So true, Hazel, about Naaman -- sometimes we think we know more than God and that our way is better -- how foolish we can be! Thanks for hosting & God bless.ReplyDelete
Thanks again for hosting Hazel!ReplyDelete
Love the thought about Naaman this morning....ouch!! Help me Lord to listen for Your voice...and then accept what You have to say! Thank you, Hazel, for your prayers and support to us in Estonia. Blessings!!ReplyDelete
Very true! I think sometimes, like Naaman we expect some grand gesture - the big overwhelming miracle. And because of that we miss the small miracles, the God whispers, in our lives. Thanks for hosting!
You're so right Becky. Only as always, our thoughts are way down God's thoughts because if it isn't a grand gesture, He wouldn't give it at all. His gifts are good and perfect.

The Evil Status Report
Is Everyone Replaceable?
Managing Vendor Demonstrations
IT Salary Report: How Do You Stack Up?
3. Technical Writer - Maybe you like to write and enjoy technology, but would prefer not to write code. It is hard to find a good technologist who can also write solid technical documentation help files, user guides, and training manuals.
4. Trainer - If you were in to theater in school or are jazzed by public speaking, then delivering technical training classes could work for you. This involves direct people interaction, unless you are developing computer-based training. Its a good way to evangelize a product or technology, without having to write a line of code.
5. Sales Engineer - Being a sales engineer is tough, but can be financially rewarding with some positions offering commissions. You have to enjoy pressure situations, helping the sales team close deals in front of expert customers technologists who are scrutinizing every aspect of your software product. This position usually involves significant travel, so keep that in mind.
6. Technical Support Either working for a companys internal help desk or providing customer service for a software firms product line would be a nice fit if you like problem solving and interacting with people. Out of all the disciplines I have tried, this was the worst and best. Worst because of the irate users that would cuss you out over the phone, even if it was a simple user error. Best because of the gratitude received when you helped a user through a difficult problem and helped them make a deadline.
7. Enterprise Architect Whether you are designing a scalable data warehouse or mapping out a service oriented architecture for a global distribution system, being a good architect is essential to any large coding projects success. You can remain very technical, but focus on the big picture so the software developers have a framework from which to be successful.
8. Systems Engineer All great software needs a reliable system to run on. If it werent for the essential engineers in the data center, the code would be useless. If you get your kicks taking apart your computer or playing with your home network, you might also enjoy digging into servers, networks, and back ups.

For example, he'll come and ask about X, and he wants to do X in a specific way. But I'll suggest he do X in another way and explain why. Then he'll insist on doing X his way, and some weeks later, will come back and say that it didn't work and get all frustrated with the system. So eventually he'll do X, maybe in the way I suggested, maybe in another way. And he'll say that he sees that in retrospect maybe the way I suggested would have been smoother.
Then he'll come ask about Y, and he wants to do Y in a specific way. But I'll suggest he do Y in another way and explain why. Then he'll insist on doing Y his way, and some weeks later, will come back and say that it didn't work and get all frustrated with the system. So eventually he'll do Y, maybe in the way I suggested, maybe in another way. And he'll say that he sees that in retrospect maybe the way I suggested would have been smoother.
Then he'll come ask about Z... you get the idea.
It's frustrating that he doesn't seem to realize that he's coming to me for my perspective because I've wrangled with this system before, and even though I don't control the system, I've figured out some ways around and through and under. But he always insists that I just don't understand adequately and gets frustrated that I suggest another possibility. Or he gets frustrated at me for being the system.
I should just nod and let it go, shouldn't I?

Students who resist learning in any way other than those they have already decided on are very frustrating to deal with. In a graduate student, in my experience,that kind of resistance can be fatal to their degree. But the nature of their stubbornness itself prevents them from recognizing the danger they present themselves. It's a real shame--often the students are quite capable, and would succeed if they allowed themselves to.ReplyDelete
Maddening. Maybe you should give him the advice you think he wants instead of good advice and see if he does the opposite? Then, maybe, he could get it right the first time. :) I use reverse psychology on people all the time -- not to manipulate them, really, but because I know that some people deliberately disregard facts out of a misplaced sense of optimism.ReplyDelete
So I wonder what this person would do if you asked, "Well, what is your plan? What do you think you should do?" And then he answered and you said, "Cool. Go for it." Would he, then, do it another way?
I'm with Susan. It's how some kids learn. (I was one of these kids!) Keep telling him (the right way) to do it. Believe me, he's hearing you, even when it seems like he is not. He's collecting data, someonewhere in his stony little rock of a head! Eventually he's going to have an epiphany and realize banging his rock of a head against the rock of the world is not such a brilliant move after all.ReplyDelete
Then he'll be ready to hear!
Hope he learns faster than I did. (No, I will *not* tell you how long it took!)
I think you should point out to him what he's doing, and how that has worked out in the past.ReplyDelete
oh, i'm late! took the occasion of daughter moving to an internship way the hell across the country to see the nation's capitol. yes, there were some moving problems, too.ReplyDelete
here's my parental perspective. first, the pre-frontal cortex, responsible for executive functioning, is not fully developed until the early/mid 20's.
second, it is as important for students to fail in non-catastrophic ways as it is for them to succeed. this is how they learn to negotiate things beyond their control -- and to assess and use the advice of others.
my guess is that the student admires and trusts you; that he is listening; and that it's progress that he goes out of his way to say that your way might have been smoother.
the "kill the messenger" part (you don't understand; inappropriate venting of frustrations) -- oy, could i ever live without that. like what delanger said.

I'm a huge fan of the Hydraluron serum by Indeed Labs, and it's been a staple in my skincare routine for around a year now. Ever since the release of its sheet mask counterpart I've been tempted to give them a go, but the price tag was putting me off. After reading on Zoe's blog that Indeed Labs products were 1/3 off in Boots plus, if you pick up a copy of the latest Boots magazine, you can get an extra fiver off too, I was straight down to my nearest store, and managed to get these for less than half price!
Hydraluron masks contain 3D time release hyaluronic acid to help skin feel hydrated for longer (up to 24 hours apparently!). All you do is cleanse your face as normal, then manoeuvre the sheet mask into place on your face - trying not to get any of the mask in your eyes or mouth! I've always been told my face is small so, of course, the mask was way too big for me. However, as the mask is packed full of moisture, it's quite easy to stick into place. You are going to be left twiddling your thumbs (as well as looking pretty scary!) for the 15 minutes you leave the mask on for though - if you move about, the sheet will start to come off, so it's probably best to put this mask on as you are about to settle down and watch your favourite tv programme!
Once the 15 minutes are up, simply remove the mask, massage the excess serum into your skin and finish off your skincare routine with your moisturiser of choice. I was surprised at just how much of the serum had been drunk up by my skin - it was obviously in need of some serious hydration! When I woke up in the morning, my skin felt more plump than it usually would, even before I had started my morning skincare routine. Because my skin was so smooth, makeup application was effortless and the finish looked better than normal. I'm not too sure if it gives a full 24 hours moisture retention, but my skin felt nice and hydrated for the majority of the day.
|I'll spare you the horror of seeing me wearing the mask, but this is what it looks like!
You can currently pick these masks up on offer for £13.33 in Boots - don't forget to get your voucher from the latest Boots magazine to get an extra £5 off too! Thanks for the tip Zoe!

