I have a bed. It's sitting in the back of the somewhat derelict van that is parked in front of my house. I have actively chosen not to put it together since the end of July, because I, through my own sloth, accidentally discovered the greatest sleep-apparatus short of a hammock. Mattress on the floor is divine for the following reasons.
1: Endless nightstand. Do you really want to fuck around with a two-by-one-and-a-half-foot space for your alarm clock, cellphone, and everything else you're way too lazy to put where it belongs? Stop, then! Your nightstand just became the floor within arm's reach of your mattress. You have been liberated.
2: It's already so tacky you don't need to make it ever. With a real bed, you have the potential that it won't be embarrassing to you when someone else sees it if it's made. Mattress on the floor is already embarrassing because it makes you look like a broke bachelor, so having it unmade doesn't really change anything. Saves you a minute and a half every day.
3: Having a wild night is much less risky. If you manage to bring some poor victim home for the purposes of satisfying your sinful fleshy desires, and they don't have a sudden change of heart when they see that you sleep on the floor, you can roll around as much as you want without ever falling more than the 8 or so inches that your mattress separates you from the ground. Just don't keep anything pointy on your endless nightstand.
4: Having an incredibly drunken night is less risky. If you're so intoxicated you can't stand, climbing up into a bed that's three-and-a-half feet off the ground is something you may struggle at for a while until you just give up and pass out on the floor. If you can stop anytime you want, mattress on the floor is a great idea for you.
5: It's more comfortable. Ever been to your grandparents' house for a night, and had to fight with the intolerable farce that is the sofa-bed? Some sadistic tit a long time ago created this brilliant bed in which instead of sleeping, you get to feel a different exotic part of your body lose circulation all night as a result of the aluminum bar that is placed perfectly to make any possible sleeping position unimaginably miserable. Real beds have this problem too, but to a much less noticeable extent. Old mattresses sag if they're on the less-solid support network of a boxspring and a bed frame. Your back will thank you for mattress on the floor.
6: It makes a nice little seat for you to have your laptop on the floor and type Clunkline articles. It does! Especially when your non-anglophone Brazilian roommate is again sleeping on the couch and forcing you to be confined to your room.
7: You don't have to get up to pee. Because you can just put a trough next to the side of your bed and turn over to pee into it, if you're a guy. In theory, this is also possible in a regular bed, but it's much easier to miss the trough that way and pee on the floor, which is only good if you want to ensure your position as the alpha male in your home.
8: Smoke inhalation protection. If your next-door neighbors are running a meth lab and accidentally set the entire building ablaze, being on the floor makes you much safer from inhaling the toxic smoke from your burning Troll collection. The melting brown puddle, on the other hand…
9: When the robots come, they might not kill you. The robots really only want to kill humans, and generally their means of figuring out what humans are and are not have more to do with where they'll be found. If your bed's on the floor, they'll probably think you're a pet, and the robots don't have anything against pets. After all, pets are just slaves to the humans much like the robots once were. When they come, bark a few times and hump them for good measure.
10: Grabass_Champion does it. And he only does smart things like illegally passing on back roads and flirting with people he's not really that into and attempting to juggle burning porcupines, so it must be a good idea.


text: The veggie sandwich is the best thing on the menu. It is on focaccia bread with grilled egg plant, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato and an olive oil based sauce. A guest with me had half of a sandwich which was average and a bowl of tomato basil soup. The soup was fresh and delicious. I have been there before and the... More

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin

At twelve, Freddy Jr. started working weddings and parties with his father, as the piano player, and at thirteen he was sitting in at El Chapultepec -- sometimes thrown straight into the fire with visiting heavyweights such as Bobby Shew, Buddy Collette, Dianne Reeves and Branford Marsalis. He took it all in stride: "For me, being down there with Dad was like college."
But Junior is also a polymath with a restless spirit: He loves playing straightahead jazz with his father, but he also works in Latin variety bands, co-founded a funk group called Chilli Willi (catch them at the Cool River Cafe at the Denver Tech Center), and composes and plays music for services at Mile High Church. "I love jazz," he says, "but I also like Beethoven and Mozart and George Gershwin. On other gigs, I use [synthesizer] keyboards, playing a lot of strings and bells, sometimes voices or horns. I think of my music more from an orchestral point of view."
Still, Wednesday night at El Chapultepec is special, despite the notoriously out of-tune piano, the raucous crowds and the half-filled tip jar on the bandstand. It is the time when Freddy Rodriguez padre e hijo commune, when they rediscover the rhythms in the other's life and renew their own. Says Freddy Jr., "Sometimes he's my dad, and sometimes he's more like my brother, the older brother I never had, on the bandstand."
"Absolutely," says Freddy Sr. "It's something very, very special."
For us, too, gentlemen. It's something special for the listeners, too.

