This was our second trip to N,
the first being within the first 3
months of opening in 2010. Needless
to say, we enjoyed our first, and were
pleasantly surprised by the improvements
and the fact that they are growing slowly
without sacrificing the personal attention to
detail and superior service! This is a naturist's
comfort zone with clothing optional pool, beaches,
and clothes free run of the resort.
The food was great and plentiful, with a combination
of Jamaican and Carribean flavor, enhanced by the
spices and herbs grown right on property. The Chefs
take personal pride in all that they serve, whether it
be at the swim up bar, buffet, or even on the beach!
Rooms are clean with a knotty pine rustic flair, and
enhanced by the housekeeping staff's personal touches
of flowers, towel crafted animals, and twice daily towel
changes and touch ups. Grounds are lush and well
maintained, but could be cut back a little . Night life is
early by some standards, but the piano bar, and hot
tubs extend the evening for those that aren't ready to
turn in. Beaches are well maintained, and easily accessible
to long walks for those that want to venture off. We didn't
snorkel, but those that did came back with reports of a
variety of fish seen including several stingrays.
Entertainment staff works hard without being too
pushy, and volleyball competitions, water slide,
and even the goat races on the beach constantly
had us meeting with new friends. This is a couples
orientated resort with a very laid back atmosphere
that caters to comfort and relaxation, and the staff
does all possible to assure that their guests' needs
are attended to. We would recommend to all looking
for an adult vacation to relax or just reconnect!
Larry and Diane / Florida-March 2014
This was my wife and I's 3rd time back to the N resort
in a year. We celebrated our first anniversary from being
married at the resort. When my wife and I arrived we were
huggingly welcomed by 7 couples that witnessed our
wedding on the beach from last year. What a treat!!!
The staff has become our second family. We miss you J
effery, Okema, Baxter, Nicholus, Freddie, je remain and
the rest of staff. Beach is fantastic as is the pool!
Hot tubs and rooms. Be back in a few months. RESPECT
"Greatest place for the outdoor nudist."
Yeah, it maybe a little rustic, but WE LOVE THAT.
Look, this is not the Hilton or Ritz, but that's why its
so great, it just feels homey and comfortable. The
food is good, the staff exceptional and the rooms
quaint and clean. If your tastes are that of a princess,
you should stick with sitting on your lounge chair
pool-side all week at Hidden Beach.
The true draw of this place are the other nudists.
This if the most friendliest place on the planet,
you will be smiling and laughing all week. We
have made quite a few friends that we will keep in touch with.
The second biggest draw is the beach!!! You can walk nude
for about two miles on undeveloped beach and enjoy the true
wonder of feeling free while snorkeling nude anywhere!!!
Where else can you do that without bumping into another
luxury, ubiquitous resort and clothed gawkers that will
point fingers at you. Not here.
We will be back next February.
This was our second trip to N-resort,
We had a fantastic trip once again!
Thanks to all the Great Staff, they
really make this place! Very laid back
and relaxing! Great Food, Great people!
Great Weather! We will be back!! Thank
You N-resort! Dave and Andrea.
"Terrific attention to Service"
July 2013
You will experience exceptional service,
top notch treatment at 'N'. My fiancée
and I just returned from our first visit
to the N Resort. Having visited many C/O
resorts, we like to continue to explore
new options. After the initial 'shock' of
the non-Caribbean architecture that must
have been inspired by Paul Bunyan's Pocono
log cabin, we found the resort to meet and
exceed our expectations. The staff and service
was phenomenal, they went above and beyond.
My fiancée is gluten and diary intolerant
and as soon we questioned the food ingredients
the head chef came out to assure her that
everything she ordered would meet her dietary
requirements. Even with the quiet slow pace of
the 'low season' light guest attendance, there's
plenty to do, besides the oceanfront beach, the
pool, and daily entertainment, you can enjoy a
nude game of billiards or ping pong (with the
obvious pleasant distraction), play on the swing
set, nude beach walk, hot tub, pool slide, fish
at the end of the pier, or just hang out to
drink and eat to your heart's desire. The evening
theme nights with fine dining of lobster and
other delicious menu options, and constant staff
attention to service, while musicians were playing,
was great. We would certainly recommend 'N', and
after meeting some of the other friendly guests
who were on their multiple return visits validates
the resorts commitment to consistent great service.
Room Tip: Oceanfront 2nd floor rooms are the best
"Utter Relaxation"
July 2013
My wife and I just got back from the
most relaxing vacation we've had in years.
We stayed in an oceanfront room. The Carribean
was 20 feet from the back porch. The room was
spacious, well maintained and comfortable. The
beach was wide and kept clean by the staff,
in spite of the North wind that blew in seaweed
every night. Snorkel gear, kayaks, tennis courts,
a 100 foot spiral pool slide, swim up bar, pool
volleyball court and a friendly and enthusiastic
activities staff kept us as busy and entertained
as we wanted. The kitchen and wait staffs were
excellent, as was the cuisine. Plenty of fresh
fruit, fresh fish, and Jamacian goodies. Serving
sizes were ideal. We never left hungry. Never
asked for seconds. The grounds, buildings and
facilities were well maintained. There is no
doubt that we will go back.
Room Tip: Go for beachfront. The waves lull you to sleep.
"3rd time and more to come"
June 2013
We just returned from our 3rd visit to N
and met old friends from previous trips
and made some new friends. The wonderful
staff at this naturist resort welcomed
us back and many of them are like family
to us. The weather before we left called
for a rain almost every day but as usual
in the carribean, it was always somewhere
else. The weather was perfect,the people
were great, the food was excellent and the
rooms were clean. What more could you ask
for. We will be back
"First Time at "N""
June 2013
Where to start. This place is AMAZING!!!!
My wife and I just returned from N, Jun
10-21, 2013. This was our first time in
Jamaica and at N-Resort. First off, if
your looking for the party L/S environment
this is not the resort for you. If your
looking for marble and granite and bling,
you will not find I here. What you will
find is rustic, natural accommodations,
rooms with natural hard wood floors,
beautiful well maintained landscaped
grounds. IF, however you want a VERY
relaxing quiet vacation this is a must
on your list of places to stay! N is
about a 30 minute shuttle ride from
Montego Bay Airport (MBJ). Upon arrival,
the staff greeted us as if we where
returning guests. Since this was the
"off season", counting us there was 6
guests-3 couples! It's was great having
the whole resort to ourselves. A few
guests came and went while we were there
and the max number of guests at one time
during our stay was 20 - 10 couples.
The resort has 96 rooms total. If we needed
or wanted something the staff made sure
we where taken care of. To include a trip
into town to the pharmacy. This is a "all
inclusive" couples resort (no kids) and is
a nude resort, meaning that if you wish you
can be nude 24/7, even while dinning. Next
time we are only packing a tooth brush and
maybe one or two changes of clothes. There
are fresh towels available to sit on the
chairs and on the lounge chairs by the pool.
The pool and main hot tub are cleaned and
maintained everyday. There are 3 hot tubs on
the grounds but only one was filled since
there was so few guests. The swim up bar is
great, all the drinks are included, just be
careful with the Bob Marley shots (thanks
Jeffery). The entertainment staff has
something planned every hour of every day.
Beach walks, trivia, aquasize in the pool,
theme nights, pool water volleyball, body
painting, local shopping, local bands and
a fire eater. The entertainment staff even
took us and another couple to the club
Margaretville in Montego Bay to party one
night. The beach is great and cleaned every
morning of seaweed blown in from the north
easterly winds. The food is wonderful with
great presentation, fresh fruits, fresh fish
and Jamaican cuisine. The portions are perfect
and they will bring more if your still hungry.
