Furious Cuts Review
Trying to shift that excess weight and achieve the body you want can be a frustrating experience. Sometimes that's putting it mildly.
If you feel like you're well past the frustrated stage, then it could be that Furious Cuts is the natural fat burner for you.
In actual fact the name refers to You Tube celebrity Furious Pete, the man behind this product. Is Furious Cuts one of those good ones?
Well it promises to raise fat loss, mental focus and physical energy, if it doesn't deliver we're going to be pretty god damn peeved ourselves, Pete. Standby.
We're nice and relaxed because we have no proprietary blends to deal with. That means we can analyze all the ingredients and their dosages.
Click here to find out which products made our top 3 fat burners for 2019.
In short, all the info. Always look for that. Let's check out what we're working with…
How Does It Work?
At a Glance
- L-Carnatine to promote energy
- L-Phenylalanine to sharpen mental focus
- Caffeine to stimulate metabolism
- L-Tyrosine and Rhodiola rosea for stamina
- Cayenne pepper for thermogenisis
The Scores
The emphasis with Furious Cuts seems to be more on providing energy and focus, the weight needing to be cut old school with plain hard work. This is why there's 1g each of L-Carnitine and L-Phenylalanine.
200mg of caffeine will get your metabolism working but may be a little strong for some. Then we're back to L-Tyrosine and Rhodiola rosea supporting you in physical exercise. This is all fine but why not combine it with a much stronger thermogenic profile to heat your body up and get it melting calories automatically?
90mg of cayenne pepper is pretty weak and it can't hold up that end of the bargin on it's own.
$40 is about mid-range for a burner and while certainly not a rip-off given that there are some useful aspects to this formula, the lack of thermogenics and appetite control make it an incomplete product. $40 is no small amount to be shelling out regularly, so it's better to hold out for a brand that brings a bit of everything to the table.
We couldn't find much in the way of written reviews for Furious Cuts, either by way of testimonial section or retail reviews.
Furious Pete seems happy to be his own advertising, assuring us that he takes Furious Cuts alongside some of his other products to get into great shape in just 2 months. That all sounds swell, but we really need more detail. We found 1 or 2 positive video reviews, but you really need more than that to make an informed decision.
As we've said the only real danger that comes from Furious Cuts is losing a few hours sleep to the caffeine, and it's great that he trusts users enough not to fob them off with proprietary blends.
However due to the lack of reviews and feedback from other users, it's difficult to be sure just how much Furious Cuts contributed the body its creator is so proud of. Are the fat burning mechanisms really all that? Certainly the thermogenisis, which should be the main part of a burner, seems an after thought here and Furious Cuts is more geared towards inspiring you to hit the gym.
Also, let's be honest here. We are meant to believe that this guy created a fat burner, got shredded and THEN became famous? Seems pretty unlikely – how about we change the order … "He got shredded, got famous and then created a fat burner to get rich".
Furious Formulations is a company set up to sell Furious Pete. Not just his two supplements (a fat burner and a pre-workout powder) but his lifestyle and success as a bodybuilder/competitive eater/you tube star.
The focus being so much on one guy is cool in one way because it feels kind of personal, but you also lose something larger brands offer which is a wide range of experience from other users similar to your starting point and body type to compare to.
It's a slick website with no real customer service worries but it's too much about the man and too little about the product.
How Do I Take It?
You take 1 serving of 3 capsules a day. This is certainly handy, just knock em back and off you go, but as far as getting results, it's far from ideal.
We know from the way your body breaks down and absorbs nutrients, any single serve burner is likely to provide short term benefits at best. A few hours at the most.
Any Furious Cuts Side Effects?
The only problem we can forsee users having is with the 200mg of caffeine that's here. If you're sensitive to that sort of thing it may be a bit much.
Anyone who's ever got a little espresso-happy will know what to expect in the way of effects: headaches, insomnia, nausea, racing heart, restlessness and so on.
Where Can I Get It?
Furious Cuts is available from the offical Furious Formulations website, $39.99 buying you a month's supply.
Ingredients - In Detail
Vitamin B6
A good choice for a fat burner not only for it potent antioxidant qualities but its noted metabolism boosting effects. B6 also promotes muscle growth by increasing the absorption of vital amino acids and proteins and muscles equal less body fat.
Chromium is an essential mineral, found in green leafy amongst other places, which has a role in regulating blood sugars and balancing insulin. Though there's not much evidence it contributes directly to weight loss, the influence on blood sugars means it can help to contol appetite and lower food intake.
Aliases : Acetyl L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine has consistently proved in scientific studies that it aids the efficient transfer of fatty acids into useable energy, meaning less excess gets stored. The overall impact this has on weight loss had come in for some question of late, but no one's arguing it'll give you a sizeable energy boost which can be put to good use in the gym.
Phenylethylamine HCI
Though completely natural, this ingredient is often referred to informally as the love drug due to marked mood boosting powers observed in some studies. So much so that it is sometimes utilized as part of treatment for depression and anxiety. Besides this it has also shown an ability to increase focus and concentration.
Caffeine / Caffeine Anhydrous
The first burner regular. Caffeine is a great choice for two reasons; firstly it speeds up your metabolism, burning through far more fat, and secondly it provides energy to help you avoid the slumps that normally come with a low calorie diet.
The 'Anhydrous' part refers to the fact that the water is removed to leave a white, crystalline powder with concentrated potency.
Rhodiola rosea
Rhodiola rosea is a scandanavian herb used in traditional medicine which has shown promise in reducing both mental and physical fatigue. Some studies show it does either in a large one off dose or, more likely in a burner a low dose taken over time. This means that while it may not have direct weight loss properties, it potentially can keep you going longer to work it off.
Aliases : Tyrosine
No direct fat burning benefits in this case, but it does promote feel good hormones such as dopamine and in studies has shown it is able to improve both cognition and focus.
Potentially helpful for getting your head in the game on those days when you'd rather do anything but workout.
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne is one of the best natural ways of starting thermogenesis in the body. The capsaicin in this ingredient melts away extra calories by heating the body up, then expends more again as our system tries to cool back down.
Anything Missing?
The thermogenic profile could be a lot stronger here, not just by considerably bumping up the just 90mg of cayenne pepper but also adding some green tea.
A little help with appetite wouldn't go a miss either. You'd think a competitive eater like Furious Pete would appreciate how hard it can be fighting the urge to chow down! A good amount of fiberous ingredients would fill your stomach and keep you feeling fuller for longer
Furious Cuts isn't bad, but it's not that great either. It falls into the trap a lot of burners made by bodybuilders do, spending more time setting you up for a gym session than helping your body better burn fat.
We get it, it's a mindset thing and it's not like the rest of us aren't prepared to put in some hard graft! Seriously though, come on. Make with the thermogenics and help a brother (or sister) out here.

