Of course, in this case, the worst possible thing for me, is being on the same page as a Genesis review… Amazon Related:

He’s also in one of my favourite bits from the film “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” About half-way through the clip below he’s one of the two gas station attendants who witness and barely survive the destruction of the gas station by the truck driver. I particularly like the phrase,
…which we used to recite at school in some bizarre ritual as we’d mentally run through the whole script of the film. (Even now, phrases still pop into my mind from the film, which was under-rated and heavily cut many times probably because they tried to get every single comedy cliché and star of the day into it…) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KltCEke-dTg Amazon Related:

Thanks for everyone’s input in my absence. I’ve now got a stack of comments to moderate and will very soon be back in action! Amazon Related:

Pacific Webworks, Lawyers and Social NetworkingIntroductionThe last thing we need is more scummy scammers and following on from Google’s legal action against Pacific Webworks (PWW) one would naively have thought that the “business” folk would be more circumspect. (See previous article and comments, http://strangelyperfect.tv/5146/more-on-google-profits-and-pacific-webworks/ ) At the beginning of June, it appeared that the Google case against PWW had fallen flat and that PWW had gotten away with it. This certainly appears so from yesterday’s press announcement by the odious PWW management, such as here. It says,
Quite BadThis looks quite bad until you realise that the PWW share price and dealing volumes have both fallen! So what does the market know about the “settlement” that we don’t, eh? Bloosky.com and The lawyerPWW and Bloosky, were both named by Google, and Bloosky were (and still are) represented by Blair Jackson, who is a lawyer and on the company payroll of Bloosky in various positions. (See at the bottom of here). On checking out Mr Jackson, he’s part of: CHRISTIANSEN & JACKSON, P.C. You can see this on some delaying action in the Google case by Jackson for Bloosky, documents here and here. But it gets better… In this document, you’ll see that Bloosky are suing someone called Daniel L. Balsam for not adhering to an earlier agreement not to disclose what was said… or something. (I’ve yet to check this through! But it looks a bit like pot-kettle-black to me…) Whatever. socialtoolkit.comYes. Whatever. A bit more fishing on Jackson took me to the website(s) of one Vernon Howard. He was scammed by socialtoolkit.com, in exactly the same way as thousands of others were by Google Treasure Chest – promoted, run, designed and financed by Pacific Webworks. It’s a scammers paradise with copious bad-web references and complaints. The “business” says on it’s website,
Here’s Vernon’s extremely well written story:
It’s an incredibly detailed tale, complete with copious screenshots, of his dealings with the various parties involved. And he’s no shrinking violet. He’s taking the buggers on! There’s only one trouble.
How is this Weird?Weird? It’s positively scary!
YourProfitGateway.com, when you check it’s (now freely accessible) WHOIS, unsurprisingly redirects to http://www.visualwebtools.com/site/ visualwebtools.comIf you’ve been following this, you’ll know from a while back that Visual WebTools is owned and run by…….. (trumpet fanfare)
Latest News from The Visual WebTools CampPacific WebWorks Updates Marketing EffortsThursday June 24, 2010 11:52:01 EDT SALT LAKE CITY, Jun 24, 2010 Last Thursday, this is what the odious CEO Ken Bell of PWW said about his company, their marketing and their product, Visual WebTools.
CEO Ken Bell stated,
Bell continued,
What are Google Doing?The emphasis above, is mine. From it, you can clearly see that Bell claims that his company is responsible for all the things that lead up to the nefarious practices that then lead to people being scammed. So is the Google thing over with yet? Why haven’t the Salt Lake Tribune said anything about it yet? I still think there’s more to come out with this. Remember the falling share price of PWW? The markets know, you know. Amazon Related:
Related Posts by TagsFrench Resistance: de Gaulle in London.(This posting originally released on 16 Dec 2007. Reposted and edited because of the subject’s death.) This is a BBC News article on the women of the French Resistance who worked with De Gaulle in London and then went to Paris with him for the Liberation. Claire is one of our local SGI Buddhist group and she has told me many stories of those times. Recently she was musing on what she would have done and what would have happened to her if they she’d been asked to join SOE (like some were) and be dropped in France (because of her good French etc). She also mentioned about a sniper’s bullet aimed at De Gaulle that just missed him (and her) while he walked down the Champs Elysée but hit a young man from their London party who had had a premonition that he’d die if he went back to France with them. I must ask her if it’d be okay to write more of this down for her (and us). She’s eighty odd, you know. Postscript Added 28/6/2010Claire died this week, peacefully, with her family around her, in France. Bravo for her big, big, life. Too late to ask any more questions…. Information on her wartime exploits can be found here:
