The Occupation At The Pacifica Foundation: An Interview With Summer Reese
This is an interview with Summer Reese in the Pacifica National Offices on March 31 2014.
The Occupation At The Pacifica Foundation And Interview With Summer Reese
An occupation has been taking place at the Pacifica Foundation network offices in Berkeley, California. The foundation is the largest alternative broadcast network in the country. Summer Reese is interviewed about the occupation and what she believes the issues are. The interview was done on March 31, 2014. Margy Wilkinson, the present Chair of the Pacifica board was unavailable for an interview.

An occupation has been taking place at the Pacifica Foundation offices in Berkeley challenging the firing of Pacifica Executive Director Summer Reese
Supporters of Margy Wilkinson and the action to fire Pacifica Foundation Executive Director Summer Reese sought to end the occupation.
Thursday Apr 3rd, 2014 10:32 PM
First, thank you Labor Video Project for this beautiful video. Summer Reese is an outstanding witness on her own behalf and is extremely knowledgeable about finances, which her position requires. It is clear from her description of the financial crisis at Pacifica Radio Network that the entire network would disappear from the face of the earth immediately if she filed a breach of contract lawsuit instead of insisting on remaining on the job as Executive Director.
Second, the moment that we have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Complaint for Declaratory, Preliminary and Permanent Injunction relief has been filed in Alameda County Superior Court on April 3, 2014, Action No. HG14720131, entitled Pacifica Directors for Good Governance vs. Pacifica Foundation Radio, Rodrigo Argueta, Lydia Brazon, Jim Brown, Benito Diaz, Adriana Casenave, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Jose Luis Fuentes, Hank Lamb, Tony Norman, Lawrence Reyes, Cerene Roberts and Margy Wilkinson in their official capacities as members of the Board of Directors of Pacifica Foundation Radio. The Plaintiffs, individually are Carolyn Birden, Janet Coleman, Heather Gray, Kim Kaufman, Luzette King, Janet Kobren, Janis Lane-Ewart, Manijeh Saba and Richard Uzzell, all directors of Pacifica Foundation Radio. No hearing has yet been set.
Please note Jose Luis Fuentes is an attorney at the office of Dan Siegel of Siegel and Yee, who was equally malicious in his attack on Pacifica when he sat on the Local Station Board and the Pacifica National Board.
You can see the first page at https://www.facebook.com/notes/tracy-rosenberg/pacifica-directors-for-good-governance-appeals-to-the-courts-to-rein-in-chaos/10201806206538205
You can see the entire Complaint, with Summer Reese's declaration and all exhibits at the Alameda County Superior Court website, which, unlike most if not all other California counties, has all pleadings available for public view online. You go to the court's Domain Web at
You then click on Case Summary to get the Case Summary page where you type the action number: HG14720131.
You then get Register of Actions, the Calendar, all attorneys and other information on the case at
To download the complaint or any other document, click Image (TIFF) next to the document name. For the Complaint, you will see a listing of 119 pages. The Complaint is page 1 through 23, followed by Ms. Reese's declaration of 8 pages, and then all of the exhibits referred to in the Complaint. If it is too tedious for you to print one page at a time, this Complaint will probably be on the 2 websites of United for Community Radio very soon:
The Complaint is a ringing indictment of the criminal behavior of the individual defendants who clearly are part of a government operation to destroy the only nationwide radio network that speak truth to power in capitalist, and increasingly fascist USA. Pacifica has been under government attack since its inception on April 15, 1949 when Democrat Harry Truman was president, and that attack has continued by both Democratic and Republican administrations. It was born at a time of comparative prosperity in this country; today we are experiencing a Great Depression at least as bad as that of the 1930s, thus making it difficult for community radio to survive such an attack. We all must support the Plaintiff in this lawsuit as best we can if we want KPFA and all the other stations in the Pacifica Radio Network to survive.
To lift our spirits as we carry on, the old civil rights song, We Shall Not Be Moved, has new lyrics for this struggle, found at:
We shall not! We shall not be moved!
We shall not! We shall not be moved!
Just like a tree that's standing by the water
We shall not be moved!
Tell Margy Wilkinson that she is not our boss!
Tell Margy Wilkinson that she is not our boss!
Just like a bull… let loose into a china shop
The Network could be lost! (chorus)
Tell Brian E.T. to stop the power coup!
Tell Brian E.T. to stop the power coup!
Just like a bully…in a school yard fight!
This coup just ain't right! (chorus)
Tell Dan Siegel to not destabilize!
Tell Dan Siegel to not destabilize!
Just like a master… makes his dog back off
Dan Siegel, please be wise! (chorus)
Tell Jose Fuentes, calm down and cool your jets!
Tell Jose Fuentes, calm down and cool your jets!
Just like a fool …does things that he regrets
Calm down and cool your jets! (chorus)
This is not the way to "Save KPFA"!
No! This is not the way to "Save KPFA"!
Just like a despot… wants us to obey
This is not the way! (chorus)
This is rash and reckless, and causes disarray!
This is rash and reckless, and causes disarray!
Just like a traitor… knows how to betray!
We will not obey! (chorus)

text: Four years after a major fire devastated downtown Milo, the town is now rebuilding. Community leaders broke ground Thursday on a new building on Main Street.The Heritage Building will replace the Opera House block. In September of 2008, a man in Milo intentionally started a fire to cover up a burglary at a restaurant.The fire destroyed six businesses and left at least nine people homeless.Town Manager David Maynard says he hopes the new construction will help the community overcome a number of challenges in the last few years. "Many of them have been very negative in terms of how people have perceived the community and also how a lot of the community has perceived itself. Because of this project, this is really the start of rebuilding Milo and helping it become the community it needs to be."The building has room for two businesses. The first one to move in is Elaine's Café and Bakery, which already has a spot in town. The other half of the building is still available. Maynard says the $500,000 project was funded with a grant from the Department of Agriculture. The bakery also received a $60,000 grant. Construction is expected to be finished by December. There's also space for a second building.

