My head hurts. An Overdue update from Speed School!
Mon, 14 May 12 13:17
Hi all, I've tried to write this update a few times now but have either written a 'novel' that even had me confused or, things were in such a state of flux that the key points were hard to pin-point for the purpose of a summary.
Still, it's not right not to let you know where we are at.
The design of the new foils is a massive hurdle. There are just so many critical areas that need to be considered before we go forward. Things get weird from here on in and there is very little precedent to go on for our application. We can only reference other craft and situations i.e. high speed propellors, Naval tests done on high speed hydrofoils etc. but each instance is distinctly different from ours. We have all had to go back to school. A lot of CFD is being done but it has its limits and you have to be very careful that it doesn't lead you down the pretty pictured garden path.
The fact is that from here on in there is a lot going on around the foils. It's no longer just water down there. We have to deal with vapour cavities that can vary in pressure from ambient (normal atmospheric) to near on a full vacuum (approaching 14 psi or 10 tons per square meter). There is a world that exists between these two pressures and somewhere in there may lie the difference between a world record or another 'also ran'.
We have looked and are still looking at all the areas that matter trying desperately to find the best solution. We have re-visited our first foil to see where it went wrong. The belief is that it was just too big. At high speed it was travelling at such a small incidence to the water that the sharp nose may have actually been at a negative angle and thus cavitating on the pressure side. It's the hydrofoil equivelent of carrying too big a sail upwind and having to 'luff' or backwind the front of the sail.
It seems that we had very little chance of generating the angles of attack necessary to get this foil fully side ventilating as we had hoped. So the problem now comes that in order to make it generate those high angles, we have to make the foil so small that it becomes dangerous as there is so little in the water.
That's just one aspect of cavitation... then there's the even more random minefield of ventilation where ambient pressure air gets sucked down onto the foil from the surface. That's all well and good provided there is a nice 'path' for it to get down. The reality is that water is flying all over the place both at the surface and down inside the ventilated cavity and the path is constantly getting 'choked'. Once it gets choked the pressure drops and the sides of the cavity get sucked in harder. Ventilation can be both hard to start and hard to get rid of. In the picture above, if we could introduce ambient air into that blue cavity, the difference in performance would be massive. The base area (blunt face at back of wedge) for our first attempt at a wedge was around 0.04 square meters. If it is properly, fully ventilated then there is no drag here... just like on the transom of a cleanly planing yacht... but if it is cavitating, then the suction pressure on that face is around 400kg of pure, speed sucking drag. It's crippling. Think about it. No wonder bullets don't go far underwater! So, if we can add ambient air into that cavity to reduce the pressure then it makes a big difference. By the rules we are not allowed to force it down there. There are options.
See... here I go again and this is why I have struggled to write this. I am only lightly touching on one of the aspects of the design and yet as we get deeper into the problem it all gets slightly 'grey' and oh so inter related. Ventilation can blend into Cavitation. We want them thin but we want them strong. We want them small but we want them deep. We want to get air to them... here but not there. Definitely not there etc etc.
We have been around many design loops. We're on the M25 of design loops. "Can't get off there, too much drag". "Can't pull off there either, too weak". We have to consider how we maintain ride height, choppy water, safety margins, low speed performance... and so on.
It really is hard to say if we aren't over analysing the whole problem. Maybe we are a lot closer to a solution than we think and simply aiming too high. We don't have to go that much quicker. Maybe some slightly smaller foils than what we had will do the trick. Just small enough to keep enough angle to avoid the pretty picture above. WE now have models for 'T' foils, 'L' shaped foils, Straight foils and have looked at all means of supporting them and reconfiguring the boat. We have looked at stepped profiles, wedge profiles, cambered wedges, pinched parabolas, stepped pinched parabolas, parabolic wedges. Everything is considered and there is still no clear favourite. The final total package has to tick all the boxes.
This is the problem at the frontier. The path forward is not illuminated. We look back at the problems confronting the first through the Sound Barrier and think "Hey, that was no real problem in the end. What were they worried about". We think that with hindsight. The fact is that until you have done it... or someone has done it... you just don't know for sure. These projects are often fragile on many fronts and we simply can't afford to get it wrong too many times. It can all come to an end in many ways.
Right here I will stop myself. If I keep going on this blog will get out of control and I won't send it... again.
-VESTAS Sailrocket 2 remains on location in Namibia. She has proven herself to be able to reliably take us up to the limit. Getting to this stage alone is a big result and not to be underestimated. We now need to plug the right foil into the boat. We believe that we will be able to work out if it is good or not quite quickly.
-We are working flat out on solving this foil problem. The project is by no means standing still. CFD and complex VPP's (velocity prediction programs) are running all the time.
-VESTAS are standing by us all the way here. We all know that times are tight and thus we are being as tight with our budget as is practical. Everything is being poured into solving the foil issue. No extras, no retainers. All hands at the coal face.
-We have obviously missed this early weather window so we don't expect to be back down in Namibia until some time in August.
-The new foils will be made out of steel and we are looking for help here as it is outside our expertise. It just seems right that these foils should be made somewhere in the UK Midlands. If we can, we will build a few foils but machine time gets expensive. The design budget has already over-run.
So here we are. Our heads hurt. It's a complex problem that we can's stand not to understand. I personally think about it constantly. It feels like the last piece of the puzzle that we desperately want to complete. Chris, his team at AEROTROPE and Malcolm are putting a lot of work into this. We will apply the methodology that has brought us this far. Some times the battles are in the build shed with material processing, some times they are on the water with the elements. This one is in the understanding of a theoretical world.
I can't wait to plug all this back into reality down in Namibia.
We are getting there... and IT WILL BE WORTH IT!
Cheers, Paul.
Foil experimentation option
Submitted by Martin on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 13:46.Hello Paul and SailRocket team,
My head also hurts considering the foil design challenge you are up against. I can only offer a suggestion for an alternative place to look for insights:
Unlimited hydroplanes appear to have skegs to help them grip the water as they turn during their circuits. I realise they don't have the constraint of needing to minimise drag on those skegs, but would be worth establishing their arrangement. Such a hydroplane might also offer an affordable test bed to assess different foil configurations for VSR2 if you could gain the voluntary support of such a team. Such a test rig would be along the lines of what was previously achieved with the Boeing hydroplane HTS but on a more modest scale.
In reading your blog, I was also reminded of Ken Warby who still holds the outright world water speed record. There is some good footage of him getting a blow torch out to cut the lower portion of the rudder off his hydroplane. That was with the aim of reducing drag and seems to have been enough for him to get over the line and achieve that record. Crude but effective!
All the best with your project and also a thanks to all the sponsors who are helping the team to tackle this challenge.
Submitted by Florian Prevel on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 21:40.Hello Paul
Could you please precise this phrase :
"By the rules we are not allowed to force it down there"
I think that the rules doesn't allow you to inject pressure air somewhere (by using a compressor)
but what about doing some small pipes in the foil to have a better way ?
What about doing like f-duck in formula 1, using the speed of the boat to generate some pressure air, that you inject into the foil ?
best regards
REPLY: Rules
Submitted by Paul on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 08:54.Hiya Florien,
Ventilation may be one of the biggest drag reductions we can get. At first we were lead to believe that it wasn't likely to get very deep. We didn't trust this information and seeing as it is extremely difficult to model accurately with CFD or even replicate in a flow tunnel, we have simply had to look at what we achieved with the first foil in more depth (literally in some senses;). If we cavitate, we have nearly a full atmosphere of drag acting over the whole afterbody of the foil. If we ventilate perfectly i.e. at ambient atmospheric pressure... then we have none. The potential is there for there to have many multiples of the combined total VSR2 aero and planing drag just in those little 'cavities' behind the foils.
So we didn't want to have complex ducting on the back of the foils to assist ventilation... but as with everything we must keep an open mind. In this case it means we must incorporate the possibility at the very design stage. If we were going to do it then we would give the air the best possible chance and also incorporate as many tricks as possible such as using 'dorade' type scoops and ducting.
We will incorporate easier paths for ventilation anyway. Ones that are less likely to get choked by spray at high speed.
Cheers, Paul.

