Time required to build Quixtar Business
Being an IBO is not a joke. It takes hard work, very hard work indeed to build a successful Quixtar business. I have explained in my previous posts specially this one that your are not doing any favour to any body by sponsoring them. Instead you are getting them in a not-so-legal scheme where they have to work quite hard, spend this much and fighting these odds to make any worth while money.
Here is, based on my experience the time required by a core IBO. And PLEASE tell me, is it 10-12 hours?
Monday: You wake up, feeling dizzy from the weekend driving you did for Sam sessions and showing the plan. Today is a big day as you have to show the plan for your newly sponsored IBO. You always hesitate to show the plan and despise the moment when some negative person shows up and majority starts yawning and looking their watches too often but what can you do, you've got a dream! You get in your car, put down the tape and start listening to the same thing as last one. You reached ur office, ughh, Monday. One day you'll be free, you know that. But for now, your Monday is much longer than your colleagues. You'll reach home around 10 while they'll spend a nice evening with their friends and family. But, after all, they'll be working all their life and you gonna be free. Just 2 more years.
Around 11, you put on head phone and start listening to Kate. Your upline is telling about the new conference, your credit card payment is overdue. Payment calls are annoying you, but you know you'll be there! With many people.
Around lunch break you get out, look here and there to prospect someone. Every one seems so happy and content with their life. A nice downtown noon. Unable to prospect and cursing yourself, you came back. Your voicemail is blinking and upline has left a message. You pick up the phone and call him. He is not very happy about not moving enough standing order or some similar thing. You don't fight back because you are in submission. After all, when your upline got some 'not so nice' words from his upline, he immediately follow up by sending a thank you message to every one promoting his upline. Somewhere inside you there is a voice saying that you don't deserve to be treated like that. You work your tail off to build this business. But then you tell yourself that your upline has, after all much more sincerity for you than your grumpy boss.
Day goes on. You newly sponsored leg called you at 4 PM, you end up speaking some new prospects on his behalf, assuring them that they need to be there. Your colleagues are kinda uncomfortable with your constant talking on phone in office time.
Well, here comes the business time. You get ready at office washroom, changed your jeans with you suit and rush to your car while avoiding any colleagues. You make sure you have enough lit packs and extra cassettes in your car. On average you lose 2 tapes and 2 lit packs per meeting, equaling $50, but you never thought about it. After all, this all will mean nothing when you'll be platinum and above.
You reach there, set up the board and aisle. Show the plan. There was this one SOB, too cocky and arrogant. You felt insulted but pulled yourself together and went through the plan anyhow. Spread some cassettes; booked few follow ups, called your upline to talk to the most excited person there, which, ironically was the worst dressed and dumbest looking person. You congratulated your new leg, asked him to be on standing order so he can show a plan like you and went back home. You reached home around 11:30. Ate cold dinner, chug down double x and some other vitamins, called your upline and went to bed. But wait, you get up, take care of some banking, which is getting worse and worse, send Kate message, cursing yourself why you forgot to have new IBO send Kate message. Got insulted again by upline for forgetting that. Your upline hardly ever miss the opportunity to say that "These are the reasons you are not making big in this business". Then you log on to Quixtar to see any thing new to promote and then finally at 1:00 AM you went to bed.
Tuesday: Big day! Open today. You got up, put tooth brush in your mouth, but not in a first try. Chug down XS and some vitamins. Grab food bar as you are getting late and went to office. Food bar tasted like shit. At 10:00 you went to washroom to vomit. Same routine, Kate, phone to upline, downline, prospecting and Kate. Your performance is nearly half as much as it used to be. Then you get ready for open, big smile. At least you don't have to show the plan. You made at least 5 calls to different prospects confirming they are coming. Then you get out of office, picked 3 prospect at most difficult locations in the city, hardly make it to open. Some times you receive calls while driving from your sponsor if you are getting late. You are quite used to talking on cell phone while driving, despite being once religiously against it. As your upline said, you can't go platinum without getting few speeding tickets. Plan went alright, but then training started and speaker kept on making jokes and dragged it to 11 PM! You went home around 12 after dropping off all the prospects, who are obviously not so happy as they were promised for an hour only. But they can't complain as they don't have any conveyance and you gave them a ride! Same routine, kate and then book, went to sleep around 2, feeling guilty for not reading enough books, bit angry at your partner for not listening enough tapes.
Wednesday and Thursday: Same routine, even harder as you are constantly being sleep deprived and avoided few traffic accidents, wondering what if other driver slept on wheel as well. More insult from upline, more begging to the prospects, more handing of the tapes, worrying why you never have any lit packs and extra tapes, while loosing 2,3 of them every week. Show one more plan on Thursday, some follow ups on Wednesday and attending one phone meeting on top of it, which lasted till 1:30 AM.
Friday: Finally! Ppl at work are not paying much attention today so you listened kate all day. Rush to home, picked prospects and rushed to QUEST. It's snowing real hard and car is slipping on snow, but what do you care? After all this will be on your rally tape one day, not so far. You gave and awesome presentation of product, book and tape. You are feeling much more comfortable and happy here, as every one is so supportive and nice. Your prospects and downline are happy as well. You went home at 1, but tomorrow is off. You went to bed at 3 after detailed reading of the book promoted in QUEST. You are awaken abruptly by your partner as you forgot today is SAM day! Boom, car ready, no time for breakfast, rush to the other end of the city, 1 hour drive to borrow the SAM machine (Your partner has to beg some crossline to get it), 1 hour back, all day SAM sessions, explain your downline how the products will be delivered and how much profit they'll make. One downline is pissed as she thought she'll be making 3 times more on such a big sale. You always find it awkward arguing with women, so you end up offering some products for free to calm her down. After all, her PV gonna help you to go next level. Ironically, bonus paid at that level is 1/5th of your expenses. But again, you aint gonna stay at that level.
On evening, same old same old. Some calls, some NOs, some shopping around on Quixtar.com, motivating every downline, a surprise call from your emerald. Went to a neighboring city on Sunday to show the plan with your sponsor. 3 hours one way drive on heavy rain, took all your day. Distributed more lit packs and tapes there, purchased some from your sponsor. Out of $50 bucks fuel and $50 bucks on lit packs.
Here comes the next week, same stuff, PLUS conference is coming. You gonna go and get more people there, other wise the look in your upline eye will make you melt from shame.....
PS: This is 100% my true story. I don't have any reasons to exaggerate. I am not getting any PV to share it. I just wish that no one has to go through what I went through it. Decision is yours.
And PLEASE tell me, was it 10-12 hours? It was 4 hours daily AT LEAST on weekdays, and 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday. 32 Hours!
Did you know that time required to build this business will be this much?
If not then you were lied to.
Do you tell your prospects what is the time commitment for this business?
If you don't then you are lying.