Mario Aldecoa was attempting to get a nighttime photo showing the shining eyes of 100 alligators at the Everglades Alligator Farm when suddenly one aggressive gator came within inches of taking a bite out of him.
Aldecoa, who works at the farm putting on alligator shows, is an amateur wildlife photographer specializing in reptiles. During a holiday party for employees at the farm, he set up his camera on a tripod a foot from the water and started shooting.
"Gators started getting closer and closer and one of them lunged out and grabbed the camera," he told GrindTV Outdoor in a phone interview. "I responded by grabbing the tripod real quick, but he jerked it out of my hands. Bye bye camera."
He and others came back the next day and waded the pond while using rakes to comb the bottom to see if he could at least get his tripod back. No luck. His $1,300 camera, flash unit and tripod were lost forever.
Or so he thought eight months ago.
Fast forward to last Friday. As the alligators were being feed in front of tourists at the Everglades Alligator Farm, a keeper noticed that one gator came out of the water dragging the camera around its foot.
The keeper managed to retrieve the camera and called Aldecoa.
"So I went to the farm and saw the camera," Aldecoa said. "It beat it up, that's for sure."
Aldecoa had taken six long-exposure photographs before the alligator took the camera. He didn't expect any to survive, especially after seeing condition of the camera and card. The compartment for the waterlogged card was difficult to open and was crusted with sand, as was the card itself. But he cleaned up the card as best he could and popped it in. It worked immediately.
Of the images, only one was decent, the one you see at the top of this post, the one he risked his life capturing.
"It happened so quick," Aldecoa said. "Besides losing the camera, I had a little bit of nervous response, like, wow, that could've been me. If this animal would've grabbed me, it would not have let go. So I was actually in a little bit of shock and grateful that I'm safe, even though my hard-earned money was down the drain."
Aldecoa, 28, has since bought a new camera and is back taking photos, albeit with a more cautious approach.
"The main thing I learned is to not be overconfident with the animals that I'm dealing with," he said. "You can still get close to a certain extent, if you understand their behavior, but you can't let your guard down basically, and that's kind of what I think I did."

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Both Are Impact Players
by Paul on 01/22/06 at 09:21 AM ET

If the NHL wants to market its new ways, simply put Ovechkin's magnificent goal on a non-stop, 24-hour replay loop and then open the box office. That moment of ad-lib genius is destined to define the Washington wizard's career the same way Michael Jordan's sky walk at the NBA Slam Dunk competition did 20 years ago. The scary thing is, Ovechkin appears to have the skills to author these transcendent plays on any given shift, so you'd better pay attention. Ovechkin has stolen a lot of the thunder away from Sidney Crosby, the 18-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins phenom, who was anointed the league's savior before the first puck was dropped back in October. Sure, he's been goaded into some stupid penalties and needs the added strength that physical maturity will bring, but Crosby has certainly delivered as advertised.read on

I've been looking online and in the local gun stores for my first piece and I have it narrowed down. Ultimately I want to get several pistols in difference calibers from difference manufacturers. I want my first gun to be a 9mm because I plan to shoot quite a bit at the range and want to save money on ammo. It will likely be 12 months before I but my second gun. Here's my top 5
1. H&K USP Full Size 9mm/.40 or USP Compact .45 (because full size .45 too long and compact 9 and 40 too short)
2. Beretta 92fs 9mm
3. Sig P226 .357 sig
4. Glock 23
5. Beretta Px4 Storm Full size or compact (not sub-compact) in a 9mm or .40
For my first gun I want a good home defense/range pistol. Eventually I want to get a good carry pistol but I'm not going to carry anytime soon. A .357 magnum revolver is something I want but its down on my list.
My main question is.... Should I get the USP in a 9mm if I'm going to turn around and buy the 9mm Beretta for my second gun? I don't want both my first two guns to be 9mms. I could go with the Beretta as my first gun and get the 9mm for the range like I want and buy the USP in a .40 or .45 as my second gun. I'm just in love with the USP and want to get it first but I'd like my first gun to be a 9mm but I want the USP in a larger caliber.
I had a sig p250 9mm and now i have a sig sp2022 9mm, a USP .40 Full size and a Taurus PT1911. All of which are awsome guns. Literally no problems in either of the Sig's. If I were you I would have no problem getting a sig or USP in 9mm or .40. I went with a 40 just because I got a good deal on it. But if you like to shoot alot and want to save $5 a box go with 9mm otherwise get whatever you get a good deal on and want the most!
Start with the Beretta 92FS. That's what I did, and it is a pleasure to shoot.

Eataly has deployed a new POS solution from a partnership with Epson and Digital Dining. Eataly is unlike most dining venues in that it houses multiple types and sizes of dining and food-centric customer experiences, such as restaurants, coffee bars, produce markets, bakeries, wine shops, butchers, cooking schools, and rooftop beer gardens, along with one-of-a-kind private and group dining options.
Eataly's complicated configuration of housing multiple profit centers under one mega-roof required a sophisticated and flexible software solution, with all systems linking to a central database, along with the capacity to handle high-volume and varying-sized transactions with ease.
Digital Dining's feature-rich POS system, along with Epson's wired and wireless receipt printing solutions, allowed Eataly to streamline processes such as multi-store control, gift cards, loyalty – all while handling up to 5,000 transactions daily. The solution has been installed in both Eataly U.S. locations, which include New York City and Chicago.
The New York City rollout included Digital Dining software as well as 26 Epson TM-T88V receipt printers, 22 Epson TM-U220 kitchen printers, and Epson's Mobilink on-the-go receipt printer. For the Chicago location, the rollout included Digital Dining software as well as 34 Epson TM-T88V receipt printers and 19 Epson TM-U220 kitchen printers.

