The CAFC Rules for Wider Application of Litigation Time Bar Against Filing of Inter Partes Reviews
On August 16, 2018, the Federal Circuit held that the one-year time bar under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) for initiating Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings challenging validity of a patent is triggered by service of a complaint, regardless of whether that complaint is later dismissed "without prejudice." Click-To-Call Technologies LP v. Ingenio Inc. et al., No. 2015-1242 (Fed. Cir. August 16, 2018). Even though the case was before a three-judge panel, the ruling on the time bar question was endorsed 10-2 by the Court, en banc, in a footnote.
The opinion in Click-To-Call is one of the first to review the application of § 315(b) following the recent holding in Wi-Fi One, LLC v. Broadcom Corp., 878 F.3d 1364, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (en banc) allowing for appeals of time bar determinations. Specifically, the Federal Circuit held that "the text of § 315(b) clearly and unmistakably considers only the date on which the petitioner, its privy, or a real party in interest was properly served with a complaint." Click-To-Call, No. 2015-1242, slip op. at 17. The Court reasoned that "a defendant served with a complaint as part of a civil action that is voluntarily dismissed without prejudice remains 'served' with the 'complaint,'" and, thus, remains subject to the time bar of § 315(b). Id., slip op. at 24. "It is impossible to square Wi-Fi One's 'cannot be rectified' and 'in no event' language with the possibility that subsequent events in the civil action might operate to 'nullify' service of the complaint for the purpose of § 315(b)'s time bar." Id., slip op. at 14.
Also of note is that the lawsuit triggering the time bar in the Click-To-Call case was filed in 2001 and voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in 2003—ten years prior to the America Invents Act (AIA) becoming effective. Thus, a lawsuit settled pre AIA could result in a bar to filing an IPR.
The opinion reverses prior holdings by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) that dismissal of an infringement lawsuit "without prejudice" did not trigger the one-year time bar. See, e.g., Universal Remote Control, Inc. v. Universal Electronics, Inc., IPR2013-00168, Paper 9, p. 6 (PTAB 2013) (citing Macauto U.S.A. v. BOS GmbH & KG, IPR2012-00004, Paper 18, pp. 15-16 (PTAB 2013)). The PTAB itself had relied on Federal Circuit precedent regarding the effect of dismissing a lawsuit without prejudice as leaving the parties "as though the action had never been brought…." See, e.g., Graves v. Principi, 294 F.3d 1350, 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2002) and Bonneville Associates, Ltd. Partnership v. Baram, 165 F.3d 1360, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 1999). The Court in Click-To-Call, however, distinguished these earlier cases as being inapplicable to the issue of the "clock-starting legal effect" of serving a civil court complaint relative to initiating an administrative proceeding. Click-To-Call, No. 2015-1242, slip op. at 5-9. Instead, the Court focused on the precise language in the statute, specifically that the one year time bar begins when the complaint for patent infringement is "served."

AK Rustic Photography, WC Student's Self-Made Business, Partners with Everyday Chic
AK Rustic Photography, started by Wilmington College student Amanda Kratzer, partnered with Everyday Chic Boutique in a seasonal photoshoot.
Amanda has studied Business Administration for two years. "I was at WC for a semester before realizing that the class schedule wasn't feasible as a mom of three kids, wife and starting a business. I still plan to go back to WC in the next year and focus on public relations to better my business."
Photography was left as a hobby for Amanda as she went to school for business and joined the Marine Corps active duty. It was when others started taking note of her photos and wanted her to take their family photos that she made it into a business.
"After a few senior and couple sessions, I realized that those session sessions were the ones that I got most excited about so I now specialize in them," shared Amanda.
Last fall, Amanda asked Everyday Chic Boutique to do a live Facebook video with AK Rustic Photography to show off the latest trends. This lead into a contact from Karli Harris, ECB's owner, to take a shoot of the spring line.
"Of course I jumped at the chance and it went so well that we plan to continue our business relationship through shooting their seasonal trends and ECB will be styling all of my girls for the 'senior model program' with an outfit that they can keep and potentially be featured on the ECB site with their stylized/fashion shoot."
Amanda will continue to expand her business by offering experiences such as this to "ensure that each senior that chooses to take the AKRP experience will feel pampered, stay excited and have a ton of fun throughout their sessions."
"My business is all about the clients experience and I'm always thinking of creative ways to show them how to make the most of their session while providing fun." – Amanda Kratzer
Amanda continued, "My business is all about the clients experience and I'm always thinking of creative ways to show them how to make the most of their session while providing fun."
College students interested in working with AK Rustic Photography are welcome to aid as an assistant during shoots or contact Amanda for guidance if they are interested in a client driven business of their own.
"What I offer to my clients is purely about the experience because that is what is going to set me apart from the other photographers."

Lookit me!
|Things like these always make me very, very happy.
And This.
Oh, and this.
Let's not forget this.
Wait. One more.
Thanks. I needed that.
But what I really need to know is who and what is going on at www.stumbleupon.com? My handy dandy tracker tells me that I am being stumbled upon . . . But I can't seem to track it down. Help? Anyone? Bueller?

I just checked out the stumble upon website and it looks really cool. I hope u figure out who is stumbleing upon u.
- Liz Wong said...
If you didn't figure out StumbleUpon yet, it's basically a toolbar that you download to your computer, and then when you are browsing, you can rate sites that you like, and review sites, and you can also have a network of friends so you can see what other people who share your interests like. Also, when you go to your own site, you can see what other people are saying about it. It's pretty cool! There's a good thread about it over at The Switchboards.
As always, I like your work!

