...building hybrid clouds that can support any device from anywhere
Hello readers! I have a post that I think will be very interesting to those of you who have wanted to execute PowerShell v3 through Orchestrator and have had issues. The core of Orchestrator (if you didn't already know) was built around an x86 PowerShell base for execution of PowerShell. Meaning, by default if you fired up the Orchestrator Designer, built a quick and dirty Runbook to execute some PowerShell in the "Run.Net" activity that comes with the foundation activities, you would be executing that PowerShell with PowerShell v2 and in an x86 runspace. Some of the newer activities that have been bolted on to integration packs (such as the VMM Integration Pack) have provided a PowerShell activity that provides you the ability to fire off some x64 native code and even better on the server that has the PowerShell modules you need, etc.
Well, with the introduction of PowerShell v3 and some of the coolness around parallel execution using workflow, it started us thinking about how we may combine some parallel execution in Orchestrator leveraging PowerShell v3 and x64. This post starts with an overview of a PowerShell v3 script written to execute in parallel and finishes off with how you would integrate this example into Orchestrator. The integration method, by the way, doesn't limit you to only PowerShell v3, but at this point this method is the only way to get v3 working that we've found.
First step in this example is to provide the script we are using in our demo environment internally (SCDEMO) and give some introduction to that. This PowerShell script is used to "warm up" our IIS sites in our SCDEMO Clouds for demonstration purposes. Essentially, we want to ensure that the IIS site is immediately available when we navigate to it for demonstrations to customers. To do this, we have a URL warm up PowerShell script that is triggered as a component in our provisioning Runbook that kicks off and continues with providing access to a provisioned cloud. We initially configured this as a script to allow for parallel execution against 1 – N clouds (ex: 1 – 200) and ran on a schedule. This script executes in parallel rather than synchronous to allow us to execute the URL warm up against 200 machines (all at once in parallel) in roughly 60 seconds or so, rather than ~60 seconds * 200 URLs synchronously. This buys us speed that we need when we are setting up a demo for a customer. We opted to change this to a single execution script against a single URL but the example still holds true for a scheduled process. The next few sections concentrate on the chunks of the script and what they are doing.
So this section starts off by providing us the ability to either use defaults or take in parameters. Obviously I set my script up to use defaults that work for me. Knock yourself out customizing this for your own needs.
[parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=0,HelpMessage="Specify a base name to use ex: BlogEngine")]
[parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=1,HelpMessage="Specify the number of digits ex: 0000")]
[parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=2,HelpMessage="Specify the domain name to use ex: .foo.com")]
[parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=4,HelpMessage="Specify the number of the server to start with.")]
[parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=3,HelpMessage="Specify the number of the server to end with.")]
This script takes in as parameters
Next, we need to build our array of servers from the parameters we have. We start with initializing the $Servers array using the "@()" to essentially be an empty array ready to receive data. Then we take those parameters in a ForEach-Object loop to build our our array list of servers.
$ServerStart..$ServerEnd| ForEach-Object {$Servers += "$ServerBaseName" + $_.ToString("$ServerDigits") + "$ServerDomain"}
If we used 1 as our $ServerStart and 4 as our $ServerEnd the above would basically build a list that would look a lot like the below
BlogEngine0001.contoso.com BlogEngine0002.contoso.com BlogEngine0003.contoso.com BlogEngine0004.contoso.com