Tattoo - GOR-68517-09
Tattoos once were considered to be form of anti-conformist but not anymore.
In some cultures this is viewed as body art. In the United States this can be seen in national advertisements and on television and the movies. Body art or tattoos has entered the mainstream it is know longer considered a weird kind of subculture.

Go-Stone Panels are an environmentally friendly, panelized stone system created for the "Do-it-yourselfer" in mind. Go-Stone is sold in multiples of 5 sq. ft., each box of stone equals one less tire entering our landfills. Approximately 242 million tires are discarded annually in the United States alone. Fewer than 7% are recycled, 11% are burned for fuel and 5% are exported. The remaining 78% are sent to landfills, stockpiled or illegally dumped.
- Go-stone panels are a durable, realistic, light weight, simulated stone veneer
- Go-stone corner panels are an attractive asset for the flat panels and help reduce seams when installed correctly
- Go-stone is intended for interior application only
- Go-stone is easily installed using a 12 in. torpedo level, ceramic tile and stone adhesive, 1/4 in. notched floor trowel, drywall saw or wet-cut saw, measuring tape

Deseret News exclusive: Caught in the crossfire, a Utah family's harrowing firsthand account of the Kenyan mall massacre
SCMom Spring Creek, NVSept. 29, 2013 7:44 p.m.
Thank you for sharing this hair-raising experience with us. Kenya seemed so far away when we heard this on the news, but not so when we realize that our Utah neighbors were there and their own neighbors in Kenya were so sadly stricken. Best wishes in the days of healing.
Luke Nelson West Valley City, UTSept. 28, 2013 6:58 p.m.
Followup question: If they were, how would we avoid killing innocent people? It's just not that simple.
suzyk#1 Mount Pleasant, UTSept. 28, 2013 9:03 a.m.
I don't care how wonderful an opportunity for employment would seem...if it meant living outside of the United States of America I would never ever do that. My peace and safety is within the boundaries of our Country and no where else.
DGDENTON Gainesville, TXSept. 28, 2013 12:46 a.m.
We must use some common sense. Every citizen must be prepared to protect himself. If the people in the mall were armed, many more could have been saved. Spare me any rhetoric about the dangers of guns. A gun is a tool used to equalize the playing field between terrorist and the innocent citizens.
Capt Moroni Perris, CASept. 27, 2013 4:38 p.m.
Remember, folks, that murder is the killing of innocents, so we would be justified hunting this group down and eradicating it from the Earth with a Cruise Missle.
Giles48 South Jordan, UTSept. 27, 2013 12:55 p.m.
Great EXCLUSIVE Article DNews!! So glad this family was kept safe during this terrifying situation. It's a sad, scary, crazy world we live in these days.
David Centerville, UTSept. 27, 2013 10:59 a.m.
I am glad that this family is safe. I wish we had a peaceful world. Unfortunately leaders like President Obama have failed to grasp our current world. Just this week Obama stated that we are now in the most peaceful time covering the past 5 years. I just don't see it.

@Liberal Ted
My feelings are in line with yours...
@Confused in AZ
I'm no politician(I'm kind of thinking gratefully so these days..)and I'm not "up to snuff" and details on laws, nor am I Liberal Ted, BUT I do feel as freedom loving societies it is PAST time for "pussyfooting" around with terrorists and get deadly serious with zero tolerance laws and attitudes and do away with keys and prison sentences. They are an EXTREME THREAT to life, living, and ANY sort of happiness or even at ease public life...(or at times EVEN private!).
Confused in AZ Chandler, AZSept. 27, 2013 9:03 a.m.
Hey, Liberal Ted- I am a liberal, too , and LDS just as this family is. I would like to know your thoughts on exactly HOW to put "an end to the intolerance and hate" as you suggest. We cannot control the teachings of the islamic faith that the terrorists profess to practice. Exactly how do we do what you suggest? We need real solutions and not general tired and much used rhetoric. It is a sad and pathetic world we live in and we must be close to end days as described in Revelations. I fear for my grandchildren and their children in the times to come. I'm very thankful that this family survived and lived to tell about their ordeal. It is bone chilling at the very least.Make yours a happy day!
Liberal Ted Salt Lake City, UTSept. 27, 2013 7:00 a.m.
These aren't just terroists. They are going in and systematically slaughtering people that are not of their faith. This is genocide and ethnic cleansing. They are no better than hitler and the ss squads when they went about their "cleansing" efforts.
Every freedom loving country needs to be involved in this and put an end to the intolerance and hate.
indycrimson Franklin, INSept. 27, 2013 4:17 a.m.
Exclusive means they are the sole source or only source for the news.
Breaking means it just happened

