The Lady Loves Cigars
India Allen, the 1988 Playboy Playmate of the Year, is looking for a breakthrough movie on her terms.

Ron Perelman, Spring 95

The hair is alluringly dark, the face stunningly beautiful, the body long and lithely sensual, the legs a seemingly endless expanse of ivory, the eyes a bewitchingly intelligent brown.
India Allen--1988 Playboy Playmate of the Year; sex-symbol actress and producer of erotic movies; daughter of an Anglican minister; dedicated churchgoer and faithful volunteer; five-foot-eleven-inch, 134-pound, 37-25-35 beauty--exudes the essence of modern femininity: sexuality and seductiveness wrapped around a core of independence and individuality. For India, business is definitely business, but men are also most certainly men. Her words, her smile, her laugh, the amorous twinkle in those eyes leave no doubt that what she enjoys, above all, is the excitement of being a woman.
So what's that cigar doing in her mouth?
"I love cigars," says the 29-year-old resident of Pacific Grove, California. "I've been smoking them for eight years. I love them for the same reason I love being an Episcopalian: the tradition and the ritual. I love the company it puts me in. And I also love the smell of a cigar, the smell of fine tobacco, because I grew up around it. And the smell of rich leather, like in a man's library. That's my most treasured memory of growing up: the smell of leather, horses and tobacco."
Indie ("All my friends call me Indie; you can call me Indie") grew up in the South--Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina--but her accent and manner, her relaxed confidence and easygoing extroversion, are pure California. She moved with her family (her father is of English extraction, her mother Irish and Native American) to the Monterey Peninsula, on the cutting edge of the Pacific, when she was 12. She left for college, career, marriage and divorce but recently returned with her five-year old daughter to live in an aqua-and-white Victorian house in that part of the world whose inhabitants have ranged from John Steinbeck to Clint Eastwood. Her parents and family friends live nearby. Her dad heads a congregation; her godfather is chief of police down the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
She is sitting at a table in Pasta Mia, a restaurant on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove that the peninsula's residents say serves the best pasta in the region. She will finish every last bite of the magnificent agnolotti con pollo (half-moon pasta stuffed with pesto in lemon-zest cream sauce with chicken and sun-dried tomatoes) that has been placed before her, but she will do so very slowly. For a new acquaintance, it becomes clear almost immediately that more than just about anything--there is perhaps one exception--Indie loves to talk. She is a born storyteller, never at a loss for words, many of them passionate. She will talk about Playboy, and modeling, and posing in the nude, and men--their pluses and minuses--and sex, and feminism, and movies, and religion and her conservative politics. And for the moment, about cigars.
Indeed, if India Allen were herself a cigar, she would be the top of the line: a Cuban double corona, elongated and slender, luscious and strong, with an intense flavor of spice. Indie is not your run-of-the-mill sex goddess: she most definitely undresses to a different drummer.
"All the men in my life, all the ones I admire or desire, all the ones I respect, smoke cigars," she says after washing down a saucy agnolotto with a sip of iced tea. "I'm sure that's how I got into it. Actually, when I was about 20 I started by smoking a pipe. My mom smokes a pipe. As a child, I would sit at my mother's feet while she smoked, and she would rub my head. It was one of my favorite things. My dad and my godfather would be sitting out on the porch smoking their cigars, and I always wanted to go out there, hear what they were talking about, be out there in the middle of it all. So now, my dad and my godfather and I get together about once a week and we light up our cigars."
Indie's first cigars were Ashton Coronas. These days, she says, "My taste has gotten a little more sophisticated, but the Ashtons are still very reliable. I like the Davidoff No. 3 a lot and also the No. 1s, the big ones. Occasionally I go for the Macanudo Maduros. But my favorite cigar is the Cohiba Robusto. I like the size, the draw, the flavor--everything!" Indie also enjoys dipping her cigars in Port. "It's a very British thing to do," she says. "I picked it up from my dad."

Advanced partner training at Indextools
Just came from Budapest, Hungary, with my friend Olafur from MBL. We did a two day advanced course in web analytics, with focus on Yahoo's Indextools. The course was designed to help us gain more skills in Web Analytics and to fully utilize the tool. We did that and more, we had a great tutor Mihaela Popa and Charlie Holbech and his team made us feel at home. Great stuff, or as Dennis Mortensen would say, SUPER!

Not all cleansing conditioners are created equally, find the best co-wash for your coils.
Many coily haired women have noticed that after shampooing their hair they are left with dry, tangled, frizzy tresses and curls that have to be coaxed back to life. If you're that curly debating between dirty or moisturized hair then there is a solution- cleansing conditioners.
A cleansing conditioner is exactly what the name implies, a conditioner which has the ability to cleanse the scalp and hair. But what makes them a favorite of many coily haired naturals is the fact that they can effectively clean the hair without stripping it like traditional shampoos. But not all cleansing conditioners are created equally and some cleanse and moisturize more effectively than others. So to find out what conditioners are raved about read on for our top picks.
As I Am Coconut CoWash Cleansing Conditioner, $8
Many ladies have flocked to the forums to rave about this conditioner and its ability to cleanse thoroughly. Because of a unique blend of tangerine, coconut and castor oil as well saw palmetto and phytosetrols the cream lifts the dirt from the scalp whilst leaving behind the natural oils your hair needs to remain moisturized and prevent frizz. This product is great for Type 4 curlies.

text: L'dor vador -- from generation to generation -- has long been a guiding maxim for the Jewish people. Jews pass our traditions from parents to children, fathers and mothers to sons and daughters. Queerness (the quality of not being heteronormatively straight) reconstructs family and gender identities. It revises and transforms ritual obligations. It ignores the physical body as it has been customarily understood and pays attention to it in unprecedented ways. Queerness creates new societal roles to be fulfilled and also calls many traditional roles into question. We'll look at some ancient and contemporary texts and consider the ways in which Judaism stays the same and the ways in which it is shaken up by the recognition and inclusion of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) Jews. No promises that this conversation won't confuse, trouble, or newly illuminate your thinking. (In fact, that would be such a disappointment!) It will invite everyone to a richer understanding of holiness and peoplehood, that's guaranteed.

