Friends and family know that Herlinda Heras can cook. Now the questions is how will she stack up to the competition in KOFY's new cooking competition show, The Big Dish?
This long time Rohnert Park resident is pretty well known for her love of cooking along with her ability to whip up amazing meals. She regularly puts her culinary skills to work for charity as she happily auctions off 'homemade themed dinners' for charity fundraisers with Rotary, the 20-30 Club, or the YWCA.
One such auction tipped the scales at over $1200 for an evening enjoying Herlinda's kitchen creations. It should be exciting to see how her prowess translates to a cooking competition.
The Big Dish is a head-to-head cooking competition show on KOFY TV 20 out of the Bay Area. The concept is similar to Chopped where two chefs are pitted against each other and given a certain amount of time to whip up a signature dish. A panel of judges then taste both dishes before deciding on the winner.
The show is hosted by Clark Wolf, who acts as one of the judges. The concept features various locations and notable cooking personalities around the Bay Area. Restaurants such as The Girl in The Fig, The Cliff House, and Lake Chalet will be featured along with their owners.
Herlinda's episode, which premiers December 16 at 9:30 p.m., was filmed in October at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. One of Herlinda's good friends, Jurgen, was a master chef instructor at the CCA and has proudly proclaimed her, 'One of the best home chefs he has ever seen.'
That connection certainly helped make new acquaintances with the master chef instructors at the Academy during filming.
For her episode they started by shopping at Canyon Market in San Francisco and then it was off to the kitchen where she made her go-to dish of 'salmon en papillote' for judges Clark Wolf, Nancy Oaks, and Jarad Gallagher.
These amateur cooks all had to send in videos of themselves cooking in the kitchen. Herlinda's friends from the Bite Club all kept telling her she had to do it so a friend took a short video of her with an iPhone and the next thing she knew the producers were calling to talk to her.
While she might have been a little nervous, it was doubtful that it showed. When it comes to cooking, Herlinda is a natural who started in the kitchen when she was about 4 years old. Her mother and father had a big influence on her and felt that learning how to cook was an important part of life.
Her dad was a career Navy man and Herlinda grew up as a Navy brat with roots all over the place. Twice she lived on the base in Novato and still as quite a few friends in the area from her childhood.
While her mom worked with more traditional Spanish and Italian fare that matched her background, her dad would make Korean BBQ and her family was eating sushi before it was a trendy choice. From there her love of all things culinary continued.
She made her first Thanksgiving dinner when she was 11 at Hamilton Air Force Base. Part of the reason she became so good at it was that her mom allowed her to do and try so many things in the kitchen. As a result, not only is she fabulous in the kitchen, but both of her daughters are pretty good cooks as well.
Her youngest, Autumn, attends the Ranch in Rohnert Park while her oldest is becoming quite the accomplished photographer along with attending the SF IEC.
Along with loving food, Herlinda loves to travel and has been all over the U.S. and parts of Europe. Last year she was in Spain, Paris, and London where of course she had to visit Anthony Bourdain's favorite spot, St. John.
So what else does Herlinda do when not cooking for friends and family? Her current career involves being an agent for New York Life where a big focus is providing long-term health care insurance. In the past she was an ambulance driver and one thing she noted was the number of women in care facilities not always receiving the best care after spending their lives caring for others.
She is also a founding member of the Rancho-Cotati Rotary, is an active member of the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce, helps the local YWCA, and generally volunteers her time and energy to any local opportunity that needs it.
This year she worked with Lagunitas and the RP 50th Anniversary. She also organized a tour for the US War Naval College this last October and will be helping organize another for this January.
At first glance this would seem to be a far cry from her days at Sonoma State University getting a degree in biology, but Herlinda feels it is related because, "Cooking is like a science."
I for one will be rooting for her to win when her episode airs on the 16th this month. If you want to get a firsthand experience of her culinary expertise you can check out the local fundraisers and put in a bid on her 'dinner prizes' or just stop by the Chamber's Crab Feed on January 5th at the Community Center.

This machine, while looking super cool, is not worth the money. I think I got it for 70-80 dollars, then had to buy a better dehumidifier for like $300. Air and Water is a great company. If you are looking for a dehumidifier, you'll be happy to have just bought the bigger one from them, and not his dinky model.

Where do America's wealthiest retirees live? According to the 2012 Bloomberg Rankings list of cities with the wealthiest older residents, the Seattle suburb of Hunts Point comes out on top.
It's hard to believe that the nation's wealthiest retirees would choose rain boots and umbrellas over beach blankets and sun screen, but this little peninsula – which was originally a camping ground for the Sammamish Indian tribe -- has been an attraction to the area's wealthiest since being incorporated in 1955.
Why it makes sense is because founders and top executives from nearby companies have made it their home. As a matter of fact, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer and McCaw Cellular co-founder Craig McCaw both live in Hunts Point.
With just over 400 residents, Hunts Point had an average household retirement income of $200,431 in 2010; 20.98 percent of the town's population is age 65 or older.
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, most Hunts Point residences sit on at least an acre of land. It is one of 23 cities on the Bloomberg list with median housing values of more than $1 million.
Hunts Point is the only Washington state city to make Bloomberg's list of the wealthiest retirement towns. New York and California each have seven towns on the list.
For retirees looking for slightly less exclusive places to retire, Traverse City, Mich., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Portland, Ore., were among northern U.S. cities making CNN-Money's list of 25 Best Places to Retire. Median home prices in each of those cities is $195,000, $259,000 and $272,000, respectively.
