Congratulations Nelson. Maybe this is the way to have them develop p-channel power JFETs? (If necessary.)

Nice photo
Is SemiSouth taking credit for developing a part that Papa had made to his specifications? I mean - I wuz under the impression that his batch of devices were custom made to his spec's - and cost him some serious $$$$ for a special production run. I'd be tempted to charge SS some serious R&D $$$$ - but then you run the chance of piz'n off your only supplier. Hmmmmmmm...... Let's put da lid back on this can of worms 'cause on 2nd thought there are some things better left alone.
DIY audio can be expensive but getting to see things go up in smoke - that's priceless!!!! ..... "whatever - call it brainfart of Mighty ZM" |

As far as I can figure, there is zero difference from the R100's. Just the lettering.
But can't complain if they are trying to make a buck. I still get the impression they are avery small company. |

5 ways to speed up your Wi-Fi (that work!)
Constantly resetting your router? Here's what to do to make your Wi-Fi faster and more reliable.
The 2008 BMW 128i Convertible is an easy car to drive, but not as sporty as other models from the company. Options jack up the price pretty quickly, but without them, it's not much of a tech car.

The access to Mavic mountain bike performance and identity, now thru-axle compatible. Entry level at Mavic always means quality, efficiency and reliability. This is completely expressed by the Crossride - now an even better value with 15 mm front hub and 12 mm rear hub (135&142).
TS-2 - Transfer System 2 Using 2 pawls engaging simultaneously, this freewheel system is also fitted with an alloy monobloc axle that is light and stiff and offers multiple compatibilities.
QRM - Qualité de Roulements Mavic Mavic only uses high quality sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, they feature double sealing (2RS or LLU) together with tight C3 internal clearance.
Self Lock - The special shape of the spoke end, on the thread, makes it impossible to loosen.The spokes stays tightly screwed into the nipple, no tension loss is occuring.
H2 - Hammer Hardening Local strenghtening of the rim in the area where the spokes exert the greatest stress.

Images @ University of Washington
- Images at University of WashingtonCheck out University of Washington's guide to images. We're way impressed by the breadth of information about not only finding images, but also evaluating, using and citing sources. Including tools for creating and adapting your own images is a very cool idea!
Image Collections @ Duke University
- Image Collections at Duke UniversityLee Sorensen at Duke University created a fantastic guide to images. This guide is just so smart; it has a frightening number of image collections links (well, it would be frightening if they weren't so well categorized!), and it branches into additional areas such as copyright and rights clearing, free image collections, and available library services. The images Lee has integrated into the page layout are particularly striking.
Finding Images @ Boston College
- Finding Images at Boston CollegeAdeane Bregman at Boston College created a fantastic Finding Images guide. In her words, "This guide presents scholarly and commercial sources available on line and through the web". Of particular interest is the way she's segmented her subjects; she includes tabs on citing image sources, images from literature, religious imagery, and image features from other databases, to name a few. This guide is just too cool for words!
Finding Digital Images Guide @ UNLV
- Finding Digital Images at UNLVAs Jeanne Brown mentioned when she was nominated, this guide might be more aptly described as "Finding Digital Architecture Images". But we're not too hung up on semantics here... this guide rocks! Links to image searches are very clear (and highly rated by her user community!) and her "Las Vegas Architects and Buildings" page has great local appeal. Rock!
Image Research Guide @ Boatwright Memorial Library
- Image Research Guide at University of RichmondJeannine Keefer created a fantastic Image Research Guide for the University of Richmond. The museum links are awesome, and the site customization is also pretty darn cool. Nice!

Only not very cool because you probably have some weird shift work disorder because you have to get up at like 4am.
8. Eleven O'Clock
Decent. You got to watch all of Mad Men and then went right to bed.
5. Oh heck yeah - Midnight
Woop woop it's Thursday, gonna stay up late.
4. Ten After Twelve
Yeah, decided to fuck around on Facebook a little more. Only 10 minutes, whatever.
3. Ten Thirty
A GREAT night's sleep. Gonna wake up like a newborn baby, feeling fantastic.
You, being very cool. Probably smoking cigarettes.

