Foundry Networks & Elliott Wave View. (Earnings tomorrow). Chart is very similiar with Juniper (JNPR) if one wants to compare but I think this has wedged much more meaning also smaller size bullish triangles.

The '''Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry''' is a collaborative experiment involving developers of science-based ontologies. The foundry is concerned with establishing a set of principles for ontology development with the goal of creating a suite of orthogonal interoperable reference ontologies in the biomedical domain.

The top early-stage venture capital firm, Foundry Group, has launched its expanded website over the weekend. The new site not only offers us more detailed information about the Firm, but also provides us with a glimpse into its thematic investing.
Back in December, I published an interview with Foundry Group Managing Director Jason Mendelson, who first [...]
Wireless network provider Foundry Networks Inc. on Thursday said its third-quarter profit more than doubled, helped by sales to the U.S. government. Shares surged in aftermarket trading.Net income for the three months ended Sept. 30 rose to $27.6 million, or 18 cents per share, compared with $12.2 million, or 8 cents per share, during the same period a year earlier.The most recent figures include a $13.3 million non-cash expense related to stock-based compensation, and $60,000 in costs stemming from an investigation into stock option grants and subsequent restatement. Excluding those costs, Foundry said it earned $35.9 million, or 23 cents per share.Analysts had been expecting a profit of 17 cents per share, on average, according to a survey by Thomson Financial. Those forecasts typically exclude one-time costs.

Sandbox World is animated about the newest imprint called Comic Foundry an exciting new magazine that tackles the comic industry from a different angle. There are not that many magazines that cover the comic industry, I see great promise from this offering. I hope many people will support this venture, it holds great promise.sandbox world, tony medeiros
By Colin CroucherIf you have been thinking about making a start in hobby foundry work in your home workshop, you may be forgiven for thinking that the tools and equipment are going to cost you an arm and a leg, this need not be. Sure, you could trot off to the downtown industrial tools supplier and take home an arm full of expensive tools.But if you take a good look at some of the tools, you'll discover that the design principles and fabrication could well be undertaken in the home workshop if you have metal fabrication skills and a reasonable amount of basic metal working equipment.Take for instance "crucible lifting tongs", once you understand how these tools operate; you could quite easily make a set or two over a weekend. The basic design action operates on the "scissor principle" but they don't cut anything, they are designed to "clamp securely" onto the crucible to lift it out of the furnace when the metal has melted. Great caution needs to be taken while carrying out this oper
By Colin CroucherGreen sand is one of the oldest foundry moulding mediums known to the industry, its use in the foundry can be traced back to the early times. But do you know how to get the best from it.While it's use in commercial foundry operations has diminished somewhat, green sand still has its place in the hobby foundry. Green sand can be made up using quite basic materials, and is still being used to produce sound quality aluminium, bronze, and grey iron castings in many hobby foundries scattered across the globe.Green sand is also ecologically friendly in that it can be recycled & reused almost indefinitely, before being discarded in favour of a newly mulled batch.When green sand was the preferred commercial moulding material, special machines were used to reprocess the sand to remove foreign objects and to break down the dry sand lumps and recondition the sand again for the moulding shop.Because green sand is reconditioned or re-tempered by the addition of water, it requi

By Colin CroucherSuccess or otherwise in your hobby foundry will depend to a large degree on your skills & ability to create simple patterns, i.e. Patterns that are easy to mould, lift or separate from the sand mould after a gentle rap.A pattern that has incorrect draft on vertical surfaces, badly finished corner fillets, or a pattern that has not been finished to an ultra smooth finish will be difficult to work with.Pattern making is an art in itself, pattern making apprenticeships take around three or four years to complete, before you are given your "Trade Ticket".The average hobby foundry worker most likely won't have the time, or the patience to get involved with the art of pattern making to that extent.But the basic skills are worth the effort to learn, because without them you wont get far with your hobby foundrywork, unless you PAY to have all of your patterns made for you, but that would take all of the fun out of it, and also cost you a sizeable amount of money.Construction
One of the good things to come from MySpace was that I was recently made aware of a non-profit organization called The Hero Foundry.From their own website..."The Hero Foundry endowments contain an eclectic mix of comic books spanning numerous genres with the desired goal to provide comic literature that inspires creativity, an appreciation for art, and most importantly, to provide positive role models and moral guidance to today's youth. These books are rated by their respective companies and we look to these guidelines to decide appropriate material. Ultimately we look to the recipients of the endowment to make the final selection of the books and content they would like to receive."Getting kids to read? Comics? Featuring positive role models?Sounds like a winner to me.Check them out here.
