In line with the Government of Vietnam's priority for addressing the remaining "pockets of poverty" in the country and UNDP's priority to promote pro-poor policies, this project will strengthen the capacities of the Committee on Ethnic Minority Affairs (CEMA) and 3 selected provincial Departments on Ethnic Minority Affairs (DEMA). A recent capacity assessment of CEMA and its provincial representations confirmed the existence of several capacity constraints that prevent the agency from performing it tasks efficiently and effectively. This project will address the following areas of capacity constraints that were identified in the assessment:

A recent capacity assessment of CEMA and its provincial representations confirmed the existence of several capacity constraints that prevent the agency from performing it tasks efficiently and effectively. This project will address the following areas of capacity constraints that were identified in the assessment
The overall objective of the project is to encourage adoption of socially and environmentally responsible business behaviour among businesses operating in Viet Nam. This is to be achieved through promoting the United Nations Global Compact (CG) initiative and facilitating innovative partnerships among the private sector, public sector and civil society in Viet Nam, with the goal to create sustainable development. The project contributes to equitable and inclusive growth and supports the national implementation of a number of international agreements and conventions that relate directly to business activities.
SLGP implements a range of innovations linked to local government planning, budgeting and management of development resources in four pilot provinces. It does so in accordance with the existing national policy framework, as defined by laws and other statutory regulations.
The objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the socio-economic impact of land policy on rural development and recommend new policies aimed at achieving the Government's goal of promoting sustainable economic development in rural areas. The project will strengthen the Government's policy analysis capacity by engaging officials from a number of agencies together with Vietnamese and international experts.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has established a Policy Advisory Group (PAG) to provide high-quality and independent policy advice directly to the Minister of Finance and other senior leaders of the ministry. The PAG is responsible for establishing the basic infrastructure for policy analysis within the ministry, and to develop policy analysis and capacity within other departments and affiliated agencies of MOF.
This project will contribute to the UN One Plan's Outcome 1: "social and economic development policies, plans and laws support equitable and inclusive growth and conform to the values and goals of the Millennium Declaration and other relevant international agreements and conventions" and the Country Programme Output 1.10 "knowledge increased and policy options identified to promote more pro-poor public finance policies that take into account the impacts of trade liberalisation and financial reforms".
It has been shown that VHLSS misses an important proportion of potentially vulnerable households in the cities (unregistered migrants), partly due to inappropriate sampling techniques for urban areas. Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh Cities have attempted to properly identify those poor households: Ha Noi Department of Labour War Invalids and Social Affairs conducted 'reviews' of the list of poor households among the households with regular residence registrations (KT1 and KT2) in concurrence to MOLISA guidelines and the city poverty line. In Ho Chi Minh City, attempts were made to capture not only household with regular residence, but also households with temporary residence registration (KT3). Nevertheless, none of these initiatives tried to identify seasonal workers (KT4) or simply unregistered short or long term migrants.
Viet Nam has been making great efforts to achieve rapid and sustainable development with the objective of transforming the country into an industrialized and modernized one by 2020. The country is expected to access middle income status at the end of the current 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) in 2010.
Building on the success of the Project VIE 01/025 "Institutional Reform for Business Development" which supported the drafting process of the Enterprise Law and the Investment Law, this project aims to improve the effectiveness of the implementation and enforcement of these new laws through support to the Task Force on Implementation of the Enterprise Law and the Investment Law.
The Republic of Finland and UNDP Vietnam cooperation under this is to implement, and disseminate results of, the Baseline Survey 2011 for "Social-Economic Development Program for Most Hardship Communes in the Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas" (P135). Through the Baseline Survey 2011, this project aims to provide information and analysis necessary for assessing the progress and impacts of the 135P over the period of 2005-2010, as specified in the Memorandum of Understanding of the Partnership to Support P135 between the GOVN and International Partners.
The Government has made a strong commitment to eradicate hunger and halve the poverty rate by 2015. To help achieve this target, in September 2001, the Government approved a five-year, $2 billion national targeted programme on hunger eradication, poverty reduction and job creation (NTP HEPR-JC).
By signing the Millennium Declaration and joining the international commitment to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Government of Viet Nam (GOVN) has made a commitment to improve the quality of life of the Vietnamese people by meeting international standards pertaining to poverty reduction, health, education, gender equality and environmental sustainability by 2015. MDGs are consistently in line with the Viet Nam own development goals set out in the national strategies and plans, including those included in the Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy (CPRGS).
Under the three-year Joint Programme (JP) on Gender Equality (GE), the following twelve UN agencies and Programmes: FAO, ILO, IOM, UNAIDS, UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNIDO, UNIFEM, UNODC, and WHO; in partnership with the Government of Vietnam, will provide strategic, coordinated and multi-sectoral capacity building and technical assistance to build the capacity of national and provincial duty bearers so that they can better implement, monitor, evaluate and report on the Law on Gender Equality (GEL) and the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control (DVL) from 2009-2011.

Pure Barre
The Pure Barre experience is an intense, 55-minute, body-sculpting workout. The studio is simple and elegant with walls of mirrors and a chandelier that channels your inner girly-girl. Classes start promptly at the very minute they are scheduled to begin. Arriving 10-15 minutes early to grab your equipment (hand weights, resistance bands, and a resistance ball) and claim a spot is key! Plan to wear comfortable yoga-type clothing, a supportive bra, and socks with sticky dots on the soles. Socks are available in the retail section of the studio if you need to purchase them.
Class begins with a warm-up that wakes up each muscle group and gently stretches your whole body. Loud music and a fast pace with no breaks in between exercises forces your mind to focus on every muscle and truly tune into your body. The upper body work that immediately follows the warm-up includes a 90-second plank to strengthen your core and several different types of push-ups and tricep dips. Hand weights are also used (a variety of which are available for your choosing). The movements are quite small and even with 2 or 3 pound weights you will feel a focused burn that beckons sleeveless summer fashions.
Next you will move to the barre for a thigh-toning series of isometric exercises that will leave your legs shaking! After a good stretch to reward your legs, you will head back to the barre for seat work. Tiny movements focus on all areas of your rear end and work to lift your butt and give you "the Pure Barre ledge". Seriously, they call it that, and I have yet to see an instructor without an amazing booty!
The final working section is for your core/abs. This is done both seated below the barre and on mats in the center of the studio. Beginning with "ab sprints" to get your heart rate up and increase the calorie burn, your abs are worked from top to bottom, and side to side. Resistance balls are available to help support your lower back if needed. Polishing off the ab work with a few stretches, class rewinds back to seat work where you spend one final song cranking out some butt-sculpting hip raises. Finally, a full body stretch rewards you for completing this intense workout that lifts, tones, and burns!
Childcare is not provided, but the classes are offered 7 days a week at many different times to fit your schedule. Whether you go early in the morning, during preschool/school hours, or escape in the evening while your hubby wrangles the little ones, you can definitely find a way to fit this workout into your schedule!
Tiny movements focus on all areas of your rear end and work to lift your butt and give you "the Pure Barre ledge"
If you've just pried yourself from a dent in the couch cushions, it will be tough at first to keep up with the pace of the class. The instructors do, however, offer modifications for certain exercises based on your fitness level. And once you get used to the quick transitions and know what to expect, you can follow along without feeling like a fool! I definitely would recommend giving it a try. Pure Barre does offer a FREE first class to new customers, but you really owe it to yourself to try it several times before you make up your mind. The price tag can be intimidating, but just in the few months since I first tried Pure Barre, they have offered 3 or 4 different promotions that make the classes quite reasonable. Bathing suit season, which we know is quite long here in Alabama, is coming whether we like it or not, so you have nothing to lose but a few bulges by giving it a try.

