Wow! Now when a student intern even turns down a job offer, you know something is seriously wrong.ReplyDelete

Can't speak about the other people, but Jefferson Hagen left for a sports job with the Calgary Herald. I think we can all agree that the Herald is a considerable step up from Sun Media, so I don't know if I would feel too bad about that one.ReplyDelete

" a considerable step up" -- actually lots of Sun people in Alberta have turned down the Herald, which is a very shaky paper these days and certainly no "step up."ReplyDelete

That's a considerable lie. You would have to be an idiot to turn down working for better pay, a respected newspaper, and getting treated like an employee should. This sounds like Sun propaganda that management tell students who don't know any better.ReplyDelete

Marketing Concepts
The modern world dictates its own conditions, its ownprinciples and rules that have an impact on all areas of people's lives. An exception is not such a sphere of life as marketing. This concept appeared relatively recently. Under marketing understand the principles of anticipating the needs of customers, as well as organizations through advertising. At the same time, a very important goal is pursued: to increase sales and make profits as high as possible.
For this, the marketing concepts are used.
If we turn to the economic literature, thenit becomes clear that the concept of marketing is the methods of doing business in a market economy. In other words, these are principles that are oriented toward profit and to the consumer.
Marketing concepts suggest the existence ofsome instrument of activity, as well as a set of regulations and rules that every company applying for leadership in a particular field should use. All these rules and regulations are subject to a single goal - to get the highest possible profit and satisfy all the needs of the consumer.
Economic science offers several basicconcepts. In general, they can all be divided into two categories. Classic models are among the first. To the second, the models are modern, more advanced.
So, classical marketing concepts likerule, are more theoretical in nature. They are not always relevant and adapted for real use in modern business. Nevertheless, if you set a goal to consider any business from different sides, then you should resort to classical concepts.
The classical concept of marketing is divided into the following categories:
- Production, which considers issues related to the production of various products, as well as production technology.
- Commodity, dealing with pricing, naming and brand management.
- The concept of marketing is rightly called the most difficult. Sales is sales. Therefore, this concept implies the study of such aspect of business as the final contact of the product with the target audience and the establishment of relations with the subsequent conclusion of the transaction.
This concept is obsolete, because it is oriented to the production base, and in the twenty-first century - the century of technology and information - this approach is irrelevant.
Therefore, advanced, modernconcept of marketing. They take into account the impact of technological advances, information, the world wide web, automation on all aspects of society, including business.
The modern concept of marketing involvespermanent improvement of the products offered, as well as methods of doing business. This means that it is necessary to take such measures as will help increase the profitability of the business, increase its effectiveness, expand the range of products or services offered. To do this, it is necessary to improve the existing products, as well as to develop a new one.
Among new concepts, an increasing role is played bycalled email marketing. This is the most effective way to advertise a product or service. It can reach consumers around the world with minimal effort. It is possible to use not only the Internet, but also printed publications, television and radio, however, they are not so effective for reaching the global audience. E-marketing is also more accessible, and this is its undeniable advantage among all others.
To be a successful entrepreneur to leadship your business to promising horizons, it is worth knowing the concepts of marketing, and also spare no time to study new trends and trends.

NOTE: There will be a pattern for the larger and smaller one in the next couple of weeks. Just need to write it and then get it tested. I'll probably sell it in my etsy shop and in my ravelry shop.
Over the weekend we had some friends over for Chinese food (great little chinese resturant here) and pony rides for the kids. It was so much fun just chatting and giving rides. Anyways, while we were inside chatting I of course was crocheting away and Mindi (she's sooo nice) asked me if I could make her a hat and I was like sure so she told me what she wanted and I got working on it right away.It looks great on the gal I gave it to and she really likes it. Thanks to her I have 2 or 3 orders for the same hat (one of them will be the same colors too). I really appreciate the plug she's giving them. Took me less than 2 hours (I got the whole entire thing almost completely done before they left). Here are some pics of it.
Isn't the model just rad. She should hit the beach and work on her tan next summer though. LOL. Hmm, I never got a pic of that hat with the tassels on it (on the ties and on the top with a little sl st'd cord coming out of the top). The tassels really make it look cute. I love that hat.
Okay, and the gal that I made the first hat for wanted one for her little boy so when I was at there house yesterday I made this one. Still needs the tassels on the ties and on the top though. It looks really cute on him.

Reserve Champion Pineapple Shawl
I entered a shawl among a few others things at our fair this last August. Yay!! The first clothing kind of wearable I've ever entered. I was SOOOO happy when I saw the reserve champion ribbon. I'd been working towards getting one of those for years now.
The Shawl I entered is from my own Pineapple Shawl design. Now I just need to buckle down and get the pattern written up. Here are the pics!!!

. Friendshift of women.
Women are more constant in friendship than men, for these reasons: the temperament of women is more cold, and therefore less likely to change or fly off from an object, to which they are once attached. The same coolness of constitution renders them more subject to timidity; and so they adhere to objects of affection, because they are fearful of losing what they value.
Scaliger. Scaliger used to say, that he could not comprehend the causes of three things; the interval of an ague, the motion of the sea, and the nature of his own memory. Medici. The family of the Medici, most probably, took their rise from some ancestor, who was an eminent fishysician, as they still bear in their arms the device of five pills."
Etymology of Decrestitude.
The comparison of human life to the burning and going out of a lamp was familiar with Latin authors, as we know by the terms "senes decrefiti." A lamp, just about to expire, was said decrefare, to cease to crackle. Hence metaphorically, persons on the verge of the grave were called decrepit Inen.
It is an observation of Seneca, that we should mix company and retirement, in order to make them both pleasant by change. The wish always to be alone shows the temper of a wild, ferocious animal, carries with it the dismal darkness of the tomb. The effect of such a disposition of mind is
well described by an ancient phrass " cor suum edens," eating his own heart. Absolute singleness is the character of the Deity only ; but man is too feeble and dependent to subsist by himself.
Swift was invited by a rich miser with a large party to dine ; being requested by the host to return thanks at the removal of the cloth, uttered the following grace : Thanks for this miracle !-this is no less, 'Than to eat manna in the wilderness. where raging hunger reign'd we've found relief, And secn that wondrous thing a piece of beef.
Here chimneys smoke, that never smok'd before, And we've all ate, where we shall eat no more.
Aristippus was very fond of magnificent entertainments, and loved a court life. Dionysius asked him, in a sarcastick manner, the reason, why philosophers were seen often at the gates of princes, but princes never at the doors of philosophers ?