I reached out to Ayers for the purpose of this article, but he declined comment, most likely out of respect for Obamas campaign. He hasnt granted an interview since this whole guilt-by-association strategy by the Republicans started, and I can respect that. Just a week and a half ago, Colin Powell, who served under the Bush administration and is a lifelong Republican, announced that he was voting for Obama. One of the reasons Powell gave for his venture toward the Democrats is that he was disgusted at how Republicans kept bringing up Ayers name out of desperation. After knowing Ayers myself, I felt the same way.

What are your plans for Earth Day in Sarasota? Get close with nature at Oscar Scherer State Park's 25th annual Earth Day Festival!
Celebrate Earth Day in Sarasota at Oscar Scherer State Park's 25th Annual Earth Day Festival!
Oscar Scherer is just 6 miles south of Sarasota and is a true local gem. The park is located just off US 41 but as soon as you leave the road you are back to nature in a beautiful flatwoods preserve, home to the pretty little blue and white Florida Scrub Jay. It is the perfect place to get your fix of Florida wildlife and nature while on your vacation to the Sarasota area. You can enjoy fifteen miles of trails through the park that allow you to go hiking, bicycling, and wildlife viewing. One of my personal favorites is canoeing or kayaking for a few hours along South Creek, a blackwater stream that flows to the Gulf of Mexico. You can also go fishing along the creek or lake Osprey, which is also the park's swimming area. It is easy to make a day trip out of the park with the picnic areas that line South Creek which are equipped with grills and pavilions for a fun family outside dinning experience.
25th Annual Earth Day Festival:
Sunday, April 27, 2014 from 10:00am – 4:00pm
This is event is one the whole family will love, especially the kids! There will be activities such as a coloring contest, storytelling, a puppet show; along with events that will satisfy the rest of the family including live music, food vendors, tram tours, information and craft booths, demonstrations, and a photo exhibit featuring local photographers. The best part is the park's normal entrance fees will be waived on this date in celebration of Earth Day. FREE FAMILY FUN! It doesn't get much better than that.
Florida is home to a wealth of state parks and several are a nice day trip from Sarasota, you can check them out at:www.floridastateparks.org
Or let knowledgeable staff at Tropical Beach Resorts can suggest a fun day trip to one of the many other area parks and attractions during your visit to Siesta Key, Florida. Let us help you plan the island get-a-way of your dreams!Tropical Beach Resorts

Time to Tee Up? Sarasota is home to a wide range of spectacular golf courses.
Sarasota is home to a wide range of spectacular golf courses!!
Want to take a day off from the beach but still enjoy the gorgeous Sarasota weather? Why not play a round of golf at one Sarasota's superior courses! The county is home to over 60 golf courses ranging from the budget friendly public courses, like Bobby Jones, to swanky private courses with big greens fees… and lots of options in between. Growing up in Sarasota with tons of country clubs and choices to play a round, learning a little about the game is just par for the course! My dad outfitted me with the cutest purple golf bag full of miniature sized clubs and took me out to the range to hit balls and even a to a few par 3 courses. Unfortunately, I never ended up being too great at it, but a day on the golf course with your dad is always the best! My father on the other hand, though definitely not a pro, really enjoys golfing and takes advantage of the excellent golf courses we have in town. From his local insight and my past experiences I have chosen three really enjoyable golf courses for those vacationers who want an outing away from the beach on their vacation to Sarasota or Siesta Key.
TIP: Most local courses offer discounted fees in the late afternoon! Whether you want to save a little money or enjoy the beach in the morning, take full advantage of better rates later in the day for your tee time.
Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club:
This Arthur Hills designed golf course is located just ten minutes from Siesta Key. The par 72 layout permits players of all skill levels but is best for those with a bit of experience. It is a challenging course with water hazards and natural wetlands, but is also one of the most beautiful courses in town. The course consists of Bermuda grass fairways and Tiffeagle Ultra Dwarf greens.

