Early this year I was watching Channel 14 and they had a black and white puppy on there. The puppy was a black and white Boston Terrier / Jack Russell mix named Paris. I watched her as she sat on the table and immediately knew that i wanted her. I immediately called my husband and told him about her. He told me absolutely that i could not have her. Later that afternoon my husband sent me a text message to call him immediately. So i did. He then proceeded to tell me that i get to...view more pick her up that following tuesday. I was so excited. I immediately went by the Humane Society. The ladies were all very nice! I actually got to go by any time i wanted and visited with her. I even got to bring my granddaughters to meet her. The day i came to pick her up after her spay surgery was an event to remember. She acted like she remembered me. The girls at the Humane Society actually acted like they were going to miss her. She was clean and very well taken care of. They explained everything to me in detail. They explained all the paperwork to me also. I took her home to meet her little Jack Russell Sister "Candy". They hit it off right off the bat. You can't keep them apart. We renamed her "Katey Bug". She is an asset to our family. We love her as much as she love us back. What a great organization!!! Thanks for Everything!view less

Upcoming seminars
Title: An Introduction to Survey Scale Development and Cognitive InterviewingPresenters: Tor Neilands, PhD;
Kim Koester, MA;
Troy Wood, MA
Date&time: Tuesday May 3, 2016; 2 – 4Location: Mission Hall, Room 3700 550 16th Street (at 4th street), 3rd floor San Francisco, CA 94158
Abstract: Despite the increasing availability of novel biomarkers in HIV prevention research, survey questions remain a crucial component of the HIV prevention research enterprise. Writing any survey question is easy, but writing excellent survey questions can be surprisingly challenging. In this two-part, two-hour presentation, Tor Neilands, Kim Koester, and Troy Wood will cover several steps in survey scale development, which, if followed, can improve a researcher's chances of emerging with a valid, reliable, and useful scale at the end of the scale development process. In the first hour, Tor Neilands will present an overview of the various steps frequently used in survey development projects, including defining what is to be measured, the use of focus group and qualitative interview data coupled with literature sources to form a backbone for item development, principles of sound item construction, and procedures for evaluating the validity and reliability of newly-developed survey items. In the second hour, Kim Koester and Troy Wood will describe one of the most critical steps in the survey development process, cognitive interviewing, as applied to a recently-developed novel measurement instrument designed to measure engagement in HIV care.
Dr. Tor Neilands obtained his PhD in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin where he completed a minor in quantitative methods and psychometrics. Dr. Neilands has been involved in developing new scales since the 1990s and has participated in over a dozen manuscripts as the lead scale development expert since coming to the UCSF Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) in 2001. His areas of interest include statistical analysis of social and behavioral science data, including the use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods to assess the construct validity and internal reliability of survey instruments. Dr. Neilands has directed the Methods Core at CAPS since 2003.
Kimberly A Koester is trained as a cultural anthropologist and serves as the Director of Qualitative Research in the AIDS Policy Research Center at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies, University California, San Francisco. Over the last 10 years, a significant portion of her research has been conducted in the context of HIV care settings examining the delivery of health services to people living with HIV. She is particularly interested in and has extensive experience working with gay and bi-sexual men. As of 2012 she has focused her studies on the social and sexual consequences of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis.
Troy Wood currently works as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the Index Project, a mixed-methods study to develop and validate a multidimensional index of engagement in HIV care through an iterative process of obtaining input from patients, providers, and research experts. Previously, Troy worked on the Duo Project, a longitudinal gay male couples study investigating how relationship dynamics either help or hinder HIV treatment adherence. During his time at CAPS, Troy has been responsible for recruiting, screening and enrolling participants, conducting in-depth quantitative and qualitative interviews, completing cognitive interviews and performing blood specimens as a certified phlebotomist.
Prior to coming to CAPS in 2009, Troy volunteered for several years as a certified HIV counselor with the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and AIDS Healthcare Foundation. This experience strengthened his commitment to doing community-based work to address the health disparities and improve the well-being of sexual minorities.
Troy received his MA in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley in 2015. Before moving to San Francisco in 2005, he received his BA in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Love of My Life Lyrics
Artist: Donovan Leitch
Album: 7-Tease
What was I to do? Down day.
Nothing I could do - no way
For the sun don't shine in my life since you took your love away.
I can't go on...
Without your heart
within my own, Misty Maiden
I am filled with love for you
Let me feel the love from you
Bring the sun back to my life
Lay your golden kiss on me
Should you depart
Twould break my heart
How can I part from the only girl that I have ever loved?
You're the love of my life
Star of my dreams and my joy
You are my sister, mother and child
You are everything to this boy.
Do not leave me... my love.
Now you are my lynn (indecipherable)
Want me once again
How we both have hurt each other
With those lonely years apart
But love was kind
Had us in mind
At the right time we meet once again
You're the love of my life
Star of my dreams
and my joy
You are my sister, mother and child
You are everything to this boy
(repeat chorus)

