A "sister" website created and managed by a team of individuals. The topics will be varied, covering all aspects of spirituality and creativity.
New to ITC? Make sure to visit the links on the top right.
New to this website? We are known for our Forum
Stream is currently non-operational,
pending infrastructure changes.
The Dead Aren't Dead.
For over 60 years, it has been known that we can communicate with people on the "other side" using electronics. By the "other side" we mean dead, as in people who have "passed on", people who no longer inhabit their physical body here on earth. It began with recorded voices on tape, and has now progressed into the broader area of electronics. Simply put, we can hear the voices of these people in non-physical form and we can also see their images. This area of study is referred to as Instrumental Transcommunication, or I.T.C. for short. This website will refer to these people as "spirit."
This website is dedicated to helping raise public awareness of life after death, Instrumental Transcommunication, and communication with spirit.
Who Says So?
Life after death has been proven, and continues to be proven. It has been established by hundreds of people of repute and distinction over the last century and a half. Want a list with only a small fraction of them? Click here to see who some of these people are. And that is just the beginning. Literally thousands of people work in ITC across the world, and more are becoming aware of it every day. In addition, ITC only comprises a small fraction of the number of people working in areas related to life after death and communication across the veil.
Bottom Line: Why take someone else's word for it? Find out for yourself.
Why Should I Care?
Are you going to die? If so, then it is likely that you will one day find yourself in a position when you will care, for that will be your present situation. Do yourself a favor and investigate this possibility a little further. This website is here to pass on the information to you, the reader. Convincing people is not our number one aim, encouraging people to look into life after death and spirit communication for themselves is what we're about. And if you don't care, why are you here reading this? Here is the information, now what do you choose to do with it? Free your mind and ask for the truth, and you shall find it.
How Do You Know?
I have seen them, and I have heard them - and I am not the only one. By "them" I am referring to people in "spirit". And all of this with electronics, rather than traditional psychic abilities. Every notated image you see here on this website has been obtained by various ITC experimenters, and in these pictures we see people in spirit. Most of these pictures were taken in mediums such as fog, smoke, water, dry ice, televisions, cameras, and computer screens.
There is a difference between "believe" and "know". I don't realize that a hot stove burns because I "believe" it, I "know" it because I have been burnt. Personal experience is more powerful than belief, for no doubt remains. Since 2005, I have sought to find out if there is life after death and have experienced communication with spirit in many ways first-hand. Do I believe in life after death? Absolutely not. I KNOW it to be true, as will you.
How Can I Experience This?
Start by reading up on this subject. Learn about what has already taken place and then, when you are ready, try your first experiments. Visit the websites to the right to brush up on what ITC is all about. Try recording for evp (electronic voice phenonema) and find that you have never been alone.
Visit the ITC Bridge forum, or one of the other forums listed on this website, and share your experiences from your experiments. Visit our stream pages on this website and watch as people on the other side show their images (live, in real-time) as they work towards voice on the ITC Bridge Stream 1 experiment radio.
There is no monopoly on communication with spirit. It is natural and normal, always has been, and always will be. Begin your journey here, and find the answers you seek. Begin your own personal experience today, if you have not already.
Technology To The Rescue
When ITC began, it was most common to record voices on tape recorders. Voices could usually only be heard upon playback. Work was extremely tedious, and required extensive amounts of time. Today, things are a little different. Methods are being used in which we can see spirit images from sound in real-time. Live audio filtering allows some experimenters to hear evp responses in real-time. Video ITC loops and fog can be slowed down so that spirit images can be seen in real-time. More people are becoming interested in and dedicated to "sitting" for direct radio voice. Others are experimenting with real-time voice using online messenging applications.
All in all, things are changing rapidly in the area of ITC. From synthesized voice to allophones, from spectrograph images to ITC water experiments, from optical sound experiments to webcam ITC experiments, technology has helped advance all of these things. There is no doubt that we are closer than ever to understanding that communication with spirit on a large scale is not only possible, but inevitable.
The Internet As A Tool
If it wasn't for the internet, you wouldn't be reading this right now. Without a doubt, it is proving to be a most useful tool for networking and advancing the knowledge of our world today. Not only can we share our experiences with each other, we can also participate in them on the internet- live, as they happen! Envision the future. One day we will all be able to see and talk with spirit live, as if it were television to the other side. Sound crazy? Think again. Who would you want to speak with? What questions would you have? It is not a possibility, but an eventuality.
Truth In The Shadows
Entertainment is winning out over truth. There is an overabundance of evidence supporting the existence of life after death for those who seek it. It can be found in past and present documents or experienced first-hand today. But it is overshadowed in the media. It is watered down and rehashed so much that at the end, all we end up with is the proverbial line "it remains a mystery."
But this is simply not true! It is NOT a mystery, and it is not hard to unbury answers that will bring you to even more evidence that you had imagined would exist. Just turn on your digital recorder and ask questions. On playback see if someone answered you. This is how the majority of people who become interested in ITC begin their work. And if that doesn't interest you or you don't have the success you are anticipating at first, then look into some of the many other ways in which spirit communication takes place.
One of the fundamental problems is that we've grown to like entertainment, and we're paying for it by allowing it to overshadow the truth. The media today is more inclined towards reporting on a possibly haunted house rather than telling us about documented evidence. Why don't we hear about the documented and archived evidence of intelligent communication across the veil? We need to demand better, we need to give attention to those that are serious in their work, we need to become involved ourselves. Truth is the right of all people, and the balance will soon be tipped in favor of truth over entertainment.
The Tip Of The Iceberg
ITC is only one of many ways in which people in spirit is able to communicate with us. One example is physical mediumship, which is still alive and well today, and still serves as one of the best sources of evidence supporting life after death. In physical mediumship circles that are developed, sitters have been able to experience the presence of a spirit communicator by speaking with them, touching them, or even seeing them in low levels of light. And this is not a recent development, it has been thoroughly documented for over 160 years by many people, common and distinguished alike!
ITC Bridge supports the field of physical mediumship and its growth, for it is a "sister" field working towards the same goal - to shatter misconceptions about life after death and to bring truth and knowledge to the public.
Time To Work Together
The day of the people has come, it is now time for us to work together. If you want to contribute, you can - regardless of who you are. Truth does not distinguish between social class, race, creed, or religion - and neither does death. If you want to discover the truth of life after death and come to experience it yourself, you have an obligation to share it - for truth cannot remain hidden. If you have knowledge about something that stands to improve the quality of life of your fellow brothers/sisters, shouldn't you share it? Forget about other people's opinions, stand up for what you know to be true.
Our Stand - Cooperation First, Evidence Second
Here at ITC Bridge, we believe in "Cooperation First, Evidence Second." Individuals have been producing scientific evidence for over 160 years to prove life after death, yet it is still referred to as a mystery by the general populace. The tide is changing, but it has not yet fully turned. In addition to focusing all intent on collecting evidence, perhaps a second approach needs to be considered by the people......
Let's place a higher priority on working together and see what evidence comes from it. What seems forgotten all too often is that this is a team effort, that every effort of every individual here is more than matched by our friends in spirit. Let's find out what can truly happen when we put the good of mankind first and allow our friends and colleagues in spirit to work with that unity of vibration. Let them provide the burden of proof, and let us unite. We provide the cooperation, they will provide the evidence. Combine both of these, and only time will tell how much of the truth we can bring to light. Remember, anything IS possible.
What are you waiting for? Let's Build a Bridge!