TRUE STORY OF AN APPARITION. By Gay.
scEPticks (whose strength of argument makes out,
That wisdom's decp inquiries end in doubt)
And can we doubt that horrid ghosts ascend,
where Arden's forest spreads its limits wide, whose branching paths the doubtful road divides A traveller took his solitary way, when low beneath the hills was sunk the day. And now the skies with gathering darkness lour, The branches rustle with the threatened shower i with sudden blasts the forest murmurs loud, Indented lightnings cleave the sable cloud, Thunder on thunder breaks, the tempest roars, And heaven discharges all its watery stores. The wandering traveller shelter sacks in vain, And shrinks and shivers with the beating rain : On his steed's neck the slackened bridle lay, who chose with cautious step th' uncertain way 1 And now he checks the rein, and halts to hear If any noise foretold a village near. At length from far a stream of light he sees Extend its level ray beneath the trees; Thither he speeds, and, as he nearer came, Joyful he knew the lamp's domestick flame That trembled thro' the window ; cross the way Darts forth the barking cur, and stands at bay.
It was an ancient lonely house, that stood Upon the borders of the spacious wood ; Here towers and antique battlemcnts arise, And there in heaps the mouldered ruin lies. Some lord this mansion held in days of yore, To chace the wolf, and pierce the foaming boar; How changed, alas, from what it once had been 1 "Tis now degraded to a publick inn.
Straight he dismounts, repeats his loud commands:
swift at the gate the ready landlord stands;
The maid, who listen'd to this whole debate, with pity learnt the weary strazger's fate. Be brave, she cried, you still may be our guest; Our haunted room was ever held the best : If then your valour can the fright sustain Of rattling curtains, and the clinking chain ; If your courageous tongue have power to talk,
- when round yourbed the honid ghost shaliwalk;
If you dare ask it, why it leaves its tomb ;
Then, muttering hasty prayers, he mann'd his
Here ceas'd the ghost. The stranger springs from bed,
And boldly follows where the phantom led : 'The half-worn stony stairs they now descend, where passages obscure their arches bend. Silent they walk; and now through groves they
ass Now toh wet meads their steps imprint the
grass. At length amidst a spacious field they came : There stops the spectre, and ascends in flaine, Amaz'd he stood, no bush or bricr was found, 'To teach his morning search to find the ground. What could he do the night was hideous dark, Fear shook his joints, and nature dropt the mark: with that he starting wak'd, and rais'd his head, But found the golden mark was left in bed.

Memoirs of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences. Vol. I.
1785. 4to. fift. 568.
P. Some select astronomical observations made at Chelsea, latitude 42° 25', and 26" in time east of the university at Cambridge. By the Rev. Phillifts Payson, F.A..A.
The astronomical observations, here selected, are those of several emersions of Jupiter's first, second, and third satellites in 1779 ; three solar eclipses, namely, in June, 1778, October, 1780, and April, k?82 ; two lunar eclipses, namely, in May, 1779, and November, 1780 ; and the transit of Mercury in November, 1782.
VI. Observation of the transit of Mercury over the sun, JWow. 12, 1782, at Iñswich. By the Rev. Manasseh Cutler, F.A..A.
The going of the clock was carefully examined, and the times of all the contacts, except the first external, were determined.
VII. A memoir, containing observations of a solar eclipse, October, 27, 1780, made at Beverly : .Also of a lunar eelińse, March 29, 1782 ; of a solar eclifise, Ashril 12, and of the transit of Mercury over the sun's disc, Wovember 12, the same year, made at the firesident's house in Cambridge. By the Rev. Josefin Willard, firesident of the untversity.
Beside his own observations the author of this memoir furnishes
us with those of some other gentlemen, who accompanied him in attending to these phenomena. And having corresponding observations of the first of the said eclipses at Beverly, Chelsea, Penobscott-Bay,and Providence in the state of Rhode-Island, he subjoins their differences of longitude,which he had deduced, and consequently their longitudes from Cambridge, that of Chelsea relatively to Cambridge being known. Hence it appears, that the longitude of Beverly eastward from Cambridge is 1' 11" in time ; that of PenobscottBay 9' 15"; and that of Providence 1' 7" westward. From the times of the contacts of Mercury at the said transit, president Willard, using Mayer's solar tables, and De La Lande's tables of Mercury, calculates the angle of Mercury's apparent way with the ecliptick, the time of the ecliptick conjunction, the errour of the tables in the latitude of Mercury at that time, which appears to be 5".98 in defect. He also deduces the place of Mercury's ascending node, and calculates it from the tables ; whence it appears, that the latter differs from the former 1' 34" in excess, VIII. Observations of a solar eclipse, October 27, 1780, made at St. John's Island, by Messrs. Clarke and Wright. In a letter from Mr. Josefih Peters to Caleb Gannett, .M., M. Rec. Sec, Mmer. Acad. These observations were made at a place called Charlotte-town, which, according to Mr. Wright's determination, is situated in 46° 13 of north latitude, and 62° 50' of west longitude from Greenwich. In this account it is stated on the authority of a gentleman, belonging to Yarmouth-Jebouge-Harbour, on the western coast of Nova-Scotia, that this eclipse, which excited great attention in this part of the country, was total there for a moment.
IX. Observations of a solar ecliffse, October 27, 1780, made at the university in Cambridge. Communicated by Caleb Gannett, A. M.
The observers of this eclipse at Cambridge were the Rev. Professor Wigglesworth, Mr. Gannett, and the Rev. John Mellen. They did not perceive the beginning of the eclipse, but noted very particularly the disappearance and reappearance of various spots, which were then visible on the sun, and the end of the eclipse. And these may be compared with other corresponding observations; some attention having been paid to the passage of the moon's limbs over solar spots by most of the astronomers, who observed the eclipse. The quantity of the eclipse they estimated at 11+ digits.
M. An observation of a solar eclińse, October 27, 1780, at Providence. By Josefth Browne, Esq.
The beginning of the eclipse was not seen, but the times, when the moon's limb first touched certain solar spots, were ascertained, and that of the end was noted by three observers. By measure with a micrometer Mr. Brown determined the quantity of the eclipse to be about 11.3% digits.
XI. Observatians of the solar eclipse of the 27th of October, 1780, made at Wewfort, Rhode-Island, by Alons. de Granchain, Translated
jrom the French, and communicat. ed by the Rev. President Willard. By these observations times are determined, when limbs of the sun and moon, and the sun's horns passed over the vertical and horizontal wires of a telescope, and when the eclipse ended, at a station on Goat-Island in 41° 30' 30" of northern latitude. M. de Granchain also observed the lunar eclipse of the 11th of November, 1780, at the same place. And the memoir contains his observed times of the beginning, immersion, and emersion of certain spots, and the end.
XII. An account of the obser, vations made in Providence, in the state of Rhode-Island, of the eclifise of the sun, which haffened the 23d day of Msiril, 1781. By Benjamin West, Esq. F.A..A.
The quantity of the eclipse and the time of its end were determined. And Mr. West calculated the moon's diameter from the magni. tude of the eclipse and the length of the chord, joining the cusps at the time of greatest obscuration.
XIII. Account of the transit of Mercury, observed at Cambridge, ..Wovember 12, 1782. By James Winthroft, Esq., F.A.M.
Observations of this transit by Judge Winthrop are contained in Professor Williams' account of those, which were made by himself and others. But, in the memoir before us, the author gives a more particular relation, with some additional facts and remarks.
XIV. Observations of an eclipse of the moon, March 29, 1782, and of an eclifise of the sun, on the 12th of Ahril, following, at If.swich, lat. 429 38' 30". By the Rev. Manasseh Cutler, F.A.M.
Relative to the lunar eclipse,

One of the long-term advantages of Android over any other mobile platform is that it is open source. What that means for you is that you can rehash it into a new product, a new ROM. That new operating system may not even look like the Android that was intended for mobile phones.
The problem with Android customization is that at this point it is mostly black magic – almost no documentation exists and your only way of figuring things out is reading the source code, many gigabytes of it.
In this talk we'll explore how to go about customizing Android, and what some of the philosophy behind the organization of the code and the build system is. You will learn at high level how to go about customizing Android by adding custom apps, libraries, daemons, binaries, and other code and resources that go into the operating system. You will also learn about the startup process for a typical Android device and a bit about its security model as it relates to Linux.