61. Booze at a beer garden
It's never too early in the season to start thinking about beer gardens: Greenpoint's Berry Park and Astoria's Bohemian Hall are perennial favorites, while in Long Island City, Studio Square provides plenty of affordable options for hops-heads. But great outdoor spaces aren't limited to the outer boroughs: Manhattan's best open-air venues include Hallo Berlin in midtown, Eataly's La Birreria (which sports a retractable roof) in Flatiron and the Standard Biergarten in the Meatpacking District. Peruse all of your options with our list of the 20 best beer gardens in NYC.
62. Walk through a rain forest in Herald Square
For more than 60 years, the Macy's Flower Show has showcased the nation's most renowned floral designers while celebrating the diversity of plant life the world over. This year the event moves to a 150-foot-long tent in Broadway Plaza at Herald Square while the interior of the 34th Street flagship store undergoes major renovation. But not to worry, flora lovers: This does not mean the expo will be any less over-the-top than in the past. This year's theme is Brasil: Gardens in Paradise, so expect rain-forest perennials, Carnival-inspired designs and a ten-foot-tall topiary toucan. Broadway Plaza at 34th St (212-494-4495, macys.com/flowershow). Mar 25-Apr 7; free.
63. Stay trendy and in the black
Italian designer Alberta Ferretti, known for her party-perfect frocks, has created an affordable collection (items are all under $119) for Impulse at Macy's enhanced by bright colors, feminine details and breezy silhouettes. White jersey tops with lace necklines ($69) and snug eyelet-lace pants ($79) are ideal springtime staples. For more hot lines, check out four new designer collaborations. 151 W 34th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-695-4400, macys.com). Available Apr 17.
64. Practice yoga in a tranquil garden
Spend some time getting reacquainted with the green stuff (that's grass and trees, in case you've forgotten) at an outdoor yoga class (Sun 10--11:15am, weather permitting; $20, members $15; begins May 6) in the bucolic grounds of Wave Hill. Each session is taught by Neem Dewji, who is certified in both hatha and therapeutic yoga by the Integral Yoga Institute. Once you've made it through a few sun salutations, wander around the grounds of the 28-acre garden, which was once a private estate. Look for spring wildflowers, such as Virginia bluebells or celandine poppies, or simply take in the views of the Hudson River from the comfort of an Adirondack chair. Independence Ave at 249th St, Bronx (718-549-3200, wavehill.org). Through Mar 14 Tue--Sun 9am--4:30pm; after Mar 15 Tue--Sun 9am--5:30pm. $8, seniors and students $4.
65. Stage a pickup game in Central Park
If you've got energy—but no money—to burn, head to the North Meadow Recreational Center with your crew to pick up a free field-day kit (requires deposit of ID). You'll find Wiffle balls and bats, jump ropes and Frisbees, so you and your brahs can play the ultimate sport. Midpark at 97th St, enter at Central Park West and W 97th St (212-348-4867, centralparknyc.org). Mar: Tue--Sun 10am--5pm, Apr--June: Tue--Fri 10am--6pm; Sat, Sun 10am--5pm.
66. Have a boozy spring break
Fruity drinks! Beer pong! People making out while Top 40 tunes blast! Yes, you can relive your college days—or those of the frat boys at your school—without leaving Manhattan.

When Mavala Shikongo deserted them, the teachers at the boys' school in Goas weren't surprised. How could they be? She was too beautiful, too powerful, and too mysterious for their tiny, remote, and arid world. They knew only one essential fact about their departed colleague: she was a combat veteran of Namibia's brutal war for independence. When Mavala returns to Goas with a baby son, all are awed by her boldness. The teachers try hard, once again, not to fall in love with her. They fail, immediately and miserably, especially the American volunteer, Larry Kaplanski.
About the Author
Peter Orner has received many honors for his fiction, including the Rome Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Goldberg Prize from the Foundation of Jewish Culture, and a 2006 Guggenheim fellowship
Praise For…
"A starvation diary about desire, with as much sexual tension as a bodicebuster? Orner hits the right notes and no others."
-New York Times Book Revew
"Lyrical, comical, full-blown . . . A gifted short-story writer gives us his first booklength work of fiction, and does so with flair and panache."
-Chicago Tribune
"Mavala Shikongo is one of the most deftly rendered and unforgettable characters in recent fiction. The men of Goas fall in love with her and the reader is helpless, too--she is a revolution unto herself. Orner's book is always elegant and always true, and its wistful and even hallucinatory mood haunts the mind for months after finishing it."
"Peter Orner's debut reads like a perfectly formed masterpiece of such idiosyncratic
voice and story that I can't imagine my shelves now without it."

