I hate to admit it, but I was Conned by Cheryl. However, she has finally conned the wrong guy. I own a reputable paralegal firm. Cheryl Hired us to assist her with negotiations with her vehicle.....She basically used us to stop her reposession and has stiffed us for the money. However to acheive this she had to get me so ticked off that it created a reason in her mind to not pay. I have already prepared my suit, I have 3 others she scammed, care to get a class action going? My firm could arrange it. Please let me know. I cannot stand people like cheryl.

SMALL firms across the county are hiring new staff at their fastest rate for 25 years, according to a survey.
UE Coffee Roasters, which supplies coffee and tea to Number 10 Downing Street, celebrity chef Rick Stein, and hotels and restaurants, has gone from eight to 11 employees in the past 12 months and plans to take on four more.
One of the new recruits is Barbora Krajcovicova, who joined the Witney-based company as a barista trainer this week. The 23-year-old from Kidlington ditched her job with a national coffee chain to join the smaller firm, where she will pass on the secret of a perfect latte to its 300-plus trade customers.
She said: "I prefer working for a small business as I can be more creative."
Dominic Boyett, co-founder and director of UE Coffee, which has a £1.2m turnover and includes the Jericho & Jeeves brand, believes it is small firms' flexibility that gives them the edge.
He said: "Because we are so adaptable it allows us to find niches in the market place, while big multi-nationals are not as flexible. We can be more pro-active in going out there to seek opportunities."
The findings by the Institute of Chartered Accountants and CBI are echoed by the Federation of Small Businesses, which revealed firms are five times more likely to be recruiting now than earlier this year.
Small businesses are defined as those with fewer than 50 employees.
Two other firms creating jobs are The Granite House in Bicester, and The StudyBed Company in Thame.

Move into private rented sector 'a natural step' for ALMOs
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Local Government
Move into private rented sector 'a natural step' for ALMOs
Two thirds of housing ALMOs plan to be working in the private rented sector by the end of the year, according to a report published today.
The National Federation of ALMOs 'Right Time Right Place' report says the move into market rent homes is a "natural step" for the sector and can help to drive up standards and address local housing need.
The private rented sector has grown in recent years, to a point where it is now larger than the social rented sector. This trend is set to continue over the next five years, with a predicated increase of at least one million more households.
According to the NFA report, around half of ALMOs currently work in the private rented sector, supplying services such as housing and tenancy management, repairs, gas servicing and community alarms and lifeline services.
It is anticipated that this number is expected to increase significantly throughout 2014, with more ALMOs developing services, and ambitious programmes such as deposit and licensing schemes and landlord accreditation.
Despite the growth of the sector, regulation has not kept pace and despite private rents being on average twice those of social housing, a third of privately rented homes are of poor quality with low levels of low energy efficiency.
Chloe Fletcher, NFA Policy Director, said: "ALMOs already have well established tried and tested relationships with their local authorities to deliver core housing services, so widening scope to include the private rented sector is a natural step.
"Standards in the private rented sector are highly variable and this is an issue that impacts on everyone in a community regardless of who owns or manages each property. This report highlights existing ALMO practice, and provides a wide range of examples from across the country."
'Right Time Right Place' is being launched at a one day best practice event in London today. For a full copy of the report, please visit the NFA website at www.almos.org.uk

Brilliant plugin - many thanks for all the time an effort that has gone into developing this great little tool.
Is there any way to limit the number of simultaneously uploaded images to just one? (similar to the "Drag & Drop Featured Image" plugin). Also, is it possible to change the metabox text to say "Drop file here" and the button text to just "Select file"?
A fix for the unexplained "0" character as mentioned by c.note would also be great.
Thanks again for this really useful plugin.

