Polaris RZR
I bought this boot for my Polaris RZR, be sure to order the proper side as the inside diamter is different for the right and left side. This boot is thicker and seems to be better made than the Polaris boots. The boot feels more like rubber compared to the Polaris one that feels more like soft plastic.

So I guess I'm a little behind...
... like a souvenir shop and they give you a cloak and gloves and you walk through one door to a mini chamber thing, and when the door behind you closes you press a button to open the next door. It's like walking into something from a movie. The automatic metal door slowly opens to reveal this blue and purple ice world. The tables, seats, and bar are all made of ice. There are ice sculptures and engravings in the ice. With the cover charge comes a free drink. Drinking in the icebar ...
Copenhagen & Stockholm
... produced the whiskey and cognac. So much for our alcohol free month. One night we walked down to a local restaurant with them which was very nice. They had bought a Deal on the internet like we buy at home. Their house was 7kms out of town at Valby where there was a lovely park and also the old Carlsberg brewery. We had a good walk around there on our first day even though we were pretty weary. The long days were great but meant we didn't go to bed very early. ...
Day 3 - More Oslo
... beatings are not on my Norway bucket list. No wonder it was cheap. Anyway (mum) I'm safe because I make GOOD DECISIONS and I had been planning to spend my last night in Oslo on the island of dreams. Said island, however, does not have showers or duvets, both of which were in the forefront of my mind when I booked my dorm bed for tonight.

The weather was soooo nice! It was less than an hour until the all-aboard, so when we reached the city hall we turned back toward the ship. The captain had said the best sail-in on this cruise was Oslo (which meant that the sail-away would be the best too), so we decided ...

Grand Haven MI-based ElectroMedia Inc., a telecommunications and AV integration company with a focus on commercial projects for businesses, schools, health care facilities, Houses of Worship, and office complexes, was contracted to design and deploy the new sound reinforcement system. After meeting with school district officials to ascertain their expectations for the new sound system, Ron Mielecki, the firmâs Sales Engineer, penned a setup consisting of twenty Grund Audio Design UB-16RN under balcony loudspeakers, augmented by four GT-LPB24C subwoofers. He discussed the nature of the project.
âThe new gym/multipurpose room is one of the larger high school complexes of its kind Iâve seen in its class,â states Mielecki, âand there was a major push to make this area outstanding in terms of its sound system. A high level of speech intelligibility and first-rate music reproduction capabilities were deemed critical. This way, spectators at the various sporting events could hear announcements clearly while larger special occasions such as a graduation ceremony would have equally compelling music playback qualities. With its 40-foot ceiling and an elevated running track around the roomâs perimeter, the challenge was to deploy a loudspeaker system that could deliver consistent sound quality throughout the room without being hampered by the overhead track.â
The solution was found in Grund Audio Designâs UB-16RN under balcony loudspeakers. Featuring dual 8-inch Neo cone transducers mated with a 1-inch Neo compression driver and an asymmetrical horn, the loudspeaker has a unique bracket design that enables it to serve as a dual array systemâand this is precisely what made these loudspeakers the ideal choice for Mieleckiâs design. The UB-16RN loudspeakers are deployed in eight clusters of two elements each and are positioned along the length of the court just forward of and aimed at the courtside spectator stands, four per side. To augment those loudspeakers, there are four additional UB-16RN loudspeakers that are strategically flown above center court. These enclosures are evenly spaced and downfire over the main area.
For low frequency support, Mieleckiâs design called for four Grund Audio Design GT-LPB24C subwoofers. These enclosures are flown two units per sideâpositioned equally over each half of the space. These sub bass systems are aligned with the dual cluster UB-16RN arrays, thus directing most of the impact at the spectators. The Grund Audio Design GT-LPB24C is a high power, low profile sub bass system comprised of two 12-inch low frequency transducers. The subwoofer is uniquely qualified for sound reinforcement applications where small format point source or line array loudspeaker systems are deployed and, hence, these four enclosures were a perfect match for the UB-16RN arrays. Loudspeaker management tasks are handled by a BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-100 signal processor while four Crown XTi 4000 power amplifiers drive the system.
The New Fremont High School sound system in the main gymnasium went live during a special opening ceremony on August 26th and, since that time; the system has impressed all who encounter it. âThe Fremont Public Schools wanted stadium quality performance,â Mielecki reports, âbut like all public school systems, they had to work within realistic budget constraints, so value was every bit as important as performance. By using Grund Audio Design loudspeaker systems, I knew that I could give them the kind of performance they wanted for less than the cost of systems from the âbig nameâ manufacturers. Having used Grund Audio Design products for years, I was confident in the system I specified. The district officials trusted me and I delivered.â
âUpon completing the training and demonstration of the system,â Mielecki continued, âthe school principle smiled and said, âThank you, this is exactly what I wanted.â He went on to say I should feel free to send anyone I wanted his way and he would provide a glowing recommendation. In no uncertain terms, this positive response to the new sound system is primarily due to the exemplary performance of the Grund Audio Design equipment.â

