(613) 627-2400 Someone called me very early today 6136272400, Other Calls. Who called from this phone number? Comments & Reviews.
Get at least two calls every day .... I don't answer and they hang up. This is very annoying.
Call from them at work. They asked for someone else who does not work for us and when I told them no one here by that name, he started rambling on about the Conservative Party. Then asked for 200.00 donation. I said no. He pushed further and asked for 100.00. Again I said no I am not interested in giving them any kind of support. Then it was just harassment and he kept asking if there was anything I could give them as 'it's my duty as a canadian to support a political party that has Canadian interests in mind'. I call BS.
Thanks for the above info! If I have any spare $'s they will go to organizations that are trying to protect environmental conditions being affected by the Conservative undoing of protection laws!
Since a week or two, i got maybe 6-7 times a call from this number. REAL PAIN IN THE A**. Can somebody do something about that? Can we stop the s***?
Get the heck out of Town. Not INTERESTED!!!! How many times to they have to be told.This is a hint that I received. Don't know if it works or not.......What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # BUTTON ON THE PHONE, 6 0R 7 TIMES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. This confuses the machine that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their system. What a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!!!!Now, If I can remember to do this, I will find out if it works.
got to hell PC !!!! leave the poor people on welfare alone too !!
Conservative party of Canada.Pain in the a**.I'll donate maybe to a party when there is an election. NOT BEFORE.They are P***ing me off like the natives and their blockades.
If you understand that possesses (613) 627-2400, please do not hesitate to publish it as well.
Just got a call from this number answered it nobody on line & no reply then the line went dead. I called back and it won't disconnect, so now I'm paying long distance charges. Not happy. I had to disconnect my phone to cut the line . SCAM SCAM SCAM. Crazy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's the scam, they are driving people to this site or other sites that have this number, two scams in one.
I got the same message, the guy on the phone was calling me a c%^k sucker, and and said he was in India call centre.It was a trip or cruise they said I won the when this guy got on the phone, he said I qualify for holiday.Crazy to think some people are still not aware of scams.
Called tonight saying I had won a cruise, press 9, asked him to put me on do not call list, then the sexually explicit comments started, said his name was Brad?? My husband was listening on the other phone, didn't phase this guy. Thank god my kids didnt answer the phone. Something has to be done about these idiots!!! Obviously calling from a call centre you can hear all the phones ringing, nice employee to have, good luck to this losers wife!!!!
Hi all,Thanks for the info, just got the call and thought it was a local call from B.C. answered it and realized it was cruise offer (also realized it was advertising hype). Select 9 as instructed to get a live person so that I could asked to be removed from the dialer (I am on the DNCL). The person that answered said "what the F**K did you say" when I asked politely to be removed from the company's dialer. He then suggested a few obscenities that I could perform and he would removed me from the dialer...I hung up. I did call to make a complaint with the DNCL registry BUT I am pretty sure that the guy was calling from abroad - these calls drive me crazy!
I just saw this on my call display, never seen it before, didn't pick up and I pay for an unlisted number. Then I did a search. I hate scumbag companies, this is obviously one. Thanks to everyone who posted the information here, to help others keep informed. Thanks!
Just received a call that I had won a wonderful Carribean Cruise and when I pressed '9' to claim I asked 'Shane" if he would please remove my number from their list and he said that they don't have a list. Telemarketers should be charged for invasion of privacy.
And so it goes on. I think I get more of these calls now than I did before I registered on the DNCL. With call display at least I can see the number and not answer ......much better than DNCL !!! I got a call from this number about 20 minutes ago and of course no message left. So I guess they are still at it. I'm sure there will be a few more before they finally quit. GRRRRRRRR !!!!!
I just received the same message saying I won an all inclusive trip to the Caribbean 9 to claim my prize. Who would fall for such nonsense.
I just got one and the recording said I won an all expenses paid Carribean cruise and to push 9 to claim it. I did not and just waited and the line went dead.
several calls from this number; do not pick up anymore...made the mistake once, rude! Obviously they don't think the DNCL applies to them!
To clarify, Canadian companies also aren't allowed to use American call centres to call back to Canada. So just because they're calling from the US doesn't mean they are automatically exempt from the law. Not sure if this applies in this case, but an important distinction in general.
DNCL applies ONLY for calls originating in Canada. This call came from the United States. They are not subject to our laws.
I didn't recognize the number so I didn't pick it up. No voice message was left.I just renewed my DNCL a few days ago too. Somehow I think that DNCL is a bogus affair anyway as it's made no difference in the 2 times I've placed it.
He got right ignorant with me and called me all kinds of names, He said he was from Australia with a reavel company selling packages.
Same just happened ... call ... i answer and its dead air ... ANNOYING!
Just called me same thing. Grrrrrrrrrr!
called when i picked up dead air??? hate these annoying calls!
just got call at 9:11 pacific time. I've received calls from PACIFICTEL before and not picked up. This time I waited almost 3 rings and did pick up (the same area code as some relatives so felt obliged this occurrence) - no one there. Thanks so much for this website.
I also just received this call. I agree that it's sad that we have to screen all calls.
Received a cell phone call from this number a few minutes ago. Didn't recognize so I hit "ignore" per carrier. Glad I did.
Interesting to see so many people posting this morning. My call came in at 9:53 a.m. C. Must have been a "harvesting day" for the phishers. My rule of thumb is not to answer any non-ID'd call. Ppl who know me know to leave a msg if I don't answer. Adding that # to my call blocked list now.
just got called 9:05 az time. No message.
Just got their call, didn't answer, looked them up and it's a robot call to see when you answer your phone and to see if it's a working number.We disconnected the answering machine last month. When they call it's ring no answer.It eliminated 90% of these calls. Now I get one or two a week.They are invisible to us so we just became invisible them because we don't want to give up the house line.
I also got a call today at 9:41 a.m. didn't answer it, caller id showed PACIFICTEL, dont have a clue who this is, didn't leave a message either!
I received the call today, 4/28/12 at 9:53am CST. I didn't answer and they left no message. I was about to call back, but decided to check the web to see what the public had to say. This confirms what I thought. Must be a scam or something. thanks.
This number called to my cell phone on April 28, 2012 @ 10:13AM; left no message.Never answer any unknown-number call; emergency, official and business calls always leave a message.
Got the same call just a few minutes ago but didn't get to answer it. After adding the comments, now im glad I didn't.
I got the call about same time as note above. No idea who it is. This is why I don't answer phone anymore. Sad time we live in. Everything is so rude and intrusive.
