Dr. Chris has left the building I just wanted to thank all of the loyal and wonderful Chris Hughes fans. I recently filmed my last day on As the World Turns and cant stress enough how much I appreciate all of the support and kind words from the best fans in daytime. Working on As the World Turns was a truly wonderful experience that I will cherish and fondly remember forever. The cast and crew are amazing and I will greatly miss each and everyone of them. From the bottom of my heart, thanks again for the support and for being a fan. Sincerely, Dylan Bruce 15 Responses SoapSnob September 22, 2008 Though I am appreciating Chris Engen's interpretation, Dylan Bruce would be DYNAMITE as a recast of Victor "Adam Wilson" Newman, Jr on "The Young and the Restless." Paul Rauch and Maria Arena Bell should look into scooping him up. Log in to Reply Mark September 22, 2008 I'm not a fan of the character or the actor (he's not bad, just not my favorite), but I am sad to see a Hughes family member go. Log in to Reply AniMate September 22, 2008 Any soap should be scooping him up. He's phenomenal, and it's ATWT's loss. I'm so confused as to why they let the actor who actually had chemistry with Allison leave, though Aaron is pretty easy on the eyes. Normally, I'd feel bad, but there's no question he'll land on his feet big time. Log in to Reply soapjunkie88 September 22, 2008 I agree with SoapSnob. Dylan would be great as a recast of Chris Engen, even through Engen isn't bad in what he is doing. Just Dylan would be better. But I think Y&R needs to recast another role first – Colleen should ring a bell… And for Dylan … sad that he had to go so soon. But with this fight between ABC and CBS … maybe he will get a role there. Log in to Reply Mike Jubinville September 22, 2008 Another soap advocate bites the dust! Log in to Reply season1217 September 22, 2008 What is this the curse of Chris Hughes? How many Chris' have there been again? Log in to Reply Mark September 22, 2008 @ season1217: This is what I found: Adam Hirshan (1987 to 1990) Evan Ross Cannata (1990 to 1991) Christian Siefert (1992 to January 28th, 1998) Ben Jorgenson (1999) Paul Korver (1999 to March 8th, 2001) Alan White (July 3rd, 2002 to September 17th, 2002) Bailey Chase (January 29, 2003 to January 20th, 2005) Dylan Bruce (October 25, 2007 to Present) Log in to Reply jefhamlin September 22, 2008 I really have to wonder what Goutman is thinking sometimes. Just another boneheaded decision by the executive producer who proudly states that he doesn't listen to the fans of his show. Log in to Reply season1217 September 22, 2008 Thanks Mark! It's amazing to see the brevity of each actors time as Chris. Besides Christian Siefert no one has been on longer than 3 years. That's right up there w/ the number of actors who have played Kevin on OLTL. Log in to Reply Sam Ford September 22, 2008 Well, not counting some of the youngest actors to play the part, there were 13 different people who have played the role of Tom Hughes over the years, all the more interesting both because the character has rarely ever been off the canvas and because Scott Holmes has played the role for more than 20 of those years. Log in to Reply syrus September 23, 2008 OLTL should tap him to play a grown up Billy Douglas or a recast Joey Buchanan. Log in to Reply Luke Kerr September 23, 2008 Here are a couple of casting suggestions… Dylan = Michael Corinthos Jr. Dylan = Jamie Martin Dylan = Joey Buchanan Log in to Reply THEBEST September 23, 2008 Luke, he's a little too old to be Michael. LOL I could see him as Jamie! Joey, not so much…I would rather see him as Eric Brady. ***///Living In The World Of Soaps Since 1985\\\*** Log in to Reply nolanspice September 23, 2008 Paging Dr. Michael Horton, stat, to "Days of Our Lives." Log in to Reply THEBEST September 24, 2008 He's the 8th actor to play Chris. Just put the fans out of our misery. Kill off Chris and have Alison get pregnant with his baby. That way, we still keep a Hughes around… ***///The Hunt 4 Dixie Martin Is On!\\\*** Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

I find it really funny blizzard didn't make a pet for the Katrina storm. But yet they made one for that earthquake in Asia.
I find it really funny blizzard didn't make a pet for the Katrina storm. But yet they made one for that earthquake in Asia.
Bit late to debate that now, isn't it? Wasn't Katrina 2005?
"…the whole trouble lies here. In words, words. Each one of us has within him a whole world of things, each man of us his own special world. And how can we ever come to an understanding if I put in the words I utter the sense and value of things as I see them; while you who listen to me must inevitably translate them according to the conception of things each one of you has within himself. We think we understand each other, but we never really do."
XKCD is always relevant. Always.
Wasn't WoW still in Vanilla at the time of Katrina? Long before the first Blizzard Store pet was introduced?
Greg Street doesn't care about black people.
OT: It's different now. They really didn't sell much of anything on the store back then as far as in-game items went.
Wasn't wow just being "born" during that time? :S
In fact a google search says it was between 23-30th of august 2005
(just happens to be the exact time i started playing wow- 27th august 2005 :P )

Moved to GD.
Why isn't there a sandy one? I mean sandy was one hell of a storm and is the second most costly hurricane.
did they even have those toys back that far?
The Blizz store didn't exist then. I'm not even sure WoW was a year old when katrina happened. So what's your point OP? Trying to stir up trouble for nothing?
Is this a silly attempt to say blizzard care more about none American customers than American customers? When in fact it's more likely to be the reverse of that? :S
World of Warcraft Launch: November 23, 2004
Hurricane Katrina Formed: August 23, 2005
Notice how, Blizzard, while still a successful company at the time, were nowhere near where they are today. Also notice that the Pet store or anything like it (Money for in-game items) was nowhere near "out" at the time of the Hurricane.
More importantly, note that Blizzard is a company, not a charity, and while it is very generous of them to do things like this, it is in no way their obligation.

