Morning links: Things on the rise
I've seen workers before and after high-water warnings with a crane sliding or taking out the flood wall panels. It's an entirely manually system that requires several workers and equipment.
However, I do strongly agree that the H Street construction has been a complete disaster. The planners need to seriously get it together so as not let the sour H street experience discourage other neighborhoods from supporting street cars.
I'm not an engineer, but it seems to have taken a extraordinarily long time to complete this short section.
H Street construction was a mess because of the streetscape improvements, not laying the track.
by Charlie Brown's Mom on Apr 19, 2011 11:14 am • link • report
The streetcar installation was/is just a small part of the H-street reconstruction. This is a common misperception. Streetcar tracks can be laid in about 2-3 weeks per block if not combined with more major roadwork like on H. H-street has taken so long because it was a full-on rebuild of the street down to dirt, including new utilities, new roadway foundation, new curbs, etc., a project that would have taken nearly as long without the streetcar work.
The DDOT streetcar team seems to have a public relations problem on their hands when people associate streetcar construction with the wider 3-year Great Streets H-street reconstruction. They need to reiterate and work to educate the public going forward.
"A utility worker tells ABC7 that whoever was supposed to raise the flood panels, which are operated by hydraulics, yesterday did not do it correctly."
from Source: Georgetown flooding caused by human error, which confuses me because I *know* I've seen a crane messing around with the panels before.

by Juanita de Talmas on Apr 19, 2011 5:05 pm • link • report
The flood walls have been raised several times since I worked there. This time, someone completely dropped the ball. The place is a smelly mess, and no power.
Have you heard the deficit talk on the Hill? FYI DC makes an enormously outsize contribution to federal income tax coffers, and by far leads the nation in such ontributions on a per capita basis.
Maybe we should all follow Carol (though maybe its too late for 2011) Let's start a movement for 2012.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can

Let's call on the governor and Legislature for leadership in solving this crisis. We should extend the school day to 5 p.m. and the school year. We will have to pay our teachers more and hire more of them, but it will be cheaper than hiring prison guards later. Many jobs in Oklahoma can't be filled because there are no qualified applicants. If we want to improve the economy, let's stop trying to bribe companies to come to Oklahoma where they can't find qualified employees and spend the money to provide a KIPP education to qualify our citizens.

Facebook sends message with $19B acquisition (Video)
Facebook is willing to bet $19 billion that mobile-messaging service WhatsApp will have its investors tapping out smiley faces.
Facebook said it agreed to a deal to acquire California-based WhatsApp in a deal that includes $4 billion in cash, $12 billion in stock for the company and another $3 billion in restricted stock for founders and early employees, the Silicon Valley Business Journal reports. WhatsApp is one of the fastest growing of a new class of group messaging services, adding about 1 million new registered users a day.
An official with a venture capital fund that invested in WhatsApp pointed out a couple of numbers to those claiming Facebook overpaid for the company. Sequoia Capital's Jim Goetz said WhatsApp has 450 active users, and has spent nothing on marketing, according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal.

Named one of the Best Children's Books of 2012 by�Kirkus Reviews!

"Add a little natural wonder to your poetry... shelves. Because if we?re talking about the best possible compliment to your eyes and ears alike, few have as many perks and grand moments as this."�?School Library Journal�starred review
�
"Out of a windless August night/A luna moth in ghostly light
Beat softly on my window screen/Tick-tick-ticking-all silver green.
She whispered secrets in my ear--/I am but a stranger here.
The stars are scrawled across the sky/By ghostwriters, the Moon and I.
You will not see me here tonight--/I have a thousand stars to write."

What could be better than cuddling up with your child and this book on your lap and allowing your imaginations to soar with the words and images? Lovingly selected by U.S. Children's Poet Laureate J. Patrick Lewis and paired with vibrant animal photography, this collection of poems is an exuberant celebration of the animal kingdom and a beautiful introduction to this genre of literature. Designed for family sharing but targeted to ages 4-8, this dynamic, fresh, yet still classic collection of animal poems is a must-have for the family bookshelf.

Featured poets include J. Patrick Lewis, Dorothy Aldis, Emily Dickinson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling, Jack Prelutsky, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and many more.

