Increasing Threat Perception and Advanced Products to Fuel Demand for Alarm Monitoring Services, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California, Feb 11, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Follow us on LinkedIn - Alarm monitoring, recognized as one of oldest segments in the security market, offers assurance to residential and commercial consumers that their assets are being monitored continuously to prevent any untoward incidents such as intrusions or fire. Over the years, the global alarm monitoring services market has been garnering considerable business driven by rising concerns about crime in society. Incremental technology development and increasing product sophistication coupled with fall in prices have assisted in a rise in demand for alarm monitoring products. Government expenditure on security and public safety is also expanding in view of the growing threat of terrorism, while commercial businesses are prioritizing safety and security of physical assets and to prevent losses due to theft, misappropriation of assets, or even fire breakout at workplace.
Another key noteworthy trend is the growing popularity of virtual alarm monitoring services wherein monitoring is carried out through the web/broadband Internet, and alarms dispatched over the both Internet or cellular networks accessible through a wide range of communication devices. However, the alarm monitoring services market encounters a major challenge in the form of rising instances of false alarms, which is a burden on the time and resources of alarm monitoring companies and emergency responders.
As stated by the new market research report on Alarm Monitoring Services, developed markets such as Europe and North America have been the traditional revenue generators in the global alarm monitoring market. But with instances of crime growing across the world, particularly in developing countries where the gap between haves and have nots is expanding, the demand for reliable security systems is rising from both residential and commercial sectors. As a result, developing markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America and Middle East are expected to turbo charge future growth in the market. Rapid expansion in building and residential units in developing nations is creating new opportunities in this space. Characterized by burgeoning economies, increase in foreign investments, rise in business activities, presence of large relatively untapped private security markets and increase in crime rates, Asia-Pacific and Latin America have been witnessing increased adoption of security systems, particularly high-end alarm monitoring systems in recent years.
Residential intrusion and fire monitoring services represent the largest segment in the alarm monitoring services market. The United States represents the largest regional market for residential intrusion and fire monitoring services. Residential alarm monitoring services market is significantly impacted by the level of turnover in the housing market. Falling sales for new and existing homes prove to be a dampener for the alarm monitoring services market, as residential construction sector accounts for a significant proportion of the overall market revenues. In times of subdued activity in the residential construction sector, the demand for new home automation systems as well as services comes down significantly, and existing customers choose to disconnect current services to cut down expenses. However, there exists opportunities for growth in the future, owing to the fact that penetration of alarm monitoring or security systems among households is relatively low. Furthermore, increasing willingness of consumers to spend on safety is also expected to translate into enhanced revenues in the coming years.
The market for other alarm monitoring services (including vehicular alarm monitoring services and PERS (personal emergency response service) monitoring) is set to grow at the fastest compounded annual growth rate of 9.4% over the analysis period. On the other hand, commercial alarm monitoring systems and services not only provide security but also enable businesses to realize considerable cost savings through outsourcing of these services to third parties and by avoiding costs incurred on guard services. As commercial alarm monitoring services are driven by the level of new office construction activity, the sector slowed down considerably during the past few years due to the economic downturn. With recovery being hampered by uncertainty created by the eurozone crisis, new office construction sector continues to progress at a sluggish pace, hurting prospects of alarm monitoring service companies. Despite the slower growth, there exists huge opportunities from the retrofit market, as several existing systems are increasingly being replaced with newer technologies such as IP-based systems. Growth is also expected from customers' continued focus on technologies that are not only simple and convenient but also offer high degree performance.
Global alarm monitoring market is characterized by high degree of fragmentation. In recent times, telecom and IT companies have been lured into this market given their ability to offer services similar to that of conventional alarm monitoring companies, albeit at a relatively lower cost. Major players profiled in the report include ADT Security Services Inc., G4S PLC, Guardian Protection Services Inc., Honeywell Security Products Americas, Monitronics International Inc., Prosegur compania de Seguridad, Protection 1 Inc., Reliance Protectron Security Services, Secom Co., Ltd., Securitas AB, Siemens AG, Stanley Convergent Security Solutions Inc., UTC Fire & Security Corporation, and Vivint, Inc.
The research report titled "Alarm Monitoring Services: A Global Strategic Business Report" announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities. The report provides market estimates and projections for all major geographic markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Segments analyzed include Residential Intrusion & Fire Alarm Monitoring Services, Non-Residential Intrusion & Fire Alarm Monitoring Services, and Others.

