Best caravan I have stayed in for ages.

Everything great. Just a big cold in the mornings, even with all heating on
Absolutely fantastic, I cannot wait to return. It is perfect for a family holiday.
Had 3 issues with the van, no handle on fridge door, TV didn't work properly, both of these were dealt with promptly but the unit the TV was on was badly stained

Lots of rubbish and lollipop under bed when we arrived

Great Park, first impression of staff not that good as paid extra to arrive on a Sunday and
was told we don,t do Sunday arrivals, after checking and being told she was wrong, no apology and a smile would not have gone amiss. However for the rest of our stay the staff were really helpful. Great entertainment first class. Only downside was if your a bingo lover,people tend to reserve seats in the adult bar for this. Heaven knows how early you need to get there to get a seat, but don;t think one person should be allowed to sit at a table saving 4 seats for over an hour - still not the end of the world and I can live without Bingo

The caravan was comfortable. The only thing i would suggest , is that , a kingsize duvet for the double bed , would of been better, only because my partner is 6'1"

Black mould under all the mattresses. Ill fitting matted brown carpet. Front of fire continually falling off. Horrible smell inside caravan. Overflowing bin not emptied outside the van, so woken up by seagulls early on the first morning. Hated this holiday, and would never return.

text: HI. I have a wordpress blog that I haven't used in years. I keep it up for historical purposes. I am not going to use this blog anymore and I'm searching for ideas on how I can "freeze it" - to make it inaccessible to hackers. One concern I have is that if I "freeze" it, then it will no longer auto-update to the latest wordpress version. So.... perhaps freezing it isn't a good idea? Anyhow, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

So Disney will be taking over the Star Wars franchise and begin putting out new movies. The dust is settling and the directionless rage and incredible delight of nerds have both had time to run their course.
Like it or not, it's happening. So if you were part of the "directionless rage" camp, join me and consider channeling all of that energy into something productive. Think of it, friends. This is a rare opportunity; George Lucas is no longer overseeing all of the creative aspects to Star Wars.
Whenever these movies get made, there will be new writers and directors in addition to Lucas standing by. But talented writers and directors – something Star Wars hasn't seen in a while, HEYOOOO — could handle most of the movie. Holy $#!t, you guys. This could be incredible.
It could also be "Oh, my God!" terrible. It could be like that Clone Wars movie but every character is Jar-Jar and that offensive gay stereotype Hutt.
However, this also means that we now have more opportunities for more awesome Star Wars things; stuff we always wanted to see that never made it to the big screen. Whether they were ideas from the novels, games, or comics, just from our own heads, or even motifs from the older movies we want back, it could happen now. After discussing it with fellow Star Wars fans, we realized that this could be Disney's chance to give us things like:
Better Villains
Darth Vader was a classic villain. One of the first times you see him on screen, he is holding a dude by the throat, which he eventually crushes. He's a giant in a black suit and skull respirator with a fabulously low voice going around and choking bitches — even his own subordinates. Alright, especially his subordinates, which only makes it more evil.
Emperor Palpatine was also pretty delightfully evil, but we didn't get to see too much of him until the prequel trilogy. And even then he spent most of his time overacting or throwing lightning at people, which was kind of old hat by then. Still, the premise behind his infiltration of the highest levels of government, instigating a war and using that to take basically take over the galaxy is pretty damn evil, but it was a lot of paperwork and not a lot of karate.
We got some cool moves out of Darth Maul, but he was dead after having said about three sentences and was replaced by another old dude throwing lightning. General Grievous and Jango Fett also could have been a good evil cornerstone for the movies, but their badass exploits are pretty exclusively in the expanded universe. Instead, they went out in ways unbecoming of their deeper badassery.
We want more developed bad guys, and a good way to do it is with a better Empire. This movie is likely going to be post Return of the Jedi, the Empire is still probably going to be around because honestly, all the Rebels did was blow up their most expensive space station, take out some of the leaders, and kill a few battalions. The Empire stretched across the galaxy! They're still going to be there but if they're still behaving like the Empire that has become rife for pop culture mockery, they're still going to be a joke.
We want to see stormtroopers that can actually hit targets, officers that are concerned with more things than whether or not they're going to be force choked, and an all around greater sense of badassery and less paperwork. Give us stormtroopers ravaging villages under the direction of cold, tactical imperial officers with the Emperor's badass crimson guard as support. That or try and make some larger point with their ineptitude, like stormtroopers being such bad shots because they're all poor draftees from space slums.
Maybe they want to take it in a new direction, which they kind of did with galactic trading companies building robots or whatever, but the real draw to Star Wars is all about the struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. Another aspect that has been touched on in the expanded universe is the prevalence of a lot more Jedi and Sith in the galaxy. Way more than like, two or three. We're talking an army of people with red lightsabers, here; an army that could get into some pretty sweet battle royales. There were far more Jedi ever onscreen than Sith, and of the few Sith that showed up, only two got actual development.
Expanded Side Characters
Most of you are probably thinking about Boba Fett. Let's be real here. Fett's legend is in the expanded stories outside of the movies, because if you watch the movies you just see a guy in cool armor get accidentally killed by a blind guy. So what about his brethren, the Mandalorians? Imagine the possibility of seeing a ton of these dudes on screen. That's like, a billion Boba Fetts. They can walk a line, too, because they're kind of like human Predators in the sense that they just like killing people by an honor code. So they can be kickass bounty hunter or slightly creepy anti-hero, all apparently from the country of Space New Zealand.
But what is absolutely a must is more Wookiees. Like, way more. So many more. That scene in Revenge of the Sith doesn't count because that was roughly 30 seconds of Wookiee and that was THE WORST TEASE, George Lucas. I want that scene again, but for a full five minutes. Then I want to see a Wookiee actually rip a guy's arms off for beating it in chess.
More Ladies
I mean this in the sense that across six movies, there were about three ladies who had lines. Two were protagonists for three movies each, and one was Mon Mothma.
Leia and Amidala were actually kind of awesome. Leia was more of a badass than Luke in A New Hope and was also a senator. Her mother, Amidala, was queen of a planet that was blockaded by a robot army that she evaded and then came back to mess up and retake her world. Both actually decent role models for girls, as they combine active badassery with retaining positions of high prestige and power. But it's just those two. And they also do things like get captured a lot and be forced to wear metal bikins or strategically get their shirts ripped to show their abs while fighting giant cats.
Now, we here at the Man Cave are absolutely not against a metal bikini now and then, but good writing and well-developed characters are also important. Realistically there should be more than one woman for a given generation, and those two or more ladies should be given just as good of development as their predecessors.
More Sets and Costumes, Less CGI
Finally, it'd be nice if there were less green screens this time around. There was a lot that looked good, but even more that just looked fake and hokey. Green screens are pretty prevalent even in movies representing contemporary landscapes rather than futuristic places, but the Star Wars prequels would go so far as to fully animate characters with CGI, then not spend the money to make them awesome.
Let's get back to General Grievous. In the acclaimed animated Clone Wars shorts that aired back in 2003-2005 before Revenge of the Sith came out, he was a total badass. But that's because it cost less money to draw him being a total badass than it did to make him as such with CGI. By the time we see him on the big screen, he just stalks around coughing, then spins some lightsabers around and gets his hands chopped off before being unceremoniously shot to death. Obi-Wan was kinda mad about defeating him because he ended up having to do it by shooting him. That's how crappy that fight ended up, because it would have cost too much to CGI a really kickass lightsaber fight between them.
That's okay, you guys. I don't want to speak for everybody, but I feel like most of us are totally cool with you throwing makeup on a martial artist and then having a really kickass lightsaber fight. You don't need to animate an expensive robot, we're fine with people and easily costumed aliens. We'd just rather everything look a little less fake or end up being super anti-climactic. Though a caveat for this is that a CGI budget would be very well spent on some kickass force powers, throwing stormtroopers through walls and stuff like in The Force Unleashed game.
That said, Disney, you can probably do whatever you want and we'll still go see it. It's Star Wars, and we're beyond excited and we really just want it to be good. You'll still make a boatload of money regardless, but this is the opportunity to get a new generation hooked on the franchise and stick with it like we did, rather than just making a cash cow for kids who are interested in flashing lights. It'd be a long-term investment, but it would be worthwhile, because then our kids would introduce their kids to the series, thus ensuring your sci-fi dominance for a long, long time.
Patrick is a writer and comedian living in Chicago. He'd like to thank George Lucas for his childhood and also for the breadth of material for his nerdy creativity. He's got a Tumblr which very often uses Star Wars as a topic and you can follow him on Twitter @fatfraud.