@ sanpaco---
"...I'm failing to see how this qualifies as Breaking News."
While the actual attack is now over and the smoke is now clearing, this report IS Breaking News... the first eyewitness, "live report" transcribed back to the DesNews from a Utah native who was there to witness the event!!! This first-person report is "hot off the press, baby!"
This is NOT the type of story you sit and cool your heels over; and just wait for it to run in tomorrow's print edition. You "break" this type of news --day or night-- the *instant* it is available to send.
Anyway... what a compelling story. So glad these folks are safe and sound! Thanks, DNews, for getting this breaking story out on the web at the earliest opportunity.
sanpaco Sandy, UTSept. 26, 2013 10:22 p.m.
Great story and article and thanks for sharing... but I'm failing to see how this qualifies as Breaking News.
DN Subscriber 2 SLC, UTSept. 26, 2013 9:54 p.m.
Thankfully, this family was spared.
There is much to be learned from their experience, especially situational awareness, being alert to possible escape routes, emergency communications, and the fact that terrorist attacks are not only possible, but almost inevitable, even here in the U.S. The Trolley Square killings by a single individual pale in comparison to what a team of suicidal killers might do.
Every mall in the U.S. should remove their "defenseless victim zone" gun ban signs and allow customers who are properly licensed to carry their self defense weapons. No, a single armed individual will not stop a determined terrorist attack, but they may be able to distract the bad guys, or maybe even take one out and thus enable their own escape, or delay the bad guys momentarily, slowing the carnage while police professionals are en route.
People really need to think about if they want to get a concealed weapon permit. And, having a tool alone is not enough, they really should get some good training on how to use it in an emergency situation.
Truthseeker SLO, CASept. 26, 2013 9:24 p.m.
Glad you are all safe. What an experience. I'm especially sad for those who lost loved ones.
Extremism comes in all shapes and sizes--threatening the stability and safety of society.
We must work together to stop it.
Red Salt Lake City, UTSept. 26, 2013 8:49 p.m.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this story. Nothing like bringing it home than to have a fellow Utahn in the middle of things with a play by play account.
I am glad you are safe.
The darkest clouds in the history of the world are gathering on the horizon.
It is for sure time for us all to stick together and help each other every day. We need to love every single day that we have.

Islamic convert who set off nail bomb in cafe toilet found dead in prison cell
AN ISLAMIC extremist jailed after he detonated a nail bomb in the toilet of a crowded restaurant has been found dead in his cell.
Nicky Reilly, who set off a nail bomb in a restaurant toilet, has died in prison
Nicky Reilly, who changed his name to Mohammad Rashid Said-Alimbe, set off his deadly cargo at Exeter's city centre Giraffe restaurant in 2008 as part of a planned coordinated attack.
Reilly, 22 at the time, was the only person injured in the blast and was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison, but he was found dead at Manchester's Strangeways Prison.
He was "a peaceful Muslim", according to his mother, until just a few weeks before his attack when he made contact with radicals online.
Police believe extremists took advantage of Reilly's low IQ and history of mental illness to poison his mind with their extremist rhetoric.
The autistic attacker, 30 at the time of his death, made his explosive device using kerosene, drain cleaner, aluminium and nails.
But the bomb went off prematurely and also misfired, leaving everybody in the crowded restaurant unharmed apart from Reilly, whose Islamic name Mohammad Rashid Said-Alimbe is a homage to the 9/11 bombers.
Police discovered two other devices near the scene but rendered them safe before they could wreak widespread devastation around Exeter's shopping mall.
CCTV footage shows Reilly going into the Giraffe cafe in Exeter before detonating the bomb
Reilly received a text message of support from his online brainwashers prior to the attack.
He travelled on the X38 bus from Plymouth to the restaurant, a journey of around 45 miles on a bus with more than 50 passengers on board.
When police raided Reilly's home they found he had a screen saver of the Twin Towers in flames on his home computer.
Reilly, who changed his name to Mohammad Rashid Said-Alimbe, carried the bomb on a bus
The cause of Reilly's death is as yet unknown, but police are launching a full investigation.
His mother, Kim, confirmed her son had passed away but said she was "too upset" to elaborate.
Former Devon and Cornwall Police Assistant Chief Constable, Bob Spencer, who commanded the emergency response to the attempted bombing, said: "My sympathies go to his family and loved ones.
"But Reilly did attempt to commit a terrible crime, and justice had to be done in terms of him receiving a long prison sentence."

Ninja Theory Confirms Unannounced Project
"We have an exciting opportunity for a Lead Designer who can take responsibility for working with the Directors & the senior management team to create, define and shape the overall vision of a new unannounced project," reads the job posting on the Ninja Theory website.
Ninja Theory's Enslaved was released earlier this month, while the studio's Devil May Cry prequel DmC was unveiled by Capcom at the Tokyo Games Show.
The "new unannounced project" would appear to be a AAA title, rather than a downloadable or online game, such as other developers have experimented with recently.
The ad seeks applicants that have "AAA title experience with at least 1 AAA as Lead Designer," while a bonus requirement is listed as "experience using the Unreal engine within game design."
Could it be a sequel to Enslaved, or something else? Expect it to be narrative-based – creative chief Tameem Antoniades recently told NowGamer that DmC will up the storytelling and character stakes.

Limited Lifetime Warranty
Posted by A.T.M. on 8th Apr 2013
Appears to be well made and the nmolded handle looks durable, a plus in comparison with the original plastic handle. Good finish on the blade too, and the blade appears to be the same as the original. I like the words "US ARMY" stamped near the end of the handle with the Army insignia stamped opposite it. Just like the U.S.M.C. bayonet. I give it a thumbs up.

Grey London and WPP's Team News agency group has unveiled a multichannel campaign to launch The Sun's January blues-busting Big Smile Giveaway – a range of promotions, funny content and giveaways to help the nation through its 'most depressing' month.
The campaign – continuing the 'Get Involved' brand proposition which Grey launched for the UK's best-selling newspaper last year – broke with a 50' TV brand spot on 1st January and is supported by additional 60'/40' versions, digital outdoor and DM activity, and in-paper.
The ad, which was produced by Rattling Stick and directed by former Fallon Executive Creative Director Andy McLeod, is a charming sing-along led by a young girl already fed up with January. Encouraging viewers to 'smile through the pain, the snotty noses and the rain', her cheeky lyrics and unexpected delivery will put smiles on the faces of even the gloomiest viewers. It's the perfect introduction to a campaign that plans to 'kick January where there ain't no sun'.
The Sun's Big Smile Giveaway runs for three months, kicking off with the return of holidays from £9.50 in January and culminating in the paper's two free tickets to Alton Towers promotion in March. In the intervening weeks other smile-inducing offers include family days out at top UK attractions, money off shopping, free family cinema tickets and free Lego. The campaign will live in editorial as well as through marketing, promotions and on-line, with a range of content created to give away smiles across all of The Sun's platforms – the paper itself, thesun.co.uk, social media and an app.
Furthermore, The Sun Smile Squad will be visiting towns up and down the country purveying random acts of kindness – from giving out free Sunbrellas to keep you dry and gloves to keep you warm, to paying road toll charges and providing cups of tea from the Sun tea van.
Rob Painter, Marketing Director The Sun, says: "There's no better barometer of the nation's mood than The Sun, and we know that the start of the year and winter can be tough. With the Big Smile Giveaway, we wanted to give our readers something to look forward to and put a smile back on the faces of Britain."
Nick Stringer, Director of Marketing Communications, News International, says: "We needed an idea that could amplify everything that's great about The Sun, at a time of year when people need a pick-me-up. Grey's campaign does that perfectly, with a strong look and feel for the quarter and a TV spot that is a call to the British public to 'get involved' with the paper's editorial and its unrivalled promotional schedule."
Nils Leonard, Executive Creative Director, GREY London, says: "Nothing like a singsong to get us through our darkest month. The Sun's Big Smile Giveaway is perfectly fronted by a toothless superstar."

