DC Rainmaker's 2016 Recommendations

If you need a fitness gadget, I'd start with DC Rainmaker's 2016 recommendations.

White Noise Machine

Random recommendation...

In order to get my infant daughter to sleep, we would stand in front of the stove/oven vent fan. The white noise from the fan really seemed to make a difference.

Since standing in the kitchen all night long wasn't really an option, we got one of these white noise machines about eight years ago.

It's been running every night since we bought it. I bet I paid more than today's $31 sale price, but it has been worth its weight in gold.

Unintended Consequences

The rule was supposed to keep beer joints away from churches... but now churches can't use some locations because of their proximity to beer sellers:
“Land just wasn’t available,” Arnold said. “To find 6 or 7 acres of land that you could build on that was affordable was very difficult, but there were plenty of lease spaces … the problem we were running into were landlords being apprehensive about leasing to a church because of the beer permit laws.”

Connect Systems CS750

Connect Systems is starting early with a "Black Friday" deal on the CS750 for $180.
