Week 11 Preview: Taking advantage of others' losses
By Richard FarleyMay 16, 2014, 12:38 AM EDT
As stars around the league leave the domestic scene to prepare for June's international stage, Major League Soccer's season forges on. With eight matches on tap for the campaign's 11th round, here's a quick look at the coming MLS weekend:
Note: All rankings reflect PST's weekly MLS Power Rankings.
SUCH LITTLE REWARD
#18 Philadelphia Union vs. #3 New England Revolution, Saturday, 7:00 p.m. Eastern
Last week: Philadelphia lost to D.C. United but rebounded with a mid-week win at Sporting Kansas City; New England hit reset on Seattle's surge with a 5-0 victory.
For the first time since March, Philadelphia is into the win column — beating the defending champions on the road, no less — and what's their reward? A visit from the hottest team in the league. Three clubs had claims to the top spot in this week's Power Rankings, and over the course of four days, the Union have to face two of them.
The Revolution go about their business in a completely different way to Kansas City, but the end product has some similarities. At times, New England can be quite conservative, but they're capable of pouncing on any mistake thanks to the presence of a couple of playmakers. As they showed against Seattle, the Revs can make the most of midfield mistakes, with Diego Fagundez, Patrick Mullins, and Teal Bunbury forming a dangerous trio in transition.
Key matchup: Whomever partners normal central defender Amobi Okugo in defensive midfield will have to help contain Lee Nguyen. Brian Carroll missed Wednesday's game with a groin problem. If he can't go on Saturday, the Union will lean heavily on Okugo.
HOW COME YOU DON'T LOSE ANYBODY?
#2 Real Salt Lake vs. #16 Colorado Rapids, Saturday, 9:30 p.m. Eastern
Last week: RSL won in Houston; Colorado drew in San Jose before losing by three Chivas USA.
Still unbeaten under Jeff Cassar, the Western Conference champions get to deal with the losses of Álvaro Saborío, Kyle Beckerman, and Nick Rimando. Devon Sandoval and Jeff Attinella will likely step in up top and in goal, but who takes Beckerman's spot now that Yordany Alvarez is in Orlando?
As for Colorado, they're missing … nobody? That can't be right. (Double checks roster.) Apparently, it is. As teams like Seattle, Real Salt Lake, and San Jose are hit hard by World Cup callups, the Rapids will roll through the tournament with their first choice squad in tact? Well, congratulations, Pablo Mastroeni. Make the most of it.
Key matchup: Javier Morales can hurt you from anywhere, but if Jose Mari can use Beckerman's absence to severe the cord between RSL's three deeper midfielders and its attacking focal point, Cassar will miss Saborío even more.
#15 Portland Timbers vs. #11 Columbus Crew, Saturday, 10:30 p.m. Eastern
Last week: Portland drew with LA, 1-1; Columbus lost at Houston and at home to Vancouver
Will Johnson's country didn't make it. Nor did Donovan Ricketts'. Darlington Nagbe's years away from being eligible for the U.S., while Michael Harrington didn't make any progress in the U.S.'s January camp. Aside from the injured Diego Chará, Portland is at full strength, whereas visiting Columbus will be missing three-quarters of its defense. For a team that relies so heavily on its central defenders being decent, the losses of Michael Parkhurst and Giancarlo Gonzalez (as well as left back Waylon Francis) could kill Columbus.
Key matchup: Whenever Diego Valeri turns upfield, Wil Trapp needs to be there. Nagbe is also a key to Portland's attack, but take out Valeri, and the Timbers' drive goes with him.
#14 Chicago Fire vs. #1 Sporting Kansas City, Sunday, 3:00 p.m. Eastern
Last week: Chicago won in New York, 5-4; Sporting won in Montréal but lost at home to Philadelphia on Wednesday
Who would have thought Sporting's would transcend the absences of Graham Zusi and Matt Besler? Yet after its loss to Philadelphia, the defending champions face another of the Eastern Conference's bottom dwellers, only this one is coming off it's best performance of the season.
Like Columbus and Real Salt Lake, Sporting faces a team that lost nobody, with Quincy Amarikwa and Mike Magee guaranteed to test that Besler-less defense. It will be up to Paulo Nagamura and Oriol Rosell to limit their center backs' exposure.
Key matchup: Even in victory, Chicago's defense was a problem. Zusi may be gone, but the work rate of Dom Dwyer can still take advantage of service from Benni Feilhaber, Chance Myers, and Seth Sinovic. Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and whomever starts to his left (Bakary Soumaré or Patrick Ianni) will have to keep tabs on him.
WHERE AGING FORWARDS DARE
#12 Toronto FC vs. #7 New York Red Bulls, Saturday, 4:30 p.m. Eastern
Last week: The Reds were given a week to consider their three-match losing streak; New York lost 5-4 at home to Chicago
In a season where the World Cup talent on rosters harkens back to the league's early days, two of the circuit's big-ticket items are staying home. Thierry Henry has long been out of the France national team picture, while Jermain Defoe will be left behind by Roy Hodgson. Making a combined $10.53 million dollars this year, the former Premier League duo will entertain us while their peers are in Brazil.
The big absence here is Toronto's Michael Bradley. Tim Cahill and Roy Miller are also missing for New York, but neither man is as important to the Red Bulls and Bradley is to Toronto. With Álvaro Rey returning to health, Jonathan Osorio and Kyle Bekker could be teamed in the middle as TFC tries to end its three-game losing streak.
Key matchup: Particularly behind forwards who don't provide much pressure, Bekker and Osorio will need to be conscious of where Henry is moving. Ideally, Dax McCarty will be forced to find the Red Bull playmaker wide, which will shift the emphasis onto right back Mark Bloom.
CAN'T WE JUST RESCHEDULE?
#3 Seattle Sounders vs. #8 San Jose Earthquakes, Saturday, 10:00 p.m. Eastern
Last week: Seattle beat FC Dallas before getting crushed at New England; San Jose drew with Colorado before extending Dallas's losing streak
Number three versus number eight. This looks like a pretty good game right? Except San Jose is missing its four best players (Chris Wondolowski, Clarence Goodson, Víctor Bernárdez, Shea Salinas) while Seattle will be without Clint Dempsey, Brad Evans, and DeAndre Yedlin. Seattle's thinning fullback corps could even things out (Dylan Remick should be back), but without "Wondo" and Salinas, the Earthquakes may not have the firepower to bother the Sounders.
