Vivienne Westwood's son is set to send up to £10 million worth of Sex Pistol's memorabilia into a ball of flames this afternoon.
Joe Corre said he will destroy records, clothing and other collectibles from the punk band in a protest against the music scene's appropriation by the mainstream.
Corre, who is also the son of the punk band's manager Malcolm McLaren, will livestream the event on the 40th anniversary of the release of the band's debut single Anarchy in the UK.
Corre, who launched lingerie company Agent Provocateur , will be joined by his mum at one of three set locations which had to be changed at the last minute today after protests.
Extra security has been drafted in after reports spread that ageing punk rockers plan to sabotage Corre's plans.

He said: "I've been wondering for a long time what to do with it all and I think this is the right opportunity to say 'You know what, punk is dead.
"Stop conning a younger generation that it somehow has any currency to deal with the issues that they face.
"It is not. It's dead and it's time to think about something else."
Britain has organised a series of events to mark 40 years of punk under the banner Punk London – an official celebration that has angered many veterans of the anti-establishment musical and cultural explosion.
The collection, which includes rare recordings, posters and clothes sewn by his designer mother, is valued between £5 and £10million, said Corre.
That includes Johnny Rotten's trousers and poster and artifacts that were "never allowed to be sold or never made it to the shops."
Corre has posted images on his Twitter of items he claims have or will be burnt – including an original 8inch acetate of anarchy in the UK, that was on Ebay for £65,000.
He also posted images of a Red Tartan bondage jacket worn by his mother, a Venus" leather sleeveless top, a Marx shirt and a "No One Is Innocent" Glove.

He has already filmed himself burning his one of a kind acetate of Anarchy In The UK and claims he started destroying the collection a few weeks ago.
Sex Pistols lead singer, John Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten, has criticised Corre, telling British media he should sell the memorabilia and donate the funds to charity.
Howeve,r "I dont thnk hes had anything relveant to say for the last 10-20 years."
Asked why he had not taken that action, Corre said: "Who is evetually going to buy it? … It would end up going on some banker's wall. That's who'd buy it and that wouldn't satisfy me very much.
(Photo: Birmingham Mail)
"I think the die-hard fans are confused and they don't interest me at all.
"Why would I give it to them? They are just conformists in another uniform."
He said 80% of the proceeds from the a documentary about the burning will go towards "London youth in part but also climate change and environmental issues."
Guitarist Glen Matlock also condemned Corre's action, telling Sky News today he thought Corre's actions were "dopey" and said he had "no right" to talk about the movement.

He said: "First off, I don't think there's £5million worth of stuff there.
"Punk is something that means lots of thing to lots of different people… but I think it should be something more of a question of attitude."
"Things like Joe's doing remind people of the past and stop people from moving on.
"He's a very mixed-up kid."
(Photo: WENN)
He then mentioned the Nazis the burning of the books in a seeming comparison between the two.
However, in a previous interview Corre said that he believed his late father would have approved.
"I think he'd think it was kind of hilarious," he said.
Corre said he would keep a few items of sentimental value, including clothing he helped his mother sew as a boy.

Lisa Appleton struggles to keep her diamante-encrusted bikini under control as she splashes about in the sea
The former Big Brother contestant has escaped the snow in favour of sunny Spain
LISA Appleton might be less than two years shy of turning fifty - but she sure isn't shy when it comes to showing off her curves.
The 48-year-old former Big Brother contestant put on something of a performance while in Spain on Wednesday.
Taking to the beach in a dazzling sequined bikini, Lisa splashed in the waves and soaked in some sunshine.
The reality babe appeared to be enjoying herself as she traversed the shoreline, with her diamante swimming costume being delicately complimented with subtle accessories including a silver necklace and red bracelet.
But disaster almost struck for Lisa as the waves grew wild and her breasts almost burst from her bikini top.
Keeping herself in order, the BB star laughed heartily as she then skipped back to the safety of the sand.
Lisa's winter break comes as Britain shivers during the current cold spell that is causing havoc across the nation.
Taking to Twitter, Lisa expressed her shock at the scenes of road closures and snowy panic that have filled sites and social media in the past 24 hours - while also explaining how pleased she is to have dodged the weather in Spain.
'My word just seen all the blizzard pics about uk weather horrendous, stay safe everyone!' the brunette babe wrote on the social media site.
'I'm lapping it up in Spain but feel it for you all,' she added teasingly.
On Tuesday fans were given an up close look at how Lisa keeps herself - and her curves - in incredible shape.
The star took to an outdoor gym to engage in some rowing exercises, pull ups, and push ups as she worked up a sweat on a cold January night.

Naturally, Lisa ensured she didn't overheat too much by wearing hardly any clothes - with her feet covered more than any other part of her body as she paired her bra and knickers outfit with a pair of Ugg boots.

DIAG submitted 100 weapons in Nangarhar
DIAG submitted 100 weapons in Nangarhar
JALALABAD (Pajhwok): National Directorate of Security (NDS) personnel in eastern Nangarhar province on Wednesday handed over about 100 different light and heavy weapons to the Disarmament of Illegal Armed Groups (DIAG) officials.
Officials said the weapons had been confiscated over the past three months during operations and would be taken to the Ministry of Defense's weapon repair center in Kabul.
Nangarhar governor's spokesman Attaullah Khogyani said the NDS operatives had confiscated the weapons from Daesh and Taliban militants and formally handed the arms over to DIAG officials on Wednesday.
He said the weapons included 72 Kalashnikovs and other arms which were confiscated during the past three months.
DIAG chief for the east, Ghulam Hussain Sahibzada, said the weapons delivered to DIAG officials would be taken to the MoD repair center and then distributed to local police and uprising forces.
He said so far 720 weapons confiscated in Laghman, Kunar and Nangarhar provinces this year had been submitted to DIAG program.

Hi Lorna,
I booked yesterday so it's great to see that I'll have some company! I've been wanting to go to Cuba for years now so I'm really looking forward to the trip. Have you travelled with Exodus before?
hi danielle
Its nice to hear from someone else travelling. This is my first exodus tour, how about you ?
Yes, it the first one for me, too. I did a bit of research into Cuba holidays and this one looked like the best. I particularly liked the relaxed element to it! Will you be flying from London? I live in south London so will be going from Gatwick.
I will be flying from Gatwick as well . I live in Dublin so i will probably travel over to London a couple of days before my flight
Hi Lorna
If you need somewhere to stay in London then you're welcome to stay with me. I don't have a spare bedroom but can turn the lounge into one. Otherwise, let's swap numbers, maybe we can meet for a coffee at the airport and say hello...
Thats very nice of you to offer but im staying with friends when im in london. Meeting up before the flight sounds good, my email is [email protected], why dont you email me through that and we can sort something out.

Rose Marie Bravo
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (October 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Rose Marie Bravo (born January 13, 1951 in the Bronx, New York)[1] is an American businesswoman. During her career, she has occupied leadership positions in several major fashion businesses and is now vice chairman at Burberry, of which she was CEO from 1997 to 2005.
Bravo, whose Italian-born father owned a hairdressing business in the New York Bronx, attended the elite public Bronx High School of Science and went on to study English literature at Fordham University.[2] She graduated cum laude and joined Abraham and Straus' department store at Long Island as a buyer in 1971. In 1974, she was recruited by Macy's. When her company bought I. Magnin she continued to work there until the bankrupt of Macy's in 1992. After five more years as President and Chief Merchant of Saks Fifth Avenue, Burberry chose to appoint her as a chief executive.
In her new job she initiated a radical reform of the British classic brand and improvements of the company structure. Her strategy included signing top model Kate Moss and recruiting the young designer Christopher Bailey (fashion designer) in 2001, who was working for Gucci at that time.[3] The Burberry line of products was greatly increased and especially the newly added perfumes contributed to the company's raising profits.
With Bravo as a CEO, Burberry managed to expand greatly on the US market. The company's sales doubled from 470 million to 1 billion USD.[2] The same happened to the profits, e. g. in the six months before September 30, 2003 they increased to a total of 115 million USD.[4]
In recognition of her work, she earned a reputation of being one of the top female business people. For instance, New York's Wall Street Journal listed her in its 2004 top 50 hall of fame,[5] Fortune Magazine ranked her #13 in its 2004 and 2005 lists of "The 50 most Powerful Women in Business" outside the US.[6]
In 2005, Burberry announced Bravo would step down for Angela Ahrendts (formerly Liz Claiborne). After a 6 months transitional period, Bravo retired as a CEO and became vice chairman of Burberry.

