After being dumped by a drummer boyfriend who lived rent-free in my apartment for 2 years, regularly spent my waitressing tips on booze and crashed my car, I took a hard look at myself and decided… no more. I told myself from now on I will manipulate men into doing whatever I want, besides I'm tired of taking out the trash and I need someone to do it for me. More to the point, I'm tired of watching all my girlfriends lounge around in their comfortable red sofas while their boyfriends do everything in the house. Cooking, cleaning, ironing… you name it, those guys do it all. My house is a mess and I'm tired of cleaning it myself.
I didn't know the first thing about manipulative sex; I'm only a chick from France who just has sex for, well, orgasms mostly. I needed help. I reached out to my friend Ali whose hands were as soft as a feathers; she hadn't touched a sponge in years. I felt so privileged when Ali agreed to take me as an understudy. Ali was my guru; according to her I shouldn't have sex just for my own satisfaction anymore. I needed to have a goal every time I engaged in intercourse.
One morning, I placed a dirty towel on the floor. After my 'friend' Joshua and I had finished our sexual session, I asked him to pick up the towel.
He said, "No."
And I said, "But you have to."
And then he said, "No, you pick it up. "
I couldn't believe it. I was gonna have to pick up my own dirty towel. I called Ali immediately, she said in her thick Long Island accent, "Ask him to pick up the towel and then you screw him, not the other way around."
This was an important little piece of information I wished she had shared during our first meetings. Then Ali asked, "Did you have sex with him after that?"
Of course I did! Who did she think I was?
"Well, Clara, you can forget about him, he's no good to you now." Ali said. "He'll never do anything for you. He's like a wild animal that tasted human flesh; he'll never go back to eating deer again."
So, I went looking for a new piece of flesh. I set up an online profile on a dating site. In it, I wrote:
I love long walks on the beach, I'm looking for a soul mate who takes the trash out.
As soon as my profile page was up, my phone started ringing. It was Ali, cursing me out. Apparently I wasn't supposed to write out my true intentions.
This was starting to get very complicated. I thought of calling Joshua to have sex in order to clear my head, but I didn't. Like Ali said, "Instant gratification counts for nothing."
I was lost. I begged Ali to meet with me. Ali was very clear, from now on, I had to follow her rules.
Rule number 1: no sex on the first date.
I agreed to it and Ali set me up on a date. The guy was charming and smart and strong.
On our first date he gave me flowers that he, himself, put in a vase.
On our second date, he offered to take out my kitchen trash when he saw how full it was.
The third time he picked me, up he vacuumed while I finished getting ready. Ali had told me that I could have sex with him on the third date, but the living room looked so nice all vacuumed, I was fulfilled; we didn't have sex that night.
On our fourth date, he came to my house early and cleaned my windows, inside and out. This guy was one of a kind. He was funny, caring, he knew how to handle a broom, he knew the fridge was in the kitchen, how to open it and close it, and most importantly, he laughed at everything I said. He was interested in me, in how my day went, in what I served customers during their lunch, what they ate, what they drank. This guy was fantastic. He was the one.
After our fifth date, once he was done folding my laundry, I took him by the hand, walked to my bedroom, closed the door, dimmed the light and for the first time ever we had sex. I never heard from him again.
I called Ali and asked her what had gone wrong. I had followed all her rules. Ali, in her Long Island accent that was getting thicker by the minute, asked me, "Were you good in bed?"
"I don't know. I guess…" I mumbled.
"Well, you probably weren't good in bed, Clara, because if you were good in bed, he'd be scrubbing your bathroom floor right now."
"But…" I tried to say, but she cut me off.
"Let me tell you something… some women, they have sex with men, the men go crazy and do all kinda stuff for these women, right?"
"Yes", I agreed.
"You're not one of these women. If you want men to do things for you, maybe you should consider not having sex with them. It might be where you stand-out the most."
Even though Ali was probably right, I never spoke with her again.

"Recently, various groups within the osteopathic profession discovered that the current sources of osteopathic terminology were inadequate to meet their needs. They determined that, especially in the digital age, an authoritative osteopathic thesaurus was essential to the increasing number of professional activities requiring accurate, consistent descriptive terminology. (...) The Authorized Osteopathic Thesaurus (AOT) is the official thesaurus for osteopathic medicine, defining the meaning and interrelationships of those terms that have a unique meaning in osteopathic medicine.

2 found dead in Mesa mobile home
MESA, Ariz. — Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies are investigating an apparent double murder in Mesa.
The bodies of a man and a woman were discovered at around 7:30 p.m. Monday inside a mobile home near Crismon Road and Apache Trail.