SPRING HILL — Endeavoring to offer a "sacrifice of praise" is the reason the Triumphant Quartet sings, according to a press release for the group.
The phrase, taken from a verse in the book of Hebrews, sums up their mission: "to spread the Word of God through song and share the good news of Christ with other believers."
Bass singer Eric Bennett says that is indeed what the group is all about.
"We're about sharing God's word through music and through song and do it in an up tempo, encouraging, entertaining type of way," Bennett said. "That's what we love to do."
Sunday, the group will perform at the 10:50 a.m. service of the Spring Hill Baptist Church.
Triumphant Quartet, formed in 2003, began by performing at the Louise Mandrell Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. In addition to a full-time schedule at the theater, the group also performed throughout the country.
This year, the quartet, ages 26 to 49, will travel full time with its music ministry.
The group has a combined 80-plus years of singing experience. Lead singer Clayton Inman performed as a teenager with his family's singing group, the Inmans. In 1983, he was a member of the Singing Americans and performed at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge until the mid 1990s.
He helped form Won by One, a group that recorded the No. 1 hit King Jesus in 1999 and received gospel music's Horizon Award for Best Group.
Scott Inman, Clayton's son and baritone for the group, is the third generation of gospel music singers in his family. He began singing with Poet Voices in 2001 and won gospel's Horizon Favorite Newcomer award. In 2007, he was voted the Young Artist of the Year by the Singing News Fan Awards.
Tenor David Sutton began playing drums with the Watchman Quartet when he was only 10. At 15, he was invited to sing with the Kingsmen Quartet during one of its performances. He decided that was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
After high school, he joined the Anchorman Quartet and the Singing Americans and spent eight years performing at Dollywood.
Bennett grew up on a farm in Battle Ground, Ala. He sang in area churches and went to hear groups such as the Kingsmen and the Cathedrals.
He decided that was what he wanted to do with his life.
Bennett had a series of careers, including pastoring at a Baptist church, but felt God calling him to resign. Two weeks later, he received a singing offer and sang for 12 years at the Pigeon Forge theme park before joining the quartet.
Jeff Stice, pianist for the quartet, began playing the piano when he was 8, and at age 15 provided accompaniment for his father's gospel quartet.
He began playing for the Nelons in 1990 and went on to help found and manage Perfect Heart. He played piano for the group for the next 10 years and then became a pianist for a gospel show at Dollywood.
Stice has won Singing News magazine's Horizon Award for Favorite Newcomer and Favorite Pianist. In 2007, he won the Southern Music Guild award for Stage Musician of the Year.
Bennett said he is pleased that Stice recently won the 2008 Singing News Musician of the Year fan award.
"He does a fantastic job," Bennett said. "He's a phenomenal musician. He can play the piano and several other instruments and play any style. He's had classical training, so he's pretty talented."
The group will perform both old standards and newer, contemporary songs at the concert.
"I think a lot of times contemporary music is more about praising God and worshiping, and you're singing to him," Bennett said. "In Southern gospel music, most of the lyrics are telling about him. So you're uplifting everybody and telling them what he's done for them."
Even though Triumphant Quartet does some bluegrass and contemporary songs, it is the group's Southern gospel harmony that attracts people, Bennett said.
"With us, it's all about the harmony," he said. "You've got four-part harmony most of the time — sometimes a fifth part thrown in there. I think we have a good blend. That's what people enjoy about a quartet. Of course, they like to see how low the bass can go and how high the tenor can go."
Bennett said he hopes the concert in Spring Hill will be uplifting.
"We want to see people laugh. Right now, with everything going on — the economy and the news in the Middle East — we hope that people would just be entertained and encouraged," he said. " We feel like God wants us to enjoy life, and we try to take their mind off of everything around them for about an hour. We want to let them know that God's fun and that he cares about them."

Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail Cóctel de Camarón
Unexpected as it may be for many Americans, market stalls and street stalls all over Mexico put together shrimp cocktails for hungry crowds everyday and serve them up with packets of soda crackers. And not just on the beaches. Honestly, one of my favorite street-stall shrimp cocktails is at Mexico City's El Caguamo, which follows the pretty traditional pattern of making "cocktail" sauce from ketchup, Mexican hot sauce and fresh-squeezed lime, then mixing in shrimp, avocado, cilantro and onion. Elemental satisfaction.
Working Ahead: The sauce can be made, covered and refrigerated for several days before serving. Finish the cocktail within an hour or so of serving.
Make 4 cups, serving 6 to 8 as a starter
- 1 pound (71 to 90 pieces per pound) peeled, cooked small shrimp
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina or Tamazula)
- ½ cup (loosely packed) chopped fresh cilantro (thick bottom stems cut off)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 small white onion, cut into ¼-inch pieces
- ¾ cup clam juice, shellfish stock or water
- Salt
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from the skin and sliced
- 2 to 3 dozen crackers (standard-issue saltines or artisanal crackers) OR 8 to 12 ounces of tortilla chips
- 2 limes cut into wedges
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, ketchup, hot sauce, cilantro, lime juice and onion. Stir in the clam juice, stock or water. Taste and season with salt if you think it needs it. Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Serve the cocktail in small bowls topped with slices of avocado, accompanied by saltine crackers (for a very authentic touch) or tortilla chips and lime wedges for your guests to squeeze on.

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has been contributing to the EU's preparatory work for the UN Rio+20 Summit on Sustainable Development, to strengthen the European and global civil society involvement in the transition towards sustainable societies. European organised civil society calls on world leaders to make concrete commitments to advance global sustainable development and eradicate poverty. The EESC believes that the involvement of economic and social civil society players is vital in defining and carrying out actions that will transform our economies and lifestyles into sustainable, greener ones.
In its key messages to the Rio Conference, the Committee calls on world leaders to commit to a concrete action plan to:
- promote an inclusive, green economy and reduce inequalities;
- eradicate poverty and secure access to food, water and energy for everyone;
- achieve distributional and inter-generational equity;
- establish a green economy roadmap, with clear and measurable goals;
- build up a robust global institutional framework for sustainable development; and
- improve effective civil society involvement in the transition to sustainable societies.
On the sidelines of the UN Conference, the Committee will be organising several events in Rio de Janeiro, two of which will take place on 19 June. In the "What is at stake at Rio+20? Recommendations from Brazilian and EU civil society" Round Table with the Brazilian Council for Economic and Social Development (CDES) the two bodies will adopt common recommendations addressed to the Rio+20 Conference.
The "EU-BRICS Dialogue for Sustainable Development" will feature a debate with the EESC's counterparts in the BRICS countries, exploring shared views on the issue of sustainable development. It will be attended by EU Commissioner Potocnik and the UN Coordinator for Rio+20 Brice Lalonde.
The main event will be held on 21 June, chaired by EESC President Staffan Nilsson and attended by the European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and the Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Christian Friis Bach representing the EU Council presidency. "Civil society taking global responsibility" will consist of a debate on concrete experiences and civil society participation models in sustainable development, from the local to the global level.
Over the past year, the EESC has been working on formulating a set of messages to world leaders ahead of the UN Rio+20 Summit. This has been done through wide-ranging consultation at European level and in close collaboration with the main global partners, including civil society representatives in Brazil, China, Russia, India, South Africa (BRICS) and the ACP region. Based on this intensive civil-society dialogue, the EESC is now making its contribution to the EU's position on Rio+20.

