The Main Thing is to Let the Main Thing Be the Main Thing/
There is an old German proverb that says, "The main thing is that the main thing is always the main thing." Let me suggest that this bit of sage advice reflects a spiritual truth. No matter what circumstances change; no matter what we feel or think; no matter what corrupt values pervade our culture; no matter what temptations attack us; God is Sovereign, and we exist for His glory, and He is at work in all things for the good of those who love Him to conform us to the likeness of His Son. The proverb expresses a spiritual reality in mundane language. Over my years as a Bible teacher, I have found it to be of some value to rephrase this old proverb to suggest a spiritual strategy: The main thing is to let the main thing be the main thing.
Now we would all like to think that we have a handle on this idea; that we have our spiritual priorities right. But every once in a while something – usually a dose of Biblical truth - shakes up our thinking and makes us re-evaluate. Some research I heard about several years ago from George Barna's research group and a quote from John Piper has provoked just such a re-examination of thinking for me. In response to a questionnaire asking about top priorities in ministry, the largest percentage of pastors responding said that their top area of emphasis was discipleship and evangelism. In many ways, this is encouraging and exciting. It means that many American churches still embrace "the Great Commission" of our Lord Jesus (Matthew 28:19, 20). However, there is another way of looking at it. Consider this quote from Piper:
"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions."
(John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad: The Supremacy of God in Missions.)
Does that shake up your thinking? It is true. Our purpose and our destiny is that we might be "to the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:14). This prompted me to think about "the worship wars" that continue to afflict the American church, and I began to wonder if this might be a strategy of the devil like Balaam's strategy for the destruction of Israel (Numbers 22 -25). Basically, the plan was to destroy Israel from within; to corrupt the Israelites' values and compromise the worship of the one true God. Interestingly, Barna's study revealed that the area of ministry that ministers emphasize the least – only 3% reported any significant emphasis at all in this area – is prayer, a fundamental aspect of worship. I thought about the decline of the family in our culture and wondered if it might be related to our inconsistency or abdication as Christian families to train our children as worshippers in the home and in the Body of Christ. It may not now surprise you to learn that, according to Barna's research, the second least emphasized area of ministry in American churches (4%) is ministry to the family.
Satan's strategy in the Garden of Eden was very subtle. He encouraged Adam and Eve's desire to be like God while deceiving them into failing to recognize God in His rightful place of authority in their lives. In other words, failure to worship. Is it possible that the enemy might actually encourage God's people to desire to follow Christ's Great Commission, while at the same time deceive them into relegating worship to a lower priority in their personal lives, in their families, and in the Church? If God is not in His rightful place in our lives, in our families, and in our churches, then everything else is in danger of becoming an idol - even good and right things. Without acknowledgment of God's sovereign right to command his creatures, the desire to be like God was the pathway to sin for Adam and Eve. If worship is not the priority of the fellowship and the purpose of our churches and in our homes, all of our efforts in ministry – even evangelism – lacks the proper "fuel" and "goal." It might not look like an idol, but an idol it will be nonetheless.
Worship is the recognition and declaration of God's ultimate worth. Our role in worship is to submit to Him and to adore Him because He is worthy. The old catechism asks, "What is the chief end of man?" The answer is "To glorify God and enjoy Him forever"; in other words, to worship. The Lord Jesus Himself tells us that God seeks worshippers. But the world, the flesh, and the devil conspire against our worship of God in spirit and in truth, and we have allowed these enemies to succeed in corrupting us from within.
We, as American church-goers, seem to be most interested in having our needs met. We are hopping from church to church because of programs and facilities, bells and whistles. Parents shop churches for what they can do for their kids instead of committing to a worshipping community and taking the Biblical responsibility to disciple their own children. We argue about "worship" style, when what we are really interested in is the kind of music we like and dislike. Created by the Lord Jesus for unity (Ephesians 2:11 – 4:16), the Church remains fractionalized because the individual's commitment to a body of believers seems dependent upon the answer to "What have you done for me lately?"
God's people must cease to be motivated primarily by what we get out of the Church as spiritual consumers. God is the Consumer in worship. "Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:28, 29). Our sacrifices of worship are either consumed and destroyed as "wood, hay, and stubble," or they are consumed and accepted as a "sweet smelling savor," sacrifices with which God is well pleased (Hebrews 13:15, 16). We need to get our priorities right. We need to remember that "the main thing is to let the main thing be the main thing." And our priority, our "chief end," our "main thing" is to worship God for He alone is worthy.
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 11:33 – 12:2)

I have the tool you need…absolutely free.
It's my super-easy Google Sheet template that will help you stay organized, and delegate tasks to you Virtual Assistant or to your team exceedingly well (click here to grab it). It's a little "how-to" solo-pisode that I'm really excited to have you listen to…I've been talking to A LOT of online entrepreneurs lately, especially with all the influence I've had from Jeff J Hunter and there are A LOT of you, entrepreneur or corporate, who just DON'T KNOW how to delegate tasks effectively.
Listen to this episode and I'll give you some ways to simplify things, because here's the thing…
and I hear it a lot…
- I don't know how or what to delegate
- They don't get it done quick enough
- How do I know what they're working on?
You may be an online entrepreneur, you may be a Corporate Supervisor, a VP, even if you own a gym... I don't care who you are, if you have HUMANS reporting to you there has to be an effective way to give them engaging work and to hold them accountable to getting it done on time.
If you don't hold them accountable, you may be thinking you're awesome, right? You're like, "I'm not a micro-manager, people LOVE working for me!"
When you don't manage your team appropriately, you get subpar work and chaos. This is amplified when you have a virtual team.
So what can you do about it?
Let's start with WHAT to delegate. I'm constantly BLOWN away by the crazy stuff people work on, especially entrepreneurs who have SO MUCH BETTER things to do!!!
You don't know what to give your assistant? You don't know what a VA would work on if you hired one?
Let's keep it simple…how about all the stuff you're doing that frustrates you?
The stuff that's just NOT the best use of your time. If you're a Supervisor and you're spending time formatting documents, don't do that anymore.
If you're spending time entering data, responding to silly emails, the list goes on and on…there are so many things you can get off your plate so you can focus on HIGH PRIORITY STRATEGIC work, or getting out there and selling your services.
I'm not going to exhaust my "what to delegate" philosophy so if you have questions hit me up in the Facebook group, Productive on Purpose (P.O.P.)
So let's get to the real reason you're listening…You want to solve the issue of how to delegate with ease. I struggled myself. I tried using some task management platforms and shared access with my Assistant. I gave some of my partners access to Asana and Trello and although it was ok, I found myself worried too much about setting the tool up rather than just getting it done and passing it on. That's where my Google Sheet really simplifies things.
So if you're looking to stop worrying about your assistants not getting things done quick enough or not knowing what they're working on, or even NOT doing it like you would do it yourself, make sure you listen all the way through...

Radio promotion has begun. We hired Event Management for both a radio and print campaign. After some 5:00 a.m. misuderstandings yesterday, I started today. The station was going to give me a wake up call, but after missing one yesterday I woke up before my 5:30 alarm. In fact, I think I did one of those wake up every two hour jobbies where you're wondering if it's time yet. Good thing because they only called at 5:40 when it was time to go live. But I was already up and at my desk with notes in front of me.
I was on WFLA-AM 970 in Tampa, FL at 8:40 a.m.
It's funny how it works. The Mistress of Misadventure thing is a grab and they wanted to know what kind of whacky things I've done. Good thing I had a list in front of me. But I can still definitely polish. That was just the first. They say that after you've done a handful, they all come naturally. I bet that's true because I saw that with the events and author readings. Anyway, I'll post the radio schedule soon. It'd be cool if I was coming to an airwave near you. You know, when you're waking up and having your coffee or driving to work at 8 a.m. 🙂

[Pen hangs up.]
- Sio: Dad, what was that for? You can't hang up on our headmistress!
- Pen: You might not know this, but Mrs. Ball does have the ... best relationship with your mum and me.
- Sio: I know; she calls me the second spawn of Satan and gives herself an exorcism whenever she sees me.
- Javier: Wait, Dad, how many days are there until school?
- Sio: Exactly fifty.
- Javier: NOOOOOOOOO!
[He runs upstairs in a hurry.]
- Pen: What was that for?
[Sio shrugs.]

