Tuesday June 07th 2011 @ 4:37pm ( bad memory of gerard ahler that might be a another clue…to criminal conections… uck ) )

 so  a conversation that was weird when  it occurred..but even more so… after seeing that t.v show on the big fat gypsy wedding when the culture of the gypsies and travelers  were exposed… it made me think again…

so the conversation occurred  when i was working at the martucci household…  the  home that was still in  construction.. when Gerard was supposed to be in charge of his sister Christine’s  home… he was asking if i would travel in a  trailer across the country to California to pick up his children… the story he gave me was that he wanted biological children and had a surrogate  get pregnant and he had twins  that he wanted to pick up… 
he was looking for a nurse to travelwith him.. but i guess for some reason he thought i would do… he also quizzed me not only on the finances of my family and the property and my own accounts… but also wanted  to know information like…   how devoted i was to being catholic….    and would i do anything for my family… or for him ….  an example was that  if he wanted me to go into a safe without any questions… would i do it?

what a slimy criminal… uck…. but  the  fact hat he was so concerned abut me being catholic… could be maffia like he said.. or  this tv show  mentioned that people who are gypsies and travelers actually like  traveling in trailers…  and are devote catholcs…

 other than  him claiming he  hated Naples… ( too boring for the track suit wearing scummmmmm)   i’m worried  about   if he actually did anything  anything … he claimed that her would steal all my families businesses… and would buy up the mortgages on all  the property and would ruin my entire family… Oh….   and that he would kill my mother….

I just remembered the trailer  comment… so he might also have connections to the   gypsies or travelers… who are criminals..   especially he was almost trying to  use that sweatheart schemee on me.. ( see blog post with article of travelers and gypsies.) thinking of  that article i never got a response form the man who was  the police officer who was connected to that article……

My mom said that he probably just  got a girl pregnant… an no reputable normal  person goes across the states in a trailer…especially to pick up newborn children …..they fly… which is true…   

thursday June 02nd 2011 @4:21pm ( car/suv – two separarate cars similar… but not the same)

over the time period  i have owned my dead aunt ‘s car…   when i received ownership of  this car after a very mixed up situation with the gold Mercedes 300 I had purchased from my father.

the last  check of the Mercedes… an entire story of its own… very mixed up and not in my favor at all…. but the entire repairs for the Mercedes may have been  an entirely different scam that went on for many years.  Of course at my expense.. and the expense of any of my family members who assisted in trying  to make sure i had a working vehicle… and cost everyone a lot of money…..

back to the Saturn:  the Saturn i received from  my father on behalf of my cousin Tommy had been barely used. It had 3 new tires and no damage on the exterior or interior.   After I  owned the car for a short  while   i went to get my hair cut at bamboo which was an Aveda salon.  It  was a last minute decision as i was purchasing products to get my hair cut  I had to set up the  apt  for a few hours later that day. and ended up having my hair cut by a woman from  ohio…. i was not happy with the haircut and went immediately to the ritz to get it fixed…. the woman had cut my hai r  like Erin Donavan’s bob hair cut when i had a picture of  an original hair cut i had wanted… I bought products  there since a friend of mine  Patti Berndt used to sell those products on the other coast when Maura and Pattie lived near each other while Maura was in law school.   

while i was in that parking lot..someone must have brushed up against my car  car with their wheel…or with a bumper… or something because there was a spot of paint removed from the passenger side of  the car…    this is how i know there are two different cars… both green Saturn Vue… and both with a gray  material interior… but the   rubbed off paint… one car ( actually the one i have in my possession right now… is very low on the passenger door and is smaller… and the irregular shape of the  removed paint is a different pattern  and its edges though they are  are sharp edges…  are  different from the other car….    i had mentioned that i had also had no dag and at one point in time i  had a car with dog hairs… another distinguishing feature is that one of the cars takes a long time from the engine to stop when you are out of the car..it seems to keep going.. almost as if a fan was continuing long after the are had been turned off and the keys removed… approx. as long as it takes to get out of the car….and walk to the front of the  car! 

