Instant Pots and LG fridges: Give a practical gift with a high-tech appliance for the holidays
These gadget-minded in-home upgrades make great gifts for that special someone (or for yourself -- we won't judge).
Wacaco Nanopresso
Shopping for the holidays and looking for good, gadgety appliance gifts? You've come to the right collection of pictures and captions, my friend.
Disclaimer: CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.
Let's start things off the same way a lot of us start our days off: coffee. At a retail price of $79, the Wacaco Nanopresso is a manual espresso maker that you can take anywhere. Just supply the hot water, the filter and the coffee grounds, then add a little bit of muscle to prime the pump. The Nanopresso will do the rest.
Bonavita Metropolitan
If your loved one prefers standard drip brew to espresso, then consider the Bonavita Metropolitan. It's an excellent coffeemaker from one of our top-tested brands, and it comes at a very fair price of $100.
Ember Smart Mug
Another good gift for the coffee snob on your shopping list: Ember's smart coffee mug. Not only does it hold your beverage at the optimal drinking temperature, but it'll even track your caffeine intake, then share the data with Apple Health so you can track it.
Java-lovers take note: Our resident coffee expert Brian Bennett uses Ember's smart mug just about every day, and he swears by the thing, calling it "catnip for coffee geeks."
June Intelligent Oven 2.0
The second-gen June Intelligent Oven costs $600, which is obviously a lot to spend on a countertop cooking device. Still, that's less than the first generation cost, and for the money, you're getting an excellent appliance with software and built-in cameras capable of recognizing what you're trying to make, then automating the cooking process accordingly. It won the overwhelming approval of our taste-testers, too.
Tovala Smart Oven Gen 2
If even the June sounds like too much work for you or someone you know, the Tovala and its meal kits make cooking even easier. The second-gen model costs $350 and allows you to use it as a countertop oven and cook from scratch if you'd like, but it works best with the mail-order kits you can simply pop in and eat a little while later.
Breville Pizzaolio
Shopping for a pizza fanatic? You could always splurge on a dedicated, countertop pizza oven like the Breville Pizzaolio. At $800, it definitely doesn't come cheap, but it certainly costs a lot less than a full-size pizza oven for your wall. Besides, can anyone really put a price on fresh-baked pie ready in just 2 minutes?
Whirlpool Smart Front-Control Range
Speaking of ovens, here's a new one from Whirlpool that works with Alexa and Google Assistant to let you start preheating with a simple voice command. Prices vary, but I'm currently seeing it on sale for about $1,300.
Worth the cash? Maybe, maybe not -- but that voice preheating sounds like the kind of simple little feature that I'd end up using all of the time. If you've got a family member who uses a voice assistant and loves to cook, an appliance like this could make for a sneaky smart splurge (especially if you get to eat the things they cook with it).
Instant Pot Ace
The Instant Pot countertop cooker is a bonafide breakout hit, so the brand doubled down this year and released a blender to go with it. And wouldn't you know it, Instant Pot cooked up another winner. At $99, it's one of the best-reviewed blenders we've ever tested, and would make a great gift for your favorite foodie.
FirstBuild Paragon Mat
Here's another countertop cooking gadget worth considering: the Paragon Mat from FirstBuild. It's a new accessory that comes with the Paragon Induction Cooktop, and once you set it on top of the cooking surface, it'll let the cooker sense and regulate the temperature of your cookware. That brings a whole new level of versatility to an already likable cooking gadget. The total cost for everything? $299.
Picobrew Pico Model C
The Picobrew Model C is almost perfect when it comes to making your own beer at home, and you can often get it for less than $300. It's a slam dunk gift for your favorite beer snob.
Simple Chef HF-898 Air Fryer
We tested a whole bunch of air fryers this year to find the ones that are actually worth it. Much to our french-fried delight, the Simple Chef HF-989 -- the most affordable option we tested -- was also one of the best. This holiday season, we say give the gift of air-fried everything.
Char-Broil Performance XL-1
We also tested backyard grills this year, and the Performance XL-1 from Char-Broil was one of our top finishers. At a retail price of $300, it's a budget-friendly pick that'll have whoever you're getting it for all fired up for summer to return. Bonus: They pretty much have to invite you to their first cookout.
Orca Classic Cooler
What's that next to the Char-Broil grill from the previous slide? Why, it's the Orca Classic Cooler, of course, and it's another sneaky good gift for anyone who's already planning ahead for fun in the sun next summer. It was one of the top-performing coolers out of all 12 that we tested this year, and it offers significantly more space than its rival, the Yeti Tundra 45. The cost? Under $300.
Lifetime High Performance Cooler
If $300 is too steep for your budget, then consider the Lifetime High Performance Cooler, which we snagged at Walmart for about $100. It isn't quite as high-end a build as Orca or Yeti, but it offers a terrific balance of performance and design for the price. Plus, it has a built-in bottle opener!
OK, let's head back to the kitchen. If you've been thinking about replacing your home's fridge, then buying a really nice one for the holidays could make a great gift for the family. For my money, I like this premium side-by-side model from LG -- one of the best fridges I tested all year. The retail price is a hefty $2,100, but as of writing this I'm seeing it marked down to about $1,700 at numerous big box retailers. At that price, this side-by-side is a steal.
Thor Kitchen HRF3601F
Speaking of fridge deals, this counter-depth French door model from Thor Kitchen offers near-perfect performance and a distinctive dual-drawer freezer for less than $2,000.
Samsung RT21M6213SR Top Freezer with FlexZone
For a simpler option if you want a fridge upgrade, this top freezer from Samsung costs a reasonable $850. It looks great, it performed well in our tests and it lets you switch the freezer to fridge temps if you need the extra space for a holiday party.
Soraa Radiant LED
OK, so maybe you aren't looking to spend thousands on a new large appliance this holiday season. That's fine -- how about some new light bulbs? These Radiant LEDs from Soraa would make a great upgrade for anyone with lots of colors in their home, because it uses a special design to help those colors look their best. It's a great pick for a kitchen, a walk-in closet, or anywhere else where vivid, accurate color quality could make a noticeable difference.
Philips Deco Vintage Filament LED Light Bulbs
For a light bulb that's more of a conversation piece in and of itself, consider these enormous, vintage-style bulbs from Philips. Your loved one can hang them on their own for a warm, distinctive aesthetic.
Eufy RoboVac 30C
For $300, Eufy's RoboVac 30C offers automated cleaning that you can control and schedule from your phone thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi radio -- a first for the brand. On top of that, it works with both Alexa and Google Assistant, letting you tell either one to get the floors clean. Buy it for that special messy someone, or just buy it for yourself to help clean up after your next holiday get-together.
Tailwind iQ3 Smart Automatic Garage Controller
Perhaps you want to upgrade the exterior of your home this holiday. The $110 Tailwind iQ3 is a solid smart garage controller at a great value. It offers lots of scheduling options and remote opening and closing. Plus, it works with Google Assistant and Alexa for voice controls.

