One of the most well recognized brand names in commercial real estate brokerage — Grubb & Ellis Co. — has been working on several fronts to regain profitability and improve its balance sheet. Now the embattled firm says it is free to consider new strategies while it pursues deals already on the table.
In March, Santa Ana, Calif.-based Grubb & Ellis (NYSE: GBE) hired JMP Securities to explore the potential sale or merger of the company. That same month, it announced receipt of an $18 million loan from private investment firm Colony Capital.
The financing deal also gave Los Angeles-based Colony Capital a 60-day period to exclusively negotiate a larger strategic investment in Grubb & Ellis.
The two companies are still in discussion, but Colony Capital's exclusivity period ended May 29. That allows Grubb & Ellis to enter talks with other potential investors or buyers.
"[Now] that we have expanded the pool of potential strategic partners, the board and management are intent on bringing the strategic process to conclusion in a manner that creates value for all of our stakeholders," says Thomas D'Arcy, president and CEO of Grubb & Ellis, in a written statement released Tuesday.
In the same announcement, the company reported "significant progress" in its effort to sell subsidiary Daymark Realty Advisors. Daymark manages tenant-in-common programs in a 33 million sq. ft. portfolio that includes some 8,700 multifamily units.
Tenant-in-common (TIC) investments enable small investors to own an undivided fractional interest in a property. There can be up to 35 co-owners in a TIC deal.
The company created Daymark in February and retained FBR Securities to market the subsidiary for sale. Grubb & Ellis expects to complete a transaction in regard to Daymark, although it hasn't specified a timeline for such a sale.
The company is making good progress on both initiatives, according to D'Arcy. "The market reaction to our core real estate services and non-traded REIT business — with its broad platform, talented professionals and deep client and investor base — has been very strong," he says. "At the same time, Daymark has attracted strong interest from a range of potential buyers."
Money troubles
The company ranks No. 13 on NREI's Top 25 Brokerages with $12.1 billion in total sales and leasing transactions recorded in 2010, up from $10.2 billion 2009.
But net income from management services hasn't been enough to make the firm profitable in the face of operating losses in investment management and transaction services. In February, Grubb & Ellis reported a net loss $66.8 million for all of 2010 compared with a net loss of $78.8 million in 2009.
On May 19, the New York Stock Exchange notified Grubb & Ellis that the real estate company was in violation of its listing standards, which require an average market capitalization of at least $50 million over 30 consecutive trading days and shareholders' equity of no less than $50 million.
In April, Grubb & Ellis received a similar violation notice from the NYSE, this time due to its average closing price per share falling below $1 over a 30-day period. The company is developing plans to comply with both listing standards.
Restructuring measures
This year Grubb & Ellis is attempting to jettison less-profitable business units and improve its balance sheet. Hence the creation of Daymark, which carved out the managed tenant-in-common portfolio from the larger company's investment management division.
Grubb & Ellis picked up the managed tenant-in-common portfolio in 2007 when it merged with Triple Net Realty Advisors. The business unit reported revenue of $21.9 million in 2010, down 18% from $26.7 million in 2009. What is now Daymark reported operating losses of $6 million in 2010 and $17.5 million the previous year.
In the company's Feb. 15 conference call to discuss fourth-quarter results with analysts, Mike Rispoli, Grubb & Ellis' executive vice president and chief financial officer, pointed to some positive developments in the company's year-end financial report.
Grubb & Ellis reduced corporate expenses by $10 million in 2010 from the previous year, he noted. And the transaction services group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) climbed $10 million from the previous year on revenue that grew 46% from the previous year.
Revenue from management services declined slightly to $274.6 million in 2010 from $274.9 million in 2009. The management services business was the company's profit leader, generating $18.4 million in operating income in 2010. "This business continues to provide steady operating results for the company," Rispoli told analysts.
A tough sell
Grubb & Ellis needs a strategic buyer that can gain maximum value from the company's platform, according to a report published March 28 by William Blair & Co. analysts Brandon Dobell and Tom Dillon.
The trouble is, few existing commercial real estate service providers large enough to afford such an acquisition would find the deal viable due to potential culture clashes and overlap with their own service lines and geographic coverage areas.
"[Among] the major potential public and private buyers, we struggle to find a likely match," William Blair analysts wrote in their March 28 report.
A piecemeal sale of various business units is unlikely to fetch a combined price equal to Grubb & Ellis' current enterprise value, which analysts estimate at $200 million. What is clear, however, is that the longer the company takes to find a buyer or other solution, the less valuable the company will be to a buyer.
"We believe the longer this process goes on, the more likely the value of the company's assets is to fall, as intellectual capital can walk away from the company at any point," write William Blair analysts.
"Competitors have likely already started assessing where the top talent in Grubb lies," analysts conclude, "and whether it would be less expensive to buy an entire company, or unit, or simply hire away the best brokers."

The moonstone is associated with the moon and was the stone of the goddess Diana. The most powerful time to use the moonstone is in a full moon.
It has been worn as an amulet to bring good emotions to the wearer, while protecting those of a sensitive nature. It can reunite lovers who have quarreled. Moonstone is also considered a good luck stone.
Moonstone is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who owns it. It does not add or detract, only shows how it is. This is why the moonstone is said to perceive that which "is". Moonstone is an excellent stone to use in meditation to understand oneself. Placing it in the moonlight of a moon reaching its fullness, not a full or waning moon, can revitalize it. This is a particularly good gemstone for women. It is a good stone for young women or teenagers.
Healing properties of Moonstone
Moonstone is used by healers to stimulate the functioning of the pineal gland and balance internal hormone cycles with nature's rhythms. Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength. Though often considered to be a woman's stone, it can be beneficial to men in opening the emotional self.

This focus should lead to assisting the state and the nation through quality graduates, economic development, and serving the public interest. The University will achieve its goals through the continual pursuit of excellence in its instructional and strategic research programs.
An annual Action Plan derives from the current five-year Strategic Plan and delineates the strategies to be executed in a given year to achieve the longer term goals of the five-year plan. An annual Action Plan also provides commentary on the progress made during the previous year in improving quality aspects of the university.