- Interface Design
TV: Keyword guided Channel Surfing
- This is a user interface study to find different approaches for channel surfing or zapping on your TV. The current TV not only provides an ever growing amount of programs to watch but also different sources to watch programs from. Ranging from regular tv channels via cable, satellite etc. but also previously recorded shows, video-on-demand and the internet.
To allow people to keep flipping through programs mindlessly without consciously having to select a source, we introduced the follow keyword-based channel surfing concept.
Some of the text in the concept is in the Dutch language, as a general rule everything on a red background is program or channel information (except for the time), the yellow text on black background are the keywords.
- Online Grocery Shopping: A Tag based Interface
In short, this interface turned out to provide a playful way to browse around items connected by tags (in this example do your online grocery shopping). But the design process was a little more complicated.
This interface is part of project that aimed to find new ways to interact with products in a supermarket. My observation was that there are a lot of ways in which the supermarket can communicate towards the consumer or influence the consumers behavior, but there are limited means for the consumer to personalise their shopping experience or respond to the supermarket. For this concept I focused on digital grocery shopping (ordering online) trying to give consumers a voice by allowing them to tag products to their own taste (and eventually allowing them to share these with friends/family), but I also attempted to keep the interface and interaction playful and fun.
Below you can find demo movie, but you also try the flash prototype out here.BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?To get started simple type a capital A in the 'Type here _' box and click the green sphere. This will provide the tag (in green) with the letter 'A', now click the tag and all the products (in blue) associated with 'A' will be displayed. If one of the products is clicked it will display all the tags associated with this product, and so on, and so on. Product can be re-positioned by dragging the box (representing a product) around. Tags can be added by typing in the 'Add new tag _' box and clicking the green circle to confirm.

This made for some good discussion later, but, as I've said, KTV this time was same, same, but different.

flowering crab suckers...?'s as rootstock
There was a beautiful large flowering crab on the property when we moved in. Red flowers, small red fruit all winter, darkgreen leaves with a red/bronze cast....pretty "standard". we liked it , the birds loved it, I used it to park some scion from excellent feral trees that I had brought from another location.
the tree came down about 3-4 years ago in a windstorm. One rootsucker appeared the next spring about 15' away. same leaf color and "spiky" growth habit...lots of short thin almost thorn like growth. I grafted it over this spring and it seems to be doing well. Although it tried like crazy at first to sprout below the grafts until they finally got going...tons of small red adventitious buds. more so than any other work I have done.
Today I noticed another sucker has come up 15' in the other direction (30' from the first one), just a tiny 2' whip....again same leaf color. I suppose it could be a seedling. These are the only two sucker it tried to throw since coming down.
Anyway it has made me realize I know precious little about crabs. What rootstocks are used in their propagation or if they are commonly grown out from seed(seems unlikely for consistent nursery stock).
Assuming a rootstock...what gets used? Any insights into how it might effect culinary trees placed over it?
I'm not sure what rootstock gets used on crab, probably similar as in other apples.
Your previous tree looks like a seedling,.. there has to be allot of them come up from bird droppings, you can use them to graft any apples on you want, my apples in the orchard are most on crab seedlings.
Ornamental crabaples grown at nurseries usually are bud/graft onto MM111 rootstock. At least in my nursery experience for zone 5 areas.
For very cold areas, crabs are also propagated onto seed grown hardy crabapple rootstocks (seeds from dolgo, Red Splendor or any other zone 4 crab).
And finally, some are grafted to M. baccata, M. ranetka, M.
prunifolia or 'Antonovka' rootstock.
thanks guys,
I don't believe this to be MM111. As I believe that has normal colored foliage.
Given it's location I am sure it was not a feral seedling but a purchased tree. Which makes it seem likely that is was some type of seed grown crab for the rootstock.
A quick search of the other cultivars mentioned (baccata, ranetka, ect...) again seems to show trees with more "normal" coloration of green. These leaves are slightly more heart shaped/pointed than most apple, very dark green base color with a noticeable red/maroon cast. I have seen this leaf type on other red and pink flowering crabs.
It doesn't really matter of course. They are there and I will use them...just got me wondering.

