GBI Connects the Red Sea to Milan With Advanced 100G Technology From Xtera

DALLAS, TX and DOHA, QATAR--(Marketwire - Oct 16, 2012) -  Gulf Bridge International (GBI), the Middle East's first carrier neutral regional network, and Xtera Communications Inc. (Xtera), a leading global provider of optical networking solutions, announced the full 100G connectivity between Zafarana cable landing station in Egypt on the Red Sea and Milan Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Italy. Xtera deployed its multi-purpose Nu-Wave Optima™ platform in submarine and terrestrial line terminal equipment configurations delivering 100G waves in both the subsea and land sections of the 5,000-km Zafarana-to-Milan route. The subsea section across the Mediterranean Sea connects Abu Talat, Egypt to Mazara del Vallo, Italy and has been in service since the first quarter of 2012. It is the first commercial repeatered submarine cable system with 100G technology. Working and protect routes compose both terrestrial sections in Egypt and Italy to ensure the highest network availability. The 4,900-km Italy backhaul network was deployed on a mix of fiber types and characteristics. The Italy and Egypt backhaul networks are believed to be the first commercial systems in the world with installed design capacity of 90 x 100G. To ensure maximal network resiliency, colorless and directionless Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) are used for restoration of the traffic in the event of fiber plant failures.

The Zafarana-to-Milan route has its first 100G end-to-end connection with GBI offering routes from Europe to the Middle East and on to Asia. GBI is counting on the most advanced optical networking technology developments to deliver new services to the Middle East and beyond. The 100G line transmission rate deployment, which was announced 9 months ago, is playing a key role in GBI's service delivery strategy.

"We are pleased to be working with Xtera to achieve this landmark 100G deployment in the Mediterranean," commented Mr. Ahmed Mekky, Board Member and CEO of GBI. "Today's announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to be the region's most advanced subsea cable operator and to ensure that our customers benefit from the latest technological advancements."

Xtera's Nu-Wave Optima™ platform is a unique modular optical transport system designed to lower the total cost of ownership by using a common, integrated set of modules for long-haul, unrepeatered and regional repeatered submarine applications. The Nu-Wave Optima™ configuration for regional repeatered submarine cable system includes a line monitoring module used for the supervision of the submerged repeaters.

Being the world's first 100G equipment in the field since the second half of 2011 with soft-decision Forward Error Correction (FEC), Xtera's Nu-Wave Optima™ offers the industry's most advanced 100G solution that is available today for multiple optical networking applications. For terrestrial backbone networks, the Nu-Wave Optima™ equipment delivers an unrivaled line capacity of 15 Tb/s on more than 3,000 km. For unrepeatered applications, a capacity of 34 x 100G was recently transmitted over a cable attenuation exceeding 74 dB.

"Through the completion of backhaul networks in Egypt and Italy, coupled with the first 100G commercial repeatered subsea link, Xtera is extremely pleased to be part of GBI's ambitious project to improve the international connections to the Middle East," said Jon Hopper, President and CEO of Xtera. "GBI's selection of Nu-Wave Optima™ platform further demonstrates the relevancy of Xtera's advanced 100G and optical amplification technologies to improve the capacity and efficiency of any type of optical long-haul transmission infrastructures."

The proven Nu-Wave Optima™ multi-purpose platform offers unparalleled 100G WDM performance in real network conditions based on the combination of the industry's most powerful 100G technology and unique line equipment to face different span configurations. Some examples include:

  • A N x 100G 1,350-km route including a 250-km / 60-dB span;
  • The longest N x 100G all-optical link ever deployed with a reach of 2,500 km, including 24 spans, and going through 9 ROADMS; and
  • 7 Tb/s per fiber pair on a 350-km / 65.5-dB unrepeatered link.

The deployment of 100G Nu-Wave Optima™ solution over 8,000 km of optical routes for GBI represents an additional wide-scale 100G project for Xtera.

The Government of Canada Helps a Young Person in Grand Manan Prepare for the Job Market

GRAND MANAN, NEW BRUNSWICK--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2011) - A local young person facing barriers to employment will get job preparation training and work experience through the Government of Canada's support for an employment project. The Honourable Greg Thompson, Member of Parliament for New Brunswick Southwest, made the announcement today on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

"For many young Canadians, making the transition to the job market is a challenge, especially in today's environment," said Mr. Thompson. "That's why our government is creating opportunities for youth to succeed through support for initiatives like this youth employment project."

With assistance from the federal Skills Link program, the Boys and Girls Club of Grand Manan Island will help an individual develop the skills and experience needed to find a job or the confidence to return to school.

The project participant will develop employment and life skills through a work placement with the organization, which will include tasks such as planning field trips and coordinating after-school activities.

Skills Link helps youth facing barriers to employment, such as single parents, Aboriginal youth, youth with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth living in rural and remote areas, and youth who have dropped out of high school.

The Boys and Girls Club of Grand Manan Island will receive over $10,000 in federal Skills Link funding to support its youth employment project.

This news release is available in alternative formats upon request.

As part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy, the Skills Link program is one of three programs that help young Canadians, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain career information, develop skills, gain work experience, find good jobs and stay employed. The other two programs are Summer Work Experience and Career Focus.

Skills Link helps youth between 15 and 30 years of age who are not receiving Employment Insurance benefits develop basic and advanced employment skills. It assists participants through a coordinated, client-centred approach that offers longer-term supports and services tailored to their specific needs to help them find and keep a job.