Hablemos Press, Mario Echavarría Driggs, Havana, 17 August 2015 — "A painted old lady; they're painting her up so that Kerry and Pope can see how pretty Havana is," were the comments from Luciano, a newspaper vendor in Havana who was marketing his merchandise on the corner of Reina and Escobar, in the Centro Habana borough.
For some weeks now, various brigades associated with the state-run construction companies ECAL, SECONS and others that fall under the National Assembly of People's Power, have placed scaffolds along Simón Bolívar Avenue, which is popularly known by its pre-Revolution name, Calle Reina (Queen Street).
These platforms occupy the sidewalks and part of the street, and provide little or no protection to traffic and pedestrians. From high above, the workmen are painting—their paint and tools in hand—poised above a flimsy metal strip.

However, given your most recent rebuttal, I have decided to file a formal case with both agencies that will help me legally on Monday. I have collected my phone records, E-mails, and yes, the famous recorded phone call where a representative of your company did tell me that your company can "afford to be discriminating".
See you soon!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

You have twisted what I said, the consequences were what could happen to me not you.
It is great that you have a recorded conversation, it would definitely prove not to be me.
I know without a shadow of a doubt I never said any of the things you listed in your complaint.
I suppose this will never get resolved since this is only a complaint forum. I do feel bad that you have had some kind of bad experience, yet I still know that I, personally, did not do any of this.
Could you possibly give more information on this? At least one of the properties you left messages for and the date?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I have worked very hard taking the calls, and returning all calls I am given and those left on my phone, even if it means calling in the evening when I get home. I set the appointments for showings and talk to many people each day, from all walks of life. I have never used the phrase "market for renters" or "renters market" or any of the such, that is not the way I talk. I love working with people and being professional is important to me. To discriminate, as this complaint states, goes against everything that I have ever stood for, even before getting my license. This complaint goes way beyond a customer service complaint against a company. It carries some serious legal consequences that could cause my license to be suspended and fines imposed.
I am a single parent myself, and have been for some time, so saying we won't rent to a single female or a single income home is nonsense. The complaint about "having a man around to fix things" is also false.I live with family and one makes his living doing repairs for the tenants of RPM so that would be taking income away from our household.
I do not know which property you had inquired about (you chose not to include it, which might shed light on the situation) and what the actual facts surrounding your issue are, yet these statements are pretty inflammatory and can lead to some very serious consequences for someone else. It is great to have a place to voice complaints about companies to help consumers, yet I think those that do, need to be careful to not embellish the facts with perhaps their feelings or frustration at the company.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

