Coastside Fire Protection District recall succeeds; incumbents are out
San Mateo County Times
April 10, 2013
HALF MOON BAY — Cal Fire is in, and the incumbents are out.
Three members of the Coastside Fire Protection District board of directors were swept out of office by a roughly 2-to-1 margin in Tuesday's recall election, according to a final tally released Wednesday morning by the San Mateo County Elections Office.
The candidates who were chosen to replace them — Karen K. Anderson, J.B. Cockrell and Harvey Rarback — plan to sign a new contract with Cal Fire. That process will formally begin once the new board members are seated, which must wait until the election results are certified sometime in the next 28 days.
Mike Alifano, Douglas Mackintosh and Gary Riddell were recalled over their push to sever ties with Cal Fire, which has provided fire services for Half Moon Bay and the surrounding area since 2008. Their opponents, and apparently most voters, felt the state agency deserved to stay.
Scott Jalbert, Cal Fire's chief for the Coastside district, said he appreciated the support his team received. This year Cal Fire is charging the district roughly $5.8 million.
"If the board does want us to stay," Jalbert said, "we are excited to continue services out here on the coast."
The recalled board members had chosen to budget roughly $2.2 million in the 2012-13 fiscal year toward the transition to a new stand-alone department. Board member Gary Burke, who supports Cal Fire and endorsed the recall, estimated that about $250,000 has been spent. The new board will decide what to do with the rest.
The citizens behind the recall had argued that the board majority was looking for any justification to get rid of Cal Fire, saying it was providing a better service than the district's old stand-alone department — and at a cheaper cost.
A 2011 study by an independent consultant and a 2012 report by the San Mateo County civil grand jury both determined Cal Fire was doing a good job and recommended that the district maintain its relationship with the state agency.

Then there are the metaphorical bridges that must be built.
Take, for example, the Coastside Fire Protection District situation. A recall election has been set for April and three duly elected directors may be shoved out of office. They brought that fate upon themselves by ignoring the obvious (that we have top-notch service at a fair price) and putting the district into reverse, toward another dysfunctional, expensive, crony-filled department operated by, well, them. However that plays out, we'll ultimately have to build a bridge on common ground. We all have an interest in affordable, professional fire service.
Recall Of Alifano, Mackintosh, Riddell is now only sensible option
HMB Review
January 3, 2013
Matter of Opinion
A recall election for the three seats held by the Coastside Fire Protection District Board's majority, Mike Alifano, Doug Mackintosh, and Gary Riddell, will take place on April 9. The issue that prompted the recall election is a major policy change to go back to a more costly and trouble-prone stand-alone fire department.
A stand-alone fire department will cost the community somewhere between 50 percent and 70 percent more to provide the same level of fire protection that we have currently from Cal Fire. It appears to me that the reason for the change is so that the Board majority can have more authority in day-to-day operations. A public Board of Directors is responsible for policy; it is not qualified to run the daily operations of a fire department.
The primary failing of the current Board majority, is that it does not understand its responsibilities. Having once served as a firefighter or a paramedic, or even as a small business operator, does not qualify anyone to run the day-to-day operations of a fire district. This misunderstanding has been underscored recently by the members' inappropriate behavior since the recall election petition succeeded in requiring this change to go to a vote of the public.
The three board members announced their intent to make this major policy change a year ago last December and after an uncontested election in which this intension was not announced. At every meeting since last December's, a growing number of constituents have asked the board not to make this costly policy change. These requests have fallen on deaf ears.
The Board majority's justification for the policy change is that Cal Fire's services are inadequate. The San Mateo County grand jury investigated this claim and found no evidence to support it. The grand jury recommendation was for the Fire District to continue its current policy and for the Board majority to desist from its plans to form a stand-alone department. The grand jury noted that Cal Fire is providing fully adequate fire protection services and has saved the community millions of dollars over the last five years.
Saying "no" to this major policy change is the rationale behind the recall election. If the recall petitioners win this election, there will be a different Board majority on April 10. A new majority will continue with the current policy of outsourcing fire protection services to save tax dollars. For the past five years this policy has been extremely successful.
In their last meeting of 2012, the majority recklessly put in motion a process that will mean that, starting next July 1, our community will be without fully qualified fire protection services. This irresponsible act underscores how unsuited and unqualified these three individuals are for public leadership. Sensible leaders would have at least awaited the outcome of the recall election before pulling the plug on our current model for fire protection. This decision has elevated the issue to a new and dangerous level. These three directors all deserve to be removed from office.

Fire recall vote set for April
HMB Review
Sunday, December 23, 2012
There is now a date to determine whether three members of the Coastside Fire Protection District board will be recalled: April 9, 2013.
As far as San Mateo County Elections Deputy David Tom can remember, it will be the first recall election in the county in recent memory.
President Doug Mackintosh, Director Mike Alifano and Director Gary Riddell are all facing recall.
Critics say they lack transparency as they seek to terminate a contract with current fire protection services provider, Cal Fire, and to pursue a more expensive, independent department. They counter that they only want what's best for district taxpayers and that Cal Fire hasn't delivered on promises.
Elections office protocol required governing board members — including those facing recall — to select a date between 88 and 125 days after announcing that the election would take place. During a special meeting on the evening of Dec. 12, Director Gary Burke proposed that the election happen as soon as possible, on March 12.
"To delay it, to me, doesn't seem to be in the best interest of the voters," said Burke.
Alifano requested the date be pushed back into April.
"I think that the feeling was that the recall message has been out there unchallenged for the last four months," said Mackintosh on Thursday. "We need time to respond, to educate people on the reasons why what we're doing is best for the coast."
As with most decisions of late, the vote was 3- 2. The majority, made entirely of members facing recall, voted to have the election take place at the polls rather than through the mail. That will be $55,000 more expensive than the mail -in ballot option. Regardless, Tom said that vote-by-mail is an option for all elections. Voters have the option to return the ballots by mail or drop them off at the elections office or at the polls.
Anyone who is in the Coastside Fire Protection District is eligible to vote.