I've put a "Try" and "Catch" just for completeness here. Technically this could be executed without those. Notice the SilentlyContinue as well which is allowing us to continue without throwing errors. We'll capture them anyway in a couple of steps from now. The execution of the workflow happens with the Invoke-URLRequest with the required parameters following. In this case we are sending it the name of the servers (Serverlist) using our array we built ($Servers). Also, we kick this off twice because if a URL was "asleep" we kick this process of again to ensure it "woke up".
try {
$WakeUp = Invoke-URLRequest -Serverlist $Servers -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$FinalResults = Invoke-URLRequest -Serverlist $Servers -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
catch {}
Our main workflow function takes in as a parameter the server list we built (mentioned above) and as output it provides the status of the URL state. If you notice, there is also a ForEach -Parallel statement which indicates that anything that is being processed in this workflow function, will do so in parallel (instead of synchronously). Another note is that $Workflow:myoutput is being used here to gather data within this workflow function and allow it to be updated within the ForEach loop and returned to the main calling script.
workflow Invoke-URLRequest
param([parameter(Mandatory=$True)][String[]] $Serverlist)
ForEach -Parallel ($server in $Serverlist)
$Result = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$server" -UseDefaultCredentials -TimeoutSec 30 -UseBasicParsing
if (($Result -ne $Null) -and ($Result.links[1].href -match "syndication")){ $Alive = $True } Else { $Alive = $False }
$Workflow:myoutput += $server + ":" + $Alive
Return $myoutput
Key points from the above piece of code
Example BlogEngine0001.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0002.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0003.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0004.contoso.com:$False
Example BlogEngine0001.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0002.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0003.contoso.com:$True BlogEngine0004.contoso.com:$False
Since this script is returning failures only when it executes, we need to build a final array of machines that failed so we can leverage this data for alerting in Orchestrator. The below essentially pulls any server name that didn't return a "$True" value for being online and adds it to a failure array. Then outputs the final results into a $OutputResults variable.
ForEach ($Server in $Servers){
if ($FinalResults -notcontains $Server + ":True")
$Failed += $Server
$OutputResults = $null
if (!$Failed) {$OutputResults = "None"} else {$Failed}
For your viewing pleasure, I've provided the complete script below. This script will also live on the TechNet Gallery as a downloadable option for those that just want to borrow anything from it to build their own parallel v3 PowerShell script. Download the script from TechNet Gallery PowerShell v3 Parallel Execution Workflow Script for URL WarmUp to ensure you don't have to deal with "copy / paste" issues.
$ServerStart..$ServerEnd| ForEach-Object {$Servers += "$ServerBaseName" + $_.ToString("$ServerDigits") + "$ServerDomain"}
catch {}
Now that I've gone through this script in a bit of detail to give you an idea of "what is doing what", how do we get it integrated into Orchestrator to leverage in your IT process automation?
To keep this simple, I'll illustrate 2 activities
Below we basically call PowerShell directly via the Command execution option in a Run Program activity using a CMD.EXE /c switch.
Expanded view (by right clicking on the command window and left clicking Expand)
Breaking this down we are doing the following:
Essentially the above is in the format of the below.
cmd.exe /c | powershell.exe -c .\scriptfile.ps1 -ServerStart 1 -ServerEnd 200
As a final piece to this, I said above that we are capturing what machines have a "$False" for "$Alive". Since we may want to do something with that piece of information, one way to control flow is with a Link condition following the activity.
To throw an error and also continue on, we can specify (on the red link shown above) that when Pure Output from the Run Program activity does not contain None, let's do something special. That something special in our case is sending an email with the names of servers that are having an issue. In your case it could be a different action and set of results of course.

