Private real estate firm Meadow Partners launched sales on Wednesday at 866 United Nations Plaza, its converted 471,000-square-foot class A office building on 48th Street between First Avenue and FDR Drive.

Private real estate firm Meadow Partners launched sales on Wednesday at 866 United Nations Plaza, its converted 471,000-square-foot class A office building on 48th Street between First Avenue and FDR Drive.
The Chelsea Arts Tower has two commercial condominiums available that may just be the priciest office space ever offered in New York City.
The top floor condo, asking $2,800 per square foot, and space on the fourteenth floor for $1,600 per square foot would put as much as $12 million and $8 million, respectively, in developer Jack Guttman's wallet. [more]
A surge of sales and corresponding lack of supply is driving up the prices of New York City's office condominiums.
Only about 300,000 square feet of available office condo space exists citywide, and that dearth of supply has nudged prices up 30 percent from the second half of 2012, according to a July market report from Rudder Property Group. [more]
Gary Barnett's Extell Development and Cammeby's International is putting up for a sale a three-story
office space for $625 per square foot at the site of a 30-floor converted
condo tower in Turtle Bay .
The office condo, at 211 East 46th Street office, is located on the third to
fifth floors of the tower, which can be acquired as three separate units
measuring 9,800 square feet, or one large 29,000-square-foot space.
"The floors had been occupied by a tenant, and now that tenant is moving
out and they're going to sell these three floors," said Michael Rudder,
principal at Manhattan-based Rudder Property, which is listing the
property. … [more]
Iluna USA, a clothier specializing in women's intimate apparel, has
purchased a half-floor office condominium unit at 110 East 40th Street
for $2.75 million, according to Rudder Property Group, which
represented the buyer in the transaction. The office building, located
between Park and Lexington avenues, is now nearly 50 percent sold,
according to firm founder Michael Rudder. Developer Philips
International purchased 110 East 40th Street in January
2009 for $35 million. TRD
… [more]
Commercial real estate firm Winoker Realty and Time Equities have negotiated an 11,294-square-foot office condominium sale at a price of $5.08 million for the seventh floor of 70 West 36th Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. Winoker represented the buyer, a mid-sized software development company, while Michael Rudder, who is now with the Rudder Property Group (note: correction appended), represented the entire 16-floor building on behalf of its owner, Time Equities. As more office buildings are being converted to office condos, more tenants are considering buying rather then renting, said Jonata Dayan, senior vice president at Winoker. "Our office is actively moving condo sales through the pipeline as we speak," she said. There has also been an increase in office condo sales. "Buyers are purchasing at prices that reflect a 40 percent discount from a couple of years ago because they recognize the tremendous long-term investment value this represents," said Michael Rudder, principal with Rudder. "70 West 36th Street offers an unusually good opportunity to acquire well-priced space in a high-quality building." TRD

Feng shui — the Chinese system of beliefs that governs building design, the calendar and numbers, and which is followed by people in other cultures, especially in East Asia — is playing more of a role in real estate deals, as Asian buyers are populating the market, said Michael Rudder, a broker at Time Equities. Feng shui has been used in the past as well, The Real Deal reported in a webcast, with brokers using unconventional methods, including a cleansing ritual used by a feng shui consultant to help sell apartments. Rudder — who first encountered feng shui in 2007 — said that since the number of Asian buyers and lessees in New York has surged this year, he and other brokers are learning just how influential it can be, the New York Times reported. Buyers often come equipped with elaborate feng shui kits to measure a property, said Rudder. With the commercial market in New York still soft, Rudder said almost all of his recent sales of office condominiums have been to foreign buyers, especially those based in Asia, where the economy is booming. "They have this huge appetite for office condos," he said, and since they don't want to pay rent, he has redirected his marketing plan to accommodate them. [NYT]
… [more]
The dollar volume of office condominium sales in Manhattan slipped by nearly a third last year to its lowest level since 2005, a report released today by condo developer Time Equities shows.
The value of condos sold fell to $158 million in 2009, the weakest year since 2005 when just $49 million sold, the report, which covers 2009 sales data, shows. The volume in 2008 was $233 million.
The total amount of square feet sold fell by 42 percent to barely 220,000 last year from over 379,000 in 2008. As of the end of 2009, there were 8.2 million square feet of commercial condos in 76 buildings, Time Equities data show.
The report's author Michael Rudder, director of sales and leasing for Time Equities, said the decline was representative of the broader sales market.
The drop, however, was not as steep as the overall 72 percent fall in Manhattan building sales volume last year as reported last month by commercial sales firm Massey Knakal Realty Services. … [more]

