Jul 4, 2013 at 1:20 pm #1304967
I have two hammocks, both made of 1.1 nylon ripstop or thereabouts. Very light, but I'm not liking the stretch too much. Is there a lower stretch material of a similar weight (not cuben)?Jul 5, 2013 at 11:48 am #2002727

There aren't many other options that are going to give you the strength, durability, etc. as 1.1 ripstop for the same weight. Doubling up – or going with a 1.7 or 1.9 will certainly reduce the stretch but at an obvious weight penalty.
Is there a reason you don't like the slight stretch? I personally find it cradles me in the hammock a bit more comfortably.Jul 6, 2013 at 2:05 pm #2003082

Some folks have had good luck with polyester, although it's tough to find in that low weight.

It feels more than "slight" to me. I'm 170 lbs, so not svelte, but not pushing the weight limit either. I haven't tried heavier fabrics at all and am wondering how comfortable they might be.Jul 12, 2013 at 11:29 am #2005245
I found these last night: http://www.dplightweightbackpackinggear.com/dp-bedroom.html
The single layer claimed weight is <6 oz with low/no stretch. I wonder if it is spinnaker? It does say it is noisy when new. No, vendor claims otherwise on HF: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showpost.php?p=512709&postcount=8
It claims to be waterproof though, which means it probably acts as a vapor barrier, or close to it as well.
Reading more on spinnaker, it seems like just a type of nylon? I'm unclear whether it would stretch much or not.Jul 15, 2013 at 4:56 pm #2006421

@bigfoot2Locale: Hammock-NOT Tarptent!
spelt!, I would research this vendor (and his outlandish performance claims) on HF a bit more if I were you, before committing to buying. Just my two cents.

I'm kinda in the same situation. I have a double 1.1 layer hammock which does not stretch from what I can tell. I also have a Grand Trunk Nano 7 which I think stretches way too much. I've recently bought some 1.6oz/sqyd (40d) ripstop from DIY Gear Supply and plan on making a simple gathered end hammock with that material. Most of the cottage vendors only have 1.1 and 1.9 so I saw this as a reasonable compromise. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks what the results are.Jul 26, 2013 at 9:45 am #2009719
Thanks, Matthew. I haven't made any rash decisions. Just constantly looking to improve my sleep. :)
Eric, any update on your project? I've been experimenting with a longer ridgeline to decrease the initial amount of sag. It's an improvement but I haven't found the sweet spot yet.Jul 30, 2013 at 5:15 pm #2011013

I'm 240 and just got back from using a DIY 1.6 oz gathered end on a week long AT section hike ….. Loved it.Aug 3, 2013 at 6:46 pm #2012088

Try a double 1.1.
Thats the only thing that works for me but I have been thinking about trying a double M50.
A few guys over on the hammock forum were trying double M50 hammocks last year but not sure what the consensus was.Sep 14, 2013 at 5:11 am #2024718

I've made a double 1.1, single 1.1 and a single 1.9oz. The Best of the three is the 1.9oz single..least amount of stretch and Most comfortable by far…the single 1.1oz had more stretch than a plastic grocery bag! The less stretch fabric will give you a flatter lay and far more comfort. EnjoySep 14, 2013 at 9:07 am #2024734
I have never understood the point of a double to be honest. When I use a pad I just sleep right on it and it stays in place okay. A DL 1.1 is the weight equivalent of a SL 2.2, presumably without the lower stretch benefit you'd get from a higher weight fabric. What is the advantage?
I might end up with a heavier fabric and just make it smaller. I'm short so I can get away with that, up to a point.Sep 14, 2013 at 10:15 am #2024737

I think there is some advantage to a DL in keeping the pad in place while getting in and easier tweaking, but once it is in the right place, I never had a problem with any significant shifting. I don't like how pads feel in comparison to insulation under the hammock, but there's no denying that a CCF pad is the lightest form of insulation.
I like to use an undercover with an open cell pad from a Hennessy SuperShelter system along with a Space Blanket for my bottom insulation. The undercover can be any wind and water resistant fabric and only needs to hold up its own weight. The total weight is greater than a CCF pad, but gives more wind and rain protection and you get dear air space under your head and feet. You could stuff clothing in there too. I have an undercover that can double as a poncho to get some multiple use weight savings.
If you are shorter, consider making the hammock narrower as well as shorter. You sleep on a diagonal, so you don't need the extra width. If you take say, 4" off the width, that is removing fabric from the full length if the hammock and more like taking 8" off the length. A scale drawing and comparing your height should give you an idea of how much to reduce the dimensions.
I've always been puzzled by the weight ratings on hammocks. A Grand Trunk Ultralight is made from polyester taffeta while my Hennessy Explorer is made of 210D nylon, yet both are rated for 250 pounds by the manufacturers. BIAS rates their 1.1oz fabric hammock at 225 pounds and Warbonnet gives the 1.1 Traveler model a 200 pound rating. Of course the suspension has to be up to the task. Note on the Warbonnet Traveler species that adding another layer adds 7oz, so the difference isn't huge.
The point here is that there must be a heathy fudge factor in weights and a smaller person has more leeway with fabrics, with attention to the stretch issues. You can use a slightly smaller tarp too.

Fittingly referred to as "the jewel of the Free State", Clarens is comfortably situated between the high sandstone Rooiberg and the foothills of the Maluti Mountains, in close proximity to the Golden Gate National Park and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. The scenery in Clarens is a well-known attraction for artists and photographers throughout the year, especially in autumn when the leaves turn a golden crisp colour.
Many local artists have opened their studios for the public to visit. The art galleries, charming church and historical museum are all worth visiting. The tiny "Cinderella Castle" in Naupoort Street , built using 50 000 beer bottles, is also a sight to behold.
There are many bushman (San) paintings to be found on the farms near the Highland Routes, along the foothills of the Maluti Mountains. The tranquil village environment, the magnificent views and the mild climate make Clarens a pleasant and stress free weekend getaway.
Popular with locals, Clarens is only a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg or Durban. Around the village square, Clarens boasts exceptional restaurants. Other fun-filled activities include fly fishing, hiking and for the more adventurous, abseiling and water rafting.
Clarens offers scenic splendour, historical wealth and all-round holiday bliss, making it a noteworthy addition to your list of desired travel destinations.

