I have repaired sprinkler systems and fixed do-it-yourselfer problem repairs. I get calls every day about problems people have with trying to repair their own systems.

Please read on to find out how easy it is to repair your own diy sprinkler system and even winterize it too! You'll be amazed at how easy sprinkler repairs are when you have the right information — and having the right information can save your from any sprinkler repair problems you might encounter. I guarantee it.
Here's what some of my satisfied customers have to say…
BUT although you will save a considerable amount of money you'll also save the time and hassle of waiting for your sprinkler repairman to arrive! And that's worth a lot too!
No more waiting and worrying about your sprinkler freezing up waiting for the sprinkler contractor to come and winterize your system.
And in the spring you'll be saving even more when you can turn it on yourself!SAVE that $60 to spend on something you want or need more!
Join the other happy DIY'ers that have repaired their own sprinkler systems AND who know how to winterize their systems who followed my EASY TO WATCH, STEP BY STEP SPRINKLER REPAIR AND WINTERIZATION VIDEOS.You'll feel proud when you smile and tell the neighbors…
"I did it myself!"
As you watch the sprinkler repair videos, you will know the best way to properly repair broken sprinkler heads, valves and lines, troubleshoot controller and wiring problems. Plus as an added bonus, I am including how to winterize your own sprinkler system .
You'll be able to do simple sprinkler repairs with the least amount of hassle and expense. Eliminate the guesswork, get the right parts the first time and then just follow my easy instructions.
And when you know the right, high quality parts to use, and why you use certain parts over others —
you won't get hung up in the process and end up calling a repairman anyway.
Every year I am called by home owners who get hung up in the process of repairing their sprinkler system, and they're unsure how to proceed. They don't know which part to buy or they bought the wrong parts or installed them wrong, because they did not have the right information they needed.
Now they're calling me to fix it!
Many people who try to repair their own sprinkler systems without the right information find it is very frustrating, and they waste a lot of time getting stressed out when it could have been so simple.
Please don't let that happen to you.
Because so many home owners want to save money and repair their sprinkler systems themselves, I looked to see what sprinkler repair information was available on the Internet. I was first very surprised to see lots of free information. It took me several hours of reading web pages and listening to lame do-it-yourself sprinkler repair YouTube videos —it was a real pain trying to wade through all of it! But the worst thing was…

The Virginia Tech Hokies have built a strong men's track and field program over the last few years that has been ranked this season. This past weekend, the Hokies competed in the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships and while the women's team did have a solid weekend, the men's team took the headlines.
The Virginia Tech men's track and field team won their second ACC team title this past weekend quite easily as the Hokies had 129 points, 36 more points than second place finisher N.C. State.
Arguably the star of the weekend was senior long distance runner Thomas Curtin who won the men's 5000 and 10,000 meter races. Curtin's performance in the 5000 was especially impressive as he was .22 seconds away from breaking the all-time ACC meet record.
There is no doubt that Curtin will be a contender to win a national championship in the 5000 after finishing seventh last season while he could also be a contender to win the 10,000 at the national championships.
One key to victory for the Hokies was the fact that they dominated the pole vault with the Hokies taking the top seven spots to build an insurmountable lead on the opening day of the event led by senior Chris Uhle winning the title. The Hokies have two talented pole vaulters ready to replace Uhle in sophomore Torben Laidig and freshman Deaken Volz who finished tied for second.
Uhle, Laidig, and Volz will all have their focus now on trying to earn First Team All-American status with all three having the ability to do that.
Freshman Matija Muhar was injured all spring with a shoulder injury but was finally able to compete for the first time this season this past weekend and blew out the competition as Matija Muhar beat his older brother and junior Jaka Muhar by over 7 meters in the javelin.
Matija Muhar is seen as one of the top young javelin throwing prospects in the world, and is definitely a sleeper that could make a run at being a First Team All-American as a freshman.
In his final ACC Championship, senior hammer thrower Thomas Kruzliak came up just short finishing second, but bringing in valuable points for the Hokies. However, Kruzliak is definitely a guy to watch at the National Championships as someone that has contended for a national title in the past.
Junior Neil Gourley came second in the 1500 and will definitely be a contender to earn some All-American honors this year while junior Patrick Joseph lost in the 800 final by only .03 seconds. Sophomore Marek Barta finished second in discus and while this wasn't his year, the gap between him and Virginia junior Filip Mihaljevic is not big at all and can definitely be conquered.
One person to watch for the future is wide receiver Samuel Denmark who is extremely fast and represented the Hokies this past weekend as a part of the 4×100 relay team. Denmark could be a guy to watch in the 100 and 200 as he was a highly-regarded track runner out of South Carolina in addition to being a three-star wide receiver.
After an impressive showing at this past weekend ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the Virginia Tech men's track and field has their eyes set on pushing for a big finish in the NCAA East Regional in Jacksonville and the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene.

By Rob Pasquinucci
I had a professor in college who constantly had that week's New York Times review of books on her coffee table. She told me she felt she didn't need to read all the new books out there if she kept up with the weekly review.
I feel the same way about the many, many books about public relations and marketing out there that I see touted on blogs, displayed in the bookstore or gathering dust in my Amazon wish list. What follows is a list of items I've either read or want to read. Since it's back to school time, why not assign some reading?
Brand Journalism by Andy Bull
Andy provides a nice cross-section of brands doing excellent work in this space and a great how-to on developing your strategy. He also explores some of the ethical concerns that come up when brands' "grasping hands" undertake journalistic pursuits.
This is a "must read" for content marketers.
Content Inc. by Joe Pulizzi
Joe's a great guy and I'm really excited to check out his next book, which should hit Amazon around the time you read this. Joe is truly the sharpest content marketing expert out there, but his humble hometown Cleveland roots make him much more approachable than other experts our there. If you aren't checking out the Content Marketing Institute blog every day, you should.
What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity by Jason H. Vines
I literally learned to read by looking at car brochures and Motor Trend as a kid, so this book combines a personal passion with my professional career. Vines uses some salty language and is definitely full of himself, but this book provides some great lessons for crisis communications. Vines gives us a front-row seat to many recent auto-industry crises, including the Ford/Firestone tire fiasco, Jeep's unintended acceleration claims, and a campaign against SUVs (which, by the way, Vines claims Jesus might drive). It's a funny, quick read.
What Did Jesus Drive at Amazon
And Then We came To the End by Joshua Ferris
This is a must read if you've ever worked at an agency, and a fun read even if you haven't. This novel takes a funny and often poignant look at agency life, complete with timesheets, coffee bars, economic downturns and snarky creative directors. Having worked at three agencies through two decades, I appreciate Ferris's eye for detail. He nails it in his first novel.
And Then We Came to the End at Amazon