I'm battling Lyme Disease right now. I have no insurance. I've had Lyme for over 7 years and it was undiagnosed. I, along with many others are suffering at the hand of greed and corruption. However,I love and trust the Lord, Jesus with whatever lays before me. He is always faithful and just. Even if He chooses not to heal me, I will praise Him daily. He has given me a voice and I will surely use it to glorify Him and to help others who can't use theirs.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I've read reports on both sides under 'Al Collins' or 'Collins College' - four entries at the time, some even quipped with rebuttals and updates. Might be some more, but I haven't really investigated further than the first.
I guess it's really not needed other than to satisfy my own curiosity.
So, here's my story.
First, I will say it's true that you get what you put in. Motivation is key. Having done the school thing for four
years now, I've been up to the University level, the Community College level, and now, the 'Private' Trade-School level. I've worked hard to get where I am. Of them all though, I have to admit to being apalled with Al Collins.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone if it were the last school on Earth. :o) From the first day on, it's been a roller coaster ride of unpleasant surprises - if it weren't for those, I guess it'd be almost alright. And I mean what I say when I say from the first day: I remember it like it were yesterday; 'protesters' stood outside the gates of the school with signs held high.
Now, I've seen protesters at schools before, but usually they stood for something in the Human Rights category - you know...Affirmative Action, or Womens Rights or 'no more mugging people at the Circle K'. I saw one one time back in 1999 outside my dormatory Window in rural city University Pennsylvania that read: 'Go Home Saddam' - whatever the heck that meant. Or...whatever, you get the point. I've seen students angry at an administration. I even saw - almost participated in - a student strike. Heck, I've seen professors strike before, and -that- was no fun. But these guys were against the school itself. The school as a whole. All of it, not just a small measly part or one department. I'd never seen that before, nor with more passion than these folks.
Thats a very scary thing on your very first day, I wish I could fully convey that to you. I asked one of them on
the way in to the school itself, "Why?" Why were they protesting? They were protesting for the very same reason
I've decided to write up this complaint (one which no one will probably ever read, but hey, it makes me feel
better to vent): They felt cheated. Cheated out of both time and money - if you're anyone thats anyone, you know
that as you get older those two things are VERY precious.
Being young, on my own (with very little financial help
from home), working full time and going to school full time, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I get older! At the time, I had figured them to be a bunch of dropouts who were disgruntled over and under the fact.
That was my experience before, after all. After almost 18 months now, I almost envy them. Sadly, however, I'm a
very stubborn person and I'm certainly not a quitter. No offense to the protesters - they're probably better off
having dropped this place. I blame my stay here on myself (almost proudly). :o) About the protest, however, I said to myself that that was unusual; but, being young and out on my own for the first time, I figured hey, the world is made up like that; if you watch the news, read the paper, surf the 'net, you generally get to know a scam when you see one, right? The administration at least tried to cover themselves afterward. So I let it go.
18 months. If I recall the words of my Admissions Representative correctly (one of whom 'mysteriously' disappeared on my first day - no one would tell me where she went, not even my newly assigned Rep), she'd said that the program I was in was an 'accellerated 18 month program'. Unless you're going automotive or to some other
certification course, I don't think I'd recommend -any- accellerated proram to anyone. In my time here at Collins, my class core curriculum has changed innumerable times, and continues to change; classes that were up front are dropped, and those before are put ahead and those ahead just...disappear. Ones that everyone says 'is important' to understanding the field. And then, it changes again to a different tune a month later. But! That said, this isn't unheard of for Private or Trade Schools - I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for a summer course during high school in 1997, and many of students there have had the same complaints; What students I know are going to the Art Institute of Phoenix have said very much the same as well. So, okay. Can I forgive that? Sure.
18 months though. I look back; Hindsight is better than foresight. '18 months' is a semantic; We don't get 18
months of education. We just attend for 18 months - its like saying, okay. We'll enroll you to a four year
college, and you pay for it, but...we're only going to give you, lets say...two years worth. Its not that extreme, but I think you get the idea. And when I say that, I mean the full-time creditable hours - I don't expect to be at school 24/7 for those 4 years, right? All schools are like this :o) It shouldn't really be a complaint, and this is more just advice for something to watch out for if you're looking to go to a school. But the way it's laid out to us here at Collins is also a bit unfair in my humble opinion. You see, all of our classes here are structured on a five week basis, and during those weeks, you go four days out of the five, monday through thursday - Fridays you get off. Which is fine by me, I guess :o) When I went to University, I usually tried to schedule classes that way anyways. But, having just gotten through Christmas, its kind of odd...we got a couple of weeks off for Christmas and New Years, and the Thursday right after new years, January 2nd, we're slated to come into class.
One day of the whole week. That doesn't bother me. But what does bother me is that that one day counted as an entire week of our five weeks; Thats at /least/ three days I didn't get out of my 18 months - four days in my
next-to-final class too - time is money, they pound into our heads. Kids usually get to go home then - many are
from out of state. Are they going to fly back the day after New Years for five hours of school? I can tell you
personally, that the campus was desolate on the 2nd.
Alright. That said, in the industry, it works like that too. You might be required to work a holiday. Maybe not
even get paid for your extra hours and efforts. Maybe put in the hours, not for the money, not because your boss
says so (and he will, believe me), but because there's a deadline thats upcoming, or maybe even past. You gotta
show up, or it'll mean your job; you're an integral part of the machine. From there, it could be disaster if you
don't; no job, no money, the bills stack up and you run out of gas and food and then you die. Well. Okay, not that
drastic, but you get the picture, right? Its hard out there. But...This /isn't/ a job - this is our education.
When we get to go out there, when we finally get around to growing up (I'm 22, going to be 23 this year, woo!),
we're going to get to see family less and less. We're going to get to develop our own families - for those of us
who don't already have them. These...18 year olds, 19 year olds, they /need/ time with family...okay, nevermind.
Off the soapbox on that one, or else I'll go on forever about it. :o) Point is this: Tell us how it is, and then
let us live it after we graduate. Don't make it hard for us to get the education and the skills needed to get
there, especially when it's OUR money thats paying for it. Its an injustice that we shouldn't have to pay for.
A lot of good folks didn't make it this time around, because of that. And I say that like a defeated General who
lost his troops - friends even - in a battle lost.
Have I wasted eighteen months here? No. No, I haven't. I'm not done with Collins yet...I have a month to go; I'm
not quitting after all this time, after all this money. I have taken almost everything that I can from here. I'm
still debating perhaps fighting to get my money back. But I will say too, that I've been fortunate enough to have
gotten a few instructors worth their weight in gold; I don't blame them, or even the department or curriculum for
my misgivings. They're just people - just like my instructors and professors before (though, I /do/ wonder about
the student who graduated, then a few days later became an instructor - an instructor who has had -no- field