For seasoned art historian David Silcox, there are two key factors that explain why Canadians remain fascinated with Tom Thomson close to a hundred years after his death.
The first and most obvious is the appeal of the work itself: the way in which Thomson's intuitive and emotion-filled interpretations of Algonquin Park captured something essential about the spirit of the land and people's relationship to it. Then there is the painter's life story — his mercurial rise and early, mysterious death by drowning — which continues to feed the Thomson mystique and public perception of the artist as a doomed genius.
"His life fits the pattern of the classic tragic hero," said Silcox, in an interview with NGC Magazine. "He came out of nowhere and then had a moment of absolute brilliance, like a comet racing across the sky. He took off spectacularly in 1913–1914, but by 1917 it was all over."

Both of these elements are explored in a lively and accessible fashion in Silcox's new e-book, Tom Thomson: Life and Work, published by the Art Canada Institute (ACI). Founded in 2012, the ACI is a Toronto-based non-profit research organization, promoting the study of Canadian art history in Canada and abroad. The organization has worked with more than 50 of Canada's leading art historians, curators, and visual culture experts, including National Gallery curators Katerina Atanassova, Adam Welch and Christine Lalonde, as well as Gallery Director Marc Mayer. The National Gallery is also one of the ACI's institutional partners.
At the centre of Silcox's visually entrancing Tom Thomson e-book are high-quality reproductions of a large number of the artist's works, along with images of work by Thomson's contemporaries, and a generous selection of photographs. Silcox's prose, meanwhile, is insightful and passionate, yet also to-the-point.
The book's opening chapter takes readers on a brisk tour of Thomson's life, from his comfortable childhood in the Ontario hamlet of Claremont, through his early career as a commercial artist, to the onset of his infatuation with Algonquin Park and his fruitful associations with his patron, Dr. James MacCallum, and with future members of the Group of Seven. The story ends, of course, with the tragic canoe accident that took Thomson's life at age 40.

Subsequent chapters — on "Key Works," "Significance and Critical Issues" and Style and Technique" — chart the stages in Thomson's rapid artistic evolution and explain how his unique vision took form. For example, from Northern River (1915), Silcox extracts a lesson on Thomson's approach to transforming a sketch into a studio painting. Other works, such as Sunset (1915) and Approaching Snowstorm (1915), he holds up as examples of Thomson's increasing success in moving beyond mere technique to capture the emotional essence of his subject matter.
Like other ACI e-books, this publication also contains a "Where to Find" chapter listing galleries with the Thomson paintings in their collections. This is a useful section for any fan contemplating a pilgrimage to see Thomson's actual works, and exemplifies the raison d'être of ACI's publishing program: building a bridge between fine art, best experienced in the three-dimensional world, and a contemporary culture in which most experiences take place online.
Publishing books in three electronic formats, explains ACI's founding executive director Sara Angel, has given the Institute an expanded reach. While the PDF and mobile formats allow art enthusiasts to read the full work on a bus or a plane, the fully searchable desktop version attracts many more readers searching for specific morsels of information. Beyond broadening awareness of Canadian art, ACI is also attempting to "redefine the canon," says Angel, by bringing lesser-known Canadian artists into the spotlight.
Either way, ACI's approach recognizes that "increasingly, people's first experience of anything takes place online." NGC Director Marc Mayer, who calls ACI "the best news in Canadian art in a long time," believes its e-book series (available free online) has introduced Canadian artists not just to young people but also people outside Canada. "Canada has really been in the shadow of every other great art-producing country," he told NGC Magazine. "Personally, I've become impatient with so few people knowing about the great artists we've produced. And unless the world knows about them, Canadians tend to be indifferent. ACI has come up with a wonderful strategy to begin solving that old problem."
Tom Thomson, After the Storm (1917), oil on wood panel, 21.5 x 26 cm. Private collection. Photo courtesy of the Art Canada Institute
Silcox says, meanwhile, that despite his status as a Canadian icon, Thomson's story still seizes the imagination. For example, After the Storm (1917), which is likely Thomson's last painting, shows the artist on the verge of striking out in an entirely different direction than his Group of Seven colleagues. It begs the haunting question of what Thomson might have gone on to do, had his canoe not overturned that fateful day in Algonquin Park.
Tom Thomson: Life and Work is available for free download from the ACI website. Tom Thomson's extensive correspondence with MacCallum — the James R. MacCallum Fonds — can be viewed by appointment at the Library and Archives of the National Gallery of Canada.

Sri Lanka
Some Simple Facts to Start
For the intereseted visitor these are a few pertinent facts about Sri Lanka;
- Sri Lanka is situated about 5 degrees north of the equator, making it a tropical island, with year round lush green vegetation.
- It is situated in the Indian Ocean, about 30km to the south east of the southern coast of India.
- The capital is Sri Jayawardenepura, with Colombo being its economic capital.
- The country has a population of about 20 million people, is multi-ethnic and multi-religious.
- The temperature is more or less uniform throughout the year, averaging between 78F to 85F in the low-lying areas, and between 45F to 75F in the central hills.
- The are two main seasons in Sri Lanka: the wet season and the dry season.
- There are about 1000km of golden sandy beaches spread around the island.
- The population is predominantly Sinhala, Tamil, and Muslim, with about 75% being Sinhala.
Pockets of coconut trees dotting myriad beaches of seamlessly stretching surf and sand; lush green groves of tea-speckeld hills as far as the eye can see; delightful waterfalls springing up (or rather, going down) from the middle of rocky mountains, and all of it crowned by acre upon acre of indolently waving golden paddy fields.
This is Sri Lanka, more recently known as Ceylon, often times referred to as Taprobane. It is an ancient and enduring land, sunny in weather and the disposition of its people. Everywhere you go, you can be assured of at least a smile if not a welcoming invitation to indulge in some languidly fascinating conversation to pass the time of day. It is also where a drive of 80km can be accomplished in a matter of a mere four hours on a good day.
It is home to a diverse mix of some 20 million people, of whom over an estimated 80% consider Sinhala as their mother tongue.
An island small only in its physical size it is about 440km long by 240km wide Sri Lanka has nevertheless played a big role in the world in days gone by, albeit in a quiet and unassuming manner.
And thats just for starters. Along with all of these there is also one thing you will find in Sri Lanka which you will find hard put to find anywhere else; a ready smile and a helping hand, not to mention an instant offer of food!
You can expect tradiational Sinhala hospitality wherever you go, and this includes being invited to share a meal no matter what the time of day, or even whether you are a spur-of-the-moment visitor. Food in Sri Lanka is as diverse and as unique as its people, not to mention chili-hot.