Key matchup: Obafemi Martins can tied up the best of central tandems, but on against Ty Harden and J.J. Koval? The Nigerian will have a major advantage. Hopefully San Jose's duo can summon the spirit of the Nemesio Diéz.
THEY COULD HAVE SETTLED IT ON THE FIELD
#13 Houston Dynamo vs. #5 LA Galaxy, Saturday, 8:30 p.m. Eastern
Last week: Houston beat Columbus before giving up five at home to Real Salt Lake; LA drew in Portland
Landon Donovan is a heavy favorite to make the U.S.'s squad for Brazil, but he still needs to show Jurgen Klinsmann that whatever plagued him in April hasn't lingered into May. Even if he does, the U.S. icon may have to outplay Houston's Brad Davis for a place in the squad.
With both U.S. internationals in California, Boniek Garcia (set to join Honduras after Saturday's game) and Stefan Ishizaki will have to provide the creativity in midfield, though the game's big difference could be in the forward corps. Robbie Keane, who scored his fifth goal of the season last week, will test David Horst in Houston's defense, while Mark Sherrod will get a chance at an Omar Gonzalez-less defender, if Will Bruin can't go.
Key matchup: Horst is going to have to keep his defense organized to deal with Keane, but the absence of Ricardo Clark could prove costly. Last week in Portland was an extremely example, but particularly since Rob Friend's been inserted into the starting lineup, Keane is spending more and more time dropping into midfield.
FINALLY … FAVORITES
#9 D.C. United vs. #19 Montréal Impact, Saturday, 7:00 p.m. Eastern
Last week: D.C. United won in Philadelphia, 1-0; Montréal went down a man early and lost at home to Sporting, 3-0
A huge sign of progress for D.C. United: They're actually, unambiguously, favorites in a game. But from a certain perspective, this is where the pressure starts.
It's one thing to motivate yourself to plays as underdogs, using any means necessary to attain a result few expect you to get. It's another to be the better side, have to take the game to an opponent, and come away with three points.
Not that D.C. can't do it. After last year, however, we just don't know. This is D.C.'s chance to show they can win from the rail.
Key matchup: All eyes will be on Eddie Johnson to see how the snubbed striker responds to his national team exclusion. Who he faces in Montréal's defense will depend on which center backs Frank Klopas presses into action after the Impact's mid-week win against FC Edmonton.
RED, RED, RED, RED … RED, RED, RED, RED
#10 FC Dallas vs. #17 Chivas USA, Saturday, 8:30 p.m. Eastern
Last week: FC Dallas lost 2-1 games at Seattle and San Jose; Chivas USA post a 3-0 win against the Rapids in Colorado
MLS teams are tied for the league leaden red cards (four), and they meet on Saturday in Frisco, Tex.
Dallas will enter the match on a peculiar four-game losing streak, one that leaves us with little idea of how good the Toros are. They lost to D.C. United and Houston while down a man, changed approach and fell in Seattle, then couldn't leverage their own man advantage in San Jose. Along the way, we've learned little about how the team can cope without Mauro Díaz.
Key matchup: Eric Avila, a converted midfielder, continues to grow into a right back, but Fabian Castillo has a way of making even the most experienced fullbacks look foolish.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.— A group of "super heroes" traded in their capes for children's books this week to promote literacy during March is Reading Month.
The heroes were the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives of Vista Charter Academy students. They visited classrooms Tuesday morning to read to children for the school's Super Hero Read-In.
Vista Charter Academy, operated by National Heritage Academies, is a free public charter school serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-- Jacqueline von Edelberg will tell the story of how she and other neighborhood moms galvanized their community to transform a struggling neighborhood school into one of Chicago's best at an event on Thursday, March 12 at Congress Elementary School.
Von Edelberg co-authored the book "How to Walk to School: Blueprint for a Neighborhood School Renaissance," which inspired East Hills Loves Congress and the Congress neighborhood/school initiative.


When I make this using Delicata winter squash, I cut straight through the whole squash, scooping out the seeds but leaving on the edible skin, making "delicata donuts" as the kids call them, instead of wedges.
Preheat the oven to 375′. Cut the squash into 3/8-inch-thick slices and lay them flat, cut-side down, on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender: stick a fork in one wedget to make sure it has softened and is cooked through. If the topping starts to darken too much during cooking, cover loosely with foil.
Mix the sour cream with the dill and some salt and pepper. Serve the wedges warm, sprinkled with the remaining lemon zest, with the sour cream on the side. (We often just eat the wedges without the sauce — still delicious!).

Temperature checks and UV sanitation to be trialed at Heathrow Airport
8:00 AM MYT
Heathrow Airport's thermal imaging cameras. — AFP Relaxnews
London's Heathrow Airport has released a Covid-19 screening strategy that it wants to standardise among global airports; the process includes UV sanitation, thermal imaging and contact-free security checks.
The trio of measures, which will be trialed in the coming weeks, is designed to reduce the risk of contraction or transmission of the virus.
The first trial involves the installation of thermal cameras capable of monitoring the temperature of people moving throughout the airport – a blanket temperature screening system that will be first conducted in the airport's immigration halls.
Pending success, the technology will then be deployed to departures and connections areas.
The thermal imaging system will launch in Terminal 2 over the next two weeks.
The airport is also piloting UV sanitation procedures to sanitise the bins at security checkpoints and contact-free security screening equipment to reduce person-to-person contact.
The new measures were presented to the House of Commons Transport Committee on May 6, as a potential common international standard for airports around the world.
"Aviation is the cornerstone of the UK economy, and to restart the economy, the government needs to help restart aviation," said Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye in a statement.
"The UK has the world's third largest aviation sector offering the platform for the government to take a lead in agreeing a common international standard for aviation health with our main trading partners. This standard is key to minimising transmission of Covid-19 across borders, and the technology we are trialling at Heathrow could be part of the solution." – AFP Relaxnews

The Nokia 8.1 is the successor of the Nokia 7 Plus, one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2018. With his new smartphone, HMD Global is he still the champion of quality / price? Let's see that with our test.
With the Nokia 8.1, the manufacturer HMD Global changes its strategy regarding the name of its smartphones. If previously the number 8 designated its high-end products, such as Nokia 8 and Nokia 9 Sirocco, this is no longer the case. The Nokia 8.1 is a successor to the Nokia 7 Plus, and the brand leaves the place to the Nokia 9 Pureview to be his flagship.
