Apple employees get $500 off Macs, $250 off iPads and raises
Fulfilling a promise it made in January, Apple has reworked its employee discount program to include $500 off Mac computers and $250 off of iPads. According to 9to5Mac, this discount stacks with an existing 25 percent off which Apple employees already enjoy. Apple employees, rejoice!
While certainly a very generous offer, there do exist some specific limitations. Each employee may only use their discount once every three years and must have been employed at least 90 days. Despite those stipulations, this sounds like a solid way for those who work for Apple to maintain a modern computer throughout their years of service.
Interestingly, the discounts specifically exclude the Mac Mini -- presumably because it would be completely free after a 25 percent discount and $500 off. Given that the Apple employs about 47,000 people, there is little doubt it would be giving away quite a few Mac Minis if that weren't the case.
Additionally, the brand new Retina display Macbook, a laptop which starts at $2200, appears to be missing from the internal employee portal. Although it hasn't been expressly stricken from purchase, employees won't be able to buy until it appears in the portal -- which may be never.
9to5Mac is also hearing reports of retail store employees getting raises -- in some cases as much as 30 percent more. If what we heard in December was true about Apple Store workers bringing in an average of $278 per hour in revenue, they probably deserve it. The Apple-centric website reckons the average raise is between $2 and $4 per hour, according to their sources.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Anyone here work for Apple? PM me
If that was the price of their PCs for <I>anyone</I> they'd have 50% of the market in under two years. I am impressed with Apple actually rewarding its employees. Compare that to any other company making record profits who only enrich their top management while firing everyone else they can. And btw, Apple doesn't make its own processors...no idea how that got in there.
I wonder if jobs would have approved this?
With all the revenue they make from the apple tax, I am not surprised they would do this...
Does that include slave laborers?
why is this even news worthy?
Kudos to Apple for rewarding employees commensurate with their well deserved success. They make class leading hardware and software and have class leading service to go along with it. They have continually raised the bar on what consumers can expect from computer tech.
This is rediculous! How about saying that the Apple iPad is overpriced for the consumer! Apple employees are not really getting a discount. They are just paying a more justified price for something that is overpriced.
They make hardware ? Are you loco Mr Guest above me?
Ah, guest posts, so full of insight and well reasoned thoughts.
Wonder if the workers in the Foxconn factories get any bonuses...
So they get it at the price it should really be at then. They're getting the products without the '*****' tax they chuck on top for the shiny apple logo...
Wonder if the workers in the Foxconn factories get any bonuses...
An extra biscuit.
Awesome, I'm sure all the Chinese kids slaving away to make this crap are getting $4 and hour raises
"Kudos to Apple for rewarding employees commensurate with their well deserved success. They make class leading hardware and software and have class leading service to go along with it."
This is the stupidest post on here. Apple Store employees (the ones getting the raises, the subject of this article) don't make any hardware or software. What a clueless post. The people that actually slave away to make the products don't get jack except tall buildings to jump off of
Wow, if this isn't the ultimate F-YOU to apple's legions of slaves in China I don't know what is
I want Jobs to be the ghost in my machine!!!!
"Each employee may only use their discount once every three years"
There you go, not all that great as it looks. People must have some lousy jobs if they think this is worth an article on a web site, I get way better benefits from a much smaller company, even an extra 13th and 14th month at the end of every year.

Continuing this old thread :
http://silverstripe.org/archive/show/120The thread is about connecting to external MySQL MySQL databases. And the guys figures out that in order for this to work, the core MySQLDatabase class needs to be altered to create a new MYSQL Link every time ....
Sam ends with :
"Setting the new_link parameter seems appropriate; the alternative would be to call "USE xxx" before each database query which would get annoying, especially given that multi-database access is a pretty rare scenario."My questions:
Is this still the "official" way of pulling data from an external database ? Should I expect any adverse results from creating a new DB_link every time (garbage collection / mem usage / performance issues etc.)Thanks !