Tender Heart, Keep Still!
Solo Show
C-Space, Beijing
March 3 - April 15, 2012
The propeller of the project is the artist's controlled intention of putting herself in a state of empathy with an unfamiliar audience by watching Chinese romantic movies from a list that she eventually narrowed down to several films of the director Jia Zhangke. The exhibition sustains what she built as the thinking pattern of a kindred-spirit, in which images of the artist's domestic environment and of her friends' life are combined with a piece of text cut in the painted surface of one work. The fragment resembles lyrics that could be read as an encrypted folk song, but actually the lines are selected quotes from the English subtitles of "Still Life", Jia Zhangke's most famous movie.
"Tender heart, keep still!" refers to the practice of drawing from life, when a fidgeting model compromises the observation and it can cause a defective study. It also connects with the movie's title. A logical reference to "nature morte", Zhangke's art is too layered for a safe bet on the obvious. The interpretation could be that stillness is an ideal that is set in his mind in the relation with the contemporary Chinese struggle to become more, as a people. In China , the important things are usually big, but in Jia Zhangke movies this identity is always deconstructed to such small elements as the turmoil of one person's heart. The comparison is even stronger in "The world", where the terms are reversed: the entire world is represented in Beijing at a smaller scale in an amusement park, something that could be experienced within a 15 minutes entertaining tour. One has to assume that the scale of the ideal growth would have to raise to such extension that personal turmoil would be surpassed and everything would float in a peaceful stillness, a blessed state in which the tender heart would find the never-ending satisfaction. Increasing scale produces a stillness effect that is only apparent for the observer at the inferior level. The explanatory image that comes in one's mind is about how one sees the sky as almost still. The universe seems frozen to the naked eye on Earth, although majestic movements and dramatic speeds are proved to be taking place there.
This idea of feelings being shared between systems parked on different levels, hence becoming convoluted, is what defines, for Ana Maria Micu, the reality. The first-hand experience is nothing but a hint and only when information is translated and moved forward, from one individual to another, becomes an authentic depiction of life. The process is not without its losses, as with any translation from one language to another, and much is transformed to unrecognizable states, but in its core preserves the truest nature of humanism. In our times, the restoration of faith, the soothing of the heart, comes out of the trust in the sharing process, not from the analysis of the information that it is being shared.

What's going on here?
Lately I have felt that God was saying people need a place to ask questions and get Bible based answers much as we used to have on the old Ask and ask A Pastor boards. I have also seen that people are interested in what concerns others and can and do gain understanding from reading these concerns. I have copied some threads from the archives to keep us from having to look at an empty board until people come to know about this and participate.
Anyone can post questions here. They do not have to be ilj members to ask. Charles and I and possibly someone else experienced in ministry will respond. If someone wants to have a question open for general discussion they do need to register and can then post it on the Christian Fellowship board.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday Israel's military campaign in Gaza may be an extended operation and he accused the territory's Hamas rulers of using "savagery" against civilians just like Islamic State militants in Iraq.
At a news conference in Tel Aviv, the Israeli premier said the Gaza war launched on July 8 "will be a continued campaign" aimed at restoring "calm and safety" to Israeli citizens.
Netanyahu said, however, that he saw a "new diplomatic horizon" ahead for Israel in the region, alluding to possible diplomacy with Palestinians ahead once the war was over.

The Board of the Ontario Cycling Association is pleased to announce that Cycling has been accepted into the Ontario High Performance Sport Initiative (OHPSI) and the Ontario National Centre Strategy for 2014-2015. The funding from these will leverage our existing High Performance funding to over $550,000. The funds will result in the hiring of three new coaches, the establishment of a daily training environment at the velodrome, track rental, support of existing programs and further development of our Rising Stars Academy program. The funding targets both sprint and endurance track cycling and provides for enhancement of our existing road, MTB and BMX programs.
The OHPSI program was designed in an effort to develop a comprehensive provincial high performance sport system which will allow for future sustained success of athletes and coaches at the very highest levels of international sport. The goal of the OHPSI program is to identify and support Ontario athletes who are best capable of achieving future international success on senior national teams in targeted winter and summer Olympic/Paralympic and Pan/Parapan Am Games sports.
Additionally, the Ontario National Centre Strategy's goal is to further support Own the Podium targeted sports with National Centres in Ontario and to ensure Ontario remains a leader in the development of Canada's medal winning athletes.
Through these two high performance programs, CSIO provides leadership, coaching support, sport science and sport medicine services, equipment and technology, competition and training camp enhancements, and facility access to create optimal daily training environments for Ontario athletes and coaches. The program also aims for CSIO to build stronger relationships with Provincial and National Sport Organizations (PSOs and NSOs), providing support to targeted athletes that are demonstrating they are on the pathway towards future international success. This approach is intimately tied and aligned to Own the Podium's vision and strategy to optimize a targeted approach to increasing Canada's potential for future international podium performances.
"Congratulations to all of the sports selected to be a part of the OHPSI and the National Centre Programs for 2014-15. We believe that providing a clear performance pathway for targeted athletes and coaches will help Ontario lead the way to achieving future podium success for Canada at the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games, the 2020 and 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond," said CSIO Chief Executive Officer, Debbie Low.
"Specifically, athletes and coaches will have the ability to integrate sport science and sport medicine into their daily training environments like never before with the opening of the new state-of-the-art sport institute this summer at the Toronto Pan Am Sport Centre and CSIO satellite locations at the Milton Velodrome, Pan Am Track and Field Centre at York University, and the Goldring Centre at the University of Toronto. This type of support will be instrumental in setting the stage for the transition of athletes from elite development to the more senior levels of National Team programming and delivering top results internationally."
"We very much look forward to working with the selected PSOs and NSOs, as well as working with our performance partner Own the Podium, in the delivery of each sports respective High Performance plan and optimization of the athlete talent pool in Ontario," continues Low. "The ultimate aim is the development of future international performers that can compete at the highest levels and be on the podium in Olympic cycles to come."
Thanks to our staff team for working with all of the parties to develop the program application and for their leadership in obtaining the funding.

