I have received flipkart parcels through Aramex Couriers at least on three occasions in the past. Each time, I received a text message and a phone call in advance, telling me that the courier was on its
way. Yesterday, I receive a text about an overdue flipkart parcel at 4:15 p.m, notifying me that the courier was on its way and to keep the cod amount handy. Having reached my home by 4, I waited till 7:30 pm for the courier, which never turned up. When my flatmate met me later in the evening, she told me that the courier had arrived at 2 pm, and as she did not have the requisite amount at hand, he told her that I had to call him, instead of his calling me in advance as is the usual procedure. He also added that the parcel would be returned to destination if I did not receive it by tomorrow.
Given the fact that it was 9 pm when i received this information, I called the said courier person at 10 am today, and informed him that I would be available between 10 am and 12 noon. The courier person told me that he would not be able to deliver it within the said time, and that it was not his responsibility to contact me in advance and ensure that i was available- contrary to my previous experience with Aramex, and that I could lodge a complaint for all he cared, but it wouldnt make a difference. I had the pleasure of having a courier boy misbehave with me at 10 in the morning, after which I called Aramexs helpline twice- at 1030 and at 1130 before I could talk to a supervisor. My parcel is yet to arrive, and I have to sit here twiddling my thumbs, postponing my plans for the day in order to ensure that my parcel does not return to destination. These are the shipment details that they have been updating of their own free will, without contacting me. Shipment Details
Misbehaviour, apathetic customer service, delayed delivery- Aramex, you just lost another customer.

Adam & Eve Celebrates Another Stellar Year Of Charitable Giving
Hillsborough, NC - Adam & Eve (http://www.adamandeve.com/news
Adam & Eve has been known for years for its involvement with the community, as well as being a caring employer and citizen group. A large number of the benefactors are organizations that directly affect employees. In addition, when employees contribute to company-sponsored charitable causes, the company matches the amount raised.
Tom Underwood, the head of the Human Resources department explains, "Some of our giving is industry-related, such as causes that defend freedom of speech. Some of our giving is health-related … research for AIDS, cancer and children's illnesses. Some of our giving is directed at social behavior, such as domestic violence and planned parenthood. But most of our giving is to local causes that are being led by civic clubs, schools, churches and other organizations. We feel the need to focus our giving on the local community first."
Gina Phelps, a member of the internal volunteer committee adds, "How many companies will let their employees decide who and where we give? Adam & Eve has a really big heart only because its employees do, which is why we have been so successful in showing it to the community we work in. It makes me proud to work here."

Monkey Jungle had nothing on the Aventura Mall on a Thursday afternoon.
The line outside Victoria's Secret to get a glimpse of lingerie model Adriana Lima snaked out about a quarter of a mile.
The SoFla natives were getting restless.
"She's my favorite Angel, but this is pretty ridiculous," said Chino Martin, 20, from Sunrise. He came as a favor to cousin Jesus Loayza, 14, who needed a ride. They'd been there about an hour and still had to tangle through the masses inside.
If only the boys had bought the retailer's latest bra, the BioFit Uplift, they would have been granted access to the "express lane." Those smarties only had an hourlong wait to meet the Brazilian beauty and get her autograph.
"I didn't know my mother's size or I would have," said Martin of the $45 padded chest accessory.
In the store, the scene was no less chaotic. Amid the panty bins and babydoll racks, a swarm of publicists, saleswomen and paparazzi jockeyed for elbow room.
Suddenly Lima - dressed in a navy T-shirt and jeans - appeared from a back room.
"I'm so flattered," Lima said, looking out at the crowd (an estimated 800 showed). "I thank God every day. I am blessed."
She's right about that. The 27-year-old Salvador Bahia native looks better in person - about six feet tall with insanely blue eyes and a dazzling smile. Too bad she's not single. The huge diamond ring she wore is from Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, who popped the question a month ago.
"When I stop traveling all over the world I will plan the wedding," Lima said, laughing. "I'm too busy right now!"

