I want to know the best places to get unaltured seeds, for growing as food.
How To Store Seeds For Years To Plant Food So You Can Survive
Since the convenience of the modern grocery store has taken over, most people have lost the skills of growing their own food. This is a basic skill that people have known since the beginning of time, however, very few people have the knowledge to grow their own food. Learning how to collect, and how to store seeds was such common knowledge in the past, even the children knew exactly what to do. Today's modern children do not even know where the food comes from, and would be of no help in growing the food a family would need to survive.
12 Pounds of FREE Survival Seeds Per Family Per Year! |
In a real emergency, seeds are worth more than gold. This No fluff and NO B.S Report gives you just the raw info and systems you need to know when facing a disaster situation! Enter Email Address Below |
When it comes to growing your own food, learning how to collect and how to store seeds is the most basic skill that is required. Understanding the basics for saving seeds, allows you to have a never ending food supply. In the past this was much easier, than it is today, because the fact that the seeds have been manipulated so much by man. In the past you could save the seeds from a plant, to replant them again for the next season. That is not the case with most seeds today, because most seeds are hybrids or genetically modified.
Seeds have been scientifically manipulated, so people could not save the seeds, and would become dependent upon the seed companies. Now people have to buy seeds over and over again to plant gardens, because most seeds are hybrids. This is where different varieties of plants are cross pollinated, supposedly to bring out the best qualities, and produce superior produce. These advantages help the food industry, because they can grow produce that will truck farther, and store longer on the shelves.
For these superior trucking and storing qualities, the food industry has sacrificed taste. Produce does not taste as it did decades ago. This is partially due to the fact, that non organic growing methods are used, and the soils in America are depleted of mineral content. The mass farming methods have all but destroyed the soils in America. Organic produce is far superior in taste, and health benefits, even though it will not truck as far and sit on the shelf as long.
The main thing that happens when people begin to grow their own food, is they have a comparison to how the produce tastes, and they will often never eat any store bought produce again. Learning these skills now, can have great benefits for the family. The entire family can participate in gardening, bringing them closer together. Emphasis can also be put back on meal preparation, and eating as a family, enjoying the "Fruits of their Labor." This can bring families back together, which is greatly needed in today's American dis-connected society.
All emergency disaster plans should include learning how to collect the best survival seeds, along with learning how to store seeds to grow your own food. Once you learn how to grow your own food, you will have the peace of mind that you are becoming responsible for your own destiny!

