Five young mountain climbers find that they have a lot more than the elevation to worry about when a pair of vicious killers mark them for extermination...
What's that? You've seen this movie before? Maybe it wasn't mountain climbing but hiking or camping or skinny-dipping, what have you. This premise is not only unoriginal, familiar, and virtually played out -- at least until a cool little movie comes along and injects a real shot of adrenalin into a potentially tiresome concept.
That's precisely what director Julian Gilbey (Rise of the Footsoldier) has done with the rock-solid mountaineering thriller A Lonely Place to Die, and yes, "rock-solid" was an intentional pun. (My apologies.) The set-up is this: a crew of climbers led by the always-cool Melissa George come across a truly bizarre discovery while halfway up a remote peak: a young girl, buried in a coffin. Of course the gang decides to rescue the little girl and bring her down the mountain to safety -- but the guys who stuck the kid in the ground in the first place, well, they have other ideas.
Thus begins an intense and picturesque horror / thriller / chase flick that, get this, deals in logic, common sense, and (best of all) some rather dark surprises. Reminiscent (just here and there) of woodland thrillers like Shoot to Kill, Cliffhanger, The River Wild, The Most Dangerous Game, and Deliverance, A Lonely Place to Die sets up its bleak situation with an ample degree of confidence and efficiency: the "victim" characters are thinly-drawn but well-realized, the "hunters" are more than suitably malevolent, the setting is both beautiful and brutal, and to the flick's inestimable credit, it simply moves forward, virtually non-stop, on all cylinders. Even when characters are hurriedly trying to figure out their next move, there's a crackling sharpness to the flick that has us thinking "Go, run! Now! Keep climbing!"
So to answer my initial question: movies like this are why we, the hardcore horror fans, will always give yet another "forest stalker survival" movie a fair shake. When they're done well, thrillers like A Lonely Place to Die can feel like a 90-minute session of emotional aerobics. And I mean that as a big compliment.
A Lonely Place to Die has played at Actionfest, Fantasia Fest, and many others. Expect it soon at UK Frightfest and many more...

