The all new Active Line has arrived!

Discmania youth attacks!

Let's face it - the sport of Disc Golf is changing fast. Probably never before in it's lifespan has Disc Golf seen so many big changes in such a short time period in so many different aspects of the sport. Everything from the discs, the gear, the courses, the players and the professional tournaments has evolved very fast in the past few years. We here at Discmania are all about pushing the sport forward the best we can, and we take pride in saying we've not done such a bad job doing so.

What seems to be the most essential factor to the development of the sport is, quite unsurprisingly, the youth. After the "hippie years" Disc Golf has been seeking for a direction somewhere between a fun past time activity and serious professional sport. Of course the majority of Disc Golfers are still just playing for fun, but in the past few years we've seen a whole new generation of young athletes that spend their free time not just playing but really practicing for the big tournaments out there.

The youth is taking over.

We believe this generation is the real game changer that will push the sport to the level where we will see a healthy amount of professional disc golfers that will actually start making a good living out of being a Disc Golf Pro. The change of pace has been really fast. The PDGA ratings for example have jumped to a whole new level just this year, as we've seen a record amount of 1100-rated rounds. Winning the biggest tournaments these days requires an average of 1050-1060 rated rounds, which is something we wouldn't have dreamed of not too long ago.

As the skill level of the top Pro's keep climbing and the overall talent pool of the players of this sport gets bigger and bigger, there's only one direction for the sport and it's up. It's the youth that is ensuring this sport's bright future and we at Discmania want to do the best we can do to support this young generation of awesome discgolfers.

An Interview with Seppo Paju

Seppo Paju - 6th at Pro Worlds 2012

We had the chance to do brief interview with Seppo Paju, who just played an amazing tournament in the scorching heat of North Carolina in 2012 Pro Worlds. Seppo left behind World Champions from the recent years like Nathan Doss, Dave Feldberg and Avery Jenkins by finishing at 6th place at the World Championships. Here are Seppo's thoughts from after the tournament:

Q: First of all congratulations for a great finish at the Worlds! Your sixth place was the best placement ever for a Finnish player in the Pro Worlds. What was your pre-tournament goal and are you happy with your placement?

Seppo: When I finally made the decision that I will go to play Worlds, I started to prepare to weather, wooded holes, time difference and all different kinda thing I know I have to do well for playing my best tournament ever. My goal was that I want to play shot after shot and stay focused all the time and I knew that will give me the best result what I can get. I'm happy with my placement because I played better and better round after round and that made me win all the world champions from previous years.

Q: You competed in the Open division, even though considering your young age, you still would have been eligible to compete in the Juniors-19 division. Was it an easy choice to go play with the big boys?

Seppo: I won Juniors World Championships 2010 so I didn't have thing I wanted from there anymore. Playing with ''big boys'' is way more instructive and I have played a lot of rounds with them, so I already know what it's like to play with best players. This time I did it well with them and actually won all other players I played with but Will Schusterick who was 2nd. I'm also playing with Pro status and can't play in amateur divisions anymore.

Q: The Worlds is a long tournament and the weather this year was really hot. How do you prepare yourself for a hot round and how do you consider can one keep their game consistent throughout a 7-8 round tournament?

Seppo: It's long tournament and there was very hot this year. I'm happy I knew that before I went there. I did prepare my self playing with lot of clothes in Finland's weather and playing like 5-8 hours per day. I tried to stay focused all these practice times and it made me to tolerate those long and hot days. I also took a lot of information from internet on how to get less affected by hot weather. I drank about 3 liters per round, stayed in shadow all the time, had a wet towel on my neck and used light and high quality Discmania T-shirts.

Staying consistent through 7 rounds is not easy. I'm not sure how the other players did it but for me it means a lot more than just throwing disc. I ate good food with not so much fat and calories, went to sleep early, drank water, didn't use my energy for other things etc. For many people those things doesn't mean anything, but I know that everything like that makes your performance better.

I also had good game plans and I knew what I do on every hole so I didn't have to use any extra focus to that during my rounds. I just made everything to stay focused and when I noticed that I'm not in focus right now, I ate something, drank water and went to make my next shot with taking my time and relaxing. In my opinion my preparing to this tournament was great and I'll use same methods in future.

Playing at the top level requires good physique and Seppo has it to spare.

Q: Which disc models did you use the most at the Worlds and why?

Seppo: My main disc was absolutely S-line MD2 Fiend. There was a lot of tight wooded holes where player wants to stay on fairway and make the shot through the first two trees. I know that MD2 holds any line I put it on and glides very well, so was also available to make pretty long shots with it too because of it's great glide. S-line was my choice because in my opinion it has better grip and good grip was the key word in those hot weathers.

Q: Seems that the skill levels of European players are rising year after year, when do you think we will see an European World Champion? Additionally, when will Team Europe take home the Presidents Cup?

Seppo: Level in Europe is growing up very fast and well! We have to get more players from Europe to play in the US. I believe we'll have European world champion in a couple of years. Team Europe is getting better and better fast and we will see a lot of tight matches between the two continents. If team Europe is not the President's Cup champ next year, it will be the year after that!

Q: What tournaments are still in your schedule for 2012?

Seppo: I will play couple small tournaments but I still have the big one at Rock Hill South Carolina. The USDGC ! I will practice so well that it will be the best tournament ever for me !