Too Few Cooks Spoil The Broth
We consider a principal-agent relationship in which two tasks need to be carried out. Each task involves a decision. The principal can neither contract on the two decisions nor on the benefit which she receives from them but only on a signal, which simultaneously reflects both. We show that the efficient choice cannot be achieved if the principal employs a single agent. If, however, the principal employs a second agent, she can set a payment scheme such that the efficient choice can be implemented. We also examine when this implementation is vulnerable to collusion.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Poor leadership with regards to Kindergarden. Mrs. Smith never showed up. Had sub for 2 weeks before they assigned Mrs. G. She stepped in to teach and nurture our littleones. The kids love her and are thriving under her care. Found out today the principal is Repalcing her w/out any notice to parents or students w/ a 8th grade teacher from Mtn Vista (no primary background)This will be there 3rd teacher since school started. Kindergardeners need structure/stability/nurturing. This principal has no regard for there well being. You can not make multipule changes like this at there age. Young minds have a hard time with trust & bonding. This is an outrage!
The parents are not involved enough with their own kids. They are the first to complain about the teachers and administration but they do not look at the behavior of their kids. I see very little support for the PTO. This school would be great if they got involved. The teachers go above and beyond for the students with the resources available. The administration needs to have more of a presence in the school. My son and daughter do not even know who the prinicipal is. Discipline is much better this year. They seem to be cleaning house. Students are suspended when they need to be and the inschool suspension room is not a joke anymore. My kids love their teachers and the teachers communicate with me on a daily basis. This is a nice change this year!
Students safety is a main priority on the campus now. I am only concerned with the communication from the administrators. I have tried numerous times to contact both of them and have never received a call back. I was finally able to get a hold of the in school suspension teacher, Mr. Johnson and he called me right back and took care of the issue right away. I think more parents need to be involved with the school. My kids are much happier this year!
I have noticed a lot of changes for the better this school year! One thing that bothers me is that parents criticize the school for not having any extra curricular activitites, yet there have been two fundraisers and many do not participate. What gives?
This is the worst school I have ever seen. I have tried numerous times to volunteer and the teachers don't want the help. I'm on the PTO and spend a decent amount of time at the school. The new principal is awesome!! If you have a problem go to Mrs.Nicholson and she'll get things done.
I agree with the teacher's comments. Parents, get involved! It doesn't take much to show your support. The teachers need you and the school needs you. We have the potential to be a fantastic school. Let's do it.
Considering all the changes this school has gone through, the teachers are still doing a great job. My kids are learning.
I am a teacher at San Tan and I feel that the biggest problem is lack of involvement from parents. Teachers are made to do everything. Teachers cannot discipline if it is not done at home. Many parents will not allow their child to falter, often blaming the teacher or administration for problems the student is having. Please let your child accept the consequences now or it may be worse later on when you will not be able to step in. Give teachers the benefit of doubt and show support. This support will show your child that you value education and those who are trying to provide a learning environment for your child. Yes, this school needs more activities for kids. Please contact your board members and Dr. White!
I've been disappointed by the leadership demonstrated by the school and the district. It has the potential to be a great school -- new building, great location, great neighborhood environment -- but children here are given inadequate structure and there are minimal hours of teaching events. The profanity from older kids is unbelievable and the teachers act like they don't hear it. The district needs to stand-up, acknowledge the problem, and fix it while it's still simple enough to address. Our kids know it's out of control, and some will merely take advantage of it and add to the problem. On a good note, there is much hope for this school. Some teachers are quite committed. It's time to clean house, pay enough to bring in some new educators, and provide a structured place for our children. If your child is here, get involved and mandate a change.
The teachers really shine here, especially the primary grades. The district could be better but hopefully they'll improve with time.
My children have thrived at this school. Sure, it's not perfect, but what school is? Parents should be more involved!
All in all I am happy with the school. The new principal is doing a really good job. The school is really coming around.
Good school. Great teachers. For the parents complaining about not feeling welcome, get involved! Join the PTO or volunteer in the classroom.
I agreed with most of you when I first moved out to this area I wanted to pull my kids out of San Tan Heights and put them in a different school, we started talking to the teachers about what was going on with our children and they looked into what was happening and kept us up to date with emails and phone calls. Our children's grades have been the best they have ever been and the teachers really do care about the kids they are teaching. It is a fairly new school and they are getting themselves on track. I was going to transfer my kids to the new charter school that is being built but have since changed my mind and I going to keep my children in San Tan Heights.
For all the parents complaining about the teachers, have you ever gone in and sat in your child's class to see what really goes on? These teachers are faced with many challenges and are doing fantastic. Many teachers do not have the supplies or the curriculum needed to teach, but they are still finding ways to teach our children the standards? Before bad-mouthing the staff, take some time and visit your child's classroom. At first we were concerned with our child's teacher, but after speaking with her and arranging a class visit we couldn't be happier with the education she is receiving. I do agree, however, that the communication between administration and parents is insufficient.
I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The administration is very negligent in responding to the safety and care of our children. They're not organized and chaos seems to be the norm. The quality of education is par. They seem to be uninformed on important issues to parents and they don't have a pulse on the needs of this community. If you're thinking about buying a home or moving to this area, think again. Housekeeping is poor, and the some of the employees have bad attitudes. The upside, K-3 have quality teachers for the most part. I believe parent involvement is poor because the leadership is poor. Hopefully, this school will make some adjustments and turn their image around because our parents, students and our community deserve better.
My daughter was enrolled at San Tan Heights for Kindergarten and is now completing 1st grade at Mountain Vista and I feel I have left her in these schools too long. I am pulling her out in May and have already applied to Edu-Prize for a better learning environment and far better education. I wish I would have pulled my daughter out sooner. I would encourage every parent to take a hard look at these schools and consider other options. I'm glad I did. I don't agree with the concept of a k-8 school and I don't understand why these schools are so bare and cold feeling.
I have a daughter that has been here for 2 years now and I am not happy with the school performance at all. There are to many kids per teacher still after the school split. It also seems that they lack on helping kids that are having trouble getting concepts that they should understand at there grade level.
I have been areound this school since it opened, there has been many changes, some for the better and some not. This year, however, has been a great improvment. THe principal is doing a great job getting things together. The teachers are eager to make this the best school in teh area and finally there is a great leader in the district. My only concern is that it will all change again next year, almost every year we have new leadership in district and schools and the teachers move on quickly, with a little consistancy I think the school would be an excellent choice. Oh and of course they need to add extra curricular classes for the younger kids too!
Since the two school have split, the overall quality of both schools has improved. I have a preschooler at San Tan Heights and an older child at Mountain Vista. I am at both schools dropping and picking up my kids and I can tell you, the schools are not overcrowded and teachers, principals, and staff are doing the best they can with the changes. Everything is in a trial and error stage. But I do agree with other parents, my kids have been to better schools, and academically the two schools are not strong. The curriculum is weak, homework is lacking, and parent involved is very low. Personally it will take time to see both schools performing at their full potential. And it will effort from principals, teachers, staff, and mostly parents. Yes, parents you do need to get involved with the school if you want to see the changes.

