Anonymous Interview
interviewed at 33Across in September 2012.
Awesome people. HR guy clearly knows his product in and out and loves it. Says a lot about the company if HR is that gassed up about what's happening.
Phone screen was reasonable, comprehensive, and top notch. Not a lot of canned HR questions which tend to annoy folks like me.
- Honestly, nothing too difficult came up. They fired a shot about salary on the first call which is always unexpected, but they didn't press when I sort of indicated I wanted whatever was budgeted. Answer Question

Updated:Jun 17,2014

As a senior in college at Graceland University, Paige Webberly was on track to her dream of becoming a doctor. She had good grades, a double major in biology and chemistry, and a work ethic to match.

Safety. It's a topic of discussion for school leaders everywhere. With violent acts and threats of violence continuing to make the headlines, administrators are looking for ways to help ensure parents, staff and students feel secure.
A feeling of celebration was in the air during opening day at the Clark County Fair Friday morning. Whether it was to brave one of the stomach-turning rides, watch the new traveling sea lion exhibit, feast on fair food or just have fun, people came out in force for "Summer's Best Party." By 10 a.m., many of the parking lots were full and people waited in lines for some of the more popular rides.

Amanda Bachelder has always loved the vintage look. Clad in a flowing white shirt, jeans, hand-painted boots and toting a custom tool box with bejeweled handle, she looks very much the part of modern mixed with yesterday. "I fell in love with the shabby chic look," she said. "I would buy furniture at garage sales, and paint layers of white paint for that look. I love that style."
Donna Hargrave gazes at the house and surrounding property at the corner of Northeast Everett Street and 23rd Avenue. To the untrained eye, it appears to be little more than an old blue farmhouse and shop building, with grass that needs trimming.
Students, parents and staff of Gause Elementary School had an opportunity to "visit" with famous people from history such as Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg, Jane Goodall, Jackie Robinson and Milton Hersey.

"Stop Vandalism!"
He sprayed on the clean white wall.
"You wanna try the music?", She grabbed my hand and led me to the next room. I could feel the lights on my face and bass in my ears. There was a lot of blue and I liked it.
We sat down. I could feel it running through my nerves. I felt the tranquility regardless how loud the music was. It was good to have a hand to hold, and I liked the blue light.
I could feel nothing but happiness. No African kids died from starvation and ISIS wasn't killing anyone, no airplanes went missing, It was a perfect world.
It was extremely peaceful, everybody took care of each other. There was love. The gleaming lights kept falling on my face. Nobody was worrying about assignments or ex boyfriends or unilateral love. Everything was perfect and I was rising above the clouds with no turbulence.
I stood in the center of the room feeling lighter and lighter. Still having the blue light on my face, I smiled.
I was in nirvana with her by my side,
it was beautiful.
"Is she your girlfriend?", The barista asked me, pouring the milk foam on the cappuccino, resembling a heart shape.
"Yeah" I said,
"But In a perfect parallel universe where everything happens as we wish."
He smirked and turned the heart in to a mickey mouse.
Why do men watch porn.
I have this friend who comes up with the most random questions on earth. And yesterday she came up with this. I goggled, Realized it doesn't help much either. So for the sake of all the healthy relationships in this world and guys not getting judged, I thought I should write about this. Let's start.
So porn, sexually explicit media content was invented shortly after the moving picture was invented in 1748 (Google 'Fanny Hill' if you like more information) Which apparently has a pretty long history. If you have watched Don Jon, (If you haven't here's what the plot says "A New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love.") the whole movie is based on men and porn but here it's an addiction in a weird way.
Nonetheless, the whole point of the movie is when the guy thinks that porn is actually better than sex which is quite arguable and which I'm not gonna talk about but, ask any teenage boy who has a proper teenage and he will tell you, porn is good.
So when kids becomes teenagers , their curiosity mostly lead them here. Why? Because it's the most innocent way to fulfill their sexual desires. It's the easiest way to do, no cost, no risk you just have to close your room door and search. So the early teens watching explicit content can be justified to a certain extent, it's their hormones. I mean true there was a time that they watched 'The bold and the beautiful' or 'Fashion House' Or even 'Spartacus' but well it's the 21st century now. Everyone has internet.
Moving on to the single men, why do they watch porn? Answer is pretty obvious. They are freaking single and the high testosterone levels need to be taken care of.
It's fun, it would be like watching a soccer game or a basketball game or baseball. In soccer, it's the repetition, but there comes climax. Everybody kicks the ball, goalie catches the ball, maybe there would be a penalty shoot out. After all we know it ends up in the same way, one team wins. So the exact thing happens when men watch porn. Men don't get bored with it. It comes with their nature. If you wonder why they never eat popcorn along with it. Well, god should have created more hands.
Here comes the confusing part. Why do men who's taken watch porn? First reason comes again, it's fun. No matter you're married or not you still enjoy a soccer match in the same way.
2nd, girls, you aren't there when we need you. We fight, there are silent treatments, period and what not.
3rd , it's not demanding and you don't feel responsible for it. You don't have to go through hours of seduction to move to the 2nd base or convince her over and over that this is not just a hook up. You don't need to go down on them to go down on you. You know it's not gonna knock on your door in 9 months with a kid.
You just turn it on and get straight to the job, less trouble. More over, porn makes impossible, possible. You can get laid in your imagination with all the blondes, brunettes, Latinos, Asians, Africans, trannies and what not. You can be on orgies, ladies nights with male strippers, Cleopatra's bed, on top of the Eiffel tower etc.
But ladies, just because your boyfriend watches group sex, doesn't mean he's gonna have it. Just because he watches a sportsman's double, doesn't mean he's gonna hit on your mom. So if you find out that he does watch porn, don't go all haywire about it. Try something new, watch together.
Either way, Just because you don't watch porn, it doesn't mean you're a saint and because you do, doesn't mean you're a sinner. It's just an innocent way of men dealing with hormones.
Why do women don't watch porn? I don't know but I'd love to hear why.
But after all, porn is like getting drunk. After you throw up, you know it wasn't worth it.
(That's how my previous article ended. and let me rephrase, "Porn is like getting drunk. Even if you throw up, its still worth it. ")