The rooms are beautiful and well maintained.
The cleaning staff was perfect, they made sure
our towels where fresh, room was cleaned and
that the bed was turned down every night. You
can take pictures on the resort as long as the
other guests are not in them without prior
approval of course from the guests. We took over
300 pictures on our trip. We can not say enough
wonderful things about "N-Resort". Thank you Freddie
(GM) and your entire staff for making our stay
with you unforgettable. We will be back!!!!!
Brian and Melanie
Back to our Jamaican Home
March 2013"
Anothher wonderful trip to N-resort.
My wife and I have been coming to the
resort since it re-opened in 2010 and
absolutely love the place. It's a testament
to the resort that there are so many repeat
customers. It's also good to see the number
of vistors to the resort grow each year. It's
the people that make the resort. From Martin and
Sanchez preparing delectable dishes to Owayne with
activities, Barrington at the piano bar and Geoffery
taking care of any of your beverage needs and doing
entertainment. Freddy works hard to make sure the guests
have a wonderful experience. We also had a chance to meet
up with a lot of wonderful friends that we've been able to
make through the years as well as make new ones. Can't
wait to visit again soon!
Wonderfully Relaxing Place
March 2013"
As a long time visitor of Braco,
N Resort filled the void. The
staff were fantastic. Before the trip,
I was concerned about the size of the
resort and eating options. My wife has
celiac and has to be gluten free. At
check-in, I mentioned it and we were
immediately introduced to Martin the chef.
He took personal responsibility for guiding
my wife to foods that she could eat at every
meal. We will definitely return.
A Great time at N Resort
March 2013"
This was our first time nude vacation
experience and we had a great time at
N Resort. The accomodations were neat and
clean, the hotel staff went out of their
way to make us comfortable in every way
and the food was excellent. If you are
looking for a great place to relax and enjoy
the outdoors, we recommend it highly.
Including neighboring beaches, there must
be at least 2 miles of beach to walk along,
in the buff. We met some really nice people
there and are really looking forward to a
return visit.
N Resort Exceeded our Expectations
February 2013
We read many reviews of N Resort prior to our
vacation there February 15-24. Those reviews
turned out to be, for the most part, fairly accurate.
If you are looking for the newest, plushest resort,
open your wallet wider and move on. For our hard earned money,
N Resort fit the bill for a relaxing au natural vacation.
The grounds are lush and well manicured, our room was clean
and well stocked and the entire staff under manager Freddy
eager to make our experience nothing but pleasurable!!! I
won't drag this on with every detail of our time there, suffice
to say this resort has earned the good reviews that sold us on
coming here and we plan on returning!! The staff is just phenomenal,
the food very good and while the portions are not huge, just ask for
more baby piglet, they are happy to oblige!!! The drinks are always
flowing and we did see some who brought their own 7-11 Big Gulp cups;
we were fine with what the bar was serving. There is night life; games,
bands, disco, piano bar and our fav, hot tub nude socializing. Make no
mistake, this IS a mature crowd; think 40 and up...way up. But we like
this kind of crowd. No pretensions, no one 'hitting' on you. We did
notice a few swingers there but for the most part they did abide by
the rules of the house that there be no public displays of sexual
activity. This IS a great place to just chill and enjoy the sun naked,
we loved it!!! Freddy told me there are about 150 staff members at N Resort
so I cannot single any out; all we encountered treated us not as occupants
but truly as guests and friends. Respect to all and we look forward to
coming home!!!
Fantasy Island
February 2013
My name is Doug and my wife Stacy and I got married
on the beach Feb. 24. I worked with staff member
Trishawana for several weeks on planning the event
ans she went above and beyond all of my expectations to
get all the paper work and event scheduled. "Thanks again
Trishawana". The general manager "Freddie" is a true professional
and keeps the whole resort running like a Rolex. We became instant
friends and did so much to make our stay and wedding a lifelong
memory. He even went as far as to search 7 different market stores
to bring my wife hair pins the day of our wedding. What other
general manager does that?. "Thanks again Freddie". The staff is
second to none. Always smiling and making you feel like your
something special. We went to N resort to get married by
ourselves and came home with a whole new family. Instantly
upon arriving we made best friends with the whole staff in
fact front desk manager "Okema", was sweet enough to do Stacy's
hair and makeup. Made her look even prettier than she already
is. "Your the best Diamond and we miss you". We asked Freddie's
permission, which he agreed, to have Chef Damion and Activity
Director Tashalee to be our best man and maid of honer. What a
great decision. We are friends forever now. Two of the most
outstanding people we have ever got to know in our lives.
" We miss you two so much and can't wait to to back to share
more laughs and happy times. Enough about our fantasy wedding
and more about the resort and staff. The beach is awsome and
water so clear. Our daily walks, 10 per day, were great and
the staff keeps the sand raked to clear of sea grasses all day
everyday. While my new bride would sleep in I would spend the
early morning hours fishing off the pier. One morning early bar
staff member brought me out a plate of bread for bait, wow that
was so kind. Gardner " Winston" brought me aloe for my sunburn
and made us a bouquet of flowers for our room. It was so much
fun to watch him climb the coconut trees to cut coconuts down
then carve them and cut mall hole on top drop a straw in and whalla
instant true tropical beverage. Stacy and I have been to many
different Jamaica resorts and by far N Resorts blows them all
away with service with a smile. The bar staff is incredible. I
could name every one of our new friends but instead I will just say
" Stacy and I can't wait to return to be with all of you again".
The chef's are amazing. The detail they put in the presentation
of the dishes is so perfect. "Keep up the amazing job all our new
friends and Stacy and I will see you in July"!!!!
January 2013
My wife and I just got back from a quick
little get-a-way and spent 4 nights at this
resort and let me just say it was perfect for
what we wanted.
You can tell that the resort is older but the
charm is still there and along with a staff
that goes out of their way (Jamaican time though),
the value is definitely there. They had a "buy 4
nights and get a fifth free" but I just didn't
have the flexibility in my schedule to make it
work THIS TIME!:-)
Rooms were cleaned 2 x per day and had no issues
at all with housekeeping. She made sure whatever
I needed or wanted was there everyday. My wife's
hair dryer went out and they brought her a new one
to use (we didn't even ask for it. Just mentioned
it to a maintaince guy).
Food was good. They really do a good job with Jamaican
Cuisine and it shows at every meal. I'm not a big fan
of buffets but theirs was good enough to get a "4" out
of me.
In reading the previous posts, I was surprised that the
resort had about 70 people there (35 couples). We met a
lot of wonderful people there and didn't want to leave
when our time was up.
I would recommend this resort to anyone who wants to
experience an nude vacation whether it be your first time
or an experienced clothing optional traveller.
"Great Vacation"
December 2012
Just returned from a wonderful week in
sunny Jamaica. N-Resort exceded expectations
in all ways. The food was excellent with
a great variety of choices prepared as
per your order, no buffet entrees here.
Drinks mixed to your liking with top
choice liquors and cold red stripe at
the bars. Rooms very nice with that
rustic look of hardwood, not the normal
concrete walls you see at most resorts.
In-room fridge with cold beer and other
drink choices was nice touch.
The staff @ N-Resort were amazing and
very attentive to all needs and wants.
Grounds were well maintained and beautiful,
beach cleaned and raked throughout the day.
Water volleyball and other games orgained
by activties staff. Entertainment varied from
night to night, "Big Mamma" was a hoot!!
Pool area was large with plenty of seating
available in comfortable lounge chairs,
