CopperEgg's RevealCloud v3 Delivers First Real-Time System Process Monitoring Service
RevealCloud v3 supports larger server deployments with features ideal for both DevOps and IT System Administrators.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 26, 2012 - CopperEgg, Corp., a real-time monitoring and analytics company, today announced the release of RevealCloud™ v3, the leading, real-time monitoring service for cloud, virtual, physical and hybrid IT deployments. RevealCloud v3 delivers a number of new features, including support for thousands of simultaneous nodes across any deployment model, enhanced at-a-glance user interface and real-time system Process Monitoring. RevealCloud's robust feature set and pay-per-use pricing scheme makes it an ideal monitoring service for SaaS Web Developers and IT System Administrators.
RevealCloud is a SaaS-based server monitoring service that provides a detailed, unified view of all of your servers, running across OS, public, private clouds, virtual and physical environments. With RevealCloud v3, real-time data is displayed for all system processes, CPUs, network interfaces, memory, disk I/O and more. RevealCloud supports all cloud environments, including Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Windows Azure, SoftLayer and more, with server monitoring for Windows, Hyper-V, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD operating systems. Featuring easy installation, customizable alerts, high-resolution drilldown and multi-user support, RevealCloud is a complete monitoring solution for today's dynamic, mixed-server/cloud hybrid environments.
"We are very pleased with the addition of real-time process monitoring in RevealCloud", said Ben Weatherman, co-founder at Ordoro. "Previously, RevealCloud could tell us that memory consumption was running high. Now with process monitoring we have instant insight into what process is consuming memory, which even some of our non-technical folks have used to troubleshoot a customer issue."
"As RevealCloud gained traction in the marketplace, maintaining our real-time view into much larger deployments and adding process monitoring emerged as the most requested features," said Kip McClanahan, CEO of CopperEgg. "We've continued to aggressively enhance RevealCloud since its launch and believe it offers the easiest to use, highest value system monitoring product available for DevOps and System Administrators."
Today users expect applications and services to perform seamlessly. If an application stops responding – even for a few seconds – customers become easily frustrated and often abandon their efforts, resulting in lost revenue and/or productivity. Server monitoring using RevealCloud provides split-second monitoring of the operating and performance metrics for servers that support critical application services, no matter where they are located. This enables IT and development teams to accelerate time to market during the development phase, optimize deployments as they learn customer usage patterns, and identify early warning signs of service degradation.
CopperEgg's System Monitoring – Key Benefits:
System monitoring with CopperEgg's RevealCloud is available here starting with 2 systems monitored for free with full functionality.
About CopperEgg
CopperEgg provides real-time insight into the speed and availability of applications and services deployed on cloud, virtual and physical servers. Our SaaS-based server monitoring tool is designed to install in seconds with no configuration and immediately deliver fine-grained visibility into critical performance metrics, insight into developing trends, and split-second decision support for organizations of all sizes. CopperEgg is backed by Silverton Partners and based in Austin, Texas. For more information, visit: http://www.copperegg.com.

Promotional Card - 'Shower water saver', Victorian Government, October 2003 Reg. No: HT 22067 5
- Summary:
- Promotional card - 'Shower water saver', Department of Sustainability and Environment, October 2003. Secured to the card is a 'Shower Flow Control Pack' which includes a flow control valve and two rubber washers. Instructions on how to fit these items are listed on the reverse. These items are designed to control the flow from shower heads to a maximum of 9 litres per minute.
- Description:
- Card with a small plastic bag containing a flow control valve and two rubber washers.
- Statement Of Significance:
- These items were collected during the Water Smart Home project and document the developing strategies used by the Victorian Government, water authorities, private industries and communities in confronting the emerging water crisis from 1995 to 2007. It captures the increasing urgency to address the growing imbalance between water supply and demand. It demonstrates a shift in government strategy away from an investment in major infrastructure to a campaign focused on behaviour change methods to reduce water consumption and secure Melbourne's water future.
An interesting feature of this material is the focus on gardening. Prior to water restrictions, Melbourne households used up to 50% of potable water for gardening - a significant focus of the public education campaign was therefore directed to this popular cultural activity and offered many ways to preserve this activity within the limits of Melbourne's water supply.
The Smart Water Fund was set up as part of the 'Our Water Our Future' campaign to support innovative water conservation projects, including Museum Victoria's Water Smart Home project. This material was collected as part of the Water Smart Home project. It shows how the 'Our Water Our Future' campaign infiltrated households in Melbourne, and documents the broader community messages and education strategies.

When your Sunday evening includes having to eat leftover carryout, a loss by your favorite football team and the season finale of your favorite television show, there's not many places to turn to feel better outside of Reddit's "WTF" page.
