Rocks are everywhere in video games. They sit by roads, roll around as debris, make up whole rooms, or even sometimes star in their own games—they're pretty important!

A little more than a year after former Adobe executive Mike Singer came aboard and six months after it acquired security firm Ambeo, Embarcadero Technologies is assessing its progress in the government market and fine-tuning its strategy.
The software developer is known for data management systems, but now it wants customers to think of it as a provider of comprehensive solutions rather than individual point products, said Singer, the company's vice president of government sales.
"Traditionally, this has been a tools-based business, but we're about much more than that," he said. The company has integrated 14 separate products into its Strategic Data Management (SDM) initiative, which it announced last fall and has been promoting since.
Although Embarcadero has sold products to the government for some time, it created a specific government sales vertical practice only upon Singer's arrival. The practice includes contract specialists and business development experts who concentrate on cultivating the market.
The company appeals to agencies that have too much data to sort through, he said. This "data glut," a widely known problem, developed over a period of years as agencies accumulated information. Agency officials now wonder how they can use the data, and that's the problem Embarcadero proposes to solve with the SDM strategy.
The acquisition of Ambeo was the first step in adding the final piece of the equation, he said. "Those 14 products [in the SDM suite] represent all but the security aspects of SDM. This was the piece that we needed to add," he said. More acquisitions may be in the works, he added.
"The tie-in with the security applications is that if you're using other of our technologies, you would see that it provides a solution as opposed to point products," he said.
The company's main challenge is visibility, said Ted Friedman, a vice president of research at Gartner. They are well-known among database administrators, but to make the new strategy successful, Embarcadero will need to capture the attention of higher-level agency decision-makers, he said.
"I think that Embarcadero has struggled from a marketing point of view," Friedman said. "They're trying now to be viewed not just as a vendor with a bag of tools, but as something more strategic. I don't think their problem is having product to support that. The problem is their perception in the marketplace."
Some market analysts say words like "solution" and "enterprise" are becoming overused to the point they may no longer resonate.
"If the customers are hearing the same 'enterprise solutions' message from smaller companies, I think we will have a believability saturation point in the near term," said Mark Amtower, a consultant specializing in marketing and advertising for federal contractors. "Too many people claiming to do larger things will make it hard for buyers to believe you."

Laundry Drying Help!
I'm new here!
My boyfriend and I have a small one-bed apartment.
It's really tiny.
The boiler is in a closet of its own with no space to hang clothing.
There's a tiny closet next to it that has racks for hanging clothing.
So I've been using that as the airing cupboard as we have a wasahing machine but no dryer.
The washing isn't drying well though.
It's taking a long time to dry (especially jeans!) and it's coming out smelling damp.
The closet is becoming damp and I'm worried about it.
We don't have garden space, so I can't hang clothing outside to dry.
I'm not sure we really have enough space to buy a clothes horse and hang anything inside either.
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can effectively dry our clothes quickly and with very little space required?
Thank you!
Get a dehumidifier -- it sucks the wetness out of the air (and the clothes) in a relatively short time period, and will help with the mold and dampness as well. We don't dry my husband's good shirts (because they shrink), and just hang them up with the dehumidifier running right in front of them -- they're usually dry later that night or by the next morning.
at the VERY least, leave the closet door OPEN when clothes are in there. Air needs to circulate around.
A stand of some sort you could use as a hanging bar, to hang hangers on, would be good if it folds--it might take less space than a clothes horse..
Or hang them over the shower-curtain rod, if you have one.
Instead of spending another $1.50 in my complex's laundry room to dry my clothes, I always bring them after washing into my bathroom and hang them from hangers on the shower rod. My mom does this at home and it seems to work well. I even made a clothesline of sorts by stringing some ribbon from a couple door knobs to dry socks and smaller items.
It is only the two of you, can't be that much laundry. When there were 5 of us and the washer and dryer were both $1 each. I spent the money to dry towels and jeans but everything else air dried.
Laundry day was any curtain rod available, the back of a kitchen chair holds three shirt, shower rods hold a lot and life goes on.
I did it for so long quarters were gold in my eyes. I have had a washer and dryer for 2 years now. I still catch myself giving a clerk two dimes and a nickle instead of a quarter. I have finally stopped the "wash load is done I need to bring hangers/find quarters" thing. LOL
The living room curtain rod is a great place. It might not be what you want in your first place but it is what you have and it only takes a few hours.
i got a tension mount drying pole from target.com (i've also seen them on amazon.com). it can hold at least 18 hangers (i.e with the wet clothes on the hangers) and i hang small items on the arms above the hangers. it has a much smaller "footprint" than a normal drying horse, and i find it attractive-looking enough to just leave it up all the time and hang plants on it when not in use for drying clothes. the specs say it is 9.5 feet tall, but you can leave a segment of the pole out and reduce the height.