Sweatshirts are probably the most popular item in my wardrobe, I've got a lot of them -a lot-!. They used to serve the purpose of keeping me warm while working out back in my track and field days, but those days are gone and over, now I wear them with errrthing.
Here are few ways to wear sweatshirts, outside the gym ;)

Growing up on Oahu in the 90s and early 2000s was honestly a lot of fun, and only a very small portion of the world's population can say that they were born and raised in a unique space like the islands of Hawaii. From family time spent at the beach, to eating all kinds of foods, to the mix of local, mainland, and international culture, Hawaii is a dope ass place to have a childhood. As a Filipino-American, music was a big part of my family's culture. Plainly speaking, Filipinos love to get drunk and sing karaoke. But while the older folks sang 70s and 80s love songs, my other uncles and cousins break danced and dj'd, and those images are some of my favorite "hip hop memories" from childhood. This week - I had the pleasure of interviewing a fellow island artist, Meta, whose poetry and rap skills have allowed him to tell his story as a young man from Guam, in various part of the world.
Meta is a poet and rapper from the island nation of Guam, of Filipino descent. Meta's artistic journey really began with spoken word poetry. "On Guam, I eventually became a well-established poet. At all the slams I went to, the DJs would play a lot of underground hip-hop. Until that point, I never really paid attention to the underground, especially because most of the rap that came out of the underground that I did manage to listen to were full of misogynistic, bragadocious type of lyricism. But the DJs at the slams were playing a lot of hip-hop that had a very different type of lyricism. I got introduced to Jurassic 5, Hiero, Cunning Lynguists, Native Guns, and Blue Scholars. Then I started listening to these hip-hop acts and realized that it was in fact possible to be a rapper without having to perform stereotypical lyrics; that putting deeper meaning into lyrics was something that could be done" stated Meta.
Since day one Meta has been grinding and there's no doubt about that. Meta's Youtube channel has music and poetic content dating back to over 6 years and he continues to share content to this day. He has traveled to numerous places around the world as a renowned spoken word poet, and by the looks of his catalog, has found and harnessed the power in his mind and voice. Thus, the artist was previously known as "Metaforce," after someone in the audience at one of his shows told him that he had the "most vivid metaforce." Till this day, Meta doesn't really know what that means, and he has dropped the 'force' from his name, and now officially goes by Meta. "But the force is still strong in me, Lol" said Meta. (I speculate though, that what the fan wanted to say was Meta had a way with metaphors...which is supreme! Haha)
As a rapper, Meta has been doing his thing for a long time, having competed in a number of cypher events both online and in person. Most notably, Meta is a 3-time semifinalist Team Backpack online auditioner, and has competed at the Mission Underground Live Cypher Draft for 3 years, including its New York City and Los Angeles locations. Year by year, Meta continued to prove himself as a serious emcee with thought provoking bars and storytelling skills. I met Meta briefly at Team Backpack's 2015 Mission Underground event in LA. That year, Meta represented Guam along with Guam Rapper/Producer/DJ Fullcastflip. Although the two artists didn't make it to the Top 12, they have both grown in their network through Team Backpack and as individual entrepreneurs. However, Meta still expressed some frustration when it came to "making it" as an artist on Guam. "I'm sure it's the same anywhere for any independent artist trying to make a living off their passion, but Guam has no real market for rappers. It was always difficult to find paid gigs and people were always hesitant to throw any form of monetary support toward shows, workshops, and products," said Meta. The artist eventually left Guam in July 2016. He stated, "I knew that I was too far from broader artistic opportunities. I love Guam, but there's a glass ceiling for independent artists and I hit it a while back."
Even further than rhyme and flow, Meta has a deep sense of responsibility to his community in Guam and social issues happening there. While he often includes these topics in his raps, Meta's ability to capture and hold people's attention is most showcased in his spoken word poetry. Most recently, Meta was the "Spoken Word 4 the World" 2015 winner, hosted by Global Call for Climate Action. He traveled alongside many other talented poets to Paris, to perform poetry themed around climate change, at different events during the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21). His poems "Island Haze" and "Enduring Storms" speaks of his experience of the effects on climate change on his home in Guam. The two poems in particular are raw depictions of how our sustainable/non-sustainable actions affect our natural environments even close to home.
Meta also has a sense of pride and mindfulness regarding his Filipino heritage. "I'm from the island of Guam, where Chamoru people are the indigenous population. I was born and raised there, but ethnically, I'm actually Filipino. Guam is an unincorporated territory of the US. My parents emigrated to Guam from the Philippines in the late 80s, early 90s. Guam is a melting pot of cultures, ethnicity, and is in a push-and-pull state with American political philosophies. All the cultural complexities of being a Filipino born on an unincorporated territory definitely influenced my perception of the world, which essentially shaped how I viewed my writing. I write a lot about cultural identity, generational borders, and personal struggle," said Meta.
For Meta, it seems like work is never done. But he continues to make strides in all aspects of his life and I commend him as a fellow islander, Filipino brother, and for his social advocacy in his art. Furthermore, he often jumps from rap to poetry gigs almost effortlessly. This ability to adjust his performances for such variant audiences is a skill I personally admire. "Being involved with Guam's youth poetry slam organization, Sinangan-ta Youth Movement, really refined my ability to perform. I had a few great mentors who helped develop my early stage presence. Shoutouts to Melvin, Kie, and Fanai. Part of practicing for me involves rehearsing my pieces at least 10 times a day at full force. I also rehearse in front of a mirror and create what poets call 'blocking' to my words. Blocking is assigning specific body gestures to certain portions of a piece to help elaborate the emotion or message. Same thing with rap performances, except with rap, I can actually throw in some dance moves! Hahaha. Figuring out my performance style was a long, long process, but essentially it took practice, constructive criticism from others, and watching other artists perform too," said Meta.
Meta currently resides in Denver, CO in hopes to continue to build his artistic career through his own entrepreneurial efforts. He has successfully raised funding in various campaigns for his endeavors, but seeks to develop a more long-term sustainable strategy. Often times, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are overlooked in modern political conversations as well as art and talent. Meta stated, "The AAPI history is such an integral piece to the development of America as a country. China Towns, K Towns, large congregations of Filipinos, and Pacific Islanders exists all over the United States. That shit wasn't magic. They exist because they were there for generations, contributing to the literal building of America, its streets, its architecture, its businesses, its economy, its sociology, and even its politics! How is it that mainstream media can readily create caricatures, parodies, or shallow portrayals of pieces of immigrant lives, but not allow products of immigrants, who've become artists, the upward mobility within its structures? It's whack, but ey, we're doin it and we'll keep doing it regardless.