Pop superstar Selena Gomez is reaching new levels of success these days. The young singer and actress managed to score her very first No. 1 title on the Billboard 200 chart, with her latest album 'Stars Dance'. The 'Who Says' singer's fourth studio album – released via Hollywood Records – sold 97,000 copies in its first week, which marks a career-high frame for Gomez.
Each of the 'Hit The Lights' singer's four albums have steadily grown bigger when it comes to their debut weeks, in turn resulting in successively larger sums and better placing on the charts. The pop superstar's 2009 debut album, titled 'Kiss and Tell', opened at No. 9 and sold 66,000 copies in its first week. It was then followed by 'A Year Without Rain', released in 2010, which entered the chart at No. 4 and exceeded 66,000 copies in sale. After that, the 2011 release 'When The Sun Goes Down' sold 78,000 copies and peaked at No. 3, after it launched at No. 4.
Gomez also had her biggest hit yet in 2013, as the first single from 'Stars Dance', track titled 'Come and Get It' reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the star's first top 10). Gomez – who just turned 21 – is the youngest female solo artist to reach No. 1 since her friend, fellow pop star Taylor Swift also did it in 2010.
The 'Slow Down' singer bumped Jay Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' down to No. 2 spot, after it ruled the chart for two weeks.

This question already has an answer here:
If I buy a ticket to "LONDON TERMINALS", such as this ticket, is that ticket valid to any London terminal, or only until the first one I arrive at? For example, from Earley such a ticket is either via Staines to London Victoria, or via Reading to London Paddington. Is this ticket then valid for subsequent travel to other London terminals such as London Euston, London St. Pancras, or London Liverpool Street?

Lefse Day...My favorite day of the Year/
Yesterday I got together with my Mom and sister and we spent the morning making the traditional Norwegian potato flatbread, Lefse. It's our favorite tradition during the holidays and I look forward to it every year. This special day is what my sister and I based our illustrated book "Lefse Day" on which you can read more about here. Throughout the post I mention some of our tips we have learned over the years to make sure the Lefse we are making turns out just right.
To start we set up the essential Lefse-making tools. A Lefse griddle, lefse sticks, a pastry cloth board and rolling pin, and a sifter with flour in it.
These walnut Lefse sticks were a handmade gift from my brother-in-law.
Always keep your rolling board evenly covered with flour to make sure the dough doesn't stick to the cloth. It's also helpful to keep the dough balls in the fridge and only take a few out at a time. This ensures they don't get too soft and prevents the dough from sticking.
Lefse is really thin and cooks up almost instantly once it's on the griddle. We always have someone standing by to flip it while another person does the rolling.
The Lefse should have light brown spots before you flip it to the other side.
My niece Emilie came in to join in on the fun, she's not quite old enough to help yet but we still love teaching her about it.
We use a couple of dish towels to lay the Lefse on while it cools. This prevents it from drying out. After it cools completely it's ready to be folded and put into bags to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer to enjoy later on.
It takes a little practice to roll and and flip the thin Lefse without tearing it. The best part about making a mistake though is that it gives you a good excuse to eat it :)
Our favorite way to enjoy Lefse is rolled up with just butter or butter and cinnamon and sugar.
There is nothing better than getting together with family around the holidays and enjoying homemade, fresh Lefse. If you've never had the real thing I highly recommend trying it. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and Happy Lefse making.

