Call ATPG ask for Tom in investor relations and ASK him WTF is going on and tell him company should issue an update in light of what is happening to stock. They expect big increase in production. Then need to hear from shareholders.
OCF and PPS 22-Apr-12 09:00 am
Production level
31 boe >7.46 OCF x 1.7 times =12.68 pps
37 boe >11.00 OCF x 1.7 times = 18.7 PPS
47 boe > 16.69 OCF x 1.7 times = 28.37 pps
The above information comes from a George fisher article he wrote the article (1/2012) oil was 102/113 just below current levels. I'm notsure what average oil price he used in his OCF calculations for 2011 .
The 1.7 multiple is low due to the company large debt load as this dissipates and the multiple will climb to the 2-3 range. Based on the information provide on the last call detailed under the topic A-1 and A-2 in Q3 our production will be between these 2 levels and our exit 2012 will be between 41-47. The market will start to look out six months . Risk going forward are CANES and a major drop in oil below 90 Dollars barrel on Brent , most of our crude is sold as LS and will fetch a few dollars below Brent pricing ,yet higher than WTI. The beauty of the company using debt is it provides tremendous leverage, as you can see in the price ranges 12-28 it also provides tremendous risk.

"Know per our sources that if really bad news was comming next that management would have to have a pr on material events per SEC rules of insider known facts!"
Hey, climmon, is that the full extent of your back channel sources' insight and knowledge? They know the SEC rules on disclosure. That's not very impressive really, is it?
Those numbers are interesting when production gets to those levels, but we are not there yet. The reason prices are in the $4 range is the really bad 2nd qtr numbers that will be posted in early Aug.
If 1st qtr was at 22 mboe/d, no new production added in the 2nd, a 25% reduction in Telemark production due to shutin from about 14 (I believe was 1st qtr #) to 10, total production could be in the 18 range for 2nd qtr. 18 could equate to cash flow of $0.67 to $1.00 for the qtr, or $2.67 to $4 annualized. Current price reflects a 1.0 to 1.5 multiple to these hugely disappointing quarterly esults.
Once production is at those levels, share prices should also equate as well.
Will be interesting to see the exit rate at the end of '12...frankly, with all what this company has done (and not done), I'm just not seeing it...
Clarify, what parts are going to be online? End of June would be like, two more weeks, are they saying the outage is now going to be six weeks instead of two? And four or six, why isn't this a material change in conditions that should have been disclosed?? We're talking about a huge Q2 "miss" now.
are you saying you spoke with them and got that answer or are you just ranting of what you want other people to do on your behalf
I spoke to Tom yesterday, and he told me what I said. You should call him yourself and find out what they are saying. I also spoke to Al Reese two days ago. Find out for yourself.

Chanel Spring 2010 Makeup Collection
I have a weakness for Chanel makeup - something about the simplicity of the classic black packaging and iconic double "C," not to mention the superior quality of the product. I've never been much of a makeup counter loyalist except when it comes to Chanel, at which point I make sure to visit Kristin at the counter in Neiman Marcus. The heart skipped a beat when I saw the new spring collection from Chanel. While I've tried to venture into color in the past, I always come back to a neutral palette of shimmery taupes, peaches and a touch of bronze here and there. So I will definitely be visiting Kristin at the Chanel counter very soon!

I am now using Samer for the 2nd time and honestly he is the best mortgage banker I have worked with. His
rates are the lowest they get, he is extremely responsive and organized and he does exactly what he tells
you. No surprises whatsoever! I recommend him with absolutely no reservations!
I recently started working with Andrew and have been very pleased. He is very professional, polite,
organized, and great in following-up. It is refreshing to work with someone like this when financial
matters are involved.
PayPal is great for consumers, but for business owners they will shut down your account in a millisecond
if they suspect something is wrong and then good luck communicating with them in order to prove that you
are legitimate. In the meantime you have lost the ability to make and receive payments! They really need
to get their act together!
I have been working with Bruce for the past couple of months and I have been very pleased! He always
gives me the sense that his #1 priority is getting me the best coverage at the lowest cost, even if that
means that he might be losing out on some of his commissions. He is also very patient, knowledgeable and
good in following-up. Highly recommend him!

Intel decided to play it safe with its choice of a new CEO, picking someone who has been at the company for more than 30 years. The world's largest chipmaker announced today that COO Brian Krzanich will be its next leader. He is replacing Paul Otellini, who announced he was stepping down last year.
For the first time in the company's history, Intel seriously looked at outside candidates like former Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha. The company hired recruiting firm Spencer Stuart to help Intel with its CEO search.
There was a sense that Intel may need new blood after it saw sales decline for the first time in 12 years in 2012. Intel is the dominant player when it comes to PCs, but sales of computers are falling. At the same time, Intel has failed to make major inroads in the mobile market, which is quickly growing.
But there was some resistance to an outside CEO choice. Otellini in December indicated that he wanted his replacement to come from within Intel. In the end, the company decided to stick with tradition and pick a CEO from the inside, as it has done throughout its history.
Krzanich has been COO since 2012. He joined Intel in 1982. The choice of Krzanich may signal that Intel will largely stick with its current strategy, but management is aware that the company is under pressure. And Intel has some promising smartphone chip technology that should help it gain market share. Hopefully, Krzanich can use his long tenure at Intel to mobilize his staff to shake things up at the company.
Investors had been anxiously awaiting a new CEO, especially because this marked the first time that Intel announced a CEO was stepping down without having a successor already in place. But after Intel shares initially went up on the news, the stock is down slightly this morning.

