Just a note on Windows 7 Professional,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32bit (Full) System Builder OEM DVD 1 Pack [Old Packaging] (Software)
I purchased this as a possible upgrade to Vista. I installed the program in Virtualbox to try it out. One problem, only problem so far, is that this Win7 program doesn't let me use my Flash drives or back up disk drive. The program is aware of the USB devices but gives me a Code 40. I spent a few hours chasing down leads online without success. Otherwise the program works as expected. My Vista is a 64 bit program and I understand this 32 bit can't be used to upgrade Vista. It must be a clean install.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
J.D. Salinger wanted to be left alone. This is why he moved to the mountains of New Hampshire, built himself a writing bunker, and disappeared from mainstream society. The notion of him being a "recluse" was dismantled every time people in the town of Cornish saw him eating at a restaurant, or going to the post office, or doing the things we private citizens do every day. His desire for solitude was not unusual for a writer; unlike singers or actors, writers do not need a captive audience to create. He wanted his work to speak for itself, without his intervention. It wasn't as if he, like most celebrities, screamed for privacy while appearing in public dressed in an outfit made of live puppies and Brylcreem. He drew no attention to himself in public. It's safe to say Salinger meant it when he said "leave me alone."
And yet he was stalked by his fans, people who thought "The Catcher in the Rye" gave them license to harass and aggravate a man who just wanted to be left alone. Making matters worse, his most famous work was used as justification by more than one person with murder on his mind. One would think that even the hardest-hearted person might feel some guilt over that, and burrow himself deeper into self-appointed celebrity exile. But even if that were not the case, perhaps Salinger was tired of the public's constant need to discuss his only novel, and their clamoring for more of the same. After all, his philosophy was not to publish everything he wrote.
A talking head in the new documentary, "Salinger," implies that J.D. Salinger played the Howard Hughes game because it made him even more famous. It's a very cynical idea, and one of the many things in this film that made my skin crawl. Full disclosure demands that I state I was not a fan of "The Catcher in the Rye" when I read it 30 years ago, so I fail to grasp why so many people wanted to talk to its author or identified with Holden Caulfield. But I do understand and identify with Salinger's refusal to betray his solitary desires. I'm a programmer and a writer; you can't get more hermetic than that. The public thinks it is owed every personal request by those who entertain them, as evidenced by the recent Dave Chappelle flap in Connecticut. I admire Salinger for thumbing his nose at this notion.
This is why I think "Salinger" is the ultimate invasion of its subject's privacy.
The stalkerish vibe starts with its opening sequence of a photographer scoping out a post office in the hopes of getting a picture of J.D. Salinger. It then alternates between being an intolerable document of fawning fandom and a creepy parade of people who were willing to hunt Salinger down in the hopes of getting answers to their psychological issues. Their identification with Holden Caulfield is so deep that they assume his creator is omnipotent. Director Shane Salerno shows his hand early, so you immediately know what to expect during the interminable 129 minute running time. Intercut with the story of the photographer on stakeout is another talking head who proclaims that Salinger's writing was "ordained by God." Is this woman for real?
A story told late in "Salinger" highlights what bothers me so much about this film. One of the interviewed subjects tells a story of his meeting with Salinger. He waited at a crossroads outside of the author's house, and when the author appeared, engaged him in conversation. Salinger first asks "are you getting psychiatric treatment?" then in exasperation says "I'm a fiction writer. I don't have the answers to your problems. Go away!" The guy responds to this by writing Salinger a letter he intends to post on a tree outside the property. The letter explains in detail how "disappointed" the guy is: "I drove all this way and you treated me like this?" Salinger, to his credit, takes the letter.
This movie is like that guy. It's a relentless assault on a man who wished to be left alone.
Now, every documentary is in love with, or has hatred for, its subject. The good ones know how to be objective, or at least fake a sense of objectivity. Even if you love Salinger and accept him as your Personal Savior, you'll be aggravated by how Salerno clubs you over the head with this material. The music in "Salinger" is so bombastic it makes Hans Zimmer's "Inception" chords sound as dainty as "Minuet in G." The score playing over the film's big "revelations" about Salinger's upcoming released work is hilariously loud and self-important, as if these revelations hadn't been leaked on the Internet months ago. There is actual Holocaust and World War II imagery in "Salinger." It is used to give an idea of the atrocities Salinger saw during WWII, but there is so much of it that it becomes exploitative.
"Salinger" does manage to drum up a little interest during the section on Mark Chapman and the others who used "The Catcher in the Rye" as an excuse for murder. Chapman shot John Lennon on December 8, 1980. Three and a half months later, John Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Reagan. And in 1989, Robert John Bardo murdered actress Rebecca Schaeffer on her doorstep. All three cited "The Catcher in the Rye" as some form of personal philosophy. Playwright John Guare states that "if three people used something I wrote in this fashion, I'd be very troubled by it." This is an interesting point, but like the others that dilute the awe with which "Salinger" holds its subject, it is quickly forgotten.
"Salinger" tells us almost nothing we don't already know. What little that is new or revelatory is quickly dispatched in favor of playing up the subject's "mystery," and the responses of fan after fan. I doubt Salinger would have been amused by this, especially considering his own feelings about celebrity and fame, given life by his most famous character. Yet these fans all sit there glassy-eyed, talking about how much "The Catcher in the Rye" meant to them. If only Holden Caulfield could see them. I'm sure you know what he would have called them, and this movie.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Jeff Mills Announces Ambitious New Album
- Words: Brad Stabler
Longstanding and immensely influential Detroit techno producer Jeff Mills announced today that he has collaborated with Japanese astronaut Mamoru Mohri on a double LP inspired by Mohri's first trip to space in 1992 aboard the Endeavour space shuttle. Where Light Ends will be spread across two CDs, with a slew of new original Mills productions joined by remixes from Ken Iishi, DJ QHey, Gonno, and more—although it is unclear what the astronaut Mohri's exact role on the record will be. In addition to the hefty supply of new and reworked tracks, Mills has also commissioned illustrator Kenny Keil and artist Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca to create a film strip as a visual accompaniment to the album. At this point, there is no confirmed release date set for Where Light Ends, nor is there one for Mills' other forthcoming LP, Jungle Planet (which is expected to follow the former closely in seeing a release), but both albums will eventually drop on Mills' own Axis label sometime soon—we hope.

