![]() Today, we invite you to be part of our unfolding story as WISP Industries’ plan for the future is to take this elegant and simple system globally. What Eben did was recognize a need to reinvent the broom and dustpan – generations-old products that for centuries lacked any innovation.ĭobson’s life experiences led him to create the WISPsystem, a breakthrough alternative to broom and dustpan that eliminates back and knee pain. Where others saw the broom and dustpan as mundane, he did not. ![]() Driven by lifelong ambition, Eben turned the ordinary into the extraordinary. And certainly less aches and pains from the frustration of kneeling, stooping, and re-sweeping.įrom a simple golf etiquette tool was born a line of products. Products that work faster, easier, and more efficiently – with less time and energy spent. Its objective: Design products that reinvent the way we clean. And it cleaned virtually every surface.įrom Dobson’s inspiration, WISP Industries, Inc. The soft electrostatic polymer bristles proved magic at capturing dirt, dust, pet fur, even glass shards and other debris. It was the bristles! And it was the way it out-performed any broom/dustpan, vacuum, or mop. WISP was actually innovative – when the word innovative has become all but cliche. Approved! The competitive Dobson knew he was onto something when people kept “borrowing” his invention and taking it home. Eben advocated for USGA approval on the golf course. His first invention was a special hand-brush with unique bristles to clear debris from the golf green. And it could very well sweep the broom and dustpan into the dumpster. ![]() And his company? It’s disrupting the cleaning industry. They were sleek, lightweight, but strong. He never thought it would be namesake to products he’d one day create and a vibrant business he’d lead.Įben’s products were functionally pure and mechanically sound – like his golf swing. He was nicknamed “Wisp” by his golf buddies because San Diego native, Eben Dobson III was slight in stature yet had power to drive a golf ball over 300 yards. To offer thoughtful and practical products reducing people’s cleaning efforts and increasing their quality of life with family and pets. To revolutionize how you clean through common-sense, scientific based sweeping products which are faster, more efficient, and easier to use than generations-old broom and dustpan. ![]()

Open for bike path bikes for the East Shore Paved Trail and for Mountain Bikes and Shuttles for the Flume Trail and Tahoe Rim Trail. One of the best things about the rides on the Rim Trail is that it can be just as much fun for novices as it is for fat-tire vets. Just remember, it’s tough to keep your eyes on the trail with all those eye-popping views of the lake. Though not officially part of the Rim Trail itself, it’s the signature ride here, and it requires a decent climb and a bit of singletrack to get down. Nine miles (14 kilometers) in, you’ll split off onto the adjacent 22-mile (35-kilometer) Flume Trail, which starts at the Spooner Lake campground. In fact, the riding here is so sublime that the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) named the 21.8-mile (35-kilometer) section between Tahoe Meadows and Spooner Summit as one of its Epics, an honor bestowed on trails that epitomize the best that mountain biking has to offer.įor good reason: The trail takes in gritty climbs and fast descents with spectacular views of Tahoe to the west and the Nevada desert to the east. More than 80 miles (129 kilometers) of the trail are open to mountain bikes. Encircling the largest alpine lake in North America, the 165-mile (266-kilometer) Tahoe Rim Trail just may be the singletrack with the greatest view in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Keep the gravy warm - it’ll continue to thicken as it sits.

Gradually stir in the milk (and be sure to scrape in any browned bits from the bottom of the pan).Stir frequently, and cook off the raw taste of the flour for about 1 minute.

(If you phrase it differently you will upset fewer people.) I also prefer vanilla without the additional janky items and mechanics of overhauls. Of course it's not because the game is easy, but just because we know all the do's and don'ts after a bazaillion hours of play in this wonderful game. In general I agree with the first paragraph. Originally posted by Fruitopolis:I've looked at mods like Darkness Falls but I want something more vanilia, making this post to ask if anyone has an ideas on how to make the midgame and endgame more interesting and challenging. Right now, the game start is to beeline to the nearest city and trader, start doing quests and rapidly collect loot from the quest poi (reset to be looted twice each run) and the trader quest rewards.įor that matter, if I could, I'd turn traders right off in my game, workbenches too. I would also like to see the early game made much harder, and in particular cities made much, much more dangerous. Some "speed runners" even go immediately to the wasteland right now to skip as much gamestage gating as possible.īut it's not everyone's cup of tea sadly. in principle.īut a good chunk of 7D2D players would shoot themselves in the heads if you don't give them even the possibility to earn everything from the get go. The game is strong and the fact it is still in development is incredible but it could be so much more with some elegant, tested and inspired changes. Similarly there should be no motor vehicles until the very end as well. Guns as we know them should be impossible for the first two thirds of game play to either obtain or LOL craft. Players should start out in a very, very desolate natural setting with no access to traders and with a very long and dangerous path to get to them in order to encourage sitting tight, early game survival, skill development and familiarisation with AVOIDING zeds and wildlife. Originally posted by TruculentTonka:This speaks to what I was presenting as a proposition to lengthen the early game a year ago (or more?). A more compelling experience means fewer resources and better staggering of challenges and balancing of rewards/progression. What I am doing is providing a gamer's critique of the game to make it better not easier to program. This would require some reworking of natural environments (see The Forest, or other survival sims for inspiration-and to wit, I couldn't care less about whether or not the computing code is similar or not to that in 7DTD as that is FP's issue. The stepping in the early game is far too fast. This speaks to what I was presenting as a proposition to lengthen the early game a year ago (or more?). The Blood Moons are just there to give rithm and break the daily routine. This game is more about adventure, exploration, making your own story and creating your own stuff. If you want challenge go play some other game that specializes in PvP. I've looked at mods like Darkness Falls but I want something more vanilia, making this post to ask if anyone has an ideas on how to make the midgame and endgame more interesting and challenging. ![]() I've experimented with many builds and still have not found the game to be any challenging even before midgame. Originally posted by Fruitopolis:I'll say that I've played this game for a while, done most that's been done, however I find myself finding the game not challenging enough once I have a gun of any sort, I've tried limiting myself by doing no trader runs, but that ends up dragging the early game so much to the point where its not even fun, I've tried dabbled in mods such as Permadeath that make the game a more hardcore experience but overall it really isn't that much of a struggle unless you're only using a wooden club. ![]() ![]() ![]() Third-quarter GAAP EPS was $1.46 and third-quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.44.
