You've probably seen professional athletes and fitness experts perform a push up flawlessly, and envied how they execute this move with such precision and finesse. In this guide, you will learn about the proper way to perform push ups, what muscles are used in this exercise and how many push ups you can do in a day. It's never too late to increase your knowledge about exercise and achieve your fitness goals.
If you have always wondered how to do a push up, follow these instructions on standard push up form:
1. Get on your knees, and place your hands shoulder width apart on the floor. Flatten your palms and point your fingers forward.
2. Rise on your toes. Keep your elbows straight and not locked. Your knees, hips, back and shoulders should be straight as well.
3. Bend your elbows until your chest is an inch or so from the ground. Make sure your head is in a neutral position, chin tucked in. Look no more than 6 inches in front of your body.
4. Straighten your elbows and push your body back into starting position. Your knees, hips and back must be aligned and straight.
"A [push up] is an anaerobic exercise that is a body-weight movement. It is performed in the prone (chest down) position with elbows bent at 90 degrees, using the arms to lower and raise your torso. The gravity and resistance that your body provides during this exercise creates functional and overall strength. … [Push ups] can be considered a 'moving plank' since the core is utilized for strength just as much as the upper body is during performance."1
Push ups can be challenging, especially for beginners. However, once you learn how to do push ups the right way, you can do more reps and boost strength and endurance.
Numerous muscles are used in push ups, which is why they can deliver a number of health benefits. Several muscles are often utilized when you do push ups, which play a big role in optimal body support and movement, including:2
Pectorals (chest)
Triceps and biceps (arms)
Deltoid (shoulder)
Serratus anterior (ribs)
Rectus abdominis or abs
Apart from knowing the muscles that push ups target, you must also learn how to place them in the correct position in order to prevent injuries and hamper your form. For more information, read "Are You Doing Push Ups Correctly?"
Apart from challenging strength, stability, endurance and power,3 the advantages of push ups include:
• Serve as a full-body workout — Push ups may help promote increased abdominal and back muscle strength, and decreased osteoporosis and fracture risk. This is because the move applies stress on the wrists and long bones in your upper arms. Furthermore, push ups may promote better body muscle balance since you can have free range of motion while doing this move.
• Can be performed anywhere and anytime — Most varieties of push ups require no equipment and can be done anywhere, such as your house or even your office.
• Can be tailored to your fitness level — You can tweak and determine how many push ups a day you are able to do. Don't worry if you aren't able to do many push ups at first. You can start by doing a few reps, and then gradually increase them once you feel stronger.
You'll know you're performing this type of exercise correctly if your upper body, lower body and torso are moving in a cohesive manner.4 Take note, however, that a "perfect" push up workout begins by ensuring you maintain proper form. Only then can you intensify workouts or challenge yourself with difficult variations. Pay attention to these body parts in particular:
• Fingers — Your fingers must be spaced wide enough to allow your lower arms to work more and gain strength for better movement.
• Elbows — They should bend at around 45 degrees. Position them right above your wrists and remain near your body as you push up and down to provide more leverage. Avoid putting them out at 90-degree angles or letting them move past your wrists because this may cause injuries.5
• Shoulders — Pull shoulder blades and shoulders downward to firmly plant hands and elbows on the surface, and aid in targeting back muscles. Don't tense your shoulders and move them upward to your ears.
• Back — Straighten your back to help reduce lower back pain risk. First, tighten quadriceps muscles to help straighten your legs from feet to hips, buttocks and abdominal muscles. After contracting these muscles and ensuring that hands are in place, move your body away from the ground.6
If lower back stress or tension due to a deeper lumbar curve occurs, address this by pushing the hips forward as you squeeze the buttocks. This will prevent further back pain.
If you want to know how to improve your push ups and take them to another level, Men's Health provides some tips:7
Grab and try to "rip" the floor. Drive your palms downward and, in a simultaneous motion, twist as if trying to tear the floor between them apart. The biceps and elbows should rotate in such a way that they face forward.
Imagine doing a push up as if there is a business card stuck in your armpit. This will encourage lat muscle activation, help with movement and promote upper body stability.
When your upper body is in the correct position, draw your palms toward your toes by compressing your core.
Have both ankles reach each other and your feet close together. Think of it as if you're attempting to crack a nut between your ankles.
Squeeze your glutes tightly when pushing up to rotate your hips in the correct position and take away stress from your spine.
Move your body as one strong unit. Engage and tighten your muscles, not allowing them to relax.
There are also other ways you can enhance your form and execute a proper push up. Check out "Push-Ups: The Simple Exercise That Can Banish Your Bulging Belly" for more information.
Proper push up form is important in your success, but sometimes mistakes are inevitable. Greatist highlights some errors and how to address them:8
Sagging or arching of your lower back — Pay attention to your glutes and legs, and try to squeeze them, especially the former, while working out. This will avoid arching or sagging of the lower back.
Move the chest toward the ground first and ensure your hips are aligned with your shoulders. Don't let your hips flop to the floor.
Arm flaring — Hold elbows closer to your body, at a 20- to 40-degree angle toward your torso. Most people mistakenly position their elbows outward at a 90-degree angle, forming a "T" — this puts strain on your shoulders.
Improper breathing — Don't hold your breath when doing push ups. Inhale as you near the ground and exhale once you push back up.
Focusing on the number of reps and not the quality of the movement — Doing push ups improperly may reduce their effectiveness and impact fewer muscles.
Ensuring that each movement has a full range of motion is a must: Make your chest reach the floor as closely as possible, and then extend the elbows fully when moving up.
Lowering forehead to the ground — This is often done by people who don't have enough strength to push their chest toward the ground or surface, thereby increasing their risk of a painful neck strain.
When doing a push up, ensure that your neck is in a neutral position by staring stare at a specific spot on the floor a few feet away.
Keeping your head in a neutral position that's not too close to the floor may help reduce neck pain risk. Should your neck still feel weird, do push ups on your knees until your form improves.
Failing to stack wrists — If you don't position wrists directly under your shoulders, this negatively affects your form.
Before doing a push up, move the body slightly forward and check that the shoulders are right above your wrists.
To learn how to increase the amount of reps you perform, determine your limits first, specifically by counting how many you can do. Adam Bornstein, bestselling author and CEO of Born Fitness, tabulated the average number of push ups his online coaching clients are able to perform (for women, scores may be five to 10 push ups lower compared to these numbers):
• Below average — Less than 15 push ups
• Average — 20 push ups
• Good — 30 to 35 push ups
• Excellent — 40 to 45 push ups
• Extraordinary — Anything more than 50 push ups
Bornstein also suggests a protocol for improving your routine. Each routine involves performing each push up as quickly as possible. After doing all the workouts, take a five-day rest and assess your "score" by performing as many repetitions as you can in one minute:9
• Week 1 (two workouts) — Do 10 sets of eight reps and rest for two minutes between sets. If you aren't able to perform eight push ups, rest accordingly.
• Week 2 (two workouts) — Do eight sets of 10 reps and allot a minute of rest between sets.
• Week 3 (two workouts) — Do six sets of 15 reps and allot a minute of rest between sets.
• Week 4 (two workouts) — Do four sets of 20 reps and allot two minutes of rest between sets.
There are different push ups that you can incorporate in your workout routine, if you want to deviate from the standard push up. Here are examples of modified push ups you can challenge yourself with:
• Incline push ups — If you want to focus on improving chest and abdominal core muscle strength, an incline push up may help. This involves placing your hands on a stable chair or bench and planting your feet on the floor:10
1. Get into standard push up position and place your hands, which must be shoulder width apart, on an elevated surface, chair or bench. Ensure that your elbows remain in place.
2. With a straight body, move your chest toward the surface or bench.
3. Pause, and while engaging your core muscles, move back into starting position.
• Decline push ups — This has the same goal as an incline push up, although this time, your feet are propped up on a bench or stable chair, while your hands are on the floor:11
1. Get into standard push up position, and place your feet on an elevated surface. Place your hands, which must be shoulder width apart, on the floor, and tuck elbows into place.
2. Move your chest toward the floor, while keeping your body in a straight position.
3. Pause, and while engaging core muscles, move back into starting position.
• Tricep push ups — You may target your chest, core and triceps12 with this move:13
1. Lie down on your stomach. Keep your legs together and direct your hands forward, holding them close to your body, right under your chest.
2. Straighten your elbows and tuck them into place. Once your body is aligned in a straight line, use your knees or toes as a pivot point to push up from the ground.
3. Return to starting position without your stomach touching the ground.
