After shooting a four-over round of 292 on Tuesday, the Charlotte 49ers men's golf team finished fifth out of 15 teams in the 2015 Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday General Hackler Championship.
The 49ers were led by Riley Davenport who ended the tournament at one over par, landing him inside the top ten amongst all competitors. Davenport was consistent on the two days, as he shot one over on Monday and breaking even on Tuesday. Sophomore Seth Gandy was huge for the 49ers on Tuesday, finishing 13th overall by the end of the tournament; he followed up his sluggish Monday performance by improving three shots on Tuesday, which shot him up the leaderboard.
Thomas Rowland, like Gandy, was aided by a successful Tuesday afternoon. Thanks to shooting just one over par on his last round, he jumped eight positions on the leaderboard. Unlike the other golfers, Victor Wiggins' Tuesday did not go as planned. His four over par round on Tuesday moved him back on the leaderboard.
Even with the lesser round, he was still able to finish tied for 21st. The 49ers ended the tournament with Raul Menard. After playing great golf last tournament, he wasn't able to match the same success. A tough 14-16 hole stretch led him to finishing five over par for the day. Head coach Ryan Cabbage said that despite the errors, he is keeping his head up.
"We're still making too many mistakes in order to win golf tournaments with the quality of field we faced this week. The good news is, the mistakes that we're making are avoidable and things we can work on in order to get better."
North Florida, who is ranked 25th, won the tournament, finishing ahead of second place N.C. State by 12 shots. They finished three under par as a team. The 49ers will return to the green for the annual Linger Longer Invitational in Greensboro, Georgia. The 54-hole tournament will be held for two days, Saturday-Sunday, Mar. 21-22.

Students of biology be obliged a great many employment prospects these days subsequently to there have been a great crowd advances in this science. While great number people make their way towards the fields of remedy, pharmacology, or biotechnology, two of the less known fields open to biology students are agronomy and forestry. Each of these subjects covers a vast range of topics, many of that have immense potential for employment or higher studies.
A master extent in agronomy, as the name indicates, covers variegated aspects of agriculture. The topics covered embody crop production including yield, nutrition, infectious disease control and irrigation. Students also be obliged to learn about crop ecology and conservation in addition to different farming systems. There is remoter more to agronomy than just acquisition of knowledge about planting crops. As a difficulty of fact, this is a same important field given than there is always immense demand for food all c~ing the world. The rapidly expanding earth population ensures that agronomists will to the end of time have work to do.
People by degrees in agronomy are well limited to apply for jobs at regulation and private institutions. Many corporate houses, especially those that are giants in the feed industry, rely on agronomists to ensure that they have a steady invest of raw materials of the desired disposition and at the right price. A masters division in agronomy is also necessary as antidote to a job as an educator in this region.
Forestry is another interesting field that has extremely great potential for growth, both in the laconic term and the long term. Most family who graduate with a masters quality in forestry get into government jobs. The management hires people to work at zoos, wildlife preserves and in study facilities. Forest and wildlife conservation is increasing in importance given that the human people is expanding and pushing into forested areas in opposition to economic reasons. The course in forestry includes a august deal of practical study in joining to classroom sessions.
Post graduate programs in agronomy and horticulture are both 2 years long and crowd top level institutes offer them. It goes free from saying that one has to rare an institute that has a highly good reputation in the industry and too the right affiliations because this makes a greater difference to the student's events to come career prospects. Interestingly, these courses aren't just very costly, which makes it weighty value for people who want to increase into a lucrative career quickly and affordably.

Poulsen: Don't compare Leipzig to Leicester
RB Leipzig's fairytale debut campaign in the Bundesliga should not be compared to Leicester City's heroics in the Premier League last season, says Yussuf Poulsen.
FIFA 17's top tribute to Chapecoense
Leipzig, who were only formed in 2009, have enjoyed a meteoric rise through the leagues in Germany and are floating on a cloud this term having stormed to the top of the Bundesliga.
Editors' Picks
After 12 matches, Leipzig are three points clear of reigning champions and Bavarian powerhouse Bayern Munich, and their unbeaten start to the season is a record for a newly-promoted side.
Leipzig, who have won seven consecutive league matches, have unsurprisingly drawn comparisons to Leicester, who upset the odds to clinch a remarkable top-flight title in England last season under wily veteran Claudio Ranieri.
But Denmark international Poulsen says it is premature to discuss such similarities.
Coutinho: Barca trio better than Ronaldo
Speaking exclusively to Omnisport, Poulsen said: "We aren't thinking in that way at the moment.
"We just want to continue playing as well as we do. Let's see how far it can take us.
"We aren't looking around to compare us to anyone else. We aren't Leicester and they are not us. The world changes, the team's totally different, the league is completely different. There is no need to compare us to Leicester."
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have beaten the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen during their stunning first season in the Bundesliga.
Many in the game have been surprised by Leipzig's exploits this season, and Poulsen says even the players have been taken aback by how quickly they have adapted to lift in the Bundesliga.
"We know we are good but we didn't know we were that good already," Poulsen said. "We developed a team spirit so fast in the Bundesliga. It came as a surprise.
Heaven has a new team of champions
"We played some good games in pre-season but from the first game until now, to be unbeaten is unbelievable. Continuing these good performances every week, it's still surprising.
"We have a good team and a good spirit. We have this spirit from last season when we got promoted. Everyone had this good feeling after promotion and we took it into this season.
"We have a lot of confidence at the moment. Every week, our confidence is getting bigger. But we still know we have to keep working hard because we are a new team in the league.
"We are flying on this cloud where everything is going fantastically but we have to focus on giving everything in every game. We know there are a lot of good teams in this league. If we stop doing so, it will become difficult."
Talk of Leipzig defying the odds to win the title may be dominating the Bundesliga agenda, but Poulsen insists the team's focus is solely on cementing themselves in the league.
Our opening game at the #RedBullArena was @s04_en back in 2010. We lost it 2-1, but we're hoping for 3 BL points on Saturday! #RBLS04 pic.twitter.com/2dEdrhIV6v— RB Leipzig English (@RBLeipzig_EN) November 30, 2016
"It's still a long time to go in the season, only 12 matches have been played. We have our goals to play a season without any doubt that we will stay in the league. We are almost close to that," he added ahead of Saturday's hosting of a resurgent Schalke who are unbeaten in seven games.
Ronaldo a bigger influencer than Messi
"Talking about the title it's not the right time to do that. We are focusing on our own game. To do otherwise would be stupid.
"We know when we are doing good, attention is getting bigger. But we have to focus on ourselves and not worry about what the media are typing and what everyone is thinking.
"We just want to continue this streak we have now, try and hold onto that and see how far it can take us."
With the support of energy drinks giant Red Bull, Leipzig have spread their wings this season, scoring a league-high 27 goals following last week's 4-1 rout of Freiburg.
"We have been playing this attacking brand of football since I came here three-and-a-half years ago," Poulsen added.
"I like this brand of football, the fans do too. It's attractive football. Some games normally you could almost fall asleep but when you see us play you don't fall asleep.
"It's satisfying for us players because it's also a lot of fun."

