KOA's O'Rourke Takes Top Operations Role
January 5, 2016 by Woodall's Campground Management · Comments Off on KOA's O'Rourke Takes Top Operations Role
Kampgrounds of America (KOA) Inc.'s Senior Vice President of Marketing Toby O'Rourke has been promoted to the new role of chief franchise operations officer for KOA.
In her new role, O'Rourke will take responsibility for both KOA's brand marketing and its franchise operations, President and CEO Pat Hittmeier said, and will have oversight over all KOA departments except finance and KOA's Company Owned Properties Division.
"Choosing the next leader of KOA's franchise enterprise is one of the most important contributions I can make," Hittmeier said of his decision to promote O'Rourke to her new role. "I considered a host of qualities necessary to make the largest positive impact on our business and our future. I wanted this key individual to have a future perspective, always be seeking new knowledge, be respected, be unselfish and be a good judge of human nature."
Hittmeier said it was important he find someone who understood the importance of balancing the needs of KOA franchisees, campers and the company.
"I have confidence that Toby O'Rourke has all of the qualities I was looking for," he said. "In her time with KOA, she has reshaped our brand image, become the 'go-to' person for our staff, introduced valuable new processes and has become well respected by our franchisees."
He said O'Rourke is also recognized as a marketing leader in the camping and recreation industries.
O'Rourke first came to KOA in 2011 as director of digital marketing.
Prior to KOA, she was the digital marketing manager for Whitewave Foods in Broomfield, Colo. She also served as the assistant brand manager for Silk Soymilk while at Whitewave Foods and also for the Hillshire Farm brand for the Sara Lee Corp. in Downers Grove, Ill.
Prior to her marketing career, O'Rourke gained experience in software development and management consulting.
O'Rourke has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Business Administration degree from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Her promotion is the second major announcement from KOA in a week, after longtime CEO and Chairman Jim Rogers stepped down — though retaining a seat on the board — and Hittmeier assumed the title of CEO.
KOA Announces Leadership Change
December 30, 2015 by Woodall's Campground Management · Comments Off on KOA Announces Leadership Change
After 15 years at the helm of Kampgrounds of America Inc., Jim Rogers will be stepping down as KOA's chairman and CEO.
KOA President Pat Hittmeier has been promoted to the role of president and CEO, effective Jan. 1.
"In Jim's tenure, he has transitioned KOA into a dynamic and progressive company and built a foundation of customer service that has elevated KOA to a premier position in the camping marketplace," said Oscar Tang, chairman of KOA's parent company, KOAH Inc. "His ebullient personality and organizational strategy have built a corporate culture that will be to KOA's benefit for many years."
Rogers will continue to serve as a member of the board of directors of KOAH Inc. and will consult on special projects for KOA.
Hittmeier will also serve on the board of KOAH Inc.
Rogers also serves as a member of the KOA Care Camps Trust board of directors. The KOA Care Camps Trust raises funds to support more than 100 specialized summer camps throughout North America for children with cancer.
Rogers came to KOA in 2000 as the new president and CEO after a long career with Harrah's Entertainment Inc. in Nevada. He rose to the rank of senior vice president and general manager of Harrah's Reno. He had previously worked for KOA for two years in the early 1970s.
Hittmeier has had a 34-year career at KOA that has seen him in leadership roles in several key KOA departments. Early in his KOA career, he worked in KOA's Company Owned Properties Division, and later was in the field, involved in the construction of several new KOA properties.
He's also served as the leader of KOA's Franchisee Services Department, a complex operation that provides education and support services to Kampgrounds of America's 490 locations throughout North America.
Hittmeier was also the vice president of the KOA System Development Division. He was named chief operating officer of KOA Inc. in 2009 and was promoted to president in 2010.
"Pat has done an outstanding job as KOA's president, leading the company to achieve record financial and quality results for the past five years," Tang said. "Pat's many years of experience and success will ensure a seamless succession for KOA staff and its franchise system as he takes on his new position as chief executive at KOA."

Campers may already be planning a final camping trip this fall, but one lucky Kampgrounds of America (KOA) camper will be making that trip in a brand new Airstream travel trailer, according to an announcement from KOA Inc.
KOA and Airstream — two of the most iconic names in camping — have partnered for the 2015 "What's Behind The Sign?" giveaway.
The grand-prize winner will receive a new 2015 Airstream 16-foot Sport travel trailer, along with a $100 KOA gift card.