Before  when i  was driving  my car  it  would turn off when you turned off the ignition… immediately… I  remember that this had started to happen when   one evening i went to Publix and was surprised to see a man get out of his silver Cherokee and took out a box of tools when i was starting to walk into  the grocery store.. I didn’t say anything  to the man and just thought it very odd that a man was taking out a yellow and black tool box in an almost empty  parking lot. I did mention  it to the  people at Publix  after i stated up the  car and it was different starting and stopping…  and by that time i was finished shopping and had turned on the car and driven to the bank and turned off the car..and noticed the changes…  this average looking but short guy in his silver Cherokee was gone. 

another difference is the tires…  and then of course  the mileage… i  have to know  keep track of the mileage… and the gas  in the car…  and  when the  black spot on the  passenger side door changes…. 

at the present  time  the spot of paint removed is one inch from the bottom of the  car door.. and 25 inches down from the top of the car door…  it is 11 inches  in from the left side of the  door:  and it is  26 and 1/2 inches in from the right side of the door.  It is a bit like the shape of the united stated and the spot itself is 3 inches wide at the  right hand side end which is the widest  point and 2 inches from the left hand side at the smallest point…. 

also one of the cars actually  has a little leak of some  yellow/greenish liquid…  a very small leak but i can see when there are new spots on the garage  floor…

also there is a very light small pink scratch that is the middle of the drives 2nd back door that is 7 and 1/2 inches long

the tires were all new… and in the car i have now.. three of the tires have pretty low tread…. don’t  know how since i am rarely using my car and haven’t gone on any long  road trips…

 so the other day when i went to go babysit at Trianon in Bonita springs… .. and  the manager told me there was no parking by the room where i was sitting… that  is when i noticed this car back in my possession….   that it wasn’t driving the dame and noticed the spot not being the same…. and of course the tires and the  extra fan that lasts approx 10  seconds after turning off the car… by the way… the second night i parked  by the room so I  could keep an  eye on my car 

  

Thursday May 26th 2011@9:24pm ( phone… cell phone to my mothers)

Well i called to tell my mother that i had spoken to my uncle  actually Skype… and  boy.. her cellphone just wasn’t  like  speaking with my mother at all it was like  all the  way back to when  a black SUV used to be in her drive way…  a very scummy and horrible group of girls who lied and cheated and stole from  me and my family… not friends.. not family… and defiantly not good at all… and the young girls  bully girls  were on the phone   with my mother at all…  in a few phone call conversations where i called my mother on her 239-821-5515 number.. this is the horrid and terrible things that were said…

the girl/boy on the phone  wanted to belittle me and to make me in not look  good standing with the police… by saying that:

no one picked on me.. that it was just things said  that” i didn’t want to hear”… 

when i tried to talk about my uncle and the death of my cousin.. and how most mothers would  give up their own lives to prevent  any harm from  occurring to their daughters..

and there are daughters who were kidnapped.. or killed.. or harmed.. and no real great mother would ever harm their daughter.. let along i know that my mother  would ever harm me… let alone try to make   me look bad..or to harm my reputation.. then i mentioned karne kahel.. and the  girl /boy wanted to hang up  .(its always a nice test to see who the hells on the phone… )   hummm I know that my mother or family or friends would never in a million years ever stick up fora whore i mean trespasser who bullied me to tears..  let alone defend defend her and then in the process pick on me…

As i am typing this.. i have the phone off the hook.. actually it was taken off the hook by the rude and young sounding  person and now that i think of it… i remember being bullied by a person who actually called with cellphone caller id  of GREGORY MARION….when my mother’s cell caller id was Marion Gregory…  it was a person  who would be mean to me.. get me upset.. then put the receiver down and  think was funny for me to get upset or cry at the insults and  harmful and brutally  nasty things that were said.. i keep thinking it is a boy with a small you know what.. who only gets off on picking on girls… and he has to bring  girls in to town from different parts of the state.. none would ever be interested in him here… HA!… So that is the big deal for me to be  babysitting in Bonita.. while they’re entertaining… but