NOTE: A follow-up to this post, focused on the product merchandising and ecommerce capabilities, was published here.
Ever wish you could breathe life into your brand's Twitter parties? Or maybe you haven't even considered hosting a Twitter party because the text-based nature lacks a personal touch.
With Brandlive's Twitter Listener, you can turn a Twitter party into an effective marketing tool featuring live interactive video. GoPro pioneered it (details below), and now any brand can do it.
What is a Twitter Party?
A Twitter party centers on a hashtag stream. You pick a time, pick your hashtag and share it with your fans. During the party you open up a conversation, and anyone can join in with their questions and comments using the hashtag. Brands throw Twitter parties to engage with customers and build word-of-mouth marketing by getting many tweets in a short time period.
What are Twitter Parties Missing?
While Twitter parties allow brands to start conversations with customers, the interaction is limited to text and images, restricting the full potential for brand engagement. The Twitter platform wasn't designed to host dynamic virtual events for brand fans. It lacks the live human element and flow of real gatherings.
Brandlive Interactive Video + Twitter Listener = Epic Twitter Parties
GoPro and Brandlive solved this by combining Twitter with Brandlive video streaming to take their party up a notch. The party hosts, Pro surfers Anthony Walsh and Jamie O'Brien appeared live on camera in the Brandlive interface, integrated with the Twitter chat stream there. They answered questions on-camera, and viewers could see their authentic responses, facial expressions, and interaction with each other as the conversation unfolded.
With Brandlive's new Twitter Listener feature, GoPro was able to keep the Twitter party going alongside the live video. Twitter Listener seamlessly brought tweets onto the branded live video landing page (which included product info and eCommerce links), so fans could continue to interact with Anthony and Jamie while viewing the live event.
Prompted by GoPro, party attendees used the hashtag to Tweet photos they had taken with their GoPro cameras. It was a brilliant way to showcase the brand with customer-created content.
This is a new kind of party. No dress code, no RSVP, no unwanted small talk. With Twitter + Brandlive video streaming, brand experts can connect with their Twitter followers more directly and personally, taking Twitter parties to a whole new level.

A Marvellous Musical! about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
High Voltage Volume and Energy Deliver a Powerhouse Story
Reviewed by Nancy Snipper
Wow! This frenetically fabulous musical dazzles us as it charts the rise of Frankie Valli and his three talented friends: composer, Bob Gaudio, long time sketchy go-getter and gambler Tommy DeVito, bass boy, Nick Massi and the group's lyricist, Bob Crewe. Spectacular harmonies blend to bring to life this iconic 50's group that spilled out hit after hit. The production offered a back screen animated with comic book images and names of the various clubs that the group performed in, such as the Strand in 1953.
The Silhouette and the Sea Breeze Diner Club; they lit up the back like marquees to highlight the group's stage gigs and the pictures vividly created the innocence and tenor of the times. The set was framed in a huge metal grid that sported a staircase.
The Silhouette and the Sea Breeze Diner Club; they lit up the back like marquees to highlight the group's stage gigs and the pictures vividly created the innocence and tenor of the times. The set was framed in a huge metal grid that sported a staircase.
The story of the Four Seasons is one wherein the singing boys traveled together through deep valleys of setbacks, but undeterred they eventually soar to high performance mountain peaks.
What I loved about the production was the zippy non-stop presentation of the story within a musical framework that left no stone unturned. Medley after medley imbedded itself into the various episodic segments of this group that endured decades while others had one-hit wonders and faded into oblivion.
Dance numbers, a great band and the superlative staging and direction by Des McAnuff created the success as the hyper lively pace superb music showed off the stellar acting and musical talents of all: Drew Seeley, Keith Hines and Nicolas Dromard. Hayden Milanes was Frankie Valli incarnate. What a voice! His stamina was truly a feat of nature, as he was constantly acting, singing and moving. He even pulled off a fast out-of-nowhere James Brown splitz.
All were great: These veteran actors have appeared on Broadway and toured onto a slew of prestigious stages rocking the world with their musical talents. The Jersey Boys is one of these feel-good productions that have you singing Sherry, Sherry Baby as you leave the theatre. Get ready to keep up with the electrifying pace as the story about this timeless – The Four Seasons and their main star, Frank Valli is revealed like never before.

SQL Server 2016 is on the horizon. We have a few CTP versions already released for download, allowing people to become more and more familiar with the product.
Recently, I wrote about how SQL Server 2016 has many more Extended Events that have been added for our use. You can read about the new events added – here.
One thing I did not discuss in that previous article was the apparent deprecation of a few events. Yes, events do get removed from time to time. Every now and again, old events are not removed (e.g. databases_data_file_size_changed and databases_log_file_size_changed which you can read more about here). It would be nice to remove those old events but that is for another article!
As of this writing, the following image shows what has been removed and no longer available.
Looking closely at this list of three events, I don't know that it is terribly concerning. Two of the events are for the query store that did not work in 2014. So there is nothing really lost there. The other event appears to be more of an event used for debugging column store code (the event was in the debug channel).
So overall, the impact of the loss of these events should be very limited. And on the positive side, it is still evidence that Microsoft continues to push forward to make XEvents even bigger and badder. Extended Events are a wonderful tool-set for use by DBAs to be better informed about their environment.

The 10-Hour Spaghetti Sauce
The 10-Hour Spaghetti Sauce
I had my tonsils taken out last month. It was horrible. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep well, and the pain was excrutiating. My husband took care of me for those long three weeks, and I wanted to thank him for putting up with me.
Voila, a special pasta dinner! I decided to make homemade spaghetti sauce – skipping the actual crushing of tomatoes step – for a nice dinner. I even made homemade garlic bread and some brownies (just one indulgence!). I find that making things from scratch (or close to it) is healthier. You know what you're putting in your food and you can determine just how much of anything goes into it, such as salt or some kind of italian seasoning.
Letting it sit and cook on low heat on the stove for several hours (it was more like 7 hours instead of ten!), the entrails of spaghetti aroma traveling throughout the house. Oh, delicious. You're eating with your nose. The work and hours put into cooking from scratch makes me feel more proud of the food I make, and I enjoy it more. I also eat slower because it's so enjoyable. It's not just plain chicken with some veggies on the side.
When you eat slower, your brain has time to receive the "I'm full" message from your stomach and you stop. Food becomes something more than just nutrition and fuel for your body. Instead of stuffing your face with food because you're hungry, you eat to enjoy and bask in the awesomeness that is homemade food – you become mentally full too.

Aerospace Company to Create Jobs in Farmington
It was recently announced that Italian aerospace company Pietro Rose TBM has acquired New England Airfoil Products in Farmington, and will be retaining the company's current workforce as well as adding 100 positions over the next five years. Pietro Rosa TBM is a leading manufacturer of compressor airfoils for gas turbines and complex structural components.
The company will invest about $10 million at the Farmington plant. Economic development officials will help Pietro Rosa TBM establish ties to local universities and technical colleges to draw workers.
This is a great step forward in ensuring that Connecticut is a leader in the global aerospace manufacturing industry. I'm glad that Pietro Rose TBM has decided to invest in a Connecticut company, bringing more manufacturing jobs to our state. You can learn more about the company's expansion here.