The contest is open to residents of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and all Canadian provinces, except Quebec.
KOA's Memorial Day Reservations Strong
May 22, 2015 by Justin Leighty · Comments Off on KOA's Memorial Day Reservations Strong
Camping reservations for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend are running strong at Kampgrounds of America (KOA) campgrounds throughout North America.
Advanced reservations for the holiday weekend are up more than 8% over the same time last year at the 486 locations in the KOA system in North America.
The Memorial Day results are the latest indicator of another strong year of summer-season camping at KOA, according to an announcement from KOA Inc.
"Our short-term camper nights are running almost 12% higher than at this point last year," said KOA President Pat Hittmeier.
"All indicators," he continued, "are that this trend will continue as more and more campers discover what we have waiting for them behind our yellow sign."
KOA Care Camps Big Weekend Numbers Up
Camper nights for KOA's Care Camps Big Weekend May 8-9 were up 5.2% over last year. That event serves as the major fundraiser for KOA Care Camps, a nonprofit organization that supports a network of more than 100 summer camps for children battling cancer. In 2014, the charity raised a total of more than $1 million from all sources to support KOA Care Camps.
This year, campers who stayed as paying guests at a participating KOA Campground on Friday, May 8 received a night of camping on Saturday, May 9 for just $10. That entire Saturday camping fee went to benefit KOA Care Camps, and $110,000 was raised in just a single day.
Father's Day Weekend Reservations Skyrocket
Advanced reservations for camper nights for the June 19-21 Father's Day Weekend are currently running nearly 38% higher than the numbers from this time last year, and 4th of July Weekend camper night reservations are nearly 17% over 2014 figures.
KOA is celebrating its 53rd Anniversary in 2015. KOA, the world's largest network of family-friendly campgrounds, was born on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Mont., in 1962. For more information, go to www.KOA.com.
Rogers Talks To Calif. Entrepreneurs Group
May 7, 2015 by Justin Leighty · Comments Off on Rogers Talks To Calif. Entrepreneurs Group
For years, franchisees of Kampgrounds of America (KOA) touted their sites as the best in America — until a survey of campers found out otherwise, recalled Jim Rogers, chief executive officer of the world's largest organization of privately held campgrounds.
The San Luis Obispo (Calif.) Tribune reported that Rogers addressed a group of about 30 students and budding business owners Wednesday (May 6) at the SLO HotHouse, an initiative created by Cal Poly, the San Luis Obispo Community, and the Cal Poly Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Rogers spoke about his decision to seek customer feedback through a thorough analysis and how that led to specific improvements such as replacing the front desk clerk, repairing infrastructure or adding visitor-friendly amenities such as pools.
Several of the franchisees — who cater to RV travelers in addition to recreational campers — had to take a close look at their businesses, he said, such as replacing a family member at the front desk or adding a pool or deluxe cabin.
The company also improved customer satisfaction by increasing interaction between customers and KOA sites' owners.
The owners who made a point to engage with more campers at their sites showed improved ratings for customer service.
"What we've discovered through studies is that people remember and appreciate meeting the owner, and they want to come back after they do," Rogers said.
The executive with a background in the hotel and casino industry said he'd make trips to KOA campground sites and talked with franchisees who proclaimed their site was the best KOA in America.
"Everywhere I'd go, they'd say, 'We're the best in America,'" Rogers said. "I'd ask them, 'Well, how do you know that?"
Rogers said the company decided to use a system that asked customers to give an evaluation and score of their experience, and the result was a surprise for some franchisees.
"We had our convention in Las Vegas and told people where they ranked," Rogers said. "A lot of the people went into the bathroom and cried. They thought they were number one, and it turns out they're 236th."
Rogers said the ratings caused initial shock and some denial, but the subsequent upgrades to their sites — whether it was personnel or campground improvements — were valuable.
"It was one of the best things we could have done," Rogers said.

KOA Announces New Las Vegas Location
September 29, 2014 by Justin Leighty · Comments Off on KOA Announces New Las Vegas Location
Boyd Gaming Corporation and Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) today (Sept. 29) announced a long-term agreement that will make Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall the new home of the Las Vegas KOA.
Under terms of the lease agreement, KOA will assume operations of Sam's Town RV Park, one of the largest and most well-known RV parks in the Las Vegas Valley. Effective Wednesday, the park will be renamed the Las Vegas KOA at Sam's Town, and become KOA's exclusive home in Las Vegas.
"We are thrilled to welcome KOA to Sam's Town, and look forward to a successful and mutually beneficial partnership," said Steve Thompson, senior vice president of operations for Boyd Gaming's Nevada region. "KOA is a highly trusted, globally-recognized hospitality brand, hosting nearly one million households each year. By teaming up with KOA, we will significantly increase our national exposure, introducing millions of new customers from around the world to the Sam's Town brand."
The agreement returns KOA to Boulder Highway, where the company opened the first Las Vegas KOA in 1971. As one of the most popular destinations for RV enthusiasts in the country, Las Vegas has long been one of KOA's leading locations.
"KOA offers the best in outdoor hospitality, and we are interested in providing campers a premier place to stay in Las Vegas," said KOA President Pat Hittmeier. "Sam's Town is a beautiful facility with top-tier services run by a great group of people. The partnership is a winning combination."
With nearly 500 spaces across two parks, Las Vegas KOA at Sam's Town will offer both 30- and 50-amp full-hookup sites, spacious pull-through sites, and extended-stay opportunities. The park is fully landscaped, offering shade trees, grass and designated pet areas. Campground amenities include two pools with hot tubs, laundry and shower facilities, cable and Wi-Fi, and a communal barbecue area.
Opened in 1979, Sam's Town is one of the largest and most established gaming resorts on the Boulder Strip. In addition to a 133,000-square-foot casino, the property offers a wide array of unique amenities, including award-winning restaurants like Billy Bob's Steakhouse, Willy and Jose's Cantina and the Firelight Buffet; live entertainment nightly at Roxy's Lounge; an 18-screen movie theater; a 56-lane bowling center; Shepler's Western Store; and Mystic Falls Park, home of the Sunset Stampede Laser Light Show. The property also offers regular free shuttle service to the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas.

