I am sure, this question might have been discussed many number of times. However, every customer has got it's own requirement.
Our 1st concern is: Machine should be Good in Working, Should be Easy to Handle, Operate, Clean and Should give best results.
Our 2nd important concern is: Machine should have longer durability for all parts. There should be a good Technical Support when required, Quick and Reasonably Priced parts. I don't know if i should focus on this or not.
Our 3rd concern is: Machine Accessories.
Budget $10000
We would like to know which machine we should go with:
Selmi One / Color Ex
FBM Compatta
Gami T260
Selmi Plus or Selmi Plus Ex (Only because of enrobber attachment)
Wheel Machines (say Mol D'art or Bacon USA or any other)
I have mentioned Selmi Plus only because of enrobber attachment. Otherwise i believe above mentioned FBM and Gami support enrobber attachments for the above models
I am simply confuse as which machine i should go with. We believe at a cost of $10000 we can only get automatic tempering machine with a capacity of around 10-15kg. Further some machine may not offer enrobber attachment which may be required in the future.
I have mentioned Selmi Plus and Ex above because they offer enrobber attachments from this machine onwards. In case, users recommend this, we can think of increasing the budget or the other way out is to buy small machine initially and then to go with a bigger capacity one once the business is established and good operations are there.
Looking for urgent replies from users.
Company owners / Distributors please don't participate in this forum.

Yes! There has been a lot of talk about this on this forum about the different types of machines out there. If you want an enrober attachment as well for around $10,000 then your only option is one of the entry level wheel machine such as the one by Perfect Equipment and I believe Bakon USA offers one as well. . You can get excellent results with these machines. You just need to understand chocolate. I own a Perfect Compact Coater, one of the cheapest machines on the market. I have written in depth about it on another post. It's under the discussion "What is your Dream Machine?" . A Selmi with enrober probably hovers around $30,000. It is a better machine in my opinion and is signifigantly more expensive. As for my machine, I get excellent support from Perfect in Quebec and have ordered parts when I needed it. I think all the companies you mentioned offer excellent support.
Sorry, the price $10,000 quoted by me does not includes enrober or any other accessories. My aim, either to get a machine at around $10,000 or +/-$3000 and get enrober and other accessories later or to buy a machine currently which does not supports enrober and get a 2nd machine with enrober after a year of business establishment.
Looking for opinions of the best machines and best options.
I would also like to add Bravo Tempering Machine and Pomati T8 / T10 in the above
Waiting for replies from Chocolatiers
Hi ,
im a chocolate maker and we do quite a bit of chocolate, bars and truffles/pralines.
I'm (not hiding, not a sale rep) a big fan of FBM. We have a Unica 25kg we running her flat out since almost a year. very little hiccups, simply fixed with a screw driver by me (you can check previous post on it).
just few days ago we did a temp calibration on the pc board, easy game.
Last, we noticed some issue with the tank temperature: a skype meeting, 2 days later the parts arrived free of charge and by my self i simply replaced it with FBM on skype with me all the time. Sure $10k wont be enough for a Unica.... but maybe a Compatta....
You have faced so many issues in FBM in a year... ?
Also, am i right, that it takes lot of time in the morning to start and lot of time in tempering the chocolate?
Hi Sam,
i disbelieve those are a lot of problems. I run the machine flat out and over the limit of production suggested by the manufacturer.
We have increased output thanks to this machine from 400kg to over a ton.
in effect more than "damages" it all has been "fine tuning" to my specification.
The machine was set up to "european" weather condition, i tuned to our conditions.
I asked to caliber all the thermostats because i'm very pedantic and obsessed with perfection. As well i asked to increase the performance of the tank (melting pot) with elements from a bigger machine so my "downtime" is shorten by 40%.
Most of the people would never try to do that or would never need to do that. We could say i turned a very fast motorbike to a racing motorbike....
In the morning it takes 20 min. to temper just by pressing a button.... you can also set up the machine to be ready even before you arrive to work.... but i like a cup of coffee with my staff when we start the day, so i don't bother with setting timers.
My 2 cents....
This sounds good.. Even i am finalizing FBM..
Waiting for more comments before i finalize..
Sam ~
We have a SELMI PLUS Tempering machine with SHAKER TABLE and ENROBER for Sale. It works perfectly and is in great condition.
~ PB Marshall
[ Moderator note: THIS IS OFF-TOPIC. The OP asked for information about machines, not about who had a machine for sale. This belongs in CLASSIFIEDS. ]
Any reasons for selling..
Sam ~
I'd be happy to discuss this with you. You can reach me at: (805) XXX-XXXX.
[ Moderator edit: PB - PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION. I am curious to know why you don't want to share your reason for wanting to sell it? The OP asked about impressions of various machines, so it would be helpful to share your impressions with the community. Just FYI, TCL is constantly spidered by Google, so phone numbers can end up in search results, so I deleted it. ]
Hi, just out of curiosity,
is the Selmi plus a 12 kg machine? i have worked in the past with the bigger ones, but i was wondering if the small one are as good as the big ones.
Btw, i like to be clear that i'm not a FBM sale rep. I love their machines and i do not dislike Selmi... i just didn't like their customer service...

