click on photo- i forgot to mention our little friend is over a foot with legs

cancellations

cancellations are normal in any enterprise 3%-10% is normal for client initiated and could be as high as 40% when seller initiated. emotions play a part here and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong-it is immaterial when emotions are involved. a refund at the dept. store is harmless, nobody suffers- but if you have 5 hours invested and $100 of your own money invested and the marketing and company have $800 invested-it hurts a little if you are a pro and it hurts more if not a pro, I've seen people quit their career when they lost $1200 least when they expected it.

a medical study showed that some doctors had more lawsuits than others and the study showed

the ones that had less lawsuits is because the patients "felt" the doctor cared for them even if they messed up. the same applies to sales where no matter what happened they did not cancel

because they "felt" the salesperson really cared (empathy). anyway besides the boring details

of sales gone south-- i will share some cancellations caused by ANIMALS. most of these occurred

in time share sales.

a customer is on a penthouse deck in puerto vallarta ($63,000 sale) he's having a grand time

envisioning travelling in style from now on-his icy drink in his hand plus the warm sun on his face/ not to mention the bikini parade down below is the perfect scenario for the sale being consummated and whammo!!! a fish smacks him on the face! I'll explain-the frigate bird who you have seen on t.v. the one that inflates his neck like a big red balloon when mating-their m.o.

is to dive down on seagulls and the like when they have plucked a fish out the water, this bird has a 7 foot wingspan and is quite intimidating to the smaller birds- in this way ,to escape the possible attack they drop their payload to escape the frigate bird-this where the fish came from.

the idea is to get free food that has been dropped, in this case on your clients head. it fell from

100 to 200 feet. it was a Spanish mackerel (looks like a small barracuda with yellow spots) the client was shocked (so would you-try it) and the sting must have been lasting. the loss of pride

as there were 5-6 witnesses was not as bad as the "omen" it presented--this is a bad dealmmmm. i personally can see why the deal went south, but in all honesty i believe the fish shit splattered in a downward spill all across his aloha shirt while going down the elevator and thru the lobby was the clincher here.

this middle aged lady who never really went anywhere was on an idyllic beach (yelapa)and probably wondering why she had been neglecting her valued vacation time in the past.

she had just bought her time share the day before and we gave her family a complimentary

boat-lunch-beach tour. shes sitting in a chair sunburning her tonsils staring at the majestic

sierra madre mountains that descend to the ocean when aaaaahhhhh a monster! to her at that moment and time a monster was attacking her-the beach vendors would walk around with a 4 foot iguana and thrust it into your face to get your attention to get a photo sale -you and the iguana-like mickey mouse in Disneyland-but the lady went berserk-she had never seen one

and the first time should not be by surprise and that big and colorful and horrendous. she really lost it-some people react differently to things- i felt sorry for her she was still shaking when she came to cancel and the manager was furious and was insulting to them-you cant cancel because

of a iguana (see above re emotions)we lost the sale #%@& iguana.

in the warmer Latin climes they call it the cankle, the most horrible looking spider ever, honest.

you can guess where this story is going....our new members from that day were celebrating a night on the town possibly recounting how they got a better deal. somewhat drunk they flick the light switch on in their hotel room and (remember the movie "the thing" where the virus has made a decapitated human head grow legs and it is scurrying away and the actor says gimme a f*****g break!) this would be your reaction too-someone is pulling a fast one here-this thing cannot exist, disbelief grows to concern to say the least as it rose to its hind legs and hissed!

it also has claws, its not a spider per-se its called amblyphygi something or other, since I'm not

well versed to place photos I'll put the photo of one on the next page, anyway it looks like a cross between a cockroach-scorpion-spider-worst nightmare. he tried to attack it and it hid in plain

sight, so he claimed, do you think you would sleep well knowing this thing was creeping around?

they stayed in another room and we killed it in the morning- i was impressed--if you are not i will send one to your house. look for the photo-ambly and i have many more animal induced

cancellation stories-later.

Open source

Open source refers to the ability of collecting information without resorting to the usual means;

spying, stealing,eavesdropping,paying,observing,collecting and a myriad of other methods to accomplish collecting information. the abwehr in Germany during ww2 did a good job gathering
information.American Prisoners in Germany were amazed how much was known about them.