Arizona Legislature Votes to End License Suspensions for Ticket Debts
Advocates say the legislation would restore an estimated 30,000 driver's licenses.
The Arizona legislature passed a bill last Thursday to end the suspension of driver's licenses for outstanding traffic ticket fines, a move that advocates say will affect roughly 30,000 people in the state.
The bill, S.B. 1551, passed the Arizona House and Senate by unanimous votes and now goes to the desk of Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to be signed into law. The measure would restrict the state from suspending a driver's license due to unpaid civil traffic violations, except for those with commercial driving licenses.
Criminal justice advocates say suspending licenses for unpaid ticket and court debts is overly punitive and counterproductive, since losing a driver's license makes it harder to get to work. The Washington Post estimated in 2018 that 7 million people nationwide had their license to drive suspended for unpaid traffic tickets and court debts. As Reason reported in 2016, nearly 900,000 Virginia residents—roughly 11 percent of the state—had suspended licenses at any given time. The majority of those suspensions were for unpaid court debts.
Lauren Krisai, a senior policy analyst at the Justice Action Network, a criminal justice advocacy group that supported the Arizona legislation, says the new law will retroactively reinstate the licenses of roughly 30,000 Arizonans whose driving privileges were suspended for court debts.
"It's great to see such a sweeping reform that will impact so many lives pass in such a tough state like Arizona, and it's frankly surprising that it was able to get done without any major opposition," Krisai says. "I wish I knew how to recreate this moment with every reform bill as impactful as this bill going forward. Sen. Paul Boyer was a great sponsor and we were grateful to work with him on this."
Arizona is the latest state to roll back license suspensions because of such concerns. Earlier this year, Illinois enacted reforms ending the suspension of driver's licenses for most non-moving violations. Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland all passed similar bills last year.
Many jurisdictions don't take into account whether someone is too poor to pay off their fines, raising constitutional concerns. In 2018, a federal judge in Michigan enjoined the practice when it's applied to the very poor, ruling that suspending licenses without determining the debtors' ability to pay likely violates due process. And in 2017, a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee reinstated the licenses of two residents in what may have been the first ruling of its kind. "Taking an individual's driver's license away to try to make her more likely to pay a fine is not using a shotgun to do the job of a rifle: it is using a shotgun to treat a broken arm," wrote U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger.
Arizona's new law will also expand mitigation options and flexibility for those who can't afford to pay off their fines.
Steven Scharboneau, legislative advocate for Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice, an organization that also supported the bill, said it will "prevent individuals who cannot afford to pay fines or fees from having their driver's licenses stripped from them as punishment."
"Disallowing an earner of a family that is already in a position of financial hardship from driving, especially in a state that is so geographically sprawled, does the people of Arizona no favors," Scharboneau said in a statement. "SB 1551 is a step in the right direction and is an example of how productivity can be increased in Arizona by decreasing harsh punishments that the law currently imposes."

Price: $379.00
Includes: Nissan 350Z 2003-2008 ING Style 1 Piece Polyurethane Front Bumper (37-2091)
Auto enthusiasts and hobbyists demand KBD Body Kits Polyurethane automotive body parts when upgrading, modifying, and repairing their car, truck, or SUV. Here's why:
- INCREDIBLE DURABLITY – KBD Body Kits Polyurethane parts are practically unbreakable. Fiberglass and OEM parts can't compare to the durability and flexibility of our automotive bumpers, body panels and body kits. Cracks, dents, and dings are a worry of the past with KBD Body Kits Polyurethane automotive body parts.
- PRECISE FITMENT – If the part shown on this listing says it is for your car, it will fit. KBD Body Kits Polyurethane parts utilize the highest quality molds and advanced injection molding technologies to ensure proper fitment on your vehicle - Tabs and drilling indentations are included on every part when applicable.
- EASY INSTALLATION – Body shops love to install KBD Body Kits Polyurethane parts on cars, trucks, and SUVs due to the ease of installation and superior quality. Each part comes ready for prep and paint and is manufactured in the United States to ensure the highest quality control. Basic sanding and priming are all that is needed before paint.
- PERSONALIZED STYLE – KBD Body Kits is an iconic brand that represents some of the hottest styles of parts for your vehicle. From sleek to aggressive, we have 100's of styles that will fit your tastes. Our parts can be seen on professional drivers' vehicles all over the world. We take pride in every style we design and produce!
SHIPPING – Our body kits, bumpers, sides skirts and larger products are shipped folded. Do not be alarmed that the product is in a folded fashion; the product will return to its original form. We fold most of our products, so they do not need to be shipped by freight. This saves our customers from paying the tremendous freight shipping costs and having to deal with freight shipping inefficiencies.
UNFOLDING – This can be done several different ways. Exposing the product to a heat source is the key to activating the memory agent within the material of the product, allowing the product to return to original form (there will be no stretch marks or lines on the product from the folding when it unfolds). We have found the following options to be best practices when returning a KBD Body Kits product to its original form:
Option 1: Placing the product in the sun. If you are in a location where the temperature outside is relatively warm, then this option will be the easiest. Simply put the product outside in the direct sunlight and wait until the product has been fully formed back to its original shape. Using a hot ground placement for the product (such as asphalt) will help the process go faster. The time it takes for the product to return to its original shape greatly depends on how hot it is outside and how hot the ground is. We found this process to normally take 15-30 minutes, but it can take a few hours if the temperature outside is not as hot.Option 2: A body shop's heated paint booth. Body shops commonly have heated paint booths, which help in the paint removal process. If your body shop has a heated paint booth, have your body shop place the KBD Body Kits product in the heated paint booth until the product has fully formed back to shape.
It's cold outside and I don't have access to a heated paint booth!No problem. We have other solutions just for you. If you have access to a hair blow dryer, heat gun, or hot water - any of these items can help the product return to its shape. Just be careful, because these items can get extremely hot. USE EXTREME CAUTION!
PAINTING – All of our products can be painted or wrapped. A paint guide will be included with your product. Simply have your painter follow the steps. There are two key steps to remember when painting a KBD Body Kits product:
1. The product must be cleaned extremely well before it can be painted. Our products come with a slight "shine" finish. This "shine" is from a silicone-based finishing solution on our product. Nothing sticks to silicone, so this must be wiped off before the product can be painted (we recommend using acetone). You will know the product is ready for paint when the product has no "shine" (it will be a matte black color).2. Our products will flex if you hit something (like a curb). If you want the paint on our product to flex with the product, (and not chip off) then we recommend adding a flex agent to the paint. This is not necessary, but it is nice not to have to repaint your product if you accidently run into something.
- See the paint guide included with your purchase for the complete painting instructions.
WARRANTY – All of our products are designed, tooled, and manufactured in the USA at our facility in Southern California. Every product we make includes a lifetime warranty. If the product breaks for any reason, we will replace it. Please note that our warranty extends only to the original purchaser, and proof of purchase is required for any warranty claim.
FITMENT – All of our products are designed, tooled and injection molded at our facility in the USA. This means that if there is an issue with a product, we can correct it immediately. Since our products are injection molded, each product comes out the same. Because of this, fitment is not normally an issue - most fitment issues we experience are due to problems with the vehicle itself or improper installation. With that said, we are not perfect. We guarantee fitment of our products, and if we determine that there is a problem with our product (which is causing the fitment issue), we will fix the issue and replace the product.