Technique: Reflowing Xbox 360 Motherboard
Reflow the solder on your Xbox 360's motherboard.
- Author: Andrew Bookholt
- Difficulty: Difficult
Use this guide to reflow the solder on the chips that usually cause the Xbox 360 to have a Red Ring of Death (RROD) failure. You'll need the high temperature output of a heat gun to accomplish the reflow.
Reflowing the motherboard of your Xbox 360 allows the solder balls located beneath the CPU, GPU, RAM, and other chips to reconnect with their contacts on the motherboard. To safeguard against future failure, we strongly recommend installing our Red Ring of Death Fix Kit after completing the reflow.

Sections (continued)

- Motherboard 3 steps
- Reflowing Xbox 360 Motherboard 3 steps
Edit Step 2 — Bottom Vent ¶
Stand the console vertically with the bottom edge facing up.
Throughout the following opening procedure, the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool can be used in place of a spudger.
Insert the flat end of a spudger or the edge of an Xbox 360 opening tool into the small gap at the front edge of the bottom vent.
Pry the front edge of the bottom vent away from the faceplate.
Edit Step 3 ¶
In the next few steps, you will use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to release the clips along the left and right sides of the bottom vent. Their locations are highlighted in red.
You will insert the tool into the holes molded into the white plastic side case pieces.
Edit Step 8 — Faceplate ¶
Insert the edge of a spudger between the faceplate and the outer casing near the power button.
Run your spudger along the edge of the faceplate to release the clips securing it to the front of the console.
You may also accomplish this task by using the edge of the Xbox 360 opening tool, but it may scratch the plastic case.
Alternatively, you can use your hands to carefully pull the faceplate away from the Xbox.
Edit Step 18 ¶
The upper and lower cases are attached via several latches, located in the front and back of the console. These latches must be disengaged to separate the upper case from the console.
Use the flat end of a spudger to release the following latches:
Above the front-facing USB ports.
Beneath the front-facing USB ports.
Above the Memory Unit slots.
Edit Step 23 ¶
While pushing the upper and lower cases apart, use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to push the long clip highlighted in red toward the center of the 360.
The clip should release, leaving the clips near the power connector as the only thing holding the upper and lower cases together.
Edit Step 26 — Eject Button ¶
Use the tip of a spudger to release the clip securing the eject button to the metal casing.
Insert the flat end of a spudger between the eject button and the optical drive.
Pry the eject button off its retaining posts and remove it from the 360.
This can also be accomplished using an Xbox 360 opening tool.
Edit Step 33 — Cooling Fan Duct ¶
Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small rectangular opening on the top of the cooling fan duct.
Carefully release the fan duct retaining clip and remove the fan duct from the Xbox.
The clip can alternatively be released using the metal finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool.
Edit Step 39 ¶
Remove the following screws securing the motherboard to the metal casing:
Nine gold 11 mm T10 Torx screws.
Eight black 5.6 mm T8 Torx screws.
If you are reassembling your Xbox 360 after installing the Red Ring of Death Fix Kit, the eight T8 Torx screws circled in orange are not reused.
Edit Step 40 ¶
Turn the Xbox over, being careful not to let the motherboard fall out of the chassis.
Lift the motherboard assembly from its front edge.
Be careful not to damage the sockets as you rotate the motherboard away from the metal casing.
Remove the motherboard assembly from the metal casing.
Edit Step 42 ¶
Insert your screwdriver parallel to the motherboard between the X clamp and its retaining post.
Twist the screwdriver to fully release the X clamp from its retaining post.
Repeat this process for all four corners of the X clamp.
When removing the last corner of the X clamp and holding the motherboard upside down, be sure to catch the GPU heat sink to avoid damage from it falling.
Edit Step 43 ¶
To reinstall the X clamp, first start by attaching two corners to the posts on the heat sink.
While holding the third arm of the X clamp down against the post attached to the heat sink, use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the X clamp away from the heat sink post.
As you pry, press down on the arm of the X clamp until you "walk" it down into the retaining groove cut into the post attached to the heat sink.
Repeat this process for the fourth arm of the X clamp.
Edit Step 44 ¶
Remove the GPU heat sink.
Before reinstalling the GPU heat sink, be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste.
If you need to mount the heat sink back onto the motherboard, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy.
Edit Step 45 — Motherboard ¶
Insert the tip of a small flathead screwdriver between the X clamp and its retaining post on the heat sink.
Pry the X clamp away from its retaining post until it is lifted above the small groove cut into the retaining post.
If necessary, insert your screwdriver parallel to the motherboard between the X clamp and its retaining post. Twist the screwdriver to fully release the X clamp from its retaining post.
Repeat this process for all four corners of the X clamp.
When removing the last corner of the X clamp and holding the motherboard upside down, be sure to catch the CPU heat sink to avoid damage from it falling.
Remove the CPU heat sink from the motherboard. When reinstalling the CPU heat sink, be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste.
Edit Step 47 ¶
If replacing the motherboard transfer the four thermal pads on the underside of the motherboard to your new motherboard.
Motherboard remains.
The DVD drive and the motherboard are "married" when they leave the factory. If you replace one you must replace the other or make sure that the keys match. If you put any old DVD drive onto a motherboard that it is not "married" to it will only play DVDs, no games.
Edit Step 48 — Reflowing Xbox 360 Motherboard ¶
Before heating up the motherboard, be sure to clean the old thermal paste off both the CPU and GPU until they are as clean as the processors seen in the first picture. The process for cleaning the processors can be found here.
Lay the motherboard with the processor side facing down on the flat metal bottom of the the bare chassis (with its open side facing down) as seen in the second picture. Allow the tall USB socket to hang over the edge of the chassis so the board sits flat.
Use a heat gun on the LOW setting to heat the entire back of the motherboard for one minute. Be sure to continually sweep the heat gun back and forth across the face of the motherboard to evenly heat it.
Edit Step 49 ¶
After heating the back of the motherboard for one minute, flip the motherboard over and lay it on the chassis as shown.
If you have installed the RROD fix kit already, keep the two small black heat sinks included in the kit stuck to their respective chips. The tape that is used to attach them to the chips on the board is extremely strong and attempting to remove them may damage the chips underneath. The heating process will not damage the heat sinks in any way.
Edit Step 50 ¶
With your heat gun set to HIGH, evenly heat the area boxed in red for four minutes.
When using the heat gun on high, it is extremely important to continually move the heat gun so the stream of hot air evenly heats up the desired area.
Avoid directly heating the many cylindrical electrolytic capacitors located near the area boxed in red.
After heating the area boxed in red for four minutes, turn off your heat gun and allow the motherboard to cool down to room temperature without moving or disturbing it in any way.
At this point, we strongly recommend installing our Red Ring of Death Fix Kit to safeguard against future failure.
Comments Comments are onturn off
Is there a similar guide for XBOX 360s?
Yes, there is - and It worked for me!
What temperature ranges should I be aiming for? I have a variable temp head gun and no idea of what temperatures are best for both stages.
The heat gun they are using has a 570 F low-setting. While that doesn't give you an EXACT temperature, it should give you some idea of what they're using.
You can avoid this step by pulling the front cover off. Just make sure you don't break the springs for the USB bay area.
Hello, thank you ifix for this guide, I followed this guide, I got stuck at some point but I resolved it. Also I want to share this resource: Step by Step guide to fix Xbox 360 errors it helped me go through all the things associated with Xbox 360 and the troubleshooting of errors. Hope this can also help you all.
The instructions on how to remove the x clamps are insufficient. I had a great deal of trouble with them. The small flathead screwdriver included with the kit is too small and weak to do the job. I ended up Googling other how-to's. I used a larger screwdriver and FINALLY popped them off, however as careful as I tried to be in the process I accidentally damaged a few traces around the screw hole. Repair was a failure, still have 3 red lights. Waste of time and money.