- Javier: Mum, I have a school project.

- Javier: [sigh] I've got the instructions in my cap.
- Pencil: I won' look.
[She places her hand on her eyes, making the screen go dark for a bit.]
- Javier: Okay. [reading]
- Dear student, welcome to your middle division classes of 2014 and 2015! The experience of being in over six classes in one day and meeting new people may sound like a difficult experience, but it is in fact easy. In this world of conflict, it can be hard to understand that objects around us all have their own stories. Your project is simple. Everyone's entry into Kenya is different from each other. Interview your family members and find out how they arrived in this wonderful nation. On the first day of school, we will all present before all of the classes.
- Pencil: Wow. Y'jus' read'e.

- Pencil: H'Avi, not all o' me's from Kenya!
- Javier: But what would Avozinha say?
- Pencil: I woul'n' guess. She refuses to share 'er life story at anythin' but Portuguese. [beat] But why ask yer dad? Leavin' Europe ter Africker er Americker out o' war er prosperité ... thet's e'eryone's story!
- Javier: I know, Mum, but—

Parents' roomEdit
- Citlali: Mum!
- Zorah: Whatcha doin'?
- Pencil: Oh, y'know, stress-workoutin' o'er yer brother's decision.
- Citlali: Well, Mum, I have an idea.
[Pencil puts down her barbells.]
- Pencil: Wait, don' tell me. 'S this about yer phone?
- Citlali: How did you know?
- Pencil: Well, the fact thet you talked of'e las' night was a cle'er indicator, so good job on thet.

- Citlali: Come on, Mum, this morning, my phone almost caught on fire!
- Zorah: And I videoed! Then I tried to put it on PYM, but it did not work.
- Pencil: 'Ow d'you almos' catch a thing on fire? An' it's workin' still, innit?
- Citlali: Yeah, but—
- Pencil: This convo h'is o'er.
[She goes back to her workout. Exeunt Zorah and Citlali.]
- Citlali: Thanks for nothing, Ora!
- Zorah: My success rate with Mum and Dad isn't perfect, y'know.
- Citlali: Let's go bother someone else.
[Suddenly, enter Pen with Javier following.]
- Pen: Hey, Penc, can I enter?
- Pencil: I don' know, can ye?
[She slaps him.]
- Pen: There is a child behind me!
- Pencil: Y'di'n' care o' thet, Avi, no?
- Javier: [on the tablet] Not really.
- Pencil: Wot's'ee doin' 'ere anyways? There's a football game on now.

