I have been reading through Robyn Page's SQL Server Cursor Workbench and she has an example of a "quirky update" like so...
Create tables used.
Now for the quirky update
Now why is that a better way of doing things than just taking the original

Ian Roke
It is better because it is faster by several orders of magnitude. Just look at the data, and the graph at the end of the section http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/learn-sql-server/robyn-pages-sql-server-cursor-workbench/#fourth And you'll see that the triangular join was so slow we couldn't even perform the test when there was a decent number of rows. It doesn't scale

(I tried to make this a comment to Jeff's answer, but it is too long)
Jeff makes good points, and there are times when a quirky update is appropriate. As he mentioned, it tends to be faster than most other solutions and uses only T-SQL.
But I counsel caution before using it. Remember that even if you are fully comfortable with "Black Arts" coding, in many organizations the person who maintains the code you write is likely to not be you, or at least not always you for the whole time it is in production. The next person probably will not understand it fully, so if you do use it, I suggest commenting it excessively.
Also, remember this is not part of the SQL Standard. This means nothing if you are using SQL Server only, but I try to use standards compliant code unless there is a good reason not to.
This is a perfectly valid technique that will work consistently if you write it correctly, and is very unlikely to be changed in a mere service pack (and fairly unlikely to be changed in any major release in the near future). Still, it is one that is hard for many people to understand and it is not standards compliant, and those are reasons to judge carefully if it is worth using.

To remove an authenticator from your account you have to enter two, sequential authenticator codes, not the authenticator serial number.
The only way to remove an authenticator from an account without physical access to the working authenticator would be through account recovery.
Blizzard does recommend that you remove the Mobile Authenticator from your account before upgrading it or replacing your mobile phone, because the seed key (serial number) may change when the software app is installed (it WILL change in the case of a new phone).

Veterans To Be Honored At City Ceremonies [1]
City to observe two minute moment of silence, tributes by service personnel at Veteran's Day ceremonies.
Sponsored By:
The City of
will host a Veteran's Day ceremony honoring our country's veterans and military
families at Tuesday at the
in Old Town Newhall. This ceremony will provide residents an opportunity to
join friends and neighbors in supporting our veteran's sacrifices and courage.
"To me, Veteran's Day means honoring my military brothers
and sisters who have dedicated a large part of their lives to protect our
country and its quality of life," said Duane Harte, U.S. Navy Ret. and member of the Veteran's Historical Memorial committee. "Specifically
it's a remembrance of my Navy father and Army Air Corps father-in-law. It's
also a time to remember many friends who were shipped home from
currently serving in our military in both domestic and foreign posts."
As a sign of respect for the millions who have died in war,
the Santa Clarita Veteran's Day Ceremony will begin with a two minute moment of
silence. Following the moment of silence, the ceremony will continue with the
changing of the flags which will be done by the Knights of
Santa Clarita Assembly and representatives from various armed services
recruiting offices.
"On Veterans day, the city will be honoring our veterans and members of
the Armed Forces as well as their families at the Veteran's
recognize the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom,"
said Mayor Bob Kellar.
Music for the ceremony will be provided by local favorites Megan Mills, Trish
Lester, and members of the
Mayor Bob Kellar, who served in the Army, Father Olin Mayfield of St. Clare
Catholic Church, who is a a former Navy chaplain, Dick Jeffrey of the Santa
Clarita Valley Veteran's Memorial Committee, Rabbi Mark Blazer and Councilwoman
Laurene Weste.

The football season is never over. Teams are now allowed to use their franchise tag, and in about 3 weeks free agency will start. This is the most excited I have ever been for a free agency period. The dolphins have a chance to land many free agent super stars.
I can't see Miami using the franchise this year. Sean Smith, is not a $10 million corner. He is asking crazy money, I have no idea who would give him that kind of money. The other reasonable option for the Dolphins is to tag Jake Long. Is it a possibility? Yes. Will it happen? I'm not too sure. Over the last four years the Dolphins have realized that they need to spend the big money on play makers, not lineman. Yes Long is a great player, but when healthy. The Dolphins will most likely use the draft to rebuild the line.
I am starting to hear a great deal of chatter about the possibility of Mike Wallace being the Phins number one target. He's young, and a very good receiver. He would help Tannehill grow into a good quarterback. But they need more then one receiver. Brian Hartline or Greg Jennings would be the top two choices for the Dolphins to look at. Jennings was a great receiver for the packers, but has a problem with injuries. He may be 29, but still producing. At 29 Jennings could still have atleast 3 more very good years.
Hartline, on the other hand, is the better choice. He had a great season, even being double teamed almost every down. With Wallace drawing more double teams Hartline will only get better. He is cheaper then Jennings and is already on the Same page as Tannehill. The receiving core of Bess, Hartline and Wallace would be very scary for years to come. All being very young.
If Both Hartline and Wallace get the deals they want it would cost about 17 million against the cap. That would leave about 30 million left. With 30 million Miami could fill many more needs this offseason.

