Insanity. After that webinar yesterday…that’s pretty much my life right now. How insane? It’s like this: an hour ago my wife called and said we need eggs. Unfortunately, I was seconds away from home and minutes away from a phone appointment. No time. However, it’s chicken parm night and no eggs = no yummy. Unacceptable. [...]

Download the Report for Free This is an interesting little piece done up nicely by Andrew Makar. The results are fascinating, however there is one major flaw with the procedure.