10 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all interviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Consultant Interview
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Ryan, LLC in June 2013.
I was contacted by phone to setup a phone interview and also to fill out a personality test. The test was fairly standard and consisted of several questions where I had to rank 10 random situations in the order of best to worst. It then took about one week until I was called in to interview with a Director and a Senior Consultant. It took another week or two to be contacted again and called in to meet with another Director and a Principal, where the Director used the results of my personality tests to ask me questions. All of the questions they asked were mostly behavioral and since this was for an entry level position I think they mostly want to see if you align well with their standards.
- I didn't find any questions truly difficult or unexpected, but be prepared to answer questions about the personality test in a positive light. Since no one is perfect I believe they want to see how you respond to picking out your faults. Answer Question

The Hiring and Interview Process is a bit complex and can take several months so please have patience, it's worth the wait.
Personality/Skill Test: Ryan uses a customized test to gauge the likelihood of an applicants success within the Firm. No doubt many companies use similar tests. By "customized" I mean that Ryan has collected thousands of these test from employees over the years. With so many on file, Ryan is able to build a model profile of the ideal Ryan employee. The intent is to maximize return on investment by minimizing turn-over and employing individuals who are likely to produce results.
Interviews: Typically the interview process involves 3 conversations. First, with recruiter assigned to the geographic location for the position you are applying or the practice area. The recruiter will typically be the one who also gives the official offer when the time comes. Second, an interview with the team that you will be working with. Often over lunch. This gives the whole team a chance to get to know you and see how you fit within their group dynamic. Third, an interview with the Principal/Partner that your team reports to.
This may be modified slightly if you are introduced to the Firm as a referral. Please feel free to reach out to Ryan employees. Don't be shy about your interest to work for Ryan. But be patient.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsReasonable. The salary of the first offer was lower than I could accept given student loans and costs of raising a family. I respectfully asked for an additional amount and received it.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- The questions were not that difficult or unexpected, there were two that I had to think about for a moment:
1. What position do you think you deserve to start at? Asked during the initial interview with the recruiter.
2. There's a mall we can eat at or a Cheesecake Factory, what would you prefer? Asked during the Team interview. My first inclination was to say the mall recognizing that they were paying and I didn't want to incur a large bill, but I chose the Cheesecake Factory thinking about the importance of client service and professionalism.

The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Ryan, LLC in May 2009.Interview Details
The process began with a recruiter contacting me to set up a phone interview, which lasted about 30 to 45 minutes. She walked through my resume with me and asked me to explain the types of things I did for each organization I was involved in. After that, she asked standard questions such as "why ryan? how did you hear about us? tell me a little bit about yourself." Once that was over, she contacted me a week and a half later to set up an onsite interview. The day of the onsite interview, I took a test similar to the SAT which measured my verbal, math, and behavioral skills. If you do not pass this test, you will not be able to meet with the principal or the manager. Once you pass the test, you will first meet with the manager and then the principal, both are on a one on one basis. They explained the position more thoroughly and asked standard questions like the recruiter asked related to your resume and also things like "what is your biggest weakness? and what do you think was the biggest thing you walked away with from college?" After meeting with them, you then have to name 5 references who will take a survey about you, your skills, and your work habits. Once you enter them into the system, the company will email them the survey to fill out.Interview Questions

On campus interview very easy going. Several structured questions about past experiences followed by 30 min Q&A.
Week later online personality test and IQ test. Filled out a work experience and typical application forms.
2 weeks later called back for friday interview with multiple interviewers. Asked several questions, Q&A sessions, and then lots of fit questions. Mainly seemed like they knew you were qualified and a lot of experience was if you fit in with the company.
The following monday got link to fill out references. Then background check with HireRight. Ryan was great throughout the entire process. HireRight background service is terrible. It moves extremely slow and their customer support was terrible. The background check took the longest. I worked for a law firm doing these searches while in college and it took me 2 hrs to do something that took them 9 business days. Again the background check was AWFUL but was not run by Ryan it was outsourced.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Ryan, LLC in April 2010.Interview Details
I had heard of the company through their recruting presence at our campus, just about every career fair they had at least one recruiter there. So naturally when it came time to start applying for jobs applied and got an on-campus interview. It was a one on one interview that consisted of a short personality test and a short ampltitude test that were to be completed the day before the interview. The interview itself was extremley short and very mudane. I can't remember the exact questions but they were very elementary, I don't really understand how they can make cuts with those type of questions. Originally, I thought I did not get an offer because it had been about 2 months since anyone at the firm had contacted me, but just last week I got an email saying that would like for me to do a phone interview so that was werid. I feel like they need to shorten this whole process because if it is this bureaucratic for the interview process, there is not telling what life in the actual firm may be like.No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The various pieces from this line have different construction and materials according to their purpose: Saucepans and skillets are stainless steel and have an aluminum core to prevent burning on the edges during simmering, while saut pans have a thick aluminum disk base and thin steel sides to promote even browning. Stock pots are made from cast aluminum to hold in heat during long cooking. The result is cookware that simmers steadily, heats evenly, and browns beautifully. Plus, this cookware is very reasonably priced.

