» Disney business plan graphic & Tandem Computers business plan graphic

In the 50s, I believe, Walt Disney staff created an elaborate one page drawing showing the interconnection of Disneyland, licensed products and, I think, TV and movies, to show stakeholders how the various elements supported each other. Jimmy Treybig, founder of Tandem Computers (later acquired by Compaq which in turn was acquired by HP), had, as a start up, a complex one page drawing of his business model for Tandem. I've seen both of these reproduced. I'd like to download copies or perhaps purchase copies in an oversized format.This has been split into 2 projects. See "Walt Disney Co. business plan graphic" and "Tandem Computers business plan graphic."...... - 2010-03-13

» Steering Wheel Angle Sensor on 2001 Honda Civic EX?

I am hoping some car guru out there knows if there is a sensor already on a 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe (with power steering) that reports the current angle of the steering wheel. Is there a sensor needed for the power steering somewhere? Digital signal or resistive, it doesnt matter. And if there isn't one, where would be a good place that is easy to get to that can be tapped to install a rotary sensor (like a potentiometer) or something? The car is the EX trim, and there is an SRS airbag in the steering wheel as well with power steering.well only the 02+ civic si has electronic power steering, so i dont think your ex has one. not sure though jus my opinion....... - 2010-03-13

I always wish that I would have known my mum, but she died when I was 2, due to complications in my brother's birth. All I know of her is that she was black, pretty, and did modelling and acting. She died at only 27. All I have is pictures, I can't remember her at all, as I was 2 when she died. They always say that there is a great bond between mother and son, but unfortunately I never got to experience that. My father has done an excellent job though, and I love him very much.

We can do it with cars, and electric lawn trimmers with the push of a button, so why is it that the manufacturers insist on having the string pulling mechanism to start the trimmer?I think that the weight penalty of having to have a battery and a starter motor would outweigh the benefits. If your gas powered tool is in good tune and you understand the proper starting procedure it should only take a few pulls to start the thing anyway. most of us don't take the proper care when putting the tool away after we're done which can quite often make them difficult to start the next time we need to use them.

Washington Wizards (1-10) Oklahoma City Thunder (1-13) Minnesota Timberwolves (3-9) Sacramento Kings (5-11) Los Angeles Clippers (2-12) Any other team (4-9 or better) The Oklahoma City Thunder will reach 30 losses first without a doubt.

I’m going to be doing more portraits from now on, mostly outdoors with natural light, and I wanted to get myself a reflector to play with. I was thinking of getting a white/silver foldable disc, but when I went to the shop I was faced with the following dilemma: A foldable white/silver 32” (~82cm) disc costs about USD70-80 here – I can afford it, but in the same shop they have reflector panels, silver/white, rectangular shape, of a similar area as the 32” disc, and it costs about USD12. It’s not as portable as the folding disc, but portability is not a problem for me. Are there any other advantages to the disc over the panel to justify the price difference? Or what are the differences in general?You could simply use a piece of Foamcore. C...... - 2010-03-13

Its like there shell is getting eaten away while they sit in the tank. Any ideas.Check your water quality, it may be off. Also, you may not have enough calcium in your water. Snails need calcium in their water for their shells to grow properly, so you may need to buy a calcium supplement (these are most commonly sold for marine tanks but are fine to use in freshwater as well and will not hurt other fish).

» Nikon d1x vs alpha a100

ok well, ive been looking into it, and im just woundering why the d1x and cameras like it are so expensive, the d1x has a useable 5 MP but its nearly 3 times as much as the sony a100 that has an effective 10.2, im not just compairing Megapixles because as weve seen, they hardly mean anything atall. there has to be something to this im not seeing. being as ive only owned minolta and sony equipment im not sure why cameras like the d1x and d2x are so criticaly aclaimed. any insight would be really helpful thanks zacki've had that same question im thinking because its a lot more durable and the faster fps shooting and its a nikon over a sony i dont i'd like some light shed on this situationYou're comparing a pro series camera with a consume...... - 2010-03-13

» Girls, is every one of you?

» What is the name of this Korean Drama!?!?