An in-line, distributed optical fiber filter comprises a core region with a raised refractive index (with respect to the surrounding cladding material) so as to allow for total internal reflection (TIR) of the desired transmission wavelength(s). One or more raised index features are formed within the cladding region and are configured so as to result in mode mixing between the cladding mode and core mode at determined wavelength(s) to be removed by filtering. The parameters associated with determining the proper core specifications and cladding specifications can be separately determined to provide for enhanced performance in terms of both filtering unwanted signals and propagation of desired communication signals.
1. An optical fiber filter for removing light of at least one predetermined noise wavelength from a fiber core, the fiber filter comprising

The present invention relates to an all-fiber optical filter and, more particularly, to an all-fiber optical filter comprising selective arrangements of core and cladding material to provide for wavelength-selective filtering, helpful in reducing amplified spontaneous emission (ASE).
Optical fiber systems are known to be sensitive to a variety of different sources of �optical noise� (extraneous signals at wavelengths other than the desired wavelength(s)) that result in impairing the system performance. Various types of filtering arrangements have been proposed through the years to address this problem. Discrete filtering elements (incorporating multiple thin film layers) have been used to remove selected wavelengths from propagating along the fiber. While such discrete filters may be able to reduce the accumulated noise power, they may not sufficiently reduce other system impairments, such as power lost due to noise amplification. Going forward, a distributed, in-line fiber filter is considered to be a more desirable solution than the use of discrete devices, especially for amplifier applications where splice losses, power lost to noise amplification, etc. can effect overall amplifier performance.
Bragg gratings may be formed within the core region of the transmission fiber as one such type of in-line fiber filter to �reflect� selected wavelengths and prevent further propagation of undesirable signal components. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,717,799 issued to A. Robinson on Feb. 10, 1998, describing the use of a Bragg grating, where the grating is particularly configured to be chirped and apodized to improve the filter qualities. While various in-line arrangements have been successful in providing some filtering, reflection gratings are problematic for in-line filtering in amplifiers, since reflections can lead to unwanted oscillations or lasing at the noise wavelengths. Reflecting gratings can be used as discrete filters, but then do not give the advantages of distributed filtering that are important to the present invention. U.S. Pat. No. 6,141,142 issued to R. P. Espindola et al. on Oct. 31, 2000 discusses an example of a fiber amplifier employing distributed filtering. In this case, filtering is provided by tilted (�blazed�) gratings, instead of reflection Bragg gratings. While some distributed filter embodiments can provide effective filtering, this method requires additional processing steps in fiber fabrication, and restricts the dopant profile of the fiber to those with appropriate photosensitivity.
Thus, a need remains in the prior art for an arrangement that provides optical filtering with enhanced wavelength selectivity, preferably using an in-line, distributed, all-fiber arrangement that eliminates the need to include discrete devices in the optical communication system.
The need remaining in the prior art is addressed by the present invention, which relates to an all-fiber optical filter and, more particularly, to an all-fiber, distributed optical filter comprising selective arrangements of core and cladding material to provide for wavelength-selective filtering that reduces amplified spontaneous emission (ASE).
In accordance with the present invention, a core region of the transmission fiber is configured to have a �raised index� value (that is, the core region is formed to exhibit a refractive index greater than that of the adjacent clad region), while selected areas in the surrounding cladding area are configured to form �features� that also exhibit a raised refractive index (with respect to the majority of the remaining cladding material). The index of the core is raised to provide a difference in refractive index between the cladding and the core such that the selected (desired) wavelengths will remain confined within the core region. Additionally, by careful choice of the refractive index values and physical properties of the raised-index cladding features, selective wavelength filtering may be obtained. The unwanted (filtered) wavelengths will �leak� out of the core and then guided into the cladding, away from the propagating signal path.
