Home Search Bing Continues Growth Though Gains Are Small
Bing Continues Growth Though Gains Are Small
More than a month after it launched, Microsoft's Bing search engine appears to be picking up some market share from competitors, but so far the numbers are small.
However, the same Web analytics firm that declared Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Bing overtook second-place search engine Yahoo briefly on one of its first days of public use, says Bing did it again this week.
Microsoft launched Bing on June 1, two days ahead of schedule. A few days later, tracking firm StatCounter said its measurements showed that, for June 4, Bing garnered second-place status with 16.28 percent of searches in the U.S. That put it ahead of Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), which had 10.22 percent of searches for that day. Of course, both still ran well behind Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) which had 71.47 percent.
Now, StatCounter says Microsoft did it again -- this time on July 9.
"Microsoft's Bing search engine overtook Yahoo [on July 9] in U.S. usage ... Bing took 12.9 percent of the US market ahead of Yahoo's 10.15 percent but still well behind market leader Google at 74.9 percent," a statement from the firm said.
StatCounter market share figures for June still have Bing in overall third place -- Microsoft had 8.23 percent share in the U.S. behind Yahoo at 11.04 percent and Google at 78.48 percent, the company said.
Meanwhile, data from another analytics firm, Hitwise, actually shows Microsoft's share of searches declined -- albeit by a fraction of a percent -- in June.
Hitwise, which is owned by Experian, said that Microsoft's share fell from 5.64 percent in May (when Microsoft was still running Live Search and MSN Search) to 5.25 percent for June (after the transition to Bing). That constituted a year-over-year share decline of 4percent.
It's not all bad news for Bing, however. Even though Google's share grew seven percent year over year, Yahoo lost 17 percent during the same period.
Perhaps surprisingly, Hitwise also shows Microsoft's share growing 25 percent per week on average for its first month of use. Those numbers show Bing at 3.43 percent at the end of its first week of use, but growing to 6.63 percent of all U.S. searches for the week ending June 27.
While Bing's early performance is nothing to sneeze at, it will take time for Microsoft's already heavy investment in search to begin to pay off -- if it does. However, company CEO Steve Ballmer told an audience in Chicago mid-month that he's committed to spending as much as 5 to 10 percent of Microsoft's operating income over the next five years in order to make Bing succeed.
Given that the company brought in $22.5 billion in operating income in fiscal 2008 -- Microsoft's latest assault on fortress Google will not come cheaply.

This is a critical, condensed, and insightful review of the book Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement, 8th edition, by Michael R. Leming and George E. Dickinson (2016). I am working on a Master of Divinity, so the inclusion of the practical counselling and multifaceted view point that this book offers is a must. I will use this as a Summary introduction to a longer paper to include a response and reflection upon the material. I have a poetic voice in my writing, and often use many complex sentences. Thank you for your help.
There is mystery in death, dying and even bereavement. Everyone is significantly curious about what happens when one is dying and even dead (Leming & Dickinson, 2015). The bereavement process on the other hand is an entirely different platform and experience for those that are left behind. Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement, is textbook that is authored by two sociology professors; Michael R. Leming and George E. Dickinson. This is thus a book about thanatology, which is basically the study of dying death and the phenomenon related. Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement, in its eighth edition was pushed in the year 2015, at Cengage Learning (Leming & Dickinson, 2015). The book has a total of 624 pages through which the reader's mind is taken through the processes of death, dying and bereavement. The perspective on the book is largely social to help the audience better connect with the content at a personal and social level. As such it would be easily be classified under sociology or social sciences. For the readers who are interested in this particular edition, the book is under the ISBN 1305537610, 9781305537613 (Leming & Dickinson, 2015). This is a book that is grounded in research and theory to bring the audience to place where they can best establish their feelings and handle the processes of death and grieving.
There are thirteen chapters in the book where the authors bring out some of the most intriguing research and theory information to the readers (Dying Matters, 2017). The authors are able to connect with the rest of the editions that have come before for the readers that have read them and even those that have not (Scicluna, 2001). The authors make reference to the American Experience of Death with some significantly vivid images of some of the experiences that the country has experienced (Leming & Dickinson, 2015). Other than the experiences that most of the people have had in their adult life, there is also reference to the elements of the way that people were brought up and how it impacts the understanding on the subject matter (Dying Matters, 2017). This is crucial as different people will interpret death and dying from very different perspectives, given the fact that they have been exposed to different experiences growing up.

