gratefulness innovator: Self Improvement Month: Get Organized

Self Improvement WordleThis month is Self Improvement Month. All this month I will do a weekly post to help you improve yourself by getting organized.

Last week we took a home assessment for Self Improvement Month. This week we put that plan into action. This week it is time to get organized!

Look over your home assessment list and let?s get started.

  • You want to first gather your supplies. (Trash bags, boxes, sharpies, etc.)
  • You want to get started in one area first.
  • Sweep through the house organizing according to the plan you wrote out last week.
  • Immediately take out the trash and take the donations to where you have already designated them to go.
  • Start containerizing what you have decided to keep.
  • Put everything in their place. You should already have the designated spots preplanned from your outline last week.

That?s it! You now have completely organized your home. Give yourself a pat on the back and a cup of tea. Now this process can take you several weeks to complete. It?s not like the TV shows you see where everything is tip top in 48 hours. So don?t get discouraged at the length of time it may take to get everything in order. Just keep working your plan and you should have no problem having an organized home in no time.

Next week I will show you how to maintain what you have now put in order. Because maintenance is the key to success.

Until next week?

Whitney Tilson Value Investing Congress - Business Insider

The 8th annual Value Investing Congress (VAC) starts in New York City on Monday, and that means some of the deepest thinkers on Wall Street will be presenting ideas that could rock the world of investing.

At least, that's what's happened in the past. The VAC is where David Einhorn once presented his devastating ideas on Green Mountain. It's also where Bill Ackman delivered his thesis on MBIA and the problems with bond insurers before the financial crisis.

So yeah, it's a big deal.

The VAC was founded by 20-year investing veterans John Schwartz and Whitney Tilson. As Tilson tells it, the idea came from a constant desire to keep learning from the best people in the field. For example, he's sat in on Seth Klarman and Joel Greenblatt's Columbia Business School classes and of course, attends the mother of all learning experiences, the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting.

The VAC is a way for Tilson and Schwartz to contribute to that tradition.

"It's a labor of love trying to share with other investors what I've benefitted from ? listening to smart investors and asking questions," Tilson told Business Insider. "I think panels dumb people down... I became convinced the best learning format was to get the worlds smartest investors together... and the most critical part of it is taking questions, engaging with the audience."

It's an audience of people that, as Tilson put it, "pray at the church of Graham, Dodd, Buffett and Munger."

This year speakers include David Einhorn and Bill Ackman (again), as well as Glenn Tongue from T2 Partners, Barry Rosestein from JANA partners and more. The main thing is that the VAC is a community of experienced of thinkers that are wise to the mistakes most investors make and are willing to share those mistakes.

That said: We asked Tilson to share some of what he's learned over the years, and he came up with two common mistakes investors make pretty quickly. One is following the herd, and another is projecting a company or industry's immediate past into the future.

"If a company's earnings or stock have been going up people project that forever," he said. "The reality is that trees don't grow into the sky, and there's a very real thing called reversion to the mean."

Green Mountain Coffee is a perfect example of that. It was a hot product with patent protection. When that protection was gone, the company said that its business wouldn't change ? obviously that wasn't the case.

Another mistake Tilson shared: Following Wall Street recommendations. Analysts are conflicted because the same companies they research can be their bank's clients. There's supposed to be Chinese Wall, but that isn't always the case, especially because companies can retaliate against analysts for bad ratings.

"Generally speaking they're the last people to warn investors on impending troubles," said Tilson.

There are exceptions to this analyst rule, of course, but more helpful than knowing who the exceptions are is speaking analyst.

"You have to be clever and read between the lines of what an analyst is really saying...It's like the Russians reading Pravda during the Communist era," he added.

If you're missing this round of wisdom, don't worry. Tilson and Schwartz will hold another Value Investing Congress in May, where you can learn how to decode.

Iranian news agency picks up Onion article as fact

(AP) ? A joke by the satirical newspaper The Onion appears to have gotten lost in translation.

An Iranian news agency picked up ? as fact ? a story from the paper about a supposed survey showing an overwhelming majority of rural white Americans would rather vote for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than President Barack Obama. But it was made up, like everything in the just-for-laughs newspaper, which is headquartered in Chicago.

The English-language service of Iran's semiofficial Fars news agency republished the story Friday, several days after it appeared in The Onion.

The Iranian version copied the original word-for-word, even including a made-up quote from a fictional West Virginia resident who says he'd rather go to a baseball game with Ahmadinejad because "he takes national defense seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does."

Homosexual acts are punishable by death in Iran, and Ahmadinejad famously said during a 2007 appearance at Columbia University that "in Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."

The Iranian version of the article leaves out only The Onion's description of Ahmadinejad as "a man who has repeatedly denied the Holocaust and has had numerous political prisoners executed."

The article was featured prominently on the Fars website alongside its usual fare of stories about advances in Iranian military technology, condemnation of Israel and Iran's nuclear program. The story appeared to have been taken down by about mid-day, Chicago time.

Calls to Fars representatives were not answered Friday.

