HomeAway – Why Work For Us?
HomeAway, Inc. based in Austin, Texas, is the world's leading online marketplace for the vacation rental industry, with sites representing over one million paid listings of vacation rental homes in 190 countries. Through HomeAway, owners and property managers offer an extensive selection of vacation homes that provide travelers with memorable experiences and benefits, including more room to relax and added privacy, for less than the cost of traditional hotel accommodations. The company also makes it easy for vacation rental owners and property managers to advertise their properties and manage bookings online. The HomeAway portfolio includes the leading vacation rental websites HomeAway.com, VRBO.com and VacationRentals.com in the United States; HomeAway.co.uk and OwnersDirect.co.uk in the United Kingdom; HomeAway.de in Germany; Abritel.fr and Homelidays.com in France; HomeAway.es and Toprural.es in Spain; AlugueTemporada.com.br in Brazil; HomeAway.com.au and Stayz.com.au in Australia; and Bookabach.co.nz in New Zealand. Asia Pacific short-term rental site, travelmob.com, is also owned by HomeAway.
HomeAway also operates BedandBreakfast.com, the most comprehensive global site for finding bed-and-breakfast properties, providing travelers with another source for unique lodging alternatives to chain hotels.
Founded by Brian Sharples and Carl Shepherd in February 2005, the idea behind HomeAway was to revolutionize the historically-fragmented vacation rental industry and establish the company as the clear market leader. The entrepreneurial spirit of the pioneers who created the very first vacation rental sites, many of which are now part of the HomeAway portfolio, fueled the early growth of the business and set the tone for the company culture that exists today.
At HomeAway we work as a team, we work hard and we're competitive, but we always make time to celebrate our successes. From peer-nominated awards for those who have exceeded expectations with a free vacation, to company parties that celebrate holidays and achievements, we strive to maintain a culture where everyone's content and proud to call HomeAway their "home away from home!"
Hear more about the growth of HomeAway from the men who started it all:
We know one of the keys to HomeAway's continued growth is our significant network. As a broader selection of vacation rentals become available on our sites, more travelers turn to HomeAway for their vacation planning. And with more travelers, comes a new wave of homeowners and managers who want to advertise with us.
Internally, our organization continues to expand to keep up with the business, growing from 87 employees in 2005 to nearly 1,200 in 2012. Here are all of the locations in which HomeAway has teams:
- Austin, Texas - World Headquarters
- Denver, Colorado
- Basalt, Colorado
- Pensacola, Florida
- Seattle, Washington
- New York, New York
- London, England
- Frankfurt, Germany
- Marseille, France
- Paris, France
- Geneva, Switzerland
- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Melbourne, Australia
- Madrid, Spain
Collaboration and communication are essential in managing our globally-dispersed team. As a result, HomeAway executives implemented a weekly all-staff meeting, known as "Table Talks" that gives employees updates on the progress of the business, addresses questions and/or concerns, and gives project managers the opportunity preview their latest accomplishments.
While there are many benefits to working at HomeAway, here are just a view of the tangible ones:
Health and Well-being
- 4 weeks paid vacation, including 10 paid holidays
- Group medical, dental and vision insurance

- Bonus plan
- 401(k)
- Quarterly individual awards based on performance - peer nominated, winners receive a $2,000 vacation