You never know when it comes to writing. Words appear in your mind, some stick, and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of them. So, you write them down, hoping that will ease the burden these words have imposed.
I've had certain words and phrases hanging around for a couple years. When I finally started writing them down, it became clear their presence would not be in the form of a essay or article or short story or screenplay, but in the form of a poem. The more I worked on them, the more it seemed they could be lyrics for a song. Hmm.
The little I know about music is best summed up as: I really don't know much about music. A few chords, a couple songs, a little bit of rhythm. But I like music, especially blues and rock. And I could picture the words I wrote being sung in one of these genres, most likely blues.
It was apparent that if I ever wanted to see these words put into music, I'd need help. I thought about who these words might fit, and could sing them. It didn't take long to come up with the name of Eric Burdon, whose music I have enjoyed since the 1960s. I've watched him perform on many occasions and even had a chance to meet and interview him for an article I was writing. By looking at Eric's CDs, I learned that he wrote some of his music and collaborated with others. So, unaware of the ways of the profession, I sent a query to him, describing my lyrics and asking him if he'd like to supply the music part. I wasn't optimistic about getting a response, so I wasn't disappointed that I didn't hear from him after a year.
Still, I wasn't giving up either. I thought my words had value and that someone else might agree. So, I looked on some of Eric's later CDs and noted the other people who write with him. When I narrowed the field down to my favorite songs, there was a common denominator: Terry Wilson. I did some research on Terry and was very impressed at his background and experiences.
When I contacted Terry with my idea, I heard back within a couple weeks. "Sure," he said, "send along what you have. It sounds interesting." Now that in itself would have been good for me, but it got better. When I sent the lyrics to him, he told me he would like to collaborate on the music. He also said that he was really busy with other projects, but he'd get to it when he could. He encouraged me to stay in touch.
Hey, no problem. I could do that. So, for the next six months I sent him an e-mail checking-in. His responses were polite and encouraging. The spring passed, then the summer. When I wrote to him in November, he said he was actually working on the song. And then on Thanksgiving (of all days!), he sent his first run at the song, or whatever you call a rough draft in music. I was blown away!
Another school year has come to an end, and with it, another ending of sorts: my work as a writing consultant. I have been consulting with schools since 2000, doing trainings, teaching classes, modeling lessons, and providing other professional development activities to teachers. I have done this through our local education service district as well as privately.
During these 18 years I've had the pleasure of working with teachers in all 16 school districts in the county—Lane—where I live. I've been fortunate to have worked in various states from Vermont to California and in epic towns, from Burlington, home of the International Rotten Sneaker Contest to Victorville, the residence of my cowboy hero, Roy Rogers. On several occasions, I traveled to Buenos Aires to work with teachers at the Lincoln International School. These trips led to great adventures in Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru.
Doing this work has been a blast! I have immensely enjoyed working with people committed to teaching kids. Based on the feedback I've gotten over the years, I believe I have added value to their teaching lives and to the lives of their students. That's very gratifying.
"the willing," the people who are interested in professional growth.
And, that's what I've been able to do these last few years. I've been a part of the STELLAR grant at the University of Oregon, which taught participants visual thinking strategies. I was the writing resource person, accessible to any and all participating. This past year I also worked as a consultant for the Pleasant Hill School District, assisting teachers who wanted to enhance their writing programs. Both experiences combined to make this an ideal conclusion to my consulting days (I've even been able to place my professional books and materials with enthusiastic recipients!).
So, what happens now? What's next on the life agenda? Well, for one, there will be writing. Projects to finish, ideas to develop, words to play with. And, of course, I'll keep visiting classrooms to share with students the joys and challenges of writing. But beyond that, who knows. Maybe I'll do the things retired people do. Travel sounds good. So do photography, painting, and guitar playing. And, I'll make sure to devote some time to investigating life's many mysteries, like why people post No Trespassing signs on their homes and why slow drivers speed up when they come to passing lanes.
It's been a good run. A darn good one. I'm excited to see what happens next.
A good run on the Nile River.
Every book has a life, and I am sad to say that another of my books has joined the others that have "passed." I wrote Passage: A dog's journey west with Lewis and Clark to share the Corps of Discovery adventure with kids. I wanted to make the book interactive and engaging so I wrote it as an activity book in which readers were asked questions and invited to add to illustrations. Because it was not a "traditional" book, none of the "traditional" publishers I queried were interested.
All the rejections left me in a quandary. Should I try more publishers? Or, should I just let it go and move on to other things? That's really hard to do when you are invested in a project, but I was at the end of my publisher list.
Fortunately, I explored another option: producing the book myself. Now this was 2002, before CreateSpace and other popular print-on-demand options that are available today. More importantly, it was also before self-publishing had gained the acceptance that it now has.
I had experience working with publishers, having had some 20 books already published. But I was out of my element in the self-publishing world. However, I went for it anyway and proceeded to find an illustrator, designer, and a printer. In order to keep the per-item cost down, I had to have 2,000 books printed, which was quite a blow to my savings account. And that was just the beginning. I then had to sell all the books in order to make my money back and, if possible, earn some money for my efforts.
Fortunately again, it was around the time the nation was commemorating the Lewis and Clark expedition, so there was a lot of interest in the topic. I sold the books to bookstores and museums and Lewis & Clark organizations. I sold class sets of them to teachers. When the Oregon National Guard became interested in the books for their outreach program, we did another press run of 2,000 books!
The books kept selling, and when the inventory of books became low, a small publisher wanted to produce more copies. Well, of course! When their inventory got low they decided not to print more. They gave me the remaining copies and I continued to sell them, the last sales going to Camp Wood in Illinois (where L&C started their journey) and Fort Clatsop in Oregon (the western end of their journey). Fitting, huh?
So now the books are gone (I kept one of each printing as mementos) but the experience of doing this project from idea to sales will remain with me for a long, long time.

In 2002, the Veterans Oral History Project was launched at the Oldham County History Center under the direction of then executive director, Anita Fritz. In the early years, the program captured oral histories of WWII veterans.
The following interview was conducted by Dennis Fritz on Elmer R. Staib (1919-2015). Elmer was born in Louisville, son of John and Elizabeth Staib. He served in General Patton's 3rd Army, A Co. 610 Tank Destroyer Unit in the European Theatre. Col. Staib served in every major European battle, fighting in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge and Central Europe. He was part of the invasion of Normandy and the liberation of Paris.

WWII Veteran, A Co.610 Tank Destroyer Unit
I went into the National Guard when I was 17 in 1937; I lied about my age (you were supposed to be 18). I was a member of the 138th Field Artillery National Guard. We were called into active duty on January 17, 1941. I was commissioned as Lieutenant at Camp Hood, Texas in 1942 and assigned the 610th Tank Battalion. I was assigned an anti-tank outfit, a platoon, of about 33 men. Our job was to protect the infantry from enemy tanks.
Each tank had a driver and assistant driver who handled the radio. Then there is a loader to load the gun, a gunner to fire the gun and a Tank Commander to supervise all of that and he is usually up in the turret.
We received our assignment in Europe in January 1944. We went over in The Amsterdam; it was a Dutch ship; it had been a cruise ship. I would say there were 4,000 or 5,000 soldiers aboard. We landed in Scotland and got settled then we went to Normandy, Utah Beach.
We were originally scheduled to go in on D-Day. Fortunately, we didn't make it because they slaughtered those guys, as you well know. We didn't have our equipment yet; hadn't checked it out. So we didn't go in on D-Day. D-Day was June the 6th, 1944, and we didn't get there until nearly August, but the whole thing was still right there in Normandy. They hadn't pulled out yet. Of course, I was assigned to the Third Army, Patton. As soon as he got everything on the ground in France, well that's when they started to push out and move out. Meantime, they were all sort of bunched up in that part of Normandy.

What our company did, we supplied the anti-tank resistance for the infantry. The infantry division is made up of several regiments and battalions and companies and platoons, you know. My unit, my four guns, was assigned to a battalion. Sometimes I would have to split that, take two guns over here and two guns over here. They would go with what they call a combat team. The infantry would have one or two companies and tanks and anti-tanks, which we were, and the other crew that went with that outfit. And that's what drove towards the enemy and caught the enemy and penetrated whatever or pushed back, wherever you want.
We'd go so far so fast, that we would be extended out too far from our supplies, and we would have to stop. Patton was a great pusher, you know. He believed in not sitting still at all. None of this digging holes and staying there, you know, like they used to do in WWI, trench warfare or any that stuff. He believed in moving, moving, moving, which we did. We would get so far ahead that we were in danger of somebody coming in behind us. And we would maybe run low on fuel. If we were in any action, we might be running low on ammunition, but we always kept a reserve of fuel and ammunition in case we needed it.

When you are on these teams, the only thing between you and the enemy is No Man's Land. Nobody occupies that land. You occupy this side. The enemy occupies that side, and in between is No Man's Land. When you go into No Man's Land, you don't know what you are going to run into, what kind of mines, artillery fire, the infantry fire, anti-tank and tank fire. So you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. Of course, you do receive injuries, even deaths. In one instance, for instance, we were in the Battle of the Bulge. We were in a valley going up a very steep hill –this is in winter about December I guess – it was cold and a shell came over the hill. We were going up the valley, going up the hill and landed in the turret of one of my tanks. It killed two of the guys, blew the other two out of there, and they were not hurt. Weird things like that happened. Never know who is going to be hurt or what not. When I got talking to the young commanders, usually a sergeant, "What happened today?" Well, somebody got hurt or he got wounded or he got killed.
Part two will be in next week's column when Staib continues his story. You can contact Nancy Stearns Theiss at nancystheiss@gmail.com.