Through the 2010 "Jobs and Growth Budget," the Government of Canada committed an additional $60 million to the Skills Link and Career Focus programs. This additional one-time investment will enable more young Canadians to gain the experience and skills they need to successfully participate in the job market while the economy recovers.

Youth employment programs are also part of the Government of Canada's strategy to create the best educated, most skilled and most flexible workforce in the world. The Government underscored its commitment to this strategy in Canada's Economic Action Plan. A key component of the Plan is to create more and better opportunities for Canadian workers through skills development. To learn more about Canada's Economic Action Plan, visit

The Skills Link program is delivered by Service Canada, which provides one-stop personalized services for Government of Canada programs, services and benefits. For more information about this program, visit, call 1 800 O-Canada or drop by your local Service Canada Centre.

Guildhall Drilling Program Doubled in Size. Second Well Completed With Third Well Underway

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - Guildhall Minerals Ltd., operating as Edge Resources (TSX VENTURE:EDE) (PINK SHEETS:GDMHF) ("Edge Resources" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed drilling the Company's second Edmonton Sands well. The well was drilled vertically and conventionally without incident and encountered multiple zones within the Edmonton Sands group. The Company utilized the same "Super-Single" Automatic Drilling Rig (ADR), which continues to perform very well and has now moved to the third location in this recently expanded Edmonton Sands drilling program.

The Company recently doubled the size of this current Edmonton Sands drilling program and is aggressively pursuing "five star" additions to its existing Edmonton Sands land-base, either through acquisitions or farm-in deals.

Drilling on the third well commenced on Tuesday, July 21 and the Company anticipates drilling to be completed before the end of the week.

The Company's fourth and final well of this program is planned be drilled early next week and the Company intends on utilizing the same ADR and crew for the entire four well drilling program.

The Company intends to perforate all four wells after the entire drilling program is completed, in a continued effort to maximize the efficiency from its operations.

Brad Nichol, the Company's President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased with how well things have gone with the current program and are especially pleased with Champion Drilling's (a division of Ensign Drilling Partnership) ADR equipment and personnel. Additionally, Barlon Engineering has done an exceptional job with engineering and supervision. In an industry facing difficult times, it is great to see high calibre people continually raising the performance bar to new levels. This will undoubtedly translate into value creation for our shareholders."

The Company also reports that, at its recently completed annual general and special meeting, the shareholders of Edge Resources unanimously approved the official change of name of the Company from "Guildhall Minerals Inc." to "Edge Resources Inc." in order to better reflect its current business and resolved to continue the Company into the province of Alberta, the location of its current drilling opportunities.

About the Company:

Edge Resources is focused on the development of natural gas from the Edmonton Sands group of formations, a conventional, shallow gas group of reservoirs located in Central Alberta, Canada. The Management Team's very high success rate is based on the safe, efficient deployment of capital and a proven ability to efficiently execute in shallow gas, specifically the Edmonton Sands, which gives Edge Resources a sustainable, low-cost, competitive advantage.

The Alberta Government estimates that there is 44 trillion cubic feet ("TCF") of non-producing, shallow natural gas in Alberta. Edge Resources' Management Team has evaluated over 20,000 sections of land and has identified over 200 "five-star" sections. The Company's development program focuses on pursuing only these highly prospective "five-star" Edmonton Sands prospects.

Oracle's New Ethernet Switches and Virtual Network Services Target Software-Defined Data Centers and Cloud

High Performance, Low Cost Networking Fabric Engineered for the Oracle Stack Enables Customers to Deploy Network Services On-Demand

BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2015) - Mobile World Congress (Hall 3, Stand 3B20) -- Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) addressed two major networking requirements for cloud-enabled data centers today with new high performance, low cost 10Gb/40Gb Ethernet switches and the addition of virtual network services to Oracle SDN. Engineered and integrated to enhance the Oracle stack, the new networking technologies provide the flexibility and scalability for both enterprise data centers and network function virtualization infrastructure.

"Cloud-enabled data centers are only as fast or as agile as their networking allows, which makes the convergence of software-defined networking and network services a next logical step in the evolution of the software-defined data center," said Raju Penumatcha, senior vice president, Netra Systems and Networking, Oracle. "Oracle's new Ethernet switches and virtual network services in Oracle SDN help clear the way for enterprises to deploy key network services faster and gain high performance at the lowest cost."

Oracle Ethernet Switch ES2-72 and Oracle Ethernet Switch ES2-64 are designed to harness the full capabilities of Oracle engineered systems, servers and storage with extremely low-latency and massive scalability for all Oracle applications including Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), as well as financial and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

These high density, low cost Ethernet switches help collapse existing multi-tiered network topologies, simplifying IT infrastructure and reducing costs with fewer cables and simplified management. When deployed with Oracle systems, the new switches can further reduce cost through reuse of existing cabling infrastructure and unified management. The switches are used in Oracle's Netra Modular System and are also available independently.

"The transition to software-defined data centers has created new networking requirements where high speed and low latency are must-haves for most applications," said David Krozier, principal analyst at Ovum. "Oracle's new ES2-64 and ES2-72 Ethernet switches ably address these requirements with impressive performance at what Oracle claims is a very competitive price. Combine these switches with the new virtual network services in Oracle SDN, and unified management across the entire Oracle systems portfolio, and customers now have a compelling new fabric option for building flexible, scalable and agile infrastructure for cloud deployments."

Oracle SDN Unifies InfiniBand and Ethernet Fabrics with New Virtual Network Services

Oracle also added new virtual network services to Oracle SDN, virtually eliminating the need for purpose-built network appliances which lack the scalability and flexibility needed in today's data centers. The new services allow customers to deploy security, load balancing and routing on-demand in a single virtual instance with the ability to configure and manage them in a single pane using Oracle Fabric Manager.