Because honestly, WTF?!
My Sunday night may have been a downer, but not after I stumbled upon this Craigslist gem "Looking for 8 other Dark Riders (Tallahassee)."
I'm looking for 8 (eight) other motorcycle riders to start a bike clan. We will be known as "The Nazgûl"
It doesn't really matter what kind of bike you have or what color it is. Black is preferred though. However "The Nazgûl" does not accept scooter riders. Tough luck. Go start a hobbit clan with your little scooters.
Duties include: Wearing black cloaks wherever we ride; Exuding an aura of death to all nearby vehicles on the road. Optional duties include: Whispering "Shire… Baggins…" to any nearby pedestrians when stopped at a red light, replacing your horn with a loud screech that induces fear and hopelessness, and equipping yourself with a sword (I have a broadsword. It's no Morgul blade, but hey, it works.).
We won't ever ride in the rain, because the dark riders don't like water; its also a safety concern. I myself, have a black gsxr 600 and been riding for about 13 months. I don't have a cloak yet, but If I get enough of you nerds together, then I'll make one.
As far as choosing our "Witch-King", I think we should vote based on a combination of who has the most wicked bike and who gets into character the best. "DO YOU NOT KNOW DEATH WHEN YOU SEE IT, OLD MAN?!"
But BEWARE! For the Witch-King cannot be slain by the likes of any mortal man; however it is possible that a woman in her Mitsubishi Eclipse, who happens to be texting her BFF, may not see you when she rear-ends you…
I'll never complain about reheated Pad Thai or say a bad thing about Florida or the people of Tallahasee ever again. Thank you, Reddit. I feel so much better.
On Tuesday, a user calling himself "sti2gsxr" put the following post on Gixxer.com – "a forum dedicated to the Suzuki GSX-R motorcycles."
One page later, forum members determined he had not poured NOS Fuel Cleaner into his bike, but instead had filled his tank with NOS Energy Drink. Forty-eight pages later (as of posting time), Gixxer has set new records for visitors and temporarily had their site crippled (and is looking more like a 4chan board).
If the tale is true, this guy is a complete idiot, and if it's fake, this guy is a total loser with way too much time on his hands. Your classic lose-lose situation.
What do you think? Master fail or master troll?

I went out drinking with a colleague last night. He works in the oil sands industry. We got to arguing about total and effective stresses in soil mechanics and tailings engineering. I illustrated the differences between total stress, effective stress, and pore pressure via our drinks, thus:
Add ice to your brandy, and you have a fluid in which the pore pressure is equal to the total stress; the ice cubes are not carrying load but are just floating or bobbing in the water, thus the effective stress is zero.
Conversely take your brandy on the rocks and the effective stress is pretty much equal to the total stress, and unless you have overdone the brandy, the pore pressure is pretty nearly zero. The ice carries the load and the brandy is nice and cold for drinking.
The point is that for both forms of brandy and ice, the effective stress law is valid. Altough if the ice is floating in the brandy, the effective stress equation may simply be irrelevant.
Of course you can think of this in terms of phase diagrams as mechanical engineers do when they plot regions for steam, water, and ice: the same stuff, just that different equations are more or less important depending on temperature and pressure.
We concurred on these concept. And we drank and chatted about total stress, effective stress, pore pressure, or common old garden stress in a fluid like brandy with a few clumps of ice where the effective stress concept and law are simply irrelevant—until that terrible time came when we had drunk too much brandy and the individual ice cubes were in particle to particle contact and the brandy bottle was empty. And the dominance of the effective stress induced sobreity panic.

Films from Italian film master Bernardo Bertolucci
"Last Tango in Paris", "The Conformist", "The Last Emperor"….Italian film director Bernardo Bertolucci is a master of controversy, never ceasing to surprise audiences with eye-opening storylines and arresting images. Eleven of his distinguished works produced from 1962 to 1998 will be shown in Hong Kong next month.
Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and sponsored by Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong, the retrospective "Bernardo Bertolucci" is part of the "Year of Italy in China 2006". It is the first programme of the "Repertory Cinema 2006" series curated by Law Wai-ming. Two other retrospectives "German New Cinema of the 60s" and works of Japanese film director Terayama Shuji will be featured respectively in September and November.
The selection includes Bertolucci's early works "The Grim Reaper" (1962) and "Before the Revolution"(1964), award-winning films "The Conformist" (1970), "Last Tango in Paris" (1972) and "The Last Emperor" (1987), "Luna" (1979) and "Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man" (1981) and the five hours masterpiece of "1900" (1976).