It's about a fifteen year old high school girl that has to marry this adult guy, and it's kinda of a comedy. I was watching it with my friend last week, but I forgot the name of it. Does anybody know? I'd appreciate it. Thanks ^_^Was it a movie? Right off the top of my head I get the movie My Little Bride. Check out the wiki page if you want to make sure if it's right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_B...The closest thing to that is Sweet 18, because I don't remember any drama with a fifteen year old doing it. In Sweet 18, an 18-year-old chick has to marry an older guy (who is a proescutor). I can't think of any other......... - 2010-03-13

» Did the kid really die on that Russian TV show?

I saw a youtube video of a russian tv show, where this kid hides in a mailbox. A guy shoots the kid. It looks staged. But some say it is real. Is there any evidence to suggest it is? Like a news story... article... or something??Just seen that, I sure hope it's not real. I don't think anyone would be that callous and shoot into a mail box without knowing whats going on. ok it's fake; I found this about it. "If you think this all seems a tad morbid for what is supposed to be a humorous hidden camera prank TV show, you're right. This clip isn't from a television program, nor (despite the overlays in Cyrillic text) did it originate in Russia. It's a television commercial produced for the Type & Magic print pr...... - 2010-03-13

» Addictive anesthetics circa 1920

Hi there. I'm setting this as a five dollar answer -- but if you think it needs more time, (and therefore more $) please let me know. My question, which relates to a piece of fiction I'm working on, is as follows: was either morphine or codeine administered orally (and esp. in pill form) as a pain killer in the U.S. between the years of 1915 and 1925? If so, can you find some documentation? And if not, can you help me to find other habit-forming oral (and ideally pill form) anesthetics that might have been used during that time? For my purposes, this anesthetic need not have been used extensively, but must have been available to a physician in the western US circa 1920.How about Cocaine? http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m2005...... - 2010-03-13

» Pick 2 of 3 to start...Matt Forte, Brandon Jacobs, Steve Slaton. ?

typical scoring in this league, what do i do???slaton and forte are my two picks slaton vs GB def 141.7 rush yds per game ( should go off) forte vs JAC def 111.5 rush yds per game jacobs vs PHI def 93.5 rush yds per gameJacobs, other than the game he sat out, has had only one game below 9 points. Play him every week. Next, I'd start Forte. Schaub is going to have to sling it after they get down a ton to GB. Chicago is likely to run all over Jacksonville.You got 3 backs who should all do well this week. It probably won't matter much who you start but I would go with Forte and Jacobs.

» What do you recommend for retro insulating & heating my basement?

BACKGROUND: House is in NW Ohio. Basement is 2000 sq feet. Was finished by previous owner 4 yrs ago. Exterior walls are concrete, 95% below grade. Interior walls are combo pine/drywall. Floor is poured concrete w/ installed pad and carpet. Walls & floor are very attractive and in excellent condition. BUT, no insulation.. ugh! Furnace is electric. There are three vents w good air flow in the dropped ceiling. There is a gas fireplace on the main level so there is natural gas coming into the house. CONSIDERATIONS: -initial investment & workload -long term efficiency -safety!!! (i have pets and two small children) -maximal utilization of the space (this requires a heat source that will keep the space at a fairly constant temp so ...... - 2010-03-13

Thanksin my first marriage... he had a toddler whom i adored. i spent much of my spare time with the child while his dad went golfing on the weekends that he had visitation. of course, there was drama but whatever is in the best interest of the child. some adults just dont get it. even their own parents. you have to have your own relationship with the child aside from being a wife to the child's father. dont bad mouth the mother, dont correct the father's parenting skills. just have a good relationship with the child. good luck My un...... - 2010-03-13

» Rangefinder gunked up...

So I finally got the guts to dissect the Petri Automate rangefinder I bought at a garage sale for $1. The shutter would sometimes work at the highest speed, but jam up at lower speeds. Someone on another forum told me this is most likely due to it having 50 years of crud built up in the mechanics. So, now I have the shutter system completely removed from the rest of the camera. I have written down the order I removed bits and pieces, then taped the small items next to the note so I don't lose anything. I'll be able to get it back together easily. Only problem is cleaning it, which leads me to my question... How the *@#!% do I clean this: http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/3220/shutterav9.jpg Is it as simple as soaking it in...... - 2010-03-13
