Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: We are English transplants to the USA. I am a retired professor of sport sociology and my wife is a jeweler and professor. Our work took us to Ocracoke Island on North Carolina's Outer Banks where we still have a house (VRBO 211213). This Stowe property is our new winter retreat. It was the view from the back deck that convinced us that we had to be here; that and our love of all things to do with mountains. We have had such marvelous guests at our Ocracoke home that we have decided to make our Stowe home available when we are not there.
Why the Owner Chose Stowe:
We have always loved mountains and the activities you can pursue in and around them. During our travels we have been lucky enough to visit many of the world's mountain regions. Recently we lived in Colorado but have decided that the east coast feels more like home to us, without the rain! (I guess it's the 'England' in New England!) We are looking forward to spending time in our Stowe property, enjoying morning coffee with views of Mt Mansfield in the distance. When we're not there, you can enjoy it too!
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
It was the view that made us decide on this property. Also, it has a great location; just on the edge of the village so you have the benefits of Stowe village but none of the drawbacks. The village is about a 10 minute walk away. There is a grocery store 2 minutes away and there is very close access to walking trails, bike paths, nature walks, swimming pool and recreation center. Its a very easy drive to the ski area.

I love Becoming Jane I will always vote for Becoming Jane I watch it all the time
I love Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy they are great together I hope they do
another movie together.
Knocked Up all the way for me. Katherine Heigl seems a little annoying in real life, but Knocked Up is so real. I could see people I know acting just like these characters! Although, it probably wouldn't be quite as funny.
I know it's not out yet but Michael Cera and Ellen Page in Juno are going to be AMAZING!!! I petition an add to the vote!! There's still movies coming out.
Don't really have a pick b/c I haven't seen all of the movies. Just wanted to comment that I love the picture you picked! :) Gone With the Wind is my all-time favorite movie!!! :):)
That was a good scene too!
Lee Pace fan
i think Love In The Time Of Cholera is=)..i mean Javier Bardem is so passionate in that movie:D He's a wonderful actor=)
Jane Austen and Tom what-his-name Lord LeFroy, oh my goodness, something about a period romance is just sooo .... sexy. Probably because sex was so taboo ... all those clothes you have to take off ... :) I just love the scene in the library, his little enuendos. Oh and James McAvoy. Pretty hot.
Giselle and Robert are winning?! Are you people on crack?! Becoming Jane and Lars' romances were so much better.
So many to choose from that I like! :pout:
I chose Tracy and Link, after my wonderful year with the Hairspray franchise. :howyoudoin:
I voted becoming jane, but I'd LOVE to see "Lars and the real girl" it seems so weird and funny at the same time!
ENCHANTED!!! What a amazing movie. I only went to see it because my daughter wanted to see it. I was pleasantly, pleasantly, PLEASANTLY surprised with this cute little flick. I want to see it again.

Kaye Ballard on being a lesbian, hating Barbra Streisand and worshipping Lenny Bruce
Jan 17, 2010 | Posted by: roboblogger | Full story: Examiner.com
Some know her from the '60s TV series The Mothers-in-Law . Some know her from her stage roles, most notably The Golden Apple , Carnival and Nunsense .
who the hell is kay ballard ?
Since: Apr 07 378 Szekszárd (Hungary) |
That's a good question! I have no idea!:) |
Saint Louis, MO |
Ballard was a popular comedienne in the 50s and 60s, and did a lot of Broadway, TV work, sitcoms and talk shows. She is really funny, and what she said about Barbra is no lie. That is how she is and was, especially when she became a big star a little too quickly for her own good. It went to her head in the worst way. She turned her back on many of those who helped her become who she is today. Look up Ballard on the Internet--that is why google is google and Wikipedia is Wikipedia. It is too easy.
Gosport, UK |
Judged: 2 1 1 |
She was a very talented commedian in the 60's. |
Saint Louis, MO |
Hi Maureen! So good to "see" you. I hardly ever come here--I don't know why, really. Just busy? I hope all is good for you!
She is a lesbo? Who da thunk it.......... At least she hates Streisand.
Manchester, UK |
Anyone can leave free messages on Lenny Bruce's page on my site www.regardskelly.com .
She was a wicked stepsister,(along with Alice Ghostley) in tghe musical, "Cinderella". On Broadway in the '50s with Julie Andrews. |

Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community
ADM serves Car Dealers, Automotive Marketing Pros and Internet Sales Managers
After reading Brian Pasch's insightful blog post about dealers egos and how they can be hobbling their own successes (see here), I got to thinking about this subject in greater detail.
I've already replied to that post that our industry is really coming up short on success because of the limitations imposed by some styles of leadership. But there may also be a deeper issue - one that is the cause of many dealership headaches and lamentations:
Does the Dealer/Dealership truly value their staff?
Here is why I ask the question. When you operate a service business, you are in the business of creating relationships with people. That being said, success would be a direct result of how many people you can engage, how many you can sell a product/service to, and how many either become your champion or come back and consume more of your product/service.
How important, then, as a primary selling point of your business, is the aspect of your own staff?
How many times does a Dealer's stated Value Proposition tell about how many employees are on hand to service the customer's needs? How many combined years of technician experience in the service shop? How many years has the sales force and management been selling? How much value does the store put in its own staff? Does a Dealer realize that when they complain about high turnover, that people leave or get fired because not enough value is being placed on training them, retaining them, or helping them get motivated to succeed?
Don Graff and I had a brief conversation on the way to lunch one day with Jeff Bonnell, the principal of TransparentDealer.com, one of our partners at Don Graff Automotive (www.DonGraffAutomotive.com). He was talking about how dealers who embrace putting a lot of emphasis on who their salespeople are (both in and out of work) tend to get more social attention when happy customers share who their salesperson was. As that social sprawl happens, more explorers come to the store's website, and a marked increase of floor traffic say that they came because they got a chance to "know" their sales consultant a bit better and realized that they were a nice person and someone they thought they should work with. The customers then relate better with the salesperson and there's less "first-sight animosity". Deals tend to be a little easier afterwards.
Customers share, through Facebook and Twitter, how happy they are with a new purchase, so why not give them the ability to really highlight the sales consultant(s) or manager(s) that did such an awesome job of serving them?
I blogged on our company site (see here) about how Salespeople can at least start their own electronic Brag Book by creating a personal Facebook Fan Page. That is a grassroots way for the individual to promote themselves. But, there are limitations to Facebook, especially when happy customers may want to Google or Bing their salesperson's name to recommend them to a friend.
I say that a dealership's key staff, Salespeople, Managers and Service Advisors, maybe even the Internet/BDC team, make up a huge part of the character of the dealership. They certainly merit more than one photo (without SEO-friendly alt text) on a page, buried at the bottom of the About Us menu.
But the kicker is, the upper managers may not see things the same way. The ego comes into play because, as the dealership principal, I might say, "My value proposition is based on all the money I spend to make my dealership the way I think my customers want it." Of course, there is no mention of the importance of my team of people that make those sales happen every day.
What I should be saying is, "My total value proposition involves the investments I make in my facility, providing value-added products and services that my customers want, and the investments I make in the skills of my team. The sales consultant or service advisor or Internet call center agent that you talk to is so important to me, that I do everything I can to train them well, give them the skills to make your customer service experience second to none, and celebrate them as individuals. Because without them, I would have no ability to do business with you, my valued customer or prospect."
If a principal can't make that statement, then it's pretty certain we know where their ego lies.
That's my two cents. (And if you rub them together, you'll have two cents.)
Thanks for reading!

@ Tom Gorham, it sure is and always will be a people business! Transparent Dealer is one example of a way to really show off the staff, and "humanize" them. We all want our front-line salespeople to be building rapport and opening themselves up to the customer so they can be perceived as trustworthy and someone the customer wants to do business with. By being able to allow a future customer to find a salesperson's name online, see pictures other than work, read about their interests, and so on, the customer will find common ground easier.
It is our hope that as we reach out to the new "Generation Y" of customers, who will be supporting our auto sales into the next decade, we have to engage on a level that they understand. In the 80's everyone was about what they did as a career. Nowadays, it's more about the complete person again. Every customer knows what their sales consultant does for a living. What's more important is for them to see that our salespeople have lives and families and interests outside of work.
Thanks for commenting on my post! -Kurt
It's all about people, isn't it? This is and always will be a people business.