Aug 19 2013
In late July Google quietly made a change to its Unnatural Links Document that has spawned articles claiming that Google has killed PR and it's now Google vs. PR. What's interesting about this update is that it seemingly sprawls outside of the SEO community and hits PR. In the past, the webmaster updates and algorithm changes were big but didn't really influence another marketing tactic or service. Why this "link scheme" update might be a big one for PR is because within this update three highly used tactics in the PR world are getting targeted. Guest Posts, Press Releases and Advertorials (Paid Content).
At its core Google's goal is to provide it's users with the best and most relative content related to their search query. When methods exist to manipulate the search rankings Google tries to put a stop to it. Just as hidden text on a site and directory links worked to enhance rankings, Google is now taking a stand on how links are crafted in some common PR tactics.
Top ranking websites in Google are relevant to the search at hand (on-site optimization) and "popular." Google measures a website's popularity by the quality and quantity of links back to a website. So, if you want to rank in Google you need links built to your website's content. Over time many SEO's and PR Pros develop specific strategies and tactics to specifically grow this back link profile to help enhance a website's ranking. And that's exactly what Google doesn't like.
If you are relying on Guest Posts, Press Releases or Advetorials (Paid Content) as link building strategies Google might have it out for you as "Any links intended to manipulate a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines." Here's some insight into the link scheme update.
My recommendation: This is tough as "large-scale" means absolutely nothing. How large is large-scale? To begin with, if you are using guest posts make sure that the content you are giving away is good quality content. Google and users like good content. Secondly, I wouldn't totally remove keyword-rich anchor text links, I just wouldn't go overboard with the links or use the same anchor text or landing pages in each guest post. The goal here is to keep the guest posts looking as natural as possible and 1-2 links in an article is seemingly natural. However, if you are worried you could always keep the links and avoid using keyword-rich anchor text… or give links the no-follow attribute.
For example:
There are many wedding rings on the market. If you want to have a wedding, you will have to pick the best ring. You will also need to buy flowers and a wedding dress."
My recommendation: Well, the example provide from Google is very link heavy and spammy, if that's how you've been crafting your releases its time for a different approach. If you want to keep all of those links you can but make sure the links utilize the no-follow attribute. Personally I'd dial back the amount of links in the release as well. We have no idea how strict Google will stay with this but having a keyword rich anchor text link in a release will now be a roll of the dice. Frank Strong from Sword and the Script has a few good recommendations for the new press release.
My recommendation: Be honest and disclose that this is a paid piece of content and make sure that links are not followed as nobody likes to be deceived. However how does Google know that the content has been purchased? I guess you can be sneaky but if Google finds out you might get penalized.
Within the code of a hyperlink you have the ability to tell Google not to follow the link. This means that the search engine bot will not follow the link therefore not influencing ranking for that page or term. Users can still click the link and seamlessly be able to view content.
SEO's saw some big changes with the Panda and Penguin algorithm changes and now some PR tactics are getting pulled into the Google mix. Really what this all boils down to is excellent and engaging content. If you have great content and you're using PR to promote the content Google wants to make sure that you aren't adversely influencing their rankings with the links in your promotions. If you want to drive traffic with the above tactics and you want to be safe, make sure the no-follow attribute is used on links. I also agree with Jason Kintzler says and these Google updates might just be a good thing.

Epic Personal Branding: 6 Tips
Are You EPIC? 6 Epic Personal Branding Tips
YOU are a brand. Congratulations. Move two steps forward. You are now standing ahead of some, but your row is crowded. Others realize SELF = BRAND too. This post shares 6 "could tell you, but would have to kill you" EPIC Personal Branding Secrets. At least one of them did try hard to kill me.
Epic Personal Branding #1:
Big Hairy Audacious Goals
My generation, I graduated from Vassar College in 1980, believed in the deferred dream. We traded working for the MAN for "security". We would live dreams later.
A funny thing happened on the way to the circus. Everything changed. Even the most powerful "MAN" (company, brand, business vertical, skill set) wasn't secure. Security, it turns out, was a myth.
The fast, dramatic and horrify technical tsunami swept my generation's bet from the table impacting every "next generation" too. "The Man" peddled so hard to catch up major things had to be thrown off his balloon.
Things that got tossed:
- Training Programs.
- Hiring the inexperienced or the uninformed.
- Connections not tied to immediate Return On Investment.
- Ethics (lol).
How can you train yourself? CATCH-22. The inexperience needs experience and is denied it because they have no experience. Want to beat CATCH-22?
Create your Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) NOW!
Begin the minute you stop reading. Heed the advice of Dr. Wayne Dyer – you already have EVERYTHING You Need. Go, Go, Go.
You could come work for our new startup, CrowdFunde, and we would run you ragged for a year. You would learn a lot too, but nothing compares to throwing yourself into the deep end of the pool. Tossing in all you are and all you have takes a special courage.
Achieve your BHAG now!
Epic Personal Branding #2:
Video and Pictures
We are entering a new time, a highly VISUAL time. When you bite off more than you can chew to achieve an impossible BHAG take pictures, use Instragram filters, share on Facebook, GPlus and Twitter. Shoot video. Share on YouTube and use BrightCove to host some of your videos (and read why hosting some of your videos is important).
Long time ago I wrote a piece about how PROCESS is product. COPE is Create Once Publish Everywhere. Learn the "native language" of Facebook (pictures and questions), Twitter (radio of the web) and GPlus (conversations and long form content). Video Blog, picture blog and toss in power Q&A blogging (500 words or less, you need LOTS of content leave the long form to old dogs like me lol).
Share, Share and Share.
Epic Personal Branding #3:
Think TEAM
Marketing is tribe building. If your BHAG, like mine, is riding a bicycle across America make it BIGGER by including others. I rode for the Duke Cancer Institute where I've been treated. I met up with riders, riders whose lives have been touched or smashed to bits by cancer. What do you get for $40K and 60 days of riding? An amazing adventure and personal brand distinction.
Everything requires TEAMS. More often than not I'm trying to create SOMETHING of significant value from nothing. Learn to create fire by rubbing two sticks together. Your personal brand will be sought after, discussed and the headhunters will call like you are the GOLD you are.
Epic Personal Branding #4:
Use Special Social Weapons
Imagine you in an interview. The interviewer asks about your BHAG. You share how you used G+'s Hangouts On Air to create live interviews once a week, curated content from experts with Scoop.it (my favorite content curation tool) and your Twitter following is now in the thousands with relevant followers who don't churn.
The next candidate preferred waiting for their employer to train them, to pay for training. As a result your brand's competition knows their employer's proprietary CMS (Content Management System) and little else.
I've been the hiring manager in this interview. The BHAG disruptor gets the offer every time and at the top of the salary scale. Oh, and about half the time the offer is left since the candidate is so sought after we may have to get into a bidding war. Think personal branding matters now?
Epic Personal Branding #5:
All things being equal, which they never are, We hire the person who has been DESTROYED by failure over and over. Failure happens. When you KEEP GOING you create brand distinction. Many (most) will fall off, give up, go home.
Internet marketing is TOUGH.
If you aren't failing 80% of the time you aren't trying hard enough. If you don't FAIL enough you leave money on the table. Money never stays on a web marketing table long. Competitors are always ready to take advantage of mistakes.
Have your 3 biggest failure stories ready for your next interview. Don't patronize or try and spin your failure forward. Failure should be nasty, awful and confidence crushing. Share your blog post about them.
See the importance of "process as product" now?
Blog your ups and downs and you have content that adds to anything. I pull a story from 2009 about Process Is Product and readers trust me more.
Note there are no social shares of my Process Is Product post. An astute interviewer would certainly ask why no shares. I have a painful story about creating a blogger blog in 2007 and the difficulty of moving a "temporary" and "experimental" blog that received almost half a million page views and over 100 unique visitors. BTW, always be SPECIFIC even when using analogies. Being specific creates trust.
Epic Personal Branding #6:
Give Your Skills Away FREE
By riding a bicycle across America I accomplished a 25 year BHAG. Every Saturday I invite SMBs to bring Internet marketing questions to lunch. One to five people come have lunch, ask marketing questions and the people at our "Free Web Consulting" lunch attempt to help each other understand the mystery wrapped in an enigma that is our chosen profession.
I know an army of great Internet marketers.
We've been asked more than 500 questions during a year of "Free Web Consulting Saturdays". We haven't been stumped yet.
You might think, "I'm too new to give anything away, I don't know anything". Nonsense, give your time. Go build a house with Habitat or work with the Red Cross.
Your story, your brand, becomes more valuable and fascinating by DOING STUFF even when you FAIL miserably. Remember I hire the man or woman who has failed, failed and failed some more. Why? Because they are humble, know how to work hard and don't take things for granted.
Together we can and will WIN!
Give me a Magnificent Seven who have failed, failed and failed and we can rule the world :). M
Epic / Not Epic
Here are some thoughts on things that used to be EPIC and aren't anymore and new ideas that jumped into the Epic category (please feel free to ad ideas to this list and I will curate in):