A Kings Cross stripper has claimed that she had a spicy night with self-titled "horny" couple Melanie Brown and her husband Stephen Belafonte last weekend.
The table dancer, who asked not to be named, said the raunchy reality TV star and her partner had their personal security guard proposition her during their night out on the Golden Mile on Saturday.
"It was just one of those things I felt I should do because something like that might never happen again," the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"I know that sounds kind of wrong. I wasn"t going to [go] … but they got one of their bodyguards to come up to me and ask me. So I did," she said.
The stripper maintained she was not paid for the evening – or early morning – and that everything was "consensual".
"It was nice. We had a nice time," she said.

text: I have some early details on a new horror-exploitation film currently in production called Breeding Farm. If you couldn't tell already by the title, this is the plot of the film: "After a night of partying, four friends are kidnapped by a mysterious man. The friends wake up in a basement, and realize they are part of something horrifying. A human breeding farm. They are to be milked, breed, and much, much worse." Some of the crew from the upcoming horror film, Lucifer's Unholy Desire, will reunited for Breeding Farm. Cody Knotts will be writing and the directing the film, along with Matthew Deering as producer, Joe Russio as director of photography, and Ray Wade as gaffer and associate producer. Starring in Breeding Farm will be Richard John Walters (My Blood Valentine) and Ambie Renee. More cast to be announced soon! Principalities of Darkness and everyone involved with Breeding Farm expect to begin filming in August of 2011. Check the official Facebook of Breeding Farm [here] and, of course, HorrorSociety for all the updates on this film.

High school notebook: Kendal Cudjoe hired as Douglass boys basketball coach
The Cudjoe family has a strong tradition at Douglass High School, and now Kendal Cudjoe has the opportunity to build on it.
On Thursday, he was named the new boys basketball coach for the Trojans, winners of the last four Class 4A state championships.
Kendal's father, Lawrence Cudjoe, built the basketball program into a state power during his 18-year tenure that ended in 1974. He died in 1994, and the court at Douglass now bears his name.
Kendal Cudjoe was a standout on the basketball court in the mid-1970s and quarterbacked the Trojans to the 1976 state football title. He graduated in 1978.
"When you get a chance to go back and coach where you played, I think that's every coach's dream to at least get to do it one time," Kendal Cudjoe said. "I'm really excited to have the opportunity to do that. For the court to be named after my father, and the rich tradition of the school, this means a whole lot to me."
Cudjoe replaces Anthony Andrews, who was not retained after one season at Douglass.
Cudjoe spent the last four seasons as a head coach at Northwest Classen, two years with the girls team and two with the boys team.
In addition, Douglass also hired Anthony Gardner, a longtime Star Spencer boys assistant, as its new girls basketball coach.
A year ago, Bethel looked toward Midwest City to fill its football coaching job.
The Wildcats went back to that well this year, as Bombers assistant Jason Madonna was hired to take over the program.
Madonna replaces Mark Morgan, another former Midwest City assistant who left after the season when his wife took a job in North Carolina.
"I talked to Mark about it, and it was close enough to home that I wouldn't have to move," Madonna said. "It means a lot to get this opportunity. I really appreciate that they showed the kind of confidence in me to let me come in and take over their program. I'm excited about it."
Bethel went 3-7 last season, with all three wins coming in district play.
Madonna coached for five seasons at Midwest City under Steve Huff and Darrell Hall. He also played at Carl Albert under Gary Rose.
"Playing for and learning under those three, that high caliber of coaches has really helped me develop my philosophy and figure out what kind of head coach I'm going to become," Madonna said.
It had been more than a decade since Oklahoma City Public Schools had needed to hire a new football coach at Southeast High School.
Michael Branch, the school district's longest tenured football coach, stepped away from coaching last winter, and OKCPS was able to fill the void with a veteran defensive coach.
Chris Vandersypen, who spent one year as the head coach at Rush Springs and 12 seasons as a defensive coordinator at multiple Class 5A and 6A programs, was recently named the school's new football coach.
A 17-year coaching veteran, Vandersypen comes to Southeast after spending the last four years as Choctaw's defensive coordinator. He also worked as an assistant Western Heights, Moore, Edmond North and Yukon.
Only a sophomore, Edmond Santa Fe's Brinn Fariss made an impressive statement heading into next week's Class 6A girls state golf tournament.
Fariss shot a 67 Wednesday to win the west regional at Westwood Golf Club in Norman. Choctaw's Kina Boone came in second at 69.
Edmond North, led by defending 6A individual champion Allison Sell, shot a team total of 320 to edge Choctaw by two strokes for the regional title.
The 36-hole Class 6A state tournament will be held Wednesday and Thursday at River Oaks Golf Club in Edmond.