This is a small, family-owned campground in the Berkshires. It is very neat and clean and the owners are very accommodating and friendly; their grandson (13) earns his keep by running the honey wagon ($12) and is a hard worker. The site we had was more than large enough to accommodate our 34' MH and very handicap accessible. While there appear to be many 'seasonal' and some 'permanent' residents, the sites are well maintained. The only distraction at the time we were there was the railroad construction that was occurring on the main road needed to get to the campground...a little tight for a 34' MH, but that should be cleared up by next season, and we were able to find an alternate route to and from the campground. We camped at Fernwood Forest Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

"Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter."
-John Muir
One of the reasons I am so in love with the University of Limerick is because of its beautiful, vividly green, and natural campus. The river Shannon running through the center with swans casually hanging out, the secret streams and miniature waterfalls sporadically placed between buildings, and the rolling hills watchfully enveloping the perimeter make it a lovely place to live if you happen to be someone who thrives upon the outdoors. Since my school in the states is relatively small, it's a treat to be able to constantly explore the massive Limerick campus- and I'm serious, it looks like there could be a leprechaun hiding behind every corner! Yes, it's rainy- but that's the price you pay for living in a neon green wonderland, right??
Here's a little story that exemplifies one of the other massively cool parts about Ireland: CASTLES. One of my favorite activities since I've been at Limerick has been attempting to explore the campus on nice days, and finding little nooks and crannies I didn't know existed! On one of the nicest days last semester (a.k.a. it wasn't raining or hailing for once), I decided to take an afternoon walk along the river Shannon. It was sunny and beautiful, the river was sparkling, and the path was completely empty except for me and the occasional dog-walker.
Taking advantage of the lovely weather, I kept on walking after several options to turn around. My head was down for most of the time in a relatively futile attempt to save my rainboots from the muddy slush that the path had turned into after so much rain! All of a sudden, I looked up.
To my left were huge, abandoned ruins of a CASTLE. WHAT?! A castle was just sitting there, hanging out, within walking distance of my village?? No signs, no markings, no gate, separated this castle from being an anonymous object. I stopped for a minute and gaped with my mouth opened, then immediately opened my phone to call my friend Bridget in glee.
Naturally, I brought her back the next day so we could explore it together. We weren't the first to find the ruins, as they were covered in graffiti already from some clever kids who apparently couldn't afford an easel. Nothing could take away from the grandeur of this ancient ruin, though! With a bit of deft climbing, we defied gravity (and probably a few safety standards…don't try this at home) and climbed to the top of the castle on some stairs that were almost completely intact (AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS. THIS WORLD IS COOL). Sitting at the top of the castle, gazing over Limerick fields, I fell in love with Ireland all over again.
There's not a lot of countries where you can take an afternoon walk and find an ancient ruin on the side of the road…but Ireland is one of them. Lucky me!
Stay tuned for more posts about Rome, Barcelona, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, and London (I've been busy…)!