Really Nice Post…..
Nice idea to leverage workflow within a new PS session. For those looking for a template to run up-to-date PowerShell from Orchestrator using the Run .Net Script activity rather than the run program method shown here, I put together more info and a template
download that hopefully makes it easier:
Thanks for the comment @Noah Stahl. Always good to see additional perspectives on how to extend Orchestrator into the newer versions of PowerShell. :) Thanks for jumping in and providing ideas.

Call his bluff! During his State of the Union speech when President Obama addressed the gun issue he repeatedly stated, "It deserves a vote!" So let's give him what he wants. Let's have a vote. Let's put everything on the table, let's bet the house, all private gun ownership.
I'll risk everything on the outcome.
But President Obama needs to put everything on the table as well. If he loses the vote he and the Democratic Party leave gun owners alone forever. He never brings up the issue again. No gun bans, no registration, no enhanced background checks, no more demonizing legal guns or legal gun owners. Let's dare President Obama to put up or shut up.
Let's do something unprecedented. Let's have a national referendum about the issue. Mandate every registered voter participate as it will affect every American.
So let's do it, let's call President Obama's bluff. It deserves a vote. But only if he's willing to risk everything he wants us to risk. All or nothing.

Back in the High Life Again
Episode Reviews (7)
Season 3, Episode 19.
Jack is released from prison. He encourages Dylan to invite all his friends to a party, but only Kelly shows up. Dylan tells Kelly that he has chosen her over Brenda, and they kiss in the hotel pool. Dylan and Kelly take Brenda for a walk to inform her of Dylan's decision, and reveal their summer fling. She screams that she will never speak to them again. The financially destitute Jack wants to dissolve Dylan's trust so that he can have access to the money. Dylan goes along with it to show faith in his father. Jim fears that Jack is taking advantage of Dylan. Mel moves out of the Taylor house. David fears that he will no longer be a part of Erin's life, but Jackie invites him to stay with Kelly and her. Nat forgets to place a winning bet for Brandon; in lieu of cash, Brandon asks for his bookie's phone number. Inspired by her trip to the spa, Andrea decides to change her look…but no one can really tell the difference. Pretty good episode. Brenda was incredibly hot in the final scene. =] Not a bad episode, IMO, and I haven't seen many BH episodes.moreless
Brenda is betrayed by the two people she loved the most
I HATE Kelly & Dylan together, and words cannot express just how much. Brenda brings out a romantic, committed side to Dylan like noone else, and it's endearing to watch their romantic journey together throughout Seasons 1 and 2. This is the turning point in the show - perhaps the first big jumping the shark moment - as Dylan chooses Kelly in a rather sleazy scene where they passionately start kissing in a pool. Dylan and Kelly as a couple are not well-liked, they don't do what Dylan/Brenda or Brandon/Kelly do - they don't make us believe that they are truly in love. So having to see Dylan choose Kelly over Brenda is one of the toughest things to have to endure during this show. Shannen Doherty performs top-rate in the episode's end scene, really making us believe in Brenda's heartache as the gruesome twosome shamelessly admit their summer fling. Brenda's "don't ever talk to me again" is a perfect way to end the episode, as she walks away leaving Dylan and Kelly looking unsure about their future as a couple. Memorable episode definitely, unfortunately (if you don't ship DK) for the wrong reason.moreless
Brandon bets on a basketball game, and Dylan makes a choice...just another day in Beverly Hills!
Brenda and Kelly competing to be Dylan's new girlfriend is very dumb. Is their self esteem so low that they need to compete for the attention and affirmation of some guy? Dylan chooses Kelly, and Brenda is crushed. I don't see why Brenda would be so upset, seeing that she is the one who broke it off from Dylan not one but TWO TIMES!! Also, she cheated on him with Rick...come on now, what did she expect? I'm sorry that she got hurt, but oh well...
I don't see what Dylan and Kelly have in common, except for knowing each other since kindergarten, which is all they seem to talk about. Oh and they're both filthy rich.moreless
The start of Dylan and Kelly offically!!!
I love it, one of my favorites!!! YAY Dylan and Kelly!!! The pool scene is the best!! They finally get together!! The whole episode is fantastic def. one of the best in the season. I personally have never liked Brenda and always have been in favor of Dylan and Kelly dating its great!!!! When they had the affair on the beach it was fantastic and then finnaly getting together was great. It is clear that the show wanted the couple to be together. Brenda was never right for Dylan thank goodness Kelly came along. Dylan and Kelly Forever and ever YAYmoreless
The end of Dylan and Brenda. We seethe real Kelly
Dylans father gets out of prison and comes back into his life. Dylan throws a party for him and invites everyone. Brenda's father will not let her attend because he doesn't trust Jack McKay. Brandon doesnt go, because he has a Lakers game he is betting on. No one shows up to the party but Kelly, which leads to Dylan choosing her over Brenda (first come, first serve). Dylan and Kelly make out and go swimming and decide to tell Brenda about their summer fling. Kelly feels guilty (as she should) and at the end they take Brenda for a walk to tell her. They seem shocked by her reaction for some reason, although it is the reaction anyone would expect.moreless
their soulmates...forbidden lovers...their deep...
dats wat makes them exiting...their soulmats..forbidden lovers...thier exiting to watch and a cute couple but i will alwayz luv brenda and dylan together....i couldent believe how they went behind brendas back...if i was brenda i would have slapped kelly and dylan....im very suprised during the show run that brenda and kelly never fought...i wouldent have forgaved kelly and dyan that quick like kelly did.....i probley wouldent have even talked to them ever again.....
the beginning of Dylan and Kelly, yuck
Again, I hate Dylan and Kelly so this episode is extremely painful for me to watch. I think they wrote it very well, but I hate the scene where Kelly and Dylan are swimming and she and Dylan talk about Brenda and the fact that she is not there as they flirt and kiss in the pool, and then when they take Brenda for the walk and tell her about the summer. Brenda was understandably upset, "Look I hate you both never talk to me again"
When Kelly looks hurt as if Brenda had the gall to ask them if they slept together, as if Kelly reputation would not lead to that assumption. And the fact that Dylan told Brenda they all deserved to start from a place that's a little more honest, yeah because he was so honest with her when she came home from Paris! Again not too happy with this episodemoreless

