Cranberry Marshes, Cultural Fair and Mothers' Day

The Winter Olympics had a couple of big moments on the snow and ice Wednesday, but something just as momentous happened on the nation's TV screens: NBC's Olympics coverage became the first program in nearly six years to beat "American Idol" head-to-head in the ratings.
The Olympics averaged 29.4 million viewers for its prime-time block (8-11:17 p.m. ET/PT) Wednesday, an improvement of better than 60 percent over the first Wednesday of the 2006 Winter Olympics (17.9 million). The ratings were driven by coverage of two of the American team's biggest stars, Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White, winning gold medals.
At 9 o'clock, the Olympics drew 30.1 million viewers to 18.4 million for "American Idol," marking the first time since spring 2004 that "Idol" has had a smaller audience than a time-slot rival. The adults 18-49 race was a bit closer (9.0 for NBC to 6.9 for FOX), but the Olympics still scored a decisive win.
By comparison, on the comparable night in 2006, "Idol" drew 28.9 million viewers to just 14.3 million for the Winter Olympics and nearly tripled NBC's 18-49 rating (12.0 to 4.1).
The last time "Idol" was beaten in the 18-49 demo was May 17, 2004 (when a special on that season's final three lost to "Fear Factor"). In viewers and household ratings, it's the first "Idol" loss since April 15, 2004, when an episode of "Survivor: All-Stars" beat it across the board (a presidential news conference that week pushed the "Idol" results to a Thursday night).
"Idol" revealed the remainder of its top 24 for the season on Wednesday. When next week's live performance and results shows begin, it will square off against the Olympic women's figure skating competition — typically one of the most-watched events of the games — on Tuesday and Thursday.

Democrats are starting to remind me of a cartoon character, brought to life by the late Jack Lemmon in the Blake Edwards' comedy, The Great Race. Lemmon plays the archetype villain, Professor Fate, complete with black cape, stove top hat, and curling black mustache. He's the kind of character who would utter, "Curses, foiled again."
In their own, classy, endearing manner, liberals are doing the same thing when it comes to the nomination of Sarah Palin for Vice President, mimicking the way they behaved and continue to behave when it comes to Clarence Thomas.
Curses, foiled again!
Barack Obama did not have the courage nor the class to ask Hillary Clinton to be his running mate. John McCain not only stole Barack Obama's show but his thunder on Friday when he chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be the first female Vice President of the United States. Foiled, his liberal supporters are furious. Furious liberals are a thing of consequence, beauty, and humor. Their lives are made up of such inconsequential contradictions that they cannot tolerate being exposed or anyone who might be part of that expose.
I've been known to write that John McCain is the worst nightmare of certain conservatives. If he is just that, then Sarah Palin is the thing of night terrors for liberals, especially women. She is proof you can have it all, if you wish. It's a strange thing. You would think conservatives would be the ones upset with her. She works outside the home. She splits child-raising with her husband. She has a pregnant teenage daughter. These are all good liberal soap-box topics.
If you check the comments on my previous Blogcritics articles about Sarah Palin, it is amusing. Liberals are showing just how absolutely insane they can be when their bluff is called. Now that Sarah Palin is doing all the right things (in the Democratic playbook, previous edition) they have changed the rules in the middle of the game. They are backing down on the experience thing. Their bluff has been called on the Daily Kos Creepiness about Tig belonging to Bristol.
Sarah Palin should stay home and take care of her kids. Sally Quinn doesn't think she's up to it. But then, if Sarah Palin were a liberal, I gather she would be a paragon. Strange, but the very reasons Quinn uses to put Sarah Palin down and degrade her position were sacrosanct until….ummm…last Friday when the GOP beat the Democrats to the draw and have put a working mom in a position where she could end up being POTUS.
I thought liberals were the ones who said women can have it all. Evidently that's just if the woman is a liberal, right?
While we are on the subject, why was it okay for Joe Biden to remain in the remain in the Senate after losing his wife in that tragic auto accident? If we are to apply the New Liberal Palin Rules then Joe Biden should have stayed home to care for his motherless sons. I've not listened to Rush Limbaugh in months. This morning I just happened to turn the radio on for a few minutes while running errands. His comments on Joe Biden hit the spot. It was perfectly acceptable, laudable for Joe Biden to hold a national office and commute back and forth to Deleware to raise his boys. Do you smell the vile odor of a double standard here?
Curses! Foiled again!
Sarah Palin is not well educated. She ONLY has a degree in journalism. Evidently a person needs a master's in what-ever and preferably a law degree to be VP. I would say be an attorney but from what I've heard, Barack Obama's never "practiced" law a day in his life. He has never tried a case. But he is an attorney and has an advanced degree and has probably stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. He want to Harvard and we all know people who go to Harvard are more important and better educated than some Podunk university in the unwashed outback of Idaho.