in response to Graefleche:
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't everyone use accountants and lawyers to hedge their investments? I would believe an accountant that did not find a legal shelter for my property and fortune would not be doing the job I asked him to do.
My fortune and property value is much smaller than Ms Judd's but just as important to me.
Is the CA suggesting the accountants forego looking for tax shelters and cutting the trees down for a profit rather than trying to maximize their investments? It would show clearly why the Commercial becomes less and less relevant to real business and more and more relevant to some social progressive institution of government subsidy that simply endorses losing money to fund earmarked entitlements and make successful people look like the enemy of society.
I do not remember a peep from the CA when the "big" corporations ran roughshod over the rights of the traveling gun owner.
Or is it just more about the money the government could spend BETTER than the person that earned it?
Maybe the law should be what Huey P. Long suggested. That is that NO MAN make more than one million dollars a year and that ALL his profits be given to the government for distribution to the poor.
Even the socialist hated Huey P. Long.
Maybe I should have read the article rather than just the headline. LOL
Mr. Graefleche, "Even the socialist hated Huey P. Long," but the people who voted in this counry loved Huey and his "Chicken in every pot and a Ford in every garage" philosophy which is evident by the massive turnouts in Louisiana and his repeated victories in every public race. From a backwoods populist to a potential presidential candidate, I can hardly agree that Americans, in a time of depression not too unlike the current state of affairs, hated Govenor Long's redistribution of the wealth philosophy. As today, too many Americans feel the rich are given government welfare while the ever shrinking middle class languishes in despair and frustration.

I stayed here for several nights on business. The hotel was very comfortable -- clean, new, fresh. The breakfast was good. One evening I walked into Lund for dinner. The walk was maybe 20 minutes. The only source of frustration during my stay was the poor Internet access in my room.

Before leading cops on a city-wide manhunt, Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was busy partying it up with friends in a college dorm room ... this just two days after his deadly attack on the Boston Marathon.
The bombs went off on Monday and while law enforcement pored over photos searching for a lead, Tsarnaev went back to his dorm at UMass Dartmouth and acted like a regular non-terrorist college kid, according to the Boston Globe.
He reportedly slept in his dorm, went to the gym and then partied Wednesday night with pals from his intramural soccer team. A student source told the paper, "He was just relaxed."
The 19-year-old even tweeted before the shin-dig ... "I'm a stress-free kind of guy."
But by Friday, Tsarnaev's face was plastered over every media outlet, the UMass campus went into lockdown mode, his brother -- the other bombing suspect -- had been shot dead and Tsarnaev was finally captured ... after an intense stand-off with police, which left him wounded.
He remains in serious condition.
Los Pepes...your ignorant hate filled attitude scares me more than any terrorist. People like you suck all the goodness out of society. You hate because you are ignorant. Not all muslims are terrorists. Not all non christians worship Satan. Read a book..travel..educate yourself. There's always hope for people like you....well maybe not you...
When you accept Allah and the korans satanic verses you make yourself very weak and vunerable to being possesed by devil spirits
One life. One love. Let's live in peace. Do not give the bad too much energy. Lets focus on acceptance. Stop the violence. X
Its no surprised that he partied. Thats a way of 'blending in'. Its ironic that he partied with the same people he bombed, and probably more ironic that while he was at the party I'm sure someone brought up the bombings.
They need to get him well so that he can spend the rest of his life being Bubba Wife
Bubba is waiting for his new wife at the prison
This was the 1st successful attempt at martial law. The foundation has been set. Now, comes the climax...lol
This story gets more ridiculous by the hour. He was acting normal because he didnt do it, he was set up. The bag doesnt match the exploded bag. The old disheveled guy in the blue & red shirt held the exploded bag. He was smart enough to build the bombs, fool hundreds of officers while placing them but didnt have a plan to leave the country, yeah right. Anyone who buys this crap is completely stupid and needs to have their critical thinking improved.
Poor Patsy thought he was hired for the exercise but instead made out to be an assassin...NOT the first or the last.
He is Araby looking...but he was known to party with quite a few girls, drank, smoked weed. He was DEEP undercover getting A's and a full scholarship with board etc Pre Med. I wonder when they 'activated' him?
One of the worst aspects of this crime is how easy the people of Boston surrendered their Constitutional rights. The city was basically placed under Martial law and no one challenged this, yet alone has brought this topic to the national forefront. Add the fact that the police conducted door to door searches is a clear violation of every Americans Constitutional rights. People should have been walking around with video cameras recording exactly what was going on. If one was to be arrested by doing so there would be no court in America which wouldn't call that a violation. Sad day for America and Im sure theres more bad news to come once politicians try to ban everything. If we respect freedom and the Constitution we must reject any new proposed laws.
Influenced by his brother or a pawn of a bigger scheme I don't care. This story cements my feelings that this kid was a cold hearted killer with no remorse. He killed an eight year old boy, the same age as my son, and injured so many others and then parties afterwards like nothing happened? He had no thought about anyone but himself; for gods sake he ran over his own brother. May he rot in jail for the rest of his miserable life. No sympathy from me.
The Russian government tried to warn the FBI about the eldest brother, but the fbi ignored it. Do you know why they ignored it?? Because he was a WHITE russian. White America pays so much attention to illegal hispanics who are only here in America trying to provide a better life but yet you have white and arab illegal immigrants who are bombing up places stealing boat loads of money from Americans. You have little George Zimmermans running around hunting for un armed black teenagers but what about these crazy a s s white kids? If you all paid as much as attention to crazy white as much as you do to blacks and illegal hispanics maybe this could of been prevented. The Russians tried to warn you guys and they hate americans. You all are dumb a s s e s. Focus your attention on the REAL ENEMIES
I hope he dies in the hospital. If not I hope he dies while getting raped in prison. If not I hope he dies by execution.