Update on the November 2012 review

About Me Avid Athlete

Comments about Inov-8 TrailRoc 255 Trail Running Shoe:
After near daily use for more than a year, these are my go to trail shoes. They are light, great protection, great heal stability and toe box width, incredible grip in all conditions. You are headed for great things in these shoes. I remain very impressed with everything except durability. But I may be a bit unfair here. I have put these shoes though every kind of grind and then with only a little of the right toe box unraveling at the top and moderate sole wear, I took them to Half Dome in August 2013. I am not representing these as technical climbing shoes, but they still gripped well on the slick granite going up the cables. All the Half Dome folks are saying " WOW!!". I got my money's worth and more from these shoes and plan on getting a pair of the new model soon.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Inov-8 F-Lite 240 - So comfortable!
By longrun26
from Libertyville, IL
Comments about Inov-8 F-Lite 240 Running Shoe:
The Lite 240 is a very comfortable, extremely lite and stylish shoe that is perfect for CrossFit. While I would not run a 5k in these due to lack of arch support like in a running shoe, these transition perfectly from a warm up to strength and elements in a workout. They look great, keep your feet from getting too hot due to venting and plus I keep getting people to comment positively about them.
Excellent powerlifting shoes
By ak

About Me Gym Rat
Comments about Inov-8 Bare-XF 260 Cross Training Shoe:
My favorite shoes for powerlifting. Barefoot tech and sticky bottom allows for proper form in deadlifts, squats, and other powerlifts. I don't recommend running outside in these; it will ruin the sticky outer sole and plus it doesn't have good arch support. Very flexible toe area, and lots of room there to wiggle them. I prefer these velcro straps over annoying shoe laces. Camouflage is stylish! Material is lightweight, but not thin enough to evoke a "cheap" look or feel; rather, it has a little cushion. Kind of like squeezing a thin sponge covered with soft potato sack/bag. It's not an all-sport shoe; I recommend these just for power-lifting, indoor gym surfaces.

Aces open playoffs with 5-3 win
Advance to double elimination tournament for second straight year
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Three players hit home runs for the Aces and Tyler Tobin continued his strong summer with an excellent start as the Aces defeated the Gaithersburg Giants, 5-3, Monday night in the first game of the playoffs. Gaithersburg was eliminated from the postseason while the Aces advanced to the double elimination bracket, where they'll face the league-champion Bethesda Big Train Tuesday night.
While the Aces banged out 12 hits as a team, with eight of nine starters chipping in, their only offense through most of the game came on the long ball. Ryan Lukach (University of Hartford) opened the scoring in the playoffs with a solo home run to left center field in the second inning to give the Aces a 1-0 lead. In the top of the fourth Danny Bermudez (Western Carolina) led off with another solo home run for a 2-0 Aces lead.

'A World Not Ours' Wins Edinburgh International Film Festival Prize
LONDON -- Mahdi Fleifel's A World Not Ours won the best film in the international competition at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival.
The festival's awards were dished out Friday ahead of Sunday's closing night gala Not Another Happy Ending, which brings the curtain down on this year's 12-day event in the Scottish capital.
Fleifel's movie, a Lebanon/UAE/Denmark/U.K. co-production, was awarded the plaudit by an international jury chaired by South Korean director Bong Joon and that included actress Natalie Dormer and film critic Siobhan Synnot.
Fleifel said: "I have lived, studied and worked in the U.K. for 13 years, but I've never managed to screen any of my work at a single British film event - not even my short films which were pretty successful internationally."
He said he hopes the recognition "will help bring our film to a wider audience in the U.K. and I would like to thank the jury for this wonderful honor."
The festival's Michael Powell award for best British film went to Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel's documentary Leviathan, a U.K./USA/France production.
The winner was chosen by the Michael Powell jury, chaired by Iranian director Samira Makhmalbaf and including actor and director Kevin McKidd and film critic Derek Malcolm.
Castaing-Taylor and Paravel said the award would give them "the courage and conviction to continue to keep pushing at the envelope - of cinema, of documentary, of art."
The nod for best performance in a British movie was shared by Jamie Blackley and Toby Regbo for their performances as the dysfunctional schoolboys in uwantme2killhim?
Reinstated in 2013 after a two-year absence, the audience award went to Fire In the Night (U.K.) directed by Anthony Wonke for his documentary detailing the 1988 Piper Alpha disaster in the North Sea.
Wonke said: "It's 25 years ago this July that Piper Alpha exploded and sunk into the North Sea and we hope that with this film the memory of that fateful night that affected so many lives will act as a suitable remembrance."
EIFF artistic director Chris Fujiwara said: "The Audience Award, which we reinstated this year after a two-year hiatus, is not only one of the most significant of EIFF's initiatives designed to engage audiences with cinema, it's also one of the most fun."