Human Resource Management Internships
Arielle Kaufman, Human Resources Intern at Modern Woodmen
Company Overview
Currently, I am a Human Resources intern at Modern Woodmen of America out of the Appleton office. I work under the Regional Director who is responsible for all of the agents in the surrounding area. Modern Woodmen is the 3rd largest fraternal financial firm in the country. The agents act as financial representatives and assist in fulfilling their client's insurance needs. They ensure that their clients are set for the future, financially. As a company, they also do a lot to give back to their communities.
What I Do At My Internship
As a Human Resources intern, I am responsible for all the recruits that come into the office. I handle all of the incoming resumes as well as looking for potential recruits. Because most of the resumes and applications come in over the internet, some of the work I do can be done from the comfort of my own home. I receive the resumes through my email and use the company's intranet system to document them and keep them organized. Through doing this internship, I have learned that I chose the right major for myself. I love doing the HR side of the business and am learning what it takes to be good at the job.
How I Found My Internship
In my senior year, I took the Professional Skills class that is offered by the College of Business through Career Services. One of the requirements of the class was to attend a Networking Night with a variety of different employers. At Networking Night, I had the opportunity to meet Richard Parks with Modern Woodmen. He was mainly looking for Finance majors but he stopped me and started a conversation. We seemed to hit it off right away and he explained to me what he was looking for in an HR intern.
After Networking Night, he LinkedIn with me and sent me a message that he looked forward to speaking with me further at the Career Fair the following week. I stopped by the booth and he had information all laid out for me on what he wanted from the HR side. I was immediately interested and we set up an on-campus interview.
This should be a lesson to all to use Career Services to your fullest advantage. It is how I made the connection and got my internship!
Brooke Harkins, HR Intern, City of Oshkosh
Company Overview
I am currently the Human Resources Intern for the City of Oshkosh. The City of Oshkosh provides services to the City of Oshkosh 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through the Police, Fire, Transit, Public Works, and Parks Department, just to name a few. It operates under a City Council, who acts as the legislative and policy making body of the City, and a City Manager, who is responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the activities of the City. The City Manager is in charge of 620 full and part time employees.
Responsibilities & Projects
One of my projects was to research other cities' and counties' sexual harassment policies and anti-bullying policies. Once I reviewed my gathered information, I made recommendations for adjustments and additions to the City of Oshkosh's policy. Another project was to research and compile information on the City's comparables to prepare for the upcoming Police, Fire, and Transit union contract negotiations. I was able to participate in multiple interview panels and provide feedback on the candidates' responses and qualifications and provide recommendations on who to hire. And, I am currently conducting research on the Best Practices for Wellness Committees to present to the head of the Wellness Committee, my supervisor, and the Assistant City Manager.
Impact of My Internship Experience
My internship experience confirmed that I chose the correct major. I have really enjoyed my internship with the City of Oshkosh, I met a lot of great professionals and got to experience and learn a lot.
Brooke Maguire, Pierce Manufacturing
Obtaining My Internship
The first step I took in obtaining an internship starting freshman and sophomore year were attending both the spring and fall Career Fair. I was able to network with a variety of organizations and got a taste of what I wanted in an internship. Leading into junior year, I conducted three informational interviews, one of the companies being Oshkosh Corporation. After my informational interview with Oshkosh Corporation, I was contacted by a recruiter to discuss future internship opportunities for the Fall. When the fall semester started, I applied for the year round HR Internship with Oshkosh Corporation and connected with the same recruiter I was in contact with at the Career Fair. Within two days, I received a call to interview with Oshkosh Corporation's number one brand in the fire and emergency segment, Pierce Manufacturing. After two rounds of interviewing, I received the offer for the HR Internship.
Connecting with Other Interns
Oshkosh Corporation does an excellent job of putting together intern events so interns from different locations can get to know one another and network. These events vary from learning about future financial stability to going to a Green Bay Gambler's hockey game. Getting to connect with other interns in both a professional and social setting is a great way to learn how others balance working and being a full-time student. Oshkosh Corporation has put together a Facebook page for interns so we receive updates of different events throughout the year.
My Responsibilities/Projects
Overall, the HR Intern assists the HR department with any responsibilities or projects that may come up but the main focus is on recruiting, benefits, and employee relations. I assist my supervisor with setting up interviews with hiring managers, interviewing, calling candidates, and working with our Talent Acquisition and Management System (TAMS). Currently, I am the lead on hiring and placing our summer help; these are candidates who have parents who work at either Pierce Manufacturing or Oshkosh Airport Products. It's a great opportunity for me to complete all the steps of the new employee hiring process. Within benefits, I assist with open enrollment in November, and I manage Pierce's monthly service awards. I put together invitations, and PowerPoints recognizing employees for their years of service with Pierce. Employee Relations is something I observe more than take action. When any type of major employee issue arises, usually the HR Director will have me sit in on the meeting and take notes. Those type of situations you learn from experience and are definitely something I don't get exposed to in school. These three main areas are what make up my daily responsibilities and projects.
Chelsea Nest, Bemis Company
I am majoring in Human Resources Management, and I am currently interning with Bemis Company at their Curwood Division in New London. Bemis is a Fortune 500 company that specializes in flexible packaging used by leading food, consumer products, medical and pharmaceutical companies throughout the world. Bemis Company has about 78 facilities located in 12 countries with more than 20,000 employees worldwide.
How I Obtained My Internship
I began searching for a new internship in February of 2013. I had been the HR Intern for another company for about a year, so I felt it was time to make a change. First, I updated my resume with my current experience. Then, I posted it on Titan Jobs, updated my LinkedIn profile, and sent out a few emails to contacts I made through my professional network.
The day after I emailed my resume to the contact I made at Bemis, I received a phone call from their Talent Acquisition team! The team member informed me about an internship in New London that would be available in April. About 2 weeks later I had an interview at the Student Success Center, and about a week after that I had an on-site interview in New London.