Sheriff's Deputy Joaquin Enriquez said the bodies were found by a neighbor who lives directly in front of the mobile home.
"After they made the discovery, they called the sheriff's office, at which time deputies responded," said Enriquez.
Enriquez said the person told deputies on the phone that the crime scene was bloody and gruesome.
Enriquez said police are still trying to determine the victims' identities and cause of death. He said that police have been at the home before.
Sheriff's deputies do not have any suspects in the case. Anyone with Information is asked to call the Maricopa County Sheriff's office.

In their first meeting of the year, the Republican-dominated Chatham County Commissioners today cut two positions and eliminated the Pittsboro-to-Chapel Hill bus service that began Aug. 17, 2009.
During a tense and packed meeting, at which Chatham County Fire Marshal Thomas Bender turned citizens away due to fire codes, Human Relations Executive Director Esther Coleman and Sustainable Communities Director Cynthia Van Der Wiele lost their jobs.
By a 3-2 vote along party lines, Chatham County Commissioners eliminated the positions. The Obesity Coordinator position was also cut, but it was vacant.
Democrats Sally Kost and Mike Cross voted against cutting the positions. Republican newcomers Brian Bock, Walter Petty and Pamela Stewart voted for the cuts.
Coleman earned $80,000 annually, Van Der Wiele $96,000.
Supporters of the new commissioners reminded Bock, Petty and Stewart that the three had run their campaigns on cutting "government fat," and that their voters expected them to do that today.
The cuts are expected to save the county $2 million over the next four years, according to Chatham County Community Relations Director Debra Henzey.
The meeting agenda didn't specifically say the job cuts would be considered, but they were tucked in Item No. 21, "Cost Containment/Streamlining Discussion."
The newly elected GOP commissioner, Brian Bock, Walter Petty and Pamela Stewart, eliminated positions quickly, which upset many citizens present who hoped the incoming commissioners would not rush their decisions.
"The commissioners can eliminate a position at any time," Henzey said. "No one was fired, the commissioners chose to eliminate offices as part of their budget decisions."
Coleman has been executive director of the Human Relations Commission since 2007. She oversaw the county's diverse communities. Nearly 13 percent of Chatham residents are African-American; 13.3 percent are Latino.
However, pockets of the county have high numbers of minorities. For example, Siler City's population is 50 percent Latino.
"Don't think racism does not still exist in Chatham County," urged Rita Spina, vice-president of Chatham Citizens for Effective Communities. "Please do not go backward in your thinking."
Loyse Hurley, president of CCEC, said, "The human relations director averts and preempts issues by dealing with discrimination, labor violations, hate bias, and hate crimes before they become problems and expensive lawsuits for the county."
As sustainability director, Van Der Wiele coordinated planning, environmental resources, soil erosion and sedimentation control, central permitting, transportation, green building and affordable housing. Her primary charge was to develop and implement a long-term comprehensive community sustainability plan for Chatham County.
Van Der Wiele was hired in 2009.
The commission also voted 4-1 to eliminate the express bus service between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill for 18 months. When the service started in 2009, Chatham County and Pittsboro matched a state grant with an additional $176,000 each year generated by alcoholic beverage taxes.

This invention was made by employees of the United States Government and may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is directed to a position sensor, particularly a rotary position sensor, with or without integrated signal-conditioning electronics.
2. Description of Related Art
Rotary position sensors are instrumental in the control of rotary motion. The sensors are used for position feedback and position information.
Sensor resolution, accuracy, cost, and size are key specifications in choosing a rotary sensor. There are several different types of rotary position sensors in general use. These include, but are not limited to, resolvers, encoders (optical and magnetic), Hall-effect sensors and potentiometers.
Resolvers have several disadvantages. They are bulky, difficult to manufacture, and relatively expensive for precision units, namely, over $500.
The main disadvantage of encoders is that they provide only discrete position information. In other words, encoders output position information only in terms of discrete positions, steps, or pulses per revolution (PPR), and the relative spacing among the positions, steps, or PPR determines the resolution of an encoder. Low-resolution encoders can be relatively inexpensive, namely, approximately $50, but highly accurate and absolute encoders can be very expensive. Some laser encoders offer high accuracy and resolution, but at a cost of several thousand dollars.
Hall-effect devices are relatively inexpensive, but they are not very accurate in a linear mode. Hall devices also are affected by fluctuating magnetic fields and require a fixed air gap.
Potentiometers are relatively inexpensive. However, they are electrically noisy.
Each of these sensors also requires external electronics to signal-condition the raw sensor output. These sensors thus have a disadvantage in that the external electronics are not incorporated inside the sensor housing.