It is an aspect of the present invention that the parameters of the core and the cladding may be individually tailored to provide the desired wavelength sensitivity (i.e., �decoupling� the core parameters from the cladding parameters). That is, the core diameter and index value may be determined to allow for optimum propagation of the desired wavelength(s). The cladding raised index features are separately defined, in terms of physical design, location, passband values, stopband values, etc. to provide the desired filtering properties.
The cladding raised index features may comprise any desired geometry, such as one or more rings, �holes�, etc. and are formed using any preferred techniques associated with the formation of optical fiber preforms. In some cases, microstructured optical fibers may be used. Alternatively, MCVD techniques can be used to form one or more concentric �rings� of cladding material exhibiting a higher refractive index.
Other and further features, advantages and embodiments of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following discussion and by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to the drawings,
As mentioned above, there are a variety of different optical systems that can be improved, in terms of performance, by the application of wavelength-selective filtering to the signals propagating along the system optical fiber. In particular, �optical noise� can be reduced by selectively removing signals at certain wavelengths from propagating along the fiber. In accordance with the present invention, an all-fiber optical filter has been developed that exhibits separate cladding modes and core modes in the pass band(s) of interest, but exhibits only mixed core-cladding modes in the stop band(s). Mode mixing leads to reduced overall transmission via reduced gain and/or increased losses within the core region as a result of the signal coupling into the cladding region. An all-fiber filter formed in accordance with the present invention is based upon the following design principles: (1) a raised-index core region that guides light (propagating at desired wavelength(s)) primarily by total internal reflection (TIR), and (2) the inclusion of raised-index features in the cladding that are particularly configured to �guide� selected cladding modes. At wavelengths where the cladding modes are sufficiently index matched with a core mode, the modes will mix and light will �spill� into the cladding instead of being well-contained within the core. Once in the cladding, this light may be further lost from the system by radiation, absorption, or other processes. These wavelengths are thus defined as the stop band(s) of the filter design and can be controlled by manipulating various properties of the raised-index cladding features, such as (but not limited to) the selected refractive index value, the number of included features, the size of the individual features, placement of the features, etc.
The distributed, all-fiber filter of the present invention is considered to be particularly well-suited for fiber amplifier applications. In conventional fiber amplifiers, splice losses and power lost to noise amplification have been found to affect amplifier performance. By having the ability to selectively filter (reduce gain/increase loss) of signals propagating at known �noise� wavelengths, the overall amplifier performance will improve, as evidenced by lower total noise power, improved noise figure, or better power efficiency in converting pump power to desired signal power. One measure of good filter performance is a high extinction ratio�the ratio of loss at the noise wavelength to loss at the desired signal wavelength. Indeed, it is possible to provide a loss at a noise wavelength that is at least a factor of five greater than the loss at the desired signal wavelength (with a difference between the noise and signal wavelengths being less than 20%). The core-guided mode can experience large positive gain, or negative dispersion, for wavelengths near an index crossing point, with the dispersion controlled by proper design of the fiber.
In accordance with the present invention, therefore, by careful design and choice of the cladding feature geometry, refractive index value, location, etc., the wavelengths that are removed by filtering can be �fine-tuned� to well-defined values. Indeed, it is possible to form a �notch� filter, with wavelengths on either side of a defined �noise� wavelength being allowed to propagate along the core of the fiber. When the effective index of the core mode comes close to the index of the cladding modes, index-matched mode mixing will occur, and light will spill out into the cladding, instead of being well-confined within the core.