Jasper Rees
Adult Nonfiction ML419.R4 A3 2008
Summary: In the days before his fortieth birthday, London-based journalist Jasper Rees trades his pen for a French horn that has been gathering dust in the attic for more than twenty-two years, and, on a lark, plays it at the annual festival of the British Horn Society.Despite an embarrassingly poor performance, the experience inspires Rees to embark on a daunting, bizarre, and ultimately winning journey: to return to the festival in one year's time and play a Mozart concerto-solo-to a large paying audience.A Devil to Play is the true story of an unlikely midlife crisis spent conquering sixteen feet of wrapped brass tubing widely regarded as the most difficult instrument to master, as well as the most treacherous to play in public. It is the history of man's first musical instrument, a compelling journey that moves from the walls of Jericho to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, from the hunting fields of France to the heart of Hollywood. And it is the account of one man's mounting musical obsession, told with pitch-perfect wit and an undeniable charm-an endearing, inspiring tale of perseverance and achievement, relayed masterfully, one side-splittingly off-key note at a time.

I take glandular supplements about one month. In the beginning i consume only adrenal, thymus and orchic ones in the different products. But the result not so expressive as this product gave me. I think this because of spleen and pancreas tissues maybe. The spleen takes very important role in a growth of lymphocytes. And it takes to be proved this taking spleen glands supplement separately. And of course this product is highly recommended!

Another win. This is just a team on a roll right now. Maybe it's playing against two sub-75 win teams back to back to back, but this Mets team looks just about unstoppable. They can hit, they can pitch, they have a bullpen that doesn't give back leads, the defense hasn't let us down. This is a team that, through six games, has done everything you could hope for out of your favorite baseball team.
David Wright, quite frankly, has been unstoppable. 2 for 4 tonight with a double and a triple, scoring the Mets' first run. Also, a lot of people ragged on Wright's defense last year; well, through six games, he's shown great range and has not committed a single error. It's only six games in the season, and anybody can have a good six games, but I think we're more likely to see him continue this sort of performance than not.
Not to leave out any of the other Mets. Carlos Beltran, after starting out 0 for 9, is now hitting .292 now after going 2 for 3 today. Carlos Delgado went 2 for 3 with a double, continuing to hit for both average and power in the early going. Every Mets' position player had a hit except for Lo Duca. It's actually somewhat amazing they didn't have more runs, but the Nats were able to pitch out of jams.
And speaking of pitching out of jams…how about Pedro in the sixth? Bases loaded, no outs, and he keeps the Nats from scoring? Just another strong game for Pedro, and he still doesn't have his best stuff. He's still in "third game of spring training" mode. Imagine what happens when he's able to kick it up a notch. Also, it goes without saying, but there were no altercations between Pedro and Jose Guillen. Once the warnings were issued, I think the chances of that happening went away. It's for the best; it would have been nice if Pedro plunked Guillen, but at this point, the Mets can't afford to lose him for a start, either.
Some more strong bullpen work as well; other than Jorge Julio, the Mets' bullpen has been excellent this season. Imagine how much better it would be if Heath Bell were there instead of Julio. Oh well, they're still winning, and that's all that counts.
The Mets conclude the three game series with the Nationals tomorrow at RFK, with Victor Zambrano going against ol' rubber arm, Livan Hernandez. It's a 1:05 PM start, so for those of you at work, you might have to tape or Tivo this, or do what I did and get the MLB audio package, which will be handy for me for the few games that don't air on the Extra Innings package.