Focusing on Every Child's Individual Growth and Achievement
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests are another measure Mason City Schools teachers use to determine your child's instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year in reading and math. Teachers use this information to provide customized support and enrichment to students in ways that best support their learning.
MAP tests are unique in that they automatically adapt to your child's level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward testing. MAP tests are given in the fall and spring each year in grades 1-6.
Partnering to help all kids learn, parents and teachers can have a profound positive effect on the lives of our children.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Quick cream pie
Somehow I managed to hide mini chocolate muffins in my oven over the weekend and now I'm left with lots of chocolate cake crumbs. I decided to make a quick, and easy dessert, which doesn't look luxurious, but is really tasty, fast and easy to prepare in almost no time. Try on your own, you can use any kind of sweet baked cookies, cakes, etc., that crumbles easily.
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)

I am developing an application that requires multiple froms.
I plan on having a Visible=false form that will have all of my data objects.
The grids on the other forms will need to access this data. I have been
able to
duplicate the example code given by MS but when I move the data objects and
update the subroutine to point at the data object on the invisible frame,
I get
no data.
This is what I have:
Private Sub cmdMain_Click()
Unload Me
frmMain.Visible = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmdRefresh_Click()
Unload Me
Me.Visible = True
End Sub
Private Sub cmdSelectBatch_Click()
Unload Me
frmEditBatch.Visible = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
frmHiddenData.Data1.RecordSource = ""
frmHiddenData.Data1.DatabaseName = "biblio.mdb"
End Sub
Public Sub DoSql()
Dim mysql$
mysql$ = "SELECT "
mysql = mysql & "Publishers.[Company Name], "
mysql = mysql & "Authors.Author, "
mysql = mysql & "Titles.Title "
mysql = mysql & "FROM Authors INNER JOIN "
mysql = mysql & "(Publishers INNER JOIN ([title author] INNER JOIN Titles
ON [title author].ISBN = Titles.ISBN) ON Publishers.PubID = Titles.PubID)
mysql = mysql & "ON Authors.Au_ID = [title author].Au_ID "
mysql = mysql & "WHERE Authors.Au_ID < 30 "
frmHiddenData.Data1.RecordSource = mysql
End Sub
If I can get this to work, then I am sure that I can get the application
to work with the real data.
Part 2:
Will I be able to put data from one form into lables and text boxes on another?
Thank you.

Yugo 24/47 vs Yugo M48
Hey guys. I'm in the market for a Mauser. I don't want to pay Deutsche Mauser prices, but I'm fine with a Yugo. My question is, what is the mechanical difference between the 24/47 and the M48? I know the 24/47's were reworked Belgian rifles, but besides that, what's the difference? Is one better than the other? And what about prices? Thanks in advance.

The Actions are exactly the same, the parts will enterchange. The main difference will be the stock configuration, and the Bolt Handle, most 24 47s have streight bolt handles, the 48s have bent down handles.
I have a Yugo 24 47 with a bent down bolt handle that I bought from Samco Global Arms, and it was in near perfect shape when I got it, and is a great shooter. Either Rifle will serve you well, but I do recomend ordering a taller front sight for them, because they will both shoot about a foot high with the issue front sight.

The M48 does have a shorter action ( about 1/4" shorter )
and that makes it dificult to find some things for them
( stocks, bolts and bolt parts at this time )
The 24/47 is a 98 Mauser, with its standard length action
( much easyer to get parts and accessorys ( custom or competion
stocks, bolts, scope mounts and other parts) )
I have 3-M48s (2-8MM and 1-308)

Guys, we really need to check facts before posting answers. This is how incorrect info keeps living on, and on, and on.
The Yugo M1924 and M24/47 are BOTH intermediate length actions. The M48 and all it's variations are intermediate length actions.
Normally the 24/47 has a straight bolt handle and the M48's are a bent bolt handle.
The Yugo M98/48 (captured K98's) is a full length action. There is a quarter inch difference in length.
The Yugo M24/52C (VZ24) is a full length action.
Top two are intermediate length and the bottom is full length.
Two M48's and a M24/52C
Original M1924, a intermediate length Mauser action.
Here in the USA we tend to refere to Mauser action by length. It should be by "ring size". There are three basic Mauser rifle actions. Large ring, small ring and intermediate ring.
ETA: TX Hunter got it right.

There is a reason. The Yugoslavs first bought FN Model 24's from Belgium, part of an arms buying relationship that also included FN Model 1922 pistols and Browning automatic rifles.
But FN had obtained the license for a slightly earlier Mauser that used a different breeching than that finalized as the Model 1898, and that is what they made as a commercial military called the Model 24. Those rifles were sold to a number of countries, including Yugoslavia. After WWII, the Model 24 rifles were upgraded and called the Model 24/47, the latter number being the year the upgrade was approved.
Yugoslavia also bought the machinery and tooling from FN so they could make the Model 24 rifles in-country. It is that tooling that was used in the immediate post-WWII period to manufacture the M48 which, naturally, copied the FN Model 24.
To confuse things further, 1924 was a banner year for national rearmament; every country seemed to want to upgrade is old weaponry to the new era of bolt action rifles, as exemplified by the new Mausers, which were considered the height of military small arms progress, notwithstanding that Germany had lost the war. The new nation of Czechoslovakia began manufacture of the VZ-24 using the standard Model 98 action. In Belgium, FN cranked up their production lines to turn out their own Model 24, and in Germany, Mauser got into the arms race later, but also called their commercial rifle the Model 24.
But I am puzzled about the "intermediate" ring size. The receiver ring of the "intermediate" 24/47 and 48 is the same size as that of the G/K 98.

"Intermediate" does NOT refer to the ring size. It refers to the action LENGTH, specifically the trigger guard screw spacing. The "intermediate" actions are approx. 1/4" inch shorter than the full-length actions.
In the specific case of the Yugo M1924's, 24/47's, M48 series, etc......they are LARGE-ring / intermediate LENGTH actions.

I am only going by what Madcratebuilder said. I would like more info on the ring sizes and how they relate to the action lengths.