Thursday, November 29, 2012
HALF MOON BAY — The San Mateo County Elections Office has certified the recall petitions for three members of the Coastside Fire Protection District, and an election will be held next year.
An elections official delivered the certifications to the board at its meeting Wednesday night in Half Moon Bay. The board will convene a special meeting Monday to decide when to hold the election.
A group of citizens collected a total of 9,983 signatures to recall board members Mike Alifano, Douglas Mackintosh and Gary Riddell over their push to sever ties with Cal Fire, which since 2008 has provided fire services for Half Moon Bay and several nearby coastal communities, and re-establish a local fire department. The three men argue the state fire agency has not lived up to its contract.
"These directors have spent over $170,000 on consultants trying to create a new stand-alone fire department and they have almost nothing to show for it," said Marshall Ketchum, a leader of the recall campaign.
Alifano said Thursday he is looking forward to the recall election, which will pit the incumbents against a slate of fresh candidates.
"I'm excited that we're going to have it," Alifano said, "because I think we can finally put to bed (the issue of) Cal Fire versus a traditional fire department."

All Three Recalls Are Certified
9,983 Signatures for Recalls
Wednesday morning we turned in petitions to County Elections with a total of 9,983 signatures to recall Directors Alifano, Riddell, and Mackintosh. The individual breakdowns are
Alifano – 3290 signatures
Riddell – 3366 signatures
Mackintosh – 3327 signatures
County Elections now has 30 business days to verify the signatures.
Alifano's petitions are in yellow folders
Riddell's petitions are in green folders
Mackintosh's petitions are in blue folders
The color selection was completely arbitrary.
New, short-staffed fire department will cost at least $7 million more than CAL FIRE over the next 5 years
The new standalone fire department proposed by Directors Alifano, Mackintosh, and Riddell will be short-staffed from Day One, will rely heavily on overtime, and will cost at least $7 million more than CAL FIRE over the next five years.
This is according to the documentation provided in the October 18 Coastside Fire Protection District Board Packet.
Attachment D (page 23) shows staffing requirements. We currently have 35 full-time CAL FIRE firefighters staffing our fire stations. CAL FIRE firefighters work longer hours for less pay than would the firefighters of the proposed new standalone fire department. The last round of expensive consultants showed we would need approximately 42 firefighters working shorter hours to provide the same amount of coverage as we currently get from CAL FIRE. Yet attachment D's budget covers only 34.5 full-time firefighters.
Attachment E (page 25) of the board packet shows the projected 5-year costs for this new, short-staffed, standalone fire department at $42.4 million. Last year's actual expenses with CAL FIRE were $6.66 million. Assuming that CAL FIRE's costs rise 2% per year over the next 5 years, the CAL FIRE 5-year cost would total $35.4 million.
The new, short-staffed fire department will cost on average at least $1.4 million more per year than CAL FIRE over the next five years.
Update: the CFPD budget presented on October 18, 2012 was poorly done and did not add up. The October 18 Board Presentation did not specify amounts for overtime in the annual budget (10/18/12 attachment D), but did include $600k annually for overtime in the 5 year plan (10/18/12 attachment E). There was no way of knowing this looking at the budget as presented. This was clarified a month later in the November 24, 2012 Board Presentation – see 11/24 attachment B.
Thanks to the tireless work of dozens of dedicated volunteers, we are pleased to announce we now have more than the required 2,714 signatures on each of the three recall petitions for Coastside Fire Protection District Directors Mike Alifano, Gary Riddell and Douglas Mackintosh. This means that when we turn in the petitions to San Mateo County Elections, they will be required to accept the petitions for filing. We have until Friday, October 26 to file the petitions, and we expect to file the petitions during the week of October 22. Volunteers will continue to gather signatures up until the day we file the petitions, since we'll need every signature we can get to make sure we qualify the petitions for the ballot. We will have booths at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival to collect signatures.
After County Elections accepts the filed petitions they have 30 business days to verify each signature, or they may choose to verify a random sampling of signatures. San Mateo County Elections Manager David Tom said in the August 29 HMB Review that because the petitions have a relatively small number of signatures, he expects they will verify each signature.
If the number of valid signatures is greater than or equal to the minimum required number, County Elections certifies the petition as sufficient, notifies the proponents, and submits a certificate of sufficiency to the governing board. Within 14 days after the meeting at which the governing body received the certificate of sufficiency, the governing body issues an order for an election to be held. The election is held between 88 and 125 days after the issuance of the order. Candidates may file nomination papers and declarations of candidacy after the order of the election is issued and up to 75 days prior to the date of the election.
By law, Alifano, Riddell, and Mackintosh may not succeed themselves or each other in a recall election.

DLC for 10/9: Singles from Billy Squier & A Flock of Seagulls
Once again, we knew courtesy of @RockBand that new artists would be coming to the Rock Band library for the first time next week, this time two artists to last week's one… Or so we thought, until they corrected themselves later last night, revealing it would only be one. So who's hitting this week? Time to find out:
- A Flock of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away)
- Billy Squier – The Stroke *
- Billy Squier – Everybody Wants You
* Denotes Pro-Guitar/Bass chart availability for $.99.

