Research Opportunities
Through mentored research with one of the faculty of the Division of Infectious Diseases, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology or with the Epidemiology Division of the State Health Department, fellows become familiar with problems of host defense mechanisms, epidemiology and pathogenesis, statistics, experimental design, modern research techniques, critical analysis of data, and organization of data for presentation and publication.
The investigators use state of the art techniques in epidemiology, clinical research design, virology, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and immunology. All fellows are encouraged and funded to attend an annual national meeting of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), where they are expected to present the results of their research.
Research projects may be clinical, epidemiological or laboratory investigations. They are expected to be of sufficient quality to be presented at national meetings and submitted for publication in a peer reviewed medical journal. Mentor-fellow arrangements are made sometime during the first year, after sufficient time has elapsed to become acquainted with the faculty and ongoing research opportunities. The total time devoted to research activities will depend on the fellow's long-term career objectives, but is expected to be at least twelve months in duration.
Current research interests of the faculty are broad, and include molecular pathogenesis of various viral and bacterial infections; basic science and clinical based research with HIV; research in our CDC/NIH "Emerging Pathogens" program; hospital epidemiology; epidemiology and mechanisms of antiviral and antibiotic resistance; pharmacokinetics and toxicity of antimicrobial agents; and clinical evaluation of new antimicrobial agents.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX turns positive, but Nexen, Progress drags
TORONTO Oct 22 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock turned positive on Monday, as firmer mining shares helped lift the market out of negative territory, but Canada's rejection of a foreign bid for Progress Energy Resources Corp hit energy shares, tempering gains.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index rose 0.36 of a point to 12,416.34. Six of the index's 10 main groups were higher.

CognitiveFocus Informe resumido
Project ID: 612681
País: United Kingdom
Periodic Report Summary 1 - COGNITIVEFOCUS (Four World Nodes for Brain Networks of Attention and Awareness)
A Group of cognitive neuroscience institutes join forces to enhance scientific advances on cognition through a series of collaborative actions centred on knowledge and information sharing and transfer through sustained cooperation. The project aims at realizing a high-level researchers' exchange and networking activities in cognitive neuroscience in health and disease. The research group has four Nodes: Cambridge (UK), Dublin (Ireland), Brisbane (Australia) and Melbourne (Australia). The topic to jointly investigate is the exploration of the mechanisms of human attention in healthy people and in those with disorders or brain injury. Attention is crucial in coordinating cognitive functions, and its relationship with consciousness and awareness, scarcely studied, will benefit of combined efforts from the Nodes looking at the manner this function of the brain works in normal participants and patients with brain disorders. The staff exchange will provide a very efficient opportunity to promote joint publications and to exploit the complementary expertise. The participants in the Network will exchange knowledge and get trained by using Workshops (to evaluate progress of the Network and set up new research lines), Seminars (training on specific topics), Visits (to exchange concrete methods and analysis techniques) and Experiments (research trips for collaborative experiments that would integrate expertise of several Nodes) as common coins for the integration of different areas of expertise in one common shared network. The project is embedded in and linked with several international research projects and coordinated by scientists that have been collaborating intermittently for 20 years. We plan dissemination events with policy makers both in Europe and Australia which will provide the respective communities with essential material for informed decisions on disorders of attention such as ADHD, Alzheimer, traumatic brain injury, and hypoxic/anoxic brain injury.
The project is now at the mid-way point. To initiate the work between the Nodes, the coordinator, TB, travelled to Australia to visit both non EU nodes from the first months of the project. In these first few months (January – May 2014) TB started the projects' set up with both Australian nodes. The outcome of this first half of the project is very positive as per the evaluation in June 2015 between the PIs. The projects are well ahead of schedule although the trips are slightly under the target, which means that we have managed to do more with less and we will be able to surpass the original aims of the project, and moreover, to attain the new objectives we have set during the development of the project.
In the first two years the following progress has been made in the various areas of the project:
Working Package1 Knowledge Exchange Workshops: The first Cognitive Focus workshop happened in August 2014 and it was instrumental in the advance of the other WPs. The second Cognitive Focus workshop has been delayed to October 2015 since the communication was fluent between the members of the nodes and there was no need for a wide meeting.
Working Package 2 and Working Package 3 Experimental Developments and Interchange Visits: The experiments planned between several participants from the Nodes have been successful in most cases and led to knowledge and technical exchange. They constitute the core of the experimental, hands-on, series of collaborations that have evolved during this first half of the project. Outcomes in terms of basic science are in midway, with some tasks with preliminary results and some in data analyses stages as expected. The exchange of skills between the Nodes has surpassed the expectations, leading to techniques now being applied ahead of schedule.
Working Package 4 Seminars: The seminars that facilitate knowledge transfer between the participating research groups have been successful as they have been most of the visits paired with the WP2 and WP3. Formal training has been as important as informal exchange of technical and theoretical knowledge, leading to further exchange between the Nodes in this first half of the project.
Working Package 5 Project Management and dissemination: A good advance in people's logistics and management has taken place, improving the organisation of exchange visits, some delays in the website and very successful implementation of the data transfer and scripts web software sharing between nodes. The coordination of this grant transferred from the Medical Research Council to the University of Cambridge when the lead scientist transferred his employment, effective 1st April 2015. The Medical Research Council therefore left the project effective 31st March 2015.
In short, the project has benefited hugely from the continuous communication at various levels (PIs, posdoc, PhD-master) enabling the transfer of knowledge and expertise in a successful manner. Most subprojects are in progress and some have already finished and getting written or already submitted. CognitiveFocus is on target and in shape for the second half of the Project.