This is the code for DB::getConn()...
* Get the global database connection.
* @return Database
static function getConn() {
return DB::$globalConn;
}It doesn't look like it supports named connections unless I'm missing something. Can you post an example?

Tip: Artist Tips: "Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliners are great for creating precise liner that won't move, crease, or smudge. Eyeliner is a modern classic that never loses its style and can be completely customized to create the feeling or "character" you want. Think about sketching the desired shape rather than trying to paint it on in one motion. This will give you more control and a smoother application." |
- Color
- 47Th Street
47th Street Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner takes liner to the next level. Rich, creamy color that glides on smoothly with a completely budgeproof finish. Incomparable 12-hour wear with no smearing and no caking. Deeply dramatic shades named for the most iconic streets in the world.
Francois' Insight: "Eyeliner always makes a woman look beautiful because it accentuates the shape of the eyes. It's very pure and graphic. I like the modernity of it." |

Fancy taking a step back in time? Well National Geographic have posted a video of the world's first commercial cell phone call being made from a car in Chicago.
The call was made on October 13th 1983 by Bob Barnett, who was president of regional telecom, Ameritech. The call was made from a parking lot of Soldier Field in Chicago. Interestingly, the call was to Alexander Graham Bell's great-grandson who was in Germany.
The surrounding press watched in amazement as the call was routed via the new wireless network to Germany and all from the comfort of a car. They were also given the chance to try the new technology for themselves.
It's hard to imagine, that in the space of a few decades, the technology that AT&T said would never reach more than a million customers, dominates our daily lives and now has more than 6 billion subscriptions worldwide.
Could you imagine a world without your beloved smartphone and instant access to your daily feeds and social networks? No it doesn't bear thinking about!

Very good, but ...
By Em
from Halifax
Lots of things to like - the fabric, the length, the overall design, but for me the fit is peculiar. Could probably have gone with a smaller size for a true "legging" fit. The rise is ridiculously long - they pull up almost to my rib cage. It's very, very hard - almost impossible for tall gals to find pants with enough inseam on the Shopping Channel. Pity.Still, I kept them, and wear them quite often.
Very stylish!
By Finance geek
from Montreal (Quebec)
Those are very well made leggings.. fits more like slim pants ... very stylish ... can be worn casually but also in a more formal setting ... those leggings fit very well ... a bit on the long side (I'm 5'8" and had to shorten them) ... good addition to your wardrobe, very versatile!
By PinaV
from Montreal
Wow! Best leggings I own. I love the way they fit (perfect). For reference, I am 105 lbs and 5'6"". I ordered an XXS. The fabric is soft and they fit nicely without feeling you're encased like a sausage. I discovered this line a little late and am hoping TSC will bring back Lori Goldstein very soon. Finally, a collection that has sizing for us lean gals.
Tlis legging
By Ferrie
from T.O.
This is the best legging that I have purchased. Quality is great. The stretch and workmanships are really outstanding. I am sure I will be using this for a long time.Th only problem that I have found was the waist is a little loose with my own measurement which was XL.
Exellent Legging
By Maria
from Vancouver
Perfect Legging.There are not so flimsy that you can see everydetail. And a good lengst too.Hopefully you will get them back (black) so I can stock up.My friends want some too.
Great Legging
By PAT
from ST. THOMAS
I really like these leggings. I purchased the charcoal which are a nice dark grey. They are more like a pant, not tight fitting. I should have sized down as they run a little larger than I needed in the waist. I would purchase again.
Best Leggings Ever!
By LAURIE
from TORONTO
These leggings are fantastic! I would love them to come back, maybe in other colours.....PLEASE! They are like slim pants, but are not too tight and skim over my trouble areas. I kick myself for only getting them in the gray! If these came back in other colours i would get a bunch more! Great Leggings!
( 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
By Shopping Chanelle
from UXBRIDGE
These are the most substantial leggings I have ever bought in that they are just like pants in the style of a legging and I don't feel like I'm compromising dress etiquette. I am 5'9 1/2, size S, and was pleasantly surprised to find them quite long enough and perfect in the rise. There is a perfect stretch to the fabric and I don't feel contstricted even though my thighs/hips are relatively wide. I would like to have seen the pleather detail at the waist somewhere on the legs where it can be seen as I don't suspect the majority of wearers will be wearing them with tops tucked in. I want a black pair. Hope someone returns....!!
Wonderful Leggings
By Spitfire
from Hamilton
I bought these in charcoal which is a nice deep grey. The size is generous and I would go down one size but it isn't available now. The fabric is soft and comfortable,has a nice weight and looks of good quality.Overall these leggings look and feel like high end garments. Love this line
love these leggings!
By Jean
from Ottawa, Ontario
great style, perfect fit! What more can I say!