Is the x-clamp supposed to be reinstalled? It's not pictured in any part of the instructions after this point, so I did not reinstall it, and putting the xbox back together now is different than taking it apart.
The X-clamps are not reused. Since you install machine screws in place of the X-clamp mounting posts, you do not reinstall the eight screws highlighted in orange on step 41.
Rather than using a heat gun, I have had good results using a domestic oven. Pre-heat the oven to 230C then place the motherboard in the oven component side up. I use a piece of cardboard to support the board in the oven. Heat for a couple of minutes only, you should be able to smell the flux at this time. Turn the oven off and leave for a couple of minutes, then gently crack the oven door open slightly and leave like this until cool. This sort of simulates the ramp up/hold/ramp down of the normal soldering process. I have reflowed a couple of Xbox 360 motherboards like this with good results.

Anyone performing these heating steps should really shroud the areas that don't need then heat. If you are not an expert with the heat gun it is easy to damage other parts. I recommend using silicone oven pads to lay over everything but CPU and GPU areas. There is also a danger of over heating RAM chips. The key here is an even increase in temp for a UNIFORM temp of chips. I have done about 500 of these and when I first started they would pop errors again after a few heat-ups and cool downs. I even broke a few heating too fast and too quick. Heres the deal, cover other areas, start with heat gun on low 16 inches away moving in circles move closer. Increase heat over course of 4-5 min.
I have a heat gun with lo (300 C) and hi (600 C) settings. I've fixed 2 PS3 YLOD (excellent IFIXIT guide for that, by the way) and have just tried to fix an XBOX using this guide. Within 2 minutes of starting , using the hi setting and keeping the gun moving , one of the dark areas around the small chips started to bubble. I haven't tested the result, yet, but suspect the worst....
I think the guide should be more informative and precise about the heat requirement.
Next time I'm going to follow the settings (lo) and timings the PS3 guide suggests.