Cultural Perks

- Two paid time off volunteer days

The HomeAway World Headquarters is located in downtown Austin, Texas. Employees love the proximity to restaurants, bars and retail — especially to the unofficial company cafeteria, the Whole Foods Market flagship store. The office space is also situated off of Lady Bird Lake, which has a fantastic hike and bike trail.
HomeAway's four-story, 86,000-square-foot, mixed-use building was awarded Gold-level LEED certification in April 2010 for its use of eco-friendly materials. The design is vacation-themed and features a giant replica of the birdhouse from the HomeAway logo. Here are just a few of the other highlights of our unique workspace:
The Birdhouse
The Lobby
Postcards from destinations far and wide line the walls around the elevators and make up an art piece created by HomeAway CEO Brian Sharples, giving the lobby a unique look that epitomizes travel. Oh and that's Kelly, our friendly receptionist.
The Roof Top Deck
More than just a place to get some fresh air, the HomeAway Rooftop Deck provides employees and guests a unique perspective of the Austin skyline. The deck comes complete with a top-of-the-line grill for summer fun and a fireplace for the rare cold nightss
The Office
With the Texas sunshine flooding the office space throughout the building, it's not hard to feel energized and ready to start your day. The open, newsroom-style cubicles were designed to encourage group interaction and the imagery on the frosted glass reflects the theme of each floor &mdash mountains, cities or beaches.
This Nantucket-themed game room lets employees take a break and unwind. The "Boardwalk" includes a ping pong table, dart board, foosball table and video games!
With a name like "Everest," you know serious business happens here. Highlights of our executive boardroom include a birdhouse chandelier and artwork created by CEO Brian Sharples.
The Snow Globe Collection
What began as a pipe dream to build the world's largest snow globe collection became a goodwill effort that connected the 10 (at the time) HomeAway offices around the world. Each of the more than 500 unique snow globes that decorate the office halls represents a $50 donation to a deserving charity.

The company culture is really great. They genuinely care about their employees, and put a lot of effort into making it a fun place to work. The industry itself is an exciting one to work in, and HomeAway is clearly the leader in the category.Cons
With as fast as HomeAway is moving, it can be very slow to move the chain on projects. Project life cycles seem to be longer and longer each year, and the alignment between offices globally seems to always be off.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

keep dumping
This damn stock is really unpredictable
Selling resumes?
down regardless of market performance
very frustrating
Never know how it's going to perform each day
like a dead stock
what's the big deal? It always bounced back
With the stock price at 52-week lows and pretty decent earnings, how's Sina today worse than 3 months, 6 months, a year ago?
see what I mean.
This stock is a disgrace
this is one hopeless stock
like a sinking ship
This is one hopeless stock with inert management team that does not care about shareholders' interests. That's why that's so much dumping going on.
Better run, this stock is done.
Market down, Qihu down. Market up, Qihu still down. No hope.
its performance tells it all
This stock deserves to be dumped. Management is practically useless.

Adaptation of Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan acquired for theatrical distribution
BY admin
November 06 2004 1:00 AM ET
Lions Gate Films has acquired North American theatrical and pay-TV distribution rights to A Good Woman, the film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play Lady Windermere's Fan, starring Helen Hunt. A Good Woman, which had its world premiere at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, was directed by Mike Barker (To Kill a King) and written by Howard Himelstein. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson and Tom Wilkinson. Against a backdrop of New York and the Italian Riviera in the 1930s, Hunt plays a woman--with a reputation for entertaining wealthy, married men--who becomes involved in a family scandal. "Mike Barker and this cast deliver one of the best Wilde adaptations in years," said Tom Ortenberg, president of Lions Gate Films Releasing, in a statement. "The audience reaction at the Toronto premiere made me confident that this film has a winning combination of humor and drama, played out onscreen by some of the best actors working today."