So the gender chart? What causes men to go spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on day cruisers? I see cars for sale on custo justo, custo justo, standvirtual where it is obvious that someone possessed put $30, 000 worth of parts and goodies within their cars.
How so?
First, let's take a glance at the conveniences of battery power electric cars:
1. EVs are simple to start compared to air powered cars. You never really "start" the vehicle. As long as your batteries are charged up, all the driver will is close the switch along with the car is on! No more accidentally grinding the starter or waiting for the car to heat. Turn the key; put it in gear, and go.
2. No longer tune-ups with an EV. You may need to change out the battery pack once in a while or replace a fuse, but the EV is incredibly low maintenance. Engine repairs are virtually not existent since electric motors are extremely reliable and long lasting. Older motors may require some use the brushes, but almost no, and hardly anything compared to the work required to keep an existing gas powered car going!
3. Cheap to own. At this time, electric cars are still expensive compared to gas powered cars. This has to do with the higher cost associated with relatively newer battery technological know-how, and the lack of real mass manufacturing of the components - economy involving scale. However, the EV costs several cents per mile to drive. The new Nissan Leaf bills about $0. 03 USD for any electricity! Try that which has a gas burner.
4. EVs are cool. At the present there are not many electric cars around. EVs are wide and varied, and still pretty fascinating. Maybe you can get a date over your EV!
Following, the environmental benefits:
1. Cleaner air. Note that we don't claim that EVs have zero environmental impacts. All vehicles and manufactured machines typically put some dent inside environmental fabric. However, EVs are generally cleaner than gas power rigs, the carbon argument notwithstanding. It is argued that if the source of electricity is coal fired power plants that you are just moving the pollution from one place to another. This can be shown to be correct in some cases, but overall it can be a lame attempt to resist improvement.
Number 1; there is the option to switch to cleaner energy sources including wind, solar, wave, geothermal and solar power. In fact, it would be a good thing if EVs could force this switch!
Number two; electric cars use energy better than gas powered cars. Gas powered cars waste about 2/3 within their fuel in excess heating… gone, bye bye, up and away. Just think that of every $1. 00 you invest the gas tank, only $0. 33 goes towards actually moving you towards your destination! Electric cars use the majority their energy to move forward to where they are going. What a concept! Take a look at any electric car right now, they carry the electrical power equivalent of like 1 gallon associated with gasoline, but are doing the same job on most occasions. There is something you should not miss:
So the gender chart? What causes men to go spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on day cruisers? I see cars for sale on custo justo, custo justo, standvirtual where it is obvious that someone possessed put $30, 000 worth of parts and goodies within their cars.

Bush on Intermarriage
In his (presumably) last trip to the Middle East as president, Pres. Bush joined in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Israel. But he also, as Sheryl Gay Stolberg writes in the New York Times, "received something else: a little lesson in cultural awareness."
In a museum garden, where Pres. Bush and his wife Laura were speaking with a group of a dozen young people selected by the American Embassy, he asked if Jews and Arabs dated one another, or went to dances:

Economic properties of wind power: A European assessment
AbstractWe investigate the concomitance of intermittent wind powered generation (WPG) with load to assess its system value as the cost of replacing its output, hour by hour, using more intensively thermal technologies. The difference with its actual cost defines a social cost of wind power which is further divided into a technological and an adequacy component. Whereas the former may become negligible once thermal technologies pay for carbon emissions, the latter is a lower bound on WPG structural weakness w.r.t. thermal technologies. We apply our procedure to Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Portugal and Ireland using hourly load and WPG data over several years. Our empirical findings show that there is a grain of truth in both the pros and the cons of wind power. The system value of WPG varies from three quarters of the equivalent thermal cost of electricity (on a yearly basis) but the incompressible adequacy cost represents a premium over the cost of serving yearly load in a system ranging around one-fifth.