Vote of the week: What should replace Jaws at Universal Orlando?
Written by Robert Niles
We've been having a great conversation on what will replace Jaws at Universal Studios Florida. Go take a look at that post if you haven't yet, because we're going to put some of those options up for a vote.Tweet
Last bite's on January 2, 2012, so ride now if you don't want to miss it.
Here are our four top options (IMHO):
Harry Potter's London: The hot Internet rumor. A Google Map analysis shows a straight shot from the Jaws site through Universal's backstage area to the current Harry Potter expansion zone, which will consume the Sindbad theater in Islands of Adventure. Guests could travel from the London-themed Harry Potter zone in USF to the Hogsmeade zone in IOA via "Hogwarts Express" trains that would be fitted with electronic "windows" projecting countryside scenes, freeing Universal from the expensive proposition of razing and theming its backstage areas.
Madagascar: A Crate Adventure: This would bring the family-friendly, high-capacity boat ride from Singapore to the United States, taking advantage of the water infrastructure already in place for the Jaws ride. There'd still have to be signficant flume and show building construction to make this happen.
Skull Island boat ride, with King Kong 360:3D Orlando-area fans have been wanting their own version of the new Kong ever since it opened on the USH Studio Tour last year. At one minute, it's too short to be a stand-alone attraction, but it'd make a great highlight within a Skull Island-themed boat ride, using the Jaws infrastructure.
Transformers: The Ride Like Harry Potter, this wouldn't use any of the Jaws infrastructure, but would keep Orlando from being left out from enjoying Singapore and Hollywood's new toy. Universal Creative's Thierry Coup's ruled this out for Orlando, given its similarity to Spider-Man, but left the door open for popular demand to change Universal's mind.
So, which option would you like to see? And if you've got a write-in candidate, please describe it in the comments.
Readers' Opinions
From Caroline Davis on December 9, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Harry Potter or something else. All the others are completely unappealing to me.
From Mike Gallagher on December 9, 2011 at 4:31 PM
I'm not big on Kong itself, but the Skull Island boat ride holds some appeal for me.
From 22.214.171.124 on December 9, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Ugh, please not Potter! It would be overkill.
From Roger Shurp on December 9, 2011 at 8:41 PM
Harry Potter London, is a great idea, though I agree that it would be a bit overkill.
And another thing. NO MORE 3D RIDES OR RIDES THAT REQUIRE SCREENS. Universal already has so many, I would prefer a ride that uses actual scenery.
So what should replace the Jaws ride? This:
---> Portal Theme Park Ride <--- From the games Portal and Portal 2 by Valve.
From Andy Milito on December 9, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Universal, please don't overkill HP. It's a fantastic theme, but don't milk it.
I want my Super 8 ride, gosh darn it!
From 22.214.171.124 on December 9, 2011 at 8:54 PM
The Lord of the Rings and the hobbit, i believe it will attract all the fantasy crowd that does not like harry potter. kong and transformers are ok too, just
keep harry at IOA and give as a new world to inmerse as in
From Dominick D on December 9, 2011 at 9:21 PM
I voted other, because I want Nintendo Studios. Anyways, I've decided I'm probably not renewing my AP because of Universal's stupid moves.
From 184.108.40.206 on December 9, 2011 at 9:37 PM
im shocked that 39% want more potter, as i already said i would love LOTR but im willing to take transformers or kong, just no more harry, it seems im in the minority
From Eric Malone on December 9, 2011 at 10:14 PM
I'd rather have Transformers, frankly.
From Robert Niles on December 9, 2011 at 10:27 PM
To the most recent anonymous comment - this is why I think it interesting to do the votes, and not simply let the consensus be formed by the comments. We often get interesting results like this one.
From 188.8.131.52 on December 9, 2011 at 11:16 PM
Why doesn't Universal just transform the rest of The Lost Continent no one cares about into Harry Potter? Sinbad could become a live Harry Potter stunt show, and Poseidon's Fury could become the chamber of secrets.
From Manny Rodriguez on December 10, 2011 at 12:29 AM
I chose the king kong boat ride it holds speak to me but I just got a sudden rush of ideas what if kong boat ride would be in JPRA I
Mean they have the dinos just put More animtronics and make it fast pased and not slow and replace the t Rex for king kong seems pretty obvious to me as in national lampoon christmas vk well you know Clark its the gift that keeps on giving The whole year yes edward yes it is
From Nick Markham on December 10, 2011 at 7:25 AM
The Harry Potter idea is a joke. Even if they were to connect the two lands, what, are they going to just let people from USF into IOA for free or vice versa?
From Shane Malaski on December 10, 2011 at 8:04 AM
They could easily have some sort of ticket scanner to enter the ride to IOA and back. Just think of how Universals does their fastpass they make everyone get out their tickets for that.
Also the London area doesnt have to be all Harry Potter. Is there any other London movies or themes that could make good attractions as well.
From Daniel Etcheberry on December 10, 2011 at 12:04 PM
King Kong fighting the Decepticons in London.
From Robert Niles on December 10, 2011 at 12:45 PM
...And we have a winner.

