edinburgh sparkles in winter
Places to be this Christmas & New Years
Edinburgh really does light up in winter - sparkling with festive spirit, dazzling lights and something for everyone to take part in. Already known for big festivals and a youthful vibe in the summer, Edinburgh doesn't let up at all in the winter.
To pull you out of the winter doldrums, the streets are lit with spectacular Christmas lights, the Edinburgh Wheel gets dusted off, the Traditional German Christmas Market and Scottish Street Market open for business, gluhwein flows and fireworks light up the sky. The festivities kick off in November and run until Christmas in a great programme of events and activities. If that's not enough, the fun continues with the programming for Edinburgh's Hogmanay festivities.
In the lead up to Christmas, you can expect the opening of Winter Wonderland (one of Britain's largest outdoor ice rinks with nearby food stalls), carolling, and plenty of activities at the Princes Street Gardens with the Edinburgh Wheel and Christmas Carousel. Over two dozen venues will stage Christmas shows and pantomimes and nine exhibitions will feature as the highlights of the cultural calendar.
To see the largest gathering of Santas you'll ever find, then make sure you're in town on Sunday 10th December. Edinburgh is competing for an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest gathering of Santas at the Great Scottish Santa Run. This will be to raise funds for When You Wish Upon a Star, a charity for children with terminal illnesses
Not enough for Christmas? Then stay in town for Hogmanay celebrations during the New Year. Recognised the world over as the true home of Hogmanay, Edinburgh brings in the New Year in style. The city comes alive with processions, street theatre, live pop and classical concerts, indoor and outdoor ceilidhs - all combined with the warmest welcome you will find anywhere in the world.
And of course, it finishes with a bang on New Years Eve, with parties all over town, from the Royal Bank Street Party on Prince Street to Concert in the Gardens for some great live music. And this is just some of what's on offer! Check out the websites for a full programme listing.

Strengthening Our Faith [Part 12]
February 18
Only God is the giver of faith and only He can increase it. My friend, put yourself out there to do more wherever God puts you.
Our faith is only part of God's fullness. You are in Christ and Christ is in you, and because you are in Christ, you now and forever have God's fullness of grace and faith.
God is faithful. He cannot be opposite of that. You're in Him and He is in you in all His fullness. If you are a child of God, you have great faith within you because He is within you. The problem is that we do not rely on the One within us who is Mr. Faith and therefore we have little faith. Why? It is because were depending on ourselves in our humanity instead of depending on the one who lives in us, God who is the fullness of faith and the fullness of grace.

We often receive the question, what is the best way to deliver my animated presentation to someone on another computer who doesn't have PowerPoint or Keynote?
While there are several options available for converting a PowerPoint presentation into a format that can be watched anywhere. Probably the best option when dealing with a presentation containing animation, video or sound is to convert the entire presentation to a video file.
PowerPoint 2010 makes this easy with a Save As Windows Media Video function directly as an option when you save the presentation. Many of the videos on our website were originally saved as .WMV files from PowerPoint 2010. Keynote 09 also has an Export feature that allows you to save your presentation as a easily watched Quicktime video.
Here is a sample video from PowerPoint 2010:
After you have the final video, you could easily use a service like YouTube to display your final presentation video.
If you are using a different version of PowerPoint, you can still save your final presentation as a video by using a screen capture program. I use Microsoft Expression Encoder 4's Screen Capture program to record my video tutorials. If your presentations are less than 10 minutes long, you can get by with the .
For Mac users not using Keynote 09, TechSmith, the makers of Camtasia, has a nice . You can record up to 5 minutes with the free version.

In this week's Week in Review: US federal prosecutors open an investigation into media buying practices by ad agencies including Havas, Amazon considers stepping into FreeWheel's video ad serving territory, and Comcast wins the battle against Fox for Sky. To receive an update on the industry's top stories every Friday, sign up to the weekly Video Round-Up.