It is to be understood that the filtering properties associated with the selective inclusion of high-index material in the cladding of the inventive fiber can be further enhanced by using well-known techniques such as (but not limited to) mechanical deformations in the form of macrobending the fiber, microbending, twisting the fiber, incorporating gratings in the fiber, as well as the inclusion of absorptive or scattering materials in the fiber.
It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative of only a few of the many possible specific embodiments which can represent applications of the principles of the invention. Numerous and varied other arrangements can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Barack Obama, the US president, has landed at a US Air Force base outside Seoul, South Korea's capital, amid growing signs that its northern neighbour is preparing for a nuclear test.Obama offered personal condolences to his counterpart Park Geun-Hye over the country's recent ferry tragedy, but North Korea was expected to dominate the agenda.
Satellite photos taken two days ago showed additional activity at North Korea's Punggye-ri test site that is "probably related to preparations for a detonation", the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University said.
The report, cited by the AFP news agency, echoed recent warnings from South Korea that the North might be planning a test to coincide with Obama's two-day visit.
Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcet, reporting from Seoul, said indications that North Korea was preparing for a nuclear test had come out regularly in the past couple of weeks.
North Korea has engaged in provocative actions for the last several decades. It's been an irresponsible actor on the international stage for the last several decades
US President Barack Obama.
He said the South Korean defence ministry had been monitoring increased activity at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site, adding that a "detonation could perhaps be imminent".
If Pyongyang presses ahead with its fourth nuclear test it would be a clear challenge to Obama's bid to cement Washington's role as a Pacific power.
Obama offered South Korea heartfelt condolences for its "incredible loss" as the country struggles to come to terms with the sinking of a vessel packed with schoolchildren.
He also said it may be time to consider further sanctions against North Korea "that have even more bite".The two leaders bowed their heads in a moment of silence, and Obama handed Park the US flag which had flown over the White House on the day the ferry sank on April 16 as a gesture of respect from the American people.
"I'm very mindful that my visit comes at a time of mourning for the people of this nation," Obama said before talks with Park at the presidential Blue House.'Provocative actions'
The president's four-nation Asian tour began in Tokyo, where he urged China to rein in North Korea, saying Beijing had a "critically important" role to play in defusing tensions on the volatile peninsula.
"North Korea has engaged in provocative actions for the last several decades," he said. "It's been an irresponsible actor on the international stage for the last several decades.
"They are the most isolated country in the world. They are subject to more international sanctions and international condemnation than any country in the world."In an interview ahead of his arrival in Seoul, Obama warned North Korea could expect a "firm response" if it made "the mistake" of conducting another nuclear test.
Pyongyang, for its part, slammed Obama's trip earlier this week as a "dangerous" move that would escalate military tension and bring the "dark clouds of a nuclear arms race" over the Korean peninsula.
Adding to the tense mix was the news that a South Korean naval vessel had fired warning shots after two North Korean patrol boats crossed the disputed maritime border on Friday. The boats quickly retreated.Increased movement
North Korea watchers have puzzled over whether the test preparations they have seen via spy satellites are real, or bravado aimed at stealing the limelight during the US president's tour.
But the latest images suggested increased movement of vehicles and materials near what are believed to be the entrances to two completed test tunnels, the US-Korea institute said on its closely followed 38 North website.
Also visible were probable command and control vehicles intended to provide secure communications between the test site and other facilities.North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.
The 38 North analysis noted that preparations for the test in February last year had peaked two or three days before detonation.

