Well what can I say.....very disappointed but not surprised!!! This was inevitable!!! Shameful display by a superb organisation!
So where do I go from here? My ICE will continue to work right? And current clients will be fine? (for now!)
So I am not the world best programmmer, I am a designer and therefore simplisity is important...and cost!!
So Cushy, Sureall....learn how to do it myself!!! So much to think about!!
Repeating regions was the only reason I chose ICE, as this made it simple for my clients to add new fully styled (by me) sections, news articles, comments etc!!
CUSHY and SURREAL......if you are following these threads....get Repeating regions sorted and YOU WIN!!!
Shame on you Adobe.
201. Re: Pay for InContext ???PageLimeTeam Apr 13, 2010 6:22 AM (in response to Gibry30)
Gibry... have you been paying attention to this thread? PageLime already has repeating regions...and crushes InContext anyway... Cushy and Surreal will never have repeating regions that make any kind of sense because they are form based. So yeah...PageLime should win this round.
202. Re: All Mootweblinkstudio Apr 13, 2010 7:29 AM (in response to Zabeth69)
Wow, what a disappointment!!!! I never was a big fan of the product but it was easy to implement. I finally trained a couple of people to use it and now it is discontinued. My trust in Adobe products is severely damaged.

Hey PageLime guy, be nice to Gibry. This thread was started over a year ago and has over 200 posts; it's hard to remember of all the suggestions, much less research them all.
"Crush"? "Win this round"? Does the PageLime team moonlight as boxers?
204. Re: Pay for InContext ???Capt Obvious Apr 13, 2010 8:12 AM (in response to antlion)
I have to agree that PageLime does win, and does rather trounce the competition. The obvious benefit with Pagelime is that you get to edit the content inline with the rest of the page, so you are actually editing the live page and see it how it will really look. With suureal for example you onlt get to see/edit the area you have made editable in a separate box, so it is the wrong size, you lose the styles and formatting of the page and may have to make several edits to get it to look right.
205. Re: Pay for InContext ???PageLimeTeam Apr 13, 2010 10:32 AM (in response to antlion)Apologies to Gibry. We just get very excited about our product.Moonlight as boxers? Heck yeah! We're the heavyweight champion of the Light CMS circuit! (queue this: http://instantrimshot.com/)

Hey all, Cory here from Surreal CMS. I just wanted to clarify something:

Actually, that's not true at all. Surreal CMS will support repeating regions in the coming months, not to worry. In the meantime, feel free to test out our service. We're pretty confident that your clients will like our interface and some of our new features much better.
207. Re: Pay for InContext ???PageLimeTeam Apr 13, 2010 8:01 PM (in response to surrealcms)
Thanks for correcting us Cory, we apologize for misrepresenting Surreal there.
However...Cushy wont ever have them... since they never update
208. Re: Pay for InContext ???Capt Obvious Apr 14, 2010 5:41 AM (in response to surrealcms)
surreal certainly has some gr8 features too, such as the google analytics, image editing, file manager, color coded CSS editor.
It is a matter of preference and requirements at the end of the day.

Bait and Switch by Adobe
I am right now getting my website up for my company and I happen to come across the FAQ. Surprise!
I convinced my company to get Adobe CS4 for the ability to edit their own pages to save them money.
Not a cool move.
211. Re: Pay for InContext ???Tommy Logic Apr 14, 2010 8:29 AM (in response to lizapulsifer)
I believe their plan is to continue to offer the service to those who sign up for the service before the deadline, and i believe it will remain active for quite sometime.. and free.
Unless thats hidden somewhere in the fine print too...
212. Re: Pay for InContext ???lizapulsifer Apr 14, 2010 8:40 AM (in response to Tommy Logic)
Hello. According to their FAQ, it will discontinue early to mid 2011. About one year.
I discovered the FAQ while wondering about a Incontext error message that I was receiving. I did not receive a notice from Adobe.
Was Adobe going to let us know?
213. Re: Pay for InContext ???Tommy Logic Apr 14, 2010 9:07 AM (in response to lizapulsifer)
Well either way, you get it free for a year until you find another solution.. besides CS5 is about to roll out anyway.. LOL
In Adobe's defense... I think that it was blatently clear to them (thanks greatly to this thread) that none of us would buy this product & it probably makes sense for them to move it into the Business Catalyst package. Just by reading the comments in here, I don't think this was the right business model for the target audience. Catalyst will be a big sell to larger firms.. who will gladly pay for the service. Most of the group here seems to be the individual person or small company.. not the type who likes to spend money.
I don't know about you, but I can't remember Adobe EVER giving me something for free.. I'm not surprised in the least.
214. Re: Pay for InContext ???ew3d Apr 14, 2010 9:24 AM (in response to [S]up)
Well, I "paid for" inContext! Multiple times!!
This product was advertised as a feature of CS4. It is that simple. I 'bought' it.
In the meantime we have upgraded our developers to CS4 for this reason. We have completely switched over all of our clients who choose CMS in our packages. We have added inContext code to thousands of pages! We have created the connections for our clients and walked them through the somewhat confusing sign up process. We have tech supported each of those clients to help them be proficient with the editor. This is weeks of work at the very least. I have no idea even how to count the hours.
Now, my end reward is an 'advertised' service inside of one of their flagship products which is now yet again going to cost me thousands of dollars to undo! I'm so mad at the moment that I can't even think straight... but Adobe just hit a 'crawl back under your rock' status with me and my hundreds of clients are going to feel the same.
215. Re: Pay for InContext ???ajranofmt Apr 14, 2010 9:27 AM (in response to [S]up)
I'm getting sick of Adobe! I just told clients the service was free, now I have to go back and tell them NOT! What's wrong with you guys? If it weren't for us creative professionals you wouldn't even BE in business! Now the new CS5 is out, what a joke! The least you could do is charge one yearly fee with unlimited domains. But five domains for a professional...are you serious? You guys obviously don't know our industry well....take a hint...it's time to get off your high-horse and do your market reaserch again because your missing the boat! WE are the reason you've become succesful and WE can just as easily take that away! I already have friends who have ditched your products, having found alternatives, and are much happier. I'm not too far behind!
216. Re: Pay for InContext ???weblinkstudio Apr 14, 2010 10:38 AM (in response to ajranofmt)
Couldn't have said it any better myself. After waiting for quite some time I just signed up and trained several customers. Now I have to go back and tell them that they have to learn a new system besides all my time that I invested and need to reinvest. My trust in Adobe is severely damaged.
217. Re: Pay for InContext ???jtlindrooth Apr 15, 2010 2:48 PM (in response to [S]up)
This is going to kill my business. This was just the kiss of death. I run a small shop and this was a great bonus to my clients and a strong
selling point that they could edit their sites themselves. I will be next to impossible to sell custom sites now.
218. Re: Pay for InContext ???nickelmusic Apr 15, 2010 3:04 PM (in response to jtlindrooth)
This definitely becomes a major headache. I have 25 or 30 sites registered and the notice went out to all of clients as well, who immediately start emailing me with questions about it, etc.
Ugh! Left trying to figure out whether to recode all the pages for a different CMS for free, or start charging them for something that was free.
219. Re: Pay for InContext ???bilbono Apr 15, 2010 3:50 PM (in response to [S]up)
This is unbelievable. Nowhere on the software package I bought did it say I was going to have to pay for ICE. This is wrong. I'm not a big time designer, I just maintain a few sites, and most of my clients are using ICE, some are non-profits. I can't afford to pay for this, and neither can my clients. This could very well put me out of business.
Thanks a lot, Adobe!