This test was made from a smartphone provided by the brand.
The Nokia 8.1 takes the design introduced by the brand with the Nokia 7.1 a few months earlier. So we find at the front an edge-to-edge screen, with a fairly pronounced notch and chin. At the back, the phone offers a very classic glass back with a double camera slightly emerging, placed above the fingerprint reader. One can also see the Nokia logo in the middle of the back, above the mention Android One. Both sides are connected by a metal frame, with a Type-C USB port underneath, a jack port above, and the volume and ignition buttons on the right edge.
In hand, the phone is a bit massive, while it is smaller and a little lighter than my Pixel 3 XL surmounted by a shell. This feeling probably comes from the glass surface and the rounded corners of the frame that make it all a little too slippery for my taste. Result, I pay more attention, and therefore uses more force to hold my phone. However, this remains very subjective, and none of my colleagues were embarrassed by the handling of the smartphone during a small trial session.
The Nokia 8.1 is still quite pleasant to use: the fingerprint reader falls well under the index, the buttons are well placed and with enough resistance to be nice. The smartphone is in any case a jewel of finishes.
The notch screen of the Nokia 8.1 features a 6.18-inch Full HD + HDR10 panel. The notch is rather prominent, but is very well hidden by the notification bar of the phone. The screen is bright and pleasant to use, but it's quite simple for an IPS display in 2019, especially during a test in winter.
Let's see what the screen gives, once placed under our colorimetric probe. According to our results, the screen displays an excellent maximum brightness of 600 cd / m² and an equally good contrast of 1400: 1. It is thanks to this good contrast ratio that the notch melts as well with the black bar. The screen shoots a little blue, as often on the smartphone, but no more than reason. The average color temperature of 7800K confirms this trend. The sRGB spectrum is here totally exceeded by the screen.
The smartphone does not fully adjust the colors displayed on the screen, but offers several display modes in the settings. With Cinema mode, the screen displays colors that are closer to reality, but this is done to the detriment of the maximum brightness which increases to 212 cd / m² with a contrast of 1280: 1.
Nokia and HMD Global continue to offer so-called Android One smartphones. Here the smartphone runs on Android 9.0 Pie, with the security patch of December 2018. On our test copy, the phone only managed Widevine L3, which can be problematic with HD video playback.
Google apps are all installed by default, and we can especially note that Google Files and Google Pay are involved. Side Nokia, there is an application for the SAV, and some additional settings ("Gestures").
The interface goes to the basics, and could therefore annoy some by its lack of options and features. For example, you can not hide the notch, to display a complete status bar, and therefore more notifications. For other users, an interface that knows how to be forgotten is on the contrary a good thing.
The Nokia 8.1 is equipped with a Snapdragon 710 chip from Qualcomm. This SoC is the first to be placed between Qualcomm's 600 and 800 series. We had already tested it with the Oppo RX17 Pro. It is supported by 4 GB of LPPDDR4x RAM and 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.
This 10-nm chip is composed of a processor with 2 cores Kryo 360 Gold (2.2 GHz) and 6 cores Kryo 360 Silver (1.7 GHz), an Adreno 616 graphics chip and an X15 LTE modem. This allows the Nokia 8.1 to be compatible with the latest Wi-Fi standards (Wi-Fi 5, 802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0.
In use, it gives a very responsive smartphone in common tasks: browsing the web, playing video, etc. We expected no less than an Android One smartphone. Let's see now how the phone is doing with our performance tests, and in game.
As can be seen, compared to a Snapdragon 845, the Nokia 8.1 Snapdragon 710 is doing well for tasks that require mostly processor power, like PCMark 2.0, but much less with tasks that require graphics power like 3DMark.
Good point, the smartphone is compatible with Fortnite. By default the game adjusts the graphics settings to medium and 30 frames per second, aware of the limitations of the device. With these parameters, the game manages to remain stable at what seems to be 30 frames per second, but there are some hiccups from time to time.
On Arena of Valor, the game is set with high details by default, but without the HD display. The IPSE mode is present, and once enabled to reach 60 frames per second. It is with pleasure that I was able to become the MVP of my game at my low level, and promised it was not in confronting AI.
The Nokia 8.1 incorporates two cameras on the back, a first with a sensor of 12 megapixels 1 / 2.55 inches and photosites of 1.4 microns, and the second with a sensor of 13 megapixels. First of all, let's start by pointing out, as we did for the Nokia 7.1 test, that the camera application installed by default is very complete.
It even becomes a little anxiety, so – even with the automatic mode – the application offers many options: flash, stopwatch, beauty mode, stickers, movement and Google Lens. On the other hand, in addition to the automatic mode, there are also: a Legia Pro mode, a live Bokeh mode, and the usual panorama, square, slow motion, fast motion and video modes.
Parenthesis on the application made, return to the snapshots captured by the Nokia 8.1. Let's start with a disappointment, the HDR mode enabled by default knows a little too many failures to be recommended. It happens regularly that elements on the photos appear in duplicate (like the car on the picture taken from a balcony, or a face for the one taken in the street). Another problem, the algorithm fails to correct the sky burned on the picture of windows taken outside.
If you exclude the HDR mode, the Nokia 8.1 camera is doing pretty well during the day. We find a nice dive (on the poster or door Saint-Martin for example), and good color management at the fruit. Too bad that the dynamics are not perfectly managed, what is expected for a smartphone at this price.
Once the sun sets, and in more difficult conditions, there is necessarily a little more digital noise, but the Nokia 8.1 manages to control. The smartphone is doing pretty well on the details (the marking bus, or door Saint-Martin), but the management of lights is again a little disappointing. Lighting and neon lights are easily burned to the point of making them illegible.
The notch yet large enough Nokia 8.1 home a single camera of 20 megapixels. Smartphones that incorporate this kind of notch generally offer either two front sensors, or a 3D or infrared recognition solution. Here we have to be satisfied with this single camera.
The result is also not up to our expectations. The photos obtained are rather correct, but the management of light is once again problematic by day (my forehead is almost burned) and the whole lack of details. The night shot shows the strengths and weaknesses for the dorsal camera: few noises, light problems and details still preserved.
It is thus the software processing of the photos by the smartphone which seems to be withdrawn, more than a problem at the level of the optics or the sensors of the telephone. Hopefully a software update will improve that.