Last weekend, we loaded up the family truckster and hit the highway. We were feeling wild. We were feeling adventurous. We were feeling a tad bit nauseated from some rather ill-advised turkey jerky bought at a Tyler, Texas Chevron station. But that didn't matter because we were going off the grid, baby. Our family of four was on the move. We were like the legendary Jack Kerouac—if Jack Kerouac had driven a sensible, yet stylish Volvo sedan and listened to "The Best of The Miami Sound Machine" until his wife threw the CD out the window at a passing armadillo. The world was ours!
But then, after I apologized and was let back in the car, we all settled into the routine that would keep us occupied for the next 300 or so miles. That routine being: My husband Chris would talk about the car's mileage, 9-year-old Sam would spout arcane college football statistics, 7-year-old Jack would work on his stand-up comedy routine and I would glowingly reminisce about my employment history.
Chris: Why, look! I'm getting 38 miles a gallon! Isn't that fantastic? Before I was getting 36 miles a gallon, but now I'm getting 38 miles a gallon! I wonder if I'll soon get 39 miles a gallon? Let's discuss this for hours and hours!
Sam: Did you know that in 1948 the Central Michigan Chippewas led the Mid-America conference with the most rushing yards during a tornado? Here, let me tell you all about it in vivid detail.
Jack: What do you get if you cross me with a corn dog? A stick! Thank you ladies and gentlemen! I'll be here all week!
I think it's obvious why we usually travel via airplane in four separate rows.
Many hours later, we finally arrived at our destination and headed off to the reason we were there in the first place: The University of Nevada v. Louisiana Tech football game. As we walked into the stadium to take our front row seats at the 50 yard line, Chris and the boys were decked out in Nevada jerseys and hats, which we thought was a great idea—until we noticed that the stadium had approximately 15,000 Louisiana Tech fans and just a pathetic 14 Nevada fans, including us. Needless to say, it was a bit intimidating. Especially when Nevada would score and the entire stadium fell silent except for our tiny row.
The game looked like it was going to end in a Nevada victory, so when I saw another Wolfpack fan at the snack stand, I asked him if he was interested in forming a human chain to get out of the stadium. Unfortunately, he seemed like he'd rather take his chances being pummeled by Louisiana fans than risk touching my elbow, so we braved our way over to the locker room by ourselves. Chris and the boys then posed for a picture with Nevada's amazing, Heisman contender of a quarterback while I looked up beginner jujitsu moves on my iPhone, and we then ran back to our car as fast as we could and laid rubber.
The next morning, fresh off a Waffle House bender, we said good-bye to the great state of Louisiana (which, in all honesty, has probably the friendliest people I've ever met) and got back in the family truckster for a speedy trip home.
Chris: I'm getting 39 miles to the gallon! Before I was getting 38, but now I'm getting 39! I wonder if I'll ever get 40 miles to the gallon? Let's discuss this for hours and hours!
Sam: Mommy, did you know that the San Dimas Community College Raptors led their division in most touchdown passes caught while humming show tunes? Here, let me tell you in vivid detail.
Jack: What'd the skunk say to the pickle? Hey, stinker! (knock, knock) Is this thing on?
Me: That was the summer I worked at the Port of Subs sandwich shop as the Oil and Vinegar Midshipsman. Until I was fired for having a "bad attitude." Whatever. Like I needed that crappy job, anyway.
Six very long hours later, we screeched back into our driveway, flung open the car doors and ran off in four separate directions. Chris to his computer, Sam to his football, Jack to his toys and me to the couch with a glass of wine, a bowl of soup and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on my DVR.
You know, just like Jack Kerouac would have done it.
I can hardly wait until next week when we drive to Nevada.
I was depressed last night about the cost of flying to Memphis in a few weeks. I'm no longer depressed.
Hilarious as usual, Miss Wendi.
Every time I even begin to think that it would be a good idea to load all four kids into the Suburban and head for Atlanta, I'm going to read this.
And THAT is exactly why we don't take roadtrips as a family……EVER!!! BTW, I think your husband and mine are related. On a trip from Texas to the Garden State three years ago, my husband spent the entire trip (2 & 1/2 days) calculating his mileage.
I so wish I could have come with you. To the couch, I mean.
In my car we listen to my 6 year old daughter warble Taylor Swift songs and my husband mutter about how it's my fault the girl can't carry a tune. But I haven't heard his remark because I'm following the latest #mommyblogger #outrage on Twitter.
My mom used to suggest a road trip every few years, then would come to her senses, whew. My son spent 2 years complaining about our trip from CA to Utah, but now he's somehow got fond memories and want to do it again 🙂 Thanks for the laugh on this dreary morning.
My favorite ridiculously named hair salon will always be "Hair It Is!" You stay classy, Austin, TX.
Now I'm wondering what my road trip is gonna be like…we're gonna drive next summer from Tallahassee, Fl to NYC (BABY!)…I may have to by a box of wine (or ten) just to get me thru. LOVED the post, Wendi!
I think sometimes a road trip is just what ya need.
Fire up Chips! Any road trip with narrative about the wonderful CMU Chippewas can't be all bad. Next time, take a detour to Mount Pleasant, watch a football game, blow all your money at the casino and get shitfaced on firewater at the reservation! oooooowaaahhhh!
Subject line: My dream has come true!
I cannot WAIT for him to get home and tell me all about it.
This makes me feel better about my looming 10-hour-each-way trip to and from Tennessee with my bickering, nagging, guilt-tripping grandparents in a Prius in two weeks. I laughed reading this whole thing. Ahhh, road trips.
I am really sorry that you spent 6 hours driving all that way to …..shreveport. ? I hope you were at least able to locate the nearest Chik Fil A in Bossier City. And that you did hit some exciting Buc-cees on the trip bcuz based on your summary, that might have been a high point….pig roasters *and* deer corn FY!
Apparently men are all the same. My husband does that whole mileage checker thing as well. In general, I try like hell to avoid long trips with him as he views them as an indication that I would like to hear all the minutia about his investment trading activities. Or whether or not he should trade his car in for a different one. Or maybe trade his server out for different one that will run un-noticeably faster. He can perseverate about anything for hours. The trip from Denver to Omaha after we totaled our car was six hours of hell in which he described in various ways his amazement at how we got hit by "The ONLY OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD!" I don't think my concussion caused nearly the headache that he ultimately did.
What a good wife and mother you are. I cannot believe you went all the way there and immediately back, for a game.
You're going straight up…good woman.
But did he get to 40? I have to know!!
I laughed out loud about the sad wrapping. See… you're wrapping didn't make at least one person sad.
Oh those fascinating miles per gallon.
See you at the Hairy Situation!
Love it! Wow, Chris must be related to my dad! My Dad is OBSESSED with the cars gas mileage and gas prices. This obsession has been going on for years. I could get back from a life changing vacation and the first question is always, what were the gas prices? or What did ya get for gas mileage? Cripes!
I love your road trip!
I find that Nacho Cheese Doritos will counteract the Cool Ranch smell but you have to follow it up with some Cheetos and a diet Dr. Pepper.
Oh how I loved this. I almost want to take a road trip with your family. Notice how I said "almost"?
After many, many, many, many miles of road trips (PA to FL, Toronto, NC, Boston, Upstate NY, MI…)with 4 little blessings let me give you some tips. First, DVD players with Spongebob are key. Action changes every 11 mins – just when they start to get board then wham!, new story. I have 5 seasons. That's 35 hours of non-fighting quiet. Second, LOT'S O' SNACKS. For you of course. Third, a sound system that allows you to have the music only play in the front and then an Ipod full of not-kid-friendly music. Fourth, you drive so your hubby can deal with the "I'm hungry, I'm thristy, I think I'm going to yarf." And finally duct tape and a warning "we are all going to have a good trip and not make mommy crazy". Thanks, I'll be here all week.
Great blog but REALLY loved the "I Love My Ducks" video link at the end even more. Actually, I'm a Husky but my son is a Duck. Since I spent way more money sending him to Eugene than I spent at WA, I'm claiming Duck rights. Win The Day!
My dad was so obsessed with gas and mileage that when he filled up he would write everything down. Mind you this was the late 70's early 80's. When my husband and I moved from Austin last year I was the one telling him to "keep those gas receipts "cause we can write that off on our taxes along with our other moving expenses". That was a trip I don't think I want to drive again, especially with 2 angry cats. You just can't reason with them at all and the sedatives didn't work either! Both mine and theirs.
Okay. That made me forget my knee pain and the fact that the mean doctor wants me to just take plain old Tyenol. I am wiping the tears from my face and my sides hurt more than the knee. Brava! And for heaven's sake, take a little sippy cup of Dr. Jack or something for the next road trip!
Next time might I suggest buying some Mad Libs? Then you spend several hours trying to explain the meaning of adverbs. I know I enjoyed 8 long hours of that this summer.
Wait, you went to watch a football game? Do they not have TV is Texas?
I think everything you write is funny, but this is even more whackadoodle than most. We should totally get your husband and my dad together on the "Fascinating Facts About Gas Mileage" tour on the Lower 48.
Oh. My. God. You love football just as much as your son does. Don't lie. You knew those "arcane" stats off the top of your head. Those are the sheep you count when falling asleep! Well. Either that or you fall asleep playing eye-spy trying to find facial lines on RHOBH. Glad you survived Loosiana.
still laughing…..so hard….can't hardly type.
Ugh, I hate football, so right away you seem like a superstar wife and mother to endure something like that.
However, I do love those Beverly Hills Housewives so I would stay at your house and set the DVR for you if you ever needed someone to do that.
Road trips are not for the faint of heart. With kids, you are taking your life or sanity into your own hands. I prefer a Thelma and Louise trip myself.