proximity of hottub to bar was a big plus
(drinks served by staff while you soaked
and visited with new friends).
Just a note, be sure and bring mosquitos
spray or lotion as some guests were bothered
by the little pests. The resort had a spray
mixture of listerine for use, which helped
with most but not all guests. Alas, the
tropics! Small tradeoff for amazing views
and waking to the sound of surf just off
your balcony.
Will definitely return to this resort, look
forward reacquainting with new found friends
and meeting even more new ones which will
most assuredly be there!
Thanks N-Resort for a wonderful vacation and
to the staff which made it all possible!!!
Room Tip: Upgrade to beach front if possible
but even beach view were very nice with wonderful
beach view.
"Excellent service, food, and location"
November 2012
Our first trip to a clothing optional
resort, must say it was a great experience.
The service from all aspects was excellent.
Beginning with the staff knowing our name by
the end of the day to the food. Hotel was
clean rooms were cleaned twice a day. Pool
bottom needs a little re-surfacing but
that was the only negative we encountered.
The other guests were friendly and its was
like vacation with old friends. Special
kudo's to Geoffery, Martin, Sanchez, in
the restaurant. Greg and O'Wayne E.D.'s,
and Kadesha, Andre, bar staff, and all
the wait staff. Thank You for making our
visit a memorable one hope to see you soon.
"A great 2nd visit"
October 2012
Another great trip to N.
The staff and food were great
and again the folks we met were
wonderful. A lot of them had been
there before and had come back for
a return visit. The staff remembered
us from last May and it felt like
we were all one big family
"Give this resort a try if you love freedom from clothes"
September 2012
We were at the N-Resort from Sept 4 to Sept 12.
We were in block 10 that had a magnificent view
of the sea and beach from the balcony. We were
on the second floor and given the lack of insulation
the room did not stay cool during the heat of the
day but the A/C worked great at night. A ceiling fan
would be a welcome addition. We found it very relaxing
to listen to the sound of the ocean at night which
you could hear even with the A/C on. Our suit was
simple, rustic and comfortable enough since we did
not spend much time there except to shower and sleep.
The shower had great pressure and never ran out of
hot water. The only down side were the mosquitoes
during the evening so be sure to bring repellent.
The pathways that go throughout the resort are very
lush with tropical plants and trees, the grounds
are well maintained. We enjoyed the pool and swim
up bar. There is limited shade so that may be an
issue for some when the occupancy is high. We
enjoyed the water slide and volleyball in the pool
for which water shoes are needed. The beach has
some seaweed which the workers keep under control
as best as can be expected. The water was very
clear and warm but there were a lot of rocks to
avoid so bring water shoes or fins. We snorkeled
almost every morning and swam the reef lines which
are just rock beds covered in kelp with no coral.
There were a few fish to see along with squid,
octopi and spotted rays.
The other reviews are spot on in detailing the great
service and the friendliness of the staff.
The staff is very accommodating. Since the resort
was slow all meals were off the menu except for
two dinners that were buffet style. For us the
food was fine, we always found something to eat that
we liked. There were top shelf spirits that ran out
during the afternoon and evening. A chat with
Freddie, the GM fixed that for the most part.
This resort is a great alternative to other adult
resorts in Jamaica. Everyone gets along and has a
great time without the open promiscuous behavior.
The drinks and the food are better than any of
the other comparable priced resorts we have visited.
It is true that the resort needs updating.
This trip was still a great time and a better
bang for the buck. This resort is not smoke free,
so don't be surprised if people smoke. Also know
that clothing is not required in any of the restaurants
or grounds, for meals you only need a towel to sit on.
Most couples did cover up some for meals. This is a
nude resort so if you want hang out covered up or are
offended by someone eating in the buff you would
be better off to go somewhere else.
The only down side to our trip was the low attendance
which is expected this time of year. During our
visit there were only 4 to 5 couples there including us.
As long as the prices stay about the same we will
return when it is likely there will be more couples
"Amazing! A perfect naturist vacation!"
September 2012
We stayed at N-Resort from the 31-August to 10-September.
Words do not do this place justice. To be fair,
we like a laid back environment with the idea of
focusing on relaxation and a drink in our hands
(my husband prefers sodas). Even the smallest whisper
of wants were heard. Our room was literally on the
beach where you could walk out in the morning and
see the occasional sting ray feeding in the waters.
My husband said that this was the longest I have
ever stayed still in all of our 30 years!
If you are looking for a 5-star resort with over
the top amenities, then you will not be happy.
If you are looking for an adult retreat, where
you can relax, goof off, and enjoy a naturist
environment you will believe you have died and
gone to heaven. To be fair, we went on the
off-season, which for us - is preferable.
The amazing part is that the service never
suffered because of this. We still had entertainment,
activities and a full service restaurant.
The first positive is that the resort was the
first stop on the route. As soon as we got there,
we were shown our room and then taken to the poolside
restaurant to get us fed. O-Wayne patiently waited
while we ate and then promptly gave us a tour of the
property. The property is lush, secluded and the
buildings have a rustic feel to them. Because we
prefer to come during off season, many of the smaller
shops and such were closed. We were assured that
should we want to use the facilities, they would
open for us. While there, one of the guests
requested and received a seaside massage (and
she did look quite relaxed afterwards!)
The room was cleaned twice daily. In the evening,
the mosquito net was opened and from the response
of the other guest, sprayed for mosquitoes
(no smell was in the room). The food was good
and plentiful, and if you wanted something to
snack on during the day, the staff was accommodating
and willing to help! If you wanted more in the
fridge, they would stock to you specific desires.
Including extra bottles of your favorite beverage
if you so desire. I do not like super sweet drinks
and each of the staff members would know not to add
the simple syrup to my drink. They remembered what
you ordered to drink for lunch and when you sat down
- it was there without asking!
As an early riser, the resort would open the exercise
room up early so that I could work out and allow my
husband to sleep in. Then, when I decided to take an
early walk, Greg got up early so that I could walk
in the morning (6:30 in the morning!). We were rewarded
with seeing two octopi in the grass. We both got to
touch one of them!
Some memorable moments: Dancing with Geoffery during the
entertainment, knowing that Colette was willing to put
sunscreen on my back first thing in the morning and being
rewarded with a big hug after her few days off! Sampling
all of the different foods that Jeffery had to offer and
knowing that whatever I asked in terms of special seasoning
or style, he would comply and it would be good. O-Wayne
playing volleyball in the pool and his laugh when he hit
it over! And best of all - the waterslide! That was a blast!!!!
I disagree wholeheartedly with any of the reviews that talks
about Freddy being rude. He is business-like and professional.
He demands that the staff caters to the customer and does
so well. He never was rude or overly demanding at ANY time.
The property is still in need to fixing up, however, unlike
many of the resorts in Jamaica, I believe that N-resort is
one that is on it's way up rather than in a state of decline.
If you go with the understanding that this is more of a simple
design with great staff, good food and great atmosphere,
then you will not be disappointed! I cannot wait until next
year when we go back!
"Phenomenal, restful, 5 star cuisine,
attentive friendly staff.....better
than home away from home."
July 2012
Read above... :). If you want to enjoy
the people and flavor of Jamaica then
this resort is perfect.

