Blogs may be started for pleasure or for purely business purposes. No matter your reason, your blog is a way to personally express your attitudes, interests, and opinions. Even though blogs are personal and unique, you still need to follow blog posting principles so that you can attract visitors to your page. The piece that follows includes several great ideas to get your blog up and running smoothly.
Be available for your readers at all times. Connections are important in the online world, and this is especially true when you are writing a blog. If you've built a connection with readers, you can be available to them more often. Remember that other people out there will be disappointed if you give up on your blog.
Check to be certain you have not overused keywords, Adsense postings, images or plug-ins. This will only cause you to get flagged by search engines and make it harder to find you. Write naturally, and make sure that your blog posts are easy to read.
Always strive to be real. Come off as a regular person and not as an unapproachable expert. Try to appear honest, open, and transparent. Always remember to do this. A blog can be a singular expression of a person's individuality. Do not waste any time attempting to reach perfection. Instead, do your best and make improvements consistently. Of course you will make mistakes from time to time. You are a unique person and that is part of your individuality.
Try to keep your blog posts brief and on-topic to help hold the readers interest. Providing your readers with plenty of details is important, but if your post is too long, many visitors will tire of reading it. Most of your blog followers don't expect, or want, you to go on and on about minor details. They are interested in the meat and bones of a subject and not a lot of fluffy garnishment!
As you can see from these tips, creating a blog is nothing more than a few key tips, pieces of knowledge, and the determination to keep trucking. Use what you have learned here to set you on the path to reaching your goals. Enjoy your happy writing a blog adventure!

Getting to sleep, and staying asleep, is a huge problem for many people these days. Sure, you can take a sleeping tablet, and you can have a glass of red wine, but if you are serious about sleeping well, not only just sleeping, you should try having sex before you put your head on your pillow. When I come off my shift at London escorts, I am not normally ready to go to sleep yet, and when I get home from London escorts, I love to have sex to sleep well.
Okay, some of the other girls at outcall London escorts may have a hot chocolate and an oat biscuit, but to be fair, that does not really do it for me at all. If I want to sleep well, I always have sex, and try to have at least one orgasm. The funny thing is that I am not sure if it is the sex or the actual orgasm that makes me sleep well. I really can't see the point in having sex without an orgasm, and I will use sex toys to have an orgasm.
What happens when my boyfriend is not at home? We don't live together, but my boyfriend does come around most nights. He has his own key to my place, and we do very much have the same needs. He likes to have sex before he closes his eyes, and says that he does sleep better after sex. The only problem is that I come home late from London escorts, and he has to get up early in the morning. That does not really make our sex sessions as he calls them, that romantic. But finding a partner who has the same shift pattern as my London escorts one, is going to be a tall order.
In general, I do think that sex makes you sleep better. It does not have to be adventurous or good quality sex all of the time. Sometimes a quick shag on top of the kitchen table will do, but there are other times when I need that little bit more. My boyfriend and I try to make sex extra special at the weekends. Unless I have an overnight date with London escorts on Saturday, I am normally home and we manage to enjoy some great sex together. You can sort of make a lot more out of sex when you have more time on your hands.
I keep wondering if we are programmed to have sex before we go to sleep. Speaking to my colleagues at London escorts, it is clear that many of them do enjoy sex before they go to sleep. I think it helps you to relax, and all of those feel good hormones which are released during sex, can make you feel on top of the world. You feel content and comfortable, and that makes it ten times easier to fall asleep. I used to suffer nightmare before I discovered that sex before sleep made me feel better. Now I don't suffer from nightmares at all, and I really do think that sex before bed has helped me to cope with that.

Spotify Playlist of the Week
September 23, 2015
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
"Broken Fuse"
Many people tend to stray away from jam bands or jazz fusion associating them with something like The Grateful Dead or Phish, endless improvisational sections over top of rather uninteresting harmonic progressions.
With this week's Spotify playlist, I felt the need to bend that stereotype a little.
While it is true that much of this music features lengthy improvisational sections (and lengthy songs for that matter), not all of it is quite as unstructured as many are led to believe.
First, I'd like to talk a little bit about Frank Zappa. He is a rather polarizing individual, people either love him or hate him. The instrumental piece that I included in this week's playlist, Black Napkins, is one that should sway any fan of jazz music into the right direction.
The piece consists of only two chords, but the voice leading that Zappa wrote made it seem like there is so much more going on. The way that the horns weave in and out of each other while playing is a bit unexpected but pleasing at the same time.
This version in particular, features live horn players as opposed to synthesizers, as opposed to other versions out there.
Each of the solos showcases the true virtuosity and experimental nature of the players and really makes the piece sit in this interesting place between being something simple, and being incredibly complicated and dense.
Another piece of note is "Smile in a Wave" by the Screaming Headless Torsos.
This crazy upbeat piece with Latin influence starts out with a percussion introduction featuring both the drummer and percussionist playing this shuffled groove completely locked with one another.
Throughout the piece the band drives home the melody of the song, with every melodic instrument performing it at the same time (the singer even scats it). The whole piece makes it impossible for the listener to sit still, and this is especially true during the one section right before the main melody is repeated where it drops into this grungy half-time feel, likening itself to almost metal.
Finally, there's "Sex in a Pan" by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. This piece presents an incredible juxtaposition between the funk fueled bassline and the Americana vibe in both the banjo and the harmonica.
What's really interesting is the variation that comes into play in both of those instruments. When the harmonica and banjo play fills, both incorporate more chromatic notes than are generally heard on those instruments. It's almost off-putting.
Fleck always tries to change the game in his pieces, often utilizing strange instrumentation that one wouldn't expect in a jazz piece.
Overall, this playlist is just cool to have on in the background when you need something to groove along to.