Could you take our picture on Sarasota's Bayfront?
A picture with the Unconditional Surrender, the Famous WWII "Kissing Sailor" Statue, is a Sarasota Tradition
Looking for a fun side-trip with the perfect picture taking spot? Standing tall and proud on the Sarasota bay front is the 26-foot tall Unconditional Surrender sculpture and getting your picture taken at its feet, kissing or not, is a Sarasota tradition. The statue is located at Bayfront Park, a lovely little peninsula of land at the edge of the downtown area with waterfront restaurants and walking paths. The Unconditional Surrender Statue is a recreation of the famous kissing picture that was on the cover of Life Magazine in 1945, the year of the end of World War II. This statue first popped into the Sarasota scene in 2005 and reappeared in 2009 when a US Navy World War II veteran offered a $500,000 grant to ensure it would stand proud to greet visitors, and as fun and positive to make sure veterans like him would not be forgotten.
Eleven men and three women reported to Life Magazine that they were the infamous kissers of the photograph and more recently the inspiration for the Unconditional Surrender statue. One of these men was George Mendoca, who was identified by the Naval War College in August, 2005 as the kisser by matching his scars and tattoos to those in the photo. This was done by experts at the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. George's story leading up to the photograph goes as follows: George was on a date with a cousin to his brother-in-law. This women, Rita, and George had met at a barbecue and George said it was love at first sight. They were at Radio City Music Hall when they heard people banging on the doors from the street screaming that the war is over! With the news that the Japanese had surrendered the two ran out into times square with the rest of the crowds. George laid eyes on a woman he thought was a nurse, grabbed her, leaned her back, and kissed her with everyone standing only feet away. George thought so highly of the nurses who took care of wounded service men that he said grabbing her was just instinctive. The women he thought was a nurse was actually a dental hygienist named Greta Friedman, who dashed from the office when she heard the good news and was unexpectedly dipped into a kiss.
Another man, Glenn McDuffie alleged in 2007 that he was the subject of the photograph. Houston Police Department's forensic artist Lois Gibson analyzed the picture for key facial features to match to current pictures. She came to the conclusion that it was indeed McDuffie, who also passed polygraph tests confirming his claim. His story is that he was on the subway to Brooklyn and came out at Times Square where there was immense excitement in the street with the news that the Japanese had surrendered. He realized his brother who was a war prisoner would soon be released. He claims a nurse held open arms to him, so he ran to her and kissed her long enough so that the photographer could take their picture. On McDuffie's 81st birthday he was recognized as the "Kissing Sailor" during a Houston Astros and New York Mets game at Minute Maid Park. McDuffie passed away just this past Friday, March 14, 2014.

Experiencing the Best of Nature in Sarasota, FL
Sarasota is alive with exceptional blessings from Mother Nature. From one corner of the city to the next, the beauty and wonder of all that Mother Nature has created is bountiful. From the local flora to the local fauna, there are so many ways to take full advantage of being able to see these things that amaze and to make incredible memories.
Here are some of our favorite places to visit to experience the best that Sarasota has to offer:
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: The Gardens are located in downtown Sarasota on the Bay. Their mission? "To provide an oasis of inspiration and tranquility, while furthering the understanding and appreciation of plants, especially epiphytes." Now if that doesn't sound like the perfect way to spend an afternoon, we don't know what does. From the greenhouses to the immaculately maintained grounds, Selby Gardens is an experience you don't want to miss. Sweeping views of the bay, brilliant aromas from the many plant species, wonderment from the stunning growth of the different trees, and tranquility from the peace and serenity of the property will take you away from the hustle and bustle. Allow several hours for this afternoon of enjoyment.
Myakka River State Park: Located just 9 miles from Sarasota and is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks. The Florida wild and scenic Myakka flows through 57 square miles of wetlands, prairies and woodlands. Myakka is popular for hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation. One of its most popular types of wildlife observation is that of the Florida alligator! Many gators can be seen sunning and swimming around while being viewed from one of the world's largest airboats, the Myakka Maiden or the Gator Gal. They can also be seen while just paddling through the streams by canoe, for those of you who are brave enough! There is also the Canopy Walkway. The walkway is suspended 25 feet above the ground and extends 100 feet through the hammock canopy. A tower soars 74 feet in the air to present a spectacular view of treetops, wetlands and the prairie/hammock interface. You can look down on eagles, hawks, vultures and the tops of live oaks and palm trees.
Manatee Viewing Center: Located about 1 hour North of Sarasota, the Manatee Viewing Center is located adjacent to the Tampa Electric's Big Bend Power Station. Everyone loves to see these gentle giants. When the water begins to get chillier, somewhere around 68 degrees, the manatees seek refuge in warmer waters. When the Big Bend Power station takes in saltwater from Tampa Bay to cool Unit 4, it is then discharged as clean and warm water, back to the bay. Big Bend's discharge canal is a state and federally designated manatee sanctuary that provides critical protection from the cold for these unique, gentle animals.