I just found out about the discontinuation of InContext a couple days ago on the forum, and have been investigating other CMS options for the 25 or so clients I have who use ICE. Then *BAM* Adobe sends out notifications to all the users I've set up with it, and I'm bombarded with emails from clients ranging from mildly concerned to totally freaked out.
I had to compose a bulk mail assuring them I'm making other arrangements for their websites (AT MY EXPENSE). I spent a lot of money on CS4. Now it's costing me time I can't really afford to spend.
Adobe has just opened up a HUGE opportunity for another company with a great product to zoom in and steal their market share. Glad I sold my Adobe stock (years ago). I am so unhappy with this company right now! I expect there will be a class action suit. Adobe really screwed up this time.
Adobe never even sent me a notification! The emails just went out to all my clients. Thanks alot, by the way.
Bleh. Meh. I am not impressed with Adobe. I once was a big fan.
223. Re: Pay for InContext ???smasheasy Apr 15, 2010 4:42 PM (in response to smasheasy)

224. Re: Pay for InContext ???susanbonser Apr 15, 2010 5:10 PM (in response to smasheasy)
If Adobe buys them, perhaps now that they have BC, they might not mess around with these business models and leave them as really nice CMS web services.
225. Re: Pay for InContext ???ew3d Apr 15, 2010 10:50 PM (in response to [S]up)
I have more thoughts on this.
The 'very' main reason for our upgrading to CS4 was for inContext. It was 'advertised' as a part of the product. Nowhere did I find anything about this being a trial version or anything. If it was meant to be, Adobe has 'deceived' us by hiding this information. I get very frustrated each time I look at their new release as the information provided is scant at best. A class action lawsuit? I certainly hope so as this is going to cost me at least $10,000 to fix and more likely closer to $20,000 in making the now needed changes to our clients' pages.
Someone said that Adobe 'never' gives anything away for free. I beg to differ. From what I have seen, this has been their most successful business model. Can anyone say Acrobat or Flash? Without the 'free' reader and player, the software to create those documents is useless. So, I guess I was ignorant for feeling like inContext was going to be a part of Dreamweaver, a 'selling' point for Dreamweaver and that whatever was needed for inContext was going to equate to something like Acrobat Reader or Flash Player.
I never gave Adobe the permission to contact the clients we have set up under our master account. I certainly hope they did not short sheet us by sending those emails to our clients. We simply need a bit of time for an answer.
I have never complained about the features within inContext. In fact, it is nearly a 'perfect' match for non-savvy web editors should have. We pretty much limit them to text changes. The integration into Dreamweaver was a great feature for our developers, as they were warned about mismatched tags and such... something easier to do as html/xml/css progresses along.
Never did inContext reach outside of it's limited bounds. Something that we have had problems with using other CMS editors. This was the main reason for changing over.
I simply have no idea what Adobe could be thinking? They most certainly must be in serious financial crisis, as doing this to us is the worst customer relations move that has ever had such a devasting effect to my operation.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am so mad that if there is anyway possible, I will simply jump ship. If they do this with one portion of a flagship program, what other technology is to follow. Lie to me once... shame on you... lie to me twice... shame on me.
226. Re: Pay for InContext ???Streetwitch Apr 16, 2010 1:47 AM (in response to ew3d)
Well....they might have sent the notification to loads of people they shouldn't be contacting directly - but at least they received it! I didn't - and I've been using ICE for some time.....someone please paste it into this forum because I don't suppose I'm the only one to be left out of this loop!
227. Re: Pay for InContext ???smasheasy Apr 16, 2010 4:15 AM (in response to Streetwitch)
I will be paying now for Adobe's shutdown of ICE. I'll switch to Surreal or Pagelime and pay $69 a month. It'll cost me many hours of my time, for which I will not be paid. If there's a class action suit, I'm in.
Here's the text of the email(s) Adobe sent to my ICE clients without my permission. I did not receive a copy until my clients began emailing me:

Dear ****************:
You are receiving this e-mail because you are a registered user of Adobe® InContext Editing. Effective May 5, 2010, changes will be made to the preview of Adobe InContext Editing. Further development in its current state will cease, and the following limitations will be implemented:
• New sites cannot be registered with the service.
• New user registrations will no longer be accepted.
If you are registered as an Administrator, you will still be able to define editable regions, configure site settings, and edit users with sites that have been registered with InContext Editing prior to May 5, 2010. If you are registered as an Editor or Publisher, you will still be able to make and publish edits to previously registered sites. For additional details, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions.
InContext Editing will be discontinued as a standalone service in 2011. It is expected to become a part of Adobe Business Catalyst®, a hosted application for building and managing online businesses that can also import your existing website. We will host a special webinar this month to help you learn more about the transition from InContext Editing to Business Catalyst. For more details and to sign up, click here.
Thank you for being a part of the preview for InContext Editing. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We believe the integration with Business Catalyst will be beneficial to both you and your clients, combining easy website editing and content maintenance with a robust online business platform.

quite clealry Adobe have overstepped the mark here, but posting here is not going to help.
I would suggest all those who feel ripped off, who purchased CS4 for ICE, who are going to lose money as a result of having to move form ICE and who have pissed off customers as a result of Adobe contacting them without permission, should pick up the phone and conact Adobe and make an official complaint.
229. Re: Pay for InContext ???smasheasy Apr 16, 2010 5:36 AM (in response to Capt Obvious)
Even better, put it in writing. (Or have your attorney put it in writing). Detailing the grievances and listing the monetary damages.
230. Re: Pay for InContext ???ajranofmt Apr 16, 2010 6:55 AM (in response to smasheasy)
First, Adobe knows what's going on here, though I don't think it's a bad idea to contanct them direct. I emailed a scathing letter to the CEO of HP once, the next day his assistant called me personally and my computer was getting shipped out to be fixed that same day.
Second, If Adobe was smart, they would work up some kind of deal with those of us who've been used as ginnie pig the last two years. Either let us continue using the account for free indefinitely with unlimited domains or charge the yearly fee of $240 with unlimited domains. Anyone who signs up for InContext after fees are implemented should be subject to the change.
I think this situation is deserving of a civil class action suit and should be persued as Adobe needs to realize "False Advertising" is wrong and stupid with a crowed like ours. For me it's not so much they want to charge for the product, I think they have every right to charge for the product. But what they don't have a right to do is give us false preceptions about a product to leer, not only us but also our clients, into buying then slapping us with charges two years later after using us as ginnie pigs for something that was really a beta version but never stated as such. Had I known this in advanced I could have made an exectutive decision as to whether or not I wanted to buy/use the product. But like everyone else here I got sucked into thinking it was an added feature to DWCS4. What's the use in having editable reagions if you don't have the product to use it wth? How much more did we spend on that feature when we purchased the suite? I'm not so sure I want to know....
Finally, if you really want to get back at Adobe, it's simple....don't buy CS5. Adobe revenues are dependent upon us, this very crowed of professional creatives, not the big corporations. They would not survive well without us. So if we really want to teach them a hard lesson, I say boycot CS5 even CS6 if you're really angry! I know I'll be skipping CS5. As for CS6, it will depend on how well Adobe manages themselves, in the meantime I will be looking for alternatives.
231. Re: Pay for InContext ???dhoviss Apr 16, 2010 7:24 AM (in response to smasheasy)
Adobe purchased Interakt and quickly dumped KTML, a fine CMS editor - complete with DW extensions. KTML simply stopped working a month ago, due to FireFox upgrades....So you ICE followers are not the only ones scrambling to update CMS around the net. What this shows is that Adobe can and will do what it pleases for the bottom line. While companies that create really cool products are at risk of buyouts and we all suffer.
There is a movement to create a new kind of company that is not purely beholden to their share holders. You can read about it here;
If Adobe was not solely focused on bottom line, and was more focused on providing the kinds of tools (like mobile app development) needed in todays world (or at least not killing them off), and they offered a long lasting relationship with their loyal developers/clients by really providing value added to the CS series (such as support for ICE as a standalone freebe, and better support for browser labs or a free account with adobe connect - all great tools);
Then I would pre-order CS5 in a heartbeat.