However; they have these BookSearch Plus books which are not supposedly member edition books towards your membership fulfillment. This is not clearly disclosed when you order a book or review books on their site. As a matter of fact, it shows "mem edition" with a price next to it. So you are led to believe these are books that would fulfill your membership obligation. No where next to any of these so called BookSearch Plus books is the word BookSearch Plus book mentioned.
According to their policy #3 ( posted below this thread) I should " not " have received the free shipping option as that was a promotion valid through May 30th 2011 only and would exclude the BookSearch Plus items. As per the order and email receipt that I received ,no shipping costs were added to the total and no mention of the BookSearch Plus item.
If this is a BookSearch Plus item at the time of purchase, shipping costs "would" probably have been added to the total for that item since this order was placed in response to an email promotion and BookSearch plus items are excluded from online promotions. So by making this single book a BookSearch Plus book, they gave me the free shipping but then this book does not mean I have fulfilled my membership obligation. I wonder how often they do this to customers?
At the time period I purchased the book in question I do not believe it was BookSearch Plus item based on my ability to make the purchase without having to pay shipping costs. This seems to be in accordance with their policy of #3 where BookSearch Plus items are not included in the on-line promotion or sale.
Literary Guild Policy: #3
3) If the book club is running a special promotion that you wish to take
advantage of by placing an order on-line, BookSearch PLUS items will not
be included in the on-line promotion or sale that the book club web site
is hosting during that time period.
I told them to cancel that book and they said they could not, even though it is a back ordered item. They just gave me information on how to return it.
This is a reflection of their customer service, which is very poor. Rather than keep a happy customer and simply cancel that book shipment and let me choose another, they would prefer to lose a customer. Not sure I trust them if I were to return a book if it would be properly credited to my account so I might just keep the book that I don't want.
Either way, their response was not rude but they made no attempt to work with me to fix this issue. Very poor customer service and I want to let others know about this.

Yes, I've been MIA (missing in action) for several months on this blog, but it's time to resurrect this place and bring it back to life. There's been so much going on with me (personally and professionally) that other projects have taken up the bulk of my time. Unintentionally, this has caused my blog to fall on the back burner.
I'm trying to live the motto, "Work Smarter Not Harder." Therefore, resurrecting this blog means only one thing: I'll show up more than usual. However, "more than usual" doesn't mean more frequently.
The scheduling for these blog posts will be on an as-needed basis whenever information (or inspiration) arises that I'll want to share.
Currently, I'm working on several things and hoping to finish them sooner more than later—my next two novels being among them.
In the meantime, you can interact with me more frequently on my Facebook Author Page, or on Twitter. I seem to be in those places more than I'm here on this blog. Mostly because I can post stuff there more quickly instead of having to write full blog articles.
You can also join my mailing list for author news updates, information, and freebies. Your email won't be bombarded by joining because I only send out updates a few times a year.
Catch ya soon!
Savor Your Accomplishments
I've accomplished a lot in my years on this earth, but rarely do I ever take time to savor those accomplishments.
As a toddler I learned how to walk and how not to pee in the bed. As a kid I learned to roller skate, go fishing, play the piano, and French braid my hair. As a teenager I learned to drive, kiss boys, use a sewing machine, become an avid reader, and write a lot of poetry. As an adult I worked various jobs, received a college degree, created a career, received a marriage license, given birth to children, bought a home, and published a novel. And that's just the short list.
We all have huge lists of accomplishments that have shaped our lives, yet we forget to honor them. We don't take time to bask in the glow of them or be in harmony with what they've taught us or how far they've brought us. So this past weekend I took time to bask in the knowledge of who I am, why I am, and how far I've come. To savor those things that have helped me become…me.
I think we all know life is just a string of events and accomplishments, mixed with highs, lows, twists, turns, and amazing detours. Yes, sometimes we get stalled and can't seem to move and other times we are moving but feel kind of stalled. But did you ever consider that sometimes, maybe, we should just be still and savor what we've accomplished—from birth to now. Give honor to all the nuts and bolts that built us into the magnificent people we've become.
It's often said we're so focused on trying to get to where we're going that we don't appreciate where we are or where we've been. Well, I'm here to say I appreciate where I am, even though sometimes (most times) I'm anxious to get to where I'm going. And from now on I'll try to honor my accomplishments by savoring where I've been.
January Has No Power (re-post)
It's the New Year and everyone's revved up about new changes for the year ahead. We're setting new goals, burying old habits, creating new pathways, and building better futures. The month of January (particularly January 1st) inspires in us a sense of revival and renewal, which makes us feel we can conquer the world (or at least the forthcoming year). Yet there's only one problem.
There's an oversight we fail to see in January that becomes vividly clear to us in February, March, and so on. That oversight is this…
"God doesn't alter His plans in our lives just because January comes around."
That's why come February, March, and so on; our goals, resolutions, and well-laid-out plans start to fade, or fall by the wayside. The blistery winds of life blow us back into reality. And the reality is, whatever season of life we're experiencing is ours to "grow" through. It can't be altered, dismissed, or placed on hold. It's here for our good, though sometimes it doesn't feel so good.
Waving our magic wands in January doesn't change the status of God's plan in motion. Though there's nothing wrong with allowing the New Year to inspire us to set new goals, make resolutions, or bury old habits. We should always motivate ourselves to be the best we can be. However, the key is not to get caught up or be totally reliant upon our self-made plans. There's a higher plan in motion, which takes precedence over anything we can conjure up for ourselves.
Therefore, instead of putting all our eggs in the January basket only to fall flat on our faces come February; we should allow the year to unfold for us the growth and achievements which God has intended.
NOTE: This is a re-post of one of my favorite blog posts I've written. It's a much needed reminder for me (and hopefully for you) whenever January comes around.