• Close grip push ups — According to Muscle and Strength magazine, these push ups mainly work out your triceps, and can be done by beginners too:14
1. Place your palms on the floor and allow your thumbs to touch each other.
2. Extend your legs backward, straighten your body and ensure that only your toes are hitting the floor.
3. Bend slightly at the elbows to maintain tension in the triceps.
4. Slowly lower yourself as far as you can without touching the floor. While doing this move, straighten your body.
5. Pause, and without locking the elbows out, move upward to the starting position.
Consider these three more advanced types of push ups:
• Plyometric push ups — Start in the standard push up position. When your sternum reaches the ground, hold the position, breathe for around three seconds and do a sudden push upward.
• Diamond push ups — Put your hands together under your chest, with the thumb and index fingers forming a diamond shape once in the standard push up position.15
• Weighted push ups — Perform 30 reps of the standard push up to help prevent bad form or poor posture. Then place a weight plate, sandbag or weight vest that's around 10 percent of your total body weight on your back and perform more push ups. Once you're ready, you can add more items or weights that are 5 to 10 percent more than your current threshold.16
There are other different types of push ups you can incorporate into your routine, provided that you sustain correct form. Before doing so, however, learn how the move should be done properly and perform it under the watchful eye of a trainer or coach (especially if you're doing it for the first time):17,18,19,20,21
Clap push ups
Handstand push ups
Pike push ups
Dive bomber push ups
Fingertip push ups
Shoulder push ups
Hand release push ups
Knuckle push ups
Plyo push ups
Planche push ups
Archer push ups
Triangle push ups
TRX push ups22
Reverse push ups
Military push ups
Wide push ups
Scapular push ups23
Elevated push ups
Hindu push ups
Superman push ups24
Spiderman push ups or spider push ups
Dumbbells push ups
To determine how many push ups per day you should do, be mindful of your current fitness level. A way to check this is by knowing if your core is strong enough to keep your back straight. Doing a one-minute plank may help you with this, and help you identify if you can do push ups properly, along with how many you can do. It's very important to maintain proper form before increasing the number of reps in your routine.
However, some people may find out that when it comes to their core and upper body strength, one area may be stronger than the other. If you have maintained the plank, you can begin doing push ups. For people with a weak core, adding planks to your set may assist you in speeding up the pace of your push ups. Additionally, it may be more effective to perform several sets of push ups throughout the day, instead of all at once.
Personally, I find it more effective to do several sets scattered throughout the day instead of doing all sets at one time. By doing so, you may add more movements into your daily routine and derive more push up benefits. If you still lack strength to do a standard push up, consider planting your knees on the floor instead of lifting them off the ground. While keeping the body straight, move your heels up toward the buttocks.
You may do this exercise slowly, but still make sure that you utilize full range of motion and let your chest gently touch the floor. This enables you to pull your elbows toward your sides and lets you target chest muscles more. Wall push ups are another good addition to a push up workout for beginners:
1. Stand at least 3 feet away from a wall, then place your palms flat on the wall and lean against it.
2. Do a push up by using your arms to push backward and then slowly move forward
If you can do about a dozen wall push ups easily, you may now perform standard push ups, balancing on your toes and straightening your legs. Then, once you are able to do at least two to three sets of 12 or more standard push ups, you can move to more advanced techniques.
Here are some of the best push ups to help tone your chest, biceps and abs. These may be helpful if you want to focus on these specific areas of your body. If you're unfamiliar with how these push ups work, talk to a physical trainer first in order to learn about the proper form so you can minimize your risk of injury.
According to the book "Total Sports Conditioning for Athletes 50+", some upper chest push ups and lower chest push ups you may want to try include:25
Standard push up
Single arm push ups
Advanced push up (this entails pausing down for one to two seconds, while holding breath)
Diamond push up
Wide push up
Clapping push up
Push up variations like decline and windmill push ups may help develop better biceps.26 If you want the benefits of improving your core and your upper body, try doing plank push ups:27
1. Assume a plank position and straighten your arms and legs. Place your hands under the shoulders and see to it that your feet are hip width apart. Suck navel in toward the spine.
2. Move your right forearm toward the floor or surface, followed by the left, and move into an elbow plank position. Ensure that your torso remains parallel to the floor.
3. Once done, plant both your hands on the floor, and push back upward to a plank position. Do not move the torso from side to side while doing this.
4. Perform this for a total of 10 reps, switch directions and do another set of 10 reps.
Push ups are effective and possibly even more efficient than sit ups for ab toning, as they may help burn fat and enhance the strength of your rectus abdominis muscle. If this is your goal, modify your push up workouts by:
◦ Sucking in your belly button — When you plank, try to pull the belly button in to help tighten the deep inner transverse abdominis muscle. This muscle, which the belly button is attached to, is responsible for keeping the gut in place and delivering support to your spine and vertebrae.
◦ Performing a Kegel squeeze to help you feel and concentrate on abdominal muscles — Pull the lower pelvic muscles upward and clench them tightly. A Kegel squeeze can be likened to stopping urine mid-flow.
You may also do more advanced push up dumbbell rows to target abs and deep core muscles, once you have appropriate weights for your strength and fitness level:
1. Assume the standard push up position. Put the dumbbells at a 45-degree angle away from you.
2. Pull in your belly button, do the Kegel squeeze and inhale once you move toward the floor. As you go up, exhale.
3. When your arms are fully extended, grab the right dumbbell and pull it toward your chest to do a row. Let go of the dumbbell, do another push up, and take the left dumbbell and lift it.
Having poor push up form is a recipe for disaster. Incorrectly doing push ups can raise your risk for certain injuries like wrist pain, rotator cuff injuries and lower back pain. Wrist stretches between sets may help mitigate risk for wrist pain while doing push ups. Place your knees and hands on the floor. With the backs of your hands on the surface and your fingers angled toward your toes, stretch the muscles often targeted during push ups.
You may also stretch your wrist muscles by intertwining your fingers and making sure both palms are touching, forming a "ball." Then, roll hands clockwise and counterclockwise for 15 to 30 seconds each.28 Apart from alleviating wrist stress, work on releasing built-up tension in your core, back and legs while doing push ups.
Injuries can develop if tension remains in the body post-workout. Doing a bridge stretch over a Swiss ball after a set may aid in lowering injury risk. Rest your head and upper back on the Swiss ball. At the same time, stretch your arms perpendicularly to your body and allow hips to relax toward the floor. Maintain this position for one minute.29
There is a sense of accomplishment when you know you're able to properly perform push ups. For some, it may be satisfying to increase the difficulty level with each routine, and for others, it's enough to reap some of the health benefits that are vital for your body. Either way, you can initiate some positive health changes just by doing some reps of this low-cost exercise.
Q: How can you get better at doing push ups?
A: Improving at push ups does not happen overnight. Start by determining the number of push ups you can properly perform, and doing workouts with this much reps. Once you feel your strength increasing, you can perform more reps or do more advanced push ups, while making sure you get sufficient rest too.30
Q: What is the difference between doing push ups versus a bench press?
A: What sets a bench press apart from a push up is the method utilized to target various muscles. People can bench press using a machine dedicated to this move, or improvise by laying down on a bench and lifting a barbell or dumbbells.31
On the other hand, push ups involve a person lying down face first on a floor or surface and using the arms to move upward and downward. Most of the time, only bodyweight is involved in a push up, save for cases wherein dumbbells or weights are added.32 A major advantage of push ups is the opportunity to utilize free range of motion, unlike the latter that tends to restrict your shoulder blades.
Despite their differences, both exercises require correct posture and form, not just for increased workout efficiency and success, but for decreased injuries too.33
Q: Can I do push ups every day?
A: If your body has gotten used to doing push ups, you can do them every day provided that:
• You are aware of your fitness level and know the number of push ups you can perform.34
• You remember the proper push up form and ensure that you stick to it to prevent injuries.
• You perform push ups staggered throughout the day instead of doing them all at once.
• You allot a rest period to promote muscle recovery.35
Q: How many push ups should I do during a workout?
A: As Adam Bornstein of Born Fitness highlights, most people can perform about 20 push ups on average. However, the answer to this question ultimately depends on your fitness level. Ideally, your "baseline" should be the number of push ups you can do with proper form.36
Q: What are other effective push up alternatives I can try?
A: If you're looking for alternatives to push ups, consider the following:37,38
Pull ups/chin ups
Resistance band chest press
Chest fly on exercise ball
Triceps dips
Wall presses
High planks
Plank taps
Push planks
Walking planks
Suspension rows