This is a presentation to get the Board or Governing Body thinking
about the future, thinking long-term, beyond the more mundane
day-to-day problems of the organization. A needed lead-in to
Goal-Setting. Raises their sights:
This module looks in more detail at some of the trends
that are out there and identifies what inferences can be drawn
from those. Participative with the Governing Body.
What are the top ten items you'd like as an individual to see
in your obituary? What are the important things to you? Perfect
attendance at Rotary for 30 years. Musician, played the fiddle. Committed
Bachelor, just like to fiddle around.
This gets them thinking of what they really value, on a more
personal level.
If they are comfortable sharing the information,
that can build a bridge between them, letting them each know
what's really important
to each other. If they're not comfortable with that sharing,
then it's still useful in making them think.
About a fifteen minute paper and pencil exercise.
The founders put off the slavery question until 1808. 20 years. The
length of a lifetime at that time. The most intractable problem
of the time was postponed, so the country could move ahead on
the biggest change possible—uniting the country. Had they fought
the battle out at the time of the writing, the Constitution could
not have passed.
What are the top ten things
you'd like to do
if you knew you only had a year to live?
This gets them thinking of actions to take to live their values.
About a fifteen minute paper and pencil exercise.
Define each city service as one of three categories:
Basic Services are those that
are in the judgment of the Governing Body the most essential
to provide for the health,
safety, and general welfare of the City. Usually those are seen
as Police, Fire, Streets, Water, Sewage Treatment. But more
and more this list is being expanded.
Maintenance of Effort are those
services that the City provides to protect its investment in
to keep its commitments, and to provide support to other
services. Debt
service, Financial services, street maintenance, building
maintenance are some of those that would be in this category.
Quality of Life are those amenities
that add to the life style of our people and the quality of
our communities. Usually
people think of parks, trails, pools, art as items for this category. Many
of the outside agencies that seek funds fall into these categories
as well.
Discussion usually follows
on whether a pool, say, is a basic service to help youth stay
out of trouble,
so could be
a police support program, the value of arts, and so on. It
usually allows the governing body to engage each other in
a structured
way about the underlying philosophy behind each service the
city delivers.
This allows the Governing Body to look at services and develop
a feeling for priorities.
This is about a one to two
hour exercise working from a list of all current services that
the City Manager
will help
prepare. The Governing Body will discuss each service and decide
which category it is. From there, the background has been
laid on where the City is as the Governing Body sees it and
how to
look at the future.
This is a module about how to be a successful governing body
of any entity, private, public, or third sector. Based loosely
on John Carver's book, Boards that Make a Difference,
it emphasizes how a Commission can get the most out of its staff,
how to strengthen the Commission and its members, and how to
strengthen the organization over all.
The key point is that it is not difficult to be a successful
Governing Body, but it takes a mindset that is
different from most other endeavors the members have
experienced. Running
for the Commission is a lonely, stick-your-neck-out effort. Being
successful is through hard work. Being successful on the
Commission is dependent on the ability to work with others,
and to let others do the work. That's not the same skill
set. So it's counter-intuitive and needs discussion
on how to perform to be successful and make the others
One of the points is not to have too many goals. Six
to ten is a workable number for a year. Many groups try to have
75 goals but too much on the plate creates paralysis. The
way the Governing Body can move the city the fastest is to
the organization to accomplish the first five goals and then
come back for new priorities.
Another key point is to have Goals that are sufficiently
defined so that the Objectives necessary to accomplish
the Goals are measurable and measure what is important: outputs. If
they want to get to a goal of a particular service delivery
parameter—such as Stronger Public Safety, they need objectives
that reach that Goal—such as faster police response, say. They
need to phrase that in a way that emphasizes the output desired. My
favorite approach ties outputs into all the factors of Total
Quality Management: number of events, speed, customer satisfaction,
and cost. So it says it like this: "Police will respond
to 3,452 emergency calls for service within 4 minutes
on average with a satisfaction level of 80% of the callers
of the time at a cost of $37.52 per call."
That is the ultimate output-based performance
measure and it allows the Commission the ability to monitor
speed of response,
citizen satisfaction, number of calls, cost per call, and
percentage of successful performance annually. Each year one or more
of those elements can be improved, providing Continuous Improvement
on the part of staff, and easy monitoring on the part of the
Governing Body.
Formal Goal-setting begins with a three-minute
example of what leadership is, from Michael Hart's book The 100. The
Most Influential People in History. Conclusion is that
successful leadership is a combination of Vision and Action.
First, the Governing Body is asked to visualize the community
in 20 years. Take 15 minutes and think about it and
then share what is developed with the group, another 5 minutes
At this point the Governing Body is ready to set the course
for the community for the next five years and then next year,
the first year of the five.
Doing it in that order keeps the Governing Body thinking strategically,
looking to the 5 Year Goals Plan. The period is beyond
anyone's term in office and so will need to have the force
of public support to be implemented.
The 5 Year Goals are where the community wants
to be at that time. What the Governing Body wants to see happening
in the community, happening in the organization, and happening
The First Year Goals are Action Steps
that move the City toward the vision of the 5 Year Goals. If the agenda of
one member doesn't fit in the five-year goals, it's not likely
to be the focus of the First Year.