I'm 22 weeks, I've avoived hot teas for the most part until now, is there a good and safe hot tea that you can recommend other than the mother's tea (I didn't like it)
I'm 22 weeks, I've avoived hot teas for the most part until now, is there a good and safe hot tea that you can recommend other than the mother's tea (I didn't like it)
Why can't you have hot tea? I'm a tea drinker, and have been drinking decaf green tea since before I got pregnant... I think you could have anything, as long as you stay within the caffeine ranges. (I switch to decaf to be on the safe side, but that's my personal preference.)
I usually avoid herbals, but that's only because I'm allergic to chammomile and I hate having to read the labels. When I get closer to the third trimester, I might start drinking a monther's tea blend, but not before then. (I think I drank a red roobios(?) throughout my pregnancy with DD, plus an herbal blend given to me by my cousin that was given to her by her midwife.)

I asked my OB this. She said her best advice is to stick to single ingredient teas so you know exactly what you are drinking, for example, peppermint tea or chamomile tea that doesn't have other ingredients added. I found several like that at the regular grocery store! There is a honey chamomile one that I like too that my OB said was fine.
Mommy to an awesome preschooler, a beautiful toddler, and expecting #3!
Thanks. I read a lot about the side effects of teas during the first trimester, I couldn't find one that was completely safe so I just stopped drinking it. I just forget to ask my OB every time I go to see him.
Thanks for the advice, I will try the honey chamomile.
I like Tazo tea in the flavor "Calm." I think it is a decaf herbal tea, but I haven't asked my doctor if the herbs were safe (I only drink it maybe once or twice a month though).
Rooibos tea is safe during pregnancy.

I had a nice mug of Sweet Dreams last night. I love tea but for some reason since the beginning of this pregnancy it has sounded downright disgusting to me. It was soothing to enjoy a mug again last night. I need to research more.
I need to update my signature more often.
I've been drinking tea my whole pregnancy and I really like Bigelow earl gray decaf tea. It's very flavorful.
DD - born 5/27/13
Teas are great for pregnancy. I never stopped drinking teas. The only ones I'm not partaking of now are teas with alot of caffeine and that are on the list of herbals that are dangerous during pregnancy. Check out this link: www.pregnancyandchildren.com/pregna...
My fave lately has been red clover, nettle, and red raspberry brewed together through my coffeepot and then chilled for iced tea with a lil honey or hot if I feel like it. I mostly drink that one cold. Bigelow brand has a really great Pumpkin Spice and a Decaf Chai that has a nice vanilla flavor to it and not the anise that is a no no during pregnancy. That has replaced my coffee in the morning most days- I still get a cup of diesel every now and then. Regular black tea is fine too, but its higher in caffeine than most others so you may just want to limit the cups of it. There are several brands that have "Pregnancy Teas" too. If you research the herbs you most commonly make your own tea out of you can find out if they are traditionally recommended during pregnancy. Chamomille is one of those that I, personally avoid because I've found it on several lists of no no herbs, but then others say its fine. I err on the safe side there and think if there is a question as to the safety I'll say no. There are plenty to choose from. Just think moderation and make the decision that works for you.
With the cold weather thoroughly set in, here in KY, I drink at least a cup or two every day to warm my aching butt up and love iced tea with supper. I've had no ill effects and my OB knows and isn't concerned.
Bottoms up on the tea cups and pinky fingers. Lol. :)

Re: TNG fans please identify yourselves ...
TNG was not the very moment that got me into Star Trek - that honour still goes to being aware of the pop culture phenomenon as a young child, seeing the movies, and faint memories of reruns of the original series in the 80s.
But TNG was something I did see ever since season 1 was first shown on the Beeb in September 1990, and I've been with it ever since, and I remember getting very excited whenever the Borg or the Klingons dominated an episode.
I still watch the repeats on Virgin 1 whenever I can.

