New Movements

New Movements


Today we are going to continue adding more words into our new languege. Our goal is to build control in singular movements and then move them into use - flow work, specificly in our Closed System Flow that will be developing on and on with time, until it will become a monster octopus with many tanticles. Such a flow will enable improvisation on the floor to happen in a beautiful demonstration of freedome of movement, mobility, strength, balance and control over ones body and mind. You can look at it as an advanced form of Yoga, Dance, mobility work, Improvisation, joint preparation, metcon - metabolic conditioning and of course - movement.

Corta Capim Spin



The corta capim spin requires some dynamic (rotational) balance and will be challanging at first.
Start in the squat. Shift the weight towards one foot, transferring into the ball of the foot and letting the knee come lower simultaniously. The other leg, which will become free to move due to the weight shift, will be straightened sideways.
Put your hands on the ground in front of you, between your legs. Start pushing the floor with your hands, rotating your body in its fixed position around the axis foot until you complete a full turn. Shift into the squat again and change sides. Repeat for reps.

The harder variation will be to initiate the push with the hands, and use your hands only to save you in case of loss of balance. Try to do it as late as you can into the movement, until you feel you can complete the full turn with no hands assistance at all.

The hardest variation will be to initiate the movement from the hands and then complete a full turn with no hands touching the floor. Transform into the squat when you finish the full turn and start again to the opposite side. Make sure you do not shortcut here! Complete a full turn and land with the foot on its original spot on the floor.


QDR Circles



The QDR Circles are an advanced movement requiring the control of the Advanced QDR Rotational Push Up.
If you are unable to do it yet, go back to practice the intermidiate and advanced variations of the QDR Rotational Push Ups and come back to this movement once you have done so.

Basicly, from a squat, place you hands in front of you and lower towards the QDR, kick into the low one leg bridge QDR rotational push up position, trying to land as deep as you can into the rotation - almost in the line that originates in between your hands.
From the low one leg bridge position, take the straight leg, bend it and place it behind the bent leg in a cross-step and while making sure the body is lifted a bit higher than the original low bridge position. A side turning of the body needs to happen at the same time.
After cross-step (Look at the side and rear view to better understand that) slide your body from above towards the opposite elbow into a QDR position, while straightening the lower leg and kicking with it out of the position. Come out into a low 4 point stance on hands and feet and enter another QDR to repeat the circle.
Complete the desired number of reps before changing sides.

Take notice of these details:
1. Do not let the body sag into the ground in the low bridge positions - lift your pelvis up and arch your back - to provide room for the cross step to happen.
2. Land softly on the balls of the foot each time before you come to your heels. (if necessary at all)
3. Strong elbow and wrist position should be maintained. No playing around here - keep tension or injury will occur. If you are not able to do so, go work easier variations.
4. The hands do not move during the whole circle exercise - this restriction will create a lot of good adaptations in your body - mobility, stability and strength, because you will have to move your whole body around those two points of contact, in a closed kinetic chain fashion. Moving the hands from their original position will degrade this exercise substantialy.

New Rob Interview with Filmkrant Netherlands

New Rob Interview with Filmkrant Netherlands



imagebam.com imagebam.com


“I always feel rather uncomfortable”
First Cronenberg, Michôd, Herzog, now Corbijn, very soon Gray, Korine and Denis: they all want Robert Pattinson. Why? What is the appeal of this teen idol?

By Kees Driessen

The penny dropped when I watched Cosmopolis (2012). The first time the film by David Cronenberg was disappointing to me. In ‘Vrij Nederland’ [dutch paper] I called him ‘bloodless – painful role for leading actor Robert Pattinson, who after his global success as a vampire in the insignificant Twilight series likes to sink his teeth into more serious material, but as autistic financial genius … he can hardly show a more emotional range [to the audience].

The second time I watched the movie I saw it. Then I understood that casting Pattinson was a great, even brilliant move. The hollow falsity of Cosmopolis is not only the reflection of the virtual financial system that is criticized in the film, but also of its leading character and, partly, its leading actor.