Hello. I am making the one shoulder dress (113) and I understand everything except the part about sewing the shoulder seam and then sewing the seam allowances to the lining. If anyone has made this or understands what they mean, I would love some input!
Jan 25, 2014, 08.31 AMby Deanna31
I think perhaps they mean that on both garments (the outer garment and lining) the shoulder seam needs to be sewn first (the seam that connects the front to the back of the dress along the shoulder).
You then need to go about sewing the lining to the outer garment. This needs to be done around the armhole and around the neck (the seam that goes from one shoulder to the other underarm).
I would suggest the armhole first (can be a bit tight if done last, although manufacturers usually do the neck first then top stitch the lining down to the seam allowance).
Then to do the neck; sew the front up to the shoulder, then the back up to the shoulder (don't try to keep sewing through the armhole to the other side, cause you'll struggle through that tiny opening)

Not Quite as Hot - 08/08/13
Who's ready for relief? Don't get your hopes up for much....read on and see why.
Our Heat Advisory ends at 7 PM and though the advisory had been extended until 7 PM Friday for Fayette County (La Grange area), the National Weather Service has cancelled the extension. That's because temps and heat index values won't be quite as high.
Our streak of 11 days in the triple digits and 12 days without rain could finally end this weekend. I'm forecasting highs Sunday and Monday of 99 degrees. (I know, barely a break). As for rain, the chances are slim for the Austin area but better as you head south and east. A tropical wave near Bermuda now will continue westward and push toward South Texas late in the weekend. We'll have small rain chances starting late Saturday. I'm a little less optimistic with the rain chance now that I was 24 hours ago, I'm afraid. Here's my thinking for our rain chances late Saturday and Sunday:
10% Chance Williamson/Travis/Hays/Milam County
20% Chance Lee & Bastrop County
30% Chance Fayette County
Hill Country Stays Dry
The new Drought Monitor is out and shows very little change for Central Texas. Extreme Drought persists for parts of Bastrop, Lee, Caldwell and Fayette Counties with Severe Drought for most of the rest of the KEYE-TV Viewing area.
NOAA released its mid-season hurricane outlook which calls for a 70% chance of an above-normal season.
13 to 19 Named Storms
6 to 9 Hurricanes
2 to 5 Major Hurricanes
This is slightly lower than the outlook issued in May, which called for 13 to 20 Named Storms, 7 to 11 Hurricanes, and 3 to 6 Major Hurricanes. So far, we've had 4 Named Storms, most recently Dorian. Hurricane Season peaks around September 10th.
Have a good one!