Just turned in my final project for screenwriting! Which means spring term is dooone. (And now I have about five hours to get my room packed and cleaned so the amazing friend who's subletting it while I'm in NYC can move in next week.)
I haven't done much outside of that this past week, because I had a super nasty cold over the weekend that left me marathon napping for three days. But a friend and I did go stargazing out in the woods at midnight last night, which was fun, and (fingers crossed) I should have a last couple good adventures in Michigan this weekend.
THEN IT'S OFF TO NEW YORK FOR THE INTERNSHIP WHAAAT. (Hopefully I can get that last BookCon recap post up before I'm, you know, back there.)
This week's Wordy Wednesday is a poem I wrote this time last summer. Specifically: I wrote it the afternoon of June 23rd. Because June 24th, 2014 was the day I left for Europe. (So weird how I'm leaving a place again on this day in 2015.)
This time tomorrow
I'll be on a plane
with no certain future
to explain–
just an adventure,
no idea who I'll become.
This time tomorrow
I'll be in the sky,
a good friend beside me as
I kiss this life goodbye–
so far away from the people
who brought me to today.
And I'm scared of the turbulence,
terrified of the falls.
But I am going anyway
before the world shrinks too small.
Say hello to a new tomorrow,
a new continent beneath my feet.
Say goodbye to all this sorrow,
new houses on an old street.
I don't know where I'll be going–
but I'll be writing a new story.
Here's to all the new stories we'll get to tell this summer.
Thanks for reading!

Only a few steps away from the Kurfürstendamm, the Toro Negro Restaurant brings Spanish-Mediterranean cuisine to your plate. Besides tapas in countless variations, you can also taste delicacies of Spanish and Arabic cuisine in a modern ambience, all prepared with great attention to detail and passion.
Fresh ingredients and original Spanish products like the spicy sausage Chorizo or the spicy Manchego cheese are used in the tapas of the restaurant Toro Negro. You can choose between hot and cold tapas, which are best served with a cold beer or one of the tasty Rioja wines. Among the Spanish classics such as patatas bravas, crispy fried potato cubes with aromatic mojo sauce, dates in a bacon coat or roasted prawns with garlic, there are also Arabic delicacies that reflect the Moorish influence on Spain. Enjoy hummus, the Baba Ganoush eggplant puree or Pinchitos Morunos - Moorish chicken skewers.
If you can't make up your mind with the large selection, order the Tapas Mixtas, which consists of seven bowls with different appetizers. Meat lovers get their money's worth with steaks and grilled meat. Pasta and pizza dishes round off the offer. The cosy ambience of the restaurant with its dark wood, red painted ceiling and natural stone walls is ideal for relaxing with a glass of cava after shopping on the nearby Kudamm. With DiscoEat you can also easily book an evening with friends, the restaurant can comfortably accommodate up to 90 people.

I have been eyeing Women of Life set from Papertrey Ink since they first came out. So when I needed to place an order for their awesome new Dark Chocolate Ribbon, I went ahead and finally ordered the set. I have seen this set used for simple one-layer cards so I knew that's what I wanted to use them for right away.
It's hard to see in the picture, but I embossed the largest Scallop Rectangle Nestability onto Papertrey Stampers Select White CS (maybe if you click on the picture, you can see a larger view...ETA: Apparently my setting are off for clicking on the picture. I have tried to fix the setting but it is not allowing a pop-up window, sorry). Then I stamped the stems in SU Certainly Celery and the flowers in 3 shades of SU pink (Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, and Pretty in Pink).
I made a set of 8 cards with different sentiments and with matching envelopes. I wanted to make something to hold the set so I attempted a "Folder"...I am sure there is a better name for it.
I used a piece of Pink Passion 12 x 12 paper and cut it down to fit the card. I left a 1" center and I added the bottoms to hold the cards. I am sure there is a tutorial out there, but I didn't use one. So, maybe I need to figure out the dimensions I used again and make a tutorial?!
On the outside, I randomly stamped the flower cluster in the same color ink. Then I cut out and embossed one of the rectangles and stamped the image to match the cards. I added some ribbon from Michaels to close it.
This set is awesome because it has many occasions and women in the set. So, each card has a different sentiment (except I used 2 "happy birthdays" since I thought those would be used the most)...
I am going to give this set to a friend of mine who will be watching my kids while I have a dentist appointment on friday.
This was a quick and easy set to make. I think it took me less than an hour and I had the make the card folder twice because the dimensions on the first one were not large enough so it should have only taken me just over a half hour to make the whole set.
Thanks for stopping by!

You've finally carved out a spare moment to write. You open up a blank document, and set your fingers on the keys. But then nothing comes.
You check Facebook thinking you might find something to inspire you there. No luck.
You wonder if your muse is hiding under the stack of dirty dishes, so you clean every bit of grime you can find but still come up empty.
You're at a loss for ideas, and your writing time is dwindling quickly.
It may be too late for this session, but grab a notebook. Between this writing time and next (aka tomorrow), explore some of these ideas.
1. Look Around
As we head into the holiday season, it's likely we're all going to be traveling at some point or another. Instead of pacing back and forth across the airport or diving right into that bestseller, take a moment to notice the people around you. They may be the protagonist and antagonist of your bestseller.
See that Mom and Dad with their toddler in the stroller? What's their story? Who are they going to see?
See the salesman running through the terminal? Who's he in a rush to get home to?
If you're traveling by car, look at the family in the minivan next to you. How did they decide to watch that movie? How much stuff is in their trunk, and who's going to call for a potty break first?
2. Pay Attention
Author Ron Rash said his New York Times bestselling novel Serena began with the image a confident, tall, strong woman on a large white horse. He saw details of the scenery, the horse, and woman but didn't know that meant. He just knew he couldn't shake the image from his mind, so he wrote about it. That woman became the star of her own movie last month.
3. Day Dream
Close your eyes for a minute. What do you see?
4. Change the Scenery
The little boy in that picture could be practicing piano in his living room. He could be practicing in a concert hall. But instead he's outside. Maybe his fingers work better there. I don't know.
Maybe your fingers work better in a coffee shop. Maybe they prefer the library. The river. The floor.
Try sitting someplace different or in a different position and see what happens.
5. Play What If
What if the referee didn't show up to the basketball game because he's been murdered? What if the airplane lands in a different destination than expected? What if the turkey burns the house down?
6. Read
Allowing inspiration to come from books or movies isn't plagiarism. Watch or read the scene then hit "pause" and let your own creativity take over rather than following the established plot-line. Think about how you would have crafted the storyline differently, and then run with it.
7. Use Your Own Life
If your family's like mine, you've got some interesting characters. You've got some crazy stories. You've got some moments of "Is this really happening?" You can't make up those things. Borrow them from real life (just change enough details to protect the guilty).
8. Revisit Your Favorite Characters
Maybe they're your own or maybe they're someone else's, but we've all got favorite characters. Put them together in a box and see what happens. Trust them to come up with a clever story all on their own. You just get to be their scribe.
9. Just Start Writing
With your fingers on the keys, just start moving them. Sometimes words will come out and sometimes they won't. Eventually something worth saving will appear. It just might take awhile.
Whatever you do just don't keep staring at that blinking cursor. It's a demon who whispers lies.
How do you find ideas when the well seems to run dry?
Use one of these ideas to freewrite for 15 minutes. When you're done, you know the drill, post it in the comments and comment on a few other practices.