Top Stories
US Federal Prosecutors Open Investigation Into Media Buying
Federal prosecutors in the US have opened an investigation into non-transparent media-buying practices conducted by the large agency holding groups, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The FBI has reportedly over the past few months interviewing people within the industry about ad-buying practices, as was reported by Campaign back in June, and prosecutors have now begun issuing subpoenas as part of the investigation according the the WSJ. Havas was named as one of the companies under scrutiny, but others are also being investigated.
Amazon Considers Building Video Ad Server
Amazon has reportedly recently been discussing building its own video ad server which would compete directly with FreeWheel and Google's video ad serving. It's claimed the company has held conversations with big video players around licensing the tech. A report from Business Insider says that Amazon wants to build a video ad server primarily to serve its own streaming services, but that the potential to license out such a server has arisen during meetings Amazon has held with media companies.
Google has, over the past year or so, been muscling into FreeWheel's specialist territory of serving video ads on streamed TV content. If Amazon does try to enter the space, it might be advantaged by it's ability to build a server specifically to meet the needs of the current market, and to use its customer data for ad targeting.
Comcast Wins Battle for Sky
Comcast won last weekend's auction for Sky, substantially beating out Fox's offer in the final sealed bid round. Comcast's final bid came in at £17.28 per share, representing a total bid of £30.6 billion, much higher than Fox's £15.67 per share offer. Following the result, Fox has agreed to sell its own 39 percent stake in Sky to Comcast, handing Comcast full control of the British broadcaster.
The deal makes Comcast the largest pay-TV operator in the world, with 52 million customers, according to Reuters. Chairman and chief executive Brian Roberts echoed what he'd said when the takeover was first proposed, stating that Sky will help Comcast expand internationally. However, some believe the company has overpaid, and its stock fell by nearly eight percent when markets opened on Monday. The final price is much higher than than Comcast's initial bid of £22 billion.
The Week in Tech
AT&T Unveils New Ad Division, Xandr
Following AT&T's acquisition of AppNexus earlier this year, the telecoms company has unveiled its rebranded advertising division, 'Xandr'. Xandr encompasses all aspects of the existing AT&T advertising & analytics businesses, including AT&T's advanced TV business, AT&T AdWorks; AT&T's data and analytics business; ATT.net and AppNexus, which will continue to support its US and global customers under the Xandr umbrella.
The company also announced that Xandr has entered into agreements with Altice USA and Frontier Communications to aggregate and sell their national addressable TV advertising inventory. AT&T says this marks the first steps towards creating a national TV marketplace for advertisers and premium content publishers.
BARB Launches Multiple Screen Reporting
UK TV measurement body BARB has for the first time begun to report multiple-screen television programme ratings. BARB is now producing daily viewing figures which break down the number of people watching television programmes on four screens: TV sets, tablets, PCs and smartphones. These multiple-screen viewing figures are the output of Project Dovetail, and will be released in three stages. Programme average audiences were released this week, with multiple-screen reach/time spent viewing and multiple-screen advertising campaign performance to be released in the future.
iSpot.tv Raises $30 Million in Funding
TV ad measurement company iSpot.tv announced this week it has raised $30 million in an investment round lead by Insight Venture Partners and Madrona Venture Group. This brings total investment in the company to $57.8 million. iSpot, which says it helps brands definitively attribute TV ad exposures, has seen revenue growth of over 100 percent year-on-year for five years running. The company says the new investment will be used to continue product innovations, and to expand customer success and sales operations.
UK Viewability Hits All Time High
UK viewability rates hit an all time high in H1 this year according to Integral Ad Science's latest Media Quality Report. Viewability levels for desktop video ads reached 64.5 percent, while mobile web video ads hit 69 percent. The study also found that ad fraud levels remain higher among video ads than display ads, due to fraudsters chasing video's higher CPMs. Overall fraud rates for video ads not optimised against fraud were 8.6 percent in H1 this year, while optimised ads saw fraud rates of only 1.4 percent.
Millenials and Gen Z Concerned About Data, but Accept Cookies Nonetheless says Report
Millenials and Gen Z in the UK are concerned about use of their private data online, but nonetheless accept the majority of cookies anyway according to a report from The Exchange Lab and Populus. The survey found that while 77 percent are so concerned about data usage that they don't think the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes far enough, only 11 percent actually carefully consider before accepting cookies on websites they visit. The report also looked into these generations attitudes towards the online value exchange associated with advertising. Almost half (47 percent) said they were happy to share personal data with brands if they get something in return.