Heck, I'm surprised the woman even knows enough to brush her teeth and put on deodorant. Wait a minute – Alaska is part of that unwashed outback of the Wild West. She probably doesn't even wear deodorant, right? She represents the unwashed masses of the middle class, or middle America at its very worst – right? White, female, and uneducated! Count me in, will you.
The most educated person I've ever encountered was a master carpenter (and a good Republican) from South Carolina, in the rural upstate of Oconee County. Elbert Adams never went beyond the 2nd grade, and lived in an old house that was without indoor plumbing . He had a few teeth. He was tall, thin, and wore bib over-alls, looking rather like an adult version of Dennis the Menace. He could recite Kipling, Byron, Shakespeare and the rest of the masters of poetry. He could explain the differences in modern English and Shakespearean Middle English. He could explain geopolitics, cross referencing current events with the works of Pultarch, Josephus, or other ancient historians. Mr. Adams knew everything going on in the world, and had an opinion about it – but never finished the 2nd grade.
Some of the most ignorant, ill-informed people I've ever known in my life have advanced degrees. Once upon a time we lived in a world where the measure of a "man's" education was not taken in degrees but in how well read he/she was. Their accomplishments in life were not as important as character, honor and patriotism. Mr./Ms Average Citizen were expected to be knowledgable, vote, and be responsible citizens. This included stepping into public office be it local, state, or national if necessary. It was not a career. It was Patriotism.
Curses! Foiled again!
Sarah Palin is damning her Downs Syndrome child, Tig, by not breast feeding him. You read the previous sentence correctly, I kid you not. Someone on one of my Blogcritics articles posted that because Palin is not staying home to breast feed Tig, she is harming his mental development by a good 10 points in the IQ. Can you believe it! (FYI – Palin takes her baby to work and breasts feeds him!)
All of this tells me we are in the middle of the much awaited liberal breakdown. It has been a long-time coming and they've earned every minute of it. During this crack-up we're starting to see some of that liberal veneer start to warp a little. Terminal crevasses are beginning to appear. At first I was disgusted and repelled by their ludicrous behavior, but the more I think about it and the wackier it becomes I'm starting to laugh a them.
They are becoming cartoons, buffoons, caricatures of all those lovely "liberal" values of tolerance, inclusiveness, and live and let live attitudes they allegedly claim to possess. I'm beginning to think if Sarah Palin were a lesbian in a lesbian relationship they would denounce the gay lifestyle! If Sarah Palin suddenly came out of the closet and admitted she was the grand pubah of Planned Parenthood, our erstwhile liberals would suddenly become anti-abortion. If Sarah Palin were to accept the presidency of Code Pink the entire anti-war crowd would morph into Rambo! If Sarah Palin were to become an atheist….I think you get the picture.
Evidently we do live in two different Americas. There is the America of the liberals who are free to come and go, do what they want and no one should ever dare criticize them for it. They are liberal. They are inclusive, they are tollerant, their intentions are "pure". Then there is America of the Republicans. Nothing we can do is right. It doesn't matter. Maybe we should just give up, shoot ourselves and put us out of their misery, right?
Or, maybe liberals should just get a life and truly learn how to live and let live. John McCain beat them to the punch. It is entirely possible Sarah Palin is going to be the next Vice President of the United States of America. It's entirely possible she may be President one day. She has a child with Downs Syndrome and did not abort him. She lugs the little guy to work with her. She has a 17 year old daughter who is pregnant and is planning to marry the father of her child.
Would someone please explain how any of this disqualifies her to be VP?
We aren't even touching on the 'qualification' argument which is insulting to Democratic intelligence. The woman is more qualified than Barack Obama and that's the whole rub. For some strange reasons when liberal Democrats are backed into a corner they become "creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're all together ooky" and and just plain funny. They are also annoying and can truly harm innocent people and reputations. Maybe they should have a warning sign rubber-stamped across their foreheads.
Then there's one other little aspect of a Sarah Palin VP Candidacy. It trumps Barack Obama. Liberal Democrats are beginning to reek of that special odiferous aura of impending doom. Please, continue your current path to abject destruction. You are funny. I've realized it's just fun to sit back and enjoy the show. I'm going to go fix some popcorn.
Want some?
Just remember, come November, the American people may be sick and tired of the temper tantrum and may end up throwing a bucket of cold water on you.
Deal with it – and Sarah Palin. She's here to stay.
Curses! Foiled again!
P. S. It just dawned on me. I have the wrong cartoon characters. Barack Obama and his liberal little Democratic friends remind me of the Adaams Family!
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Democrat Family.

This review is from: Rosewill RFA-120-BL - 120mm Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Blue Frame & 4 Blue LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent
Pros: These are pretty quiet at max in my opinion, as long as you have a good sound barrier with your case you can't even hear it at full throttle.
