How to protect families from taxes and LTC costs: Tax Strategy Scan
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Our weekly roundup of tax-related investment strategies and news your clients may be thinking about.
Protect your family from taxes and long-term care costs
Clients should consider setting an asset protection trust to have Medicaid cover their nursing home care expenses in retirement and protect their assets from such costs, according to this article in Forbes. Those who intend to invest inside the trust can use a brokerage account, which means that investment growth can trigger a tax bill. The investments will also be exposed to market volatility, meaning clients could incur losses from a downturn.
First time paying taxes? Buckle up
Younger workers who are going to pay income taxes for the first time are advised to learn the basics about tax rules, as the tax code can be complicated, an expert writes for The Wall Street Journal. For example, these clients will face a federal income tax bill once their earnings exceed $12,200. Rates on taxable income range from 10% to 37%, with these rates phasing in as the income increases, she adds. "Lower earners often owe more for these social-insurance taxes than for income tax, because they can kick in on the first dollar of pay."
79% of future retirees share this major concern
The cost of health care tops the list of financial concerns for 79% of future retirees, according to a Nationwide survey in this Motley Fool article. To prepare financially for this expense, clients are advised to save aggressively in tax-advantaged retirement accounts such as traditional 401(k)s and IRAs. They may also fund a Roth 401(k) or a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free distributions in retirement. A health savings account is another great place to save for medical expenses, as contributions are made on pretax basis and the account offers tax-free growth on investments and tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses.
Moving like billionaire Carl Icahn to a low-tax state may backfire
Clients who consider moving from a high-tax state to a tax haven to save on taxes should ensure that they pass the domicile test, as state auditors are likely to be very strict, according to this article in CNBC. This could mean leaving everything behind, including their home, says an attorney. "The best way to do it is to give up all ties to New York and sell your home, so there is no possible question that you've moved."
Why clients should know the standard deduction in 2019
Clients are advised to make the most of the standard deduction, as this will reduce their taxable income as well as lower their tax bracket and tax rate, according to this article in TheStreet. Single taxpayers can see their standard deduction increase this year to $12,200, while joint filers who will opt the standard route can expect their deduction rise to $24,400. Standard deduction for heads of household will also increase to $18,350.

Occupy Wall Street: Michael Moore states, 'We oppose the way our economy is structured'
Current TV, Keith Olbermann, October 04, 2011
In a wide-ranging interview with Keith, filmmaker Michael Moore talks about his participation in the Occupy Wall Street protests, the goals of the movement and how it's evolving.

...I wondered aloud how Current TV would cover Occupy Wall Street, went to their website, and found this example. There's more but., they're clearly covering it.
Capitalism is like beer Mr.
Capitalism is like beer Mr. Moore.
It's the abuse of it by assholes that's the problem.

The US has not been truly capitalist for some time
since the playing field has become so skewed against ordinary people. Just try to compete with Walmart. A closer term would be Crony Capitalism:
So why bash good capitalism, when the current system is something else? And Michael, who are you speaking for?
since 1913 perhaps ... ?
ellen hodgson brown wrote an amazing book called the web of debt detailing how the u.s. currency system fell under the control of bankers
btw does anyone have a link to a non emotional non opinionated piece on the alex jones/ mike ruppert thing? just the facts pls

Port Douglas, 21st December, 2016 – The Reef Marina and Quicksilver Cruises have today signed a landmark lease agreement that will see Australia's most awarded reef operator further extend its almost 30-year partnership at its Port Douglas home port.
The Reef Marina general manager Rob Cruz welcomed the news Quicksilver's fleet of vessels including its iconic silver wavepiercing catamarans, along with Wavedancer and luxury vessels Silversonic and Poseidon, will continue to berth at The Reef Marina.
Quicksilver's retail tenancies will also remain in place. "Quicksilver has been a key partner of the Marina for three decades and we are pleased this will continue for many more years to come," Mr Cruz said. Quicksilver Group managing director Tony Baker said the company was pleased to renew its lease at The Reef Marina, which has been its home since the Marina was first opened in 1987.
"Our current Quicksilver fleet of five vessels and 10 coaches has grown over the years following the development of the Marina and we look forward to continuing to invest in our reef products and the Port Douglas region in the coming years," he said. Quicksilver cruises daily to Agincourt ribbon reef on the very outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef and the idyllic coral island of Low Isles.
All Quicksilver's tours are accredited with Advanced Ecotourism Certification and each day, its team of marine biologists are on hand to ensure guests gain an appreciation of the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.

Melinda's Alley
50 E Adams St
Phoenix, AZ 85004
Usually we'd warn against lurking in dark, shadowy alleys, but if it's Melinda's Alley, a Phoenix speakeasy in the basement of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown, we might just let it slide. Marked only by a red light, the no-frills lounge shirks gimmicks that other speakeasies embrace; the austere menu offers a mere 5 cocktails, detailing only the name and base spirit of each to encourage conversation with the bartender. With old surf rock blaring throughout the cash-only joint (the cement walls provide great acoustics), clink your intricate, too-heavy Victorian glass and make a toast to Melinda's.