The films will be shown from July 4 to 12 at the Cinema of Hong Kong Film Archive, July 15 to 23 at the Lecture Hall of Hong Kong Space Museum and July 17 to 21 at the Lecture Hall of Hong Kong Science Museum.
A seminar entitled "The Complication of Bertolucci", to be conducted in Cantonese, is scheduled for July 16 at 4 pm at the Lecture Hall of Hong Kong Space Museum.
Bertolucci belongs to the third generation of the post-war Italian directors. The beginning of his career coincided with the economic boom and the consequent rise of the new middle class in Italy. Following the transition of post-war Italian neo-Realism, Bertolucci depicted the malaise of western European intellectuals caught in the midst of social transition and disintegration of old values and systems.
Born in Parma, Bertulocci followed in his poet father's footsteps and published an anthology of poetry that won a prestigious national literary award. He started his film career at the age of 21 as an assistant to film director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
He made his directing debut with "The Grim Reaper" which was based on a script by Pasolini. His second film "Before the Revolution" marked the first significant step in his artistic path.
Bertolucci's themes transcend the conflict between Italian history and personal political consciousness. His films are full of tragedy showing the agony, madness, confusion and degeneration of self-imposed exiles.
The opening film "The Conformist" is a masterwork that won him international acclaim. A thriller about an intellectual who joins the Fascists and is handed an assassination assignment, the film flows with a non-linear narrative structure and mesmerises with Bertolucci's signature lyrical images. It won Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival 1970, the National Society of Film Critics Awards, USA in 1972, and the Journalists' Special Award at the Berlin International Film Festival 1970.
Bertulocci won Best Director at the Oscars for his most disputed film "Last Tango in Paris". Sensational eroticism, sensuous and passionate visual aesthetics and totally uninhibited dialogue on lust and the human condition, and with a brilliant performance by Marlon Brandon, the film proves the director's absolute mastery of film language through the brilliant script and bravura cinematography.
After "Last Tango in Paris", he secured sufficient funding to fulfill his dream epic, the 312-minute "1900" starring Robert De Niro and Gérard Depardieu. To Bertolucci, it is not merely a film but his political manifesto. Through the lives of a peasant and a landowner's son and how their fates choose opposing political paths, Bertolucci condemns the hypocrisy of capitalism and glorifies humanism. The film won Best Director Award at Bodil Film Festival 1977.
What's a mother to do if her only son becomes a junkie? In "Luna", Bertolucci offers a universally accepted solution – love, but adopts a radical way. Another film full of surprise, the "Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man" exposes the selfishness of the bourgeoisie. The son of the owner of a cheese factory has been kidnapped, yet the father, with Anonk Aimée being his beautiful wife is deliberating his time to pay the ransom as he wants more chance to get close to his son's gorgeous girlfriend!
Whether "The Last Emperor" is Bertolucci's magnum opus is a matter of personal taste. It took Hollywood by storm and swept the board at the Oscars. With the hit theme music composed by Sakamoto Ryuichi, lavish costumes designed by Jim Acheson, superb performances by John Lone and Joan Chen, the film is a majestic pageant of stunning cinematography, music and art direction.
Bertolucci's early works pulsate his youthful genius. His debut "The Grim Reaper" (1962) spins fives stories in Rashomon mode--each with its own version of "truth". In "Before the Revolution", charting the unconventional erotic love between a young radical and his middle-aged aunt, the director integrates his political ideology into the exploration of human nature.
With crafted script and ravishing colours, "Besieged" features a classical pianist who becomes besotted with his beautiful but melancholy domestic helper. She responds with a proposition – rescue her husband who is a political prisoner in Africa. The Bertoluccian hero is in Helmet's shoes, taunted by the choice between physical gratification and romantic fulfillment.
Not to be missed are "The Spider's Stratagem" (1970) and "The Sheltering Sky" (1990). The former is a thriller about a young man's attempt to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his long-deceased anti-facist work while "The Sheltering Sky" is an adaptation of Paul Bowles' work, starring John Malkovich and Debra Winger.
"The Grim Reaper", "Before the Revolution", "The Spider's Stratagem", "1900", "Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man" have English subtitles and other films are in English. "The Conformist" and "Luna" also have Chinese subtitles.
Tickets priced at $50 are available at all URBTIX outlets.

In 1976, the Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, WI, was the number two beer maker in the United States, its roughly $600 million in sales almost equal to that of industry leader Anheuser-Busch. But trouble loomed. The growing popularity of name-brand light beers, increased availability of niche and foreign brews, and a change in Schlitz's brewing process, done to make its namesake beer cheaper to mass-produce, all were taking a toll on the market share of "the most carefully brewed beer in the world."