A nonprofit board is comprised of highly successful and influential people in the community you serve. Chances are good they're also your biggest supporters, often times your largest donors, and your largest advocates.
But aside from these three important traits, what else makes a nonprofit board uniquely successful? After all, it takes more than just ardent support to make a nonprofit successful.
According to a recent study conducted by The Bridgespan Group, the board is becoming more important, and the spotlight on them is consistently growing brighter. They extensively reviewed literature on the subject of effective boards, and conducted a series of interviews to get to the bottom of what exactly makes one board more effective than another. What they found might surprise you.
Financial and legal oversight fall into the most basic of duties for a board. The most successful boards have their hand in approving key financial plans, and monitoring the overall financial health of the organization. On the legal side, the board should be ensuring audits are being run independently, risk is managed appropriately, and all legal requirements are being met.
Ultimately, however, the most successful board is the one who strictly adheres to the mission of the organization while maintaining oversight on key points.
The most successful boards are ones that are effectively using the skills of the board members. While this sounds fundamental, clearly defined roles on a board is all too often overlooked. This also requires everyone on the board has a thorough understanding of everyone else who is currently serving.
Ensure the role of each board member is clearly defined, that there are check and balances in place, no one is stepping on each others' toes, and that everyone serving on the board understands exactly what the strengths and weaknesses are of everyone there.
Your board is only as effective as its culture. This might sound strange at first, but consider this: If your board's culture is one that caters to one specific department, or does not place emphasis on having a balanced and fair discussion, your board will unequivocally be less effective.
Make sure the atmosphere allows for collaboration, friendly banter, and an overtly high level of participation from all parties.
Decision-making process
Building on point #3, here, to make your board more effective it is imperative that the decision-making process is fair and there is involvement across the board. Make sure that the board understand what decision it does have impact on, and what decision s they will only hear about from the executive director. Making certain this kind of information is clearly divulged in the agenda for each meeting is a great way to manage and set expectations.
Structures and information
There is no one 'secret sauce' here for what makes an effective board structure. An effective board can be set up in an infinite number of ways. What's important is that whatever structure your board takes that it enables your nonprofit to effectively complete its mission.

A short update...
Feb 22, 2014
|We're back on the road again! Yay!!!! We love visiting family & friends but we also enjoy our 'time alone', if you know what I mean. It's hard to believe that we've been in Arizona for over two weeks. As you know, we attended the three day 2014 Southwest Gospel Music Festival and loved every minute of it. There are some amazing singers out there. Wish I had been blessed with a better than average singing voice. Sometimes the sheer beauty of the voice and the song brings me to tears. Especially Kim Hopper's. Wow, can that lovely lady sing!! You can hear a bit of a personal testimony about the premature birth of her daughter and the beautiful 'Peace In the Midst of the Storm' here if you like: Kim Hopper
Saturday afternoon we moved our home from Southwest RV to Stan & Phyl's where we spent another 5 days. Sunday morning Phyllis & I went to Mesa Market, a giant outdoor venue in Mesa of course, and as usual found several things we couldn't live without. Two lovely Raku pots now grace the Stanneart home and Larry has a new phone case. I love the cheese curds, made locally here in Tempe, and also purchased a new collapsible colander. Jewelry cleaner, a new bread knife, a couple of cool t-shirts for Larry, a sparkly shirt for me and the list goes on. Afterward we enjoyed Panda Express, something we've both been craving. Yummy :)
Monday the guys hung out and we girls went to an afternoon matinee. Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts do one heck of an acting job in August:Osage County but man, was it depressing. Quite the dysfunctional family. This is not a movie I would want to see again. Unlike 'Jack Ryan-Shadow Recruit' with Chris Pine & Kevin Costner which was great. Now that is a movie I can recommend! Larry & I both enjoyed it very much.
Well, I've rambled on quite enough for today. Stop back again soon to hear about our latest RV/mechanical issue. We've got it under control temporarily and are comfortably settled in at Dead Horse SP. We'll be here for the next two weeks. As you know, Sedona is one of our favorite places. Hard to beat the beauty of this area. We plan to do some hiking as well as taking some a few of the lovely driving tours. The weather is fantastic, running in the mid 70's. Just like we like it!

The film follows the course of the friends' lives, from the struggles of childhood through finding their footing in life, to the series of unlikely events leading up to the attack. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board.
The film actually stars the three real-life heroes involved in thwarting the attack – Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone. Judy Greer, Jenna Fischer, and Tony Hale also star in the Clint Eastwood-directed film. The movie hits theaters on February 9.

In today's program Dr. Reminga, from Northern Foot Care Center, talks us about the pros and cons of Barefoot Running. There are those that believe barefoot running is a possible alternative or training adjunct to running with shoes. Needless to say, there are abundant opinions, studies, and analysis about the possible health benefits of barefoot running. However, the jury is still out in regards to running without shoes. Research has not yet adequately shed light on the immediate and long-term effects of this approach to running.
Barefoot running has been touted with improving strength and balance, while promoting a more natural running style. However, there are risks to barefoot running including a lack of protection, which may lead to injuries with increased stress on the lower extremities.
Suddenly running barefoot can be quite a shock to the foot and require a slow adaptation phase. But that isn't the only concern about shoe-less running. Barefoot Running may increase Achilles tendonitis and calf strain and can also increase plantar pain. The bottom of the feet, or the plantar surface, for most people is soft and tender. Going without a stiff-soled shoe may initially cause plantar pain, or in those susceptible, increase the risk of plantar fasciitis.
Listen to today's program to where Dr. Reminga takes a look at the pros and cons of this practice and also weigh-in with his view barefoot running.
Dr. Daniel Reminga's Weekly Radio Show "Your Feet Your Health" airs every Wednesday at 10 am & 5 pm on WKMJ 93.5FM, WMPL 920AM, WUPY 101.1FM radio. Listen to past recordings here.

(Nevada City)The Pennsylvania Engine House number 2 went into operation in Nevada City 1861 and has been in continuous operation since. It is an icon in a Gold Rush town full of visual wealth.
The National Hotel, completed in 1857 claims to be the oldest continuously operating hotel in the west.
Nevada City is home to 3,100. In 1856 the population was 10,000, at the time the third largest city in California. After a series of fires, the fire companies were organized and buildings were constructed of brick and many with iron doors.
The gold and silver rush moved to other areas and the population declined.
Today Nevada City is laid back, relaxed, but the beautiful Victorian style homes remain on the old miner's trails that are today winding and hill sloped roads and streets.
Enjoy one of California's most beautiful towns.
Nevada City is a town of picket fences
Also a town of balconies and sloping streets
Out of the norm juxtapositions and building shapes
Probably won't find this combination elsewhere
It is also a town of walls
and an early fire hydrant
Just up Highway 49 Grass Valley offers a unique tower of its own
This part of the Mother Lode Highway shows that one legacy of the Gold Rush era is homes with charm.
See you down the trail.

