Kathmandu draws scores of visitors all year round- some lured by its majestic peaks while others simply intrigued by its culture. The capital city of Nepal has something in store for everybody, from quaint hills to bustling streets; Hindu temples to Buddhist monasteries; lush gardens to shimmering lakes. If you are wondering where to begin while exploring Kathmandu, keep reading. We have curated a list of top 7 places to visit in Kathmandu to help you plan your travel itinerary.
1. Historic treasures of Kirtipur
Located on a hilltop, the sleepy town of Kirtipur reflects a faded grandeur of its glorious past. Dotted by impressive medieval temples, it is a hub of many historic treasures.
Due to a rich population of both Hindus and Buddhists, there are many Buddhist stupas and Hindu temples in Kirtipur. However, some temples like Chilancho Stupa and temple of Machindranath are worship sites for both religions. Some other prime attractions of Kirtipur are the Bagh Bhairav Temple, Uma Maheshwor temple, Dakshinkali Mata temple and Sulakshan Kirti Vihar and Deu Pukhu pond.
Besides its ancient relics, Kirtipur is also famous for its Newari cuisine. After exploring the landmarks and temples of the city, say goodbye to your hunger pangs at the Newari restaurants. Savor authentic Newari delicacies like Sapu Micha, Choila and Kwati.
Anyone who admires rich history, mythical stories, good food and medieval monuments will love Kirtipur undoubtedly.
2. Chitwan National Park
Aptly named 'Chitwan', meaning 'Heart of the Jungle', the Chitwan National Park is hailed as one of the best wildlife viewing national parks of Asia. Set against a scenic backdrop of Himalayas, the park is surrounded by forested hills and Gandaki River, making it an area of exceptional natural beauty. Housing endangered flora and wildlife species like the one-horned rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal Tiger, it is one of the last surviving natural ecosystems of the Terai region. Rare bird species and animals like wild elephant, sloth bears, freshwater dolphins and leopards also inhabit the park.
To catch a glimpse of the wildlife, plan a longer visit. The dense jungle cover, tall grassland and the nocturnal hours make it a little hard to spot the animals. So wait patiently and in the meantime, enjoy the scenic view.
3. Boudhanath Stupa
For centuries, the Boudhanath Stupa has stood as a symbol of Buddhist belief towering over Kathmandu. Located on the eastern outskirts of the city, it is the center of Tibetan culture in Nepal. It is widely believed to have been built in the 14th century, after the passing of Buddha. It became a focal point of religious worship and Buddhism after the Chinese invasion forced Tibet nationals to seek asylum in Kathmandu. According to a legend, the Stupa represents Mt. Meru that was considered to be the center of cosmos.
Symbolic of Tibetan Buddhism, the Stupa structure consists of a giant dome. A Buddhist pyramid tower sits atop this dome. The prime feature of the Stupa is the painted eyes of Lord Buddha on all four sides. The eyes have been variably described as impassive, merciful and shrewd.
If you seek an intimate understanding of Tibetan heritage and symbolism, a visit to the Boudhanath Stupa is warranted.
4. Nagarkot
Located on the northern fringe of Kathmandu valley, Nagarkot is a small hill station. The town is famous for its natural beauty and viewpoints. At the break of dawn, this rustic village exudes a warm aura and offers a sight to behold- the sun casting a scarlet hue over the Mount Everest.
Its scenic landscape coupled with an abundance of hiking trails and nature walks loops in many tourists throughout the year. The prime sightseeing months are between October and March.
To witness a stunning panoramic view of the Himalayas and Shivalik range, the Nagarkot View Tower is an ideal place to be. Embark on an early morning hike through thick pine forests to watch the sun casting a rich golden hue over the snow-capped Himalayas.
It gets very cold in Nagarkot, so pack your warmers while visiting.
5. Garden of Dreams
This neo-classical modern historic garden in the city of Kathmandu is one of the most serene natural places of Nepal. Built by Field Marshall Kaiser Sumsher Rana, the Garden's design is heavily influenced by the formal European gardens, especially with features like paved paths punctuated by pavilions and plantations, birdhouses and pergolas.
The garden structure had previously deteriorated after years of neglect, but was renovated by an Austrian financed team. Now enclosed within the garden walls are dozens of gorgeous details including a marble inscription from Omar Khayam's Rubaiyat, fountains, ponds, and a 'hidden garden'. However, out of the original six pavilions, each named after the Nepali seasons, only three remain.
Spend a pleasant time in this oasis of peace and calm in the urban chaos of Kathmandu city. The lush greenery of the garden is definitely a panacea for a weary soul. You will find many locals and tourists exploring the garden complex in the pleasant sunny weather or reading a book.
6. Kopan Monastery
Located north of Boudhanath on the Kopan hill is the famous Kopan monastery. Established by Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 1959, the monastery follows the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism. The premises enclose rich gardens and an imposing Gompa lending a unique charm to the monastery.
The Kopan Monastery is famous among Western foreigners for its teachings on Buddhism and meditation courses. The meditation courses are often coupled with traditional Lam Rim teachings.
For tourists and locals, the monastery is only opened on Saturdays. Stroll around the premises to appreciate its charm and architectural beauty. Take a ritual walk around stupas and turn the prayers wheels to gather the essence of Buddhism. Relax and meditate in the lush gardens and enjoy the scenic view of the Kathmandu Valley. If you look harder, you may spot the iconic Boudhanath Stupa in the distance.
7. Pashupatinath Temple
Regarded as the most significant Hindu temple in Nepal, the Pashupatinath Temple lies on the banks of holy Bagmati River. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. First built in the 5th century, it was later renovated by Malla kings and is considered as a masterpiece of Hindu architecture.
The main temple exhibits Nepalese Pagoda architecture and is enclosed by a bunk roof and gold spire. All four doors of this cubic structure are covered in silver sheets. A huge golden statue of Nandi in the temple complex commands attention. The wooden sculptures of the temple are believed to make the devotees' wishes come true. Try your luck and see if your wish comes true!