Moran on the Geospatial Community's Role in the Ebola Relief Effort
Mar 10, 2015 | CCAPSState Fragility
Strauss Center Associate Director Ashley Moran was recently quoted in an article for Trajectory Magazine on how the geospatial community has addressed the lack of adequate mapping data in the context of the West African Ebola epidemic of 2014. This outbreak—particularly challenging given the size of the affected area, the risk of global spread of the disease, and the duration of the crisis—triggered an overwhelming response from the geospatial community. In particular, collaborations across governmental and nongovernmental institutions, like the Worldwide Human Geography Data (WWHGD) working group, says Moran, have been a valuable platform for supporting partner governments with capacity and data constraints.
According to Moran, organizations such as those involved in the WWHGD should "focus on building local capacity through training and the augmentation of platforms already in place." Boosting geospatial tools currently used by local organizations will enable them to better respond to current crises such as the Ebola epidemic and build local capacity that could help developing countries in the longer term as well. During the Ebola epidemic, for example, the Strauss Center has partnered with the Government of Liberia's National Ebola Task Force as well as a local Liberian technology NGO, iLab Liberia, to support development of integrated mapping approaches that build local capacity to respond to current and potential future crises. iLab Liberia provides access to cutting-edge technology and IT assistance to organizations and the public in Liberia, and it frequently hosts free training and tech events open to the public.

The 7 Best Watches Currently Funding on Kickstarter
The crowdfunding site offers a really good time (and price)
Sure, a Rolex makes a great statement.
But to truly stand out, you may want to consider Kickstarter for your next watch purchase.
As far as timepieces go, the crowdfunding site inspires unbridled creativity … mixed, conversely, with a reverence toward vintage tickers (usually in the sweet spot of the 1950s and '60s).
And above all, they're just kind of fun.
So, herein: the 7 best watches currently funding on Kickstarter.
All under four figures. All extremely creative. And all extremely limited editions with a tight deadline to buy.
For race fans: Goodspeed PETROL
If you're a watch fan and racing movies from the '60s and '70s are your bag — and you can't shell out, say, $17 million or so for Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona — go with the debut timepiece from Goodspeed. Inspired by vintage racing watches but made with modern components, these sleek chronographs feature a high-contrast red second hand that measures seconds lapsed when the chrono is started, a left subdial that registers minutes lapsed and a right subdial that displays your current 24-hour time. ($169, ends Nov. 21)
View this post on Instagram
For globalists: Xeric Atlasphere
As in, actual inspiration from 18th-century globemakers. The Atlasphere features minutes displayed via an orbiting moon and luminous hands and north/south "poles" that display the date and secondary time zone, all over a bas-relief with latitude and longitude lines. Bonus: Straps crafted from Horween leather. ($199, ends Nov. 30)
For making cars: Huet Brothers
Dutch brothers Paul and Tino Huet love fast cars and classic watches. To build their dream sports car — an HB Coupe — the pair needs help. How you can: Pre-ordering their HB Benefactor Chronograph 2018, a Swiss made timepiece with "concepts from already-made HB cars." Available in two sizes (40 and 42.5mm) and two straps (get the Sport model's black strap with red accents), with a steering wheel engraved on the back. ($340, ends Nov. 15)
For vintage dive pieces: Meraud
Founded by a vintage watch enthusiast from Belgium, these Swiss movement timepieces evoke dive watches of the '50s and '60s. With 200 meters of water resistance but a thickness of only 12.5mm, this is a sporty and elegant timepiece. ($725, ends Nov. 17)
For winos: Décantheure
An automatic watch for … wine lovers? Let's explain: With a twist of the crown, you can track the amount of time it takes to decant 30 different varieties of wine. Fun fact: The back is made from a transparent green Champagne bottle. Hey, they reach four million euros in funding, and your watch serves as a lottery ticket to one of their first production cars. ($184, ends Nov. 19)
For none more black: Chronoteca
"The blackest watch ever made," they say. The coating on this Swiss automatic self-winding watch is apparently crafted from the darkest man-made substance ever, absorbing 99.9% of light. Plus, it's scratch-resistant. ($457, Nov. 30)
For DIY enthusiasts: Innovitime
Here, you can customize the watch (and packaging) with any art or design you want, via an online visual configurator. ($79, Nov. 14)

I'm not really one for New Year's resolutions but definitely have a list of things I'd like to accomplish in 2013. So, here are 13 things I would like to do this year (in no particular order)…
1. Spend less, save more – I don't really consider myself to be a big spender, but I'd like to be more aware of where our money is going and pay off more of our debt.
2. Run a 1:58 half marathon – This past October I ran my first sub 2 hour half and this year I would love to shave 2 minutes off my PB.
3. Try one new clean eating recipe a week – Since returning to work at the end of November I have struggled to prepare clean meals. I love eating clean and hope that with a little planning and the commitment to try a new recipe each week, I will get back and stay on track!
4. Become a certified RPM instructor – I'm planning on going to instructor training in March, so hopefully I will be a certified instructor by June!
5. Do 10 chin-ups – Currently I can do…ZERO!
6. Build Strength – The majority of my workouts are cardio based (BodyAttack, RPM, running) and I really want to make strength training a bigger part of my workout routine. I'm looking forward to trying out some new workout styles and mixing things up this year!
7. Go to bed earlier – I'd love to make a habit of being in bed by 9:30 every night, with the idea of being asleep by 10. I definitely function better on a good night sleep and I really feel that there is a strong connection between sleep and overall health.
8. Blog more – I really enjoy blogging and want to grow my blog. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but with more consistency and fresh ideas, I hope to make it happen!
9. Run 3x a week – I definitely need to run more consistently if I am going to reach goal #2 , especially in the off season. Realistically, with all of the other cardio I do, three 5k'ers would be awesome!
10. Drink more water – I'm aiming for at least 2 litres a day.
11. Read 52 books – I love to read, but unfortunately only make time for it before falling asleep each night. My goal is to read a book a week, which might be a bit much, but if I actually do go to bed earlier, I can squeeze in a bit of extra reading time 🙂
12. Take at least 2 family trips – Ideas include mini-vacation, camping, cottaging, or maybe even a beach vacation….
13. Date night once a month – My husband and I rarely find/make time to go out on a date and I vow to change that this year! We will go out on at least 12 dates – nothing fancy, just dinner and/ or a movie, something like that – a chance to catch up and focus our attention solely on each other, rather than dividing it between us and the kids.
What are your goals for 2013?