Cons: Blue is a bit too bright but what's the big deal?
Other Thoughts: I am really thrilled with these and how great they move air around!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros: Well it wasn't DOA so I guess that's good from what I've read. It has 6 SATA Ports! It can easily Overclock (I temporarily put in an AMD Phenom II 830 @ 2.8 GHz and it automatically overclocked it to 3.4 GHz). This board has a great smell when it's brand new (sounds creepy but new electronics smell great!).
Cons: Only 3 fan headers plus the one CPU Fan Header.
2 of the headers are right next to the CPU Header which makes it harder to actually control a fan Via the board.
Other Thoughts: For a new builder I would buy this, in my opinion I made a mistake because I decided to buy an Nvidia GPU and I was originally going to buy AMD but the prices were too high (Bitcoin Miners...)READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: CORSAIR CX Series CX600 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply
Pros: The cables are very easy to manage. This stays very cool even under FULL load and the fan is VERY QUIET at max speed.
Just got my rebate yesterday!
Cons: None yet!
Other Thoughts: All in all this is great for new builders as well as anyone that needs a 600 Watt PSU.READ FULL REVIEW

I could have done with him next to me when I stepped out of the lift and on to the balcony at British Telecom's Newcastle Call Centre. Another vast human canvas rocked me back on my heels. Opened 12 months ago in an oversized warehouse in the middle of downbeat estates and rag-tag fields on the outskirts of the city, it is a place the size of three, maybe four football pitches, housing hundreds upon hundreds of people who generate a steady hum of noise. It is simply breathtaking in scale. My BT host smiled proudly. "It always takes people like that." Staring out over this factory of the 21st century in a city that is struggling to leave the 19th, again I couldn't decide whether the scene before me had been dreamt up by angels or demons.
The workers - or "advisors" as they are officially designated - each has an identical booth, with desk, chair, phone and computer, all done out in the BT corporate colours of blue and grey, and all neatly lined up into groups of 12 as far as the eye can see. On the horizon, you can barely recognise the dots in their two-tone dens as human beings. They are worker ants. But nearer to the balcony vantage point, the nature of the centre's work is quickly apparent. For around pounds 4.50 per hour, 35 hours a week, advisors cold-call numbers selected anywhere in the country by a central computer, read from a pre-prepared script on a computer screen and try to charm the voice at the other end of the line into buying trimmings for their phones such as charge cards, extra lines and the Call Minder answering service.
It is estimated that by 2000 call centres will account for one in every 50 jobs in the UK. Some put the figure higher - one in 30. Already they dwarf traditional career avenues such as car-making, mining, shipbuilding or steel works. They are clustered mainly in towns where heavy industry disappeared in the 1980s - Warrington, Doncaster, Sunderland, Dunfermline, Leeds - and where as a consequence there is a ready pool of cheap labour. Yet on average 70 per cent of the employees are women - it's 98 per cent at Littlewoods Call Centre in Preston - and the jobs that have been created have not replaced those predominantly male ones lost in manufacturing.
Some old industrial areas have been more favoured than others by the centre operators. Brummie and Scouse accents at the end of a telephone line are considered offputting to customers, so the Geordie, Scottish and, to a lesser extent, Welsh and Northern Irish heartlands, with their attractive lilts, have stolen a march.
We all, whether we know it or not, use call centres. They have, almost unnoticed, established themselves at the core of the much-vaunted flexible market, service economy of Britain in the 1990s. They come in two main varieties, the ones that make calls to us and the ones that receive our calls. Currently the makers - although this is an odd misnomer for telemarketing centres such as the one at Newcastle, which "make" nothing - are the junior partners while the customer care operations - the central places you ring to book your train tickets, fiddle with your bank account or complain about faulty ball-bearings in your washing machine - constitute the bulk of the sector.
But the balance of power is changing. The makers are also the movers and shakers in this precocious infant industry. The combination of telephones and technology has given a new lease of life to a somewhat tainted vocation that stretches back through foot-in-the-door double-glazing salesmen, via numerous exposes on That's Life, to the friendly Co-op Insurance man who popped in once a month to collect your tuppenny premiums. And this hi-tech cold-calling is working so well for BT, which leads the way with five dedicated telemarketing centres and 7,000 staff on the case, that others are following. Already the alternative telephone service providers have set up operations and the day may not be too far off when Rail Enquiries ring us to see if we are interested in bargain fares on the 7.27 to Penzance via Taunton.