Edible Insect Recipes: Green Posole with Waxworms
Nov. 3, 2019
May contain affiliate links.
I guess I'm something of a texture fanatic, because posole has always been one of my favorite dishes. A good bowl of posole combines thick, soft, pork, with dense hominy, and the crisp, raw onions that go on last, as a garnish. I've now topped that texture trio, by adding juicy waxworms to the mix.
Total: 1.5 hrs; Active: 30 mins; Serves 6
- 2 tablespoons oil; vegetable or extra-virgin olive
- 1 medium onion; chopped
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder or butt, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 pound of dried posole or 1 25 oz can (approx 4 cups) white hominy
- 4-6 cups water
- 2 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable stock (optional)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 5 tomatillos; husked and chopped
- 5 poblano peppers; seeds and veins removed
- 2 jalapeño peppers; seeds and veins removed
- 3/4 cup waxworms; quick boiled
- Salt; to taste
- Pepper; to taste
- 6 cloves garlic; chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro; chopped (optional)
- 1 lemon; cut in wedges
1. If you have purchased dried posole, you will need to soak it overnight (or at least 8 hours), until it has become somewhat soft and doubled in size. If you will be using canned hominy, all you need to do is drain and rinse it.
2. In a very large 6-quart pot, sauté most of the onions over high heat until translucent. Reserve a small amount of onions for garnish, at the end. Add the pork, and brown it for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add most of the water or broth, reserving one cup for the next step, and the posole or hominy. The soup should be flavorful enough using just water to make pork broth, but you can optionally strengthen the flavor with a little bit of chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, in addition to the pork broth you are making. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add most (about 1 teaspoon) of the oregano and stir to mix, then cover. You only add most of the oregano here so you can reserve some oregano for garnish, at the end.
3. Roughly chop tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeños, and garlic, and put in a blender, with the cup of water or broth you set aside, and puree it all together. When it is smooth, add it all to the simmering pork mixture. Simmer together until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
4. While the soup is simmering, euthanize, and boil, and roast waxworms, if you haven't already. If you have raised your own waxworms, you will need to euthanize them in the freezer a day ahead of time, then boil for 3-5 minutes to kill any parasites, and drain. The easiest way to boil something small like waxworms is to bring water in a small pot to a rolling boil, then place waxworms in a fine mesh stainless steel strainer, and lower into boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Then, all you need to do it lift the strainer out of the boiling water, and rinse the waxworms, still in the strainer, with cool water. Set your waxworms aside.
5. When the pork is tender enough and the pozole is almost ready, add the waxworms and stir, to warm them up. add cumin, salt, and pepper, to taste, and simmer an additional 10 minutes until flavors are blended, but not so long that herbs lose their aromas. Waxworms are added last because if they are simmered too long they get chewy and small, but added at the end keeps them big, plump, and juicy. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, oregano, and a lemon wedge, and serve.

