I have a fetish for ties, it is no secret. I love to buy ties, and tie ties. This is a fancy knot called the Eldredge which I learned a few years ago. Anytime I wear it people notice, and they ask me how I did it. This is my answer. If you choose to incorporate this tie please give
V Push Ups (with clenched fists) - Fitness exercises.
"V Push Ups" are a real challenge, as you need to maintain a V position during the entire exercise, which also makes it an excellent exercise for your shoulders and legs.
We recommend you try to simply hold a V position several times before attempting the complete exercise.
Precautions: if you feel you might collapse during the exercise, try placing a cushion between your hands so as to prevent hitting your chin.
Instructions:
1- Form a reverse V with your body, keeping your legs stretched out and arms in line with your torso.
Clench your hands into a fist to provide a stable support point without placing undue stress on your wrists.
2- Shift your body weight forward while maintaining the V position, and fold your arms by extending the elbows slightly outwards.
3- Lift with your arms and, contracting your pectoral muscles, return to the start position.

How to Decorate a Living Room - Home Décor - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats.
Hi, my name is Hilary Unger from Perianth Interior Design in New York, and today I am here to talk with you about living rooms and how to plan your living room. I just want to give you a couple of tips on where to start. The first thing you should think about is what function you want to have in your living room. Do you want to have a play space for your children? Do you want to watch TV? Are you going to be entertaining a lot with guests, and so on. So, those are the things that you should consider. Also, if you want to have a workspace in your living room, and so on. So, once you know what functions you have, then you can think about what furniture you need and where to place it. Sometimes it is very obvious that you should place the sofa, which is typically the main piece of furniture in most living rooms. And do not feel bad that you are not doing something really, you know, crazy or outlandish. Sometimes it is just obvious, so you do not want to recreate the wheel. So, you put the sofa in the most obvious and comfortable place for you. Then you create the room around that.
This is an example of a living room that has some traditional elements to it. There is a built-in bookcase. You need to think about, also, do you have a lot of books that you need to store and display? Do you have artwork? Do you have decorative elements that you need to put out? So, that would determine whether or not you need to have bookcases in the living room. In this living room there is a lot of pop color and it creates a very warm and inviting feeling to it. You have to determine if you like a lot of colors or you like muted natural colors. So, think about those things when you are designing.
This is the other side of that living room. Here is a sofa that has two tones to it. The body is upholstered in one fabric, and the cushions are upholstered in another. It is not a standard type of configuration. You may be able to find it at your local furniture store or be able to specify it. If you work with a designer, you definitely could have that look if you like it, or you can even talk to your local furniture store about creating that. What that does is it just gives interest to a large piece in the room, just creates a little more dimension. It is just making it a little more custom to you, so when people walk into your home, it feels more custom and, "Oh. What did you do here? What did you do there?" Our living rooms are for living, and we spend a lot of time in them, and you really need to be comfortable in your space. It is amazing how our environment really affects us. So, consider what look you want. If you want it to be more dark and den-like, library-like, or if you want it to be very light and airy.
Some people want to create more of a theme. This has kind of a Caribbean element to it. There is glass cloth on the walls, beautiful, rich velvet, chocolate velvet sofas, antique wooden coffee table. This creates a feeling. So, when you are thinking about planning your living room, look in magazines, look in books, and see what different pictures invoke different feelings for you. And, the ones that you like, you should study those pictures a little bit more and see what about it you like. And bring those elements into it, whether it is a pink color, whether it is a wood material, whether it is a fabric, or a style of a furniture.
This is another living room. This is really a small space. So, depending on where you live, you can incorporate different concepts in your living room. An interesting feature in this room is that there are these little ghost chairs, which you can just buy on the internet. Lucite ghost chairs, you can search around. Since it is a small space, there is a lot of furniture in here, so putting another chair would have made it feel more cluttered. You can always use Lucite to make it disappear, so it is still there, but it gives it more space. So, that is a very effective tool. Also, again, in here, just when thinking about materials, this is a pop color, this orange color on the chair. So, if you took that away, it is still a beautiful space, but maybe it is a little boring and not as interesting as if you have a pop color. When you are looking at your fabrics, whether you are in the store, whether you are working with a decorator, think about having your base colors and then being able to have a pop color with it. It makes your space much more interesting. So, I hope those are very helpful tips for you.