OpenX Joins IAB UK Board
OpenX this week announced the company is taking a board seat with IAB UK, a UK trade association for digital advertising. OpenX's vice president of European partner services, Gavin Stirrat, will be representing the company on the IAB UK Board, joining over 20 other industry leaders including representatives from the likes of Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. "Quality is in our DNA at OpenX. IAB UK's own quality initiatives align closely with our top priorities at OpenX, and I strongly believe this collaboration will prove immensely valuable in building a sustainable and fraud-free digital advertising ecosystem in the days, months and years to come," said Gavin Stirrat.
The Week in TV
Apple's $1 Billion Content Budget Earmarked for Controversy-Free Shows
Apple has set aside $1 billion to spend on original programming, but CEO Tim Cook is insisting the company invests only in broad-appeal shows which are free of violence, politics, and risqué story lines. According to a WSJ report, Cook fears that since Apple is primarily a consumer products company, viewers have the ability to punish the business for making content they don't like by boycotting its products, meaning it can't afford to risk showing edgier content in the same way companies like Netflix can. Cook's concerns were apparently first sparked while watching Apple's first scripted drama, 'Vital Signs', which featured drug taking, gratuitous sex scenes, and gun violence.
Hearst Launches Private Connected TV Marketplace
Hearst Television this week announced the launch of Hearst Anyscreen, an over-the-top (OTT) advertising platform which will give brands preferred access to Hearst-owned programming through partnerships with content delivery businesses like Roku. "Hearst is particularly well positioned as a premium video publisher, both locally and nationally," said Jordan Wertlieb, Hearst Television's president. "When we combine our content assets and partnerships with key distribution platforms, we have a very special value proposition for our clients."
Premium Video Ad Views Up 31 Percent in Europe
Ads run on premium video content saw total views in Europe shoot up 31 percent year-on-year in Europe, while total video views increased 22 percent, according to FreeWheel's Video Monetisation Report for Q2 2018. 'Big screen' viewing on TV sets captured almost a third (30 percent) of all ad view during the period, which FreeWheel attributed partly to the FIFA World Cup. The report also found that direct-sold deals still dominate the market, accounting for 88 percent of premium video ads sold in Q2.
The Week in Publishing
Instagram Co-Founders Leave Company
Instagram's co-founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, revealed this week that they are both leaving the firm, saying they want to look into creating new products elsewhere. The pair, who are CEO and CTO respectively, had reportedly had disagreements with the leadership of Instagram owner Facebook, with tensions starting as far back as 2014 when Facebook bough WhatsApp. The two had apparently been keen to avoid the heavy integration between Facebook and Instagram which Facebook's leadership had sought.
Over 8 years ago, Kevin and I started Instagram, hoping to build something that would bring out people's creativity and spirit for exploration. Now it's time for the next chapter. A huge thank you to everyone in the community who we've met along the way. https://t.co/9Omyj6VHbe

Vox Media Expected to Miss Revenue Targets
Vox Media will reportedly miss its revenue targets for this year by a significant margin as digital ad revenues for the year disappoint, according to the WSJ. The company had apparently set a revenue target for 2018 of $200 million, representing 25 percent growth on last year's income of $160 million. Instead, according to those close to the matter, the publisher fears it will struggle to hit double-digit percentage revenue growth.
eMarketer Lowers Snap Ad Revenue Forecast
Despite Snap's efforts to make its platform more advertiser-friendly over the past year, eMarketer has significantly downgraded its 2018 ad revenue forecast for the company, lowering its prediction from $1.03 billion in March to $662.1 million. The adjustment comes from the fact that most ads on Snapchat are now bought programmatically, which is bringing down prices.
