Before she was famous: Bikini girl Sofia Vergara works up a sweat in racy Nineties commercial for a fitness club
She rose to fame as the sassy Colombian bombshell on hit TV show Modern Family.
But before her acting career took off in the U.S., Sofia Vergara modelled in several television commercials including this one - for Bally's Total Fitness.
In the raunchy and revealing ad, shot back in 1998, Sofia, 38, shows off her amazing body along with her naturally blonde hair.
Scroll down for video...
Unearthed video: A TV commercial from 1998 starring a then unknown Sofia Vergara has surfaced
Body of work: The Colombian-born actress began her career as a model and showed off her amazing physique during the 60 second commercial
The star, who was just 26 at the time, can be seen working out in the gym, cycling on a stationary bike and then taking part in a dance class.
Wearing tight fitting and revealing gym gear the actress flaunted her enviable curves as she cruised her way through the gym.
is then seen showing off the results of her hard work in a tiny black
string bikini while showering before heading t hang out around a
swimming pool.
Her naturally blonde hair made her look completely different to the long dark brown waves we are used to seeing on her currently.
Last year the actress discussed dying her hair darker with Self Magazine.
Blonde bombshell: Sofia has naturally fair hair, which she dyes dark brown
Making moves: In the clip Sofia is seen working out on the machines, taking a dance class and then flashing her body in a bikini round the swimming pool
'I'm a natural blonde, but when I started acting, I would go to auditions, and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent - but I had blonde hair, admitted the Colombian born star.
'The moment I dyed my hair dark, it was, 'Oh, she's the hot Latin girl.' I loved it ... Being brunette toned me down a bit.'
Despite showing off her assets during the commercial, Sofia also admitted she wasn't always happy with her body.
'I wanted surgery. I told my mom, 'As soon as I'm older, please take these boobs away. I'm a 34 DD. It's hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper.'
But her feelings changed as she got older and she now embraces her curves.
'I'm grateful I have them, and honestly, they've helped me a lot in my career. And I've always felt sexy.'
Jump start: Two years after the commercial was shot, Sofia began landing bit parts on American TV shows
Call on me: The star was the face of Bally's Gym

Topic: Invasive Plants, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Horsetail Rush invasive in Santa Monica CA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants: I live about 3 miles from the beach in the Santa Monica area and have an 18inch deep planter area in my backyard that is adjacent to my garage. I like the look of horsetail rush. I see it used often in planters adjacent to buildings and think it would work but am concerned if it's roots are aggressive. Any input would be appreciated.
There are 11 members of the genus Equisetum, horsetail, native to North America, of which 5 are native to California. Since they all have similar habits, we will use Equisetum hyemale (scouring horsetail) as an example. According to this USDA Plant Profile map, it is native not only to Los Angeles County, but also to every state in North America, Alaska and provinces in Canada, as well as Greenland, so we can be assured that it will thrive in your area. But that really wasn't what you wanted to know; you were asking if it could be aggressive, so we'll look a little further for that.
We already know that this is a moist places, standing water plant, and is considered definitely invasive in those spots. But we thought that perhaps being planted in a planter would minimize the danger of that. However, before you make a decision, you should read the comments in this Dave's Garden forum on Horsetail scouring rush. It is not a pretty picture.
You can get more information from this article on Equisetum hyemale by Earl J. S. Rook, including the fact that it spreads both by rhizomes and by spores. This sounds like if the right hand don't get you, the left hand will. From the comments we saw, you probably are not too safe thinking you will just give it a try, and see how it does, because apparently, once you have it, you HAVE it.
Generally speaking, we feel that the best way to control invasive plants is to never plant them.