Arguably the hottest Android smartphone of 2012, the Samsung Galaxy S III, goes toe to toe with one of the hottest gadget from CES, the Xperia Z by Sony.
Although approaching 10-months-old, the Galaxy S III still features what many would consider high-end specifications: 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos chip (or 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 in U.S. variants), 8-megapixel camera, between 16 and 64GB of built-in storage, 1GB RAM (2GB for U.S. models) and a 2,100mAh battery. The Xperia Z, however, offers bleeding edge technology in the form of a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, 5-inch 1080p display, 13.1-megapixel camera, 2GB RAM, 16GB built-in storage and a 2,330mAh battery.
The true differences come down to design, build quality and software features. Which one comes out on top?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has once again been the major headline grabber during the
first week of March and this is very obvious considering that the device is
expected to launch very soon. We have already told you that the presentation
date is expected to be March 14 during the Samsung
Unpacked in New York. This does not, however, directly tell us when the
Galaxy S4 official release date will be set, but we are hopping that this will
be revealed to us very soon. In the meantime, Samsung officials haven't given us
much food for thought other than a few teasers here and there. This article will
therefor focus on the latest set of rumors which involve the Galaxy S4's specs
and features. Ready to get started?
The photo above obviously isn't anything
official and it just presents us with some expected features. The full HD Super
AMOLED screen is something that we have discussed already in the past and as you
may remember we can safely assume that the device will have a 4.99
inch display with full HD technology. The news about the storage and the
camera aren't exactly new either, and the story about the Jelly Bean 4.2
Operating System is quite standard since we can expect only the latest from this
device.
Those of you who might have hopped or feared
that the Galaxy S4 will feature the Tizen OS have no more reason to think about
it. Apart from the many reasons that I listed in a previous post which explains
that the Galaxy
S4 with Tizen OS is impossible, there is a new one to consider. What is it?
Well, Tizen OS isn't ready for a smartphone yet, and it certainly won't be ready
by March 14 for the conference in New York.
Early Galaxy S4
Benchmarks
As expected, a lot of reports are coming in
where people are claiming that they have done early benchmarks using some Galaxy
S4 prototypes that Samsung gave them to test. Of course, this isn't what
everyone is saying, but it sounds quite similar. Either way, it isn't much more
reliable than the Gmalaxy
S4 AnTuTu benchark from last month, but it will do for now since there is a
lot of interesting details that we can take from the photos.
Here is one such benchmark:
Now, many of you may be annoyed that not all
of the text is in English and I feel your pain. However, you can see all the
major stuff from the graph and the numbers on the side. It is interesting to
note how much the Galaxy S4 has scored on the first picture and it would be
really nice if the actual device provides us with such performance.
What are your expectations from the Samsung
Galaxy S4? Any ideas to share? Leave them in the comments!
The Galaxy S4 will be announced on March 14 which is only a week away, and the
rumors are spreading more rapidly than before! Yesterday we gave you a nice rumor
update which focused on what we know about the specs/hardware. Today, we
will dedicate this post to talking about some interesting features that Samsung
is working on. Namely, the rumors suggest that eye-tracking will now be a
feature in the new Samsung Galaxy S smartphone. But what does this exactly mean
and is there any proof to support this story?
Take a look at the following screenshot:
Now, it is hard to say if this screenshot is
real or not, but it does bring in some interesting debate. As you can see the
Galaxy S4 is supposed to be very 'smart' with features such as Smart stay, Smart
rotation, Smart pause and Smart scroll. You can read the description of each on
the photo above and as you can clearly see all of them are based on head or eye
tracking which is really cool. However, is this an actual feature - an
innovation - or just a marketing gimmick, is the question that a lot of people
will be asking once the device is released.
One thing does bother me on the above
screenshot however, and I am not sure how many people have noticed it -
TouchWiz hasn't changed one bit! Most people won't care, and I don't either to
be honest, but I was expecting more fresh style on Samsung's end.
....Now, moving on! Let us look at another
'leak'! This time we have a screenshot of the Galaxy S4 which looks quite
promising and very elegant. There isn't much commentary following this pic, so
just take it for what it is dear readers.
Do you have any leaks or info? Share it with us
via the comments section?