I write about luxury timepieces.
During the last financial crisis the high-end watch market took a serious plunge. Luxuries such as the purchase of expensive watches tends to be one of the first things to go during rough economic times. The Swiss watch market is especially sensitive to economic depressions, and finds itself always having to aim where new money is. This is because high-end wrist watches for the most part are a poor economic investment. You should buy them because you love them, because they are beautiful, and because you want to wear them. Not because you think they will hold or increase in value.
As a professional talking head on watches I often get asked about investing in watches for profit. The idea that you'll buy a watch and wait until it increases in value doesn't made for good sense. Plus, historically it doesn't happen often even with extremely rare watches. Of course this is not the universally the case, but if I was your investment adviser, I would say stick with watches for wearing not anticipating.
Let me address the two main "exceptions to the rule," Rolex and Patek Philippe. For whatever reason these two powerful brands have been able to claim at least solid "value retention" for their products. This means that if you buy a new Rolex or Patek Philippe watch today, chances are you won't lose much or any money if you sell it a few years from now. There is a healthy auction market for vintage Rolex and Patek Philippe watches. A few rare historic models do fetch very high prices at auction, but none of these are pieces anyone has purchased new anytime recently. The best you could say about making money off buying a new Rolex or Patek Philippe, is that if are able to acquire a very special or rare model today, your children or grandchildren might have a chance of making a healthy profit at auction in the distant future. Nevertheless, Rolex and Patek Philippe are extremely impressive brands do have success at auction because they have consistently remained quality brands for so long. If you look closely at watch auctions, you'll also notice that most of the high yield pieces are simply re-circulated lots that show up in auctions each few years. Invest in one of these and you might make a slim margin if you resell it a few years later.
The majority of other watch brands lose a lot of value right after purchase. This means that people who buy new watches and decide to resell them even right after purchase are faced with the situation that they cannot sell them at prices at all close to retail much of the time. This fact alone is likely a major cause of watch industry problems during poor economic periods. Imagine you are someone that purchased a large quantity of watches when money was good. If your financial outlook sours, you are likely going to try and sell off assets such as watches. Faced with a reality that you cannot recoup much of your investment, you are likely to stop buy as much watches.
Why does this happen? An easy answer is that watch prices are too high. It is hard to discuss the matter of "too high" when it comes to luxury goods purchased for status and emotional reasons. It isn't however hard to discuss price versus value when it comes to thinking about watches from an investment standpoint. Diamonds and gold for example have fluctuating prices set by the market. If you buy gold or diamonds you know that the price of purchase is more or less the value of sale. That isn't the case with watches. Watch value is completely controlled by desirability and exclusivity, not the price that brands apply to price tags.
As a watch lover I am not at all suggesting you avoid buying watches. Quite the opposite, I want people to buy and enjoy watches with the same enthusiasm that I have. I merely want people to have more accurate expectations when it comes to value. Buy a watch because you are attracted to it for a visual, functional, or historical reason. In other words, buy a good watch for an emotional reason. If you are intent on getting as much value retention from your purchase as possible, here are a few tips. First, go with watches from brands that a lot of people know. Wide brand awareness tends to really increase resale demand. Next, get a watch with controlled distribution and consistent pricing. If the price of a watch you are interested is double in a store what it is on the internet, then it likely suffers from poor distribution and has well than consistent pricing. The more consistent a price is overall, the more consistent and high the resale value will be. Last, go with popular models that have been around for a long time. Brands like Rolex and Cartier have been selling versions of essentially the same watch families for decades. These product families have the benefit of years of demand, and typically benefit from much better resale values.
Ariel Adams publishes the watch review site aBlogtoRead.com.
I tend to wholly agree with what Ariel says…although I have not noticed any decrease in value on two brands I would add to the one listed: Panerai and Frank Muller (the second to a lesser degree).
My personal experience with collecting Vintage timepieces for over 25 years has been very positive.
It started as a hobby and has grown into a very profitable investment.
I started with very reasonably priced pieces that I liked and educated myself in recognizing for example the genuine from fake, the most desirable within a brand e.g Omega Constellation with a Piepan dial(a must for a vintage watch collector!) etc.
Approximately 250 beautiful timepieces( I actively buy and sell from my collection) later my collection has become the best investments I have ever made. Even during the collapse of the stock market (lost a lot!) I was able to sell many from my personal collection for substantially higher prices than I had paid for only a few years back.
Every trip I make; domestic or international I look for a watch dealer, antique shop etc. for couple of reasons, first I get to see a lot of the city or the town I'm visiting and talk to the locals just to find the address to a source. Second if I find one or two (hopefully more!) reasonably priced watches I could potentially cover the cost of the trip! Case in point: a 1970′s Omega Flighmaster chronograph purchased for $1,500 during an overseas trip back in 2008 just before the market collapse is easily worth $3500(as of July 23, 2012 I can confirm the sale of two examples sold through a major auction website one sold for $3950, the other $5825!!!!).
How many investment vehicles do you know of that can be useful, aestheticly appealing, appreciate in price during good times and bad, does not take much space, can be carried on you wrist, is a conversation piece, could be a status symbol, is actively bought and sold on the Internet, could be exchanged for service ( I know of a contractor who was paid with a genuine Rolex Oyster Date, who happily accepted) and occasionally you might get really lucky and find a piece for practically nothing e.g. I bought a Bulova from 1930′s with an unusually long case (52mm)for $5 at an antique fair that is worth between $700 to $1000 ( I know a dealer who is selling one for $1200).
One key to vintage watch collecting is to get to know a good watchmaker who charges reasonable fees.
Thank you for reading my comment.
Hi thanks for your insightful article, I was hoping for some individual advice if possible? I am from the U.K, and I recently purchased a genuine Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust for £1,250 in the hope of selling it on for more money. I have now been told the dial/face is not original, so I must arrange for Rolex to replace it. They have quoted me around £200 for a dial without diamonds or a dial with diamonds for £3,000, which is without the £300 servicing either way! Do you think it is worth spending £3,0000 on the diamond face? Could I make more profit or will I lose money? A watchmaker has offered me £1,100 and I'm thinking about cutting my losses…Below is a link to a Rolex watch exactly the same as mine, including the fake face it has right now. Hope to hear from you!
It is best to take part in a contest for most likely the greatest blogs on the web. I'll suggest this website! mens replica watches

Any day now, Fresno plans to raze a large homeless encampment that's grown up near downtown. The poor, farm-dependent city in California's Central Valley has one of the highest per capita homeless populations in the country.
In recent weeks, city officials there have dismantled three other sprawling shantytowns. The moves have displaced hundreds of people and sparked controversy.

Fresno is one of the poorest places in America. One in 4 people here live below the poverty line, and the recession only made things worse.

On the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, firefighting jobs are one of only a few ways for many young men to earn a living. For team member Jose Alvarez Santi Jr., 25, the work is rewarding — but being away from home fighting fires can be tough.