So, in the Summer of 1977, an new CEO at Schlitz abandoned their heretofore successful "Go for the Gusto" slogan, and turned to the ad men of Leo Burnett to craft a message that would help increase the brewer's short-term profits (the time between investment and payback was apparently too long for new management). What the boys from Burnett produced was a campaign that will live in infamy:
The commercials varied from one featuring a Muhammad Ali-like boxer with a full entourage to a rugged outdoorsman with his pet mountain lion. In each of the four commercials, an off-camera voice asked the lead characters to give up their Schlitz beer for another brand. The commercials, as Richard Stanwood, at the time Burnett's director of creative services, would later recall, were meant to be "interruptive."
At the screening of the new commercials, the Burnett people watched as the boxer told a disembodied voice that he was going to knock him "…down for the count" for even suggesting a switch from the Schlitz label. The outdoorsman in one of the following commercials told his pet mountain lion to calm down after his choice of Schlitz beer was also challenged and snarled back to the animal, "Just a minute, babe. I'll handle this."
. . . .
The reactions to the commercials once they went public were almost immediate; people hated them. Burnett officials were appalled at the reaction.
. . . .
Ten weeks after the commercials first began to air, Schlitz management ordered them pulled. Soon after, the Leo Burnett ad agency was fired by the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company.
The short-lived run of commercials would go down in advertising history as "The Drink Schlitz or I'll Kill You" ad campaign.
Though perhaps just the most obvious symptom of a systemic problem, the campaign sounded the death knell for "the drink that made Milwaukee famous." Within a year, the company was in the red; by 1982, Schlitz had lost 90 percent of its market share. The company was sold, and sold again, and by the turn of the century, the brand had virtually disappeared from taps across the country.
I wanted to show you an example of these admonishing ads; I waded through hours of YouTubes to find one (I really did), but, alas, it seems that when Schlitz pulled these ads, they really pulled them. Fortunately, as luck would have it, I was watching "The Rachel Maddow Show" last night, and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell did a remarkable reenactment:
We've been scared. We've been hiding behind shower curtains. It's time to get out there and campaign about the good stuff we've done. . . .The opposition is being influenced more and more by wackos. . . . Our base ought to wake up. And anybody who's watching this show who thought they might not vote 'cause they are a little disappointed over this and a little disappointed over that, get over it. The stakes are huge; we gotta get out there and vote.
OK, maybe that's not quite as good as the Schlitzing we got last week from White House barback Joe Biden ("Get in gear, man. . . . [Progressives] better get energized because the consequences are serious."), but both spots have clearly been crafted by the same (m)ad men. In either case, the message is clear (OK, maybe "clear" is not the best word, but bear with me–I'll start again. . . .). In either case, the message is clear: Vote for Democrats, or else!
I don't believe that Rendell or Biden—or, for that matter, President Obama, who has also gone for the gusto lately—threatened to kill us, or even hurt us all that much (though I hear punching is much in vogue), but they are making a dire threat all the same.
[Bachmann terror overdrive! . . . after the jump.]
Bachmanns and Issas and Boehners, oh my!
What they are threatening is vague—"investigations" of some unnamed sort, "more of the same," "wackos" and "Tea Party Republicans"—but it is meant to be scary. And what they are saying through these threats is that if any of this terror comes to pass, we'll know whom to blame: those nitpicky, "glass half empty" voters of the professional and amateur left.
Blame game aside, for argument's sake, let's take the Democrats' strategy at something like face value. Is this, as implemented, a winning campaign?
To begin with, examine the "or else." "Investigations" and "subpoena power" are probably meant to remind us of Clinton's second term, when a newly emboldened Republican majority brought the Congress to a standstill with impeachment hearings and a trial. I would be first to express my disgust with what that vintage of Republican majority did–it was conniving, irresponsible, and inexcusable. But, do Democrats really want to remind America about what was at the center of that impeachment? In a year when GOP sex scandals are ripe and bountiful, why give folks an excuse to shrug and say, "Both sides fuck around?"
Then there is the "more of the same" or "reversing back to the same" threat. My first thought—or my thought about what some of the truly disenfranchised might think—is, "Which same? The bad economy from before we elected Democrats, or the bad economy from after?" And there is even a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that says, flat out, that most Americans don't believe Republicans will do the same things they did the last time they held power.
And what about those "Tea Party Republicans?" Evidently, some consultant has told Democratic insiders that this is messaging gold, because darn near every Dem surrogate within six feet of a microphone has used the term. Meanwhile, everyone from anonymous White House officials to the President himself has told reporters the strategy is to tie Republicans to the "extremist" Tea Party.