I would like to express sincere gratitude to the Telluride Association of Realtors for their support of working locals to be able to purchase a home in San Miguel County, by providing a grant through their generosity. TAR's sociological perspective of keeping our county well rounded and functional is a testament to their humanity and concern for the community they work within.
Words cannot express the relief and security felt by finally being able to purchase my own home. This opportunity is a life changing event for my son and me.
Arleen Boyd is also deserving of appreciaton for her tireless advocacy on my behalf. She is a professional real estate angel! Jill and Bill Masters have been supportive and generous in this process as well. Our community is truly an example of what can happen when we care about the well being of others.
Thankful to you all!

It can recognize a large number of compression, multimedia, and encryption algorithms and many other things like known strings and portions of anti-debugging code. Definitions can be manually added, since they are based on an ease-to-modify text signature file that is read at runtime. It also supports the scanning of processes, conversion of executable memory offsets, 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits, float and double, plus automatic CRC table creation and C style strings.
AgileJ StructureViews is an Eclipse plugin that generates highly configurable reverse engineered class diagrams for Java programmers. It specializes in supporting agile project development through the automated production of high presentation quality class diagrams with project-specific content generated and regenerated with minimal user effort.
UMLGraph facilitates the declarative specification and drawing of UML class and sequence diagrams. One can specify a class design using the Java syntax complemented by Javadoc tags. Running the UmlGraph doclet on the specification generates a Graphviz diagram specification that can be automatically processed to create Postscript, GIF, SVG, JPEG, fig, or Framemaker drawings. Similarly, sequence diagrams are specified using declarative pic macros and compiled with the GNU plotutils pic2plot program into a PNG, PNM, (pseudo) GIF, SVG, AI, Postscript, CGM, FIG, PCL, HPGL, Regis, or TEK drawing.
EmilPRO is a graphical disassembler for most architectures. It supports quick navigation through the code, visualizing jump destinations, and easy lookup of symbols and addresses. It also supports cross-referencing symbols and displays data (or instructions) in a hexview. Instruction types can be easily edited by the user and shared with others via a Web service. For binaries with debugging information, the high-level source code is shown in addition to the disassembled instructions. EmilPRO can open binaries of many formats, including ELF, Mach-O, and PE executables, with or without symbols.
ERDesignerNG is a Java-based entity relationship design and database modeling tool. It has a powerful WYSIWYG interface for physical database design, supports 2D and 3D database modeling, browsing, and design, handles tables, relations, indexes, and comments, supports a central repository for all models (Model Repository), supports subject areas, supports domains, supports MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQLServer, PostgreSQL, and H2, creates the SQL DDL statements for schema creation, has an integrated schema version control system, can generate schema migration scripts for every change, stores the database definition as XML files for further processing, can export the database schema as GIF, BMP, JPEG, or SVG files, has an integrated reverse engineering module for existing schemas, has a build in schema compare feature, can generate schema documentation as PDF, HTML, RTF, and other formats, and supports schema conversion between different dialects.
6jack is a framework for testing, analyzing, and fuzzing network applications. 6jack runs a command, intercepts calls to common network-related system calls, and passes them through an external filter. A filter can be written in any language supporting the MessagePack serialization library. 6jack is especially useful for writing tests for clients and servers, debugging and reverse engineering protocols, sketching filtering proxies, and fuzzing.
DatabaseToUML reverse engineers a database schema from an existing relational JDBC database. Tables and fields are reversed to classes and attributes, constraints are reversed to association, and tables composed only of foreign keys are converted to many-to-many associations. The main idea is to reuse the reversed model in a generator, taking UML2.x (EMF XMI 2.0/2.1) models as input.

More than 138 million American adults have life insurance. Why? Because death is one of the only guarantees in life — that and taxes. And now, perhaps, getting hacked can be added to the list, and that's been a boon to the cyber-insurance industry.
"Any high-value organization has been or will be attacked soon — that is almost certain in today's world," said William Stewart, the leader of Booz Allen Hamilton's Cyber Technologies Center of Excellence.
Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Bank of America, PNC, and even NBC News have all been victims of cybercrime recently. And the list goes on. (Like NBC News, CNBC is a unit of Comcast's NBC Universal unit.)
It's an issue that's keeping C-suite executives up at night. Fear of a cyberattack tops the list of major business risks that CEOs are most concerned about, according to a recent study sponsored by American International Group.
(Read More: Execs Say Cyberattacks a Top Threat: AIG Survey)
That fear appears to be driving business to the insurance industry. Cyber-insurance policies have been around for over a decade but their use has really only spiked in the past few years, and business is expected to grow.
As of June 2012, the Betterley Report, an independent guide to specialty insurance products, estimated that the total insurance premium for cyber-insurance was about $1 billion in the United States. The report's publisher, Richard Betterley, said he anticipates the premium to hit $1.2 billion in this year's report.
Insurance brokerage firm Marsh, whose parent company is Marsh and McLennan, said it has seen a 30 percent increase over the last year when it comes to its cyber business.
"There was a day when IT-related risks seemed to exist only for computer and technology firms," Bob Parisi, Marsh's Network Security and Privacy Practice Leader, told CNBC. "Now, the reality has set in that any company that handles, collects, or stores information; or any company that uses a computer network in its operations has this risk."
Marsh's clientele for cyber-liability insurance includes financial institutions, retail, health care, higher education, and media and tech industries. However, Parisi said there is new demand from companies within the manufacturing, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors.
(Read More: 10 Ways Companies Get Hacked)
So what exactly is cyber-liability insurance?
Plans include everything from business interruption coverage, which covers reimbursement for lost revenue resulting from an attack; privacy and security liability, which provides protection for claims such as lawsuits arising from an actual or alleged failure of computer security; cyber-extortion coverage, which covers ransom or investigative expenses associated with a threat; and information asset coverage, which provides reimbursement for the actual and necessary costs incurred to restore an organization's information and computer system assets.
Costs for these plans can vary depending on the company's size as well as the breadth and scope of coverage purchased.
Maria Treglia, chief sales officer at Program Brokerage Corporation, a division of HUB International, said she has seen sales of cyber-liability insurance increase ten-fold over the last year.
The company expects an even bigger expansion of that business this year.
"There is significant interest in this product by our middle-market clients with between $10 million to $1 billion in revenue," Treglia told CNBC.
(Read More: Is Washington to Blame for Cybersecurity Threat?)
Insurance companies are now fighting each other for clients, she said, so they can build up their books to sustain the losses they know will come in. "Each is trying to out-do the other in policy terms and conditions they will offer a client as well as risk management services. This is a win-win for our clients."
However, some remain skeptical.
"It's human nature to want to 'check all the boxes' to protect yourself from today's threats, but at the end of the day, insurance won't protect your company from losing sensitive intellectual property," said John Prisco, CEO of the cybersecurity company Triumfant.
"Signing up for insurance alone is not enough," he added. "Security professionals need to employ a higher level of diligence to make sure they're taking the proactive steps to protect their companies on the front-end rather than simply making sure the damage isn't as bad once it's done."
(Read More: The Dirty Email Trick Favored by Hackers)
In fact, cyber criminals are much more organized these days. According to Fortinet's 2013 Cybercrime report, they are operating more like a legitimate business with a complex hierarchy.
The bottom line, Prisco said, is no amount of insurance is going to save a company if trade secrets are revealed as a result of a successful cyber attack.
And when it comes to cyber crime, most experts would agree, no protection is perfect.