experience? Nice guy. But a few fries short of a happy meal, dig? Isn't that what a trade school is all about?
Experience from the field? Hey, I understand folks gotta survive, but even -I- wouldn't sink THAT low). I blame
the school, and its poorly set (money-mongering) administration.
I'm still fighting the financial assistance office. That little flimsy piece of paper that will represent a degree
in two months time? while it has Collins College written on it, it also means that I accomplished... well...
something, I'm sure. I endured. Will I tell anyone I graduated from Collins? Uh. No. Not no, but HELL no. If I get
rich and famous, the school doesn't deserve mention. I -will- credit the few instructors individually whom have
helped me gain the skills that I previously didn't though - they, on the other hand, DO deserve that. Outside of
that? I learned most of what I know on my own. By investing my time both at home, and in those labs.
While I haven't gotten my 'moneys worth' from this school, it /does/ boast half-decent technology and software
(This coming from a former computer lab student worker at both the University and Community College level - the
computers and software at Collins College IS hard to work with, don't get me wrong, but you have to consider that
hundreds of students are using those computers every day, and for what its worth - they keep them half-decently
upgraded and running - even in the field, you can expect them to crash and you can expect to lose your project the
day before a deadline :o), and we're welcome to use the labs post-graduation, according to the instructors and
department heads. Further, if you've read one of the other complaints under 'Collins College' about not being able
to 'touch' some of the newer courses, they're now allowing us to take the new courses previously unavailable to
those classes, again, post-graduation (such as 3D Max, and perhaps Lightwave if they get it) for free. We'll see
about that, maybe even do an update later on about how -that- goes. Does this make the school any better? No. I
still don't recommend it. :o)
Was it a mistake? For a choice in education, yes. As a life experience, no. But - thats me; I'm still young, I've
got the rest of my life ahead of me. For those bought into it later in their lives and feel that they've been
cheated, let me tell you to keep up hope and keep your chins high. Teach your children well :o) For those thinking
about it, stay clear. I will tell you that it was a waste of twenty-five thousand dollars (Thats $25,000 - in
loans, no less - a formidable amount; One could easily attend their community college or some small universities
for that much for a Four Year degree - having done the research, I could have, and probably should have).
On the schools reputation? Currently, I'm working for the Air Force as a civilian just outside of town, working
with Multimedia, computers - the whole schebang. I'm one of the lucky ones. Going back to the start, its about
motivation, its about going out and getting what you want. Heck, when I tell folks I get paid holidays, they smack
me in the face with a french fry. But, in joint, I also work with a community college here that's contracted out
and deals with Virtual Reality. It's really cool :o) The person I work with, Mary, is perhaps one of the most
talented folks I've ever had the pleasure of working with. However, she herself has employed and worked with a
number of students straight out of Collins College and has stated that she will never do so again; she had
misgivings about me until I told her my full background - having University as well as other educational
experience beforehand spoke loudly in my favor thereafter. Having asked a few other folks in the Valley, both
reputable and unreputable, they too have stated the same. Its an unspoken, under the table rule that they don't
hire from Collins College.
Probably because we whine too much. ;o)
But they also gave some advice that I think would be helpful to ANY prospective student for the future to ANY
college, university or post-educational institution (some are stated in the rebuttals and comments in other
follow-ups here in the 'Collins College' category):
o ALWAYS research the school you're looking to attend, most especially those who shovel out promises like candy.
Remember: A school's word is worth nothing verbally, I don't care what kind of school or what reputation it has or
if it comes down from the Top Dog, Dean of the University or President of the School (used to live by Princeton,
you know). I should have known that when I came here. If they promise it, if they /guarantee/ it, then get it in
writing (and that'll never happen, believe me :-> I've toyed with every system there is short of an Ivey-League
school). Get a signature to go with it from the said person if you can. Because if you're really cheated
afterwards, you can go back and sue them for lots of moola. If not, well. Its then your loss. Also ALWAYS research
what your field requires in order for you to get a job in that area. :o) Always know your market - that's a key to
success (and no, I didn't get that from some self-help book - thats personal experience).
o Let me tell you that if you're looking to go to a Trade School, chances are you don't need to go. If you have
to, then don't go for an Associates Degree. An Associate's is sort of like partial-circumcision. Either get
certified (ASE for you mechanics - that speaks endless words, N+ for you network folks just starting out), or go
for a full baccelureate's degree. Folks in the field I'm in (multimedia/Animation) will tell you that you don't
need a degree. Right now, I'm facing the possibility of never moving up in my position unless I /do/ have a BFA in
/something/. But, thats for the government. Outside of that, if you have skills, then yeah, definitely skip the
schooling; If you have skills in the area's you're looking at, you might be able to get a job straight off. Now, I
say that because right now, I'm also looking to get a job thats government /contracted/ - they'll /pay/ for the
entirety of my furthered education because of the field I'm in, possibly up to a Master's degree. Why get one of
those? Eh, I dunno. Because its FREE. Eh, aside from the time put in, but hey, I have lots of time. Be careful of
this too though, because they might require you to be employed by them for a number of years ;o)
o Always read the fine print. Never depend on an advisor or representative. Just like Car Dealerships and Military
Recruiters, they're salespeople. They'll do quite nearly anything short of illegal to get your money. Some might
even tell you the truth - but not the whole truth, and that can be just as dangerous. Research your financial
options too - there are a LOT of other ways to pay for school other than out-of-pocket or through loans. Loans are
helpful, but don't get them unless you need it - BEWARE of the Parent Plus loan! THAT is a true ripoff - I didn't
read, I got screwed. My parents too, who want to disown me over it (just kidding). :o) If a school offers that to
you, tell them to shove it - and I mean that. Any loan that requires you to pay while you're in school just isn't
a loan to me. Oh! And DON'T let them make you believe that because you're under 25 that thats the only loan you
can get. If they tell you that, you have NO business going to that school (Collins College told me this time and
time again). Its just plain BS. Check out http://www.fastweb.com first. A word about scholarships too - don't do
them online unless it specifically requires it :o) Print out the form, and snail-mail it, or if you can,
hand-deliver it.
In conclusion (finally, huh?), if you're out of high school and searching to further your education, don't do it
because your parents or anyone else tells you its the right thing to do (which it is, in my humble opinion, but
hey...). Do it for yourself. Build the drive, and then work and fight for it. Or else, you might just find
yourself with a degree thats meaningless. Learn to go to school for free - life gets easier that way. There are
tens of thousands of Scholarships out there for a hundred million different trades. Shoot for them. They're not
hard to get, and all you have to invest is time; what you get back is a lifetime's worth of help. Oh yeah. And
stay away from credit cards. Those things are ripoffs too. Evil ripoffs.
No matter what, school's going to be tough, good bad or indifferent. It'll suck rocks while you're attending
(you'll probably look back later, wave your hand dismissively and laugh while saying 'Nah, it was a breeze.' - but
thats going to be later). But if you do do it, keep your chin up and get it done. Remember life is learning;
there's no such thing as wasted time, just wasted money and sometimes wasted effort. In the end, they are right
when they say it is what you make of it.