Georgia Wrongful Termination Laws
Have you recently lost your job? If so, you might be wondering whether you have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit. In Georgia, as in other states, employees work at will. This means an employee can generally be fired at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.
But there are some exceptions to the at-will rule. If your Georgia employer fires you for discriminatory reasons, in violation of an employment contract, or in retaliation for exercising your rights, for example, you may have a legal claim against your employer for wrongful termination.
Every state's laws on wrongful termination are different. This article covers some of the common legal grounds you might have for suing your Georgia employer for wrongful termination. But it's not a comprehensive list of employment rights in Georgia, which can change as courts issue new rulings and legislators pass or modify laws. To find out the full extent of your legal claims, speak to an experienced Georgia employment lawyer. To learn more about Georgia employment law, contact Georgia's Department of Labor.
Discriminatory Firing
Under federal law, it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee based on a protected characteristic. Federal law prohibits employers from firing employees based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, religion, age (if the employee is at least 40), disability, citizenship status, or genetic information. However, only certain employers must comply with these laws. For most types of discrimination, the law apply to employers with 15 or more employees. However, the prohibition against age discrimination applies to employers with 20 or more employees, and the ban against citizenship status discrimination applies to employers with only four or more employees.
Georgia law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (for wage discrimination claims only), disability, and age (40 to 70 only). Georgia employers with at least 15 employees must comply with most of these laws; employees with at least ten employees must comply with the law prohibiting sex-based wage discrimination.
These laws also make it illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for asserting your rights. For example, if you complain to your company's HR department that you believe you were passed over for promotion because of your age, your employer may not discipline or fire you for your complaint. Likewise, your employer cannot fire you for participating in an investigation of a discrimination complaint (no matter who made the complaint), testifying in court, or making other efforts to stop discriminatory practices.
Before filing a discrimination or retaliation lawsuit, you must file a complaint with the appropriate government agency. In Georgia, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) administers federal and state discrimination claims. The EEOC has a district office in Atlanta; you can find out where to file a complaint at the EEOC's Field Offices page.
Breach of Contract
If you have an employment contract promising you job security, you may not be an at-will employee. In Georgia, an employment contract may be written, oral, or implied. In the first two types of contracts, your employer makes oral or written promises not to fire you for a certain period of time without good cause. In an implied contract, your employer acts in a way that creates a reasonable expectation that you would continue to be employed. For example, if your employee handbook has a disciplinary procedure that must be followed before an employee is terminated, that may create an implied contract that you won't be fired unless certain steps are taken. If you have an employment contract and your employer fires you without good cause, you have a legal claim for breach of contract.
Wage and Hour Issues
In Georgia, employees are entitled to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. While Georgia doesn't have its own overtime laws, under federal law, employees are entitled to receive overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a workweek. Georgia does not require employers to provide meal or rest breaks. However, employers who choose to offer breaks of 20 minutes of less must pay their employees for that time. Under federal law, it is illegal for employers to fire employees for exercising their rights under federal wage and hour laws.
Time Off Work
State and federal laws give employees the right to take time off work for certain civic obligations and personal responsibilities. Employers may not discipline or fire workers for exercising these rights. In Georgia, these rights include:
- Military leave. Under federal law, employees have the right to take up to five years of leave to serve in the military, with the right to be reinstated when they return to work. (This law also prohibits discrimination against employees based on their military service, protects employees from discharge without good cause for up to one year after they return from military duty, and provides other protections; see Nolo's article Taking Military Leave for more information.) Under Georgia law, employees who are members of the Georgia National Guard or the federal Armed Forces are entitled to unlimited unpaid leave if called to active state or federal service. These employees are also entitled to take up to six months of leave in any four-year period to attend annual training or service school. Employees must be reinstated following their leave.
- Voting leave. Employees are entitled to up to two hours of leave to vote, unless they have two hours off before or after their shifts while polls are open.
- Jury duty. According to the Georgia Attorney General, employers must pay employees their usual wages while they are serving on a duty, minus any jury fees the employee receives from the court. Employers who fire or penalize an employee for jury service are subject to criminal penalties and damages in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
- Family and medical leave. Georgia does not have its own family medical leave law, but Georgia employees are protected by the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide eligible employees with up to 12 weeks off, unpaid, every year for a serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, to care for a new child, or to handle certain practical matters arising out of a family member's military service. Employees can take up to 26 weeks off in a single year to care for a family member who is seriously injured while serving in the military. Employees who take FMLA leave must be reinstated to the same position once their leave is over. For more information on the FMLA, see the articles at Nolo's FMLA page.
What to Do Next
If you think you were fired illegally, talk to a Georgia employment lawyer. A lawyer can help you sort through the facts and assess the strength of your claims. A lawyer can also inform you of other state or local claims that you may have in addition to those listed above. Whether you want to try to get your job back, negotiate a severance package, or sue your employer in court, a lawyer can walk you through your options and help you decide on how best to proceed.

Damaged PC after thunderstorm
During the thunderstorm yesterday my PC got damaged. When I returned the PC was off and refused to start. There is no visual damage. Nothing burned through, etc.
It's a Phenom 2 X 4 in an Asus mainboard.
The only life signs:
The power on light on the bottom right corner of the m/b is on. When I turn the power switch on the PSU on, the CPU O/C light goes on for a split second and then goes out. Both is correct behaviour.
The PC doesn't start. Black screen, no fan activity at all.
The monitors seem to be okay, as well as the external HDDs.
We have a very similar PC in our house. So I can pull stuff out and put it in there and vice versa.
Any recommendations what I should test and in which order to find out what is damaged?
Can I assume the PSU is okay, if it passed juice through to the mainboard? If it's not okay, can I damage components by connecting them? The PSU is a Coolermaster with ca. 500-600W.
Actually I'd suspect the psu first, it's the first component that would be hit by an overload and my understanding is that they have fuses that can blow. And there are different rails of power that they deliver via the different coloured wires, so the power to the m/b might still be coming through, but not the power for the drives, etc.
Good luck!
Thanks! :)
I talked to our admin at work. He also suspected it's the PSU, because nothing connected to the 12V line reacts at all. He thinks the mainboard lights are powered by the 5V line.
I had this once, a long time ago after a direct hit of lightning to our house. In my case the overload actually seemed to have come in two ways, once over the telephone line (yes, a modem. It was that long ago). And secondly over the PSU (as an aside, the PC was actually unplugged at the time - but the electricity jumped from the socket to the cable lying below! - I saw the flash under the desk from my sofa at the time). Anyway, both the PSU and the modem were fried, but the rest was OK, IIRC.
Almost certainly the PSU, I've had something similar happen a few times.
I would be happy if it's only the PSU.
Same thing happened to me last year. A lighting bolt hit the transformer outside causing an electronic surge. Literally felt the static charge. Luckily for me I had insurance.
After replacing my psu and motherboard I found my modem fried also. How fun. Lesson learned power protectors do not always work.:biggrin: I'm sorry to say your motherboard might be dead. Some warranty's and insurance cover it and others don't.
In Germany someone tried to sue the electricity firms responsible for the current … He argued that their … electricity lines ? shouldn't have been able to overload or been overloaded at all, so that they should have built some kind of security for overflowing current (it's difficult for me to express in English words what I mean), so he wanted to get money back for the many desrtroyed computers in his firm. (A thunder has been hitting something so that the overflowing current coming from the thunder has been going through electricity lines somehow - overloading almost or all computers in a firm.)
He finally failed at the Bundesverfasungsgericht, if I remember it correctly.
And that' why I always (if I remember to do it, that is) take down every major electric device at home during a thunderstorm.
If other systems are working fine and the switch its connected to isn't out (or if it's on a wireless network) then there's a good chance it's just the PSU. If it fried the 12 v rail though it might have fried the motherboard too. Swapping out a PSU will pretty much tell you if its the motherboard or the PSU immediately; if it does the same thing after swapping it out than it's almost certainly the motherboard (based on the early point during start-up that it fails at.)
Sadly on homeowner's insurance, while many policies cover damage from electrical surges you often won't get much past your deductible and if you do they'll probably drop you from your policy. That might not be relevent in Germany though; I have no idea how homeowner's insurance works but I imagine businesses with large ammounts of mission critical computer systems do consider insuring those systems as best practice.
Sorry, but I'm not an expert on insurances. I think I remember that there wasn't any insurances against thunderstorms in this case, but again, this is already long, long ago … And I just can't recall anything correctly anymore …
I've had this happen multiple times in the past and, from what I remember, it was the PSU that had been overloaded both times. If you replace your PSU and things still aren't functioning properly, proceed with normal troubleshooting procedures: disconnect everything save 1 DIMM of RAM and your video card (you could insert your wife's RAM and card here to further narrow it down to your motherboard).
(innocently) Didn't your UPS or power strip work?
Two choices. Just start replacing good parts until something works. (Most people do shotgunning.) Or use a meter to fix it faster, with less money, and also learn from the experience. Your choice.
In 90% of cases the symptoms you describe are the PSU. Other components may be also be damaged but PSU is the first thing to replace. It's good if you have an old pc laying around to test first.
In Denmark all houses and apartments are required by law to have an HFPI-box? to prevent this from happening, I think? The electric current will then go through the box, and the mechanism in the box will shut the power off immediately.
Not much help to Gorath, I agree….
On the other hand, in Denmark, we normally don't have as extreme weather as people experience in say certain parts of Germany, France, England or in the US. In 1999, in december, we got by a hurricane for the first time - ever, I think. Wr don't have tornados either, however we have something called a skypump? - sometimes. It is sort of minor or smaller version of a tornado…
Our Fritz Box got killed too, so I'm offline for the time being.
Current status is that PSU, RAM, HDDs, DVD-RW and most importantly the graphics card are in working condition. It's too early to say they're all 100% intact, but they work as intended, at least over a period of a couple of hours.
I guess this leaves CPU and/or mainboard as damaged parts.
Argh, sorry to hear that :(
My 1200 VA UPS (APC Line Interactive) is the only component (OT: along with my Audigy 2) that I retained through my last 2 system builds. I consider it a good investment (300 Euro UPS for 2 X 2500-3000 euro PCs, also put a surge protector in front)…