Host Of On The Beat #KeepRiveraWhen Rivera accepted the job of the Panthers, he was given more than just a job title. He was given a plate of awful contracts, players that couldn't play and a GM that hamstrung him. Not a soul in the NFL wins under those exact same conditions. I'm not sure we truly know what he offers as a coach, motivator and leader. One more year, with a new GM that may go after free agents and that can draft better, seems reasonable and fair.
The Drive Producer #KeepRiveraGetting rid of the head coach now puts us back another 3 years.
It also costs us a few million to pay him out of his contract.
I say keep him one more year if he does have a winning record for the 2nd half of the year.
If not it's time to look for another coach.
Marc James
Co-Host of The Drive #FireRiveraThe only way Ron Rivera stays is if the Panthers can rally to win 7 of their Final 9 Games which will not happen. A New General Manager usually means New Head Coach.
DJ 'The Suit' Stout
Operations Manager #FireRiveraThe only case I can make would be if the team finished by getting to .500 and I don't see that happening. He is not a head coach.

I don't know what I got myself into but I feel happy and weird and excited but confused and my stomach has butterflies and a whole bunch of other shit in it.

But the more I do,
The crazier I turn into"
4. "You don't have to make your mind up

Oh forgive me if I get too shy but

Hughes learned caregiver lessons from wife during her cancer battle |

After battling the disease for seven and one-half years, Eunice passed away Nov. 29, 2011. "I watched all the things that she did and, when I?was nominated to be the caregiver this year, I pondered it at first and then I thought, I know what I can say and I know what I should do because of her background and the lessons that she taught me," said Hughes.

Discussion of iron and steel defense feats
Well, I supposed there is only so many words to describe a hardness of something. And sometimes, "as hard as iron (and or steel)" is nothing more than but an expression. As I do my ranking on the other threads, I realized some physical feats are rather confusing as hell. So what are your opinions and how you rank these hardness? I supposed they are all kind of different so rank it based on whatever you like.
Upper Mid tier to High Tier Franky's cyborg body preskipped and post skipped, Blueno's Tekkai, Jabra's Tekkai, Rob Lucci's Tekkai, Pacifista's body, Kuma's body, Boa sisters' haki, Marineford's wall, Jozu's diamond body, Hody's ES body, and Vergo (whatever technique that he is using) Lower to Mid tier Pearl's iron plates, Don Krieg's wootz steel armor, Mr. 1's supa supa body, Mr. 3's harden wax (he claimed as strong as steel), Ohm's iron cloud shield/sword/whip, Kalifa's Tekkai, and Absalom's tough skin |

