ready to quit Facebook?
Another new Facebook news feed redesign is on the way. That should drive a few more millions away.
They want to make new video ads less objectionable to readers.
Facebook is losing its grip on kids, according to a recent article by CNET’s Jennifer Van Grove, in which she cites complicated features and too much parental control.
Especially with teenage boys.
Where are they going?
The hottest new social media app is Pheed.
Personally, I like Facebook. And might pay for an ad-free version.

Trampoline – what I really do
Balandin skills on Rings
UPDATE
Balandin 1 is hang vertical pull up with straight arms to swallow (Maltese) 2sec
Balandin 2 is hang vertical pull up with straight arms to inverted cross 2sec
Both are E-parts. Both are awesome.
Is this Balandin 3?

Let’s see what Aleksandr Balandin competed last week at Russian Championships.

Balandin 2
Oops. My mistake. That was from a competition in the LAST code.
Click PLAY or watch his most recent routine on YouTube.
He used what I assume will be called the Balandin 3.
He ended up finishing only 5th on Rings. Due to the fall on dismount.
That first routine was posted on a site new to me — Videos of Russian Gymnasts – Aleksandr Balandin page.
Ws van Wijk caught my error. And linked to the correct routine from Russian Championships. THANKS.