My Bag
0My Favorites
0The designers behind Lauren Moshi take their comfortable pieces to a new level. With Michael Lauren, expect a range of lounge-worthy basics for the girl who likes to relax in style.
I usually love Michael Lauren basics because they are always great quality and soft, comfy material. However, I can not believe how disappointed I was when I tried this. The fit was good, just oversized enough (I am 5'2'' and 120lbs and ordered the XS/S size), but the material is horrible! It feels like a cheap polyester sweater you can buy at Urban Outfitters off the clearance rack. Definitely not worth the price. Returned.

Graphic Novel Adaptation: THE WEB
On May 24, 2014
I'm pleased to announce the second graphic adaptation of a Delaware novel, THE WEB. (the first was SILENT PARNER.) The team of Ande Parks and Michael Gaydos has, again, done a masterful job. For those of you who enjoy graphics, the inherent spookiness of this particular book lends itself perfectly to the [...]

I built a pool house and need to run electricity from the main house which is about 175 ft. I need to hook up the following:
1) a 240V hot tub
2) 1 hp pool pump
3) 6 light fixtures (60w each)
4) outlets
I've read from a site to use 6 wire for the hot tub and using GFCI disconnect instead of breaker. I know this if a major project so I could use all the input I can get. I need info also on adding a new circuit breaker/s for all the above.

dc.description.abstract | Since the mid-1980s, U.S. and foreign parties have filed more than 100,000 lawsuits in U.S. federal courts asking for adjudication of disputes arising from transnational activity. These lawsuits raise a fundamental question of global governance: Who governs? Should the United States assert its authority to adjudicate a transnational dispute, or should it defer to the adjudicative authority of a foreign state that also has connections with the underlying activity? Should the United States assert its authority to prescribe the rules governing that activity, or should it defer to foreign prescriptive authority? U.S. district courts routinely face these questions in transnational litigation, and by answering them they help allocate governance authority among states. To shed light on the role of domestic courts in global governance, this dissertation asks: How often and under what circumstances do U.S. district courts defer to foreign authority to govern transnational activity rather than asserting domestic authority? Drawing on private international law scholarship and theories of international relations, judicial behavior, and bounded rationality, I develop a series of hypotheses about the legal and political factors that influence judicial allocation of governance authority. I then statistically test these hypotheses using original data on U.S. district court decisionmaking in two transnational litigation settings: the allocation of adjudicative authority under the forum non conveniens doctrine, and the allocation of prescriptive authority under various choice-of-law methods. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that U.S. judges are reluctant to defer to foreign authority, I find that they defer at a rate of approximately 50% in both settings. And notwithstanding claims that legal doctrine does not significantly affect judicial decisionmaking, I present evidence suggesting that the forum non conveniens doctrine and choice-of-law doctrine both influence judicial allocation of governance authority. There is evidence of both direct doctrinal effects, as contemplated by legalist theory, and indirect doctrinal effects, resulting from the use of judicial heuristics which allow judges to conserve scarce decisionmaking resources while making decisions that achieve acceptable levels of legal quality. Significant political factors include whether the foreign state is a liberal democracy, the domestic political environment, and U.S. parties' preferences. | en_US |

Team Michael Quartermaine!
I've noticed Sean Kanan is really good at interacting with the kids on GH. The actor who plays Aiden could give Parker on Days a run for his money in the adorable cuteness department. |

I was :whooohooo: when Shawn and Alexis broke up. She has a double standard when it comes to relationships. J Nick had me :lol: when he described AJ. Britt and the doll had me :roflol: I wanted to :bonk: Sabrina for commenting to Britt how she treated the doll would a prime example of how she treated Patrick baby. Sabrina is nothing but a younger version of Robin. Nick and Spencer were adorable and they fit better with Britt. She was probably shocked how Spencer was nice to her.

Oh and I about gaged watching lame ass Kiki try to look sexy all tied up. Seeing these two men want her fugly ass is unbelievable. |
bellajewel | Jul 5 2013, 07:24 PM Post #29 |
As a Robin fan, those are fighting words. Sabrina isn't anything like the strong, mature independent Robin Scorpio Drake. :fight:
Nik and Spencer are adorable, but if Britt came into their lives it would be the worst thing ever to happen. Hell no to #BritNik
Nik's description was hilarious, he is just jealous... but AJ's sweet sensitive side shines when he's with Liz. I love it! The doll catching fire was so funny! :lol: However, Emma was very cute in that scene. Wow...Michael and Kiki's chemistry is intense! IMO it's bc they're dating IRL.