Probably none of you often wonder how someone can know the position or location at the time we are online in the internet. You need to know the time and are doing the activity on the Internet, your computer provide information such as the Internet address that is often called an IP Address. With this IP address someone else can track the whereabouts or location of other Internet users.
How to Track the Location of Internet users by using IP Address Lookup
Typically they use an online tool called IP Address Lookup. This tool allows you to easily find all available information by using the IP address : the owner of the IP address, the country/state name, IP addresses range, contact information (address, phone, fax, and email), and many more.
How to use IP Address Lookup tool is very easy.You only need to enter the IP address, and the online application that will show you where the location of the IP address and display it on the map. With IP Address Lookup you can track the IP address of your current location or search for the IP address of a person. Regarding how to know the IP address, I have explained in my previous writings.
Here are three online IP Address Lookup tools that I often use to track suspicious IP to my blog :
There you just enter the IP Address you want to track. How easy, is not it? You can now find out where the originating IP address alone.
By default, the IP Address of your track will appear on the map and a description of detailed information about the IP address being tracked, Latitude, logitude and hostname. Other features you can find information from the ISP that provides Internet services into the IP Address.
Maybe so first my simple information on how How To Track an IP Address Location using IP Address Lookup tool, hopefully with the simple information that I can give to Track Location An IP Address you want to search its existence.

Georgia on mind
Bad news follows Dawgs' LB tandem
Credit: AP
INDIANAPOLIS — The draft stock of Georgia's pair of defensive stars has taken a hit this week at the combine — but for much different reasons.
Outside linebacker Jarvis Jones was a candidate to be the first player taken after totaling an SEC-high 28 sacks over the last two seasons, but his spinal stenosis has hit the medical staffs' spotlight at Lucas Oil Stadium. Inside linebacker Alec Ogletree, who could be the first player taken at his position, was charged with a DUI earlier this month.
With the NFL world closing in on them, they've leaned on each other to remain upbeat.
"We talk," Ogletree said. "He supports me, and I support him. We both know we're good persons. He has his things, and I have my things."
Jones' issue was briefly yesterday's biggest story before Manti Te'o hit the podium, but the Bulldog has been intertwined with the draft's politics. Reports indicated teams had removed Jones from their draft boards, which is either accurate or a ploy to disguise interest to hurt his stock. Jones, on the other hand, was convinced his medical checkups went well.
"I saw a lot of doctors, and they weren't too concerned about what they saw," Jones said. "They thought I was fine. I don't know how people feel or the coaches feel about taking me off their board, but I think I'm fine. I heard a lot of good news today, so I'm excited.
"If I shouldn't be playing this game, I should have stopped a long time ago. From my MRI the first day it happened to today, my neck hasn't gotten any worse. It still looks the same. That's good."
Jones was diagnosed with a narrowing spine after injuring his neck as a freshman at USC in 2009. He was told he'd never play football again, so he got some second opinions from spinal specialists, transferred to Georgia and sparked the defense. Jones has worked to strengthen the muscles in his neck and shoulders and perfect his technique to prevent injuries.
NFL teams could be concerned about the length of his career, either due to a significant injury or a potentially degenerative condition.
Ogletree became the latest in a long line of players to make a poor decision during the most intensive job interview of his life. Now, in order to use a high pick on him, teams must believe it's an isolated incident.
"I don't really know what it's going to do," Ogletree said. "I feel bad about it. I'm really sorry about it. I just have to move forward and take whatever I get."
Cover up
With the NFL's passing explosion, teams are using all of their resources to find coverage linebackers, whether they're three-down players or rotational guys in nickel packages.
The Patriots are in that boat. They've got a good core of starters in Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes and Dont'a Hightower, and they re-signed top backup Dane Fletcher to a one-year deal. That doesn't mean the Pats won't be searching for depth.
"I think it's pretty much understood that you have to be a complete player to play at the next level," said Stanford's Chase Thomas, who met with Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia on Friday. "You have to be able to rush the passer. You have to be able to match up one-on-one against a tight end or running back, and you've got to play in space."
Rutgers linebacker Khaseem Greene, a converted safety who is friends with Bill Belichick's son Steve, could be another target.
"I don't know where I'd be right now if I stayed at safety," Greene said. "I'm definitely blessed. I'm thankful that (former Rutgers) coach (Greg) Schiano saw something in me that I didn't see in myself and made the switch."
Bet on it
LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery made a surprising admission yesterday when he offered an anecdote that he placed bets with fellow first-round prospect and teammate Barkevious Mingo while in college.
"We had three bets going on," Montgomery said. "One was who had the most sacks for $1,000. I won that. I can't remember the $500 bet. Oh yeah, it was who had the most sacks in the last game. I won that. Now we're fighting to compete who's going to win the highest in the draft. That amount of money is pretty big, so I need to come through with this one. It's $5,000."