- John D. Morgan (Budd Ave) All-Inclusive Playground
John D. Morgan (Budd Avenue) All-Inclusive Playground
540 W. Rincon Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008
This project will enhance and expand amenities at the south end of John D. Morgan Park, near Budd Avenue. The project will design and reconstruct the playgrounds to increase play value and features to allow all-inclusive play.
This project made possible in part by a grant from the County of Santa Clara's All-Inclusive Playground Grant Program.
There are no upcoming events at this time.
In November 2017, study sessions on the Parks Program were conducted for both the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC). Many of Campbell's parks are approaching the end of their design lives and are in need of renovation. Both bodies provided input on various approaches to park renovation. A recurring theme was to address the needs of all demographics in park renovation projects and to explore external supplemental funding sources such as grants.
In 2017, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara established the All-Inclusive Playground Grant Program (AIPG) to provide grants to local agencies and non-profits interested in bringing all-inclusive playgrounds into their communities. AIPG funded playgrounds are required to provide design elements to address the needs of all, regardless of age and abilities. This may include people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Challenges, Visual and Auditory Impairments, Cognitive, Developmental and Physical Disabilities as well as medically fragile individuals.
In March 2018, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit an AIPG application to the County of Santa Clara for the John D. Morgan Park (Budd Avenue) Improvement Project 18-PP. The City committed to allocating $1M in local match in order to receive the $1M in AIPG funds for a total of $2M. The City was awarded the $1M from the AIPG and subsequently entered into a grant agreement with the County of Santa Clara on November 10, 2018.
This project will solely focus on improvements to the existing southern play area adjacent to Budd Avenue. This play area is approximately 1 acre in size, including picnic spaces, play structures, swings, drinking fountain, ADA restroom, ADA parking, and gently sloping grass berms. The proposed project will completely remodel the existing play area into a destination all-inclusive playground. In the end, the goal of the project is to develop a park facility for seniors, children, and parents of all abilities, which aligns with the message, "Parks Make Life Better."
The Project Team presented two (2) conceptual alternatives to City Council on February 4, 2020. Presentation materials associated with City Council Meeting #1 (Study Session) have been posted to the "Other Info" tab.
The Project Team has compiled comments received from the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) and City Council and has utilized these comments in developing a Final Conceptual Design. The Project Team will present the Final Conceptual Design to the PRC in April, 2020.

text: Hi! You may remember me from my posts in May about our problems with our son R. To recap, R is 13 (will be 14 this week). For more than a year, he was dealing vapes, sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night to hang out with friends and deliver his product, stealing from us, trying drugs and alcohol, refusing to let us monitor his social media, sneaking numerous electronic devices into the house, and using his snapchat and instagram accounts to deal vapes. Nothing we tried worked to curtail his behavior...not therapy, cameras in the basement, taking the door off his room, talking kindly, getting angry, consequences, etc. He did not recognize that as parents we had authority over him. In addition, he was bombing school, partially due to dyslexia and partially due to lack of effort. And he was very unpleasant to deal with. With the help of an educational consultant, we picked a therapeutic wilderness program and had him transported there. We wrote and received letters from his weekly and talked to his therapist once a week as well. We also visited him in July and did a lot of reading assignments about the best way to set boundaries, reflective listening, etc. The program staff was incredible. The program itself must have been a big adjustment for him--no electricity, no running water, sleeping outside under a tarp, hiking five days a week, with 24/7 supervision and therapeutic interventions. R has made a lot of progress over the past almost 12 weeks. He has developed much better communication skills, learned how to check in on his own emotions, developed some insight (although limited), and taken a bit of responsibility for his actions. His therapist says he is very immature and that his communication with us is very different than his communication with others--in other words, he is much better able to deal with others than us. On his therapist's and our educational consultant's advice, we have decided to send him to a therapeutic boarding school (TBS) for at least the next year. The hope is that the school will be able to meet his academic, behavioral, and emotional needs. He will be well monitored in a structured setting, with weekly individual and group therapy. The school does not allow use of social media. If he breaks school rules, he will have consequences. We will have unlimited contact with him. Will probably visit him at least once before bringing him to a family celebration over Thanksgiving. At first he was unwilling to consider the TBS and was insisting on coming home. In fact, we got 4 weeks of letters in a row insisting on coming home. After looking at information about the school and having a phone interview with the admissions director, he agreed and now I think he is excited about going--or at least about getting out of wilderness, sleeping in a bed, and using a toilet! He will be brought to me today and then he and I are flying tomorrow to the closest city to the school. My husband is meeting us there tomorrow and we will bring him to the school the next day. I am hoping everything goes well and that he does not challenge our boundaries while out of a structured environment. I will say this: therapeutic wilderness is very expensive and therapeutic boarding is beyond very expensive. We have hired and Special Education attorney and had additional neuropsychologist testing done to try to make the case for the school district to pay for some of the placement. I don't know yet whether they will do so. We are so very fortunate that we are able to pay for this. My hope is that R will thrive at the new school, follow the rules, earn himself up through their levels of privileges, continue to learn how to communicate with us, develop more insight and maturity, and be able to leave the TBS in a year to either start our public high school, a private day school in our area, or a regular boarding school. I'm sure there will be boundary testing and setbacks. My hope is that my husband and I will be able to face them without falling back into our own bad habits (for me, yelling and not listening, for my husband, attempting to rescue R from unhappy emotions). I'm following you all. Best wishes!

Commercial Floor Cleaning Services in Columbia, SC
Whitehall serves the businesses of Columbia, SC and surrounding areas with an extensive list of floor cleaning services. Not all commercial floor cleaning is created equal, and we don't approach every business' client with out of the box solutions. No matter if you need carpet cleaning, hard floor cleaning, or some other cleaning service, we can provide the consultation and implementation of a solution that fits your unique business.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Business carpet gets a lot of foot traffic. Doesn't matter if it is a public floor, or the carpeting that covers your office, it's probably going to get dirty much faster than carpet you would find in a home.
That's why we suggest that businesses large and small set up a regular carpet cleaning schedule for their place of business. Our office carpet cleaners can come in quietly and quickly, minimizing any disturbance to your business operation.
Dry Carpet Cleaning for South Carolina Businesses
If you want to minimize disruptions even more, then consider our alternative methods of commercial carpet cleaning.
While we are traditional carpet team cleaners, we also use low-moisture methods as well. Our encapsulation carpet cleaning method minimize the amount of water used during cleaning without sacrificing quality. This means it takes less time to dry, and less time your business is down waiting for your carpets to be cleaned.
Commercial Hard Floor Cleaning
Not all businesses have carpeting. Many business use tile, hardwoods, or concrete as their flooring in order to minimize cleaning. These surfaces still need service, however—and Whitehall can provide that service.
If you need commercial hardwood floor cleaning, commercial tile cleaning, or pressure washing for any concrete surfaces located in the interior of your building, then call our professionals to see how we can get the job done and set up a maintenance schedule, so your floors stay clean.
Pressure Washing and Exterior Service