With handheld devicesbecoming more and more ubiquitous each day and networking having its roots sodeeply embedded in our lives, the world around us is becoming more and morecyber and technologically advanced with each passing day and it's hard to avoidthe threats it entails. Cyber attackers range from sophisticatedhackers to naive teenagers using cyber vulnerabilities to their advantage. Onesuch threat reported as of May 2017, when the world witnessed one of the worstcyber outcries, Wanna Cry Ransomware, a malicious malware that affectedthousands of companies in over 150 countries. Britain's Nation Health Servicewas worst hit by the attack and it also brought many of Spain's top companiesto a halt. This malicious malware first targeted computers functioning onobsolete versions of Microsoft Operating System and then infected other systemson the network. The attack lasted 4 days bringing about an extensive damage ofhundred billion dollars.
Numerous businesses andinstitutions now function solely on technology and share sensitive data andeffectuate transactions over networking. This advancement makes cyber securityindispensable and calls for a robust and standardized solution to remedy technologicalvulnerabilities that can compromise one's identity and privacy and at timescost livelihood. Enlisted are some of the most effective measures to protectyour computer and keep your data intact:· Strong Passwords:Implementing complex and various alpha-numeric combinations for a password canprevent an attack or an unwanted encroachment of your devices to an extent.· Data back-up:Performing regular back-up for your data is a key feature of data security.
Incase our security systems get compromised causing loss of data, we still haveaccess to our data.· Implementing control access and updatingsystems and installing Intrusion Detectors: Restrictingdata and service access to limited authorized personal and controlling physicalapproach to the premise can help keep threats at bay. Also keeping critical data offline and itslimited sharing is crucial. Timely updating our security systems can help usstay one step ahead of the attackers. Intrusion Detectors helps monitor networktraffic and alerts and issues warning on detecting any suspicious activity. · Installing Firewalls, Antivirusprograms: Firewallfilters the incoming and outgoing data on a network and block malicious contentfrom infecting your systems. Also prevents navigating unsecure websites andpotentially threatening content from being downloaded to your computers.
Antivirus programs, on the other hand monitors your systems for any unusualbehavior, traces and destructs any dangerous software or viruses. · Data Encryption: Encryptionadds an extra wall of security to sensitive information stored on a system or anetwork. It employs a systematic algorithm to encrypt data to a code formallycalled ciphertext which can only beread if one has the permitted key or password to access that data , restrictingdata interpretation and manipulation.
· Cybercrime Insurance: Smallor large scale business projects shall issue a cybercrime insurance that cancover for their losses in case of a cyber attack.· OTP(One Time Password): Various business institutions canenforce OTP's to ensure secure financial transactions with customers. OTP's aregenerated by employing various algorithms and they have a limited validityof one transaction/session. OTP's are more secure than staticpasswords as they are not vulnerable to encroachment or accidentalrevelation. · CAPTCHA (Completely Automated PublicTuring Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart): Hackers can employ various webapplications or design specific algorithms to make spurious entries or hoaxregistrations and create a passage to upload malicious content on your systemsor network. CAPTHA is a real-time test that calls for an immediate response toa random distorted piece of information that can only be interpreted by humans,thus differentiating bots and humans. Cloud Computing Security:Cloudcomputing and cloud storage are the latest trends in this world of constantlyevolving web applications and cyber security. The idea is to make data moremobile and accessible and also creating an effective scheme to securely storedata online than on local storage devices.
Cloudcomputing is internet based computing that helps us retrieve various IT based servicesand several other web resources and data by the means of internet. CloudStorage enables seamless data storage on the web on remote databases which canbe accessed anywhere, anytime on any devices with appropriate permission. CloudComputing saves the effort of large data movement and facilitates recovery ondevice destruction, loss or if the device becomes obsolete. Theterm 'cloud' basically stresses on fact the information is available on the 'cloud'i.e. on the web and that one can easily gain access to data and myriad othersoftwares via internet without being physically restricted to a specificlocation to gain access to it.CloudComputing and Storage benefits a lot of businesses and institutions on monetarygrounds as it saves them from the need for a storage infrastructure and devicesthat could cost them in millions otherwise.
Butinternet being so prone to data breaches and hacking, there's raising concernregarding the safety of data stored on clouds and calls for the need of robustsecurity arrangements i.e. Cloud Computing Security. Data not only needssecurity from breaches and hacking but also the notorious employees of theCloud service providers. Therefore it is usually advised to chose your cloudservice providers wisely.Thedemanding question of as to why one should choose Cloud Computing and CloudStorage over our conventional means of data management is because cloud serviceproviders have superior security provisions like firewalls, encryption and VP'sand skilled data experts to deal with any technical casualty.

The director of the Tamaulipas state Policia Ministeriales, identified in press reports only as Hurtado Barrera, escaped from legal custody after being held for investigation for accidentally discharging her weapon in an aircraft in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. According to a news account which appeared on the website of Milenio news daily, the minsterial agent was on board the aircraft at the Ponciano Arriga airport when her weapon discharged, penetrating the deck of the aircraft and hitting an aircraft mechanic in the foot . . .
The victim, identified as Jose Ballesteros, was taken for medical attention,. His wound is not considered life threatening. Sra. Hurtado Barrera was detained and then taken to the headquarters of the Mexican 12th Military Zone, but was later moved to a state prosecutor's office in Ciudad Valles. An hour later, Hurtado Barrera apparently left the office and has not been seen since.
It is unclear in the report if Sra. Hurtado Barrera is to be charged. According to the translation, a state officer accidentally discharging a firearm can be charged, dismissed from their position, or the incident can be dropped.
Sra. Hurtado Barrera has been director general of Tamaulipas Policia Ministeriales since May.

All those who come into contact with the Rosh Hayeshiva, Rav Chaim Tzvi Kakon, and his devotion to his talmidim are able to take home a little bit of that light, demand for excellence and unconditional acceptance and make it a part of themselves.
Many alumni return "home" to replenish their stores of strength and clarity of vision and Reb Isser Lubecki is no exception. An alumnus of Yeshivas Nefesh Dovid, Reb Isser hails from Paris, France and attended Nefesh Dovid for several years before moving on, with the encouragement and blessing of his Rosh Yeshiva, to learn at Yeshivas Oholei Menachem Mendel, also situated in Toronto. He barely knew how to read Chumash at the beginning yet was determined and spent tireless hours each day to achieve the incredible accomplishment of completing the Shas as well as Nach.
Reb Isser and his wife and family are in shlichus in Paris where he is actively involved in the Chevra Kadisha and gives shiurim among his other myriad duties. Reb Isser had a special, close relationship with his mentor, Rav Samuel Azimov, OB"M, Shliach in Paris, France. He currently maintains a personal connection with Rav Korsia, the Chief Rabbi of France. He is returning to Canada on his way to the Chabad Shlichus convention in New York.
During his stopover in Toronto, he will be commemorating the siyum on the entire Shas and Tanach at the home of his very first Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Kakon. Many rabbanim and askanim are expected to be attending this very unusual event to partake in the nachas and sweetness of the hard earned and well deserved Torah of a shining young man with hearing loss who is well on his way to securing his place among the dedicated shluchim of Chabad.