Effective HCG Treatment to Shed Pounds
It is needless to say that HCG treatment is one of the most effective ways to shed pounds. At the early stage when this therapy for weight reduction was discovered it was available only in the form of injection. However, nowadays in this treatment HCG pellets and drops are used. This is because; pellets and HCG drops are easy to consume and cause less risk of infection and pain. HCG therapy is not only suitable for women, but men also can undergo this therapy. It is purely natural and do not have any side effect.
Usually, in this HCG diet treatment natural HCG hormones are used for activating the accumulated fat in your body. In fact, if you are really serious about this treatment then it is better to know that the drops and HCG pellets can be used of your own without taking the assistance of any physician.
HCG diet therapy of weight loss mainly comprises 4 stages. In the first stage you do not have to follow certain limit for calorie intake. During this period you need to load your body with fat, whereas in the 2nd stage you are suggested to take low-calorie food. In this stage, you should strictly avoid fast food. Then the 3rd stage comes. It is known as maintenance period in which your low calorie dietary habit is maintained. Finally in the last stage you need to promise yourself that you will follow this habit forever.
Thus by following this habit you will be able to make your body fit as well as healthier than before. So, do not waste any more time. Just go through a proper HCG diet and enjoy a healthy life. For more information on this HCG weight loss program you need to consult a good HCG doctor.

For a time Wednesday, computer hackers were able to steal more than $84,000 from Story County, but within a few hours, the money was recovered.
For a time Wednesday, computer hackers were able to steal more than $84,000 from Story County, but within a few hours, the money was recovered.
Jane Evans, a financial deputy with the county, noticed an unusual bank transaction with her name on it Wednesday morning. A statement showed a transfer of $84,390.81 to a bank Evans was unfamiliar with.
�It was quite a shock,� Evans said.
Evans checked with co-workers to make sure none of them had made such a transfer before contacting the receiving bank. That bank returned the money the same day.
�I think the timeliness of catching it, before it was transferred out of the other bank account, was critical,� Evans said.
Evans declined to name the receiving bank, noting the attempted theft is under investigation.
The Story County Sheriff�s office and FBI are looking into the matter. Capt. Barry Thomas, of the sheriff�s department, said there was no new information he could divulge.
�It�s way too early for us to comment,� Thomas said.
Thomas said this is the first time in his 22-year career that hackers had succeeded in stealing money from the county.
Evans said additional security was put in place after a European hacker entered the computer system of Cerro Gordo County in February. The Mason City Globe-Gazette reported no money was taken in that incident, but the hacker may have been able to see personal banking account information for 230 county employees.
Evans said there is no evidence of that happening in the Story County case.

to be a placevaguenessPosted by Kajsa G Eriksson Wed, January 29, 2014 14:49:51
The place as a space moves into my body and becomes a part of it. This is an un-reversible process. To flow, to flee into a space, to mimic, to appropriate and partially assimilate. The space is eventually left and abandoned and still the space lives on inside of me as memory, experience, new stories and fantasies. The process goes on regardless if the space is self-organized or governed but there is a difference, in a governed space the actual structure and system of the space seem to move in to my body rather than the informal and random meetings of a vague space and in this case a particular "terrain vague" in Västra Frölunda.
I picture
the connection between my body and the space as an invisible thread that
continue to exist between me, people, plants, animals and material.

In an extremely positive and highly constructive development on the hot skies on the Korean Peninsula, US President Donald Trump discussed with the South Korean President Moon Jae-in a negotiated deal for the diffusion of the North Korean crisis. "I believe it makes sense for North Korea to do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world," Trump told at a news conference at the Presidential Blue House in Seoul. He urged Pyongyang to 'come to the table' and 'make a deal.' No comments were readily available from Pyongyang. The message is upbeat.
Trump visited Seoul on 7-8 November as part of his 12-day long Asian tour. Seoul is a vital ally of the United States. Pyongyang is completely muted over Trump's visit to Seoul. The whole focus of Trump's Asian tour was on the settlement of the North Korean issue. The US-South Korea alliance has protected the security of the latter since 1950. With all its military preparations, North Korea remains unable to invade South Korea but threats keep continuing.
Trump's visit to Seoul was highly symbolic and figurative to strengthen the bonds of the traditional military alliance between the United States and South Korea. Trump gave a clear cut message, warning, and reminder to Pyongyang from the door-step of South Korea, but his tone was not as harsh as it was in Tokyo a day ago. He rather went on for a negotiated settlement.
Trump even praised China for being 'very helpful' and 'trying very hard to solve the problem' – a day before his visit to Beijing. It looks like Trump is serious about the resolution of the North Korean problem. A unilateral approach has been beaten up and the views of South Korea and China have taken over the thoughts of Trump.
He met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and exchanged views on the developing situation in North Korea besides meeting US troops at Camp Humphreys, some 100 km from Seoul. South Korea hosts 28,500 US troops. Trump dropped a visit to the De-Militarised Zone (DMZ) due to heavy fog.
The US-South Korea alliance has protected the security of the latter since 1950. With all its military preparations, North Korea remains unable to invade South Korea
The left-leaning Moon is a reconciliatory toward the North Korean issue. He does not agree with a unilateral military action against Pyongyang taken by the United States. Trump was confrontational, harsh and he closed all doors for a negotiated settlement, calling it waste of time. The tone of Trump in Seoul, however, also caught Moon's reflection. Trump adopted a reconciliatory tone in Seoul. Earlier, he criticised Moon for 'appeasing' North Korea.
Trump changed his mind and approach in Seoul and said, "we hope to God, not to have to resort to the use of full US military might". This appeal was somewhat different from what he said in Tokyo and what he often used to remark in Washington. Moon wants diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang. Trump adopted less confrontational approach toward North Korea and asked Pyongyang: "It really makes sense for North Korea to come to the table and make a deal," Trump told reporters at a joint news conference with Moon.
With this new emerging situation between the two staunchest allies, one has to see how Pyongyang would react to create space for a negotiated settlement. Addressing the National Assembly in Seoul on November 8, Trump warned North Korea not to miscalculate American restraint as weakness and underestimate the American strength. On the top, one has to see how Pyongyang would respond to Trump's offer of peace deal. It is the biggest development in many months to diffuse tension on the Korean Peninsula.
The economic development comparisons drawn between South and North Korea were revealing. With US$ 1.4 trillion GDP, South Korea ranks as the 11th largest economy while North Korea's GDP is US$ 17 billion. Their economies were almost similar in 1950. North Korea needs to focus on its economic development and overcome its poverty and other economic worries.
Besides security, Trump has issues of trade with South Korea. He also wanted equitable trade. The US-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which is in place for five years and was enacted under President Obama, worries the US trade interests and increasing of the US trade deficit. The agreement removed trade barriers and gave an upper-hand to South Korean manufacturers and exporters.
South Korea is the six largest trading partner of the United States. Bilateral trade between the two countries reached US$ 112.2 billion in 2016 with US$ 42.3 billion US exports to South Korea and US$ 69.9 billion imports from the country, making a trade deficit of US$ 27.6 for the United States. Now, Trump wants to decrease trade deficit with South Korea, which is Asia's fourth largest economy.

