10 Signs That It Might Be Time To Quit Your Job
Now that Christmas has passed, many people look to the New Year for a new start. You know, ”out with the old and in with the new”. Bottom line, the New Year is a perfect time for a new beginning.
As I made the decision to leave my old job after 9 wonderful years, I initially made a pro/con list of why I should stay and why I should go. Well, I won’t bore you with that...

RARE JFK PHOTO SURFACES
One thing I love about being a journalist is the people I meet. Case in point: a retired judge named Mike Duggan whom I met last month while working on my final report for NBC4 in Los Angeles.

Lunar Corona
I had never seen anything quite like it last night- rings around the moon- something I’m told is called a Lunar Corona. I snapped this photo from my iphone about 11pm Friday. It really doesn’t do it justice.

My Toddler Racked Up A Big iTunes Bill
It’s not the email I wanted to find in my inbox. Two emails, specifically two receipts from iTunes, telling me that Apple has charged almost $80 dollars to my credit card for shit I didn’t even know that I had bought.
At first I thought it must be a mistake, it had to be. There was NO WAY I’d purchase game apps (one cost a whopping 40 bucks). So, I did some investigation...
WatchA powerful wind storm blew into Southern California overnight. Actually things got really insane right about as I was arriving home at midnight. That’s when the Hurricane Force winds blew out powerlines and then sparked an explosion and fire near our home.
Fearing an evacuation, I immediately started packing up essential papers, clothing, pictures and other items. What did MeHubs do?...