Airbus Military is offering to supply some A400M tactical airlifters to NATO on a "fractional ownership" basis. The proposal is designed to help smaller European countries that cannot afford to own such aircraft but that have been negotiating a similar pooling scheme (through NATO) with Boeing for the C-17.
"We are offering a much lower cost per flying hour than Boeing," a source at Airbus Military told Aviation International News. Thirteen NATO nations signed a memorandum of understanding with Boeing last fall to procure three or four C-17s for the pool. But according to the source, negotiations have bogged down as the nations "realized how expensive the scheme would be in practice."
Most of the same nations currently subscribe to NATO's Strategic Air Lift Interim Solution (SALIS), which employs Antonov An-124 Ruslan heavy airlifters supplied under contract (see page 38). The SALIS contract would have to be extended if the nations took up the Airbus offer, since the A400M production line is fully committed until 2012. Despite development delays with the aircraft's very powerful turboprop engines, Airbus Military said that the promised first delivery can still be made in October 2009. This aircraft is for France, one of seven launch nations that ordered 180 A400Ms. South Africa (eight on order) and Malaysia (four) subsequently joined the program as industrial partners.
Airbus Military hopes to sell as many as 200 A400Ms to other countries. It has recently briefed three U.S. Air Force commands on the aircraft's suitability to replace the C-130s used for Special Forces missions. However, the USAF requires earlier deliveries than Airbus Military can provide, quite apart from political considerations that would make such a sale problematic, the European manufacturer admits. For a full description of the A400M, see tomorrow's edition.

Embrace of the Rain

Poem by: SmileValentine
Embrace of the Rain
Here comes the rain;
Washing away my pain.
Making me feel so relieve,
Giving me reasons to believe.
Who do you expect to pay;
For my cold summer day?
For me, who's willing to cry?
I know no one, but the grieving sky.
Angels' tears continue to fall.
Melancholy rises to call.
As the rain embraces me,
Whispering "do not worry."
The pouring raindrops in my palm;
Is keeping my aching heart calm.
My lonely eyes can now hide its tears.
My sorrow can now vanish without fears.
As angels' tears continue to fall.

Sad but beautiful. There is something beautiful about the rain I think, in its own melancholy way and this poem shows that. I love how you described the raindrops as angels tears. Beautiful and emotional :)

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.Being 'added' to an LLC is not enough--you have to formally agree to become part of the LLC, which involves some sort of a written contract or an agreement. As a consequence whatever you were stated is not actionable or provable--until you sign and agree to become a part of the LLC, this claim has no legal basis to you. There are as yet no legal ramifications because lawfully you own nothing, you are not a part of anything, and as a consequence there is no duty either to the company, the shareholders, officers, or the IRS.Good luck.
But the other issue is that my name changed to marriage and they are asking me to verify my name and that I own 0.05 percent of the "shares". Also, they sent me a schedule K-1 1065 listing me as a partner with $0 indicated. Also, the company was formed in 1998, I was 17?
I just wanted to know if this is even possible or illegal, because I don't recall being a member or signing to become a member. Is it fraud?
Thank you for your follow-up.There is no inherent violation with someone who is a minor owning a company, however in that situation a guardian had to have consented, signed off, and controlled the shares. Plus, such a transfer would be 'voidable' at the wish of the minor until he or she came of age. Having said that, this appears suspicious and if you want out, you have an easy option available to you.If you never signed anything, then this isn't a valid transaction. Consider sending them a formal letter stating that you never signed anything to become owner, you were never part of this entity, and that you wish no part of this entity going forward. That should be sufficient as there is no documentation either from you or your guardXXXXX XXXXXnking you to this entity.Good luck!

