Note… the site is being rebuilt! Many pages are still in the old format, but I'm trying to keep the navigation seamless. The interesting stuff here is under the Root Cause Analysis section.
Now, here's some really outdated introductory text (from like… 2006 I think). Yeah. This stuff is old.
Hi. Welcome to my eclectic website, where I display in public the clutter that fills my brain. Maybe you'll find something useful here, or maybe not. All I know for sure is that I need to have some kind of outlet for my half-formed ideas. I'm hoping that the discipline required to put these ideas into words (and publish them here) will help me, somehow.
I am a nuclear engineer with a Master's degree from Mississippi State University. I did some work at Argonne National Lab while I was in grad school. I then went to work for Entergy Nuclear, where I worked in BWR Physics Support and later as a Reactor Engineer at River Bend Station. I also worked at TransWare Enterprises for a while, primarily doing reactor analysis code development.
Since mid-2002, I've been working at Ontario Power Generation, mostly doing corrective actions work. I started out with the Construction department of the Pickering-A Return-to-Service project, which you can read about here. When that project ended, I transferred into the Training department for a brief time to do some work on Computer Based Training. Then I spent a few months in the Root Cause Team for Pickering-B, and then transitioned into the station's main corrective actions group. I really liked that job, until things got really… crappy. Then I moved to the Station Engineering department, and after a while, things got better.
Even though I'm in an Engineering group, I'm still doing a lot of corrective actions work, mainly trending. I'm not doing much in the area of root cause analysis currently, at least at work, but I'm sure I'll get back into that eventually. I've done quite a bit of Engineering Work Management stuff, and dabbled in Equipment Reliability and Aging Management. Most of that is pretty interesting. I'll let you guess which part is my least favourite. (Hint… it has something to do with managing the work of engineers, which anyone can tell you is kind of like trying to herd a bunch of very smart but very stubborn hippos!)
Thanks for visiting my site. Take a look around, check it out, and please let me know if you see anything that doesn't look right. Email me: bdot (at) bill-wilson.net. Cheers!

You are here
- 1 ready-made 12-inch pizza crust
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 Tbs. butter or olive oil
- 1 Tbs. sugar
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- Olive oil for brushing
- 1 ½-2 cups diced cooked chicken, any skin removed
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Set pizza crust on an ungreased sheet pan and set aside. Halve the onions and slice lengthwise into thin strips. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions to pan and cook, stirring often, for approximately six minutes until beginning to brown. Add the sugar and season onions to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook until onions are soft and dark brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add one tablespoon of water to the pan and stir the onions, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Once the water evaporates, remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, combine the cheeses in a small bowl. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil and spread two-thirds of the cheese mixture evenly over crust. Top with chicken and caramelized onions, and sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over top. Cook for 10-13 minutes until cheese is bubbly. For a crisper crust, remove the pizza from the sheet pan the last few minutes of cooking. Cool slightly before slicing.

The Sequester is nothing more than small decrease in the rate of increase in federal spending OVER 10 YEARS. President Obama should be the one to choose where the $85 billion in cuts should come from THIS YEAR since THE SEQUESTER was HIS IDEA TO BEGIN WIT
The President needs to lead on this issue he created instead of campaigning against it.

Department of Defense. We are no longer supporting a war in Iraq, you know, that UNFUNDED war that Libs like to toss out. We have a scaled back war in Afghanistan. Well, fella's use some of that "PEACE DIVIDEND" that Obama is so proud of. "I'll use the money we're no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work — rebuilding roads and bridges, schools and runways. After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation-building right here at home."

In the private sector, when something happens that has the potential to affect the delivery of goods and services to the company's customer, everything is done to minimize the effect on the customer. But Gov't is not a managed private entity. It is a bunch of little independent departments that are run like individual fiefdoms. So when the FAA has to cut 1.5% out of a $73,000,000,000 budget Ray Lahood decides that it is the air traffic controllers and security screeners at airports that are the first to go in order to maximize the pain felt by taxpayers/customers. Basically, this is a way of getting retribution on the Taxpayer for daring to cut the rate of increase by so little. Inflicting the most pain to the customer with the least pain to the FAA.

No more govt. money invested in programs like hydraulic fracturing: fine, bring it one. No more subsidies for oil exploration: Fine, bring it on. Big Bird goes by the wayside: Big Bird makes millions on his own. Hedge fund managers pay the same tax rate as Dave Archer a real job creator, that alone will save big bucks in loophole closings: Bring it on.

No more govt. money invested in programs like hydraulic fracturing, yes your tax dollars went to set this system up. No more subsidies for oil exploration, the little companies need no more help than the welfare queen Rex Tillerson does. Big Bird goes by the wayside, well send all kids to WORKINGGIRLS home for tea and fruitcakes. Hedge fund managers pay the same tax rate as Dave Archer a real job creator, that alone will save big bucks in loophole closings. Federal reserve charges foreign banks interest, no more interest rates of 0%, that takes tax dollars offshore to hide in havens. That alone will add up to trillions in the next decade. Thank you for asking. 1 of DA MOB.

Rand Paul returned 600,000 to the treasury, from his office, will Billyboy do the same? If you are a convicted felon, you cannot be a military contractor. Subsidies for companies making profits of 35 billion in 1 qtr. need not continue. All foreign aid including Isreal, needs to stop, if you are serious about spending and want it cut, take money out of your pocket to support Isreals plight, dont take next generations.