Godoy in Washington, D.C., to assist testimony
Angelina Godoy, a professor of international studies and director of the UW Center for Human Rights, was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Nov. 2, to support former political prisoners from El Salvador as they presented complaints before an arm of the Organization of American States.
Carlos Santos, who spoke at the meeting, was one of hundreds of men and women tortured in Salvadoran prisons during the civil war from 1980 to 1992. Salvadoran courts have denied the former prisoners redress, so Santos addressed the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. He is a member the Committee of Political Prisoners of El Salvador. Wednesdays proceedings were the first step, Godoy said, in what will probably be a years-long fight to make El Salvador officially acknowledge that Santos and others like him were wrongfully imprisoned and mistreated.
The 2009 election of Mauricio Funes, of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation party, to the Salvadoran presidency has increased possibilities for dialogue about the past, Godoy said, but none of the officials responsible for war crimes have been brought to justice.
Godoy, who holds the Helen H. Jackson Chair of Human Rights, also plans to introduce the Salvadorans to leaders of various human rights organizations in the Washington area. She is working with members of the Committee of Political Prisoners on a book documenting their experiences. The Center for Human Rights collaboration with the former prisoners is supported by the Puffin Foundation.

Introspection: Behind the Screen
So, if I'm thinking about what makes a good adventure, I'm thinking about what I like and why. I like to run the game, I like to design the world, I like to come up with the outline of the story. It's something I enjoy doing and it's something I think I do pretty well. I get a kick out of designing a story and watching it unfold over the course of several weeks or months (or longer!) as the players peel away the layers of plot.
Since I like to write, to plot, and to play, most times for me, being a player alongside others is difficult. It's hard for me to find the freedom to do exactly what I want within the context of a group, because the group and I have different wants and needs. I can't leave my sense of responsibility behind when I play, which means I feel compelled to fill a role the party's missing — one of the reasons Allandra is a multiclass healer.
"You can't get ye flask." –Some game masters can be like this.
Rather than playing one character and trying to get my character "fix," I like the idea of running multiple characters, even if I only get to flesh them out in my head. I like the idea of being able to create and run the story, rather than waiting for the rest of the group to catch up, or getting stuck in a situation where I have to play a stupid "guess the verb" mini-game with a particularly belligerent or unimaginative game master.

INSTALLING weather radar services in north-west Queensland was among the priorities mayors agreed to fight for at the inaugural meeting of the Northern Alliance of Councils.
The group, which comprises of 27 member councils from Rockhampton, west to Mount Isa and north to the Torres Strait, met in Ingham last week to discuss key priorities for the North Queensland region.
Over 100 delegates attended the NAOC meeting, which represents northern Australia local governments whose area is north of the Tropic of Capricorn, including local governments in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Charters Towers Regional Council Mayor and President of the NAOC Executive Liz Schmidt said the conference aimed to bring together those with a strong interest in the direction of northern Australia in the future.
"This Alliance is a great thing for the North," Cr Schmidt said.
"It provides an opportunity for all the membership councils to network and to work together to influence Federal and State Governments about issues that impact our local areas."
Cr Schmidt said the group had agreed on a number of motions to present to the Local Government Association of Queensland.
These included a proposal from Flinders Shire Council to install a weather radar in the Flinders or southern Gulf area.
Upgrading the Gulf Development Road, requesting state agencies to have greater adherence to council biosecurity plans and better management of the rating impacts on local communities arising from significant land valuation movements were also agreed to.
Cr Schmidt said the group was united in its passion to advance the north.
"The majority of the issues we have in the North are similar to elsewhere, like securing funds for projects, water issues, agricultural issues, land clearing. Those are the kind of things we do have in common.
"It really is understanding that we need to put all our weight behind the north, particularly with the developing Northern Australia white paper.
"It's about having that united voice around all issues of particular significance to the North."
Cr Schmidt said the group was expanding as more people became aware they were active, with the Barcaldine and Rockhampton shires both represented.
She said there had been expressions of interests from the Northern Territory and Western Australia and she hoped they would become more active in the future.
"Certainly having some input from them, whether they are members of not, will not be a bad thing," Cr Schmidt said.

Welcome to this week's Letter from America, we publish another "Nightmare on Timeshare Street" article this week which focuses on Westgate, we welcome our new contributor who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. But first a quick look at the timeshare news from Europe.
Another Judge at the Courts of First Instance Number 2 in Maspalomas has joined other Judges in deciding on a case at the pre-trial stage rather than sending it for a full trial, that now makes Courts numbers 1, 2, 3 and four all following the same route.
Usually the pre-trial stage is used to allow a last minute out of court settlement and deciding if the case warrants a full trial. These courts have now decided that it is a waste of valuable court time to set dates and hold the full trial, the reasoning is that it is a matter of the contracts, they violate the timeshare laws and are cut and dried cases. This will be good news for many clients who are waiting to go to court as it will now speed up the process considerably.
We have heard from another reader who informed us of a company called Litigation Services SL with the company registration number B93268936, they give the address C/ CORONEL RIPOLLET, EDF SANTOS REIN S/N FUENGIROLA (this is a rather seedy street).
The director is listed as CALLE GUDEN DANIEL ERNESTO Appointment: 15/10/2014, but another very old familiar name is also listed although he was dismissed on the above date, SHARIFI DADVAR MAHMOUD REZA.
According to the caller, the courts have seized sizable amounts of money from Timelinx and DWVC (Designer Way Vacation Club) which we know are no longer in existence, Litigation Services SL will help you to claim the money you paid. Obviously they need a fee to process this. The thing is there are no funds waiting at court to be claimed, we also know that in the past this company has had links with the likes of Greenges, Fuengirola Servicios 2000 and our old friends Ramirez and Ramirez.
It would also seem that not only those who had dealings with DWVC are being targeted, but Club Class Concierge clients are being contacted. The story is that there is a court case against them in the Spanish Courts, The company is called Key Legal Claims and they will represent you in court and obtain the money you paid Club Class.
The caller is Emily Carter with the phone number 01212852941. Emily will require a release fee to get the money from the courts, as we have seen in the past this is not the case, there is no money being held by the courts for either of these "Clubs".