This is another scam call. If you call it back it says that they were trying to reach you to participate in a survey but the survey is closed. Then it invites you to "dial 1" to remove yourself from their list. Frankly, I think is a phishing scam to see if the called number is valid and if a human will answer...most likely so they can sell that info and REALLY make your phone "ring off the wall". My suspicion is that this is tied to either the scam-telemarketing or debt collection industries as both are populated with scum.
I answer in a foreign language and the go crazy. I say no English . . .
This number calls everyday. I do not pick up numbers I do not recognize. I have an application on my android called Mr. Number. It automatically blocks numbers I do not want to pick up and blocked and private numbers. So now I do not worry. Any person who uses a android phone or better should use this application.
You are right! I also noticed that the first complaint was dated back in July 2007 and as we can see nothing has been done about it. I keep getting calls from this phone number too and it's getting out of hand. The guys that call you can barely speak English and if you ask them questions about their company they hang uo on you!! RUDE!!!! There is one thing that concerns me the most about ANY unwanted and unknown number that calls all of us: Who is giving these people our phone numbers? Can it be our own bank? credit card company? cable, phone company? This is kind of scary because: who can we trust?
212-777-3456 Has anyone noticed that the very 1st post about this number, was posted in JULY of 2007!!!!! And NOTHING has been done. I get so sick of hearing "But I"M on the DoNotCall list". You'll hear that again & again & again. So, how's it working? No? Not at all?? That's right, NOT AT ALL!! And that's so incredibly OBVIOUS since this number has been calling people and trying to SCAM them since 2007. That's nearly 4 1/2 YEARS people!! 4 1/2 Y E A R S !!!Some phone companies, like Qwest in Arizona have the ability to BLOCK 25 #'s. It's really easy, you just call into the service and enter the number or just hit for 'Enter last # that called you' and presto, they can't call you anymore.If you call Qwest to Order this, please tell them how glad you are to have this service. As a matter of fact, ask them to increase the ability to Block maybe 250 numbers, not just 25! Which at the rate things are going, we'll need soon.Everyone else, either call your Phone co. and ask them to give you the same Blocking capabilities, or go to a store and pick up one of the many phones out there, that have the ability built right into the handset to Block numbers.Our Cell phones strangely have all sorts of abilities nowadays, but strangely nothing to block numbers. How odd. Something very wrong about that.
Got a call from these creeps, I was already ticked, then this sorry excuse for an english speaking human called, mumbling somthing, when I said eithe speak english so I can understand you, or go back to the raock you were born under and NEVER frickin call me back. Click.... I doubt that it sunk in, but it please the heck out of me.... now I am in a great mood.
I got a call from this number today and the guy, who had an indian accent, tried to tell me he was from a company called Iris and he had an upgrade for my scanning software for my printer....he hung up on me when he tried to make it sound like it was free, but then wanted to charge me $79 and I told him no. JUST SAY NO!
I Get a phone call from the same basterds every hour on the hour they never give up!!! I entered my name in for a goverment grant book and then they called me and asked if I whould pay shipping and handling. I said yeah but then they asked for my credit card number over the phone and every sence I denied them, they have been harrassing me calling me at 2 am in the morning. Guess what no meens no And I have a big boot to shve up your afflack and guess what its so easy even a cave man can do it. good luck to you maybe some one will find out who these people actually are.
I got one of these calls tonight... I said hello 3 times and it replied with an automated message "Goodbye." Made no sense what so ever. Was from the same number.
Contacting the Attorney General generally does no good. In addition to the phone number, they also want caller name but, of course, this comes in as "Unknown Name." The Do-Not-Call thing has few teeth and I've seen nothing that would indicate that any effort is taken to remedy the problem. Also, expect NOTHING from the phone company. I've complained repeatedly that, for all we know, the caller could be calling to see anyone is at home or, if just my wife or daughter, who might be with them. They don't care and will offer nothing to block the call. I suppose that they have not found a way to charge for it. Or, on the other hand, they could possibly be making good money off of the call originator. When the politicians left political calls out of the do-not-call registry, it left things open for harassment, especially during the election season. It's much the same as their other shenanigans....insider trading, lobby money, special interests, etc. We should never, ever, ever be surprised.
Unfortunately in the Commonwealth of Virginia reporting this type of call to the Attorney General's office is a JOKE! Maybe he is too busy running for Governor. The AG's office shunts the call to the Department of Agriculture which is not only clue-less but powerless. If you expect an AG's office to do anything then perhaps you'd like to buy a bridge that is near Brooklyn?There has been a bill in the US Senate for years trying to just get "Truth on your Caller ID" (they'd have to show their real identity) and the Senate is too busy doing nothing to even pass that. We the victims of these intrusions are powerless because our politicians and elected officials don't care. And even posting on a site like these does nothing to stop the problem. Nothing.
they called me saying the same thing! When I call the number back its a movie request thing. silly morons!
guys, I figured out how to get rid of them...check out fusion phone custom voicemail...I input their numbers and then make obnoxious replies or the disconnected phone message for them when they call. Since it is an autodialer, the three tone SIM signal that noise before you hear "this number has been disconnected, if you think..." They get that message, just the people I put in and after 3 tries, the computer deletes my number from the list. Otherwise, you have to change your number...I tried everything else but this works.
Phone numbers like this one are fake. Telling the government does nothing because the phone number has no relation to where the person calling from is located.
Actually, calls should be reported to the FTC, not the FCC.
Called last night--again this am and when we answer==they hang up. I think it's because we answer with a business name but maybe not!!! We called it back and got a recording that it's MOVIE Phone or something like that with advertising of movies for your family, etc.
I believe it is an international scam that sometimes say they have federal grants. When they forget to block the number format it comes up as +2127773456. I believe they got my number from Craigslist trying to pose as the person looking to barter.
I got one tonight, called backed and it said "Moviefone", lol... they must have one of those devices that picks up legit numbers to show on caller id.
just add the number to your reject list. Next time they call it's rejected and your phone won't even ring.
I did that the first two times and the same guy called back the following day, not realizing he was talking to the same guy... so I had fun with it and played him along for quite a while... and finally I asked him how it felt because I wasted so much of his time... then I hung up.
I asked them to stop calling me on three calls in a row and they are still calling. How can I make them stop??
They keep trying to sell me smoke detecters on behalf of the town I live in. I reported them to both the fire & police departments.
^ditto.the dude keeps trying to tell me I bought an Orlando Travel package, and asking if I remember the time share presentation I went to. Nope. Not me.But they've got my name right now - originally they called my Chai (it's Shay). Yeah, I've talked to a person 3 times but he keeps hanging up on me when I ask if I can talk to someone else.