AUDIO: Joe Theismann Fired Up About Incognito, Freeman
Photo Credit: Getty Images
By Dory LeBlanc
Follow @DoryLeBlanc
Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann joined Ron and Ian this morning and had a very strong opinion on the Richie Incognito alleged bullying situation with second-year Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin, which the NFLPA insisted should receive a "fair investigation for all involved".
Theismann told WDAE he was disgusted when he initially heard the voicemails Incognito left for Martin.
"It's sick. It's sickening and to me, it's despicable," Theismann said. "What has scared me for a while is there is one word that I think has to apply in the workplace, whether it's in sports or whether it's in business, and that's respect. This (situation) is so disrespectful in so many ways, you just shake your head and can't believe it was said."
Theismann goes on to talk about the culture of the NFL locker room and how the league, and society in general, has evolved as far as the treatment of players among each other.
The former Redskins QB and Monday Night Football broadcaster also gave his opinion on what went wrong with Josh Freeman and if the Bucs' 2009 first round draft pick will be successful in the NFL again.
"I thought when Josh was in Tampa that he had a chance," Theismann said. "I'll say this: I'm not sure whether Coach Schiano wanted Josh Freeman on his football team. I know (former Washington head coach) Joe Gibbs tried to get rid of me in 1981 when he took over the football team and we were 0-5. I was going to be traded to the Detroit Lions. Thank heavens for Eric Hipple, or else I probably would have been a Detroit Lion.
"But it's my job as a player to make myself not expendable to a new coach. New brooms sweep clean; and they want their guys in. So you have to go above and beyond and prove to the coach that you, more than any other player, that you deserve to be the quarterback of that football team. That you deserve to be the leader of that football team.
"Missing a photo session may seem like a simple thing, but it sends a tremendous message out to everybody else that you don't care. And if you don't care, they don't want you there to lead."

I've got a growing collection of jazz vinyl, around 70+ albums. Heres the problem- I'm getting more and more frustrated with the fact that far too high a percentage (in my opinon) of the jazz vinyl I buy, new or old, has some kind of sonic flaw, usually distortion on the horns. I'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of the jazz LPs have distortion that drives me nuts. I don't have this problem with anywhere near as many pop/ rock LPs-maybe 10% or less of those, and I've got close to 200 pop/rock/etc. LPs.
My turntable and cartridge is nothing great- a Music Hall MMF 2.2 and an Ortofon 2m red. I have it set up with a Geodisc and the Analogue Productions test LP I use shows no significant flaws in the setup. I have fooled around with VTA, VTF, Azimuth, and antiskate.
During a test on some unimportant LPs, one thing I did notice is that I lost most of this distrortion when I skewed the VTA (or is it azimuth?) of the arm to the point where the needle was visually angled in toward the center of the turntable. However, I changed this knowing that it cant be good for the records.
What am I doing wrong? LP is supposed to be better than CD right? Not in my current setup...
Follow Ups:
I have several thousand jazz lps, from all time periods, used and new,mostly used, but newer reissues like the wonderful Music Matters, Analoque Productions and good ole OJC, among others. You should not have an issue with the kind of distortion you describe if your tonearm and cartridge are compatible. I had a similar issue with a Sumiko MMT tonearm a few years back, it drove me crazy!!!I never figured it out but got rid of the table an AR es and tonearm.I kept the ZYX cartridge which works great on my Nottingham Interspace with REGA RB600 arm.
I have heard the MMF 2.2 at a local dealer and it sounded sweet and smooth. It came with a Rega Elys cartridge I think. First, bring your annoying lps to a friends and check them out on another rig . My hypothesis is a bad tonearm /cartridge combo. Cheers,Chet
"Distortion on the horns"...sounds like groove wear, except that wouldn't/shouldn't be happening on new vinyl. It could also be distortion due to mistracking b/c of set-up problems. I've got 600+ jazz albums, the vast majority used, and the vast majority are pleasing to listen to, and I'm a fairly picky listener.
I've also heard an MH 2.2, my son had one years ago, and I have a 2M Red. I thought the 'table was a pleasant entry level table that did a decent enough job of capturing the analogue/vinyl majic, and my only complaint about the 2M Red is a tendency to sound a bit grainy & edgy, but no real complaints about distortion. I'd try revisiting set-up with the help of vinyl enthusiast friend if handy.
Some ideas:
1. I gave up on sight-line type protractors b/c I didn't feel certain I was dead-on accurate lining it up sight-line with tonearm pivot pillar. I prefer the arc type protractor where you can get stylus overhang dead-on by using the arc, then adjust cart alignment using null pt grids. You can print one free using Conrad Hoffman's Cartridge Alignment Template Generator . Just plug in your spindle to pivot distance (212mm on your 2.2) and select IEC for inner/outer groove metrics. The default alignment on the CH template is Lofgren A (Baerwald), same as your geodisc.
2. You said you fooled with VTF, but what setting are you using? My 2m Red liked the middle, 1.8g, of mfr recommeded range 1.6-2.0g. I'd double check your tonearm set up. Remove antiskate weight/fishing line, then back off counter weight until tonearm floats freely parallel to platter, reset scale to zero, and adjust VTF to 18. (Online manual says no decimal place is on your scale, so 18 = 1.8g). Replace antiskate weight.
3. VTA should be OK enough when stylus is lowered on to record and the tonearm is parallel to record surface.
4. Azimuth should be OK if while playing a record and facing the front of the cart the stylus makes a straight line with its reflection on the record surface, not listing left or right.
5. Make sure TT is level.
I hope this helps.