Another Day, Another Volcanic Lightning Cloud
Dammit Sauron, I already told you -- the Ring has been destroyed!
This is a picture of Cordon del Caulle erupting in Chile. It's not the first time we've seen lightning in the ash clouds of volcanoes here on Geekologie, it's just the first one that looks like a tornado FROM HELL. Impressive, devil, but if you even think about dropping a house anywhere near me I'll jam that trident so far up your ass you're gonna have five horns.

Thanks to Matt, who swears the guy next to him in an airport bathroom stall had this coming out of him. Oh good lordy.

Apparently the Burj Dubai (the world's tallest building) can't stop getting hit by lightning. Well what do you expect being a half a mile tall? That's like a 7-foot woman walking around and people not yelling, "that's a huge bitch!" Also, this may or may not be Allah's way o... / Continue →

Home > Methodist J.C. Walter Jr. Transplant Center - Houston, TX > For Patients > Patient Stories > Cloyd Powell - LVAD Recipient |
Cloyd Powell was the picture of perfect health when he retired from the United States Army as master sergeant after 24 years. But after a routine physical exam, a cardiologist found Cloyd's heart was twice the normal size and diagnosed him with cardiomyopathy.
Throughout the next several years, his condition deteriorated, despite temporary success of medications, a pacemaker and an investigational stem cell transplant. In 2009, during a family vacation, Cloyd was struggling hard to breathe, so he went to a hospital where the doctor told him he was a "dead man walking."
Just a few days later with his family by his side, he was implanted with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) at Houston Methodist. "That LVAD device was the best thing that ever happened to me," Cloyd said. His condition eventually required him to be listed as a priority for heart transplant, and he underwent a successful transplant on October 24, 2010.
Cloyd now enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children and volunteering his time to talk with other patients at Houston Methodist who are faced with the need for LVADs or transplants. "I have so much support and am surrounded by people who treat me with courtesy, respect and genuine love," he said.

Bought this for my 2 year old daughter, very nice product, easy to assemble. Delivery is fantastic, text and email alerts very helpful cannot rate highly enough.
My 2 year old daughter has been sleeping in this bed for 3 nights now and loves it - she keeps telling us how nice it is! Easy to assemble, sturdy enough for her to bounce on and for mum or dad to sit on without feeling it's going to break. Too early to comment on durability but it seems to be a good quality product. The side rails have meant we don't need to buy additional guard rails which is a bonus.
Lovely little toddler bed that took 1 person 20 mins to assemble. Despite the easy assemby the bed is extremely sturdy and looks great quality. My little girl loves it!
We bought this bed for our 25-month-old daughter, who has recently come out of her cot. The bed is great! It took me about 45 minutes to put the bed up by myself. The side rails don't have to be added, and the bed would look good without them, but we put one on one side as the other side of her bed is against the wall anyway. The side rail isn't very long, but since starting to sleep in the bed a week ago my daughter hasn't rolled out once! It's a nice height, and there is plenty of space underneath to store things. My daughter loves her new bed, and says it's very comfy!
I have to say I spent a week going through every website looking for the right bed for my daughter, and I have to say I found it in this bed, I would highly recommend this to parents, my daughter has just turned 3 and has been in her cot until now, so I knew she needed a bed, I was worried she would fall out, but no she hasn't it has a rail on each side and I think that provides security for them, very pleased customer