Top 5 worst/resistant plants Japanese beetles
I'm new to the forum, thought this would be fun and helpful. I recently moved to a new house, blank slate and would like to avoid some of those dreaded beetle favorite plants. I think it raises my blood pressure walking in my garden and seeing hoards of those beetles devouring my plants. Let's start a thread listing 5 plants that you rarely see them on and also list 5 that is their favorites in your yard and would be hesitant to plant again.
My yard Beetle favorites (zone 5)
1. Alpine currant
2. Purple leaf sand cherry
3. Young white himaylian birch
4. Hollyhock
5. Linden tree
Beetle resistant
1. Coral bells
2. Clematis
3. Magnolia
4. Redbud
5. Austrian pine
Can't wait to see everyone's lists.
hey willow.. welcome ....
this forum is pretty dead .... but for bug and disease questions ...
and since you are new.. may i suggest.. yours is actually a plant question ... and you might get more participation in the perennial and/or annual forums ... though those are kinda dead this time of year also ... lol ..
i dont care where you post.. i am just trying to get you to optimize your GW experience ...
interesting.. i have never had a JB problem on alpine current ... hmmmm ....
ps: next to your name in the post.. where it says 'none' .. try to get to your members page.. and add zone and big city .... or peeps will be asking you every post ... e.g. something like z5 Ann Arbor ....
Ken....you are soooo off base. I could just pinch your head off. Willow, this forum is perfect for a discussion about JBs and their habits. Same for those other forums, but this one is probably the most suitable.
And it's a good subject, too. People could make their lives a lot easier if they gave some thought to plant selection regarding pest damage.
I'm happy to report that we have carefully avoided most of the usual ornamental plants so attractive to these pesky beetles! As a matter of fact, JBs are the reason why we didn't even consider some of the plants on your list.
It's the veggies that will become beetle food in my yard. In a bad year, the damage can be terrible. Some years ago, I started to apply 'Surround ', a totally organic product consisting of kaolin clay. A couple of coats does a great job of protecting my veggies from many pests, and from heat and sun scald, too. Looks funny, though. Not ideal for ornamentals because of that.
In my yard, here are five plants these pests avoid :
1. All of my conifers
2. Daylilies (all varieties)
3. Angelonia
4. Spirea (we have a dwarf variety, can't recall the cultivar right now)
5. Lantana
And many more.....:-)
Thanks for the great topic and I hope you'll be back often. This is a slow time of year, but it'll be jumping in a few weeks.
Thanks rhizo 1, we will be putting in a vegetable garden probably next year, I will make note of that product called surround, if I'm not mistaken my hair conditioner contains kaolin clay, wierd at least the jb won't fly near my head, hehe
Anyways keep the lists coming
that was the list.. from the snarky one.. maybe kimmr will chime in.. and that is your whole audience..
hence the suggestion if you want to talk with more than the 3 of us.. you seek other people in other places .. or do it here.. i really have no vested interest in your audience ....
i continue to be amazed at how rude some people are.. when all that was suggested.. was that a newbie open her horizon a bit.. and try other forums ...
rhiz... please dont threaten me again ... go pinch some bugs heads off ...
really ???? you are down to physical threats?????
Aw, you usually have such a good sense of humor. I COULD have suggested a wedgie, but I figured that you might take me seriously if I said that.
I am sorry for upsetting you, truly. (But I still want to pinch your head off, sometimes, lol.)

Intel, which introduced its quad-core chips last year, has been releasing a slew of new desktop, server and mobile-computer products, while dropping prices on older models. Besides keeping pressure on AMD, the strategy has also taken its toll on Intel. The company on Tuesday reported a 44% jump in profits to $1.28 billion, but lower-than-expected gross margins. Revenues increased 8% to $8.7 billion.
Meanwhile, market researcher iSuppli reported Tuesday that AMD managed to stabilize its market share in the second quarter, following six months of losses to Intel. The firm estimates that AMD accounted for 11.4% of worldwide microprocessor sales, up half a percentage point from the first quarter. AMD's market share had fallen to 10.9% in the first quarter from 16.8% in the third quarter 2006.
Intel, meanwhile, lost a half-point in the second quarter, falling to 80.3% from 80.8%. The drop ended a major resurgence in market-share during the prior two quarters, iSuppli said.
A strong worldwide PC market helped sales for AMD and Intel. Gartner has said PC shipments were up 11.7% in the second quarter, and rival International Data Corp. has pegged the increase at 12.5%.
AMD provided few details in its third-quarter forecasts, saying it expects revenue "to increase in line with seasonality."

