Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at SoftLayer in November 2014.Interview Details
Applied and took about 2 months, got an email and scheduled an interview. Interview was a 20 min Behavioral one with easy questions. They stressed that the job will be a hectic one with new projects occurring one after the other.Interview Questions
No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
- No difficult question in the first screen. Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at SoftLayer in June 2014.Interview Details
I applied on the official IBM website and got a voicemail on my phone three weeks later stating I am a potential candidate for the position. I scheduled an appointment one week later.
They ask the normal top 10 questions with the remaining time allocated for questions of your own for the interviewer. They explained how the business operated along with a typical workday during the interview.
Keep in mind that this position is an entry level position so pay may not be as high as you anticipate, but the job has a lot of capacity for learning new things. My impression was that this is a great place for growth as a new graduate into the workforce.
Soon after the interview, they conduct some background checks based on another application you have to fill out. Another couple of weeks of waiting after submission, I received an offer.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- What do you know about this company? Answer Question
Shift hours not to my liking. Cannot change once your preference is submitted during the interview. When offered the position, I was told I could not change to a different shift, but the option may be open down the line.Declined OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at SoftLayer.Interview Details
I was approached by the HR recruiter for a position from this company in Linkedin. Then there was a phone interview and an in-person interview. They seemed very friendly and exhibited very cool personality and work culture seemed very laid back. This is a very promising company that was purchased by IBM in 2013. The interview was fairly technical and they seems to be interested in recruiting technically strong candidates.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThis was the only concern I have. They are offering 15000 less than the average market salary. I was hoping they would give a nice pay as they are NOW AN IBM COMPANY. But I did not negotiate as this is in Ideal location for me right next to my home and Dallas cost of living is considerably low and the job profile is very very interesting.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

Got my call back for an interview about 6 months after applying completely out of the blue. Just one 20 minute interview with the Site Manager at the time. Very laid back interview, he was more interested in talking about my computer and gaming hobbies than anything related to the work or my technical background. It was in and out, and pretty unlike any interview I have done. Didn't hear a thing from them for about a month then again out of the blue got a call with the job offer.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a day – interviewed at SoftLayer in September 2011.Interview Details
The interview process was very lax. You will enter the front where security will stop you and make you wait for who ever called you. You will be given a temporary badge and taken on a short tour and offered an energy drink. There are confrence rooms upstairs where the interview will take place. 1 or 2 people will interview you. The questions will be right out of any top 20 interview questions list. You will be asked if you have any questions. I suggest asking about salary and benifits because they are not mentioned in their interview process. Good luck and GOD bless.Interview Questions

text: The Sabres two first round picks from the 2013 NHL Entry Draft received accolades today for their performances in the 2014 World Junior Championships, each being named to the tournament's all-star team. Ristolainen also made a name for himself in today's gold-medal game, scoring a beauty of a goal halfway through overtime to win the Championship for Finland over host Sweden 3-2. Ristolainen finished the tournament with 3 points, all goals, in six games. Meanwhile, Nikita Zadorov helped Russia win the bronze medal in the tournament, as they beat Canada by a score of 2-1, marking the first time in 30 years that Canada went more than a year without medaling in the tournament. The game was a re-match of last year's bronze medal game, where Russia defeated the Canadians 6-5. Zadorov finished the tournament with 4 goals and 5 points in 7 games played in the tournament. Zadorov will now go back to London to finish off the season in the OHL. Meanwhile, Rasmus Ristolainen will return to the Rochester Americans to continue his development.

Aldersyde man brings magic to the skies
Business: WestJet employee contributes to design behind magic plane
By: Tammy Rollie
| Posted: Wednesday, Jan 08, 2014 08:33 am
An Aldersyde man never expected his school art classes would lead to a top-secret project that would turn heads on North American runways.
Curtis Rowland's art skills were put to the test when he was commissioned to design a Disney image on the exterior of a Boeing Next-Generation 737 in a partnership between WestJet and Walt Disney Parks & Resorts last year.
Rowland works in WestJet's creative services department in Calgary and was assigned to design the Magic Plane last year, but the design was to remain hush hush until the unveiling last month.
"It was pretty top secret," he said. "There was a lot of effort into keeping it a secret."
Rowland said his love for drawing began in art class at Okotoks Junior High School and continued in his visual communications class at Foothills Composite High School. Following high school he enrolled in a fine arts class at the University of Lethbridge and a graphic and web design class at SAIT.
WestJet then hired Rowland as a graphic designer.
"I was always in the art classes and never thought it would end up as a career," he said. "It's neat to take something that started as a hobby and actually ended up in some kind of career type format."
Rowland and a coworker were flown to Disney World in Orlando to study images throughout the park to gather the ideas for the drawing.
The project was in addition to his existing work, therefore, Rowland worked on the Disney design on evenings and weekends and had just two weeks to come up with a final product.
"I sat down with a flat outline of the plane and sketched a bunch of different options," he said. "I started with five and narrowed it down to three. When you go in with several concepts you always have one that you have an idea that they would like, one that's a little bit out there and one that's in the middle."
Rowland's drawings went back and forth between the WestJet executives and Disney team before they agreed on a final image.
"It definitely changed based on feedback," he said. "The one they chose was quite iconic of Disney. They really wanted Mickey to be front and centre."
Rowland chose the tail of the plane, the largest flat surface area, to locate the image of Mickey Mouse, with magical stars shooting from the mouse's hand across the body of the plane.
"Having the magic curling itself around the plane was something we really wanted to get in there," he said.
The custom-paint job was completed near Seattle and WestJet staff got together for the unveiling at the WestJet hangar in Calgary on Dec. 2.
"Everyone knew there was a plane being worked on," he said. "We really tried to keep what the design was a secret. When they had the big unveiling ceremony it was a pretty good feeling to see everyone so excited. Just to see something you worked on that scale is neat."
Rowland said the project took dozens of people and he feels lucky to be a part of it.
"It is neat to see something that you helped with flying around out there," he said. "It's neat to see the reaction of kids and adults. We knew that kids would get pretty excited about it but we were surprised at how many adult Disney enthusiasts there are. People tend to get excited about air flight in general and even more when Disney is involved."
Although the plane does represent Disney, Rowland said its flight path isn't just from Calgary to Orlando. It will be part of the WestJet circuit.
"It's just like any other plane," he said. "It's all over the network."