Divided into chapters that group the poems by theme for extra resonance, the collection is a mix of old and new, classics, and never-before-published. A foreword from Lewis, sets the scene for helping children appreciate this gift of language and this visual feast for the eyes. Chapters include:
Welcome to the World (birth of animal young)
Big Ones (large animals--elephants, hippos, rhinos, bears)
Little Ones (small animals--worms, insects)
Winged Ones (birds and other flying creatures)�
Water Ones (aquatic animals--fish, dolphins, crabs)

America, with all its diversity, is not easily defined. David J. Smith's If America Were a Village takes a snapshot - past, presen...t and future - to help define America for children. Using the same successful metaphor of the international bestseller If the World Were a Village, the book shrinks down America to a village of 100. The metaphor helps children easily understand American ethnic origins, religions, family profiles, occupations, wealth, belongings and more. Shelagh Armstrong's expansive illustrations imagine America as a classic, vibrant small town. Who are the people living in this vast and varied nation? Where did they come from? What are they like today? How do they compare with people in other countries? The book's simple statistical analysis provides a new way of learning about where people live in America, the state of their health, the shapes and sizes of families, what they use and more - forming a concise picture of a country. If America Were a Village is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens. Read More

What is Wordishure?

 It is a collection of seven children's stories in one book. The first six chronicle the adventures a...nd lessons of the various inhabitants of Wordishure. Story number seven brings all the characters of the first six together for one grand adventure.

These stories are written for children of all ages and can be enjoyed by parent and child alike. Each adventure includes Biblical lessons that will inspire the reader and also start a dialogue between parent and child about God and personal accountability. Children tend to have a natural love for Jesus Christ, but sometimes they grow away from Him as they get older because they never truly got to know him. Some just seem to love Him because they sit in church every Sunday and they see that their parents are pleased when they say they love Him. Children need to get to know Jesus at a level they can understand, and that their decision to follow Him requires a willingness to change their heart and behavior.

I have written the Tales of Wordishure because I have seen very few pieces of Christian literature that are written in the style of children's classics such as "The Ugly Duckling," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Hansel and Gretel," or "The 3 Little Pigs." The Lord used parables to help people understand the mysteries of God. Tales of Wordishure does the same thing, but at a level that children can understand and have fun with at the same time.

There is no magic in Wordishure. Today's popular children's literature emphasizes the use of witchcraft, numbing the child at an early age to think that it is okay. Wordishure is an alternative. There are fantastic situations in the stories, but all are resolved through prayer, proper decisions by the characters, and trust in the Lord. Children need to know at an early age not to put their trust in secular fantasies, but to trust in sound Biblical doctrine.

Where is Wordishure?

It is an imaginary realm where modern technology does not exist. It is a world seen from a child's point of view.

Are there adults in these stories?

There are parents in all the stories, and although never named, they are seen as wise and to be obeyed.

Are there wicked villains in Wordishure?

There are no true villains or fear of death in Wordishure, only the misunderstood, or creatures that have lost their way from following God's word.

What is the age range for the reader?

Children of all ages call enjoy The Tales of Wordishure. The characters in the stories fire up the imagination of the smallest child, while word play and Christian principles hold the attention of the older kids and adults.

Why is there a scripture verse at the beginning of each story?

Each story is built around a Bible principle that the child should learn as the story progresses. Some stories have more than one Biblical lesson, though! Read More

Whether it's history, science, sports, geography, literature, language, medicine, the classics, or common wisdom, you'll be astonished to discover that everything you thought you knew is still hopelessly wrong.
���� For example, do you know who made the first airplane flight? How many legs does an octopus have? How much water should you drink every day? What is the chance of tossing a coin and it landing on heads? What happens if you leave a tooth in a glass of Coke overnight? What is house dust mostly made from? What was the first dishwasher built to do? What color are oranges? Who in the world is most likely to kill you?
���� Whatever your answers to the questions above, you can be sure that everything you think you know is wrong. The Second Book of General Ignorance is the essential text for everyone who knows they don't know everything, and an ideal stick with which to beat people who think they do. Read More

