Frank Warren expresses his opinion on tonight's fight between Carl Froch and Lucian Bute
In his weekly column with The Sun, promoter Frank Warren talked about tonight's IBF Super Middleweight World Title fight between champion Lucian Bute and challenger Carl Froch. In his column, Warren told us who he thinks will win tonight:
"I expect Froch to again be in a tough fight but I think Bute will have too much for the Brit."
I agree with Warren, Froch will definitely give his all, but Bute's superior speed, power and movement should make him a clear winner.
Warren also talked about Froch's future:
"For Froch, the offer is still there from me for him to face WBO World Light-Heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly."
Carl Froch Vs Nathan Cleverly would be a great fight to watch, and regardless of the outcome tonight, Froch should move up to Light-Heavyweight to fight Cleverly.
Is Warren right? Will Bute be too much for Froch? Could we see Nathan Cleverly Vs Carl Froch in the near-future?

We're all Going to Die – The Festival. Gen Z-something artist and filmmaker Stefan Hunt used poetry to make sense of his anxiety. An impromptu penning of a poem he called 'we're all going to die' bought the realisation that if death was certain, then what did he need to worry about?
"I just want to tell you all that you are all going to die".
The realisation of living-in-the-face-of-dying was cathartic. After walking the 800km Camino Trail in France and Spain he went to the US, bought an ice-cream van and made a short film (of the same name as the festival) as he drove across the country. One thing lead to another and the idea was born to turn the film into a festival.
We're all Going to Die – The Festival last Friday (17 November 2017) attracted some 1,300 attendees who were immersed in art installations, a film festival, eye gazing, death meditation and bedroom dancing.
The festival was funded by crowd-sourcing, led by a to-camera video piece by Stephan who shared both about his anxiety and about his heart for using the festival to connect with others.
"By me being vulnerable and putting my story out there, and being so out there, we started getting messages from people and getting their stories".
Sponsor provided about $30k for the event, and shared their stories. One of the stories was from a 25 year old woman in the UK who wrote about her life after death:
"My boyfriend of 10 years died suddenly and unexpectedly recently, the last few months have been a kick in the guts, everything hurts all the time. It's bought me face to face with my mortality and funnily enough it doesn't scare me one little bit anymore. The thing that scares me is the thought that I'm never going to find love like that again. I'm scared that that type of big, overwhelming love only happens once. The prospect of facing the rest of my life without it terrifies me…I'm scared of being the girl who's boyfriend died, and living the rest of my life as an outsider, watching love from afar and never really feeling it again…I've not really spoken about any of this to anyone and everyone sees me as this beacon of strength at the moment and admitting my fears to anyone, even myself, is so scary. I really love what you are doing and I think it's great. When people talk about their fears and show that tiny, raw piece of vulnerability and get acceptance and compassion in return that can only be a good thing, right? Because that's what we all want, to be accepted for what we are, fears, flaws and all".
Stories like this were part of a cathartic experience for Stephan, which he described as one of the most positive forces in his life.
In part his story is about challenging his fears by challenging himself to create community around death anxiety.
Stephan spoke today at a Creative Mornings event in Redfern.

After our Zombie Apocalypse family session we had a little bit of light left to explore a second location. Serendipitously, we found this retention pond glimmering in the warmth of the setting sun. You can tell by the smiles on their faces that this session ended with a lot of fun.
Zombie Apocalypse Family Session
This family is a blast to photograph. Not only are they fun, but they are creative and simply magnificent in front of the lens.
I mean, look at them! This is ALL them.
They are huge fans of The Walking Dead and wanted a family session reminiscent of the Zombie Apocalypse. As a fan myself, how could I say no?
This was the second installment in #jabonetemonth and the sessions, I swear, just get more and more fun.
And how else would a Zombie Apocalypse session be better wrapped up than with some baby zombie action? Hint: their next session of #jabonetemonth is based on this idea. Didn't I say these guys were fun? ;)

Asked on Oct 6, 2017
I would like to patch my futon which supposedly should be leather
My question is,if i use the Leak Seal and the Finish all on top would that be usable again,I mean we are using the futon and i am afraid it would crack?!