Oracle SDN dynamically connects any virtual machine to any resource and allows for quick deployment of multi-tenant environments via a private virtual interconnect, which delivers up to 80 Gb/sec server-to-server bandwidth to radically accelerate application performance. A single fabric connects up to 1,000 servers and 16,000 private virtual interconnects. With its new virtual network services capabilities, Oracle SDN now extends across the data center and is uniquely able to unify InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics, allowing end-to-end provisioning of network infrastructure from a single management interface.

Oracle SDN supports both SPARC and x86 servers as well as the new Netra Modular System. Oracle SDN also powers engineered systems like Oracle's Virtual Compute Appliance.

"Oracle SDN has simplified and accelerated our data center infrastructure and allowed us the flexibility to support our customers and our growing business needs," said Shlome Seidenfeld, CIO and senior vice president, E-Commerce, B&H Photo Video. "Oracle's high speed, low-latency fabric has given us the performance and agility we needed to accommodate a multi-fold jump in customer traffic to our e-commerce business. We are very excited to see the unveiling of virtual network services as part of the Oracle SDN portfolio."

Oracle Executive Vice President John Fowler will host a webcast at 9 a.m. Pacific today to discuss Oracle networking and today's news in more detail. The networking technologies announced today are also on display at Mobile World Congress in Hall 3, Stand 3B20.

Precision Petroleum Corporation Announces Recompletion on the McNeil #1

Precision Petroleum Corporation, who owns a 10% WI in the McNeil #1 in Section 27, T3N, R1W in Garvin County, Oklahoma, has been notified by the operator of record that they are preparing to reenter the well to complete the Viola Fernvale Limestone. Initially, the well was completed in July of 2006 in the Viola Detrital from 4466 to 4486' (20') with resulting production of 15-20 BBL/day and 40-50 MCFD, but quickly declined to a stripper well due to a limited reservoir. The recompletion in the Viola Fernvale Limestone will require acidizing and fracture treatment of the Limestone Reservoir with the workover appearing to be very encouraging due to production in a nearby offset in the NE/4 of Section 28, 3N-1W, Garvin County. Production from the well from the Viola Fernvale Limestone has cummed 28,445 BBLs of oil with 152,973 MCF as of November 30, 2009. Precision Petroleum Corporation is anticipating the results of the recompletion within the next 10 days with hopefully representative production as in the nearby producing well. We will keep you posted on the results.

Precision Petroleum Corporation is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties in North America. Precision's objective is to seek out and develop opportunities in the oil and natural gas sectors that represent a low risk opportunity. As well, Precision aims to define larger projects that can be developed with Joint Venture Partners. More information about the Company is available at

Savary Capital Corp.

September 29, 2010 18:03 ET

Savary Announces Proposed Qualifying Transaction

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 29, 2010) -

Savary Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SCA.H) ("Savary" or the "Company"), a Capital Pool Company, has entered into a letter of intent dated September 21, 2010, amended September 24, 2010, with NeutriSci International Inc. ("NeutriSci"), a private corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to acquire NeutriSci as its Qualifying Transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") (the "RTO"). Savary and NeutriSci are at arm's length to each other. It is not anticipated that shareholder approval will be required for the proposed transaction.

Pursuant to the letter of intent, Savary has agreed to offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding securities of NeutriSci in exchange for an aggregate of 53,200,000 common shares in the capital of Savary ("Savary Shares") at a deemed price of $0.07 per Savary Share, for a total acquisition price of $3,724,000. Savary has also agreed to acquire all of the NeutriSci shares that are issued pursuant to the private placement of up to 500,000 NeutriSci shares, at a price of $1.00 per share ($500,000), that NeutriSci intends to complete prior to the completion of the acquisition transaction contemplated herein (the "NeutriSci Placement"). Savary shall issue 10 Savary Shares for each share of NeutriSci issued under the NeutriSci Placement. Additionally, under the RTO, holders of convertible securities of NeutriSci will receive equivalent securities in Savary, adjusted as required.

Savary and NeutriSci have also agreed to arrange a brokered private placement (the "Financing") of between 8,000,000 and 15,000,000 Savary Shares at a price of $0.10 per share for total gross proceeds of a minimum of $800,000 and a maximum of $1,500,000, which Financing will close concurrently with the RTO. Savary and NeutriSci are in discussions for the engagement of an agent for the Financing, although no definitive arrangements have yet been made.

Subject to Exchange approval, pursuant to the Finder's Fee Agreement between Breitling Capital and NeutriSci, Breitling Capital will receive Savary Shares equal to 2.5% of the number of Savary Shares issued and outstanding in the capital of Savary upon completion of the RTO.

In connection with the RTO, it is expected that at least the majority of the members of Savary's current board of directors will be replaced with nominees of NeutriSci, although the exact composition of the board has not yet been determined. It is expected that Keith Bushfield, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of NeutriSci, will become the President and Chief Executive Officer of Savary, post-RTO, and that Glen Rehman, William Wagner and Thierry Sorhaitz, currently the COO, VP Business Development and VP Sales and Marketing of NeutriSci, respectively, will be appointed to the same positions with Savary post-RTO.

