The flow state is the holy grail for creative people. It can be described as being so in the zone that you lose track of time and the thing you're creating just flows from you with no effort at all.
It can take a little bit of time to get into but once you're there, you can focus for hours without needing to break or rest. It's also very easy to get OUT of the flow state, if you get distracted however. This makes it a very interesting topic and there's a LOT we can talk about with this.
I'll explain it in stages, because for lots of people it's a confusing and elusive thing, much like meditation. But once I explain how it works and what can trigger a flow state, you'll see it's actually very easy and simple to get into the state and STAY there.
I'll also share over 6 flow state triggers and hacks to induce the state easily.
What is the flow state?
The flow state can be also referred to as:
- Being in the zone
- Entering the creative vortex
- Being laser focused
- Losing track of time
- Being 'with it'
- Being 'on one'
- Flowing
But there are lots of names and descriptions for the flow state. It's something that you'll KNOW you've been in once you've experienced it. It feels like you're so super focused and engaged with what you're doing that you lose track of everything else, and the flow state is one of the best biohacks that I know of.
It can make you MANY times more productive, and you'll be able to produce better work as well. It can be described as being in the zone and fully warmed up. For athletes it's usually LITERALLY linked to warming up your muscles actually.
For writers and creative types it's more about getting into the right frame of mind and inducing the right attitude. This can take varying lengths of time and it's easy to lose. It's a goal for many people because you'll be able to do whatever task you're doing EASIER, FASTER and better.
How long does it take to get into flow state?
It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 90 minutes to REALLY get into the flow state.
This sadly means most people never actually experience it. If you think that most jobs interrupt your working every 90 minutes or so for social gatherings, meetings, calls, breaks or lunch time.
It can be hard to enter the flow state, especially when all of the following things can BREAK the flow state, and require you to start from scratch from 0 minutes again:
- Checking your phone
- Getting a phone call
- Talking to someone
- Focusing on something else for more than 30 seconds
- Stopping what you're doing or changing to a new tab
- Moving from one room to another
- Getting up to eat or go to the toilet
And many more things too. It's easy to lose your focus and ruin your flow state. Studies have been done showing that one small micro interruption can ruin your flow state, and force you to start again. So if you're interrupted every 30 minutes, you'll never reach full flow state during the course of the day.
There are several things you can do to induce the flow state faster, and make sure you're not going to get distracted. It's important to realise that it's VERY easy to lose the flow state once you've got into it. It can literally just take one person to start talking to you for you to exit the state.
To enter flow, you need to focus ONLY one the one task you're doing, for at least 30 minutes. That's enough time for your brain to adapt and essentially say 'okay we're doing THIS now, stop seeking other stimuli'. Before that time, your brain has urges to check your phone, and flit between tabs.
It's a bad habit we've developed, to constantly flick between tabs, conversations, and tasks all day long. If you observe your actions over the course of an average hour, you'll see that you naturally check your phone, look around the room, have conversations and so on.
You're distracted and unfocused most of the time.
But with flow state, you're aiming to ONLY focus on the one task you're doing, for at least 2 hours. After the first hour, you'll lose track of time and sort of 'fall' into the creative vortex. You'll have more ideas, come up with better solutions and be able to work faster and more effectively.
It's literally the holy grail for anyone working on something creative.
How to induce the flow state fast
Here are the main steps to reaching and triggering a flow state in your brain. These are aLL important, so don't skip any of them. Also, remember how easy it is to lose the flow state! It can take just a few seconds. This is why it's important to remove ALL distractions and shut yourself off from the world.
MOST offices in the world in most jobs are TERRIBLY optimised for reaching flow. They're open plan, people can talk and shout across the room, and there's distractions and other things going on everywhere you look.
1: Lay out your work FIRST
The first step to reaching flow is working out WHAT you're going to be doing.
In most cases this is something simple, and in one place. You might want to for example:
- Write 5K words of your book
- Draw a new picture
- Study a certain type of verb in a foreign language
- Research competitors websites and business structures
- Come up with creative ideas for a certain project
So you'll find it much easier if you lay out everything you're going to need in front of you. Make sure your laptop has full power, you're next to the charger, your phones on silent and so on.
You want to make sure that everything you could possibly need is in front of you, organised and available. This will vary depending on what task you're doing. In the case of artists, make sure you've got all the paintbrushes, paint and so on that you need right there.
If you're working on a laptop make sure you've got a good internet connection and full power. It's also useful to download or make sure you've got the things you'll need available offline as well. Internet connection dropping is a BIG killer of flow state.
2: Remove all distractions
Distractions can come in many forms. Here are the most common things that will distract you and remove flow state:
- Noises or visual movement in the foreground (This is most common in big offices)
- Losing power or battery on your laptop and having to move to get a charger
- Your phone going off, or someone trying to chat with you
- The internet connection going down
- You thinking about something else (this is harder to avoid since you can't shut your brain off). Meditation helps with this one though.
- Having too many tabs open (Have ONLY the tabs you're using open)
- Having your emails make noises (Don't allow your emails to make notification noises! Turn it off or close the app)
So there are probably lots more but those are the main ones for office workers. To remove them, just close the apps, close the tabs and so on. Make sure there are NO distractions. You want to ONLY be able to see or interact with the task you're doing.
If you even have a little chance of a distraction like a tab open with Facebook for example, you'll fail. You'll notice that someones commented on something and won't be able to resist the urge to check it. Out of sight out of mind.
3: Get back on track from other thoughts
If you have other thoughts, or you start thinking about what you want to do after work or make for dinner, you'll lose the flow state. You need to maintain a focus on what you're doing.
This is a LOT easier if you meditate already, but if not don't worry.
Just try and focus on the task, and if you find yourself thinking about other things, bring your mind and attention back toy our task as soon as you can. This will get much easier with time. As I said, meditation helps a lot with this.
By meditating, you're training your brain to be able to focus on only one task for extended periods of time. This is invaluable when you're trying to focus on just one thing like a creative task. It's KEY to not beat yourself up about failing in this aspect of things.
So, there will be lots of times where you're trying to focus on something and your brain gets distracted or you start thinking about other things. This is normal, and you shouldn't feel bad about it. Just tell yourself you'll try better next time. Also make a note of what triggered you to start thinking about something else.
Maybe the work you're doing is boring? Or you had a tab open, or there was a noise. It's useful to keep a journal to write notes about what made you act and react in certain ways.
4: Use nootropics
Nootropics are a powerful way to hack your brain and enter a flow state faster. The best nootropic I've found over my 6 month experiment with smart drugs was a nootropic called Mind Lab Pro (That link goes to my in depth review of it).
They can be used long term to boost your cognitive abilities and be able to think faster, better and for longer. They're not to be taken lightly though, so do your research and always check the ingredients first. I've found that Mind Lab Pro is the most effective (I've tried a lot).
It's also not caffeine based which is a bonus. If you're interested in smart drugs, read my other post about the best nootropics. This gives a nice easy to read overview of the best nootropics, how they work and which ones might be best to try.
5: Listen to trance music
Trance music has been shown to improve your brainpower and make you more productive. It does this for a few reasons:
- The track mixes are very long so you don't get distracted and have to think about changing the song
- The beats are very repetitive and lyrics are simple, so it's less distracting
- It's pumpy and gets you going!
- The tracks slowly progress and swell over time so you get a build up of energy which is GREAT for writing
So that's always what I listen to. I listen to long hour or two hour mixes of trance, sometimes with vocals and sampling. This is when I'm the most productive. In fact here's my ultimate flow state 'setup':
- Noise cancelling headphones (like these) playing a 6 hour trance mix
- I've slept well for 8-9 hours and woken up STRAIGHT AWAY to get on with work
- I'm in a cool, medium lit room on a comfortable chair or sofa
- My laptop is angled at about 20-30 degrees so typing is most comfortable
- I've taken a nootropic like Mind Lab Pro
- I've laid out all my work and know exactly what I need to do and how to do it
The 17 flow state triggers
There are certain triggers or ways of inducing a flow state which you can leverage to your advantage.
Everyone will have slightly different triggers, but here are the main ones:
1: Attention
Your attention needs to be placed on the one task you're doing for as long as you can maintain it.
Once flow state takes over, this no longer feels like a challenge. But for the first 30 minutes or more, you'll need to focus all of your energy on not getting distracted.
Try and get super engaged in the task. Imagine the whole world's watching you and every move you make is being judged. You have to try and be the best you can at that task. Try and do it better than you've EVER done it before. Type faster, think better and do more.
2: Defined goals
By having a set of clearly defined goals, you make the process easier.
It's hard to work well when you don't know what you're working on, or how to do it. It's much easier to work on something when you have each step laid out in front of you and you know how to take those steps.
This can be something as simple as writing the chapter headings for a book you're trying to write. It could be drawing the outline if you're drawing a picture. It could be sitting down and thinking about how a song should sound, if you're a musician.
3: Instant feedback
Instant feedback helps your brain get into a feedback loop.
You do something, you see that it's good and you keep going. This is a lot easier when drawing something or playing an instrument. In fact I would say this is a VERY easy trigger when playing an instrument.
You play a particular solo or length of music, it sounds good and you feel more motivated, so you keep playing. Next thing you know you've been playing for over an hour and created some beautiful music. It's nice when you're writing to lay out the subheadings and plan the entire article or book out before you start.
This helps you see how much you've written, and how much you have still to go. This I find creates a little bit of pressure and makes you motivated to get it done faster. When you just have a blank page in front of you, it's much harder to stay motivated because you can't see the end in sight.
4: It's a challenge
The more challenging something is, the more likely it is to trigger a flow state (Within reason).
The task needs to be challenging, but not so difficult that you spend half the time thinking about how difficult it is, and how you're not able to do it. This will take a bit of practice to find this balance and actually be able to determine in advance which tasks will be harder than others.
5: There's some pressure
A great way of making something a challenge is to make some form of pressure exist. This can be setting a timer, and telling yourself 'I'll have completed these tasks before the timer hits zero'. This might be a word count if you're a writer, or it could be any other task.
It helps keep you on track, and ensures that because there's that gentle pressure, you're less likely to get distracted. When there's no timer or pressure, you're very easily distracted and you're more likely to tell yourself 'I can afford to check Facebook for a second'.
6: There are no distractions
As I said earlier, the less distractions you have, the easier you'll find it to stay in the flow. This is easier said than done because there are distractions everywhere. Unless you literally lock yourself in a room and block everything else out.