My Westgate Timeshare is Up in Smoke!
By a Westgate buyer
October 5, 2018
The peasant of Venice and the Queen of Versailles revisited,
Comments from Irene
The Siegel's "Queen of Versailles" Florida home
Their lavish pad is nine times larger than other houses in the area (90,000 square feet) and has a $20 million mortgage, which is 100 times the size of the average mortgage in Central Florida, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
By a Westgate owner who wishes to remain anonymous. Contact Inside Timeshare if you would like to contact the author.
Wealth Achieved at What Price?
Up in Smoke
I own a Westgate timeshare. I purchased the timeshare in Gatlinburg, Tennessee a while ago. In November 2016 the resort caught fire and my unit was burned to the ground. They are rebuilding, but the new units are totally different from the units being replaced. I am being asked to pay for a unit that has not been built, and given less options for the same money. I don't see how this can be fair, but given the way in which we have been treated, I don't think 'fair' is anything Westgate cares about.
The manner in which I was induced to sign the original contract attests to this:
The timeshare would be a great investment because it is real estate,
- I could sell it,
- I could rent it to make my money back,
- I could get a tax break, the same as a homeowner,
- I could get a loan to pay off my loan because it was an investment.
Westgate sales agent Zak told us it was best to buy low because in years to come the value of the property would increase. He provided an example of one of the original owners that purchased paying only $3000, and then showed me what the property is worth today. I now know timeshares are a liability, almost impossible to sell for even pennies on the dollar. The salesman misrepresented pretty much everything to make the sale.
Timeshares are not the same as real estate, and with little to no secondary market, not an investment. Many timeshares, including Westgate, can be bought online for $1. The market is flooded with timeshares and it is almost impossible to rent them out. Tax deductions are not allowed.
I relied on what the sales agent said. Now I am left with payments for something that is not what was described. Based on my experience, the poorly regulated timeshare product benefits only the sales agent, in the form of commissions, and the timeshare company, who apparently has amassed a fortune at our expense.
Our timeshare sale began with deception. A mandatory update, which is not mandatory, stated it would last 30 minutes, but it was a sales presentation that lasted 4 hours. They didn't care about my sightseeing tour plans ruined. There has never been a time when staying at a Westgate vacation resort that I have not been pressured by employees trying to sell or upgrade me to a pricier unit. Despite making loan payments every month plus maintenance fees, before you can even use the week, you have to undergo the pressure imposed by a Westgate employee, taking up one of your vacation days, trying to sell you something that you don't want or need.
When I think about my Westgate experience these last five years, listening to sales agents making promises unfulfilled, having spent thousands of dollars, what I have is worth nothing. This has been a nightmare.
I have tried to contact Westgate to talk about my concerns. They strung me along for months and months saying they'd get back to me. Eventually, their paralegal wrote a generic cut and paste letter stating that I had signed a contract so that was that. This is the level of care Westgate shows its owners?
Their home is 90,000 Square feet?
Thank you to this Westgate owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, but has provided their contact information should others wish to contact them through Inside Timeshare. These are member accounts hoping to warn others to know that what they bought is probably worth nothing. The timeshare developer is always welcome to present their side of the argument.
My question to timeshare developers is, how much is enough? Inside Timeshare has heard from 609 timeshare members and owners, many families financially devastated, alleging unfair and deceptive sales practices. Most signed off on high interest loans.
We thank timeshare members for submitting their experiences in the hope of warning those thinking about buying a timeshare, to be aware the purchase they are about to make can have devastating financial consequences.
What house, condo, boat or car would you buy that could not be resold? What would happen to the residential home market if buyers learned after their purchase, the "asset" they bought had no secondary market? It is not uncommon for Inside Timeshare to hear from timeshare buyers who paid $100,000 or more for a timeshare, easily the cost of a condo or home. Timeshares are hard enough to sell, but almost impossible with a loan attached. You can sell a house or a car with a loan, but not a timeshare.
You can rent the documentary "The Queen of Versailles" from Netflix, about the 90,000 square foot home being built in Orlando by Westgate owners David and Jackie Siegel. The documentary took Best Director at Sundance some years ago.
As a former stockbroker, I have no objection to great wealth, but given the Dashiell's articles submitted last week and today's article by a Westgate owner, I ask, "Wealth at what price?"
I have heard from Carolyn Willis, a third Westgate buyer, whose timeshare went "Up in Smoke" also, angry beyond words.
The Siegel's 90,000 square foot house led to my timeshare advocacy efforts. I attended a pathetically aggressive timeshare sales presentation July 2015. When I returned to our unit, I turned on the television and happened to tune into Las Vegas attorney Bob Massi's FOX show Property Man, featuring the Siegel house. Disgusted with what I had just experienced, I wrote to Mr. Massi. About a month later the FOX producer called me and said they had received a flood of timeshare complaints. The producer said the segment was not even about timeshare, but about the Siegel's palatial home. She said Mr. Massi is a friend of the Siegels. I was the only respondent invited to be interviewed by Mr. Massi. She said I was selected because I was the only respondent who said I wanted to talk about the positives of timeshare and not just the negatives.
My house in Venice 1,770 square feet
Sometimes it takes a peasant revolt.
I described my timeshare presentation experience in fairytale format. My husband and I were in between homes, moving from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Venice, Florida. The comparison was irresistible, so I christened myself the peasant of Venice, as my LinkedIn profile describes.
Contact Inside Timeshare if you have a timeshare experience to share. We know there are many who use and enjoy their timeshare. They may not be aware that timeshares often have virtually no secondary market. Many reaching out to us only learned this when life circumstances prompted them to look into selling their timeshare. Timeshare companies list the lack of a secondary market as a risk to shareholders in their annual reports. There is little empathy for the timeshare buyer who has spent thousands of dollars only to learn their timeshare is, by design, worth nothing. Greenhaven Capital Management touted the lack of a secondary market as a benefit for private equity investors. In a moment of anger, I wrote this mock interview after reading about Greenhaven, touting the timeshare stock BECAUSE of no secondary market. I find this shameful.
My apologies to British comedians Bird and Fortune
Do not pay anyone money upfront to get out of a timeshare without checking with Inside Timeshare or one of these self-help groups. You will find straight answers at no cost on these sites.
That's it for this week, remember if you have been contacted by any company with a story that your timeshare company or club has been taken to court and there is money waiting for you, it will be a scam. If you need any help in checking the validity of any company that contacts you or one that you have found on the internet or advert, then use our contact page and we will point you in the right direction.
Have a great weekend and join us again next week.