- CecileHon Oct 7, 2017How big is the hole? If it is big enough that you can get a finger in the hole you can go to store that sells leather for craft projects and use a leather glue to fix it. Leather glue is a two application process, you put it on the piece you are gluing onto and the piece you need to fix. Find something approximately the size of the hole and make a slight indentation onto the piece you will glue onto the futon. Using low tack masking tape (painters tape) , cover this area to protect it from getting glue on it. Using an old brush or a cheap craft brush apply the glue around the outside of the edge of the indentation. Carefully lift the area of the futon that has the hole, you may need to use a safety pin to hook under the hole and lift it, apply the glue to the underside (inside) of the leather. Rolling the piece just enough to insert it into the hole (still using a safety pin to hold the hole away from the cushion area but not too far up that you lose the piece you are slipping in) position it under the hole using the cushion to place it against. Align the masking tape with the hole and push the two pieces together. You may want to weigh down the area with a soup can or something with a bit of weight. Peel off the masking tape and you should have a solid patch! Now if you can't find a piece of leather the same colour and the back of the futon is usually against the wall or the underside of the futon mattress is leather you can make a patch that won't be seen by anyone by cutting a piece from one of those areas and using a different piece of leather to fix where you borrowed the piece from. Just a tip, if you have to use it from the back, do it near the bottom edge then patch it, but find a really neat heavy woven webbing that is a classic print like the Greek Key type design and attach it across the whole back along the bottom so it looks like it was suppose to be there all along-no one will know you borrowed the leather from that area and you will have added your own spin on a commercially produced piece of furniture!

ManyThing, the cloud video service that lets you use old iOS devices as smart cameras, reports that thieves have been captured by recordings from iOS devices three times this month.
In one case, thieves who broke into an Oklahoma City home, seemingly targeting Apple products, didn't realise that the iPhone they stole was recording them at the time. Although the thieves took the camera, the footage had already been uploaded to the cloud, allowing the homeowner to pass the footage on to the police. Police are currently trying to identify the thieves.
In two other cases recorded by ManyThing, arrests have already been made. The above video shows a UK thief who was quickly identified by police and arrested.
From the recorded footage the police were able to see exactly what he had picked up and so knew where his fingerprints would be–something that the forensics team were very happy with. Because of the quality of the video the police were also able to ID him in a matter of hours.
The case has now been heard and the thief locked away. Due to the evidence from the video clip, he was advised to plead guilty, meaning the homeowner didn't have to go to court.
The ManyThing app is a free download from iTunes, and cloud recording is also currently free of charge. Once the service goes commercial, you'll still be able to get free recording of the most recent 12 hour period.

Rebel WBBL|04
All the WBBL squads so far
Take a closer look at who's in, who's out and who are the marquee players in this season's Rebel WBBL
Laura Jolly
15 November 2018, 08:00 AM AEST
There's little more than a fortnight remaining until the Rebel WBBL season will begin with a blockbuster opening carnival weekend at Melbourne's Junction Oval.
And as the season approaches, the Women's Big Bash clubs are moving closer to finalising their playing lists ahead of the season start on December 1.
Teams will again feature 15 players, with an allowance of up to five marquee players – a maximum of three coming from overseas – while the definition of an 'Australian player' has changed.
Where previously Australian marquees were players who had played at least 10 limited-overs matches in the three previous years, this season it only refers to players who held a Cricket Australia contract at the beginning of the WBBL|04 contracting period.
This change, combined with the introduction of multi-year contracts in WBBL|03, means the Sydney Sixers will feature seven marquee players this season – but should any of those become unavailable due to injury or international duties, they can only be replaced by a local player.
Below are the current WBBL|04 squads, as they stand on November 15 ahead of the contracting deadline on Friday week.
Adelaide Strikers
Roster spots to fill: seven Marquee players signed: five In: Sarah Coyte (Sixers), Danielle Hazell (ENG) Out: Tammy Beaumont (ENG)
After making the semi-finals of WBBL|03, the Strikers have added two big names to their line-up for the upcoming season, former Australia pace bowler Sarah Coyte and England spinner Danielle Hazell.
Coyte made a brief comeback to cricket last summer – having taken a break from the game after playing the first two seasons for the Strikers – when she filled in for the Sixers at the pointy end of their successful campaign and her two wickets in the semi-final helped end Adelaide's title hopes. But Coyte returns to the Strikers this summer, where she'll form a potent pace attack with Australian superstar Megan Schutt and New Zealand allrounder Sophie Devine.
Hazell, an off-spinner who's played more than 100 games for England across all formats, has previously appeared for the Stars in the WBBL and adds another dimension to Adelaide's spin stocks, which already features leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington.
With all marquee spots assigned, big-hitting England opener Tammy Beaumont won't return, but the inclusion of Hazell adds to an already enviable roster of internationals with the likes of Schutt, Wellington, Devine and Suzie Bates.
Current squad: Suzie Bates (NZ), Sarah Coyte, Sophie Devine (NZ), Danielle Hazell (ENG), Tahlia McGrath, Bridget Patterson, Megan Schutt (AUS), Amanda-Jade Wellington (AUS).
Brisbane Heat
Roster spots to fill: four Marquee players signed: four In: Sune Luus (SA) Out: Holly Ferling (Stars)
There'll be a distinctly South African flavour to the Heat this summer with teenage batter Laura Wolvaardt returning – and this time she's brought experienced allrounder Sune Luus with her.