"supercommittee." That group was supposed to cut $1.2 trillion but also had a goal of $1.5 trillion, with the possibility of going even higher.
Vested with immense power and special rules for moving its recommendations through Congress, the committee did what Congress does frequently of late: stalemated and failed.
That triggered the BCA's backup plan: the sequester. This is $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board reductions in nearly all government operations over the next decade.
Posted 584 days ago.
Where did the sequester come from? This particular Washington doozy came out of another conflagration – the debt-ceiling fight of 2011. Republicans, fresh off their electoral landslide in the 2010 midterms, demanded $1 in spending reductions for every $1 increase in the federal debt ceiling.
The messy negotiations that ensued buried the stock market and undermined consumer confidence, but policymakers did, in the end, hatch a plan to raise the US borrowing limit.
More specifically, Congress and President Obama agreed to the Budget Control Act (BCA), which matched some $2.4 trillion in debt-ceiling hikes with a similar amount of deficit reduction over the next decade.
Of the total deficit reduction, $900 billion was to be achieved through spending caps affecting all government functions outside of entitlement programs. For the rest, Congress was to explicitly decide on how to make the reductions through a bipartisan commission of lawmakers known colloquially as the "supercommi

I agree that the republicans need to quit trying to save his hind end and let his great "ideas" (sequester/fiscal cliff)play themselves out and blame the mismanagement on who it belongs to. The *** driven minds of the demokrauts!!

Lets wait to hear from the people who wanted to save big bird. Do you want Big Bird and long lines at Airport Security? Which one can you do without?

If the sequester goes into effect, the federal budget for this year will still be larger than last year's ($3.553 trillion in 2013 vs. $3.538 trillion in 2012). With the sequester in effect, federal non-defense spending will still be 10 percent higher than it was in 2008.

Despite spending the summer making the rounds on the talk show circuit to promote Last Train To Paris, Diddy-Dirty Money's album appears to be be pushed back indefinitely. But is anyone really all that bothered? After listening to the slow-jam "Shades", featuring Justin Timberlake and Lil Wayne, who doesn't let a little thing like jail keep him from being featured on every other track to drop this summer—we're not sure we're too upset by an album delay. Listen below.
Diddy feat. Lil Wayne & Justin Timberlake – Shades
The track, which clocks at over five minutes, is about four and a half minutes too long. Lil Wayne opens it up with some awful gravel-voiced spoken word poetry ("she must be the one, when I look at her, I see the sun"), before Diddy slides in, singing that he would "do anything for you… I'll even take off my shades." Wow, what a gentlemen!
Worst of all, for some reason Diddy decided to have Justin Timberlake rap instead of giving him the hook to showcase his falsetto. That's a song fail right there, folks.
Diddy's far superior single, the sweet and melodic "Loving You No More" featuring Drake, hit iTunes today. Go pick that up instead of replaying this jumble of inconsistent beats.

Why Calorie Counts Are Wrong
The calorie calculations you see on the back of a food label are based on a system developed in the 1800s, one that doesn't take into account individual variables like the type of food, whether it is cooked or raw, or how it has been processed. And did you know that even the types of bacteria you have in your gut can affect how many calories you get from food? Scientific American explains why the calorie counts we rely on may not be so reliable after all.
This video is a simplified version of an article from September's food-themed issue, which explains that calorie counts are based on the average number of calories in one gram of fat, protein and carbohydrate, but these averages don't take into account the individual way every food is broken down in the body, or the effects of cooking and processing, which make foods easier to digest and thus higher in calories than raw or less processed foods.
Even more interesting — and complicated! — is the role that bacteria living in our intestines play in the way we metabolize food. Certain types of bacteria may make some people more efficient at breaking down foods, which may also mean that they get more calories than those without these strains of bacteria.
Of course, all of this means that there is no way to determine calorie counts that are truly accurate for large groups of people, but it does make another argument for the benefits of eating whole, unprocessed foods.
If you find this interesting, I highly recommend buying the September issue of Scientific American for many more fascinating food-related articles:

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing:)
Calorie count is not accurate. There is not doubt about it. In fact, the policy allows companies to have some leeway (+ and -) in their nutritional label, meaning the calorie in your label is legally allowed to be off by certain percentage.
That does not mean counting calorie is futile. In fact, counting calorie is one of the most effective ways to get a good idea of someone's diet. Let's say you ate 1600 calories. But you still don't lose weight. That means your body needs less than 1600 calories to lose weight. So you decrease your target calorie by 10%, in this case, 1440. Then, you continue that for a week. If you lose weight, that means you can continue with that target calorie until your fat loss stalls.
People should understand that they have to ADJUST ADJUST ADJUST the target calorie based on the result.There is no absolute, fixed number that you aim for. You have to tweak it always. That's how the bodybuilders have been doing for so long, and worked so well.