The Priapus Shot
The revolutionary introduction of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy for penis rejuvenation can help men with enhancement of erection, sensitivity and penis size. This simple, relatively painless office based procedure called the Priapus Shot was pioneered by Dr. Charles Runels. It incorporates the harvesting and injection of one's own plasma enriched growth factors or PRP into specific areas of the penis.
The Priapus Shot uses blood-derived growth factors to rejuvenate the penis. It is a natural process that the body does not reject, and is very successful. It is common for men to have decreased testosterone levels, which in turn, develops into problems in their sex life. The Priapus Shot will make for harder erections and increase the size of your penis. It boosts sensation with blood circulation to achieve the desired result. This treatment satisfies many men who struggle with ED.
The Priapus Shot® results in all of the following:
- Immediately larger.
- Strengthen the penis.
- Straighten the penis.
- Increase circulation within the penis for a healthier organ.
- Make other therapies work better (if you still need Viagra or Cialis, then it will work better for you).
- Increase sensation and pleasure (helps correct the damage from diabetes).
- Increase size by design (Can place more in base or in the head or wherever makes for best result).
- No allergic reactions (using your own body's fluids).
- No lumpiness.
- Minimal pain (no burning from the PRFM since it's from your own body).
The treatment is natural in that your own cells are used. The body reacts to the treated cells as it does to a wound and immediately starts repairing the tissue. This builds the underlying tissue of a possible 10 to 20% increase in length and girth.

