CNN RELIABLE SOURCES
Interview With Brian Ross; Interview With Mike Wallace
Aired May 21, 2006 - 10:00 ET
MIKE WALLACE, CBS NEWS: We got caught up in the drama, more than we caught up in going after the facts.
HOWARD KURTZ, HOST (voice-over): Still, ticking. He's chased bad guys, grilled presidents, and schmoozed celebrities for almost six decades, and he's still got opinions on everything, from hidden cameras to Dan Rather to Katie Couric.
Now he's stepping down as a full-time "60 Minutes" correspondent -- or is he? A conversation with Mike Wallace.
Snow in the spotlight. The new White House press secretary faces the cameras, livens things up and gets emotional. A report card on Tony Snow.
Targeting journalists? ABC's Brian Ross says the Bush administration is tracking the phone calls made by top reporters. Does he have the proof?
Plus, money can't buy him love. The latest public figure to blame the media for his troubles is Paul McCartney.
KURTZ: Welcome to RELIABLE SOURCES, where today we turn our critical lens on new reports that the government is tracking reporters' calls. I'm Howard Kurtz. Ahead, our wide-ranging interview with Mike Wallace about his long and controversial career at "60 Minutes," and he is as opinionated as ever.
But, first, the controversy over the Bush administration tracking millions of phone calls took an ominous turn this week, when ABC's Brian Ross reported that authorities are specifically cataloging the calls made by correspondents for that network and other news organizations.
We spoke earlier with ABC's chief investigative correspondent.
KURTZ: Brian Ross, welcome.
BRIAN ROSS, ABC NEWS: Thank you, Howard.
KURTZ: How did you find out that the administration is tracking your phone calls and those of other journalists?
ROSS: Well, a confidential source and a leak, and a very good tip that was surprising to us. Someone told -- a senior federal official told my colleague, Rich Esposito, that "We know who you are calling; you should get some new cell phones and quick."
That's what we know, Howard. We don't know how it is they know who we're calling. We've been trying to figure that out. But this source is so good that we take it very seriously.
KURTZ: Just on a personal level, how did you -- what was your reaction to learn that law enforcement officials, according to this source, are analyzing the numbers that you dial -- presumably in an effort to track down your other confidential sources?
ROSS: You know, I guess as an abstract, we always thought that was likely or possible, but once I actually heard this specific information -- and this person knew a couple of specific calls -- it was truly alarming and made you think, well, my gosh -- what are we going to do about this? It means a lot more in-person visits.
I'm working on a big story now with people who are confidential sources inside the Federal Air Marshal Service. They were all alarmed that they might be exposed as talking with me in violation of rules. So it's of great concern.
KURTZ: What other news organizations are being -- having their phone calls tracked, according to your informant?
ROSS: We were told reporters at "The New York Times" and "The Washington Post," and it seemed consistent with the information we know, that the CIA has made several criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, the FBI, based on stories that the "Post" and the "Times" have run about CIA secret prisons and the Jim Risen story at "The New York Times" about NSA wiretapping. In both cases, those agencies have confirmed that criminal investigations have begun. And when we checked with the FBI, they put out a statement that essentially said, we take logical investigative steps, starting with the phone records of the government agencies. And then you sort of read through and parse out what they say, it seems that if they go after reporters, they say they do it in a legal fashion.
KURTZ: Not exactly a hard denial. Were you given any names of journalists who might be on the receiving end of this?
ROSS: Other than Esposito and Ross, no. But I'm assuming your colleague, Dana Priest, and Risen and others at the "Times," who have done a lot of important work that involved information that the CIA, I assume, presumes to be classified and they see that as a violation of the law. And that starts the process by which they essentially can use provisions of the Patriot Act if they chose, or just a grand jury, to pursue it.
And it makes me feel, in a way -- and this is, I think, the disturbing part -- as if we are drug dealers or terrorists trying to traffic in information, and should we be using bags full of quarters like old Mafia capos to avoid having our phone calls traced? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong; I don't think any other reporter is, either. We're trying to cover these stories, which are difficult, but which are very important.
KURTZ: In those old movies, reporters would go to phone booths to make the calls. But there aren't that many phone booths anymore!
ROSS: You can't find them anymore, right.
KURTZ: But now let me take the other side. If sources are leaking classified information, which is illegal on their part, why shouldn't the government be able to investigate and track down which reporters they're talking to?
ROSS: I think they should be able to investigate, if they feel there's a crime. But I think going after reporters' phone calls and phone records is a way of chilling and preventing us from doing our job. And by -- if you are chilling reporters, you are chilling the First Amendment. And I think that the public's right to know in this case supersedes these issues. If, on their own, they can figure it out, I think that's fair game, in a way.
Going after our phone calls, tracking them -- we've received no notification formally from the phone companies and from the government that our records have been pulled. If, in fact, they have done that and we don't know about it, that's very upsetting.
KURTZ: And the federal government doesn't need a warrant in order to do this?
ROSS: Well, I checked on that. There are two ways. They have something called the National Security Letter, which is a provision of the Patriot Act, in which, essentially, it's a FBI desk subpoena -- an FBI agent can write it up and send it off. And the phone companies have to turn over the records, and they are prohibited from divulging the fact to the customers. The FBI says they don't, as a practice, do that involving reports.
The other way is to use a sitting grand jury and issue a subpoena, or go to a judge and get a warrant, but there we're told that the FBI sometimes will ask for a stay of notification so you don't find out until afterwards. They do that in the case of a drug dealer. They don't want him to know they're investigating him.
But in our case, there should be reason for us to be able to challenge it, and that, in fact, actually is underway now in New York, Howie. As you know, "The New York Times" got word that prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was after the phone records of several of its reporters.
KURTZ: Right.
ROSS: They have fought it in court ...
KURTZ: Let me just jump in here because we're short on time. That "USA Today" story which said that the big telecommunications companies were cooperating with this National Security Agency monitoring of calls: first Verizon issued a denial, now BellSouth has demanded a retraction. Is that story falling apart?
ROSS: I don't think it's falling apart. I think there may be an issue with the word of whether there was a contract between the phone companies and the government, and that seems to be what they're hanging their hat on. But the bare bones of it was certainly confirmed to us and to others. The outline of the program was confirmed to us by senior officials. I think the story stands up. There may be some details that aren't quite right, and they're hanging their hats on that.
KURTZ: "USA Today" is standing by its story as well.
Now, you wrote on your blog on ABC's Web site about the fact that your calls and the calls of other journalists apparently are being -- not eavesdropped upon, but certainly tracked and monitored. Why did you not report this on the air?
ROSS: We have created this new ABC News Blotter we call -- we don't call it a blog -- but where we have put out a number of stories that we break as we come across, and this has become an important way for us to communicate stories as they're developing. We sort of post them. It's like an old-fashioned police blotter. As things happen, we note them and put them there.
And we're still working on a number of stories for "World News Tonight" on that issue. But that takes sometimes a more sophisticated and -- pulling those stories together sometimes takes a bigger reporting effort than the blotter, which is an accurate way, but sometimes it's as it happens, we're putting it out and watching it develop.
KURTZ: All right. Well, I guess I'll have to add that blotter to my daily media diet. Brian Ross, thanks very much for joining us.
ROSS: Well, thank you, Howard. I hope you do.
KURTZ: Up next, the new guy at the podium. How long will the honeymoon last for FOX commentator turned White House spokesman Tony Snow?
And still to come, Mike Wallace sounds off on everything from ambush interviews to Dan Rather.