U.S. newspapers were collected by the thousands, some microfilmed like v-mail and shipped by various ways even on convoys taking supplies to England. besides all the Germans who went to call of the fatherland and returned there for the fight taking knowledge back, those who remained sent continuous streams. Turner halls were German athletic based social clubs with bowling and the like, mostly in Texas-they provided daily info. in this fashion a typical u.s. prisoner was faced with hearing from his captors things like-your ex-girlfriend is going out with

Joe and your aunt just died,who will take care of her dog -the one you played with last year.

that and information collected by other means, like in the camps themselves by listening bugs

allowed them to get a comprehensive picture of their prisoners enabling them to demoralize and/or let their guards down. At the beginning of the war German subs would send shore parties

in long island and n.y. city to buy newspapers to see the convoy manifests and shipping dates and lanes!many ships and men were lost. residents of one south Texas town could hear wireless telegraphs on their bed springs,communicating with offshore u-boats providing info on mil. camps in south Texas-padre island was dotted with outposts to watch for German agents.

that's how many there were. the Irish in England were sympathetic to the axis and would contribute as well. there is the famous case that important codes concerning d-day showed up in a crossword puzzle in a newspaper, the Irish were listening around the camps and they placed them in the puzzle. one abwehr agent would sit around pretending he had an appointment in the s.o.e office (special operations executive-London) this was the spy and covert behind the lines clan. he was taking photos of everyone-his posting there compromised many agents. in our times

the Internet is supreme as you well know how important information is leaked and collected.

the above mentioned newspaper abwehr operation is still alive today it is called COLLATING

you can pay any collating company to give you anything you want- like ufos and you will receive

from every country in the world anything printed as far back as you want. why? take for example this open source method implemented by the D.O.D, they outsourced to bell labs to collate all European newspapers especially the rags to read between the lines for smears regarding certain remarks made about potential lawbreakers, it was remarkably correct and lead to their endeavours. I searched on the net how to spy and found very valuable info. it was very easy-how to get unsuspecting victims to give sensitive codes. the intelligence community says 93% of everything on the web is white noise like an out of tune radio-worthless garbage,google can only offer about 25% of whats out there. open source goes even further, its about information you can capitalize on. your open source frequency from your key less entry on your car can be recorded by a scanner and programed to another fob, that easy. people can see your luggage tags and go rob your house. right before pearl harbor a German family would visit

open house on the battleships, their son who was very much liked by the navy personnel was able to collect an amazing amount of detailed information on much of the ships moored there. they were abwehr agents and contributed much to the Japanese Intel leading to the attack.

during the 20's and 30's it was common in Europe to bribe private aviators to photograph

airfields and the like for espionage purposes, it is believed Amelia Earhart was on such a mission

(on the side) as the Japanese and u.s. were busy fortifying islands and preparing for war. in fact the marines were doing soundings around the pacific islands 10 years before. in one operation

they complained about the poor quality of photos taken from subs for beaches and one officer stated that he had seen superior photos from the Dardanelles in ww1 23 years before from a sub ,how can that be? they discovered the photos were taken with the leica camera, so in a reverse open source they placed ads in popular mechanics magazine that a camera collector

was paying top dollar for them, after that great beach shore photos came in.

the 2 most expensive single projects during ww2 were the a-bomb and the b-29 to carry it.

the a-bomb (project Manhattan) was to be shrouded in secrecy but in reality the nkvd (the pre-KGB) noticed the flurry of scientific papers that are commonly sent for review to their peers concerning atomic research

dried up instantly and alerted them that something was up. maybe it didn't help either that

Oppenheimer's second wife , kitty, was a high ranking communist party member in the u.s.

nowadays Intel uses the gopher technique-having monitored as many suspects as they can

a false message of concern is sent and dormant suspects raise their heads like gophers do,

since they usually don't raise at all, the new heads reveal themselves, its human nature also.

new cars have tire valve stems that send a signal to alert of low tire pressure-so even if you take off or disable on-star -gps- and so forth this signal can be picked up by a satellite and relay your position.

More hardball

I just read this long drawn out military institute studies center treatise on Brazil and its involvement in ww2. read it if you want-socio-economic info regarding its neighboring countries
and their Germanic influence which was vast and dangerous to the U.S., Chile-Paraguay-Argentina
were pro-Nazi and had enormous resources to feed the war machine in Europe. in fact Hitler and
his ilk had already drawn up elaborate plans to take over south America and make it 2 countries
only, brazilia and the Argentine with a divisory line right across the country ignoring the other established countries. to get the Brazilians won over to the allied side was not easy as it seems
the axis was unstoppable at that point. this is how the u.s. won them over. they made a movie
about Brazil showing the abject misery of the people and the injustices of a despotic regimen.
it was well made insofar as inflammatory psychological undertones regarding the current state of affairs. the pre-screening in Washington d.c. was a gala affair and of course the ambassador of Brazil would surely not miss this great movie extolling the beauty and grandeur of his country.to make it easy it was like 9/11 Fahrenheit to the government then -and worse-it was designed to create an enormous uproar quite possibly and specifically to lead to a civil uprising and revolution. the ambassador was speechless and furious-film canisters were already in place in brazil ready for showing. the government there realized this was only the beginning of the things that could be thrust upon them by a capable adversary. below is a photo of brazilian pilots, happy with their contribution in the war effort-unaware of how their country was hoodwinked.