Editor's Note: As with anything that I've written on this blog, I give Wizards of the Coast full use of these ideas and I won't get mad. I mean, I suggested Memnite to see print at the same time Scars of Mirrodin was being designed. We're cool Wizards, just send over some lawyers if you want me to sign some stuff if it makes you feel better (fist bump).
When I was flying down to Texas for the Magic Cruise 3, I had a few hours on the plane with no internet and a wife that was enthralled in Suduko (I have cards, she has numbers). Out came my paper notebook that I brought with me just in case I had some ideas for card design. Who am I kidding, I always have ideas for cards (and if you've got the same fever, you know what I'm talking about). My mind wondered to my GDS2 world that I half-heartly designed. It had been gestating in my mind for a while wondering if I should continue to work on it for fun. My pen connected with paper and out expressed all these ideas that I wish I had thought of the first time.
Time away from a project does bring focus.
Suddenly, I was coming across story and world ideas that I didn't consider in the first place which would've made the whole thing (personally) much more interesting. If only I had thought of them in the first place…
Let's not dwell on the past.
Anyway, besides the awesomeness of the story/world I was cooking up, I wanted to see if I could complete the cycle I was working on. You might remember it:
While I mainly focus on real world design instead of player created ones, I'm going to be a little egotistical here and show my process it about this cycle. For those that like to design their own cards in a serious manner, hopefully this will shed some light into what I was thinking. This is not a "You have to do it this way," but just how my mind came up with this. After revisiting the world, I wanted to see if it could be done.
But before I create the future, I had to revisit the past.

"Salt is the only mineral for which horses have an indisputable appetite, thereby displaying a degree of nutritional wisdom regarding its consumption."From Kentucky Equine Research at https://ker.com/equinews/nitty-gritty-salt/
Salt is an essential nutrient for horses. They can't manufacture salt themselves within their bodies, so they must obtain it from their diet. But have you ever thought about what type or form of salt that you horse prefers?
During a recent trip with my horses to a friend's barn, I noticed that my horse, Shiloh, started licking the Himalayan rock salt that my friend had set out for her own horse. Shiloh licked it like he just found a long-lost friend.
At home, I keep a 50 pound white salt block out for my horse's in their paddock at all times (I learned to put it in the shade under the awning of their run in shed- those blocks get hot to the touch in the sunlight and Summer weather). I also add table salt to my horses' ration balancer during Summer. But I had never given my horses Himalayan rock salt.
After seeing how much Shiloh enjoyed that type of salt, I went ahead and bought one to hang in the paddock. The photos show Shiloh appreciatively licking and nibbling his new pink block. Bear was less impressed. He sniffed it but did not taste-test. I have yet to see him do so. To each his own I suppose.
Fortunately, there are multiple options for providing a horse with salt. There is the option of providing free-choice salt (in a salt block or loose salt in a pan) or adding salt to their grain. Some provide their horses with a mineral lick like the red salt blocks or something similar. These licks include salt plus other minerals (note that the Himalayan salt lick seen above also includes some additional minerals besides salt).
Interestingly, there is debate about whether or not mineral licks could imbalance a horse's diet because of all the mineral additives in addition to the salt itself. Others question if a horse can even get enough salt, much less too many other minerals, from any kind of salt/mineral lick at all. Those folks recommend loose salt instead.
Since I am not a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist, I don't have much personal knowledge to add regarding the appropriateness of one source of salt or another. I do, however, have a list of resource links from several reputable sources on the subject of horses and salt that I found interesting. Lots of information to mull over and help plan your own equine salt usage.