Rande Gerber and wife model Cindy Crawford, targets of an alleged extortion plot by Edis Kayalar who had a photo of their daughter, according to the FBI.
The ex-wife of Edis Kayalar filed a restraining order against him back in March 2008, according to court documents.
In the documents, Kayalar's former wife alleged that he had a substance-abuse problem, abused her both physically and mentally, raped her on numerous occasions and threatened her life.
Authorities charged Kayalar Thursday in federal court with trying to extort $100,000 dollars from supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband over a controversial photo of her then-7-year-old daughter.
Authorities recently deported Kayalar back to Germany for being in this country illegally. He has not yet been arrested on the current charges.

Letters: solar power
If we are to follow Erik Bruvold's premise ("Solar flare-up: Rate structure should be fair, economically sustainable" Dialog, Dec. 4), then those driving fuel-efficient electric or hybrid vehicles should pay an additional surcharge to the gasoline companies and governments because they're using less gasoline, paying less tax on gas, which creates less revenue for the roads and the "grid" infrastructure they use. Yet, the mere fact they're using less fuel creates less demand, which increases the supply. Supply dictates price. The greater the supply the lower the price, which helps those in the lower income neighborhoods who can't afford more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Maybe San Diego Gas and Electric will lower its rates as demand lessens and supply increases in the grid, providing lower rates for those with lower incomes who can't afford solar panels. Not likely. – Craig Wood, La Mesa
There have been several articles over the past weeks regarding Sempra/SDG&E's request to the PUC to charge solar customers a "network-use" charge claiming that "solar users currently avoid paying their fair share for the upkeep of electrical infrastructure," to quote Morgan Lee's article "Walmart to challenge SDG&E rate proposal" (Business reports, Dec. 1).
The argument that nobody brings up is that SDG&E is receiving excess power to their grid from solar users. That in turn is sold to other nonsolar customers for a huge margin. For example, take a nonsolar customer in the Tier 4 range (30 cents per kilowatt-hour for delivery and generation). The excess generation credit to the solar user is 4 cents per kWh, resulting in a 26 cent per kWh markup for SDG&E.
Additionally SDG&E does not have to build more power plants to meet the increasing energy demand for new customers due to solar user excess generation and/or less demand on the system. – Greg Woolsey, Alpine
In response to "County won't oppose SDG&E solar rate plan" (Local reports, Dec. 8): It is pathetic the way SDG&E tries to play one group against another in its never-ending greed. "Company officials contend that solar customers escaped from paying their fair share" but never mention the thousands of dollars solar users were tricked into investing to install their systems in this bait-then-switch-the-rules game.
Who will pay the 250 percent increase the water district (and other agencies) will have to collect so SDG&E can receive pay raises, bonuses and benefits? Nonsolar customers will pay these higher cost along with the solar users for allowing SDG&E to pit them against their neighbors just to be "fair."
If SDG&E really wanted to be "fair" the cost of "transporting" electricity would be based on the distance (poles, wires, etc.) from the generation point, not some made up, arbitrary cost just to line its pockets. – Denis Doran, Santee
Regarding the debate on SDG&E's plan to establish a "network use charge" on customers who have their own solar electricity generating systems, it is obvious to me that Eric Bruvold's arguments were inane, spurious and not well thought-out. But, if anyone needs more evidence of this, let me illustrate with just two contradictions:

After a stunningly close victory secured by only one vote, the cycling documentary "Two Blind to Ride" triumphed in this weekend's Project of the Week contest!
Congratulations to "Two Blind to Ride" director Laura Rosensteel. The filmmaker will receive a digital distribution consultation from SnagFilms and the film is now officially a candidate for Project of the Month. That winner will be awarded with a consultation from the Sundance Institute.
Here's what the project's about:
Christi is completely blind in one eye, and has blurry vision out of the other. Tauru has tunnel vision. His condition is degenerative & he will eventually go blind, so now is the time for this trip! Their bike ride will take them from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina to Deadhorse, Alaska over the next year and a half. They'll stop along the way to visit & share their story with schools for the visually impaired.
Four more Projects of the Day coming this week. Want your project to be considered? Tell us all about it.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Noted financier Muriel "Mickie" Siebert died in New York City on Saturday at age 80 from complications related to cancer, the New York Times reported. Siebert was a pioneer in the discount-brokerage industry via her Muriel Siebert & Co. firm. She was also the first woman to hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, facing down sexist attitudes to buy the seat in 1967, almost a decade before any other women accomplished the same feat, the report said. Siebert also served as New York State superintendent of banking in 1977 to 1982, the report said. (Click here to read Muriel Siebert's recent commentary for MarketWatch.)