This article is a very VERY interesting take on how "mental disorders" are often the result of disillusioned people who see reality a little too clearly. The original can be found at this interesting website: http://www.damninteresting.com/the-tota ... ive-vortex
Most people think of the "mentally disordered" as a delusional lot, holding bizarre and irrational ideas about themselves and the world around them. Isn't a mental disorder, after all, an impairment or a distortion in thought or perception? This is what we tend to think, and for most of modern psychology's history, the experts have agreed; realistic perceptions have been considered essential to good mental health. More recently, however, research has arisen that challenges this common-sense notion.
In 1988, psychologists Shelly Taylor and Jonathon Brown published an article making the somewhat disturbing claim that positive self-deception is a normal and beneficial part of most people's everyday outlook. They suggested that average people hold cognitive biases in three key areas: a) viewing themselves in unrealistically positive terms; b) believing they have more control over their environment than they actually do; and c) holding views about the future that are more positive than the evidence can justify. The typical person, it seems, depends on these happy delusions for the self-esteem needed to function through a normal day. It's when the fantasies start to unravel that problems arise.
Consider eating disorders, for instance. It's generally been believed that an unrealistically negative body image is an important factor in the self-abuse that characterizes anorexia and bulimia. A 2006 study at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, however, came to a very different conclusion. Here, groups of normal and eating disordered women were asked to rate the attractiveness of their own bodies. They were then photographed from the neck down, and panels of volunteers were brought in to view the photos and rate the women's appearances objectively. The normal women, as it turned out, evaluated themselves much more positively than the panels did, while the self-ratings of the eating disordered women were in close agreement with the objective ratings. The eating disordered subjects, in other words, had a more realistic body image than the normal women. However, it is important to note that the study was based upon the broad concept of "attractiveness" rather than body weight specifically—while the eating disordered women may have rated themselves poorly because they felt "fat," their weight was a controlled variable and not the basis of the volunteers' assessments.
Studies into clinical depression have yielded similar findings, leading to the development of an intriguing, but still controversial, concept known as depressive realism. This theory puts forward the notion that depressed individuals actually have more realistic perceptions of their own image, importance, and abilities than the average person. While it's still generally accepted that depressed people can be negatively biased in their interpretation of events and information, depressive realism suggests that they are often merely responding rationally to realities that the average person cheerfully denies.
Lear's Fool speaks wisdom disguised as madnessThose with paranoid disorders can sometimes possess a certain unusual insight as well. It has often been asserted that within every delusional system, there exists a core of truth—and in their pursuit of imagined conspiracies against them, these individuals often show an exceptionally keen eye for the real thing. People who interact with them may be taken aback as they find themselves accused of harboring some negative opinion of the person which, secretly, they actually do hold. Complicating the issue, of course, is the fact that if the supposed aversion didn't exist before, it likely does after such an unpleasant encounter.
As one might imagine, these issues present some problems when it comes to treatment. How does one convince a depressed person that "everything is all right" when her life really does suck? How does one convince an obsessive-compulsive patient to stop religiously washing his hands when the truth of what gets left behind after "normal" washing should be enough to make any sane person cringe? These problems put therapists in the curious position of teaching patients to develop irrational patterns of thinking—patterns that help them view the world as a rosier place than it really is. Counterintuitive as it sounds, it's justified because what defines a mental disorder is not unreasonable or illogical thought, but abnormal behaviour that causes significant distress and impairs normal functioning in society. Treatment is about restoring a person to that level of normal functioning and satisfaction, even if it means building cognitions that aren't precisely "rational" or "realistic."
It's a disconcerting concept. It's certainly easier to think of the mentally disordered as lunatics running about with bizarre, inexplicable beliefs than to imagine them coping with a piece of reality that a "normal" person can't handle. The notion that we routinely hide from the truth about ourselves and our world is not an appealing one, though it may help to explain the human tendency to ostracize the abnormal. Perhaps the reason we are so eager to reject any departure from this fiction we call "normality" is because we have grown dependent on our comfortable delusions; without them, there is nothing to insulate us from the harsh cold of reality.

I have heard this before, especially in regards to depression. If you really want to parse things out, nobody has an accurate perception of reality, whether they have a condition described in the DSM or not. It's simply not possible. We're limited by the parameters of our senses. What tiny bit of real world data that can come into our senses must be filtered pretty stringently to keep us focused on the data relevent to our lives at that particular second. It seems (according to the cumulative posts here) that autism alters the filters and/or re-prioritizes which filtered information is considered attention-worthy.
When I cross the street with my daughter, I pay attention to the passing cars and ignore everything else. I have given passing cars 100% priority until we are on the other side of the street. She gives equal attention to the color of the buildings on the other side of the street or an interesting occurance down at the end of the street. She doesn't ignore the cars but she doesn't prioritize them over other data either. As long as this continues, she can't safely cross the street by herself. My perspective is considered more rational because it gives top priority to data that keeps us from getting hit by a car and screens everything else out. However, both of us are percieving reality as accurately as our sense allow. The difference is in how it is prioritized.
So maybe in this context "rational" doesn't really mean "more accurate". It means "data prioritized so you use what you need to stay alive and get on with your life". The depressed person is correct. Everything is not all right. This perspective is accurate (within the limits of her perception). If you take rational to mean "data prioritized so you use what you need to stay alive and get on with your life", it is accurate but not rational. It is not rational to spend all your time immobilized by memories of your horrible childhood even if it really was horrible. A therapist can't convince her that everything is all right because it isn't. But maybe a therapist can convince her to re-prioritize data to favor data about what she can change in the present over data about what she can't change (the past, other peoples' behaviour).
It's also an extremely accurate perception of reality to notice just exactly what pattern the flames make as the wall burns. Accurate, yes, but rational? If the building is on fire, it is important for survival (rational) to filter out every single piece of accurate data your senses are getting except for the data about how to LEAVE NOW.

I think it's worth remembering that we live in a world saturated by advertising. Everywhere we look, we see people smiling and laughing or looking cool or sexy because they've cured their indigestion or got a new mortgage. When placed beside these images, ordinary people with ordinary looks living ordinary lives are going to seem less good than they are. Our expectations of life are raised to unrealistic levels in childhood and so it's inevitable that rational beliefs about our own real lives seem depressing or cause neuroses.
There's a good quote I can't quite remember, which is about religion, but is relevant to this. It's something like: "To say a false belief cause happiness is no more valid an argument than saying a drunk man is happier than a sober one."