Barrymore himself selected a 17-year-old unknown called Marian Marsh, who has died aged 93, mainly because she resembled his wife, Dolores Costello, once known as "the goddess of the silent screen". The transformation of the teenage Marsh, who had appeared in bit parts (sometimes uncredited) in five films, into a movie star mirrored the way the sinister, wild-eyed bearded hypnotist turned the virginal young artist's model into a great opera diva. "All Paris desired her, but Svengali owned her!" went the publicity line.
So successful was the film that Warner Bros decided to pair the petite doll-faced blonde Marsh and Barrymore again in The Mad Genius later that year. Barrymore, in a similar role, is a clubfooted puppeteer who raises a boy to become a great ballet dancer he himself could never be. Marsh is the ballerina with whom the young man falls in love, causing Barrymore to do his worst to break up the relationship.
Marsh went on to make dozens of films before retiring from acting in 1942, except for one appearance in the Schlitz Playhouse of Stars on television in 1957.
She was born Violet Ethelred Krauth in Trinidad, where her parents had started a chocolate factory. They moved to Boston when Violet was 10. When her older sister Jean got a Hollywood contract, Violet followed her and enrolled at Le Conte junior high school, then transferred to Hollywood high. In 1928, her sister wangled the budding beauty a screen test with Pathé Studios, who were building a stock company. Marsh recalled: "I waited for six hours before I received any attention. My makeup had to be done over and my hair dressed. When the big moment arrived, I was so tired, I really didn't care whether I stepped before the camera or not. The director, supervising the test, told me to cry - it was exactly what I wanted to do. I cried all over the place, and he thought it was great acting. I got the contract under the name of Marilyn Morgan."
When Pathe dropped her after only two months, she had two lines in the Eddie Cantor musical Whoopee!, and a bit part as a girl selling kisses in Howard Hughes's first world war flying drama Hell's Angels (both 1930). Warner Bros signed her, but insisted that she change her name so as not to be confused with the Broadway star Marilyn Miller. "We shortened Marilyn to Marian, and my mother came up with Marsh because she remembered Mae Marsh from silent pictures," Marsh said.
Immediately after her movies with John Barrymore, Warners cast her in Five Star Final (1931) as a young woman about to marry into high society when a cynical city editor (Edward G Robinson) reveals in his paper that her mother killed her lover 20 years previously. Marsh, still only 17, is splendid in the melodramatic climax when she threatens the editor with a gun. "Why did you kill my mother?" she screams.
There followed a number of "naughty" films from before the Hays Code, Hollywood's moral guidelines for movie making, in which Marsh is seduced by older men such as Warren William in Under Eighteen (1932). In one scene, when Marsh arrives at playboy William's penthouse, he says to her, "Take off your clothes and stay awhile." The fact that he is in the swimming pool at the time made it no less shocking. (She had a "nude scene" in Svengali, though it was a double wearing a body stocking.)
In 1934, having left Warners, Marsh made two light comedies in England: Love at Second Sight, with Claude Hulbert, and Over the Garden Wall, with Bobby Howes, and a drama in Germany, Luis Trenker's Der Verloren Sohn (The Lost Son) partly set in New York. Trenker, who made his name with the so-called Bergfilm (Mountain films), rather symbolic and didactic melodramas, plays a guide who falls in love with Marsh, an American girl he has rescued from death in the Alps.
In 1935, Marsh made two of her best films, The Black Room and Crime and Punishment. In the former, Marsh is the lovely heroine being wooed by evil Boris Karloff, disguised as his good twin brother. In Josef von Sternberg's version of the Dostoevsky novel, Marsh, lit in a Marlene Dietrich manner, plays Sonya, the angelic prostitute (though her profession remains unstated) who attempts to redeem Raskolnikov (Peter Lorre).
In 1938, after her marriage to stockbroker Albert P Scott, Marsh made a few brisk B films until she retired after House of Errors (1942), starring the once great silent film comic Harry Langdon.
Now a widow, she married Clifford Henderson in 1960, a property developer. Two years later, with her husband, who died in 1984, she founded a conservation group that organised volunteers to collect rubbish on vacant lots and other sites around Palm Desert in California, encouraged recycling and got city and county officials to include greenbelts, trees and shrubbery on their properties. She is survived by a son and daughter by her first marriage.

Athens – The "old" capital, the city of the cosmopolitan air, the history, the civilization.
Athens is the capital and the biggest city in Greece. It is one of the oldest cities of the world, with its registered history getting to 3200 BC. The city which gave birth to democracy, the sciences, the fine arts. The Athens of the ancient civilization – the Parthenon, the Acropolis, the Ancient Market. And at the same time, a contemporary metropolis, a hospitable capital, full of energy. One of the most charming things about Athens is its tense way of life. A city that never sleeps. The heritage of the classical era is still obvious in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, with the Parthenon being the finest. The latter is considered the brightening landmark of the ancient Western civilization. In the city, one can find numerous monuments of the Roman and the Byzantine times and a smaller number of Ottoman ones.
In Athens, there are two monuments of a world-wide legacy: UNESCO, the Acropolis and the medieval Convent of Daphni. These sights of a more modern era, which were erected after the city had been baptized the capital of the independent Greek state in 1834, comprise the Greek Parliament (19th century) and the Trilogy of Athens: the National Library, the University and the Academy. Athens hosted the first contemporary Olympic Games in 1896 and 108 years later it welcomed their comeback with the Summer Olympics in 2004. In Athens, one can see the National Archaeological Museum, which disposes of the biggest collection in the world of the ancient Greek antiquities, as well as the new Museum of the Acropolis.
Our beloved neighbourhoods
Plaka, just under the Acropolis, is one of the most known districts of Athens. It remains the privileged touristic destination, with taverns, live performances and street vendors. Neighbouring Monastiraki is also known for a range of small shops and markets, for its open market and the taverns.
The city of surprises welcomes you!

The Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Community Police Station in South Los Angeles reopened Friday morning, about four hours after the discovery of a suspicious device prompted the evacuation of the building, the second evacuation of a LAPD facility in less than 12 hours.
A bomb squad responded about 1:45 a.m. to the building at 7600 Broadway and examined the package before giving the all clear around 5:15 a.m., police said.
The bomb squad searched a red Honda Civic parked in front of the building and found a citronella candle inside, ABC7 reported.
About 7:30 p.m. Thursday an envelope containing a powdery substance was found in the mail room of LAPD headquarters at 100 W. First St. in downtown Los Angeles.
The building was evacuated and a HazMat unit was called and determined the substance was not harmful, police said. The evacuation order was lifted about 9:40 p.m.

