I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
Listening to Charlton Griffin's reading of Richmond Lattimore's translation of The Iliad was a wonderful experience.
Griffin is good at modifying the pitch and tone of his voice to evoke the different genders and ages and moods and agendas of the various characters. He brings the epic to life. He even makes fascinating the 90-minute introduction by scholar Herbert J. Muller. And the sound effects (ravens cawing over a battlefield) and Greek mood music introducing and concluding the 24 books of the epic immersed me in its world.
As for Homer's story, an epic focused on a short slice of a long war, a tragedy with plenty of humor, it is rewardingly rich, depicting the appalling heroism and horror of war, the full range of human nature (from bravery to cowardice, brutality to mercy, destruction to creation, and hatred to love), the richness of ancient Greek culture, the pettiness and power of the gods, and the mortality and wonder of life. Among the most impressive moments are Hector's meeting with his wife and baby before going out to fight, Hephaestus' crafting of a shield with the heavens and earth and all of human endeavor animated upon it, and Achilles' inability to embrace the ghost of Patroclus in a dream. I hope the following quotation will give an idea of the excellence of Lattimore's translation and the depth of Homer's vision:
As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity,
The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber
burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning.
So one generation of men will grow while another dies.
In conclusion, I thoroughly savored this audio version of The Iliad, often smiling with appreciation for Homer's story, Lattimore's translation, and Griffin's reading. I highly recommend it.
"Of arms I sing and the hero, destiny's exile," begins Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid, which I just finished enjoying in the Audio Connoisseur version. Though I am no expert, the 1961 verse translation, by Patric Dickinson, feels natural, clear, and pleasurable. The forty-something-minute introduction is illuminating about the strong points as well as the limitations of Virgil's epic. The Aeneid is not The Iliad (but then what is?), for Virgil has almost no sense of humor and too great a belief in Augustan Rome as the acme of world empires. But he also has a rich, noble, and dramatic imagination.
And Charlton Griffin does as wonderful job here as he does reading The Iliad, varying his pitch and pace to evoke the different emotions and moods of Virgil's many characters and scenes, bringing the poem to life with conviction. Among the highlights are Aeneas recounting the fall of and escape from Troy, Dido despairing, Aeneas finding the ghost of an assassinated Trojan in a mound pierced by spears that have grown into myrtle shoots, Aeneas visiting the underworld, the Trojans trapping the Latin hero Turnus inside their fortifications only to discover they have bitten off more than they can chew, baby Camilla's father tying her to a spear and throwing it over a river, and Turnus asking a last boon of Aeneas. Such scenes are beautiful, terrible, exciting, moving, fantastic, and heroic.
The production is fine, with good sound quality and ancient Mediterranean-type music introducing and concluding the books. But if you wish to hear the story freshly, you should fast forward past the suspense-killing and superfluous five-minute summaries that introduce each book.
I recommend this audio book because it is an influential and good story well read that reveals a lot about how ancient Rome saw itself and its origins and about the weakness and heroism in human nature.
This is a great audiobook Beowulf! The translation by Francis B. Gummere apparently follows closely the Anglo-Saxon original, even to the alliterative verse and kennings, so that listening to it gives one the illusion of listening to the "real" poem. And Rosalyn Landor does a fine job with it, using her deep and gravitas-filled voice effectively, building a dark momentum and sounding heroic and wyrd-filled and cool. The scenes with Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon are all exciting and imaginative, and the scenes of interaction between Beowulf and Hrothgar and the other Scyldings are fascinating. Highly recommended!