Camping Winding Down At Nev. KOA Site
September 23, 2014 by Justin Leighty · Comments Off on Camping Winding Down At Nev. KOA Site
Since MGM Resorts International decided to close the Kampgrounds of America (KOA) campground near Circus Circus and make it the City of Rock, campers have known their time was limited, television station KLAS reported.
MGM is making room for the Rock in Rio open-air venue; making it the end of an era for the 350-space campground that has sat north of Circus Circus for 35 years.
Guests staying at the campground say this KOA isn't your typical RV park.
"I like it very much because it's so close to the Strip and you can walk there. It's really great. I didn't expect it was possible to be so close," said Peter Ofner, visiting from Austria.
Beginning in May of 2015, all of that will change. The Rock in Rio USA festival is expected to host 300,000 people over two weekends in May.
Camper Becky Quigley, who is visiting from Nebraska, isn't sure where she will stay in the future.
The next closest RV park to the Strip is downtown.
KOA plans to make an announcement about the move of the campground soon, according to the campground's site on KOA.com.

A "Modern Industrial" Bedroom for an Adventure-Loving Boy
Project by: Dolley Frearson/High Fashion Home
Location: Houston, Texas
From the designer: The inspiration for this room came from a bedroom photo/vignette the family loved in one of our catalogs (High Fashion Home) that featured the Iggy Bed. The family wanted the decor be to industrial, earthy, fun/youthful and different...and be able to stand the test of time so their son could grow up with his furniture.
They could change out the bedding and accessories but keep the bones (main furniture pieces). He is a boy who loves all things "boy" especially planes and things that are mechanical/architectural and require assembly and building and even "taking things apart" according to his mom. She wanted good storage and a study desk in his bedroom. Our goal was to give his bedroom an earthy modern look. A space that would feel inspirational and adventurous. Vintage yet modern. Fun yet sophisticated.
The room was originally a traditional space with cream walls. One big challenge was selecting the perfect wall color. How do we create an earthy modern space that would not feel out of place in their more traditional classic home and decor. We wanted an airy light gray so we settled on Sherwin William's Mindful Grey - a light gray that is modern yet neutral and warm enough to flow with the rest of the home.
Since the baseboard in the rest of the house is very cream, we decided to paint the baseboard just in the bedroom a lighter ivory but left the original baseboard alone in the bathroom because it would be too costly and would not work with the counter top material and cabinetry. A trick of the trade is to just change the baseboards within the room and inside door and trim. It's actually a pretty good disguise and it's difficult to see if one has changed the baseboard color just in the bedroom.
Next, we selected functional nightstands and dressers. We then added fun planes for the wall decor above the dresser, metal/wood letters spelling out his name above his bed off centered for fun, easy no fuss bedding (he sleeps warm), a nice study book with our Climbing Men to inspire him to work hard and reach new heights (since homework starts in kindergarten these days), a bookcase to house and neatly organize his toys and favorite books, a cozy rug, casual drapes (to warm up the industrial feel and give height in the room) and a really fun world map "chalk" decal.
His family loves to travel and it seemed so clever and befitting on this rounded wall by his study nook to hang them on this wall. As he is lying in bed, he has this great view of the world map. What I love is how you can invest in timeless furniture pieces you love and make them work in a kids room. You don't have to buy "kids" furniture and then spend the money again to change it out later on. If you changed out his bedding and accessories, this room would definitely still work in his teen years and beyond.
Thanks, Dolley!

Hey everyone, so sorry for the long absence. I have still been reading your guys blogs, but I've been a combination of busy and lazy lately which is my reasoning for not posting. I am back though! I am working shorter hours this summer so I will have more time on my hands. I am excited for the break, but bummed about the less pay factor. Anyway, Here are some pictures to update you a little.
Breakfast of peanut butter and mango sandwich while tanning outside
There is a sushi place near my house, and they serve cucumbers in their water. It's good!
I don't remember the names of these sushi, but one had green soy paper wrapped around and other had sun dried tomato paper. Tastiness!
Dinner last night was a chick'n patty with a portobello mushroom cap bun.
This day I was craving a Guam dish, so I ended up modifying chicken keleguen and making tofu keleguen. This contained tofu, coconut, unrippened mango, lemon juice, green onion, thai peppers and salt. This is definitally not for everyone. I personally love it though. I eat it with Guam red rice!
Tofu scramble, fresh made salsa, plantains and pretzel bread
I went to the farmers market on Sunday and found these for my Sonic boy. They only had two vegan ones. Sonic is not vegan, but I try to either make or buy all his treats vegan.
I like this picture. He has such a funny look on his face!
My love :) Adios until next time!

BoatUS Tows Over 1800 Boats Over Holiday Weekend
Download hi-res photo.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 27, 2014 – The BoatUS 24-hour national dispatch centers received over 1800 requests for assistance from recreational boaters and anglers over the four-day (Friday-Monday) Memorial Day weekend. Great weather across the country is the main reason, says the nation's boat owners group. "When weather is good, boating traffic is up, which leads to higher numbers of routine requests for jump-starts, fuel-drop offs, or tows back to a launch ramp," said Vice President of BoatUS Towing Services Adam Wheeler. The 1800 number does not include requests made directly to any of BoatUS' individual 300 TowBoatUS or Vessel Assist locations, and follows an increasing trend that has grown about 20% over the last five years.

