Sneak Peek! NYX Ombre Blush
Available in 8 shades the new NYX Ombre Blush ($10) are delighting me at the moment. These were recently introduced with the NYX Spring 2016 Collection and feature a gradient design inspired by the current ombre trend. P.S. Wet n Wild Ombre Blush are also on the horizon for Spring!
I was a little worried about these as my last NYX HD Blush from last year wasn't a particularly pleasant experience. But I got my Ombre Blushes in the mail yesterday and I was delighted how good they looked. Mind you I haven't swatched them yet but so far things are looking good. The blushes are super vibrant and the ombre design is stunning to say the least.
Take a look for yourself!
Gorgeous aren't they?

Blues singer-songwriter and guitarist laid down thirty songs for the then fledgling Columbia label between 1927 and 1930 and in the process created blues musical history. It is this legacy that is the cause of celebration on this tribute by a wide-ranging cast of musicians, all of whom have felt compelled to pay homage. Such is Johnson's stature among musicians that his songs have previously been covered by no less than Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Led Zepplin.
Lucinda Williams shines on the roster of singers contributing and this is not so much a revelation as a re-affirmation of what she does best and a return to her earliest folk-blues recordings. Williams excels on the title track with an echo-induced voice and instrumentation that enters gradually. The time is surely ripe for an entire album of recordings in this vein from the singer and she follows this up with a rousing take on 'It's nobody's fault but mine' with wailing vocals that conjure up a dervish-like trance. The unbridled enthusiasm is most certainly infectious and there is fine accompaniment from slide guitar and a thumping drum beat. In a decidedly rootsier vein, this writer immediately took to the old-time sound of Luther Dickinson who leads on vocals and slide guitar with the Rising Star fife and drum band on the catchiest of melodies, interpreting, 'Bye and bye. I'm gonna see the King'. A fine duet of distinction is to be found on 'Keep your lamp trimmed and burning' from Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, arguably contemporary blues' finest current pairing. Tedeschi's smoky sounding vocals and wonderful guitar accompaniment keeps this reading of the song constantly on edge and is all the more enjoyable for it.
Arguably, the most anticipated of the interpretations are the two offerings by Tom Waits and while he warbles somewhat incoherently through the opener, 'Soul of a man', the second song, 'John the Revelator', finds him in more comfortable territory and his idiosyncratic delivery works rather well. For some authentic gospel hues, the Blind Boys of Alabama take some beating and the heart warming lyrics and smooth harmonies combine to stunning effect on, 'Mother's children have a hard time'. Not everything is as successful. The throaty vocals of the Cowboy Junkies seem a little out-of-place whereas the contemporary beats and breathy vocals of Sinead O'Connor place the classic repertoire in a twenty-first century setting.
Exemplary sleeve notes and packaging that convey something of the flavour of the original masterpieces.

The Future of Frozen Pizza
A Slice Of Good News: Frozen Pizza Consumption Is On The Rise Thanks To More Health-Conscious Ingredients
Just a few years ago, a struggling college student only needed three things to cook a meal: a working oven, a dented old cookie sheet, and a frozen pizza.
Voila! Dinner was served.
Back then, no one was choosing frozen pizza for its crisp, buttery crust and exquisite toppings bursting with lively flavor. No – it was all about convenience and affordability.
But frozen pizza has come a long way in recent years, and it's no longer limited to budget-challenged kids. It's a go-to convenience food for young professionals, busy families, and anyone else who wants to enjoy a fresh, ooey-gooey pie without venturing to a chain restaurant or the local mom-and-pop joint.
Of course, delivery is always an option. The problem with delivery is that it comes with a different set of issues. A pizza that scores a 10 in the restaurant might be a 4 after it sits in a steamy box for 20 minutes during the drive to your house. That's why more and more pizza lovers are choosing a frozen pie for meals at home.
With a growing list of topping choices and the proliferation of gourmet-style pies, consumers have more options than ever before. However, these new options just happened to coincide with an increasing demand for cleaner labels on mass-produced food.
A 2015 report from Packaged Facts, a division of MarketResearch.com, said the frozen pizza industry suffered from a processed food stereotype in the face of health and "real food" trends. Food manufacturers have responded by offering "cleaner label" options in the frozen-pizza case. They are trying to improve their pizzas by cutting out preservatives and artificial flavors, lowering the sodium content, and making crusts with whole grains.
Now more than ever, it's possible for shoppers to find frozen pizzas with an ingredient list that looks similar to what they might make from scratch.
The manufacturers' efforts are paying off. Analysts from Technavio say at-home frozen pizza consumption was up in 2016, and they forecast the global frozen pizza market to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 3.41 percent through 2021.
Flavor First
If frozen food manufacturers want to get a good sense of consumer sentiment, they should look at what's happening in chain restaurants, as they are on the front lines getting real-time feedback from diners.
Pizza Hut is the largest pizza chain in the United States1, both in terms of gross sales and the number of units. With so much at stake, Pizza Hut moved with caution before announcing in 2016 that they were eliminating certain preservatives and antibiotics from meats and cheese. This came roughly a year after Pizza Hut became the first national pizza restaurant to remove artificial flavors and colors from its core pizzas in 2015.
As they implemented these changes, one of their most significant concerns was ensuring the product's taste profile remained consistent. Jeff Fox, Chief Brand and Concept Officer, told Fortune, "When balancing any change we make to any of our products, we make sure the food still tastes [as] good as it did before and we continue to provide the safest food out there."
Frozen pizza manufacturers are equally concerned about maintaining flavor integrity. For them, the process starts by consulting with vendors to find ingredients that have the right combination of healthy attributes, flavor, and affordability.
Losing meat and incorporating veggies is an easy way to add more fiber, reduce saturated fats, and have less sodium than a typical "supreme" pizza. Those small changes make pizza a healthier meal by default. However, manufacturers still have the challenge of building pizzas with dough, sauce, and cheeses that don't come with excessive ingredient baggage.
One solution is to use dairy products and seasoning blends that take advantage of innovative formulations to dial in the exact flavor profile consumers desire. A partner with dairy expertise can create customized solutions that give you a buttery, flaky crust and full-bodied flavor throughout the sauce and toppings.
Frozen pizza with a cleaner label is now in demand and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. If you produce frozen pizzas, you should have a heart-to-heart talk with your ingredient vendors about options for amplifying flavor while still minimizing the number of ingredients on your label. Your retailers and their consumers will thank you.
DairiConcepts, L.P., is a leading international provider of innovative dairy-based ingredient solutions that include cheese and dairy powders, seasoning blends, concentrated pastes, flavor enhancers, and hard Italian cheeses. The company serves major food manufacturers, food service providers, restaurant chains, and industrial ingredient and private label food manufacturers throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia. As an industry leader in certified organic, kosher, and halal dairy ingredient production, DairiConcepts owns and operates eight manufacturing plants, two development laboratories, and a pilot testing plant located throughout the U.S. All plants are SQF Level 3-certified. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dairy Farmers of America, Inc., a national dairy marketing cooperative owned by more than 14,000 members and one of the most diversified manufacturers of dairy products, food components, and ingredients in the U.S.