For seniors in search of a little warmth, the CNN-Money report gives high marks to Southwestern cities including Tucson, Ariz., (median home price $148,000) and Albuquerque, N.M. ($174,000).
The report praises Tucson's 350 days of sun and easy access to sites of historical and cultural significance. Albuquerque's diverse landscape, with the Rio Grande River near downtown and the Sandia Mountains to the east, won it major points.

Louis Jadot's 2002s
Jadot has long been one of the most reliable names in Burgundy, one of the few negociants to have a reputation for quality, especially in reds, that goes back years and years and years, largely thanks to the effort put in by head winemaker Jacques Lardière. As one might expect, their range of 2002s is impressive, showing good distinction between different crus, the hallmark of this vintage. (I suspect that 2003s will express the characteristics of this exceptional vintage much more forcefully than they will express geographical distinction.) As usual, reds stand out more than whites.

Review by Scott Weinberg
One of the tag lines for Sony's "Spider-Man 3" reads: "How long can any man fight the darkness ... before he finds it in himself?" Well, it sure sounds nifty and all that, but that question doesn't come remotely close to describing what goes on in this movie. The simple truth is that, after two movies and tons of profit, the "Spider-Man" series seems to be running on fumes. And to imply that there's any true "darkness" to be found in this second sequel, well, that's kind of a joke. (You don't mess up a profit-maker like "Spider-Man 3" by incorporating actual "darkness" into the proceedings, that's for sure.) The long-discussed subplot of how Spidey turns "dark" is treated here like a casual subplot, a minor story point that exists only to waste some time in between the too-few action sequences.
As much as I adore the first two "Spider-Man" movies, warts and all, there's little denying that the third entry is on "auto-pilot" on the way, stuck as it is with too many villains and, strangely, not nearly enough for each one to do. There's also the romance stuff that director Sam Raimi is addicted to, the omnipresent "life lessons" for Aunt May to dole out (as reliable as a white-haired alarm clock), and a lot more "you killed my father!" whining from Spidey's former best friend. The first two films in this series were fast-paced, streamlined, breezy. "Spider-Man 3," on the other hand, is lumbering, clunky, and outrageously episodic. It feels more like four mini-movies wedged (uncomfortably) together instead of a cohesive whole that flows smoothly from one scene to the next. And while the flick's got tons of things in its corner, the simple truth is that, this time around, the story kinda stinks. (Or it would if there actually WERE a story.)
All you need to know is this: Peter Parker is still loopy for Mary Jane Watson, and these days his arachnid alter-ego is enjoying some well-earned popularity. Petulant Harry is still bent out of shape regarding Spidey's fatal altercation with his father ... or at least he is until the poor sap is afflicted with a plot device older than "Gilligan's Island" itself: Harry has amnesia, and therefore (conveniently) forgets how much he hates Spider-Man. And then as soon as the screenplay needs him to remember, voila, he does. (This is a perfect encapsulation of the screenplay's aimlessness: A rote and tired plot device dissolved with no sense of logic or story rhythm. Harry's story, like all the other sub-stories, just sort of crops up at random, with no concern for stuff like narrative flow or pacing.) Sloppily-written is what "Spider-Man 3" is, and it sure isn't edited like a dream either: Seemingly important characters simply vanish for 40-minute stretches,
goofy coincidences loom around every corner, certain sequences end just as they seem to be warming up, and central characters change their minds, allegiances, and motivations with no warning and for only the most ham-fisted of reasons. "Spider-Man 3" is the first film in the series I'd choose to describe as "sloppy," and given the money and talent behind this series, that's one serious disappointment.
Although it's certainly not a BAD movie (I doubt that Sam Raimi could make a truly bad movie with these resources at his disposal), the simple truth is that it's a pretty darn boring one. You'd think that a movie stuffed with genetically mutated "sand men," evil "symbiotes" from another galaxy, bomb-throwing techno-goblins on hoverboards, and a man-sized spider-hero would be anything but boring, but Raimi and his team of screenwriters focus WAY too much on random dollops of generally inert melodrama. Meanwhile, normally patient movie geeks like me suffer through scene after scene of unconvincing soap operettas wondering "Dude, where's the action already?"
That's not to say I can't get behind some solid melodrama. The first two Spidey-flicks were stuffed to the gills with soul-searching, unrequited love, and some emotional subtext that elevated the films well beyond that of mindless escapism. This time around, however, Raimi puts way too many eggs in his emo basket and the result is a 140-minute movie that somehow feels twice that long. The action sequences are great, Tobey Maguire is still a lot of fun in the title role, and the villains are certainly colorful enough (when they're allowed onscreen, that is), but it's very disappointing to note that "SM3" is just another case of big-budget wheel-spinning at its most expensive and profitable.
Oh, and the whole "Spidey fights himself" schpiel? Ends up being a few goofy dance scenes and a handful of amusing struts through New York City. Hell, not even the villains are allowed to be "evil" in these movies, so there's no freaking way that Sony would ever allow Spider-Man to go well and truly "dark" -- which makes me wonder why they even bothered with this line of plotting in the first place. Flashy, diverting, and very entertaining in fits and starts, "Spider-Man 3" is also far and away the clumsiest, driest, and most confused flick in the series. It's certainly not terrible, but it sure isn't great, either. And given what came before, it sure as heck should have been.

When baby is just below your nipple, she'll dig her chin into your breast, reach up with an open mouth and attach to your breast. This might happen very quickly. Support baby behind her shoulders and bring her bottom in closer to your body.