Have you ever had a cloud of bugs fly around your head, yet when you wave them away they're back in an instant? The bugs aren't biting but they will not leave. What's going on?
It's a mating ritual.
In some insect species the winged adults congregate in a swarm to meet each other. It's the bug version of the bar scene.
Each bug flies around in the crowd, looking for a member of the opposite sex. The individuals break away to go off and mate yet the cloud stays put. To do this they use a tall object as a reference point — a swarm marker — to maintain their position. We see this in the fall with flying ants at hawk watches. The mountain is their marker.
Anything can be a swarm marker. In early June, thousands of mayflies swarm at Lake Erie in Cleveland using buildings, people and trees as their markers. They look scary but they're harmless — and messy when they leave the swarm to mate on windows, walls, cars … everything!
So it's not that the bugs love you. It's just that they're using your head as a swarm marker. Walk under a tree with low branches and they'll leave your head to use the tree. Good luck leaving them behind when you walk away.
Of course, this doesn't work with mosquitoes. Mosquitoes do love you!

LOL about "bug version of the bar scene!"
This is great info! I already learned something and the day is still young!
I like the part where you say how to get rid of the swarm! Good to know!
# Kathyon 11 Jul 2011 at 8:03 am
Marianne..I was going to say exactly the same thing about the "bar scene"! Kate, that was really good. Also the fact that mosquitoes *do* love us. Thanks for the info.
# Mary Ann Pikeon 11 Jul 2011 at 12:40 pm
Well, that makes me feel better about being engulfed in the moving clouds of insects….at least it's not me they're interested in. Although it *is* me if they are mosquitoes….I am a mosquito magnet. I've finally started wearing OFF! in the woods because I can't stand it anymore.
# Kristenon 11 Jul 2011 at 1:06 pm
Fascinating! One of the downsides to being a tall person perhaps. What's really terrible is when you are on your bike and you see one when it is too late to swerve. Nothing like coasting through one at about 15 mph. Blech!
# Mary DeVon 11 Jul 2011 at 10:10 pm
The mayflies also use light poles — go down to Waterworks parking lot sometime in the late spring and look up — there are zillions of them! I once drove home and discovered a mating pair still on my car — they must have ridden all the way home on my trunk. About 9 miles!

With the legal obligations businesses face to shred confidential information, shredders are a pretty useful and popular machine in the office. Paper shredders are used to shred any documents that hold payroll records, company trade secrets and client information. Despite it's uses, shredders can be quite dangerous machines to use, and we want to remind you of the safety risks!
The issue: With shredders sales growing every year, safety risks are becoming more of a serious issue. The risk of injury increases when people who use the shredders don't fully read the instructions. Common injuries include finger amputations and lacerations.
What to do: Before operating the shredder, keep jewelry, long hair and your ties away from the shredder so that they don't get caught. Also make sure that the paper to be shredded does not have any staples or paper clips on them. Next, feed the paper into the shredder one piece at a time.
Managerial responsibility: Managers in the office must demonstrate the right way to use the paper shredder to employees. If they fail to do this, injured employees could sue their employers. They are required to fully provide a safety training program that includes how to operate potentially dangerous office equipment, such as shredders.
Children and shredders: Just a word of caution to those who operate home shredders and have children as well. Children, along with adults, are also at risk of injuring themselves on the shredder. Shredders should be stored out of children's reach at all times. It is unadvisable to allow a child to operate the shredder supervised, as they may not realize quickly enough that their fingers are going to be caught.
Solutions: To reduce the chances of an accident happening, paper shredder manufacturers have developed advanced safety features that are particularly prevalent in newer shredder models. Some shredders have an anti-jam feature installed, which alerts users when they've fed too much paper into the machine in one go. When shredders jam, users instinctively put their fingers close to the blades to try ad remove the paper, but this can lead to accidents.
TheShredderSupermarket.com offer an extensive range of shredders for all purposes and different levels of security- from general usage through to shredding top secret information!

Minnesota Congresswoman and former GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has said all along she would support the eventual Republican nominee, but waited until today to formally get on board with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
She will be with Romney in Virginia today.
Bachmann's Congressional re-election campaign released this statement announcing her endorsement.
"This November, Americans will be at the polls with a serious choice- they can vote for more of Barack Obama's transformation of America, with more joblessness, higher energy prices, fewer opportunities for our children, more government controls, bailouts, and failed economic policies, or they can vote for a new vision of prosperity and liberty. I'm honored to announce that today, I am endorsing Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States, a man who will preserve the American dream of prosperity and liberty.
"We've had a hard fought battle already to choose a candidate. Being personally involved in the endorsement process was an honor for me. And I want to thank everyone involved in the campaigns, from the candidates, the delegates, the volunteers, all of us can be proud of our efforts.
"This is the last chance we have to keep America from going "forward", over the cliff, as Governor Romney said, and restore the values of prosperity and freedom. This is the opportunity for conservatives, independents, and disaffected Democrats to join me and Governor Romney in denying Obama a second term. On November 6th, the only option is Mitt Romney for President."
Bachmann left the presidential race after a dismal showing in the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucuses. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty endorsed Romney within weeks of ending his presidential campaign in mid-August. Pawlenty ended up paying off his presidential campaign with help from Romney family members and associates.
According to Federal Election Commission records Bachmann's presidential campaign still owed more than $1 million as of the end of March.
Bachmann's DFL challenger in the 6th Congressional District, hotelier Jim Graves, has been trying to make an issue out of Bachmann's presidential campaigning, saying she has ignored Minnesota. He used the Romney endorsement to note that rather than being in Virgina, he will be campaigning in central Minnesota today.
"I will be a full-time Representative for our district," said Graves. "While her freewheeling comments have made her a national media phenomenon, they have not added one net job to the 6th District," added Graves. "In Congress, I will create jobs that pay a living wage, and I have the job-creating record to prove it."

10 Romantic Tablescapes
This is a tale of transformations. When an empty nester living in a traditional house in a rural Boston suburb decided to move back into the city, she made a second unconventional choice tapping los angeles designer Richard Hallberg to bring a late-1800s Back Bay brownstone into the 21rst century.
Flooring, Exquisite Surfaces. Sphere, Robert Kuo.
The idea was to create a home for someone who wants the charm of the country and the convenience of the city, but doesn't want to live in the past," Hallberg says. "It's boring to re-create history; that's for museums. Let's reinvent it."

