![]() ![]() Once you have done your survey, we can have another meeting to hash out all the construction details.īuilders, I would advise you to be on standby. Since you just got here, why don't you get some rest today, you can start tomorrow. ![]() The overall tunnel design is already complete, but we still need to do a feasibility study of the terrain to see if we need to make any changes. I believe Heidi already has a plan for the tunnel construction here. On the Portian side, we also have to dig a tunnel through the Mvskoke Range.įinally, we'll need to come up with some form of durable pavement for the road for the hottest parts of the desert. One is to dig a tunnel on the Sandrock side through the Eufaula Range. The project will be made up of three key parts. I'm in charge of the Portian side of the project, and I'll liaison with my old friend Heidi on the Sandrock part. Our goal here is to construct the road from both city states and meet up in the middle of the Southern Eufaula. Ahem, I won't bore you with the details, but here's the summary! Musa! Pleasure to make your acquaintance, everyone. Supposedly you have a plan to present? Go ahead, please. He's an expert in negotiations and construction management. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk planning. That's right, we still have a long way to go if we're to make Sandrock repeat its former glory. You're right! But this is a good start, and we got here thanks to everyone's efforts, especially yours, Player! It's all thanks to everyone's efforts, especially yours, Player! But with great conviction, I too am now proud to say. I think we all got off on the wrong foot. Heck, I've even seen it for myself: brave folk like Player putting their lives on the line for the good of the town. How you've built yourselves back up, time and time again from the brink of ruin. It's no secret, the issues you've all faced around here but now I've heard your stories. well, I just refuse to believe there's not something to be had here. The ruins here and the riches they may hide are invaluable, plus, being at the literal center of the Free Cities. But its inherent advantages are still there. Sandrock's been slowly dying since its oasis shrunk and the northern high speed railway was completed between Atara and Highwind. I have reached the decision to finance the plan to build a tunnel directly through the Eufaula Range to and from Portia. As a businessperson, I tend to strike quickly to the heart of the matter please do not mistake my directness for discourtesy. Well, without further ado, let's hear it from Mr. to invest, or not to invest, that is the question! Hello, all! Thank you for coming to this meeting! No doubt you all are wondering what Mr. When the player arrives at the meeting, Trudy, Heidi, Musa, Mi-an, and Yan are already there, along with Mint and another guest from Portia. Musa will be announcing his decision on his potential investment in Sandrock. Come to City Hall tomorrow for a meeting. ![]()

![]() Unless Congress changes things, the maximum federal capital gains rate goes from 15 percent to 20 percent starting January 1 - nice chunk o' change for selling now.Īnd the clincher: Steve himself denies any ulterior motive:"Even though this is a personal financial matter, I want to be clear about this to avoid any confusion. By selling stock now, instead of waiting until January, SteveB stands to save $100 million in taxes. ![]() Pundits like to poke at Steve's record at the helm, but the numbers speak for themselves. And all of them are thanks to SteveB's 10-year reign as Chief Chair Thrower. Microsoft's never had a more profitable full house of products, across so many industries, all raking in the bucks. To think that Apple almost got the Kinect technology from PrimeSense, whose CEO says, according to Gizmodo, "Apple is a pain in the ass." But I digress. On the consumer side, Kinect looks to be the runaway Christmas hit - and it'll drag Xbox sales along with it. By all accounts Windows Phone 7 - at least this version - works very nicely with Exchange. Corporate admins snarl at the various iOS version conflicts with Exchange. ![]() BlackBerry's fading into oblivion (my phone admin friend breathes a sigh of relief that his BlackBerry Enterprise Server may disappear soon). Windows Phone 7 has drawn some strong reviews from the most Apple-pie-eyed reviewers in the industry. Even Internet Explorer 9 looks to be the least wimpy me-too version of IE in many a year. Office 2010 is doing well, if not spectacularly. Microsoft has its best desktop lineup ever. Microsoft's buying back its own stock, with authorization to spend up to $23.7 billion as of June, and it's swimming in cash reserves, at more than $43 billion (typical for Microsoft). Operating income, net income, and EPS hit record highs, up more than 50 percent from a year ago. Two weeks ago, Microsoft announced record revenue of $16.20 billion for the quarter ending Sept. Microsoft's financials have never been stronger. It's absolutely preposterous that Ballmer would be planning a bailout at this point. I read the rumors and muttered to myself, "ridiculous" (actually, I muttered something much less printable), but at the same time I was struck by a little twang of deja vu. That's not ominous, and hardly unprecedented: In August last year, Bill sold 8 million shares.Īll of this selling has triggered wide-eyed speculation that SteveB may be getting ready to jump ship. ![]() The last time Ballmer sold any shares of Microsoft was seven years ago, when he unloaded about $1 billion.Ĭoincidentally, this past week, Bill Gates sold 3 million shares of Microsoft stock. Last week Steve Ballmer sold 49 million shares of Microsoft stock, at about $1.3 billion, and has filed to sell 26 million more shares, for a total (at current market prices) of about $2 billion. ![]() ![]() The tacos were incredibly underwhelming for Texas, with no spice to speak of. Just a restaurant with nice staff members, but mediocre food. Joanna Gaines, can you hear me? Kimpton needs your help. Also nearby are Sixth Floor Museum and Reunion Tower.