1. Those complaining of student loans, You knew and were made aware of what you are signing it simply isn't fair to say "I should not have to pay X amount of dollars, because I don't feel i got my $ worth or, because I make X amount per year" (Would you be complaining if you did not complete a degree at community college or university, and were expected to pay back your dues?)
2. Those who have found Admissions reps to be unhelpful. My experiance with Collins College was, every staff member treated me with courtesy and respect. Was there one or two bad apples? That could happen in any buisness, and should not be an overall view of the school, or its curriculum
3. The teachers, no doubt there were a few rookie teachers in the school, however nearly any school is like that. Remember, they are there to teach you, if you lack any talent whatsoever, it is not their fault. They can only teach you photoshop, not make you good at it. I am seeing way too many complaints about the teachers, I did not have a single question they couldn't answer.
4. Some of you are complaining because you can't find a job. It is not their fault the economy is fairly poor. It is not fair to say "because I live in a small town and work as a grocery bagger, Collins College is too blame"
- If you lived in a larger community, had ties to better job leads, you may be employeed in the industry. Is it really their fault that many places have found you unemployeable?
5. Personally, I found their Job leads to be very helpful
Too many people have come on here, trying to give this school a bad name, all it does is make it worse for satisfied students to find jobs, if you are going to ruin their reputation, over legally binding contracts that you signed, You are upset because you are required to pay for classes YOU attended!
This school has been around since 1976, and I refuse to believe the allegations of racism, as I never saw anything like that in my 18 months there. I dont see how a school with such allogations would still be around after 25 years.
Please keep in mind, these few upset students are in the minority, No doubt in any school or buisness, you are going to run into a few unhappy campers in 25+ years. Think about the amount of students this school has graduated versus the amount coming on her complaining. Think about it, angry people complain and tell 30 people, or even post their anger on a website, satisfied people rarely tell anyone.
I hope these posts do not discourage anyone from further pursuiting an education at collins college.