Since its November 1 launch, Apple's new streaming platform Apple TV+ has provoked conversation around new shows "Dickinson," "The Morning Show," and "See." Now, it's gearing up to launch its original film slate, which began with documentary "The Elephant Queen" and will continue with "Hala."
Apple bought rights to the film following its buzzy Sundance Film Festival premiere earlier this year, where it earned critical praise for its sensitive coming-of-age tale and strong lead performance. "Hala" is a semi-autobiographical offering from Minhal Baig, a writer on hit TV series "Bojack Horseman" and "Ramy."
The official synopsis reads: "Seventeen-year-old Pakistani American teenager Hala (Geraldine Viswanathan) struggles to balance desire with her familial, cultural and religious obligations. As she comes into her own, she grapples with a secret that threatens to unravel her family." "Hala" also stars Jack Kilmer as Hala's love interest, and the film also boasts supporting turns from Gabriel Luna, Anna Chlumsky, Purbi Joshi, and Azad Khan.
In his positive review out of Sundance, IndieWire's David Ehrlich wrote: "Eschewing the buoyant energy and/or blistering sarcasm that have shaped many of the best coming-of-age stories in recent years, 'Hala' immediately settles into a more contemplative pace that cleaves much closer to the introspection of 'Columbus' than the rat-a-tat energy of 'Lady Bird' or even 'Edge of Seventeen.' This is a persistently quiet film; always human and alive, but also told with the solemnity of someone who knows they're sending a ripple through a body of water that's been still for thousands of years."
Baig was previously a participant in Ryan Murphy's directing mentorship program. She expanded "Hala" from a short film of the same name, and a feature script which earned a coveted spot on the 2016 Black List.
The film is produced by Clarence Hammond, Jamal Watson, and Baig, and executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, Jana Babatunde-Bey, Marsha Swinton, James Lassiter, Caleeb Pinkett, Ari Lubet, and Aaron Carr. An inclusion rider policy adopted during production ensured the hiring of women in many department head positions as well as in 75% of key below-the-line roles.
Apple TV+ will premiere "Hala" on its streaming platform on December 6. Check out the moving first trailer below.

|Hi, I'am in the process of researching and deciding on which steel roof to go with on my home and have a few questions
Dan Pifs
|This posted too fast! I'm interested in a Gerard shake style roof and was wondering if the coatings on these are know to be problematic? I did a quick google search and came up with 2 reviews and both reviewers had problems with leaks and one had problems with the stone coating coming off after only a couple years.... Do you think I have anything to worry about with the stone coatings on that product? Thanks!
Dan Pifs
|Why don't you go with a vertical snap lock panel with a pvdf paint system. 24 guage grade c steel is what we use. It lessons the risk of leaks compared to the other system and looks very nice
Guest User
|Proper installation is critical to any metal roof. Many of the shingle style products are very attractive and fit well in virtually any residential setting. They also are usually well received by HOAs and ARBs. Stone coatings have been tried and proven and undoubtedly improved over the years. I would suggest talking to the manufacturer and asking them about their track record with their coatings. As for older jobs you can visit. Any product can have an occasional failure. Sometimes unfortunately folks only talk about that occasional failure and not about the thousands of successes.

Violence is consequence of removing moral authority
There are frequent discussions about the escalating violence in our city. There are opinions about the need for more police or the need to control the tools and facilities often associated with such violence. Many people have no answers.
What we're seeing in our city is a change in moral values. Columnist Erika Smith pointed out disagreements that used to be solved by harsh words or fistfights now escalate to behaviors with the potential to end in death. This is a result of a change in moral character.
Responsible people must consider the outcome and consequences of all decisions they make. Current American society wants to remove the source and reason for a moral right and wrong. Please understand the consequences of those actions. Our society will degrade to using violence to solve issues. Death will be an option, not a crime. Our mutual trust will diminish. Our economy and nationhood will suffer as behavioral deviation from a standard of law increases.
We all want a solution to our violence. However, as we remove the reason for a moral right and wrong, we will live with the consequences of our actions, including our votes. Consider instead the reason for and the source of morals.

The choice of activities available for visitors along the relaxed walking course from the Yehiam Fortress (Kala't Jedin) to the settlement of Klil may suffice for a few trip days. The trail begins at the Fort's parking lot, so that prior to embarking on the excursion or upon their return, visitors will be able to incorporate a 90 minute tour of the well groomed national park. Satisfaction guaranteed. Those who are more interested in art are welcome to check the fort compound; consisting of workshops, a Gallery, a Winery and local Beer. Once in Klil visitors will also have multiple options for activity, experiences and food, offered by residents of the unique community.
As aforesaid, the trail begins at the Fort's parking lot, from there it continues south to a convenient observation point that will help set things straight for the observers. Not far from the starting point stand the tombs of soldiers killed while protecting the Kibbutz during the struggle for the state in-the-making. We will descend to the stream and proceed walking leisurely shaded by the typical Mediterranean vegetation. After walking for about two km (as1.2 miles), meeting the Alum ravine on the way, we will join a paved road inside the settlement of Klil. After an additional 500 meters (as546 yards) inside the settlement we will reach the trail's end at the parking lot by Klil's offices. Travelers may continue walking to a point where the Yehiam stream meets the approach road to the settlement.
At this point, travelers will be picked up and shuttled back to the starting point at Yehiam. Incidentally, travelers whose partner prefers to transport the vehicle to the trail's end-point and wait there, may be met by their own vehicles (don't let your partner's miserable expression affect you; it was his/her choice; the shuttle is always an option). Good Luck.

New FBI wanted posters in Capitol riot manhunt
The FBI has released four posters showing dozens of rioters wanted for storming Capitol Hill earlier this week in an unprecedented attack on the nation's capital.
The FBI's Washington Field Office early Friday morning released 40 photos of suspects who illegally broke into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday afternoon while Congress was tallying Electoral College votes that would confirm Joe Biden as president-elect.
Dozens of people, some armed with guns, roamed the halls of the federal building, smashed or dismantled property, and barged into House and Senate leaders' chambers. Meanwhile, Hill staffers and lawmakers were under lockdown or hid behind chairs or under tables.
Police have also announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads them to the suspect they believe planted two pipe bombs at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters on Wednesday.
Benjamin Phillips, a 50-year-old Pennsylvania man; Rosanne Boylan, a 34-year-old Georgia woman; and Kevin Greeson, a 55-year-old from Alabama, died after suffering "medical emergencies" related to the chaos, law enforcement officials said Thursday during a news conference.T
A fourth person -- identified as Ashli Babbitt -- was fatally shot by police during the riots.
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) later announced the death of Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who died as a result of injuries he suffered Wednesday. Sicknick was injured while engaging with the rioters on Wednesday and collapsed when he returned to his office, the USCP said. His death was announced late Thursday night.
The Metropolitan Police Department said Friday morning that law enforcement agencies have received roughly 17,000 tips since releasing images of people wanted in connection with Wednesday's "insurrection."
The FBI is asking anyone who recognizes someone from the wanted posters or who witnessed any of Wednesday's activity to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit information online here.