Im still outraged that they didn't make one for the victims of the Union Carbide Bhopal disaster.
The answer is quite obvious, Blizzard are american hating commies, I mean thats the only explanation, right OP?
Infact, Blizzard as a company is simply a front for anti-American pro-Commie activities, their whole scheme is to get your money to fund the Chinese war machine through what they claim is for relief efforts.

I'm sorry if I scared you with the most horrifying headline imaginable. It's okay. The tresses are intact. Everyone -- except Deacon, who could be dying in a ditch somewhere and absolutely wishes he was -- is fine. Rayna (Connie Britton) rather easily came out of the induced coma she'd been in for two weeks. A much less scraggly-haired (in most scenes) Scarlett said no to Gunnar's proposal and seems more confident and less mumbly than ever. And Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) is back in sweetheart/bitch mode, either rapidly cycling between the two or somehow conveying both at the same time. Love her.
But my heart's swelling the most for Rayna James and her daughters -- that scene at the end where her family and we viewers were suspended in time, waiting for her to recognize them, had me sobbing. The reigning queen of country music would have sobbed, too, had she had full movement of her face. A single slow-trickling tear said everything for her. I'm so hungry. How are my sales? Where is that bastard Deacon?
"I am just not interested in looking behind me anymore," Rayna told her hulking dad while getting some fresh air. "I am just gonna live my life." Vague, yet poignant! Not so vague anymore: We learn from Deacon's new attorney Megan that Lamar was likely involved in the death of Rayna's mom. "Forgive me, darlin'. For everything," Lamar had croaked out over Rayna's bedside before she'd woken up. That's not gonna happen.
Maddie (Lennon Stella) had some good scenes tonight, her daddy issues intensifying just like her mom's had right around her age. And like her mom, Maddie's disappointed in her biological father, Deacon. "If he loved her so much, how could he do this?" she asked Teddy. This was when everyone still thought Deacon had been driving drunk when the SUV crashed. Apparently it took weeks for the right people to connect the dots and determine the diagonal mark on Rayna's torso signaled that obviously she was the one driving. But, you know. Television! Who cares? What's important: The truth is out.

Stephen, the Vatican is denying the reports of the Pope's death, and since at this stage they have no reason to conceal it, I tend to believe them. Still, the Pope obviously has very little time left.
On your question regarding the conclave, truly anything is possible, partly because of changes that John Paul himself made to the rules. A two-thirds majority of the eligible cardinals used to be the requirement to elect a new pope. Now the rule is that if after a week the cardinals have not been able to secure a two-thirds majority for any one candidate, then they can change the procedure to allow the election of the pope on the basis of a mere simple majority. And while a hard leftist like Milan's (former) Cardinal Martini would have no hope with the 2/3 rule, it's not impossible that he could get a simple majority.
Despite my own criticisms of John Paul, I do believe he hastened the Soviet Empire's decline and did much good in the world. I am dedicating my next book to him; Fr. Vincent Miceli, an old traditionalist, dedicated his book The Gods of Atheism to Paul VI in spite of his own concerns about that pope. We owe the man the honor that his office demands.1:18 pm on April 1, 2005 Email Thomas E. Woods Jr.

A memorial to the
founders and workers of Perfect Circle, a local automotive company with
a successful 100 year run was erected across the street from the former
world headquarters, now home to AutoCar.
Pioneer Years
In 1894 Charles N. Teetor worked in a small bicycle shop in New Castle where he built a fine bicycle for his wife. When Charles Hartley, Division Superintendent of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and a cousin of Mrs. Teetor, saw the bicycle, he asked Charles Teetor to design a cycle a man could ride on the rails. At that time a railroad inspector could perform his job only by walking the tracks or firing up a locomotive.
Charles Teetor drew the first rough designs for the railway cycle car on the dirt floor of his small shop. He tested his first model on the Pennsylvania Railroad between New Castle and Hagerstown in December 1894, riding the eleven miles in fifty-five minutes.
On February 16, 1895, the Railway Cycle Manufacturing Company was incorporated in Hagerstown, boyhood home of the Teetor brothers. The company was capitalized with cash and work pledges totaling $5,000. They began manufacturing in one end of Stonebraker's warehouse on south Washington Street near the railroad. A few second-hand machines powered by an old steam engine were their only equipment.
Soon the little company was producing one cycle car a day and shipping the vehicles all over the world. Charles Teetor worked four years to develop a single-cylinder gasoline engine to propel the car, an engine that also adapted well to run water pumps and air compressors. With engines replacing bicycle power, the company changed its name to the Light Inspection Car Company in 1900.
With an opportunity to assemble engines for the American Automobile Company in Indianapolis, the company entered the emerging automobile industry in 1905. Soon the Light Inspection Care Company was building its own larger engines. Their fine quality attracted customers, as many carriage makers in Indiana converted to automobile manufacturing. By 1914 the company, which was then named Teetor-Hartley Motor Company, was supplying such pioneer auto companies as Auburn, American, Pilot, Staver-Chicago, Davis, Wescott, McFarlan, Marmon, Stutz, Waukesah, Wisconsin, Continental, Peerless, Willys-Overland, and Franklin.
Company founders were Charles Teetor and his for brothers: John, Henry, Frank and Joe; Charles Hartley and his father, John; and Henry Keagy. John Teetor served as president until 1928 with Charles Teetor superintendent and general manager. Charles Teetor was then president from 1928 to 1937.
While the company manufactured engines, Charles Teetor focused on improving piston rings, a key to engine performance, which were also purchased by other automobile manufacturers. Meanwhile, cost control and mass assembly were spreading rapidly through the auto industry. In 1918 the Teeters sold the handmade engine business and concentrated on producing piston rings. The new product focus required a new company name - The Indiana Piston Ring Company. The company had emerged from the "jack of all trades" era and entered the age of industrial specialization.
By 1921 automobiles had become a popular means of transportation, requiring repair and replacement of parts, a new market for piston rings. The company began selling piston rings to repair shops under the trade name, "Perfect Circle". After the company ran full-page adds in the Saturday Evening Post, the name "Perfect Circle" became so well known and widely respected that it was made the company name in 1926. Growing rapidly, the company merged the General Piston Ring Company in Tipton under the management of Dan Teetor.
Perfect Circle became the undisputed world leader in piston ring technology with practically every innovation in piston ring development originating here. Manufacturing became international and played a vital part in air, land and marine transportation during World War II. In addition to piston rings for cars, trucks, aircraft, locomotive, marine and industrial engines, Perfect Circle manufactured valve seals, cam shafts, seals and gaskets, pistons, cylinder sleeves, turbine wheels and blades and specialized electronic laboratory equipment. Invented by Ralph R. Teetor, Cruise Control, originally known as Speedostat, was introduced in the 1958 Chrysler.
On July 1, 1963, Perfect Circle Corporation, with more than 2,900 employees, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Corporation of Toledo, Ohio. Under Dana's leadership innovative research and expansion of Perfect Circle products continued.
Although Dana maintained the Perfect Circle name and trademark, manufacturing operations were gradually moved from the original Perfect Circle sites in to other facilities around the country. Operations ceased in the former corporate center of Hagerstown exactly one hundred years after it all began.
Perfect Circle attributed its success to its unusually talented and loyal employees. To all those who contributed to this unique example of the American dream for the past one hundred years, this memorial is gratefully dedicated.