WILLIAM REES Professor, University of British Columbia, originator of the concept of the ecological footprint and author of Our Ecological Footprint, fellow of the Post Carbon Institute and the Royal Society of Canada.
Science and technology have advanced impressively over the past century but we have learned that often the benefits of new technology are accompanied by unexpected and deleterious consequences that we then attempt to solve using more technology with unpredictable effects. Thus, for example, we have altered the chemistry of the atmosphere with our use of fossil fuels and now hope that we can maintain our life styles, economies and consumption with the promise of geoengineering like carbon capture and storage, stimulating ocean algal growth, or spraying aerosols of sulfur dioxide in the sky. As this book shows, it is suicidal to put our hopes in such promises.
DAVID SUZUKI Canadian environmental activist, professor emeritus, University of British Columbia, host of CBC's The Nature of Things, author of 43 books, recipient of 25 honorary doctorates as well as numerous awards, including the Order of Canada.
We need to be mature enough to understand that technology alone won't be our salvation. This book helps explain why we need to think more deeply than that.
BILL MCKIBBEN Journalist, environmental activist, Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College, author of many influential books and articles, including The End of Nature and Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet.
Technology has become our near-universal object of faith: new machines (whether solar panels or iPads) will solve all our problems! Few of us seem to understand that machines have in fact exacerbated most of our current environmental and social problems, and it is people who must provide the answers. It is our appetites and economic arrangements--not our gadgets--that must change if we are to survive. Michael and Joyce Huesemann argue this controversial thesis clearly, convincingly, and entertainingly. Their book deserves to be read and discussed in every home, school, and legislature.
RICHARD HEINBERG American journalist, Senior Fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, and author of ten influential books including The Party's Over. Peak Everything, and The End of Growth.
In Techno-Fix, Michael and Joyce Huesemann show us how unsustainable and destructive technologies, shaped and driven by the profit motive, have emerged as a major cause of harm to the health of people and the earth. We need to go beyond a blind Techno-religion. We ourselves need to choose the tools that shape our lives. A vibrant and vital democracy needs people's participation in technology choice. Techno-Fix shows how.
VANDANA SHIVA New Delhi based environmental and anti-globalization activist, philosopher, author of 20 books including Soil not Oil and Staying Alive, and recipient of numerous international awards.
Salvation by technological advance and unlimited growth is the blind dogma of our age. The Huesemanns provide a devastatingly cogent and well-referenced critique of this modern Gnosticism, as well some good alternative ideas. Highly recommended!
HERMAN DALY Former Senior Economist at the World Bank, Professor of Ecological Economics at the University of Maryland, and author of many influential books, including Steady-State Economics and Ecological Economics.
Techno-Fix deals with a wide range of issues at the core of the sustainability crisis, showing that these problems are not going to be solved by technical advances which leave the fundamental structures and values of rampant consumer society in place. It presents a detailed and powerful case, based on extensive references to supporting studies and evidence, and expressed in a clear and easily readable style. The alarming problems now accelerating on many fronts are not basically technical problems. They are mostly created by the mistaken goals we have chosen to pursue, especially the pursuit of limitless affluence and economic growth. Unfortunately mainstream thinking seems to be about as far from recognizing this as it ever was, and its main support derives from faith in technology. It seems to be generally believed that our wizard scientists will come up with ways whereby we can all go on merrily getting richer with no end in sight, and the poor of the world would rise to live as we do. This book provides a very effective refutation of this willful, deeply entrenched and rarely questioned delusion. Among the book's virtues is that it goes beyond technical issues to consider the social, economic and philosophical dimensions of our predicament, pointing convincingly to many areas where radical rethinking of goals and means is urgently required.
TED TRAINER Austrialian environmental and sustainability activist at the University of New South Wales, author of The Conserver Society and Transition to a Sustainable and Just World, as well as numerous other books and articles.
This book is outstanding, the most thorough, clear, systematic refutation that I've seen of the absurd idea that new technology will be our saviour against advancing ecological breakdown. The authors show that technology is far more the problem than the solution, and no big new techno-Utopian tinkering will change that. Far more than a technological revolution, the authors argue, we need a conceptual revolution; one which recognizes that our fantasies of dominion over nature, and the remake of the earth's natural systems, and all the assumptions that brought us here will not get us out. This is a must-read for anyone seeking realistic pathways forward, rather than more of the same.
JERRY MANDER Founder of the International Forum on Globalization, program director at the Foundation for Deep Ecology, and author of influential books on the social, cultural, and environmental effects of mega-technologies.
It has frequently been proclaimed, especially by certain economists, that our problems--whether economic, environmental, social, or political--can be resolved by technological wizardry. Julian Simon, an extreme proponent of this view, urged us to ignore the warnings of environmentalists, and to stride towards a shining new future created by technologies. For the most part, techno-optimists have been simply misinformed and stand in urgent need of some extensive homework on the issue. All the more welcome, then, is this first-rate book. If only it could have emerged sooner, it might have saved us much trouble and much money.
NORMAN MYERS British professor and fellow at Oxford University, member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the World Academy of Art and Science, and the Royal Society of Arts, advisor on environmental issues to the United Nations, the World Bank as well as to scientific academies and various governments worldwide. In 1997, he was appointed by HRH Queen Elizabeth II to be a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George for "services to the global environment."
Believers in unending growth argue that technology can overcome any environmental penalties of growth. This is the most detailed scholarly rebuttal of that view that I have seen. The Huesemanns systematically take on the pro-growth arguments, and their rebuttals are persuasive. Indeed, I would suggest that, in meeting the technophiles on their own turf, the Huesemanns may be too gentle. The formula Impact=Population X Affluence (or Consumption) X Technology was originated by environmentalists, but it has been adopted by technophiles because it equates technology with population as equal determinants of the environmental impact of growth and change. The problem is that: (1) It assumes a linear relationship among the variables, while the real world is non-linear, marked by thresholds of damage and changing impacts as the scale changes. (2) The range of impacts of the three variables is dramatically different. Population change affects most biological, social and economic interactions, whereas a given technological change by itself influences a much narrower band, and the net impact of technological change as a whole is incalculable. Even using the original formula whose assumptions could be made considerably stronger, the book successfully refutes the belief that technology is a cure for growth. The authors write from broad practical and academic qualifications. The book is also valuable in offering, not just the authors' views, but the viewpoints of many well-known writers on population change and its consequences. That in itself should make it valuable as a textbook for courses on population, environment or resources -- indeed for courses in current history, which too often ignore those critical determinants of our future. Teachers in all those areas will find it useful for their own education.
LINDSEY GRANT Former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Environment and Population, author of the classic Juggernaut: Growth on a Finite Planet, other important books and many articles on population issues.