Online Links:
RGB values of the hillshade were computed from the DEM data using ESRI software Arc 8.2 3-D analyst extension.
Sub-meter horizontal/vertical accuracy GPS points that were acquired during the summer field season 2000 and 2001 were used to assess the geospatial accuracy of IKONOS remotely sensed imagery. The GPS data collection points were chosen so that they would be visible and distinguishable on the imagery. In a GIS, the GPS points were overlain on the georeferenced IKONOS imagery. The horizontal geospatial accuracy of the remotely sensed imagery was determined to be less than 15 meters. This imagery was then used as the geospatially accurate reference to determine the precision of the DEM data. A 10-meter contour map was made of each DEM dataset. The contour map based on the SRTM DEM data was overlain on the sub-15-meter accurate IKONOS imagery. Visual inspections at a zoom scale of 1:3,000 determined that the horizontal accuracy was correct and no adjustments were made to the SRTM DEM data. The contour map based on the AirSAR DEM data, however, appeared to be inaccurate (creeks did not line up with V-contours, high points did not line up with high-point closed contours, etc.). At a zoom scale of 1:3,000, ten visually distinguishable points were chosen to determine an X-shift and Y-shift needed to align the AirSAR DEM-derived contour data to the imagery. Results (average and standard deviation reported): X = 41 +/- 9 meters, Y = 198 +/- 19 meters. A shift of X = -41 and Y = 198 was applied to the AirSAR DEM data set.
Although the vertical data cannot be directly derived from this TIFF data, this vertical positional accuracy report was written to qualify the resulting shade effect that has been derived from a conversion between vertical value and RGB hillshade value. After an assessment of the horizontal accuracy was complete, it was then possible to assess the vertical accuracy (see Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report). Thirty-five sub-meter horizontal/vertical accuracy GPS points that were acquired during the summer field season 2000 and 2001 were used to assess the vertical accuracy. A calculation of the known GPS vertical value minus the SRTM DEM vertical value for the same horizontal position showed that the SRTM vertical data was under-estimating the elevation by 19.3 +/- 4.3 meters (mean and standard deviation of the 35 points reported). Twenty-nine GPS points were used in the same way to assess the vertical accuracy of the AirSAR DEM data. The results of the GPS minus AirSAR vertical values for the same horizontal point (after the X-Y shift was applied) are -0.3 +/- 5.44 (mean and standard deviation reported for 29 points). In conclusion, the vertical values for the SRTM DEM dataset overestimate the true vertical value by about 19 meters, and the AirSAR DEM data vertical values are accurate to about 5 meters. Prior to creating the shaded relief image, these two datasets were combined by filling in any holes of the SRTM data with the AirSAR data. The bulk of the data used to derive the shaded relief image came from the SRTM data, and therefore the vertical accuracy for the values used to create the shaded relief image are taken to be about 19 meters. This agrees well with the NASA reported error for the dataset, which is 20 meters.
This shaded relief image displays topographic features for all of Okmok Volcano, and only a very small area to the east, across Umnak pass, on Unalaska Island. It was originally intended as a base layer for the display of geographic, geologic, and volcano-hazard features of Okmok Volcano, at a scale of 1:150,000.
Shaded relief image was checked for accurate display of topographic features with on-the-ground inspection (geologic fieldwork), helicopter overflights, and imagery sets such as Landsat7, airphotos, and IKONOS.

Serving Northern and Central Utah
The most important thing to know when facing criminal charges in Utah is that you have certain Constitutional rights. These rights include the right to due process of law, the right to an attorney and the right to know the charges against you. The only way to protect your rights — and your future — is by choosing a criminal defense lawyer who has the experience and commitment necessary to work with you and the courts and achieve the best possible outcome for your case. The Salt Lake City criminal defense lawyers at Intermountain Legal are a seasoned, hard-working defense team with unparalleled knowledge and relationships within the judicial community. We provide straightforward advice on your options — and aggressive defense of your rights.
Whether you live in Park City, Orem or Ogden, we are prepared to negotiate or litigate on your behalf, depending on which method better addresses your charges. We offer you skill, action and commitment at every step of the way.
Tips about criminal defense in Utah
If you are arrested for drug distribution, DUI or assault, you cannot adequately protect yourself without legal counsel. In Salt Lake City, Park City or elsewhere, our criminal defense attorneys help you understand the law and navigate the criminal justice system.
The Utah Criminal Code closely defines infractions, misdemeanors and felony crimes. Defense against your criminal charges requires a deep understanding of this Code and experience applying it in Utah courts.
Depending on the circumstances of the crime, you may also be charged federally (under the laws of the United States). The U.S. Government often prosecutes crimes like racketeering, types of fraud and embezzlement, kidnapping, types of cyber and white collar crimes and crimes against federal employees or on federal property.
Whether you're located in Provo, Salt Lake City, Summit County or throughout the state, the categories of charges you face will be the same. When you're charged as a criminal, lawyers from our firm help you understand the severity of the charges:
- Infractions — Traffic and moving violation charges are usually infractions that result only in a fine.
- Misdemeanor — Punishable by jail, a fine and other penalties. Class A misdemeanors like negligent homicide and possession of small quantities of drugs are more serious than Class C misdemeanors such as driving on a suspended license.
- Felonies — Also classified by degree, first degree felonies like aggravated murder can lead to the death sentence. Third degree felonies like aggravated assault can lead to up to a five-year prison term.
Arrest means you need defense counsel experienced with Utah law. If arrested, speak to our firm. From DUI to violent crime, we provide skilled, strategic legal representation.

Before you beginRole required: itil, report_user, report_admin, report_global for global reports, or report_group for group reportsNote: The report for which you want to use the variable must report on the Requested Items table [sc_req_item] or Catalog Task table [sc_task]. Using other types of variables causes an error when generating the report. The Oracle Database CLOB field does not have the functionality to retrieve the variables data in reports. For a column string field of less than 4000 bytes, you can change the column type to varchar2; or to compare the CLOB columns of a smaller size, use the to_char() function. For a larger size CLOB, you need to get a substring for comparison using dbms_lob.substr functions. About this taskFor primary Group by and Stack by these steps are intuitive.Figure 1. Variable use in Group by and Stack by fields. Note: List, Box, Trendbox, and Pivot reports cannot use service catalog variables as a primary or secondary Group by. Single Score, Calendar, Control, and Map reports do not support Group by on any fields.

Physical activity – School health goldfish
"Health need four conditions: physical activity, limited in the diet (poor appetite), hardening, and the ability to relax." so said M. M. Amosov in a recent interview. And further: "Nature is merciful enough for 20-30 minutes of physical exercise daily, to dwindle, to sweat and to pulse twice as frequent. If double, then all will be fine."
Our ancestors, in order to get food, had to overtake, to seek, to grab, to fight, and to himself not to become "food" – to escape, to hide, to climb a tree. One word – move, move, move!

The choice of location for the future of the sports hall will be crucial, with the increasing number of fitnes clubs les and les people willing to go on training to the outskirts of the city, while they are more likely to choose places close to their work or residence or on the road between these two points.
Accordingly, if you are not the owner of the sports network cents, should not spend money on large-scale advertising campaign acros the city, in this case it is better to concentrate locally distributing flyers, mailboxes in apartment buildings, stands in the nearby busines centers and banners along the roads near your sports centre will be the best advertisement.