Quality Breads
Delivering the best products since 1880
Thomas'® English Muffins are the original and still the #1 selling English muffin. We're proud of our storied history, but we're constantly improving to give you the best products to brighten your day.
Our Roots
How we started and where we are today
After moving to the United States, from England, Samuel Bath Thomas, an innovator and entrepreneur, created the Original "Nooks & Crannies" English Muffin through a secret process that included griddle baking to create a muffin that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. He later opened his own bakery in New York City in 1880. Soon, Thomas' English Muffins would become a popular part of the American breakfast.
Thanks to Mr. Samuel Thomas, English Muffins are now a favorite product in America. Restaurants, award winning chefs and fast food chains have incorporated our English Muffins into their menus. The Thomas'® brand continues to grow, and provide you with unique products that fit your lifestyle. With you in mind, we created Bagel Thins® Bagels, Flavored Bagels, Swirl Breads and more.
Freshly Baked
We deliver the high quality products to you
Because you expect the best, hot from the oven, Thomas' products are still delivered five days a week to ensure our English Muffins and Bagels arrive quickly.
Recipe For Greatness
Staying true to our methods since day one
- We still use quality ingredients to make all of our products.
- We have stayed true to our methods.
- We listen to our consumers and are actively involved in initiatives to make healthier products.
- We encourage environmental processes, such as water recycling, in all of our plants.
Nooks & Crannies
What makes us different
The distinctive taste, texture and flavor of Thomas' English muffins come from the "Nooks & Crannies" way of griddle baking. This process, unchanged since day one, uses quality ingredients to make the distinctively coarse-grained, yeast-raised dough. They are split, not sliced, to keep the unique, toast-up-perfectly texture.

"You _are_ a poem--and that is to be the best part of a poet-- what makes up the poet's consciousness in his best moods," said Will, showing such originality as we all share with the morning and the spring-time and other endless renewals.
"I am very glad to hear it," said Dorothea, laughing out her words in a bird-like modulation, and looking at Will with playful gratitude in her eyes. "What very kind things you say to me!"
"I wish I could ever do anything that would be what you call kind-- that I could ever be of the slightest service to you I fear I shall never have the opportunity." Will spoke with fervor.
"Oh yes," said Dorothea, cordially. mac frost lipstick "It will come; and I shall remember how well you wish me. I quite hoped that we should be friends when I first saw you--because of your relationship to Mr. Casaubon." There was a certain liquid brightness in her eyes, and Will was conscious that his own were obeying a law of nature and filling too. The allusion to Mr. Casaubon would have spoiled all if anything at that moment could have spoiled the subduing power, the sweet dignity, of her noble unsuspicious inexperience.
"And there is one thing even now that you can do," said Dorothea, rising and walking a little way under the strength of a recurring impulse. "Promise me that you will not again, to any one, speak of that subject-- I mean about Mr. Casaubon's writings--I mean in that kind of way. It was I who led to it. It was my fault. But promise me."
She had returned from her brief pacing and stood opposite Will, looking gravely at him.
"Certainly, I will promise you," said Will, reddening however. If he never said a cutting word about Mr. Casaubon again and left off receiving favors from him, it would clearly be permissible to hate him the more. The poet must know how to hate, says Goethe; and Will was at least ready with that accomplishment. He said that he must go now without waiting for Mr. Casaubon, whom he oakley bottlecap sunglasses would come to take leave of at the last moment. Dorothea gave him her hand, and they exchanged a simple "Good-by."
But going out of the porte cochere he met Mr. Casaubon, and that gentleman, expressing the best wishes for his cousin, politely waived the pleasure of any further leave-taking on the morrow, which would be sufficiently crowded with the preparations for departure.
"I have something to tell you about our cousin Mr. Ladislaw, which I think will heighten your opinion of him," said Dorothea to her husband in the coarse of the evening. She had mentioned immediately on his entering that Will had just gone away, and would come again, but Mr. Casaubon had said, "I met him outside, and we made our final adieux, I believe,&quo
ler looked upon Manuel with commiseration, and handed him a chair to sit down on. The poor oakley half wire sunglasses sale fellow was excited and fatigued, for he had eaten nothing that day, and been treated more like a brute than a human being from the time, he left the ship until he arrived at the jail. He readily accepted the kind offer, and commenced to tell the story of his treatment.
You need' not tell me,--I know too much of that man already. It has long been a mystery to me why he is retained in office.--
Here Dunn interrupted. Sure it's yer master I'd obey and not yerself, an' I'd do what I'd plase with prisoners, and, it's his business and not yeers. If ye had yer way, sure you'd be makin' white men of every nigger that ye turned a key upon.
Give me none of your insolence, said the jailer. You have no authority beyond my door. Your brutal treatment to prisoners has caused me an immense deal of trouble-more than my paltry pay would induce me to stay for. Suppose you were indicted for these outrages? What would be the result? asked the jailer.
Sure it's meself could answer for the sheriff, without yer bothering yerself. I'd not work for yer, but for him; and he's yer master anyhow, and knows all about it. Give me the receipt, and that's all I'd ax yer. When a nigger don't mind me, I just makes him feel the delight of a hickory stick.
Yes, if you had the shame of a man in you, you'd not make oakley frogskins sunglasses sale a beast of yourself with liquor, and treat these poor stewards as if they were dogs, said the jailer.
Indeed, ye might learn a thing or two if ye was a politician like meself, and belonged to the secession party. An' if his honor the sheriff-for he's a dacent man-knew ye'd be preachin' in that shape, ye wouldn't keep the jail f'nent the morning. Be letting me out, and make much of the nigger; ye have him there.
The jailer unlocked the door and allowed him to pass out, with a pertinent rebuke. This was but a trifling affair in Dunn's ear, for he knew his master's feelings too well, and was backed by him in his most intolerable proceedings. Returning oakley scalpel sunglasses to the office, he looked at the commitment, and then again at Manuel. This is a 'contrary to law' case, I see, Mr. Manuel; you are a likely fellow too, to come within that, said he.
Yes. If I understand him right, he's a shipwrecked sailor, belonging to a foreign vessel that was driven in
tinctive, universal distrust of the press. 'I never believe anything I read in the papers.' Of course, that is both false and silly. But the feeling is there; and it has to be reckoned with one day. From this arises an injustice, that the few papers which are really upright, honest, and faithful to their own standards, are tainted in the public mind with the double-dealing of the others. Such as The Patriot.
You use The Patriot for your purposes, Io pointed out.
When it stands for what I believe right. I only wish I could trust it.
Then you _really_ feel that you can't trust Mr. Banneker?
Ah; we're back to that! thought Enderby with uneasiness. Aloud he said: It's a very pretty problem whether a writer who shares the profits of a hypocritical and dishonest policy can maintain his own professional independence and virtue. I gravely doubt it.
I don't, said Io, and there was pride in her avowal.
My dear, said the Judge gravely, what does it all mean? Are you letting yourself become interested in Errol Banneker?
Io raised clear and steady eyes to the concerned regard of her old friend. If I ever marry again, I shall marry him.
You're not going to divorce poor Delavan? asked the other quickly.
No. I shall play the game through, was the quiet reply.
For a space Willis Enderby sat thinking. Does Banneker know your--your intentions?
You mustn't let him, Io.
He won't know the intention. He may know the--the feeling back of it. A slow and glorious flush rose in her face, making her eyes starry. I don't know oakley frogskins sunglasses sale that I can keep it from him, Cousin Billy. I don't even know that I want to. I'm an honest sort of idiot, you know.
God grant that he may prove as honest! he half whispered.
Presently Banneker, bearing a glass of discount oakley pit boss sunglasses champagne and some pate sandwiches for Io, supplanted the lawyer.
Are you the devotee of toil that common report believes, Ban? she asked him lazily. They say that you write editorials with one hand and welcome your guests with the other.
Not quite that, he answered. To-night I'm not thinking of oakley scalpel sunglasses work. I'm not thinking of anything but you. It's very wonderful, your being here.
But I want you to think of work. I want to see you in the very act. Won't you write an editorial for me?
He shook his head. This late? That would be cruelty to my secretary.