If in fact Universal were to connect IOA & USF with some type of Harry Potter attraction, has anybody given any thought to the idea of Universal scrapping their individual park ticket option and just offering one big ticket for both parks, no matter if you want to hop back & forth or not? Of course, this would involve a higher ticket price, but it would certainly eliminate entry issues & ticketing concerns when riding on say... the Hogwarts Express between parks. (How many people really buy a single-park ticket now, anyway?)

Nintendo..... again? I think someone has an obsession. I think the Jaws replacement will use the water in some way. As we all know, they like to re-theme rides.
In either case, it will be a year or two before the new attraction is finished and the HP expansion could take a couple years as well.
I voted Transformers. Seeing as Spiderman is my favorite ride, I would love to be able to see a new experience based on the same concept in the sister park.
From Anthony Murphy on December 10, 2011 at 6:07 PM
I think they were a little bit hasty about getting rid of King Kong. I think it could fit with the whole "Adventure Theme" of the Mummy and Disaster.
Then again, I think that Jaws was partially did in because the ride was tough to upkeep. I would think they wouldn't want to keep the general infrastruture
Perhaps a Universal Adventureland?
From Dominick D on December 10, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Hey I just thought of something: It could be the upcomiong Battleship movie. First off, it's by Universal. Second, it's in water (duh!). Also to the record, I am a die-hard Nintendo fan. I'm not a fanboy, but I definatly hate Playstation, as they always steal Nintendo and Microsoft's ideas.
From Brandon Mendoza on December 10, 2011 at 10:39 PM
I'm not even gonna comment at how incorrect that comment about Playstation is... each company has their strengths and weaknesses.
That being said I would actually like if they got a new Jaws ride and not Transformers. I'm a fan of the Harry Potter films, but I don't think it will be expanded to USF.
From Manny Rodriguez on December 10, 2011 at 10:49 PM
how dare you say PS sucks?!?!?!!!!! First off it's not better than xbox but sure is a competator and infamous is exclusive to PS3 ,xbox or wii does not have that and, wii has family games and if they have m games than expect low graphics and boring and horrible, game play but I have to say xbox360 is pretty good well awesome but PS has 3 systems all were great hits but xbox has 2 I'm stopping here i might look really nerdy