text: Silly Season Latest: Back to the future as Raikkonen to swap teams with Alonso 9 September, 2013 Renault driver Fernando Alonso with Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen in 2009 As the Formula 1 paddock emptied at Monza, silly season speculation raged with one block buster piece of news seemingly moving into the realm of fact: Kimi Raikkonen is returning to Ferrari in 2014 and Fernando Alonso could well return to the Enstone outfit with whom he won three of his world titles. The news was being confidently reported by broadcasters, including Germany's RTL, the major daily Bild, and even perhaps the most respected correspondent in the paddock, Auto Motor und Sport's Michael Schmidt. Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo will reportedly inform Felipe Massa that his services are no longer required in a personal meeting at Maranello on Wednesday. It would go some way to explaining the Italian team's current 'number 1′ driver Fernando Alonso's foul mood and outbursts of recent days and weeks. Bild reported that the long delay in the actual signing of Raikkonen's deal is because part of his management team, David Robertson, is in hospital in the US with cancer. Fernando Alonso leads Kimi Raikkonen during the Italian GP In the meantime, Spaniard Alonso has pushed hard for the status-quo, openly arguing that Massa should stay put. It appears that he has not won the day. Der Spiegel claims to even know who will pay Raikkonen's approximately €20 million salary – partly the Alonso-linked Spanish bank Santander, and partly team sponsor Shell. "Let's see what happens," Massa told the Italian broadcaster RAI on Sunday. "Yes, this race was important for my future, but it doesn't mean that my only future can be (wearing) red." He is also quoted by O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper: "He (Montezemolo) will not announce anything without talking to me, for sure. I love Ferrari. But the other teams also know what I can do." Finn Raikkonen, as per usual, was also giving little away at Monza, "I don't know anything yet. Once I know, I'll tell you." Indeed, once the news becomes official, the really explosive speculation may begin. Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen on the podium in Melbourne earlier in the year The German dailies Bild and Welt already report that Alonso is so unhappy with Raikkonen's arrival that he could jump ship to fill the Finn's place at Lotus. That move actually might not be as unlikely as it sounds. Bild newspaper said it could coincide with a ramping up of works Renault support for the Enstone based team, backed fully by the French carmaker's chairman Carlos Ghosn. When asked about that potentially explosive news, Lotus team boss Eric Boullier said: "If Fernando knocks on my door, I will answer it. I just hope that I can pay for it!" He is also quoted by Formula 1news.ru: "We are trying to establish a relationship with Renault and Total, which is important from a technical standpoint but it also may help on the financial side." Switzerland's Blick newspaper reported that Nico Hulkenberg will definitely not be staying at Sauber next year. The German has been linked with Massa's Ferrari seat, but he might also be a candidate to replace Raikkonen at Lotus. "We all have plans and backup plans," said Boullier. When asked simply 'Kimi or Nico?' the Frenchman answered: "Good question." Tweet Related NewsDe la Rosa future at Ferrari uncertain in wake of Alonso exitFry set to follow Tombazis out the Ferrari doorFerrari denies making Vettel confirming tweetMarchionne: I haven't said that Alonso is goingVettel: I am a driver for Scuderia FerrariAlonso's final days at Ferrari strained and frustratingMcLaren give Alonso deadline to accept $88 million dealAlonso desires Mercedes but looks set for McLarenAlonso: My own future is very low priority at the momentBerger: If I was Ferrari I would keep Alonso Tamburello_1994 Kimi to Ferrari – Maybe. The Alonso part of this leaves many questions unanswered. If (and that's a big "if") this turns out to be true, Then Ferrari has just wasted the last four years, with absolutely nothing to show for it. Colossal, Epic failure that Alonso would have to go back to Lotus (Renault) that's cash strapped, and somewhat triumphant ("I told you so" moment) for Kimi returning to Maranello. I would give my left (lug) nut to see that. Going from Ferrari to Lotus is a demotion no matter how you look at it. How can you be the best driver in the world when you drive for a second tier team? Moreover, If you couldn't win a title with Ferrari, How do you think that gets done at Lotus? And what about Fernando's contract? That's 90 million I'm sure he wants. Not gonna get that driving a Lotus. Or does he go on a three year gardening leave? the fan these stories are just worthy of a movee… btw, it says alonso won 3 of his titles in renault. thats just 2 actually. care to proof read your stories editor? i highly doubt