A Fraction Finding Mission Lesson Plan
Description: A Fraction Finding Mission project is an individual activity that stresses problem solving and critical thinking as applied to operations between rational numbers.

Introduction: A Fraction Finding Mission project is an individual activity that stresses problem solving and critical thinking as applied to operations between rational numbers. Timing: This activity requires 90 minutes of class time to complete. Break it up over two, maybe three periods. Some of the project can be assigned for homework. Getting the math component done in class will allow students to focus on the creative component at home and will reduce the chance that students will get too far off base with the mathematical side of the project. Group Size: Individual Learning Objectives: The objective of this activity is to: a) Review rational numbers and operations between various forms of rational numbers (mixed fractions, improper fractions, and normal fractions) b) Develop problem solving and critical thinking skills c) Integrate a creative component into a traditional math lesson Guiding Questions: How can you use various forms of rational numbers be combined to create a sequence of integers? Materials: Colored poster paper, markers, scissors, and other random art supplies. Photocopy enough activity sheets for each student. Procedures: Read through the opening sections as a class. This is an individual activity, so students may have varying levels of competence with operations between rational numbers, so they may need different amounts of support. The multiplication and division component of lab is challenging, so take your time explaining them and do multiple examples. This activity requires students to create the integers between -10 and 10 using two rational numbers and an operation. Negative and positive rational numbers, each of the four operations (+, -, ¸, ·), and the different types of rational numbers (regular fractions, improper fractions and mixed fractions) must be used equally. The art aspect of this project is pretty wide open. Their original rational numbers and the operation just need to be presented in some creative way on the poster. Students should focus on getting their rational numbers and operations completed before focusing on the design component. Students can present their A Fraction Finding Mission project in a variety of ways. I have included the number line and bingo board options in case students struggle with a create way to present their results. Make sure students record their original rational numbers, operations, and work in the table provided. This is where their fractions will actually be graded for correctness. Their poster will only be assessed for creativity and neatness. Make sure student understand the use of the rubric and know that they must score themselves before the project is turned it. The extra point is given with the idea that if anyone matches my score, they must of used the rubric properly. The same goes for taking the point. If they over-scored themselves by four points, they probably did not follow the rubric. Assessment: A Fraction Finding Mission project should be graded based on the rubric included in the activity sheet Answer Key: Each student's Fraction Finding Mission project will be different, so an answer key would be of no use.

Ah, new year…new resolve to dive deep into the TBR for the multi-blog TBR Challenge. This month we're easing in with short reads (novellas, category books, etc..) and so I went pulled out 2004 release In Like Flynn from Harlequin's now-defunct Flipside line. I didn't remember having this book, but as soon as I saw the author's name I knew immediately why I would have picked it up. Dorien Kelly is the author of Do-Over, which is to this day one of my very favorite lawyer romances. Most romances involving the law center on criminal practice, but I've always worked in the civil realm and Do-Over a pitch perfect portrayal of what life in a sizable corporate firm is like. Short on glamor, long on drudgery and intense politics.
With this book, Kelly turns her focus to life in a family-run restaurant chain. Annie Rutherford comes from an overachieving family and while she has an MBA, she's still the black sheep as she works for a pizza chain in Ann Arbor rather than a silk-stocking investment firm or something of that nature. Annie dreams of showing the owner of the chain how to make it into a franchise, but Mr. Donovan has other ideas – he wants to create an Irish pub like one he enjoyed on vacation. Continue reading