Michael Deleon worked his magic and photographed the interior of our home before we made way for the new owners. Check out more of his work here: www.michaeldeleonphoto.com/
Contemporary Residential
Getting Close
We are still working out the details on what we can afford on the landscape, so in the mean time, here are some "nearly finished photos" to tide you over.
Click on the image above to see a cool pop up sequence of large images.
The Dwell Factor
Anybody involved with modern residential is probably going to know about Dwell magazine. The magazine is a great inspiration to us, although so many of the homes they feature are way out of our league. We still fight over who gets the read the issue first.
Dwell has included modern prefab design in numerous issues. The idea has been around for a very long time (and had many fits and starts), but to their credit, what they spearheaded has really taken off. We both find modern prefab very intriguing, and we've pursued it as a viable alternative to a custom site built home. We met Charlie Lazor (FlatPak) and others from Empyream and discovered that a prefab house costs around $250-300 SF. And since I am an architect, naturally I really wanted to design the home :-)

A wonderful sight at the marina this morning - let's hope that the rest of winter stays as mild as it has thus far - we can but live in hope!

Around the marina
When I first saw this impressive building from the top locks of the Droitwich Canal I thought it must be Hanbury Hall but on further investigation realise that it's actually Hadzor Hall.

A change in the weather
It started off as a lovely day this morning and I managed to wash down the front cratch canopy with a mild solution of Milton steriliser to remove the green algae; it seems to have worked well. I left it a couple of hours to dry in the warm sunshine before spraying it with waterproofer and hoped that it would dry quickly as the sky was starting to cloud over.
It was about 15 minutes later that it started to rain, just a bit to start with and then heavens opened ... just as I'm writing this post! The lights are on inside and the wind, hail and rain is making a hell of a din on the roof and now its thunder and lightening! The weather tomorrow is rain, rain, rain ... I'm so glad that we've nowhere to go!

In the meantime ....
... away from Still Rockin' ... life continues back on board Rock 'n' Roll ...
... the cassette toilet is in and varnished. The fit has not allowed for a door so Stuart has made a sliding hatch that works perfectly.
This is lock 7 and to the right of the picture is the weir which flows into the River Salwarpe and at the bottom of this lock the canal joins the river which was unnavigable as the level was well into the red board. You may just be able to see the bridge beyond the lock under which it was flooded to about 12" - time to turn back me thinks.

We've got off lightly ...
These four pictures are of areas on the Welsh coast just a few miles from where we used to live before taking to the canals!
The railway line at Tywyn ...
... and the damage the storm left!
Our thoughts go out to all those who've been caught up in the storms over the last week or so.
I took these two photos through the car window on our way to see Margaret and Geoff at Grindley Brook a few days ago after travelling through some pretty rotten weather on the way.
Here in Droitwich it's certainly been much calmer, lots of wind and rain but nothing compared to the coastal areas.
... and these two I took this morning at the marina - daffodils pushing up!
I wonder what winter weather we'll get next?

A day off ...
... from packing boxes on Friday ...Margaret and Geoff.
The weather wasn't as bad as forecast and we had a lovely time catching up with each other's news and enjoying good company and food as usual. Sorry I forgot my camera but I'm sure Geoff won't mind me pinching his picture taken just as we were leaving to travel back to Droitwich!