"Resonance": The New Single From Contemporary Jazz Keyboardist Mark Etheredge
Following on the success of his 10-track album, CONNECTED, keyboardist and composer Mark Etheredge returns with a new single offering in RESONANCE.
"Resonance" will be released worldwide on Tuesday, October 1, 2019. The single is Going For Adds starting September 30 with servicing to radio by Gorov Music Marketing.
Etheredge teamed up again with Two-time Grammy® Winning producer and guitarist Paul Brown along with bassist Roberto Vally, drummer Gorden Campbell and percussionist Richie Gajate Garcia. The contemporary instrumental jazz track, written by Etheredge, was recorded at Carmen Grillo's Big Surprise Music in Los Angeles, mixed by Paul Brown, and mastered by Rainer Gembalczyk of Sienna Digital.
Etheredge's first radio single "Connected" took the No. 1 spot on RadioWave chart and No. 6 on the Billboard singles tally. The track ranked No. 31 on Billboard's Smooth Jazz 2016 Year End Chart and ranked No. 2 on the Groove Jazz Music Top 100 for 2016. On January 3, 2017 the second radio single "Roger That" debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Most Added Smooth Jazz Songs Chart.
In physics, resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or external force drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude at specific frequencies. (Source: Wikipedia) "I think as humans, we all have opportunities to resonate with each other--to be in tune and find peace with each other – if we want it enough," says Etheredge. "Resonance flirts with that possibility."
"You will instantly fall for keyboardist Mark Etheredge…With an approach that's so hypnotically appealing, Etheredge brings that contemporary jazzy, bluesy, sassy, sauntering jazz along with some great big band horn stylings." – The Smooth Jazz Ride
"As easy as the music flows, Etheredge's playing is far from simpering or simplistic. He knows how to play the deeper grooves." - AXS
"A real winner for smooth jazz fans that were sorry when radio programmers turned the sound into wallpaper, this cat knows his stuff and ain't afraid to strut it." – Midwest Record
"Music that celebrates the optimism that comes with positive human connection." – Soul and Jazz and Funk
In addition to his work as a solo artist, Etheredge has performed alongside notable artists such as Tom Politzer (Tower of Power), Danny Hull (Journey), Charlene Moore (Weather Girls), Jeanie Tracy (Two Tons of Fun), Charles Williams (Johnny Otis), Clifford Coulter (John Lee Hooker), Clare Fischer, Marsha Stevens, and more. His groups have opened for Bobby McFerrin, Sergio Mendes, Tuck and Patti, Betty Carter, Sheila Jordan, and numerous others.
Etheredge studied jazz performance at De Anza College and San Jose State University. On his musical journey he absorbed a wide spectrum of genres including jazz, pop, classical, rock, gospel, blues, R&B, Afro-Cuban, and Afro-Brazilian styles.

Staying in a hostel doesn't have to mean bunk beds and bare white walls. A stay in one of these coolest and most unusual hostels can be a highlight of your next holiday. From castles to treehouses and wineries to working ranches, there's something to fit everyone's idea of fun. And hostels aren't just for teens and twenty-somethings anymore; many are open to all ages so you can still experience the comraderie and save money even if your college days are well behind you.
747 Jumbo Hostel, Sweden
If you are trying to find a cool and unusual hostel, Sweden has you covered. In Stockholm's Arlanda airport, you can sleep in a real plane that has been converted to a small, cheap, but luxurious hostel. Even if this plane never leaves the ground, you will surely see a lot of planes landing and leaving. Choose from an upscale premium room or an average hostel room and hang out in common area that looks just like a normal plane.
Kadir's Tree House, Turkey
Kadir's Tree Houses offers a whole compound of tree houses with a fun, vibrant vibe. From the outside, this hostel in Olympos looks like children's tree house with colorful decorations and idyllic buildings. However, you will have free wifi, air-conditioning and other modern world pleasures. Let your inner child out and play around in this tree house village. The hostel's scenery and location is unique because you can start your hike to Olympos right behind the hostel. Not recommended for sleepwalkers!
Gyreum Eco Lodge, Ireland
Climate change is a real problem and normal tourism isn't helping it. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint or just enjoy a holiday in beautiful Ireland, Gyreum is good choice for you. In addition to its eco features this hostel looks unique and cool. Some even call it the big green UFO. This wooden building, built twelve years ago, is surrounded by nature and looks in fact like a huge UFO that has landed in middle of Ireland.
Caveland, Greece
Santorini itself is cool destination but you can make your visit even cooler by combining it with stay in this former winery. This winery was built in the 18th century when locals used to dig directly into the ground to create their homes. These caves are now transformed into a hostel with cozy atmosphere and unique feeling. Caveland's rooms or, better said, caves provide good accommodation that will protect you from Greece's heat and sunlight.
Book and Bed, Japan
You can always count on Japan for a unique take on everything, including hostels. Are you bookworm who has always wanted to live in a magical bookstore with interesting books always at hand? This Tokyo and Kyoto based hostel chain will make you dreams come true. At Book and Bed, hostel beds are situated on bookshelves that are full of books guests can freely read. If you're not up for the commitment to a book, there is also wide collection of comic books and other reading material. Only negative point is that you may forget to sleep while getting too into the interesting books.
Prison Hostel, Latvia
If you are a fan of crime stories, unsolved mysteries or just extreme experiences this Prison Hostel in Karosta will be just right place for you. Live like real prisoners used to live in this old military prison. You have to sign form that allows them to treat you like a real prisoner but hey, what wouldn't we do for a cool travel experience? You will get treated as a real prisoner but you will also get free tour around the buildings and free entry to the Karosta museum.
Radeka Downunder, Australia
If you are not scared of sleeping underground and in closed space, this cool hostel will be experience you are not going to forget any time soon. Radeka Downunder is an unusual hostel located in an old opal mine and, like the name says, underground. Hostel's motto is "Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer" and that makes it perfect place around the year.
St Briavels Castle, UK
Does staying in real castle without breaking your budget sound like an impossible dream? In England you can stay in this inexpensive and unusual hostel that is located in a Norman castle complete with moat that is over 800 years old. St. Briavels is a YHA hostel welcoming individuals, families, and groups. Room types vary from tower rooms to prison rooms but, whatever you choose, it will definitely be cool hostel experience.
Anak Ranch of Mongolia, Mongolia
Anak Ranch is an unusual hostel that is definitely going to be a once in a life time experience. You will be staying in a local traditional nomadic home called a ger. City girls and boys should think twice before staying here because even if you can try milking cow, horse riding and even fishing this is not for people wanting relaxed holiday. There are not many attractions near Anak Ranch but this cool hostel provides everything you will need to have active holiday in Mongolia.
HI-Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel, USA
Amid California's sunshine and amazing scenery you can find this small lighthouse that has been turned into a cool, homey hostel. Enjoy the sea, fresh air and a really cool lighthouse at Pigeon Point. Spending the night in a lighthouse is one of those things everyone should add to their bucket list. The only negative point is that this unusual hostel costs a little more than other accommodations in the area.
Arkabarka Hostel Belgrade, Serbia
Float above water of the Danube and enjoy the bright colors of this Serbia-based unusual floating hostel. Spend your day sitting on the edge of the hostel's platform and dipping your toes into the cold water. In addition of floating like a boat, Arkabarka has a community café and locals dropping by to meet interesting new people from all around the world. You can also decide whether you want to enjoy your free breakfast next to the water or maybe in the funny, colorful café/reception.
Sydney Railway Square YHA, Australia
Spend a unique night in a train carriage in central Sydney near all the most important attractions, pubs and experiences. This place is usually seen as a cool party hostel and they call themselves "Sydney's most laid back hostel." However, everyone can enjoy a stay in a train themed room, so don't be scared even if you are not a party animal. In addition to cool rooms Railway Square YHA has a pool, kitchen, barbecue and, of course, free wifi.
If you haven't experienced hosteling, these unique hostels are a great incentive to give it a try. Don't be stuck in the same old chain hotel room. There's a whole different world out there where you can meet people, save your travel budget for exciting activities, and come home with plenty of vacation memories.