Last night we created a sensational dinner and it was completely on a whim since we were rushing to a birthday party. We made salmon with mango blueberry salsa, steamed kale with tahini sauce and quinoa with onions.
Let me just say that I was shocked at all the flavors bursting in my mouth and I will be happy to leave the recipes below. ENJOY!
For two people I bought just under one pound of organic salmon fillet.
1/3 cup organic blueberries
1/3 cup peeled, diced organic mango
3 tbls diced organic yellow onion
2 tbls minced fresh organic cilantro
1 tbls fresh organic lime juice (cut one lime in half and use the juice)
½ tsp organic extra virgin olive oil
pinch of black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Combine the blueberries, mango, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl and crush lightly with a fork to release all the juices.
Use a baking pan (I like the glass Pyrex) and lightly coat it with the olive oil so the fish doesn't stick. I flipped the salmon over when I put it in the pan so that it gets coated with the remaining oil from the pan. Sprinkle the pepper on each fillet before adding the salsa. Then, continue to add the salsa on top of the fillets before putting it into the oven. When the oven is hot stick them in for 20-25 minutes and bake until the consistency is just how you like it.
While your making the salmon you can dice some more onion, which will be put into the quinoa. Since I have a tiny little kitchenette I like to use only one pan for the quinoa, which makes for a much easier clean up.
Follow the directions on the back of the quiona box but make sure to rinse it thoroughly first. I like to add a combination of organic vegetable broth mixed with water instead of only water.
First sauté the onions (amount is up to your liking – you can never really have too many sautéed onions.) Once the onions are soft add the broth-water mixture and the quinoa. Cover the pan and let it sit until all the liquid is evaporated make sure to mix well so the quinoa doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Kale with tahini sauce:
1 bunch of kale with the ends chopped off and the rest cut up.
Steam the kale for about 5-7 minutes check to make sure it doesn't start to wilt – you want it to be a bright green, vibrant color.
Tahini sauce:
3 cloves of chopped garlic
6 tsp olive oil
½ cup tahini
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp salt
1 lemon, juiced
pinch of black pepper
¼ cup of cilantro
½ cup cold water
Sauté the garlic with olive oil in a small pan until it starts to turn brown – about 2 minutes. Pour the garlic and oil into a food processor or blender and then add all other ingredients besides the cilantro. Mix everything until smooth and then add the cilantro and mix until finely chopped.
Pour the sauce into a bowl and dip the kale piece by piece. It's SO tasty – ENJOY it.
P.S. I forgot to take pictures of this amazing meal so I will have to post them when I make this again.
Have a fantastic dinner filled with flavor and lots of love
P.P.S. These recipes are always adaptable to your liking. If you don't like mango and blueberry try something else that seems appealing to you – although I know this recipe won't fail to taste amazing. Good luck!

Kuoni parent buys Journey Latin America
Kuoni parent DER Touristik UK has acquired Journey Latin America for an undisclosed sum.
DER, which also owns specialist brands Carrier, Kirker, CV Villas and Jules Verne, said it planned to retain the Journey Latin America brand and its existing Hammersmith offices.
CEO Derek Jones said: "We've already demonstrated that we're very good at nurturing specialist brands, creating a space for them within the group, and our plan with Journey Latin America is very similar.
"There are no immediate plans to make any structural changes. We'll take our time.
"It's a very well established and very authentic brand that was founded 38 years ago and we would look to add to it but in a careful and measured way."
He said the deal would give Journey Latin America additional distribution through Kuoni's 48 stores and through DER's B2B partnerships.
Journey Latin America's founders, Brian Williams and Chris Parrott, both in their 70s, are withdrawing from the business but managing director Sarah Bradley will stay on in the role reporting to Francis Torrilla, managing director of DER Touristik UK's specialist division.
Journey Latin America has around 50 staff selling luxury holidays to Central and South America.
Jones said its programme complements Kuoni's own operations in the region and there is 'very little overlap'.
He said DER was committed to 'identifying new opportunities, looking forward at the trends in travel and investing in acquiring businesses when we find something we know fits our vision'.

Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
The sky's all-embracing love tonight,
As Heaven's sparkling stars light,
Sweet moments in time for you and I,
Can you feel the love tonight?
Is love when another life begins,
A marvelous love story,
Living in our hearts will we then see,
Love exists eternally?
Will we feel in that instant Heaven's,
Touch of love overflowing,
Will you and I know when love truly,
Has begun and is growing?
I've been waiting and hoping for you,
Will love whisper sweetly those,
Precious and thrilling feelings over,
Me when you hand me a rose?
Roses are expressive in real love,
Overwhelming hearts of two,
Always unfolding life's preciousness,
Oh will we soon come in view?
Hoping for a love I'm wondering,
When the time comes will you too,
Want a forever kind of love and,
Will I know when I see you?
Will loving you be like another,
Life or a new beginning,
Will falling in love with you over,
And over be beguiling?
Because we've both waited a long time,
For true love to really be,
We'll enjoy every minute I know,
But will you want only me?
The sky's all-embracing love tonight,
As Heaven's sparkling stars light,
Sweet moments in time for you and I,
Can you feel the love tonight?

life's waves,
Seeing other floatation's moving onward,
Waiting to enter a port to be saved,
As the current of life moves you to a new
Unknown only to God who knows where it will end,
You ride the tide of life with all it's
Waiting for a calm sea and a destination to
come, Amen
R.C. Neale
You are Loved
May God reach down
and love you,
in His own special way.
May you know
you are loved,
each and every day.
May you see,
from God's dear eyes,
the value of your worth.
May His love show you
the most precious things
on this earth.