Community Supported Doula Training: Join Bebo Mia for our 17th session!
Olivia Scobie Counselling is a generous sponsor for the Fall 2018 Maternal Support Practitioner training.
We don't know about you, but we are having a tough time leaving the beach/mountains/pool to get back into the office! We are though, we promise… We are making sure everything is ready for our most exciting launch time… September! And that means that we are opening up the scholarship program for our next semester. We have already opened registration for our Maternal Support Practitioner (aka doula) training* & certification which starts September 13th, 2018!
As we come into our 17th class for Fall 2018, we are bursting excited about how our program has grown and matured over the years. Our training is live & online and has been built on four foundational pillars. They are: teaching excellence, cultivating community, ongoing mentorship and holistic advocacy.
Our mission is to connect women** to their intrinsic value & power. One of the ways we aim to do this is by offering the most comprehensive combined fertility, birth & postpartum doula training! Our team of instructors are diverse and fun and super interesting. Collectively we are committed to changing the landscape of birth experiences across the globe. By improving birth outcomes together, we can help deepen the connections of families and decrease the occurrence of postpartum mood disorders.
Our team offers intensive support throughout the entire process. Nervous about your first client in labour? We are right there next to you! Reach out and we will talk to you to get you ready! Not sure how to market your business? We will help you with that too!
Our doula training is so much more than providing you with the skills you will need to do doula work. It is a community. It is a group of cheerleaders. It is a squad in your corner – it's some legit #squadgoals.
Work on your doula business with friends!
We know that not everyone can afford the education necessary for their dream career. Globally, women, especially women with children in their care, miss out on educational opportunities which could lead to an earning potential. This is something that we are working to overcome at bebo mia inc.
One of the other ways our mission impacts the world is that we believe that education, especially education that will support your income, is power. Each year bebo mia inc. offers scholarship placements to women in financial need so that they can complete our Maternal Support Practitioner training and launch their doula careers.
Our next Maternal Support Practitioner training session begins Thursday September 13th, 2018 at 7pm EST. Our training runs for 15 weeks (plus a bonus week!) and covers fertility, pregnancy, the postnatal period AND business.
All of the classes are taught LIVE in our online classroom, so you can interact, ask questions, and make sure you are confident with the material. With our training taking place online it eliminates the need and costly expense for care for your children while you are in class, and did we mention the live classes are also recorded? You get to listen anytime, anywhere, which is the ideal fit for your busy schedule.
Our doula family is here to help you thrive and grow a profitable business!
Community is such a crucial aspect of our training.
The people who have graduated from our program are from all over the world and yet there is a constant feeling of closeness and connection in our classes and cohort specific Facebook support groups. We all give and receive an incredible amount of information and praise as we go through the training and beyond. It never feels like we are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles.
Olivia is a Toronto Doula & Counsellor, and a repeat sponsor for the Bebo Mia Maternal Support Practitioner training.
We have an amazing sponsor this session, Olivia Scobie Counselling. Her generosity will provide an additional spot in the Fall 2018 training. She is a repeat sponsor and she provided an additional place in the Spring 2018 training – you can read all about the winner of the Olivia Scobie Counselling scholarship here.

An eco-city for the future: Ready to rise
by Volvo Construction Equipment (Europe, Asia)
With 90% of the infrastructure now completed, the eco-friendly Lusail City is starting to blossom in the desert of Qatar – just like the local flower it is named after.
Like the desert flowers that lie dormant in the sand for years and then burst suddenly into life when the rains come, the environmentally smart city of Lusail in Qatar has been building momentum and is now about to come alive. Hundreds of construction machines of all sorts – many of them from Volvo Construction Equipment – and a workforce of over 40,000 people, have been on site day-and-night for more than a decade, forming, shaping and establishing the essential ingredients that an entirely new city in the desert requires.
By the start of 2019 it was reported that 90% of infrastructure for the 38 km2 new coastal city on the outskirts of Doha was completed. This has been a colossal undertaking involving moving millions of cubic meters of sand, earth and rock in order to create new coastline features, an entirely new power network, not to mention state-of-the art water and waste treatment plants, a 33 km light transport system and underground pedestrian tunnels.
One important climate-friendly feature – especially so in a country where temperatures can exceed 50 degrees Celcius – is a district cooling system. Incorporating 175 km of piping, the system is expected to save an estimated 200,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Six main roads now link the city – which connect to Doha in the south, to the Lusail Highway in the east and north, and connect to the Al Khor Highway in the west.
Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah, CEO of Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company, who is developing the city, said Lusail would "continue to serve as an example and a milestone" in the history of environmentally smart cities. He was speaking at the opening of the Lusail Marina Walkway, a new local landmark that occupies 142,600 m2, including a 4.2km long sea façade facing the Arabian Gulf, and attractive natural landscapes, green spaces and wide corridors. The marina is a gateway to the city, with 16 km of tree lined streets welcoming the 250,000 residents and thousands of tourists that will flock to the 22 new hotels that are planned when the city is completed.
A NOMADIC PARADISE
With the city's infrastructure now largely in place, Lusail City will now emerge from the desert, with several largescale projects already underway. One of the most famous is the Lusail Stadium – the iconic football venue that will stage the opening and closing of Qatar's hosting of the World Cup in 2022. The stadium, a J/V between HBK Contracting Co. and China Railway Construction Corp, will be a showpiece of its kind, have a capacity of 80,000 football fans, and is already well advanced – with completion slated for 2020. Another notable building will be the Burj Alfardan – a landmark building that will command the Lusail skyline. Incorporating Qatari design influences with contemporary thinking, the building has been awarded a 3-star Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) rating, highlighting its focus on eco-friendly practices.
The city is proving to be a model for climate-conscious cities worldwide, and not just when the city is completed. The construction process also dictates that the environmental impact be minimized. This is being done by recycling and reusing materials, on-and-off site, and using local materials as much as possible, to reduce transport. The materials themselves are responsibly sourced and created in a way that makes disassembly and reuse/recycling easy.
More than a decade creating the blank canvas for a new city in the desert to be painted on, Lusail City is about to blossom into color and life.