Large ring (35.8mm) models are standard length. The distance between the floor plate screws is 199mm. Large ring Mausers include the G98, K98, K98k VC24, Mex1912 and so on.
Small ring (33mm) floor plate screws are 193.5mm between centers. These include the Serb 1899, Swed 1894 and 1896 among others.
The intermediate ring (35.8) models have the same floor plate measurement as the small ring, 193.5mm. What sets it apart is it has a large ring diameter front ring, 35.8mm like the K98-G98 rifles.
Intermediate ring (length) rifles are the 1924's. FN and Yugo, the exception is the Czech vz24.
wpsdlrg is correct, there are only two receiver rings measurements, 35.8mm and 33mm.

"So then theres really only 2 ring sizes, large and small? Because the "intermediate ring" has a shorter action,but has the large rings? So its large ring? "
Yes, that is correct. As I said, "intermediate" really only refers to the action length. It is a misnomer that it has anything to do with ring size.
But then, my 25 years of experience with these rifles qualifies me to know absolutely nothing about them.

Hi, MCB,
Please re-read what you wrote above. Your info is usually right on the money, but what you wrote is just confusing.
AFAIK: There are two Mauser receiver ring sizes, the small ring and the large ring. The former was used on pre-1898 Mausers and on the Kar 98a adopted during WWI. For lightness, that rifle, otherwise an 1898 model, uses a small receiver ring.*
All other Mauser 1898's (Gew. 98, K.98k, etc.) as well as copies (VZ-24) use the large ring. The action length, whether measured by the distance between guard screws, or some other way, is another issue.
It is a bit like judging a man's height by his hat size.
*After the war, so many were acquired by Turkey that they became known as the "small ring Turk" even though they were actually made in Germany.

If you well read the published Mauser books you well read reference to the three ring sizes. You can call them anything you want. I just wrote what I read in published books.

The two receiver ring diameters were 1.30" for the "small" ring and 1.40" for the "large" ring. There may have been a third size; Olson states that the receiver ring of the G.33/40 is 1.295" but that is close enough to 1.30 that the difference is more likely a matter of manufacturing tolerances than of a truly different size.
One point of confusion is that we usually associate the large ring with the 98 action, and the larger ring was part of the 98 design, to strengthen the receiver. But there were rifles which used the 98 design in other aspects but which used the small ring, usually as a weight-saving measure. The G.33/40 was one of those; the Kar 98a was another, as well as early military and several commercial models.
There are also variations in the length of the receiver ring, and several lengths of action, especially when commercial Mausers are taken into account. Stoeger listed 20 different Mauser Oberndorf actions, with 8 different magazine lengths. It is not indicated how many actual actions there were (as opposed to variations in receiver and magazine box machining), but Mauser, like most other gun companies of the time, would make what a good enough customer wanted.

This Hexapod You Can Work With
Take a standard knee-mill, identical to those found in thousands of shops around the world. On the backside of the mill, place a worktable. Under that worktable, attach six movable legs. Rotate the overarm of the mill 90 degrees so the spindle is above the rear worktable. You've created a five-axis knee mill.
With the introduction of its Hexabot Series 1, Hexel Corporation (Portsmouth, New Hampshire) has built a practical hexapod that allows a shop to turn its ordinary knee-mill into a five-axis machining center. The Hexabot alters the length of its six legs to create continuous motion for machining contoured workpieces in a single setup that would take several handlings on a conventional three-axis machine.
Featured Content
It has been several years since the metalworking world was first introduced to the concept of hexapod technology. Basically the key advantage of this concept was to introduce a machine tool that was dependent on mathematical algorithms for accuracy instead of mechanical relationships among components.
With a hexapod, the need to create very accurately aligned planes such as a column and base is not relevant. Rather, the accuracy of a hexapod machine tool resides in the complex mathematics within the control software. About the only precision mechanical components are the six ballscrews, which work together to actuate the axes of motion.
Commercial acceptance of the hexapod machining center has been slow. Hexel sees this new Hexabot as an incremental step for shops to use the flexibility of hexapod technology for metalcutting without a large up-front investment. Moreover, the risk of a relatively new technology is mitigated by the shop's ability to revert back to conventional three-axis milling if necessary.
"The odds are," says Michael Fortier, Hexel's vice president of advanced technology, "most shops that install this system behind their knee-mills will find themselves using it for jobs they once made using conventional three-axis machining." The Hexabot table is CNC driven and uses a PC-based interface and software package that allows five-axis part production using standard CNC programming.
In operation, the Hexabot is placed directly behind a standard knee-mill. Its footprint is 40 inches by 40 inches. Overall height of the table, fully extended, is 40 inches.
Once the knee-mill overarm is rotated 90 degrees, the machine's quill is locked in place. All of the axial motion is derived from the Hexabot table itself. Accuracies are quoted at ± 25 microns (± 0.001 inch). A maximum feed rate of 200 inches per minute can be programmed for the table. Its weight capacity is 250 pounds.
The six legs of the positioning table work in opposite pairs. When one leg is in tension, its opposite is in compression. This gives the design a high level of rigidity in both static and dynamic modes.

Verallia's FlexRunSM Service Offers Wineries Customized Bottle Options
As the leading producer of wine bottles in the U.S., Verallia North America continues to innovate in its service flexibility. Verallia's FlexRunSM Service, the first of its kind in the North American wine market, provides any winery, large or small, increased flexibility to run specialty bottles with limited investment. Whether adding a customized embossment to a stock bottle or creating an entirely new bottle design, it has never been easier to make shelf impact through custom glass design.
"We are always looking to differentiate and innovate in our products and services we offer the North American wine industry," said Bob Parise, Vice President, Sales for Verallia's Wine Sector. "Recognizing the need for personalized bottle options, we invested in new technology at our Seattle plant that allows for the manufacturing of customized bottles at a fraction of the investment previously needed to bring these products to market."
Verallia's FlexRun Service provides customers the option to personalize their bottles with in-glass decoration or new bottle shapes while offering flexible production runs and speed-to-market. This new FlexRun technology is a production system unique to the North American wine industry allowing for the production of two different bottles on the same line simultaneously. The system utilizes a "variable weight feeder" which allows for the automated delivery of variable weights of glass gobs to the individual forming sections. Limiting the number of sections required for a production run results in greatly reduced mold equipment costs.
Using this new technology, customers will benefit from a unique service for small or limited series items such as product launches, market tests, limited editions and commemorative bottles. Verallia's FlexRun Service is an innovative solution for glass wine bottle orders as small as 1,500 cases (9L case equivalent). Working closely with Verallia's design team, customers have the opportunity to develop customized in-glass decoration including specialty embossments, unique bottle shapes, bottom plate design and a variety of finishes. The service is currently available in four distinct colors - Antique Green, Champagne Green, Dead Leaf Green, and Flint.