There is only one speaker on the Nokia 8.1 located next to the USB Type-C port, in addition to the speakerphone used for calls. This small element quickly shows its limits as well for watching a movie as for music. We are far from the stereo solutions that are sometimes found in the competition. To broadcast sound, the smartphone can also rely on Bluetooth 5.0 and its 3.5 mm jack. This time, they both do very well.
The capture of sound is more interesting since it uses the Nokia Ozo surround system based on the integration of several microphones on the phone. This system can better capture the sound in noisy environments such as a concert for example. It is less convincing for phone calls. During a test call in a noisy street, my interlocutor complained of a slight saturation in my voice. On the other hand, the sound of the street was correctly, and totally, deleted by the smartphone.
The Nokia 8.1 incorporates a battery of 3500 mAh which places it in the middle high of smartphones, especially with a Full HD LCD screen and a SoC 10 nm that will consume little. This is felt in use since I could easily hold more than one day even with a fairly intensive use of the smartphone including streaming video playback, web browsing and social networking, and some gaming sessions.
These first results are supported by the 11 hours and 45 minutes obtained with our Viser test protocol, which simulates a mixed use of the smartphone. It's a very good score that places it among the most autonomous phones we've tested since the beginning of 2018.
The battery is charged by USB Type-C with an 18W charger. Unfortunately, our test copy was not supplied with its charger. We still did our quick charge test with another 18W charger (the Google Pixel 3 XL). The smartphone goes from 0 to 47% in 30 minutes, and it takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to fully charge (0 to 100%).
The network hang is best done in 4G LTE Cat.6 (300/50 Mb / s). In fact, I had no trouble capturing the 4G, and even a little better in the Paris metro with my Pixel 3 XL. All 4G frequencies used in France are supported by the device.
The GPS chip can connect to the geolocation network quickly and without problems. Similarly the Wi-Fi 5 802.11 ac here is doing its job very well. The Nokia 8.1 also includes the NFC which allows contactless payment, especially with Google Pay.
The Nokia 8.1 comes out January 21 at a suggested price of 399 euros.
Where to buy the Nokia 8.1 at the best price?
The design of the Nokia 8.1 is not crying originality, and yet the smartphone impresses in hand, thanks to the quality of its manufacture. The notch is there and a little wide, but can be forgotten, and the chin under the screen can be a little too wide. Overall, the Nokia 8.1 does not make a faux pas in terms of design.
A screen rather well calibrated, even if the colors are too blue, but above all a brightness and a record contrast for an LCD IPS screen. This allows the slab to very well hide the notch of the smartphone. In addition, the smartphone's settings make it possible to perfectly calibrate the colors, to the detriment of a little brightness and contrast.
Android 9.0 Pie is installed right out of the box, and Nokia smartphones enjoy a good monitoring of security patches. The Android One interface goes to the basics and offers a fluid experience, but lacks a few features.
The Snapdragon 710 allows the Nokia 8.1 to offer a smooth experience and launch the latest fashionable games like Fortnite, even if you have to make concessions on the graphics quality. It should be noted however that we find competitors in Snapdragon 845 for less now.
With its 3,500 mAh battery, the Nokia 8.1 easily holds two days with moderate use, or a big day a little more intensive. The smartphone is charging fast enough by USB Type-C.
The camera is ultimately the most disappointing point of this Nokia 8.1 while the manufacturer has already proven itself with other models like the Nokia 7.1. The photos, whether taken with the device on the back or in front, remain in all cases correct and sufficient for use on social networks. Too bad the proposed HDR and light management are failing.
The Nokia 8.1 is the worthy successor of the Nokia 7 Plus and a nice favorite on the mid-range segment. The device adds the good points like a beautiful bright screen, a premium design, a software update and a very good autonomy.Certes it is not as efficient as a Pocophone F1, a Honor Play or a OnePlus 6 sold less expensive, but it is proof that the Finnish manufacturer has not succumbed to the intoxication of power at the expense of the rest of the technical sheet. The Nokia 8.1 is above all a smartphone very well balanced, without major defects. We will point out especially the quality of the photos that vary between the very good and the average, and this HDR mode that is sometimes a problem.You will understand, the Nokia 8.1 is a smartphone that can be warmly recommended.

Sometimes race is thicker than logic
The fact that a Ferguson or ten Fergusons haven't exploded under this President and his Attorney General is more than amazing. It's a sign that white police officers are no longer vested in the crimes of killing blacks. You can bet your EBT card that the race-baiter-in-chief, Barack Obama and his self-described "activist" AG, Eric Holder are always looking for white-on-black crime.
George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin raised their hopes. Falsely identified as a "white Jew," Zimmerman proved to be a Hispanic, white and just for good measure, part black—whose BFF was black . He wasn't a cop either, just a community watchman.
Making money is easy if you have the ink and paper
The question often arises why Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Eric Holder and the rest of the race-baiters in the Congressional Black Caucus pay little attention to the fact that 91% of blacks—are killed by other blacks. Every weekend, hundreds of shootings kill or cripple blacks in the hood. Most are children.
I'll tell why no attention is paid to the latter.
There ain't no cash in black on black. All of the above really don't give a rat's arse how many blacks are murdered as long as they can find a white racist, preferably a cop who's in the Tea Party, as the perp. Jackpot! Fund-raising explodes—power is maintained—blacks are kept down on the Dem Plantation. Jesse Jackson was rumored to be going door-to-door collecting, while setting up a Dem registration booth very close to where Michael Brown was killed.
In every instance, there are some local playas. Regarding Ferguson, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon made a statement that was a verbal lynching of the white police officer involved in Michael Brown's death, identified as Darren Wilson. I'd like to know what the MO National Guard, Highway Patrol, Sheriffs and the personal bodyguards of the Governor and those who protect the AG and the President think about this verbal assassination.
A week ago, I told my radio audience that while it looked bad for the police officer we needed to wait. Sure enough, lots of information has come out, some verifiable—some not.
Here's what we think we know right now:
Michael Brown had just robbed a store of a package of cigars. When the clerk confronted him Brown pushed the man into a display. When the worker came back at him, Michael, then halfway out the door, turned to face the clerk and walked quickly at him. The man backed off.
The first encounter between Officer Wilson and the boys occurred when they were walking in the middle of a busy street obstructing traffic within minutes of their strong-arm robbery. He pulled up and instructed them to walk on the sidewalk. They refused, saying they were almost at their destination. Cursing was involved.