I've always been a fan of time travel stories, but I never thought it was possible outside of books or movies. There are just too many logical problems with the process. But one morning recently, to my surprise and delight, as I came downstairs in my house a box blinked into existence before my foggy eyes. As I approached the mysterious box a man popped into existence as well. He was old, with a faint air of oddness and exoticism and an alarming frizz of silvery hair coming out of his ears. He looked delighted to see me.
"Hi, I'm from the future." He exclaimed. "Love the blog" He stuck out a wrinkly, gnarled hand that looked like the root system of a tree growing in rocky ground.
"Really?" I replied, shaking the hand. "What blog posts in particular are you keen on?"
"You don't want to know about the future?"
"Oh, sure." I said. "What ends up happening with my blog in the future?"
"I can't tell you." He replied chuckling. Apparently I'd done something humorous.
"Is this one of those time travel conceits where you have to follow a bunch of convenient rules?" I asked.
He gave me a sideways look. "Not exactly. It's like, no one agrees to stay on the planet and not just spin off into space. It's spontaneously enforced, you know, by gravity."
I nodded at him to proceed.
"All right." He said. Then, surprised by something, he held up his hand for a time out. He hacked up some phlegm for awhile, then, unphased, continued. "So it turns out that time travel, while possible, is super finicky. We can travel to the past, but the course of history is unchangeable. If you try to change it it won't let you. You can go back into the past and do things, see stuff, talk to people, but if anything you do has any kind of ripple effect on the future it simply won't happen."
"I don't understand. How does it "not happen"?"
"On the big scale, the time machine simply doesn't work most of the time. If someone wants to go back for the wrong reasons, or to the wrong place or time, as far as changing history is concerned, then the time machine simply won't work. At least that's the theory. But it's a pretty sound one. And if someone does go back and starts to say or do the wrong thing, like if I told you an essential future event, I'd pop back to the future before I could do it. In fact, that's how my return trip works. The time machine only goes backwards. I go back to my present simply by trying to change the past on purpose. Neat, huh?"
"I guess." I said hesitantly. "So what brings you to me?"
"My blog?" I asked. "Does it get important and famous?"
"Who knows?" He said. "Well I do, but I'd probably disappear if I tried to tell you. And you have to take anything a time traveler says with a grain of salt anyway. A person can't stay in the past for more than two seconds without learning to get cagey about the truth."
"So, my blog..." I encouraged.
"Right. Well, sometimes there are loops." The time traveler said.
"Yeah. So sometimes there are incidences where it is clear in the future that something in the past had to have been affected by time travel. If that's true then it is possible to go back in time and make it happen."
"Weird." I said. "So is that happening now?"
He put a finger against his knobby nose, tapped, and nodded. "You write a lot of blog posts where you do these interviews with people that you couldn't have done without using a time machine."
"But are you sure I didn't just make them up?" I asked. "It totally sounds like something I'd make up."
"Well, I'm here, so, oddly, that kind of seals it." He said.
"But what if you didn't come? Why did you come? What about free will?" I asked, confused by all these issues at once.
He shook his head in a bemused way that reminded me alarmingly of myself. "I think the sad thing about time travel is that it's no different from any other exciting new technology, like the Internet. It seems miraculous. It is miraculous. But it ends up solving nothing. It provides no real answers to anything important. And it's only just barely entertaining enough to be irresistible."
"Aren't you a ray of sunshine." I said smiling. I rather liked him.
"Chip off the old block." He replied grinning. Then he vanished, with a slightly surprised look, into thin air.
But the box was still there. It had a nice stocking cap in it. You could type instructions in the inside of it, on an odd sort of mini cloth keyboard, like where and/or when and/or to whom to go to. Then you put the hat on and it takes you there, sort of. It weirdly interprets your inputs a good deal of the time. And actually it only works at all like once out of every hundred times. I think I'm supposed to interview celebrities in it.
So far I've only managed to get to Shakespeare.
I could barely understand him. He didn't seem to much appreciate the blog posts I gave him to read. But I may have misread his body language.

Structure, force balance, and topology of Earth's magnetopause.
The magnetopause deflects the solar wind plasma and confines Earth's magnetic field. We combine measurements made by the four spacecraft of the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission to demonstrate how the plasma and magnetic forces at the boundary affect the interaction between the shocked solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. We compare these forces with the plasma pressure and examine the electron distribution function. We find that the magnetopause has sublayers with thickness comparable to the ion scale. Small pockets of low magnetic field strength, small radius of curvature, and high electric current mark the electron diffusion region. The flow of electrons, parallel and antiparallel to the magnetic field, reveals a complex topology with the creation of magnetic ropes at the boundary.

This salvaged multi piece polychrome terracotta cherub frieze was one of 12 that were carefully removed, pieced back together and restored to their original incredible glory from the famous Southern Hotel in Baltimore. The Southern Hotel was located on the corner of East Redwood and Light streets in Baltimore, Maryland. The 14-story, 400-room hotel was designed by Otto B. Simonson and built by Abraham J. Fink. The hotel opened March 7, 1918, and became known for the posh nightclub on its roof, the Spanish Villa. The Southern Hotel closed on December 10, 1964. This single remaining cherub can now be seen at our 400 Gilligan St, Scranton, PA warehouse.
Italian Rococo terracotta frieze in superb condition from the mid-18th century.
A wonderful statue for the garden. Exceptional work and good quality.

An olfactory journey, from the humid forests of the Albera Massif and the Salines Mountains, following the Muga River across the plain to its mouth in the Gulf of Roses and the coves of Cap de Creus coastline.
This set contains three 10 ml bottles, containing each of the LANDSCAPE SCENTS (BOSC, MUGA and CALA). Without a doubt, this is the best way to take a dive into the olfactory essence of the Empordà and discover which of our interpretations of the landscape best suits your mood at the moment or your personal scent. It is also the perfect gift to acquaint someone with the brand or to introduce them through fragrance to this beautiful region.
Enjoy the properties of their 100% natural ingredients (see uses and properties for each of the LANDSCAPE SCENTS).
Very important: shake before use, since they have not been filtered in order to preserve all their natural properties and their complex aromatic richness.