KURTZ: Welcome back. After a decade as a Fox News commentator, Tony Snow faced the cameras this week for the first time as White House press secretary, and quickly displayed a more freewheeling style than his predecessors as when he discussed the immigration bill.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) TONY SNOW, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: As you know, that is a topic of debate right now before the United States Senate, and I guarantee it's going to go to conference.
KURTZ: Snow later backed off that prediction. A few minutes later, though, he choked up when the subject turned to his recent battle against cancer.
SNOW: Having gone through this last year, and I said this to Chris Wallace, was the best thing that ever happened to me. It's my Ed Muskie moment.
KURTZ: By the second briefing, Snow was giving as good as he got.
SNOW: Jessica, how many times do I have to answer the question same? I've answered the same question the same way eight times now. It's not going to change.
KURTZ: So are Snow's performances helping an embattled president?
Joining us now, Roger Simon, chief political correspondent for Bloomberg News. Lynn Sweet, Washington bureau chief of "The Chicago Sun-Times." And CNN's Ed Henry, who joins us this morning from the White House. Welcome.
Roger Simon, Tony Snow seems to be acting like a human being up there. What's the strategy behind that?
ROGER SIMON, BLOOMBERG NEWS: Well, I think the overall strategy is that he's doing exactly what the president wants him to do. We're discussing Tony Snow's effectiveness instead of President Bush's effectiveness.
KURTZ: Changing the subject?
SIMON: Changing the subject, and that may be his first job. And also, human being plays well on television, even when he choked up there. As long as the public think you are sincere, raw emotion is just fine. That's why politicians have learned how to fake sincerity.
KURTZ: It's one of the first requirements of the job.
Lynn Sweet, do reporters have a sense that Snow is willing to engage with them, at least, and bat things around rather than just recite talking points?
LYNN SWEET, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Well, right. At the end of week one, you know, sure. Though he was very -- at the edge of argumentative in the gaggle on Friday, which is the off-camera briefing, where he told reporters, I question the premise of your question, and he was a little more challenging. But, you know, look it, he's on a honeymoon, and because a lot of people know him, he may get an extra one for two days than normally.
KURTZ: Ed Henry, Lynn Sweet says the honeymoon may only last another, what, 48 hours, but isn't it possible that it will last longer in this sense, that Snow has lightened the mood at the White House press room, which we've seen so many combative moments there? Particularly in recent months?
ED HENRY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely. I mean, he used humor to some effectiveness. After that clip you played about talking about his personal battle with cancer, he lightened it up -- it was so tense in that room -- he lightened it up by saying that his doctor has told him he's not likely to get cancer in this job, but he's going to get heartburn from all these White House reporters. When he was asked by Helen Thomas, pressed about the status of Karl Rove and the CIA leak case, Snow said, I know bupkis, which of course is Yiddish for nothing. Brought a lot of laughter. But obviously, humor can only take you so far, and as Roger and Lynn are noting, this is a good first week for Tony Snow, but that does not make a good White House press secretary. It's going to be a long haul for him.
SWEET: Well, you see, at this point right now, he could say, I don't know. It's easier and nicer then to say no comment repeatedly, but you can only do that so long.
KURTZ: And I want to thank Ed Henry for that translation of bupkis.
Roger Simon, you talked about Tony Snow doing what the president wants. He's the boss.
SIMON: Sure.
KURTZ: Has Bush, by bringing in Snow, decided that he needs better relations with the press because he's struggling politically?
SIMON: Oh, sure. I mean, they have to stop the freefall in the polls. I mean, pretty soon, if they didn't stop the freefall -- actually, he's bounced up a few points this week -- he'd be down to Richard Nixon's level, and that would cause a spate of Richard Nixon story.
But I should say that Tony Snow's predecessor, Scott McClellan, didn't fail because he was a bad messenger. He had a bad message. He had a tough message. What was the positive spin on the Dubai ports deal? Or what was the good news about Harriet Miers or the Iraq war?
KURTZ: Not to mention Hurricane Katrina. But by that standard, Snow may be more glib, he may be more artful, but he is going to still have to deal with the same political realities.
SIMON: Precisely the point. I mean, we are concentrating on the messenger. We know who is behind the messenger, and that is the critical factor in American life, not who sells the message.
KURTZ: Scott McClellan seemed to stand up there day after day and take the slings and arrows from the press. And he had sort of two or three ways of saying no comment -- ongoing investigation, legal matter, personnel issue, hasn't been decided. Do you see Snow from our brief exposure here as ducking the same number of questions but a little more smoothly?
SWEET: Well, I would just urge you to look for a de-emphasis of the on-camera briefing in terms of getting information. This is the sense I have of where he's going to go. That if what you need is information, Howie, by the end of the day, reporters will get it. And it might not be trans -- this on-camera briefing. I don't predict it's going to end, but I think there will be a de-emphasis as this is the end-all of information, and that would be...
KURTZ: Well, why hire a polished television performer like Tony Snow and then not use him to put out information...
SWEET: Oh, they'll use him, but for some of the stuff that's a little more complicated, might be the sparring that Scott couldn't figure out a way to get himself out of the hole -- if you just say, Howie, let me talk to you later about this, and I'm going to get you everything you need. And Roger, what's your question.
KURTZ: Ed, Lynn says that Snow might de-emphasize the briefings, but, of course, he's also talked about the possibility of pulling the plug on the televised aspect of this.
Now, I had a couple of reporters on this program a couple of weeks ago from "The New York Times," "Washington Post," who said they'd love to get the cameras out of there, because they think it turns it into a gong show. How do you as a TV guy -- how valuable is having the cameras there for you?
HENRY: Very valuable, because obviously, that's a chance to get the administration on record. Not just for us in the TV business, but for our viewers all around the world to be able to see what they are saying. It's rare that you get the president speaking on camera. To have a daily briefing is important. I agree sometimes it gets out of hand on both sides, but I think you're right as well, Howie, that Tony Snow, part of the thing that he brings to the table are these skills as a former radio talk show host, as a former TV commentator, and you can bet the White House is going to use that.
And looking beyond the humor and some of the stylistic stuff, there is some substance there that the White House is looking forward to. I talked to some Democrats this week who their report card of Tony Snow was they thought he was pushing back harder than Scott McClellan, and putting aside the style, was making some good points for the administration. They don't agree with those points that he's making, and you're right as well that he has a tough hand to work with right now, but they think that Tony Snow could be effective. So I don't think Tony Snow is going to want to get rid of that effective tool.
KURTZ: Right. Now, President Bush on the airwaves a lot this week. There was the prime-time speech on immigration on Monday, and then when he went to Arizona the other day to the border, suddenly the White House offered five different networks, five-minute interviews with the president. Let's take a look at some of that, and the questions were about immigration, but a number of the questions were about the reporters' favorite subject. Let's watch.
DAVID GREGORY, NBC NEWS: In the most recent survey, your disapproval rating is now one point lower than Richard Nixon's before he resigned the presidency.
SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN: Clearly it is your lowest approval ratings at this point, and congressional Republicans are going in their own direction.
KURTZ: Roger Simon, are reporters obsessed with polls, or is that a must question? Is that a must -- you're laughing. Is that a must question when a president is struggling at 30 percent?
SIMON: This would be an easy one for Tony Snow. Yes. Reporters are obsessed with polls. The nation has become obsessed with polls.
Polls are a tool. I mean, we used to call reporting, reporting. You used to make phone calls and ask people what they thought, and now we just sort of glibly repeat polls, because we think we're knowing magic things. We think we can know the unknowable, what the American people really think at any moment. Anecdotally, do people think -- what we call reporting -- do people think that George Bush has had a tough year and that he's less popular now than he was a year ago? Sure, he is. Do we know that it's 36 percent this week and it was 31 percent last week and it may be 34.5 percent next week?