Etape Training – Early Days Recap (1)
So last year in a fit of madness and bike related hubris I signed up for the Etape du Tour on 10 July 2016 and this is first of a series of blog posts where I attempt to chronicle the experience and shamelessly solicit for sponsorship money!
Setting the Scene
The Etape is where rank amateurs up to semi-pros tackle a stage of Tour de France a few weeks before the professionals ride over it. Closed roads, feed stations, broom wagons for the dying, the whole caboodle. Indeed, the Etape is generally acknowledged as the pinnacle of the cycling Sportive calendar, due it the participation numbers, route toughness and its draw on the mythos surrounding the Tour itself.
They generally set the Etape on one of the Tour's more challenging mountain stages and this year is no exception as we will be riding the Queen Stage – 20: Megève to Morzine. I'll look at the stage in more depth in a later post, but suffice to say its 89 miles – which is fairly middling in Sportive terms – but it is around 8000 metres of climbing that is the real foe.
Allez, allez, allez!
About Me
I'm a reasonable fit person, pretty competitive and have completed one Sportive before – the not inconsiderable Dragon. However, I'm not even a club cyclist and let my cycling slip for various reasons post-Dragon back to a resounding zero. To be honest, I'm much more of an explore interesting places and country lanes on a mountain bike type rather than a tapping out a high tempo ride on a carbon beast, bedecked in lycra and all the gadgets. So this will be a challenge to up my cycling game without losing the sense of fun.
Small Beginnings
I started off the year doing a lot more running than cycling due to the weather and often being in different locations to my bikes, so was in the strange position of starting my Etape training being a lot better runner than cyclist. Up to early April (the magic 3 months to go panic point) the plan was simply to slowly increase the length and speed of cycling trips, roughly alternating between faster short trips and longer expeditions. Principal aim: try not to break myself with too bad an injury in the early days of the season as I get some miles in my legs.
To this effect the start of year saw me heading off to Severnside, cycling round sections Avonmouth still under construction with heavy duty roads, industrial backdrop and nothing else bar yet to be developed, blasted levels. A weird experience akin to the feeling of seeing old power stations on abandoned coasts.
Other more normal places included the Strawberry line; Radstock / Frome, the Kennet & Avon Canal and the ever reliable quick dash to Bath and back, all the while offering a quick prayer of thanks to that most giving of Gods, Sustrans, and its many glorious cycle paths around Bristol. No killer distances, but a nice steady increase when looking back on the training log.
Oh, and I saw a couple rowing a sinking bath tub down the canal at Avoncliffe and didn't get a photo. Such is Avonlife.
Get Involved Blurb!
If you would like to support my effort and a great cancer charity in Mesothelioma UK you can sponsor me here. All donations greatly received! You can see my progress on the rather wonderful Strave app here if you're feeling curious.
Next time out – picking up the pace(ish) and the Lionheart Sportive.

Amanda ******** – "ok one more day before I leave for CHICAGO!!!!! I think there is much to be done but its ok it will all get done and if it doesnt then who cares becuase I get to see some of my family tomorrow and my sisters baby belly (which I am hopeing to be quite large LOL)"
– I wonder if Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't mind adding a mandatory IQ test to Facebook. Wouldn't that be badass? You could view all your chums IQ scores on their homepage and leave comments like "Well aren't you sharp as a tack ;9". Of course you'll have people like Amanduhhhhhhh who'll find ways to piss on your party of happiness by scoring lower than a dead person and failing. Amandumb, the only reason I'm poking fun at your intelligence is because you're moving to Chicago in the winter…… and the comment you made about "there is much to be done but it's ok"……….. and the comment you made about your sisters baby belly, which I'm convinced is a knapsack of Kraft Singles that she 'accidentally' swallowed.