When baby's mouth is wide open, bring baby to your breast. Aim the nipple at the roof of his mouth. Keep your hands across his back and shoulders. When he attaches, a large amount of the areola will be in his mouth. His chin will be tucked into the breast.
When baby is feeding well, he'll suck deeply and regularly. You'll hear him swallowing.
It's normal to feel a 'stretching sensation' when baby starts sucking. If it hurts, it could mean that baby isn't correctly attached.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Kenny Kadji scored 12 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to keep No. 3 Miami perfect in Atlantic Coast Conference play after a 45-43 victory over Clemson on Sunday night.
The Hurricanes (21-3, 12-0) finished with their fewest points of the season, and their high-scoring guard duo of Durand Scott and Shane Larkin were a combined 3-of-16 shooting for 10 points. Still, Miami pulled out its 13th straight victory on Kadji's wide-open 3.
Clemson (13-12, 5-8) had three chances to answer back, but Rod Hall was called for an offensive foul on one trip and, after Trey McKinney Jones made a foul shot, Hall missed a layup and K.J. McDaniels failed on a tip.
Freshman Jordan Roper had a career-high 19 points for the Tigers. Devin Booker added 10 points and 11 rebounds.
No. 4 Michigan 79, Penn St. 71: Trey Burke scored a season-high 29 points and freshman Glen Robinson III matched a career high with 21 to help Michigan bounce back from an embarrassing defeat with a victory over Penn State.
The Nittany Lions (8-17, 0-13) led by as many as eight in the first half.
No. 9 Arizona 68, Utah 64: Mark Lyons scored 18 points, freshman Brandon Ashley added 10 in a reserve role and Arizona defeated Utah to snap a two-game skid.
Arizona led by as many as 13 early in the second half only to see the Utes respond with a 14-3 run to tie it at 51 with 7:28 remaining on Jason Washburn's tip-in.
Jarred DuBois had 16 points, Washburn 15 and Jeremy Olsen 12 for the Utes (11-14, 3-10), who have yet to win back-to-back conference games since joining the Pac-12 two years ago.
No. 12 Lousville 59, South Florida 41: Russ Smith scored 15 points and Louisville stayed within a game of first place in the Big East with a lopsided victory over South Florida.
Smith, Wayne Blackshear and Kevin Ware did all the scoring for the Cardinals during a 22-3 run in the first half. Smith finished with six rebounds and four assists for Louisville (21-5, 9-4), which has won four of five.

Capital Flows, Contributor
Guest commentary curated by Forbes Opinion. Avik Roy, Editor.
By Carrie Lukas
Holidays are sometimes moved for the convenience of the calendar. Each year, Americans celebrate George Washington's birthday on the third Monday of February – not on his actual birthday, which is February 22 – to ensure that the public has a long weekend. Yet the logic behind declaring Tuesday, April 17, "Equal Pay Day" as the feminist movement has dubbed it, is increasingly flawed.
Equal Pay Day is supposed to represent the day that women have finally earned enough to make up for last year's wage gap. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, full-time working women earned 81 percent of what full-time working men earned in 2010 (the most recent data available), leaving a "gap" of 19 percent between the sexes. But that means to make up for that "under-payment," women would have to work through March 10. So we are celebrating Equal Pay Day more than a month late.Yet the mistaken logic of Equal Pay Day goes deeper than this simple calculation. Equal Pay Day presumes that the difference between men and women's average earnings stems from discrimination, as President Obama suggested in his official proclamation last year: "I call upon all Americans to recognize the full value of women's skills and their significant contributions to the labor force, acknowledge the injustice of wage discrimination, and join efforts to achieve equal pay."
The wage gap statistic, however, doesn't compare two similarly situated co-workers of different sexes, working in the same industry, performing the same work, for the same number of hours a day. It merely reflects the median earnings of all men and women classified as full-time workers.
The Department of Labor's Time Use Survey, for example, finds that the average full-time working man spends 8.14 hours a day on the job, compared to 7.75 hours for the full-time working woman. Employees who work more likely earn more. Men working five percent longer than women alone explains about one-quarter of the wage gap.
There are numerous other factors that affect pay. Most fundamentally, men and women tend to gravitate toward different industries. Feminists may charge that women are socialized into lower-paying sectors of the economy. But women considering the decisions they've made likely have a different view. Women tend to seek jobs with regular hours, more comfortable conditions, little travel, and greater personal fulfillment. Often times, women are willing to trade higher pay for jobs with other characteristics that they find attractive.
Men, in contrast, often take jobs with less desirable characteristics in pursuit of higher pay. They work long hours and overnight shifts. They tar roofs in the sun, drive trucks across the country, toil in sewer systems, stand watch as prison guards, and risk injury on fishing boats, in coal mines, and in production plants. Such jobs pay more than others because otherwise no one would want to do them.
Unsurprisingly, children play an important role in men and women's work-life decisions. Simply put, women who have children or plan to have children tend to be willing to trade higher pay for more kid-friendly positions. In contrast, men with children typically seek to earn more money in order to support children, sometimes taking on more hours and less attractive positions to do so.
Academics can debate why men and women make these different choices. The important takeaway, however, is that there are many reasons that men and women on average earn different amounts. It's a mistake to assume that "wage gap" statistics reflect on-the-job discrimination.
Women have many reasons to celebrate today. Women are increasingly taking on leadership roles in businesses around the world. Technology is increasingly creating more flexible work arrangements, creating new options for parents to combine work and family life. Women are excelling academically (earning far more college degrees than men). Given that the economy tends to place a premium on education, we can expect women to contribute (and earn!) more in the future.