Museum technologists redux: it's not about us
If you're reading this you probably know that these are important issues to discuss, and it's exciting thinking about the organisational change issues museums will rise to in order to stay relevant, but it's also important to step back and remind ourselves that ultimately, it's not about us. It's not about our role as museum technologists, or museums as organisations.
Museum technologists should be advocates for the digital audience, and guide museums in creating integrated, meaningful experiences, but we should also make sure that other museum staff know we still share their values and respect their expertise, and dispel myths about being zealots of openness at the expense of other requirements or wanting to devalue the physical experience.
It's about valuing the digital experiences our audiences have in our galleries, online and on the devices they carry in their pockets. It's about understanding that online visitors are real visitors too. It's about helping people make the most of their physical experiences by extending and enhancing their understandings of our collections and the world that shaped them. It's about showing the difference digital makes by showing the impact it can have for a museum seeking to fulfil its mission for audiences it can't see as well as those right under its nose.
I'm a museum technologist, but maybe in my excitement about its potential I haven't been clear enough: I'm not in love with technology, I'm in love with what it enables - better museums, and better museum experiences.
3 comments:
Thinking more generally about the role of technologists in museums, I suspect technologists should look to the Learning community for lessons from the past (in the UK, anyway) about integrating new paradigms into the core of museum work...ReplyDelete
Two posts with an interesting perspective. The first on why technologists are needed:ReplyDelete
Tom Steinburg on 'Can you recognize the million pound chair?': "The problem is that when it comes to identifying technology needs, and procuring successfully to fill them, you can't simply rely on general life experience to save you. It's a specialist skill, and one that requires knowledge to be constantly relearned and unlearned as technologies change.
It is time for leaders to bring some people who have got their hands dirty in the guts of digital projects into the decision making rooms, and onto the decision making boards."
And Rob Stein on 'Technology: Catalyst for Change in Museums': "While many museums continue to struggle with the day-to-day needs of operating a public institution, and rarely discuss the theoretical and philosophical issues of the field, those discussions are beginning to gain prevalence and traction among a tight-knit community of museum professionals who are at home within the technical landscape of the web and social media. This is not to say that those discussions don't occur in other professional communities and in museums, but rather that their presence in technology circles is frequently met with surprise." http://www.museum-id.com/ideas-detail.asp?newsID=315
And another that perhaps sums up the general characteristics of a 'double domain' technologist (someone with technical expertise + another specialism), 'On being a learning technologist' at http://learningtechnologiesteam.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/on-being-learning-technologist-and.htmlReplyDelete