Through June, the eastern Pacific was warmer than average, but the lack of a strong gradient in sea surface temperature anomalies between the eastern and western Pacific may have kept the atmosphere from getting in sync with the developing El Niño.
This technical report from NOAA looks at more than 60 years of coastal water level and local elevation data, analyzing sea level rise and nuisance flood frequency changes around the United States.
This narrated slideshow describes the impact of sea level rise on Tuvalu, one of the low-lying island nations in the South Pacific. As the frequency and intensity of floods and cyclones increases, the island is shrinking and saltwater intrusion is affecting local food production on the plantations. As a result, many residents are moving off the island to New Zealand, where they face major cultural changes.
While the Northern Hemisphere's snow cover on land ranked as the 13th most extensive on record in 2013, snow cover extent at the end of the cold season has dropped by 19.9 percent per decade since 1979 relative to the 1981-2010 average.

Your exactly right Ken. When the hills dry, upper creeks, they and their prey need water. Also Deer …Read Morecan survive ok on dry feed, little water, but prefer green plants etc. and migrate more into cities, even streets, yards, and predators will follow them. Even more so during a dry spell. So people will see them more. I just wish they and the coyotes would thin our the turkey population around our place. They are starting to get over populated big time. Rattle snakes too, thought they get most of their water form the pray they eat, their prey needs water and food... So they will come into towns more too this time of year..
Ken Duarte July 16, 2014 at 09:02 AM
ya i often wonder with the rapid explosion ofsome of these game animalswhat is going to happen in…Read Moreth e future considering inside of the last 30 years,there has been ,my guess,a 60%to maby 80% decrease in hunting throughout the reagon.Understandably with the sale and division of these larger ranches,the development and population increase has simply made it unsafe .I never even saw any thing bigger than a three pointer in my life until like ten years ago and they were rare.Now? Any hour of the day ,Groups of deer,including4 and 5 point bucks are almost as common as cattle.These Big Cats are in Heavin ..So like Cheryl Buscaglia said"mother nature at its best."Mite be putting it lightly
Chris Kapsalis July 16, 2014 at 01:52 PM
Problem is people see a mountain lion they freak out. If it is in city limits animal control will…Read Morere move it. As said, they have a wide range. And will come into a city limit as some point. So they are being restricted from multiplying, when we need may more natural predators like Mountain Lions around to control the deer population. Cottee's usually go after smaller game. Too many deer and turkey's for a healthy ecosystem right now. Way out of balance. We need legal bow hunting seasons here, more permits to hunt, and or leave the big cats be. Just watch your dogs.. There was 20 deer here a few months ago at one time. 20. Never seen so many in one group. We need to learn to live with mountain lions, let them be and do their job, which is control the deer pop.. Hunt them with a camera.
Chris Kapsalis June 27, 2014 at 04:19 AM
I agree with everything you say. But that is what we can see. What we cannot see so well is the…Read Moreendl ess miles of roads and parking lots that have cars and trucks on them dripping anti freeze and oils, gas, you name it, onto our roads that All washes directly into our storm drains and directly into creeks, lakes, rivers, bays and oceans. Amounts of toxins far beyond the toxins of garbage. And mercury, lead, you name it. Also from factories etc. , electrical coal plants that make our power, refineries, that make our way of life possible, all pollute. Either directly into the water , sometimes unchecked, or into the air then rain clouds, and down it comes, acid rain, toxic rain, and you guessed it, right into our water and earth. You are told not to even eat fish more than what, twice a year from the Bay? While a plastic bag or cup, or cigarette butt is visible, and an eye sore, and may end up in the water, and can lead to a fish or animals demise, we are all guilty of pollution on am much grander scale. The sheer amount of toxins that go into our water ways from roads and parking lots from , yes the trucks that us just about everything we have , and the factories that made everything we own, and the way the electricity is made that powers the very computer we are both using right now, is Vastly more toxic and polluting than cups and cigarette butts. By millions of times.. IMO. This is where we need to focus our attention more. Yes, do not litter, but we need to change the way we operate, live, our entire way of life, to a clean way, not this way, and understand it is what you Cannot see that is the real threat to earth, much more than visible trash. And I hate seeing visible trash. But this is a fact. Un-visible toxins are Much more of a danger... And there are things we can do. Everyone of us, to reduce this constant stream of toxins, that gets little attention compared to six pack holders and cigarette butts or six pack plastic beer holders etc... ( I am Not saying it is not an issue, trash, only reminding people it is what you cannot see that is many times more toxic to the earth.. )