This item has been shown times.
Viking Ship Sun Stone Alderney Navigation Crystal Icelandic Spar Pack With Pouch:
THE ALDERNEY NAVIGATION CRYSTAL(THE VIKING SUNSTONE)Otherwise known as Optical Calcite or
Icelandic Spar.
The name is given to a crystal found on the Alderney Wreck which is believed to have sank off the coast of Alderney in November 1592 just four years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I.The wreck remained lost for 500 years until an Alderney fisherman located it in his nets while fishing.Viking legend tells of a sunstone that, when held up to the sky, revealed the position of the sun, even on overcast days or below the horizon.
Studies have been undertaken and it is now revealed that Icelandic Spar has magical optical qualities capable of double polarisation of light shining through it even when the sun is obscured by fog or cloud. Thus, allowing points of the compass and degrees to be calculated quite accurately.This unique pack contains crystal, information leaflet and
black drawstring pouch.
Only available from Easycrystals
Fast despatch guaranteed

Anyone beat the micro virus one yet? help
Does anyone have any helpful tips on how to beat this one? i can get to 99% of the population dead but they get the cure before i kill em all or all the hosts die and i cant infect anyone else.
Answer from: Ginge
Just completed it!! I got just about every infection symptom going but nothing lethal and step one of every transmission. Slowly increasing the drug resistance abilities and the special code abilities. This one was definitely a level where keeping it all balanced until you got everyone infected was the key. As soon as they are all infected turn on the lethal stuff and ramp up the drug resistance to max. Hope this helps.

Ex Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop shift leader Conor Hagan, has designed these creative packaging ideas for a fruit beverage he has called 'Peared'.
Hagan, a student designer of Syracuse University, has created these four large juice bottles that, in my eye, resemble chefs in aprons, each label having a mosaic created from the shape of the fruit in the juice inside. I also love his ironic "200% Juice" statement.
Hagan has also designed a cool 'clip-strip' of smaller juice bottles that could be displayed right at the cash register; perfect for impulse purchases.
Good thing he's moved on from the ice cream shop, the guy's inventive!

- The FDA approves an amendment to the stopping rule criteria for Sunshine Heart's (SSH +13.6%) Phase 3 COUNTER HF study that changes "all cause" deaths to deaths specifically related to the device, procedure or therapy. The change reduces the risk that the trial is paused again due to mortality events.
- The final data collection date for COUNTER HF, with an estimated enrollment of 388 subjects, is sometime in 2017.

- The FDA gives thinly-traded nano cap Sunshine Heart (NASDAQ:SSH) the go ahead to conduct an interim analysis of its Phase 3 COUNTER HF study of its C-Pulse Heart Assist System for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure. The analysis will determine the device's effectiveness in improving heart function and its impact on reducing re-hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure.
- If the interim analysis meets a higher statistical threshold, the overall duration of the trial may be reduced. The current study design is expected to randomize 388 patients in up to 40 clinical sites (the company's website lists 17).
- The C-Pulse device assists the heart's pumping action via a cuff that is wrapped around the ascending aorta that inflates/deflates in rhythm with the heartbeat, creating a "second heartbeat." Its action is monitored with a pacemaker-type wire. It is implanted without any incisions on the heart itself or to any major vessels. It can used in combination with other heart failure interventions such as a cardiac resynchronization device (CRT) or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
- C-Pulse received CE Mark clearance in Europe in July 2012.
- Shares are up 29% premarket on higher-than-normal volume.

- Sunshine Heart (SSH) moves 2.7% higher in premarket trading.
- Investors are likely reacting to the NEJM and JHLT manuscripts which warn of device exchanges linked to thrombus occurring with HeartMate II (THOR) devices.
- SSH's C-Pulse system treats clinical symptoms associated with Class III and ambulatory Class IV heart failure.
- THOR is now -10% premarket
- For more on the journal manuscripts, THOR, and HTWR, see here and here
Oct. 29, 2013, 3:36 PM
- Sunshine Heart (SSH +5.9%) rallies on double its average 10-day volume.
- The move looks to have been sparked by a PR from earlier today in which the company announced the presentation of initial patient data from an ongoing trial of the C-Pulse System.
- The study's primary endpoint is evaluation of the rate of re-hospitalization due to worsening heart failure and heart failure related death.
- Here, in essence, is what was said: "Surgical implantation without cardiopulmonary bypass was successful [and] there have been no re-hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure or heart failure related death, which is the primary endpoint." (PR)
- Here's SA contributor PropThink: "First read, update net positive ... really can't read into this that much."
Sep. 19, 2013, 11:32 AM
- Sunshine Heart (SSH -3.7%) slips after pricing a 3.8M share offering at $10.50, some 8% below Wednesday's close. (PR)
Aug. 23, 2013, 12:56 PM
- Sunshine Heart (SSH +9.8%) moves sharply higher on the day.
- The shares are up 55% since August 1.
- In an article published Thursday, SA contributor Blair O'Neill calls the company a "sleeping giant" and says the stock should hit $20 by year's end.