Fresno State Football
Mountain West football notes: Fresno State's turnover trend headed in wrong direction
When coach Tim DeRuyter was hired at Fresno State and defensive coordinator Nick Toth installed a 3-4, the Bulldogs put together one of the biggest turnover turnarounds over the past 10 years. They had 35 takeaways in 2012, after gaining just nine the previous season.
But those 22 interceptions and 13 fumble recoveries were not a predictor of future success. The Bulldogs have had fewer takeaways every year since, going from 35 to 23 to 20, and with only a Mountain West Conference game against Colorado State (6-5, 4-3) left for the Bulldogs (3-8, 2-5) this season, they have 19.
Fresno State has scored only six touchdowns and 51 points off its turnovers gained (its opponents have scored 110 points off 23 turnovers), which adds to the frustration. But a young and injury-depleted defense has been the biggest problem in the second half of the season.
"We have to make sure we're being aggressive, that we're trying to get after the quarterback when we can," Toth said. "The trick with this group right now with some younger guys, you just have to be careful because you can blitz yourself into a situation where those guys haven't gotten as many reps with that. There's a tradeoff. You want to pressure or try to set edges or dictate tempo to the offense, but you have to be real careful with the guys that are on the field. You want to try to force those takeaways, but you also don't want to give up big plays."
Finding that balance has been difficult this season. The Bulldogs have had 11 players on defense miss at least one game to injury, including starting inside (Mike) linebacker Kyrie Wilson, inside (Will) linebacker Jeff Camilli, strong safety Charles Washington, free safety Shannon Edwards and outside linebackers Brandon Hughes and Tobenna Okeke.
"We had a situation against Nevada where we were scratching and clawing (the Bulldogs were down 17-16 at halftime in that game) and I had a weird mix in there and I tried to get after them," Toth said. "But the mix on the field was really inexperienced and we ran a call that they didn't have a lot of reps in and it cracked for 50 yards. You have to be careful.
"You want to create those takeaways that we tried to against Nevada and we did at Hawaii, but you have to keep your eye on everything."
Next game: vs. Colorado State, 6 p.m. Saturday (CBS Sports Network)
Notable: Senior running back Marteze Waller is just four yards away from becoming the fifth back in school history with 3,000 career rushing yards. ... Senior outside linebacker Ejiro Ederaine has 44.5 tackles for loss in his career and needs 2.5 in the finale against Colorado State to tie former San Diego State linebacker Miles Burris for most all-time in the Mountain West.
West Division
Hawaii (2-10, 0-8) – The Rainbow Warriors lost their ninth consecutive game – to finish zip-for-eight in the Mountain West – and then things turned ugly. Defensive tackle Kennedy Tulimasealii questioned the effort of some teammates – and coaches.
During one point in the first half, during which San Jose State converted all seven third-down attempts, defensive coordinator Tom Mason pleaded whether anyone had a solution.
"I said through the headsets, 'Somebody give a third-down call. Hell, I've run out of them,' " Mason recalled.
By then, interim coach Chris Naeole had thrown down his headset.
"I'm tired of hearing people in my ear," Naeole said later.
Next game: vs. Louisiana-Monroe, 8 p.m. Saturday
Notable: The announced turnstile count of 11,625 for the San Jose State game was the smallest for a home game in the Warriors' 40-year residency at Aloha Stadium.
Stephen Tsai,
Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Nevada (6-5, 4-3) – The Wolf Pack simply can't close games, and that theme is five years in the making.
Since 2011, Nevada is 10-19 in games decided by a touchdown or less, with the latest close loss coming Saturday when the Wolf Pack frittered away a 20-point second-half lead in a 31-27 loss at Utah State.
"We have to learn how to finish," Wolf Pack defensive end Lenny Jones said.
The can't-close theme isn't anything new.
In 2011, the Wolf Pack lost a 20-3 fourth-quarter lead against Louisiana Tech in the Western Athletic Conference title game. In 2012, the Wolf Pack lost three double-digit leads in the final four minutes. In 2014, Nevada was 1-4 in games decided by a touchdown or less. And it's lost three more games under such situations this season.
Next game: at San Diego State, 7:45 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2)
Notable: Nevada was without five regular starters on its kickoff coverage unit against Utah State, and it showed. The Wolf Pack allowed a kick return for a touchdown for the first time since 2010 and the Aggies averaged 55.5 yards per return on four kick returns.
Chris Murray,
Reno Gazette-Journal
San Diego State (8-3, 7-0) – It was an odd way to celebrate the first West Division title in the Mountain West.
Plates in hand, a buffet in front of them, the players on San Diego State's football team gathered in a nondescript ballroom in an off-the-Strip hotel to have their pregame meal on Saturday night before heading off to beat UNLV 52-14.
The first of their season goals had been accomplished when Nevada, the only team with a chance to catch the Aztecs, blew a 20-point second-half lead in a loss to Utah State in the afternoon.
By the time the Aztecs arrived for their meal, the only ones who didn't know must have been sleeping or charging their phones.
For good measure, coach Rocky Long announced it to the team, let them soak it up for a few seconds, and then added, "If you want to be a special team, you win them all. If you want the best chance to host the championship game, you better win them all."
Going 8-0 in any league for the first time in school history and getting nine regular-season wins for the first time since 2012 – that is still very much on the table when the Aztecs play their regular-season finale at home Saturday against Nevada.
"That should be motivation enough," Long said Sunday.
Hosting the league title game? That's a long shot now. Air Force's defeat of Boise State on Friday and New Mexico's loss to Colorado State on Saturday clinched the Mountain Division title for Air Force (8-3, 6-1).
The Falcons then made a big jump past San Diego State in the polls that will determine the championship host. When the composite poll was tallied on Monday, Air Force was at 46.5, with the Aztecs at 55.7.
As long as both teams win out (Air Force goes to New Mexico on Saturday), the Falcons probably won't lose their lead and will draw the Aztecs at home in Colorado Springs, Colo., for the championship on Dec. 5.
Up next: vs. Nevada, 7:45 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2)
Notable: The Aztecs have been fortunate on the injury front. Every player who began the season as a starter remains available to play.
Tod Leonard,
San Diego Union-Tribune
San Jose State (5-6, 4-3) – The Spartans face what amounts to a play-in game Friday to become bowl eligible with the mandatory six victories.
And they will have to overcome the odds to defeat Boise State, a program that hasn't lost to San Jose State in 11 meetings.
But the Spartans are riding with confidence after trouncing Hawaii 42-23, whereas Boise State has a two-game losing streak.
Next game: vs. Boise State, 12:30 p.m. Friday (CBS SportsNetwork)
Notable: San Jose State has its most rushing touchdowns since 2004 with 23. This is the fifth time since 1950 that a San Jose State team has rushed and thrown for more than 2,000 yards in a single season.
Elliott Almond,
San Jose Mercury News
UNLV (3-8, 2-5) – The Rebels already weren't the healthiest team before facing San
Diego State on Saturday.
And now they come off a physical 52-14 loss and hope to have enough to beat Wyoming.
The Aztecs rushed for 286 yards and five touchdowns against UNLV. Donnel Pumphrey rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns in the first half before taking off most of the final 30 minutes.
"We played against some good rushing teams throughout the course of the year, and I don't know if any of them beat us up the way they did," UNLV coach Tony Sanchez said. "They were a lot more physical than we were, and it just shows how far we need to go and the things we need to improve on."
Next game: at Wyoming, 11 a.m. Saturday
Notable: The Rebels haven't won at Wyoming since 2003.
Mark Anderson,
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Mountain Division
Air Force (8-3, 6-1) – Karson Roberts' 550 passing yards in the past two weeks are the most in Air Force history in consecutive conference games and the fourth most in consecutive games in program history.
Only Bob Parker (who wrapped 391 yards against Wyoming and 387 against Colorado State around 295 against Missouri in 1970 for two-game stretches of 686 and 682) and Gary Baxter, who passed for 609 with 388 vs. Wyoming and 211 vs. Missouri in 1969 have had better two-game stretches than Roberts.
Roberts is 59 of 107 on the season with 1,244 yards and six touchdowns. He needs 443 more yards to catch offensive coordinator Mike Thiessen's record for passing yards in a season since the Falcons switched to an option offense in 1980. Air Force has at least two, possibly three games remaining.
Next game: at New Mexico, 7:15 p.m. Saturday (ESPNU)
Notable: The Falcons beat Boise State last week and combined with Colorado State's victory over New Mexico clinched the Mountain Division title and a spot in the Mountain West championship Dec. 5. The site of the game is to be determined by rankings following this week's games.
Brent Briggeman,
The (Colorado Springs) Gazette
Boise State (7-4, 4-3) – The Broncos have allowed 600 yards of offense nine times in
the football program's 48-year history.
Two of those ugly performances have occurred in the past 13 months against the two Mountain Division teams that run option-based offenses.
That will send second-year defensive coordinator Marcel Yates into the offseason seeking answers for the second straight year.
The Broncos are 1-3 against those teams, New Mexico and Air Force, since Yates got the job, including back-to-back losses at home the past two weeks.
"We're still a good defense," Yates said Sunday. "We just struggle vs. the option. What I have to do, what we have to do as a staff, is after the season we need to go out and study how to stop the option."
Next game: at San Jose State, 12:30 p.m. Friday (CBS Sports Network)
Notable: Receiver Thomas Sperbeck broke the school record for receiving yards in a season last week. He has 76 catches for 1,289 yards with a 17.0-yard average per catch.
Chadd Cripe,
(Boise) Idaho Statesman
Colorado State (6-5, 4-3) – The biggest beneficiary of the Rams' improved
production in the running game has been sophomore quarterback Nick Stevens.
In their past three games – all wins – Colorado State has run for an average of 258 yards and scored eight touchdowns on the ground.
During a 3-5 start to the season, the Rams were averaging just 164 rushing yards a game.
So it wasn't enough for Stevens, a first-year starter, to simply complete passes to open receivers. With no running game to speak of in losses to Utah State and Boise State, he was trying to carry the entire offense on his shoulders. He didn't understand the new offense of coach Mike Bobo well enough to take what the defense was giving him while throwing as many as 47 passes in one game – a loss to Utah State – and 30 or more in two others.
Instead of checking into running plays at the line of scrimmage, he was trying to make big plays with his arm. That mentality led to three interceptions in one game, a 41-17 loss to San Diego State.
"The best remedy for a struggling quarterback, if we say he was struggling, is to have a solid running game and to be more balanced," Bobo said Monday. "I made a concerted effort going into the Wyoming week that I was going to take a lot of pressure off him in the throwing game and I was going to put pressure on our special teams and our defense and our running game, and I think that's helped."
Next game: at Fresno State, 6 p.m. Saturday (CBSSports Network)
Notable: Three starting defensive backs left the New Mexico game with injuries, but Bobo said he expects senior safeties Trent Matthews and Kevin Pierre-Louis to play Saturday at Fresno State. Bobo put cornerback Preston Hodges in the "questionable/doubtful" category.