The difference between a job and a career has more to do with how you look at your workday than with any other factor. If you think of the hours you spend at work as something you only do because you have to, then you have a job. If you think of your workday as part of a lifelong journey you chose for yourself based on your own interests and passions, then you have a career.
Reasons for Working
A job is something you do in order to achieve some other goal, such as to have a little money to go out and enjoy yourself on the weekend, to pay for school, to buy something you need to save up for, or to pay bills and buy groceries. If you could achieve that same goal in some other way, you probably wouldn't have the job, because the job doesn't have any interest or appeal for its own sake. By contrast, many people would still pursue the same career even if they didn't need the money. The same position can be a job for one person and the first step in a career for another person. For example, you can have a job at a restaurant as a cook just to pay the bills, or you can take a cooking position at a restaurant as the first step in a lifelong career as a chef.
Immediate Needs or Lifelong Dreams
If you see your work as a way to fulfill your lifelong dreams and ambitions, you have a career. If you see your work as a way to fulfill an immediate need or solve an immediate problem, you have a job. When you have a job, you take a short-term approach, seeking to fulfill whatever the job requires in order to keep getting paid. When you have a career, you take a long-term approach, seeking to learn new things, expand your skills, build a professional network, and grow your career for the future.
Short-term and Long-term Gains
Sometimes, a job can even pay more than a career in the short term, but career professionals usually earn much more in the long term. For example, a job in a group home pays an hourly wage, while an internship in a psychiatrist's office usually pays nothing. However, when the intern goes on to earn her license and become a professional counselor, she will earn much more money over the years than she could ever have earned working at a group home. Careers often require you to invest both money and time to get the education or job skills you need to succeed.
Personal Fulfillment
Careers, unlike jobs, are self directed. A manager or business owner can choose you for a job as a sales clerk, but only you can choose to pursue a career in sales. We spend much of our time at work, so the work we do can have a big impact on our quality of life and sense of fulfillment. If you just pick the job that pays the best or has the most convenient schedule for your short-term needs, your work probably won't contribute much to your happiness in life. If you work on building a career based on your own passions and talents, your work can help make your life richer and more rewarding in many ways.

UVM prof wins smart grid grantJanuary 22,2013
UVM prof wins
smart grid grant
BURLINGTON A University of Vermont professor has won a $400,000 National Science Foundation Career Award for his research proposal on smart electrical grids.
Dr. Paul Hines, a professor in the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematics Sciences, has proposed research on harnessing smart grid data to enable resilient and efficient electricity.
He said the research would study ways to use smart grid data to find patterns of vulnerability in power systems, and would use the results to reduce the risk of cascading power blackouts.
Hines said the award provides the unique opportunity to conduct research that may lead to technology making power grids more resilient, including the ability to better incorporate variable power sources, such as wind power.MORE IN Vermont NewsBARRE Armed with what appears to be one workable bid, City Manager Steve Mackenzie said Friday ...

"CINDY HUMMEL Correspondent Sixteen-year-old Riley Bria leapt into national recognition as a guitarist during the American Country Awards Dec. 10. Bria is not sure why he jumped over Keith Urban's speaker during the Las Vegas performance, which was broadcast nationally on television. Nor does he remember the origin of throwing his blond hair directly back away from his face. Neither were rehearsed. The Lampeter-Strasburg High School sophomore recalled the experience as "just having fun." Bria's high-energy performance has gotten him noticed. Since Bria and the other young people performing with Urban were never named on air, most people who watched the show know him only as the blond kid who performed with Urban. A fellow Grammy Camp graduate picked for the performance told Bria that her hometown refers to him as "the blond guitarist." He is now trying to find a way for more people to know him as Riley Bria. Urban knew Bria's name. Read more: http://lancasteronline.com/article/local/"

HobbyKing Pietenpol Aircamper 1370mm Balsa
Halloa people
a few months ago HK announced this vintage flier in one of it's daily video's, and I immediately wanted one A nice rendition of the famous kit-planes from the 1930's..
So.. the package arrived at my doorstep today
Unboxing time! Looks good to me so-far
I'll allso be doing a maiden-flight video, and possible some more, with the plane
Wingspan: 1370mm
Length: 860mm
Weight: 1600g

Ghehehe hmmm I was thinking of adding some exhausts I haven't looked up what those should look like
I'm now doing some building on the plane.. I'm missing some washers.. Other then that the fit is great.. It IS quite a bit more work then most balsa kits from HK, but that is allright.. I'm enjoying the build
I just realized, the big (and draggy, unfortunately) radiator is what completes the picture for me. This shouldn't be that big a deal to fabricate...easy to say from the sidelines, I know...from scraps most hobbyists have lying around.
Don't blame you a bit, that's waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy simpler!
The HK Pietenpol Air Camper has also been discussed a bit here:

Hi there people
So.. my Pietenpol's build is done.. Time for a maiden flight then!
Now. the wind-direction was a bit bad for my flying-field, which made the landing not-so-handy :P
But I got her down in 1 piece
I might sound like a broken record, but you said too that it seems a bit tail heavy, especially if it's overly sensitive in pitch. If the CG's too far back even the best of planes can be unpleasant to fly.
I think you're doing your approaches too high and too far away...at times it looks like you're diving to try getting it lower, which will only increase the airspeed and prolong the final. If it isn't carved in stone in your mind, this needs to be: Pitch controls airspeed, power controls altitude.
If it's overpowered, that gives you the luxury of throttling back...you mentioned cruising at 60% throttle, but I'll bet 40%-even 25% will do it. HK's Pete looks like it handles extremely low speeds really well. I never seemed to see a stall break even when it was slowed down a lot, this is great, it just means the Pete is not a speed demon.
My prescription would be lots of airwork at altitude to explore the performance envelope; I bet you'll be able to crawl the plane right to you and land at your feet if you know it won't stall, and with all that wing area I'd expect just that from a high wing light aircraft like the Pete.
As far as the wind, sure, there's nothing to be done about the groundspeed with it, but to deal with unstable choppy air I'm really liking the new breed of receivers with piezo gyro stabilization.
Have you considered something like the Lemon RX receiver? That's what's going into my new Rochobby Waco. I've seen many happy comments on threads here about them and they look like a solid company. The 7 channel DSMX one was only about $22 and 10 calendar days shipped to me from Hong Kong.
Flying the UMX Radian with its AS3X receiver made a believer out of me...I've flown it in moderate wind with lots of instability and it handles the bumps beautifully, as advertised with the feel of a much larger airplane.
With the confidence I have in both the UMX Radian and the Parkzone micro T-28 I've been flying this year, I can usually land within a few feet of where I intend to, and that's pretty important because I'm in a power wheelchair and can't just go trotting across country to retrieve a plane!

Thanks for the reply again sir!
well.. yeah.. the reality at that spot is a bit different then what it looks like on camera.. YES I should approach lower, or slower (basically the same thing.. elevation = speed = elevation) .. I'd rather not fly through a building / tree / lamp-post/camera though..
The CG was not an issue.. that was okee, but the plane might behave a bit better in glide with te lipo a few mm's forward..
Yes.. I've had the UMX Radian.. Great fun! I allso have a few other stabelisers.. To take it a step further: I've put an APM flightcontroller with GPS in one of my planes, and it landed itself! Hmm let's see.. The only plane I now have a stabeliser in now, is a seaplane.. With those it is Really very bennefitial to land level...
On other planes I'd rather crash.. It's no fun & takes away from the skill needed..
It's no sin to use a stabilizer in full size aviation for the same reason: it reacts with a correction faster than a human being can. Just ask a full size Learjet pilot and they'll say the same: if the yaw damper is inoperative, that's actually a no-go item. Even on the Mitsubishi MU-2s I flew for a living, an inoperative yaw damper was guaranteed to make flying a tiring, dreary task.
When I'm flying a model that size, if a piezoelectric gyro can keep me out of trouble and make it act like a much larger, heavier ship, I'll use it any time I can. Just my opinion, of course, but having these available so inexpensively is a godsend for me...several of the micros I've been flying since 2010 would be even more fun and relaxing with that feature!

Well yeah.. I CAN see your point.. I am not against new things or something like that..
I know however it takes away from the pilots ability to be quick at the sticks..
(I might not have been able to save that T-28 Trojan otherwise)..
I sold my UMX a while back to someone that Only flies planes with stabelisers.. I would definately not trust him with one of my planes.. He simply cannot fly..
But as mentioned before: there is a use for everything.. I do like to have that stabeliser on my seaplane.. And I might allso put one into my FPV plane (a Hype Funtastic)
Back to the Pietenpol then: the elevator was just to touchy.. Which did not help me in the landing.. The flight itself wasn't as smooth eighter, as I'm sure you know
During the flight I didn't remember I had a higher expo set up on a switch.. haha.. the struggle of maidens + trying to shoot a decent video + doing narration