- Pencil: I know! Now I'll be at the toilets, throwin' up.
[Exit Pencil.]
- Javier: So, where's this story start?
- Pen: I actually have it written down somewhere.
[He pulls a lever by his bed and the nightstand rises, revealing a large file cabinet.]
- Pen: [looking through] Let's see: Grade 8, Grade 7, Grade 6, October, September ... [finds it] Aha! "How We Came to Canada". This comes from the year 2000, by the way.
- Javier: That's before I was born! And you wrote this?
- Pen: Well, it was actually your grandpa who wrote it for me. He tried to copy my writing font.[1]
- Javier: Can I read it?
- Pen: Sure!
[He hands over the paper.]
- Javier: "Once upon a time in the Salentine Gallipoli[2] lived a lady fair; Zenobia was her given name, Singrafè her sur ..."
Boys' roomEdit
- Salvador: What? My not weird older brother is acting weird!
[Sio stops.]
- Sio: Hey, Chavo, can you keep a secret?
- Salvador: No.
- Sio: Okay.
[He goes back to rummaging, but Salvador stops him.]
- Salvador: Wait! You asked if I could keep a secret. Do you have one?
- Sio: No, no, of course I don't!
- Salvador: You do! And you're lying, and I know it!
- Sio: I won't tell it to you. You'll tell the first person you see, who'll probably be Mum or Dad.
- Salvador: I won't tell.
- Sio: Good.
- Salvador: If ...
- Sio: If what?
- Salvador: You're inventing websites now, yeah?
- Sio: I don't invent them, I just design—
- Salvador: Whatever. But can you make me a website that has a picture of cute bunnies in it?
- Sio: [slowly] Sure. I didn't know cute was your thing.
- Salvador: And after some seconds, a giant monster pops up and scares the person watching!
- Sio: That sounds more like you.
[Salvador nods.]
- Sio: Sure, I'll make that website.
[Exit Salvador.]
- Sio: Wow, I think he forgot about my secret.
[Enter Salvador again.]
- Salvador: Oh yeah, and what's your secret?
- Sio: I blame myself. [to Salvador] You might want to hear this, Chavs ... the secret is ...
- Salvador: Yes?
- Sio: Don't tell Mum and Dad this, but I haven't seen Cil in almost a month.
- Salvador: What? You lost our brother! PENCIL! PEN!
- Sio: DON'T COME IN HERE, EVERYTHING IS FINE!
- Pen: [from the other room] Are you sure?
- Sio: YEAH! … Right. [to Sio] You said you wouldn't tell!
- Salvador: Oh poop.
Parents' roomEdit
- Javier: "And that is the reason my family and I are true citizens of Canada, always here to stay, never to leave." [pause] Dad?
- Pen: Yeah, you might want to get rid of that part.
- Javier: I mean, this … plagiarised work is nice and all, but I don't think I can turn it in.
- Pen: Why not? Your grandpa likes to use words nobody knows.
- Javier: I know, but this essay isn't about how we came to Canada. It's about how we came to Kenya.
- Pen: Kenya, eh? [he thinks for a second] Come with me.
- Javier: Where?
- Pen: [climbing into the file cabinet] I've put so much stuff in here that it's a walk-in cabinet!
- Javier: Cool!
[Javier climbs in too, effectively leaving the room. Enter Saye.]
- Saye: [to herself] Maybe if I take one shilling every minute, she won't notice!
[Enter Citlali and Ximena abruptly.]
- Citlali: HI SAYE!
- Saye: Oh shiと, I wasn't stealing stuff.
- Citlali: You're old, right?
- Saye: I'm mature, not old.
- Citlali: So you know someone with a car?
- Saye: Yes, why?
- Citlali: Do you think you can …
- Saye: Get Glamour and drive you two rugrats to the toy store? No thanks. My girl G's in Canada celebrating her eighteen-and-a-halfth birthday.
- Ximena: Toy store? Ha!
- Citlali: But we do have to go to the toy store. The fancy, expensive one. [she does the sign language for mobile phone]
- Saye: Oh, you mean the phone store! It's a ten-minute walk from here. I'll take you, I need a Landroid.
- Ximena: Yeah, I hear those phones are cool!
- Saye: Omg, right?
- Citlali: You've changed your mind.
- Saye: Y'know, I'm in here to get money to buy a phone too—mine exploded ten minutes ago.
- Citlali: [sadly] Aww …
- Ximena: We are pole kwa[3] your loss.
- Saye: Then here we go!
[Exeunt tres. At the same time, enter Javier and Pen from the filing cabinet.]
- Pen: It's a few legal documents from customs, but they'll accept it, eh?
- Javier: Woah, did you hear that?
- Pen: What was it?
- Javier: Saye, Lallie and Mona are going to the store to get a new phone, and it's a Landroid!
- Pen: What? There's no way they're doing that—who knows what they'll buy with my money!
[Exit Pen. Javier stays in the room for a while. He looks through the documents.]
- Javier: No way!
Boys' roomEdit
- Javier: Greetings, younger brother!
- Salvador: [taking his headset off] WHAT?
- Javier: I was wondering … can you keep a secret?
- Salvador: Another one? Sio told me one too!
- Javier: Yeah, but this is different. Seriously different.
- Salvador: Fine.
- Javier: And you'd better not tell.
- Salvador: I won't. If …
- Javier: If wha—
- Salvador: I don't know, Sio's working on my dream website! You choose!
- Javier: Okay, I choose nothing.
- Salvador: Oh, fuㅋ.
- Javier: Anyways, I was looking at Dad's immigration files and I found out his real name!
- Salvador: Really? What is it?
- Javier: His name isn't really P-E-N … It's … [he whispers something unintelligible[4]]
- Salvador: No way, I have to tell someone!
- Javier: Don't! Dad will be mad I know!
- Salvador: No he won't. He wasn't mad when I spilt his Shōhakoku on the carpet last week!
- Javier: Whatever. Just don't tell people.
- Pencil: An' I was like—
- Match: And I was like—
- Pen: Penc!
- Pencil: Aye?
- Pen: We have to go to the phone store!
- Pencil: Righ' now, why?
- Pen: It's our daughter! She needys us.
[A slap from nowhere.]
- Pencil: We'd be'er go. Match, y'stay.
- Pen: Why are you here, anyways?
- Match: Why wouldn't I, like, be here?
- Pencil: An' wot about Avi's project?
- Pen: He can't write about me.
- Pencil: Yay! I'm stayin' ter 'elp.
[Exeunt Pen.]
Outside the storeEdit
- Saye: Omg, this is the best store in the universe!
- Citlali: Nah, the one in Rome's the best. All roads lead to it, so it must be good!
- Saye: Lallie, can I borrow your phone? I need to call Mia and tell her stuff.
- Citlali: Okay.
[She hands her her phone.]
- Saye: You two can go shop inside.
- Citlali: Really?
- Ximena: Hooray!
[Citlali and Ximena enter. Saye dials a number on the phone.]
- Saye: Hey, Mia! You'll never guess where I am! … No, I'm not at the airport. Where are you? … Hawaii? Omg, that's—
[The shadow of Zorah runs into the building.]
- Zorah: [laughing[5]] HeheheheheheHEHEHEhehehehehehe …
- Saye: Hold on, girl, I just saw my evil little sister.
[She hangs up.]
Boys' roomEdit
- Sio: I think someone just forgot to say goodbye.
Meeple StoreEdit
- [ Citlali · Ximena ]: Ooh! Ah!
- Voice: If you like all this old stuff, you're going to love our newest: It's the MeClass of 2014!
- Citlali: And who are you?
- Cobs: I am Steve. Steve Cobs. Welcome to Meeple, where the future is so old that when it died everything was in black and white.
- Ximena: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! You were on Insanity![6]
- Cobs: I was?
- Citlali: He was? Sorry, I don't watch that show. Just BFDI, because, y'know …
- Ximena: Don't mind her, she's got problems.
- Citlali: Well, what do you have?
- Cobs: [holding up various items] We have the MePad Pro …
- MePad Pro: Hello! How may I be of assi[7]—
- Cobs: How about the MePencil?
- MePencil: 'Ello! Y'look like a fine lot a' kinner 'ere, don'ee think?
- Citlali: No thanks, we've already got a pencil—our mother.
- Cobs: Then may we suggest the MeKnesset? Simulate the Israeli government at the touch of your fingertips!
- Ximena: Mr. Cobs, we know you're nice and all.
- Cobs: The MeNgerine comes at Ksh 200—I know a fruit dealer!
- Citlali: But we came because we have mobile issues.
- Cobs: Oh, right. Then can you tell me the version of your phone?
- Ximena: Oh, y'know …
- Cobs: By the way, the most common types that people have these days are the MePhone 6 and the MePhone 6S.
- Citlali: Then we have that one.
- Cobs: So, what is your problem?
- Citlali: We did not come to get a new MePhone.
- Ximena: You got it, dude!
- Citlali: Like, give us a Landroid. [slow motion] Llaannddrrooiidd …
[The smile fades from Cobs's face. Suddenly, the exterior is shown, and a kicking-out sound is heard as it is in cartoons.]
- Citlali: Ow.
Parents' roomEdit
- Javier: Mum, I was in the middle of—
- Pencil: Don' care. Y'says you di'n' wan' Dad to do yer project fer'ee, yeah?
- Javier: [slowly] Yeah …
- Pencil: Well, look no further! 'Ere I've got all o' the pictures o' me movin' around. Look! Thet's me'n London, an' thet's me in Rio. De Janeiro.
- Javier: But Mum …
- Pencil: If'ee've got any questions fer me, like, why's me own 'istory better than yer dad's, don' 'esitate ter ask.
- Javier: That's great and all, but—
- Pencil: Y'thinks y'shan' interview me, thet's fine. But I've got a microphone an' other stuff to prove meself.
- Javier: Are we really going with this?
- Pencil: Aye! Yer father chickened out. An' yer mum stays strong like the true champion she is.
- Javier: [sigh] Okay, Mum, tell the story of how you got to Kenya.
- Pencil: 'Twas a fine, fine, OMG so fine of a day in 1995. Teen pop 'ad jus' become popular, an' I was about ter enter primary school acos in Brazil they'd got me h'inter o jardim de infância[8], aye, thet's wot it's called.
- Javier: Ah, interesting … not.
Outside of the Meeple storeEdit
- Pen: Meeple—only the best company in the world!
[He enters.]
- Cobs: Welcome to Meeple, where the future is so old, it hated dinosaur meat.
- Pen: That was a good one, Mr. [reading from his name-tag] Cobs. Is that short for Jacobs?
- Cobs: Do you think I look like a Jacobs? I am a Steve![9]
- Pen: Sorry about that.
- Cobs: How may I be of assistance?
- Pen: Well, I was looking for three girls of mine, they wandered in here trying to get a phone.
- Cobs: These monsters?
[He plays the MeCurity footage and sure enough, it's them.]
- Pen: You mean my daughters?
- Cobs: They asked for a Landroid in a Meeple store! Isn't that insulting?
- Pen: Darn right it is!
- Cobs: You go your way!
[He shows him out the door.]
- Cobs: I sent them outside. No Meeple, no service.
On the route homeEdit
- Citlali: Y'know, Mona, I'm okay with my own phone.
- Ximena: Yeah, yours is the only one that didn't explode or burst into flames.
- Zorah: Yet.
[Surprised, the girls turn around and see Saye and Zorah.]
- Saye: I found her in the middle of the store convincing people to buy new MePhone 1s.
- Citlali: That's not a thing!
- Zorah: It will when all the other MePhones self-destruct! And you would love to hear what I found.
- Ximena: If it's a bug and another bug, count me out.
- Zorah: No! Feast your eyes on … these!
[Zorah shows her hands, and in them are a couple of new MePhone models.]
- Citlali: Oh my kid factory! Are those the new MePhones?
- Zorah: Tip top quality!
- Ximena: And you … you stole them?
- Zorah: Sis, no! Do you know how strong their security is? A giant MePhone waiting to fall down on you if you try to steal?[10] This is why good things never happen to us!
- Ximena: Are you stupid in the head? I see them right here.
- Zorah: I didn't get these from the Meeple store, I got it from this Chinese seller guy.
- Zorah: I would as much MePhone as my mother has children.
- Cassim: Would that be one?[11]
- Zorah: No, ten.
[He trades her the phones with the money.]
- Zorah: Xie xie, wo xi wang zai ci he nin yi qi gou wu![12]
[End of flashback.]
- Saye: I didn't know you knew Chinese.
- Zorah: Eh, it helps on this thing called the black market.
- Saye: We should probably phone Dad and make sure he knows we're okay.
- Citlali: I volunteer my phone!
[She calls Pen.]
Outside of the Meeple storeEdit
- Pen: Hello?
- Citlali: Hi, this is Lallie!
- Pen: Where are you? I heard you and your sister have been booted from the Meeple store! Haha. Booted. It's funny because computers.
- Citlali: [groans] Dad!
- Ximena: We're almost home! Where are you?
- Pen: Wandering the city for the last few minutes; all these women keep staring at me. I have to say "I'm married" in 18 languages!
- Ximena: We should have called earlier, but … well, it's a surprise.
- Pen: I'm just glad you're safe. [to someone else] No offence, but I can't be hit on by you. You look like you're 92 years old.
[A slapping sound. They both hang up. At once, Sio opens the door.]
- Sio: What, no goodbye?
- Saye: Thanks for opening the door!
- Citlali: May we reward you with a new MePhone?
- Sio: What the flip, you got, like, ten? How?
- Zorah: It's a long story—
- Saye: —which she'll be glad to tell in Mandarin.
- Sio: You might have to take one away.
- Saye: You can't find Cil at all?
- Sio: How did you know?
