Catching the wind
A fine weekend I trust was had by all bloggers and blogger's families, friends and hangers on. We celebrated my mother's 80th in traditional style: lunch in the pub and a calorie overload of extraordinary proportions. But then a treacle tart has certain demonic properties and consumption is compulsory. Party on.
So we are off on one of my favourite days of the year. The "Radio 2 Folk Awards" is a great evening and we are doing the show live from "The Brewery" (oh the hardship) in east London. Whether you like Mike Harding's stuff or not, I can promise a show with some of the most talented musicians in these islands. As you know Donovon gets a lifetime achievement award and we speak to him after 6 as well as Barbara Dickson, who co-hosts tonight. I'm hoping Mike Harding has a confession too. We are on till 7.45 and then on stand-by to pick up after the show has finished. That red button can be used tonight to follow events on your digital TV. I'll wave from our table.
There probably isn't room for an oldie theme today but if you have ever been to a folk gig, bought a folk tune or 2, or own a poster of Joni Mitchell, your reminiscences and memories would be very welcome. I'll include as many as I can on the show. If, on the other hand, you hate the very sound of a banjo or fiddle, er, well, give us a chance or come back tomorrow...
First thing however, I'm off to a nuclear physics lab on a secret project. Yes really.
Have a foot stomping, ukelele picking, squeeze box filled Monday, see you after 5.

Happy birthday to Mrs Mayo Snr! A grand age - 80 is the new 60, you know...
Not a big folk fan myself - I don't dislike it, it's just not particularly my genre of choice. So - for Kev - I'll just go for anything by Fairport Convention.
Off to work now - see you at coffee time!

Hi Simon and Drive Team
You lucky so-and-so's. It's a hot ticket and no mistake.
Have tried bribery, ransom and all manner of nefarious arm twistery - to no avail. People just don't pass on their invites to The Brewery for the Folk Awards.
A glass of wine, some munchies and the red button will have to suffice.
I have far too many reminescerances from my times in folk world for utterage in this small space.
However - *claim to fame alert* - I am proud to see that Mrs Casey Music STILL uses the original Rocking Chair logo that I designed for Steve Heap back in the 70's.

Hello and Happy Monday to Blog Chumsters!
Had an excellent Sunday - well, Saturday wasn't too bad either.
Have not been at home for much of the last few days, but daughter and friend have - some tidying up is needed.
Weather looks awful outside so am glad to be 'working from home'. A phrase which roughly translates to building a baby log fire and cooking up a warming casserole, listening to the raydio, nattering to you lot, and writing about ten important emails. That's the work bit.

Morning Simon, Team and fellow Blogsters
Well I am sure it will be a great evening tonight, you sound a smidge excited about it from your post this morning. I may dip in this evening, as folk is something that I don't listen to that often. I seem to remember Donovan was always in the local paper when I was growing up. He was one of a few celebrities who lived in my neck of the woods. Never met him though, I was rather young at the time! (How tenuous a link is that?!!)

I am going to be a bit cheeky and request something anyway, but only because that when you do play it, as I'm sure you will, I can pretend to myself that it was entirely my doing. Simon, or Mike, or Barbara (covering all bases, there), would you please arrange it so that at some point in the proceedings, a bit of Bellowhead is broadcast. That'd be lovely.

Anyhoo, dark and windy this morning in this neck of the woods.
Lovely weekend was had by all, thank you for asking.
I have a couple of claims to Barbara Dickson fame. The first is rather tenuous, Barbara had music lessons with the same elderly music teacher I had. Unfortunately, I never encountered her at Miss Methven's and my musical talent didn't progress as far as the lovely Ms Dickson's talent.
About 12 years ago, the GBs' father and I were having a coffee in a cafe in the market town where Barabara lives when she came in. I smiled politely but the GBs' father had to speak to her, telling Barbara how much his mother enjoyed her music. I'm sure it made her day ;)