Luus, a leg-spinner who also adds flair with the bat, is making her maiden appearance in the WBBL and adds some extra star-power to Brisbane's list of marquee players, which also includes Australian stars Jess Jonassen and Beth Mooney.
Recalled Australian allrounder Delissa Kimmince, who earned her first Australian contract since 2015 in April, doesn't count as a marquee player this season given her relatively recent return to international cricket, meaning the Heat have one international spot available and they'll no doubt be keeping a close eye on the ongoing Women's World T20 as they hunt one final big-name player.
The Heat have parted ways with fast bowler Holly Ferling, who has headed south to join Melbourne Stars, but they've kept the bulk of their squad intact with experienced players including Jemma Barsby, Grace Harris and Kirby Short all returning.
Current squad: Jemma Barsby, Haidee Birkett, Josie Dooley, Grace Harris, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Jess Jonassen (AUS), Delissa Kimmince, Sune Luus (SA), Beth Mooney (AUS), Georgia Prestwidge, Kirby Short, Laura Wolvaardt (SA).
Hobart Hurricanes
Roster spots to fill: five Marquee players signed: two In: Heather Knight (England) Out: TBA
After a disappointing WBBL|03 campaign that yielded just two wins from 14 matches, the Hurricanes have a new coach for the upcoming summer having lured highly regarded England mentor Salli-Ann Briggs to Tasmanian cricket.
The new coach has taken her time assessing her list and while key players including Corinne Gall, Georgia Redmayne and Brooke Hepburn are all locked in for WBBL|04, the Hurricanes have now turned their attention to locking in key internationals.
Exciting Windies allrounder Hayley Matthews will once again return to Hobart, while England captain Heather Knight will also don the purple having represented the Hurricanes back in WBBL|02.
With the Australian marquee players all signed elsewhere, Hobart will only field three internationals this summer. However, they have promising up-and-comer Erin Fazackerley in their ranks, with the pace-bowling allrounder fresh off a winter spent training with the National Performance Squad in Brisbane.
Current squad: Stefanie Daffara, Erin Fazackerley, Katelyn Fryett, Corinne Hall, Brooke Hepburn, Heather Knight (ENG), Hayley Matthews (WI), Meg Phillips, Veronica Pyke, Georgia Redmayne.
Melbourne Renegades
Roster spots to fill: one Marquee players signed: three In: Erica Kershaw, Anna Lanning (Stars), Courtney Webb, Danni Wyatt (England). Out: Hayley Jensen (NZ), Chamari Atapattu (SL), Kris Britt (retired).
The Renegades fell just short of a maiden WBBL finals appearance last season but they boast arguably one of the most promising lists, with their original investment in talented youth beginning to pay dividends.
Allrounder Sophie Molineux, leg-spinner Georgia Wareham and quick Tayla Vlaeminck have all made their Australian debuts this year – but handily for the Renegades, the trio don't yet count as marquee players.
They've also secured the signature of in-form England star Danielle Wyatt, who returns to the red after a season out of the WBBL. She joins New Zealand captain Amy Satterthwaite and quick Lea Tahuhu to round out the Renegades' international contingent.
But the top-level experience doesn't end there – the Renegades also have former Australia batter Jess Cameron at their disposal, alongside Australia A skipper Molly Strano and up-and-coming pace bowler Maitlan Brown.
Joining the Renegades is Anna Lanning, sister of Australian captain Meg, who has moved across from Melbourne Stars, but it seems unlikely New Zealand allrounder Hayley Jensen will return, with her return to international cricket this year meaning she can no longer play as a local.
Current squad: Maitlan Brown, Jess Duffin, Emma Inglis, Erica Kershaw, Claire Koski, Anna Lanning, Sophie Molineux, Amy Satterthwaite (NZ), Molly Strano, Lea Tahuhu (NZ), Tayla Vlaeminck, Georgia Wareham, Courtney Webb, Danni Wyatt (ENG).
Melbourne Stars
Roster spots to fill: three Marquee players signed: four In: Holly Ferling (Heat) Out: Emma Kearney (AFLW), Anna Lanning (Renegades), Gemma Triscari (retired)
Consistency is key for the Stars, who've maintained their roster of marquee players from WBBL|03 with South Africans Lizelle Lee and Mignon du Preez and England's Georgia Elwiss all returning.
They've also bolstered their pace stocks with the inclusion of Holly Ferling from the Heat, while the Stars will also hope captain Kristen Beams can return from an achilles injury in time for the season start.
Ferling adds some pace to the Stars attack, where she'll join teenage speedster Annabel Sutherland, but they have bid farewell to Emma Kearney – who has switched her full-time focus to Australian Rules football – and Anna Lanning, who has moved to cross-town rivals the Renegades.