Ron Horton: Genius Envy
The opener, "Carla Blake" opens the door for Horton's – right of passage – as a leader. On this piece Horton displays his intelligence and compositional savvy via this refreshing yet probing arrangement enhanced by the melodically tinged and quite soulful tenor work of solo artist and session musician, John McKenna. On "Long-Term Memories", bassist Ben Allison establishes the driving pulse as Horton slips into some smooth, sharp soloing within the mid to upper registers as sprightly choruses from McKenna and Horton emphasize the quirky yet appealing melody. "For Thomas Chapin" commences as a moving almost solemn ballad featuring Ms Bloom's gorgeous utilization of vibrato integrated with passionate, deeply moving articulations. All in all, a heartfelt tribute to the late and sorely missed jazz saxophonist-composer. Horton and Ms Bloom are the "impressionist" painters on the composition titled, "Stark Winter's Day" as they captures vivid images of a pastoral setting which could be somewhere in the Northeast on a cloudy, calm and cold day. Pianist Frank Kimbrough adds verve and elegance on Horton's composition titled, "Embrace" while Horton's "Genius Envy" is frantic, intentionally unsettling as McKenna, Bloom and Horton trade darting lines via alternating solos and rich thematic statements supplemented by furious unison runs with the force and fury of a big band. "Happy and Out of it (on the Beach)" lies somewhere between hard funk – Horace Silver style bop and affable or lighthearted Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass pop as the band occasionally veer off center which amplifies the fun and excitement.
Besides Horton's technical accomplishments as a soloist, Genius Envy serves as a good indicator of this man's multifaceted approach as a leader and composer. Not difficult to discern why Horton is highly respected within jazz circles. Genius Envy is mood evoking, poetic, cool, spirited and sure to capture the hearts of many jazz aficionados. Fortunately, jazz fans are now afforded the opportunity to hear the individual talents of the mighty conglomerate known as theJazz Composers Collective. Highly recommended...

Why Do People Play Games in Relationships? + 5 Types to Identify
All of us at one point or another in our lives play psychological games. Whether consciously or unconsciously, whether at home, at work, among strangers, or among friends, we have all engaged in games that are sometimes beneficial and useful, and other times detrimental to our health and the well-being of others.
Psychological games are often rewarding to one party and harmful to the other, creating exhausting and messy dynamics in every kind of relationship. Sometimes we are so deeply ingrained in the cat-and-mouse games that define our relationships that we aren't even aware of what is happening.
So why do people play games in relationships? And how can you identify whether you are instigating the games, or serving as the prey of them?
Exploring Psychological Theatrics
What do people get out of playing games in relationships? The answer is quite simple:
They get something out of it.
Whether the incentives to play games involve gaining security, gaining control or gaining self-esteem and self-justification, psychological theatrics are always ways of fulfilling an (often) unconscious goal.
It's also important to note that playing games in relationships involves two people, not just one person "victimizing the other." As they say: it takes two to tango, and games are the result of enabling behaviors just as much as manipulative behaviors.
So resist the urge to victimize yourself or demonize another.
5 Types of Games Played in Relationships
One of the best ways of establishing a healthy and honest relationship is to be mindful of the games people play in relationships. You and your partner – like everyone else – are not exempt from engaging in these forms of emotional gimmickry.
Below I will explore some of the most common psychological games and their dynamics.
1. Frigid Woman/Man
This game often occurs with a woman (sometimes man) who is pursued by her husband for sex, but is rejected on the grounds that "all men ever want is sex – they're so selfish and they're incapable of just loving me for me."
Eventually as the husband (sometimes wife) is rebuffed in this way more and more, he loses hope and stops making sexual advances. As time progresses and the husband remains quiet, the wife becomes more and more provocative in her behavior. For example, she might walk around in skimpy clothing, bend over in suggestible ways, or even (in extreme cases) flirt with other men.
The husband, seeing his wife's behavior, continues to resist seeing it as a kind of "trap." However, when the wife turns up her provocativeness and begins to engage in more physical contact (e.g. kisses), the husband regains a glimmer of hope and launches in with hopes of sexual intimacy. However, the wife immediately rebuffs him with her usual "See! Men are so selfish and obsessed with sex. All I wanted was intimacy!" excuse.
Reason for the behavior: Fear of sex, fear of vulnerability, desire for more sexual intensity.
Hidden incentives for the behavior: Avoidance of sex due to shame and fear, enhanced sexual stimulation and intensity, self-esteem justification of "I'm OK, you're not OK."
2. If it Weren't For You (IWFY)
This game starts with a passive person (male or female) selecting a more dominant partner. Naturally, the domineering partner restricts the activities of the passive partner, and so the passive partner resigns to the role of the victim with the catch-cry of"If it weren't for you I could do this, I could do that" etc.
Reason for the behavior: Unconsciously the passive partner chooses a controlling partner as a way of avoiding frightening situations that may jeopardize their self-image. It also gives the passive partner the "power card" to play in arguments, and contributes towards their belief that "They're OK, but others are not OK."
Hidden incentives for the behavior: Avoidance of fearful situations, safety, self-righteous victimhood, power.
3. See What You Made Me Do (SWYMD)
Within a relationship sometimes it is common for one partner to get extremely absorbed in a project of some kind. Whether this project is a simple household chore, hobby, or work-related task, it tends to absorb the partner's time, energy and effort constantly.
When the other partner intervenes however, the busy partner might exclaim something along the lines of "See what you made me do!" as a result of accidentally deleting their whole work document, dropping a can of paint, injuring their thumb with a hammer mishap, or any other instance. Of course, it is the partner's own anger and high-strung state that causes the accident.
The intervening partner soon learns, with enough of these instances, to not interfere or interrupt with their busy partner, leaving them alone, and allowing them to spend more time by themselves than with the rest of the family.
Reason for the behavior: Deep down the busy partner is actually fearful of intimacy and connection, and so avoids these compromising situations by burying him/herself in the solitude of work.
Hidden incentives for the behavior: Avoidance of emotional and sexual intimacy, confirmation of the belief that "I'm OK, but others aren't OK, aren't reliable, are nuisances" etc.
4. Now I've Got You, You Son of a B*tch (NIGYSOB)
In this game, the NIGYSOB player selects a partner who is a classic button-pusher; in other words, a person who knows what negative emotional triggers to set off in others at the right (or wrong) times. Both partners in this game experience hostility towards one another, however the NIGYSOB player externalizes their anger, while the button-pusher internalizes their anger.
The problems usually start when the NIGYSOB partner is in a bad mood about something. The button-pusher partner, known for their ability to provoke "hot buttons," triggers a tirade of anger in their NIGYSOB partner usually with a poorly timed question or comment.
For example, the NIGYSOB partner might come home after a long day at work in a foul mood. The button-pusher, sensing this, might ask something like, "What have I done wrong now?" which triggers the NIGYSOB partner to launch into a long angry monologue of how the other person is "so self-centered, only cares about themselves, is only really an unthoughtful and egocentric person" etc. In other words, "Now I've got you, you son of a b*tch!"
Reason for the behavior: The NIGYSOB partner selects a partner who will allow them to avoid their anger/jealous behavior by providing them with a seemingly legitimate way to vent their rage. They then feel justified for behaving the way they do.
Hidden incentives for the behavior: Avoidance of personal issues such as fury and resentment, self-justification of their inability to control their emotions through the use of an outlet, confirmation of the belief that "I'm OK, but other people aren't," avoidance of self-responsibility.
5. I Don't Need You (IDNY)
The I Don't Need You game is paradoxical in that it is played inside a relationship, but with the rules of the dating sphere. Usually only played by one "femme fatale" or "player" figure within the relationship, this game involves an underlying tug-of-war game. On one side, the femme fatale or player tugs for power, and on the other side the partner tugs for attention and recognition.
A common example of the IDNY game within relationships is when one partner behaves in ways that suggest "they don't truly need the other person." This could manifest itself in individualistic behavior like going to a festival or event alone (or with a group of friends), or openly "wanton" behavior such as flirting with other men and women, advertising their "other" admirers, and so forth.
In response to the IDNY partner's games, the other partner reacts by trying harder and harder to gain the attention and "win" the affection of their seemingly disinterested partner. When the IDNY partner is not satisfied with their partner's efforts, they might exclaim, for instance, "I could have gone to that screening rather than sit here with you!" or even something as extreme as "I should have never decided to marry you!"
Reason for the behavior: Underneath the IDNY partner's game is a deep fear of commitment, intimacy, and especially vulnerability. They might fear their own defectiveness, ugliness and impotence, and therefore compensate this fear with the pursuit of being "desirable" and "sought after" even within relationships. On the other hand, the IDNY partner might genuinely be a narcissistic person with the desire to wrap others around his/her fingers.
Hidden incentives for the behavior: Power, control, avoidance of vulnerability, establishment of false self-image, sexual stimulation.
Why do people play games in relationships? There are many reasons as we have seen above. The truth is that relationships aren't always entered solely to give and receive love. Often there are many other underlying goals and pursuits in play that are a result of unconscious fears and desires.
The good news is that once you become aware of the patterns that constitute these games you will be able to heal, transform and also create relationships that are healthy, stable and fulfilling.
Have you experienced any of these relationships? Do you have any of your own to add? Please share!