Hey lovelies, what a dreadfully beautiful rainy day it is today. Honestly as of late my friends/acquaintances have been stumbling onto my blog and I thought it was time to write about why I don't share it with people. I fully respect why people do share it with their loved one/friends/associates but it's just not something that I want to do.
If people ask me what I do with my free time or why I'm on my mac so much I simply tell them "I'm writing" or "I'm a writer" which factually speaking isn't incorrect because I'm currently working on my thesis. I have no problem with the term blogger, or anything like that but since I spent most hours of the day writing or planning writing or thinking about writing, I think the term writer suits me more. Plus it make me sound slightly less like a loser.
Writing has always been something I've done to get away from my life, the people around me, the thoughts I have that drag me down. Maybe this is where the divide started, I don't know. I feel like when I write I have the space and freedom to write anything I want, especially my mental health - something I don't talk to with people in my life - and maybe that is why I'm so protective of my little space on the internet. If I had my friends/family/acquantances reading my blog everyday then I know I wouldn't be so honest about the things I wanted to say. It's the space that gives me the freedom to do that, and it's not necessarily a judgement thing because I have published writing that people in my life have seen.
Maybe the underline is that I'm simply not comfortable sharing my inner thoughts and feelings with the people in my life and therefor I share them on my little piece of the internet as sanctuary. I just feel like the minute I share it with everyone, my content becomes less about what I want to write, and more about what I want other people to see/read. If I'm honest I really like having my private space.
I mean who knows though, there might come a day when my blog is published in a newspaper or mentioned on the radio and it will become unavoidable to keep to myself. But, for the time being it works for me, I'm not in a position where I live with my family; since I live 100 miles away. With my friends we talk about art and alcohol, I do have previous partners and two friends that do know but they are the select few.
I would love to know if you tell people you know and why, and if you don't share it I'd love to know why too in the comments.

Boxing has become a sport that many, including myself, have come to hate. What was supposed to be a gentlemanly activity (for men and women) was reduced to a pale imitation of itself over the course of the last year. Thanks to the Olympic Games, it has regained some credibility as we're reminded how much the sport means to these amateur athletes.
I have to admit, boxing isn't my first choice of sport to watch during this long fortnight. The unique spectacle of beach volleyball, canoe slalom and showjumping is more of draw than two blokes punching each other with comedy gloves but, late at night, sometimes boxing is the only thing left to watch. Those expecting the same ferocity as two heavyweights pounding out a professional 12-round thriller would be left disappointed, because the tactics in a bout a quarter of the length are completely different. In a version of boxing where knockouts are replaced by the need to gain points, fighters are encouraged to go hell for leather and get those sweet jabs to the face instead of creeping around the outside of the ring.
Outside of these Games, the only boxing I've ever sat through was David Haye's clash with Audley Harrison. Ashamedly, I was caught up with the hype, the immense good feeling between all supporters. I was led to believe it would be an entertaining, close battle between two legends of British boxing. As it turned out, Harrison, gold medallist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, managed to land only one punch in the entirety of the "fight", losing after just three rounds. Haye hardly gave a confident performance himself and it was a downward spiral for both him and boxing in this country. Haye went on to heavily lose against Wladimir Klitschko, blaming a broken toe for his demise, whilst fellow heavyweight Dereck Chisora courted controversy by slapping Vitali Klitschko in their weight-in before spitting water at his brother. Then came the infamous brawl in Munich between Haye and Chisora that led to last month's shameful grudge match at West Ham's Boleyn Ground. With pleasantries shared between the enemies afterwards, you had to wonder if it was one big act and boxing had entered a hole it might take a long time to recover from.
The youngsters competing for Great Britain at their home Olympics are doing their best to reverse that trend and restore pride to a sport that had descended into the madness of WWE wrestling. At the time of writing, Luke Campbell, Anthony Ogogo, Anthony Josuha and Nicola Adams are all guaranteed a medal for Britain by reaching the semi-finals. Andrew Selby, Tom Stalker and Fred Evans are all lying in the quarters, hoping to join their team-mates by securing a minimum bronze, with only three boxers in total crashing out without a medal. In all, only Savannah Marshall failed to get a single victory in London after receiving a bye to the quarters.
Team GB's success has come from good, honest boxing underlined by hard graft in an unforgiving format against tough, famous opponents. I won't deny that it has been hugely entertaining to watch them throw in long stabs before dancing out of the way of tiring rivals, urged on by a partisan crowd and the prospect of winning gold at such a young age. As of yet, these skilled amateurs are not motivated by the prospect of money in the professional game, they just want the chance to box. This is so clear in women's boxing, which was given the chance to shine in the Olympics for the first time. These boxers will probably never get a real chance to box for a living and Nicola Adams' style, rushing in and clobbering her opponents whilst retaining a modest defence, makes me glad that she won't. As I mentioned earlier, the Olympics should be the pinnacle of sport, but it clearly isn't in football and tennis and many would argue that professional boxing title fights are much of an honour. They're wrong. This spectacle comes round once every four years and so it should. Let the Hayes and Chisoras have their money-grabbing sideshow and let the real competitors battle it out for the gold medals and the adulation of a nation.
I do wish they'd stop holding each other every five seconds, though. What is this, Greco-Roman wrestling?
There wasn't too much to cheer yesterday in terms of GB medals, but we are fast approaching our Beijing total. Jason Kenny continued cycling dominance in the velodrome, winning the individual sprint two races to nothing against favourite Gregory Bauge, proving what a good decision it was for the youngster to take Sir Chris Hoy's single place in the event. Earlier, a tense "jump-off" between Britain and the Netherlands' showjumpers went in our favour and GB won their first showjumping gold medal in 60 years, particularly astounding when you know that Nick Skelton broke his neck a few years ago. In gymnastics, Beth Tweddle ended her relatively long wait for a medal as she took the bronze in the uneven bars. After her qualification last week, I was sure she would challenge for the gold, but her dismount ruined those prospects, yet she seems to be delighted at winning the prize.
I'm a little bit late to the show, but I was enthralled by the 100m competition. Although there were only three rounds, it feels like the carnival has stretched over the last four years, what with the Bolt/Blake battle as well as Dwayne Chambers' eligibility and the rise of Adam Gemili to claim junior gold. Obviously, it was fantastic news that our three hopes made it through to the semi-final but they were never going to make it to the final showcase with the depth of talent in the field. It was always about the Jamaicans and the Americans and only one of them came out on top.
Almost all of the pre-race attention was focused entirely on Usain Bolt, with almost every pundit unfairly declaring that the 2008 Olympic champion had already won. Had they forgotten that Yohan Blake, Bolt's training partner, had already run faster than him twice this year and was the world champion? I felt it was his time but I'm glad to be proven wrong, as Bolt is a fantastic winner. Whatever happened, Jamaica is a dominant force in sprinting and probably will be for a long time to come, just as the Kenyans and Ethiopians dominate distance running. Since that night, everyone has speculated what Bolt will do next. Will he defend his title at the age of 29? Should he move onto the 400m and destroy those records, too? Has he really asked to be a trialist for Manchester United? Right now, the 200m is his priority and I wouldn't put it past him to win it all over again.