Thankfully, the day after the on-site interview I received a phone call offering me the HR Internship position.
What I do in My Internship
I began working at the Bemis-Curwood plant in New London at the beginning of April. The internship was created due to the current HR supervisor going on leave until mid-August. I worked part-time until the semester was over, and then began working full-time. The HR supervisor left in mid-May, and I was left with many of her responsibilities.
The Curwood New London campus has three different plants, Curwood, Bemis Graphics and RE&D (Research, Engineering and Development). I work with two other HR employees to support these plants. Among the three plants we support about 675 employees, with about 500 of them being union workers.
A lot of my responsibilities involve recruiting. I am involved in the hiring process from start to finish. This includes: screening resumes, conducting phone interviews, conducting face to face interviews alone or with the hiring managers, scheduling the second interviews, making offers, and helping on-board the new employees.
Another part of my internship is being the HR representative for Bemis Graphics, which is part of the New London campus. Bemis Graphics has about 100 employees, and I am their main contact with any questions regarding benefits, employee relations, etc. Every Wednesday I have office hours for 2 hours where employees come and meet with me about any questions they may have.
Some of my other responsibilities include a payroll audit every other week, entering information into the HR Information System, assisting with FMLA claims, and helping answer general employee questions.
Looking Forward
I will be graduating in December, and feel prepared for a full-time HR position. With the coursework I have completed and two different internships I am excited for the opportunities I will have!
Chris Bloxdorf, HR Intern, Tempel Steel Company
I am currently the human resources intern at Tempel Steel Company located in Chicago, Illinois. I am going into my senior year at UW Oshkosh, were I am majoring in Human Resources and Economics.
Tempel Steel Company is the world's leading independent manufacturer of precision magnetic steel laminations and makes steel laminations for a wide range of products, including automobiles, power tools, home appliances, HVAC systems, generators and many other products. Tempel Steel was started in 1945 by Tempel Smith on the north side of Chicago, and today it has grown into a global company with locations in China, Mexico, Canada, India and Chicago.
What I do at my internship?
As the human resources intern at Tempel Steel my position is of a HR generalist. The great thing about interning at Tempel is they are allowing me to work in each area of human resources. It has been a great experience to be able to work in all the different areas of Tempel's human resources department. By having this opportunity I have been able to find out what areas of HR I like more than others.
When I work in recruiting, I am involved throughout the whole recruiting process. My responsibility's includes screening resumes, conducting phone interviews, setting up interviews with the hiring managers, conducting face to face interviews with the hiring managers and checking reference. Other areas of responsibility have been in benefits were I put employees benefit information into Tempel's information system. I also work in the area of training employees. I work with Tempel's HRIS system and type in information into the system that shows when an employee has completed the training and where they were training. Other responsibilities and projects I have include creating a new employee orientation presentation, creating job descriptions for current positions and helping set up company activities.
Obtaining my internship
I was looking for an internship summer of 2014 and was wanting to intern in the Chicago area. I contacted a person I know at Tempel in early February to see if they would be hiring interns in human resources this summer. He then gave me the email address to Tempel's HR Manager. I emailed Tempel's HR Manager my resume and cover letter explaining how I wanted to intern this summer at Tempel and was going to be in the Chicago land area this summer. I was then given a phone interview which lasted about 20 minutes. I was really nervous having interviewed a couple of other companies that did not work out. I was really hoping I would do well in the phone interview. At the end of the interview I was asked if I wanted to come in and do an in person interview which I agreed to. In my in person interview I was interviewed by the V.P. of Human Resources and the HR manager. After the interview I was very nervous about whether I was going to get the internship or not. Three weeks later, I got the job.
What I have learned
I have learned a lot during my internship and have been a great learning experience. One of the things I learned about working in HR is you have to be quick to changes in the workday. You could be working on a project when something else more important comes up that takes precedence over your current work and you have to stop what you are working and focus on the new problem or project that came up. I saw this a lot with the Tempel's benefits expert with people randomly coming into her office with questions on their employee benefits causing her to stop what she was working on to educate an employee on their benefits. I would also say I have learned a lot about staying organized and how important organization is with different projects and task coming up randomly.
Hillary Johnson, Recruitment Intern, Ministry Health Care
Internship overview
Upon entering my senior year at UW Oshkosh, I began a new internship with the Recruitment Team at Ministry Health Care. As a Human Resources Management major with a Healthcare Management emphasis, this was the perfect opportunity to apply my education within the industry I hope to be in after graduation. I operate primarily out of Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh, assisting a virtual team of recruiters filling positions for locations throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. My duties include participating in intake sessions, phone interviews, and offer negotiations, dispositioning candidates through the hire process, assisting in coordination of job fairs and events, and updating the applicant tracking system, among other recruitment projects and initiatives.
Obtaining my internship
I first heard of the internship with Ministry Health Care through the UW Oshkosh SHRM Chapter. The current intern at the time was serving on the SHRM board and was graduating at the end of the semester, and shared the upcoming opportunity with other members. As I was anxious for more human resources experience within the healthcare field, I applied to the internship soon after. I then completed a phone interview with another current intern, a face-to-face interview with three recruiters, and an additional phone interview with the Recruitment Manager before being offered the position.
Internship impact on career path
A major struggle I had going into my internships was deciding what area of human resources I wanted to focus on after graduation. The field of human resources has a wide array of niche areas to choose from (employee relations, recruiting, HRIS, benefits, etc.), and I credit my internships for helping me to narrow down my areas of interest. I really enjoy healthcare recruiting, as you are able to indirectly impact patient care and work to recruit associates that do incredible things each and every day. Through my experiences, I have also come to realize my ultimate goal of working in corporate wellness within a fast-paced healthcare setting.