10 Reasons Pisces Are The Most Difficult People To Understand.
As a Pisces, I can tell you pretty confidently that we're a pretty tough group to read.
Don't get your panties in a bunch, though — I love myself and all my fellow Piscean friends, but you have to admit, you either have no idea what's going on in your Pisces-friend's head, or you are the Pisces who constantly feels misunderstood.
Well, I have good news!
You're not alone, and you can thank your sun sign for all that confusion.
Here are 10 reasons why no one understands a Pisces, and why that is totally okay:
1. Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac.
Being that Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, those born under this sign have a mix of characteristics from all the eleven preceding signs.
This means that Pisces are somewhat at a constant battle in choosing how to feel and that non-Pisces have an extra hard time figuring out how one feels.
Pisces are pretty indecisive, even with the silliest of decisions. However, they are also very open-minded. A Pisces is the friend who always says yes, even if it means he or she has to cancel later (guilty).
This battle of characteristics force Pisces to think before feeling. Yes, Pisces can be quite impulsive, but they think before they act first even if it doesn't seem so.
Being this way means they are always willing to try new things at least once.
2. Pisces are always seeking new experiences.
Pisces are constantly looking for new things, but don't let this offend you; they are most happy when they have someone along side them, experiencing these new things as well.
A Pisces would most successfully be in a relationship with someone who is just as stir crazy and up for anything.
If a Pisces feels trapped, he or she will most likely revert to his or her impulsive side and jump at the first opportunity for change.
3. They are compassionate and charitable.
Did anyone else cry while watching the new GE commercial? I did.
It can seem like a Pisces' compassion even for strangers is a little over the top, especially in this world. But, it really is a good thing and it's totally genuine. When you need someone to be compassionate with you, you've got it.
4. They have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy.
Pisces are, at heart, dreamers. Jupiter and Neptune, the latter of which represents illusions, rule them.
Pisces shift from goal to goal and sometimes, those goals may seem impossible. To a Pisces though, the goals are as close to reality as it gets. Silly fishes.
5. Empathy rules.
Pisces are extremely empathetic. Sometimes, they place another's emotions over their own, and this can be chaotic because they are then left to fester in their own ignored emotions.
This is also great because if you ever need a shoulder to cry on or genuine advice, a Pisces will selflessly give it.
6. They can only think straight when they're alone.
Locking yourself in your room for an hour usually means something is wrong, right? Not necessarily for Pisces. If they are socializing 24/7, they are probably on autopilot.
A Pisces needs to take time to him or herself to gather thoughts and feel productive.
7. They are inherently introverted.
This basically means that they are always trying to surround themselves with new people, but they don't know when those people switch from new people to actual friends.
A Pisces finds it difficult to be his or her full self around people to whom he or she doesn't feel close.
This can come off as fake or closed off, but in reality, it is most attributed to a Pisces' innate curiosity about other people's lives and stories. Excuse Pisces and their many questions.
8. They accept literally everyone.
This has gotten me, personally, in a bit of trouble. A Pisces assumes the best in all people. In fact, it was probably a Pisces who coined, "innocent until proven guilty."
A Pisces-hosted party is an interesting sight — people of all walks of life are welcome, as far as a Pisces is concerned.
9. They're a little oversensitive.
And by a little, I mean a lot. Words cut deep with Pisces, so this might be why your Piscean friend hasn't been as chatty lately.
Be careful with your words and be honest with how you feel because Pisces are also sensitive to others' emotions. If you're feeling stressed, a Pisces can feel it. Trust me.
10. They need role models.
… And they look for it in everyone. If you feel like a Pisces looks up to you, it's probably because one does.
Without a role model, a Pisces feels lost and usually can't decide what his or her next goal or step should be.