Deep Fried Kool Aid Balls
The first thing you're going to think of is that, is it even possible? If so, you're thinking to light or too deep. Deep fried kool aid balls aren't that hard compared to deep frying water.
Of course, it seems understandable to think that way as it is kind of crazy thinking of how one might be able to cook or deep fry something liquid?
Additionally, deep fried kool aid balls actually are fun and flavorful to eat. It's not like your usual bland flavored deep fried water. It is sweet and really taste like kool aid and other ingredients you want to add such as vanilla extract and sweeteners.
Some people might call it kool aid donuts as it is made of dough, looking like munchkins with kool aid flavors. It is a great choice of recipe to make when you're having a party with friends or on your kid's birthday party.
The idea went viral first hand on the internet where people tries to do some challenges on how to make some meaningless recipes such as deep-fried water and more. Other culinary hobbyist wants to try out their imagination and expand their knowledge about different culinary arts and crafts and succumbs to the challenge of the trend.
Furthermore, ABC News was probably the first one to introduce a video of how to create or cook one and the process and the outcome isn't really that crazy or bizarre. To be honest, it was amazingly beautiful, fun and very delicious.
It is something sweet and juicy that you would want to eat when you want a relaxing and cool day to spend.
Here's one way you can make deep fried kool aid balls:
How to Make Deep Fried Kool Aid Balls
There are many ways you can try to cook or make kool aid balls. Some would throw them in the oven as they prefer baking instead of deep frying but we'll focus more on deep fried kool aid balls due to our main topic as well as it is actually the real first trend.
Other trends come after the original challenge which is deep frying.
The basic ingredients include:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Kool aid
- Milk
- Egg
- Butter
- Vanilla Extract
- Kool aid
You can choose other extracts of flavor additives you would want as it is fairly optional but it really matters less as the kool aid itself comes in different flavors.
To be more precise, the flavor of the kool aid balls is actually dependent on the chosen flavor of your kool aid.
- The first thing you need to do is to take out an even size mixing bowl to make your kool aid dough.
- Pour in 1 and a half cups of flour into the mixing bowl along with half a cup of sugar, a teaspoon of baking soda, a few dash of salt and a few ounces of kool aid depending to taste.
- Next thing is to get another mixing bowl to mix those egg and other wet ingredients.
- Break one large egg into the mixing bowl and whisk evenly.
- Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with half of the cup milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whisk thoroughly to mix them altogether fine and evenly.
- Add the mixture of wet ingredients to the bowl of your dry ingredients (powdered).
- Mix all of them together.
- You'd notice a change in color as a few ounces of kool aid can actually make the whole ingredients change color which means that the flavor of the kool aid isn't actually overwhelmed by other ingredients.
- Scope the mixed ingredients and create ball-shaped dough using a scoop or just your hands.
- Put each ball made aside on a clean plate.
- Once all the dough has been made to a ball, prep your deep fryer.
- Heat your deep fryer to about 365 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once preheated or heated, drop the kool aid balls you made into the fryer.
- Deep fry for about a few minutes until the outer layer or crust starts to turn dark red or depending on the color or the flavor of kool aid you used.
- After it cooks, put them on a strainer or a drying paper to allow the excess oil to get absorbed by the paper or get strained.
- Put them all in a nice and clean plate.
- Sprinkle some sugar on top of each kool aid balls to add some flavor and sweetness.
- Serve and enjoy!
Note: A few ounces of kool aid can actually create a strong and impactful flavor. Adding a few more ounces to the original recipe might come off a little strong for your taste buds so try to test your taste of how much you want to use.
You can also refer to the video below for a quick tips of deep frying kool aid.
Now that you know the secret on how to deep fry kool aid balls, it now seems very easy to make isn't it?
You'd also learn that this recipe can also be applied with other types of powdered juices or even powdered chocolate or milk.
In addition, it takes the insane idea of your mind of actually deep frying a liquefied juice as it seems very crazy like with what they did on the deep fried water.
There's no need to add gelatinous ingredients to allow you to deep fry kool aid balls as it comes in the powdered form originally and not liquefied like with water.

The mother of modern bridges
The bridge over the Little Belt strait was one of the engineering miracles of the interwar years when it opened in 1935. It was designed by the Danish State Railways' (DSB) chief bridge engineer, Anker Engelund. Cast in concrete with a self-supporting steel…
Bridge-builder's nightmare
The supporting structures for the Little Belt Bridge posed challenges for the engineer. In 1932, four piers had to be cast in situ in the strait. Four large floating caissons were cast, sailed out and tipped over the side of a boat to settle on the bottom. They had first to be buried, but they sank further and faster than calculated in the unstable clay on the bottom. One of the caissons went askew into the water and drifted off from the deposition site. Afterwards the caissons were fixed in place with long steel tubes hammered into the bottom. The piers could then be cast and the steel superstructure and struts mounted on top. The bridge is still in use as a road-rail bridge.