Feminists may protest, but American women aren't the victims of a sexist economy. It's time to declare an end to the Equal Pay Day myth.
Carrie Lukas is the managing director of the Independent Women's Forum.
Great article.
Logical analysis of a statistic that has been misleading to both men and women.
It is important to differentiate between the unadjusted (also known as raw) wage gap and the adjusted (also known as discriminatory or unexplained) wage gap. The unadjusted or raw pay gap does not take into account differences in personal (e.g., age, education, the number of children, job tenure and occupation) and workplace characteristics (e.g., the economic sector and place of employment) between men and women. Parts of the raw pay gap can be attributed to the fact that women, for instance, tend to engage more often in part-time work and tend to work in lower paid industries. The remaining part of the raw wage gap that cannot be explained by variables that are thought to influence pay is then referred to as the adjusted gender pay gap and is interpreted as being discriminatory.
You can't find a wage gap without 'adjusting' the numbers. There is'nt one. Fudging numbers and crying foul over money is only going to ruin your credibility, that is why I avoid using statistics in argument.
Credibility with people who don't understand numbers, maybe. The adjustments described here address exactly the issues mentioned in this article, so it's a relevant remark in a discussion between two people who DO understand the numbers. For what it's worth, you ruined your credibility with me when you told me you prefer to base your arguments on guesswork rather than reality.
The rejection of guesswork is the reason I don't use statistics.
Your assumption that I prefer 'guesswork' is yours and yours alone.
Credibility is best obtained through specitivity, as such one may note that Wallmart likes to short their labor on wages, hence the use of sexism to short the wages of thier female workers.
The problem with statistics is that they depend on amalgamated data, the amalgamation of which destroys the specitivity that made the data usefull to begin with.
you are correct
To cite Wikipedia
"The raw wage gap data shows that a woman would earn roughly 73.7% to 77% of what a man would earn over their lifetime. However, when controllable variables are accounted for, such as number of children, and the frequency at which unpaid leave is taken, in addition to other factors, The U.S. Department of Labor found in 2008 that the gap can be brought down from 23% to between 4.8% and 7.1%.[19] Furthermore, The United States Government Accountability Office found in 2009 that when accounting for diminishing differences in variables including chosen occupation, education, and experience, the variable wage gap among federal workers can be brought to roughly 1-2%."
And to cite me…1-2% is a lark and not worth even discussing.
Nice numbers. I agree with your point. I believe that the wage gap is a spurious assertion. A variety of factors contribute to their being a legitimate wage gap, including the factors you mention as well as the tendency of people who work longer hours to accumulate skills faster, even on a per hour basis, than individuals who work less time. Forgetting simply plays a smaller role in the rate of skill acquisition when you work longer hours. Now, if the hours are only slightly different, than so would the difference in skill acquisition.
However, there are other factors that must be considered. For instance, the medscape Annual Survey on physician compensation shows that male physicians earn more, but they earn more because they see more patients, even when the number of hours is held constant (they spend less time with each patient). This is thus a real income difference, but a justified one on a per hour basis within the existing fee for service system.
You read their mission statement???
And I quote.
"…providing easy-to-read…"
No wonder why they think why equal pay is a myth their constituency are reading challenged.
What a farce.
Easy to read is important for most Americans who have little attention span and absolutely no interest on doing any kind of personal research. If you don't make something monosyllabic enough, it gets dismissed as over-complex and therefore must be a lie (since the reader doesn't understand the words, they must therefore be false.)
Everything should be written by Johnnie Cochran…people seemed to have understood "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." I think the rhyming helped.
For most people, the largest earnings are in the last years of employment, nominally age 55-65. If a woman takes time off to raise children, she will lose out on those years, which will affect lifetime earnings disproportionately.
Since more women than men take time off when children arrive, there is a lifetime earnings deficit for individuals, and a gender deficit at any given time. Bingo – an earnings gap. 'Equal pay day' as described (BLS) is based on a mathematical fallacy.
Hi Carrie Lukas, since you've so artfully explained how there is no such thing as gender discrimination in the workforce and no such thing as pay disparity based on gender, can you please explain to me how a boss once told me, "You don't need that much money," because of my single female status. I always thought it was gender pay discrimination, but since that no longer exists, I hope you can tell me what it really was. Thanks.
That was a greedy ass boss, nothing else. Pay some attention, and you will notice that women are just as greedy, especially the corporate types.
Since you're asking SMSinTexas, that is called anecdotal evidence. There is a difference between "the wage gap is do to factors other than widespread discrimination against women" which is what the author was saying, and "no one in the entire country has ever discriminated against a woman."
bradifier – Thanks for the lesson in what anecdotal means. Here are some lessons for you. Do is a different word entirely than due. Additionally, widespread studies have proven that more than 40% of the gender wage gap is due (not do) to unexplained factors.
If your boss is making statements like that to you, then move on to a different job. If you stay in that environment, it's not the bosses fault and he's not discriminating against you: he just know he can get an employee for possibly less than she's worth. That's just business. You always try to maximize your earnings and minimize your costs (which includes wages). You're not entitled to any pay level because of gender. You're entitled to pay level because of your skills and abilities. If you have worthwhile skills, leave that company and go somewhere where they will be used. If you can't currently move on to a different job because of financial constraints, bear with it for a while and pick up some new skills on the side. Continue to expand your knowledge base and skills and then move on to a more favorable environment or occupation.
Same thing happened to me at a previous employer. I was told I didn't need as much because I was a young single man. They laid me off later and again was told they thought it would be easier for a young single man to bounce back. In this case, it was discrimination based on marriage status.
uh…what? Is that supposed to be an argument?