Why X Travels Around the Axis – Part V
Now, your hovers cease; now you fall toward a spread of green.
An innocent green immediately lost to the speeding fabric of air,
Filling your lungs with geometry.
Lines drawn, crossing
Grey hexagons, collecting
Monoliths soaked in rain.
He observed her slide along the wet pavement with hands suggestively outspread, waving away the remaining raindrops. "I had forgotten the lights", he exclaimed to himself. In a low voice, but in a genuine tone of solemn awe. No one heard him, of course, despite the raucous multitude of seemingly disembodied limbs moving arbitrarily to and fro, because, here, the city was the only one who truly spoke. The cellular network wavered in concert to the cacophony, and his towering, slender body trembled like he was readying himself for a jig. He was enthralled. Two aimless steps moved forward, a failed attempt to find his way. He was far too dazzled by the electromagnetic speech of the city. Conversing in oscillating bursts of colours, the city uttered glowing words that flashed vistas of desire, unfolding along a grammatical grid, webbed across vacuum. Underneath the coils of meaning, the phonemes pulsed in radiating, yet deceivingly ordered, flickers – spelling out an invitation to merge with them; offering a rhythm that would even replace the beating of the heart with a pure drumming of forces. He observed how the soaring buildings did not in fact scrape the sky, but instead bent and curved as they pressed higher, eventually forming a vast arc, caked in steel and shimmering glass. In a way, he thought, the city is a self-contained bubble, a kind of neon monad. And its beauty was unquestionable.
Undoubtedly, she was there, behind the drapes, her gesticulating silhouette indicated that much.

One of the ways that Christian fundamentalists inoculate their followers and make them immune to facts is by telling them not to listen to anyone who disagrees with them or says they might be wrong. Those are bad people, on the side of the devil instead of God. Here's David Barton's version to his followers:
What's been interesting is that in the last twenty to thirty years, you've also had lots of Christians join in and say 'hey, you can't teach this kind of stuff.' Now why in the world would Christians join with all these other groups to say you shouldn't be teaching providential history? Why would Christians join in to say you gotta keep history secular?
And the answer is probably found a great passage that Jesus gave us in Luke 6:40 where he says 'every student, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.' What happens is you've got a whole lot of [professors] at Christian schools that were trained by really secular guys and every student when he's fully trained will be like his teacher.
And so what happens is all these guys go through and get their PhDs but they've been trained by really secular-minded, higher criticism type guys and when they get there, they just communicate on to these Christian kids, or whatever kind of kids they've got, whatever they've been taught.…
That's why today if you do something like try to put God in history, you're going to get nailed. A book that we did, "The Jefferson Lies," made all sorts of national news because all these professors came out [and said] Jefferson didn't believe in God, he wasn't religious, he was a great atheist. I mean, they just went bonkers when we went back through and showed all the things Jefferson did … but man if you try to get God back into the position that we ha him in history for three hundred years, it just drives these PhDs nuts.
Now there are some good PhDs, there are some good professors out there, great guys, but by and large that profession as a whole is now the most hostile to God things as any profession in the nation.
It's a mental vaccine, as is the whole litany of Christian right misology. They constantly denigrate intellect and learning and those who have them and elevate "common sense" and folk wisdom. Anecdotes are offered instead of evidence. It gives their followers a cognitive shortcut to get around any dissonance between their beliefs and the real world.

My favourite first time of the weekend has to have been my first visit to the National Film Theatre to watch a film. The Londoners amongst you will be saying "Sweetpea. How could you never have been to the NFT? It is a classic movie theatre, showing all manner of cool films. Where have you been hiding, Planet Odeon?" but the truth is that although I've been to the building a great number of times to meet friends for coffee or just to hang out, I'd never been to see a film.
But when I realised that they had a James Bond season on, I practically manhandled by DH out of the door, such was my excitement. Now, I have come to James Bond late in life. My Dad used to watch them and the blend of violence and the fact that the feminist movement never happened in the world of 007 used to put me right off. But now I think: what's not to love? Especially with the old ones? Sean Connery, rocket launches which look like an episode of the Clangers because the special effects are so bad, and a girl formula which goes something like this: There must be 3 girls. One at the start, who is in bed with James. She must die in the third frame. One who is vehemently anti-Bond. She must hate him, but then be overcome by him and his potent sexual attractiveness. And one who loves Bond and must end up with him in the final frame. And all on the big screen!
DH and I had a lovely evening, curled up on the comfy seats, watching Live and Let Die. Bet you didn't know that Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay for Live and Let Die. 007-tastic.

These days, if I have the time, I may make a small test portion for lunch to see if the result turns out well, and also take proper "nice nice" photos. Natural lighting is better during day time, and seriously I have no time at all to take photos during dinner time.
Luckily this dish 琵琶豆腐 Salmon Tofu (from Episode 1) turned out fairly well. I had to watch that particular video segment several times on xinmsn.com catch-up TV as the recipe provided on iWeekly stated only the ingredients and steps but not the quantity.
While I enjoyed the dish very much, hubby and son were more lukewarm towards it. Well, if I were to pan fry or deep fry it, perhaps it'll be a different story. Probably I'll try it next time to confirm my hypothesis. Ha!
As to why it's called "Pipa 琵琶" Tofu, from what I learnt from the programme, it's because the shape of the salmon tofu looks like the chinese instrument Pipa.
Salmon Tofu
Makes about 8-9 pieces of salmon tofu *quantity reduced by half compared to the original
(adapted from i Weekly and Channel 8 TV show 3 Plus 1 Series 4 - Episode 1)
Salmon Tofu
- 1/2 pc Silken Tofu

- Dash of pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Golden Mushroom, cut into 3 sections
- 1 tsp Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Oyster Sauce
- Corn starch
- Drain the tofu by putting it in a sieve till moisture drains off.
- Gently mash the silken tofu, add salmon and water chestnut and mix well.
- Add spring onion, parsley, egg white, corn starch, pepper and salt into the mixture and mix well.
- Coat 8 ceramic spoons with oil and scoop the salmon tofu mixture into the spoons to form an oval and rounded shape.
- Place in steamer (water already boiling) and steam for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat about a tbsp of oil in a frying pan and stir fry the minced garlic till fragrant.
- Add the golden mushroom and stir fry till slightly soften.
- Add some water (just enough to cover the golden mushroom), and season with light soy sauce and oyster sauce (to taste). Then make a slurry with the corn starch to thicken the gravy.
- Pour the golden mushroom gravy into a plate. Once the salmon tofu is ready, gently scoop the tofu out from the spoon and place onto the gravy.
- Garnish with parsley and sliced chilli (optional) and serve hot.