Self-deception is kind of fascinating to me. I first heard the term in a Radiolab segment a year or so ago, which suggested that people who believe that they're better and more capable than they actually are often find more success than those who are equally capable, but realistic about it. They're more likely to take risks, and less likely to stay down after failure. It's not so much a case of deliberately deluding yourself in a significant way, but rather making your own confidence and drawing strength from it. And it's something that almost everyone does to some extent, even if they're not aware of it.
I'm not sure about the mentally disordered seeing the world more realistically because of their disorder, though. It seems more likely to me that people start seeing things differently because of one of the side-effects - becoming a black sheep, looking in on the rest of the flock from the outside. For me at least, my view of the world started coming into focus during the hard times at school, when I first started to become isolated socially. You see things differently when you're just a bystander with time to watch and think.
It's not really surprising that the majority aren't quite seeing things as they are, as well - we're practically taught not to. America in particular seems obsessed with the idea of "Believing in Yourself", which seems to be the hero's secret weapon in every story. Anyone giving advice on a job interview is going to tell you to exaggerate your strengths and downplay your weaknesses, while anyone trying to cheer up a friend is going to try to tell that person only what they want to hear. At funerals everyone suddenly realises that the deceased was actually an amazing guy who did no wrong, while many news stories on TV can't help but inject a little drama into the facts when reality isn't quite interesting enough.
I used to hate all that, especially the "Believe in Yourself" and "Trust in Your Star" nonsense, which still make me cringe. But looking back, my attempts to be totally honest with myself have done almost as much harm as good. Trying to see things realistically is good for self-improvement and maintaining an open mind, but it's not so great for maintaining confidence or the willpower to get things done. I used to be passionate about drawing and writing, and was often told I was good at it - but being my own worst, brutally honest critic, my motivation eventually just fizzled out. I think with creative work in particular you need to at least be a little bit delusional about the worth of your work, otherwise you can't ignore the millions of competitors out there and the realisation that whatever you're trying to express probably isn't all that unique.

We had to come here and check it out. Karin and Dave (our good friends) bought this timeshare and from the pictures it looked awesome. So on one of our stays at Vegas we came to the Cancun Resort for their day use. First of all, we were not disappointed. The place is beautiful! We rented some rafts to float on and they even gave us towels. everything was free (to rent) and the place was very clean, great staff.
I own a timeshare myself and i definately would concider trading through RCI or II and staying at this resort.
Unique Qualities: The theme throughout the resort is of course a Mayan Theme. It actually did remind me of Cancun!

The Imperial Palace isnt one of my favorite hotels but i have stayed here many times because the rates arent too bad. Also my friends love to stay here for some reason. I stayed here one time during the new years weekend and we were surprised to find availability and resonable prices. The good thing about this hotel is that its right on the strip in the middle of everything. It is right next to Harrahs. The rooms are simple but neat and clean. The only real bad thing that i can think of is the elevator problem. Just be ready to take the stairs more often than you might care for.
Unique Qualities: The Dealertainers- some of the Dealers at the tables are dressed to impersonate thd blues brothers, madonna, marilyn monroe and Rod Stewart. I think there are a few others as well. Its kinda funny how they will break out into a routine.

They say that theres nothing standard about the standard room at the Venetian. Thats the truth. I stayed here once. A friend of mine was in Vegas and invited me to go over. It was Superbowl Weekend and I knew Vegas was going to be happening! The room was incredible. It was bigger than my intire apartment at the time. The bathroom was almost bigger than my enitre apartment! It was beautiful, very classy, clean, breath taking! I loved the rooms at the Venetian better than the rroms at Ceasers Palace. There was also a sunken living room, and all the decorations were amazing.

I have to say that Harrahs is my favorite hotel in Vegas. At least my favorite that I can afford. There are tons of more beautiful, extravagant, new hotels but I feel i get my monies worth here. I have a players card from Harrah's/Rio and i cant say I gamble too much. it seems that even though i am not a high roller i get treat great here and I get alot of comps. I think that their players total rewards program is one of the best here in Vegas. I also found out that I can now use my players card in more hotels like the Paris and a few others, (i forgot the names). I have stayed at Harrah's or the Rio on a weekend for $39-69 a night. Or free on certain weekends and on weekdays. Like i said before, this is great because i am not a big gambler. They always send me free show tickets and free or discounts for their restaurants.
The rooms are very nice, clean, and staff is friendly. I have never had a bad experience here.

Something to keep in mind throughout all your yoga -- breathe deeply, and match your moving with your breathing. If you can breathe slowly, easily, with attention -- your moving can be the same. When handling injuries, this is especially important. The muscles around an injury, and even radiating throughout your body, will tighten to defend and compensate. This may protect against further injury, but can prolong or even prevent complete healing. It takes time and patience to let these muscles release. In the case of back pain, giving time for your muscles to release can allow your vertebrae and discs to align properly, and healing to proceed more easily. If something hurts, back off. Just breathe, move slowly, and pay attention.
Standing Forward Bend - Stand with your feet parallel, hip width apart. Fold forward over your legs, allowing your back, arms, and neck to release toward the ground. [Suggested modifications for back pain: 1) hold opposite elbows to provide some added weight / traction; 2) lightly interlace fingers behind neck to provide some added weight / traction (don't pull)] More on Standing Forward Bend >>
Cow Face Pose - From hands and knees, cross one knee behind the other, and rest it outside of the opposite calf. Keep the back knee pressed forward, widen your ankles out to the sides, and lower your hips to sit down between your heels. More on Cow Face Pose >>
Supported Bridge Pose - Want to open up your back and chest without a struggle? A supported bridge is an easy way to relax while releasing your spine in some great new directions. Lie down on your back, feet planted behind your hips, knees up. Lift your hips up to a comfortable level, and place a block under your... More on Supported Bridge Pose >>
Plow Pose - Lie down on your back with arms alongside your body, and bring knees into your chest. With legs either bent or straight [suggested modification for the back: keep the knees bent, thighs close to chest]... More on Plow Pose >>
Reclining Eagle Twist - Lie down flat on your back. Lift both knees up, bringing your feet right behind your hips. Keeping one foot on the ground, lift your other foot and wrap that leg over and around your resting leg. Hook the foot of your lifted leg behind the calf of the resting leg.