I Ran is a pretty cool song.
I Ran has been my most wanted song in Rock Band for ages. Hopefully we can get Space Age Love Song sometime down the road. The Stroke is nice, but I'm not all that familliar with Everybody Wants You. Lonely is the Night would have been cool too.

"Lonely is the Night" is one of the few reasons I'll play the Guitar Hero platform still. I'm happy to get two at least – been hoping for Billy Squier for a long time. These are a big upgrade over the Christmas track for me, at least.

Wahoo! "I Ran" was #4 on my most wanted list. I'll take the Squier's as well.
Time to get our 80s on – like for shure
I Ran was among my favorites in GH80s. A must-buy, even if there's no way you can do justice to it with the hairstyles available in the game.
Probably get The Stroke too, for nostalgia/kitsch value. Other Squier song, probably not, but more power to his fans.

Well played
VERY happy about this! Ever since we got "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You", I've been hoping for more Billy Squier.
Of course, I'll probably have to get the pro guitar upgrade too, so I can play Squier on my Squier…
Love the Flock of Seagulls song too!
Best. DLC. Week. Ever.

This was my exact thought upon seeing the announcement! I love 311, but I don't feel they chose great songs. So this is the first week in a LONG time that I am super girly excited. I love all 3 of these songs and have wanted them in RB forever! STOKED
Break out the Members only jacket. Love me some cheezy 80s! All 3!
Who couldn't love a song about Billy dating miss Michigan
I'll probably eventually get "The Stroke." Nice week of singles!
Yay for another Vice City track! I Ran is long long overdue, although I'm gutted it didn't get the Pro upgrade. However, it does mean we get to play some Squier with a Squier
I am 80s happy.
I was waiting for "I Ran" since Guitar Hero 80s !
Thanks Harmonix :Db
A non-metal week where I am getting everything? Rare, but awesome!
I ran is one of the few songs I've used the request a song feature for on the official site. Very cool, and I'm surprised no "Lonely is the Night" and just do a 3 pack by billy. It was in GH 5 so the master is usable

This. EXTREMELY surprised and actually disappointed "Lonely is the Night" is not in there. Should be a three pack really.
Gonna buy all three songs though. Great week

If/when there is a RB4, "Lonely is the Night" would definitely be on-disc, for sure. So maybe there's still hope for a rightful successor to RB3. Going off-topic, I wish they would do a sequel to RB3 because, while it is great, they can definitely improve upon it and perfect it. RB4 should be their last RB game developed exclusively for the current console generation. If they can get a great set list together (great songs are still, sadly, unavailable in Rock Band), they can renew interest from the general public (with GH out of the picture) and invigorate all of us die-hard fans as well. I'm hoping Harmonix is at least in the planning stages of the next true RB experience.
Finally more Billy songs and I'm glad to see another Vice City track. I'll be getting all of these when they come out.
Whooo HOOO, Been dying for Squier.. I wish there were more off Don't Say No ( Two Days Gone, In the Dark, My Kinda Lover… great album) Little known fact too, Squier played all the instruments himself on his debut . I hope we'll get more from him soon, Great songs, I'll be picking up the whole set this week…

If I nodded my head any more to this post, I'd have a sprained neck. I'm hoping for a future "Don't Say No" album release.
I could also be persuaded to buy She Goes Down, She's A Runner, Don't Say You Love Me, and probably most of the other songs in his catalog.
Wasn't 'The Stroke' the very first custom Guitar Hero song ever made? Nice to see it FINALLY come to Rock Band.
Ah…so close. Swap "Lonely is the Night" for "Everybody Wants You" and I would have been squealing with delight. Glad to at least get I Ran in there finally. That's been a song that I had found myself constantly thinking was available in Rock Band before I realized it really wasn't. No longer.

Yeah, I'll admit, my first reaction to reading the announcement was "Isn't 'I Ran' already in there?".
I know some wanted "Lonely is the Night" but I'm pretty happy with "Everybody Wants You". It's a great song, and I'm looking forward to shredding with Squier!
Every Friday i tune in here to find out what the next dlc will be.
Each week kind of becomes like a birthday gift where i'm hoping for some cool LEGOs, GI Joes or Transformers and sometimes end up with socks.
Loaded the page this week and as soon as i saw the hair i knew it was going to be a good week.
This week breaks a drought where i was only buying for the sake of doing my part to help keep Harmonix in the Rock Band biz.
In for all three!

Buying for HMX … yeah, I kinda stopped doing that after I hit the song limit (hence no 311 or Three Days Grace for me). I can do a lot of things for you, HMX, but if you don't want me to buy DLC anymore except when I really like the songs, it's not my loss.
I'm liking this.
Definitely picking up Flock of Seagulls and Billy Squire. Here's hoping we'll see more from the GH franchise. Thx HMX!
Between "I Ran" and the hair-metal in the RBB soundtrack, it drops my Xbox-envy of the Playstation-only GH:80s down to Bathroom Wall, Only a Lad, and What I like About You.