Fall has arrived and will soon award us with its beautiful colors. There may be no better way to experience these colors than riding a motorcycle on the open roads. Fall also starts the winding down of our riding season and at the same time, gives us some of our best and most colorful scenic rides.
As the leaves start showing there vibrant colors they also start to fall, blow around, and pile up. This piling up of leaves happens not only on our lawns and driveways, but also on the roads causing multiple road hazards. This is the Beast side of fall that we must endure.
We may assume that wet leaves offer less traction than dry leaves; this might be true. The real question is how dry are the leaves. Leaves hold moisture and as they start to decay they generate more moisture. The leaves on the top of a patch or pile may appear to be dry and blowing around. However the leaves underneath, on the road surface, may be wet and starting to decay causing very slippery oil like conditions. This condition can be very dangerous especially when stopping, accelerating and cornering. When riding you would always do your best to avoid oil on the road. Likewise, you should do your best to avoid leaves.
Another serious condition caused by falling leaves is the covering and camouflaging of road hazards. What may appear to be a small pile of leaves may not be a pile at all but in fact a few leaves covering an obstruction on the road such as a rock, stick, or chunk of asphalt. Patches of leaves may also cover other serious road obstructions such as potholes, large cracks, and uneven road surfaces. All of these serious obstructions could cause you to lose control of your motorcycle.
The best thing to do while enjoying all the beauty of a fall ride is to make an effort to avoid riding through those tempting piles and patches of leaves.
Enjoy the fall, ride safe, and get out there and see those beautiful colors!


Getting ready for your big day takes a lot of planning. Many women start checking out reception halls and wedding gowns as soon as the engagement ring goes on their finger. However, your makeup is an equally important part of your big day. If you are wondering how much is a wedding makeup artist and what to expect, let us clear up the considerations that will help you make the right choice.
This is your wedding day, not the chance for your cousin/neighbor/whoever to experiment with some cool look they saw in a fashion magazine. You deserve to have experienced makeup artists like Shannella Dupuis and our team handle your makeup affairs.
At MBS Makeup, you can see multiple photos on our website and social media accounts to see proof of the excellent services we have provided to many beautiful brides. There are also websites and Yelp reviews that showcase the work we have done for brides in the past. You deserve to have a makeup team that has a proven track record and is recognized as a leader in the industry.
While experience is great, so is using the correct products. Before hiring any makeup artist, you should inquire about the brands of makeup and application tools used by the staff. If you aren't sure about some of them, check out the brand names for yourself. Many of the top makeup manufacturers used by professional artists have websites and information for the public to peruse. At MBS Makeup, we are proud to only use the best in the business!
Practically anyone can claim to be a professional makeup artist, even if they just have a makeup tote in the back of their van. However, you deserve better than that for your wedding day. You need to hire a wedding makeup artist who works out of a legitimate physical location, complete with business cards and associated business credentials.
Along with that, a professional team will have developed an online reputation for always showing up on time and providing contracts to give you the peace of mind needed leading up to the big day. Professionals like us offer a trial makeup before the big event. This will allow you to see exactly what you and your bridesmaids will look like on your wedding day.
One of the factors involved in answering how much is a wedding makeup artist is time. The more extensive the services, the more time involved. For instance, if you are having makeup done just for yourself, there will be a smaller bill than if you have service for the entire wedding party.
Also, if the makeup artist is going to do your hair or that of your bridesmaids, the cost will go up. However, in return, you have a continuity of presentation that will ensure your wedding photos look fantastic. At MBS Makeup, we can also do the hair and makeup for your mom, his mom or other special members of your party if you would like.
The time of your makeup artist is precious, as it is with any profession. While you might not be charged for a visit to the studio or a nearby venue, the greater the distance, the more the compensation. Your makeup artist deserves more pay if they must travel to another city, state or even country.
With the popularity of destination weddings, this is a common expense that you should not overlook. In addition, if the artist must stay overnight, there could be additional financial needs related to lodging that are included in the overall package.
As with a daily makeup application, you will pay more if you have additional needs in your makeup routine for the day. For instance, you might to have some hair extensions or combs added in to your look or that of your bridesmaids to ensure that everyone has the perfect frame for their faces.
For those with thinning or shorter lashes, false lashes can be a perfect way to ensure that your eyes "pop" for your wedding. Likewise, if you need other luxury items incorporated into your service, there will be charges related to the products and applications.
As you can see, answering the question "how much is a wedding makeup artist" is complicated. There is no one set fee. In fact, if someone gives you a flat quote without discussing all of these issues, you should be concerned. Professionals understand that the process of pricing is intricately intertwined with the services you receive.
However, most brides find that the expenses associated with having a real professional handle their makeup are far worth it. Instead of wasting your time worrying about the application process and trying to do it yourself or trusting a discount worker to do it for you, you deserve to have a pro handle your makeup needs.
Your wedding is one of the most special events of your life. You deserve the peace of mind associated with knowing that every aspect is being professionally taken care of. Just as you want the band to have experience and references, you need to know that your makeup artist is capable of handling your makeup needs. The right services can alleviate many of the pressures associated with your big day, allowing you to relax and enjoy joining your life with that of your beloved.

Larry Ware 2000, Airchecks ready!
Larry Ware writes that his Top-40 radio exposure began in 1961.
"At just four years old, my older sister gave me her pink Westinghouse radio to listen to. "Big Bad John" was playing on Peoria's own WIRL 1290 at that time and I listened all that day. I was hooked for life.
In high school, I woke up to Larry Lujack on WLS and awaited his amusing "Klunk Letter" every morning. During my sophomore year in high school, I borrowed the family reel-to-reel, an old tube 1956 Philco/VM, and began recording from WLS, WCFL, and WIRL from an old Majestic radio.
I really loved Top-40 radio in the early 70's and couldn't go anywhere without it. I installed a 1962 Ford car radio on my old Schwinn in high school. It was with this "radio bike" that I would occasionally ride to Grand View Drive (a drive overlooking the Illinois River valley) at night and listen to "Beaker Street" on KAAY.
I also made a portable car radio from an old record player cabinet to take to the parks with high school friends to play Frisbee. The radio would belt out WLS and Super CFL and fill the playing field with sound. I took this early "boom box" everywhere and made several versions of it.
In 1973 a friend, Dale Myers, gave me a sensitive 1959 Sherwood tuner. At one time I had logged 50 different AM rock stations received on the Sherwood tuner from Peoria. With this tuner I extended my taping range to New York for Chuck Leonard from 770 WABC and Wolfman Jack from 660 WNBC.
In 1983 I met my wife, Hope Holliday, at a local 2-year college where we were both studying for future careers in broadcasting. Hope later became the morning announcer on WPEO 1020 Christian Radio. I began working at WTVP-TV 47, Peoria's PBS television affiliate. I worked in Master Control and Traffic at WTVP until 1996. (Hope and I have both appeared on "Pledge Drives" at WTVP since then.) Until February 2002, I worked with The Iona Group in Morton, IL., where I managed the videotape library for Pioneer Hi-Bred, Inc.
I'm currently back at WTVP, part-time, and am working full-time for the City of Peoria as a Police Information Technician. My Hobbies include biking, hiking, backpacking, photography, piano, audio editing, and collecting vintage radios and television receivers, and broadcast history (both television and radio).
I discovered REELRADIO about 3 years ago while doing a search for "Larry Lujack" and was thrilled to be able to listen to Larry and scores of other DJs that I had never heard of before! What a great way to share what was the best format in radio ever! This is such a great website and a tribute to an American treasure - Top-40 radio!
A few years ago I started collecting airchecks as a hobby. For my 25th year Woodruff High School class reunion (Class of '75), instead of hiring a "DJ", the committee hired me (for free - such a deal!) to run some vintage airchecks from 1970 - 1974. These featured Larry Lujack and John Landecker complete with the original commercials, jingles, and news to run during the banquet. It was like an audio time capsule playing in the background! The old sounds from WLS and WCFL really helped bring back some great memories that evening. I'm now privileged to share these airchecks and memories through the RT40RR web site, thanks to your interest and support of this site."
The Repository thanks Larry Ware for sharing!