The Tangled Web: Part II
"You mean the problem of having lost the world's most powerful mage to an army of spider-like monsters."
"Yes, that is the problem I was referring to."
"Excuse me," Lius interrupted. "Who is Dragoneyes?"
"Dragoneyes is a companion of ours. He is a powerful mage, and he will help us stop an evil shade from seizing the Green Tower and destroying life as we know it."
"I see," Lius said.
Dran turned his atttention back to me. "Should one of us go in and get him?"
"Well, Amniel of the White Tower, do you have any better ideas?"
"No... not yet? Why don't we both take some time to think. See if we can't come up with something."
"And if we can't come up with something?"
"Then one of us will have to take a huge risk."
I was thinking about what we could do. I could move air. Dran could control ice. Cassinder was a powerfull sorceress. I thought about what we needed to accomplish. We needed to find Dragoneyes, and extract him. Could Cassinder's powers locate him? I doubted it. I could sense air currents, but he likely wasn't breathing. And I couldn't detect him more than a few dozen paces away regardless. What about moving him? How would we do that? Could I blow him out? No. Winds strong enough to move people... without a line of sight... probably at a great range... impossible. Could Dran do it? Somehow?
I wasn't getting anywhere. Time to start over. What can we do?
Dran was jealous. He had lived the first nineteen years of his life in the Black Tower. He had spent the vast majority of time with just two people: his mother and his father. At times he had hated his imprisonment, at times he had reveled in the solitude. But the fact remained, the Black Tower was more than his home. It was his universe. Phorius and Mauria had been more than parents. They were the only people with whom he had conversed more than four times. And they were dead. And the Black Tower was in the hands of the man who murdered them.
Dranarius hated Koteph. He wanted the man- the shade- dead. He wanted to take everything from Koteph as Koteph had taken everything from him. But he knew that wasn't possible. He was no match for Koteph. Instead, he would have to watch as Dragoneyes fought the shade. Dragoneyes, who done nothing to deserve his power. Dragoneyes who had no right to kill Koteph.
But Dran was realistic. He knew it would have to be Dragoneyes. He knew he was being petty. And he also had a pretty nice idea to free Dragoneyes.
"Could you force air into the tunnels," he asked. "And squash the bugs."
"No." I tried to imagine how much air that would be. Many times the amount normally in the tunnels. But it did give me an idea. "Do you know what air is? It is a mixture of different substances. Only one of those substances is necessary for life."
"So, I can remove that substance. Suffocate the bugs. The people aren't breathing, so they will be fine. Then, we can just go in and rescue Dragoneyes."
We talked the idea over. We couldn't come up with anything better. Dran, Cassinder, and I walked to the edge of the cave. Lius followed.
I began to speak the True Name of air. Gasses moved, and the air in the cavern became less and less breathable. I continued to chant. I could feel the air shifting. I could sense as one by one, the monsters ceased breathing. They suffocated quickly. Insects don't have lungs with which to hold their breath.
"It is done."
"Congratulations," Dran said. "You just slayed a whole cavern full of monsters with one word."
I returned the air to its former vitality. I was about to enter the caves. "Wait." I turned to Lius. "There is a dark sorcerer. Koteph. He plans to launch an attack on the Green Tower. Do you understand?"
"Koteph. Green Tower."
"Yes. If Dran and I don't make it out, I want you to take Cassinder to the University, and warn the Masters of the impending attack. Can you do that?"
"I don't know."
"That will have to do."
We entered the caves. Dran and I created luminous spheres to stave off the dark. Dragoneyes' passing had left footprints in the webs, and we had little trouble tracking him.
Eventually we found him. His eyes were closed, and his copper skin was covered in a thin layer of white webbing. We roused him from his slumber.
"The monsters. They drew you in. They had the power to lure people into their lair."
"And I fell for it."
"Yes," Dran said. "Fortunately, we were able to save you."
"Well," he said, "if it is any consolation, I now know the True Name of spider silk."
He spoke the Name, and the cocoons around us began to thin. I could see the toll the spell was taking on him, but it was working. By the time we left, people were beginning to wake up. Dragoneyes stumbled on the way out. "There are thousands of people in those tunnels. They are going to need food, and water."
"We need to move."
"We will," he said. He invoked the True Name of stone, and created four large cisterns. He collapsed from the effort. Cassinder helped him up.
I knew what he was planning. "Save your strength, Dragoneyes."
"These people are going to need water."
"Although," Dran said, "they could probably make do with ice." He waved his hand, each trough was filled with frozen water. "There. Now I'm exhausted too. Let's get moving."

Hi Michael,ReplyDelete
I'm writing today on behalf of TEDxRedmond, a conference organized by youth, for youth, in which we look for accomplished students to come share their passion through speeches and performances. I know this an incredibly strange way to contact you, but this was the only method I could find to directly reach out to you. In researching potential speakers, we were really impressed by your accomplishments in scientific research and recent success at the Intel Science Talent Search competition, and would love to have you come speak at our conference in Redmond, Washington. All costs and logistics associated with the flights and hotels will be dealt with by our organization. The conference this year will be held on September 12th. Please tell us if this day works for you and if you are interested in speaking, as well as any other questions you may have, by emailing email@example.com. For more information about TEDxRedmond, please visit http://tedxredmond.com/.
Thanks (and again, I'm sorry for the weird way in which I had to do this),

I bought shoes today. I know what you are thinking but I don't do it often. Darian will say otherwise but he doesn't understand how good he has it! My mum is a millipede but I only have a couple of pairs... honest! Not just that but I have rules: I don't buy shoes unless they are under $35 and I don't replace old shoes until I have walked through them. Which is exactly what happened today. My boots fell to shreds and my feet hurt just standing so I found a replacement for $25! See both rules in one buy.
On another diet... don't smirk I know you have heard it all before. My eating habits aren't actually that terribly different from what they were before just the fun has been sucked out of it. Calorie counting this time... 1200 per day (in real terms thats about half of what I would like to be eating). I have been trying to keep it interesting but that is hard when we have both been working ridiculous hours. Darian's more so than mine, he is a workaholic. It is 11.30 and he is still at work. It is my bed time now so I will leave you with this:
"You can plan everything down to the last detail but life still has a way of kicking you in the balls." Good advice from a man to his daughter in the weird show I am watching with an all New Zealand cast. I guess they are from New Zealand. They sound like Darian. It is called Burying Brian and I am dubbing it NZ's answer to Sex in the City ... maybe mix in that weird movie Keeping Mum and you will be a bit closer.
Love to all!
Poor Brian | Floods | New Shoes | Funless Food | Arthritic kitty | Work :(

This section will be dedicated solely to photographic images to show just why cameras - digital or otherwise - cannot be trusted when it comes to claiming that it is that of a ghost, spirit, demon or any other entity you'd like to make up that no actual evidence has been found of.
We aren't going to re-educate you on cameras and how they work, as many other sites have already done that. The one at the Paranormal Study and Independant Research Organisation (PSIRO) is phenomenal, can be found here and is definitely worth a look.
Another excellent page to visit and spend some time reading is the site for the Digital Photography School. Their page with links to articles about exposure, ISO and other details makes for invaluable reading and can be found here.
Instead, this section will have various different photographs from experiments we have ourselves done in order to educate ourselves on what can be found or photographed and how to identify the causes. This includes lens flare, airborne particles, shadows, insects, meteorological circumstances and outright fakes (including phone or android apps). We personally do not count any anomalies identifed on photographs as evidence for the paranormal, and more can be read on the Equipment section here.
This gallery will be under constant construction so check back often.