One never knows what is at play

Just go back to basics and what Ron Paul said: We're all individuals. Nobody gets a pass or a free ride because of who their dad is.
And if Rand is so good at fooling the neocons - who knows? Maybe he's really good at fooling you, too.
One of the things that is very important to ask yourself is, "Am I being a useful idiot?" I saw plenty of them in the past 6 years.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

AMERICA/COLOMBIA - "Walking towards justice and peace," Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Bogota (Agenzia Fides) - "Walking towards justice and peace" is the theme of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity being held (from May 19 to 26) in different cities of Colombia.
"This year, the reflection is inspired by the complex reality faced by Dalits. According to the caste system of India, Dalits are socially marginalized, under-represented politically, exploited economically and culturally subjugated, " is what is said in a statement sent to Fides by the Colombian Episcopal Conference. Even in Brazil, the situation of the Dalits is at the center of the reflection of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (see Fides 14/05/2013).
In Colombia, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity coincides with the Ecumenical Forum for Peace 2013.
The Catholic community has organized several events to support these initiatives for peace in the country. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 20/05/2013)

Discussion Forum
This interests me as well. My father also used the phrase on occasion. I also use it infrequently and I was wondering where it originated. My paternal grandmother's family was from Ohio and Indiana, so the Hoosier thing makes sense to me. We live in Texas and I've never heard anyone else use the phrase except my Dad. Maybe someone will have more information for us.
The OED has:
3. trans. and intr. colloq. gen. To pilfer, purloin; to acquire (property) inappropriately.
1793 M. Pilkington Rosina II. xii. 134, I tells him he has robbed the dead, for he has cabbaged it [sc. a garden] out of one corner of the church-yard.
1795 Parl. Reg. XLII. 446 A new office was to be cabbaged out of the Duke of Portland's, and an obvious diminution of his credit and authority was to be proclaimed.
1836 G. Penny Trad. of Perth 86 One of them cabbaged a bottle of wine from the waiters.
1862 H. Marryat One Year in Sweden II. 387 Steelyards..sent by Gustaf Wasa as checks upon country dealers, who cabbaged, giving short weight.
1946 Life 5 Aug. 45/2, I have cabbaged all my copy paper free at the Sun office since 1906.
1956 H. L. Mencken Minority Rep. 141 The quacks got enormous power out of the process, and in all probability cabbaged most of their victims' property.
1995 W. Carroll Two Wheels to Panama 131/1, I helped tie the bike to a stanchion then cabbaged a..doughnut and bottle of warm cola.
#3 is the last definition of the second verb occurence.
Love the show! I always seem to be driving when it's on so can't call in.
Anyway, to the topic.
Couldn't help noticing the similarity to the word "cadge," meaning "to persuade someone to give you (something) for free" (Merriam Webster online dictionary). Sense is more to wheedle than to steal, but I've heard "cadge" used in that latter sense too.
First sense: He cadged a cigarette off me.
Second sense: He cadged a couple of cigars while the boss was out of the office.
Perhaps "cabbage" is a mishearing or corruption of "cadge."

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.

Ed Norton, Robert De Niro Misfire in Pretentious 'Stone'Submitted by BrianTT on October 15, 2010 - 1:01pm
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Ed Norton and Robert De Niro used to be two of the most consistent actors alive, both with streaks of amazing, Oscar-nominated films that guarantee them places in the history books. Sadly, their reunion in the overcooked "Stone" presents merely a shadow of what these talented stars used to deliver.

I took my own advice (and Modcloth's) and used bias binding as an embellishment. I quite like the effect!
After thinking about it for a few minutes I managed to figure out how to attach everything to everything without leaving raw edges. I just LOVE figuring stuff out! The bias strips are still a little stiff from the STARCH which makes the sleeve look a little wonky but other than that I LOVE the way it turned out!
If you want to hear what advice I gave myself and tip on how to deal with slippery fabric bias strips, you can check out my blog

