Mike Tavares-A Quick Recap of Rivers and Places – Spring 2008

As 2008 is quickly coming to an end and snow is starting to fly here in the West, I wanted to give a small recap of places and rivers that have made 2008 a great year. Haley and I left Salida in April and headed to California, Idaho and Wyoming for a few months of new whitewater and new places. While the rivers we paddled were not first descents and the places we visited were not out of the ordinary, the quality of whitewater was exceptional and the experience of getting to new places for us was a great feeling.We started out in Kernville, Ca. After driving straight through the night and stopping in Las Vegas for a short while, we arrived in the heat of CA. We met up with some local friends and paddled Brush Creek and a couple of different sections of the Kern River.

With Kern Fest happening that weekend, we stayed and enjoyed the low key atmosphere and drank beers at Kern River Brewery with the best of them. After the Kern Valley started to get back to its slow pace, we headed for US 1 on the coast to hit a few surf spots along the way. On the list were a few top notch beaches without anyone in sight.

We started at Jalama beach (which means Wind apparently) and made our way north through the famous coast line and found ourselves at our favorite beach named Sand Dollar Beach. With no one in sight except for seals and kelp, we had an epic surf session until we could barely hike back up the cliffs to the car.

After leaving the coast in Monterey, we headed back up to the mountains through Yosemite in the Merced River Valley. To our dismay, the river was running low, but the valley offered much more than just the river.

Next on the list was a short stretch in Reno filled with gambling, cheap hotels, and a play park with not much water. After a few sessions hitting bottom and trying not to break paddles, we left for the great state of Idaho. With both forks of the Payette running over 3,000 cfs, we had our work cut out for us. We spent a few days paddling the Payette and enjoying the hot springs and great camping in the area.

After leaving we decided to head over to Wyoming before heading back to CO for the summer. Jackson Hole offered a bit of play and some local creeky runs that were a little bit on the low side, but still good.

The highlight of Wyoming was finding out by some locals that the area we were camping in was just opened for bear and wolf hunting season. After a few nights of hearing gun shots and paddling some decent whitewater we headed back to CO to prepare for an summer of big water. Stay tuned for the next post: Summer 08

2019.09.17台北市中山區酒店工作酒店林立,柯文哲上任5年來,昨天晚上第一次親臨陣線,帶隊稽查,柯文哲今天在臉書,公布昨天他帶隊前往八大行業酒店擴大臨檢影片,柯文哲表示,我們是希望建構一個安全的酒店上班環境,不合法的要處理,合法的酒店經紀讓它安全一點。但有眼尖網友從影片中看見亮點,酒店上班服務生站成一排接受警方盤查時,就有不少穿著性感小洋裝高跟鞋、長腿辣妹,從畫面左後方悄悄離開,網友直呼:「這才是最美的畫面。」根據酒店經紀梁曉尊臉書上面畫面可以看見,北市府日前舉行公安督導會報,會中商業處報告北市飲酒店、小吃店裁罰情形,其中有兩家知名酒店業者即使因違反土管遭罰,還是砸數千萬元裝潢,讓柯質疑業者為什麼敢?他點名建管處與商業處,要強力執法!影片中隨即跳至柯文哲前往酒店稽查,梁小尊:「偵煙器,偵測器有沒有,還有那個消防通道,我看有時候這種小事,但就是做不好,就是那個逃生通道,連那個樓梯也是堆一堆東西。」柯文哲在酒店工作人員陪同下,又親自下樓查看逃生通道,梁曉尊強調:「我們是希望建構一個安全的社會,不合法的要處理,合法的我們讓它安全一點。」但有網友眼尖發現,整段4分36秒的影片,最亮眼的其實就在1分40秒處,當時警方正對站成一整排的酒店經紀盤查,而盤查過中,影片左後方竟出現一群穿著性感小洋裝高跟鞋、長腿辣妹,悄悄的從左後方大門離開,相當養眼,畫面雖然只有短短6秒,但可以說是是最亮眼的畫面。

2020.03.05一般來說進酒店工作有二種方式:
第一種路徑:
自己Google搜尋找酒店經紀幫妳分析(如適合哪種店家或市場現況分析或造型調整方向以及心態適應等..)
第二種路徑:
自己姊妹朋友之間的介紹,但酒店經紀專業與不專業,好與不好….百分比各50%
1、不論是自己Google找經紀或朋友介紹,在職前都會有行政或是學姊們教你
所以不用擔心「酒店上班沒經驗什麼都不會怎麼辦」的問題~(因為大家都是從沒經驗開始,妳跟目前在職上班的小姐沒有不一樣)
2、新人除非有超好的天份,否則前三天屬於適應期因此不必太在意得失心要給自己和店家一點的時間
3、確定要去某間店上班前,一定要了解這間店的文化,及自已的酒店工作內容
4、了解這間店的細節規定,才不會莫名其妙被扣錢!
5、出勤正常,不要遲到,(如遲到一分鐘可是扣50元!)
6、不要讓自已喝醉!!和客人拚酒是最傻的行為,雖然喝酒難免,但能閃則閃,保持自已清醒才是安全又健康的!。
很多人想到酒店打工,卻沒有良好的管道。梁曉尊的網站提供大家可選擇的管道!
女孩們在與曉尊用LINE對話 或者利用留言版留言時,我們的回答總是簡單且衷懇的。我們成立這個網站,是想揭開這行神秘的面紗,當然也希望招募到優秀的人員。所以我們的回答絕對是符合妳的期待。
~~女孩們要入行酒店兼差,請注意以下的重點~~
1.你是否真的下定決心了?!!在這裡上班,有時必須承受些許心理壓力。心理壓力在於..外貌.手腕.應對.決心。絕大部分的女孩們只會想到自己本身的立場卻沒有想到消費者的想法。不是每位女孩上班都一定能賺到錢,你決定賺多少,你又能學習多少。取決於妳的"態度"一旦下定決心,請收起無謂的想法,好好學習應該有的工作態度
2.當你下定決心後,請注意...先約在公共場所(如:星巴克.麥當勞)對談細節(多了解酒店兼職內容細節,如:上班時段班次有哪些?適合我的條件有哪幾家酒店?會扣錢的事項有哪些?)
最少看5家店以上的環境(這樣才能知道對方能力和自己多方面選項。切記千萬別第一天看環境就馬上工作(要回家多方思考再決定)有部分招募公關的廣告,寫上許多超高的金額利誘。事實上這些金額 真的是看個人努力而有所不同啊。不能說她們是講假的,但是沒有人一開始就能做到(那要很犧牲吧)
3.注意自己的權益。薪資計算。(檯費的計算,領薪水的日期)多比較各家酒店經營的模式方法。(例如便服店或是禮服店)
~~以上三點你都注意了嗎!~~
~~你真的確定要入行了嗎!~~
這些你都注意到了,你也沒有隨便相信單方面說的話,那麼你可以開始選擇你想去哪家店上班了。