I have already told a real live police woman  when and for how long i would be babysitting this past Sunday and i also emailed the police  to alert them and to tell them to arrest anyone in or near my home!

 
and now that  i have a voice…  and have a voice that i can keep  a record of alt he injustices.. document all the times.. dates… and be bale to track the phones… and phone numbers.. and i can’t wait to put all these criminals in jail…   and take them to court for damages both civilly and criminally… they need to be stopped… and for ever!

 phone calls to : 239-821-5515:  this evening stating at: 

May 13th 2011 ( mother’s day evening… scott look alike and 1404 girl )

Evening of Mother’s Day..listen  to this ( 8:15pm)   Saw on e of the scott renshaw look a likes  on the golf cart approx 7:30ish… it was still light enough to see.. he was on a golf cart headed out of cypress cove area and headed to the final stop of the evening.. AHA… and had a small child  in blue with blond hair is the passenger of the cart.  While  he was wearing this black tank t i can only assume that one of the girls  the boys usually visit somewhere really close to my condo.. ( in fact its unit 1401… the other day i saw a gold Cadillac driven by a  in her 20’s r 30’s with of course sandy blond hair and it was cut in a bob hair cut… i saw he a few times before… when she appeared speaking to a neighbor who loves across the street… and when this guy showed up i think she may have been waiting until i left to go to a movie…. and she looks strikingly like this girl who does a lot of babysitting for the la playa.. who knows… a possible candidate for an identity thief.. and at least we know she and many others have been trespassers…  and she may have even been one of the intruders… i saw her one other time walking with an older an older man headed in the same direction …. probably same location as this scott look alike was traveling  probably even the same condo.. as i mentioned before … these guys have a series of houses and homes that they use for various purposes..and I’m assuming that somehow my home got in the mix.. though not with my permission.. . and i definatly did not agree to have any of these girls use my home.. or my clothes.. or my food….

anyway i was mentioning.. the gold Cadillac.. i walked up to the garage.. and it had another convertible with Ohio plates… made me wonder if that was one of the places that karen kahel.. and her buddies would trespass form Carlton lakes or where ever…. when they weren’t breaking into ;my home… and playing games with people’s lives… sheesh.. anyway.. i might also mention that   another weird time when had to pick up my mom fro the fort Myers airport… she was originally scheduled on a flight earlier in the evening.. then everything changes ( of course.. and i ended up picking her up  from Cleveland Ohio flight around 2 am…  and this is the strange part of it..   a guy in a silver van with twin girls with Texas plates was picking up a girl  that was hanging out with my mom…. blond hair… and all… anyway.. that was a horrid time with moms and a lot of really mean people on the phone again… but  now that we have figured that these  criminals are using spoof cards.. changing their voice. and  if  they can actually splice the phone line of the apartments that are in my mom’s apartments … and use the computer soft ware through a phone… and i still  have to find out how they adapt it to use in a cell phone… but that is how they not only sent mean emails via an unlocked  wireless internet connection.. and then the phone line and can even spoof the phone number … to be the same as my mom’s… or  the anonymous caller calls… 

A bit worried that these were the criminals who actually were  in my home  and messing with my computer  .. wonder if  she was one of the girls who borrowed my clothes…actually there has to be better word to describe someone who takes and wears your  clothes… without your permission…  criminal???

wait the really fun part is spending hundreds of dollars on outfits you actually chose because you like  way they look on you… i mean me.. then find out that the imposter actually had the balls to go and alter your  clothes because she is shorter or fatter or thinner..    what disgusting and horrid human beings… or maybe they need a newer pair of shoes.. these girls are the lowest of the low  scum of the earth not only because they destroy lives.. but they do it for their own selfish intentions.. and they have No remorse.. and they believe they are  so sneaky an smart they can get away with  it t.. and spend a weekend using someones condo.. wearing  a strangers clothes.. uck! … eating off the dishware .. even eating someone’s  groceries.. ( of course i am hoping that has stopped by putting the lock on the re fridge… but thanks to the whore to door service girls.. i have had to call the  police concerning the  blueberry incident..  those idiots will stop at nothing …  