The love I gave to you. – Thousand Thoughts
"We accept the love we think we deserve." ― Stephen Chbosky
Love is keeping the promise anyway…
Eleven Hints for Life – Experienced by many of us.
"Eleven Hints for Life"
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.
5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.
6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.
7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.
8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.
11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Things You Never Thought Of , Can End Your Relationship !!!
Music, movies, friends and fairy tales teach us how to love but they don't teach us what not to do and where it can go wrong. Will you accept any suggestion without asking a single question about it? Don't you argue to a statement said by a friend or a teacher or anyone who you think is trying to advice you?
Then how can you accept such lessons without questioning , this can be dangerous to the health of your relationships. Here are five myths that can kill any love relationship.
You'll be wise to avoid them.
- Love is enough.
- There is nothing to learn.
- If you love me, you'll _______.
- My mate will change.
- I'll do my half.
- Love is enough.
This is a lie. Love alone is not enough to hold you together. There must be communication, a sense of togetherness and understanding each other is an important part of any relationship. Life brings with it challenges. There comes a point when you now have to find out how to share the same house, the same room, the same bed, and the same money you have.
This will be no longer a dating scene as it used to be, you now have new friends, relatives, and strangers to deal with. Those charming things you like about each other are now with you all the time. Closeness brings intimacy but it also brings a need to change and adapt. Change is difficult. You can tolerate so much of change that won't affect you.
In fact, studies show that living together before marriage is an indicator for a higher chance of divorce. Even though you can't avoid problems, you can prevent their damage. What you can do is to create a safe environment at home where you can talk with each other, get some time to communicate with each other. When you can talk without fear of criticism, anger, or any other lack of support, you can talk about anything. Problems can only be solved when you can talk as true partners, without any fear of one denying other.
- There is nothing to learn
Since love is not enough and you were probably not taught neither you were keen to learn how to communicate and solve problems, it's time to learn. Even couples who have come from the best of homes probably never saw their parents solve problems. What they often get to see is a conflict in place every third day and then none of them talking to one another till the weekend. Parents rarely are able to teach their children the skills for handling difficult times and the skills for keeping love alive.
As your relation celebrates more days adding into it making it closer to one more anniversary, romance takes a backseat. Romance often get reduced gradually with the time, there can be many reasons for the same. As you grow through life, you will change. Your partner will change. Your relationship will change. If you stay open to accepting change, you can grow from it rather than resisting it.
Learning who you are and who your partner is can be a wonderful experience. Just remember that it doesn't stop when you think you have learned everything from the past. You have the present and the future to look forward to.
- If you love me, you'll _______.
Fill in the blank with what comes to mind.
Some popular ones are: …you'll change, know what I need, do what I want, give in, and just trust me. This statement makes love conditional upon the other person doing what you ask as a proof of their love. Such expectation of conditional love is dangerous. There is a dark translation to this type of expectation. What you are saying, in effect is, "I don't trust your love so you better prove it to me now.", or "I don't care enough about you to consider your feelings, wants, and needs. What I want is more important."
This type of statement can be a warning sign. Demand and conditional love usually say more about the person making the statement than about the recipient. It speaks to an unreasonable expectation that may be motivated by a lack of care about the partner or by a personal lack of self-esteem. Expectations of "knowing what I need" demand that your partner have the ability to mind read. I noticed it many times that your girl will not ask for what she need, thinking as if you know her demands. You are in a relationship doesn't mean that you know everything about your partner. You are not a mind reader I believe!!! They must tell what they need and what they don't.
The only way your partner can know what you need, want, feel, or think is your telling them. Good communication is a powerful tool for understanding. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable to have expectations of your partner in the relationship. How you voice them is important.
- My mate will change.
Yes, they will and you have no control. The people who expect there mate to change in the way they want are the ones who gets disappointed. The only person you can ever change is yourself. This can be a relationship killing expectation, as no one changes for anybody and no one actually should change for any person except himself/herself. In many cases, they expect there partner to change for example If he is a foodie and you cannot expect him to be on diet as soon as he marries you !!!
Such demands are unreasonable, unwelcome, and unlikely to succeed.
People change because they want to not because you want them to. And all people change and grow as they age. But people rarely change for the better when they are under pressure from someone else…even a loved one.
The strongest relationships are founded on the commitment of two strong individuals who bring themselves to the relationship. It means compromise, growth and change but it does not mean giving in to the unreasonable demands of another. The article, Change and Grow has some further insights on this subject.
- I'll do my half.
It's about compromising several times; you compromise because you love your partner. There is no such thing as a truly successful long term marriage where each partner gives only their half (50%). The only truth is that our expectations for a fairy tale marriage lead us down the road to disappointment, disillusionment, and divorce.
"I've had it. You're selfish. If you really loved me, you'd understand what I need. I've been giving and giving and I get nothing in return. You don't give me what I want anymore. Maybe we should get divorced." This conversation or others like it is held are more common in relationships these days. Being in a relationship is not that easy and magical as they show us on television or movies. It takes lot of efforts; it's about keeping aside your ego. Sometimes you have to fight with your own-self. Relationships can provide you immense pleasure and strength but when it comes to hardships this can let you experience the worst.
The truth will help you create your role in a positive lifetime marriage. The Truth: Men and women are not equal. Thank God. We are different as individuals and, in that difference, lies part of the answer to a happy marriage. What we choose to do with those differences determines, perhaps more than love, what our relationship will look like. And it's not a fifty-fifty deal. A truly happy and lifetime marriage relationship is a seventy five: seventy five proposition (75:75) and all marriages will have problems at some time. It's inevitable. Differences and intimacy are a recipe for conflict.
By giving more than half, with the faith that you are both committed to the same marriage team and by communicating for understanding, with the goal of a winning marriage, you can overcome the inevitable problems of creating a happy married life. You can prosper and be happy when you each give seventy five percent to your marriage.
When you know that your partner is contributing more than their fair share, it's easier for you to do the same. Even though the fairy tales aren't always right, there can be a happy ending; a happy married life for those of you who commit to giving more to your marriage. When you communicate for understanding, and make your relationship a priority, you do have a chance of succeeding where so many other millions have failed. Yes, it takes work.