Radical Change
Sometimes life happens and initiates radical change. Sometimes if we dare, we initiate radical change.
On January 6th 2016, life happened. My life partner died suddenly 😢😢🙏🙏.
My life radically changed.
Since that day my life has been in flux.
Navigating the waves of grief, dealing with life changing logistics, reallocating and managing our finances, finding my way as a single mom, managing all the day to day responsibilities that I once shared with a partner and operating an established coaching business. It has all proven to be too much with very little time for my personal healing and not to mention to be the mom I want to be.
Each week I have little by little been simplifying my life to create more space, but still it proves not enough for what my soul is yearning.
My soul yearns for more space.
My soul yearns for consistent blocks of"white space" - space just to be, to heal, to embrace my grief.
My soul yearns for more time to renew my connection with my inner self and spirit.
My soul yearns for deeper more meaningful connections and contribution.
My soul yearns for more freedom to be there for my son, not only physically but spiritually and emotionally.
My soul yearns for time and space to consciously design the next chapter of our life.
My soul yearns.
I dare.
I am initiating change - radical change.
I am selling our home and renting for a year.
I love our home.
Brian and I bought this home nine years ago. It provides the lifestyle we desired as a young family. We live eight blocks from the beach, one block from Kenny's school and walking distance to all the conveniences we need. It was our dream home.
The dream died when Brian died.
At this time I have no inkling of what the dream home (or lifestyle) is for Kenny and I. Thus the decision to rent for a year.
I am taking a year sabbatical from my career.
I love being a coach.
I love being an entrepreneur. I remember clearly the day I realized I was capable of making a decent living from coaching, I cried. Tears of joy. It was a dream come true. It has been 21 years of living my dream of helping others live their dream. I am deeply grateful.
Stepping away from coaching is something I never thought I would do. I value and treasure my clients trust in me and our authentic, honest meaningful conversations. Coaching is what I know, it is my identity, it is where I get confirmation that I am valuable.
I am relocating. I am taking my sabbatical In Ottawa to be with my immediate family where I will have an abundance of support raising my son.
I am giving myself these gift for a year.
The gifts of a reserve of space, support, and love.
It is scary.
It is risky.
My stomach tightens as I write this. But the deepest part within me - the part that feels instead of over- analyzing knows that this is the next best step for Kenny and I.
I am initiating radical change.
My soul yearns it.
My mental health needs it.
The chance to live my best life after loss depends on it.
Sometimes we need to shake up our foundation to heal or build the life we truly desire.
I know it is not easy..... it can be very very scary - a leap of faith.
I am holding on to what I know and that is that an authentic soulful vision will trump the fear.
What does your soul yearn for?
Is it time for change?
Is it time for radical change?
What is your next step to live your best life?
Will you dare with me?
Do share below, what might be your next radical step to live your best life?
My hope is that by continuing to share my journey through loss, transition and the steps in rebuilding a life of fulfilment and joy that it will in some way it give you strength and inspiration to continue to take the bold steps to live the life you truly desire.
I will continue to share my journey through my blog and offer resources and tips on social media, be sure to be connect with me on Facebook and Instagram.

Every moment of a four-year long war was not always filled with bloody battles and explosions. There were moments of the Great War when soldiers had time to themselves, time to "rest." These images show a few leisurely activities that some men did when they were away from the front lines. One of the main task when a solider was "resting" was to get clean. Whether it be bathing in the rare opportunities that they had to bath or doing laundry, which was a high priority since lice was so prevalent during WWI. Being able to keep the mind occupied was essential to surviving the war. Normalizing moments by creating crafts or having a leisurely drink with comrades put soldiers at ease even if it was for only a brief period of peace.