Advice for students beginning the internship search
The biggest piece of advice I would share with students would be to seek out internships early in your college career and try to complete multiple internships if possible. I have interned with the UW Oshkosh Human Resources Office, The Medical College of Wisconsin, and now Ministry Health Care, and all have greatly impacted my professional development and level of confidence. My overall understanding of human resource management has also increased, as each organization has given me a new perspective and has allowed me to apply concepts learned through my courses directly to real world situations. Finally, interning with multiple organizations has allowed me to evaluate what type of organizational culture and environment I would like to be in after graduation.
Jessica Miller, Pinnacle Machine LLC
Company Overview
Currently I am a proud intern at Pinnacle Machine LLC located in Appleton Wisconsin. I work as a Human Resources Manager. This consists of aiding employees with any needs they may have from benefits to scheduling conflicts, designing and implementing recruitment and evaluation processes, modifying the handbook, and overall helping in the development of a Human Resources department for the first time.
Pinnacle Machine began production in 1993 as a small three man shop, including owner Don Miller. Since that time they have grown steadily into a forty-five plus employee operation. Pinnacle Machine specializes in using exotic materials in the engineering, designing and creating of various metal products; a major market being that of hydro plants. Thirty machines varying from mills to lathes to CNCs produce products such as pumps, casings, shafts, and impellers. Pinnacle Machines products may be found around the local Fox Valley area, throughout the United States, and in a few other countries. Pinnacle Machine continues to become a key player in the machining industry and has recently began the acquisition of another plant which will double the size of the organization.
Obtaining my internship
Previous to being offered the internship at Pinnacle Machine I had worked as an employee for five years doing basic reception work. In that time I developed strong relationships with my supervisors and co-workers, making them aware of my studies and progress throughout my college career. I had discussed with the owner, of whom I often did secretary work for, about the benefits of developing a Human Resources department, especially given the growth planned for the near future. Shortly thereafter I was called into a private meeting with him and two of my other supervisors. At first, I was nervous that I overstepped my boundaries suggesting such a change as a whole additional department; after all I was there to answer phones, not give advice to a man who built a company from scratch before I was even walking. My fears subsided when upon walking into the room he smiled and asked if I was up for a challenge, knowing I was looking for an internship for school; he offered me the opportunity to head in the development of the beginning of a Human Resources department, given I could demonstrate it was beneficial. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity as I was already a member of the Pinnacle team and culture, and shortly after began the development of the department to the best of my ability; with him and other management mentoring and supporting my knowledge on the subject.
What I learned
I am forever grateful for the opportunity given to me by Pinnacle Machine and its management team, as it has taught me so much about myself, my career choice, and what I can expect as a business professional. I have learned that I can be confident in the education I am receiving as it truly does assist in my daily duties. I have also learned that if I truly am passionate about something and have the motivation I do have the ability to get programs implemented and make a huge difference in the organization as a whole. Perhaps the most important thing about myself that I have learned is that I am now viewed as a professional and can be proud of that. My internship additionally has made me confident in my choice of major and ultimately career. I actually enjoy getting up in the morning, going to work and feeling like I made the workplace a better place that day, or the company a little more efficient. Lastly, I have had the first opportunity to sit in with many of the management team and owners to get an idea of what a life as a business professional entails; things that you cannot read in books.
Inevitably, I also learned and developed many of the skills desirable in a Human Resources position. I was given the opportunity and resources to try new things and the support to implement many of my ideas. This gave me daily practice of a HR professional, only strengthening my experience.
The internship at Pinnacle Machine has been one of the most rewarding adventures of my college career. I was able to be part of a company that let me put all that I was learning in the class room to action and trusted in my education. This gave me the opportunity for hands on experience at both failure and success in an active work environment; allowing me to grow wiser on the subject. Upon completion on the internship at Pinnacle I am hoping to secure a full time position.
Stephanie Thibodeau, HR Intern, Alta Resources
I am currently a senior at UWO majoring in Human Resources Management. I am a Human Resources Intern at Alta Resources in Neenah. Alta is a business to business outsourcer for many different fortune 500 companies. We specialize in Care, Sales, E-commerce, fulfillment, and Back-office Services. Alta has grown substantially since they were established in 1995 and now have locations in Wisconsin, California, Florida, Michigan, and the Philippines.
Obtaining my internship
I had applied to Alta for a different job a few years ago but decided to go a different route and then I saw the HR Intern position located on Titan Jobs in March, so I applied. The recruiter remembered seeing my name from when I applied with the company earlier and was eager to set up an interview. I felt my interview with the recruiter went well so I stopped at their booth at the career fair just to reiterate how much I would like to work for Alta. A couple days later I received a call that they wanted to set up a in person interview. I felt great going into the interview and was offered the job a few days later!
I am one of the main people in charge of Alta's ACE of Hearts program. ACE stands for Alta Customer Experience and ACE's can be awarded to employees who do an outstanding job of driving performance in alignment with our strategic mandates. I compose the certificates and give them to the CEO to sign. After they have been signed I connect with the leaders so they can pick up the awards.
I have just recently been assigned the task of making sure all employees that require HIPAA training are signed up for training and complete it within a certain time frame. I then have to add their completed training into our HRIS system.
I am also responsible for running monthly audits on various topics ranging from benefits to hours worked weekly by part-time employees.
How this internship has impacted my overall career goals
I went into this internship wanting to be in recruiting and now that I work with compensation and benefits everyday it is hard for me to decide which end of Human Resources I ultimately will end up in. I have been working on getting more into the recruiting aspect to help make my decision.