New Mexico (6-5, 4-3) – Saturday, pending the awarding of the expected bowl
invitation, Lobos coach Bob Davie will say goodbye to 14 scholarship seniors.
That's not a large group.
Davie wishes it were smaller.
When Davie took over the program in 2012, scholarship numbers were so low in the wake of Mike Locksley's messy departure that Davie redshirted only four freshmen that year: safety Ryan Santos, wide receiver Ridge Jones, offensive lineman Darian Allen and tight end Christian Rebhun. Jones,
Allen and Santos now are fourth-year juniors; Rebhun has left the program.
In succeeding years, two more members of that 2012 class – offensive lineman Garrett Adcock and quarterback-turned tight end Cole Gautsche – took redshirt years.
Saturday, in the regular-season finale against Air Force, seven fourth-year scholarship seniors will take part in pregame Senior Day activities: wide receiver Carlos Wiggins, linebacker Mike Arredondo, tight end Chris Edling, tight end Reece White, cornerback Cranston Jones, running back David Anaya and wide receiver Marquis Bundy.
Davie said he appreciates the sacrifice the four-year players have made.
"I could go through that whole group of guys," Davie said. "The story is well-documented. Could have been redshirted, should have been redshirted, weren't redshirted, and here they are as seniors.
"Unselfish is the word for those guys."
Next game: vs. Air Force, 7:15 p.m. Saturday (ESPNU)
Notable: When and if the anticipated bowl invitation arrives, Davie said he hopes the Lobos stay home and plays in the New Mexico Bowl. "I'd like to see us play another home game here in this stadium," he said. "For three years I've sat around here and hadn't said much, but it's kind of gnawed at me to see two other teams playing on our field."

Utah State (6-5, 5-3) – The Aggies have qualified for their fifth straight bowl game, no
matter what happens against BYU on Saturday at Maverik Stadium.
Utah State is 6-5 after its 31-27 win over Nevada last week. The Aggies rallied from a 27-7 deficit in the third quarter to become bowl eligible.
The problem?
Six other Mountain West teams also have reached the six-win requirement for bowl participation. Another – San Jose State – can join the group with a victory over Boise State on Friday.
The Mountain West could end up with more eligible teams than available bowl berths, meaning it's possible a six-win team like Utah State could get left out.
Wells doesn't see it happening.
"I think seven wins guarantees you a bowl game," Wells said. "I'd like to think six wins and what we've done puts us in a bowl game. But, until you get the invite, you never know."
Next game: vs. BYU, 12:30 p.m. Saturday (CBS Sports Network)
Notable: Senior quarterback Chuckie Keeton replaced starter Kent Myers in the first quarter against Nevada. Myers suffered a shoulder injury on the first play. His status for the BYU game is in doubt. Keeton needs one touchdown pass to set a school record. He is tied with Jose Fuentes (2000-02) with 60.
Steve Luhm,
Salt Lake Tribune
Wyoming (1-10, 1-6) – Second-year coach Craig Bohl said there have been some
"silver linings" as the Cowboys have endured a one-win season.
One of them comes Saturday when Wyoming hosts UNLV (3-8, 2-5) in the season finale for both squads.
"The No. 1 silver lining is the opportunity to coach these seniors," Bohl said. "These guys have been really resilient. The record on the field doesn't indicate progress, but the seniors have done a great job of laying a foundation and modeling strong character and resolve.
"It will be heartwarming for me as the head football coach to send them out. As coaches, we are doing everything we can to come up with a victory."
Eight seniors will be honored before the game, and Bohl said that's the fewest he's had in 35 years as a college coach.
Next game: vs. UNLV, 11 a.m. Saturday
Notable: Sophomore running back Brian Hill needs 57 yards to become the Cowboys' single-season rushing leader. With 1,399 yards, he ranks ninth in the FBS.

