Radio Zero: Beginning of the French Work Week

Marla Singer's picture




 

And what better way to kick off the short work week than the forced administration of productivity killing legislation and strong (but voluntary) dose of Radio Zero?

Let's call it 8:30 (ish) ET.  URL unveiled here with great fanfare 15 min before (or so).

Till then, requests, legislative markup, stories of a lack of productivity all welcome via AIM here: radiozh

Update: Get your French Workweek on: http://cdo.zerohedge.com:8000/listen.pls

Update 2: Radio Zero is on EFNet!  #radiozh

you know he will; he is; let's say; controversial director; but nevertheless a mainstream director. He will lay off of all the important players ( i.e hedge funds, GS, Hank Paulson, Geithner etc ) and focus on the paradigm of greed and excess once again; but this time up-graded. I expect a lot from this movie; but i somehow think; Stone won't deliver what we want to see.

looks interesting.

LONDON (Reuters) - Dow Chemical Co said on Friday that there was no basis whatsoever in a BBC World report saying that it had accepted responsibility for India's Bhopal disaster.
The BBC said earlier that an interview it ran with a man it identified as a company spokesman they named as Jude Finisterra was part of "an elaborate deception." "Dow confirms there was no basis whatsoever for this report," spokeswoman Marina Ashanin told BBC World from Switzerland. "We also confirm Jude Finisterra is neither an employee nor a spokesperson for Dow.

I saw that movie on one of the indie channels.  The guys are passionate about the cause but the movie has the feel of a low-key Jackass.

Either way, Bophal is definitely a strong runner up for saddest story in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster

Nah CB, let's hope Stone shows him ranting how Bear was way undervalued and a screaming buy at $60. Then they can show some retired folks kicking themselves for tuning into CNBS as they pay for their groceries at Safeway.... with food stamps.

Anyone here ever see the Australian movie "The Bank" from 2001?? Great movie!

"This is an Australian suspense thriller about a mathematician, Jim Doyle, who develops a new theory based on chaos analysis that will enable a user to predict just about anything. A senior banking executive, Simon O'Reilly, gets a hold of the news and hires Jim to work for them, to develop a system that will predict financial markets." Loved the ending :)

It is a must to know French in France; even though most of them know English very well, they will not talk to you, or address you in English because of their hate for the Anglophone world; which streams from the times when France and Great Britain were fighting a war for colonial dominance.

I was there last fall for a while, and yes, they aren't too thrilled to address an American in English. You are also right that most French know enough English to get by. Actually, it seems most Europeans know English, with varying degrees, pretty well as a second language.

Mon, 09/07/2009 - 20:46 | 61830 Cheeky Bastard
Cheeky Bastard's picture

Yep; that's true; Europeans are mostly bilingual or polylingual; i think that only about 10 % of the EU population knows only one language. English is like 4th or 5th language to me; but hey; being a Swiss; Italian, German, French and that ugly ass retro-roman are practically a give; you learn them as you go; it comes a natural thing.

So right you are dude, since living / working in the USA (I am of Aussie ilk originally), I have met the most unproductive, miserable, least knowledgeable workers I have ever met in my life and am likely to meet anywhere.

The French get a seriously STUPID rap in the USA, accused of being lazy, socialist etc. but if the average Yank spent a week in the life of a Parisian they would kick themselves when they landed back in the states.

I like the short work week - should be every week! With all our technological advances why are we still working so much? Work to live - not the other way around. Got to admire the French recently... Called cowards for not supporting Rove's war (remember the Freedom Fries thing lol). Now they are into "Boss Napping" and threatening to blow up factories demanding adequate severances... Meanwhile, in the "Land of the Free" the citizens are sitting sitting back watching TV as their government gives massive amounts of money (that they don't have) to the huge financial too big to fails. And the food... my god with the amount a cream and butter in the food! and it's always a slow multi-course meal.  France kicks ass.

I have very close friends who are French (I'm English). I've read (in various places) that the French have a higher GDP per head of population than the English or Americans per year. To which I say good for them, they've got their priorities right!

