If you think you’ve heard strange noises in your neighborhood, know that the Mummies are here at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana.  With over 1.4 million visitors experiencing Mummies of the World to date, the display at Bowers Museum will be the first time the exhibit has been to Orange County. As the largest exhibition of real mummies and related artifacts ever assembled, the exhibit provides a window into the lives of ancient people from every region of the world including Europe, South America and Ancient Egypt, Check out this week’s OC SPOTLIGHT as we talk with one of the exhibit’s “mummy specialists”, James Schanandore (who teaches at the University of Wisconisn-La Crosse) about what makes this exhibit so interesting and unique. And watch this space closely as we give away some VIP tix to this exhibit in the coming month!

Tax Tips for Homeowners

Posted in Uncategorized on March 14, 2016 by OC Talk Radio

It’s tax season, which means figuring out how to use your home to its maximum tax advantage.  So our experts, Hamid and Fay Hamadanchy, spend this episode of the OC HOUSING CONNECTION discussing tax considerations to home ownership with some tangible tips on how to maximize your home deductions (or at least not overlook the obvious!)

What are the different rules for deducting closing costs or the different rules concerning home improvement loans or energy saving programs?  They even talk about different ways to structure your PMII (private mortgage insurance) so it may become deductible or exotic things like deducting your land lease costs (if there are any…something we typically only see in places like Irvine, Monarch Beach and Costa Mesa).  Think of this show as a “tax tuneup”with tips, ideas and information you’ll want to review with your CPA or certified tax planner.  Only on Orange County’s only community radio station, www.OCTalkRadio.net.

Welcome to THE GRIEF GIRL

Posted in Uncategorized on February 27, 2016 by OC Talk Radio

Check out our newest show, THE GRIEF GIRL, hosted by Kristi Hugsted which tries to pull back the curtain and remove the stigma attached to one of our final taboo topics, grief and the grieving process.  Having been there herself after her husband’s dramatic suicide, Kristi transformed herself into a survivor and grief counselor to help others understand and learn how to deal with grief and keep it from overwhelming us.  So join us twice a month as she brings in real people with real grief stories and how they handled them from dramatic losses like those suffered by parents of teenage suicides to the day-to-day losses we all suffer and try to bury like job loss and marital breakups in the hope that we’ll all learn to handle them better and live through the natural grieving processes attached to each.

The Real Story Behind Hillary’s Email Server

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on August 25, 2015 by OC Talk Radio

Charles Weaver, CEO of the MSP ALLIANCE (the trade group for over 25,000 “managed service providers” who help clients like Hillary Clinton move their email, websites and data to servers “in the cloud”) joined myself and host Aaron Mangal on our weekly show THE CLOUD to try and clear up the issues involved in Hillary’s ongoing “email server scandal” and what this means for the industry as a whole.

What are the rules for public officials wishing to set up private email accounts and/or servers for their personal email?  And are the MSPs who provide these services bound by a different set of rules when they set up a private server for a public official, particularly when it involves potentially classified or sensitive correspondence?

Listen as we try and untangle this mess and all the issues it raises for good governance and best practices for MSPs going forward, only on THE CLOUD, every Thursday at noon PST….brought to you by Network Remedy.