DEAR ABBY: My son is a tall, strikingly handsome teenager, although somewhat shy. Our problem is that his looks attract the wrong kind of attention from aggressive girls, and it's getting worse every year.
He and his 14-year-old sister went out to eat after school yesterday, and when they returned it was obvious my son was upset and his sister was furious. She said a group of college girls at a table next to them were teasing and taunting my son with blatantly sexual propositions. They went so far as to touch him suggestively as they got up to leave.
I'm sure they got the physical response from him they wanted; he is only 17, after all. But he was clearly angry, embarrassed and ashamed. He said he felt trapped and didn't know what to do.
The sexual harassment of young men is often laughed off with a wink and a nudge, but it isn't funny. It can be as painful and damaging to men as to women. Furthermore, my son is a minor, and I suspect the college girls were adults, if the beer on the table was any indication.
I am trying to raise my son to respect women and to be a decent man, husband and father someday, but frankly, I'm at a loss as to how to help him handle this type of sexual aggressiveness from girls. Do you or any of your readers have any suggestions?-- SHOCKED MOM IN TENNESSEE
DEAR MOM: I can see why your son and daughter were upset. He was not only sexually harassed by those young women, but when they put their hands on him, he was assaulted. When the teasing escalated, he and his sister should have changed tables or left the restaurant.
If your son's father is in the picture, he should discuss the incident with your son. If that's not possible, another adult male should help him understand that his arousal was normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I am sure my male readers will also want to weigh in on your letter because what happened to your son was outrageous.
DEAR ABBY: I recently bought a used car for myself. It is exotic, and my wife and I really like it. She's upset with me, however, because I won't let her drive it unless I'm in the car. I bought it with the intent for us to enjoy it, but I am also concerned with keeping it in good shape.
Because my wife is unhappy, I am undecided about whether to keep the car and stick to my guns, or sell it and live life simply and unfettered. We share everything, but the car is one thing that needs careful attention. Can you give me some advice?-- DOESN'T WANT IT DENTED IN RANCHO CORDOVA, CALIF.
DEAR DOESN'T WANT IT DENTED: Let's be honest. On one hand, you say you bought the car for yourself, and on the other, you say you bought it for both of you to enjoy. You can't have it both ways, so which is it?
I think the time has come to confess to your wife that even though you said the car was for both of you, it's really your baby. Then make it up to her by buying her that special something she has always wished for.

L1: I've been reading similar complaints in this column for YEARS. Back when I was in HS, I remember letters from parents describing sexually explicit messages on the *family* answering machien, messages left by teen girls for the teen son in the family.
I have no solution. I think these girls are messed up. I was a sexually active teenager and NEVER behaved as these girls behave.
And if a group of college boys pawed at a 17y girl at the mall, someone would call the cops.
L2: Unless she's a lousy driver, and uless you keep your money separate and you bought it with your own money, you'e a crappy husband. Ahole. Maybe instead of selling it, learn toshare. Ahole.
#3 Apr 24, 2013
LW1: Well you start by pointing out that A) these women are not representative of *all* women, and B) he does NOT have to get up and get another table, etc. unless it is what *he* wants to do,*or* there are no other options left. Like being more straightforward about telling them the attention is not wanted and to please stop. Now. And if that doesn't work, go grab the restaurant manager and complain about them.
This fade-away response Abby gave is exactly the kind of carp that is taught to and has prevented women from sticking up for themselves when warranted. There is a time when it is perfectly okay to stop being "nice" and "polite" and you should give your son permission to follow through on it.
LW2: So what you're really saying is you don't trust your wife's driving, right? Geez, I wonder why she would be bothered about that. The only solution I see in sight is to give her parity. Let her pick out a car she wants that will be her baby.

2- You're an @zz.
#5 Apr 24, 2013
On the other hand, LW2, if your wife really is that bad a driver and that's your issue, then A) you should have a strong argument for never letting her drive *including* when you're in the car, or B) allowing her to drive it under the agreement that she takes full financial responsibility for all dents and dings that happen when she's driving.

1. You have raised a wussy. Your son was "upset?" He should have been able to laugh it off or just roll with it or diffuse it or something otherthan getting "upset." If he really is "strikingly handsome" then he shouldn't be too far from having a decent level of confidence that woud allow him to handle such a situation. Methinks mommy is a bit smothering and daddy is a wimp.
2. You are a jackass. Not letting your grown-up wife drive the car? If I were her I'd tell you to take "let" and stick it up your butt. And I really hope she's not letting you "drive" her.

1 Take your son to a hooker. Once he taps a chick a few times, he will be able to handle them.
2 NO lamy! He said he bought HIMSELF the car for BOTH to enjoy. That means he enjoys driving it, and she enjoys being the passenger. His condition of only letting her drive when he is in the car is valid because its HIS car.

Lw3: let me tell you a story.
Yesterday, I and my husband were driving down a major roadway in our area. Suddenly there was a noisy "thunk" and our car actually shuttered.
Someone else had hit a (large) chunk of concrete, their tire and flung it, and it had thunked into the driver's side door. There is now a large dent.
Life sucks. Roadways suck. Things happen.

LW1: You are raising a p mommas boy, if he was angry, embarrassed, and ashamed. The fact that you are writing an advice columnist, when your son is just about 18, only confirms this.
He doesnt have to accept advances, but I think he should be a little more comfortable in his own skin and around women, even if they are hitting on him. He should be cool about it and have fun with it. If anything, be a little flattered.
Your husband needs to do a better job mentoring him on how to handle women. Play it cool and laugh it off if you arent interested, but have the confidence to know you are in control of the situation and be nice, friendly, and charming. They love it. They will bother you even more, lmao. Having many options is a great thing when it comes to women, too.
LW2: Just buy her something she wants and call it even.

Naw, since like 2nd grade. That's when I stared having girlfriends, but that was puppy love. Things didn't start to get more sexual until junior high ... by high school most girls weren't shy about what they wanted.
I wouldn't say all over me, either. I'd just say I've always had options.