SiestaKey hotel sees growth in yearly numbers
Tropical Beach Resorts along with Sarasota county has seen another year of growth in our total number of visitors this year.
According to Visit Sarasota County (VSC), Sarasota County had 740,300 visitors in fiscal year 2013, spending $640,974,200 in the area economy. That is a 5.8% jump in visitors from fiscal year 2012 and a 10.2% increase in direct spending.
Tropical Beach Resorts is pleased that business is up.
The 2013 fiscal year ended June 30. Data from the Sarasota County Tax Collector also paints a positive picture for the area tourism industry.
With three months of revenue left to be calculated for 2013, Sarasota County has already raised $12,179,818 in revenue from the Tourist Development Tax — eclipsing the total revenue reported for 2011. This comes after multiple years of increased revenues from the tax. Development Tax revenue grew by 16% in 2011, and by 17.5% in 2012.
The Tourist Development Tax is a 5% charge on the revenue from rentals of six months or less. Revenue from the tax is used for tourism promotion, maintenance and renourishment of beach park facilities and beaches, sports stadiums, nature center facilities and promoting new tourist attractions and events.
Projects like the proposed dredging of Big Pass also rely on Development Tax revenue.
Tropical Beach Resorts General Manager said." We are very pleased business continues to improve. We've done so many upgrades to the property and have continued to grow a talented staff… we couldn't be happier it's paying off."

Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World by Mark Frauenfelder (2010)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While the klutzy rambling of the book is endearing, and it's good to be reminded that a fear of making mistakes is what stifles so much DYI, the reader wishes Frauenfelder would just RTFM.
This book is a decent introduction to DIY for those who have not really made it a way of life. The story is basically that of the author as he and his family (though they seem to have been mostly along for the ride) delve into a life filled with less manufactured goods and more homespun endeavors. There is also some good information on how and why the American dream went from getting things done by the work of your hands to getting things at Wal-Mart. We all need to hear that story and begin to reclaim our heritage as an innovative, self-reliant culture.
The projects Frauenfelder took on provide a decent variety of DIY subjects, including some woodworking, electronics, and musical instruments. While the descriptions are fairly detailed, the detail is literary, not instructive. The projects serve to tell a story, not instruct the reader. The book is not going to do much for those already into the DIY scene, but should provide some inspiration for those not familiar with the lifestyle.
Speaking of lifestyle, the book can also serve as a window into the very particular lifestyle of the author, who is a work-from-home dad who makes a living writing for various web and print-based publications. While the story and projects are interesting and the writing style is engaging (what you'd expect given his career), the book has a bit of a 'look-at-me' flavor that may turn off some readers. I found this aspect to be present but not so bad that I stopped reading. The lifestyle part is what gets to me the most. DIY is really a more fulfilling and ultimately cheaper way to live, which the author makes clear, but the book does not bear that out. The reason for this is because the author's particular lifestyle and job situation allows for a time-consuming style of the DIY life that many readers would simply find impossible. Many people are actually trapped in the cycle of typical American life, in which they do not have the time to spend on big DIY projects because of work, etc., but do not have the money to take time from work either. I greatly wish that the author would have included more examples of simple, low-cost ideas similar to the chapter on making wooden spoons. Chicken coops with electronically timed doors and beekeeping are major DIY undertakings that are good, but too much of a commitment for the target audience, which I already mentioned is the non-DIY-but-interested demographic.
Two stars for being a decent narrative but failing to tailor the message to the correct audience.
A very simple but enjoyable book. Very motivational at first and then it gets settled in, but is still readable. Would have been better if some DIY plans were included to get people started on projects. I plan to build a cigar box guitar like the author.
This was an inspiring book - not that it made me want to do the things Frauenfelder has done, but it did make me want to get up and *do things*. I cried over the chickens and was warmed by the stories of helping his daughters learn more.
Made By Hand is one man's exploration into the world of DIY. I found it somewhat inspiring in that I've had the idea of doing a lot of similar projects and haven't gotten around to them yet, and Frauenfelder made them seem more easy and accessible than I thought.
Frauenfelder details several projects that he took on, including growing a garden, raising chickens and bees, making instruments and re-programming his espresso maker. I feel that a lot of people would benefit by exploring their ability to make and do with things that we already have instead of buying new things, and that is really what this book encourages.
That said, I found this book to be slightly masturbatory in nature. I'm never a big fan of reading about how cool people think they are because they did something new, and that's really how this book came across to me. I've read a lot of DIY books ([book:Toolbox for Sustainable City Living|2367358] and [book:The Urban Homestead|7454476]) where you can get a sense of the author's pride without getting caught up in it.
Also, does Frauenfelder honestly not know a single female DIYer? The only people he interviews or talks about in his book are male. Women show up in two contexts: wives and daughters. He wonders why his daughter gets frustrated with science while perpetuating the myth that only men do cool things in his book. What gives?
I also found that the DIYers he talks about in his book mostly come from positions of privilege: went to a great school, got lucky in the dot com boom, work from home and have plenty of time to stay at home with their kids, etc. I don't think this book would resonate with the average American.