By: Alyssa Glorioso The wedding that you've been carefully planning won't happen the way you envisioned (and frankly, a few months ago, expected it would). All you've been building toward is being shifted. In an already emotional and stressful process, this is so much more than you bargained for in planning your wedding.

And how much do we need hope these days!

There will be a few things that don't go right on the big day, so just try and go with the flow and have a good time!" —Allison H "The two best tips I received was that no one else knows what you wanted to plan so if it doesn't happen it's OK because no one knows it was supposed to happen and at the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you get to marry your best friend.

The Contagion Myth: Why Viruses (including "Coronavirus") Are Not the Cause of Disease216
The Contagion Myth: Why Viruses (including "Coronavirus") Are Not the Cause of Disease216
The official explanation for today's COVID-19 pandemic is a "dangerous, infectious virus." This is the rationale for isolating a large portion of the world's population in their homes so as to curb its spread. From face masks to social distancing, from antivirals to vaccines, these measures are predicated on the assumption that tiny viruses can cause serious illness and that such illness is transmissible person-to-person.
It was Louis Pasteur who convinced a skeptical medical community that contagious germs cause disease; his "germ theory" now serves as the official explanation for most illness. However, in his private diaries he states unequivocally that in his entire career he was not once able to transfer disease with a pure culture of bacteria (he obviously wasn't able to purify viruses at that time). He admitted that the whole effort to prove contagion was a failure, leading to his famous death bed confession that "the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything."
While the incidence and death statistics for COVID-19 may not be reliable, there is no question that many people have taken sick with a strange new disease—with odd symptoms like gasping for air and "fizzing" feelings—and hundreds of thousands have died. Many suspect that the cause is not viral but a kind of pollution unique to the modern age—electromagnetic pollution. Today we are surrounded by a jangle of overlapping and jarring frequencies—from power lines to the fridge to the cell phone. It started with the telegraph and progressed to worldwide electricity, then radar, then satellites that disrupt the ionosphere, then ubiquitous Wi-Fi. The most recent addition to this disturbing racket is fifth generation wireless—5G. In The Contagion Myth: Why Viruses (including Coronavirus) are Not the Cause of Disease, bestselling authors Thomas S. Cowan, MD, and Sally Fallon Morell tackle the true causes of COVID-19.
On September 26, 2019, 5G wireless was turned on in Wuhan, China (and officially launched November 1) with a grid of about ten thousand antennas—more antennas than exist in the whole United States, all concentrated in one city. A spike in cases occurred on February 13, the same week that Wuhan turned on its 5G network for monitoring traffic. Illness has subsequently followed 5G installation in all the major cities in America.
Since the dawn of the human race, medicine men and physicians have wondered about the cause of disease, especially what we call "contagions," numerous people ill with similar symptoms, all at the same time. Does humankind suffer these outbreaks at the hands of an angry god or evil spirit? A disturbance in the atmosphere, a miasma? Do we catch the illness from others or from some outside influence?
As the restriction of our freedoms continues, more and more people are wondering whether this is true. Could a packet of RNA fragments, which cannot even be defined as a living organism, cause such havoc? Perhaps something else is involved—something that has upset the balance of nature and made us more susceptible to disease? Perhaps there is no "coronavirus" at all; perhaps, as Pasteur said, "the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything."

I Quit Dunder Mifflin Infinity
I quit.
I have left the employment of Dunder-Mifflin/Infinity. I just can't take it anymore. Even I am more competent than the goofballs running their new online company. How will I ever rise to my level of full incompetence is all around me are Dilbert rejects?
First, they didn't hire me as branch manager. I had my application in early and the screwed up and lost it.
I had a great staff lined up. Induced by fantastic incentives.
But as so often happens, reality imitated comedy. The website for DunderMifflinInfinity.com is just all farked up. Half the stuff is "coming soon" the tasks to earn precious Schrute Bucks wouldn't submit. (I had a wonderful piece of art as their logo.)
I helped Creed take on a new youthful look – plumped up his lips with collegen, pumped up his guns with 'roids, got some killer Oakley's and great clothes. He is hot.
The real kicker is when they brought in this kid to run the branch. pbjcool101. PBJ? COOL? 101? What the hell kind of name is that? Especially when you head a branch where most of the people are named adsf jkl;?
And here is his picture:
Yeah! It's a friggin' avatar provided by NBC. Gimme a break.
Well that wasn't fun while it lasted. If anybody wants my $1100 in Schrute Bucks you know how to find me.
What I need is some job counseling.

On the edge of Shuili (水里) town in Nantou County, immediately below the busy road that connects the town with Sun Moon Lake to the north, Ningqing Gorge (寧靜谷) appears on quite a few local maps of the area, but I've never found any info on the Web or elsewhere, apart from a short description in a decades-old local guidebook to central Taiwan that I bought when I first arrived here, and have treasured ever since. That dog-eared, black-and-white book with its fuzzy pictures and rough, hand-drawn sketch maps lacks the full-color impact of today's much more stylish guidebooks to Taiwan, but, while the maps nowadays are infinitely better and the info inside the best books (usually those that confine themselves to just one county or small area) is still amazing, they're still not nearly as detailed as those old books on my shelves, which continue to provide me with the occasional wonderful new discovery after all this years.
Ningqing Gorge is very short and not especially deep, and it's certainly no Ghost Ax Canyon, but in its small way it's a fascinating place, and makes for a great, if brief adventure if you're already in the Shuili area and the idea of scrambling, swimming and wading for an hour or two through a place few people know exists strikes a chord.
To get there drive east along the main road (route 16) through Shuili towards Shuili Snake Kiln and the Sun Moon Lake turnoff, and shortly after the big junction with Minsheng Road (the main street of Shuili), turn left through a simple temple gate up a narrow road beside a row of houses. After the terraced residences, the road strikes left, rises to the top of a concrete retaining wall and strikes across the flood plain of the little Bamakang Stream, which down here is often completely dry during winter and spring.
Pass a small Land God shrine and the lane peters out near a farmer's residence. Park the scooter or car and start heading upstream (the wide, stony bed of the stream is on the right). After a cultivated area the valley narrows; follow the stream gorge upwards (there's no path but the going is easy) and climb over or around a series five or six small concrete dams of varying sizes. Only the fourth (or is it the fifth?) presents a any difficulty – a ladder up on the right is one way round it, or a squeeze through a bamboo clump on the face of the gorge to the left of the dam is also a way through.
About twenty minutes from the farmhouse, the gorge narrows, the stream finally has water, even in winter, and it pours over a small rock face in a tiny but pretty little cascade called Fairyland Falls (仙鄉瀑布). A rope up the steep, crumbly slope to the left of the little fall makes quick work of getting past this little obstacle. At the top simply follow the stream up. At low water it's usually possible to walk all the way to the mouth of Ningqing Gorge without getting wet feet, but after the plum rains have passed, the stream becomes much fuller, and you'll probably need river tracing gear from here onwards.
The gorge, which my trusty old guidebook says was once an enchanting…err… fairyland, is now a bit of a mess, thanks to the ravages of several big typhoons with names such as Morakot and Trami over the last few years. Apart from the occasional felled tree however the going is easy, and in around 20 minutes, the mouth of Ninqing Gorge looms ahead as the sides of the gorge close in like pincers, forcing the stream into a very narrow, deep channel between the vertical cliffs. The gorge sides are only about 15 or 20 meters in height, but it's an impressive place. Within a few meters the water level, even in the dry season, is over the waist, and it's necessary to swim the few meters to the other side of the little pool beneath the cliffs, where the gorge suddenly curves sharply to the left and the stream drops over a small cascade (easily scrambled up) into the next part of the gorge.
Round the corner, the narrow cleft continues about as long again, then, after another little step, the stream emerges from the constriction back into a normal stream valley. The scenery up here is far less devastated than below the gorge, and it's an attractive trace upstream for a bit, but the best part of this stream appears to be already over. We continued upstream for another 20 minutes to a narrow bridge across the stream – a very unexpected sight in this secluded spot, before turning back.
All in all the trip took about 2 hours, and although river tracing gear, swimming gear and the ability to be able to swim are all essential, it's an easy and relaxing place to trace, at least during the dry season. Going in summer would probably be a lot more exciting, but I'd certainly not go when the stream is running very high – getting through the extremely narrow gorge, and especially up the two little steps inside, would probably be dangerous or impossible after heavy rain.