If it isn't carved in stone in your mind, this needs to be: Pitch controls airspeed, power controls altitude.
Careful there preaching that. Whilst it does work given enough practice with very light A/C it's actually the wrong technique. Pitch controls where you want the plane to go, power controls what it was meant to do in the first place, adjusting airspeed.
You aim where you want the plane to go such as the piano keys on a Rwy using pitch (get the horizon where you want it in the window) & then all you have to do is add or reduce power to keep on speed, it's dead easy but sadly it's being taught all the wrong way these days.
Obviously in the above situation it's a stable environment but pitch will change airspeed if power is not changed also.
This technique is used every day in larger A/C with auto thrust etc.
In over 30 years of flying both full size and models, 20 of which were spent professionally as a command pilot, CFI and/or company instructor, I've seen again and again that anyone who doesn't understand and work within the limitations of any given plane's drag curve and how it relates to power available (or not, in gliders and power-off scenarios) is going to have problems.
There is a subtle interplay between the forces at work, particularly induced vs. parasite drag, that sometimes isn't all that intuitive but is absolutely critical to understand if one's aim is good flying practices.
To put it in a really limited way, the two most serious results are seen with:
A) pilots finding themselves too high on final diving for the runway, building up an excess of airspeed that ends in an overshoot, and:
B) worse, a pilot trying to 'stretch' a glide in an engine-out situation. In the latter, they keep increasing pitch but once below best L/D speed that pesky induced drag comes into play, drastically increasing sink rate or terminating in an approach stall if the critical angle of attack is exceeded.
I used to enjoy taking a student up in a bugsmasher, having them establish level, trimmed flight at best L/D (same as best glide) speed, and first, having them pitch up...the result as induced drag kicks in at the now-reduced airspeed is of course the airplane will descend (after an initial slight increase in altitude from inertia) since it now has a deficit of power for that airspeed.
Even more fun was having the student establish level trimmed flight below best L/D (and of course above stall speed for the configuration the plane's in) and ask them to pitch forward slightly, wait and watch.
Again, inertia would cause a light dip in altitude, but with less induced drag, once it stabilized the airplane would climb, since it now had a surplus of power for that speed.
Completely NOT what Hollywood oversimplifies to show what pitch does, but seeing it happen made believers out of them....and best of all, I knew my students (or colleagues in my company instructor time) would be well prepared for any situation that might arise when they were off on a solo cross-country trip.
And yeah, I did have a few coworkers...professional pilots, mind you...who'd been taught the pitch-for-altitude/power-for-airspeed fallacy that were happy to shed it once they saw for themselves how planes work, and with both them and low time students, seeing that light bulb come on in their heads and their faces light up was mighty gratifying for me.

In order to work at LPD, each communications specialist has to complete an 18-week training program. Before now, that program didn't meet the minimum national standards.
It's not something that's required, but Communication Commander Cindy Felton said she wanted to take that extra step.
"I wanted to make sure that our training program included everything that a dispatcher should know for liability purposes," said Felton. "Just to make sure that they are well rounded, taught, everything that they might need to know now or in the future as a communications specialist."
The certification was only awarded to a handful of agencies across the country this year.

Thank you for sharing it. Very strong graphic card.

Cool card but the capped overclocking potential is a huge downer :/ given it comes behind NVIDIA in the field as well I'd have to hope for any tweaks available to keep it up with the current crop. There's also the issue of the recent rumor of a refresh of the 7900 core coming along which would make me want to wait to see what performance those chips are able to deliver instead.

Multistage interconnection networks
Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are a class of high-speed computer networks usually composed of processing elements (PEs) on one end of the network and memory elements (MEs) on the other end, connected by switching elements (SEs). The switching elements themselves are usually connected to each other in stages, hence the name.
Such networks include networks, omega networks, delta networks and many other types. MINs are typically used in high-performance or parallel computing as a low-latency interconnection (as opposed to traditional packet switching networks), though they could be implemented on top of a packet switching network. Though the network is typically used for routing purposes, it could also be used as a co-processor to the actual processors for such uses as sorting; cyclic shifting, as in a perfect shuffle network; and bitonic sorting.

I'm not in the habit of putting myself or others into boxes, but since it seems that I must.
Briefly; I consider myself to be an open minded person, looking to try new things and meet new people and see what happens.
What else? I am perhaps more of a geek than I like to admit to my non-geek friends, and at the same time less of a geek that I like to admit to my geeky friends.
I spent a good 9 months in South America a few years back, and I am trying to bring as much of my experiences into how I am living now. Things like meditating each morning, not trying to plan my future and seizing as many opportunities as possible.
I also recently went on a 10 day silent meditation retreat (Vipassana - for those who know it) which really helped me shift the way I think about the world, in an amazing way. Lots of getting rid of self-criticism, expunging past troubles etc. I'm mega keen to chat about it to anyone who is interested.
p.s. If you are interested in talking or finding something out about me or anything along those lines then Just Ask! I dont bite and I will honestly answer 99% of questions put to me
I've just come back from 4 months volunteering in the Philippines, construction/carpentry based stuff for a disaster relief NGO. Good times all round.
My rugged good looks?
my sarcasm?
Tough question.
Movies; I'm pretty open for whatever, but I do have a penchant for artsy type films or mega trash (we have a thing called Mediocre Movie Mondays at my place), Just one of the many dualities in my personality :P
Music; my general rule is styles (not necessarily artists) that came before I was born (thus no metal and the likes).
I love a bit of old folk and funk (Earth wind and fire,Dylan, Joplin, Ben Harper and co.), Right now into Old Crow Medicine show and Cat Sevens/Yusuf Islam, Punch Brothers, the Decembrists and Nickle Creek (since taking up the mandolin).... more to come :P
That being said I've plugged my radio back in and I'm loving the chance to hear some new stuff
Passion for life
Something to put my ideas down on
Stimulating conversation
If emotion is possible from solipsism and wanky shit like that.
Annoying paradigms that we live in and how to break out of them.
Life, self reflecting (perhaps too much), politics, philosophy, places I want to go in the world... I could go on.
That being said, message me if you are interested simple as that :)
p.s I am inclined to want to actually meet you one day, so If you are just looking to chat online that is cool but perhaps we are looking for different things.
p.p.s I am much more likely to respond if you add a 'pop question', which is a random question for me to answer. It can be about anything, I promise to answer honestly :P