Asset bubbles are the main consequences of extremely loose monetary policy. Central banks are printing as much money as they can to drive inflation, but they cannot control where financial institutions and the wealthy who are the first to access this money decide to allocate it. As a result, inflation is never even across the board and the cheap credit leads to speculative bubbles. With record amounts of easing since 2008 financial crisis, there is not just one bubble like in the past (such as housing in 2003-2007 or tech stocks in the late 90's), but also several bubbles growing off each other at the same time. One of the most notable one of these is a second tech bubble revolving around social media.
Just thirteen years after the 2000 dot com bust, we are currently experiencing another internet bubble. Some other technology based companies such as Tesla Motors and 3D printing companies also are trading at high valuations, but the main focus on this bubble is social media and cloud based Internet services. The enthusiasm of the Twitter's (TWTR) IPO only confirms this. As seen in the chart below, internet information providing companies are trading at unsustainable premiums. Outside of AOL, these companies are trading at P/E ratio well above fifty and price/sales ratios over ten.
Valuations of Overvalued Tech Names | (November 13, 2013) | ||||
Company | Ticker | Market Cap | P/E | P/Sales | PEG Ratio: |
TWTR | $23B | Losing Money | 10.72 | N/A | |
Snapchat | Private | $3.5B | No Revenues | No Revenues | No Revenues |
Private | $3.8B | No Revenues | No Revenues | No Revenues | |
Yelp | YELP | $4.27B | Losing Money | 20.97 | N/A |
Salesforce | CRM | $33.68B | Losing Money | 9.7 | N/A |
Groupon | GRPN | $6.81B | Losing Money | 2.82 | N/A |
Tripadvisor | TRIP | $12.11B | 56.23 | 13.44 | 3.17 |
Amazon | AMZN | $159.74B | 1248.32 | 2.28 | 34.73 |
Opentable | OPEN | $1.87B | 66.7 | 10.77 | 4.36 |
HomeAway | AWAY | $2.9B | 148.65 | 9.34 | 5.42 |
*YELP forward P/E 339.22 | |||||
*CRM forward P/E 108.23 |
Even adjusted for high growth rates, these companies are still massively overvalued with an average PEG ratio over 4 for all profitable companies. Twitter, Yelp, and Groupon do not make money at all and private companies looking to IPO such as Snapchat and Pinterest don't even bring any revenues. Yet these companies have valuations over $3 billion in market cap. Even with rapid growth, there is little to no chance these companies can grow into their valuations.
Bulls argue that these high valuations are valid due to the amount of users these sites have. Even if their product can be easily replicated by one month's worth of coding from a computer science grad (such as Snapchat), the fact they were the first to over ten million users supersedes a commoditized product. Also, these companies have not managed to monetize the mobile market to large enough of a degree to generate high profit margins, while brick and mortar industries with more fixed costs have all time high profit margins.
Number of users or unpaid subscribers is a similar non-financial valuation metric comparable to the use of clicks and pageviews to value Internet companies such as Pets.com during the tech bubble. Those who disagree are labeled as not getting it. As someone within the target demographic of social media sites, I do not click on any of their ads and as a business owner have avoided advertising through them due to lack of ROI versus online alternatives such as Google, SEO, and e-mail marketing. Users do not mean anything unless there is a high click rate (>1%) or a subscription fee attached.
The Trade:
The trade here is to be patient and wait for technical momentum breakdown and then aggressively short these stocks on the way down. This can be done by the social media ETF (SOCL) or by finding the least fundamentally sound Internet information/social media companies individually and shorting them.
The weakest and most overvalued companies in this sector are Twitter and Opentable (OPEN). Twitter drains money and trades at an astronomical valuation. On top of this, sponsored Tweets have a low return on investment , even compared to other social websites such as Facebook. Opentable is also excellent short due to its overvaluation and also due to the rise of competition. Fees are steep for Open Table ($250 per month + $2.50 per reservation), and competitors are cutting them out on pricing severely. Opentable will have to likely reduce prices or lose market share which are both harmful to its stock price.
If Snapchat goes public, they will easily become the best short in the tech sector. Snapchat is easily replicable and has a demographic that little disposable income (and lacks the patience to wait through ads). As a result if Snapchat monetizes aggressively, then they would lose their whole audience to a knock off competitor who will provide Snapchat's service for free. Since the instant deleting of photos and videos is not patent protected, their product can also be easily commoditized.
Overall, I expect all of these companies stock prices to crash, With sky high valuations, lack of intellectual property to create economic moats, difficulty monetizing what customers consider free services, and an overall weak macroeconomic environment are all massive headwinds for these companies. The Nomadic Macro letter will update subscribers when we decide to initiate short positions on any of the listed companies in this column.

Major NoHo Office Complex Sold to Beverly Hills Firm
A 188,366-square-foot office building in the heart of NoHo was recently acquired by a Beverly Hills real estate firm that's already planning some remodeling, according to Market Watch.
The four-story building that sits at corner on Lankershim and Magnolia boulevards was on sale for more than a year and went for $45 million.
"The company's current plan consists of various enhancements to the asset's common areas, including bathrooms, elevators, lobbies and the parking structure," Market Watch reports. "The company will also aggressively market the building to prospective tenants in the burgeoning technology, entertainment, and media industries common to the North Hollywood submarket."
In June, animation studio Bento Box started renting the first floor of the building.
Last year, Kennedy Wilson bought the bought the Academy Tower building at 5200 Lankershim Blvd. for $48 million.

When police discover a homemade bomb under Emily's car, and she then learns the wife of one of her friends was murdered that same morning, she knows things are deadly serious.
But who wants Emily dead? And why?
A conversation she had with two men, an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and a plan for a double murder all conspire for one explosive ride ... and Emily is the only one who can identify the killer and save the life of the next potential victim.
As she frantically works to solve this ever more complicated puzzle, Emily finds herself playing right into the killer's hands.