Americans like their cheerleaders to be attractive, athletic girls who perform sexy gryrations on the sidelines. And England is almost exactly the same in that they kept the "gyrations" and "sidelines" part of that equation. I know this isn't the best quality video, but to me that looks like a feller dancing for Blackburn Rovers of the Premiership.
Oh man, I hate it when my Friday starts off this sexy. It's so hard to concentrate. Watch out, Shakira! There's a new set of hips that don't lie!

By KRISTIN FARLEY 6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - For many people, music is very personal. So when you buy your music equipment shouldn't it be as well? That's how two local men feel who make their own guitars and amps.
Rik's Music Store is at 8426 Kingston Pike in West Knoxville. During our time there, we were lucky enough to hear owner Rik Asher jam on one of his guitars using one of his amps.
It didn't take much to see that Asher is passionate about music. "How many times do you turn on the radio and your mood changes? Imagine if you are the person playing that music," he said.
He went on to talk about musicians striving to find their own "unique sound," and as a result he and his friend, John Brown, started making custom, personalized guitars and amplifiers.
A few years later, they formally rolled out the "Asher-Brown" product line. Together the two will tweak just about anything to help get the musician's desired effect.
Asher explained the number of things that can change the sound including, "the size of the box, the size of speaker, how many speakers."
He adds that even the kind of wood and how the joints are made will affect the sound quality.
Asher admits that Brown is the real technician behind their amps. The pair showed us the "guts" of one of their speaker/amp combos, explaining each essential element.
"I don't want to use the terms old timer," Brown said with a chuckle. "We have both been around the block a few times and we both enjoy the older style of amplifiers."
For the Asher-Brown line that means only using tubes in their amps, not transistors.
Brown says tubes allow for a warmer sound and explained the difference like this. "Carlos Santana, for instance, he is known for grabbing those notes and making them sing, making that note last for a long, long time. With a transistor amp, sometimes that is hard to do."
Another key component is the wood used for the cabinets that house the amps and speakers.
The duo uses all Tennessee white pine, much of it from Brown's family farm, and milled by his brother in Blount County.
"There is a resinous with that kind of wood and since we have access to it, it was just natural to use that kind of wood," Brown explained.
Asher says the added touch of using local pine, a tone wood preferred by lots of musicians, also helps their products stand out. "I think I speak for myself and others when I say if you can buy a product with a story behind it, it's just better."
Right now, you can buy Asher-Brown amps and guitars at Rik's Music Store and occasionally you can find them on sale online.
Asher says one day he would love to expand to other states, but he wants to stay "boutique" and never mass produce.