Language and wine are related. One goes into the mouth. The other comes out of it. When you learn about wine, you learn a language. If you speak about wine in numerical terms, you experience wine as a quantity. If you speak about wine in conceptual terms, you experience wine as an idea. If you speak about wine in terms of choices and emotions, you experience wine the way you experience life.
In the late 1970s, when I first started drinking good wines, I was introduced to a businessman in San Francisco named Phillip Sammartano. Mr. Sammartano was known in and around the Bay Area for having a remarkable wine cellar. (These days, anyone with money can buy a remarkable wine cellar. In those days, buying class with money was not so easy. You had to know what you were doing.) The day we met, I told Mr. Sammartano that I loved drinking wine but felt like I was missing something. Mr. Sammartano asked me what I thought I was missing. I said I didn't think I knew enough about wine to know what I was missing.
Mr. Sammartano said to keep drinking. "You're not missing anything," he said. "You just think you are."
I nodded my head like I knew what he meant, but I didn't.
Mr. Sammartano saw right through me. "The thing to remember about wine," he said, "is that you don't have to think about it to enjoy it."
"Okay," I said. I still had no idea what he meant.
"Have you meditated?" he said. "Ever done any trance work? Taken any drugs?"
I told Mr. Sammartano I'd taken some drugs.
"Then you know," he said.
"I do?" I said.
"When you got high," he said, "what did you do with your thoughts?"
"Mostly I just let them happen," I said.
"Did you try to have them?" he said.
"No," I said.
"Did you try to get rid of them?" he said.
"No," I said.
"That's how you want to approach wine," he said. "You don't need to know a lot about wine to appreciate it. Just drink it and let it work on you. If it makes you happy, laugh. If it makes you sad, cry. If it makes you think, follow your thoughts."
"Excuse me," I said, "but didn't you just say I didn't have to think?"
"About wine," said Mr. Sammartano. "Nobody can stop thinking. But when you drink wine, the less you think about it, the better. Stop trying to be an expert. Keep your brain away from the wine. Thinking about wine can tie you in knots. It's unhealthy."
Over the years, I've given a lot of thought to what Mr. Sammartano said. Each time I open a magazine and read about a wine that offers "aromas of white peaches, nuanced with hints of blackstrap molasses and overripe elderberries" I remember Mr. Sammartano's advice. Each time I see a wine described as "a solid 92+, with potential to the mid-nineties, or higher" I feel lucky to have met him when I did. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with using food words or numbers to discuss wine. Everyone-myself included-does it. It's like a code the wine world uses to classify and compare what we drink. All I'm saying is that there's more to it than that. The way you talk about wine is the way you experience it. Some people say wine tastes like food. Other people drink by the numbers. I like living wines. That's why I use experiences to talk about them.
Which brings us to the 2005 Sutcliffe Vineyards Syrah.
Sutcliffe Vineyards is in McElmo Canyon, Colorado. McElmo Canyon is twenty minutes southwest of Cortez, Colorado, and a half hour north of the Four Corners. McElmo Canyon is a farming community that was homesteaded by white people during the 1880s. Apricots, hay, melons, and peaches are the main crops. Before white people came to McElmo Canyon, the Navajo and Ute tribes farmed and hunted there. Sutcliffe Vineyards is on the north bank of McElmo Creek, facing the Sleeping Ute Mountain. Battle Rock, the site of the last battle between the Navajo and the Utes, is directly west of the vineyard. Legend has it that, during the last battle, a band of Utes cornered a group of Navajo women and children at the top of Battle Rock. The Utes backed the women and children to the edge of the cliff that now overlooks Sutcliffe Vineyards. Rather than submit to the Utes, the women and children jumped.
In the glass, the 2005 Sutcliffe Syrah comes right at you. Very few wines can pull off this kind of aggressive behavior. The 2005 Sutcliffe Syrah is the only one I've tasted that manages to agitate you and soothe you at the same time.
Syrah is a grape that has been known to produce wines of passion. Like crimes of passion, wines of passion are difficult to anticipate and even more difficult to control. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, French winemakers use the traditional cépage of approximately one-third Grenache, one-third Mouvèrdre, and one-third Syrah to temper the nature of the Syrah grape. Sutcliffe Vineyards' Syrah is one hundred percent Syrah, and I think I know why. In McElmo Canyon, the combination of intense heat, cool evenings, and violent thunderstorms pulls the grapes in different directions. Instead of getting tempered by other grapes, the Syrah gets tempered by the elements.
More information about Sutcliffe Vineyards can be found at sutcliffewines.com. The stunning pictures on the website make the vineyard look like it's too good to be true, but when you're there, the vineyard not only looks like its pictures, it makes you feel as good as it looks. There used to be many places like that. Now they're hard to find.
The 2005 Sutcliffe Vineyards Syrah is a wine with a soul. It is a living wine first and a limited production Syrah from Colorado with the potential to become a cult wine second. John and Emily Sutcliffe, who own Sutcliffe Vineyards, have a great deal to do with the character of this wine, but so does McElmo Canyon. The landscape has something to say. It speaks the language of loss, redemption, sorrow, and truth. How could the wine say anything less?