My specialisation here at FeelFit Gym is Body transformation, If your goal is to gain muscle or lose body fat, I am your guy! I first found myself in the gym in 2012, I was always the smallest guy in my group of friends. I had a goal and was to get myself fit and strong enough to join the British Army, so in 2013 enlisted to join The Rifles. Towards the end of my Military career, I had to have a knee operation and since then it has been a rollercoaster of journey, including breaking the leg first day off crutches. I left the British Army in Feb 2018. I was lucky to have the chance to go to a military rehabilitation centre for 6 weeks and this is where a lightbulb in my head lit. I want to help people reach their own fitness goals. No matter the barrier/hurdles!

website feedback:
Music critics (and many a "consumer") these days seem always to
be seeking novelty for its own sake, but good music is always
good music, and skillful and interesting songwriting is always
a welcome surprise. Any read through Sophocles' plays (for instance)
would remind us that there are very few new story lines, just
new ways of telling them. And this kind of reproduction or renewal,
taking existing forms and making them new, reorienting them to
our own time zone, always signals the best kind of human life;
it is the hope of progress that doesn't forget its roots. Thusly:
Waycross is Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath run through a country
and western filter and powered by girls. In other words, they
are this recombination of old with new, Antigone defending the
law of her god before and in the name of the law of the state.
The band is full of people you may or may not have seen playing
music before: vocalist Caroleen Beatty fronted the Bedlam Rovers,
Sunshine Haire played guitar for them; Bruce Ducheneaux played
bass for Bomb and Gifthorse; Doug Hilsinger played drums for Spokepoker
and Assassins of God. In Waycross they combine to form that perfect
mixtureof lyrical profundity, musical depth and good old wall-of-soundthat
links the body to the brain without letting one rule the other,
and always reminds you of what you forgot you were looking for
when you find it.
This is the kind of songwriting that sticks. The songs are delightful
to the ear, but not too easy on the mind, and this is meant as
praise. Of course such a feature makes the music approachable
on more than one level. One can simply enjoy it for the great
melodies, the vocal harmonies and the kick-ass guitar. But in
the end the listener would be hard-pressed to escape unaffected
by the words.
Many of the lyrics create the effect of being the residue left
by a masterful dark novel, of the kind typically American, southern-but-gothic,
maybe Faulkner or any of the more skilled writers who inspired
Nick Cave to become a novelist. A Waycross song is the crystallized
version of the story that follows years after reading, when you
remember only the impression the book left, the air it made you
breathe or the place it set you back down in after it took you
up for taking it on. "In spite of straps and cripplings may your
legions grow wings/the clouds show some integrity and part to
let you in/I took the taste directly from your lips/And now I
wait along these rails to wrest the empire from your grip."
The songs contain love, hate, ambition and regret, mercy and its
lack, weakness rising up to bite power in the ass, and power throwing
it back. And never do they offer easy conclusions. "I have had
better company to harass and judge me/I have walked out on far
fiercer wars/To this place of peace which frankly disturbs me/And
moves me from rotten to worse." You will find inspiration of a
kind within these songs, because they are powerful, but you will
not be told what to do, or what is right and wrong. It is as if
to say: that decision is properly your own. "And the earth it
would mix to mud/ If we settled to just get along/ Only the troubled
can be redeemed/ Stay ugly like this for me."
Find their CD at independent music stores, or order it from them
directly: c/o 3463-19th St., San Francisco, CA 94110 (alias the
Lexington Club. If you're in San Francisco, stop by to buy it,
and have a drink.). $10 and something for postage.