They wont stop calling me either. 7 times in the last two days and 4 calls today alone.
I finally answered the call to see what it was, when they said they were some agency. I interupted them and said "Do not call me" and I haven't gotten a call since. Maybe this will help you out as well. I have also gotten several different unknown callers in the past month or so. I have on that when it comes up shows as 1111. Strange. It needs to quit.
I'm getting those stupid, annoying calls as well. Has anyone found out how to stop it???
They call my moms cell and ask for me. Left a reference number and to call someone named Julie.
This telephone # 620-665-6111 calls all day long, just leave a message by the name Joyce.
I get this number calling me every day. Even at my work, always hang up as soon as I answer. And then call my cell phone and never leave a msg.
This guy with the last of Whipple, first name Dave(not sure about this), called our business and inquired about one of our employees. He wanted to fax us something and have our personnel department give him information about one of our employees. When I would not comply with the information he got very rude and condescending.
Got a threatening message from some foreign sounding dude, called the police and reported him. The police said answer the phone, dial *57 and hang up. After doing this about three times the calls should stop he said. I hope so!!! I hope it works on my cell. They stopped calling my land line and now are attacking me on my cell phone.
I got a call from 620-665-6111 on my cell phone, I answered and it was a recording asking me to please hold. I hung up, I don't know who this company is, I am assuming it is a collection call for Brandon, the person who previously had my cell number, several collectors have called for him.
I get call from this number frequently. When you don't answer they call right back 3 more times. Stop calling me !
I got a new tracphone recently and been receiveing phone calls and messages on my Tracphone. When I called the number back they identified themselves as NCA. I spoke to a person named Kay and asked if they could remove my number from their list becasuse I didn't know who they are and have no business with them. She called me Brenda Meyers. I told her I was not Brenda Meyers and for whatever reason I may have received a used telephone # which used to belong to Brenda Meyers.She said that was possible and that she would remove my number from their list by the end of the business day. Will see how that promise goes !!!
Get this call all the time, I answer and no one is there, it just disconnects!?!?! I try and call back, and it says call cannot be completed. Seems to be some kind of scam!
Calls come in on my cell phone for someone I don't know...then they leave the 866-570-6085 # and a ref# and when you call you get a recording. Is this even legal?
Calls to cell phone constantly, then leaves an 866 or 800 number to call back. Doesnt say who they are, who they are looking for but leaves a reference number to quote back to them. Last year they tried saying my Auto Warranty was up ...... I do not nor have not owned any auto warranty's! They have also tried to say my credit card interest was too high *blah blah blah* that they could lower it. Funny I do not own any credit cards as well. What makes it even worse, they have called my teenagers cell phone as well with the same crap. I've put them on the donotcall.gov complaint several times.
They leave the phone number to call back of 1-866-570-6085 and the message is a recorded message (not a person) and tells you to call back (in my case) "Joyce" and provide reference #.
NCA is a collection agency. When I get a call from them, it is a recording telling me to call an 800 number and reference an account number. I have also been getting a lot of calls which show up as 111-111-1111 unknown caller on my caller ID. Also a lot of UNKNOWN with no number. The phone never rings more thatn 3 times and there is never a message left. I think all of this comes from the same clueless collection agency in Kansas. I read somewhere they are in trouble with some state agency.
NCA showed up on my phone when they called me.
I get calls DAILY from this number at 7:00 CST, I do not answer and no msg is left.

Most people think that having a loan is not exactly healthy, in terms of their finances. There is the lingering thought that a loan only prevents you from saving money since you have debts to pay each month. Instead of saving a large chunk of your paycheck, you end up having to use a percentage of it for debt payments. So, it can get a little tricky to budget the money because of loan payments that you need to make. But the question is, are loans really all that bad? Do they serve a purpose at all, aside from helping you go through a difficult financial situation in life?
In Singapore, there are numerous types of loans that you can use for various purposes. There are car loan, housing loan, business loan, and personal loan. But for now, we will focus more on personal loans and the functions that they serve.
Unlike with other types of loans, a personal loan is typically a smaller amount of money that you can take out for an emergency expenses. It is not the type of loan that you get when you want to buy a car or a house. Generally, people take out a personal loan for other purposes such as to cover an unexpected expense when their emergency savings is not enough.
Also, a personal loan serve a purpose much like what a credit card is used for. But of course, there are varied interest rates and payment terms, depending on the loan provider. This is why having a clearer understanding of the details stipulated in the contract is important in making sure that you are adhering completely to the terms and conditions of the bank or the licensed moneylender Singapore.
Whenever you find yourself in a tight and crucial spot in life, a personal loan can save the day. But always remember that it is not at all for the purpose of low-priority and spontaneous spending. A personal loan is not something you should use when you just have the urge to buy a very expensive cellphone or a luxury brand of bag or shoes. This type of loan has a much bigger purpose, and we have the top reasons to use a personal loan lined up below.
People have different reasons for studying further after college. They may have the strong desire to continue learning more about various fields. Other individuals think that by having another degree, they can specialise in another field for greater career opportunities. As for some people, continuing education gives them an opportunity to be promoted in their job because of a mastery in their line of work.
These are all excellent reasons to further your studies. You can surely expect an incentive for having another degree in terms of a career promotion or an increase in salary. Shifting to another job because of your career is another possibility, which makes it very promising to study further even if you feel secure in your job at the moment. But there again, continuing education is not a cheap thing to do. This entails a certain budget, which may not be enough if you are not making a large amount of money from your job. Thus, there exists the issue on whether you should just settle with your present degree or study some more despite the cost that comes with post-graduate education.
Fortunately, there is an option to study again by simply taking out a personal loan. Perhaps all you need is not exactly a massive amount of money for this loan type since it is only to pay for your education. A professional education is indeed worth it if you know that there is something more lucrative waiting for you after completing it. If you decide to take a loan out, you may split the loan fees into terms. For instance, you may consider paying your loan off for a period of 7 years. This should make the monthly payments a little smaller and more affordable. A personal loan that comes with a longer tenure is usually appealing to people who want to pay a lower amount on a monthly basis. But there is also the option to shorten the duration of the loan in case you think you have more to pay each month. Doing so can also save you from a large amount of money that you may end up paying because of a longer tenure.
Do you have a ton of debts on your different credit cards? Maybe you have multiple credit card debts, and you are having a tough time paying them off? With high interest rates and varied payment dates for your bills, the whole experience can get very stressful. But did you know that there is an option for you to take out a single loan and pay for all your debts? Add up the total amount of your credit card bills, then consider borrowing some money with the same amount. Once you have sufficient cash for your bills payment, you can simply pay off your massive debt, and not have to worry about interest rates that accumulate from your different credit cards.