The Day Jesus Carried Me
It was a day unlike any other
The day Jesus carried me
I said a very special prayer
To help me in my need
When I could no longer cope
And Jesus must carry me
I had no one to count on
Or hold me to their hearts
I needed Jesus ' love
To comfort me with His Sacred Heart
For He always understands
And anoints me when He can
The day Jesus carried me
All my pain left my soul
He talks so lovingly
I begin to feel whole
How I love my Jesus
Who looks after me, day and night
I thank Him for staying close to me
And making miracles to make me right
The day Jesus carried me
Ever after I need
To pray a little prayer
Always keep me close to Him
For my Great Father really cares.

Do you remember me
The people's poet
God Bless You
If I could sing a song
It would be a song of cheer
That your joy would last all day
And God's blessings would be near.
If I could give you wings
As of the peaceful dove
I would pray for God to give you freedom
And to fill your heart with love.
If I could plant a flower garden
That would fill the earth
Each day I would send a fragrant bouquet
To represent to you of Jesus' worth.
If I could capture the blowing wind
And all the seeds that it scatters afar
I would ask God to send one to your heart
And let you shine as His star.
If I could but catch a snowflake
As it falls gently to the ground
And to distinguish its uniqueness
In you its likeness would be found.
If I could hold in my hand, sunshine
I would dry up all your tears
I would ask God to bless you
And to brighten all your years.
But I can not very well sing
My flower garden is planted yet small
I don't have the power to give wings
Nor to make someone's stature tall.
I can not capture the wind
Nor hold sunshine in my hand
Or distinguish the uniqueness
Of a snowflake in a winter wonderland.
But I can ask God to Bless you
And hold you gently by the hand
And to be with you and smile on you
Until we reach Heaven's Glory Land.

The Knight
I polished up the armor
But could not get the tarnish off
I guess I've gotten rusty
And broken from the falls
But my heart still rides a white horse
And my soul's still giving all
Trapped within my duty
Of standing in this hall
Still my times were glorious
With not a battle lost
Till I polished up the armor
And couldn't get the tarnish off
Now I'm just a relic
Just adding to the scene
And no one gets to know the history
Of the man this knight had been

*I am participating in a sponsored campaign hosted by Always Discreet®. I received I received free samples from P&G. All opinions stated are my own.
Have you ever laughed so hard that you peed your pants? Embarrassing right? Recently I have found that sneezing and/or exercising can cause the same thing to happen. It is not always controllable, and of course, these accidents seem to happen at the wrong time, every time.
The initial thought I had when this first happened to me was, "Everyone will be able to tell I'm wearing something". What I didn't know is that we have come a long way and there are now special products for this unwanted event.
As I mentioned above, there are downsides to growing older. But body changes are a natural part of being a woman and bladder leaks don't have to hold anyone back from the activities they love (gardening, exercising, etc.).
Always Discreet offers products for sensitive bladders, that are…well…discreet. Thank goodness! These products are fantastic in so many ways, but I love that that nobody will even know when they are being worn, and you will barely remember either.
Did you know that 1 in 3 women have a sensitive bladder, but research shows that only 1 in 7 are using the right protection? These women are using regular pads, etc., that are more for periods – and not designed specifically to handle bladder leaks. There IS a difference! One of my favorite features of Always Discreet are Soft Dual LeakGuard barriers™ (with the pads & underwear only), which offer incredible comfort and protection to help stop leaks at the leg, where they tend to happen most. Another great feature is that Always Discreet has a super absorbent core that turns liquid to gel in seconds.
Always Discreet offers liners, pads or underwear that are thin and comfortable. They are designed to absorb leaks and odors quickly (which makes it easy to be confident while wearing any of them). Since I don't have huge issues with bladder leakage (yet), the liners work perfectly for when I think I might have issues (especially when hanging out with some of my hilarious friends). Those "oopsie" moments don't seem quite so serious anymore. It is also a huge relief to know that when/if bladder leakage becomes a more frequent event, that I can count on Always Discreet to help me through those potentially embarrassing moments.
Leakage also happens sometimes while I am exercising, and the last thing I want to do is stop when I am really on a roll. I love that there is no need to worry when you no longer have to worry about laughing – now you can #LaughAllYouWant!
Always Discreet is brought to you by Always, the global leader in feminine care that's protected women for over 30 years. I know they really know women, and I cannot thank them enough for making life just a bit easier.
You can find Always Discreet in all major supermarkets, pharmacies and mass retail locations. Just look in the health or aisle. Don't forget to go to alwaysdiscreet.com to learn more and get a free sample (while supplies last). You might want to follow Always Discreet on Facebook to be the first to hear about new product offerings, discounts and more.