Supported Spine Opener - Sit upright with legs straight in front of you. Place one block lengthwise behind your hips on its medium height. Keeping your hips on the ground, roll slowly back to lie.. More on Supported Spine Opener >>

Grade Russ Dalby ...
Website URL: http://www.notenetwork.com
Company Name: IPME, LLLP
Alexa Traffic Rank: 944,431
Russ Dalbey is best known as the person who developed America's Note Network, better known by its abbreviated form, ANN. This program did garner a formidable reputation for himself in the world of the Internet and earned for him the title of Real Estate Guru. The website is actually a list of notes which can be availed of without any cost. These notes can be monetized by anyone who knows how to do it, and the money involved can be quite fantastic. This is what the entire procedure entails. Russ Dalbey runs programs to teach people how to make money from notes and this is where a lot of his wealth has come from.
He is also well-known in Internet circles for churning out the bestselling program Winning in the Cash Flow Business. This program is a tutorial for people who want to learn how they can make money from notes. The course is actually about tracking notes over the Internet. That's the unique selling point of Russ Dalbey's entire venture – he does not want people to buy notes or sell notes or even handle notes in any manner. All they have to do is to find the notes on the Internet and then list them on the note listing service, ANN. Whenever someone uses the note and completes the deal, the person who found the note gets a good commission.
This is the complete theory behind the way Russ Dalbey's multimillion dollar program works. This is what has made Russ Dalbey such a famous name today.
Russ Dalbey also spearheads Dalbey Education, an online learning center for online entrepreneurs to learn how they can make money through the Internet. This plays the role of a mentoring education to people who are trying to make more money fro themselves but also to build a brighter future.
There are criticisms about Russ Dalbey, but unlike most other Internet marketing gurus, the criticism is not targeted at him but at his business. A particular review on the Internet goes in detail about the various false claims that are made by his advertisement of his note listing service. Then there are problems picked in the modus operandi of the whole thing. Banks and other financial institutions are known to make communication with the note holders directly, without involving an intermediary. Since what Russ Dalbey teaches is about finding notes, the concept does not work that effectively because financial institutions do not frequently use third parties for their notes.
There are also some unethical practices reported, mainly about the Winning in the Cash Flow Business course. The training course is said to have material of poor quality which doesn't teach as much as it should. However, knowing that people are feeling cheated with the training course, Russ Dalbey's company starts pitching for other "supplementary" products that are meant to complete what this course leaves incomplete. The sales pitching is so strong that instead of feeling cheated, many people end up spending more on these supplmenetary products and thus give wind to this scam.

I gained nothing
I joined this program a year ago trying to look for an extra income and because I was just starting to look for a good business, I got hooked with the promises of this program on their book. In my mind that although the packet is expensive but at that time my focus was to make a part time income but it was wrong. I did a lot of readings based on the program packet they sent me, watched the videos, some are poor strategies and others are quite confusing for a person that is starting and for you to make sales in this business they will offer you lots of extra expenses to make it worth. This may be good for others who make big deals and find notes.

Didn't Work For Me, But I Know People Working It WITHOUT Russ Dalby!
I tried this program about 9 years ago! It didn't work for me, but I do know people that buy and sell notes, (without Russ Dalby), so it's obviously possible.
When I tried the program, some 9 years ago, he didn't have the website he has now. The site he has now, makes it easier for a potential note buyer/seller.
I think the program works for those that are interested in that field, but if your interest is in making money quickly and easily, I suggest moving on to something even easier. The note business can be tough.

My experience with Russ Dalbey
I got involved with Russ about a year ago. I couldn't figure out his backoffice. I understand how the field works but I was only looking to make money. I wasn't that interested in the field overall. I think that's why I wasn't so successful. His info is okay. But the best thing would be to work with an actual person who has been doing this stuff for a while. That's why there's Facebook, Twitter, and all these other places. People aren't that hard to find. If you do a little research and offer to be someone's assistant while you learn the ropes you may be very surprised with how far you get.

As a home business owner there's probably two things
you want more than anything else
MORE leads, and MORE cash for your business

Lies and more Lies
I joined this program about 3 years ago trying while looking look for extra income online. I looked like a good possible income earner for me and my household. I saw their infomercial 1 to many times and decided to take the plunge. My kit arrived within a week and I was on my way so I thought. But what they didn't tell you was if you aren't experienced in this field then you are wasting your time. I am the type of person that needs a hands on approach. I learn better that way. Well the kit only contained some inspiration DVD's and CD's and a how to book.
I entered this opportunity blindly and foolishly. I wasn't smart at all and I allowed Russ's sales folks to convince me that I would succeed better if I had one of their TOP income earners "mentor" me. I ended up in more debt and I did not recoup my investment. Not one dime. This is a warning to those who see this infomercial on television. Be warned in advance, they will try to sell you additional seminar information and other trainings that are literally bogus and useless.
It is definitely not the for the novice as the infomercial claims over and over.