Quote:There is a VIXEN Portamount II for sale for $175.00 in the classifieds that is interesting. I would look at this seriously!
Quote:First off I've been there having to economize. What people in the hobby often forget is that beginners don't just have "stuff sitting around" to make a scope work. Perhaps she purchased the wrong scope? Yes the 102GT OTA is a steal, but was it right for her? Maybe an astroscan, and ETX90, or a Galileoscope would have been a better deal? Despite the being a good deal on the OTA what are you going to spend? OTA $69.00Diagonal: Around $75.00Finder: $25.00Mount $125.00Eyepieces (2): $50.00 each or $100.00Case (A piece of PVC pipe with padding might work) $20.00I get a total for $414.00 to get the scope ready. Essentially this OTA combo has turned into "buy the accessories get the OTA for free"! So I can't fault her for trying to save a couple of bucks on the mount. If I was her I would look for a good used CG-4. I purchased mine for $125.00. New I believe they are $375.00. They are around, although I don't see any for sale right now, and would make a good match for the 102 GT. There is a VIXEN Portamount II for sale for $175.00 in the classifieds that is interesting. I would look at this seriously! The $69.00 tripod deal mentioned would work but wouldn't be optimal.
Quote:Please provide us with what you are willing to spend.I'm sorry, but until you do I will assume you are an internet troll.You keep repeating the same thing and won't give us any feedback. Yes this assumption is harsh, but it needs to be said (IMO).Well, I guess I don't really think you're a troll, but you are acting like one.
Quote:Again thanks everyone for helping me.I asked a simple question for a LOW COST mount for a LOW COST telescope...the same question many have since buying the Celestron scope.FWIW...asking a simple question is not being a troll.Reviewing some of the answers I got from those who feel the need to act like trolls, it would seem that Cloudy Nights is not the kid friendly place it advertises to be. My Dad warned me that asking about a low cost mount in a hobby that spends thousands of dollars for a mount would be a problem.If kids can't afford equipment, how can this neat hobby of the stars continue?

Webgame Wednesday. Girls Like Robots: Nerdfest
Girls like robots. The cool ones, anyway. This fact is proven by the new Adult Swim game Girls Like Robots: Nerdfest. It's really just a mini version of PopCannibal's popular mobile gaming series. But this cute 'n' cartoony puzzle game is worth checking out in any form. Your object is to seat people at various events. You must follow certain rules, however. Girls, for example, like to sit next to robots. They don't like to sit next to nerds. (Sorry, nerds.) Nerds don't like sitting next to other nerds. Figure out the proper seating chart and it's on to the next puzzle. Nerds!

Someone has to make up the new words... That is how they start showing up in the morrassive area that is the modern English language...
As for me, I nominate Mike Jacka, internal auditing's foremost freeform author, as the official creator of words that have valuebility!
Every other year it seems one of the big firms produce a listing of good/bad words to use when documenting work papers. (i.e "noted" is a word thats used all the time) IA noted this...IA noted that. Whenever i see the word "noted" i often pause for a moment and think "what other word would be acceptable to use in place of "noted" becomes it sounds rather magoo to me. That being said i'd love to know your take on "Words to use/not to use" when documenting work papers.
Josh, great question. Wanted you to know I'm not ignoring it, but just got back on line from vacation.
In fact, such a great question I think I'll address it in a future blog post. With any luck, some time this week.

Budget Accommodation Asia Indonesia Padang Bed & Breakfasts Lemon House
The Lemon House feels like a resort style accommodation without the hefty price tag. Ben will wait all hours of the night to greet you as you make your way up the steps of his fortress like home nestled on a small hill overlooking Patang Bai.

Fresh new clean guesthouse based in Padang Bai, Bali, the gateway to the Gilis.

Rooms available to fit your needs and budget, with newly refurbished natural stone bathrooms, panoramic balcony view, and lounge area with free movies.
Please note, the view comes at a cost of 70 steps. We think it's worth it - but then, we do it every day. :) Our staff will be happy to help with your bags - just ask.

