When I wanted to show my brother last Sunday, as it is entertaining EITHER BRODER and well, is the latest episode turned out as a maximum credible accident Broder. is the full damage report and Jonathan Franzen favorite German word is after the jump:
30 minutes it was the last time at either BRODER about the goals, motivations and meaning to deconstruct some peace movements. It was Broder such important examples as that of a peace group that sets out to hike through Germany to finally focus on the Zugspitze the peace flag to wave.
It can be quite smile. But I wonder what is more stupid. To think through a programmatic migration Germany would bring the Achieve peace. Or making a television show on the idealism and activism of some people happy and to give you any symptomatic problem would have revealed in our society.
It caught the show yet quite funny. Under the Brandenburg Gate and met Broder Hamel Abdel-Samad on four elderly ladies, who for an organization called Mothers Against the War (though I can not remember the exact name, but if I'm wrong, there are more organizations in this absurd quality, oh God!) for Xenu knows what a peace demonstration.
came out after a brief chat with Mr. Broder, that the ladies special Sympathy for the group of Taliban in Afghanistan have nest, where they protect, according to the statement IDFF (?), Only their country from a foreign occupying power. Or something like that. Such a position is certainly shocking. But less disturbing when it is remembered that the movement there at the Brandenburg Gate just had four people.
Broder was still incredibly angry. What seemed kind of strange. Finally, he said in the first episode, after meeting with NPD members still seemed to him as harmless and that he could not upset about it really. I think it would be quite skillful, if Broder would meet in one of the immediate consequences to themselves, and outraged at himself.
*
put the rest of the sequence is composed of 60 excruciating minutes instructive and terribly concerned and saddened talks together about false morality and hypocrisy between Abdel-Samad and Broder and a few no longer significant between performances.
Last Sunday I was glad that EITHER BRODER paused, and instead ran off the press.
know For all the press: It is about the geographical range of a film agent, the perceived budget of a crime scene, and is a literary program with the critic Dennis check. The output on Sunday was surprisingly modest (I think all interviews and reports were held in Germany) and used to great.
The interview with Jonathan Franzen I found particularly great. It was really only interesting topics, such as birds whose names I have never heard in life, liberty and the word "although" to interesting facts about the writing and development process of the author.
What the show for me so successful are especially Dennis checks positions and the words that he knows how to support this. It is a pleasure and a rare treat on television with eloquence and wit to be confronted. after
* In my search pictures Either to Broder, I came across this most sinister side . It is always interesting to see who to contact such formats do and under what headings (politically incorrect) to create as their ideological niches.
When I read the day on one of my favorite places, a large open field that is framed on either side of tree cover, past kahm and everything was already covered with snow, I was almost a bit sad that the lawn is no longer in the autumn mist was wrapped and in the many green and red hues shimmered.
But actually I am very glad that the snow sells the depressing gray.
It's worth quite a lot of attention to throw at the pictures behind the link above. These are 37 photos, which were all made in the past three days in parts of Europe and North America, where much snow has fallen. Very cool, I found that not only is the large hill in Gas Works Park in Seattle this field but also the mountain. On the craziest and most interesting I found the photo No. 17, which is a pagan-Christian tradition of St. Nicholas in Bavaria.
"People dressed as St. Nicholas, a knave in a traditional Bavarian woman's dress, two Gangerl and Butt Mandl make their way through the snow during the traditional parade Butt Mandl near the village of Bishop Meadow Loipl, southern Germany, on November 28, 2010. On the first Sunday of the Advent season, children St. Nicholas is traditionally Accompanied by twelve Butt Mandl and a knave when they go from house to house to give small presents to the. Only unmarried men are allowed to parade as Butt Mandl, who are completely covered in straw and wear animal masks and cow bells. "[ direct link, for everyone who was brave ]
Santa Claus for Coca-Cola may be a symbol for the sell-out of all this, what is sacred or significant. But perhaps he should keep good that bear his assistants no fetish masks . However, make just such figures, as wrapped in straw Butt Mandl (?) and the fact that there is probably very different religious and pagan traditions meet each other such domestic shrines so interesting.