MONTREAL — Picture it. A cold, rainy Monday morning. You awake with dread as the week begins, uninterested in battling the elements and traffic that await outside your front door. It's not that you hate your job or the work you do, it's just that you wish you didn't have to leave your humble abode to do it.
For the vast majority of the workforce, this sobering reality takes form every week. But, for a small segment of the employed, it's a blissfully foreign notion these days.
The advent of multiple telecommunication and file-sharing tools has made it more and more feasible to work from home. In fact, some companies are now even encouraging their workers to stay home. It's a far cry from the old-school mentality of putting on a suit and tie and making the nine-to-five cubicle commitment.
According to Statistics Canada, 1.8 million of the Canadian workforce went about their work from home in 2008, up from 1.4 million in 2000. Interestingly, the percentage goes up further among university graduates, who are 15 per cent are more likely to work at home than high school graduates.
Combined with those that were self-employed during the same period, the numbers say that 19 per cent of working Canadians work from home, up from 17 per cent in 2000.
While this increase in home-based workers might seem negligible and hardly an evolving trend, more and more companies are re-evaluating their work-from-home policy for employees.
Keren Dolan is the president of Premier Service, a customer experience and retail engagement measurement company. Founded in 1991, Premier Service has no offices and 35 employees (in addition to the 6,000 agents that carry out measurements on location), most of whom are based in the Montreal area. Everyone works from their home offices, on their own schedules.
"For our purposes, our employees working from home is fantastic. As long as each individual meets his or her deadlines, we don't mandate that our employees be anywhere specific and we allow them to manage their time accordingly," Dolan explains.
Recently, she and her husband had their first child. Being based at home allowed her to get back to work in a timely fashion and her husband to take a longer paternity leave. Having both parents at home has been an ideal situation for this family, while not detracting from Dolan's role with Premier Service.
Dolan says meeting strict deadlines and pressing matters constantly keeps her motivated .
Before coming on board with Premier Service in 2000, Dolan worked in human resources for a large company. She's aware of how important it is for companies to have effective communication with their employees.
"We're constantly in touch with our entire team. Whether it's with email, Skype, Windows Live Messenger or with other communication tools, everyone is reachable in real time most of the work day."
Like similar home-based businesses, Premier Service relies on several file sharing options, including an FTP site for uploading and downloading, and Smartsheet, an online collaborative spreadsheet tool.
Unlike some small businesses who attempt to hide the fact they don't have a head office, Dolan and Premier Service are very open about their setup.
"At first, new clients are a little surprised to learn that we have no head office. But as they get to know us, it becomes a non-issue."
Dolan also believes that the lack of commute time for her employees means she gets more productivity out of them during the day.
Martin Wiedenhoff is another a major proponent of working from home. A business web strategy analyst in Montreal, Wiedenhoff has telecommuted from home for a couple of companies, including Telus.
"While face-time with clients is important, I have found that my productivity is much higher when I am based out of my home office. On average, productivity for me is up 10 per cent a day when I work from home."
Like Premier Service, Wiedenhoff and his employer know the value of implementing strong telecommunication tools. He relies on tools such as the multi-faceted Microsoft Office Communicator and a virtual private network (VPN) connection.
"With my VPN connection, I can connect to the company network from anywhere and save 1.5 hours a day in work commute time," offers Wiedenhoff, whose wife also works from home once a day for her employer.
Reducing commuting time has taken on an added level of importance in Montreal, where this year's nightmarish bridge and road re-routings and closings has affected hundreds of thousands.
But Wiedenhoff warns against the perils of working from home as well.
"You have to be very disciplined. You have to eliminate all distractions in your home office and dress as though you're heading into work. It's all about the mentality."
More and more offices are turning to an open concept layout, complete with very few offices or cubicles. Wiedenhoff finds it next to impossible to have quality, private conversations with clients in these settings, preferring instead the privacy that comes with working from home.
Telecommunications company Telus has close to 15 per cent of its 6,000 call centre agents working from home. The company says it saves 40 per cent on the costs of supporting these at-home employees. Telecommuting also helps the environment —_having employees work at home has reduced air pollutants by four tonnes, Telus says.
"Giving employees the option of working full or part-time from home has become a strong recruiting tool," explains Melanie Diotte, president of Eximius Personnel, a recruitment firm for sales and marketing professionals.
A single mother of three, Melanie runs Eximius from her Montreal home, with two employees working from their respective residences as well. She says getting together with clients and professionals in coffee shops and social clubs has proven to be an effective way to arrange business meetings.
Melanie does see growth in telecommuting.
"When it comes to senior sales and marketing recruiting, I am definitely seeing companies offering employees the chance to work from home as a growing trend. If they want to attract top talent away from the competition, employers really need to consider this as an option for their employees."
It's not just employees that are staying home, it's also small entrepreneurs as well. According to Statistics Canada, in 2008, 60 per cent of self-employed individuals were working from home, up from about 50 per cent in 2000. It's a growing percentage that's been made easier by the ease with which you can now hire a virtual workforce.
No longer is a brick and mortar office required to recruit qualified personnel. Services such as oDesk and Elance make it relatively easy for entrepreneurs to hire and pay whatever they want for freelance talent.
So is the commercial real estate market about to take a nosedive in Montreal with everyone working from home? Not likely.
Professional firms like banks and law firms will never have employees working from home, it's not their culture," says Jeff Sinsofsky, senior leasing manager for Oxford Properties Group. "However, companies like Telus and Bell are moving toward telecommuting for their employees because of the high cost of real estate and to lower their cost per square foot."
Certain types of work will always require workers on the company's premises. But more and more employees are seeking out opportunities to work from home and are finding companies aren't as quick to dismiss the notion as they once were.
"You'll never be able to work from home unless you go ahead and bring up the topic with your employer," Wiedenhoff says. "If you're serious about it and you're prepared to work hard from home, then I say go for it."
Matthew Ross is a communications and PR consultant.

Doolittle moves past minor calf injury
PHOENIX -- Sean Doolittle got through his Monday bullpen session pain-free, putting the left-handed reliever back on track at A's Spring Training following a mild left calf strain.
Doolittle, in fact, hasn't felt any discomfort for three days, allowing him to take to the mound without hesitation. For him, the bigger question mark was how his arm was going to feel a full week after his last bullpen session.
The answer: Just fine.
"It feels great," Doolittle said. "It feels really good. I was disappointed with the way I located things today, but the way my body felt, the way my arm felt, it was real free. After having a full week off, I was real pleased with the way things felt."
"All we were looking for was to make sure he's OK, and no problems with him," said manager Bob Melvin. "We didn't feel like it was a big problem, but this early in spring you always want to make sure you're proactive and give him an extra day."

Adobe has released an out-of-band security patch for Flash Player to fix a critical zero-day vulnerability that is being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability allows attackers to remotely take control of the affected system. Once they have control the attackers can install malware and recruit the affected PC into a botnet. Adobe was forced into issuing an immediate patch to the problem as an exploit for this vulnerability exists in the wild and is being used by attackers. Adobe recommends that users update Flash Player on their PCs immediately.
Because of an Integer underflow, that is present in Flash Player before 11.7.700.261 and 11.8.x through 12.0.x before 188.8.131.52 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 18.104.22.1686 on Linux, remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on a victim's PC. However Adobe did not include any details about how the vulnerability is being exploited.
Adobe did however thank two researchers from Kaspersky Lab for reporting the vulnerability. There is speculation that the vulnerability could be related to "The Mask" an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) that a Kaspersky Lab Expert wrote about recently. The Kaspersky post references Adobe Flash in the context of a long-running cyber espionage campaign that Kaspersky says it will present more about during the next week at the Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit 2014.
In response to Adobe's update Google has released Chrome 32.0.1700.107 for Windows, Mac and Linux with an updated version of the embedded Flash Player. Microsoft likewise has updated Internet Explorer 10 and 11 on all supported editions of Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows RT 8.1.
Apple has released an update to its web plug-in blocking mechanism to disable all versions prior to Flash Player 188.8.131.52. If OS X users try to view Flash content in Safari they will see a "Blocked Plug-in" alert unless they have updated to the latest version of Flash Player.

I don't think so - likely your top list was posted somewhere new. Hopefully it will die off soon
In the last 2 days, I have declined something like 15 or so blogs in what I think is Italian. The first sentence of our Rules is that the blog must be in ENGLISH!
Is this some kind of spam bot getting through?
I don't think so - likely your top list was posted somewhere new. Hopefully it will die off soon
Still declining more this morning. Just time I'd rather spend doing something productive, but glad you don't think it's a bot. Thanks!
If it doesn't stop over the next couple of days let me know please
I'm still getting the Italian applications, although not as many as it was at first.
Can you leave a couple in your queue and let me know?
It is the same sites over and over again?
I'll leave them, but I really don't think it's the same site over and over, although I did notice that several were from the same person. I'll just let them build up for a few days so you can see if there is a pattern.
Can't really see a pattern so far but I put an IP address track in there so I can see where the signups are coming from.... if I find it's the same one, I'll put a ban on them.
Thanks, Dave. You are Johnny on the Spot!! I came to tell you I had kept a few, and you've already checked them. I'll just keep on leaving them there until you tell me to delete them.
There haven't been very many coming in lately.... I deleted the ones in the queue... but if you can leave any new ones that come in, that'd be great.