Lizzie Rahm loves the control that Halogen Performance gives the HR team.
Saves significant time with web-based appraisal system
Clark Nuber is a leading employer in Washington state. The firm was looking for a way to modernize its talent management system, and the HR team moved their appraisal process to the cloud with the goal of addressing retention challenges and empowering its employees. Since rolling out the new web-based system from Halogen Software, this CPA and consulting firm as been able to:
- Empower high performers in the organization by providing them with a new level of visibility into their performance;
- Provide partners and senior managers with reporting that closely links performance and other areas of the business;
- Dramatically reduce time involved for HR, managers and employees - saving the firm between 130 and 170 hours annually.
Customer profile
Clark Nuber is an award-winning CPA and consulting firm that has been serving the Northwest from Bellevue, Washington, for over five decades. The firm delivers expertise to business owners and leaders in private and not-for-profit organizations, as well as high net worth individuals with a wide variety of services.
In 2007, Clark Nuber was recognized as one of the 50 Best Small and Medium Companies to Work for in America, and was named the number one medium sized company to work for in the state by Washington CEO magazine.
Clark Nuber is focused on ensuring that they are an employer of choice for accounting professionals in Washington state. To support this mandate, the HR team is very focused on ensuring they have the right systems in place so they can deliver high quality HR programs to employees. While the company had modernized a number of its HR systems including its learning management and training systems, the firm was relying on an Excel-based system for its appraisal processes.
"We realized that the existing system had a number of shortcomings," said Tracy White, SPHR, Director of Human Resources, Clark Nuber. "The HR team was stuck re-keying data and was literally chained to their computers at review time. The Excel system was cumbersome, which is definitely not desirable in our line of work."
Based on the success the Clark Nuber team had with moving other HR systems online, they identified cloud-based HR software for managing employe performance, goals and development as the best way to modernize the appraisal process. "From day one we had a comprehensive list of features that any new solution had to have including 360 evaluations, self-appraisals, and customizable multiple evaluation options. We then put together an RFP and sent it to a list of about a dozen vendors and from there did demos with a short list of four vendors," explained White.
In assessing available solutions from each vendor, White and her team wanted a solution that would not only address their list of features, but fit with the fact that as a professional services firm, there was a strong focus on managing employee achievement on a day-to-day basis and maximizing billable time.
Clark Nuber's HR team selected the Halogen TalentSpace™ based on the solution's flexibility, ease of use and understanding of the unique needs of the professional services market.
"What really stood out about the Halogen solution was the overall flexibility ," outlined White. "Unlike a lot of organizations, we conduct a number of different types of reviews throughout the year, and this solution provided the flexibility for us to create a new process for each type, from job engagements on a weekly basis to 90-day reviews for new employees. Halogen 360 Multirater™ enables us to incorporate feedback from multiple sources and provide regular and timely feedback to our employees."
Clark Nuber opted for a hosted deployment of the new web-based employee performance appraisal system so there would be no strain on IT resources who were busy supporting the mission-critical systems used by the firm's employees. The overall implementation process was quick for Clark Nuber, with Halogen providing training to the HR team and employee training via a series of webinars. "We were up and running in a couple of weeks. The process was smooth - it was wonderful," said White.
By eliminating the Excel-based appraisal system and moving to a web-based employee performance management system, Clark Nuber has been able to increase the value and visibility of talent management at the organization, while creating time savings for all involved in the process.
With the new system, employees now have access to their performance and project reviews and are able to track their progress. "We have a number of high performers and this is a real plus for them as they like to keep things up-to-date and ensure they are on track in terms of achieving their goals. This supports our overall focus on retention, as our employees have visibility into the process and feel empowered," explained White.
To further employee's visibility into the talent management process, Clark Nuber added multirater functionality, which enables the firm to incorporate feedback from multiple sources into appraisals. "Employees have a complete and accurate picture of their performance as we are able to easily gather feedback and seamlessly incorporate it into review documents. Our environment is such that someone may have multiple managers in the course of a year so this makes a big difference. With feedback from all involved, employees have the full picture of where they stand performance-wise and what they are expected to be executing on for the next review cycle," said White.
The partners at Clark Nuber have been very receptive to the new system. The Halogen solution enables each partner to quickly and easily generate management reports so they are up-to-date. Furthermore, with the new level of visibility into the system, partners have a clearer picture of the value of talent management programs within the organization.
"The partners are accountants and they like to see the charts and reports," said White. "They now have visibility into where employees are and see the link between employee performance and other areas of the business."
Time savings
As with most professional services firms, Clark Nuber's employees and managers are busy. From day one, the new system has significantly streamlined the process of completing and managing reviews. "By eliminating the administrative burden of the process, we are freeing up time for billable work while improving the quality of our reviews," explained White.
For the HR team, there has been a dramatic reduction in the amount of time spent on administrative tasks. White estimates it has saved the firm between 130 and 170 hours annually. "This system has made my life so much easier," said White. "We've been able to free up time for everyone on the team so we can focus on key HR initiatives and not pushing paper. The partners and our CEO see HR differently and understand that we have the tools to take talent management to the next level."
As one of Washington state's top employers, Clark Nuber is very focused on maintaining its competitive edge by attracting and retaining top notch talent. Moving to a web-based employee performance and talent management system has enabled them to standardize appraisals, create consistency in the program and provide timely and relevant feedback to its most valuable asset, its employees.