Grossly overexposed. On top of that, I got what I can only guess is a nasty scratch of some sort almost dead center of the sheet. Better luck next year for me!

November 28, 2015
HOUSTON (AP) - An accounting clerk for a Houston window-covering
company is accused of siphoning nearly $6 million from her employer
over the past four years -- spending the money on designer
merchandise, trips to Europe and the Bahamas, and on $100,000 worth
of furniture for her house.
Marcia Sinclair worked as an accounts receivable clerk for Gulf
Coast Window Covering for 16 years. She was arrested Monday. The
Houston Chronicle reports that she's being held in the Harris
County Jail in lieu of $12 million bail.
According to court records, the 43-year-old Sinclair deposited
checks meant for the company into her own bank account.
Sinclair's attorney says he plans to fight the bail at a hearing
in state district court scheduled for tomorrow.
Court records show that Gulf Coast Window Covering hired an
auditor after financial discrepancies came to light. Soon after the
auditor began investigating, Sinclair stopped showing up to work.
Prosecutors say Sinclair was charged with the first-degree
felony of theft because of the amount involved. If convicted, she
could face a punishment ranging from probation to life in prison.

The Missouri Mavericks scored three third-period goals to overcome a 2-1 deficit and claim a 4-2 victory over Bloomington Tuesday night at US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, Ill.
The Missouri Mavericks scored three third-period goals to overcome a 2-1 deficit and claim a 4-2 victory over Bloomington Tuesday night at US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, Ill.
The Mavericks ended a four-game road losing streak in assistant director of hockey operations Simon Watson's debut as coach. Mavericks coach Scott Hillman was serving a one-game suspension and turned the coaching duties over to Watson.
When informed that he had the highest winning percentage of any coach in the CHL – 1.000 percent – Watson jokingly said, "That's a good way to go out and turn everything back to Scott."
With the win, the Mavericks maintain their fifth-place spot in the standings. Missouri improved to 33-24-6 and has 72 points, trailing fourth-place Rapid City by two points. Quad City is in sixth with 68 points.
"A big win by the boys, especially scoring three goals in the third period," Watson said. "They took that 2-1 one lead, but we kept fighting back. A win like this, especially a win like this on the road, is a big confidence builder."
Kenton Miller scored twice for the Mavericks, including the game-winning goal, which was part of that third-period three-goal barrage.
After a scoreless first period, the Blaze took a 2-1 lead in the second. Jon Booras opened the scoring just 34 seconds into the middle frame on assists from Brett Lutes and Nicklas Lindberg.
Missouri answered on Miller's first goal of the game when his wrist shot from just above the slot beat Ross MacKinnon stick side. At 13:12 Bloomington took the lead when David Gilbert took advantage of a turnover and beat Mathieu Corbeil, who was out of position after the turnover. Bloomington held the lead going into the third period, but it was all Mavericks in the final frame.
Kellan Tochkin tied the game at two when he jammed home a rebound just 59 seconds into the third. Sebastien Thinel and Miller earned assists on the play, giving Thinel his league-leading 90th point of the season.
Miller grabbed the game winner late in the period when he redirected a pass from John-Scott Dickson and beat MacKinnon. Missouri added an Evan Vossen empty-net goal at 18:40 to make it 4-2.
Corbeil stopped 27 of 29 shots for the victory, and his counterpart was equally as impressive, making 42 saves on 45 shots for the Blaze.
The win gave Missouri an 8-2-0 record against the Blaze this season.
Missouri returns home for the regular season finale and Fan Appreciation Night at 7:05 p.m. Friday against the Tulsa Oilers.
"A huge weekend," Watson said. "The home finale in front of our great fans Friday night, then off to Allen and Wichita on Saturday and Sunday. It should be exciting."
PLAYOFF TICKETS TO GO ON SALE: Mavericks playoff tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Thursday through all Ticketmaster outlets and at the Events Center box office.
Page 2 of 2 - Playoff schedules are to be determined and only playoff games A, B and C of the first round will go on sale. Visit www.MissouriMavericks.com for up-to-date information as it is released.
WRIGHT WINS MAN OF YEAR AWARD: The CHL announced Tuesday that Travis Wight of the Wichita Thunder has been named the 2012-13 Central Hockey League Man of the Year. The award is selected by the CHL front office based on nominations and supporting materials presented from member clubs. The other finalists for the award were Missouri's David Simoes, Bloomington's Jon Booras, Rapid City's Scott Wray and Tulsa's Gary Steffes.