Wilson pulled up and parked. He got a report of the robbery with a description of Michael and the goods. He backed up to Michael and opened his door. Michael ran toward the vehicle and slammed it shut while punching Officer Wilson. There was a struggle for Darren's gun. A shot went off the vehicle. Later it was reported that Wilson had sustained an orbital blowout fracture of the eye socket. Michael and Dorian ran.
Injured and dazed, Officer Wilson got out of his car with his gun drawn. He ordered Brown and Jackson to freeze. Brown taunted Wilson and said something to the effect of, you really gonna shoot me? As he said this, Michael turned to face Wilson and bum-rushed him. Wilson fired multiple shots at the charging 6'4", 300-pounder, hitting him six times. The fatal shot hit at the top of Michael's head as he was rushing him, killing him immediately.
If this is the case, then it was a legitimate shooting. Sad as it is for the Brown family, justice was carried out. Apparently, Michael Brown picked the wrong guy to bully that day. He didn't quite get the fact that he wasn't impervious to bullets.
For all the naysayers in the race-baiting business, I would pose this question: If the man in the car had been President Obama, how many bullets would a bum-rushing Michael Brown have taken from a much less dazed Secret Service team when Brown got within 35 feet?
Maybe our President will spend a little more time shutting down our border and putting boots on the ground to destroy ISIS.
But I doubt it.
It's still golf season.

But What Makes The HondaJet So Particular?
One frequent state of affairs is that after a homeowner has her or his old windows changed with new ones, she or he will begin noticing excess moisture contained in the house — notably condensation on cold mornings on the inside panes of the brand new window glass. One frequent use of solar technology is out of sight unless you could have access to a powerful telescope. We use the 50th percentile of the marginalized posterior distributions as the best estimated value and the 16th and 84th because the uncertainties. It is obvious that the single Gaussian mannequin fails in fitting the distributions, particularly for the distributions of the tangential velocities. Emcee, which is an implementation of Goodman & Weare's Affine Invariant Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Ensemble sampler, is adopted in the fitting process (Foreman-Mackey et al., 2013). We use 200 walkers and 1000 steps as the burn-in, then adopted by 3000 steps to get the posterior distributions for each bin.
The inclusion of the Sausage-related substructure stars within the fitting process could trigger the higher efficiency of the GMM/Sausage component of Sgr-eliminated halo in the comparability. Nonetheless, we conclude that an in-situ halo element does not add a significant contribution since stars throughout the possible Sausage-related substructures are properly matched by the GMM/Sausage part in the stellar metallicity distribution. The spherical velocities and covariances are recalculated primarily based on the bias-corrected distance. POSTSUBSCRIPT of the SEGUE K big Sgr-eliminated, outer halo is a more reliable outcome because it is far much less influenced by the doable bias of distance estimation than the LAMOST Okay big outer halo. POSTSUBSCRIPT) of Okay giants and BHB stars with the inverted parallax using halo stars from their identified streams. POSTSUBSCRIPT actually corresponds to the the fraction of the stars of the Gaia-Sausage or not in that distance bin. POSTSUBSCRIPT consequence in the outermost distance bin. POSTSUBSCRIPT is added to the gate of the JFET to modify the oscillation frequency. POSTSUBSCRIPT in the outer halo. To achieve this, halo stars are distributed to completely different distance bins. Please note that the bias of the estimated distance of Okay giants decreases with the increasing magnitudes (Yang et al., 2019). Since most of our K giants are at the fainter magnitude, it is very probably that this bias is enlarged within the checking.
Mock information primarily based on the perfect estimated GMM parameters are obtained using the identical methodology as the SGM with two million pretend stars. We then apply the GMM to the LAMOST Okay large Sgr-removed halo pattern, and get the perfect estimated GMM parameters. Because the GMM is composed of a number of Gaussian capabilities, we draw random samples from each Gaussian perform, and then combine them in line with their fractions. Planetesimals, the gravitationally sure seeds of the accretion course of and building blocks of planets, are thought to form in a multi-stage course of with mud first rising to pebble sizes, which may then be concentrated by the streaming instability (Johansen et al., 2014). The streaming instability is a two-fluid mechanism driven by the relative circulate of gasoline. The spherical velocities. Covariances are recalculated based mostly on the bias-corrected distance. 0.9) of the opposite distance bins. Every of the primary three bins include one thousand stars, and the last three bins have 480, 500 and 591 stars. Each of the first 9 bins include one thousand stars, and the last three bins have 455, 500, and 464 stars, respectively.
Gaia-Sausage analogue have giant retrograde motions, and a few of these as effectively have low eccentricity. On the afternoon of April 15, 1989, a father and son watched a metallic, gold-coloured, dumbbell-shaped object, accompanied by 4 smaller discs, maneuvering low in the sky close to their residence in Novato, California. Excavator: designed for activity 2, it was designed to excavate sources beneath the lunar floor with a four levels-of-freedom (DoF) manipulator with a bucket finish-effector. It suggests, particularly, that the dynamical interaction of the Fourier harmonics at degree four constitutes the primary supply of the noticed FT-MLE. POSTSUBSCRIPT of the outermost distance bin, we apply a take a look at related to the gap accuracy. 2014) distances of K giants may be underestimated by 15% on common, but BHB stars show no bias in the distance estimation. 1.0≤ 1.0) is 0.28, and for SDSS BHB stars this distinction is 0.20. Within the work of Koppelman et al. In-situ stars also kind substructures in response to the accretion events.

How free slot games work
Free slot games is an endless, entertaining, and immersive world that takes you into the magical fairy-tale. Are you ready to search for the treasures of the ancient Aztecs? Are you looking forward to romantics and tender words? Interstellar journeys, dwarves, diamonds, and magical palaces. Free slots games are a new-era fairy-tale for grown-ups.
Functional specifics of free slot games
A wide range of useful and entertaining functions is the key feature of free slot games. When opening a slot machine for the first time, you pay attention to its reels. Most free slots games feature five reels. There are some machines with as few as three reels, though.
Moreover, slot games free feature paylines, on which a player bets. If a player lands a winning combination on an active payline, he gets his winnings. The number of palyines in free games slots varies from 3 (rarely) to 50.
Another functional element is a bet per payline. Developers understand that slot games for free are not for everybody, so bets have a pretty wide range from one cent to several dozens of dollars.