Font Crush : Ambassador
I've never met a hairline font I didn't love, and this is no exception.
I'm also highly fond of their 'Grace & Taste' tagline, and slightly sad I didn't think of it first -
Ambassador was designed by Juraj Chrastina and is available for purchase here (30% off right now!).
As you may have assumed I have a thing for fonts. They come in all shapes and sizes with elaborate swashes and elegant details. The right font can easily make or break a design. Every Friday, I'll share some of my favorites and recent purchases here, hoping to inspire a typography addiction in everyone.
For additional font inspiration check out these lovely ladies:
Little Bit Heart | Lauren Elise Crafted | Bubblerock | Hank + Hunt | Super Swoon | Blush Printables | The Aerialist Press | Palm Papers | Allison Owen | DesignEditor

Love It, Don't Trash It: How-To Tips/
(Published on Wednesday, February 17, 2016, in The Daily Citizen, Dalton, GA.)
Recycle & Reuse: Love It, Don't Trash It
During the month of February show Whitfield County some love by helping to prevent litter. Litter, trash in the wrong place, is completely preventable. In fact, it's easier and less expensive to stop litter from happening in the first place than it is trying to clean it all up after it's along the side of the road. Litter can have negative effects on the environment harming wildlife, diminishing our water supply, and even reducing property values. Not to mention it just looks bad – really bad.
In an effort to encourage residents to reduce the amount of litter in the community Keep Dalton-Whitfield Beautiful has launched an educational campaign called "Love it, don't trash it!". Residents have the opportunity to learn about the negative impacts of litter, and about action steps, they can take to prevent litter in the first place. If you clean up litter or do one of the recommended action steps take a photo and share it on your favorite social media site with the hashtag #livelitterfree.
Here are a few of the tips you can implement starting in your own home where you'll have the most control over what happens to your trash. Get started by finding out which materials you can recycle and which need to be disposed of. Set up indoor recycling bins and trash cans in different rooms of your home. Besides having bins in the kitchen consider adding some to the bathroom. Products like plastic bottles for liquid soap can be recycled. Periodically collect the recyclables and waste from inside your home and place them in the trash cart or recycling bin for collection outdoors.
When taking your trash cart to the curb make sure that all trash bags are tied securely and placed inside the can so that the lid closes completely. Open lids equal exposed trash which means trash can be blown out or fall out onto the road. If you have curbside recycling, place lightweight items at the bottom of your bin and heavier ones on top to prevent recyclables from falling out. On the same day, you take your trash out to the curb pick up any trash you may see in your front yard and put that in the appropriate container.
Show your neighborhood some love too by taking just ten minutes to pick up any trash you may find along the sidewalk. Carry a plastic shopping bag with you to pick up litter as you enjoy a walk with your pet. If you have children, challenge them to find ten littered items and pick those up. Reward the ones who find ten items the fastest, or start a scavenger hunt for different types of litter. If you have a dog that you frequently take on walks outside plan to collect your pet's waste. Pet waste is litter too and should be removed and disposed of in the trash.
While traveling in your vehicle, either to run errands locally or on a long road trip, be prepared to prevent litter on the go. Having a small trash bag or plastic shopping bag in your vehicle will make it easier to collect trash in the car. This will discourage passengers from throwing trash out the window which results in litter along the side of the road. When you arrive at your destination, or get back home, properly dispose of the trash collected while in the car. If you smoke you can place an ash receptacle in your vehicle to collect ash and cigarette butts. When you arrive at your next stop find a receptacle to empty the waste into.
When taking your family to a local park carry out what you bring in. Food wrappers, drink bottles, leftover food, and diapers can all be collected and taken home. Or deposit them all at the next available trash bin. If the trash bin at the park is overflowing, take your trash home for proper disposal instead of adding to the pile and causing more litter on the ground. Show your favorite park some love by picking up litter, even if it's not yours, and throwing it in a trash bin.
Business owners can also show some love to Whitfield County this month. Simple actions like keeping the front of the property clean and dock doors swept and tidy can help keep litter from finding it's way onto the road. Encourage employees to properly dispose of or recycle their waste, plant flowers at the entrance of the building to make it look beautiful, provide designated smoking areas with ash receptacles and provide clearly label trash and recycling bins so the materials reach the correct destination after disposal.