An interview with Leo Piironen

Leo Piironen - Finnish Champion 2012

Another Team Discmania young star Leo Piironen has played a great season so far and last weekend he took his first Finnish Championship title at the Nokia DiscGolfPark, bettter known by it's nickname "The Beast". Here are Leo's thoughts after the tournament:

Q: Congrats for a great win at the Finnish Championships! At which point did it become clear to you that the victory would come home or was it clear all along?

Leo: Thank you! After my 3rd round I realized that I had a chance to take the title and I decided to do the best I can do to get it.

Q: You sealed the deal with a ~15m putt to an elevated basket with OB just behind the target. What was going through your mind before that putt? Did you ever consider laying up and leaving the pressure to Arttu, who was also looking at a difficult putt with one stroke behind?

Leo: Well, at first we had to decide who was going first. During that I thought that if it would had been Arttu's turn I would have watched his solution. Arttu measured the distance between our discs and the basket and I had to putt first. I had seen how well Arttu had made his putts all week long so I decided to try mine. I didn't worry about the OB because I felt so confident at the moment. One reason for me to go for it was also that I didn't want to play sudden death play off.

Q: The skill level of players the Finnish Championships has arguably risen year by year. How can one keep up with the pace and how does a great player get even better?

Leo: That's a difficult question. I think by playing at tough competitions with other great players you realize what do you have to do better to keep up with the pace and how to reinvent your game.

Q: Which discs did you use the most at the Beast and why?

Leo: PD's and PD2's are discs that I used the most of the time. Those discs were used the most because I use PD for long anhyzers, S-curve shots, hyzer flip shots and death straight control shots in tight fairways. PD2 is my disc for sidearms, for long hyzers and for distance drives. That kind of shots were needed at the Beast.

Leo's key to success was good disc selection. Here's another PD shot heading down the fairway.

Q: In an interview during the tournament you said you really enjoyed playing in the lead group since everyone there were your friends and practice partners. Which players would you prefer playing with in the lead group for a National or International event?

Leo: I prefer people that I know and who I can cheer up and who cheer me up, but playing with strangers is fun too since it's a great way to make new friends.

Q: In the past couple of years we've seen an emergence of big fields in AM-level tournaments. Do you have any advice for an AM players considering going Pro?

Leo: Going Pro means a lot of new experiences. Playing with skilled players is a good chance to get to know something new and useful. My advice is that don't be afraid of going Pro because if you decide to stay AM you risk to miss out on a lot of great experiences.

Q: What tournaments are still in your schedule for 2012?

Leo: I think the USDGC is the only competition that is worth of mentioning. It will be my first time there and I'm really looking forward to it!

Here's a recap video from the Final day of Finnish Championships, featuring the title-winning putt mentioned above. Just in Finnish, sorry:

Congrats also to Team Discmania's Anne Matilainen for her 6th Finnish Championship title in FPO & Anders Swärd & Anki Frantz for second place finishes at the Swedish Championships! Not to mention Team Discmania's & Team Innova's Will Schusterick who was placed 3rd at Pro Worlds and has played a phenomenal season so far!

Nutritional Consultations in Novi, MI

Many factors are taken into consideration in a nutritional consultation at Diverse Health Services.

Naturopathic Care - Nutritional Consultations in Novi, MI - iStock_14722320_SMALL

Blood tests, hair analysis, individual genetics, medical history, and medical procedures all play a part in a patient’s health.  Dr. Tent D.C. and Dr. Senechal D.C. investigate each individual patient's medical background in order to treat them in the best way possible.  With a variety of whole food supplement options, patients are cared for with an individualized protocol.  Using whole food concentrates, we are able to treat patients without the adverse side effects of prescription medications.

Naturally Become a Healthier You!

Naturopathic counseling emphasizes the power of the self to promote a healthy lifestyle, prevent illnesses and treat existing conditions. It promotes an increased sense of well-being and vitality within each of our patients. When practiced consistently, it enhances the resilience of both mind and body alike. Patients feel empowered in caring for their health naturally versus heavy pharmaceutical chemicals clouding their minds. Our patients are better able to sustain a healthy lifestyle by being aware of everything they put into their bodies, especially when they consume a wellness-oriented diet and supplements. This leads to a consistent knowledge of the body, including its mindfulness of hunger. When in tune with their bodies, our patients are better able to understand what to include in their intake and what to avoid. We know that each patient is different, so we offer individualized counseling to fit into any lifestyle.

Who Can Benefit from Nutritional Counseling?

Naturopathic Care - Nutritional Consultations in Novi, MI - 1Diverse Health Services’ nutritional counseling works for everybody! We believe that every man, woman and child can profit from our services. There are only benefits from the body becoming more self-aware, and we believe that starting children’s awareness young increases these benefits. Our current clients’ lifestyles range from pregnant women to vegetarians to the elderly with medical complications. Those who may especially benefit from our services include individuals with diabetes, hypertension, eating disorders, menopause, fitness goals, heart disease and many more.

Naturopathic Medicine Versus Conventional Medicine: It’s All in the Timing

It is important to note that both naturopathic medicine and conventional medicine excel at different aspects of patient care. Conventional medicine is crucial in most emergency situations, while naturopathic medicine is the best preventative approach to disease. A wellness-oriented diet, positive lifestyle changes and supplements that support the body lead to a much lower risk of emergency situations. The healing power of nature lives within us all, and our naturopathic physicians are able to identify and remove obstacles by facilitating the inherent self-healing process in each patient.