The main concept about this technique is to get you debt-free the soonest possible. Sure, you still owe some money from your personal loan. But then again, you only have one debt to think about instead of multiple ones. You can simply focus on paying a personal loan based on the duration you choose whether it is 6 months or more. By consolidating your debts, you can slowly work your way towards being free from credit card bills.
Perhaps the only challenge here is to make your loan payments regularly. Being aware of exactly when you need to pay off your loans is important to prevent high interest rates from accumulating. At the same time, this can aid in giving you that opportunity to free yourself from debts sooner – from your credit cards and personal loan.
No one wants to have a bad credit score. A credit rating that is less than perfect prevents you from being eligible to taking out a loan in case you need it one day. It may be a car or housing loan that you wish to take out in the future, once you are ready to purchase a property you can call your own. But this is never possible when your credit rating is poor. If you use your credit card too frequently, this does not make your credit score look good at all. This is why some people find it harder to take out a loan as compared with others.
So what can you do about this, then?
The idea is for you to take out a loan, yet making sure you pay it off on time. A smaller loan is ideal, so it will allow you to make regular payments according to the timeline set by the moneylender or the bank. A good, regular monthly payment also prevents you from massive fees due to penalties while helping you with keeping track of your expenses and budget.
Just be sure to take out a loan that you believe you can pay off without any problem at all. Limit your loaned amount to just a few hundreds at first, then make it a point to pay it off punctually. This should aid in building your credit score over time, which can make you more appealing to financial institutions. Soon, your credit rating will improve, along with your financial health. At the end of the day, a personal loan offers a win-win situation.

It’s funny to think back on how naïve we all were as we built our first web page or wrote our first blog post. In my case, I had what I thought was a clever URL and a landing page comprised of affiliate links. And not much more.
In my defense, that was more than a decade ago. Back then, like many first-time website owners and bloggers, I assumed that millions of people would simply stumble across my site. They’d be amazed at what I had to say, and would have no problem clicking on my offensive collection of blinking headlines and questionably phrased advertisements so that I could profit from them.
They didn’t find my site and I didn’t profit.
First, that creating a website sits a very distant second to marketing a website.
And second, that people don’t like ads. They really don’t like ugly, glaring, obtrusive ads.
Those early flashing banners and cleverly deceptive word-play have been giving way to something more subtle. Something smooth. Something more effective.
The most beautiful thing about native advertising is that you probably already know what it is, but you just didn’t realize the concept had a name.
Native advertising is simply advertising that doesn’t jump out on the page. It doesn’t assault the senses. It doesn’t expand over the article, forcing the reader to pay attention.
Native advertising is an advertisement or link that feels just like the other content on its page.
The ad is related to the website content. It continues a conversation; it doesn’t interrupt it. People are comfortable with native advertising because it isn’t flashy and forceful. It extends the reader’s experience – it doesn’t replace or hijack it.
Links and images are placed to lead to other content-rich websites that continue a reader’s experience. Phrases like “Recommended for you” or “You may also like”, accompany the links.
In fact, native advertising has increased the click-through rate on websites by more than 40 times.
Not only do people like to see what “suggested articles” have to say, they like to share them with others as well. Native advertising boasts a 64 percent increase in consumer engagement and a 12 percent increase in sharing.
It’s done by simply giving website visitors more of what they already want.
Also called “in-stream”, these ads simply show up in in the newsfeed of sites like Forbes, Facebook and Twitter. They don’t cover content, they are in line with other results, and offer a “suggested” or “sponsored” post for readers to see and enjoy. The in-feed content may appear anywhere in a newsfeed as a reader scrolls up and down.
These have been around a bit longer, and the labeling is very precise for legal reasons. A paid search result will show up in search engines as sponsored results that look like regular results. The only way they can be identified is to be tagged with clear language like a disclosure stating “ads related to” a particular topic. With a paid search, the position and appearance of the ad bought and paid for so there is little or no fluidity on placement.
The name is a big giveaway here. A recommendation widget is going to show up as a widget on the screen. These ads may be labeled with phrases like “You may also like”, “Elsewhere on the web”, or “You may have missed.” The widget placement on the screen depends on what the widget it and what website it is showing up on.
Promoted listings are similar to paid searches in that they are simply search results that have been bought and paid for. They should be labeled, of course, to be shown legally (more on that in a little bit), but internet giants Etsy, Amazon, and Google all include promoted listings. In practice, these are results that are designed to look like a product and service already offered on the website. Look for the phrasing like “Sponsored Content” or “Product Ads from External Websites”. Otherwise, they are truly seamless.
At the other end of the spectrum, in-ad advertising includes clearly defined borders around content that suits the message of the page. The placement and phrasing of the advertisement are paid for and clearly defined. In fact, in-ad native advertising is the closest to the traditional. These differ only in the clever content, which must also be labeled as an advertisement.
Then there are the outliers. Some native advertising is developing at such a rate and in such specific parameters that it defies definition. So we define it anyway and call it “custom.” These are customized ads that are simply too narrowly-defined to fall into other categories.
The internet isn’t new anymore. Customers are getting savvier and less patient with interruptions and delays. This is why native advertising is becoming so effective.
When advertisements are in line with the rest of the content, they aren’t distracting.
When those advertisements add pertinent information, or offer further content, they aren’t offensive.
That’s what makes this type of advertising work.
By trying to avoid big, flashy sales tactics, advertisers are actually finding tremendous success by speaking naturally to customers and offering them something in-line with what they were already searching for or enjoying.
Native advertising is especially effective as a form of brand advertising. In a native ad, you wouldn’t mention the terrific sale you’re having in your digital store. Instead, you’d provide a link for customers to follow so that they could learn some tips about how to use the digital items you just so happen to sell in your store.
The goal is to speak naturally to the customers and share information with them. When possible, rather than enticing them to come and help you with clicks and sign-ups, you are helping them by providing useful information or items they can enjoy and put to use.
Of course, there are challenges as well. Native advertising may not be the fast sell. It requires clever thinking and investment in well-developed content to use as part of the ads. But most importantly, it requires the right voice.
Native advertisements rely on fitting in. This means the voice of the advertisement must ring as true and authentic for the intended target. For many would-be advertisers, developing the right voice for their brand is the biggest hurdle as they adapt to native advertising. To work, the ad must be relevant. It must fit.