Nice that you fixed the start-up loop problem.
Nice that you fixed the start-up loop problem.
Sort of repetitive, and not really enticing. You could (as always) add some type of upgrade system, and have the blocks not be randomly generated. Despite it's faults, it's still good for a few minutes of amusement.
Dude, your profile says your 14. So please people, stop saying "I made this when I was 14" just to get pity for your bad game. Fess up, you just made this game and you know your game is bad. And thus you resorted to seeking pity to get ratings. Yes it's an awful game. But it's certainly not the worst.
The music was nice, but my space bar doesn't work, making this infuriating, but what I could play, I enjoyed.
Music's not bad either.
It would make more sense to reset with the space key.

Which makes Passover like any other holiday in this respect — you have to think about the food way ahead of the actual event and the mountains of matzo meal and farfel and potato starch are a reminder to stock up and start planning. So too in the food business. I've been experimenting with Passover recipes for months and have already given several cooking demonstrations of Passover dishes. Last week I blogged about the one for the UJA Federation of Greenwich Annual Education Symposium (you'll find a really delicious recipe for Quinoa Salad in that post). The Symposium was a half-day event featuring keynote speaker Linda Scherzer, former Middle East correspondent for CNN and Israeli Television. Then came the breakout sessions, of which mine was one. You can read all about it here. Well, in addition to that Quinoa Salad recipe, I also showed the group how to make The Easiest, Fastest Tiramisu in the World. Made with Macaroons. Perfect for Passover. It takes less than 15 minutes to make. And yes, it isn't the authentic, cooked, egg-yolk enriched custardy tiramisu you may have eaten. But it is pretty good! And looks good and takes almost no time at all. The Easiest, Fastest Macaroon Tiramisu in the World: 12 ounces Mascarpone cheese 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoon cold brewed espresso coffee 2 tablespoons Sabra coffee liqueur or Orange-flavored brandy* 1 teaspoon cocoa powder 1/2 cup finely chopped bittersweet chocolate 12 macaroons Beat the mascarpone cheese with an electric mixer set at medium speed for about 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Add the ricotta cheese, sugar, coffee and liqueur and beat ingredients for another 2-3 minutes. Crumble 12 macaroons into 6 dessert dishes. Spoon equal amounts of the cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with the cocoa and chocolate. Makes 6 servings *or use more espresso coffee or mix equal amounts of instant coffee and water together. You can double this and serve it in a large serving bowl, layered with crumbled macaroons.

Irvine Blackman, Brian I. Whitlock
Chances are you've never even heard of the subject matter that we are about to discuss: viatical settlements (VS). A VS is a transaction involving an existing life insurance policy that is sold. Surprisingly, both the buyer and seller come out after-tax winners. Here's an example from the seller's side of the story. Joe, age 62, owned a life insurance policy on his life with a death benefit of $700,000 and a cash surrender value of $282,000 that was subject to a loan of $201,000. So Joe had equity of only $81,000.
An analysis of Joe's insurance situation clearly showed that he and Mary (his wife) could buy $1.2 million of second-to-die life insurance for the same combined annual premium and interest cost as Joe's old policy. Done! Joe and Mary created an irrevocable life insurance trust to own the new $1.2 million policy. The $1.2 million will ultimately go to their kids...tax-free.
The old policy was sold to an investment group in a VS for $157,000 in cash. It should be noted that Joe's obligation to repay the $201,000 loan was assumed by the investment group, so in effect, Joe got $358,000 ($157,000 + $201,000) for selling his policy. Over the years Joe paid $214,000 in premiums so the first $214,000 (of the $358,000) was tax-free. The balance—$144,000—is a profit on the sale of the policy and enjoys capital gains tax treatment at only 20 percent.
Now let's look at the other side—from the investor's viewpoint—of the VS story. A number of entrepreneurs have formed companies that seek out people who want to sell their policies in a VS. These same companies seek out investors to fund the policy purchases. Typically, according to the investment groups, the investors earn from 12 to 20 percent per year, sometimes higher. When the income from the VS is received, it is taxed as ordinary income. Of course, the income would be tax-free if received by a qualified plan (for example a 401(k) plan, a profit-sharing plan, or an IRA). Because of the potential high rate of return, you should consider a VS if you have funds in a self-directed IRA or any other type of qualified plan.
When The Baby Is Born, Call
Okay, you are a new Mom or Dad (or Grandma or Grandpa). Using the miracle of tax-free compounding you can use a small amount of money to create millions of dollars. Here's an example: Joe wanted to know what the retirement amount would be for his new grandson, David, if he put away $10,000 per year for seven years in a PRP (private retirement plan). The projected plan would allow the funds to accumulate until David attained age 65. Are you ready? David would get $698,381 every year to age 95. $21 million.
Actually, Joe would make a $10,000 gift each year (for seven years) to David to pay the premiums on a high cash surrender life insurance policy. If David were to die before age 95, a death benefit would be paid to his heirs.
Another example: Jack, wanted a PRP for his granddaughter (Sara, age 9) to provide $40,000 ($10,000 per year) for a college education and $50,000 at age 30 as a down payment on a house. The retirement payment starting at age 60 was projected to be $137,653 per year.
A computer model told us Grandpa Jack's plan could be implemented for an annual premium of just $10,000 for six years. A total investment of only $60,000 will not only get Sara started in life, but will take care of her retirement. Amazing!
A PRP works well as long as the person receiving the benefits is about age 45 or younger.