I am a trans-German. It's not all been easy; to tell the truth, it's been a real slog. Brexit definitely tipped me over the edge, but the signs were already there in my childhood.
Summer 1978. It began with my parents' appreciation of the German education system. They were both teachers who took my sister and me on holiday to the Rhineland Pfalz, where we stayed with teacher friends, Rainer and Eva. In the evenings, Rainer strummed 'Rivers of Babylon' while Eva, wearing an Atomkraft? Nein danke badge, clapped in time. We were out in the vineyards and, although I was only 11, they let me ride their moped. My first impression of Germany: organised anarchy.
Summer 1979. Soon, my sister and I were on our way back to the Pfalz to visit our new penfriends, Eva's nieces. During a four-week stay, Barbara, my penfriend, taught me how to ride her pony and order Himbeereis. We had no adult supervision whatsoever.
Spring 1981. Having developed a taste for independence, I wrote to Barbara's mum to ask if I could stay a second summer. She wrote a long letter back. Her first sentence started with: 'Es wäre sehr schön Dich zu sehen…' It would be very nice to see you and ended '…aber—wir lassen uns gerade scheiden': but we are in the middle of a divorce. 'Scheiden lassen' wasn't in my school dictionary. I didn't even know that those two verbs belonged together in the sentence. My dad, who spoke no German, asked what the letter said. I told him: 'They'd love me to come.'
Summer 1981. And that's how I came to be in Barbara's living room, pinned to the sofa by Christian, her brother, who was trying to snatch the remote control out of my hand. I didn't know he was angry because of the 'Scheidung' or because he'd been brought up 'anti-autoritär', (responding to teenage mood swings with infuriating reason and logical arguments). I just thought he wanted to watch football. Barbara's mum came in and threw up her hands. Then we trooped into the kitchen, and she wrote a report of how the fight started. She actually took statements from each of us and drew sketches in her notepad. After looking at all the evidence, she made us shake hands. This was my first experience of German 'Gerechtigkeit': (justice with knobs on).
Summer 1982. I was fourteen. On day three of a ten-day trip to Berlin with a youth orchestra, I stood on a raised platform on Bernauer Strasse, looking over the Wall from West to East. My knowledge of Berlin – in fact, of the whole of Germany – was patchy, because in history classes, we were still on Henry VIII. I remember watching the figures moving behind the barbed wire and wondering what crimes those Ossis had committed. I had no context for the information the guide was giving us even though I understood the words he is saying. And no inkling that I was looking at the block of flats I would move into 23 years later, on the East side, by which time I'd understood who the bad guys were.
October 1986. Before starting my German degree in Britain, I worked as an au-pair in Hamburg. My main chores were 1) washing, 2) cleaning and 3) mich anmelden. One day the father left a note for me on the breakfast table: could I please put his socks together before putting them in the drawer? I left a note back which I hope said: Could he please put his socks together before putting them in the laundry basket? This way I learned that note-writing in Germany is a convenient way of arguing without raising your voice.
September 1988. On the first day of my German degree course in Norwich, I wore a Sankt Pauli sweatshirt, could swear like a Hamburg sailor and hadn't brushed my hair for a year. In Philosophy, we read Nietzsche. Afterwards I was too depressed to cycle home. It took me an hour, slowly putting one foot in front of the other. Had it been 1998, Google would have told me it's a thing when you read Nietzsche: you become cognizant of the limits to language, knowledge and objectivity. Oh, and then there's Determinism, the idea that we don't have free will, we're merely simulations by greater beings. But, as the internet hadn't been invented yet, I just went to bed for a week.
9 November, 1989. For once I was on time for my Politics lecture at a German university. But as soon as we walked in the door, the professor told us to go home and watch TV. 'Dort passiert gerade Geschichte,' he said: History is taking place as we speak. Back at my flat, I watched East Germans hacking pieces out of the Berlin Wall. Later, my flatmate Günther asked if I wanted to drive with him to Berlin. I said, no, because I had a dentist's appointment to have my wisdom teeth taken out. I was so impressed by the health service that I subsequently had a few other body parts extracted in Germany.
May 1992. I moved to a punk district of Hamburg. By then, seven members of my family were living in Germany. People would ask me all the time why that was. Perhaps they hoped I'd say, 'Because we love your democratic system, work-life balance and excellent health service.' But they always steered me to give their preferred answer: 'Is it because London is so expensive?' they would say. 'Yes, yes,' I would reply, 'London is very expensive.' The Willkommenskultur was already alive and kicking and, like all Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge, I had a dream of returning home, in my case to a cottage in Cornwall.
Autumn 1996. My Hamburg flatmate Thoben and I were not getting along, despite my strict observance of the cleaning rota. He also left me a lot of notes. It's quite amazing how much we actually avoided talking by writing instead. When we did get into a discussion, he said things like 'Das ist ein Denkfehler'. Up till then, I had never heard of a Denkfehler. But he was an expert on them. My faulty logic was pointed out all the time. When I handed in my notice, he told me I had to paint my walls back to white, seeing as I painted them orange when I moved in. I wondered if it was a Denkfehler to tell someone who hates your guts to paint your walls.
Spring 1997. I moved flats in Hamburg. My new flatmate, Gesine, studied marine biology and was away on a ship most of the time. My new flat was sandwiched between the motorway and the graveyard; the building was full of elderly people whose children visited via the motorway and whose spouses departed via the cemetery. Frau Schmidt downstairs visited her husband's grave every day. She always said 'Guten morgen' to me on the stairs. One morning at 4 a.m. after clubbing, I ran myself a bath. Later that day, Frau Schmidt saw me and asked: 'Sind Sie das?' pointing to my name on the letter box and smiling. 'Ja,' I say, unsuspectingly, smiling back. Two days later, Gesine received an 'Untervermietungserlaubnisunterlassungserklärung': a really nasty letter telling her that she was illegally subletting. It took me a while to put two and two together.
Autumn 2005. I moved to Karlsruhe because of my husband's job. Mothers there are often stay-at-home mums because kindergarten closes about an hour after you've dropped the kids off. What's the point in trying to have a job when you only have three hours a day, half of which you spend in a car trying to get to the day-care centre? everyone rightly thinks. Because the truth is, Germany's provinces are stuck in the 1950s. The mother who lived downstairs had four children, a PhD in Chemistry and is a real pro at putting the little Playmobil letters into the Lego postman's trolley.
Summer 2012. Before Brexit was a twinkle in David Cameron's eye, I decided I want to vote in the country I've lived in for nearly a quarter of a century. I wanted to become a German. Half an hour before I sat the German citizenship test, though, I realised I didn't know the words to the national anthem – a question that ALWAYS comes up. 'Quick,' I said to my daughter, a huge football fan, 'how does it go again?' 'Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit!' she yelled as I was putting on my coat. 'Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit… Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit…' I muttered under my breath all the way down Prenzlauer Allee. I entered the exam four minutes late, left 20 minutes early and scored 32 points out of 33. I really wonder about that one point.
December 2014. I went to the anti-Bärgida rally with a friend. We met up near Podewil in Berlin. I was struck by the nonchalance of the demonstrators, who didn't seem panicked that the AfD was gathering so much support. They were just taking things in their stride, doing a little demo, like you do on a Monday night. Banners were unfurled that look as if they'd been carefully stored in a cellar box marked Demozeug, next to the box marked Kinderzeug. It felt comforting to be surrounded by such well-organised lefties. A right-wing party won't get elected to the Bundestag again, I think. Nah.
September, 2015. I threw a 'schwarz-rot-gold' party to celebrate my citizenship. Someone gave me a twenty-volume collection of German poetry. 'How does it feel to be German?' everyone asks. I smiled and said 'It feels great!' Because I will always be too English for brutal honesty.
Thursday 23 June, 2016. To get over the shock of the Brexit results, I went for a swim. I was glad to be in the pool because that way, no one could tell I was crying. Afterwards, I dried off and defriended several members of my family on Facebook. The door on my cottage-in-Cornwall slammed shut. The Uckermark started looking like a real alternative.
May 2019. Germans, on the one hand, ask me what the British want. I tell them: it's as if all those people at school you didn't like are suddenly having their moment. You always knew they were there, but they knew they were unpopular and so kept their mouths shut. Now, they're even running the country. English friends, on the other, ask me when I'm coming back, and I tell them: it's not as easy as that. Yes, they have 'Denkfehler' and 'Untervermietungserlaubnisunterlassungserklärungen' here. But there's no going back. I am trans-German: a non-binary, citizen-queer binational who's into soft, not hard borders.