The Phillies Love Broxton
Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton is 2-2 with a 9.82 ERA and one save in four opportunities against the Phillies from the moment Matt Stairs' home run landed deep in the right-field bleachers at Dodger Stadium in Game 4 of the 2008 NLCS to the moment teammates mobbed Carlos Ruiz near second base last night at Citizens Bank Park.
(In between Stairs and Ruiz, Jimmy Rollins had a pretty big hit in Game 4 of the 2009 NLCS.)
The story and video from last night's unbelievable comeback.
The Zo Zone is on Facebook and Twitter. My Phillies book "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" is available online, and at Delaware Valley bookstores!

First-- there was the Target credit & debit card security breach. It seems like others keep coming to light. And then, just this week, two people traveling through our area were stopped and arrested. Police say they had numerous fake credit cards on them. They were booked on suspicion of identity theft and other charges. That story caught the attention of one local family who wonders if it's all connected-- including fraudulent charges on one of their department store cards. It's made them leary of using cards at all.
"I can't go in the stores and purchase things because I can't walk very well," said Silvilia Breaux.Silvia and Willie Breaux have been married for 61 years. A picture on the table 44 years old, shows them as they were as young and vibrant, around the time they married.
But age has taken its toll and now they welcome help from their son and daughter to take care of bills and financial matters. When Silvia's son noticed a charge on a new credit card for more than two hundred dollars, he made the monthly payment. But after talking about it with his mother and calling the company, they discovered charge was made in California. "We called and they said it was somebody in California who had made the purchase," said Breaux.Silvia is still waiting to get back money she paid. "It was $50," she said. Reporter: "Why did you pay it?" Silvia: "Well, I just pay every bill that comes in. I pay it and then I just didn't check it but my son checked it and saw that it was something we didn't buy," she said.Silvia's daughter Pat urges other older people to get help from a trusted friend or relative. "Even if it's a friend of yours that can help you out, always get somebody to check your bills to be sure that you're paying for what you're getting and not something else that somebody in another state's getting," said Pat Breaux.They also have a paper shredder that gets plenty of use."I think maybe they don't think older people pay attention to things. They don't pay attention to their cards or their money. They're more careless," said Silvia. Often when you are at a department store about to make purchases the cashier will ask, 'Do you have one of our store credit cards?' and offer an incentive if you fill out a paper to get one. But the older Mrs. Breaux is one lady who answers no to that question. " I'm cutting my credit cards up. Reporter: Why? I can buy cash. If I need it bad enough I can pay cash for it," she said.
So, for the Breauxs, recent security breaches have left them feeling insecure when it comes to paying with plastic. It's also important to carefully review the details on the back of your credit card or bank statements so you understand your responsibilities when it comes to promptly reporting errors or charges you didn't make.