The comedy genre has proven to be a tough one for filmmakers to tackle over the past several years. Gone are the 1990s when several talented filmmakers, such as the Farrelly Brothers and a young Adam Sandler, gave birth to the R-rated gross out comedy in which sight gags became sort of a film to film competition with a cinematic version of "Can you top this?". Eventually, others caught on, and the market became stuffed nearly every weekend with a major comedy star's latest attempt at giving audiences the gut busting laughs they thought they craved. For every "Dumb & Dumber", "There's Something About Mary", or "American Pie", there were duds like "The Hangover 3", "That's My Boy", and "Dumb and Dumber To". With so many studios going the way of trying to replicate others success, you'd think someone would step up and point out why those successes occurred in the first place. That of course being, they were original. To that point, we hadn't ever seen anything like them.
If James Franco didn't get it before, it's clear he does now, given both his chops as a director and his lead performance in the hilarious "The Disaster Artist", a film that recounts the making of 2003's "The Room", which is widely considered to be the worst movie ever made. If you're unaware of the story behind this (most people are since we all would naturally ignore something being so universally panned), "The Room" was a passion project produced, directed, written by, and starring Tommy Wiseau, a mysterious person of unknown origins who came to Los Angeles in the late 90s to pursue acting with a massive fortune at his disposal. To put it lightly, Wiseau is an interesting individual, unlike anything we have every seen on screen. And bringing him to life in a Hollywood based true story is nothing short of genius on the part of Franco, who works from a screenplay written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber that is based on Greg Sestero's memoir "The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made".
Sestero is the other piece to the puzzle. An acting hopeful himself, he meets Wiseau at a San Francisco acting class in 1998. Wiseau and Sestero become friends, eventually leading to the two of them moving to Los Angeles on Wiseau's dime in order to pursue their dreams of someday acting in feature films and television shows. In "The Disaster Artist", James Franco portrays Wiseau, while Dave Franco plays Sestero in what is the first time the two brothers have acted opposite one another in a film. It's a great pairing and one with obvious chemistry, which is a key ingredient leading to an incredible array of comic gold from beginning to end. James' performance in particular is one of the funniest turns I can think of in a really long time, coming off as even more original than Mike Myers' "Austin Powers" or Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley. Sure, guys like Will Ferrell or Kevin Hart illicit a laugh or two in the films they often appear in, but they, along with nearly every regular comedic actor, are playing the same guy every time. See "The Disaster Artist" and then try to compare James Franco's performance to something else he has done. You won't think of anything, and that's because in addition to unearthing a guy whose only film has been relegated to cult like midnight screenings and bringing him out in the open for the world to see, the character also allows James Franco to literally reinvent himself.
The storyline of "The Disaster Artist" chronicles the making of "The Room" by a fledgling filmmaker who doesn't know how to make movies. Wiseau does; however, have deep pockets and is more than capable of financing the entire project, but when you see how frivolous he is with various unnecessary expenditures, you'll wonder how he made his fortune in the first place. When both he and Sestero's attempts at breaking into the Hollywood mainstream fail miserably, Wiseau decides to write a script based on his life and produce the film himself. Sestero is more than happy to participate, which encourages Wiseau to cast him as Mark, who is the story's antagonist in the would be love triangle tale concocted within this very interesting man's mind. But all doesn't go smoothly during production with Wiseau committing one gaff another. Prior to shooting, he buys, instead of renting, multiple production cameras and the accompanying equipment, famously choosing to film in both digital HD and standard definition for no apparent reason. The company he buys the equipment from provides a small crew and studio, but Wiseau is intent on directing the film himself and with his inexperience, clashes constantly with the actors and crew members who realize quickly this is not the usual film set. The middle act is comprised mostly of the arduous shoot, creating a number of moments you won't believe actually happened unless you watch "The Room" before see this film.
Because of the unique personality, mannerisms, and delivery possessed by the real Tommy Wiseau, the performance by James Franco could easily have gone the route of total parody, stripping away the fact this is indeed a real person and playing the character solely for laughs. But that's not how he ends up going about it. Instead, he realizes playing Wiseau with a sense of realism will still garner the laughs, but will also keep the character from becoming cartoonish or unintentionally larger than life. James doesn't indulge by going over the top because it's not necessary. The character sells himself as is and the depiction of the various onset calamities play out as they happened, not for laughs, but for the purpose of documenting the methods Wiseau employed to realize his vision on screen. That alone is hilarious. The guy is just funny and the story seems to crazy to be true, but it is!
Dave Franco's Greg Sestero is the perfect compliment to such an outlandish personality. And the supporting players who back up the duo provide plenty of straight faced back and forth banter which supports the saying that you simply can't make this stuff up. Seth Rogan's script supervisor Sandy is priceless at times with his under the breath comments in reference to Wiseau's antics, as is Ari Graynor's portrayal of Juliette Danielle who plays Lisa, the love interest of both Wiseau and Sestero's characters in the actual film. Smaller roles played by Josh Hutcherson and Zac Efron are also given several memorable moments. But this is James Franco's film, and his performance is far and away the best of the year. I've never seen anything like it. In telling Wiseau's unique story, he has created a new standard for original comedy films. One I'm sure will be imitated soon. GRADE: A

Turning Points
in Wisconsin History
The diary of the British commander in Wisconsin during Pontiac's war in 1763.
Lieut. James Gorrell's journal. Commencing at Detroit, September 8th, 1761, and ending at Montreal, August 13th, 1763
After the British defeated the French in 1760, they took possession of French forts throughout Canada. Lt. James Gorrell was sent out to Green Bay in 1761 with a small garrison of British soldiers to occupy Fort La Baye. This is his journal of that assignment, the earliest English account of Wisconsin. Two years later Pontiac successfully organized the western tribes to resist the British, captured Fort Mackinaw in a brilliant sneak attack, and laid siege to Detroit. Surrounded by Indian opponents, Gorrell was forced to evacuate all the way back to Montreal, and Green Bay saw no more British soldiers until the War of 1812.