- Saye: I'm the oldest daughter. I know everything.
- Sio: I'm going to be in trouble for a million million years. But first, I think I'll just go take a nap.
[Exit Sio.]
- Ximena: Goodbye!
[Enter Salvador.]
- Salvador: Hey, where's Dad gone? I need to tell him a secret!
- Citlali: Who did you trust with a secret?
- Salvador: Oh, Sio and Avi.
- Zorah: Two? Wow, they're stupid.
- Saye: Well, Dad's been running away from some ladies in the city, so he should be here—
[Enter Pen, out of breath.]
- Saye: —by now.
- Pen: I'm … finally here!
- Ximena: Dad, what happened to you?
- Pen: I was chased by a bunch of foreign girls.
[Pencil appears from the top of the staircase.]
- Pencil: Wot about the foreign girls?
- Pen: Oh, you should have been there. You would have really fended me off. I mean, it was crazy!
- Pencil: I bet I would.
[During this, Javier silently escapes into his room.]
- Pencil: So 'ow was yer days?
[The girls all hide their new phones behind their backs.]
- Daughters: Good!
- Pencil: Thet's good to know. I'm a-workin' on a project, aye, the one 'e cancelled with you, m8!
- Pen: Am I suddenly a victim now?
[The girls back away into their room, but one of Zorah's phones falls with a thud.]
- Ximena: Shut up! This might work!
- Pen: I could hear that, I was trained in espionage. [looks at the floor] And what is that phone doing on the floor?
- Zorah: Wo bu hui shuo Ying Yu.[13]
- Zorah: Okay, okay, the truth is I bought nine new MePhones for the price of one ninth from this Chinese seller guy!
- Pen: Zorah … that was just—
- Citlali: Non-necessary?
- Pen: No! This is the greatest act of sisterhood I have ever seen out of you!
- Zorah: Aw, you mean it?
- Pen: You've never been this nice. Y'know, I should reward you with an unlimited supply of Dabry movies!
- Citlali: WHAT?
- Pen: Not only has she proven herself not to be my evil kid, but she stuck with the family brand. MEEPLE FOR LIFE!
- Citlali: That's it, I can't take it anymore!
- Pen: What do you mean?
- Citlali: Dad, you might not like this, and you might be a little angry at me, but … [sigh] I'm …
- Pen: Oh, I get it. I won't be mad, I've totally prepared for one of my kids to say this, just not you.
- Citlali: I'm actually … a Landroid fan.
- Pen: [as Leafy did in ep. 23] WHAT.
- Citlali: I didn't want to tell you, but I don't feel good owning Meeple products all the time!
- Pen: But they're tradition and they're efficient! All the tech I've ever owned came from Meeple—most other technology is just … bad.
- Citlali: But have you ever tried other technology?
- Pen: Well … no.
- Citlali: You should!
- Pen: I know it's good to try new things, and I tell you kids the same thing too. But my family—we always have got this thing where we buy one brand and never get the other.
- Citlali: Dad, you're pretty much what my teacher called a millennial.
- Pen: As I am aware.
- Citlali: But I don't think we should focus our lives on brands and stuff.
- Pen: Don't you own, like, fifty name-brand clothes?
- Citlali: I know, but I don't shop for names, I shop for beauty! Dad, I know that you grew up in a very rich life, but the truth is, most people in our country are really poor. They're lucky to own just a mobile phone! They won't care what kind or colour or anything is! They just want what they need. Can we do the same thing in our house?
[Silence for a few moments.]
- Pen: Y'know, you're right. I have been acting a little … dumb. Tell you what, we'll go down to the Landroid shop and we'll get you that new Landroid Marshy Marsh or whatever they call it.
- Citlali: Marshmallow?
- Pen: Yeah, that!
- Citlali: Maybe in a few months when my MePhone breaks. That's just my way of thanking Zorah! Can I play now? Giving the talk is more boring than I thought.
- Pen: Sure, go ahead.
[Citlali goes into her room. Having learned something, Pen sighs.]
Girls' roomEdit
- Saye: This is the life!
[Enter Javier.]
- Javier: Saye, can I ask you something?
- Saye: Sure, but ask it over there. You're blocking my view.
- Javier: Sorry. So, when you entered middle school, did you have to do that How-I-Got-To-Kenya project?
- Saye: Yes. And no.
- Javier: What do you mean?
- Saye: You see, nobody actually did the project, because nobody actually does summer homework. I remember my own presentation, three years ago.
- Golf Ball: Up next is Pencil C. Schreiber. Ugh, just proof that some people shouldn't reproduce.
- Saye: Hello, everyone, my name is Saye and you're probably wondering how I even got to Kenya. Well, my people were born on this super rad planet called Jurftingel, and everyone there ate fish sticks and loved me because I was and am still the queen![14]
[The crowd of students laugh, ending the flashback.]
- Saye: It's not about how hard you do, it's about how funny you do. After all, middle school is a pretty crazy place!
- Javier: Really? I don't even have to try?
- Saye: The only thing you need to try is to find the people who actually did try and make jokes about them for the next year. Sio can tell you the same thing, if he's awake now.
- Javier: Thanks! You're really helping me become cool!
- Saye: Ehhh ... whatever.
Boys' roomEdit
- Sio: It's the 100-day anniversary since my Yumenator first worked and I've had the best dreams since!
- Yumenator: [off-screen] Where to tonight?
- Sio: How about ... that beach in Hawai'i we went to?
[Real-dimension footage of a beach in Waikiki.]
- Sio: Never mind, make it Bora Bora.
[The image changes. Suddenly, the screen goes dark.]
- Sio: Oh no, technical difficulties! Now I'm going to have to sleep like a normal pers—
[A voice rings out, deep and slow.]
- Voice: PPPPEEEENNNN ...
- Sio: That's my father's name.
- Voice: YOOOU'LL NEEEEEED MEEEEE ...
- Sio: Not following.
- Voice: THIIIIIS IIIIIS YOOUUR BROOOOOTHEEER ...
- Sio: I knew this is the work of Salvador! I'll make his website soon, I promise!
- Voice: YOOUUR OOOOOTHEEER BROOOOOTHEEER ... CIIIIIL ...
- Sio: Cil, that's you? You have been missing for so long, people are beginning to forget you!
- Voice: BUUUUUT IIIII'M RIIIIIGHT HEEEEERE ....
- Sio: Nice try, but—
- Voice: I'M RIGHT HERE, NOW WAKE UP!
[Sio wakes up and the room is still unlit. He looks up, and at the bottom of his bunk bed is Cil.]
- Sio: Oh my God ...
- Cil: It is me who is speaking currently! You found me!
- Sio: Am I still dreaming?
- Cil: I have been here for so long of a time period—nobody even took an attempt in finding me.
- Sio: That's ridiculous! I looked all over for you for, like, ever.
- Cil: Then you might have looked everywhere except for your own room. What kind of brother are you?
[Flashback to a montage of Sio running around the house for the last few weeks.]
- Cil: Did you even check above you when you sleep?
- Sio: I'm more concerned about how you were able to talk, paddle, breathe and not explode[16]—you look like you've been stuck there for—
- Cil: One month? I know. But as you can see, I am not like the rest of you brothers and sisters. Unlike the rest of you nine, who were made in an object factory, I was made out of love. The pure hard love of our parents.
- Sio: Don't remind me, please.
Parents' roomEdit
- Pen: Più zucchero, per favore?[18]
- Pencil: Oh, don' mind if I do.
[She takes a sugar cube from a tray and gives it to him.]
- Pen: Grazie.
- Pencil: Y'know, we could probably make an eleventh child this way—
- Pen: No!
Boys' roomEdit
- Sio: I find it great that you are able to survive and thrive here, but can you do me a favour?
- Cil: What would you like me to do?
- Sio: Tomorrow morning, Dad's probably going to do a headcount to see if all of us are, y'know, alive. Please be present so I look good!
- Cil: Eh, okay.
- Sio: Yay, thanks!
- Cil: Can I have my sleep now?
- Sio: You've been sleeping for the past like month.
- Cil: True. Good night!
- Sio: Good night!
Thursday, July 17, 2016Edit
- Sio: Cil, wake up! I think this is our signal!
- Cil: I come, brother.
- Sio: Won't people notice you've been gone?
- Cil: No, they won't.
- Salvador: Wait, Cil was gone?
- Sio: To be fair, there are ten of us.
- Cil: That is truly reassuring.
[All report to the kitchen.]
- Javier: What's the emergency, Dad?
- Pen: I have an announcement to make. But first, I need to take attendance through a headcount.
[He counts silently.]
- Pen: Nine kids, one not here ... Perfect!
- Sio: You can go now.
- Cil: Good, I am tired.
- Sio: See you when it's time for kindergarten!
[Exit Cil. Enter Pencil.]
- Pencil: Oi, this better be h'important, I need to get a reason fer me to wake up!
- Pen: I think I've been keeping this secret for long enough from you all, so I've decided to rip the bandage!
- Pencil: Omg, are'ee h'injured?
- Pen: It's an expression! Anyways, you kids know my name, right?
- Qalam-Rassas: Your name is Dad!
- Ximena: No it's not! It is—
- Salvador: Pen!
- Pen: Yes, but did you all know that's not my actual name?
- Citlali: Yeah! Grandma told us you were born as Penn—
[Pencil covers her mouth.]
- Pencil: Oi, don'ee date say thet name les' we've another 'one explosion.
- Citlali: [with mouth covered] Sorry!
- Saye: WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
- Pen: I'm actually called ...
[A pause as he hesitates.]
- Salvador: 🅱en!
[Everyone gasps.]
- Pen: What? That's not true! Oh G-d, he even got the emoji there.
- Salvador: Face it, 🅱en, it's true.
- Pen: [sigh] Fine, that's what I was called.
- Sio: Oh Gosh, how Jewish are you?
- Pencil: An' why'd'yee wait to tell us now?
- Pen: I was going to keep this a secret for a long time, but when your mum and I were ... y'know ...
[He does the eyebrow thing with Pencil.]
- Pencil: Oh, I see ye.
- Zorah: And I'm going to barf.
- Pen: And then I found that thing I didn't want to tell her about.
- Pencil: Aye, wot was thet?
- Pen: My immigration papers.
- Pencil: Oh. You know, when y'wants to say thet there's nothin' there, it's non è nulla, not non "wot's thet word".
- Citlali: Big picture, why is your real name 🅱en?
- Pen: That? Only 2005 kids will get this.
- Ximena: Hey! I'm in school with people from 2005!
- Pen: [sigh] I was tired of people thinking about me the wrong way, so when we moved here from Canada, I had to do a change.
- Pencil: Wot kind o' change?
- Qalam-Rassas: Yeah, what kind?
- Pen: I had to change my name! So, on the official papers, I chose the manliest name possible.
- Sio: And you chose—
- Pen: It means "son" in Hebrew! What could be more masculine than that?
- Pencil: Abba? 'Tmeans "father"!
- Pen: Yes, because every boy wants to be compared to the dancing queen.
- Pencil: True! But why'n 'ow d'ye change from 🅱en to Pen?
- Pen: That, my dear, is a question for the legal system to answer.
[Pen goes upstairs.]
- Pencil: Thet, me kids, is why yer father remains mysterious to this day.
[Pencil follows.]
- Saye: I want to sleep now.
- Ximena: Me too!
- Sio: I'm going to be honest, but I want to pretend all of this never happened.
- Zorah: Same!
[All retreat to their rooms.]
Boys' roomEdit
- Sio: [shaking Salvador] Chavo ... bro ... child number #8!
- Salvador: [immediately] WHAT THE FUク DO YOU WANT?
- Sio: Do you remember when I promised to make you that website?
- Salvador: What website?
- Sio: Like he shouldn't know! That screamer thing in exchange for—
- Salvador: Oh, oh, oh!
- Sio: What, what, what?
- Salvador: You don't have to do that! The whole family know Dad's name now!
- Sio: Are you kidding? I spent minutes creating that!
- Salvador: Good.
- Sio: I've got it loaded up already.
[He turns on the computer and the website is there.]
- Sio: Like it?
- Salvador: Meh.
- Sio: Well, I made it tailored especially for you. Just look closely.
- Salvador: Do you think I'm a wimp? Nothing scares me.
[Happy music plays. Suddenly, an image of puppies, kittens and unicorns fills the screen as there is a sound of children's laughter.]
- Salvador: AAAAAAAAH!
- ↑ As inferred in BFB, Pen and presumably Pencil have the best handwriting.
- ↑ Basically, it's the heel of the boot.
- ↑ (Sw.) "sorry for"
- ↑ Those who have watched the second-newest BFB (as of 4 February 2018) will obviously know.
- ↑ Mischievously, as her father had done.
- ↑ New update! In this universe, the names of object shows drop their "Object"-related prefixes. It's not called Human Survivor or The Human Bachelor, right?
- ↑ When MePad first appeared, it was mid-2013 and therefore he was a MePad 4.
- ↑ (Pt.) "the garden of infancy, that is, kindergarten"
- ↑ Nobody will get this one.
- ↑ Cassim—Ali Baba—it's a double reference!
- ↑ (Ch.) "Thank you, I hope to shop with you again!"
- ↑ (Cn.) "I don't speak English."
- ↑ This was a year before Season 4.
- ↑ Probably.
- ↑ Basically, it's the same intimacy as in "Attack".
- ↑ (Ita.) "More sugar, please?"

