Thank you Shawn for being so honest and leaving this info on the web. I just got a letter from Cambridge Who's Who, and I was interested in checking it out further. I decided to do a quick check for a potential "Who's Who Scam" before I followed through, and I found your article. You kept me from wasting my time. Thanks again!!

"PLLLRRRRR"....that's the sound of MY ego deflating! I was also bestowed with the 'honor' of being selected by the Continental Who's Who Registry of 'distinguished business professionals'---for a fee of seven hundred and forty nine dollars that would provide me the honor of being on their registry for LIFE, or a 5-year, and then a 3-year (both fully upgradeable of course) membership for a lower fee. Darn, I had my Biography ready to go... ;)

I was walking to my parents today and found a hicory horned devil, this was the first one this year. I found 2 last year and this is the only 3 we have ever seen in the past 45 years my parents have lived there. We live in western Pennsylvania and they are not native to this area. We have never seen the moth they become but wish I could. I took it to our local newspaper and they took about 18 pictures of it and are putting it in the newspaper with an article. It is definately amazing looking. I can't explain why I have found 3 of them in this climate. Thanks

The drum Sally is playing in the pictures is called a Bodhrán. It is an Irish drum.

We found a hhd in our yard today and we were afraid that it was dangerous. Your website had the most comprehensive info and wonderful pictures of the hhd. Thank you.

My girlfriend, Cindy and I ran across one of these this past weekend while camping in the north Georgia mountains. She found it next to our fishing gear and thinking it was one of my lures she almost picked it up. We had never heard of one before. What a beautiful and amazing creature!!

This is an excellent photo!! Thank you for allowing me to view it! My own mom, who just passed away July 23, did much the same thing as the lady you spoke of did. She fed them, but she would sit in her "screen house" that my dad built for her, and crotchet angels to stiffen and put on top of christmas trees, and daddy would just sit there with her, and they would tell me all about which hummers did what today, and how they fought, and what they did to keep ants away, and they knew just when the area's birds were going south (don't understand why they went even further south.. I live in NE Alabama) and they so enjoyed this activity!! This photo reminds me of that, that's why I am thanking you! Good work!!

THE PART OF THIS ARTICLE THAT IS MISSING IS THE PART ABOUT SCAMING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON THE SALE OF INSURANCE WHAT THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU IS MOST LAW FIRMS CAN NOT INTERPET THE POLICIES. IF THE COMPANYS TURLEY WERE IN THE BUISNESS TO PROVIDE A SERVICE THEY WOULD NOT NEED TV ADDS WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF THE COMSUMER BASE IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU BUT ALL CEO BELIEVE SPENDING 65% OF THEIR BUDGET ON ADVERTISING IS GOOD FOR BUISNESS WHEN IN FACT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THE BILL BOR THESE ADDS ONLY TO MUTR THEM OUT. AND IF YOU SHOULD GET IN A AUTO ACCIDENT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT BE THEIR TO HELP AND THE LAWMAKERS HAVE PASSED SO MANY LAWS TO PROTECT AMERICAS BIGGEST SCAM IN 1944 THEY PUT A LAW IN PLACE IF A COMPANY FILES CHAPTER 11 THEY DO NOT HALF TO TELL THE POLICY HOLDERS SO GOOD LUCK BE SURE TO SAY HELLO TO THE LAW MAKERS AND WATCH FOR THE NEXT SCAM.

I listended to your recording and i cant believe you. Obviously this guy was new and nervous and you tried to make him feel inferior to you. i own a kirby its my thrid one. I know that nothing comes close to cleaning the way it does. Oh, and for your info they also shampoo carpets, furniture, clean hard surface floors, fans, dust, and can be used as a spray painter, leaf blower, and also have an air compressor. before anyone comments back with smart remarks, i have used all that stuff and it all works very well.

I hate to admit it, but I was suckered into the Cambridge Who's Who. I knew I was being suckered, but went along because I had just graduated with my MBA and thought it could be useful. Not only that, but they offered 2 round free airline tickets, of course they never mentioned you must stay in certain cities, at certain hotels for like 14 days for like $250 per night for the free tickets. Well the networking contacts were not worth it and even worse they continued to call you to sell more junk until I told them to take my name off of their call list. If I can help others from avoiding the same mistake then my mistake was worth it, sacrifices need to be made.
