Also sometimes referred to as "critical timing".

The idea behind the rolling count is that between the beats (1-2-3-4...) we can imagine smaller "subcounts" that are typically called "and" and "ah", and associate certain actions with them (see below).

The counting then becomes 1-and-ah-2-and-ah-3-and-ah-4...

The exact timing of "and" and "ah" depends on the music...

Resisted release refers maintaining tension while extending or compressing the arm (eccentric contraction of the arm muscles).

Are they washable 

Other Taygra models (e.g. Corrida) boast being machine-washable, the Urbano didn't seem to like being washed as much (it seems there is a paper involved in construction somewhere, & I found chunks of paper falling out of them after washing them). They didn't fall apart, but clearly some structure within them didn't survive being washed.

  • Don't cancel, because it'll no longer go back to the block and the rate will be lost
  • Instead add new person to reservation, then have them switch the billing info to theirs through that same reservation management page, I think (y'all will have to figure out what way makes you most comfortable to do that)
  • Remove yourself from reservation

  • Why: I've been told the hotel "doesn't like it" when you try to go through them to switch the reservation, hence this quiet way of doing it.