KURTZ: Such a precise science. Now, Snow told me that he hopes to make the president available for more interviews than in the past. Would that be a smart strategy?
SWEET: Absolutely. Because the most effective message could probably come from the messenger himself, and that also helps Tony because then he's not left to guess what's happening more. You know, he said, talk to the president yourself.
Also, the president has been so cloistered from reporters during these years that it would be welcome.
I want to point out, we're almost six years into the presidency, though. No matter who the messenger is, or, you know, PR alone can't change the situation, and Roger noted that when started talking here. What the circumstances are, the stories that come out, are really what is what Tony has to work with. He can't change the course of events. He can only help probably to explain them better.
KURTZ: Right. But it seems to me that a president is always the best salesman for his own policy. Ed Henry, we've got about half a minute here. Bush was known for doing few news conferences and relatively few when he was in his first term. Why the new approach, in your view?
HENRY: I think clearly given the state of where the president is right now, it might be, as you're noting, that he's the best messenger for that. He also tried a few months ago some off-the-record chats with reporters. I think it's partly an acknowledgement that this White House, which had been almost disdainful of the press, had not wanted to reach out, is realizing that there is some give-and-take here, and it might suit them better in the long run if they start working with the press a little bit more, Howie.
KURTZ: All right. You get the last word. Lynn Sweet, Roger Simon, thanks very much.
And tomorrow, don't miss Ed Henry as he sits down with the king of talk, special political roundtable, live from D.C. on LARRY KING LIVE, Monday 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Only on CNN.
And just ahead on RELIABLE SOURCES, our "Media Minute." The BBC expert who wasn't, and Paul McCartney's relationship with the media hits a sour note over his marital break-up.
And stick around for our sitdown with Mike Wallace, still ticking, still feisty at 88.
KURTZ: Time now for the latest from the world of media news.
KURTZ (voice-over): The BBC looked bloody silly when a man named Guy Goma showed up for a job interview and got mixed up with another guy named Guy and found himself on the air as an expert on a court case between Apple Computer and the Beatles' Apple Records.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, Guy Kuehne (ph) is the editor of the technology Web site NewsWireless. Hello, good morning to you.
GUY GOMA: Good morning.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Were you surprised by this verdict today?
GOMA: I'm very surprised to see this verdict, to come on me, because I was not expecting that.
KURTZ: But a funny thing happened after the Beeb's blunder. The great mixup made Guy Goma a celebrity in the British press, and so now he gets interviewed on television as if he really were an expert on, well, just about everything.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: While we've got you here, EU membership for Bulgaria and Romania, do you think that's a good thing?
GOMA: Not really.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Do you think interest rates are going to go up or down in the next four weeks?
GOMA: Uh...
KURTZ: It's true, television loves people who become famous no matter what the reason.
And speaking of the Beatles, you would think that Paul McCartney, who has been in the public eye for four decades, would be used to all the media attention by now. But when the former Beatle announced this week that he's separating from Heather Mills after a four-year marriage, the couple's statement said that intrusive media coverage had made it, quote, "increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship."
It's too bad the press couldn't just let him be. But in the end, tabloids and paparazzi aren't responsible for failed marriages. And McCartney has long reaped the benefits of global publicity that turned so many of us into fans.
KURTZ: Coming up in the second half of RELIABLE SOURCES, my exclusive sitdown with "60 Minutes" veteran Mike Wallace. The pioneer of the ambush interview talks about the current state of gotcha TV news, Katie Couric at the CBS anchor desk, and much more. That's just ahead, after the check of the hour's top stories from the CNN Center in Atlanta.
(NEWSBREAK)
KURTZ: Welcome back to RELIABLE SOURCES. Tonight, "60 Minutes" is paying tribute to the man who helped launched the CBS news magazine, along with producer Don Hewitt back in 1968 and has been there, stirring up controversy ever since. It's hard to imagine "60 Minutes" without Mike Wallace, who says he is finally giving up his full-time spot on the program, although, as you'll see, he won't fade away completely. I sat down with him in his CBS office in New York, and I began by asking him about the ambush interviews he conducted in the '70s, and '80s surprising some allegedly bad guy on the street with a camera crew.
WALLACE: We were the first people who did investigative stuff, who asked occasionally abrasive, occasionally confrontational questions and when we had tried to get somebody to go on the air and they had turned us away and turned us away. Then we tried occasionally to catch them unawares, coming out of their offices or on the street or whatever. And Hewitt and I came to the conclusion that that was more heat than light came out of that. We weren't getting a lot of information from those so-called ambushes. So, we quit.
KURTZ: You write in your autobiography, there were times we got so caught up in the investigative fever that we adopted a sort of crusade mentality.
WALLACE: That's probably true. That's probably true.
KURTZ: You also were among those who pioneered the use of hidden cameras in investigations.
WALLACE: Yeah.
KURTZ: Do you think that led to what we see today with "Dateline: NBC" using hidden cameras to catch sexual predators and all these local stations using hidden cameras to find people who park in handicap spaces?
WALLACE: I have no doubt that what we started has become a plague. Because - and that's a million years ago but we got caught up in the drama more than we caught up in going after the facts.
KURTZ: Why do you say it's a plague?
WALLACE: Oh, because it's too much. Self conscious, confrontational, ambushing and news, as you know, has turned into that kind of thing. There's a lot of info-tainment in it and there's a lot of tabloid in it and ...
KURTZ: Let's talk about some of the more famous interviews you've done over the years. This one really struck me. Lyndon Johnson, after he left office you went down to interview him. You said you wanted to talk about Vietnam. He said no way was he going to talk about Vietnam.
WALLACE: Listen, I've talked to Cronkite about that and I'm going to send you boys packing if you keep about that Vietnam.
KURTZ: So what did you do?
WALLACE: What we did was we - he said, I'm not going to talk about it. So I said, OK. So Hewitt and I went downstairs and thought to ourselves, how do we get him to talk about Vietnam and - so in any case, he had gone away and had written down - I mean he wrote a wonderful, a wonderful one-minute thing about - not just about Vietnam, but about the Civil War and about World War II, et cetera, et cetera. And he said, unfortunately presidents who are presidents during wartime have their names attached to certain wars. It was a wonderful declaration by LBJ.
KURTZ: That year in 1968, Richard Nixon won and you seriously thought about becoming his press secretary.
WALLACE: Yes.
KURTZ: Let me put this delicately. What the hell were you thinking?
WALLACE: What are you talking about?
KURTZ: For one thing you were a life-long journalist. Obviously you had no way of knowing at that time that Nixon was going to get into a major corruption scandal ...
WALLACE: Oh no, of course not. But listen, I'd never worked in Washington. I'd worked in Washington coming down from New York. But I never lived in Washington and it occurred to me, what a way to learn, inside the White House. And then of course along came Hewitt with his notion about something called "60 Minutes" and I forgot about going to work for Richard Nixon.
KURTZ: You were very friendly over the years with Nancy Reagan. And you interviewed her after the Reagan left the White House and you asked one of those questions about a junket, basically, that they were taking to Japan for which they would be paid $2 million. She did not like that question. How did that affect your friendship?
WALLACE: It - for a while, she was mad. Now you didn't really need that question, she said. But it only took a little while. Larry King was talking to me, I guess, on his show. And he said your friend Nancy is not talking to you anymore? And I said, oh, come on. I don't know if she's not talking, though I haven't talked to her for a while and I said Nancy, call me. I said it into the camera, call me. Because we were old friends and her mother and I were friends and she called me the next day.