Robert Pattinson (London, 1986) plays in Cosmopolis a stunningly handsome stockbroker with huge financial success at a much too young an age, looking through the windows of his limousine with a detachment as if they were monitors, and fears that his inner self is rotting away (for which he gets daily anal examinations). You can almost call it typecasting, as a vampire with world fame.

Uncomfortable in his own skin

There are more great arthouse directors. David Michôd cast Pattinson in The Rover (not seen in 2014); just as Cronenberg, again, in Maps to the Stars (2014); Herzog, in a supporting role as T.E. Lawrence’s otherwise failed Queen of the Desert (2015); and soon James Gray in The Lost City of Z, Claire Denis in her yet untitled sci-fi movie and – very exciting – Harmony Korine, alongside James Franco, Idris Elba and Al Pacino in The Trap.

And now starring in Anton Corbijn’s Life, as a beginning photographer Dennis Stock, maker of the most famous photographs of James Dean. Where Cronenberg, as usual, in Cosmopolis magnified Pattinson’s character metaphorical and philosophical, the down to earth Corbijn uses [Rob] more realistic but nevertheless similar: as someone who feels uncomfortable in his skin, is keen to get recognition and feels a substantial distance to the world. “He’s an actor who wants to prove himself as an actor who plays a photographer who wants to prove himself as a photographer. Therefore the casting seemed like a great idea,” says a grinning Corbijn in Berlin.

Shy

Pattinson himself too is grinning a lot in Berlin. Many apologetic smiles too – like his character. Pattinson seems extremely nice, but is at the same time strikingly shy for someone of his fame and notoriety. Embarrassed BY his fame.

If he, as an actor often wanders outside his comfort zone? “I have no comfort zone at all haha! I always feel always rather uncomfortable.” He seems to mean it. “But so is my character.” And they {Rob and his character Dennis Stock] have more similarities. Like Stock Pattinson doesn’t like to be photographed. He really doesn’t. He mentions it three times. He feels like it’s making him ‘smaller’, “as if they are something away from you.”

Pattinson describes his character: “What I find fascinating is that he he couldn’t feel anything, not even love, as if he was handicapped.” And “Because he’s so restrained, he feels separated from the world, he lacks the experience of a normal person. That is quite tragic…” And: “I found it interesting that he finds solace in his art.”

Later, about all the media attention on himself: “Sometimes you feel just very separated from everything. That is a little worrisome..” And about acting: “You give quite a lot of yourself away, if you really
Uncomfortable


Is Stock is a mirror of self-portrait? The thought arises. If Pattinson, like Dennis Stock and James Dean, is a tortured soul himself, I do not know. But they share at least this: Pattinson feels an uncomfortable proximity to humans and is – something that’s not easy in the world of film or during a group interview – looking for a real connection.

That’s where there’s a blend in his role as Stock, in his roles for Cronenberg, and to some degree even with TE Lawrence and Twilight’s Edward.

When asked, via James Dean, what charisma is a movie star, Pattinson stumbles over his words a minute and then laughs nervously exclaiming: “I have no idea what the f*ck I’m saying haha!”

I want to make an attempt: charisma is the attraction of someone with a seductive look and an unattainable inner self. And that is Robert Pattinson has.

New Prince of English Design

New Prince of English Design



I was so THRILLED to see the cover of the new House & Garden showing the attic bedroom of Ben’s country house.  


image

Ben?  Come on!!!!  Ben Pentreath, of course!!

image

Pentreath is the architect and interior designer turned shop owner turned blogger turned darling of English design.  He is charmingly British and seems to have quite the Midas Touch.  His fans are legion and loyal and he appears to be friendly and fun.   I only wish I knew him personally.

image

After graduating with a degree in architecture and art history, Pentreath worked for the highly regarded British architect Charles Morris.  He followed this with a move to New York City, where he did a five year stint with Fairfax & Sammons.   Back in London, he teamed up with Prince Charles’ Foundation.  Not too shabby!!  He opened his shop in 2008 with Kiwi designer Bridie Hall and from then on his popularity has grown and grown and grown.

image

His shop’s success is due to Londoners who happen upon its Bloomsbury address and to all the world-wide online shoppers.  His blog, appropriately titled “Inspiration” helped spread the word of Pentreath & Hall. 

image

The shop.   Ben’s chair, Bloomsbury, is a store favorite. 

image

But, Pentreath’s main focus is his Architecture & Interior Design business, where his firm works on both residential and commercial accounts, such as this hotel above. 

image

His interiors are an interesting mix of English Classic design and a youthful turn on midcentury design.

 image

His portfolio is growing quite large, and his social life, which the public follows through his many social media entries, seems very full.  Oh, and there is also his best selling book and a new one coming out.  Yikes!!!!  I’m not sure how he manages it all and seems to do it so beautifully.