Episode Title: "Bug"
Writers: Moira Walley-Beckett & Thomas Schnauz
Director: Terry McDonough
Previously on "Breaking Bad":
Fearing for his life, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) enlisted his partner Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to poison their boss, Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) at the next opportunity. However, Jesse was legitimately grateful for the second chance provided by Gus and Mike (Jonathan Banks) in addition to having a healthy dose of fear if he was caught in the act. Jesse also witnessed Gus turn down the cartel's "request" when it began encroaching on his territory. Meanwhile, Walt had problems of his own with his DEA Agent brother-in-law, Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), who correctly surmised that Gus was the real power behind "Heisenberg."
Hank forced Walt to place a tracker on Gus' car, which Walt nervously approached him about. To his surprise, Gus told him to do it and he took off the device at will to cover his tracks from Hank's illegal investigation. This incident only furthered Walt's paranoia and he insisted that Jesse move up their timetable for killing Gus. Jesse lied and said that he hadn't seen Gus recently, but Walt checked Jesse's phone while he was out of the room and discovered that his partner was holding out… and possibly turning against him.
In the future, we see a bleeding man who appears to be Walt struggling to pick up his glasses. Back in the present, Walt and Hank once again drive to the Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant to collect the bug beneath Gus' car. But Walt is more unnerved by Gus' man, Tyrus Kitt (Ray Campbell) watching their every move. Walt grabs the bug and then refuses to enter the restaurant against Hank's wishes. At Hank's home, he runs the bug through his software and learns that Gus seemingly only traveled from his home to just the single restaurant of the thirteen that he owns. However, this only further convinces Hank that Gus is hiding something.
Outside of Hank's home, Walt pulls up besides Tyrus and calls the police on him, forcing Tyrus to drive off. Outside the Superlab, Walt encounters Jesse and bums a cigarette as a way of checking if Jesse still has the cigarette with the poison meant to kill Gus. Quickly picking up on the subtext of Walt's small talk, Jesse assures him that he will still kill Gus the next chance that he gets. Hours later, Walt's wife, Skyler White (Anna Gunn) calls and tells him that business is so good that he can start looking for a way out of the drug trade. Walt half-heartedly agrees knowing full well that there is no escape for him now.
Early the next morning, Hank calls Walt and tells him about a property owned by Gus that may be his drug distribution center. Realizing that Hank has found the Superlab, Walt sheepishly calls Mike and informs him of the development after convincing Hank to hold off for a few days. At the industrial area near the Superlab, Mike, Jesse and other men working for Gus begin scrubbing the place of any traces of their criminal enterprise. Outside, one of the men is shot dead by a cartel sniper and Jesse's life is saved by a diving Mike. Angered, Gus comes out himself to face the shooter knowing full well that the cartel needs him alive.
Although Gus seemed defiant earlier, he eventually caves into the demands of the cartel. Meanwhile, Skyler learns that her former employer and ex-lover, Ted Beneke (Christopher Cousins) is facing an audit for serious fraud which she helped cover up through falsified records. Realizing that her name on the investigation could lead to unwanted scrutiny from the government, Skyler pretends to be an ignorant airhead to get the CID Special Agent (Rob Brownstein) to drop the outright fraud charges. However, even with the penalty reduced to paying what he owes, Ted insists that his money is gone.
Later, Jesse and Mike bring the body of the man killed by the cartel to the Superlab, where Walt immediately assumes that Gus killed the man as an example and he harasses Mike about it. Angered, Mike tells him to shut up and threatens him against calling the cops on his men again. Outside, Jesse asks why Gus went "Terminator" on the sniper and what's going on. Mike tells him to ask Gus himself. Later at Gus' home, Jesse is surprised to find Gus preparing a meal for both of them. He has the opportunity to drop the poison in the stew, but he refrains since he would probably have to eat it too.
After dinner, Gus asks Jesse if he can cook Walt's formula. Assuming that Gus wants him to keeping cooking so he can kill Walt, Jesse responds angrily. But Gus remains calm and tells Jesse that he needs his help to prevent an all out war with the cartel. The next day at the Superlab, Walt retrieves a bug from underneath Jesse's car and learns that he was at Gus' home for over two hours. Hours later, Jesse calls Walt over to his home and tells him that the cartel wants Gus to send him to Mexico to teach them how to replicate Walt's blue meth. Frightened for his life due to his incomplete knowledge, he asks Walt for his help.
Instead, Walt scoffs at Jesse's request and berates him for not poisoning Gus. He then reveals the bug that allowed him to track Jesse's movements. Feeling betrayed by Walt, Jesse throws the bug at him and it hits him in his face. Jesse and Walt then attack each other and brutal punches fly between them. Jesse gets the upper hand and pounds Walt's face mercilessly, breaking his glasses and leaving him a bloody mess. The action catches up with the teaser from the beginning of the show as Walt tries to pick up his glasses. Jesse asks Walt if he can walk and the older man nods weakly. Jesse then tells him to get out of his house and never come back, which Walt does after one last look back at his former friend.
I think we all knew that some kind of showdown between Walt and Jesse was inevitable, but I didn't expect them to beat the crap out of each other in such a vicious way. Their friendship has been tested before and I'm sure that they will eventually reconcile again. However, it's still a little hard to see how they can come back from this point. There were a few times during the fight where it really seemed like they were trying to kill each other.
Without Jesse, the closest thing that Walt has to a friend is Hank, and he can't afford to take him into his confidence. One of the funniest moments of the episode came when Walt told Hank that he enjoyed his company and he wanted to be there when Hank investigated the Superlab location. Hank is proving again to be a little too competent for Walt's liking, as his suspicions have led him closer and closer to the core of Gus' criminal empire. For Walt's exit strategy, he doesn't seem to have any real plan other than making sure that Gus is dead first. He may share that desire with Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), but Saul would sell Walt out in a heartbeat to save himself.
Gus also seems to be trapped in the face of an enemy even more ruthless than he is. He clearly doesn't want any part of the cartel in his life and he even tried to buy them off a few episodes back. It turns out that the cartel's demands did involve Walt, just not in the way that I expected. They want the blue meth formula and Gus' distribution network, effectively turning Gus from the boss into just another middleman. He's far too proud to fully admit to Jesse just how dire the situation is, but the truth is that Gus' own survival may also depend upon Jesse's skill as a chemist.
Jesse's turn towards Gus and Mike has been very well handled because he asks the right questions and their obvious ulterior motives haven't been ignored. That said, Mike saved Jesse's life during a very real and dangerous situation. Mike wouldn't have done that if he didn't care about Jesse on some level. Even later in the episode, Mike practically told Walt to consider Jesse one his men and not to speak to him.
In her storyline, Skyler is proving to be adept at running a fraudulent business. The car wash is close to turning a prophet but she still rings up fake transactions so she can launder more of Walt's drug money. Her airhead act for the CID agent was pretty funny and an impressive way to fool him. Although it seems clear that she's going to have to dig into Walt's drug money to pay off Ted's debts… which is just asking for more trouble. Particularly when Ted asks where the money came from…
It's hard to believe how quickly this season has flown by, "Breaking Bad" remains one of the most riveting shows on television and it looks like the series is building towards another epic season finale in just a few weeks.
Crave Online Rating: 8.5 out of 10.