KURTZ: That's one way to patch things up. An interview I've seen replayed a couple of times with Ayatollah Khomeini.
WALLACE: Uh-huh.
WALLACE: President Sadat of Egypt, a devoutly religious man, a Muslim, says that what you are doing now is, quote, a disgrace to Islam. And he calls you Imam, forgive me, his words not mine, a lunatic.
KURTZ: Were you nervous?
WALLACE: You know something? I wasn't really. I mean, what are they going to do? Take me hostage? We went over the questions ahead of time with his people.
KURTZ: I bet that wasn't on the list. Huh? I bet that wasn't ...
WALLACE: No, that was not on the list, so when I asked him about it, he hadn't been paying a lot of attention to me up to that time and I got his attention. A lunatic? Well, Sadat is not much of a Muslim and I don't predict much of a future for Sadat, and so forth. I had no idea. Sadat must have known at that time that Khomeini was doing lunatic things. He was sending kids out to explode mines with their bodies to get in the way of Iraqi - this is during the Iraq-Iran war.
WALLACE: And it was - I mean, that is a lunatic thing to do.
KURTZ: A harbinger of things to come. You also knew Shirley MacLaine. You dated Shirley MacLaine for a while ...
WALLACE: I didn't date her.
KURTZ: You ...
WALLACE: I went out with her. Yes. But mostly I triple-dated her with a lady that I was about to marry. We really did. We had dinners together the three of us.
KURTZ: And when you interviewed Shirley MacLaine she talked about her previous lives.
WALLACE: You really believe that you've lived lives before and..
SHIRLEY MACLAINE: Oh yes Mike, I know, there's no doubt in my mind about it.
KURTZ: You asked her, what about people who think you're a nutcase? Did that affect your friendship at all?
WALLACE: Not at all. I love her, loved her then, love her now. She knows - she believes some of these nutty things, probably still does.
KURTZ: All right.
WALLACE: And we're friends still.
KURTZ: The big libel suit you faced, General William Westmoreland, over your Vietnam documentary which finally withdrawn just before it went to trial. Looking back on it now some decades later, any lesson that you draw from that whole difficult episode?
WALLACE: Well, that's the thing that put me into a depression.
KURTZ: You've been very candid in talking about taking medication ...
WALLACE: Yeah. Yeah. KURTZ: What about journalistically?
WALLACE: Look. The piece about Westmoreland was accurate.
WALLACE: The fact is that we Americans were misinformed about the nature and the size of the enemy we were facing.
WALLACE: He put a phony top on enemy troops. Why? Because if the American public knew that there was 600,000 enemy out there instead of 300,000 and it was an unpopular war to begin with, who knows what might have happened? "The Uncounted Enemy, a Vietnam Deception." And, look, he cheated. He lied to the American people. I can't believe that he lied to Lyndon Johnson about I ...
KURTZ: Back in the 1950s when you were doing a talk show, Mike, you used to do commercials for Phillip Morris.
WALLACE: Mm-hmm.
KURTZ: It was common then for talk show hosts to smoke on the air and so forth.
KURTZ: So then in '95 you famously interviewed the tobacco industry whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand and CBS management blocked that story from airing and you accused Larry Tisch, then the head of the network of tarnishing CBS. Was that perhaps one of your most difficult ...
WALLACE: It was difficult but look -- public health, no one denied that cigarettes - by this time, no one denied but all of the sudden we had somebody from the inside who said, effectively that all these guys who - the tobacco executives who had testified under oath and said tobacco is not addictive were lying.
KURTZ: And you couldn't get that story on the air.
WALLACE: That's correct. But eventually we knew that we would eventually get it on the air if we hung in there. We knew eventually we were going to get it on the air and as soon as the "Wall Street Journal" published the same stuff that we had, and they weren't - if the "Wall Street Journal" can do it then we can do it and we didn't have any trouble persuading the management at CBS News.
KURTZ: You write that your relationship with Don Hewitt, the founder of "60 Minutes," the longtime executive producer of the program ...
WALLACE: And a good friend.
KURTZ: ... and a good friend of yours personally was never quite the same. You could not forgive him, your words, for not standing up to the corporate muzzling.
WALLACE: That's true and he and I are still friends. I still am grateful to him for originally coming up with the notion for "60 Minutes." Effectively, Hewitt was out of a job at the time of - he came up with the notion for "60 Minutes" and it was a genius idea, changed the face of a lot of television journalism and made conservatively more than a billion dollars for CBS along the way.
KURTZ: Was there any resistance to you, a guy who had hosted a game show, to be a marquee player on this new television news magazine.
WALLACE: By that time I think that I had - in the old days, I as a newsreader too, I did game shows, I did interview shows, I did talk shows, I did commercials, I did acting. But all of that was a million years ago and if you were to do a piece, Howard, about some of the things that a lot of very, very prestigious reporters did before they couldn't do it anymore ...
KURTZ: Did you ever want to be anchor?
WALLACE: Not really. I don't think I had the demeanor. I don't think I have the face - may have the voice but not the demeanor for an anchor. And I defied it. Something about all of us didn't seem to be anchor and also my nature is not that. My nature is to - what I wanted to do was carve out a little piece of the territory for myself when I found out what it was and I found that out when I did Nightfeed (ph) back in the '50s and that was quite satisfying.
KURTZ: The incoming anchor of "CBS Evening News" is breaking the mold a little bit, Katie Couric. How do you think she'll do?
WALLACE: I'll be very curious. Look, I have nothing but admiration. I know her. I have admiration for her. She's a damned good reporter. She's been a street reporter. She's talked to everybody in the world and she's going to have Bob Schieffer as her Eric Severeid and that's going to have ...
KURTZ: People say it's a difficult transition from the lighter - morning ...
WALLACE: From perky to sort of - she'll do it. Whether anybody is going to really tune in, we'll see. We'll see.
KURTZ: CNN's Anderson Cooper joining "60 Minutes" as a part time contributor. Is that a good fit?
WALLACE: I think he's an excellent reporter. He has all kinds of energy. He's - I know Anderson and I have great admiration for Anderson.
KURTZ: Chris Wallace, your son ...
KURTZ: ... a couple of years ago joined the Fox News Channel became the anchor for "Fox News Sunday." Were you surprised at all that he would leave one of the broadcast networks and go to work for an operation that some people think is on the conservative side of the street.
WALLACE: I don't know what his politics are and he's not on the conservative side.
KURTZ: You don't talk politics around - over dinner?
WALLACE: Oh sure. And he's a dispassionate reporter. But he was at ABC and the damn fools - honestly, I mean, he's so good at what he does. I mean he really is better than I ever was. So ABC didn't understand - I mean, they must be gnashing their teeth now because he's proved - he's done such a great job with FOX NEWS SUNDAY.
KURTZ: You don't think that ABC fully appreciated his talents?
WALLACE: Somebody at ABC didn't.
KURTZ: When we come back, Mike Wallace on media mistakes, what he really thinks about Dan Rather and the Bush National Guard story that embarrassed CBS and whether he's actually giving up his day job.
KURTZ: And welcome back, more now of my interview with Mike Wallace, his view of the media and whether "60 Minutes" producer Jeff Fager might still utilize his services in the future.
Criticizing the media has become a national sport. These days talk radio, bloggers, you name it, everybody takes a whack at people like you and me.
WALLACE: Right.
KURTZ: In recent years, what event do you think has damaged the media's reputation the most of the various missteps and mistakes, what's ...