text: Something big is happening... I've been an Apple fan for a long time, but for the longest time my praise for macs often fell on deaf ears. Yet, in the past month, 5 people I know ordered macbooks! This was of their own volition, and I only found out about it afterwards. Intereting things to note: 1) All are women. 2) All are switchers. 3) All are young professionals (23-26), some getting ready to go to grad school. Another pc-using buddy of mine is convinced Apple is going to take over the world. He just bought an iPod, and he's been really floored by the experience. Anyone else notice spontaneous spasms of ridiculous numbers of new Apple customers? Yes Virginia, something big is happening.

Larox Flowsys has delivered EL 100/6 progressive cavity (PC) pump in the beginning of year 2011 to Biovakka Suomi Oy, Topinoja dumping ground. Biovakka produces biogas, recycled nutrients and transport fuel from organic raw materials such as farm-produced manure, wet sludge from the food industry and organic waste from retail trade and communities. In Topinoja dumping ground in Turku municipal waste of 300 000 people is processed in 21-day cycle.
Larox progressing cavity pump is pumping municipal waste, which has rated capacity of 20-25 m3, dry solids content 26 – 28 % and macerators placed on both sides of the pump. The PC pump rotor is made of chrome plated stainless steel. Other parts in contact with fluids are either stainless steel or case hardened steel.
Larox progressive cavity pump selection includes the following types of pumps:
• Series C and E pumps for demanding duties e.g. in pulp & paper, mining & minerals and chemical industries
• Series D pumps for dosing
• Series EL, a very compact solution for environmental applications such as waste water and municipal waste
In Biovakka they use the block-model framed EL-series pump. In this type of PC pump the bearing is inside the gear, not in the pump's body like in other series' pumps. In waste water applications a single-action seal is often used in EL series pumps, but if the application is more demanding also double-acting seals are available. With EL series pump a 6 bar counter pressure is achieved by longer pitch elliptic rotor. With this longer pitch rotor higher output is achieved with lower cycles. Lower cycles lead to lower friction and wearing of rotors and stators.
One very challenging issue in Biovakka's process is that the bio mass normally very easily jams the rotor and coupling rod. In Larox progressive cavity pump there are access holes as a standard, and through these holes jams are easily removed, without dismantling the whole pump.
The precise 3D-technology allows a rigid and tighter pumping unit, which enables high pressure and remarkably better efficiency compared to conventional progressive cavity pumps. With optimized compression of rotor and stator friction, spillover and wearing is minimized and pump can be used with the same rotor also in high temperatures. Easy installation, usage and maintenance have been taken into account in pump's structure, e.g. the direction of pump's suction connection can be adjusted stepless and change of seals is quick and easy. Larox PC pump was very simple to assemble into the existing pipeline. With Larox PC pump's built-in advantages the customer's actual savings both in energy consumption and in installation and maintenance costs result in the total cost of ownership decreasing and higher plant availability.
Biovakka decided to choose Larox progressive cavity pump, as Larox Flowsys is very well known for its quality, especially when dealing with very abrasive and aggressive applications. In this specific application the process is extremely wearing, and rotors and stators need to be changed every now and then. Thus reliable spare part deliveries are also critical. Larox Flowsys has its own spare part production and the customer has a warehousing deal for wearing parts with Larox Flowsys Service. Biovakka has been very satisfied with the service of Larox Flowsys and based on the pump's operation experience it is obvious that Larox progressive cavity pump is the most applicable pump in this application.