I'm posting this article because at it's core, this is what relationships are all about. It's not about YOU it's about YOU AS A COUPLE.
There's a huge overuse of the word "crazy" in our culture. "My crazy ex-boyfriend, don't even get me started," or "my mother is twelve kinds of crazy" or "that girl I've been dating? Turns out she's batsh*t crazy." We toss the word around like a frisbee on Labor Day.
The thing is, very few people are actually crazy. According to medical research, only around 4% of the population actually has a diagnosable mental disorder. "Yeah," you're probably saying, "the other 96% aren't in my dating pool." Still, given that there are 350 million people in the U.S., if you do the math (and you know I'm serious about this if I'm doing math) it means your chances of actually meeting a certifiable nutcase is like 1 in 100 gazillion, or something. So are we all just deluded about the definition of crazy? Or is there some other explanation?
Yes: Relationships drive people crazy.
To make it worse, we're all swimming in relationships, for the majority of our lives. Human beings are inherently gregarious — hell, we die if left in solitude. So even if you're the world's biggest recluse, you're in a relationship with someone. Your mother. Your FedEx guy. Maybe your dog. And if that relationship goes badly, it will have a negative impact on your life.
The good news: since your life (and mine! And everyone else's!) is nothing but a gurgling stew pot of messy relationships, you have plenty of practice material, and lots of time to perfect your technique.
The bad news: relationships are friggin' hard.
Here are 5 truths about relationships that no one ever tells you. Granted, these only apply to WORKING relationships. The old trope really is true — happy relationships are all the same, but every miserable one is miserable in its own way. You can find 10,000 ways to be dysfunctional, but if you want any kind of happiness, the same principles always apply. So here goes.
1) Your relationship is not about you.
In the sliver of my college education that wasn't drowned in cheese-covered breadsticks and booze, I recall an Intro to Philosophy course. Specifically, there was a lesson about the metaphysics of individual perception. Boiled down, it's nearly impossible to see things from anywhere other than your own point of view. Try it — you'll fail. No matter how hard you work to get out, you're still inside your own head, burdened with thoughts and opinions and judgments and hurts that are not clearly visible to anyone else.
Given this human limitation, it's nearly impossible not to think about ourselves constantly. We make valiant gestures at unselfishness and altruism, but at the end of the day we're still selfish bastards. "Me" and "I" are ingrained in our heads, since we have no other context for living.
Unfortunately, getting as skilled as possible at seeing beyond the "me" and "I" is just about the only way to have functional relationships. The reason for this is simple: the relationship is not about you. More specifically, it is not about your thoughts and needs and opinions. It's about caring for and meeting someone else's.
Case in point: It's a rainy Wednesday night, and you're tired. You stumble home in soggy clothes, and low blood sugar is urging your brain to screech at the first individual unlucky enough to plant himself in front of you. That poor soul turns out to be your husband. Too bad! It's not about you. At no point did this other person sign up for "absorbing all your repressed anger on weeknights." In order to have any chance at a pleasant evening (for him, and yourself) you have to give up the "me" and hear about HIS day, his thoughts, his opinions, and whatever the hell else comes out of his mouth.
Another way to say it is "don't expect to have someone who always tends to your needs." (You may GET someone who always tends to your needs, but that doesn't mean you should EXPECT it.) The purpose of the relationship cannot be for you to declare what you want and then extract it by whatever means necessary. If it IS about you taking what you want from this other person — be it a lover, spouse, parent, basically anyone but your dog — then it's not going to work. The other person will wind up feeling like sh*t, you'll wind up feeling like even more sh*t, and no one is happy.
The trick is to just get over the whole "me" thing as much as possible, on a ceaseless basis. Simple, right? Not at all. Which is why 99.99999% of relationships wind up resembling a mash-up of 2012 and Armageddon.
NOTE: This does not mean "Give up your identity and shut off your own needs in an attempt at relationship martyrdom." No one is advocating being a doormat, or pretending that you don't have needs in order to keep the peace. In a way, shutting off means you're still extracting what you want from the other person — by creating a fantasy, and never letting him/her know the real you.
2) You are 100% responsible for your relationship.
Guess what! Not only is the relationship not about you, but you're also totally responsible for it! Sweet! What does this mean? For one, it means that when your partner does something that makes every cell in your body swell to bursting with liquid rage, it is your responsibility to deal with your anger, and resolve the situation. Every time.
Let's break it down. You planned a romantic evening. You scrimped and saved to pay for it, busted your butt to get the impossible reservation, worked all weekend to make sure you have the entire evening free, bought a new outfit, and plucked every stray hair from your epidermis to guarantee the night is special. And then that UNGRATEFUL $#&@ SHOWS UP 30 MINUTES LATE, DECIDES HE'S TIRED, AND WANTS TO LEAVE AFTER THE APPETIZER!!
So what do you do?
Well, you be responsible. You recognize that right now, you have a choice — to be mad enough to melt his nose hairs with your glare, or not. No one is forcing you to scream and yell, or coldly seethe while preparing revenge, or bring up that time when his boss tried to grab your ass. It's all up to you.
And if you want to make the choice that will have the relationship continue, you shove the "me" conversation aside (remember that damned "me" rule?) using a bulldozer if necessary. You explain to your partner in a kind, shriek-free way that you'd hoped the evening would go a different way. You communicate your point of view. You hear out his perspective, without interruption, and find a resolution (reschedule? Have him plan the evening next time?). And then you let it go.
Or, if it's a situation that has happened 3,000 times already and he never once respects your side, you say goodbye. But breakups are fodder for another column.
3) You can either be right… or be happy.
My Great Aunt told me this once, and the foolish twenty-something that I was, I brushed her off. Oh silly Great Aunt — what an antiquated notion!
Nope — the dame was dead on. You will fight. You will disagree. If you don't, you are robot automatons who must be vanquished with laser guns. These fights will all, without exception, come down to a single question: Who is right, and who is wrong.
Guess what! You're not right! Or maybe you are- – but you're still not, if you want the relationship to continue. Think about it: What do you get from being right, and having him/her admit it? You get a momentary thrill of superiority followed by hours of surly resentful spouse. And after around 2,000 of these, you get marriage counseling (or divorce papers).
So there you have it: when you're right, you lose. Meaning that when you're wrong, you actually win!
4) Your partner is exactly who she/he is right now, and will never be anybody else.
God your boyfriend is great. He's so smart he can recite pi to the 500th digit. He's so handsome he melts the wings off canaries and so charismatic he charms maximum-security inmates with the force of his smile. In fact, he'd be stone-cold perfect IF ONLY HE'D CHANGE THIS ONE ASPECT OF HIS PERSONALITY THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO MURDER BABIES AAAGGGHHH!!!
Guess what: He won't change. Either accept him exactly as he is (and continue accepting him every day 'til the zombie apocalypse) or bid him adieu. Once again, it's your choice – so choose.
5) If your relationship with yourself isn't working, don't expect your other relationships to be any different.
I know. It sucks that this is true. When a relationship goes bad (or when anything goes bad, for that matter), it's so tempting to beat up on yourself and ask a million questions about what you did wrong and suffer in exquisite agony over why he dumped you and scream at the moon "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME WHY AM I SUCH A DEFECTIVE CLUMP OF CARBON MATTER!!!!!!"
But I can tell you right now: There's nothing wrong with you. Or, at least, there's nothing more wrong with you than any of the things wrong with me, or your partner, or any other human being roaming the earth. So halt the self-inflicted suffering whenever you can (it's like a reflex, I know) and be kind to yourself. Loving, even. Think about how awesome you are. Take loving care of yourself. Because if you do, you'll get good at meeting your own needs — and that'll be a massive help when it comes time to hear out the needs of someone wonderful and new. Since after all, the next relationship's not about you either.
Back when we lived in California, I had a friend named Autumn. She was TG and awesome – fun to be around, friendly, and sweet. She'd been through some crap with her family not accepting her in the past but right before I had my son things in that dept were starting to look up for her. I was so, so happy for her.
Then I had my baby and, for unknown reasons, never spoke to Autumn again.
I tried. God/s/ess/whatever knows that I tried. I sent her emails and phone calls (until her number changed), and posted on her facebook and left messages. No response. It was as if Autumn had dropped off the face of the earth… except that I saw her on AIM every now and then and I'd *poke* her to show I was online and wanted to talk if she had time. Sometimes that little "…" would appear and AIM would inform me that Autumn was typing. But no answer ever came.
This happened over a year ago and I'm still bewildered and confused and hurt. I know that I may have hurt Autumn's feelings on the day my son was born – I asked her to be with me in the birthing room, but that was back before I knew my son was breech, back before they forced me into a c-section I would have done anything to get out of, back before I knew that the only one allowed in the surgery would be my husband. I learned later, through the very last phone call I had with Autumn, that she'd taken her last day off to be with me and my husband never called her to let her know that I was done with surgery.
Now, in my husband's defense, he didn't call ANYONE. Not my mother or sisters waiting anxiously in KS. Not my friends in KS, not my friends in CA. No one. He was too gobsmacked by the stress of the morning, of watching me nearly lose it on the surgery table, and when they almost had to slap an oxygen mask on my face because my almost-pneumonia (which, btw, had kept me out of surgery for a WEEK already) almost drowned me in my own mucus thanks to the angle the table was at while they were sewing me back up.
But I can get why, if that is the reason, why she would be mad. I was too doped up and sick and wrapped up in my new baby and the utter terror of being a new mother to properly apologize and make it up to her. And by time the three-month-hell mark had passed, and I was starting to get more than 30 minutes of sleep at a time, we were preparing to move back to KS. I had next to no time to hunt her down and apologize. Hell, in the time I knew her she'd changed apts three times, so I had NO CLUE where she was or I would've gone to her door to bring her flowers and dark chocolate and hugs myself.
Other times I think the reason she quit talking to me was because Melly made me take down the FB page supporting this site. I wasn't allowed to link it to my REAL facebook account because he didn't want nosy people to link the two, especially once my books started selling. And I can understand that. It was important to him, so I resigned as admin to the page and signed Autumn up as admin instead. There were maybe 3 "fans" and she never mentioned it so I figured it was okay. But looking back, maybe it wasn't okay. Maybe she felt like I was passing judgment or something. I wasn't, obviously, but I never talked about it. I never even thought to explain simply because there was Nothing To Do on the page. No one cared about it, honestly. I mean, hell, who am I? Nobody.
Ultimately, I don't know what I did to make my friend drop me. Maybe I said the wrong thing. Maybe she felt like I dropped her first because I vanished into baby-haze and didn't reappear until it was nearly too late. Maybe she was just busy. All I know is that, inexplicably, I lost a person I considered a good friend, and I feel the worse for it.
So, Autumn, if you ever wander back this way… I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever I did. I'm sorry that we don't talk anymore. And if it isn't something I did, if maybe you feel like it'd just be weird and awkward to call me now, that too much time has passed, but you do sort of want to reconnect, please, please, call/email/msg anyway. Because it's never too late.
And I miss you.
Just a word of advice, folks. I don't care if you've been crossdressing for decades or days – if you decide to take a break and then you suddenly pick up again, don't be upset when you get shot down for nookie if your timing is awful.
For example – my house is a wreck. My kid is a toddler – an adventurous, climbing-on-everything-saying-NO-AllTheTime, tantrum-throwing toddler. I am pregnant and hairy and nauseous and fat. I haven't had time to dye my hair in MONTHS. I'm working on TWO BOOKS simultaneously while being a stay-at-home-mom AND juggling all the cooking/housework/etc.
Interrupting me during the VERY little relaxation time I have in a day because you suddenly want nookie due to picking up your dressing again?
Just… no.
Timing, ladies and gentlemen. Timing is everything.
That is all.
Currently Melly is going through a purging period, which I why I haven't been blogging lately. It's always hard to watch this cycle – not just because you know where it's going to go because you've ridden this rodeo before, not just once but over and over again, but mostly because you feel helpless.
A little angry.
More than a little sad.
And, if you're still early on in the relationship and maybe you're holding out some hope that he means it and THIS TIME he really won't put that skirt on again, a little optimistic hope.
Me? No hope. Frustration? Yes. Sadness? Yes. Helplessness? Hell yes.
I don't know what triggered this one. We haven't been through a purge in a long, long time. Hell, every time Melly purges I usually just wait until the night before the garbage men come and then go rooting through the trash to see if I can salvage the favorites. The last time I didn't even bother going that far, I just snagged the trash that very night, grabbed out the clothing, and threw it in the washer. When it was Summer's Eve Douche-fresh, I folded it and stored it.
Because I knew.
I knew it wouldn't last.
I knew she'd regret it.
Also? I believe I've mentioned how cheap-err, FRUGAL – we are in this house. And I'd be damned if she threw out clothing I'd MAIM to wear – adorable tops and slinky skirts and a really, really nice perky bra – just because she's having… I don't know… a temper tantrum?
That's what it looks like, isn't it?
It looks like a temper tantrum or some kind of over-the-top Teen Angstfest.
It's not, of course. It may seem that way, but it's not. It's your beloved struggling with who they are. And while a lot of men have a crisis of self in their teens and again somewhere in their 40′s, ours just tick a little faster than that. Which makes sense, considering the fact that they're juggling two people inside that one skin… the person they are to the world and the person they want the world to be able to see, but generally think/know that they can't express.
Imagine being in those shoes. Imagine the intense love-hate of your teenage years and strip away the confidence growing up and being a self-sustaining adult gives you. That's where they are in regards to binging and purging. They want one thing, society tells them they can't have it, so – for a variety of reasons – they do what they think is best either out of frustration or fear or anger or even love.
Yes, love.
If your CD is throwing away his girl clothing because he's afraid you'll leave if he doesn't, I've got one thing to say. Stop him. Because it's unfair to him. It really is. He's doing it out of love and you're going to, what? Accept that? That's very nice on paper and in the movies – grand gestures, I mean – but they never last very long and all they do is breed resentment. Trust me on this one. No one will be happy in the long run, especially not you if you find out he threw out all his clothes five years ago and has been keeping a secret stash in the house for the last three.
He will. He'll hate himself for it, he'll feel guilty and terrible… but he'll still, eventually, buy something and then he'll hide it from you. It's better that's aboveboard. It's better that you know about it, that you can deal with it, that you can learn to accept it or not, on the terms that your relationship is comfortable with.
Take it from me.
It's better that way.