WALLACE: Well, when the "New York Times" has a Howell Raines who is seriously arrogant in the way that he handled certain things that happened at the "New York Times" and when this network does a piece about George W. Bush's military record that is obviously flawed. They have been waiting for us - when I say they...
KURTZ: They?
WALLACE: The public, they have been waiting for us ...
KURTZ: To do what? To fall on our faces?
WALLACE: We love - we as people - Americans, Europeans whatever, we love to see the people up top - get past the facade and find out we too are fallible human beings.
KURTZ: And that - that story you referred to, Dan Rather's piece on Bush in the National Guard aired on "60 Minutes II." Not the same as "60 Minutes" but obviously you shared a name. Do you think that that tarnished the brand a little bit?
WALLACE: No, I don't, because there was - it didn't seem to, in any case. We've been on the air for what, 35 years? It's - I think that "60 Minutes" - really believe that "60 Minutes" is as good a broadcast as it's ever been still today.
KURTZ: You came on after that episode which resulted in several people losing their jobs and said that Dan Rather should have resigned over that story.
WALLACE: Look. I told that to Dan before I told it to anybody else. Look, it's a collaborative undertaking, what we do here.
KURTZ: Producers, staff.
WALLACE: Exactly, researchers and all that. And they broke their pikes (ph) getting that piece on the air. Rather, who took something of a beating, had he said to management, if you're going to fire these people, I worked with them all the way. They knew just exactly what was going on, I knew what was going on. Why do I stay on and they're fired? And I believe that had he done it, had he resigned, or had he said, if they go, I go, they would have named journalism schools after him.
KURTZ: He would have done more to preserve his reputation ...
WALLACE: Absolutely.
KURTZ: ... by walking out the door. Because he would be seen what, as taking full responsibility for what happened?
WALLACE: Absolutely. In the final analysis we guys who are the anchors - we're not really anchors, but we're the people on the air.
KURTZ: You're the public face of the news division.
WALLACE: That's correct. And it's a collaborative undertaking, as you well know. So if the people who helped us are fired, what else can you do? You say well, if they're fired, the hell with you. I'm going too.
KURTZ: After nearly, what, half a century with CBS I picked up the paper one day and read that you are flirting with NBC. Why would you ...
WALLACE: Well, NBC was flirting with me.
KURTZ: But you were flirting back.
WALLACE: Yes. I was having lunch, yeah. No, I thought about it. I thought about it and I finally decided two things. I didn't - to go over to NBC News at my age and with my - I didn't have enough psychic energy left to close up this office and move across and then I talked to people here and said - and all of the sudden, they said hey, this is the mother church (ph) and it is the mother church and I've been here forever so why would I want to go?
KURTZ: You're 88 years old this month. And we had heard before you are cutting back, you're going into semi-retirement. Now you never seem to do it. Is this just another stop on the farewell tour?
WALLACE: It could be. It could be. They have some plans, Jeff Fager has some plans and we'll see.
KURTZ: What's you're intention? Will you still be occasionally on the air?
WALLACE: Oh. Absolutely. Absolutely.
KURTZ: You're going to be doing fewer stories than in the past?
KURTZ: Your son says that you can't help yourself.
WALLACE: That's correct. And my son knows me quite well. So no - look, 88, give me a break. How long am I going to hang around?
KURTZ: Why didn't you hang it up 10 years ago? Most people would have been out of the business by now.
WALLACE: Because I wouldn't have known what else to do, Howard, truly. This wasn't work. This was a joy to come to this office every day and see people buzzing up and down the halls and doing stories and reading a Kurtz column and saying he's full of - no.
KURTZ: There's some things you still can't say on television. Mike Wallace, thanks very much for sitting down with us in your office.
WALLACE: Howard. Thank you.
KURTZ: Mike Wallace, still going strong at 88. I don't think he's going anywhere. Up next, the latest search for Jimmy Hoffa. Is it front page news or just another figure me, dead end?
KURTZ: The FBI is still searching for Jimmy Hoffa, 31 years later. How great a story is that? As agents dug up a horse farm in suburban Detroit, the latest wrinkle in the Hoffa mystery got page one play in the "Detroit News," but not in the "Detroit Free Press." And Caesar Andrews (ph) told "Editor & Publisher" that too many past Hoffa searches quote, have led to a big fat nothing. Now if the diggers find some sign of the union leader's body, that might just make the front page everywhere in the world.
Well, that's it for this edition of RELIABLE SOURCES. I'm Howard Kurtz. Join us against next Sunday morning, 10:00 a.m. Eastern for another critical look at the media. "Late Edition" with Wolf Blitzer begins right now.

What The Duke Wants
Eleanor could have killed her brother. And she probably would have tried had she gotten half a chance.
He was the type of man that always got himself in trouble. He had a problem with gambling. It wasn't a secret, but it had finally gone to far.
He had fallen in with a bad crowd. One that had the handsome Lord Francis. A man that made most girls swoon with delight. She was going to have to watch herself near him. He was a known charmer that knew his way around women.
A heartbreaker and a rogue, even if his family had enough power and influence to allow his small indiscretions. She wished that she could say the same thing about herself, but she was bound by the rules of society no matter how she tried to buck them.
But none of that mattered. The first thing that she had to do was save her brother. The rest of her problems would be dealt with later.
The Duke's Scandalous Offer
Liam couldn't help himself. He had never been the type to settle down. But he had news that his brother was about to bring home a wife. A political marriage.
It was the last thing he wanted for himself.
At least, until he saw the bride. An old friend from the time when he was a younger man.
At thirteen they had shared an innocent kiss. And then Clara had been ripped out of his life. Uprooted by the state of her family.
The rumors had flown about her family, but no one knew for sure and she hadn't been back.
Until now. As his brother's fiancé. And his breath caught in his- throat. She was in trouble. And had to marry quickly, but she wouldn't speak a word about what it was.

Be smart. Get the right help buying a franchise.
QUESTION: My wife and I have been franchise shopping for several months and it seems like the longer we look the more confused we are. Is this a common problem?
First, your problem is the most common one found among ALL franchise buyers and we'll give you the reasons it's true. Getting competent help buying a franchise is obviously wise in our opinion – it's part of our consulting practice – but beyond the fact that we believe in it, buyers normally reach that conclusion once the smoke and mirrors are removed. Consider the following points.
Franchising is a huge industry. Not only are there hundreds of thousands of franchised units operating in the North America, those units represent roughly 100 different types of businesses (pizza, printing, cosmetics, pets, bookkeeping, etc.) and those different categories have multiple brand names. That's the first level of confusion and it alone should be an incentive to get help buying a franchise.
Franchising is a salesman's dream. Too many people buy franchises because they see their dream in the concept and who's better at weaving that dream than the bright, articulate salesperson representing it? Keeping the lines clear between reality and dreamland is reason enough to get help buying a franchise. But let's uncover the greatest reasons (#3 & 4) of all for confusion.
The vast majority of buyers don't begin their search with a firm knowledge of who they are and what best fits their style. Indeed, we don't approach many of life's big decisions with a clear knowledge of who we are and what will best complement us. Knowing who we are and what might actually work for us in business is paramount in finding the right landing zone. It all starts with a personal plan and we developed such a planning tool after years of observation and study – The Focus Program for Emerging Entrepreneurs.
The last item on our critical list is franchise due diligence; an extremely difficult chore to perform because there are so many elements involved. Yes, there are the obvious items such as disclosures, contracts and financials, but how about the concept, the people and many other questions that all add up to a buy or don't buy decision? So, mentorship is the key to knocking out the best in due diligence and personal protection.