Tank testing
Submitted by DouglasWaves on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 12:25.I work in building test tanks, so was wondering where you could test out your ideas experimentally. Two approaches - working at scale and with full size foils seem appropriate.
The problem with testing a scale foil is that air pressure becomes a problem. I am currently in the Marin depressurized wave tank - where they are looking at cavitation in propellers in low pressure conditions. This is a towing tank with carriage running at reduced pressure, primarily to look at cavitation in propellers, but at €1000 per hour I suspect it is outside your budget. There are also cavitation tunnels - basically wind tunnels with water that normally operate at reduced pressures in the working zone, but I don't know if you could inject large amounts of air. Again though they tend to be expensive.
The full scale approach is better anyway as scaling is difficult to work with. That requires a towing carriage that goes fast enough - only one I know of is the David Taylor basin - that is the US Navy test facility. I am sure the people there would be interested in theory but getting any time there would be nearly impossible.
A compromise might be to work on a University wire driven towing carriage - such as at Newcastle university. It might be possible to get a Phd student to work on it. No chance of changing pressure and restricted in scale though!
Hey Paul, I'm sure you will
Submitted by VegaC on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 11:31.Hey Paul, I'm sure you will overcome all your problems soon! I bet you are looking forward to finish your job and come back home from Namibia in August, catch up with friends, have a good drink or maybe play scrabble using scrabble cheat (depending on how tired you are :)) Anyways, thanks for keeping us posted, I've been stalkering your blog for quite a while and find it just exciting! Don't give up!
Foil M'fg
Submitted by windrush on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 01:44.Mate , good update, have you considered if the Cosworth guys could help with the machining time?
Got to be someone who's keen to be involved that has good CNC machines available as a sponsorship.
RE... Foil M'FG
Submitted by Paul on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 08:24.Hiya Brett, yeah, that's the plan. If we make T foils then it should be pretty straight forward as the sections i.e. the strut and the base can be made separately out of realtively thin 'slabs'. An L foil would be a little more tricky. Either way, they are going to be thin and need to be tough. It's crazy how small the next ones are going to be. They are going to look silly compared to the old ones.
I hope all's well over West.
Cheers, Paul
Submitted by P.Flados on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 01:22.Keep on plugging and when you can, keep on posting.
I keep dreaming up schemes as to how to do 55 to 65 knot foil testing on the cheap, but none pan out as worth mentioning.
I am convinced that your project has taken the most logical, systematic approach to pushing through the barrier that has been such a challenge since Longshot seems to have run up against it.
All I can say at this point is that I feel for you guys and can only hope that the effort will produce one or more workable solutions soon.
RE: Persistance
Submitted by Paul on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 08:40.Hi Paul,
How to do high speed foil testing on the cheap is another 'loop' we have been around many times. Before this project even started it was one of the first considerations. In some ways it drove the final design of VSR2 where we settled on designing the most powerful, stable and reliable sailing boat we could that would give even the worst foil the best chance of success. The boat itself is our test bench. It is designed to survive a total foil failure at 65 knots i.e. it's aerodynamically and hydrodynamically stable. Like all extreme safety options, I hope I don't have to rely on this aspect. Having said that, our new foils are going to be very small. If the submerged T lets go... it will let go hard. It will only be the boats aerodynamics that save us. It is why I'm in the front and the beam is the size it is and at the back. I can't flip like VSR1. The back of the boat will lift but this time the apparent wind will push the beam back down rather than lift it up. The trick is that it has to do it quite quickly. We set 4 degrees pitch down as the limit. If we hit 6 degrees then we are on the tipping point of a nose-dive as the forward planing surface will have lost its angle to the water. This would be ugly. Of course the back of the boat would also be largely kicking sideways which would have the effect of sheeting out the wing.
We may still do some tests with the strut section off the back of a high speed boat. I'm referring to the strut that will act as the upright on the T to connect the active foil to the boat. This will be surface piercing and operating at very low incidence. Just enough to carry the static weight of the boat but then probably twisted to have no incidence as it gets deeper towards the foil. We would be purely interested in seeing how well this base ventilates and also seeing how it tends to side ventilate at low incidence. It should be a straightforward test. As the loads would be low it could be made out of cheaper material. We'll see.
Nice to hear from you.
Submitted by morgan on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 06:26.Keep going guys. Have everything crossed for you and expecting big things this year!
Submitted by jdauden on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 20:38.Hey Paul, thanks for the update - I am always waiting for news, and have no doubt you will get there!!
I know NOTHING about foils, but was quite impressed with these guys - they are in GB too, and it seems they have figured out the ventilation thing in their cat - sure enough in a clearly different range of speeds...50 knots is a VERY different story!!
Almost sure you know them, but just in case!
Keep pushing!!
Always sail fast, and all the best for you and Helena,
Submitted by Paul on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 21:27.Hi Jose, yeah I know these guys pretty well and have done a bit of sailing on their very impressive boat. In fact I was on the phone to them a little over a week or so ago to discuss ventilation as they have done a lot of work with it. Certain aspects may apply to us although I'm not sure what at this stage.
There boat really does some good stuff. Especially for a hydrofoil in rough seas. I think about it often.
We'll keep pushing alright.
Cheers, Paul.
The untested road
Submitted by Uwe Sieg on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 17:17.Hi Paul
Great to hear you guys might be back with us later during the year. I can imagine the difficulty in getting the right design for your foil. And you are right; looking at the solution of the sound barrier seemed unsurmountable at Chuck Jeagers time but once the "wasp fuselage design" was invented, the problem with the shock waves was solved. I guess you guys are at that point right now. Just simply hang in there. When Ford engineers designed the V6 engine and they could not solve the heat problem Ford's answer was "Just build another one".
Give my best to all the Team