The Dalai Lama and his love for ''dal-roti''
Dharamsala, Jun 3 (PTI) Fifty-three years after he made India his second home, the Dalai Lama has developed a taste for ''dal-roti'' and has imbibed the virtues of secularism.
Recalling his stay here ever since fleeing his homeland in 1959, the Tibetan spiritual leader said the "biggest thing" that he had learnt after coming to India was "how not to be a hypocrite".
The Nobel prize winner said he used to be an active member of the Chinese Communist Party from 1951-59 in Tibet and "like others I also honed my talent in hypocrisy. But this vice ended only when I came to India".
After coming to India and staying here for so long, he said, had "learnt so many things from Indian culture and religion".
One of the things which he highlights is developing the taste for north India''s staple food ''dal-roti''.
"After living in India for over 50 years, I have developed great taste for Indian food like dal-roti. Whenever I get an opportunity I taste this great Indian dish," he told PTI here.
The exiled leader who, along with thousands of Tibetans, has made Dharamsala their home, described India as a seat of learning and frequently referred to the ancient Nalanda university in Bihar, terming it as the repository of Buddhism.
"Recently when I had gone to Patna to inaugurate a park named after Lord Buddha, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had told me that because of the blessing of Buddha and teachings of Buddhism, Bihar is marching on the path of development today.
"I told him (Nitish Kumar) that, Bihar actually has been the birth place of Buddhism and gave this great religion to the entire world," he said.
The Dalai Lama said India has always been sympathetic to the cause of exiled Tibetans and described it as the guru and the latter as the ''chela'' (disciple). .

It's no secret that she looks beyond amazing no matter what she wears, but have you ever noticed Kate Middleton's ability to turn a coat into a major fashion statement? Yes, a coat. As in outerwear. As in the thing most of us throw over our clothes for the sake of staying warm -- not in the hopes of being the most stylish chick on the block.
Kate's coats are just as noteworthy as her fabulous dresses -- and often times they turn people's heads even more.

PRESTON, Minn. (KTTC) -- Tuesday marked the first court appearance in Fillmore County in the case of Wilbur Schmoll on animal cruelty charges.
Authorities seized 55 horses and donkeys back on November 25 from Schmoll's farm.
"I was not doing anything that I was ashamed of. I didn't try to hide nothing from nobody," he explained the following week.
Six of the animals had to be euthanized, the other were being cared for in Zimmerman. "They had to be blanketed, they had to be segregated they have to be fed individually," said Minnesota Hooved Animal rescue Director Drew Fitzpatrick.
On Tuesday, Schmoll appeared in Fillmore County Court before Judge Robert Benson who was appearing via camera from Caledonia where he was holding court for the day. Appearing alone, Schmoll opted to apply for a court appointed attorney.
The okay was given by Judge Benson who explained Schmoll needed to apply for one after the hearing.
When asked to comment, Schmoll declined. "I ain't even talking to you, I should've run you off the other day. I've got nothing to say to you because you'll just twist it around to use against me anyhow," he said while leaving the courthouse.
Judge Benson sent Schmoll on his way. Schmoll has been instructed to not own any domestic animals except for his two dogs and he must be on good behavior.
Schmoll was also given the option of an unconditional bail set at $3000. That amount means that if Schmoll would like to own animals in the meantime or avoid any of the conditions brought before him by Judge Benson, that money would be the cost for that right.
Schmoll's next court appearance is set for February 12th at 11 a.m.

It's not really hypocritical, because a druid who tries to DPS out of cat form won't do squat. And a druid who tries to tank out of bear form will get squashed. You can heal just fine without tree form.
Personally, I'd rather they made moonkin form a cooldown as well. It's not necessary for DPSing as Balance, same as tree isn't necessary for Resto.