The Onion reveled in the fact that it had been taken seriously.

Onion editor Will Tracy put out a tongue-in-cheek statement that referred to Fars as "a subsidiary of The Onion" that has acted as the paper's Middle Eastern bureau since it was founded in the mid-1980s by Onion publisher T. Herman Zweibel.

"The Onion freely shares content with Fars and commends the journalists at Iran's Finest News Source on their superb reportage," Tracy said in jest.

It's not the first time a foreign news outlet has been duped by The Onion. In 2002, the Beijing Evening News, one of the Chinese capital's biggest newspapers, picked up a story from The Onion that claimed members of Congress were threatening to leave Washington unless the building underwent a makeover that included more bathrooms and a retractable dome.

Stocks Will Rise in Q4 if History Is Any Guide ... - Yahoo! Finance

Follow The Daily Ticker on Facebook!

Stocks are falling mid-morning Friday, the last trading day of the third quarter. But the major U.S. market indexes have rallied all year in the face of continued concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, the European debt crisis and slowing growth in China.

The S&P 500 Index (GSPC) has gained more than 6% in the current quarter and 15% since January. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) is up nearly 5% in the past three months and 10.4% year-to-date.

The economic fundamentals are still weak in the U.S. ? the economy grew a paltry 1.3% in the second quarter ? but the Federal Reserve's aggressive bond-buying program pledges to stimulate growth have in turn helped lift stocks higher.

Investors and hedge funds alike have welcomed the Fed's stimulus measures ? commonly referred to as quantitative easing ? with open arms. Even as the stock market has flirted with new highs, a growing number of investors are becoming risk averse.

According to a new survey by Russell Investments, just 31% of investors say stocks are undervalued ? a 35% drop since the beginning of July. There are a lot of questions hanging over the market as it enters the fourth quarter: the outcome of the presidential election, the possibility of a "fiscal cliff" (i.e. a potent combination of large-scale tax hikes and spending cuts) and the likelihood that the tax code will be overhauled.

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have a few more weeks to convince voters that their respective economic policies are the best for moving the country forward. The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows voters are split on the candidates when it comes to fixing the economy. But 42% of respondents say they believe the economy will improve in the next 12 months.

From an investor standpoint, Americans have benefited under the president. The S&P 500 has increased 74% and the Dow 67% since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. Another Obama term could mean more good news for investors - at least in the short term.

According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, stocks have advanced in every fourth quarter since World War II (excluding 1948) when an incumbent president wins the election. The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task and Henry Blodget point out in the accompanying video that markets are presently acting like President Barack Obama will be re-elected.

President Obama's Weekly Address: Urging GOP Lawmakers to Help Homeowners

Four years after the economic crisis threatened to destroy the American economy, the president is urging Republican lawmakers to help homeowners who were unfairly disadvantaged by the housing crisis at the heart of the recession.

"We know the biggest cause of that crisis was reckless behavior in the housing market," the president said in his weekly address. "Millions of Americans who did the right and responsible thing - who shopped for a home, secured a mortgage they could afford, and made their payments on time - were badly hurt by the irresponsible actions of others."

As his first term nears a close, the president boasted, "We're moving in the right direction."

"Home sales and construction are up. Prices are beginning to rise. And more than a million families who began this year owing more on their mortgages than their homes are worth are now back above water," he said.

In an election-year appeal to middle-class voters, the president touted his administration's efforts to revive the housing industry and help responsible homeowners.

"Now, there are some who think that the only option for homeowners is to just stand by and hope that the market has hit bottom. I don't agree with that," he said in a not-so-subtle jab at GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

"But we can do even more if Congress is willing to do their part," Obama said.

He urged lawmakers to act on his plan to help homeowners refinance at lower rates.

"It's a plan that has the support of independent, nonpartisan economists and leaders across the housing industry," Obama said. "But Republicans in Congress worked to keep it from even getting to a vote. And here we are - seven months later - still waiting on Congress to act. ? This makes no sense. Last week, mortgage rates were at historic lows. But instead of helping more and more hardworking families take advantage of those rates, Congress was away on break. Instead of worrying about you, they'd already gone home to worry about their campaigns."

The president admitted "it's going to take a while for our housing market to fully recover," but said it would take longer "if Congress keeps standing in the way."

Existing Orange T-Mobile customers being transferred over to EE

Android Central

UK mobile customers are eagerly anticipating the first LTE services from the newly announced EE (Everything Everywhere.) While current Orange T-Mobile customers will be required to transfer to an EE LTE plan to take advantage of those extra G's, it seems they're not the only ones seeing a transfer. 

Existing customers on a regular Orange or T-Mobile contract are also seeing the switchover. It happened to one of our devices following issues with web browsing over cellular data. A quick call to customer services, some settings updates to change over to EE, and we're back online. Something to bear in mind for customers on the two networks if you run into any issues. 

The Orange representative we spoke to informed us that the changeover is ongoing, so customers should expect to see it soon.

GoHealth: Ten Preventive Health Services That No Longer Cost ...