Your First Visit to Our Office

After you make the first step to better your health and give us a call, we will schedule an initial consultation with you. You’ll need to bring your past medical records, medications, supplements, and any questions and/or goals you have for our visits. We will evaluate your current lifestyle and listen to any concerns or areas that you wish to improve.

From there, our experienced doctors will schedule follow up consultations as needed to get you on the fast track to health. We evaluate our patients’ blood, hair, genetics, medical history and past medical procedures to create an analysis of what would best work for each client.

To schedule a consultation, just simply call our office at (248) 477-0380 one of our doctors will assist your needs shortly after!

Asbestos Services

Asbestos management plans

A complex operation that needn’t be stressful.

Organisations with known or suspected asbestos in their premises are legally required to prepare an asbestos management plan. This can be a complex issue, and will often require the input of specialist assistance. Our qualified and experienced consultants can independently audit your existing system or develop one from scratch that will assist you control risks and meet the scrutiny of the regulators.

Asbestos remediation management

Auditing management and monitoring.

Asbestos removal is an expensive and potentially hazardous operation. Appointing DMW to audit and manage your asbestos removal operations will ensure that your projects are completed safely and on budget.

Our asbestos management service includes:

  • Initial specification
  • Site auditing
  • Air monitoring
  • Re-occupation testing
  • Update of your asbestos register following completion

Asbestos re-inspections

Monitoring the risks, assessing any damage.

Over time and with use of a building, asbestos materials can degrade or suffer damage, dramatically increasing the risk posed. For this reason, it is a
legal requirement for asbestos materials to be re-inspected and the condition monitored on a regular basis.

Asbestos removal project management

Due to the specialist nature and rigorous standards required by the HSE and Local Enforcement Authorities, clients risk civil and/or criminal action unless asbestos removal projects are managed in a competent manner. In addition, clients administrating their own asbestos removal contracts face high asbestos removal costs unless they are sufficiently experienced and competent to act in this capacity.

DMW have an experienced asbestos removal project management team, which will work with an asbestos removal contractor to meet your needs.

This service includes:

  • Tender arrangements, contractor selection via competency assessment and cost feasibility study to ascertain the optimum candidate for the contract.
  • Preparation of specifications and contract documents (tailored to protect the client from financial and enforcement action risks).
  • Site meeting arrangement, chairing and minutes submission to ensure communication between all parties and avoid problems from the outset
  • Management and auditing in order to ensure that asbestos is dealt with efficiently, safely and economically

Welcome to Bend Chiropractic Skip to content

Meet Dr. Kevin Denner

“I knew I wanted to be in the medical field, but it took a personal experience to help me decide.”

Embracing Chiropractic

In college Dr. Denner hurt his back and his parents took him to a chiropractor. “I felt better very quickly and that healing made a big impact on my career decision.” Though Dr. Denner always knew he wanted to be medical practitioner, it wasn’t until the healing effect of his personal experience he knew being a chiropractor was it.

“I take pride is sharing how this personal experience changed my perspective on life. Let me show you how chiropractic can change your life too.”

Simply Chiropractic

Dr. Denner graduated from Life University of Chiropractic in Georgia in 1991. “I began caring for patients at Bend Chiropractic immediately after completing my education.”

“I love the simplicity of chiropractic care.”

The noninvasive approach appealed Dr. Denner because he never liked medication. Dr. Denner explains, “chiropractic involves a personal touch and the one-on-one doctor patient relationship goes a long way in getting people on the right health track.”

Never Miss an Opportunity to Help Someone

Dr. Denner is proud of being a chiropractor as it always empowers him with the ability to extend a helping hand. “I’ll help you if you’re three days old or 103 years old and everywhere in between.”

Working on a personal level with his patients is what he loves most. It’s an honor for Dr. Denner to help you understand your health issue and explain the miracle of how the body can heal itself naturally.

My Approach to Your Care

“I mostly focus on results, since health improvement is all that matters!”

“My approach to your care depends on your needs.” Dr. Denner’s goal is to help you understand your health issues, explain how chiropractic care can help and see you improve.

“Your spine needs to last a whole life, if you keep it healthy, you’ll stay healthy.”

Discover how you can have a healthy spine. Give Dr. Denner a call at (586) 725-1111 for an appointment now!

The High Cost of High Heels

Disclaimer: Results are not guaranteed*** and may vary from person to person***.

—by Jeff Jurmain, MA

Calling all women who like to dress to impress: those high heels may be doing a serious number on your feet and legs.

A new study has shown that, over the long-term, wearing high heels can change the makeup of the muscles and tendons in the calf. And they can also create foot aches and deformities. It was published last week in the “Journal of Experimental Biology.”

What happens is that the often-steep slope of a heeled shoe makes calf muscles contract while balancing on it. This means that muscle fibers can shorten, tendons can thicken, and deformities can set in to the point where even wearing flat shoes can cause pain.

In reaching this discovery, researchers invited 80 women to take part, who had been wearing at least two-inch heels regularly for at least two years. Eleven of these women reported having discomfort walking in flat shoes.

Compared to those who didn’t regularly wear heals, these women had fibers in the calf muscle that were 13% shorter. The infamous Achilles tendon was thicker and more rigid as well, in those who wore heels. Quite simply, it was plain to see that the mechanics behind wearing high heels can change a woman’s foot and lower leg for the worse.