I have been working at Google full-time (more than a year)Pros
* If you're a software engineer, you're among the kings of the hill at Google. It's an engineer-driven company without a doubt (that *is* changing, but it's still very engineer-focused).
* The perks are amazing. Yes, free breakfast, lunch, an dinner every weekday. Aaaaaamazing holiday parties (at Waldorf Astoria, NY Public Library, MoMA, etc.); overnight ski trips to Vermont; overnight nature trips to the Poconos in the summer; summer picnics at Chelsea piers; and on and on and on. I don't see this going away unless the company starts hurting financially.
* Speaking of which, the company is doing quite well, which reflects in bonuses and equity grants.
* There a huge diversity of work ranging from defending independent journalism worldwide (Google Project Shield) to crisis response during disasters (see Maps during Hurricane Sandy or Tsunamis), to the best machine learning experts and projects in the world, to more mundane revenue-driving projects in advertising, there's really something for everybody.
* It's easy to move around within the company as long as you're in good standing (the vast majority of engineers are).
* The company is amazingly open: every week Larry Page and Sergey Brin host what's called TGIF where food, beer, wine, etc. is served, a new project is presented, and afterward there's an open forum to ask the executives anything you want. It's truly fair game to ask anything, no matter how controversial, and frequently the executives will be responsive.
* No, nobody cares if you use an iPhone, Facebook, shop with Amazon, stream using Spotify, or refuse to use Google+. The company is amazingly open and flexible.
Neither pro nor con, but general information on work-life balance, promotions, and advancement.
* Work life balance can be what you want it to be on most teams. (Some teams are in more competitive sectors and require more crazy hours all the time - but very few of them). If you do what's expected, you'll be fine at least for a handful of years. Working a roughly 40 hour work week is possible, and many people do it. There are also people who are hyper-motived and work like crazy just because they love it, or because they're competitive, or they want to get a promotion. If you work 40 hour weeks without putting in anything extra, you'll fall behind them as they advance and you stand still - and maybe that doesn't matter, so it works out for everybody. But at least know where you would realistically stand.
* If you excel and work your butt off, you'll be compensated and promoted. If you let yourself be a code monkey, and just sit coding with your head down all day, you'll be fine but won't advance. A big complaint from some Googlers is about not being able to advance "even at Google" with pure coding. Sure, if you're the uber genius who created MapReduce and Bigtable, you're going to advance like a rocket without having to do anything but coding; but if you're like most engineers at Google -- smarter than average, but just average compared to other Googlers -- you're just a good coder and not revolutionary. Code monkeys are important to actually get stuff done, and to be sure you absolutely need to be a good coder as a software engineer (it's the minimum requirement), but code monkeys won't advance because they're not leaders and they're easy to replace. To get promoted you need to lead and do more than just code. There are plenty of ways to lead other than being an official tech lead, so this isn't actually _that_ hard, so the real point is just that you can't just sit there coding what other people tell you to code all day and expect to advance.Cons
* It *is* becoming larger, and with it comes growing pains: bureaucracy, slow to respond to market threats, bloated teams, cross-divisional tension (though nothing remotely approaching that of Microsoft's internal tension).
* The quality of the engineers is possibly dropping, but possibly not. It's hard to get real metrics, because as the absolute number of people grows, naturally the number of bad apples grows; as a percentage it's supposedly the same as it ever was, but with larger numbers of poorer quality engineers it just _feels_ like things might be changing for the worse.
* Also with growth means more internal-confidential data leaks (again, because of the raw numbers of people) -- product announcements being ruined, etc. That means the company has to be tighter-lipped internally to avoid leaks, which makes things less open. It's still an amazingly open place, but less so than it was even a couple years ago. The good thing is they recognize it and actively look to improve things because they know how important it is to keep the good culture.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I worked at Google full-time (more than 8 years)Pros
1) Food, food, food. 15+ cafes on main campus (MTV) alone. Mini-kitchens, snacks, drinks, free breakfast/lunch/dinner, all day, errr'day.
2) Benefits/perks. Free 24:7 gym access (on MTV campus). Free (self service) laundry (washer/dryer) available. Bowling alley. Volley ball pit. Custom-built and exclusive employee use only outdoor sport park (MTV). Free health/fitness assessments. Dog-friendly. Etc. etc. etc.
3) Compensation. In ~2010 or 2011, Google updated its compensation packages so that they were more competitive.
4) For the size of the organization (30K+), it has remained relatively innovative, nimble, and fast-paced and open with communication but, that is definitely changing (for the worse).
5) With so many departments, focus areas, and products, *in theory*, you should have plenty of opportunity to grow your career (horizontally or vertically). In practice, not true.
6) You get to work with some of the brightest, most innovative and hard-working/diligent minds in the industry. There's a "con" to that, too (see below).Cons
1) Work/life balance. What balance? All those perks and benefits are an illusion. They keep you at work and they help you to be more productive. I've never met anybody at Google who actually time off on weekends or on vacations. You may not hear management say, "You have to work on weekends/vacations" but, they set the culture by doing so - and it inevitably trickles down. I don't know if Google inadvertently hires the work-a-holics or if they create work-a-holics in us. Regardless, I have seen way too many of the following: marriages fall apart, colleagues choosing work and projects over family, colleagues getting physically sick and ill because of stress, colleagues crying while at work because of the stress, colleagues shooting out emails at midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am. It is absolutely ridiculous and something needs to change.