Integrating the electronics would require another manufacturing procedure, increase device cost and make the sensors larger and more bulky. In some cases, such as for Hall-effect sensors, including the signal conditioning electronics would possibly more than double the size of the original sensor. There would also be the problem of interference between the signal-conditioning electronics and other components of the sensor.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,246,228, entitled Non-contact Linear Actuator Position Sensor and Controller Insensitive to Air Gap Between Armature and Magnetic Bracket, whose disclosure is incorporated by reference in its entirety into the present disclosure, teaches a position sensor or controller that generates a response signal in existing armature windings of an actuator and detects the response signal to determine the position of the armature. To generate the response signal, the actuator includes a sensor excitation winding near the armature. Two sensor excitation windings can be provided, above and below the armature, to cancel out z components and thus allow for a variable gap. The sensor excitation winding or windings are supplied with an excitation signal to induce the response signal in the armature windings. The response signal is derived by differentially amplifying and frequency filtering a raw output of the armature windings. The response signal is demodulated to determine position. If a position controller rather than a mere sensor is desired, the position signal can be buffered, PID compensated, amplified, and fed back to the armature windings.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,104,328, filed on Nov. 27, 1998 entitled Resolver to 360E Linear Analog Converter and Method, is also incorporated herein in its entirety.
It is an object of the invention to provide a rotary position sensor that overcomes the above-noted disadvantages.
It is another object of the invention to provide a rotary position sensor that provides internal signal conditioning and outputs a usable rotary position signal.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a rotary position sensor that is electrically similar to a conventional resolver but that is mechanically different and easier to manufacture.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide a rotary position sensor that expands on the concepts presented in the above-cited patents and that provides a rotary position sensor mechanism that is continuous, light-weight, low-cost, and easy to assemble.
To achieve these and other objects, the present invention is directed to a position sensor comprising: (a) a housing; (b) a movable member, disposed at least partially in the housing, for being moved in accordance with the position to be sensed; (c) a first sensor component, disposed in the housing, for emanating an internally or externally generated excitation signal; and (d) a second sensor component disposed in the housing, the second sensor component comprising: (i) raw signal producing means for producing a raw signal induced by the excitation signal in response to a relative displacement between the first sensor component and the second sensor component; and (ii) signal conditioning means for converting the raw signal into a position-indicating signal; the movable member being secured to at least one of the first and second sensor components so that movement of the movable member causes the relative displacement.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will be set forth in detail with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1A-1H show various components of the sensor according to the preferred embodiment;
FIGS. 2A-2C show various views of a sensor board sub-assembly used in the sensor;
FIGS. 3A-3C show various views of a sensor assembly incorporating the sensor board subassembly of FIGS. 2A-2C; and
FIGS. 4A and 4B show two views of a sensor incorporating the sensor assembly of FIGS. 3A-C.
A preferred embodiment will now be set forth. This preferred embodiment is based on a rotary position sensor with the additional inclusion of signal-conditioning electronics. However, the rotary position sensor can be operated as a standalone device without signal conditioning electronics.
First, individual components will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A-1H. Since the rotary position sensor is based on a printed wiring board, incorporation of the signal-conditioning electronics is straightforward.
FIG. 1A shows hub clamp 1, which includes hub clamp portions 3 tightened by Allen screws or other tightening fasteners 5. FIG. 1B shows shaft hub 7, which has hub portion 9 and wing portions 11 with screw holes 13.
FIGS. 1C and 1D show front and back views, respectively, of inductor board 15. In inductor board 15, printed wiring board 17 has screw holes 19 therein and has inductors 21 mounted thereon. Printed wiring board 17 also has shaft hole 23 formed therein. Inductors 21 are wire-wound and are mechanically spaced 90 � apart. Inductors 21 use high-frequency sine and cosine excitation signals that are sent to inductor board 15 through slip rings 24.
FIGS. 1E and 1F show front and rear views, respectively, of sensor winding board 25, which has sensor windings 27 formed on printed wiring board 20. Sensor windings 27 include two sets of sensor windings, x sensor windings 27 x and y sensor windings 27 y, which are orthogonal to each other. Sensor windings 27 are transformer-coupled to inductors 21 such that the excitation signals supplied to inductors 21 induce a signal in sensor windings 27. The induced signal is the same as the induced signal that a conventional resolver would generate; thus, the position sensor is electrically identical to a resolver in that it accepts a standard resolver input and generates a standard resolver output. Conventional resolvers are discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,104,328 and 6,138,131 to Alhorn, et al., both of which will be incorporated herein by reference, infra. Sensor winding board 25 also has brushes 30 for transmitting the excitation signals to slip rings 24. Sensor winding board 25 is rigidly mounted to prevent rotation; thus, sensor winding board 25 and inductor board 15 rotate relative to each other. Of course, inductor board could be rigidly mounted to prevent rotation instead, as long as boards 15 and 25 still underwent relative motion.