Looking for legit sites that really pay. ----> CLICK HERE<----
Just Getting Started
I received the basic materials some time ago. At the time I was still working full time and the concept took on the appearance of being too time consuming. I'm retired now and I decided to give it a try. I like the basic concept of finding the note, posting it and getting paid. The original version could be a little more clear and concise. I have made several calls for clarification. I was notified, but not pressured, that there is an updated product and mentoring service. I also had no idea of the out of pocket expense needed to market my service. I plan to do a small mailing soon and I will be glad to report back again later.

Saw his name around a lot - so decided to give it a try
Since I had seen his name around a lot I figured what he did was on the up and up.
Decided to try the note business even though I knew very little about it. I have to say I did learn quite a bit from his course. I spent hours online trying to locate loans to work with, but I never could find much. I did find a few, but they never materialized into making a deal. It would not be for someone who doesn't like to talk to people on the phone, because you do end up talking to people about their loans. It seemed a lot of the resources where we were to check on loans were really outdated. So, I never really made any money. I'm not saying that he is not doing things right; just that it didn't work for me.

TVI Global Assist Team has just launched on Jan. 15th. Don't wait any longer to get in! Join me and let's make money together. How does $10,000 sound?
Should have know better!
Okay I was up to the wee hours of the morning and got sucked by Dalbey's Infomerical. I quickly dialed the toll-free and anxiously awaited the arrival of Russ's courses.
When they came I popped in the DVDs and let me tell you folk's, they are mainly another level of testimonials and cheerleading of how much money can be made with brokering Deals for notes.
To be fair they do give you an outline of how to get started and where to look for notes. They sell you an online website for a nominal fee.
But what they really are doing is trying to sell you their "educational" services or for even more money a trip out to Vegas for over $1000 dollars to attend his personal seminars run by him and his highest producers.
The mentoring program is run by a third party that is not even part of Dabley's enterprise. These guys are hard sell and will use any method to sign you up.
These extra's are probably the real Key to Dalbey's success.
My advice unless you can sell a refrigerator to an eskimo STAY AWAY!

I want my money back!
I became very interested in this money making opportunity after watching an exciting commercial on it. It seemed pretty interesting and both my husband and I agreed we would benefit from it.
We received the booklets and DVD's on this system and we were both terribly confused. The business lingo, for one, was something we were very confused about. Even after reading the books several times and trying to understand how his system worked, we were unaware of what he was saying. We both regretted having wasted our money on Russ Dalby's no money making opportunity and have trashed the information he has sold us because we are so certain it is a bunch of trash.

Very deceptive, high pressure sales tactics
I wasn't personally drawn into Russ Dalby's 'Winning in the Cash Flow Business', but my girlfriend was, which was bad enough. About 2 years back, facing a tough financial position and seeing Dalby's infomercial many times finally convinced her to take a stab at the Note business. She told me it sounds so easy, just 'find them', 'list them' and get paid, as the program repeats. I had a bad feeling about the claims made, too much money being made by too many of these students sounded bogus to me. With a sales and finance background, I had never heard about these notes and was admittedly curious myself. A quick review of Dalby's reputation on the internet turned up several complaints and skeptics. Well, the $ 60 or so she paid for the program gained her little knowledge in actually how to locate the notes and turn this into your own business, as Dalby and his crew claims. Within days the hard sell came. The man claimed that the program itself was useless without the additional 'mentoring' that you needed to purchase from him. This happened about 3 times, each time my girlfriend being too polite to get rid of the solicitation attempt. That's when I intervened. As soon as I started questioning him about this 'product', he became defensive, and resorted to questioning my manhood since I was defending my partner. Needless to say, I assured this bozo that future calls would be ignored and might result in action being taken against his company. We never heard from the 'coach' again. Overall, Russ Dalby gained a few bucks from us, but it was a fairly inexpensive lesson compared to being sucked in to the additional fees he's really after. It's a very misleading, deceptive way to take people's money. Later, further investigation into this business revealed that with time, money invested, and hard work some deals can be made, but you won't get this info from Dalby's course. I'm sure there are a few success stories out there, but probably 95% of the 'Cash Flow' course buyers came up empty.

Never again
I ordered the kit because I was a a point in my life when I jumped at any chance to make extra money. Listening to his CDs and watching his DVDs, I found him to be extremely repetitive and confusing. I'm sure that there are ways to make money from cash flow notes but I would not recommend using any of Russ Dalby's methods. Always do your research first, I just jumped at a chance to make some money and it did not workout well for me at all.

Innocent & trying
I ordered the Winning in the Cash Flow Business from Russ Dalbey almost a year ago. Being divorced and newly handicapped, I needed a way to earn a little extra money. But, a lot would have been even better. What I found is that the original package does not teach you much and his whole scheme is to sell you more schooling or mentoring to help line his own pockets, not yours. I realize the man does have to make a living too, but I don't think it should be at the hands of those of us who are innocently trying to make an honest living.

How does he sleep at night?
I too feel for his program, I ordered the Cash Flow System and what I found was very disappointing. He makes all these claims that anyone can do this and that it's so easy, well it's not! That's why he hits you up to spend more money to get more training. The only one I see making money is him. I just don't understand how people can get away with this for so long. I still see his ads everyplace and people are still falling for it everyday, that is very sad!

Russ Dalby - rubbish
I ordered the kit about 3 months ago. My kit arrived within a week and I was on my way so I thought. When they came I popped in the DVDs and let me tell you folks they are mainly another level of testimonials and cheerleading of how much money can be made with brokering deals for notes. I did a lot of readings based on the program packet they sent me, watched the videos, some are poor strategies and others are quite confusing for a person that is starting. For you to make sales in this business they will offer you lots of extra expenses to make it work. The only one I see making money is him. Be warned in advance, they will try to sell you additional seminar information and other trainings that are literally bogus and useless.
Stay away from this.