Morning folks - hope you all had a good weekend. Another Monday, another dream come true .... If there was any chance that Simon & Crew were looking for recommendations for songs this evening, as opposed to suggestions for the theme (!) then of course it's Simon's perfect excuse again to play
NORTHERN SKY - Nick Drake (officially the loveliest thing ever made by man!)
ANYTHING BY JOHN MARTYN - John Martyn - maybe MAY YOU NEVER.
My favourite folk gig memory was seeing Leonard Cohen at the Albert Hall having blagged my way in for free at the back door, and going to the gents during the interval to find that the gentleman occupying the adjacent standing space to me was the late, great Dave Allen (well - he wasn;t late then, but he still was great)> And OBVIOUSLY he'd be a Leonard Cohen fan... Seen Donovan so many times - lovely guy. Once in Manchester there was a lad with cerebral palsy in the audience who was finding it hard to contain himself, and kept shouting loud noises in the quietest moments of the show completely at random. Everyone around him was very understanding (it wasn;t as though he could do much about it), but it must have been very distracting, and especially from the stage it must have been distracting for Donovan too. But everything went okay, and at the end of the gig Donovan thanked everyone for coming, and looked right and left and up into the circle to say thanks, and then made a HUGE show of thanks to this teenage boy as though as far as Donovan was concerned the whole show had been for him, and if nobody else had turned up it would still have been worth it. And I decided there and then that Donovan was one of the nicest around.... So - if we get to choose/recommend Donovan tracks, let's have "Song of a Naturalists Wife" or "Tinker and the Crab" from 'Gift From a Flower to a Garden' please!! Long blog..... better do some work!

My defense is I was tweeting on my phone - without my reading glasses on, I had been previously thinking about FC, plus the names are quite similar... I only hope Simon didn't have about 100 tweets between my original one and the correction. Otherwise he's going to think I've totally lost the plot.

#30 - hi Deebee - thanks for the comment, and it was a lovely response from Donovan - this kid in the audience really couldn't keep as quiet as everyone else (he was really enjoying himself, and you know what folk gigs are like - church-like reverent atmosphere!!), and there will have been people there who thought he should have gone out, and lots of people who just understood and put up with it, but inevitably it was distracting, and Don's handling of it was absolutely where it should have been, because amongst us old fogies keeping silent and gently tapping a foot in the dark, here was a young lad having an absolute ball and voicing it for all to hear! Brilliant night out.

Ken - STFU? - gradually figured it out, so no need to clarify! yeah - me too in general, and it just goes to show. I used to go to a folk club over my local pub, and there was a guy who used to turn up there once in a while who had cerebral palsy also (bit of a theme here!), who could hardly talk, had to be lifted up the stairs in his wheelchair, and had so little motor control of hands and legs etc. But his mate would stick a guitar across his lap and plonk a bottle neck in his left hand, and he turned into Elmore James! Absolutely amazing guy... funny ways music can have of opening your eyes.

I used to frequent a jazz club in Brighton and if anyone so much as whispered during a performance, there would be aghast looks from the audience and you would be "spoken to" afterwards. Mr P refused to perform there as he said the lack of interaction with the audience affected his playing.

Yes - it IS quieter than the norm. Perhaps there aren't that many bloggers with memories or even connections with this sort of music.
It's also often the case that when there is no theme, per se, the more upfront mensh chasers don't bother stopping by. That's a pity - it's good to chat, particularly about music - oh, and food - and well, anything really ..
Love your story about the Donovan Manchester gig. I remember, when I was VERY young [practically a foetus], the launch of Donovan as the so-called British Bob Dylan. He was such a sweet and soft-voiced individual and SO far removed from the snarly persona of Bob Dylan. But, in those days, Dylan had become a protest hero as well as a hit singer so everything seemed to be measured against him.
Hope Kev drops by. Am sure he has a tale to tell.

Until about four years ago, music was not really even a main interest of mine and the number of concerts I had been to could be counted on one hand. Then I got 'taken' to a Bellowhead gig in Pontardawe and became hooked by not only their sheer enjoyment of folk in it's various forms but by folk music in general.
I'm now going to several concerts a week and it's taken over my life!
Really looking forward to watching and listening tonight. Anything by Bellowhead (especially New York Girls) would be very much appreciated, as a way of saying thankyou for showing me what music has to offer.

Did anyone see the drama 'The Promise' last night? It was about a girl who goes on a trip to Israel, taking her grandfather's diary with her. She reads that he was an Army officer and was involved in the liberation of the Jews in 1945. We're going to Israel in a couple of weeks (actually, less than two now - whoop, whoop!) and I'm afraid I'm quite ignorant about the history of the country, so I found this drama quite fascintating.