If such a scenario sounds like a recipe for constant interruptions in the estimated 20 million homes in this country that have a phone, then it is also worrying unions and research bodies. For the telemarketing end of the call-centre industry has been likened to, in one much repeated phrase, William Blake's "dark, satanic mills". Where many customer-care centres have realised that they need to offer the sort of pay and conditions that attract and retain workers with initiative, a mind of their own and the ability to do a whole variety of tasks from placating angry customers to - in the case of some of the home-shopping operations - advising callers on what shade of curtains go with a harvest beige carpet, their telemarketing cousins are bleak and brutal environments. The Communications Workers Union published a briefing paper on them this summer highlighting the lack of training available, the tendency to cut costs by using agency staff on lower rates of pay with few employment rights who can be hired and fired at will, plus the complaints of many ex-workers about the regimented working patterns, the screen-related strains, aches and pains, or simply the boredom and frustration.
Sue Fernie of the London School of Economics entitled her recent report on call centres, "The New Sweatshops", and compared them with the panoptican, the nightmare circular prison described by the 19th-century philosopher and fledgling free-marketeer, Jeremy Bentham, where every activity of the inmates could be monitored. And John Robertston of Income Data Services, writing that independent research organisation's second report on call centres, described them as factory farms. In such an analogy, the choice for those of us who take advantage of call centres is as straightforward as the one we face every time we pick up a box of eggs in our supermarket.
From the balcony in the Newcastle Call Centre, the features of those advisors I could see were obscured by the regulation head-set and mouth-piece they wear to link phone with screen. But even within such constraints, there was a definite uniformity to the human as well as the physical landscape. Where, I wondered, were the people with brightly coloured hair, ill-fitting clothes or a weight problem? There is a rigid appearance and behavioural code. "We expect that everyone looks and acts professionally as a mark of respect to our customers," says Kathleen Dobie, the centre manager. It took me back to the days when radio presenters had to wear a shirt and tie before they could broadcast in case the listener might somehow catch a glimpse of them in the wireless set. "I'll make no bones, Peter," Dobie went on - in this temple to marketing techniques, they like to give you a name-check every few sentences - "this is a disciplined environment".
The smack of firm management has left little room for individuality. One or two advisors - mainly from among the minority of men who work here - stood up at their desks, juggled stress balls or walked around with their head-sets on extension leads as they talked, but most were anchored to their seats, shoulders hunched, partings straight. In between calls, chatting over the cubicle walls is discouraged. Even if they get a series of answer-machines - it is company policy never to leave a message - filling the gap by reliving last night's episode of The Bill with your neighbour is tantamount to talking during assembly at school. Unsurprisingly, then, the body language of the advisors is curiously at odds with the bright orange corporate billboards dotted around the walls urging them to "Get Fired Up". It was only as I was getting back in the lift that the angle of the balcony rail changed and cut off the last word on one board, making its message more relevant to what seemed to be the mood on the shop-floor. Keep your head down or "Get Fired".
There are, granted, a few perks to soften the long hours on the phone. The subsidised canteen, grandly entitled "the bistro", is less generous when you consider that the nearest shop is probably a 15-minute walk away. And the rank of call boxes, from which free personal calls can be made to anywhere in Britain, attracted few takers. After an eight-hour shift spent talking down the line, who would want to make yet more use of the telephone. And unlike many of the more relaxed customer-care centres, at Newcastle there is no creche, few comfy sofas, no pot plants and even regulation BT cups if you need a drink to wet a dry throat after your 50th sales pitch of the morning. Smoking is banned.
Down at the coal-face, it is 3.45pm. "Fifteen minutes until we go live," announce the huge scoreboards all around the building. Going live is suitably upbeat telemarketing jargon for starting the new shift. For a quarter of an hour every day at this time each evening shift team leader briefs their 12 staff who come on duty at 4pm. It's all about targets to be achieved, repeated warnings about allowing customers off the hook by agreeing to "paper referrals" - ie giving them time to go away and think about it - and harsh words for any team or individual that is languishing in the nether regions of the internal sales league table.
This is not just a job. In telemarketing there is a whole competitive philosophy you have to embrace to stay afloat. It is the hard-sell at its most polished and its most primitive with little room for those who will not, or cannot, conform. The promiscuous consumer in me is profoundly impressed. If this is the way of the future, one side of life is going to get an awful lot easier. The citizen in me though is disturbed. Do I really want one in 30 of workers in this country to end up dragooned in such a fashion so that I can avoid delays at the bank and get my telephone answered when I'm out?
Karen - pronounced Kieran - Adamson, one of the Newcastle team leaders, is using her 15-minute pep talk to inspire her group of moonlighting students, flexi-time mums and an under-employed drummer in a fledgling rock band, to reach for the stars. In BT terms that means selling eight chargecards each over the course of the evening. An attractive, apparently sincere thirtysomething woman with long-flowing hair and Nana Mouskouri specs, Adamson's patter is delivered with so much gusto that she almost has me won over to a career in telemarketing. I may be a bit old - most advisors are under 30 - and a bit dubious about the real benefits of the products to the human soul, but this telemarketing evangelist made it sound like the most challenging thing in the world.