I'm actually extremely happy and I hope you are as well. ACC's FSU ranked at #1 and playing for National Title.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Nintendo reported a stellar second-quarter again. Now it is clearly running away with the console war in terms of units sold and profits made. Nintendo generated about $99 million in net income on sales of $4 billion in the quarter. The Japanese company sold 5.17 million Wii consoles during the three months ended June 30. That brings its worldwide sales total to 29.62 million since the console launched in the fall of 2006. By comparison, Sony just reported that it has sold 14.4 million PlayStation 3s, while Microsoft reported that it has sold more than 20 million Xbox 360s. On a worldwide basis, the battle isn't even close. The handheld Nintendo DS is also running away with the torch. Nintendo sold 6.94 million DS units in the quarter, bringing the lifetime total to 77.54 million units. Sony has sold about 36 million PlayStation Portable handhelds. Sony's game group operating income in the quarter was $50 million on sales of $2.1 billion, compared to a loss of $270 million a year ago on sales of $1.8 billion. Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Group, which includes the Xbox 360, lost $188 million in the quarter. Nintendo got a big boost from hit games such as Mario Kart Wii, which sold 6.42 million units, and Wii Fit, which sold 3.42 million units. Total Wii software sales are now at 40.41 million units.

The fabric is soft with a bit of a sheen, both sides are leopard, 2 quality pillow shams, they look so fantastic in our 'Shag' (named for the carpet;) room, guests are loving them and I am thrilled once more with my purchase, and the quick shipping at such a reasonable price. If they matched, I would buy these for every room! I would really like to get the tiger print too...we'll see what happens!Read More
Cute, but....
This is a cute print that washes well. However, the material is rather thin. Every duvet cover I have ever purchased has been made of a heavy canvas-like material. But, this is more the thickness of a bedsheet. It should be fine for my tween, but I might be concerned if it were for a younger child. Also, the buttons weren't sewn on well and had to be re-sewn (1 fell off in the wash!). My daughter loves it and that's what counts. But, I'm expecting to replace it in the next couple years because it's not going to last.Read More
you get what you pay for !!!!
I was very happy when I received it. It felt soft, looked pretty, button secrely sown but after putting my comforter in it I noticced the top had been left unsown. It also has a bad smell when washing-very chemical-like, buy somehing else if you can afford toRead More
Great Deal
I looked all over the internet and stores for a deal like this and no one came close! Overstock strikes again with a great product and value. Nice quality and looks great on my daughters bed! She has a full size bed and the full/queen duvet hangs perfect! You will not be disappointed.Read More