"She was healed immediately." --Luke 8:47
One of the most touching and teaching of the Saviour's miracles is before us tonight. The woman was very ignorant. She imagined that virtue came out of Christ by a law of necessity, without his knowledge or direct will. Moreover, she was a stranger to the generosity of Jesus' character, or she would not have gone behind to steal the cure which he was so ready to bestow. Misery should always place itself right in the face of mercy. Had she known the love of Jesus' heart, she would have said, "I have but to put myself where he can see me--his omniscience will teach him my case, and his love at once will work my cure." We admire her faith, but we marvel at her ignorance. After she had obtained the cure, she rejoiced with trembling: glad was she that the divine virtue had wrought a marvel in her; but she feared lest Christ should retract the blessing, and put a negative upon the grant of his grace: little did she comprehend the fulness of his love! We have not so clear a view of him as we could wish; we know not the heights and depths of his love; but we know of a surety that he is too good to withdraw from a trembling soul the gift which it has been able to obtain. But here is the marvel of it: little as was her knowledge, her faith, because it was real faith, saved her, and saved her at once. There was no tedious delay--faith's miracle was instantaneous. If we have faith as a grain of mustard seed, salvation is our present and eternal possession. If in the list of the Lord's children we are written as the feeblest of the family, yet, being heirs through faith, no power, human or devilish, can eject us from salvation. If we dare not lean our heads upon his bosom with John, yet if we can venture in the press behind him, and touch the hem of his garment, we are made whole. Courage, timid one! thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God."

@MrSEC dad says Bama.
Robert Nkemdiche's commitment to Clemson is still in doubt.
The recruitment of the highly-touted defensive end from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., has been controversial, especially since he committed to Clemson in June.
Nkemdiche has maintained his pledge to the Tigers is strong, but his tune seems to be changing. He told ESPN RecruitingNation on Wednesday that Ole Miss is still in the picture.
"My recruitment is crazy still, and Ole Miss is making a push for me," Nkemdiche told ESPN. "It does not matter to my dad, but my mom wants me to go to Ole Miss and we are still talking about it, so we have not come to an agreement on it yet. It is tugging my heart in two different directions."
The first direction is Clemson, where Nkemdiche and Grayson teammates Wayne Gallman and David Kamara have said they plan to play together. But Nkemdiche's brother, Denzel Nkemdiche, is a redshirt freshman at Ole Miss.
That appears to be the main reason Nkemdiche's mother wants her son to sign with Ole Miss. She told ESPN The Magazine in September she wasn't happy with Clemson's recruitment of Nkemdiche.
"His decision is not final," Beverly Nkemdiche said. "He's just a teenager, and people are forgetting that. We had never discussed Clemson, and I am unhappy with Clemson. I'm not there, so I don't know for certain, but I feel like Robert was pressured into this decision."
Sadly, it seems the pressure will only become greater as long as Nkemdiche's mother tries to convince her son to go against his own choice.

Robert Mapplethorpe: " Paul Blanca Is My Only Competitor "
Paul Blanca was born in 1958 in Amsterdam and started photography in 1980. He did not go to art acadamy, but choose his own teachers like the ballet choreographer and photographer Hans van Manen, the painter Jean Paul Vroom, designer Benno Premsela and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
The eighties and ninethies Blanca travelled and worked a lot in New York, went to the civil war in Lebanon (Beirut) and followed for several years the Bullfight in Spain where he rented studios in Zaragoza, Barcelona, Sevilla and Madrid. The end of the Tauro Maquina he worked with the female rjonadora (bullfighter on horseback) Marie Sara in Nimes the south of France.
In 1992 he lived for one year in Egypt, followed with a year in New York. Since then he lives and works mostly in the Netherlands,
which he combines with visits in Spain where he already undertook the pelgrimage to Santiago the Compostella for this year (2009) for the
fifth time. Paul Blanca now lives and works in Amsterdam Holland.