Author(s): European Training Foundation
Type: Report
Year: 2011
VET system assessment
Put simply, lifelong learning means that people can – and should have the opportunity to – learn throughout their lives.
Skills and migration
Increased labour mobility across borders brings the skills issue onto the international agenda so the ETF also focuses on policy actions related to skills and employment of both emigrants and returnees.
Entrepreneurial learning
The ETF aims to develop the capacity of partner country institutions and other stakeholders in developing, monitoring and reviewing policies in the areas of entrepreneurial learning and enterprise skills.
Employment and Employability
"Employment": promoting better functioning and inclusive labour markets and vocational education and training systems in ETF partner countries.
Qualifications Systems
The ETF's role in qualifications is to provide expertise for the reform of qualifications systems in partner countries, in their various stages of planning and implementation.
Learning and teaching in VET
Teachers are a critical factor in education reforms. The ETF takes therefore the role of schools and teachers seriously throughout its work.
VET quality assurance
Quality assurance is provided through the development of methodological instruments to facilitate a structured policy learning process, integrating quality assurance principles, and reinforcing the quality assurance dimension in the Torino Process.
VET Governance
Governance modes and models have a high correlation with the overall performance of education and training policies, influencing their strategic formulation and implementation.

Grading the youngsters
But I can't think of many players who improved their standings with performances in this tournament. I guess that's one aspect of a complete team collapse and failure - there's not much positive to go around.
Now, I do think there were some players who showed they could play at a higher level. However, even those performances were tainted with moments of stupidity, ignorance or (insert your demeaning adjective here).
For instance, I thought Michael Orozco did well in his first two games, especially considering he's a central defender by trade and not a left back. But how good can you feel about his overall performance given his red card against Nigeria?
Stuart Holden was another who showed good signs early on, especially with his goal against Japan and his early play against the Netherlands. But then he botched a two-on-one attempt against the Dutch that would have sealed the game and finished off his horrid half by giving away a foul that led to the equalizer.
I don't think we learned anything new about Marvell Wynne (lots of speed but that's about it), Sacha Kljestan (can disappear for long stretches), Freddy Adu (selfish), Michael Bradley (prone to yellow cards) and Michael Parkhurst (not a commanding presence in central defense).
Robbie Rogers did nothing to increase his own stock. Jozy Altidore scored a goal but his injury kept him from contributing more. Maurice Edu played out of position and I thought he had a poor game against the Netherlands, but it's tough to judge him as a possible central midfield candidate for the senior side on what he did at central defense for the Olympic team.
I don't think Brian McBride was that effective but I also think that's because the lack of service was poor throughout the tournament. And besides, he's been there and done that for the US and his international days have been over save for this brief period.
Anyway, do you think any player helped his cause? Are things really that bad or am I just being too pessimistic?

To add to your list:
Nowak: I don't think he raised his stock any with this performance (obviously). I think the decision to pull Adu from the Netherlands game was a bit strange given that he pulled one of the few players on the team that can hold onto the ball and draw fouls to kill off time.
- August 13, 2008 at 3:31 PM
i think you're being a tad bit pessimistic (although i do agree that there was plenty negative to dish out).
i was VERY impressed with marvell wynne. not only did he have the speed but he played some of the smartest ball out there.
- August 13, 2008 at 3:40 PM
I think it was the US lack of depth that showed in the 3rd game and inexperience. They can only learn by going through tournaments like this.
Nowak: He can only do so much from the sideline. Adu keep on attacking in the Dutch game. A lot of the blame is on inexperience. To me he had a good game plan in all games and in all situations in the game.

After living in America for a while and seeing how everybody played soccer I was looking forward to watching your young players. I have to say that I was extremely disappointed. Seemed all about size and power rather than skill to me.
Can you add a link to my blog on your page? Cheers.

I think Charlie Daniels will definitely been seen more.
I agree 100% with you on Wynne. . . but DAMN what speed he has. That's game breaker speed right there. And he's got plenty of time to work on the details. He'll be our right back in 2010.
I think you are a little rough on Klestjan. Considering how Bradley's been playing the empty bucket formation, it's exciting to see a central mid with such creative ballsy vision.
- August 13, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Yeah I disagree, I don't think we'll see Charlie Daniels ever again on the USMNT, mostly because he doesn't exist.
- August 13, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Wynne was my man of the match is game 1. Set up the goal, but played tremendous defense for 90minutes. I think Adu "disappeared" far more than Klejstan, and sacha will move to Europe. I don't think you give Rogers enough credit. He was one of our biggest offensive threat in the first two games, at least in terms of penetration and service, and I think that overall Guzan showed that he is ready to taste a little EPL action. Unfortunate situation this morning, and I hate to continue seeing us drop from major tournies, but we did a lot right
- August 13, 2008 at 9:54 PM
unlike most commentators on this post and the previous one (Truth or daring...), I am much more positive about Adu and Kljestan - I thought they both played quite well, and should indeed be the type of player we should seek to develop more of.
unlike others, I came away unimpressed by Wynne and Altidore - Wynne has a lot of speed, but his forays into attack were kinda random - "dribble upfield and cross when you can't dribble any more".. his marking is extremely poor (how many times did Holland's left-sided winger Drenthe find himself wide open at the far post for a cross from the right flank? That was Wynne's responsibility - the fact that Drenthe couldn't shoot into the ocean from the beach was the only thing that saved Wynne's blushes.
I certainly don't see Wynne as the US right back in 2010, his athleticism notwithstanding. Jonathan Spector has much more experience at a much higher level of football, and who knows, Cherundolo might still be around :-)
On a more general note, we just don't seem to have sufficiently many players that are technically excellent, and tactically and physically consistent. (Prime example: Brad Davis, who plays for the Houston Dynamo - very technically gifted player - good enough to pull a Ronaldinho-style "elastico" in the MLS Cup final against the Revs - just plain inconsistent in his performances... Alvarez, who now plays with the Quakes, Josh Wolff of yesteryears, and of course, Kljestan and Adu...). After Reyna, the only technically gifted player with any amount of consistency has been Donovan, and no wonder he is our best ever.
Just too bad that Shalrie Joseph and Dwayne De Rosario aren't American - now that's a central midfield pairing I'd like to see!
I'll stop my rambling there.