The Week for Agencies
WPP to Merge Young & Rubicam with VML
WPP announced this week its plans to merge two of its properties, US agency Young & Rubicam and digitally focused VML, into a new business called VMLY&R. The new business will be led by current VML chief executive Jon Cook. The move is part of new WPP CEO Mark Read's efforts to simplify WPP's structure, a strategy largely endorsed by analysts who believe the holding group's sprawling network of agencies needs to be consolidated.
S4 Captial Debuts on Stock Market
Sir Martin Sorrell's investment vehicle S4 Capital debuted on the London Stock Exchange today as it completed its reverse takeover of Derriston plc. Derriston has now officially been renamed S4 Capital, with Sorrell taking over as executive chairman.

The late Joseph Papp had a dream which was to bring free Shakespeare to the communities. His legacy lives and the commitment, to bring free Shakespearean plays to the community, and to strengthen audience engagement with the arts, via The Public Theater's Mobile Unit continues and it's still free.
The spring the free three-week tour to the five boroughs will present Henry V, directed by Robert O'Hara marking the mobile units eighth year (March 29 – April 21) and will feature original music by Elisheba Ittoop. Making the tour mobile allows the team to literally bring the work to audiences who have limited or no access to the arts by visiting correctional facilities, homeless shelters, social service organizations, and other community venues. Part of The Public's Astor Anniversary Season at their landmark downtown home on Lafayette Street, celebrating 50 years of new work at 425 Lafayette Street and the 50th Anniversary of HAIR, the three-week engagement at The Public Theater will also be free, running Monday, April 23 through Sunday, May 13 with an official press opening on Friday, April 27.
"The Mobile Unit is fueled by an unwavering belief in the power of a shared storytelling, and a commitment to meeting audiences where they are," said Director of Special Artistic Projects Stephanie Ybarra. "I'm thrilled to welcome this company of artists to join The Public's decades-old legacy of creating world-class theater for the city of New York."
The casting of all the plays produced at the Public Theater is tremendous, and the Henry V cast includes Michael Bradley Cohen (Canterbury/Dauphin), Leland Fowler (Scroop/William-Bates), Patrice Johnson (Montjoy/Messengers), Carolyn Kettig (Katharine/Cambridge), Ariel Shafir (Westmoreland/Constable), David Ryan Smith (Exeter/Governor), Joe Tapper (French King/French Queen), Zenzi Williams (Henry), and Kim Wong (Alice/Grey).
Directed by Robert O'Hara the story is about the warring King and their band of brothers to communities all across New York with the Mobile Unit's spring production of Henry V. Insulted by the regent of France, Britain's King Henry V decide to wage war and claim the throne across the Channel. But Henry's charm only distracts the soldiers for so long before the dire stakes of their task call into question the King's true motives and direction. Resonating from across the centuries—wherever there may be a kingdom for a stage, and royalty to act—Shakespeare's drama about an invasion, ego, and leadership delves into history's thorniest questions: What makes a person worthy of wearing the crown, and what do they owe the people they lead?
All tour performances are free, and performances at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center; Roy Wilkins Recreation Center; The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts; Brownsville Recreation Center; Williamsbridge Oval Recreation Center; St. Paul's Chapel; Pelham Fritz Recreation Center; and Faber Park Field House, are also open to the general public via RSVP.

Full HD videos on my youtube channel. Click here
This section features on-board track day and karting videos from events I have participated in over the past few years, including the Le Mans 24hr kart race in France, racing for Race Drivers Inc (RDI) and for Porsheworx.
Latest Videos
- Team Sport Karting – Arrive and drive (28th April 2018)
I went to Team Sport Crawley with 9 other people in April 2018. The format was a 15 minute session with everyone aiming for the fastest lap time. I managed to set not only the fastest lap time of the day, but the fastest of the week with a 23.8. This video feature several overtakes, a banzai move or two which one didn't pay off, but the other one did, but both against a friend who was proving a little tricky to overtake.