If you are running a small business, traditional job roles tend not to apply, every team member carries out a multitude of work to keep running costs down, but as you become more successful and your business begins to grow it becomes necessary to have specialist staff or departments to be solely responsible for certain aspects of your business, from IT or HR to credit control.
Late payments can cause a lot of damage to your business if they are not dealt with in a timely manner and while there is no magic number in terms of sales or members of staff there are some things to consider when deciding when to introduce a dedicated credit control department.
Are you getting paid?
Assess your accounts and cash-flow, how quickly are you getting paid? Do you have a lot of customers in default or are a lot of clients disputing an invoice? As you can imagine, your business will not be able to survive for long if you have no money coming in. If you struggle with non-paying clients or customers that regularly abuse their payment terms, then an expert, dedicated credit control department may help to ease the pressure.
Are you wasting your time?
You may find that if you're working on credit control that your clients are paying on time and you only have to deal with a minority of non-paying customers. This may seem like your practices are working, however if you are spending all of your time chasing customers then you are not spending your time evolving your business, networking and building relationships. Don't compromise your business's success for the sake of waiting to implement a credit control department.
Do you know what you're doing?
Even if you are getting paid, there is a lot to consider when it comes to credit control before you even begin to think about best practice or legislation. If you are not familiar with this knowledge then you can jeopardise your business.
Are you putting in the groundwork?
If you are just calling clients can demanding payment then you are not running an effective credit control system. There are a lot of simple steps that you can implement well before an invoice becomes overdue. For example, call the customer once you have sent the invoice to ensure that the client received it and to resolve any issues that they may have, this reduces the chances of running into issues further down the line. For more steps that you can take, read our blog on the foundation of credit control.
At Commercial Domestic Investigations we understand that not everyone knows everything about business, and that's OK. If you are struggling with late payments and cannot see a way out, then we offer a range of services to assist you, from tracing authority to credit reporting and invoice collection. If you want to find out how we can help you, contact our team on 08444 159200 or email email@example.com.

After 100 years in the hospitality business, Hilton on Friday announced plans to add a 17th brand to its already impressive portfolio of 16 impressive globe-spanning brands.
The idea for the new Hilton brand, Signia, stemmed from conversations with owners, meeting planners, Hilton Honors members, and other frequent travelers. Based on the feedback they received, Hilton saw a way to elevate traditional business hotels through a handful of key elements: thoughtful design, smart technology, flexible and customizable meeting spaces, sleek restaurant and dining options, and enhanced wellness offerings.
Lobbies will incorporate local culture through materials and art installations, while guest rooms will continue that aesthetic thread but place a greater emphasis on connectivity. Guests will not only be able to unlock their rooms and control the temperature with the Hilton app, they'll also be able to stream content from their personal devices to their TV screen. In a departure from the standard nondescript beige cubes or fussy ballrooms, the highly divisible meeting areas will feature high ceilings and abundant natural light with custom flourishes like rotating digital artwork and touch screen presentation boards.
Health remains a commitment — most rooms will embody the brand's Five Feet to Fitness program — but the wellness centers at Signia properties will offer spa treatments and group classes, in addition to the usual equipment and facilities.
The first three cities to see Signia developments will be Orlando (aiming for a 2020 debut), Indianapolis, and Atlanta. Each will encompass at least 500 rooms, with 75 square feet of meeting space per key. And though the launch is domestic, Hilton has set its sights on strategic expansion, both within the U.S. and abroad.
We accept the following payments:

Michelle Obama Sends Serena Williams Love After US Open Loss
Serena Williams suffered perhaps the most devastating loss of her career at the US Open on Sept. 11, but that didn't stop fans from congratulating her for an incredible year. One of her most famous supporters is Michelle Obama, who tweeted love to the tennis star!
In an unbelievable upset at the 2015 US Open, Serena Williams, 33, was robbed of her chance to make history after being defeated by No. 42 seed, Roberta Vinci, 32, in the tournament's semifinals. Almost immediately, support for the tennis great flooded Twitter, including a sweet message from the First Lady herself, Michelle Obama, 51!
Before her loss, Serena was on her way to a calendar Grand Slam — a feat that hasn't been achieved since Steffi Graf did it in 1988. The tennis legend had already won the Australian Open, the French Open, and Wimbledon this year, meaning she only had the US Open left to reach the amazing accomplishment. Unfortunately for Serena, Roberta brought her A-game and took the chance away. But that didn't stop Michelle from recognizing Serena's achievements!
So proud of you, @SerenaWilliams. What you did this year was amazing. -mo #USOpen2015
— The First Lady (@FLOTUS) September 11, 2015
Even though the loss was an extremely tough one, it must feel pretty cool to receive support from such an important woman! And Michelle wasn't the only one to give a loving shoutout to Serena — check out all the celebs that tweeted kudos!
So upset about Serena, but she's a f***ing legend so w/e. What a match! — Kevin McHale (@druidDUDE) September 11, 2015
I look up to her so much. Winning or in defeat. I would trade 10 of my good days for one bad day of Serena's — Lolo Jones (@lolojones) September 11, 2015
Serena is still the 💣.com
— Josh Peck (@PortableShua) September 11, 2015
She is great. She is a champion. She is, she is an inspiration. #SerenaWilliams #USOpen #love
— Uzo Aduba (@UzoAduba) September 11, 2015
I was really looking forward to Serena's Grand Slam. She is one of the greatest athletes who ever lived. Next year, beautiful girl.
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) September 11, 2015
No matter what, Serena always plays like a champion, on and off the court. Congrats to Roberta Vinci on her win. #USOpen2015
— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) September 11, 2015
To @SerenaWilliams, One of the World's Fiercest Champions I say "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!"… http://t.co/WtBendqnP3 pic.twitter.com/YRsUhczZbo
— Yolanda Adams (@Yolandalive) September 11, 2015
It's great to see Serena get the praise she deserves after such an amazing year! Hopefully all of this love from the FLOTUS and so many other stars will inspire Serena to keep her head up and prepare to blow us away again next year!
HollywoodLifers, which celeb's tweet is your fave? Send your support to Serena below!