Specifics of playing slot games for free
Some casinos allows their clients to play slot games for free and give them a certain amount of virtual money (up to 1000 credits) to practice. This amount is enough to make several dozens of spins, if you are not too generous with your bets.
You can always play free slot games on our website with no limitations whatsoever. When you have run out of credits, you just need to re-load the page.
The best manufacturers of free slots games
The international gambling market is represented by hundreds of large manufacturers of free slot games. Gamblers profit from such a tough competition, because online casinos have free slot games from the world's best brands. The market is dominated by such companies as Novomatic, Igrosoft, Playtech, Betsoft, Net Entertainment, and some other renowned casino software and free slots games developers.
Every producer has created its own individual style. For example, Novomatic specializes in gaminators, while free slot games from Betsoft, Net Entertainment, Playtech and Microgaming traditionally impress with their elaborate functions and flawless 3D graphics.
You should not expect, though, that free games slots do not have a single drawback. But every slot game has its unique features. Try out different slots and make real-money bets. And don't stop believing that one day you may make history as the owner of a one-million-dollar jackpot.
About free slot games
Everyone must have seen (in a movie, at least) the mechanical machines that used to be launched with a lever, which gave them their nickname "one-handed bandits." Today's free slot games are started through pressing a button. Upon throwing several coins into a slot, a player presses the button (or pulls the lever) to set in motion three to five reels that rotate and stop independently. If the combination formed is a winning one, the slot will reward a player with a payout. While in the past only real-money slots were available, now you can play slot games free online absolutely.
A slot game features three to five reels. A player sets the number of reels to play with. The most popular free slots games usually have five reels.
A slot game offers twenty to one hundred symbols. A three-reel free slot game with twenty symbols on each reel features around 8,000 possible combinations, but only 12 of them bring winnings to a player. The probability of landing three identical symbols is 1:7999. A slot with 120 symbols on each reel offers the whopping 1,728, 000 combinations. In this case, the probability of winning is 1:1 727 999.
A player's chances to land a winning combination are totally unpredictable and random. The total amount of winnings is determined by the algorithm used by a slot game.
For many countries, gambling business is a large – or even the main –source of budget revenues. Profits received from Las Vegas slot games allowed to build six state-of-the-art casino hotels, each one costing half a billion of dollars. In 2000 in Nevada, income from slot games replenished the budget with $15 bln. in taxes. In France, slot games had been under a strict ban for a long time. Then the ban was lifted by the right-wing government that came to power. As a result, casino profits increased sixfold over the last several years and reached 6 bln francs, 85% of it coming from slot games. The reason behind such impressive figures is high efficiency of slot games. The state also benefits from huge popularity of slot games. It takes 53% of casino profits. With development of Internet and advanced technologies, gamblers got access to free slot games that require no real money investments.
According to experts in gambling business and casino equipment, in attempt to attract and retain clients, almost all large gaming systems increase pool of winnings to whopping 94% and add extra 4-5% out of their own pocket. The reasons behind such a costly measure are quite simple. Firstly, if a casino starts to offer slots games with 75% payouts instead of 89%, players will switch to casinos with more beneficial offers. Large and serious companies, that invested millions of dollars in gambling business and incorporated hundreds of their casinos into a single network, guarantee high winnings to their clients. Such casinos are easily distinguished by colorful and eye-catching progressive jackpot ads. Moreover, now every player can enjoy playing free slot games in any casino of the world.
Rich casino owners find it inapropriate to cheat their clients. Moreover, reputation in the gambling world is, perhaps, much more important that in any other business.
History of slots games
Liberty Bell, the very first slot game in the world, was invented by Charles Fey in 1895 in his home workshop. The machine featured three disks that were located one behind another and had numbers painted on them. The get the maximum winnings of 5 dollars, a player had to land 4-11-44 combination. Other winning combinations were shown in the paytable. Liberty Bell was installed in one of San Francisco saloons, the owners of which received a half of its payouts. Due to huge success of his first invention, in 1896 Mr. Fey opened his own slot game factory. Nowadays, slots games are available as software games on the screen of your computer or smartphone. Furthermore, you can play free slot games without risking your own money.
Types of free slot games
Modern slot games can be classified into two categories. The first category includes AWP free slots games. The second category is casino slots with such parameters, as performance, cost, duration of gameplay, and ratio of a bet to the maximum winnings. AWP slot games free account for about 60-70% of the total number of all free games slots. In the recent time, this tendency has been changing, though. Casino slots games are becoming increasingly popular. Now you can play various free slot games without even leaving your home.
A large contribution to huge popularity of slot games all over the world was made by the American company YGT that invented the progressive jackpot system. Progressive jackpot system combines thousands of slot games located in different cities and countries via the Internet. Today, such slot games can be found at online casinos as well. By the way, you can play any slot games for free, without risking a cent out of your own pocket.
Can I win at slots games?
It may seem that any slot game is designed to win, while a player is destined to losses and negative emotions. The only exception is free slots games where you can play for virtual coins.
Despite the fact that any free slot game secures its owner or tenant with a steady fixed income, you may come across people who are ready to cheat gamblers in order to get extra profits. They can set a slot in such a way that its payout rate does not exceed 20%. However, there are swindlers among players as well. At the start of wide popularity of slot games, many players tried to outsmart their mechanical rivals by using rather inelegant methods. They drilled a hole in the metallic body of a slot and shoved wires through them, trying to change the position of the mechanism so that it start making payouts. Or by using a metallic rod, they tried to extract coins out of the machine. As you must know, every action always encounters counteraction. Slot game manufacturers invented new methods of protecting their slots from cunning cake eaters. But sometimes there were no obvious signs of interference with the mechanism, and it was extremely difficult to detect the flaw. Despite of that difficulties, slot developers still produced free versions of slot games. Now you can enjoy a wide selection of free slots games that can meet any preferences.
In the forties of the last century, during World War II, an invisible fight for money cost American casinos and its owners $500 mln. Those millions of dollars passed to those whom casinos called swindlers and criminals. Among common people, who have always despised casino owners, those people were nicknamed "temp boys."
Those were multiple independent groups of gamblers that learned how to beat free slot games. Due to great observation skills of swindlers, casino owners could not understand what was going on and fought temp boys blindly, without trying to understand the details.
The great discovery revealed by temp boys was the following. If you manage to pull the lever of a slot in a certain moment, the slot lands the previous combination of symbols. Although pretty simple and alluring, the idea was tough to implement in practice.