It’s not a big step from creating advertising that fits in seamlessly into content to creating content that intentionally deceives a user into thinking it’s authentic.
Well-placed, authentic native advertising can build a relationship with customers. Intentionally deceptive ads can build serious legal cases against you.
That the FTC, or Federal Trade Commission, got involved in native advertising is not at all surprising.
The FTC issued guidelines about websites and search results in 2002 and amended those guidelines in 2013 to protect consumers from deceptive practices. The guidelines state that “consumers should be able to easily distinguish a natural search result from advertising”.
The ruling boils down to the requirement that all marketing be identified by “language that explicitly and unambiguously conveys whether a search result is advertising.” Furthermore, that language must be “large and visible enough for consumers to notice it”. Finally, it must be close to the ad it is identifying.
Sadly, there are many website advertisements that aren’t following the letter of the law. There are quite a few who are working very hard to pretend there are no laws at all. This creates concern for the integrity of the industry as a whole.
Authentic native marketers have are clear on what is right and what is not. It’s not advertising if the disclosure is too small to read or shoved so far to the side it might as well be on the next screen. It’s deceit.
Quality advertisements, the ones the customers are willing to use as a means to build a relationship with your brand, include clear disclosures that content “may not necessarily reflect the opinions” of the website owner or they include clear shading and links to answer “What’s this?” beside each ad to protect themselves and customers.
Native advertising informs and opens lines of communication. It doesn’t hide behind shady dealings.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, one of the nation’s largest local TV station operators, wants to get even bigger. The company announced Monday that it will pay about $3.9 billion for Tribune Media, adding more than 40 stations including KTLA in Los Angeles, WPIX in New York and WGN in Chicago.
Tribune also has stakes in the Food Network and job-search website CareerBuilder.
Sinclair already has 173 stations around the country, including KENV in Salt Lake City, KOMO in Seattle and WKRC in Cincinnati. The Tribune deal, plus other pending acquisitions, will give Sinclair a total of 233 TV stations. But the Hunt Valley, Maryland-based company said it may sell some stations to comply with Federal Communications Commission rules.
Sinclair said it will pay about $43.50 in cash and stock for each share of Tribune, an 8 percent premium from Tribune’s closing price of $40.29 on Friday.
Shares of Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. rose 95 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $37.90 in morning trading Monday. Tribune Media Co. shares rose $2.56, or 6.4 percent, to $42.85.

I am a pretty normal guy. Raised a fundamental Baptist, and believing the doctrines of that denomination, there are still as many things that I don’t understand as there are that I do understand. My Bible training consists of coursework at Grand Rapids Baptist Bible College (now Cornerstone) back in the 1970s, though I graduated from Calvin College in that same city. I am not a theologian, not a Bible scholar, just a guy who was blessed with a Christian family, and came to know the Lord in his childhood. I fall FAR short of where I should be in many areas of Christian life, and struggle daily. That’s one reason I am writing.
These blogs represent what I think about some of the most compelling and controversial issues in Christianity today. As such, they are almost sure to be offensive to some, and not at all politically correct. I have not set out to offend anyone, but rather to open up a dialog from which I can learn from those with the courage and patience to respond. For that reason, I will end each blog with the words: “What do YOU think?”, and hope that you will share your perspectives. I will screen comments just to be sure that hate mail and profanity doesn’t make it through to the site. Otherwise, I will do my best to keep an open mind about what you say, and ask only that you do the same. Thanks.

From using relatively unknown elements of Christianity to developing alternate patriarchies to highlight the impermanence of our own, Jeannette is as interesting as she is educational.
If you take nothing else away from this episode, remember to read the author’s notes and explore ideas you are unfamiliar with after reading an interesting novel. After all, even the most fantastic of fictional worlds are developed from within the realms of our ‘real’ world.

Bill might want to check his battery voltage before starting the engine because the bypass wire might be powering the field coil even with the ignition off.
I would think Bill or someone should soon verify the theory behind all this, as follows.
With the engine running, what is the voltage between the two points where the bypass wire connects onto the Pan wiring?
Now shut down the engine, pull the fuse in the bypass wire, restart the engine, remeasure the voltage between those same two points, and shut down the engine.
As for tracing the wiring, my older Haynes manual, on pages 9-26 and 9-27, in the diagram called Honda ST1100 L, M, ....standard UK models shows a black wire going from regulator/rectifier to fuse D in the main fuse box, then to a red-with-black stripe wire to the ignition switch, then to a red wire going to the main 30 ampere fuse, and then to a black wire to the positive battery terminal.
Hopefully, the corrosion will be found at one of the two fuses because the ignition switch, even just its wiring, is harder to access than either fuse. For example, the fuse box can be detached from the black, plastic, rear fender to make it easier to inspect.

It's a stacked field for the 2019 4-Wheel Jamboree season.
As the indoor season for a majority of the monster truck tours draws to a close during most of April, the spring season officially means outdoor venues get to prepare for some faster racing, some bigger obstacles, and the drivers get to “stretch the legs” of these machines. Although many stadium events are showcasing a lot of fast action, there’s something about being at a fairground or speedway that feels so different to these teams.
No tour has taken note of how major these venues are than Bonnier Corporation’s 4-Wheel Jamboree series, which again is headlined by title sponsor Lucas Oil.
The other title sponsor that headlines the jamborees, General Tire, has returned once again to showcase the best that the jamboree has to offer in monster truck racing, and freestyle. A year ago, an extremely stacked, powerful, and intense field of drivers and trucks gave many highlights that fans still remember a year later. But, the season also ended with a bit of controversy, and maybe confusion.
Everyone is ready for a new year, a fresh beginning, and zero doubt as to who will be the best at day’s end.
What the folks at Bonnier Corporation, with the help of WHR Motorsports, did for this year is not only bring back the reigning and defending champions, but also bring back some drivers that have long been favorites of the crowd. Maybe that is lucky, because the field for this year’s jamboree season is an odd number, with seven powerful, driven, and no-nonsense drivers and trucks, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice.
Headlining this year’s jamboree tour once again is always the truck that began the industry, and even it’s creator has said the jamboree shows themselves have helped shape the team into what it is today. For the 31st time, a Bigfoot truck will be in attendance at the jamborees, chasing after a championship.
According to the Bigfoot website, the man that will be having the duty of defending the racing championship from a season ago is the same one who was not only a rookie with the team in 2018, but also was competing for the first time at the jamborees. Christian Norman surprised everyone with how smooth he could handle the #18 chassis from the Bigfoot team, and it led him all the way to Indianapolis with a chance to win a championship.