Roger, a Portal ride would be amazing, considering Portal and Portal 2 are my favorite games, but I voted for Transformers just because I'm such a fan, but I don't see it happening.
From 220.127.116.11 on December 11, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Alright I voted for Harry Potter/London, and I think the other person has a point. You could tie alot of different movies into London like the classic horror films also you could put a ride/attraction in for Werewolfs in London (aging myself but still) The old horror movies like Frankenstein or Frankenstien (Young Frankenstein). I think it fits in well with the park's theme. They could add the train linking the two parks and in the train station in London have you go into a secret passage 9 1/2 and just leave the rest as London and do something totally different than HP.
From Robert Niles on December 11, 2011 at 4:11 PM
I pretty certain that if Universal were to build a London Harry Potter land, it would be contractually prohibited by Warner Bros./JK Rowling from putting any other IP in that land.
From guillermo diaz on December 11, 2011 at 6:34 PM
Hello Robert, im a new member :) i just found out about this website and im loving it... about the subjet, i believe universal learned something with potter about what an important franchise can do in terms of attendance numbers; also the amity area is too big to just put the transformers ride alone, potter will also stay on IOA; so it is my prediction that we will see a whole area based on another big franchise, i want LOTR (i know its a very long shot), i hope we will find out soon, the suspence is killing me. thanks and sorry if my english is not good (im from Argentina)
From Roger Sage on December 11, 2011 at 9:41 PM
I agree that Potter in both IOA and Universal Studios Florida would just be overkill. An interesting ride could be a Scott Pilgrim vs The World attraction. The material in that universe can easily make a thrilling and entertaining ride.
From 22.214.171.124 on December 11, 2011 at 10:13 PM
I chose something else because universal needs more horror rides year round i believe they should replace it with sort of a freddy v.s. Jason thing like one half have crystal lake and another have elm street but the main attraction is a ride that combines the two and should be like dueling dragons but not exactly like it...... No potter because we already have it in island of adventure no madagascar we have to many kids rides.....we meed something for the horror fanatics!
From Anon Mouse on December 12, 2011 at 12:36 AM
I would think King Kong would not be a choice. Didn't they remove the previous version for The Mummy? So this leave another possible boat ride like Madagascar, but I'm not so sure. There's nothing WOW in terms of how audiences will change their perception of Universal Studios.
Harry Potter London will be the best choice, but who know if they have anything better in mind. They already announced The Transformers will not arrive.
From 22.214.171.124 on December 12, 2011 at 1:36 AM
Hi guys, I thought it was about time I registered. I've been visiting TPI for the last year now and never got round to registering on the site.
In my honest opinion being British I love Potter, I had it read to me when I was younger and then carried on reading the books and watching the films as I grew up, so yes I am a huge fan. But, I do agree with a lot of people that it would be overkill to have Potter in both parks,I mean seriously they could redesign the rest of the lost continent as has been speculated in the past if they wanted more space for Potter.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to see Universal's take on London and be able to ride the Hogwarts Express (riding it between the two parks would be a pretty fun experience) I'd also love to visit diagon alley. But, I do think it would be rather cool if Universal could do a new ride for Orlando to replace Jaws with. I don't know what and as much as I'd love to ride the new Kong ride, I just personally think that a new experience in the park would be nice
From 188.8.131.52 on December 12, 2011 at 1:37 AM
I don't know what happened there, but on a side note what's going to happen to Mythos if they retheme the lost continent???
From duncan henny on December 12, 2011 at 2:59 AM
i know i suggested that kong could replace jaws but the rest of amity would also need re-themed. i know this is speculation but i think it will be harry potter london as someone said on the universal facebook page that they heard from two people they know that work in universal that it will be hp london(potter phase 2) whether they are telling truth or not i don't know.
why i think it will be potter is hogsmeade has been built and universal said it would be a significant expansion, amity could be made into muggle london (as universal already have san francisco/new york/hollywood areas and this could fit. as islands has seen a big boost of attendance it would mean the same for studios because in the long term harry potter will be around for a very long time and has a huge fan base
From Rob P on December 12, 2011 at 4:24 AM
The KIng Kong idea appeals to me. I thought it was a bad move to ditch the original Kong ride.......even though I can't knock The Mummy.
I'm not too pleased to see Jaws go either but if they had to get rid of it then I think the return of Kong might just soften the blow a little.
I'm not against having part of the ride indoors with a 3D element so long as they have a decent outdoor section which could even utilise the existing water area.
From Ben Reeves on December 12, 2011 at 4:31 AM
I think Kong would be good. But, I do think that a completely new experience would also be good for Universal Orland, I'm not sure what this could be though.
From guillermo diaz on December 12, 2011 at 7:27 AM
I love the horror idea with jason and freddy at the helm, but i do not see it happening, if you are going to close something as jaws you have to come out with something bigger, and universal knows this; as much as i love vorghees and krueger i do not believe are big enought. Just to add to the videogame discussion, no nintendo, no PS, give me xbox :)
From 184.108.40.206 on December 12, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Please keep Harry Potter and anything and everything that has to do with him at IOA. Universal needs to focus on getting a huge franchise into the USF. I'm thinking Cybertron (Transformers).
From guillermo diaz on December 12, 2011 at 9:37 AM
The mistery is killing me, i hope they do the right thing this time ( no potter ), i still cant forgive them for back to the future
From Mike Gallagher on December 12, 2011 at 11:00 AM
As a fan of Jason, and..to a far lesser extent...Freddy, something involving those two iconic characters would appeal to me. I may be wrong, but I don't believe Universal has the rights to those properties.