"Identify and evaluate the impact of information and communications technology in one marketing function" - Customer Service
Extracts from this essay...
"Identify and evaluate the impact of information and communications technology in one marketing function" - Customer Service Introduction The rapid growth of information and communications technology (ICT) in the last two decades has affected business organisations profoundly. The shift from production-centric to customer-centric organisations has lead to increased focus on customer service and the use of technology in the area. This essay sets out to identify the impacts of ICT on customer service by first briefly revisiting the concept of customer service. The benefits of ICT are then highlighted by three main drivers of service encounter satisfaction, along with some industry examples. Finally a discussion is raised with regards to potential problems and challenges organizations face in successful implementation of the technology. Customer Service Revisited The major characteristics of services have been summarised by Lewis (1989, pp.4) as "intangibility, heterogeneity, perishability and inseparability of production and consumption"- where "production" in services refer to "performance". Due to the inseparability of production and consumption, both buyer and seller (i.e. customer and organisation/employee) interactions influences the performance process and the quality of the service provided (Lewis, 1989). The service encounter, according to Lewis (1989, pp.4), is the "direct interaction between... [an]...organisation's employees and its customers / clients". From the customer's point of perspective, the encounter itself is often the service in most situations (Bitner, 1990), cited in (Bitner, Brown & Meuter, 2000).
Customers are also given customised suggestions or advice in the form of recommendations based on their purchase history. FedEx, the shipping company, also provides its customers with SST opportunities. From order-taking to tracking and billing, every stage of the shipping process can be completed online (Bitner et al., 2000). The advantages are obvious: the SSTs can be accessed and transactions completed at anytime and anywhere the customers desire (Bitner et al., 2000), as these SSTs represent a "store that never closes" (Ritzer & Stillman, 2001). Effective Service Recovery Even with improved delivery and offerings, service encounters will never be totally successful (Bitner et al., 2000; Brown, 1997). Brown (1997) suggests that recovering from service failures, if conducted properly, strengthens customer loyalty, improves profitability and corrects weak links in processes. However, if the recovery is poorly handled, it can damage customer relationships, negative word of mouth, contribute to employee dissatisfaction and lowered profits. Studies by Johnson (1995) cited in (Bitner et al., 2000) have shown that successful service recoveries can lead directly to customer satisfaction, which in turn acts to retain the customer. Brown (1997) claims that the use of technology in service recovery can empower employees and customers. Technology can often provide frontline employees with the means to recover on the customers' behalf quicker, and often with fewer colleagues involved.
With new technology emerging everyday, there is a need for organisations to constantly train employees, especially those with service responsibilities, to upgrade their IT skills. Technical literacy of frontline employees is crucial to ensure smooth usage of software applications. Companies also need to understand the current technology landscape in context of their industry to be able to choose the most appropriate technology tools to meet challenges. All of these activities may result in a big strain on funds. Services performed over the Internet may also be subjected to risks of hackers hijacking and stealing sensitive material. The Internet's greatest openness and ubiquity are also its greatest weaknesses. Companies need to assure customers that safety measures are in place before customers will feel ready to perform online transactions. The success of technology is therefore, also heavily dependent on user acceptance. According to Parasuraman, (2004), the "techno-readiness" of consumers refers to the measure of mental readiness to embrace technology. Without a proper understanding of the techno-readiness of its customer base, companies may just find themselves investing heavily in facilities that may be under-utilised. Conclusion This essay has shown why organisations need to focus on customer service as a source of competitive advantage, and technology is one of the major determinants in improving service quality. From the impacts identified, the integration and implementation of technology in customer service areas of a business are massively beneficial. Yet at the same time, organisations should be aware of the consequences that the lack of proper management of ICT can have.

The S4's 3.0-liter supercharged V6 churns out 333 horsepower and 325
pound-feet of torque and is matched to a close-ratio six-speed transmission
with a dual mass flywheel, which then routes the grunt to a Quattro sports
differential, making for quite an entertaining drive

Before hitting the road, the engine placements of both competing sedans are
compared against segment contemporaries such the Cadillac ATS & BMW's 335i.
Why? Because while both competitors are AWD, they start life as FWD. As a
result, both vehicles have unusual engine placements. A mix of limit
testing & canyon carving follows as Jonny provides insight on both cars,
examining everything from driving impressions to interior ergonomics. Does

Renal Disease in cats
If your cat is losing weight, constantly suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, or if you notice blood in your cat's urine, do not ignore the symptoms because he may be developing a renal condition.
The bean shaped kidney is a very important organ in your cat's little body doing a serious job of removing toxins from the blood stream and regulating fluids. But when these kidneys develop an infection, it slowly affects this renal function resulting in a toxin buildup in the blood, leading to serious complications.
Renal disease in cats could be acute or chronic. Some kidney problems occur suddenly while other chronic problems develop slowly over a period of time. Chronic renal disease is asymptomatic and starts showing symptoms only after majority of the kidney is damaged. Acute kidney conditions should be treated with the help of veterinary care and diet management.
The causes for renal malfunction could be any of the following: High blood pressure, cancer or more importantly any kind of infection, trauma, stones, and reduced blood flow to the kidneys. Another common cause for feline renal disease would be the exposure to poisons – especially anti-freeze toxicity.
Early detection is a key for a successful outcome, which is why every pet parent should be aware of the common symptoms of feline renal disease.
Symptoms of Renal Disease
- 1. Loss of appetite and weight loss
- 2. Vomiting and diarrhea
- 3. Lethargy
- 4. Mouth ulcers and bad breath
- 5. Poor coat
- 6. Constipation
- 7. Bloody or cloudy urine
- 8. Lack of balance or acting drunk
- 9. Abnormal urinating patterns
- 10. Aversion towards litter box
How can you help your cat with renal disease?
Cats are sensitive creatures with remarkable personalities. It can be very frustrating for you as a pet parent to watch your pet go through a renal disease. If it is an acute condition, there are a few things you can do to help your special friend:
- 1. Provide your cat with specially prescribed diets with low proteins and phosphorus - recommended by the veterinarian for a speedy recovery.
- 2. Provide supplements with probiotics to reduce toxin build ups and allow smooth blood flow.
- 3. Be sure to follow a thorough medical plan with regular visits to the veterinarian, blood tests and prescribed medications.
- 4. Provide a lot of fresh clean water for your cat to flush away the toxins and avoid dehydration.
- 5. Create a calm environment to minimize stress.
Cats that are prone for renal diseases are senior cats, cats born with genetic problems, certain breeds like Persian and outdoor cats. Senior cats become vulnerable due to age and poor immunity. Outdoor cats commonly develop acute renal problems due to exposure of toxins like anti-freeze.
It takes a great deal of love and commitment to take care of a pet with special needs. Make sure you stay strong and committed to support your special friend!