To create any meaningful and significant change, as people we have to get out of our own way. In this miniature retrospective I'm going to give you some insight into what this has meant for me over the past weeks and months, as a person, as an entrepreneur and as a dreamer.
If you're a regular reader here, then by now my story is old news to you. Some of the things I've been grappling with will be old news to you. You will have read The Entrepreneur's Haiku, which I penned last month. You will have read about my concern about my blank mind and the re-emergence of burnout. You will have seen me reflect on being a technician, and – much earlier in the year – reflections on how to be successful you have to be able to be uncomfortable.
In reading back over these titles, the trajectory may reveal itself to you. It suggests that I've been facing my own difficulties; that I've been working in my own business flat out to try and get it to do the things it needs to do in order to get some lift. It suggests that I've been mired in my own little world to some extent, and dealing with my own personal issues in trying to do this.
My last seriously reflective article here was about a lightning bolt of pure inspiration. In that I talked about how I experience, albeit rarely, a compulsive inspiration that grabs me by the collarbones and won't let me know until I write it enough to get it out.
But where did that come from? What's going on? And what kinds of shift are going on?
Then, just three days ago, I published this tweet:
Have committed to some huge shifts for the next three months. All of them involving me getting out of my own way. #CloseYourEyesAndLeap
— Leticia Mooney (@biodagar) August 6, 2017
It appears I've reached the point in this year's personal growth where I've just decided to trust whatever unfolds next. And some people have been curious about what that means. Where am I going, actually? What is going on? How have I gotten here?
The background
This year, my company turns four. In the past three years, I've blogged fairly consistently about that. To cut what is a very long story short, and potentially do it an injustice, this is the third business I've had and the first I've taken seriously. First, my goal was to work out what failed me previously, so that I wouldn't repeat them. Then, my goal was to get enough money to pay a month's rent, because my entire downside was enough to cover food and rent for four weeks. Then, to cover another month. And then, to have a consistent enough income to allow me to look up and think about what I was actually doing (and get enough business to cover the risk of losing Client #1).
Early in the piece I fell into the South Australian startup community, and gained access to ideas, thinking, people, and resources that simply hadn't existed for me before. It got me thinking more seriously about what I wanted to achieve.
As many of us do, I set unrealistic goals that were largely wishes and dreams. But at some point in the past three years, I came to understand that it's unlikely I'd be employed by someone else again.
Then, in the past two years – maybe less – I came to an agreement with myself to take my work seriously. That agreement was based on my glowing golden goal of being able to create a sustainable business, one that gives back to the economy, employs people who aren't as comfortable with risk as I am, and to grow one of the next generation of stable, loved companies.
The frustrating thing for me was that I found myself growing a nice little downside, but haven't achieved meaningful financial growth in terms of turnover. In fact, the second year of the business was, all things considered, a pretty shitful year financially. I lost a major client, fumbled and fucked around, and had to front up to my accountant to answer her disbelieving, "What happened??"
I mumbled something to her about the vision being long, and one shitty year is a blip on the horizon and I was sorting out what I was doing.
What I was doing was working out the product set, the product-market fit, trying to specialise, trying to niche-ify, and battling the age-old question: Is this worth it? Isn't it easier just to get a job? Wouldn't it be nice to have holiday pay?
But as I got through to acknowledge the third birthday of the business, I realised that I had it pretty good. I had an assistant for the first time ever (she sent birthday balloons, bless her heart). I realised that I was in this heart and soul. And I realised that I needed to do things differently.
In my head, that meant systems.
So I went back to the drawing board. My vision for 2017 was to create a sustainable business, one that is driven by the systems within it, and to have this in place by October. In my grandiose way, I also wanted to spend one day per month in another city, networking. I wanted to be doing more creative marketing things. I wanted to do a whole lot.
The problem was, I was looking at everything the wrong way: Back-to-front, upside-down, and through the wrong lens. All the battles I thought I had were imaginary.
I thought the challenges were financial. The challenge was actually me.
For the best part of the year, I've been striving to get a handle on the financials of the business. Right now, you and I are sharing an intimate space; you're looking into my life and I've given you an expectation of honesty by giving you a bit of a fly-by-night insight into the last few years.
The solemn truth is, I have no idea how my company is structured. I can't explain it to you. I have a trust, and I have a company, which is the trustee for the trust. I can't tell you, beyond the most simplest of directions of actual cash, where the money ends up and how it gets there, and why. What I thought I had, which was a structure that would scale out to multiple businesses, was explained to me as being a glorified sole trader structure.
When I heard that, I wondered how the vision had fundamentally gotten missed by my most trusted person: My accountant. She's an amazing accountant, it's true, but this started to make me wonder.
The wonder started when a financial planner I had sought out asked me the question, because I'd never properly considered it before.
I went to the financial planner for a couple of reasons. One is that I desperately want income protection insurance from someone who isn't just going to sell me something because they get a commission for it. The other is because I want to get good advice about what to do with my cash, both now and over the long-term.
After months and months of being dicked around, I was recommended to a guy. Who I was then put off after he he asked why I'd bother having a family trust if I'm not going to have kids, and seemed more intent on revealing holes in my knowledge than in helping me. Evidently my idea of 'family' is far larger than this dude's idea of family, and my understanding of asset protection didn't occur to him.
So, income protection insurance seems like the golden, imaginary goose to me. I still don't have it; I've been just dicked around. And the people I talked to were just not even on the same level as me.
Granted, I'm a pretty crazy kind of thinker. But realistically, I just need my fucking income covered. I still haven't got it so if you're reading this and you know someone who won't fuck around and can help, leave me a comment.
At the time, I felt that what I didn't need was someone who doesn't know me questioning every goddamned thing about my vision. I was pissed. And then I was grateful.
I was grateful because I hadn't realised I couldn't explain my setup. So now I had a mission: Work it out. So I sent what I thought was a reasonable request to my gorgeous accountant and asked for a flow chart. She responded: I don't understand the question. She wouldn't give me a straight answer, and her emails were single sentences, uncommunicative missives that appeared like she was trying to answer a question I hadn't asked yet.
So when I stood back and looked at things, I felt like I was completely out of control of everything I had imagined was stable.
That's why, in my mind, the battle was money. I felt that I needed to sort out this one little thing, and then I would understand things more completely. Then, once I had systems in place I would be in a good position to start bringing people into the business. This was at about the time that I started experiencing blank mind.
Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I grew some balls. I took some serious cash out of my savings, and brought in a coach for three months.
Enter, the coach
About two months ago, I negotiated my way into a coaching relationship with a coach who is on the other side of the world. I know fuck-all about him, beyond the fact that he's a professional coach, and we clicked. People often ask who my coach is because they might know him. I sought out a coach that wasn't local; one that was not connected to me, to my network, to my business, to my market. I wanted someone who was totally separate and could just work with me without prejudice.
In our first conversations, he helped me to see two things: The first, that I was heading straight for a nasty burn-out. The second, that I wasn't finishing things. Then he set me some simple challenges to get back on the right path. The burn-out and all the work was directly because I wasn't finishing things. If I finished things to 100%, the pressure would be off and I'd have space again.
So for 30 days, I set a goal to finish absolutely everything to 100%. Not just at work, but in my life. That meant everything from cleaning to doing the dishes, to all the little jobs in a day. I figured that what's in my business is in my life and vice versa, so working on one meant also working on the other.
My coach subsequently helped me to see that, while I'm excellent at problem solving for external things, I'm not so good at doing that for myself. That I had, in fact, an almost complete blockage. I couldn't explain it. I didn't understand it.
And then in another conversation, he said to me that what I was talking about sounded to him like I just don't back myself. That I have dreams and don't believe I can achieve any of them, actually. So the result is sabotage.
That stopped me in my tracks. It was like someone had turned a light on: He was completely right. It hit me so deep that a wall cracked and tears fell, and for the first time in years I was facing a truth of myself I'd tried to ignore.
That distrust of myself ran deep. It was a result of being emotionally battered over my 20s. It was a result of subconsciously listening to all of the negative bullshitters in my life. It was a result of letting other people's attitudes about my dreams take root. I'd let them take root. I'd been pretending I was doing this great, amazing thing. And the whole time I was actually betting on failure. The net result was that I was fiddling around in things that didn't matter; my focus was awesome, but in the small shitty things that didn't count. But I felt like they counted. I felt like I was fighting the right battle.
What I should have been fighting was myself.
When I emerged from this daze, I chewed on a decision for four days. The decision was:
- Do I want to keep doing this work, which I am realistically talented at doing? Or,
- Do I let it go and change?
In chewing on the decision, I had a conversation with my beautiful husband about it. I presented it to him like, this might change how I live my life and that will impact you. He said, 'I wouldn't want to live a life that doesn't change, ever. That sounds like death to me. I think you should do what you want to do. But if it was me, I'd choose the change.'
He doesn't realise it, but somehow that was like getting permission to make significant change; one that might change how we live.
Subsequently, some amazing things happened. There is a substory that you won't be aware of, but I've had my radar out looking for mentors for years. Like, four or five years. The kinds of people who can show me a bigger path, one that they've already trod. For an age, I've felt like I'm that person to other people, and I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that I was feeling goddamned hard done by. Where are my fucking mentors? I'd whine to myself at night. Why am I giving so much of myself to every person and getting nothing in return? I'd whimper, festering on this negativity like it was warranted. So much for this 'giving-gets-you-stuff' idea, I'd quietly rage, while connecting people to opportunities and ideas every single day.
When I unlocked the reason for the barrier, that narrative stopped. And I found myself face to face with someone giving me real advice, for what felt like the first time.
In looking for a financial planner, and a new accountant (which I'd decided I needed) I'd reached out to a connection at BDO to ask if we could get together so I could learn more about what they offer. A person in my network had suggested that this person was the entire reason for the growth of their business, so I should go talk to him.
Over breakfast, I was asked the strategic questions. What's the offering, what's the price point, who are the ideal clients, how does it scale, what's the idea, where am I going. Over the next hour, we had a conversation and I was gently asked some more questions.
And then I was given a roadmap. For the first time, someone explained to me, in terms that I understood, how my pricing needs to be established in order to enable that growth. For the first time, someone explained to me, in terms that I understood, how that revenue cycle is going to run through a growth pattern and how to prepare for that. For the first time, someone gave me an indication of how to test whether the problem of growth is the business, or me.
And then I was gifted the most amazing gift of them all: The promise of a further catch-up to talk about how I've enabled that shift. Then, in conversations with my coach, who is now my accountability buddy, I told him I want to be treated like an elite athlete and for him to push me to stretch.
I've begun to understand that I'm a high-functioning kind of person. And I've started to own that as a positive thing, to own where I'm going, to be willing to stretch. It's not often I get to play intellectual chess, and I need it in order to grow. That's how I ended up in a conversation with my coach just last week, who advised that for the next little while he's going to keep piling things on until I can't do them all in a week; and I told him that I'm high-functioning so he's going to have a challenge on his hands.
This is the kind of condition I need if I'm going to achieve the next level. Personal challenge, business challenge, and someone with even higher expectations than me.
So where did that tweet come from?
To remind you, the tweet in question is:
Have committed to some huge shifts for the next three months. All of them involving me getting out of my own way. #CloseYourEyesAndLeap
— Leticia Mooney (@biodagar) August 6, 2017
The tweet came from putting things in motion to get me to the next level within 90 days.
What does that next level mean? It means that I have documented my entire position description and tasks as of right now, and have a plan (one that I've started executing) to change it by 70% within three months. That means that my ad-hoc, occasional virtual assistant is going to start doing a significant amount more work and I have committed capital to enable that to happen. It also means that I've headhunted some seriously amazing writing talent, and have a plan to bring the first person in that team on board within three months.
While this takes place, I've been doing the hard work of financial modelling to work out not only which market is the right playground, but how I can achieve growth while also spending more on talent. I've achieved clarity about the right clients – and the wrong ones. I can now tell you with clarity what their minimum spend requirement is, and why; who the right clients are; and what kinds of things they say that will trigger you to refer them to us.
Within three months, my intention is to spend a significant amount more time in business development and account management than in actually doing the work.
The lesson is that there is only one choice you need to make.
That choice is: Do you want to be the amazing talent? Or do you want to give opportunities to amazing talent?
The truth is, if you want to be the shiny person deploying your mad skills, performing on the stage at conferences, talking about the great things you're doing in your job, and growing a profession, you need to be an employee. If you want to give opportunities to amazing talent, to grow economies, to grow people, you need to be a boss.
You can't do both.
You can't be both.
Everybody knows it intellectually, few people know it viscerally. You can't grow a business if you're in it; and you can't scale a company if you're not willing to let it go and be handled by others.
In a sense, the greatest barrier to company growth is your own ego. I've learned this the hard way just in the past week. Committing to writing a plan to give my tasks to someone else meant committing to it. It's not an idea any more. It's not a wish any more. It's a concrete, focused hand-over of work, visioned right through to the end. I know where my greatest value lies now. Yes, I'm a talented writer. Yes, I'm a talented strategist. But it's not my glory to have, because my dream is bigger than that. My clear, documented vision is, in fact, 100 years long (I know it beyond that, but haven't written it). Scoff at that if you will; I couldn't give a fuck. I know where I'm going and why, and why it counts.
Scaling out of a solo business requires you you get the fuck out of your own way. I learned, just in working out the low-hanging fruit to give away in the first month, that the question is not can I do this? The question is, is this the right thing for me to be doing?
And so, I pause at the precipice. Trusting in The Unfolding, I can see the light at the top of that mountain over there, shining out over the valley in the dark. The parts of the path that I can actually see are only about five metres in front of me. But I know the path is there, and I know I'm capable enough to follow it. For the first time, I trust that I know where I'm going and that when I need to know it, I'll know how to get there.
And for the first time, I have the right people in my corner when I need them. In a sense, it's not closing your eyes and leaping. It's trusting that in the void you know the path, when you need to know it.
If you're interested in my vlogging the journey daily, drop a comment and let me know. I'm playing with the idea right now; if there's enough interest, I will. 🙂