There are not many people within can use five minutes for several times words like Down Coolen and wind down without the impression of total full post to be.
on the border of Sutro Heights Park in San Francisco (next to the Richmond district) was 1868, the Cliff House, a huge Victorian hotel, rolled to the final few meters of rock in California. The photographs from the early days of the hotel you can look at on the website of the Cliff House Projects .
There are few things that seem as mysterious as old black and white photographs. Maybe it's the grain of the image, or the coloring of a colorful world of HD in shades of black and white. Maybe it is the aesthetics and fashion of another time. All the small separation can definitely conclude that what I see there a fantasy or a parallel world arises.
And then the usual follow-up question. What will the Photos in 100 years? And our pictures will appear so fantastic?
I am currently a full time housewife, because my mom is not there and therefore I must throw the budget alone. This means washing clothes, cooking, cleaning brush, ...
But I am me for another reason entirely doll that my mom in about 2 weeks is:) you will give me loads of cosmetics from the USA * bring happy * I found on NYX, the balm and eleven o'clock . ordered and therefore they also asked me to bring the Bobbi Brown shimmerbrick at Nectar and a lot of lip glosses from Victoria's Secret .
Also, I'm waiting for some final orders from heatheresque.com , which includes, unfortunately, and therefore provide all of the remaining pigments in large quantities at a reasonable price. I watch there times over, it's worth ;)
I have not much to do and would like therefore start time to sort my back-ups. Here I thought I could post photos! Posted: D
They are here 3 of my 4 back-up boxes. I keep them in cosmetics, which I either double I bought because they were out of LEs or just cosmetics, I had to have, but have not used yet because I still have enough in use. It also includes pieces in there, such as the P2 Lashbase that were taken out of the range and therefore had to be stashed. The back-ups of my mineral eyeshadow by TSS I store separately, since they are sorted by the various collections.
box 1 small box with the latest back-ups
crate 2 in here I keep a lot of cosmetics from abroad (I was in August in London and have since pretty slammed)
box 3 in here I keep my double nail varnishes that are also available in LE, or were taken out of the range
I was now in the Müller and where last week there were still reduced the lipstick, the new products today were recovered. There are already enough pictures on the net about the new range, so I only show the products that have convinced me.
The Lipappeal lip glosses had my little ink transfer and are, therefore, all remained in the store. Too bad, because if you look at the Bottle from the outside looks, you have high expectations.
But the Colour Show lip glosses are all awesome. They all have Glitter, perhaps not everyone suits, but they think but what they promise purely external. I would have taken all the best, but then I have to * ahem * 6 of the restricted 10:)
left to right: 020 Oh So Chic 030 Pink Me Up 040 Srike a Pose! 050 Purple Reign 070 Light My Fire 100 Sun Kissed
cost you € 3.75 each;)
could also still one of the new paints with. His name is "330 Absolutely Chinchilly" and is as the name suggests, be a dupe for Chinchilly of Essie. In addition I can not comment because I have no more Essie varnishes. It costs € 2.49.
Here is an addendum to my beauty shopping last week
everything from the Ready to Wear Le P2: * lip gloss 020 pink eye shadow combination (2.75 €) Lipgloss 010 * pearl mix (2.75 €) * nail polish cream velvet 010 (1,95 €) purple wool * 010 (2.95 € ) * look Perfect Blush (3.75 €)
* Basic bronzing powder (2.95 €) at Woolworth * Essence Rouge show off "01 Me, Me , Me "(2.45 €) * and a lip gloss from an older (no idea which one) MNY LE (2.25 €)
a case from the perspective of a staff member was probably anorexic actually me in the month before. As the Fitness First, we are not entirely helpless, because we certainly have opportunities to interact with the member and to highlight the risks firmly attentively. Of course we must be here but not to amateur and remote diagnostics to be carried away may incur discrimination. If you know of cases, please contact me confidentially like fitness first in wolfgang.klauke @. de . We will review the cases and do everything in our power to do to our duty of care to Members to meet. Wolfgang Klauke
PS: happy as a post
PS: The criticism that I have not blog in a long time taking the floor is partly right and arrived. We have accelerated our customer surveys actually, but the prospect of the forum members we have not yet started. The baseless and quite adventurous conspiracy theories on the Future of Fitness First (and my own), however, are not really worth it to seriously put to address it. So briefly: Yes, improving customer retention continues to be one of our most important goals. Is there more to be done? Yes. And the constructive criticism in this blog (which by the way become so much less), we continue - as any constructive criticism that comes to us - very seriously.