I think you are being a bit pessimistic. If that free kick doesn't go in no one is talking about Holden's gaffe as he played excellent.
I don't think Adu being occasionally selfish taints the bulk of his performace. I also don't think he needed to do much to prove that he belongs on the senior team because he does.
Wynne still needs to work on some technical aspects of his game going forward but he did show some creative instincts moving forward like that Thierry Henry pass to myself he pulled against Nigeria. Anytime he was beaten he immediately recovered and 9/10 took the ball and brought it up field. You can't ask for more from a fullback. I think people are being a bit too picky on him in those terms. There are hundreds of fullbacks being paid twice as much as him in bigger leagues who play worse.
Rogers...it's what happens when you play a forward/winger as a left mid and in the case of the Nigeria game, left back. Relying on Rogers to provide staunch defense on the left is just dumb. He is a player you unleash on the left and let him bomb the opponents goal all day. They failed.
There are others but it wasn't a horrible showing. 1 unlucky free kick and a positively MORONIC red card by Orozco and it's game over.
The biggest negative was Nowak. He has little tactical awareness and his squad selection was abysmal just as they were in the qualifying games.
- August 14, 2008 at 2:13 AM
This is just in, Chivas USA signs Orozco!
- August 14, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Wynne was one of the better player for the US, IMO. He's fast and smooth.
Klestjan plays a very aggressive unpredictable style, which sometimes US players that have been Bradentoned lack.
Bradley was the same as always, doesn't stand out as particularly good or bad. He's a solid player, which is why I don't like to criticize the player Bradley for the special treatment he receives from coach Bradley.
Edu and Parkhurst were solid, IMO. Considering Edu doesn't have a lot of experience at center back, to step in at that level was pretty impressive.
McBride, I respect, but he's a very limited player at that level, it showed.
Robbie Rogers looked like a JV player. He gave the ball away almost every time he touched it.
Adu, if you give him the freedom to do the things he does well, which is float around and find space and then run at players, he's fantastic.
Stuart Holden was great. He's skilled and tough.

text: US Soldier Killed in Afghan Insider Attack He is first US service member killed this year By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Apr 8, 2015 11:55 PM CDT 20 comments Comments Afghan security personnel look at the body of an Afghan soldier who was killed after he opened fire on US troops in the compound of the provincial governor in Jalalabad. (AP Photo) (Newser) – In the first so-called "insider attack" to target NATO troops since they ended their combat mission at the start of the year, an Afghan soldier shot and killed a US soldier and wounded several others yesterday before being shot dead. The shooting happened after Afghan provincial leaders met a US Embassy official at the compound of the Nangarhar provincial governor in the city of Jalalabad. "Right after the US official had left, suddenly an Afghan army soldier opened fire on the US soldiers who were present in the compound," says the police chief for eastern Nangarhar province. The American troops returned fire, killing the Afghan soldier. A Pentagon spokeswoman says several US troops were wounded in the attack. The motive for the soldier's attack was not immediately known and no group claimed responsibility. In past attacks, Taliban insurgents have been known to wear Afghan police or military uniforms to stage attacks on the international troops. Others have opened fire apparently on their own accord, like an Afghan soldier who last year killed Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest-ranked US officer to be slain in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War. The last incident in which an American soldier was killed in Afghanistan was on Dec. 13, when a roadside bombing killed two US troops in Parwan province. (Last month, President Obama agreed to slow down the withdrawal of US troops.)

Non-professional one month old pic of Miller. I plan to take his monthly pics in the womb chair.
This picture cracks me up...he is "sitting" and looking sort of Hugh Hefner/Don Draper to me!
Jennifer Zdon came to our home and was truly the most patient photographer ever...she stayed with us for two and a half hours, waiting calmly while someone cried and fell back asleep, then ate, then woke up, then got changed, then took one photo, then cried, then fell asleep. You get the idea, no?
One of the reasons we chose Twirl is because we love Jennifer's book New Orleans A to Z, often having bought it for gifts for friends children and, of course, enjoying Miller's copy ourselves. Have you checked it out before?
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do so. It is beautifully photographed.
You can preview the book here!
I will post some of Miller's pics when we receive them from Jennifer. We are waiting on pins and needles to see them. If you are interested in Twirl Photography, check out her site which has a link to her great blog, too!

In chicken forums, there are two opinions on giving a broody chicks either from an incubator or from the feedstore: 1) do it during the day, so you can watch as needed 2) do it at night. I've given a broody chicks two times now. I think either way works, but with two caveats: 1) do it when it is cooler (either the morning or evening) 2) keep an eye on things.
In my experience, a broody doesn't notice much. I can add chicks and she just sits there. My broody is a nice girl, though. If your broody is mean, night might be best so she doesn't attack. I put the chicks under her wings.
Yesterday when I tried giving my broody chicks, I had a problem. The chicks didn't know she was there mom, and it was warm enough in the coop that they didn't need to stay under her. They ran around exploring instead of sitting under her like good little chicks. I had to keep tucking the chicks under. Eventually, everyone got the memo and this morning momma took them all off the nest to eat. So broody is broken and operation add-a-chick was successful.

The 13th May started again at the Belleplain State Forest, to see if we could catch up with some of the birds we missed a few days ago, and also to explore the forest for ourselves. An excellent start was had with this splendid White-breasted Nuthatch.
|White-breasted Nuthatch
Another Magnolia Warbler was seen, plus Eastern Wood-Pewees, Scarlet Tanager, Pine Warbler, Eastern Kingbird, Blue-grey Gnatcatcher. Spending more time by the damp woodland at the Sunset Road bridge, a skulking Hooded Warbler was heard again but not seen. Then after a time, a bird was seen to land on the road. Only a stonking male Prothonotary Warbler! After a hop about on the road, the bird spent a number of minutes in the overhanging branches of a tree, giving absolutely wonderful views.
Following that success, the remaining time at Belleplain revealed Summer Tanager, Eastern Bluebirds, Red-tailed Hawk, an Eastern Phoebe, American Goldfinch and 2 Wood Thrushes.

Plenty of Cliff Swallows were around too, hawking insects from the lagoons. Someone had also claimed a Cave Swallow here, which is like a paler version of Cliff Swallow and really should be in Mexico. But alas, as hard as we tried to pick it out, all we could see were Cliff Swallows. Never mind, and not something I was expecting to get.
The next day, the 14th May, took us back to Higbee Beach for a morning walk. We had our first Hairy Woodpecker here, plus 3 Great Crested Flycatchers, female Summer Tanager, Black-throated Green Warbler and a cracking male American Redstart. Over the course of our time spent in woodland, we had noticed these web things in trees and bushes.
I had assumed they were spiders webs of some kind, and thought nothing of them. But after talking to an American birder, they are in fact caterpillar cases of the Gypsy Moth. Which would explain why this morning in particular, they were proving attractive to hungry birds. A natural bird table for Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, but particularly for a Baltimore Oriole and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
|Baltimore Oriole

An afternoon walk around the Rea Farm produced an American Kestrel which was new for the trip, also a female Prothonotary Warbler, a sight never to be tired of. I also did my good deed of the day here. Whilst taking a walk through some damp woodland, along a disused railway line, we found a Terrapin flat on it's back and unable to move. The reptile must've thought it was one of those Ninja Turtles, so when climbing over the metal railway line it would've flipped itself over, before it could have chance to say "Cowabunga!".
Now, in nature you're not supposed to interfere. But you couldn't help feeling sorry for this little chap, it could've been stuck there for hours. So I flipped the little fella back up again, and we made sure it carried on it's way after successfully climbing over the other side of the old railway line.

As darkness descended, something flew across out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was the size of an Owl to begin with. Thankfully the bird flew back towards us and we could tell it was a Nightjar of some kind. After a process of elimination, the clucking sound it made plus no white on the wings, meant that it was a Chuck-Will's Widow!
Much larger than our European Nightjar, and slightly larger than a Common Nighthawk. When it was almost pitch dark the bird landed on the ground in front of us, and you could make out it's huge head in proportion to it's body. Great stuff, a brilliant way to finish a day.