Many diners offer a selection of different types of toast with their breakfast dishes. I recently ate breakfast at a diner that gave you a few options besides the usual choice of "white, wheat or sourdough." Their options included homemade blueberry and banana breads, as well as toast. These breads were moist, tender quick breads that were served in generous wedges, rather than the slices ... Read More »

Double Peanut Butter Quick Bread
I've had an extra bag of peanut butter chips sitting in my pantry, just waiting for a great recipe to go into. Peanut butter chips are a great way to infuse a little peanut butter into something like chocolate chip cookies, and they are also a good way to boost the peanut butter flavor in baked goods that already feature peanut butter without weighing down ...

Coffee Swirl Quick Bread
Coffee cake doesn't usually have coffee in it – but this easy to make Coffee Swirl Quick Bread could easily be termed a coffee cake because it makes coffee a featured flavor. The bread has both vanilla and coffee-flavored batters swirling together in one beautiful looking loaf. The color of the coffee is rich, so it almost makes you expect to get chocolate when you ...

Blueberry Swirl Bread
I often add fresh blueberries to quick breads and muffins when the berries are in season and have a lot of flavor, but blueberries in the off-season can sometimes be disappointing and not deliver the rich, jammy flavor that you want to get from a perfect blueberry. This Blueberry Swirl Bread is an easy to make quick bread that packs in a lot of blueberry ... Read More »
Chai-Spiced Pear Bread
Pears are one of my favorite fall/winter fruits. A perfectly ripe pear is juicy, sweet and just about irresistible (especially if you have some good cheese around to pair it with). Pears often get overlooked for baking purposes in favor of heartier fruits, like apples, because pears are quite delicate and don't hold up to baking as well as some other fruits do. That doesn't ...

Granola Quick Bread
Granola is a food that usually stands on its own, as a snack or as a breakfast cereal, but it can be a great addition to other recipes because even a very basic granola has a lot of flavor. Granola is usually made up of oats, fruit, nuts and seeds that are lightly sweetened and baked until they're crisp. Some variations include shredded coconut, crisp ... Read More »
Double Chocolate Chip Cranberry Bread
Fresh cranberries can be a great ingredient to work with, and not just when you want to make cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner.