Frankfurt 2013: New Golf R Makes World Debut [Live Photos]
The opening of the IAA 2013 brings us a fresh perspective on the hot hatch world, as Volkswagen's stand brings with it a game-changer. The A7 generation of the Golf made its debut about a year ago, followed this spring by a new GTI. The new Golf R goes beyond everything else they've shown us in the past ... Continue Reading →
❐ Volkswagen Drops More Photos of New Golf R. US Arrival Seems Likely [Photo Gallery]
I know I've talked about the new Golf R way too much, but it really is an impressive machine. Ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, Volkswagen has dropped a lot more photos of a 3-door model (5-door should also be available) being driven on the track. These photos reveal the little details... Continue Reading →
❐ VW Golf R Cabrio Is a Sparkling Berry [Photo Gallery]
The Golf R Cabrio is, in my opinion at least, one of the rarest modern Volkswagens. Not only is it not available in the United States, or most of the world for that matter, but it also debuted just as the newer Mk7 generation came out. It's also kind of strange to look at and also very expensive. Not surprisi... Continue Reading →
▶ New 300 hp Volkswagen Golf R Makes Dynamic Debut [Video]
In many ways, the VW Golf is a perfect demonstration of the difference between what regular people want to buy and what crazy journalists think they should buy. With four wheel drive and a turbocharged engine at the front, it shouldn't be very fun to drive, but the ultimate Golf has always been something to b... Continue Reading →
Volkswagen Reveals 300 HP Golf 7 : 0 to 100 KM/H in 4.9 Seconds with DSG
We're not going to say it… we're not going to say it… we're not going to say it… the new Golf R is awesome with a capital A! Just revealed by the German automaker ahead of the Frankfurt debut, the new R is nothing short of mind-blowing. Why? The slowest Golf 7 gets to 100 km/h i... Continue Reading →
2014 Volkswagen Golf 7 R Rendered
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the new Golf R will be a very fast car, comfortably going into the 5-and-a-bit second range. The outgoing mode made the switch from the R32 to the R20 name, meaning it dropped the venerable VR6 in favor of a nice, strong turbo. Despite this, it has more p... Continue Reading →
❐ Volkswagen Golf R Gets New Stance on ADV.1 Wheels [Photo Gallery]
The Volkswagen Golf VII may be up and running, but when it comes to the ultimate hot hatch performance, we still have to turn to the the Golf R, which, for now, is still based on the Golf VI. The aftermarket developers are well aware of this and thus still pay attention to the pumped-up Golf VI. The latest example... Continue Reading →
Volkswagen Teases New Golf R Ahead of Geneva Debut
The announcement of an all-new Volkswagen Golf R is a big deal for performance car enthusiasts, who don`t really like the fact that the GTI is front-wheel drive (and not all that powerful). The R version of the Mk. VI Golf made around 270 hp, and sent all of its power to all four wheels. Now, with the teased Golf ... Continue Reading →
▶ 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabiolet Revealed [Video]
The picnic basket has a powerful new turbo engine and all-wheel drive. Can you guess what we're talking about? Yes, the R version of the VW Golf Cabriolet has become an official machine, having been revealed in a sort of teaser video posted on the MyVolkswagen Youtube channel. No photos, no press information... Continue Reading →
▶ Volkswagen Golf R in Dubai [Video]
Did we finish showing you all the supercars in Dubai? Not even close, since the land of very cheap petrol will never run out of V8s and V12s. But we thought it'd be interesting to show you something different for a change. This is the Golf R, built on the Golf VI platform. It's probably one of the only... Continue Reading →
❐ Old People React to Bagged VW Golf R [Photo Gallery]
Bagging a car on air ride suspension is a West Coast thing, while Volkswagens are a quintessentially German thing, even though some of them are built in Mexico. But put the two together and you get an interesting amalgam of themes. Here are some really cool photos of HRE Wheels' special Golf R, a car that ri... Continue Reading →