the alonso to renault move, whats the purpose of this? because they cant afford 2 top drivers in the team? how about putting them both in the same team and restructuring the entire leadership of Scuderia Ferrari. they can try that instead. diwant returning to Ferrari in 2014 and Fernando Alonso could well return to the Enstone outfit with whom he won three of his world titles. THREE WORLD TITLES?? Saša What is wrong with people. Alonso and Kimi in same team is best way to develop new car for new era. People forget what is coming next year. Mercedes have best duo at the moment. Red Bull, we will see. Ferrari have not. Lotus, I don't think they can pay for it. New engine, new rules, I bet that not Red Bull but Mercedes will be asked next year who is number one. With that in mind, Ferrari must take some action. And best one is to get Kimi back. If they keep Felipe (who is good but not as good as Kimi), they are lost. And I don't think Nico will do much better than Felipe. Ferrari simply have not so good car, and that thing can be driven good only by a racer like Alonso, Kimi and Luis. No one else. Maybe I am all wrong, but that is what I think. hillside even this site is under FA's Santander payroll? three WDC really?lol we'll have to wait for like another 20 years for that miracle to happen Sian I highly doubt Ferrari would have a completely new line up next year, if Fernando goes then they'd keep Felipe. Fernando really wants to Felipe to stay so if they want to keep Fernando they have to keep him happy with how annoyed he as been at the team lately. Really don't see Kimi and Fernando at Ferrari as they know Fernando would kick off and that is the last thing the team want. adam ferrari have wasted at least the last 5years in f1, no designers, no working wind tunnel, they must all go to the same school as the ducati engineers, WE DO THIS our way, they take no advice, because they say it ok. alonso and kimi should not be looking at ferrari futures unless. they have given up on racing, thus just chasing the money, shame but thats the i see this situation Pauli H 50-60 million deal for two years is not done in a couple of days. I think that Kimi's Ferrari contract was finalized in July. Alonso's loyalty to Ferrari is in question and that's why Ferrari is having discussions with Alonso, Massa and Hulkengerg about the second seat. lawl Three world titles? Did Butterfly become editor for gp247? lol. Butterfly lawl: No, you retard. el vicepresidente Bla Bla Bla Bla,you people need to consider all the possibilityes, there is a lot of money out there,you can buy your seat,2014 is a new era.Think who is out there and you will be surprise,is scary,but is the truth,they use the same manager and this manager has a lot of influences. Two Alpha dog in the same team NO WAY, NO CAN DO,FORGERET Alonzo and Ferrari need somebody,that do whether they want and the only way to fid that is locking to the SA,or stay whit Massa el vicepresidente whatever they want =El Presidente= i would like to make sure, that i don't have anything to do with 'el vicepresidente' .. He is not my 'vice presidente' xD Red Bull Cheats If there had been a FEW points difference in the title race last year and 2010 then Fernando would be 4 x WDC and Vettel 1 x WDC. Ferrari and Alonso have been in the title hunt at the last race for 2 of the last 3 years. Hardly nothing achieved. Faceman Do it Kimi. FCUK Luca and his syphilis addled brain and classless management. Yes, i do think I could do a better job! the fan announcement is on the way, kimi returns! Tamburello_1994 Breaking news from espnf1: "Ferrari prepares to announce signing of Raikkonen." el vicepresidente Kimi and Alonzo same team? No F….ing way Kimi maybe last chance to Mc Laren and Button to Lotus Alonzo team mate =SURPRISE a BIG ONE or Massa one more year Lotus need money a lot of money Grojean will go and Pastor will have the seat at lotus,with Kimi or with Button.Grojean remember this name, AND PRESIDENTE YOU MUST BE A MEXICAN OR VENEZUELAN I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE EDUCATE Y PIENSA Tamburello_1994 . . . . From planet f1: 'Ferrari set to confirm Kimi' Lots a smoke with this story. . . . . Tamburello_1994 Hearing the wait is on Fernando – If he's stays or goes. McLaren or Lotus. (or Ferrari) Crash f1 reports: 'Have you heard? It's done. They're telling Felipe on Wednesday, and announcing Kimi on .' WOW!!!! the fan tamburello… i guess fernando will stay on board. the only thing to watch for here is how will Ferrari implement their new policy of having no no 2 driver in the field. im happy that they will adapt this system as their current policy of having only 1 driver is a massive failure Tamburello_1994 I agree fan. Just can't see Fernando leaving 90 million on the table. Either way – Ferrari has it's bases covered. Felipe is talking to Monisha K. right about now. the fan the next logical step for Ferrari is to fire stefano dominicalli and nicolas tombazis