Tech Trends to Watch in 2008
Editor's note: This is Part 1 or a two-part series. Check back next week for Part 2.
Fact: Over the last 12 months, TheStreet.com's Internet index of 21 leading technology stocks has risen 16%, significantly outperforming the 4% appreciation for the Dow Jones Total Market Index.
Fact: The three hottest stocks in this Internet index have been: Amazon (AMZN), up 146%, Research In Motion (RIMM), up 141%, and VeriSign (VRSN), up 56% for the last 12 months.
Fact: Believe it or not -- Internet stocks can decrease in price. The three worst performing stocks in the index, Monster (MNST), Avocent (AVCT) and Interactive (IACI), actually lost 23% of their value during the same period.What explains the difference? If you believe McKinsey's just-published article in its quarterly, "Eight business technology trends to watch," the answer is simple. Winning companies don't just use technology; they create new ways of doing business. In the spirit of stirring up dialog about which are the best stocks for 2008, here are the eight trends as outlined in the McKinsey article and my comments on near-term valuations for Internet stocks: The first four trends fall under the theme of managing relationships. 1) Distributing co-creation. According to McKinsey, the Internet and related technologies can give companies radical new ways to harvest the talents of innovators working outside corporate boundaries. This trend refers to the way companies co-create with partners and strive to be more productive.