In the end, he did that, although he settle with splitting the racing title (more on that in a bit), but this year, Norman has been standing tall in his own right. He’s been very successful driving on the Hot Wheels tour, and is ready to let this truck show what it really can do in a big environment.
The original monster truck is ready to turn it loose on the field in 2019, and Norman is no rookie any longer, but a polished driver with proven equipment, and he wants his title outright.
As stated above, last year’s General Tire Monster Truck Thunder Drags ended with a bit of controversy. The biggest reason: two drivers tied at season’s end, meaning for the first time, co-champions were crowned.
Along with Norman, the other man that relied on consistency to achieve a title is no stranger to holding a championship. Although, he returned to the jamborees after one year away. This time, he’s returning, just like Norman, to achieve a championship outright, with no doubts.
It certainly helps that Mark Hall has been a rival to the Bigfoot team for many years, although it has been a rivalry of competition and respect. The man at the wheel of the 2018 Ram Heavy Duty has seen a lot of action in the last several years with the jamboree tour, including a very scary and violent roll last year at Bloomsburg that saw the truck destroy the body. He showed how strong the equipment was by coming back and winning the racing bracket that day, but during the week Hall was sore from the roll, even with the safety equipment doing its job. But, he recovered and came back like the Phoenix to achieve a title.
For 2019, he will return to the jamborees hoping to prove that he is dominant, and leave little doubt as to what the HEMI-powered Raminator is capable of.
There was controversy surrounding the racing championship a season ago, which this writer admits was partially of his doing, but there was never any doubt as to who the dominant truck and driver was when it came to freestyle. With a world championship to his credit already, it was already known that the skill set of Mike Vaters II was second to none, but for the first time he got to show off that skill set in front of the jamboree crowds.
Whether it was hammering off a combine tire, taking a splash in a pond, or sliding his machine to create a cloud of dust, Overkill Evolution was not to be denied. Vaters II was outright dominant from the first event to the last, leaving officials little doubt as to who the best truck was all year long. It was as if the truck not only took the punishment, but was begging to have more abuse.
The only breakage that seemed to slow Vaters II down a bit was at the final weekend when the team had to rebuild half the suspension overnight just to make the show, but he did just that and closed out the season on top.
Team Evo is back for 2019, heading in as the lead favorite to back up the freestyle title, but he too was in a spot to win the racing championship, so he could ultimately pull off a jamboree sweep in 2019. With the ability of the driver, the excellent skills of owner/builder Marty Garza, this team will have many eyes on them this year.
Wherever Overkill Evolution goes, chances are the Black Stallion is not far behind. Already a hall of fame member, Michael Vaters is back at the jamborees for a second year in a row, ready to make his truck make some noise.
His entire team is going through a lot of changes this summer, some big changes. It was revealed on social media that team driver Matt Cody, driver of Blue Thunder and Iron Warrior, is in the process of getting a brand new chassis under him. It will be the first new chassis in the Vaters camp since the mid-2000’s when Vaters’ current chassis made its debut. The truck itself will have a chassis similar to that of Overkill Evolution, however it will be set up to Cody’s liking.
For Vaters, that means he will have to push himself even more to show that even though his piece is nearly 15 years old, it can still get the job done. After all, he’s still a capable driver, with 37 years experience at the wheel, and is no stranger to the jamboree vibe.
The other rookie driver last year on the jamboree tour had a lot of pressure from the moment he stepped into the roll cage. Kurt Kraehmer was taking over not just as the man with a title sponsor on his truck, but also was taking over the chassis that holds a world record.
It turns out, he was more than up for the challenge. Kraehmer put the Ram 1500 General Tire machine through it’s paces, pushing the deep cleat tires through mud, water, dirt and grass to show that he is a capable driver at the wheel.
With more seat time over this winter, his ability has been exceptional, and the fans are enjoying seeing the young man put on a show. This year, he gets to do so again with the General Tire monster, literally. Since the new graphics for this truck were debuted in 2016, it seems to have been given a more aggressive and meaner look. It has certainly helped in sales for the tire brand, as I can attest to since I bought my second set for my current truck last year. It has been a great partnership that continues to be strong for all involved.
Once again, Kraehmer will try to put this machine in victory circle, but now that he’s gotten his first win under his belt this winter, his confidence is high and he’s ready to make an impact.
Since 2016, there has been one team that fans have been wanting to see back on this tour. It was posted beginning when the lineup was listed, fans have been asking to “bring him back” to put on a show. The reason, they know what the truck and driver can do. He has no plan except turning on the truck and hitting the loud pedal.
Well, after three years, the time has come. He’s back, the man that started a new revolution in monster trucks is back with a familiar chassis, a familiar sponsor, but a new look, and a new power plant.
Dave Radzierez is officially back at the jamborees, and he’s bringing his Xtreme Diesel. Last time this truck, at least chassis, was at one of these shows was back at the Bloomsburg jamboree in 2016, where he shattered the rear suspension but made it back in time for the final show. A year later, he went away from just showing the XDP name, and unveiled the Xtreme Diesel look, but ran an alcohol engine. Last summer, the original “Diesel Dave” returned with a brand-new 2018 Ram 1500 body, but more over, an entirely new engine.
His truck is now powered by a common-rail Cummins engine that is running cleaner, smoother, and with practically no smoke. It has already made a major impression, running indoor shows this winter without any side effects. Now, this new machine will be making a major impact outdoors for sure.
The fans wanted, begged, and hoped it would happen, and now…it’s a reality. Although, the other reality is that Radzierez will only compete at Bloomsburg, meaning that fans who want to get “Xtreme” will only have one opportunity to do so.
The newest member of the jamboree family has wanted to run this series for a long while.
Every year for the last three seasons, at least one new face entered the field to compete at the jamborees. For 2019, that continues with a driver that got into the sport by purchasing a well-known truck from a driver that was calling it a career, and has since made it his own identity. All the while, honoring the truck’s past, while looking to the future.
Young Brandon Derrow has shown a lot of skill at the wheel of “Bad News” and seems to have caught the eye of many. He’s consistently been skilled at the indoor events, but has always enjoyed letting the truck show off what it can do at a big venue. The chassis he runs is nearly 20 years old, and it still is winning events.
All the while, Derrow has said he’s been wanting to run at the jamborees, especially since he has memories as a kid watching the shows on TNN, something that this writer can relate to. The history of these events is what made him want to be a part of them.
Finally, the opportunity has come. Someone can, and likely will, say they “lose to Bad News” on the tour this year.