That could in fact be discrimination, or not. However, it has nothing to do whatsoever with the discussion of whether or not a pay gap exists, since it is nothing but a silly little anecdote that is not even explicitly sexist.
Fact: women get paid less on average for the same job title.
However, the discrepancies are explained by controling for factors such as hours worked per week, length of commute, relocation, etc. Studies that control for more of these factors invariably find the pay gap to get smaller and smaller. The burden of proof is on YOU to prove that the rest is based on discrimination.
It was your boss being a jerk. Appealing to anecdotal evidence does not make you appear clever by the by.
I had a single male co-worker that was told the same thing. Seems both of you were victims of an idiotic boss, not gender discrimination.
"Additionally, widespread studies have proven that more than 40% of the gender wage gap is due (not do) to unexplained factors."
That is an assertion you are going to have to back up by pointing to these "widespread studies". Oh, and since they're "widespread", be sure to find one that isn't authored by a feminist group, particularly one that banks on the gender wage gap to make their money.
Furthermore, "unexplained" is not the same as discrimination, it just means factors not already factored for. Given we can't see the studies, we can't point out the obvious things they likely missed.
When did she say there is "no such thing" as gender discrimination in the workforce or pay disparity based on gender? She said the oft-cited "pay gap" figures are not the result of sex discrimination. Certain the discrimination exists but it's not so widespread as to be the cause of the pay gap. Never married childless women *outearn* their male counterparts, so if anything the pay gap shows men are discriminated against. In reality, when you look at the other factors, it's not a reflection of discrimination period.
That just sounds like what anyone would say during a negotiation. It sounds like a response to an employee seeking a raise. The employee should have responded: "the question is not what I NEED, because let's face it, if that were the question, you shouldn't be getting paid what you are getting paid. Instead, the question is if I'm getting paid as much as I could be getting paid somewhere else, and why on earth I should continue to stay here." However, because the employee either doesn't know how to negotiate for a raise or because the employee has a very weak negotiating position, it's simply easier to cry "discrimination." The employer, however, never said "you can't have a raise BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE RAISES TO WOMEN." See the difference, or do you not want to see the difference?
It may not of been because you were a female, but because the boss in question was just an insensitive dirtbag. He may of had the same response to a single male who asked for more money (I am assuming this was in a response to asking for a pay raise). Just pointing out another view about your question.
You call that discrimanitory on sex?
It's on…"BEING SINGLE!!"
It's still discrimanitory, though.
Just not on gender.
You are responsible for your own financial welfare, if you are worth more than you are being paid than you demand more or get a new job. That is how a free market works, it's pretty simple. I am amazed at how many people think someone else should take care of them.
Be strong!
SMSin, if any woman can prove that she was paid less for the same job, same hours, same responsibilities, same seniority, etc., as a male she would have a prima fascia discrimination case that lawyers would line up to represent.
And since grammar tips are being traded in this thread, I'd like to point out the the the proper phrase for the alleged disparity in pay is "sex discrimination." Gender is A grammatical category used in the classification of nouns, pronouns, adjectives. Humans don't have a gender, they have a sex.
Your boss is an idiot….simple as that. Most bosses understand the importance of pay equity. I worked in hospital with 2,000 employees, and 85% were females. They dominated the higher paying professional jobs and males were paid the SAME as females.
More importantly, see what the news in USA TODAY was 2 years ago: Women ages 22 to 30 with no husband and no kids earn a median $27,000 a year, 8% more than comparable men in the top 366 metropolitan areas, according to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau data crunched by the New York research firm Reach Advisors and released Wednesday. The women out-earn men in 39 of the 50 biggest cities and match them in another eight. The disparity is greatest in Atlanta, where young, childless single women earn 21% more than male counterparts.
Well, when I was single and in my early-mid twenties and asked for a raise my male boss (who had a large family) told me exactly the same thing. So perhaps its not always gender discrimination but instead it is those who have families sometimes feel they are justified in keeping a bigger slice of the pie.
Simple solution. FIND A NEW JOB! Cathy Hughes started her Radio Network EMPIRE because the bosses didn't take her recommendations. THey told "Well, if you know how to run a radio station go start your own." SHE DID. BILLIONS of dollars later, she's glad she left! :D
Well, if your boss said "You don't need that much money" and that is the only quote you can give me and i can just assume that you assumed it was because you were a single female, because you provided no other information, it seems that another explanation was because perhaps your boss didn't think you were doing good enough work to "Need that much money." If you'd care to expand on that quotation then we could figure out whether or not it was gender based discrimination but if you can't then we can just assume you assumed you were being discriminated against and that actually you weren't.
Of course bosses say the same thing to male employees all the time. Because of the inherent superiority of males in the work place, males know not to pay much attention to that, whereas women shy away from conflict and accept it.
The key to making more in the workplace is first to be more productive, and second, to negotiate better. Sometimes negotiation means knowing what your alternatives are. (I say this after 10 years living in LA county and having moved to San Diego county in support of having a better job.
A counterpart of mine is paid less than I. I have many more years of experience than her, one more college degree, and have pioneered some of the advances in my field, which compares well to her 'monkey see monkey do' ability to mimic her coworkers. She is also out on maternity leave.
Anecdote v. anecdote.
errrr, nice try! So a boss told you that and that is why you cry discrimation as if the world is saying the same exact thing your boss is saying every day? Face the fact, you as a woman have benefited from many lies feminists told about men! Maybe it is true you don't need that much money…because you have so much help from the government, in a divorce you get half his paycheck, and are often showered with gifts? And because of your more comfortable lifestyle you tend to live longer than men, so whatever pay gap that you cries about, is due to your poor negotiation skills. You didn't think about that did you huh? Is easy to blame the big bad men isn't it?