One fun trick that you can do to your friends is to make them believe that they are getting website visitors from some important persons website. This is nothing nasty of course, it's just a way to play with your friend and get them excited for nothing. The possibilities are pretty much endless, but we had a good laugh trying this with a few bloggers that we know personally. Of course we told them what was realy going on afterwards to clear out the amusing confusion. Basically everyone has some kind of analytics software running in the background so that you know who is visiting your website and most importantly where they are coming from.
For Google search this statistic is not very accurate because of encryption that they use, which blocks the actual keyword people are using to find your website. Unless the person doing the search doesn't support encryption for the search, it will show you all the details of the referral keyword. As for other referral origins, you can see pretty clearly where everyone is coming from and entering the blog or website. To change the statistic, we need to Fake Referrer URL and make it exactly what we want.
While there are all kinds of free scripts available, firstly half of them don't even work. And the other half is just too much of a trouble to set up. For a working method, check out the link above for a detailed step-by-step instruction on how to get things going in no time at all.
It's possible to use your own custom URL or make it seem liked the referred website is Blogger, DuckDuckGo, Twitter and many others. The possibilities are huge and the setup is reasonably easy. Once you have gone trough the instructions in that link, it's time to test out what your friend thinks of people coming from a famous movie production website for example. Just hope he doesn't get too excited as it will be rather awkward when he hears the news. Perhaps their success is further away than they might think it is!
Basically you get your on referral URL, which is used every time to point a click to the website. This is necessary to create the fake statistics for web analytics of the page. As for actually getting those visitors, you can try sharing the URL in social media as well as put it onto websites and blog posts where people might click on the link. If you need any more advice, just ask me and I will be more than a happy bunny to help. Or let us know in the comments of what kind of fun did you have with this fake referral method!

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of School Specialty.
Curious young environmentalists with a love for fans will love building a wind turbine to explore wind as a renewable energy source while learning the physics of force and motion thanks to the Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit. The kit contains various parts that can be used to conduct 20 different experiments for ages 8 and up. While building the turbine, they'll get a hands-on lesson on how mechanical energy can be harnessed to lift weights, learn the physics of wind turbines and experiment with different turbine blades of different materials and weights, and better understand how wind can serve as a source of sustainable energy.
Over the weekend, 8 year old Captain Computer and I sat down to assemble our turbine. We cleared off the kitchen table and opened the bag, spilling 121 different parts across the tablecloth. We examined the pieces and then opened up the direction booklet.
Experiment Manual and Direction Booklet
The Experiment Manual that contains the directions does a nice job of providing lots of background information for kids as they're getting started with their building. The first 9 pages of the booklet cover topics like air in motion, renewable energy, and windmills of yesterday and today to lead into a section called Your Windmill that prepares kids for building.
I loved the format of the booklet that combines the directions for assembly with non-fiction text that allow kids to understand the importance of what they're doing as they're assembling the wind turbine. One side of the booklet contains the experiment with fabulous illustrations while the other side outlines the directions with text and diagrams. While I liked the format as a parent and former educator, all the information was a bit too much for Captain Computer. I think he would have preferred the directions and experiments to occupy two distinct sections of the book, instead of blending together on opposite sides of the page. Emily, my almost 11 year old 5th grader, found it a bit less confusing.
But once the windmill is assembled, the Experiment Manual presents experiments with information that helps kids understand the science behind what they're doing.
Assembling our wind turbine ended up being a whole family affair. Captain Computer loved assembling the windmill. He read up on the different kinds of blades that were included in the kit and chose the lighter soft plastic blades, rather than the dark blue hard plastic blades.
When he got up from the table to take a break from building, Emily stepped in to put together the components for mounting the fan. She got as far as inserting the gears before my husband wanted to build. He finished the frame and Captain Computer came back to mount the windmill to it and created his own stand.
Experimenting with our Wind Turbine
There are over 20 different experiments that can be done with the Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit. The most interesting to Captain Computer after getting everything put together was Experiment 2- The Windmill Lifts a Weight.
In this video, Captain Computer shares his experience with the Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit in his own words and shows you how a windmill can be used to lift a weight.
We've only had our windmill assembled for a couple days but it's something that has captivated the kids' interest. They've seen wind turbines at work and now thanks to the Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit, better understand how wind can be harnessed as a source of energy.
Depending on the age and skill of your child, this may or may not be a project they can complete independently. We loved doing it as a family activity, where each child took on a part of the building process to share in something that we can use together to better understand the science behind using wind as renewable energy.
The Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit retails for $76.45 and is available from School Specialty.
I received the Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Renewable Energy Science Kit from School Specialty to review and was compensated for my time in sharing our family's experience but all opinions are my own.

Prostate cancer kills one man every hour: not just dads, but brothers, granddads, sons, nephews and uncles. Over 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.
Testicular self examination (TSE) is a quick and easy way to make sure that there are not any unusual lumps, bumps or changes in skin texture that should not be there. These can often be the first sign of testicular cancer but may be a symptom of non cancerous conditions that can occur within the testicles.
Treatment for testicular cancer includes surgical removal of the affected testicle and chemotherapy. Both treatments have side effects which can affect sexual function, but there are ways in which sexual problems can be overcome should they occur.
Can exercise stop Prostate cancer from spreading? New research sets out to discover if exercise is effective way to slow or stop the spread of cancer.
Sex toys will not treat the cause of ED but can help you experience sexual pleasure and arousal, in addition to enabling you to enjoy sexual intimacy when coital sex may not be possible.
Research has shown that an orgasm a day can reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer by 22% so use this excuse to enjoy more sexual pleasure with a sex toy designed just for this!
A study conducted at the University of Texas Health Science Centre in 2013 found that eating walnuts can help to fight prostate cancer. Walnuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E in the form of gamma-tocopherol, beneficial for a healthy heart and for fighting inflammation.
Using a penis pump can benefit the sexual health of men who have erectile dysfunction. It can also help men from developing erectile dysfunction by maintaining good penis health and improve the quality of erections and the strength of orgasms.

We all know that carrots can help your eyesight, but researchers have discovered that they can improve the fertility of men too.
According to a study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise led by a researcher at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, men who exercise infrequently are more likely to wake up at night to urinate, a condition known as nocturia (Wolin et al 2014).
Peyronie's Disease is a condition where patches of scar tissues or fibrous plaques develop along the shaft of the penis, resulting in bending or deformity of the penis, painful erections and difficulties in having sexual intercourse.
Many research studies have looked at the physical and psychological effect premature ejaculation (PE) has upon the health of men, but it can cause significant psychological strain for women too.
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition affecting about 30-40% of men according to Relate. It often remains undiagnosed and untreated because the sensitive nature of the problem discourages open discussion between the affected man, his partner and their doctor.
According to research at the University of Adelaide in Australia, men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) can successfully reverse the effects of their problem by making lifestyle changes and avoid the need for medication.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) becomes more common as men age but it is not necessarily a normal part of ageing. In the UK, 20 men out of every 100 will experience erectile dysfunction problems of some sort during their lives.
Men experience a type of menopause, just like women, called andropause. This has a slower onset than the menopause and tends to creep up on men in their middle age.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is generally considered a condition only affecting older men but recent research has found that sexual performance problems are far more prevalent among men under 40 years than previously thought.
Sexual health expert Nicci Talbot advises about how to deal with the issue of Erectile Dysfunction.
We have created this health brochure containing suitable products that exercise the penis to improve and promote erectile function in addition to offering pleasurable sexual stimulation and sensation to help those with erectile dysfunction and to prevent it. They can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, medication and conventional medical treatment.

