San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 </p>
<p> New York City interior designer Allison Caccoma of Caccoma Interiors is pleased to announce the opening of her San Francisco design office. Located in the elegant neighborhood of Presidio Heights on Sacramento Street, in an office shared with luxury residential architect Andrew Skurman, the new office is the ideal location to best accommodate her ever-growing client base.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Caccoma Interiors San Francisco design office will serve Bay Area clients located in San Francisco, Marin, the Peninsula, the East Bay and Silicon Valley. With the growing tech boom the Bay Area has been experiencing, Caccoma sees a growing audience for the interior design and architectural consultation services her firm provides. The rich architectural history that San Francisco Bay Area homes present are a perfect fit for Caccomas mix of modern luxury, fresh color palates and timeless classicism that result in thoroughly livable, comfortable homes.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Caccoma took the opportunity of opening this new office to launch a new website that reflects her exciting next step. Published in House Beautiful and At Home magazines, Caccoma Interior&#8217;s work can be viewed at http://www.caccomainteriors.com</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About Allison Caccoma</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Former Wall Street Treasury salesperson and native New Yorker, Allison Caccoma received her design training at the New York School of Interior Design, earning her degree in Applied Science.  Upon graduation, she had the good fortune to go to work at the firm of design legend Bunny Williams. Under Williams seven-year tutelage and mentorship, Caccoma had the opportunity to design and decorate some of the country&#8217;s most significant private homes including formal estates in Ohio and Connecticut, and Bunny Williams personal seaside villa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Following one year with respected contemporary designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, she set out on her own, founding Caccoma Interiors in 2006. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Caccomas residential design projects span the United States, including homes in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Florida and California.  She brought her innate New York style sensibility and sources to California in 2011 with the opening of her office in Presidio Heights, San Francisco. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Caccoma Interiors Design Philosophy and Services</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Allison Caccomas design philosophy embraces a modern aesthetic that is rooted in classicism and inherent timelessness.  Mixing the whimsy and elegance of the past with stimulating color palates, unconventional textures and materials along with unusual objects, she helps clients define and express their own tastes and visions in order to create a comfortable home that will endure ever changing trends.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Caccomas experience and services are comprehensive and include architectural consultation and construction collaboration to compliment all aspects of the decoration of a home.  Caccoma offers her considered advice and inspiration to clients, resulting in homes and spaces that are inviting, engaging and luxurious yet inherently livable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 10, 2012 </p>
<p> The Post Oak School will open the doors of its High School to the public on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for a walk through of the newly renovated building. The single-story structure, located in the Museum District, was built in the 1970s and features glass walls on its east and west sides, an open floor plan, flexible learning spaces, a science lab, and a multi-disciplinary studio workshop. Originally constructed as an office building and later occupied by a linen rental business, the structure was completely renovated to make way for an airy, light-filled learning facility.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Located on a bus line and just a short walk from the metro rail, the building allows students easy access to the schools partner institutions such as the Houston Museum of Natural Science, The Houston Zoo, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It also serves as a staging ground for younger Post Oak students who travel to the Museum District for outings from the schools main campus in Bellaire.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.&#13;<br />
<br />Where: Post Oak High School at 1102 Autrey St., Houston, TX 77006</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Final teaching position filled&#13;<br />