Another building in Downtown Dothan is on the chopping block. The Booker Building on East Main Street has been on the Dothan Downtown Redevelopment Authority's radar for about four years Structural reports showed it would take more to restore the building than to demolish it. However, unlike Saints Apartments, Executive Director of the DDRA Jansen Tidmore said they would like to see something new built there.
"We do believe that that lot is very important for a structure for downtown, so our board is looking to market that site for development. We hope to see a new structure built there," explained Tidmore.
The DDRA must get approval from the Historic Preservation Commission before moving forward with demolition.

The list of actors and actresses who've played a member of royalty or nobility goes on and on, but there are only a handful that set hearts a-flutter.

If you subscribe to same notion as my mother, then you are sadly packing away your summer whites. For those of us who think we are privileged enough to wear it year-round, white can be a spectacular canvas on which to build.
In honor of another royal wedding (this time in Monaco, celebrating the union of Andrea Casiraghi and his longtime love, Tatiana Santa Domingo), let us celebrate all that is dazzling, interesting and historically rich about royalty. Read More »
Officially, only the Duke of Cambridge was due to attend the Ring O' Fire race in Anglesey, Wales today. However, the palace hinted to some insiders that the Duchess of Cambridge might join him, should she feel up to it.
Today, the glowing new mother did indeed feel up to help William ring the bell. Just before the royal couple arrived to the start of the race, Kensington Palace tweeted the update, which included an appearance by Her Royal Highness.
Word on The King's road is the Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, the Duchess of York are keen to remarry. Whether or not this rumor is true, the parents to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie get on marvelously for two divorced people.
Yesterday, the Duchess of Cambridge did a spot of grocery shopping in Anglesey, Wales, where she and Prince William have rented a farmhouse for the past couple of years.