Pentreath’s new book – PREORDER by clicking on the picture.

 

Ben’s 2012 book.  Order by clicking on the picture.

 image

And then there are Ben’s clients.  The famous set are said to include Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler, and those are just the ones we know of.   His clientele list is closely guarded.   The Prince and Princess of Cambridge, or Wills & Kate, are said to be clients. 

 image

Apparently Pentreath is head of Wills & Kate’s renovation of their country house Anmer Hall at Sandringham.  There have been lots of rumors, and it’s well accepted that Ben does have this job, although he will never confirm nor deny this – on the record. 

Pentreath’s been called a younger Nicholas Haslam and Robert Kime.  But I don’t agree with either comparison.  Neither Haslam nor Kime used mid century designs in their work, a look that Ben obviously fancies.I first noticed Pentreath when I saw his London apartment:

 image

That wall with the antique map in Pentreath’s apartment!  So perfect!  Besides his apartment in London, Ben and his husband Charlie McCormick have a country house in Dorset which is uber attractive.  (Copies of the map of London seen above HERE.)   

image

The house, built in 1820, is a parsonage – once the home for the clergy from the church next door.  Ben had known about the house since he was a young boy and when he found it was available for rent – he decided to move in with a 10 year lease.  The house needed repairs and Ben has done them, but not going overboard.  He is keeping in mind it is a rental. 

 image

Pentreath has spent much time developing the landscape and gardens, especially on this side of the house.  Here, you can see its two large bay windows that look out onto the church.

Pentreath’s instagram is a personal favorite and is much loved by his many fans.  His photos of the Old Parsonage, as his country house is named, are particularly alluring – and I love to watch how he updates the parsonage and all the changes he makes.So, it was especially exciting to see his house on the cover of the new House & Garden and to compare how it looks today with how it once looked when he first moved in.    I pulled some of his “Before” pictures of the house to compare it to the way it looks in the magazine. 

Entry Hall:

image

House & Garden:  The entry has a stone flag floor which is so typical of English country houses.  Ben put in the wallpaper a few years ago.   The door with the arched transom leads to the living room.

image

Here’s a view looking the opposite way into the kitchen.  You can see the stairs with its red and white runner here.

 image

Before:  And this view – straight from the front door that looks into the dining room.  Pentreath took this photo right after he had painted the dining room deep purple and was still hanging paintings.

 image

Today:  And finally – the view from the front door looking to the dining room with its now painted blue walls.  Wellies and canes stand ready for the many country walks Ben and Charlie take.

 image

And, in the entry hall, to the left of the front door is the powder room – with its encaustic tiled floor.  Pentreath hung a collection of prints here – the room is painted Farrow & Ball’s Wet Sand, just like the kitchen (was.)


Living Room:

image

House & Gardens:   The living room.  The star of the room is the paint color.  Ben says that when he first moved in, he painted all the walls in the house a quiet gray.  But eventually he grew bored of this color and in here, the walls are now an English pink, custom made for Ben by Papers and Paint.  The color is now in their line and is called Parsonage Pink.   At the window are curtains made of ticking fabric.

 image

The yellow sofa is another star of the room – the Katzsic Sofa from Max Rollitt.  Covering the ottoman is a needlepoint by Schumacher (which is a personal favorite.)  Behind the sofa is a piano.   The small black chair is from Pentreath’s shop. The prints on the back wall have changed throughout the years and today there are ferns there.   You can really see the beautiful pink color of the walls here.

 image

House & Gardens:  this shows the prints have been changed and are now part of a collection of ferns which also hang in his London apartment.