it's probably a sansevieria patens, a prolific pup forming plant. other than that, i could only name a few varieties that may look closer to the plant that i have like s. downsii, which does grow much larger and not form pups as fast, and s. caulescens with the same growing habit but identical appearance.
(just too many cultivars and extensive hybrids that may look alike)
It might help if we knew from whom you got the plant. It's clearly of the suffruticosa group - as are paten (aka Ed Eby), gracilis, downsii and several others. I can't say I've ever reliably seen a S gracilis although I have a couple that seem to fit the description.
for comparison, here's a s. downsii sitting on the biggest pot in the group, which was bought as a small plant for 6$ and a s. caulescens on the far right for 3$ more or less.
(downsii can grow as tall as 7 feet without including the flower spike of course and probably taller in tropical condition as far as i know.)
the photo is taken a few months ago and the plants are far more larger now.
keylyn-was noticing that you know what you paid for yours. I keep a spread sheet of my succulents but I never thought about putting how much I paid for them. I'm now trying to decide if that is something I want to keep a record of. I don't lose too many sans. but the others I do. Maybe somethings just should not be recorded ;-)
I keep a record of any and all plants I buy or is given. Where, Who, When, and how much. Every year I can see that I spend way too much on plants. I keep this file secret from my wife who suspects as much. It is a spreadsheet where I can add pictures as well. Helps with a aging memory. Got a record from 1988 on. Boy did I spend a lot!! Wish I didn't have this hobby.
a lot worse hobbies!
When I come home with a bunch of plants my husband asks me if I'm happy and of course I say "yes!"
I like that you can add pictures. I look at some of those names and think what in the world is that!
On my spreadsheet I have the botanical name...common name if it has one, hardiness temp, light conditions (like I pay attention to THAT), date of purchase, where I purchased and family name because I enter some in a "flower show".
boy this thread got off topic
possibly, money is in low supply here and it's always rewarding whenever i grow a particular plant i bought for a reasonable price.
and also for price comparison since plant can go from 1$-50$ here.
it helps a lot for an individual like me who could channel the most joy out of little money i have.
I know what you mean. My money is in low supply also, that's why it is so upsetting to see it wasted. Some buys as stated are bargains and you feel great about them while some were expensive and ending up dying. Any body can buy a big beautiful plant, but to buy a dying one and bring it to live and robust, that says a lot.
I've been known to buy larger plants but generally will buy small. Luckily at Tropiflora they sometimes have many sizes. I saw an agave I really liked in the field but I couldn't afford it (like NO WAY!) but he had a small one I could MOL afford-hehe!
I also belong to a local Cactus and Succulent society and we have raffles and swaps there. Enablers abound there :-)