Competitors are swamped competing in the Mud Run challenge
Organisers say there is nothing tougher but that didn't stop over 6,000 competitors turning up to compete in the world famous Mud Run challenge.
If running 10km wasn't challenging enough, competitors also had to navigate troublesome obstacle courses, tough river crossings and a gruelling 30-foot mud pit.
Described as a 'filthy festival of fun', the world famous Mud Run attracts competitors around the globe keen to take on the endurance course.
US Marines were on hand at the weekend event, held at Camp Pendleton, California, however they appeared to be dishing out some tough love as opposed to encouraging advice.
After running up hills and clambering up five-foot-high walls, competitors were finally plunged into a neck-deep pit of mud before slipping and sliding across the finish line.
Several proud participants took to micro-blogging site Twitter after completing the challenge, with one user saying: 'The mud run was amazing today! Had a blast. Definitely doing it again next year! :)'
Another added: 'Completed the Camp Pendleton Mud Run and still in one piece. I call that a victory.'
Established over 20 years ago, the Mud Run remains one of the most popular, and toughest, courses around.

For On The Floor: Repair Services — Room To Improve
EP Editorial Staff | August 20, 2013
By Rick Carter, Executive Editor
Repair or replace? When the answer is "repair," today's maintenance pros usually know right away if the work can be done on-site with in-house staff or if an outside service contractor is needed. When contractors get the nod (as they increasingly do) maintenance teams like to think their equipment is in good hands. But is it? Sometimes yes, often no, say MT's Reader Panelists, most of whom see room for improvement.
Panelists listed their top send-outs as follows (in alpha order): boards; CNC servo controllers; CPUs; drives; gearboxes; meters and other test equipment; motors, especially large-capacity and ECM motors; power supplies; power tools and pumps. Here's what they told us about their repair-service experiences:
Q: How has your use of outside repair services changed in the past five years?
"We used to do our repairs in-house, but we send out almost everything now."
… PM Leader, Midwest
"Five years ago we repaired about 85% of our equipment in-house. Now our administration says in-house repairs are too costly."
…Former Sr. Maintenance Engineer, now a Teacher, West
Q: Why do you use outside repair services?
"Cost and because delivery is often better than the OEM."
… Reliability/Maintenance Engineer, South
"When our trades were downsized, we were left with a staff that worked on machinery only."
… PM Leader, Midwest
"Because they have equipment we don't or they can do the job more cost-effectively."
… Maintenance Supervisor, South
"Our accounting department said a maintenance engineer at $28/hr plus benefits costs us more to repair equipment than to use outside vendors."
…Former Senior Maintenance Engineer, now a Teacher, West
Q: How do you rate the service level you receive from outside repair providers?
"With few exceptions, most of my experiences with outside repair services (other than OEM) have been disappointing. The level of service and quality of repair is almost always substantially lower than promised."
…Reliability/Maintenance Engineer, South
"The service we get now is like a crapshoot. The success rate for our main repair house is about 60/40. We get back repairs that are incorrect or fail in a short period of time. Our tradesmen are very unhappy with anything that has been repaired there."
… PM Leader, Midwest
"Our [main] vendor has always been open and responsive to our needs."
… Maintenance Coordinator, Mid-Atlantic
"The primary machine shop we use has served us over 20 years, and although they are an hour away, they offer pickup and delivery. They do quality work at a fair cost, and are available 24/7. However, we have been unimpressed with electronic repair services we've used in the last five years. Many parts are returned as 'repaired' that did not pass incoming inspection."
… Maintenance Supervisor, South
"Rating outside vendors seems to depend on the service contract we have with that organization. Sometimes they are average and other times they are real bad. The vendors we use today come from a "Vendor Approved" list set up by Purchasing. This is a problem because many of these vendors are not local, costs are high, repairs are slow and quality is poor. It is difficult to add vendors we would like on the list."
…Former Sr. Maintenance Engineer, now a Teacher, West
"The service level has dropped off in recent years."
…Production Support Manager, Midwest
Q: How could your provider(s) improve their service, if necessary?
"Many service companies will take on work they are not equipped to repair. They often lack knowledge of the component, necessary test equipment or are unable to obtain the right parts. When these situations occur, the outcome is almost always negative for the customer."
…Reliability/Maintenance Engineer, South
"They should do what they promise and not tell the customer they can provide a service or meet a deadline if they can't. When they lose my trust, I will no longer do business with them, no matter the cost."
… Maintenance Supervisor, South
"Service should be done right the first time. Too many times, service is not done correctly and repeat visits are needed."
… Production Support Manager, Midwest
"Providers should become better partners to understand what customers need, and treat all customers the same, regardless of size."
…Former Sr. Maintenance Engineer, now a Teacher, West
Q: What are the best and worst experiences you have had with outside service providers?
"The worst was having to send a circuit board out for repair more than four times to get it repaired correctly."
… Production Support Manager, Midwest
"Best: After-hours we needed a part that was not available anywhere. [Our provider] fabbed a new part overnight from our specification, and helped us avoid what could have been a significant loss of materials. The worst: We sent a critical pump to a vendor who returned it improperly assembled and it failed on startup. The repair cost was high, the pump was not delivered on time and it resulted in two days lost production."
…Maintenance Supervisor, South
"The best experiences I have had seem to be with small, well-established family-run companies. These companies are local and take interest in our success as well as theirs. The worst experiences are with large, out-of-the-area, companies. Their techs often speak little English, do not listen to our need and blame our operators or maintenance staff for problems."
…Former Sr. Maintenance Engineer, now a Teacher, West
Be clear about everything
Communication and follow-up take on added importance when dealing with repair services. Clear instructions are necessary, backed by the ability to ensure that providers follow them. "Holding them contractually responsible for their work" is key, says a Panelist who has learned the hard way. His site put an end to questionable rebuilds and sloppy workmanship by enhancing contract language and reminding providers what was expected of them. "Once they realized they would have to absorb the cost for inferior work," he says, "they improved their Q.C. and management oversight, and the problems went away."
Another Panelist recommends a dose of skepticism coupled with standard monitoring metrics. "There are some great repair companies out there," he notes, "but don't believe everything they tell you. Track your repair success and failure data for six months or a year, and you will have no problem identifying the good or bad ones."
In the meantime, to make better repair/ replace decisions, consider using a decision tree. One Panelist shared those his operation uses with AC and DC motors. Based on guidelines from the U.S. Department of Energy's MotorMaster Program, they're available for download here. MT