LOOKING for: broccoli and potato soup
The other day I was visiting my daughter and we went to this sweet little place for lunch. She said they always try to serve a vegetarian soup. This day they had broccolli and potato. It was delicious. It was creamed, but I would love to make a lighter version.
Does anyone have a recipe for above soup?
Thank you,
You want a broth based broccoli and potato soup?...No milk cheese or cream?
I have never done this because I don't care for potatoes in any soup but potato leek soup...but.
I would cut up 2 small onions...wash and cut into florets and peel and chunk up the stem of 2 stalks of broccoli and 3 or 4 potatoes depending on the size.
I would spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with EVOO and salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder and roast for 20 to 25 minutes at 375...then I would add the broccoli and turn the potatoes over and roast for another 20 minutes.
Then dump the roasted veggies into your soup pot and add 3 or 4 cups of good chicken broth and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.
With just broth and potatoes and broccoli you don't have much to add flavor to the soup...so roasting the veggies would help a lot. Other wise you just have boiled potatoes and broccoli...not very appetising in my opinion.

In most zoos and animal parks, polar bears (ursus maritimus) attract such a disproportionate amount of attention that they are referred to in the industry as "charismatic megafauna," or in other words, "really cool animals." Perhaps it is because it is especially rare for the average zoo-goer to happen upon a polar bear in the wild, or because they live in such an inhospitable environment. Perhaps it's just because polar bears are so damn cute.

The newly reported Saadanius hijazensis may or may not be a "missing link" but in order for this monkey to climb onto the primate family tree, a new branch had to be sprouted.

We've got ourselves a floor. Where is James Leaky Faucet to value the patents at 1/2 billion, and slap a 8 dollar price tag on our beloved blackberry?
I'm not sure I'd bet on Blackberry based upon a simple extrapolation of $ per patent. I mean really..... "BlackBerry maintains roughly 5,136 patents, to get to our $2.25B number"
In the case of the Nortel patents, the bidders were really interested in ones that related to 4G mobile broadband tech. In other words, they could have purchased a box of rusty bolts to get one golden spoon.
Does Blackberry have a golden spoon or are there a bunch of patents for physical keyboards, half-screen displays and an OS that nobody wants.

John Page Classic, a new guitar brand, announces the Ashburn, its initial production model.
The Guitar Drum gives players an elevated pad for bass sounds or can serve as a scratch plate.
The capo is to guitars what sugar — or Stevia, if you prefer — is to food. It makes everything sweeter. Musicians started noticing the capo's inherent song-sweetening properties sometime in the early 17th century, when primitive versions of the handy accessory were employed to raise the pitch of a host of fretted instruments.
Over the weekend, Fleetwood Mac announced the cancellation of the Australia and New Zealand legs of their current tour. The reason? John McVie, the band's bassist and co-founder, is being treated for cancer.
Legendary Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham will release his first solo acoustic live album, Lindsey Buckingham: One Man Show, tomorrow, November 13. But today, we're excited to be teaming up with Buckingham to premiere the second track on the album, a stirring rendition of "Bleed to Love Her," which first appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1997 live album, The Dance.
Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac will be released August 14 by Hear Music/Concord.
Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham -- whose latest solo album, Seeds We Sow, was released last September -- has announced a new round of solo tour dates beginning May 3 in Solana Beach, California, and concluding May 21 in Spokane, Washington.
Bob Weston, a former Fleetwood Mac guitarist, was found dead on January 3 by police at his home in London. He was 64. The news was announced Friday via a note by Steve Fairhead on Weston's official website.
There's "The Big Machine" and "The Little Machine," according to Lindsey Buckingham, the creative force behind the juggernaut edition of Fleetwood Mac. No need to identify the Big Machine. The Little Machine is his humble description of his solo career, which is heating up as the weather cools. His first self-released album, Seeds We Sow, dropped on Sept. 6, three days before he kicked off a 31-city North American tour in Reno, Nevada.
Seeds We Sow, the sixth solo album by legendary Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, came out today, September 6, via his own label, Buckingham Records. Also out today is the new music video for "In Our Own Time," a song off the new album.
Lindsey Buckingham, the longtime Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer, is offering a new song, "Seeds We Sow," as a free digital download. The song is the title track from his forthcoming sixth solo album, Seeds We Sow, which will be released Sept. 6.