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Sep 29, 2012) - GoHealthInsurance, an insurance technology platform nationally recognized for helping millions of Americans compare health insurance quotes, encourages consumers to take advantage of the services now available at no additional cost to eligible health insurance policyholders as a result of health care reform.

Insured consumers stand to benefit from a mandate in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that eliminates copayments, and offers coverage prior to meeting the deductible, for an extensive list of preventive health care services. Consumers should check with their health insurance company to see if they are eligible for these services.

Here are just ten preventive care services that no longer cost consumers when they go to the doctor:

1.?Type 2 Diabetes screenings for adults with high blood pressure
2.?Cholesterol screenings for adults of certain ages or those at higher risk
3.?Depression screenings for adults
4.?Diet counseling for adults at higher risk for chronic disease
5.?Breast cancer mammography screenings every one to two years for women over 40, and cervical cancer screenings for sexually active women
6.?Screenings for women to detect certain sexually transmitted diseases including Chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis
7.?Rh incompatibility screenings for all pregnant women and follow-up testing for women at higher risk
8.?Domestic and interpersonal violence screenings and counseling for all women
9.?Autism screenings for children at 18 and 24 months
10.?Immunization vaccines for children from birth to age 18

"Preventive health care can have a tremendous impact on the cost of health care services and health insurance coverage. In many cases, preventing medical issues is far less costly than treating them. Consequently, this type of care is often more cost effective for health care providers, health insurance companies and policyholders," says Mark Colwell, Marketing Manager at GoHealth.

About GoHealth
GoHealth and its customer-facing website GoHealthInsurance.com is a health insurance technology platform, working with over 100 health insurance carriers and more than 10,000 licensed agents across the United States. Since the company's founding in 2001, the GoHealth platform has helped nearly 30 million Americans shop and compare health insurance quotes. GoHealth, based in Chicago, Illinois, was recently named in the top 100 best workplaces in Chicago by the Chicago Tribune and is one of Inc. Magazine's 500's fastest growing companies in America.

Manipur, Railways enter last 8 of national hockey

Bangalore, Sep 28

A youthful Manipur, coached by former India star Tikken Singh, held their nerves to beat Association of Indian Universities 4-3 and qualify for the quarter-finals of Hockey India?s senior National Men?s Hockey championship, here Friday.

The hard-fought win saw Manipur finishing on top of Pool H with nine points to advance to the knock-out stage while the collegians finished second after losing a well-contested match.

Also through to the next phase of the competition were the Indian Railways who overcame talented Uttar Pradesh 3-1 to top Pool F with an unbeaten record.

Railways and Manipur joined defending champions Haryana (Pool A), Punjab (Pool C), Air India (Pool E) and Tamil Nadu (Pool G) in the knock-out stage that commences Sunday.

Starring in Manipur?s thrilling win were Jayantakumar Meitel and Gangamba, who scored two goals apiece, while the Universities replied through Barkat Singh (2) and Hansraj (1).

An action-packed first half saw Manipur scoring twice as Meitel and Gangamba found the mark in the 17th and 19th minutes, but the collegians fought back to equalize through Barkat Singh (25th) and Hansraj (32nd).

On change of ends, Manipur stepped up the pressure with Gangamba giving them the lead with a 36th minute strike only to see Barkat putting Universities back on part in the 42nd. Meitel then sealed the issue in the 55th minute and Manipur managed to nurse the lead to the finish.

The Railways found their heroes in Sanjay Bir Singh (15th, 34th) and Victo Singh (42nd) while Chandan Singh (22nd) brought some solace for Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier, hosts Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand registered their third wins to keep themselves in contention for quarter-final berths.

Karnataka easily defeated Delhi 9-0 and Andhra Pradesh routed Mizoram 15-3 in two Pool B matches while Jharkhand overwhelmed Goa 15-0 to maintain their unbeaten run in Pool D where Guwahati-based Sashatra Seema Bal later beat Uttarakhand 5-1 for their second win.

Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka both have nine points apiece, but the home team is better placed on goal-difference. The two teams meet Saturday to decide who will qualify for the quarter-finals.

Topping the Jharkhand goal-rush was drag-flick specialist and India player Diwakar Ram who converted seven penalty corners and another international Ajitesh Roy netted two while Wilson Minz, Anil Xaxa, Banmali Xess, Birendra Lakra, Shashi Topno and John Minz contributed one goal apiece.

The results:

Pool A: Bhopal 2 (Irfan Ali 45th; Merajuddin 66th) beat Bengal 0.

Pool B: Karnataka 9 (Pundalik Bellary 1, VR Raghunath 1, Vikram Kanth 1, MK Mudappa 1, Shanker Patil 1, PL Thimmanna 1, SK Uthappa 1, Nikin Thimmaiah 1, Nitin Thimmaiah 1) beat Delhi 0.

Andhra Pradesh 15 (Kishore Krishna 3; Ajay Babu 4; Ramesh Krishna 3; Sandeep Raju 3; Avinash Chindrapu 2) beat Mizoram 3 (Lalthakima 1; Lalduhawma 1; Lalrinngheta 1).