MXM is Enchanted by Their "Diamond Girl"
Produce 101 Season 2 alumni Im Youngmin and Kim Donghyun, collectively known as MXM, have made their first comeback with their second mini-album Match Up!
Title track "Diamond Girl" is a funky and bright pop song that is certainly catchy and possesses a different sound from debut track "I'm The One." The overall genre of the new album is funk influenced rather than pop, bringing a fresh sound to the K-Pop industry.
The music video is by far the best part of this release. The bright neon aesthetics used throughout the video fit the melody perfectly, and the variety of those bright colors adds a pop to the video throughout. The out-of-this-world aesthetic is fun and cheery and presents a cute and endearing side to the duo. Not to mention the boys show off their dancing skills in the video; and of course, there's lots of diamonds.
Bright and Jazzy Vibes
As for the album, the one criticism that can be brought up is how every track more or less sounds the same. If you're a fan of musical versatility on an album, Match Up will likely not be on your top favorites list, since every song has a strong funk influence instead of having multiple tracks in different genres. The second track on the album, "ERRDAY," is the only track that has a modern hip-hop influence in the beat. It throws off the listener in the beginning as it comes off as a slow ballad in the first few bars. The remaining songs often feature the recognizable funk guitar as the main melody line.
As a fan of funk appearing in K-Pop (the only songs that come to mind thus far are VIXX's "Dynamite" and Triple H's "365 Fresh"), I personally enjoyed the new MXM album. That being said, the traditional jazzy-funk sound isn't used very often and tends to be a hit-or-miss with fans, which brings a lot more uncertainty to a release than sticking to the generic K-Pop style. Regardless, diversity of musical sound is important in keeping K-Pop dynamic, so even if funk isn't your thing, there is at least something to appreciate about it. MXM may have flown under the radar because of releases from bigger Produce 101 Season 2 alumni, but this duo is definitely talented and worth a listen.
"Diamond Girl" Title Track Score: 8/10
Music Video Score: 9.5/10
Match Up Album Score: 7.5/10

FIFA is pleased to announce the continuation of its global philatelic programme for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil. FIFA's current programme is a legacy of the FIFA Centennial Philatelic Programme, which was created in 2004 to celebrate FIFA's 100-year anniversary. The programme has since continued with great success under the title of the "Official Commemorative Philatelic Programme" for both the 2006 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and is being rolled out once more for next year's event in Brazil.
"The philatelic programme offers postal administrators all over the world a great opportunity to play their part in the celebration of world football's greatest event. The programme enables a strong national engagement in a global programme for an event which brings together the world's best national sides in front of a global audience of billions of football fans," says Thierry Weil, FIFA Marketing Director.
2014's edition of the event is eagerly anticipated, with the FIFA World Cup returning to Brazil for the first time since 1950. In doing so, the event will take place in a nation which is often depicted as the spiritual home of football, a country where football is an intrinsic part of the national identity.
The philatelic programme is already up and running in the host country of the FIFA World Cup™, where Brazil's national post service, Correios, recently launched two special edition stamps to honour the hosting of the FIFA Confederations Cup which took place in six Brazilian Host Cities in June of this year. Further special edition commemorative stamps will be launched in the build-up to 2014, including stamps featuring FIFA's registered brand assets such as Host City Posters, the Official Emblem of the event and the popular Official Mascot, Fuleco.
The opportunity for postal administrators to use such renowned brand marks on commemorative stamps and ancillary products also exists outside of Brazil, and FIFA is currently in the process of welcoming global postal administrators who wish to participate in the Official Commemorative Philatelic Programme of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™.
FIFA has appointed the company Bolaffi, experts in philately, for the development, promotion and distribution of the Official Commemorative Philatelic Programme of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ on a global basis. Bolaffi will provide its great expertise and experience and strive to bring the worlds of philately and football fans together as part of the build-up to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™.

Pretend you just contracted a strange illness that caused your hands to turn purple. You go see your doctor, and he refers you to another doctor that specializes in curing weird hand pigment diseases. You breathe a huge sigh of relief, knowing that you've found the perfect person to solve this very unsightly issue.
In that way, brands are a lot like patients. They have specific content writing needs and want to find writers who can do the best job meeting them.
What we're talking about here is a content writing niche. In a recent piece on personal branding, I addressed the importance of identifying your niche with a quote from John Gordon: "Experts are not called upon because they are the smartest person in every room; they are called upon because they are the smartest person in a specific room."
Finding your niche, or your areas of expertise, will do wonders for your personal brand and your wallet. That's because brands aren't just looking for good writers; they're looking for good writers with very particular areas of expertise. By carving out a content writing niche and becoming a subject matter expert, you'll see more freelance job opportunities and higher paychecks.
(Create a writer portfolio today to showcase your talents and earn writing opportunities from name brands.)
So, how does one go about figuring out their niche? Here are five ways to get started:
Leverage Your Experience
If you have a day job, or used to work in a particular industry, you can leverage that experience to your advantage. And be creative! Let's say you worked at a Verizon store, where you sold customers mobile devices and accessories. That kind of experience can give you authority on a range of topics: consumer mobile technology, technology retail, contract sales, retail management, window displays, and more. List out topics you know about from jobs, hobbies, and school, and then identify the ones that get you most excited. If you're not passionate about the topic, it's probably not the niche for you.
Be Specific
Let's say you want your content writing niche to be "finance." That's a good place to start, but there are millions of other writers out there doing the same thing. So force yourself to be more specific. "Living on a budget" is a step in the right direction. Even better: "Living on a budget in college." The more specific you get (within reason), the more likely you are to be a top choice for brands and recruiters. This list gives you a sense of the type of specificity to shoot for, and might even inspire you to find your niche.
Align with an Industry
When you're thinking about your niche, think about topics that major brands might be interested in writing about. Let's say you're debating between automobile insurance and poets from the 1800s. While the latter may be valuable on trivia night, it probably won't be terribly lucrative for your content writing career. To get a better idea of what types of content brands look for, make a list of companies that align with your experience and spend some time browsing their blogs or media sites.
Think About Your Audience
If you have a broader niche, you can differentiate yourself by defining your audience. Brands are thrilled when they find writers who are already speaking to their target market. Whether it's young moms, stay-at-home dads, Latina women, or high school students, knowing who you reach is an important part of carving out your niche.
Still stuck? One way to get inspired is to channel your listening skills. Read blogs that interest you. Participate in conversations on social media. Attend events you find intriguing. The more you engage, the more you will naturally stumble upon (and develop knowledge about) the topics that resonate most. Plus, when you spend time listening, you'll develop a keen sense of what people are talking about and where the gaps are, two things that can help guide you toward your niche.
A final tip? Keep writing. By joining a writing community like Skyword's (which you can do here), you'll expose yourself to more opportunities that help you unleash your inner expert.