The Original Docu-Drama
I. Martinez-Ybor | Miami, FL USA | 09/11/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have always had a soft spot for this flick. To my knowledge it was the first to combine documentary and dramatic action in what is today done routinely, often cheesely, on cable channels. There are no relationships established or explored (not one kiss), no characters developed, this is all exposition, expertly and classily done. What acting there is, is sharp, to the point, and full of conviction. What a pleasure to see Lloyd Noland and Signe Hasso, projecting absolute integrity as the unambiguously good and the irredeamably bad, both equally effective at what they do. One would have no problem trusting such a cop or fearing such a spy. The movie is obvious FBI propaganda, even J.Edgar Hoover makes an appearance, but neither message nor method is ever offensive. The country was cheerily victorious in 1945 and one has to be truly morally stingy to deny its secret police a movie-screen cheer for its assistance in securing victory. The movie is also interesting as a historical artifact: it reveals tricks of the trade c. 1945 such as two-way mirrors, invisible writings, IBM card-file match machines, filming of suspects, encrypted postage stamps, micro-film credentials. Were audiences surprised by these back then?
The DVD transfer is of a very high quality.
Historically, German espionage in America was rather inept. Far more interesting, we now know, from Venona intercepts and USSR archives, were Soviet schemes to penetrate the Manhattan Project and the highest levels of American foreign policy making. Stalin already knew of the success of Trinity when Truman shared it with him and Churchill in the Potsdam conference in 1945. The misdeeds of Klaus Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, and the like could provide fodder for interesting movies now that we have firmer grasp of what went on.
The Cold War Begins Here
Vincent Tesi | Brick, New Jersey | 05/02/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The House on 92nd Street was one of the first Hollywood films to incorporate a semi-documentary edge to the noir/crime genre. The film's technical accuracy is authenticated by actual FBI archive footage of Nazi subversives and location shooting at FBI headquaters in Washington. For the first time ever, J. Edgar Hoover's dictatorial organization is depicted as an organized, structured, and efficient government institution whose existence and purpose is to preserve and protect national security. Hoover allowed director Henry Hathaway unprecendented access to film FBI secret equipment such as: two-way mirrors, video surveillance cameras, wire tapping lines, and a demonstration of the immense fingerprinting tracking system. Hoover gave his stamp of approval since the film justified the Bureau's stand and actions against possible covert foreign operations infiltrating America's military, political, economic, and educational systems. The film was released in 1945, weeks after the atomic bombing of Japan and the plot revolves around Nazi spies and their quest for information about ultra-secret plans dubbed Project 97. Project 97 obviously refered to the Manhattan Project which was the actual government code name given for the construction of the atomic bomb. Dark European mannerisms flood the film, as evidenced by Hathaway's judicious choice in casting. Swedish actress Signe Hasso is nefariously convincing as the Nazi spy ring's mastermind. With the exception of Leo G. Carroll, the remaining subversives are undertaken by unknown players. Their anonymity to the average American film buff heightens their deviousness and subterfuge. Lydia St. Clair is absolutely chilling in her small but malevolent role as a Nazi loyalist. The cast is rounded out by newcomer William Eythe and the dependable Lloyd Nolan who is perfectly cast once again as the paternal figure for American justice. The disappointment is Eythe whose lines are delivered blandly. The film's cinematography is true noir. Shadows seem to move between every contrast of black and white. This is a must see for all classic noir lovers."
Not a Noir, Not a Documentary, But A Great Film
Beth Fox | Los Angeles, CA USA | 06/26/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
""The House on 92nd Street" -- the first film made with the cooperation of the FBI -- tells the story of the FBI's bust of a Nazi spy ring who'd tried to steal the plans for the atomic bomb. The hero, Bill Dietrich, is an American of German ancestry who was approached by the Nazis to spy for their regime. Instead, he volunteers his services to the FBI and becomes a double-agent. After training at a Nazi school in Hamburg, Dietrich returns to the US as paymaster and radioman for the Nazi spy faction operating in New York. This group, run by the hard-as-nails Elsa, controls other agents and informants and, in turn, is controlled by the mysterious "Mr. Christopher". The intriguing and fast-paced story leads to a surprise ending that does not disappoint.
This film was the first-ever "semi-documentary." It has aspects of a documentary: true-life footage inside FBI headquarters, genuine footage of Nazis in the US and their arrests, and G-men playing for the screen the same roles they took in solving the actual crime. The plot is interrupted, now and then, by documentary-like stentorian narration. It is, however, a dramatization and the screenwriters took minor liberties with the facts (i.e., certain of the actual villains were married.) It can also be seen as a commercial for the FBI, and 1945 audiences no doubt were left with a gee-whiz feeling when they saw the footage of the largest file room in the United States, with its millions of fingerprints; the detailed files on all potentially-troublesome foreigners (supposedly rounded up in one day); the FBI's one-way glass mirrors; the elaborate shortwave radio set-ups and the like. Those who have seen episodes of "The FBI" have seen this sort of thing before, but it was designed to awe (and reassure) the film's post-war audience and jolt America's enemies.
The DVD includes erudite commentary by film noir historian Eddie Muller. As Muller points out, this film is not an actual noir. Rather than focusing on one individual and his reactions as events close in on him (think "Sorry, Wrong Number," or "Crossfire") this is a straightforward account. Indeed, much of the plot is driven by the desire to show off the technology. That does not mean that the plot is not extremely engaging -- it is. The actors, including the minor actors, do a terrific job. It is very easy to overplay evil spies so that they almost become caricatures (there is a "we have ways of making you talk" scene) but overall, they do a fine job with the material. And the direction and photography are first rate.
Watch the film once through, then watch it with the insightful commentary. Take a look at the press book (included) and the photos. I recommend it highly."
The House on 92nd Street by Henry Hathaway
FilmFan | Manhattan,NYC | 11/13/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This film is interesting to me for the following two reasons:
1. It takes off from the portrayal of two of the main characters and becomes a character study of them within the context of a police spy thriller and war film,as well as a historical documentand a picture of my city,New York,right after WWII when I was growing up.
2. The film becomes an Expressionist film noir in the last few minutes, with the death of the female leader of the German Nazi spy ring who is shot accidentally by one of her own henchmen, while trying to escape from the FBI who have surrounded the house.Photographed in a cloud of tear gas,starkly lit in light and shade in a half-darkened house, the ambiguous figure of the "transvestite" female spy is heightened and moves the picture momentarily into another realm.
The second story running besides the one of the double agent,played by William Eythe working with the FBI agent,Lloyd Nolan,to crack the spy ring run out of a house (actually on 93rd St.originally,not 92nd St.)is the study of the two curious Nazis,Signe Hasso,a Swedish actress playing Elsa, a German spy posing as a dress designer who is leading a double life dressing as a man to facilitate her movements around the city and the English actor Leo G. Carroll,playing Colonel Hammersohn,who recites his important distinguished romantic background to William Eythe when they first meet, as a spy during WWI,evidently unapprehended,and who dresses in the manner of someone from around 1910,carries a walking stick and has stylized gestures and is the one who is at least partially responsible for saving's Eythe's life at the end of the film. Who are both of these people?
These two finely thought-out characters,plus the intensity given in the portayal of the fine supporting cast of Nazi collaborators, particularly Lydia St.Clair as a fierce Gestapo agent are part of what makes "The House on 92nd St."really interesting in its attempt to give dramatic and well-written frames for some of its more fantastic characters and their twisted reasons for doing what they do. That they have lives outside of the film to speculate upon only gives more depth to an unsual motion picture.