Do you worry about food colors on your T'giving plate?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-24-2011 - 2:45pm
I just thought of this as I was posting a carrot recipe in the other thread. My husband teases me because I have to have several different colored foods with each meal. On Thanksgiving we have so many foods that are in the tan / yellow / orange family:
mashed potatoes
pineapple souffle
sweet potatoes
I usually do asparagus because it's DH's favorite veggie. Other than that, it's a pretty monochromatic meal. I wanted to add a carrot souffle dish I just saw, but again, more orange.
|Mon, 08-29-2011 - 8:16pm
I usually don't worry about the color on Thanksgiving. But, our spread includes:
Mashed Potatoes or mashed potato casserole (yum)
Green Beans/green bean casserole
Sweet potatoes
Gravy (sometimes Giblet, but not too many ppl in my immediate family likes it)
Cranberry Sauce
And pies.
|Mon, 08-29-2011 - 5:40pm
I never thought about "colors" myself on Thanksgiving. Last year was mine and my DH's first Thanksgiving as a married couple and I cooked for both of our parents, and my mother in law is a registered dietician and she was worried about me having "too many potatoes" because we had sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes (I consider sweet potatoes a dessert and she considers it s side dish.....whatev. lol). I guess we all have our traditions and ideas of what Thanksgiving should be like, and apparently mine just has way more carbs. :smileyvery-happy:
|Thu, 08-25-2011 - 10:14am
I make a green bean dish that also has sauteed mushrooms, chopped walnuts, dill and some lemon juice. Maybe I'll make that this year too!
|Wed, 08-24-2011 - 4:09pm

|Wed, 08-24-2011 - 2:55pm
Yum! A pineapple souffle sounds good!
But, I agree with you that multi-colors are good for a meal and get a little sad when I look down at the plate and see so much tan, yellow & orange - which seems to be most common for me. Maybe that's why green bean casseroles are so popular for Thanksgiving?

yMusic, Richard Reed Parry and Son Lux at Merkin Hall
For a vegetarian, going to a vegetarian restaurant (or an allergen free restaurant for someone suffering from food allergies, etc.) brings a relief that is rarely experienced by omnivores: it feels safe. Everything on the menu is OK, whatever the name of the entree is, how obscure the list of ingredients looks, or exotic the dressings sounds. On February 8th, I was surprised to experience the same relief sitting in Merkin Hall, waiting for the concert to start. I knew who I was coming to hear, but I had voluntarily limited my research to enjoy the fuzzy knowledge of what was going to happen. Why? Because it felt safe. The chances of coming across a pretentious, untalented act were close to zero. The night would be full of collaborations, and unique.
Indeed, on that night Richard Reed Parry (from Arcade Fire) and Son Lux were collaborating with one of the hottest new music ensembles around: yMusic. The show was broadcast live on Q2 and WNYC's John Schaefer was hosting the evening as part of their New Sounds program. It was so nice to have a friendly voice welcome the artists on stage and ask about the music that was being performed. Richard Reed Parry was the first to talk and introduced the concept behind his cycle of compositions for heart and breath. In a nutshell: ten years ago Parry started reflecting upon the idea of inner/outer tempo and how we impose so much on our bodies when we perform music: why not see it the other way and let our bodies dictate the tempi? As a result, he started writing music based on the performers heartbeat or breath. To synch one's part with one's breath sounds relatively simple (although it's probably not), but listening to one's heartbeat while playing requires a stethoscope, and the performers were wearing them around their necks at all times (Parry apparently purchases them in bulk on eBay…) Parry presented 5 pieces based on the same idea, introduced in order of increasing forces: quartet, quintet, sextet, nonet, … Although different in character and affect the pieces all shared a gentle pusle, pandiatonic harmonies, and an organic randomness. Not all pieces were lead the same way and the interplay between breath and heartbeat made for a nice variety. On many instances, the musical exchange between groups seemed to turn the ensemble into a living organism: the "breath" group bringing necessary musical material (oxygen) to a pulsating "heart" group hooked on their stetoscopes, sending back musical enriched material (blood) to the former. The idea never got gimmicky, each piece following another with a renewed sense of poetry and spontaneity…
There is already a sonic evidence of the collaboration between yMusic and Son Lux, namely the first—and eponymous—track of yMusic's album Beautiful Mechanical. Written by Son Lux (nom de plume of Ryan Lott) this pulsating monster of a piece actually opened the concert with its running lines in the cello and the clarinet balanced by energizing skips in the trumpet. Beautiful Mechanical is a perfect piece to showcase yMusic's tight, exciting and refreshing sound. Son Lux captures here the full potential of such an unusual geometry (flute, clarinet, trumpet, viola, violin and cello). Later, Lott delivered two songs (Flowers, Leave the Riches available here) at the piano, accompanied by yMusic. The contrast between his "wonky voice"(his own words) and his young appearance was a bit surprising but brought lots of character to his songs.
Still Points, a pieced by Son Lux based on Parry's music (featured on this CD I believe) brought the entire lineup together. Son Lux had sampled some orchestral bits from Parry's piece and was playing them on an old-school looking keyboard (please forgive my ignorance), while Parry had left the double bass to play piano. Still Points was, in a way, the epitome of the idea behind Ecstatic Music Festival: three musical personalities (or entities) were introduced and they were now using each other's material to create something really unique. This appropriation of Parry's material lead to a colorful, free-flowing piece, rich in imitation. The evening closed with Presto, a fast and playful piece with lydian accents by Son Lux, whose angular melodic lines revealed yet another aspect of Lott's music.
Great lineup, fruitful collaborations, great radio host, all here thanks to Q2: http://www.wqxr.org/#/articles/q2-music/2012/feb/06/richard-reed-parry-son-lux-and-ymusic-live-merkin-concert-hall/