Sandarach is the produce of the thuya articulata of Barbary.
Some of the green or glaucous varieties of both Cupressus and thuya will come fairly true from seed, from 40 per cent.
Arborvits (thuya) have very small overlapping leaves that form flat rods or fan-like sprays.
This is the Oregon cedar (thuya gigantea), which attains great size and is widely diffused on the trans-Rocky region.
All the species and beautiful varieties of Cupressus, thuya, and Juniperus are very valuable in a young state.
Thyoides is from thuya meaning arborvit and eidos, the Greek for "resemblance."

His foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said this week that Syria was only feigning interest in peace to win western legitimacy.
The American diplomat was quickly criticized by foreign minister Kasit Piromya for his "intervention in Thai domestic politics."
"I have coordinated with our foreign minister so we will borrow from other countries which have offered," he said.
"I know firsthand Hillary Clinton raised this several times with [Russian foreign minister Sergei] Lavrov," he said.
The non-Nazi foreign minister, Konstantin von Neurath, heard the message loud and clear.
Nobody will grudge the foreign minister this little treat, which he has thoroughly well earned.
"I sincerely hope that you will be successful," declared the foreign minister.
As the native ministry develops, the foreign minister is less and less needed, and must gradually withdraw.
foreign minister von Jagow: I have nothing to add to my answer.
There is not the least reason to doubt that in most cases of advantage conferred the foreign minister was ready to receive money.

Using Vermont Casting Intrepid II?
I picked up a used Vermont Casting Intrepid II wood stove. It has a damper on the lower right rear corner with the adjuster at the top right corner. It also has a lever mounted on the right side rear about 1/3 the way down from the top. It controls a flap mounted inside the stove. I have hooked it up to a chimney and it seems to work okay, we're just not too sure on adjusting it.
I've been trying to figure where to adjust it for best burn (most heat), but it doesn't appear to matter. Might be because it hasn't gotten too cold out yet, but I'm really not sure where to put that valve.
Last google found user manuals online. Must have missed them. Found that I have a catalytic version and the settings for that lever are for initial starting for a free flow out the flue and after the fire is going it is adjusted for catalytic burning.