Rachel Maddow praised this move in the same show that featured Rendell, and criticized some inside the party who expressed dismay and warned of a backlash. While I will agree with Maddow that you do not need to refrain from calling the GOP "extremists" because you might have some chance of negotiating something with them if you do (nevergonnahappen), I have my doubts about the amount of benefit you will gain from drawing a circle around the "Tea Party" and the GOP.
Plenty of polls show Americans are dissatisfied with the sitting government at near-record levels. While not every race has proven to fit neatly into the "anti-establishment" storyline, it seems clear that positioning oneself as separate or different from the Washington establishment is a consistent talking point. The GOP crashes that have the national media rubbernecking from Nevada to Delaware are the result of a minority, yes, but a dedicated, enthusiastic minority, mobilizing to vote for relative outsiders over more established government hands.
So, why, in a year where being affiliated with any Beltway power structure is seen as political deadweight, are the Democrats falling all over themselves to tell voters that the previously stale, establishment GOP has been taken over by a fresh group of populist outsiders? How is it that we are to automatically believe that this new crop of "wackos" will do the same things as the old-timers that the Tea Partiers worked so hard to replace?
From a messaging perspective, you can see the inherent contradiction. And a contradictory, confusing message is likely a failing one. Confusion breeds inaction, and inaction is not the answer to the Democrats' all-consuming enthusiasm gap.
That giant sucking sound
I have already gone on at some length about how an election is not a situation where you can hope to win by simply "sucking less" (and it is sucking less that is still very much underneath most of the Dem messaging). You have to leverage your benefits, and those benefits have to be apparent. Voting is not compulsory in the US, and if the choice for many is between "sucks" and "sucks less," staying away from the polls is a very understandable third option. That leaves the truly motivated, the enthusiastic Tea Partiers, if you will, to dominate an almost certain low turnout election.
In 1976, there were fresh choices for beer drinkers, and Schlitz's reaction was to abandon their core identity as well as their winning formula. They chose to eschew long-term investment for short-term profit, and when threatened by fast-weakening consumer enthusiasm, they decided to threaten their consumers right back. Threatening consumers did not work for Schlitz, and that was in a category where people pretty much understand the immediate benefits of their choices.
For Democratic leaders, threatening unenthusiastic voters with vague pictures of doom and gloom, when much of what the voters see right now is already pretty gloomy, is not going to "wake up" very many of the rank and file. Promising little else in terms of benefits if Democrats stay in power—little beyond "there's more to do"—does not provide enough positive motivation to engender enthusiasm.
Interestingly, in 2008, Pabst, the current owners of the Schlitz name, began to reintroduce Schlitz, selling the benefits of its back-formulated, pre-1970s taste. In that same year, Americans elected a president who asked them to vote their hopes and not their fears. That was a winning strategy. Why, only two years later, has that president and his party chosen to ask us (or, more like, order us) to vote our fears?

Matthew Oliver, 23, was arrested Friday afternoon—two days after the Wednesday post on the social media network. Oliver had a warrant for his arrest as a robbery suspect.
The morning of the post, Oliver began posting angry comments where he accused the sheriff's office of "slandering my name" and attacked the "fools investigating crimes." He posted that he couldn't have been involved in the robbery because he was cut during "an mma fight got mrsa and almost died."
The post garnered more than 400 comments and was followed by an updated posted on Friday announcing Oliver's arrest.

Surviving increased competition and low bidders in a challenging economy
Roger Powell, co-owner of landscape company Backyards Only, uses a Bobcat MT52 mini track loader to work efficiently an stay competitive.
This story is the first part of a series addressing the challenges contractors are facing in this economic environment. In December 2008, as the effects of this recession were starting to impact all sectors of the economy, business owners who use Bobcat� equipment were interviewed and asked to share their insights into the previous year and their plans to keep their businesses viable.
The economy.
These two words used to be said with confidence. Now, they express concern and uncertainty.
While the factors that contributed to this recession have been identified, finding a solution to the problem has been a little harder. The question contractors are asking themselves right now is: �What do I do to make sure my business survives?�
�I�m not looking at a down economy, I�m looking at a way to grow my business,� says Roger Powell, an owner and partner of Backyards Only, a landscape company in Colorado Springs, Colo. Powell and his partner, Jon Herman, increased their business 25 percent over last year even though the main market for their company, new home construction, was low. Powell says some homebuilders in his area didn�t even pull a permit last season.
How did Powell manage what seems like the impossible? What are the challenges facing contractors, and how are they responding to keep their businesses viable?
A frozen money market means borrowing money for a construction project is difficult. When the number of projects in a market decreases, the contractors in that area have less work and competition increases.