It says "User Not Found"
anyone else having the same problem?
Yup. Happens now and then every year.
me too
Same here.
it started last night for me. glad that i'm not the only one :)
OK I was able to log back on now :)
What ever will my crappy team do without me?
Oh, that's right, it'll suck.
I got on earlier today. Yup - I'm still leading my division and just posted my highest score of the season. :p
Now I can't get on again.
Just wanted to say that this is the reason that a new site is so appealing. Even if it goes down, there's someone around to address the issue. It's a family thing.
Sure, your brother might not be as good at carpentry as the guy in the phone book, but at least he'll feel obligated to answer his phone.
So, where's our brother in law & how's our site coming around.
Still can't get on. :unimpress
I've been on several times this evening.

Canberra Raiders' Anthony Milford and Brisbane Broncos half-back Ben Hunt are the new faces for the meeting with New South Wales a week on Wednesday, while injured trio Billy Slater, Daly Cherry-Evans and Greg Inglis have all been named.
Cherry-Evans is expected to overcome a knee problem to take Cooper Cronk's place at number seven, but there are grave concerns over Inglis (ankle) and Slater (shoulder) for a match the Maroons must win to keep the series alive.
The return of veteran Sam Thaiday from injury is one piece of positive news.
"We're taking a little bit of a different tack because of the current injury situation," Queensland Rugby League chairman Peter Betros said in explaining the rationale behind the extended squad.
"We normally announce 19 players, but, because of the uncertainty over several players, we're going to announce 22 players.
"As the week goes on and the injury situation becomes clearer, (coach) Mal (Meninga) will finalise the team and get it down to the required number."
New South Wales will announce their team in Sydney on Tuesday.
Full squad:
Darius Boyd (Newcastle Knights), Will Chambers (Melbourne Storm), Daly Cherry-Evans (Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles), Matt Gillett (Brisbane Broncos), Aidan Guerra (Sydney Roosters), Justin Hodges (Brisbane Broncos), Ben Hunt (Brisbane Broncos), Greg Inglis (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Jacob Lillyman (Warriors), Chris McQueen (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Anthony Milford (Canberra Raiders), Nate Myles (Gold Coast Titans), Josh Papalii (Canberra Raiders), Corey Parker (Brisbane Broncos), Matt Scott (North Queensland Cowboys), Billy Slater (Melbourne Storm), Cameron Smith (Melbourne Storm), Brent Tate (North Queensland Cowboys), Ben Te'o (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Sam Thaiday (Brisbane Broncos), Johnathan Thurston (North Queensland Cowboys), Willie Tonga (Parramatta Eels)

DENVER, JULY 11, 2001 ? Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q), the broadband communications company, today announced that it has more than one million wireless customers. The company said that solid demand for its integrated communication services bundles has helped spur sales of wireless phones and additional wireless data applications.
?We have had extraordinary demand for Qwest wireless service in each of our 12 markets,? said Annette Jacobs, president of Qwest Wireless. "We differentiate ourselves from our competitors with a simple, easy-to-use wireless solution and suite of Qwest services. We have significantly expanded our market presence and continue to see strong sales growth year over year, which set a record in June."
Qwest wireless is the only wireless company able to seamlessly integrate wireless voice and data functionality with wire line office or home telephone service, paging and Internet browsing, e-mail and information streaming services previously accessible only by office or home.
The company has found that integrated and bundled service offerings have helped accelerate demand for Qwest wireless services. More than half of Qwest?s wireless customers choose integrated services such as Qwest's One Number Service or Voice Messaging Link. In addition, during the first quarter of 2001, sales of small business bundles grew approximately 117 percent, while 28 percent of the company?s local customers subscribed to a bundled service - a 44 percent increase over the first quarter of 2000.
By the end of the second quarter of 2002, the company expects to offer long-distance services as part of its business and consumer bundles, after it gains approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to offer these services in the 14-states where it provides local service.
Qwest currently expects to file for FCC approval for one state in the third quarter of this year, and to file for approval in the remaining states later in the year or early next year. Qwest expects to be in the long-distance business in one state by the end of this year and throughout the region in the second quarter of 2002.