One of the worst
Russ Dalby is terrible. I was first exposed to him early on during the Free iPods boom when his offer, Winning in the Cash Flow Business, was pushed by many 'freebie' sites. Talk about upsells and upsets! I was genuinely interested in his program because I had gotten into the 'freebie' boom for the sake of 'free money' which would soon lead me into IM, but I have to say that his program was pretty disappointing.
After purchasing the kit, I was asked to purchase even more products. I honestly had no clue how his product even worked and to this day, even after knowing the ins and outs of IM, still have no idea how his product was supposed to generate a cash flow for anybody other than himself.

A total scam, don't be fooled
I ordered Russ' program "Winning in the Cash Flow Business" about 2 years ago, it looked so easy on T. V. that I decided "What do I have to lose?" I figured it wasn't that expensive, compared to some other programs I have seen, plus, if I didn't like it I could just get my money back.
Well, Russ seems to be one of the best scammers out there, not only is his program difficult to understand, but his "live agents" don't do anything to help you either, they just try to get you to spend even more money on other products to "help" you get your business going.
His methods he teaches you to "Succeed" are the worst yet, the only thing that he teaches you is how to cold call and annoy people.
If you don't have previous sales experience PLUS telemarketing experience you won't get anywhere with this program.
The worst part is how much money he was able to get out of me, I paid for the initial program as well as some of this "Extended" training courses, probably a total of $500 or more, and after I tried it I called to cancel and get my money back, they told me that I had called one day to late to get a refund, which was not true, and refused to give me any of my money back. Don't be fooled by this program. Stay away from "Winning in the Cash Flow Business".

Was not what I expected from the program at ALL
I ordered winning in the cash flow business a while back trying to make good money at home. The program did come with books and videos that could possibly be of some type of help if the program did work. I paid $30 for this program. When I first got it I was really excited about making money. The first assignment that I did was with this guy and we were talking back and forth threw email about his house and how he could get money off of it. I put in all of his info into the database that Russ provides you with to get people to accept the offer. I had it up there for months and months and still no offer. He promises that there would be something in no more than a couple of weeks. Wrong. I would not buy this system again. I have not received any money for my efforts. It does have good info in the books that you receive though.

Swindled out of thousand$
I was contacted in 2008 and told that I had been specially selected for the online education program and was asked to pay several thousands of dollars. The materials were sent to me but proved unhelpful in finding financial notes in my area, which I had been led to believe were abundantly available. I requested a refund but received none. While some say they have had success with the Dalby program, I'm also aware of many complaints on several Web sites. My advice is to hold on to your money and look into other business opportunities, especially ones with a reputation for honesty and integrity.

No good for me!
I bought this 3 step program after I kept seeing the ads on TV and did a little research. I bought the program over a year ago. First off they forgot to send me the secret book, ended up getting that a week later or so. When I got the program in the mail, I couldn't wait to get started. I started reading the first book right away till I noticed I had no idea what they where talking about. It was very confusing. I tried to understand, but had no idea. I put the books away and thought to myself I just got scammed. The books are still sitting in my closet. There is no way I can get that started. On top of that my phone would go off once a week or so from them asking for more money for an investment. My e-mail got spammed with junk from Russ. I can't believe they are still on tv! This is not worth your time or money, it will just give you a headache. Over all rate would be 3/10. Also, I found there was very little training.

Scam Scam Scam
I bought the program Winning in the Cash flow business by Russ Dalbey. Looks like the only one who wins is Russ and his staff. The commercial made it seem like earning money wasn't going to be difficult at all, boy was I wrong.
First, when I received his material, I quickly realized I needed a law degree to understand the content. After, a week of realizing this was a scam, I received a spam campaign of annoying phone calls and emails trying to get me to sign up for mentoring and more products at a higher cost.
After that I did some reviews on his biz-opp, and not only had several people been scammed but there was even one person that said he bought the program and someone called him for coaching at a price of $5000. Even worse he asked the potential coach, how many deals has he done, and the operator said it would be his first one.
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this man and any of his biz-opps.

Dont buy this
I do not like Russ Dalby at all. Wait, wait, wait, I don't even know this man so I can't say that but I can say I don't agree with him when he talks about how the the note network business is so easy. I don't think so. I paid I say 50 dollars for this program in 2004, it is 2011 now so I would of expected some results since he did say you all you have to do is find them, list them and make money. They are easy to find but there are a whole lot of people doing this as well, so you are not guaranteed that note at all. I think you have to have a heck of a discount to get clients or be the buyer of a note to really get a note. If you are successful with getting a note, the website where you list them are filled with note finders the same as you, so you might want to look for other ways to find a buyer. Now if you are successful with those two steps you will get paid, but I don't know that because it was hard enough to get to step 2.

