The rivalry is especially hot with Rob and Dave, Rob being the Yankees fan and Dave being the BoSox guy. Lots of trash talking going back and forth for a while there, but all in good fun. So far...

Hey there gang, welcome back! Man, it has just been one of those stretches where nothing seems to be going right for me. The last few weeks I've been dealing with an ailing pet, who is looking much better thankfully. Now my neck has decided to give me a lesson in pain, to the point that I am looking...

Good morning all. Sorry if I'm later than usual with your morning news. The past few days my Cable connection has been very slow and the folks at RoadRunner say everything looks good. While it may look good on their end, I'm slogging along at Dialup 5x speeds. Hopefully I can make enough noise...

While those virtues hold true, I never expected to be dodging hurricanes and tornadoes on a regular basis. Mother Nature is active...

Good morning everyone. I know I said I would see you next week, but I wanted to stop by and give you another news update. We also wanted to ask that we all take a moment to honor our armed forces and recognize the hard work and sacrifices they've made since 9/11. It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since that day...

A tarnished reputation is often the hardest thing to overcome in any business. It is much easier for a company to earn a bad reputation than it is to gain the consumer's faith in any given product. Over the years, ATi struggled to overcome a reputation for having sub-par drivers. This impression seemed to grab hold...