foil manufacture
Submitted by Mike Ewart on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 15:14.Hi Paul great to hear from the team about the workings etc, have you talked at all with the Aarvark people down the south coast they are into foils and their manufacture.
Aarvark (Aardvark)???
Submitted by Paul on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 16:16.Hi Mike, I'm assuming you are talking about Aardvark who make the foiling Moths amongst other things. Wrong type of foils I'm afraid. I think their expertise would lie at more conventional speeds. Like I said, things get a bit 'funky' where we are aiming to go. Only a handful of craft with conventional foils has ever made it up to this speed, Hydroptere, Macquarie Innovations, VSR1 and VSR2, probably Yellow Pages Endeavour at some stage and no doubt the odd windsurfer. Only three of these have managed a 50 average over 500 meters (VSR2's was not official... but logged on the official TRIMBLE GPS during development so for the sake of this point I'll include it) and two of those... only just. Convention seems to break down in the low 50's. I'm sure we could all evolve a couple more knots out of convention but we are trying to do something bigger here and move beyond these limits. Hence... back to school.
Cheers, Paul
Submitted by Mike Ewart on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 15:42.Hi Paul yes that was aardvark, spelling never my best point, I realise they are into moth type foils but was thinking more along the line of the manufacture of the foils when you decide what you are doing
best of luck

What's A Mourdock Apology Look Like?
TPM Reader JL:
During the last Senate debate, I was asked about my views on protecting the lives of the unborn. My answer was imprecise and caused offense to some. I deeply regret any offense I may have caused.My heart goes out to every woman who is the victim of the unspeakable crime of rape. I believe that swift justice for attackers, and compassionate care for victims, is a moral obligation.
But I also believe that the innocent should not be punished for the acts of the guilty, and to allow abortion in such an instance would be punishing an innocent child for the crimes of another. My respect for the sanctity of human life--all human life--is a guiding principle for me. As such, I cannot accept the practice of abortion except in those rare instances where it is necessary to save a life, and still remain true to my faith and my conscience. I have always believed, and will always believe, that life is a gift from God. That's how I will vote as your next Senator.
TPM Reader DE:
Speaking as an atheist and a Democrat I do not think it is too hard to imagine the outlines of the apology:"God the creator determines the measure of human life. His ways are mysterious to us and beyond our understanding but when an innocent life is brought into being it is not for us the judge whether that life is worthy of existing for god has already ordained it so. I apologize if my comments were inartful and were taken by some to suggest that rape is anything other that a horrible savage crime. I meant only that whenever a human life comes into existence it is god's will and that however terrible or trying the the circumstances we should recognize and celebrate that innocent life as God's will and his grace."
Or something like that.
TPM Reader RD:
If Mourdock has any shot at all of putting his remarks into a believable context that might also find some sympathy with those not inclined to extend it to him, he probably would focus on the meaning of his "gift from God" statement.The thing to do is to explain that the "gift" as such is not to the raped mother, but rather to the child. More than likely, that's what he was thinking of when he made his original statement. And it wouldn't be that hard to sell--who would consider any part of an act of rape as a "gift" to the woman upon whom it's perpetrated? The emphasis isn't on how the woman feels about anything, it's about taking away the "gift of life" from a child, no matter the origin of said gift.
In other words, it comes down to whether or not abortion is morally permissible. Abortion for any reason other than direct threat to the mother's life, is, to this line of thinking, ultimately a matter of personal preference and convenience.
Mourdock can probably safely double down on that message and stand a good chance of getting away with it. There are lots of voters who believe as he does.
TPM Reader RC takes it a step farther, explaining why an apology here would be impossible:
There is really no good way for Mourdock to apologize on this. He's boxed in by his genuine heartfelt beliefs, because frankly his is the only pro-life position that actually makes sense.If you listen to him and try to understand his points, it seems to me that he is saying that he has struggled with his compassion for what he sees as two victims: the rape victim and the "unborn child." That is a fair and honest thing for him to say. I disagree wholeheartedly with him, because I do not believe abortion is murder (and I think there is no Biblical support to make that claim), but that is a genuine struggle for a person of compassion that believes that it is.
To me, any arguments for a rape exception should be immoral for a person that truly believes abortion is murder. Accepting rape or incest exceptions is clear evidence that one's goal is solely to control women. Mourdock has reached that logical conclusion as well.
Akin reached that inevitable conclusion too, but he justified his implied lack of compassion for rape victims with phony science, pretending they don't exist. Mourdock hasn't done that, and, while his beliefs are fortunately still radical in this country, there is no way for him to back away from it without denouncing his interpretation of Christianity.
Over one-fourth of Americans share Mourdock's views, and they are by far the most vocal on abortion issues in this country. Outrage at his statement is justifed. But surprise, or shock? That should be embarrassing.

TwitterYou know how people say that being held accountable (to others, not just yourself, that is) actually helps weight loss? When you have to show up for a previously scheduled training appointment, you are way more apt to workout than if you just "try" to get to the gym every night. And when you head to, say, one of those Weight Watchers meetings, you are more likely to not overeat because once a week you have to face the music about your daily menus. Now, with the help of Twitter, some people are taking this accountability concept to the Nth degree-Tweet What You Eat, known to its users as twye, is the latest diet craze. The concept is simple: It's an online food diary where you log absolutely everything you eat and drink. All you have to do is set up an account (or log in if you're already on Twitter) and start tweeting away. The idea is that if you are forced to write down everything you put in your mouth, for all to see, you'll think twice about eating that second (or third) slice of cake. Would you try out this online food diary? Or are you more private about your consumption? [Daily Mail]Posted By Nina Carbone for The Frisky