Hello GCF fans, thanks for reading. I am really excited about this week because for the first time, someone will be crowned a champion! I want to thank you for all the emails. If you want to email me it is [email protected] . Alright lets start Impact Raw!
Impact Raws opening video ends and electricity is in the air as we are live in the Wachovia Center in Scranton, PA! We get a quick shot of all the fans that came out to see Impact Raw live! The camera pans over to the commentary table with Impact Raw commentators Tazz and Michael Cole. "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Impact Raw! I am here with my partner Tazz and we are blowing the roof of the Wachovia Center tonight!" "Yeah Cole, the first champion in GCF history will be crowned tonight as Matt Morgan takes on Jeff Jarrett's hand picked opponent for the Television Title!" "Also Tazz, the final first round match of the X Division tournament will take place as it is Kaval vs. Primo, also Eric Bischoff has an announcement about the Tag Team Tournament." "Look Cole, Matt Morgan has just entered the ring with a mic! Let's see what my favorite superstar has to say."
"When I was in TNA, I was overshadowed, overlooked by everyone. I never got any championship opportunities; I never got any of the respect I deserved. Now I am in GCF, and I am undefeated. I have destroyed every single man in my path. I took down a man over 7 feet tall, without breaking a sweat. Now Jeff Jarrett thinks he intimidates me by having me face a mystery opponent? I have finally got a chance at a title and you think I am going to let anyone get in my way? Jeff, come down here right now, and tell me who I am facing tonight." Jeff Jarrett's music hits as he walks out and stands on the ramp. "Matt, I have seen what you have done these past couple of weeks, and I am not going to say that I'm not impressed, because I am. The problem is, here in GCF, we want quality matches that leave the fans in awe. So I went out and looked for an opponent for you that I thought could match up to you. Here he is Matt, the man you will be facing later tonight for the Television Title. Well……… It's the Big Show!!
The Big Show comes out to a great reaction from the fans. Show walks down the ramp as Morgan flips out in the ring. Show gets to the ring and walks over the top rope. Show runs over to Morgan and clotheslines him over the ropes! Morgan lands hard on the outside and Big Show celebrates in the ring. "Tazz, what a match set for later tonight! Matt Morgan vs. The Big Show!" "Cole, I can't argue with you there, TNA's giant vs. WWE's giant, it's got to be a great match for the television title." "It's gonna be great Tazz, but right now, two new superstars are debuting here in GCF!" "Yeah Cole, my man Shark By from TNA and the Long Island Loudmouth Zack Ryder going head to head right now!"
Zack Ryder vs. Shark Boy
Ryder makes his way to the ring to loud boos as most people don't like the Long Island Iced Z. The cocky superstar gets into the ring and taunts, showing off to the crowd. Shark Boy comes out to an okay reaction from the crowd, and gets in the ring ready to take on Ryder. The bell rings and Ryder runs at Shark Boy and boots him in the face. Shark Boy goes down and Ryder backs away. Shark Boy gets to his knees. Ryder runs against the ropes and viciously lariats Shark Boy back down. Ryder walks behind Shark Boy and grabs both of his arms, and curb stomps him face first to the mat! Ryder stomps on Shark Boy some more before grabbing Shark Boys mask and lifting him to his feet. Ryder runs against the ropes and jumps over Ryder for the Ruff Ryder! Ryder gets the pin One, Two, Three.
Winner- Zack Ryder
"What an impressive win for Zack Ryder, Tazz. He dominated that whole match, with a much more aggressive side than we have ever seen from him" "Did you see that curb stomp, Cole? I have never seen that from Ryder, but I love it!" Ryder kicks Shark Boy out of the ring and shouts, "Woo, Woo, Woo, You know it!" before leaving the ring. We now go to the back where Todd Grisham is with Impact Raw Co-GM Eric Bischoff.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time, Eric Bischoff. Mr. Bischoff, I understand you have an announcement regarding the Tag Title Tournament?" "Yes, after the attack by Beer Money a few weeks ago, Ink Inc will not be able to compete tonight, So I have disqualified them from the tournament. But because I am such a fair GM I have also disqualified Beer Money for attacking Ink Inc in the first place! So whoever wins the final first round match tonight, will get a bye to the finals of the tag team tournament. Also, if you are watching Mr. McMahon, I just wanted to show that I am a fair GM and I don't need Jeff Jarrett. So the match at Domination isn't necessary. That is all for now." Eric walks away and we go back to the ring. Break the Walls Down!
Tag Team Title Tournament First Round
Chris Jericho and Christian vs. The Hart Dynasty
Jericho and Christian enter the arena to a full house of boos from the fans. Neither men seem to mind as they both hop into the ring. The Hart Dynasty comes out to plenty of cheers from the crowd. Jericho decides he will go in first against the speedy Tyson Kidd. The bell ring and both men lock up and Jericho pushes Kidd to his corner and tags in Christian. Jericho holds Kidd in the corner while Christian gets in the ring and kicks Kidd in the gut.

"Whatever Tazz, they still used underhanded tactics to get into this tournament by attacking The Hardcore Originals." "Hey, you know I love Sabu and Dreamer, but I also love Jericho and Christian. So it's a toss up for me." Jericho and Christian celebrate up the ramp before leaving the arena." The camera goes to the general manager's office where Jeff Jarrett and Eric Bischoff are arguing. "Jeff this is why I have was the first choice to be general manager; I know what I am doing." "Eric, we need to decide right now what were going to do with Kurt Angle. He has some valid points, he deserves a shot, but he still hasn't really earned it." "He's the best in the world, he doesn't need to earn it, Jeff." "Alright Eric, Listen. We have a lot of main event guys here that want their chance, including Kurt. So at Domination, lets have a Fatal Four Way match. The winner will be the new number one contender and will face the world champion." "You know Jeff, that's not a bad idea. Who do you have in mind?" Jeff smiles and tells the cameraman to leave. We go back to the arena. "Wow Cole, who do you think Jeff has in mind?" "I have no idea Tazz, but I am sure we are in for a treat come Domination." "I cant wait Cole, but right now we have the final first round match in the X Division Tournament as Kaval faces Primo right now."