Sirota-Jensen--yes, you are right, glad you pointed that out. Jensen was a lot of fun to watch, as well as listen to, that night.
Thank you Susan. I am very humbled by your kind words... Parry's work left me with a lasting impression and I'm glad I was able to articulate that feeling in a way you could relate to. Agreed on Sirota. There should be a festival featuring pieces written exclusively for her *making mental note*. This being said, the Sirota-Jensen duo is totally killer in yMusic, as well as in ACME. They work splendidly together... Thanks again Susan!
You've articulated so many terrific insights about why this concert (which I also attended) worked so well, starting with yMusic's incredible strengths as an ensemble. I agree completely, BTW, that "Beautiful Mechanical is a perfect piece to showcase yMusic's tight, exciting and refreshing sound." Parry's heart and breath sequence was, for me, a particular revelation. I did wonder how on earth he would bring this off, but it's just as you describe. Parry had the genius to hear the music, and the intrepid yMusic the genius to make that music sing. (I am a sucker for Sirota's long viola lines, in any event, and they were certainly a grand part of that "necessary musical material" to which you refer.) Of all the great insights you've set down here, this is the one that, to me, is best of all: "Still Points was, in a way, the epitome of the idea behind Ecstatic Music Festival: three musical personalities (or entities) were introduced and they were now using each other's material to create something really unique." You've put the words to what I felt, exactly, as I listened that night, and when I listened again on Q2 (god bless Q2 for giving us the ability to listen to these concerts more than once).

High above Stowe, the mountains aren't just a scenic view, but a key ingredient in one of Vermont's newest breweries. "We're on spring water," beams brewmaster Allen Van Anda. "It's amazing!"
The low-mineral water at the Trapp Family Lodge is the first building block for Trapp Lager, the European-style beer the lodge started producing just this year. "It's a very satisfying beer," says Johannes von Trapp.
The von Trapp family gave popular culture yodeling, lederhosen, and a romanticized story of their flight from the Nazis when "The Sound of Music" debuted in 1965. The real von Trapps still operate the popular Stowe resort, and wanted to provide guests an authentic taste of Austria.
Pouring a dark variety of the new lager, Sam von Trapp says, "We're finding people who don't like dark beer like this."
The team is brewing three varieties of lagers. Lagers are made in colder environments than ales, with different varieties of yeasts. The results tend to be crisp, refreshing, drinkable beers that taste like beer, with few other fruity flavors.
Lagers ferment longer, too. "It takes a long time to make them," Sam von Trapp explains. "So there's a real expense there. But you taste the quality in the beer. And you taste the purity as well."
In just its first few months, Trapp Lager has signed up dozens of wholesale accounts at bars and restaurants statewide. The lodge also serves the brew.
Johannes von Trapp says, "My long-term goal would be to have a beer that's brewed from Vermont-grown barley and hops."
For now, Trapp Lager sees itself as the new kid on the block, looking up to Vermont's many well-regarded microbrews that have made the state an icon to beer-lovers.
"And I hope we continue that," says Allen Van Anda. "I think the more breweries we have and the higher the quality that's coming out of Vermont, the more people will look at Vermont and say, 'They know what they're doing up there!'"
The microbrewery hopes to offer limited runs of bottled lager this summer, but now it's just available on-tap. The list of servers includes:
- The Tavern - Brattleboro
- Nesbitt's Portside Tavern - Vernon
- Frida's Taqueria - Stowe
- The Skinny Pancake - Montpelier and Burlington
- Back To Vermont - Poultney
- Town and Country - Stowe