Friday's announcement by IBM that it would acquire predictive marketing services provider Unica for $480 million seemed like just another day at Big Blue as of late. The computer giant has been eating up e-commerce technology providers right and left.
Let's take a look at the stats:
IBM this summer purchased Coremetrics for an estimated $150 million.
In May, it bought Sterling Commerce, a vendor that helps retailers connect with customers and suppliers, from AT&T Inc. for $1.4 billion.
Last fall, it purchased predictive web analytics vendor SPSS for $1.2 billion.
IBM isn't alone, however. In fact, it looks a lot like its competitors.
In the second quarter, the marketing technology field posted 31 acquisitions, according to investment bank Petsky Prunier, making it the most active segment among the seven marketing, information and digital media industries monitored in the second quarter by the investment bank.
31. That's one every three days,
Here's a sampling: E-commerce platform technology and services provider GSI Commerce Inc. bought Fetchback, an ad retargeting company; personalization technology provider MyBuys acquired network optimization company Veruta; and community forum network company CrowdGather purchased ADISN, a provider of targeted marketing technology that encompasses data from social networks.
Ok, so there's been a lot of buying and selling going on. Now for the important question. What does this mean for e-retailers? In particular, what does this mean for the customers of SPSS, Coremetrics, Sterling Commerce or any of the other providers IBM and others have snapped up? Have you, our readers and the retailers using the vendors, benefitted or suffered? Or, is it somewhere in between?
I, of course, have my own thoughts. First off, so many acquisitions could very well soon begin to lessen competition in the marketplace, leaving e-retailers with fewer choices. It also could mean e-commerce has become so important that even big players like IBM fear being left behind. However, the fact that these big companies are acquiring may also create opportunity for smaller technology vendors to go after smaller merchants.
But those are just a few of my hunches. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I've got no other way to pin down answers than by going straight to the source. Well, I could give IBM, GSI or any of the others a ring, but I'm pretty sure I know what their answers will be. You tell me.
IBM acquired two companies whose software I use extensively, Lombardi Teamworks and Mercury Loadrunner. In both cases, the transition has been relatively seamless from my perspective as a user. If I need any support, I still go through the same channels to obtain it and the periodic communications and updates from the companies all look the same to me. All in all, it has not really impacted me as an end user positively or negatively.
The trouble is that vendors want to build the best integrated stack of functionality and yet over time there is no way that each component will continue to be best of breed. As a result, vendors loose focus and market leadership. As a buyer, I am not comfortable with end-to-end solutions - they have never delivered on that promise. Let new players jump in and create markets. I believe its a poor strategy from IBM.
These companies think they can buy up everyone and then raise prices. Usually the service ends up sucking, they triple the rates and then loose complete focus on what the "purchased company" was trying to accomplish in the first place. I personally dumped Coremetrics because of the acquisition by IBM as they have completely lost their level of customer service. IBM needs to die and let others take over. It's called Business evolution and IBM is trying to hang on to a thread by purchasing other companies as a last ditch effort. I'm running a 100 million dollar company and I will continue to drop these companies and support the Startups that actually know what Customer Service Is.

SACRAMENTO — The movie "Lincoln" should be required viewing for all elected chief executives from president to mayor, and especially for California's governor.
Especially our governor because California has so many perplexing, polarizing problems that urgently need fixing: an outdated, inefficient tax system; a business regulatory sump; deteriorating public schools and universities; and a crumbling infrastructure, including state waterworks. For starters.
"Lincoln," directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president, shows how great public deeds can be achieved in the real world of American democracy.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
In fact, make "Lincoln" required viewing for all legislators, from Congress to state capitals to city councils.
Moreover, every voter should see it — at least those idealists who cling to the misguided notion that politicians must be pure and not truly representative of the people who elect them; that they should be angelic, not human.
Politicians — even the most dedicated and well-intentioned — are torn by conflicting cross-currents of human nature. It's rare that anything momentous is achieved by an easily cobbled consensus. There are always potential winners and losers at one another's throats.
Sometimes an inducement needs to be dangled to persuade a hesitant — often scared — lawmaker to cast a difficult vote. OK, call it a payoff.
"Lincoln" is about the Great Emancipator's tenacious fight to prod Congress into passing the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery before the Civil War ends. After peace arrives, the pressure will be off, he fears. His Emancipation Proclamation had covered only rebel states and might not even hold up constitutionally after the war.
Lincoln is short 20 Democratic votes in a lame-duck session of the House of Representatives. Advisors say it's too risky to push ahead, that it could cost him his popularity.
"We can find 20 votes," the president says confidently, and notes that dozens of Democrats lost their seats in the recent election. They'll be "Democrats looking for jobs" when the current session ends, he notes. Offer them.
Finally, Lincoln gets within two votes, but his aides and hired lobbyists are losing hope. The impatient president is sitting with them and slaps the table. "I can't listen to this anymore," he yells. He wants those votes this week. "Now get the hell out of here and get 'em." Asked how, he stands, stretching his 6-foot, 4-inch frame, and lectures them about presidential politics.
Here, I'll quote from Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Lincoln." The movie was based, in part, on the book, and uses this quote from Lincoln exhorting his naysaying help:
"I am President of the United States, clothed with great power. The abolition of slavery by constitutional provision settles the fate, for all coming time, not only of the millions now in bondage, but of unborn millions to come — a measure of such importance that those two votes must be procured.
"I leave it to you to determine how it shall be done. But remember that I am President of the United States, clothed in immense power, and I expect you to procure those votes."
Goodwin continues: "It was clear to his emissaries that his powers extended to plum assignments, pardons, campaign contributions and government jobs for relatives and friends of faithful members."
One Democrat changed his vote, Goodwin writes, and later "was given the lucrative post of Navy agent in New York."