Announcements from the Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) F8 developer conference today in San Francisco (Wednesday) amplified the company's recent focus on mobile - and in particular efforts to monetize mobile.
Such a strategy is just what investors have wanted to see, and it will serve as a powerful catalyst for Facebook stock.
Just about the entire F8 conference is focused on mobile, with the three themes being "build, grow, and monetize."
A focus on mobile is what has turned Facebook around and gotten it past its rocky IPO. For FB investors, all is forgiven: the Facebook stock price is up 110% over the past 12 months.
The company's mobile efforts were also apparent in last week's stellar earnings report. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company reported revenue of $2.5 billion, a 72% increase in revenue from the same period a year ago, with mobile ads making up 59% of Facebook's total ad revenue. Net income was $642 million, handily beating expectations of $613 million.
But today's big announcement - a mobile ad network - will take Facebook's mobile strategy to a whole new level.
Called the Facebook Audience Network (FAN), it will harness the trove of personal data it has on its 1.28 billion members to help advertisers target audiences in mobile ads outside of Facebook.
This is great for Facebook for several reasons. For one thing, FAN will not put any more ads in the feeds of Facebook users, already a bone of contention. The ads will appear in other apps.
It also means that revenue from FAN will be in addition to the ads it shows on its own site, which is why it figures to boost Facebook stock.
Facebook started experimenting with a mobile ad network back in 2012, but it used existing ad networks with which Facebook had to share revenue.
The margins on that system were too thin, however. So in late 2013 Facebook decided to build its own mobile ad network that dealt directly with the advertisers and publishers of the apps that host the ads, ensuring FB could keep more revenue for itself.
FAN has tremendous potential to fatten Facebook's earnings over time. It's a product advertisers are bound to love; all that personal information stored on Facebook's servers will make the service extremely effective.
Let's take a closer look at how this potential will help FB stock...
How FAN Will Boost Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) Stock
Facebook is making its big move into the mobile ad market at just the right time.
Mobile advertising revenue in the United States alone more than doubled from $4.36 billion in 2012 to $9.6 billion in 2013, according to eMarketer.com. It is expected to rise to $14.97 billion this year and rise to $35.62 billion by 2017, when it will surpass desktop ad revenue.
And while Facebook won't be alone - Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) announced its own mobile ad network last week - it has some of the best data out there. In time, FAN could even challenge Google Inc.'s (Nasdaq: GOOG, GOOGL) AdMob network.
"[Mobile ad networks] are already feeling that pinch," eMarketer analyst Cathy Boyle told Digiday,pointing to the data power of the social networks. "The whole mobile ad pool is getting bigger, but in terms of share, [networks are] going to have more trouble getting a piece."
Boyle said she sees the mobile ad market of the future as a three-horse race between Google, Facebook, and Twitter, with other networks fighting over the scraps.
That means Facebook will end up with a hefty chunk of what in a few years will be a $35 billion a year market. A 25% market share would haul more than $2.1 billion in revenue per quarter, just a bit less than the total revenue Facebook reported last week.
Imagine what that could do for Facebook stock.
And that doesn't factor in the impact of Facebook's other business strategies, particularly its recent string of high-profile acquisitions.
"The key here is that Facebook has clearly figured out the mobile strategy thing. It's an ad-revenue-generating juggernaut," Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani said. "It's only going to grow its own 'ecosystem' and start generating a lot of cash. The future is bright, very bright for Facebook. Longer term, I think this is a big one."
Do you think Facebook has proven its ability to earn profits? What do you think of its mobile ad strategy? Let us know on Twitter @moneymorning or Facebook.
Facebook is moving rapidly on several fronts. Another big part of the company's strategy is mobile payments. Here's why Facebook is moving into e-money...

Next to the standard Brivido , Italdesign-Giugiaro has also unveiled a racing version for the concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. This concept was developed in cooperation with Martini Racing and was built as a competitor for the usual GT racing series.
The car is distinguished by the typical GT racing features: miniskirts, bumpers and bonnet redesigned so to enhance aerodynamics and two big spoilers granting stability. The front has also received a sharper nose full of splitters and of course that there has been installed another set of rims. And if you also add that cool white paint combined with blue-red racing stripes you obtain the perfect racing car. Too bad it won't actually be raced, but for an exercise it looks very good.
Giugiaro said nothing about the powertrain of this racing car, but most likely it will be identical to the standard Brivido: a 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers a total of 360 HP and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
UPDATE 12/03/12: The Italdesign Brivido Martini Racing was on-hand at the 2012 Essen Show showcasing its iconic color scheme. To coincide with the car gracing Essen, a batch of photos of the supercar has been added to the gallery! Check it out!

The American taxpayer underwrites the existence of every Israeli citizen to the tune of $3 billion a year in subsidies—over the past ten years, that's $200,000 per every Israeli family of five. Things are very good indeed for Israelis, as long as they're not Arabs; far better, in material terms, than they are for the majority of Americans. What are we getting for our investment? Obviously, we haven't bought a wonderful democracy in the theocratic desert of the Middle East, but another fascist enclave of masters and servants that happens to be run by Jews.

NBAA Supports ATC Modernization
NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen recently told members of the House subcommittee on aviation that general aviation "remains steadfast in its support of modernization of the nation's ATC system." Bolen–who also serves as chairman of the RTCA, an organization that provides consensus-based aviation policy guidance–testified in support of the recommendations included in a recent report from the RTCA's NextGen Mid-Term Implementation Task Force. He noted that NBAA members have long been committed to system transformation by being early adopters of GPS and supporting the transition to RVSM in 2005, among others. Additionally, Bolen said the RTCA's recommendations would help accelerate the transition to NextGen by streamlining the operations approval process and establishing effective government-industry collaboration.

ARLINGTON, TX - AUGUST 21: Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones talks with linebacker DeMarcus Ware #94 prior to the Cowboys taking the field against the Tennessee Titans during a preseason game at Cowboys Stadium on August 21, 2009 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)
DeMarcus Ware isn't worried about a stress fracture in his left foot.
Per the Dallas Morning News' Todd Archer, Ware said that he felt good, and didn't expect the injury to affect him this Sunday, as the 4-1 Falcons come to Big D for an afternoon showdown with the 'Boys at JerryWorld.
"I've been playing with it for three weeks and been doing good," Ware said on Thursday. "I've been practicing, doing what I needed to do and it's not been hindering me."
In actuality, Ware is probably playing better with the stress fracture than he was without; the three-time All Pro linebacker recorded his first two sacks in Kansas City in week 5, ending the longest sack drought of his career since his rookie season. According to Archer, Ware believes he'll be at full health in a couple of weeks.
So there you have it. DeMarcus Ware is tough. And still awesome.
*RB Felix Jones practiced today wearing a knee brace. His status for Sunday remains uncertain.
*S Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb), speaking to reporters, remained optimistic that he'll play Sunday. He is practicing today with a cast.
*RT Leonard Davis has a broken thumb, but is not expected to miss any time. He is practicing today.
*Falcons RB Jerious Norwood has all but ruled himself out for Sunday.