Upon completion of the RTO and the Financing, it is expected that only the following persons will own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis: Reale International Investment Group Ltd. ("Reale"), Britlor Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Britlor") and Radiance & Allure Fine Furniture Inc. ("Radiance"). Reale and Britlor are private companies incorporated under the laws of Panama. The shares of Reale are wholly owned by a foundation managed by Mr. Roberto Guardia. The shares of Britlor are equally owned by Reale, Turvai Neutraceutical Group, which is a private Panamanian company, and another foundation also managed by Mr. Roberto Guardia. The shares of Radiance are wholly owned by Ms. Carol Bushfield. Ms. Bushfield is the spouse of Keith Bushfield, the President and CEO of NeutriSci.

NeutriSci has agreed to pay for all expenses in connection with the RTO other than the costs and expenses in respect of attorneys, accountants and auditors of Savary, which costs and expenses shall be on Savary's account, provided that NeutriSci has agreed to reimburse Savary up to a maximum of $30,000 for such expenses. NeutriSci has paid Savary an initial deposit of $10,000 as part of the $30,000 reimbursement, to pay for such expenses.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and, if applicable pursuant to Exchange requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Completion of the transaction is also subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, the completion of definitive documentation and the approval of the transaction by the boards of directors of Savary and NeutriSci.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction, any information released or received with respect to the transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

The shares of Savary are currently halted from trading and shall remain so until completion of the RTO, or until satisfactory documentation to allow a resumption of trading is filed with and reviewed by the Exchange.

The Company intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirement. There can be no assurance that the Exchange will grant such exemption.

Symform Challenges Users to Think Beyond Centralized Data Centers With Its 'Byte Me' Promotion

Campaign Features Two Fictional IT Managers on a Great Data Center Search Around the World, Seeking Enough Land, Power and Bandwidth to Build Their Next Data Center

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Nov 1, 2012) - Symform is using humor and prizes to highlight the benefits of its distributed, decentralized and secure cloud storage network with its recently launched 'Byte Me' promotion. The campaign features two fictional IT managers trekking the globe in search of the perfect location to build their next data center. The two characters, Gus and Benny, are shown in the cartoon series visiting the Arctic, farm country, the high desert, and other locations where many cloud providers are building massive data centers today. Users who enter the promotion by downloading the Symform software have a chance to win a network attached storage (NAS) appliance, and one in four entrants receives a 'Byte Me' t-shirt.

"We are not anti-datacenter, but we do want people to think about all the excess capacity that sits wasted in data centers, networks and computing devices around the world that could be utilized, as well as illustrate how we literally cannot build enough data centers to store all the digital data being created," said Margaret Dawson, vice president of product management and marketing at Symform. "We speak seriously about the data center behind every cloud and how it behooves all of us to start thinking about distributed and decentralized approaches to IT and cloud computing, and this is just a way of having some fun with the topic and giving a chance for users to win great prizes."

The topic of data center costs and energy utilization has been a popular topic lately, highlighted in both a comprehensive report released by Greenpeace as well as a recent New York Times article titled, "Power, Pollution and the Internet." The Greenpeace report suggested data centers used for cloud computing account for about 2 percent of the world's carbon footprint, while the NYT article claimed data centers worldwide use about 30 billion watts of electricity, roughly equivalent to the output of 30 nuclear power plants. The article also cites Hank Seader, managing principal for research and education at the Uptime Institute, who says using the cloud "just changes where the applications are running. It all goes to a data center somewhere."

Symform offers the industry's first free and unlimited cloud backup service with their 'Bytes or Bucks' pricing, which enables customers to pay with 'Bytes' by contributing excess local drive space in exchange for secure cloud backup. Alternatively, customers can pay with 'Bucks' at the low cost of $0.15 per GB/month. With its patented technology and quickly-growing user base, Symform is building the world's largest virtual datacenter by leveraging contributed local storage space to power a global crowdsourced cloud storage network.

Today, Symform has customers in more than 150 countries, who are storing more than 5.5 billion data fragments across the cloud network. To join the 'Byte Me' revolution, go to:

About Symform
The Symform Cloud Storage Network is a better way to store and backup all of your data. As the world's first distributed and crowdsourced data backup solution, Symform enables users to pay with bytes instead of bucks. Every business on the network contributes excess local drive space to the grid in exchange for secure, fast and reliable cloud data backup. Before data leaves the source device, it is encrypted and shredded, redundancy added, and then geo-distributed across the global network. With its proprietary and patented technology, Symform is building the world's largest virtual datacenter using existing Internet infrastructure. Go to or email for more information.

Xemplar Calls Requisitioned Special Meeting for February 4, 2013 After Appointing Special Committee

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 19, 2012) - Xemplar Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:XE)(FRANKFURT:E7R)(NAMIBIA:XEM) announces that it has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") after receiving a meeting requisition (the "Requisition") by a shareholder, Fursa Master Global Event Driven Fund LP ("Fursa"). The Company understands that Fursa is beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by William F. Harley, III, one of the current directors of the Company. The Requisition calls for the removal of Gerard A. Pallotta and Ron Mitchell as directors of the Company, two of the four current Xemplar directors, an increase in the number of directors to five, and the appointment of three new directors to be nominated by Fursa. The names of the Fursa nominees have not been provided to the Company.

The Requisition was received by the Company on October 4, 2012, and in response thereto the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") established a special and independent committee (the "Special Committee") to oversee all matters relating to the Requisition. The Special Committee consists of all directors of the Company except Mr. Harley. On the advice of counsel, the Special Committee determined that although the Requisition may not have technically been in compliance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) it was nevertheless prudent to recommend that the Board call the Meeting.