Ever since the Oculus Rift Kickstarter went live in August 2012 we've been waiting for the day when consumers would be able to order their very own, finished version of the virtual reality headset. And now that day is here.
Well, almost: pre-orders officially open this Wednesday, 6 January at 8am Pacific Time. That's 4pm if you're in the UK, midnight on 7 January in Perth and 3am for east coast Australians.
The news just broke, so we're not sure where in the world you'll be able to order a Rift from, what the price will be or when the final shipping date is. Oculus is promising these minor details are going to be revealed on Wednesday.
The games Lucky Tale and EVE: Valkyrie come bundled with the headset but what you won't get is a pair of Touch controllers: the innovative input devices have been pushed back to later this year while Oculus makes some tweaks to their design.

France aims to end sale of fossil fuel powered cars by 2040
[PARIS] France plans to end the sale of gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles by 2040 as it seeks to become a carbon-neutral nation, Energy Minister Nicolas Hulot said as he presented the country's "Climate Plan" on Thursday in Paris.
Mr Hulot said France will offer tax incentives to replace diesel cars that are more than 20 years old and gasoline cars made before 2001. The government will also end oil and gas exploration in French territory, eliminate coal-fired power plants by 2022 and encourage home owners to produce their own energy.
"The target is a tough one," Mr Hulot, a former journalist and environmental activist, said.
"But France wants to become the No 1 green economy."
President Emmanuel Macron's government unveiled plans to eliminate net carbon emissions by 2050 as leaders from the Group of 20 nations, including all the world's biggest polluters, gather in Hamburg, Germany.
US President Donald Trump will meet Mr Macron, Germany's Angela Merkel and Chinese President Xi Jinping who criticised his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord last month.
On Wednesday, Volvo Car Group became the first major manufacturer to say it will start phasing out vehicles powered solely by fossil fuels, joining a parade of manufacturers shifting toward electric cars.
Volvo says it plans to offer only hybrid or full-electric motors on every new model launched in 2019 or later, and it expects to have five full electric vehicles in its lineup by 2021. That means Volvo will make its last full-gasoline or diesel car in about 2025.
Though electric cars have been around since the 1800s and have gotten a lot of attention in the past half-decade or so, they're still just a fraction of the overall market as drivers balk at high prices and limited driving ranges. Battery-powered autos made up about one per cent of sales in the US, Europe and China last year.

| Message Wall:NebulousViper
|我的中文不太好。。。 I don't know Chinese that well to have a full conversation with anyone and can only read/write a little. However, do not allow this to intimidate you into not asking me questions or talking to me. I don't mind if you write to me in Chinese, in fact, I encourage everyone to write in the language they are most comfortable with, but I will take a lot longer to respond back.
"Bemoan the lack of banana for scale"
—Sims 4
Hey, I'm NebulousViper and I'm one of the admins of Vocaloid Wiki. Don't be afraid to ask me things (though I'll admit that I don't know everything).
I'm usually here creating song pages for original Mandarin songs. It's kind of obvious that I specialize in researching and providing information on the Chinese VOCALOIDs. I also occasionally the Status page (particularly the "Announced Vocals" section). Please keep in mind that I do not speak Mandarin (or Cantonese) fluently and I can barely read/understand Chinese, but I'm still kinda learning it.
I've been a fan of VOCALOID since 2012 and I favor the Chinese VOCALOIDs. I love all of them, but if I had pick one as my top favorite, it's Yuezheng Longya (but I become extremely torn when I have to pick all of them apart and choose). I tend to like all VOCALOIDs as there's always something to like. From each language, I enjoy DEX for English, MEIKO, KAITO, Hiyama Kiyoteru, VY2, YUU, KYO, WIL, ARSLOID, Fukase, and MEIKA Mikoto for Japanese, Bruno for Spanish, and UNI for Korean. My favorite private VOCALOID is Yuecheng, though I also like Zhang Chuchu.
I don't really do anything important for the VOCALOID fandom aside from assisting with the Wiki, although I occasionally work on originals and covers.
Thanks for reading!

Other Wikis
I can be found at the following Wikias:

- DeepVocal Wikia - Regular editor; occasionally active - Edits on behalf of JAE VOCAL PROJECT and affiliates. This role was fulfilled by Mina.Ki previously.
General "To-do" on Vocaloid Wiki
- Mass viewcount updates take place every ten days and performed by bot. I spend three days checking over to make sure no songs have dead links and to tag appropriately if so.
- Alternate between correcting old song pages and making new ones. Most of the time, I'm making new song pages based on my own criteria which is listed in my Sandbox.
- Occasionally editing for upcoming VOCALOID products.
- Make album pages.
- Make producer pages.
The Family
After 5 years since coming across VOCALOID and diving into the fandom, I finally bought my very first VOCALOID. Here is a list of VOCALOIDs I purchased. The list is based on the order I got them in.
Other synths
This doesn't count UTAU and DeepVocal.
Possible wishlist
There are other VOCALOIDs that I'm thinking of adding to my collection, however, I might not do so (depends on my interest in working with the language or whether I'll be likely to use them or not). Chinese vocals are ALWAYS a priority, so I won't list those here. These are not in any particular order (though I'm very unlikely to pick up any of the V1 or V2 vocals to be honest especially if they're dead/there's no codes left. I really hope that these would be updated but I won't be surprised if they don't). I'm not likely to pick up a Korean or Spanish vocal. This list is always subject to change depending on my mood or if I really don't want them anymore.
Album collection
Straightforward right? These are the albums I've collected. They're mostly physical copies, but I do have digital copies if a physical isn't available to me. These are not really in a specific order.
Personal rechecks
Please be aware that there may be R18+ material.
This section consists of pages that are currently undergoing additional edits and fixes. These include, but are not limited to, improving and checking over the lyrics, adding additional/rewording background information, checking for epileptic PVs, etc. The updated pages can be found on my watchlist linked above.
Work in Progress pages
Those that are still in this section are still works in progress and will not move until a native touches them up (mainly background problems, lyric checks, and potential mistakes in the song boxes). They are sorted by viewcounts here. Higher viewcounts are a main priority.