More Praise for Grow Your Business FAST from Business Owners
"AWESOME – I tell you Grow Your Business FAST has fired me up all over again about the truth of the matters of business, clients and life.
There is so much in there — in addition to the amazing business wisdom, fabulous and devastatingly simple copywriting tips, it's got so much life assistance and mindset improving information I reckon it should be called Grow Your Business (and Sort your life out!) FAST.
Already an addict of the EBG style, I love the fact that it doesn't sugar coat a single thing – and that it speaks to the reader as an adult. I also love the fact that this is NOT a 'done for you' solution builder but a 'do it yourself – and here's how' solution builder. That said, you were a lot tamer than usual!
The one thing that jumps out at me is how simple you have made growing a business — this allows the reader to really focus their efforts on implementation – as what you have written is so easily understood.
I think it's a great place to start for a new business owner — as it's all in there and (not that I'm accusing you of plagiarism) it lends from and simplifies enduring principles from some of the greats, which will make it a must have guide for Business Owners who refuse mediocre.
It's structured in a logical way which really helps a business owner to build on the principles step by step."
Olayinka Ewuola
"For the small business owner Grow Your Business FAST is a must have 'how to run a business' manual. People get manuals for car repair (Haynes) and for DIY (Readers Digest) generally giving them tips on how to save money.GYBF helps them make money but just as important how not to waste money on pointless advertising and marketing (by giving them examples). Most business books are based on theory but this is a hands on in the trenches book.And it is not a book for dummies but a serious attempt to show people how to run their business.
It is for start ups and more established businesses who may be struggling. Also great tips on how a business owner can grow and develop as a person (so not just about growing the business).
Key points for me were:
- Easy to read and to follow the flow of the book.
- Balanced opinion throughout the book. Jon tells you about the importance of testing and not just taking his word as gospel.
- Explains the myths and misconceptions out there which are probably in the mind of the business owner.
- Pointing out the pitfalls and how to overcome them (with examples).
- Focusing on the important numbers… ROI and lifetime value of a client.
- Dangers of Social Media… not to disregard it but to be aware it will not solve all their problems (balanced opinion).
- Minute details… even down to the font type and the line length of adverts and sales letters making them easier to read for the end user.
I have been a following Jon's work for years so much of what he says I am familiar with.
However the book highlighted a lot of stuff I know but am not implementing… a kick in the backside for me!!
Grow Your Business FAST will be my 'go to book' in growing my and my clients' businesses.
Robert Cartoon,
Cartoon Coaching and Consultancy,
"This book is one of the best I have read in a long time. Written with expert knowledge on a subject that many business people think they know but nearly always get it wrong.The character of the writer flows off the pages.
It is written with honesty, integrity, wit and a down to earth, no bull attitude, putting the real facts of business life on the table for all to see.I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to get a better understanding of the whole concept of marketing and its key function in business.
It is a must to any small business looking for a key insight into the world of marketing. I will be recommending it to all my clients and may even use this as a free book to every new client.I could mention 5 or 6 elements from my first read of this book, but I have to start with ROI (return on investment), this alone is the key to me building my business. I know how long we retain our clients and that could be worth over £50,000. Its time for me to find some an impressive 'attention grabbers'."
David Taylor, Sheridan Accounting Solutions Limited
"I am a very keen and capable golfer but I didn't get to that standard without some very good coaching from the pro at my club.
If you are looking to start out in business, or grow your business, then doing so without the help of this book would be just like turning up at the first tee with all your new golf gear, having never had a lesson in your life, and expecting to shoot below par (in golf below par actually means you are very good).Get Grow Your Business FAST if you want to get good at running your own business as Jon is a complete pro and will show you exactly how to avoid the hazards and keep the ball bang in the middle of the fairway.
Aarif Merali, d2rCrossmedia,
"If you've previously trusted graphic designers, web designers, or the art department of newspapers and magazines to produce your advertising, and you're frequently disappointed with the results, this book will blow your mind!
Jon McCulloch gives you a complete overview of the kind of people you need (not want) to be selling to, how to craft a marketing message that appeals directly to those people, and how to choose the most effective media to deliver your message.Jon's strategy for using email is probably the quickest, easiest, and most profitable thing you could ever do for your business, and I would happily bet none of your competitors are using this method.
Entering into the world of direct-response marketing is like going on a journey. And if you follow the steps laid out in Grow Your Business FAST, you'll probably look back on this day in the future and think to yourself 'That was the day everything changed…'."
Andrew Gardner
"What a great read. Grow Your Business FAST drove home a simple but very crucial message for our vintage bike business: all customers are not equal.
We absolutely must stop trying to be all things to all customers and concentrate our efforts on the 20 % of clients who account for 80 % of the sales.Of course I knew this already, intellectually, and had started to do something about it by compiling a Best Customers list made up of the 20% of top spenders each month. But I haven't targeted the list in any way and consequently haven't yet reaped the rewards.
A quick check of figures proves Jon's point: we have over 5,000 clients on our database yet the combined annual spend of the 250 clients on the Best Customer List represents 70 % of our total annual turnover.
I'm flabbergasted. And very determined to find ways to a) deter small spenders and time-wasters and b) improve rapport and services with our best customers initially via a new monthly printed newsletter. This must be the key to success.
Thank you indeed, Jon, for such valuable insights."
Lorraine Harris, Classic Motos France,
"This is the first book I have ever read that grabs you by the throat and makes you understand how, without vigorous, intelligent marketing, anyone running a micro or SME business is wasting his or her time.
The Evil Bald Genius does not do pussyfooting: be warned.Unlike the thousands of mealy-mouthed marketing authors in the past who try to sell you half-assed marketing 'solutions', The EBG shoves his methods right in your face and makes you see how they'll work for you.
And he has hundreds of stonking success stories to prove that they work. Grow Your Business FAST is not for the faint-hearted, but if you're faint-hearted, you won't go far in business anyway.
This book is a brilliant piece of prose that will turn you into an evil genius of a marketer, too."
Suzan St Maur, Online business writer and best-selling author
"This book comes with a big promise — and it's a promise fulfilled. Packed with tested strategies, Grow Your Business FAST tells you in plain language how to get more leads, produce more sales and make more money.
And in business, that's really all that matters.Its easy-to-read style means you can whip through the whole book in a day or two, though putting just 20% of the strategies to work is probably enough to revolutionise any small business — and very quickly at that."
Steve Prescott,
"In an era of clueless Social Media experts spouting endless nonsense like 'brand awareness' and 'engagement', Jon's Grow Your Business FAST lifts the lid on what really works and gives specific advice as to how any small business can ramp up their profits within a short period of time.
It's an unfortunate fact that most businesses have been lied to by everyone from newspapers trying to flog them advertising space to these aforementioned 'Social Media' experts. For most SME owners this has led to almost a morbid fear of marketing, coming to think of it as something of a black art, something that they just aren't supposed to figure out.
I should know, I used to be one of these people.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Instead, by learning how to concentrate your efforts on the fundamentals of marketing and developing strategies like Premium Pricing that attract a better class of higher paying customer, your business can begin to turn itself around and grow like you've never imagined.
One word of warning though, Jon's advice is often quite brutal and unforgiving, but rest assured you're always getting the gods honest truth. When there's money on the line, that's the way it should be."
Keith Commins,
"GYBF is the essential guide to small business marketing. Jon takes you through all the vital steps you must know as a small business owner to be able to do effective marketing which works — and which your competitors never will understand.One particular section of the book which simply is excellent, and will shake the world for most business owners, is the part about the deadliness of low prices.
Jon brilliantly explains why competing on price will lead to a slow, painful death for your business — and gives you the strategies and step-by-step guides you need to build a solid business where you no longer have to struggle with competing on low price and getting tiny profits.
I wholeheartedly recommend you read this book today, as every day going by without you taking action is a day you'll lose money."
Vegard Svanberg, Monsternett AS (in Halden, Norway)
"The Good: it reads easy and flows well.The bad: it kicks you in the nuts immediately by giving you some straight to the point facts, take it or leave it. (I hope anyone that's my competition would leave it!).
The ugly: you realise if you want to get ahead, you simply got to get off your arse and start doing some of this stuff.I have to say Grow Your Business FAST is a brilliant book and I'll be using it as a business reminder manual as well as a blueprint to remind me of the stuff that I'm sure I'll miss trying to setup or grow my business.I genuinely hope my competition do not get hold of a copy of this book."
Ed Farshi,
"Timing is everything, last night I was away from home on business, sat in a hotel not much to do, so I started to read, and read, and read. I think I started about 9.00pm and fell asleep still reading about 2.30am.What a read!
I'm sure this was his intention but reading Grow Your Business FAST is just like sitting talking to Jon over a pint. It flows, the arguments make sense, and even when your mind questions things Jon seems to answer these as well. There are so many nuggets in there that need to be referred to over and over again.
One thing I am going to do, (tonight probably) is go through it all again and write down bullet points from it, reminders if you like, which I know will keep me going.
What I found most helpful was although a lot of the subject matter was known to me, I found when I was honest with myself, that I was only going part of the way — 60, 70% is not good enough, and already I have identified ways I can make my business better. After all I am not in the Licensing Business, I am in the business of marketing my Licensing Services.
Now the hard work begins. I am going to take 5 ideas at a time, perfect them, then move on to the next 5 and so on. Number 1 is undoubtedly to create a set of rules for myself. Easy to ignore when you work for yourself on your own."
Stewart Gibson,
Liquor Licence Specialist,
"Right from the get go there's no time wasted on warming you up and it jumps right into the action steps (a style I personally enjoy). I hate chit-chat. I wish someone had written something like this a few years ago. There is no hype and it's a complete no-nonsense approach with a step-by-step guide — like a paint by numbers blueprint, albeit with very straightforward advice which is typical of Jon's style:
- Several things guaranteed to not make you any money.
- The hardest, most time-consuming and expensive (and least profitable) thing all businesses tend to do in their marketing first and how to avoid it and increase your ROI dramatically.
- The 4 Simple Keys that make any marketing message extremely effective (and even irresistible).
And a lot more before you even touch page 40. The section of polarizing your audience is best explained by Jon who does it quite a bit himself. Then you move on to other topics like Premier Positioning including
- What is so attractive about a 'Rolls Royce'?
- How you can increase your profits by 39% or more by making this simple tweak to your prices.
- The MOST effective marketing vehicle with perhaps the best ROI and why your competition isn't using it.
And there's a lot more such as how to get your ad prices as cheap as you possible, how to get it all done — even if you take baby steps, and there's an appendix which could have been the topic for another book — How to write a profitable ad or sales letter. This belongs on the desk of every business owner (and more important, in their heads after they've read it).