Hi I am new here and a new gardener. I have a question that maybe you all could help me with. I love blackberries and want to start an orchard of them.
I bought recently 1 blackberry plant (thornless). I intend to plant that in the next few days.
I have some wild blackberries growing along the road side near my house, but they are never pruned so they are always small. My question is, can I transplant those into my garden somehow?

Congratulations on choosing tile for your home project, but now what should you do? You may have questions, such as what will installers do and why, about the installation process before work actually begins on your floors.
First, remain calm. At Floor Coverings International of Brookfield and Waukesha, we aim to offer superior service from the beginning of your design process through the end of your installation.
While this guide pertains to the installation of tiles, some steps may be similar for other flooring types. Please contact your Project Coordinator if you have specific questions on your project.
1. One of the most crucial steps is to prepare the floors. Once any old flooring is removed and any unnecessary furniture moved, the subfloor will be prepped. This will help to seal against moisture especially if you are installing tile into the bathroom. In addition, priming the subfloor for installation helps tiles firmly adhere to the floor.
2. Once the floors are primed, our installers will plan the flooring out particularly if your floor will have any particular patterns. This step helps installation occur as smoothly as possible, without surprise hiccups.
3. We are now ready to install. Our team will follow the layout and cut the necessary pieces of tile. A mortar will be spread along the floor, and then a tile will be placed firmly in the allotted space.
4. This will continue until your flooring is complete. To produce quality results, our installers will regularly check to see if the tile is aligned to neighboring pieces and is level.
5. Once tiles are in place and set, it will be time to grout and/or seal. This is one difference in the installation of natural and manufactured tile. Natural stone tiles should first be sealed before grouting. Natural stone tiles need to be sealed due to the porous nature of the stone so moisture does not reduce the life of the floor. It also helps with stain resistance.
Grouting will then occur. For ceramic or porcelain tiles, sealing generally is not needed as glazed tiles are treated to help prevent stains and increase durability. It is recommended to seal grout lines to prevent stains or water damage. Grouting is necessary to help keep the tiles stuck together and in place.
6. After grouting and sealing any excess product will be sponged away with a little bit of water. This will also help to remove any dirt particles that may have settled on to the tile's surface.
Voila! You now have a beautiful tiled floor that is sure to last a lifetime. For natural tile, you will need to reseal them every three to five years to retain the unique aspect of the stone.
We hope this helped you in what to expect during the installation process for tiles. Proper installation will make renovation as easy as possible for you and give you piece of mind that you are getting a beautiful floor for life.

A multiagency investigation into heroin trafficking in Sierra Vista led to five arrests Thursday, authorities said.
Cochise County Sheriff's deputies and Sierra Vista Police Department officers joined forces and served a search warrant Sept. 28 at a residence in the 1500 block of South Foothills Drive and took several suspects into custody, said Carol Capas, a sheriff's spokeswoman.
Authorities seized heroin, drug paraphernalia, a handgun and ammunition, Capas said.
Booked into the Cochise County jail were:
- Damien Long, 39, on suspicion of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, a narcotic drug, six counts of drug paraphernalia, misconduct involving weapons in a drug offense, a prohibited possessor and use of a building to sell drugs.
- Jimmie Cole, 48, on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia.
- Ariane O'Conner, 38, on a felony arrest warrant of fraudulent scheme and artifices and suspicion of five counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
- Kristen Barrow, 28, on a felony arrest warrant of a parole violation.
- Casey Claytor, 25 on suspicion of five counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of probation.
Authorities are searching for suspect Louie Montoya, 18, who faces charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, said Capas.
Investigators ask that anyone with information on Montoya's whereabouts call 520-432-9500.