SGV East Food Swap — Special Edition
SGV East Food Swap
Saturday, June 29, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
Join us for a free SPECIAL EDITION* of the SGV East Food Swap, as we gather together at a fellow swapper's private residence** in Hacienda Heights!
*You'll want to be there, not only for the incredible food we've been swapping, but also to check out an inspiring way to garden and farm in your own backyard!
Saturday, June 29 from 10 a.m. to noon
*Exact address, not far from the intersection shown on the map, will be given in a follow-up email upon registration.
We gather together simply in the name of creating community by exchanging homemade and homegrown goods such as breads, desserts, fruit, sauces, etc. Find us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and Pinterest. All are welcome to attend parties hosted by SGV East Food Swap, which operates as a private club. Just remember: Money is not accepted, bring something to swap, and if you bring family members or friends, you must pre-register each person separately.
Bring as much or little as you prefer--it's completely up to you. Please also protect your goods by packaging them well, keeping in mind that swapping is easier when the food is separated into quantities ready to be exchanged. Most people bring samples as well. If you realize you cannot attend after registering, please let us know 48 hours in advance, so we can offer your ticket to others who can make it.
Reading about original food swappers Kate Payne and Megan Paska and attending a Pasadena Food Swap was all it took to convince us that the East San Gabriel Valley and its neighbors would enjoy a swap of their own. Learn more about this phenomenon and find other swaps at the Food Swap Network.
Questions? Email us at email@example.com.
While production of your goods does not have to take place in a commercial kitchen, we expect that you abide by health laws regarding food-borne pathogens and cross-contamination. By registering for any and all events organized by SGV East Food Swap, you acknowledge that you abide by health and safety norms, and also acknowledge the risk associated with any items you will trade for. The organizers and hosts cannot and do not inspect kitchens or edible items, and will not assume any risk associated with the same. All attendees must complete a release form in order to attend swaps; the form as a Word doc can be downloaded here, or as a PDF here. This only needs to be submitted once and will be kept on file for future SGV East Food Swap events. Please complete and email the form to firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Nasdaq: BROD)
500 Redwood Blvd.
Novato, CA 94948-6121
(415) 382-4400
ALEXANDRIA, VA., (March 27, 1997) /FOOLWIRE/ -- On March 20, 1997, Broderbund Software reported fiscal 1997 second quarter results. On a conference call to discuss those results were Mike Shannahan, Vice President and CFO; Joe Durrett, CEO; and Bill McDonagh, Director, President and COO.
MIKE SHANNAHAN -- FINANCIAL REVIEW. "We reported a decline in revenue of nine percent, to about $44.3 million. Net income for the quarter was $3.2 million, which excludes a charge for the acquisition of Living Books. Including the charge, the net loss for the quarter was $3.5 million." Earnings per share (before the charge) declined to $0.15. Including the charge, EPS was a loss of $0.17. Revenues for the first six months were down 11%, to about $106 million. Net income declined, as well, to $12 million (excluding the one-time charge). Including the one-time charge, earnings were $5.4 million. EPS for the first six months of 1997 were $0.57 (excluding the charge).
During the quarter, Broderbund completed the acquisition of Random House's 50% interest in the Living Books joint-venture. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and was accomplished with a combination of cash and the issuance of restricted stock. In connection with this acquisition, a portion of the excess purchase price [above book value] was allocated to in-process technology and was charged to operations at the time of the acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is included in "purchased technology" on the balance sheet and, consistent with other acquisitions, will amortized over a three-year period.
Also during the quarter, Broderbund repurchased 400,000 of common stock in the open market.
Productivity during the second quarter was down two percent and represented 51% of sales. Entertainment was down 33% and comprised 15% of sales. Education was up 22% and represented 25% of sales. Affiliated labels was down 34% in the quarter and represented nine percent of sales. On a year-to-date basis, productivity was up 11% and represented 51% of sales; entertainment was down 45% and made up 14% of sales; education was up 14% and comprised 22% of sales; affiliated label turned down 42% and represented 13% of sales.
Productivity revenues declined though unit volume grew 30%. "I think a lot of this had to do with the impact of dealing with issuing the Deluxe III and our Ensemble III version in the Print Shop line. Entertainment was down, but during the quarter, out unit volume increased 18%, which reflects the strong unit movement of Myst. Education was favorably impacted because of the acquisition of the Living Books joint-venture took effect on January 1, and so Living Books sales for two months of the quarter, as well as its expenses, were included in results. Affiliated labels declined primarily due to the decline in the number of entertainment products that we had in the first half of the year last year compared to this year."
Although gross margin was higher than historical levels, this quarter's gross margin on core products was down 6.5 percentage points from last quarter, which can be attributed to pricing decisions the company made going into the Christmas season. From the first quarter, gross margin was down two percentage points. For the balance of fiscal 1997, the company believes gross margin will be in the 70% range, based on pricing and on the mix of published titles to affiliates, which the company believes will remain low in the overall sales mix. Operating expenses for the quarter were $25.4 million, including Living Books expenses, which were down from $25.8 million in Q1, but up significantly from the same quarter in FY 1996. Those increases are due primarily to sales and marketing, where the company is providing additional funding into the channel, as well as increases in R&D, which (in addition to Living Books) has also increased due to the number of products in development.
Looking forward for the balance of 1997, the company expects its operating expenses to remain about the same as the Q2 level, rather than following the normal seasonal decline, due not only to the addition of Living Books, but to the number of releases Broderbund has scheduled for the remaining half of the year.
Non-operating income was $1.5 million during the quarter, due somewhat to a decline in cash balances. In the past, Broderbund has had equity and earnings of Living Books on the balance sheet and in non-operating income line of the income statement. Income tax rate was 19.8%, due to accounting for the acquisition and the write-off the in-process technology. Excluding the write-off, the tax rate was 38.5%. That tax rate was consistent with the first quarter and should remain at that level through the balance of the year. That rate is somewhat lower than last year because of higher tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax earnings.
Cash at the end of the quarter was $144.5 million, down $4.6 from Q1. However, included in the quarter was the repurchase of 400,000 shares as well as the cash portion of the Living Books acquisition. Accounts receivable at the end of the quarter was $13.1 million, down from $33.7 million at the end of Q1, reflecting seasonally strong collections. Days-sales-outstanding are still less than 27 days.
JOE DURRETT. "First, let me give you a little bit of context.... Last spring and summer, Broderbund assessed its situation and the company reached several key conclusions: 1. It concluded that at its then-current pricing, it would have a difficult time maintaining, and muss less building, market share on a unit or a physical basis." While revenues may have benefited from holding prices up in the short-term, "over the long-term, it was decided that it would be a poor choice as much of the company's strength depended on what we call evergreen products -- Print Shop, Family Tree Maker, 3-D Home Architect, or Carmen San Diego. These are products which enjoy substantial volume and profit from consumers' willingness to purchase the upgrades and revisions to these titles. Thus, it was decided to take significant reductions in pricing, as well as to introduce some additional sizes of the existing titles, which gave consumers some less-expensive entry points into our core product segment. 2. Broderbund recognized that significant fluctuations in the company's business over the year and the prior year have been a result of the successful Myst launch, which was difficult to replicate. Thus, the company reached the decision that, while maximum effort would [go into] assuring that the Myst sequel would be published in plenty of time for merchandising for the Christmas 1997 season, the company would also set out on an ambitious plan to field a number of potential games successes for the late summer and early fall of 1997. These would supplement the Myst sequel and provide a broader revenue base in this largest segment of the consumer software market, which, if successful, would lessen our dependence on Myst."
"3. With reduction in revenue due to the planned price decreases, we needed to make certain that our product flow was strong in every other area and that our overall offering was advantaged vs. competition in key core categories from a standpoint of product features. 4. The company knew it needed to change it culture. We knew we needed to move toward a culture of greater time urgency, consumer awareness, and a stronger work ethic, so that the demand for the timely and excellent product flow that we needed would be met. We also knew that we needed to do this in a way that would achieve change quickly but would not scare employees into concluding that they could not adapt to the new demands of Broderbund."
"Against these four conclusions, our point of view is that Broderbund has actually executed very well -- in fact, surprisingly well. If you did not know that we had recorded disappointing financial results for the second quarter, and if you were inside our offices and you were aware of the daily progress we were making in meeting our goals, you might conclude that we were clearly achieving the business improvement that we had sought. We see that as the correct conclusion -- we are achieving significant improvement in the fundamental health of our business. We are achieving the product development milestones and we are changing our culture to one of greater and faster accomplishments. So then, how can we say we are on target to execute a significant business improvement if we just missed the second quarter financial goals? Isn't the second quarter disappointment an indication that the business turnaround could be failing? I don't think so, and let me talk some more to let me tell you how I'm feeling about that."
THE RETAIL CHANNEL. "Let's look at the results of the second quarter. I'd like to focus on the consumer sell-through for the period of November through January, 1997. During this period, Broderbund executed its pricing reductions and introduced each of its planned new product launches and sold record-breaking numbers of its products in each of its core segments. In our education segment, Broderbund titles increased unit volume by 44%. Entertainment, despite Myst being in the fourth holiday season, unit volume sell-through advanced 12%. In the productivity area, unit volume advanced 68%. In total, Broderbund reversed over nine months of declining trends and built unit share during this seasonally important three-month period. We believe this achieved our first goal of growing our user base, which is so important to the long-term vitality of our type of business."
PRICING. "Many of the press reports on Broderbund in recent weeks have cited competitive pricing as being the driver behind our disappointing second quarter financial performance. While that is true, that could imply that competitive prices limited our unit sales, and that's note the case. As we said earlier, our unit volume moving to the consumer has been very strong. We think that the proper distinction is that Broderbund probably took its prices down more than it needed to in order to achieve the goal of holding its unit volume share, and the unit volume growth of the last quarter bears that out. To a significant degree, then, much of our disappointing financial performance of the last quarter was somewhat self-inflicted... The average selling price during the November-January 1997 period for all titles -- no matter what type -- in the consumer software industry, was $32.83," down 1% from last year. Broderbund's average selling price during that period was $32.12, a 33% decrease from a year ago, "...despite our premium quality positioning...." "While a higher price could have depressed unit volume some, our judgment is that we could have had a higher price, still maintained unit share, and probably achieved better financial performance.... Pricing in an industry that is as new as software is far from an exact science, and without better knowledge, we would probably take the same step again today since we wanted to achieve that all-important goal of protecting that business consumer preference for titles."