Top Outdoor Decor Gifts for Christmas
Top Outdoor Decor Gifts for Christmas 2014 | Overstock? Top Outdoor Decor Gifts for Christmas 2014 A great outdoor space should be used all year long. Hot or cold, rain or shine, your backyard patio or deck can be an oasis and gathering spot for friends and family. Similar to inside the home, you'll want to take the time to buy outdoor decor that will be cohesive and reflect your own style and personality. Whether you are looking to improve your own outdoor area or you are helping a loved one better enjoy their backyard, Christmas can be the best time of year to buy outdoor decor gifts. Back to Top Get the Basics To get the most out of any outdoor space, you need the basics. Whether you're shopping for your own backyard or for a friend's gift, start with a set of sturdy and comfortable outdoor patio furniture. Chairs to sit on and a table to set down snacks and drinks should be the first priority. Before buying patio furniture as a gift, pay close attention to the size of the space. Small bistro sets with two chairs and a table can fit nicely on a small apartment porch, while a large patio set works great for bigger spaces. Upgrade older chairs and benches by adding new patio cushions or pillows. Shop All Patio Furniture Ready for Any Weather Your patio should be ready for any season, from a brisk fall day to the blazing heat of summer. For cool nights, get an outdoor fireplace or a gas-powered fire bowl. These will help bring the family together and can be a great way to roast marshmallows anytime. If you're trying to beat the heat, stay cool with an outdoor fan or mister. For added protection from the sun, outdoor shades and patio umbrellas will always give you a shady spot to sit and relax. Shop All Umbrellas & Shades Grill Master Whether you are the top chef or have a loved one who enjoys cooking with fire, a new grill or smoker can be a cherished Christmas gift. A true outdoor chef should have all of the tools at their disposal. Choose from charcoal, gas, or even portable electric grills that will give that special someone a whole new way to cook outdoors. Shop All Outdoor Cooking Create Your Outdoor Oasis Once the basics are covered, it's time to make your outdoor space a true oasis. Add comfort and style with outdoor rugs, planters, and fountains. Adding these personal design touches to your deck or patio will make an outdoor space feel like a true extension of your home.

Eredivisie Striker Open to Drogba Advice Over Chelsea Move
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Nick Howson | November 15, 2012 12:22 AM EST
Vitesse Arnhem Wilfried Bony would be open to joining Chelsea in the January transfer window should the opportunity arise.
The Ivory Coast forward is leading the scoring charts in the Eredivisie, having netted 12 goals in as many games for high-flying Arnhem.
And when asked about the possibility of him joining Chelsea, the Champions and League and FA Cup holders, Bony was unanimous in his response.
"It's not the number one topic for me at the moment, but if they write about me going there, then it's great isn't it?" Bony said.
"But seriously, if they want me, it would be a great honour. I would be glad to go to such a club.I love English football and wouldn't be afraid to play there. Chelsea are a top club."
"If Chelsea are interested in the winter and the clubs reach an agreement, then why not? We'll see what happens. At the moment I want to be playing as well as I can for Vitesse.
"I know that Chelsea and Arnhem are close and some of the Chelsea lads are here on loan, including Tomas (Kalas). I have discussed it with him many times already.
Bony is likely to be part of The Elephants' squad for the African Nations Cup in South Africa next year, a tournament that could do wonders for his reputation should he be given the opportunity to partner Didier Drogba in attack.
Both Drogba and Salomon Kalou are not only international teammates of Bony, but also formers employee at Stamford Bridge, and the 23 year old says while he hasn't asked the pair about their time in west London, he wouldn't be adverse to.
"No, we haven't at all," he added. "But if I wanted to know anything I'm sure they would advise me.
"They are normal guys who don't act like superstars. I have been learning from them."
With Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge the club's only first-team strikers, Roberto Di Matteo may be tempted to delve into the transfer window to assist the club's attempts to reclaim the European Cup and challenge for the Premier League title.

Vybz Kartel Prison Break? Jamaican Police Shoot Down Rumor.
Twitter is lighting up about Vybz Kartel after the dance hall D.J. was rumored to have staged a dramatic breakout from a Jamaican prison after holding guards at gunpoint.
The Jamaican Observer, however, claims the story is false, and quotes the assistant commissioner of police as saying, "I know nothing about that. If that had taken place I would certainly have known."
The 35-year-old Kartel was arrested in October at a New Kingston hotel and is being held on charges of murder related to the death of a music promoter.