The Meeting is scheduled to take place on February 4, 2013. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting will be December 6, 2012.

The Company considers it unfortunate that it will be required to sustain the expense and disruption involved in holding a special meeting just a few months before its regularly scheduled annual general meeting ("AGM"), which is due to occur before the end of June 2013. This is especially true because the Board took steps to address the situation by proposing to move up its AGM in order to accommodate Fursa, which would have avoided the need to hold an extra meeting. As always, the Board is committed to acting honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders, which means ensuring management remains focused on enhancing shareholder value through the successful completion of the acquisition and further development of the Lobo farm as well as the preservation and enhancements of the Company's other assets.

The Special Committee will retain a proxy solicitation firm to assist with solicitation matters for the Meeting. Further information, as well as the text of the Requisition, will be set out in a management information circular that will be mailed to shareholders and posted to SEDAR and the Company's website in due course.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of

Ron Mitchell, Chairman and Director

Certain statements contained in this press release may include forward-looking information with respect to the Company's operations and future financial results.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 17, 2007 -- The Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco has already been getting industry media and cognoscenti talking. There have been many announcements by companies big and small that are generating interest for the future of Web 2.0. One company in particular, Web2Corp (OTCBB: WBTO) has been getting a lot of positive comments from fellow exhibitors, media, and investors alike as it demos its innovative "Web 2.1" product,

"Each company is a piece of what the web is evolving into, with one company offering a new online media portal and another one building what they hope is the next great e-commerce site. is the complete solution, though, and it offers its users and its advertisers a wealth of resources and information that no other site out there can. A lot of the people who have come by our booth have noted that, and there's a lot of interest and excitement in what means for advertisers and consumers.

"We've received communications from a number of major companies that are impressed with the potential of what we're building. AT&T, Apple, AOL, Verizon, Yahoo!, Cisco, HP, and more companies. They're all getting YouGetIt now, and I really think that there's a level of excitement building about the potential of our new site.

"We're also getting a lot of interest in ByIndia, our Indian-centric search engine. Frankly, we knew that YouGetIt made sense and would get a lot of interest at the expo, but we're pleased to see that many of our visitors are impressed and convinced of the validity of our branded portal model due to ByIndia's remarkable success."

William Mobley will be speaking at the expo on Wednesday at 3:30pm PDT, where he will be discussing unaddressed market needs in the Web 2.0 space.

Understated. Ultra-light.
Flowing curves to cradle the back;
A simple profile belies a subtle elegance.

Fred’s got fleas.

Available in Tasmanian Oak - American Oak or Custom Black on request.

Winner, ACE Emerging Design Award 2015

Designed with the notion of ‘less is more’ and Jasper Morrison’s ‘supernormal’ in mind, the Flea looks at what is redundant in a dining chair and strips it away, leaving the lightest of side chairs to support beautiful spaces and tables, rather than overwhelm or dominate. Focusing on the ergonomics of the chair have eliminated elements of the backrest that are not activated by the back, leaving a supremely comfortable, exquisitely minimal form.

This minimalist approach to design is tempered by a quiet beauty that only reveals itself on closer inspection; Jarrah-wedged tenons are a nod to its big brother Fred (winner, 2014 Vivid emerging designer award). The subtle curves of the backrest only reveal themselves to an inquiring hand, and the light floating of the seat and slight curves of the frame complete a considered and refined chair. The Flea provides a lightness needed as much in small city apartments as in open and airy contemporary family living. As the Flea is stackable it is also ideal for meeting rooms or hospitality applications which call for a refined, softly spoken chair.

We Come to You

We Come to You

My previous posts have been about the experience and what to expect in massage mostly in a setting where clients come to a clinic or a spa. Where massage techniques, types, benefits, strokes, tools and so on stay the same – what is different when massage therapists come to your home or vacation residence?

Massage Professionals of Jackson Hole prides itself in quality home visits. Hence our tag line – We Come To You.   (However, for various reasons we just took on a shared space in  on Veronica Lane in Jackson – see next post). Here’s how it works:

Well, to start with – we come to you! In the days of cell-phone GPS it’s usually easy to get there – but if there are any directions that could help us identify your door and where to park that might helpful. In quite a few areas of Jackson Hole there is no cell service, so we are careful to ask for details. Even if it is a couples massage we will come in one vehicle to save parking space.

We will arrive at least fifteen minutes prior to the appointment time, allowing us time to say hello, change into our indoor footwear, set up our equipment (while you fill out our intake forms) and generally get ready. We bring: Massage Table (duh), bolster, face cradle, sheets, table-warming blanket, over blanket, massage oil or lotion, music and player, intake forms and a fabulous attitude.

We do need adequate space to set up. Often, with couples’ massages, this might put people in two different rooms or areas of the house. A typical massage table is 6’5″ long and between 27 and 33 inches wide. Add another foot in length for the face cradle. Then we need as much space around the table as possible to work – a minimum of three feet on each side and at the foot of the table is ideal – and I like a good four feet absolute minimum at the head. These considerations are important for both the quality of the massage that you will receive, and the health and safety of your massage therapist. We have to concern ourselves with correct ‘body mechanics’, which helps us to avoid injury via proper positioning and angles of our bodies whilst doing this physical work. Clearly, that ability is compromised in a restricted place.

It is also best if the room is warm – even with table warmers, uncovered areas of the body quickly become cold and not responsive to massage – and there are no barking dogs or other distractions (aka noisy kids, football on the TV…).