FIG. 1G shows mu-metal shield 31.
FIG. 1H shows signal-conditioning electronics board 33, which has printed wiring board 35 with electronics 37 disposed thereon. Electronics 37 can be of any of many types of signal conditioning electronics. If an analog output corresponding to the rotary position is desired, circuits developed by NASA that can be used include a continuous 360E linear arctangent circuit and a resolver to 360E linear analog converter. Such circuits are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,104,328 and 6,138,131, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. If a digital output is desired, a resolver-to-digital circuit can be used. The position sensor can use an externally or internally generated excitation signal. For example, the excitation signal may be provided from an external source such as a function generator in communication with the position sensor; conversely, the excitation signal may be provided by an internal source such as a wave-generating microchip within the system. Electronics 37 can be formed of discrete components, integrated into a single application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or provided in any other suitable manner. The use of an ASIC simplifies the design, manufacturing and assembly of the position sensor.
The assembly of a sensor board sub-assembly will be set forth with reference to FIGS. 2A-2C. As shown in FIG. 2A, sensor winding board 25, mu-metal shield 31 and signal-conditioning electronics board 33 are assembled in that order to form sensor board sub-assembly 39, which is shown in a front view in FIG. 2B and in a rear view in FIG. 2C. Sub-assembly 39 incorporates electronics 37 with sensor wiring 27 by way of mu-metal shield 31, which prevents any magnetic coupling between sensor board 25 and signal-conditioning electronics board 33.
FIGS. 3A-3C show the incorporation of sensor board sub-assembly 39 into a sensor assembly. As shown in FIG. 3A, hub clamp 1, shaft hub 7, inductor board 15, and sensor board sub-assembly 39 (made up of sensor winding board 25, mu-metal shield 31, and signal-conditioning electronics board 33) are assembled in that order. FIGS. 3B and 3C show side and isometric views, respectively, of resulting sensor assembly 41, with shaft 43 added. Shaft hub 7 is secured to inductor board 15 with screws or other appropriate fasteners 40, of which only one is shown for simplicity of illustration, inserted through screw holes 13 and 19. When Allen screws 5 are tightened, hub clamp 1 clamps shaft hub 7 onto shaft 43 so that inductor board 15 does not rotate relative to shaft 43. In other words, when shaft 43 rotates, inductor board 15 rotates rigidly along with it. However, sensor board sub-assembly 39 is free to rotate relative to shaft 43 and thus relative to inductor board 15. Thus, if it is sensor board sub-assembly 39 which is held fixed, a rotation of shaft 43 causes relative rotation between inductor board 15 and sensor board sub-assembly 39.
The assembled sensor is shown in a right isometric cut-away view in FIG. 4A and in a right rear isometric cut-away view in FIG. 4B. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, sensor 45 includes sensor assembly 41 in housing 47, with shaft 43 protruding from housing 47. Sensor board sub-assembly 39 is fixed to the inside of housing 47 so as not to rotate relative to housing 47. Shaft 43 is mounted in housing 47 with ball bearings 49 or any other suitable bearings to allow rotation of shaft 43 relative to housing 47 and thus to allow rotation of inductor board 15 relative to sensor board sub-assembly 39. The various components can be connected to one another, to a power source and to a position signal output in any suitable way.
Integrating the electronics into the unit allows for the possibility of controlled motion performed by the sensor. Such controlled motion is possible, e.g., if the sensor is configured as a motor.
The position sensor disclosed herein can be configured for use as a rate sensor or as a motor. Such a configuration would require additional permanent magnets or electromagnets. The sensor coils would be driven such as to make the inductor board rotate while the wire-wound inductors transmitted position information back to the sensor windings simultaneously. Thus, one set of coils could be used for both actuation and sensing. The sensor could be operated in a housed or unhoused configuration.
By changing the electronics, a single sensor unit can output several different types of waveforms. These waveforms can also be used for both six-step and sinusoidal commutation of brushless motors. Also, the NASA resolver to 360� linear analog converter mentioned above produces a definite zero location, which is useful for position control.
Integrating the electronics into the sensor allows for the possibility of inclusion of the sensor windings on the electronics board. Such inclusion might require another ground plane on the electronics board but would eliminate the separate sensor winding board and mu-metal shield.
This invention has several advantages over the previous techniques used for rotary position sensing. By integration of the electronics into the housing, the position sensor does not require external signal conditioning. A single hardware unit can be configured for various outputs by simply replacing the electronics. The electronics can provide a zero location which is helpful in alignment with other machinery. The manufacturing techniques used to produce the sensor are low in cost when compared to those used for a resolver. The sensor is also physically smaller than a comparable resolver, especially if the sensor winding is included on the electronics board.