On Feb 17th at 0815am, Engine 292 was alerted for the working fire assignment on Arizona avenue in Parkville. Upon arrival Engine 292 established a secondary water source and the crew proceeded up to the scene to help with extinguishment and overhaul. Other units on scene: Engine 7, Engine 11, Engine 55, Engine 8, Truck 8, Truck 1, and the Rehab units
Crews did not have very much time to recover from the previous working fire when they were dispatched at 1030 to an investigation at Loch Raven High School. Engine 292 responded promptly arriving to find an odor of gasoline inside the lobby and various classrooms on the first floor. Unable to initially locate the source, the Hazmat unit was requested to assist with detection. The source was determined to be a leaking gas can stored next to the HVAC system. Crews ventilated the school and removed the gas cans. The all clear was given and school was able to resume. Other units on scene: Engine 14, Hazmat 114, and Fire Marshall 32 & 34

There are reports of him becoming lead commentator? God i'd rather listen to Kimi.
When Coulthard comes in to give his opinions and when he was at the "Mission control" if I had to hear that for 90 minutes i'd be inclined to hit the drink.
According the Daily Mail its now been confirmed. This is the Daily Mail though. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-1341609/BBC-gamble-200m-F1-deal-promoting-Martin-Brundle-hot-seat-dropping-Jonathan-Legard.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
I only hope that the bbc are using DC as a codename for David Croft. If not, then they are idiots.
Rather ironically, as I was scrolling down the screen froze when I reached DC's chin. Seems it was too much for Chrome!
You know, the the MB/DC partnership ends up working, the BBC will have pulled off a real coup. After all, we've already had a mention of John Watson, what's to say Coulthard won't deliver? We've never seen him in commentating mode.
They haven't developed a processor fast enough to process Coulthard's chin.
Anyway I think Brundle being lead commentator is too much, I mean his gridwalk will undoubtedly be cut short to give him time to compose himself for his pre-race speech and just generally talking as a lead commentator isn't for him.
As for Coulthard I think he will be a bit like James Hunt, coming in not that often but providing precise informative info.
Ok so now I feel kinda guilty. He just put up on his twitter. "Life moves on. Ask Nick Heidfeld or @narainracing. You never know what's next. To the critical and the complimentary, thanks for the company"
At least he seems to have taken on board what people have said about him, maybe he can reflect and go into a sport more suited to him.
Goodbye Jonathan (That is the first time I haven't referred to him as Legard).
Brundle and Coulthard take over from Legard at BBC
Oh no….Does this mean more special comments form Eddie Jordan.?
I hope so!
I love how EJ always makes a point of mentioning something he 'better not get into'.
EJ is awful, he can't even phrase the questions or comments he is trying to ask/make in an intelligble sentence! Then he goes of ono a tangent halfway through the sentence and forgets where he started! He is like a babbling babboon!
Thank the maker that they didn't make DC LEAD commentator, his reports from the McLaren mission control were truly awful!
legard, rip, still youll not get any more slegging, whats the betting it will be….. "dc – your time is up"
"dc – your time is up"
I will create that thread!!!
Now Legard has popped up as the sports anchor on Radio 4′s Today programme:
Well you know what, I reckon i'll be giving Brundle and Coulthard the first few races. Apparently Crofty didn't want to leave 5Live as he and his producers enjoy a certain amount of independce to act differently, hence the stream of guests, the musical bits, don't know what the truth of that is though.
I'll probably stick with Crofty tbh, but I'm all for giving Brundle another go. Maybe it was just Legard rubbing of on him but he really started to irritaite me last season.
Lol, I don't know how he started to irritate you Scribe, he could barely get a word in with Leggard's 'Crucial' and '….is really pushing on now!'
Thank gawd it's over!

This stuff is the best TP I've used. It is strong, so you don't use much at a time - which makes up for the added cost. It tears easily on the perforations, so you don't have a messy break on the roll. Finally, it is soft enough to beat out the other "strong" brands. The size of the roll/package should be considered for price, but the product is not beat by any other major supplier. see less