43 — By Tim Clark
May 2001
|Primed for enhanced style and comfort? Check out the Silverton 43 Motor Yacht.
In any given month I
spend the equivalent of a full workweek on airplanes to and from a host
of boat shows, boat yards, and boat tests. Waiting to board a flight to
Florida not long ago, I did my best to mentally prepare for another three
hours crammed into coach, only for my Zen-like resignation to be crushed
as I passed through the first-class section. How cruel of airlines to
confront you with those comfortable travelers sprawled in plush armchairs
decked out with all kinds of gadgetry. When I reached my seat back in
the 67th row, I took out my wallet and dealt frequent-flier memberships
over my cramped lap as if laying down tarot cards. As usual, my miles
were spread too thin. When oh when would there be an upgrade in my future?

Ignoring irrelevant arguments is a time-honored Unix tradition that contributes significantly to the usefulness of cc, for example. Would you be happy if cc rejected -D when being used only to link, say?

Harajuku girl goes bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!
Pop princess Gwen Stefani became a Disney princess for Kate Hudson's Halloween party in the Brentwood area of L.A. on Saturday night.
The singer, designer and mother of two, 42, transformed into Cinderella with absolutely stunning results.
Stefani donned the scullery-maid-turned-belle-of-the-ball's trademark powder-blue gown, white gloves and blonde updo with tiara.
No word yet on what Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3 -- her adorable, fashion-forward boys with hubby Gavin Rossdale -- will wear for their trick-or-treating outing this year.
The "Harajuku Girls" singer isn't the first star to channel a Disney character for Halloween. Kim Kardashian was Aladdin's Jasmine in 2009, and Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and their twins Moroccan and Monroe dressed up as The Incredibles last week, among many others.
Tell Us: Does Stefani make a pretty Disney princess?

The township of Terrace Bay has re-branded itself.
After years of planning, and months of construction, the municipality's $3-million downtown revitalization project is nearly complete.
Carmelo Notarbartolo, chief administrative officer for the Corporation of the Township of Terrace Bay, said it is close to being 100 per cent ready.
Funded by the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC), FedNor, the Rural Economic Development program, the Community Adjustment Fund and the Township of Terrace Bay, the project has been in the works since January, 2007, with construction starting last July.
"We can't really stress enough how great our partners have been," said Sean Irwin, special projects co-ordinator for Terrace Bay. "(With) our government partners and our corporate partners, all around we have had excellent support."
There are three elements involved in the project. The first is a 50-foot lighthouse.
According to Irwin, 800,000 motorists travel the highway which joins Simcoe Plaza to the downtown area. The plan was to find a way to hook them to the municipality.
When the township conducted its initial study for the downtown revitalization, it hired an architect to do the drawings.
"One of the initial conversations we had with him is we wanted to have something that Terrace Bay is known for and that people wanted to see," said Notarbartolo. "We came up with the lighthouse idea."
The entire municipality re-invented itself around the lighthouse, and designed a new town logo which prominently showcases the newly-constructed attraction on it.
"We want to become known for the lighthouse," said Irwin. "So we gave it this real fresh and connected look to it."
The second portion to the project – and the biggest – is the Simcoe Plaza area, where the majority of the businesses are located.
Streetscaping was completed, canopies were renovated and upgraded, and streetlights were changed.
"We are in the process of doing all the landscaping," said Notarbartolo. "And a lot of stone work as well."
Irwin said that they now feel the municipality is ready for investment, and has received significantly more interest in the properties in the area.
Out of the entire 30 businesses connected together – similar to an outdoor mall– there are three vacant properties available.
There are also five operating businesses for sale.
"We've given several tours, and responded to inquires," said Irwin. "We noticed a lot more interest in the property."
The final portion of the project, which costs approximately 10 per cent of the entire budget, went towards newly constructed signs spread throughout the township and the highway.
"We felt that was very important," said Notarbartolo. "We wanted the travelling public to know ahead of time before they got into town, to start thinking about stopping in Terrace Bay."
Overall, Irwin said the entire project was designed and built around the idea to encourage business growth and help create and save jobs in the area.
"We know that this project has been uncomfortable for some, with the months of construction," he said. "But our businesses have been amazing.
Activities still outstanding with the project include the completion of a themed wave on the canopies, the reinstallation of business signs on the canopies, finishing painting the railings and inside of the lighthouse, landscaping through the downtown area, painting the wave on the concrete sidewalk and some stonework on column bases.