Gesso Questions....
This is my first time using gesso. For those who are experienced with it....do you really have to wait 24 hours for it to dry and paint on it? And how many coats do you usually put on. Is one generally sufficient? I am painting on metal. Any other tips welcomed. ~Anj
Depending on what kind of metal, maybe you should first use a metal primer. As for the gesso, 2 coats is the way to go. Apply the first coat, let dry thoroughly and then the second. You can even sand between coats depending on the surface you prefer. I always do 2 coats, and wait till it's completely dry. 24 hours seems a little long, but that will depend on climate.
Follow the directions as closely as possible. But, if it's dry to the touch, go for it!!! I hate waiting.
Ditto to the above, and I do two coats, but when possible I do one coat side to side and the second coat top to bottom. It can also be lightly sanded when dry.
And as paintergirl said, use a metal primer. It is like an adhesive and your finished work of art will not chip for scratch as easily.
I have also heard that if you use two coats of the same kind of wax used on wooden bowls, it gives you a harder surface. Sure leaves a pretty finish.
Nice to see you back!

Factoria, Bellevue, Washington
Factoria is a mixed-use urban neighborhood in south Bellevue, Washington and is one of the city's significant commercial districts. Originally timberland from the 1890s to 1920s and later envisioned as an industrial center, Factoria has since the 1960s evolved into commercial and residential development. Factoria was annexed into Bellevue in 1993.[1] The core neighborhood is bounded by Interstate 90 to the north, Interstate 405 to the west, Newport Way to the east, and Coal Creek Parkway to the south.
In the late 1890s, the Northern Pacific Railway laid tracks through the largely uninhabited area along the shores of Lake Washington near Mercer Island. In the early 1900s a large industrial center was envisioned by a group of Seattle investors led by E. L. Skeel on what is now the interchange of Interstate 405 and I-90. In 1908 Skeel formed the Mercer Land Company and platted several blocks adjoining the railroad tracks. The new community was to be named Mercer. A stove factory was constructed at the town-site but never manufactured a single stove. By 1911, development of the community was at a standstill and the company, now run by a Sarah Kendall with Skeel as secretary, filed a new plat featuring more blocks and public space. The project was now called Factoria, a name that would hopefully attract major industries, which it never did.
In the late 1920s Factoria became the headquarters for the burgeoning rabbit industry on the East Side. In 1927, an abandoned local factory was converted into a processing plant for canned rabbit meat and fur as well as a marketing headquarters for the industry.[2] In 1939, construction began on a new $800,000 highway project that straightened out the Sunset Highway between Issaquah and Mercer Island and eventually led to the construction of the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge across Lake Washington. The new four-lane highway passed directly through Factoria and intersected with Lake Washington Boulevard, then the major North-South highway on the East side.[3]
Following the opening of the bridge and highway in 1940, Factoria became a major crossroads. In 1950, the 900-car Sunset Outdoor Theatre was constructed near the intersection by Sterling Theatres, Inc.[4]
Factoria remained largely undeveloped up until the 1960s, when freeway construction put the area at the intersection of two major arterials, Interstate 405 and Interstate 90, which would replace most of the original town-site and create a major suburban retail center.
Commerce and industry[edit]
Factoria's commercial development is centered on Marketplace @ Factoria, a nearby eight-theater cinema, and several grocery stores. Numerous office buildings of various size are scattered in the area, most significantly the six-tower Newport Corporate Center, occupied primarily by T-Mobile USA. The "Factoria Campus" development situated directly north of the Marketplace @ Factoria, consisting of three office buildings plus a cinema andsome retail businesses, stands where the Sunset Outdoor Theater formerly existed.[5] Typical to a business district, Factoria is dotted with shops, business services, and restaurants.
Factoria serves as a commercial center for surrounding residential neighborhoods, such as Eastgate, Somerset, Newport Hills, Newport Shores, Mockingbird Hill, Greenwich Crest, and Woodridge. The Factoria area represents a community of about 2,100 acres (8.5 km2) bounded by Interstate 90 to the north, Lake Washington to the west, the Somerset Hills to the east, the Newport Hills to the south. The area contains about 5,000 residential units, 11,000,000 square feet (1,000,000 m2) of commercial space, and offices employing 7,500 people.[1] Public transportation in Factoria is served by King County Metro buses, primarily routes 222, 240, and 245.[6] Factoria Boulevard, Richards Road, Eastgate Way, Newport Way, and Coal Creek Parkway are major arterials that lead to or through the Factoria area.
Surrounding cities and neighborhoods[edit]

Marketplace @ Factoria[edit]
Marketplace @ Factoria,[7] first opened in 1977 under the name Factoria Square and later called Factoria Mall, originally contained about 20 retailers and was anchored by Ernst Home Centers, Lamonts, Britania, DJ's Sound City, Pay 'n Save, and Safeway.[8] In 2008, the mall was slated for new urbanist redevelopment, likely a result of being labeled a dead mall as anchors such as Mervyn's moved out.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The mall was renamed Marketplace @ Factoria at this time, and one of Bellevue's two small Wal-Mart stores is now a tenant.