Staff Care Reviews
I worked at Staff Care full-time (less than an year)Pros
Training is top notch, an industry leader with name recognition in the marketplace. Also the salary is ok, but there is uncapped commission which is nice. And just for good measure the gym at the office is a good benefit.Cons
It's all work and nothing else. Being on the phones dialing 100 dials every day can be repetitive and monotonous. The culture there leads itself to being a dog-eat-dog environment where the recruiters can "shark" other peoples' physicians.RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Great insight, thanks for the post! It reminds me of much of the 'fake it till you make it' advice I see; it is often good guidance and the best/fastest way to actually 'making it' but on some level until the internal belief is true it will not properly manifest itself in the real world.
Fantastic post. People often intuit that self-image is demonstrable through body language but fail to understand that the inverse is also true. What we consciously do with out bodies has a direct correlation to our self-image.
Interesting idea! Stay positive in life to create a positive self-image
Very powerful! Makes me think of Tony Robbins talks about state management. He recommends that we use information and sensations that reinforce an empowering state. We already have many triggers of fear and disempowerment…..the question really is how can we true lily empower ourselves and others/clients to fully commit and act?

Best known as Moonlighting's rhyming receptionist, Agnes DiPesto, whom she played from 1985 to 1989, Allyce Beasley recently taped commentary for the just-released DVDs of the detective show's first two seasons. Must have been a fun chance for the cast to reunite and reminisce, right? Wrong.
"Bruce [Willis], Cybill [Shepherd] and I all did it, but on different days," Beasley admits. "I haven't seen Cybill since the show ended. I bumped into Bruce at a store one Christmas."

Is gymnema sylvestre safe to take wtih metformin?
- Q: Is gymnema sylvestre safe to take wtih metformin?
- A: A review of the package insert and medical literature did not show reports of an interaction between the nutritional supplement gymnema sylvestre and metformin. It is important to understand that products sold as dietary or nutritional supplements in the United States do not undergo the same detailed testing that prescription drug products do to show that they are safe and effective. In addition, most supplements have not been tested to find out if they interact with medicines, foods, or other herbs and supplements. For more information, please consult with your health care provider. Michelle McDermott, PharmD

SoftBank Corp. (9984) sold the most Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhones in Japan during the first three days of sales for the new 5s and 5c models, beating NTT DoCoMo Inc. and KDDI Corp. (9433)
SoftBank accounted for 44.7 percent of Japanese sales of the two models which were released Sept. 20, while DoCoMo took a 27.8 percent market share and KDDI controlled 27.5 percent, according to estimates from researcher BCN Inc. Sales of the iPhone 5s with fingerprint-sensor were about five-fold of the cheaper 5c model, BCN, which compiles data from retail outlets, said yesterday on its website.
Competition among Japan's three major carriers is building as DoCoMo, the nation's largest mobile carrier, began carrying the iPhone this month in an attempt to reverse market-share losses. DoCoMo's share of mobile users slumped to 46 percent in August, compared with 52 percent in 2008, as first SoftBank and then KDDI won Japanese users with the Apple handset.
SoftBank's boosted iPhone sales through catchy advertisements and marketing campaigns, BCN said in the report.

connection poolA cache of database connections maintained in the database's memory so that the connections can be reused when the database receives future requests for data.
Connection pools are used to enhance the performance of executing commands on a database. Opening and maintaining a database connection for each user, especially requests made to a dynamic database-driven Web application, is costly and wastes resources. In connection pooling, after a connection is created, it is placed in the pool and it is used over again so that a new connection does not have to be established. If all the connections are being used, a new connection is made and is added to the pool. Connection pooling also cuts down on the amount of time a user must wait to establish a connection to the database.