How NOT To Get Coaching Clients
The difference between a good life coach and a successful one, is a coach who makes a living from professionally life coaching. This is where knowing how to promote your coaching business comes in.
You'll find there are loads of self-appointed coach marketing gurus promising to teach you this or that strategy to get your lots of clients (often at great expense) but it really is a question of finding what works for you.
Read on as we discuss some of the types of marketing tools you can use to raise your profile and attract clients. Of course not all of them will appeal to you so it's important to find those that you feel comfortable with. Your marketing method should be something you enjoy or at least find a pleasurable challenge rather than cause you stress. You can read more about why one size doesn't fit all when it comes to choosing your life coach marketing plan.
Probably the most basic item among your Business Marketing Strategies is a business card that markets for you. Review these creative business card ideas, so you can be sure that your card is a tool to make you memorable to the people you meet at networking functions, a party, or even on the train or plane.
And if you are on a budget designing your own cards on Vistaprint is really easy and I have found their delivery service excellent.
Making connections through networking is a very effective marketing strategy so look at How to Network face-to-face for coaches - and resolve to get out there physically among potential clients.
And, of course online networking can be another worthwhile way to get known, build relationships and promote yourself. How to Network also has lots of hints to get the best from your both your in personal and social media networking experience.
And whilst we are at I found the book Unstoppable Referrals is a useful read for networkers.
Networking can also result in forming a profitable joint alliance or venture with another coach or someone in a related profession to your niche. There are rules and tips and traps in such partnerships and this article on Business Joint Ventures will help you get it right.
This is one of the most powerful and inexpensive marketing tools you can use. Testimonials on your brochure or website are free and powerful advertising. However, getting them can sometimes present challenges from both the coaches and client's perspective.
You'll find all you need to know and some simple strategies for easily getting those endorsements on the page on how to get life coaching client testimonials.
If you have a specialty or niche you can bring to your life coaching, marketing yourself and standing out from the crowd can be so much easier. What do you really understand or have in your background that could become your coaching specialty? Learn how to choose and market your niche.
To successfully market your niche you need to be able to create a message that is authentic, congruent and inspirational. A message that will have your target market wanting to know more and feel confident that you are the coach for them. Easier said than done!
But help is at hand in this video from marketing expert Cindy Schulson of Marketing From Within, especially created for Life Coaching Professionally.
Having a website that looks pretty and gives lots of information is one thing.
But having a website that is easily found by the search engines and is written in such a way that it attracts coaching clients and sales can be quite another.
You'll find lots of helpful information for your coaching website and tips on making sure your website engages your visitors in Life Coaching Websites. You can also read and learn from my case study of a client's website disaster that could easily have been avoided here.
Being a guest blogger or commenting on someone else's block blog is a good way of getting known and recognised as a life coach who has something worthwhile to say. Your post will invariably include a link to your website which can earn your extra visitors and even clients.
However, there are (of course) tips and traps you need to be aware of if your words of wisdom are to enhance rather than inhibit your reputation - not to mention your standing with Google and the other Search Engines (yes there is more than one!).
Read my tips on The Benefits of Guest Blogging And Commenting to get ahead of this marketing game.
Webinars weren't even around when I started coaching, but now giving a visual, interactive online workshop that gives value and promotes your message as a coach is one of the favourite ways of attracting clients.
I've seen some great webinars and some that have me turning off within a minute or two because they are so badly presented, so there is quite a skill in making it work for you.
I can't do much better than refer you The Ultimate Guide To Webinars which gives the full picture of what a webinar is and 37 great tips to help you get it right.
Sometimes it really does pay to advertise! Basically, how Adwords works is that each time someone clicks on your AD it goes to a website page designated by you to promote your coaching and hopefully engage with you for more information or to take the action you want such as signing up for an introductory session.
You pay for each click and how much you pay is your choice depending on your budget. The key to a successful Adwords campaign is to get the keywords right so that Google places it to attract the right web visitors. Google has lots of information and help to get it right here.
Writing a book based on coaching a fantastic was of raising your profile, establishing yourself as an authority and getting clients.
You'll hear people say that a book is just an expensive calling card.
Yes it can be. But it is one of THE top marketing for a coach strategies I know . Also, if you list and promote your book up on Amazon and other online book sites it can be a useful extra income stream!
Your book will give you status and credibility and something to refer to and sell at those speaking engagements .
I got more clients through my first book Ready Set Goal, now superseded by Be Your Own Goals Coach than from any other source. Take a peek. It could help you set and plan your coaching and book writing goals.
Here's all your need to know to get started on writing and publishing your book. I've also included how to make an easy start with a tips booklet (which is what I did). You'll find it really useful, especially if you feel a proper book is beyond you.
If you can overcome your fear of public speaking and get up at conferences and events to talk about some aspect of your coaching, the rewards will be huge.
In how to Become a Motivational Speaker I discuss how to put a presentation together, the logistical stuff ups that can spoil your talk however well you speak and where to go learn the craft of speaking. I also show you how to create an introductory, or Elevator Speech, that is a magnetic marketing message.
I highly recommend Cindy Schulson's work in this area. She offers loads of free advice as well as an amazing free webinar. (click image below for more.
Many coaches and coach providing organizations offer a free 'try before you buy' session as one of their business marketing strategies.
The rational is that people don't understand what life coaching is and need to experience it, and the coach, before they make a decision. There are two schools of thought around this and you can read about the pros and cons of the free introductory session.
If marketing is your Achilles Heel, take a look at the Love Your Life Coaching Program a kit created by my colleague and coach Emma Louise of the Coaching Tools Company. It has lots of processes and forms to help you move forward in your coaching practice and help your clients do the same.
As well as templates for life and personal growth coaching which you can personally adapt and brand for your coaching practice The Coaching Tools Company has some great infographic packages which will save you no end of time and kits for everything from a time saving Welcome Pack to helpful aids for Career, Business and Work Life Balance. If you don't want the full kits, many of them can be purchased separately.

End Credits #32: Cinema's 2015 Lost Treasures Coleen Gray
These are some of Cinema's sad departures of 2015 taken from my personal notes soon after the events took place:
Another actress of substance, style and grace has been lost to us and for "real" film buffs it is devastatingly sad. Coleen Gray, who possessed a wealth of outer and inner beauty on and off the screen, has passed away at age 92. She made her characters authentic and remarkable but most of all sincere. Her 'first class delivery' of emotions graced many memorable roles, especially in her introductory part as Nettie, the glowing, passionate love of Victor Mature's Nick Bianco from the stellar film noir Kiss of Death. She, along with Lizabeth Scott who was also lost to us this year, was one of noir's last surviving 'queens'. As Anna she would later effectively convey an exceptional devotion to another noir "bad boy": Sterling Hayden's Johnny Clay in The Killing. Gray provided inspired performances in other noir specialties like Nightmare Alley, Kansas City Confidential and The Sleeping City. She starred with Bing Crosby in the fun filled Riding High, opposite John Beal in The Vampire and made a lasting impression as June Talbot in the cult favourite The Leech Woman. As 'Fen' in the western classic Red River, her presence resonated throughout, even though she had only one early scene. Like John Wayne's first love lost in that film, Coleen Gray's incredible warmth and devotion will never be forgotten. And thanks to the magic of cinema those same special feelings she lavishly bestowed on Wayne's Thomas Dunson can be reciprocated by us for the rest of our lives. Coleen Gray (October 23, 1922 - August 3, 2015) R.I.P.