Everything you need to know about bypassing Google Account factory reset protection on Android device. The detailed step-by-step guide will help you get bypass Google account screen on your Android smartphone or tablet device.
I have made every effort to include every bypass method and added more info about Android FRP feature and what you should do to avoid being locked out in the future.
To be honest, there are many ways to bypass Android FRP security, but some of them have been patched due to latest Android updates.
But I would recommend you to try out all of them because it totally depends on the version of Android installed on your device. For example, if you've Android 5.0 then you've 99% chance of success and can easily try any bypass method. But having Android Nougat and Marshmallow, you'll have to struggle a bit more.
- 1 What is Android FRP?
- 2 Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Samsung devices
- 3 How to bypass Factory Reset Protection Without PC (using OTG Cable)
- 4 Bypass any Google Account Verification on a Samsung Galaxy Device
- 5 HTC Bypass Google Account Verification
- 6 LG Bypass Google Account Android 7.0 and Marshmallow 6.0.1
- 7 Conclusion
What is Android FRP?
FRP stands for Factory reset protection. With the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google released a new security feature to protect your device and personal data.
When you set up FRP on your smartphone, It will protect it from unauthorized access if in case it gets lost, stolen or got a factory reset without your permission. Let's say, Your device with FRP enabled is stolen, lost, or even wiped data factory reset, then someone with your Google Account credentials or screen lock information can access your device.
Many leading Android Smartphones and tablets manufacturers have started implementing this feature including Samsung, Google Pixel (Nexus devices), LG, Sony and HTC latest flagship devices.
Android is now more focused towards ensuring user privacy and security. For this reason, they released a new feature app permission manager with Android Marshmallow. With earlier versions of Android, a particular app would access permissions without notifying you but not anymore. You can now individually grant permissions to an app like Camera, to access photos or record audio, etc.
Personally, I love Android FRP feature for a number reasons and many Android users too. But unfortunately, I have seen many people having issues due to FRP lock on their device. Now they can't get access back to their device.
It could be due to these reasons:
- You've forgotten Google account email or password.
- You bought a used phone from eBay, Swappa or local market.
Now you're frustrated and don't know what to do with your device.
Luckily, unlike Apple iCloud (very hard to bypass), Google's FRP is not that hard to crack or bypass the screen. Google is continuously improving Android security, and with new updates, it is getting hard day by day to bypass it.
I had personally bypass Google account screen on many devices when it was in the early stages (Android Lollipop and Marshmallow).
Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Samsung devices
You've got an 80% chance to bypass FRP screen, if you've Android 5.0, 5.1.1 or Android 6.0, 6.1.1 installed on your device. With the latest Android versions, it is a bit difficult but not impossible.
I have written a detailed step-by-step guide to bypass Google factory reset protection on many Android devices.
Old devices with previous versions of Android such as the Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, S3, and S4 did not come with FRP lock, but since then most of them have got Android Lollipop updates. So these users are also experiencing issues to bypass the lock screen.
Samsung latest smartphones lineup including, Galaxy J1, J2, J3, J7, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, Galaxy C, Note 4, 5, S6 Edge, S7 Edge have built-in FRP feature.
Most of us forget to disable FRP before hard resetting our phones. When you hard reset your phone using recovery mode without turning it off from phone Settings, then it is more likely to get your phone FRP locked unless you enter the correct G account verification.
Most of the times, we sometimes forget email or password and are stuck at the Google verification screen.
Thanks to the anonymous developer and Android hackers somehow they managed to find a backdoor security patch to bypass the verification step and then erase everything to get access back to your device.
So let's move on and get started.
Currently, there are two ways to bypass Factory Reset Protection on Android; one is without PC using OTG cable or Having access to PC and use the realterm application.
How to bypass Factory Reset Protection Without PC (using OTG Cable)
If you already have got an OTG cable then follow these steps to bypass Samsung frp.
Step 1: First and foremost, you need to download FRP Bypass apk for Samsung Google account verification.
Step 2: Copy the app APK file to your USB storage.
Step 3: Connect USB flash drive to your device using the OTG cable.
Step 4: When USB is successfully connected. You should get a popup on the screen to install the apk app you've just copied earlier using the file manager app.
Step 5: By installing the FRP bypass app, you should now get access to phone settings.
Step 6: Now find Backup and reset option.
Step 7: Finally, Tap the Factory data reset and Reset device or Erase everything which will erase everything on your device including the following:
- Google Account
- System and app data
- Device settings
- Downloaded apps
- Music, Pictures and all other user data.
Step 8: Your phone will now automatically reboots. Just wait for your device to boot normally and follow the on-screen instructions to setup your device.
Bypass any Google Account Verification on a Samsung Galaxy Device
This method is using the same procedure, but there are some users not having access to OTG cable. So, if you don't have then follow the steps to bypass FRP using a PC.
This method works for all Samsung Galaxy and Note models running the older versions of Android like Lollipop 5.0 and Marshmallow 6.0. If you're having Galaxy Note 8 or Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S9 Plus running Nougat or Oreo then follow this guide.
Step 1: First of all, you need to download and install Samsung SideSync application for PC.
Step 2: After successful installation of SideSync on the PC. Run it as an Administrator and connect your device to PC using the USB cable.
Step 3: On the next step, You'll get a popup as shown in the screenshot below:
Step 4: Now Tap on Chrome icon to open it. When Chrome browser is opened on your mobile device, then enter the following into the URL into the address bar to download the FRP bypass app.
Step 5: Finally tap back to open the Samsung Apps on your device. Please note that you'll be prompted to install SideSynce on your device, just ignore it and search for ES File Explorer to install. Make sure you already have a Samsung account.
Step 6: Once installed, tap to run ES File Explorer. Now using the app browse the download folder to install the ByPass app.
Step 7: As the app gets install on the smartphone, the Settings menu will automatically open on the device. Scroll down the options and find the Backup and reset option.
Step 8: Tap Factory data reset and Reset device.
Step 9: That's it! You've finally unlocked your device.
Congratulations! You've successfully bypassed the Factory Reset Protection on your Samsung Android device.
HTC Bypass Google Account Verification
If you've got an HTC phone, here is the step-by-step guide with screenshots. The best part of this procedure is you can easily bypass the account verification screen without Windows PC.
Let's get started:
- Open your phone and start from the Welcome phone setup screen as you can see in the screenshot:
- Tap on Start and Add Wi-Fi network:
- Now go back at the bottom and add a new Wi-Fi network. Enter a random name and select all text and hold tap for around 3 seconds and choose Share.
- Now hold down on the Messages app just like you did before in the earlier section to get to app info.
- When you get to the screen, tap back as shown in the screen down:
- Tap on Google search
Tap Search & Now.
Select Cards Now.
- And choose, 'No Thanks'.
- Now search for AppShortcutCreater apk. Download and install it. Make sure to enable unknown sources.
- Run QuickShortCreater app
- When you run the app, on the next screen search for, "Google account manager" and check for type email and password.
- On the next screen, tap on the menu button and select Browser Sign-in.
- Now you can add a new Google account.
- After signing in successfully you'll get back to the previous screen. Now you need to reboot your phone.
- Once your phone reboots normally you can follow the on-screen instructions to setup your device without any issues.
That's it. You've done it now.
LG Bypass Google Account Android 7.0 and Marshmallow 6.0.1
Here is the FRP bypass procedure for LG latest flagship devices including LG G5, G4, LG V20 and many other devices are supported.
The video tutorial below is one of the easiest methods you can use for LG devices. Watch it carefully, and I would recommend you watch it a couple of times to get the idea and then try it on your device.
Best of luck!
Finally, I hope you've bypassed Google account verification screen on your device. If not, then here is what I would recommend you in order to safely get rid of FRP lock on the device:
1. Downgrade Android OS version
As I said earlier, Android is continuously getting security updates to fix the loopholes we are currently using for bypassing.
Therefore, I would recommend you to downgrade your phone to the least possible firmware version. For example, if your Galaxy S7 Edge is running Android 7.0 Nougat then downgrade it to Android 5.0 Lollipop or Marshmallow 6.0 and then try any of the method given above.
Now all devices including Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, and Google Pixel and Nexus have their own firmware downgrade procedures.
2. FRP Unlock Service
With new Android software updates like the Marshmallow, Nougat and new flagship devices like the Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9 Plus, LG G6, HTC U11 and Google Pixel 2 released with Android 8 Oreo it is almost impossible to crack frp. So the best option is to buy frp unlock service online which is available on eBay for all major devices starting from $5 up to $25 but your device will be unlocked instantly using remote unlock service.
Did you find it helpful? I do hope so! Don't forget to let us know and share your experience in the comment section below if it has helped you in bypassing FRP lock or if you need further assistance.
I will be updating this page regularly as soon as I find a new loophole in Android security around the web. Till then Good luck.