High heels can also stress the knees and back as well. And the often-narrow toes at the shoe’s front can thicken tissue between the third and fourth toes and force toes to bend at middle joints, often forcing them to remain bent even when not in shoes. On the back of the heels, straps can dig into the Achilles tendon and, if too tight, can trigger bunions on the big toes. Add on the fact that high heels can get caught in grates and sidewalk cracks and cause spills, and it’s clear that they are not the best-functioning footwear available.

Researchers are actually advising women who are suffering from foot pain to take anti-inflammatory medication as well as to avoid wearing high heels and switch to flatter, more comfortable items. Women who love their high heels are advised to take a seat as much as possible throughout the day to avoid straining their feet. And wider heels are more ideal, as they will distribute the body’s weight better.

2019/03/28 - Moto2™ WM 2019: #ArgentinaGP / Preview

Second attempt towards the top 15

Dominique Aegerter looks ahead to this weekend’s second race of the season in South America highly anticipating.

Dominique Aegerter und sein MV Agusta Forward Team arrived well in Argentina for the Rio Hondo race which is actually the longest trip in the calendar. The venue for the South American round in the northwest of Argentina isn’t necessarily the easiest to reach. After the 14-hours long-haul flight from Central Europe, a two-hour domestic flight is still waiting after an airport change. Termas de Rio Hondo is about 1.100 km from Buenos Aires. Despite the arduous journey, Aegerter can take some pleasure from this event in this rural area and well-known spa.

#77 Dominique AEGERTER (MV Agusta Idealavoro Forward, MV Agusta F2):

"In Rio Hondo, you’ll be compensated with a nice race track after that long trip. I really like the fast and flowing layout of the circuit. The weather forecast, however, is not necessarily reassuring for this weekend. Therefore, we’ll try to start well as early as Friday’s FP1 get underway. I know this track very well and I also go into the second race of the season in great shape because during the break since the last race in Qatar I’ve trained well. Beyond that, it’s nice to see that MV Agusta and the team have brought many new parts for this race. This is really motivating, and it also underlines, that MV Agusta is fully behind this project. These new parts, however, will entail additional efforts. But first, it is important to work out a good base setup during the first session before we can start to try and test the new parts during FP2. Hopefully some of those will bring improvements. Our goal is very clear that it has to go towards the top 15. The first points would be very important for us. But I think, that we can start into weekend a little bit better than it was during the first race in Qatar last time out."

Our help was required for a family with a son who had been permanently excluded from school, had a history of substance misuse and mental health issues.

It was decided that a Family Link Worker would mentor the young person. Regularly meeting with the young person and colleagues from Shadows, Young Persons Targeted Misuse Outreach Service, we found ways to motivate him. He began volunteering at a local sports team, and alongside our sessions and activities he gained the confidence to independently and successfully find a job.

Both the young person and his mother have emphasised how pivotal the support has been in achieving positive changes, with the mother noticing an improved relationship with her son. He is due to start at a new school in September with a much better chance of success, and support will continue until he has settled there.

Yahoo Stock Quote Ticker with C# and Flash

We all are like to develop our own ticker as we like because we need to customize. I have found great article that not only teach us that how to develop a ticker and how we can consume the C# web service in flash.

Jason Perry has used yahoo stock quote service to get stock prices. He created the web service that consume the yahoo service and a flash application that consume the .net web service.

This application follows n-tier application design by dividing the application into data, business, and presentation logic. This way a designer can focus on building usable interfaces and leave the structure of the back end to the developers.

here is the link for that article:

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA Comparison

Looking for help preparing your taxes on your own? There’s no shortage of tax prep software available for a variety of situations. As you try to decide which program to use, it can help to make a comparison. Here’s what you need to know about TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA

Both TurboTax and FreeTaxUSA offer you the chance to do your own taxes, for a price.

However, TurboTax does cover more situations than its competitor, and is known for its customers service and trustworthiness. Additionally, TurboTax is often hailed for its feature-rich and intuitive platform.

On the other hand, FreeTaxUSA also has a user-friendly interface and is thorough. Additionally, it has a much lower price point. As long as you don’t have an unduly complicated tax situation, and you don’t need access to the same level of customer service, there’s a good chance that FreeTaxUSA will be sufficient for your needs.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA Overview:

Software Edition Best For
TurboTax Free Simple returns $0 Federal, $0 State
TurboTax Deluxe Homeowners and filers wanting to maximize deductions and credits $59.99 Federal, $39.99 State
TurboTax Self-Employed Freelancers and small business owners $119.99 Federal, $39.99 State
TurboTax Live Basic, Deluxe, Premier and Self-Employed Filers wanting unlimited guidance and help from a CPA or EA $79.99 – $199.99 Federal, $29.99 – $39.99 State
FreeTaxUSA Free Confident filers needing minimal guidance $0 Federal, $14.99 State
FreeTaxUSA Deluxe Confident filers looking for DIY audit support $6.99, $14.99 State

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Filing Versions

FreeTaxUSA simplifies matters by offering only two versions of its software, Free and Deluxe. You get most tax filing situations with the Free version–even including K-1 forms. Upgrading to Deluxe gives you access to increased support options, including Audit Assist.

There are some situations that FreeTaxUSA can’t help you with, though. If you have foreign employment income or have a situation that includes other complications, like a foreign mailing address or if your children have more than $2,000 in investment income, this version can’t help you.