In 2016 US consumers continue to reach for wine as an enjoyable beverage, even with craft beer grabbing an increased share of the alcohol beverage market.
A review of the 2015 wine statistics and buying trends for 2016 are generally positive. Most experts predict another good year for wine, at its usual 1 to 2% growth rate in the US. Despite fluctuating stock markets, a very competitive alcoholic beverage industry, whispers of recession, and fast-moving social media/apps that can influence trends overnight, in general wine seems to be well positioned for 2016. However it could be a pivotal year for American wine, if the industry doesn't begin to innovate as fast as the competition.
Statistics for the US Wine Industry in 2015
- Revenues for US Wine Sales = $38 billion, a 1.3% increase from 2015 (Gord0n, 2016)
- Number of Outlets in the US selling wine = 545,907 (Brager, 2016)

I got it wrong. Totally wrong.
I underestimated the power of branded cardboard boxes of fried chicken.
This morning, I said that Kentucky Fried Chicken's promotion with Guitar Hero 4 was laughably bad... and used JibJab's High School Musical viral campaign as an example of a great branded promotion.
I stand by the JibJab comment - but apparently I underestimated the power of the Guitar Hero 4 brand... because since that post, my blog has been flooded with traffic arriving from Google search queries like:
» kfc guitar hero box price » kfc guitar hero » kfc box guitar hero » KFC GUITAR HERO » guitar hero box kfc » how much is new kfc guitar... » how much is the kfc guitar...
While I stand by my argument that this is not great marketing - KFC clearly attached themselves to a great brand and product launch. And their commercials did a great job featuring the Guitar Hero brand... effectively driving traffic to KFC and in search of their new combo meal. Even more impressive - this traffic is from the 2nd - 5th results in Google (meaning that I only represent a fraction of the actual 'demand' / activity.

With April nearing its end, it's time to visit another quaint town in Washington State, and for March, the quaint town of Snohomish, founded in 1858, was the winner. I've been to Snohomish numerous times to their wonderful parks and playgrounds, but I'd never visited the historic downtown (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). What a treat! First Street is filled with plenty of antique shops, eateries and taverns to keep you busy for a full afternoon.
We were lucky to have a day filled with sunshine, so we wandered in and out of shops, spoke to friendly owners and enjoyed the buzz of a beautiful spring day.
Of course, if you've heard of Snohomish, you've heard about the need to eat some pie, so my dear friend, Cicely and I decided we should probably do what everyone suggests…
I picked the Strawberry Rhubarb, since my great-grandmother and mom used to bake this for me.
After our pie, we returned to the streets and I continued taking photos of eye-catching signs. All in all, it was a truly fun day!
To see Cicely's take on our adventure, head on over to Rusted Van Photography. Her pie looked much prettier than mine. 🙂

I suppose to be completely sustainable with shaving, I'd have to not shave. While I'm known in my neighborhood as the "crunchy" one, I am not that crunchy. About a year ago, I started hearing buzz about Dollar Shave Club, a subscription service that delivers shaving essentials to your doorstep for a very reasonable price. I decided to give it a try, and while I realize there is still waste using Dollar Shave Club (the cartridges get thrown in the trash) I create less waste from shaving now than I ever have in the past.
Here's why I choose to stay with Dollar Shave Club (and, to be clear, this is not a paid post. I'm writing this because of the benefits of the service).
It saves me money. Four razor cartridges are delivered to my mailbox each shipment for a $6 flat fee. If you're familiar with the price of razor blades in the store, you'll know this is a bargain. The first shipment I received came with a handle at no additional cost. There are various plans to chose from and different types of cartridges.
The packaging is (mostly) recyclable. Each shipment is as compact as possible in a recyclable cardboard envelope (see photo above). The packaging around the container that holds the cartridges is cardboard, also. Most cartridges bought at the stores come over-packaged in plastic blister packs. I can throw the plastic holder for the cartridges in my recycle bin. Unfortunately, the cartridges are not recyclable.
I'll always receive the right cartridges for my handle. I can't tell you how many times in the past I would buy a new handle and cartridges, only to have difficulty getting more cartridges soon after. Sometimes, I'd forget what brand I had. Sometimes, the brand would be discontinued. Sometimes, the store would be out of stock. Then, I'd buy a new handle with new cartridges or buy a pack of fully disposable razors till I could get the right cartridges.
I no longer throw out plastic razors. I've thrown away a lot of disposable razors since I started shaving in junior high, and I've had quite a bit of green guilt over it (I don't get a lot of green guilt, but sometimes it creeps up.)
I can change the frequency of delivery based on my needs. In the warmer months, I get a four-pack delivered every month. In the winter, I request a four-pack every other month because I shave less frequently. The website makes it easy to change the frequency of delivery.
No silly pink razors to try to trick me into thinking that shaving is more glamorous when done in pastel. Dollar Shave Club's razors are unisex. I like that.
The razors work just fine for me. I don't get nicks or cuts (okay, occasionally I'll get them on that tricky ankle bone spot, but that's not the razor – it's me always in a rush).