Movie making
So far, I must say that I really appreciate the courses I have been able to take since moving back to Sweden almost three years ago. Unlike in Korea where professional development was more or less unheard of, the fact that such courses are offered signals a growing recognition of pedagogical skills and a genuine desire to make university teaching better. Another great thing with UPL is that you get to meet people from across all academic disciplines which tends to give a lot of new perspective and ideas for future research collaboration.
Once you get beyond the awkwardness of hearing your own voice, making movies in itself has been a lot of fun. For the autumn semester and my online course for future police officers I plan to take these videos to the next level and, among other things, use the green screen more.

No, Hillary Clinton didn't advocate for reducing human populations
Plenty of people have worried that the world's growing population will over-tax the earth's resources, but Hillary Clinton didn't advocate for reducing the number of humans here ASAP. A Facebook post that published on Feb. 14 would have you think otherwise.
"This planet might be able to support perhaps as many as half of a billion people who could live a sustainable life in relative comfort," reads the text over a picture of Clinton. "Human populations must be greatly diminished, and as quickly as possible to limit further environmental damage."
This post, which attributes the quote to "U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton," was flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
We couldn't find a credible source corroborating that Clinton said this.
Other websites such as Alex Jones's Infowars and AZ Quotes, among other sources, have reported on a similar quote. But even those websites identified someone else, not Clinton, as the speaker. (And they still didn't get it right.)
The quote has previously been attributed to Eric Pianka, an evolutionary ecologist who holds the Denton A. Cooley Centennial Professor of Zoology post at the University of Texas at Austin.
In a June 24, 2011, post about Al Gore and population control, Infowars describes Pianka as a "very prominent advocate of radical human population control" and credits Pianka as its source for the quote.
Pianka's essay, "What nobody wants to hear, but everyone needs to know," speculates that Earth is poised for another population crash a la the Bubonic plague in the 1330s.
But his essay doesn't include the statement Infowars and others claim he said.
Clinton, meanwhile, has addressed population growth before. On Feb. 9, 1999, when she was the first lady, she gave a speech about Cairo at The Hague. Among other things, she discussed reproductive health care and family planning.
"The world agreed — for the first time — that smaller families and slower population growth are created by choice and opportunity, not control and coercion," she said.
More recently, Bindi Irwin, the daughter of crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, criticized a State Department e-journal in 2013 for revising an essay she wrote and omitting Irwin's opinion that the growing population poses the greatest risk to conservation.
As for the made-up quote in the Facebook post, we rate it Pants on Fire.

Michael Cohen can't fix this.
The embattled ex-attorney to President Trump will almost certainly be sentenced to hard time in a Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday over the laundry list of crimes he's pleaded guilty to, according to legal experts.
The 52-year-old former fixer, who was once one of Trump's strongest advocates, has lost some of his swagger since copping a cooperation deal and flipping on his former patron in hopes of shaving some days off what could be a significant prison stretch.
But Cohen's less-than enthusiastic cooperation stuck in the craw of federal prosecutors for the Southern District of New York.
The prosecutors have urged U.S. District Court Judge William Pauley to hand down a "substantial sentence" of between four and five years for the campaign finance crimes, perjury, tax and bank fraud Cohen has pleaded guilty to because they said he wasn't as forthcoming as they had hoped about his own crimes.
Former prosecutors said it's consequently all but certain Pauley will give him prison time at his sentencing in lower Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
"Southern District of New York judges certainly don't just do what prosecutors say they should do, but I think in Cohen's case, it seems more likely than not that he's going behind bars," Harry Sandick, a former assistant U.S. attorney for SDNY, told the Daily News.
Though Cohen was prosecuted by the SDNY, any leniency he will get will be through his separate cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller.
While acknowledging Cohen's crimes were serious, Mueller gave him some credit for cooperating in his investigation into possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia and said it should be reflected in the sentence.
However, Sandick said it's likely the SDNY recommendation will weigh heavier.
"Mueller's team isn't going to exist beyond a certain point," Sandick said. "(Pauley) has an institutional concern that lasts much longer than this one prosecution."

Go home, Tim Burton and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. You simply cannot compete with the Muppet Jabberwock. The Muppets are perfection.
I have no love purer than my love of the Muppets. Even the mediocre Muppet tales are more watchable then a lot of other things. I also have a special place in my heart for Jabberwocky, which I was forced to memorize for a school project when I was twelve. It's lodged in my brain to this day. But mainly I am here for the Muppets.

5 Best Headlamp for Fishing – Read this Before You Go Fishing
The sun was setting, but I was still fishing. If like me, you've done fishing at sunset, or night time, then you know how difficult it is to handle paddle, fishing rod and the light at the same time.
Doing all those things at the same time was so difficult I had to call it a day and go back home earlier than I wanted.
The next day, I told my fellow angler Bart about my dreadful experience. He listened to me and said: "Sorry to hear about your awful experience. The solution to your problem is a fish headlamp."
He started explaining how a headlamp can be used for fishing in the dark at night or fishing with little light at dawn. I was surprised to learn that it can also be used to see through my way while traveling on canoe, kayak or boat.
Best Fish Finder GPS Combo | Our Buyer's Guide
Every angler knows that it's difficult to catch fish if you don't know where they are. You have to spend some time locating them and finding the perfect spot to catch them.
I've been an angler for quite a while now, and just like you, I've spent a lot of time trying to find where the fishes are.
I'd go out fishing two times a week - especially during the weekend - but never got a single catch because I was fishing blindly in the water.
There was a time when I no longer enjoyed it and thought of quitting.
But then something came up. My friend Garret invited me to a local boat show. Garret took me inside his boat and showed me the fish finder GPS Combo.
He had a Garmin model, and he showed me how the unit could show all these topographical maps, thermal images and be used to locate fish.
I was blown away by the experience. The solution to my problem was right in front of me.
I knew I had to get one, but Garret said there are different models in the market and I should choose one that will work best for me.
And so I did my research and came up with the list of top 5 best fish finder GPS Combo that every angler should try.

Odyl and Facebook Marketing: Worth it for Authors?
What does it take to get your FB page noticed as an author? How can you market your brand name as an author and make book(s) more visible to fans and potential new readers?
Here is a company that appears to have a solution. Odyl has its eye on authors. From what I can see, it markets not only to the big six, but also to smaller publishing sites and indie authors through a fully integrated Facebook platform. What does this mean for authors? Take a look at what author J.T. Ellison has to say in a guest post on Odyl website. She's not the only one touting its virtues. I scouted around the web and found several authors using Odyl to boost their visibility and sales.
I'm interested in seeing what it might cost for such a grand scheme. Sent a note to Odyl to have a look at prices and see if they have something manageable for new authors. I'll let you know the results. Have a look at the article from AllFacebook.