FAQs about Duvet Covers
If you have a duvet, make sure you have it covered. Duvet covers are essential for duvet owners, and they're a great option if you're considering new bedding. They're one of the most popular bedding options, and so it's smart to brush up on your duvet cover knowledge before making any purchases for your bedroom. Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about duvet covers.
How to Secure a Duvet Cover
A duvet cover can protect your comforter from dust, spills, and other dirt, but sometimes getting it on and keeping it in place can be tricky. If you've ever fought to get one onto the duvet or struggled to keep your duvet from slipping around in its cover, then you'll want to follow these tips for securing duvet covers.
Duvet Cover Buying Guide
Whether you call them comforter covers or duvet covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter (or duvet) stylish as well as clean. Duvet covers are relatively inexpensive, come in a wide variety of styles and colors and can keep your bedding protected and looking great. This duvet covers buying guide provides information on how to buy duvet covers and how to choose the one that is right for you.
How to Maintain Luxury Duvet Covers
One of the best things about duvet covers is that they allow you to keep your duvets fresh and clean without much fuss. Of course, the covers need some maintenance, and the more luxurious they are, the more careful you may need to be. Fortunately, keeping them clean and feeling great isn't difficult. Here's how to maintain your luxury duvet covers.
Popular Duvet Cover Styles and Fabrics
Duvet covers are available in a variety of fabrics and patterns. The right style for your bedroom is a matter of personal taste. When choosing a duvet cover for your comforter, pick out a style that will go well with the furniture and flooring of your bedroom. Duvet covers should also complement the art on your bedroom walls and the window dressing.
What You Need to Know about Duvet Covers
Changing the look of your whole bedroom is easy when you use a duvet cover. Sometimes referred to as comforter covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter or duvet stylish as well as clean. Here's what you need to know when you're shopping for one.
How to Secure King-size Duvet Covers
Wrestling a king-size duvet back into its duvet cover after washing is a battle that can require super-human patience and several extra limbs. The enormous area of king-size bedding usually makes washing or changing your duvet cover a two-person chore, but with a few modifications, you can make switching out your king-size duvet cover much simpler. The easiest solution is to create ties that attach to your duvet insert and keep it secure without holes or extraneous metal parts. For instructions on making this bedding alteration, keep reading.
How to Put on a Duvet Cover by Yourself
Putting on a duvet cover is a fast, simple process, even though it may seem potentially troublesome. If you do it correctly, the duvet will lie flat inside the cover, free of wrinkles and bunching. All the process takes is some pulling and shaking; no tricky folding or awkward stuffing is necessary. Fasten the buttons or snaps, and your new duvet cover will be ready for plenty of use. Look below to learn precisely how to put on a duvet cover by yourself.
Duvets vs Down Comforters
A new duvet or down comforter is a fast, easy way to change the look of your bedroom decor. These bed coverings can also keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter's night. Traditionally, the word duvet, a French word meaning "down," was interchangeable with down comforter. Today, however, when most Americans say the word duvet, they are actually referring to a duvet cover. Duvet covers are made to slip over many different types of comforters, whereas a down comforter can be used as a standalone bed covering. Take a look at this article to learn more about the differences between duvets and down comforters.
Benefits of Comforter Covers
Duvet covers, also known as comforter covers, are some of the most popular bedding available today, which shouldn't be surprising. These terrific bedroom staples offer a wide range of benefits. Everyone has a different reason for loving comforter covers. Whether you are looking for style, comfort or convenience, duvet covers can help you meet your goal. Comforter covers are available from a large number of trusted brands in a variety of materials, colors and sizes, meaning there's something in the category for everyone. If you are interested in duvet covers but need a bit of convincing before you take the plunge, take a look at the article below, where you will learn the benefits of comforter covers.
Best Duvet Covers for Each Season
For those who use duvet blankets year-round, duvet covers allow you to change patterns and color to match every season. Along with the decor of the bedroom, a duvet cover may enhance the ambiance of the entire room or supply it with rich colors and textures for the ultimate comfort factor. If you purchased an expensive duvet, covering it throughout the year will keep it in good shape and allow you to wash it without compromising the batting. Look below to learn the best duvet covers for each season. Spring: Once the evenings start warming up, lighter fabrics like satin provide sheen and style to any bedroom. Satin duvet covers are most often comprised of fabrics like nylon, rayon or silk to provide durability as well as comfort. For spring, lighter colors, including pastels or variations of cream and beige, brighten the room. Summer: During warm summer nights, cotton duvets are one of the most common fabric choices. Light and airy, cotton is also easy to clean and comes in virtually every color and pattern. For the summer season, try a white duvet cover, which will make the room appear more open and spacious. A cotton blend that contains polyester is also an ideal choice for summer, because it is soft, requires simple washing and does not wrinkle. Fall: For the fall season, a duvet cover that is warm enough for intermittent chilly nights is an ideal choice. Microsuede duvet covers offer a soft feel to bedding and come in a variety of colors. This material is easy to care for and machine washable. For fall, choose earthy colors like beige, brown, dark green or burgundy for a seasonal look. Winter: A luxurious duvet cover is a favorite option for warmth during the winter months. Velvet is a soft fabric that comes in a variety of rich colors and provides plenty of insulation for cold nights. The luxurious texture looks good in any style of room decor. For winter months, choose deep, rich colors like burgundy, plum, forest green or chocolate to enhance the room. View All Duvet Covers Back to Guides Directory View All Duvet Covers