I want to personally thank the advisor, who was quick to respond to my need for a detailed explanation to a Travel Insurance Company not normally working with BTS regarding an unexpected medical cancellation of our airline tickets. She quickly read the notes and history of the cancellation and then within 25 minutes sent two faxes to the necessary persons handling the Claim!! What a pleasure after so many hours spent accumulating doctor's notes and filling out forms to have someone correctly assess my need and accomplish it in less than a half hour. Hooray for BTS representatives. This agent listened closely, assessed what was needed from BTS's end, and sent out the information. I will always use BTS for my airline needs, as I made the mistake of trying another company and was really sorry afterwards. Following the rules is only one part, but helping a customer in need is the most important part. Thank you BTS!!

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 14 gr. fresh yeast, or 6 gr. dried yeast
- 300 ml warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 230 gr. plain flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 300 ml corn oil, for frying
- 8 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- Dissolve the fresh yeast in half a teacup of the warm water, add the sugar to it, to activate, and let it stand for about 15 minutes in a warm place, until it starts to froth. The liquid must not be too hot as it will kill the yeast cells.
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and empty the dissolved yeast or the dried yeast into it, mixing continuously. This can be done with an electric mixer.
- Start adding the warm water, beating all the time.
- The mixture should be thick but elastic.
- When almost all the water has been added (it may take 2-3 tablespoons less than the 300 ml), beat it for a few minutes until it starts to bubble.
- Cover it with a thick towel and leave in a warm place for about 2 hours, until it rises and almost doubles in size.
- Have a cup of cold water ready into which you can wet a teaspoon and also the fingers of your hand each time.
- Heat the oil until very hot but not smoking.
- Wet the teaspoon so that the dough will not stick on it, take a teaspoon of the dough, and, using your hand, push it down into the hot oil (take care not to burn yourself!).
- Within seconds it puffs up and rises to the surface.
- Repeat this process, wetting the spoon each time, for about 6-7 loukoumades at a time.
- Turn them over so they become golden all around - it only takes 1 minute.
- Take them out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve 4-5 loukoumades on each plate, pour a tablespoon of honey all over them and sprinkle on a lot of cinnamon.
- They should be eaten immediately and also they should not be left waiting once the syrupy honey has been spread on them.
- Loukoumades that are served cold and soggy have no relationship with real loukoumades.

In all the talk about omni-channels, interactive voice response (IVR) is rarely mentioned, yet it is the channel many customers must struggle through. Customer interaction vendor Aspect Software is fully aware of IVR's continued importance, so much so that it announced this week an agreement to buy IVR provider Voxeo Corporation for approximately US$ 150 million.
Voxeo, based in Orlando, Florida, also provides a platform for Communications Enabled Business Processes. Aspect said in a statement the purchase will enhance its ability to support its deployments with "a market-leading IVR and multi-channel self-service capability."
More Flexible Options
Voxeo chief executive officer Bob Ingalls told news media that, while his company has achieved "strong financial growth that has outpaced the broader market," there are more and more opportunities that "require a broader call center solution."
The companies said that Voxeo is the only provider of hosted, private and hybrid offerings for customer service, and that the marriage combines "Aspect's innovative contact center solutions with Voxeo's self-service and multi-channel platforms." Specifically, Aspect is expected to be able to serve SMBs with more flexible options while Voxeo customers can now get a comprehensive customer contact center solution with interaction, workforce optimization and IVR.
The Multi-Channel Necessity
A report conducted by custom research agency TNS for Aspect and released in April confirmed the need to fully support multiple channels. Among other things, the report found that 77 percent of respondents think companies that offer multiple channels for their customer service are "easier to do business with," and 74 percent believe that such companies provide better service. But lack of integration between the channels — as might be provided by, say, a single vendor — leads to frustration among customers who have to repeat themselves.
Aspect introduced its cloud-based Aspect Social in January — a collaboration with Lithium Technologies to provide tools so that contact center agents could utilize social media in their interactions with customers. The collaboration employed Lithium's Social Web product, whose technology Lithium acquired when it purchased Social Dynamx in late 2012.

Anger 'on trial'
Very first one, if this is not liked please bare with me.
Anger always gets a bad rap
but to me and my life,
it is part of that map.
Many obstacles, more disappointments I arrived to
Anger was the emotion,
that helped push me through.
Love, Sadness, and Happiness
they all stand strong,
Anger is always the one to blame
but is not always wrong.
Evil, fury, rage are characteristics
and synonyms of this offense,
your honor, I know Anger....
may I take the stand in his defense.