#1 Secret of How Thoughts become Things
#1 Secret of How Thoughts become things
By Douglas Vermeeren
We have all heard that Thoughts become things. This is true. They do become things. The question that most people struggle with is how do they do this? It is estimated that each day we have more than 70,000 unique thoughts. So what is it that controls our thoughts? How does our mind select which thoughts to develop and which thoughts to ignore? How do the prominent thoughts become things?
In order for thoughts to develop into reality they must be permitted to develop in the mind.
As they develop they grow and are built upon. If the spark of thought continues to grow action can result. Action will then bring that thought into reality.
Many of the thoughts that develop in the mind do not become a reality. We have all had thoughts that began as a brilliant burst of inspiration. Perhaps these ideas even got you excited for a few minutes, maybe an hour, a day or even a week… Then they faded away. Even though they started as powerful ideas they did not end up as a tangible reality in your life?
What happened? Where was the break down? How could an idea so bright and exciting turn dim or disappear altogether.
Even more frustrating are the ideas that do not disappear. They anchor themselves in the back or your mind, they cling to you waiting for the day that you may act upon them. These are probably the most painful ideas. You know in your heart that if you did something with these kinds of ideas they would really make a difference in your life.
Perhaps it's a business idea that you feel would make a lot of money. Or perhaps it's an idea or innovation that would make life easier for someone somewhere. Maybe an idea about someone you would like to have a relationship with? Or what you should do to improve the health of your own body? These are all common ideas that we are excited about, but we don't allow them to grow. They remain unfulfilled in our mind.
What is it that holds us back? What is it that keeps us from creating the reality we are thinking about?
Expectation & Belief
One of the most significant factors that determines our reality are our expectations.
What we expect dictates what we believe could happen.
What we believe could happen is the line that all thoughts must pass in order to become action. Taking action on a thought is the way it is translated into reality.
Expectations can include what we believe a specific outcome will be, but also what we believe we are entitled to and how we believe we should act in certain situations.
As expectations can often be based on past experience or pre-determined values often our expectations will cause our thinking to follow a similar course to what we have done in the past.
Expectations of outcome often guide our thoughts and our behavior to conform our new experience with a past situation. Here are a few examples of where we have experienced this:
- Meeting someone we didn't like the second time. (It is true that it's important to make a good first impression.) We've all had a time when we have met for a second time someone that rubbed us the wrong way when we met them at first. Based on the first interaction all visits that we may have with them in the future may be jaded.
- Physical characteristics – this idea of being jaded by someone can even follow to others who have a similar resemblance to the one who rubbed us the wrong way. I had an experience where I recognized that I became a friend with someone because he resembled someone I was already very close to. I didn't realize it until my wife said 'you know who your new friend reminds me of?" and then she pointed out the resemblance between my friends. Here's an interesting addition to this story, even though the new friend was rude, sarcastic and less than charming, I still try to think of him in positive ways because my expectations had been previously set by the first friend who was kind, loving, caring and a genuine friend.
- We also see expectations at work in the movies. If I said Tom Hanks is in a movie what kind of movie do you think you'd be going to watch? What if I said Ben stiller? Would you envision a different kind of film? And when you went to see it how would you feel if it didn't jive with your expectations? You'd be disappointed. In fact, Hollywood has seen a lot of movies over the years that didn't make it simply because they changed the formula, or constructed a story with an actor contrary to your expectations.
Entitlement is also an overlooked element of expectations. What you feel you are entitled to will dictate your thinking on certain matters.
There was a study conducted some years ago to determine the role that sacrifice or activity had on entitlement. The experiment involved two groups. One group was given a variety of tasks to complete and then after completing the work, was ushered into an empty room with a table and chair. On the table was an envelope with $50 bill and the words thank you written on the envelope.
The second group was simply ushered into the room. They had no work to do. The same envelope rested on the table.
The majority of people in the first group that had done the work felt that the envelope was left there for them and it was payment for their efforts. Most in the second group felt the envelope was meant for someone else and it was probably left there by mistake.
Work, sacrifice and effort give the mind a sense of entitlement.
The same can be seen in people that win the lottery. Countless studies have shown that many lottery winners end up with little or no money after a few years. I believe this has a lot to do with the principle of entitlement. Their mind did not believe that the reward was paid for and so it did not hold the value in their mind necessary to sustain it.
Entitlement is a mysterious thing. I often encounter people who feel that they have not yet paid the price to have what they want, to be who the really feel they should be, or have the relationships they deserve because they have not sacrificed what is required. This is a victim mentality and it keeps many from acquiring the reality they truly desire.
So a great question I would have is who determines the price you have to pay? That's right, in the end you do. And until you feel that you are truly worth the reward often times you can't bring it into your life. It's time to rethink things a bit.
The next expectations are expectations about how we believe we should act. I call this social expectation. I have seen many great examples of this. I will share two with you:
A friend of mine is a police officer who often arrives first on the scene after a car accident. Once when we talked about the power of social expectation he shared the story of an accident he was called to sort out. This accident could have been avoided if social expectation were not an issue. One lady had rear ended the back of a man's truck. It was a beautiful sunny day and the road conditions were ideal in every way.
As my friend pulled up in his squad car he expected it would simply be a case that the lady was not paying attention. To his surprise when he obtained the statement from the lady she said she saw the truck ahead of her, she wasn't caught off guard and she wasn't surprised. She just had no where to go.
What about switching lanes quickly or moving to one side to avoid the collision? She answered, well, I thought of that but wasn't really sure if that was allowed. And I didn't have time to make an appropriate signal of a lane change. Thank goodness no one was hurt. But the social expectation of staying in the lane is an example of something she had learned socially and what was expected of her in terms of signaling overuled her ability to avoid the collision.
The second experience I have seen at numerous seminars and motivational events. This lesson is often used by the speaker to teach people to think differently and to consider that there are often more direct routes than those we initially consider to solve a problem.
This is how the scenario plays out, the speaker typically takes a prize (I've even seen it done with $100 bill) and simply holds it up and asks "Who would like to have this prize?" Naturally a number of hands raise within the group. He asks again, "Who wants this prize?" Still more hands are raised in the group and often people begin to get a little excited. At this point the speaker asks again with more intensity in his voice, "Who wants the prize?" By this time the audience usually gets it and an audience member actually leaves their set and comes to claim the prize. Again this is a great example of social expectation.
Why won't we leave the seat instantly to claim the prize? We don't leave our seat to get the prize because we question ourselves. Is it the right thing to do? What will others think of me? Is it proper? We ask ourselves similar questions on a daily basis that and as a result we prevent ourselves from acting on the thoughts that will empower us most.
Am I allowed to be so bold in my thinking? Or I can think it, but is it proper to act on it? What will others think? And so on. All of these doubts extinguish powerful thinking. And even worse than this is the thought that 'things just aren't done that way.' Or there is a procedure that must be followed in order for it to be done right. In some cases this may be true, but often the very best ways are discovered by innovators who look for a better way than that which is considered traditional.
In a study of the most successful businesses and inventions of all time, you will find that the majority of these successes are innovations on existing ideas. I always get a smile when I hear that Thomas Edison is considered the greatest inventor of all time. It isn't true. Every major invention that he produced from the light bulb, to the phonograph to the motion picture camera is an innovation on a earlier effort by someone else. You can be an innovator too.
You don't have to think according to a set of imaginary rules.
Expectations are a great source of power as much as they can be a great obstacle to your success.
If we expect to fail we will not think in empowering ways. We do not dedicate action energy to created failing expectations a reality. That doesn't mean we don't dedicate thought to create negative expectations. we do that quite often. If we believe that expectation to be the coming reality, we will create it positive or negative.
If we want success and to create the life we really want we have got to expect it. When we expect to succeed, our thoughts become like a magnet directing all our energies to the success of the thought.
Just a few more thoughts on why expectation is important
The subconscious mind seeks to find solutions to challenges quickly and so it seeks for the most direct route to solutions in the thinking processes. The mind doesn't really care if the solution is positive or negative. It just wants an answer. When we are on "automatic" pilot, so to speak, our expectations guide thinking almost entirely.
Because our mind is always looking for immediate solutions we think and act from a reactive position. Essentially what our mind is doing is trying to protect us. It is constantly analyzing scenarios and situations to prevents us from experiencing harm or other things we may need to defend against.
So how can we build positive expectations?
Positive and empowering expectations must be build on purpose and ahead of time. They cannot be reactionary.
Why must they be planned ahead of time and how can that help?
In order to explain why it is important to plan ahead of time what you to expect let me address an important characteristic of how our mind remembers.
Let's try this together.
I am going to ask you to remember two things, notice which of the two things is easier.
1)What was the date that United States entered world War 2?
2)What did your first love look like?
If you are like most people you found the first question to be much harder than the second. Why is that? The first question dealt with the recall part of your memory. It was a cold hard fact your mind went searching for.
The second dealt with recognition. You probably also spent a lot more time thinking about the second question and you might even still be thinking about it now. emotion is attached more to recognition than recall. for those of you who are familiar with the 5 ways the brain learns this would be experiential learning versus factual learning.
What's the point? This is the point: It is a lot easier for your brain to recognize something than it is to recall it.
Back to how this effects expectations.
If you build your positive expectations clearly, carefully, and emotionally you will have greater power to recognize these expectations and when you are thinking in harmony with them. Your mind will begin to bring your thinking into a supportive position to these expectations and look for evidence to support your new expectations.
Your mind will also recognize what is not in harmony with your expectations and discard those thoughts.
Later in this course we will talk about how to build stronger expectations to overcome doubts that may exist within your subconscious mind.
But for now the important thing to remember is:
Expectation can be used in a positive way. Once we begin to expect things to occur in a way which is empowering to us our thoughts begin to direct our actions to follow that course.
What we expect, our thinking will support.
Expect good things and your thoughts will follow! If your thoughts follow you will begin to see the fruits of these expectations become a reality in your life.