2011 Enterprise Green Communities Criteria
The Criteria was developed collaboratively by Enterprise with leading national organizations and experts to:
- Provide a clear, cost-effective framework for all affordable housing development types in any location in the country, including new construction and rehabilitation in multifamily as well as single-family buildings.
- Deliver significant health, economic and environmental benefits to low-income families.
Projects meeting the 2011 Criteria can register at the link to achieve Enterprise Green Communities Certification.
|The Criteria are grouped into the following categories:
2011 Enterprise Green Communities Criteria Updates
November 13, 2014
Enterprise Green Communities 5.1a & 5.1c Building Performance Standard: Sampling Guidance: New Construction and Rehab projects: (Single-Family and Multifamily, three stories or fewer)
In lieu of submitting HERS documentation for every dwelling unit in a given development, project teams may choose to verify compliance with Criterion 5.1a and/or Criterion 5.1c through a sampling protocol aligned with RESNET guidance. Project teams choosing this sampling route should follow the Enterprise Green Communities 5.1a & 5.1c Building Performance Standard: Sampling Guidance.
May 7, 2014
5.5a Efficient Lighting: Interior Units – Alternative Compliance Pathway for Substantial and Moderate Rehab Projects Only
Regardless of fixture type, 90% of light bulbs in the building interior should be ENERGY STAR-labeled compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
December 12, 2013
5.1b Building Performance Standard (New Construction: Multifamily buildings, four stories or more): Garage Heating Guidance in heating dominated climates.
September 21, 2012
5.1a Building Performance Standard: Additional Guidance
Projects certifying under the ENERGY STAR New Homes Version 3 program per Criteria 5.1a, will be allowed to request an exemption to using an EPA H-QITO (HVAC Quality Installation Training and Oversight Organization) approved HVAC contractor. Requests should be submitted in the online Certification Portal under waiver requests, and will be reviewed on a one-off basis.
5.1b Building Performance Standard: Alternative Compliance Pathway for New Construction Projects Four Stories or More
Enterprise Green Communities is now accepting the LEED for Homes Multifamily Midrise Alternative Compliance Path as an alternative pathway to certifying under the ENERGY STAR Multifamily High-Rise Program per Criterion 5.1b. Projects that choose to follow the LEED pathway will be required to submit additional documentation at the step 2, post-build review.
7.8 Combustion Equipment:Language Clarification
The language in the first paragraph of the "Requirements" section of Criterion 7.8 has been updated to state the following: "Specify power-vented or direct vent equipment when installing new space and waterheating equipment in New Construction and any Substantial and Moderate Rehab projects."
October 1, 2011
Building Performance Standard 5.1c: Guidelines for Moderate and Substantial Rehab Projects Addendum
Single family and low-rise multifamily brick / masonry buildings built prior to 1980 using the 2011 Criteria have had difficulty achieving a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index of 85, as required by Enterprise Green Communities mandatory criterion 5.1c, without undertaking drastic renovations to the building envelope that are unfeasible under the project scope and budget. In response, Enterprise has developed an alternative compliance pathway for eligible projects.