Data management is a method used to handle, organise, structure and store research data throughout the research process. The support and service that SND gives to researchers involves questions of data documentation, access to different types of data and information on secondary data analysis. This may also involve SND helping the researcher with legal and ethical aspects when archiving, managing and disseminating data.

Teachers will be striking today in opposition to the introduction of, amongst other things, performance-related pay (PRP).
I'm not a particular fan of PRP as it's hard to measure some aspects of work when it goes beyond just mechanical tasks.
But sometimes I think that the NUT and the NASUWT object to any changes on principle and a recent survey about teacher dissatisfaction carried out by the NASUWT may not be totally unbiased.
So it's interesting to see the pay research just published by the OECD which shows that teachers in England do quite well compared with the 34 OECD countries plus the BRICs.
Starting salaries of £19,668 are above the international average of £18,736. And they then increase more rapidly than other countries over the next decade to £28,746 compared to £23,053 elsewhere.
After that however they plateau and the other countries almost catch up after 15 years with an average of £24,763 in primary schools and £27,055 in secondary schools. The international average at the top is £29,611 and £32,544 for primary and secondary schools respectively.
So if schools want to compete internationally for the best teachers or pay their staff the best rates in the developed world then perhaps PRP is one way to do that (and at the same time weed out incompetent teachers)

Paris (AFP) - France's president on Thursday rejected any cooperation with Bashar al-Assad whom he accused of being a "de-facto ally" of jihadists wreaking havoc in Syria and Iraq, and urged a "humanitarian and military" response to the threat.
Speaking at an annual Paris gathering of ambassadors from around the world, Francois Hollande touched on crises in both countries as well as those rocking Ukraine and Libya -- all of which he said affected France directly.
"At the heart of the Middle East, a barbaric organisation is attempting to become a state to impose a caliphate," he said of the Islamic State radical group, whose campaign of extreme violence has terrorised civilians and rivals alike.
Hollande reiterated his proposal to hold an international conference in Paris "to organise the coordination of international action against the Islamic State on humanitarian, security and military fronts".
"A big alliance is necessary but let's be clear -- (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad cannot be a partner in the fight against terrorism, he is the de-facto ally of jihadists," he said.
His comments came after Assad's regime said Monday it was willing to work with the international community, including Washington, to tackle IS militants that have emerged from the chaos of a conflict that has killed more than 191,000 people.
The United States has already carried out reconnaissance flights on Islamic State positions in Syria in surveillance seen as a precursor to possible air strikes against the radical group, which it is already carrying out in neighbouring Iraq.
'Total confusion' in Libya
Hollande also touched on the crisis in Ukraine, where Western intelligence believes Russian army units are taking part in the four-month conflict that has seen more than 2,200 people lose their lives.
"If it turns out that there are Russian soldiers present on Ukrainian soil, it would be intolerable and unacceptable," he said, asking Moscow to "respect Ukraine's sovereignty" and "stop its support for separatists" in the east of the country.
And on Libya, which he said was his current "major concern", Hollande called on the United Nations to provide special support for authorities in the north African nation, which is sliding ever deeper into chaos as militias fuel an escalating war.
Over the past weeks different factions in the country have backed rival prime ministers and national assemblies, while Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have carried out air strikes against Islamists.
At the weekend, Islamist fighters seized Tripoli airport, compounding a crisis that has been boiling since the fall of long-time dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011.
"France asks the United Nations... to organise exceptional support for Libyan authorities to restore their state," he said, without detailing what form this support should take.
"There is total confusion" in Libya, he warned.
"Jihadist groups have taken control of important sites and not only oil sites. There are two parliaments, two governments -- even if for us there is only one legitimate one -- and there are militias," he said.
"If we do nothing... terrorism will spread to all this region."