MMT's Recommended Products
A Marketing Stack Library
That will make You and your Company Better at Marketing!
This Article was curated from ActiveGrowth's BLOG
Shane's Recommended Online Marketing Tools
I love technology and gadgets, so tools for creating, running and growing an online business have long been an obsession of mine. Below, you'll find my recommended stacks for various purposes and stages of your business. What is a stack? It's a set of tools that you need, all for the same purpose and all chosen to work well with each other
This is everything you need to even be admitted to the game of online business. Before you've got this set up, don't even think of doing anything else.
WPX Hosting
WPX Hosting is a great choice for hosting because it's scalable and affordable. It's not the cheapest solution. BUT: it's still very affordable and it's orders of magnitude better than the typical budget hosting solutions. Start with WPX hosting and you'll have a blazing fast website, extremely good customer service, free SSL and solid security features. The value you get here is second to none.
There are other great options if this is not for you. 1and1 we give a B+, SiteGround an A-, Bluehost is in the Running with WPX.
I built my very first website with WordPress, built dozens of WordPress sites since and have never looked back. What makes WordPress so powerful isn't just that it's free and open source, but that it's also the most widely used and supported content management system you can use. With themes and plugins, you can customize your WordPress site to your needs. And most importantly: your own WordPress installation on your hosting account means you have full control and ownership of your content.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics can be a pain in the ass. By default, it gives you some useful information, a lot of completely useless information and a simply overwhelming amount of options. It takes a lot of learning, before you really get good use out of this tool. That said, it is by far the most sophisticated analytics tool you can use for free and it's very widely supported and integrated. You won't fall in love with Google Analytics right away, but use it from the start. It will pay off, eventually.
Get WPX HostingGet WordPressGet Google Analytics
Conversion Stack
Drip is one of many email marketing + marketing automation services available. The reason I recommend it above all others is that it integrates codelessly with many payment processing services and it's built to provide revenue tracking for your email marketing campaigns. Drip has a longer learning curve than many of its competitors, but the upside is that you can do more with it, once you figure out how.
Thrive Leads & Thrive Landing Pages
Once you have a website set up, one of the most important steps is to put some lead generation in place. Here's what you need to start building an audience in the form of a mailing list. Plus, further tools that will help you create a conversion focused website.
Google Optimize
Google Optimize is very much in line with other marketing products by Google in that it's free to use, highly advanced and a bit complicated. There's a learning curve here, but if you're not afraid of spending an afternoon or two digging through tutorials, it's absolutely worth using this over other (often very expensive) A/B testing platforms.
Many new webinar platforms have come and gone, but GoToWebinar is still my top recommendation. The reason is simple: reliability. I've tested many other webinar services and I've had connectivity issues, quality issues and other problems with all of them, at a far greater rate than I ever have with GoToWebinar.
Marketing Stack
Tools that make you and your marketing team better at research and at creating effective marketing material.
AdEspresso is a must-have as soon as you're spending more than $500/month on Facebook ads. This tool will help you create many Facebook ads quickly, test them all against each other and easily narrow your ad set down to the variations that work best. It doesn't do many things that you can't theoretically also do with the Power Editor, but it's much faster and more convenient.Get AdEspresso
BuzzSumo is a great market research tool. Enter any domain and it will show you the most socially shared content on that website. Enter any keyword and it will show you the most shared content (across all websites) on that topic. It also reveals the top influencers who shared specific posts. These features help you gain a good understanding of what's popular in your market and who potential influencers are that you can reach out to.Get BuzzSumo
As you may know, I'm not big on SEO, but the one SEO tool I still use is ahrefs. It gives you a complete diagnostic view of how your site is performing in search. And it gives you the same complete view of any competitor website you care to know about.Get ahrefs
Productivity Stack
These are the tools you need to get work done online, efficiently and effectively.
To operate with some semblance of productivity and security online, you need a password manager. And the one we recommend is LastPass. If you aren't already using a password manager, you're probably using the same few passwords on many different websites or you've notes or spreadsheets with all your passwords written down. Both of those are terrible for your online security. A password manager will fix this security problem and also make your life a lot easier.Get LastPass
Backblaze automatically backs up all the files on your computer. You don't have to do any setup, it runs in the background and you'll basically never think of it... until you lose your data, your laptop gets stolen or your harddrive crashes. In case you're wondering why I'm listing this as a productivity tool: when the day comes where you lose your data, you'll have a really bad and really unproductive time, if you don't have a backup handy. Backblaze is a useful, convenient and very cheap solution. If you're not using a solid backup service yet, get it right now.Get Backblaze
Evernote is a web, mobile and desktop app that you can use to write down your ideas and take notes. It synchronizes across all your devices and supports, text, audio, images and other media formats. The best way to use Evernote is to use it to get thoughts and ideas out of your head, whenever they occur. Periodically, process all of these notes and either discard them or turn them into documents, projects or tasks.Get Evernote
Google Drive
Specification documents, SOPs (standard operating procedures), strategy and planning documents and any other business related document you can think of belongs on Google Drive. Drive is also where you can store all other files related to a business or project. Use it with the desktop app to sync your Drive folders with local files and you'll always have your business critical files at your fingertips, on any device, anywhere. Even if you are a solopreneur, I recommend using Google Drive, because once you start working with people, it is simply the best environment for keeping files in sync and working on documents collaboratively.Get Google Drive
If you're starting our solo, Trello is just one of many tools you can use to manage your tasks and projects. How useful it is for a single user depends on the kind of work you do and how you use it. But as soon as you start working in a team, no matter how small, Trello really starts to shine. It's free to use, highly customizable and very, very usefulGet Trello
Digital Product Stack (Work in Progress)
These tools will help you set up a value based business, in which you sell digital products, services or memberships to your customers.
Note: this section is a work in progress. All the tools listed below are competent, but "best in class" recommendations may change in the near future.
You know how you know Stripe is a leading solution for online payment processing? Because every other online payment processor is desperately trying to be like Stripe. Stripe is a great, fairly priced and widely supported solution for accepting credit card payments on your website.Get Stripe
MemberMouse is the membership product we use for Thrive Themes. It integrates with PayPal, Stripe and other payment processors and gives you a lot of flexiblity in creating products, membership levels and protecting posts, pages and more.Get MemberMouse
SendOwl does some of the most boring, but also most important stuff for your business. Namely: invoices and EU VAT tax compliance. It also does some cool stuff like letting you accept Apple Pay and Bitcoin payments and adding a one-click upsell feature. Another important aspect to SendOwl is that it has reasonable pricing, whereas most other VAT compliance solutions are priced for the enterprise (i.e. stupidly expensive). Another great advantage: SendOwl automatically creates a simple affiliate program for your products.Get SendOwl
Let's start with the bad news: Intercom is expensive. If you're starting out on a shoestring budget, it may not be an option. The reason I recommend it is because it's the most progressive and forward thinking customer support solution available. And apart from customer support, it also does many other customer communication jobs. If you use Intercom, there's a whole bunch of other tools (for example, live chat) that you no longer need.Get Intercom
Teamwork Stack
Here are some indispensably useful tools for when you start working with a small team (whether remote or on location). What stays the same is my recommendation for Trello - it's equally useful for small teams and for solo work.
Whatever you do, don't use email for communication in teams. Trying to keep up with email threads that multiple people are involved in is a surefire way to go crazy. Slack is one of many team messaging services and it has gained a lot of popularity. For our team, it's been the best, most efficient way to keep communication flowing (even with many on the team working remotely).Get Slack
As soon as you start working with people, you start needing contracts. Whether that's contracts for employees or freelancers, non-disclosure agreements or anything else where you need legal documents. HelloSign is an easy solution for legally binding, digital signatures. That means you don't have to send paper mail back and forth with remote team members. Since HelloSign also has a free plan, I recommend using it starting with your very first hire.Get HelloSign
If you're managing a team of marketers, writers or anything other than developers, Trello is your tool. But if you're managing a software development team and you need to track versions, branches, bugs and more, I recommend you start using Jira. It's a very customizable project management tool made specifically for software development and it can accommodate even large teams and complex workflows.Get Jira
CoSchedule is a content marketing calendar for teams. If you have 3 or more people writing content for your blog, it's worth trying CoSchedule, to organize who publishes what and when. CoSchedule also has a very useful social media posting feature, which can replace some standalone social media tools.Get CoSchedule
InVision is an app for design teamwork. Your designers upload their work to InVision and anyone else on the team can easily add comments and give feedback. InVision can also be used to string together several designs into simple prototypes. In short, InVision is much, much better than emailing designs back and forth until you arrive at the final version.Get InVision
Books That Will Make You a Better Entrepreneur
Books aren't as sexy as the latest new app that promises to run your business for you. In practice, though, I've gotten far more value out of the books I've read than out of all the tools I've ever used, combined. It's insane how much value you can get for a fistful of dollars, from books. Here are what I consider the cream of the crop, when it comes to books that will make you a more effective entrepreneur and leader:
Nail It Then Scale It
This is a book about how to validate an idea first and then scale it to a successful business. This is an idea featured in many books, but this is the one where I think it's described in the clearest, most actionable way.Get the Book
The Lean Startup
The classic read on creating a minimum viable product and improving your product in small iterations. Definitely overlaps with "Nail It Then Scale It", but they are both worth reading, to get a full understanding of the lean approach.Get the Book
Competing Against Luck
This is a book about how to think about product creation and innovation. It provides a frame for how to think of what role your business plays in your customer's life. Highly strategic and very valuable.Get the Book
Profit First
This book is a little verbose, but the concept it teaches is extremely valuable. It goes exceedingly well with the "customer first" and rapid implementation ideas we preach here. Follow this system and your chances of success rise significantly.Get the Book
80/20 Sales and Marketing
I recommend this book because it will help you make better decisions about how to price your products and because it will train you to look for high leverage ways to grow your business. It's more strategic than practical, but useful nonetheless.Get the Book
Good to Great
This is a book that is only useful once you've gained some traction in your business and you're growing your team. When you reach this point, Good to Great will be inspiring and will change the way you think about scaling.Get the Book
You Should Test That!
This book will take you from knowing nothing about conversion optimization to having a deep, practical knowledge on the topic. If you only read one book about optimization and testing, this should be the one.Get the Book
Lean Customer Development
Communicating with your customers and prospects is a hugely important business activity. This book gives you a great framework for reaching out to and interviewing people, to learn how to build better products.Get the Book
This books explores an elusively rare kind of CEO and leader: the kind who is so influential, they define an entire industry. Although we may never reach such a level of success, what we can learn from these leaders is immensely valuableGet the Book
Books That Will Make You a Better Person
The following books aren't directly about entrepreneurship, but they will help you cultivate the mindset, habits and character traits that will make you more effective, more productive and better overall.
Becoming a successful entrepreneur relies in large part on building entrepreneurial skills. On getting good at the right stuff. Peak will give you a clear plan for developing a high level of skill at anything you choose.Get the Book
This book and "Peak" are a one-two punch of personal development and skill building. If you find yourself resisting the notion that you can build the skills needed to succeed, Mindset will provide definitive proof that you can.Get the Book
Happiness Hypothesis
The more stressed, anxious and unhappy you are, the less effective you will be. And entrepreneurs are especially prone to stress, anxiety and burnout. That's why I recommend this book - the best one on the science of happiness that I know of.Get the Book
Deep Work
The age of distraction that we live in has opened up a great opportunity for people to stand out from the crowd, by working differently. This book makes one important point, elaborately. Adopting a habit of deep work is crucial to success, I believe.Get the Book
Changing your own habit is hard. Changing habits and patterns of behavior in an organization or team is even harder. This book provides insight into why and what you can do to switch to better behaviors, effectively.Get the Book
On Writing Well
I've found that a lot of the work I've done as an entrepreneur and CEO has involved various forms of non-fiction writing. This book is the definitive guide to this kind of writing. And you know you can trust the author, because it's incredibly well written.Get the Book