I know "Wizards in Winter" is a fairly highly-requested song.
I wouldn't mind, either.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this week's DLC. Wanted I Ran and Everybody Wants You for a while. The Stroke is a nice bonus
this is the best. just the best.
From the correction on Twitter everybody on the forums seemed to be guessing either Harvey Danger or Billy Squier. I was guessing Billy Squier, but I was expecting Lonely is the Night. I never really listened to him so I'll have to give those two songs a listen. I'll pick up I Ran though. Overall it's nothing too special for me here, but it sure as hell beats what we've been getting recently for me (minus Days Go By).
Showing my age, but I am so buying these!
Flock of Seagulls FTW! Wish Space Age Love Song was available too, hopefully sometime down the road.
"The Stroke" was one of those "oh THAT song" moments when I listened to it, not much of a fan though so only "I Ran" for me next week.
Please Harmonix have mercy. After that sale my wallet is dry AND STILL YOU WANT MORE?!?!
Very well. I will run for more points.
Two weeks in a row of good to great songs to pick from is always a good thing, but as many have mentioned these songs are available in the plastic band universe. In the new reality of slim DLC pickins, maybe songs not used before would get more sales. I know I usually don't re-buy DLC that is on "the other disc' unless it is a fave tune. It could have been: FoS= Space Age Love Song. The Squier songs= In the Dark, Don't Say No, or My Kind of Lover.
Mcmax3000 Reply:

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, 'I Ran' has never been available in a full band game before. It was only in GH:80s.
So while you may have an argument about the Squier songs (which were DLC for GH, not on any of the discs), I completely disagree with changing the pick for Flock of Seagulls.
Ospero Reply:

Just went to check the Guitar Hero Smash Hits setlist, and "I Ran" isn't on there, so you're spot on. Also, getting an 80s one-hit wonder and then not releasing that one hit? They've done that once already this year, they're (hopefully) not making that mistake twice. (Seriously, "Power and the Passion" over "Beds are Burning"?)

In 1968, American artist Donald Judd purchased 101 Spring Street, a five-story cast-iron building in New York's SoHo neighbourhood designed by Nicholas Whyte for $68,000. The artist lived there with his family for many years and used the space as a studio. The building is considered to be the birthplace of 'permanent installation' as well as an inspiration for much of his work. Judd believed the placement of an artwork was as vital to its understanding as the work itself. His first applications of this idea were realised in his installation of works throughout 101 Spring Street as he renovated the expansive property.

As you know, the situation in Serbia is bad. Water is rising very fast but we are organized and ready to help. Yesterday 3000 volunteers went to Obrenovac to build the dam and 1500 went to Sremska Mitrovica. One of the volunteers said: "I don't care if i get hurt or die, it is my duty to help my people". Many more volunteers wait to be send in flooded areas to work. Serbian army and firefighters are risking their lives to save as many as they can.
Help centers are full of food and clothes that people donated. Russia, Republika Srpska, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia sent their helicopters, boats and trained man to help. We are grateful for that.
I am so proud of my people and people all around the world that helped in this awful times. Together we can get through this.

"We loved our New Years card! In our picture we had woods behind us and the gold ' glitter' and trees worked well together. The quality of the paper was great, nothing flimsy about it. I bought the rectangular envelopes so we didn't have to add postage too. Oh and I used the sites helpers to make the red on my nose, from the cold, not look so red. We have had so many compliments on the card. Great company :-)"
"The paper was a heavy cardstock and the printing was very high quality! I expected it to just be thin photo paper, so I was very happily surprised when I received them. The turnaround time was very quick and I was able to get updates on where they were in both the printing and delivery process. They even arrived a day earlier than stated. Tiny Prints has gained a loyal customer out of me!"
"i loved that i was able to customize all the words on this card- i used it for new year and new address cards, so the design was perfect. all the colors came out perfectly, and i'm completely happy with the finished product!"
"My cards are beautiful and I've gotten great compliments on them. Every one loved the vintage look to them, I was very pleased as well. I initially was disappointed when I had paid for overnight expedited delivery and I didn't receive them as I expected, but the young lady at customer service was very nice and immediately refunded my shipping cost. Luckily, although they were late arriving, I was able to send them out just on time to be received by Christmas."

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Quoting a recent survey, Wheaton maintains that as many as 50 percent of Christian students say they have lost their faith after four years of college. According to the author, the reason for this high figure is that most students are simply not prepared for the transition from high school to college, from living at home to living on campus, and from living as a child to living as an adult. Wheaton uses the lessons learned from his student experiences at Stanford University to develop wise warnings and good advice for students to help them navigate the hidden minefields of their college or university.
While many students--and their parents--are more concerned about managing time, money, and homework, Wheaton names three more insidious enemies of the college student that he calls the three Pillars of Peril: sex, drugs and alcohol. He believes that every sinful temptation (that a college student faces) falls into one of these three categories.
It is important to note that while this is a book of principles, advice, and warnings, it is also a book that explores these perils and the hidden implications. Wheaton uses Gods Word as the sole basis for his guidelines and as the framework for the positive game plan that he proposes: interaction with God, peers, and authorities. His eye-opening look at life on college campuses is recommended reading for all students, along with their parents, so that the campus experience may be one of instruction rather than destruction. Readers should be cautioned that achieving spiritual victory is the primary message of this book. What God has already done to win our spiritual victory through Christthe message of His forgiveness, unconditional love, and mercyis implied, but is not emphasized.
If you are looking for a book that will enable you to overcome the adversities of college life, read your Bible. If you are looking for encouragement to follow that Biblical advice and further instruction in discernment and maturity, then University of Destruction is an excellent choice. -- Susan Hammond, Christian Book Previews.com

Applied online. Got call from recruiter. Set up phone interview with hiring manager in few days. Manager was very friendly. Explained about company. Asked my experience related to requirements of the position and interest in position and about the company. Asked some problem solving (DS/algorithm related) questions. They see how you approach it. Not the exact answer. Next round would have been coding related interview with team members onsite. But couldn't clear the initial screen.Interview Questions