This takes me back to the days when Quark was the page layout leader-- and they treated the users badly. They kept big prices and behaved arrogantly, no education pricing for students or teachers. We walked away. It happens. Better products arrive, better models evolve and we go where we get the best for what we need. That's business, especially in a tight economy. Who's going to use a product that will cost us more, make less profit and cost our clients more.
Years ago Adobe pushed ebooks and their application server for ebooks. I made the mistake of pushing it to my clients and then all of a sudden Adobe stopped selling AND serving the ebooks-- and anyone who bought one was stuck for the cost of the book and no ebook! That was an ouch and I was insulted. Adobe does things sometimes that help their immediate bottom line but hurts their customers. I think they look at the number of people they are going to hurt and if that number is small compared to the cost savings, they make a move that hurts existing customers.
I am guessing we are a small group compared to the cost of running ICE as a web service-- and we lose. That's business.
I can picture who is going to buy the BC service. Maybe companies that don't want to hire designers and techs, don't want to manage their own servers or buy those services. They can get a template, buy BC and plug in their content, stores, whatever for cheap. Network Solutions does it, Yahoo does it. So in that scenario, Adobe is not just cutting us out of the ICE product, the are facilitating the demise of our businesses. Then who is going to buy Photoshop and Illustrator-- because BC businesses will be using templates and clipart.
OK so BC is a *segment* of the online business. I should think Adobe would want to support the creatives and techs who buy all their products to keep their business healthy. We want to control every aspect of the design, hosting, data, and delivery.
Last version, we bought the Master Collection. This time... tere is already a Flash issue with Apple and HTML 5, now Dreamweaver changes support of ICE. What's next.

Takes me back... to my favorite image editing program - Photo Styler from Aldus. Guess who eventually purchased that and made it go away?
Not sure how this is useful since it makes no difference now, but I do see a re-occuring theme here.
Purchasing the competition is cheeper than out competing with them.
All the big companies do this, but it is the consumer and the developers that get the short end.
I also believe that it stifles competition and innovation.

So, is anyone planning to go with Business Catalyst? I think it's going to have to be Wordpress for me. Also, would have been nice to have been told by Adobe that something I have spent so much time and money on is being withdrawn with just a couple of weeks warning - what on earth am I supposed to do with sites that are due for signing off in the next few weeks?
I daren't go for Contribute as that will probably get withdrawn too. Anyone got any recommendations?
235. Re: Pay for InContext ???pavitra2010 Apr 20, 2010 3:19 AM (in response to maggie ourpets)
Why not go for Contribute ....???
If the client is only asking for maintaining himself his website then no need to master the complexity of a CMS ...
+ you don't have to tweak the CSS of the CMS, since you just reuse your Dreamweaver templates ....
Only thing with Contribute is that when you go to its forum :
- Judging by the posts it seems quite buggy .....
- Aggravating factor, many users are reporting problems and asking help from Adobe, but it seems there is very few answers coming
But it might be that it is because they don't worry too much fixing the bugs of Contribute CS3 or 4, since CS5 is out these days .....
It would be nice to have feed-back from some Contribute users on the ease and reliability of the product .....
One big issue on the forum seemed to be that at each upgrade of Contribute, if you choosed to upgrade, then ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS MUST ALSO UPGRADE ( and pay for it !!!!) ....
If you choose to go Wordpress, you will be happy to know that DREAM 5 can now be customised to easily edit the Wordpress templates (which was not that easy for the beginning developpers ....)
See http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=59959 (click on the video "Workinghttp://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=59959#withhttp://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=59959#CMShttp://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=59959#frameworks" )
236. Re: Pay for InContext ???Zabeth69 Apr 20, 2010 4:43 AM (in response to pavitra2010)
I do recommend investigating the Business Catalyst solution. It has the most follow-on possibilities. I've attended several BC webinars for training...still on a free account...and am quite impressed by the integrated web solutions, including but way beyond merely editing one's website. Several levels of membership for us developers, many possibilities for my clients. Best of all (well, high up on the list, anyway) is that it is not only a hosted service, it is a hosting service, so I can recommend a hosting server with confidence. It's nice to be able to take control or influence over that sometimes dicey arena: "what is your webhost? do they run PHP? no? well, you have to change...let me find one for you... what about ecommerce?"
Contribute was well-loved by my client, as well, until I upgraded and they didn't. Then everything broke. So there's an enforced upgrade cost there, that I wanted to avoid by going to InContext Editing.
Although InContext Editing was always in Beta, it appears to be fully released (Cristinel, correct me if I'm wrong!) on Business Catalyst.
Plus, you don't actually have to set up editable areas to have your complete page (defined areas...like divs) (I'm assuming except the portions protected by being on the template) editable automatically.
You can also set up for your client to edit xml files, etc., if you want, as for slide shows. It's all in how you set up the client's permissions...a great range of possibilities.

Don't panic. As I understand it, the May 2010 date is when Adobe stops accepting new users; our current InContext sites will continue to be editable until (sometime in) 2011. So we've got at least nine months to find a new service. There's another thread in this forum that discusses alternatives. (This thread is no longer relevant.)
238. Re: Pay for InContext ???cristinel@adobe Apr 20, 2010 7:42 AM (in response to maggie ourpets)
Hi Maggie,
The service page on Adobe.com and InContext Editing FAQ states:
InContext Editing will be discontinued as a standalone service in 2011.
This means existing websites will continue to work until that date to give you plenty of lead time to decide on the plan to follow. If you decide to transfer your sites to Business Catalyst, you will not have to recode the pages since InContext Editing has been integrated and the it recognizes the already defined regions.
On the InContext Editing service, the only two features that are going to be disabled in the May update are the new site and user registration. And by user registration we mean the registration as a portal user. Your customers will still be able to add new users to their websites.
Best regards,
239. Re: Pay for InContext ???mrsdesignsherman Apr 20, 2010 1:27 PM (in response to [S]up)
Dear Adobe,
I have apprecaited the InContext editing features built into Dreamweaver. I have set up many sites to use ICE. I understood that one day I may have to pay for the service because I read the small print when I signed up.
However, it was NEVER mentioned that in addition to making the service a paid service that I would also have to go through the additional work of changing hosting services for clients set up to use ICE.
That is a big time commitment. Who am I supposed to charge for that? I can't charge the client because I am the one who suggested using the current hosts! And, what if my client does not want to make the change? I will now have to learn a new CMS system, re-setup the site, and reteach my client. Again, I can't really charge my client for that. They already paid me to do it once. So, this will also have to be done at my own expense.
I must also mention how I feel that Adobe has not acknowledged that many of us risk losing credibility with our established clients because as professionals we endorsed the use of ICE and the hosts that we chose for them. I take that very seriously! If not handled correctly, that could increase the losses that we endure because of the changes.
I HOPE that you will consider supporting all of us who have already used ICE for current clients by creating some kind of package- even if we must pay a nominal fee (IMO)- so that those clients can continue to edit their sites on their own servers. It's the right thing to do. Please reward us for the support and loyalty for your products. After all, we now see that we were guinea pigs!
To be honest, I have been a consistent Adobe fan for over 12 years. But, this change that Adobe has been handled quite 'breezily' is HUGE to many of us. I'm looking at least a loss of at least one week's worth of income while I make whatever changes that my clients and I decide on. And, your "sorry for the inconvenience" is a BIG understatement.
On top of losing that income, you want me to buy into the BC platforn with an expense of at least $995?
I am happy wth the sites and CMS options now, and I don't want to spend additional, unbillable time to make changes that the client and I do not need.
Let me, a professional designer, CHOOSE BC because I want to, for the right reasons- because it does seem to have a lot of potential. Please don't force me to spend up to $2000 for services that I have had for the last 2 years for free!
I bet that many of us would be able to see the value of the BC platform much better FOR FUTURE CLIENTS if we weren't so upset about taking care of our current ones that we have entrusted to you through ICE.
I hope that you will reconsider how you hadle those of us in this awkward situation with our clients. If not, I will take account of all of the time spent on making all of the necessary changes for me to get my clients account back to where they are now (which is where they want to be), to research all of the CMS options so that I can choose one that is approporiate for clients who do not want to change, to implement all changes in coding, client time in eduacting them and training them. Who should I send that bill to? Did I hear something about a class-action lawsuit?
This ICE change has created a big mess and has caused a lot of us anxiety as we figure out how to deal with this.
We originally chose your products because we saw the value in them. That's why we suggested to our clients to trust you/your ICE product.
Please value your clients (the design community) like we all value ours,
Jackie Sherman