Hoi Chummers, we've just posted a Tumblr on the awesome power of the Shadowrun community! Specifically, it deals with the layers permeating back and forth between computer games and the tabletop, as illustrated by the first full length campaign mod by the Shadowrun Identity Project that is based on the classic paperback sourcebook Mercurial.

The ABCs of PR Measurement Hot
Before getting into detail about the various ways to measure a PR campaign, it should be noted that we're talking about a subjective concept. In other words, what constitutes a successful PR campaign will differ from one engagement to another or depending on the type of client you're working with. Given that, the best way to incorporate measurement into a PR campaign is from the beginning, before any of the tactical work of the campaign actually starts.
There are any number of metrics that can be incorporated into PR measurement, ranging from media impressions, publication readership or sales leads. However, the increasing popularity of online media give a wide array of other tools that can be used as well, including customized URLs and page views to a client's Web site, as well as comments to a blog or even online sales.
Financial advisors are well acquainted with the term "net new money," which is closely watched in the advisory business. For those who don't know, the term basically connotes the amount of additional funds under management that come into a practice as a result of a specific marketing-related program or a specific sales-oriented initiative. The term "net" simply means that any withdraws are subtracted from any additional inflows before arriving at the figure.
In many ways, this metric is ideal for financial advisors to use in any marketing effort, including PR. However, if you're going to use this method, meticulous detail should be spent in planning the campaign so that it will generate the maximum benefit for your practice. Also, various mechanisms should be built in to track funds received, when possible. For example, if you're publishing a newsletter, designate a customized URL that visitors can use to learn more about a current offering, or even your practice in general. The page views to this specific URL can be tracked independent of anything else you might be doing to give you a broader idea of the campaign's impact. To do this properly, you may want to invest in an analytical measurement tool for your Web site. There are many, including Google Analytics, which is free, although it requires a tiny bit of code to be included on your Web pages, which will probably mean consulting with your Web designer to get that accomplished.
I also can't emphasize enough how important it is to envision who your target is before the campaign is. If you're looking for a particular demographic, plan a campaign that will take your message where they are. Finally, give it some time. Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, you're likely not to see a huge influx of money at the beginning of a campaign. I've had cases where a campaign was an instant hit from the beginning, but in truth, that's harder for advisors than others because a certain amount of time has to be dedicated to differentiating a particular advisor I might be working with from any number of competitors. However, over time, most advisors will find that a PR campaign will include a number of results that will help them cost effectively grow their business.

I can feel your fear for that! It must be a huge work to sort the dreads out. Do you have to cut of the lenght as well? My 8 year old son have very fine hair and he tend to get dreads naturally, ha ha on a spot on top of his head :). Well using a comb is pointless so I tried a hairbrush for babies. It is a small very soft brush but it is great to use on impossible knots, I have actually started to use it myself. If you are going to cut the dreads of you could save them to do loose dreads of them. I make mine in sheep wool and dye them black with hair dye and braid them in. Good luck with your plans and I look forward to see how it will become :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes it knows work because I'm going to dismantle them as much as I can. My hair is gonna be about 10-15cm lenght which means that I will take hair extension until my own hair is a long enough; it takes roughly five years :D Could try that hairbrush! I was thinking of saving dreads to keep them later :>Delete

Actor Annu Kapoor today said he was the original radio jockey (RJ) and not Ameen Sayani or lyricist Javed Akhtar, as they have not made any radio programmes to take the legacy of Bollywood's unheard anecdotes and gossip tales to the audience.
"With all due respect to Ameen Sayani and Javed Akhtar, I am the original radio jockey, not them. It was after I started 'Suhana Safar', everybody else started such programmes. No other person can claim to have recorded 800 episodes," he told reporters here.
Akhtar is hosting a programme titled "Jaane Pehchane" on Epic Channel, while Sayani, who once captivated listeners by his inimitable voice, is back on FM radio, conducting two such programmes "Sitaron ki jawaniya" and "Sangeet kay sitaron ki mehfil".
Kapoor, who was in the city to promote his 92.7 FM's award-winning show "Suhana Safar", said, "By recording five or six stories, one doesn't become a veteran. I am the original master, the original radio jockey."
"The anecdotes and gossips of Bollywood is well researched. My stories are not internet-based alone. We meet people personally.. There is interaction with people. We also do our analysis. Amidst all these, there are hundreds of stories, we don't believe in," he added.
Commenting on Suhana Safar's foray in Bengaluru, Kapoor said, "I am extremely elated to see that the show is already gaining wide acceptance from the listeners in the Silicon city of India.
"It's a moment of pride for me to get a chance to celebrate the success of the show with all my well-wishers today."

LAUNDRY INCLUDING SYSTEM OF RECUPERATION BOTH OF THE WHOLE HEAT INCLUDED IN THE AIR EXPELLED DURING DRYINGProject ID: EE./00111/87
Gefördert unter:
Gesamtkosten:EUR 432 904
EU-Beitrag:EUR 173 161
Koordiniert in:France
Thema(en):3.4 - INDUSTRY
Finanzierungsprogramm:DEM - Demonstration contracts
To substitute an annual consumption of 1 300 000 El.E kilowatts-hour to an annual consumption of 3 900 000 fossilized kilowatts-hour (390 TEP per year) in a hospital-laundry whose production amounts 5 tons in a day, by the way of recuperating the latent and sensitive heat contained in the mixture of air and steam which is expelled during drying through the exchanging and condensing "ECOSPIR'. The latter raises the temperature of the washing-water to two points (40 and 65 C) by producing steam in the decentralized electric boilers with instantaneous expansionless return of the condensates by gravity ("DIRECT G" systems).
The "ECOSPIR" and "DIRECT G" systems are innovative and patented. They are capable of being turned to account in many industrial sectors.
The hospital laundry of MULHOUSE treats 5.8 tons of linen per day, that is to say 1,508 tons over the year 1991.
According to traditional processes, its consumption of gas should amount to 4,524,000 kilowatts-hour per year and its expenses about 1,628,610 FF per year (including redemption and maintenance costs).
The working up of both innovations should allow to bring the consumption of heat (as electric power) down to 1,508,00 kilowatts hour per year opposite to a cost of about 1,568,320 FF per year (including redemption and maintenance costs).
This results in a financial economy of 60,320 FF/year.
In the industry heat is generally used to create conditions of temperature or changes in states. The real useful temperature often represents a minor part of the total consumed energy. This is particularly the case in a traditional laundry in which a central oil or gas-fuelled power-station produces the quantity of steam which is necessary for heating and which expels outside an average amount of 15 000 m3 of 85 deg. air and 450 kilograms of drying steam per ton of treated linen. Such installations that generate important heating powers (3 500 kilowatts per ton in an hour) have an average ratio of thermic energy amounting 3 000 kilowatts hour per ton; 40 % of them are rejected with the water or with the air and 60 % of them are lost in the chimney-stalk or through radiance. The aim of the project is to put into operation two innovations which allow a reducing of 70 % of the powers and the consumptions of heat in a laundry by decentralization of the production of steam and by permanent reversal of the changes of states (i.e. the production of steam and the drying cycle) and by suppression of all air-rejections outside.
The decentralization of the production of steam is realized with independent or circuit supplied electric generators. The generators which are situated close to and beneath the producting machines are linked to them without important loss of charges which allows the condensates to return instantly through simple pipes to each generator without expansion (according to the "DIRECT G" system). It allows to save as much as 30 % (the reevapoation and the purifiers having been eliminated) to which must be added the saving of the network (10 %) and the chimney-stalks (15 %), say a total economy of 55 % regardless of the power and inertia savings according to the decentralization.
At an average temperature of 85 % (air and steam besides) the drying machines reject 15 to 20 % of the whole heat which is consumed in a traditional process. The "ECOSPIR"exchangers ensure the total conservation of this energy which is partly reused (as hot air) on the machines, most of it by condensation of the drying-steam which produces during washing sufficient quantities of 40 deg and 65 deg water from alimentary 10 deg water.
This allows to save 55 + 15 = 70 % of the energy; more over the reutilization brings an increase of 20 to 30 % of power and speed of produce.