Diana, the biopic based on Kate Snell's book about the Princess of Wales and her lover, Dr. Hasnat Khan, is due to open internationally on September 5th. The world premiere will take place in London's Leicester Square. The US release date for the film, starring Naomi Watts and Naveen Andrews, is currently slated for November 1st.
Dr. Khan, a heart surgeon, met the Princess at the Royal Brompton Hospital, while treating her friend's husband. The couple secretly dated for two years, and broke up shortly before Diana's death in August 1997. Dr. Khan spoke to the Mail on Sunday this weekend about the upcoming film, and his disapproval, despite producers claiming they had his "tacit acceptance."
When the Daily Express spotted Sarah, Duchess of York deplaning in Aberdeen en route for Balmoral Castle, I knew in an instant that Fergie was making her way back into the royal fold.
The report was published on August 11th, just one day before Prince Philip was to join Her Majesty at their Scottish retreat. Ferguson, who divorced Prince Andrew in 1996, has been persona non grata in the royal family for a string of reasons: Getting her toes sucked by a financial advisor while her eldest daughter was nearby, attempting to sell information on her ex-husband to an undercover journalist. The list goes on and on, but the fact remains that Fergie hasn't been warmly received by the House of Windsor in quite some time.

Meek Mill - Repo (Cassidy Diss)
|3 years ago
|class of '04 - away - #163
No lie meek went in but this definitely ain't a proper diss track.Only a few decent lines actually at cass.I usually hate everything meek does but this wasn't bad at all.Terrible as a diss track but a decent track overall.
However it could lead to something,kinda like the bait diss before the big diss track.
Beat bangs tho.
I hope Cass gets a Sick beat from a major producer and not produce his own beat for his diss lol.
Cass will eat this n*gga and I cant wait.

Don't want to hear ANY opinions. Can anyone do me a solid and pm me all cassidy's disses towards him? Any GDs put together an album cover for these yet? Would like to have a playlist to go through while at work tomorrow. Plus is this Meek's only response track wise?

That Ar ab line was nice probably the best. Is this Ether, No, but did he up the ante, Yes. This record deserves a response from Cass.
He came with it in the second half of the song.

All the sh*t I quoted was hot. When I listen to Meek I don't compare his sh*t to Nas cuz basically that's comparing him to the best or 1 of.

Sounds like a typical Meek Mill track; yellin' over a alright beat with nothing but mediocre bars. My only thing is, why is dude lettin' Cass' get so far under his skin? MUST be a reason. If you're really about this 'money' life like you say, and you think Cass is really a pawn; let the n*gga die on his own terms, hand, and sword - don't feed this n*gga attention and say 'you ain't sh*t'... "cause people from a distance can't tell who is who".

The naming of the film as The Unsent Letter seems a little bit
mystifying, in that it suggests that the whole film is about the
letter, whereas that's something of an under-developed tangent.
The story concerns four Soviet geologists, prospecting for diamonds in remote Siberia. Gentle and committed Marxist-Leninist folk, they are all in love, Tanya and Andrey with each other, Sabinine with the wife he left behind (Vera), and Sergey is left with the thorns of the rose, in unrequited love with Tanya (oh no!). The idea of the expedition is that a source of domestic sparklers will lead to the betterment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, perhaps even a new industrial revolution, releasing them from a reliance on foreign capitalists.
The popular wisdom of today (social Darwinism) has it that communism failed because humans are essentially selfish, human nature is competitive, families are nepotistic. Ideas about human nature being essentially negative were around before the establishment and subsequent collapse of any nations along principles looking something like Karl Marx's. The classic counterargument was made by Prince Kropotkin, (who himself led geological expeditions in Siberia) suggesting that human competitive behaviour was actually a marginal characteristic that capitalism had harnessed and brought front and centre, in aid of which he cited various anthropological cases, which pointed to the pre-eminence of the spirit of co-operation over the spirit of competition.
Why the history lesson? Well the folks in the movie were living under a different ideology, it was a hopeful ideology, where the spirit of co-operation was seen as an ideal. There were a class of people, represented in this film, who genuinely thrived under Marxist-Leninism (I do not deny the existence of nasties such as Joe Stalin and Beria and their havoc and undermining of Marxist-Leninist principles). It's critical that the way the characters think is understood, and is seen as realistic, for the film to sink in on any other than an aesthetic level (it is one of the most gorgeous movies ever made).
Kalatosov was a hardcore ideologue, an earlier film of his, Nail In The Boot, is hysterically Stalinist / Robespierre-ian. He's toned that down here, although he clearly sees the state as some sort of greater, potentially immortal entity in comparison to the individual. He really did feel that people could pull together in the same direction, for something bigger than themselves, it's simply not just propaganda for him to represent the many people who felt like that.
The reluctance to buy foreign diamonds is interesting because it's only superficially xenophobic, it's not like say, Americans not wanting to buy a foreign car. The Soviets believed that capitalist modes of production and wealth sharing were immoral, so buying South African diamonds was something inherently immoral for them, rather than about protectionism.
On a personal level I found Sergei Stepanovich's story very moving to me, I can't think where I've seen a character like this before. He's in love with someone who's already in a love story, he's jealous, but not ashamed about it. He's never felt that he loves anyone before and he's getting past the age where love stories typically happen, but he's too honourable to do anything dastardly about it to anyone but himself, wandering off into a metaphorical fire of desire. I've gone through the exact same experience, it's so rare to actually feel like a film-makers has have fashioned a character that I can identify with.
I mentioned that The Unsent Letter is one of the masterpieces of cinematography but the editing is brilliant too. I was staggered by one edit in particular, where the face of Vera is overlaid onto Sabinine's face, and they share one eye. I just felt, "What a perfect way to show that their souls had joined!". Kalatosov at heart seems to have been a bit of a romantic, and liked working in overpowering love stories into his work, for example in The Red Tent.

Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration: Unique Device Identification System
GAO-14-130R: Oct 23, 2013
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) new rule on its unique device identification system. GAO found that (1) the final rule requires the label of medical devices to include a unique device identifier (UDI), except where the rule provides for an exception or alternative placement. The labeler must submit product information concerning devices to FDA's Global Unique Device Identification Database, unless subject to an exception or alternative. The system established by this rule requires the label and device package of each medical device to include a UDI and requires that each UDI be provided in a plain-text version and in a form that uses automatic identification and data capture technology. The UDI will be required to be directly marked on the device itself if the device is intended to be used more than once and intended to be reprocessed before each use and (2) FDA complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

Alexander Smith
Thanks, Thea. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us today. Cary Turner, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is with me today, as is Kelley Buchhorn, our Director of Investor Relations.
As you already know, we announced our fourth quarter and fiscal year results earlier this morning. We also announced our board-approved three-year growth plan, formulated to drive sales, increase profitability and maximize shareholder value.
In just a few minutes, Cary will go over the highlights of our fourth quarter and year-end results. I will follow by briefly touching on our exceptional year just ended. But most of my prepared remarks today are about our growth plan and what our well-off company will look like in three to five years time.
As always, before we begin, I will ask Kelley to read to you the Safe Harbor Statement. Kelley?
Kelley Buchhorn
Thank you, Alex, and good morning, everyone. Prior to market open today, we issued two press releases. One included the detailed financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 26, 2011. And one included details of the company's board-approved three-year growth plan.
In just a few moments, we will hear comments from Alex and Cary about the financial results and growth initiatives, followed by a question-and-answer period.
Before we begin, I need to remind you that certain comments made during this call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and can be identified by the use of words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, believe and other similar words and phrases.
Our actual results and future financial conditions may differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements and as a result of many factors that may be outside of our control.
Please refer to our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of the major risks and uncertainties that may affect our business.
The forward-looking statements made today are as of the date of this call, and we do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements.
If you do not have a copy of today's press releases, you may obtain them, along with copies of prior press releases and all SEC filings, by linking through to the Investor Relations page of our website, pier1.com.
I would now like to turn the call over to Cary who will provide the highlights of our fourth quarter and fiscal year results. Cary?
Charles Turner
Thank you, Kelley. As reported in this morning's financial results press release, total sales for the fourth quarter increased 7.7% over the same period last year, and comp store sales increased 8.9% for the quarter on top of last year's fourth quarter comp store sales increase of 6.5%.
The sales increases resulted primarily from increases in store traffic, conversion rate and average ticket.
Merchandise margins for the quarter increased $27.9 million to $249 million or 58.4% of sales compared to 55.8% of sales last year, an increase of 260 basis points.
Merchandise margins continue to be positively impacted by lower markdown activity, strong input margins and well-managed inventory levels.
Store occupancy costs for the quarter were 15.6% of sales compared to 16.9% of sales in the fourth quarter last year.
Store occupancy cost declined $500,000 this quarter compared to last year. This was primarily attributable to the reduced store count since the end of the fourth quarter last year coupled with the benefit from favorable rent negotiations.
Gross profit for the quarter improved 390 basis points to 42.8% of sales compared to 38.9% of sales last year.
As detailed in the table in today's press release, SG&A expenses totaled $119 million for the fourth quarter compared to $113 million last year.
As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses for the quarter declined 60 basis points to 27.9% of sales compared to last year's 28.5% of sales for the same period.
Operating income for the fourth quarter was $58.4 million or 13.7% of sales compared to last year's fourth quarter operating income of $36 million or 9.1% of sales.
Total sales for the fiscal year increased 8.2% over last year, and comp store sales increased 10.9% compared to a comp store sales increase of 1.5% last year. As stated earlier, comp store sales increases were driven by improvements in traffic, conversion rate and average ticket.
At the end of the year, sales per retail square foot for the trailing 12 months were $168, up from $152 per square foot at the end of last year.
Merchandise margins for the year improved 380 basis points to a record 58.6% of sales compared to 54.8% of sales last year.