2015 is almost here, which means model year 1995 cars turn 20 years old. For many purposes, that makes them classic cars legally even if the memories of '95 are still strong!
Let's look at the best classic cars of 1995 to that you might be interested in buying or selling with their 20th anniversary coming up:
1995 Honda Prelude VTEC
Sporty and fast even without a turbo option, the '95 Prelude VTEC has 190 HP and a reputation for smooth acceleration, combined with an eye-pleasing silhouette.
1995 Nissan 300ZX Turbo
Fans of the Z series can argue all they want about which incarnation has been best, but the 300ZX from Nissan this year was great on its own merits. Updated style and new fuel injectors made this a great model year of the Z.
1995 Chevrolet Camaro
Always a classic, the 1995 Camaro was true to tradition with a purring engine and great speed. Get behind a stickshift Z28 and enjoy the drive with this one.
1995 Dodge Viper
The first generation of the Viper RT/10 concluded with model year 1995, so this was the ultimate in performance and features before the Viper's first big makeover. Robust performance and a strong, heavy driving feel make this a meaty sports car experience.
Look for these modern classic cars at Old Car Online and enjoy watching these beauties get finer with age.

No-See-Ums, Sand Flies, Midges: How Dangerous Are Their Bites?
As soon as spring hits each your, you know that they are coming. The sand flies, midges, no-see-ums… it doesn't matter what you call them… they are coming. These tiny little mosquito-like nuisances can seem to swarm around you, especially in areas close to the marsh or the beach. They are also known as blind mosquitoes because they buzz around you just the same as any other mosquito they just don't bite as much. So while midges may not leave you itching days later, they still are likely to drive you back indoors.
While these pesky insects are annoying, are no-see-ums dangerous in Florida?
When No-See-Ums Do Bite
Let us point out that when we say midges don't bite as much, it means that sometimes they do and that's important to know.
Sand flies and no-see-ums can transmit disease, although it is rare.
The disease is called Bartonella bacilliformis or Carrion's disease. The CDC says that it only exists in the higher elevations of South America however, as we know, vector-borne diseases can travel. We had a client who recently shared with us that her child became ill from a no-see-um bite.
The symptoms of Bartonella come in two phases. First comes fever, headache, muscle aches, abdominal aches, and anemia, this phase is called Oroya fever.
Next, come lesions that appear under the skin as nodular growths. They are red and purple bubbles through the skin that are prone to ulceration and bleeding. For people with a compromised immune system, there is the possibility of two other complications: Bacillary angiomatosis, which causes lesions on skin, tissue, bone, and other organs and Subacute endocarditis, which is an infection of the heart valve. Bartonella is treated with antibiotics and can be fatal if it goes untreated. The bacterium can also be persistent and resurface over time, long after a bite from that midge, no-see-um, or sand fly.
Sand Fly Protection
Infection from a midge maybe very rare, but that doesn't change the fact that they are incredibly annoying and nobody wants them to ruin their outdoor time this season. That's where Mosquito Squad of Northeast Florida comes in. Our barrier treatment is the simplest way for you to keep midges out of your yard.It eliminates 95% of them on contact. There is no reason to deal with sand flies this summer, let's talk about what we can do for you. The consultation is free and we look forward to helping you have a pest-free summer.
Call us today at (904) 844-0816 or contact us online for control services targeting no-see-ums, midges, and sand flies in Florida.