plant patent vs utility patent - daylilies ??
I am interested in starting a hobby daylily breeding project. My question is whether or not daylilies are protected by utility patents (that prevent use a parents in hybridization) or just by plant patents that prevent asexual propagation for sale.
thanks for any help
Look to see if there is a plant patent number P.P. or if there is some clue to a utility patent. For instance on the My Favorite series of chrysanthemums in the teal pots that came out there is information on the tag about patent applied for and sexual and asexual propagation is prohibited. The breeder applied for both a plant patent (because it is faster and the plants are protected to sell) and a utility patent that is taking longer to go through the chain of events to protect him for having a competitor from taking these novel mums and in just one generation get a mimic cultivar. Utility patents are so expensive and challenging that most breeders just get plant patents, but there is a trend for more and more utility patents, especially by large propagators that want to secure a part of the market for a group of plants having a novel trait.
mums and hostas are among the plants that are most commonly pantented and, according to a friend who's into hostas with more than 300 varieties - it's a wink-your-head joke.
he pays $100 or more for a small seedling and dutifully agrees to not reproduce the plant ----- yeah, right!!!!!
i like daylilies and there is little of the hypocracy. you buy it and you do what you want with it.
Tim: I'm also considering dabbling in Daylilies. Assuming I have created something worthy - I understand the registration process but then what? I could grow and sell my own or contract with a grower but is that the extent of the income stream unless I go for a plant patent?
Thanks, Gaye
The real money comes from patenting and selling the patent outright or contracting with a large grower and recieve agreed upon royalty for each plant propagated.
Most small time folk would probably opt for the outright sale of the patent because tracking production could be daunting.
Plant Patenting is not that expensive ($1,800 to $2,500 per cultivar). What is very, very expensive is enforcing the patent. This can cost from a few hundred thousand dollars to several millions. The only alternative for a small grower or hibrydizer is to look for an Insurance company that will ensure his/her patent. Royalties sounds nice but are very difficult to control and big Nursery growers will only pay a ridiculus small amount for royalties. If you are lucky.

Please note I have photographed many cemeteries en mass. This involved many, many hours and thousands of memorials. I tried to clean the headstones to at least be readable, but with all the mud, rain, leaves, encountered with on ground level headstones, I did not clean each memorial completely off as I would when fulfilling an actual photo request. Also late nights trying to get a section finished up as the sun set led to a few memorials where the shots are pretty dark and as a result, lots of photos aren't the greatest quality. So, whole point being -- I won't be offended if people want to request "prettier" pictures of their loved ones headstones!
Feel free to use my photos for any genealogical purposes. :)

RE: Obit..
Yes, I checked her marriage record and her obit and her husbands obit and they all say "Melinda". I do find her as "Alice Melinda Bates" on Familysearch.org. Have yet to find the pictures mentioned earlier. So sorry for not finding those first and relying only on the genealogy file.

I have a UIViewController with a UIView in which I am adding UIViewController views in as subviews. i.e
UIViewController *vc = [[MyViewController alloc] init];
[my_view_in_xib addSubview:vc.view];
The ViewControllers view and the subviews have AutoLayout enabled. The top level does resize correctly (changing background color to red) I can see it is the right size. However in the subviews in the XIB file I have set the view to be "Freeform" or "None" on the "Size" and pinned the tables to top & bottom and made them pin on the width but the height does not seem to auto resize?
Any suggestions?

As early as next year, Arabic could be the most common language after French in Quebec's French-language schools, thanks to education policies and immigration rules that have favored applicants from francophone countries in Africa. While the number of students whose primary language is English grew by 8% over the last five years, pupils whose mother tongue is Arabic soared by more than 42% during the same period.