Derrow, his dad (also his crew chief), and girlfriend, Ashley, are all excited to finally run on the tour. Unfortunately, the Bad News team will only be able to run two of the three events on tour. But, that means that Derrow will push this truck harder, and make a bigger impact since he will have less opportunities to do so.
There are two guarantees, however, that will come when Derrow takes to the track. The first: no driver should think he’s an easy opponent in racing, because he will surprise the opposition. The second: Derrow will put that truck on the wheelie bar every chance he has, because Bad News loves to freestyle, and specializes in the wheelstand.
We are just over two months away from the opening event of the season, and many fans are ready and eager to get back to what is normally their spring or summer vacation spots. Many are also hoping that the beginning of the tour avoids the havoc that Mother Nature has seemed to dish out for what seems to be every year since 2015. The sad part, Mother Nature is unpredictable, and seems to not care what day it is, nor what events take place.
In any case, the 2019 General Tire Monster Truck Thunder Drags will still take place, rain or shine. Tickets will soon be available online, so visit 4WheelJamboree.com to get all the event info, along with ordering those tickets. Schedule of events will be posted prior to each show, letting all fans know exactly when their favorite event will take place.

64bit in progress, and making headway. We have kept an eye on aspects of 64bit that cross over to AAX so when we’re done with 64bit, we will be able to leap into AAX. AAX(DSP) is not in development. That will be on hold until we are done with 64bit. Once we begin AAX native, we will make the decision of doing or not doing AAX DSP, but right now, it’s not in progress. That doesn’t mean we won’t do it, it just means we have to finish other things before making that decision.
OK at least it is clearer, but I do hope they will go for AAX DSP. Their Pitch Doctor plug-in was my preferred tuning plug-in, but now is not available to me as I have an HDX rig. I do hope you guys at SoundToys do go for AAX DSP. Anyone who wants AAX and especially AAX DSP perhaps should tell them?

The Kaunas Hotel has an excellent breakfast buffet with many traditional foods: local cottage cheese served in slices, hot kasha, blintzes, smoked salmon, herrings, garlic, 3 types of black (rye) breads, and the local soft drink, kvass (made from yeast & rye). Also a plate of decidedly non-kosher pigs’ ears.
We visit the Kaunas Archives, located in a building that was once a synagogue. They have a historical department and modern records, but no vital records are kept at this location. All vital records are in Vilnius. Records from the 19th century are in Russian; later records are in Lithuanian. Jewish records were kept for the purposes of taxation and the army. The first overall census was taken in 1895–7. Many records from Kaunas (and Vilnius) have been uploaded to the “All Lithuanian Database” on www.jewishgen.org.
Later, local municipalities created “Family Lists” which listed each family by place of administration (town). This became a permanent registration. However, in the 19th century people often moved, confusing the record keeping.
In 1894 a “residence permit” became required for travelling on business within the Pale of Settlement. Russia had no internal passports until WWI, when Jews were made to move to Russian and Ukrainian gubernias. After WWI, the newly independent nation of Lithuania had passports for travel outside the country.
The archivist confirmed that Revision Lists are not the most accurate because many people would hide from being listed. It was common for families to take steps to remove them or their children from being recorded, since there were taxation and military draft repercussions. People would change a family member’s age or even the family surname. Jews had to serve in the Russian army from 1827 or pay additional taxes. Jews were conscripted from age 12 (non-Jews were conscripted from age 18). The Jewish community was required to produce a list of draftees, and the wealthy could sometimes buy out the son of poor family to keep their own son out. It became compulsory for all men to register at age 21 in 1874. Each would register but the community would draw lots to determine who had to serve. The military draft could obligate a draftee for a decade or longer.
I walk to the Akroplis, a modern 3-story shopping mall, and return for a great “local” lunch at the hotel: salad of beets and apples, borsht soup, dill potatoes and latkes (potato pancakes) with sour cream.
Afternoon with our entertaining guide, Chaim Bargman, who speaks Yiddish and Hebrew, in addition to Lithuanian and English. We cross the Nieman River bridge for a view of the city. There was a very rich cultural Jewish life in Kaunas (Kovne) and the Jewish Quarter was by the river. Kaunas and Los Angeles are now “sister cities”.
We visit the site of the Slobodka Ghetto and Yeshiva; the yeshiva functions today as “Yeshiva of Hebron”. A memorial marker at the ghetto has recently been vandalized.
The Ninth Fort is the site of mass killings during WWII. Jews were selected from the ghetto, brought to the Ninth Fort and murdered during the German occupation. It was originally built as a fortress and soldier barracks. Tunnels are 1 km inside the walls and during WWI it was a political prison. During WWII, a daring escape of 64 Jewish prisoners occurred on Christmas day while the German guards were all drunk. There was snow on the ground and one prisoner held up a sheet to hide the escape of the others.
On a nearby hill, a massive Soviet-era monument to the mass killings [as usual] does not mention that the victims were primarily Jewish.
Back in the town, Chaim takes me to see the Kaunas “Sister City” display in a pedestrian area, showing the city seals of about a dozen sister cities around the world, including Los Angeles. It stays light outside until well past 10pm and many young people are out strolling – and drinking.

The National Field Archery Association held it’s fifth annual High Performance Youth Compound Academy June 23-27, 2017 at their headquarters and Archery Center in Yankton, South Dakota. The diverse group, ages 12-18, included 39 young archers from all over the United States, from Georgia to California, New York to Alaska, Canada and Mexico. The coaching staff in attendance included George Ryals IV of Georgia, Paige Gore and Dave Gore of California, Mike Price of New York, Jeff Sanchez of Illinois and Josahan “Jos” Jaime-Santacruz, Mackenzie Kieborz and Britta True from the Yankton Archery Center coaching staff.
In addition to video analysis, academy participants had an intensive four days of equipment fitting and tuning, shot execution workshops, mental management skills for competition, strength training and stability for archery and goal setting. Archers also had the opportunity to learn field archery as the focus of the academy this year in preparation for the upcoming tournament, the NFAA Outdoor National Field Championships taking place at the Archery Center immediately following the Academy. Nearly half of the academy participants decided to compete in Field Nationals.
This year’s camp was packed with activities for archers. Starting right off the bat with match play and team rounds to get archers interacting with each other. Open shooting time with one-on-one coaching was a big part of the academy to help archers with their individual equipment and shot execution needs. Archers also had an opportunity to practice each shooting format they would experience during NFAA Field Nationals, field, hunter and animal rounds. Guest trainer Mark “Coach Rozy” Roozen, strength trainer with Avera Health, did a presentation on injury prevention and functional strength training for mobility and flexibility that will help archers in their training.