You can rotate the artboard in the Document setup but the art will not rotate.
Art and the artboard are separate and you can not rotate both at the same time.
I design packaging and have often found myself wishing there was a way to rotate the entire viewfinder...
It would be much more convenient for me to be able to rotate my view to work on the 90º rotated side panel of a box rather than unlocking everything, potentially breaking guides, expanding effects, etc... If it's not built into illustrator, is there a plugin out there?
You can rotate the artboard in the Document setup but the art will not rotate.
Art and the artboard are separate and you can not rotate both at the same time.
How about rigging your monitor up to a series of ropes and pulleys so you can easily rotate it left or right or upside down?
But seriously, you might consider a workflow where you maintain separate files for flaps that you can work on with out getting a sore neck, then link-place them to the overall layout for the box and rotate them to whatever angle you desire. That way if the same edits are needed on more than one flap that involves the same flap-art, this will save some edit time too.
Rotate View (a la Acrobat) has been requested in the Feature Request Forum. Let's hope it's in CS3 :/
I'll cross my fingers but not hold my breath for it to be included in CS3... It seems to me to be a pretty obvious funtionality to be included, but maybe not everyone agrees. I suppose there is some potential for it to be confusing with the x and y axes swapped or upside-down or whatever, but it would sure beat having to keep separate files which would be a bit of a burden working on some of the more complicated stuff we do here...
Ropes and pulleys it is.
Thanks all.
An additional technique you might try:
1. Design (right-side-up) the flap that needs to be upside-down in the final layout.
2. Select it all and drag it to the Symbols Palette.
3. Now drag it off the artboard and leave it just beyond, on the pasteboard.
4. Drag an instance of the Symbol into position on the artboard. Rotate it 180 degrees.
Now, suppose you need to work further on the design of the upside-down flap:
5. Modifiy the flap artwork you dragged off to the side of the artboard. When done, AltDrag it to the Symbols palette and drop it right onto the Symbol you already put there. The upside-down Symbol Instance on the artboard will update accordingly.
6. When done with the design, go ahead and delete the right-side-up artwork that is on the pasteboard. It is still contained in the AI file; it's in the Symbol. If you ever need to "get it back", simply drag an Instance of the Symbol onto the document, leave it selected, and then choose Break Link To Symbol from the Symbol Palette's flyout menu.
Now we're talkin... I've been meaning to get to know symbols. That sounds like it will work perfectly.
Thanks for the suggestion!
but don't use symbols within that panel symbol in CS2. That is broken in CS 2, but works fine in CS 1.

Easter tourists flock to Cardwell
Tourism operators in Cardwell say they are encouraged by strong visitor numbers to the region over the Easter break.
Amelia Slade from the Cardwell Rainforest and Reef Information Centre says while the town is only operating at half capacity, some accommodation houses have had to turn visitors away.
She says it is a promising sign for the community.
"It was very encouraging, it is always known as one of the busiest times in Cardwell anyway, so it was quite positive to see that many people in Cardwell," she said.
"I think a lot of people were expecting it to be a very, very, quiet Easter - I'm hoping it's proved to be wrong."