 image

A photo of the piano behind the sofa and a view of the ferns.

 image

Today:  the view towards the bay window which overlooks the church.  The two bay windows were added some time after the parsonage was first built in 1820.

 image

Before:    Before the room was painted pink – it was gray, although in this photo it looks a bit green.

 image

Before:  And another very early photo of the gray walls which shows the table behind the sofa and here, Ben had hung a map on the wall, which I love.  You can see the rug layered over the seagrass, another very English look.  These are Ikat lampshades which he sells in the shop.  Today he has marbleized paper shades here, which he also sells.

 image

Before:  Another much earlier view of the gray walls – the difference is stunning.  The pink walls of today look beyond fabulous and this is from someone who loves gray.  Hmmm…

 image

Before:  Finally, Ben moved to the Old Parsonage in 2009 – before he was dating Charlie.  This photo shows a very, very early version of the living room – without the fabulous mirror on the mantel, the ottoman/coffee table, and the piles of pillows.  It’s interesting to see how far the room has come – from a quiet gray space to the warm, cluttered-filled pink living room:

 image

House & Garden:   Today!  Love!!!

New Springcache Plugin Version

New Springcache Plugin Version


After saying it might take me a while I got stuck in and rewrote the Springcache plugin from scratch. The new version is up now. The plugin now requires Grails 1.2.0-M3 or greater as its reliant on Spring 3.0.

The plugin allows you to declare caching and flushing behaviour on service methods (well, any Spring bean methods, but services are typical) using @Cacheable and @CacheFlush annotations. This is really useful for service methods that perform long-running or expensive tasks such as retrieving data from web services, network resources, etc. The plugin is less appropriate for service methods that retrieve data using GORM/Hibernate as you could just use the 2nd level cache, although theres nothing stopping you doing so if it makes sense in your domain.

The documentation and source code are in the usual places. Heres a quick summary of the changes and new features:

  • No longer depends on the (discontinued and non-Spring 3 compatible) spring-modules-cache library.
  • No more mapcache, the plugin now uses ehcache by default.
  • Only ehcache is supported directly but its really easy to implement an adapter for other caching libraries if you need to.
  • Slightly simplified configuration. Some minor tweaks will be needed if youre upgrading from an earlier version of the plugin.
  • Bean names are now prefixed with "springcache" so theyre much less likely to clash with other things in your Spring context.

There has been some interest in some new features such as a taglib for caching chunks of views which I may start looking at shortly.

Next Time Someone Argues For Trickle Down Economics Show Them This

Next Time Someone Argues For Trickle Down Economics Show Them This


In her Huffington Post article, Kathleen Miles suggests that the "Next Time Someone Argues For Trickle-Down Economics, Show Them This."

February 6, 2014

Conservatives like to say that "a rising tide lifts all boats." In other words, if an executive makes $20 million a year, his income will eventually trickle down into the rest of the economy and ultimately benefit poor people.

But that theory hasnt exactly proven true. The highest-earning 20 percent of Americans have been making more and more over the past 40 years. Yet no other boats have risen; in fact, theyre sinking. Over the same 40 years, the lowest-earning 60 percent of Americans have been making less and less.

Imagine the lines below as tides. As you can see, one is rising, while the others are falling (and one is stagnant):

The chart comes from the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequalitys recently released 2014 report. The researchers looked at rising poverty and inequality in the U.S., particularly since the 2007-2008 recession.

Other studies have shown a correlation between bigger tax cuts for the 1 percent and income inequality. In the U.S., the top earners have made more money in the last 60 years as the top marginal tax rate has been slashed and as the rising dominance of Wall Street has allowed a few to make enormous profits.

An OECD study in 2013 found that the U.S. had the highest income inequality in the developed world. Out of all nations, only Chile, Mexico and Turkey had higher levels of income inequality, according to the study.

So what does this all mean in actual dollars? It means that more than half of U.S. wage earners made less than $30,000 in 2012, which is not far above the $27,010 federal poverty line for a family of five. Meanwhile, the top 10 percent of earners took more than half of the countrys total income in 2012.

In other words, a rising tide has lifted a few big boats and washed the rest aside.