Data management software helps businesses store and manipulate data. Automating the data management process frees your staff from having to rely on paper files and reports. Through this type of programming software, all of your staff has access to the same data pool on their personal computers and can manipulate the data to help complete job tasks. Data management software improves your business decision-making process by making it easier to present data in meaningful ways, enabling you to make quicker decisions. This efficiency is particularly important when you need to make time-sensitive decisions, such as when unforeseen risk management issues or financial opportunities arise.
According to Bank Systems & Technology, it was proposed that the data management software market would grow by 14 percent before 2011. The data management software industry has grown and continues to grow exponentially. Countless businesses have begun using data management software because of the numerous benefits it offers.
Quick Decision Making
Entrepreneurs know the importance of making informed decisions quickly and effectively, and most business owners rely on company data to make important decisions. When company data is clearly laid out, easy to read, and organized well, business owners do not need to spend a lot of time reviewing it. Data management software allows business owners to pull data from a variety of sources quickly, which helps them to make solid business decisions in a short amount of time.
Risk Management Improvement
Business owners can use data management software to assess financial risks and take measures to reduce or control them. They can do this by cutting costs in specific areas, increasing the amount of revenue allotted to specific departments or by increasing the amount of full-time employees to increase production. Company owners can use this software to implement immediate changes with little effort.
Saving Time
Effective data management tools allow business owners to review and make changes to contract details, financial plans, and product creation plans within minutes. Without this software, these tasks can take a long time to complete. By using a data management software system, business owners can reduce the amount of time they spend on tedious tasks, which allows them to focus more on developing and expanding their businesses.
Creating Reports
Most data management systems have a report generation feature. This will allow you to pull data from a variety of sources and compile it into a report. Once you generate your report, you'll be able to fax it to multiple people within seconds. You can also make multiple copies of the report for your business partners and employees.
The pitfalls of data management software can be immense if it is not used correctly. There are a number of potential downfalls that you should consider before using this type of programming software.
Data management programs are normally created as a custom order, making them work well for your company. However, because the programs are meant to be custom and integrated, they are expensive. Using a cheaper program is possible, but it may not have all the features you wish to use. The use of the management program should outweigh the money you spend on it, or it can be detrimental to your budget.
Most data management software requires passwords or other forms of identification to access the secured materials. However, it is possible for hackers and employees who may obtain the passwords to break into the system. This could lead to a mass disruption if the information is compromised or rearranged. Depending on how integrated the system is with your company, it could lead to a complete shutdown of operations.
Data Loss
Computers and the programs located on them have the ability to be compromised by viruses and malware, as well as being susceptible to old age and glitching. A virus has the ability to destroy important information very quickly if it is not stopped by virus protection programs. This information may or may not be able to be saved. Malware can make it difficult to run your programs, slowing the computer to the point of needing repair. Old age and glitching is also a possible problem. With more information being input over a number of years, your system may begin showing signs of wear. This could cause a system shut down or crash.
Training employees on new data management software can be costly. Training is normally paid by the employer. If you have a number of employees, this cost could add up quickly.
Data management software and programming software can be helpful when you run a business, although the two can be expensive.
Data Management Software
According to ThomasNetNews.com, CommVault created a modern data management package that begins at $25,000. This cost is the basic package. To add on additional features, your business will need to request a quote for each additional item. Things such as security or backup features can cost hundreds more. Other websites offer free data management software applications. Depending on the needs of your company, you may wish to spend $1,000 on inventory software, or download a free barcode scanner online.
Data management software provides your business with significant benefits that improve your data collection and storage process and allow your employees to manipulate and present data in more meaningful ways. This type of software is increasing in popularity with business owners who are looking for ways to streamline the decision-making process. There are pitfalls in moving away from paper data that you should consider before making a decision. Using data management software can create a security risk if data is stored on third-party servers. Data loss is always a possibility with computer systems, and the costs associated with the use of data management software can be ongoing and prohibitive.
Are you looking for an effective means of automating your data management practices? Many discerning companies find the solution they are looking for by utilizing data management software applications.
Data management software is available from reputable software providers nationwide. Such providers can furnish you with applications that can help you to make your data management processes more efficient, which can ultimately save you time and money. Newer software applications dedicated to data management are often cloud-based. Cloud-based software can enable you to reap all the benefits of having a full service suite of data management applications without having to download or maintain any additional software on your own network.
Utilizing software applications for data management can be beneficial to you in a number of key areas. It can offer you the benefits of data centralization along with centralized reporting processes. It can also be useful when it comes to data flow automation including the importing and exporting of data. Software applications can also be used for data analysis and data segmentation as well as data mining and profiling.

Why Is There a Person in Your ATM?
By Eric Reed
On Thursday morning Bank of America announced that it will begin putting live people on the other end of its ATM machines. Called Teller Assist, the project aims to create an all-in-one experience, offering customers the convenience of an ATM with the human interaction of a storefront.
Although users will still be able to select all of the traditional functions of an ATM, they will now also be able to videoconference with a Bank of America employee. The system will offer some of the same services found at the counter, including redeeming checks for cash and choosing various denominations for a withdrawal. Planned, but not yet implemented, features include making loan payments and splitting deposits among multiple accounts.
ATMs will still offer computerized services 24/7, and Teller Assist will operate from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. local time during weekdays and from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. local time on the weekends. According to Bank of America spokesperson Tara Burke, Bank of America will pilot this program with 36 machines in Boston and Atlanta over the second quarter of 2013. Plans for future markets will depend on feedback and are currently evolving."We've seen a growing demand for self-service banking," Burke said, explaining the drive behind this new program. She assures customers that fees will remain the same at all ATM's, including those with Teller Assist, and that the only difference will be the expanded functionality. This technology is part of a greater industry trend toward finding a balance between digital and personal interaction and has been successful for the other banks that have pioneered it, including Coastal Federal Credit Union (CFCU), which debuted its "Personal Teller Machines" in 2008. CFCU is the first institution to got 100% video banking, according to Jim Mecca, a spokesperson for CFCU. The Personal Teller Machines are dedicated systems, Mecca said, which means that they don't double as ATMs. Instead, they fill all the roles of a traditional teller for CFCU, and have allowed the bank to move that function completely online. Branch staff is now dedicated to complex transactions such as lending and account management, while deposits, withdrawals and checking are all handled by video conference with a teller at the credit union's headquarters.