I love love love having shellac nails- the varnish just keeps your nails looking fab and shiny for ten times longer than standard polish! That's why I normally always get a shellac mani and pedi before any holiday so I know I won't suffer from any bare or ugly chipped nails while i'm beaching it up. Unfortunately I'm not going anywhere abroad soon… instead the beauty pamper was an Easter present from my lovely mum and I decided to make use of it in preparation for my sister's birthday celebration in Bournemouth.
I went for a bold coral shade on my fingers and peachy coloured toes… topped with glitter of course. I thought everyone who would be out on Saturday night would appreciate these summery statement nails because I just loved them.
I had already planned on wearing my peep-toe strappy heels so couldn't resist designing my toes to sparkle the night away. Pastel shades are the ultimate holiday paint and with a little glitter it can take them from the beach to the cocktail bar. You will definitely see these shimmering bad boys out for Ibiza this summer!
And if getting our nails done wasn't enough pamper time for me and my sister, we treated our hangovers to a relaxing spa day at Norton Park in Winchester on the Sunday. We thought we deserved a massage and facial after all that dancing and champagne in Bournemouth. 😛
Hope you all have a lovely week!
Love Leeanna xo

SMILE Weatherization Coordinator Venice Roberts shows client Shelia Sturgis an attic tent, which conserves energy and decreases costs. | Photo by Susannah Malbreau
Change is in the air at SMILE Community Action Agency. The non-profit received a $3 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant for its weatherization program. With the needed boost in funding Louisiana-based SMILE can increase its reach.
SMILE targets five unique parishes, helping locals conserve energy and save money. Venice Roberts, who both coordinates and implements SMILEs weatherization program says there's been a surge in interest and applications, "Everything has changed tremendously. There's been an abundance of people calling about weatherization."
SMILE plans to use part of the funding to increase their local outreach. Venice says more frequent town hall forums will help SMILE promote the benefits of weatherization. By increasing awareness SMILE hopes to make experiences like that of client Sheila Sturgis a reality for more residents.
Sheila is one of many local residents who've participated in SMILE's weatherization program. Her home in Scott has been upgraded with insulation, caulking, solar screens on the windows, and low-flow faucets.
"It was a very good experience, they did a good job and were professional" says Sheila of the weatherization work done on her home. Sheila says after the upgrades her energy bill has decreased by 20 percent, "It's really saving us a lot of money." She adds "I would recommend it to others and yes I have passed it along."

JD always tells business owners that these days, their "Director Of First Impressions" is no longer the receptionist who answers the phone.
She has long ago been relegated to "second base".
Your "Director Of First Impressions" is now YOUR WEBSITE!
It's the very first port of call for 99% of your prospects – so it's VITAL that it appropriately reflects your "brand persona" – & "SELLS".
If your "brand personality" is upmarket like BMW, you need your website to communicate this.
If your business is more suited to a "working class" audience, then your website should probably communicate a more "K Mart demeanour" – it's simply horses for courses.
Simple for us – but you'd be amazed to learn that the vast majority of businesses GET IT WRONG.
The Institute Of Wow works closely with Australia's leading "direct-response" website company – which specialises in providing sites that SELL.
So when you join "the Wow environment", part of the many advantages you'll enjoy is the access to JD's "secret weapon" when it comes to creating "websites that SELL!"
JD "designs" the components & "look" of the site – & his "secret weapon" design studio MAKES IT HAPPEN.
Here's Why Our Websites GET RESULTS!
The reason the websites that we design result in more sales for our clients is because we're marketeers, not just graphic artists or techie-geeks. It may sound strange for us to say this, but the last people in the world that you want working on revamping your website are graphic artists or geeks.
Let's just start with the most important component of your website – your home page. You need to consider your website as the "online advertising brochure for your business" – it's that plain and simple.
Just consider it as an electronic version of the brochures that you may have been letterbox distributing for the last 10 or 20 years, only in this instance, you can include fantastic things like video content and valuable links to other websites and information.
But just as the front cover of your letterbox brochures was the most important part of those documents, so too is the home page of your website .
And if you look at most of your competitors' (or any websites for that matter) you will see that their home page is awful. This means there's a terrific opportunity for you to steal market share if you create a home page and a website which is "sales driven".
Just as popular women's magazines (such as Woman's day, New Idea and Woman's Weekly) treat their front cover as the most important page of the publication, you need to do likewise with the front cover (ie: home page) of your website!
See how JD's creativity transformed this "educational mine tour" (that was presented in a rather mundane, sleepy fashion) into a "Disney-type" adventure that the whole family would enjoy!
Wow! Now here's a classic example of turning "bland" into "GRAND!"
We Perform WEBSITE MAKEOVERS that Get CONVERSIONS!
You only have to look at the "before and afters" here to recognise the stunning TRANSFORMATIONS that we provide for clients. I guess you could say that we are specialists at turning "bland" into "grand" – adding not only the important direct response features to our clients' websites, but also the appropriate theatre and ambience that their particular business can benefit from.
In other words, we are "theming experts" as well as "marketing specialists".
A classic case of the previous webpage "possibly looking modern" – but NOT really saying anything. In other words, the previous homepage was merely a pretty picture with NO sales messages or "direct-response" inclusions.
JD comes along & instantly, the webpage changes to become a 24/7 "sales machine!" (Hint – it's no good simply "looking good" – you need to SELL from your website!)
Your MUST-HAVE Components
For Your Website Homepage
Because we want to deliver a "website that gets results", here's the important components that we recommend you must have on your home page.
- A compelling problem/solution headline that evokes intrigue and captures the prospects attention.
- Persuasive explanatory copy under the headline that sends 'chilling thoughts' though your prospects minds and aggravates the problem.
- If that's not enough, we then use images to 'nail down' the message for maximum impact.
- A welcome video that quickly explains the benefits that your products or services provide. (If you're not comfortable in front of a camera, maybe someone can represent you or perhaps you may choose to have a doodle video, using the compelling fast drawing technique).
- We then tell your prospects the benefits through images and copy.
- Call to Action and/or a data capture facility such as a free report. (The idea being to get the contact details of as many website visitors as possible).We can integrate your new website with any customer relationship management system (CRM) you have such as Infusionsoft, Aweber, Mail Chimp and so on.
- Video testimonials from clients saying how wonderful your products or services are.
- More compelling reasons why they should support your business.
Aside from being complimented on turning our clients' website from "boring" information portals to "dynamic conversion machines", we are constantly complimented on how fast we turn around such website transformations.