Suzanne & Tosh
Suzanne & Tosh
September 6, 2008
Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
Wow, what a wedding. Everything was just so lively, even the couple themselves are just fun to be around. Everyone was laughing, smiling, and dancing the whole time. It was beautiful to see. Suzy and Tosh's lively personality was apparent in many of the details, from the New Orleans style intro, to the cookie bar with milk shots. You know the expression that the tension was thick you can cut it with a knife. In Suzy and Tosh's case the joy and laughter was so thick that you felt like you could cut it with a knife. Great wedding guys, I had a blast!

Hirohito hērō´hētō [key], 1901–89, emperor of Japan. He was made regent in 1921 and succeeded his father, Yoshihito (the Taishō emperor), in 1926. He married (1924) Princess Nagako Kuni (1903–2000) a son and heir, Prince Akihito , was born in 1933. For 20 years he reigned as sovereign as Japan went to war in China and the Pacific, and in 1945 he made an unprecedented radio broadcast announcing Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allies. Under Allied occupation, he retained the throne, but was transformed from imperial sovereign to democratic symbol. The constitution of 1946 made him
symbol of the state and of the unity of the people,and he became familiar as a marine biologist, family figure, and greeter of foreign heads of state. His Showa (
enlightened peace) reign was the longest and one of the most turbulent in Japan's history.

Today, I have a very quick and easy tag to share. I started with a pre-made manila tag base and covered it with Prima's Printery paper. The flower and brad are from Prima's Engraver collection. The butterfly and rhinestones are from Recollections. The sentiment was cut from black cardstock using a Tim Holtz thinlit die.
This tag came together in no time at all! The colors are perfect for the fall season. And, of course, I love Prima!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and your kind comments. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

GMG presents new and products at Drupa
Friday, April 04, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyTuebingen (04.03.2008) - GMG has concentrated totally on Drupa by developing new products and advanced versions of existing ones. New products will be presented in both the software and the media sector.
Visitors to the exhibition can expect a major advance in the field of proofing. The new versions of ColorProof, DotProof, and FlexoProof focus on additional functions, even easier handling, and intuitive support of the various industry standards. That is just one of the highlights at the GMG booth – not only for existing GMG users, but for all businesses that need to produce color-accurate contract proofs reliably, simply and repeatably. The software solutions feature the new Adobe PDF Print Engine technology.
In the color management sector, users will be able to see "ColorMaster in a Box" for the first time. Based on GMG ColorServer, this is an attractive product for companies – such as advertising agencies or prepress businesses – that want to keep their data in the RGB color space for as long as possible. Only at the very last minute, when the printing process has been definitively defined, are the RGB data separated into the required CMYK target color space using GMG ColorServer. Vector data can be created directly in the GMG ColorMaster color space and then converted into the target color space in preconfigured hot folders by CMYK-to-CMYK conversion using high-quality GMG 4D profiles. GMG supplies predefined settings for all important target color spaces, making it very easy for the user to set up an automated workflow. In addition, GMG ColorMaster offers a color space that covers all common printing gamuts, and is also available as an ICC profile for retouching images in Photoshop. This approach is supported by a DVD containing video sequences that explain how to set up the workflows and enable every user to create and use workflows themselves in a minimum of time.
One completely new product is GMG Connect. This software solution permits simple integration of GMG products in Prinergy, Esko and Dalim workflow environments. The software is additionally of great benefit for efficient remote proofing, enabling cross-platform checking of print job statuses via the Internet, for example.
The presentation for visitors will also include the two GMG products GMG PrintControl, software for standardizing the printing process from start to finish, and GMG RapidCheck, verification software that takes just a few mouse click to check compliance with printing process standards.
In the media sector, the successful GMG media offering is being expanded to include three new papers. The individual products are a new 140 gram matt paper, a 250 gram gloss paper, and a new 76 gram newsprint paper.
"Since Drupa 2004 marked the start of four years of continuous growth, we have very high hopes for this year's Drupa, too. We expect that our new and advanced products will enable us to attract new customers for GMG products, especially from the printing sector, in addition to our existing clientele. GMG will be exhibiting on a 260 m2 booth at Drupa (Hall 8b, Booth A11), where the GMG staff and our authorized retail partners will be more than willing to help and advice visitors," says Robert Weihing, CEO of GMG GmbH & Co. KG.