a girlfriend came in built me a bed scrubbed and waxed the kitchen floor scrubbed the walls vacuumed cleaned the toilet the bathtub scrubbed the bathroom floor and cut my toenails and my hair. then all on the same day the plumber came and fixed the kitchen faucet and the toilet and the gas man fixed the heater and the phone man fixed the phone. noe I sit in all this perfection. it is quiet. I have broken off with all 3 of my girlfriends. I felt better when everything was in disorder. it will take me some months to get back to normal: I can't even find a roach to commune with. I have lost my rythm. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I have been robbed of my filth.
hooray say the roses, today is blamesday and we are red as blood. hooray say the roses, today is Wednesday and we bloom wher soldiers fell and lovers too, and the snake at the word. hooray say the roses, darkness comes all at once, like lights gone out, the sun leaves dark continents and rows of stone. hooray say the roses, cannons and spires, birds, bees, bombers, today is Friday the hand holding a medal out the window, a moth going by, half a mile an hour, hooray hooray hooray say the roses we have empires on our stems, the sun moves the mouth: hooray hooray hooray and that is why you like us.
They dont make it the beautiful die in flame- sucide pills,rat poison,rope what- ever... they rip their arms off, throw themselves out of windows, they pull their eyes out of the sockets, reject love reject hate reject,reject. they do'nt make it the beautiful can't endure, they are butterflies they are doves they are sparrows, they dont make it. onetall shot of flame while the old men play checkers in the park one flame,one good flame while the old men play checkers in the park in the sun. the beautiful are found in the edge of a room crumpled into spiders and needles and silence and we can never understand why they left,they were so beautiful. they dont make it, the beautiful die young and leave the ugly to their ugly lives. lovley and brilliant: life and suidcide and death as the old men play checkers in the sun in the park.
Van Gogh cut off his ear gave it to a prostitute who flung it away in extreme disgust. Van, whores don't want ears they want money. I guess that's why you were such a great painter: you didn't understand much else.
and the sun weilds mercy but like a jet torch carried to high, and the jets whip across its sight and rockets leap like toads, and the boys get out the maps and pin-cuishon the moon, old green cheese, no life there but too much on earth: our unwashed India boys crosssing their legs,playing pipes, starving with sucked in bellies, watching the snakes volute like beautiful women in the hungry air; the rockets leap, the rockets leap like hares, clearing clump and dog replacing out-dated bullets; the Chineses still carve in jade,quietly stuffing rice into their hunger, a hunger a thousand years old, their muddy rivers moving with fire and song, barges, houseboats pushed by drifting poles of waiting without wanting; in Turkey they face the East on their carpets praying to a purple god who smokes and laughs and sticks fingers in their eyes blinding them, as gods will do; but the rockets are ready: peace is no longer, for some reason,precious; madness drifts like lily pads on a pond circling senselessly; the painters paint dipping their reds and greens and yellows, poets rhyme their lonliness, musicians starve as always and the novelists miss the mark, but not the pelican , the gull; pelicans dip and dive, rise, shaking shocked half-dead radioactive fish from their beaks; indeed, indeed, the waters wash the rocks with slime; and on wall st. the market staggers like a lost drunk looking for his key; ah, this will be a good one,by God: it will take us back to the sabre-teeth, the winged monkey scrabbling in pits over bits of helmet, instrument and glass; a lightning crashes across the window and in a million rooms lovers lie entwined and lost and sick as peace; the sky still breaks red and orange for the painters-and for the lovers, flowers open as they always have opened but covered with thin dust of rocket fuel and mushrooms, poison mushrooms; it's a bad time, a dog-sick time-curtain act 3, standing room only, SOLD OUT, SOLD OUT, SOLD OUT again, by god,by somebody and something, by rockets and generals and leaders, by poets , doctors, comedians, by manufacturers of soup and biscuits, Janus-faced hucksters of their own indexerity; I can now see now the coal-slick contanminated fields, a snail or 2, bile, obsidian, a fish or 3 in the shallows, an obloquy of our source and our sight..... has this happend before? is history a circle that catches itself by the tail, a dream, a nightmare, a general's dream, a presidents dream, a dictators dream... can't we awaken? or are the forces of life greater than we are? can't we awaken? must we foever, dear freinds, die in our sleep?
