Having a university nearby is almost always a plus. Based on some googling, I noticed that Tom Oreck has had some involvement with the Tennessee Tech (TTU) MBA program. I don't know if Oreck has used Industrial engineers from TTU to help optimize the plant set up or to optimize processes. Here's a token piece of TTU trivia. TTU used to have a mechanical engineering professor with the last name Bagci. He was apparently an expert in robotics who consulted on the original Star Wars movies. When C3PO says that he speaks the "Bagci" language, it's in honor of Dr. Bagci.
Didn't know that, very interesting. Always enjoy knowing the story within the story. Thanks.
On the Tom Oreck TTU connection, you raise an interesting point. Always beneficial for schools and companies to partner with intern programs and community projects. A huge boost for the area and its people. Carmine D.

As a three time college grad currently working on a masters I would JUMP on a 14.00/hr job with or without benefits. The economy has recovered a heck of a lot more in Cookeville, TN than it has in Fort Wayne, IN. There are a small and dwindling number of factor jobs that pay even 10.00/hr here.
Here in New York, regardless of wage offered, the problem is the gathered and still growing throng. Last interview -- one adminidtrative position with 300 applicants vying for it. Thus, I have to give Dyson a few points for enthusiasm and blind ambition.
You know what they say, "When the going gets rough the tough go shopping." Let's see if it's true. Venson

Did someone say R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y? Let's recap. The stock markets in European countries, including the UK FTSE, are down 20-30 percent this year. Greece is the exception, it's down 45 percent. But its got the population of Los Angeles and the GDP of Ohio. Won't bring down the global economy. May cause the other Euro-countries to bail out of the euro and go back to their own currencies. Didn't we discuss this back in 2000? BTW, the US DOW is down 1000 points so far in the month of May and the month is not over yet.
On a good note, the CEO of Quiznos is opening 600 new restaurants and employng 7500 more people. Already has 4000 restaurants in the US. But, of course, soup and a sandwich for $5 with kids eating free are economic staples. $700 vacuums? Well...suffice to say they are not staples. Carmine D.

The marketing mantra is "less is more." In this particular case, it's: A lot less is a lot more. I'd buy the $120 pano/SEARS cann and/or FB1 and use the rest for eating out for the year at Quiznos. For $10 plus kids eating free, a family [husband and wife and the kiddies] can dine on soup and sandwiches 58 times. That's one day a week for a year with a few special occasions thrown in for good measure.

I couldnt agree more.....nothing about it says more.....period. $700 worth of what is where...no kiss on this one....wonder how many are gonna line up to get the shaft on this one.
Where does this unit kill the pansc/fb1..is it the massive airflow/suction of the 26? a cannister for a small living space ...indeed.....looking forward to seeing it go head to head with the rest. turtle