"It is Important to have Space researches in India" – Mangalyan scientists
The Mangalyaan Project Scientists had informed that it is Important to have the Space researches in the growing countries Like India.
An Appreciation ceremony was conducted in Madurai to Appreciate the Tamilnadu scientists Jeyachandran and PalPandi who had participated in the Mangalyaan Project. This function was organized by the Industry trade association, Sharp Organization.
The Scientists Jeyachandran and Pal pandi had informed that: Following the success of the Mangalyaan, Chandrayaan 2 Project will be implemented in the year 2017. In the Mangalyaan 2, the research will be conducted by landing the Space craft in the Mars.
Since the Mangalyaan space craft was exactly placed on the Mars Orbit by Spending very less Amount, it was considered as an International Achievement. Some of the American newspapers had commented on this and they had also released a cartoon related to this. This should be taken as a Special comment.
The Mangalyaan space craft was researching about the amount of Methane gas present in the Mars and it also researches about the Environment.
The Photos taken by the craft was Under Study. It will take some days to know the result. The Life Span of the Space craft was fixed as 6 months. Since its working condition is good it will be used for some more time. After 26 Months later the Space craft will be sent again to the Mars. It will be sent in the year 2016.This research was important for the Growing countries like India. It is important to give important to these researches in order to grow like the emerging countries like America.
Space Research:
Invitation for Students: The Mangalyaan scientists had invited the students to show there interest in the Space researches. An Appreciation ceremony for the Mangalyaan scientists was conducted in Madurai.
In this Ceremony the Retired Scientist Siva Subramanian had told that: In the Mangalyaan Project An instrument called Georoscope is used to exactly measure the correct path in which the Space craft should travel. This Georoscope was designed by the Scientist Jeyachandran. The scientist Pal Pandi had invented the Accelerator. This instrument is used to control the speed of the space craft and it helps the space craft to enter in to the gravitational force of the Mars by separating the space craft from the gravitational force and also by passing the Solar force. The participation of these scientists plays a major role in this Project.
The Scientist Jeyachandran had told that: The georoscope instrument is used to locate the place of the space craft in the Space. It is also used to find out the path. The youngsters should not only show there interest in the information Technology, they should also show there Interest in these kind of researches. The Value of the Indian products has been increased across internationally because of the Mangalyaan Success.
The Scientist Pal Pandi had told that: The Success of the Mangalyaan project was appreciated During the Meeting of Chief officers of the Space Research centers of Different Countries. This meeting was conducted in the Canada. The Indians who are living there had told that the status of the Indians was increased. The Canadian people had told that the Approaching sense of the Indians was also increased. We have only a Small weight vehicle to go to the Space. The countries like America are having a large vehicle. The distance taken to reach the space and the Fuel needed are same. We had succeeded the Project by spending a very less amount.

We walked in reparation for the sins that have been committed against the unborn, all involved in abortion, and other end-of-life issues. We walked to be a witness for Christ!
For an End to Abortion
Oh God, who is the Beginning and the End, hear our prayers as we cry out to you to end the merciless shedding of innocent blood in our nation and throughout the world. Through death you have conquered death and through your life we experience eternal and everlasting life. Cause life to spring forth in the hearts of all people and bring forth a love and respect for life that will dominate our culture. May your kingdom and church apprehend and overtake the culture of death that has prevailed through deceit and selfishness; may the Seed of the woman crush the head of the serpent through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Praise God that we were able to walk as a family for the 2013 Walk for Life – West Coast. It was a first for the boys. Thankfully, there wasn't much opposition (seen) so the littles were all spared from graphic visuals and language.
Rose joined up with friends from our parish and walked with TAC.
I must note that it was much more of a sacrifice for me (at 37 weeks) than I had anticipated. Dad and the kids were great support. ALL FOR!
Below is a recap of the walk in pictures.
We had more pictures from the actual walk and entire day but my photographer and her assistant had a mishap with the camera memory while on our way home. A story not worth mentioning.
Dad – For the logic-impaired ~ Mom – baby G in womb-37weeks ~ Rose – Smile Your Mom Chose LIFE ~ Sweetie & Dragonfly – LIFE decorated with hologram smiley faces ~ Papi – SMILE (w/hologram smiley faces) 4-LIFE ~ Sparkles – glittered American Flag (her creation from a RMGS poster contest) with PRO LIFE image in place of stars
Novena Prayer for Life to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Oh Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of Life,
We honor you as Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Thank you for pointing us to Jesus your Son,
The only Savior and hope of the world.
Renew our hope in him,
That we all may have the courage to say Yes to life,
And to defend those children in danger of abortion.
Give us your compassion
To reach out to those tempted to abort,
And to those suffering from a past abortion.
Lead us to the day when abortion
Will be a sad, past chapter in our history.
Keep us close to Jesus, the Life of the World,
Who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.

What Will It Take For Brittney Spears To See She's Hit Bottom ? / Brittney Spears Luck Has Run Out With The Lose Of Her Kids !!!
Britney Spears Temporarily Loses Custody
Jen McDonnell, canada.com
Britney Spears has temporarily lost custody of sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. In a closed-door hearing today (Oct. 1), a judge ordered her to hand over the children to ex-husband Kevin Federline by Wednesday at noon "until further notice of the court," reports People.
Though the judge didn't elaborate on his sudden decision to overturn the couple's 50/50 custody agreement, Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, reportedly requested the last-minute hearing after Spears was photographed driving her two sons around Los Angeles this weekend, even though she doesn't have a license, reports E! News.
No sympathy as Britney Spears loses custody to Kevin Federline
She may have lost her children, her career, and her reputation, but Britney Spears isn't eliciting any sympathy.
The former pop princess and one-time Christian role-model lost custody of her two children to former husband Kevin Federline today, and American bloggers and columnists met the news with cheers.
Influential celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted an acerbic response to Judge Scott Gordon's ruling, chiding Spears for brining the loss of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, upon herself.
"Britney Spears lost custody of her two children on Monday because she's a f***-up that can't obey the law," he ranted.
Britney Spears And Parenting: A Timeline Of Tumult
It's been motherhood under a microscope for Britney Spears, who lost custody of her two children — at least temporarily — on Monday (October 1) when a judge ordered the singer to turn over her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline until further notice, effective Wednesday