Try FreeTaxUSA

TurboTax - Is It the Best Tax SoftwareTurboTax, though, has several different versions, with the Free version supporting only a very limited set of circumstances. As you buy progressively more expensive versions of TurboTax, you get access to a wider variety of forms. You can also purchase upgraded services from TurboTax, some of which are more complete and accessible than what you get with FreeTaxUSA.

Both FreeTaxUSA and TurboTax offer state forms. However, if you qualify for the free version of TurboTax, you don’t have to pay to file your state tax return. FreeTaxUSA charges for each state tax return from the get-go. Once you move into paid versions of TurboTax, though, you’re charged for state returns. And FreeTaxUSA only charges $14.99 per state, while TurboTax charges $40 per state return.

Try TurboTax

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Ease of Use

Both TurboTax and FreeTaxUSA are easy to use. FreeTaxUSA has fewer bells and whistles, though. Plus, with FreeTaxUSA, you pretty much have to go in order of the tax form. No skipping around. It works best if you’re ready to sit down and finish your taxes in one sitting. The interface is clean and easy to read and simple to use, even if it doesn’t take you through step by step.

On the other hand, TurboTax is known for its feature-rich platform that does a lot of hand-holding. It’s possible to upload forms as you get them, and work on different areas of your tax return. TurboTax also has an easy-to-follow question format that almost feels like you’re sitting down with a tax preparer to get a feel for your situation. With TurboTax, you can start with one version and if you realize you have a more complicated tax situation, you can upgrade to another version. You aren’t charged until you’re ready to file your taxes.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Audit Help

TurboTax and FreeTaxUSA both offer DIY audit support, meaning you get help learning how to respond to the IRS. However, FreeTaxUSA only offers its Audit Assist product if you pay for the Deluxe version. TurboTax has a more robust version with its third-party service called MAX. Though, you have to pay an additional $49.99 to get full-service audit help with TurboTax.

If you’re not afraid of being audited, and if you think you can handle most correspondence with the IRS on your own, the lower-cost FreeTaxUSA Deluxe version can provide you with what you need to handle the situation. However, if you’re worried about an audit and want maximum protection and help, paying for the TurboTax add-on at the time you file can give you greater peace of mind.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Customer Service

In general, the customer service options available through FreeTaxUSA are fairly limited. You get free access to the customer support page, and if you pay for the Deluxe version, you can get chat support or use the searchable Q&A database. However, direct customer support isn’t very accessible, so if you’re looking for a great deal of help, you’re not likely to find it with FreeTaxUSA.

On the other hand, TurboTax offers extensive customer service options, including access to a searchable online database, email, and phone. For an additional fee, you can also get help with tax questions, by accessing a tax professional. TurboTax also offers help with TurboTax Live, an additional service that allows screen sharing with a professional who can walk you through your situation.

When it comes time to file, you’re on your own with FreeTaxUSA. You’ll pay your fee and submit, and that’s it. However, TurboTax gives you the option of paying to have a tax professional review your return and then sign it and file it for you. If you want an extra set of eyes to take a look, TurboTax is the better option.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Pricing

This is where FreeTaxUSA really shines. While you can get the free version, even for more complex tax situations, anything extra you do comes with additional costs. State filings, amending your tax return, and priority customer support all come with extra costs when you get the free version. However, if you pay $6.99 for the Deluxe version, you can get most of those services included, although you still have to pay to file a state return.

Related: Get the Cheapest Tax Software

If you get the Deluxe version of FreeTaxUSA and file a state return, you can get the whole thing done for $18.90. That’s a pretty good deal.

TurboTax is one of the priciest tax prep software products on the market. There are several versions, and the free version is only available to those with the simplest of tax situations. If you get the Deluxe version, which is the next step up from free, you’re looking at a minimum of $80 to file your federal return and one state tax return.

If you want to add TurboTax Live to your product, it’s going to cost even more, but you do get access to live help from tax professionals–something that’s not even an option when you use FreeTaxUSA. If you get TurboTax Live for Self-Employed and add a state return, you’ll pay $210. Add the audit defense product on for another $49.99, and you’re paying $259.99 to get the total package from TurboTax.

However, even with that pricing, TurboTax still costs less than hiring a CPA to do your taxes.

TurboTax vs FreeTaxUSA: Bottom Line

In the end, which product you choose depends on your tax needs and how much you’re willing to pay.

FreeTaxUSA is much cheaper, but in many ways, you get what you pay for. FreeTaxUSA is fine for confident filers who are reasonably sure they can handle most of their taxes on their own, with only a little guidance. There aren’t a lot of extras and features, so if you’re looking for something that’s almost like having a tax professional walking you through it, FreeTaxUSA probably won’t do the trick.

On the other hand, if you’re willing to pay more for access to help and features, TurboTax can be a great choice and covers a wider variety of complicated situations. Plus, you can pay to get access to dedicated audit help. The more complex your situation, the more likely you are to be audited, so this feature is excellent for your peace of mind.

Carefully consider how confident you are about filing, and what extra help might be worth to you. Then you can make a better decision about whether to use TurboTax or FreeTaxUSA.

Baby Dove what makes our products different
Baby Dove what makes our products different

What makes Baby Dove baby products different?

They may have your eyes or your partner's ears, but when it comes to skin, your baby isn't like either of you. “To keep baby skin healthy requires much more care than that of older children or adults,” says paediatric dermatologist and mum of two, Dr Zilda.