Skip to comments.York Teacher Charged With Having Sex With Student
Posted on 12/09/2005 7:31:49 PM PST by ncountylee
YORK, Pa. A high school English teacher had sex with a 17-year-old student several times this fall, according to police who have charged her with corruption of a minor and giving him alcohol.
Robin L. Winkis, 29, had sex with the boy five times, in her home and in her car, during October and November, according to charging documents. The York woman was free on bail following her arraignment on Monday.
Her lawyer, Terrence McGowan, said Winkis was informed by the school district on Friday that it would pursue firing her. She was suspended with pay when the investigation began, but the district stopped paying her after charges were filed, he said.
McGowan declined comment on the charges.
Police said the Central York High School teacher contacted the student repeatedly via e-mail, cell phone text messages and instant messages.
He and his family are getting the help they need to deal with this stressful situation, York Police Detective Dana Ward said.
School officials said Winkis has taught in the Central York district for five years and has been the girls varsity soccer coach for three years.
As a condition of bail, she may not contact the alleged victim or his family, and may not have unsupervised contact with any minors.
Is there a teacher out there who's NOT pranking with the students?
For decades men have been targeted. Its about time they started catching and prosectuing some of the women.
give it up and give me a break, his family is geting the help they need in this stressful situation? Americas preoccupation with sex and what others are doing is getting out of hand. She should be fired , but charged with crimes? Sex is a natural exploration and the kid will be fine. unless they can convince him he will be screwed up his whole life and get him to buy inot the sexual exploitation pyscho babble. As i have said before , johnny can go see Aarnold blow away 300 people in a movie , but if a nipple is shown, no way!!!!!!!
Really, what's the scoop here...a lot of these female teachers would be considered "hot"......
Why are they attacking young boys??? They certainly don't look like they would have a problem getting a date...
pictures please.
That's what I can't figure out. It's not like these women were, um, going hungry.
Psychological issue of getting a thrill from the 'corruption' of innocence.
They get turned on doing it with a young kid they think is the first time for him, or seeing the kid just "awed" if it is new experiences for him.
That's what I can't figure out . . . has this been happening all along and we're just now hearing about it, or is it a new phenomenon?
Yo Bacon, help me out here . . . was there ANY teacher at Dulles who would have been classified as do-able? I can't think of a one.
It must be completely psychological . . . it's not like there's much physical thrill to be had from someone totally inexperienced and (likely) somewhat intimidated.
Has to be completely psychological for exactly the reasons you mentioned.
That, and the thrill of being in power over someone else, kinda a domination thrill of (temporary at least) ownership.
But if I'm going in for domination (this is pure theory, so walk with me, if you will), I'd think I'd get more thrill from dominating someone who's ordinarily tough to subjugate.
However, I'm a mean Texas broad, so perhaps my domme standards are higher.
One would think that the tougher the conquest the better the thrill.
But in such instances the tougher conquests are also more likely to generate higher profile and more visible and more easily acted on proof.
In the case of our esteemed teacher here, people like her go for easy pickins as it is less trouble.
Likely there's more than one psych issue going on with these women.
Unfortunate last name Robin, but you don't have to act it out...
Did a quick search for pics but got nuthin!
Higher? Then how did Tom Cruise get in your closet? Nathan Lane is more masculine. ;-)
I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that in stockinged feet, I'm a cool six inches taller than the gentleman in question.
I remember calls to my parents from upset parents but never was counseling mentioned.
Plus, he's only in my closet 'cause someone insulted his acting ability. His closet residence has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with his sexuality. ;)
That means.. *punching in numbers* ..you're taller than I am.
I heard a theory last week on this topic. More women are getting busted in these matters because there are simply more women principles, counselors, police officers, lawyers, judges, etc then there were say 20-30 yesrd ago.
Back in the day, the males in power (and it was that way) just didn't see it as the crime in the way women in power do. In other words, it got swept under the rug until mothers, wives, and sisters got a look at it. The bottom line is that, while dad isn't too upset, 'mom' doesn't like the neighbor lady down the street doing hanky panky with her 16 year old son.
This made sense to me. Just a thought.
All of these stories are about internet sex. We think that women are not turned on when they see sex on their computer. This is wrong. Women seek sex and act on their feelings because they are human. Men are not the only ones who crave sex, women do too.
Yes. I just don't understand how they can look at the kids as anything but KIDS! Freaky.
Five-ten, baybee!
But I've been known to stretch myself and the truth (what can I say? I'm a Texan!) to claim six feet. It sounds more impressive.
And when I wear those four-inch stiletto-heeled patent-leather boots . . .
Five foot five here.
Not counting the quarter inch spinal compression.
So I wear my issue boots...
And am still short.
Hey.. Julie Strain is only 5 foot 9...
Is pranking students wrong? I know spanking is out of bounds these days.
Carolina hard core ecstacy!
Bet you could test that premise by showing up at the closet in stockinged feet.
I was 5'2"...now I'm 5'1" and shrinking. I envy tall women...sigh.
Wish I was taller myself.
But.. I'm the shortest of the guys in my family.
You're the same height as my sis.
And if I did that, I'd still be standing there! ;)
You just want me to walk on you. Admit it. ;)
I speak truth, Grasshopper.
I'm the only short one out of 6 siblings. I got the leftovers, and there wasn't much there! :-)
BUT...my feet do touch the ground.
Does not wear four-inch stiletto-heeled patent-leather boots... Despite Brokeback Mountain, most Texan men don't.
That'll leave a mark..
I don't remember teachers doing stuff like the article when I was in school.
Of course, I always was told stuff like, "You're more like a brother."
We need pictures in order to determine culpability.
What is striking is that in a family gathering I'm invisible as everyone else is 6 foot.
But the women of the family are all 5 foot 4 and under.
The way I see it:
Short people are more energy efficient. We house a soul just as large as that of taller folks, yet it takes less natural resources to sustain that soul.
Think of the resources we could save if we were all short. Buildings could be shorter...saving much raw material. Clothing would require less material.
AND it took much less food to get me fat than it would to get YOU fat.
Haven't found pictures yet.
What? I was led to beleive she is at least 6 foot 3!