Steven Naismith, on his 27th birthday, scored the only goal seconds before half-time at Goodison Park and despite Chelsea creating a number of opportunities prior and after they could not find a way through.
Experienced forward Samuel Eto'o had a debut to forget as he missed a couple of chances and was denied a certain goal by a last-ditch tackle from the excellent Gareth Barry, also making his first appearance having joined on loan from Manchester City.
"We didn't score goals. We had chances and chances but we didn't score," said Mourinho.
"If you don't score, what you create means nothing. It is a simple story. Artistic football without goals is not good.
"This was the game when we had 21 shots, nine attempts on target and well before they scored the goal we had easy chances to score.
"I don't think it is a question of sharpness. If the ball to Eto'o from (Andre) Schurrle is sent as a slow pass and Eto'o waits for the ball Barry has time to come.
"If it is a fast ball Eto'o scores with an open goal - I don't think this defeat is about sharpness.
"Perhaps there was not the killer instinct: one chance, one goal. Maybe one day we will have three chances and score three goals and win 3-0."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was hired on about 2 years ago after two interviews at the glenview office. I was semi happy to start, even though I actually had no idea what the job was about. During the interview with two of the managers they explained very little about the job and talked more about what they expected out of me. Being that I had gotten laid off from my previous job and I was running out of unemployment benefits, I took the job because they were the closest offer to what I needed to just barely sneak by with my bills (they offered me just over 30,000 per year for this position). I started a MONTH after i was officially hired, which was so odd..but anyway, and when I started I was introduced to the other 'recruiters', in total there was about 22 of us to start. by the time i quit (and about five people quit within the same month as me) there was probably 7 recruiters left. yeah pretty sad.
During the first two days of employment, I was basically given a training 'booklet' with a script and was told to read and practice what i was going to say to the people who I would be contacting. It was then that I realized my job would be to look up people's resume's online OR to 'email blast' which is basically the term that describes those random emails that everyone gets when they post their resume online (it will say something like..oh i read your resume on careerbuilder or monster and wanted to contact you about an open position that we have at our company...just an fyi WE DON'T READ YOUR RESUMES).
I would mostly be making outbound calls to people to proactively seek out people who were looking for employment(this is called 'cold calling' and i HATED it), but because of the email blasts I would also be responding to emails and phone calls of people who read the blast and were interested.
They gave me 2 days of practice and after that I was off and running on my own, aka I had no real training. Over the next year and a half I will say that the senior recruiters (our managers) finally had to step it up and actually do some work after the company realized that they were paying these people a lot for doing nothing, so a couple of them did work on developing some training programs for the new hires.
In the beginning, my manager managed me AND a girl who was working remotely from michigan (one of the things I will say is that I made some great friends and she is one of them). She was very helpful because my manager was NEVER around, and she kind of showed me the ropes on how this job was supposed to be performed. As I gained experience, I figured out a system that worked best for me and eventually I was sent around to work with 3 different managers and covered a 'territory' of FIVE states. That means that I was trying to get at least 30 people to show up to seminars a week. A WEEK. and this of course was always a 'goal' but man would they get on ur butt if you didn't get that 30!!! they tried to use incentives to get us to make certain numbers but after a while most of us really didnt even care because it was so hard to even set up 10 people for ONE seminar. after a while, we felt like we had literally talked to everyone and emailed every resume in the country that we could. That's when the accusations started to fly and the 20 million meetings a week were had because for SOME reason we were the ones that were blamed for the problems in the company..yeah WE were blamed...not their managers, or their sh*tty sales strategies or their inconsistencies but US..the recruiters...weee were the problem. so stupid.
This is probably the part that most of you are going to be interested in. The recruiting process. During any given week, I was given a list of about 10 different locations that my MDs would be interviewing at. Most of the time their preferred method of interview was what they liked to call a 'seminar' but in reality it was basically a hotel conference room, or even a hotel lobby, where they would give a presentation about the company and hopefully people would be interested enough to sign up for sales school.
The first gripe I have is with the MDs (market directors) I worked with. These guys were in charge of hiring the new sales people and giving the presentations at the seminars. these are the ones that most of these ripoff reports are about. I had a COUPLE nice and responsible MDs, but for the most part they had NO respect for me and what I did for them. Most of my MDs would let me know the day BEFORE or 2 days beforehand where they would be going to interview, so I would have to scramble to find 2-3 interested people and they would complain to me as if I was the one who wasn't doing my job correctly. OH and my divisional manager (the market director's boss) he was about 90 years old and did not even own a computer!! so he had no idea what was going on half the time and the other half he would go and talk the MDs into doing their job for about a week and then the MDs would go back to doing whatever it is they did (nothing) after he was gone.
ONE of them...he covers a certain state in the southeast (north carolina...maybe.. =-)), he was THE most irresponsible p***k i have ever met in my life. he would consistently not show up to interviews i set up for him and then make EXCUSES as to why he didnt show and try to turn it around on me like it was my fault!! one time i got so sick of it i had the hotel receptionist send the people over to the hotel that he was STAYING at because like 10 people showed up and he just didnt leave his hotel room! how irresponsible. The company stood behind HIM though because he was like the number 3 salesman in the country or something, but TRUST me i chewed his a** OUT. I am from chicago and people here have the respect enough to show up for interviews when theyre supposed to especially when THEY are the one running the interview!!! sorry, but i dont care WHAT kind of sales he does he is a jerk and he knows it.