"Those are gonna be great matches next week Tazz. How about the match that is up next though? Two contenders for the Intercontinental Championship will face off right now as ROH star Tyler Black will take on The Worlds Strongest Man, Mark Henry.
Tyler Black vs. Mark Henry
Mark Henry makes his entrance to a whole lot of boos from the crowd. Henry does not care at all as he walks up the stairs into the ring. Henry flexes to the crowd, and the boos get louder. Tyler Black makes his entrance and the boos become cheers for the popular Indy Superstar. Black slides into the ring and he doesn't look intimidated by Henry. The bell rings and both men meet in the middle of the ring. Black gets right in Henry's face, only to be shoved by Henry. Black comes right back and throws some quick punches right back that pushes Henry back a little before Henry throws a big punch to Black that puts Black on one knee. Henry takes advantage and kicks Black in the gut. Henry quickly lifts Black up and puts him in a bear hug. Henry squeezes as tight as he can, and Black is gasping for air. Black punches Henry in the head, but Henry doesn't release the hold. Black is holding his back in pain, but continues to punch Henry in the head. Henry is forced to let go. Black backs into the corner, and Henry runs and body splashes Black in the corner.

Henry smiles and drags Black close to the corner turnbuckle. Henry uses the ropes to aid him and gets to the second rope. Henry jumps down and splashes Black from the second rope! Henry is on top for a pin, One, Two, Black somehow kicks out! Henry is amazed that Black could still kick out. Henry slowly lifts Black up and puts him in position for the Worlds Strongest Slam. Henry holds Black there for a second, but he waited to long and black wiggles out of it and gets in front of Henry. Black quickly hits a big boot on the big man that sends Henry into the ropes. Black runs at Henry and chops his leg, causing Henry to go to his knees. Black takes advantage and DDT's Henry while Henry was on his knees. Henry is finally down and Black slowly makes his way to the corner. Black hops up on the turnbuckle and stands on the very top.

Henry quickly grabs the ropes and gets to his feet, then grabs Black and again puts him in position for the Worlds Strongest Slam, but this time he does it! Henry slams Black down hard with a Worlds Strongest Slam, and goes for the pin, One, Two; Blacks foot is on the rope! Henry yells at the referee why he didn't count three then notices Blacks foot.

A Superkick out of nowhere! Henry falls to the mat, and Black pulls him away from the ropes. Black runs against the ropes, and then performs a running shooting star press on Henry! Black covers, One, Two, Three!!
Winner-Tyler Black!!
Black jumps off Henry and out of the ring! Black celebrates on the outside while Henry flips out on the inside of the ring. Black runs up the ramp with his hand raised and the fans cheer louder than they have all night! Henry exits the ring and kicks the steel stairs and yells at the fans. "Cole, that match was awesome! Tyler Black comes out of no where and gets the upset win over The Worlds Strongest Man! I thought Henry had the match won, but Black took advantage of an opportunity and got the win!" "This will definitely put Black up there in both managers' books when it comes to who will get a shot at the IC title." Before anything else can be said, Samoa Joes music hits and Joe walks down the ramp, eye balling Henry before getting in the ring and grabbing a mic.
"Kurt Angle! I told you that if you did ANYTHING to make me lose that match last week, that I would find you, and end your career! But you know what Kurt? I am going to wait, because unlike you, I have a world championship match at Domination to look forward too. After I beat Edge at Domination, I know I will have many challenges ahead of me. I also know that eventually, I will face you again with the title on the line, and that is when, I will end your career. I will end it when you have everything on the line, when you have one last chance to taste glory, and I get to kill your hopes." It's a shame for they, lost their head. Sheamus walks down the ramp and Joe sits in the ring wondering what he is doing out here. Sheamus walks in the ring without a mic in hand and just looks at Joe. "I don't know who you think you are or if you know who you are dealing with here Sheamus, but if I were you I would leave now." Sheamus smiles, and from behind its Kurt Angle attacking Joe! Angle kicks Joe down, but Joe fights back. Joe is able to get Angle off of him, but when Joe stands, Sheamus runs and kicks him with a Brogue Kick! Joe is out and Angle regains himself. Angle walks behind Joe and locks in a Ankle Lock. Angle screams "I'm gonna end YOUR career Joe!" Sheamus kicks Joes head while Angle tries to break Joe's ankle with Angles signature Ankle Lock. You think you know me! Edge runs down the ramp to make the save and slides into the ring. Sheamus attempts a Brogue Kick, but Edge ducks under it, rebounds off the ropes, and Spears Sheamus! Angle releases the hold and tries to attack Edge from behind, but Edge ducks underneath and boots Angle in the face. Angle is down as the fans chant "Spear!" and Edge gets into a corner. Edge stalks Angle and when Angle stands, Edge runs and perfectly executes a spear on Angle! Edge is on fire as he walks over to Joe, who has made it to his feet. Edge walks over to Joe and they both have a stare down. Edge nods at Joe and leaves the ring and exits the arena with his back to Joe. The fans chant "Edge and Joe!" as Joe stands in the ring, trying to understand what just happened.
In the back we see Big Show heading to the ring, as we get ready for our main event here on GCF. Back to the ring, Tazz and Cole are talking about the Joe situation. "I still don't get it Tazz. Why did Edge of all people come out and make the save?" "I don't really know either Cole. Right now though, the first ever champion will be crowned right now!"
Television Championship
Matt Morgan vs. Big Show
Big Show comes out to a loud reaction from the crowd. The Giant high fives fans before walking over the top rope. Big Show gets into his corner, and Matt Morgan makes his entrance. The fans boo at the undefeated Morgan, but as always, he doesn't care. Morgan gets into the ring and keeps his distance from the smiling Big Show. The Bell rings and Big Show goes right at Morgan, but Morgan avoids him and throws Show into the corner. Morgan kicks him in the gut, until Big Show shoves Morgan away. Morgan stands back astonished that Show could push him. Show takes advantage and big boots Morgan down! Show kicks Morgan some more, before going for a cover, one, kick out at one. Show stands and lift Morgan up. Big Show body slams Morgan and is dominating the match. Show shouts to the crowd, getting pumped up. Show Irish whips the now standing Morgan and sidewalk slams Morgan hard to the mat. Big Show covers, One, Two, No! Show stands and pumps his fist, ready to delver a knock out punch. Morgan stands, and ducks underneath the punch. Morgan clotheslines Big Show, but it doesn't knock him down. Show is stunned, so Morgan runs against the roes and boots Show in the face. The boot knocks Show into the corner, and Morgan runs at him and body avalanches the Big Show. Show still won't go down, so Morgan removes his elbow pads and repeatedly elbows Big Show in the head. Morgan moves and Big Show falls flat on his face. Morgan covers Show, One, Two, Kick out by Show. Morgan stands and stomps on Show some more, and then goes for another cover, One, Two, kick out again by Show. Morgan stands and stalks Show to stand. Show stands and Morgan goes for another big clothesline, but Show grabs Morgan's neck! Show yells at Morgan before lifting him up. Morgan slides out of Big Shows grasp and ends up behind Show. Show turns around, and Morgan somehow lifts Show up into a firemen carry position! Morgan spins Show and drops him! Morgan F5's Big Show! Morgan drapes his arm over Show for the pin, One, Two, kick out at two! Big Show some how kicked out of that vicious F5! Morgan stands right up and gets face to face with the referee about the two count. Morgan backs up and shouts for Big Show to stand. It takes Show a while, but when he finally does, Morgan goes for the Carbon Footprint, but Show moves out of the way, causing Morgan to get his foot stuck in the corner. This allows Show some time to recover, as Morgan frantically attempts to get his foot free. Morgan does and goes at Big Show, but Big Show throws his famous knock out punch, but Morgan again ducks underneath it! Big Show accidentally hits the knock out punch on the referee! The ref falls to the ground, but Big Show turns around and goes for another punch. This time though, it connects to Morgan and Morgan is knocked out cold! Show falls on top of Morgan, but the ref is knocked out! Show rolls off of Morgan and goes over towards the referee. Show tries to wake him up, but the referee is completely out cold. Show cant get him up, but we see that another referee is running down the ramp. Show signals for him to hurry up, and when the referee gets into the ring, Show immediately covers Morgan, One, Two, MORGAN KICKS OUT! Big Show stands and picks the referee up by his shirt yelling about the count. The referee signals for Show to put him down and he does. The referee doesn't call for the disqualification, but we see that Morgan has crawled to his feet. Big Show turns around and walks towards Morgan, but Morgan runs and hits a Carbon Footprint out of no where! Morgan falls on top of Big Show, One, Two, and Three!!! Matt Morgan is the Television Champion!
Winner and NEW Television Champion- Matt Morgan!!
Morgan hops off Show and screams in excitement. The referee gives him the title and Morgan raises it high so everyone can see. "Matt Morgan is the first ever champion here in GCF, can you believe it Cole?" "No Tazz, I really can't believe that Morgan beat the Big Show. It was an extremely impressive showing and he definitely deserves that belt." "Well I'm sure we will get the honor of hearing from Morgan next week, but this week, we are out of time. We will see you next week, on Impact Raw" The final image is the referee putting the belt around Morgan's waist, while Big Show lies there dejected and hurt.