There are two problems that increased competition creates for contractors. First, contractors begin to bid on work that they haven�t normally performed in the past. Often, the work that inexperienced contractors do is inferior to that of contractors established in the markets they serve. Second, in the capitalist system, competition leads to a decrease in price. Contractors experience this firsthand through competing bids that are at or below cost.
New kids on the block
With substantially fewer homebuilders pulling permits in Colorado Springs, Powell says he�s faced competition from construction workers trying to make ends meet. �I�m going up against guys who were hanging drywall last year, but since they don�t have any other work, they�re trying out landscaping and are underbidding us,� he says.
Another contractor, Keith Kamish, is experiencing competition similar to Powell. Kamish, the vice president of K.A. Kamish Excavation Inc. in St. Paul, Minn., says the downturn in new home construction led many residential excavation contractors to look for work in his market, commercial excavation. Despite the increased competition, Kamish says that 2008 was still one of the best years his company has had.
Kamish credits his knowledge of his market as a contributor to his continued success. The requirements of engineers and general contractors on commercial projects are different than residential construction. Knowing the expectations of general contractors and engineers gives Kamish an advantage over the new competition. �I�m used to compacting fill material in one-foot lifts, while some residential contractors don�t take compaction requirements into consideration. Knowing those differences are things that contractors new to this type of work have to learn, where I already know,� says Kamish.
Avoiding low bids
A reputation for knowing the requirements of a job and establishing your company in a market can take a contractor only so far in tough economic times. The most challenging aspect of increased competition for established contractors are bids from new companies that come in unusually low. When work dries up in one sector, contractors may become so desperate for work that they bid low on projects in other sectors just to get in the door.
How are contractors like Kamish overcoming increased competition and low bids? Kamish says that it�s difficult to turn down work, but that contractors need to take a longer view of their business than one job or a group of jobs that are lost to low-bidding competitors. Trying to match bids that are obviously low is a dangerous practice. Kamish says that he knows how much a job is worth, and if that job is done under its value someone is going to lose money. �I would rather go out of business having no work than doing a lot of work that�s going to cost me money,� Kamish says.
Byron Andreas uses Bobcat skid-steer loaders in his concrete business and advises other contractors to provide exceptional customer service to keep work coming in.
While it might be hard to do in the short term, Kamish says turning down work can help a contractor in the long term. �If the competing bid is too low, I want the general contractors I work for to use the other contractor because I don�t want him here next year. I know that contractor is going to go out of business. I�ll weather the storm,� says Kamish.
Networking through employees and customers
Since avoiding low bids is impossible and doing work and losing money at the same time isn�t a good option, Kamish and Powell have had to try other tactics to stay viable. While these two contractors work in different markets, they have both used networking as a way to keep their crews working.
In economic conditions like this, many contractors find that they have to do more work themselves. This was the case with Kamish, who was estimating and bidding on his jobs and then working on them because he had let a foreman go who was not providing good customer service. Doing all this work not only took a toll on Kamish, it started to negatively affect his family. �It about killed me,� he says.
Kamish hired a new foreman and an estimator to help with job bidding, and says it was a good decision. In addition to the contacts Kamish had already established, the new hires had contacts of their own, and the larger network of contacts has led to additional business.
Powell also networks to keep his business going, but instead of relying on his employees� contacts, he seeks referrals from his customers. Powell recently consulted with an advertising agency. As he saw the downturn in the housing market, Powell knew he needed new strategies to reach customers. The agency did not recommend that Powell advertise over the radio and in the newspaper; instead, he was given a marketing plan with unique ways to prospect for new business. One of the strategies offered was to contact previous customers who were happy with Backyards Only work and ask for referrals.
�I want to continue to target the brand-new construction, but in this economy you have to grow your business however you can. We�ve started to do work at existing homes, and those have all come from referrals,� says Powell.
Contractors naturally feel that increased competition threatens their business. Trying to match low bids in order to continue working is a risky practice. Experienced contractors need to consider the true cost of any job and the quality of the competition when submitting bids. Building a good reputation and a firm financial footing makes it easier for a contractor to lose a few low bids. A little patience can go a long way as other contractors who bid low or perform substandard work lose money or go out of business. Using new ways of connecting with customers, such as networking through employees or customers, is key to surviving super-competitive markets.

Almost half of all Americans, in their lifetime, will experience dizziness or balance symptoms severe enough to visit a doctor. Dizziness can describe many sensations – spinning, lightheadedness, unsteadiness, floating or even fainting – and are symptoms of a problem with the brain's normal receiving and processing signals from our eyes, inner ears and nervous system.
At the Utah Valley Balance Center, our highly qualified and experienced therapists and audiologists work with patients to evaluate the source of their dizziness and balance problems and provide a treatment plan to provide relief.