text: Aug 06, 2013 Turn your AC9 into an Auto Dripper The first thing you may notice about the above image is that you can't see a wick. That's because there isn't one. Not in the traditional sense at least. All you can see in the tank is about a milliliter of Vanilla Blackberry Swirl from Virgin Vapor (which is amazing btw). Taking off the top-cap reveals what's going on. That puffy substance nestled in the 1.4 Ohm coil is cotton. From a cotton ball, a sterile cotton ball. So how does it work? Really well. I was quite astonished actually. That little amount of cotton holds over a milliliter of juice, and it saturates the coils with e-liquid better than any SS mesh I've ever used. This results in VERY thick vapor, and the best flavor I've ever experienced. The best part is, its EASY! And I mean really easy, to set up. SS mesh can be difficult at times, even for the most experienced genesis users, and sometimes the wicks just refuse to oxidize properly. When you get it right, it works really well. But when it's wrong, it's a really bad experience. I've found that setting up a cotton ball "wick" on a genesis to be even easier than setting one up on a RDA. There's more room to work, and to me the AC9 posts are easy to work with. And beyond that, a genesis atty has a tank, a dripper doesn't of course. With the AC9, the wick hole (and more importantly the fill hole) is large enough for juice to travel through it. The fill hole size allows air to enter the tank, preventing a vacuum which would hold the juice in the tank rather than letting it travel to the cotton. So while this works really well on an AC9, it may not work so well on an RBA with a smaller wick hole and smaller fill hole. The first time I tried this, I used a longer, thin piece of cotton and worked it down into the tank; essentially making a genesis wick out of twisted cotton. But I found that the capillary wicking of the cotton is not very good. It holds a ton of juice, but juice doesn't travel through it as quickly as say SS mesh; especially when the cotton is crammed into the wick hole (it's tight so the fibers are really too close together which is bad for capillary action). So I decided to use a small piece of cotton that was just sitting into the wick hole, then when you tilt the atomizer juice runs up the wick hole and re-wets the cotton. Essentially making it an auto-dripper. It worked beautifully. Here's how I set it up: Start with some Kanthal, I use 28 AWG kanthal. I like 28 gauge because it allows for more wraps per a given resistance, which increases the surface area of the coil, which produces more vapor. You can't really wrap a coil around cotton (it's too flexible and soft), well you can but it's ugly and difficult to control what resistance you'll end up with. So use a drill-bit or screw-driver or something similar. Try to find something that is roughly the same size as the wick hole. I used a 9/64 drill-bit shaft (3.5mm). Then wrap your coil as tightly as you can manage. Try to keep your wraps as close together as possible. The coils will expand once you take it off the shaft and you don't want a large spring. Next, get a small screwdriver (or anything with a small enough shaft to fit through the wick hole), and position your coil above the wick hole securing the leads to the posts. If you use something that is too small your coil will warp, so try to use something that is just small enough to fit through the hole. A Phillips head screwdriver with a 1/8th inch shaft works well. Don't worry if your coil isn't even or pretty, or if your leads are stretched a bit. This would cause hot-spots with SS mesh, but with cotton it's fine. The cotton expands quite a bit, especially when wet, so it will make good contact with the coils as long as they're reasonably concentric. Next get some cotton. I use medical cotton balls, they're sterile so you don't have to worry about anything being on the cotton. You don't have to boil anything off, they're clean, thus the designation sterile. Slowly pull off some cotton from the ball, twisting as you pull. The twist will hold the cotton together. Once you have enough pull the piece off. You should have a piece that looks similar to this: Then you can work your small piece into a wick shape at the base by twisting it further until it looks like it will fit through your coil. Twist it down into the coil, twisting the same direction that you twisted the cotton so that the cotton piece holds together and moves down inside the coil. Keep moving it down until it is into the wick hole. When your done it should look like this: Make sure the cotton is touching the coils at every point. You may have to fluff the cotton a little with a thin piece of wire. If you twist the cotton back the other way (opposite direction from when you twisted it down into the coil) it will expand and loosen up the twist. That will give you better contact with the coil and also improve wicking. When you're satisfied, trim the top with some scissors. That's all there is to it. Now all you have to do is drip some juice onto the cotton, making sure you get the cotton inside the coil really saturated, and fill the take if you want. If you're just tasting a juice you don't have to fill the tank obviously. When you want to change the wick, all you have to do is pull out the cotton and insert a new piece, you don't ever have to move the coil. It's that easy. When you're done it should look like this: Hope you guys try this, it's super easy and works better than anything I've ever tried. -Brent

EXCLUSIVE: Read Liv's Lips
Liv Tyler has been in the limelight for most of her life. The daughter of Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler and seventies model/singer Bebe Buell, the statuesque brunette with the impossibly ivory skin started modeling when she was 14 and transitioned into acting three years later. But it's not a specific film or tear sheet that she's most proud of. That honor goes to her long-standing contract with Parfums Givenchy. Over the past nine years, Tyler has hawked everything from fragrance to foundation for the French brand—and even lent her impressive pipes to a cover of INXS's "Need You Tonight" to promote its Electric Rose scent. "My whole life, since I was a little girl, all I ever thought I would do is be a singer," Tyler tells us as we sit in her living room, having a quick chat before she jets off to do a public appearance. After just 15 minutes, however, it becomes clear that her true calling just might be cosmetics.
Clad in a black Marni cashmere sweater and a pair of tuxedo pants, Tyler is getting ready to promote Givenchy's latest Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick at Sephora, a launch that has special meaning to her. "He made it for me," she explains of Givenchy artistic director of makeup Nicolas Degennes' latest creation, a black lipstick that looks pure obsidian at first glance but applies with just a hint of a mulberry stain. Liv's Lips, as the bullet is appropriately called, is part of Degennes' holiday collection, but it was originally a prototype just for Tyler that she insisted go into production. "I've always loved sheer berry stains," she explains, reminiscing about an early lipstick addiction to Clinique's Black Honey, which compelled Degennes to create the product for her as a gift. "I went through one in a month—it's like crack," she jokes, elaborating on how she requested a whole box of the black bullets the next time she saw Degennes.
The interesting, gel-like pigment casts a slightly dark shadow with an inadvertent plumping effect we notice as makeup artist Matin Maulawizada applies it to Tyler's famous mouth, adding multiple swipes of Givenchy's Noir Couture Mascara to her lashes and a few dabs of its Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip & Cheek Balm—another Tyler favorite. Running off a short list of other makeup must-haves, Liv insists that she's really more of a skincare junkie. "I believe in exfoliation," she deadpans, explaining that she'll use a mitt at least once a day or every other day to slough away dead cells and let her skin naturally regenerate. "My grandmother taught me at a very early age to take care of my skin," she continues, revealing other complexion tips, including masks, which she tries to do three times a week. "I alternate them," she says of a collection of Mario Badescu tubes and tubs that she applies before slipping into a steaming hot bath—or dancing around the kitchen in her beautiful home in New York, where she's been spending more concentrated time recently.
"I'm being Milo's mom," Tyler says when the conversation turns to what she's working on at the moment. Having just wrapped production on a small project in L.A., the 35-year-old is taking a break to spend more time with her eight-year-old son with Spacehog front man Royston Langdon. That doesn't mean she's not still thinking about that next big part, though. "I love television as a medium," she says, pointing out that the small screen holds an allure for her as an actor—and has offered up plenty of, er, research opportunities of late. "I've been watching a lot of [it]," Tyler says, disclosing a newfound addiction to the ABC musical drama, Nashville. "Some of the songs in it are actually really good!" she contends. In the meantime, there's always beauty. "I've thought about doing a skincare line," Tyler reveals as she traces on another coat of her namesake pout perfector and prepares to head out the door—an idea we would 100 percent get behind.