What is your favorite Linux distribution for use on the desktop?
Personally, I use dual-boot
Personally, I use dual-boot with Ubuntu, Backtrack and Ubuntu Studio. I find that for me these are the best distributions, since I deal with a lot of media-oriented projects on a daily basis, as well as securing(or sometimes intruding upon) systems. Ubuntu tends to stand out in it's simplicity and user-friendly interface, which makes it great for everyday use. Backtrack is the distro I use when I need to keep myself really hidden on a network or bypass security at school. Ubuntu Studio is my top distro when I am working with digital art and animation. If you are interested in doing these types of things, then I would definitely recommend this combination of distros, however there are certainly dozens of distros I have not tried that may be even better.
What is your favorite Linux distribution for use on the desktop?
I switch my vote to Chakra GNU/Linux. Maybe the fastest KDE distro which can be installed from a live CD in under 30 minutes. I used the testing repository to get KDE 4.7 installed, and it has the fastest KDE at running programs that I have seen.
I agree with you I prefer
I agree with you I prefer Chakra so far. I can not wait for Akabei and Shaman 2. Of all distributions I have used I find Chakra to also be the most innovative Distribution I have used.
Crunchbang is Debian-based with Openbox and a few other minor tweaks. Wonderful operating system.
Gentoo... of course!

Trisquel GNU/Linux
Trisquel GNU/Linux
FXLinux is my favourite. I wish I could get it from http://www.thinkpenguin.com/. They do support allot of distributions though. Second favourite is Ubuntu.
They sort of do...
If you read further down they do list other as a configuration option in addition to one free distribution (Trisquel) and Ubuntu.
They are trying to support less technical users and freedom simultaneously. It isn't an easy task. What is good about the way they are running things is they ensure free software for all users and this will make it easy for non-technical users to switch to Trisquel some day.
For those who don't know most distributions are not free. They are based on mostly free software. Non-free components create a wide array of problems for Linux / GNU users. In fact many problems exist in Microsoft Windows as a result of this too. Most users don't realise they are contributing to the problems they encounter by purchasing non-free dependent hardware and using non-free software.
The company is trying to make it easy for technical users to support free software. They contribute to the Free Software Foundation, Trisquel, and other projects. They also have a few projects in-house. The have a plug-in for instance which helps users navigate free software problematic sites (like Netflix).
Trisquel is a completely free distribution with almost as much support as Ubuntu. Significantly smaller market share though. It is Ubuntu for the most part without the non-free components and a few critical replacements / minor UI changes.
Unfortunately Trisquel is still slightly more difficult to use than Ubuntu. This is mainly due to the lack of Adobe Flash support. I believe flashvideoreplacer is included and works pretty well for some flash video content.
If you look at some of the peripherals and accessories you will notice they support a long list of the top distributions too. It is also interesting to note that they clearly state the list of compatible distributions is more extensive. Most recent distributions are compatible or will be shortly.
SLACKWARE forever!!!!
Slackware user since 10.2,I've tried red hat,fedora,mandrake,suse... nothing,maybe is the rpm/yum stuff? Don'know, with Slackware I'm finally at home!
I introduced myself to Linux with Slackware back in the mid-90's. I've been using Slackware regularly on various home PCs since version 10.2 all the way up to Slackware64 13.37 on my new netbook.
desktop distro
I use Gentoo. I love that you really can customize every aspect of the system. And it is fairly simple once you get past the whole compile everything from source part.
Long time user of Slackware has become a bit lazy.
WattOS technisch perfect
WattOS is a relatively small Lxde, Openbox powerhouse Linux, and everything !! appears to be right. (Also sound, video with libdvdcss2 and recording of media, which I consider as very important).
I had to get accustomed to Lxde and Openbox after tastes like
'KDE old' and 'Gnome old', it is an other way of thinking, but it's allright with me now.
Very nice, very exact, very fast and very stable and a lárge stock of software (Ubuntu, Debian). WattOS has become an asset for me in less then a week after years of Linux.
The only tiny minus: icons can't be moved on the desktop, but they are working on it I heard, maybe a larger pager?
Gentoo's flexibility and leanness are what I love about it. I keep getting frustrated with all the headaches that the other binary distros give me.
Agreed with above comments - a Gnome set-up on Gentoo is the most flexible, up-to-date, stable, and useful desktop I know.
Pity I have to stick with Ubuntu at work...
Largest selection of packages I have ever seen, and I'm running the original install I made in 2005 without ever having to reinstall.
Perfect merge between power and flexibility.