People don't seem to reach for cranberries as often as blueberries, raspberries and other popular berries, ... Read More »

OverviewBriceljk (2346 m) is the highest peak of the Loška Stena array. Briceljk has two sides: the Bala/Bavšica Valley side where the standard ascent starts, and the Koritnica Valley side.
The most famous view of Loška Stena is the one you get while driving down from the Predel pass towards Log pod Mangartom and Bovec. Upon reaching the village of Strmec, the view of Loška Stena - and especially the view of the Briceljk northwest face is striking. Routes on the northwest face are the tallest of the group, and among the tallest in the Julian Alps. The drop to the village of Log pod Mangartom is 1700 m - the rock face reaching 1100 m.
Koritnica Valley Rock Wall
Since 1930 (Cesar-Comici) and until recently, ten routes were opened on the wall - some in winter. There are also a few alternates, as well as five ice lines on the pedestal. For beta, please check the External Links section below. The famous hunter's route (Lovska smer, II-III, 1000 m) has been used throughout the centuries, as well as an ascent as a descent. Note that "Lovska" is also listed among climbs on Oltarji. It starts on Oltarji and next plays with the gully, the rib and the upper chimneys on the outer right of the Briceljk northwest face.
Bala ValleyEven along the standard ascent, the Bala Valley side of Briceljk (the east face and the south face) is much less visible than the rock wall on Koritnica Valley side. In order to get a view of the Briceljk east face (SE), one needs to hike up the Bala valley a few hours towards the Čez Brežiče col, and for a better view of the south face, one must reach the Oltarji summit.
Getting There
Bala Valley : Bavšica Trailhead (alt. 710 m)
Koritnica Valley : Log pod Mangartom (alt. 650 m)
RouteThe standard ascent (Bala Valley) is an unmarked hunter's path that appears though in most maps. It is only recommended for hikers/scramblers well experienced with such paths. Cairns above tree line. If you are not experienced in path finding, consider appointing the services of a mountain guide.
From the Bavšica trailhead, follow the marked and secured path through the Bala Valley up to the hunter's lodge (1300 m, water).

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In October 2002 I signed a contract with Publish America agreeing to allow them to publish my novel. It was a mistake not to seek legal advice before signing but I liked what they had to say. Dragon's New Home was released May 2003, so I didn't expect much from the royalty check that August. The second check in February was also small. But the advertising and reviews I arranged had been just been released.
However, when the August 2004 check was even smaller after all the promotions, interviews and good reviews I received I began to question. I did some research and was able to prove I sold more books than I was paid for.
Publish America promotes itself as a traditional publisher, yet its business practices are more like a POD or vanity press. It denies it a Print on Demand, while claiming that POD is the future of publishing.
While traditional publishers do most of the marketing, PA authors are responsible for their own advertising, promotion, finding reviewers and for placing their books in brick and mortar stores. PA promotion is limited to having the author make out a list of friends and family, which PA uses to send out order forms. In addition Publish America's policies of paying at the time of the order and no return make it difficult for their author's to find placement.
Although they will list them on their online shops, independent bookstores and major chains refuse to stock their books because of both policies. PA also prefers and actively encourages their authors to buy their own books and resell them, which is contrary to most traditional publishers' policies. However it is financially beneficial for PA to do so; selling to the authors nets PA a minimum of 20% more per book. Even when an author does arrange for placement, PA makes ordering difficult and delays shipment.
Authors who ask questions are harassed and subject to personal attack. According to the contract, authors are entitled to a full accounting of royalties. However, it is not given at the time of payment and nor will PA sent the information. Instead authors are told they may view the information at their office in Maryland. To quote an email from PA, Let us know when you request to appear, with giving us at least seven business days notice, and we will give you directions at that time.
Many authors have questioned the accounting practices of PA; their questions have been ignored or dismissed as ignorance of the publishing business. The 30, 60, 90-day payment practice of traditional publishers does not apply to PA due to their immediate payment and no return policies. According to Ingram, their major distributor, they give PA a complete accounting of every book sold through them monthly.
By industry standards, PA editing is poorly done, the books are over priced, their art is amateurish and their business practices are questionable. They promote themselves as traditional, but what they are in fact is an author mill with an estimated 10,000 authors contracted to them. They treat their authors with contempt and do not support the books they publish.
I have three reasons for contacting you. I want Dragon's New Home to be released, all royalties to be paid, and other authors to be warned about Publish America's business practices. I believe you can help me with both goals.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

Michael Beasley follows his father John Beasley in becoming a TV-film character actor
Don't look now but Michael Beasley is carving out a film-television career rivaling that of his powerhouse father John Beasley (Rudy, The Apostle).
The nearly 20 feature and made-for-TV pics he's booked the last few years have him on the verge of being one of the industry's next breakout character actors.