Current squad: Kristen Beams (AUS), Mackinlay Blows, Mignon du Preez (SA), Georgia Elwiss (ENG), Nicole Faltum, Holly Ferling, Alana King, Lizelle Lee (SA), Katie Mack, Erin Osborne, Chloe Rafferty, Annabel Sutherland.
Perth Scorchers
Roster spots to fill: three Marquee players signed: three In: TBA Out: TBA
It's been a long, long time coming but Scorchers fans, get excited: Meg Lanning is back, she's fit, she's firing and she'll be wearing orange this summer.
Lanning signed with Perth last year, when she was already ruled out of the summer due to shoulder surgery. But this year, she forms a potent batting line-up alongside international teammates Nicole Bolton and Elyse Villani.
The Scorchers still have three roster spots to fill, including room for two internationals, so expect more signing news to come from Perth in the next week.
But otherwise the WBBL|03 runners-up present a consistent group.
They will benefit from the continued improvements of core squad members Heather Graham, Piepa Cleary and Chloe Piparo; the trio were part of Australia A's tour of India this month, while Graham and Cleary also spent the winter training with the NPS squad in Brisbane.
Current squad: Megan Banting, Nicole Bolton (AUS), Mathilda Carmichael, Piepa Cleary, Lauren Ebsary, Heather Graham, Emma King, Meg Lanning (AUS), Taneale Peschel, Chloe Piparo, Emily Smith, Elyse Villani (AUS).
Sydney Sixers
Roster spots to fill: two Marquee players signed: seven In: Stella Campbell, Hayley Silver-Holmes Out: Sarah Coyte (Strikers)
The back-to-back Big Bash champions have been a force to be reckoned with across the last two summers and it seems highly likely that trend will continue.
They boast a total of seven marquee players this summer; the change in rules regarding marquee players this year means the Sixers are over the cap of five, but they had already signed their players when the rule was changed so have been permitted to keep all seven on their roster. However, should any of these players sustain an injury or be called away on international duty, they can only be replaced by a local.
Credit must go to the Sixers for building such an imposing list; original Australian marquee players Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry have been joined by rising stars Ashleigh Gardner and Lauren Cheatle, while overseas stars Marizanne Kapp, Dane van Niekerk and Sara McGlashan round out an impressive roster.
Those big names are joined by one of the competition's most consistent pace bowlers in veteran Sarah Aley, skilful allrounder Erin Burns and off-spinner Lauren Smith.
And they've looked to the future with their two recruits, adding Australia Under-19 representatives Stella Campbell and Hayley Silver-Holmes to their ranks.
Current squad: Sarah Aley, Erin Burns, Stella Campbell, Lauren Cheatle (AUS), Ashleigh Gardner (AUS), Alyssa Healy (AUS), Marizanne Kapp (SA), Carly Leeson, Sara McGlashan (NZ), Ellyse Perry (AUS), Hayley Silver-Holmes, Lauren Smith, Dane van Niekerk (SA).
Sydney Thunder
Roster spots to fill: four Marquee players signed: four In: Saskia Horley Out: TBA
The WBBL|01 champions have retained the bulk of their squad after making the semi-finals last summer.
India T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor join Alex Blackwell and Rachael Haynes to fill four of the Thunder's five marquee spots, leaving one space yet to be confirmed.
They've added just one player at present, signing teenager Saskia Horley after an impressive winter that saw the left-arm spinner represent Australia's Under-19s in South Africa before training with the NPS in Brisbane.
Current squad: Sam Bates, Alex Blackwell (AUS), Nicola Carey, Rene Farrell, Maisy Gibson, Rachael Haynes (AUS), Saskia Horley, Harmanpreet Kaur (IND), Stafanie Taylor (WI), Rachel Trenaman, Belinda Vakarewa.

From Andrew Sullivan I learn this morning that the mommy porn fan-fiction novel Fifty Shades of Grey has sold 10 million copies in six weeks — and is now going to be a major motion picture. What's the book about? It's a badly written (as the reviews universally say) erotic fantasy about a woman who gets sexually involved with a man who introduces her to the world of bondage/domination/sadism/masochism (BDSM) — in other words, taking sexual pleasure in the giving and/or receiving of physical pain and emotional violence.
Sick stuff. But according to Katie Roiphe in Newsweek, Fifty Shades may be a popular phenomenon, but its fans are concentrated among a certain demographic:
As it happens, the prevailing stereotype of the Fifty Shades of Grey reader, distilled in the condescending term "mommy porn," as an older, suburban, possibly Midwestern woman isn't entirely accurate: according to the publisher's data, gleaned from Facebook, Google searches, and fan sites, more than half the women reading the book are in their 20s and 30s, and far more urban and blue state than the rampant caricature of them suggests.