Improved ability of biological and previous caries multimarkers to predict caries disease as revealed by multivariate PLS modelling
1 Department of Odontology/Cariology, Umeå University, 901 87 Umeå, Sweden
2 Department of Women's and Children's Health/International Maternal and Child Health, Uppsala University, 751 85 Uppsala, Sweden
3 Department of Chemistry, Umeå University, 901 87 Umeå, Sweden
BMC Oral Health 2009, 9:28 doi:10.1186/1472-6831-9-28Published: 3 November 2009
Dental caries is a chronic disease with plaque bacteria, diet and saliva modifying disease activity. Here we have used the PLS method to evaluate a multiplicity of such biological variables (n = 88) for ability to predict caries in a cross-sectional (baseline caries) and prospective (2-year caries development) setting.
Multivariate PLS modelling was used to associate the many biological variables with caries recorded in thirty 14-year-old children by measuring the numbers of incipient and manifest caries lesions at all surfaces.
A wide but shallow gliding scale of one fifth caries promoting or protecting, and four fifths non-influential, variables occurred. The influential markers behaved in the order of plaque bacteria > diet > saliva, with previously known plaque bacteria/diet markers and a set of new protective diet markers. A differential variable patterning appeared for new versus progressing lesions. The influential biological multimarkers (n = 18) predicted baseline caries better (ROC area 0.96) than five markers (0.92) and a single lactobacilli marker (0.7) with sensitivity/specificity of 1.87, 1.78 and 1.13 at 1/3 of the subjects diagnosed sick, respectively. Moreover, biological multimarkers (n = 18) explained 2-year caries increment slightly better than reported before but predicted it poorly (ROC area 0.76). By contrast, multimarkers based on previous caries predicted alone (ROC area 0.88), or together with biological multimarkers (0.94), increment well with a sensitivity/specificity of 1.74 at 1/3 of the subjects diagnosed sick.
Multimarkers behave better than single-to-five markers but future multimarker strategies will require systematic searches for improved saliva and plaque bacteria markers.

This is a fairly enjoyable story about a girl who is having a hard time adjusting for fourth grade. As I was reading this, I kept thinking to myself ... "no, no, don't do that ... oh, no, you did it ... ahhhh!!!" Some of the pages were pretty funny and had me laughing. I thought the teacher was too strict/tough on Mallory, though I'm not a teacher, and maybe they really do have to be so stuffy in fourth grade, who knows?!? There were some illustrations, and they had a cartoon appearance(check ou ...more

Shelves: youth
When I started reading this book, it held great promise. Overall, it was a good book. However, there was one thematic element that bothered me and would make it hard for me to recommend. The premise is that Mallory McDonald is starting 4th grade and she excited to meet her new teacher. The new teacher has certain rules and Mallory can't help herself but inadvertantly break them. That aspect of the book is great. Mallory keeps making mistakes where you want to yell at her through the book not to ...more

Step Fourth Mallory is a great book!It's about a kid who has a strict teacher and she keeps breaking the rules of her teacher.She tries giving fashion advice to her teacher and more. But it never works out! She tries a lot of strategies for her teacher to like her more, but read the rest to find out which way works for.I'm not telling you...