Chuck Taylors: Leading the way in gender expression for a century
August 15, 2016: Increasing numbers of men are interested in sneakers made in collaboration with female athletes and celebrities. The development is in contrast to how athletes have influenced men's sneaker fashion historically.
The news is the result of a recent exclusive interview between Elizabeth Semmelhack and Couponbox.com, a rapidly growing US coupon portal. Semmelhack is Senior Curator at the BATA Shoe Museum in Toronto and author of Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture.
The impetus for the interview was the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Converse All Star. In celebration of it, Couponbox.com investigated how and when All Stars, aka Chuck Taylors, went from being a men's basketball shoe to being a women's fashion statement.
Female Athletes Influence Men's Fashion
Semmelhack stated that the first sneaker made for a female athlete was a big hit with men, but that the manufacturer was not interested in coming out with a male version. The sneaker in question was the Nike Air Swoopes, made in 1996 for WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes.
Oppositely in 2015, male consumers wanted Rihanna's PUMA Creeper so much that the company came out with a male version, Semmelhack said. PUMA hired Rihanna as Women's Creative Director in 2014.
Hipster Fashion of the 1990s and Today
Semmelhack also stated that it is nearly impossible to define exactly how and when Chucks made the transition from basketball sneaker to fashion icon.
In spite of that, she said that it was likely during the late 1990s and early 2000s that the All Star truly gained its star-studded status. She said that this was because it became part of "hipster fashion," which attracts both men and women.
According to Semmelhack, the problem with defining when this transformation took place is knowing at which point people adopted the All Star to express a personal sense of self.
Roots in the 1950s
Nonetheless, it seems that the All Star's transformation from basketball shoe to fashion staple may be rooted in the 1950s and 60s. According to Couponbox.com research, the earliest appearance of someone wearing the All Star on television as non-athletic footwear was in the program Lassie in 1954.
The first male celebrity to be seen wearing All Stars in film was Anthony Perkins in Tall Story (1960), a romantic comedy about college basketball.
The earliest appearance of a female star wearing the iconic sneaker was in the CBS television program "Shower of Stars" where Shirley MacLaine wore them while dancing on a piano in 1956.
Not surprisingly, it was during the 1950s that Converse introduced the low-top "Oxford" All Star, essentially changing the high-top sneaker from a men's basketball shoe to unisex fashion accessory.
Borrowing from the Boyfriend's Closet
Couponbox.com asked Semmelhack how she believes the All Star crossed the gender barrier. In response, she offered the following comment: "Essentially, the All Star was of interest specifically because it was a men's shoe," she said.
"For centuries, women have borrowed from their boyfriend's closet, so to speak. Today, the All Star is connected to ideas about authenticity, and historically, men's fashion in general has been connected to this as well. Women adopt menswear to access it."
A Beacon of Tradition
In the century since its release in 1917, the design of the All Star has changed very little. For Semmelhack, this is a part of its essence.
"I think that the cultural value of the All Star is that it is perceived as not changing," she said. "Fashion is defined by constant change, and many sneakers are at the forefront of that change because of technological innovation or evolving styles."
"However, the All Star stands as a kind of beacon of tradition and is therefore linked to ideas of nostalgia and authenticity."
Women in Converse Infographic
In honor of All Star's importance in women's fashion, Couponbox.com created the world's first infographic on the subject. The graphic is a visual history of iconic celebrity women wearing Converse from the 1950s to today.

How to Use Online Coupons - Online Shopping Tips
Do you shop online?
Do you shop online much? Do you use online coupons? If you are not, then you should be. You may not be aware that you can save on virtually anything you shop for with online coupons. The savings aren't limited to just a few items that you never use. You can shop online and save on everyday items such as clothing, toys, electronics, and even food. AnyCodes.com (formerly CouponSnapshot.com) is the best online coupon site I have found. They offer a ton of coupons from a wide variety of stores.
These stores are interesting, as some are unique resources that you probably haven't even heard of, while others are everyday stores that you may shop in regularly. Check out the list I've compiled from AnyCodes.com.
Save on Clothing by Shopping Online
Kmart, Target, and Kohl's are department stores that cater to the average or lower-income wage earner. They offer clothing at reduced prices and often have great sales. Look for online savings at these stores for up to 60% off! You might find more of your style at Express, Tommy Hilfiger, or American Eagle Outfitters. What about something sexy at Victoria's Secret? Baby clothes at Carter's? Look for upscale clothing at Nordstrom's and Macy's, using exciting coupons to save.
Save a ton on Children's Clothing and Toys
Got a baby? Save at Diapers or Kangaroo Boo (what a delightful name!) Who hasn't heard of Fisher Price or Toys R Us for all your needs for toys for tots and older? Also, for older kids, online coupons will save you on gaming toys at stores such as Atari and Gamestaq. Everybody knows how expensive it is to clothe a growing child, plus outfit them with different toys for their changing needs. Using online coupons is a great way to save on these necessary expenses.
Save on Electronics and Even Food!
Do you like to keep up with the latest electronics? Even Wal-Mart is featured on AnyCodes.com, currently offering discounts on the iPod. Stores such as Sears, HP, and CompUSA offer deals on printers and cameras. Save on gaming at GameStop. Buy a nook at Barnes & Noble to download your latest favorite books. The electronic possibilities are all there online.
How about a free candlelight dinner? That's the first online coupon I came to recently when searching for restaurant coupons at AnyCodes.com. How cool is that? Restaurant coupons vary, so keep checking back to see if your favorites, such as Subway and Golden Corral, are on there, or branch out and try places you haven't been to, such as Texas Roadhouse or the Cheesecake Factory.
You will see instructions like this when you click on the offer you want from a particular store:

Vee....Any savings hub is a hub for me....you know that! I'm Miss Thrifty Nifty!! If it isn't on sale, offering a rebate, bogo, or takes a coupon....I'm not buying it!
Now...I'm taking a nap before you write another hub!!!!
We have all the above stores a short distance away, so I think it has to be a little cheaper than paying for shipping costs.
Voted up useful and inteesting, Joyce.

Two 90-year old guys, Leo and Frank, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Leo was dying, Frank visited him every day. One day Frank said 'Leo, we both loved playing softball all our lives, and we played all through High School. Please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's softball there.'
Leo looked up at Frank from his deathbed and said, 'Frank, if it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.' Shortly after that, Leo passed on.
A few nights later, Frank was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of light and a voice calling out to him: "Frank... Frank!" 'Who is it?' asked Frank sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?'
'Leo-- it's me, Leo.'
'You're not Leo, Leo just died.'
'I'm telling you, it's me, Leo' insisted the voice.
'Leo! Where are you?'
'In Heaven,' replied Leo. 'I have some really good news and a little bad news.'
'Tell me the good news first,' said Frank
'The good news,' Leo said, 'is that there's softball in Heaven. Better yet all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.'
'That's fantastic,' said Frank 'It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?'
'You're pitching Tuesday.'