Comment: No one knows what, and no one can expect is a customer service not
Hi everyone. I have to start in mid-January last December with a contract be concluded. € 44.95 processing fee, 49,95 € monthly fee. End of January I noticed on my statement that I have been charged € 150, I felt immediately turned to my studio where I had a very sweet girl turn. Has recognized the problem, namely that was debited from only December, and said she leads The more .... the beginning of the adventure, or rather of horror. I do not know anymore, I've called you twice a week there, I called customer care at the studio, I called the hotline, the club manager I would have to call back! NOTHING! NADA! I tried writing it then, you have a time limit and stated that as long as I cleared it up in my debit authorization recruiting. What I have done so then, 2 days later I had a letter from FF in the box where it asks me to tell as soon as possible but the reason for the reversal! ????? I then suddenly, silence for a credit of € 39.95 have no idea how composed, it also got a booking directly back, the lady at the hotline could not explain, unfortunately. I'm just extremely enttäuscht.Es me to this day no one even called, I expect FF observations. On Sunday I was back there on the course, the card was blocked, I was just a "you are two months in retreat," met with, the question whether because not everything in there is I only got the answer that I should even make an appointment with Customer Care to make ... 'm Speechless, but even at a clarification, I am especially interested in the answer and the handling for such cases, I'm going to assume the appointment .. 'm More than excited ..
After Elixia has closed down in Berlin, unfortunately, and was taken over by the totally overpriced Holmes Place, I train at Fitness First. Had there been a reasonable alternative in my area, I would never have occurred. During my first visit I noticed that hygiene can be desired and the classes are overcrowded. I should have listened to the first impression! Most days all units are occupied and in the classrooms, participants lie on mat mat, so you always have the feet of the neighbors in the face. I have often gone without using it again because I got no more room.
But instead of offering more courses will continue to be recruited more members. Personal Trainer and work perfectly understandable often overwhelmed and have no time to respond to customers or to correct them. The poor performance on tests does not surprise me at all. I will terminate my contract as a precaution right now, although he is unfortunately still a long time.
Comment: In search of expert support for FF - failure!
Yesterday I was in three Fitness First clubs, and I get some advice. As an accompaniment I had a friend is the one experienced physiotherapist and qualified sports teacher. I was once led by a seller through the club at the special training questions to a coach took. The other two visits were carried out directly by trainers. In all cases, the dei result was the same. The coach had a total of no great idea and gave to questions about my health situation (MS) and the resulting training opportunity even false recommendations. In the end it was just about to sell me a membership because only now it is the anniversary discounts. These discussions have scared me, because I was not about discounts but a competent support for which I want to pay money. I want to feel in good hands and not just a number in the sales statistics are. Stiftung Warentest is correct in its assessment to 100%. Thanks also for the critical information in this blog have helped me in my decision to Fitness First and I very well save money and avoid trouble.
Comment: because FF is not able to send proper notice and confirmation because FF then also sent reminders
Hi, I too would like tell my story and I am convinced that Fitness First attempts with wrong means to keep customers and to obtain money. six months I was a member and I have submitted my resignation within the notice period. The cancellation confirmation came all right, but with a termination date that was wrong to back by 6 months - apparently a bug in the system. After two further notice issued false receipts (same error) but then I was given a cancellation confirmation with the correct date. Ca. Two weeks later I received a 1 Reminder that I should pay extra to my post, even though I paid the fee for full 6 months already had. After I had it pointed at Fitness First I confirmed that it was a mistake and the matter will be immediately changed. I then got the second and third reminder, despite numerous complaints. I think that not even the staff at Fitness First may be incapable I am of the opinion that this was all done on purpose. I'm curious if actually follow legal action. a result I can not just all do not recommend you to register at Fitness First.