Adventures of the traveling Muse.
Single entrepreneur traveling and looking to connect with someone interesting. I am very passionate but like to go with the flow, introverted at times, a social butterfly when I need to be, love connecting with people on a deeper level, and can be a bit of a wiseass with the those I'm closest with. My favorite thing to do in the whole entire world is making someone laugh. I live a healthy lifestyle, eat organic (but not annoying about it), and enjoy being active. I love working out, outdoor activities, deep conversation, foreign movies, all kinds of music, dancing, love to read, cook, bake, dining out, wine, comedy clubs, and exploring new places. For fitness, no Zumba for me thank you. I train in mixed martial arts (Muay Thai, Boxing, and Krav Maga). I'm in a very good place in my life mentally, spiritually, and physically and ready to see who's out there! Looking for an old soul and partner in crime to share a deep soul connection. Someone who is passionate and ambitious in his career but has the flexibility to do whatever the hell he wants. Personality wise, he should be easy going but has passion for the things he's involved in, compassionate, charitable, open-minded and is a spiritual person. If he trains in martial arts even better. At times I can be introverted and value my privacy a great deal so the guy should be a private person too.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Deep Tissue Massage Helps Plantar Fasciitis
By Massage Therapy Foundation Contributor
Contributed by Derek R. Austin, MS, CMT, Beth Barberree, BA, RMT, MK Brennan, MS, RN, LMBT
Can ten minutes of deep tissue massage combined with stretching alleviate plantar fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis, also known as plantar heel pain syndrome (PHPS), is a common pathology characterized by pain on the sole of the foot.Often, the pain is worse in the morning and when coming up on the toes of the affected foot. Both the plantar fascia and plantar flexor muscles are often tender to palpation and may contain myofascial trigger points. Unfortunately, there is limited evidence for what clinical treatment is effective for PHPS. More and more, massage therapy and stretching are seen as first-line interventions, in contrast to steroid injections or possible surgery.
Since shortening of the plantar flexor muscles could increase stress on the plantar fascia, it seems reasonable that massage to these muscles would relieve foot pain in patients with PHPS. However, until recently, there was no scientific evidence that deep tissue massage of the calf muscles reduces PHPS symptoms. The Massage Therapy Foundation's research column is summarizing a recent single-blind randomized clinical trial on the effects of deep massage combined with neural mobilization exercises. The article is titled "Deep massage to posterior calf muscles in combination with neural mobilization exercises as a treatment for heel pain: A pilot randomized clinical trial" and was published online in the journal Manual Therapy in September 2013.
The authors, based at an outpatient physical therapy clinic in Israel, recruited consecutive patients with PHPS who were referred by an orthopedic surgeon. PHPS was defined as plantar heel pain that was worse with initial weight bearing after a period of rest but improved with activity. Patients were excluded if they had systemic disease, tumor, fracture, a history of corticosteroid use, severe vascular disease, prior lower leg surgery, referred pain to the heel from a source other than the posterior calf muscles, or an inability to attend scheduled treatments. The study was single-blind in that one author, who did not provide treatment and did not randomize patients, conducted the physical examinations at admission and discharge.
Sixty-nine patients were randomized into either the massage group (n = 36) or the ultrasound group (n = 33). There were no significant differences between the two groups of patients at baseline. All patients received eight treatments over a 6-week period with a frequency of 1 to 2 sessions per week. Treatment was performed by one of fifteen staff physical therapists. It was noted that only 51 participants completed the treatments and discharge assessment. Additionally, there were no significant differences between those who dropped out of the massage group and those who dropped out of the ultrasound group.
The massage therapy intervention was performed with the patients lying prone with their feet off the end of the table. Ten minutes of deep massage therapy was performed using "forceful soft tissue massage mobilization techniques, described by Cyriax (1984), directed to the incompliant and painful areas of the posterior calf muscle group." The therapists massaged the medial and lateral aspects of the posterior calf from both a medial and lateral approach. The pressure was deep enough to generate a pain response and was performed with thumbs or another body part, such as an elbow.
The massage intervention was compared to a treatment of ultrasound. The authors report that although ultrasound has not been shown to be effective for PHPS, it is still commonly used in some physical therapy clinics. Ultrasound was delivered to the painful area on the heel using slow circular movements for three minutes at a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 1.0 W/cm. The ultrasound group did not receive the neural mobilization exercise.
Calf muscle stretching has been shown at both short- and long-term follow-up to be effective in managing PHPS. Thus, all patients in the study were instructed in self-stretching directed at the posterior calf muscles. A standing calf stretch was taught, with the affected foot furthest from the wall and both feet positioned in a line. The patient leaned forward while keeping the heels on the floor until a stretch was felt in the posterior calf or achilles. In order to stretch the gastrocnemius, the back knee was kept extended, and, in order to stretch the soleus, the back knee was bent. Each of these stretches was performed three times daily, 5 repetitions of 20s stretching with 10s rest.
In addition to the calf stretches, the group of patients randomized to receive deep massage also performed a neural mobilization exercise. Patients performed a passive straight leg raise with dorsiflexion using a long belt. The idea was that doing so would increase tension on neural structures such as the plantar nerve and further alleviate pain. The authors do not state the duration or frequency of this neural mobilization exercise, though it may have been performed like the stretches.
In order to assess response, the authors used the Foot & Ankle Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT), which is a patient-rated functional outcome measure based on the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). The Foot & Ankle CAT is rated from 0 (low functioning) to 100 (high functioning). Pain on taking first steps in the morning was rated on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS).
The authors performed a mixed-model ANOVA, which showed a significant group-by-time effect (p = 0.034) for change in the Foot & Ankle CAT in both groups. This change was still significant (p = 0.025) after the authors controlled for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and chronicity. The massage group improved on the Foot and Ankle CAT from an average of 47% at baseline to an average of 62% after treatment. The 95% confidence interval for improvement in the massage group was 9% to 21%. The ultrasound group improved on the Foot and Ankle CAT from an average of 50% at baseline to an average of 56% after treatment. The 95% confidence interval for improvement in the ultrasound group was 1% to 11%. The group-by-time interaction from the ANOVA indicated a significant (p = 0.034) difference in improvement between the two groups.
The pain level with first morning steps of patients in both groups also decreased significantly for all participants. However, there was not a significant difference in pain levels between the groups. The massage group reported a reduction in morning pain levels from an average of 6.8 out of 10 at baseline to an average of 4.2 out of 10 after treatment. The 95% confidence interval for pain improvement in the massage group was -1.4 to -3.4. The ultrasound group reported a reduction in morning pain levels from an average of 6.9 out of 10 at baseline to an average of 4.4 out of 10 after treatment. The 95% confidence interval for pain improvement in the ultrasound group was -1.4 to -3.8.
The authors concluded that the change in functional status of the patients in the massage group was both statistically and clinically significant. They stated that the change in functional status of the patients in the ultrasound group was not clinically significant despite being statistically significant. Both groups experienced a clinically relevant improvement in pain with first steps in the morning.
The study has limitations that affect its applicability to everyday massage practice. The study included a small sample size with many patients who dropped out. There was no true control group, as patients in the ultrasound group received a treatment of ultrasound as well as the calf stretches. Finally, since only the massage group received the neural mobilization exercise, the use of this exercise confounds the effect of deep massage.
In conclusion, deep massage of the posterior calf combined with stretching may improve the function of patients with plantar fasciitis more than a combination of ultrasound and stretching. Ten minutes of deep pressure massage to the posterior calf easily fits into most therapeutic massage sessions and may be worth a try with your clients. Regular self-stretching of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles appears to be an important part of managing plantar fascia pain in patients with PHPS. Future research could explore the use of other massage techniques including possibly massage of the plantar fascia itself.