WNBC New York Billion Dollar Show, August 28, 1952 (27:35)
. . . The richest person cannot buy for himself what the poorest gets free, by radio . . .
[Description by Larry Ware]
WNBC celebrates 30 years of commercial broadcasting with Bob Elliot and Ray Goulding, (otherwise known as Bob & Ray), and Fred Allen. This historic broadcast was a look back over WNBC's then 30 years of broadcasting since the first commercial announcement on August 28, 1922. A portion of that first commercial is featured, along with many transcriptions and songs of the era.
Bob and Ray put in their wry humorous slant on the progress of broadcasting and advertising. Fred Allen gives a lighthearted spoof on the first WEAF radio listener without which, he says, radio would have never been successful.
Fred Allen: "If the first little man had not listened to WEAF and told his friends that the air was fraught with music, news, and entertainment, the work of the mighty executives and the various talented stars would have been in vain." . . . "Has the name of WEAF's first listener been mentioned here tonight? No!"
This aircheck came from aircheck collector Bob Gilmore.
Alan Freed WINS New York March 23, 1955 (58:36)
. . . "It's certainly a shame to single out the teenagers in this country and make everybody look at them. Just because they are teenagers, it happens to be a sin. Uh, teenagers I've been dealing with for 13 years. They're the greatest and most wonderful age group in America. Since when does it become a crime to become a teenager?" . . .
Alan Freed, 1955
This is very classic, very enthusiastic Alan Freed on WINS/New York. He sings along with most of the songs, answers letters, relays messages to and from listeners, plays his cow bell, encourages his teenage audience, and spins all those "original" recordings - great stuff.
It's obvious from listening to this aircheck that Mr. Freed thoroughly enjoyed the music he played and loved his work in radio. Most often he names the record label along with the title and artist and "bops" along to the beat.
At 36:26 into this aircheck, Alan talks about a dance on March 25th to raise money for "World Service" and gives us some insight as to how much he loved his audience.
It's tragic that in only 4 years from this recording that Alan Freed would be on his way down with the Payola scandal of '59 and eventually die at an early age of 43.
Lee Ranson WIRL Peoria, IL April 5 1963 (09:21)
. . . "A very good time frantic Friday evening to you my friendly. Leapin' Lee on all Request Nest 'till Midnight tonight" . . .
WIRL Splash Party, 1963, (L-R) Ron Thorne, Bruce Chamberlain, Lee Ranson
Lee Ranson, a Peoria native, began working for WIRL in 1960 fresh from communications studies at the University of Denver. He ran a top-rated airshift from 8:00 PM to Midnight called the "Go Show." WIRL had a strong presence in Peoria in the 60's and was number one in this market at that time. Lee's show ran higher in audience shares in the Peoria market than the highly popular Dick Biondi (WLS) for the PM time slot. Lee told me that he once met Dick Biondi through a former WIRL DJ that went to work for WLS. Mr. Biondi told Lee that he wanted to meet the only man that beat him in the ratings in the state of Illinois!
Lee Ranson, 1963
Lee Ranson recorded this resume tape to send to WIBG/Philadelphia, PA. Their overnight man later filled the opening so Lee remained in Peoria. The original 4" Scotch tape, loaned to me by Lee Ranson, represents the oldest known WIRL aircheck. This aircheck was recorded and scoped at the studios by the WIRL engineer at 7.5 ips.
Thanks to Lee Ranson for providing this aircheck!
WIRL PAMS 15,16,17,26 (1963) (06:57)
. . . Wonderful W-I-R-L, The Home of Big Red! . . .
The Larry Ware Collection will eventually include many exhibits of even greater interest, but Uncle Ricky really appreciated these PAMS classics from Series 15,16,17, and 26. Although I was only 12 years old and not yet working in radio when these packages were purchased by WIRL, what a delight to discover they utilize my favorite "Wonderful" logo! So, it's obvious that this is a really "wonderful" compilation. Larry also asked me to credit www.thebig1290.com, where there is much more about The Big 1290.
Harry Harrison, WMCA New York, September 21, 1968 (01:15:29)
. . . Oh! When the red light goes on, I talk! . . .
Harry Harrison worked in Peoria, IL at WPEO AM 1020 just prior to going to WMCA New York. Harry was the Programming Director at WPEO and brought the station to the number one spot in just six-months after his arrival. He was known as the "Morning Mayor" while working in Peoria.
Harry went to WMCA in November of 1959. His 10 AM to 2 PM show became a particular hit among housewives. Harry was one of the original "Good Guys" on WMCA.
This aircheck was recorded on his last day at WMCA before going to WABC. Oscar Rose is featured with news.
Harry's delivery style is as smooth as ever, something he hasn't changed in over 40 years of broadcasting.
Harry Harrison retired from WCBS 101.1 FM in March 2003. He is one of the finest in radio broadcasting and was willing to share pictures, letters, and information with me. He is a very warm and giving person. I'm proud to say that he got his early experience in my own hometown, Peoria!
This aircheck was provided to me by Aaron Mintz.
Larry Lujack, WLS Chicago, April 26, 1971 (29:56)

Larry Lujack
WLS, 1970
REELRADIO pays music licensing fees to present unedited music online. Your tax-deductible subscription to our organization helps keep this and other "unscoped" exhibits available.
A portion of ABC News includes a clip from Vice-President Spiro Agnew, and then WLS newsman Lyle Dean opens this 30 minute, unscoped aircheck of Larry Lujack's 7AM hour on April 26, 1971.
Those fabulous WLS stagings and PAMS jingles are always a treat, but this aircheck includes an extra surprise: Larry's Double-Clunk Letters of the Day (actually, double invitations) and the feature is introduced by a produced "da da dum, da da dum, da da dum", instead of Larry's usual solo acapella (at 23:54, PLAY.)
John Records Landecker, WLS Chicago, March 12, 1974 (20:26)
. . . If we get over $500 Bob Sirott says he will streak The Michigan Avenue Bridge on Thursday. Ha, Ha, many are in for a severe disappointment . . .
When John Records Landecker came to WLS in 1972, "The Big 89" became THE station we listened to in Peoria. John was funny and having fun at the same time. This aircheck is a great example of what I remember of John Landecker from my high school years. WLS really cashed in on the Streak craze of '74 on this broadcast.
As of August 2002, John Landecker can be heard on Chicago's "Oldies 104.3" WJMK. He is as witty as ever.
Thanks to fellow aircheck collector Bob Gilmore for providing this aircheck.