Can you take the Heat?
If someone asks for a critique, or for you to go over their writing, should you? Would you be kind or let 'er rip and tell them what's not working for you? On the receiving end, how do you handle being Critiqued? Today, I read a manuscript from an acquaintance, then related what I felt worked and what didn't. Instantly I became public enemy #1.
In nicer words than those here, I pointed out a lack of tension causing the story to flag and my interest to wane. I tried for constructive criticism— because I want very much for my fellow writers to keep working at it and not give up– applauded parts that flowed to the concept of the tale; but mentioned disconnects between actions of the characters and the reader trying to comprehend the flow of the story. The key here is, what I took in was what the writer conveyed in their manuscript.
The writer decided I am too much of a novice to critique them and could not see the picture they conveyed. Au contraire; I was picturing Giovanni Ribisi, one of my favorite actors, in the Protagonist role, and I tried to see scenes in full realization as they stuttered past in my mind, Giovanni looking for direction. I presented a few suggestions that might improve the MS, but the writer rejected any alterations, fearing tidier segues would change it too much; if they introduced more feeling of the place, tried to build a bit more on the characters, then it wouldn't be their story anymore. Topping off the list of backpedaling the writer expressed they shouldn't have to personally explain each scene for a reader to get it.
On the last gripe I agree. The writing itself should speak to me. Setting, conflict and resolution should convey to me, the Reader, what is happening in the story. Tension should keep me wanting to turn the pages to find out what happens next, and each scene should ease into the next instead of me flipping back and forth to find a connection; bringing to mind Giovanni: all apologetic, his character says, "I'm sorry, but can you point me to the nearest segue?"
I have come to the conclusion that some folks don't really want a critique. They want you to read their work and tell them it has points so well-formed they stab you in the eye while perusing the brilliance of their DARLING bit of fluff, and now you must wear an eye patch and become a pirate, you are so blown by the wave of their stature.
Give me an effing break. Better still, don't ask for a critique if you can't take the heat.
Here is my take on how to handle a Beta Reader's POV: Welcome the harsher voices, the gulls of Criticism if you will; their opinion is as valuable, perhaps more so, than the sweet voiced variety of Critique.
The best Authors and Writers, or at least my favorites, are happy to have people read and share their thoughts of the characters and settings and how these work with each scene. Equally, they welcome the point where you fell asleep reading their tale. This is because they want to kill that bit of needless fluff to make it read better, and take their writing to the next level. They crave, I crave (!) to know what interferes with the flow of the story, where the bogs are that suck away the action, when it is too candy coated and needs added complexity, or where the story has too much description and wants a good conversation between the prime characters, or even the comic relief to ease darkness, just a little, see? A good Critique gives you possibilities.
The best thing about encouraging your friends and acquaintances to read your work, to critique it, is that they are your first audience! *applauds beloved Beta Readers* If you pay attention, really take their constructive criticisms to heart, you will discover that their eyes are invaluable, because they are not in your head. They are Joe Reader. If they get it, chances are your future audience will, too. If they are struggling to wrap their heads around a passage, perhaps you should revisit and make that concept clearer.
It is human nature to balk at criticism, but if we unplug from our initial negative reaction, we open ourselves to the Reader, gleaning that pearl of wisdom that makes our story have luster. So, leap into that boiling cauldron with a smile. Find some Readers to critique your work, then tell them to please, turn up the heat, you can take it. Your work will be better for it, and your naysayers will at the very least respect you for being able to swim in the deep end of the pool of magma.
Well folks, my manuscript calls…a great friend of mine red-inked the heck out of it…for which I thank her! I'll take the advice and change what needs tending, toss the rest…that, too is valuable. 🙂
Keep writing!
See You Around,
C.K. Garner

And the Blog played on…
This weeks Blog is dedicated to Tunny, who gave me props for focusing more on the Writing of my manuscript and less on my Blog. So, it is a little ironic that I'm here blabbing to all the world about it, but it got me thinking about all the ways in which I procrastinate about hitting the keys.
If you are like me, it's really hard to make yourself write more and visit with folks less. There always seems to be one more person you can share with, one more funny email you can respond to, eight more things you could Blog about, someone who needs an answer to a text message, etc., right?
However, all the texting, visiting or emailing with any of those wonderful people are sucking up time you could be spending on your manuscript. You wanna get those idea down on the page? You need to detach a little from your electronic umbilical cords, and tell everyone to sit tight, you'll get back to them after you've written the next chapter.
Now that I know I can begin a story, craft a middle, and have a notion of an end, from where I'm at now, the point is to COMPLETE my manuscript . Completing my manuscript needed to become, and has become more important to me than socializing.
If I spend a majority of time Blogging, my manuscript writing time suffers for it, period. But, because it is my Blog about my writing, it's okay to take a break now and then and Blog for a little while. Did y'all catch that, NOW & THEN .
I am Blogging now because I took a bit of Writer's Break. I was on a writing roll for the last several hours, body starting to grow sore and stiff, and my eyes feeling a bit dizzy. Good time for a break and a cuppa Joe. So, I decided to check my email and I noticed a comment on my Blog. This being my break, I allowed myself to follow it, and here's why:
I've a new rule about breaks: During a Writer's Break, all socialization and attachment to the electronic umbilical cords must be solely to people who are Authors or Writers.
I know that other Writer's understand the need to be mostly absent from the world so you can write, and you don't expect me to Blog or contact you every day. You expect me to have my nose to the proverbial grindstone, churning out the pages and mixing my metaphors. I expect the same of you…except the part about hashing up the metaphors.
One of my favorite Authors, Seanan McGuire said, "Writing a book is a solitary exercise, actually finishing it is not."
She is referring to all the people who helped her in getting her manuscript through all of the stages of proofing and the many people it took to read and reread and hack out the stuff that she couldn't see through to edit out herself, along with those who hosted her when she was writing abroad, and folks who simply listened to her whine. Notice that even on the home stretch there is still a lot of writing to do? I highly recommend McGuire's Blog 50 Thoughts on Writing for her best Writing tips. Check it out.
So, our writing Blogs are important for us as Writers aspiring to be Authors. They are a place where we can get writing advice when we are crumpling up the 20th false start. They are a safe venue for venting our frustrations and cheering ourselves and each other on when the going gets tough and the tough want to quit and take an aspirin and a shot of whiskey, or to offer the same to another Writer in need.
All of this until the day we become an Author. That's when our Blogs become part promotion and part lesson, where we answer questions about how we got there to our fans, and why we didn't off ourselves instead to our worst critics.
Right. Time to get back to my manuscript, folks. Thanks to you all for reading this Blog, and may you get right back to your manuscripts; my coffee is finished and this Writer's Break is over!
What? Are you still here? We've got work to do! Ciao, C.K. Garner 😀
On Writer's Blog
Dear Blog,
I'm afraid I owe you an apology. I have been neglecting you lately, I know. Like a houseplant or a pet you desire interaction, and must have your nutrients and my time to be happy and thrive, and I have been spending my time with a different love.
This may be hard for you to hear, but I feel I must say it, just get these guilty feelings out so I can clear the air! So, yes, I have been neglecting you in order to spend quality time with my manuscript. She's so creative and beautiful, and I find that the more time I spend with her the better she gets, and the more rounded a writer I become.
So, I just want to say that our relationship has to be whittled down to, I hope, a mutual friendship. I just need a little space to work on my relationship with my manuscript and see where that will take me…Us.
Just remember, you can rely on me still, as a friend, a shoulder to cry on, whatever you need. I promise to visit periodically, but I don't feel it is fair to you to stay in a close relationship…for now.
It's not you, it's me.
I'll be seeing you around.
C.K. Garner
More On Audience:
I commented to a recent blog: Foetal Positions in an attempt to explain why I blog to an audience, but it got lengthy, so I decided to expand on the manuscript portion of my answer here. For me, content and character are high on the list in choosing my audience, and you might consider examining this for yourself if you elect to have an audience at all.
I thought I was writing a fantasy novel for adults, but it may be a young adult novel instead, or perhaps a young adult dark fantasy book, due to its content and character development leaning in that direction.
Though the situations may be a bit dark, young people live in a much harsher reality than society gives them give them credit for understanding. By the time they are teens many are exploring darker imagery. However, beyond the darker side of life and pushing boundaries, my manuscript is growing into a coming of age story on its own, but I think that it can be enjoyed by adults, too.
Now, this was not really my initial plan, but rumor has it there is an audience for YA fiction, and lets face it, who amongst us wouldn't want to have our scribblings published, perhaps be successful enough at the game that we can, if not quit our day job, ease up on those hours and devote more time to writing?
I have another manuscript started, a horror novel. This second enterprise is definitely adult in content, moreover involves murder, sex and violence, and it is already holding steady in the adult audience position of its own accord, the characters dealing with adult situations more graphic than in my fantasy novel, even as they grow through solving the mysteries and murders, and evolve in their character arc.
My audience with the first novel, when I'm published, will likely be adults at first; those who have guided me on my journey, and those friends who will buy one to show support, but I've a feeling my young adult audience will trickle their way through to find my bit of work, and with any luck, come back for more.
The second novel will pull in a mature audience, and have a following in perhaps both the horror and dark fantasy genres.
Here is one thing to keep in mind when writing to your audience, and your intentions and responsibilities toward them: This quote by agent Jon Sternfeld: "All genres are mysteries…"
What this means is that you, as a writer are attempting to engage your audience, your readers in a play of, "Hey, there's a mystery to solve here," or a dilemma to overcome, etc., and you promise, as an author to give them a bit of a peek, a chance to anticipate, participate, and unravel the clue, to care about the characters, and solve the problems presented, regardless of genre.