Slackware, baby!
Pardus, definitely. 2011.
Pardus, definitely. 2011. Love it!
Me, too... Pardus 2011.1 is
Me, too... Pardus 2011.1 is just perfect. I tried Ubuntu, slackware, mint... Pardus rocks!
Sabayon is great for so many reasons:
Rolling release, all the pros of Gentoo and binary-based, Entropy is a simple and powerful package manager, continual evolution with a belief in stability, excellent hardware recognition and support out of the box, versatility, great 64-32 bit compatibility, helpful but not excessive forums, and the devs have a sense of humor. Perfect for intermediate users like me, for work (GNOME) or home (KDE) use.
Mint is the stuff for converting folks from Windoze. Every time someone brings me their infected laptop running a legacy OS, they have to watch me run Mint on it as a hardware test :). I run it on my personal laptop, too. I might switch to the Debian-based version soon, but I trust those guys to make an easy-to-use base system that just works for most applications.
Totally agree dude, super fast package manager and overall one of the best rolling release distros out there (probably second to Arch, though I've never wanted to read that much documentation to simply get an OS running). On the flip side though, I don't really like how small some of their software selections are. I know that you "can" choose to use portage, but I'd rather not break my install or compile software. I really wanted to test out Gnome 3, so for now it's openSUSE, but I'm sure that Sabayon will integrate the new desktop beautifully after a few future releases.
Chrome OS
Chrome OS Linux! You can get it from: getchrome.eu
It's a shame that Slackware isn't on this poll. There is something to be said for a distro that manages to remain relevant for 18 years while offering the closest thing possible to a stable vanilla Linux experience without having to build it from scratch. Slackware easily gets my vote -- nothing is more sane once you "get it."
An honorable mention goes to Arch Linux. I love Arch and firmly believe that it has a bright future -- with Arch I can set up a fully-functional system with anything I could possibly want (and nothing I don't) in under an hour, depending on download times. I consider it near flawless if you're looking to be on the bleeding edge, are okay with things breaking on occasion, and don't really care about the lack of package signing.
I was a little surprised not to see Gentoo/Funtoo on here. I'm not personally a fan but I can understand the appeal. The "meta-distribution" concept is neat but, frankly, I prefer to go with FreeBSD when I want to compile an entire system from scratch -- it's faster and there are far fewer headaches.

LMDE, Linux Mint and Crunchbang
I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition XFCE in a dual-boot configuration with Linux Mint 9. I moved away from Ubuntu to LM some time ago with no regrets. LMDE is even better...faster, more stable and with continuous rolling updates. I think it works very well as a desktop distribution. On a leaner netbook, I am using Crunchbang, now also Debian-based, with Openbox manager. It is also a very good distro, with a minimalistic and fast Window manager. Debian distros are solid with great community support.
My favorite Distro
I have to say SuSE, but do a lot of distros and have a history with it Mandrake > Mandriva and Red Hat till Red hat stopped playing the desktop game. Ran a computer club, and still actively test a few chosen distros, but always fall back to SuSE..OOPS, now open SuSE. Some of the Slack, Gentoo, and Arch clones are very interesting.
If I had to choose a *bumtu, it would be Kubuntu or one of the MANY clone such as Trisquel. life is good, Linux rules
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

MBA Interview Preparation
- Artículo escrito por: C. LaBalle.
- C. LaBalle ha escrito 53 artículos.
Now that round 2 of the MBA application season is over, you can finally relax! NO, not really!! It is time to prepare for your MBA interviews! Hopefully, if you made a strong application, in just a week or two you will be getting an Invitation to Interview.
The interview is an essential part of the MBA application process. Here is a general breakdown of how it works at most schools:
1) the admissions committee recieves thousands of applications
2) they review the applications and reduce them to a small select group who will be interviewed
3) from that pool of interviewed applicants, more than half will be admitted to the MBA
So, if you are invited to interview, your odds of admission went from very small (just 7% at Stanford, 11.5% at Harvard, 20% at Wharton) to much higher, generally more than 50% possibility of being admitted.
Getting invited to interview means two things for you (the applicant):
1) the admissions committee likes you so far! your profile is good enough for admittance into the school and now they want to know you a bit more.
2) you still have work to do! That brings us to this article:
You MUST prepare your MBA interview carefully.
Being invited to interview is a great sign, it is a confirmation that you have what it takes to succeed in the MBA program, but you are still facing 50/50 odds. You can improve those odds by preparing your interview: understand the type of interview you will have (blind, non-blind), with whom (alumni, adcom member, 3rd party), where (on campus, in your hometown, by Skype), in group or single, etc. Once you understand these facts, you must prepare accordingly: know your application inside and out, study your CV, prepare interview questions and practice, practice, practice.
To help you succeed in your MBA interview, expert MBA admissions coach Candy Lee LaBalle is offering an exclusive MBA Interview Seminar on Friday, 07 February 2014. This seminar will cover:
-Different Interview Types (blind/non-blind; individual/group)
-Alumni v. Adcom Interviews
-Common Interview Questions
-Behavioural Questions + STAR
-Preparing an Interview Matrix
-Dealing with Unexpected Questions
-Focusing on the Positive
-Overcoming Weaknesses
-Controlling your Message
-Specific School Requirements