Agent.99 | Jul 6 2013, 10:48 PM Post #34 |
If Morgan's going to be an ass - I hope they have the balls to have him stay an ass. Let him grow up to be one of these borderline love/hate characters - when they're kind of a bad seed (Tracy, Todd Manning, etc) but are loved by certain people nonetheless. I actually wish they kept Morgan the good kid. The way he looked up to Dante and Jax seemingly way more than he did Sonny - in my opinion it would have been smart to run with that. Michael was all set to be angsty as hell after waking up from his coma but Chad came in and made him a puppy. So I guess they passed that personality over to Morgan. |
bellajewel | Jul 7 2013, 04:32 PM Post #35 |
I totally disagree with this. It's cliche, but money doesn't buy everything. The one thing Nik doesn't have is Liz--the woman he loves.
IMO Patrick and Robin raised Emma correctly. It's very understandable she doesn't like Britt, and isn't ready for a baby sibling, especially from the same woman that was mean to her. And, Emma isn't too old to have a toy doll. Edited by bellajewel, Jul 7 2013, 04:39 PM.

Yes, Liz made her choice, however, Nik doesn't accept her decision. He still loves her, although he's moving on. What's this about Nik and Britt??? So far, I haven't seen any indication they are getting together. |

And, Emma isn't too old to have a toy doll. No they did not raise Emma correctly. Emma is a child and needs to be around children her own age, not around the adults who thinks what she does and say is always right. Emma is growing up to be a drama queen just like her parents want her to be. :shrug: |
bellajewel | Jul 7 2013, 04:59 PM Post #40 |
I totally disagree with this. The adults in Emma's life don't think everything she says and does is right. Even Sabrina talked with her abt loving the new baby and being nicer to Britt. Emma is a child dealing with a great loss. It's understandable she would have moments of being a "drama queen." However, the adults are supportive, attempting to love her through the difficulty.

Adoption night out - be there or be square
(83 Posts)KristinaM has a gig in London for one night only. Tickets are scarce and on a first come first served basis.
So who wants one:
Weds evening 22nd May 2013
Somewhere on a tube line to Euston station, venue kept strictly secret on a need to know basis in case she's mobbed by her adoring fans.
We shall be swanning about in our desingner outfits and big hats and drinking champers with Diarmuid, Alan and Chris
Have DMed you (this phrase always reminds me of 'I'll medicine you/If I medicined you ...' from Withnail and I) and you will now know what I look like (although I will probably not be wearing specs)
I have a bit of a crush on Cleve West actually, KristinaM ....
Yeah cleve is ok, can we do drinks with him? Is Chris Beardshaw too serious? I bet mr Gavin is a bit full of himself anyway .andy sturgeon? Joe swift?
I have purchased a very large hat for a family wedding the next weekend so I think I shall wear that to chelsea, along with my fur stole,pearls, long gloves and killer heels
Don't worry I shall change for dinner so I don't show up all you scruffy Londoners
Mr Gavin is lovely! Honestly!
Ok diarmuid can come too if he behaves himself
Pheasant what stand is this? I am alone all day in London, sight seeing, St Paul's and the like! I can come and see you too, message me if you want me to. Thanks.
He doesn;t need to be lovely - if he's breathing and single then he can come. Some of us can;t afford to be picky you know.
I'm afraid he's married kew :-(
Ah well back to the drawing board...
Hey Italian, I'm in central London. If you're doing a day on the town, we could meet for tea at some point, or just meet after work and we could have a drink then mooch down to meet the scarier ones.
[Ignoring lustful gardener fantasies. Is that going to be the tone of our evening?]
There are plenty female gardeners you know
Messaged you Italian
MrsDV has no babysitting atm and isn't well so can't come. I have told her that I will keep nagging every year until she cracks.
I'm looking forward to it
Me too - my mum isn't well and she's my babysitter so fingers crossed she's OK for tomorrow.
There's a small postscript story to the rugby player story which you haven't heard yet...
Hope you all have a fantastic time. Sorry I can't be with you. Maybe next time.
Have a good time you all, I wish I could join you
Your ears will be burning, Lilka
Looking forward to seeing you all today!
Kew, hope your mum is ok.
Kew - can you text me the venue details please, can't find them here, and need to head out for work now, thanks
Fingers crossed she's OK so far. Has been hospitalised twice in last month for same thing so not a great record!
Have texted Devora, Pheasant and Kristina - if anyone else needs a reminder let me know.
Lilkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - we will miss you.
Are hifi or families coming - haven't heard?
Thanks for organising it, Kew.