The thing that makes copywriting different than other forms of writing is making people take action.
The "action" is different for every type of business and goal, but the biggest thing is getting people to go, "Yeah, I need to do this."
No matter what you write, there are three rules you need to follow and know:
Who you're writing to
Why they should care
How they can take action now
Quality copywriting is really that simple and that complex.
Who You're Writing To
If you don't know who you're targeting with your words, no amount of beautiful prose will help you.
Think of it this way: No amount of good copy for a baby product will ever convince me to buy a baby product. Why? Because I don't have a baby. It can be the most beautiful copy ever written, but it doesn't matter.
You have to know exactly who you're writing to so you can get your copy in front of them.
Copywriting gives you the ability to turn away someone who isn't looking for your product or service. However, the last thing you want to do is turn away people who are the right people - something I see companies do all the time.
You need to know: what they care about, the pain they already have from this problem, and why it matters to them.
The best place to find what you need is to ask your current customers/clients or to read reviews of people who buy similar products and services to yours.
Seriously, reviews are a GOLD MINE and rarely do people take advantage of them. Reviews are a direct look into someone's mind who already bought something. Sure, you can get the opinions of a lot of people who want to buy something, but getting the opinion of someone who already did? GOLD.
Comb through them, mark up repeating phrases, note why they love or hate things… You should end up with countless words you need to use and sprinkle throughout your copy.
Why They Should Care
Answering someone's WHY is the biggest step I see most sites miss completely.
Sure, you have the best productivity system on the planet, but who cares? Why does it matter?
This is also called the "benefits" section.
(If you don't know, features are the specs of the product: sizing, how many chapters in a book… more of the tangible aspects. Benefits are the non-tangible aspects: how it makes someone feel, it makes them more money, it changes their life, etc.)
What makes this product or service different? Why does that matter to their life? What will their life look like after they buy from you?
You can't get to this step without doing the first step. If you don't know who you're writing to, you can't answer why they care.
This is the difference between writing copy that you know your best friend would love and writing copy that appeals to "any 30-year-old woman". The more narrow your focus is, the better your copy will perform.
Most brands and websites want to stay generic so they don't turn away anyone, but by not turning away anyone, you also turn off your potential customers. Huge companies can enjoy being generic, but if you want to stand out you need to draw a line in the sand.
Attracting passionate instead of lukewarm people will always keep you in business.
How They Can Take Action Now
This is the last place where most people get caught: actually telling people what to do.
Instead of saying, "Buy it now", they say, "Oh, you know, whenever you wanna buy it, that's cool. I also have these other blogs you can read and stuff, don't worry about it, take your time."
Now, this doesn't mean you need to lie and create deadlines where they don't exist.
For example, when people tell me there's "LIMITED DAYS" or start running a countdown timer for a digital product? …. fuck off. You and I both know digital products don't sell out, they're an unlimited product. Sure, there might be a deadline because a class is closing or it's being taken off the shelves for a bit, but don't lie. Buyers are smart and they can smell these kind of tactics from a mile away.
You simply want to guide them to the next logical step.
It could look like:
They watch a YouTube video you've uploaded and find it valuable
So then you pitch your free download in exchange for them getting on your email list
In your emails, you mention your smallest product for sale and how it could help them
If they buy your small product, in there you mention your bigger products or even a service they could use that you offer
Let people know what you offer, but don't create fake urgency. Your reputation is far more important than a few extra dollars here and there.
Remind them often of these next steps. It doesn't have to be pushy, it can fit in organically in almost any message you send.
Find your people, know what they care about, and show them how to take action.