Associated Press
FEIRA DE SANTANA, Brazil (AP) -- Boisterous protesters backing the Cuban government blocked the Monday screening of a documentary featuring Cuba's best-known dissident, the blogger Yoani Sanchez, who was in attendance after being allowed to leave the communist island for the first time in nearly a decade.
Small groups of protesters met Sanchez when she arrived earlier Monday at two airports in Brazil's northeast. They called her a "mercenary" who was being financed by the CIA and tossed photocopied U.S. dollar bills her way. One protester got close enough to pull her hair.
Sanchez was also met by supporters and throughout the day in Tweets and a blog posting expressed her joy at being in Brazil, the first stop on her 80-day tour of about a dozen nations.
Yet at the evening screening in a museum, about four dozen protesters surrounded her the moment she walked through the door, shouting "Cuba yes! Yankees no!" and forcing security guards to evacuate her to a nearby room.
"I was expecting it, even before leaving Cuba I knew this could happen," Sanchez told The Associated Press minutes later inside the room where she was taken for protection. "It's sad because I've been waiting one year for this, I really wanted to see (the) film."
About an hour after being taken out of the screening room, Sanchez, accompanied by Brazilian Sen. Eduardo Suplicy, went to speak to the crowd, both protesters and supporters.
"After remaining silent for a long time, after living in a society where not speaking up was the option of the majority of my countrymen, after so much silence, one fine day I couldn't take it anymore and I started a blog," she told those gathered, some who cheered, some who booed.
Sanchez stayed with the crowd for about 45 minutes, then left the venue.
Sanchez's ability to leave her homeland was seen as a test of a new Cuba law, announced in October, which eliminated the exit permit that had been required of islanders for five decades.
Cuban authorities can still deny travel in cases of defense and "national security," among other reasons, and some dissidents continue to face restrictions. Still, the exit permit's demise is seen as one of the most significant reforms of President Raul Castro's ongoing plan to refashion some elements of the economy, government and society.
"The immigration reform doesn't have the depth we would have expected but there has been a change," Sanchez told the AP. "Where we haven't seen changes is on the political side, we need to see freedom of association, freedom of speech. Without these the reforms are incomplete."
She added that the reforms with the biggest impact on Cubans' lives have been "on the economic side. Giving unused land to people for production is important, the freedom to buy and sell cars which seems like a small thing is a tremendous change."
Sanchez's Brazil trip was paid through online donations -- the Brazilian director of a documentary she appeared in launched the fundraising campaign. The city government of Feira de Santana, where the film was supposed to be screened Monday, paid for her accommodation.
Ted Henken, a professor of Latin American studies at New York's Baruch College who studies social media and civil society in Cuba, is closely involved in arranging Sanchez's U.S. meetings and appearances. He said in an emailed response that the U.S. government "has not contributed one penny to her trip." He said the bulk of the money for the U.S. leg of Sanchez's trip is being funded by universities she'll visit.
"She is not being paid for her appearance by any of these institutions partly because -- irony -- the embargo prevents it. A small per diem is all that's allowed apart from covering travel and lodging costs," Henken said.
The protests surrounding Sanchez were explored in a weekend article from Veja, Brazil's most influential magazine. It alleged that Cuban diplomats were working with Brazilian leftists and even a member of President Dilma Rousseff's government to organize protests against Sanchez during her stops in the country, where she is expected to stay for a week.
Cuba's Embassy in Brasilia had no comment on Sanchez's trip. The office of Brazil's president didn't respond to requests for comment.
Sanchez's tour includes several stops in the United States, with appearances at universities in New York and other academic programs, visits to Google and Twitter offices and time with family in Florida.
She'll also travel to the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, with potential trips to Argentina and Chile in the works.