|Microsoft Surface Pro, 10.6", 907gm
Microsoft's Surface Pro is likely to give the tablet category a good boost through the marketing and branding and this version of the Surface will be a true desktop-capable device. At 900gm it's one of the lightest Core-based tablets and the 10.1" screen also makes it highly portable. A digitiser layer, FULLHD resolution and keyboard accessories only make it more interesting. We'd have preferred to see a full size SD card slot although the SDXC slot will be useful in expanding storage space.
|Microsoft Surface Pro 3, 12.0", 800gm
Microsoft have taken the Surface 2, increased the screen size an reduced the weight making it a leading example of tablet engineering. The 12-inch, 800 gram tablet won't be aimed at casual users but with the included digitizer it will appeal to creative types. Pricing matches its pro-level specifications. Starting at $799 it's 'accessible' but if you're looking at 8GB RAM, Core i5 and 128GB of SSD you'll be forced to take the 256GB model at $1299. Great engineering and a perfect device for a lot of creatives but not exactly your mainstream laptop-replacement, especially as similar performance can be had in an Ultrabook for a much lower price.
|Sony Vaio Tap 11, 11.6", 780gm
The Sony Vaio Tap 11 is, at launch, the lightest 4th-Gen Core-based tablet available although models start with a slightly cut-down Pentium version. Great screen, included keyboard, 3G/LTE options and a good entry-level price.

|HP Elitepad 1000 G2, 10.1", 680gm
|Samsung XE700, 11.6", 860gm
The EX700 includes a little bit of everything. Good processing power, a USB2.0 port, digitiser, Wi-Di capability, digitiser (for pen) and capacatice layer (for finger) a docking port and keyboard, fast SSD disk and all in a lightweight shell but it's missing things that laptops offer like full-size SD card slots, a USB 3.0 bus and a VGA port. As a mobile PC or a hot-desking PC, the XE700 looks like it can take on a lot of working scenarios though and with Windows 8 it's going to look even better. An impressive full-range tablet PC.
|Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, 10.1", 599gm
The Lenovo ThinkPad 10 is a 10.1″ tablet, of just 10mm thickness. It is based on Intel's latest Atom Clovertrail platform and sports up to 10 hours of battery life. There is an optional stylus for use with active digitizer for enhanced accuracy while taking handwritten notes.

Built Record-High Enrollments, Robust Financial Health
BOSTON (February 1, 2005) — Daniel S. Cheever Jr., who has served as president of Simmons College in Boston for a decade and led it to record-high enrollments and robust financial health, will resign as president in July 2006. Simmons Board Chair Lucia Luce Quinn said Simmons "has prospered mightily in virtually every respect" under Cheever's leadership, and the board accepted his decision to resign "with sincere regret and deep appreciation."
"We have record enrollment growth, strong and stable financial performance, major new academic facilities, improved morale, and a record-setting capital campaign," she said. "President Cheever's legacy will endure, and so will our gratitude."
Cheever, 62, said he made the decision to resign in the summer of 2006 to assure ample time for the college to hire a new president who would be in place at Simmons well before the launching of its next major capital campaign in 2007. The last campaign, which raised a record $70 million, ended in 2004.
In announcing his decision, Cheever noted that "we're at the strongest point in Simmons's history. I've been at the helm since 1995, and while I cherish this wonderful Simmons community, I think it's important to have fresh leadership to launch a major new capital campaign and guide it through to its successful completion."
Improvements under Cheever since 1995 include steadily rising enrollments culminating in current record-high enrollments and applications, budget surpluses and robust financial health, and near completion of a $250 million building program. That program includes a new college center, six renovated residence halls and campus conference center, multi-million dollar technology investment, a large new classroom building and one on the drawing boards, and current construction of a new state-of-the-art library.
The improvements have been made at a time when Simmons has the lowest average annual tuition increase of any of its 14 major competitors, and faculty salaries have gone from 60th percentile to 85th percentile of comparable peer institutions.
Simmons College is a nationally recognized private university in Boston, with 4,500 students enrolled in the undergraduate college and five graduate schools. Simmons was founded more than a century ago as the first women's college in the country to combine liberal arts education with professional career preparation. Today Simmons has an undergraduate college for women; the nation's only business school designed specifically for women; and nationally recognized co-educational graduate schools of social work, library and information science, health studies, and graduate studies.

Funky wine-tasting bar is both beautiful and green
Sunday, April 12, 2009 - 8:02am
I love furniture that manages to be ultra-stylish and eco-friendly at the same time, so this gorgeous wine-tasting bar created by artist Claire Danthois really caught my eye. Constructed out of recycled oak from old wine barrels, the bar was inspired by a visit to Newton Vineyard in Napa California, where they take pride in the sustainable methods used in crafting their wines.
Danthois is building five of her so called Tasting Installations, so you can get one for your next wine and cheese party.

Banking for the common man
By Liffy Thomas
The branchless banking initiative of countries like Brazil and Philippines inspired these social entrepreneurs to start a financial service outside conventional banks using information and communication technologies. Cashnxt Technologies is the latest entrepreneurial venture of Anish Achuthan (26) and Rameena Rabeedin (28). Both have either worked or founded a couple of start-ups based in Kerala, making their entrepreneurial journey more interesting.
Ridiculed by classmates and finding no support and encouragement from parents, the friends are out to prove that dreams can be fulfilled even in the least conducive of environments.
Learning from failures
The seeds for the venture (Mobeo Technologies) were sown in 2007, where they christened their low-cost banking terminal as 'Personal Banking Machines'. These machines enabled customers access ATM and banking services using their finger print and a mobile pin. But after a year of operation they were forced to close down due to unfavourable market conditions, including RBI regulations, viability of PBM hardware distribution, etc.
"We realised our mistakes and took the failure of Mobeo as a learning experience," says Anish, president and CEO of Cashnxt Technologies, which they re-launched in 2008. "We decided to partner with companies that had already launched similar low-cost banking devices for the rural poor."
Branching out
Their new kiosk is a plug 'n' play branchless banking network that enables customers in semi-urban and rural markets to undertake most financial transactions. It uses a network of low-cost ATMs (manufactured by Vortex Engineering, Chennai), Smart Teller Machines (developed jointly by interns of IIT-Varanasi and SKIT, Jaipur, which enables a customer perform all transactions done in a regular bank by interacting with a real teller from the bank using two-way audio and video), E-POS terminals, and a mobile and branchless banking gateway to offer services like cash withdrawal, depositing cash, printing cheque books, etc.
"Huge operational cost and poor connectivity are main reasons why banks do not set up ATMs in villages. As service providers our network can be used by any bank or MFIs on a pay-per-use basis without any capital investment or additional infrastructure," explains Anish, who also founded companies like Ifuturz Wireless and TNGiCube.
Cashnxt has partnered with four banks in Kannur for their pilot project, which will commence from December, and has deployed 10 such kiosks. They are currently looking for funding and partners to take them places. The company is also moving its base to Gurgaon where it hopes will give them more access to Venture Capitalists and like-minded banks.
Funding dreams
Anish's exposure with various companies, which he was associated since his engineering days, helped him pool the initial resource for Cashnxt. "We started in Kochi with a 15-member team, with investments from a group of friends and alumina of our college," they recall.
Thanks to Venturewoods, where Anish blogs, and LinkedIn he found more like-minded people who were ready to share their expertise with him. Kishore Bobba (former VP of First Bank of Delaware, USA), Pradeep Bhutani (former VP technology of Knowcross Solutions) and Shivani Vig (financial consultant with IBM Global Services) are other core members in his team, which he connected through online platforms.
Their road ahead is challenging, but they agree if they cross these obstacles it will bring smiles to rural bankers.