Demba Ba: Winning cups means more than top-four finish
Related Articles
Published: 19 April 2013
Qualifying for the Champions League would not ease Demba Ba's disappointment after failing to win a trophy in his first season at Chelsea.
Ba joined from Newcastle in January but is cup-tied in the Europa League, so his hopes of a first winners' medal at Stamford Bridge disappeared when Chelsea lost in the semi-finals of the League Cup and FA Cup.
Chelsea are on course to return to the Champions League but when asked whether finishing in the top four would feel like winning a trophy, Ba said: "No. Why would I want to celebrate that? No. I want a medal. I just hope I'm going to win some trophies because we talk about it a lot but in the end it's zero so far. It's not that I want to be in the pictures around the stadium or at the training ground, I just want to feel what it's like to win.
"It's hard [being cup-tied] but I don't regret playing in the early rounds with Newcastle. I am happy I helped them the way I could.
"I want Chelsea to win it because it will give us confidence and have a positive effect on the League.
"It's important to finish in the top four and play Champions League football next season. I have never played it and only watched it on TV. I have always said to myself I'd love to play in it one day."

Damon Harris: Soul singer who joined the ranks of his boyhood idols, The Temptations
"The Temptations had been the most major influence on me. I was very proud to be where I was"
Sunday 24 February 2013
When Damon Harris auditioned for the Temptations in April 1971, the Motown vocal group were in a state of flux.
Eddie Kendricks, the first tenor whose yearning falsetto on "The Way You Do the Things You Do", "Get Ready" and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" had become such a feature of their trademark sound, had left; and his original replacement, Ricky Owens, wasn't working out and would soon return to his Los Angeles group, The Vibrations. Paul Williams, the Temptations' baritone, had finally retired because of ill-health and been replaced by the versatile stand-in Richard Street, joining founder members Mervin Franklin – the bass vocalist – and Otis Williams – "the tenor in the middle" – as well as Dennis Edwards, who had taken over from David Ruffin as the other lead tenor in July 1968.
Harris was only 20, but he had previously led the Young Tempts, a Temptations soundalike outfit, whose 1970 cover of "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" for The Isley Brothers' T-Neck Records had attracted the attention of Motown's legal department and forced a hasty name change to The Young Vandals. "I first met Dennis Edwards in Baltimore through a mutual friend and I sung for him," Harris told Blues & Soul magazine in 1972. "Then later on, I met the entire group in Washington, D.C., and I did an audition for them. Fortunately, I was the one chosen to come into the group," recalled the silky-voiced Harris, who had grown up idolising Kendricks and now found himself stepping into his shoes. Edwards, Franklin and Street had out-voted Otis Williams, who felt that Harris might be too young to handle the assignment.
"Since I was ten years old, The Temptations had been the most major influence on me," said Harris. "I always listened to them and I always said I wanted to be like them in respect of being an entertainer and being able to perform like they always did. I just never ever thought I was going to be where I was, but I was very proud."
Within weeks, he had not only perfected The Temptations' tricky vocal interplay and elaborate stage routines, but was also recording at Motown's legendary studio, Hitsville USA, with Norman Whitfield, the group's demanding producer and songwriter, and the visionary architect of the group's "psychedelic, cinematic soul" sound. "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)", Whitfield's not-so-veiled attack on Ruffin and Kendricks, and the first single Harris contributed to, made the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, but its subject matter should have served as a warning to the new recruit. However, he undeniably brought an injection of youth and enthusiasm to subsequent Temptations hits like 1972's harmony-rich "Take a Look Around" – and helped them win the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with the symphonic "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", their last US Pop No 1, in 1973.
Indeed, his tenure spanned a purple patch of releases which included the bestselling albums Solid Rock and All Directions (both 1972) and four US R&B chart-toppers: the majestic, socially-conscious title track of their Masterpiece album (1973); the funky "Let Your Hair Down" from the 1990 album (1974), their last Whitfield-conceived release; the infectious "Happy People", featuring the Commodores; and the hypnotic "Shakey Ground". The latter two both came from A Song for You (1975), the album produced by Jeffrey Bowen and Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., on which Harris co-wrote "I'm a Batchelor".
Accounts differ as to how Harris fell out with the rest of the group and was replaced by Glenn Leonard in 1975. "We were sorry to have to drop him, but, again, no one man is greater than the group," reflected Otis Williams, who is now the sole original Temptation and the only surviving member of their classic Sixties line-up since Paul Williams, Ruffin, Kendricks and Franklin have all died.
Talking to Blues & Soul in 1976, Harris wasn't as diplomatic. "The whole Motown experience left me pretty disillusioned and I really couldn't accept the way the company functioned in certain respects. I couldn't deal with a lot of things that the Temps as a group were subjected to. My hands were tied and even getting my complete release from Motown proved a problem. But the experience didn't leave me bitter," said Harris, whose contribution was not acknowledged when The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame in 1989.
He was born Otis Robert Harris, Jr., in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1950, but changed his first name to Damon when he joined The Temptations because "the group already had an Otis." As a teenager, he gigged with local group the Tempos, before moving on to the Young Tempts. In 1972, when Smokey Robinson left the Miracles, Harris recommended his childhood friend Billy Griffin, who wound up replacing his childhood hero, like he had the previous year.
Following his stint in The Temptations, Harris teamed up with the erstwhile Young Vandals and renamed the group Impact. In 1976, they signed with WMOT – the acronym stood for We Men of Talent – the Philadelphia production company behind Blue Magic and Major Harris, and released an eponymous album distributed by Atlantic. His wonderful falsetto helped "Happy Man" and "Give a Broken Heart a Break" find favour on the disco scene, but, despite containing his excellent vocal arrangement of the Hall & Oates composition "Sara Smile", their 1977 follow-up, The Pac Is Back, didn't perform well. In 1978, he issued his well-titled solo debut, Silk, which failed to turn him into a soul balladeer to rival Teddy Pendergrass.
He moved to Reno, Nevada, where he resumed his studies and, after graduating, taught troubled youngsters. In the Nineties he returned to performing Temptations hits, but was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He spent the last decade of his life raising awareness of a disease which affects a much higher proportion of African-American than white men.
Otis Robert Harris, Jr., aka Damon Harris, singer and songwriter: born Baltimore, Maryland 17 July 1950; married 1973 Christina Combs (marriage dissolved); died Baltimore 18 February 2013.