Integrating the electronics into the sensor is a notable improvement because the end user has only to apply power to receive rotary position. The electronics can be developed to produce various types of waveforms needed to commutate motors. The manufacturing and assembly of this sensor are simpler than those of the prior art, and the costs associated with producing the units are less when compared to the costs associated with producing resolvers. Integrating the signal conditioning electronics reduces the chance that external electronics would receive degraded or noisy sensor information.
The present invention offers the following advantages over known techniques for rotary position sensing. The sensor according to the present invention provides a continuous signal with infinite resolution. The sensor is insensitive to both axial and radial mounting tolerances and to both permanent and fluctuating magnetic fields. The sensor accuracy depends only on the orthogonality of the x and y axes on the sensor's printed wiring board and on the locations of the inductors. The sensor is made from low-cost components with low-cost manufacturing techniques and is smaller than a resolver of similar capability.
The present invention is particularly advantageous in, but not limited to, the integration of the signal conditioning electronics into the housing of the sensor disclosed in the above-mentioned co-pending application. Inclusion of the electronics into the housing makes for a complete sensor that accepts only power and returns the position of the rotary shaft.
While a preferred embodiment has been set forth, those skilled in the art who have reviewed this disclosure will readily appreciate that other embodiments can be realized within the scope of the invention. In alternative embodiments, other types of inductors or transformer windings could be used, as could windings internal to the printed wiring board. The position sensor can be operated as disclosed above, or with dual inductors and a single sensor winding, or with a single inductor and dual sensor windings. The inductor value and the number of sensor windings can be varied without changing the operation of the sensor. Also, the sensor board can be implemented with wires instead of a printed wiring board. The sensor can include more inductors, equally spaced apart mechanically to generate multi-speed resolver signals and/or windings that are rotated equally to produce multi-phase signals. The excitation frequency can be set to any appropriate value, and the waveform can be sinusoidal, square, triangular, or any other appropriate waveform.
The inductor board can be attached to the rotary shaft in any suitable way, such as pinning, epoxy, or press-fitting. The sensor has been disclosed as unhoused, but it can be packaged as a housed unit with bearings and an outer housing. The shaft can be a through shaft, a hollow shaft, or a single or dual output shaft. The inductor board can be configured as a brushless design, thus eliminating the brushes and slip rings.

those are NOT the correct kind of rubber gloves for high voltage EV work. You need to be using class 00 rubber inner glove with a leather outer glove. Gloves should be checked for holes and punctures EVERY time they are worn. The voltages are deadly and care needs to be taken.

I'm guessing being in a rented building with instructions to not penetrate the roof membrane is the reason you have the lie flat mounts. Any worries about the wind catching these and popping them off the roof?

Big victory for men's badminton in India, Srikanth wins Thailand Open

K Srikanth has become the first Indian man to win a major badminton title outside India after Pullela Gopichand's All England Championship in 2001. The 20-year-old beat top seed Boonsak Ponsana 21-16, 21-12 in 34 minutes to win the Thailand Open Grand Prix on Sunday.
While India No. 1 P Kashyap has also won a Grand Prix title, his achievement last year came at a tournament in Lucknow.
Coach Gopichand attributed Srikanth's win to "that rare belief, which means he is not afraid of walking new ground". "I have seen players falter at the last step, but Srikanth has great mental attitude," he said. Guntur-born Srikanth trains at Gopichand's academy in Hyderabad.
Indian men's badminton has felt this gap acutely, with shuttlers scoring stray victories over marquee players, shocking a top name here and there, but never quite managing to win titles.
Ranked 61, the lanky shuttler confessed to being a little tense going into the final against Thailand's local favourite Ponsana, and deciding to go on the offensive. "I wanted to put pressure on Boonsak. He was the top seed but I knew my offensive game attack all the time would help me against him. Once I took the lead, I never gave him a chance," Srikanth said.
A turning point was the four straight points that he won at 16-15 in the opening game. "That was an important stage and after that I knew I had him," he said.
While Srikanth had scalped Jan O Jorgensen, a Top 10 player, in April this year, this win was different. "Beating Jan O gave me confidence, but beating Boonsak gave me pure happiness," he said. Last year, he had also shown rare poise during a 12-21, 12-21 loss to Chinese legend Lin Dan, and says what he gathered about strokes and accuracy in that match helped him tame Jan O.