I was shacked with a 24 year old girl from New York City for two weeks- about the time of the garbage strike out there, and one night my 34 year old woman arrived and she said, "I want to see my rival." she did and then she said, "o, you're a cute little thing!" next I knew there was a screech of wildcats- such screaming and scratch- ing, wounded animal moans, blood and piss. . . I was drunk and in my shorts. I tried to seperate them and fell, wrenched my knee. then they were through the screen door and down the walk and out into the street. squadcars full of cops arrived. a police heli- coptor circled overhead. I stood in the bathroom and grinned in the mirror. it's not often at the age of 55 that such splendid things occur. better than the Watts riots. the 34 year old came back in. she had pissed all over her- self and her clothing was torn and she was followed by 2 cops who wanted to know why. pulling up my shorts I tried to explain.
by God, I don't know what to do. they're so nice to have around. they have a way of playing with the balls and looking at the cock very seriously turning it tweeking it examining each part as their long hair falls on your belly. it's not the fucking and sucking alone that reaches into a man and softens him, it's the extras, it's all the extras. now it's raining tonight and there's nobody they are elsewhere examining things in new bedrooms in new moods or maybe in old bedrooms. anyhow, it's raining tonight, on hell of a dashing, pouring rain.... very little to do. I've read the newspaper paid the gas bill the electric co. the phone bill. it keeps raining. they soften a man and then let him swim in his own juice. I need an old-fashioned whore at the door tonight closing her green umbrella, drops her green umbrella, drops of moonlit rain on her purse, saying "shit, man, can't you get better music than that on your radio? and turn up the heat..." it's always when a man's swollen with love and everything else that keeps raining splattering flooding rain good for the trees and the grass and the air... good for things that live alone. I would give anything for a female's hand on me tonight. they soften a man and then leave him listening to the rain.
I read last Saturday in the redwoods outside of Santa Cruz and I was about 3/4's finished when I heard a long high scream and a quite attractive young girl came running toward me long gown & divine eyes of fire and she leaped up on the stage and screamed: "I WANT YOU! I WANT YOU! TAKE ME! TAKE ME!" I told her, "look, get the hell away from me." but she kept tearing at my clothing and throwing herself at me. "where were you," I asked her, "when I was living on one candy bar a day and sending short stories to the Atlantic Monthly?" she grabbed my balls and almost twisted them off. her kisses tasted like shitsoup. 2 women jumped up on the stage and carried her off into the woods. I could still hear her screams as I began the next poem. mabye, I thought, I should have taken her on stage in front of all those eyes. but one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid.
you haven't lived until you've been in a flophouse with nothing but one light bulb and 56 men squeezed together on cots with everybody snoring at once and some of those snores so deep and gross and unbelievable- dark snotty gross subhuman wheezings from hell itself. your mind almost breaks under those death-like sounds and the intermingling odors: hard unwashed socks pissed and shitted underwear and over it all slowly circulating air much like that emanating from uncovered garbage cans. and those bodies in the dark fat and thin and bent some legless armless some mindless and worst of all: the total absence of hope it shrouds them covers them totally. it's not bearable. you get up go out walk the streets up and down sidewalks past buildings around the corner and back up the same street thinking those men were all children once what has happened to them? and what has happened to me? it's dark and cold out here.
they found him walking along the freeway all red in front he had taken a rusty tin can and cut off his sexual machinery as if to say -- see what you've done to me? you might as well have the rest. and he put part of him in one pocket and part of him in another and that's how they found him, walking along. they gave him over to the doctors who tried to sew the parts back on but the parts were quite contented the way they were. I think sometimes of all of the good ass turned over to the monsters of the world. maybe it was his protest against this or his protest against everything. a one man Freedom March that never squeezed in between the concert reviews and the baseball scores. God, or somebody, bless him.