Discover How to Return Your Website
Into a 24/7 Sales Machine!
Watch the short 60 second video above & you'll see "JD's marketing magic performed right before your eyes".
It's his incredible fast layout of a client's NEW website homepage – for "French themed" La Crust Bakery.
This café/bakery had a rather staid website previously, one that didn't really project the "authentic French demeanour".
So JD fixed that in a heartbeat – & the 60 second video above will show you that.
JD then advised the owners to letterbox deliver DL size brochures to nearby homes, promoting a High Tea & other NEW menu items – & sending householders to the NEW website to learn more.
The result? An INSTANT increase in weekly sales from $2,700 to OVER $9,000… a stunning transformation in every sense!!
The 'other result" was a very happy baker!!
Imagine getting a "personally designed" direct-response homepage created by one of the world's top marketers – Specifically customised for YOUR products or services!
And then that layout acts as the basis for the metamorphosis of your website!
Get ready for a NEW look & a NEW "sales machine!"
See below some samples of JD's wizardry.
"The figures speak for themselves.Before we became part of John's "wow environment", our annual profit was about $120,000 a year.
Within 18 months of being involved with John's coaching ideas, our profit within 18 months, grew to an annual rate of $440,000 a year!
That increased the value of our business fourfold – an outstanding result!
His system is applicable to any business-type."
– Steve Fenton
Cafe St Tropez,
Gold Coast. Australia
"John's ideas are simply inspiring, they are very different and he thinks way outside the square. He provides practical "client attraction" solutions that get results.And the great thing is that he has created "marketing formulas" that are easy to swipe and use for your own business. In other words, any business owner can grab these concepts and use them to attract new clients.Make no mistake, John's ideas will help you "cut through the clutter" and any business owner can benefit by getting hold of his wisdom."
- Lisa Taylor
Newcastle Knights Rugby League Club.
NSW. Australia
"Our sauna massage business has improved leaps & bounds since we invested in John's advice. His "client attraction system" is incredible – we've followed his formula & the results have been "instantaneous!"We wish we had come across his marketing wizardry years ago – but we're sure glad we've now found him.
His ideas are just brilliant & his "direct response" concepts mean that we can turn "the customer tap" on whenever we want. His stuff is an invaluable resource for any business owner." A very nice problem to have I can assure you!"

The Swimming Pool
Heated outdoor swimming pool is operational from the end of May to early September. We like to keep it at a very pleasant 82 degrees.

Rather than giving a set time the pool is shared between the 3 properties and our family.
The Tennis Court
Great for a game of recreational tennis, popular in the summer months especially around Wimbledon! You can book a slot in the book kept in The Cowshed. If you forget your own racquets and tennis balls please ask to borrow some.
Woodland Walk & Wildlife Hide
Around the perimeter of the field we have mown a track which winds through the trees taking you up to the wildlife hide and the old oast ponds. There are cherry trees, hazelnut, walnut and apple trees and you are welcome to pick your own. The wildlife hide overlooks the pond and an active badger sett which if you sit quietly as dusk falls you are usually able to spot some of our resident badgers of Brockamin.
Outdoor Play Area
The spacious back lawn has a goalies net and there is a large unnetted trampoline located between the tennis court and swimming pool.
We have a number of fruit trees, herbs, horseradish, blackberries, damsons. Ask Louise where and when is the best place to pick your own.

How To Setup A Dash Cam
Setting up a dash cam is not for the dim-witted. It means that you will need to be an intermediate at car repair to set up your own dash cam. Setting up a dash cam would include wiring within the bars of it. You would need the knowledge of car wiring system and some experience in it. If you have both, let's proceed with the steps of how to set up your own dash cam:
Step 1: Decide Where To Fit It
The first step is deciding where to fit your dash cam. It should be out of your driving sight. Adding it in your eyesight will reduce the view and may cause accidents. The front mirror is normally in the middle of the front portion of the car. Place the dash cam down the mirror. It will keep it well out of your view and still record everything perfectly.
Step 2: Locate The Fuse Box
The front panel of the car has a fuse box installed in it. Your second step would be finding its location. Different type of cars has different types of setup. Most common is the removable panel setting. At the front panel, the fuse box is normally situated below the carrier box. It's covered with a lid that you might need to remove temporarily to complete the connection.
Step 3: Start the Routing Process
To start the routing process, always remember to look at the manuals of both your car and the dash cam. Find which wire goes where. Take the power cable from your dash cam and find the internal wiring system of your car. It is a removable side that has space inside for internal wirings. Find that panel and get the power wire to the below fuse box panel.
Step 4: Find The Suitable Fuse
There may be many types of fuses in a car. Some might be always turned on and some might start at engine start. Find a fuse that starts with the car and stops with it. To do that, use a voltage tester. It will let you find out the fuse that stays awake at vehicle start.
Step 5: Add Your Power Cable
This is the final step of your setup and the most important one. Do this with caution and do it precisely. Because a misfit might be the cause of an accident in the future. Read the manual again to be hundred percent sure. To add the cable, take the fuse out carefully. Add the power cable to the desired space as you need to. Reconnect the fuse with the box and make sure it's tightly connected. Ground the end wire with your car. If you have done that, close the fuse box and check if the power is available or not. If it is, congratulations! You have successfully installed your dash cam on your own!

It takes a sizable set of balls for a car-chase movie like Need for Speed to feature an early scene in which characters are gathered at a drive-in, watching Bullitt. The 1968 Steve McQueen cop drama featured one of the most legendary car chases in cinema history through the streets of San Francisco, and while showing a piece of that scene might be considered a hat-tip of respect, it's a metaphorical demonstration of swagger as loud as cars revving at the starting line.
"Here's the grand tradition of men and their motors," Need for Speed announces, "and we belong here."
But there's another sense in which that comparison is a risky one: placing Aaron Paul in the same tradition as Steve McQueen. Because as gifted as Paul has shown himself to be, whether in his run on Breaking Bad or in his subsequent indie-film showcase roles like Smashed, there's a difference between being an actor and being a leading man.
A movie like Need for Speed, giving Paul his first above-the-title multiplex starring role, certainly depends on energetic showpieces for the vehicles, but it also depends on a certain alpha-male "it" factor in the driver's seat. Does Paul have "it"?
Director Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) certainly gives us every indication that we're supposed to think so, introducing Paul's character, Tobey Marshall, with a sweeping hero-pose shot up Paul's body. Marshall's a gear-head in upstate New York trying to keep the family body shop afloat while scratching out extra money in late-night street races. But his need for cash to save the business leads to an encounter with one-time rival-turned-pro racer Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) that ends tragically, with Marshall headed to jail.
Two years later, his shot at redemption is facing Brewster in a secret high-stakes race, one that requires driving a legendary, valuable, souped-up Mustang cross-country, with the passenger seat occupied by Julia (Imogen Poots), a representative of the car's owner.
Yes, that's a crap-load of plot for a fast-driving action narrative, and screenwriter George Gatins takes plenty of time building to the centerpiece coast-to-coast journey, with Marshall's willing wing-men (Scott Mescudi, Rami Malek and Ramon Rodriguez) providing cover and support. It's thick with setting up supporting characters — like Marshall's ex-girlfriend/now Brewster's girlfriend, Anita (Dakota Johnson) — who ultimately don't matter all that much, and trying to mimic that "we're all tough guys, but we're also family" vibe from the Fast & Furious series. Movies about crazy-fast cars driven crazily sure have gotten sensitive all of a sudden.
When veteran stunt coordinator Waugh gets down to the fully analog road action, though, Need for Speed proves surprisingly muscular. The plot throws in pieces of other cranked-up road trip movies from Vanishing Point to Smokey and the Bandit to Thelma & Louise, and generally shows that it belongs with the big boys and girls.
Marshall and Julia try to dodge both the police and the guys trying to earn the bounty that Brewster has placed on their heads. Our heroes blast through both urban streets and rural back roads with a satisfying down-to-earth physicality to the chases and escapes.
It gets both loonier and more conventional by the time the climactic race rolls around, with Michael Keaton providing giddy play-by-play as the race's mysterious maestro, but there's a nuts-and-bolts simplicity to the metal-crunching and wheel-burning, edited together in such a way that, amazingly, you can actually tell what's going on.
And then there's the stuff that happens when cars aren't blasting along at a couple hundred miles an hour, and that's where Paul has to be the anchor. He just doesn't feel like one, though. The gravelly voice and three-day growth of beard try to deliver the requisite badassitude, and he shows a solid chemistry with Poots. Yet Poots also demonstrates a charismatic quality that Paul just doesn't match; he feels like a character uncomfortably wearing "action hero" like it's a suit that's the wrong size.
Paul's a terrific acting talent, but there's a different set of muscles required to carry a movie like Need for Speed. If you want to know what those muscles look like, the drive-in sequence at the beginning has a rental suggestion for you.