..."one thing I did notice is that I lost most of this distrortion when I skewed the VTA (or is it azimuth?) of the arm to the point where the needle was visually angled in toward the center of the turntable"...
It sounds to me like this was azimuth you were fiddling with, not VTA. Azimuth is the term used to describe the angle of the cantilever/stylus with respect to the LP surface, when the cartridge is viewed "on end", or from the front looking back down the length of the tonearm. It would be good for you to learn the meaning of these different terms. Azimuth affects mainly crosstalk, the amount of the R channel signal that appears in the L channel and vice-versa. So I strongly doubt that your extreme adjustment of azimuth was a good way to cure your problem, and you did the right thing when you abandoned that approach.
I disagree that the distortion you describe should be common to such a large fraction of your jazz LPs. I think, as someone else remarked, you are merely experiencing the wider dynamics of the better jazz LPs vs rock LPs, which is eliciting the distortion. So there should be a way to improve your results dramatically without discarding any LPs (this is assuming that your LPs have not been trashed already by previous owners, if you bought a lot of used ones). You don't specify, but I gather that your tonearm came with your turntable. Perhaps you should first find out whether it is considered to be a good match for your cartridge, in terms of its effective mass in relation to the compliance of the Ortofon. If so, then I would advise you to use the following start points: (1) set azimuth to 90 degrees; (2) set the VTA (height of the arm pillar in relation to the LP surface) such that the headshell is parallel to the LP surface. These are reasonable starting points. Then set VTF in accordance with the recommendations of Ortofon. If you still have distortion then raise VTF toward the upper limit specified by Ortofon. Sometimes even a tiny fraction of a gram difference can eliminate the kind of distortion you describe, which I suspect is due to mistracking. If adjusting VTF upwards a tad does not help at all, then try adjusting VTA. Raising the arm pillar will tend to increase high frequencies at the expense of lows, and vice-versa.
unlike jazz, which was mostly recorded with wider dynamic range. How did you skew VTA on the tonearm of a 2.2, "to the point where the needle was visually angled in toward the center of the turntable". That sounds like you have really screwed up the cartridge alignment. If the stylus is really sideways, it may help this sibilance because sideways, the stylus is probably more like a ball point pen than a proper sylus, and it is not getting down in the groove.
Hey, that sounds like a 103r stylus.
Three possibilities:
1) Bad set-up
2) Bad software
3) Duff turntable/arm/cartridge
One thing's for sure: you should not experience what you describe. As suggested by another poster, try to bring a friend who knows about turntables.
I would vote for 1) or 3) considering what you describe, I don't know how you could get 70 vinyls, even run-of-the-mill ones, to distort. Maybe your cartridge is dead?
By the way neither would VTA or Azimuth influence where the cantilever points. That would be overhang. But this should be set-up with the Geodisk and not fiddled with.

Most responders seem to be assuming that the problem is your set up, yet you say that when you played test records, everything came out fine. There are some great jazz records out there, such as Blue Notes and Verve, and Pablo. However, there are also alot of really crappy jazz records out there. A great many recording engineers have no clue what they are doing. There are a great many albums out there where the mikes are far too close to the instruments, especially the brass instruments, as you mentioned. Don't automatically assume there is something wrong with your setup - if I had a dollar for every audiophile that assumed there was something wrong with his setup when all he had was a really badly done recording....
Yes, and boy do you notice it more on acoustic recordings.
...are more sensitive than most.
There are plenty of Blue Notes with distortion on the recording. Wayne Shorter's Juju, Jackie McLean's Destination Out and other mid 60s records, etc. All of those have a little sizzly distortion on the sax at points. There are plenty of Blue Notes that don't, too. I don't know what the difference is. Maybe some artists actually liked the distortion, thought it sounded hot or something?
Either way, yeah. I'm not totally convinced the OP's problem isn't actually on the tape. One way I check, if I have a question like this about an album I'm unfamiliar with, is to find a way to listen to it online. Yes, that means downloading torrents, and if the question of legality bothers you, it might not be for you. But when it comes to this usage at least, my conscience is clear. Or you can go on ebay or amazon and find cheap copies of the CDs of a few of these albums.
It also helps to keep a used record that you KNOW someone else damaged with a worn out stylus or poor setup, so you can throw it on in a situation like this and remind yourself of the difference in sound between distortion that's just recorded that way and groove damage. In my experience, it's extremely easy to find a copy of Led Zeppelin 4 with this kind of damage. By the time you get to the end of Stairway on a lot of copies, you'll just want to rip the record off the platter and do terrible things to it.
Anyway, good luck to the OP. These things can be extremely frustrating to figure out.
Passive-aggressive much?
Most of the responses here seem pretty valid to me and offer a rational way of figuring out what the root cause is. Just saying there are crappy records out their is a pretty pat and weak answer with a typical, yet unecessary, stab at "audiophiles". I can think of a lot more labels that put out well recorded albums than just the three mentioned. With so many factors to consider, the sensible thing to do is due diligence. What's the other choice? Trash a bunch of LP's that may have nothing wrong with them? There's a solution. (roll eyes)
Hi WOStantonCS100 - certainly there was no intent to be passive-aggresive in my post, frankly I fail to see how you read it that way. I do not agree that it is a contentious statement. It is certainly not name-calling - aren't we all audiophiles on this site???
The intent of the statement was in fact to be humorous, and obviously you didn't find it so. Perhaps the attempt at humor was lame. There's a reason I'm a musician and not a writer, as I like to say. Also, my post did not say that any of the posts with technical suggestions were wrong (there were some great suggestions for checking, as you pointed out), I was merely pointing out that since the OP has already run test records and everything checked out fine, this would seem to argue for a bad recording, then. There are indeed many folks out there who are all too ready to find fault with their equipment where none exists, as many equipment makers would attest. I am not attacking these folks, I am trying to help.
Your post, on the other hand... A little aggressive.