When I had just turned 16, I had an 18 or 19 year old girl jog a few miles over to my house, show up out of the blue, and ask me to take them for ice cream, edog. My mom did not like that (she thought she was too old for me) and she made a few comments to me about it, but she didn't try to control me. I'm pretty sure I told her to mind her own business too.
She had tried to hook up with me at a party a few weeks or months before that. I had condoms in hand. THEN, I got cokc blocked by my one bro. I really didn't care, because I wasn't too into the girl.
While I didn't care, my other bro got pi$sed at the one who was cokc blocking me and started calling him a d'. They ended up getting in a huge fight outside my buddies house ... throwing fists.
Our good mutual friend John was also pi$sed at my bro for cokc blocking me (they all wanted me to get laid)... lite a brick of fire crackers and threw them down by them as they were rolling around on the grass to get them to stop ... they had little burns on their face from the fire crackers and their ears were ringing, lol. Needless to say a lot of alcohol was involved...
The party was pretty much over by the time the cops showed up because the neighbors called.
Every weekend of high school was kind of like that for me (not fights between my brothers, every weekend, tho ... sometimes ... more often with others)... parties ... girls.
I had my close buds during the school day who were in my grade, but I went out with my bros and their friends mostly every weekend ... I was hanging out with 18 and 19 year olds when I was 15 every weekend and guys over 21 by the time I was 17.

Re: lw2
After one gets married, is one required to share equally everything forever and ever? Can a married person never again get something that is just for him/her without being called a selfish a-hole?
For argument's sake, what if this dude's car is stick and wife can't drive stick? Does he have to risk her f'n the car up while learning on his hobby car?

He never mentioned any of that nor mentioned she was a bad driver. The vibe I got from him was a "this is my ball and you can't play with it unless I'm with you" attitude. That's why he's a controlling @zz. Justify his behavior all you want but you're only putting yourself in his camp.

Dude, I'm not justifying anything. I'm asking a hypothetical question. Everyone is calling him a selfish a-hole. So I gave a scenario. Would he still be a selfish a-hole if that were the case? A simple yes or no would suffice.
I asked another question. Are married people never again allowed to have any possession that is JUST FOR THEM and they are not a selfish A-hole for not sharing it. Is everything a man buys after he says "I Do" now fair game for his wife to use whenever she wants? Is everything a woman buys after she says "I Do" fair game for her husband to use whenever he wants?

- Yield
- 3 dozen
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 jar (18 oz ounce) peanut butter, crunchy or smooth (I like creamy.)
- 6 cups corn flakes
- 3 oz good quality chocolate of your choice
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the whole jar of peanut butter. Mix well. Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well, taking care to coat all of the corn flakes. With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out and form into 1-2 inch balls, depending on your preference, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Put the chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies. Let cool completely.

Police Blotter Week of 8-12-13
Harassment, paddleboard-style
On Aug. 2 a man called police to report a month of harassment from another male that culminated in a paddle attack during a paddleboard competition in West Seattle. According to the complainant, the aggressor had been harassing him at a Burien gym they both work out at for the past month. On July 31, the victim sent an email to the aggressor asking him to stop. It backfired, "amped" up the aggressor, and the name calling and provoking only escalated. Finally, the two men found themselves side by side at a paddleboard competition where the complainant claimed the suspect knocked him off his board four times, poked and hit him with a paddle, and threatened to "ruin and kill" him. The victim sustained scratches and bruises in the attacks and stated he was in contact with an attorney to obtain an anti-harassment order. Police called the alleged attacker, but the call went straight to voicemail.
Cutting out the middle man
An employee at an industrial business on the 7700 block of Detroit Ave. S.W. arrived at work just before 8 a.m. on Aug. 9 and noticed a hole had been cut in the chain link fence. Investigating, he discovered two large radiator coils were missing. He was getting ready to call his boss with the bad news when a coworker arrived and said he had just seen a male walking down the street nearby with radiator coils in his arms. The employees hopped into their own vehicles, took off looking for the suspect, and spotted him north of the business. The suspect bailed into the greenbelt woods and the employees gave chase. The man was long gone, but they found their radiator coils dumped 75 feet into the greenery and brought them back to work before calling police.
Geography-based threat
On Aug. 8 a teenage girl's aunt called police to report her niece was just threatened in a nearby park. According to the report, the girl walked to High Point Commons Park in the evening when an unknown male approached her and said, "I heard you're from the south end, I'm from West Seattle. I could take out my gun and shoot you." The male, after making his statement, walked away without brandishing a firearm.
Gun display leads to arrests
On Aug. 10 around 4:22 p.m. a citizen called 911 to report a "man with a gun" in a small West Seattle park east of where High Point Dr. S.W. and S.W. Batann St. meet. Police arrived and found eight young adults hanging out in the park. They detained the group, recovered the handgun (which came back as stolen), and booked two of the men into jail. The 21-year-old man in possession of the gun was booked for being a convicted felon illegally possessing a firearm and possession of stolen property. Another man, 20, was arrested for an active felony warrant for "escape."

|Jonathan Kraft says Greg Hardy comments show just why 'Tom Brady is so special'
|10.11.15 at 5:45 pm ET
ARLINGTON, Texas — When it comes to class, no one has more than Tom Brady in the eyes of Jonathan Kraft.
The Patriots team president said Sunday his quarterback's class and dignity showed through this week after Greg Hardy made comments about Brady's wife, Gisele, and her sister.
"I think you have to talk to Greg Hardy about what he meant and where his mind was when he made the comments," Kraft said. "But I think what it does bring up is really what a special ambassador for the game that Tom Brady is as you sort of compare and contrast what Greg Hardy said and how Tom handled it. I think that really exemplifies what makes Tom so special as the face of our franchise as well as a great ambassador for the league.
"It's just another example of why Tom Brady is so special."
Kraft also gave some additional insight to the two-year, $3 million contract extension of Dion Lewis, who was key again in the first half Sunday in Dallas. Lewis caught three passes for 30 yards in the first half and ran the ball four times for 29 yards in the first half.
"Dion has come into the team and it's interesting, it just shows what a unique business the NFL is," Kraft said. "[He was] cut from a couple of teams, including the Colts and others who maybe didn't see what we've seen in him. He came in and really from Day 1 has shown an incredible work ethic and a knack for our offense and producing. And I think he's become very quickly someone who understands our system and has become productive us as that third down back. Since Tom, Bill and Josh have been together, that third down back has become such a critical part of what we do when you find someone who can pick it up and get it."
In one of the more sensational plays of the young season, Lewis made a one-handed grab of a Tom Brady pass in the flat at the Dallas 5. As he appeared to be going to the ground, he kept his feet, eluded two tacklers and went into the end zone to put the Patriots up, 20-3.
"He's been more than a third-down back," Kraft added. "I don't want to pigeon-hole him like that. For us, it was just something we wanted to extend him and get it taken care of for now. Really excited to have him as a member of our team. When fans see him, they'll be reminded of Danny Woodhead or Kevin Faulk."