Power and Network Infrastructure Redundancy at Colocation Facilities
One of the biggest advantages of third-party colocation is the amount of redundancy that it provides. Typically, the entire infrastructure of these colocation facilities is built around the concept of redundancy.
An infrastructure is deemed to be redundant if it continues to function even when individual units fail to work as they should. To do this with power, colocation facilities will deploy backup generators and UPS units. The power load within the facility is calculated and is used to determine the number of backup generators required. The generators are setup according to a specific format. While running on backup power if one or more of the units fail to work the others balance the load amongst themselves. Most importantly, the backup generators keep power running at all times.
Redundancy in Network Infrastructure
Colocation facilities provide bandwidth that is shared amongst a number of clients. These facilities make a large amount of bandwidth available to clients. However, colocation facilities also make use of redundancy to ensure that servers remain online under all circumstances. Network downtime is a huge problem for colocation clients, as it can affect its daily operations.
Multiple Carrier Facilities
There are some facilities that offer only a single bandwidth carrier. Although this can be cheaper for the colocation provider, it can lead to unreliability. For instance, if there is an issue with the carrier, its entire network is affected. Thus, the network infrastructure of the colocation facility can be rendered useless.
Multiple carrier facilities are those that obtain network connectivity from a number of different carriers. The bandwidth sources are interlinked with each other. Therefore, this not only augments dependability of network connectivity but also enhances the speed of the connection being provided.
Moreover, multiple carrier facilities also provide more options to clients. A company has the opportunity to select a carrier that is best suited its specific requirements. It is also more preferable in terms of cost. Companies can choose the sort of bandwidth charges that they want to incur.
These are great benefits of multiple carriers. However, redundancy is the factor that plays a key role. If a particular carrier goes offline, the others can manage the load. Therefore, servers remain online all the time. Redundancy also allows colocation facilities to deal with technological malfunctions more efficiently. One network carrier can go offline for an entire day, but the servers of every company will continue to function without any problems.
For firms, it is absolutely necessary for them to be able to constantly access their servers. Businesses backup their data continuously in real time. In addition, if they engage in ecommerce, their servers are constantly needed for operation. Any server downtime can, therefore, be quite costly for companies. Facilities that provide multiple carriers ensure that this does not happen.
More and more colocation facilities are now moving towards multiple carrier features. Clients flock towards those facilities that provide more options. Therefore, colocation facilities are able to ensure both reliability and flexibility with multiple carrier features.
When choosing a particular colocation partner, it is best to go for multiple carrier facilities that also offer redundant power supply.
Bob writes articles about colocation and data centers in the Austin area. He believes Houston Colocation is a wise choice for many businesses. Lee believes companies should always think about customizable solutions that are tailored to meet their needs. The Austin Data Center he recommends can be found at http://www.datafoundry.com