Adamson blew any stereotypes I had formed about the staff at Newcastle straight out of the water. She is a graduate in art history and told me that Georges Braque might have appreciated the brutal beauty of the call centre's architecture. It would have been an interesting point to argue, but part of the system at such a centre is that every second has to be accounted for and set against sales targets. There is no bonus in banter about artists.
Like all the senior staff at Newcastle, Adamson has seen the negative reports about call centres. Does she consider her workplace a prison? She smiles. Like all advisors, she has been trained never, ever to take offence. It is the cardinal sin and means immediate dismissal. However rude the people you call, and I was assured many times with an air of mild bemusement that customers can get very irate when they are interrupted in the middle of Neighbours to be asked if they would like to try a three-way conference call facility, the sine qua non of the call-centre employee is to keep on smiling.
Adamson explains that she enjoys the work, enjoys managing people, enjoys selling and moreover is good at it. The pay - around pounds 16,000 per year for a team leader - is as good as it gets in a depressed post-industrial town but, most of all, Adamson likes helping customers to get a better deal. It is during this last phrase that her eyes go opaque. It is as if she is reading off some mental pre-prepared script just as her team read off the screen.
Before I can seize on what she clearly knows is the weakest line in her argument, she moves effortlessly on. Do I have a car? Well, yes. What is it? A rusty, malfunctioning sports car, I say, almost defiantly. Aha, she comes back, without so much as a blink, if there was a new paint that would make it sparkle again and she knew about it and I didn't, wouldn't I want her to call and tell me? It seemed churlish to say that I liked the rust. Instead I did my best impression of a BT telemarketing smile.
Every conversation in this environment is a sales pitch and you can quickly get caught up. The concentration is on small things, endlessly analysing and questioning whether or not customers will want a chargecard or Call Minder. The bigger picture just doesn't exist. Indeed some ex-employees argue that all the sales jargon about customers, the "Get Fired Up" posters, the psychobabble that underpins them, the strict dress code, the hierarchical structure, the endless assessments and reviews, are there to add gravitas and "science" to the fundamental point of the whole operation - the entirely straightforward and basic task of pushing up BT's profits and protecting its market share in an age of deregulation and ever more demanding consumers.
Anthea, one of the Newcastle advisers, is busy at work on a call and lets me listen in on a mute phone usually staffed by her team leader. She begins by telling Mrs Brown of Middlesex that BT has "a special Christmas gift to offer her" - free three-way conferencing on her line for three months. Now Mrs Brown can scarcely hear, and certainly doesn't understand what it is that's being offered, but Anthea skilfully extracts from her the information that she has a grandson and a granddaughter. I can almost picture their proudly displayed photographs.
This is a key moment in the call. Too much oohing and aahing and Anthea will get a wrap over the knuckles from her team leader for taking too long, too little and Mrs Brown might just realise that she can live without three-way conferencing. Wouldn't it be nice, she tells Mrs Brown, to talk to both her grandchildren at once on Christmas Day. After all - slight softening in her voice - it's a time for families. The offer is duly accepted.
As someone who finds it hard to discuss money with the milkman, I can only marvel at Anthea's sang-froid. But how would she feel if Mrs Brown were her granny? In three months' time, she will like as not find herself landed with phone paraphernalia she doesn't want, has to pay for and cannot use? "No. I'm helping the customers, making their lives better." It's the same story all the way up to the top. "The customer always comes first," says Kathleen Dobie, a middle- aged Scot whose benign smile only wanes when she refers to the academics who write reports about "her industry" without understanding it. "Once upon a time customers only heard from us when our bill fell on their mat. Now we are providing the level of service they require."
Though they will never admit it, it is said that most of the BT directors responsible for the telemarketing division - or "channel" as it is called - have all quietly removed their home numbers from the computer. They don't want their evenings ruined or their grannies cold- called. For most customers do not "require" this level of service. If it were simply all about the opening gambit of the sales pitch - giving customers discounts such as the Family and Friends scheme which allows you to save 10 per cent on 10 selected numbers - then surely it would be quicker and cheaper simply to knock it off every domestic customer's bill? The discounts are the window-dressing, the loss-leader, the tin of beans for 10 pence on the poster in the supermarket window that lures you in.
There is a danger, in discussing the pitfalls of telemarketing, in focusing on BT. But, since they are Britain's pioneers in the field, the problems that are causing such concern are much more obvious in an operation of their unparalleled scale. The issue of employees' rights in particular comes up often. As well as using the latest in technology in their call centres, BT prefers with its advisors to use the latest in employment techniques and that means flexible, cheap contracts with third-party agencies both in their telemarketing centres and in their more traditional call centres dealing with 150 and 192 enquiries. Kathleen Dobie cannot confirm the number of agency staff used at Newcastle - it is, evidently, commercially sensitive information - but she defends such "partnerships" with employment bureaux on the grounds that they cut down on routine personnel work for her and her senior staff and "they allow us, in what has to be a cost- conscious environment, to flex up and down numbers of staff so as to provide the level of service our customers expect at peak times".