Since launching the iconic Dove beauty bar 60 years ago, we've spent decades improving our products to gently nourish, replenish and protect skin. But as mild as these cleansers and moisturisers may be, your little one’s skin is especially delicate. Baby skin may be beautifully soft and smooth, but it’s also more sensitive than yours, and much thinner. That’s why Baby Dove products are created differently.

As a parent, you want to avoid cleansers that may strip delicate baby skin of its natural nutrients, proteins and lipids, which can then cause dryness. We specially formulated the Baby Dove range to support the skin's protective outer layer and provide a vital natural barrier against dryness. All of our products work together, going beyond mildness to moisturise, nourish and help protect your baby's natural skin barrier.

The entire range is hypoallergenic and all our bath products are tear-free. As Evan Hillman, a Baby Dove scientist and dad of two explains, “our ingredients and formulations are simplistic: they’re not overcomplicated or filled with anything that isn’t needed.” This makes sure that from our baby lotion to our baby shampoo, every product is as gentle as possible on your little one’s delicate skin.

Our gentle cleansers – including Baby Dove Rich Moisture Tip to Toe Wash and Baby Dove Rich Moisture Baby Bar – do, however, deliver something that other baby skin products have been missing: skin-identical lipids. Containing DEFI technology, Dove's extra-mild cleansing complex, stearic acid (a skin-natural lipid), and our ¼ moisturising cream, they replenish essential lipids that can be lost during bathing and restore balance in your little one's delicate baby skin.

Move them bones…

0 Comment

Exercise is known to increase bone development in teenagers and seniors, but what effects do exercise and minor physical activity have on the bones of children?  A study published in Pediatrics is one of the first to examine the effects of low-impact everyday activities on bone density in children.

Researchers examined the relationship between physical activity and bone measurements in a sample of 368 four to six year-old children. Parents rated their children’s activity level by reporting the daily hours children spent watching television and by attaching a motion-recording belt to each child to keep track of time spent being physically active.

Bone density and bone mineral content were also measured for the entire skeleton, and specifically at the hip and spine.

High motion levels and physical activity ratings were associated with higher bone density and mineral content in both boys and girls.  Comparisons showed a 12 percent greater hip bone content in the most active children, compared to children in the least-active group.  Also, girls who watched more television tended to have lower bone densities than those who watched less.  Boys showed a greater level of total physical and vigorous activity than girls, which may account for their higher bone densities.

These findings suggest that exercise, or even mild physical activity, may increase bone density in children.

Don’t let your kids get into a slump (pardon the pun).  Do your best to control the number of hours your children spend in front of the tube, and encourage them to be physically active whenever possible.

Part 1: Women Making History: Lora Cain — First Female Announcer on Wheel Of Fortune

The very first television game show, Spelling Bee, was broadcast in 1938. 1941 marked the year for Truth or Consequences, the first game show to air on commercially-licensed television. Then came Let’s Make a Deal in 1963, Jeopardy in 1964, The Hollywood Squares in ’66 followed by The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game.

Whenever there is something great, there is always someone who dares to do it first. Before anyone thinks its a good idea or realizes the potential or the market… and then everyone else follows…

And just as in the early days of creating television shows, today is no different for a first. Lora Cain is the first female guest announcer on Wheel of Fortune, a nationally syndicated network game show. With the passing of the Charlie O’Donnell, 78, legendary announcer of Wheel of Fortune, the show decided to have several guest announcers before choosing the permanent one. Listen to the interview about her experience…

If you want to help someone create a first, you can vote for her at

Here’s to you Lora, for making history!

Here’s the press release about Lora and Wheel of Fortune:

House Passes Intelligence Bill

House Passes Intelligence Bill

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A bill to authorize funding for intelligence agencies and support critical national security programs especially targeting Russia, China and North Korea, passed the House on Thursday.

The bill, which passed 363-54, would increase the pay for intelligence employees with cyber skills and defend against foreign threats to federal U.S. elections. It would require intelligence agencies to brief key congressional leaders if the U.S. faces meddling or a cyber intrusion targeting a federal election.

"The bill takes steps to prevent a repeat of the Russian active measures campaign that targeted our 2016 election," said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee.

The 100-page bill calls for setting up a center within the Energy Department to coordinate intelligence on threats to U.S. infrastructure.

It would require intelligence agencies to provide Congress with reports on leaks of classified information; security clearance backlogs; and the use of virtual currencies in assessing financial threats to U.S. national security.

It also would require the national intelligence director to study North Korean finances and trade networks, weapon sales, labor exports and supply chains to help close gaps in economic sanctions as well as Iran's support of proxy forces in Syria and Lebanon.

The Senate has not yet passed its companion intelligence authorization bill.

Stocks Rise Again on Tech Firms, Amazon

NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. stocks climbed Wednesday, driven by gains for big technology companies and Amazon. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished at record highs for the fourth day in a row.

Stocks have rallied over the last four days as investors grew more hopeful about trade talks between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that Canada could join a trade pact between the U.S. and Mexico by Friday.

The Commerce Department said the U.S. economy was a bit stronger than it previously thought. It said gross domestic product grew 4.2 percent in the second quarter. Stronger business investment was a big reason, as companies spent more money on items like software.

"Corporate spending is up, which is something that is very important for the overall economy," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial.

Technology companies including Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet made strong gains.