I took my daughter and niece to see the move this past weekend and I thought it was excellent. Disney did a great job staying faithful to the source material while updating it just enough to make it appealing to this generation's audience. The casting was spot on and the set design, costumes and makeup were all outstanding. I do not usually buy DVD's or Blu-Ray discs but this is one that I would own. A timeless classic brilliantly reconstructed by the creative hands at Disney.
These guys are firing on all cylinders right now. Watching the movie knowing I own the stock brought a smile to my face.
It honestly does not matter to me whether they split shares or not. It would be nice to see but it isn't going to change my view of the company one way or the other. I am holding my shares for the very long term regardless. I plan on passing them down to my kids.
Would love to see it. A 3 for 1 would make my year! Starbucks just announced one so hey maybe well get lucky with DIS. Forget the myth that splits don't create more value. Disney at $40 becomes infinitely more attractive to smaller investors than it is at $120. Just look at how Apple has performed since their 7 for 1.
The shorts seem bent on getting in front of this train. I'm not sure why. There are much better short targets out there. They are getting killed betting against Disney. Oh and Avengers 2 is about two months away.
You're right. I should have said "correction" versus "pull back"
This is the dilemma for shot sellers and those that think that Disney is currently overvalued. While some of those arguments may be true there are much better shorting targets out there. Just look what happened to all of the folks that shorted Netflix and Apple on the way up. They got absolutely killed. With Avengers 2 and Star Wars on the horizon it is very risk shorting Disney right here. A significant pullback will occur at some point but knowing when that will happen a pure guessing game. The stock is a freight train right now and I see no need to get out in front of that.
Very solid opening indeed. Make no mistake Disney will find a way to monetize this one as well despite this being simply a remake of such a classic. 'Frozen Fever' helped the numbers a bit but this movie will have legs particularly overseas. I am taking my daughter to see it this coming weekend. Theaters in my area were too packed this past weekend.
Here's the problem with going short. Take a look at what happened with Tesla, Amazon and Priceline to name a few. Everyone kept shouting that they were overvalued and kept shorting them on the way up. They got crushed for their troubles. Fundamentally Disney is a much stronger company than any of those that I just named. The Marvel and LucasFilm acquisitions changed the game for Disney. They are already the masters of content and now look what they have to draw from for many years to come. This company is firing on all cylinders. Has it gone up too fast? Probably. But why get in front of a freight train?
Best of luck!
Everyone wants to own a piece of 'Frozen', 'Star Wars' and all things Marvel. I don't even have to mention ESPN and ABC. Disney is a mutual fund in and of itself. And trust me, the hype has not even started yet.
I expect the movie to easily exceed $1 billion worldwide making it's way to $1.5 billion before it's all said and done. Star Wars: "The Force Awakens" will do even bigger numbers. It is an exciting to time to be a Disney shareholder!
I agree with you 100%. One of the biggest investment mistakes I ever made was selling Disney at $35 after buying it at $28. The "gurus" out there were saying that you should sell at $35 and wait for a pullback to $30 and get back in. Well guess what? $30 was never seen again and either was $40, $50, $60, $70 etc.
The LucasFilm and Marvel acquisitions changed the game entirely for Disney. They now have an incredibly deep pool of iconic characters and content to draw from for many years to come. The Star Wars craze has not even begun yet and when it does you will see the stock moving to even higher highs.
DIS is without a doubt one of if not the best "buy and hold forever" stocks in the world.
I owned 100 shares of DIS at $28 and unfortunately sold out at $35. I let the talking heads on CNBC talk me into selling and waiting on the next dip to get back in. Well obviously I outsmarted myself. I bit the bullet and bought back in at $64 and I plan on literally holding these shares forever. Disney is a company you want to turnover to your kids one day.
As for Cramer....he was openly bearish on DIS when it was around $60.
As oil continues to fall all-in costs for the miners should fall with it. Earnings this year should be much better for the well capitalized miners. Oil is down 50% since last June. That has to count for something.
Sentiment: Buy