Kimberly-Clark Selects PE International for Sustainability Management
Kimberly-Clark has selected PE International to help manage its corporate-wide sustainability initiatives after identifying between $75 million and $100 million in potential savings.
PE International's SoFi software will track, monitor and report on the air emissions and overall key performance indicator for Kimberly-Clark's energy-saving programs from 105 manufacturing facilities and 50 administrative offices worldwide. It will collect data on all aspects of water consumption and energy use from air emissions to waste generation, landfill management, disposal and the costs associated with all of the expenditures.
With the SoFi software, all five of Kimberly-Clark's business units will now have visibility into the processes allowing them to understand, predict and project energy usage for significant cost savings and generate comprehensive reports needed for internal and external stakeholders, the company says.
Dell Majure, air program leader at Kimberly-Clark, says the company selected the SoFi platform for its visualization capabilities and the ease with which it can handle complex calculations, projections and forecasting.
Kimberly-Clark already uses PE International's GaBi software for product sustainability, the software company says.
Last June, Kimberly-Clark, the Coca-Cola Company, Dow Chemical and Duke Energy were among 24 major companies that agreed to develop a methodology to assign value to the world's forests, freshwater and marine systems. The Corporate Eco Forum and The Nature Conservancy are leading the Valuing Natural Capital initiative, announced at the United Nations' Rio+20 Earth Summit.
Also at the Rio+20 Earth Summit, Kimberly-Clark — which owns brands Kleenex and Huggies — committed to cut the amount of wood fiber it uses from natural forests by 50 percent by 2025.

Jessica Simpson Lands Role on NBC's Semi-Autobiographical Comedy
Already a mother to an eight-month-old daughter and currently expecting her second child, Jessica Simpson shows no sign of slowing down with her career. The pregnant actress/singer has signed up to star on a new NBC comedy series.
The fiancee of former NFL star Eric Johnson (II) will play herself on the yet-to-be-titled show, which is inspired by her colorful life. "Fashion Star" executive producer Ben Silverman will co-produce the pilot presentation with Simpson's father Joe and Nick Bakay.
"We are thrilled to team up with the multitalented Jessica Simpson to bring this new sitcom to life on NBC as she is truly a modern-day Lucy with incredible comedic chops," says Silverman. "From running a fashion empire to wrangling her public image as a new mom, we see Jessica's character approach a variety of 'everyday' circumstances that will get audiences laughing out loud."
Simpson also gushes, "I am so excited to work with Ben and NBC again, this time on a scripted comedy. I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life, so between the real-life elements and a great team of writers, I think we'll have people laughing."
Bakay, who penned 2009's action comedy film "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", will provide the script for the comedy pilot, which marks Simpson's second attempt in scripted TV show. She previously starred on ABC's pilot "Jessica", but it never saw the light of the day.
Simpson's other acting credits include roles in feature films "Employee of the Month" and "The Dukes of Hazzard", as well as guest appearances on TV series "That '70s Show" and "The Twilight Zone".

Venomoth (Jungle 13)
Venomoth (Japanese: モルフォン Morphon) is a Grass-type Stage 1 Pokémon card. It was first released as part of the Jungle expansion.
Card text
Pokédex data
|Venomoth - Poisonmoth Pokémon
|4'11" (1.5 m)
|28 lbs. (12.5 kg)
|Pokédex entry
|The dust-like scales covering its wings are color-coded to indicate the kinds of poison it has.
Release information
This card was included in the English Jungle expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Jungle expansion as only a Holofoil card. The Non Holofoil print of this card was later reprinted in the English Base Set 2 expansion.
- Although this Pokémon is level 28, Venonat does not evolve into Venomoth until level 31.
- Early prints of the Unlimited Holofoil version were printed without the Jungle set symbol. This error was corrected later in the print run.
Shift's and Venom Powder's Japanese names are that of Color Change and Shield Dust, respectively, Abilities later introduced in the Generation III Pokémon games; Venomoth can have Shield Dust but cannot have Color Change. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.

Tags: sun exposure, medical myths, skin cancer
The report says too much sun exposure can cause deadly skin cancers, serious sunburn, cataracts, skin aging and other ailments, and encourages the use of sunscreen and avoidance of tanning salons.
"We all need some sun, but too much sun can be dangerous -- and even deadly," says Dr. Maria Neira, Director for Public Health and the Environment at the WHO.
However, natural health advocates say that sun exposure -- which naturally produces healing vitamin D in the skin -- has saved far more lives than 60,000. "No life at all would be possible on this planet without the sun," said Mike Adams, a consumer health advocate and proponent of the healing powers of natural sunlight. "To teach people to be afraid of the sun is harmful health advice that will ultimately kill more people than it saves. Most people have too little sunlight, not too much."
Since it is often difficult to get adequate levels of vitamin D through diet alone, sun exposure is necessary to receive the full benefits of the nutrient, and in areas of the world that lack regular sunlight, visiting a tanning booth is the next best way for the body to produce vitamin D. "Tanning booths are medical devices," explains Adams. "And the vitamin D produced in response to ultraviolet light is one of the most powerful anti-cancer nutrients known to modern science."
Vitamin D is critical for calcium absorption, as well as prevention of rickets and osteoporosis, and has been shown to prevent many forms or cancer. Medical experts say up to 25 percent of breast cancer deaths could be avoided if women had adequate levels of vitamin D in their systems throughout their lifetime.
Advocates of sun exposure also criticize the WHO's recommendation to wear sunscreen, as most brands of sunblock contain toxic chemicals and reduce the body's ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation, which is the mechanism through which the body produces vitamin D.