Miscarriage as a Catalyst for Transformation
I lost a baby. That's the common language used about miscarriage. But something in that implies a wrongdoing. I remember so clearly thinking and feeling "I did something wrong" and "it's my fault this is happening".
I remember scanning for days and months afterwards. What if I didn't want the baby enough? What if it's because I ate sushi? What if it's because I had contact with the kitty litter?
And in moments of clarity, what if it's not my fault?
There I was – 40, healthy and ecstatic – almost 6 weeks pregnant, overflowing with hormones, love and that special kind of baby magic. It was a surprise pregnancy but felt destined. My then partner was a little slower to get on board. And just as he was warming to the idea of a baby arriving, it all changed again and just as suddenly.
The hormones dropped. Magic gone. Flat. Empty. Face dull and missing something. Then the bleeding started, the pain and the rocking through the pelvis. It was like giving birth without being able to hold a baby afterwards.
She was gone. I felt at peace initially. I knew my life was transformed. I felt so different. But the next day grief hit. And it hit hard. My life was a bit of a battleground at that time. (more about that here) Every way I looked there was challenge.
I had believed my baby was my gift in the midst of a chaotic and turbulent time. She was bringing magic to me and my family. And when she left – what had I done wrong?
That happened over 3 years ago now. It's been a long and challenging path to completion of this stage of my life. I have grieved deeply and wholeheartedly. I had hoped for another chance for a baby with my partner but we broke up.
My baby was gone and my partner gone too. Devastation hit, I felt like everything disappeared overnight. My passion and vision for making a difference in the world went missing too. I had no capacity to care for others.
So I dove inwards for a long time. I wrestled with the question of whether I wanted to have a baby. Being pregnant felt so magic – surely I wanted more of that. I wanted to feel the joy of physical mothering. But it's such a big life change to have a baby.
All along I knew that I wouldn't have a baby solo. Sure I could. But that's not for me. I have done so much of my life alone, there's no part that wanted to raise a baby alone. For me the choice would be for family, not for a baby.
As I wrestled with my decision – will I have a baby or won't I? I knew one thing was missing – an intimate partner. No one was showing up in my life. I was also not in a great state to meet someone. And I didn't want to be looking for my baby's father. It all felt quite desperate for some time. I was also incomplete from the last relationship.
Since I work with women all the time I hear the stories of resentment, challenge and struggle in being a mother. It's not very acceptable for mothers to resent their children in society, so many hide it. But I get to see those aspects because of the way in which I support people to open and feel.
It means I have a balanced view of parenting. There's no space for the fantasy of how perfect it would be – I hear both sides of the story regularly. People talk truth in my client room.
I began reconnecting with my passion for making a difference. Seeing and feeling the ways in which I love to serve. And on the other side of miscarriage there were new gifts. My awareness was deeper, my ability to read people heightened, my compassion much more full and my surrender to not knowing very complementary to taking people into profound transformational spaces.
Miscarriage had been a catalyst for a new me. I had birthed myself all over again.
I started to feel truly alive again. I started to live for now and the future rather than stuck in "what if?" I also made peace that I hadn't done anything wrong. The miscarriage was not my fault.
Miscarriage was the most profound rite of passage. As a woman I felt more alive than ever. I knew myself much more fully. I felt aspects of my feeling nature so much more finely attuned. It was painful, it was challenging. And it's been an incredible gift. A gift of medicine from my spirit baby to me.
I am now in a new relationship. Coming alive again was the seed for this connection. He has a teenage boy and has had a vasectomy. So embarking on this relationship was the next layer of challenging myself. Am I ok with not having a child?
I am.
I mother many through my work. I hold and love and nurture people every day. They tell me things they have never shared before. I create mother-healing circles for men to break ties with their mothers, to say what they have been afraid to say. I hold men and women as they sob their deep heartbreaking tears for not being mothered in the way they longed for. I give people permission to truly feel and express their whole selves.
My baby has helped me to mother others even more deeply, she taught me the deepest compassion I have ever known.
I tasted being a mother through my baby. She's still with me. But in the spirit world. And grief is part of my tapestry; the grief of knowing her is part of me.
I am at peace with her and myself.
I recently went on a retreat, Spirit Baby retreat – healing womb grief. And that was my final layer of healing. I communicated with my spirit baby during a cacao ceremony. It was profound. It was just what I needed to know and to trust fully that I am in the perfect place for me.
The ceremony included a beautiful honouring and acknowledging of our babies – each woman undergoing her own release whilst loving each other. Also being acknowledged as a mother in the physical world by other women was incredibly healing. The whole experience was beyond touching.
I came home from retreat so ready, knowing and trusting for this next phase of my life. Co-creating in my unique way with my partner and others who are aligned in vision.
As society evolves more women and men question whether or not to have children. I know that traditionally it was expected that people marry and have children. Nowadays we have so many more choices available. Explore that option. Let yourself be free to dream of the life you desire.
When I feel the urge to co-create during lovemaking, my partner and I channel that energy towards what we are creating in our inner worlds and the gifts we contribute to each other and our communities. Co-creation between powerful people can take many beautiful and varied forms.
With love,