When all is ready, the therapist(s) will call you into the room, instruct you about how they want you to be on the table (I usually start clients face-down), and then retreat to the closest bathroom to wash hands and give privacy whilst you disrobe and get on the table, under the sheet and blanket. The massage commences, you luxuriate in the excellence of your therapist’s touch for an hour or (preferably) 90 minutes – and you’re done! Easy – that’s all there is to it. The therapists once again retreat to the bathroom to wash hands while you slip into your robes. After that, we pack up, accept your very gracious payment (credit card payment is very easy these days with ‘square’ payments), have a little ‘goodbye’ session – and leave. You get to stay in your robes, hang out at home, glow in the aftermath of your ‘massage coma’ – and contemplate making this into a weekly, or at least monthly, habit. And why not…you deserve it.

Be well,

Hamish and Rochelle/

60 or 90 Minutes?

60 or 90 Minutes?

I feel so strongly about this that I am considering dropping the 60 minute time slot in favor of 90 minute sessions  – especially for deep tissue massage. That is – proper deep tissue massage. Or let’s call it deep tissue therapy or body work.

Yes – massage therapists can all give a nice relaxation Swedish massage in 60 minutes – but it’s almost always a compromised massage if it is to address the whole body including hands, feet, scalp and face. I find myself distracted by looking at the clock and having to leave something out or just briefly touched if I am not careful. And lets face it – if your massage therapist is any good – 60 minutes will always leave you feeling a bit short-changed. People rarely get off a massage table thinking that they’ve had enough or have been there too long. (Let’s not even go to the 50 minute time of spas – which I think is really poor service.)

But with deep tissue – 60 minutes  just isn’t enough to address the whole body adequately. I don’t even try. This is enough time to address either the upper body or the lower body or specifics like shoulder / upper back and neck complaints.

I’m talking about a proper deep tissue massage here, where communication between client and therapist is essential and on-going throughout the session. This is deep tissue where time has to be spent assessing, palpating, warming and softening (melting) the more superficial muscles – necessary to allow access to the deeper muscles. And simultaneously it takes time for the client to relax mentally, to find their breathing rhythms and their trust and comfort in the session that’s about to begin. After all that prep work, which takes time (everybody has different requirements), the therapist has to work slowly and methodically – slowness equals deepness (or at least the effect of deepness) lotion or oil is kept to a minimum and burning of the skin isn’t an option. The therapist is ‘listening’ to the body, feeling what’s going on in the anatomy, looking at the client’s face, watching for trembles, movement, resistance and gauging the effect of the stroke or tool or method being used.  Only when the muscle has ‘released’, or otherwise responded as desired, is it time to move on. We need time to ask questions of the client (How is this feeling?), listen to the answers. There’s experimentation – is this working? If not, how about this? Or after this – I think I should add this?

And then there’s joint mobilization and increasing range of motion (ROM) for many differing conditions and desired outcomes. Massaging muscles doesn’t just stand on its own! I will often perform joint mobilization and stretching techniques to the areas of the body served by those muscles that are receiving a massage. This gives a much more beneficial (and great-feeling) all-around massage.

So the point is -if you’re booking a proper deep tissue massage, or even a relaxation massage with elements of deep tissue – give yourself and your therapist a break and do the 90 minute version – you’ll love it!

Choosing 90 minutes for deep tissue massage is a win-win situation. The client receives a better massage and better results, the therapist gets to give a better massage, is likely to get better reviews and will earn better money.  (The value for the client is usually better too, as the per-minute price of a 90 minute session is usually less than that of the 60 minute session.)

Oh – and by the way – be prepared to book future sessions. The first deep tissue massage is often (usually) a get-to-know-you time. There are many, many benefits to repeat visits to a therapist who, in their first session, has come to know your body, yourself, and has an extended plan of care. Over time a relationship develops and the overall result is…a healthier and happier you.

Be well,

Pre-conceptual Care……It Matters!

blueberries and coconut

One of the many reasons for pre-conception detox is that it could help provide a ‘healthier environment’ in which to fall pregnant but also it may help to reduce morning sickness. Some suggest morning sickness is the body’s way of protecting the growing baby from potentially harmful toxins, particularly in the first trimester when the fetus is most vulnerable. Hormonal imbalance may also exacerbate morning sickness. No one has the definite answer as to why one person has morning sickness and the next person saiis through pregnancy without any issues. However Sarah can work with you before you fall pregnant in order to promote a healthier well-being, which in turn may help the process in falling pregnant. This could also help create a healthier environment in which your baby can grow.
Depending on lifestyle and overall level of health, Sarah generally suggests a 6 to 12 week pre-conception detox period, before attempting natural conception or any form of Assisted Reproduction. What does it mean by detox? It certainly does not mean you need to travel to a retreat or spend hundreds of pounds on many of the “cleansing kits” you may have seen on the market. In fact the more seamlessly you can incorporate cleansing or a healthier way of living into your daily, weekly, or monthly routine, the more likely it becomes a lifelong habit.
Taking steps toward gradually strengthening the organs of digestion and elimination before attempting a pre-conception detox is really important. Sarah believes that getting the digestion right, is important for steps towards good health, under any health circumstances. If we assault the organs of elimination (liver, bowel, kidneys) without strengthening them first, they may not be able to handle the heavy workload and we’ll end up doing more harm than good.
During a Nutritional Therapy consultation, Sarah will take a detailed case history to assess where there are areas of your health that need particular attention. Plus listen to your health aims and incorporate these into your programme. Functional testing may be suggested if it is felt necessary. In most cases Sarah does not need to see you weekly, her aim is to instead to give you the tools to start you on a journey to achieving your goals.
If you would like to know more about how Sarah could support you and/or your partner towards promoting fertility or any other health concerns you may have, please do get in touch.

