Elections in 2004 brought former politicians back to the ring while a few officials played musical chairs.
Veteran DFLer Don Samuelson, a former state senator and representative, was defeated by Republican Paul Gazelka of rural Brainerd for the House District 12A seat. Independence Party candidate Larry Anderson also was in the race.
Samuelson said voters possibly concluded that his 32 years in the Legislature were enough.
Rep. Greg Blaine, R-Little Falls, won re-election to the House District 12B seat, defeating DFL candidate Bob Keeton and Independence Party candidate Al Doty.

Shame on Jeff Ellis lifeguard company! Saving human life is not a matter of boundaries or monetary risks, rather it is a matter of higher conscience. The sanctity of human life goes beyond political concerns. Are we to be like the Nazi's who ignored their conscience thus slaughtering millions of innocent humans in the gas chambers? Would any conscientious person simply ignore the plea to save a human life especially if it is within their power to save them? Jeff Ellis is either a sociopath or a greedy money monger to make liability issues a higher precedence over human life. Only a monster or a sociopath would even suggest such a thing! Tomas Lopez deserves a key to the city of Hallandale Beach and should be honored for obeying his conscience and putting human life above man-made rules. Is Jeff Ellis' company the kind of people you want serving the people of Hallandale Beach? Shame on them. I am happy that Tomas Lopez turned the Ellis scumbags down when they offered to rehire him. Jeff Ellis completely offended his moral character and made him look as someone shameful for having listened to his higher sense of right and wrong, something that Jeff Ellis obviously needs to cultivate himself.

How often do you pick up the Yellow Pages for fun? If you read the newspaper today – or browsed a newspaper's website – can you recall any of the ads you saw?
If you're like most people, chances are, you ignore ads. Maybe, occasionally, one will catch your eye because it's relevant to you, or entertaining, or so confusing you do a double take, but they are mostly background noise.
The truth is that most marketing and advertising are worthless.
They are worthless because they focus on interrupting people and asking them to pay attention for a few moments. "Check out my business. I'm great at what I do. I offer all these services. Here's my contact information. Call me." The ads are selfish, focused primarily on the company running them and scream "hire me because I want your money."
Education-Based Marketing: An Alternative To High-Pressure Selling
No one likes sitting through a sales pitch. They don't like feeling the pressure to sign now – before they have the chance to think things over. They don't like making decisions based on incomplete information.
That's where education-based marketing comes in.
Education is the cornerstone of any great marketing campaign because it takes the focus off of you and your company and puts it squarely on your prospect. What does he want? What is he most concerned about? How can he solve his problem?
Your prospect doesn't want to read about you. Right now, he has a litany of problems he has to deal with and his primary concern is how to fix them.
How Education-Based Marketing Works
With education-based marketing, your ad focuses on a key problem your prospect faces. Instead of "tooting your own horn," your ad describes your prospect's problem and explains how he might solve it – with information you've provided. It works like this:
- Create valuable content – You create a valuable resource like a special report, series of tip sheets, or a seminar recording that addresses your prospect's problem along with potential solutions. Your free information educates your prospect so he feels comfortable making a purchasing decision. It is not a long sales pitch for your services, but a helpful resource that offers a new perspective on how your prospect can solve his problem.
- Advertise free information – You use the principles of direct response advertising to offer free information like a special report, tip sheets, or an audio/video recording in your ads, mailings and publicity campaigns rather than your services.
- Prospects request information – Your prospect requests the information, providing you with his contact information, and grants you permission to follow up. Essentially, your prospect has raised his hand and told you he might be interested in your service, so he's pre-qualified himself.
- Follow up – Once you have permission to follow up, you can continue the conversation by providing additional information about your prospect's problem, the unique advantages of your services, why your prospect should consider hiring you, case studies of clients you've helped (if your ethics board allows), and reasons why your prospect should take action now.
What are the Benefits of Education-Based Marketing?
Education works because you take the time to explain the unique advantages and value prospects will receive if they hire you for their legal project.
Your prospect probably doesn't know as much about his case as he'd like to know. He may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, confused or embarrassed. By educating him, you show him he has options, that you've handled work like this before, and that he's in good hands if he hires you.
Education-based marketing works because:
- You can take time to clearly explain your prospect's problem along with potential solutions.
- You convey your knowledge and experience with regard to your subject matter.
- Prospects pre-qualify themselves by contacting you to request your materials.
- You provide helpful, useful information rather than wasteful advertising clutter.
- You save time by answering common questions before prospects contact you.
- You create your marketing materials once and use them for each new prospect.
- You can be more selective in the clients you work with because you have a steady stream of prospects.
- You can measure your return on investment based on how many responses you receive.
People generally won't make purchasing decisions if they are confused, have unanswered questions, or can't make up their mind. As they read your educational materials, they come to trust you because you are providing them with key information that helps them make an informed choice.
How Education Based Marketing Differs From Selling
If you are focused on selling during the early stages of talking to a new prospect, you often aren't present in the moment. Instead of listening to your prospect's concerns, you think about what to say next, consider possible objections he may bring up, and look for opportunities to close the deal.
Your prospects can sense that you are more focused on getting the new business than addressing their concerns – and they withdraw. They don't want a sales pitch. They want to make an informed choice based on what they think is best for them.
You can't force your prospect to take action if he isn't ready. He will only do so when all of his questions have been answered.
- Does he understand your service and why you are the best lawyer to provide it?
- Does he see you as a trusted adviser who looks out for their best interest?
- Does he know all the benefits of working with you?
- Does he know what the next step is to work with you?
When you educate prospects, they see you as a successful lawyer who understands their problem and can help them. They choose to work with you because they perceive you as a trusted adviser not a salesperson looking for business at any cost.