Cowboys LB Sean Lee likely out for season
IRVING, Texas >> Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee could miss the 2014 season after tearing a ligament in his left knee in the first offseason practice.
The team hasn't announced results of an MRI but reported on its website Wednesday that Lee has been told he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
The oft-injured Lee went down during the 11-on-11 portion of Tuesday's practice. His left leg slid out from under him as rookie guard Zack Martin was closing in for a block, and Martin rolled over him.
With Lee's injury and the release of franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboys could be without their top two defenders after finishing last in the league in total defense a year ago.
Contact isn't allowed in offseason workouts, but blockers frequently engage linemen and linebackers before plays stop in 11-on-11 drills. Lee was already on his way to the ground when Martin lunged over him.
"I don't really know what happened," said Martin, the Cowboys' first-round pick at No. 16. "Two guys playing hard, running to the ball."
The 27-year-old Lee hasn't played a full season in four years. The middle linebacker has missed 15 games over the past two years, including five of the final six games in 2013 with hamstring and neck injuries.
Lee signed a six-year extension worth up to $51 million last year, but durability-based incentives are built into the deal. He's already likely to miss out on a bonus in 2015 for not playing enough snaps in 2013 or the coming season.
When healthy, Lee is among the most productive linebackers in the league, leading his position with 11 interceptions since entering the league in 2010 despite missing 18 games. But his injury history dates to his college days, when he also tore a knee ligament during offseason workouts. The right knee injury in spring practice in 2008 kept him out that season, pushing his senior year to 2009.
The Cowboys had a first-round grade on him for the 2010 draft but got him late in the second round because of the injuries.

Carve the perfect line with our sport collection of motorcycle clothing. We bring the experience we've gained through creating world-class gear for our MotoGP riders and bring them to the streets.
The sport collection embodies our Engineered skin® design philosophy. In the early 2000s, we set out to improve the fit and performance of motorcycle safety apparel. It started with relocating seams on our clothing to areas at lower risk for impact, making the clothing stronger and more comfortable. For example, if the elbow or seat seam was moved just a little bit over, you still would get all the flexibility/safety you need but none of the discomfort of having a seam that could rub against your skin, causing chafing and unwanted friction.
Additionally, durable, flexible and abrasion-resistant materials are placed at key areas for maximum protection while maintaining comfort and freedom of movement. And applying stretch material – like our Kevlar stretch panels - in these areas helps REV'IT! strike a perfect balance in its garments between wearability and safety.
You'll also find dual comp protectors throughout our sport collection. The dual comp protectors consist of a 3D, pre-shaped honeycomb structure of TPU material, topped by a high-impact aluminum shield for ultimate sliding performance. In the case of a slide, the aluminum shield will slide freely over asphalt without grabbing on the ground and potentially producing serious injury.
Take a closer look at some of our sport collection style and you'll notice something a little different. You'll see that we use the durable Monaco cowhide but it comes with a twist. We've embossed it with hexagonal pattern, giving it a one-of-a-kind appearance and aerodynamic edge.
Whether you're looking for the perfect jacket, a jacket-and-trousers set, or a one-piece, look no further than our sport collection. Innovative safety and style are both standard features on all of our sport garments.

text: I've owned plenty of smokers in my short-ish time as a motorcycle enthusiast, mostly vintage air cooled. I recently picked up a 1966 Suzuki S32-2 (150cc 2 cylinder) which had not run since 1984. After cleaning the carbs real well, and sourcing a new gas tank and battery, she fires right up, and runs great. When I pulled the carbs apart I set the floats, cleaned everything thoroughly, and reassembled. At first the left cylinder wasn't firing, I cleaned the exhaust out on that side (FILLED with oil) and ran her, cleared her out, and leaned the carbs out a bit (to around 1 3/8 turns out) and both seem to be hitting well. While I haven't actually checked compression with a gauge (don't have one in the tool box ATM) both seem to have good compression via the old finger-in-the-plug-hole method. However, after even a short ride around the block a few times, when I come back to the house, the heads/jugs seem pretty darn hot. They steam a bit, which I think is just burning off the little bit of dirt/dust/etc that had accumulated on them over the last 30 years. I have an infrared temperature gun and was hoping someone could give me, or direct me to, what a general range for head/jug temperatures are for a well-warmed vintage 2 stroke. I know that many of them required high octane gas when new, which often times is not available nowadays. I'm running 92 octane ethanol-free at the factory recommended 20:1 ratio. Info on these old bikes is few and far between, as there are not many around anymore, and even fewer on the road. If no temp ranges are available, is there any octane booster that actually WORKS as they say they do? I know most of these products are total crocks, and have never bothered using them. Any help is appreciated.

MLB All-Star Game managers name coaching staffs
Ron Gardenhire will be in the dugout with the AL All-Stars at his home stadium.
The Minnesota manager was chosen along with Cleveland's Terry Francona as coaches to join AL manager John Farrell of Boston in the July 15 All-Star game at Target Field.
For the NL, manager Mike Matheny of St. Louis chose Clint Hurdle of Pittsburgh and Fredi Gonzalez of Atlanta as his coaching staff.
Francona has himself managed the AL team before -- in 2005 and 2008. In that second one, Farrell served as his pitching coach for the game. Gardenhire, who has managed the Twins since 2002, has been an AL coach in 2003 and 2007.