CANCUN, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexico scrambled to break an impasse between rich and poor nations over future cuts in greenhouse gas emissions on Friday as 190-nation climate talks went down to the wire.
"It's beginning to stack up and I am cautiously optimistic. We are in a much better situation than we were in Copenhagen at this stage of the game last year," said Chris Huhne, Britain's energy and climate change secretary.
He said that a new failure in Cancun, after last year's Copenhagen summit failed to reach a binding treaty, would reduce the U.N. climate negotiations to a "zombie process," stumbling along forever with no real hope of progress.
Delegates said there were some advances but no breakthroughs in talks in Mexico's Cancun beach resort.
"There were good discussions. The mood in the conference is very positive," Indian delegate Vijai Sharma told Reuters.
The European Union's climate chief was cautious: "There are still important areas where we do not have enough progress," said Connie Hedegaard. "If we do not get things done here in Cancun, it is very difficult to see how you will get from A to B," to a real deal.
The two-week negotiations, due to end on Friday, may well be extended into Saturday.
"It's in the hands of the Mexican presidency," John Ashe, a senior U.N. official who is chairing key discussions to try to resolve a dispute between developed and developing nations about the future of the U.N.'s existing Kyoto Protocol, told Reuters.
Negotiators have to break the impasse about Kyoto to unlock a modest deal to set up a fund to help developing nations tackle climate change, protect tropical forests and agree on a mechanism to share clean technologies.
Mexico's Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa is presiding over the two weeks of talks among more than 100 environment ministers, and is leading efforts to broker a deal.
"We have very limited time. The issues are complex. (Talks) have been running virtually without stop for many hours," said Rodrigo Brand, spokesman for the Mexican delegation.
Japan, Russia and Canada have said they will not extend Kyoto, which obliges almost 40 rich nations to cut their greenhouse gas emissions in a first period until 2012. They are insisting on a new, wider U.N. treaty in coming years with other major emitters including China, the United States and India.
Developing nations say that rich nations, which have emitted most greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution, must extend Kyoto before the poor sign up for curbs that would damage their drive to end poverty.
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan by telephone to discuss the standoff over Kyoto, agreed in the Japanese city of Kyoto in 1997. Delegates from Britain and Brazil are overseeing Kyoto talks.
Huhne said "the Japanese have been more flexible in the negotiation sessions." Delegates said that Venezuela had taken a hard-line stance in overnight talks.
The Copenhagen summit collapsed in acrimony, agreeing only a nonbinding accord to limit a rise in temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) above pre-industrial times.
Kyoto currently obliges almost 40 developed nations to cut emissions by an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels from 2008 to 2012.

During the Mad Tea Party scene right after the white rabbit's watch is smashed by the Mad Hatter the entire screen goes to black in white. It is just for a second and most people don't even notice it the first time they see it. Now that I own the movie on DVD I can find it easily.
It is directly after the watch is smashed, close up of the mallet being removed from the smashed watch, it shows a spring bouncing in the mangled watch and then cuts to a different view. That entire shot is B&W, but I have no idea why??
Is it some kind of symbolic notion to smashing a watch and time in general, or just some strange mistake? I dunno. Do you?

| Writing Thank You after Interview with Multiple Interviewers
Posted by lnomm34 on 4/3 at 10:13 pmHow do you handle the follow-up/thanks after an interview with multiple interviewers? Do you address only the highest ranking person? Email them separately? Email both the same email together?
I know this is a dumb question, I just want to make sure I do the right thing.

|Handwritten letters are not inherently the superior thank you method.
Whatever you write, please do not overkill with length. Keep any reiteration very short and sweet.

just send an e-mail. Hand written letters get thrown in the trash.

Personally, I conduct interviews for one of the top 20 IT services firms and we start a typical day right after lunch. All the interviewers have submitted their recommendations by 5pm. A handwritten note is obviously a waste of time since the hire/nohire decision is already in the bag.
But there are other situations where the hiring cycle is longer. If you're looking for a spot with a small firm it makes much more sense, but for a big firm with a well-established process the decision was probably made before you got home.

Wow, according to this link, not only do most employers prefer email (not that surprising) or phone calls (fairly surprising to me) for a thank you, only 38% even think it is appropriate to do a hand written note. That is shocking that more than 60% of employers in this survey actually put some sort of negative connotation / inappropriate label on handwritten notes. This makes me rethink some things. Whether I have been the interviewer or the interviewee I have always sent or expected a handwritten note.
Furthermore, 27% say social media is okay for the thank you (only 11% less than those who approve of the handwritten note) and 10% say a text message is appropriate (that's low, but I am still surprised that it's even that high). I would definitely have a WTF? moment if someone tried to facebook or twitter a thank you note. A linkedin message would even be a little strange to me.
HR managers also were asked, "Which of the following are appropriate methods for job applicants to thank an employer following an interview?" Their responses:
87% Email
81% Phone call
38% Handwritten note
27% Social media
10% Text message

3 of us all had the same education, experience and all of us nailed the final interview. I got the job because I emailed the lady that led the interview process - the other two mailed in notes.
Sent my email in that afternoon after the interview and that was the tiebreaker. I got the call the next morning and was working there a week later.
She disclosed all this to me my first day!
Edit - ask for their damn business cards in case you have any post interview questions. It will have their email address on it.