Sutil expecting improved Force India in Singapore
Sahara Force India
Adrian Sutil is expecting Force India to put in an improved performance at this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.
Force India has scored just two points across the last four races, courtesy of ninth place for Sutil in Belgium.
'Since the new tyres came in it was clearly a step down for us,' Sutil said.
'We used to be able to do one less stop in the race which was a big advantage compared to others and also the general balance of the car was much better and we lost it a little bit now, last few races. Spa was still OK but Monza was a big disappointment. Coming here of course we try to improve our performance again.'
'I don't think we get everything out of our package and...

Commentary: Yahoo, please don't mess with the goat ropers
resize text | Tweet |
Maynard Hogberg, chair of the Iowa State University animal science department, said, "Enrollment in animal science at Iowa State has set new records for the past six years. Over 95 percent of our recent graduates have found jobs, and the average starting salary exceeded $38,000 per year."
In an effort to learn how to improve the animal science curriculum at Iowa State and better serve students, a survey of graduates from 2004 to 2009 was conducted by professor Steve Lonergan. The study found "a diverse group of opportunities available for our graduates," he says.
Jobs listed by those graduates include the following:
Commodity Group
Companion Animal Management
Equine Management
Graduate School in Animal Sciences
Human Medicine Research
Livestock and Poultry Genetics
Livestock Production and Management
Meat, Egg or Dairy food processing
Sales of feed, equipment or pharmaceuticals
Sales of livestock genetics
Seed Sales
Veterinary Assistant
Veterinary School
And there are many more jobs for those with degrees other than animal science. Just check out the postings on the Facebook page "I studied agriculture and I have a job." Yahoo didn't make many ag friends with their story, but it sure seemed to rally the aggies around the industry that feeds America and the world.
Here's a sampling of the Facebook posts:
From Sara Jane: "I haven't even graduated yet with my degree in agriculture and I've already accepted a position with a major seed company. Take that, Yahoo!"
From Lacey: "I have a degree in Agricultural Systems and Environment and am currently the Assistant Winemaker for a family owned winery in CA."
From Alissa: "I have Agriculture Business and Agriculture Economics bachelors degrees from South Dakota State University and worked in my chosen field of Agriculture Finance directly after receiving my degrees."
From Amanda: "I have a degree from Michigan State University in Agriscience with concentrations in Education and Communications. While in school I had six internships, all in agriculture. Within three weeks of graduation, I had six - count 'em, SIX - job offers. I now work for an integrated marketing agency in Minneapolis, working on a multi-million dollar client in the agriculture industry. I'd say my degree was pretty darn useful."
Yahoo, please don't mess with the goat ropers!