Nice review!
I like the blog, and I'll have to check out that movie.
I've seen a movie like what you've described, which feels like a Hammer film but it's really not.
Anyway, I'm adding this blog to my blog list.
Thanks! The movie is availabe really cheaply, but there are some awful quality ones around (like the one I watched). So if you're getting it from Amazon it'll be worth your while reading the comments to make sure the quality's ok.ReplyDelete

Chuck is home!!
Yeah! Chuck is home from Afghanistan!!!
Yeah! Chuck is home from Afghanistan!!!
I am in the middle of making these amazing chocolate cookies. Try them!! I haven't even gotten to the icing part yet and I am addicted. Yum!
Okay. First of all, rib-eye and garlic butter – need I say more. Outrageously delicious. The Buttery Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes were okay. Probably would have enjoyed them more if we were not already addicted to Pioneer Woman's mashed potato recipe which has cream cheese in them. THOSE are to die for!! Last, the Coconut Cream Pie was disappointing. The cream part was not nearly as smooth and decadent as making it the old-fashioned way (from the red and white checked cookbook) where you cook the custard on the stove top and then stir in the coconut. I also prefer meringue to the whipped cream. However, I did like the addition of the rum! I will try that in my old recipe and see how that works out!!.
These are four, relatively new, Barred Rocks that have been recently moved to the big coop. Unfortunately, it is taking them a while to figure out how and when to go in at night. Here is Erin carrying all four at once to the coop!
Okay. Again yum! Very tasty. Really pretty. A bit too spicy for the kids – next time would cut the amount of cayenne in half for them. Easy and good. A keeper. .
This is Buddy.
A 280 pound Hampshire. He lived here for about 4 days and is now on his way to coming back to my freezer!
We miss him but will enjoy him. I think our next 4H project will be pigs….
Per Kathryn's art teacher regarding the 2012 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards:
"Please help me in congratulating the following … photography students for their success at The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers in the SOUTH Region competition (see attached).
Kathryn Klokker 12 – Klokker 2 and Klokker – Silver Key and Honorable Mention
This is an outstanding performance from our school's photography students as the competition, which included hundreds of thousands of artworks, was fierce among young artists representing more than fifteen southern states (AL, AR, DC, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WV)."
These are the images Kathryn submitted:
These are Mrs. Bigglesworth's new babies. They are about a week old.
Yum. That's all there is to say. Paula's Lemony Chess Pie is tangy and sweet – nice and light. I used her pie crust recipe again. It is a little bit delicate when rolling out but worth the effort. Again, if I see a link, I will add it..
This morning's offering for my new cooking project was "Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits". Wow! Super-easy, quick, melt-in-your-mouth. This will be a definite repeat!! If I can find the recipe published, I will add the link..
One of the things I received for Christmas was "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible" cookbook. I was paging through it looking at recipes and did not see even one that didn't look yummy. So, I am now on a quest to make every recipe in the book. (Kind of like "Julie and Julia" but not nearly as disciplined!)
Last night I made "Paula's Chicken and Dumplin's". It was a really good and easy recipe. HOWEVER, the consensus in my house that my old standby chicken and dumplings were better!
I also made "Down-Home Grits Pie" just because I have never had a pie with grits in it and was intrigued by the concept. It was excellent!!! Here is a link to the recipe on Food Network. The only thing I did differently was use homemade pie crust (of course) trying Paula's in the cookbook – which was very tasty and flaky but a little delicate.
First two down, about 300 to go!!!.
Kathryn took this picture of Elisa writing her name with a sparkler on New Year's Eve. No, I do not know how she did it but it is cool!
Wow!! Just picked up our turkeys from being processed. So, there are now seven jumbo (a couple are EXTRA-jumbo) guys in the freezer. YUM!! We have some serious poultry – all home grown. 🙂.