The Rolex Middle Sea Race has now ended in Valletta, Malta for Esimit Europa 2 after the yacht crossed the finish line in first place. The Rolex Middle Sea Race also marked the last challenge of the season for Esimit Europa 2 and her crew.
Esimit Europa 2 - Rolex Middle Sea Race 2011
With another excellent achievement, the crew, already featuring six European nationalities onboard, recorded amazing six fastest times at six attended regattas this year. Line honours at the Rolex Middle Sea Race, one of the most difficult regattas in Europe, demonstrated great performance by the crew, skippered by legendary German sailor Jochen Schümann, and showed the yacht's technological superiority. The 30-meter Esimit Europa 2, which is sailing under the European flag and is sponsored by Gazprom, covered the 606-nautical miles long race in 61 hours 24 minutes and proved once again to be one of the best sailing yachts in the world.
'We have a second amazing season behind us and we have achieved all of the goals we set out for ourselves. I owe a great debt of thanks to my skipper Jochen Schümann and the rest of exceptional crew members, who showed amazing skills in every single regatta. I would also like to thank Mr. José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, our main sponsor Gazprom, European governments and institutions, friends and endorsers, who share our vision of uniting all Europeans through one amazing sailing project', stated Igor Simcic, owner of the Esimit Europa 2.
'In the upcoming months we will carefully analyse the season from many different perspectives, and then we will accept a decision about the next steps. In the meantime we will endeavour for broadening the project in fields of business and diplomacy'. Skipper Jochen Schümann, twice America's Cup winner and four times Olympic medallist, was extremely satisfied with this season's achievements and teamwork onboard Esimit Europa 2:
'The Rolex Middle Sea Race proved once again to be a difficult race with lots of unpredictable situations, tricky winds, thunderstorms and constant sail changes. We are completely exhausted, but very pleased with the result. It is a pleasure to sail with such a professional team, completely devoted to the same goal. Despite we are coming from many different countries, there is a great synergy and friendship among us, therefore I am looking forward to the challenges in the next season'.
Igor Simcic was presented with a Line Honours Trophy by Royal Malta Yacht Club immediately after arrival, while the final prize giving will be held on Saturday, 29th October in the historic Mediterranean Conference Centre.
Esimit Europa 2 set the fastest times at all attended races at six regattas this year – Giraglia Rolex Cup, Palermo – Monte Carlo, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Bernetti Lombardini Cup, Barcolana and Rolex Middle Sea Race.

IMCOM Customer Service Assessment lets customers tell leaders where to focus
April 8, 2010
By Tom Saunders (IMCOM-Europe)
Story Highlights
- The Customer Service Assessment allows individuals to rate the performance, importance of garrison service
- Upcoming survey will build on previous survey data to help IMCOM-Europe officials ensure they're on track in meeting customer expectations
Related Links
HEIDELBERG, Germany -- People who have taken customers surveys only to be left wondering if anyone paid attention to their feedback can rest assured if you take the Installation Management Command Customer Service Assessment that leaders in IMCOM are paying attention.
The Customer Service Assessment is an online annual survey that allows individuals to rate the performance and importance of garrison services, according to Dawn Brlecic, IMCOM-Europe Customer Management Services program manager.
In fact, customers in Europe who took the CSA last fall are helping to shape the services IMCOM-Europe leaders provide to Soldiers, families and civilians.
"IMCOM-Europe cares about continuing to provide the best service possible to Soldiers, families and civilians. By using CSA data, we can help garrison and region leadership understand how customers rated the importance and performance of services in the region and help them focus their efforts on areas rated the lowest in performance and the highest in importance. The customer, in effect, tells leadership where to focus its efforts," Brlecic explained.
The Customer Service Assessment is an annual IMCOM-wide initiative conducted by Customer Management Services. Last year's 2009 CSA survey was the second survey conducted IMCOM-wide, and the first year all 17 garrisons in Europe participated, according to Brlecic. The August 2010 CSA goal is to increase participation in an effort to better represent Europe's customer base.
Brlecic said the upcoming survey will help leadership gather information to conduct trend analysis, thereby determining if improvements have had the intended effect and identifying new areas for improvement and best practices.
The 2009 CSA Europe Region data showed that customers rated Fire/Emergency Services, Religious Services, and Administrative Services as very important and top performing while Army Family Housing, Unaccompanied Personnel Housing, and Pest Control were very important areas needing improvement. Others services requiring garrison leadership attention were Military Personnel Services, Claims, and Transportation Services.
"Customers voiced their concerns about Army Family Housing and as a direct result IMCOM-Europe leadership has organized a very specific housing survey to provide feedback on satisfaction with reconfigured quarters. Leadership will gather information about how families rate the amenities both inside the quarters and the outside living area," said Brlecic.
Other improvements come in many forms, said Brlecic, who explained that sometimes customer dissatisfaction is simply due to service providers not being properly trained to provide the service people expect. Results of the survey may identify professional development opportunities to improve overall services.
The upcoming survey will build on previous survey data and help IMCOM-Europe officials ensure they're on track in meeting customer expectations.
"It's very important that customers realize that we hear them, and we're taking action based on their feedback," said Brlecic. "The upcoming survey in August gives every customer an opportunity to tell leadership how they feel."