Kids aren't paying attention most of the time in science classes so it seems silly to get worked up over ID being taught in schools.
Miss got hit pretty hard with tornadoes last night. Old Miss campus got it pretty good also. ..
According to wiki, Mississippi is the poorest state in the US but also has the lowest cost of living. If there is government assistance the total amount may not be as high compared to a more well off area. I've been to Mississippi once, the people I talked to were nice folks. I hope that their state officials won't block any help that they might need.
I think Miss. is where they voted to cut all the "welfare programs" and freaked out when the Meals on Wheels stopped delivering to grandma. Because welfare is what happens to other [colored] people.The governor may well refuse federal aid, like some are refusing the Medicaid expansion money to pay for health care for low income folks. Sad, ignorant place.
This thread is about lab-grown dicks, not some mincy, old, British poof of an actor. Let's get back on topic, please.

I was in the moderator's role in a two-person business negotiation the other day and the discussion got pretty heated. Without directly quoting the parties involved, I can tell you the exchange got so testy that the room was downright uncomfortable. Then one party decided to cross the line–he made it personal. As if that violation of good taste wasn't enough, he went on to almost mock the other party for his limited interpretation of what he thought was plain …

Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) today called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to explain her statement that the State Department is likely to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, as proposed, despite the analysis and review of public comments being incomplete. Her comments were made in response to a question asked after an address to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on October 15, 2010.
Johanns sent Clinton a letter noting that her comments were premature and damaging to the integrity of the federal review process. The letter references Johanns' previous request that Clinton address deficiencies in the department's analysis of the proposed route, including the failure to consider potentially preferable alternative routes.
Johanns wrote, "While you acknowledged that you 'haven't finished all of the analysis' and your staff indicated they are still reviewing 'the thousands of comments we have received,' your comment that the State Department 'is inclined' to grant approval for the pipeline appears to prejudge the outcome as a foregone conclusion … a premature decision of this magnitude is unfortunate, especially in light of the significant concerns I outlined to you in a letter the previous day regarding the proposed pathway of this pipeline."

• A history of Sen. Johanns' efforts relating to the Keystone XL pipeline and a copy of his previous letter to Secretary Clinton can be found here.

Cuba's Gardens of the Queen on '60 Minutes'
On Sunday "60 Minutes" aired a great piece by Anderson Cooper on one of the most pristine coral reefs in the world, the Gardens of the Queen (or Jardines de la Reina) in Cuba.
Diving in, Cooper is not disappointed – he is surrounded by colorful corals, large sharks and a 200-lb critically endangered goliath grouper.
Oceana's research vessel, the Ranger, sailed to the Gardens of the Queen in 2008, and documented a wide variety of marine life including sharks and sea turtles.

Happy spring Friday!
Offshore drilling was on everyone's lips this week. And while we were disappointed with Obama's decision to open new areas to drilling, he also cancelled four lease sales in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas that had been scheduled by President Bush and committed to conducting significant scientific research and monitoring before any new lease sales are held in those areas -- which is very good news for Arctic people and ecosystems.
Oceana board member Ted Danson talked about the drilling decision on CNN yesterday. If you're incensed by Obama's decision, go ahead and give him a piece of your mind.
In other ocean news,
…U.S. Department of State banned imports of wild-caught Mexican shrimp if they are collected in ways that threaten endangered sea turtles; in other words, turtle excluder devices are now required in Mexico's shrimp trawl nets.
…NOAA administrator and marine ecologist Jane Lubchenco talked to Smithsonian Magazine about our changing view of the oceans, dead zones and a cohesive national ocean policy.
…Anderson Cooper dove unprotected with great white sharks in South Africa with "shark man" Mike Rutzen. The video includes disturbing footage of a shark being finned and thrown back into the sea, still alive.