Owning rental property can be a fabulous investment. Being a landlord however, can get complicated. Having legal counsel to help with your initial lease, advise you as to what you can and cannot do, and to assist with regaining possession, unpaid rent and damages when a tenant stops paying, can be the difference between quick resolution of problems versus long drawn-out court battles.
Whether you're buying property at foreclosure auctions or you need help with a non-paying tenant, we can help you quickly get your property vacated so you can get it on the market or get it re-rented.
Virginia Eviction Procedure and Fees
Step 1: Demand letter.
- To start, we send a notice letter mailed certified to the tenant, stating amounts owed, the breach, details of default and the potential repercussions. Cost: $250*
Step 2: 5 Day Notice to Pay or Quit.
- This is a statutorily provided for document that must be sent to a tenant prior to filing the lawsuit for eviction (the Unlawful Detainer). It is served by the county sheriff. This is a prerequisite step before we can assist you in evicting your tenant. Cost: $300*
Step 3: Filing the Unlawful Detainer Action.
- This is the actual lawsuit for eviction. We also have it served by the Sheriff. This will set the first return day, where we will appear and either set a date for trial (see Step 3A) or take a default judgment, with immediate possession of the property and judgment. We will then file a Writ of Possession which allows the Sheriff to conduct the eviction. Cost: $800*
Step 3A: The contested return day.
- If the tenant contests the claim and we have to prepare a bill of particulars, prepare for and appear at trial. Cost $1000*
Documents we need you to provide us with:
- If we are evicting a homeowner who has been foreclosed upon, we will need a copy of the recorded Deed.
- If we are evicting a tenant, we need a copy of the lease. If the lease provides for attorney fees, we will need the original lease in order to ask for them.
If you are a tenant and feel like you are being treated unfairly, that your landlord is not abiding by the lease, or you feel you are being unjustly evicted – we can help. Contact The Burger Law Firm today. We will review your lease and other relevant papers and do all we can to help ensure you are treated fairly.

SBD/8/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published October 8, 1996
MLS is set to begin its playoff semifinals on Thursday, eight days after the conclusion of the first round, which is "too much down time," according to Frank Dell'Apa of the BOSTON GLOBE. MLS is "in the midst of what should be the most suspenseful time of the season. ... But instead of drama, the MLS is producing apathy." The league had to arrange stadium availability and conflicts with World Cup matches, but MLS "added to the problem by insisting on the best-of-three format." Dell'Apa notes that formula "has been rejected as impractical and superfluous by most league. Hopefully, MLS is learning why." Under the current system, some players will be playing in their fifth game in 11 days during the MLS Cup on October 20 in Foxboro, "not a formula for optimal performance." Instead, Dell'Apa recommends changing to a two-game, home-and-home series, with total goals as the first tiebreaker (BOSTON GLOBE, 10/8). REVIEWS: MLS "surprised a lot of skeptics in its freshman season with solid attendance and cash flows that exceeded projections at most of the ten teams," according to the latest FORBES. L.A. Galaxy Chair Marc Rapaport is featured for his "big score" in the L.A. market (FORBES, 10/21)....In Boston, Revolution investor Bob Kraft, on the future of pro soccer: "We averaged better than 19,000 paid per game. That's more than the Bruins and Celtics average. ... From what I saw at Foxboro this year, the crowds were half-male, half-kids 8-15 years old, half suburban and about one-third new Americans" (BOSTON GLOBE, 10/5).

If you read my blog you'll notice that I deleted the post about doing NaNoWriMo again this year. I couldn't come up with a story to write and any way I haven't been in writing mode in a while. It's like I have no interest in writing whatsoever. A sad state of affairs I know, but I'm convinced I'll be bitten by the writing bug again soon. I just have some issues to sort through. Then, who knows what great stories will flow from my pen?
Oh, BTW, it's my birthday today. So Happy Birthday to me!!!!

This is an analysis of my mutual fund investing journey in particular, the growth of my retirement corpus. The aim of this post is only to share my insights. The main reason I did this analysis is to explore the possibility of creating a tool to automate this analysis.
My first ever equity investment was on 19th June 2008. The markets were about to crash, but I had no idea about all that simply because I was not looking.
The blue line is my normalized retirement corpus (equity portion alone). Starting from a value of '1' on 19th June 2008, it is currently now '1830'.
Since I had extremely small amounts of equity exposure up to early 2010, the recovery from the 2008 crash did very little to bolster my folio.
When you look at the data as shown above, plotted with BSE 500, it gives the impression that the folio has almost been immune to market movements and has gone up regardless!
The devil lies in the details!
This is my total investments plotted along with the corpus. My investment was '1' on 19th June 2008 and has increased to '1429'.
So much of the corpus growth has been due to investments which shot up rapidly in 2010.
Now gain or loss has been added. Notice that the folio was in red for more than 5Y after I started investing. The gains started only in Aug 2013 when the market started to move up.
The net XIRR of this folio is 11.1% (12 Feb 2016).
Personally, I am at peace with this. All I have done is to put away money into the market each month. Close to 8 years of doing this has taken me to within 7-8 years of (notional) financial freedom: Retirement Planning: My Story So Far
So I see no reason to do anything different. Freefincal tools have helped me understand risk more than anything else.
My takeaways from this journey:
- Market returns are highly irregular. The corpus gain shot up from zero to 600 in a little more than a year.
- The main reason for this gain: systematic increase of capital in the market during the lean period. To me, this is the secret behind wealth creation with systematic investing.
- Keep your head down, ignore the noise and constantly deploy money into the markets.
- All the gains made so far can evaporate in this 'crash'. However, that is because of NAV movement, not because of decrease in mutual fund units.
- My technical retirement is 24 years away. So even if I do miss my 7/8Y target, I do not mind too much.
- People talk about a poor show in 2016 and then markets picking up. If that is true (rarely is), then I don't think my target will be affected.
The main reason I write this is to illustrate the point that one has to wait patiently for gains to arrive. Some say it is 'stupid' to do this – active management is essential.
I believe active management is essential too. I have actively analysed my portfolio and I have made an active choice that my dull and boring systematic monthly investments are going to continue.