......Response from the LGBT CommunityA request through e-mail was sent to PT's In House Programme Manager to advertise the event on his regular Yahoo groups. There was no reply from him. Fellow ex-gay survivor Pang Kee Teik was most accommodating; he sent out messages to all the member of the Sexualiti Merdeka Facebook Group. However, no one from the group showed up. The Malaysian Human Rights Council and Joint Action Group For Gender Equality (JAG) were also notified via e-mail. There was no e-mail reply, and no representatives from either group. This may be a sign that most gays and lesbians, or even those working on sexuality and human rights, still do not regard trans violence something worth their time or importance, even though those perceived to be transgender have same risks of violence in Malaysia.Most of the participants this year felt bored and have a nonchalant attitude towards the event. When the names of the dead were read out, instead of mourning, most of them were already chatting away and some did not even light one candle. Valuable materials that were printed out for them were a waste as most did not read them, probably because they do not know the English language, and for some they simply did not care. It is also saddening that most of the names from the memorial list failed to be read out, because they stopped paying attention to the candlelight vigil. This shows total lack of respect for the dead, and in this case ironically it is their own, and it could happen to them. It is my deepest regret I cannot finish the list, and that they do not consider their dead important.A few prominent trans individuals were also invited to the event, and they too did not show up. This smacks of irony, as one of the prominent figures that funded the event was a trans woman from Singapore. It comes as a surprise to me that an individual from across the causeway would care about the transgender community in Malaysia, more than the Malaysian trans people themselves. This, in my opinion, marks the spirit of surrender by most of the transgender community especially among the Malays; their complacency, as most of them were negative in their attitude, and do not even care about tomorrow.In conclusionI was however, encouraged by some positive signs. Several trans people, while most were preparing to go back, continue lighting the candles until all of them are lit. Some were seen praying for the souls of their friends. And some do realize the reasons why we remember our dead. It is simply because it could be one of our family members, or our friends, or ourselves. I do believe the list should have been completed. All the names are people who have existed to make all of us visible. They have friends and families, and they were living people. And furthermore, these are victims of prejudice and hate, and this sort of violence can happen to anyone within the LGBT community. They do deserve their due recognition, especially when it is already so difficult to track down more of the deaths that are unreported to the police, or dismissed by the media.There are lessons to be learnt from conducting a TDOR memorial. The event was not a total failure, for some do get the message. But I find it shocking that in comparison to the TDOR event last year, cisgenders seem to care more about trans people than transgenders themselves. Perhaps there is a dire need now for transgenders to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves what they really want out of their lives. To have their existence validated, or be thrown into the abyss where they will not even be remembered by their own. Right now I have made my decision to not let circumstances get me down. But unless they decide to do so too, their stance will affect me, as I will be just a single voice. It is my hope, for TDOR next year, every one, gay or straight, cis or trans, would come together for one simple reason. Hate is evil. The violence and murders must stop.

Apathy to Transgender rights
I was talking with another Transgender Day of Remembrance organizer last night. We both agreed that it was important to see who did not attend TDOR. This includes many Trans people as well as organizations who say they are fully inclusive.
It is so easy to passive aggressively return a positive response to an invitation or verbalize solidarity. Actions speak louder than words.
Trans rights apathy is not just here in the United States. It is not just in the LGBT community. It is world wide and crosses all boundaries as the article below so aptly illustrates.