8 Steps to Better Posture
We all know that sitting at a computer for hours on end is not good for our posture, but what can we do about it?
It's hard to break the habit of sitting in the same position for hours at a time. Not only does this wreak havoc on our posture, but it can also lead to injuries in the hand/arm, shoulder, neck, and back.
This guide provides helpful exercises and stretches that you can do throughout the day to improve your posture and prevent injuries.
Exercising properly, but still have poor posture?
If you're sitting at the computer for more than an hour at a time, you're putting yourself at risk of developing injuries of the hand/arm, shoulder, neck, and back.
Obviously these injuries don't occur immediately. These types of injuries take time to form, due to gradual adaptation of your body to unnatural position. Essentially you're molding your body.
That being said, there are things you can do to counteract any problems from cropping up and get better posture (we suggest this program on ClickBank).
Habits for Better Posture
1) Strength training the abdominal muscles and lower back muscles.
2) Take a break every 30 minutes. Stand up, walk around, shake your body out and get a glass of water.
3) Stretch the hamstrings (back of the leg) and quadriceps (front of the leg) lightly. Sitting for long periods of time causes some tightness in the legs which can lead to lower back tightness or pain.
4) Take some deep breaths that fill your lower abdomen (stomach). Often while sitting at the computer for long periods of time, people tend to lean forward or slouch, leading to more shallow breaths and reduced oxygen intake.
5) Sit up straight with chin up. If possible, have your screen on level with your eye- line to avoid jutting your head out, leading to stress in the neck and spine.
6) Sit on a swiss ball (stability ball). I only use it once in a while, but some people swear by it. Sitting on the stability ball forces your body to contract the posture muscles so that you don't fall over.
It also strengthens the "core" muscles.
7) Foam roller. I love this thing. (Our pick to buy on Amazon). I foam- roll my full body twice per day and sometimes more if I'm sitting for long periods of time.
Eric Cressey demonstrates how to use a foam roller:
8) Arrange your work station properly. I'm not a work station expert, so I'll leave you with Cornell Universities' Ergonomic Guidelines for Arranging a Computer Workstation- 10 Steps for Users.
Keep in mind, you may have a lean body, but if you've got bad posture, it offsets your entire presentation.
Two Bonus Tips on Better Posture
9) Strengthen the scapular retractors – "Sit up straight!" The muscles that control trunk posture? The scapular retractors – trapezius, rhomboids, etc. – allow you to pull back your shoulder blades, bringing you into "proud chest" position.
In sedentary folks, there's considerable weakness and atrophy in these muscles. A judicious dose of heavy rows and reverse flyes (or rear delt raises) can work wonders for improving the strength of the retractors.
Of course, we can get seriously fancy and do things like the Hise shrug to hit the scapular retractors hard, but seldom-seen and esoteric exercises are the subject of a later blog post…
10) Stretch the internal rotators – the two largest, strongest muscles in the torso (latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major) both function as internal rotators of the humerus.
Translated into plain English, this means that when the lats and pecs get tight, your shoulders get pulled forward and your upper back rounds – voila, instant "Nintendo posture!"
Stretches for Better Posture
The door stretch. Simply stand in the middle of a doorway, position your arms out to your sides at shoulder height, hold onto the doorjamb, and lean forward slowly. Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then lean back.
The swimmer stretch. Stand with your hands clasped together behind your back, retract your shoulder blades ("pinch an orange between your shoulder blades") and push your hands down towards the floor. It's ok to arch your back slightly. Hold for a few seconds, then release.