It's Halloween now, and I'm sitting at work eating all the candy that people keep refusing. The clientele here is what we young, hip cats like to refer to as, "old farts." Z had the brilliant idea last night that I should come to work wearing black clothing and covered in postage stamps, or "blackmail." After first thinking the idea to be brilliant, I realized that having to explain to people what I was would be a chore. Oh, and also, I work in the ghetto. I don't want anyone to overhear me saying "I'm blackmail!" and take it the wrong way. I'm not racist.
I've spent my entire shift dicking around on my iPod trying to conserve some space, and reading a new book. What book, you ask? Well…
Back in the great, distant era of erm…the mid-'90s, there was a chap by the name of Julian Cope (ex-Teardrop Explodes/music-writer geek), who decided he wanted to chronicle the history of the Krautorck genre. So, he wrote an excellent book, called Krautrocksampler, in which he not only tells readers exactly when and wear he bought all these much-sought-after-now-sadly out-of-print LPs, but paints a great picture of West Germany in the '60s and '70s. When he's not waxing (his bikini) poetic, he recounts crazy stories, and draws very cool connections between projects and personalities. Cope even proclaims that Klaus Dinger "directly influenced David Bowie to take his Low direction" and "had a direct effect on the Sex Pistols, via Johnny Rotten". Thassalotta influence!
Unfortunately, the book–much like oft-drooled-over records of the era–is out of print. But the version Ian sent me to read today has survived and been passed-down between generations (okay, not passed-down between generations, but e-mailed between friends) in a sort-of post-Soviet technological samizdat! And, since I clearly have no idea what a copyright is, I'm going to allow you all to download the PDF files of the book directly from me. If that doesn't leave me wide-open for a lawsuit, I don't know what does! But hey, if you want to spend $174.95 for a copy of this book, be my guest! NOTE: IF YOU ARE JULIAN COPE (OR REPRESENT JULIAN COPE, OR PUBLISHED THIS BOOK) AND YOU WOULD LIKE THIS INFORMATION REMOVED, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY, AND I WILL SWIFTLY AND GLADLY COMPLY (and, consequently, deprive literally TENS of fanboys from learning more about the bands they love).

Today we celebrate the biting social criticism, the outside-the-box perspective and the occasional joke that you've come to know as Like You've Got Something Better To Do. For the last 156 weeks, I've brought you Humboldt County's funniest, most irreverent and intellectually challenging blog. I realize I don't have a lot of competition in those areas, but it's nice to be the big fish in a very small pond. I just hope some dope yuppie doesn't decide to drain it, to water his marijuana crop.
Speaking of marijuana, which we never stop doing here in Humboldt County, if marijuana is a consciousness expanding drug, how do you explain all of the small minded people in Humboldt County? Yes, we have plenty of marijuana around here, but not nearly enough stoned ideas.
Anywhere else, people spend enormous amounts of money on small quantities of marijuana, just so they can think stoned thoughts. Here, we have plenty of marijuana, and all people think about is money. That's why lygsbtd is so vital to this community. Without stoned ideas, Humboldt County is just West Virginia with pot farms instead of coal mines.
Here at lygsbtd, I know that marijuana is for getting high, not for getting rich. No one gets rich from marijuana; people get rich from prohibition. While drug-war profiteers drain salmon streams and destroy habitat just to squeeze a few more drops of blood from prohibition as it heaves its last dying gasp, I use marijuana as fertilizer, to raise a bumper crop of stoned ideas, because stoned ideas have the power to change the world. That's why I started lygsbtd, wayyyy back in May of 2011.
Stoned ideas matter. Stoned ideas matter, because stoned ideas are natural ideas. Stoned ideas tell the truth because stoned ideas are too stoned to lie. You don't learn stoned ideas in school. You don't get stoned ideas from advertizing, and you sure won't hear stoned ideas from politicians. You might find stoned ideas in books, hear them in music or read them in blogs like this one, but you'll only recognize a stoned idea if you are stoned enough yourself.
On the auspicious occasion of the third anniversary of this blog Like You've Got Something Better To Do, I hereby renew my sacred vow to keep stoned ideas alive, and I ask you, Dear Reader to do the same. These days, our minds face a constant assault from toxic, synthetic corporate concepts, pop-media junk thoughts and stale old-fashioned prejudices. Only by vigorously thinking stoned thoughts can we protect ourselves from developing a crippling thought disorder, like Beatlemania, Libertarianism, or Christianity.
We need stoned thoughts, and we need each other. Every time you read one of these posts, stoned thinking grows stronger. Every time you read a post at lygsbtd, the forces of darkness diminish. Every sentence you read here liberates a consciousness from the slavery of corporate brainwashing. Thank you Dear Reader for making this blog a beacon of stoned thinking, shining unto the world.
Every week, thousands of you, from all over the English speaking world, park your browsers at this URL. Even though you can't be bothered to leave a comment, or even click the goddamned "like" button, I know from my statistics that you are out there, staring silently, impassively, like rubbernecking gawkers at a bad traffic accident, looking for blood.
…And I give it to you. Every week I open this vein. Every week I pour myself out for you, because I know thirst. I know what it is like to search for stoned ideas, for kindred spirits, for signs of life among the ruins of our shattered culture. I know how barren, vapid and desolate the internet is. I know that you need this blog, and cling to it the way a drowning man clings to a life preserver.
That's why I never miss a week. I see the impact that lygsbtd has on people's lives. For instance:
1. Two years in a row, lygsbtd has ranked in the top 5 blogs in Humboldt County in the North Coast Journal's "Best of Humboldt" readers poll.
2. Posts from this blog have been republished in such diverse outlets as Fifth Estate Magazine, Vermont Progressives, Thai Style Living and Lost Coast Outpost.
3. If you "google" lygsbtd, you'll find at least 9 pages of web results that reference this blog.
This blog matters, and because this blog matters to you, it matters to me.
So, as we move into the fourth year of lygsbtd, let's make a mountain of this molehill.
Email your favorite lygsbtd post to a friend who may not have discovered it yet. Share a lygsbtd post on fb.
Tweet about something you read here.
Don't just passively consume this blog…
…become a Like You've Got Something Better To Do activist.
Stop sitting on the sidelines gawking at the destruction,
and help stoned thinking go viral.
Share these stoned ideas and help change the world.
Like you've got something better to do.