Science Warehouse Procurement Trends Report – Spend Analysis Still Has Some Way To Go
- August 7, 2017 7:31 AM |
Categories: Procurement Commentary	| Tags: Science Warehouse
Picture number: COM/B911217 Description: Wrens operating the 'Colossus' computer, 1943. Colossus was the world's first electronic programmable computer, at Bletchley Park in Bedfordshire. Bletchley Park was the British forces' intelligence centre during WWII, and is where cryptographers deciphered top-secret military communiques between Hitler and his armed forces. The communiques were encrypted in the Lorenz code which the Germans considered unbreakable, but the codebreakers at Bletchley cracked the code with the help of Colossus, and so aided the Allies' victory.

We wrote here about the Science Warehouse customer event in Leeds recently, which also acted as the launch event for results from the firm's Procurement Trends 2017 Survey, their sixth such report.
So what does it tell us this year? It highlights four key themes; data, technology, strategic procurement and "the future" which includes Brexit and other interesting unknowns! There is quite a range of interesting findings; this is just a sample here to whet your appetite really.
Starting with data, which includes procurement solutions generally, there is no surprise that "ease of use" is the most important factor in choosing procurement solutions. That suggest procurement functions have realised – quite rightly - that stakeholder expectations are high as B2C technology has become so simple and ubiquitous.
Perhaps more surprisingly, only "10% of organisations have been able to achieve best-in-class" spend analysis. In other words, they have automated reporting from a unified data set classified to line level." Most organisations are stills struggling here – despite it being many years since spend analysis first became a core capability. Private sector organisations seem to be even worse at this than public, another shock.
Only 17% of respondents have adopted a full "Source to Settle" suite so far. But 41% plan to invest in some technology, which is around the historical average. Frankly we're surprised it is not higher – it probably should be if procurement is to progress as it should. 20% say they are planning to increase procurement headcount, down from the average of 26% in recent years. But that still exceeds the 12% who are planning to reduce headcount.
So the robots aren't taking over just yet! But maybe they will – last year, just 6% of respondents thought artificial intelligence would be relevant in the next 5 years, this time it was 21%. ) Oddly, there was a decline in people saying cloud-based solutions were the most relevant technology for procurement. But we suspect that is simply we now take it for granted that most tech will be cloud-based; it is a bit like asking whether electricity will be the most relevant factor! Supplier networks was the other area that saw a big jump in expected importance.
The section on measures used for procurement threw up some interesting findings. The size of savings targets seem to have declined in general – perhaps more realism is the cause (speaking as a cynic about how savings are measured in most organisations anyway)! Spend under management remains important, but there is little sign of a general increase in this across the sample, although the percentage of organisations that have a very low figure for that metric seems to be declining, which is good news.
Anyway, we could go on, but instead, do download the report and take a look yourself – it is available here, free on registration.

What did the month of August unveil; what's NEW in the dairy world? From Nedap and Cogent forming a partnership to Biomin's new book on Zearalenone, check out the latest developments in the sector…
Trouw Nutrition and Wageningen University & Research strengthen collaboration
Trouw Nutrition, Nutreco's animal nutrition division, and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) intend on strengthen collaboration to accelerate scientific progress in animal and food sciences. The cooperation aims to enhance sustainability of livestock production by developing knowledge and accelerating innovations in animal nutrition to improve animal health and welfare. Current and future projects focus on early life nutrition, precision nutrition, and nutrition in relation to health and welfare of livestock.

Biomin publishes research book on Zearalenone
Animal nutrition and feed additive firm, Biomin, has recently published a book detailing the latest scientific knowledge about zearalenone, a mycotoxin that is commonly found in feed materials and associated with reproductive challenges in animals.
The Zearalenone Compendium, edited by Dr Paula Kovalsky and Dr Christiane Gruber-Dorninger, compiles the literature on zearalenone in a practical manner and provides an overview of the symptoms caused by zearalenone in different animals and the strategies available to counteract them.
Due to its structural similarity to estrogen, fungi-produced zearalenone latches onto the estrogen receptor, which can induce hyperestrogenism and lead to lower reproductive performance in animals. The electronic version of the Zearalenone Compendium is available via most major e-book platforms and 5m Publishing's website.

Scottish dairy tech company expands into US
Dairy tech company, IceRobotics, from Scotland has just signed a 5-year deal to supply its analytic software to a major US customer. Based in Edinburgh, IceRobotics will supply CowAlert to one of the largest dairy groups in North America. This follows 2 years of commercial trials supported by the IceRobotics team, both in the US and in Scotland.
The deal, which will see the latest CowAlert technology applied to 11,000 cows, is the biggest deal in the company's history. CowAlert is a software package that provides farmers with practical and reliable information gleaned from sensors attached to the cows, which helps farmers maximise their dairy herd's performance, whilst saving time and money.
Using a combination of highly accurate data analysis software and robust wireless sensors, called IceQubes, the company continuously monitors each cow as she goes about her daily business, automatically collecting detailed information on her patterns of behaviour. CowAlert turns IceQube's data into real-time, relevant alerts and information to help farmers manage and control their herds.

Happy new year. I hope 2017 treats you well.
Did you get any money for christmas and thinking of buying a new TV or other electrical item, then head on over to Currys.co.uk where you will pick up some great deals. Currently they have up to 50% discount for both online and in store purchases. This sale may not last long so you will have to be quick.
A friend of mine told me that he brought a Samsung 40 inch TV for just £279.99. This is a superb price for such a good decent Television. Perfect for that games room or 2nd lounge. It looks pretty decent and he is happy with it.
Here is the TV, not bad for less than 200 quid hey!
After being frugal for many years, I've decided that I don't treat myself enough, so I went out and brought me a brand new BMW 4 series. I had my eye on this motor for several months and my wife's car finance was up for renewal. So we both agreed we would trade her older car in for my new beemer. So I've traded in a Nissan Qashqai family car for a 2 door coupe! mid life crisis or what!
Being a Frugal Dad has helped me to manage my money and allow me the luxury to buy a new car. Also having several websites which bring in additional income every month also helps. In fact the upgrade from the Qashqai to the BMW hasn't cost much more on our monthly payments. I could have some savings to buy the car but decided with interest rates being so low I would use the car finance so that we have savings for a rainy day.
I'm now on the hunt for some upgrades for my car. I want to make my car look unique so that it's not entirely the same as every other car on the road. Some people will think I'm crazy to spend so much money on a car, but this is one of my passions. So I plan to get a new rear bumper, called a diffuser, some black kidney grills and a 2nd set of bmw alloy wheels from alloywheelfinder.com for the winter.
Here is a picture of my new car. Hope you like it!
Recently we returned from our family holiday in Tenerife. It was such a good week, relaxing, spending quality time with the wife and kids and to completely switch off from every day issues.
We stayed in a place called Costa Adeje, next to the popular Playa De Las Americas but far enough away to avoid the chavs and also since we aren't on a 18-30s lads holiday.
We decided to go back to a hotel we have stayed at before since we had a great time last year in the same hotel/resort. We found the best price was to book direct with the hotel.
The hotel was rated 5 star and the kids had a great time in the pool last year, however this year was a bit of a let-down, since the hotel manager has changed, the children weren't allowed floats in the pool. Apart from a few issues with the hotel, we still had a great time. Would we recommend someone to stay here? Probably for the money it's pretty reasonable. However we'd prefer to pay that little extra and stay somewhere different next time. We did however love the resort and would definitely go back.
We flew with Monarch Airlines. We shopped around and used a website (which I'm sure you've heard of on the TV) called Trivago to help find the cheapest flights. We paid about £1200 for 2 adults and 2 children for our flights. This was fairly cheap considering it was kids school holidays. The flights were ok, but the seats not that comfortable. No leg room, but we coped for the 4 hour flight and soon forgot about it once we got to the resort.