Septum piercing (27/05/10)
Having not had a piercing since my labret, I found myself bitten by the bug once more when I moved back down to Portsmouth. My labret was my first piercing and though Portsmouth is not my home town, I am far more familiar with the various piercing studios here than back at home so it made sense to wait till I was back here... even if that was a year and a half.
My labret was my first piercing ever and ever since then I have been thinking of getting more, but couldn't decide what I wanted. Unlike with my labret, there weren't any that I REALLY REALLY wanted in the same way as my labret. Then I came across the septum. Well, I say came across... more seriously began to consider it. I know several people with this piercing and admired it on them, but wasn't sure if it would suit me. After thinking on it for several months I thought 'sod it. I don't care if it doesn't suit me, I'm going to go for it.' So I found myself heading out of the house this morning (27/05/10) to go get it done.
I headed to the place that did my labret (Lady Luck Tattoo Studio on Fawcett Road) as I'd had an awesome experience there (Lisa is lovely) and it had been recommended by several of my pierced friends. Alas it was not to be... Lisa couldn't do the piercing for me (either because she didn't have the jewelry for it, or wasn't willing to do it. Which it was I'm not entirely sure.) I was rather disappointed as I was really looking forward to the piercing... until Lisa recommended another nearby studio- Body Images on Fratton Road.
I had my reservations as I had not heard all that much about them, but figured that since Lisa was recommending them to me, they really couldn't be all that bad. So off I toddled down the road. The studio doesn't look like much from the outside, but once inside I was pleasantly surprised. It was light, bright and clean with walls covered in some AMAZING tattoo art. I filled in the paperwork, paid for my piercing (£30 though it cost me £24 as I had a valid student I.D.) and waited to be called through to the piercing room.
Sarah (I think that was her name... definately began with an S, but her name has just gone from my head. Sorry! She had awesome blue hair though, which has made me miss mine... no doubt I'll end up dyeing it in a week or so :P) was lovely, and really reassuring. She has several facial piercings herself, including 2 septums so was able to talk from experience. I don't know about anyone else, but I am found myself less nervous given that she had several piercings herself. (Lisa at Lady Luck did not have any facial onces at the time- she had had them in the past as I found out after chatting to her once she had done my labret- and I found that that made me more nervous for some entirely irrational reason.)
She had everything laid out on a tray when I came through, ready to go, though she had not opened the sterile bags. She did all of this in front of me so I could see that everything was clean and sterile. While she was doing that she had me blow my nose and then clean round the inside of it with an alcohol wipe. Note to self: Alcohol wipes smell REVOLTING... don't breathe in through nose when using one.
Once I had recovered from the trauma of inhaling the alcohol, she had me sit down and tilt my head back. She tried to mark a place on my nose, but couldn't comfortably reach, so I had to slouch down slightly :P Once that was done she put the clamps on, warning that they would probably be incredibly uncomfortable and to tell her if they were too painful. After clamping she talked me through the piercing process itself and warned me that it may be rather painful; there would certinaly be tears, even if there was no pain due to the nerves and stuff in the nose. After chatting to me for a bit to reassure me, she got ready to pierce... she checked I was ready and asked me to take a deep breath in and then slowly breathe out. As I was breathing out she started to pierce.
I was prepared for it to hurt... and hurt it certainly did! I was prepared for the eye watering and stuff though and couldn't help giggle slightly at the pain (yeah I deal with pain in a weird way) and at my eyes watering. Once the needle was through and she took the clamps off, there was next to no pain at all, it stung a little but that was it. I think the majority of the pain I felt was from the clamps :P. Either way, she snipped off the plasic tube a little and gathered up the jewelry. It was a weird experience seeing something sticking through my nose... though not quite as weird as the feeling of being like a fish on a hook when I had my labret pierced. She fed the ring through, warning that it would sting as she did it. I think that hurt more than the actual piercing. I started sneezing like crazy once she had fed it through, which amused her- apparently she did exactly the same thing, and she was glad I had contained the sneezing till it was all the way through.
Once she had put the ball in and cleared everything up, she talked me through the aftercare. This was a pleasant surprise as after my labret, they just gave me a printed sheet and sent me on my way. Here, I was actually talked through everything, and even show how to clean it and stuff (she demonstrated on herself, which was really helpful.) and also told me how to deal with it if it started looking a little crooked once any swelling had gone down, to stop it healing wonky. She also gave me a printed sheet so i had all the info to hand. She warned me about swelling and stuff and told me to come back to the studio at any time if I had any questions or concerns about my piercing or wanted the jewelry changing once the piercing was healed. She talked me through the choices once it was healed and was generally pretty awesome, dealing with all my questions.
I am incredibly pleased with this piercing. I love it already. It looks a little crooked at the moment, though that is definately due to some slight swelling rather than it being done wonky. It definately hurt way more than my labret, but the pain wasn't unbearable. I would recommend this piercing to anyone. I would also really recommend Body Images to anyone considering piercings. Though I had not heard much about the studio and hadn't really noticed it, (I walk past it most days) it proved to be an amazing studio with really professional, friendly staff and was as clean as clean could be. I'm going to be going there for all of my piercings from now on and may even go there for my tatts :P. It definately wont be a year and a half till my next piercing that's for sure!