The S&P 500 advanced 16.52 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,914.04. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 60.55 points, or 0.2 percent, to 26,124.57. The Nasdaq composite jumped 79.65 points, or 1 percent, to 8,109.69.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks added 6.33 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,734.75. It also closed at a record high.

Technology firms and other large companies started climbing Friday as reported suggested a breakthrough on trade was near. On Monday the White House said it had reached a preliminary deal with Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico is the U.S.' third-largest trading partner and Canada is second, behind China.

The S&P 500 has risen 3.5 percent in August after a 3.6 percent gain in July. That two-month gain is its best since late 2015.

Amazon jumped 3.4 percent to $1,998.10 after a Morgan Stanley analyst raised his price target on its stock to $2,500 from $1,850. At that price, Amazon would have a market value of $1.2 trillion.

"We have increasing confidence that Amazon's rapidly growing, increasingly large, high margin revenue streams (advertising, Amazon Web Services, subscriptions) will drive higher profitability," Brian Nowak wrote.

Apple became the first publicly traded company to reach the $1 trillion mark early this month. Investors currently value the iPhone maker at almost $1.08 trillion to Amazon's $975 billion.

Other retailers struggled. Dick's Sporting Goods dipped 2.2 percent to $35.60 after its sales fell short of expectations. The company said sales of Under Armour products dropped significantly because of that company's decision to expand distribution of its apparel to other stores.

Chico's FAS fell 4.1 percent to $8.47 after its quarterly report and watchmaker Movado sank 15.4 percent to $41.80. Elsewhere, Tiffany sank 4.3 percent to $125.48 and Kohl's lost 1.9 percent to $77.34.

Footwear seller Shoe Carnival surged 13.1 percent to $41.74 after it raised its annual forecasts following a second quarter. the company said back-to-school sales are off to a good start.

Energy companies rose along with oil prices. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 1.4 percent to $69.51 a barrel in New York while Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 1.6 percent to $77.14 a barrel in London.

Homebuilders fell after the National Association of Realtors said fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in July compared with the previous month. High home prices and rising mortgage rates are pushing home sales down even though economic growth is solid.

TopBuild declined 2.7 percent to $65.10 and TRI Pointe lost 2.4 percent to 14.42.

The companies also dipped Tuesday after the S&P-Case Shiller index showed that home prices rose 6.3 percent in July, a slower pace than the month before.

Yum China climbed 5.5 percent to $39.23 after the Wall Street Journal reported that a group of investors offered to buy it for $46 per share, or $17.6 billion. The Journal said the offer was made in recent months and that Yum China rejected it.

Roku slumped 4.9 percent to $59.92 following a report that Amazon may challenge it with an ad-supported video service. The Information said Amazon will offer the service through its Fire TV devices, which are owned by about 48 million people.

In other commodities trading, wholesale gasoline rose 1.3 percent to $2.11 a gallon. Heating oil added 1.4 percent to $2.24 a gallon. Natural gas gained 1.5 percent to $2.90 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Gold fell 0.2 percent to $1,211.50 an ounce. Silver lost 0.5 percent to $14.70 an ounce. Copper sank 1 percent to $2.71 a pound.

Bond prices were little changed. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note stayed at 2.88 percent.

The dollar rose to 111.69 yen from 111.21 yen. The euro dipped to $1.1699 from $1.1696.

Germany's DAX picked up 0.3 percent and the CAC 40 of France rose 0.3 percent. The British FTSE slid 0.7 percent.

Tokyo's Nikkei 225 rose 0.1 percent while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong added 0.2 percent and Seoul's Kospi advanced 0.3 percent.

Main Menu Map Pop-up

The Main Menu Map is the first thing that appears after starting and loading the IFs website. It is a world map that allows the user to easily access a range of information related to the countries tracked by IFs. The user is able to adjust the view of the Map by left-clicking any country on the map or using control buttons (arrow, zoom and reset buttons) on the top right of the map, which allows the user to zoom in or out, and reset to the original view.

The user can view the information on any of the countries for which IFs has data by simply left-clicking on the desired country, which causes a small pop-up menu to appear with options from which the user can select. This help section outlines the functions performed by the multiple options, with links to the topic pages for each of the options in case the user wants a more in-depth discussion of how to use the options.

Country Profile . This is an option unique to the Main Menu Map. After clicking this option, a new page opens which displays a map of the selected country followed by a list of various current and forecasted values, both organized into several categories: Population, Health, Education, Social/Human Needs, Economy, Energy, Environment, International Politics, and Domestic Government. See Issues and Modules for more information on these categories. Icons next to each variable name allow the user to either draw a line graph or display a table with historical data or forecasts or both.

Basic Report for Countries/Regions or Groupings. This option has much in common with the Country Profile, but provides values for more selected years in a tabular form with years across the columns. This option can also be reached from the Display option of the Main Menu.

Most of the remaining options below can be found under the Specialized Displays for Issues sub-option, which is located under the Display option of the Main Menu.

Population by Age and Sex. This option shows the distribution of the total population for a given country across age groups and divided between genders.

Birth Cohort Information. This option allows the user to view the total population of a country/region or group, broken down into periods of their birth (because those periods often shape common characteristics).

Education by Age, Sex and Level . The diagram displays the distribution of levels of completed education from none through tertiary across age groups and separated by gender.

World Value Survey by Age . The World Value Survey (WVS) displays three different dimensions of values in society: Materialism/Post-materialism (MATPOSTR), Survival/Self-Expression (SURVSE) or Traditionalism/Secular-Rationalism (TRADSRAT).