Anyway, so these MDs would give me their lists of where they would be going to and MY job was to fill them with interested 'candidates' aka ANYONE who would show up to the interview. They USED to have it where it would count against me if people didn't show, but finally they realized that there was nothing i could do to make sure people would show up so they stopped griping about that. I would send out about 2500 emails a week on monster and careerbuilder and called the people that responded to the ad.
My script was edited a million times to where I just stopped using it and just started talking to people. I never purposely lied about what the job entailed and I focused on looking for people who were already in the sales or insurance field, but sometimes I would be lucky enough to talk someone into showing up who was just interested in doing something different. This is not to say that all the other recruiters and managers did the job like i did. Trust me I got in trouble A LOT for not filling my seminars up as much as other people did. Others would get 10 people to show up to a seminar, but maybe one or two would get hired and I would focus on talking to people who actually would LIKE to do this type of job so I would always have lower numbers than my coworkers.
The problem with some of the stuff we said on the phone was, I spent a YEAR talking about the benefits i thought they provided to the new salesmen and in reality the info we were originally provided was not the way it worked anymore so we were misguided. It wasnt until we had a recruiter move to a sales position and come back and do a presentation about it that we found out exactly what the offer was for these new hires. So, please dont blame the recruiters because we were just as blinded as everyone else was for a very long time. However, if anyone tells you that they offer salary then let me know because we have been specifically instructed numerous times to never even SAY the word salary at any point...h*ll WE didnt even get a salary...so why would u? anyway.
I was never a sales person and I couldnt 'sell' this job to everyone who i talked to so that's why i eventually got sick of doing this job. They wanted quality AND quantity out of the candidates that we were supposed to set and the bottom line is that just isn't possible, ESPECIALLY when you don't offer the candidates ANYTHING for this position.
These are the real facts about the insurance salesperson:
1. you need to be licensed when you are hired. this means that by the time you start 'sales school' you need to already have the license in hand, and WE DO NOT PAY FOR YOU TO GET LICENSED. that is your responsibility.
2. sales school is 2 weeks long. you get compensated maybe 500 bux if you finish sales school, but you do not get paid anything while you are there. they send you to one of the main sales school locations for 2 weeks and they do pay for airfare and room at a hyatt hotel. they do not pay for food but i have heard that they may give you a food stipend. still not sure if thats true or not.
3. after sales school, you are on your own. they say that the managers will escort you the first couple of weeks but i have heard from these reports and from people who have worked in the field that this is not true. so hopefully, by the time u get licensed and you go through sales school you are motivated enough to sell insurance on your own.
4. the compensation is purely commission and its based on a percentage of the yearly price of any one policy. Some policies are expensive and some are cheap so the point is you need to sell a lot to make any substantial money. The only way you get anything more consistently is when you have customers that renew their policies every year. Some people have built up a customer base to where they do get tons of money in renewals but as with starting any business, that can take YEARS.
5. the ardmore, traveling five hours to cover a territory, system was SUPPOSED to be banned in the company but I found out right before i quit that some of the MDs and DMs still use it behind the company's back. These guys are going AGAINST the company policy so if someone is doing that you can report it if u want but they rarely listen to anyone but the MDs and DMs. you are SUPPOSED to cover a territory of 20 miles in radius at the max and you are supposed to be hired LOCALLY in an area that we need someone. they should not be hiring you if you live in a place where the territory is already covered. however, because there's SUCH a push to get people hired in this company, some of the MDs will just hire you anyway so they make THEIR numbers and that's where the problem is.
6. they do offer full benefits but these benefits do NOT kick in until you have completed a YEAR of employment with them. This is probably because the turnover rate for salesmen is SO high within the first year.
our whole goal is to get sales people hired in this company because if you can get someone hired, you can get them to sell at least one policy. Even if they quit, the policy is still with the company which means the company still makes money. they do spend more time and money than most of their competitor companies on trying to find and develop good salesman, but the bottom line is insurance and insurance sales are cutthroat industries and you need to be a sneaky, savvy person to survive.
This is why i eventually quit. not only can you not afford to live in chicago with a pay thats just over 30 grand a year, but the guilt i felt for listening to some people's stories and just how pointless my job felt in general just made me realize that id rather quit than continue to work for a bunch of liars and thieves. plus, there was no where for me to move inside the company. they lied to all of us, including the sales people, when they said that after a certain amount of time u can get a different job within the company because it RARELY works out that way. there is absolutely nowhere to go in a recruiting position, there are people that have been in this position for 4 years and have never even been considered for a senior recruiter (manager) position. plus, they give us a raise of about 400 dollars a year, which is NOTHING.
quitting there was the best decision of my life. i have since moved to another state and even though i am still looking for work, i am happily engaged and i feel like my life is actually worth something. for all the days that those people did make me feel like s**t, i still do appreciate some of the people that i worked with and i miss the old days at combined when it was less stressful and more fun.
and fyi- most of the time the people who write responses on here with positive mention of combined insurance, ya its our recruiting managers or our MDs because ive heard them talk about it. they tell us we are not allowed to look at the ripoff report but we all do anyway, and i know for a FACT that they go on here and make up stories about how GREAT it is because this website does really keep people from going to our seminars.
anyway, i hope this gives an honest look into combined insurance. the good the bad and the fugly =-)