We all want to be in love, and part of a fulfilling and wonderful
loving relationship. Unfortunately, life
in this world is not always uncomplicated, and it can be impossible to
meet the right partner and bring them into your
life. When things are not going the way you hoped, one
possibility is to turn to romance spells to try and get what you want.
Although some critics may be skeptical about what these kind of spells and
procedures can achieve, there are many other Wiccans who are hopeful
that incredible results can be achieved by those who put
their faith in the wonders of the world around us.
The belief is that it is possible to channel the forces that
surround us in an extremely beneficial way to get what
we really wish from life.
These arts have been practiced throughout the millennia, with originisn going way back to the
years of the historic Saxons and the people of the ancient world.
Yet their practices have never been extinguished. They have been handed down
from father to son, and in our times they are still succeeding for many thousands
of customers all over the world in many different countries.
Love spells can be put to work to help make an object
of desire fall in love with you, to bring back an ex-girlfriend
into your life, or to rekindle the passion in a relationship
that has gone to the dogs. In fact, there are many|no end
of ways in which the powers of the universecan be harnessed to help you get what you need in your life.
All kinds of customers from all over the planet turn to love spells to help them
find romance in their lives. And when you look at the confusing world we live in, it's obvious why.
Life in our universe is never uncomplicated, but in today's world there is little available time to
work on personal relations and finding love.
We can all end up spending nearly all our working hours in the office or commuting, and then spending
our free time doing boring household chores and other home-life
necessities. Cutting the grass or clearing the yard can seem more critical than devoting hours on personal relationship obstacles.
Because of all this, the use of romance spells has become increasingly popular.
This is a fast shortcut that allows you to bring romance and contentment
into your life while still doing what has to be done every week.
The awesome news is that there are hundreds of professional expert witches, wizards and
other practitioners who have been highly trained in this extremely specialist art.
They will be very happy to help you find the passion that you are seeking in your life,
through the use of sophisticated and professional spell casting systems
that are proven to deliver the best results for you.

And let's face, drinking a cup of low-calorie tea can satisfy hunger while piling on few calories.
There are other several exercises like skipping rope, treadmill, cycling, pushups, but jogging
is effective among them. Most importantly, though, you must keep in mind
that since it probably took years to gain that weight and fat, you
can't expect it to come off too fast.