|In short span of time, Dion Lewis has made himself into integral part of Patriots offense
|09.28.15 at 7:18 pm ET
FOXBORO — Ivan Fears knew the Patriots had something in Dion Lewis before most anyone else realized it.
The longtime Patriots running backs coach said Monday there were flashes of what Lewis was capable of over the course of the spring and summer workouts leading up to training camp.
"We knew there was something there — we had a feeling there was something there, and we let it play out," Fears said. "He took advantage of preseason games and practice sessions and he's done a good job. Like all the guys, he's [carved] out a little role for himself."
He added: "He's got exceptional quickness and he's got the vision to go with it. He's got the Kevin Faulk-type of vision. He sees a lot, but he can make things happen because of his feet and his ability to change directions. So, we'll see what happens. He was hurt when he first came into the league. He was not as productive. He had some injuries, and now he's had a year since that injury, so he was ready. His body responded, and he's ready to go."
After being signed to a future contract by the Patriots late last season, Lewis has responded with an impressive start to the 2015 season. Through three games, he leads the Patriots in rushing (30 carries, 146 yards, two touchdowns), but has also become a vital part of the passing game (15 catches — good for third on the team — for 179 yards). While his two fumbles (one lost) have stood out, he managed to display some nice mental toughness when it comes to bouncing back after making errors.
One thing that's really stood out for Lewis over the course of the first three games is not just his quickness and dependability as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but his willingness to get tough yards between the tackles. Despite the fact that's not a usual part of the responsibilities for a third-down back, Fears isn't surprised the 5-foot-8, 195-pounder managed to display some toughness while grinding out some of that tough yardage.
"That was his MO at Pitt when he was in college," Fears said. "He was a very productive every-down back. He's not unfamiliar with running in between the tackles, so we just let him do what he does. We try to feature the strong points of each one of those guys when they're out there and Dion is an exceptional runner. That was his strong suit in college, and he's kind of proven to us he can do more than that."
Lewis joins an impressive lineage of offensive options who have lined up at third-down back for the Patriots over the last decade, a group that includes Kevin Faulk, Danny Woodhead and Shane Vereen. According to Fears, Lewis has a lot of Faulk in his game.
"He's very similar to Kevin — Kevin, of course. played at LSU, and was a hell of an every-down back," he said. "The only limitation that these guys have had is the size factor. Everybody just knocked them because of it. But believe me, they've proven a lot of people wrong.
"Dion has still got a lot of work to do. We're not giving him any crown right now. We're just saying he's been very good through three games and we look forward to see what he can do for us in the future."