I interviewed through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in February 2014.Interview Details
Interview process is longer than most other tech companies.
Had 1 phone screen with the hiring manager about my current work and 1 algorithmic question.
Had 8 onsite 1:1 interviews with a paper-based coding test. The paper-based coding test is what you would give to a college student.
All interviewers were nice and friendly. All asked me 1 coding problem and 1 general question about either networking, OO programming or security. Not all interviewers asked me about my current work.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNegotiation experience was bad. Its difficult to get them to quote higher salaries because they have hard set ranges for different level. This is a problem when you are coming from a big or high-paying tech firm. You would most certainly have to go for a lower pay.Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview

I interviewed online. The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in January 2014.Interview Details
Pretty straight forward. I had a phone interview with the recruiter first and then later that week she scheduled an in person interview at the office. I interviewed with the recruiter again, then two team members, the manager, and the director (all 30min meetings back to back). I prepared well in advance of the interview so I was ready for 95% of the questions before they were asked.Interview Questions

- None really, but be prepared to answer the following:
- Application Details
I interviewed online. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in March 2014.Interview Details
Very thorough process that involved a phone screen, followed by an on-site interview with ~6 others. The on-site interview started with a small/simple paper exercise on basic programming questions. This appeared to be used to seed one of the interviews. The individual one-on-one sessions were done with talented folks from those fairly new to long term veterans of F5. Each interview was unique, but each seemed more of a collaborative investigation more than simple questions and answers. White board work and general talk through things was encouraged. Overall felt like a solid interview such that when I received the offer, I was sure that I would be a good fit.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThe whole process of moving to the offer was slowish and methodical as F5 takes hiring seriously in terms of budgeting and job fit. Negotiation was limited to relocation funds.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Questions weren't limited to my area of experience and some were more of a collaborative investigation with a subject matter expert. Working through questions about allocating tight structures and then manipulating them were challenging for on-the-spot work, but were actually fun in the end. Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed through other source. The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks.Interview Details
I was cold called off my LinkedIn profile then went through a phone screen. It was 2 algorithm questions followed up by general person questions and information about the job.
I was then flown out for an in person interview. They put me up in a pretty nice hotel within walking distance of the HQ where my interview was taking place. It started off with a written test covering java fundamentals as well as a short coding problem. I then had 7 back to back interviews that lasted the rest of the day. (Lunch was purchased for me by the boss of the team I was interviewing for and over lunch it was a very informal interview, mostly me asking questions about the job and the team and getting answers)
The interviews covered asking me to design a program on a whiteboard, code on a whiteboard covering data structures and algorithms, multi-threading, concurrency as well as being asked about SQL backend and databases. They hit as many bases as possible They interviewers were good with coaching and hints. They don't expect you to be perfect which is really nice. Overall I'd say I did really well on 2 of the interviews, good on 3 of the interviews, just ok on 1 and really bombed the last one at the end of the day but still got the offer.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsA little back and forth with HR. I was able to negotiate a higher salary. They also seemed to be interviewing for multiple levels of Software Engineer and allowed me to pick to be hired as a I or a II. I was able to get a verbal agreement on an offer about a week after the interview but it took them another few weeks to get that in writing. They had some issues with getting a relocation package ready they said. This put me off some but wasn't a big deal at the end of the day.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- How would you design an backend SQL database system for very large loads? (I have no database experience and my resume reflected this so this question really caught me off guard) Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 6+ weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in April 2014.Interview Details
HR called me, organised a quick telephonic conversation to brief the expectation of the role, followed by Hiring manager round of interview. Later I was called onsite for 7 round of interview with 2 development manager, 1 incident manager, 1 product manager, 1 program manager, 1 test manager and lastly hiring manager. I was offered a job where HR called to discuss the offer verbally followed by negotiations and the final offer was sent to me by email. F5 was quite open in date of joining based on my availability and moved fast in bringing me onboard. HR coordinator worked with me for joining formalities and great set of documents on F5 Reference guide, Background check and benefits packet was shared to make my onboarding smooth. On joining my office was setup with laptop, backpack and many goodiesInterview Questions
Negotiation DetailsOffer was quite competitive as compared to other offers I had in my hand from top companies in networking worldAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Your customer is too angry because previous solutions given, caused multiple other failures. How would you deal with this customer? Answer Question
- Application Details
I interviewed through an employee referral. The process took 2 months - interviewed at F5 Networks in May 2010.Interview Details
Better know F5 products well or show acumen to pick it up fast as it is complicated kit. Knowledge of enterprise SW, HW and data center workings key. This job is technical and the more your are the better you will succeed.Negotiation DetailsNot much to aim for here. It is ranged on experience. ask for preplanned vacation, signing bonus if you are leaving or their range does not fit you.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

So I accidently made another thread with chapter two I am going to repost it here.
Senior Member
Not bad!
I love Lee Sin. I'm curious as to why you chose to pair these two up. Do you have a reason in mind? Or would it spoil the story if you told me? :P
I'm glad you spaced out Chapter 2 to make it easier to read. I hope you do the same for Chapter 1. It's nigh undecipherable as it is. ^^;
On a side note, I happen to know for a fact that Sejauni's boar is named Kevin Tuggles. It's not a well-known fact, however, so I guess you can call him whatever you want. :P
Looking forward to more.
@ Ceru. She has in game chat thing of calling her boar Bristle or something of that nature if I remember correctly.
Augh...WoT too OP...hurts eyes...plz fix...
Besides that, GJ! I'm likin' it...although the dialogue is borken.
lol i investigated alot into that and i found that due to some sort of contest that im not really sure was it seems to be a concensus that the boars name is Kevin Tuggles. ill decide whether or not to change it by my next chapter
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Just keep it as Bristle. :P
Edit: Chapter 1 looks much better!
its great i love it. Although some immaturity does shine through in some parts. Its still a great read. I look forward to the next events. You should worry a little more on word choice. I am still very impressed with it.