Was your LCD or drive "molded" into the dash? I have a '02 jetta and if you have a custom fab dash this would save me a bunch of work! Do you have pics?
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
I had a 7" Lilliput installed in my VW Jetta for all of two weeks when I got in an accident. It was a little more than a fender-bender, but the way I got hit was enough to rip a motor mount-- so my car was considered a total loss.
I've sinced moved on to another car, and am looking to buy a house... so now I have the following for sale:
** A 7" Lilliput XGA LCD with touchscreen. The LCD is in mint condition. I hacked the the bottom button area of the front plastic frame and melded it with a face plate from a VW Jetta CD player (as a cover for the DVD slot drive I'm selling below). However, I can free the hacked frame if you need it to fit a standard double-din slot. I'm asking for $200 shipped or best offer.
** SOLDAn iMac slim slot-load DVD-ROM drive, which has been hacked with an IDE interface. You can hook this up to your IDE chain, or use a USB-IDE adapter. I will also include the black plastic bezel cover (which covers the DVD drive perfectly and comes complete with a felt liner) so that you can easily integrate this into your exising setup-- assuming the buyer of the LCD doesn't want or need it. ** SOLD **
** A Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop with 2.4Ghz processor, 512MB of RAM, and a 20GB hardrive. Also comes with a built-in 802.11g wireless adapter, a Cardbus 3-port firewire card, and integrated DVD/CD-ROM drive. I was using this as the brains of my carputer. The unit is about two months old (still 9 months left on factory warranty) and is still in great shape. SOLD
It's been a few months since I've priced these things, so let me know (via PM) if my asking prices are out of line. Thanks!
Was your LCD or drive "molded" into the dash? I have a '02 jetta and if you have a custom fab dash this would save me a bunch of work! Do you have pics?

Keep in mind that in order to fit the LCD and and the slim DVD-rom drive, you will have to cut the cup-holder support area. You can fit just the LCD if you use just the double-din space below the cupholder.
I took a few pictures in the initial stage when I was molding the stuff together... you can find that thread here:
best plastic adhesive/filler?
As you can see, there's an area for the LCD and touchscreen, and just below is the DVD slot area. It also has the original buttons from the CD player put in, which you can wire and use for eject or power buttons. Also note the rectangular hole between the LCD area and the DVD-slot. This hole is now covered with thin plexiglass, and is where I put the IR sensor (all the buttons on the IR board glow blue, so the whole rectangle glows blue as well-- which gives a nice coordinated look with the Jetta). The whole frame is painted with SEM black interior paint, but you can of course paint it whatever color you want.
I obviously don't have my Jetta anymore, but if you want I can take some pictures of the finished, but no longer installed, unit. Let me know if any of that helps.
If you end up selling your custom molding and ppgt94 doesnt need the black face plate for your dvd drive I would like to buy just the face plate for the drive maybe you could give him off some and I could pay whatever less u sell it for. PM me if something like this comes up thanks or could work out
i will take dvd rom whole thing... if still available...
Ok, I have a couple of offers for the DVD-ROM drive with the faceplate...
Anyone need a 7" Lilliput with touchscreen?
hmmm...could you post pics of the lilliput screen as you would sell it now?
Hey sohr,
I thought I would make a public post declairing that I already have a dvd drive on order. I am no longer interested in the dvd drive (incase you were holding it).
I want to thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions. Good luck with the saling and I hope everything works out with your new project
Thanks ppgt94...Originally Posted by ppgt94
Yes, I was holding it for you (was waiting to see if anyone needed the Lilliput frame first, though). However, now I get to make someone else happy
Also, for those still interested in the LCD, I'll post some pictures tonight.
Any picture of the screen yet bro?