Thanksgiving is the holiday where we indulge our gluttonous side with heaping portions of comfort food. It's also family-centered and a day we show gratitude for the relationships that we have with others by sharing a fabulous meal. This holiday meal doesn't need to be a reason for days of dietary regret. Planning the menu ahead of time with your children with healthy options will encourage excitement about a Thanksgiving dinner everyone can feel good about.
Fresh is Best
The easiest way to making a healthier Thanksgiving is using fresh ingredients. Avoiding all the preservatives, additives, and unnecessary sweeteners can take some planning ahead. With kids, fruit and vegetables offer a colorful and fun way to add fresh ingredients. Many Thanksgiving menus involve seasonal ingredients such as pumpkin, yams, and apples. Shopping for these at a farmers market is a fun way to encourage kids to eat healthy and become involved in the entire meal process.
Portion Control
Skip the giant portions by serving dishes in smaller containers. Instead of a pie, serving the filling with a crumble top in a small mason jar or inside of a hollowed out apple is a great way to present the dessert and keep portions in check.
Substitute Ingredients
To cut back on sugar and fats in a meal, look for substitutions. Not necessarily artificial sweeteners, but things like fruit butters for a dinner roll instead of traditional butter. There are many substitutions that can be made that keep the sweet taste kids love in a healthier way.
Keep it Fun
Involving kids in the meal from planning to preparation is the best way to create an enjoyable holiday meal. Younger kids can help choose dishes by pictures in a cookbook, while older children may help with making the shopping list and preparing the ingredients. Recipes that include appetizers or desserts in fun shapes are easily found online and can be a great way to introduce kids to healthier ingredients.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's budget watchdog said the Conservative government appears to have overstated its budget deficit by an average of C$4.7 billion ($4.74 billion) a year for the current and next three fiscal years.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty revised the budget outlook on November 13, projecting federal budget deficits for this year and the following three years that were on average C$5.8 billion bigger than the government estimated in its March budget. He also said the federal government would wipe out a small deficit in 2016-17, a year later than previously forecast.
But both Flaherty and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have since contradicted their own report, pledging to balance the books before the next election in 2015.
The finance minister has said the different is due to a C$3 billion cushion in its latest forecasts that won't be used if the economy performs well.
In a report assessing Ottawa's revisions, the parliamentary budget officer (PBO) said on Thursday the picture painted by the government is more pessimistic than is warranted.
Its calculations - based on the same forecasts the government uses - showed higher revenue and lower program expenses than was estimated by the government.
The report stressed, however, that the federal Department of Finance did not provide the PBO with enough information about its underlying assumptions and methods for it to properly explain the difference.
"Given the changes to the government's economic assumptions, and excluding the impact of policy decisions, the changes to Finance Canada's fiscal outlook since Budget 2012 are somewhat larger than what its sensitivities would suggest," the report said.
The "sensitivities" refer to the estimated impact on revenue and expenses of downward revisions to nominal gross domestic product and interest rates.
The PBO said that according to its calculations, the budget balance would be C$1.1 billion lower this year and a similar amount over the next three years, compared with Flaherty's report showing an average $5.8 billion downward revision
The PBO speculated that Ottawa's projections on the effective tax rate may be different from its own.
Some pundits have speculated that Harper wants to deliver a good news "surprise" on the budget by 2015, which might help the Conservatives get re-elected that year.
"Finance Canada does not provide sufficient information and data related to its assumptions and methods ... which would be required to conduct a thorough assessment," the PBO said.
"PBO believes that providing this information and data would significantly improve budget transparency."
A finance department spokesman said the government would likely comment later on Thursday.
Kevin Page, who heads the PBO, has been clashing for months with the government over its refusal to hand over certain data and information that he says he needs to fulfill his mandate to advise lawmakers on budget matters.
The government says the information he wants is confidential and that Page is overstepping his bounds.
Last week Page and Thomas Mulcair, leader of the New Democratic Party - the main opposition - asked the federal court to settle the dispute by clarifying the PBO's mandate.

LYCOMING COUNTY, Pa.-- The Pennsylvania Game Commission is telling people to stop feeding the bears.
Mange, which is a sometimes fatal skin infection, is spreading among the bear population in Central Pennsylvania.
While the Game Commission knows it would be difficult to completely get rid of mange, they know the can try to slow it down by preventing the spread of the skin infection.
The problem came to light when the game commission found a bear two years ago, and it was starving to death and was left with just a tuft of hair on its back, according to WNEP.
That bear and others like it have died from a severe case of mange that is caused by mites.
Harold Cole from the Game Commission said, "It was first a couple isolated cases and over the years, it's gotten a lot more severe. And what it is, is a small little insect that burrow underneath the skin of the animal."
Officer Cole lures bears in with food and then attempts to trap those that are suffering from the infection to give them treatment.
However, Cole warns others to stop feeding the bears as drawing several of them to one location could help spread the infection.
"The mite is spread through two different ways. The one is contact and common area."
Unfortunately, some of the bears that Game Commission officers trap are just too far gone with mange, and they are unable to help them.
This year alone in Lycoming and Clinton Counties, six to eight bears were put down due to mange.
Officers warn, if you see a bear you believe may have mange, do not try to approach it, and call the Game Commission for help.

11 Questions from my Presenter
1. Living or dead, who would be your first choice to invite to an imaginary dinner party?Since I am not a master when it comes to interacting with unfamiliar human beings and meeting a celebrity of any sort would very likely end up being extremely awkward, I would most like to invite my parents to a dinner party. That way I'd be sure I would have a good time :)
2. Top three items to take on a tropical holiday?A good book, a nice bikini, and sunscreen? :)
3. Favourite book character?I can't pick one, but here are my top 10 (in no particular order)!
- Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
- Oskar Schell in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
- Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson
- Arya Stark and John Snow in A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

- Minny Jackson in The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- Death in The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
4. What are you afraid of?Birds! I am terrified of them - a true ornithophobe. There is no particular reason or event (that I can remember) that has caused or triggered this phobia, I am just terrified of being touched by a bird. I have a hard time walking by a bird on the street when I am on my own and I keep having nightmares of birds.
5. If you could change your given name, what would you change it to?
I don't think I would ever do that, but if I had to I would probably pick a name that does not have an 'r' in it. I don't know why -- just not a fan of r's in the middle of a name (especially the German way of pronouncing it).
6. Top THREE books that you read during 2012
7. Favourite film of all time?God, tough one: I don't have the biggest movie repertoire. The Jungle Book is probably the film I have seen the most times over the years, so I'm just going to go with that.
8. Best piece of advice your mother ever gave you?
There is not really a mantra or something of the sort that I strongly associate with my mother. I have learnt so much from her, but I think one of the most important things is to always believe in myself. Hab dich lieb, Mama. ♥
9. How many books did you read during 2012?I read a disappointing total of 22 books when I wanted to read 50. I really want to read more in 2013.
10. Where would be your ultimate holiday location?I can absolutely not pick one. I just want to travel the world. There is too much out there to settle for just one destination!