As soon as casinos knew how swindlers acted, slot timers were re-set. Now they were launched by another small random number generator , and the launch time varied from several splits of a second to fifteen seconds. Swindlers became powerless. Now, when online casinos conquered the world of gambling, this doubtful method of winning at slot games is not even worth mentioning. If you are not yet ready to spend your own money on gambling, you can try out free slot games.
Nevertheless, players still try to interfere with free slots games. Some experienced players detect bugs and deficiencies in slot software, which helps them win.
In 2000, Big Game magazine published a story about swindle directed at Cherry Bonus slot manufactured by the Japanese company DYNA. The game was successfully played in many countries for a long time. In most free slot games, gameplay is divided into two stages. The first stage is regular game. The second stage is Gamble game. If a player lands a winning combinations during the regular game, he can take a risk and try to increase his winnings during the gamble game. During the gamble round, you can see a row of cards on the screen. You are asked to guess whether the nominal value of the first card is lower or higher than seven. If your guess is correct, you get doubled winnings. Otherwise, you lose your money. Moreover, the card may open itself and double your winnings without the need to take a guess. Nowadays, with free slot games, you can try out the exciting gamble feature without risking your own money.
Cherry Bonus uses 2 distributors: one for the regular game and the other for the gamble game. It's goes without saying that they must interact. But that was not the case.
Hackers started with playing gamble games, which was not difficult. Every time a slot offered a hint, swindlers did not take it. Then the distributor of winnings began to view any player's answer as a correct one. Having secured a guaranteed win during the gamble game, swindlers switched to the regular games at maximum bets. After getting large winnings in the regular game, swindlers entered the gamble game. The distributor had no idea about the course of the regular game and kept losing to a player.
At the same time, against their will, swindlers help manufacturers improve their free slots games. Nowadays, all respected slot manufacturers provide their software with secure multi-level protection. Graphics and software packages that perform different functions are located individually. For example, if a slot features 20 games, be sure that each of them has its individual software. While it's still possible to hack each software package, it has become pretty useless. So if you don't want to risk your own money, you should choose free slot games that offer just the same selection of functions as their real-money counterparts.


whisking warm rain on a gold and green meadow interrupted by bursts of vermillion. a brown body, long haired, naked glides, blurry, glimpsed from the waterfall that is the glass window. it is neither warm nor dark inside. the sunlight is still sleek, gentle through the cracks of the wooden house. there is the cadence of crickets harmonizing with the pitter-patter, and just awoken is a fuzzy child with thin hair, and light. watching, the child senses there is something about that body that is serene, and inviting.
there is only one thing to do. the child removes first her red sweater, and next her white leather shoes. these she leaves on the bed. the stockings she decides to keep. her left knee is still caked with blood and unless the scab is soaked through, to peel the sheers off would be to invite hurting and messiness.
the door gives easily, and the rain though furious sounding, is just a mist, is like the feeling of a face close to a just-popped can of soda. outside smells of earth and water and leaves, and nothing else. the body is already across the field and stepping onto another, and the child, with purpose, follows, but delicate.
the mud yields beneath her feet and cakes around her stockings. the grass is itchy spikes that catch on the silk. as she walks she takes off her skirt. her shirt. discarding these things of her life that do not belong and never did. and when her stockings are gleaming, they come off, too, and sink in the field, a snake skin returning to earth. the knee bleeds a little, but the blood is washed away, mixing with the mud and the flakes of leaves stuck to her legs.
the figure does not stop walking, and the child does not stop following. at the end of the field is a row of trees. the figure passes through these and disappears. the child follows and sees that behind the row of trees and there is a little creek. it is rapid, and overflowing, turning quickly into a full-fledged river. and there the figure is standing, water swirling around its shins.
the child puts feet first in the water and then walks in until the ground gives way and she is sinking, and the water is to her waist, and then suddenly, her chest. she doesn't float or swim. she is nothing but a mass following the laws of physics. a weight, succumbing to gravity. she is under the rapids, tumbling and cartwheeling in the muddy blitz. there is no up or down, no "air" or "land", or "water" just chaos, and what ensues.
and soon, the child is carried off down the creek, the river, to the mouth, to the place where fresh water and sea water meet. first the sea takes her in like it takes in all the logs and bottles and ships, and turns them into driftwood and beach sand and silt. but her body is buoyant in the salt. and she rises, up, above, onto a wave and ebbs and flows like the tide, teasing. death or salvation, water or air. a giant wave. a pounding, crashing muscle of the ocean. she is carried aloft, impossibly high, and there is only the blue sky and the foam, and nothing else. silence.
then a pull, and a rush, and an incredible gushing, of water or blood, and the feel of one's heart like an iron anchor. slam, back onto the shore. after all, it is only a child, and promises have not yet been kept.
she sleeps for a long time, soaked through and through. though the sea laps at her limbs, it has made up its mind and does not intend again to swallow her.
the sinking sun is a rose to her and the child awakens as if it were morn. what is there to do but get up, cry, and afterwards, wander around, away from the sea, until she is found.

Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication*
* Leonardo Da Vinci
Size doesn't matter! 👀
Small or large, the effort we put into each project is the same.
The design language, material and processing are probably the most important factors for a successful product. At the same time, however, industrial production should always be included. Often, it is the details that decide whether a product can be produced industrially or not. Once again: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".
The prototype plays an important role. Thereby, it is not only the visual appearance that is decisive for creative perfection but also the touch and feel. The primal instinct of our ancestors, who could only use touch and smell to decide whether their food was edible, has passed through evolution to us. So, once a prototype passes this test, it will be easier to say YES to it.
We understand material primarily as a tool for non-verbal communication, where relevant quality features such as color, surface, strength, feel, etc. play an important role. To find the best paper for a project, you need a comprehensive overview of what options are available on the market. Therefore, the contact to producers and suppliers seems to us as important as the contact to our customers.
The product form takes on a role in non-verbal communication. Within seconds, it is able to convey an innovative, contemporary, modern or classic appearance to a product. The deciding factor is whether or not we manage to find the language that speaks to the target audience.
We are interested in pushing the limits. In all disciplines. To hit the limits, first you have to go beyond. But this statement is only valid for today. Tomorrow we will ask the same question again.
Everything is constantly in flux and is changing. This fact we see as an opportunity and a challenge, we love it. Let's rock.