Lessons learned while deleting 274 blog posts
Mar 14th
I'm in the process of creating a new website (soon to be revealed with the help of Joel Hughes and his Glass Mountains Digital Agency) and decided it was time to clean house.
After more than seven years of blogging I had a lot of clutter. Irrelevant posts. Broken links. Out-dated information. Silly stuff. So I started at the beginning of the {grow} timeline and began deleting blog posts. Hundreds of them.
When the dust had cleared, I had trashed 274 blog posts.
In most cases, I had not seen these old posts for six or seven years. Re-living those early days of my social media journey — and the re-invention of a career — was an emotional and illuminating experience. Here are a few observations and lessons I learned.
The firsts
It was fun to go back and figure out who left the first of 65,000 comments on this blog. Somebody named Houston. Have no idea who that is. Michele Linn was the first guest blogger. There was a group of us who guest blogged for each other at the beginning to help our communities get started.
Since those early days I have had more than 65,000 comments on the blog. I have deleted nine for being over the top. Nine. This is an exceptional audience and I never, ever take you for granted. Thank you!
It's funny that nearly all of the "top bloggers" I wrote about seven years ago have moved on to other things. Some have moved off the grid completely. I wonder what will happen to me in the next five years? I'm still having fun.
How I've changed
I was struck by what has changed on the blog and what hasn't. The early blog posts were not as bad as I expected them to be. Between 2009 and mid-2011 I could see a definite shift toward a more confident and authoritative voice. So it took me two and a half years to firmly find my footing. That's about the same time frame I hear from a lot of other bloggers, so the lesson is, be persistent!
Even from the beginning, many of my themes have been consistent — a practical, rational, measurable, and human approach to marketing. But at that 2.5 year mark, the quality and depth of my writing spiked up dramatically.
Here's what has changed the most. Expressing my sense of humor. In the early years I wrote absolutely wacky blog posts like
- How to be a Google Whore
- This is what happens when Barbie joined Twitter
- If the Beatles ran Facebook
… and I don't do any of that crazy stuff any more.
I think one reason might be that I have more of the world watching now. I'm more self-conscience when thousands of people from all over the world are looking for something thought-provoking every day. I can never, ever break that promise. If you spend time on this blog, it will be INTERESTING! I'm not sure how "wacky" fits into the plan any more.
Another reason is that there is so much to write about. I have a backlog of hundreds of marketing ideas. Maybe there is not so much room these days for funny.
But there is probably a deeper reason. Years ago, when I had just 20 readers, I had nothing to lose. I wrote with reckless abandon. I do miss that and it's something to think about.
Engagement is dramatically down
There has been a significant shift in the engagement level here. Back in 2011-2013 it would not be unusual to get 60-80 comments on a single post. Today I probably average 10-20 comments. This is a phenomenon being witnessed all over the web right now.
Some of the engagement is moving to other places like Facebook and LinkedIn, some of the decline is because people are busy (people had more time to comment if they were looking for work in the recession) and part of it is the fact that most of you read this on a mobile device and it is damn hard leaving a comment on a smartphone.
Smartphones have really worked against bloggers.
Rapid adoption versus today
I was amazed to see that within the first three months some of my blog posts were making "best of" lists. Three months! I'm not sure it would be that easy to get that kind of attention today.
There used to be this "blog power ranking" created by AdAge magazine. Oh my how bloggers swooned over that thing. Within a year I had made the top 25 in the world and by year two I was usually ranked in the Top 10. So looking back, I'm surprised I was able to make so much progress that rapidly and I'm not sure I could achieve that today from a standing start. It's a much more competitive world.
The tipping point
In Joe Pulizzi's fine book Content Inc., he talks about a "tipping point" that finally sends your blog over the top. I have been thinking a lot about this point. What made my blog finally "tip?"
From the beginning, my blog audience grew steadily but after about 2.5 years it really shot up to a new level.
For me, I believe the change came because I was tuned in to audience feedback. As I plowed through hundreds of posts I wrote through the years, I could see my "voice" solidify, and my topics became more focused. I attribute this to the tremendous feedback I received through reader comments. Each week you gently nudged me into becoming the writer I am today.
There was another subtle strategy that helped me break through. I made a decision at the beginning of my blogging career to write for readers and NOT write for SEO. This was a risky decision because it was squarely against the conventional wisdom of that time, and maybe even today.
By definition, if you constantly optimize for "popular" words, you're not distinct. To stand out you have to be original, and you're not going to be original if you write the same keyword-laden posts as everybody else. SEO works against viral.
One reader recently told me that she starts every day with a cup of coffee and my blog. I have become part of the fabric of her life. You're not going to build that kind of emotional connection with an audience by tweaking keywords every day. I write for you, period.
Where is everybody?
It's amazing how blog readers seem to come and go in waves. Sure, I have a few people who have read the blog for many years but it made me sad to see how many regulars (who became friends) have gone silent.
Time passes so quickly. It was stunning to see how many people I've lost track of. Are you out there?
So those are a few things that went through my mind during the blog post purge. If you're reading this … well, it just makes me appreciate you even more. I feed off of your support and comments and I thank you. Thank you so much for being here. It will be fascinating to see how {grow} continues to unfold.
Five simple ideas to cut your blogging time in half
Jan 25th
I stumbled around and fumbled around for a long time when I started this blog. For the first nine months I was inconsistent and confused. Then I realized how many great business benefits I was realizing through the blog and decided I better get serious about it!
I became more dedicated and disciplined, which really paid off because the only way you're going to get good at this is to practice!
Without question, my biggest obstacle to consistent blogging was time. It still takes time of course, but today I can deliver a lot more content for a lot less time than I did a few years ago. Here are some ideas you can use to become dramatically more efficient with your content creation. In fact, you can cut your blogging time in half!
1. Never face a blank screen
Here's the number one thing you need to do to cut your writing time: Never, ever face a blank screen. Let's unpack this idea.
Your biggest time-waster is going to be deciding what to write about or maybe wasting time writing something that is not too good and then scrapping it. You have to eliminate that waste, and it's easy to do.
You need to be disciplined in two areas.
First, you need to be constantly collecting ideas. Think in terms of story ideas as you live your life. Is there a headline, an article, a question, a news story, a joke that can be twisted in a way that would make an interesting and entertaining blog post?
Be on the lookout for these ideas everywhere and then WRITE THEM DOWN.
Second, commit to blocking out two solid, continuous hours to write every week. No interruptions, no email, no text messages.
If you can stick to this regimen, you will be amazed at how your productivity will improve because you'll never be looking at a screen with zero ideas again.
Time saved: 50 percent or more
2. Try video blogs
I can make a better quality video on my smartphone today than I could on an HD video camera five years ago. Making a simple three-minute video can be done in a fraction of the time it takes to write and edit the same material for a written blog post.
Once you create your video, upload it to YouTube and follow these steps to post it on a blog post:
- Find your YouTube video.
- Click the 'Share' button below the video.
- Click the 'Embed' button next to the link they show you.
- Copy the iframe code given and paste it into the html of your web page.
So simple and voila! You have a great blog post.