Cast: Aravindsamy, Gowthami, Ranjitha, Thalaivasal Vijay, Sabhitha Anand, SujithaLanguage: TamilBanner: National Film Development AssociationDirector: MahendranProducer: National Film Development AssociationCamera: NambiyathriStory: MahendranScreenplay: MahendranDialogue: MahendranLyrics: Ka.Kali Muthu, Arivumathi, Muthu LingamMusic: Bala BharathiYear: 2006
Mahendran is one of the most noted directors in Tamil cinema and made films based on complexities of human relationships. His repertoire includes classics like Mullum Malarum and Uthiripookkal.
Now after many years, Mahendran has come out with another poignant human drama Sasanam which has been lying in the can for some time. The story and presentation is old and has no relevance to todays commercial cinema but what makes the film tick is Arvind Swamys performance.
The story is set in Karaikudi and has the Chettinad and Chettair culture as the backdrop. There are three main characters around which the story revolves- Ramanathan (Aravind Swamy) a rich Chettiar and a nice guy whom the villagers look up to. He has a lovely wife Visalakshi (Gowthami) but has no children. One day Saroji (Ranjita) and her mother come to their lives seeking help. Ramanathan gives them shelter and protection and soon he develops closeness towards Saroji. Visalakshi thinks that her husband is a perfect man but soon she discovers his affair with Saroji which leads to a piquant situation.
Mahendran should be given credit for showing an extra-marital affair without resorting to skin show or vulgarity. He has worked on human drama that unfolds when a man has an affair that leads to a breakdown in his personal life. The hurt and pain Ramanathan causes to his wife is brilliantly portrayed by the director. The supporting cast like Ramanathans sister (Sabitha Anand) and the faithful Man Friday (Thalaivasal Vijay) also adds to the sensitive manner in which the story has been treated.
Gouthami returns after a break and she is excellent as Visalakshi. Ranjita is the only drawback and she is not convincing as a dancer and is not able to able to get her expressions correctly. Arvind Swamy is first rate opting for a restrained mode in which he is able to bring out the pathos and hidden feeling of the character very well.
On the whole Sasanam tugs your heart strings, striking the right chord though a bit slow and old fashioned in shot compositions and presentation.

The Irish Open teed off today at Carton House in Co Kildare and it featured all the big stars.
Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington were the cream of the crop representing the island of Ireland at our home tournament.
But McIlroy admitted he is "feeling lost" as he struggled to reproduce the form that made him world No 1 on Thursday.
After carding a 2-over-par 74 on the opening day, trailing playing partner and leader Shane Lowry by seven shots, McIlroy said: "No aspects of my game are strong and I'm just feeling a bit lost.
"It feels good on the range and I can hit all the shots but when I get out on the course it really does not seem to be there.
"Off the tee, I am missing one right and then missing one left and it's just not going where I want it. It gets you in two minds every time you are playing a tee shot.
"The game is just not coming easy to me at the moment and while I was struggling at this point last year, I was able to turn the corner in the middle of the summer and have a great end to my season.
"I don't know whether it's a matter of trying to play my way out of it or just keep grinding away on the range or whatever."
Lowry, playing on his home course, said: "I was just chomping at the bit to get out there this morning and I was just trying to play me way into the tournament nicely so I'm really pleased with a 67.
"But it's really a privilege to be able to play on my home golf course, stay in my own house, and have all my family and friends up home to watch me. What more could a professional golfer want?"

AMD talked with Nvidia about possible merger before later acquiring ATi
Ryan Martin / 7 years ago
An enlightening report has emerged today courtesy of Forbes. It suggests that AMD had been in talks with Nvidia about a possible merger before AMD later decided to go on to takeover ATi. The reason for AMD looking to conduct a takeover was quite simple. Well before 2006, AMD's engineers were thinking about the concept of the APU where they could integrate a powerful GPU onto a CPU. However, AMD lacked the ability to produce such graphics processing units which meant it relied on Nvidia to make chipsets for AMD boards. Intel had already been quite successful at doing its own integrated graphics for a long time before AMD.
Forbes says that AMD first approached Nvidia about the deal. AMD and Nvidia had relatively good relations back then (compared to now anyway) as Nvidia had a very large proportion of the market share on AMD board chipsets. Apparently, Nvidia boss Jen-Hsun Huang insisted on becoming the CEO of the proposed AMD-Nvidia merger, an idea that didn't go down well with AMD's Hector Ruiz. AMD then went on to acquire Nvidia's cash-strapped rival ATI Technology, which then became AMD's Graphics Products division before being annexed into the rest of the AMD brand.

Big Thunder Tribander
The X7 Triband Yagi is geared to set new standards in both radiating performance and mechanical reliability.
Each mechanical component was designed to 100+ MPH wind survival without a boom truss with a 1.25 safety factor. Traps were eliminated from the high current driven elements and reflectors using the new 4L Log Cell design. This yields virtual monoband performance and maximum power handling capability. Traps are employed only in the lower current directors for increased gain and sharper pattern. The result is a truly high performance antenna family which will easily handle the legal limit.