Sure, those grandbabies are cute, but a close bond with your adult grandchildren can help reduce depression for both of you – and the closer the bond, the more antidepression benefits there are, a new study finds.
Much has been written about grandparents helping with – or even raising – young grandchildren. Yet "[w]e know relatively little about what grandparents and grandchildren do for each other on a daily basis during the grandchildren's adulthood," Boston College sociologist Sara Moorman, Ph.D., told the New York Times.
For her study, presented at last week's annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, Moorman and coauthor Jeffrey Stokes looked at 20 years of survey data from the Longitudinal Study of Generations, a survey of three- and four-generation U.S. families.
Their sample included 376 grandparents and 340 grandchildren. The average grandparent was born in 1917; the average grandchild, in 1963 – making them 77 years old and 31 years old, respectively, at the midpoint of the study, in 1994.
What Moorman and Stokes found was that grandparents who got help from their grandchildren but didn't give any in return had the greatest increase in depression. Those grandparents, however, who did give in return – some advice, a little money or a gift – reported the greatest mental health benefit.
In other words, "[w]hen [grandparents] can't give back, that's depressing," Moorman explained.
"There's a saying, 'It's better to give than to receive,'" she added. "Our results support that folk wisdom – if a grandparent gets help but can't give it, he or she feels badly. Grandparents expect to be able to help their grandchildren, even when their grandchildren are grown, and it's frustrating and depressing for them to instead be dependent on their grandchildren."
Plus, the greater emotional support grandparents and adult grandchildren got from each other, "the better their psychological health." Those who reported having a close bond were less likely to report feeling lonely or sad, and to experience a lack of energy or sleeplessness.
Moorman acknowledged that most of us were raised to be solicitous of our elders and to help them out as much as possible, though, as she told CBS News, "all people benefit from feeling needed, worthwhile and independent."
And for grown-up grandkids, she had this advice: "Let Granddad write you a check on your birthday, even if he's on Social Security and you've held a real job for years now."

Nintendo TVii Launching Dec 20th
The much ballyhooed Nintendo TVii service will finally be available to Wii U owners in North America starting Thursday.
Nintendo's free TVii service will provide a whole new way to enjoy television programming through the Wii U console. TVii takes all the available media content from cable providers like Comcast and streaming services like Hulu Plus, and combines them into one central location for easier browsing. Consumers will merely have to locate what they want to watch, press a button, and the Wii U will take care of all the details.
Even more interesting, the Wii U will also allow users to interact with other players and viewers through the GamePad. TVii incorporates the same MiiVerse functionality many of the Wii U's games feature, allowing people to stay connected even while watching the latest episodes of their favorite shows. Facebook and Twitter are also compatible, which allows people to keep in touch with social networks without any extra devices.
More compatibility is coming in 2013, with Netflix and TiVo upgrades planned. "Nintendo TVii shows how the integrated second screen of the GamePad can also transform and enhance the TV viewing experience. Welcome to the new world of TVii," said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime.
Check out the video below to see just what kind of connectivity is possible with TVii.

OK, whoever said there was never anything big announced at CES anymore (I think it was me) was sure wrong this year. It was kind of amazing how many products from Chinese vendors I lusted for that you just can't get in the US, but that was far from the end of my wish list. We also saw an amazing game system from Nvidia that won't be here for around five months, and 3D sound from Audi which I can't get in the car I'd like to buy from them, and that's just scratching the surface.
Let's chat about the amazing tech that you can't now, and in some cases, may never buy that was showcased at CES 2013.
In-car DVR
I've picked up a somewhat sick habit of late, as I've gotten hooked on videos of crazy Russian drivers. Just search on the topic. Apparently a ton of them have video cameras running all the time in their cars and, from what I understand, they use the videos to prove they weren't the ones that caused an accident. And accidents there are plenty of. In Russia, crazy driving is apparently an understatement. Well, a Chinese company was showcasing an in-car DVR with a camera that sits next to your mirror and has a light treatment kind of like KITT (the name of the artificially intelligent Pontiac Trans Am) in the old show Knight Rider. It runs all the time and, if you have an accident, will lock down the image before and continue filming. But you can also just leave it running and automatically capture stuff you see while driving, and if you are like me, you see crazy stuff that would be fun to share at least weekly. I'm in California, where we are kind of crazy; if you are in New York I'll bet you'd get something every day. The product is called the Black FXD700 from Thinkware, and I'll be on the short list of buyers.
Audi 3D Sound
The most impressive car section of the show belonged to Audi (though the car I most wanted was actually the new Viper over at Chrysler). The booth was a white collapsing box so brightly lit, it looked from a distance like a rare door to outside the convention center. In front was a full F1 race car, followed by the new S-5 RS (I have an S-5 myself) and the new Q7. But the amazing part was the 3D sound demonstration that was far, far beyond anything I'd ever heard in a car. The problem was, when I went and asked if I could get this amazing car audio system in the car I wanted (that bright red with graphite trim S-5 RS) I was told no, it only comes in the Q7, a vehicle that I have no desire for whatsoever. So Audi had the best OEM sound system at the show, and a car I might have actually bought, but since I can't get them together I'm unlikely to buy either.
Huawei 6.1-inch smartphone
I like big phones. Anyone that argues that bigger isn't better is an iPhone user, and that's because they don't have a choice. I'm using my phone now more and more for email, browsing the Web, and even my near 5-inch screen is starting to feel small. I'm also at that age where I should be wearing glasses, but don't' want to. So in smartphones, bigger is better for me, and at 6.1 inches, no one was bigger at CES than Huawei. This was a huge Android phone, and I so wanted it. The problem is that while Huawei is huge in China, it's unknown in the U.S., and apparently having issues getting carriers. So it's unlikely I'll get the big phone I want, until someone else that is already in the US market builds it.
Nvidia Project Shield
Now, of all the gadgets I saw at the show, the one that first got me drooling was the Nvidia Project Shield handheld game system. It has an impressive built-in screen, full-on game controller, and fully ported onboard sound system, plus it can output a 4K Ultra HD image to any Ultra HD TV. This is truly next-generation game platform. The woman sitting next to me was just mumbling "I want, I so want" over and over again during the Nvidia presentation. This makes conventional handheld gaming systems and the old "give away the razor, sell the blades" gaming model seem last century. Problem is, it won't be out for another five months at least, and I want it now.
Surface Pro
Although Microsoft didn't have an official presence at CES 2013, I also got a chance to play with its upcoming Surface Pro platform. Suddenly this product is looking a lot more interesting to me, and there are some unexpected surprises. Unfortunately, I can't share any of that for a few weeks, yet nor will I have one to play with until next month. But at least I won't have to wait long for that product.
In the end, CES was full of surprises, but most of the ones I really wanted I can't buy now. Fortunately, I only have to wait a few weeks for some of them. Now if I can just figure out where my wife hid my wallet by then, I'll be good.