Planning for Effective Program Evaluation
Designing a program evaluation is a critical component of ensuring the efficacy of a program.

Hedge-fund Problems Highlight Need for Diversification
Recently published in the Denver Business Journal, Volume 59, Number 22, November 23, 2007-November 26, 2007, (Denver Business Journal), by Richard M. Todd. A reprint of the article may be found by clicking (Reprint).
The U.S. subprime market has dominated headlines in the last six months. Countywide Financial, a gigantic home lender, has had well-publicized problems.
Bear Stearns, a prominent Wall Street firm, had to bail out its own credit-based hedge fund.
Sowood Capital, another large, leveraged hedge fund invested in subprime debt, blew up after its losses exceeded 50 percent.
However, during the second week of August, quantitative hedge funds (firms that rely on data-based models driven by computers) employing long/short equity strategies suffered heavy portfolio losses, while hedge funds using other strategies didn't.
As losses mounted, funds reduced risk in their portfolios by selling shares and raising cash, only to see the markets rebound as they sat on that cash.
According to The Wall Street Journal of Aug. 10, "After the close of trading, Renaissance Technologies Corp., a hedge-fund company with one of the best records in recent years, told investors that a key fund lost 8.7 percent so far in August and is down 7.4 percent in 2007. Another big fund company, Highbridge Capital Management, told investors its Highbridge Statistical Opportunities Fund was 16 percent down for the year."
Hedge funds have become dominant market players. It's interesting to note how the trading behavior of a class of hedge funds has affected the performance of other classes of hedge-fund strategies.
The MIT Sloan School of Management studied the August four-day financial storm that caused so much pain to hedge funds and their investors. It has developed an interesting hypothesis about the rapid unwinding of quantitative equity long/short portfolios.
The Sloan researchers concluded other broad factors contributed to the losses in this rapid unwind and will continue to affect investment performance both positively and negatively. Investors -- particularly trustees and fiduciaries -- in hedge funds should pay attention to these factors.
These factors include:
- They believe that a sudden liquidation of a large multistrategy hedge fund or proprietary trading desk -- which are not made public -- was part of the problem. Speculation that "margin calls from a deteriorating credit portfolio, a decision to cut risk in light of current market conditions or discrete change in business lines was a partial case of collapse," the report says.
- There has been a tremendous growth of long/short and market-neutral hedge-fund strategies.
- Advances in technology, increased competition and declines in market volatility have made it tougher sledding for quantitative (computer-driven) strategies. If everyone is using the same factors, it's hard to develop an edge over competition, let alone passive strategies.
- Leverage has increased dramatically as hedge funds reach for higher returns. Investors and advisors can be swayed by great returns generated by leverage without understanding the higher risks.
- Illiquid credit strategies have led to panic in nearly all markets and strategies. Hedge funds have invested in subprime mortgage, below-investment-grade corporate debt, bank loans and other receivables, such as credit cards, car loans and medical receivables.
Some hedge funds have leveraged these illiquid investments that exacerbated losses as buyers left the market.
It is easy to get lazy (or arrogant) about investments when times are good. Investors and fiduciaries must understand diversification basics with all investment products, especially in the unregulated hedge-fund arena.
Just as with traditional strategies (stocks, bonds; growth, value; small, large; domestic, international), hedge-fund diversification is crucial. Know your hedge-fund characteristics, strategy, approach, expertise and especially leverage.

Tasha Williams, writing for the Pacific Standard, laments the grave disservice America has done to the memory and humanity of African slaves and understanding of its own history in failing to give the "subject proper airtime in our national conversations and classrooms" -- as though slavery was part of the story and not central to America's success.
An excerpt follows, but a reading of the full article is encouraged.
Silence and half-truths work to protect a national secret and a false image. And, like all horrible secrets, the power to perpetuate shame and guilt is diminished with release of the truth.
The real story — the one we Americans don't advertise — is that we didn't emerge from the ashes of the early 20th-century conflicts as a superpower. Nor did we build our might solely from the muscles of Ellis Island. By the beginning of the 19th century, enslaved labor had systematically both directly and indirectly turned the United States into one of the top two economic powers in the world. Later, despite the ravages of the Civil War, the capital and infrastructure extracted from the souls, sweat, and blood of enslaved African Americans positioned a former backwater colony to navigate the Industrial Revolution. In 1880 — not 1917 or 1945 — the U.S. began to supersede its much older and more established rival, Great Britain. The shores of the U.S., in the following decades, became a global beacon for economic opportunity and freedom to over 12 million new arrivals.
U.S. slavery was not a Southern gentlemen's perk. As Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote in his article "The Case for Reparations" in The Atlantic, "by 1840, cotton produced by slave labor constituted 59 percent of the country's exports." The economic contribution of enslaved Americans, nonetheless, did not begin and end with King Cotton in the South. Northern colonies benefited from the slave trade, too, beginning with the Puritans. Slavery and the commerce activity brought by the slave ships passing through New England ports in early America grew the region's nascent economy and, ultimately, advanced the spread of North American colonization beyond the earliest settlements.
There is another rarely discussed aspect of slavery that helped form our nation's global economic footprint. The estimated market value of the enslaved population by 1860 had reached seven times the value of currency in circulation. When a slaveholder needed cash, he had three options: 1) rent out the labor of a person he held in bondage; 2) sell that enslaved person to someone else; or 3) maximize profits by leveraging the enslaved person as highly liquid collateral against loans to finance wealth-increasing activities. Enslaved humans, therefore, boosted the economy not only with their labor, but by living and breathing as relatively liquid assets. Businesses were established and goods were made using people in bondage as collateral. So even when Great Emancipation came, the formerly enslaved still maintained a stake in the economy that was purchased with their very lives.