#46 - I could never see the connection between Donovan and Dylan Katymac, but have to admit in retrospect that the solo acoustic guitar/wears a little black cap/ has a protest song out thing was probably enough. But as you say, Don was a different kettle of fish, and if they crossed over at some point it was only for a very short time. Donovan is a much better guitar player for starters, but much more gentle of spirit as well as of voice. I haven't got many albums but used to go see him live a lot. It was funny when his daughter married (I think they were married) Shaun Ryder, 'cos all the Madchester Happy Mondays fans used to turn up at his gigs all of a sudden. BUt I love Gift From a Flower To a Garden if anyone knows that, and Essence to Essence from about 1973.

Hey John, It's a shame the topic of the day has 'frightened' some of the regular contributors away. General chit chat would be more than acceptable. Having said that, I'm outta here in a few mins so won't be around to contribute 'til later.

This blog continues to be an education.
"Macassar oil is a compounded oil used primarily by men in Victorian and Edwardian times as a hair conditioner to groom and style the hair.
Macassar oil is often made with coconut oil or palm oil or that of Schleichera trijuga, combined with ylang-ylang oil (obtained by processing the flowers of the ylang-ylang tree, Cananga odorata) and other fragrant oils.
Macassar oil was so named because it was reputed to have been manufactured from ingredients purchased in the port of Makassar in Indonesia.
Due to the tendency for the oil to transfer from a gentleman's hair to the back of the chair he was sitting on, the antimacassar was developed. This is essentially a small crocheted cloth placed over the back of a chair."

Leather patches are the key thing John, but a pipe is the cherry on the cake. You don't have to smoke it - much more authentic just to chew on it. And always carry a penny whistle in your top pocket, refusing to play it on the basis that "the lips have gone!" I can see you're going to be good at this.

Is the question of droid consciousness ever addressed in canon sources? Are they self aware or do they merely pass the turing test by seeming self aware?
If you do a Google Books search for phrases like "Threepio wondered" and "Artoo thought", you'll get hits that are clearly passages from EU novels written from the perspective of a droid. For example, there's this line from Dark Apprentice by Kevin Anderson:
If droids are capable of being perspective characters, I'd say that's the most compelling evidence you could get that they're actually conscious.
The Medstar Duology (Battle Surgeons and Jedi Healer, Clone Wars era) also addresses this issue. The droid I-5YQ comes to the planet and expresses great sadness, remorse, sarcastic capabilities, inquisition about the force and human behavior, and a desire to get drunk. The book compares this seemingly conscious droid with the clones, and the doctors in the Medstar Duology revise their point of view on what exactly can be considered alive. It seems that the consciousness of droids is a common theme throughout the Star Wars saga.
This is an excerpt from the 'Star Wars - The Force Awakens' novel which is canon.
So the droids do have consciousness on some level.
Yes, without a doubt. I will be using some quotes from the novelization of The Force Awakens, which describe BB-8 and his behavior, to support my case (because I happen to have it handy at the moment).
BB-8's dialogue (i.e., beeping) as a reflection of his emotions and consciousness:
BB-8's beeps are variously described as:
BB-8's behavior and thoughts as a reflection of his emotions and consciousness:
His reactions to different situations are similarly varied, and highly suggestive of an advanced level of consciousness:
We even get a glimpse of how he feels about humans and other organic beings:
And at one point he seeks out his own kind; he is well aware that he was a droid, and not a human:
He himself is described as:
As should be clear by now, BB-8 is definitely self aware, and possesses consciousness, albeit "artificial consciousness". He fears for his well-being and the well-being of his friends, he gets annoyed, he is insubordinate, he gets frustrated, he experiences sadness, loyalty, comradeship, happiness, and doubt.
He doesn't feel these emotions and impulses in a vacuum, of course - he acts in accordance to them, and makes decisions based on them. For example, when he sees Finn wearing a jacket that belongs to his master Poe, he alerts Rey to the apparent theft (despite the fact that Rey has no real reason to care, from a perspective of pure self-interest), and after she knocks Finn down, BB-8 makes it abundantly clear that he is enraged by Finn's apparent thievery, and repeatedly shocks him with a Taser. When Finn explains that he came to Jakku with Poe, but believed the latter to be dead, BB-8 reacts appropriately, immediately foregoing his rage and sinking into grief and despair.
He is more limited in his actions than we are: He apparently can't reject a direct order, no matter how much he wants to do so, but can only protest it. His programming inhibits him in less direct ways as well - at one point, he follows Rey, staying "as close to her as protocol allowed". This suggests that he is programmed with a complex set of guidelines, presumably designed to accommodate basic etiquette, including, perhaps, some respect for "personal space".
More to the point of the question - which focuses on consciousness and self-awareness - he knows he is a droid, and wants to be among his own kind, but sees humans as an acceptable substitute - even if he can't "rouse much empathy" for the human need to eat, despite understanding it in an objective sense.
Regardless of the mechanical and artificial source of his sentience, he clearly possesses a wide range of emotions, fears, hopes, desires, and opinions, and these are quite similar to their analogues in humans and other intelligent species. This isn't mere parroting of what he sees, it is intuitive, natural, and authentic. He doesn't just appear to be a thinking, feeling, self-aware entity; he truly does think, feel, and possess a robust awareness of himself.
Although BB-8 would presumably have to obey Poe even if he didn't like him, this clearly isn't the case - BB-8 is not only obedient, but loyal and affectionate. He obviously cares for Poe, and later, Rey and Finn, quite deeply. I don't see any evidence that his affection for his organic companions is substantially different from their affection for one another. And although I haven't touched on it elsewhere in this answer, it is self-evident, in my opinion, that the same is true of R2-D2. The most prominent droids in Star Wars are quite plainly conscious, emotional beings who love their companions and display a full range of emotions throughout the series.
Thus, droids obviously do possess consciousness, self-awareness, emotions, and personalities, and although some aspects of their behavior are regulated by programming and fairly rigid protocol, these limitations and prohibitions seem to be a very minor part of the overall picture. The vast majority of a droid's actions are motivated by internal decision making processes, emotions, and values, in a manner that appears to be almost indistinguishable from our own decision making processes, emotions, and values.
In Tales of the Bounty Hunters you have Ig 88 and counterparts perspectives, in one event attempting to deduce what actions Boba Fett will take to counter them in a starship combat.
In Knights of the Old Republic conversations with the artistically violent and whimsical HK-47, many of which imply sentience.
There are more examples, but I think we can reasonably conclude that some droids at least, are conscious.