Weird guilt after injury…is this a thing?
So, today I feel better than I have since, well, BEFORE I had my horrible hand accident. Physically better, I mean. But OMG. For some reason about an hour ago I just suddenly started feeling (a) guilty, and (b) like there was something I am supposed to do, or to remember to do, but can't.
And now I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it, and WTF it is. Because it's annoying. It feels like whatever I do is the wrong thing to be doing. I can do way more now than I could a week ago, and with a lot less pain. But I can't do everything normally (for me) yet either. And something about this is making me feel weirdly…hurried and like I'm about to get in trouble. WTF.

Furniture, electronics, kitchen gadgets. People looking for bargains have always shopped Big Lots for that kind of merchandise -- now and then.
But now and then isn't often enough for the Columbus-based discounter. So the chain has added groceries -- to attract new customers and encourage longtime shoppers to visit more frequently.
"Five years ago, I wouldn't have predicted everyone getting into food," said Chris Boring, principal of Boulevard Strategies, a Columbus-based retail-consulting firm. "It's pretty low (profit) margin."
But everyone seems to be doing it. From Wal-Mart and Target to stores like Family Dollar and Dollar General, discount retailers of all sizes have expanded their grocery aisles.
"What we, along with others, like about the category is that grocery and consumables bring repeat business on a more-frequent basis than furniture or seasonal items," said Tim Johnson, CFO and senior vice president of Big Lots. "We like the foot traffic of what consumables bring."
The biggest retailer of them all, Wal-Mart, long has known the advantage that groceries bring. In the 1980s, when the retailer first began opening locations that included groceries and other services, it found that sales volumes at those locations averaged $1 million a week, five times the sales at its regular stores.
Seeing such growth in sales, other retailers have begun looking at groceries, too. Even a retailer as unlikely as Bed, Bath & Beyond has been testing specialty foods, said Matt Wilson, who covers retail for SBC Advertising.
"It's a good complement to their dominant single-serve coffee and SodaStream business, food-storage units, food scales, etc.," Wilson said. "It's the 'Beyond' of their brand. ... Customers get it."
Target also has been remodeling its stores in the past few years, increasing its grocery offerings by almost 50 percent. One reason, Boring said, is that online sales aren't yet diluting that category.
The advantage that brick-and-mortar stores have also can extend to their location. Some discount stores -- particularly dollar stores -- are in so-called "food desert" areas, poorer neighborhoods where convenience stores are really the only other alternative for buying food.
"Most convenience stores are notorious for having high prices," Boring said. "Dollar stores have locations that are more local to neighborhoods but also have low prices. So, someone shopping at, say, Target or Walmart might stop in a dollar store and pick up groceries to last the rest of the week until their regular grocery trip -- and they don't have to worry about exorbitant prices."
That's especially important to those on government food assistance, Johnson said.
To serve those consumers, Big Lots is aware that "there are certain categories you have to cover," Johnson said. "Things like bread, eggs, dairy-related." That's why a retailer that gets into groceries has to decide, sooner or later, whether to install coolers and freezers.
Big Lots has been studying that issue carefully in the past year or so. But such a move comes with risks.
"It is more difficult to execute from an operational standpoint," Johnson said. Dealing with food means that store managers have to be "very disciplined about controls." That means watching for expiration dates and moving old merchandise off shelves.
"The last thing we want is for our customers to find out-of-date stock on our shelves."
That's important, Wilson said, because discount stores don't necessarily have a reputation for offering food. "You have to double your effort to tell customers they can rely on products in this category."
Just making sure that the same food is in stock all the time is something that presents a special challenge to discounters, particularly those known for ever-changing array of merchandise.
To answer that concern, Big Lots has joined other retailers in introducing a "house" brand, in this case, Fresh Finds. It's a good way to help the retailer differentiate itself from the competition, Boring said, as is a move to carry smaller packages of food items.
"That appeals to smaller households and those who are budget-conscious," Boring said.
With so many reasons to go into consumables, it probably is no surprise that it has become the fastest-growing segment of the "value" retail industry over the past decade.
But the expiration date on that growth might be near.
As stores add grocery items, which by their nature have low profit margins, retail chains are expected to face increased difficulty making money.
And, with the pinch of the recession still present in many households, consumers still have a tendency to stick with the "must-have" grocery items. And that is likely to keep them headed toward the traditional grocery store and not the discounters, where they face the temptation of discretionary items.
"Food is a tough business to be in if you are relying on an impulse purchase from core customers who rely on you for something else," Wilson said. "Are you going to buy 2 percent milk at JCPenney? Probably not. In the end, (retailers) have to ask the hard question about adding food to their lineup: Is it just a push to increase sales by adding another category, or is it really a category customers give you permission to own?"