All-Star Game was the apple of Mets' eyes
Organization basks in glow after successful week of events
NEW YORK -- If the Mets did not understand what a massive undertaking hosting the All-Star Game would be, they learned first-hand last summer in Kansas City. A large contingent of Mets executives descended upon Kauffman Stadium, shadowing their counterparts in the Royals organization for days.
There, the Mets learned how to throw a party.
Of course, there is nothing quite like a New York party, in scope or gravity, and the Mets knew that heading into All-Star week at Citi Field. They also feel that they succeeded.
"When you think about the number of moving parts that go into this, the number of people in the ballpark … there's so much work that goes into it," said Mets senior vice president of marketing and communications David Newman. "At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter what any of us think. If the fans had a good time and people tuned in to watch the game, and there was this general buzz [surrounding everything], then that's a pretty good week."
Fans certainly watched in unprecedented numbers, from the Citi Field-record 45,186 who came out to Tuesday's All-Star Game, to the nearly-as-large crowd that witnessed Monday's Home Run Derby.
It helped that two of the game's brightest starts, David Wright and Matt Harvey, just so happened to be Mets.
"This is kind of how I remember October baseball being," Wright said. "It's a shame that I've only been there once [in 2006], and have very distant memories of it. But baseball means so much more to New Yorkers. This is, in my eyes, the greatest baseball stage in the world. To be able to come show off the best players in the game is obviously special for us, special for the city, special for the fans, and that rubs off on the hometown players."
For Wright, the week's lasting memories will be mingling with players in the National League clubhouse, greeting fans at the All-Star Red Carpet Parade, and, of course, basking in the ovations he received at Citi Field. In New York, Wright's reputation is unassailable.
For Harvey, the chance to participate in an All-Star Game for the first time is what he will remember. It was a formal initiation into the ranks of baseball's elite.
For so many other members of the Mets organization, the week was an opportunity to showcase more than a year's worth of hard work.
"I think it's been more intense [than we thought]," chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said. "It's one of those things that it's more intense when you're going through it. When you look at it from afar, it just kind of looks like it happened. When you're going through it, though, it's tough. And it's big."
Casual observers might not notice how much goes into All-Star week beyond the game itself. For months leading up to the game, the Mets partnered with Major League Baseball on charity initiatives throughout the city, hoping to create what Newman called a "lasting impact." To that end, the Mets donated money to a Boys & Girls Club in Queens, helped renovate a park in the Rockaways, raised money for Welcome Back Veterans, and so much more.
Then came All-Star Sunday, with the Futures Game -- in a way, a dry run for the Midsummer Classic itself -- and celebrity softball event. Then the Home Run Derby, the Red Carpet parade and finally the All-Star Game, with so many logistical challenges in between.
So it was incredibly rewarding for the Mets to see the tens of thousands who came out to support their efforts, and the millions more who watched on television.
"It's been great for us, but it's even better for the fans," Wilpon said. "The fans needed to be here and see everything and be part of it."
On Wednesday morning, Mets employees woke up to the reality that their party was finally over. A year from now, all eyes will turn to Minnesota, where the Twins -- after spending this week shadowing their counterparts at Citi Field -- just as the Mets did in Kansas City -- will play host.
Eyes tired, Wright admitted that he was looking forward to sleeping in for once. And who could blame him? A long second half of the season awaits.
"I think it lived up to my expectations and surpassed my expectations," Wright said. "I didn't really know what to expect. It's been a whirlwind 48 hours. But [Wednesday], I'll be able to sleep in, think about the last two days, and probably a big smile will come across my face, because it was a lot of fun."

I really like ActiveRecord and on a recent project I wanted to be able to create fields in my database called 'created_at' and have them automatically filled with the current date at time of insert just as ActiveRecord does. Unfortunatly I was forced to use Perl's Class::DBI* so I came up a simple method of creating the same behaviour.
First, create a parent class that all of your Class::DBI table classes will inherit from:
package DB::DBI;
use base 'Class::DBI';
use POSIX qw(strftime);
#Your connection string will vary:
# Automatically add timestamp to 'created_at' fields.
__PACKAGE__->add_trigger(before_create => sub {
my $self = shift;
$self->can('created_at') and $self->set('created_at', strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime));
Now create a class for each of your tables inheriting from the parent class:
package DB::MyTable;
# Inherit from DB::DBI
use base 'DB::DBI';
__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw/id field1 field2 field3 created_at/);
And now when you do a
DB::MyTable->create({...}) your created_at field will be automatically populated with the current timestamp. Yay!
* And no, I wasn't allowed to use DBIx::Class.

Thanks for the lists. They will come in very handily for us next week when we will be making a final push for this exam. We are still working on the terms but these are marks that my child probably won't get on the day. I can live with that. Her last mock exam mark was 77% so I'm feeling okay about it.

Just wanted to say I found this very useful before doing my Grade 1 in November and here I am again testing myself on both Grade 1 and Grade 2 in time for March. It's great I can just sit at my desk and quietly test myself when I have a few minutes to spare. I will be back to this thread again for further revision as I hopefully move up the Grades.

JTHJ, SRK's best after 'Swades': Big B
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who attended the star-studded premiere of late Yash Chopra's last directorial 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' (JTHJ), can't stop singing praises about the film
He feels lead actor Shah Rukh Khan has delivered one of his best performances. 'Each portion poetry, each artist at his and her best, and for Shah Rukh, his best performance after 'Swades',' the 70-year-old posted on his blog. Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, JTHJ released Tuesday. Bollywood bigwigs came together under one roof at the Yash Raj Films (YRF) studio for the premiere of the movie here Monday night.
Yash Chopra, who took to direction for the movie after a gap of eight years, passed away Oct 21 following dengue and multi-organ failure. The premiere was planned to be a perfect farewell to Chopra, who entertained legions of movie buffs through his 40 years in the Hindi film industry. Amitabh says the studio was done in a magical way just for the premiere.
'The studio floor was converted into a theatre and film projection was conducted there and then. An unbelievable setting of Baroque and modern, tiered as in some prestigious halls anywhere in the world. 'And the film and stand alone theatre built of such period architecture, reflecting the carving original of the columns, and the entire ambience in the style of some old castle in early Europe.
'It was magical... just the way Yashji would have wanted,' Amitabh said. It was a memorable evening for Big B, who worked with Chopra in films like 'Silsila' and 'Deewaar'. 'Danced my shoes off with all the youngsters... an amazing evening... spending time with Salman (Khan), Aamir (Khan), Shah Rukh, Katrina (Kaif) and Anushka (Sharma),' he added.

Bill produced an excellent video where he hits directly on target, right on the root issue of WHO it is that produces our money! Way to go, Bill!
He does an excellent job of calling out the illegal "Fed," along with the IMF, and to that I would add World Bank - all sham and highly undemocratic money from nothing, self-anointed central banking criminals who have never received proper authorization from the people of the planet and in fact are operating against our rule of law as spelled out in our own Constitution! Absolutely, they are literally taking over countries and Bill correctly points out what they have done to both Italy and Greece - their game is to enslave with debt (which they did nothing to create), and then to take over direct control. Money creation is all about power and control.
Donald Trump running a debate? Are you kidding me? Until our nation is conscious enough to start voting for people like Bill Still, we are going nowhere fast. Go Bill, way to get the proper word out!