Vanessa Paradis attended the Paris premiere of her new film, Café de Flore, on Monday, marking her first official public appearance since us"s report that she and longtime partner Johnny Depp are living separate lives.
The actress, 39, breezed past photographers on the red carpet, pausing only once to pose with Marin Gerrier – the young actor who plays her son in the movie – and the film"s director, Jean-Marc Vallée.
"She had the air she always does – polite, smiling saying hello to everyone inside," says French TV reporter Christophe Beaugrand. But reporters were explicitly told that no personal questions were allowed.
She sported a black tuxedo jacket, a flowing black tie, rust-colored leather pants and four-inch heels for the event.
Paradis seemed happy to be in Paris and was accompanied by her sister Alysson at the premiere, 5,000 miles away from Depp, who was last spotted in Los Angeles Thursday.
Last week, she was photographed shopping in the French city.
Paradis left the premiere early and briefly signed autographs for fans outside the UGC Danton theater, before heading to the afterparty at the nearby Chez Castel nightclub.

Thought Romeo and Juliet were up against it? Think again. They've got nothing on our star-crossed American Toads.
To mate, these "Bufo americanus" have to venture out of 325 acres that surround Roxborough's Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, navigate around a formidable stone wall and hike the steep hill to the waters of Upper Roxborough Reservoir. All while trying to avoid getting hit by cars on Port Royal Avenue.
"For a road that's not that busy, it gets a lot of traffic," commented Derek Colquhoun, a weekly volunteer for Toad Detour (aka the DETOUR Project — Detour for Emerging Toads of Upper Roxborough), an initiative adopted by the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. Thanks to this program, these toads enjoy a better fate than Shakespeare's famous duo. Many are killed by cars every year, but many also survive because of their human benefactors.
Volunteers survey the intersection of Hagy's Mill Road and Port Royal Avenue from March to June to watch for crossing toads. Once the toads start to migrate, volunteers block off the road and count the cold-blooded vertebrates. Last year, nearly 2,000 were recorded.
The toads, which need a warm, moist environment to start their mating migration, usually appear on the street in mid-March. However, because of the unseasonably nippy weather, the first toads were only sighted for the first time on Easter Sunday.
Once they start, the amorous animals take about three days to cross the street. After mating, the toads wait six weeks as their offspring, or toadlets, become strong enough to hop. The multigenerational trek back to the woods takes about three days.
The Toad Detour project highlights the increasing reality of habitat infringement. Dr. Keith Henderson, a professor in Villanova University's Geography and the Environment Department, told us about how human development changes the landscape of natural habitats and challenges native creatures. "Without human interaction you wouldn't have toads anymore," he said. "It can serve as a case study for larger phenomenon like suburban sprawl."
Although major deforestation hasn't taken over the woods where the toads spend most of the year, the small imposition on Port Royal Avenue changes their habitat and the way in which the toads and humans are able to interact with the land. In fact, the juxtaposition of humans and toads living in a modified habitat ignited the creation of Toad Detour in the first place.
Lisa Levinson, a former Roxborough resident, thought she saw brown leaves on the road one spring. Curious as to why there would be falling leaves in the spring, Levinson got out of her car to discover these were not leaves, but toads. That night, Levinson called a police car to block the road. She then obtained a permit and ran the Toad Detour program until passing it over to the Schuylkill Center when she moved to the West Coast.
Following her original model, volunteers patrol the road from 6:45 to 9 p.m. on spring nights. Anyone and everyone can volunteer. Interested parties can contact Claire Morgan, the volunteer coordinator at the Schuylkill Center, at email@example.com or 215-482-7300, ext. 120. Volunteers can also learn more at the Facebook page, "Toad Detour at the Schuylkill Center," or the Toad Detour website www.schuylkillcenter.org/programs/public_events
The toads obviously benefit from the work of the volunteers, but these woodland friends have a surprising way of helping their human counterparts. Toads balance insect populations and help gardeners. And, lets admit it; they're just downright cute. Volunteer Derek Colquhoun is excited to bring his wife and children so they can, "just see the toads and experience the wildlife." Being able to watch a migration presents a great educational opportunity for families to teach the values of volunteerism, habitat preservation and respect for nature to their children.
For those wishing to learn more about this unique initiative but unable to make the nighttime hours, a new documentary about Roxborough's Toad Detour has just been created by filmmaker Burgess Coffield. Also, the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, open 9-5 Monday through Saturday, offers many resources to learn more about the American Toad species and their habitat.
As Morgan summarizes, "This is a pretty unique situation, we have acres of land plus some adjacent property, and they have to lay their eggs in water, so they found this unique reservoir. They are nocturnal and move at night, so by protecting them we prevent them from becoming endangered in this region. We also protect their babies. We are protecting thousands and thousands of toads. And they are very important to the ecosystem."
Grace Cipressi is a junior Communications student at Villanova University. Interested in environmental education, Grace enjoys studying and explaining the relationship between city-dwellers and the environment. She has lived in the area for the past 17 years and was educated in Chestnut Hill, having attended grade school at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jesser Farm, Baca County, Colorado
Electronic mail message from Velma
The Jesser Farm was located in Baca County, Colorado. As I lived
on that farm until I was 16 years old, I remember definite seasons.
Summers involved canning fruits from the nearby valley and vegetables
from our garden. My father would wear long-sleeved heavy cotton
shirts and a hat to protect him from hot sun as he harvested and
planted wheat and barley and tended the livestock. Summer, hopefully,
brought rain and a bountiful harvest. Summer brought lots of time
for me to see farm animals at play. The weather was hot, fences
needed mending, and buildings and equipment needed repairs Maintenance
was done by hand; if you didn't know how to fix something, you soon
figured it out and often learned by mistake! Fall was a season of
cool breezes and changing colors and a chance to go back to school.
Because we were somewhat isolated, I much looked forward to going
back to school and interacting with other students and my teachers.
Fall was the time of year when we stored the potatoes, stocked dried
beans, ate the last of the summer garden, and prepared for winter.
Winter brought bitter cold and drifting snows but was also a time
of sparkling beauty when the snow reflected the blue skies and bright
sunshine. Winter was a time when animals needed special care, and
most of the activity centered around keeping them well fed and protected
from cold temperatures. We always kept a future supply of groceries
on hand because it was often impossible to go into town. Winter
was long so I completed jigsaw puzzles, ate popcorn, read, and learned
how to sew. Spring brought relief from winter hardships and was
filled with new calves, colts, chicks, piglets, and other newborn
farm and wild animals. In the early years, spring brought dust storms
and high winds causing barren fields and often lives. But mostly,
I remember that spring was a time of planting, cultivating, and
dreaming of successful crop.
I came from a family where women worked outside as well as inside, although I rarely remember my father working inside. My grandmother built her own house, farmed her own land, and tended her own animals alone. My father and mother often worked outside together, and my mother continued with all of the outdoor activities when my father died when I was 12. At that age, that also left me to tend to my three younger brothers and do a lot of cooking and other household chores. Harvest crews were hired to help in the fields, but it was commonly my responsibility to have lunch on the table for all of the crews while my mother supervised the activities in the fields. I learned to cook for crowds and find it hard to this day to cook a meal for one or two. What a waste of efficiency!
Most importantly, I remember my days on the farm as being days of excitement, constant activity, and interaction with nature. I remember those days as being happy days with much family interdependency of a health productive kind. I remember the farm as being peaceful with wide open spaces and opportunity for creativity. The farm taught me responsibility, endurance, a hard work ethic, and hope. It was a time when I look back and see that we were financially poor, but we didn't know that we were poor. In our culture and heritage we were rich and proud to be German-Russian Americans!