Around the Corner0 Reviews
Willow and Oz meet again in Istanbul. set three years after Buffy S.7. Based on willow and Oz's goodby talk in 'New Moon Rising'.
It's not my best story, but it's something I've wanted to write for a while. I'm hoping to revamp it soon.
"It was stupid of me to think you'd just be waiting."
"I was waiting. I feel like some part of me will always be waiting for you. Like, if I'm old and blue-haired and I turn the corner in Istanbul and there you are- I won't be surprised. Because you're with me- you know?"
Willow walked down the busy streets Istanbul. On both sides of her there were throngs of people; selling goods, talking to their friends. Making their way home, just living. She still couldn't believe how much things had changed. For ten years- since she was sixteen, she had been fighting. She hadn't had it forced on her, like Buffy had; she had chosen it. And now, she was done.
The council was up and running, Giles seated firmly at it's head, the Slayers were found and now fighting, any Hellmouths were guarded, and Willow now could rest. She had moved to Istanbul, as far away from the supernatural as possible. It was strange, not having to worry about all of the impending doom anymore. Thanks to the coven and a few choice psychics, courtesy of Angel, there were other people to turn to for things of the magic-y variety. They could reach her of they needed her, but for now, the only thing she had to worry about was herself. It was supposed to be nice, but now she had nothing, no use. She hated that, but things weren't the same anymore, there was nothing to go back to.
Willow kept walking, almost home. She turned the corner to her apartment, and there he was.
They stood, staring at each other for a few moments. Willow smiled tremulously.
"Well, maybe I was a little wrong to say I wouldn't be surprised." She joked nervously. Oz smiled a little, remembering.
"I gotta say, it's easier thins way. I don't know if you'd look the same with blue hair." Willow hesitantly reached out to hug him, feeling a little awkward. That feeling disappeared the moment their arms were around each other. He was still Oz. He still felt the same, felt /right/. If she could've seen the look of contentment on his face, something he hadn't felt since leaving her all those years ago, she would have seen he felt the same.
They pulled apart, their arms still entwined. Willow looked at him in awe.
"W-what are you doing here? What've you been up to>? How are you?" She asked quickly, her questions running together. Oz gave her one of his Oz-y looks and answered.
"I've been pretty good. Traveling a lot. I'm actually just passing through here. I come my once or twice a year, just to visit. I've been spending most of my time teaching other werewolves, helping them control the wolf and all that. How've you been?"
Willow looked at him, her eyebrows almost touching her hair.
"Apparently, you dropped the stoicism somewhere along the way. That was like, almost fifty words or something, all at the same time." Oz smiled at her.
"Well, it turns out that when you're teaching a bunch of people, you sometimes have to talk to them. I've become quite a chatterbox." Willow laughed at the thought.
"So how's Sunnydale? You still there?" He asked, hoping for news about his old home. Willow looked at him sadly.
"We need to talk. I live right up this road, it you wanna come up. I'll make some tea, tell you all the news-"
"Willow, what's wrong?" Oz asked worriedly, stepping closer to her.
"It's gone."
Oz sat in his chair, stunned. He set his sup on the coffee table between him and Willow. She had just spent the last two hours filling him in on everything that had happened -from the time he left up to the destruction of Sunnydale- and she still had so mush more to say.
"So, you really mean gone, huh? I guess this is what I get for not watching the news." He finally said.
"Are you okay? I know it's a lot to take in at once." Willow asked him. Oz nodded.
"I'm good. How 'bout you? Trying to destroy the world, Buffy dying, Tara, This Kennedy chick breaking up with you; it's a lot." She shrugged.
" I'm fine. No more dead Buff. I still sometimes miss Tara, but I'm good now. And Kennedy... Kennedy was a mistake. But that's done too. Actually, our of all of us, I think it was hardest on Buffy."
"Really? Because of Spike?" Willow nodded.
"None of us really thought it was that serious, but it was. She loved him, maybe more that she loved Angel. When she lost him, she broke. It took a long time to get her back, but she got better. Them she heard he was alive, and then found out he had moved on... She kinda broke again. Now all she does is slay, train. She's not Buffy anymore."
This is still weird to me. Last I knew, Spike and Buffy hated each other; now they're old lovers who might actually be kicking the 'Eternal love of Buffy and Angel show' off the air? Weird. And who was the girl he's with now? She's not a Scooby, is she?" Willow shook her head.
"This is where things really get weird. She's part angel. Like, with the wings and the harp and coo with God kinda Angel, not the other Angel. Apparently, her dad was some kinda guardian Angel who fell in love with a human and before ya know it, there's a little Cherub in the world.
I can understand why he had to move on though. He didn't think she really loved him, and he didn't want to come back and ruin her new life. It's actually thoughtful."
"Hmm." Replied Oz, absorbed in thought. He tapped his fingers on the table.
"So, the reject angel falls in love with the soulful demon. It's kinda romantic, if you think about it. Blows 'West side Story' right out of the water."
"Huh, I guess it is. It'd make a good movie." Willow leaned forward on the couch and looked down at her hands.
"Um, Xander left too. He's somewhere in Africa, killing demons. He's been doing it since Anya died; he couldn't get over it."
"Poor guy. Strangely, I've missed him. Losing someone you love like he did, it changes you."
They both grew silent, aware of the topic now at hand. Willow cleared her throat.
"So, have you been seeing anyone? A ice shape shifter or a nymph, maybe?" she joked, half afraid of his answer. He stared at her intently, like he used to do.
"No, not since you. How bout you? You find a nice, normal girl anywhere?" Willow smiled nervously.
" No. I've dated some, but it never worked out. Besides, I've never done the normal thing. Um, so why haven't you dated? You travel too much, or haven't been looking, or-"
"I'm still in love with you."
Willow sat silent, staring at him. Oz stood up and walked over to the couch where she sat. She looked at him as he sat down next to her. Neither of them spoke for a few minutes.
" I know you've moved on. I know that I'm not what you're looking for anymore; you tend to lean towards people of the female variety now. But I needed to tell you. You're still the reason for everything." He looked down, not wanting to see her as she broke his heart again.
Willow touched his arm, not speaking for a moment. She closed her eyes, gathering herself, knowing now is the time to admit everything she hasn't wanted to believe. With a sight, she started speaking.
"Ever since you left me, I've been looking for you. I'd find different people who had parts of you in them, and I'd latch on, hoping they were what I needed. They never were, and I'd just end up hurting every time because they weren't Oz. Tara had your sweetness, and your understanding, but she was also Tara. I loved that. I loved her, but as a person, not a woman. I loved her soul. Like I love your." Oz looked up at her, wondering.
"Was that last sentence supposed to be in the present- tense like that?" He asked. Willow nodded.
"You're not the kind of guy a girl just forgets about. You stay with her, forever. And she stays in love with you, no matter what." Oz reached up and touched her face, her hair.
"Same you you. You're not someone you just stop loving. Once you fall, it lasts a lifetime." He murmured.
"But I thing I already said that."
Willow hadn't felt the same since he had left. Like a part of her was there, but another part, the better, happier part, had left with him.
But now, as he leaned forward and kissed her, his lips warm against her skin, finding her mouth; as she wrapped her arms around him and swore to never let go, she felt whole again.
-- The Spike/OC that's mentioned is explained later in a different story. It's an idea that I've had for a while and hopefully I'll be posting it later on. Don't hate me for it. --