How shallow can... Continue Reading →

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- This all started with an ad on Craigslist. People living in military housing saw an ad for their apartment complex marketed to civilians in Mayport.
So they called First Coast News to ask: Can they do that?
Well, it turns out they can.
It's a new practice here in Jacksonville, and we found out how it works.
"The sailors are always our first priority, and well I'm not a spokesman for Balfort Beatty community, I know that they share that same sentiment with the United states Navy," said Mayport Commanding Officer Doug Coccrine.
Coccrine can't think of a reason why people would not want to live in military housing.
"I live on base housing, and I'm convinced that it's the best deal in Northeast Florida," he said.
And now that deal is being extended to civilians in Mayport.
Balfour Beatty Housing is a complex about a mile off the base.
It's clearly marked as Federal Property, but it's a privately owned complex.
They primarily rent to sailors, but starting now, they're filling their empty apartments with civilians as well.
Military residents living there were split on whether or not to welcome non military people to the complex.
Nicole Sizemore has lived there for 2 years, and says she isn't against it.
"As long as they did a proper background check, people need a place to live, it's a house," said Sizemore.
In a written statement, Balfour Beatty says anyone who chooses to live there will have to pass a background check, and will be held to the same standards as the military residents.
Mayport is one of the first bases to allow the practice, and it certainly has people talking.
"People feel like they deserve the navy housing, and this is their place to live, and they should be surrounded by other military, but people are people and it's a place to live," said Sizemore.
The statement from the complex says that the navy's needs are first, and military members will always be given priority housing.
And since the land is owned by the federal government, the state of Florida cannot collect taxes on it.
Coccrine thinks the partnership is a win for everyone involved.
"Tremendous opportunity for the sailor. We're proud to offer that service," he said.
The empty apartments are available for rent February 1st, and are being advertised for $929 a month.

Posted: 8:17 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, 2013
By Essex Porter
It's day four of the federal government shutdown and KIRO-7 is getting answers directly from the only people who can end it, members of Congress.
Local representatives said that on Saturday, Congress will likely pass a law to give federal workers back pay once the shutdown is over.
The shutdown drew protestors to the Issaquah office of 8th District Republican Congressman Dave Reichert, who told KIRO-7 earlier that he doesn't want to shut down the government, just delay Obamacare.
"If they don't like the bill, we can work on making it better but they don't get to hold the government hostage," said protest organizer Robyn Scola.
On the other side, Democrats are still rejecting Republican demands for negotiations to end the shutdown.
When asked if there is any concession that Democrats can make to Republicans to get the government open, 2nd District Rep. Rick Larsen said, "More than the concessions that Democrats have already made to Republicans?"
Larsen said Democrats have already agreed to the smaller budget number that Republicans are asking for.
"What we should not be willing to agree to is defund or repeal the Affordable Care Act, when people all over this country including Washington State are signing up for health care for the first time in their lives," he said.
There is another way, says 1st District Democrat Suzan DelBene, "If we had a vote on a continuing (budget) resolution, a clean one as we call it, to open the government, it would pass with bi-partisan support."
So far, Republican leaders say no to that.
Sixth District Rep. Derek Kilmer represents the Bremerton Naval Shipyard, where he says 3,500 federal workers have been furloughed.
"I think it's important to not hold the American citizens or the American economy hostage," Kilmer said. "This is why Congress is held in lower regard than head lice right now."