Costa Adeje has 2 parts to it, the nice part with some fancy restaurants, a little more expensive eating out that say at home. About £60-70 for a evening meal with drinks for 4 people. This 'posh' part was near to the Del Duque beach. The other part had a bit of a Blackpool feel to it with for us wouldn't be our choice of a Spanish holiday resort. However they do also have nice restaurants and lots of things to do for the kids (trampolines, crazy golf, nice beach etc.).
We ended up getting a taxi a few times to a place called Safari Centre in Las Americas of all places. I tell you what, since I last went to Tenerife in my twenties, this place has changed massively. The safaris centre has several restaurants and you will be spoilt for choice. They had a Tex-mex, an Italian, a Steak House, & a Thai restaurant. We tried several of these restaurants out and enjoyed the food in all of these, with very friendly staff, good service and a great atmosphere. From Adeje to the Safari Centre, a taxi would cost about 12 Euros, but well worth it.
We also took the kids to Siam Park for the day. This is the best water park in Tenerife, if not the best we've been to before. The only issue we had was having to queue up to get in the park and to get your locker. Once you've found the beach as a base, you can explore the water park. Loads of fun water slides, rapids, wave machine for all the family to enjoy.
We will return to Tenerife for our family holiday in the next couple of years. We have some other places in the world to explore first.
If you are like me, you tend to play golf when the weather is nice. I'm a seasonal Golfer and if I'm lucky I'll play more than a few times a year. It is difficult with a young family trying to find the time since a day out at the Golf course is exactly that… a day out. It takes up so much time. Getting around 19 holes (18 on the golf course and the 19th in the clubhouse) can take a good 4-5 hours.
I recently was looking for a new set of clubs and as I don't play that often I didn't want to fork out loads on a brand new set. Golf sets can be very expensive, so I found this neat site which sells both new and used golf clubs for sale online at discount prices here. They have a huge selection and I must have spent a couple of hours browsing through every possible golf model available as their was just so much choice.
I've now put it on my birthday list and will see if I'm lucky enough to get them! I opted for a used set of Nike Clubs. I didn't go with Ping since they are mostly custom fit to you, and a bit more expensive. I also liked Titleist but thought Nike suited me best because I am a bit of an amateur golfer!
Before now I've been using a 2nd hand set that I brought off my brother in law about 10 years ago. They've lasted me very well and before that I had my Dad's old clubs. You can safely say I don't mind having peoples left overs!
I just found this Genius idea of a product that solves a common problem in my household and I'm sure it will help other parents who have children that moan about having their hair washed.
It's called the Splash Guard. It looks a little like a pretty dustpan that fits around the forehead of your child. Apparently you need to make sure to hold it in a downward angle and not like a baseball cap as someone in the Amazon reviews stated!
I'm sure my wife will purchase one of these as soon as she reads this blog post! Maybe I should have kept quiet so she doesn't spend any more money. Although this will benefit us as a family as the kids will no longer winge and it will help speed up shower times.
Being a Parent is not an easy task most of the time. We always want to make sure they are cared for and looked after. I'm sure most parents at some point or another have lost there child because they have run off somewhere whether it be in a big shop or at some busy place like legoland! You will be going out of your mind trying to find them. I found this great DIY tip on another blog so can't take credit for the idea but wanted to share it on here.
Basically you write 'if lost call' and your mobile number on your childs arm, then put the liquid bandaid on top, wait for it to dry and now you have yourself a temporary tattoo that is also water proof. This should last about a day.
Payday Loans can be a life saver for some people and for others can turn into a nightmare. It's about how and when to use them. Usually it's a last resort to turn to payday loans when money is running tight and you have no other means. This blog is mainly about money saving, but I think it would also be a good idea to share my view point on the lending side in case there are people out there who are cash strapped, who might be reading this blog and are unsure whether to use a payday loan to help them or not.
I'm sure by now you've all heard about payday loans; we've seen the adverts everywhere and maybe thought to yourself, why anyone would want to take out one of those when they have such huge interest rates!! I agree with you until you start to think about the situation people might be in, with no other options available to them. Often people will need access to money ASAP and are not able to get the cash they need quickly. Payday loans are flexible and offer loans in 15 minutes in most cases. Some reasons why they would need cash so quickly could be to pay for things like boiler breakdown, emergency car repairs, got rent to pay and simply cannot afford it this month.
The high interest rates can put you off even thinking about applying for a cash loan online. Some lenders charging as high as 4000% APR. It does seem ridiculous. You have to remember that this is the rate per annum. You will only ever take out a loan for up to 1 month, so the charges will be pro-rated. It's often best to look at the amount of interest charges you will end up paying back. As long as you feel comfortable with this and feel you can pay this back next month then it could be the solution for you. However if can turn into your worst enemy if you aren't able to pay it back because the interest will creep up on you. These loans are so easily accessible that it can be so easy cause you to spiral into debt. Much like credit cards can be.
So why not get a credit card then. This is certainly a better option in some cases providing you can wait up to a couple of weeks. It can take a while to apply and also seems to take a long time before you get accepted and are able to use the card. You can also use your overdraft facility if you have one but make sure to check the charges. Some banks charge daily fees so this can often work out more expensive that what a payday loan works out to cost you. It's just that banks do not show the interest amount on these fees as they are fixed.
Getting a credit card or using your overdraft facility can be alternate solutions, however not always readily available to everyone. Usually you have to have a good track record and a good credit score. Maybe you are currently not employed and are unable to borrow off your family, so the only option is loans for the unemployed.
So if you find yourself struggling with no alternative, then a payday loan could be the only solution for you. Just remember to pay it back as quickly as possible. Consider cancelling your subscriptions to those 'luxury items' and also maybe eat beans on toast for a while. Take back any recent clothes you may have brought, consider walking to places instead of using the car. Do all you can to cut back until your finances are sorted.
The Internet has revolutionised our lives. Using the world wide web you can book a holiday, buy shoes or even make a whole new virtual life, if you have a mind to. The Internet has also changed the way we can earn and is a gateway to a world of money making schemes. From being able to sell samsung galaxy s, to selling your talents or even flogging your old clothes, there are a variety of easy and quick ways to earn extra money.
It may not sound like a particularly inspiring way of making money, but clearing your house of clutter can actually help you to earn some quick money. In amongst all the broken toys and torn clothes, you might actually find a few things of value. Anything that you have that you think might be worth a bit you can list on online auction sites. It's very simple to put your things up on sites like ebay and the cost is minimal.
Vintage clothing sells particularly well, as do old records. However, if you find any electronics that you want to sell, it's a good idea to try specialist sites, where you'll probably find a better deal. If you're selling an old phone then the best place to try is on an online phone recycling scheme, which can pay out a fair amount depending on the age and condition of your model.
In general, filling out a questionnaire form is fairly dull and not something that you'd do by choice. However, the internet has turned even this prosaic pastime into a potential money maker. Paid questionnaire sites include ipsosinteractive.com, swagbucks.com and onepoll.com.
Once you register with one of these sites you'll start to get questionnaires in your email inbox. Although the money isn't great, if you spend a lot of your free time diligently filling in the questionnaires you get sent you could stand to earn several hundred pounds a year, either in money or in vouchers.
The current economic climate is making it harder and harder for people to find work; this is especially true for those without experience, such as those fresh out of university. However, in some professions such as graphic design and copywriting, the internet has made it easy to forge a career path on your own. Sites like peopleperhour.com, gofreelance.com and guru.com are designed to make working for yourself easy.