Imagine this. Boxing Day. A small hangover. What fixes it? How about a grass-fed, FFMM burger patty (cooked to perfection obviously) with a nice slab of gammon hunkering over the top if it. Sounds good, right? Sounds REALLY good, in fact. We thought so too. We thought so too my peeps. But what if you bought a gammon from us and just went about eating the whole thing. What do you do then? Well, fear not. We've only gone and added little studs of gammon INTO A FRIGGIN' BURGER PATTY for you. So you get the party, without the planning. Just buy the patties and cook them up. Done.
Do them in a pan. Do them on a fire. We don't mind. The gammon is cooked already so you can still enjoy the burgers pink or even rare. Don't be shy to slide a fried egg on there and some cheese. Hot sauce? Why not.
Price & Portioning
180g burgers in packs of 4. R172/kg

Outlook.com email users now have the option to easily and quickly save attachments right into OneDrive cloud storage. The update to the web email service adds a "Save to OneDrive" that, well, lets you save attachments to OneDrive.
Thankfully Microsoft has made this a straight-forward process:
"We've made it simpler and tidier to manage these email attachments. When you receive an email with an attachment or group of attachments—documents, pictures, music or videos—you can now save them to OneDrive in just one click."
Files saved in this manner are put into a OneDrive folder with the all-too-obvious name of "Email attachments" to make finding the later easier. The first hints of the new feature appeared over the weekend, but now it's available to all Outlook.com users.

Kilmallock U13 crowned League 1 Champions Tonight.
Congratulations to our u13 side who prevailed in a tough encounter with local rivals Ballylanders to win the league this evening.A great support was welcomed and needed as we expected a fierce battle from our counterparts.
From the opening kick of the game to the final whistle we had four seasons of weather, from high wind, hail to sunshine, it was Ballylanders who started brightly attacking on several occasions without success, we had two clear chances that were not converted and when Ballylanders scored it looked like one of those evenings that nothing was going to go right.Dermot Dwane,Ian Finn, and Conor Cleary kept all attacks at bayfor the remainder of the half With a change of ends and tactics from Manager Barry Sheedy to go with a more attacking style it wasnt long before we got on the score sheet where Kevin Sheedy side footed to Odran Donegan, who cleared to Bernard Leahy in turn passed it on to Shane O Brien,a great piece of individual work allowed Shane to break our duck and make a draw of it.
For the next 10 Minutes both sides pushed for a lead, Kilmallock then got a corner launched across by Conor Shanahan, the ball was cleared to outside the penalty box and met with a half volley by Conor Cleary and was never going anywhere but the top corner of the goal.
With a lead now Kilmallock pushed on Eoin Enright passed a ball through to Conor Shanahan who slid it passed the Bally goalie in fine style to make it 3 - 1, two minutes later Conor Finn almost with an identical pass to Conor again who, again tucked neatly to the corner of the Goal. The game was over now as a contest and Sean Cleary our ManOfTheMatch passed it to Steve Ward who made a great run to the corner and passed it Liam Harte, Liams shot was deflected and waiting was Oisin Enright to slot home Number 5. Dean Casey and Luke Earls had shots late on to be saved by the Ballylanders Goalie. This win culminated a great season and we can look forward to the cup semi final on Saturday which if we can suceed against Cappamore will be the icing on the cake. All support welcome at 5.00 Saturday late afternoon, Again welldone to all, esp our Manofthe match Sean Cleary and great work from Conor Finn.

Wedding Photography
I really believe that too fewer people know the truth about what they look like in a photograph. I want my imagery to help you see the truth about yourself. As a photographer, it's my responsibility put you at ease in front of the camera. It's my responsibility to hide my presence in your imagery to allow your true being to shine through. This isn't about the technical aspects of photography. It's about my ability to communicate with other human beings in such a way as to allow your true self to be revealed. I will never make you feel uncomfortable or pose you in awkward ways. You are unique. Your job is to simply be yourself.
My pleasure in photographing a wedding comes from knowing that I'm creating a story about one day in two people's lives, and I'm able to influence that with an artistic eye. I work by watching the day unfold and documenting the details with my camera. My goal is to compose a photographic narrative with a beginning, middle and end; allowing the day to be re-lived 20 years later by generations to come.
I'm grateful to have photographed over 100 weddings all around the globe including Australia, Fiji, France and the United States. See below for a collection of my wedding imagery :) Packages start at $2199.

REtape is the Removable, Resealable And Reusable Tape You Can Use Again And Again
Ever wish you had a tape that was worth more than one application? How about one that didn't get all tangled up and then sealed on the front or back of the strip before you can even get it applied? Well, someone has finally come out with a product that allows you to apply it and then reposition it and then use it again and again. The product is called REtape, and it's perfect for multiple applications like sealing bags of chips or cookies or just about anything else you want to get into repeatedly without having to apply a new strip of tape each time.
REtape allows you to do away with clips for keeping contents fresh or critters out of your food. If you're like most people, you probably only have a handful of chip clips and you're constantly having to double or triple up on the number of bags in your cupboards with only one clip between them. This leaves you getting into one bag while the others unfurl, leaving the contents of those bags exposed to air so that they get stale sooner than they should. With REtape, you just unroll a section to the length you need it, snap it off from the tape dispenser and apply it to the bag for repeated usage.
Food Labels
REtape can also be used as a food label for frozen foods so that you can quit wondering how long the item has been in the back of your freezer, taking all the guesswork out of past-due dates. Just grab a Sharpie or a pen and write directly on the tape and your storage date is right there. The ink won't rub off and the tape stays securely in place until you're ready to use it. You can use it in the fridge, too, where moisture levels are higher, without worrying that it will fall off and eventually leave your food exposed. Air coming into contact with food is what breaks it down and causes it to rot.
Storing Beauty Products
Another nifty use for REtape is the fact you can use it to secure squeeze caps on things like bottles of lotion or tubes of sunblock that you might throw into your purse or beach bag only to find that the contents have leaked out all over everything else you had stored inside the bag. It can happen from heat or the lip of the cap getting snagged on something while your digging through your bag looking for other items. This can also happen when you're traveling. Who hasn't unpacked their luggage on at least one occasion and found that their shampoo or conditioner has oozed out onto the other contents contained within their suitcase?
Tape Dispensers
REtape comes in a handy tape dispenser with suction cups on the bottom for securing it firmly to a variety of surfaces. The tape itself comes in segments with tabs so you can cut it to whatever length you need. The tabs allow you to pull the tape up without digging it off the surface you've just applied it to and shredding it or making a mess of things. It comes in rolls of 500 inches, and, because you can reuse it, you won't need to buy new rolls constantly. It's about time somebody came up with an invention like this.

