Taking the Ouch Out of Tech Support
(ContentDesk) October 11, 2005 -- With its offices in Camden Town - London, GadgetDoc provides consumers a utopian view of what tech support can be, when done right. Only using expert engineers who would normally get brought out as a third line of defence in most technical support services, GadgetDoc places a huge premium on something that is often forgotten in Technical Support - the customers valuable time. "Our customers are very busy people who have much better things to do with their time than to sit around waiting for the support line to pick up or for an engineer to arrive on time," said Babis Lagoussis, Sales Manager. GadgetDoc's revolutionary approach means that it places the onus on its engineers to get the work done on time and on budget. "We work on a fixed fee for success, meaning that if we do not fix your problem, we don't charge you.
If we take too long to fix it, then that's our problem too." So gone are the days when you nervously pace behind the support engineer as he sucks his breath and says "that's going to cost you". "Our customers are paying for our expertise, and we validate that by giving them exactly what they want, when they want it and at an expected cost." GadgetDoc services are limited only by the extensive expertise of its engineers. The business currently supports small business and home offices including hardware and software issues as well as networking solutions and audio visual - home theater installations.GadgetDoc services are currently limited to within the M25, with the company's environment-friendly Prius hybrid-electric cars being spotted in everywhere from the City of London and Hampstead to Kensington and Chelsea.For more information contact:GadgetDoc Babis Lagoussis+44(0)2074280039.
Chef Supplies
Being a chef includes much more than just proper attire and good culinary skills. Particularly, a head chef must be able to wield a kitchen knife with expertise, and face all the various problems that might arise in a kitchen.
A chef must include mitts or gloves in the attire, as dealing with hot dishes would be a part of the job in course of work. A chef must also be well versed in removing all those stains and splatters that would be found on the work clothes. Also, the temperature of certain items must be perfect, and the chef must be able to keep track of this by using chef thermometers.
Be it a souffl? or a hot pie right from the oven, a correct temperature setting is very essential for that perfect taste.
Knives play a very important role in a chef's life. The appropriate knife must be used to cut either vegetables or meat or even to carve vegetables for a good salad spread. A seven-course meal would require the chef to produce a spread good enough...

Recycling Export Reform Group Unveils New e-certification Process
Washington, DC (ContentDesk) January 31, 2006 -- Out with the old, in with the new.
January is the month for the sweeping out of used home electronics.
Computers are replaced at Christmas, and new TVs are purchased for Superbowl Sunday. People across the country wonder, what to do with the old electronics?A new electronic certification program sponsored by a non-profit trade association, located at www.wr3a.org, will make that task a little easier.The program is being written by a non-profit export reform group, active in electronics recycling issues.
According to several officials in government and overseas, it is easy to use and makes enormous sense.
The program is based on the transaction, not the user or the destination.
WR3A president Robin Ingenthron explains, "USDA certifies beef, not the butcher.
What may be appropriate to one buyer may be waste to another.
WR3A is trying to focus on which materials are easy to donate,...

Rodent Proofing Your Home
It's that time of year where rats and mice are apt to enter our homes. Lets talk a bit about their abilities and senses first. Rats and mice cannot see very good beyond 3 or 4 feet but have a very good sense of motion up to 30 to 50 feet away and for the most part they are color blind. Rodents are most active at night. These rodents have a very good sense of taste so baits may be rejected by them if they are contaminated with insecticides or odors from other chemicals.
Even touching baits after smoking a cigarette will make these rodents to shy away from the baits. Rats and mice also have a good sense of smell. They mark pathways with urine and use their sense of smell to recognize the odors of the pathway to and from food sources. Their hearing is much better than humans and make noises in various situations such as mating. Rodents have a highly developed sense of touch due to their sensitive body hairs.
They rely heavily on touch and smell to guide them through movements....

Leaner, Meaner Air Compressors that Won?t Let You Down
The challenge of containing energy and maintenance costs while ensuring a reliable supply of available air is a prime reason why many industrial users of compressed air are turning to direct-drive electric air compressor systems.By eliminating moving parts such as belts, gears and pulleys, direct-drive rotary screw air compressors have fewer moving parts; hence, they are less likely to fail or require service or replacement parts. Fewer moving parts also mean added efficiency, which translates into energy savings. "We were frequently running out of air with our piston compressors," says Jim Cook, Construction Manager of Pick Your Part, the nation's leading self-service auto wrecker. "Now we use 25- and 30-HP direct drive units from Sullivan-Palatek to ensure that we can meet our demand for continuous and efficient air availability."With nine large yards located throughout California, Pick Your...

Economic Relief Just a Coupling Away
What's the obvious difference between a Diesel engine and electric motor?
It isn't the power source as much as the vibration. California farmers in particular discovered this difference when market conditions forced a switch to Diesel engine instead of electric motors, to run the pumps that irrigate fields and orchards.
The farmers rapidly discovered how constant vibrations can damage connected equipment. A coupling helped dampen the vibrations, but the only style that fit their pumps were designed for marine applications ? built for a different industry and priced out of reach for an ordinary agricultural operation.???Price is an issue no more. Introducing the LV-Torsional coupling from Lovejoy, Inc.
of Downers Grove, Illinois, designed and built to offer an inexpensive, economical alternative for the agricultural market and off-highway construction equipment industry. Two different styles are available; the LV-Torsional coupling for u-joint drive systems and...

KUA Warns of Real-Life 'Fear Factor'
A disturbing scene in an upcoming episode of "Couples Fear Factor" has prompted Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) to step up electrical safety warnings to its customers.In the episode, scheduled to air on the NBC television network on Monday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. (EST), participants stand at a high-voltage electric substation and receive "minor" nuisance shocks."The reality of what would happen to anyone in this circumstance is far more tragic than portrayed in this show," says Chris Gent, KUA's manager of corporate communications. "This portrayal sends a disturbing message to viewers that playing around electric utility equipment is safe -- or, worse yet, a game. Nothing could be further from the truth."Substations contain equipment that is very dangerous to touch.
All substations, including those owned by KUA, are protected by fences or walls and have warning and high-voltage signs posted on them. An individual should never attempt to climb over or crawl under these fences or...