NHS bosses urge public to get fit in 2014
3:21pm Tuesday 31st December 2013 in News
NHS bosses have urged people to commit to improving their health in the coming year.
East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group said simple resolutions such as quitting smoking or living a healthier lifestyle can go a long way to improving people's lives.
Dr Mike Ions, chief clinical officer, said: "Exercising more is also another good commitment to make in the New Year.
"From improved vascular health, to increased self-esteem and confidence, the effort is certainly worth it. People of all ages should endeavour to exercise regularly. In conjunction with more exercise, a nutritious balanced diet consisting of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats can dramatically improve health and body composition.
"Making a commitment to eat healthier is often very difficult for some people but with a bit of determination alongside the help and support from our services it is certainly possible."
He stressed that moderate-intensity exercise is enough to raise a person's heart rate and break sweat, and could include walking fast, water aerobics, riding a bicycle and light jogging.

Do not know where I go or what do once there
Good...competition for Butler...may the best leg win. Sure, Moorman's as old I am, but old age never stopped punters/kickers before. Dude was beloved in Buffalo before they let him go last year (of course, there hasn't been much else to cheer for in Buffalo for quite a while, so a punter is as good a thing as any to get behind).

Report: Steelers adding punter Brian Moorman
Posted by Mike Wilkening on April 30, 2013, 3:55 PM EDT

The Steelers have signed veteran punter Brian Moorman, Bob Labriola of Steelers Digest reported on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old Moorman was one of the best punters left in free agency. He will push Drew Butler for the Steelers' punting job. According to multiple reports, Moorman visited Pittsburgh on Monday.
Moorman had stints with the Cowboys and Bills — his long-time club — in 2012. The Cowboys picked up Moorman when Buffalo released him after a slow start. A two-time Pro Bowler and a member of the NFL's All-Decade team of the 2000s, Moorman's form improved in Dallas, where he posted a 38.9-yard net average in 12 games compared to just 32.7 yards net in three games for the Bills.
Drew Butler, the son of former NFL kicker Kevin Butler, recorded a 37.8-yard net average in 2012.
According to Labriola, the Steelers also waived wide receiver Bert Reed on Tuesday.

Round 5a. Ryan Carrethers, DT; Arkansas State
Round 5b. Ryan Groy, OG; Wisconsin
Round 6a. E.J. Gaines, CB; Missouri
Round 6b. Trevor Reilly, OLB; Utah
Round 7. Anthony Fera, K; Texas
Why not sign one of the guys as a UDFA with a young leg? Did any punters get drafted or signed as UDFAs? Signing a 38 year old punter that was only a couple yards better than Butler doesn't seem prudent.

The Steelers went with the youth approach last year, and as Butler showed, younger is not always better. I know that the Eagles signed Wing, the punter from LSU, as a high priority FA with a decent bonus. I'm fine with competition between the rookie and the vet.
Even if Moorman only sticks for a year, he's a punter. You don't need a long term solution. You either have one of the few elite guys or one of many essentially interchangeable options.

2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt

5. Kenny Ladler FS Vanderbilt

6. Ricardo Allen CB Purdue
6. (comp) Andrew Jackson ILB W. Kentucky
7. Quincy Enunwa WR Nebraska
I don't know if one of the college punters would be better or worse, but, why not bring one in to compete. Wasn't one of the goals to get younger?

White Pizza with Tomato and Basil
Crushed red pepper is optional in this recipe but, if you can take the heat, it will give the flavors in this pizza a kick. Heating a cookie sheet in the oven before you put the pizza on it gives you a crisper crust.
White Pizza with Tomato and Basil
1 (10-ounce) Italian cheese-flavored thin pizza crust (such as Boboli)
1 teaspoon cornmeal
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons refrigerated pesto with basil (such as Buitoni)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sliced small tomatoes (such as Campari tomatoes)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup small basil leaves
Crushed red pepper (optional)
See More of Our Best Superfast Recipes
1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. Place a baking sheet in oven; heat for 10 minutes.
3. While baking sheet heats, place crust on another baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Lightly coat crust with cooking spray. Spread pesto evenly over crust, leaving a 1-inch border; sprinkle mozzarella evenly over pesto. Dollop ricotta, by teaspoonfuls, evenly over mozzarella. Slide crust onto preheated baking sheet, using a spatula as a guide. Broil 5 inches from heat for 5 minutes or until cheese begins to melt. Remove from oven; top evenly with tomatoes, black pepper, and basil. Sprinkle with red pepper, if desired. Cut into 8 slices.