Iain Duncan Smith's plans for a welfare revolution have run into trouble after the Treasury rejected a series of proposals put forward by his department.
Officials at his Department for Work and Pensions were told to redo their sums after presenting plans that would either cost billions or disadvantage too many people, according to Whitehall sources. They say tensions are rising between the DWP and the Treasury, who are at loggerheads about how to make Duncan Smith's vision to encourage people back into work affordable.
It is believed that the minister has gone directly to No 10 with the controversial suggestion to means test child benefit in order to pay for the changes. But Duncan Smith knows it would be a politically tough pill for the coalition to swallow because means testing would hit middle-class families.
According to one source who has attended meetings between the two departments, Duncan Smith is not prepared to accept anything less than wholesale reform of the welfare system. He was hoping to present a white paper before the summer recess, but sources say it is more likely to be a strategy paper – outlining the principles but without finalised policy plans.
Duncan Smith's central idea is to increase the "work incentive" by ensuring that there is enough of a financial gain for people on benefits to work. The difficulty is that the way to address the issue is either to increase payments to those in work – which would cost billions – or to withdraw benefits to those out of work or in the lowest paid jobs – hurting the most vulnerable in society.
Before the election, the Centre for Social Justice thinktank came up with proposals that carried a price tag of £3.7bn a year, claiming that the money would be clawed back over time and eventually result in savings.
The chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, has repeatedly pitted the DWP against other departments by claiming that the choice is between cutting the UK's annual £192bn welfare bill or slashing budgets in other areas such as schools, the police or transport. Sources say officials at the DWP are "frustrated" that the Treasury will not take into account the potential income raised from income tax and VAT as more people move into work.
Kayte Lawton, research fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research, said it was inevitable there would be tensions between the DWP and the Treasury because Duncan Smith's ideas depended on spending money in the short term that could be regained in the long term. Lawton said she feared that Duncan Smith would be forced to divert money from elsewhere in his department to pay for his plans or would resort to taking money from the lowest paid.
The former government faced the same dilemma. Yvette Cooper, the shadow secretary for work and pensions, said: "Tax credits have already helped make a lot of people better off in work and we wanted to go further with our 'better-off guarantee'. We always thought simplifying the benefits system to increase incentives to work longer or get promoted was very sensible and looked at ways to do it for a long time, but it either cost too much or meant millions lost support.
"That is why we had looked at incremental changes. But to make big changes all at once costs billions. It is very hard to see George Osborne coming up with that when he has made it clear that he wants to slash billions from the welfare bill."
One Whitehall source claimed that there was "no fight" between the departments, but that there had been "robust" discussions, as would be expected during such negotiations.