In fact if you don't send an email within a day of the interview most interviewers these days might just assume you aren't sending one.
ETA: Just make sure you turn off the "sent from my iphone/ipad/droid" note if you are sending it from your smartphone. It just looks tacky.

Posted by islandtiger on 4/4 at 8:39 pm to elposterI do a fair bit of interviewing and hiring upper level staff (MS/PhD) and I respond more favorably to an email. Who has time to actually open an envelope and read cursive? If you email, give it some time...give the impression that you actually gave the interview a little thought. I have received emails sent via smart phone less than 5 minutes after leaving the interview!

Posted by DrEdgeLSU on 4/4 at 9:58 pm to islandtigerI too look down on the handwritten thing. Sure, it's cute and all, but it's honestly done way after the fact. A well-worded follow up email that reiterates your interest in the job is way better than a letter that I may or may not get days after we met.
I did some interviews here at my company this week, and my mind was made up 5 minutes into the meeting. A handwritten note surely won't sway me, because for me the ship has already sailed. An email, though, could seal the deal if there are 2+ solid candidates.

I also sent a handwritten card to the main boss.
I think email is a must for the following reasons:
1. It gives immediate feedback, not only reinterating the fact that you are interested, but I got a quick response from everyone I emailed, which basically let me know I was going to get an offer. One person emailed me back saying they were looking forward to working with me.
2. It opens up the communication lines if you had any follow up questions (less awkward than a phone call).
3. It can add several contacts--if you are a strong candidate who doesn't get the job, you can follow up the thank you note with a quick email saying you were sorry it didn't work out, and politely ask to keep you in mind for any future openings in that industry (either at that company or another), and they have an easy way to get in touch with you.

This is not a hard and fast rule in modern times.
It's a nice and quaint touch to be sure, but it's not reflective of the current times.
In my current job, I didn't even get a chance for them to read my thank you.
Interview was on a Friday and was hired by phone on a Monday.

This is the route I took. I'm crossing my fingers. This was a second interview. Hopefully I made a good impression. I feel like both interviews went really well, but they have a couple of internal folks that want to apply for the job. Politics may get in my way. I hope not, I'm more what they're looking for, but you know how that stuff goes. . .
Now I wait.

Posted by islandtiger on 4/5 at 5:44 pm to dewsterI usually interview over a few days so do not usually make a decision immediately (need to contact refs, etc.) but I do know who I will NOT hire within a few minutes of starting the interview.

As I mentioned the other day, Richard Florida posted a blog entry over at the Atlantic called "The Nashville Effect," which among other things says that "[Nashville has] turned into the Silicon Valley of the music business, combining the best institutions, the best infrastructure, and the best talent." Not content to just suck up the musical talent of the world, "Nashville has become the center for multiple musical genres from country and gospel to rock and pop, attracting top talent from across the United States and the globe."
Hold the phone! Daniel Silver counters that sure, there are "multiple genres" in Nashville, but it's not really that diverse: "Nashville is still far from an omnivore's delight. It's more of a feast for those with a voracious appetite for country, Christian, acoustic, etc: after you get past those 8 genres in which Nashville specializes, you drop pretty far and pretty fast through the rest, resulting in an average rank of about 63."
For his rebuttal, Silver uses the, uh, sure-fire method of looking at band MySpace pages and collecting location and genre information. Seems a bit flawed to me. A quick perusal of local acts shows that flaw in action. Chris Crofton and the Alcohol Stuntband are "Crunk" (Nashville rank: 28), for example. (And from Outer Mongolia.) Those Darlins are "2-Step" (Nashville rank: 58). Taylor Swift is "Country" (Nashville rank: No. 1). Not exactly bulletproof.