You will then see a local market area again on your right with a white temple next to it. Take the path between the market & temple - this is only accessible on foot or by bike.
Follow the path approximately 100 meters. The access to the Lemon House is on the left hand side across from a small shop - it is the second set of steps you will see on your left as you walk.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The Lemon House feels like a resort style accommodation without the hefty price tag. Ben will wait all hours of the night to greet you as you make your way up the steps of his fortress like home nestled on a small hill overlooking Patang Bai. There's a free breakfast on offer, and Clare (Ben's partner) is on hand to assist your every whim.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Ben and Clare, the hosts couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating to me and the other guests staying there, whether picking guests up from the airport or taking guests to Kuta for visa renewals. They helped host a birthday party for one of their guests during my stay, let me use their lap-top to make future bookings, and introduced me to the locals and their friends in Padang Bai. Great balcony view overlooking the harbour, use of tv screen in the reception area for watching movies and listening to music, and generally a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff at the Lemon House incredibly nice and friendly.
There is a climb up some steps to the property that would be difficult if you had a serious health condition or a bad leg injury or if you were disabled, but if you don't fall into that category, then The Lemon House is the place for you.

A vessel moves out to sea from Yaquina Bay, Oregon amid rough seas. Sirens blared in communities along the Oregon coast before dawn Friday, sending people to higher ground as tsunami waves generated by a massive earthquake in Japan rolled across the Pacific. The first swelling from the tsunami to hit the U.S. mainland was noticed in Port Orford, Ore., but residents there said they barely noticed it.

"Do you have a big, thick penis?" Howard Stern asks a guest in his New York radio studio one recent Thursday morning.
The guest, unfortunately, is me.
The Howard Stern wing of the SiriusXM headquarters in New York is not just a corridor of offices and studios: It's a combat zone. As soon as you cross the threshold, you are fair game. Employees with audio recorders and video cameras roam the halls, tasked with providing 24/7 content. Meanwhile, writers and producers dash in and out of doors like a Warner Bros, cartoon, gathering clips, news, jokes and callers for the radio show.
Inside the studio, Stern sits, weary and all-powerful, on his self-made throne, surrounded by a massive three-sided desk, a mixing console littered with sheaves of paper and at least five computer monitors that all but block him from view. His support team is almost completely isolated from him: Sidekick Robin Quivers is encased in glass on the other side of the studio, while his longtime sound-effects man, Fred Norris, is hidden behind a partition on his left. His guests, meanwhile, sit unprotected on a red couch, vulnerable and flanked by Stern staff. Every element of the room has been designed to remind you that this is Stern's kingdom, and if you're not an adviser to the king, then you're his court jester.
I had come to the studio to observe the show, after which Stern would be conducting the Rolling Stone interview. But instead, I ended up as the jester, blitzed with question after question for over an hour until, finally, he had me divulging something to millions of listeners that I'd never even told my own girlfriend – and would take several dozen roses and apologies to recover from.
And that is one reason why, after 35 years of broadcasting, Howard Stern is no longer just at the top of his field, he is in a league unto himself. When he left FM radio for Sirius satellite radio in 2006, detractors said that he was dooming himself to popular irrelevance. But instead, five years later, Stern, at age 57, looms as large in the popular consciousness as he ever has. And this is not just because he has almost single-handedly helped Sirius grow its subscribers to something approaching his listenership on terrestrial radio, but because he has thrived so long, so consistently and so successfully as one of media's most powerful outsiders that he has become an elder statesman. The term "shock jock," which used to be synonymous with his name, now seems like a quaintly anachronistic misnomer for someone more famous and smarter than nearly every guest he interviews, for someone who can go on the Late Show With David Letterman and tell the host how to run his own show, and for someone who can sit in a room and improvise four hours of comedy four days a week. Stern and his entourage, which includes the Howard 100 News team dedicated solely to covering its namesake, can be heard all day, every day, not just on two SiriusXM channels, but on his own subscription-cable channel, Howard TV.
Is this narcissistic personality disorder elevated to an art form? "I've asked many times, and I never got a diagnosis," he says, sitting in his office after the show. Then he adds, laughing, "But I'll be the best goddamn narcissist on the planet."
And so it was that, late last year, the self-anointed king of all media renewed his contract with SiriusXM for another five years and an estimated annual salary of $80 million, tempted to carry on by an app enabling listeners to hear him on mobile phones and by the mission of molding his channels into talk formats that will outlive him. But behind those challenges was a fear: the fear of stopping when he's just getting started.
When people ask how you get such good interviews, you always say it's your odd curiosity. But I realized while you were interviewing me that it's also because you have a limited attention span.
You're 100 percent correct. The biggest criticism of my interviews is that I cut people off. I think my biggest asset is that I cut people off. It sounds like a contradiction, but the fact is you can't allow people to drone on. You are the orchestra leader. You are the one who is saying, "My audience wants something new. I gotta keep it fresh." I don't want my guests to bomb. My analysis is that a good interviewer not only asks the right questions but has sort of an inherent sense of what's interesting to this mass audience. And I don't know if you can teach that anywhere.
So how did you get it?
My theory on that is that I used to sit in my parents' living room, and they would call me in to do impressions. I used to do impressions of all the mothers in the neighborhood. I'd get them rolling with laughter. But sometimes – and this is a terrible thing to do to a kid – my father would literally say, "Stop! You're going on too long. Shorten it up! Make it interesting!" In order to get my own parents' attention, I had to tighten up the story. So I'm awfully paranoid about droning on too long.
Outside of worrying about boring the audience, are you interested in hearing other people talk about themselves?
I don't think I am. In my real life, I have a hard time having a conversation with anybody. I have little patience for sitting there and listening to people, and I barely know how to socialize. It's weird. But I know when I'm doing good radio. When they hit the right mark, I know it. I can feel it. But I'm not a guy who walks around interested. I don't necessarily want to be at a party listening to you.
And I felt during the interview like I was dancing on a hot plate to keep the ringmaster entertained.
When you got into your girlfriend being dry sometimes [during sex], that's when I knew I hit a home run. You hit it, but I brought you there. I knew the audience was going out of their minds. I could sense them all with us. And I did my job.
How much calculating goes on in your head as you do the show?
When that show is on, I feel like I'm calculating everything. It's maddening. After the show, I come back to my office, I do Transcendental Meditation and I pass out. My head is on fire. I am completely drained. I used to wash dishes for a living. That was so much more enjoyable, doing physical labor, using your body. I just had my buddies, and life was simple. This, you fucking obsess over. I'm telling you, I was driving myself batty during the show today.
You kept looking over at me to see if you were being funny.
That was definitely going on, and I caught myself doing it as well. I realized I was watching to see your reaction to things. One person not laughing can make me insane, and there were a couple of times during the news where I thought I was really rolling, and I looked over and you were kind of just watching. You weren't laughing or anything. I went, "Oh, fuck, I'm not that funny today." It really fucked my head up.
There were parts that were really funny.
But I wasn't breaking you up. It was the worst feeling. I said, "Oh, stop looking over," but I couldn't stop myself. It's a horribly neurotic thing. In fact, I just signed this new contract with Sirius, but I really was considering leaving. I am sure, on some level, I enjoy doing the radio show every day. But the neurotic attention I devote to it and the inability to get rid of that insecurity is very fatiguing for me.
The curse is that I take it so seriously. I just can't walk out of here and say, "I did a good show today and I'm very satisfied." No, I gotta know, do you think I did a good show and are you satisfied? And that's the neurosis and that's the source of all problems for me.
That's why you can't connect to people, because if they're not talking about you or giving you feedback, you're not interested.
Because my own opinion doesn't matter. And why is that? Of course my opinion should matter, but it doesn't. Your opinion matters!
And because of that, you can pick up on what someone is feeling from cues that other people aren't even aware of.
The ability to interview people and read your subject comes from my mother being very demanding of me with one thing: that I should be able to read her mood and know what she wanted. I could look in my mother's eyes and know everything. When she was sad, when she was angry, what she was thinking. I was trained to make my mother happy. And I swear to you, when I sit there on the radio, I don't miss a trick because I'll study it. I count how many times you blink. You blink a lot, by the way. I watch everything.