SMSinTexas — that doesn't sound sexist, rather it sounds like what someone might say to anyone who only has himself or herself to support as opposed to a family etc
I can't speak for the author, but certainly there are some situations where there is gender discrimination. Yours may be one.
However, the data used by the government, which I've called them directly to ask about (you can, too, if you like. Just call the Bureau of Labor Statistics), confirms what is asserted here: the data does not accurately reflect the complex environment that we now live in regarding wages, gender, and age. In fact, if you look at recent Senate bills from 2013, one states that 59% of the 77 cents/dollar that is so often quoted is due to factors confirmed to be other than gender discrimination. That's 12 cents, making the difference (if you want to still follow that data) 89 cents. But the last 41%, or 11 cents, is unknown. There is no good data that tells us if 1 cent for every dollar is due to discrimination, or 11 cents. It seems likely it's somewhere in the middle.
With regards to your specific complaint? I'm male, and I've been given the same reason for not being given a raise. Had nothing to do with my gender, but did have to do with my being single.
We can debate if that's fair, but bottom line: just because you're a woman and someone doesn't give you what you want, doesn't make it gender discrimination.
And really, that's why the use of the 77/100 number indicating equal pay angers me so much. It's misleading, and gives people the impression that every woman isn't earning what she's worth.
Think about it: if businesses could hire women for 25% less than men, then every woman who wanted to would have a job, because every business cares more about money than anything else.
Are you serious? Are you not aware that this is an average and doesn't not mean that in every single job on this planet men and women are paid equally? Are you really asking the author to account for the wage gap in every single job? Maybe there is another reason why your boss doesn't pay you that much.
I don't think Carrie needs to explain your anecdote. Unfortunately sometimes there are bad bosses out there. I think the same is true at this point for both men and women in the workplace. The pay gap is gone but the bad bosses haven't gone anywhere.
Just a couple questions, and a Comment . . .
Isn't it quite possible that some/many women realize at some point during the first ten years of their careers that the 'glass ceiling' cannot be broken through; and, subsequently quietly accept 'permanence' at a lower rung, even after having traveled extensively, worked long hours, pursued advanced degrees, while working full time and simultaneously caring for children?
Let's face it: The posture of the Greatest Generation Men (women should be pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen) still permeates the Corporate World, albeit to a lesser degree. Fortunately most of the 'sons' of those Greatest Generation Men (Chauvinist Baby Boomers) will be retiring during the next few years. Only then will all women have the same opportunities to climb the corporate ladder.
How vividly I remember my first job in 1978. As a young executive, fresh out of college and the army, I hired the first woman meter reader in the history of an electric utility.
The 'grief' I received from the Old Guard was unbelievable, including one comment by a Senior Vice President, "Are you out of your f**king mind hiring a Broad? She will never last."
By the way, she is about to retire from that company, Green Mountain Power Corporation. (She lasted far longer than I did; I moved on after 5 years.)
Think I'm off base here? Just think back to what a presidential candidate by the name of Santorum was advocating in 2012, not 1912. I really don't know; but, I suspect he finds it objectionable that women are even allowed to vote.
Footnote ~ I'll be voting for Romney. Regardless of what the Liberal Press would have us believe, he probably has a higher level of respect for women than Clinton, McCain, Gingrich, Santorum, Cain, and Obama do . . . Combined ! ! !
You have it all wrong. Two years ago USA Today reported this: Women ages 22 to 30 with no husband and no kids earn a median $27,000 a year, 8% more than comparable men in the top 366 metropolitan areas, according to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau data crunched by the New York research firm Reach Advisors and released Wednesday. The women out-earn men in 39 of the 50 biggest cities and match them in another eight. The disparity is greatest in Atlanta, where young, childless single women earn 21% more than male counterparts.
It is all tied to education….college education. The more female college graduated, the more female professionals, the more their income. It is simple: more education = more salary. Get a degree and earn more than the majority of men!! It is as simple as that.
Gary Johnson is the better choice! :D
that was in 1978… 35 years ago… different times now. santorum is an idiot and was never close to ever becoming president. so glad your buddy romney lost.
That really shut her up doesn't it!
Related to the issue of different work is the fact that many women work in government jobs (e.g. teachers, librarians, etc.) that also include very generous pension formulas and fringe benefits
Since these are not included in tax records of income at the time they are earned, women's pay is often underreported. If fringe benefits were included, it might turn out that the pay gap actually exists the other way – that is, that men earn less.
Good point . . . But do really believe the government will ever compile the data the way you suggested?
If they did, and it was determined women were actually receiving equal (or greater) pay, that would mean jobs by government bureaucrats would no longer be needed to 'enforce' equal opportunity rights.
H m m m . . . Ever hear a government employee suggest his/her job be eliminated?
It is unlikely that this government will produce these figures.
Technically, post retirement benefits that are the same for men and women (e.g. health care COMMITMENTS) are actually far more valuable to women than to men. The same is true with final salary pension schemes, in which employees are provided annuities irrespective of life expectancy upon retirement.
Needless to say, the US government's old age insurance (Social Security and Medicare) tax wages of men and women the same, even though women's benefits are likely to be much, much higher.
All it goes to say is that equal pay should mean just that – equal compensation, regardless of how it is paid out.
In what universe do you imagine a governemnt agency exists to "enforce" women's pay issues?