I have always been a misfit.
Maybe it's my thought process and my view on life.
Maybe it's the fact that I'm a Slytherin. Who knows?
I'm not gonna lie to you guys, I'm not that good at introductions. It's nice, however, to be apart of a group that is a bunch of like-minded individuals working towards something that can truly be great. Welcome to the Misfit's Tavern.
I'm Mo and I will be starting off this week of introduction posts. You will get a view inside the minds of all of the hosts that have gathered create this! We are so excited to bring to you a different voice in the world of gaming, television, movies and more!
Originally from NYC, I have always loved video games and comics. My first comic book was an Archie comic that I got from the huge "newsstand" on the side entrance of Grand Central, right near the subways. It became a weekly tradition that I got these comics and I devoured them. The fights between Betty and Veronica, the love triangles, Jughead being Jughead, I was hooked into their world. I started getting into superheroes around the same time and I discovered Wonder Woman when I went to Midtown Comics for the first time. She's still one of my favorite heroines.
I've been into Harry Potter for as long as well. I was too young to read the first book when it came out, but I was able to read when the second one did. That was basically the beginning of the end, to be completely honest. I started playing video games around the same age with my first game being Pokemon. My brother and I used to trade games all the time so I got to play most of the versions. My favorites were Gold and Silver back in the day. I love most films but ESPECIALLY horror films. Give me some Halloween or Night of the Living Dead. Scare the crap out of me.
Here is a list of some games/tv/movies/things that I like:
- Anime
- The Walking Dead
- Dogs
- Pacific Rim
- Harry Potter
- LotR
- The Hobbit
- Shows like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage
- Music lover
- French Fries
- Caffeine and sarcasm
This week we will be premiering all of our social media accounts, which will be displaying in the sidebar to your right. I'm happy to be here and I can't wait to show you what we have in store! I'll end this post with my favorite piece of news for the week which is the premiere of Lazer Team 2 by Rooster Teeth on November 22nd on YoutubeRed! The first one was amazing and I know I'll probably love the second one!
That's all for now guys!

If there's one thing people can't seem to get enough of on YouTube, it's cat videos, real and animated. "Simon's Cat," from British animator Simon Tofield, has logged 280 million views since launching in 2008 -- and, by the time you've finished reading this, quite a few more.
Tofield is coming to the L.A. Times Festival of Books -- not for the videos, but for the "Simon's Cat" book series; the third volume, "Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos," is out April 16. The book includes a sheet of stickers, as well as a section teaching readers how to draw their favorite "Simon's Cat" characters. In it, Simon's cat meets his match: a new kitten found in a cardboard box. But does that really matter? It's Simon's cat, wordlessly doing more bug-eyed cat things.
Tofield will be at Family Bookstore on April 19 at 7:30 p.m. and at the L.A. Times Festival of Books on Saturday, April 20, at the 3:30 p.m. panel, "Feathers and Fur: Cute Animal Tales." We caught up with the award-winning animator and illustrator over email to ask about his dynamic with his own cats, and why most of us can't get through the day without watching a video of a cat staring at its own reflection in the mirror (just me?).