Mortality by Age, Sex and Cause . This option displays the distribution of number of deaths per 1000 people due to injury, non-communicable disease, and communicable disease between gender and age groups.

Morbidity by Age, Sex and Cause. The organization of information in this option is similar to that of Mortality by Age, Sex and Cause, but the key variable shown is years of life lost due to disabilities stemming from injury, communicable diseases, and non-communicable diseases.

Development Profile . The purpose of this option is to track how Human Capital, Social Capital, Physical Capital and Knowledge contribute to the annual growth of a country/region or a group.

Social Accounting Matrix . Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is an extension of an input-output table that shows the inter-sectoral flows of goods and services in a given economy of a country or region; it adds information on financial flows among firms, households, and governments.

World Bank Financial Flows . This option allows the user to view the annual flows from and to the Bank, the cumulative debt position of the country/region or group, and the flow of World Bank funds to various sectors.

Millennium Development Goals . This option allows the user to track the progress made and likely to  made towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Advanced Sustainability Analysis . This option displays the relationships between material inputs (such as fossil fuels and water) flowing into human systems and emissions (such as carbon dioxide) coming from human systems, on the one hand, and size of GDP, population, and labor force on the other.

If you really knew...

Taken by our friend  Eugeniusz
Awww look at us. All happy mid hike overlooking a lake in the middle of Switzerland. Oh the charmed life we lead.

Yeah. Charmed. That's one good word for it. Other good words are;

Our choice

Yeah, misunderstood that's another really good word for it.

On Sunday while putting away laundry a song came on my iPod (I really need to stop putting it on shuffle!) and I started to cry. I put my head on John's shoulder and said, "I wish people understood how hard this is some days!" As he patted me on the head, "write what you know beautiful."

So I've sat here since Sunday trying to write this in such a way that it doesn't come off as "oh woe is me" or "pity my choice to live the ex-pat life." Because that's not my intend. We full accept this was our choice and feeling homesick and disconnected comes with this whole thing. It's a package deal. You don't get to live across the ocean from your friends and family and not feel devastated some days that your friends and family live on the other side of an ocean.

Another part of the package is missing birthdays, funerals, weddings, births, baby milestones, family events and having to rely on facebook albums and disjointed re-tellings of events you weren't there for. There are little add-ons to that they fail to mention in the small print when you sign up for this lifestyle like people making you feel guilty for not coming home more often, the guilt you already feel for not being there for things  and, the days where you seriously question why you even did this in the first place.

We've both had those moments. We've both had moments where we've wondered if we're not only going to make it but if our marriage will make it. We've both wondered if this is all its cracked up to be and whether or not this was the right thing to do. We always come back to yes. Yes we'll survive and so will our marriage. Yes it's all that is cracked up to be, most days and we are totally doing the right thing.

But you know what? This. is. hard.

But worth it.

  1. Hi from Tuesday Tango!! Sorry you're home sick!! Following you on BlogLovin!! Feel free to follow back!! Hope you have a great week!!

Mission Accomplished: 100 happy days

On January 19th I asked, can I be happy 100 days in a row. Turns out I can be. YAY for completing an instagram photo challenge.

At the beginning it felt a little like a chore I'll be honest. Then life got really crazy busy for me and it felt even more like a chore. Just another thing on my "to do" list that needed a check mark next to it. Then life calmed down and I got into a rhythm and posting a picture with the hashtag 100 happy days became just part of my daily routine. I liked that. I only had one hiccup throughout the whole 100 days which is pretty impressive. And it was a minor hiccup when our internet went down at home and then when we got that back up and running our wifi didn't like my ipod. Again this was a fairly minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Hell, it was barely an issue at all.

I noticed there is a bit of a pattern with what makes me happy. I'm happy with
- food
- wine
- coffee
- roller derby
- where we live
- shoes
- small moments

You know the basic things that should make most people happy. And I think that the best thing I learned too. Happy isn't always the big things.  Happy is sometimes getting an iMessage from your goddaugter where she spells auntie wrong (anty.) It's not always your 30th birthday it's sometime a grilled cheese sandwich.

So here is what the last 100 days of happiness looked like.

What is Meta description
How to Write it to Increase Organic CTR

The Meta description tag is not that important to rankings on search engines but it is a very important to securing click throughs by users from SERPs. At DubSEO we are very well aware of the importance of meta descriptions and we use them as part of our strategy for our clients, to make sure that they function to advertise a sites content and to let visitors know that the page that they are looking at will give them all the information that they seek.

Do Meta descriptions have anything to do with keywords?

Yes they do, because they should contain the keywords, added intelligently and should also be something intriguing that will encourage a searcher to click on the phrase and see what is on offer. The Meta description must always be relevant to the page it describes and each Meta description should also be unique to each of the pages on the site. The optimal length for a Meta description is between 150 and 160 characters.

So a Meta tag is something like a strap-line on an advertisement?

That’s right! A good Meta description is like a catchy ad tag line, something that makes you want to know more about what is being talked about on the page. A good one will get you lots of click throughs and a bad one will see you largely ignored! At DubSEO we know that the Meta description done well will get click throughs from the SERP and is a very important part of marketing strategy. One of the things that we always work to is the fact that maximising click-throughs on the pages of search engine results means success with Google and other search engines where bold keywords in the meta description that match search queries are key.