Ethical issues in dealing with anorexics in the gym
A FF customer and reader of this blog has made some time ago (in the previous post) the question of whether FF had a "not also a duty of care to the members" and "what would happen if this girl because anorexia (?) dies. Can one really do anything? " We all know that sport is an intensive operation of one of the symptoms of anorexia. Anorexia nervosa or anorexia nervosa is a psychosomatic illness, which, as already affirmed the comment, can sometimes lead to death. In fact, FF should ask how the company is the fact that a person, partly due to the negligence of the Coach could die, and the customer care at the gym? Is there not a duty that person at least to point out that what she is doing is not only harmful but dangerous is it? The simple excuse that one can do nothing, in this case not only an excuse. It is dangerous and not entirely uncontroversial. In the UK the problem has already found its way into the press: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1202636/Gym-let-join-I-anorexic-step-treadmill-killed-me. html and here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Former-Anorexic-Takes-Gym-to-Court-over-Subscription-117706.shtm l The gym, by the This article is talking about, but ultimately the membership terminated and that is what should make FF, if they do not want to be complicit in a murder. For what is the difference between a doctor who has a patient wrongly treated and know that this would therefore die and a gym, but given no medication, but is after all the devices available to burn as many calories that MENSCHNER life could lose? And yes, the gym, everyone knows of that risk. But everyone looks just to - viewers of a death. If that is not morally reprehensible and should be illegal, then what?
I turn today with a dringeden request to you. I myself am a member of a studio in Potsdam and watch for some time a young girl who obviously is getting thinner and thinner endurance training. Now I can not train longer and yesterday the first time again seen this girl in the locker room. I was shocked and had raised after training one employee who told me it had already taken care about more customers, but nevertheless one could "do nothing". I slept for an Nahct about it and can not be satisfied . Give Have you not also a duty of care to the members? What would happen if this girl because of your anorexia (?) Dies. Do men really do anything? It could at least still talking to the coach or the line twice with the girl. But if you can run all the way until now, it has not this girl a long time to think about themselves and their behavior, then it is too late if it is not already is. In any event, I would then not be in the shoes of the Executive Board, I am afraid that provides extreme negative headlines. With it goes but first and foremost this girl, about in the dressing rooms of the ladies a lot is spoken or cared.
That you do you think about the girl is really fond of you But the answer to your request you have already given. "Because nothing he can do" is a standard response in Fitness First. In our club, for example, was in the dressing room so sold a pill dirt from the Eastern bloc obviously at the kids who want to quickly get the big Muscles. We told the head of the studio and did nothing. She'd certainly be afraid of these Eastern bloc types. But you must not these people as Take up membership. You say the girl but sometimes and ask her if you can help her. Fitness First is not intended to make it. They're just happy for every paying member as ours with the pill types. Offer her your assistance. Then you need not blame yourself, make sure you have weggekuckt.
Mr. Klauke, customer service does not work. Can you even with people who think and make something to talk?
It is a pity and a bit cheeky, but it seems to me no other title for the comment of a reader to be, than this. The comment is the following, and he was posted here :
am five years in the fitness Studio.Habe angemeldet.Habe gekündiget my two children for the first time because too many employees in Bocholt hat.Dann debited money has your employee (customer hotline) Freise said I'm not the contractor, despite that I have sole custody, the minor children pending habe.Kündigung were dated incorrectly by your Mirarbeiter, especially as I attached the copy of the contracts hatte.Auskunft is covered by data protection, said Mrs. Freise, but why do I have before in my calls is bekommen.Das a Auskunkt Fitnes First. Several times I call on the hotline, Gabi have their Freise hook, if I have customers that are a little loud, I try to beruhigen.Das they called customer service, was long enough in the service. Your nice Hotline Ladies' Freise, Gabi hang up on three contracts Fitness First is not necessary to talk with me. "yes I am angry because I've called four times nice and nothing happens it is clear that one is getting louder! All the best and thanks for listening.
Fitness First get a 4.2 from Stiftung Warentest has
Those who make the effort and looking at the report Stiftung Warentest on Gyms is, first of all look for the Overall Fitness First cut off with a miserable 4.2. In brief comment in the overall assessment has drawn attention to "deficiencies in the training supervision, poor training skills" (page 87 in Test, 10/2009). The reason is that customers in the training area often "left alone" feeling. Yes, how can feel otherwise? To get a proper introduction, must pay a personal trainer, and these (with exceptions of course) sometimes give a advice and tips that not only are unhealthy but even harmful (as far as I can tell). The same is valid of course also apply to Group Manager: what is the one damaging to the knee or his back is healthy for another coach. How should one because your focus here? And what happens if I should ever really make the knee broken, because the correct Group Trainer soweiso never (NEVER) wrong positions? Can I complain then? (Of course, not against the coach but against FF, because FF does not pay attention to set komptetente coach!).
all readers of this blog I would like to remind you that one of the reasons why I initiated this blog is that
1) nothing is done to keep good coaches (see Sebastian Piatek, a Europe-wide famous trainer training in dance). How stupid can you get?