I've watched Sanaa Lathan play a variety of colorful characters on the big screen throughout the years, so I wasn't surprised when she was cast to star in the romantic comedy, Nappily Ever After. I was surprised, however, to learn that she fully immersed herself in the 'no hair don't care' club, because let's face it: a black woman's hair is her crown and glory. It's what defines her beauty. Her mother and grandmother probably taught her that hair (especially longer) is the epitome of femininity. But as a grown ass woman, freethinker, choice and decision maker, I remember standing on my tiptoes, screaming "gloraaay, Sanaa! You betta…" when I learned that she actually shaved off her real hair, y'all! For like, for real for real! Oh, the anticipation of the film's release date!
Red wine (Olivia Pope style) and popcorn in tow, I made a comfy seat on my couch, because, duh: Nappily Ever After was sure to be the 'IT' movie of the season! In Act 1 Scene 1, we're introduced to Miss Perfect America, young Violet Jones, who so desperately wants to dive (without a swim cap) into the pool with the white kids from the playground. Now, we all know how water can wreak havoc on a black woman's hair, but damn. Can little Violet live? Where are her cornrows for swimming? Where is her swim or shower cap? The camera then cuts to her stern-faced mama, and I already know where the cloth fell. There's a history of family pathology called, perfectionism happening here, and it already looks as if things won't end too well for little Violet.
Act 2 Scene 2 introduces us to grownup Violet, who actually hasn't really "grown" much at all. Her primary concern is to bait and catch the man (presumably) holding a wedding ring and the key to the white picket fence. We watch Ms. Violet prance through the streets without a hair out of place, and I wonder if she's really comfortable in her own skin, or if it's a facade hiding behind her perfectly flat ironed hair. I went with the latter: as a woman in power, Violet doesn't know who she really is. Like, girl. Why is your mama sneaking to the house in the middle of the night to give you a press and curl? Anytime you are afraid to let your significant other see you in your natural habitat, there is sure to be a deeper underlying issue. I'm about 17.5 minutes in, and I'm already looking at her and her mama like they batshit crazy.
So, here's the thing: we as women have the emotional, intuitive power to sense when something's just not right. Whether it's unhappiness with our careers, lack of self-esteem and worth, the guy in our life who seems shady, or the toxic friends and family we continue to hold dear because of guilt. We have the intuitive power to say enough is enough, but instead, we hold on to what's comfortable: the dude who won't commit, the dead-end job, the friend who never shows up! We even hold on to our hair, because for so long, it has defined our beauty. We are our hair. So, here's Violet screaming her face off in the beauty salon, because of course, we were taught that losing or cutting our hair is the death of our womanhood and being. What we see happen in the beauty salon is the same exact behavior we saw from Violet's mother in the beginning of the film at the swimming pool. That's that lethal family pathology that I'm talking about, and Violet gets it from her mama.
All of that, and surprise, surprise - she didn't even get the ring. She undergoes a classic, and emotional breakdown of both the loss of her relationship with ol' boy and herself. It's about an hour's worth of unadulterated melodrama of finding one's self until the big chop. I shaved off all of my hair about 4 years ago in celebration of my newly defined self, (read about my journey on POPSUGAR Beauty here) so I was disappointed to learn that Violet had shaved her head in sheer rage, fear and contempt of her status in life. She and I are very different in that sense. Violet was fed up, and I was gratified. And just like Violet's mama, my mama passed out too, but the difference is that when you stand strong in your choices, everyone else (including our parents) will eventually fall in line. Thankfully, we witness this later in the film.
I loved watching Violet go back to work with a new attitude and outlook. The way people responded to her was all too familiar, and I wondered why it struck such a nerve in me. You can be the most beautiful, successful, confident woman on the planet – and folks will still find fault, or reasons not to like you. I taught myself to keep living anyway, and I celebrated Violet doing the same. I wish the script didn't include her finding a new love interest. That angle seemed like an attempt to fill a void outside of herself, instead of within herself. And what's Violet's poor mama to do with a spiteful ex-husband - and bald daughter with a broke new beau? Oh, the shame! It was just a matter of time before we witnessed Violet falling back into her old habits. And, boy, did we.
Going back to ol' boy who gifted her with Snoopy instead of a ring was painful to watch. And for what? Only for him to project the ideology of perfectionism back into her life – and blatantly ask her to straighten her natural hair?! Boy, bye. I felt like all the work she had done on herself went straight out the window. Maybe it's because I've been there. Maybe it's because I, too, have learned a plenty of hard lessons, only to fall back into the same old pattern familiarity. Oh, Ms. Violet. We were all rooting for you.
For me, the most powerful scene was towards the end of the film when she jumped into the swimming pool at her (fake) engagement party. And although mama was forced to jump in too, it showed me that old ways of thinking about our hair, our relationships with others, and the relationship we have with ourselves, may not be beneficial for the long haul. Rebirth is the name of the game, y'all. I'll admit that I wanted more from at the end of her story, but I think Violet taught us that learning to authentically love ourselves for who we really are is a lifelong journey. And if we do it without the dependency, or affirmation of others, well…that just makes it a happily ever after.
Have you guys seen the film? What did you think?

The routine of most working professionals is to get up, and go to work. But what if your routine is, "Get up, go to work, come home and do a second job you are more passionate about than the job that pays the bills?" What if your routine is a balancing act between what you spend your time doing and what you truly love? Can you turn your "side gig" into a "full-time gig," and if so, how?
It may be possible to transform your passion into a full-time job. It happens all the time. Here are some important steps to take to determine if such a move will work for you.
Step 1 – Determine your skill level.
This must be an honest assessment. Ask yourself if you have something that the marketplace demands, and for which the market will compensate you enough to make a living.
Here is a perfect real-world example – photography. Our example, Bill, got hooked on underwater photography during his many deep-sea diving excursions around the world. His photos were stunning, looked amazing blown up and framed, and he generated some earnings by selling his work on the side. Could he do this full time?
The professional benchmark for natural photography, undersea or otherwise, is National Geographic. Bill compared his work to what was published in National Geographic, and determined it didn't quite compare to what he saw. He made a deliberate and honest assessment of his skills vs. the marketplace, and decided that his photography passion should remain a side gig. He is now a PhD in psychology with a thriving private practice.
Step 2 – Benchmark the professionals who are successful at what you want to do.
Whatever it is you want to do, there are already many people doing it. Familiarize yourself with their educational and professional backgrounds, identify the professional organizations to which they belong, take note of the broad perspective of their career arcs, and analyze any barriers to entry that may exist.
LinkedIn is a great platform on which to conduct this kind of research. Let's take a closer look at the "barriers to entry." A quick LinkedIn search should give you plenty of professionals from whom you can easily deduce vital shared credentials that are common to success.
Take a look at, for example, consulting vs. graphic design. Consulting full-time may require much more applied experience than a full-time job in graphic design, but graphic design requires specific degrees and knowledge of industry standard design platforms. So, for the individual without a visual arts education but a deep business background, the graphics field may have more barriers to entry than consulting in the form of going back to school.
Step 3 – Conduct a cost/benefit analysis.
Take a look at your current finances. If you live paycheck-to-paycheck, your strategy to transition a side-gig into a full-time one is going to be more challenging than someone who has a year's salary saved up as a cushion.
Research salaries related to your side gig vs. what your current position pays vs. your baseline life expenses (e.g. rent/mortgage, health care, car, insurance, etc.). Determine how a move will impact your financial status and stability. Create as full of a portrait of your financial landscape as possible, including potential changes to your tax liabilities.
Step 4 – Determine your Happiness Factor.
Now you must ask yourself the most important question of all (and YOU are the only person who knows the answer!): Will you be happy doing your side gig on a full-time basis? The work you do as a hobby may not be so rewarding when you are doing it day-in, day-out and your livelihood depends upon it.
And there are psychological risks associated with turning your passion into full-time work. You must now trade the freedom of approaching your side gig in whatever manner you choose to conform with the realities of the marketplace. Being self-employed or freelance carries demands that are very different than those you face working for a company. Now you must be three people: the CEO of your business, the head of sales marketing (the market can't compensate you if it doesn't know you are there), and the full-time employee who does the actual work.
You've decided to make the move. But how? What is the best way to go about it? Your primary options are, 1) Baby Steps, or 2) Full-throttle.
Option 1 – Baby Steps
Taking baby steps means slowly building up your side gig and gradually transitioning it into a full-time operation when financially and professionally appropriate.
There are many advantages to this approach. It may minimize the financial impact of the move, it allows you more space to make rookie mistakes and adjust your methods as necessary, and gives you more pathways to grow and develop like apprenticeships, internships (apprenticeships for students), or even part-time/contract jobs.
Disadvantages to the Baby Steps approach include carving out the needed time to be a success while treating your endeavor like a legitimate full-time business, maintaining a level of professionalism that separates work from a hobby, and measuring your happiness factor with only one foot in the water.
Option 2 – Full Throttle
If you are the type of person who believes in bold moves, then you may decide to go full-throttle, which is pretty self-explanatory.
This approach is more dramatic, carries more risk, will have a greater and more immediate impact on your finances, and requires you to build a business from scratch. A business with one employee is still a business, and its success requires a whole different skill set than the skills you need to perform the actual work, which must already be of a professional quality and service level the market demands.
That said, dropping everything to fully commit to a new endeavor can be a challenging and exhilarating experience. You may make a few more mistakes, and you may hit some extra bumps along the way, but an immersive and aggressive learning-by-doing approach may accelerate your professional standing and turn your passion into a successful full-time career.