Related Suppliers
The company has added two new machining centers to its computerized machine tool systems--the VM1 and the VM2. The VM1 machining center is said to offer job shop versatility. Its XYZ axis travels at 26" (660 mm) × 16" (400 mm) × 20" (500 mm) and is packaged on a 6,000-lb frame that takes up 36 sq. ft. This is coupled with its 15-hp, 8,000-rpm spindle, 700-ipm rapids and 16-station swing arm ATC. The machining center is equipped with the company's UltiMax control. The version for the VM1 is a new control configuration using a 12" color LCD screen and an ergonomic console to create an efficient shopfloor programming environment. All of the features of UltiMax are available on the new Max control either as standard or optional features. Simple conversational data block programming, full four-view graphics, interactive graphical search, advanced contour programming, advanced pocketing routines, direct DXF data conversion and other conversational programming features allow the VM1 operator be in complete control of the programming and process to expedite job turnaround time, the company says. The VM1 also has a range of options to improve its capabilities. Indexers, full fourth-axis tables, chip conveyor and tooling packages are all available. The VM2 is a 9,000-lb machining center built around a solid cast iron frame with state-of-the art controls, says the company. The Max control offers the functionality of the company's PC based conversational and NC programming capabilities in a single LCD screen control. The VM2 is equipped with standard features including 40" × 18?" × 18" travel; 20-hp/8,000-rpm spindle; 97" × 88" footprint; 18" × 46" working table surface; and table load capacity of 1,200 lbs.

steps to overcome adversity training and time management tips like digital tutors
-What's up, guys? Daniel McKenna here, and today, Clay Clark will be sitting down with Tim Rokisky and we're talking about going from poverty to prosperity. If you don't know who Tim Rokisky is, in 1992 Tim quit his job at an office supply store, took out a loan, put a second mortgage on his home, and borrowed $50,000 from his father-in-law's retirement fund to make his dream of becoming his own boss a reality.
In 2008, he was able to sell the business and become a multimillionaire. By the time Tim sold the auto auction he purchased, it had grown from two employees to over 50 employees. Specifically, you'll be learning about overcoming adversity by hearing Tim's story about how he went from poverty to prosperity. This lesson is going to be very valuable to you if you take all the strategies and mindsets that Tim has developed.
Now, remember, here at Thrive 15 we believe that knowledge of without application is meaningless. So if you take today's lesson and apply it to your life and/or business, then today's lesson could be more meaningless than flightless birds. Sorry, penguins.
-Tim, thank you for being here, my friend.
-Thank you, sir.
-Hey, I am excited to talk to you today about a topic of really how to go from poverty to prosperity because you've definitely had an interesting life, we shall say. And before we kind of deep dive into this here, I want to make like a chiropractor for a second and give the Thrivers a little bit about your back story.
At one point, you were picked up on a bench warrant, and now you've become a multimillionaire. For the Thrivers out there who might not know, and for people around the planet who aren't aware of what this term means, what is a bench warrant?
-Well, like I told you earlier, it's something your wife finds out about once she reads this little deal you sent over to me. It's not something that you want. It's basically I've decided to completely ignore a court order. In my case, it was really a minor, stupid thing. When I first moved to Oklahoma, you didn't have to have insurance on your car.
Well, that changed, and I didn't think I needed insurance on my car. And I got stopped on two different occasions, and they said bring your tags up to date and buy your insurance. And I did, but I just didn't pay the fines that went with them. And that was in '82, so I'm coming home from a friend's house early in the morning with my swimsuit on into and a tank top and a pair of flip-flops. And a nice Tulsa policeman gave me a tour of downtown.
-So how long did you get stuck in the old downtown police facility, we'll call it?
-Too long.
-Too long? OK.
-Most of the day, about six, seven hours, which was long enough to let me know I didn't want to be back there.
-OK, well, let me ask you this here; what was your childhood like growing up there?
-Well, I actually grew up in West Virginia. I had a typical middle town, small town background. I grew up near the mountains in central West Virginia, about 60 miles south of Pittsburgh. I was a middle child. Unfortunately, my mom died of toxic shock one night when I was 11 years old.
-Toxic shock.
-Toxic shock syndrome-- she was one the first people in the United States to have that happen to her, and it was 10 years later before we could even figure out what happened. After my mom died, I went off to college. And from '77 to '87 are sort of what I refer to as 'the dark ages.'
If you grew up in West Virginia 1981, it had the highest unemployment in the United States. My friend in college I lived with, he lived in the county that had the highest unemployment in West Virginia, and there wasn't a lot of positive thriving businesses to go to. I graduated college on December 15, 1981, and on January 3, 1982, I drove to Oklahoma with everything I owned in the world in a little Dotson B-210. It had a bullet hole in the side.
-Oh, nice.