Simon Holding - not his real name, because his wife still works in telemarketing and now, more than ever, they need her wages - worked in a BT telemarketing centre for two and a half years. Like, he estimates, some 90 per cent of the advisors he worked with, Holding was on an employment agency contract, renewed at regular intervals. With its own people BT is a model, union- friendly employer but agency staff are paid at lower rates, have to rely more heavily on bonuses, do not get BT pensions, sick pay, discounts on the company's services and they cannot apply for internally advertised staff jobs. In short they have no job security.
In Holding's experience, only those singled out for future promotion in the call centres got staff posts. After a clash with one of his senior managers, he was, he believes, blackballed from such promotion. The disciplined system that Kathleen Dobie spoke of can also allow power without responsibility among managers. Last September, at four days' notice and despite a highly successful sales record, Holding's contract was not renewed. As an agency employee he had no way of fighting back and the agency itself had no interest in supporting him. It was anxious not to lose its contract with BT. He just had to take it on the chin.
"In one sense," he reflects, sitting in the sitting-room of his rented terraced house, "I was glad to get out. I'd started to think of it as Colditz. They had steadily dehumanised it over the time I was there. It became totally regimented. If you tried to be honest with the customers, say, `I don't think that service is for you,' even if you knew they just wanted someone to talk to and would buy anything, then your name was marked down as a troublemaker."
Terry Jones (a pseudonym) is another of the many shown the door because his face didn't fit. Turnover in call centres is very high. Most employees don't make it to their first anniversary. At 21, younger and more carefree than Holding, Jones had just left college and got his job at the telemarketing centre to supplement his income while he tried to set up his own business. "They told me I could earn up to pounds 1,000 a month. In the end though I was one of the best in my team - I never cleared more than pounds 350. One day our main computer broke down and so we were all sent home early. As agency staff that meant losing several hours' money even though it wasn't our fault. When I asked my manager about it, she said, `If you don't like it ...' That was the attitude."
Jones swallowed hard, but his manager subsequently accused him of swearing under his breath. After what he felt was the most perfunctory and one- sided scrutiny by senior managers at the centre, he was sacked for gross misconduct. He has subsequently taken his case to an industrial tribunal and won damages for breach of contract, but remains bitter about his treatment. "They control their staff rigidly - if you are too bright, or can think on your feet or have a conscience about what you're doing, you're out."
In Mediterranean countries, the idea of organising your life, your home, your holiday and your finances by telephone would be anathema. They prefer face-to-face contact. I think I must have some Latin blood somewhere in my veins. But we live in northern Europe, in a consumer society, much influenced by North American attitudes towards customer convenience and customer service. And so call centres are a logical development and telemarketing the latest manifestation of that culture.
In Britain, we have half of all Europe's call centres. Despite efforts by unions to improve conditions, and hopes that Fairness at Work legislation will apply more stringent standards, we should be concerned. However much we may like to avoid facing it, that cheery voice on the end of line providing us with consumer durables is currently working in a dehumanised environment for low pay in an area of high unemployment so as to service our whims cheaply and effectively. It is an uncomfortable thought

Great Apartment and Location
Gale is a brilliant place to holiday especially if you are linguistically challenged like myself as most shops and restaurants staff spoke very good English. Location wise was ideal for Zoomarine and Slide and Splash.
A few good restaurants within walking distance and reasonable priced. Fantastic cakes can be found at the first roundabout which we only discovered on the day we were due to return home.
I would definitely book again.

Great Apartment and Location
Had a great time in this apartment. Well stocked with household utensils and appliances, just like being at home. The WIFI access was a must for me and worked well throughout my stay . The heated pool was a bonus.

Well-appointed lovely apartment
We spent seven days here. The weather was glorious and the apartment lived up to expectations and then some. It was beautifully presented, clean and well-equipped. The heated pool, lovely grounds and verandah with barbecue were a delight. The area is great to explore with cliff paths, small coves and interesting rock formations - a photographer's dream. We had two games of golf - one at Salgados only 10 minutes away and Santo Antonio towards Lagos. Very different but lovely and very enjoyable despite the scores. A thoroughly good time was had by both of us and we would love to return in the future and bring family or friends. Thank you Howard.
One of a small, smart development of apartments in a great location.