DMort Base Case
After Hurricane Katrina's assault on the gulf Coast in August, the horror of the storm's destruction was televised to the world. Day after day, searing images of the bodies of people who wouldn'tor couldn'tevacuate the area were seen floating in sewage-filled waters.
Now, a little more than three months later, the water has receded and New Orleans is taking its first steps toward recovery. But the suffering continues for the families and friends of the more than 5,800 dead and missing. A total of 1,086 bodies have been recovered in New Orleans, and of those, at least 270 remain unidentified as of Nov. 28. Most of the unidentified bodies are located at the temporary morgue set up after the hurricane in
St. Gabriel, La., about 70 miles west of New Orleans:
The state's medical examiner, Dr. Louis Cataldie, is using a database called the Victim Identification Profile (VIP) to help identify bodies. VIP was built by the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (Dmort), a network of 10 regional teams of 1,200 medical, forensic and mortuary professionals that operate under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). VIP, designed to help medical examiners identify bodies after disasters such as plane crashes and building collapses, was used in New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It is a repository for detailed physical characteristics of the dead and post-mortem medical exam results.
The VIP database, however, was not designed to handle anything on the scale of Katrina, where more than 4,700 people are still reported missing, out of the original total of 10,633.
In many other cases where VIP was used, there were passenger manifests and building-occupancy lists to populate an initial VIP worksheet. From there, other identifiersbody descriptions, personal effects, etc.were entered and then sorted to match names and victims.
But the fallout from Katrina was widespread.
There is no single, complete list of missing people; bodies are being recovered across a wide area; and those remains are being found weeks or even months after death. Analysis of the database records is hampered by limited search capabilities and the inability to easily flag incomplete or inaccurate data, among other problems, according to those working to identify bodies at the morgue.
"We've got people scattered over an area the size of Great Britain," Cataldie says. "There's no manifest. All we've got are 16,000 phone calls of people reporting people missing."
Besides the information-management challenges, other factors contribute to the protracted identification process in Louisiana, according to state officials and others.
Many bodies are severely decomposed, making DNA matching one of the few options available to medical examiners. And there was a delay in matching the DNA of recovered bodies with genetic samples provided by victims' family and friends due to a reported squabble between state and federal authorities over who would foot the bill.
The obstacles in Louisiana underscore the importance for organizationsfrom governments to businesses to nonprofit agenciesto be able to collect, analyze and disseminate up-to-date information in times of crisis.
Cataldie says he and his team are committed to their task, but concedes that "it absolutely takes longer" to identify bodies with the information systems in use at the morgue. In fact, he wanted to identify all of the bodies before the end of September.
Story Guide:
Identifying the Dead: New Orleans Mortuary Response Team
Next page: Database of the Dead.
At the St. Gabriel morgue, a body usually arrives in a body bag. It's assigned a case number by a staff person, who writes the number on a label and affixes it to the bag. Bodies are kept in a refrigerated truck except when the remains are being examined. The case number and the body's location in the morgue are recorded on paper and then entered into the VIP database by a state-hired clerk.
The VIP program, built on a customized FileMaker Pro relational database, mirrors an eight-page paper form filled out by Dmort and other forensic workers during a multi-step post-mortem exam. Those pages include space to record information such as physical characteristicsheight and weight, race and complexion, and the presence of birthmarks and prosthetics. Other items found on the body, including jewelry, clothing and personal effects such as a notebook or wallet, are also input.
In addition, unless a body is severely decomposed, fingerprints are taken. Other steps include full-body and dental X-rays, dental examination, DNA sampling and an autopsy.
With VIP, all of this datasometimes hundreds of pieces of information about one personcan be input into database tables. Then, if a corpse has a rose tattoo on its left forearm, a forensic investigator can search the "tattoo" field in another database that contains information on missing people.
A single tidbit could provide a breakthrough. One Katrina victim was identified based on his discount card from a Piggly Wiggly grocery store; others from jewelry and tattoos.
Because so many people fled the citya reported 400,000collecting information from phone conversations with victims' families, doctors, dentists and other medical professionals has taken on added complexity.
VIP wasn't initially designed as a contact management system to maintain summaries of phone conversations, lists of people and phone numbers, and call-back reminders. As a result, for the first month following Katrina, conversations were not recorded into VIP because there weren't fields for that. If a morgue worker contacted dentists, for example, to obtain dental records to help identify remains, that information was recorded on paper, according to Don Bloom, who developed VIP in 1994 and works on-call as a technical specialist for Dmort.
Without a single log of the numerous phone calls placed early on from the morgue, Cataldie says that Dmort workers, who rotate through the morgue every two weeks, take their knowledge with them. "All the history is gone," he says.
By late September, Bloom programmed a feature into the VIP database that allows Dmort workers to make a notation after requesting dental records or contacting someone who reported a missing person.
But that's not enough for Cataldie, whose staff would benefit from reminders to check in with people who could be related to victims. Cataldie's office may call to clarify personal information or to see whether a missing family member has been found alive.
"I would like to have some database tell me that today is Sept. 29," Cataldie says. "That these people have to be called for their weekly follow-up."
Bloom says that adding an alert system to VIP would be "an easy fix," but that Cataldie and others at the morgue hadn't requested the feature.
Tracking missing people is yet another challenge. After Katrina, state and federal officials set up a family assistance center in Baton Rouge, La. There, family members and others can report a missing person, his or her name and address, what he or she looks like, and clothing worn when last seen. To capture or record that information, family-
assistance center technicians adapted the morgue's VIP database, which has some fields to track missing-person data, for their own use.
While separate, the VIP databases at the morgue and at the Baton Rouge call center can be viewed and searched simultaneously via a T1 connectiona fast link that can transmit 1.5 megabits of information a secondprovided by the state. That morgue worker searching for a tattoo would first try the missing person's VIP file for a match.
VIP was originally designed to match dates and physical characteristics, according to Bob Shank, a deputy commander of Dmort's upper Midwest region who is responsible for Dmort's information systems and mobile morgue unit. But, Shank says, VIP was not intended to be a tool to track reports of missing persons or coordinate lists of displaced people.
To wit, IBM in November was retained at no cost to analyze lists of missing people from nine different federal and charity-owned databases and Web sites to search for duplicate names and other conflicts. For example, if someone listed in the missing-persons' VIP has requested housing assistance from FEMA, an investigator would follow up and close out the case. IBM sends daily reports to the technology staff at the Baton Rouge call center.
Story Guide:
Identifying the Dead: New Orleans Mortuary Response Team
Shawn Romero, a database administrator and analyst from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, knows all too well the limitations of the two databases, especially their insufficient analytics and reporting capabilities.
He devotes several hours a day to extracting records from both VIP databases and uploads them into a Microsoft SQL Server database where he cleanses the records of duplicates, anomalies and misspellings. SAS analytical software corrects data entry errors, such as ZIP codes that staffers accidentally keyed into address fields.
Romero can write queries to find instances of dates that appear more than once in the two VIPs. An analysis of the duplicates could lead to a positive identification based on a birth or wedding date.
But misspellings and multiple spellings of the same name are common in VIP, particularly when more than one person reports that an individual is missing, but the consequences of those typos are significant.
Cataldie uses his own name as an example: "If they were looking for 'Louis Cataldie,' and he were dead in the morgue but they spelled it with a 'y' instead of an 'ie', they wouldn't match me and it wouldn't automatically pull up a list of 'Do you mean this?' or 'Here are some possible matches.'" The VIP database's search is not designed to recognize close but not exact matches, according to Kevin Mallon, a spokesman for FileMaker, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based software developer.
Tom Brondolo, former deputy commissioner at New York City's chief medical examiner's office, says he recognized VIP's limitations shortly after the bodies of victims from the World Trade Center attack arrived at his agency's morgue. There would be 20,000 fragmented remains recovered at the disaster site; VIP had no easy way to electronically link numerous records for body fragments brought to the morgue, Brondolo says.
There were other disadvantages to the database. "VIP's [missing-persons] form was very important," Brondolo says. "But we needed one place to pull all the information together." VIP couldn't be used to track the movement of remains through the morgue, as well as family visits, phone calls, dental and DNA records, death certificates, visitor passes, and other aspects of the identification process.
FEMA counters that VIP has been used successfully for every event in the U.S. with mass fatalities since 1994. "VIP was capable of being used at 9/11 and is continually reviewed," says Debbie Wing, a FEMA spokeswoman. She adds that FEMA was not aware of the Louisiana medical examiner's criticism of the VIP system.
For Cataldie and the hundreds of others working around the clock to identify the dead and return them to their families, the frustration is rising. When asked what his goal is for identifying the remaining bodies at the morgue, the state medical examiner replies, "Yesterday. A month ago. Two months ago.
I want to get that goal done now."