In my experience, the answer is generally yes, it's more common for a minor key phrase to stay on top of the SERPs. As to why that is, here are my guesses: There are few webpages that are really competing with yours, and competing sites aren't likely to fight to hard to beat you in the SERPs on minor terms either.

3Delight is a very fast RenderMan-compliant renderer designed to produce photorealistic images for serious production environments. Some of its features include ray tracing, global illumination, motion blur, depth of field, subdivision surfaces, programmable shaders, quality antialiasing, and antialiased multi-depth shadow maps. The API and the shading language are very similar to what is described in the RenderMan interface documentation.
4Suite is a Python-based toolkit for XML and RDF application development. It features a library of integrated tools for XML processing, implementing open technologies such as DOM, RDF, XSLT, XInclude, XPointer, XLink, XPath, XUpdate, RELAX NG, and XML/SGML Catalogs. Layered upon this is an XML and RDF data repository and server, which supports multiple methods of data access, query, indexing, transformation, rich linking, and rule processing, and provides the data infrastructure of a full database system, including transactions, concurrency, access control, and management tools. It also supports HTTP, RPC, SOAP, and FTP, plus APIs in Python and XSLT.
The Alamin GSM SMS Gateway is a group of daemons that allows you to send/receive SMS messages from any GSM device that supports AT+ commands (GSM modems or GSM mobile phones) or supported by Gnokii. A client program allows you to send messages from any IP client. An SMTP interface is provided to allow MTAs to send SMS directly to the GSM network. IMP (Incoming Message Processor) modules allows you to extend functionality to implement banking, network administration, bd querys, etc. from a GSM mobile phone.
Alt+Connect manages dialup connections, allowing a group of networked machines to share a single Internet connection through their server. Custom client software lets users to start or stop their internet connection, and the server (connectd) ensures that the connection remains up only while someone's using it. Features include support for multiple ISPs and links (modems or ISDN channels), connection control lists, ability to record the time a user spends online and charge him for it, and the ability to enable and disable IP forwarding as a machine starts or stops using the Internet.
AMC is a programmable compiler/preprocessor. It has a built-in programming language called CGL (Code Generation Language) that lets you add new syntactical elements to the source files that AMC processes. In addition, AMC has a module structure reminescent of the UCSD p-System compiler. AMC comes with a default package that adds a dynamic form of OOP to C.
'App' is a preprocessor for C++ that accepts as input arbitrary C++ code that may contain embedded constructs for specifying algebraic data types and associated pattern matching operations, and produces as output the same code with all such constructs translated to normal C++. What app essentially does is provide for C++ pretty much the same capabilities that functional languages have regarding algebraic types. 'Applib' is the associated runtime library that supports the core run time requirements of the translated code, and which provides additional utilities (applib is covered by the LGPL).

COLLEGE STATION -- Things got physical and a bit chippy as the Aggies broke out the shoulder pads for day of fall camp.
The team worked out for a little over two hours on the Coolidge Grass Practice Fields.
Early in the practice freshman Sabian Holmes caught a pass from Johnny Manziel, and instead of letting him go out of bounds defensive back Floyd Raven knocked him to the ground. Head coach Kevin Sumlin did not like the tackle and sent Raven to the sidelines.
"It's getting a little bit heated out there, which y'all probably saw early today. But competition is a good thing and we've got to keep competing to get to where we want to be," said Sumlin after practice.
The Aggies return to practice Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Their first full pads workout is set for Wednesday.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.
If you believe a comment violates the above rules, please use the Flagging Tool to alert a Moderator.
Flagging does not guarantee removal.
Multiple violations may result in account suspension.
Decisions to suspend or unsuspend accounts are made by Station Moderators.