The current vogue for domination is not confined to surreptitious iPad reading: in Lena Dunham's acclaimed new series, Girls, about 20-somethings adrift in New York City, a similar desire for sexual submission has already emerged as a theme. The heroine's pale hipsterish ersatz boyfriend jokes, "You modern career women, I know what you like …" and his idea, however awkwardly enacted, is that they like to be dominated. He says things like "You should never be anyone's … slave, except mine," and calls down from a window: "If you come up I'm going to tie you up and keep you here for three days. I'm just in that kind of mood." She comes back from seeing him with bruises and sheepishly tells her gay college boyfriend at a bar, "I am seeing this guy and sometimes I let him hit me on the side of my body."
Her close friend and roommate, meanwhile, has a sweet, sensitive, respectful boyfriend in the new mold who asks her what she wants in bed, and she is bored out of her mind and irritated by him; she fantasizes instead about an arrogant artist she meets at the gallery where she works, who tells her that he will scare her in bed. So nice postfeminist boys are not what these ambitious, liberal-arts-educated girls are looking for either: they are also, in their exquisitely ironic, confused way, in the market for a little creative submission.
More from Roiphe:
Recently on talk shows there has been a certain amount of upstanding feminist tsk-tsking about the retrograde soft-core exploitation of women in Fifty Shades of Grey, and there seem to be no shortage of liberal pundits asking, "Is this what they went to the barricades for?" But of course the barricades have always been oddly irrelevant to intimate life. As the brilliant feminist thinker Simone de Beauvoir answered when someone asked her if her subjugation to Jean-Paul Sartre in her personal life was at odds with her feminist theories: "Well, I just don't give a damn … I'm sorry to disappoint all the feminists, but you can say it's too bad so many of them live only in theory instead of in real life."
In her controversial and revealing meditation on her own obsession with spanking in the New Yorker, Daphne Merkin speculated about the tension between her identity as a "formidable" woman and her yearning for a sexualized childish punishment. She writes, "Equality between men and women, or even the pretext of it, takes a lot of work and may not in any case be the surest route to sexual excitement."
It is perhaps inconvenient for feminism that the erotic imagination does not submit to politics, or even changing demographic realities; it doesn't care about The End of Men or peruse feminist blogs in its spare time; it doesn't remember the hard work and dedication of the suffragettes and assorted other picket-sign wavers. The incandescent fantasy of being dominated or overcome by a man shows no sign of vanishing with equal pay for equal work, and may in fact gain in intensity and take new, inventive—or in the case of Fifty Shades of Grey, not so inventive—forms.
BDSM is deeply perverted, but it's nothing new. There is no improving, if that is the word, on anything the disgusting Marquis de Sade wrote in the 18th century. As Roiphe avers, there is something in the human psyche that responds to this stuff. The erotic imagination wants what it wants, and no ideological scheme imposed by the Church or the Women's Studies Department is ever going to eradicate it. That said, we can cultivate our desires, learning to suppress the disordered ones (and I would suggest that taking pleasure in the giving or receiving of pain is highly disordered), and to encourage those that are life-giving. Some women undeniably get a cheap thrill out of Fifty Shades of Grey, just as some men enjoy BDSM porn, but the point of civilization is to repress the barbarian within. That a book like this — one that is widely denounced as artless — has become so popular among American women is not a sign of progress, but of its opposite.

That wil make the sim a No-Boring one! Make a mix between Euro Truck (countinous boring experience) and Bus Driver (only missions) to make an infinite long game but with some exiting missions inside your every day work in game!! Also will be fine to drive in a city picking passangers and leaving them in the destiny of their will. Also :) will be great to drive some articulated buses of 2 or 3 vagons in a realistic city with different stations inside the city. What do you think about use real voices in the game (like FSX)? I'm sure that you guys are able to join all these things and made a great and incredibly succesfull game, better for much than Euro Truck 2.

You can make of Euro Coach a really exiting, REAL LiFE and realistic game!! Thanks for your hard work! I wil buy Euro Coach just when it come to market. And will share the news with my friends if it convinces me ;) sorry for my English, regards from Bogotá, firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312211309223803137.post-62495698450717649152013-04-17T14:42:35.901+02:002013-04-17T14:42:35.901+02:00NÃO É O PC MEUS CUNHADO TEM UM PC COREI7 3.4 NOVO ...NÃO É O PC

So, we decided to take a last-second trip after watching an inspiring TED talk. The speaker passed on great advice that I would now love to pass on to you. "You owe it to yourself to see Totality at least once in your life before you die!" For our local friends, you won't have to leave home in 2024 to witness it. For those not local to San Antonio, come on down and join the party!
When I came back to work yesterday everyone kept asking "How was the eclipse? Was it worth it?" Hell, yes! It was absolutely worth it and if I could, I would love to spend the rest of my life chasing them all across the globe.