Longtime followers of this blog know that I am, above all else, a Records and Information Management Professional. It is my chosen profession and one that I believe is both noble and – given today's explosive growth of information – critically import to the success of any organization. Everything I've written here (and countless other places) has been focused, at least in part, on advancing the policies, procedures and technical methodologies records management professionals employ to better support our customers.
For seven years and over 135 posts, this blog has provided guidance on managing the lifecycle of content maintained exclusively in a SharePoint environment. (Clearly, this was hard to avoid given the clever burst of creativity that originally convinced me to call this site 'SharePointRecordsManagement.com'.)
But we cannot grow if we do not change. And, just as my opinion on the DoD 5015.2 Standard radically evolved over time, my belief that the lifecycle of an organization's information can be effectively managed within any single solution has also dramatically changed. There's little doubt that SharePoint will continue to play a role in many enterprise records and information management strategies for the foreseeable future, but as newer, more agile technologies begin to capture growing shares of the ECM market and completely new sources of content continue to pop up at an accelerated rate, I no longer believe it makes practical sense to limit my conversation to SharePoint (or any single environment) alone.
Along with this philosophical evolution, my professional career has evolved, as well. I've recently joined a small, struggling little start-up in a role that will allow me to support our customers as they revolutionize their information lifecycle solutions and begin to implement the next generation records management methodologies that I have always been so passionate about.
Sadly, as a result of these changes, it no longer makes sense for me to continue to maintain this blog and I will be shutting it down over the next week or so.
To be clear, that does not mean I am going away for good. In fact, I am more committed than ever to advocating aggressively for the records and information management industry and you might even see a new blog spring up sometime in the near future.
As the long-time spiritual guide of this blog was often quick to point out, 'aloha' means both hello and good-bye. So I am saying aloha to all of our followers. Thank you all for your time, your enlightening commentary and your generous support.
Cheers, Don