Ariana Grande Records Song Written by Harry Styles
Pop sensations Ariana Grande and Harry Styles have crossed paths!
Pop sensations Ariana Grande and Harry Styles have crossed paths!
When One Direction sang, "You've got that one thing," they weren't kidding. The number one is a thing for the boys and not just because that's the chart position their albums often occupy! 1D's Harry Styles is reportedly working with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder.
Directioners, are you ready for a new single from the guys? We just got word that One Direction will be releasing 'You and I' to pop radio on April 15!
Directioners, get ready to giggle your faces off for the next six-plus minutes! One Direction have shared a mockumentary of the behind-the-scenes footage from the photo and promo shoot for their new That Moment fragrance and it's beyond hilarious.
Hanging out with the Queen has rubbed off on Niall Horan.
The Vamps have put their own spin on One Direction's 'Midnight Memories' as they mark their whirlwind first trip to New York City in the fan-filled music vid.
A new photo that has surfaced online has Selena Gomez and One Direction fans going crazy with speculation once again!
It's good to be Harry Styles and it's good to be One Direction. Those are fairly obvious assessments. But want more proof of the charmed lives of 1D? Well, we've got it.
Being a member of one of the most famous boy bands in the world certainly comes with its perks -- just ask Niall Horan! The Irish One Direction cutie had the honor of meeting Queen Elizabeth II for the second (!) time when he greeted her today, March 26.
Oh Twitter, you can be a brutal mistress. There was a bit of a One Direction Twitter controversy, or "drama," earlier today (March 25) regarding the deletion of a "vintage" tweet between Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. Additionally, Liam Payne recently addressed media comments that he is "fat."