Creating a Repair Guide
So you want to write a repair guide on iFixit? That's great! We're trying to teach the world how to fix every thing, and we absolutely need your help. We'll try to keep this short, and get you on your way to documenting your first repair ASAP.
You've probably found yourself here while trying to fix something, and, sadly, not finding a guide on iFixit. Well, these guides are all written by people, just like you. So saddle up and get your camera, and get ready to help out the next person with a broken Flimflamulator 2300.
Creating a Guide ¶
Go here and start your new guide. You can access this page from the drop-down under your name in the top right of any iFixit page, once you're logged in. After you've selected that you're making a guide, type in the name of your device. If your device already exists in the autocomplete drop-down, just click on it when you see it. Don't modify the name after you've clicked on it, as that will separate your new content from any existing work other users may have done. Hit "Next" to move on to...
The Intro Page ¶
- The top of the page will ask you to Choose a guide type. Select the verb that best describes it. If you're not sure, choose 'Replacement'."
- If it is not already filled in, put the name of your device in the Name your device field. Make sure your spelling and capitalization are correct. If your device page exists, then your device should show up in a drop-down menu.
- Type in the hardware component that you are replacing in this guide in the next field.
- More than 90% of repair guides will not need a custom title. Leave the auto-generated title alone, unless it doesn't convey what the guide is doing. Remember, even though you are removing parts, the end goal is usually to install new ones.
- Include a short summary for your repair guide. You can even be funny if you want. A perfectly acceptable summary, for instance, would be "Replace your dying battery to bring the power back to your iPod." The summary is used in search results, so keep it brief (one or two sentences), and include any terms or phrases that your readers would be likely to search for.
- Write a short introductory paragraph for the repair that you are performing in the Introduction field. This section is hidden under the "Show More" break.
- Once you click "Save," you will be taken to the edit page for the first step of your repair guide.
The Step Page ¶
Fill in your pictures and text, and document your repair!
Treat each step as a single process, like removing a panel or disconnecting a few connectors from a circuit board. Treat each bullet as a single action, like flipping a connector or prying along a seam.
Keyboard shortcuts available while editing a Guide step:
- All shortcuts can use 'ctrl' or 'alt' interchangeably.
- escape: render current
- ctrl+n: render current, move to next
- ctrl+p: render current, move to previous
- ctrl+shift+n: render current, insert and move to new line below
- ctrl+shift+p: render current, insert and move to new line above
- tab: indent current
- shift + tab: dedent current
- ctrl+d: delete current
- hit 'enter' to move to the next line, or create a new line if you're at the bottom.
- if you hit enter while on an unmodified, fresh line, it'll be removed.
- So, if you're on the last line, you can hit enter twice to stop editing.
- shift-enter will behave like enter, but in reverse (going up the list of lines).
The Details Page ¶
On our guides you will see a lot of information that doesn't yet appear on your repair guide. Some of these include prerequisite guides, difficulty level, and tools. Within the edit page, there is a tab that says "Details." Clicking this will bring you to a new page with many important fields.
- Keep track of how long your repair takes. This should be the time from when you touch your screwdriver to the device until the last component is removed.
- Tell users how difficult your repair was. When you open the drop-down menu, there will be text to the right that gives an explanation of what each difficulty level includes. Most PC laptops, for example, would have a "Very Easy" guide to remove the battery, whereas replacing the battery in an iPod Touch would be "Very Difficult."
- Most repairs are impossible without tools. List any tool that you used in the process of making that guide. Even if a tool is only used once to remove the battery, it must be listed for all guides that use the battery guide as a prerequisite (more on these later!) If the tool you're using doesn't already exist in the database, see How to create new items.
- Most guides can be concluded with a "To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order" message. If this is not the case (which is a rare occurrence, but it happens), then explain any additional details necessary to reassemble the device.
- Details is also the place to list prerequisite guides (see next section). Simply start typing the name of the part that is being replaced in a guide you have already made that you want to use as a prerequisite. As long as your guides are for the same device, it should appear in the drop-down menu for you to select. You can drag prerequisites to reorder the list.
Prerequisites (Advanced) ¶
If you're making more than one guide for your device, each guide should be a completely independent step-by-step tutorial, showing all the steps to complete a repair, from start to finish. That sounds like a lot of extra work! And it would be, if not for the prerequisite system.
Prerequisites add the steps from existing guides to the beginning of your new guide, so that they show up before any new steps. This allows you to break your guides up to be specific to one component, without recreating or re-uploading a lot of content. For example, in most devices you'll want to remove the battery early in the repair process. Instead of having to create a step explaining how to remove the battery at the beginning of every guide, you can write the battery removal guide once, then select the battery guide as a prerequisite in future guides. Here's a guide for replacing an iPhone 5 battery. The battery removal guide is a prerequisite for the iPhone 5 Volume Controls guide. You can see that before you even get to the volume controls, you must go through the same steps that are found in the battery guide.
Click to enlarge image! Compare it to the iPhone 5 guides on our site.
Effective use of prerequisites can be a huge time saver, but there are potential pitfalls. You can only use prerequisites for portions of the disassembly that are sequential. Let's consider an imaginary laptop, where the components can be removed in the following order:
1. Battery
3. Keyboard
4. Hard Drive
4. Optical Drive
4. Display Assembly
Notice that the hard drive, optical drive, and display assembly all share the same number. This means that once you've removed the first three components, you can choose to remove any of the next three. The hard drive is not a prerequisite for the optical drive because you do not have to remove the hard drive to take out the optical drive. This can get tricky to keep track of in your head, so drawing a tree diagram showing the order components are removed from your device may be helpful.
Another thing to watch out for when using prerequisites is prerequisite-only guides. Sometimes you'll end up taking something out of your device that isn't a single component, but rather a subsystem of many other small components, such as a display assembly or motherboard assembly. Prerequisite-only guides are incredibly important to proper guide flow, but having them show up with your other guides may confuse readers. That's why these particular guides will not actually be viewable to anyone except your team and site admins.
Still confused? How about a concrete example of prerequisite-only guides to help you out. Both the iPhone 5 Lightning connector and logic board guides use a "logic board assembly" guide as a prerequisite, but that doesn't show up in the guide list on the iPhone 5 device page. This is to keep users from getting mixed up because there is a "logic board assembly" guide, as well as a "logic board" guide. The logic board assembly includes a number of key components, but by itself isn't of much use to someone trying to fix their iPhone.