Today's rumor isn't directly related to just
the Galaxy S4 smartphone directly, but it does certainly involve Samsung's
future flagship. You see, it seems that Samsung and Visa have struck a great
deal which will allow users to make credit card payments via near field
communication (NFC). This will be a feature that will work on all future,
next-generation Samsung devices that have NFC chips. Neither Visa nor Samsung
mention what will be considered a "next generation" device, but it is
safe to assume that devices such as the Galaxy S IV and the Galaxy Note III fall
into this category.
Making things
simple!
The agreement between the two company's gives
Samsung access to Visa's PayWave system. This is a system that is
very similar to Google Wallet. The basic concept is that you can input your
credit card information on your phone and then just pay for stuff by tapping
your phone on a special pad at the store. Quite a handy feature isn't it?
Honestly, I dream of seeing the end of physical currency and somehow I vision a
day when mankind will have a common currency and be able to pay for everything
virtually. I see this as a good step in that direction!
Get ready
folks!
But enough about my silly ideas, let us focus
on what this agreement means for Samsung's Galaxy S4. As you can already
imagine, this is good marketing potential and it clearly gives the consumer the
knowledge that this a premium device. However, it is unclear whether or not all
the Galaxy S4 models in the USA will have this feature. The main problem is that
AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile have their own payment system called ISIS which
works in a similar way, and their devices block other apps that try to do the
same thing. A good example of this is the Google Wallet app.
So, what do I think about the whole Galaxy S4
Visa PayWave idea? I find it brilliant as you can tell, but I would not call it
the pride and joy of the device. However, this feature will, along with many
other software and hardware innovations that Samsung is expected to release,
certainly make the smartphone look much more attractive and, in the end, it is
always the little things that get us! After all, people are already going crazy
over the Galaxy S IV eye-tracking concept!
The Galaxy S4 will be presented on March 14 and we are all excited
to see what Samsung has been working on for the past months. This website has
covered a fair share of leaks, rumors, official news and many other details, yet
this is actually the first article where we will try to discus the Galaxy S4
price concept to see how much this smartphone might cost. Keep in mind that this
is a premium, high-end device and thus you can be sure that it will be quite
expensive. But how expensive? As expensive as the S III model or as expensive as
the new iPhone? Well, I obviously can't tell you, but let us look at the problem
from different sides and see what professionals in the industry seem to
think.
An article on Expert Review says that
the price will not be higher than £499 upon release which is the price that the
Galaxy S3 has when it was first released. It is believed that the Galaxy S4
price might be a bit lower since there are quite a few phones out there that are
giving it a nice for its money. These competitors are phones such as the new HTC
One, the LG Google Nexus 4 and the stunning Sony Xperia Z. For those of you in
the USA, this a price that is approximately $745 which is quite a lot.
Oh, and in case you are from the EU, then that's around 570 euros.
If you are, however, looking to get this
device via a contract with one of your local carriers then you can expect to pay
between £30-40. This is between 35-45 euros or $40-60. If you plan on using a
service with 4G/LTE then you can expect the costs to be much higher. Some might
find this a great offer, other people will say that this is just too much, but
these are personal issues and opinions that this blog will not focus on for the
time being.
Of course, it is also possible for Galaxy S4
to cost a lot more and a lot less than this and we cannot be 100% sure due to
obvious reasons. However, I personally highly doubt that this device will be
more expensive than the Galaxy S3 and I wouldn't be surprised if it were a
little bit less expensive, especially in some regions that Samsung will try to
take-over with their new line-up.
So, the question for today dear readership is:
how much would you pay for the new Galaxy S4? What do you think is a reasonable
price? Judging by the early benchmark specs it will be an amazing device
folks!
As you have already heard dear readership from other news sources and blogs, the
Samsung Galaxy S4 has been presented at the Samsung Unpacked in New York
yesterday! Of course, the device is not yet ready to hit the stores and we can
expect it to begin shipping by the end of April. It is very possible that
retailers will begin accepting preorders soon and local carriers are already
arranging everything. But what about the phone itself?
What are people who were at the event saying about Samsung's latest flagship?
Well, it seems that opinions are split - some are loving the new phone, while
others say that it wasn't such a huge step from the S3.

Dimensions: 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