2) Poor management. I think the issue is that, a majority of people love Google because they get to work on interesting technical problems - and these are the people that see little value in learning how to develop emotional intelligence. Perhaps they enjoy technical problems because people are too "difficult." People are promoted into management positions - not because they actually know how to lead/manage, but because they happen to be smart or because there is no other path to grow into. So there is a layer of intelligent individuals who are horrible managers and leaders. Yet, there is no value system to actually do anything about that because "emotional intelligence" or "adaptive leadership" are not taken seriously.
3) Jerks. Sure, there are a lot of brilliant people - but, sadly, there are also a lot of jerks (and, many times, they are one and the same). Years ago, that wasn't the case. I don't know if the pool of candidates is getting smaller, or maybe all the folks with great personalities cashed out and left, or maybe people are getting burned out and it's wearing on their personality and patience. I've heard stories of managers straight-up cussing out their employees and intimidating/scaring their employees into compliance.
4) It's a giant company now and, inevitably, it has become slower moving and is now layered with process and bureaucracy. So many political battles, empire building, territory grabbing. Google says, "Don't be evil." But, that practice doesn't seem to be put into place when it comes to internal practices. :(Advice to ManagementAdvice
1) Don't dismiss emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership. They're not just catch phases. You need great managers and leaders in order to build great companies and develop great employees. The people who may be brilliant at solving technical issues may not be (and are most often, not) the best candidates for management.
2) Do something about that work-ife balance. Don't just have a bunch of pow-wows and tech talks and discussions about it. Leadership should actually model it. Consider re-evaluating how work is done; what processes are in place that are inefficient and ineffective and need to be updated or removed?
3) Don't forget that there is already a pool of incredibly talented people within the company. If career development is really a goal at Google, then do it. Don't just hire from the outside. Take the time to help your employees develop their careers - then maybe you won't lose some of the great ones, and maybe you'll have prevent some of that burn out and disillusionment.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I have been working at GooglePros
You can't find a more well-regarded company that actually deserves the hype it gets.
You'll work on cutting edge projects / solve important issues that impact your community and the world
You'll meet interesting people who are your colleagues, managers, and senior management.
You'll open the paper and see your company in the news almost every day, and read about projects you're working on, which is a cool thing
You'll see Larry and Sergey at TGIF and you'll admire how they lead the company. They are brilliant, goofy, low key but intense, and likeable.
There are 22 cafes (more or less), the food is excellent, and it's free.
Your pay will typically be competitive, though it needs to be tweaked up a bit since the economy has improved.
Google cares about how it treats its employees.
The campus is like an academic campus in many ways.
There are tons of activities on campus, like authors speaking about their books, films after work, and gyms where you can work out - but you'll need to make sure to carve out time to do these things.
You'll get plenty of external validation from people who suddenly think you're smart and rich because you work there, even if you're not rich and you're as smart when you didn't work at Google.
If and when you leave, you'll never regret having that company on your resume. It opens doors.
The company is flexible - if you're lucky, you won't have a micromanager boss and you can be somewhat flexible in how you work - but don't get me wrong - you'll work a LOT. But you don't have to do all of it chained to your desk.Cons
I live in SF so the commute can take between 1.5 hours to 1.75 hours each way on the shuttle - sometimes 2 hours each way on a busy day or rainy day. That means being on the bus for 3-4 hours PER DAY. It's a wired bus though which means you can work on the way to Mountain View. But it can feel brutal.
Your first year or two are really important in terms of your career at Google and they affect how you're viewed, and your ability to be promoted. You should always ask to work on high profile projects. If you don't get them, don't expect to get high ratings or get promoted. Always volunteer for cross functional group work for maximum exposure, and then work hard at those things.
You'll likely work on something that no one will explain to you and it will take you at least a year to be comfortable doing what you're working on, even if you're super quick at learning. No one has time to train you or teach you what you're doing - which is kind of hard.
After two or three years, people you started out with at Google start to get promoted. If you're not one of them, you'll wonder why and how it happened, and that process is somewhat political and not always clear.
It's a big company now. And super political. So don't be naive. Expect some people to be catty, some people to be territorial, and be prepared to be mentally tough. Don't let people see your vulnerableness. It's a Darwinistic culture with a huge dose of 30-something idealism on top which can fool you into thinking that people are easygoing - they're not. They're driven. If you're not driven, you're not going to fit in.
When you start at Google, it seems like peer reviews are super important - they are, but they are the sprinkles on the fro yo. The important thing is that your direct manager knows your work, likes your work and likes you, and then you can get promoted. If your boss doesn't like you, all the positive peer reviews in the world won't help you. Make sure you know what your boss wants, and give it to them. You will have weekly one on ones, and make sure you are addressing your performance at each one, asking if they have questions, how you can improve, can you work on cross functional projects, etc.
It's really hard to find work life balance at Google. The workload is huge. I hardly have time to work out. The commute is brutal. My family sometimes needs more from me and I can't give it. I'm still trying to find the balance. I think I need more down time than most people so I have a hard time being structured every day to fit all the things I want into my day, so a lot of things slip, like working out.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep on NOT micromanaging - that is a huge benefit to Google. Most of us have a huge workload and we work in spikes and not chained to our desks, and we care deeply about producing, and we produce a lot. We can do that because you respect us enough to give us some freedom in how we do our jobs.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