I wonder do they think of it as a betrayal..of the owner.. or do they even think of the owner?  I guess since theses people are not my friends nor family i guess they just feel comfortable talking advantage of a faceless stranger.. but my pictures my life is all around the condo so I  guess if they “stage” my home  to complete ther many lies…i guess they really don’t care…

so there was one girls i ran into at the sprint store when i got my cell # ages ago…. (that was the same time i had to  endure many bully calls.. approx. two years  for a total stranger to steal a business…. to steal a life or shall I  say ruin a  life in order to better her own life.. Gosh i guess would  call that pretty damn selfish but the girls without a conscious guess its  like a serial killer they have no soul and really must actually enjoy  hurting  other people because  it  really doesn’t  bother them  they must believe that manipulating a person’s like and lowering  the others standard of living…. like stealing a cashmere sweater.. pajama set and replacing the present with a picture frame… they must believe they are deserving a better life  for themselves..not thinking of what they are taking away from someone else.. right? HOW else can they justify  all the evil they do….

impersonating people… evenliza doolittle ddnt runn toher people’s lives i norde to pretend to be soehtinor soeone they  were clearly not…

wehn i thought  that the rason i wasalowed to have company whether it was genunie and realtionshp building or ot ..manipulative adn controling yes..and a bit on the evil side yes..

mymomand i started watchinglittle blak book… a bit about betrayal.. about deception… aout girls who destroy lives wel what do youknow.. the after effect of fake relationshps.. it was allowed to have… so that a horribe horribel perosn could get antygn she wanted.. not only feels so rotten when you ralze how much these  same people manipulate adn ruin lives…

i had someone tell me recently that they woldn’t read my blog anymore because it bothered them to  much.. Of course this maybe oneof th epeople who want taek any rsononsibitlity for ther actions..

Miami-Dade Jail inmates hack into telephone lines.

Miami-Dade Corrections department says it can do little about Miami jail inmates who are
racking up tens of thousands of dollars in collect calls billed to local
fax lines of unwitting victims.

Miami-Dade County Jail Inmates Involved in Phone Scam.

Inmates at Miami-Dade jails have found a way hack into phone lines to
make free collect phone calls.

 As a result many unsuspecting citizens have been left footing large
phone   
bills, according to the Miami Herald. Corrections say there is
little they can do to stop the jail phone scams, which has cost tens of
thousands of dollars.

Miami Jail inmates have figured out a way to call a victim’s fax
number, which is then forwarded to their friend’s home, and the friend
accepts the call but does not have to pay the charges, officials said.

Miami Pretrial Detention Center Jail.

Global Tel*Link, which operates Miami jail collect- and prepaid-call
systems has paid out roughly $200,000 for bogus calls.

Inmates at the Miami-Dade County jails have free access to banks of
phones, and can only make collect or prepaid phone calls of up to 30
minutes.

Miami Jail Corrections officials say, jail phone scams are not new
and typically inmates pretend to be distressed and get the caller to
dial *72 and another phone number to forward their call.

This new phone scam however, enables call forwarding without the
consumer’s knowledge.

Audio engineering



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





An audio engineer at an audio console.

An audio engineer, also called audio technician, audio technologist or sound technician, is a specialist in a skilled trade that deals with the use of machinery and equipment for the recording, mixing and reproduction of sounds. The field draws on many artistic and vocational areas, including electronics, acoustics, psychoacoustics, and music. An audio technician is proficient with different types of recording media, such as analog tape, digital multitrack recorders and workstations, and computer knowledge. With the advent of the digital age, it is becoming more and more important for the audio technician to be versed in the understanding of software and hardware integration from synchronization to analog to digital transfers.