"Manufacturers of equipment implementing 5G technologies should consider strategic oppositions and invalidity proceedings outside the United States against SEPs held by major licensees."
A wave of thousands of 5G Self-Declared Standard Essential Patents (SD-SEPs) applicable to everything from devices to network infrastructure is fast approaching. The graph below shows the viral growth in the number of 5G self-declared essential applications published on post-2000 inventions.
Chart produced from Unified Patents Portal
The value of these patents is 6-10% of the retail product value, if recent LTE SEPs court decisions are to be believed. However, ex ante 5G licensing rates announced by traditional licensors Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia, and Interdigital total around $18 (or 3.6%) on a $500 handset. Yet these licensors hold less than 17.4% of the relevant 5G SD-SEP families, which would make the total royalty burden 20% or higher.
Implementers faced with high SEP licensing cost and uncertainty typically mitigate risk by: (1) using licensed components, (2) receiving indemnification, and (3) leveraging defensive portfolios. But there is another strategy that should be considered given the tools which are now available: preemptively challenging patent family validity in foreign jurisdictions that are relatively quick, inexpensive and often more effective.
SEP Tidal Wave
There are 94,000 active grants and applications (25,700 families) 5G SD-SEPs as of September 2020. Of these, almost two-thirds (64%) have not yet been granted. If LTE is indicative of the future for 5G, the numbers will continue to compound. LTE SD-SEPs grew almost 5% annually from 2011 to 2020. Assuming growth for 5G SD-SEPs is the same, this means by 2030 there would be more than 150,000.
Chart produced from Unified Patents Portal
Calculating the 5G Device Landscape
Not all 5G patents apply to devices (in 3rd Generation Partnership Project parlance called "User Equipment" or "UE"). Using CPC codes to patents litigated against LTE devices and sampling for effectiveness, we identified about 79,800 5G patents and applications (12,300 families) that could apply to UE.
As with LTE, we can expect many 5G SD-SEPs will be found non-essential when challenged. Not surprisingly, there has been very little consensus on this. In the Unwired Planet v. Huawei (UK) LTE trial, experts differed on essentiality by almost 22% and the court held about 25% of SD-SEPs were essential. Costly eyes-on SEP reviews continue to be criticized for being: (i) too keyword reliant, (ii) having substantial sampling bias, (iii) using unqualified experts and/or not providing enough time, (iv) not taking into account undeclared patents, or (v) not weighing patents differently based on their perceived value to the standard.
Unified Patents' AI-based Objective Patent Landscaping tool (OPAL) uses all 5G SD-SEPs as a positive and all 2G, 3G, or LTE SD-SEPs not declared in 5G as a negative training set. A higher OPAL score means a publication is more semantically similar to the training set.
Chart produced from Unified Patents Portal
Filtering for semantic similarity above 0.75, OPAL identifies around 9,700 5G SD-SEP UE families that most likely to be 5G. In addition, OPAL also identified 5,000 other families not self-declared at the same similarity.
Top 20 Holders of 5G Self-Declared UE Families in US at >Similarity 75
Chart produced from Unified Patents Portal
OPAL identified about 5,000 5G UE SEP families with a U.S. counterpart and of those about 75% have a European Patent (EP), Japanese Patent (JP), Korean Patent (KP), or Chinese (CN) counterpart. Non-U.S. counterparts represent an invalidation risk to their U.S. family members due to quicker and more effective foreign validity challenges. A successful foreign opposition provides strong arguments for showing invalidity in the United States and other countries.
Top 20 Avanci Members per their 5G SD-SEPs UE Families in US at >Similarity 75
Opposition and Nullity Proceedings Outside the United States
Most countries offer post-grant opposition proceedings to improve patent quality. In the United States, the inter partes review (IPR) process was established under the 2011 Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA). An IPR's high costs ($300,000 to $500,000) have prevented invalidity challenges in that forum from becoming as prevalent as European Patent Office (EPO) oppositions. In fact, 6% of all EP grants are opposed, while only 1% of all U.S. grants are challenged.
The EPO, Japan and Korea today offer effective opposition processes. Challenges outside the United States are often more cost effective than U.S. IPRs. In some cases, 6-10 patents can be challenged outside the United States for the cost of a single U.S. IPR. China does not have an opposition process but its invalidation process is quick and open, serves the same result and provides more flexibility. The table below compares foreign country opposition procedures.
Effects of Successful Foreign Oppositions
The value of major 5G portfolios can be affected by 5G challenges in the EU, Japan, Korea and China.
As a case in point, Avanci's LTE members, likely candidates for a 5G pool, hold around 5,200 5G SD-SEP UE families. About 50% of those have no US publication which usually means a lower licensing valuation. Almost 80% (1500 families) of the 1,900 could be challenged in the EU, Japan, Korea, and China.
While successful validity challenges of a patent in the EU, Japan, Korea and China do not conclusively prove the invalidity of the U.S. counterpart, the successful arguments used in these challenges have been effective in the US and used to argue lower portfolio values.
Studies show challenges also reduces patenting by 15% by the same or similar entities. In a 2019 study conducted by Markus Nagler and Stefan Sorg on the basis of 30,000 EP oppositions from 1994 until 2010, showed successful ones reduced the volume of future filings by the same inventor.
Look Overseas for Success
Manufacturers of equipment implementing 5G technologies should consider strategic oppositions and invalidity proceedings outside the United States against SEPs held by major licensees. These challenges cost a tenth or more less than typical U.S. challenges and could impact the licensing value of up to 50% of the self-declared families of the major SEP holders. Successful challenges also could produce the added future benefit of reduced patenting and increased patent quality.

Fitness Consistency
As the holiday season approaches and 2020 starts to draw to a close, finding time to get workouts in can often seem harder and harder.
Whether it's travel, family/friend gatherings, or a loss of motivation during the winter months, it can be hard to get it in. I find that a slight change to my training routine can help with the increase in unpredictably to my schedule.
Knowing that consistency is truly key for long term progress I rethink my priorities. I commit to minimum two workouts per week and pick two movements for each session I want to work on, one upper body one lower body.
Two sessions gives you flexibility to move them to different days of the week if your traveling and the two moves lowers the mental barrier to get in the door that people have when they know they have a long workout.
Now I allow myself to do more than two moves per session if I have the time, energy, and motivation but I don't pre plan it. If I get in my two moves and that's all I have time for I see it as success and get out of the gym. If I want more I do as much as I desire and see it as icing on the cake.You make look at this and say two workouts, two moves each, that's not enough....is it?
A couple of important notes on that:
You want to make the moves compound, think squats, pull-ups, etc.
You want to try HARD, like actually put in effort if your only doing two movements per session don't leave much in the tank. Put on some music, focus and get it done.
We are trying to maintain, not necessarily improve. Most people have a hard time training at all over the holidays much less improving. Two hard sessions a week is more than enough to maintain if you have a hectic schedule at the end of the year.
As much as people preach no days off, hard work, etc. It really doesn't work for most people, I can tell you from experience if you have a hard time with motivation committing to more often backfires, try less first.
Let me know if this helps you stay consistent during busy times and feel free to reach out if you need more guidance.