Men may "tar roofs in the sun" – how bucolic! – but they also hold all but 17 of the CEO positions in the S&P's top 500 companies. Women hold 3% of these most senior roles in corporate America. This does indeed often have to do with women dropping out to raise kids etc, but to use the word "choice" is misleading — as if a man can just quit and have the baby. There are a myriad examples on Wall St and Main St of companies discriminating against women in the prime of their careers (30s, e.g.), worried that they'll go on maternity leave, or not taking them seriously because they have a kid. Too bad that in the U.S., unlike in some more enlightened European countries, child care and maternity/paternity options are few and far between. Until workplaces provide more flexible options for women, this pay and power disparity will remain.
Ms. O'Connor ~
Did you even bother to read any of the other comments (some well thought out), or just choose to ignore them because they don't confirm your perspective?
Your insistence that corporate America take into consideration children, etc. is really quite archaic.
My daughter earns well into six digits (at age 35), has a husband and a 3 year old daughter, and recognized years ago that no one wanted to hear about her challenges as a working mother.
Oh . . . By the way . . . My granddaughter is one of the happiest children I've ever observed.
I strongly encourage you to ask Forbes for a transfer to one of their European offices. You may well find happiness there.
As a spectator i'd say you overestimate the legitimacy of your research.
Women in general just aren't all that into business. They are just as valuable to society, and as smart as men, but tend to be more well-rounded. Try this test: try talking to 5 women and 5 men about something you are really fired up about. See who tunes you out first.
Women also get a lot of bad career advice. There are so many advice columns telling women how to say no the boss when given more work, responsibility…whereas I never see that bad advice given to men. Guess what every time you say no you have less chance at a raise, promotion…The whole idea that women need separate/different business advice is ridiculous in the first place.

Buying a Vehicle with Cash, Check or Credit Card
Apparently all Honda dealers are NOT the same. I just bought an 08 Accord six days ago. I traded my last one and added in cash for the down payment. The balance was on a check against outside credit line (financing that I got via Internet lender).
The dealer disregarded specific instructions to fax copies of certain documents pertaining to the sale. This was to be done BEFORE they deposited the check. The lender has repeatedly called the dealer's finance manager to no avail and now the check (which the dealer deposited anyway) is going to be returned unfunded.
Since this transaction is in excess of 20K what's holding the dealer up from getting their money? A simple fax of five minutes is all that's needed.
I don't believe that's the case. When I contacted the finance mgr this past weekend she said that the paperwork was in the accounting dept which was closed for the weekend.
As of 3 PM today (Monday) no paperwork has been faxed. (How many employees does it take to fax 5 documents? BTW, I have three of them myself.)
What would possess a business to ignore pursuing funds due to them?
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,8245 points really isn't that much and should NOT make the difference in what financing you get. The idea is that if you get a bunch of inquiries, it will knock down your score to a level that may make a difference. Why? Because if you get a bunch of inquiries, it looks like you're shopping a lot for credit, meaning you're either having a hard time getting any (because of personal finance/job change) or that you are trying to overspend.
One inquiry, related to a product that you're going to actually purchase? Not worth going nuts over. So I apply for an auto loan and it knocks my credit from 745 to 740... a couple of on-time payments on that loan and it's back up again.

isellit Posts: 15Normally a cash buyer will pay more for a car as listed on the buyers order.
Car dealers have back door deals with banks to steer a customer to them for financing from any where from $150.00-250.00 for each approved loan. Multiple banks compete with the dealer to provide car loans. The more banks competing the higher the back door deal or kickback. Also the dealer will bump the interest rate the bank quotes up 1/2 to 1% to make an added profit off the loan.
wlbrown9 Posts: 835Do your research first, shopping next. If I go in with good info that my credit union will finance me for rock bottom rate (say 3.99% .. it was 4 years ago) I'll give the dealer a chance to match that if they start off higher. If they can bump the bank quote .5-1% and still beat my rate, then I've saved money. If they can not at least match the rate, I'll run the paperwork around. Last time I financed the dealership had a bank that to quote them "did not want to lose any loans". I told him my deal from the credit union (3.99%, no loan fee) so he pulled out his book that showed current local deals and verified the details and matched it. If they paid him a few $$ to get the loan that is between them.
Research beforehand and then you know if they are trying to screw you on the deal. Example, if I plan on going 5 years at best rate, 3.99% in this example, I check my financial calculator... $1000 @ 3.99% for 5 years is $18.41/month. So, if I decide on something that the total financed would be $20K then I know my payment should be $368.20 or at least within a couple $ of that. When the dealership starts claiming to be at those terms but is saying it will cost you $425/month then you know they are possibly packing mop & shine, or something else that you are not planning on. You also make sure they are not quoting you a 72 month payment to get down to that... Just don't let your guard down or it might not work out as 'planned'.
Please help as this is a little worrying and don't know what to do
I bought a car yesterday by bank financing. I was already approved and did have a loan account number. The dealer whilst processing did a new loan application (i think) and now my account online shows two applications for a loan. The dealer was supposed to use the already approved loan that I had.
since i am doing this for the first time some questions-
-is this the norm? will my bank see this application from the dealership yesterday and basically consider this as the original application for auto loan that i had applied for or will it consider it as a new application?
the reason i ask is that my original application was all clean and good to go. this new application that came in yesterday from the dealer whom i bought the car from has one document required which i cannot provide.
Just to simplfy since i know this is a little confusing--
-on the 4th of this month i had applied for an auto loan with my bank. approved and all doc problems solved, i was good to go.