Pool D: Jharkhand 15 (Diwakar Ram 7; Ajitesh Roy 2; Wilson Minz 1; Anil Xaxa 1; Banmali Xess 1; Birendra Lakra 1; Shashi Topno 1; John Minz 1) beat Goa 0.

Sashatra Seema Bal 5 (S Romikumar Singh 2; L Joychandra Singh 1; Santikumar Sharma 1; H Surchandra Singh 1) beat Uttarakhand 1 (Prakash Singh Mehra 1).

Pool F: Indian Railways 3 (Sanjay Bir Singh 2; Victo Singh 1) beat Uttar Pradesh 1 (Chandan Singh 1).

Assam 6 (Magalinga Swami 1; Ratan Mutana 1; Rajesh Boro 2; KD Cariappa 1; Own Goal 1) beat Tripura 0.

Pool H: Manipur 4 (Jayantakumar Meitel 2; Gangamba 2) beat Association of Indian Universities 3 (Barkat Singh 2; Hansraj 1).

Bihar 6 (Riazuddin 2; Niraj Tigga 2; Gabriel Herenj 1; Anup Topno 1) beat Andaman & Nicobar 0.

Direct Line IPO may be marred by industry probe

* OFT to decide on anti-trust probe Friday - spokesman

* Direct Line expected to open order book Friday

LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Britain's consumer watchdog

could on Friday call on competition regulators to probe the

motor insurance market just as its biggest player, Direct Line,

enters a critical phase in its planned stock market listing,

London's biggest in over a year.

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT), which in May provisionally

recommended the industry be investigated on the grounds that

"dysfunctional" competition forces up the cost of car insurance,

will make a final decision on Friday, a spokesman said.

The watchdog's provisional recommendations for an

investigation by the Competition Commission are usually followed

by a formal referral.

"In most cases where there has been a provisional decision,

this has resulted in a reference," the OFT spokesman said.

The OFT's decision is expected to come as Direct Line begins

accepting investor orders for its shares in an initial public

offering that is likely to value the company at about 2.5

billion pounds ($4.1 billion).

Direct Line announced its intention to float on Sept. 14,

and would under a typical timetable be expected to open its

order book within two weeks.

Direct Line's owner, Royal Bank of Scotland, is

selling the business at European regulators' request to offset

government support it received in the 2008 crisis which left it

82 percent state-owned.

Direct Line and RBS declined to comment.

Analysts have said a competition probe could make it more

difficult for motor insurers to boost their profits through fees

from ancillary services such as the provision of replacement

vehicles.

Direct Line, which also trades under the Churchill and

Privilege brands, is Britain's biggest motor insurer, covering

about one in three cars on the country's roads.

New material, graphene, may soon replace silicon for technology industry, experts say

ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? Norwegian researchers are the world's first to develop a method for producing semiconductors from graphene. This finding may revolutionise the technology industry.

The method involves growing semiconductor-nanowires on graphene. To achieve this, researchers "bomb" the graphene surface with gallium atoms and arsenic molecules, thereby creating a network of minute nanowires.

The result is a one-micrometre thick hybrid material which acts as a semiconductor. By comparison, the silicon semiconductors in use today are several hundred times thicker. The semiconductors' ability to conduct electricity may be affected by temperature, light or the addition of other atoms.

Fantastic potential

Graphene is the thinnest material known, and at the same time one of the strongest. It consists of a single layer of carbon atoms and is both pliable and transparent. The material conducts electricity and heat very effectively. And perhaps most importantly, it is very inexpensive to produce.

"Given that it's possible to make semiconductors out of graphene instead of silicon, we can make semiconductor components that are both cheaper and more effective than the ones currently on the market," explains Helge Weman of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Dr Weman is behind the breakthrough discovery along with Professor Bj?rn-Ove Fimland.

"A material comprising a pliable base that is also transparent opens up a world of opportunities, one we have barely touched the surface of," says Dr Weman. "This may bring about a revolution in the production of solar cells and LED components. Windows in traditional houses could double as solar panels or a TV screen. Mobile phone screens could be wrapped around the wrist like a watch. In short, the potential is tremendous."

The researchers have received assistance in gaining patents and founding a company from NTNU Technology Transfer AS, a collaborative partner to the programme entitled Commercialising R&D Results (FORNY2020) at the Research Council of Norway.

However, the path to these findings started with basic research funded under the Research Council's Clean Energy for the Future Programme (RENERGI) and the now-concluded programme, Nanotechnology and New Materials (NANOMAT), which initiated the findings.

The researchers will now begin to create prototypes directed towards specific areas of application. They have been in contact with giants in the electronics industry such as Samsung and IBM. "There is tremendous interest in producing semiconductors out of graphene, so it shouldn't be difficult to find collaborative partners," Dr Weman adds.

The researchers are hoping to have the new semiconductor hybrid materials on the commercial market in roughly five years.