Shleifer, Andrei and Robert W. Vishny, "Liquidation Values and Debt Capacity: A Market Equilibrium Approach", Journal of Finance, Vol. 47, No. 4, (September 1992), pp. 1343-1366.
Abstract: We explore the determinants of liquidation values of assets, particularly focusing on the potential buyers of assets. When a firm in financial distress needs to sell assets, its industry peers are likely to be experiencing problems themselves, leading to asset sales at prices below value in best use. Such illiquidity makes assets cheap in bad times, and so ex ante variation in debt capacity across industries and over the business cycle, as well as the rise in U.S. corporate leverage in the 1980s.

I've been desperate to get this up – it's a great example of the 'disaffected' customer doing something way beyond anything that a letter to the complaints department can do. Canadian singer Dave Carroll spent over 9 months being passed from department to department after he complained to United Airlines after they damaged his $3500 guitar.
The poor response from United Airlines meant that Dave reaped his revenge by producing a song and video with his band retelling the story. Although United have now apparently offered compensation, the damage has clearly been done!
His video has been hit by over 4 million and it's been claimed that it cost United $180 million drop in share value!
There are 2 more songs to come apparently – so it's not over yet for United!
I've said it before – dealing with 'disappointed' customers appropriately is critical. People generally accept that things go wrong – it's how we deal with that that counts. Not dealing with 'disapointment' results in 'disaffected' customers.
Yes, 'Delighted' and 'Devoted' Customers will typically sing your praises which is great. 'Disaffected' customers will typically sing your 'malaises', and as Dave shows they tend to sing 'louder'!

We have been moving from Novell to Microsoft for a couple years company wide. Until now, other than outlook, the apps were all local with the data being moved from a Novell server to a 2008R2 server. A week ago we moved our final drive which
was three apps the run .exe's from the server directories. Out of 300 PCs - all replaced in the last year based on ghosts - about 25 took ten minutes to run an app from the shortcut. All the other PCs don't have the trouble. I first went
to that vendor but after troubleshooting, I realized they had slow connections to any windows drives. They were fine hitting the Novell drives. I'm guessing since they only pulled documents from the MS drives until now, the slowdown wasn't felt.
Running the larger exe is where the problem started to show. I've tried many things I found online so far to no resolution. These things include:
autotuning set to restricted, normal or disabled
turned smb2 off/on
turned RDC off/on
set NIC to autonegotiate
Not server or switch based as good PC is sometimes in the cube right beside bad pc.
ran windows update
same NIC drv between good and bad PCs
Any ideas where to go next? Thanks for your help!
Do you have only internal DNS servers listed in the IP client settings (or option 6 from DHCP) of all workstations and servers?
Is the Novell client still installed?
Have you checked your Binding order in the network adapters window advanced settings dialog box?
Before going further, what's the operating systems of these workstations?
The following article focuses on slow network performance when opening a file located in a shared folder on a remote computer, and may be worth taking
a look at.

Have you seen the ads from The Meth Project? According to the program's website, the organization's goal is to "communicate the risks of Meth use." Risks Amanda Enyart took for many years.
She still remembers being offered the drug for the first time in 2003. "I just didn't realize what the effect that meth was really going to have on my life, when I said yeah," she says. The effect was devastating. At the time she was a single mother of two: a three year old girl and a baby boy.
She says she used meth as an escape from what seemed like unbearable problems. "I always searched for that high," she says. She says she kept the cooks from making meth in front of her kids for years until she hit rock bottom around Christmas of 2006. "The whole time I was using, I never let anybody make it around my home or my children, and in the last two weeks everything I never did, I did."
Amanda remembers driving her kids to daycare on January 2, 2007. "I dropped them off and I said, 'I'll see you guys later.' I didn't see them for almost six months," she says.
DCS took the kids away and an ISP trooper took Amanda to jail. She eventually went down state, where she served a little over three months in prison. That's when she vowed to change her life. "I was not going back. I knew that I was going to do whatever I had to do, " she says. "I had no clue what that was going to be at the time, but I knew I did not want that lifestyle."
The solution was a lot of hard work. She went to the YWCA, had great counselors, and even contacted the trooper who arrested her to say thanks. Now she and that same trooper travel to schools together to warn kids about the dangers of drugs. "I feel like I have a story that could save somebody's life," she says. "I don't do this for me. I do this for somebody that needs to hear it."
She knows what it's like to feel trapped, like she couldn't walk away from her drug problem. That is why she set up a program at the Marshall County jail. She uses a webcam to talk to female inmates about breaking free from addiction. "The progress they're making is amazing," she says.
Amanda is making tremendous progress as well. She's had a steady job for about five years, got married in 2011, and is now a busy mom raising her two children. She's enjoying every minute of her new journey. "I didn't become an addict overnight. I didn't destroy my life overnight. It takes every day. One day at a time for me to build up who I am today."

|Jennifer Josef, ILGA-ASIA
|Jennifer Josef, ILGA-ASIA
The Bombay High Court cleared the path for 21-year-old Bidhan Barua to undergo a sex change surgery. Bidhan had approached the court after his family threatened him against the surgery. The 21-year old spoke to IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai on how difficult his battle has been.
Following is an excerpt from Rajdeep Sardesai's interview with Bidhan Barua:
Rajdeep Sardesai: Bidhan, you virtually went against your family for this sex change operation, how difficult was the process?
Bidhan Barua: If a child is born with any disability and if the parents are not supportive from the childhood and rather they threaten him/her badly, what else will be his reaction? They had crossed the limit. I don't care about what they think and what they don't.
Rajdeep Sardesai: Why did you need a sex change in the first place? The law already allows same sex companionship. Why go to the court then?
Bidhan Barua: Yes it is already allowed. But I needed to appeal to the court because they had threatened the doctor, following which the doctor had stopped performing the surgery. This was the reason I had to appeal for an immediate reply and an immediate order.