This is great, but now I really want the story of Ezreal dating half the female champions.

According to the Jellico Police Department, first responders received a call about a brush fire around 3 p.m. Sunday around Indian Mountain Road and Falls Branch Lane. The fire happened on private property, but police say the homeowner was out of town at the time.
No injuries have been reported. Authorities also say no homes are threatened.
Firefighters from the Jellico Rescue Squad worked to contain the fire, but state forestry officials took over.
No word yet on what sparked the flames.

This hasn't led to a diplomatic setback for Israel? Someone obviously hasn't read facebook comments etc.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
It would be a bit premature to assess whether the yet-to-be-signed agreement with Hamas is good or bad for Israel or whether it will guarantee a lengthy period of calm for the residents of the south. The cease-fire is still fragile and the next few days will be crucial. However, it is possible to point out at this stage some winners and losers.

Game Room wins £2m Lost Planet 3 integrated brief
By Teresa Fitzherbert, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 14 January 2013 11:45AM
Capcom, the gaming company, has appointed the creative agency Game Room to handle the integrated marketing and advertising for the £2m launch of its video game title, 'Lost Planet 3'.
Game Room's work for 'Lost Planet 3' will include packaging design, an online and social media campaign, trailers, print, outdoor and TV advertising to be used across Europe and North America.
The game is set on a frozen and hostile alien planet and features a new lead character, Jim Peyton. It will launch on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC later this year but the exact date is yet to be announced.
Game Room was appointed to the brief after an international pitch against two unknown agencies.
A Capcom spokesperson said Game Room's strength was a "solid understanding of our strategic goals and most importantly an inspired overall creative concept".
Lau Glendinning, managing partner of Game Room, said this contract was a "key win" for the company and reflected "the value of our full-service offering and further cementing our expertise in the gaming sector".
Previous campaigns by Game Room, which was known as Front Room before re-launching in December 2012, include marketing pushes for Pro-Evolution Soccer, Crysis 2 and Sonic Generations.

Reported: Feb. 19, 2014 1:29 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A $400 million Powerball jackpot prize is up for grabs Wednesday night during a recent period when West Virginia lottery players have been on a hot streak.
Tickets for the Powerball must be purchased by 9:59 p.m.

We stayed at 4 different hostels/hotels while in Spain and this one was my least favorite. It was not the cheapest but it definitely has the least benefits. The rooms were the smallest of the 4 places we stayed in. There was no ventilation, so it felt stuffy. The bathroom had nothing, no blowdryer. Another hostel we stayed at was cheaper but had a more modern bathroom with blowdryer. I could also hear other guests in the other rooms. We stayed at 2 other hostels and 1 hotel in Spain and that was not the case in the other places.
The location was great, just maybe 2 blocks from the Ramblas. There are many other hostels and hotels around that location so I recommend researching your options carefully before picking this one. This was definitely the least comfortable of the 4 places we stayed at.

Watford were demoted after playing off against Brighton & Hove Albion 111 years ago today
5:30am Sunday 27th April 2014 in Sport
Monday, April 27, 1903
Having already finished second from bottom of the first division of the Southern League, Watford played Brighton & Hove Albion in a 'test match' at West Ham United to determine whether Brighton would replace Watford in the top division.
Having gone three goals behind, Watford pulled level only to lose the tie 5-3 and so relinquish their top-flight status.

Movie Info
A criminal scheme gone wrong is just the start of a string of life-threatening bad luck in this darkly comic thriller. David (Andy Serkis) and Peter (Reece Shearsmith) are a pair of second-rate criminals who are eager to make a big score and think they've come up with the formula for a perfect crime. David works for a wealthy local businessman named Arnie who dotes on his teenaged stepdaughter Tracey (Jennifer Ellison), and so with the help of Arnie's slacker son Andrew (Steven O'Donnell), he