Thinking and Wealth – How you think can make you rich! Part 1
Thinking and wealth
By Douglas Vermeeren
As I have conducted my research on the super successful and super wealthy I have found many clues that are fundamental in creating greater financial success. One that I will talk about in this post is simple but extremely profound. It comes down to appreciation. One of the major differences between those who are highly financially successful and those who are not comes down to appreciating their money.
No doubt there are some people there shaking their heads right now saying, 'this is silly, we all appreciate money." But do we?
Let me explain what I mean by appreciation. Most people think that appreciation simply means to have good feelings or gratitude towards a thing or situation. Maybe you appreciate something someone did for you or a gift someone gave you.
Appreciation is so much deeper than that, especially when it comes to looking at money. In fact, a great way to explain this might be to look at the opposite of appreciation – depreciation. This is a word we heard more often when it comes to things in the financial realm.
Most people say they appreciate their money, but they most of the time making purchases that depreciate. Therefore we may safely assume that most people really don't understand what it means to appreciate their money.
The dictionary defines appreciation as "understanding of the nature and quality of something." Most people don't truly understand the value of their money. Consumer research groups suggest that the average american household spends more than 96% of their income on purchases that immediately depreciate. While it is understandable that some items such as food, clothing and shelter are necessities, the same research indicates that much of the income is currently spent on entertainment. These expenditures have no appreciation value.
If you want to see your wealth increase dramatically you need to begin keep a more careful eye on your depreciation spending.
I am not against enjoying life and having a great time. But to receive great financial returns a small shift is required. My personal research into the lives of the world' most successful people demonstrates that by delaying immediate gratification and shifting the purchase mentality to appreciation great wealth can be created.
Purchases that appreciate, like investments, begin to place your money in a position where it works for you and grows by itself.
So the next time you are about to make purchases, even small ones, pause and consider the value of the purchase – Appreciative or depreciative. Set a goal to increase the amount of appreciative purchases you are making and you will find yourself moving towards greater financial freedom.