Parasailing

Do you know what para sailing is?
that's when you give a perfect stranger $40 to entrust your life with a rope.
Living in resorts i got plenty of stories to tell you. i saw lots of hard landings and many water
landings both provided broken limbs and watery graves due to cord entanglements.
one guy takes his 6 yr old with him, the rope snaps and the strong winds blow him 3 miles
and they plop right down smack in front of a foursome on the 7Th tee on the golf course and end up against a palm tree-unhurt.

i watched a woman on the edge of a 10 story bldg. hanging, with cords entangled, she was stone cold out, fainted or by the initial blow. 30 people were trying to pull her down-this lasted at least an hour-(i had to get back to work ) never found out her final condition.

an ex parasailer employee came looking for work with us. after he was hired we found out 2 people died on his tour , they fell out of their tandem chair from about 250 feet, they were celebrating their anniversary.

at a resort that was still being built, a lady got off course and was suspended from a high crane for 4 hrs, being a Sunday we had to call in the operator to help get her down.

most of the seasoned operators are very good, they wont take you up if the wind is too much too little and can usually land you within a 15 ft. radius. the creeps who don't enough revenue will put you in jeopardy. the inexperienced ones, to save and make money-rather land you in safe water will try the land landing and smack you against a palm tree and this is where i saw most mishaps.

some of them are so good- there was a watch and perfume counterfeiting operation in a foreign country beach resort penthouse-that an Interpol team sought out the best parasailer to take up a photographer to record what they could-he got him right on the dime carefully lowering and
lifting him as to not arouse suspicion--zzzt-zzzt-zzzt a high speed camera recorded everything.

Hardball

conspiracy stories often have a grain of truth to them-often it is hard to gather information due to disinformation. the following scenario makes for creative minds at work, be that as it may this one in particular has no precedent that i know of.

since the very beginning of launches out of cape Canaveral in the sixties there were always

Russian tuna boats present as the territorial waters between Florida and Cuba squeeze the limit from 200 to about 90 miles. these fishing boats concealed sophisticated electronic eavesdropping devices prying as much as they could gather from the then called telemetry

streams between the rockets and land receivers. every single launch was monitored -all of them without exception---the only time they did not was when the Columbia exploded. law enforcement and military as well as private investigators as a general rule do not believe in coincidences -it is protocol and taught as generally accepted principles and this one is not exempt. Morton thiokol is not to blame here. the Russians did not approve of the payload.

most military payload launches go west- and east for regular missions. at one point the u.s.

started hiding secret loads on known schedules trying to hide the fact. the palapa satellite

launched for Indonesia's communication system, courtesy of NASA, for example- disguised a orbital release of who knows what at the same time. payback is a bitch as the saying goes and Chernobyl was it. you guys wanna play hardball? take this! a known and respected Latin political journal (proceso) exposed a scam where all the tainted dry milk exported from Russia to Mexico

was radiation laden and unacceptable for human consumption (corruption on both sides)

they discovered witnesses at the site who saw a UFO hover over the plant and shoot a beam down

that threw the cooling system out of kilter-the UFO was really some secret craft from the the u.s.

if you think the story was dreamt up by someone who had one too many margaritas then you should start reading more to understand the human nature side of rat f*****g- that is what the pentagon coined for the term to describe the activities they would undertake to get things done

that were most urgent, this was back in ww2 in a special office called room 34. if you have never

seen rats do it- it is the most unpleasant thing to see and imagine yourself on the receiving end-

i really do suggest you see it -maybe its on YouTube or something, the term has a reason why the lawyers and spooks use it.

the shield and spear

there was a man in the Chinese village trying to sell a spear and shield, extolling the virtues of his wares he stated the shield was impenetrable to any sword or spear. the spear he said could penetrate any shield in china. someone asked what would happen if he threw his spear at his own shield? embarrassed he left as people said these two things could never co-exist.

