New York, NY (PRWEB) May 05, 2012

“Mr. Recipe,” also known as Aaron Isaacson “Spice Guru to the Chefs,” has recently collaborated with Crooked Brook to design and create custom chef jackets for his public appearances.

Isaacson, a 1983 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, has worked at such noted restaurants as the Russian Tea Room, Chef Jean Jacques Rachou’s La Côte Basque and Windows on the World, before he built his spice empire. He will be appearing at the National Restaurant Association Show May 5-8 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.

Mr. Recipe and the design team at Crooked Brook decided upon Chef Jacket style M103H, in white 100% cotton seersucker fabric with a placket covering natural river shell buttons, and 3/4-length sleeves with a 1″ hem instead of traditional chef cuffs. The Mr. Recipe logo embroidered directly onto the left chest.

Mr. Recipe scours the earth’s most exotic locations in search of premium quality, herbs and spices for his clients who include some of the world’s most recognized chefs: Mario Batali, David Bouley, Tom Colicchio, Christian Delouvrier, Thomas Keller, Emeril Lagasse, Charlie Palmer, Nancy Silverton, Michael White and Jean-Georges Vongerichten (to name a few).

Pittman Brush DC Motor

Harleysville, PA (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Pittman® 8540 Series brush-commutated DC motors are designed using the latest advancements in materials and manufacturing technology. This product line is ideal for customer applications requiring high performance in a small package size. The 8540 Series is a significant improvement over similar sized older generation Pittman motors and is perfect for high tech applications found in medical, lab instrumentation, data storage, and precision automation machinery, to name a few.

The most significant feature of the new design is a greatly improved power density through the use of bonded neodymium magnets. The 8540 has approximately twice the continuous torque rating compared with the previous generation of motors. The 8540 motors are 1.18” (30mm) in diameter and are available in three lengths; 2.114” (53.69mm), 2.585” (65.66mm), and 3.057” (77.65mm). Depending on the model, they can achieve a continuous torque rating from 2.5 oz-in (0.018 Nm) to 8.3 oz-in (0.059 Nm) without the use of a heat sink.

The 8540 Series Brush DC motors are available with 8 standard windings ranging from 9.55V to 48V. In order to optimize performance for a specific application need, customized windings can also be designed. The motors have standard pre-loaded ball bearings allowing high speeds, radial and axial shaft loading, and higher temperatures. A new bearing support system, a 7 slot armature, and improved manufacturing techniques allow more balanced armatures resulting in very low vibration and audible noise characteristics. At low speeds, the motors exhibit very low cogging as a result of the optimized magnetic circuit design. Low vibration and low cogging makes the 8540 ideal for position control in servo applications.

Complementary products include gearboxes, encoders, and brakes. The motors have the capability of extensive customization including shaft configurations, leadwire assemblies, optional EMI/RFI filtering components, transmission components (shaft gears, pulleys, or sprockets) and a variety of brush materials (including standard graphite).

About Pittman

Pittman products are designed into a wide variety of high tech motion applications including lab automation, medical devices, communications equipment, semiconductor processing equipment, aerospace systems, and many other applications where precision motion is critical.

Make Free Slots

(PRWEB) January 21, 2009

The always innovative software development team at Online-casinos.com ( http://www.online-casinos.com ), led by webmaster Jan Balslev, has come up with a fun ….and free, new facility for visitors – MakeSlots. Using simple to manipulate Flash no-download technology, Online-casinos.com has provided players, affiliates and webmasters alike with basic, easy-to-work-with tools that create professional-looking, highly customised slot machines.

The completely free service is available on Balslev’s MakeSlots.com website at MakeSlots.com , where visitors will find a straightforward animated guide and all the elements necessary to quickly and easily build their own slot machines, by importing graphics from other locations on the Internet.

“Makeslots.com allows normal websurfers including website owners to make their own custom slot machines,” says Balslev. “They can then either play their unique creation on the MakeSlots site, or they can choose an option which provides the finished product in code form which they can export to their own website for use…all completely free of charge.”

The possibilities using the service are limitless – fancy a political theme with graphics featuring Barak Obama? No problem! If you’re a sports fan, or perhaps an affiliate promoting sportsbooks, here’s an appealing and unusual, unique gaming element you can add to your website to increase interest and appeal. Some may want to build their slot around their own business brand – it’s all possible.

“The permutations and subjects that online casino players, affiliates or webmasters can use are limited only by their own imaginations,” says Balslev. “This was a project on which we had a ton of fun whilst developing the concept, and so can everyone who tries out the fiinished product.

“Whether you use celebrities, sports, gaming elements or personal graphics, you can produce a unique and highly customised instant-play slot that’s entertaining and practical in application.

“And the closer is that users need absolutely no technical skills – we’ve done it all for you and everything you need, even a few suggestions to get you going, is right there in simple animated guide form on the MakeSlots website.”

Balslev developed the MakeSlots idea after monitoring comments by many US online casino players frustrated by the withdrawal of commercial software companies from that market, although the idea has equal application in all international markets and all Internet users are invited to use the facility.

Tampa, Fla. (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa plans to hire over 400 new team members as part of its $ 75 million expansion, which is slated to open in early summer 2012. A job fair will be held at the Florida State Fairgrounds on April 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Job applicants must apply online beforehand.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is one of the largest employers in Tampa Bay and pays more than $ 74 million annually in salaries and wages to local team members. The property currently employs over 3,100 people, and once the expansion is complete, it will have over 3,500 team members. In addition, the property has employed 500 people for construction.

Not only will the project create over 400 new jobs, but it will also make the casino the eighth-largest casino in the world.

The expansion will include an additional 32,000 square feet of gaming space, pushing the existing 190,000 square feet of gaming above 220,000. Once the expansion is completed, the casino floor will be larger than five football fields and will have over 5,000 slot machines, 105 table games and 50 poker tables.

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) September 13, 2010

If you think bad advertising deserves a swift kick in the ads, now’s your chance to take your shot, with the Tracy Awards – the only awards contest of its kind that publicly ridicules bad advertising.

In its second year of judgment, the Tracys invites public submissions that mock, scorn and generally poke fun at the very worst advertising has to offer. All types of ads are fair game – TV, print, web, billboard, business card, whatever. It’s free, anonymous and easy. Simply upload the eyesore onto http://www.thetracyawards.com, tell the Tracys why your nomination deserves the award for bad advertising, and consider your work done.

The Tracy Awards panel will review and judge each ad. Harshly. If it’s bad enough, it will win a Tracy Award, and the people who originally thought the ad was a good idea will get a trophy in the mail commemorating their “crapvertising.”

In 2009, advertisers such as Oreo, Microsoft, Snickers and Coors Light each hoisted a champion’s cup for abysmal advertising. Will the big dogs of ad spending redeem themselves this year? Who knows? It’s up to you to decide. Submit a bad ad and tell why it lowers the bar for the advertising industry.

“I don’t know why I didn’t think of this myself,” said Advertising Age’s general editor, Ken Wheaton, in his 2009 article. How often does he wish he could get back at these bad advertisers with an award for bad advertising? His exact words were, “Every. Day.”

Now it’s your chance. Submissions open September 14, 2010 and run through the end of October, and the Tracy Awards winners will be announced in early December. The results will be nationally publicized as the worst advertising of 2010 and the winning submitters will get some cash for their brutal honesty.

Follow the Tracy Awards on Facebook and Twitter and read up on the latest “Cream of the Crap,” a daily post highlighting some of the most noteworthy Tracy Awards submissions at http://www.thetracyawards.com.

There’s a lot of bad advertising out there. Let’s make fun of it.