Does Meditation Increase stress?
Does Meditation Increase stress?
By Douglas Vermeeren
Often we hear regularly in our world that to think effectively we need to slow down and make our thoughts become still. We are told that as we learn techniques like mediation we will be able to become more in touch with our thoughts and they will become more productive. This is not entirely true.
While meditation has high value for your productive thinking processes it is only one kind or style of deliberate thought that our mind needs to cultivate for functioning at high levels.
In addition to mediative thinking there are two other productive thinking states I'd like to touch on, creative and constructive thinking. In the same way we bring out our different personalities in certain social settings, we also switch gears between different thinking styles depending on what a specific situation requires.
The Mediative Mode of Thinking – Mediative thinking is generally considered the kind of thinking that puts your mind at ease. While it can put a mind at ease research has demonstrated that it is not necessarily the mode of thinking that relieves the most stress. 1. In fact, research has demonstrated the opposite that often times when we are left to think on the problems of the moment they grow.
Example: A friend of mine who suffered a relationship breakdown and then a divorce confirmed that as she was left alone to think about what was going on it was near impossible to still her mind. In fact, the quiet moments often caused the intensity of her negative thinking to grow.
Depending on the current circumstances in your life mediation and being still is actually dangerous. (If you want to know where the true relief from stress comes, keep reading.)
Often those teaching mediation describe the most successful state of meditation is to think of nothing at all. It's a lot harder than it sounds. The mind is always on a quest to solve, sort, prepare and repair. Clear thoughts won't come until the mind has cleaned off the space to do so.
When the mind is clear and stable, meditation then becomes a very powerful tool. Mediation will allow us to reattach ourselves to the values, beliefs and feelings that are most important to us.
Meditation does have its place in building strong thinking. Generally this mode is also considered the recharge mode. It is where our empty cup is prepared to receive more. But if the cup is already full with significant problems it multiplies what is in the cup to overflowing.
When we are ready to receive more it comes most often through the next stage of deliberate thinking…
The Creative Mode of Thinking – When we are relaxed and feel safe, our mind begins to explore possibilities for our present and future. In a relaxed state our mind makes no judgements about what it is possible, it explores whatever it is drawn to. This is where much of our inspiration comes from. Creativity has a certain liberating energy about it that can lift an individual to new levels of satisfaction. Creative thinking is also employed every time we recognize a challenge or problem and begin to search for the solution in a spirit of hope. If we look at a problem in a negative way it becomes paralyzing and creative thought is stifled. All problems are in fact invitations to creativity. But the creativity only grows in an environment of hope.
Creation is our minds way of finding a path where there was nothing before and the method it uses to make sense of things which are otherwise disorganized.
All problems we encounter are really puzzles. Creativity is where we find the solutions.
When our mind becomes excited about creative possibilities it begins to look for a way to make them happen in real life…
The Constructive Mode of Thinking – The Constructive Mode of Thinking deals with the strategies, plans and organization to create the thoughts into reality. We begin to formulate the actions that will bring the thoughts into a tangible reality in our world.
The research demonstrates that this mode of thinking is in fact where most of our stress is relieved. As we get busy and engage our brain in tasks in the current moment our worries are put on pause. Our subconscious mind sorts them out while our conscious mind gets out of the way. The key to stress relieve or stilling the negative thinking in your mind is to get busy occupying your mind with a task that requires your thinking.
As we talk further about the process of how thoughts become things in the movie we will return to discuss more of this essential thinking mode.
Each of these modes is necessary. We can't expect to have results if we spend all of our time in the mediation mode any more than to expect results if we spent all our time in the creative mode. Each of these modes are necessary and each are interconnected. You cannot fill the cup with creativity, unless it has been prepared in meditation and it cannot be prepared in meditation unless it has been emptied out in constructive thinking.

Here's the 2nd official trailer for the upcoming film "How Thoughts Become Things."
Is your Brain sabotaging you?
How your brain makes decisions
By Douglas Vermeeren
Decision is the greatest moment on the path to achievement. If you want to have any degree of success in your life it will all come down to the smaller moments of decision. What you decide today is the hinge that dictate what doors will open for you in the future.
But how are those decisions made? While a comprehensive discussion of the decision process is beyond the scope of this brief blog post, let me share a few ideas from brain science that may be helpful.
The design of the brain is divided into three parts. Each of these parts is considered by experts to reflect evolutionary developments and as such the base or beginning parts have greater control over the later developments.
Your Reptilian Brain
This first brain is also considered the base or foundational brain. This part of the brain is also known as the brain stem, reactive brain or the reptilian brain. It got the name reptilian brain because it resembles the brain shape found in reptiles. This first brain governs all of the body function basics and a few other things. 1
When interacting with the outside world it seeks to answer the three F's of survival. Will it Fight with me? Is it Food? and can I Fornicate to reproduce with it? These three considerations are what has led to the survival of our species. While many experts suggest that there are several areas of the brain that process and deal with emotion, these basic instincts of survival at this stage of the brain are very emotionally charged. As a result this level of instinctive decision making is also very emotionally charged.
Just look at those about to fight, or those without food and certainly those who are sexually aroused and you will know what I mean when it comes to emotional charged individuals.
The Mammalian Brain
The second brain or next level of the brain is known as the Mammalian, social brain or limbic system. This part of the brain is where complex emotions are sorted out. It is also where we gain the skills to interact with others and the ability to operate as a community. A lot of our social learning and understanding of how to get along are developed in these areas of the brain.
The Cognitive Brain
Up until now the parts of the brain that we have talked about focus on survival, cooperation and emotions, with each level becoming more complex. This next stage of the brain is the first level that begins to separate emotion from logic and look at problems and thinking in analytical ways. This part of the brain enables us to reason and be objective.
Understanding these three parts of the brain gives us a keen insight into how decisions are made and maybe more importantly why some decisions don't stick in the long term.
When we make a decision we generally consider things in our cognitive brain. we explore the logic and the rational reasons for selecting a choice. Often we even weigh long term possibilities and try to plan for the best outcomes possible.
But then some strange happens…
We run into the daily events and distractions of life. I like what former Beatle, John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to us while we're making other plans."
That's where the decision crumbles.
Our brain sorts out our priorities and our moment by moment living decisions based on our immediate emotional response, not the long term view formed by our cognitive brain. Often these decisions happen subconsciously, meaning below our awareness. We just instinctively decide to do those things that have the most emotional charge to us. T.Harv Eker said it this way, "When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will almost always win." 2
I have also observed in my own life and in the lives of the top achievers that I have studied that this also happens in the conscious mind too. Often we let our emotional choices take precedence over the choices we logically know we want in the long run. It is all a function of the three brains.
In his groundbreaking book, 'Don't Eat the Marshmallow Yet,' Joachim de Posada reports on a study he did of this phenomenon with Standford University. While the book does not delve heavily into brain science it does identify one of the key lessons to creating lasting success is to learn how to delay gratification and control emotions in order to create successful outcomes.3
So how can we overcome our natural programming to select emotion first?
While there are many strategies that we discuss in some of the training we provide, I want to share one simple idea here.
We must make our cognitive decisions emotional meaningful. We must charge them to have as much value as possible if they are to stick and have precedence over the possible distractions in our day to day life.
One of the finest ways to do this is to carefully look at your major cognitive decisions and give them more meaning by answers the question of why you need the results of this decision in your life, what it will mean to you and your family.
And the larger and more significant, and of course, emotional you can make your decisions the more power they will have to stick in your life and the more power you will have to stay motivated to see them through.