How much time should I spend studying for the MCAT?
The amount of study time you need to reach an adequate level of preparation for the MCAT depends on a variety of factors, including the amount of coursework you've completed in the sciences and the general level of your analytical and critical-thinking abilities, among other points. You might need less study time than another student if you have a special aptitude or more personal experience related to MCAT content areas. Whatever your initial skill level, it's very important to begin preparing for your test as soon in the process as you are able. To devise a strong study plan for yourself, follow these steps.
Evaluate Your Readiness
Most students need a minimum of three to four months of regular, sustained test preparation, including content review and practice time. That said, some students need even more time than that. So, in order to ensure that you have as much time as you need to get adequately prepared for the test, it's absolutely vital that you evaluate your initial skill level and general readiness for the MCAT as early as possible. Ideally, you should evaluate yourself immediately upon making your initial decision to apply to medical schools.
There are a couple ways to evaluate your initial readiness for the MCAT. First, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the administrator of the MCAT, publishes the Official MCAT Self-Assessment Package, a set of online evaluation materials designed just for this purpose. After purchasing and completing the self-assessment, you get a detailed analysis of your performance that identifies your strengths and weaknesses and helps you organize an effective study plan. Alternatively, AAMC also provides access to a free full-length MCAT practice test online. While you get a detailed score report upon completing this practice test, the reports and evaluation tools are not as comprehensive as those provided in the Official MCAT Self-Assessment Package.
Many MCAT prep companies also offer free or paid evaluation services designed to help you get a grasp on your study needs. The Princeton Review, for example, offers free on-site and online practice tests, both of which deliver a score report detailing your test performance. If you live near a Princeton Review location, take your score report to a free practice test review session to get personal help building a study plan based on your test performance.
Evaluate Your MCAT Scheduling Options
As you look to evaluate your readiness for the MCAT, you also need to start thinking about scheduling your MCAT test date. The test is administered more than 20 times throughout the year so you have plenty of choices. Once you solidify your test date, you're then ready to lock in a study schedule and get down to the hard work of preparing for the test. To identify a good MCAT test date, consider these important factors.
Medical School Deadlines
In most cases, you should schedule your MCAT test date sometime during the calendar year before you intend to enter medical school. For example, if you plan to apply in 2014 for medical school entry in the fall of 2015, you should take your MCAT in 2014. While this advice is widely applicable across most medical schools, it's still important to research your favored schools in order to identify any differences in general policy or in MCAT submission deadlines. For example, some schools review MCAT results from earlier test dates first, which may influence admissions decisions for students who test later and are consequently evaluated later in the admissions process.
Allowing for Retakes
You should also consider the possibility of retaking the MCAT. If you want to give yourself enough time to retake the test should you need to, it's important to schedule your initial test date as early as possible while still giving yourself enough time to prepare adequately. While no one wants to take the MCAT multiple times, many different life events and test-day circumstances are capable of influencing your test performance. If something goes wrong on test day, it's nice to have the leeway to schedule another attempt.
You're allowed to take the MCAT up to three times per year at a cost of $270 per attempt. In most cases, your scores are made available to you about 30 to 35 days after your test date, so you need to consider the month-long wait time if you want to allow yourself the chance to fit in a new test date before medical school deadlines arrive. Also consider the fact that many test dates fill up in advance. If you live in an area with limited testing locations, you need to factor in the possibility of a delay while you wait for an open test date.
Study Considerations
Many students take an MCAT prep course to help them get ready for test day. Popular options include on-site, live online, and self-guided courses lasting from a week or two to several months or more. The Princeton Review, for example, offers a variety of courses to meet virtually any student need, from comprehensive three-month courses to 15-hour courses focusing on just the verbal reasoning section of the test. Kaplan is another top provider in the MCAT prep industry, offering a full complement of course options both online and on-site. If you're interested in professional MCAT preparation, chances are there's a great course out there offering just what you need. However, since the options are so varied in length, it's important to identify the course you want to take before you schedule your MCAT.
Schedule Your Test and Start Studying
Once you've identified the ideal test date, it's time to lock it in and get started with studying. Note that the AAMC opens test dates for registration in two large blocks each year. Test dates for the months of January to May open in the fall of the prior calendar year. Test dates for the months of June to September are released in the spring of the same year. No MCAT test dates are available during the months of October, November, and December.

A cozy cottage!
My husband and I chose Henry's cottage when I was relocating to Tampa and we were between homes. The cottage was a perfect transition home for us, giving me a comfortable home base to discover the neighborhood and Tampa while allowing my husband a familiar commute to work. I'm only sorry that I did not get to have more conversations with Thomas (the cat)! The cottage is very clean and set up with all of the basics you might need for a temporary stay. The kitchen is conveniently set up with all sorts of basic ingredients, spices, etc. making it very easy to prepare simple meals. Seminole Heights is a great neighborhood base for any type of traveler - it's easy to get around Tampa, but even easier to stay in the neighborhood and try all of the great restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the area. I especially loved walking around the neighborhood and looking at the restored bungalows. I will be sure to direct all of my relatives (who are threatening to visit) to your home!

For those of you who are new to this, and don't know what stimming is, it's those little physical things that a lot of AS people do to relieve stress or whatever.