The luxury apartment is really well presented and equipped and it was a joy to sit on the balcony overlooking the heated pool which we thoroughly enjoyed using. We appreciated the use of the TV with its many channels and made relaxing in the evening perfect (with a bottle of the local wine). The location is perfect, being near to the beach and an excellent supermarket. Security is good with plenty of parking too. My daughter and I had a wonderful holiday and we look forward to returning next year and thank you Howard for our stay. We would definitely recommend this listing to friends and family.

Beautiful apartment very well maintained gardens and pool.
The apartment was perfect to meet our family's needs there was everything we needed and it was lovely and clean. The gardens and pool were fab the children loved the pool and it was great that it was right beside us. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely want to stay there again.
The apartment was beautiful. It was very clean.
The apartment is situated in a great area(guia). We had our car and found out that the aquapark like 'aqualand' and zoo marine where just a short drive away.
At the apartment we found helpful information provided about restaurants and places of interest.
There are also two restaurants opposite that are great and come in handy after a long day out.
There are also supermarkets close by.
The pool was great my kids really enjoyed themselves and the area around the pool was kept very clean.
This was our first time booking via this website. All in all a great experience .
Fantastic apartment in peaceful setting
We have just returned from a weeks holiday and considering it was the school holidays there were many times when we had the pool to ourselves. If you are looking for a peaceful setting this is the place to go, the pool is surrounded by lovely well tended gardens. The apartment itself is spacious and has a home from home feeling. We enjoyed many barbecues on the balcony and highly recommend the Apolonia supermarket which is a 10 minute walk from the apartment. The Apolonia is very similar to Waitrose in quality and price, the bakery, deli and butchery is excellent (they have a huge selection of meats for the barbecue and all of very good quality). The bedrooms are spacious and have plenty of wardrobe/cupboard space (and lots of coat hangers). There is a washing machine but only a very small clothes airer. There is a main bathroom an then a shower room with toilet and although it is very small it is very handy to have an extra bathroom. The beach is about a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment and is a huge stretch of fine sand and clear water. It was extremely busy when we visited but as it is so large there was plenty of room to have your own privacy. Although it is possible to walk to the supermarket, beach and some restaurants we would recommend that you have a car so that you can venture further afield. We were met by George on arrival who runs through everything you need to know and he is on hand if you have any issues. Howard was excellent to deal with, and replied very quickly to any queries. Thank you Howard!

Thank you for the message, Richard. I moved to Wolves Lane in 2004 and I like Middleton Road. I accidentally walked into a street event there where I experienced great community spirit.
I'm afraid I told a small lie when I registered for the forum. I listed my address as Arundel Gardens in N21. In fact that was my last address back in 1969, after that I stayed at Truro road. I was a regular at Fishmongers Arms and Springfield Park Tavern. I now live in a village called Crowhurst, near Battle in East Sussex. I still have strong memories of the area having worked at Express Motors and a spell as Road Sweeper.
Hi Richard,
thanks for your message. I just moved to the area and want to learn more about it. Very exiting!
Hi Richard,
Thank you for the warm welcome. Moved to the area in July 2015 and really love it. Shall be checking out the folk club at Mums on the 4th Feb.
Many thanks
Thanks Richard. We moved here last summer and are just trying to take part in the community now we're a bit more settled.
Thanks again,
Thanks Richard. Please could you email us the pictures from yesterday to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you Richard for your welcome, it is many years since I lived in the area, but it was the are of my teenage ramblings as you will see if you look at my website www.judydyble.com
I am currently in the middle of writing my biography and this area does feature in it!! I may have to ask people questons on here about it when my memory fails me :-)

Grambling's athletic department made headlines after the school's football players staged a boycott because of issues with university leaders, disgusted at what they saw as rundown facilities, needless long bus trips to road games and questionable personnel decisions. Most of the problems were blamed on budget issues. A survey by The Associated Press found Grambling ranks 6th out of 10 Southwestern Athletic Conference schools with a $6.7 million budget, which is slightly less than the league's $7.1 million average. Here are the projected 2013-14 budgets for each SWAC school (in millions):
Alabama State - $9.9
Southern - $8.5
Texas Southern - $8.2
Prairie View A&M - $7.9
Alabama A&M - $7.8
Grambling State - $6.7
Jackson State - $6.5
Arkansas-Pine Bluff - $6.4
Alcorn State - $5.6
Mississippi Valley State - $3.6

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 42 reviews
The A/C unit produced sound but no cool air. Sleeping was difficult with no A/C. The WiFi connection was intermittent. The restaurant was very good. This should have been a great hotel but I'll try another one if I'm in the area again.
A very acceptable hotel for the grade. Positioned on the outskirts of Dorgali; very suitable as a base for touring the area. Staff friendly and spoke good English. Our twin room was basic, with an ensuite (but that's what we paid for); very clean and serviced every day. Self-service continental breakfast ok; evening meals in the restaurant good. We had a limited budget for accommodation; this hotel met our needs perfectly and exceeded our expectations.