Tinypug is a system for building portals that enables innovation communities. The idea is to go beyond one-off statistical surveys (which tend to only verify an existing paradigm) to foster real collaboration and anecdotal feedback from users/customers. A company seeking to gather more feedback on its products usually has to resort to a few existing stand-alone mechanisms such as polls and comments on product listings. But Tinypug puts all of these tools together in one place. It also makes it easier to integrate with call center applications for the active gathering of customer feedback. It's not a content management system as much as it is a feedback management system. It provides in-browser message boards, polls, surveys, and user-submitted ideas with voting. There's also a basic content system that enables you to upload and publish pages and images. You can customize the look of the site using themes and extend its functionality using add-on libraries.
BitNami LimeSurvey Stack Native Installer is an easy-to-install distribution of the LimeSurvey application. It includes pre-configured, ready-to-run versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin so users can get a LimeSurvey installation up and running in minutes after answering a few questions. Windows, Linux, Linux 64, Mac OS X, and Unix operating systems are supported. LimeSurvey allows users to quickly create intuitive, powerful, online question-and-answer surveys that can work for tens to thousands of participants without much effort. The survey software itself is self-guiding for the respondents who are participating.

Trust me, you won't want anything else." Another woman says, 'Pro-Age' is a good name for this product � the first thing that made me want to buy this product was it was designed for people like me; I am 67 years old and have aging, dry skin � one of the best features of the product is that it has good staying power; it appears to be still working to make your skin look good several hours after application." Another reader says it's "the best lotion I've ever used. I believe I would pay double for this incredible lotion � Right out of the shower it smoothes your skin and absorbs like magic, making your skin feel beautifully smooth and silky. My skin feels young again."

Bobby was prompt, professional and upfront about how much he would charge for the hole my husband made when he put his foot through the attic. We were very pleased with how quickly he completed the work and how he worked around our schedules. We would highly recommend him!
excellent service, great friendly workers – I want to thank Bobby at Triangle Remodeling Service for providing a beautiful remodel to our master bathroom. We had them remove the cheap builder grade fiberglass shower and brass finish frames. They installed all new tile and used epoxy grout which i am supposed never have to clean again. They took down a wall that went up to the ceiling and built a kneewall so the clear heavy glass shower enclosure would open up the space. They worked with products that were online and some here in local stores.The process took a little longer than i wanted, but it was more than worth the wait after seeing the finished product. Thanks to all the guys who worked on my new modern bathroom!
Inferior Product - Very Unprofessional – I discussed with the owner, Bobby, the prospect of doing a remodel to my home. He really played up the good ol boy, aw shucks angle and I fell for it. His estimate was the lowest but we went with him anyway. After we hired him, he turned very aggressive and did not listen to my wife or me. His subs were rough looking to say the least. One of the people left an oil spot on our driveway the size of a manhole. In retrospect, I think they specialize in budget bathroom remodels and our project was probably above their expertise level.
Bottom line, the owner is not who he seems, he only cared about getting our money and had no attention to detail. The work was shoddy. We will definitely not be recommending this company.
I have never received any complaint from this person because i have never worked for anyone named Jason Cessna. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and have 0 complaints filed in 4 years! I really hope the competing company will stop writing fake reviews to slander my company's character, as we have worked very hard to make it in a very rough economy.
Amazing work – I needed my kitchen and master bathroom renovated. The price was very reasonable and everything was done when I was told it would be. I had new cabinets and countertops put in. They look incredible! I also had a new light fixture installed in place of the ugly flourescent that came with my house. I had everything in my bathroom changed. New mirror and light fixture, new vanity and faucet, and new shower stall. He also replaced the linoleum with beautiful tile. I would recommend Triangle Remodeling to anyone!
Complete Kitchen Renovation – I hired Triangle Remodeling services to come in and renovate my kitchen. I need a wall Knocked out to expand my Kitchen it was just to small of a space. I also had an old electric stove that I just hated, As well as my counter tops were cracked and the laminate was falling off. Bobby worked with a interior designer to better accommodate my needs. He replaced my old stove and installed a gas range stove that matched the scheme of my new kitchen, He refinished the wood on my cabinets and upgraded my counter tops to Granite. My Kitchen is truly a dream come true. I was impressed that not only did he work hard and worked within my budget but he was clean respectable and made me feel like my needs were met in every way but actually cleaned up after he was done. I not only recommend Triangle Remodeling service but encourage everyone that is planning a remodel to use their service and they can't go wrong.
Bathroom Remodeling Done Right – by Tracie
Triangle Remodeling did an OUTSTANDING job on my bathroom remodel. Bobby finished our basement here in Brier Creek for our mother to live in (with a bathroom) and we hired them because the price was under the bigger outfits and he gave us a more personal experience. Communicated well from beginning to end and has professional subs who were all polite and respectful. Great Remodeler to work with.
Homeowoner chose not to pay any additional fees to correct pre-existing unlevel conditions. A fix was offered to the homeowner to correct the issue before the job was completed and they declined my offer.
Bath Remodel – Our master bathroom was in need of a remodel. The package price made sense ....Seriously, this guy had his act together and knew exactly what he was doing!!. Kept the schedule set forth.He was ontime...affordable and worked with me on my cost....Let me just put it this way.....He went that extra mile! I would refer Bobby to anyone...
Bathroom Remodeling – Convenient way to have your bathroom remodeled. Turned around in about a week and was one with beautiful porcelain tile. Packages for full bath remodels start at $3995. Makes its simple and convenient.