China hits back at Japan PM's statement on islands

BEIJING (AP) ? China on Thursday attacked Japan's prime minister as obstinate and wrong for saying his nation won't compromise in their dispute over who owns tiny islands in the East China Sea.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said in New York a day earlier that the islands are clearly an "inherent part of our territory, in light of history and international law." He said that issues over the islands should be resolved peacefully and by the rule of law.

"China is strongly disappointed and sternly opposes the Japanese leader's obstinacy regarding his wrong position" on the matter, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement that repeated China's stance that Japan was ignoring historical facts and international laws.

"The country seriously challenges the post-war international order, but tries to take the rules of international law as a cover. This is self-deceiving," Qin said in a separate statement.

Senior diplomats from both countries have met this week in New York and Beijing in an attempt to mend ties frayed by the spat over the island group in the East China Sea known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.

The islands, held by Japan, are uninhabited but sit astride rich fishing waters and potentially large reserves of natural gas. They are also claimed by Taiwan.

Japan's purchase of some of the islands from their private Japanese owners two weeks ago sparked sometimes violent protests in China that targeted Japanese-owned stores and factories.

Noda defended the purchase as an attempt to ensure their "stable management," but conceded "it seems that China has yet to understand that."

A River Runs Through...Gale Crater

The "Hottah" rock outcrop, an ancient stream or river bed (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

It?s one thing to spot stuff from orbit above an alien world, quite another to get in close.

Earlier Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery of Gale Crater, now home to NASA?s Curiosity rover, had shown signs of what appeared to be something akin to an ?alluvial fan? spreading downwards from the crater rim. It was extremely tempting to conclude that at some earlier time there had been a flow or flood of liquid water washing into and across a section of the crater floor.

Close up of the crusty stream bed, a larger 'clast' is circled (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Now Curiosity has come across the ground-truth, including a rocky outcrop that is made of gravelly pebbles (clasts) cemented together into a crusty conglomerate. This is a chunk of up-tilted, uplifted ancient stream bed. The pebbles probably originated from the crater rim a few hundred meters higher up and their range of sizes, somewhat rounded shapes and placement all point towards their having been washed and rolled in water that was somewhere between ankle and hip deep.

The view from orbit, color coded to show relative elevation. The alluvial fan from the Gale Crater rim is highlighted (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA)

It is a remarkable discovery. A great deal of speculation has been made about the nature of channel-like features across the surface of Mars. Water has always been a prime contender for carving and depositing these structures, and now it really does seem that it once flowed, albeit perhaps temporarily, on the planetary surface to leave this formation of gravel fixed into a mud-like cement.

Today Gale Crater may be drier than the driest desert on Earth, but a long time ago there was at least a brief respite as water gurgled and sparkled in the sunlight on Mars.

Successful approaches to make money on the web

Make money on the web

It?s a simple fact that affiliate marketing online is one of the most basic and many successful approaches to make revenue on the web. Nevertheless, you?ll have to make an energy suitable until eventually you are able to deliver cash flow from a affiliate small business.

How to make money online

It amazes me the amount of individuals really don?t seize e mail addresses on their web page. E mail marketing and advertising may be just one on the best means of building loyalty and rely on using your prospects.

One example is, any time you signal up with Goal.com?s publication, you count on them to mail you discounts and info on goods on you are able to invest in on Focus on.com . What else would you need to do at Focus on.com but store?

Having said that, for those who have an details webpage concerning how to perform tennis, as well as in your publication you are consistently seeking to acquire individuals to order from unique athletics suppliers you are affiliated with, which is a di9fferent tale.

Gradually your subscribers will begin to think that they are getting pitched to time and time again once more. Very before long they?ll have the concept that you are just making an attempt to get paid a commission and market solutions.
Combine suitable data with merchandise suggestions
It is essential that you uncover a good blend delivering high quality data and gentle providing. Put simply, just about every electronic mail you deliver out really should not be advertising and marketing a thing. Anything you?ll want to just deliver out very helpful info that the viewers can use.

Then at the time in addition to a though you are able to toss in a very advice for just a solution you think your subscribers will probably be involved in. This is when you plug the business you are affiliated with.

Let us say you deliver a publication concerning how to fantastic your tennis swing. You could undergo the approaches inside your electronic mail and for the conclude you?ll be able to propose your favorite tennis training video from amazon.com. This is when you deliver them to obtain the online video and Amaon.com?s affiliate software pays you.

So even if you?re endorsing an item, ou however started the e-mail by giving them beneficial specifics of the subject of tennis. What is terrific is that if you need to do this proficiently, it is not going to occur off as ?selling ?. It just seems that you are producing a advice to get a solution you like.

I use Aweber
I attempted working a publication script by myself server, but it really wasn?t quite strong. Until you are very into programming, i?d suggest employing a 3rd celebration web-site to deal with our publication.

With Aweber, you could gather demographic data out of your site readers then they subscribe, and you?ll deliver focused massages centered on the data you gather.

So as an example, let us say when folks subscribe in your publication you consult them for his or her age in addition to their sexual intercourse. With aweber, you could mail a focused electronic mail out to girls less than the age of 30 in the event you want.