Andy Serkis shouts a lot, as if raising the decibel level will compensate for the dire dialogue, while Jennifer Ellison displays more cleavage than acting ability.
The Cottage is a film that knows how to play to its strengths, namely making the most of its modest budget and not even attempting to break the B-movie glass ceiling.
'The Cottage' doesn't have enough horror to satisfy horror fans and not enough comedy to satisfy everybody else.
The degree to which the movie is redeemed by its impossible-to-anticipate third act is consequently quite staggering...
Broad comedy and splattery horror are a pretty tough combo to pull off, but if anyone can do it ... the British can.
It's a rural retreat to base jokes - and it needed to be a lot cleverer than this to make it a glorious retreat.
Nice performances from Shearsmith and Serkis, and some outrageous ketchupy grossout, though I have to say The Cottage has nothing like the rigour, originality or power of Williams's debut.
From the miasma of mediocrity known as modern British horror emerges a low-budget fright film that deserves to be remembered alongside homegrown classics such as Shaun Of The Dead.
This is cartoon carnage with a slightly surreal twist - most notably in Peter's encounter with a swarm of moths - but the developing bond between the brothers makes it surprisingly poignant too. All things considered, you'll forgive the shaky parts.
If you loved L2B's social-realist integrity, you'll be bemused by Williams' 180-degree turn into Guignol and gut-busting. A labour of love that's sometimes plain laboured, but a stronger, splattery second half will curry favour with gorehounds.
With all the meaty goodness of Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers, The Cottage offers solid Brit-horror nourishment.
Frightfest regulars and hungry gorehounds will get a kick out of this, but those who hailed Williams as a Brit-indie visionary after London To Brighton might be left scratching their heads.
Williams' story twists and turns...veering from Coen caper to Hooper horror -- but the one unifying constant is the film's wicked streak of humour.
Audience Reviews for The Cottage
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
I liked the first half of The Cottage more than the second. The initial half was fairly humorous, and gave off an enjoyably creepy vibe. I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of some vague threat, while gleefully cheering for Ellison's rather intimidating prisoner. Serkis was also in fine form, as his character struggled to salvage some kind of plan amidst the overwhelming incompetence of his cohorts.
The second half of the movie is basically a decidedly average slasher-film. Not awful, but nothing special. I found myself missing the humor of the first 40 minutes. Depending on your preference for that genre, you may end up liking The Cottage more than I did. It only came to my attention because of the presence of Jennifer Ellison, but I'm glad that I ended up seeing it.

Ecoregion Description
View global map
Species Richness
# of Endemic Species
806: Lake Eyre Basin
Major Habitat Type:
xeric freshwaters and endorheic (closed) basins
Peter Unmack
Michael Hammer, Evolutionary Biology Unit, South Australian Museum, Australia; Helen Larson, Curator of Fishes, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Australia
This ecoregion is largely defined by the boundaries of the
Drainages flowing into:
All drainage is endoheric (landlocked) and fails to reach the ocean.
Main rivers or other water bodies:
The major rivers are Cooper Creek, and the Diamantina,
Most of the ecoregion is covered by low elevation desert and sand dunes. However, parts of the Central and MacDonnell Ranges in the west, as well as the Torrens Ranges in the south, are included in this ecoregion.
The ecoregion grades from semi-arid in the north to arid in the south.
Freshwater habitats:
This ecoregion encompasses one massive—and formerly interconnected—river system covering over 1,677,000 square kilometers, or 21% of Australia (Wager and Unmack 2000).
Several rivers flow across the desert and reach the lake in years with high water levels. All rivers and creeks of this ecoregion are ephemeral with short periods of flow following rain and extended periods of no flow. Braided channels, floodplains, waterholes, salt lakes, and wetlands characterize the freshwater systems of this ecoregion. The braided watercourses that often extend across large flat floodplains in western Queensland are referred to locally as "Channel Country." The ecoregion also overlies much of the
Terrestrial Habitats:
Grasslands, deserts, and open woodlands are the major vegetation types found in this diverse region. The Simpson and
Fish Fauna:
Thirty-three freshwater fishes from 11 families are known from this ecoregion. The family Eleotridae (gudgeons or sleepers) has seven representatives, Gobiidae (gobies) has six species, Atherinidae (silversides or hardyheads) and Plotosidae (eel-tailed catfishes) have five species while Terapontidae (grunters) has four species. The remaining six families have single representatives. This ecoregion consists of a mix of species (many with northern origins), but several groups likely have southern or eastern origins such as Retropinna (smelt), some Craterocephalus (hardyhead), Macquaria (golden perch), and Bidyanus (silver perch).
Description of endemic fishes:
Two monotypic genera—Neosiluroides and Scaturiginichthys—are endemic, and both have particularly restricted ranges. The Finke River contains two endemic species, a hardyhead (Craterocephalus centralis) and a goby (Chlamydogobius japalpa). Nineteen species out of 33 (58%) in the ecoregion are considered endemic. Eight of those species live in small, highly restricted spring-fed environments.
Other noteworthy aquatic biotic elements:
There appear to be relatively few invertebrate groups that are endemic to the rivers in the province, but a large number of species are endemic to the numerous springs across the basin (Ponder 2004). These include many species of hybrobiid snails, amphipods, ostracods, isopods, and others (Ponder 2004) as well as the shrimp Caridina thermophila—which is endemic to the Barcaldine spring group in Queensland (Riek 1953).
Ecological phenomena:
Due to the extreme aridity of this province, many species appear to have exceptional dispersal qualities in order to be able to recolonize areas following droughts. Several fishes within Dalhousie Springs have exceptionally high temperature tolerances, with Neosilurus gloveri, (Dalhousie catfish), Craterocephalus dalhousiensis (Dalhousie hardyhead), and Chlamydogobius gloveri (Dalhousie goby) all naturally occurring in minimum temperatures of 40oC (Glover 1989; Wager & Unmack 2000). Chlamydogobius eremius (desert goby) can also can live at temperatures as high as 40oC (Glover 1973) as most species in this genus are able to do. Several species also have high salinity tolerances; Glover reported Chlamydogobius eremius tolerates up to 60ppt, while Craterocephalus eyresii (Lake Eyre hardyhead) has been recorded up to 110ppt (Glover 1982). Two species in Edgbaston Springs, Scaturiginichthys vermeilipinnis (redfinned blue-eye) and Chlamydogobius squamigenus (Edgbaston goby) likely experience extreme variations in temperature in summer. Water temperatures have been recorded to vary over 20oC in 3-4 hours (Wager & Unmack 2000).
Evolutionary phenomena:
The endemic Neosiluroides cooperensis (Cooper Creek catfish) is an evolutionary oddity. It has the lowest fecundity per unit body size of any central Australian fish. Few (or no) individuals less than 15 cm have ever been collected. It has exceptional eye sight, yet it lives in permanent, extreme turbidity with almost no visibility (Unmack 1996). The occurrence of the pseudomugilid species, Scaturiginichtys vermeilipinnis, is unusual in that all other species in this family usually live in lowland areas close to the ocean. Some other species appear to have speciated within the province in response to isolation by aridification, especially in the genera Mogurnda and Chlamydogobius.
Justification for delineation:
The Barkly Tablelands, Lake Eyre, Bulloo-Bancannia, and Lake Torrens basins have high faunal similarity and thus have been combined into the Lake Eyre Basin ecoregion. This entire area is isolated by drainage divides.
Level of taxonomic exploration:
Overal taxonomic exploration is good, with aspects of the fauna being relatively well known. However, a number of taxonomic problems remain in regards to the taxonomic status of Retropinna semoni, the Australian smelt (Wager & Unmack 2000; Hammer et al. 2007), one Mogurnda population (M. Adams pers. comm.), and within Hypseleotris (Thacker et al. 2007). Populations of Macquaria ambigua (golden perch) are also considered distinct, but remain undescribed (Musyl & Keenan 1992).