As the data volumes of our customers increase more and more often questions come up whether to run CHECKDB or when to run CHECKDB or how to run CHECKDB. Questions by customers usually get raised when the run time of CHECKDB more or less spawns most of the weekend and comes into conflict with other tasks like full online backup. When we look at our customer base, then we can see customers doing everything from running CHECKDB on production on a weekly basis over running it on a restored copy of production on a monthly basis to running CHECKDB in case of a storage issue only to (unfortunately) never running it. It all is dependent on the systems and resources customers have and to a degree the knowledge and expertise and budget available. But let's go step by step
Problem with running CHECKDB on large databases
CHECKDB reads all pages of tables and indexes in order to perform consistency checks on the format of the physical structure like pages and extents. It also checks the format of the content as well as allocation consistency and assignment consistency (does an index row point to the correct data row). For this purpose I/O bandwidth and CPU resources plus a bit of memory are used. If I restrict the # of CPUs for CHECKDB, the longer it will run. If I give it more resources, the more I am impacting my production due to its I/O workload and CPU consumption. So for a lot of customers it is difficult to find the sweet spot. Often enough keeping the workload going takes precedence and the throughput of a CHECKDB run lands somewhere in the 200-300GB/h. Looking at a 10TB database of which we have quite a few at our SAP customers, the run time becomes excessive. Sure one could run CHECKDB with the option 'PHYSICAL_ONLY' and restrict the number of checks to a subset around checking physical consistency of pages mainly. The reduced number of checks certainly would reduce the run time, but no the I/O workload since still every page needs to be read. Hence we need to find a concept which does minimizes the need for running CHECKDB on the one side, but still assures that physical damage to the page since it got stored on disk is detected not too long after the damage happened. For that we can apply a 3 step procedure
Step 1:
Only operate your SAP databases with the database option 'checksum' set. This is the default setting for all databases created on SQL Server 2005 and later SQL Server releases. Unless somebody who wanted to shave off a few CPU cycles didn't disable 'checksum', it is on. For database which got upgraded from SQL Server 2000, the 'checksum' option needs to be explicitly set as the database option. From the point on where this option is set, every page written to the database, contains a checksum in the database header, which was built reading the page. As soon as a bit on the page changes, the checksum wouldn't match with the content on the page anymore. Having the checksum option set, SQL Server will do this check with every read from the disk. If the page got physically damaged while on the media or in transfer, SQL Server would give an error. This all works for pages which get read frequently and which have a checksum (all pages which got changed since the move to SQL Server 2005 happened and the time checksum got enabled). For database which got upgraded from SQL Server 2000 or which got installed on later releases w/o enabling checksumming, there is no way from SQL Server side to check which pages since the change to checksumming got actually checksummed. Especially customizing tables in SAP databases are mostly read-only and hardly receive changes. Hence w/o any activity like export/import due to a Unicode migration or rebuild of all the indexes, there can't be certainty about every and each page being checksummed. As mentioned the case looks very different for SAP systems which got installed under default settings of SQL Server 2005 and later SQL Server Releases. But what about financial data of 9 months ago which only will be touched when the year-end reporting is running? This is where step #2 comes in
Step 2:
With the introduction of the database option 'checksum' in SQL Server 2005, the backup functionality also was extended to check the checksums of the pages which got written to the backup. Since the normal case is that our SAP customers even with largest databases execute at least one full database backup the week, there is a chance to check whether anyone of the pages got physically damaged. However this check is not enabled by default in anyone of the SQL Server releases SQL Server 2005, 2008 2008R2. The check needs to be enabled with the backup command. It can be seen here in a command I traced backing up a little test database:
BACKUP DATABASE [testl] TO DISK = N'c:test1_full.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'testl-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, CHECKSUM
When looking into the backup wizard, there is a checkbox which enables this option in the options tab of the backup wizard. What does this option exactly do? For every page which is pushed to the backup media, SQL Server calculates the checksum and compares it with the one in the header. Means the physical consistency of a page is getting checked. Usually the thing we worry most about. The rest of the checks as done by CHECKDB are not done. The checksum test during backup is automatically done when leveraging SQL Server 2008 backup compression. In that case it doesn't need to be specified separately anymore. Means with this step we get confirmation that bits didn't change since SQL Server calculated the checksum of a page and wrote it to disk. This should detect the most significant source of corruptions we encounter with customers. As another side effect enabling checksum in the backup, SQL Server builds a checksum over the whole backup. This again enables SQL Server in the verify or in the restore process to detect physical corruptions which happened after the data got written to the backup media.
Step 3:
With the two steps upfront physical corruption or damages of pages which occurred in the I/O path or in storage locations get detected in short time. The very rare issue of successfully persisting a page which got damaged in memory already however isn't detected. Sure CHECKDB does a lot of other checks which should be run from time to time, but the reason #1 of page content being changed transferring to the media or by an incident on the media got covered in step 1 and step 2. Now one can lower the frequency of CHECKDB on production to a longer period.
When to run CHECKDB as soon as possible?
CHECKDB should be run as soon as possible when storage problems came up. We had a customer a few days back where the SAN device literally crashed. They ran CHECKDB immediately after the SAN was up again and indeed detected issue in the table GLPCA where several pages were physically damaged. Other cases when CHECKDB should be run are cases where you see read and write errors reported in the Windows Event Viewer. Other triggers to run CHECKDB could be severe breaks and issues in the FC or iSCSI cabling or hardware.
More luxurious ways of performing CHECKDB
Some of our customers from the beginning opted for not running CHECKDB against the production system. Instead those customers perform a restore exercise every week or month against an older set of server hardware and storage. After the restore is finished they use that database to run CHECKDB against. Some of those customers use this system for the remaining time then as 'destructive testing' system. Or they use it to have SAP support looking at issues which they have in production, but which are not reproducible with the older dataset in the test system.
Some of our customers are using Database Mirroring. The mirror would give those customers the possibility to create a database snapshot on the mirror and run CHECKDB against the mirror. This is a fine thing and tells whether the mirror database is fine or not. However it doesn't give any indication on physical consistency of the principal database. Since SQL Server Database Mirroring only ships the change records to the mirror, eventual damages done to pages on the principal are not transferred to the mirror. This can be very different to Storage Replication where a category of damages could be transferred to the secondary data mirror.
Additionally SQL Server 2008 introduced automatic repair of damaged pages under the condition that synchronous database mirroring is used
Backup Verification
Another related issue to the topic is verifying backups not only when performing them (like with checksum), but when they are on the backup media. The only way to check whether a backup is restorable end-to-end is to restore it. In SQL Server we can perform a 'restore verifyonly' which tells us as much as the data on the backup media does fulfill the requirements in terms of formats. Restore verifyonly performs the same steps as a normal restore, except copying the bits and bytes of the restore to disk. Means fundamental functionalities around a backup device being readable, the device hardware being able to function is tested. As of the quality what is on the backup device format of extents and pages are checked as well. If 'backup with checksum' or backup compression was used, two different checks on checksums are executed as well. First check is the checksum on the backup stream. Second check is as during the backup to check the checksum on each page and compare it with the entry in the page header section. So this 'restore with verifyonly' option gives already pretty good indications whether a backup is restorable. But the ultimate test for restore is to execute a real restore. Not only that a real restore can give the staff some exercise or familiarity with the processes around a restore, it also gives some indication of timing and other things to take care of when restoring. What to do with the restored database? As I mentioned earlier, it could be used for running complete CHECKDB on it or perform exercises one wouldn't even dare to do in a development or test system.

Plot Sketch: Catrin's life as a simple farm girl changes drastically when events trigger powers she didn't know she had. She is shunned by many of those who know her and finds herself pursued by an army from the Greatland known as the Zjhon who are trying to kill her because of some ancient prophecy. She is forced to flee with a few people to help her along the way while she fights for her life and struggles to master the new powers that she has found. Her journeys take her to many places and through the discovery of many things that mankind has forgotten in order to master the power she has and save both those that she loves and those that want her dead.
Verdict: I Heart It. It was unique among a lot of the books I've read. It had good vs. evil and the people fall in love thing that happens in just about every fantasy book, but it played itself out a lot differently than most. His writing style is not going to be one for everybody because, well, you know how sometimes you're reading along and not paying attention and the story can still make sense? This isn't one of those books. You have to pay attention to every paragraph at least. He throws these little breaks into the chapters and it will switch to a different character and place completely, sometimes to characters that haven't even been introduced yet. You'll have a two-paragraph section that if just breezed over, something later in the story won't make sense. I thought it worked, but you have to pay attention. It's not one of those books that you'll be able to put down and come back to unless you want to start over again.
The Gauntlet:
At what location does most of the story take place?
The planet Godsland.
What is the main character's name?
Catrin Volker
Does Monster like the main character?
How long did it take Monster to finish the book?
4 days
Did Monster get stuck at any points in the book? If so, why?
No, but I could see how people could.
Is this a good read for I Heart Monster?
No. It's not really her genre.
What, if anything, would Monster change to make the book more interesting?
Probably nothing. Too much more interesting and it would be hard to follow!