6/08 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
2005: In a 12-3 lambasting of the Brewers at Milwaukee, Alex Rodriguez strokes the 400th HR of his career, off Milwaukee starter Chris Capuano. A-Rod becomes the youngest player to date to reach the plateau, and the 40th overall. The milestone is one of the few bright spots on an otherwise ugly 3-9 road trip.
On other 8ths of June…
2007: A poignant moment occurs before a game with Pittsburgh at the Stadium, as the untimely death of Clete Boyer is honored – the ex-Yank third baseman had succumbed several days before when the team was on the road. The contest that follows pits lefties Tom Gorzelanny and Andy Pettitte against each other, and the Yanks come from behind twice, the first time on a two-run, 6th inning homer by Hideki Matsui . Mariano Rivera replaces Pettitte after eight in a 4-4 tie, and gets the win when Derek Jeter delivers Robbie Cano with a single in the bottom of the 10th.
1999: Having been entrusted with a 5-0 going into the 7th at Veterans Stadium, the Yankee bullpen implodes, as the Phillies come up with 9 runs in the inning, on their way to an eventual 11-5 victory. Jason Grimsley takes the loss for the Bombers.
1992: Yankee pitcher Steve Howe is suspended from baseball indefinitely after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of attempting to buy cocaine. It is Howe's seventh suspension. Howe will eventually perish in a car accident in 2006.
1986: The Yankees are on the losing end of the longest 9-inning game by time in AL history to date. Baltimore's Lee Lacy goes 4-for-6 with 3 home runs and 6 RBI as the Orioles double up the Bombers, 18-9. The game features 9 pitchers' 36 hits' and 16 walks' and takes 4:16 to complete.
1980: In the 'Can't blame them for trying' department, they Yankees use their first-round amateur draft pick to select Stanford quarterback John Elway.
1977: Behind a 9-2 victory by Mike Torrez over the Brewers' the Yankees move into first place.
1969: 60,096 fans are on hand at the Stadium for Mickey Mantle Day. The Mick's no. 7 is retired, and he and Joe DiMaggio exchange plaques to be hung on the wall – DiMag's is a surprise. The team put a fine cap on the day by sweeping a pair from the White Sox, 3-1 and 11-2.
1968: MLB Commissioner William Eckert orders that the Yankees-Angels game scheduled at the Stadium be postponed following the assassination of New York senator Robert Kennedy. The clubs will play a doubleheader tomorrow.