For instance, I'm a Green Day fan, I guess my first known exposure was during Seinfeld's farewell montage; "Good Riddance" (Time of My Life) was the background music, and the song was perfect. During the late 90s and into the new millinium (lol, does anyone say that anymore?), I listened almost exclusively to contemporary Christian music, that of the pop variety. Now, looking back, I was pretty one-dimensional in those days, really almost sleeping my way through life, but that's another story. I'm not proud to admit I pretty much thought if you listened to anything else, you might have just purchased a one-way ticket to hell. This was a sub-conscious thought, nothing I was even aware of, but I can recall being "concerned" that a "Christian" would listen to anything else. Ugh...the arrogance, smugness, sense of superiority...ouch :(.
Let's fast forward to now, without me webbing or convuggling. OBVIOUSLY, if I can call myself a Green Day fan, that's no longer the case. Suffice it to say that following a time of spiritual desert, God found a way to break me and then build me into a woman who loves Him deeply, but stripped of much of her pride and arrogance (although those things still find ways to creep in when my focus slips even a smidgeon). I'm little more than a ragamuffin, and that's enough, because God loves me, chooses me, forgives me, accepts me, graces me and redeems me, in spite of my imperfections. Ah, but I'm a daughter of the King....the King of Kings...and I bear His image...and THAT makes me a princess:)! Now that's good stuff!
Anyway, I AM webbing, so back to me being the bad guy (sorry....).
The only GD songs I've heard are those given radio airtime; we don't own any CDs. Thomas wanted to download American Idiot (nice title), but when I googled the lyrics and saw the F-bomb in the opening stanza, I nixed it. THAT wasn't hard to be the bad guy, T understood.
I've wanted to hear the rest of the "American Idiot" CD (everything I have heard, I liked, heck, I even liked the title track until I read the lyrics.). This weekend my sister-in-law handed me the jacket (is that what you call it?) from her gifted copy of "American Idiot". Ai yi yi! half the songs drop the F-bomb. More? I can't remember. I gotta tell ya here, generally speaking, profanity isn't offensive to me (exceptions of course--excessive or gratuitous use, taking the Lord's name in vain, an adult who knows better in front of children, say, at a sporting event, etc.).
So, I'm left with a dilemma....it seems to me, I can't in good conscious listen to it, and that ticks me off! Like I said, it's not personally offensive, and honestly, when I listen to music, I rarely hear all the lyrics (I'm EVER THANKFUL for the availability of lyrics online, to help me help my children--me--make good choices). But, in light of my desire to please God, to let Philippians 4:8 goven my thinking, it seems like the decision is made for me.
This is not a "living under the law" issue to me; I am NOT a legalist! But........I know my kids are watching me (which is just ONE reason I'm having to re-learn how I drive, cusswords cusswords, they KNOW I'm the one with the lead foot in the family :/ and are quick to tell ANYONE about it!). They understand why I won't buy a Green Day CD...and now why I won't even listen to the rest of their stuff (unless it's free of the garbage).
My tongue is an issue; it's quick and at times wicked. My kids know this (well, anyone who knows me knows I'm spicy, and not always in the "good" way). This summer we "eliminated" some words from our vocabulary, and anyone who uses them gets to enjoy a spoonful of vinegar for 30 seconds. Guess who was the first person to use one of the prohibited words? Yep...me...and for the record, you can't rinse your mouth with water after the 30 seconds and THAT...IS...NASTY! (but hopefully, lasting in effect) Why is it whenever a "law" is passed, I'll rebel against it? It'd be funny if it wasn't the truth.
Anyway, the bad guy. I have to say "no" to not only my kids, but sometimes myself. It's never fun. But often times, the right thing to do is also the most difficult. I can live with that.

OK a couple of things here....
We all struggle day to day on living the right way. I have really been struggling a lot later (but I digress - this is your blog comment space - not listen to Cheeky whine space - that is my blog LOL).
I think you are doing the right things and trying to set an example for your children - one which they will not forget I might add....
As for the cussing - I don't do it in the house - and when I do its usually when I am alone...but using vinegar to deter me would just not work - I LIKE VINEGAR...yeah I know - twisted...
Loves to ya Robin - you rock!
- At August 07, 2006, Robin said...
Hmmmm, me thinks perhaps Balsamic vinegar is the way to go for myself...the gooooood, expensive kind you buy by the ounce at my favorite kitchen store....I think you're on to something. The kids would NEVER try that one, it looks too disgusting (they inherited my visual eating gene :/). Get this, my daughter HID the vinegar, so so far I'm the only one who's actually "paid the price"...I keep forgetting to ask her for it. Guess that means you know where I'm headed now.
(thanks for the happy words)
- At August 07, 2006, Karmyn R said...
It is so dang hard to be the role model!! And it just isn't choosing the right music or movies - I have been trying to be careful about eating correctly in front of my children - especially since my daughter has a major sweet tooth! I don't want her to have years of weight battle like me - so when I get the munchies, I am trying to remember the healthy choices - it is so hard. Can't hide eating chocolate and ice cream. it sucks being a mom sometimes!!!
- At August 07, 2006, Heather said...
Here's the harder thing about Phil 4:8 for me: it comes directly after the whole rejoicing always, acting with gentleness, not being anxious, all because we have the right focus of the Lord being near so that we may enjoy His peace. So, it seems that 4:8 follows that: thinking rightly about values and priorities and material and hard times. That's what is hard for me to model. I'm rather attached to my complaining.
- At August 07, 2006, willowtree said...
Thanks for dropping by robin, if you need to escape the constrictions of being an exemplary christian, I'll make sure I've always got the occassional cussword on my blog for you :) Come to think of it, I cuss more when I talk than when I write, but then I live with two dogs and two cats and they can sometimes bring out the worst in me (but mostly they bring out the best)
I totally agree about the vinegar thing, if it was balsamic I'd produce a stream of profanities just for the reward!
- At August 07, 2006, Susannah said...
Beautiful. I love your honesty and transparency. Being a Mom gives us an education we didn't plan on doesn't it? It's a good thing!
- At August 07, 2006, Pamela said...
not a bible quote, but one of my favorite:
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