J.K. Rowling plays nicely with all the tropes and genres..
I've been thinking about Harry Potter today in relation to writing my own novel. I dusted off my son's battered old copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling, abandoned now that my son is twenty and moved out into the muggle world as a young adult, and began rereading it, with an eye for what drives this little volume that started a worldwide reading frenzy.
After a few chapters, I caught up on a few things that I had seen before in many, many books happily read over the years. At the most obvious, this is a classic coming of age story.
Harry has the ability to grow, and the reader, if he starts reading this as a child, will mature right along with him, can relate to him from every aspect of what it is to be a kid. From what he is required to eat as opposed to what he wants to eat, from the tedium of studies, to happiness with professors he enjoys, and the schoolyard bullies, lurking around the corners, kids, and adults who remember being a child, can relate to him.
Then there are the friendships that develop as Harry gets to know Hermione Granger, Ron and the whole Weasley clan, and learns how to relate with the other students. He goes from a lonely child to a boy with close friendships.
Finally, there are the adult figures.
Harry has absolutely no experience with adult characters beyond the Dursleys, and he has no reason to trust any adults. But with the arrival of childlike, if intimidating Hagrid, Harry begins to see adults in a new light, and this will continue as he grows and meets Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and the rest of the cast, keeping in mind, he meets the not so nice ones as well, but chooses who he will associate with, once he has freedom of choice beyond the Dursley House. Thus, Harry Potter comes of age before our very eyes through his interactions with humanity, or rather Wizards and Half Bloods and Muggles who touch his life, and change him mostly for the better.
Next, Harry Potter is a rags to riches story. He sleeps in a cupboard, and lacks bedroom, pets, toys, friends, family and good inside or outside activity. He has no one who sees or cares what is happening to him at the Dursley's hands. Creature comforts as simple as a decent bed and a good meal are denied him. Just a couple of chapters in, he is eating savory sausages, has a protector and companion in Hagrid, and finds a new place, richly vibrant and alive in contrast to his life with the Dursleys. The money wealth is only secondary with all that comes his way.
Last, but only because this is such an involved subject, the tropes available just endless, Harry Potter is the classic tale of Good against Evil, and the struggle of our protagonist to learn about himself, the sacrifices his parent made, the eventual knowledge that his father wasn't always the nicest kind of guy, the ambition to push forward and become a leader, albeit reluctantly, and the battle against the Ultimate Foe, one who goes after children…well, the need to choose between the good and the ugly and the middling ground in between lay in at the door of this classic Genre series.
So, what to do with this deluge of information?
I take it as a lesson that my novel doesn't have to fall into just one category or subject arena. Sure, it's nice to bust out with something original, but the tropes laid down in stories past are still going because they are beloved familiars. I can twist and tweak them at will just like J.K. Rowling did and does. The good guys can become bad, the bad good. The rich can become richer, and the poor stay poor, or the poor can gain wealth to no good end. The lonely find a host of company, or just the reverse, find delight in the art of being alone. It's all up to me, and to you, the writers.

Time Series Analysis: When "Good Enough" is Good Enough
Anomaly detection and time series forecasting are valuable in monitoring the financial and technical health of an organization. Proper modeling of time series requires accounting for periodic fluctuation; malicious users; data irregularity, saturation or scarcity; sudden peaks and drops. To account for these parameters, the modeler needs to select the proper model family, optimize the model parameters, validate the assumptions, and refine the process as needed. The task is even more complicated when one needs to build a self-service application that supports "slicing and dicing" any metric to its underlying components. In such a case, where the number of possible models can be counted by thousands, manual tuning is impossible. In this lecture, I show how a series of assumptions and simplifications allowed completing the modeling task in one week, using open source Python packages. I will review all the assumptions, their implications, and limitations. I will also show which modeling approach worked, and which didn't work in case of Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack and other projects, that serves more than 180,000,000 unique visitors a month in the US alone.

Newcastle complete the signing of Federico Fernandez
Newcastle United have confirmed that they have secured the signing of Federico Fernandez from Swansea City.
Twitter: We're delighted to confirm the signing of defender Federico Fernández from @SwansOfficial!
… https://t.co/AAxSOb5Neg (@NUFC)
The Magpies had been chasing the signing of a new central defender ahead of the season's opening this weekend and they have got their man, with Fernandez penning a long-term deal at St James' Park.
Newcastle had been dealt a blow with the injury of Florian Lejeune earlier on this summer, evidently prompting Rafa Benitez to chase a deal for another centre-back.
Fernandez will now make an instant return to the Premier League after being a part of the Swansea side that was consigned to relegation down to the Championship last term.
Benitez will be hoping that Fernandez can slot in alongside Jamaal Lascelles and perform, as Newcastle look to get off to a good start in the top-flight.