Colt Ford's latest ahead of Saturday show
Colt Ford visits The Rave Saturday night in a show that has been reformatted into a Packers Playoff party. Opening act Chasin' Mason will perform during halftime of the Packers-49ers game and Ford will hit the stage 10 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
The former professional golfer turned country rapper has been riding the success of last year's chart-topping fourth studio album, "Declaration of Independence." While the roughneck album resonated with Ford's growing legion of fans, his brand of in-your-face hick hop has yet to resonate in a big way with country radio. This is actually a bit surprising, since he's long featured big country stars on each of his albums and the guest list on the new album includes Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean and Jake Owens (who will be opening for Aldean at June 29 at Summerfest.) »Read Full Blog Post

The high cost of putting on the Oscars ceremony

At first, pink-hued blush, there's nothing particularly complicated about this sugary confection, in which a cupcake-loving girl must learn the value of moderation - and the importance of eating greens. »Read Full Article(1)
My brush with Team Spielberg
I am at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain, to say the least. Whenever I deal with film industry types I feel like a strung out Dennis Hopper rambling about Marlon Brando's tribal leader in "Apocalypse, Now": "I'm a little man, I'm a little man. He's a great man!"
But when and if Steven Spielberg thanks all "the little people" in an Oscar acceptance speech tonight, I know he will be talking to me. Every year he is nominated and every year, right around the holidays, I get a note from him thanking me for my support. »Read Full Blog Post

Swiss Go To Church Only Out of Habit
Only One in 20 in Switzerland Attends Church Because of Faith
A recent survey conducted in Switzerland found that most Swiss go to church because it's something they have always done – only one out of 20 do so because they believe in God.
The poll, carried out by the research institute gfs-zürich for the Reformed Press weekly Protestant church newspaper, also revealed that around one in five younger members, aged 18 to 39, of Catholic and Protestant churches was considering leaving.

Turkey Dressing
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
This recipe came from my brother in law. This is a staple at his mothers house during holiday dinners. His family forms this into a loaf and bakes it. I am told it is great sliced the next day, pan fried and served with eggs for breakfast. *** The stuffing mix is an approximate. My recipe says one gallon ziplock size bag of bread crumbs, so I'm thinking one regular size bag of commercial mix should do it
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (12 ounce) package bread stuffing mix
- 12 ounces grated parmesan cheese (or more)
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup butter
- garlic
- parsley
- Brown turkey in a skillet. Mix together with all other ingredients and form into a loaf or place into a loaf pan.
- Bake 350 for 30 minutes or until top is golden.