Charles, Mariana, Anne and I packed up the car Saturday night with plans on leaving the house at 4am. It was a little over a 12-hour drive to St. Joseph without stops, (although more like 16 hours with this crew). We were lucky enough to have purchased the last of 700 camping spaces at Rosecrans Memorial Airport. I figured that staying at the airport overnight where another 40,000 would join us the day of the eclipse would help us avoid the rush into the area.
We made it to Kansas City around 14 hours after we left Texas and stopped to check out a local Barbecue and Blues place called B.B.'s Lawnside BBQ, that Charles really wanted to try out. Charles was so in love with KC. He told us all about how great the city was and gave many examples why, this was all before he had ever been. When we pulled up to the restaurant, the place was packed. Once we got inside it wasn't hard to see why. The BBQ smelled delicious and I have to trust Charles when he says the ribs were the best he has ever had. There was a local blues band playing while we waited for our to-go order and they were fantastic. The atmosphere of this place was just amazing! I loved thinking of all the old blues artists that had played in that very spot, music is life guys.
It ended up taking up about 16 hours to get to "St. Jo" after all of the stops. Charles was so thrilled to stop in Oklahoma once he saw there was a Whataburger off an exit… nothing tests a friendship like being in the car with someone for 16 hours straight. Mariana basically slept the entire way there, she's younger so she can sleep folded up for longer periods of time (this trip has made me realize I'm getting older). We seriously stopped more for food than we did for gas or restroom breaks. We also made sure to get pictures each time we passed a state line. Take a look at our adventures page for all the photos we took along the way.
The camping area at the airport was located in a huge field… it felt like we had to drive 20 minutes in before we got to the designated area. Once we got into the tent area and debated on the correct way to park, we began to setup our site. Charles had his own tent and the us girls shared a tent. This is the part where I should let you know that my wife is NOT a camper. I went out a few days before and got a huge queen air mattress so she wouldn't wake up on the ground. After our tent was situated with our inflatable bed, up we noticed that we were unprepared compared to those around us. People had entire kitchens and lawn games and footballs. We had a tent. In preparation for our trip I kept telling myself "it's just one night". I think that mindset made me forget some essential things like a fan, (even though Anne specifically requested central cooling), a light, and drinks! Eventually, Charles and Mariana left and made about 467 stops to track down some of these things. Unfortunately, by the time they got back I was ready for bed. It was great to sleep under the stars, there was very little light since we were in the middle of nowhere so they were shining bight for us.
We woke up the next knowing that there was a small chance for rain and an even bigger chance of heavy cloud coverage that would block the sun. Our fellow neighbors were discussing packing up and driving 2 hours west where the cloud coverage wasn't so bad. After walking around and running into some local astronomers we decided to chance it and stay put. Food trucks were out serving breakfast for all the campers, which was good because I just so happened to forget the 3 boxes of uncrustables Anne had bought for this trip. (Yeah- I know. No central cooling, no uncrustables… no "happy wife, happy life" here. Lol. More cars started rolling in around 8:00am to get a good parking spot. Vendors also showed up to sell shirts and I was even able to get a local new paper with a galactic headline!
Anne and Charles attempted to work for a few hours by charging phones and laptops in the car… I don't think they were very successful. It was around 11:40 am when it was finally time for the eclipse to start. We heard the first cheers as the moon started to cross in front of the sun. At this moment, it was all worth it… all the stops on the way, the struggles with camping in the heat and stress of not being able to work remote... that all faded away " We made it guys!"
Our excitement lasted for about 45 minutes or so before I noticed the big storm clouds quickly moving over us. I packed up my chair and not even 5 minutes later the rain started. This was not just a light sprinkle but a huge downpour. With the rain, the sun was gone and the eclipse was out of view. The four of us took cover in the car and watched as everyone around us started to leave. Looking outside the clouds were so thick and there wasn't a break in sight. "It's your call…" Anne said as she looked at me, displeased, from the backseat. We just drove 16 hours and I wasn't leaving. Totality would happen rain or not.
Watching the clock move closer to 1:06pm (the time of Totality) and hearing the rain beating down was so discouraging. Then at about 12:55pm I looked to my left (I'm not good with directions) and I saw a break in the clouds… a small hole with some light shining though. I jumped out of the car around the same time as the others who decided to stay, did. The rain stopped and everyone cheered, we looked up and there it was. We had missed most of the eclipse but mother nature decided to give us a break and let us see the last few minutes of it before Totality and man was it beautiful.
I immediately began to cry…. it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life, besides my wife of course. The clouds form the rain added an extra effect to the sky, the "ring" around the sun was breathtaking, literally. About 2 minutes before Totality the temperature began to drop, slowly it started to get darker, as if someone had a dimmer for the world. At this point I'm still crying and cheering all at the same time, everyone around us is cheering and clapping. Behind us was a multicolored sunset, and then darkness. Like the calm before the storm it felt quiet. I remember it being silent, although when I watch the video Anne took I am clearly yelling "WOOOOOOO!!" The darkness lasted for 2 minutes and 38 seconds and just as it did before, it was if someone turned up the dimmer and slowly the light came back. After this the rain was gone the clouds still loomed. I had a smile on my face that could not be wiped off, I couldn't believe it all worked out. It was like the rain was needed to make it more special so that I would appreciate the beauty that much more.
