here is a "cut/paste" of a story that is about his wife in the local paper
on sept 5 2004, the only one I could find with his name.
DOWNTOWN'S NEW DEAL: Business in downtown Roseburg is slow going on Tuesdays, but a new promotion is aiming to change that.
It's called "10-Percent Tuesdays." Carla Alm, owner of Jackson Street Antiques, proposed the idea of offering 10 percent off all non-sale items on Tuesdays.
The goal, obviously, is to draw more potential customers to downtown shops.
Her store, along with The English Garden and The Shabby Suite, are on board for the discounts. Party Time Rentals and Leif Studios also placed posters in their windows aligning themselves with the deal.
Alm's husband Don created and distributed the posters to all downtown businesses. Customers need only mention the deal at participating shops on Tuesdays to get the discount.
"It's going to be a lot of goodwill for a lot of merchants," Alm said.
I have alot on info that I can call his bluff on. My personal favorite is the one he claims to be in with Hugh Heffner and invited to the Playboy mansion to sell him something. These stories are all part of the game and acceptable, nobody gets hurt.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