There's really nothing worse than a client who has a strictly casual relationship with the truth. (Well, maybe that and a client who can't pay you.) When clients lie, it makes life difficult for everyone and makes you look like a schmuck; attorney-client privilege sort of precludes exclaiming, "But he swore up and down he didn't have any other assets!" But even if no one else finds out about the lie, it harms your ability to represent your client. One lie begets another; how do you know that everything isn't a lie? Finding out requires time, which means money.
In order to fend off the possible sanctions, the bruised ego, or something as prosaic as opportunity cost, how can you make sure that your client is telling the truth? (Note that this advice isn't for clients who plan to lie to a tribunal, but rather clients who aren't being forthright with you.) Here are five signs to look out for:

Heath Ledger's Entire Estate Left to Daughter
After months of closed-door court meetings — all of Heath Ledger's estimated $20 mil estate will go to his 2-year old daughter Matilda Rose.
According to news reports, Heath's dad Kim Ledger says the will originally had all the assets divided up to his parents and sisters, but Heath's family thought the right thing to do was to give it all up — for the benefit of Matilda.
Heath Ledger died of an accidental prescription pill overdose in January.

Obama Signs Actions Taking Aim at Gender Pay Gap

WASHINGTON (AP) In a concerted election-year push to draw attention to women's wages, President Barack Obama signed directives Tuesday to make it easier for workers of federal contractors to get information about workplace compensation. He seasoned his move with a sharp rebuke of Republicans whom he accused of "gumming up the works" on workplace fairness.
Obama made a clear partisan appeal to women as he issued an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from retaliating against workers who discuss their pay. He also directed the Labor Department to write rules requiring federal contractors to provide compensation data by race and gender.
"This is about Republicans seemingly opposing any efforts to even the playing field for working families," Obama said at a White House signing ceremony, surrounded by women advocates and accompanied by Lilly Ledbetter, a woman whose namesake legislation on pay equity was the first bill Obama signed into law in 2009.
Obama's actions focused exclusively on federal contractors but they dovetailed with the start of Senate debate on broader legislation to make it easier for workers to sue any company for paying women less because of their gender. That legislation is expected to fail, as it has in the past, due to Republican opposition.
The Senate legislation, like Obama's narrower executive order, would forbid companies from punishing workers who share salary information and would allow punitive and compensatory damages in lawsuits. It would make it harder for companies to prove disparities in pay are not gender based and would make it easier to file class action lawsuits.
Republican Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska said she would offer an amendment to narrow the measure, mostly by banning employer retaliation against workers who share salary information. She and several other Republican senators said they would likely vote to block debate on the overall bill on Wednesday unless Democrats allow votes on GOP amendments.
Fischer said the Democratic bill would harm merit pay, allow unlimited damage claims in lawsuits against employers, and hinder people from accepting lower pay in exchange for more flexible work hours.
Nearly a dozen Democratic women senators took to the chamber's floor Tuesday to support the legislation.
"We believe that women need a fair shot to get equal pay for equal work," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., the measure's sponsor. "And we want it in our law books and we want it in our checkbooks."
Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate's No. 3 Democratic leader, said equalizing pay for men and women was a popular issue and warned Republicans opposing the measure, "We're going to come back to this issue several times this year."
The National Labor Relations Board and some federal courts already have determined company pay secrecy rules are prohibited under the National Labor Relations Act. But cases against violators can only be brought by the NLRB on the basis of a complaint. The Senate bill would spell out the prohibition and allow for potentially penalizing private lawsuits.
Obama's directive for compensation data is not the first time the administration considered seeking such statistics. The Labor Department in 2011 sought public comment on how to collect wage information, but so far no rule has been proposed. Obama's action essentially instructs the department to take the next step.
The debate over pay equality is complicated by varying wage gap measures.
Obama cited Census Bureau figures show annual earnings for women were 77 percent of what men earned in 2012.
But when measured by hourly earnings, that difference narrows to 86 percent, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The larger gap is in part because women tend to work fewer hours than men and because annual figures include items omitted from hourly data, including tips and bonuses. An analysis of 2012 data by the Pew Research Center placed the discrepancy at 84 cents for women for every $1 made by men.
A recent review of staff salaries at the White House found the president's female aides were paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men. White House officials say men and women in equivalent roles at the White House earn the same amount, but that there are more women in lower paying positions.