"How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top" We absolutely agree with this statement from Yvon Chouinard.
With passion,
with love, with you
To the 🌙 and back
Listening and understanding 💙
In order to achieve a goal efficiently, one must first understand exactly where it lies. That's why the initial stage is all about understanding, which mostly has to do with listening and empathy. You first need to get a grasp of the culture and mentality of the end customer to be able to develop a coherent solution.
Anticipation 🤘
Having listened carefully, we usually know or can guess the direction in which we can find the solution. So, we're already moving in this direction, thinking about concept-production-feasibility before we receive specific instructions for doing so. Wayne Gretzky once said: "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been".
Make it work 🎉
All obstacles, concerns, and uncertainties have to be moved out of the way. This is achieved with a mockup for the touch and feel experience, quick and precise communication, and a creative solution that reflects the culture and mentality of the end customer. The resulting product gives the customer the feeling and the security of having made the right choice.

WASHINGTON: The move to rescind work authorisation to certain categories of H-4 visa holders is in final stages, the Trump administration has told a US court.
H-4 visas are issued to the spouses of H-1B visa holders, a significantly large number of whom are high-skilled professionals from India. The Trump administration is planning to end the Obama-era rule + allowing spouses of H1-B visa holders to work legally in the US, a move that could have a devastating impact on more than 70,000 H-4 visa holders who have work permits.
The proposed rule is currently in final clearance, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told a federal court in a status update.
The Trump administration yesterday told the court that once the proposal is cleared through the DHS, it will be sent to the Office of Management and Budget for review under Executive Order for regulatory and planning review.
As previously represented to the Court, the DHS intends to proceed with publication of this new rule concerning the H-4 visa rule, the DHS said in its court filing.
The previous Obama administration under an executive order in 2015 had started giving work authorisation permits to certain categories of H-4 visa holders, who were mostly spouses of H-1B visa holders.
According to a recent Congressional report, a staggering 93 per cent of the total H-4 visa holders in the US having work authorisation are from India.
The final notification to rescind the work authorisation is expected to be issued in June.

100 days of Buhari a.k.a. 'Baba-go-slow'
By Fredrick Nwabufo
I do not want to be hasty in passing judgment on the administration.
But I pray the Buhari administration proves all doubters, naysayers,
wailers and measured optimists like me wrong.
How do you measure the virility of an administration; its potency to
impregnate the economy, infrastructure and welfare of citizens?
Should it be in the first 100 days of its life; in two or four years?
Well, I will measure in the little steps, in actions and in the
agenda.
100 days may be too short to gauge the failure of a government, but it
is certainly not brief to check for signs of health or of
convalescence. In medical science, symptoms are typically expected to
improve in three days after the administration of medicine.
In 2015, when President Buhari took charge of the country; his 'body
language' was vaunted to be doing much of the governance. In the first
few weeks of the administration, there was appreciable stability in
power supply. This was largely credited to the president's body
language, even at the time there was no cabinet.
Also, the anti-graft agencies rammed up effort in naming 'looters' and
making arrests – in the orthodox Nigerian style of 'eye service'.
There were reports of some civil servants returning their loot as
At the time, there was a prognosis of a healthy economy and claims of
resilient security – the dispatch of Boko Haram insurgents and the
recovery of captured territories. It all appeared to be a good start
for the administration. A new sheriff was in town and his 'body
language' is doing the magic.
Months after the 'spell of body language', Nigeria slid into a
recession; herder-farmer clashes took on a frightening gait; bandits
went on a rampage; Nigeria's minister of power, works and housing was
now dubbed, 'minister of darkness' for chronic power failures with the
national grid collapsing as much as 21 times in a year (2016).
So, if the administration was to be examined by the positive noises in
its first 100 days in 2015, it will have a relatively good score. But
the overall score after a full term of four years is at best, abysmal.
And now that the myth of body language has been busted, what does the
future portend for Nigerians judging by the actions/agenda of the
second Buhari administration in 100 days?
Personally, my optimism is measured. Really, hinging on the Next Level
agenda of the administration, where is the hope? What is different?
What will change?
I spoke with Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, who explained to me
that the Next Level agenda is about consolidation. And then I asked,
'consolidation on what?'
Femi Adesina: 'The Next Level' is a level of consolidation. The agenda
remains the same. The priorities remain the same. Secure the country,
fight corruption, revive the economy, and under reviving the economy,
provide jobs for Nigerians, particularly the young generation.
Under the 'Next Level'; it is a level of jobs, it is a level of power
generation; it is a level of education. The curriculum is going to be
tweaked with emphasis on science and technology. It is a level of
healthcare because it is a healthy citizenry that can compete in the
country and beyond. So it is a level in which there is going to be
empowerment of the different strata of society. There is going to be a
people's money bank to take care of the lower rung of the ladder.
There is going to be an entrepreneurs' bank to take care of people at
the middle rung- SMEs and all that. So these things have been said
over and over and over."Again, I ask, what is different? What is to
come? And is this it? If the agenda is to build on what is not there,
where is the hope? Also, governance appears to be in a slumber – no
motion, no direction.
It is all for the good of the country.

If time or the elements have been cruel to a beloved photo, we can help!
The technology of photography has continually improved since its invention. However, until digital photography came about, there was no easy way to protect your precious memories from the elements. In fact, most photographs end up piled into a box and thrown onto a closet shelf for years. Or even worse, end up in a damp basement or dry, dusty attic.
We also offer photo enhancement services, ranging from simple blemish removal and teeth whitening to more complex manipulation such as removing a person from an image.

How's this for a Saturday morning workout? Temperatures edging on the side of cold (but perfect for minimizing the sweat) plus the Park Hyatt's garden bar area turned fitness floor equals a rooftop workout. Add in Equinox 900 N. Michigan's group fitness manager Jenn Hogg and you get a dose of Barre Burn, a 45-minute sculpting workout that made our body parts burn with and without weights. Or maybe it was just my body, especially my legs, that screamed in pain? It started with the first round of Pilates hundreds and didn't ease up until our final push-up.
No complaints from this Barre Burner. I'm never up early on a Saturday morning (and the few times it does happen, I either crawl back in bed or I nap in the car), but this was exactly what I needed to start off the day. Who can complain when the sun is shining and the breakfast buffeters from The Peninsula across the street are totally watching in wonderment? Yeah, I worked out and you didn't--and my glutes are going to hurt tomorrow. As if they don't already.