Angelic Forecast from Volcano ~ April 2, 2012
Weekly Angelic Forecast from Volcano
Straight from the Carnal Cherub himself...
Angelic Forecast ~ #187
This week, those who FEAR freedom and courage -- THOSE who fear any act of goodness, or anyone with a good heart -- THEY now rise like leviathan serpents.
One of their primary 'divide and conquer' weapons against us *the people*, will be fostering race wars and class wars worldwide. These 'soulless ones' will attempt to light these 'wars' like bush fires in order to loose a firestorm of horror and chaos planet-wide. For, THEY must complete their evil endgame by the end of 2012 -- so they believe.
To this endgame, draconian measures against humanity will escalate. At the same time, LOVE and FREEDOM will soar on the wings of the angels lifting everyone toward a greater destiny. This destiny belongs to you. Grab hold and don't let go.
THE TRICKSTER force is one of the driving energies for the month of April. This will instigate the Rise of the Rabbit Tricksters. This means the population will align with their inner dragon strength, and learn how to deceive the jackboot system in effective ways. Thus, as oppression grows it will be met with clever opposition.
One such opposition is the mushroom-springing up of local script, or local currencies. New ways to trade and barter among ourselves will be discovered, and will be the salvation of many in these upcoming times.
At this time, another great division comes about on our world. There will be those who grow-up to the current diabolical reality, and take immediate action for the sake of themselves and their loved ones. Others will remain in a state of arrested development, choosing to believe in a kindergarten-like world as presented to them by big media.
On the economic front, the sins of the giant corporations will continue to be revealed at a rapid pace. This week there will also be a major push to bring about a 'one world' banking system. This will be done by making all of us believe this is the ONLY solution. It's not.
On the truth front, the 'paranormal' and UFOs are likely to be in the spotlight. Also, the real truth about humanity's ancient heritage ascends like a rocket ship. However, this truth will only be available to those who truly want it, and who will now begin to live in accordance. As well, many more of us will begin to see beyond the lies of the evil powers-that-be.
On the war front, games will continue to be played behind the scenes by the BIG CORP BOYS and GIRLS. New deals will be made, and the drums will pound faster and even louder. Every effort will be made to instill larger doses of FEAR into the populace at large. BEWARE!
On the AWAKENING front, the medical industry will be under heavy scrutiny by 'the people'. The high level of corruption will become more apparent to All, and this awareness will spread like wildfire. So-called alternative treatments will soon become the norm for many.
On the personal front, watch for the 'trickster' or the deceiver. This could be anyone who crosses your path, or anyone in your life, even those you have trusted in the past. At this time, con games will begin to permeate society as people look for ways to survive financially. Also, those professions who were trusted without question before, will be rejected by more and more people as knowledge of their deception sweeps across society -- via our Aquarian connection with each other.
On the food front, look for bargains that allow you to stock up, and those of you who garden, plant while the sun shines -- plant as many food plants as you are able. This will be crucial to us all.
On the land changes front, strangeness rules. Explosions and odd sounds that are not being explained will likely continue. Mother Earth is changing her appearance because it is time. In concert with the powerful vibes of the sun, Mr. Sol, she will keep creating Herself anew.
On the really bad news front, look for a rise in false-flag events across the globe.
Trendwise, The Quantum Launch Point is here. From now on 'time' and the days, the months, will speed by so fast, it will feel like a series of quantum leaps and launches.
What to do? Ride the dragon energy whenever you can, when it serves you in your life. And when you aren't able to ride this fierce energy, it advisable to stay out of the way.
At this point in history, the world will be changing at super-speed. Both, for the good and the bad. And, by the WILL of the people.
Know this: by the end of 2012 the world will be far different. Look for ways to assist the good changes. As well, look for opportunities in the market place to sell your products, your services, your talents, and your knowledge.
This is a week to raise your voice in song by yourself, or with others. Let your soul sing with every good thing you encounter.

Red and Brown
Wearing: Jean Paul Gaultier for Target leather jacket, Zara dress, Hue tights, H&M shoes, Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, Dulapul Bunicii headband
One of my favorite pieces to wear this spring is the new Jean Paul Gaultier leather jacket. Love all the top stitching details on the elbow sleeves. Reminds me of his trademark bustiers! Expect to see this jacket a lot more! I have also realized that the majority of my tights are from Hue. I must say they have the best quality ever in comparison to their price. Truly opaque with high denier count!

In the mood for sushi
One of my best friends, Joelle has come back from London for a short visit. We were all in the mood for sushi so we went to Aki. Apparently sushi is really bad in London. Actually, I think probably in most of Europe. I haven't heard one European say they have had good sushi back home.
I wore on our lunch date: Anna Sui for Target dress with belt, Jimmy Choo for H&M faux-fur vest,Hue tights, Payless boots, Zara bag.
My friend Jess who is one of Faboulista's biggest fans. She wore: 3:1 Phillip Lim dress and Aldo bag.

Minnie is a nickname I'm constantly given by people due to the fact that I'm small and also because my real name closely resembles Minnie's name. So it's no wonder that I feel Minnie Mouse is a very special character.

Metallic Leggings
A wonderful editorial shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Pigott for W Magazine in 2004. I love how even 6 years later, this editorial is still so current and fresh. I definitely need to add metallic leggings to my shopping list.
I know I have been MIA this week. I apologize for that. It's that time of the year again where I am job searching. It also doesn't help that final exams start next week. Anyways, hope this year it will all work out!

Vintage weekend
Wore: vintage dress, Balenciaga Fall 09 pumps, Forever 21 coat, Honey Room Sunglasses, Aldo belt
It seems like this past weekend I wore only vintage. Maybe because I so wish I could have attended the Bucharest V for Vintage event so I just pretened that I was there through my vintage outfits.

Golden Gypsy
Wearing: vintage sequined bolero, skirt and camisole,no brand shoes,bangles from Little India
I love Gypsies.I'm probably one of the only Romanians who can say that. Although there is a lot of controversy regarding them I just adore their traditional culture. My mother always teases me that maybe I was swapped by mistake as a gypsy baby in the hospital because it seems I relate to their culture way too much. Anyways, this is my take on the gypsy costume.