Audio engineering concerns the creative and practical aspects of sounds and music, in contrast with the formal engineering discipline known as acoustical engineering. Producer, engineer, mixer Phil Ek has described audio engineering as the “technical aspect of recording—the placing of microphones, the turning of pre-amp knobs, the setting of levels. The physical recording of any project is done by an engineer… the nuts and bolts.”[1] Many recording engineers also invented new technology, equipment and techniques, to enhance the process and art.[2]

Terminology





Mixing sound live

Terms such as “audio technician”, “sound technician”, “audio engineer”, “audio technologist”, “sound mixer” and “sound engineer” can be ambiguous; depending on the context they may be synonymous, or they may refer to slightly different roles in audio production. Such terms can refer to a person working in sound and music production, as well as to technicians who design professional equipment for these tasks[citation needed]. Certain jurisdictions specifically prohibit the use of the title engineer to any individual not a registered member of a professional engineering licensing body.


Individuals who design acoustical simulations of rooms, shaping algorithms for digital signal processing and computer music problems, perform institutional research on sound, and other advanced fields of audio engineering are most often graduates of an accredited college or university, or have passed a difficult civil qualification test.


Other languages, such as German and Italian, have different words to refer to these activities. For instance, in German, the Tontechniker (audio technician) is the one who operates the audio equipment and the Tonmeister (sound master) is a person who creates recordings or broadcasts of music who is both deeply musically trained (in ‘classical’ and non-classical genres) and who also has a detailed theoretical and practical knowledge of virtually all aspects of sound, whereas the Toningenieur (audio engineer) is the one who designs, builds and repairs it.[citation needed]


Practitioners





At the front of house position, mixing sound for a band

An audio engineer is someone with experience and training in the production and manipulation of sound through mechanical (analog) or digital means. As a professional title, this person is sometimes designated as a sound engineer or recording engineer instead. A person with one of these titles is commonly listed in the credits of many commercial music recordings (as well as in other productions that include sound, such as movies).


Audio engineers are generally familiar with the design, installation, and/or operation of sound recording, sound reinforcement, or sound broadcasting equipment, including large and small format consoles. In the recording studio environment, the audio engineer records, edits, manipulates, mixes, and/or masters sound by technical means in order to realize an artist’s or record producer‘s creative vision. While usually associated with music production, an audio engineer deals with sound for a wide range of applications, including post-production for video and film, live sound reinforcement, advertising, multimedia, and broadcasting. When referring to video games, an audio engineer may also be a computer programmer.


In larger productions, an audio engineer is responsible for the technical aspects of a sound recording or other audio production, and works together with a record producer or director, although the engineer’s role may also be integrated with that of the producer. In smaller productions and studios the sound engineer and producer is often one and the same person.


In typical sound reinforcement applications, audio engineers often assume the role of producer, making artistic and technical decisions, and sometimes even scheduling and budget decisions.[3]


Different professional branches


There are four distinct steps to commercial production of a recording: Recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. Typically, each is performed by a sound engineer who specializes only in that part of production.



  • Studio engineer – an engineer working within a studio facility, either with a producer or independently

  • Recording engineer – engineer who records sound.

  • Assistant engineer – often employed in larger studios, allowing them to train to become full-time engineers. They often assist full-time engineers with microphone setups, session breakdowns and in some cases, rough mixes.[3]

  • Mixing engineer – a person who creates mixes of multi-track recordings. It is common for a commercial record to be recorded at one studio and later mixed by different engineers in other studios.

  • Mastering engineer – typically the person who mixes the final stereo tracks (or sometimes just a few tracks or stems) that the mix engineer produces. The mastering engineer makes any final adjustments to the overall sound of the record in the final step before commercial duplication. Mastering engineers use principles of equalization and compression to affect the coloration of the sound.

  • Game audio designer engineer – deals with sound aspects of game development.