Check out some options how csv files might be converted to spd format.
As far as we know, there doesn't seem to exist any csv to spd conversion possible, although there is plenty of various SPD file types available and perhaps some really work with CSV data.
However, it may be that you were looking for a way to import contacts in CSV format to a Samsung Kies backup, which is in fact SPB not SPD. If that is the case, please check out the csv to spb conversion.
Updated: September 19, 2017
Unfortunately, there is no detailed software record in the database for this conversion.
This conversion entry was verified by us and conversion from csv to spd was flagged as wrong or not possible.
Usually this happens when the conversion would try to convert different types of data between each other, such as audio to image, or it can't be done because incompatibility between programs, caused by closed file formats, very limited support or by other problems.
If you find entry that you feel is flagged as bad wrongly, please tell us in the discussion form below with as much as information as possible so we can fix it.

The Masters
It's safe to wonder if we've seen the last of Tiger Woods in the Masters Tournament.
Marc Leishman earned a spot in this year's Masters with a win last month at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. In Sunday's final round, he's been on quite the roller coaster ride.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A look at some of the anniversaries this year at the Masters:
9 Apr 2017 - 11:58am - 0 Comments
Here are the tee times and player pairings for the final round of the 2017 Masters Tournament, on April 9, at Augusta National Golf Club. All times are Eastern.

The Masters is here. Whether you're stuck at your computer, or following along at home, here's the schedule for how you can take in the action at Augusta National Golf Club either online or on your television.
9 Apr 2017 - 11:56am - 0 Comments
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Here are three key things to know about Saturday's round of the Masters and four more things to watch in the final round today: Round 3
9 Apr 2017 - 10:50am - 0 Comments
Aaron St. Charles knew Arnold Palmer for two reasons -- and two reasons only.
9 Apr 2017 - 8:05am - 0 Comments
Today, Masters Sunday, would have been the 60th birthday of one of the all-time greats -- Severiano Ballesteros.
9 Apr 2017 - 8:00am - 0 Comments
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Justin Rose charged from behind on the back nine at Augusta National. Sergio Garcia received the kind of break that allowed him to wonder if maybe the golfing gods are finally on his side after all these years.
8 Apr 2017 - 7:50pm - 0 Comments
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Rory McIlroy was in great position - on the leaderboard, in the fairway, on the green - to make a run in the Masters. He wound up going nowhere.
8 Apr 2017 - 7:30pm - 0 Comments
Fred Couples, all 57 years of him, is hanging in there remarkably well in the third round of the Masters. Couples, the 1992 Masters champion, birdied the par-5 13th to get to 1 under for the day and 2 under for the tournament -- just four behind leader Charley Hoffman.
8 Apr 2017 - 5:53pm - 0 Comments
The rest of the field at the 81st Masters had better look out. Jordan Spieth, winner of the 2015 Masters, is on the move. Spieth parred each of his first five holes before closing out the front nine with three birdies in four holes.
8 Apr 2017 - 4:31pm - 0 Comments
It took six holes, but Jordan Spieth finally snagged his first birdie of the third round at the Masters. After a solid tee shot on the par-3 sixth, the 2015 Masters champion faced a 44-footer for birdie. Here's what he did with the putt:

Saturday is Moving Day at the Masters. So far, three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson is moving in the right direction.
8 Apr 2017 - 2:48pm - 0 Comments
As we've seen early on this Saturday at Augusta National, there are birdies -- and even eagles -- to be had in the third round of the 2017 Masters.
8 Apr 2017 - 2:41pm - 0 Comments
We haven't seen a hole-in-one yet this week at the Masters. Jason Day, the No. 3-ranked player in the world -- nearly changed that on Saturday. Check out his tee shot into the par-3 sixth:
8 Apr 2017 - 12:54pm - 0 Comments
Jeff Knox is a legend at Augusta National. Though the 51-year-old has never been a competitor in the Masters, he's racked up his share of tee times during tournament week, playing as a non-competing marker.

From the "this will give you chills" department...
8 Apr 2017 - 11:58am - 0 Comments
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Thomas Pieters has imagined himself sinking the winning putt at Augusta National countless times.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Fred Couples isn't concerned about 57. Not when he's shooting 70 on another challenging day at Augusta National.

749 Tasting Notes
[Comparison LB, Fancy LB, & Fujian]
I'm sorry to post similar notes, I'm hopefully making it easier on myself if I need to scroll back through my notes and check something out.
Initial sips, LB and Fancy LB are pretty well the same, but the FLB is ever so slightly creamier, and LB is very subtly sweeter. There is almost, almost and underlying bitter note to the fancy LB, but that could be my mind playing tricks.
In comparing, I see how different the Fujian is. It's still by far the closest to LB I've ever experienced, but there is a hint of Bailin, which I've found in the Ailaoshan as well from Whispering Pines. Yes, more Bailin than LB perhaps, but still LB-like.
I always try to sit back and enjoy my teas (granted, that doesn't always happen), but I don't generally attempt to decipher each and every note in every cup I enjoy, unless I'm doing comparisons.