Here Fishy Fishy....
So are you asking yourself what she is going to do now with fish tank tube do you really want to know? Sure you do and I bet once you make one you will keep on making these. They are really fun, easy to do and all ways are a fantastic seller at craft shows, Bracelets....Made with paper scraps and fish tank air tubing.
Here is where the story starts, I saw an entry last month in the digital contest at Paper Trey and it took my breath away. (Turns out she was one of the winners of the stamp sets, don't have to wonder why here is the example Capture the Moment WCMD winners.)
So I looked around SCS for a way to make it and found Marriam she told me how to get it done. Take a peak at her wonderful design.
However I changed gears a tad from the way these were made I make all my bracelets with toggle clasps, crimp beads and wire. I do not like to use the stretchy cord, but you can if it is your preference. I have not had any luck with the knots even when they are super glued, beads are all ways flying when I use stretch cord.
So to make my bracelet you will need...
Toggle Clasp
Crimp Bead
Beading Wire
Fish Tank Air Tubing (Wal-Mart)
Scrap DP
Glass Beads
Spacer Beads
Jewelry Pliers (to cut the wire and crimp the crimp bead)
Beading board (not necessary but is wonderful to have if you make a bunch of beaded items like I do, shown in the above photo.)
To make your paper bead cut scraps of DP no longer than a toothpick and 1/2" wide. Roll the paper around the toothpick and insert the paper into the fish tank tubing. Cut your beads the length you wish them to be.
Standard bracelet length is 7 to 7 1/2" I am far from standard and make mine 8 to 8 1/2" in length.
Step 1 cut a 10" length of beading wire
Step 2 put on a crimp bead
Step 3 put on one end of the toggle and bring the wire back through the crimp bead
Step 4 Crimp the crimp bead with the Jewelry Pliers and you have one end completed.
Step 5 string on your beads
Step 6 crimp bead
Step 7 other end of toggle and bring wire back through the crimp bead
Step 8 crimp the bead and you have your bracelet.
I so wanted to show you in photos how this is done but I do not have the right camera for such detailed shots so if you have questions leave them on this post or email me firstname.lastname@example.com, I would love to see what you make with this.