1961: In twinbill action at the Stadium, the A's hit 3 consecutive triples in a 5-run 3rd inning whilst upending the Yankees 9-6 in the nitecap, after dropping the opener 6-1. Moose Skowron homers in the lidlifter, the 17th straight game in which the Yanks have homered' for a total of 32. The Bombers are shut out in the nitecap by KC's Jim Archer.
1960: Bob Turley tosses a 3-hit shutout against the White Sox' and Mickey Mantle adds his 9th and 10th homers of the season. His second homer' in the 8th' is followed by Roger Maris's 16th of the year' matching his season total last year with KC. It is the first time the M & M Boys have hit back-to back homers.
1952: In the first game of a doubleheader at the Stadium' Browns pitcher Tommy Byrne hits a 4t
h inning fly ball behind third that New York's Gil McDougald chases. A fan catches the ball but the umpire rules interference and calls the batter out. Browns manager Rogers Hornsby' coaching third' doesn't disagree. However' Browns owner Bill Veeck' listening on the radio in St. Louis' phones Hornsby and orders him to protest' which Hornsby reluctantly does' but too late anyway. The Yanks win 5-2' then take the nitecap as Vic Raschi shuts out St. Louis. That night' Hornsby calls Veeck and tells him to stop meddling' a call that will cost him his job.
1951: Before 53'940 at Comiskey Park' Vic Raschi and the Yankees edge the Sox' 4-2. Mickey Mantle' leading the Yankees with 33 RBIs' ties the game with a single and throws out Nellie Fox' who tries to score from 3B on Minnie Minoso's fly to right.
1950: The Yankees score 7 runs in the 6th to beat the Tigers 11-4, though Phil Rizzuto's record string of 238 errorless chances ends when he fumbles a grounder in the 5th.
1949: Yankee knuckleballer Tommy Byrne walks 13 Tigers in 11 innings' a franchise record, and the most passes handed out in a Major League game since 1935. Dick Weik will match it in September and' as a Brown' Byrne will actually top it in an extra-inning game in 1951. The second-place Tigers manage just 4 hits' but finally score with 2 out in the 11th to win' 3-2. Virgil Trucks gives up 3 hits in the win. The Yankees pitching staff will surrender 812 bases on balls this year' the second-most of any team in MLB history (the record is held by the 1915 Philadelphia A's, with 827).
Tommy Byrne
1942: Despite 2 homers by Jeff Heath and 5 hits by Ken Keltner' the Indians lose 11-10 to the Yankees in 11 innings. Tom Ferrick's wild throw to third allows Joe DiMaggio to score the winning run. Joe Gordon singles in the 10th to extend his hitting streak to 25 games' and Buddy Hassett's 2 singles extends his string to 20.
1941: Bill Dickey pulls off the only unassisted double play of his career in the first of two with the Browns. The Yankee catcher snares Bob Swift's pop foul along the first base line and tags first to double off the straying runner' Johnny Berardino.
The Yanks sweep the Browns' 9-3 and 8-3. Joe DiMaggio collects 7 RBIs on the afternoon' with 2 homers in the opener and 2 hits in the nitecap. He has now hit in 24 straight. From today's second game to July 26th' Joe will jolt 11 homers without striking out.
1939: Joe DiMaggio leads New York to a 7-2 win over the White Sox by hitting a single' double' and his 2nd homer of the year. Joe is now hitting .464. Lefty Edgar Smith takes the loss for Chicago while rookie Atley Donald wins his 6th without a loss. New York's record against southpaws is 15-4.
1935: In the opener of a doubleheader with Boston' Lou Gehrig is 3-for-3 with 4 RBIs to lead New York to a 13-6 win. The Iron Horse collides with Carl Reynolds on a play at first and leaves the game with arm and shoulder injuries. He does play in game 2' however, a 4-2 Boston win. Lefty Gomez walks 8 and wild pitches home 2 runs to help lose his 7th.
1933: Welcome to the Big Leagues: A's reliever Bobby Coombs gives up a homer to his first ML batter (an understandable rookie mistake, since the batter is Babe Ruth)' but Jimmie Foxx homers in his first 3 at bats' all off Lefty Gomez' as the A's outscore the Yankees 14-10. Foxx had homered his last time up the previous day to give him an MLB record tying 4 consecutive homers. He is the first to achieve the feat in the 20th century – the last man to go long four times in a row was Bobby Lowe, in 1894. Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth homer for New York' with the Babe's landing across the street from the right field fence. Losing pitcher Wilcey Moore gives up 6 runs in the 8th. Art Mahaffey is the winner.
1927: Tony Lazzeri belts three homers in the Yankees' 11-inning' 12-11 win over the White Sox. Tony's first 2 round-trippers come off Red Faber' and his third is a 2-run line drive in the 9th inning off George Connally that ties the game.
The Yanks were behind 11-6 going into the 9th inning. New York win it in the 11th after Cedric Durst triples' Lazzeri is intentionally walked' and Ray Morehart singles over Bill Barrett's head in right field.
1926: In Detroit' Babe Ruth launches a homer run that reportedly carries 626 feet, in an 11-9 Yankee slugfest over the Tigers. The shot' off the Bengals' Lil Stoner' lands at the intersection of Cherry Street and Brooklyn Avenue' two blocks from Navin Field. The youngster who retrieves the ball sells it back to the Babe for $20.
1921:Babe Ruth is arrested for speeding, fined, and held until 4:00 pm. Dressing at the stationhouse in a uniform brought to him, he follows a police escort to the Polo Grounds, enters the game with the Yanks losing toCleveland 3-2, and watches as the home team rally in the bottom of the 9th for a 4-3 win.
1911: The peculiar early baseball practice of the 'courtesy runner' comes into play in a 7-2 loss by the Highlanders to the White Sox at Hilltop Park . When New York pitcher Russ Ford beans Sox shortstop Roy Corhan, Ping Bodie, already in the lineup, runs for Corhan. In the bottom of the frame' Bodie returns to center field. with Jesse Tannehill moving from first to short. Pitcher Doc White ends up playing first base.