Due to the complexity of the balance system in the body, a team of medical professions from a variety of backgrounds may be called upon to perform tests and assist in the evaluation and treatment.
Is it an emergency? If you experience sudden, severe dizziness along with any of the following, seek medical attention immediately!
The following risk factors increase the chance of becoming dizzy and having balance problems.
In addition to your physician's physical examination, you may need to undergo testing to provide the necessary information to accurately determine the cause of your symptoms:
Because some problems affect both the balance and hearing portions of the inner ear, a test of your hearing may be required. Even if you don't feel hearing impaired, a precise measurement of your hearing can often provide important diagnostic information. Middle ear studies can help identify ruptures or leaks in inner ear membranes. Other middle ear tests can help identify facial nerve (fifth cranial nerve) abnormalities .
Your physician will look at your eyes as part of this physical examination. When precise measurement of eye movements is needed, a Videonystagmograpy (VNG) test is performed This test uses light-limiting goggles equipped with infrared cameras. Individual eye movement recordings are made while you look at visual targets; with your head in different positions; and while your ears are irrigated with warm and cool water. This stimulation provides the sensation of movement, even though your body is lying still.
This test evaluates abnormalities in a person's use of the three sensory systems that contribute to balance and the ability to stay upright: the somatosensory, visual and vestibular systems. In other words, we measure how much a person relies upon their vision, their inner ears, and sensations from their lower body while trying to remain steady. This test assesses a patient's ability to minimize a loss of balance when exposed to unexpected changes in one's ground support.
Electrophysiologic testing of the eighth cranial nerve (the nerve that connects the inner ear with the brain) may be requested by your care team. Brainstem auditory-evoked response (ABR) testing can help identify neural processing problems from the inner ear. Electrocochleography (ECoG) can identify abnormalities in the inner ear itself, which can aid in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease — an inner ear disorder that affects balance and hearing.
In some cases, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may be requested. An MRI makes cross-sectional images of your head or body. These clear, detailed images can help your physician rule out or identify a wide range of problems.

Global carpet tile manufacturer Interface, Inc. and conservation charity the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) are celebrating the successful completion of a pilot project and the start of a commercial venture with both conservation and socio-economic benefits. The innovative collaboration, called Net-Works™, has been created to tackle the growing environmental problem of discarded fishing nets in some of the world's poorest coastal communities.
By establishing a community-based supply chain for discarded nets, Net-Works aims to improve the livelihood of local fishers, while providing Interface with an innovative source of recycled materials for its carpet tiles. Discarded nets on the beaches or in the sea have a detrimental effect on the environment and marine life as they can persist for centuries. But, most nylon from these fishing nets is the same material used to make carpet yarn.
The viability of the collaboration was proven between June and October 2012. After conducting research and working closely with local communities and NGOs, Net-Works established the infrastructure to collect the fishing nets, gathering one metric ton of nets in the first month – and substantially cleaning up the beaches in four local communities near Danajon Bank, a threatened coral reef in the Philippines. Operations are now scaling up, with the intention of developing commercial carpet tiles incorporating the collected nets later this year.
Collection systems will now be set up in at least 15 local villages, involving more than 280 impoverished households (the equivalent of 1,400 people based on an average household size of five). The goal is to collect 20 metric tons of nets by the end of April – a significant amount that will generate funds directly for communities and make a positive difference, given that family incomes in the area are typically less than $192 a month.
Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovation Officer at Interface says, "It is really gratifying to see that the concept we've developed with ZSL works and promises so much. At Interface, we are designing for a higher purpose – and feel a sense of responsibility beyond the products we sell. The collected fishing nets have a nylon that can be recycled directly back into our carpet tiles, which will help us reduce our use of virgin raw materials and, critically, create livelihood opportunities for local communities. We are now looking forward to expanding operations and delivering the first carpet tiles from our collaboration."
Dr. Nick Hill from ZSL says, "Net-Works has been greeted with a huge amount of enthusiasm and interest from the local communities around Danajon Bank. This was clearly seen by the number of people interested in participating in the project and turning out to clear the beaches of discarded nets. Nets are very light, and we always knew our target of collecting one tonne of nets from such a small number of communities was going to be a challenge – so we're delighted that we have been able to achieve this. It is still early and we will be monitoring both the environmental and socio-economic impacts of the project over the coming year, but the signs are there that these impacts will be positive."
Throughout 2013, Interface and ZSL will explore opportunities to expand their partnership to other parts of the world. They also plan to develop a toolkit to help other groups and organizations establish Net-Works supply hubs.