1. UN agency says developing wrold needs a new reserve currency  no shock there..

2. The wave of M&A - be interesting to see what the the funding mix in the aggregate stock / cash looks like? Indeed just like printing money with no commensurate rise in commodities and or anchoring mechanism (gold/PM complex) is somewhat akin to liquidity driven equity valuations being used as currency for cross border M&A. Economic warfare in other words - an interesting challenge for prey companies to figure out what their equity is worth in a takeout given the swath of liquidity - sell now at your own risk...

M&A is simply going to create more unemployment. The benefit of M&A is economies of scale - a bigger business with fewer employees. Probably see 20% (U6) in 2010.

Gotta say this music is a great idea - the right side of my brain needs something to do while the left tries to understand the posts here.

Lyrics tend to distract the left half - usually go with Jean Michel Jarre but this is as good / better.

P.S. was listening a while back and Marla came on with something like "CNBC can suck my ..." - amazing what a sultry female voice saying that can do to your concentration.

OK, who's got some recommendations concerning streaming audio recording software? I've used VLC up until now to listen but couldn't get it to record. I just downloaded "Easy Radio" (freeware), and it seems ok though i had to add "real" audio drivers to get it to play ZR, it also doesn't seem to allow reverse/ff while recording... Anyone ?

All Marla's sets are being recorded.  Patience with the expenses.

Well, there are actually a lot of other streams I wouldn't mind recording... Damn, you can access internet radio stations from all around the world! Though I certainly like Marla's "sessions" a lot.

I'm reading the TOC from that link Cheeky sent to the intro to String Theory.  I'm sure I'll never get much further than that.  I'm not that smart.

Stop talking and move.  haha

I don't know if it requires smarts... as much as it takes crawling inside the topic and getting really, really interested... OK... I'll leave you alone now... keep reading :-)

Shanghai seems to be struggling...and this UN new world reserve currency can't be bullish for equities long term, at least not American...

Just my own personal preference, but I check Taiwan in conjunction with Shanghai to separate out the signal from noise.  Mainland residents can invest in the TAIEX, and it is one of the only (if not the only) place they can put their money abroad.  If you see Shanghai n Taiwan down big on the same day, hold onto your sphincter.

Yeah... I'm pretty pumped.

I've got my M4 and silver bars, so I'm happy as a pig in... well... you know what's about to hit the fan.

Hey Marla, maybe you can mix in the Clash's "Armagideon Time" into a set in the future? I want to be dancing as the world crumbles around me!!

I certainly have no quibble with the M4...but I watched a bit-o military channel this weekend and I must say I'm quite impressed with the 6.5 Grendel.  The range of an M-16 with the stopping power of an AK.  Its so solid I don't know of the semi i'm sporting right now is on account of the Grendel or these tunes :-P

Steak,

I checked out the Grendel. That's a pretty bad ass gun. It looks pretty expensive; I'll just shoot my brother's 'sniper' rifle since that's gentler on the pocket book.

Good posts on the tunes. The Orbital and Rozza are two on my "Liquid Lounge" playlist.

Lastly, I liked your quote: A hopeless struggle on an endless grind. I think I'm going to post that to Facebook.

Banks in trouble list is here: http://cr4re.com/PBLSep0409.html

I was looking at Westernbank Puerto Rico, it got its cease and desist back in May (http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/enforcement/2009-05-14.pdf#), perhaps that is the really big bank people are worried about.

Just got back home to my bunker. My friend, a very

wealthy and busy plumber, still does not understand how I made

him so successful. I picked his name 'Apex plumbing' and do

all his job bid proposals. And yes, he does great work, but in this world

that seems to matter little.

 

I do all his proposals to this day.

 

Not only is his name Carlos, but he is the most sought after plumber

in Connecticut. Not a big deal to most, but he is obsessed with straight lines-

and if you extrapolate that to plumbing, you have a monster genius.

 

Carlos earns from the product of his labor.