John Huston shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday for a share of the second-round lead with Nick Price and Kenny Perry in the Champions Tour's SAS Championship.
Huston, the Dick's Sporting Good Open winner this year, played the last 10 holes in 6 under in windy conditions for the best round of the day at Prestonwood Country Club.
Tom Kite owns the course record at Prestonwood with a 61 he carded in 2003. Coincidentally, Kite is making his 1,000th combined start on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour this week at Prestonwood.
"I was able to keep the ball in play and manage the wind," Huston said. "It was kind of hard, it was hard to get it close. It was definitely a lot harder today. The wind seemed to keep changing directions."
Blustering wind led to the highest single-round average in tournament history.
Price and Perry had 69s to match Huston at 9 under.
"You look at the guys who are up there, and obviously Kenny and John Huston are both longer hitters than I am, so I'm going to be playing first a lot (Sunday)," Price said. "My approach shots, I'm going to be playing first most of the day, I think."
Perry said he also struggled a bit with the wind.
"I got off to a great start, birdied three of the first four, so that kind of set the tone for my day," Perry said. "I hit a couple wrong clubs in the wind and hit a poor shot off the 10th tee that caused bogey. But all in all, I'm very happy with it. I'm excited -- in good shape for (Sunday)."
Perry is looking for his first win in two years and his first on the Champions Tour. In eight events on the 50-and-over tour this year, Perry has five top-10 finishes.
Jeff Sluman (69) was 8 under, and defending champion Russ Cochran (71) was 7 under. First-round leader Corey Pavin had a 74 to drop four strokes back at 5 under. Fred Couples (71) also was 5 under.

What I Watch: Star Trek
When we were dating we'd watch Star Trek: Next Generation together--my first introduction to the Star Trek universe. Although we had the string quartet play theme song as we walked down the aisle after being married we are far from Trekkies.
Shawn has seen most of the original series episodes, but I haven't. And even the ones I have seen I forget and like to watch again. There are a few Shawn will say "let's skip" and some that he hasn't seen or doesn't remember. He wants to skip "Trouble with Tribbles," but I keep saving it on the DVR hoping he'll change his mind and we can watch it again. It's hilariously weird.
The show is so campy and funny, and I'm a big Spock fan. I love Kirk's over-acting and the wacky sets and 60s-style costumes. I love the interplay with Bones and Spock and the inevitable "He's dead, Jim" almost every episode. Poor red shirts (a red shirt crewman almost always dies during an away mission).
The version we watch has had its external shots redone with CGI, so we don't like that as much/would prefer the authenticity of the model ships being filmed on a painted backdrop (or however it worked back then). Otherwise it's a good show we can share, and I guess we'll watch it until we get through all five seasons.

Camping at Lake Crescent: Log Cabin Resort
What to do when camping at Log Cabin Resort
I love summers on the Olympic Peninsula. I especially love Lake Crescent which is only 45 minutes from home. The last two summers she has been our go-to destination for a quick stay vacation--it's practically in our backyard.
Not to mention it was still close enough for Hubby to go to work. Poor guy.
As a child I remember my parents would pack up the trailer and off we'd go to Log Cabin Resort. I remember us kids roaming the trails behind the camp ground and laying claim to a beach area for water play.
This summer I convinced my husband it would be the perfect get-away.
Log Cabin RV spot you want to reserve
Like most campgrounds on the West side of the mountains, Log Cabin's are pretty tight. Getting there on a Wednesday or a Thursday is perfect as there's more room to maneuver your RV. By Friday it's pretty full with vehicles and RV's; so if you have a big diesel pick-up with your RV in tow, you might be challenged to park that baby.
We happened to get slot 7. Sigh...love that spot.
It's big. It's shaded. It just so happens to have a view.
It's also perfect for Marlee. I would take her for her morning and evening walk up the trails behind our spot. Just a few feet and off went her leash. She was in heaven.
I was happy our slide-out wasn't kissing our neighbor's door (Year before we were in slot 14...now that was close quarters.).
Definitely #7 is our Log Cabin spot!
What to do other than hang out by the lake
Sadly I must confess I have lived here 40 some years and I have not ventured too far off highway 101. There are sooo many trails and places to see. We're familiar with Sol Duc Hot Springs. You do need a Discovery Pass to access the road and all it has to offer. Since Hubby had a pass, we decided to take the afternoon to investigate.
Typically we go to the Sol Doc lodge and that's it. This time we drove all the way to the end of the road and contemplated a mini-hike. Warning...if you do not like a lot of people this may not be for you. Limited parking.
We didn't stay too long due to this. On our way back we stopped at different places along the road and hiked along the trails. The river is beautiful, And cold!
Because we had so much fun just checking out the river we decided to find a spot for a picnic the next day.
We found this place off the old Sol Duc highway. We just drove without really knowing what we were looking for. It was hot! When we pulled in and walked a bit to see if we could even get to the river, we looked at each other and smiled. We knew this was the perfect place for our picnic.
The water was deep, clear, and body tingling cold. Marlee was in heaven. Me, who typically is a water hound too, tip-toed around. I tried to find the shallowest cross-over to the log. About as shallow as it got was to my waist. Burr.
The log was a perfect diving platform. Marlee had no problem taking the plunge. Me, I needed a lot of self coaxing. Once I jumped, I practically walked out. It was that cold.
It was the perfect day.
It was also pretty exhausting--all that sitting in the sun and drinking beer is pretty tiring. Good thing our home-away-from-home offered the perfect spot for a quick nap.
Another stay vacation @ Log Cabin Resort, please!
Tell me all about your perfect stay vacation.