Don't wait until a cold shower. Ask yourself these three questions to find out if you should schedule hot water service repairs or a new installation.
Water heater failure can be sneaky; most NJ residents have no idea that it's about to fail…until they notice a leak or step into an ice-cold shower. But, based on your answers below, you'll find out if your water heater can be repaired or if it's time for a replacement.
1. How bad is it, really?
Some things are salvageable. If your water heater tank is corroded and leaking, that's not one of them. Which leaves a new water heater installation your only option. Hot water heater service is best left for things like a leaking drain valve and pressure-relief valve repairs. Those are worth repairing.
As always, it's best to weigh the costs of your repair against the cost of installing a new water heater. The cost for a new water heater will depend on a few things, including the make/model of the water heater, the size of the water heater and if you choose a tank or tankless water heater.
Read More>> Tank or Tankless: Choosing Your New Hot Water Heater
If the cost of repairs is near half the cost of a new water heater, consider installation over repairs.
2. How old is the water heater?
Like all appliances, the older it is, the more repairs you could be facing. If you've been diligent about your annual water heater maintenance, your water heater lifespan will be much longer, but here are some averages to keep in mind.
For a storage water heater, expect between 10-15 years of reliable use.
For a tankless water heater, you can expect 20 years or more.
Read More >> Extend Your Hot Water Heater Lifespan
If your water heater is still covered under warranty, it's best to schedule for repairs. But, if your water heater is on its last leg and no longer covered under warranty, it will be more cost-effective in the long run to install a new water heater, instead.
3. Didn't I just call in for hot water heater service?
How often do you find yourself complaining about the hot water at home? Not hot enough? Pressure too low? Water bills starting to skyrocket? Do you feel like you just called in for hot water heater service not too long ago?
If you feel like you're experiencing hot water heater Deja Vu , it's time to call your local hot water service company for an installation estimate.

There's a story in John's gospel where Jesus comes across a man who was born blind and he is asked whether this happened because of the man's own sin or the sin of his parents. Whilst it's true that sometimes terrible things happen to us because of our own bad choices and sometimes because of the bad choices of others, sometimes they just happen (I'm sure you know the saying).
The first great truth of Buddhism is that 'life is suffering'. However, it doesn't end there. Christians and Buddhists would join together to proclaim the importance of moving past this stage - not that we deny or even try to avoid all possible suffering, but that we accept the existence of pain and suffering in the world. Our acceptance doesn't mean that we ignore it, rather we are given the opportunity to redeem suffering by placing it in a meaningful context. If you are going to suffer, you may as well be trying to do the right thing, living a good life.
Jesus isn't drawn into the trap of blaming anyone for the man's blindness - even God. Instead he moves to heal the man. If only all our problems were so easily solved. The point is valid, however. Let's not spend our time simply bemoaning the world and our troubles, let's be a part of making it a better place for everyone.

The unauthorized surveillance and recording of VoIP calls has been discussed time and time again, but what happens when the surveillance of your call is being done at the endpoint by one of the participating parties? What if the surveillance was being done to analyze one of the caller's stress levels and detect them lying, in real-time?
Apparently, Skype is set to provide a new feature application to it's customers, the KishKish Lie Detector, which analyzes audio stream data in real-time, supposedly indicating the stress level of the person it's analyzing. This makes me wonder, what if both parties are analyzing each other? Could mutual suspicions cause an escalating stress readout as each party gets more and more nervous by the indicated stress levels of the other party?
From the KishKish Lie Dectector website:
Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) is a type of lie detector which measures stress in a person's voice. The use of Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) as a lie detector became popular in the late 1970s and 80s. In the 90s the first Computerized VSA (CVSA) systems came to out to the market. The CVSAT is now the truth verification device of choice in the law enforcement community as the number of law enforcement agencies utilizing the CVSAT continues to grow dramatically, proving the viability of the system for twenty-first century crime detection. The CVSAT is also being utilized by the US Military in the global war on terrorism.
Now KishKish Lie detector offers you a tool to detect the stress level of the person you communicate with over Skype. With the use of KishKish Lie detector you can monitor in real-time the stress level of the person you talked with. This allows you to gage the level of stress and modify your questions in real time. You could also use our KishKish SAM VSA that allows you to record the call and analyze the stress level off-line.
Did I miss the part where law enforcement and Dept. of Homeland Security began interrogating people via Skype? Perhaps the call recording feature could be used by responsible and patriotic citizens when fear-mongered into believing that they could be talking to potential terrorists AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. Or perhaps I'm giving this way too much thought and people are generally just distrustful of each other and want the data points to back up that gut feeling.