I did a live consultation with Big Business a few weeks ago in NYC. Big Biz is really knows his shit. I had a bunch of questions for him, all of which he had very insightful solutions for me. I have been having some sticking points with my game lately and I really needed the opinion of someone who knows what they were talking about.
Big Business Live Consult - NYC June 2008
I took a bootcamp back in April in NYC with The Don, Cajun, and Big Business. I got to work with and see Big Business a lot and I was definitely impressed. He is an excellent people person, extremely funny, and has the natural ability to make people feel comfortable when having a conversation with him. I guess in a nutshell he's a really cool dude who's good with girls.
After three months in the game, some of my sticking points were not physically escallating enough, the structure of my day two's, and my approach anxiety. We dealt with each of these issues and I received a lot of great insight from him. We talked a lot about inner game stuff as well. He helped me work out some issues I was having in my head about one night stands. I've never had a problem having one night stands with HB6's and HB7's, but i got into the game for quality, not quantity. I could personally care less about one night stands. I'm 32 and I'm looking for something a little more then that. He had some great insight for me regarding this issue.
The approach anxiety thing is something that has gotten me down at times also over the past three months. We went over some things I could do about that also.
Overall, it was a HUGE help for me. I highly recommend Big Biz to anyone looking for assistance with their game. He is a great teacher. It was a giant confidence booster for me.

Nicole Kidman, James Franco to Star in 'Sweet Bird' on Broadway
Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" swept the awards weekend with wins at all the Guilds: Screen Actors, Producers, Directors.
by Roger Friedman, Showbiz411.com
Yes, James Franco and Nicole Kidman are headed to Broadway this fall for Tennessee Williams's "Sweet Bird of Youth."
Showbiz411.com first reported the possibility the two stars would team up on stage back in November. Now, Franco and Kidman are committed to 'Sweet Bird' and Scott Rudin is set to produce. Rehearsals will be scheduled around Franco's fall classes at Yale.
Both Kidman and Franco are nominated for Oscars this month. It doesn't look like either will win, but that's just the circumstances. Each turned in winning performances. Franco's "127 Hours" is getting an awards month push by Fox Searchlight. See this movie! It's not about someone cutting off their arm–that scene is seconds short and at the end of the film. It's about life and survival. "127 Hours" is a great film.
Kidman does her best work in "Rabbit Hole." It's a fine film adaptation of an award winning play. Nicole scores a coup in "Rabbit Hole." And the whole cast — Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest, Tammy Blanchard, Miles Teller – deserve kudos.
Roger Friedman writes for Showbiz411.com

January 15, 2003
Dougherty County --As the United States military deploys thousands of troops and tons of equipment to the Persian Gulf, keeping track of it all is a tremendous challenge. The Albany Marine Base plays a vital role in making sure combat soldiers have the gear needed if war begins.
Lead Industrial Specialist Rita Merritt is making sure ground combat vehicles have been serviced before delivery to the Persian Gulf. From her computer at Albany's Marine Base, Merritt is one of 30 workers running the Corps Master Work Schedule.
A global computer tracking system, their job is to coordinate the Marines' combat equipment, from pistols to tanks. To move the equipment where it is needed, and make sure it stays in working order. The Chief of Staff of the Marine Logistics Bases, Colonel Peter Underwood said " We can't speculate on potential operations. We like to say that we can go anywhere at a moment's notice. So it is very vital at all times."
The Albany base monitors and commands the two Marine Depots in Albany and Barstow, California. The Maintenance Center repairs and refurbishes the Marines equipment on a regular schedule. The Master Work Schedule group keeps track of the equipment, financially and engineering, to maximize it's effectiveness.
Colonel Underwood said "At certain points we see it needs to be repaired, just like your car. It comes into our depots, we repair it, and send it back out to the users." As the military continues deployment to the Persian Gulf, and the possibility of war increases, people at the Albany Marine Base are busy making sure they have the equipment needed for action.
The Master Work Scheduling system controls and coordinates 180 million dollars in repair work at the two Marine Depots in Albany and Barstow.

"Cory Gardner is sponsoring a bill to ban all abortions right now."
Ed Gillespie "supports a personhood amendment."
"Teenage births cost Texas taxpayers $1.1 billion in health care, foster care and lost tax revenue in 2010 alone."
Says Hillary Clinton's health care plan from the 1990s "had a broader provision in favor of corporate right to back out" of providing contraceptive coverage than the one created by the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision.
"Justin Amash is rated Michigan's No. 1 conservative" by National Right to Life.
"A salesclerk at Hobby Lobby who needs contraception … is not going to get that service through her employer's health care plan because her employer doesn't think she should be using contraception."
Says Cory Gardner "championed an eight-year crusade to outlaw birth control here in Colorado."
"In 2005, Dan Branch tried to expand third-trimester abortions in Texas."
Says he hasn't changed his view on abortion restrictions.
"Women take birth control, more than half of them, as a medication for other conditions."
Millennials are "more pro-life than baby boomers and older Americans."
Girl Scouts USA's curriculum "promotes Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, Betty Friedan, founder of NARAL Prochoice, and other pro-abortion women as icons for our children to emulate."
The "U.S. has the highest unintended pregnancy rate of any Western industrialized country."
A bill backed by Sean Duffy and other House Republicans "could actually require the Internal Revenue Service to conduct audits of rape victims" who get an abortion.