Twitter turns favourites into retweets
Have you recently witnessed favourite tweets back in your tweet box? Some users are seeing tweets favourited by others in their timeline just like retweets.
Some users are seeing a few tweets in their timelines that have been marked as favourites by accounts they follow.
Other tweets are showing from accounts that your friends follow.
"Twitter has fundamentally only shown tweets and retweets posted by accounts you personally follow in timelines to date," the Verge reported.
The new experiment by Twitter has left some of its users annoyed, the report added.
According to them, favouriting is inherently a private action.
Many users do not use the favourite in the same way as a Facebook "Like".
Some use it as a simple acknowledgment of receiving a tweet or as a way of saying "thanks".
In a generic blog post on its website, Twitter said it "experiment(s) with features that may never be released to everyone who uses Twitter".
"They help us decide what not to do -- which is important as we work to keep Twitter simple while improving the user experience," it added.

I enjoyed Patrick's Take Five SP more and more this year, and thoroughly at 2012 Canadian Nationals. Compare his 2011 Canadian Nationals SP with his 2012 Canadian Nationals SP. I can see this year this SP has truly improved perfectly on everything, even IN and PE are perfecting! He truly deserves the over 100 score!

It always boggles my mind when you have some of the greatest and most respected skaters of all time championing Chan (Kurt, Toller) and then there's always Elvis 'Downer' Stojko acting like he's no big deal. We get it Elvis, you don't want to be on the Chan-Train, move on.
I somehow didn't realize that Canada has never won an Olympic gold in men's. Very surprising, considering the impressive men's champions they've had in the past.
That does put a lot of pressure on Patrick going into Sochi. Well, if he learns how to defend a world title, he'll be pretty well-prepared mentally for 2014. Season by season, he's dealing with more pressure, more expectations, and overall, despite some missteps, I think he's making forward progress.
well, i got my wish already, two clean, no fall skates from PC. It is great to see him do this...has he peaked in January? Worlds is very different, but he is the favorite by far. I wish Jeff Buttle had tried to compete in Vancouver...why did he quit in 2008? Made no sense to me. Sad thing is PC will likely leave skating after Sochi, esp if he gets gold, and we won't see him mature like we saw all the canadian greats who had so many pro opportunities. PC the CoP competitor. I hope he stays in for a few years as a pro. Great job Patrick!
Stojko still thinks he's the best, which is not, by kilometer miles...
The problem is that World is not the same as Olympic. Olympic gets all the attention, the media hypes etc. I think Chan should get a psychologist to help him if he needs one. Look at Kwan, no matter how great she was, she choked. Chan will have lots and lots of pressures, a lot will be from the media and Canada.

Yes, that's such a puzzling statistic. They've had practically a continuous stream of champs from Cranston through Orser, Browning, Stojko, Buttle, and now Chan. Bronzes, silvers, but no gold. In terms of champion material, no one else besides Russia and the U.S. been in that league (and for the U.S. I'm counting that postwar streak of Button/Hayes Jenkins/David Jenkins as well as Hamilton/Boitano/Lysacek.
It has certainly puzzled me for years. I've enjoyed all the worthy American gold medallists and envied their success. I'm not greedy. I'm happy to share the title! But oh, just once, let us get Olmpic gold and Mr. Filet Mignon seems our best chance. I was really shocked when Kurt didn't get it. My husband heard it on the news at work and had to stop in at a chocolate store on the way home to console me. U. S. has been so fortunate with its skaters, women especially.

What has surprised me a bit about Palin's speech tonight was how many foreign policy remarks there were, and what has been so disappointing, albeit grimly predictable, was how lamely she made the alarmist claims about Russia and other petro-states, as if regimes utterly dependent on their oil revenues to keep their creaking, mismanaged economies running are in any position to engage in embargoes. Her remarks about the BTC pipeline are worth pondering, since they echo so much of the hysterical commentary of the last few weeks, and they should cause us to look more closely at what was going on with the BTC pipeline last month. Hardly a publication prone to Russophilia, The Economist reported a few weeks ago that the BTC pipeline was shut down in mid-August not by the Russian campaign in Georgia, but instead by PKK terrorism in Turkey. Contrary to the propaganda that was being regularly offered as news reporting during the early days of the campaign, the pipeline inside Georgia was never bombed and, so far as I have been able to determine, was never even targeted. One of the central things that "everyone" claimed to know about the reason for the Russian campaign was basically wrong, and Sarah Palin just made this erroneous claim a significant part of her demonstration of her foreign policy acumen.