3. Get a little help from your friends
Here is an amazing way to efficiently create great content with fresh ideas.
Let's say there's a question on your mind that would make a great post but you don't know how to answer the question. Why not pose the question to your social media friends and get some help?
Here's an example. It occurred to me that there are certain websites out there with content so amazing they really don't have to worry about SEO. They simply attract views from their greatness. This might be easy if you're a big brand, but what about if you're a small company or even an individual?
Where would I start to find examples of this? I asked my friends on Facebook.
Within one hour I had lots of amazing examples … a chef in France, a hand-made tool company in Latvia, a site with nothing but data visualizations. I looked through these sites and created one of my all-time favorite posts: 10 Soul-grabbing brands that prove you don't need SEO to succeed.
Since my friends essentially did the research for me, this saved me hours of hunting online and they were happy to be acknowledged in my post!
Time saved: 25 percent or more
4. Ask a question instead of providing an answer
I'll bet this has gone through your head more than once: "But what do I write about … what value can I possibly add to the conversation?"
Sometimes the best blog post doesn't have the best answer, it has the best question.
It takes a lot of time for research to write a post that provides a conclusive answer to an issue. But some of the most interesting things happen when you simply ask the right question.
I often end a blog post with "What do you think" because I honestly don't know!
Here's a little secret. Probably the most popular post I ever published, Content Shock, was a question, not an answer. I observed that it was getting much more difficult to win at the content marketing game because of the explosion of information density on the web. I suggested that content marketing was not going to be sustainable for some businesses. What do we do about it? I did not offer a solution but It spurred 1,400 comments!
Of course I eventually answered that question in a book, The Content Code: Six essential strategies to ignite your content, your marketing, and your business … but that's a story for another day.
Time saved: 25 percent
5. Copy and improve
All of us consumer so much great content. Part of the value you can provide to readers is exposing them to new ideas from others and then improving on it.
For example, I was recently reading about the "flow state" of peak performance and wrote down an idea about how this could be applied to content creation (see, I follow my own advice!).
I then "copied" key ideas from a book on the subject (with attribution and a link to the author) but then added my own interpretation along with comments from friends who had experienced flow (I posed the question on Facebook and used their answers in the post).
This turned out to be a great piece. It was an original idea, but I leveraged the great thinking of others for the core idea.
Here's an example of how you can do this. Are there some time-saving ideas I missed in this article? Write your own post and start by summarizing my points. Add your own spin to the foundation I built. Piece of cake, as they say here in America!
Time saved: 50 percent
Well there you have it. What other ideas do you have to save time on your blog? Leave a comment below … or better yet, write your own great new blog post about it!