After setting up an account with one of these sites, you'll become part of an online database that allows you to advertise yourself to would-be employers. If you lack experience you can make yourself more attractive to potential employers by reducing the hourly rate that you would be willing to work for. Once you've found a bit of work, finding more becomes easy, so you can sit back, relax and wait for employers to find you.
Family holidays are supposed to be a time for relaxation and enjoyment as you experience new surroundings in the company of the people that you care about the most. However, a break with the family doesn't always turn out the way that you imagine: busy schedules, the dangers of unfamiliar environments and unruly kids can cause your meticulously planned holiday to unravel.
To help ensure that your family holiday runs as smoothly and as safely as possible, try these useful hints and tips.
To cut the cost of your family holiday, booking the break as early as possible is a great idea. If you're flying to your destination of choice, you can book as early as 9 months in advance, when the cheapest seats are still available. If you're travelling by bus or train, you can save a lot by booking just a few months in advance.
As well as saving your bank account, booking early offers several other advantages. With you travel arrangements out of the way you can focus your energy on preparing for your break. The first place to start is with insurance, which is vital if you're going away with children. Kids can be particularly vulnerable to things like food poisoning, so make sure you've got adequate cover in the case that you have to make holiday illness claims.
Of course, prevention is better than the cure, and you can reduce the risk of having to make a claim for holiday accident compensation by doing a bit of research on the area that you're going to.
If you intend to eat out when you're away, try to learn about a few well recommended restaurants. You should also learn about the things you can do there and, just as importantly, the things that are prohibited, as well as any immediate dangers.
You should also check up on the weather conditions of the area and any necessary equipment that you'll need when you're away. For instance, you might need armbands if you're taking your kids to an area by the sea or if you're hotel has a pool. If the weather is particularly warm, then make sure you stock up on sun cream. It's a good idea to buy these things off season, when the prices will be considerably lower than during the holiday period.
It's a good idea to check up on local customs and tourist attractions. However, while it's important to keep children occupied, don't overload the schedule. It could become difficult to stick to which can be disappointing. Moreover, some of the most enjoyable times you can have are those that are unplanned, so leave plenty of free time for you and your children to go and explore the local area.
When you arrive in your holiday destination, it can be a little disorientating, however, it's vital not to forget the basics: keep your children supervised at all times and remember to keep yourself and the kids hydrated, especially in an area with a warm climate.
Taking your kids on holiday can be a bit stressful, but you shouldn't let that put you off from taking a break with them, after all, there's nothing more enjoyable than keeping your little ones safe.
I wanted to share with my readers this interesting story that impressed me the other day.
I was speaking to my Mum the other night on the phone (she lives about 180 miles away from me unfortunately) and she was telling me about her recent eBay antics. She only started using a computer recently and has been doing some eBaying for a short while. She gets my Dad to take the pictures and help post the items for sale.
Recently she brought a designer handbag for only £15 off another eBay seller. She brought the item as she knew that if she didn't sell it that she'd be happy to keep it. Think of her as the Imelda Marcos of handbags!!
She had already owned a similar designer handbag before and had kept the labels. The handbag that she brought looked brand new but didn't have the labels.
She then decided to list it for sale, choosing to do this on the Free listing weekend so she didn't have to pay any listing fees. She set the starting price at £29 thinking at least she would get her money back and profit if it sold. Bidding started and it went for nearly £70. I know its not a massive amount but over 4 times her initial investment with a little bit of her time. Lord Sugar would be proud! Well if he's not I know I am.
My mum has taught me a lot in life and she still keeps on impressing me to this day. In the past she has saved up her eBay profits and used it on the grandchildren which is lovely and we thank her for it. We only hopes she treats herself too!

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski
Starring: Alima Ashton-Sheibu, Andy Arness, Carrie-Anne Moss, Christine Anu, Gloria Foster, Harry Lennix, Hugo Weaving, Jada Pinkett Smith, Keanu Reeves, Lambert Wilson, Laurence Fishburne, Ray Anthony, Monica Bellucci
Genres: Action, Adventure, Sci-fi, Thriller
Suggested corrections Significant dates Titles starting with M
Stupidity: When the Keymaker is closing the door to the room that leads to the Source, he stands in the doorway resulting in the multiple Agent Smiths gunning him down. He could have easily closed the door without standing in the doorway and consequently would have lived.
Suggested correction: Who says the door was bullet proof and the Keymaker couldn't have been shot through the door?
Having just viewed the scene on YouTube to verify, the door is definitely bulletproof, as the bullets only produce dents in the door and there are no visible holes from the other side of the door when it is closed.
The point of the stupidity is that he shouldn't have been in the doorway at all, even if the door wasn't bulletproof, there was no need for him to even stand behind the closed door. He could have pushed the door closed from the side.
It seems to be a heavy door, he simply couldn't close it with just his arm, thus he had to move his body forwards in order to close it. In that brief moment he got shot before the door closed. He could have for example kicked the door shut but he simply didn't think of that at that moment, also not knowing the Smiths were about to fire a volley of bullets at them.

Continuity mistake: During the freeway scenes, the katana Morpheus used as a foot hold to grab the keymaker keeps moving. It was at arm's length from the top when he inserted it; when Morpheus was standing on it, the sword was a whole body length below the top; when Morpheus took the sword out in his fight against the agent, it was back in its original position.

Lock: I'm going to recommend to the Council that you be removed from duty.
Morpheus: That is, of course, your prerogative, Commander.
Lock: If it were up to me, Captain, you wouldn't set foot on a ship for the rest of your life.
Morpheus: Then I am grateful that it is not up to you.

Question: In the final trailer and on the UK DVD menu there is a shot of Neo putting his glasses on and it going to 'Matrix view'. Does anyone know why this shot was cut from the film,it's cool.The background looks like the 'Burly Brawl' location. Could it have been at the beginning of that? Any knowledge of this out there?
Answer: This was made just for the trailers. The same part (without the Matrix code) can be seen when Smith says "suprised to see me?" to which Neo replies "No." and puts on his sunglasses before the Burly Brawl.

In the freeway chase scene when one of the agents jumps onto the hood of the first car then jumps off, the car flips, then a second later as the car is still flipping you can see the gas tank and transmission have been removed.
In the highway chase scene, the license plate on Trinity's car says DA203. If you look in Daniel 2:3, which says "he said to them, 'I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.'" This is possibly making reference to Neo's dream, because he went to the oracle partly to figure out what his dream about Trinity meant. The biblical text is speaking about King Nebuchadnezzar's searching for the meaning of his dream. In Verse 3, the Nebuchadnezzar says, "I have dreamed a dream." In Verse 5, when asked to explain his dream, he says, "The thing is gone from me" (all this is from the classic King James Version). Near the end of the movie as the Nebuchadnezzar explodes as a result of the sentinels' bomb, Morpheus says "I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me."

Jewel Reveals Tour Bus Caught Fire But Nobody Was Hurt
Jewel has revealed that her tour bus caught fire in a hotel parking lot on Saturday but said nobody was hurt in the accident.
Jewel is currently in the middle of a North American tour, playing shows with Blues Traveler. The tour is in support of her 13th studio album, Freewheelin' Woman.
The singer-songwriter made the scary revelation in a video posted to her TikTok page.
"We had a full bus fire. Nobody was hurt, it happened on an off day, in the parking lot of a hotel. The fire department came, everybody is safe, we saved the vintage guitar and guitar amp. All's well that ends well, but how about this bullsh**?" she says.
The video footage shows a back window of the large, red tour bus is cracked, and there was apparently significant internal damage as well.