I purchased this to use a a travel map, placing pins in each location I have traveled. I purchased some foam board to put behind and it worked perfectly. There are many cities marked on the map, which is really awesome for what I was using it. The only drawback is that there is a piece of wood that goes directly down the middle (vertically) so any city on that spot couldn't have the pins go in very deep (this goes through Europe and Africa). Would certainly recommend others for this use or just as a wall decoration.
No complaints - this is a large piece with texture and looks great. I am very happy with this piece.
The description is spot on. I hung this in my home office and it looks great. Ordering and delivery were easy and timely!
We have an old world theme in our living room and this canvas art piece was the perfect addition.
Well packaged to prevent damage. Perfect size and color for the room. I would have given it 5 stars, but of course this is a reproduction and the print is blurry. I will buy from overstock again!
Love this canvas am using map pins to pin each country and etc. we have been to and have it hanging in our den for all to see
Was very disappointed with the quality of this print. I ordered the largest size and the names of the countries and cities are blurred and impossible to read (which is perplexing as this is the largest size). On top of the poor print quality and blurriness, the map is mounted on the frame crooked. I could never hang this on my wall as it would always look cheap and like it was hung crooked, even if it was just that the print on the frame was crooked. Definitely returning this. The color was good. A nice tan color that would have been great....
Good quality canvas material but you can't read any of printed text on the canvas. I was really disappointed because it is for my daughters room and we were going to use it when she got older to learn the different countries, states and so forth. I did however keep the print only because it matched her room decor and it was the only one I could find that was golden.