Can a person actually change?
Can a person actually change?
By Douglas Vermeeren
Recently I had a friend express some concerns about some of the things that were going on in his relationship. He said it didn't really matter how much he tried that he continued the same patterns that were devastating his marriage and family life. After arguments he would feel so bad that he would indulge in alcoholic behavior that would inevitably make the situation worse.
This post is really to help him with a few thoughts I had since we chatted, but feel free to listen in.
Although each of our mothers has told us that it takes 'two to tangle' in a fight. I have seen from my experience in the martial arts that if one of those fighters changes the rules of the confrontation that often times the fight doesn't have to happen at all.
That's what this post is about is change.
After talking about a few strategies my friend had tried the question came, "Can a person really change?"
The answer is YES! In fact, change is always happening. The thing that is more impossible than change is to stay the same. Even if you argue that you face every day more or less the same way, the situations you face are not the same. Change is happening around you and you are being effected by it. The only choice you have with change is that you can choose to act instead of being acted upon.
The greatest tool that we have to create the life we want is our ability to choose. Your tomorrow doesn't have to look like your yesterday. You can make that choice. You've probably heard it said, that 'if at first you don't succeed, try again.' I prefer to say, 'If at first you don't succeed, remember nothing is the same as it was at first.'
Most people understand they have choice. The challenge most people experience is that they never invest the mental effort to decide what it is they really want. Therefore their choices and actions never create anything specific.
In the case of my friend, some of us do have ideas of what we want but we never really commit to those ideas until we run the risk of losing what we wanted. We then scurry in desperation to find bandaids to hold what we want in place before it disappears. We need to decide what we want and do something about it while it is still within our grasp.
If we are prepared to invest our efforts in what we want we will miss out.
Each day we make new choices, some of them work out really well, some we learn from and hopefully make better choices the next time.
But the only way we can grow into making better choices is to have a valuable destination in mind. It must be a destination that is important to us. We aren't ever willing to work for things which don't have meaning to us. When we have a valuable destination before us, then our brains can be convinced to get to work. (Convincing the brain can often be the hardest part. In the workshops, The Neuroscience of Success, I share a really great strategy that convinces the brain called 'The Council of 5'.)
Creating change is a system and process that involves the brain. That process is scientifically called neuroplasticity. Simply, stated neuroplasticity is the brains ability to rewire itself to accommodate developments or change in situations or experience. One neuroscientist put it simply this way, "Neurons that fire together, wire together." In other words, that which we devote our attention, practice and performance to creates new neural networks in our brain and certain tasks become easier.
Heber J. Grant said it this way, ""That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed, but our power to do so is increased."
So can positive changes happen? Can a person change their life? Can a person repair things that aren't working in their life? Absolutely.
So what about in a relationships that are experiencing difficulty? That can change too. But we must remember that both people involved have their freedom to choose. If both are committed, not through compulsion but through choice, there is the ability to repair and strengthen a broken relationship.
But change in a relationship is often like growing flowers, you can't get them to grow faster by pulling on them. It will take time and nurturing. There will still be bad days and difficult moments. That is where a firm commitment to that valuable destination is crucial. If the destination is truly valuable it must stay in focus even during these moments.
Change can happen in any aspect of a persons life and it can be the source of the greatest joys to come. We are not bound to be as we were. We have the power to choose and with that power can come the greatest possibilities.

Isaiah 53
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted.
He is despised and
Rejected of men
A man of sorrows H4341
Acquainted with grief H2483
He hath borne our griefs H2483
Carried our sorrows H4341
We did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted
He was wounded
For our transgressions,
For our iniquities
The chastisement of our peace
Was upon Him
With His bruise
We are healed
All we like sheep have gone astray
We have turned each to our own way
And the LORD has laid on Him
The iniquity
Of us all
He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought
as a lamb
to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD
to bruise him; H1792 (crushed)
he hath put him to grief: H2470
BDB Definition:
1) to be or become weak, be or become sick, be or become diseased, be or become grieved, be or become sorry
1a) (Qal) to be weak, be sick
1b) (Piel)
1b1) to be or become weak, feel weak
1b2) to become sick, become ill
1b3) to entreat, pray, beg
1c) (Niphal)
1c1) to make oneself sick
1c2) to be made sick
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Using the raw materials to make all kinds of buildings and mechanical structures is known as metal fabrication. The process happens through multiple stages including
- Cutting the raw materials
- Heating and burning the metal at high temperature
- Welding out the metal
- Machining
- Creating shapes out of the metals
- Bringing together the prepared pieces into an assembled structure
It is with this metal fabrication that the structures as light as the railings and as heavy as the machines can be comfortably made. The lightweight routine creations include cutlery while the heavier ones include the machines and vehicles. The technique is also used for hardware and electric appliances and accessories too. The processes of forging, stamping and casting also require custom metal fabrication Melbourne as the basic mechanism.
The intended users of metal find it a great process as in just one go they get all the services related to the metal less than one roof. There is no need to move from shop to shop acquiring the essentials. This saves time and energy both.
Metal fabrication is used in a number of work areas. The technique is used for rendering the tasks for the heavy industries and the everyday consumer products. The process uses raw materials like castings, formed metals, plated metals, flat metal, welding wire, expanded metal, fittings, and sectional metal. The places and workshops offering the services of the steel welding Melbourne use the professional expertise of the boilermakers, blacksmith, welders, iron makers and similar people who know how to transform metal into necessary metal forms. They perform the jobs of punching, cutting, as the line supervisors, machinists, cutters, brazers, solderers, and the operators.
The success of a number of industries rests on the performance of the metal fabrication industry. The core industries resting on the performance of the metal fabrication industry include that of the aerospace, energy industry, construction works and the automobile industry. The cost and the development of the materials also rest on the fluctuation of the economic status of the region.
Metal fabrication is highly mechanized now. The process that was carried out with simple tools has now become very sophisticatedly. The cutting devices are now replaced with the lasers and the plasma cutting. Most of the work in the metal fabrication workshops is carried out with the assistance of the highly developed equipment. This is a time saver and the energy saver. It renders the best services. With this development it has become possible to make the metal sheets that are far better than the ones created with the traditional methods.