Couples therapy – what's it all about?
A lot people write me asking what couples therapy is really all about. Some want to get into therapy while others just want to hear how it is done.
Shit, "something's" missing!
Perhaps you are feeling that "something" is just not as it should be.
Driving home from work, you may feel it in your stomach like a lump, a slight headache or thoughts that might not be spoken aloud.
You rarely have sex and you no longer know how your partner really feels deep down.
It has also been a long time since you spent time together as a couple.
Maybe you are chronically irritated or really just do not care about your partner at this point.
You can feel that "something's" missing.
You may have even tried different things which went very well initially…
But then the same old patterns and routines settled back in.
And it probably seems as though you're the only one who is feeling this way.
Sometimes you think in fact that you might be with the wrong partner.
And then there are the children.
But you and your partner need "something" and you know that if nothing happens soon it will be over.
Honey, do you want to come with me to couples therapy?
Most couples wait a long time between recognizing the need for couples therapy and actually bringing it up.
Sometimes, one partner may have tried to talk to the other partner about therapy for years.
But the partner has refused, postponed it and not thought it was necessary.
Maybe even said: "We should be able to cope", or directly stated: "You'll NEVER make me go".
When an ultimatum is given – "Couples Therapy or I'm out of here", then the partner agrees and wants to fight because NOW the pain is bad enough for that person to do something about it.
There is something to lose.
In most cases though, couples come to my clinic before the crisis is at its peak. They have a shared desire to get address the relationship problems.
And to learn to feel good again.
For good!
What are the problems? Really?
The first time I meet with a couple, we do a structured clarification and set objectives.
I need to know specifically what problems the couple experiences, what they want more of and what they want less of.
Then we set a concrete goal.
What should the couple learn from me and in what order of importance?
Look beyond the "symptoms"
If we look beyond the symptoms and look at how the issues are more directly expressed as quarrels, lack of libido, silent treatments, irritation, etc., we often find that problems can be boiled down to a very few specific issues such as communication problems.
In order to go beyond symptoms and directly into the core of the problems and get good and long lasting results, we need to make everything clear and set a goal.
Your dedication, commitment and expectations mean EVERYTHING!
"If you continue to do what you've always done, you continue getting the same results as you always have," says an old proverb.
And it is quite correct.
The more committed you are both in the work, the homework you get and the energy you put into it, the faster and better the results.
Couples who are highly motivated in changing things for the better are often surprised by the results they get after only the first session.
But it is between sessions that the results truly kick in.
You do not save your relationship by going into couples therapy and then go home, cross your fingers and hope for the best.
You save your relationship by knowing which buttons to press and then to tap them.
Again and again.
If you are expecting your partner to change but don't want to change your own behavior, then you will be disappointed.
But if you both have the will to change "what you do", you will experience great improvements faster than you expect.
I only work with couples where both partners have a sincere desire to learn and effect change and have acknowledged that it is a joint effort.
Homework – Yes, damn it!
I'm an "old" school teacher and you WILL get assigned homework between sessions.
My most important job is to teach you, as quickly as possible, how to deal with your own problems and be able to turn things around when you feel your relationship is going down the drain.
I could be so bold as to say that my job is to make myself no longer needed as soon as possible.
It would be all for nothing if you get help in my clinic in solving your relationship problems but are unable to transfer your results to cope with the challenges in your everyday life.
It would be a waste of your money and my time.
I can give you a fish if you are hungry…
Or I can give you a fishing rod and teach you how to use it, evaluate your way of using it, and then send you on a fishing trip by yourself.
Point taken?
How soon can we expect results?
If you are engaged in the process, do your homework and are open to my suggestions and ideas, then you can expect to move forward quickly!
How long do you go to couples therapy?
On average I see couples for 8-12 therapy sessions.
Including the initial clarification session and one to two follow-ups, to keep you on your path.
When do you know that you are ready to quit couples therapy
You'll know!
Each session we establish exactly how things are going with you.
And you will be able to tell through the atmosphere at home, your communication and your desire for sex, that you are moving forward.
You are finished once you have reached the goals we set in the very first clarification session.
Various forms of couples therapy
You should be aware that there are many different ways of doing couples therapy.
My main focus is to give you the tools for you to begin to solve your own problems at home.
Other therapists work in other ways.
The term "couples therapist" is a bit misleading for what I do as most of my work with is about teaching and training for ideal communication.
It often happens that you go into couples therapy and realize that you do not have the right chemistry with the therapist.
That he/she has a different focus than you or that you do not move forward as quickly as you would like, etc.
But do not give up!
You don't stop a project on your house just because you have had an unsatisfactory experience with one single carpenter, right?
How do we find the "right" therapist for us?
Look at the person's website.
Does the couples therapist appeal to you?
Can the couples therapist give you what you want?
How are their methods of couples therapy described or outlined?
Then email or call the therapist and have a chat to see if your gut tells you.
You can also check if anyone in your network can recommend a counselor.
Take good care of you and your love.

Good one Maj! I was thinking about getting our church pics done. The photographer told me to turn just a littl because it was more slenderizing…my husband shot her the meanest look and she snapped our picture! Now we have awful pictures…couple therapy with the wrong person could do the same thing!