Archive for the 'Cadillac Series 61' tag
Buick Wildcat, Studebaker Wagonaire among the deals at Tom Mack's Charlotte auction
We'll have full coverage of last week's Charlotte AutoFair coming shortly in the Hemmings titles, but we wanted to show off a few of the interesting items from Tom Mack's Spring Fling, as soon as they got the sales figures determined.
Above is the very definition of "seldom seen." Buick only produced 13,805 examples of the pillarless four-door Wildcat Sport Sedan in 1969. According to the consignment, this one was completely unrestored, about 54,000 original miles, never smoked in, with the 430-cu.in. Buick V-8. Just ducky. It sold for $10,000 plus the 7 percent buyer's premium.
We found this sitting all by itself in one of the auction barns, very appropriately. It's a 1939 Cadillac Series 61 and yes, it was found inside a barn, displaying 49,736 evidently real miles and with the original owner's card still in the glove compartment. Just astounding. Tom Mack's merry gang added to the sale's $1.8 million ring-up when this was hammered at $12,500.
Then there was this. Nobody hanging around at the Metrolina Expo Center was willing to guess at a production number for this basic 1965 Studebaker Commander Wagonaire, but given that Studebaker only built about 19,400 cars in its penultimate year, it's got to be tiny. This is one of the Studebakers made in Hamilton, Ontario, after production ended for good at South Bend. That circumstance also made the base engine a 194-cu.in. Chevrolet straight-six, mated here to a three-speed, floor-shifted manual with overdrive. The Wagonaire trim added Studebaker's manual sliding rear roof. Billed as a California car, it was older and a little gussied up (aftermarket steering wheel), but people here immediately glommed onto its rarity. Hammer price: $9,500.

Stocks to Watch: JPMorgan, News Corp., RIM (Update 1)
NEW YORK -- JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) $2 billion trading loss related to hedging could total as much as $9 billion, The New York Times reported, citing people who have been briefed on the situation.
CEO Jamie Dimon estimated last month that losses from the bad bet on credit derivatives could double within the next few quarters. But the losses have been mounting in recent weeks, as the bank has been unwinding its positions, the Times reported, according to interviews with current and former traders and executives at the bank.
The Times said JPMorgan is now out of more than half of the trade and may be completely free this year.
JPMorgan will disclose part of the total losses on the hedging bet on July 13, when it reports second-quarter earnings.
Shares of JPMorgan fell 3.75% in premarket trading Thursday to $35.40.The board of News Corp. (NWSA) unanimously approved a plan to split the media giant into two, separating its entertainment operations from its smaller publishing business. The split was formally announced early Thursday morning. One company will house entertainment businesses like 20th Century Fox, Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel, while the other would house the publishing assets, which include the The Wall Street Journal and HarperCollins book publishing. Google, Sirius XM Hook-Up: Reeks of Desperation
Research In Motion (RIMM) is expected by analysts Thursday to post a fiscal first-quarter loss of 1 cent a share for the three months ended in May on revenue of $3.11 billion. The BlackBerry maker will release earnings after the closing bell. Research In Motion last month said it expected to post an operating loss for the first quarter, citing "lower volumes and highly competitive pricing dynamics in the marketplace." The company has hired bankers to help it examine its strategic options.
Family Dollar Stores (FDO) reported third-quarter net income Thursday of $124.5 million, or $1.06 a share, up from year-earlier earnings of $111.1 million, or 91 cents a share. On average, analysts were anticipating third-quarter profit of $1.07 a share. Family Dollar said it expects fourth-quarter same-store sales to rise between 5% and 7% and projects fourth-quarter earnings per share of between 71 cents and 81 cents a share. For the fourth quarter, analysts are expecting earnings of 77 cents a share. Shares of Family Dollar fell 4.12% in premarket trading Thursday to $66.28.
Nike (NKE), the sneaker maker, is expected by analysts Thursday to post a fiscal fourth-quarter profit of $1.37 a share on revenue of $6.51 billion. 2 Stocks to Buy on Weakness Can Anything Save HP? -- Written by Joseph Woelfel