Opening arguments are set to begin Tuesday morning in the murder trial of Kyle Dougherty, a Bibb County man accused in a 2012 shotgun slaying at an abandoned house in Monroe County.
Jury selection in the case concluded Monday afternoon in Monroe Superior Court.
Dougherty, 23, and a longtime friend have been accused in the Jan. 27, 2012, killing of Trevious Thomas, a 21-year-old from Macon.
Doughertys friend, Stephen Lober, 22, pleaded guilty last fall to his role in the slaying.
Authorities say the two Rutland High School graduates, both Eagle Scouts, conspired to lure Thomas to a dilapidated house along Zebulon Road in southern Monroe County.
The pairs plan was to trick Thomas into thinking they were going to sell him marijuana, then rob him at the secluded, ramshackle house, investigators have said.
Thomas body was found four days later when Dougherty led Bibb sheriffs investigators to it.
Dougherty, who is out of jail on bond, faces nine charges in all, including murder, armed robbery and concealing a death.
Lober, who pleaded guilty to felony murder in November, was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Hepaticoduodenostomy in Hepatectomy for Perihilarcholangiocarcinoma: A Preliminary Report.
Austin Journal of Surgery
Abstract: A Roux-en-Y anastomosis fashioned from the jejunum (i.e., hepaticojejunostomy) is usually used to reconstruct the biliary system in hepatectomy. In this study, we review our experience with hepaticoduodenostomy (HD) as an alternative to Roux-en-Y biliary anastomosis in patients undergoing hepatectomy for perihilarcholangiocarcinoma, report our preliminary findings in 2 patients, and speculate on future applications.

I like the fact that this is a self sharpening pencil, so you never waste any of the product. It has great staying power on my lids and doesn't smudge at all there BUT I give this four lippies because its horrible to use on the water line - it just doesn't last more than an hour before it starts to fade or have interruptions in the line. I would recommend this for good staying eyelid eyeliner, but not for use on the water line.
More reviews by smushyellowman
Because I spend 8 hours in school and have very minimal time to fix my makeup, I needed eyeliner with great staying power.
The lady at the MAC counter told me this wouldn't smudge and I found it to be well pigmented and smooth enough to glide effortlessly onto my eyelids. It was a bit more expensive than the usualy drugstore stuff, but i bought it anyhoo.
8 hours of school later, I looked like a hot raccoon mess.
I really love this eyeliner. It stays on my water and type line much longer than anything else iv tried. It is also very pigmented and not overly priced.
It smudges easily and the staying power is not that great. It took me a few try to make the color show. Also, it breaks a lot... I would definitely NOT recommend this for lining your lower waterline with. I don't really like it. MAC's gel liners are much more reliable. Try that!
On the bright side, I guess it's really black?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my ultimate eye liner!! Most eyeliners I've tried smudged and leave me with panda eyes but this fabulous little gem just stays where it should be! I've only used it on my top lids and I'm going to try it on my waterline. It's a true intense black and application is a breeze. No messy sharpeners! If you're looking for a waterproof liner that doesn't change color on your lids, this is it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stays on my waterline longer than most liners, for at least 3-4 hours, and then some of it moves down to my lash line. The biggest pro is that it doesn't give me raccoon eyes and the liner never flows down below my lash line.
I'm quite satisfied with this product because almost all kohl liners give me raccoon eyes and never stay longer than 30 minutes. This product does quite well given that my lids tend to get oily, and that I live in a very hot and humid place.
Will probably buy it again, unless I find something that work better!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was a go-to for me for ages before I got the hang of MAC Fluidlines. I'm not really sure why though, there's plenty of better pencil-style black liners out there. Graphblack has nice pigmentation and goes on smoothly, but it has very little staying power. Over the course of the day, it transfers to my crease and worse, it migrates to under my eyes where it settle into fine lines. Not cool.
However, I've found it works fairly well for tightlining. I'll use my current one up that way, but once it's gone, I won't repurchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Smudges like crazy. Powerpoint in Graphic Black is much better. This stuff is awful!
yesss i liked this eyeliner only problem is that it gets used up toooooo fast =(
Did not like this eyeliner. It smudged a lot, on my waterline it was horrendous I had racoon eyes by the end of the evening. Overall, I would not recommend this eyeliner I would rather spend some extra money and by the UD 24/7 liner.