"Our job now is to achieve a better balance of unit movement and profit achievement. This is not going to be easy. Many of the key retail merchants are going to fight our efforts to restore prices. On some titles, we are going to have to wait until a revision comes out or we have an upgrade or we have a sequel that is an opportunity to add price-points. This fact will have an important effect on delaying the financial aspects of our business turnaround. So while we believe that we're on target with nearly every other aspect and milestone of our mission to get Broderbund back into a healthy growth stripe, our low retail prices and the resistance of the retail trade to upward movement on those prices will be a financial drag in the coming months."
NEW TITLES. The company's second goal is to develop a successful line of entertainment titles to accompany the Myst sequel and build a stronger entertainment division. "We are on target. We're in the numbers, where we want to be. Our products have been issued on time, and any milestones for those that haven't yet been shipped are being met. Next month, we'll be shipping 'The Last Express,' a new title, to American stores, and this week, we're holding a major introduction of 'The Last Express' in Paris, France for the European trade. Sell-in is strong, reviews are good, and we expect solid business performance. Additional entertainment titles will be shipped later this summer and early fall, and each is, so far, on time. Because there have been no production delays, we may consider purposefully delaying one of our titles this fall to January to help balance our launch activities..." The sequel to Myst -- Riven -- is also on time. The company is planning extensive launch marketing for the sequel. The ship date is targeted for August, the final month of the fiscal year. There is nothing that the company knows of that will present a problem for the launch and marketing push for the 1997 holiday season. Major retailers are reserving time and space for this release to make it "their consumer software focus this fall." For internal planning purposes, Broderbund assuming Riven ships in the first quarter of 1998, which begins in September.
As for the third goal of overall product flow and competitiveness in overall product offerings, "we are on target with our plans. This first we introduced the revised version of 'Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego?,' which accompanied the earlier summer launch of 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?' Both titles were well merchandised and have reinvigorated this line. We also introduced last quarter the 'Williams Sonoma Guide to Cooking,' which quickly became the leading cooking title. Six additional 'Family Tree Maker' were launched, and Living Books...placed 'Stellaluna' and 'Dr. Suess's Green Eggs and Ham' on the store shelves."
"In the coming months, we are going to bring out additional titles beyond the previously-mentioned 'Last Express.' There will be stronger production from Living Books -- we have additional Carmen San Diego titles scheduled which will take advantage of this consumer franchise in some new subject areas, something we're very proud of. An interior decorating title will be on shelves to accompany our exterior architecture title, which will itself be revised for new features. Family Tree Maker will issue a major upgrade. Print Shop has been, and should continue to be, very aggressive. We are right now shipping a new Print Shop product called 'Press Writer,' which helps our customer base produce new fliers and brochures. Unlike more complicated products such as the Microsoft Publisher, our 'Press Writer' has the same simple kind-of easy look and feel that has made Press Shop the leader in the consumer desktop publishing business.... We have redefined our Print Shop arena to better respond to the overall graphic and electronic communications needs of our customer base, who have learned to trust us for easy-to-use, no surprises way of doing things. We clearly have strong anticipations for our Print Shop line in the months to come."
BRODERBUND CULTURE. "On changing the Broderbund culture to one of greater performance without unnecessarily scaring the employees: We think we're on the right track here, but probably the only way you will know is to judge us by the steady and timely stream of product development milestones and by listening to what we say. Here's what I can tell you: Management is more involved than ever in the daily workings of this business. We have changed our organization structure to move to focused, product-oriented business units so that there will be better focus on the consumer, greater coordination between marketing and product development on the product quality and consumer targeting, and enhanced responsibility for the commercial consequences and the daily allocation of resources." All employees receive options, but "we are focusing on meritocracy, in that only the best-performing employees will receive annual increments. Next week, we will have our first in recent history all-company meetings so that the entire organization will be together under one roof to better understand our strategies and their roles and our goals. We think we're doing the right things here."
OTHER INITIATIVES. "In addition to this report on where we are, I believe that there at least two other subjects which we judge you will want to be aware of when you assess Broderbund. One is the subject of our vision for new business in the future. The other is the more close-in guidance you will want for your assessments of our short-term financial prospects.... 1. We are attacking Internet opportunities like never before. In each of our established segments, we are succeeding with formulas which make sense, and in the next six months, you will see active Internet offerings in our entertainment segment, for our Print Shop line of products, and for our Family Tree Maker geneology products. 2. As you might know, we also established last year an online venture fund so that we could become closer to Internet opportunities. This venture fund has paid off, not only in teaching us about investment opportunities, but it's also paid off in spurring us import our learnings into our established businesses. We are spending substantial time in developing better alliances with other companies where we believe that those associations can help us strengthen our core business. Some of these alliances may ultimately involve financial linkages -- others will not. We should be announcing some of these in the months ahead. 3. We have established a small group of managers, who are very clearly focused on identifying good commercial opportunities for us in clearly new businesses, which will most often take advantage of some existing Broderbund expertise, but will also allow a new field of opportunity. Once again, we are making good progress and we will be announcing some of those new directions in the months ahead.
GUIDANCE. "At the risk of disappointing you, we may be unable to be too comfortable on this call. On one hand, we are very confident that we are going to have a solid business underway by the first quarter of next year -- nothing changed. On the other hand, we know that we will be less successful until then from a financial standpoint, primarily because we anticipate that we will have difficulty boosting our prices to target levels. We are also sufficiently excited about these new product plans we're putting together that we choose to re-invest some of our earnings in greater support for these new products. From a revenue standpoint, we can tell you that our target for the balance of the year will be moderately less than [some of analysts'] models, but we do not anticipate a significant departure. What we are purposefully being tentative about at this time is earnings. Very simply, we are looking at our plans for the forward months, and if we believe that Broderbund will be stronger throughout 1998 by a greater expense investment for the balance of this fiscal year, we are going to take that choice."
QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION. Gross margin of approximately takes into account a continued decline in affiliated labels as well as treating Living Books as a core product family. Operating expenses will be flat on a dollar basis for the next two quarters with Q2 levels, but not necessarily on a percentage basis.
Living Books should not be a drag on earnings, even with amortization. There is a still a facility that the company is evaluating, but the company believes it knows how to handle the product line, expenses, and how it will be incorporated into Broderbund operations.
The company believes maintaining new customers and retaining new customers is very important, hence the unit share and product strategy. The company was concerned that other companies would take market share just through pricing and that could impact Broderbund over the long-term. In the next fiscal year, the company believes it will be gaining on dollar share.
Expense levels are reaching a level that might be higher than planned. Seasonally, operating expense falls off in the second half of the year, but in order to maintain presence with mass merchants, Broderbund will continue to provide them with funding. It's not a foregone conclusion that operating margin will drop next year -- budgeting will be looked at from the standpoint of trying to maintain historical operating margin of 20%. A lot of that will depend on efforts to get pricing back to a premium to that market, but certainly not to there they were a few years ago when the market was less crowded.
The company expects to see an increase in entertainment and some improvement in education, with the impact being a reduction in productivity as a percentage of overall revenues. Living Books expenses are not terrible significant in the overall cost structure, though the company is working on reducing operating expenses in that area.
The company doesn't think the first two months of operations at Living Books is indicative of what will be seen in the third or fourth fiscal quarters.
Europe is a strong entertainment market -- that's one of the drivers in the company's strategy to expand there. Europe should start to show some significant growth with the strong Q4 and Q1 lineups.
The 400,000 share buyback was made in part to prevent dilution coming from the Living Books acquisition. The company is still looking at further share buybacks in future quarters.
The Riven publishing structure is the same as the Myst structure.
The reserve level this quarter is exactly the same as what it was last quarter, which did impact gross margin. Going into the last two quarters, the company said it would issue price protection in connection with its unit growth strategy. With the older Print Shop lines, those products will come back from the channel. There's nothing wrong with those products, which have been revised, and the company thinks it can find alternative markets for those. With a reserve level of $33 million, the company believes that it has sufficient reserves to protect against a write-down.
Competition in the channel remains "quite severe." -- competition for shelf space, mind-share, promotional dollars, end-caps, pallets, etc.. There are only half a dozen or so major channels of distribution that are moving the vast majority of software today. The company "is getting more than its fair share out there," but it's cost a little more than the company expected. The company doesn't have a single account that accounts for more than 10% of revenues.
Reference is an area that the company has looked at, but has not found anything yet, despite the potential of that market.
The company is somewhat insulated from employee competition being in Marin County and not in Silicon Valley, however, they experience this all the time with such a mobile workforce. The company has had a few defections in the last six months, which it would rather not discuss. For the most part, though, the company has a committed workforce, and turnover has not changed since the company started to experience competition.
Broderbund sees DVD as an opportunity, in the productivity area with the large content and with reference. With video games, the company may license, and with future titles, may think about that market more.
By the time the company completes the fiscal year, Living Books should be in-line and generating a similar return. For the balance of the fiscal year, the company expects to run the unit at break-even, including amortization, which will run about $425-450,000 per quarter.