Shortly after it was over, we headed home. We all had to be back at work on Tuesday morning and still had that dreaded 12-hour drive ahead of us. We ended up taking less stops on the way home since we all took turns sleeping. At 5:00am we made it to the house, unpacked and all went on our way. Mariana had to be in the earliest at 7am, she was the official MVP of the Eclipse 2017 Road Trip. Congrats kid, you earned it!
I am now addicted and want to see this as often as I can. The next Totality event is in Chili in 2019. I am working on convincing Anne to go. I hope you all enjoyed the eclipse from wherever you were in the world. It was something that has changed me and something I'll cherish forever. Our next adventure will be Friday when we travel to Houston to see Coldplay, we waited close to a year for this concert!
Oh, and as for Anne, if you ask her what she thought of the eclipse she will nonchalantly reply, "it was cool". (How could she?!)
May the force be with you,
**Picture credit for this post goes to my amazing wife who was snapping away while I was crying my eyes out.

Overwhelm is the #1 reason I've seen law firms not have a strategic plan, or even think about developing a strategic plan. They don't know where to start, so they don't start at all.
Measure What Matters
When to Outsource Your Accounting
Guess what gets pushed to the back? Accounting.
I see this a lot in business. The owner thinks "I'll get to that later", but there always seems to be something more important. Some immediate fire to put out. After a while it becomes a bigger project than you have time for so you continue to ignore it until it's tax time or your banker needs a financial statement.
How to Grow a Business Worth Selling
Many small business owners see their business as a retirement plan. If that's the case for you then you need to start thinking about how to get the most when selling your business.
These are ideas and strategies that need to be in place long before you're ready to sell. A buyer will want to see at least the last 3 years of financials.
Focus On What Matters
Growth is enhanced by focus. Often business owners will focus on many things at a time and then feel as if they are accomplishing very little. If you will focus on ONE issue at a time you will have more traction in your business, which will cause change and spur growth.
Here's how to immediately see progress:
The One Thing That Can Make You More Profitable
There is one thing that separates your business model from a well-oiled machine. No, it's not marketing, or branding, or a dynamite product, or even customer service.
It's one simple thing. Processes. More importantly, written processes.
If you want to…. Hire Grow Add new locations Scale Add Investors Sell your business
You need written processes.
Strategies to Grow Your Business
Growth can come in many different forms (even in pruning… more on that another day). If you're planning to grow your business this year you need to get very clear on the HOW. How are you going to grow? That can be the overwhelming part, so let's simplify it! There are three easy growth areas to consider.
Volume - Increase the number of sales you make Volume is all about the quantity. You want to sell more of the thing you already do. This strategy usually involves acquiring new customers which can be costly because it requires more spending in marketing and getting new customers in the door. Be sure you are creating lasting customers and not one time customers.
Price - Increase the price of your service If you want to increase your prices you need to be sure that your value aligns with the price increase. The value you deliver should out weigh your price. This results in delighted customers! If you're not comfortable with a direct price increase think about how you could add value, then increase the value and the price. Is there a way to enhance the customer experience (this is golden)?
Services - Increase the number of services you offer Adding new services is a great way to increase sales. Figuring out what to add can be simple, but many businesses don't do it. What is this simple step? ASK. Simply ask your current customers what else you can help them with. What are their biggest frustrations? Now figure out how to solve their frustrations.
These three strategies can be used alone or together. But remember, Focus is key. Depending on your size, your team, and your goals, you should only focus on one to two things at a time. Focus is what gets work done!
What are you going to do to grow your business this year?
If you'd like to grow your business but you're not real sure where to start, contact us for a free consultation, and we'll see how we can help you reach your goals.
Growth Cost Money- Avoid the Unexpected
I was recently talking with a client who is at the end of year 1 of his 3 year growth plan. We were recapping with an After Action Review (a report of what worked and what didn't), and I was surprised by some of his comments. Although, in the beginning of year one he created a written plan for growing his business, he never thought about the additional costs he would have to support that growth.
Fortunately for him, he had savings socked away so he didn't have any hiccups in his plan. But without that savings his growth plan could have been a flop.
So what costs can increase when you're growing your business...
If You're Adding New Services- Many times a business will grow by adding new services. This requires an investment in education, new processes, and marketing for the new service. Learning will not only cost money but time as well. Be sure you have planned for both!
If You're Hiring- Many times if you are increasing your business volume you will also need to hire. You'll need to budget for the increased salary as well as payroll taxes, benefits, paid time-off, and workers comp insurance.