Please review this section of the docs, here:
Tuning ZFS for Database Products - Oracle Solaris Tunable Parameters Reference Manual
The current recommendation is to match the ZFS file system recordsize to the OLTP applicaton block or recordsize.
Thanks, Cindy

Marco Milo-Oracle Jul 5, 2013 10:40 AM (in response to 984266)If you already know which is the 'access pattern' to the underlying filesystem, or in other words you know that your application will always perform I/O operations in 'chunks' of a fixed block size, then then it *may* have sense to change (generally reduce) the recordsize.

The Valley's Presbyterian churches have again organized a walk in support of an organization that helps people out of poverty.
The fourth Heifer Hike, a five-mile walk through the Valley, will take off from the Athens Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, according to information from the churches.
The group will leave from the church, located at 622½ South Main Street, and travel north to the Waverly Presbyterian Church, located at Park and Pennsylvania avenues. The route will wind through the streets of Sayre and South Waverly on the group's way to Waverly.
The churches began organizing the walk in 2009 and have held it every year since, except for 2011 when the September flood washed out the event, organizers said.
Walkers raise money for Heifer International, an organization that purchases farm animals for families in need throughout the world. The organization also provides farm management, nutrition and environmental education. Heifer International will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2014, according to information from the organization.
The walk regularly raises around $2,000 for the organization and attracts between 30 and 50 walkers each year, organizers said. Donations have purchased cows, pigs, sheep and chickens for communities in need.
Walkers are encouraged to join the event Oct. 6, but donations are also welcome. For more information or to donate, call the Waverly Presbyterian Church at (607) 565-4034, the Sayre Presbyterian Church at (570) 888-2143 or the Athens Presbyterian Church at (570) 888-6728.

Are you really a growth investor?
It's worth asking. Fast-moving tech stocks have taken a beating recently, leading to a slew of bargains for those with the guts to buy. Just ask investors who hold shares of Citrix Systems, which yesterday fell close to 4% after announcing that several of its online products had won awards. Sheesh.
No matter. All-Star investors bet on growth over the very long term. They know that:
- Businesses that make investors billions always begin as growth stocks.
- The best of them feature massive and identifiable competitive advantages.
- Growth as a strategy has the capacity to deliver 20% or greater annual returns for decades at a time.
How we do it
Of course, not all growth stocks will do. Our weekly hunt is for the next great multibagger. But unlike the Rule Breakers team, which scours everything from financial statements to trade magazines to clinical reports in its research, we're going to rely on our Motley Fool CAPS investor-intelligence database.
Specifically, we're looking for stocks that have earned a four- or five-star rating in CAPS and that are expected to grow their earnings by at least 20% annually over the next five years. Four- and five-star stocks are those that the community, on the whole, believes will outperform the S&P 500.
Let's have the list
Now, with that preamble behind us, here are five more top growth stocks:
Company |
Recent Price |
(5 max) |
Consensus 5-Year |
Alkermes (Nasdaq: ALKS ) |
$9.97 |
**** |
34.3% |
Synchronoss Technologies (Nasdaq: SNCR ) |
$8.60 |
**** |
28.8% |
WuXi PharmaTech (NYSE: WX ) |
$5.58 |
**** |
25.3% |
Atwood Oceanics (NYSE: ATW ) |
$14.35 |
***** |
25.0% |
Gmarket (Nasdaq: GMKT ) |
$13.07 |
**** |
21.4% |
Sources: Motley Fool CAPS, Yahoo! Finance.
Bear in mind that this isn't a list of recommendations. Instead, I offer these stocks as candidates for further research.
We have some interesting, if imperfect, companies to work with. Drug developer Alkermes recently failed to win approval for a diabetes treatment it has created in concert with Amylin Pharmaceuticals. Synchronoss Technologies, best known for its iPhone activation tools, gets mixed shareholder reviews. Offshore driller Atwood Oceanics shows all the signs of a stock on sale. And R&D contractor WuXi PharmaTech could be a monster stock.
If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em
My favorite this week, however, is South Korea's Gmarket, a regional auction site that shares a common thread with Argentina's MercadoLibre (Nasdaq: MELI ) and eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY ) . The U.S. e-auctions king already owns a piece of MercadoLibre and, as of August, was pursuing a stake in Gmarket.
A deal would make sense. eBay has been unable to beat Gmarket on its home turf and earns lower returns on invested capital than its Korean peer.
"There's no denying that eBay needs to be the top dog in a region for its network effect to really make its consumer-to-consumer marketplace work. Coming up short in Japan and China has been reason enough to retreat out of key markets instead of meander about as the silver medalist," wrote Foolish colleague Rick Munarriz back in August, when talk of a deal was a lot more lively.
Some of our best CAPS investors like Gmarket's position as much as Rick does. Of the last 10 All-Stars to rate the stock in CAPS, eight said it will outperform.
I think they're right, but I'm more interested your take. Would you buy Gmarket at current prices? Let us know by signing up for CAPS today. It's 100% free to participate.
See you back here next week with five more top growth stocks. Fool on!