I met her on the first day of high school standing on the metal ramp that lead up to the portable classroom our math class was in. Her name was Gabby.
She was and always will be the best friend I've ever had.
In life you form connections with people, what you experience together determines most often what kind of relationship with that person you will have.
I knew on the first day of school that Gabby would become my friend, but what I didn't know was that she would see me go through more in life than any other friend I would ever have.
I didn't realize that day at school that Gabby would end up spending endless nights in my hospital bed with me. That she would spend hours washing glue out of my hair from medical tests. That instead of going out with friends to parties she would stay in and watch movies with me. That it would become normal for her to catch her friend as she passed out or had a seizure.
I will forever treasure the friendship between Gabby and I because it was and is something so special. She stuck by my side through all of it. I met up with G for coffee a few weeks ago after having not really talked in two years and it was what my soul needed so badly. I forgot how much I had treasured the friendship, because it was natural and she knew about t it all. G is one of the only people that has ben in my life as a friend since before my accident.
College brought new experiences, but it also brought new people and friends and that has been the hardest part. I have never wanted to be known as the "sick girl" but I am also not healthy enough to necessarily "hide" that I'm sick. While I would never want to "hide" being sick because it's a huge part of who I am, and who I've become, it would be nice to be able to make friends and meet people and not eventually have to explain to them why I look like a drug addict every morning when I whip out a bag of pills big enough to create my own pharmacy. Or why when if you look real close, or sit next to me that my legs and arms twitch.
I still haven't quite figured out how to completely open up to new people about what the past five years of life have been like, because well who wants to hear about a girl that was always sick and had to miss out on this and that. I hate being pitied, and that's usually the reaction I get when I open up to people about it for the first time.
I'm not good at my own emotions, I would make a great counselor for others, but when it comes to myself I suck. I either don't share enough, or I word vomit and share so much that the person probably doesn't want to ever see my face again. And I don't cry, but then every now and then I remember how maybe I would be better at the whole feelings thing if my teenage years had been normal and not spent in hospitals surrounded by doctors instead of hanging out with friends.
But that's life I suppose, you live and you learn. And sometimes you find people like Gabby, and when you do hold them close. Because those people, they are the special ones, and word vomit and all they';; pull you in close and show what true friends are all about.

When was the last time you checked the health of your online reputation? Just go Google yourself and see what comes up. It might give you shock.
Monitoring and managing your online reputation is an absolutely critical task to add to your to-do list. I can't begin to stress how important it is. Big companies know that their image can be destroyed by one thoughtless comment that someone spreads around the internet. But individuals have to be just as careful by doing their own personal online reputation management.
Anyone looking to find out something about you will probably go to either the search engines or one of the big social networks first. You need to control what shows up.
What can you do? Follow a few of these tips for starters:
- Do a Google search for your name to see what comes up. Make sure you put your name in "quotes" to be sure you pull up information that is specifically about you, or anyone else with your name.
- Take a look at the results that come up and make a note of anything negative. Go to those sites which you have control over and delete whatever information you don't want showing up. For ones that you don't have control over, contact those sites and see if you can get the information taken down. If not, you're going to have to use other tactics to bury those sites down in the depths of the search engine results.
- Do a social search for your name on SocialMention.com. This website will search all the main social media channels for your name. See what results come up. Anything negative? Delete it if you can, otherwise make a note of where the information is coming from.
- Start posting high quality information with your name on it wherever possible. Make sure you build links to all of this published content so you can push it up in the search engines and replace anything negative.
- Set up a system for regularly monitoring your online reputation. This should include a schedule for checking both the main social media channels and search engine results.
Larger companies can afford the services of a professional online reputation management consultant. However, for those of us who are independent entrepreneurs, you will probably have to do it yourself or outsource to a reliable assistant.
Want more information and content on Online Reputation Management? Go check out my Online Reputation Management PLR article pack. It includes an assessment sheet you can use to monitor your reputation on the web.
Have you ever had an issue with your online reputation? Ever had anyone mention you in a negative light? What would you do if that happened?