Gold Holds near Seven-week Low as Fund Outflows Resume

April 1, 2014 3:03 PM EST
Gold was languishing near a seven-week low on Tuesday, after posting its first monthly drop of the year, as investors pulled money out of bullion backed exchange-traded funds in favour of riskier assets.
An employee shows gold bangles to a customer at a jewellery showroom in Mumbaim in November, 2013 (Reuters).
* Spot gold eased 0.05 percent to $1,282.95 an ounce by 0025 GMT, after dropping nearly 1 percent on Monday. The metal hit a low of $1,282.04 in the previous session - its lowest since February 11.
* Outflows from SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, resumed after a two-day pause. Holdings of the fund fell 3.89 tonnes to 813.08 tonnes on Monday - the biggest outflow in more than a month.
* Gold transferred between accounts held by bullion clearers edged up to an average volume of 17.8 million ounces a day last month, recovering from a 3-1/2 year low hit in January, the London Bullion Market Association said.
* As regulators investigate the transparency of global financial benchmarks, bullion banks are contemplating a move to electronic platforms that would shed more light on the London gold fix, a widely used reference price, sources said.
* India will consider easing curbs on gold imports in consultation with the central bank, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said.
* Asian shares were down slightly in early trade on Tuesday, as investors chose discretion over valour ahead of a key manufacturing survey from China even as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's dovish comments eased concerns of an early start to rate hikes.

As the year comes to an end and the holidays are fast approaching, we're thinking about what's on everyone's mind — presents.
Sure, the greatest thing about the holidays is not what you get or gift, but who's celebrating with you. However, this is the time of year when it's nice to bring a little holiday cheer and remind those near and dear to you that they're important parts of your life.
So what's the best way to do that? Presents, of course! Depending on your budget and your relationship, the perfect gift could be any number of things — it could be something homemade, something artisanal and gourmet, it could be the "it" gadget of the year, or something so over-the-top you'll have trouble outdoing yourself next year.
Whatever your gifting style, there will be something for you in our list of holiday musts from each section — Cook, Eat, Drink, Travel, and Entertain. So stay tuned for the best bottles, the best baskets, and the best travel accessories.
When all is said and done, you'll be merry with the knowledge of the best food and drink gifts to give this season.
First up? Our drool-worthy ornaments guide! Remember: hang them, don't eat them.