MELISSA BLOCK, host:
While President-elect Obama prepares for the White House, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska is preparing to leave Washington. Yesterday, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate conceded defeat to Democrat Mark Begich. And today, Senator Stevens said farewell to his colleagues with a speech on the Senate floor.
(Soundbite of Senate speech)
Former Senator TED STEVENS (Republican, Alaska): My mission in life is not completed. I believe God will give me more opportunities to be of service to Alaska and to our nation. And I look forward with a glad heart and with confidence in its justice and mercy. I told members of the press yesterday, I don't have a rear view mirror. I look only forward, and I still see the day when I can remove the cloud that currently surrounds me.
BLOCK: That cloud was his conviction last month on seven felony counts of lying on financial disclosure forms. Despite the conviction, Senator Stevens ran a competitive race, losing narrowly to Begich. During today's speech, staffers and family members wept in the visitor's gallery. Afterward, Senator Stevens's colleagues sent him off with a standing ovation.

June 11, 2015: Congratulations to our daughter Stephanie who now holds a shiny new BACHELOR OF ARTS degree from Simon Fraser University! Four and one half long years of study and it is finally over! It was a wonderful day - thousands of people watched three hundred or so graduates receive their convocation. We are so proud. Congratulations, Stephanie!
June 7, 2015: We are in the midst of a heat wave - unseasonably warm for this time of year. Right now, just before noon on Sunday it is just a tad over 80F and getting warmer by the minute. Sort of makes me wish I still had the pool in the back yard.
Thanks to everyone for email requests and messages. You can contact us here at email@example.com
And on another note, the last program week before summer break will be the week of June 22. There will be three shows produced that week and then we take the summer off - some travel and hopefully, a lot of sun.
To all who support us, thank you! Our internet numbers are still holding their own, and that is a good thing. So keep us bookmarked and drop by from time to tome.
Be well, stay cool and enjoy the good sound of Radio Action.
May 25, 2015: It has been a few weeks since my last entry here. And since then I have completely revamped the page you are now looking at for a cleaner, fresher image. I do hope you like it!
I had a listener suggest to me that the old format was pretty "dark" and rather user unfriendly and after some discussion with him, I had to agree that what was once kind of funky and distinctive, had become old and passe - so a refresher was needed.
I am once again counting the weeks to vacation - not that I do not love what I do here - far from it - but everyone needs a break from what it is that spins their wheels and I find that as I age, those breaks need to be more frequent and in the case of the summer, a full two months in duration.
Plus the fact that my still working wife gets the whole summer "off" and I like to spend time with her seeing parts of the Pacific Northwest in our Motor Home. And no, I do not have a mobile studio in the rig - sure there is room for one, but so far, I have resisted the urge to sit on a beach somewhere doing radio. And after last summer's vacation, I did come back to the studio ready and rearing to go! I suspect the same will happen again this year.
So, please drop by often, leave a comment on the guest book if you wish, and remember to shout out on the email at firstname.lastname@example.com for requests or anything else you would like to chat about.
Take good care and thanks for dropping by!
April 1, 2015: January flew by, February, the short month, seemed to come and go in a heartbeat, March is but a memory and we are into April already and thinking about spring and summer activities.
Today, one could easily think "spring" as the weather is very nice indeed. Clear, skies and lots of sunshine. A good day to get outside, which I did - just after recording this week's Sound Track of the Sixties show! And yes, to you astute listeners, it is a day early.
I figured that I could take a long weekend off - Thursday through Monday, back on Tuesday. For good union people, Easter Monday is a holiday here - and my wife is a union employee - so she gets the day!
Trying to "do radio" when others are home is nigh on impossible - apparently I make too much noise! So, my recording sessions are limited to those days when the house is quiet - except, of course, for me, making my music!
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL - enjoy responsibly and remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON!
March 27, 2015: It is shaping up to be a very nice day here on the coast. I have to head over to the rink where the Physio clinic is located - isn't it handy to have the clinic right where I sustained the injury?
Then, if the conditions are good, I really do have to cut the lawns! My commitment to radio is done for the week and while I really do enjoy doing the shows, I also enjoy the time away, doing other things.
I managed to get the water system flushed out on the motor home yesterday - all the antifreeze is gone and fresh water is once again running through the system. Everything seems to be working well.