Yvonne Mounsey, a dancer of glamour, wit and striking presence who created many roles for George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins with New York City Ballet before founding a prominent West Coast ballet school, died on Saturday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 93.
The cause was cancer, her daughter, Allegra Clegg, said.
Tall and authoritative, Ms. Mounsey put such a stamp on roles — even ones she did not create, as in Balanchine's "Prodigal Son" and "Serenade" — that people still recall her delivery of certain moments after more than 50 years.
Ms. Mounsey joined City Ballet in 1949, dancing in many of its early performances of Balanchine's "Serenade" (as the Dark Angel) and "The Four Temperaments." Although she was not the first Siren when Balanchine revived his 1929 ballet "Prodigal Son" in 1950, Ms. Mounsey became the role's first classic interpreter on American soil. She had studied the role with its originator, Felia Doubrovska, and decades later coached it on film for the George Balanchine Foundation.
With her spectacular height — she was over 6 feet tall on point — long legs and cool eroticism, she came to epitomize the character for a generation.
For Balanchine, she also created supporting solo roles in "La Valse" and "Swan Lake" (both in 1951) and the Spanish dance in "The Nutcracker" (1954). For Robbins, she created the roles of the Queen in "The Cage" (1951), the Harp in "Fanfare" (1953) and the Wife in "The Concert" (1956). All these ballets remain in the repertories of City Ballet and other companies.
Yvonne Louise Leibbrandt was born in September 1919 on a farm outside Pretoria, South Africa, where she received her early ballet training. Her pursuit of a ballet career took her to Britain in 1937. There she danced on tour with the Carl Rosa Opera Company and stayed in London to train with Igor Schwezoff. Too tall to be of the proper type for the British ballet of that era, she auditioned instead for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, successfully.
But she had scarcely traveled to Monte Carlo to join that troupe when World War II broke out. She returned briefly to South Africa before heading to Australia and soon joined the Original Ballet Russe, a separate troupe, taking the stage name Irina Zarova. When the company came to New York in 1940, Balanchine was immediately struck by her and cast her in his first setting of Stravinsky's violin concerto "Balustrade" (1941).
At one point during the war as she toured with the Original Ballet Russe Ms. Mounsey found herself stranded in Cuba. She turned the stay to her advantage, becoming a successful nightclub dancer there. In 1945, when she took her act to Mexico City, she met Balanchine again and accepted his invitation to perform there with a group of his New York dancers. In a subsequent return to South Africa, where she performed to acclaim, she married Duncan Mounsey, an American.
After her time at New York City Ballet, Ms. Mounsey returned to South Africa in 1959 and, with Faith de Villiers, founded the Johannesburg City Ballet. It later became the PACT Ballet, named for the newly instituted Performing Arts Council of the Transvaal.
Ms. Mounsey moved to Los Angeles in 1966. The next year she founded the Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica, which became one of Southern California's most influential ballet centers. There she helped train many students who went on to be leading American dancers, among them Jock Soto, Andrew Veyette and Tiler Peck.
Her marriage to Mr. Mounsey ended in divorce, as did a second marriage, to Hall Hughey. A third marriage, to Kelvin Clegg, a childhood sweetheart, ended with his death in the 1990s. Besides her daughter, Ms. Mounsey is survived by her stepsons, Stephen and Christopher Clegg, and a grandson.

Once we address your sewer back up and clog problem, we offer solutions to keep these problems from arising in the future. Steele Plumbing can check and maintain your systems annually so you won't be facing expensive repairs down the line. We call this our Preferred Maintenance Program, and we highly recommend it. We'll send a plumber to your home or business to inspection your property and offer our recommendations.
This plan are especially effective and efficient for restaurants and businesses, who have high levels or waste going through their drains.
I had 2 other pipe locator plumbing companies attempt to locate our sewer. Both claimed they had located the pipe but, as it turned out, were wrong. Joe, the owner and his helper, after several hours, were able to figure out the location and problem with our 50 year old pipe. They actually cared about getting it right and gave me the option to save some money by not relining the pipe. In the end I had them reline the pipe at a reasonable price and they had it done the next day. They were knowledgeable, used quality equipment, and were a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them
TOP NOTCH: Outstanding Service and Costumer Support, very reliable and friendly, A+ plus all the way around
When you work with us, you'll be working with local professional plumbers. This means that whenever you call our office you'll hear from a person who lives and works in the area and not an automated answering machine. Having your service done by a local professional also means that you'll be near our operations center so if there are any emergencies, we can usually get out to you faster than a larger national corporation.
An added benefit with working with us is our upfront pricing. You'll never be left in the dark, anxiously wondering what costs might have added up for our work or repairs. Once we assess your situation and determine costs, you'll be notified and given an estimate before we start working, we never throw hidden fees your way. This allows you to be fully confident in the work we are doing for you and you know what to expect once your bill arrives.