Question – Why would I need a Private Investigator?
Answer – To help you investigate a matter when the Police or other Law Enforcement Agencies / Public Body can't or "Won't" Help you!
This may be as simple as tracing a debtor, a missing person or a witness. It could be to verify a prospective employee's CV or it could be to find out if someone is worth suing if you are thinking of issuing legal proceedings.
Sometimes you may be faced with more serious matters such as crime. You may be the victim of theft or damage and it may be that you have been told by the police – "sorry, we can't do anything unless you have got any firm evidence for us to act on".
This is a far cry from the days when I was a police officer, when we were expected to investigate crime, catch the offenders, process the case through the courts and bring the offenders to justice. Well things have certainly changed for the worst. We are always hearing about the police being overworked, understaffed and weighed down by bureaucracy. This may well be the case but it is of no help or reassurance to you if you have a problem. If you are not satisfied to let sleeping dogs lie, then you could seek the help and advice of a Private Investigator.
10 Questions you must ask yourself before Instructing a Private Investigator!
1. Telephone Number:
Is the telephone number that the Private Investigator is advertising a genuine geographical telephone number or is it an 0845, 0800 or mobile telephone number. The likelihood is that if the number is NOT a geographical telephone number, they are trying to hide something.
The obvious thing to hide behind an 0845, 0800 or mobile number is the fact that Investigator is NOT local. Many Private Investigators use these types of numbers to try and give the impression that they have offices in different towns and cities throughout the UK. In reality you may think you are talking to an investigator in Nottingham when you are actually talking to someone in London.
"Let's face it Trotters Independent Trading Co. claimed to be in New York, Paris and Peckham"!
Would you want someone like them carrying out a sensitive investigation for you?
2. Address
Beware of the P O Box address!
I have heard many excuses for Investigators hiding behind P O Boxes in the past, but I feel that is exactly what they are – EXCUSES!
The main excuse used by Investigators who use a P O Box address is that they work from home, and they do not want people to know where they live, they do not want clients visiting them at home. This may well be the case but there are many for whom the reality is they are possibly hiding behind the P O Box address to give the impression that they are something which they are NOT i.e. A Professional Investigator.
If you have a sensitive investigation which demands professionalism, integrity, reliability, discretion AND accountability do you really want to instruct someone who may be working in his back kitchen on a part time basis.
If you are uncomfortable hiring someone who will only give you a P O Box address, then look elsewhere. If you ring the Royal Mail and ask them for the real address behind a P O Box – They have to tell you!
3. Equipment
Beware the Private Investigator who makes more of a fuss about telling you what equipment they have rather than showing that they understand what you situation is and can offer you a realistic and cost effective solution.
All investigators worth instructing will have the necessary equipment to be able to trade in this very competitive industry.
In certain circumstance you should ask to see any specialist equipment and get a demonstration of what it can do and how it may help you.
4. Listen – Understand – Offer Cost Efficient Solution
When you initially talk to a Private Investigator about a potential investigation, ARE THEY LISTENING ? or are they only interested in telling you what they can do. Are they capable of gathering up all of the existing intelligence and evidence? Can they understand what is put before them? Can they plan a suitable, legal and proportionate investigation to offer you a Cost Effective Solution ? or are they only INTERESTED IN YOUR MONEY!
Can you trust that the Investigator will carry out a legal investigation?
5. Experience
Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event. The concept of experience generally refers to know-how or procedural knowledge, rather than propositional knowledge: on-the-job training rather than book-learning.
Beware the Investigator whos main claim is "We only employ Ex-Police Officers and Ex-Military"
This in no way means that a person can carry out a professional investigation in a commercial market place !
Ex-Police Officer and Ex-Military personnel do sometimes make excellent Private Investigators but their experience has been gained in an entirely different environment.
6. Policies Systems and Controls
Although the Private Investigators operate in an un-regulated market place, a good investigator will have Policies, Systems and Controls in place to safeguard themselves their clients and each investigation. The last thing anyone to do is spend money on an investigation only to find that the work the investigators has done is illegal or inadmissible. Do not be afraid to ask an investigators about their policies.
7. Trackers
Many Private Investigators now rely heavily on the use of vehicle trackers and use this as a strong selling point especially in investigations where surveillance is needed. This is often because the investigator is not experienced in conventional surveillance or they think that the client will be impressed by the fact they have covert vehicle trackers. Many of the devices used by Private Investigators are cheap and unreliable and can often be bought on the internet from as little as £50 to £100 pounds. If the investigator tells you that you can log onto the website and see where the vehicle has been BEWARE !If you can log onto a website, then WHO and HOW MANY other people can ? Trackers are useful when used properly. Some companies use the fact that they will supply a tracker free of charge on ALL surveillance's. You have to ask why a professional investigator would do this. If a tracker was really needed on a surveillance operation then it would be charged out. These type of companies are trying to "Sell a Lost Leader" to get your business. This probably indicates that they do not understand your needs and that they cannot therefore offer you a solution, If you are not happy about what you are being offered – ASK!
8. How much will it cost
This is very simple. An investigator will usually charge between £40 – £50 per man hour. This may be more in and around the London and South East. Investigators will usually charge for mileage and this may vary from 40 pence to 65 pence per mile. There may be other charges and you may be able to negotiate a day rate or a fixed price for the job. Do not necessarily go with the cheapest quote, go with the investigator you feel comfortable with. This will be the one who listens to your situation and is able to understand it and offer you a cost effective solution!
If you are a Private Fee Paying client, you will most likely be asked for payment on account for all or some of the expected fee. This is usual practice and you should be able to make payment using BACS, Credit / Debit Card, Cash or Cheque. Whatever method of payment you choose, you should ask for a receipt and an Invoice (VAT if applicable).
9. What do I get for my money
You should feel relaxed about asking a Private Investigator what you will get for your money. Ask if there are any extra costs such as expenses, reports, affidavits etc. A Professional Investigator will tell you if there may be extra charges. What you do not want is an un-expected bill at the end of the job. You may well be able to negotiate an ALL INCLUSIVE rate. BEWARE of investigators who offer a "NO RESULT NO CHARGE". Why would anyone do this. If someone offers you this, it will probably be just to get the job. If the investigation proves testing you will more than likely be offered a NEGATIVE result. This may not cost you anything but what you really wanted is a RESULT. If you ask yourself the question "What have I got to lose?" The answer could be – A LOT ! An inexperienced or incompetent investigator could cause you even more problems than you had in the first place by "compromising" your position and putting you in an even worse position.
10. Claims and Membership
Ask an Investigator to prove their memberships and ask them what they mean. If an Investigator claims to have received certain medals and awards – check out their claims. If they are false or exaggerated, then you do not really want to instruct them. Most awards and memberships can be checked on the internet.
The best piece of advice is:
ONLY INSTRUCT AN ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH INVESTIGATORS (ABI) MEMBER. The ABI is the only Investigators Association endorsed by the legal profession. The ABI regulate its membership in an Industry which is un-regulated.
Remember that it is the person who is an ABI member not the company. There is a very strict selection criteria to be admitted to the ABI and it may be that some Partners or Directors are unable to join because they do not meet the requirements.
ABI Members must have:
1. Clear Criminal Record Certificate at Basic Disclosure Level
2. Professional Indemnity Insurance.
3. Public Liability Insurance.
4. Be of good character.
5. Operate within the framework of a code of ethics.

Bristol's pre-season experiment sees another big defeat
Posted: August 26, 2013
|THE sobering numbers from Bristol's pre-season experiment in taking on Aviva Premiership sides away from home are that they conceded 120 points and 19 tries in two matches, while scoring only 12 points of their own.
The gap between the top end of the Championship and the middle of the Premiership is clearly a chasm – but, if all goes well, Bristol have a year to bridge that gaping hole.
In the first half against Exeter, much as in the second half at Bath a week earlier, Bristol looked worryingly short of the things you may expect from a side that hopes to be playing Premiership rugby this time next year: defence, ball retention, kicking game, cutting edge.
However, in the second half, much as in the first half at Bath, they competed, grew in stature and appeared less afraid of erring when in possession.
There are 20 days until Bristol head back down the M5 to face Cornish Pirates in the Championship's gimmicky 'extra' game at Sandy Park – 20 days to seemingly work on some of the more basic facets of the game that cost them close to 40 points at the weekend.
Exeter were clinical – as clinical as you would expect of a side who will play Heineken Cup rugby this season. But much of the hosts' ruthlessness came off the back of sloppy play from Bristol, who routinely coughed up ball in the first half.
Exeter led 36-0 at half-time, having scored five tries, before Bristol's second-half efforts limited their rampant hosts to a further three tries, while Fautua Otto went over for his second try in as many games.
As Bristol coach Sean Holley said: "We want to play an up-tempo game and an attractive game – but sometimes you have to recognise the scoreboard, the situation, the conditions, and be a bit more pragmatic. We saw that in the second half when we kicked a bit more intelligently and we won some more penalties because we retained the ball.
"It's about learning for these players. They have consolidated a Championship status and a way of playing – [but] it's about learning.
"It's about a challenge for the coaching team to drag them through an understanding process where they realise 'this is what it takes to win games' and 'this is what it's like when you play against a better squad'."
If this pre-season programme has served one purpose, it has been to open Bristol's players' eyes to what is required of them – not only if they want to propel the club back to the Premiership, but if they want to compete at the higher level regularly. As a collective, they clearly have much to do.
Seven different players crossed for Exeter, while Bristol had to wait until the 74th minute for their only try. To add further concern for the Bristol coaching staff, prop Mark Lilley suffered a bruised sternum and faces a brief stint out of action, while winger Ryan Edwards had to be helped off the field late on.
Exeter's Ben White grabbed the game's first try, tunnelling over after Bristol were penalised at a scrum in their own 22.
Exeter gave Bristol regular lessons in clinical finishing, capitalising on their visitors' mistakes to increase their lead at regular intervals throughout the half.
A second try arrived when fly-half Slade capitalised on some excellent play from his forwards to go over, before Bristol shipped three tries in the five minutes before half-time. Full-back Jack Arnott broke out of defence, play was moved inside and then back out to Fetu'u Vainikolo, who dived over for Exeter's third, before Tom Johnson capped another sweeping move from the hosts. Try number five arrived on the stroke of half-time when Exeter again advanced far too easily from a Bristol turnover, and centres Phil Dollman and Ian Whitten combined, with the latter diving over.
The second half was punctuated with replacements, which allowed the game little in the way of rhythm or flow. And, while Bristol put up a much stronger showing, Exeter were rarely troubled.
Slade scored his second and his team's sixth try, Exeter punishing a Bristol knock-on – albeit in the Exeter half – with another sweeping move that the fly-half finished, before replacement scrum-half Stu Townsend capped an incisive move down the left after powerful play from Justin Blanchet.
Bristol responded by scoring their only try of the game.
They had gone close when triallist Sammy Speight was tackled into touch on the right – and, a few minutes later, breached the try-line when Bruce Douglas and Tristan Roberts combined to put Otto through a gap.
Exeter had the final say, though, when Tom James produced arguably the try of the match. Matt Jess carried the ball deep into Bristol territory, before James kicked ahead of Speight from the tightest of angles on the left, ran onto the ball and dived over.