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Combined still the same after 35 years
AUTHOR: Scott K - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012
I laughed till I cried reading about your experience as an employee with Combined. I was barley 18 and was recruited as a Sales Rep from a newspaper ad 35 years ago(no email or Internet back then) in Albuquerque, NM. I was sent off to Dallas for 2 weeks of W. Clement Stone training. Combined paid for airfare, hotel and they did pay a food stipend. There was a diverse mix people from around the country and I did end up having a fling with a beautiful girl from Monroe, LA.(the best part of my experience with the company).
Then the "fun" began when I got back. I was assigned a team manager and we all drove individual cars 150 miles to Truth or Consequences, NM and got our assigned areas based on where the "renewal" customers were. The company preyed upon the poor and uninsured and I heard complaint after complaint of how Combined weaseled out of paying claims. I went to any other town on my own and experienced the same feedback. I felt terrible for these people. I think I lasted a month. Not for lack of being able to make money, but the lack of company ethics.

Skill Level Beginner
Now, I'm going to animate the snowflake along a motion path so it drops into position. If you remember, our title animates from zero to 1 second and 10 frames. I think I'd like the snowflake to fall into position about 10 frames later, so let's cover some tips on moving in time. In the Preview panel, you can advance one frame forward and one frame back. You can also press the Shift key to jump 10 frames forward and 10 frames back. If you have an extended keyboard, I prefer to use the Page Down and Page Up keys to do the same thing.
Again, I can add the Shift key to jump 10 frames forward and 10 frames back. If you want to go to a precise frame, you can also click in the timecode area and type 1 second and 20 frames to jump to a specific frame. Either way, this will be the point in time where our snowflake ends up in its final resting place. So let's move it into position, and we'll drag the handle, adding the Shift key to scale it. If it was not quite exactly where you want it, remember you can use the cursor keys down and up, left and right to nudge the layer one pixel at a time.
So this would be my final keyframe. I need to turn on the stopwatch for position. A shortcut is to press Option+P on Mac or Alt+P on Windows, and this toggles on the position stopwatch, and also reveals the property in the Timeline. Now we'll press Home to go back to zero. Remember that our title is below the comp at this point. And I'll take my snowflake and drag it up to the right-hand side. You'll see a motion path appearing. I'll position it around here.
As I hit Play, you'll see it's moving into position. I don't need to create the keyframes in the same order that they appear in the Timeline. Now, my motion path by default is using two keyframes, which are called Auto Bezier. Auto Bezier keyframes will have two dots that are just a little bigger than the motion path, and these are representing the handles. As you click on the dot and drag, you can see you can make a curve. Again, there is a dot on this side as well.
If it's little hard to find, just move the snowflake out of the way. When we click on this handle and drag, you'll see a visible handle. This should create a slightly more interesting motion path, and it also drops straighter into position. If you like, go ahead and create a third keyframe, somewhere between the first two, and that will allow you to create an even more complex motion path.
And you can edit that and edit all of the handles till you get a curve that you'd like. As you can see, with three keyframes, I can create a more interesting curve. Let's see what that looks like. There we go. Now, at this point you'll notice that all of the dots look pretty much even. If I wanted to be a little fussier, I'll place the keyframes somewhat in the center. Now in the next lesson, we'll be working with velocity, as well as with the graph editor, so you'll be able to fine- tune your velocity along the curve.
At the end of this lesson, I'd also talk about editing handles and some more keyframe types, but for now, that's close enough for jazz. So I go to RAM Preview and see if there any more changes I'd like to make. Now one change it's very easy to make is to just ease in to the final position. I can select that last keyframe and go under the Animation menu, Keyframe Assistant > Easy Ease. Now when I RAM-preview, you'll see that it drops into position a little softer.
If I want, I can do the same thing with the last keyframe to the title. You'll notice that the shortcut for Keyframe Assistant, Easy Ease is F9. If you're on a Mac, you might want to change Expose so it doesn't use the same shortcut. Now when I RAM-preview you'll notice that both layers softly finished their animation. So I'm pretty happy with my animation. It might be a good time now to do an Increment and Save. In the next movie, we'll show you how to add scale and rotation animation to our snowflake.

Truths from an Old Codger
I WAS STANDING in the sporting goods section of an eastern Colorado Wal-Mart, buying my 1998 nonresident deer license buying spotting scope and read spotting scope reviews of customer before, when the inevitable happened. The efficient clerk behind the counter already had rattled off a familiar litany of questions – you know the ones, questions dealing with everything from an applicant's name and address to date of birth, height, and weight. Eye color, too. Finally, after dutifully inking each of my answers in the appropriate blanks she finally asked the big question.
"Color of hair?"
"I've always said it's brown," I said, smiling as I doffed my Bowbunter cap, "but you tell me what you think."
She barely glanced up. "Gray!"
My smile froze. Time stood still. Gray! She'd actually said it. Aloud. And that single spoken word somehow made official what I already knew. Because, despite the outdated physical information printed on my Montana driver's license, despite the annual descriptive fiction I write when filling out my own nonresident application forms, and despite my ignoring what apparently is patently obvious to the entire Western world, that sales clerk's utterance forced me to face one undeniable truth: What little hair remaining of my once-brown mane is now the color of a late winter's day. Which isn't surprising. Come to think of it, most of the well-worn camo hanging in my closet is older than most of the bowbunters I meet these days at trade shows, award banquets, and hunting camps.
Fortunately, my initial shock was short lived. After so publicly and abruptly being thrust into the realm of Old Codgerdom, I have come to recognize and welcome other unmistakable truths. For example, I realize that there are some people who actually respect their elders, who occasionally seek their sage advice and wise counsel. So to these special individuals – and to all other mildly curious readers – I gladly take this occasion at the dawning of a new century to share a handful of bowhunting verities. Each was learned firsthand during time spent afield over the past four decades. Take it from someone who knows, the following statements are absolutely true:
- Despite some folks' efforts to reinvent the gun, bowhunting always has been, is now, and always will be a comparatively short-range proposition where the ultimate challenge – and thrill – lies in getting close to wary game, remaining undetected, and delivering a well-placed arrow.
- Good bowbunters regularly take their game regardless of the type or design of hunting tackle they personally choose to use – or are paid to endorse; conversely, using the same superhunter's identical gear won't necessarily make a poor bowhunter any better.
- Bowhunting trophies always should be measured in more important ways than the total inches of horn, antler, or skull; remember, any adult animal of either sex, legally taken under the rules of fair chase, is truly a trophy to the bowhunter fortunate enough to tag it.
- One day in the deer woods is better than any one week spent at work.
- Fishing is a pretty fair way to pass the time between hunts.
- "Hunters" who publicly wear sexually suggestive, obnoxious, or otherwise patently offensive t-shirts have IQs that total less than the draw weight of their favorite bows. Ditto for the clods who wear dirty, smelly, or bloody camo in public.
- There's a special place set aside in hell for the idiots who do their "hunting" from the bed of a 4WD pickup or while sitting astride a noisy ATV or trail bike. This corner of hell resembles the bug-infested country of Canada or Alaska where all offenders must spend eternity wandering endless bogs, woodlands, and open tundras. Without insect repellent. Naked.
- Speed matters more at Daytona or Talladega than on the shooting line or in some treestand; no deer ever arrowed cared a whit whether a hunting bow was shooting 190, 240, or 310 fps. There's simply no substitute for a well-placed, shavin' sharp broadhead.
- The most outspoken critics of too much technology in bowhunting never complain about living in modern houses, driving motor vehicles, or climbing aboard a jet to reach some favorite far-way huntin' area. Some even own computers.
- The most outspoken critics of traditionalists and their "primitive" hunting tackle conveniently fail to recall just how effective longbows and recurves always were before the advent of the compound. Nothing has changed, really, except today's stickbows are better than ever.
- Using a compound should never be an excuse for taking shots beyond one's effective shooting range; using a stickbow should never be an excuse for shooting poorly.
- Anyone who defines "bowhunting success" only in terms of bloody arrows and animals on the ground doesn't belong in bowhunting.
- Becoming an old white-haired bowhunter isn't so bad after all. Especially when you consider the alternative.