The Most Renewable Resource in Business
I hear from therapists that they're concerned about leaving behind the benefits of an agency position even though they fear it is driving them toward burnout. But as you are reading this, I am in the West Fjords of Iceland. Taking paid vacation time.
I pay myself a salary now. Just like when I worked at an agency, but a lot more. Now I pay myself about twice what I was paid at the agency, while seeing about half the the clients. And I get paid time off, just like when I worked at an agency, except, I get 6 weeks of vacation–plus holidays… plus every Friday–and I don't have to ask anyone to approve the time for me. And I have a retirement plan, and contribute about ¼ of the value of my salary: above and BEYOND my salary.
This didn't happen because I filled up my schedule with more clients. And it didn't happened because I "saved" money by "getting by" without spending a lot on my practice. It happened because I changed nearly everything about the way I structured my business, which started with the way that I thought about investing in it. And my clients and I both benefit from the changes.
Here's how I used to think about how I should go about growing my practice:
I thought it was smart to use the resources I had at hand. And the resource that I thought I had was time: those hour slots between clients when my schedule wasn't full; the hour when my daughter was napping; the time after she went to bed, all of which I thought of as the time that I should be spending tumbling down the rabbit holes of the marketing world (i.e. building my own website that no one ever saw), or time that my husband should be spending helping me with my bookkeeping so that I didn't have to hire someone to help. Because that's what I perceived as the resource I was short on: money.
Finally, I realized I could continue to piddle away my time, but I wasn't going to get any of that back. "Investing" my time in self-taught, do-it-yourself business skills wasn't an investment.
Investments have a return.
And spending hours trying to "get by" with something to save money wasn't saving me money; it was wasting time. The longer I pushed my business goals back because I wanted to wait to get another client or I wanted to save up in order to invest – that was time I was losing, and really income too, but mostly it was the time. Money to invest in the business, I could get back.
Money is a renewable resource, but time isn't.
Now I know that my first move–putting chips on the table to say "I'm in"–was absolutely critical in starting my business's success. Are you in? Join me and the other therapists in the 6-month Group Intensive who are saying "yes, I am going to do this now. Enough delaying, now is the time."
Talk soon,

Isolation Tanks and Altered States
When I was 11 or 12 I happened to see the movie "Altered States" on TV and it made a big, weird impression on me. It was directed by the director Ken Russell, known for such freaky fare as The Who's "Tommy" and "Lisztomania". William Hurt plays a Harvard scientist who begins investigating the outer limits of consciousness by floating in an isolation tank, a water-filled box used to create nearly total sensory deprivation. Hurt's character, Dr. Eddie Jessup, discovers that lying in the isolation tank produces hallucinatory visions that seem to reach beyond conventional reality into other, more mystical dimensions of being. When he starts taking a potent hallucinogenic drug (something akin to yaje or peyote) before these "tank trips," things get far stranger, with the help of some cool, 2001-esque special effects; while regressing psychically to a state of primordial awareness, Jessup begins to regress physically as well, eventually taking on the form of an early hominid, busting out of the isolation tank, and going rampaging around the local zoo. Good stuff.
Upon discovering that the movie was based on a book of the same name by Paddy Chayefsky, I scampered to the library and checked it out. It proved to be a fine and fast read, and filled in many of the details that the movie, being a movie, couldn't really go into. It also made me want an isolation tank of my very own - yes, they're commercially available - but my parents weren't about to shell out for one.
In the 1950s and 60s a series of pioneering isolation tank experiments were conducted by John C. Lilly at the National Institutes of Health. Chayefsky clearly based much of "Altered States" on Lilly's accounts of these experiments, which you can read online and in his book "Tanks for the Memories" (oh, what a title). Like the fictional Dr. Jessup, Lilly used a hallucinogen (LSD) during a "tank trip"; here's how he described it: "That's when I learned that fear can propel you in a rocketship to far out places. That first trip was a propulsion into domains and realities that I couldn't even recount when I came back. But I knew that I had expanded way beyond anything I had ever experienced before, and as I was squeezed back into the human frame, I cried." A common theme in many tank experiences seems to be this sense of leaving the body behind and entering a vast metaphysical space where truths obscured by earthbound reality are revealed.
While Lilly never actually changed his physical form in a tank, he did recount the following anecdote about a colleague of his, Dr. Craig Enright: "While taking a trip with me here by the isolation tank, [he] suddenly 'became' a chimp, jumping up and down and hollering for twenty-five minutes. Watching him, I was frightened. I asked him later, 'Where the hell were you?' He said, 'I became a pre-hominid, and I was in a tree. A leopard was trying to get me. So I was trying to scare him away.'"
So if you ever invest in a tank of your own, remember to watch out for leopards.