How to achieve flow when you create content
Jan 11th
Have you ever achieved "flow?"
When I was writing my book The Content Code, it happened to me. It was something weird and wonderful:
- The fact that I was covering an entirely new subject presented a significant intellectual challenge. I knew this book could be my best work. After months of reading and research, the path for the book suddenly became as clear to me as a lighted runway.
- As I spent hour after hour of uninterrupted writing, the chapters seemingly wrote themselves as a cohesive stream came forth.
- I was immersed in the process and would write for hours at a time, often forgetting to eat. Once I wrote for 18 hours in a single day.
This intense, almost euphoric feeling is called flow state, or an optimal performance experience, an idea coined by researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and discussed in his bestselling book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. Back in the 1970s, he performed one of the largest psychological studies ever — asking people from all over the world about the times in their life when they performed their best.
"Flow" is a documented psychological state to describe a period of unusual, peak performance. In flow state, nothing else seems to matter. We forget about our problems, burdens, and self-consciousness and focus entirely on the task at hand.
While most often used to describe athletes, it can apply to any field of endeavor and is literally available to anybody if the conditions are right. In a 10-year McKinsey study, top business executives reported being five times as productive in a flow state.
Billy Mitchell, who runs MLT Creative, told me that flow comes to him in his creative process: The pleasure of good ideas coming together and being captured is a tangible reminder of why I got into a business requiring creativity. None of this means that the work is not going to be subject to further scrutiny and possible rejection. That comes with the territory. I'll admit to the rush sometimes being almost a manic state. This sense of euphoria isn't part of every project but when it is, it is a wonderful thing."
The state of flow
Csikszentmihalyi wrote in his book that certain conditions need to show up to produce flow. The state exists on a spectrum, like any emotion. Whatever creative activity you choose, it must provide an achievable challenge. The activity must:
- Have clear goals and rules
- Provide consistent feedback
- Require intense concentration
- Be within your skill set
- Present a surmountable challenge
By structuring your environment in this way, you can make it easier to achieve flow state and control your quality of experience.
Translating this to the content process
The typical content-creating process is not ideal for flow, is it? Let's see if this sounds familiar.
- You don't really have a goal in mind because you're not even sure what impact your content is having.
- You create content when you can. You're busy. Immersing yourself in anything is out of the question.
- Cranking out another video or podcast seem routine. There is not much of a challenge any more.
Csikszentmihalyi said that achieving flow "is not a battle against the self. It is really a battle for the self; it is a struggle for establishing control over attention."
As I look back at the times in my life when I had creative flow, I can see that my life and my goals lined up in a way where my attention could be totally focused the goal. That's hard to do in our busy world, isn't it?
Let's see if we can translate this in the ideal conditions for content creation flow.
1. You have to be relaxed
In these flow times my mind was not distracted with daily worries. My best writing comes over vacation periods where work is set aside and I can truly concentrate. Flow won't come if you're stressed.
Gretchen Knode told me flow comes through "Enjoying the process of creation. Creating to create it is a joy and every time I do it for the joy of it. I'm in the flow and hours can go by without me noticing."
Reader Nick Harrison adds: "For me a lot of time it's scotch or whiskey, headphones and darkness. No email or phone. It makes me use a different part of my brain if that makes sense."
2. You must be focused
Many of our greatest writers had to leave their environment to achieve flow. They escaped to the mountains, the ocean, or a forest cabin. That's not practical for most people, especially if you have a family. For me, I simply found a silent place and closed the door.
Reader Susan Baier uses an app to help her get focused: "I use Brain.fm and it really helps me stay focused and get a lot done. I tried it when a friend recommended it, and didn't expect too much but I have noticed a dramatic difference when I'm needing to power through something that requires intense concentration."
My friend Chel Wolverton says she has to be emotionally connected to the project to focus "And sometimes I use music as a drug to put me in that emotional space I want to be in."
3. Passion
When I wrote The Content Code, I was literally obsessed with the topic. I knew most marketing content is being swallowed by Content Shock and I was determined to find the answer. I'm a marketing strategist and I love hard problems. I could not stop thinking about the "post-content strategy."
By comparison, I actually started writing another book just a few weeks ago. I spent three solid days working on it and stopped. There was no flow because there was no passion. I was not possessed by the topic. Well … maybe I got a few good blog posts out of it!
My friend Kathy Klotz-Guest agrees that flow comes from passion: "Flow comes from being lost in the topic. Caring so much about the topic because I picked something not for SEO or clicks, or whatever. But because I gave a shit. Be passionate about something and that makes all the difference."
4. Build in goals and feedback
Reader Ian McIntosh said that the culmination of practice toward a goal helps him achieve peak performance: "I achieved flow in music when I was studying and playing professionally. The best is when you gain that moment of synchronicity with a group that brings the musicians and audience to tears. I remember one performance when the conductor almost couldn't finish the piece.
"I now strive to achieve it in photography, although it's a different sensation… Knowing that I've captured a defining image, then working on it in my editing suite until what I see in reality and my mind's eye are in harmony."
When I was writing my book, I kept a spreadsheet to measure the number of words I was writing each day and the overall goal for the book. In some ways, this was like an athletic event. I had a defined time to finish the book and it was a race to the finish.
Perhaps this is one of the biggest challenges on a day-to-day basis. What stretch goals can we set for the content creation process? What can drive us out of our routine and provide an energizing challenge?
Here are some ideas for achievable content stretch goals:
- Thoroughly covering a topic that has never been covered before.
- Creating a productivity goal like a number of words or blog posts in a certain time frame.
- Setting a goal for a new platform like creating five videos in a month instead of blogging.
- Achieving a new level of recognition by creating a piece of content that earns a new level of social sharing.
- Writing a piece of content that is accepted by a premium publisher like Harvard Business Review, an industry journal, or your favorite blog (I guess that would be {grow} right?)
What do you think? Is there flow in your future? And here's a big question — Can you build this environment into a corporate workplace?