- Japfest, Silverstone (30th April 2017)
I attended Japfest at Silverstone on 30th April 2017, an absolutely huge Japanese car show featuring thousands of modified Japanese cars. As well as the static displays, there was plenty of track action as well. I went out on track in my Toyota Starlet Glanza V in the W session at 4:20pm. The first few laps I took her steady but you can see I got progressively faster as the session went on, overtaking some much more powerful and expensive cars. The rear grip wasn't great so a lot of movement from the rear end going into the corners. Towards the end, the car temperature was running quite high. The wheels / brakes were so hot the centre caps on my wheels melted and fell out. If you wish to leave comments, please check out my video on Youtube > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB5BWDkU6eY&t=1s
- Team Sport Karting – Qualifying (25th Feb 2016)
Team Sport Karting – Race (25th Feb 2016)
I went to Team Sport Crawley with 11 other people back in February 2016. The format was a 15 minute practice / qualifying session, followed by a 15 minute race. I qualified 1st and won the race from pole, and happy to take home a gold trophy in the shape of a helmet. Both videos feature many overtakes of back markers, a few love taps and going for gaps that didn't really exist! Didn't pick up any penalties though! In the race itself, my friend Adam was taken out and hit the wall on the down ramp. He ended up retiring from the race and ended up in East Surrey hospital! Luckily he's since recovered. Enjoy the videos. If you wish to leave comments on Youtube, please visit my channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5V_yFqAQtbI5pf-qALhZ3g
- Japfest, Castle Combe (16th May 2015)
My first time around Castle Combe in the driving seat in my Toyota Starlet Glanza and it was quite tricky. The cars handling was pretty bad, going light at the rear of some corners, then understeering a bit into others, and generally not feeling like a nice place to be. There's also the added worry that Castle Combe is not very forgiving, so if you get it wrong, you're going into the barriers, which is always on the back of your mind. Still, once the handling issues have been addressed, I'm going to come back to Combe for another blast and see if I can go a bit quicker. Fastest speed reached was 117Mph, GPS verified, but not shown in the video. Enjoy
- Japfest 2, Donington Park (17th August 2014)
My third visit around Donington Park as part of the Japfest 2 car show. This time as part of the 12:40 intermediate session. Unfortunately just as we began the sighting laps (not shown in video), it started to rain, so by the time the footage starts, the track is already damp and the rain just got heavier. The result was using the available time to not only get used to some handling changes on the car, but also find the grip, whilst driving on summer tyres. A couple of drivers didn't adapt to the conditions and caused two seperate red flag incidents, resulting in a slightly disappointing session on track. Enjoy the video
- PCGB Round 5, Buckmore Park (1st June 2014)
I was kindly invited along by members of the Porsche Club UK who hold an endurance race each month, this time at Buckmore Park. Sixteen drivers took to the grid in a close battle, lasting 45 minutes. It's the first endurance race I've done in a while so great to get back in a kart and battle for a podium place. Conditions were good, and the Sodi RT8 karts drove excellently, but unfortunately I wasn't able to improve on my qualifying position and ended up finishing 5th, 0.1 seconds behind 4th and 3 seconds off a podium place.
- PCGB Round 5, Buckmore Park Qualifying (1st June 2014)
Qualifying video from the Porsche Club UK's monthly race, this time at Buckmore park. My fastest lap was a 51.642, putting me into 4th place of 16 drivers.
- BHP Show, Lydden Hill 2 (5th May 2014)
My second session on track at the BHP show after this mornings run. The front left tyre was pretty worn down from this mornings session due to the nature of the track so took it a bit steady. The session was cut short due to a red flag, as another driver put their car into the tyres.
- BHP Show, Lydden Hill 1 (5th May 2014)
My first ever session around Lydden Hill so took a few laps to get the hang of the circuit and getting the car up to temperature. It coped pretty well. The rear end started to get a bit twitchy as the tyres overheated (Pressures too high) towards the end of the session, but it was still an enjoyable session. Managed a couple of over takes and didn't get passed too often.
- Japfest 2, Donington Park (7th July 2013)
Donington is a fantastic circuit so it was great to return here for the second time. After passing the noise tests with the exhaust bung installed, took to the track passing everything in my way! Towards the end, I went into the final chicane a bit too hot, causing the rear to spin out facing me the wrong way. Just glad my friend in the Toyota Corolla AE86 didn't hit me as I was sitting right on the apex.