Weekly Wonder - July 30
Happy Tuesday fam! I'm honestly shocked that I did anything aside from pack last week because we are moving next week (if ya haven't heard)! But I did and lived to tell the tale. Read on for the highlights from last week...
- JOSH AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 9 YEARS. Not going to lie, this year's celebration was really low key because we are literally hemorrhaging money during this process of selling and buying a new home. We did get our first child-free weekend since Jonas was born last weekend, so that definitely counts for something. Very thankful for that alone time with Josh and for my parents who made it possible. Connection is everything.
- Jonas had the last day of his first year of school. It's crazy to think that he's been in school for an entire year. They sent him home with a picture that was taken at the beginning of the year and he's grown so freaking much. Cue all the mom tears. The bright (and difficult) side is that I get to have him home with me (and at work with me) for a week and a half before school starts for the fall. He goes back to school the day we are moving sooooo I'm not sure how that's going to work yet, but we will figure it out! I'm grateful for this time I get to have with him even if it does mean some extra juggling of work and childcare. He's just the best and I'm soaking up every moment with him.
- If you didn't see my Instagram post, I saw Made for More by @msrachelhollis in theater with some of my sister friends. Rachel's words are fiery, powerful, and I just appreciate who she is so much. If you ever feel stuck or unmotivated, just read through some of her content on social media or her book "Girl, Wash Your Face" and that funk you're in will be replaced with a freaking fire under your butt. Rachel is a true testament to the power of a woman who is unafraid to live her life with passion unhindered by others' expectations.
- If you want or need any more motivation to exercise and move your body, listen to this 13 minute TED talk by Wendy Suzuki titled "The Brain-Changing Benefits of Exercise." Her research shows that exercise increases the size of our hippocampus which literally protects us for a longer time from degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia. I'm not a scientist, so I cannot explain it in technical details but my mind was blown and it light s FIRE under my butt to move my body more frequently. Anything I can do to be a healthy presence for my family for as long as I can....sign me up.
- We mayyy be going back to Walt Disney World in a few weeks and my inner child is ecstatic. I'm travelling to Orlando for a work trip and Josh and Jonas may meet me at Disney when I'm done working for a long weekend of exploring the parks. If you don't know, I'm a bit Disney obsessed and Walt Disney World is one of my favorite places on earth. All of this to say, I've been binge watching Disney Food Blog's YouTube channel and making a list of the not to be missed eats. Disney Food Blog is a fantastic resource if you are planning a trip to the parks any time soon...and I not so secretly want their jobs.
Love you guys and hope your week is fantastic!
PS. We got Jonas a little Jurassic Park Lego Duplo set and he's so obsessed with the Lego Dinosaur that he's been sleeping with it. He's never been attached enough to any toy to want to sleep with it and it's the cutest thing ever. And no, he's never seen Jurassic Park. He has, however, seen The Land Before Time (duh).

|Product ReviewsClick here to review this item
|No range
|I really want to like the backing dog and remote but the range is so short it becomes nearly useless. By the time I can pop the dog were so close I couldve done better with a cut out silhouette. Its advertised to 250 yards, with brand new batteries Im lucky to get 15-20 yards.

She teaches him how a pussy should be eaten. He isnt doing it properly so she puts his head between her legs and he learns the meaning of a real pussy eating. He was getting better at it, when his girlfriend comes in. He tells her he only did it because of improving his pussy licking skills. She is skeptical but lets him suck on her clit and insert two fingers in her wet pussy.

Most of my nightmares in life are about being late. When I was a kid, I had nightmares about legitimately scary things, but now that I am older, what wakes me up at night covered in sweat with a racing heart is the fear that I am late for something. I blame this on my highstrung, hyper punctual father. (Who is also very wonderful. Hi Daddy.)
No joke, I have been finished with school for several years now, but I have fairly regular dreams that I am late for class. My travel dreams are no exception. In fact, a couple weeks ago I had a dream that Jen and I were at the Reykjavik airport, where we have a layover in real life next Monday. In my dream, it was kind of magical, like Platform 9-3/4, and for some reason we were in a hurry to catch a train that was about to materialize under the floor. But I was busy looking at glacial mountains out the window and buying a "Tiger Beat." I am not shitting you. I had a dream that I was going to miss a train because I was buying an issue of "Tiger Beat." I just HAD to have a teeny bopper magazine that I've never read in my actual life, even when I was a 12-year-old crushing on Leonardo DiCaprio and the Backstreet Boys (#tbt).
I don't know, OK?
Most of the time though, when I have nightmares about being late for travel, it's because when I pack, the struggle is real. I mean the packing struggle is real in real life and so in my dreams, I am usually late because I can't decide what I will want to wear and/or cannot get my suitcase shut and everything is terrible. This is how I've learned the hard way to pack light.
So far, I've only had the one "Tiger Beat" nightmare. But you know what? Life is providing PLENTY of real nightmares for us right now as we prep for our U.K. trip.
This might make us sound like amateurs, but Jen discovered on Tuesday that in some countries, your passport is only valid if it is X number of months away from expiring. I had no fucking clue about this. Luckily, that number for Great Britain, Scotland, and Ireland is zero. I knew my passport was expiring this year, so I checked months ago to make sure it wasn't in August or September. It expires November 21.
Not so luckily, that X does not = 0 in Iceland, where as I mentioned, we have a layover. In order to enter Iceland, your passport needs to be three or more months away from expiring. We are leaving August 25, arriving August 26, so that makes me FIVE FUCKING DAYS SHY of the three-month mark. Commence heart palpitations.
I tried to laugh and tell myself (and Jen) that it would all be OK. Our layover in Iceland isn't even two hours (which is stressful in and of itself). There's no way they would hold me up at customs on my way to London just because my VALID passport was less than three months away from expiring, right? RIGHT!?!!>?!>@
I tried to bury my head in the sand as I am wont to do. I told Jen it would be OK. I would try to get a male customs agent, pull the neckline of my shirt down a little bit, and maybe turn on the waterworks if there were any problems.
But we both knew I had to make some calls. First, U.S. passport services. Then, Icelandair. And last but not least, the Iceland embassy in D.C. Which, naturally, was closed because they close at 4 p.m. and it was 4:02.
Needless to say, I was stressed and went home muttering over and over "I hate my life." But then I went to hip hop spin, had a great workout to my jams, and felt infinitely better. Until I checked my phone and saw a link from Jen.
O RLY, ICELAND??!??! What did I ever do to you? Why you gotta be like that? Jen told me she screamed out loud at the gym. I yelled FUCK and stormed out, went home and cooked dinner, and let me tell you, I KILLED that cilantro with a butcher knife.
Luckily, it turns out my passport is good to go. When I spoke to the Iceland embassy Wednesday, they told me it would be fine, and even humored me when I made them write me a note to take through customs with me. The volcano... well. What can you do besides stock up on travel insurance?
Let's just say if I find myself in the office Monday morning, it's not gonna be pretty.
So yeah, this was supposed to be a packing post, but in an effort to not further jinx this trip, I'm just not even going there. Besides, you all know what I wear. Lots of black and gray and maybe a little bit of white. I told Jen this volcano thing is all her fault for packing so early. Hasn't she ever heard of procrastination? Live and die by it, baby.
And I'll tell you what. If this U.K. trip doesn't happen, you better believe I'm scrounging up what refunds I can get and taking my ass to the Caribbean where I will make Jen get a romantic couples massage with me. Which means all the autumn clothes get chucked out of the suitcase, and my new packing list consists of bikinis and seven gallons of sunscreen.
Hopefully (?) that won't happen.
At any rate, I did already have my airplane outfit picked out, and Jen made the graphic prior to Iceland spazzing out. Like Jen, I'm dressing in layers and wearing slip-on boots because they'll be the bulkiest shoes, and this way they won't take up room in my suitcase. My glasses are happening because DID YOU READ ABOUT THE GIRL WHO SLEPT IN HER CONTACTS AND THEN AN AMOEBA ATE HER EYEBALLS? No thank you. A hat because no amount of dry shampoo will protect public eyes from this Jewfro. And of course, stretchy leggings because I will probably end up with a Chex Mix + gummi bear food baby four hours into the flight, and no one wants to sit next to the girl who has to unbutton her pants to get comfortable.
Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for us that Bardarbunga (great name) just takes a giant Pepcid and calls it a day. Or at least waits until after we've landed safely at Heathrow in London.
Til then, I'll be downing Pepcid by the bottle.