26.07.08 - by James Slater: Exactly eighty years ago this very day, heavyweight champion of the world Gene Tunney boxed for the very last time. The fight also marked Tunney's second defence of the heavyweight championship. Having won the crown two summers previously by out-pointing the great Jack Dempsey over ten scheduled rounds, and then beating "The Manassa Mauler" for a second time in the legendary "Battle of The Long Count," Tunney had achieved all he'd wanted in boxing..
A great light-heavyweight, who had a series of fights at 175-pounds against Harry Greb - Greb being the only man to ever beat Tunney - Gene always had an eye on heavyweight ruler Dempsey. Studying the murderous punching heavyweight king for future purposes, Tunney always had it in his mind to face Dempsey one day. That day finally came in September of 1926 and, with Dempsey ready for the taking due to inactivity and age having taken their toll on him, "The Fighting Marine" executed the game-plan he'd been formulating for many years as he soundly thrashed the champion over the ten rounds by a unanimous decision.
Now heavyweight king, Tunney was no hero like the man he'd beaten. Thought of as something of a snob due to his taste in literature and his social company, among other things, Tunney was never a fighter the fans really warmed to. As such, he was booed during the rematch with Dempsey the following year. "They [the fans] are welcome to boo me," Tunney said. "But they have to pay for the privilege."
The fans in attendance at Soldiers Field in Chicago on September 22nd, 1927 almost got what they wanted. Decked heavily in round 7 by a ferocious Dempsey combination to the head, Tunney was down for over ten seconds - only to............... well, surely ALL boxing fans know what happened and how Tunney-Dempsey II got its famous nickname. Needless to say, the Pro-Dempsey crowd went home disappointed, Tunney with his title intact.
Now having seen off the great Dempsey once and for all (promoter Tex Rickard wanted a third meeting but Dempsey wisely declined), Tunney, a good business man, wanted a big payday before hanging up his gloves. He had also promised his wife Polly that he would retire. And so we come to the Tom Heeney fight that took place today in 1928 at Yankee Stadium, New York. Heeney, a decent fighter hailing from New Zealand who had held former champ Jack Sharkey to a draw just prior to meeting Tunney, had the benefit of having former king Dempsey in his corner for the bout. It didn't help him. Stopping his man in the 11th round, Tunney had pretty much everything his own way.
Indeed, the fight is most famous due to the fact that it lost its promoter a lot of money - to the tune of $200,000 to be exact. Tunney, ever astute, bagged his big pay day as planned. And then he kept his word to his wife and quit. For good. There would be no unhappy comeback necessitated by financial needs for this intelligent boxer - only a long and fruitful life. Becoming good friends with his former rival Dempsey, Gene, like Jack, lived well into old age.
Today recognised as a true boxing great, Tunney is a perfect example of a fighter adequately appreciated only well after his prime years had passed.
Tunney's final record, according to BoxRec.com, is an almost perfect 81-1-3(48). His one and only loss came at light-heavyweight, to Harry Greb - this loss being avenged some three times.