Move Organization's Debbie Sims Africa is now 62 years old, living with her 39 year-old son who was born in prison, trying to figure out how a cell phone works, and walking with an electronic monitor locked to her ankle.
After nearly four decades, the first of the MOVE Nine are free.
Africa was first eligible for release in 2008, and she has come before the parole board eight times since them. In May, she and MOVE Organization members Janine Africa and Janet Africa faced the board, but only Debbie was granted parole.
The attorney representing all three women, Brad Thomson with the Chicago-based People's Law Office, said none has gotten into trouble inside prison in many years. They conducted themselves as role models for other prisoners seeking self-improvement, he said.
"Janine and Janet are still there. Walking out those doors without them was really, really, really hard," she said. "My husband is still in prison. He comes up in September. A portion of my life is going to be dedicated to that."
"Their records are remarkably similar," said Thomson. "None have had any disciplinary infractions in decades. It's hard to understand the rationale or the justification."
The Attack On The MOVE Organization
On Aug. 8, 1978, police surrounded the Powelton Village headquarters of MOVE and entered the compound by force following a lengthy standoff. During that siege, Philadelphia Police Officer James Ramp was struck and killed by gunfire.
Nine members of MOVE, including Debbie Sims Africa, were arrested following the standoff but MOVE members— all of whom take the last name of Africa — contend Ramp was killed by friendly fire from another officer on the scene.
The MOVE Nine, as they came to be known, were convicted of third-degree murder for Ramp's death and sentenced to 30-to-100 years in prison each.
The deadly 1978 standoff that led to conviction of the MOVE Nine was a precursor to the infamous 1985 bombing on Osage Avenue in West Philadelphia, when police dropped an incendiary device on top of the house where MOVE members had fortified themselves.
The resulting fire consumed 65 houses — decimating the entire neighborhood while killing six adults and five children inside the house.
It would be only the second time in U.S. history that the government would bomb its own citizens from the air. The first time was Tulsa, Oklahoma – the bombing of Black Wall Street.
Two of those killed were children of Janine Africa and Janet Africa. They were in prison when it happened.
"We didn't believe it when the officers came to tell us," Debbie recalled. "It was devastating. I don't think that I really let out all my feelings from that. We weren't there in a physical manner. It was incredible."
Debbie Africa, who was pregnant when she went to prison, said there were many hardships. But none was as crushing as having her newborn son, Mike Africa Jr., taken away from her.
"The hardest thing was when the prison was directed to take me to a hospital so they could take him away after three days," she said, weeping. "There are no words to describe it. Feeling that emptiness."
Two members of the MOVE 9 have died while in prison. Four other MOVE Organization members are eligible for parole later this year. All members of the MOVE 9 have been eligible for parole since 2008. All have been repeatedly denied parole in all of their previous appearances before the parole board.
MOVE, which was founded in the early 1970s and still exists today, is a Black liberation organization whose followers believe in a hunter-gather society and reject "man-made laws," science and technology.
The organization is dedicated to environmental issues, such as opposing industries involved in natural gas fracking and the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Find more SIEGE OF POWER
Allstar Death Metal band SIEGE OF POWER feat. Chris Reifert (AUTOPSY) on vocals and members of ASPHYX and HAIL OF BULLETS!
No bullshit compromises of any kind whatsoever. That's what SIEGE OF POWER is all about! SIEGE OF POWER started in 2013 as a project without any expectations. Shortly after releasing a split album it was left for dead, buried and almost forgotten until the rotten corpse was exhumed in 2017. This resulted in a no-nonsense extreme metal album mixed with several doomdozers. Influences vary from Carnivore and SOD to Discharge and Amebix, done in their own style.
Comments SIEGE OF POWER: "'The Cold Room' is the first official video from Siege of Power. Just like our audio terror we prefer to keep it simple and straight forward. 'The Cold Room' is also the slowest track on our album alongside with the title track. This song might confuse people about the rest of the album which is totally fine by us since it shows the diversity of our debut. Doom, Death, Thrash and punk, it is all there! In the meantime we hope you guys and girls enjoy this doomdozer called 'The Cold Room' and stay tuned for more."
SIEGE OF POWER is:
Chris Reifert - Vocals (Autopsy, Violation Wound, Abscess, Painted Doll)
Paul Baayens - Guitars (Asphyx, ex-Hail of Bullets, Thanatos)
Theo van Eekelen - Bass (ex-Hail of Bullets, ex-Houwitser, ex-Grand Supreme Blood Court)
Bob Bagchus - Drums (ex-Asphyx, Soulburn, ex-Grand Supreme Blood Court)

Sigh, Zero is, once again, demonstrating that he believes everyone else is just a little more stupid than he is.
At a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel President Obama addressed the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran. According to the Supreme Leader of Iran, said Obama, "it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon."
PRESIDENT OBAMA: The issues now are sufficiently narrowed and sufficiently clarified where we're at a point where they need to make a decision. We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to…