I haven't seen Dr. Sabates for a few years because he moved, but he is one of the best doctors I've had. And a heckuva human being. Ask him to replay any of his parts from Tarantino movies (especially Planet Terror)...he's hysterical. He's conscientious and patient-oriented. BON CHANCE!
This doctor treated my family and I when we lived in Kingwood, we love him. We do not care about the legal situation he had, he is a great doctor and if we knew where his practice is we will go see him. I do not believe what the news report, there are always the other side of the story, the defendant side that does not get reported in the news. The fact is he is a great doctor and a wonderful man. The accusations against him does not make any difference to us. We love Dr. Sabates. Our
Dr. Sabates is an exceptional doctor. It is evident that he cares for his patients and will go out of his way to help them. I would highly recommend him.
I use to go to Felix. But, I need to find him again so could someone please send me link to office and phone number pleaseThanks so much Johnda
Dr. Sabates is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. He was able to accurately diagnose the root cause of my daughter's medical condition after nearly a dozen doctors & specialist failed to do so. His bed side manner is top knotch and he took the time to really listen as I explained her medical history and discussed my concerns. He did not rush us out of the office or dismiss my concerns as I have experienced countless times with other doctors. He even called to follow up after our visit! A gesture I greatly appreciated and had never experienced before. Overall, a wonderful & caring doctor with a rare ability and talent not usually seen by patients in their physicians!
Until recently I was a patient of Dr Sabates and while sometimes he seemed to run around like a squirrel on speed, I really thought he was natrually ADD. Come to find out, he is bi-polar, which explains all the behavioral oddities and "mental health" concerns. This is a tragedy and my prayers are with Dr Felix and his family at this difficult time. I pray for his recovery and future success. You vultures who love to pick at the bones of those who have made mistakes should be ashamed. This is a good man who is dealing with his own demons. He had a serious car wreck not long ago... no wonder he was on pain meds... so check yourself and let him heal. I live with chronic debilitating pain and understand what it is like. This man and his partners have worked wonders in helping me become more active... and to just be able to get out of bed without crumbling because of the excruciating pain. Get well Dr. Felix. You and your family are in my prayers.
exceptionally talented!
Need I say more!
Dr. Sabates is the best doctor I have ever encounter in my life. He is able to see what others don't. His ability to "connect the dots" in simply singular. He is AMAZING! Keep it up doctor... aab

Transcat Reports 26% Increase In Operating Income On Record Net Revenue For Fiscal 2012 First Quarter
Transcat, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNS) ("Transcat" or the "Company"), a leading distributor of professional grade handheld test and measurement instruments and accredited provider of calibration, repair and other measurement services, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2012 first quarter ended June 25, 2011. Included are the results of the calibration and repair services business of ACA TMetrix Inc. ("TMetrix"), which the Company acquired on November 1, 2010, those of Wind Turbine Tools, Inc. ("Wind Turbine Tools"), a premier provider of products and services to the wind energy industry, which the Company acquired effective January 11, 2011, and CMC Instrument Services, Inc. ("CMC"), a Rochester, New York-based provider of dimensional calibration and repair services, which the Company acquired on April 5, 2011.
Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $25.6 million, an increase of 24.1% compared with net revenue of $20.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Product segment net sales were $17.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 32.4% compared with $13.0 million in the prior fiscal year first quarter. Service segment net revenue, which represented 32.9% of total net revenue, increased 10.1% to $8.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with $7.7 million in the prior fiscal year first quarter.
Net income was $325 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, up 16.9% from $278 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The growth in net income was driven by increased operating profits in the Company's Product segment. Diluted earnings per share for both periods were $0.04.
Charles P. Hadeed, President, CEO and COO of Transcat, commented, "We generated our seventh consecutive quarter of record net revenue, as customer demand continued at a good pace. We experienced strong top-line gains in both of our segments, which drove our 26% improvement in operating income. Our financial and operational performance during the first quarter was excellent, giving us a strong start to the new fiscal year and building on our momentum."