-Because I bought it at an auction, which was sort of a pre-runner that I didn't know anything. That's eventually where I'd end up, It had a piece of Plexiglas in the window, and the blower didn't work. And I figured, hey, what the heck, I'm going to Oklahoma. It's not cold down there. I don't need a heater or and air conditioner. And so I pulled into Oklahoma with everything I owned in the world in that car.
-So that must be kind of like a key to success-- have a bullet hole in your car. Is that sort of a success tip you would give people? Make sure you get the first car that has a bullet hole in it?
-The key is not get hit by the bullet. That'd
be my key.

-So where was kind of like the turning point in your life where you made a decision that you wanted to really begin thriving, if you will, or begin doing something big with your life? When did you have that moment where you said, OK, I've lived this way, and now I want to do something bigger?
-It's pretty simple. From, like I said, '77 to '87. '82 to '84, I was really dark, dark. After I got out of the-- on the bench warrant, I literally came home. And there was a notice from the IRS that my taxes from the year before were going to be audited.
INTERVIEWER: Oh, boy.
-And I opened my bank statement, and there was nothing in my bank statement. And I thought, if I can make it through tonight, I'm going to be OK.
-Yeah, yeah. Did you have a good time when you were audited like I did? I've been audited before. Was it a good time for you? Was it fun? [LAUGHS]
-It was an interesting conversation.
-All right.
-She asked me if I was a creative writer.
-Oh, really?
-So like let me ask you this. When you're getting audited, you're going through the situation where, financially, I mean, you're in a bind. You have no money left in your account. You're being audited by the IRS. You just got back from spending some time in the local jail facility. What were the steps that you took? I mean, could you remember? What were the steps that you took kind of to get you out of that? What was the first--
-At that point, the steps I took were the steps you don't want to take.
-I lied.
INTERVIEWER: Oh, really?
-I made up stuff just to get out of the situation. And I live from day to day, check to check. And I lived for one person, and that was me. And I continued to live that way. And it continued to spiral. I got into a position one night where it was hard to drive, so I decided to walk home.
And it was too far to walk, and like, it took me, like, a half hour to get across the parking lot. And I saw a payphone next to old Scooters delivery pizza. So I called Scooters, ordered a pizza, and a couple big pops. And when the guy come out, I said, hey, are you going to this address? And he says, yeah. I said, well, give me a ride home.
-That's how you made it home.
-That's how I made it home. And I wake up in the morning, and my shoes are here, my jacket's here, there's an empty pizza box. I said, man, this has got to end sometime. But it still wasn't time for it to end.
-So walk me through. It sounds like you're up here. Maybe you start here in the middle. You're going down, you're going down. You're almost like a submarine at this point. You are at the bottom of the bottom. You are--
-I'm at the bottom. I'm living check to check. I mean, not even that. You know, I learned how to write a check on Tuesday and know it won't clear till Friday, how to rob Peter to pay Paul. It was just-- you know, never anything illegal-- stealing or anything like that. But hey, I lived for the moment, lived for the party, lived for myself until September 1987.
INTERVIEWER: September 1987.
-And a buddy of mine invited a friend of his over to go to a movie. And she brought two friends with her. And one of her friends was this beautiful brunette that I just-- [EXHALES] Oh, man. And I had a bottle of whiskey in my hand. And I held it behind my back first time I met her. And I thought, why did-- and then after it was all over, I said, why did I do that? I never try to hide anything from anybody, because I didn't apologize for anything, because I was living for myself, and I didn't really care about anybody else.
So I got her name. And then I dressed up the next day and put my suit and tie on next Monday. Went to the bank where she was the teller, asked her to lunch. And we went to lunch every day for a month, two, three months. And then right before Christmas, she said that she would marry me if-- I didn't have to quit drinking, I didn't have to quit playing softball, I didn't have to quit doing anything I was doing. Only thing I had to do was go to church with her on Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night.
-So when did you have to go again now?
-Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. And I looked at her, looked at me in the mirror. At the time I weighed like 225 pounds. And I always had this same that if you showed me a salesman with an ugly wife, I'll show you somebody who shouldn't be in sales. I'm going to go ahead and close this deal. So I said, yeah. And we ended up getting married in April the next year. And I kept up my end of the bargain, and three or four months later, I got convicted to give my life to God.
But the amazing thing that led to that part of it was it was the OU was playing Miami in the Orange Bowl in '87, when we lost 20 to 14.
CLAY CLARK: So Oklahoma University's playing Miami?
-Yeah, and this is after we're engaged. And I'm sitting there doing shots of tequila at the game.
CLAY CLARK: So you're married?