If you think she is deaf, then I would have vet check her. It's best if you find out now. Then you can start training her as a deaf dog. Good Luck with her. She's very cute! :)

My dog here is deaf. She lost her hearing from being abused when she was a puppy and had head surgery. I took her in and suspected she could not hear right away. The vet idea is good, but what I did was to clap my hands behind her and see if she reacts, I also did the whistle. And she also did not react to either. A deaf dog is not hard to train. It may take a bit longer, but she has learned and does well in my household. We just keep an eye on her when she is not in the fenced yard because she can not hear things coming.

Hello all,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 is running 2.3.5.
I recently switched my gmail account from IMAP to POP on my Samsung email app. However, as the title says, my emails keep disappearing after I read them and tell the server to look for new emails. I think the emails aren't deleted though because the Samsung Mail trash was empty.
I've tried deleting and recreating the account and I triple-checked that the option in Account Settings -> Incoming Server Settings -> Delete email from server was set at "never". Am I doing something wrong? I didn't have this problem when my account was setup as IMAP.
Thanks in advance!
(Sorry if I posted in the wrong section of the forum. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post these problems here or on the Samsung Galaxy SII User Help section.)
EDIT: I also noticed that if I check my emails through Windows Live Mail on my PC, the emails don't show up in Samsung Mail on my phone. This there a way to fix this too?

Hey ladies, just wanted to know if you have heard of any ridiculous new born myths... just want us to share a good laugh. I heard that if you eat lots of eggs during pregnancy your baby will come out with no hair.
lol! Love the myths! My babies like to prove that wrong. I ate the most eggs my last pregnancy and had the hairiest baby.
Sami , wife to , mama to Tate 10/14/05, Kaleb 12/17/07, Bram 3/13/10-11/17/12, Alden 2/1/12, October 2014
If you puke alot, your baby will be super hairy. Don't know if this one is true yet. I didn't puke hardly at all with Michael, and he came out SOO bald. This one has been a puky pregnancy. Will I birth a monkey? :lol We will see ;).
Hah! I thought that it was if you have lots of heartburn you'll have a hairy baby. I had awful heartburn with DD and she was born with a full head of hair plus some on her back and shoulders and tummy and legs! This time, the heartburn is pretty manageable. I've been crediting it to my more healthful eating-- maybe she'll just be bald though!
I've heard that the heartburn/ hair connection is one of those old myths that has actually been backed up experimentally!
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/20/health/20really.html?_r=1&oref=slogin (New York Times article from 2007 that confirms the myth via a Johns Hopkins' study!)
1st baby, born 2/25/12. . Married to environmentalist husband, trying to stay calm and trust my body.
So what if you eat a lot of eggs, puke a lot but no heartburn? That sums it up for me...Guess I will have an average hairy baby? lol
AP, Homeschooling, Part-Time working mom with 3 rambunctious boys all born with love at home. (04 & 08 & 12).
I have had horrible heartburn with each pregnancy. DS1 was born with a shiny bald head and literally did not sprout a hair until after his first birthday. DS2, again, TERRIBLE heart burn and he was also pretty much bald.
I've never heard the egg one, that is funny!
One thing that I always hear is that if you're really sick, you will have a girl. I have had mild to no morning sickness with each pregnancy (no actual vomiting this time) and have had three boys... so it's been true for me.
Jesse, mama to my three wonderful boys, our newest born at home late Jan 2012
omg my heartburn is so bad! And my husband is indian, so i am kind of expecting a dark hairy baby, haha. I am CRAVING milk like crazy all the time (I drink like a liter a day) and my husband keeps saying milk craving = hairy baby!!!
LOL what is with the obsession with hair on a baby?

i'm with Rym, i prefer the E36 front end. much more muscular
And if you remember rightly I have mentioned on a few occasions now that I am still undecided that I made the right choice and perhaps should have gone for the more E36 type one
The problem with the E36 and E46 is the lines in the bonnet, they don't match up. Google the images and you will understand what I mean when you see it
Like I also said, that is one of the better ones have seen but surely if you want your car to look like an E46 that much then you're driving the wrong car
cant really tell from that first pic without further investigation
I saw the black one and it kinda looked smart!
bloody hell, its all good then, that a first
It looks ok but the amount it would cost you to do it, it would probably be cheaper to buy an E46 and then everyone dosent say look at that tw@ in his E36 with an E46 front end on it lol
yeah looks alright but my only question is "why". Like Coll says it'd be cheaper (and look better impo) to buy an e46.
Anyone like my converted E36...(meaning Ralph)?