Bad Commute Habits For Runners
3 Ways Your Commute Is Messing With Your Running Progress
Your long commute isn't just stressing you out — it can actually affect your running performance. Here are three parts of your commute that may be affecting your progress as a runner and how to make sure they don't!
- You sit during your commute: All that time spent in your car can lead to tight hips, body imbalances, or lower-back pain, which can interrupt your running routine. Make sure you incorporate stretches into your day to combat those hours you spend in your car; these essential stretches for tight hips will help you address imbalances and stretch those neglected hip flexors.
- You wear heels: Those stilettos may make you feel ready for anything (and make your legs seem longer and leaner), but if you are always wearing heels during your commute, you may be hurting your running career. Wearing heels shortens calf muscles, which can lead to more running injuries, so switch to flats while you sit in your car or run to the bus (or limit heel wearing to twice a week) to give your leg muscles a break. If your shoe closet has more heels than flats, make these four stretches high-heel wearers should do part of your weekly routine!
- Your commute is long: There's nothing like a traffic-filled, hours-long commute to kick any enthusiasm for a before- or after-office workout session out the door. Combat all that time wasted with quick workouts you can fit in at lunch or these 10-minute workouts you can blast through before you hit the road.

Marketing Cloud, Trailhead...
Leveraging Drip Email Marketing for Better Performance
As anyone who has ever tried to train a wild horse will tell you, forcefully trying to exert your will over a much larger, stronger animal isn't the way to go. Instead, the key is to build a relationship. By introducing new ideas gradually, trainers can establish familiarity with the animal, and allow it to progress at a pace that it finds comfortable. Over time, the two learn to work together.
The same concept holds true when it comes to nurturing leads. Often, leads are not fully qualified when they're referred to the sales department, and so the sales department ends up losing a potential client. Often, those leads need a bit more time to develop, but it's still important to keep the leads' attention, so that they don't forget about what you have to offer. Email makes it possible for you to nurture your leads gradually.
The Value of Email Marketing
Although social media is climbing in popularity as a marketing tool, email is still king. McKinsey reports that even with social media's surging population, email is almost 40 times more effective as a marketing tool than Facebook and Twitter combined. One study showed that over the course of a year, 44% of consumers made at least one purchase based on a promotional email they had received.
What is Drip Marketing?
They say that "good things come to those who wait," and the truth of those words is clear in the case of drip marketing. A drip marketing campaign aims to influence its target market over time, delivering a series of messages that follow a predetermined course. The way these messages are sent out, or "dripped," is usually tailored to match the behavior or status of its target recipients.
Timing is key when it comes to making the sale, and sometimes marketers are eager to send a lead on to the sales time. While 61% of B2B marketers send all of their leads directly to sales, only 27% of those leads are actually qualified. By creating an effective drip marketing system, built with the proper tools, you can slowly nurture those leads and convert them to sales rather than scaring them off early on in the process.
According to Gleanster Research, 50% of sales leads are qualified but aren't yet ready to buy. At the same time, 30%–50% of sales go to the vendor who responds first. Basically, to make the sale, it's important to find leads quickly, and then allow them to progress gradually. With a drip marketing campaign, you'll be working the long game, knowing that your patience will pay off eventually.
How Can Drip Marketing Help Small Businesses?
For small businesses in particular, a drip email marketing strategy is not only effective, it's efficient. Small businesses often don't have the manpower needed to personally guide their leads. With a drip marketing software solution in place, the majority of that work is handled automatically. The software automates the process and removes the need for workers to keep track of where each lead stands in the sales cycle. This frees up company resources and allows employees to focus less on sales pitches and more on actually closing the deal.
How to Choose the Best Drip Marketing Tool
As your company is deciding on which drip marketing software to adopt, there are several factors to keep in mind:
Features offered
- Automation
The most obvious feature required in a good drip email marketing solution is automation. You should be able to customize the timing of the messages to match your research and achieve the best results for your demographic. This allows you to expand your collection of leads rapidly without adding a significant amount of work for your employees.
- Metrics
Your drip email software should provide you with key metrics that allow you to track the effectiveness of your campaign. These include such measurables as click-through rates, open rates, and others that will help you to further improve your campaign or better plan the next one.
- Customizability
You should also have the ability to customize your email templates so that you can tailor the emails to be more effective with your target audience. Colors, themes, and layouts can all have an impact on the way a customer receives your messaging.
Ease of Integration
Usability of the software
How difficult is the new software to learn? Is it intuitive to new users, or does it have a steep learning curve? Does it have the functionality your company needs? These are important questions to ask as you are determining whether a particular tool is a good fit for your company.
As with any solution, cost will have an impact on your decision. However, as you choose between the different options available, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Cost as an independent number is important, but even more important is value. How much benefit will this new system offer your organization? Research your options thoroughly and make a decision weighing the cost against the potential benefits. If there are significant gains to be had, it may be worth the investment.
Many businesses are actively pursuing email marketing strategies, but they're often not reaping the full benefit the medium offers. By utilizing drip marketing tools and implementing drip marketing best practices, these businesses have the opportunity to nurture leads and convert a significantly larger portion of them into sales and regular clients. Remember: you can't force your leads to progress, but you can encourage them. With drip marketing, your prospective clients can enjoy the freedom to move at their own pace, and you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they're being supported every step of the way.