The Stone Age Diet

Are you looking for a way to:

1. Gain more energy?

2. Control hypoglycaemia? (blood sugar regulation)

3. Lose weight?

4. Combat chronic illness and reduce inflammation?

5. Improve cardiovascular health?

6. Improve gastrointestinal health? (digestion)

You may have heard about The Paleo diet in the press or a friend who is eating this way?
If you have not heard about it yet….. the idea is that our genes and physiology evolved through the process of natural selection and are most adapted to be nourished with the food that we evolved around. Some of the foods that we started eating in large quantity since the beginning of the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago are completely alien to our genes and metabolisms and wreak havoc in our body, often causing what we call the metabolic syndrome or diseases of civilization. That includes obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, auto-immune diseases, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and a host of other conditions that were unknown to our ancestors.

The Paleo diet is not just another ‘diet’ or one that you follow for some time to achieve a specific goal. It is a lifestyle; a change in the way you eat and live.

Perhaps you find changing the way you are eating difficult? It does not have to be. Sarah can coach you and help you understand the benefits of Paleo eating.

Going Paleo does not mean you have to eat this way 100% of the time. Sarah can show you how to incorporate certain ways of eating Paleo into your lifestyle, without going the whole hog!

Milk Thistle – not just for the over-indulgers

So what springs to mind in most people when you mention milk thistle? Most would say it is a good hangover cure. Milk thistle was once cultivated for culinary use, being regarded as a highly versatile vegetable. These days it is primarily known for its restorative properties, particularly in relation to the liver. Two of its active constituents are thought to protect liver cells from toxins. Plus they can promote liver cell generation – which will help the organ make new cells to replace damaged ones.

Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham – Mayfair Architect

Having spent most of my life in Mayfair St James’s, bringing up two husbands three children and writing thirteen bestsellers, I devoted myself to researching the untold history of the area.

Tyne in her Ritz Room
Having uncovered the secret truth behind the origins of my beloved urban village I embarked on writing a character history, an expose of the untold story surrounding five extraordinary women of the 17th Century who transformed the Catholic Killing Fields of London into a luxurious enclave for artisans, artists, authors, eccentrics, authors, composers, Royals, spies, Catholics, dandies, & dandizettes.

Mayfair was built on land owned by a woman; Dame Mary Grosvenor nee Davis, yet nowhere in this area is there any statue to commemorate her essential contribution. Adding to the scandal is the truth that in 1700, soon after her husband Sir Thomas Grosvenor died, she was confined in an asylum for converting to Catholicism.

The mansions, glass-fronted arcades, churches and garden squares of Mayfair and St James’s was designed by the world’s first woman architect, Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham. Again there is no statue to commemorate her extraordinary achievements in defining the London Skyline.

Proprietary forced Lady Wilbraham to credit her work to her pet pupil Christopher Wren in her lifetime, though he had not even commenced his study by the time she had designed the spires and domes of London’s unique skyline.

The cost of building the sybaritic enclave of Mayfair St James’s was met by the eccentric cross-dressing lover of subversive theatre, Queen Catherine of Braganza. Once more it is hard not to note that there is no statue or monument to this extraordinary and much loved English Queen who gave us our national drink and bequeathed us the Port cities of Bombay and Tangiers which enabled The British East India Company to expand the empire. By her death in 1700 London was the wealthiest and largest city in Europe due to her.

The inspiration for London’s uniquely secular area of Mayfair St James’s was ignited by two of the 1660’s blue-stocking courtiers; the salonier – Mad Madge – The Duchess of Newcastle who wrote the first science fiction book The Blazing World. Margaret -Mad Madge – Cavendish blazed across the restoration court actively campaigning for the education of women and anti-vivisection. She was the matriarch of Restoration London having been instrumental in overseeing King Charles II’s and his brother James II’s education before and during their exile in the continent.

The Duchess had impressed upon the young kings in waiting the importance of valuing women for their minds as much as their body. This revolutionary notion clearly took root in the princes for upon his return to England to rule he immediately employed a woman architect and women spies and permitted women to act on stage for the first time in history. Sadly there is no monument to the achievements of this remarkable Restoration Mavin.

Nor is there any monument to Aphra Behn the wit of Restoration England, and first woman in history to make her living solely through her writing.

Aphra Behn was a spy for the Stuart court (Agent160/Astrea) famous across the kingdom for her acts of derringer-do. Aphra’s Behn inspired the ladies of London to dream and expand their horizons beyond the domestic. They did this by hosting salons in the newly built Mansions of Piccadilly and St James’s.

One of Aphra’s more magnificent achievements was leading a slave rebellion in Dutch Guinea. Yet it was as a playwright that she defined the era. Aphra Behn had more plays staged in the West End than her greatest fan, Dryden. It was through her 1667 play The Rover in which she wrote the immortal words “she stoops to conquer” that ordinary Londoners first heard of the extraordinarily luxurious appointments and controversial discourse held in these blue stocking salons being hosted in the hitherto unimagined decadence in the mansions of Mayfair and St James’s. However despite her remarkable achievements, no monument bears witness to the area she inspired. The words inscribed on her tomb in Westminster state ” here lies proof the wit is no defence against mortality!”

I would argue that these five women were immortalised by the part they played in the creation of Mayfair and St James’s.