Ghana's Tonaton.com which is run by Saltside Technologies means "buy and sell" in Ghana's Twi, and the jobs push is likely not a shift from its horizontal marketplace model but a heightened focus to take advantage of the country's recruitment sector largely dominated by Ringier's Jobberman.
Tonaton.com launched its new jobs portal at the recent HR Focus Conference and Awards.
"Twenty years ago, the resume was a piece of paper," said Mabel Adu, CEO of Beauty and Health services provider, Aloette Africa.
"Now, it's a collection of all [candidate] data that can be found online. This helps employers to assess whether a person will fit the role specified for the job," adds Mabel Adu, whose company recruits through the Tonaton jobs portal.
The new Tonaton.com Jobs portal which was introduced to participants at the Conference has an improved user experience and comes with an updated interface enriched with tools and resources which will delight both Employers and job seekers.
The new portal, Tonaton.com/Jobs has a summary view with details on total and shortlisted applicants, and provides employers with the option to view 'All, Active, and Expired' jobs. It also has an updated design for improved display of important dates.
Employers can now shortlist and reject profiles to move them to the respective bucks to make progress on hiring for a position. The buckets for Inbox and Shortlist show the count of candidates in each of them.
Users can now bulk shortlist and reject profiles to become more productive. With enhanced Filter and Search features, productivity of the employer dashboard has been optimized.
Tonaton.com has also introduced a new concept of candidate profile. There are going to be hundreds of thousands of candidate profile in no time, as every applicant who applies for a job on our platform – will have a candidate profile.
These profiles are not seen by users as these are obviously private to the individual candidate. Only when a user applies for a job on our platform, is the profile is sent to the employer.
"HR is constantly ensuring we add value to the bottom line. This can be easily achieved if employers and recruiters adapt and move to modern recruiting technology faster," says Janet Asomaning HR Manager at Tonaton.com. "Employers should invest in their hiring process to find rightly skilled people easily."
"Which is why these new tools we have deployed on Tonaton.com/Jobs will allow recruiters and hiring managers to easily and affordably find, evaluate and organize top job candidates, while innovative assessment and filtering techniques will help provide a 360-degree holistic view of top applicants," adds Janet Asomaning.
Tonaton believes it will succeed in the recruitment sector because of its dominance in the online classifieds space in Ghana with 35,000,000 visits month-on-month.

Forever-Or Not: Nearly Anyone Today Can Inscribe His Name for Eternity on the Web or Have It Chiseled in Brick at His Alma Mater. Has the 21st Century Finally Delivered Immortality for All?
Stark, Andrew, The Wilson Quarterly
WE HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT IMMORTALITY THESE days than we've ever had before--not literal immortality, of course, or the biological immortality that results from perpetuating our genes through procreation, but the lesser immortality that comes from leaving at least some mark for generations to come that says, "I was here, and this is who I was" For much of human history, only eminent artists or thinkers or public figures could hope to have their names live on in this way. But a canvass of the culture reveals that, in at least two ways, the kind of immortality that once was the preserve of the greats is now being democratized. Or so it is said.
Thanks to the Internet, claims D. Raj Reddy, a professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, the possibility of "virtual immortality" is now available to everyone. Anyone can post material on the World Wide Web, and because the Web is impervious to the degradation that time inflicts on printed records, whatever it contains has the capacity to exist indefinitely in some form. True, Web sites currently disappear with alarming frequency, and so Professor Reddy might be overstating matters when he says that "we can feel confident" that our Web postings will become part of the "permanent record of the human race: But if what he says isn't true of every single Web site at this early moment in the Web's history, it's certainly true that, in principle and for the first time, the Internet offers the technological means whereby anyone can keep his or her work universally accessible indefinitely. That's why bloggers--those who on a regular basis post their autobiographical narratives, political musings, photos, and poetry online--so often express the inchoate hope that the Internet will allow them, as blogger Radley Balko puts it, to leave "their mark on the world" and achieve a kind of immortality (Balko, a 30-year-old "writer, editor, and wonk living in Alexandria, Virginia," currently gets a respectable 8,000 visits a day on his blogsite, theagitator.com). Blogger Joshua Claybourn, an Indiana University law student whose intheagora.com appears as a link on numerous other Web sites, makes no bones about the matter: "I admit to considering the blog's impact on my immortality."
In addition to the incipient promise of virtual immortality through the Internet, there's a second phenomenon that promises to bring a formerly restricted type of immortality within reach of us all. In days gone by, individuals whose names lived on after them affixed to buildings--museums, schools, universities, hospitals, and the like--were usually figures of some note. Now, with the burgeoning need for nonprofit organizations to raise private funds, anyone can have his or her name placed on an institutional structure--for a price. This might seem more like the plutocratizing than the democratizing of immortality but for the fact that "naming opportunities" are available to people of all income levels. Those of more modest means can, for lesser sums, have their names placed on a classroom, a bench, or even an individual brick. And they often admit to seeking what Tasha Thomas, a fundraiser at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio calls "a little bit of the immortality that used to be available just to famous people." "Call it an answer to the yearning for immortality," says The San Francisco Chronicle. "For a price, universities will carve the name of a generous benefactor in limestone or on an imposing building." Or a brick.
Are we really living at the dawn of immortality's democratization? Consider first the idea of immortality in cyberspace. We're unlikely to confuse any of the other Louis Armstrongs on the Web with the jazz great. But things are different for us ordinary folks. A certain Michael Wood, one of many people to post comments on a site for people with the name "Michael Wood," complained that "someone else's [view will be] mistakenly attributed to me: The Internet allowed Dave Gorman, who calls himself a "documentary comedian," to discover 54 other people who share his name. …

National Book Lover's Day
It's National Book Lover's Day. What a wonderful thing? It's a great day to celebrate writing, books, e-readers and everything to do with the written word. My way to celebrate is to go into a book store and just sit down with every book I can cram into the day.
Okay... I don't market much on here, but here's another great way to celebrate... buy one of my books.... Yep, there I said it.
Whatever you decide to do... Have a great day.