"...if I had a dollar for every audiophile that assumed... ..." = contentious
C. No flames, personal attacks or contentious off-topic comments: The idea is to make this a pleasant environment to discuss audio, not a schoolyard, or name-calling and rock-throwing festival.
Dance around that one all you want; but, the statement was unnecessary and contentious. And, yes, it was met head on. Speak to people like you would speak to them IN PERSON and most forum head-butting goes away, quickly.
Your post... ...a little worthless. :-)
Maybe I misinterpreted your post. If so, my apologies.
Perhaps it was all a misunderstanding... shake hands... bow to your neighbor... moving on. :)
I don't think there was any aggression in his answer. Plus, he may be right.
For my first foray into vinyl years ago, I had patiently collected 70ish records. I had no experience whatsoever. I played them and at worst they sounded like crap, at best no better than a bad CD. I returned the turntable thinking it wasn't good enough.
There IS a lot of mediocre software out there, in fact, most of what's out there is mediocre and it's a possibility the OP should consider.
Then I learnt to discriminate between labels, pressing, etc, etc... and all is fine now. But I can safely say that picking 100 random LPs on the market today and playing them even on a good TT might not convince everyone of the superiority of analogue.

YOUR posts are not passive-aggressive. :-) And, I agree with you on the possibilities. The only way to know for sure is to take the time to find out, do the tests.
I wouldn't give up on your cartridge before you get the stylus checked out under a microscope. Your cart/stylus can't detect genres; so, unless all your jazz records are toast, they aren't the issue. Good advice has all ready been given, especially about getting a second opinion (a friend with a table/cart combo equally as good or better than the one you have, to compare/contrast). Good luck!!
so it may be your setup, or perhaps the recordings themselves, I listen to a good deal of Blue Notes and Verves, and find them to be among the best sounding records with a good lack of distortion...
...for some reason or other. Bad cartridge or incompatibility could be the cause.
Guys who use a different turntable/cartridge do not have this problem. I would start by replacing the Ortofon with something completely different, and see if the problem goes away.
I had an Ortofon 2M red. I gave it away because I could not tame the sibilance. Maybe you got a duff cartridge.
come to your use and double-check your cartridge set up. He or she might have a different set of vinyl set-up tools - such as the cart alignment disc included with the Hi-Fi News Test LP. I found this alignment tool easy to use.
A bonus would be if same friend could bring over a second turntable and compare the sound of the same LP on both decks - with nothing else changed. (Bonus would be a full-blown vinyl session would likely result!)
I have been blown away more than once when a friend corrected a mistake in alignment.
The other possibility is that you have been buying LPs with pressing defects or the same type of groove wear.

Report on unaccounted-for revenue rejected
Report on unaccounted-for revenue rejected
JALALABAD (PAN): The customs department head in eastern Nangarhar province on Tuesday rejected the claim that hundreds of millions of afghanis had not been accounted for at the Torkham customs office.
In an exclusive interview with Pajhwok Afghan News, Khaleequllah spurned a report of the High Office for Oversight and Anticorruption (HOOAC) that 839 million afghanis had been missing and traders brought in commercial goods through the Torkham border crossing without paying taxes.
On Monday, the anti-corruption body head, Azizullah Ludin, told reporters in Kabul that an investigation had been launched into the possible misappropriation of more than three billion afghanis at Torkham and Hairatan ports.
"According to our investigation, 838 million afghanis have been unaccounted for at the Torkham customs office over the past two years," Ludin said.
But Khaleequllah, rejecting the allegation as baseless, said only a few hundred vehicles had entered the country through the border crossing without paying taxes. He added a delegation of ministers had visited them to investigate the claims that 23,000 vehicles had not paid taxes.
After the investigation, the HOOAC in its second report said 1,400 vehicles had entered the country without paying the customs duty, according to Khaleequllah, who also disputed the second document and put the number of vehicles at 420 last year. Cases against the traders involved had been registered and they would be fined, he promised.