Kid's Movies Are Awfully Selfish (Turbo)
I sometimes work with children, and as a result of that I sometimes come into contact with children's movies. By and large, this doesn't bother me. I'm not so dead inside that I can't bear to be amused, and most kid's movies are pretty decent.
But pretty decent is different from actually good, and having now read this article, it occurs to me that maybe there's more going on in Turbo than I originally thought.
To start with, the very concept of the movie sounds like the sort of thing thrown out at the end of a particularly unfruitful pitch session when the writer was completely out of good ideas and down to the really weird stuff he could say off the top of his head. I mean the basic log line is insane. "A snail who's always dreamed of going fast is infused with nitrous oxide superpowers and uses his new speed to compete in the Indianapolis 500."
It's deeply weird. And the further you go into the story, the more you see that it's weird all the way down.
Our hero is Turbo (Ryan Reynolds) the titular snail who has always wanted to go fast. He loves watching tapes of old races, and he constantly complains about how slow it is at his job, working in a vegetable garden. Turbo's brother, Chet (Paul Giamatti) is always on him to get his act together and accept his lot in life. Clearly, since we know how kid's movies work, Chet is wrong and Turbo is going to prove by the end of the movie that snails can be fast. Because that is an important message that needs to be communicated to our kids. Clearly.
Late one night, while ogling all the cars on the freeway, Turbo falls and somehow gets bounced over until he's sucked up into the engine of a street racing car, like one of the ones you'd see in Fast and Furious. The car goes really fast, and Turbo gets infused with nitrous oxide, or something like that. Whatever it is that makes cars go really fast. And then Turbo has superpowers. Car superpowers. I don't know. It's weird.
Chet wants Turbo to hide his powers, because they're weird, but Turbo decides that this is a sign that he should go make his living as a racing snail. Chet tells him he's crazy. Because he is.
Anyway, through a wacky and seemingly random set of circumstances, Turbo and Chet are fired from their jobs, and somehow end up in downtown LA where they're caught by a taco truck employee who brings them to a (gasp!) snail racing competition.
Obviously Turbo wins and they're all super jealous of how fast he can go.
The other snails, voiced by several people, but most notably Samuel L. Jackson, are all crazy weirdos who love to go fast. Turbo feels right at home, but naysaying Chet continues to be a wet blanket. The story gets even more convoluted from here, but basically the human who found Turbo wants to use him to get more business for the taco stand, and Turbo convinces him to enter him in the Indy 500. They gather up the entrance fee and they're off.
And then he races in the Indy 500 after a really silly interval of "Let the snail race!" and a court hearing and all that nonsense, and then his powers go out at a crucial moment but he wins anyway because you should always believe in yourself and Chet comes around and barf.
No seriously, barf.
Okay, let's start with the really obvious problem with this story. More obvious than the whole thing about how it's another nonsensical tale of how believing really hard and wanting something more than anything and being a nice person is a substitute for hard work and being very good at what you intend to do. That's annoying. And also probably deeply damaging for little kids to hear.
Kids? Take it from your Auntie Deborah, whatever you want to do, you better really freaking want to do it, because it's going to take time, hard work, and a lot of boring repetitions of stuff you feel like you already know how to do before you're even close to good enough to compete with the people who are okay at it. I mean it. You are going to work for over ten thousand hours at this, if you can work that much and that hard, and when you're done, you won't be the best. You won't even be the second best. You'll be good. And then you'll have to keep working to figure out how to be great.
That's the frustration and the beauty of doing something you love. Anything you love. Nothing gets handed to you, and you have to work for it. But you do it because it's what you love.
Honestly, though, damaging as the "follow your heart, if you can dream it you can be it" slogan is for kids, I think the more damaging message here is that your dream is more valuable than your support for the people around you. Because that is patently untrue.
In the story, Turbo openly denigrates the plant where he works, and where he's presumably grown up, where everyone he knows lives, and where his brother makes a perfectly happy life. He says it's boring and miserable. And that may very well be true.
For everyone else, though, working on that plant is a very good thing. They get food to eat, a place to live, a relatively safe environment. The snails like it there. But Turbo doesn't, and through his own selfish actions, he not only performs badly in his job, constantly trying to dodge work or avoid contributing, but he actually destroys the plan. He puts his community out of work, and, worst of all, he refuses to feel remorse for this.
I get it. He doesn't like living there, working with tomatoes, or having to "go slow". But they do. They liked working there. And he, through his own carelessness, has now debilitated his community. And he doesn't see that maybe it's wrong.
It feels heretical to say this, since we as a Western culture so very much love to laud the individual, but sometimes we need to stop being selfish. Sometimes we have to back off and think, sure, this is what I want to do. But is this what would benefit my community? Am I caring for the lives of others as well as my own?
Kid's movies tend to act like this question is mean. Like asking if you should consider the hopes and dreams of other people, or even their basic livelihood above your own happiness is tantamount to slave labor. But it isn't. It's actually really freeing.
You know who lives longer, reports more happiness and meaning in their lives, and has a considerably lower rate of chronic disease and depression? People in community. And if you want to be in community, you might have to make some sacrifices.
But here's the thing. Everyone else is making those sacrifices too. And they stop feeling like sacrifices eventually. They start to feel different. Like you're building something. Together.
Now I'm not saying to never ever follow your dream. That wouldn't be accurate either. What I'm saying is more nuanced. I'm saying that you should look at your dream and then look at your community. Work hard for what you want, but help others do the same. Look at your life and figure out what will actually bring you meaning. And remember that the people in your life are the ones who actually matter. Not what you do, but who you do it with.

You forgot the part where one brother STEALS the entry fee, but the victim doesn't care because they win!
Otherwise, thank you for articulating everything that upset me so well.

When it comes to choosing your favorite type of movie, you'll probably hear a whole host of reasons why action movies shouldn't be considered as a legitimate genre. Perhaps the most common complaint about these films is that they don't have great plots, the acting is bad, and that the best you can hope for is a lot of explosions. Well, truth be told, there are some action movies that certainly do this, but they do it very well. https://freenetflixacc2019.weebly.com/

If you've recently gotten engaged, you may be looking for some engagement party ideas for the party you want to host to celebrate your engagement, starting with when to have the party, who usually hosts and/or pays for the event, where to have it and who to invite. While engagement parties aren't mandatory and so not all couples decide to have one, it's a great way for the couple's respective families to meet and give the bridal party to get a chance to get acquainted before the rehearsal as well. bux party

Movies have always been the greatest source of entertainment in our lives. Entertainment actually rejuvenates our mind and soul. It even helps to reduce our stress and tensions to a large extent. koktale

Antique Blue 3 seater Chesterfield sofa | Handmade by the team at S.W. James & Co.
Perfect for any room size.
Our No.1 3 seater Chesterfield sofa in blue is perfect when entertaining friends. We think it is a truly stunning piece of furniture and it certainly makes a statement in any room it lives in. Our 3 seater No.1 antique blue Chesterfield sofa is still handmade by the team today, as it was originally.
When covered in our blue antique rub leather each item we make takes on a character all of its own. Once finished a top coat of darker blue dye is carefully polished in selected areas to expose the lighter shade beneath. The result achieved is a beautifully aged looking, 3 seater blue antique Chesterfield.
Our 3 seater No.1 is an increasingly popular choice for home owners seeking the classical and timeless style that a British chesterfield brings. Our 20mm machine scribed leather/wool coated buttons are tufted by hand in the typical 6 inch diamond layout common to chesterfields and provide wonderful highlights and shadows to its surface regardless of the upholstery choice.