|Danny Woodhead 'loves' San Diego, but 'had 3 great years' with Patriots
|12.06.14 at 10:30 am ET
Even though he stands just 5-foot-8, it was hard not to miss Danny Woodhead as a member of the Patriots, as the shifty running back made a name for himself in New England and became a fan favorite over his three seasons with the team.
After not being re-signed following the 2012 season, Woodhead latched on with San Diego. This season wasn't kind to him as he suffered a broken fibula in Week 3 and is out for the season, so he won't be playing against his former team Sunday night. Woodhead did take some time to reflect on his three years in New England and what life is like with the Chargers.
"It's been a great experience," Woodhead said via phone on Friday. "We love it out here, my family and I. It's been a great time for the last two years now. Like any other job I've had — New York, New England — I'm just trying to take advantage of what I got and that is the opportunities I've got. That's what I am trying to do."
Woodhead, 29, broke out as a player with the Patriots. After barely playing from 2008-10 with the Jets, he was released on Sept. 14, 2010. Just four days later, the Patriots signed him — one day before the two teams played in Week 2. He finished the year playing in 14 games and had 97 carries for 547 yards and five touchdowns, while adding another receiving.
In 2011 and 2012 he continued to be the dependable shake-up back in the Patriots backfield, with the ability to catch the ball as well. He had just one touchdown in 2011, but seven in 2012, including four on the ground. Woodhead was not re-signed following the 2012 season as the team had a crowded running back group.
The running back did admit it was tough to leave the organization he was with for three seasons, one which gave him the opportunity to break out as an NFL player.
"Definitely. I mean, when you've been at a spot for — I mean I was there for three years, it was my longest stop," said Woodhead. "It's obviously going to be an adjustment, but since day one I've been out here I've been welcomed in my this organization and I feel very, very blessed to be here. I love the organization, the coaches, the players. It's been a great fit for my family and I."
"I was given an opportunity to do what I do and that is to play football," he added. "Obviously I met a lot of great people and played for great coaches, played with great teammates. There's a lot of things you can take from it. I had three great years there and I am very thankful for it. I am onto a new part of my career and I am obviously loving where I'm at right now."
|Mr. Consistency: TE Tim Wright setting new standard for reliability in Patriots passing game
|11.26.14 at 10:26 am ET
FOXBORO — Tim Wright is in some rarefied air.
In his first season with the Patriots, the tight end has proven himself to be an eminently reliable part of the passing game — he has 23 catches on 26 targets. Even with the understanding that one of the targets was a throwaway by quarterback Tom Brady (an uncatchable ball), that's an 88 percent catch rate, the best on the New England roster when it comes to players who have been targeted by Brady at least 20 times.
If he continues at his current rate, he'll set a new standard for the Patriots. Since 2006, no member of the Patriots who has been targeted at least 20 times has a reception rate of better than 80 percent.
Of course, none of this is particularly new for Wright — last season with the Buccaneers, he proved equally sure-handed, as he caught 71 percent of the passes (54 receptions on 76 targets) that were thrown his way. But his target numbers this year — combined with his six receiving touchdowns (second on the team to fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski), have made him one of the surprise success stories when you're talking about the 2014 Patriots offense.
Part of Wright's success is rooted in the fact that most teams are solely focused on stopping Gronkowski, and have usually dedicated at least two defenders per play in hopes of trying to slow down the big fella. But it's another thing altogether to take advantage of the opportunities when they're presented to you, and Wright has done just that.
"Every time we throw to him it's a touchdown — we'll try to find him more down there," Brady said after Wright's two-touchdown performance against the Lions. "He does a great job in the coverage and finds the open spots."
While the touchdown ratio is impressive — more than one-quarter of his catches have resulted in touchdowns — his work as a reliable target has really distinguished him from the rest of the field. Since 2006 — when targets were first tallied, on five different occasions, a New England pass catcher who was targeted at least 20 times caught 77 percent of the passes that were thrown in his direction. The latest high-level connection came in 2010 when running back Danny Woodhead caught 34 of the 44 passes that were thrown his way.
Prior to that, veteran running back Kevin Faulk did it three times: Faulk caught 58 of the 75 passes thrown his way in 2008, while both wide receiver Wes Welker (112-of-145) and Faulk (47-of-61) hit the 77 percent mark in 2007. And Faulk caught 43 of the 56 passes thrown his way in 2006 to reach the same plateau. (While Welker was targeted more than any other receiver between 2007 and 2012 and was consistently over 70 percent between 2007 and 2011, he never topped the 77 percent mark.)
According to Wright, the key to being a good target is simple.
|Danny Woodhead: 'If people are shocked, they're shocked'
|01.05.14 at 6:01 pm ET
CINCINNATI — So many times in New England, Danny Woodhead was the silent little engine that could.
On Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, Woodhead – as he did so often in Foxboro – let his feet and hands do the talking in a 27-10 Chargers win over the Bengals that put Woodhead into familiar territory.
For the fourth straight season, the former Patriot finds himself in the AFC divisional playoffs. He figures to be another big weapon for Philip Rivers and the Chargers when they take on Peyton Manning and the Broncos next Sunday.
Sunday, he set the tone early with a five-yard TD run right up the middle, putting San Diego up, 7-0, and sending a message that the team that came within a bad call on an overtime field goal by Kansas City last week had come to Cincinnati with every intention of winning. The 11-5 Bengals, champions of the AFC North, were favored by a touchdown on their home turf in the rematch of the iconic "Freezer Bowl" in the 1981 AFC championship.
"We practiced all week with the idea of coming in here to win," Woodhead said. "We were underdogs. If people are shocked, they're shocked. There's nothing we can do about that. Our job was to go out there and execute."
That's exactly what Woodhead, Rivers and the Chargers did against a Bengals team that didn't lose all season at home before Sunday. The Chargers committed no turnovers in 56 snaps. Woodhead carried the ball 15 times for 54 yards and gained another 14 on two catches.
The Patriots let him go after the 2012 season and he signed a two-year, $3.5 million contract with the Chargers in March, a deal that included a $1 million signing bonus. The Chargers wanted a threat in the backfield that would be hard to account for in open space. He was that and more Sunday as he cut through big holes his offensive line established.
"I just try to take advantage of every opportunity I'm given. Our offensive line was great today and set the tempo early," Woodhead said. "We ran and ran and we just build momentum."
Woodhead was there so many times on Sunday like he was in New England. Every time Rivers needed a big play to put the game away in the second half, it was Woodhead's number that was called. He carried the ball three times on San Diego's opening drive of the third quarter, which ended in a touchdown that put the Chargers ahead for good.
Now, as was the case in New England with Tom Brady, Woodhead is into the second round with a playoff-proven quarterback. Rivers was spectacular only in his efficiency Sunday, throwing just 16 passes and completing 12 for 128 yards and a touchdown and a 118.8 quarterback rating.
"Philip is a great quarterback who has done it in the past in the playoffs," Woodhead said. "Everybody knows he's a great quarterback. We went about our business and just executed today."
|Fantasy Football: Week 6 waiver wire
|10.08.13 at 10:52 am ET
Welcome to the Week 6 waiver wire. As always, these are strong pickup options in typical 10-team leagues. Obviously, they are even better options if they happen to be available in larger formats. The ownership rates have been obtained from Yahoo! and represents ownership rates in all its leagues. If you are looking for more obscure talent, you should head on over to Rotobahn.com, where we cater to those who play in larger leagues. I'll be adding talent throughout the day as I continue to work through the Week 5 games. I'll be back on Friday with my starts and sits column and the Fantasy Football Podcast with Jim Hackett. If you need any last-minute lineup help, feel free to join our Sunday morning chat here at WEEI. It's all sponsored by our friends at Mohegan Sun.
Jay Cutler, Bears
He's still unowned in 41 percent of leagues, and he should be owned in almost all leagues. The new offense has allowed Cutler to post fantasy-viable numbers even in defeat. With Alshon Jeffery starting to establish himself, the Bears are becoming very hard to defend on the outside.
Terrelle Pryor, Raiders
He's playing well and he's over his recent concussion. You can still add him in 71 percent of leagues, and I'd be adding him if I needed more upside at quarterback. Pryor is getting it done with his arm and with his feet.
Sam Bradford, Rams
He's not perfect, but he can post very good numbers when the matchup is right. Bradford has the 10th-most points in fantasy football among quarterbacks. He makes a nice QB2 for sure, especially if he has a nice matchup when your QB1 has his bye week.
Joe Flacco, Ravens
You can get him in 40 percent of leagues, and he has a home start against Green Bay this week. That's a decent fantasy play if your starter is on the bye or if you were starting Michael Vick.
Nick Foles, Eagles
If you own Vick and all else fails, you can turn to Foles and get decent play. Foles looked up to the task last week when he filled in for the injured Vick, and that's expected to continue in Week 6. In fact, if Foles plays well enough, he could steal the gig.
|Fantasy Football: Week 5 waiver wire
|10.01.13 at 11:11 am ET
Welcome to the Week 5 waiver wire. A lot of last week's hot names have been snatched up, so the inventory of targets is not what it was as we hit the second week of byes. Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Washington will be resting this week. As always, I will be doing my expanded waiver wire over at Rotobahn.com. If you play in a league with 12 or more teams, we've got you covered. The players listed here represent the best available talent based on percentages derived from Yahoo's database and should meet your needs if you play in leagues with 10 teams or less.
Jay Cutler, Bears
He played a poor game in Week 4, but he was still a fantasy asset. That's the benefit of having improved weapons and protection, not to mention an improved scheme. Cutler should be owned everywhere, yet he is available in 42 percent of leagues.
Matt Schaub, Texans
He's available in 45 percent of leagues and he's a fantasy asset. He held up against Seattle better than most quarterbacks have and his schedule gets better from here on out. Schaub can help you if you lack a second option at quarterback.
Terrelle Pryor, Raiders
He's available in 78 percent of leagues and he has a lot of weekly upside. I like him a lot as a matchup play due to his high-end athleticism and his penchant for picking up extra fantasy points with his feet. He should be over his concussion for Week 5.
Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins
He's a available in 78 percent of leagues. The coaching staff is letting him throw it a ton. He can help you if you need a QB. He's a matchup play, so check his schedule against your QB1's bye week.