This isn't the best CZ ring I've purchased from Overstock but it is one of the nicer ones. I'm picky about the settings. If the prongs are obviously thick and unequal it's a dead give-away. This ring has a decent setting, the center stone sparkles, and it's a believable size. For casual wear its fine. I'm happy to say silver has remained nice and shiny after 3 months of wear. I've waited to comment until now because 2 or 3 of my Overstock CZ rings look great right out of the box but after a few weeks of wear problems develop with the finish used over the sterling. Any of these "finishes" wear off leaving the metal a dull grey color that cannot be polished. I avoid any ring with a "finish" on the silver and now double check with customer service before ordering. It's one of the prettiest designs I've seen and would love to be able to afford one with real diamonds.
love this ring. i could never afford a diamond this size but why would i, everyone thinks this one is real. lots of compliments. for the price i don't have to fret over losing it i can easily replace it. buy it you won't be disappointed.
I have had this ring for over a month now and I absolutely love it! I wear it everyday and my entire office thought it was real! My recently engaged service manager said she was jealous because I paid so little, and it's just as pretty as her $4,000 engagement ring from Kay's Jewelers. You will not be disappointed! No stones are loose or missing, and I'm very rough on my hands!
I love it! The ring looks like the real thing. Very elegant and glitters just like Diamonds. I have compared it to real Diamond rings and I can't tell the difference.
Love it, looked even better in person. Good size so it is still believable. I get tons of complaments on it!!!!
This is a nice ring however it lacks the brilliance of being shiney and looking real. The sides of the ring kept getting caught on things. Also I wish you had half sizes, this ring was to big for my finger. Gave it to a relative.
Like every thing about this ring & the price. always pleased with service & products. Free shipping & fast delivery are always a plus when ordering anything on line.
Cheap looking and poor quality. I do not like the ring at all and I return it.
The ring is pretty for a while but it lost its sparkle and looks dull...
Cute ring. I purchased based on the positive reviews, but I was disappointed. The metal portion of the ring is what I personally don't like. Something about it makes the ring seem cheap (not enough metal? Squared edges? No detail? I don't know). I don't think it could pass for real, which is what I want from cz rings. It is very blingy, but not too much over the top. I gave this ring to my 15 year old daughter. She likes it and wears it often. She's hard on rings and it seems to be holding up. I wouldn't recommend to someone who wants a serious looking ring.