China Petrochemical Corp., the state- owned petroleum explorer known as Sinopec Group, sold $3 billion of debt in its first dollar-denominated bond sale in more than 15 years.
The company issued $1 billion portions each of 2.75 percent five-year debt to yield 205 basis points more than similar- maturity Treasuries, 3.9 percent 10-year bonds with a 210 basis- point spread and 4.875 percent 30-year securities to yield 185 basis points more than benchmarks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Sinopec is the fifth Chinese gas company to sell dollar bonds this year after borrowers in Asia issued a record amount of dollar-denominated debt in April while seeking funds to expand in the world's fastest-growing region amid a drop in global sales. Cnooc Ltd. (CEO:US), China's largest offshore oil producer, sold $2 billion of 30-year notes April 25, the biggest such offering by a Chinese company in more than a year, Bloomberg data show.
Sinopec last sold dollar bonds in 1996, when it issued a $200 million convertible note through Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Bloomberg data show. The company has about 218 billion yuan ($34 billion) of debt outstanding. Proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes in its international businesses and to fund overseas expansion, according to marketing materials obtained by Bloomberg News.
China National Petroleum Corp., Beijing Enterprises Holdings Ltd. and China Resources Gas Group Ltd. have also raised U.S. currency debt in 2012, Bloomberg data show.
China's energy use increased at the fastest pace in four years in 2011 as consumption of natural gas jumped 12 percent and crude-oil use rose 2.7 percent, the statistics bureau said in February.
Citigroup Inc., HSBC Holdings Plc, BOC International Holdings Ltd., Barclays Plc, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Mizuho Securities Co. and UBS AG managed the sale, Bloomberg data show. Moody's Investors Services is expected to rate the securities Aa3, its fourth-highest grade.

- Studio Anchor Bay Entertainment
- Platform PSP Movies
- Genre Horror
Movie Description
This classic horror film is Sam Raimi's legendary directorial debut. Five college friends travel to a backwoods cabin deep in the Tennessee mountains for a weekend of fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, they make a discovery that spoils the party. They find The Book of the Dead, bound in human flesh and written in blood, as well as a tape recorder. When they play the tape, which contains demonic incantations from the book, they unwittingly open a portal to the netherworld and unleash the powers of evil. One by one, all of the friends are possessed and transformed into hideous demons, except for Ash (Bruce Campbell). Since the only way to survive is to dismember the bodies of his friends, an intense blood-and-gore-fest ensues.

The U.S. Department of Education today announced a nearly $50,000 grant to Danvers High School in Danvers, Massachusetts, to help with ongoing recovery efforts following the alleged recent murder of a math teacher by a 14-year-old student. The immediate services grant, which is being made through the Department's Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) program and administered by the Office of Safe and Healthy Students, will provide support to the high school.
"In light of this senseless tragedy, we want to provide support to the students, school staff and community of Danvers who were impacted by the loss of this young teacher," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. "These grants will help provide the necessary services needed to restore the learning environment."
The town of Danvers is located approximately 20 miles from the Boston metro area. On October 22, 2013, a 24-year-old female teacher was murdered at Danvers High School. The event occurred immediately after school on the 2nd floor of the school building. For two days following the incident, the school was designated a crime scene and closed. Danvers' nearly $50,000 grant will help provide enhanced security for after-school hours, substitute teachers who are covering for teachers still in distress, opening after-school library hours so that teachers can provide extra help for students in a more public space near the office, and additional mental-health services to students, staff and others who are still grieving.
The Department's Project SERV grants provide funding for school districts, colleges and universities that have experienced a significant traumatic event and need resources to respond, recover, and re-establish safe environments for students. The Office of Safe and Healthy Students has awarded more than $33.7 million through 111 grants, including Danvers, since the program began in 2001.

I agree with the group here! I think it would actually be really interesting to have people post their top ten names and see if someone can guess their age range!

Yes, it sounds like your friends are jealous OR not mature. (No offense, it's just that these are great, classy names, and you seem really sophisticated and mature.)http://www.onceuponatimebabynames.com/

Samuel is a teen-mom name? I wish!
For a lot of people, if their grandparent or grandparents friends have certain names, it makes those names feel completely unusable because of the connection they have to an old person. I could never use the name Irene because I grew up knowing a crusty old smoker with a dozen cats named Irene. I recognize that it can be a pretty name, but the connection kills it for me.
Don't worry about bad reactions from one or two people. If everybody hates them, then maybe rethink.