25 High-impact blog posts from 2015
Dec 31st
Each year I do a round-up post that summarizes my best content of the year. If you missed some of my best posts, here's your chance to catch up! I've divided this into my most popular posts (in terms of page views) and then a few more that may not have been the most popular but had an impact nonetheless.
A few surprises here as I counted down the year:
The most popular posts of 2015
1. Content Shock
This is a first for me. The most popular post of 2015 was written in early 2014! That's right — my most-viewed post (by far) was something I wrote two years ago. My observation about the changing economics of content continues to rattle the web, showing up in speeches, books, conferences and more than 1,000 blog post commentaries.
2. The 10 best company blogs in the world
This post had all the hallmarks of a great post. It was helpful, insightful, visual and was presented by an attention-grabbing headline.
3. What is the best social media platform for your business?
I'm very proud this made the top of the charts because I loved this post. I think it will help a lot of people who are overwhelmed by all the choices on the web.
4. What will replace Facebook? Six considerations
The basic premise of this article is that there is no immediate threat to Facebook. Don't worry about this!
5. Why it takes so long to achieve social media success
Again, an extremely useful point of view. The web rewards you when you provide unique and helpful advice!
6. Five reasons companies are bringing their marketing in-house
I thought this would stir up a bunch of controversy and defensiveness but it didn't. People generally responded with "yes, you nailed it." This article also appeared in Harvard Business Review.
7. Facebook content strategy is a time bomb for inbound marketing
This is the most important post I wrote in 2015 for the simple reason that I articulated a trend that people are simply ignoring. I'm puzzled as to why this has not caused more conversation. The marketing world seems to have its head in the sand.
8. Beyond Content Shock: The defining trend of 2015 is content ignition
Usually I kick off the year with a bog post that sort of defines the theme for the coming year and that was certainly the case with this post. We are living in a world where great content usually does NOT rise to the top. Great content is starting line, not the finish line. It set the stage for a focus on content transmission and hinted at the theme for my book The Content Code: Six essential strategies to ignite your content, your marketing, and your business. By the way, I think this is the most important trend for 2016 too!
9. 25 Nuggets of essential social media wisdom
This post was something new for me and a bit of a risk. It was simply a list of short ideas I share with young people starting out in the field. I posted this last month and it continues to get a lot of attention. If I had published it earlier in the year it probably would be higher on the list.
10. A solution to the content marketing measurement puzzle
A couple people told me they thought this was the best blog post they had read all year.
Favorites that did not make the list …
(in no particular order!)
Can SEO drive "viral" — I liked this because it introduced a big new ideas about the relationship between content and SEO.
10 soul-grabbing brands that prove you don't need SEO to succeed — I just LOVE LOVE LOVE these stories. The post did not really take off in a big way. I'm surprised by that.
Your social media success may start with gray social media — I think this is a BIG IDEA. Really a key to marketing success in an information dense world!
Sometimes you don't need a community. Sometimes all you need is a hamburger — I get fed up by marketers who claim this is the age where we need to inspire our customers, involve them, immerse them and build community. Sometimes all I want is a hamburger.
Is there a place for social media in a boring business? — Introduced the idea of conversation hierarchy.
The new "liquid model" for content marketing strategy — There's no such thing as an annual plan any more. And yes, it's time to build on "rented land."
What is the purpose of a blog post today? — This is the first of many posts to come exploring the changing nature of content.
How to get off your ass and start blogging — Because people needed to hear this!
A new process to quantify marketing success — We NEED this!
There is no community on social media — Well … of COURSE there is. This post represents one of the very few times I called out a person by name. I chose to do this because the person is in a high position at a respected company and his comments were broadcast widely before I wrote this post. It deserved a rebuttal!
How to differentiate your blog based on the time you put into it –– So many people loved this post. I had to get it in there.
Five ways to calm down and not be overwhelmed by social media change — I need to read this one myself sometimes!
As digital ad options dry up, marketers turn desperate — I hate it when corrupt companies take advantage of people and this is an example of a terrible marketing practice. A lot of people made changes after this article ran.
To drive value from your content, focus on trust not traffic — This is a core value and a theme of my work.
Sponsored content and the economics of trust — Such a HUGE issue today. Deserves more discussion!
Content Shock is here. Now what? — Perhaps it is elegant to end this post where it began — Content Shock. In this post, BuzzSumo reports that overwhelming information density is here and dramatically changing the economics of some of the biggest publishers in the business.
I can't end the year without thanking the amazing contributing columnists to {grow} this year: Amber Osborne, Eric Wittlake, Kerry Gorgone, Kiki Schirr, and Brooke Sellas. Their work made this a more interesting and amazing place. And Mars Dorian stood out for so many reasons this year. His work just gets better and better and he has now written on {grow} longer than any other paid writer — more than three years!
I hope you have enjoyed these high-impact blog posts. Thank you so much for reading my blog and encouraging me with your kind comments in 2015!

When Glenys Richardson arrived in hospital after being mauled by a dog, a staff member told her the wound looked more like a shark had attacked her.
The 67-year-old must wear a large pressure bandage on her thigh for the next two years after the attack by a pair of pitbull-crosses near her home in Otaki in November.
She is still too scared to leave home on foot on her own, and wants to see all pitbulls and pitbull-crosses banned.
Mrs Richardson was at home in Moana St, Otaki Beach, on the afternoon of November 28 when she heard a neighbour screaming for help.
The woman had been attacked by two neighbouring dogs, and Mrs Richardson was also attacked when they came up the driveway on to the street.
"They did not look all that bad, were not barking, but all of a sudden one was gripping my leg and would not let go. You are beyond registering pain, you are just in a nightmare. I could see bits of me on the road."
Another neighbour rushed off and rang emergency services.
"I was in the middle of the road screaming for help with the dog horrendously hanging on. No-one came for a while; it seemed like a long time," Mrs Richardson said.
The dog let go when a ute drove towards it, tooting madly.
"I was very relieved but in a state of absolute shock," she said.
She was taken to Palmerston North Hospital with a major artery exposed in her thigh. She was told that, if it had been punctured, she could have died within three to four minutes.
The neighbour who was attacked first was taken to the same hospital with multiple bite wounds.
Surgeons removed a lot of dead tissue from Mrs Richardson's thigh and she was transferred to Hutt Hospital's plastic surgery unit, where skin was taken from her buttock for a skin graft.
After two weeks in hospital she returned home, and district nurses continued to dress her wound regularly until a week ago. She will wear the pressure bandage for two years and is about to start physiotherapy to help her straighten her leg.
Despite an injured finger, she is very relieved still to be able to play the piano at church: "The aftermath is huge . . . Our lives have been dramatically changed. It was a horrible sight. Even the police were ashen-faced."
She has just started going for walks again, but is too nervous to go unaccompanied.
She believes pitbulls and pitbull-crosses should be banned. "It is like having a lion or tiger in your street. They are wild animals. It could have been a child, or I could have died." she said.
Eight puppies found on the property from which the dogs had escaped had disappeared, she said.
"People are making money from them for breeding or fighting. We are living with wild animals in suburbia. They have to try and ban them."