Introducing Russell O'Halloran, our new wood floor expert. Russell will be bringing us tips about upkeep, repair and replacing or installing high quality wood flooring. He is one of Ireland's leading experts in the craft having trained at the world centre of wood floor excellence – the NWFA in the US – and worked on some of Ireland's most prestigious addresses including the Áras an Uachtaráin and the Sky Bar at the Guinness brewery. Find out more about Russell at WoodFlooringDublin.com.
How do I know when my Wood Floors need to be sanded?
The good news is that not all wood floors need to be sanded. If the varnish is still intact i.e. the wood itself has not been exposed, then it may be possible to re-coat the floor. Re-coating the floor is less than half the price of sanding it back to bare wood and does not affect the "life" of the floor. Let's consider both options:
There are three steps to this process. Firstly, the floor is cleaned with a de-greasing agent to remove all oils/fats/grease/etc. Then the floor is very lightly abraded with a buffing machine and very fine sandpaper. This step of the process does not actually remove any varnish but imprints micro scratches so the new varnish can get a grip and stick to the floor. The third stage is to apply two coats of varnish.
To avoid reaction it is critical that the new varnish has the same chemical basis as the existing. It will be either oil, water, solvent or hard-wax oil based.
The advantages of re-coating is that the process is quick (usually a day) and does not affect the life of the floor. The disadvantage is that it does not remove the dirty in deep scratches in the floor or sun-bleaching.
Sanding and Sealing
When a floor is sanded and sealed, all the varnish is removed and three coats of new varnish are applied. This is a much longer process and may involve dust unless your professional contractor has dust-free machinery. There are usually three different stages of sanding and always three coats of varnish.
The advantage is that all scratches are removed (the floor comes up as new) and any sun-bleaching will be gone. The disadvantage is that it takes longer, costs more money and reduces the life of the floor.
Note: A solid wood floor can only be sanded 3-4 times, so each time it is sanded, the life expectancy is reduced.
How do I know which process is right for my floor?
If your floor has wear areas that have turned grey then it's too late for re-coating as the varnish has already worn away. It's a bit like suntan lotion – it needs to go on before you get burned as afterwards is just too late.
It's a bit like suntan lotion – it needs to go on before you get burned as afterwards is just too late.
Ideally as you notice the floor beginning to fade in the doorways, high traffic areas and under tables/chairs/etc. then call a professional contractor immediately to assess the floor.
Generally, if you only have light surface scratches and no real deep damage, stains and dents etc. then you could be the perfect candidate for a recoat.
It's important to ask the professional coming out to look at your floors exactly what to expect and what will be possible. Make sure the business is 100% confident the new finish will adhere as this is the single biggest failure when re-coating floors. Ask all about their procedure – will they be using a chemical scrub, how will they deal with wax, what will and won't come out etc.
The Final Word…
If you have wood floors that are down a few years you should consider a re-coat to help extend the life of your floors. Ideally re-coating occurs every two to three years.
On the other hand… if you have dents, deep scratches, pot-plant water damage, UV discoloration from rugs and furniture and greyed, worn out areas in your floors, then you are into sanding and sealing.

They Suffer by Mitchell Krockmalnik Grabois
That's all they do
Even when they go to work
and complete their daily tasks successfully
even admirably
even when they socialize with friends
even when they put on a brave face
they suffer
All they would need to do
is to take a little pill
once daily
There are a lot of them out there
If one doesn't work
they can try another
If they have side effects from one
there's always a different one to take
No one needs to suffer anymore
Suffering is needless
All you have to do is to take a pill
once daily
The one that's blue works for many people
There are millions of prescriptions for that blue pill
filled every year
I'm not talking about Viagra
which is also blue—
that's an entirely different problem
though sometimes those two problems are related
depression and impotence
what they now call "Erectile Dysfunction"
or the code E.D.
No one needs to be depressed anymore
No one needs to be impotent
Take two pills
and life is improved immeasurably
You no longer need to have an okay day
followed by a down day
followed by another down day
You don't feel this way because you're a poet
or someone who's really sensitive
You have a mental illness
like millions of other people
Be honest with yourself
and get help
They won't even make you do talk therapy
They won't worm your secrets out of you
You won't have to reveal anything
your crimes, your shame
That was all in the old days
If you have a compulsion to share
you can share
but nowadays you don't have to

WWE Monday Night Raw - April 23, 2018 - Scottrade Center in Saint Louis, MO
WWE SmackDown - April 24, 2018 – KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY
RAW vs. SMACKDOWN
Oddly enough, this week I think SmackDown Lives crowd was louder and more into the show. Even though Raw has the inherently larger names and generally a little more to cheer for. Maybe it has something to do with Daniel Bryan the wrestler instead of Daniel Bryan the GM?
WINNER: SmackDown
Coach, Cole, and Graves. They're still my favorite crew together. They have come together really well, and if it has to be a three man team I like theses three the most.
WINNER: Raw
Really SmackDown never had a chance. With Elias vs. Roode, Ziggler and McIntyre jelling well, Chad Gable getting a huge win, Lashley & Strowman beating up KO & Sami, and then Finn and Seth beating on the former Miztourage was great stuff to me. I liked the main event with all the women, but I think it could have been stronger.
WINNER: Raw
I LOVED the first promo on SmackDown this week with Miz and Big Cass. Miz and Daniel Bryan are about to have a SummerSlam feud, even though I wish it was a year long build to 'Mania next year for the WWE Championship, but hey I'll take what I can get. And considering how long ago that Miz promo was on DB, it has been a long build. The whole Carmella promo wasn't really bad either. I'm not her biggest fan, but she is getting better without question.
I love Paul Heyman, but they have him say the same thing week after week and he is running out of ways to say it. The Sami & Kevin Show was fun, and watching Dallas & Curt Axel try to find a new leader was good stuff too. Overall, I think SmackDown was better here.
WINNER: SmackDown
The Daniel Bryan and Miz match that I expect to see at SummerSlam should be fantastic. The feud is starting back up again with Miz and Big Cass dogging on Bryan last week. I also think we see heel Shinsuke as a champ with face AJ chasing him for most of the year too. I love The Bludgeon Brothers as champs, and having Jeff Hardy on the blue brand is a great call too. Carmella is going to come into her own as champ, and I think she'll have a successful run before Asuka takes her out.
Drew McIntyre is going to be a force on Monday Night Raw. The roster on Mondays is just loaded, and I am excited to see the new feuds take place. Between Drew, Elias, Bobby Lashley, Finn, Seth Rollins, and Braun Strowman I am not sure who is my favorite guy right now. Chad Gable is so good in the ring and I hope he gets a great push. Raws women side has a lot of great talent too, and they should do some awesome stuff. As for what I am looking forward too most, it has to be SmackDown with Bryan and Miz alongside Shinsuke and AJ.
WINNER: SmackDown
You guys know how I feel here. SmackDown always hits the nail on the head here.
WINNER: SmackDown
This was the week of tag teams in WWE and we saw some really cool ones on Raw. Obviously the Woken Crew with Bray and Matt, but then we had Braun & Lashley (wow), and Finn & Seth all team up. I like seeing odd tag teams like this every now and then especially with the best guys.
WINNER: Raw
POINT ADJUSTMENTS: Raw (+0 / -0) / SmackDown (+0 / -0)
THIS WEEK'S WINNER = SmackDown
SmackDown wins 4-3 with a good show overall this week. I think Raw, with its stellar roster, should eventuall take over for a few weeks but SmackDown holds it own so far!
That's my pick for the better show of the week, but how do YOU stand?
Which was better, Raw or SmackDown?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