I bought this set for my 15 yr old son's room. It is very appropriate for a young man's room. Great price for the set also. The quality is great and the set is very close in color to the photo. In the photo, the sheets and pillow cases look almost white, but they are actually a light grey which I think goes much better with the set than white sheets would.
sheets are a little scratchy when you first get them out of the bag so i highly recommend washing the sheets, pillowcases, shams, and comforter before you put them on your bed. after washing they are very soft and very comfortable.
I love being able to buy a complete bed set at an affordable price. It's a great item.
Well my husband and I bought this for temporarily for our room.. I like the look but very rough feeling. Not as soft as i wanted to be its been washed dozens of times and no softer but the color of course did die a bit. Its great for kids my son loves it!
faded badly 1st wash. filler wadded up. a complete waste of money.
I purchased this set for only $40 for my 6 yr old son's room and I'm glad I did! It comes with everything: pillow case, pillow sham, flat & fitted sheets, comforter, AND bedskirt, which some other sets I looked at don't come with for some reason. The colors are bright and crisp, and my son loves it! His favorite color is red, but I also wanted something with a "masculine" feel to it as well, and this was perfect. Great purchase for the price!
I bought this bedding set for my boyfriend's king size bed and I have to say that it looks good. The sheets are light grey, not white. They are a little scratchy but I'm hoping that maybe after a couple more washes and a lot more fabric softener, they will soften up some more. I actually spent more than $34 at the store. I spent about $45 but more than I was expecting for the price.
The styling is just as pictured and it is a very nice set, however there is a reason it's $39.99. Material is a little stiff, but again, its a great value and you get what you paid for!
Perfect for my tween boy who LOVES it! Recently re-did his room in an Ohio State theme and wanted a neutral set that complimented the color scheme. This was perfect!!!
This item was ordered due to having company for the July 4th weekend. My guests truly enjoyed the comfort of this product as well as the appearance. I am very thankful for locating this set and will be ordering additional sets for the other three bedrooms. I have not yet laundered this product but I feel it will pass specifications quite well.
If you are wanting something that is soft to the touch, then don't purchase this. Fabrichas been washed 3 times and is still very rough, I feel bad for my kid having to sleep on it. Looks good but thats about it! This is no bargain lowest grade materials, but would be usefull if you were just modeling a bed!
I got this bed-in-a-bag a few months ago and loved it. The only drawback is that the texture is not soft at all but rough to touch. I have not washed it yet so can't say about the colors. It looks nice and neat. Also, I could not fit the bed skirt on my queen size!
It is absolutely beautiful! Unfort. my puppy peed on it the 2nd night lol, but I can say I washed it and it came out just as awesome. The color is burgandy NOT red which I was thrilled with because it didn't really say. Would not hesitate to buy this item!!
I had bought this set a while back and I love the the style, but the whole set was rough and itchy. And the Bed Skirt doesnt last, the steam was ripping about a month after using it, the colors faded after two washes. I would not buy this set again.
I needed a new comforter set for my 16 year old son's room. He picked it out and loves it. Our only complaint is that the sheets are a little stiff and pick a bit. It was a great value and has really upgraded the look of his room.
While the comforter was acceptable for a bed in a bag set of this value, the sheets were of terrible quality. After a few months of use, they pilled and weren't the least bit comfortable. I had to buy sheets elsewhere to replace.
My husband and I finally found this bvedding to buy for our new bed at our new place and it looks very good. It matches our styles and we both love the colors so it works out great and his parnets really love it also.
I purchased this for my teenaged son after he picked it out online. He was very pleased when we received it and everything looked the way it did online. This was a great buy.
Received this as a gift and washed before use, all of the filling in the comforter melted and matted together. I love the colors but it was a very rough material and bulky.
Looks great, a little scratchy;had to wash it first. Fit my teenage son's room decor to a T! A great look for an even better price; would recommend this to anyone.
Even though the sheets are only 200 thread count the ensemble looks good. Don't know how it will hold up over time, I would purchase it again at the same price.

Nicky Hilton
Nicky Hilton in Levi's Denim Jacket
It looks like Nicky Hilton is a fan of Paige Premium. Nicky enjoyed a day of shopping, stopping off to pick a few things up from Paige, while wearing a denim jacket from Levi's. I wonder what she picked up? Please click this blog post to view more images.
Nicky Hilton in James Jeans
Nicky Hilton was spotted doing some shopping in West Hollywood with boyfriend David Katzenberg. She was wearing a pair of her James Jeans Twiggy Denim Leggings in Slate again. I really like the color combination of her outfit. The blue scarf really adds that added pop of color of what would otherwise be a sad looking outfit. Jessica Alba was also spotted wearing these denim leggings.

I have a Haugpauge HD PVR model 1212, it captures via usb into a .ts container using the h264 video codec and aac audio. I tried to apply a speed effect to the clips within kdenlive and the video playback is just grey. I realize h264 isn't the preferred format for linear video editing. What codec do I want to transcode the files into for working with them in kdenlive so I apply effects like speed and other effects? They are 1280x720p resolution so I don't want to transcode and lose any quality, I will be re-encoding them back into libx264 and aac audio for upload to youtube. What codec and container do you suggest I convert the .ts file into? Can I just use avidemux or handbrake? Any help is appreciated.
Sun, 01/13/2013 - 07:41
Are you against using kdenlives very useful proxy feature and avoid transcoding?
Tue, 01/15/2013 - 07:04
The proxy feature transcodes your clips for you but at render time uses the original source material, you can also individually switch a proxy on and off for a clip etc if need be.
So a suitable proxy format / codec choice will be trial and error, perhaps start with the default and create custom proxy profiles for testing response of your machine and then apply that proxy profile in your project settings.