Variation in limb proportions between prehistoric Jomon and Yayoi people of Japan are explored by this study. Jomon people were the descendents of Pleistocene nomads who migrated to the Japanese Islands around 30,000 yBP. Phenotypic and genotypic evidence indicates that Yayoi people were recent migrants to Japan from continental Northeast Asia who likely interbred with Jomon foragers. Limb proportions of Jomon and Yayoi people were compared using RMA regression and "Quick-Test" calculations to investigate relative variability between these two groups. Cluster and principal components analyses were performed on size-standardized limb lengths and used to compare Jomon and Yayoi people with other groups from various climatic zones. Elongated distal relative to proximal limb lengths were observed among Jomon compared to Yayoi people. Jomon limb proportions were similar to human groups from temperate/tropical climates at lower latitudes, while Yayoi limb proportions more closely resemble groups from colder climates at higher latitudes. Limb proportional similarities with groups from warmer environments among Jomon foragers likely reflect morphological changes following Pleistocene colonization of the Japanese Islands. Cold-derived limb proportions among the Yayoi people likely indicate retention of these traits following comparatively recent migrations to the Japanese Islands. Changes in limb proportions experienced by Jomon foragers and retention of cold-derived limb proportions among Yayoi people conform to previous findings that report changes in these proportions following long-standing evolution in a specific environment.

Compared to many other expensive photo processing software this one for only $29.99 ( the price of a memory card ) is fairly decent.
Thanks for looking, Pierre

Jay-Z Opens His 40/40 Club at the Barclays Center
Jay-Z threw a star-studded grand opening party of his 40/40 club & restaurant at the brand new Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday night, September 27. Looking dapper in a tux and bowtie, the rapper welcomed his close friends and family to the hot spot.
The likes of Rihanna, J. Cole and Lyor Cohen were spotted supporting him at the launching party. It took place one day before the Jiggaman officially christened the multi-billion dollar complex in an eight-night live concert starting Friday.
"I walked around here earlier and I just seen everybody busy and at work trying to finish up and it was a great feeling," he gushed. "A guy stopped me in the hallway and said, 'Man this is a great thing for New York City.' And that's what the whole thing was about."
"Yeah I think I'm the American dream," he added. "That whole thing that you could come here and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, like that whole thing what America has always put up to the world that we represent. I feel that. Yes, I've lived that."
The Barclays Center boasts 101 luxury suites, four bars and lounge destinations, three clubs, and eight retail shops. It will house concerts by Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa, Rihanna, Green Day and Barbra Streisand, and various sport events like college basketball and boxing events.

How should you go about meeting other singles with the same interests as yourself? Sometimes it seems as though people are busier than ever and not that easy to find the time and the right location to meet interesting singles who have the same interests as you. Why not call the Free Chat Line today? Other singles are ready to hear your message and respond You could be talking to someone fun and interesting right now
Thousands of Free singles are enjoying new friendships on the Free Chat Line. Their complaints about how difficult it is to meet new people are a thing of the past because they have met so many with the same interests. Some Chat Line participants have learned they share common friends or that they used to work in the same company All of them say the same thing; Free Chat Line has transformed their lives. They are happier, and they walk around with a smile, when they remember all the fun and good times they've had on the Free Chat Line. Don't you want to join this happy group?
Remember that most people in this world have great intentions, some people are opportunists and don't tell the full truth about who they really are and what they want. For this reason, it's a good idea to take your time in getting to know people. You should not trust someone from the first conversation. Don't tell anyone your address, phone number, or other personal information, such as where you work. Don't accept invitations to leave the Free Chat Line.Have Fun, But Stay Safe
Calling the Free Chat Line is easy. You simply call and pick one of the four options. You may choose to record a personal message, listen to personals left by other singles, or you can connect with other singles. It's easy and hassle free!
Free Chat Line is a fantastic place to meet people, and you are certain to make a lot of new acquaintances and have a great time, but remember to stay safe. That means have fun with people but do not meet people outside of the Free Chat Line. Don't give people a way to enter your life. As in any other life situation, only after extensive knowledge about another person should you make the move of getting to know someone personally. And before you do that you have to verify key things about the person you want to meet, and what he or she has told you. First and foremost be smart and aware.