In the quest for sexual pleasure, we too often focus squarely on one another's genitals as if those few square inches hold the only key to ecstasy. Paying attention primarily to these parts may work fine for casual flings but even in months-long affairs, not to mention long term relationships, sex runs the risk of turning stale unless partners pay attention to each other and to more than just the vulva, penis or anus.
One of my favorite poems by Pablo Neruda is called "Your Feet". It has these beautiful lines in it about why he adores his lover's feet - not because of how they look, but because of the way they carry and support her as she walks along the earth (and, of course, that they ultimately brought her to him).
I once Secret Messaged (on Twitter) a link to this poem to my own partner, who notoriously makes fun of my bony feet when they poke him at night as I wrap my leg around him and fall asleep. Always the sensitive one, I told him that I want him to love my feet the way he loves the rest of me - if not for their boniness then for the way they carry me home to him day after day. [Even Neruda's lover - if this translation can be trusted - had "feet of arched bone... hard little feet." Like me!]

If it hasn't changed, the location in WDW was in Innoventions (I forget if its east or west). There is like a black curtain with a sign that says something like Disney Visa Cardholder Character Greeting and a cast member outside to check if you have a Disney Visa card.
I am a Disney Visa cardholder, but have not participated in the character meet and greet. I do know its in Innoventions. I also believe that it is only at a particular time during the day as well.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Both docks in the Coyote Rocks development in Spokane Valley were damaged this spring from the rising waters of the Spokane River. SR file photo/J. Bart Rayniak
Outdoors writer Rich Landers has an interesting story in today's paper about the ongoing controversy surrounding 30 proposed docks at the Coyote Rock development on the Spokane River. So far there have been fines and a lawsuit. It looks like next week a formal challange will be heard by the Pollution Control Board. And on Sunday a protest rally/river float is planned at noon at Plantes Ferry Park, which is near the development. Read Rich's story for more details.

SunPower's And Flextronics' New Solar Manufacturing Plant Creates Jobs, Economic Benefits And Clean Affordable Energy
MILPITAS, Calif., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marking SunPower's (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) continued U.S. growth and investment, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. will join the company and its partner Flextronics (Nasdaq: FLEX) today in dedicating a new solar panel manufacturing facility in Milpitas, Calif. The Flextronics plant has created more than 100 jobs and will produce 75 megawatts (MW) per year of solar power panels for rooftops and power plants.
Leading the Nation on Renewable Power
During the dedication event, Governor Brown will sign into law California's expanded Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which will ensure that California customers are served with 33 percent renewable energy by 2020. The RPS legislation was sponsored by State Senator Joe Simitian (D- Palo Alto) and passed the legislature as part of a special session focused on economic development.
Economic Footprint Across the Country"Strong public policy at both the federal and state levels is paying off with job creation and capital investments from our equipment manufacturers to our dealers that install SunPower systems on homes and businesses across the U.S. and around the world," said SunPower CEO Tom Werner. "We make the world's highest efficiency solar panels with technology developed in Silicon Valley and can now compete with new gas-fired power plants. With the dedication of our solar panel manufacturing facility in partnership with Flextronics, Governor Brown's signing of California's 33 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard and the Department of Energy's SunShot program, we can invest further to make solar competitive with all power sources, lowering long-term energy costs for all customers." SunPower, founded more than 25-years ago, is headquartered in Silicon Valley and is the number one manufacturer of installed residential and commercial solar systems in the U.S. With operations on four continents, SunPower delivers the highest efficiency and most reliable solar panels and systems on the market today. Since 2005, SunPower has created thousands of jobs and is injecting billions of dollars into the American economy.
- 1,000 employed in SunPower offices and related facilities in San Jose, Richmond, and Milpitas California, and a recently announced expansion in Austin, Texas.
- 6,000 plus are indirectly employed at more than 400 independent SunPower dealers in more than 300 cities across 41 states.
- 23 parts suppliers/manufacturers are headquartered in 33 cities across 19 states.
- Four manufacturers provided equipment for the new Milpitas plant from Ore., Colo., Ill. and Pa.
- 570 large-scale systems in 25 states generating approximately 370 MW of solar power.