  • Live sound engineer – a person dealing with live sound reinforcement. This usually includes planning and installation of speakers, cabling and equipment and mixing sound during the show. This may or may not include running the foldback sound. A live/sound reinforcement engineer hears musical material and tries to correlate that sonic experience with system performance.[4]

  • Foldback or Monitor engineer – a person running foldback sound during a live event. The term “foldback” is outdated and refers to the practice of folding back audio signals from the FOH (Front of House) mixing console to the stage in order for musicians to hear themselves while performing. Monitor engineers usually have a separate audio system from the FOH engineer and manipulate audio signals independently from what the audience hears, in order to satisfy the requirements of each performer on stage. In-ear systems, digital and analog mixing consoles, and a variety of speaker enclosures are typically used by monitor engineers. In addition most monitor engineers must be familiar with wireless or RF (radio-frequency) equipment and must interface personally with the artist(s) during each performance.

  • Systems engineer – responsible for the design setup of modern PA systems which are often very complex. A systems engineer is usually also referred to as a “crew chief” on tour and is responsible for the performance and day-to-day job requirements of the audio crew as a whole along with the FOH audio system.

  • Audio post engineer – a person who edits and mixes audio for film and/or television.

Education


Audio engineers come from backgrounds such as fine arts, broadcasting, music or electronics. Many colleges and accredited institutions around the world offer degrees in audio engineering, such as a BS in audio production. The University of Miami’s Frost School of Music was the first university in the United States to offer a four-year Bachelor of Music degree in Music Engineering Technology. In the last 25 years, some contemporary music schools have initiated audio engineering programs, usually awarding a Bachelor of Music degree emphasizing the use of audio technology as opposed to the mathematics and physics of acoustics and electrical engineering that is part of a traditional engineering program at an engineering college or department within a university. Some audio engineers are autodidacts with no formal training.

How to Trace the Location of a Spoof Card Call

By Pamela Moradi, eHow Contributor

updated: November 23, 2010


How to Trace the Location of a Spoof Card Callthumbnail
The source of spoofed phone calls no longer has to remain a mystery.

With advancements
in technology, people have numerous methods available to block a number
when placing a phone call. Spoofing a telephone number is a method
that developed and became illegal in 2007. This method actually makes a
number appear as a different number when it shows up on caller ID, which
can be quite confusing for anyone receiving one of these phone calls.
An individual can be certain that a number was a spoof call if he
attempts to call a number back and it is not in service. In some cases,
tracing the location of a spoof call might give some peace of mind.

Difficulty:
Moderately Easy

Instructions

things you’ll need:

  • Trap Line (ANI)
    • 1

      Obtain the spoofed number from caller ID.

    • 2

      Try calling the number back to
      verify that the number is a spoofed number. Sometimes a recording will
      be played stating that the number is not in service. This is a sure way
      to know that it is a spoofed number. In other cases, a perfect stranger
      may answer who has nothing to do with the nuisance phone call.

    • 3

      Visit a website that offers a reverse look-up tool to go through any and all possible search engines and locate the source of the number.

    • 4

      Rent a trap line, a
      technological tool that unblocks blocked phone calls or spoofed numbers.
      Multiple companies offer this service. A trap line is commonly used by
      private investigators to trace the exact location of a caller. Trap
      lines use Automatic Number Identification.

    • 5

      Report ongoing unwanted
      telephone calls to the police and local telephone company. According to
      PrivacyRights.org, a harassing phone call is classified by a call that
      uses abusive or threatening language. It can also be any phone call that
      uses heavy breathing or silence as a form of intimidation. Multiple
      phone calls, of course, also fall into this category.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep in mind that a
    spoofed number could be the number of someone totally innocent and
    unrelated to the unwanted telephone call. When calling a number back
    when trying to investigate a spoofed call, remember that the person on
    the other end of the line may not be the individual who placed the call.

  • Police
    cannot become involved with an unwanted telephone call unless the calls
    have been received multiple times or if abusive or threatening language
    has occurred during the phone calls.