"Every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain".
--Homer in Simpson
I can't agree with it more especially when I am experiencing it first hand. Nowadays, whatever I read/learn/talk, stays in my head for two days before bouncing off. You can call it effect of getting older, poor concentration, trying to handle too many tasks before dropping them all, you can pick whatever. I won't remember your choice after two days. I used to be pretty good in remembering stuff. I would retain class teachings in my head for a long time. Not only would I remember what the teacher taught but also her/his gestures and mannerisms. The main reason of why I loved imitating them at home and be an entertainment to my entire family. I never needed assistance in remembering my friend's birthdays or nick names.
But things have obviously changed.
Last week, I bumped into a nice girl with a very familiar face. She beamed at me and greeted me with my name. During the initial conversation, I figured out that I worked with her in one of my previous companies three years back but still could not recall her name. She, on the other hand had an elephantine memory. She remembered my colleagues and the group I worked for. Why she even remembered my personal email id!! I had to stop her there and ask her name. I was getting dizzy talking to a person who remembered so much about me while my brain was coming up with a blank screen when I inquired it who she was.
I heard learning art or language can help keeping brain young. I started taking Violin class again. Only drawback, I didn't remember everything I needed to practice. Once I told my teacher what I practiced at home only to realize that I practiced what was going to be taught that day!
The other day I got involved in daily chores that I completely ignored my stomach. I wound up the day's work and got ready to hit the bed when I heard rumbling. I had forgotten to eat and of course sleep never embraces an empty stomach.
I figured I need to do something about it. So I started jotting down "to-do" list daily. Now only if I can remember where the list is...

Excellent Article With Many Superb Advice About Acupuncture
When you have always wanted to learn the best way to benefit from acupuncture, this can be the chance! There are many benefits and excellent reasons to be involved in this technique, so take into account the subsequent advice. You may be already eager to get the first appointment scheduled without delay.
Before going to the acupuncture appointment, will not have a heavy meal. Smaller meals are perfect for preventing nausea or lightheadedness, but full meals ought to be avoided. The reason being simply because that people won't feel as comfortable laying whenever their stomach is full.
You don't have to tip your acupuncturist. These are generally experts who really should not be tipped. Tips are certainly not common practice.
Discover more about your neighborhood acupuncturists prior to deciding to select one. Recognize that all acupuncturists are not equal. You will find good ones and bad ones. Search for reviews created by clients and make contact with your neighborhood Better Business Bureau for several useful information on different practitioners. The better research you perform, the much better.
Be disciplined about your acupuncture plan.
You might find how the people you understand believe that what you're doing is silly. Popular pharmaceutical marketing strategies have a tendency to marginalize ancient practices. Stay on track and believe that you can expect to feel great.
Is the practitioner licensed by the state's health department? In the majority of states your doctor can only do acupuncture once they've taken a class upon it and get gotten a license. It's better should your acupuncturist has a degree and lots of experience.
Look for an acupuncturist whose treatments are covered by your wellbeing insurance policies. Should you proceed to figure out billing and insurance information ahead of time, you are going to simply have the capacity to focus on getting well in your appointments. This can facilitate more efficient treatment, as you can arrive in a relaxed state.
Wear clothing that is loose if you arrive for your appointment. Your acupuncturist will need to have easy access to the places they need to reach. Although you can remove clothing if possible, wearing loose clothing offers you the possibility to maintain your clothes on.
If you're enslaved by hitting the gym, you will possibly not wish to stop exercising the time you may have your session. There is absolutely no trouble with a small amount of exercise, but just take things easier than usual. When you usually take a run, try walking instead. Try to spend the morning relaxing all the as you possibly can.
We have seen reports that patients feel worse once therapy is over. This will not be a problem. Often times, symptoms go downhill before they get better. Talk to the practitioner you visit if things learn to take a turn for your worst and discover if you find anything you could do to heal just a little faster.
With this all great advice, you might be feeling ready to visit an acupuncturist. It's essential that you hold the basics down. You now should realize what your expectations should be, and so you could start reaping the rewards also..

I love dead people more than the average person. They never say no. They quietly subject themselves to listening. They'll give you the shirt off their back without question. If you think about it, they're quite lovely. Yet, I am deeply uncomfortable -- go figure -- with posthumous requests for friendship on Facebook and Twitter.
In college, I dated a guy named "George." I almost let him fuck me with a baggie over his cock because we didn't have a condom. As a result, he became memorable. When he friend requested me on Facebook, I accepted. Eager to find out what he'd been up to, if he got married, had kids, if he was still single and if he ever found himself, I checked his wall, only to discover that he was maybe, kind of, sort of... dead. I wasn't sure, so I emailed and asked.
Hey, George, Thanks for the friend request. Quick question, are you dead? I'm asking because your wall is littered in posts from friends alluding to your demise. Hit me back in spirit or via email. --Katie
When I opened George's email, I noticed that it was his email address.
Hi Katie, What a weird email to send, "Quick question, are you dead?" Is that really an appropriate thing to ask? If you must know, George is no longer with us. "Dick"
Right, I'm the weird one in this equation. We went back and forth via email a few more times.
Dick- How and when did George die? Katie
Katie- The family would prefer not to disclose how George died. The point of the Facebook wall is for friends to share their stories about George. Dick
I see, Dick, well, if I'm going to be friends with a stiff, I'd like to know how he peeled. After all, his junk did plunge into my vagina, so there's that. I'm happy to be friends with dead George; I just need to know how he died.
Here's the thing with me, if you tell me someone is dead, but not how they died, I'm like a dog with a bone, I NEED TO KNOW.
Katie- I can't believe George was friends with such a potty mouth! I will not tell you how he died! If you continue to ask, me/George will unfriend you! Dick
Aside from my grave disdain for excessive use of exclamation points (Generally, I'm an All Caps girl. Though, admittedly, I do commit literary adultery with exclamation points), how odd to assume that dead George would want to unfriend me. So, what? Dick's the authority on what dead George wants?!
Listen DICK- George wasn't a fucking saint. One of the things he loved about me was my outspokenness and ability to curse him under the table. Dead George would not unfriend me. Come to think of it--Dead George wouldn't even have a Facebook page. He HATED SOCIAL MARKETING. Furthermore, using his email address is beyond creepy. You're like . . . like dead George adjacent at best. Go ahead, unfriend me, see how dead George feels about that.
Instead of unfriending me, Dick posted about me on dead George's wall, implying that I was a troll. To say that I was incensed was an understatement. HE FRIENDED ME. I was boiling, and wrote an epithet on dead George's wall saying as much. Within minutes, all of dead George's friends, including dead George's DEAD FATHER, cursed me three ways to Sunday.
So, here's the deal, if you're dead, do me a solid, don't friend me.