-No, no. We're not married yet. We got married in April, but I just backed up a minute, to tell you this part. We're sitting here doing the shot. I'm doing the shot. Marie, she doesn't do them. And OU gets ready to lose the game. And walking out, I got about a half a bottle of tequila left. And we're walking to my apartment. And I look at her, and I look at that bottle. And it was like the Holy Spirit just come over me. He says, I don't need you anymore. And I just chunked it in the dumpster. It was like a live spirit just came to me and said you don't need this.
-Well, let me do this, because you jumped back. And I think for a lot of people watching this, I'm thinking of a guy watching this in Ukraine, or a guy watching this from over the planet, and they're going what are you talking about? So I'm going to take just a second and kind of ask you a couple things. What career did you ultimately end up earning your millions in? What kind of business?
-Auto auctions.
-Auto auctions. So you went from the bottom of the bottom to success in the auto auction business. Now, Tony Robbins, he's a self-help author, he says this. He says that "One reason that so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus, we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular."
It sounds to me though, like you focused on your relationship with, what you're saying is, God. And you used the word Holy Spirit a minute ago. What are you talking about when you say, Holy Spirit? What does that mean?
-The Holy Spirit is God. It's part of the trilogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Without him, you can't do anything. That's the bottom line. And until you get to your point in your life where there's no possible way you can succeed, he can't help you, because then you'll think you've done it all yourself.
-So how have you maintained focused on this new relationship, and this new way of living, you're saying a relationship with God, or new way of living? How did you stay focused on that decision? And how did you stay clean there, my friend? Because there's probably people watching this who are going through some substance abuse issues, and a lot of things. Were you and alcoholic, I guess? Were you an alcoholic?
-Not diagnosed, self-diagnosed alcoholic. I have a very addictive personality. If I drink, I drink hard. If I play, I play hard. If I work, I work hard. I get a really myopic focus on things. One week I may be the world's greatest motorcycle rider. And next week, I'm thinking about a different way to sell a car on the internet. Whatever that is, that's my main focus.
-So for anybody watching this, who's maybe going through alcoholism, or some sort of issue, you started there. I mean, you've started there. You started at the bottom. You started with this whole series of issues, it sounds like. Now, as you begin to start a business, what was the first step. How did you start the business?
-We started our business, because we didn't want to work for somebody else, was the whole reason. We didn't start it to make millions of dollars. I was selling office furniture. My wife was a bank teller at First Tulsa. The neighbor across at a house that we bought, every time we saw him, he was driving this old beat up wrecker, with a car on the back, and he was smiling from ear to ear.
-Just for clarification, you're saying a wrecker, like a tow truck?
-Like a tow truck, like a flat bed tow truck.
-So he's driving around town, just smiling, as happy as can be.
-Driving it home into his driveway. But every time I see him, he's just smiling from ear to ear.

Martin Rothwell, Managing Partner of World Travel Insurance says, "We are a family-run business that prides itself on its ability to offer expert advice and a range of very competitive travel insurance policies. Being a travel insurance specialist, we can tailor policies to individual needs and travel plans for people up to the age of 100."
Getting mountaineering and trekking travel insurance was the simplest step in Sarah's adventure for which she spent seven months fundraising for Sparks, the children's medical research charity; to date she has raised £4,000 to help them in their work to give babies the best possible start in life, so that a medical condition or disability at birth is not a barrier to opportunity and fulfilment.
Sarah says, "I know the excellent reputation World First Travel Insurance has. If anything had happened to me I knew I would be well looked after and that World First would take care of my family too. I didn't even consider going anywhere else."
World First Travel Insurance provided Sarah's adventure travel insurance single trip policy with extra cover for her walking at altitude for just £45. The travel insurance specialist automatically covers over 100 sports and offers further options to cover a wide range of hazardous activities.
Sarah adds, "Having a policy from World First gave me total peace of mind, which was really important when I had so much else to think about and organise. The hike was absolutely incredible; I would say it that it's up there with childbirth in terms of sense of achievement and pain. It was extremely gruelling; I was suffering with acute mountain sickness which left me with severe headaches and fatigue. But the view of Kenya and the foothills from the peak of Kilimanjaro was stunningly beautiful. It was such an emotional place for me and all the amazing people that I trekked with."
During her hike Sarah could plot her progress using an innovative website that used GPS positioning. More than 1500 people visited the site, over six days to keep track of where Sarah was upto on her mission to scale the inactive volcano, which peaks at almost 6,000 metres above sea level. Some of the most avid followers were Sarah's daughter and her class mates.
Sarah added, "I feel I'm literally back down to earth with a bump, but the Kilimanjaro hike was the first thing on my 'bucket list' of things to do. I also plan to go to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup and visit the Great Wall of China. World First Travel Insurance will be with me all the way."