i've got an array, and i want to shuffle those according to a certain pattern (i'm trying to make a rubics cube in javascript). I want to assign value2 to value 1 and value 1 to value 3 and value 3 to value 2. I can do that within 4 lines of code, but is there a shorter way? like:
temp = var3; //make temporary variable
(var3 = var2) = var1;//put var2 in var3 and var3 in var1
var1 = temp;//put var3/temp in var1
i know that it doesn't work this way, but do you guys know a way it does work? that would be usefull when cycling 8 variables.
thanks, Tempestas Ludi.

I like the dinner / coffee shop ideas. I don't mind driving up if it is going to be in the evening, around 7pm.
For presentations, maybe one might be on how we incorporate our faith in our work. I'm sure I could put some of my thoughts together on the subject and present.
Another topic I can think of is how to talk to others in church who are afraid that science would displace their faith. I know many people who are extremely skeptical of anything to do with science, because they believe that science takes away from what God does in the world.
If I think of more, I'll post again.

So cute! Love the bird with the nest too. I may have to make some wire nests.
This is really cute…really cute!!
Simply fantastic!
Very cute! Love your wire work in the nest!
Adorable! I need to learn how to make wire nests too!
Very clever nest idea. Fantastic wirework.
I struggle with wire wrapping, sigh.
I just saw these over on your blog…super cute!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the little nest, it's adorable! I'm currently waiting on some green kyanite beads to do a brass bird themed necklace, myself. I love seeing your work, it's so inspiring!
Perfect for spring and Easter, I've been working on the bird nests myself, a little bit bigger to decorate the Easter table
This is adorable!! Perfect for Spring!
Thanks for your kind words, everyone! Looks like I'm not the only one with Spring Fever…if you're interested in how to make a bird nest, there are several good tutorials on line. Just google "bird nest jewelry tutorial".
This is marvelous. I see you have a web site but didn't see prices nor how to purchase them. I looked for FreshBaked on etsy and found nothing there.
This is really beautiful and cute, love the wired nest!
This is a little "out of season" but here's a quick tutorial on making wire wrapped birds' nests I did a while back… http://www.limabeads.com/store.....gn?d=10745
Love the birdie sitting on her nest! Spring can't get here soon enough!!
Thanks, Ali, for the resource for the bird nest. Of course, I should have known you'd have a great one.

Satellite Imagery Shows Sudan Maintains Infantry in Border Zone
New satellite imagery reveals that in Sudan Armed Forces, or SAF, maintains military units within the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone in violation of Sudan and South Sudan's September 2012 agreements to remove all armed forces in the zone. DigitalGlobe imagery taken in July 2013 shows infantry presence in the Sudanese towns of Keri Kera and al Miquenis.
Satellite Imagery Confirms Sudan's Indiscriminate Bombardment of Civilians
WASHINGTON -- New satellite imagery confirms that Sudan Armed Forces, or SAF, indiscriminately bombarded a marketplace and civilian residential areas in the Abu Kershola district of South Kordofan, Sudan, where rebel forces had overrun a SAF garrison in April. The May 15 imagery, analyzed for the Satellite Sentinel Project, or SSP, by DigitalGlobe's Analytics Center, shows 20 craters – including four apparently caused by artillery shelling and 16 consistent with aerial bombardment – along with damage to and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
Hunger and food insecurity have been far too common in Sudan. As severe drought and famine swept through East Africa in the 1980s, the Sudanese acutely felt the effects of these deprivations. Darfur, in particular, was one of the most drought-affected regions. About 20 years later, at least 180,000 Sudanese died from hunger and related disease during the Darfur genocide in 2003 and 2004. Many that survived the conflict still live in IDP camps, where daily life is incredibly difficult, especially for vulnerable groups such as women and children, who sometimes go the entire day without eating.

Soon after South Sudan devalued its currency in December 2015, the central bank authorized the auction of U.S dollars to commercial banks to offset the cost of devaluation, which had caused the South Sudanese pound to lose its value by 84 percent. Millions of dollars were auctioned to the commercial banks as a result of this move.