In the NHL, there are players who are natural goal scorers and playmakers. A handful of those players are the "superstars" of the league. These are the individuals who are the faces of their respective franchises and often get credit for a win and blamed for a loss.
Then there are the players who do the dirty work. They work hard at practices and really grind it out during games. They will always do the little things right, a majority of them not ever showing up on a stat sheet.
Boston Bruins' center Gregory Campbell is one of those players.
Campbell, who came over in a trade with Nathan Horton, played his first seven seasons with the Florida Panthers. He was brought in to assume the role of fourth-line center, a role that he had not been accustomed to before arriving in Boston. He was thought to be considered the "add-in" in the trade that also included Dennis Wideman and a couple of draft picks. His value was underestimated.
Campbell is one of the better penalty killers in the league who can also provide a scoring touch. He is the type of player who will stick up for himself and his teammates by bringing a physical presence. In 2010-11, Campbell and fellow linemate Shawn Thornton became the first Bruins' teammates since Cam Neely and Nevin Markwart (1986-1987) to record double-digit goals and fights in one season. Campbell finished with 13 goals and 11 fighting majors.
He has posted a modest 6-7-13 scoring line so far this season. He is also among the team leaders in blocked shots. He will not only block a shot, but sacrifice his body in doing so. There is nothing about his game that is fancy or pretty. All he does is get the job done the most efficient way possible.
The type of style that Campbell plays sets the tone for the rest of the team. Once the Bruins score a goal, you will see Campbell's line go out on to the ice for the ensuing shift in order to keep the energy in their favor.
Campbell is in the final year of his contract with the Bruins. He should have teams interested in him if he does hit free agency. The question then becomes how will he be utilized if he does go to another team? For now, the Bruins will need him down the stretch if they want to make another run for the Cup.

MICHAEL LOHAN poses for the first ever pictures of his newborn son with KATE MAJOR… and we have to admit, they're pretty adorable.
We finally see Lindsay Lohan's youngest paternal half-sibling, Landon Major Lohan, now that his first photos have been sold surfaced online.
In the exclusive pictures, the lucky newborn was cuddled and kissed by his proud parents, Lindsay's dead beat estranged dad Michael Lohan (who will soon become an author) and his fiance, Kate Major. We can also see that just like his famous sister, he has a head full of medium blonde locks.
Given Michael's love for the spotlight, we can probably expect more photos of the tiny Lohan as he grows up in the weeks to come. So stay tuned!

We all have had the experience: We wake up in the morning and we are really feeling that workout from the previous day, or even two or three days before. That pain is known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), which is a really fancy name for "Ouch, I kicked my own butt!"
If you've been exercising for a while, that pain can send you the message that you are really bringing it. If you're new to exercise, though, you may be tempted to that as an excuse to put off exercising for a good long while. Don't. No excuses.
"No pain, no gain" is not the greatest messaging: Sure, you want to push yourself in an effort to get stronger, but push too far and you run the risk of injury. So what do you do if you get hit with DOMS? Here are some ideas:
If you think you've injured yourself -- if the area is swollen, discolored and/or sensitive to the touch -- you may be suffering from a strain or a sprain. Check with your doctor. They can diagnose a strain (the over-stretching or tearing of a muscle), a sprain (the over-stretching or tear of a tendon) or even a stress fracture in the bone. If the doctor finds a strain or a sprain, they will probably suggest that you use RICE to help heal:
Be smart: Follow the RICE plan for a few days and you will be up and at it again. If you find you keep injuring the same area, take a good long look at how you are training that particular area, and maybe, just maybe, make a few changes. If you have any thoughts about injuries or any questions about exercise or fitness, shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. And make sure you check out the web site, The Fitness Guru, for daily tips and ideas. Rock on!
Michael Feigin, MS, CSCS, is the owner of The Fitness Guru, a DUMBO, Brooklyn-based health and fitness company. For the last 25 years, Michael has helped thousands of New Yorkers (and folks from other parts of the world) achieve their health and fitness dreams.