(but don't look at me...... I'm not preaching, no sirreee bob)
- At August 07, 2006, Malissa said...
great post.
So true that we are not under the law but sometimes standards are necessary because it's better for us.
The "all things are lawful but not all things are expedient" verse comes to mind.
eww on the vinegar!
- At August 08, 2006, Amanda said...
I haven't heard any of Green Day's new music, but I can say that I enjoyed them in the early part of their career.
I was reading your post, thinking about the very purpose of music; it is an expression of one's feelings, or perhaps a record of an event. When someone is so moved by a feeling or an experience, they tend to include profanity to help emphasize what they feel is important. (Not that you didn't already know that... )
Point being, don't feel guilty for listening to Green Day (or any other band for that matter) that uses "big people" words. You don't have to love the words they are using in order to love their message. (or melodies)
Sorry, maybe I should have commented on something else first. We don't even know one another!! haha But really, I am glad you broke out into other music, I think it is very important to be open minded about that kind of thing.
- At August 08, 2006, Pamela said...
hey robin... in regards to the hummingbirds and your feeders.
They were probably dancing to Green Day. There is a reason they call them hummers.... because they never sing the bad words.
ps. the hummers were probbaly young ones staking their territory and trying to chase each other away. Fun to watch..... or perhaps your feeder needed a fresh batch of nectar.
- At August 08, 2006, said...
I know this isn't deep, but I have a question that has been left unanswered since I was a small child....WHO DECIDED WHAT WORDS ARE CUSS WORDS AND WHICH ONES AREN'T?????
- At August 08, 2006, Pamela said...
#!*#* Yeah? Good question!
- At August 08, 2006, Jana said...
Very insightful post! If Shelly wants to email me, I can tell her why certain words came to be "bad" words, in English at least. But I agree with you that I don't really have a problem with vulgarities from other people. I just don't like to hear it in my house. I think you're right to keep songs with words like that out of your home.
- At August 08, 2006, Unknown said...
Great thoughts here! I also hate that some things that I would really enjoy (such as movies, etc) without a big dose of profanity or just smut are ruined for me. It makes it hard to say "no" but it's the right thing.
- At August 08, 2006, said...
Good for you :). I enjoy some non-Christian music alot, but mostly it is instrumental. Even if I do listen to some other music it is usally rock from the 70's and 80's :).
- At August 08, 2006, Robin said...
looooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggg day, head still throbbin' after "takin' two"...but wanted to thank you for the words of encouragement. I wrote a note to y'all this morning, and lost it (*&%%^) when I was looking to see if Amanda was Pamela's and Karmyn's "Amanda" and I think that's when the headache began (tiny lol there). Anyway, check back here tomorrow 'cuz I had a point of clarity to make. Right now, I think I'd just sound whacked.
- At August 08, 2006, Julie Carobini said...
The driving comment hit home especially. My son's nearing driving age and I probably will be telling him often to "do as I say and not as I do." Ugh. Not that I'm a bad driver, just a crabby one -- :-0
- At August 13, 2006, Rebecca said...
Cider vinegar is yummy.
- At August 13, 2006, Anna Venger said...
This was a terrific post. I used to be a lot more arrogant also. A few humbling experiences will knock that right out of a person, huh?
It's good for children to know that we are all just fellow travelers on this path and that we are not perfected yet, either.
- At August 13, 2006, Reverberate58 said...
Wonderful post. So much that we listen and hear is harmful to our kids and also to us! Sometimes saying Because I'm The Adult, just doesn't count! Wonderful post on lessons learned or being learned! I hope you and yours have a blessed Sunday!
- At August 13, 2006, Janice (5 Minutes for Mom) said...
good for you for following your convictions. it definitely can be difficult at times!
- At August 13, 2006, Mary said...
I loved your post, and it is hard to give up something that you love , I agree. It only makes it slightly easier when you realize it's for the good of the ankle biters.
Vinegar... hmmmm. My hub and I are potty mouths at times, we had a dollar jar. But soon we realized that since I stayed at home with the kids, the penalty didn't really sting for me. So it was like he was being penalized whether he cursed or not, LOL!
Anyway, kudos for being strong, and being strong in the Lord.
- At August 14, 2006, Karmyn R said...
Okay, I had to add one more comment about cussing....
My grandmother always used words like, "Fudge", "son of a gun", "goodness sakes alive" etc...because she figured she wasn't actually cussing that way.
I use these words too - HOWEVER, arn't we still cussing in our heart? Even though we use a different word for it, inside its the same. Saying "OH Fudge" may lessen the sound of the cuss, but it is still a cuss.
- At September 03, 2006, said...
damn...if profanity is gonna get ppl band from your listening...go back to CCM.
- At September 05, 2006, said...
agape...trying to reconcile your anon post name and your comment. what were you smoking? cloves?

Recently users have reported issues with downloading BSE indices. This started a few days back when BSE updated their website design.
I will need to update Getbhavcopy to work with the new website design, but my current office work is keeping me extremely busy. I will try to work on this next weekend or earlier if possible. Till then request all Getbhavcopy users to be patient and bear with me.

First and foremost, apologies for not responding this long. I am really busy with my office work and i am not getting any time to work on Getbhavcopy. Moreover there are few things on the personal front that are occupying my other time.
I understand the plight of all the Getbhavcopy users but I hope you will understand my current situation.
I will try to look into this over the weekend if possible, but please do not take this as a commitment.

We are looking towards the new season at the de Winton Paper co.
We have already booked ourselves up for wedding fairs and events way into 2016. One I am particularly excited about is the Goldbrick House Wedding Open Day on Sunday 6th September.
Goldbrick House on Park Street is gorgeous anyway, but it is a real treat as an exhibitor to be able to set up a stand in an intimate, characterful venue and enjoy the day with all the other exhibitors.
Other exhibitors include The Little Wedding Helper and Ivory Flowers.
Gone are the days of the only wedding fair choice being big sprawling conference halls with rows and rows of intimidating, faceless suppliers. Don't get me wrong, those still exist, but you also have the brilliant boutique wedding fair. Some of my favourites include the Chosen Wedding Fairs and the Most Curious Wedding Fairs.
Wedding Fairs have woken up to the need to inspire the couples who care about looking and feeling good on their wedding day; the creative couple, after a brilliant team of like minded individuals to help them achieve their wedding day dream.
I expect the Goldbrick House Wedding open day to be one of those very fairs. I will be doing consultations at Goldbrick that day, so if you are considering choosing beautiful hand painted wedding stationery but want to come down and view it in person, send me an email on the contact page and we can schedule a time for you to pop in. You never know, you might get all your wedding suppliers sorted under one roof!

Sales are up again at Ural this year; the company is claiming a 25 per cent sales growth in the U.S. so far, over last year's sales at the six-month mark.
The Russia-based sidecar rig builders are also saying sales are up in their home country, in Europe, in Australia, in Japan, and here in Canada, although we haven't seen the exact numbers. Supposedly their factory is increasing production to meet the growing demand, though.
Along with increased production also comes new dealerships; Ural also announced several new North American dealerships, including Ames Motorsports in Edmonton and Ural Toronto in Markham.
Want to know more about Ural's recent successes? Check out their re-designed website here.

Title: Wick
Series: The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter (Book #2)
Authors: Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: TBA
Models: Nana Malone & Chuan Williams
Photographer: Wander Aguiar / Wander Book Club
Cover Designer: Crystal Daniels
Goodreads: https://bit.ly/2krVU7Y
Malik Dawson – better known to his brothers as Wick; The Vice President of The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter. He lives for his club. The unity and loyalty of the brotherhood give him a sense of purpose and belonging he felt he was missing after years of serving his country.
But all men have their demons, and Wick carries the pain and guilt of losing his childhood friend; the friend he feels he did not protect as they fought side by side in combat. Before he died, Damien made him promise to always be there for his little sister, Vayda; look after her and protect her if something were to ever happen to him.
Following through on a vow made years ago, Wick watches over his fallen comrade's sister.
Then one night, he kisses her, and he no longer sees her as his friend's kid sister. She becomes so much more.
It should never have happened. That's what he keeps telling himself.
Wick becomes torn between what he wants and the promise he made to his friend years ago. Distancing himself, Wick avoids the overwhelming need to claim her and make Vayda his.
When a rescue mission is compromised, and Vayda's life is on the line, Wick holds nothing back. He sets out on a mission of his own to find her—killing anyone who gets in the way.
Vayda Wilder—aka—Tequila, comes from a long line of military service members: Grandfather, Father, and big brother, Damien. All her life she dreamed of becoming a United States Air Force pilot.
Devastated after her brother's death, Vayda found herself lost. Damien was her hero and her best friend. The one person who understood her. Determined to make him proud, Vayda enlists straight out of high school, becoming the best soldier and pilot she could be. With years of experience, she starts taking on secret covert missions and saving countless lives from the evil grips of human traffickers. Soon her assignments begin crossing paths with her brother's best friend, Malik.
One unforgettable kiss changes everything—yet it doesn't.
Malik becomes distant—treating her like she no longer exists.
Burying herself deep in mercenary work helps take her mind off the man she wants until she finds herself captured by the Cartel.
Fighting for his woman, Malik, and The Kings of Retribution become Vayda's only hope of making it out alive.