Aweber also tracks click-thru fees for hyperlinks within your e-mail and so they deliver exceptional reporting.

You may be struggling financially, and concerned about what will happen next. Just go over this article and you?ll be able to find ways to fix your financial situation. Once you learn what you can about your finances, you can deal with any financial situation.

Pay close attention to everything your credit report shows. You have the ability to check into your credit report free of charge. Make sure that you do this twice a year to ensure that there are not any unauthorized changes on your report, or someone has not committed identity theft using your name and information.

Buying a car is a very serious decision. Compare different options and go to different dealers to find the best price for your new vehicle. If you aren?t finding deals you are satisfied with, try going online.

If you participate in online banking take notice of what type of alerts are offered by your bank. Banks utilize modern technologies, like e-mail and text messages, to keep you updated about your account. Sign up for both low balance warnings to prevent overdrafts and unusual withdrawal warnings to catch fraud within minutes.

Have 2 different savings accounts; one that you can dip into on a rainy day, and one that is strictly for emergencies. Depending on your situation, you may choose to save in order to get out of debt or for a future expense.

Try to save money on sheets, blankets and pillow by buying them at a discount store. This could help you in saving both money and time through the years as you maintain the same type of quality when it comes to your sheets. By purchasing your bedding at bargain stores, you can save money.

Work on a budget for yourself and stay with it. While you may be thinking that the money you are spending is well within your means, most likely you are just wasting lots of money each month. Write down every purchase, no matter how small. When the month is almost over, carefully go over each item on your list. That way, you will know when to cut back.

Avoid making bad choices by reducing alcohol consumption. Stick to water when you are out, so that you can make clear-headed decisions that you will not regret later.

Try using free checking accounts. Look at getting an account with a credit union or a local bank; you may also want to check out online banks.

You have to get out of debt before you can rebuild your credit score. It all starts with making essential cutbacks, so you can afford bigger payments to your creditors. For example, consider dining in your own home, instead of grabbing take-out, or limit the amount you spend on social outings. You will have to cut back your spending and sacrifice some things if you are serious about credit repair!

Set aside a portion of your income to protect against unforeseen emergencies. If you have some savings for an emergency you will be protected if you lose your job, get sick, get hurt or face a disaster.

You want to have a high credit score. Having a high credit rating will allow you to have lower interest rates than those with lower scores. Lower credit scores will affect your ability to get housing, cell phones and even jobs with good companies. Safeguard your credit score by making good credit decisions.

Think about putting some money in foreign investments. The easiest way to get some international diversification is via no-load mutual funds that invest in the stock of foreign companies.

Solid plans make for solid finances. When you know specifically what you are saving for, it is a lot easier to stick to your budget and be motivated to reach your goals as soon as you can.

Your old laptop can make you some extra money if you need it. A broken laptop is worth a little something, and one that is working or fixable is worth even more. Even broken electronics can have value, even if it is just enough for a tankful of gas or a some other necessity.

When trading in the Forex market it is important to watch the trends. Always be informed, this way you know when is the best time to buy low and when to sell high. Don?t sell on a downswing or an upswing ever. Have a very clear goal in mind if you are choosing to move your money before the trend has fully played out.

If you really want to immediately improve your financial situation, cease from paying the full price for anything. Lose your affiliation to certain brands and only buy when you have coupons. If your family usually uses Tide, for instance, but you have a good coupon for Gain, choose the less expensive option and pocket the savings.

Do not fall for scams promising you a better credit score by changing your report. Lots of credit repair companies want you to think that they can fix any situation of bad credit. They can?t fulfill such claims, because credit problems are individual. To guarantee success would be a fraud and no one should make this promise.

Now you should better understand finances and be less stressed about them. Use the tips you found here, and keep learning to improve your financial life. This is the start of a new money saving, debt-free you! Enjoy the benefits of becoming financially secure.

Victim 1 in Jerry Sandusky trial has book deal

(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File)

NEW YORK (AP) ? A key witness against convicted child molester and former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, known in court papers as Victim 1, has a book deal and will soon reveal his identity, a publisher announced Thursday.

Ballantine Bantam Dell said that "Silent No More: Victim (hash)1's Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky," is coming out Oct. 23. The memoir will be co-written by the victim's mother and psychologist and "will share how he survived years of shame and secrecy, harassment and accusation, before reporting Sandusky's actions to the authorities, and will offer a hopeful and inspiring message for victims of abuse," Ballantine announced.

Victim 1, now 18, will reveal his identity on the day of the book's release in an interview with ABC's Chris Cuomo.

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. But Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., plans a donation to a charity for victims of child abuse.

Victim 1 first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky's conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Prosecutors said some of the assaults took place on the Penn State campus. Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next month and is likely to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for life.

Victim 1 testified for the prosecution that Sandusky approached him through a summer camp for youth sponsored by The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth that the former coach had founded. Their initial contacts consisted of football games and swimming, and Sandusky would attend the boy's wrestling tournaments.

Physical contact began with a hand on his leg in the car, Victim 1 said, and he began spending nights at the Sandusky home in State College, about 30 miles from his own home in Lock Haven.