-went to dealership yesterday, told them i have bank approval, they said fine, fill in the paperwork, all went through
-i came home and logged online to my bank account and now see 2 applications
-wondering if now the new application is going to be a problem as the bank will void the old one that i had got and was clean
Thanks much for your responses, really worried here.
jmonroe Pittsburgh areaPosts: 5,540this new application that came in yesterday from the dealer whom i bought the car from has one document required which i cannot provide.
You haven't said what the document is that you can't provide. If that is a personal thing you don't have to say what it is here but I would call the bank to see if they can clear this up.
If you already got approval for a loan from that bank I don't think you would have a problem but I'm not in the biz.
If you hang on a little longer a salesman may show up. A call for help by the host went out to another forum and there are some pretty savvy people that hang out here at Edmunds but I can't see why a call to the bank will hurt.
Good luck and don't worry, it's only a car purchase. Paper problems can always be fixed.
'09 Genesis V8 and '12 Legacy Limited 6 cyl
OK, you can relax.
No smart dealer will assume that when a customer tells them their loan is "Pre Approved" that it's a done deal.
To protect themselves, they will have the customer fill out an application. They will then have an "Option Contract" ready to go just in case the "Pre Approved" loan doesn't go through.
No, I hav never had this happen but it does happen.
The dealer faxes the information to the customers' lender and the lender delwys paymnet fotr some reason or they decide they want to throw some "stips" in before they approve the loan.
So the dealer doesn't get paid. The dealer will then call the customer and they will prod them to get thier lender on the ball. We do like to get paid!
As a last resort, the dealer can use the Option Contract fo fund the car deal.
As far as your chargeoff that has now been paid, it couldn't have hurt you too bad or you wouldn't have been approved. If a person has otherwise good credit the lenders will assume it was a mistake of some kind.
I wouldn't be worried.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Shame on those for allowing a couple of properties within walking distance of the nation's oldest state park to deteriorate to skid row status. There's plenty of blame to share.
The land in question borders Niagara and Third streets, next to the Bank of America. Originally owned by the former Niagara County Savings Bank, then under the astute management of the late Jack Orr, the site included an impressive tower clock that also updated the temperature, a small amphitheater, clean benches and a fountain that eventually fell victim to vandals. Not long after it was dedicated, derelicts started to camp out in the shed mostly hidden from passersby at the busy intersection. Sensitive to its location — two blocks from the state park and the Rainbow Bridge — Orr tried hard to maintain the premises but the once picturesque parcel was doomed by littering, relentless vandalism, and people just hanging out until the bars opened. It was indeed a blotch on the welcome mat here. Before long, it became known as 'Bums Park,' appropriate for the stench, high weeds and grimy fountain clogged with debris and soap suds.
Subsequently, the two connected parcels were purchased by the DiCienzo family of Niagara Falls, Ont., with plans for a hotel that never came to fruition. Operating as the Canadian Niagara Hotels developer, the DiCienzos own eight hotels on the Canadian side, plus the Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood and the sprawling complex that includes Casino Niagara, opposite the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge. Under attack for ignoring the site, the DiCienzos agreed to pay a group of volunteers on this side of the river to cut the grass, pull the weeds and add some plantings. Again, for a number of reasons, that wasn't an answer.
The DiCienzos, who also own the downtown Days Inn and the Sheraton at the Falls (the former Crowne Plaza hotel) are committed to investments estimated at $50 million for hotels and attractions on this side of the border. Mayor Paul Dyster is quick to note they have a huge commitment in this Cataract City and they don't intend to walk away from their obligations.
For the record, Bums Park hasn't changed much. Today it looks a lot like it did 20 years ago: the red brick walkway heaved to the point where someone could easily be injured; the rusted out base and dangling wires for that once attractive vintage clock; the filthy fountains filled with dirt; graffito on the shed where an occasional drifter tries to sleep; and in some spots, offensive odors for anyone strolling by.
If no one is really serious about improving this ugly scene, perhaps some philanthropic-minded citizen will spring for a roll of crime tape to seal the premises. It just might prevent someone from falling into the fountain and swallowing too much soil. Or even worse, tripping over the red brick path and breaking a leg. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
ACROSS THE BORDER: Item: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is caught on video appearing to smoke cocaine."That's ridiculous," he says. Still, it's not too far off the mark for a guy known to show up impaired at public functions, who reportedly pinched a woman in the buttocks during a cocktail reception, who texts while driving, and who used the resources of his high office to help his son's footballl team. And who can forget that ultimate gesture of defiance that Ford gave to another motorist while waiting for a light to change in downtown Toronto. What a guy!
ON THE GO: Area baseball fans headed to a Blue Jays' game at Rogers Centre, Toronto, can save money and lots of time by taking the GO Train from Burlington, Ont., to Union Station, a short walk from the stadium.
CO-ED SLAIN: Hofstra University students are mourning the loss of Andrea Rebello, 21, a beautiful sorority student, who was gunned down by a masked man invading her home near the campus on Long Island. Cops shot and killed the gunman.
If Hofstra sounds familiar, the Hempstead, N.Y., school recently hired longtime Niagara University basketball coach Joe Mihalich as its head coach.
HEALTHY FOODS: Overheard at the Market Side Restaurant in the City Market: "I've been on a 30-day diet and so far I've lost 13 days" — a customer discussing her weight challenge.
QUICKIE QUIZ: Answer to Thursday's question: Ambergs. One former customer said he remembers a high-pressued salesman chasing him out to the bus stop to see if he would change his mind about buying a suit.