It should be no surprise the author of languidly paced satirical novels (The Coffins of Little Hope) that delight in peculiar, piquant details should fashion a literary happening along the same lines.

Men's fashion is always a sporadically visited spot on Omaha's fashion map. It's an all- too- often perpetuated stereotype that men aren't supposed to be invested in their appearance unless they are heading to the office or the alter.

During the phone interview, employees are told that the compensation is a Base plus Salary. It was also told to candidates during the in-person interview. Once you become an employee it is revealed that it is really a draw. The draw is $30,000. 1 or 2 employees are making over $30,000. The kicker is you make 15% commission on a sale. You have to sell at least $200,000 to make up the draw. In most true sales positions if you sell that much you are making $60,000 with a true base.
As long as you make a few sales they will keep you around because the owner, that is from England and one of the worst people persons I ever met and two managers are actually reaping the benefits.
There are no fringe benefits. You are told that you have to get your own insurance and will be reimbursed $100 of the premium; I have never seen it happen.
The office environment is horrific. Old monitors, boxes of magazines collecting dust etc. They do not offer coffee, as most decent employers do.
Avvertisers are lied to about placement and distribution. They will start high with a price and drop and make it seem that it is urgent to go into the publications. DON'T FALL FOR THIER DECEPTIVE SELLING TACTICS. If you look for these magazines, the only one you can find is the PGA Tour. ADVERTISER DO NOT ADVERTISE IN THEIR PUBLICATIONS, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH. The office is full of magazines that are supposed to be shipped to the locations the salespeople are trained to lie about.
The owner and mananagement treats employees like crap by yelling at them in public. There is no respect.
The turnover is high. I calculated over 50% in a month. Most only stay a few weeks.

Boston Hannah preys on smaller businesses. They try and avoid the larger ones because they tend to have an advertising agency represent them. They know many smaller businesses will be intrigued by the opportunity to advertise in a magazine.
Take a look at their publications if they solicit you. The advertisers are small because the larger ones avoid them.
The sale people are trained to avoid advertising agencies because they know that the larger organizations can see through the ploy.

text: Posted November 2, 2012 In Japan they have some unisex bathrooms. These things are all about your life experiences. Some guys don't like using urinals and consider them barbaric. Some guys even sit when they urinate. It's a bit unfair to expect people to accept sudden changes in these niceties of life. To ask girls to use a restroom men do tomorrow would be a minor injustice. But if it gradually happened over decades there wouldn't be an issue. But in today's western societies we have a consistent problem where the rights of the minority exceed the rights of the majority. This is caused by the individuals in the minority being catered to and developing large egos. In a better society the minority would quietly suffer. If you're one person being inconvenienced, yes, that's unfortunate, but you have to be selfless and have humility. Expecting everyone else to suffer instead is incredibly selfish and arrogant.

New CB wants to end deflation yesterday.
Gotta love it. World gone mad.
I've been watching that reaction on FX markets. I just covered silver future contracts and several currency pairings for a nice profit. Applications for unemployment insurance payments rose less than expected in the week ended March 21, adding more signs to the recent recovery in the U.S. labor market. Interesting though, it was mostly a FX market call, not mentioned by many main/wall street economists This and the news on the Bank of Japan has and is putting pressure on the dollar. I mentioned the Bank of Japan and those thoughts a month ago, but I had been a bit early for that trade. The 1620 support for gold has been mentioned on FX a million times in the last couple of week. I do see it as support. There is a lot going on, from earnings to world conditions. I believe that silver is now a two edge sword, manipulation plays with dollar pair currencies is easy money. Now I'm trading biotech, should be sleeping. Been up another 28 hours.

The anthemic "Scars From Another Life" (from Hit Me Back) paints the picture of how far singer-songwriter Michael McDermott has come. His life full of myriad highest highs, gutter-skimming lows, and the absolute rock bottoms of the past two decades could read like a screenplay. Hit Me Back exudes McDermott's trademark embrace of faith and hope in the face of adversity. Working with producer CJ Eiriksson (producer of albums for U2 and Matchbox 20), Hit Me Back was recorded in a whirlwind eight days.