Last night I had a revelation. I finally realized that I don't need Electrik Avenue. And when i woke up and saw Nookie's comment telling me that it's confusing switching between the two I realized that my revelation is right. As I previously said I needed Electrik as a work of reference with my best outfits. My perfectionist part of me was maybe ashamed of my beginning outfit posts where the photo quality was not that great and the outfits were on the boring side.I think for about half a year I was contemplating starting a new blog but the idea seemed irrational.Finally I just decided to put it into action against all common sense.Never though about what's gonna happen to my followers , how will i juggle two blogs and so forth. Throughout Easter weekend I was revisiting some of my favorite style bloggers and starting looking back till their early posts. And I finally realized that not even the best style bloggers like Alix and Jane, did not have it right from the beginning. And that's when I realized that the purpose of a style blog is to observe the style evolution one goes through as time passes by. We are all young girls and it is normal not to have a definite style yet. That's what the blogs are about, searching for it through experimentation. And so it hit me that I should be proud of my earlier posts as they show my style evolution and how I slowly started to take more risks with my clothes.
Therefore, Elecktrick will be no more. Instead I will make some changes to Faboulista to make it more pleasing for moi.
So here it is the new outfit that was on Electrick.
Dress: Anna Sui for Target
Coat: Forever 21
Tights: Hue
Boots: Payless
Gloves: Target
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

The End of the Line For the Call-Letter Deficient Radio Station Once and For All
I acknowledged an in-house prank perpetrated by a rogue morning producer for the call-letter deficient radio station mired deep in the abyss.
By doing so I gave ammunition to the producer's gullible assembly, some of whom bought the idea of the producer's attempt to discredit me and this site.
The actions perpetrated by the individual speaks more about the person, the employer and some of its workforce. I was just an innocent bystander. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint, the "ruse" or "dupe", whatever you want to call it, didn't work because had it I would have reported it but no such e-mail nor phone call ever made it here to 415 Media. Even so, the perpetrator told numerous colleagues about her "plot" including a management person, at least two on-air talk hosts and news people. After careful consideration I'm purposefully not going to name names because by doing so I would only add credence to a rogue employee who clearly crossed the line. I'll let the Cloud Company and its albatross outlet deal with their own internal affairs--it's not my duty nor would it be in the best interests of this site to provide this person any more attention then they deserve. Jobs could be on the line too.
I will say this: the fact that an employee; someone with a high-profile position albeit behind the scenes, would stoop to such a level of gross inappropriate professional and personal behavior speaks for itself.
I've been spending quite a bit of time to try to figure out, in detail, just how the whole affair evolved and after careful consideration and in lieu of the attempted ruse of this site, have decided to advance the following ...
1. From now on I will no longer refer nor report on the albatross station in question. Most of you know their name and what they stand for. Frankly, they have become irrelevant in the market and continue down the slope of hopelessness. Even in their impending re-incarnation back to some element of talk, they will never, ever be anywhere near the legacy status they were once revered by the industry both here in the Bay Area and beyond.
2. None of their hosts, on-air news talent or management --not any individual employed by the outlet will be mentioned, reported or acknowledged unless it involves something unique and/or newsworthy.
3. To you, my readers, the majority of which used to be loyal and ardent followers of the station, this act demonstrates once and for all how they feel about you and your friends and family. Furthermore, to their advertisers, the few remaining morsels, this act only solidifies why they cannot literally give away any commercial spots. Free spots! Knowing what I know now, I understand why.
Finally, there are some really good people over there, most of whom have flooded the market with resumes. They work under the most challenging of conditions, from the newsroom to the sales dept. and even in the back offices. Recently, one of the most loyal and tenured managers quit in disgust after too many cases of internal strife. She wasn't the first and won't be the last. You can only take so much.
I believe in karma. Been there before. Good and bad. I have leveled some snarly verbal attacks directed toward the station, some of its personnel including the morning mattress salesperson, a few news people and producers --all done so publicly by me, my name right above the mast of this site--never once have I leveled suck attacks anonymously either here or on message boards like Google Groups. I can't say the same for some of the worker bees at the call-letter deficient station; a company that cannot even pay for one of its "entertainers" to fly up to the Bay Area and take part in some sort of radio carnage called a debate; a company that willfully hires 4th-tier "comedians" out of town, out of market to take part in a weekend circus with outsourced yahoos pretending to sound "local" when in fact, they're in Dallas. If it weren't so serious and sad it would be highly laughable. Wait, it is!
The theatre of unintended absurdity. A broadcast observer told me there's a line about the station: that it's become the French Foreign Legion of radio stations-- a virtual assembly line of mercenaries who'll do anything to get on the air. Only the FFL pays better and has more talent than the call-letter deficient outlet.

If CNN hadn't given TMZ credit for running the Donald Sterling story, then put Anderson Cooper on the case by non-stop following the story-in-development, Sterline would still be owner of the Clippers. Once the inside story was revealed relentlessly, Sterling stands to make $2-billion and the NBA, through the likes of Mark Cuban, is now looking even greedier and foolish. Why? Racism is more rampant than reported.
Stay on the KGO story as it develops and involves. Hold their feet to the fire. If they don't like it, they can always deny it here. Thing is, they haven't denied it.
You win. Keep on!

Let me agree, and amplify, on the comments made by 10:51, 11:01 & 11:04. You seriously need to reconsider this statement - "1. From now on I will no longer refer nor report on the albatross station in question." Yes, it's your personal blog, but as long as you use it as one of the best sources for 415 media, you really cannot ignore this station and others. Don't let them and other stations, control the information. Keep it coming, no matter what the result. The truth will set you free, and keep you the real winner!ReplyDeleteReplies

History shows when Rich says "KGO is awful" he gets more comments than any other topic. I think Rich will pick himself up, dust off his fedora, spank a toasted bacon and tomato sandwich (mayo on the side please) and then climb back into the ring.ReplyDelete
I appreciate the change of course here, Rich. I like when you report stories, and how they're ever evolving. What I don't like is when it starts to get personal between you, them, and us. That's when this delves into a nonsensical page that I stop visiting.ReplyDelete
A lot of people posting here seem to be missing the mark, or maybe it's me. You seem to be saying that you're going to report on the news about that station, but not get muddied and muddled when discussing that station, or any other? If that's the case I look forward to the change. To think that people over there at KGO tried to trick you says a lot about where their focus is these days, but I cannot imagine you are surprised by such efforts.
I am done posting anonymously on this page because I notice the most vile comments come from those people. Time for people to start putting a name on their posts or they're no different from those trying to trick Rich.