Linux and the Alpha
Ever since its announcement in the Fall of 1991, the Alpha architecture (see Reference 3) has been the foundation of the world's fastest systems. In fact, except for one or two brief blips, Alpha systems have been the highest-performing systems based on single-CPU SPECmark performance. With this outstanding performance record comes marketing hype and, sometimes, unrealistic expectations. It is not all that uncommon to find e-mail messages or USENET articles saying things like: "I heard the Alpha is so fast, but now I find that my dusty deck is just 10% faster on the Alpha than on the other system." So what's the truth? The honest answer is that it depends on what you're doing. Alpha systems are without a doubt fast machines, but it is unreasonable to expect that taking a dusty deck and running it on an Alpha will result in the best possible performance. This is particularly true for programs that were written with the mind-set of the eighties, when CPU cycles were at a premium and memory bandwidth was abundant. Reality looks quite different today: CPU clock-rates above 150MHz are the rule and even laptops can run at 200MHz or more. The result is that, today, the memory system—and not the CPU—is often the first-order bottleneck.
In part 2 of this article, we will demonstrate a few simple techniques that help avoid the memory system bottleneck. Except for one case, the focus is on integer-intensive applications. The topic of optimizing floating-point intensive applications is certainly just as important but, unfortunately, well beyond the scope of this series. The techniques presented can result in tremendous performance improvements. While the techniques will be helpful for all modern systems, they normally extract the biggest benefits on Alpha-based machines. There are a couple of reasons for this bias.
One, the Alpha architecture has been designed with longevity in mind. Specifically, the Alpha architecture should be good for the next 15-25 years, which corresponds roughly to a 1000-fold increase in overall performance. For this reason, some design-tradeoffs were made in favor of long-term viability rather than short-term benefits. For example, the Alpha was right from the start a 64-bit architecture, even though, at the time of its announcement, 32-bit address spaces were considered comfortably large.
Two, the current Alpha implementations are designed to achieve high performance by pushing clock frequency to the limit. This means the CPU-to-memory-system performance gap is the largest for Alpha-based systems. For example, suppose a memory access takes 100ns. On a 500MHz Alpha CPU, this corresponds to 50 clock cycles. In contrast, on a 250MHz CPU, this is only 25 cycles. So the relative performance penalty of accessing memory is much higher on a CPU with higher clock speeds. This may sound like a bad thing, but since the absolute performance is the same, what this really means is that a fast-clock CPU system that is running a memory-bound application will be about as fast as a slower-clock system, but when running a memory-wise application, it will be much faster.
In this part of the series, I present a brief overview of existing and upcoming Alpha implementations. While it is not usually necessary to optimize for a specific CPU, it is helpful to know what the characteristics of current CPUs and systems are. I also discuss a couple of simple performance analysis tools that are available under Linux. When porting legacy code to modern systems, such tools are invaluable, since they avoid wasting time trying to optimize rarely executed code.
So far, the Alpha CPU family tree spans three generations; it all began with the 21064 chip. At the time of its introduction, it was the highest performing CPU, and it still makes for a nice workstation, though it's no longer competitive with the latest generation CPUs. This chip branched off into a version that was called the "Low-Cost Alpha" (LCA), also known as 21066 or 21068. The chip core was identical to the 21064 but it had an integrated memory and PCI-bus controller. This high integration made it possible to build Alpha-based systems at relatively low cost and for the embedded systems market. Unfortunately, the design had a major weakness—the memory system was seriously under-powered. This created the paradoxical situation in which a system based on this chip performed on some applications on average, no better than a 100MHz Pentium, but outperformed a P6 running at 200MHz. As a result, the reaction to this chip varied greatly, and probably resulted in quite a few disappointed customers for Digital. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the low-cost at which 21066-based systems eventually were sold caused a quantum leap in the number of Linux/Alpha users.
Around June 1994, the 21164 chip was announced. It had dramatically improved performance over the 21064 and was the first, and so far only, Alpha CPU to feature a three-level cache hierarchy. The first and second-level caches were both on-chip and only the third-level cache was on the motherboard. This chip, in slightly improved versions, is still going strong. At the Fall 1996 Comdex in Las Vegas, such a chip, coupled with a liquid cooling system, was demonstrated running at 767MHz. Another version, called 21164PC, is scheduled to become available around Spring 1997. It omits the relatively expensive second-level, on-chip cache but adds multi-media extensions and other performance-enhancing features. As the name indicates, this chip is designed to be price-competitive with PC processors, specifically the forthcoming Intel Klamath (an improved P6). While price-competitive, the 21164PC is supposed to deliver over 50% better performance than the Klamath. For this second-generation, low-cost Alpha implementation, it certainly looks like Digital and its co-designer Mitsubishi are not going to repeat the mistakes of the past. The 21164PC promises to be cheap and fast.
If you happen to have a deep pocket or want to take a glance at what PC processors might look like in two or three years, the 21264 might be of interest. It is scheduled to become available in high-end machine during the second half of 1997. With this chip, CPU performance is expected to take another giant leap. Current estimates call for a performance level that is three to four times faster than the fastest CPUs available today.
Between each major chip generation, there are typically "half-generation" CPUs which have improvements that derive primarily from a shrink of the chip manufacturing process. For example, the 21064 chip was followed by the 21064A, and similarly, the 21164 was followed by the 21164A. In the former case, the core of the chip remained virtually identical to the 21064, but the primary caches doubled in size from 8KB to 16KB. In the latter case, instructions for byte and word accesses were added and the maximum clock frequency increased from 333 to 500MHz.
A summary of the performance attributes of the current Alpha chip family is presented in Table 1.

are there attractive covers for yard hydrant?
We are installing two new self-draining outdoor faucets(Home Depot calls them yard hydrants, they are a steel pipe that goes two feet into the ground, four feet above ground, with a lifting handle on top that when you lift it with the water off, the water in the pipe drains from the bottom of the pipe so it will not freeze). One will be near by raised flower beds so I will not have to constantly be dragging the hose back and forth. Are there any kind of alternative handles for these(such as a brass fitting that is easier to look at than the industrial handle that is on the faucet)? I have been unable to find anything.
Here's my 2 cents: Probably just about anything you do to the hydrant (except maybe covering it with one of those giant fake rocks or hiding it behind shrubs) is just going to draw attention to it. Personally, I'd just leave it as-is and most people will probably not even notice it.
"leave it as-is" I will probably do that. I have another one in the lower garden and I never give it a second glance. Once I had a brass grouse on an outdoor faucet which looked rather cute and if I could find something similar for this I would get it but after talking with my husband about the operating system of the selfdraining faucet, I doubt the top handle could be replaced.

In all the debate about the greenspace in Walsall, and the approach of our civic leaders towards this valuable asset, one comment made by a reader here stuck in many minds. I personally found it jarring, and somewhat misguided.