Great job with yours Sara. I used elastic and they don't look half as elegant as yours do with the toggle. TFS

Body Paragraph 2: TS: Cisneros uses oppressive male characters to represent the idea of a totalitarian government within the community, and the many restrictions to freedom that women are given in the community.P1: Rafaela Who Drinks…: Rafaela's lifestyle represents that of a woman who has been trapped into the female stereotype and controlled by an abusive and neglectful husband. She is literally trapped in her own house, as her husband locks her in, "Rafaela who is still young but getting old from leaning out the window so much, gets locked indoors because her husband is afraid Rafaela will run away.", "Rafaela leans out the window and leans on her elbow and dreams her hair is like Rapunzel's." – Rafaela's actions are dictated by her husband, and yet she still longs for something more. Her leaning by the window is an allusion to Rapunzel trapped in the tower before she was rescued, only in this community no one is coming to save Rafaela.P2: Linoleum Roses: The idea of a woman sitting by the window is ridiculed, as Sally cannot even do that under her husband's control. Her hopes for a loving husband have been destroyed and replaced by a man who restricts her freedom and makes her afraid to voice her true thoughts.
"She says she is in love, but I think she did it to escape.", "Except he won't let her talk on the telephone. And he doesn't let her look out the window. And he doesn't like her friends, so nobody gets to visit her unless he is working.", "She sits at home because she is afraid to go outside without his permission." – Sally, although newly married, is already experiencing what many other women in the community's lives are like.
Her being afraid to even leave the house strengthens the idea that she has no free will, and her actions are influenced heavily by her husband.P3: No Speak English: Mamacita's lifestyle and her restriction to the household, due to her size and her husband's control of her, is another representation of a man's grip on the actions of a woman in the community and strengthens the representation of men as the form of a totalitarian government in the community. "Whatever her reasons, whether she is fat, or can't climb the stairs, or is afraid of English, she won't come down.", "She sits all dat by the window and plays the Spanish radio…", "Sometimes the man gets disgusted. He starts screaming and you can hear it all the way down the street." – Mamacita being afraid of "English" could be symbolism for the fact that if she disobeys her husband he will scream at her in English, therefore she has associated English with her husband's rage.Body Paragraph 3:TS: Cisneros enhances the idea of the dystopian elements within the community by presenting characters with a strong desire to escape and find a better life than the ones they lead here.P1: Cathy the Queen of Cats: Cathy's desire to leave Mango Street and her dreams of moving to France display the idea that the community and living on Mango Street is undesirable.
"That's when we move away. Got to. Then as if she forgot I just moved in, she says the neighborhood is getting bad.", "Cathy's father will have to fly to France one day and find her great great distant grand cousin on her father's side and inherit the family house.", "In the meantime they'll just have to move a little farther north from Mango Street.
" – Cathy's determination and confidence that she will move away from Mango Street without any hesitation suggest that she is not fond of the neighborhood. Her mentioning that the neighborhood is getting bad is also direct evidence that the community is undesirable.P2: Marin: Marin believes that she will move away from Mango Street and live with her boyfriend in Puerto Rico, however as time goes by she realises that she has become trapped in Mango Street, which only increases her desire to leave Mango Street. "Marin's boyfriend is in Puerto Rico. She shows us his letters and makes us promise not to tell anybody they're getting married when she goes back to P.R.
", "Marin says that if she stays here next year, she's going to get a real job downtown because that's where the best jobs are, since you always get to look beautiful and et to wear nice clothes and can meet someone in the subway who might marry you and take you to live in a big house far away.", "Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by herself, is singing the same song somewhere. I know. Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life.
" – Marin waiting for "a star to fall" is an allusion to the shooting star that grants wishes in old folklore, which implies that Marin's greatest wish is to leave Mango Street.P3: Alicia Who Sees Mice: Alicia is a character with such devotion to leaving Mango Street that even though she has taken up her mother's place in the household she is still willing to work towards leaving Mango Street, even though her father insists that she must submit to the female stereotype and stay in the kitchen making tortilla wraps. "A woman's place is sleeping so she can wake up early with the tortilla star…", "Alicia, who inherited her mama's rolling pin and sleepiness, is young and smart and studies for the first time at the university", "A woman's place is sleeping so she can wake up early with the tortilla star…", "Two trains and a bus, because she doesn't want to spend her whole life in a factory or behind a rolling pin." – The idea of her spending her whole life behind a rolling pin or a factory indicates the two possible outcomes when living in Mango Street, both of which are regarded as undesirable.Conclusion:Cisneros' use of the female stereotype, oppressive male characters, and the desire to escape, to represent dystopian elements in 'The House On Mango Street' strengthen the meaningfulness of Esperanza's ability to create a better life for herself and to escape the dystopia-like Mango Street.

RECOLA: REcursive Computation of One-Loop Amplitudes
We present the Fortran95 program Recola for the perturbative computation of next-to-leading-order transition amplitudes in the Standard Model of particle physics. The code provides numerical results in the 't Hooft–Feynman gauge. It uses the complex-mass scheme and allows for a consistent isolation of resonant contributions. Dimensional regularization is employed for ultraviolet and infrared singularities, with the alternative possibility of treating collinear and soft singularities in mass regularization. Recola supports various renormalization schemes for the electromagnetic and a dynamical Nf-flavour scheme for the strong coupling constant. The calculation of next-to-leading-order squared amplitudes, summed over spin and colour, is supported as well as the computation of colour- and spin-correlated leading-order squared amplitudes needed in the dipole subtraction formalism.

This report reviews and investigates requirements for effective communication by motor vehicle signal systems. An operational analysis of communication needs is made by means of analysis of the gamut of possible conflicts taking into account the relative incidence with which certain conflicts lead to accident. A basic signal set is defined following this analysis. A survey has been made of current regulations in Australia and elsewhere and a survey of the signals of 29 of most popular vehicles established the nature of current practices in Australia. Comments and recommendations are made on the form and manner of specification of requirements for vehicle signals. An extensive discussion on possible improvements to the signal system follows. This is based primarily on the conflict analysis, current practices and information in the literature but is supported in part by some field observations which are reported in the appendices. Photometric requirements for signals are derived from the work of Fisher and Cole and the conflict analysis. Detailed recommendations are made for intensity and luminance requiremnts for all classes of signals. A total of 44 recommendations are made for the improvement of the vehicle signal system.