If You're Increasing Sales- If your growth is coming from increased sales you will probably need to increase your marketing budget. This will involve time and money. Will you outsource this or do it in-house? Are you growing online or in a new region? Aligning your marketing needs with a marketing budget will help you plan accordingly.
If You're Increasing Production- If you're developing new products, or producing more products, you'll not only need to invest in more equipment but you'll also need more raw materials on hand. This could also lead to hiring, and increased marketing, which increases your upfront costs.
If You're Adding Locations- If you are scaling your business by opening new locations you need to be aware of not only the upfront costs to open a location but also the ongoing costs. When adding locations you need to be focused on process development and improvement above all else. Clear and concise processes are the only way you can get your business to run without you there… and isn't that the ultimate goal?
It's important to not only understand these costs but to also have them at the forefront of your growth plan. Failing to plan for these extra costs can be detrimental to your business if you don't factor them in.

Growth Companies: 4 Numbers You Need to Know
Service-based business owners have no problem focusing on new customers and serving current customers. But many don't know how to take their business to the next level. If you're looking to grow your business, you must pay close attention to your financials and key metrics. Key metrics are financial numbers that you need to hit in order to reach your overall goals. When planning with clients I always tie a goal to a metric or target. How else will you know you achieved the goal?
Here is a list of 4 key metrics that are important to track in your service-based business.
Sales Close Ratio. You get this number by dividing the number of sales proposals made by the number of proposals you closed. This tells you the percentage of proposals you win. Obviously, you want this number to be high, but not too high. Chances are if you're closing 90%-100% of proposals you make, you are walking away from money on the table.
Project Margin. This metric measures the profit you will make on each project you undertake. It is the percentage of project revenue - direct costs you will pay to complete the project. The higher the number the better!
Profit margin metrics will help you with making profitable proposals and driving overall profits. I recommend determining your lowest acceptable project margin. Then, when you are giving new proposals be sure to never go below your minimum.
Monthly Operating Expenses. Your operating expenses are the expenses you have every single month. Why should you know this number? Because this is what you will have to spend each month just to keep the doors open. You'll spend this even if you have zero collections. I suggest taking your annual operating expenses and dividing by 12. This gives you a monthly average.
You can also use this number as a target for how much you should have in savings. In an ideal world having 3 to 5 months cash set aside would be sufficient. In reality, it takes dedication and time to get that built up.
Billable Utilization. This rate will help you track productivity. On an annual basis you'll divide the employee's total billable hours by 2,000 hours. This gives you each employee's productivity. You should monitor this to determine if you have space to add more client work or if it's time to add more employees.
However, I don't think this number should be monitored by itself. An employee can have a low utilization rate but it's out of their control. You must also look at overall profit, prospects in the pipeline, and marketing budgets.
Why are these numbers important for growth? Because growth cost money! Your business goals must be aligned with your resources (time, money, and energy) or you're setting yourself up for failure.
If you're struggling to monitor and track your financial information, contact us and we can schedule a free consultation to see if we can help get you on track.
3 Reasons Your Business is Not Growing
This was the year! The year you wanted to grow your business. However, you're just not seeing the results. You started the year out strong with high hopes but quickly got busy in the day to day activities. Being busy turns into exhaustion and before you know it you're burned out. Then the last thing you want to do is think about growing a business you're burned out in. Unfortunately, this is pretty common for business owners. Several (aka: a million) things went wrong in the business growth.
Here's the top 3 reasons I see for a business not growing:
No Clear Plan. When growing a business you should have a clear, concise, and communicated plan in place. And not just an annual plan. You need a plan that is broken down into quarters, then into months, and then into days. Yes, I said DAYS! You and your team should know what needs to be done each day to move you one step closer to the target.
Competing on Price. Unless you happen to be Wal-Mart, you should NOT be competing on price. Wanna know why? Because Wal-Mart will win on price every time. EVERY TIME. Competing on price is a race to the bottom. If you offer a low price this week, next week the guy down the street will go lower, then the following week you'll go lower, and so on. Before you know it you'll be wondering why you're not making a profit.
Shiny Object Syndrome. So you did happen to have a written plan for growing then... SQUIRREL! Letting yourself get distracted by the latest and greatest will stall growth. I know new technology is fun or a new business opportunity sounds terrific, but if you constantly get derailed and can't stick to a plan already in place, you won't be able to grow your business. Strategy is about what you need to say NO to.
So do any of the above reasons sound familiar? If so, don't beat yourself up over it. Recognize the issues, make a plan, and move forward. Make today the day you start growing!

Still, the employment gap—that's the difference in employment rates between typical employees and those with disabilities—is still wider than it was in 2008, when the Great Recession began, according to a study from the University of New Hampshire. Where does Utah fit in all of this? We rank third in the nation for employment rates among people with disabilities, according to the same study.