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Extreme in its views, and long-winded in many sections, but I learned from it. The story has its ups and downs, but did good at keeping me interested throughout it's lengthy monologues and the like. I hated how Dagny goes from being respectable to being a self-righteous whore, I believe Rand modeled her after herself actually. There is nothing I can think or write about this novel that hasn't been thought or written by someone else. I am a big fan of Rand, I am looking forward to a documentary I have found on Netflix and I have a biography somewhere in my stacks as well. I did waffle a bit, almost taking away a star for the length of the Galt speech toward the end of the book, but then the fact that there was actual action and tension at the end of the book, I returned the star. My god it was long. This Audiobook was pretty good. Llike the other audio books I have listened to of Rand's work it includes an "introduction" that completely ruins the book. I would recommend skipping it, but as usual it is not as easy to do as it should be (why can't this intro be a separate CD, or provide instructions to "skip to track 15 to avoid possible spoilers"? The story was written in 1957 and set "in the not too distant future" So I guess its a hypothetical 1960s? At firt I really loved this story. An epic that occurs in a real world situation of corporate America and the battle between competitors and the government and the unions. The "flash back" to the relationship between Dagny Taggart and Francisco d'Anconia lead me to believe that this may be the first novel I've ever read where the sex scenes were tasteful and necessary to the development of the story, however the inclusion of the affair between Hank Rearden I feel the need to change my opinon of that. For the most part the CD changes where examplirery. Not just the "This story is continued on disc 8" but more importantly the story steemed to get to a perfect transition point with the end of each CD. I thought this was on purpose, until "Part I ended in the middle of disc 15 of a 16 disc set. Why not just let that be the end, particularly if you are turn Disc length throughout? All in all a good story and I'm look forward to the rest. A huge sized classic, it's nearly 48 hours long. The introduction helped a lot, interpreting the book before it wanes on and on and on...actually piqued my interest. Alas, the actual reading was boring. Rand claims that objectivism's tenet is that consciousness exists separately from reality -- this book is supposed to be about that. However, it's not crystal clear and the reader must induce same...over hours and hours and hours of listening. Other evaluators claim that the book is anti liberal or anti conservative....bleah! It's a classic, long, boring book with a philosophy that has attracted some. I don't think I'll read any more Ayn Rand unless I find the Cliff Notes.
"Despite laborious monologues, the reader will stay with this strange world, borne along by its story and eloquent flow of ideas." "inspired" and "monumental" but "(t)o the Christian, everyone is redeemable. But Ayn Rand's ethical hardness may repel those who most need her message: that charity should be voluntary…. She should not have tried to rewrite the Sermon on the Mount." "to warn contemporary America against abandoning its factories, neglecting technological progress and abolishing the profit motive seems a little like admonishing water against running uphill." Atlas Shrugged represents a watershed in the history of world literature. "remarkably silly" and "can be called a novel only by devaluing the term" ...