Peppermint dragées with chocolate
Let me tell you, the house smells heavenly.
And it's snowing outside, for the second day already. We're going to have a beautiful, white Christmas..
Here's a very slightly adapted recipe for Anne's lovely peppermint patties. There are ideal for popping into your mouth (either one-by-one, or by handful) after a meal..
Chocolate-covered minty dragées
(Piparmündidražeed šokolaadis)
1 medium egg white
300 grams icing sugar, sifted
3 to 5 drops of peppermint oil*
0.5 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
dark chocolate to cover
In a big bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Mix in the icing sugar, little by little (I used the flat beater in my new KA mixer), until combined and you've got a thickish paste. Add peppermint oil and vanilla extract, if using.
(I used a lot less than Anne's recommended 1.5 tsp, and the dragées were definitely minty enough. Maybe it's the specific brand I used (see below)? The shopkeeper warned me to use only a few drops, too)
Roll the sugar paste into small balls, lay out to dry overnight on a metal rack (see photo on the right).
Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler, dip dried sugar balls into the melted chocolate and let them harden in room temperature.
Keep in a air-tight jar for up to a week.
* I got mine from Specialkøbmanden in Copenhagen last month - thank you, Zarah Maria, for the tip!

Peppermint oil - at least the kind that's for sale here - is a LOT stronger than the peppermint extract I used, so you're spot on about using a lot less. :) They look absolutely lovely!

oi ma armastan piparmünti šokolaadiga, aga Eestist ilmselt seda ekstrakti vist ei leia. Vanasti oli mingeid essentse saada küll, aga kas sel hulgas ka piparmündi oma oli?

These sound like little home-made peppermint patties - which were among my favourite sweets as a child. I wonder if you could add peppermint liqueur for some very grown-up after dinner treats? Yum.

I just made these last night ... I used peppermint oil (from King Arthur or Penzey's) but used the 1.5 teaspoons ... and probably less sugar (I had an open box, and a whim, soooo.....). But they turned out GREAT. I was worried at first they were too strong, but they mellowed. And Carter and I are SNARFING them.

K & S - they did smell wonderfully minty:)
Anne - thanks! I'll keep that in mind should I ever buy peppermint extract. The extracts are sold in tiny bottles here, so I kind of assumed they're potent, too.
Dianne - if you click on the gingerbread bit of the post, you're being transferred to the recipe:)
Kajakas - kui kusagilt ei leia, siis võin vabalt pudelikese Sulle laenata (nt Aari vahendusel), et siis pärast kümmekonna tilga võrra kergemana tagasi saada..
Thredahlia - aitäh nõu eest!
Jeanne - adding peppermint liqueur sounds like a good idea - just make sure it's an extra potent one!
Evelin - welcome to my blog, and pleased to hear you liked these candies! Greetings to Carter and the kids:)

It was our initial intention to develop a suitable lowercase for Les Usherwood's 'Elston' typeface, based on a few characters from an old German typeface called Hermes Grotesque (Woellmer, Berlin).

Ryder Cup, There's Tension in the Air. September 29 2012
There is tension in the air as the Ryder Cup closed on the second day with the U.S.A. in firm command of the situation, with a little help from the officials and the rub of the green, which always went in their favor. Jim Furyk first objected to a ruling given to Graeme McDowell on gaining relief from a sprinkler head, Furyk stated there should be no relief given and called for the head referee, who then subsequently changed the original ruling. Jim said of the affair; "I looked over to see what was happening, I saw that he was going to get relief and get to probably drop the ball into the fringe so they'd be putting rather than chipping. When I looked to see where the ball was, I believe it was a good four inches, I'm being probably conservative, four to five inches ahead of that sprinkler head. They were going to gain a big advantage by being able to drop that ball. He had a sticky lie and a very delicate chip and to be able to putt that ball would have been a huge advantage and I really didn't feel in any situation, whether it be matchplay or medal play, that it could be deemed a drop." Seems like Jim wants to win at any cost. What a different point of view than that of Jack Nicklaus who 1969 conceded a putt to Tony Jacklin, to halve the entire match. By giving Jacklin the putt, Nicklaus made the half look less like an accomplishment by the British (who had won the cup only once since 1933) than like a personal gift from Nicklaus. It also left forever hanging the possibility that the reigning British Open Champion might have gagged over his eighteen-incher. That's one of the cool things about match play. Later in the day Bubba Watson was given relief from the opposite side of the bleachers from the nearest point of relief, he chipped on and made birdie, any complaint from the Europeans, no absolutely not, the referee made a ruling and they got on with it. Justice was done in the end when McDowell and McIlroy won their match. But really sad to see the lengths some people will go to just to make sure they win. As they say in America, that was a win/win situation. The affair has put Jim Furyk into a bad place with regards good spirit and fair play, and how people all over the world gauge him as a man. The U.S.A. finished the day still leading the Europeans by a comfortable margin, 9-4, and it will take a super human effort from the Europeans on the last day to change the course of this match. I just hope that tomorrow some of the decisions and bounces will go their way and make it an even contest. Tiger Woods suffered his third straight defeat in this Ryder Cup, eroding his record in this contest even further, his only chance of a point will come in the singles. Tiger is, and always has been a loner, and as such he will summon the effort required to win his singles match. Europe managed to avoid a sweep, thanks to who else? Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, who beat Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson 1 up. Poulter has Europe's best winning percentage in Ryder Cup play with a 10-3-0 record, and there was no way he was going to let the Americans take a point from his match. "It was absolutely key, Jose put us out No. 1 for a reason, and that's to get the point and put the point up on the board." If Ian's fighting spirit becomes contagious, the Europeans do still have a fighting chance, but no betting man would put his money on them. In the afternoon Ian and Rory secured the last point of the day, with Ian's 5th straight birdie.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Many NBA teams are using these slow days of summer to release news related to their uniforms, and the Los Angeles Lakers are no exceptions. They haven't given us a full reveal yet, but here's a quick glimpse of what the Lakers are calling their "Hollywood Nights" uniforms — black with what appears to be purple lettering and gold trim — which they'll wear for select games during the 2013-14 season…
Lakers Give Sneak Peek Of New Uniforms
16 Comments
Black color? dark season awaits them right?
16 nba championships guy how many does ur team got
Short sleeve jerseys are a joke! That's college bball. We're watching the NBA. You either like college or u like the NBA. The NBA should stick to sleeve-less jerseys! that's their authenticity. Almost the entire season that Dwight plays for the Lakers he wore sleeve(s). It showed his weakness. makes him look weak! that's why he wasnt so successful. He supposed to be a dominant center but he looked weak. It's a mental game. It gives his opponent confident!
You play for the Lakers? That's cool!
looks like they can even the celtics in the next 2 years paul hahaha
good choice! showtime is back baby! and now its black!
looks cool but i dont really see black when i see there colors
The black mamba in black (& still a laker!)
Hopefully still will live up to his name able to weave in and out and around opponents with his deadly strike!
Represents how the nba are casting a blanket over them basically saying there goinna suck and the bam you pick up the blanket and you striked by the mamba. never bet against kobe. as kobe say.. "if i were to get into a fight with a bear, pray for the bear."
Appropriate color choice considering this season's prospects
Those Black Jerseys with Gold trim are Fresh, cant wait to buy one.
Love it..I want to have jersey no. 24….lakers for life
Back in Black
I don't think it looks good. Gold and Purple combination is brand color for Lakers. so don't change it. I heard (Yellow, Gold) color brings Power and Win.
Back in Gold. :).