"Great story, well read"
Wil Wheaton did an amazing job! His reading pace was just right and he did a great job giving different characters different inflections. The story is so full of pop culture and sarcasm that he was the perfect choice to convey both the sarcasm and sincerity in the characters. The story is a lot of fun.
"loved it, story kept me drawn in"
it was amazing, I couldn't stop listening... will did a great job reading it.. definantly buy this
"Great story! But..."
Yes, I listened to Armada. I think he is a great voice actor.
I'll preface the "but" with the fact that this story was a really cool concept. If you are a fan of 80's pop culture or are a gamer then this book is for you.
However, the downside to this book is that it seems quite a bit over-written. It was very long-winded in parts. There were a few times that I'd say to myself "Can we get on with the story!?" I pushed through and am thankful that I did.
The other thing I didn't like was that it seemed Cline wrote quite a few contradictions. (***Spoilers beyond this point) Earlier on in the story Parzival didn't have any means to jump around the Oasis other than by hitching a ride and then since he was a low level avatar could only kill small enemies to try to gain experience points. Later on when he had gained experience points and credits to move around the Oasis he mentions visiting many different areas before, such as the museum, and that he explored it or mastered a game in a certain place or that "of course as a Gunter he had visited this place many times". This is contradictory to much of the beginning of the story which states he spends pretty much all his time on the school planet.
The timeline is very confusing at times as well. The whole hunt until the finding of the egg probably last about 7 months from what I gather. However, during the time after the 1st key was found the word usage and descriptions of time passing make it seem as if years pass. His relationship with Artemis seems to last a long time but once it is cut off its only a few months. The dwindling communication between "Z" & "H" is described as being "ages" between conversations. Within a few pages Cline tells us that conversations were a couple of times a week down to once a week then down to one to two times a month. Ages???
There are plenty of these problems in the story line that are confusing and could have easily been avoided. I can tell that Cline vastly improves in "Armada". I still loved the story and would recommend it.
"Exceptional writing"
Not even a fan of the 80s or video games but this is well worth a read
"I'm not alone! There's others like me!"
I had an Atari 2600 as a kid and one of the games we thoroughly enjoyed was Joust. The scene where the king suggests jousting for the copper key set me into a fit of sincere happiness. Ill admit, it did not register that they'd be playing the actual game until the king says "birds". Just awesome.
I have to say too, Will Wheaton's voice is perfect for this book. It really matches with the idea of what a nerd, geek, computer wiz, gamer would sound like.
"Great listen!"
I debated downloading this title for a while, but I'm glad I finally did. I didn't catch all of the references, but it was a thoroughly entertaining story.
The only thing that prevents me from giving a 5 star to the story is because eventually the narrator's skills and knowledge just got a bit too unbelievable. Still, a great book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that has ever played a video game.
"Can't say enough about this book."
Absolutely. It's the kind of book that makes you depressed it's over. Great character building, stories, and pop culture references.
You don't have to be an 80's geek to get the references either. I cannot wait to see how they turn this into a film.
The characters, the suspense, and the fun.
He really did a great job with the characterizing/performance of the main character. The others weren't the greatest.
The Oasis is waiting.
I wish I could find a similar book that will live up to this one. Loved every minute.
"What a great story! So much fun"
The story createS an amazing world for your imagination and has a great ending.
I couldn't get to it fast enough. Thank God Audible allows you to play books at faster speeds.
"I feel like teenager again!"
If you are in your late 20s or 30s, you will be blasted back to your teenage years. It's a perfect blend of every nerdy culture thing you can imagine. Perfect choice picking Wil Wheaton to read this! LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!!!
"A book forged for a gamer..."
Will was perfectly casted, despite his funny mannerism. The story is a roller coaster of a poor kid fighting the odds in a SAO like world but bound in reality.
To spoil any of the story would be a travesty. Just read this amazing book if you know about 80's culture. Mostly movies and games with music bombs for good measure. Easily the best book I've heard on the site. - R

PR64+ Cameo 1888 Silver Dollar
1888 $1 PR64+ Cameo PCGS. VAM-25. The date is obviously
repunched, and the top of a misplaced 8 lurks in the dentils
beneath the final 8 in the date. All 1888 proofs were struck from
the same obverse die. The obverse is close to brilliant and
displays strong cameo contrast. The reverse has dappled olive-green
toning with hints of chestnut patina near AMERICA. The strike is
good though the obverse center retains hints of the granular
planchet surface.(Registry
values: N2998) (NGC ID# 27ZH, PCGS# 87323)