Helio Castroneves was fastest in part one of the new-format Indianapolis 500 Pole Day, while big names Tony Kanaan and Paul Tracy are among those who will have to qualify on Bump Day tomorrow.
Under the 2010 system, the top 24 places on the grid are set today, with the fastest nine from the first five hours of qualifying going forward into a new 90-minute shoot-out for the front three rows of the grid.
Penske's Castroneves and Will Power lead the way into the pole fight, but again the star of the session was Alex Tagliani and the incredible new Fazzt team. Tagliani was quickest of all following the field's first runs, with Castroneves and Power only able to beat his speed on their second attempts. Both Ganassi cars go through to the shoot-out, Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon taking fourth and fifth this afternoon.
Also fighting for pole will be Newman/Haas' Hideki Mutoh, Ryan Briscoe in the final Penske entry, and part-time combinations Graham Rahal and Rahal Letterman Racing and Ed Carpenter with the Panther/Vision Racing partnership.
Positions 10th to 24th on the grid are now set, with returnee Townsend Bell taking 10th in the satellite Ganassi car run by Sam Schmidt Motorsports.
It was a disastrous afternoon for Andretti Autosport, which does not have a single car in the pole shoot-out.
Tony Kanaan crashed on his first qualifying attempt, spinning at Turn 1 and sliding backwards right the way down to Turn 2 before slamming into the wall, ending his participation in the day.
Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay secured 16th and 17th on the grid, while Danica Patrick was distraught to only achieve 23rd. John Andretti could not muster sufficient speed today.
It was a tough day for KV Racing too. Takuma Sato missed all of qualifying due to his massive crash in morning practice, while Paul Tracy abandoned his first run after his car went into neutral, and was not quick enough later to stay within the top 24.
Mario Moraes wiped the rear wing from his car when he spun on his first run, but a great effort from the team got him back on track for another attempt in the final minutes of the first segment, during which he grabbed 13th.
All four of Dreyer & Reinbold's drivers are securely in the field, led by Justin Wilson in 11th. Both De Ferran Dragon cars also qualified today, as did Panther's Dan Wheldon - albeit in a disappointing 18th - and HVM's rookie Simona de Silvestro.
Formula Renault 3.5 champion Bertrand Baguette impressively made it into the field on day one for Conquest, hanging on to the crucial 24th spot at the end as Jay Howard's attempt to bump back in for Sarah Fisher Racing failed.
Both AJ Foyt and Dale Coyne cars are also among those who were not fast enough to qualify today so must try again on Bump Day, when the final three rows of the grid will be set.

Thousands of years ago in the country of Linh Nam, there lived a clan chief with superhuman strength called Loc Tuc who took the title of King Kinh Duong. Endowed with magical powers, he could walk as easily on water as on land.
Once upon a time, the sixth son of King Hung Vuong the Fifth named An-Tiem disobeyed the King's order and was exiled to a deserted island.
Emperor Hung-Vuong had many sons. Some pursued literary careers. Others excelled in martial arts. The youngest prince named Tiet - Lieu, however, loved neither. Instead, he and his wife and their children chose the countryside where they farmed the land.
After helping An DuongVuong - king of Au Lac nation - build Co Loa citadel, saint Kim Qui offered him one of his claws to make a trigger of crossbow to protect the citadel from enemies.
A long time ago, three were no stars or moon; only the sun. When the sun went down, everything would sink into darkness. Once night, a glowing moon suddenly appeared. The moon was so hot, it set everything on fire. In the evening, the hot moon made the weather misty and muggy. Nobody could sleep.
Long, long time ago there was a clever boy whose name was Cuoi. He did nothing with his cleverness but to play trick on people around him. He lived with his uncle and aunt who were usually suffered from his cheats.
The legend that follows is one of the oldest of Vietnam, reputedly going back to the early years of the semi-legendary Hong Bang dynasty. It is probably of Taoist inspiration and affirms a belief in genie and immortals.
Once upon a time there lived a very beautiful and charming princess, named Chuc-Nu. She was one of the many daughters of the King of Heaven.
There was a rich devious landowner who used all kind of tricks to exploit his servants and laborers. He had a beautiful nubile daughter. Khoai lived as a servant in this household from the time he was a young boy.
Long time ago, in a village on the highland region, lived two orphans,one was a young man about twenty years old, the other was his seven years old sister. Because they were alone in this world, they were all one for the other.
Once upon a time, there was a very rich man who lived in a village. When he died, he left his two sons a huge fortune. But the two brothers were entirely different.
Long ago there were two very close friends. One named Luu-Binh, came from a wealthy family; the other, named Duong-Le, came from a pool family.
The temple to Truong's wife is located on the side of the Hoang river, village of Vu dien, district Ly Nhan, province of Ha Nam. Here is her story.
There was once a very poor man who lived near the forest. He was able to earn enough for a bare existence by cutting firewood, which his wife would barter for rice in the market place.
Once upon a time, there was no rain for long, long time. The ground cracked all over, all plants withered, animals had to suffer from thirsty.
Many people must have wondered why ducks are accustomed to sleep in the funny way that they do - with one leg lifted. The Vietnamese have an interesting explanation for this.
Long, long ago there was a man who lost his wife and lived with his little girl named Tam. Then he married again a wicked woman.
It was said that, under 6th King Hung dynasty, there was an old couple in Giong village. They were kind and worked very hard but having a child was still their wish. Once day the wife came to the field and happened to see a large footprint, she then tried...
There is a popular belief in Viet Nam that Tao Quan, the Three Kitchen Gods, are present in the kitchen of every home.
In this legend of the Kinh people, we discover why Bac Ninh province is home to so many responsible girls and wives.
Vietnamese myths do not just recount what may be called the universal condition. They also have myths to explain their own situation in a tropical and monsoon land, and one such myth is the story of Son Tinh and Thuy Tinh.