Shrink Packaging Systems Corporation: Shrink Packaging Systems Corporation: Retrofit side sealer
New retrofit technology from Shrink Packaging Systems Corp. can significantly improve throughput rates and seal reliability.
The Green Machine is available for high-speed hf/f/s shrink lines and replaces traditional hot-wire sealers with a proprietary low-heat sealing system. Patent-pending technology eliminates resin buildup, component burnout, and seal defects caused by high ambient heat. Digital temperature controller simplifies setup and ensures thin, ultra-strong seals that hold up reliably throughout the distribution chain. Increased seal performance also creates opportunities to reduce film costs, as heavier shrink materials can often be downgauged to thinner Bemis Clysar® polyolefin films.

Nice! This game looks like a lot of fun!
We're now available on STEAM as well as DESURA! Guncraft is a voxel first person shooter that boasts fully destructible environments, the ability to construct individual blocks or full structures in a single click, tons of killstreak rewards such as helicopters, jetpacks, bunker buster missiles, drones, and turrets, and a fully featured map creation tool that also features a Minecraft map importing function (using the Substrate XNA engine). Play traditional modes like Deathmatch and CTF, or never before seen modes like Lava Survival and Siege Mode. On top of that, there are standalone servers, peer hosted servers, eventual clan support and friends lists, in and out of game chat, leaderboards, and much, much more. Guncraft is the fully featured voxel-FPS you've been waiting for. Don't believe us? Play for yourself, free, in our open beta!
The newest patch for Guncraft introduces the brand new game mode, Meteor Survival! Also, we finally have a 100% final release date!
Posted by Darknuke on Jun 17th, 2013
The latest and greatest build of Guncraft is live. Sorry about the delay. Miscommunications were had and figured out. Now you can play to your heart's content!
The biggest addition to this build is Meteor Survival. We went all out on this one. Your goal is to accumulate the most points over the course of the match as meteors rain terror from above, quickly obliterating the map and turning it into a fiery landscape. Be careful, because you do NOT respawn in this. However, if you do die, you can harass and attack living players to earn points after death, so you aren't completely out of the race.
We also added more cheat protection, so rest assured that we are pulling aside hackers, beating them senselessly with our ban hammers, then throwing them out on the street.
So Block and Load Crafties! Guncraft releases on July 11th, 2013 and we will be for sale on Desura, Green Man Gaming, Rain Digital Games, GamersGate and via the official Guncraft website. So what's the next step? Well we still need to get on Steam! So keep upvoting, sharing, playing the game, telling your friends, and spreading the word! We are in the top 25 now and are really pushing hard to get higher so Steam is compelled to choose us.
0.54 Beta 22 - the one where you can run backwards properly
* METEOR SURVIVIAL MODE* The flag can now be used as a melee weapon in CTF
* Added correct directional spawns to all the built in maps
* Added a 'white' block! Have fun with that!
* New skyboxes
* Models now run backwards when you go backwards
* Added Option to disable gamepad vibration
* Optimisations on block particles - needed for meteor mode with all that destruction
* Memory optimisations.
* improved and increased cheat detection... no we're not being any more specific than that!
* Lots of bugs fixed... including minecraft importer now works and volume is not defaulting to 0