Tools for virtual computing in Linux
Once you could only choose one operating system. Then you could choose more, but you had to reboot. In today's world, users prefer their heterogeneity to come in a single package. Why not run Windows applications in Linux? Why not implement a full version of Windows, or Mac OS X, or Linux, inside of a Linux host? Developers like virtual systems because an unfinished application can break the virtual PC without bringing down the host. System administrators use virtual systems to test kernel versions or to experiment with network configurations. Users just want to run their favorite application in their favorite operating system. In this month's Virtual Systems cover story, we'll help you get started with virtual computing in Linux

Stimulate the Beast
Paul Krugman has finally gotten around to answering a question I've been asking for a long time. Unfortunately—and weirdly—his answer is rooted in a mistaken Republican theory of politics.
The question is this: Why Krugman hasn't pushed for fiscal stimulus in the form of tax cuts? Krugman's done a lot of excellent work beating back the deficit scolds. He obviously believes that the economy would perform better if we ran a bigger fiscal deficit but he's always stopped short of supporting the only politically viable path to deficit expansion: tax cuts.
As both Cullen Roche and I pointed out back in 2011, Republicans would be willing to accept higher deficits if they are the result of tax cuts rather than spending increases. They might even be willing to accept spending increases in exchange for tax cuts. In fact, that kind of "grand bargain" is what Republicans have agreed to a number of times in the not so distant past.
Both Cullen and I were hopeful that Krugman would actually be able to change the terms of the budget debate by supporting tax cuts. But he never did.
Over at the New Republic, Ryan Cooper recently revived this argument:
So if the center, especially including President Obama, can be persuaded to drop their deficit obsession (and again, it's hardly possible to overstate how badly this debate has been lost), we could trade tax cuts for some austerity relief, like re-extending unemployment benefits and food stamps. And, it's important to note, both spending increases and tax cuts count as austerity relief. Tax cuts, especially on the rich, aren't very good stimulus, but they still put money into people's pockets.
But the main point is to shift ground for negotiation. This strategy of "tax cuts for more spending" has been suggested many times in the past few years and gone nowhere. But before that, it had been the basis for many successful bipartisan deals, including expanding Medicaid in the 1980s and the CHIP program in the 1990s.
Krugman's response explains why he never came around to supporting tax cuts:
I don't buy it, basically because I believe you need to play the political economy long game. Starve the beast is still out there as a strategy; conservatives still push tax cuts in part because they expect, probably rightly, that this will tilt the balance toward cuts in the safety net the next time the deficit becomes a big issue. Don't you think federal spending would be significantly higher now if the Bush tax cuts had never been passed?
Krugman's right that a lot of conservatives still believe in the "starve the beast" strategy. But he's wrong when he says that it's "probably right." It's probably wrong.
As I explained a couple of years ago, the history of taxes and spending suggests that government is a beast that doesn't starve.
Falling revenues are typically accompanied by rising spending; while rising revenues are accompanied by falling spending. In other words, the "beast" of government spending doesn't require a meal of taxes to grow. It thrives, in fact, on a starvation diet. Government is a hunger artist.
This point was made back in 2004 in a Brookings Institute paper by Peter Orszag and William Gale.
"The 'starve the beast' strategy may simply not work as a political equilibrium. We have in mind that policy-makers jointly go through periods of fiscal restraint and fiscal largesse, and the restraint or largesse occurs simultaneously on both the tax and spending sides. That is, periods of fiscal largesse tend to generate declines in taxes and increases in spending (as shares of gross domestic product). Periods of fiscal discipline tend to provide declines in spending and increases in taxes."
The Cato Institute's William Niskanen pointed out that the starve-the-beast theory was wrong in a paper published in 2002. I can't find a link to that paper at the moment, but Niskanen described his findings in this 2004 Cato report:
In a professional paper published in 2002, I presented evidence that the relative level of federal spending over the period 1981 through 2000 was coincident with the relative level of the federal tax burden in the opposite direction; in other words, there was a strong negative relation between the relative level of federal spending and tax revenues. Controlling for the unemployment rate, federal spending increased by about one-half percent of GDP for each one percentage point decline in the relative level of federal tax revenues.
In 2006, both Jonathan Rauch and Jonathan Chait wrote about Niskanen's findings (although Chait's article has vanished from the internet) and set off a pretty big debate. National Review responded here, Greg Mankiw here, Mark Thoma here, Brad DeLong here, and Ramesh Ponnuru here.
While Niskanen's idea was pretty controversial when it was first put forth, it appears to have withstood the test of time. Last year, it received a revival of sorts when it was positively cited by Bruce Bartlett in the New York Times and Andrew Ferguson in the Weekly Standard.
I assume Krugman is aware of the Niskanen and Orszag papers, although I haven't been able to find any direct evidence he's read them. If he has, it would be great for him to explain why he isn't persuaded by them.
There's a lot at stake here. If the "starve the beast" theory is wrong, there's no reason why Democrats and progressives shouldn't join Republicans and conservatives in crafting a tax-cut based stimulus package. And it's truly weird to imagine that what might be preventing the progressives from pushing for a job-creating stimulus package is a myth created by Republicans.