Sleep Disorders Health Center
Sleep Deprivation Directory
The average adult needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Teens need about 9. When you get less sleep than you need, your body does not just "adapt," but rather you may begin to experience symptoms of sleep deprivation. Your judgment and reaction time may slow, you may experience memory loss, depression, a weakened immune system, and pain. It can be especially dangerous to drive when you're sleep deprived since focusing and keeping your eyes open can become difficult. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how sleep deprivation affects your body, how much sleep you need, how to get more sleep, and much more.
Medical Reference
Sleep deprivation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, poor immune systems, poor mental health, and even obesity. Find out how sleep keeps your body healthy.

Alpha Box & Dice

Designed by Mash | Country: Australia
"Justin Lane – lovable rogue and wine evangelist approached us to collaborate with him to create a unique brand after years of making other people's wines famous. Question was how to put years of unbelievable stories, old school methods that date back to the dawn of the grape, made up bathtub methods from Einsten-esque setups and pure genius – onto a 10×10 label… This guy is a master of story telling through
wine and unfortunately conventional rolling hills with cursive brand names would not do here. We realised the brand name and the world's first Alphabet of wines in their tin shed which is now known as The AB&D Wine Salon and has been given the Mash hand painted touch. Each wine unique like a film project, 26 letters, 26 stories all interconnected. Available now ABCD&F – What will surely be a collectors item.

"A series of boxes that contain one, two and three wine bottles each. Each box can accept two different sizes/forms of bottles of the same capacity. The three sizes are either combined together or separately and by stacking them a wine-rack is formed. Even a big wine-rack could be produced in this way. The shape of the box was chosen because it is sympathetic to the shape of the bottle and it also looks like a grape from one side when stack. The box has a handle and can be carried like a bag without the need for additional packaging. The use of Oak plywood as the main material was chosen because it makes references to the Oak barrels the wine matures in. The client logo appears on the box and on a label on the handle which also explains the concept and the way to reuse the box."

"Captain Ahab Lager is based on the American classic Moby Dick, and its ruthless tormented character Captain Ahab. Rough illustrations and muted colors allow the consumer to dive into the world Herman Melville created while incorporating a unique beverage experience. Depicting visuals of Ahab and the whale invoke a strong resurgence of the classic novel bringing it to life."

Harem Sultan
May 6, 2010 | 5 Comments
Designed by TBWA\Istanbul | Country: Turkey
"Harem Sultan is a premium wine brand that is only sold at duty free shops in Turkey targeting foreign tourists. The brief was to design a packaging that would create conversation on the table when people go back to their countries. Something that foreigners would love to buy not only as wine but as a "Special Souvenir from Turkey".
Each bottle is dressed with the famous Kaftan of an Ottoman Sultan. The colours of the Kaftans indicate the sort of wine in the bottle. At the back of each bottle there is the real story of the Kaftan. The Kaftans are all handcrafted in silk. And are all designed by the original textiles of the Ottoman Sultans."

"The first wine release from wine producer Burn Cottage. The producers have patiently set up a biodynamic vineyard from scratch. A lengthy process that in time will see them reap the benefits. However, in the short term, this sort of approach can be seen as an overly expensive exercise, a 'cashburn' project. Hence the wine 'Cashburn' was created with hand drawn illustration on an uncoated paper stock. Stay tuned for the Burn Cottage branded wines"