All the staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The location of the hotel made it an ideal base for trips to Tiscali and Gorropu Gorge and other journeys to the beautiful coast and mountains.
It was lovely, very friendly staff and always willing to help
Great place.. had a problem with room, but this was sorted in minutes.. room was changed. Reception gave good advice on trekking also showing a video clip of route..

Stuart Lancaster backed his own expertise as a student of human nature when first confronted by the England captaincy issue almost exactly a year ago, and precious little has happened in 12 breathlessly hectic months to persuade him that his initial decision requires revisiting. Tonight the red-rose coach confirmed that Chris Robshaw, the Premiership-winning Harlequins flanker, would continue in the role for the forthcoming Six Nations, which begins with the Calcutta Cup match against Scotland at Twickenham in 11 days' time.
Robshaw had his uncomfortable moments during the recent autumn international series against the cream of the southern hemisphere crop: twice in consecutive matches, against Australia and South Africa, his on-field decision-making was called into question. His critics accused him of being caught in two minds – sometimes three – over taking penalty shots at goal, and after the narrow defeat by the Springboks there was much talk of a change, with the Northampton back-rower Tom Wood fast emerging as favourite.
But in reality, Robshaw was never under threat: Lancaster is not the sort to switch horses in mid-race, and once the All Blacks were put firmly in their place in the final match of the series, the skipper's position was doubly secure.
Wood, outstanding in that game against the New Zealanders, will remain a valued part of the senior players' group – the "generals", as Lancaster calls them. So too will another captaincy candidate for the future, the hooker Dylan Hartley, who led England in Robshaw's absence against the Springboks in Port Elizabeth last June. However, the Northampton captain has enough on his plate dealing with the threat to his starting role posed by Tom Youngs of Leicester, one of the big winners during the autumn Tests.
Meanwhile, another England newcomer, the Gloucester outside-half Freddie Burns, will have a scan on damaged knee ligaments over the next couple of days, the results of which will determine his chances of playing a part against the Scots. Burns, who won his first cap against the All Blacks and had himself a ball during the 17 minutes he spent on the field, picked up the injury while on European club duty against Mont-de-Marsan last week.
The current fear is that he will be incapacitated for around three weeks and if that is confirmed, he will struggle to make the cut for the second Six Nations game against Ireland in Dublin. Lancaster will not be overly concerned, given the current form of Owen Farrell and Toby Flood, the other No 10s in the elite squad. However, Burns is a different kind of operator and brings a welcome attacking dimension to the England midfield.
On the club front, Bath have signed the veteran Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer on loan from Munster. The 35-year-old Heineken Cup winner, capped 98 times by his country, will spend the next couple of months with the West Countrymen, who have been hit by a series of injuries in the position.

Delicious slow food in intimate ambient.
Very good restaurant is located in Svetogorska 46. You enjoyed the international specialties, excellent wine of the house and very friendly staff. Recommendation for all lovers of good food.
It's a slow food restaurant meaning you can try 3-4 of their really great dishes in small portions. I had a starter, 2 main dishes and a dessert - perfect size meal alltogether and plenty of delicious options to choose from.
The service was terrific - perfect English from the staff and knowledgeable answers for all of my stupid food...
Everything were amazing.... an intimate place with good food and knowledgeable . It is a small restaurant with a very good menu. Also drinks are good, and specials.
Been there a few times with different guests. Always amazing and everyone satisfied. Highly recommended.
Good quality food, with a twist ...
Nice food combinations matched with wine and excellent deserts ...
Only prices are a little high, but quality and service is excellent ...
Very kind and helpfull stuff. Delicios food with great service. We tried their specialty beef rolls. Deliciuous and Burger. Ooat grilled cheese was very good.

The reading at Sunday Mass from the Gospel of St Luke provided an appropriate cue: love your enemies, Jesus said. Love Fathers Alphonsus Smith, Edward Hartel and Edward Pritchard was the message of the sermons. Forgive their sins as Christ forgave ours, the priests urged congregations.
With a candour uncharacteristic of the American Catholic Church until recent times, the archdiocese is seeking to reaffirm its moral authority following the shattering news last week that the three priests had been charged and could face up to 15 years in jail.
Last month Cardinal James Hickey, the head of the church in the nation's capital, defrocked the priests - and one other who has not been charged - after a 34-year-old man came forward and told local officials that he had been abused by each in turn during the 1970s at the parish of St Matthias. Other alleged victims have since come forward.
The four priests, summoned to archdiocese headquarters, allegedly confessed that the allegations of masturbation and oral sex in the chaplaincy were true.
In keeping with a resolution taken by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops last year, the church did not wait for the press to unearth the story.
