When a crisis hits, you need to be ready to manage the situation quickly and...

Q: You guys should move over to Investorshub.com for better info/ discussions. Knock you DD out much quicker there. Brade ... the 1.7B O/S is from the company itself. I doubt they'd be lying about their own, rather high O/S, and from previous TA inquiries. For some reason Google and everyone else is wrong on this. Another 300M were issued on a restricted basis as part of the buyout negotiations, so the real O/S is almost 2B, the A/S is 2B, but the float is about 900M. ohh ok..thanks for the clearing it out then it makes sense the 10cents/share offer.

I Can't Take It Anymore

Q: I have a friend, the co-founder of my company in fact, who use to work for the Teamsters Union. They had their own union, and had bitter battles with their "management."A: A shockingly large percentage of workers seem to fail to realize that those "filthy-rich" managers can only be squeezed so much before the company just goes belly-up and everyone loses... or at least just assume that, if the company is still in business, surely there's plenty of excess margin available. Of course, plenty of managers aren't that great either. Slightly savvier folks would be happier if the government didn't seem so hell-bent on making starting and growing...

Independent Consultants... Medical Insurance/401k Equivalent?

I Think Time Has Come

Q: Probably not. It took Labour a while to finally see some polices. Maybe that is why Kevin Rudd seems so far ahead, the other side has no policies. Someone like Peter Costello? I hate the man's policies but I do trust him more with the economy than the current tressurer. But if he becomes PM I do trust his judgement in picking a more credible tressurer than Kevin Rudd did.A: Krudd's war policies are no different. He is committed to the war in Afghanistan, and the Libs had always planned for a systematic withdrawal from Iraq. Those two projects should have been first priority under the...

Mrvc And A Buy Out-not Starting Any Rumors, And Nothing In The Wind Of Course

Q: It is truly astonishing to see the "worth" of MRVC as defined by the number of shares times the share price. Given the cash in the bank, the value of the plants, the value of the technology and patents...the company COULD be purchased for just a bit over a buck a share. Of course, the BOD would fight such a take-over bid tooth and nail, and the price would probably end up being a bit higher. However, the longer the options situation festers, the more one wonders how much WF and other larger share holders will be willing to put up with....

My Business Cards Have My Picture On The Left

When I print the sheet with the 10 cards (5 left column--5 right column), the cards, especially the picture, look slightly rotated counter-clockwise.

Show/limit Data To Current User (master-detail (metaui Java Db App))

Q: I have what is hopefully a simple question: What is the best way to allow the current user to CRUD *only* their information? To learn, and to prototype my project goals, I decided to use the Master-Detail AppCore/MetaUI database application as a starting point. (I'd be OK with using an alternate starting point.) The primary hurdle I'm currently facing is to enforce user access control for CRUD. What is the best way to do this? I have tried many approaches, but I believe that I am missing something fundamental -- and likely elementary. Some of the approaches I've tried involve using various annotations on model.Master (@Where() worked, but I...

Source Of Business Card Holders

Q: I am looking for a source of metal (silver/brass etc.) business card holders. I was at a craft show and noticed an artist selling these holders with a 1/8" thick layer of exotic woods epoxied to the metal.

Any suggestions where to locate the holders at a good price? A: -The back was 5/16" ply, the bases were solid 1/2" x 1" strip and the...

The Greening Of America

Q: Here is a good article from popular mechanics about laboratory testing with CFLs. The mercury aspect is an issue though. http://www.popularmechanics.com/home_journal/home_improvement/4215199...A: Yeah, I recycle aluminum and paper. Frankly, this has become a "disposable" society. I even own a reel mower that is "me" powered. It cuts the yard better than a gas powered mower and is quiet and uses no gas. I only use the gas mower when I need to cut the grass really low in the spring, or when it's weed season. I guess my point is that going green has to make sense. The light bulbs were just one example...

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world's oldest financial enterprises.

The Place Of Promise Rings

Just as there are many varieties of rings, promise rings come in many shapes, sizes, and can be set with many stones. While diamonds are not necessary for promise rings, many such rings sport them, although they are small diamonds indeed when compared with the larger diamonds seen in engagement rings. But there are other stones that can be used in promise rings, and it is not even necessary to have the ring set with a stone at all. They are not yet considered a positively sure engagement, just the promise of one in the future. But the giving of...

What Me Start A Fight? Nope Just Trying To Be Helpful. (long, Stupid)