I always try to sit back and enjoy my teas (granted, that doesn't always happen), but I don't generally attempt to decipher each and every note in every cup I enjoy, unless I'm doing comparisons.
Fancy LB! I just ordered an ounce of this one.
I think a comparison is definitely needed. Which reminds me I want to do a comparison between LB and Fujian. Perhaps all three at once!
This one has all the delicious qualities of LB, and they could be more enhanced, but without a side-by-side I can't say for sure. However, this is certainly an enjoyable cup.
My Verdant order was waiting for me after I got off work today. Yes!
This I added into the pre-order after the fact, when I saw it was finally back in stock. I wish I had ordered more. It is so tasty, in a way unlike any other tea.
It's light, yet not light, and so creamy and cake-like, yet not completely cake-like. What an awful description. The black base is so perfectly balanced with the herbal aspects. Nothing is overwhelming or underwhelming. Truly a perfect balance. I could drink this constantly I think.
I'm resteeping now. Oh yes, and it's comforting. Ahh comforting teas are the best after long, somewhat frustrating days in an office.
[1st steep 1.5 tsp @ boiling, 4 minutes \\ resteep @ boiling 6-7 minutes]
I mixed 2 parts LB and 1 part of this for my morning cup. I haven't been drinking much tea at all, and not just because I'm spending as much time as possible outside in the sun. I'm back to working full-time, which is actually overtime, since I somehow managed to agree to working 6 days a week full-time hours. I am exhausted.
This cup is tasty though. I have a feeling I won't restock this regularly once my current package is done. I do enjoy the toastiness, but I prefer other genmaicha-like teas. This one is more similar to LB than genmaicha for me, and LB wins hands down. Which reminds me, my Verdant LB preorder is finally out for delivery today.
wooohoo! htat seems late… my preorder was out like 6 days ago?
i'm sorry you're doing the 6 hour work week thing… i totally feel your pain.
I'll be feeling your pain in about a month…well…maybe not 6 days a week full time, but I am going back into the working world somewhat…sigh…I'm so spoiled…
I had no idea what to expect with this one. Part of my cringed at adding it to milk, but I wasn't sure why.
I just cracked open my matcha milk in it's mason jar and bizarrely enough it tastes just like something at Lush smells. It may be my "Honey I Washed The Kids" soap bar. Fascinating.
Not bad, but not something I need to stock.
My friend and I did a 5+2 order and decided to split 3 matchas we both wanted to try, but weren't sure we wanted 30g of a piece. This one one of them.
I made this one as my usual matcha milk. I threw it in the fridge to 'steep' yesterday afternoon and just thought to try it now. I had no idea what to expect here, since I'd never even heard of a butternut pie, much less tasted one. I was pleasantly surprised with the initial sips though. There is a definite buttery-ness, though not quite the same as French Butter Cookie, and a subtle nuttiness too. There is also a sweetness that is akin to squash with just a touch of brown sugar on top.
Definitely a great choice. I could see ordering this one myself in the future.
I have debating about doing an order and I don't know if I want to just buy what I know I like or if I want to keep trying new ones. I was thinking I would just stick with the ones I know I like but then reviews like this make trying new ones so appealing
Eep! Well, I did a 5+2 order myself and I only ended up truly loving 2 new ones. I'm personally just going to see if I can split ones I'm unsure of. I have two lists of matchas for trying – ones that the reviews are so great I'd consider 30g myself, or others that still have decent reviews, but not good enough to consider 30g myself.
Fair enough. All I know is I want Coconut and caramel but I haven't planned out the other ones I would get. I am debating pear and eggnog because they were pretty good in smoothies and are different than the creamier dessert type matchas I currently have but then I feel like there are others that would be fun to try.
This one tastes just like it says on the box. Peppermint, spearmint, and chocolate. The chocolate here tastes more dark than milk, and surprisingly with all the mint, it's not overwhelming for me. Interesting indeed. A nice cuppa to finish off a long day at work.
Thanks for sharing Dexter!
Thanks to Dexter for sending some awesome Harry Potter tea samples my way.
This one is pretty tasty, but ultimately too rich for me. The creaminess seems subtle at first, and really sneaks up to create the richness in addition to the apricot here. However, a real upside is that the black base I'm not a fan of from Adagio isn't really all that offensive or noticeable.
Thanks Dexter!

another morning is climbing to the window
you wake up slowly looking at the mirror
the night was empty even of your tears
afraid to sleep you'r hiding from your dreams
time will let you know
everyone grow's from the pain
if you let it go
you could be whole, once again
you feel he's there but cannot really see him
could swear he's laughing you could sear he's breathing
don't mean to cry don't wanna fall apart
they are all wrong you know it in your heart
time will let you know
everyone grow's from the pain
if you let it go
you could be whole, once again
the streets are crowded everybody's leaving
they never stop can never tell you'r grieving
and back at home the silence ring so load
he doesn't answer you have to scream it out
you'r never coming back i never see you
don't mean to be, i don't know why i miss you
time will let you know
everyone grow's from the pain
if you let him go
you could be whole,
you could have it all
once again

They were really helpful and they didn't push any services on me. They explained all of the work they did in a way I could understand.
Bruce is always honest, and they are very personal, they remember me even if I haven't been there in over a year. I had an issue with my transmission and they took a look at it but they didn't finish the work. I took it back to them and they finished the work and the only thing they charged me for was the part that needed replaced.
They are close to where I work and they get the work done in a timely manner.
I thought they were fair, they charged good prices for the work they did.
Every time I go in there they bend over backwards to help me out. They're very professional and courteous. They probably could have called earlier in the day to let me know my vehicle was ready, but maybe it slipped their mind. I would go back again. They're very professional and more than willing to help out, I've never had any problems.
They were courteous when I got there, they got my car back to me quickly and they seem to be very qualified.
They are very knowledgeable and quick to get me in and make any repairs that needed to be done. They were very fast and friendly and their price point is accurate, not over priced.
I really trust them and the expense is not the cheapest place but the job I really trust them. They are really professional.
They were knowledgeable, and service was done properly in efficient amount of time.
They have been servicing our vehicle for years and they always provide the best quality service. They are quick, honest people, timely, prices are pretty reasonable compared to others. They're awesome.
They treat me very very well. When I bring in a vehicle, they fix what is wrong, they don't upsell anything. They say maybe in a couple of minutes, treat you very well. They are very very trusting, like you go in for an oil change, they notice the brakes go bad, they don't change them right away. They'll tell you how long it will take before the next oil change to fix that.