- Typical larger Roman houses had a special dining room, the triclinium.
- The ante-room to the triclinium had a fine mosaic floor of which three panels survive, showing the seasons spring, summer, and winter.
Latin, from Greek triklinion, from tri- 'three' + klinē 'couch'.

A bile culture is a laboratory test to detect disease-causing microorganisms in the biliary system, which includes the gallbladder, bile ducts inside the liver, and bile ducts outside the liver.
See also: Bile
Culture - bile
A sample of bile (a digestive fluid) is needed. This can be done using different methods, including gallbladder surgery or a scope procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
For information on those procedures, see:
The bile fluid sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is stored in a special dish (called a culture medium). The laboratory team watches to see if any bacteria, virus, or fungus grows on the sample.
Preparation depends on the specific method used to obtain the bile sample.
See also:
A culture does not involve the patient, so there is no pain.
This test is done to detect infection within the biliary system. The biliary system creates, moves, stores, and releases bile to help in digestion.
The test result is normal if no bacteria, virus, or fungus grew in the laboratory dish.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal result means bacteria, fungus, or virus grew in the laboratory dish. This may be a sign of infection.
A culture itself does not involve the patient, so there are no risks.
Other risks depend on the method used to take a sample of the bile.

While the results fell short of expectations, the Muskogee Lady Roughers recorded three top-8 performances in the Class 6A state meet at Yukon High School on Friday.
MHS coach Angie Hillmon hoped for better finishes but knows the future is brighter for the experienced gained.
"We did well." she said. "We didn't do as well as I liked but I'm happy with our performance. We were running with younger girls that didn't have the experience."
In the 200-meter dash, Xandrea Maxwell recorded a fourth-place finish with a time of 25.3 seconds while teammate LaShai Nunley finished seventh at 25.55. That marks the first time two runners under Hillmon's tutelage have qualified for the finals in that event.
The girls 800 relay team came in seventh with a time of 1:45.83. The squad consisted of Myangel Thomas running leadoff, Zamaree McNac going second, Nunley on the third leg and Maxwell running anchor.
Nunley, a senior along with Maxwell, knows that if there's one thing that she can pass on to the younger girls, its never quit on effort.
"Work hard in practice and stay positive," Nunley said. "Just keep doing what you do."
In 5A action, the Tahlequah boys and girls both recorded eighth-place finishes in the team standings. The boys finished 22 points and the girls with 26. Deer Creek won both the boys and girls championships.
Jessica Hembree picked up where she left off on Friday, recording a fifth-place finish in the 1,600 with a time of 5:33.84 while Gracie Medellin was right behind her in sixth at 5:40.14. Alli George was sixth in the long jump with a leap of 16 feet, 5 1/4 inches while Hannah Miller was eighth in the 800 with a time of 2:29.44. In relays, the Lady Tigers finished sixth in the 800 at 1:46.39 and eighth in the 1,600 with a time of 4:17.61.
For the boys team, Sylas Sloan and Logan Cook went 3-4 in the discus with Sloan's best toss at 152-04 while Cook came in at 151-10. Zech VanFleet recorded a fifth-place finish in the 1,600, crossing the line at 4:39.34.
Also in Class 5A, three Wagoner Bulldogs finished in the top eight in their events with Lateze Clayton coming in second in the discus at 152-05. Decarius Clark finished sixth in the 300 hurdles at 41.16 and Desean Clark was eighth in the 110 hurdles with a time of 17.34 .