Are you trying to save money on auto insurance? Then look no further! I've got some simple advice that can help you save hundreds of dollars in the budget category that is your auto insurance policy.
Every year, thousands of people make a specific mistake with their coverage that costs them big time. These people are literally taking hundreds of dollars every year and lighting it on fire.
Want to hear more? Stick around and I'll show a simple change you can make in your finances to keep several hundred dollars in your pocket – every single year.
Save Money on Auto Insurance
My tip for saving hundreds a year on auto insurance isn't to switch to a new insurance company with an adorable gecko as its mascot, or to the one with the cute gal named "Flo." Nope. Instead, it's a simple tweak to your existing coverage that will help you have more money.
Before I explain how and why to make this change, let's talk a little bit about the different types of insurance offered by automobile companies and how they work.
Liability coverage is just one of the types of insurance that make up your auto insurance. Liability insurance is the mandatory part of your insurance policy. In other words, liability coverage is required by law. You must have liability insurance whether you like it or not.
Fear not, because the requirement is for a good reason. Liability insurance covers you when you drive your car into another car, a person, a house or a tree. Since a 4,000 lb. object being pushed into anything can cause a lot of damage, you want liability insurance. And you want a lot of it.
When it comes to liability insurance, you want to make sure you're getting the maximum amount of coverage. The max varies by insurance company, but it ranges between $100,000 and $500,000. Whatever your company's maximum is, you should strive to buy it. On top of that, you can buy a separate umbrella insurance policy. (An umbrella policy increases your protection.)
Unfortunately, that's going to cost money. The good news is, your liability coverage and umbrella coverage will come in handy if you're hit with a $500,000 lawsuit. If that ever happens, you'll be happy you followed this advice!
In short, we want to increase your liability coverage. So, liability coverage is one area where we will not be able to save money on auto insurance. But stay tuned. Because we will review other opportunities to do just that.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
This is another very big – and very important – part of your auto insurance. This insurance helps you when the other guy drives his car into you – and that other guy doesn't have big liability coverage (which is very, very common).
Consider this example:
Bob is a total green horn when it comes to auto insurance. He doesn't have a financial planner and he doesn't read this blog or have any clue how to have more money. For this reason, Bob doesn't understand or appreciate the importance of liability coverage. He selects his insurance company's default liability coverage choice of $30,000.
On his way to work, Bob is distracted. Seriously! Bob is eating a doughnut, shaving, and putting on his make-up, all at the same time. Bob's a mess, so he doesn't see you right in front of him. His car plows right into you.
Your car is totaled. You've got $100,000 in medical bills as a result of the accident. Worse, you can't work for an entire year due to your injury. This causes you to lose $100,000 in income. Based on that math alone, Bob owes you a car and $200,000.
But guess what? You're only getting $30,000 from Bob's insurance company – because that's all the liability coverage Bob has. Unfortunately, suing Bob won't get you anymore because he doesn't make money and doesn't have anything saved up.
Sure, your medical insurance might cover some of your medical bills – but not all of them. And your disability insurance policy may replace some of your income – but not all of it. Let's not forget; you still need a new car. Where is all the money going to come from?
Enter Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. This is coverage that fills the gap left by another irresponsible driver. As you can tell in the example above, having this coverage makes a big difference. Like your liability coverage, you should max this out. Being out of work and having very expensive medical bills is a big deal. You can protect yourself by maxing out your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage on top of your liability coverage.
Just like liability coverage, under/uninsured coverage is very important. So, we won't be able to save money on auto insurance with this particular coverage. But, it is important coverage that we need. In the next section, we'll talk about how you can save money on auto insurance by strategically using comprehensive and collision insurance.
Save Money on Auto Insurance by Tweaking Comprehensive & Collision Coverage
Now let's talk about how we're going to save money on auto insurance, likely several hundreds of dollars per year. Are you ready?
Comprehensive & Collision coverage insures the value of your car. This coverage kicks in when you drive your car into a tree (collision), or when a tree falls on your car (comprehensive).
Is Comprehensive & Collision Insurance Right for You?
Pretty much every car insurance company thinks you need to load up on this coverage. How do I know? Because every insurance policy I've seen has ample coverage for comprehensive & collision – and its owners are paying for it. But should they?
If you want to save money on auto insurance, should be spending several hundred dollars on comprehensive & collision coverage? As with all great financial planning questions, the answer is, "it depends."
Here's one simple query that can help you decide if paying for comprehensive & collision insurance is right for you:
Do you have more cash than your car is worth?
If the answer is yes, you should skip comprehensive & collision insurance and bank the money you would spend on that coverage.
Why should you skip comprehensive & collision if you have more cash than what your car is worth? Math. But not just any math – probability, statistics, and actuarial stuff.
Basically, it boils down to this: an insurance company is only going to sell you an insurance policy if the insurance company believes they can turn a profit. That is, on average an insurance policy is priced so that you'll lose money and the insurance company will make money.
So, on average, you will save money by skipping this type of coverage. And when it comes to comprehensive and collision coverage, the most money you could lose is the amount of money your car is worth. But, if you have the money already, it's not going to cause you financial ruin.
This is why liability and uninsured/underinsured coverage is different. If you skipped either types of coverage, you could be out hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. Not having $500,000 could easily ruin your finances and lead you to bankruptcy.
Save Money by Working Your Comprehensive & Collision Coverage
If you have more cash than your car is worth, skip comprehensive & collision insurance. On average, you'll save money. And if you ever do need to replace your car from an accident or incident, you will be able to.
I'll use myself as an example. I've got a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. Maybe my insurance company would give $3,500 in the event of a wreck. Do I have $3,500 in cash in my rainy day fund? I sure do. (Come on man, I'm a financial planner. Of course, I have a rainy day fund!) So, I don't need to pay for comprehensive & collision coverage on my car. I can afford to manage the cost of this risk myself – and on average I won't ever have to. But, even if I did, it wouldn't be a problem because I have $3,500 in cash in my rainy day fund.
Work Your Deductible Instead
Of course, not everyone has a big pile of cash in the bank. Fortunately, you can still save money on your comprehensive and collision insurance by working your deductible.
Your deductible is the amount of money you must pay out-of-pocket before your insurance company pays you anything. Here's an example of how this works:
Bill just bought a brand new pick up truck. It's fully loaded with a sticker price of $35,000.
Bill doesn't have $35,000 of cash sitting in the bank. Bill gets comprehensive & collision insurance on his new rig. The next day, a tree falls on the truck, destroying it completely. Bill's insurance company pays Bill $34,500.
Why not the full $35,000? Because of a $500 deductible. The bigger the deductible, the less the insurance company pays out. And the bigger deductible, the more money you can save on your auto insurance bill.
You can save money by picking a deductible that's equal to the size of your cash savings. Do you have $500 in cash? Get a $500 deductible. Do you have $1,000 in your rainy day fund? Opt for the $1,000 deductible instead. The bigger your rainy day fund, the bigger your deductible should be – and the more money you'll save on auto insurance.
Skip Nonsense Coverage You Don't Need
Consumer expert Clark Howard suggests avoiding roadside assistance coverage from your auto insurer. The reason being that using roadside assistance will ding your insurance history, with your auto provider raising your rates for using their roadside service! If you must have roadside assistance, make sure to get that coverage from someone other than your insurance company. For example, if you have auto insurance through Progressive, get your roadside service via AAA.
Going back to our deductible conversation, skip premiums for coverages that you can afford to pay out of pocket. Depending on how much cash you have sitting in the bank, that may mean skipping paying extra for such additional auto insurance coverages as:
- rental car coverage
- mechanical break coverage
- windshield replacement coverage
When you skip coverage for things you can afford to cover yourself, you will save money in the long run.
How to Save Money on Auto Insurance
Start by maxing out your liability and uninsured/underinsured coverage. Then, get an umbrella insurance policy to increase your liability coverage even more. After those tasks are squared away, pick the biggest deductible that's within the limits of your rainy day fund. Alternatively, consider getting rid of comprehensive automobile insurance entirely if your rainy day fund can manage the cost of replacing an entire vehicle. That way, you can pay lower auto insurance premiums and save money over time.

Google is already selling zip-up sleeves and some stylish cases for the Nexus 7, but now you can add the new folio case to the list. This is essentially a bumper case with a front flap that can fold back and be used as a stand. It actually looks pretty neat.
The folio case comes in black and bright red, just like the Nexus 5 bumper. Unlike the N5 bumper, this is more of a bumper design with the back of the N7 exposed. In fact, the URL calls the case a "folio bumper." The buttons on the N7 folio appear to be separate pieces, not the mushy plastic buttons from the N5 bumper.
This is a pricey case, but might be a good option if you need something with a stand built-in. It ships in 1-2 days if you're interested.