Emirates LitFest at Cheltenham – Part 4
LitFest organisers Isobel Abulhoul and Yvette Judge flew into Birmingham, courtesy of Emirates Airline, to take in as much as possible at the oldest Literary Festival in UK, The Cheltenham Literature Festival. Here we present Yvette's diary of last weekend's events.
Having enjoyed reliving the seventies with Dominic Sandbrook and Joan Bakewell, I moved on from memories of homework by candlelight and entered Writing Britain. Based on an exhibition at the British Library, this session was a journey through the British landscape, focussing on how writers are inspired by their surroundings and how evocative the descriptions are. It was also thought provoking to note that literature can have an effect on places, with the effects of R D Blackmore's Lorna Doone inspiring an interest in the West Country and creating Doone Country, and the Dracula industry which has sprung up in Whitby!
From famous landscapes to famous people, Artemis Cooper brought to life Patrick (better known as Paddy) Leigh Fermor with her eloquent and entertaining session based on her biography of him. I confess to knowing little about him but was left with the desire to know more about this hero, traveller and adventurer. The audience asked informed questions, leaving me to be embarrassed by my own ignorance! The joy of Festival like this and our own in Dubai is finding a gem of a session like this one.
I indulged myself with an hour in the company of Alan Garner. In the late 1960s I was lucky enough to be introduced to his children's books and after 50 years or so he has completed the Weirdstone of Brisingamen / Moon of Gomrath trilogy with a novel for adults. I was enthralled as he read from from Boneland, and talked about why he had finally written a third book. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall was a perfect end to the day.
Saturday was devoted to children's authors, and allowed me to sit back and enjoy Debi Gliori talking about her writing life and sharing her new story about Mr Wolf with us. I may even be inspired to try drawing a wolf, having been given a few pointers during the event. Michelle Paver entertained us enormously with news of her new series Gods and Warriors, and it was fascinating to hear about her meticulous research for all things historical. Robert Muchamore spoke to an audience of mainly teenage boys, and it was wonderful to see how engaged they were by his writing.
However, the highlight of my day was the wonderful Judith Kerr. Having spent a lifetime reading The Tiger who came to Tea, which never failed to enthral an audience, it was an absolute joy to meet the amazing author, who is now 89 years old. She spoke of her escape from Germany in the 1930′s, her stays in Zurich and Paris and her eventual life in England. She is truly amazing and her new book about a team of super heroine grannies gave me as much pleasure as old favourites such as the Tea-taking Tiger and Mog the cat.
For me, the day ended with Ben Miller inspiring the audience to be enthusiastic about science and I came as close as I ever have been to understanding the Higgs Boson particle and the search for it at CERN. Ben's desire to persuade us all that science is fascinating was infectious, although Isobel seemed unconvinced by his lack of faith in homeopathy!
Sunday was a great autumnal day – cold but bright, with the leaves falling and showing their lovely colours. A brisk walk later, Isobel and I met Ben Miller who proved to be a delightful chap, and tolerant of Isobel's love of homeopathy, which he feels has no scientific basis!
I then spent a fun-filled hour in an event with Tony Robinson. This was for children, and he involved the audience in his session, much to their enjoyment. He talked of his lack of formal education once he began acting, and his interest in History which led to his books and TV series. Baldrick got a mention of course, although many in the audience were a little young for Blackadder!
We also met with Rachael Castell to talk about Digital Theatre, which sounds brilliant: top performances of drama are filmed, and then when shown to an audience, comments from the director and those involved in the backstage area are included. This would be perfect for those studying drama at IB or GCSE / A level, and requires only a screen and a large room. Although if Fiona is at hand, she can also talk about the play as it is being shown, pausing the screening in appropriate places.
Fiona Lindsay has been heavily involved in the Festival here, and we also managed to have a long chat with her about her November trip to Dubai and plans for LitFest 2013 in Dubai!
The day ended with a cultural delight – Darcey Bussell talking about her career and showcasing some of the fabulous photographs in her latest book. And I didn't know that singer Bryan Adams is also a photographer.
Isobel has perfected the art of getting to the front of the signing queue, and so managed a quick chat with Darcey and her publicist.
Before a chilly walk back to the hotel, we spent a lot of time with Pippa Claridge who runs the Educational aspects of all the Festivals in Cheltenham, which was very useful, and I talked to Jo James about what works in Cheltenham in terms of organisation pre each event. Some of it will work for us too!

Free Screenplays Whoever said reading produced screenplays, good or bad, didn't help a writer is dead wrong. In fact, it's the #1, hands down, indisputable initial step for any screenwriter before they start their first or fifteenth script. Script Pipeline's database of free screenplays offers writers the chance to see how the pros (and some wanna-be pros) penned their projects over the past 50+ years. Tue 08/03/2010

How do I delete a series
Some books are organized into series - after reading I want to delete the series and even when the files are gone to delete the series but I do not see how
There are currently two ways to remove a series.
1) Delete each book that was part of that series and the series will be automatically deleted. For instructions on how to delete a book see http://amblingbookplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?1-Deleting-an-Audiobook
2) Edit the books that were part of that series to either make them part of a different series or not part of any series. As soon as no books are part of the series it will be automatically deleted.
The steps to edit the series information for a book are:
1) Go to the audiobook library screen where you can see the list of your books
2) Hold your finger down for 3 seconds on the title of the book for which you want to edit the series or group
3) When the pop up menu appears select the option "Edit Series Information"