"There are two things you don't want to see being made—sausage and legislation. They're both messy. Often you have no idea what's in the end product. And what goes into the process is, well, not for the faint-hearted."— Otto Van Bismarck
Such sayings/idioms, even though amusing on the surface, betray an undeniable and fundamental fault with how we as governments continue to create policies and govern. The problems facing our policymakers and the potential solutions are well-known, although as they say, the devil lies in the implementation; more often than not the real quagmire of all policy and governance failures can be traced to the foundational issue of improper implementation.
There are three fundamental questions to be asked before the process of policymaking initiates:
1. When is government intervention needed?
2. How to navigate the terrain of political economy?
3. How to improve state capacity to execute policies and schemes?
When is government intervention needed?
The government is the entity that wields the maximum power to pursue multiple objectives for the welfare of society. No one doubts the importance of a well-oiled state machinery; however, unbridled state intervention raises reasonable doubts on its need and requirement in the various situations concerned.
Four market failure categories cover the areas where intervention by the government is required and the provision of services and goods cannot be left to the forces of free markets.
In the realm of economics, there exists the concept of "laissez faire". In plain speak, laissez faire is a system where the incentives of private players to provide services are not shaped by government interventions and all economic activities can take place without being encumbered by coercive measures such as tariffs, subsidies and taxes. Laissez faire was defined by the following three axioms that were proposed by economist Adam Smith in 1776:
- The Invisible Hand: The notion that an individual's efforts to maximise her own gains in a free market benefits society even when her ambitions have no benevolent intentions.
- Advantage of Competition: Natural competition amongst private entities, instead of closely controlled state companies and organisations, fosters better and cheaper product development for the end consumer
- Dynamics of Supply and Demand: The producers of good in a free market will produce enough to meet the demands of the consumers and this potential equilibrium will rationalise and modulate the prices in an economy.
The idea of laissez faire is a powerful one; one that injects innovation, energy and dynamism into an economy for it prevents the meddlesome state from resorting to desultory means of imposing and structuring licensing paraphernalia, like the Fabianis-tic policies that India witnessed during the license-raj era and which looks set to return with the inefficacious demonetisation rollout. However, as beautiful a concept laissez faire is, its limitations and failures in fostering crony capitalism and in imposing a distinct lack of focus on the welfare of the underprivileged are well documented and tested.
This then begs the fundamental question of when the state should react and respond to these failures of the free market. These market failures can be, summarily, divided into four categories:
1. Negative externalities identified by the exploitation of the commons
A negative externality is the cost borne by a tertiary player in the system due to the actions of the primary and secondary players. Let us consider the case of people suffering from respiratory diseases due to pollution spewing vehicles on the roads:
- Assuming that all the people who are using vehicles to aid their transportation process are within limits of plausible rationality; each person then seeks to maximise her benefits associated with travelling in a private vehicle. These benefits include: comfort, savings on account of time, status in the society, among other things.
- Given that these people are rational beings, each person performs the following mental calculation: Is the usage of a vehicle for the purposes of transportation benefitting me?
- She generally has the following answers in mind: The positive component is the array of benefits associated with usage of a vehicle; The negative component is the pollution caused due to the vehicle.
- However, the person justifies her usage of a vehicle by way of the argument that the negative externalities produced due to her actions are shared amongst different stakeholders, whilst the positive benefits are accrued by her only.
Such instances which involve exploitation of the commons require immediate interventions by the state.
The road rationing experiment tried out by the Delhi government to reduce air pollution is an example of a relatively successful state intervention.
2. Market forces of capitalism resulting in concentration of power
As described above, the single-minded pursuance of laissez faire often gives rise to crony capitalism which is usually identified by monopolistic and oligopolistic markets.
This gives rise to a system where there is a concentration of power among a few instead of dispersion of power in the hands of many. This results in distortions in the market economy, causing exploitation of the needy and the poor.
This again requires intervention by the state to regulate markets by way of rules, laws and policies which aim to safeguard the interests of the people.
3. Asymmetry of information
Markets usually produce the end consumers with varied choices of products and services, whose quality and/or reputation is hard to know, in advance.
This results in information asymmetries where the consumer goes in blind, oblivious to the quality of the service that he is utilising, argued George Akerlof. Example: a patient visits a doctor for a routine examination, but he has no knowledge of the reputation and credibility of his professional medical practice
The government needs to remove these asymmetries and ensure proper information dissemination to the citizens on the availability of cogent information. Example: The government of India, through the Medical Council of India (MCI) empanels doctors and medical institutions after a rigorous vetting process, which signals the credibility of the practitioner concerned to the citizen.
4. Provisos for non-rival and non-excludable goods
In the field of micro-economics, the following matrix of the categories of service provided in a market is followed:
Thus, it is incumbent upon the government to provide for and intervene in systems and market failures which involve non-rival and non-excludable goods
With this we have answered our question of: When is government intervention needed? These four market failure categories comprehensively cover the areas where intervention by the government is required and the provision of services and goods cannot be left to the forces of free markets.
The second article of this series will answer the questions of how to navigate the terrain of political economy and how to improve state capacity to execute policies and schemes. The third article will look at potential solutions to simplify and strengthen the supply chain of ideation, policy creation and its cogent implementation.

Oh no! WordPress login Error!
Today morning when i tried to login in my wp admin panel i faced a strange problem.
The wp-admin page was vanished like a blank page in wp-admin dir after than i tried to login via wp-login.php then i got an error says
"ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output. For help, please see this documentation or try the support forums."
But there where no Cookies blocked so i goggled my problem and found some useful answers like :
Reason Behind it:
One of the active plugins (or the theme's functions.php file) produces unexpected output, causing a "headers already sent" warning and consequently preventing WordPress from setting the test cookie.
UTF-8 byte order mark in wp-config.php (or theme's functions.php file) has the same effect as above.
Solution :
In case of a plugin issue, the solution would be to rename its folder via FTP. In case of a UTF-8 byte order mark issue, the solution is to re-save the file without it. Notepad++ has an option for that: "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM".
But both the solution doesn't worked for me, then i checked my theme's function.php and found that some extra code has been added to it so i just replaced it with the original function.php file and my problem was solved!
I also found that this error may be a Bug in WordPress 3.9, many user doesn't get the genuine solution for there question, So you may ask here. May be i can help you 🙂