veterans pages

place any number followed by st or rd, for example 334th or 221st (you will develop a knack for it) and you will find associations from ww2-korea-vietnam, other countries have similar search results. i have read at least 300 of them, some have limited reading others have 850 pages.
but most of them have the most fascinating stories of men (and women) at war that bring out the best and worst of humans during those trying times. im going to ramble off a few i remember.

this guy saves a driver from a car wreck in d.c.,pulls him out saving his life. it was snowing heavily. the family tracks him down to thank him. 6 years later he is on a death march from mooseburg germany in the snow-the germans have made the prisoners march up to 500 miles
to keep them out of the hands of the advancing russians. falling out is not an option as guard dogs
and angry soldiers would most likely kill them. he sees a fellow soldier drop but since he has the energy he rolls him over to pick him up and carry him--hey, how many times do i have to save you in the snow? it was the same guy from the car wreck!

a jewish lady escapes a prison camp and almost dies crossing the alps -she only survived by not sleeping as she would have frozen to death. on the verge of giving up she hears the famous sheep trumpet of swiss fame around some rocks and as she comes out she scares the young man as her condition is most deplorable. the boy said there was a yeti out there! his family saves her and nurses her back to health. she manages to escape to the u.s. and although has very litlle wages
sends food parcels through switzerland despite the criticism of her peers who point out they will never reach their destination during the war. every week she sent the parcels for a total of 20% of her earnings. after the war she is asked to be a tour guide for europe tours in 1947 as she speaks various languages and is familiar with the area. she takes a break to look for her saviours
in austria and finds the family with 30 others living in a bombed out bldg. everyone else in that small canton starved to death- the swiss post was able to deliver all packages secretly, we only survived because of the parcels. thank god she did not cave in to the do-gooders- oh honey why are you wasting your money on them.

a soldier is the first one in an indian file of a squad walking down a street in france on recon-he trips on his shoelace as a hidden machine gun opens up- falling down the other soldiers are killed.

in italy 7 soldiers are at a table with wine and dinner- a shell from nowhere comes thru the window -after the explosion one guy is sitting alone on a chair no table no 6 guys no house
just the one guy with a fork in his hand.

a german trooper comes back home minus one leg. his father is also missing a leg from ww1
he asks where-thats the same town i lost my leg! what part? a church, in the cemetary behind it.
same town same church same cemetary-father and son lost a leg except in different wars.

brittish flyer strafes truck and armor convoy in north africa repeatedly. when landing 2 ambulances and crew wagons chase him till he stops-whats up? why are you chasing me?
the plane had over 300 hits and looked like a sieve the majority just back of the cockpit,
the pilot was unhurt and totally unaware.

coming thru the paddies in vietnam upon a village the lead soldier steps on a trap wire, the noose
closing on his ankle and pulling him up in the air upside down, and now here comes a mortar shell with the fins still attached straight down from the tree as a planned booby trap but he catches it and is dangling in mid-air with a mortar shell in his hand.
another one-soldiers are moving thru trees and a mortar shell comes down right on top of them but is stuck in the fork of a tree 2 feet above them.

the first landing of american troops in north africa include 2 coca-cola bottling plants!

the red cross hid escape tools in marked red cross parcels for p.ow.s. including monopoly games with hidden silk escape maps.

this one from russia--as german troops move on a russian cannon battery-all the crews are dead
but in original positions frozen in time no blood no damage nothing damaged, they are sitting with shells in hand ready for loading but dead around 100 of them-the troops are told it is a secret weapon that killed them and not gas and to not discuss it--more on secret weapons later.
i have shown this site to experts of the field and they say it was gas-dont think so -hitler and everyone else had it and were waiting for the first use to unleash all they had.

good luck-bad luck

a chinese farmers son was admonished because their only horse bolted and ran away, being the

lively hood of the farm the neighbors said it was bad luck-bad luck has nothing to do with it he answered, but they insisted it was bad luck. the next day the horse came back with a herd he found on the plains. now they were the richest farmers all around with 27 horses-oh thats good luck they said, its not good luck it just happened he stated-good luck/ bad luck its all the same to me. the next day the son broke his leg in all fall while training the horses. oh thats bad luck they started in again. the day after, a war lord took all abled bodied men for a battle looming on the horizon except the son with the bad leg.-oh thats good luck. well the story goes on with the see-saw of good-bad luck untill you get the point---good luck.

critics

An old man, a boy and a donkey, were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, 'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.' So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, you might as well... ...Kiss your ass goodbye!