Kissing and back rubbing during those overnight visits, when he was in his early teens, progressed to oral sex, he testified, sobbing. He said Sandusky eventually told him: "It's your turn."

"I don't how to explain it, I froze," he said. "My mind is telling me to move but I couldn't do it, I couldn't move."

He told jurors his own behavior worsened, going from a well-behaved child to fights with relatives and bed wetting. His grades deteriorated. After Victim 1 began trying to avoid Sandusky, he asked his mother about websites for child molesters, "to see if Jerry was on there," he testified.

His mother set up a meeting with school guidance counselors, a process that led to the opening of a police investigation and produced criminal charges against Sandusky in November. Messages seeking comment left Thursday for Victim 1's civil lawyers, Slade McLaughlin and Michael Boni, were not immediately returned.

The Board Game Family Dixit Odyssey game review - The Board ...

Dixit Odyssey is all about letting your creativity juices flow. It?s a card game full of cards with very abstract and distinct illustrative artwork that let players? imagination run wild.

The playing pieces you move along the score track are shaped like little bunnies ? like the little white rabbit that Alice in Wonderland chased down the rabbit hole. And like Alice, players are transported to a world of wild imagination.

The first time we played the original Dixit card game, Trevor was immediately enamored with it. So Dixit Odyssey was an easy choice of a game to buy him for his birthday last year. Which also means it?s no surprise that it?s one of his most highly rated games.

Can the whole family enjoy Dixit Odyssey?

Dixit Odyssey cards

Let your imagination run wild!

Even though the recommended ages for Dixit Odyssey are 8+, we think it?s a great game for kids even younger and the rest of the family. Since there isn?t any text to read you don?t need to worry about kids being old enough to read. And we all know how creative kids can be. Open up these abstract illustrations and set their imagination free. In fact some of the most creative statements have come from Caleb, our youngest.

The only catch with playing with younger kids is that sometimes they want to be too descriptive in their statements. But with a little coaching on that point, they?ll be off and running.

Sometimes the tougher challenge is for older players. Too much adultitis and adults will have a harder time being imaginative.

How to play Dixit Odyssey

Dixit Odyssey cards and board

Fantastic artwork abounds!

Playing Dixit Odyssey is very simple and Trevor covers it in his video review. But since we know not everyone watches the video review, we?ll give you the quick overview.

Players take turns being the ?Storyteller? ? meaning they select a card from their hand of cards and say something about it. It?s completely open to what they say. They could say a sentence, a couple words, a single word, a whole story, or even just make a sound. The catch is to not be too specific or too vague.

The Storyteller than places their card face down on the table and the others players then select a card from their hand that may also work for what the Storyteller said. They also place their chosen card on the table. Once everyone has placed a card, the Storyteller mixes them all around and then sets them out in random order next to the side of the board.

Then all players but the Storyteller guess which card they think is the Storyteller?s card. They place a peg in their cool player board to make their choice. Then everyone reveals at the same time and points get awarded based on how everyone voted.

Then it?s on to the next Storyteller. Very straightforward game play.

The fun of Dixit Odyssey, lies in the creativity it induces. Great stuff!

(I?ll also mention that Dixit Odyssey has additional ways to play based on the number of players ? so you can mix it up with even more players.)

Which version of Dixit should you get?

Dixit Odyssey boards

Cool player boards to cast your vote.

Dixit is definitely a game that we think you should try. It?s great for opening your mind to think in new, creative, and imaginative ways. The real question though is which Dixit game you should buy.

Asmodee has published a number of Dixit games and will most likely continue to do so. Here are the Dixit game options as of this writing.

  • Dixit (full game and cards)
  • Dixit 2 (just cards ? 84 more to add)
  • Dixit Odyssey (full game and cards)
  • Dixit 3 (just cards ? 84 more to add)
  • Dixit: Journey (full game and cards)

Every Dixit game is full of unique artwork so choosing the version based on the illustrations won?t suffice. Instead it?s best to determine who you?re most likely to play it with and when. And for us we think Dixit Odyssey is spot on.

Dixit Odyssey bunnies

Fun playing pieces to track your score.

The original Dixit game was awarded the Spiel des Jahres winner in 2010 (Best Game of the Year) ? which obviously helped it become so popular and spawn many expansion games.

While the original Dixit board game has great artwork, it really doesn?t play well with more than 6 players. When we played it with a number of couples we had to play it in teams. And we found that playing in pairs/teams really slowed the team down and didn?t lend itself to as much creative flow ? mostly because creative ideas by one person would be shot down or watered down by their game partner.

We haven?t had the chance to play Dixit: Journey yet as it just came out this year. But like the original, it only has tokens for up to 6 players.

So for playing with more than 6 players, Dixit Odyssey is the way to go. Even though we?re a family of 6 we know we?ll play Dixit with more than just us, so having a version that allows for more players is the way to go for us. There are also additional ways to play Dixit Odyssey with larger groups which we think are also great.