Philosophy of Ministry
ABC exists to encourage, equip, and empower people everywhere to live and counsel the Word, applying the Gospel to the whole experience of life.
- Encourage: ABC provides a fellowship of believers committed to life transformation through the Living Word.
- Equip: ABC promotes training in biblical counseling and points to resources that deal biblically with all of the issues of life.
- Empower: ABC provides excellent materials for growth in Christ and for use in effective biblical counseling.
I. God, who made all things, exists and He alone, as the creator of all things, interprets the meaning of things and events. Being created in the image of God, we know that we are dependent on God for the truth. As sinners we suppress this knowledge and reinterpret the universe on the basis that we give all things and events their meaning. Special revelation, which not only informs us but, is also redemptive, is needed to deal with our hostile suppression of the truth. We will hear this redemptive word, the gospel of Christ, only as the Holy Spirit of God brings us to repentance and faith.[1]
II. The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit or traditions of men. [2]
III. Biblical counselors recognize that the chief understanding of change in those who are professed believers must be grounded in the doctrine of sanctification. If conformity to the image of Jesus Christ is not the central goal of change then change itself must be viewed as merely superficial as it falls desperately short of Biblical transformation. Any system of psychology, "Christian" or otherwise, that fails to acknowledge and operate according to this supposition cannot by nature be categorized as Biblical counseling.
IV. The chief aim of counseling non-believers is that they would be evangelized by the Gospel of Christ so that the fundamental change necessary for their life might occur.
V. Biblical counselors believe that the primary element of transformation is not inherent in man, but is given to him by God in the form of grace. Grace always propels individuals towards holiness, goodness, godliness, and righteousness. Without such grace, authentic soul change within the counseling process is unattainable.
VI. Biblical counselors view human experience as always transpiring within the realm of God's sovereignty. A believer's suffering (physical or emotional) should not be viewed as arbitrary, but purposeful as it provides a context in which the Holy Spirit equips, empowers, and encourages people to live Christ in all things. Counseling that ignores the sovereignty of God in all circumstances is human-centric as it ultimately seeks to make sense of existential reality independent of the greater reality of God's divine purposes.
VII. All people need the counsel of God, which stands in direct contrast to the counsel of our own hearts, counsel of the world, and counsel of others who are conveying the wisdom of man rather than the wisdom of God. God's wisdom is fundamentally different and antithetical to man's wisdom. We receive counsel from God through His Word as the Holy Spirit illuminates and reveals truth. We receive/provide true counsel from/to others only as the counsel is shaped by and accurately reflects the counsel of God. Biblical counselors know that Scripture alone stands sufficient in providing a comprehensive understanding of the psychology of man and they do not mix or "integrate" any other false psychologies with the truth of God's word.
VIII. Biblical counselors view human struggle from a model of depravity rather than a model of deprivation. Theoretical approaches that are built upon a deprivation model assume an individual's emotional/mental condition is the direct consequence of unmet psychological needs, poor socialization, genetic predisposition, or emotional wounds. Such a view inherently classifies the human heart as neutral and/or passive. Biblical counselors, however, stress a model of depravity, and recognize the active, perpetual, and intentional influence of the law of sin on the heart of Man. Depravity is viewed as having an active role in thinking, emotion, perception, and living. This depravity always moves individuals away from God and towards self-indulged, self-seeking, and self-absorbed ways of living. Properly understood, the flesh is the greatest enemy with which an individual must contend within life and the counseling process.
IX. Biblical counselors recognize that individuals who have been reconciled to God by faith are considered perfectly righteous "in Christ" as a result of the finished work of the Cross. Such individuals have been given a new nature that is being divinely transformed by grace and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, a significant aspect of counseling resides in helping believers in the Lord, Jesus Christ recognize their proper identity as saints of the living God. As such, ultimate evidence of human change resides in God's finished work as understood in the Gospel, and does not ultimately rest in modern psychological constructs such as symptom relief, sobriety, marital harmony, etc.
X. Biblical counselors seek to reflect the love, compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience of Jesus Christ. They are called to be quick to listen, to encourage the timid and the weak, and to speak the truth in love. Should confrontation or rebuke be necessary, it should be done in a spirit of humility, remembering that authority to do so is not given based upon status, ability, or credentials, but because God's grace alone has permitted them to speak such truth as His ambassadors and servants of the Kingdom.
XI. Joyful living develops as people learn to live with a reverent fear of God, not by training counselees to place more trust and confidence in themselves. The secular concept of self-esteem stands in direct opposition to the "dying to self" message of the Gospel.
XII. Biblical counselors submit themselves and their counsel under the authority of the Church and it's leadership. They seek to involve pastors/elders in the process of counseling as deemed necessary and appropriate by God's Word. This would include areas such as support, discipleship, and church discipline.
XIII. If thinking, behavior, or emotions are classified as symptoms or "disorders" according to secular models of psychology, but are classified as sin according to Scripture then Biblical counselors are wise to address such thinking, behavior, or emotions according to a Biblical understanding while using Biblical terminology. This should always be done with an appropriate understanding on the part of the counselee as to the nature of sin, and how it contributes to their current issue(s). An emphasis on confession and living repentantly before God is essential. God's grace should also be stressed as to avoid a legalistic or "self-help" mentality that would only serve to exacerbate a counselee's presenting problem(s).
XIV. Biblical counselors seek to radiate the joy of living a Christ-centered life. A dependence on God in prayer is a vital aspect of their lives and ministries. They seek to conduct themselves in a manner that brings glory and honor to God. They earnestly follow the same precepts of Scripture that are evident in their own counsel to others.
Consider the following verses: Hebrews 12:7-11, I Corinthians 10:31, Ephesians 4:22-24, I Peter 4:1-2, James 1: 2-4, Romans 8:28-29, James 4:1-8, 2 Timothy 4:2, Romans 15:14, Galatians 6:1, 1 Timothy 4:16, 2 Timothy 2:24-25, Psalm 139, Titus 2, Romans 8:5-8, I Peter 4:12-19, Jeremiah 17:5-10, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, Acts 17:28, 2 Peter 1:3-4, Romans 5:17, I Corinthians 15:10, 1 Timothy 5:20-21, Luke 17:3, Psalm 32:11, Psalm 35:27, Matthew 5:43, John 13:24, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:22-24, Philippians 1:9, Psalm 111:10, 2 Corinthians 5:20, Proverbs 4:7, Proverbs 8:14, Matthew 18:15-19, Matthew 15:19, Psalm 112:1

For more than eight decades, broadcasters have been the spirit and backbone of America's favorite pastime. Whether it be a whole family gathering around the radio to hear Mel Allen's description of Mickey Mantle homer to today's remote control-wielding fan flipping from ESPN's Jon Miller to Fox's Joe Buck, no other medium has had the power to consistently bring a nation together like baseball's welcome beckoner of a thousand afternoons.
Baseball expert Curt Smith's monumental work, Voices of The Game (Fireside Books/Simon and Schuster Trade Paperback, 1992, 642 pages, $15), has been updated to include major and minor broadcast events from radio's first game in 1921 on KDKA Pittsburgh to today's cable TV universe. It covers the sport's complete broadcast history and details the careers of more than 100 of its greatest characters. Smith brings to life such voices as Allen, Bob Costas, Red Barber, Vin Scully, Dizzy Dean, and Harry Caray.
Moreover, Voices of The Game expertly weaves together the social, political, and cultural climate of the times with baseball history, placing the broadcasters in historical context. For example, Smith shows how Armed Forces Radio linked the World Series to World War II troops oversees; how Dean's rustic humor on the 1955-64 Game of the Week stirred small-town America; and how the 1990s decision to kill Game severely hurt baseball.
With vivid detail, Smith recreates the play-by-play announcing of baseball's most dramatic moments, explores network and franchise politics, reveals stories behind major hirings and firings, and documents how the dramatic shift from emphasizing national network TV exposure to dependence on local and cable broadcasters has shrunk baseball's national presence.
No baseball library should be without the completely updated version of Voices of The Game.