<br />Dr. Jan Ott has joined the Post Oak High School teaching team as the science specialist. Dr. Ott comes to Post Oak from Chinquapin Preparatory School in Highlands, Texas, just east of Houston. She has been teaching high school and middle school science and mathematics at Chinquapin for the past two years and before that taught science and integrated studies for over 20 years at The Evergreen State College in Washington. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Dr. Ott holds a BS in Biology from Sarah Lawrence College and a PhD in Neurophysiology from the University of Southern California with a focus on the neuroplasticity of the brain. Her broad post-secondary teaching experience gives her a strong base for creating and participating in a rigorous, reality-based science curriculum that emanates from the school lab and culminates in applied student interests throughout Houstons Museum District. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With this position filled, the full-time teaching team is complete: Jeremy Grisbee, mathematics and Spanish; Dr. Jan Ott, sciences; and Dr. James Quillan, humanities. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The high school faculty team will begin planning the 201213 academic year next month in the new building, as well as continuing the work towards International Baccalaureate (IB) authorization.</p>

<p>About TCA</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Toronto Construction Association was founded in February 1867 by a group of 58 Canadian construction industry executives. The association&#8217;s mandate in those early days was to promote the highest possible standards of professionalism in an industry characterized by stiff competition and often razor thin margins.&#13;<br />
<br />Today, more than 145 years later, not much has changed. Our membership is bigger, of course, with more than 2,200 member companies representing something approaching 300,000 local construction industry practitioners, but our mandate is ostensibly the same</p>

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 08, 2012 </p>
<p> Cymbet Corporation announced today that they are teaming with Micross Components to distribute and package Cymbets entire family of EnerChip Smart Solid State Batteries and ultra low power management IC solutions in bare die form.  Cymbets EnerChips are constructed on silicon wafers using semiconductor processing techniques which make them perfect for co-packaging with other Integrated Circuits carried on the Micross line card.   Energy storage can now be embedded directly into a single miniature multi-chip package. Embedded energy opens up new innovative product capabilities that previously could not be realized with legacy energy storage devices. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Micross Components is an ideal partner for Cymbet as they specialize in bare die distribution and hi-reliability microelectronics component assembly and integration, said Bill Priesmeyer Cymbet CEO. The aim of Micross is to provide a single solution to a customers requirements and now they can offer integrated EnerChip batteries that will solve previously unmet needs.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>EnerChips Go Where Batteries and Super Caps Can Not&#13;<br />
<br />The EnerChip Solid State batteries have a footprint as small as the CBC005 bare die that is 1.375mm by 0.85mm by 200 microns thick. CBC012 and CBC050 provide more energy storage in similarly small footprints.  In addition, Micross will be offering the CBC910 EnerChip power management IC bare die that provides all the functions listed in the Cymbet EnerChip CC series of products.  Background information on EnerChip bare die can be found at http://www.cymbet.com/products/embedded-energy.php.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>We are extraordinarily pleased to have Cymbet as our embedded energy partner, said Tony Hamby Micross General Manager.  Combining the EnerChip battery line with the wide range of components that we already offer in die format, enhances our ability to act as a comprehensive IC solutions provider to the high-reliability markets we supportdefense, space, medical, oil and energy exploration.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Evaluate EnerChips as Packaged Parts Before Designing with Bare Die&#13;<br />
<br />Cymbet makes it easy to experiment with EnerChip solid state batteries before utilizing bare die by using one of two EnerChip CC evaluation kits:&#13;<br />
</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
 ????CBC-EVAL-05 EnerChip CC Evaluation Kit contains everything needed to test EnerChip 12uAh and 50uAh thin film batteries, EnerChip CC CBC3112 and CBC3150 batteries with Integrated Battery Management, and multiple batteries in parallel. This kit will also include a CBC3105 evaluation board for experimenting with this tiny 4mm x 5mm packaged device.  Using an EnerChip bare die solution from Micross is an even smaller footprint implementation.  &#13;</p>
<p> ????CBC-EVAL-06 Real-Time-Clock Evaluation Kit: includes a Microcrystal NV2123 Real-Time Clock device and a CBC3112 EnerChip CC for battery backup. This kit also includes a Windows based Graphical User Interface to set the clock &amp; test RTC operation in backup and count-down modes.