"This book is why I like science fiction."
A cerebral journey that propels you into an immersive story of what it is to be human in a futuristic world and the inherent desire to survive in a foriegn and empty unwelcoming environment that is space. Can be slow at times with drawing out the mundane.
I really enjoy the intelligent word play and imaginitive world painted by the author's visionary universe. He really displays a high level of adeptness to interwine scientific concepts into his story and it comes across very plausible and non Star Trek hokiness. This seperates science fiction writers from fantasy authors, the demand of a high level of science acumen to explain the story, rather writing your way out of a predicament through pulling a solution from the air like the world of wizards and dragons.
His mastery of voices and inflection is able to convey the primal feelings or cognitive thoughts of the characters in a diverse and immersive way.
Dreams Among The Stars
I really love this book and to me the author has positioned himself in the class of Fredrick Pohl and Frank Herbert in science fiction.
"Great story as expected from Reynolds."
Started out slower than the usual Reynolds books, but like the others it eases you into the rollercoaster ride. He is a master of science fiction.
"Good book and well read."
It was a good booked, yet over hyped. It is a story of siblings in a quaint town and how they deal with issues of an adult world.
Meanders a lot but with no subplots, very simplistic in its linear flow. Narrator was top notch, added substance to the main character with her true southern dialect.
"Female Protagonist Below Zero Likeability."
Maybe if they used different characters.
Writing overall is not bad and plot meanders or drawn out unnecessarily.
Nothing really stood out.
Not to buy any sequel.
I like a strong herion, but this character is over the top stubborn that I wish a zombie would bite her head off. Her in your face bravado would never have gotten her very far in a post apocalyptic society. Her mouthiness would have gotten her killed by her tribe. Just not likeable.
"Better than the first novel."
That it was an improvement from the original. I did not care for the original because it was full of useless banter with unessential characters.I almost was not going to get the second book but felt compelled to continue the story. The book was still long but the action was better, and the conversations was tied to the story while the first book did not do a good job in regards to tying the pointless conversations into the storyline.
My favorite character was Amy's father.
He seems to have gotten better with his diversification and repertoire of voices.
Hope the next book continues with improvements.
"The worst book in my collection."
What a laborious listen, absolutely painful and dry. Makes me question the legitimacy of the 5 star reviews. BORING. Filled with frivolous banter among nonessential characters and 5 of the 30 hours of listen is worthwhile. Little house On The Prairie combined with a vampire story it feels like. It has taken me almost two months of trying to finish this thing.Scott brick reads well, average writing, but plot is riddled with filler characters like a gaudy overdone Christmas tree filled with tacky ornaments.
Cut out the crap and filler banter or ho him writing. I bought a horror book I thought and not Little House On The Prairie. Too many filler characters.
Breakout of Zero.
Only when there was action or relevant dialogue pertaining to the actual plot.
I want my credit back.