For the past eight years, Tuesdays has become synonymous with "pizza night" thanks to Domino's stupidly inexpensive Cheaper Tuesdays deal. From 27 June, rotund cheapskates will be able to indulge their $4.95 pizza cravings every day of the week. Hurrah! There is, however, a slight catch.
Pizza picture from Shutterstock
The 'Cheaper Every Day' deal is Domino's latest attempt to corner as much of the pizza market as possible. As its name suggests, the deal allows customers to purchase $4.95 value pizzas every day of the week. (Last year, the Cheaper Tuesdays deal was extended to Mondays, but this is the first time it has been available all week.)
"Pizza is a social food that brings people together so it's important that great value is offered to our customers during peak pizza eating times," Domino's boss gushed in a statement announcing the move.
Crucially, this includes Friday and Saturday nights, which have typically been discount-free zones. Domino's has also vowed that the quality of its ingredients won't be compromised at any stage during the promotion. Doubtlessly, some would argue that's not really saying much.
So what's the catch? As before, the deal is only available for pickup orders which means you're forced to trudge into an actual store. Tch.
At present, delivery orders are slightly cheaper on Tuesdays provided you reach the minimum order amount. Whether this will extend to the new promotion remains to be seen. [Update: Domino's has confirmed that the Cheaper Every Day deal will not affect current delivery prices. Phew.]

So far, the bathroom has gotten a new light, and a new paint job. Before: kind of a beige colour, with the lights turned off so I can take them apart to paint. In progress. Not sure who decided to paint the closet shelves, but that's still on the to-fix list. During. The point where I realized how out-of-place the tub will look. After. Like this:Like Loading...

I had seen the dinosaur photos that people were doing and I did think they were great, but we wanted to be more original so we decided to go with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man because we were both born in the '80s and Ghostbusters is one of our favorite movies. We even sent Bill Murray a wedding invitation hoping he would show up or at least send back a funny "no" response on our RSVP but he must have been busy that day :)
It's not the first time the couple behind this photo, Katie and Chris Sabino, have caught the internet's attention. In July 2013, their humourous wedding RSVP was featured on Huffington Post, the Chicago Tribune, NYDaily News, and ABC.

The road to Avalanche Gulch:
Avalanche Gulch – what a great name that is. Positively reeks of peril, and looking at the darkened entrance between two high craggy outcrops down a long straight gravel road does little to soothe that impression. Here we are, closer to the entrance. The road is blocked with giant boulders – a little further in, we'll find out why. To the right of the picture, you can see an abandoned mining flume. This is a relic of the gold rush days that led to the founding of the town of Helena in 1864.Further in, the walls of the gulch rise up high on either side of the path.
The smooth, sheer limestone cliffs are ideal for climbing, and, sure enough, we came across a solitary climber ascending an alarmingly high wall. The sign on his truck indicated that he was a stone mason; clearly, his fascination with rock did not stop at the end of a workday.
His truck was parked just a little further in from where he was climbing. He could drive no further in (and must have already negotiated the large boulders at the entrance of the gulch) because here the road was completely washed away.
The heavy and strong spring snow melt had torn up the surface and even displaced a culvert than was now lying rather uselessly on the creek bed as you can see below. The creek claimed some more than the road and steel pipe as I took this long exposure shot; I accidentally kicked my lens hood into the water and it was swiftly lost to a deep rocky crevice.To get further in required negotiated a more difficult path. Here's Geoff on the wooden fence that was used to cross the stream.The sun was setting lower now, clipping the tops of the crags high above us.Time to leave. Looking back to towards the Big Belt Mountains, the lowered sun cast shadows that revealed the shallow curvy topography of the lower slopes.Very pretty indeed.

Crab Monsters, Teenage Cavemen, and Candy Stripe Nurses is an outrageously rollicking account of the life and career of Roger Corman--one of the most prolific and successful independent producers, directors, and writers of all time, and self-proclaimed king of the B-movie. As told by Corman himself and graduates of "The Corman Film School," including Peter Bogdanovich, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese, this comprehensive oral history takes readers behind the scenes of more than six decades of American cinema, as now-legendary directors and actors candidly unspool recollections of working with Corman, continually one-upping one another with tales of the years before their big breaks. Crab Monsters is supplemented with dozens of full-color reproductions of classic Corman movie posters; behind-the-scenes photographs and ephemera (many taken from Corman?s personal archive); and critical essays on Corman?s most daring films--including The Intruders, Little Shop of Horrors, and The Big Doll House--that make the case for Corman as an artist like no other.

SCAMPER provides a 'hip-pocket' tool; ie, an unplanned method of developing appropriate questions on an impromptu basis.
With SCAMPER, you may also take raw input (ie, first-cut ideation lists) and challenge participants to calibrate their raw input into something closer to the form of the answer being sought. Use the questions prompted by SCAMPER to stimulate more ideas as well. For example, "How might we combine 'A' and 'B'?"
"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why." — Albert Einstein
SCAMPER Method
Select appropriate questions offered through the mnemonic known as SCAMPER and challenge some of the raw data or initial input to help the group build and understand additional options.
SCAMPER — Similar Perspectives
In addition to SCAMPER, consider changing perspective to capture new ideas. For example, assign analogies of famous people, organization, or entropic situations. Ask—"What would (insert blank from below) do in this scenario?" Or, compare and contrast results through break-out groups, such as:
- Steve Jobs and Apple versus Bill Gates and Microsoft
- A monastery versus the mafia (organized crime)
- A university versus the military
- An ant kingdom versus the weather system (ecosystem), etc.
Nobody is smarter than everybody because groups create more options than individual ideas that are aggregated. SCAMPER or changing perspectives makes it easier to create new ideas during the meeting that did not exist prior to the meeting. Any group or individual is known to make higher quality decision when provided with more options.