A new feature of the Academy this year was the option of archers to stay on the campus dorms of Mount Marty Campus which recently created a competitive archery team as part of their athletic program. Archers also had the opportunity to tour the campus and get information on enrollment and scholarships.
The unanimous response of archers at the academy was overwhelmingly positive. “This was a really fun academy and I learned so much.” Brianna Notabeart of New York said of her academy experience.
“This was great. It means so much to know that these coaches care and are willing to help anyone and everyone.” Bryanne Lameg from Canada commented on her experience working with the coaching staff.

Broccoli Casserole is not just for the holidays. You can enjoy this Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole recipe any time of the year.
Why don’t you let your crock pot do all the work with this easy Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole recipe made with fresh broccoli and real cheddar cheese?
I love using fresh broccoli to make a big cheesy serving bowl full of broccoli casserole to serve with my Thanksgiving dinner. You can use frozen broccoli florets to make this Crock Pot Broccoli Casserole.
If you decide to use frozen broccoli keep in mind that the cooking time will be about half the time that you would need to cook the fresh broccoli florets.
I would also decrease the amount of milk by half to allow for the extra moisture the frozen broccoli will add. If it seems to be too thick even with the extra moisture you can add 1/4 cup of milk at a time to thin it out.
I know there are plenty of crock pot broccoli casserole recipes out there using Velveeta. This is not one of them.
I used a block of real medium cheddar cheese and grated it. I have nothing against Velveeta and have used it many times in broccoli casserole recipes.
Or in my Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese recipe which I will be serving to my family and friends on Thanksgiving day.
The kids and adults love it and it has become one of my newest favorite Thanksgiving side dish recipes.
Disclosure: Some links in the post are affiliate links. If you make a purchase I will earn a small commission.
Rinse and trim the thick stalks from the fresh broccoli florets.
Place the broccoli, cream soup, mayonnaise, shredded cheese and milk in a 6 quart or 7 quart crock pot slow cooker.
Add the pepper, salt and paprika to the slow cooker and mix again.
Slow cook on low, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and cook for 4 hours or until the broccoli is tender.
Serve with a sprinkle of more shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
Have you seen the newest slow cooker cook book by Phyllis Good? You might know her from all the Fix It and Forget It cookbooks she has published.
Well, her new Stock the Crock cookbook is out and would make a perfect Christmas gift for someone who loves to cook in the slow cooker.

Overcoming addiction can be hard enough and to give a helping hand the organization Fight the Fight is working to raise money to bring a sober living house to Pekin. One way they are funding this endeavor is by hosting their annual Hope Fest.
“Our goal is to open up a sober living house within the Tazewell County community. People get out of rehab and get out of jail, they need a place to go so where they don’t get back to the same things they were in before,” Public Relations Director for Fight the Fight Corey Campbell said.
Those houses serve a vital role by supporting recovering addicts. Being able to help people continue their path to sobriety is what motivates them to bring one closer to Peoria and Tazewell County residents.
“[Without sober living houses] they go back to the houses that they lived in and those are the same environments that fueled their addictions in the past. So we’re trying to get them to somewhere safe, somewhere we can teach them to have different behaviors and to have different ways of going about their day,” Campbell said.
Beyond funds, Campbell said the support from the community fuels them to continue helping others.
“We know that there is a big need for [sober houses] statistically right so we’re just looking for different ways for the community to get involved and help fight the big opioid crisis we have going on right here in our homes in Tazewell County,” he said.
The Hope Fest also had local tattoo parlor Big Top Tattoos giving free “recovery day” tattoos to recovering addicts to serve as a physical representation of how hard they have fought.
“[The tattoo] was worth it, it was fun. It only took a few minutes and it’s my sobriety date so it’s just a reminder about why I’m here,” recovering addict Cammy Hall said.
Fight the Fight hopes to open their new sober living house in the next few months.

Leeper have been working alongside SENSE families around the country to make a multi-sensory piece of textile art, the Forest of Dreams.
As part of the project, we talked about different kinds of ‘dream’: it could be a dream day we had enjoyed, or would like to do one day. Children told us what they wanted to do when they grew up. They had some ambitious ideas!
We wrote our dreams on fabric leaves which became part of the forest.
As textile artist for the project, Jenny writes, I went home and turned those dreams into something real, so that the children could, indeed, touch their dreams.
There were some common themes. Lots of people loved sparkly things.
Melissa likes things to fiddle with, so I made hanging sparkly shapes for all the groups to fiddle with.
Chloe’s mum wanted her ‘to be looked after, just like all her friends do at school now.’ I had some brightly coloured Phulkari embroidery from the Punjab, with shisha mirror beads sewn on it. These are believed to be protective. I cut and satin-stitched the fabric to make eye shapes.
Nian has Punjabi heritage: these are for him too!
Hannah’s mum at Leeds wanted her ‘to be as free as a butterfly’. I thought that ‘being free’ was such a lovely dream that I made butterflies for all the groups.
Ted and Ernie’s mum at Bristol wanted both of them ‘to follow their own path’. This reminded me of Robert Frost’s poem, ‘The Road not Taken.’ Using large willow hoops, I made a dividing path going through a wood, using the colours of their bedrooms.
Tom wanted to have a giant in the forest. His friend’s name was Jack, and so the idea of a beanstalk was born.
On our next visit everybody worked cooperatively to make the beanstalk and learnt loads of new skills on the way: sewing, felting, and even tying cable ties.
We included some dreams: Oliver’s was a perfect ice cream: ‘vanilla ice cream in a tub, with a squirt of cream and chocolate spread and black sprinkles and a cherry on top!
In Bristol, Thomas’ mum wanted him to have the chance just to relax and be himself. So inside the almost empty circle are the words ‘Space to be Myself’ on one side and ‘Space to Shine’ on the other. In the centre hangs a small budgie mirror – he loved one of these in hospital when he was younger. In the forest you can glimpse other found objects that represent dreams: an artist’s easel, a football, a dalek.
Eyes and sharp teeth turn this scarf into a wolf!
And just to show that not everyone’s dreams were safe and cuddly, Ellie from Wales wanted something scary in the forest.
These are just a few of the children’s dreams. There were so many, and they came thick and fast near the end of the project, when people had got to know us a bit better. Some were quite a challenge for me to represent but I loved the way they were so varied.
Walking along a beach, feeling the vibrations of the waves in the sand: I just had to do something for all the people who mentioned being at the seaside – they’re just like me: that’s one of my dreams too!