Using a series of his awe-inspiring images, photographer and scientist John Day--who has a Ph.D. in cloud physics and is known round the world as "The Cloudman"--introduces us to earth's great skyscape. His spectacular portfolio of pictures captures a variety of cloud forms and shapes, ranging from cottony-soft cumulus clouds to frightening, whirling funnels, as well as a number of optical effects, such as coronas and halos, seen in the heavens above. A magnificent cloud chart; an explanation of clouds formation; hints on forecasting, observing, and photographing clouds; and his "Ten Reasons to Look Up" teach us to use our inner eye to really perceive those familiar fleeting forms. Paperback book measures 8 1/2 in. x 10 1/2 in., 208 pages all in color. Sterling, 2005. ISBN 1402728131

Go behind-the-scenes of a program that was top secret for decades the U.S. Navy's use of dolphins.
It is one of the strangest military programs in history, and one of the most controversial. While it is accepted that the government uses animals like dogs, rumors, innuendo and untruth has surrounded the U.S. Navy's work with dolphins.
Go beneath the waters and beyond the myths in this in-depth look at the U.S. NAVY DOLPHINS. For thirty years the U.S. Navy's Marine Mammals Facilities were classified as top secret, but now the truth about this amazing program can be told. Meet the dedicated marine biologists who train and supervise the playful and intelligent animals. See rare footage of them engaged in mine-sweeping activities in Vietnam, and visits to Hawaii and San Diego show where the program is today.
It's a remarkable look at a daring and unusual undertaking that has pushed the boundaries of inter-species communication and raised troubling moral issues.

8/10 Taen, I personally dont like viewport, depending on your screen size, shrinking your viewing area will make important details harder to see. i would also get tiptac or something of the sort and dock your tooltip in a corner somewhere. The quartz swing timer is just and added distraction, as your swing timer doesnt really matter as a warrior anymore.
I need to work out things i dont like with MSBT, right now its set up to only show incoming damage but the icon is a bit weird for it.

Congress and the Nation has been the definitive resource for researchers studying the actions of the U.S. Congress. This well established series from CQ Press offers comprehensive and signature coverage of Congressional action from 1945 to 2008. Congress and the Nation is the only resource that makes the actions of Congress understandable to any reader.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Chuck and Nancy were two adventurous twin siblings who one day got more than they bargained for. While on an expedition, the twins found two halves of a broken ring. On one half, the word SHAZ was written, on the other, ZAN. When they connected the ring's two parts, Chuck and Nancy suddenly became the proud owners of a 60-foot genie named...Shazzan! Brother, sister, and genie were subsequently transported to ancient Egypt.
Shazzan protected the twins while they searched for the rightful owner of the ring, seemingly the only way they could ever return to their own time. Every adventure featured an evil pursuer, usually a sorcerer, and his plans to steal the ring. Shazzan, with his impressive array of magic, would always manage to foil their feeble attempts. The twins used a cloak of invisibility when they needed to be sneaky, and a flying camel named Kaboobie (whose distinctive laugh would live on in Scooby Doo) when they needed transportation.
This cartoon was (obviously) based on the legendary story of Aladdin, containing all the popular elements of a good genie story: evil men with big swords, magical clothing and, of course, the good old lamp dweller with his very impressive powers.
Perhaps Shazzan's powers were a bit too impressive. The genie was basically invincible, so whenever the twins got in trouble, he would bail them out with ease, leaving the viewer to wonder why he couldn't just transport them home.

Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.