As precedence of && is more (is this the suitable adj.?) than precedence of ||, I wrote something like this:
if (a || b && c ){ ....
I guess the program will first find
b && c, let's call it
d, and then find
a || d, right?
I want the the program to check "a" statement first, and then if it is wrong; check b and c. Is something like this possible?

DALAI LAMA: India animal charity launch
29/11/2012 by Alan Cole in the UK
Dalai Lama lends support to fledgling Indian animal welfare charity in Mumbai...
The Dalai Lama has called for compassion for animals, at a launch event for a new animal welfare organisation in India aiming to combat factory farming and other forms of cruelty...
His Holiness the Dalai Lama joined forces with Humane Society International to launch the charity's new affiliate organisation on the occasion of World Compassion Day...
Humane Society International India announced its official launch at an event in Mumbai featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who gave a talk about the need to protect animals from human mistreatment...
"Animals deserve our compassion... said the Dalai Lama.
"We must know their pain. We should nurture this compassion through education. Showing concern about animal rights is respecting their life."
The inaugural opening of HSI India also included leading animal advocate Pritish Nandy; Bollywood icon Anil Kapoor; and author Chetan Bhagat.
Wayne Pacelle, CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS); Andrew Rowan, CEO of Humane Society International (HSI), were also in attendance.
However, the main coup for the new charity launch was clearly the presence of His Holiness, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and one of the world's most instantly recognisable humanitarians...
"There are remarkable people who have embraced the cause of protecting animals, but few with the moral authority and conviction of His Holiness the Dalai Lama... explained Pacelle.
"His presence today provides an emotional and spiritual lift to our efforts to elevate animal welfare campaigns and activities in the subcontinent of India..."
HSI India will have its headquarters in Hyderabad and is focusing on campaigns against factory farming and stopping animal testing for cosmetics; as well as other programmes including a street dog management scheme.
The charity will also have a veterinary training centre in Jaipur...
At the celebrations in Mumbai the fourteenth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso spoke of his respect for animals which traditionally are held in great regard in Tibetan Buddhism, along with all forms of life, even small creatures like insects...
His Holiness the Dalai Lama also expressed the view that respect for the animal kingdom enables a deeper spirituality and regard for human beings too...

Try this Connolas Jalapeno Poppers recipe, or contribute your own.
0 people want to try | 0 have favorited
Wash jalapenos, cut in half and take out seeds. Stuff each half with grated jack cheese. In shallow bowl, mix flour, egg, parmesan, milk, salt & pepper to taste. Place breadcrumbs in flat dish. Dip jalapeno in egg mixture and then in breadcrumbs. Place in freezer for 1/2 hour. Take out of freezer and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. The seasoned breadcrumb will give you more flavor and since it is salted, you dont need to add much salt to the egg mixture. The unseasoned breadcrumb will give your coating more of a firm consistency when fried. VARIATIONS: Use jack cheese with pimentos for a mild flavor, or jalapenos for a double inferno. Also, add some chili powder and/or cumin to the egg mixture for a more "Mexican" type flavor. From: Connie Rizzo Posted to EAT-L Digest 12 Aug 96 Date: Tue, 13 Aug 1996 14:16:44 -0500 From: LD Goss

If your business is helping others to become better people, better parents, better spouses, financially stronger, then don't expect it to go anywhere anytime soon.
You may not like the business model but the facts are these companies have seminars that cost very little to attend and its packed with self help speakers, motivational speakers and folks that started out at the bottom letting everyone in the room know, YOU CAN DO IT TOO. Carl is finding all this out now and he is starting to take the protection of this remarkable company personal so good by shorts.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
But Ackman and his mindless monkey's don't care about people helping people, they only care about themselves
Yea, HLF helps millions of people each year. In that we are in total agreement. However I know what they do is HELP PEOPLE out of their cash each year. And the people they HELP out of their cash are mostly poor and vulnerable. But dont worry. After buying in and buying product they have on average 13 retail customers (mostly family and friends who feel sorry for them) and most likely lose money on every so called retail "sale"