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at PZ Cussons in February 2011.
Interview Details – I applied via email and got a call to schedule a test within a couple of days. It was a timed online aptitude test (SHL, I think) with Verbal, Numeric & Spatial reasoning sections. I aced the test. Luckily, I had written a similar one a couple of days before so I was sort of ready. Also, they had sent me sample questions before I came in, so I knew what to expect.
The first interview took place within 30 minutes of taking the test. It was with a senior marketing manager and it was a breeze. She was obviously impressed with my test score and was more interested in my personality and career goals. It was quite an easy conversation. After that, I was scheduled for another interview with the Marketing Director.
The interview with the Marketing Director also went smoothly. I got a call about a week later to come in and discuss remuneration. I met with a lady from HR. She made me an offer. I suggested a higher amount. She said they might consider it but that would mean making an exception. They didn't get back to me after that.
Interview Question – What is your greatest achievement in your current role? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The remuneration package was not impressive, compared to my current employer

text: They rolled in, the faithful, the hopeful, in singles, doubles and in droves from all corners of the country. Washington, Toronto, New Orleans, Calgary, New York City, Cleveland, Milwaukee and points between. By Friday activities were in full swing-tuning motors, changing gearing, checking equipment and spares-yea, you guessed it, the 1935 National Jack Pine was on. Part of the thrill of this contest is the excitement in preparing for it. It is the show-off of what progress the alley engineers have made and a style show of what first-class Jack Pine equipment will wear this season. A new timer that guarantees a 1000 point return, foot boards that laugh at rocks and stumps, hand-guards that brush away the brush, sidecars with rear entrance for a quick exit and gumbo guards are almost standard on all outfits. You would be surprised how this has developed in the last few years and just goes to show the keen interest that many of the boys have taken in this run. Riders kept coming in right up to starting time. It does our old heart good to see the old faces show up again each year, and then to see the new blood coming in too for their first taste of Jack Pine. It really makes us feel our efforts are worth while. Everybody signed up and ready for the drawing for position by 10 o'clock Saturday night. No trading of numbers this year-you ride the number you draw-and like it. "A" riders take even and "B" take odd. You give a cheer if you draw low and a sigh if you pull a high one, but what's the difference ? Only some of the boys like to gang-up. Anyway, high numbers can sleep longer in the morning. We all get our route cards, machine numbers, maps and the souvenir cow-bell and then hit the hay for a few hours' sleep. What a break the "A" riders get this year! The "B's" must check out a n hour earlier-first man 5:30. Slower schedule, you know, the first half day so that at the noon control we all check in rotation and are on equal terms from then on. Good idea, as it brings everybody in at the night control in order. All out bright and early Sunday morning and it looks like a swell day and we like this, remembering the rain from last year. Hopes run high and all are anxious to be on their way. All the "B's" are gone now and Ted Konecny of Saginaw, the first of the "A's" is up there ready to check out and start trailing the "B" gang. Our lady entries, we have two this year, are given a big hand as they roll up to the starting line. Katherine Terry is up from Ottawa, Ill., for her first try and Dorothy Robinson of Saginaw was up last year and is considered an old-timer. She has to ride "A" this year. Where are all these male "cream-puffs" that are always crying about the Jack Pine being too tough? Right now we are even considering a ladies' class for next year and will try and arrange to have the girls let you softies enter their class. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article By Old Jack Piner Enjoyed this Post?