Back to Much More Music on Monday - meanwhile, I think there is an RV show somewhere in the area that needs to be visited!
Rock on!!!
March 06, 2015: It is Spring Break here in British Columbia and my wife and I are taking a couple of weeks of vacation. So, until March 23 there will be no programming coming your way from this radio studio. I know there is plenty on the site to keep you entertained for a while, and I do hope you will visit us again in two weeks for another brand new show!
Meanwhile, we will be enjoying a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.
I hope you will too.....
February 26, 2015: Things have taken off very nicely for RADIO ACTION and the transition has been smooth and relatively simple to accomplish. We do hope you will stay with us and continue to enjoy the great sound of OLDIES from RADIO ACTION. Three programs will keep you entertained and imformed.
RADIO ACTION - Rock and Talk replaces the CKW program, RADIO ACTION Memory Music, which simply adds the MM tag to an existing program, and of course, RADIO ACTION Sound Track of the Sixties - again not much change here except for the odd mention of Radio Action.
So, stay with us! Let us know what you like to hear and what you think about the changes!
And thanks for listening and visiting us here!
February 16,2015: Just a quick and short note to remind you that tomorrow, February 17, marks the inagural program under the RADIO ACTION - ROCK AND TALK moniker. Formerly CKW, this program will follow the format to a "T" except that the jingles, sweeps, sounders and promos will reflect the change to Radio Action.
I hope you will join us for this program.
February 15, 2015: The reaction to the changes to the station's moniker have been positive - and those who have commented like the idea of having everything being carried under one banner. I do too, which is why the changes were made.
Going forward, the programs that were once CKW will be under the name RADIO ACTION - ROCK AND TALK and will, for the forseeable future, remain true to the format that has brought us much success over the past few years. The only thing that changes will be the program identifiers.
Radio Action becomes Radio Action MEMORY MUSIC and the format there remains the same, as does the Sound Track of the Sixties format. So for those who love the shows for content, fear not, as nothing is changing except for the program jingles. Al is still here, James, Michael, Mac and me! All doing what we love to do!
So, to those who took the time to comment - thanks! And to the vast majority who do not comment, but do listen, thank you too. It is great to see that the weekly program statistics are continually on an upward trend.
Until next time, this is Rocking Donald Roberts with MUSIC - THAT'S OUR MIDDLE NAME.........
February 11, 2015: Friends: The program I have been promoting for several weeks is now on the site - here and at www.donspodradio.podomatic.com.
And, the BIG NEWS going forward is that the moniker CKW is being retired - beginning next week we record under the banner RADIO ACTION - ROCK AND TALK.
The weekly Radio Action program will be renamed RADIO ACTION - MEMORY MUSIC, and the 60's count down show will be RADIO ACTION - SOUND TRACK OF THE SIXTIES!
I know you will like the changes going forward.
To those who have been with us since our inception, February 2006, thanks for your support. And to those who are recent RADIO ACTION converts - stay tuned - it just keeps getting better and better........
Requests are honored at firstname.lastname@example.com - and, when you make a request by email or Facebook message, you will get a return note advising THE PROGRAM AND THE TIME of your tune. So, you will never miss a thing on Radio Action.
Until Next time....
FEBRUARY 2, 2015: Friends: Exciting things are happening here at DonsPodRadio! As we close in on our 400th program under the CKW banner, we will be announcing some changes to the way we program our station going forward. So watch this site for the news!
Thanks to everyone for email messages and Facebook messages - and especially your requests. email@example.com gets you here. And now, each request will be answered with an email or FB message as to exactly when your special tune is being played, so you will never miss it!
Be here in two weeks for all the news!
Until then, rock on with us here at DonsPodRadio - CKW, Radio ACTION and Sound Track of the Sixties
It gives me great pleasure to announce a web site where you can now access all programming from the RADIO MAX studios formerly carried here, on the podcast player.
It really is time that the programming provided me by Mac, stand on it's own and take the spotlight by it's own merit. And, by setting up this site exclusive to MAX'S PLACE - RANDOM ACTS OF MUSIC, you will get much more programming than the once a week sampling we were able to provide on our home site.
So, this is a win, win situation for everyone, but especially for YOU, our podcast listeners, supporters and partners! Now you have choices! You can go to the player page on this site - RANDOM ACTS OF MUSIC
or go directly to www.raomusic.podomatic.com for some great music from Radio MAX,
or you can go to www.donspodradio.podomatic.com for much more music from my home studio,
or to http://www.jamesmurphyenterprises.co.uk/rewindcentral/listen.htm and listen to James' radio station.