As conditions for ordinary South Sudanese people continue to deteriorate, government mismanagement is combining with economic and political crises to create a "toxic situation," according to a newly published briefing report by NOOW partner the Enough Project.
The report, "Addressing South Sudan's Economic and Fiscal Crisis," calls for action by the international community, and also for commitment by the warring parties to put the needs of the people ahead of their own. The country's population currently suffers from severe shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies.

Today's Devotional
VictoryWhat battles are you facing these days?
Top Music Videos
Good Ground
Luke 8:11-15
The seeds that fell on the
good soil represent . . . people who hear God's
word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge
harvest (v.15).
At dusk, I left the house with a fistful of wildflower
seeds. I crossed the street and tossed them into
the open field adjacent to our home. I waited all
summer for the flowers to bloom, but all that grew was a
monster thistle bush, milkweed, and some prairie grass.
Since then, I've learned a bit about gardening. I now
know that my silly experiment was doomed to fail
because seeds prefer soil that is moist, free of weeds,
and deep enough to accommodate their roots. They need
good ground.
In the parable of the sower, Jesus said that we
are good ground for the gospel when we hear and
understand God's Word. While most people get the gist
of the gospel, not everyone understands it. For example,
recent studies show that many professing Christians don't
believe Jesus is the only way to eternal life. Our world
wants us to be cool with Christ, as well as other religious
leaders, teachings, and practices. That's not what it looks
like to understand the gospel.
Those of us who comprehend the good news and
"cling to it" are supposed to bear fruit, patiently
producing "a huge harvest" (Luke 8:15). Spiritually
speaking, our lives should be characterized by Christlike
righteousness (Philippians 1:11). Over a lifetime of
experiences, our spiritual yield of righteousness should
multiply. Jesus said, "When you produce much fruit, you
are My true disciples" (John 15:8).
We can consider ourselves good ground for the gospel if we understand that
God sent His only Son to take the punishment for our sin, and that Christ alone
is the way to eternal life (John 14:6). Then we can bear the fruit of a changed
life—one that produces "thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had
been planted" (Matthew 13:23). —Jennifer Benson Schuldt
Read Colossians 1:3-7
to learn what happens
when people receive
the good news. Read
Matthew 13:19-23 to
find out how people
can become sidetracked
from living fruitful
Christian lives.
How have you changed
since receiving Jesus as
your Savior? Why are
we sometimes satisfied
with bearing just a little
fruit? What should be
our goal?

A security guard at a local "pill mill" is facing up to 20 years in prison after a guilty plea in Federal Court.
Kenneth Edwards appeared before Federal Magistrate Bill Carter.
Edwards will be sentenced on June 9 by Judge Sandy Mattice on his plea to unlawful distribution of a controlled substance. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Edwards was employed at Superior One Pain Clinic and later at Elite Care Pain Clinic, both in Chattanooga, in 2011. Superior was owned by Faith Blake and her mother. After it closed in July 2011, Ms. Blake opened Elite Care, which operated until November 2011.
Prosecutors said the clinics operated on a cash only basis and large numbers of patients were seen on a daily basis, almost all of whom were prescribed controlled substances.
Edwards said he met Ms. Blake when he was working as a bouncer at the Electric Cowboy. She offered him a job.
He said he would be prescribed pills at the clinic and he would transfer them to Ms. Blake. He said Ms. Blake was receiving oxycodone from others as well as abusing the drug.