Thanks for the clarification. I can't really see me ever switching back into ChromeOS, but I see now why that'll always be possible.
These days, I mainly use my laptop to run Calibre and manage ebooks on my Kindle. It sounds like this machine would not be able to do this because you cannot install software. Is that correct?

I use the online version of office (at office.com) on my Chromebook (acer 720p) and it works fine. Not the exact same model but it should work well on one of these too.
Damn, just had an Acer Chromebook delivered from Amazon yesterday. Granted, I needed something quickly -- laptop died, and needed something more than just a tablet for an interstate move. The HP looks pretty good, too.

Might want to check it out if the 4G thing is a deal-breaker for you. Don't just check your home, check work, and other places you typically bring your laptop.
In for one! Looking forward to running unix and playing with my new toy. Should come in handy during my upcoming Fantasy football drafts!

This is true. I even wrote the developer to ask if he was planning a chrome version. He said he had no plans to. Hopefully, he will change his mind as chrome os becomes more mainstream.
For me, it's the only downside to owning a chromebook.
Aside from being broke anyway, lack of a wired Ethernet connector is a deal breaker for me. Anybody know a decent USB to Ethernet adapter?

This is VERY cool. I wish I had to ability to do this with my windows box I would love to have full control over my system using 2 different OSs without rebooting.
I purchased this last time it was available. I am very pleased with it! I have a wired printer with my desktop. Just had to register it to the cloud with chrome browser on my desktop and have no problem printing from the chromebook.
I do not have t-mobile coverage in my area so I cannot comment on the free plan.
Great battery life and is used all day. As long as you research the pros and cons of chromebooks, this is a good deal.
This one is a bit more enthusiastic.

To summarize, the answer is "basic email functions if you use gmail, virtually NO calendar functions, basic editing of Google Drive documents."
Included in the OS itself is a basic media player (for audio [unclear whether only mp3], images, "videos" [unclear what formats]) and a file manager, according to the wikipedia article:

I got it on the one I received a few weeks ago; I think it depends upon whether the original owner redeemed it first. Note that I had to use it on a second Google account (my daughter's, in this case), because I'd already used a Chromebook offer to get my 100GB (a Samsung, a year and a half ago). So... if it says you aren't eligible, it might be because you've redeemed a similar offer on your account. Had I not tried my daughter's, I'd have thought I couldn't redeem it at all.
I own 2, one w/2GB & one w/4GB, both work beautifully, no comparison to Windows! Best purchases ever, used every day, hardly turn on Win 8 pc anymore. Excellent battery life, speed is FAST. Read Chromebook Central for info on usability of Chromebooks - also there are snap-on covers available at Amazon to change color & protect. Both of mine had the Google Drive offer (YMMV) & my T-Mobile setup took less than 5 minutes.
Hi, does anyone know if the Sim card i get for this device worth with unlocked Iphones? I have a friend visiting internationally and I was wondering if i can let him use the sim card for data during his stay. Thanks.

However, there are some programs that run off line, but pretty much everything is in the cloud. There are no built in programs like paint or solitaire. You have to run cloud programs for that.
There is no virus protection or malware, you don't need it. Just reboot it. If you put in Linux, then you will have malware and need something like Clam.
There are no print drivers. Trendnet usb to RJ45 will allow you to connect to a wired network.
All apps are in the Chrome store which is about as populated as Microsoft store for the RT. However graphics of the apps is not great. Also general graphics are alittle weak and glare can be an issue with the screen so you have to tilt it at times to get the best view.
Thank you that is a helpful post.
Any idea of the free data works in Canada? I've checke T-Mobile's coverage and the area I'm visiting is listed as "Service Partner" ... does this equal "Roaming", therefore no-go?
I see that only the 16g is available. Should I wait until they sell this again and pick up the 32g?
Thanks everyone for the super helpful discussion. I'm seriously considering this machine for my 11yo son. Right now pretty much the only thing he'll want to do with it is play Minecraft -- if I read the comments correctly, this will be possible if I install Linux, yes? I've not done that before but am pretty confident I could figure it out. My question would be about data usage though. How quickly would he burn through the 200MB/month by playing Minecraft? Just curious because I'm sure he would be on wifi most of the time but I'd want to be prepared in case anything goes wrong with that.
Also, can anyone comment on the "coral" color? Is it closer to a pink or a red? My son would not be pleased if I bought him a pink laptop *eyeroll*
I've been thinking about a Chromebook and the many enthusiastic comments convinced me it's time. I bought a turquoise one--wish I'd been here in time for the 32GB white, but 16 GB is probably fine for me. I work in a computer repair business in any case so if I decide to upgrade I'll have help.
I did go to the Big Box store website on someone's recommendation to check the color. The one they are selling is $88 more, and has only 2 GB of RAM. Theirs also has two USB 2.0 and one 3.0 ports--this one has two 3.0 and one 2.0, another advantage.
mamajoan wrote:Also, can anyone comment on the "coral" color? Is it closer to a pink or a red? My son would not be pleased if I bought him a pink laptop *eyeroll*
Here's a bunch of pics from Google.
Looks like coral to me.
Snagged one of these a week or two ago when they were up here, same price.
I love it. The free 4g was as easy as popping in the SIM and clicking through a few pages. No hassle, no suffering, no credit card or anything. Nice.
The hardware feels fairly nice and solid. I ended up with the pink (Sorry, SALMON) color since the silver was sold out, and I'm pretty pleased with it. The finish is a rubbery matte which doesn't attract fingerprints, which is nice. The whole device is surprisingly heavier than I expected, though still loads lighter than my last laptop. The screen is bright and beautiful looking, even in direct sunlight. While the keyboard has a lot of funny-looking keys on it, the essential keys are in the right spots and I was able to quickly adjust to typing on it.
The HDMI port in mine wasn't working when I tried it... I need to do further testing to establish whether the issue is on my end or if I got a laptop with a bad HDMI port. Hopefully it works because this is one of the main attractions of the laptop (Netflix runs great!).
ChromeOS is tolerable. I would categorize myself as a fairly sophisticated user and I didn't find myself nearly as constricted by the operating system as I thought. The 4Gigs of RAM make this computer very snappy and responsive. Boot up time is fast, and it doesn't flinch when you open half a dozen tabs. I started to get slowdowns when I started loading it up with addons and crap, but this is reasonable for a $200 machine. I used chrome Remote Desktop to get into my home machine and that added a whole new level of utility to this little device.
Developer Mode:
I bought the laptop planning to install Linux on it. Flipped the computer into developer mode, which was relatively easy to do (I didn't have to open up the hardware to get into developer mode like I originally thought I would need to). From there, it was straightforward to install Arch Linux onto it and I was up and running in under an hour.
From there I'm back to a full-fledged operating system and all of the limitations of ChromeOS melt away. I have been using the Linux partition to play a PC game called Hearthstone over Wine, and it has no problems doing this. Even nicer, I can easily switch back to the Developer mode of Chrome OS anytime I need to just do some quick browsing.
Battery life is a bit of a toss up, it isn't as great as I expected but it's still something like 3-4 hours. I guess I had unrealistic expectations.
Overall very satisfied for the price. This fit the awkward niche in my life between smartphone and desktop and I will be using this laptop for a long time!
I bought a 32G version the last time it was offered.
A really nice device.
For quick web access, chromeos is fast to start and fast to turn off. However, I do need a little more often enough so just chromeos is not quite enough. Being a techie, I downloaded and installed "crouton" (http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/) to install ubuntu linux. Works great and it allows me to use Libreoffice, other web browsers, and email readers. I did look at the installation of chromeos replacements, but booting was tricky, I figured a chroot version was just as good.
IMHO, this is a great device for very low tech users (my 85 yo father) and for high tech IT linux aware users.
As an additional note, the netflix modified version of WINE works great in crouton. Looks great on the wide screen.
I have one. I call it pink. I'm a guy. Doesn't bother me. Time to challenge your son's perception of colors and genders :D
Or just buy him a roll of this stuff and an Xacto knife and tell him to go nuts.