Pipe takes shorter option to avoid Dynaste 'slog'
Sunday 10 March 2013
Dynaste, the long-standing favourite for the RSA Chase, was switched to the Jewson Novices' Chase as connections reconciled themselves to unusually demanding conditions at Cheltenham this week.
They had hoped a wet winter might relent in time to produce the sort of spring ground that has reliably transformed the agenda at so many Festivals. But the entire track has been covered in frost blankets, which are likely to introduce a dead, tacky quality to conditions beneath. David Pipe has duly resolved to run Dynaste over two and a half miles on Thursday, rather than three the previous day. "Touch wood, he's the best in either race," the trainer said. "We thought that on the ground the RSA could be a real slog, so we've leant towards the Jewson."
Coral make the grey 7-4 favourite to vindicate that decision, and trimmed Boston Bob to 11-4 from 3-1 for the RSA. Runner-up over hurdles at last year's Festival, Boston Bob certainly looks tailor-made for the demands of the race. He has made fairly heavy weather of winning both starts over fences in Ireland, but the extra distance will suit and his trainer, Willie Mullins, considers his jumping a major asset.
The official going is soft on both the Old Course, used tomorrow and the next day, and the New Course, reserved for Thursday and Friday. Each was covered in turn over the weekend, a total of 630 sheets being deployed over 65 acres – the equivalent of 45 football pitches. Around 60 groundstaff will need two and a half hours to uncover the Old Course before racing starts tomorrow.
Three previous winners – Binocular, Hurricane Fly and Rock On Ruby – were among just nine declarations for the first big race of the meeting, the Stan James Champion Hurdle. Rock On Ruby will wear blinkers, a conspicuous punt on the part of his rookie trainer, Harry Fry.
Meanwhile, even regaining the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday with Long Run would seem unlikely to qualify as the highlight of the week for his amateur rider, Sam Waley-Cohen, who yesterday celebrated the birth of his first child, Max.

Chris McGrath's Nap: Pindar (5.10 Plumpton)
In good heart for his new stable, despite mistakes over fences, and rider's claim makes him look dangerously weighted back over timber.
Next best: Minella For Party (3.20 Taunton)
Looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut.
One to watch: Kazlian (David Pipe) looked ahead of his rating at Sandown on Saturday, committed a long way out and run down only by a couple of closers.
Where the money's going: Sizing Europe is 5-1 from 6-1 with William Hill to turn over Sprinter Sacre in the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Wednesday.

SHOW-OFF Courtney Stodden has thrown a fit claiming she is the victim of peeping Toms.
The glamour babe reckons male production staff have been leering over her curves.
The US model walks around the house near-naked most of the time and has annoyed the others with the flaunting of her surgically-enhanced body. But she says she was horrified to discover that behind the scenes, camera crews have been lining up to ogle her body.
Curvy Courtney, who is immensely proud of her new DD boobs, was getting ready for bed in the early hours when a curtain behind one of the two-way mirrors fell down.
She was shocked to see four men stood with their faces pressed against the glass gawping at her. She told housemates: "I don't want to be eye candy. I just want to be my husband's eye candy."
Courtney, 19, said her actor husband Doug Hutchison, 53, would be furious and might complain to TV chiefs.
"It's cheaper than going on a porn channel, dear. They can stand there just staring at your titties."
Louie Spence
But little did she know the Green Mile star was already watching from behind the scenes as part of a task.
And she was reunited with him last night after he was "kidnapped" by shadowy character Mr Big. Courtney was told only she could save Doug, and was forced to hand over all her clothes and change into filthy overalls and a hairnet for the chance to see him for a few minutes.
Pineapple Dance star Louie Spence, 44, had no sympathy for Courtney.
He told her: "It's cheaper than going on a porn channel, dear. They can stand there just staring at your titties."