It can take a while to get them. First you stay on the waiting list and build up points.
But even if you don't get in as long as you donate 100 dollars or more you usually get the Go Blue pack which is pretty much the whole season minus homecoming.

|agreed with the above
I agree with most of what's been said already. The best new change is that you can really hear the echo off the boxes. I'm not sure if it's louder on the field, but the new acoustics have to help.
The lines in and around the stadium seemed about the same as usual.
I think the new facade surrounding the stadium and the boxes being on top definitely make it seem more imposing.
Also, *new bonus feature*, the west side boxes provide a pretty good amount of shade for the people on the west side which made the temperature perfect as opposed to a little hot on the outside of the stadium. Usually the first few weeks of the season are pretty hot and full of sunburnness. With TNBH this has been made more pleasant.

Keep up the good work on the soccer posts. A USMNT blog would also be sweet.
Overall, the tournament was a success for the US team. However, let's not get too hyped up - they still had a 2-3 record.

We should stop scheduling 1-AA teams period. Didn't we learn our lesson against App State? I'd rather risk losing to a terrible FBS team like Kent State than risk losing to this embarrassment of a team. Bad idea, Athletic Dept.

2008 Nissan Titan Pro-4X Trailmaster Suspension - Topping Off The TitanPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on July 1, 2008
When The Datsun Pickup landed in the States, it quickly became one of the most popular economy trucks of the day. In the early '80s Nissan rebranded its line of vehicles and dropped the Datsun name, but it wasn't until the company released the fullsize Titan in 2004 that it gave American truck manufacturers a run for their money.
We contacted Trail Master, which has been in business for more than 30 years now. To help us with our Titan vs. Tundra testing, Trail Master supplied us with a couple of Titans, a suspension or two, and a good look at its manufacturing facilities.
We then traveled to Lamb Nissan in Scottsdale, Arizona, where we installed a Trail Master 6-inch suspension system on an '07 Titan. It's a relatively easy bolt-on installation, but takes the better part of a day. After the install we hit the highway for a road test and found the suspension to be responsive, comfortable, and highway friendly. The next day we headed down to the Crown King Trail to put Trail Master's feature truck with the same suspension and a 3-inch body lift through its paces in a head-to-head trail run with the Tundra. The suspension and body lift allowed the fitment of 37-inch tires, which gave it enough ground clearance to make it through some difficult obstacles. The tires were one size too big and rubbed a little, but overall we like the way the suspension handled and performed on the trail and highway. Most of all we liked that the suspension held up to some tough wheeling and didn't fail. If it doesn't break, it's certainly a product we approve of!

Advanced Micro Devices ranks as one of the top gainers among stocks in the S&P 500 after the chip maker\'s adjusted fourth-quarter loss of 14 cents a share beat the average Wall Street estimate for a loss of 21 cents a share. But analysts remain cautious as they sift through the chip maker\'s results, which included a wider loss of $473 million.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Vivek Arya said AMD continues to show progress toward a 25% cut in operating cost reductions and breaking even in the second half of 2013. But AMD\'s forecast for a 9% drop in first-quarter sequential sales — worse than Intel\'s
target for a 6% drop — \"accentuates the challenges the company faces.\"
Namely, AMD is losing market share in personal computers and servers.
Arya likes AMD\'s cost cutting, projected breakeven results in the second half of 2013 and console wins for the Sony PlayStation and the Microsoft X Box. But the company\'s downside includes cash burn, market share challenges, and pressure on margins.
J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Danely characterized AMD\'s results as \"mixed\" with a first-quarter revenue estimate that matched his forecast. He reiterated his neutral rating on the stock.
\"While AMD appears inexpensive…we believe the stock will remain under pressure given weak personal computer demand, share loss, net debt and lack of profitability,\" Danely said.
Michael McConnell of Pacific Crest Securities said AMD is starting to move away from the legacy personal computer chip market that remains a majority of its current revenue, but added \"we see a long road ahead\" in the face of \"high execution requirements, low visibility and a high likelihood of pressure from the PC market.\" AMD\'s fourth quarter offered a \"positive gross margin surprise\" but its revenue forecast turned out to be weaker than expected, said McConnell.
Despite these comments, investors are giving AMD a nice ride up at the moment. With nearly 30 million shares trading hands, its ranked among the volume leaders on the New York Stock Exchange.
The 9% jump in its stock price in recent trades to $2.66 a share marks a break out of a trough below $2.50 a share earlier this month. If the levels hold, AMD will move up to levels rarely seen since last October, when it sank below $3 a share.