<p>Included with all Cymbet evaluation kits are full datasheets and application notes that include reference designs and schematics, said Steve Grady, VP Marketing at Cymbet. We provide all the information designers need for easy EnerChip bare die integration into their new products on http://www.cymbet.com.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>

Evesham, Worcestershire (PRWEB UK) 5 May 2012 </p>
<p> Lawn-Mowers-Shop (LMS) has been in operation for pretty much an entire year now and after seeing quite a lot of traffic &amp; success last summer, the guys managing the site hope to see the same in 2012. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The domain name of the website makes it fairly obvious what the site is selling; lawn mowers and a huge variety of them as well. With varying brand names and models on offer, there is surely something here to please everyone; unless of course you dont have any grass&#8230; </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Its important for websites to target their season; for example if a website selling snow shovels promotes and advertises primarily in summer, its pretty much a lost cause. Thats why focusing all these marketing efforts on specific seasons and times of year can have huge benefits for a website. Last year proved cylinder lawn mowers to be a huge hit; the team are currently trying to guess what the hit product this year will be.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The site has undergone some significant improvements over the last couple of months and deadlines for work being carried out was pushed forward to March when the sun was gleaming and temperatures were soaring. But since the last 4-5 weeks have been rather dismal, more work has been carried out in anticipation of the sun coming out to play over the summer months. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>All of the improvements have led to an increase in site speed, usability and accessibility. These 3 factors are critical to a users experience on the site, this should never be overlooked. For the simple reason that; if a customer doesnt like or isnt able to browse the website to an adequate standard  they will leave, no questions asked. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Scott Morris, Marketing Manager and the prime implementer of the majority of these changes commented: Its all about ensuring the customer enjoys their time on the site and understands where they are and what theyre doing. If at any point they become confused or unsure, theyll hit the back button, which is the opposite of what we want. The changes improve navigation and make finding the product the customer came to buy, much easier. For example, if you came to buy petrol lawn mowers then theres a specific group to compare those types of lawnmower. Its optimised to a high level, but we still welcome any feedback, positive or negative as we can draw constructiveness from either. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Lawn-Mowers-Shop is a sub-site of GardenToolbox and they both operate on the ever-expanding Plumbworld Network which currently boasts an astounding 50+ websites which sell everything from Bemis toilet seats and shower enclosures to Franke kitchen sinks and leaf blowers. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading, started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006. The business now employs more than 50 people in its purpose built warehouse and offices and has a total turnover in excess of ?18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 03, 2012 </p>
<p> Metro Construction, Inc, was recently recognized by multiple industry leaders for their performance and dedication to value, helping customers get the most out of rebates and warranties for roofing and insulation.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The construction company, which services the entire Front Range region, is one of only about 200 Platinum Preferred Contractors with Owens Corning. Owens Corning is a Fortune? 500 company and a leading global producer of residential and commercial building materials, glass-fiber reinforcements and engineered materials for composite systems.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Metro Construction went above and beyond the Platinum Preferred requirements in 2011, and was recognized at the 2012 Platinum Celebration, the annual Owens Corning? awards ceremony in honor of the best contractors in the nation. The company received not one but two awards. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One was for Top Performer  Purchase Volume, indicating that Metro Construction performed more roofing and insulation jobs than any other Platinum Preferred Contractor. The second was Top Performer  Warranty Sales, meaning Metro Construction provided homeowners with more extended roofing warranties than any other Platinum Preferred Contractor.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Were excited, said Metro Construction CEO Jerod Raisch, when asked about the awards. Its great to see our work recognized by such an industry leader.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Metro was able to achieve their impressive sales and warranties by installing over 1,000 roofs last year across the Front Range. Another major factor was helping homeowners save money on their energy bills by installing attic insulation with the AttiCat System, one of the most popular services offered by the company.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Owens Corning awards came hot on the heels of another award. In 2011, Metro Construction was recognized by Xcel Energy for providing the most rebates for attic insulation installation. The company performed thousands of blown-in insulation installations last year, helping homeowners receive the maximum ROI for their investment with rebates and energy savings.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Raisch continued to say, We work our hardest year round to serve homeowners with the best products and warranties around. To find out were the number one provider of Owens Corning? warranties and Xcel Energy rebates is an honor.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Metro Construction is based in Denver, Colorado and provides roofing, insulation, siding, windows, painting and more. They serve homeowners and property managers throughout Colorado and Wyoming, with offices in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Loveland and Cheyenne.