Fernando Torres makes the most of City's late slip
Mix up at the back allows Chelsea striker secure victory at Stamford Bridge
Fernando Torres scores Chelsea's late winner against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images
Chelsea 2 Manchester City 1: It was around six seconds from the 90 minute-mark here, the fourth official preparing to hoist his board for added time, when Fernando Torres confirmed his revival by burying Manchester City's prospects in south-west London.
A pinball in central midfield ended with Willian punting down-field over a back-tracking Matija Nastasic, the centre half panicking and nodding back and over an on-rushing Joe Hart. There was Torres, sprinting beyond the visitors' confused last line of defence and away from Martín Demichelis, to convert into the gaping net. A man who has endured plenty of wretched luck in front of goal had his good fortune at last.
This was a first Premier League goal of the season, and only a second of the calendar year, with its timing deflating their fellow challengers for the title at the last – sending out a thunderous message to the division.
José Mourinho's celebrations suggested as much, the Portuguese charging manically past the away team's dugout and climbing steps to celebrate with supporters. This was the second week in succession he has ended up in the crowd following last weekend's dismissal to the stands but this was less about him. Torres has rarely departed this arena with the crowd bellowing his name so vociferously.
This was his contest, even if Sergio Agüero's own brilliance for the visitors had threatened to eclipse him until that late intervention. The striker maintained that fine form from Schalke in midweek. Indeed, the hosts' half-time lead had owed everything to Torres's revival.
Chelsea had started brightly then faded as City, all power through the centre and trickery on the flanks, seemed to take a grip of the contest, driving the Londoners back into massed defence. For a while the visitors had swarmed all over the home side, David Silva and Agüero scuttling into dangerous territory, but their energy did not yield clear sights at goal and Chelsea, as they had proved in Gelsenkirchen in midweek, are happiest springing on the break.
In that tactic, Torres's contribution was key. The Spaniard should have registered his second Premier League goal of the calendar year on the half-hour mark, Ramires's burst and angled centre collected by the striker alone near the penalty spot with time to consider his shot. The result was rather panicked, a ballooned effort high and wide that had Mourinho puffing his cheeks in disbelief on the bench.
Yet, moments later, it was the 29-year-old's burst away from Gael Clichy, the full back left gasping in his vapour trail, to the by-line and skimmed cross that presented André Schürrle, ignored by Demichelis on his debut, with a tap-in for a first Chelsea goal.
That was Torres's 13th league assist for the club, a fine tally and evidence that his all-round game, if not always his shooting, is on song. Within minutes he had gathered on the opposite side of the pitch and cut into the box before curling a delicious shot on to the far angle of bar and post. His manager's reaction was more pleading this time, a pained expression across his face as he slumped over the wall at the front of the dugout struggling to come to terms that his striker's luck was still out.
That period had suggested City were creaking, the memories of defeats at Aston Villa and Cardiff this term perhaps playing on their minds as they played catch-up against a fellow contender. Yet their response was a show of strength. Theirs was an urgency from the restart, stampeding forward and wresting back both control and parity. Samir Nasri's slipped pass sent Agüero into space at Gary Cahill's back, albeit at a tight angle from goal. The blistering finish, thumped high beyond Petr Cech at his near post, fuelled the visitors' conviction.
City have never lost a Premier League game when their Argentine has registered and they should have tightened their grip thereafter. Silva was guilty of overelaborating, Javi Garcia of a tame header down from the Spaniard's free-kick, with Agüero looping another shot from distance marginally wide.
Chelsea, having reorganised and taken stock, threatened on the break when Eden Hazard tumbling in the area under Pablo Zabaleta's challenge and Ramires, a blur of energy throughout, thrashing over from distance.
When Willian's vicious free-kick veered just away from Branislav Ivanovic, City must have thought their point was preserved. Then came Nastasic's rush of blood and Torres's moment of glory: this time, the Spaniard really does feel back to his best.

The linkage between corruption and shadow economy size: does geography matter?
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of corruption on the size of the shadow economy in countries that differ with respect to income level or geographical location. The underlying idea is that the primary manifestation of corruption might be associated with country characteristics and that different types of corruption might have different consequences. Design/methodology/approach – IV regressions and bootstrapping are applied to a cross-section of countries to show that geographical location of a country impacts on the relationship between corruption and the shadow economy. An interaction term of the level of corruption and geography is used to capture the differences in the types and consequences of corruption between countries. Findings – Corruption does not seem to affect the size of the shadow economy outside the tropics. Instead, the higher the tropical area fraction of a country, the more a certain level of corruption enlarges the unofficial economy. Moreover, corruption and the shadow economy seem to be substitutes in the tropics. Research limitations/implications – Different types of corruption may have different consequences. Originality/value – Unlike most of the previous literature, the paper accounts for the fact that some corrupt practices tend to be commonplace in some parts of the world, while other countries may be plagued by other types of corruption. Therefore, the consequences of corruption might also differ.Download Info