Steph Lemmon!
I'll be in touch to fly your little Nashville Warbler to you. Congratulations!
Here's Bill to celebrate…
Original Art Giveaway!
I've just added a collection of teeny original art pieces to my Etsy shop. To celebrate, one of these 8 pieces will be given away to one lucky reader!
To enter, visit my Etsy shop, choose the little bird you would most like to own, and link to the item here in the comments section. Easy peasy!
Open to international readers
The giveaway will be open for 48 hours
Closing on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 8:00pm (PST) when the winner will be chosen at random and announced here.
Looky what we saw!
Snowy owls!
Nature is the coolest!
I'm a shopkeeper!
Yes, it's taken too long for me to get my shop up and running and it's been too long since I blogged. Josh and I are getting hitched in less than a month and a half! The wedding has turned into an intense craftapalooza and I've been completely distracted sewing pennant strings, planting terrariums (terraria?), making flowers….
Anywho… I've finally set up my Etsy shop. The three digital prints from the flower series paintings and a set of art cards from the bird series are available – and just in time for Mother's Day! I'm new to this whole Etsy business, at least from the selling end, so I'm keen on feedback if you've got some.
An unexpected visitor
Northern Flickers have been visiting our feeder on an almost daily basis! They are a type of woodpecker and normally bash away at logs on the ground to get insects (especially ants). Over the winter, the ants are scarce so they will resort to eating seeds. It takes a bit of maneuvering for them to get their long beaks into the tiny openings of the feeder. They are quite beautiful birds up close. Ambrose is convinced he could take 'em. He chatters like mad through the window. Best not to tell him I'd bet on the bird.
Holiday Lüt
The exhibition of my bird series, Fight/Flight, has been extended! The show was scheduled to come down on November 30th, but will remain on the lovely walls of Lüt Boutique until the end of December.
Need some gifts? Feeling spendy? How 'bout an original piece of artwork by yours truly?! Not so spendy? Affordable prints, clocks and cards are also available!
The wonderful potential of acrylic paint…
Fight/Flight at Lüt Boutique!
Summer is fading and it's time to fall back in love with the cozy activities of autumn, like ART OPENINGS!
In participation with The Drift on Main, the chic Lüt Boutique is hosting an exhibition of my latest painting series! I've posted few of the bird paintings (here, here, here and here), but have been working on several others. Come see the series in person at the opening on Thursday, Sept. 30 from 6-9pm at Lüt Boutique .
The opening will be enhanced with a complimentary beverage and the mad skills of DJ Saucey, recently returned from Taiwan.
As I mentioned in my last post, I will also be at Lüt Boutique during The Drift on Main, Saturday and Sunday, October 2nd and 3rd from 11am – 6pm. Please come by and say hello!
New painting, old camera
I've finished another bird painting, this one with a little hermit thrush. I had the luck to see one in the backyard a few months ago and posted a sketch and picture.
I am really enjoying playing with the textures and effects possible with acrylic paint, but do not enjoy trying to get a decent photo of them!
I have been using a cheap little digital point-and-shoot for my web pics, but recently upgraded to a nicer camera. I took these pics before I got the new camera, but I can hardly wait to figure it out and get some decent pics of my paintings.
Urban Skyglow 2: Dark-eyed Junco
Here is the third of my bird paintings, and the second related to urban skyglow. It's acrylic on a 30 x 30″ canvas. This time, I wanted to use a blue-green palette, much like the cast of fluorescent lights, rather than the warmer tones of the previous canvas.
This little bird is a Dark-eyed Junco. We had many of these birds visit our garden quite frequently in the late winter/early spring on their route north. These perky little birds migrate at night and tend to fly quite low, and are therefore often victims of the host of problems associated with the lights of our cities.

Scroll down a little bit and you'll see a picture of a baby. I was reminded today of his grandmother, a fabulous woman who served as my surrogate mother when I found myself living in Pennsylvania several years ago. A young woman away from home, I relied on my PA mom for matriarchal words of wisdom and advice and she'd often offer her services as "Rent A Bitch." This brilliant concept involves hiring my PA mom to scream, yell, hassle and stalk any proprietor who wasn't providing service at the level you'd require.
I channeled her bitchy genius today and hoped I'd live up to her immense skills in this arena.
My job requires dealing with a gentleman periodically, who has been officially classified by my all-female office as a "woman hater." He's desperate for our business, but simply can't bring himself to respect, acknowledge or tolerate any word out of our mouths. Why we continue to work with this guy is beyond me, other than the fact that his proximity is highly desirable and he's cheap.
I'm struggling with a NyQuil hangover this morning, in no mood for Woman Hater and his big bag of bullshit, so when he sassed me at 9:30am and told me to, for all intensive purposes, get off my ass, I harnessed my "Rent A Bitch" chi and snapped.
"I NEED TWO THINGS FROM YOU!" I screamed. "I need the work done and I need you to be nice to me! I am sick, I am tired and I have to work all day on Sunday. What can I do to facilitate your being professional and polite? Seriously. I always have this problem with you and I simply can't pretend not to today. I don't like you and you don't like me. But you want this job and I need it done, right?"
Silence. "RIGHT?"
"Okay, then. So why don't YOU get off your ass, treat me like a client and get this shit done. Because I am in no mood, pal and you do not want to fuck with me today."
I slammed down the phone and looked around, the ladies in my office staring at me in stunned silence.
"That was fucking awesome."
"I can't believe you just did that."
"Man, Spots letting Woman Hater have it. Wow."
Shaking, I got up and grabbed a bottled water. "Oh my god, you guys. I'm so riled up."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Um, Beth. It's for you. It's Woman Hater."
"Hi Beth. I just wanted to apologize. I was out of line."
Oh my god. This is unheard of.
Thank you, original Rent A Bitch. The student has officially become the master…

"Should they be punished because some developer from Lubbock (and the Angelo bum who sold him the property)has found a way to encroach on on established way of life?"
LOL!!! First--punished??!! A little harsh, don't you think? Nobody has said anything about what these units will be renting for--if you have ever stepped foot out of Tom Green County, you have sense enough to realize that there are very nice condominiums/apartments in well developed areas, and they tend to go for premium. What will truly be karmic is when these Bentwood Better-than-Thou's children decide to rent said apartments (because they can afford it) to stay near their exclusive neighborhood...who will be griping and complaining then? Of course, then all the h3ll's bells talk will be but a memory.
Why blow a gasket over this before thinking it through and speaking directly to the developer, anyway? It just makes some of the "good" people of San Angelo look ridiculous and petty. There's a saying about assumptions--good grief, someone just try talking to the people who bought what you either 1) didn't want, 2) couldn't afford BEFORE jumping to conclusions and looking like fools for having done so.
Looks to me like you are the one blowing a gasket. Similar to the excitable, sophomoric hyperbole you spewed during the recent smoking debate.