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (9)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452011876, Paperback)At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers. Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit. Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:18 -0400) The decisions of a few industrial leaders shake the roots of capitalism and reawaken man's awareness of himself as an heroic being.

i think i didnt get my kids enough xmas presents. i feel so gulity
Christmas isn't about the presents. It's about the family and the love and spending time together.
It's only about opening a few. (honestly) Not how many you get. It's about the feelings behind the presents, more so than the presents.
Your kids love you very much and are happy with what they got, why can't you be happy that they are happy?
I think everyone feels that way. A lot of people have insecurities about not getting enough presents for their kids and doing enough stuff for their kids and such, even when they are doing just fine.
Don't stress. Your kids are still young and they are happy to have your love.
Why not go back to school and make a better life for your kids if you are so worried?
You should not feel this guilty about presents. I know society puts a lot of pressure on parents to buy, buy buy, but the truthful meaning of christmas has nothing to do with gifts - at least not materialistic gifts. If you are low income but are providing a safe, healthy and harmonious environment to your kids, it is worth a million times more than stuff.
Take it from me, there was a year my kids were surrounded by gifts but their dad was not there and that is what they remember. NOT having him there. This time we ensured that we cooked a small meal and spent time together and began to explain to them that there are so many kids that are in need and trust me, there is a lot of low income nowadays due to the economy....
Enjoy your kids, love them and you will see that they will be ok.

Great imagery. Great technology team.
Very poor new leadership, they do not know what to do with the company. Extremely low morale,
Low pay, well below market. Declining sales comes with cost cutting so everyone is afraid of losing their job. Management treats employees like chattel because of the poor job market. Sales management spends most of their time looking at spreadsheets instead of getting in front of customers to learn what they can do to stimulate sales. Keep away from this company at all costsAdvice to Management
The Board of Directors of this company need to completely replace the executive management team across all sales and marketing functional areas. Sales will continue to decline until this action is taken because these folks are completely lost and out of touch with the business. None of the new executive staff even came from the industry so they are clueless about what to do except fire people becasue of their poor performance.

Pictometry has a very cool proprietary technology that is unique to the industry and we are doing some very cutting edge stuff.
The senior management is looking to sell the company in a few years and they are making it a shell in order to make it look like we are incredibly profitable. Completely unrealistic expectations in all regards. Senior management thinks you are worthless and has no problem replacing anyone with differing ideas. Pay and benefits are well below competitors in the industry.
Advice to Management
Please look at the long term viability of the company. You may sell the company in a few years, but it will result in hundreds of people losing their jobs because you have cut everything to make us look incredibly profitable.

The Walking Dead Season 4's New Showrunner: I Had "Very Intensive Conversations" With Cast
He speaks! Scott Gimple, the new showrunner for The Walking Dead Season 4, has mostly been a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. He's best known as the writer of some of the most lauded episodes of TWD, including Season 2's "Pretty Much Dead Already" (the Sophia barn episode), Season 3's "Clear" (the Morgan episode) and Season 3's "This Sorrowful Life" (RIP Merle). TWD is his first showrunner job, and he got this gig after Glen Mazzara's surprise Season 3 ousting. Glen's own run was a surprise after the shock of original showrunner Frank Darabont's departure. Scott hopes to last longer than both of them, and he talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his process so far, including how he approached the cast. The actors already knew him, but it's different when you're talking to them as their third boss after three seasons. What were those conversations like? "It was about the show," Scott said. "It was about considering all the great things we were doing right. It's a very fine line with talking with the cast because I really do want to keep them in the loop thematically as to where we're going without being totally spoilery. I'm very spoiler-phobic in every way, and I don't want the cast to know everything that's going to be happening." (Side note: Dang it! We want more spoiler-friendly TWD bosses. Glen Mazzara was a good teaser. Robert Kirkman has been the worst.) Gimple continued, talking about the cast, "But we did have very intensive conversations about where their characters were going thematically. They did a lot of talking to me that was just very supportive. A lot of people have been saying — and it's been very humbling — that they want to see me succeed. It's kind of like Doctor Who. I'd like to be a Tom Baker [the longest-running Doctor on the series]. Andy [Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes] was massively supportive. He really dug a lot of the work I had done. 'Clear' was one of his favorite episodes, and he was looking forward to more of that. All the cast members have said something to the effect of, 'Tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it.'" The cast seems like a supportive, positive group. They know they have great jobs and at the very least they have a great writer at the helm. Norman Reedus (Daryl) even said Season 4 has the best scripts so far. Are you curious to see the new showrunner's vision, or are you not planning to get too attached in case he's replaced too?