We go to the ring for introductions. Chavo and Hernandez come to the ring as we see a replay from the 3-way from last week. Hector Guerrero is shown on Spanish commentary. Kurt Angle makes his entrance with AJ Styles.
Kurt Angle vs. Chavo Guerrero
They lock up and Angle goes behind but Chavo applies a headlock. Angle hits a side suplex but Chavo hangs on. Angle gets out and hits boots in the corner. Chavo turns it around and lands uppercuts. Angles scouts and hits a nice back bodydrop. Angle goes back to boots in the corner. Chavo tries to fight back but Angle drops him with a vicious clothesline and a gut wrench for 2. Angle hits a Tilt-A-Whirl across the knee and gets another 2. Chavo fights back and hits a sloppy head scissors takedown. Chavo hits a dropkick and rolls over Angle and makes the cover for 2. Angle hits an over the head release suplex. Chavo counters the Angle Slam attempt and hits a hurricanrana and sits down for 2. Chavo hits a suplex but Angle breaks it and hits his own trio. Angle goes for an Ankle Lock but Chavo kicks him off and finishes the 3 Amigos (4 total). Chavo goes up top but misses with the Frogsplash. Angle hits the Angle Slam and pulls down the straps. Hernandez distracts him and Chavo rolls Angle up from behind for the win.
Winner by pin: Chavo Guerrero
Angle and Chavo get into a shoving match and AJ and Hernandez get involved. Daniels and Kazarian sip martinis on the ramp and look on. Chavo invites them in the ring and says they have his belts. We see a vignette for King Mo as Tenay says we will hear from him tonight. We go to commercial.
We're back and Douglas Williams is introduced followed by Zema Ion.
X-Division Championship: Zema Ion (c) vs. Douglas Williams
Ion goes right at Williams but stops to take off his jacket and they go back and forth Williams kicks him in the face and sends him to the outside with a clothesline. Williams follows but Ion sends him into the steel post. Back in the ring, Ion viciously pulls back on Williams' arm for the win. Ion won't break the hold so the ref reverses the decision.
Winner by disqualification: Douglas Williams
Ion grabs the mic and tells Hogan and Sting he knows he's 1st on their list but they should take him off because he's too pretty and too f'n dangerous. We go to Taz and Tenay who say the main event is official for tonight: Hardy vs. Bully vs. Aries. Tenay sends to a video package for King Mo. We see him shadow-boxing on his way to the ring as we go to commercial.
We're back and Bruce Prichard is showing D-Lo Brown some footage of a live event of Matt Morgan kicking a ref in the face. Prichard asks how long it's been since Morgan has been seen in a TNA ring. D-Lo says 6 months. Prichard blames D-Lo and tells him it can never happen again.
We go to the ring as James Storm makes his way to the ring. Storm says we are 10 days away from Bound for Glory. He says he going there to prove that he is the better man. He says Hogan has inserted a special enforcer in that match. Roode's music hits and he comes on the stage and says he doesn't give a damn about King Mo. He says Storm has been jealous of him from the beginning. He says this will be a fight and he will not be satisfied until he has ended Storm's career and no man can do anything about it. King Mo's music hits and he comes out behind Roode. Roode gets in Mo's face and touches his robe, chain, and crown. Roode pushes Mo back and Mo answers with a shove that puts Roode on his a**. Roode begs off as Mo walks to the ring.

SILICON SLOPES, UT--(Marketwired - August 04, 2014) - Today Domo announced Rhodes Bake-N-Serv, a leading manufacturer of frozen bread and rolls in the U.S., has chosen Domo to deliver fresh business insights from its data to help improve business manufacturing processes and productivity.
As a leader in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry since 1958, Rhodes Bake-N-Serv has always been dedicated to delivering America's Favorite Frozen Dough. Through the years the company has developed high-efficiency manufacturing processes but none were fully optimized until they decided to use Domo.
"With Domo, we can monitor every single batch we produce," said Ty Tolman, process improvement manger at Rhodes Bake-N-Serv. "We've always done this but that information lived in spreadsheets. The data was a week behind and if something went wrong it would take us a month to discover there was a problem. Now we can identify a problem in two seconds. It literally just takes me the amount of time it takes to pull up a chart. That kind of visibility is huge."
But Rhodes is saving more than just time and money. Domo is helping them save countless man hours every month.
"Reporting meant hours of manual labor before Domo," added Tolman. "We did all our reporting in Excel -- we did it in pivot tables and charts. It was ridiculous to maintain and extremely prone to errors. Now I can use as many data points as I want and have it visible right then in Domo. Domo probably saves me 15 hours a month just in building spreadsheets."
Saving time, money and man hours allows Rhodes Bake-N-Serv to focus on other important aspects of the business as well -- aspects that often get set aside due to time intensive data-related projects.
"We have several monitors displaying Domo in our corporate office where we display things like customer service data," said Tolman. "Now, if a customer is not completely satisfied with a package and calls us up, we can track every one of those phone calls in the database. With Domo we have the ability to see trends dealing with specific scenarios, meaning we can address them much quicker than we used to."
To learn more about how this company and other progressive organizations are using Domo to get more value from their business data, visit http://www.domo.com/company/customers/.