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractors are independent contractors and are neither affiliated with nor agents of Owens Corning? Roofing &amp; Asphalt, LLC, or its affiliated companies. Metro Construction is not affiliated with nor an agent of Xcel Energy?.</p>

Rockville, MD, May 1, 2012 (PRWEB) May 01, 2012 </p>
<p> FileTek, Inc., a leading global provider of large-scale data management, storage virtualization, and active archive solutions, today announced that a panel of esteemed editors and industry analysts selected its StorHouse? data management and storage virtualization solution as a finalist for the prestigious Datacentre Solutions 2012 Storage Software Product of the Year Award. To qualify for this award, a product must demonstrate a strong competitive advantage and a measurable ROI to users. The final award decision will be determined by online public voting through May 7, 2012, at http://www.dcsawards.com/voting. Winners will be honored on May 23, 2012, at a black tie awards ceremony and program at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel and Conference Centre London Kensington.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About StorHouse&#13;<br />
<br />StorHouse is a hardware-independent, multi-functional software platform that automatically stores, validates, retrieves, backs up, archives, and manages terabytes to zettabytes of file-based and relational information on a single, easy-to-access system. Because StorHouse abstracts hardware, users see a single unified global namespace rather than specific device types. SSD, JBOD, RAID, MAID, and tape all look like one unlimited storage pool. In addition, by storing data in native rather than proprietary file format, StorHouse eliminates the need for formal restore procedures. Instead, users have self-service access to StorHouse-managed data at any time without IT intervention. No application interfaces or changes to existing applications are required. &#13;<br />
<br />StorHouse is a full-service system with data analysis, policy-driven migration, and automated storage management features, thereby providing a unified, cost-effective storage experience for users and applications.  By intelligently migrating files from primary storage to the lowest-cost StorHouse-managed media, StorHouse reduces the amount of operational data requiring backup and drives up to a 90% reduction in overall storage costs without changing the way users work with and access data. The end result is unmatched data assurance and access at the lowest cost per petabyte of storage.&#13;<br />
<br /> FileTek thanks the Datacentre Solutions panel of judges for selecting StorHouse as a finalist for the 2012 Storage Software Product of the Year Award. We look forward to the award announcement in May and wish all finalists good luck throughout the public voting period, commented Gary Szukalski, President of FileTek. Our finalist status validates the competitive advantage and measurable ROI that StorHouse provides. And, that value is real. As one of our customers, the Carnegie Institution for Science, attests, StorHouse enhances operational efficiency while providing a 781% ROI and three-month payback period.

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>David Lloyd Leisure runs triathlon clubs that are free to members. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And to get you started for your first or next triathlon, here are some top tips from PSMs specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist, Andrea Havill:&#13;<br />
</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
  Do a brick session  the most challenging part of your first triathlon is getting off the bike and running when your legs feel like bricks;&#13;</p>
<p>  Practise getting out of the swimming pool at speed  it sounds easy, but your arms will be tired after all those laps, so haul yourself out of the pool a few times after each swim;&#13;</p>
<p>  Buy elastic laces for your trainers and practise pulling them on and off at speed  surprisingly hard under pressure;&#13;</p>
<p>  Eat well &#8211; make sure you have nutritious snacks an hour or so before you train and eat protein to aid muscle recovery within 30 minutes of your main training session;  &#13;</p>
<p>  Stay hydrated &#8211;  try to consume at least two litres a day in addition to other drinks you have. In the heat, consider using electrolytes in your drink while training;&#13;</p>
<p>  Have a massage &#8211; give yourself a treat for all that hard work but, more importantly, this will help with muscle recovery and prevent injuries caused by tight muscles;&#13;</p>
<p>  Stretch or use a foam roller  do something proactive to help prevent injury rather than waiting until you feel tight or get niggles;&#13;</p>
<p>  Practise changing your bicycle inner tube  it would be seriously bad luck to get a puncture on the day, but just in case;&#13;</p>
<p>  Make a training plan for your last two months  just so that you know you will complete all the sessions that you feel are needed, including your brick sessions, and stick to it.