2) talented and good coaches, like Swen and Steffen in Berlin and other trainers (eg in Hamburg will be sold to boring LesMills courses that are deficient in many respects, not only must be 3 months land with the same choreography and the same. music stand but also the training is monotonous and sometimes bad. We are told that if you do the same choreography for three months, then you better and makes more precise movements. That's true but, unfortunately, because the rhythm of these courses can not have time for the coaches to make technical information to perform the movements. I'm in the U.S. and Body Combat is also here and it is terrible how to move some students. But evidence of false and unhealthy movements are not made. Nevertheless, customers accept these courses of FF and accept that they must at some point in the physical therapy, not because they were sitting at a desk for too long but because they have made a lot of sports, without anyone ever done indication of the health movement would have.
SPORT IN FF is bad because the good coach will be thrown out.
Many thanks to the readers who have remembered the birthday of this blog:
comment # 1:
Congratulations on the first anniversary of this blog! More than 80 posts, over 500 comments, hundreds of opinion polls in a few days, dozens of links to other websites and blogs with similar themes, thousands of visitors and readers, the information here and also form an opinion. But what has become of the dozens of real problems that have been publicly? What happened to the isolated reactions become the spokesman? What happened to the promises of the manager that he was here to spread his press man? What happened to the customer meeting in Berlin? What has become of the survey? What, what what ...! After a year, almost no question to answer really was and no problem has been solved. Tomorrow celebrates Fitness First in a public relations spectacle in Berlin they are awarded by the New You Achievement Awards 2009. Congratulations for such a spectacle, of course, is money there. But we also know at some point, what happened to the real problems or made the promises? I wish this blog in the next Hundred thousands of visitors and readers will, because then at Fitness First at last certainly a need for action. Currently still drips from all of these smooth shapes. So once again congratulations and good luck in the second year!
What happened to everything? Now, Some issues that were raised here, were allegedly solved by Mr. Klauke. However, it is clear that Mr. Klauke has been here taking care of things for which is actually the Kundenbetreeung responsible. He himself has stressed in a comment that " cases are indeed not edited by me, but only by our customer service ". One wonders then, why Mr. Klauke encourages dissatisfied customers have to put up with him in contact when he does is not competent, and why has Mr. Klauke for not responding in recent months? And from a customer meeting and nothing came. Why, because I just am not in Germany. But this is no reason not to report anymore, because , Mr Klauke, you lost my trust, you have not taken me seriously and you thought "that is not there now, they can be our care." You do not worry Mr. Klauke, I'm still FF customer and I would assume (or told) was that a lot still (or even additionally) is pretty bad in your studio, you will not get rid of me so quickly. And since you are offering a customer forum have even dirty, first have to do a little better public relations to show us disgruntled customers that they are serious about customer satisfaction, because I feel once again ripped and the commentator here probably rather well. The results of the survey you have not communicated, but why should that be? I did the survey and it was not about establishing what we are un happy, but weaknesses and out the strengths of the competition. The main thing one is a little better than the competition, or you can pretend as if you were better, but on the substance to the actual satisfaction, you do not care.
comment # 2: We want this blog all the best! Hopefully we learn sometimes what has become of the issues raised in this blog problems with Fitness First. What is this example from the termination of the mother to me the two kids and too much money debited? And what happened to all the other termination and rest period cases? What has become especially in the cases where the Lord wanted to help Klauke? What happened to the customer meeting with the Lord Tilk and if there has been what are the results? What happened to the customer survey and what are the results for the consumers? The 8 seitge A3 promotional leaflets lying around what is now the club can certainly not be the result. Honestly this money for the advertising agency could have been even more appropriate use for the customers! But see the highly paid masters in Frankfurt, of course not in their new glass palace.