Hi guys, it's me, the overworked and unattractive female college student. I really need to talk to you.
You guys, I can't take it anymore. Seriously, I'm imploding.
It's freakin' college, guys. It's too damn hard and I just can't handle it. How am I supposed to juggle all this work and all these responsibilities? It's just not possible. The system of higher education is killing me.
Like, homework. Dumb, stupid homework. Professors, are you serious with this stuff? How dare you assign me things that require effort outside of class. You actually expect me to write this 15 page paper in two weeks and be happy about it? No way. I'm going to sit around and complain to all my friends about how ridiculous my life is and how school isn't fair and then I'll walk around all miserable like my world is crashing down and just pity the shit out of myself until the day I finally finish the paper. And I'll obviously be wearing sweatpants, a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of Uggz throughout the entire process, as they nicely accentuate my burning desire to give up on life.
It won't end there, though. Right after I hand in the paper you better believe I'm going to tell everyone within earshot how late I stayed up writing, how much time I spent in the library, and how absurdly cruel the last 24 hours have been. You will know exactly how tremendously difficult my life and only my life has been ever since midterms started.
Ugh, midterms. Don't even get me started on these devices of modern torture. How unfair is it that professors are allowed to test us on the material we're supposed to be learning? I truly cannot fathom anything more painstaking and brutal than studying for a college midterm. It's the pinnacle of human suffering.
So once again, still dawning my sweatpants, hooded sweatshirt and Uggz, I'll be off to the library where I'll commiserate an unnecessary amount and complain about how awful my life is. If I pass you somewhere on campus and you say hi, I'm going to give you a quick elevator pitch about the state of my misery, probably ending it with something like, "I'll be in the library forever. Fun!" with the word "fun" said in a sarcastic manner so you know I actually mean "not fun."
It's like, when the professor explains what's going to be on the midterm, I always raise my hand and ask if the test can just be all multiple choice. I'll also ask if all essay questions can be excluded from the test, and then I'll finish off my childlike inquires with the gem, "We can use a cheat sheet on the test, right?" Of course, I already know we cannot, but asking every single time isn't annoying at all and it's a nice hint to professor Adolf that his concentration camp of a class is the bane of my existence.
Man, my life at 21 years old is sooooooooo hard.
Because everyone knows college is the most difficult time in a person's life. Is there anything more arduous than the college workload? Of course not.
Sure, I could stop feeling sorry for myself, understand that college is actually a 4 year vacation with responsibilities that don't hold a candle to those of post-college life, and maybe enjoy myself a little more. But that's no fun. Where would I get my pity from?
Nope, I'm going to keep making this whole process way more difficult than it needs to be. I'm going to keep that unnecessary stress coming in full force. You will feel bad for me. You will have sympathy for me. You will know just how excruciatingly laborious my life is.
So look for me on campus. I'll be the one in the library on Saturday night writing a paper that's due the following Friday.

Flashback! Watch The Voice's Christina Aguilera Sing "Black Velvet" Like a Pro at Just 11 Years Old (VIDEO)
Because she's recently been spending more time coaching new talents than displaying her own, we figured we wanted to give The Voice's Christina Aguilera a little credit. In this blast-from-the-past video, Xtina (before she was Xtina) gives us goosebumps with a pitch-perfect rendition of the '80s classic ballad, "Black Velvet." Let us be reminded: she is epic ... no matter what they say.

A SCUM-DWELLING pond microbe is the inspiration for minute springs that bioengineers hope will operate tomorrow's miniaturised devices.
Danielle France at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is studying a protozoan called Vorticella convallaria, which can attach itself to rocks, lily pads and even other creatures in the plankton using a stalk called a spasmoneme. When the protozoan is disturbed, the spasmoneme contracts abruptly, like a stretched telephone lead springing back into a coiled shape. "We think that it operates on stored energy," says France.
This striking behaviour was first observed by the inventor of the microscope, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, in 1676. But only now have France and her colleagues revealed how this spring-like structure works - and just how powerful it is.
France told the American Society for Cell Biology meeting in San Francisco last week about experiments in which she spun Vorticella cells on a revolving microscope stage, exposing ...

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 3/13/13
I'm as heartbroken as anybody right now. Watching Wes Welker leave for nothing more than an average contract has to make you think that the Patriots have something up their sleeves... RIGHT?? Well according to SI.com, Bill Belichick's master plan will not include free agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha. The teams interested include the 49ers (seriously, where are they getting all this money?), Texans, Broncos, and Cardinals. I wrote a few days ago about why the Patriots would probably choose not to go after the former Pro Bowler, but on the heels of Wes Welker peacing out, I would hope that the Pats have a big trick up their sleeves.