OaklandClubhouse: You've been with the team for a long time [he joined the A's front office in 1995]. How did you get into broadcasting? Was sports broadcasting something that you always wanted to do?
Robert Buan: Not really. I started getting into the sports broadcasting side of things when I was still [in college] at Santa Clara. My senior year there, it worked out to be Steve Nash's freshman year on the basketball team and my interest in sports broadcasting really grew more from that than just baseball by itself. I listened to baseball somewhat when I was growing up in Spokane, Washington, but we didn't really have baseball back then. We had the Mariners. [laughs] They were just terrible. One of my best friends got me listening to Dave Niehaus when we were in high school, but I wouldn't even call that influential at that point, but that was really the background I had on it.
That combined with the stuff I was able to do around college basketball combined with the fact that I was fortunate enough to bomb the LSAT twice right after senior year. [laughs] It was weird because I thought it was a pretty easy test both times that I took it, but my scores would not indicate that. So it was like, let's give that sports broadcasting thing a whirl. KNBR took me on as an associate producer a year later and then the Oakland A's took me on a year after that. And here I am.
OC: Are there moments that you look back on, whether it be big wins or people or players that you have met during your career, that you remember most fondly?
RB: Yeah, there are a lot. My only hesitation in naming names is forgetting some guys who may have been influential. But guys like Tim Hudson and Nick Swisher, and even going back before the A's were really good, guys like John Jaha and Jason Giambi were kind of guys who gave me clubhouse credibility. Guys like David Justice didn't even have to be around that long to have that kind of influence. Obviously the guys who were cool who were around for awhile, that made it even easier to build a friendship or bond.
There have been so many guys who have come through that clubhouse who were just genuinely good people. There have been so many good guys who have been around that I could go on for awhile in naming names.
OC: You got a chance to work with Bill King for a long time. What was he like to work with?
RB: Awesome. It's weird. I actually was thinking about this this morning. Someone was mentioning a news story, I think, and they were talking about people who you think about every day of your life. There are people in my family and then guys like Bill King, guys I think about literally every day of my life. He's had that kind of impact on me, certainly from a career standpoint, but I think even more so, what he taught me about being an individual and living your life. Not just going through the motions of things and going through life according to the rules and regulations, but being your own person instead. Those were some of the things that I took away from being around him as much as anything. Really trying to do things that make a difference and matter.
OC: Was there stuff that he taught you about the game?
RB: The stuff that he taught me about in regards to the game wasn't so much the nuances of the game. It was more his reverence of the history of the game and the guys that he watched on the field or the people that he came across over the course of his career. The way he interacted with people and how he talked about people really, as much as anything.
I would say that the way that he had a reverence for the game and the people around it are the things that I learned the most from him. As far as the game on the field, he really never tried to enforce that on me. If I asked him something, he would give me an opinion, but wouldn't tell me, 'you like that guy?' or 'what are you talking about with that guy?' He was never like that. There are certainly people who will tell you their opinions on a player or a team or a person – even if you don't want to know about it – but he was never like that. He would probably ask my opinion more than the other way around.
I think I kind of learned that from him, too. I learned from him to not only be able to make up my own mind on people and the way that you look at them, but also to have that same approach with other people and letting them make up their own minds about people.
OC: You've also worked with Ken Korach and Ray Fosse for a long time and more recently with Vince Cotroneo. What is your broadcast team like? How do you guys work to put together the broadcast from the pre-game show to the post-game?
RB: I guess probably the first thought is 'very real.' If you are a listener of A's radio, the guys that you hear are no different than the guys that are off-line. You get a sense of who they are. It's not a phony persona. It's not an act. The guys get along and I think that – as I was mentioning with Bill and the people in the game – is the one thing that I have come to love about the game in general is the people that you have a chance to be around, guys like Ken and Vince and Ray.
Ray, actually, is one of the guys who helped me get a job with the team. When I was still at KNBR, I think I had heard about a job opening with the A's and I asked Greg Papa about it and whether he knew anyone over there. He said 'call Ray Fosse and see if he can help you out.' Ray called me maybe a half hour after I left him a message and got me an interview.
They are all genuinely good people. I think they like the game as much as anybody and their work ethic is not topped by anyone. These guys treat the profession of broadcasting on the radio with a tremendous amount of respect. Not to the point where they take themselves too seriously, but it is certainly never going to be an issue with these guys about being serious about what they do.
OC: I know that you have a regular following of Oakland A's fans who call into your show day-in and day-out. The A's have always had a unique fanbase. What is it like to interact with those fans on a daily basis?
RB: I think it is great. I do. I do get that there are some people who get tired of what they call the same people calling the show all of the time. These are people who are, by virtue of the fact that they call into the show all of the time, very interested in the team. But they also have something to say or we wouldn't let them on. They have a pretty good idea of what they are talking about. And you may not agree with what they are talking about, but it's interesting nonetheless. I think that, whether it is my own theory or if others would agree with it, the A's fans who aren't fans of my show are generally not fans of those same callers.