The landowner; Dame Mary Grosvenor nee Davies, the architect; Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham, the financier; Queen Catherine of Braganza and the two eccentrics; the playwright and spy Aphra Behn and the feminist philosopher and author the Duchess of Newcastle (Mad Madge).

These five exquisites not only breathed life into the notion that women could do anything, but between them they defined the quintessential qualities of the British Character: tea, tradition, wit, tolerance, their love of theatre, literature and eccentric fashion and their passion for horses, spaniels and ducks. Perhaps most definitively they defined what it means to be British in their love of “masques” – masques were a form of ball in that there was dancing and laughter and lashings of champagne but at the heat of the masque was a transgressive form of theatre in which women dressed up as and satirised men and the men laughed. The notion that powerful men would not only tolerate a tease but laugh at it was a concept foreign visitors struggled with! It remains at the heart of British humour and the British character, the ability to laugh at oneself which combined with a jolly good knees up we have five exquisite Maverick Mavins of Fashion to thank!

Calling a spade a spade. Or a mattock.

Trails all gone gloopy? Don’t reach for the bike, grab a shovel and do some trail maintenance instead. Keep your singletrack single.

What to bring

Anyone can do a little maintenance on existing trails, pruning brambles here or stomping out a rut there. If you get really keen here are some tools to get you toiling.

  • Fiskars Xtract Garden Saw, £29.97, Lightweight, folding saw that slices through even really big branches and briars in no time.
  • Pick: Azada. Try this Azada for clearing ground – it’s basically a long, lightweight mattock. £30,
  • Mechanics Gloves: Hardwearing yet nimble gloves that don’t cost a fortune. £8.20,
  • Old riding shoes: Riding shoes have stiff soles, perfect for stomping and compacting dirt.

Here’s why: It’s easier to dig in the winter because the ground’s soft and easy to break and you’d probably spend more time cleaning your bike than riding it.

And you’ll reap the rewards of your labours once spring gets here, because those trails will be running much better. Most importantly though, it’s actually a really creative and involving job — you’ll certainly remember the bits you’ve dug.

Warning: digging is addictive, remember to ride your bike sometimes too.

Tips for trail maintenance

We spoil our bikes. We clean them, polish them, maintain them and lavish them with all kinds of shiny treats. Isn’t it about time we showed our trails some l-u-r-v-e too?

Here are six simple tips to help your trails survive the winter…

1. The right trail on the right day

Mud splash

If it’s been raining for weeks and you know those surfaces don’t stack up well in the wet, then give them a wide berth: head for the local trail centre with its perfect all-weather surface. You’ll have more fun and your local trails won’t suffer.

>>> The best mountain bike mud tyres

2. Keep it clean

Not only is it cool to take all your litter home — and that includes banana skins, orange peel etc, it’s even cooler to take home anything that others have left behind. It’ll make the trail look better, make you feel better, and you might need the karma on that next drop-off.

3. Lighten up

Skids are for kids!

Skids are for kids!

Skids cause ruts — whether they’re caused by wheel spinning or braking. When the surface is soft and traction is hard to find, it’s time to lighten up your riding. Imagine you’re riding on egg shells and you don’t want to break them.

Choose a gear that allows you to apply smooth power and then feel the trail through your pedals. If you’re starting to break traction, ease back a tad until you’re rolling again.

>>> The best mountain bike disc brakes

Apply your brakes gently, with the emphasis on the front, where most of the weight is. But keep your weight over the rear wheel if you think it’ll lock.

4. Tight is right

1. Devol's Staircase

When traction’s limited, it’s easy to drift wide when cornering, and then suddenly the exit’s wider and the bend’s not as tight. Slow down on entry and carve smoothly to keep on the established trail. Then get the power back on early (and gently) to rattle on down to the next turn. Cutting the corner will do the same damage.

5. Maintain and repair

trail building with a mattock

If you notice a really bad section of trail, how about repairing it yourself?

If you can do it alone, great. But even better might be to try and get a bunch of local riders together and arrange a joint social/trail-repair event. New friendships will made, new riding buddies found, and your trail will definitely thank you for the attention.

If you don’t know where to start, there’s stacks of info on the web, or check out a course such as the CTC Repair & Inspection Course.

6. Take the direct line

This may sound odd but if there’s a puddle, a hole or a big boggy patch, try to ride straight through. Divert around it and it’ll just get bigger. And then the next guy along will ride around the new enlarged version and so on, ad infinitum.

Keep your singletrack single.

John Monash Science School visit

Categories: News

To reward some of our high performing VCE students an excursion was organised to spend half a day at John Monash Science School. This took place on Tuesday. It was an opportunity for some of our Year 11 and 12 students to visit a high performing state school, observe a different learning environment in action and engage in discussions with Year 12 students about how they approach their studies, with tips on VCE learning strategies. I attended, along with Andrew Moffat and Matthew Brooks. Unfortunately we were limited in the number of students we could take, however, students shared their experiences and key learnings with their fellow students in Mentor sessions the next day.

I would like to share some of our student’s feedback about their experience:

“Reassuring to find out such a high performing school is the same as us.”

“It was really interesting discovering what drives ambitious students and hopefully we can use this experience to help push ourselves to reach our potential.”

“It was really insightful to see how other people work and how they are achieving their goals.”

“Nice to see how much in common we have with people from such a different school”

“Seeing the difference in attitude towards school and priorities.”

“Really good to see how other VCE students are coping.”

“Recognising that everyone has weaknesses as well as strengths.”

“Learnt some useful study techniques and how to maximise the effective use of my time to learn and revise work.”

Ms. Michelle Roberts