Another cool thing about Dixit Odyssey is that the game box is large enough and has space for all the Dixit cards available to date.

Dixit OdysseyOf course, with such a cool game that?s all about the illustrations, chances are we?re going to get some of the other Dixit games to have more creative artwork to play with.

How does Dixit Odyssey score on the ?Let?s Play Again? game meter?
Dixit Odyssey gets a good score on the ?Let?s Play Again? game meter. The first time we played, it was inevitable that ending the game once a player reached the top of the score track wasn?t acceptable. They wanted to play through all the cards. So rather than it being ?let?s play again? it was simply, ?let?s just keep going?.

Definitely a good sign!

Other great games for more than 6 players:

Heating Cooling Service News Blog rooftop vs ground level cooling ...

it is tune-up season for cooling systems across the chicagoland area, and many houtilize owners are calling in to have this service performed by chicago warmther repair. we almethod s ask each consumerthe location of their air conditioning condenser, and many respond with confusion. most people have only ever seen a residential air conditioning condenser on ground level, and are astonished to hear that some people actually have this portion of the system on the rooftop of their houtilize . in the town of chicago, placing the cooling system on the rooftop of a houtilize has become very popular, and we thought we would share with you some of the pros and cons of having your next cooling system placed on the roof of the houtilize as well.

why you should have a rooftop a/c

  • security: when an air conditioner is placed on a rooftop, it is safe from all kinds of vandalism and thievery. every summer, hundreds of air conditioning machines in the chicagoland area are stolen and scrapped for parts, and placing the machine up on the roof, protects it from the sticky hands of burglars.
  • safe from damage: every year, we get calls from houtilize owners that nicked their refrigerant lines with a weed whacker or lawn mower, and subsequently lost all of the refrigerant within the system. nowadays they have a giant repair to deal with, and it all could be prevented if the machine was placed on the roof.
  • backyard silence: noisy condensers are very normal, and if you have had one or if you have a neighbor with one, you knowadays how annoying the excess noise can be. a rooftop cooling system is far enough amethod that silence can be restored to your backyard space.
  • additional space: in the town, each houtilize is crammed close to the next, and backyard space is scarce at best. the average cooling system requirements about 6 square feet of space when put ined, and when you have only a small space available, 6 feet could mean a lot. placing the machine up on the roof frees that space for additional backyard activities.
  • cleaner systems: rooftop machines are consistently cleaner than ground level machines. although they should still have their annual tune-up to keep peek efficiency, these machines are not exposed to the same levels of dust, dirt, and additional airborne debris that ground machines take in daily.

why you should not have a rooftop a/c

  • challenging tune-up: the giantgest hitch with rooftop machines is access. if you have stairwell access to the system the hitch isn?t as bad, but sometimes you will need to have a ladder. four seasons servicemans carry 40 ft ladders on their trucks in order to access these systems. also, water spigot access is limited on a rooftop.
  • system neglect: when you have your cooling system located on the roof, it is easy to forget to schedule your annual tune-up. a ground level system sits in your backyard as a constant reminder of the need for tune-up, and neglecting the system could lead to unwanted stop workingures and high energy costs.

as you can see, there are defiantly more pros than cons when it comes to a comparison between ground and rooftop air conditioning machines. so, the next time you need your cooling system substitute d, think about the possibility of moving the machine to the roof and think about four seasons for your put ination!

Choosing Charlotte Pass Ski Resort

For those who are looking for a more secluded and boutique resort to go skiing and snowboarding in Australia, Charlotte Pass Ski resort might just be the place they should make reservations with. Set in Mount Kosciuszko, it is one of those parks that are less frequently visited, although the place is beautiful and relaxing nonetheless. It is one of the oldest resorts in Australia and it is named after Charlotte Adams, the first woman to scale the heights of Mount Kosciuszko in 1881 at the lowest temperature.

Small and Intimate

Unlike Chile Ski Resorts and others, Charlotte Pass Ski resort is small and intimate. It features only two terrain parks: the Freestyle Terrain Park and Charlottes Play Park. The first one is ideal for adults and it offers jumps, rails and tabletops. The second one, on the other hand, is suitable for children and it has mini jumps, snake trails and woop-de-doos. The entire resort can only be roamed around by skiing, and it only features a few lifts.

Foods and Drinks

Aside from its quiet and beautiful terrain, the resort also features a lot of facilities that will make any visitors stay worthwhile and relaxing. Like Chile Ski Resorts, it is home to a number of bars and restaurants that offers a variety of menu for everyone to enjoy. Arches Restaurant is the best among these. Not only do they serve a la Carte food on a daily basis, but they also offer a special buffet during Fridays and Sundays as well as a country style breakfast. Arches also have a cocktail lounge, where aprs ski can sit back, relax and enjoy a special drink made by the bartenders. It is open every afternoon.

By doing this, one can get the passes quicker and they can sometimes get certain promos that are not available elsewhere. Likewise, getting there is also smooth and stress-free. Locals from Queenstown to Wakana can visit the resort via driving, although to get to the site itself, they would have to ride Skitube.