It is not every day when the true love and passion of one's work flows so easily in conversation, but sometimes the phenomenon is supernatural. Vocalist Andy Vargas was born into music and has taken his own career evolution into a higher plane of consciousness. Vargas musically diversifies himself - embracing every role with passion and truth. The singer vocally fronts iconic band Santana, lead by his own hero, guitarist and legend, Carlos Santana, and also infuses his own unique style of music into his very own Souleros Records.
A Home of Music and Performance
The path of Vargas is one paved with talent, respect, intuition and humility. His father, Javier Vargas is a talented singer in his own right, and was highly influential on his son. "It was definitely the foundation for all of my future music inspiration," Andy Vargas says. "My dad playing music at our house and going out and watching him perform was definitely the core of my inspiration."
Vargas continues, "I would always sing along with my dad, and then what would happen was I would get up and sing for my cousins. So every family gathering, they would always want me to get up and perform. We'd always have these little shows. Finally, my dad would take me out with him while he was performing at fairground festivals. That happened when I was seven, eight and nine. I would sing cute little songs, but it helped me overcome my fear of audiences."
"My dad is a vocal instructor, so he instructed me. We studied together," Vargas explains. "Then, I went for piano training and I learned guitar from my dad, by learning songs."
Music was part of everyday life for Vargas, but he knew that there was something big out there for him. "I knew I would have to actually branch out and go out into the world and seek my dream of becoming a recording artist, which is what I really wanted to do." He recalls going out on a Christmas Eve one night, looking at the moon, and wishing on his dream. That dream began to manifest itself in the form of legendary guitarist, Carlos Santana, one of Vargas's idols.
Fade in to View… Carlos Santana
Shortly after the release of Santana's monster album, "Supernatural" in 1999, that Christmas Eve wish started to come true. "I was a recording artist with RCA BMG, and I had signed with them at the age of 17. What ended up happening was the that Carlos had recorded the record, 'Smooth.' The single had taken off and they were auditioning someone to join the band to help lead and perform the vocals." Through his managers Lou Adler and Terry Melcher, Vargas was put in front of Carlos Santana and as they say, "the rest is history."
Vargas has been fronting Santana for nearly two decades and has been on 20 world tours with the band. Additionally, the band has a long-standing residency. "Every three months, we go play the residence at House of Blues Mandalay Bay," says Vargas.
Carlos Santana once served as a hero and idol to Vargas, and has proved to be a mentor of the most humble nature. Vargas states, "Carlos's passion for music is definitely what I pick up on. His passion is everything to him and his music is everything to him. It's very important - How to tour, how he holds himself, how he speaks, how he plays music and how he feels music. I learn about it every day. You can always go deeper."
Souleros Records
Vargas founded his own label, Souleros Records, in 2015 as an extension of his musical creativity. The music itself is a fusion of R&B, Latin funk and Spanish ballads – a "Chicano Soul," if you will. "It is an independent label, brand, culture, sound and style of my music," says Vargas. "We released a few singles last year and we'll continue to release music throughout this year."
Down the road, Vargas hopes to sign on some additional artists with Souleros. "In the future, we definitely hope to grow and expand. As of right now, it's a home for my own solo projects," Vargas states.
"We're gearing up for the release of our next few singles, as well as shows and tours throughout California and the West Coast," says the singer. "There are some plans for some possible overseas touring and that will all be done when I'm not touring with Santana."
Juggling his own musical efforts with those of the ongoing residence of Santana sounds like it might make for a crazy schedule, but Vargas takes it all in stride. "It's about just consistently working," Vargas says with a little laugh.
Even today, there are musical influences that continue to inspire Vargas. "My favorite vocalists are Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Anita Baker is also one of my favorites of all time," he says. "Classic soul singers are my favorite." He also singles out Michael Jackson as someone with whom he would have loved to collaborate. Another collaboration he would love to pursue, is something with his longtime friend, Fergie.
The musician started his own organization, The Andy Vargas Foundation, that works to inspire at-risk-youth to make better life choices. His foundation pairs young adults with mentors in areas of strength, desire and education.
"We've been collaborating with other foundations and helping them through an outreach, bringing attention, helping them with fundraising where possible, assisting with presentations and helping them wherever needed," says Vargas. Some of the groups he has worked with include Padres con Cancer, Learn for Life, Operation New Hope and various schools. "We had a fundraiser honoring Carlos Santana in Las Vegas, with George Lopez and Eva Longoria. That was a lot of fun."
He is continually devoted to causes for kids and mentoring and inspiring them to reach higher. "Wherever there is a block, we can always succeed over it."
Vargas finishes by saying, "I wish everyone who reads this love, light and hope."

When Jimmy Fallon takes over "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno in February 2014, he's not just getting an upgrade in his start time, he's also getting a billing promotion.
As first pointed out by the Huffington Post, Fallon's "Tonight Show" will be titled "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." That's a throwback to late-night king Johnny Carson's reign, when the show was titled "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."
Both hosts to take over the show after Carson, Leno and Conan O'Brien, got a less prestigious "With" in the title. And Fallon currently hosts "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
PHOTOS: Classic 'Tonight Show' moments
The upgrade in title could be a move, if somewhat minor, to set Fallon apart from his other late-night competition, Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC and "Late Show With David Letterman."
It was also announced Tuesday that Fallon's longtime writer, Amy Ozols, would be taking over as producer of the new "Tonight Show," with "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels serving as executive producer.
Ozols has been with Fallon's show since it launched in 2009 and is credited with coming up with several of his most popular parodies, including the "Real Housewives" spoofs and "Game of Desks."
She also wrote his opening number from the 2010 Emmy Awards.

DOWNERS GROVE – Immigration reform advocates plan to greet House Deputy Whip Peter Roskam on Thursday outside the Downers Grove Township GOP Annual Reagan Day Dinner to send him the message that "Real leaders lead, not hide," according to a press release.
The group said it thinks Rep. Roskam is out of touch with Illinois voters who support a path to citizenship.
"As a leader of the Republican Party, Congressman Roskam has continued to fail to lead by blocking immigration reform and not coming up with solutions to fix the broken immigration system," the group said in a news release. "Our families have visited his office time and time again and the Congressman has not met with families affected by immigration reform."
The release says the group will bring a "10-foot-high Roskam puppet" to the rally.
The rally is set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Ashyana Banquet Hall, 1620 75th St., Downers Grove.

In Plain Sight
June 28, 2010
What a wild experience! In March of 2010 the Inn at Rio Rancho had the privilege to host the staff and crew from USA Network's "In Plain Sight" TV series! It was an incredible couple of days and an unforgettable experience. For the staff here at the Inn it was a rare opportunity to see the filming process first hand, to experience the fabled "Magic of Hollywood" right in our own hotel, and to meet with some first class professionals as they practiced their trade. On the first day of shooting it was as though our front lobby had been transformed into a frenetic hive of cables, cameras, lights and, of course, tons of people. It was amazing to see how many people are actually required to film a show like "In Plain Sight," it was much more than I had anticipated when we first told that they would be using our property. But there they were, several dozen ominous looking suits, harried script writers, meticulous costume designers and actors all zipping about the lobby on various errands and tasks. It was impressive to see how they managed to keep things organized among so many different people, with special respect to the director and producers for their hard work in that regard. Over the next few days they filmed in the Toro Bar and Grill, our on-site restaurant specializing in tequila, the kitchen, and the presidential suite and never once, in the time that I spent with the crew, did I ever see their enthusiasm flag or their excitement waiver. Indeed, they seemed to be as excited about the show as we were, maybe more. It could just be me, but seeing people that dedicated to and inspired by their job engenders a contagious sense of avidity and I was bragging about the experience for days. When the episode finally aired on USA Network on May 12th it was so surreal to see so many familiar sights in such an alien environment, that is, on my TV screen with dynamic characters inhabiting the spaces I see every day. The best scene, for me, was in the kitchen of the Toro Bar, because I remember so clearly the repetitious call for silence, the declaration that "we're rolling" and the "Eaagh!" as one character was attacked. Again. And again. And again. To finally see the finished scene was quite a treat. To all the crew of In Plain Sight, thanks for making my day, heck my month, by coming here and inviting us to watch the magic happen. To the fans of the show, come on down and see the actual locales where the scenes were filmed, maybe spend the night in the Presidential Suite and enjoy the amenities of one of our best rooms, now famous thanks to USA!

The vision of the National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry is based on the experience of the Holy Spirit's power on the day of Pentecost, of a "Church for all the Nations, where all can hear the mighty works of God in their own tongue" (Acts 2:8).
As a new reality is being born in our generation, the Lord of History brings together peoples of various cultures and traditions. It is within this larger context that The United Methodist Church began to consider its Hispanic/Latino ministries as more than an attempt to serve the rising Hispanic/Latino population of the US but instead as an opportunity to go above and beyond the call to faithfulness on the part of the entire church so that we may all join God's action in the creation and development of this new reality.
If we are to "reform the continent and spread Scriptural holiness," we must first respond faithfully to what God is doing in the land. We must eradicate racism and cultural chauvinism from our perspectives and rejoice in the future God is opening to us.
The National Plan strives for a dynamic and growing church, joyously sharing and living the Good News of Jesus Christ in a multiplicity of places, in a variety of cultural settings, reaching the Hispanic and Latino communities throughout the US and embracing their cultural richness and diversity.
