Don't fear the so-called terrorists, the odds of being the victim of such an attack are so astronomically small as to be irrelevant

Fear the domestic politicians that want you to be afraid, because unlike the terrorists, they are the ones that seem to actually hate your freedom and want to take it away.?

If you need some inexpensive earbuds that sound good, I highly recommend these Panasonic RP-TCM125s

I found these earbuds thanks to an article on best buds under $30 on Wirecutter.com http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-headphones-under-30/ a few weeks ago and a followup recommendation from +Andy Ihnatko

For cheap earbuds, these actually sound really good for both music and podcasts with good range and decent bass. Perhaps even more importantly they are comfortable. I particularly like the fact that the plug is angled at 90 degrees which makes it much less susceptible to breakage when its in your pocket. Most cheap and even expensive earphones come straight out so its more likely to damage either the earphones or the plug in your device. 

I went ahead and ordered 3 pairs at $13 each and love them. ?

This video demonstrates some amazing furniture that makes it practical to live in much less space

Some remarkably clever design and engineering goes into making a lot of stuff into a very little space. I'm particularly impressed with the shelves that move down to become supporting legs as the bed folds out of the wall without having to move any of the items on the shelf. ?