About R9B's Cybersecurity Solutions
History of R9B
Founded in 2011, R9B began operations as a cybersecurity training company with a vision of delivering military-grade technology to the private sector. This was in response to the increasingly blurred lines between government and civilian targets. We quickly turned vision into reality with the development of advanced cybersecurity software and services designed to protect global networks from sophisticated threats. In 2013, we introduced the concept of threat HUNTing (HUNT) to commercial markets. Since then, our flagship platform, ORION, has deployed to hunt threats on government and private networks around the world. We strengthen HUNT with expertise in full-cycle Threat Intelligence, Managed Security Services, Managed Detection and Response, Digital Forensics and Incident Response, and Cybersecurity Risk Management.

What does root9B mean?
Root refers to having complete system control. Cyber adversaries regularly attempt togain root access. R9B aims to prevent that. The number 9, combined with the hexadecimal-to-decimal conversion of the letter B, forms 911, a reference to the infamous date in American history. Together, R9B underscores the power and potential danger of cyberattacks and the critical importance of cybersecurity in today's interconnected world.
We are innovators in cybersecurity solutions. The status quo won't find a home here and complacency isn't in our vocabulary. Where other companies promise one-size-fits-all, "foolproof" software solutions, we like to take a step back. We start by recognizing cybersecurity as a human endeavor. While technology forms the basis of action, it is only a tool. Instead of layering technology on top of technology, we "think like the adversary." Every product and service we offer, from cybersecurity risk management to HUNT, takes into account adversary tactics and techniques, learned through decades of observation and strengthened by expert intelligence analysis. Ours is a Human-led, Technology-accelerated approach to cybersecurity; the only way to counter today's threats.

Peru Specialist, Eliana Yoon
"Peru is the land that I am proud to call my home. For many years I have explored this great country - both on my own and as a part of a group. I have traveled across this country - from the bone-dry deserts of the Southern coast to the incredibly-tangled mangrove region in the North; and from the lush rainforests of the Amazon basin to the gleaming glaciers of the Andes. Yet every time I go back, I find that there is so much more to see and do! I always feel the need to share my wonder and amazement at the archaeology sites that my ancestors built and that are still a mystery. Or to experience the rich history at each corner, as well as the abundant life in the Amazonian rain forest, the creativity of its inhabitants, and at each place... the wonderful smiles of the people who are always welcoming and eager to share their knowledge over a warm meal. This is why - for the last 30 years - I have worked in the tourism industry as a guide, a tour leader, a travel planner, and a travel consultant. My goal is that everyone who visits Peru goes back home with the most wonderful memories and beautiful photographs, and also dreams to return. As an insider, I believe I have all the tools required to make any vacation unforgettable."

Every year the AKC puts out a list of the most popular dog breeds, and with 2017 about to wrap up, we thought we'd take a look at which breeds made the cut to become the most highly sought after puppy breeds over the past 12 months. This list only accounts for purebred dogs, but that in no way means that mixes didn't receive a lot of love this year. At PetPlace, all pets are equal.
There are many reasons why one breed becomes more popular than others. From pop culture influences such as movie releases, to who wins Best in Show, a lot goes into making one dog the most popular puppy breed of the year. Starting at number one and working our way down the list, here were the most popular puppy breeds this year.
Labrador Retrievers
What's not to love about Labrador Retrievers. This breed has been the most popular breed of dog for at least the last three years. Labrador Retrievers are friendly, loving, and very playful. The Lab is a sporting breed that is still one of the most popular choices for hunters and farmers to this day. Due to their high intelligence, they also make fantastic assistance and service dogs.
The Labrador Retrievers comes in yellow, black, and brown coat varieties that require very little maintenance. Labs don't make for the greatest guard dogs as they would rather give a suspicious visitor a lick hello as opposed to a growl.
German Shepherd Dogs
German Shepherds first became famous in the 1920s after their rise to fame in the film industry, and ever since that time people have clung to the image of the proud and brave German Shepherd. These powerful dogs make for perfect companions for both families and those in law enforcement. But watch out, these dogs are willful and will need a firm and experienced owner to thrive, so they're probably not the best fit for first-time dog owners.
The German Shepherd can be bred in a multitude of color varieties, with the most common being the black and tan mix. White German Shepherds are becoming increasingly popular, although they are not accepted in show competitions.
Golden Retrievers
The reliable retriever. The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular choices for families and those dwelling in suburban settings. These loveable goofs love the water and have amazing natural retrieving abilities, making them an ideal companion for hunters; while their intelligence has made them ideal candidates for service work.
The Golden Retriever, as the name implies, has a golden coat that can range from pale gold to a deep red. English Cream Golden Retrievers have also made a rise in popularity lately. This class of Golden Retriever is primarily recognized by its ivory coat.
English Bulldogs
Famous for its role as the companion to Mr. John Watson, the English Bulldog is a proud and loyal companion that has a lengthy history throughout the world. This breed was initially bred for ferocity and courage but is now considered to be a devoted and sweet member of the non-sporting group of dogs.
As is common with brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, the English Bulldog can suffer from genetic health problems such as problems breathing and swallowing. Make sure to read up on brachycephalic care before bringing home an English Bulldog.
Large brown eyes, a playful demeanor, and boundless energy, the Beagle is a rambunctious breed wrapped up in a cute little package. But beware, this little puppy can make some big noises. Like most hounds, Beagles have the ability to bay, which is like a louder more abrasive version of a howl.
But once trained, these tiny hunters can be great family companions. With a superb sense of smell and off the charts intelligence, Beagles have also become popular working dogs in police and security settings.
French Bulldogs
The French Bulldog is most likely descended from the English Bulldog, but with his distinctive bat-like ears, and compact little body, this breed is now all its own. This breed is typically energetic and affectionate with its owners but may be standoffish with strangers.
French Bulldogs may be small, but they seem to think of themselves as rather large. Your French Bulldog will quickly set himself up to be your protector and follow you everywhere you go. Frenchies come in a multitude of colors and weigh anything from 17-28 pounds and like their English Bulldog cousins may have genetic health concerns related to their facial structure.

Amazon wants you to think of your Fire tablet as not just a tablet, but a full-fledged Alexa-enabled device -- or more precisely, a slimmed down Echo Show.
It's called Show Mode, and it's available now as a free software update for current-generation Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets. Like the Echo Show, the new mode serves up full-screen visuals to complement voice responses from Alexa. Without touching your tablet, you can ask Alexa to play music and Prime videos, see trending news, the weather report, calendars, camera feeds and more. It's a pretty nifty feature, and owners of those tablets will definitely want to check it out.
If you already have a case with a built-in stand, you can just put your Fire tablet into Show Mode -- you access the feature by swiping down from the top of the tablet to reveal the settings menu -- and pretend your tablet's an Echo Show (the HD 8 has to be plugged into power to use Show Mode but that's not required for the HD 10).
What the new Show Mode Charging Dock does is create a more elegant Show experience. This docking station accessory costs $40 for the HD 8 and $55 for the HD 10 and is only compatible with current models. It includes a cover that magnetically adheres to the dock, fixing your device in place on the angled stand. (UK and Australian pricing is not yet available, but we'll update this when we get it.)
How does it work? Well, the basic, slim case -- it's made of hard plastic -- has a short, integrated Micro-USB charging cable that plugs into the USB port on the bottom of your tablet. To charge your tablet, you set it in the dock -- there are two contact "pogo" pins -- with the magnets in the tablet cover helping to align the back of the tablet cover with the pogo pins in the stand. So while there's a wire from the dock to the wall, for all intents and purposes it's a wireless charging experience.
If you're wondering whether leaving the tablet in the dock for extended periods will damage the battery, it won't, says Kevin Keith, general manager of Amazon Devices. It's also worth mentioning that the dock has no additional microphones to enhance Alexa's listening capabilities.