In that you, may not be close to the situation with Rich and KGO, that's ok. I disagree with you. A blogger, reporter, commenter, whomever, does not open Pandora's box, then, back away in a public way.
As you correctly stated, this story about those now "called out" without Rich not having to mention names proves the story is evolving.
When outsiders hit close to home, then, interesting things happen. The story has moved on, but not out. This story has even better legs. The "alleged dupe" to Rich is one thing, but the story has evolved to show the inner workings of what was a great radio station. If Rich chooses not to be involved in investigating, that's ok. It's his blog. However, for those being treated like POW's inside 55 Hawthorne, they've lost their voice if he doesn't participate in what he, largely, started by posting in the first place.
To walk away taking, as he said, "The higher road" is a little late after others, including Rich, who has regularly decimated others here for yeaars. It's the pot calling the kettle black at times, here.
Rich doesn't have to keep covering the story that was focused on him. He's tripped over developing stories, now, it will continue through conclusion. It's about what's going on in 55 Hawthorne and how the audience(s) of Cumulus and their employees are being playing a sandbox game.
Am I close to the situation? Yes. Do I know people involved? Yes. So does Rich. Rich should reach the mountain top rather than step up to it halfway, then quit -- or, he should have not stirred interest early on, This is now a different story, with more "developing." To be silenced is a disservice to the blog audience, to employees and to those in the dysfunction known as Cumulus Media / KGO - KSFO - KNBR - KFOG - KSAN - KFGG - 1050 - etc.
Should there be changes? Yes. Should Karel be fired for is big mouth about the internal goings on that come out of HIS mouth? Yes. Should David Weintraub stop his rants (inside story)and apologize to Rich for raking him through the coals on the air for 30 minutes? YES.
The names already revealed here by others, and accurately, are true. If Rich wants to bow out, he bows out. He'll hop back stuff happens. However, he misses the boat by just walking away from what he, initially, started.
I know Rich, personally. He's a good man and I, for one of many, have unmercifully blasted him both anonymously and openly to him. I consider him a friend and a talent to be dealt with. Continue the battle here on this developing story. There's lots of "grunt work" going on to bring you the truth and facts.
Just remember, Rich can spot a phony poster a mile away and he retains that right. Everyone else, go for it and keep the story alive here. You desere it.
Weintraub, you're a f***head for doing what you did on air. and off in your no-comment blog. You have no reason to be at KGO you two-bit hot headed prick. I WILL call you out. Thanks. The fun is just beginning as the rats scatter at Cumulus Media.

"The higher road" is a little late after the cat's out of the bag.
Rich who has regularly pounded others for good reason, on this story. Stopping now would, I feel, be a disservice.
There are developing stories, now. There is interest in KGO.
Cumulus and some employees are playing sandbox games and not good radio. The names already revealed here and accurately, are true. I hope Rich doesn't walk away from exposing these morons.
Weintraub, you're a f***head for what you did on air. and off in your no-comment blog. You have no reason to be at KGO you two-bit hot headed prick. The rats scamper at Cumulus Media.
Rich, please delete my 1:57 post with apologies. My bad.

My radio show allows for phone calls.
You just can't be completely anonymous in either, like you can here.
But if one of us has to be gutless I'm certainly glad it's you.
What happens on this website cannot hurt/affect me.
I wish Rich the best of luck in accomplishing his goal, whatever it may be, and uncovering whatever it is he sets out to uncover.
Cumulus doesn't monitor the computer usage of its employees at KGO. Whomever said that is lying, delusional, or both.
Good luck to y'all.

Comment enmasse here. Rich reads every post he allows published and those that don't get published. Just say "Yes, continue the story and it's evolvement," Or, say, "No, this story was nothing when it came up whit the allegation it was a "dupe" and the story has died completely. Print nothing more about KGO. Then, as posters go away from the story, then, let Rich decide what to do. Does he get that the evolving story is not about him, now? It's about how a media corporation is working and treating its few too elitest employees who are making noise. This goes for you, Mel Baker, as well.

Here's some information on two of the people Rich has issues with.ReplyDelete
Rene Bakos is a good for nothing sk@nk who should never been hired back here. She conned all the new management of this place saying she was an executive or something for Huckabee in Dallas at their Cumulus station there when really she was a call screener and lackey. We cannot believe that no one checked her references. If so they would have the real story of why she "left" KGO a decade ago when she was barely a part timer. When she was hired here to replace Jared it was evident from day one that she does not have good radio sense and that she barely knew how to run the board. at least Jared had those 2 things going for him, despite him being an a$$hole. Thats why she was yanked from being Ron's producer. No one can believe she hasn't been let go yet but her actions regarding the claims above if true might just finally push her out the door. One can only hope.
Susan Whynot is a wannabe. She was hired by Jared as a part time producer at KSFO but made enough waves to get a full time job. Somehow management decided to give her a chance. Although she can do the job she has clashed with many people here. not just at KGO but our other stations as well. She thinks shes gods gift to radio when in fact shes lucky to be full time.
God I wish we could go back in time here. Not just for the excellent on air hosts and news people we had, but also for the quality people who used to work in management, marketing and promotions, accounting and even salespeople.Replies

If people here would spend a quarter of the time on trying to make this place a decent news and talk station maybe just maybe our ratings and revenue would increase just a bit. This is happening because we have children who work here pretending that they know what is radio on air, behind the scenes and so forth. I can't even begin to tell you how many sales managers and sales people have come and gone here in the past couple of years because they hire hacks who have no idea what they are doing.

I went out with two of my friends from high school, Pat and Steph, and we were having a high ol' time Saturday night. We were drinking, laughing, talking about the old times, forgetting about the stresses of the holiday season, work vibes. We were just chillin'.
I come home, and tell Mike, "Man, did we have a good time."
To which he replied, "Well, I almost died."
Which ... is kind of a damper. But, I'm a nice person and didn't want to seem selfish. So, instead of ignoring him and telling him about my night, I compassionately asked, "What the HELL?!"
When I left the house, he only had Ryan with him. Cara had spent the day with Alex and Barbara, going to the mall, and going to dinner with them. When she came home, she and Ryan decided to play Connect Four, the game with the checker-like red and black chips.
Well, Ryan apparently figured out a way to beat his big sister on a consistent basis. And then she figured out a way to block him. Then Mike, apparently, decided to help Ryan develop a new strategy. Which got on Cara's nerves, apparently. So, there were Mike and Ryan, having a high ol' time developing Connect Four strategem, laughing at their ingenuity, when Cara just grabbed a bunch of the chips and chucked them at Mike, who for some reason had his head thrown back in laughter, so it was in just the right position to catch a playing piece, which lodged in his throat. Apparently.
Now, the parenting magazines I lived on when Cara was a baby always advised that if you come to find yourself choking to death in front of young children who aren't capable of administering the Heimlich, you're supposed to save your own life by launching your abdomen against something like a chair or the back of a sofa. Mike (who was never one for the baby mags), instead, stood up, and then fell to his knees and turned three shades of blue and then somehow coughed it up. It was all very avant-garde.
Me: "Did Cara even try dialing 911?"
Mike: "I don't know."
Me: "How long were you choking?"
Mike: "Twenty seconds. Ten seconds. I don't know."
Me: "Were they upset, or trying to help?"
Mike: "I think they were laughing. Until I fell down."
Oh, yes. While my friends and I were yukking it up, Mike was chuckin' it up. Buon appetito!