Saturday's UFC on Fuel TV 2: Gustafsson vs. Silva marked the UFC's second live event on Fuel TV, drawing an average audience of 197,000 viewers.
That's down slightly from the promotion's premier live event on the network, UFC on Fuel TV 1: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger. UFC on Fuel TV 1 drew an average audience of 217,000 viewers.
More MMA
While these numbers are modest compared to many networks, Fuel TV executives have been ecstatic with the TV ratings that these shows and other UFC programming has drawn on the network. For Fuel TV, these numbers represent a solid increase over past programming, prior to the UFC.
UFC on Fuel TV 2 featured the further ascension of Alexander Gustafsson up the light heavyweight ranks. He had to go to a decision for the first time in his career, but did enough to win a unanimous decision over one his toughest opponents in Thiago Silva.
For more UFC News and UFC Rumors, follow MMAWeekly.com on Twitter and Facebook.
The rating might go up if FOX can get Fuel TV carried in more areas and by providers such as comcast. I for one hate missing great fights. I would hope that they could at least stream the fights on fuel.tv given the limited television coverage.
"Slip dip"?
Haha, ya I was also wondering wtf? lol.
That's what caught my eye too. lol.
Of course the ratings are bad, nobody gets FUEL!!
Yeah, it's really too bad this card was not on Fox. This was one of the most exciting cards I've seen in a while. The first two fights really set the tone for what MMA is all about and represented fights that would compel a casual fan to pay attention.
I hope White gave a huge bonus to Picket/Page and Johnson/MaGuire above and beyond the fight of the night and sub bonus.
I had to call my cable Co. and pay extra for that Chanel (fuel) and a few others that I'll never watch. I see why it didn't get great ratings
I'm sure the UFC is happy with this: despite the low ratings its STILL beating Bellator championship fights!
Think more had to do with the show airing live in the middle of the afternoon versus in a normal 7/8 PM timeslot
I agree that had a lot to do with it. I was working, Couldn't have caught it live. DVR yes. But I can't rationalize paying extra monthly for something that happens a few times a year. If the shows were monthly then yeah, but even PPV fights I go to places like Dave and Busters, pay ten buck watch the fights and even with beers and food don't spend over thirty bucks. For the majority of fans this is the case, no point in buying it for a couple of fights.

Scammed in Seattle
A woman reported that her identity was stolen after discovering a $1,059 purchase at a Macy's department store in Seattle. The 43-year-old Upper West Side woman reported to police Nov. 11 that she was in Seattle in August, but still had her Macy's credit card despite the Oct. 31 purchase in her name. Two other credit card accounts—Victoria's Secret and New York & Company—were also opened in her name.

Choosing bleached knots for your lace front wig is a good choice, but first let me explain what it is if you are still not sure.
This is probably something that sounds very confusing to most people because it isn't a term that you hear or read about every day. But keep reading and I will explain to you what it means when someone tells you that a wig has bleached knots.
Basically, when a lace front of full lace wig is made, the hair is hand tied in knots. Sometimes this could look a little less natural than you'd want it to. When those knots are bleached to a lighter color it tends to look a lot more natural and most wig stores have started bleaching the knots by default. So, if you don't want it done, you need to specify that when you order your wig.
If you want the hair to appear as if it's growing from your scalp then the best thing to do is getting your wig with bleached knots. They won't be completely invisible, but someone will need to be extremely close and examining your hair to see the tiny knots.
With a front lace wig, the front will be bleached but if you bought a full lace wig then the knots all around the wig will be bleached. This is done because with a full lace wig you are able to wear your hair in a ponytail and it should look natural at the back too.
The base of your wig plays an important role when it comes to bleached knots, because it won't look good on just anything. It's best to have your wig made with French lace or monofilament, which will ensure your bleached knots look exactly the way they should.
If you are still not sure what this all means or can't seem to picture how it will look, go down to a wig store and ask them to show you what a wig with bleached knots look like.

'...Women artists pay a social tax for their professional achievements that men do not. Women musicians cannot promote themselves in the same way that men do without facing negative consequences in the way they are perceived personally. This is particularly problematic for performing artists, who must cultivate personal connections and an enthusiastic fan base (read: people who like you) in order to survive. Women find themselves in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.'
" I had begun to think my arrangments were not worth much, as no one ever wanted to pay for them…But the work paid off in the long run. Whenever musicians listened to the band they would ask who made a certain arrangement. Nearly always it was one of mine."
" Already I had lost like 60 pounds then, I was exercising everyday…got down to a size 12…I got to Hollywood and they were like, 'How do you feel being the big girl?' And I was like, 'Who are they talking to?' I literally looked around like this is normal, this is fine, this is average, where I come from it's totally fine, so I couldn't understand."
'The music scene as it exists in these spaces isn't very accepting of women…'
…or feminists, or people who just like what they like but don't have the liner notes memorized. This Pitchfork list is no exception and no surprise, but it is a sad reminder that 15 years may have passed, but the scene has stayed pretty much the same.

I was spreading this before, but I think I was wrong about the "cross-server" part. I thought that, given the fact a character can freely and easily travel to any server, the guilds would be cross-server.
It was recently revealed that, in GW2, each account will have a "home server", and only be able to fight for that server in the WvWvW (World PvP) battles (although characters should still be able to easily, quickly, and freely visit any server they want, and do any PvE content there). This server limitation seems to point that a player can only be part of guilds in a single server, though I haven't seen specific details yet.
The bit about players being able to be a part of as many guilds as they want is true and confirmed, though. Also, GW2 seems to be aiming at having more players per server than WoW, and also won't have factions dividing server populations into smaller communitites, so it should be way easier to find one or more nice, focused guilds that match with what the player wants to do.