Mitsubishi, WD8200U
Powerful Large-screen Images in Well-lit Halls/Auditoriums
6500lm High Brightness
High Brightness
The WD8200U/LU, delivers a super bright 6500 lumen images, brightness level for presenting in large meeting rooms and conference halls.
High Image Quality
Cutting-Edge Technologies Reproduce Strikingly Sharp Images
Super Resolution
This innovative advanced image processing algorithm is a product of Mitsubishi Electric. The technology analyzes blurred components of the original images, estimates the high-resolution data not provided in the original signal and corrects the image quality. The result is the clear projection of images such as people's faces in fine detail.
Super Resolution
High Reliability
Durable and ReliableContinuous 24/7 Use Capability
The dual lamp system and lamp relay function enable continuous operation with no risk of the image going out. Dust resistance and cooling performance are greatly enhanced by the automated self-cleaning filter and heat-pipe cooling system technologies that have proven so successful in air conditioners, enabling extended continuous use for monitoring and digital signage applications.
Durable and ReliableContinuous 24/7 Use Capability
Various Lamp Relay
A dual lamp light source offers numerous advantages. Key benefits include the fact that the lamps can be rested (turned off) alternately during long-term usage, ensuring continuous projection. Additionally, if one of the lamps goes out, there is an automatic back-up function that activates the other lamp, enabling nonstop projection with no interruption.
Automatic Cleaning Filter
For the WD8200U/LU, we've utilized the same mechanism (mesh filter and cleaning brush) that has a proven track record in Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners and air purifiers is utilized. It automatically prevents dust from building up in the radiator of the heat-pipe cooling unit for the digital micromirror device (DMD), thereby ensuring trouble-free use for extended periods of time.
Heat-pipe Cooling System
Compared to liquid-cooling systems, the heat-pipe cooling system has a simpler structure and does not require a power supply, enabling cost reductions and a compact design. Not only is it highly reliable, other benefits include exceptional energy savings and quietness as well.
Long 4000hrs Lamp Life
Designed with a lamp temperature controlling system, the WD8200U/LU can support an estimated lamp rating of up to 4000 hours. The long estimated lamp life makes dramatic reductions in overall cost of ownership by decreasing the frequency of lamp replacements.
Lamp Life Comparison
Lamp Life Comparison
Lamp life specification is an estimate based on verification under proper conditions and is not the duration of the warranty. Lamp will shut-off automatically when usage reaches the specified estimated maximum lamp hours. Service life may vary widely depending on usage and operating environment and conditions, as well as users' adherence to the maintenance and cleaning procedures provided in the user manual.
Ample Features for Increased Expressiveness and Operation Ease
Ultra Quiet 28dBA Operation
Fan noise during projector operation can be distracting during a presentation or videoconference. The WD8200U/LU projector operates at a significantly low noise level of only 28dBA (i.e., using a single lamp in "low lamp" mode). As a result, presentations and conferences can be held without distracting projector noise in the background.
Ultra Quiet 28dBA Operation
Natural Color Matrix (NCM)
In addition to conventional red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color gradations, the intermediate colors of yellow (Y), magenta (M) and cyan (C) can each be controlled independently. Accentuating specified colors according to need realizes the reproduction of vivid color tones one step closer to natural.
Geometric Corrections
Keystone Correction
Trapezoidal distortion caused when the projector is not positioned directly in front of the screen is corrected in both vertical and horizontal directions.
Cornerstone Correction
Pixel conversion is used to correct trapezoidal and diagonal distortion that causes oblique images, ensuring the proper aspect ratio.
Cornerstone Correction
Curved Surface Projection Correction
These projectors are equipped with a function for correcting distortion that occurs when projecting images onto curved surfaces. This advanced feature is practical for unique applications such as projecting images onto pillars at special event sites.
Multi-screen Solution
Edge Blending
Edge blending creates a seamless image by adjusting the brightness at adjoining edges when using multiple projectors side-by-side to reproduce single widescreen images.
Edge Blending
Color Matching
Color Matching
The color matching function corrects variations in the color reproduced by each projector when multiple projectors are used simultaneously. This color homogenization enables the integrated display of images.
Modern Design
A stylish white-toned projector shell was chosen in consideration of use as a ceiling-mounted installation. Additionally, the detachable terminal cover hides projector cabling, showing the ingenuity incorporated to ensure an appealing unit that matches most interior spaces.
Interchangeable Color Wheel Optional
Choose between two color wheels, one each accentuating color and the other emphasizing brightness, depending on the type of images to be projected. This interchangeability enables a more appropriate expression of the images being reproduced.
360° Projection Capability
360° Projection Capability
Images can be projected over a full 360° range along the vertical axis* including reproduction on the ceiling or floor.The application possibilities are limitless.
* Excluding use in high-altitude mode.
Remote Control to Match the Installation
ID-compatible Remote Control
ID settings for up to 63 projectors are possible. Setting the IDs allows control of each individual projector when multiple projectors are installed.
Control Projector from Remote Locations
Control operations remotely up to 30m from the projector when using the wireless remote controller (must be standing in front of the projector). When using the wired remote controller, projector operation is possible at a distance of up to 100m.* These options give the presenter the ability to move more freely at big venues, such as a large meeting rooms or auditoriums.
* Depends on cable performance.
Network Connectivity
Projectors are equipped with a RJ-45 LAN terminal for remote operation. Additionally, when used with Crestron® Room View®, integrated control of up to 250 projectors including power on/off control, message display and confirmation of lamp service hours is possible using RoomView/e-Control. Both projectors are equipped with AMX Device Discovery for simplified device management and compatible with PJLink.
The trademark of PJLink is trademark applied for registration or registered trademark in Japan, the United States, and other countries and areas.
Stand-by Wattage under 0.3W*
Stand-by (low) mode power consumption is less than 0.3W, offering increased energy savings and further contributing to environmental preservation.