I don't know if [why some don't like the show] is the repetition or if they aren't comfortable in their own skins making up their own ideas, but I like that [the regular callers] are calling in all of the time. I think it is important because it shows that, for better or worse, these guys are fans. They watch what is going on and they have ideas about what is going on with what they see.
I think that is why baseball is such a fun game. I have often equated baseball with soap operas. People watch soap operas because they have the same characters that they follow and while they may do the same stuff and the plot lines are somewhat the same, and maybe the faces and the names change a little bit.
Baseball is kind of the same way. Part of the fun is seeing how the story develops like that. There is nothing more fun, I guess, than talking about what is going on in your soap opera. I think that is where part of the fun of the whole thing is.
OC: Have you noticed a change at all in the questions that you get on your show as it relates to the younger players in the A's system over the past five years or so, given that there is so much more information out there on the Internet now about the minor leagues?
RB: To a degree. My frame of reference is somewhat narrow, particularly when it comes to this position, as I have only been hosting the show since 2000, so for me to really talk beyond that time period, I would really would be speculating myself. I can clearly say that it is something that is looked at now with a great deal of interest, particularly in regards to what [Scout.com] does now and what other people do to try to cover the same stuff, it means there is so much information out there. I think that people enjoy that. They like knowing what is coming up.
David Feldman and I have talked about this a number of times that baseball is great in September because either your team is in it or you get a chance if your team is out of it to see what is coming down the road. In the past, September was the only time where fans got a chance to see what was coming down the pipeline. Now that there is more information available, there's more coverage and websites that you can find more things about the younger players, it kind of opens up that window beyond that one month.
Certainly spring training to a degree was a part of that [getting to know the younger players], as well. There is a great deal of interest in all of that. I don't know if there is more interest than there was in the past, but there is certainly more information available and I think that information helps keep that interest.
OC: Do you enjoy spring training and being able to do the play-by-play on the webcasts?
RB: I do. I love it. It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of work. Essentially, during the regular season there are eight guys who do the stuff on a regular basis that allows us to put together one broadcast that I am doing myself on the webcasts. That's not an excuse so much as an illustration of how much work I have to put in to make it all happen. But I certainly wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it.
The fact that the A's farm system has produced a lot of players who are more often than not able to live up to the billing that we have given them as they come up through the system, I think that is somewhat rewarding [to see those players in spring training]. I get a chance to see some of these guys in their first moments with the big league club – maybe because they are called up from minor league camp for one day – and then I get to see them move up through their careers. It's definitely one of the fun parts of the year.
OC: Is it exciting to see the A's add a player like Matt Holliday in contrast to trading away players like they did the last two years?
RB: I get where you are going with it, but I never really thought of it that way. To me, it's part of the cycle. I don't really see it as, 'oh, well, now the A's are going to add guys.' Because of some of these guys are going to be leaving again soon, as well. It's nice to see, as this year's Hot Stove goes, the A's are players for some of the bigger names that are out there, but I remember in 2001 when Johnny Damon was acquired. Then Jermaine Dye came later that year and there were a number of other possibilities. I do remember how excited I was when the Damon trade happened and that trade included a guy who would later be known as the A's everyday second baseman in Mark Ellis and, of course, Corey Lidle was in that deal, as well.
That is probably the one off-season where I would look back on it and say that it was nice that the team got a lot of the headlines and attention and looked like they were acquiring guys. But just to curb the enthusiasm on some of that, there are certainly limitations on what can happen. No reason not to be excited about it, but there is no reason to start printing playoff tickets yet, either.
OC: You had mentioned to me before that you and Tim Hudson have a joint-venture. What is that project?
RB: We've been friends since he came up to the big leagues. A couple of years ago, I approached him with an idea to do something separate from my A's stuff. I wanted to start up a radio program that was sort of my reaction to all of the negative stories about steroids that were out there at the time and there were a lot of stories out there about players who were good guys and decent human beings who spend time working with charities or helping kids or just being good family men. Those are good stories, but people never hear about them and there is no platform for them to have stories like that told. The country music audience, to me, and country is something that I have been listening to for a long time, it provides that platform that is counter to the dirty laundry that ends up in the news. You can, instead, be positive about some of the things that people are trying to do.
I approached Tim about this idea and it took him just a second to say, 'yeah, I'll be a part of it.' And we came up with Country Fastball. We got on the air with it in March of last year on six stations and we are now on 20 stations in eight different states now. It's growing little by little.
OC: Has he had more time to work on it since his elbow surgery?
RB: Yes and no. [laughs] We aren't really approaching it from that standpoint. He's not fully settled with everything just yet.
OC: Is his recovery going well?
RB: Yeah, it's going as well as can be expected. He has been able to spend some time with the family and they are taking some trips this off-season. There is definitely time for him to regain some of the days that you lose when your life is married to a pocket schedule for seven-and-a-half months a year.