My ds still does a lot of stimming when he is excited, although if he sees anyone watching he will immediately stop. He had been putting on a little weight too because it was difficult to get him involved in physical activity and his diet of cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets and mac and cheese didn't help. Things have improved considerably in

Stimming is very important....and it seems like the lack of stimming has left your son feeling kind of "down"

About Us
"There is now overwhelming evidence that women's empowerment has the most far-reaching effect in improving the lives of all men, women, and children."
Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen
Why Women
Women and girls are the answer.
The global balance is shifting; women are shaping the future of our communities and nations. In fact, most international institutions and organizations agree that empowering women and girls is the fastest way to solve world problems. It's a movement that is centered around solutions rather than blame. It's a movement that's already begun and World Pulse is here to broadcast their voices around the globe.
Women are not equally represented.
Women are consistently excluded from top economic and political decision-making positions and their voices are drastically underrepresented in international news media. Since media presence is one of the most visible forms of power and authority, women's essential contribution to solving global problems and framing public policy debates is directly proportional to their representation in the media.
Despite the fact that women represent more than a third of working journalists around the world, less than 1% of the world's editors, department heads, and media owners are women. —International Federation of Journalists
7% of women are cited in global news stories on government and politics —International Women's Media Foundation
1% of world's financial resources owned by women —United Nations
15% of women in top global decision making positions —United Nations
Including women's voices benefits our world.
When women's voices are equally heard and supported in the media, it results in increased family and child wellbeing, more investment in education and health care, better economic growth and job creation, as well as proper transparency and accountability. It accelerates social healing after trauma, as well as information sharing and problem-solving. Most importantly, it strengthens community networks, environmental stewardship, and the democratic process, as well as arts, culture, and creativity.

What I like to know is how do your logistics work for East African Theatre.
In my HoI II games I personally leave Ethopia unoccupied because as soon I turn against the Allies they close Gibraltar and Suez Straits for me eventually starving my approx. 12 Divisions before I get the Suez Canal back open for my Supplies.
Is this going to happen in HoI III too or is there some way I can supply them so they can hold out fighting instead of retreating?
OK, so I assume that one can mod **ANY** faction to allow for "limited war", no? I tend to assume that this might be fairly easy, like one on/off switch in the code?Posted by mikey1871
if one is playing a major power and they are in an alliance, can they do a limited war on anyone they want to? If they could that would be awesome. I always had to have all my growing wars before i would join an alliance just so I could take the resources i wanted first.
Can the AI handle a modded Allies faction to allow for limited war, or is this needed to be tweaked by the modder to make it "correct"? I actually assume that the AI **COULD** handle it because being attacked has different parameters than diplomacy...can't wait to get this game!
The new style DD is a lot of fun to read, good job!
It seems there is a lot of shattering of divisions going on, is it always like that? Or is that simply a side-effect of the suprise attack, so the Yougo divisions were at such a low reserve strength that they would shatter relatively fast?
A little note on the Italian AAR.... shouldn't a contry react on your upbuild at the border to that contry. Yugoslavia should already mobilized when they see the italian troops at its border which should make it hard to attack.
Great AAR btw...
Captain Jack
Are there any plans to spruce up the counters a little? The simple black lines with the white background makes it a little difficult to tell the units apart. If one looks at the screen shots of the map, especially on the final screen shot, its hard to tell the difference between the infantry, mountain, and motorized divisions. Perhaps some rework to make them look more different from each other, or perhaps a little more color variation than just black and white? Seems a little out of place with all the other graphics enhancement, to still be using aliased, black and white symbols.
The Yugoslavian Army did not increase mobility because it was unable to, if King had increased his mobility instead of changing his draft policy, then Yugoslavia would have been able to respond with its own increase in mobility.
It's a game of international chess.
Besides, after his attack the Swiss mobilized.
I like.
Theater assignments for the AI? Damn, that will make my wars a lot more manageable, and maybe even a little more realistic as I can hand more control to the commanders on the ground and not micromanage them, unless I need to pull a Fuehrer.
Just one game, I might just play like King did, and only give the theaters direction and stand back. I don't think that will be my normal style as I like directing things down a little lower, but it should be fun just to see what the AI can do.
Mate those provinces in Yugoslavia you need to do some fixing beograd is 2 on the east near romanian border
and those rivers need to change to
where is Sava river going into belgrade and joining with Dunav????
i think its better fro the game but as i understand we will have map editor so hell i will change that
and change the name of province Zrenjanin if you have it on the map cauz its not correct :P
Petrovgrad is more correct

text: A glimpse of some delicate white flowers on a light and breezy summer's day. Lately I'm finding I spent more time outside than in, which is always a good sign. The town is slowly clearing out for the summer as it always does, and with that came a bittersweet awareness that one time has ended, and another is about to begin.

Hey, seventeen viewers, I am going to put on some eyeliner today. I really don't wear eyeliner but lately, my eyes-- I feel like my eyes look a little plain so I bought some CoverGirl eyeliner and I'm gonna try it on. Alright, let's see if I can do this. Okay, so I just bought this eyeliner for like $6 and I was watching a makeup video on Youtube and it says that with people who don't have steady hands, which is people like me that you should apply the eyeliner like half and then half, instead of doing one long line; lots of women tried this. And I've got one that is a ballpoint because, I've tried pencil ones before and this is like too hard and its like this could smudge a little bit, so I fall to look a smokey eye, it will be easier. And it comes with this smudge other side, to like smoothed out mistakes. Alright. Now let me use my mirror and try to do this. Oh, I forgot, I need a Q tip. You should use a Q tip and hold your eyelid up like this because when you go like this and pull your eyelid like that you're like stretching your skin and some cause wrinkles on whatever. So, use a Q tip. It's not that great. If you want that [unknown] I mean, alright, let me do the bottom. Yeah, this is not coming out how I want it. This looks so-- Alright, this is messy because this is not a straight line and there's a little piece up here is just like too much. Oh gosh, this is so bad. I like the cat eye look, but this is probably-- I mean this is not that bad. You know what, I'm probably like nervous when we try to do it slow. But I feel like if you I was like doing it faster it might come out better. Alright, I'm gonna take this off and I will try again another time, but thanks for watching and hopefully I will learn to put on eyeliner at some point in my life. Okay, bye.