Glad I read the comments. Was thinking of getting this for going to our cottage in summer where we have no wifi. But it definitely would be roaming. Thanks for posting!
Would never trust a 90 Day warranty on an HP product. A good friends father is a high level engineer at the HP office in MA and even at STEEP discounts he refuses to buy HP equipment for his own home. Not to mention the HP chromebook was the only one to face a major recall thus far...90 Day refurb warranties = HI! we have ZERO faith in our product so F.UCK you if it breaks.
bit the bullet, second woot this week.
plan on installing ubuntu and using gimp/inkscape for simple vectoring to export stuff to my ebay store, and finally get my webstore up and running which is too distracting to work on while home, home it works out!

I was able to get the free 100GB from google for 2 years no problem (though I think it depends on previous user) Lifetime 4G as stated, no CC required. For guys, I would suggest getting the white model, I got the Aqua and it is very bright. I installed Ubuntu on it using instructions off cnet. It's nice that it can run both OS's at the same time. Also, I bought a PNY 64GB SDXC Elite Performance UHS-1 to add some storage, works well and was only $35.
Can I fit linux on the 16GB version, or only the 32GB version?
mweav6387 wrote:I got the turquoise 16gb model the last time this was offered. Very sleek machine and I get tons of compliments on it. I have installed a side by side linux as well as having set up a virtual machine on a 64gb sd card for all my windows needs.
Surprised to see how far Linux has come since its early elitist code days.
Would recommend for anyone who needs stellar battery life for any type of applications you may need.
Performs like an ultrabook at 1/5-1/10th the cost.
Personally I only use it indoors so I keep the brightness down low but my battery lasts about 9 hours with linux running and almost 11 hours with just browser usage.
Great purchase - no regrets.
So the Linux fit on the 16GB internal, plus you put a VM on the expansion device?
I bought this woot last month when it was for 2 years free 200mb 4g. Any chance of us getting the lifetime 4g policy as well?
I mainly want to use iTunes to download my podcasts and sync to my shuffle. I read that chrome books don't support iTunes? Is this completely true?
Yes I Have MS Office on Line running on mine. It is a free app in the chrome store.

Yes, as soon as you login with google credentials, it credits your account with 100GB. I suspect the first account to login gets the 100GB.

You can "sync" from iTunes to the Chromebook by copying your library to Google Play Music
From the Google Chromebook Product Forums:
- Download and install the Google Play Music Manager on the machine where your iTunes library is.
- Use the Music Manager to upload your iTunes library to Google Play Music.
- Now you can stream your music to a web-enabled device.
You could call it "orange" . . . .
Is there a way to get this shipped faster ?. I want it by next Wed, as i am off to a vacation starting Thu.

fan turns off when light is turned on
I just bought a new house and have a problem with one of my ceiling fans. The fan and light on the ceiling fan have seperate light switches on the wall. I can run the fan, but when I turn on the light, the fan loses power. The fan regains power after I turn the light out.
What should I do to correct this problem.
When you say "new", is it newly built? or new to you? If it was newly built, I would immediately contact the builder, and have him take the necessary actions to have this corrected.
If its new to you, as you are the newest owner, it may be as simple as the wiring being incorrect. We like to ask for pictures of the wiring where the switches are so we can troubleshoot from which we can see. Its a little complicated to try to guess whats going on from a description, or someone unfamiliar with wiring.
You need to tell us all the wring connection in the fan, light and switch boxes.
How many total watts or amps is the light? Anything else connected to the light - plugged into it?
I'm assuming you have a regular bathroom light and bulbs? Not some super powerful heat lamp or whatever?
Sounds to me like the fan is wire off the light switch loop. Until we know how it is all wired up we can't offer any help.
Funky use of a 3 way switch?

Lighting a Paintbooth or getting LIT
Needing to pick out lights for my temp paint booth and want to use 4' shop lights and a friend said it may ignite the paint fumes.
I've looked through most of the forum threads and did'nt really see any specific information on fluorescent lighting having an explosion potential. In fact I've seen many booths with this type of lighting. I know they actually make explosion proof fixtures but I've never seen them in a fluorescent type.
What is the risk of using these lights inside a temporary plastic paint booth with a positive pressure system?
66 Attachment(s)
anything electronic has an explosion potential
all the lighting ixtures ive sen for booths are sealed from the fumes
the proper way to use them would be to use clear plastic, and thenplace the lights OUTSIDE the booth
the florescent fixtures in a body shop are outside the booth with a piece of glass to isolate them between the booth & fixture. or there are explosion proof florescent fixtures. all switches and receptacles should be outside the booth. as a licensed electrician I should not say this, but in the 80s we had a 14x24 shop for a paint Booth with florescent lights recessed into the wall and not isolated with a sealed piece of glass. I was younger and braver then. they make about everything in explosion proof.

Two–photon direct laser writing (DLW) lithography is limited in the achievable structure size as well as in structure resolution. Adding stimulated emission depletion (STED) to DLW allowed overcoming both restrictions. We now push both to new limits. Using visible light for two-photon DLW (780 nm) and STED (532 nm), we obtain lateral structure sizes of 55 nm, a Sparrow limit of around 100 nm and we present two clearly separated lines spaced only 120 nm apart. The photo-resist used in these experiments is a mixture of tri- and tetra-acrylates and 7-Diethylamino-3-thenoylcoumarin as a photo-starter which can be readily quenched via STED.