Question about Qantas Frequent Flyer program
hi guy i need a bit of info about qantas frequent flyer program.
Im a small business owner and wishing to obtain and use an qantas business credit card to pump up my points.
with using the points to gain flights is it possible to earn status credits on redeemed frequent flyer points flights?
and just say i use $20k a month on expenses with the card and earn 240,000 points a year is that alot to fly around for free?
thanks guys
You don't earn Status Credits on award flights unless you use the Any Seat Award which is usually alot more points... but it is debatable as to whether that really matters if you use your points to fly Business Class.
256,000 points gets you to London return in Business... So you're well on the way if you manage to earn 240,000 each year.
thanks for the info and yes its alot im trying to mange my accounts with just a credit card payment on every expenese transaction might aswell get a rewards each purcahse.
Here is pretty good bet mate:
$1.5 = 1 QFF point
Points from all cards in the facility can be credited to one ff account ie yours.
Unlimited points earning.
Hey Michael, if you have too many points sitting in your account and you're interested in boosting your status credit to bring you up to Gold or Platinum, I have a suggestion for you.
Redeem Domestic Business Any Seat Award Tickets, particularly itineraries that require a stopover (* a stopover would usually earn you extra status credit).
Sample Itinerary: Sydney to Perth (via Adelaide). A return trip costs about 106,000 points in May. This trip will give you 280 status credit and 13,000 points in return. So you are effectiely using about 90,000 points to get 280 status credit. A return busines SYD-PER trip (without ADL stopover) will only give you160 status credit.
Hi Guest, join in the discussion on Question about Qantas Frequent Flyer program

The low budget experimental art film, 'Rogue One' seems to be doing quite well at present having made $790m internationally on its $200m budget and is still going strong and proves that the December release spot is proving a highly lucrative one for Disney. However the next Star Wars spin off about a young Han Solo which starts filming next month (February 2017) is intended for a May 2018 release but it seems that they want to make Christmas the Star Wars month and are looking to push it back to December 2018. Quite whether this will happen is anyone's guess as it will be up against some proper competition in the form of the first Avatar sequel which has been almost 10 years in the making. Who will blink first and move their release date?
Tragically the recent passing of Carrie Fisher has had a knock on effect on Star Wars IX where she was tied into a three film deal. Though she had finished filming her role in Star Wars VIII and it will be released December 2017 as expected she had not begun filming her role in the last film and consequently it's expected that the film is undergoing dramatic rewrites. Quite whether we will see her image in CGI form as with Rogue One – who knows?
As with all major films the studios take out insurance for the unexpected (accidents, bad weather etc) and the Star Wars films are no different and Fisher's tragic unexpected death has meant a claim has been instigated which will see an insurance payout believed to be up to $50m for Disney.

Still in the file rescue & recovery process plus learning Windows 7 which I haven't had any problems adapting to it from XP. Is there a electronic version of Hoarders by any chance? I can't believe how much cyber crap I have all over the place and since I am not the most organized bastard on this planet, you can imagine the kind of mess of files I have.

Trooper Cunningham
Trooper Cunningham rushed to the vehicle and discovered that the passenger was not breathing and had no pulse. He then removed the passenger from the vehicle and began administering CPR.

Holiday Luncheon News.
Sadly, our plans for the 2020 Holiday Luncheon have been cancelled. At this time it's not certain if Morgan Run could even legally host the event! And until a vaccine is in wide distribution, the Guild cannot in good conscience ask knitters to gather in such a large group.
The good news is that we are well ahead of the curve with plans for 2021! We have our date set with Morgan Run – December 6, 2021 – and the entire 2020 team has agreed to carry on. More help is always appreciated, either during the course of the year or on the day of the event. Contact Sydnie Wauson if you'd like to be part of next year's planning.

The Epic Games Store launched a little while ago, and in order to attract a bunch of new customers Epic vowed to give away a free game every two weeks throughout the entirety of 2019. The current game on offer is Axiom Verge, so if you're interested in a bit of Metroidvania action, you should head on over to the Epic Games Store before this part of the promotion ends on February 21st.
I haven't played Axiom Verge myself, but I have heard a great deal of good things about it, so if you're a fan of the original Metroid or the genre as a whole, it might just be worth checking out. After all, it is entirely free! The one thing you should know before diving in is that Axiom Verge is a rather tricky game, so do make sure to approach it with a bit of patience, lest you find yourself dying over and over again.
You can learn a bit more about Axiom Verge, as well as follow its developers moving forward, over at the official website. And just for good measure, allow me to leave you with one of the trailers. Have fun!

Pompano Beach Cultural Center Presents 100 Years of Comedy
You can celebrate 100 years of comedy at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center in a fun night of laughs and entertainment featuring Lenny Dave.
Dave is a nationally recognized comedy historian and humorist and he will be highlighting a Century's worth of funny men and women during his show "100 Years of Comedy!" on Wednesday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center. Tickets are $30 pre-sale and $35 at the door; Pompano Beach residents $25, Seniors $20. Learn more at ccpompano.org or call 954-545-7800.
If you enjoyed the greatest comedians of the 20thcentury, including greats like Jack Benny; Lucille Ball; Bob Hope; Laurel & Hardy; George Burns & Gracie Allen; Groucho Marx; Mae West; Charlie Chaplin;Jimmy Durante; Sid Caesar; Red Skelton; Carol Burnett, Milton Berle; and so many other superstar comedians from the 20th century, this show is worth checking out.
All these great humorists and more, will be featured in an evening event aiming to bring back some of the nostalgic memories of your favorite comedians along with musical skits associated with them.
"Comedians, especially those from what is referred to as the Golden Age of Comedy, played an invaluable role in helping Americans endure the Great Depression and two world wars," said Lenny. "In the 1950s and 60s, the next generation of comedians helped us confront a tidal wave of societal change. All of the great comedians serve as the roots and branches on the comedy tree. They make us laugh; they entertain us; they make us think."
Lenny will be accompanied on the piano by Bob Vogel. Vogel has entertained audiences nationally for decades with his musical skills, wit and warmth. Together, Lenny and Bob take great pride in presenting an evening of nostalgia and comedy.
Despite similiarities in names, Dave has little in common with Lenny Bruce. This show will be filled with good, clean fun.
"We are excited to bring 100 Years of Comedy! to the Cultural Center," said Phyllis Korab, Cultural Affairs Director. "Lenny has garnered rave reviews from critics and fans nationwide, and we look forward to bringing this night of laughter and memories to Pompano Beach."
Pompano Beach Cultural Center is located at 50 W. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach, FL 33060.

Check Your Pockets Right Now For This Rare Change. If You Have 1 Of These You Could Be $300 Richer!
I don't know about you, but carrying around heavy change in my wallet, is both cumbersome and annoying. Periodically, I empty it out and put it in a jar, and never look back. In fact I have jars of coins all over my house.
This story has me thinking twice about ignoring that change! You don't have to be a coin collector to have something of value just sitting there; there are many older coins still out there being used, that have a value far greater than you would think.
Here are some examples of what you should look for:
~ Unbelievably, a grease smudge existed in a coin pressing machine in Kansas, that produced a group of now rare quarters, each of which is worth $100 today!
Image: US Mint
~ The state of Wisconsin pressed a series of quarters in 2004, that had a flaw. If you look at the front left leaf, you will see an extra line. Today, the following coins are unbelievably worth $300!
Image via: Youtube
~ During WWII there was a need to preserve copper. As such, the United States printed steel pennies in 1943. Their worth today? $10 each!!
Image via: US Mint
~ Check to see if you have any half dollars that were printed between 1948 to 1963. With Benjamin Franklin's face on the front? They are each worth $125 today!
Image via: US Mint
~ If you are fortunate enough to have a silver quarter printed between 1932 and 1964, you are $65 richer!