I have been reading a lot about lucid dreaming lately and practiced in on several occasions. It's a lot of fun and I find it fascinating. However, whenever I get these episodes, I cannot control them at all, other than try to relax and let it pass.
I've been successful at "spinning" within dreams to change them or get out of them, but whenever I try doing that with these episodes, I feel like I'm going to get out of body experience and the ringing in my ears gets louder.
I've started a dream journal not long ago... Maybe this has something to do with it, as I'm always expecting dreams. Maybe, preoccupying my mind instead of trying to get good night's sleep. Just a thought...
That makes sense. One of the difficulties with lucid dreaming is maintaining the dream state once you become lucid, rather than waking up. If you continue with lucid dreaming, consider this to be an occasional side effect. If/when you've been doing it a while, it will probably not bother you much when it happens, or you'll be better at exerting lucid control to deal with the disorientation.
Yep, that makes sense too. Lucid dreaming - too good to be side effect free. LOL
I do recall in one episode seeing my husband asleep next to me, and I was desperate, trying to call to him - to wake him up, to wake me up... Couldn't say a word though.
Yeah, definitely does feel like you could die. That's so scary!
The first time I ever heard of sleep paralysis, it was in this vein. Someone at my then-church (Pentecostal Church of God) said they woke up in the middle of the night, and there was a red mist swirling through the room, and it was pushing her down. After a couple of minutes of prayer, it was gone. She then called for a big prayer meeting in her bedroom to exorcise the demon.
I can relate to this. I'm not able to confirm what I seen exactly but in my room which is very well lit I saw a shadow standing over me as I laid face down. I am known for sleeping with my eyes open but I'm just not sure if what I saw was really there with me or if it was a dream. What I do remember was trying really hard to breathe, after I couldn't I tried to move, scream, and it was all impossible. This was the first of many experiences I've had like this, I used to think it had to do with me laying face down but to my surprise it happened also as I sat down in my living room.
I didn't know there was a name to this effect or that anyone else felt anything like it.
Thats what happened to me.
First time it happened I remember thinking i was waking up, but there was something else halfway in my body with me, trying to take it over, and i couldnt get back into myself to move.
Damn my imagination!! haha.
I faintly remember seeing myself and "it", over my body as if in a struggle.
It was terrifying.
Its bloody awful!! And something hard to not remember. I hope your ok now
I'm ok... thought about it all day though and had trouble going to bed lol... I told my husband to make sure I'm not sleeping on my back at least. And that my face's not covered...
Definitely haven't been more scared in my life. I recall having an even scarier episode... I was on top of the bed, standing. I felt like I could see myself asleep if I looked down, but was too freaked out to even attempt it. I did see my husband asleep though, and as much as I tried yelling for him, no words came out. I was banging against the bed post and the wall with my fists, trying to wake myself up, jumping up and down with no success. I tried walking out of the bedroom and would find myself on top of the bed again. Literally thought I was dying. This one was even longer, possibly over a minute, or at least that's what it felt like. When I finally woke up, I was sobbing and have never felt more alive.

Supertramp's "Breakfast In America" was the biggest selling album in the world in 1979. It spawned several hit singles and went on to
win two Grammy Awards and sell in excess of 20 million copies. Following the album's release Supertramp embarked on a 10 month
world tour which arrived in Paris at the end of November. This show from the Pavillon de Paris was both filmed and recorded. The audio

from the original 16mm film, this footage is available to Supertramp's legion of fans worldwide. The sound has been remixed by original
sound engineer and co-producer Pete Henderson from the original multi-tracks and can now be heard in Dolby 5.1. This is a legendary show
by a legendary band performing at their absolute peak and is a must for any Supertramp fan. Cover, booklet and disc scans included.