Kilmarnock 1-3 Celtic
- From the section Football
Celtic produced a classy second-half display to reinforce manager Neil Lennon's assertion their focus would now be the Scottish Premier League after their Champions League progress.
Adam Matthews' run and cut-back set up Scott Brown for Celtic's opener.
Kilmarnock's Paul Heffernan had a great chance blocked after the restart.
But Joe Ledley slid in at the back post to convert a Brown pass and Georgios Samaras headed a third before Cillian Sheridan scored a late goal for Killie.
Despite Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels' warning that he would defy a Scottish Football Association ban and play his captain, there was no sign of defender Manuel Pascali as he served the second of his two-game suspension.
Celtic had their skipper in action, as Brown continued to postpone hip surgery.
However, they were without two of their heroes from their midweek Champions League win over Spartak Moscow as Kris Commons was ruled out with a badly-bruised dead leg and Samaras started on the bench.
Celtic took the lead with a well-worked goal down the right wing after 27 minutes, Brown side-footing Adam Matthews' cut-back into the net after the Welshman's foray forward had been rewarded by Gary Hooper's clever pass.
Cillian Sheridan caused Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster a minor flutter when he arrowed a left-foot shot over the bar from 22 yards and there was further consternation for the visitors when Liam Kelly's curling shot drifted a fraction wide.
Shiels' half-time team talk spurred Kilmarnock into an immediate attack at the restart.
Kelly advanced unchallenged down the left wing and swung in a delightful ball for Heffernan, who brought it down and took an extra touch before slamming a shot at goal that Charlie Mulgrew blocked brilliantly.
Within seconds, Matthews was off and running down the right flank and, in a similar move to the opening goal, he cut the ball back for Hooper who thundered a shot that Cammy Bell saved sharply to his left.
Black-shirted Celtic continued in this mode and might have been further ahead had the home defence not been so brave or well-organised.
Centre-half Michael Nelson was a key figure in that regard and he smothered a fierce effort by Nouinoui Lassad after Joe Ledley had fed Emilio Izaguirre who crossed into the box.
Killie had Gary Harkins and Heffernan offering moments of brightness but with 25 minutes to go Celtic scored their second.
Victor Wanyama slid a ball to Brown inside the box and his low cross was converted by the Welsh midfielder Ledley.
As Celtic turned on the style, Wanyama had a low shot saved by Bell but there was further pain for the home fans when Matthews created Celtic's third.
This time it was Brown who sent him scurrying down the right and his lofted cross to the back post was headed in off the crossbar by substitute Samaras for his seventh goal of the season.
With two minutes to go Efe Ambrose headed wide of the target when he really ought to have converted Mulgrew's curling free-kick.
Sheridan volleyed Jeroen Tesselaar's cross past Forster for a late consolation but the overall impression is of a Celtic side with renewed appetite for domestic competition now they have emerged from Champions League Group G.

A Hot Summer
This has been one of those "hot" summers where the temperature seems to want to hover in the 95 to 100 degree range. I don't deal well with "hot." I'd much prefer for it to be cooler where I can add layers of clothing or blankets, if necessary. About the only thing "hot" weather accomplishes for me is a sunburn. I can remember short periods of time where we've had hot weather in recent years. For example, about 10 or 11 years ago, our choir took a trip to New Orleans around Labor Day weekend. The temperature was 100 or above for our entire trip and had been for a few days. The last time I really remember these extended periods of very hot temperatures was back in the late 1970s when I was in high school. I remember that the temperature was above 90 for almost the entire month of June. One reason I remember it so well was that I was working at our church camp that entire month as a counselor and canteen manager. The heat was awful. Those of us on staff would go for swims at night after the kids were in bed. Then we'd raid the kitchen before we went to bed. Those were some fun times with a lot of special memories!

Biofuels may be green but look increasingly bloody in Columbia, where according to the Guardian on line…
Armed groups in Colombia are driving peasants off their land to make way for plantations of palm oil, a biofuel that is being promoted as an environmentally friendly source of energy.
Farmers who have been forced off their land at gunpoint say that in many cases their banana groves and cattle grazing fields were turned into palm oil plantations. Luis Hernandez (not his real name) fled his 170-hectare plot outside the town of Mutata in Antioquia province nine years ago after his father-in-law and several neighbours were gunned down. When he and other survivors were able to return recently, they found the land was in the hands of a local palm producer.
There has been considerable political instability in Columbia for many years and given that many of the groups have been funding themselves with coca plantations which are illegal. This is a chance for them to become legit (in the language of South London), and turn their dirty money into freshly laundered loot.

Re: Engine oil change
AMSOIL response....Do 2011+ GMvehicle owners have to use a dexos-licensed product?"
No. You can use any product that meets dexos specifications. They are not required to use a GM-licensed product. GM has chosen to grant licenses only to companies that pay them a substantial fee. Some oil companies have chosen to make aproduct that meets the same standards as a licensed product without adding an unnecessary administrative cost to the product that consumers would be forced to pay. So long as the oil manufacturer warrants that the motor oil meets dexos specifications, it's acceptable to use it. AMSOIL warrants its products meet the dexos specifications.
The FTC recently issued a consumer alert to remind consumers that the automaker or dealer must prove a given product caused the need for repairs rather than denying warranty coverage on the basis of the product simply being used.
It is also worth noting that GM itself has acknowledged alternative engine oils may be used. Owner's manuals for 2011+GM trucks state:
"This vehicle was filled at the factory with dexos‐approved engine oil. Notice: Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification or an equivalent engine oil of the appropriate viscositygrade. Engine oils approved to the dexos specification will show the dexos symbol on the container. Failure to use the recommended engine oil or equivalent can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are unsure whether the oil is approved to the dexos specification, ask your service provider.
Use of Substitute Engine Oils if dexos is unavailable: In the event that dexos‐approved engine oil is not available at an oil changeor for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil displaying the API Starburst symbol and of SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade."
AMSOIL AZO, ASL, XLF, OEF all meet the dexos specification but AMSOIL has chosen NOT to pay GM to license them. It also worth noting that AMSOIL is not the only oil company who has chosen not to license dexos oils, Valvoline and Castrol also do not.

I can't imagine any oil makes that much difference. I used to run very specific oil now its just quality changed as per GM recommendation intervals. 142k on my big block suggests that's adequate.

I've used Royal Purple for years and never had any issues with any of my cars or truck. Now that I don't do the oil change in my CTS, I have the dealer use their Dexos oil. If I should go back to doing it myself again, I will use RP.

Re: Engine oil change
why do Royal Purple and AMSOIL cost so much yet other Dexos oils cost so little?
yet RP and AMSOIL complain about the licensing fee for Dexos...