A Wednesday bond hearing in one of Lancaster's recent street killings revealed a suspected connection between that case and another murder two weeks later.
Prosecutors asserted that Allen Cooper, a 17-year-old Lancaster High basketball player killed April 26 outside Hope on the Hill, participated in the April 11 drive-by murder of Mar'Quise "Mini Me" Evans.
A Buford man who was supposed to be helping an ailing neighbor around the house has been charged with stealing more than $21,000 in cash, jewelry and other items over the past year and half.
Jody Burnett Hartley, 48, of 4712 Tabernacle Road, is charged with grand larceny more than $10,000, forgery less than $10,000, theft of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
According to the sheriff's office incident report, a 71-year-old man and his wife who live near Hartley reported thefts totaling $21,350 on Aug. 31.
A trip through a license checkpoint didn't end well for a Lancaster man after a sheriff's deputy spotted a bag of marijuana on the man's floorboard while he was trying to hide an open can of beer.
Manly Maurice Thompson, 41, of 1639 Franandel Drive, Lancaster, was arrested on one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance (marijuana) after deputies discovered more than 2 pounds of marijuana and associated paraphernalia.
A teacher's aide at Indian Land Elementary School was charged Monday with stealing about $8,500 from her second job at a cupcake shop in Fort Mill.
Melanie Marie Kikta, 35, 1004 Bailes Ridge Ave., Indian Land, was placed on paid administrative leave by the Lancaster County School District after district officials learned about the case over the weekend, said Bryan Vaughn, district safety director.
A Lancaster man has been charged with heroin trafficking after his wife accused him of beating her and holding her against her will.
In addition to the heroin charge, William James Beckham, 43, of 1665 Ruth St., is also charged with first-degree domestic violence and kidnapping.
According to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report, the victim said she snuck out of the house about 5 a.m. Sept. 9 and walked 3 miles for help at the home of a woman she knew, who then called deputies.
Lancaster County will soon have its first no-kill pet sanctuary and will begin providing a safe haven to shelter pets by the end of September.
In June, the Indian Land-based nonprofit rescue group Paws in the Panhandle bought Palmetto Kennels, located off U.S. 521 just past Shiloh Unity Road north of Lancaster.
It's a change in direction for Paws founder Gloria Davey, who had bought land in Fort Mill and planned to build a shelter from scratch there.
A Lancaster teen charged with murdering a 42-year-old man two years ago was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday after pleading guilty to lesser charges in Lancaster County General Sessions Court.
Derrick Leron Stalk, 18, formerly of 2125 Walden Road, pleaded guilty to one count each of voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during commission of a violent crime in the Oct. 3, 2015, killing of Jeffrey Dale Barrett of 2167 Thomasville St.

We report an ultra-long Raman laser that implemented a variable pumping scheme in backward and forward configurations. Rayleigh backscattering effects were realized in the 51 km fiber length that functioned as a virtual mirror at one fiber end. With the employment of a fiber Bragg grating that has a peak reflection wavelength at 1553.3 nm, spectral broadening effects were observed. These occurred as the pump power level was diverted more to the forward direction. Owing to this fact, a maximum width of 0.9 nm was measured at 100% forward pumping. The obtained results show that the efficient exploitation of four-wave mixing interactions as well as strong Rayleigh backscattering are beneficial to influence the lasing performances. Both of these nonlinear responses can be adjusted by varying pumping distributions along the fiber longitudinal dimension.

Brody Is Not the Only Thing Keeping Lindsay Warm
Brody Is Not the Only Thing Keeping Lindsay Warm
If Lindsay Lohan is trying to get on PETA's bad side, she sure did a great job of making a statement in not one but two fur jackets while out and about in NYC on Saturday. She hit up Da Silvano and the Waverly Inn in her shiny spandex and a ton of eyeliner. Maybe she was getting all made up to have a secret rendezvous with Mr. Brody Jenner? On the other hand, they weren't spotted together again, so it's possible they just kept things to racy text messages instead.

Roberto Mancini's side have opened initial talks with the forward's representative over a summer switch but the Paris Saint-Germain boss insists the Swede will remain in France
Goal.com exclusively revealed in April that City's director of football Txiki Begiristain has opened initial negotiations with Ibrahimovic's agent, Mino Raiola, over a potential move at the end of the season.
But Ancelotti is adamant the 31-year-old forward, who has 32 goals in his first season in France, will remain with the Ligue 1 leaders beyond the current campaign.
"Many teams would like to have Zlatan, but it's PSG's luck that he plays here and is doing a fine job," Ancelotti told Sky Sport 24.
"He will still be with PSG next year, as will [Marco] Verratti."

home defense rifle
I use an old Winchester 94 30-30
My mini 14
the wife and i used to use our bcm carbines but we switched to the ak47 simply because if we had to use em its better to lose a elcheapo ak47 to the evidence locker for a few months than a really nice pricy ar15.
AR15 is the only rifle I own that would be practical in home defense...but one of my two shotguns would likely be the first thing I grabbed out of the safe.
I should rephrase that home and property defense I live on a farm in the ozarks
A lever action 30-30 is one of the few deer rifles that make a good home defense rifle. I have one but opt for the shotgun instead when I need a go to long gun.
Akm 7.62x39 30 rd mags hollow point. If it breaks in my home be it human or animal its going down
I like my Marlin .44 mag. Got .44 spec gold dots for first 3, then .44 mag soft point 240s.
We occasionally have problems with large critters.
My rifles are a last resort home defense after the pistols and shotguns. But if needed my rifle of choice is the AR-15. But if we are talking close range I would prefer my AR-22.
I would have to say my SKS is the most practical HD weapon I have. I have a 10 round stripper clip on my nightstand and the rifle and bayonet are at the ready on the wall above me. It's more of my 3rd line of defense. Alarm system, a blue heeler that barks at the slightest movement anywhere near the fence, then the SKS.