Scotland Yard Charge Man for Terrorism Over Encrypted Blog
U.K.'s Scotland Yard is accusing a Cardiff man on six counts of terrorism after he was arrested last month by Scotland Yard's counterterrorism squad.
In a pre-planned and pro-active investigation by the MPS Counter Terrorism Command, which is supported by the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit (WECTU), 33-year-old Samata Ullah, who is a suspected ISIS member, was arrested in a street in Cardiff.
A detailed breakdown of the six terrorism charges can be found on the Metropolitan Police website.
As reported by Ars Technica, Ullah, was accused on one count of preparation of terrorism 'by researching an encryption programme, developing an encrypted version of his blog site, and publishing the instructions around the use of [the] programme on his blog site.'
He has also been accused of knowingly providing instruction in the use of encryption programmes that were being used for terrorist purposes.
He has been remanded in custody by Westminster Magistrates' Court and will appear at the Old Bailey on October 28.
Interestingly, enough, one Reddit user, Withabeard, recently published a comment stating that Ullah 'hasn't been charged for helping terrorists', but that he's 'been charged for having an encrypted blog' and that 'the reason authorities have chosen to charge him, is because that blog may contain material that helps terrorists.'
Withabeard, who mentions that he uses encryption every day and trains staff to use encryption, goes on to say that:
It shouldn't matter what the encryption was going to be used for, no-one should ever be charged with doing that.
However, another user, Hesh582, hits back by stating:
He was charged with a terrorist offense. The encryption was part of it, but the 'purpose of terrorism' bit is why it was criminal. Training someone to use encryption for non-terrorist purposes is not illegal. Replace 'encryption' with 'gun'. It's not illegal to train someone to use a gun (though there are obviously regulations there). It is illegal to train a terrorist to use a gun for terrorism.

Public Service Obligations Sardinia - April 16th 2019
The proposal presented yesterday by President Solinas during the meeting held in Villa Devoto in the presence of a delegation from our company and Alitalia is unfortunately not acceptable.
Air Italy has stated on several occasions that it is not able to share routes from Olbia with Alitalia. Therefore, while we appreciate the effort made by the Governor to find a solution, in this case, he has reaffirmed an untenable solution.
On 12 March, Air Italy agreed to fly from Olbia to Rome and from Olbia to Linate (and vice versa), without financial compensation, to protect its staff of over 500 people and the investment made over the last 50 years in the service of Sardinia. Unfortunately, the proposed solution would not guarantee these objectives and would result in an even more negative result than that already envisaged in the proposed no-compensation solution.
The proposal advanced yesterday contained elements of strong ambiguity, with negligible concessions and no viable solution being offered.
Equally, it failed to address the tariff imbalance that has been created with respect to Olbia, and Alghero and Cagliari.
As a result of the above, Air Italy will now have to forgo the routes in favour of Alitalia – an airline under extraordinary administration that benefits from a bridging loan worth €900 million paid entirely by tax payers.
Today, as a result of this situation, hundreds of Air Italy employees, thousands of families in Olbia and tens if not hundreds of thousands of travelers are now in total uncertainty because of this farcical situation.
Air Italy will now begin re-protecting passengers and immediately initiate a full assessment of how best to protect our personnel, and will be asking the relevant Ministries for support in this.

How do you secure a ladder to reach soffit that is up 8-10 feet in the air while on a metal roof? Can the ladder be secured in some way. I don't want to the scratch metal roof?
Hi Janet,
I myself would never place a ladder on a metal roof. Not because of scratching though. My concern would be falling off.
Even fire fighters are finding metal roofs to be a huge issue and I consider fire fighters to be the ladder experts. Fire fighters also have access to the most advanced type ladders and ladder equipment.
If you don't have (safe) accessibility from the ground to the soffit (with a purchased or rented extension ladder) then I would use some kind of a man lift to get the job done.
Another alternative is to securely bolt, nail or screw a 2x4 (wrapped with a soft covering) onto the roof (for the rubber covered feet of the ladder to lean or brace against). To do so I suggest that you use some sort of roofing brackets. Ones that are recommended for a ladder sit on.
This will of course makes holes in the roof (and needs to be filed with an exterior silicone caulking). Said caulking would have to match the color of the metal roof.

The amount of caffeine in four cups of coffee per day could boost heart health in older adults by improving the elasticity of their blood vessel walls, suggests a study published in PLOS Biology.
Previous research has shown that coffee can cut the risk of death from heart disease, diabetes, and stroke by about 19 percent, and may lower the risk for other health problems, including liver disease and certain cancers. This study, conducted by researchers in Germany, examined the effects of caffeine on human heart tissue and laboratory mice at the molecular level.
The researchers found that the caffeine equivalent of about four cups of strong coffee per day for 10 days could help prevent cell death and improve the health of heart tissue. They warn, however, that although some people may derive health benefits from drinking coffee, excessive caffeine intake can raise your heart rate, cause heart rhythm problems, and may promote tumor growth.

- Page 1 Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD81 32in Freesat HD LCD TV Review
- Page 2 Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD81 Review
- Page 3 Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD81 Review
- Page 4 Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD81 Review
Setting the TX-32LZD81 up is an absolute breeze. When you power the set on for the first time, it will automatically tune all the internal tuners – Freesat HD, Freeview and analogue. Once all the channels have been found and stored, the TV will then ask you if you're at home or in a shop. This is a great feature, since many TVs leave the factory with settings that suit a shop floor, but look awful in the living room, so this simple selection means that consumers don't have to manually calibrate their TV, although a bit of manual tweaking will certainly still help.
Even though I'm a long term Sky HD user, I've got to say that there's something really nice about having a high definition tuner built into a TV, rather than having to use a set top box. Of course you're only getting a very limited amount of HD content, but the BBC HD service looks every bit as stunning as it does over Sky. Heroes for instance looks breathtakingly sharp and detailed, even though the programme itself hasn't really improved since the woefully bad second season. It's also worth remembering that Freesat HD is the only way to receive ITV HD, and if you're a football fan, you'll know just how important that is. With ITV showing some of the key Champions League and England matches, most viewers are subjected to God awful transmissions where it's hard to even make out which team has the ball. But if you have Freesat HD, you can watch all those matches in glorious high definition, and believe me, it makes all the difference.
On the whole the TX-32LZD81did a very good job of rendering the pristine high definition images that its Freesat HD tuner received. There's certainly no lack of detail on offer – even though many would argue that Full HD resolution isn't worthwhile on such a small screen, there's still no substitute for a 1,920 x 1,080 image mapped pixel for pixel. The result is a pin sharp picture, that's enhanced by the fact that the pixel pitch on a screen this size is considerably smaller than on a larger TV.
Of course, to make use of Freesat HD you're gong to need a satellite dish installed, which will cost around £70 if you don't already have one. But if you're already a Sky customer, you should just be able to run a cable from your existing dish – assuming you're not already using all four LNBs. Even if you're not a Sky customer, you may already have a dish installed at your house thanks to a previous tenant, which is exactly what I found when I bought my house. Then it's just a matter of connecting the cable that's already there.