We already know that Doug Martin is clearly better than David Wilson. But its alarming that a 6th round pick in Alfred Morris is waaaay better than Wilson too. Our draft was a joke, even Reuben Randle is running the wrong routes...I miss Mario Manningham.
David Wilson, get your game up son, you are a straight up bum. You cant pass protect, and can not beat Fletcher to the corner. What was Reese thinking, did he push the panic button when Tampa Bay outsmarted him?

I just watched the elite Brees throw five INTs with another taken off for a defensive penalty.
Going by the fact every QB has a terrible day, I'm willing to bet the Ravens consider Joe a top 10 QB and will pay him based on that.
I don't think Joe leaves Baltimore, and when all is said and done Steve and Ozzie will make it work. They know what Joe gives them, and they know he instantly makes 10 teams better. If Joe hit the market he would land with any one of these teams without even batting an eye:
Arizona Cardinals
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
St. Louis Rams
Oakland Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs
Cleveland Browns
Philadelphia Eagles
Seattle Seahawks
Buffalo Bills
The Ravens aren't giving up their most successful QB in franchise history just to start over again because he struggled on the road this year. No way.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
Arizona and Kansas City, Joe will never make it back to Baltimore if he hits the open market. I don't want to see the team let him go but I also don't want to see the cap bogged down by his contract, like Peyton Manning's did the Colts. Joe simply isnt the guy that can carry a team on his shoulders consistently.
But the alternative is to let Joe walk and then what? Who is coming in here to keep the Ravens going to the playoffs? That's the other piece to this. If the Ravens let Joe walk, who QB's this team?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
I wouldn't replace - I'd say add Vikings and Jets. I'd also add Dolphins.
Moot point though. There is zippy chance of Joe hitting the open market. He's going to get his deal, and it will put him among the top tier of QB's in terms of salary, whether or not a handful of fans agree with it or not.
Nah, the Dolphins have Tannyhill. That kid is looking like he might be a keeper. Luck and RGIII are having great years but Tannyhill is showing that he belongs at the QB position.
What is a quarterback worth who has won 58 of his last 84 games - that's a 69% winning percentage. There is NO quarterback in the NFL who has won more games over the same period. If Joe were ever to hit the open market he would be snatched up in a heartbeat by any one of a number of QB deficient teams. Joe would be a Jet by the end of the first day of free agency!.

Wow, this is a great shot!! I need to look for more landmarks.

This is a great shot, it could easily be from the 19th century
(if you ignore the cranes and new skyscraper).
November 29, 2007
very nice B&W post-processing and good composition. In a few years the docklands will be gone to be replaced with riverfront apartments so now is the time to photograph this section of the city!

For a dose of classic California beauty, endless views and dramatic boulders, hike to Eagle Rock in Topanga State Park, the worlds largest (at 14,000 acres) wildland within the boundaries of a major city. While picnic areas attract crowds of suburban families on the weekends, the trails are usually very open, luring naturalists and runners. Springtime is lovely with meadows in bloom and rare wild flowers sprinkled alongside sycamores and oaks on the 7.5-mile loop trail. Stick to the morning or afternoon for optimal viewing of native flora, and you might see a critter or two. From Topanga Canyon Boulevard, head east for one mile on Entrada Road, then follow signs for Topanga State Park. Park in the lot for $4, or if youre feeling frugal park down the road. Look for the Eagle Spring Road to take you up to Eagle Rock. The park closes at dusk. (310) 455-2465, parks.ca.gov/ default.asp?page_id=25336. Jacqueline Bolbat
While the Eureka zeppelin technically is berthed in San Francisco, it makes frequent trips south to offer L.A.s thrill-seekers sky rides aboard the only passenger airship in America. The zeppelin is 60 feet longer than the biggest blimp and 15 feet longer than a 747, with a cabin that holds just 12 passengers. But despite its small size, it already has flown more than 5,000 people for special events, custom charter flights and a variety of public tours, cruising at a steady speed of 35 to 40 miles an hour. The ships hull is made from material that comes from the same company that makes NASAs space suits and is filled with non-flammable helium. On windy days, boarding can be a challenge, but once inside the cabin, its quiet and peaceful, with big windows that allow for extended sightseeing; even the bathroom has a view. One of only three zeppelins in the world, Eureka serves as a modern-day example of historic aviation, but with innovative, high-tech components that look to the future. Thirty-minute flights start at $199 per person. But dont you dare call it a blimp; its a zeppelin. airshipventures.com/ tours-los_angeles.php. Tanja M. Laden

Top Markleting Agency Plagiarism, unprofessional, arrogant, interrupts incessantly Lake Stevens Washington

After 30 months of not being listened to, and being interrupted relentlessly during every conversation, we had had enough.
I told Mr. Sherman that we were changing web hosts. He began to explain himself, but I could not tolerate another conversation with this arrogant youngster. I asked him to supply our new hosts with passwords. After three days I contacted him again via e-mail. I wrote something like "c'mon man just get it done".
He sent the passwords but refused to cooperate with our new host. I asked him "Do you really want to do this and create acrimony with an established company?" He still refused.
In the ensuing days we discovered that the phone number on our website had not been changed. I contacted Top Marketing again and was told that they had submitted the change. They may have I don't know. I realize now that it takes time to change things. In the meantime any reputable, professional company would forward calls don't you think? They didn't. I had some friends call to ask about landscaping. At first they were hung up on, and soon after the number just rang with no pickup.
Then the nightmare begins. Mr. Sherman created a website with multiple acts of plagiarism. He will likely deny this. Please feel free to contact me and I will send you screen shots.
I talked to a detective friend (whose yard was one of the plagiarized pictures) she talked to her counterpart at the Snohomish County Sherriff's office. The Snohomish detective agreed that a crime had been comitted, but they simply don't have the manpower to enforce it. This man (I use the term loosely) comitted crimes against my company. This is how I feed my family. How many potential clients will never call back because they got no response?
Beware Top Marketing Agency.