the cake of five candles
i'm a little early, but i wanted to wish a happy birthday to legendary sword saint miyamoto musashi! june 13th is both the anniversary of his birth and his death, he would have been 426, and it still would have been most unwise to pick a fight with him.
which makes miyamoto a gemini, coincidentally he founded a sword style that used both the long and short swords, the niten ichi-ryu.
he shares a birthday with basil rathbone, also a famed swordsman, and actor.
interesting, no?

Cub Scout Pack 355 worked at Northeast Elementary on Sunday, July 21 landscaping and collecting trash. This was one of several days planned to help Northeast Elementary keep school grounds clean. It will be followed with a once a month effort to work on landscaping and picking up trash at the Northeast grounds.
By now, everyone has added new members. It is vitally important that new leaders are trained, and that we record training at the Council office. Please ensure all leaders are Youth Protection trained and Position Specific trained. Keep a copy of their certificate of completion in your files as well.
Service Hours
The end of the year is a good time to review Journey to Excellence. Have you recorded all your Units' service hours? If not, please do so; this helps earn the JTE award, and helps spread the good news about Scouting helping our communities. Without good data, it is hard to visualize the impact of Scouting.

We remember photographer Charles Moore, who made his name taking iconic Civil Rights photographs down south during the 1960's. He died at the age of 79, Thursday. Hank Klibanoff, who is the author of the book, "The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation," helps us remember the life and work of this great photojournalist.
Once again, disappointed on the Take Away's quick and easy way out coverage of a subject by getting an author that wrote about Civil Rights.
How about the reporters from LIFE magazine that were by Charles Moore's side recording history -- when reporting was an honor? That's the Charles Moore coverage that he would have loved.

The National Council of the Forum on End of Life in Ireland takes a broad life cycle approach to end of life. While anxious that health care issues are firmly on the agenda, it wants the legal, ethical, financial, educational and administrative aspects to be addressed.
It is currently engaged with a Work Plan involving ten main areas.
The National Council's founding Chairperson is Mrs. Justice Catherine McGuinness, the former Supreme Court Judge, and out-going President of the Law Reform Commission.
The National Council which held its first meeting in May 2010, is carrying forward the work and vision of the Forum on End of Life in Ireland which was established in 2009.
The Council is advising on an agenda for the annual meeting of the Forum on End-of-Life in Ireland, which will next take place in Dublin on Wednesday October 12, 2011.
It has produced a Discussion Document on the case for reform and regulation of the funeral industry. NC Funeral Industry Proposals Funeral industry.pdf (0.73 MB, Adobe PDF)
It has also been working on the issues of Pronouncing, Certifying and Registering Death.
In its work, the National Council considers a wide range of documents and reports in relation to end-of-life issues.
Among these are the National Audit on End-of-Life Care in Hospitals in Ireland, the Quality Standards for End-of-Life Care in Hospitals, and the Ethical Framework for End-of-Life Care. These have emerged from the Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme, a project of the Irish Hospice Foundation.
The Council meets at least four times a year. Its secretarial and administrative functions are provided by the Irish Hospice Foundation which is represented on the Council.
The initial council was formed by invitation of the Irish Hospice Foundation's Project Board for the Forum and the Chairperson, Mrs. Justice McGuinness. Membership of the National Council reflects a wide range of stakeholders and the diversity of Irish society.