I'll also take the opportunity to tell you about upcoming workshops, retreats, teacher trainings, and other events that I'm excited about. Ideally this will be a sort of stream of consciousness, or even better, an open-ended conversation, so please let me know if there is anything you would like to talk about. Thanks for reading.


text: I just purchased a used TA-30 head. It's from 2011 and suffers from the reverb/effects loops noise issue. I guess the previous owner never bothered to get it fixed. This is a known issue for which they have a fix. But they will not cover the amp because it's out of warranty, even though it is within the range of serial numbers that they deemed eligible for the fix. If I bought a vehicle that qualified for a recall that wasn't address by the previous owner it would still qualify. I realize this isn't a safety issue, but I believed that Mesa would stand behind their products. Very disappointing. I could pay for the fix at a cost of about $150, but then the decent deal I got on the amp is no longer so decent. Am I wrong to think Mesa should cover the fix for a known issue even though the amp is out of warranty?

Qatar has moved closer to granting permanent residency to foreigners after its senior legislative body approved a draft law, first announced in the wake of the ongoing Gulf crisis.State media reported the Shura Council agreed Monday to back a law that would grant residency to expatriates who provide valuable services as well as to the children of Qatari women married to non-Qataris. The proposal will now be considered by Qatar's Cabinet and Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani before it becomes law.


text: In all this heat, it is nice to keep the upstairs South-facing rooms as cool as possible. So while I was away at the weekend, I came home to find this had been made for me, as a surprise, out of scrap fire wood. I adore it – especially the little shelf for displaying found objects, fits in with my ethos of things being functional and decorative. The most magical thing about it is was to go upstairs at dusk last night and look in to the darkened room…. all you could see was the diamond shape. Perfick.

Imagine that you woke up today and realized that one of your loved ones never came home. Your phone calls go unanswered as minutes turn into hours. You think to yourself, "This is not normal." You try to retrace their habits and patterns but no answers come. Knowing deep down something is wrong, you call the police. A mixed response is likely. Most police agencies will take a report and enter your family member as missing, but often little else can be done. Why?
The fact is, adults have the right to go missing. They are able to walk away from their lives, jobs and families at will. Historically, without evidence of foul play, these cases were closed without further action. Yet, for the family of the loved one who never came home, the incident remained forever — an unending nightmare. Tragically, this is an experience many families in our society were and are forced to live.
In fact, 600,000 people are reported missing every year in the United States. Perhaps even worse, 40,000 unidentified bodies reside in public cemeteries, coroners, and medical examiner offices across the country.
Here in Arizona, we have 2,000 people entered as long term missing and nearly 1,500 unidentified human remains statewide. Gone with little clues, even though a large percentage is likely part of the 84,000 missing entered into the national database. These are astounding numbers reflective of a major problem in our society. No wonder that the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, NAMUS, an organization dedicated to the reconciliation of these issues, terms this "the nation's silent mass disaster."
Each number represents years of unanswered questions and wondering, with the potential for no closure. Moreover, these statistics are likely incredibly low for a variety of reasons, among them fear or mistrust of law enforcement. Many of the missing are from marginalized populations, and often these families feel failed by the system. Perhaps, they are right.
Since law enforcement's main purpose is to deal with crime, and these missing person incidents are often perceived as non-criminal, little is done to investigate the cases while resources are dedicated to other areas. Despite surface appearances, some of these cases are actually criminal events, be it abduction or murder. Even if the case does not have those factors, we owe it to our society, to these families to do better. The good news is that we are actually making an effort.
For the last two years, a beautiful partnership has emerged to try to fill this void and correct the injustice that so many families have endured. This partnership of law enforcement, medical examiners, humanitarian groups like Humane Borders, NAMUS, Arizona State University, Foreign Consulates, and so many others have come together to change the narrative. Detective Stuart Somershoe, of the Phoenix Police Department, conceptualized and emulated an event held in Michigan and other states where at least one day a year we shine light on this significant issue.
Stuart formed a partnership with the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office, and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Realizing that they could not address the problem alone, the three invited many other partners to join.
In October of 2015, the first 'Missing in Arizona' day was held at the West Campus of Arizona State University in Glendale, Arizona, and it was so successful a second event was staged in 2016. Missing in Arizona 2015 and 2016 led to nearly 30 new reports as well as a chance to revisit some previously reported cases. Nineteen of those cases have been resolved with some of the missing persons found alive.
Missing in Arizona Day 2017 will be held on Oct. 21, 2017, at Arizona State University, West Campus. We have a head start. This year an expanded partnership involving medical examiners in Pima and Pinal Counties as well as Tucson Police, Pima County Sheriff's Office, and Mesa Police, allowed us to take cases early. We are energized, prepared and ready to go. Now, we need those facing this crisis to come forward.
Our message to those with missing loved ones is that we will not permit barriers to interfere with your opportunity to successfully make a missing person's report. We encourage all families, regardless of circumstances, who have a missing loved one with any connection to Arizona to come to Missing in Arizona Day.
The day will end with a candlelight vigil to honor those who have yet to come home. In doing this, we hope that we can change the missing person story and provide closure to many.
Detective Sgt. John Little, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office

text: <I know there's been this type of thread in the past but it's been a while and, well, this is my experience with it.> I've been itching to try the SW500 for some time. Finally went to a local range that had one for rent. The standard 8-3/8" version. I have shot a 14" T/C in 45/70 and thought I should be able to handle the 500. I regularly shoot .44mag for fun and actually completed the NRA Distinguished Marksmanship badge with one. I fired 6 rounds at 15yds. I didn't go to 25yds because the range owner wasn't sure where the gun was sited in. It wasn't comfortable but manageable. It twisted more in my hand that I would have liked. I think a slightly small grip would have helped. It would take another range session to work on my hold. I've got still pictures of the peak of recoil (yes I realize that at 30fps it may not actually have caught the very top) but of the 6 shots this was the one frame that was the most vertical, #5 shot if you're curious. Also the target. And no I didn't walk it into the center, just the opposite. The center was my first shot and the group, left and down were the other 5. Don't have a need to buy one and I'm glad I got that out of my system. I may go back at some point and try again to see if I can hold it better.

Unlocking agribusinesses potential through financing
ELAN RDC works with several farms to improve their production techniques. These farms specialize in a wide range of activities, including production and sale of seeds, sale of agricultural inputs or contract farming, processing and marketing of either maize or rice for consumption.
After addressing technical production constraints, lack of financing to meet either working capital or investment needs became the biggest growth bottleneck for the farms we've worked with. To address this, ELAN RDC has partnered with financial institutions to help them better understand the sector's risks and business models and ultimately facilitate access to credit for agribusinesses.
After working with ELAN RDC to target smallholder farmers, grow their sales, and further formalize their business, Mimosa, a seed farm in Katanga, has become a more attractive credit profile to financial institutions.
To date, Mimosa and three other ELAN RDC agribusiness partners have accessed over $700,000 of diverse financing from a leading financial institution for the acquisition of agricultural inputs, stock and equipment.
We believe that improved financing for agribusinesses will continue to unlock productivity for the Congolese agricultural sector.
Learn more about Mimosa's growth from the latest video in our series highlighting partners. https://youtu.be/q5F5BPCRCRE