Author Dana Adam Shapiro undertook the writing of his new book You Can Be Right (or You Can Be Married), in which he catalogues the personal stories of divorced people, because the never-married, serial monogamist wanted some solid intel on what factors make relationships go kaboom. Through knowledge of those failures, he hoped to come away with some sense of what makes love endure.
"I set out to live vicariously through the romantic tragedies of others," writes Shapiro in the introduction to You Can Be Right , "hoping to glean some wisdom from the wreckage and to ultimately become so fluent in such failure that I would be able to avoid it in my own love life."
Also see:

- What your guy's cooking says about your relationship
After interviewing hundreds of people, he realized he'd created something more than a catalogue of failures, however - paradoxically, he'd written a book about love.
Here are five tips on how to make love last from Shapiro and his work:
1. Be yourself
Save yourself the heartache and the lawyer bills: don't pretend to be cooler, sexier and more casual then you really are with anyone you anticipate spending more than 20 minutes of your life with. In short, own your imperfections and don't "airbrush yourself," writes Shapiro, who says he interviewed many people who felt they'd compromised on who they were so much to keep a relationship going that they "woke up seven years later without an identity."
"Be yourself as quickly as possible," he says on the phone from his home in Venice, Calif. "Figure out your character and own it."
If that means you want to get married and have kids, say it. If that means you don't, say that too. Be wildly and crazily you, and make it clear who you are and what you want on the first date.
"Your needs don't make you needy," says Shapiro. They just make you who you are.

2. A bad boyfriend will be a bad husband
There are always clues to how a relationship will play out ultimately - even from the first few weeks. "Whoever somebody shows themselves to be right at the beginning, that's who they are," confided Liz, 42, in Shapiro's book.
"Your very first impression, you're usually right. Listen . Listen to that ."
So, if your new boyfriend shows a lack of concern for your time - if he's careless with your heart and selfish about his time, and you think he might be a bit of a jerk, then it might be wise to consider walking away before you morph from a miserable girlfriend into a tormented wife.
3. Talk about sex
In the book, Shapiro calls it "discussing the dirty" and he devotes an entire third of the book to the importance of being open and honest with your partner about what turns you on and what, by god, does not turn you on.
"Be honest about what you like," says Shapiro. For some, that may mean a fetish for white lace or a predilection for dirty talk. Others may secretly crave more simple non-pleather-clad kinks - for their partner to kiss them when they come home from work or to spontaneously sweep them in their arms - crazy stuff like that.
Whatever you like, make it known and foster open communication with your partner about their desires too. If you don't, well, desires have a way of expressing themselves.
4. The elephant in the room is not invisible - you're just pretending it is
Engage the elephants, writes Shapiro. By which he means attend to all of those conflicts that you choose to ignore or sidestep because you don't want to get into it. The debate about whether or not to have kids, about what to do with his aging mother, and the mounting Visa debt will not be ignored for long.
"The things that we choose to avoid talking about - or that are hard to admit - they fester and multiply," says Shapiro.
In five years time that 'should we get married baby elephant' might assume the shape of a herd. And when that happens, cue the stampede.
"[Conflicts] will never go away until you engage them," says Shapiro. Talk about them with an eye toward fostering the health of the partnership. When conflict is approached with that ideal in mind, honesty brings clarity and resolution, not smashing plates and tears - well, most of the time.
5. Advice is great - but don't forget to thank Lady Luck
If you've found love and you're making it work most of the time, it may be because you're doing a lot of things right and you're taking all that great relationship advice and putting it into practice. But maybe you got pretty lucky with your partner too, who's not such a jerk after all, so mouth a silent 'Thank you, God' 80s rom-com style.
"Any success that you have in life, whether it's in work or relationships, there's an element of luck," says Shapiro. Even think about all of the factors that had to come into play for you to actually meet your partner, he says.

Because it is not as popular as Google, many of your competitors will not spend the time to register. You thus receive a larger piece of a smaller pie, very worth your time.
3. Get educated about being found on the web. Don't pay someone tons of money for SEO, if you are a small business owner, it is worth having basic knowledge. I suggest http://www.webconfs.com/15-minute-seo.php or if you are a MorePhotos.com client, then contact us up to get a SEO review by our in house expert: firstname.lastname@example.com

Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know About Berlin And Kreuzberg
My absolutely favourite historic photo of the old U1 line (Hochbahn) in Berlin-Kreuzberg: very dynamic, very alive image created some time between 1905 and 1910.
Since the building to the left of the viaduct – Kaiserlicher Patentamt (today European Patent Office) – was only finished in 1905, the picture must have been made several years later but judging by the strong presence of young men who´d later disappear sucked in by the numerous front of WW1, definitely before 1914.
Unlike the Patent Office none of the houses visible to the right of the viaduct survived the next 40 years. Neither did the street that used to run along the Landwehrkanal at this spot: Sedan-Ufer (or Sedan Ufer) will disappear from the city map for good after 1945.
Something will be added, however. A new bridge will be built to span both sides of the canal at the height of the new, extended Zossener Strasse. Between 1910 and 1912 the original Zossener Brücke is going to appear where the big gathering of (mostly) men are standing. One of them, a teenager with no hat is looking straight at you as you focus your eyes on the group.
It´s his eyes and the women – one with a skirt flying behind her in the wind and the other smiling into the camera – as well as the two gentlemen in bowler-hats – both observing the gathered crowd without breaking their stride – who make this picture so extraordinary. Like a still from an impossible film.