Don't get fooled by B&B scam
10:00am Thursday 18th October 2012 in News By Anne Bell
THE owner of a Beaminster bed and breakfast is warning other businesses not to fall for a scam which could have cost her thousands of pounds.
And after being the subject of an attempt to get her to part with her own cash after being paid for a booking with what was either a stolen or fraudulent cheque, Hazel Ryan says she has reluctantly decided never to accept more overseas bookings.
Police and trading standards' officers are asking traders to have nothing to do with unusual requests which involve transferring money between countries.
Dubbed 'money muling' the scam relies on a innocent victim transferring their 'clean' money to a third party in another country, often after having received an overpayment for a booking or for goods being sold via the internet.
The scam relies on delays in processing foreign currencies and when the original payment turns out to be a fraud, the victim's money has already gone to the scammer.
Mrs Ryan, who runs the picturesque Courtyard bed and breakfast in Beaminster Square, received a booking from a man in the Ukraine for himself and his wife. Having confirmed that she had a room available, a cheque arrived drawn from a French bank for vastly more than the amount to pay for the break in Beaminster.
The 'guest' then contacted Mrs Ryan and said that there had been a mistake and that the cheque was not only for her charges, but also for travelling costs which should have been paid to a travel agent.
He asked Mrs Ryan to pay the money into her own bank account, take what she needed and pay the remainder, more than £2,000 to the so-called agent.
Highly suspicious, Mrs Ryan did an internet search on the name and address given and it emerged connected to a scam.
Amazingly even after Mrs Ryan had told the man she could not keep the booking, the conman rang her again, asking her to pay in the cheque and wire the money back.
She contacted Beaminster police, who put out an alert on the Ringmaster message system to warn other businesses.
Now Mrs Ryan, says she will not entertain bookings made from abroad.
"I am just not interested, because of the risks," she said. "It is a bit like anything, a few people spoil things for the rest.
"It has made me see how vulnerable I was. I would warn everybody to be very careful."
PC Tim Poole of the Beaminster Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "I would strongly suggest that no-one sends money to third parties unless they have instigated the process themselves and they know to whom the money will be sent.
"Treat any proposition outside usual business dealings with suspicion. If in doubt, leave well alone or contact Dorset Trading Standards."

C- A+F Parking: There is limited space for parking with about 3 parking lots. You only need to register your car so there is no permit cost. If you are not able to park in a lot, you must park on the street where they are monitored very closely. In winter it is especially bad because of snow plows and towing.
B- A+F Parking: It's nice to not have to pay for parking permits, but parking spaces are limited. People parking in the smaller lots are kind of screwed, and they don't like kids having permits for more than one lot.
C A+F Parking: There isn't enough space for all the cars and it gets cold walking to your vehicle in the winter.
C A+F Parking: Parking is a nightmare. The staff like to take the only open parking for students during the day and we get a parking ticket if we park in the staff parking/
B+ A+F Parking: People complain a lot about parking at Concordia. We need more spaces, the lots are SO far from campus, you get ticketed all the time,...the whining never seems to cease.The reality is that parking is free at Concordia, and there are no seniority restrictions on parking permits. These uncommon traits may seem like big positives, and in some ways they are. But they are also a big part of the problem. Since there is no fee or restriction on parking, many students, especially underclassmen, happily drive their car to campus, only to have it sit in the parking lots all year, unused, and taking up unnecessary space. Don't bring a car your first two years unless you ABSOLUTELY have to.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Matt Gantz
The good: Getting a parking permit is free for Concordia students. The bad: Finding a parking spot is such a rarity that you may never leave campus again. While that is an exaggeration, it is true that on-campus parking has posed a bit of a problem. Due to lack of space, the lots are relatively small for such a great number of cars.
Having a car is not a necessity for on-campus living, and many people choose to walk where they need to go. There are officials patrolling the parking lots everyday to make sure students are obeying the parking rules, and students frequently get tickets for parking in lots that their permits are not designated for simply because there were no available spots in another lot. These tickets can sometimes be waived if students file a reasonable explanation as to why it should be cleared. Before arriving on campus, seriously think about whether or not it is necessary to have a car before adding to the madness.