In the past three years, state legislatures have "enacted more of these restrictions (on abortion) than in the previous 10 years combined."
"State Rep. Kathleen Peters has a 100 percent pro-abortion voting record – even voting against a ban on sex-selection abortions."
Says Chris Christie "vetoed Planned Parenthood funding five times over the course of his governorship."
Gov. Lincoln Chafee has imposed "a mandatory abortion fee" on all Rhode Islanders who buy health insurance through the state's Obamacare exchange.
"Wendy Davis opposes any limits on abortion."

Updated on August 15th at 6:55 p.m.:
The son of the boat owner, who like his father wished to not be named in this article, noted that the boat formerly stranded at Silver Sands has been towed to Milford BoatWorks.
The boat owner's son said that "we won't know until tomorrow" if the boat is in complete disrepair.
The towing strategy lines up with the plan Marine Science Technician Scott Baumgartner of the U.S. Coast Guard suggested would take place earlier today.
Baumgartner said that they would likely "wait for high tide, float it with air bags and tow it."
Baumgartner was on the scene today as a pollution responder for the Long Island Sound.
"A sea tow tried to pull the vessel and the keel snapped," said Baumgartner, who went on to note that the diesel spill was on the lighter end. "It spreads out and burns up rapidly."
Baumgartner noted that Milford Fire Department had placed sorbent next to the boat to help with pollution concerns. "It absorbs the oil and not the water," he explained.
Baumgartner said that the plan is to "wait for high tide, float it with air bags and tow it."
Original Story:
A one-manned boat with engine trouble finds itself stranded on a sand bar at this Wednesday afternoon.
"A sea tow was going to pull me over," said the boat's operator, who requested that his name not be printed.
"The gentleman lost power," said , providing a reason why the boat could not move.
Before the tow could reach the boat, "catastrophic damage" was caused to the keel, according to Healey.
The keel "snapped from the bottom" said the boat's operator, as he was trying to "pull off the sand bar."
Milford Patch Neighborhood Gallery contributor Anne Weizel was down at Silver Sands taking pictures. Anne had heard similar reports of "engine trouble" and that the vehicle had "started drifting."
A crowd is currently gathered on the sand bar. No plan has been enacted as to how the boat will be moved, though Healey suggested that a "salvage company" will likely retrieve it.
We will bring you more information on this story as it becomes available.

CMBS Prices Crushed as Loan Woes Emerge
The commercial MBS market's freefall continued yesterday as the third large loan in a week was suddenly transferred to special servicing.
With investors worried about the possibility of other nasty surprises, demand for bonds was virtually nonexistent, causing prices to plunge to unprecedented levels. "There is little to stop the cratering of prices now," said one investor. "No one wants to throw himself in front of this moving train of a market."
Spreads on super-senior triple-A paper shot out to a record 1,600 bp over swaps on Thursday, before pulling in to 1,525 bp. The benchmark bonds were trading at just 49 cents on the dollar, translating to an eye-popping 18% yield. Just a week ago, the same bonds were trading at 74 cents on the dollar, or an 11% yield and an average spread of 810 bp. That means the paper's value plunged by one-third in a week.
The loans collateralizing the bond transactions would have to suffer a 30% loss before the super-senior bonds would be affected. The fact that such securities were commanding 18% yields suggests that the market is pricing in an economic depression. Meanwhile, the cost of buying protection against defaults has skyrocketed (see article on Page 3).
The latest leg of the long-running downturn was touched off last week when U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson officially pulled the plug on the idea of having the government buy billions of dollars of structured bonds. It accelerated on Tuesday when it became known that two large commercial mortgages originated in the second half of last year had been transferred to special servicing: a $209 million loan on Westin hotels in Tucson, Ariz., and Hilton Head, S.C., and a $125 million loan on a shopping center in Corona, Calif. (see article on Page 3).
Yesterday came word that a third large loan package - $94 million of loans to a tenant-in-common partnership on multi-family, office and retail properties - was added to special servicing, further roiling the market.
Investors have long been worried that CMBS defaults, which have remained low, would eventually spike. But signs that three large loans originated only last year were in trouble spooked the market, especially since neither the rating agencies nor servicers had warned of potential problems. The loans were all in deals that priced this year.
"Everyone was caught by surprise," an investor said. "I didn't expect there to be problems with a 2008 CMBS deal so quickly. This was just a shock."
Some thought the market overreacted. S&P noted that the borrower of the shopping-center loan was seeking to raise capital to cover loan payments. And the transfer of the latest loan to special servicing appeared to result because of the bankruptcy filing by tenant-in-common sponsor DBSI. It was not immediately clear that there are problems with the underlying properties.
Nonetheless, investors were ready to run at any sign of trouble. The news yesterday of the DBSI loan being transferred to special servicing "added fuel to a burning fire," said an analyst.
There was equally dramatic widening of spreads in the synthetic CMBX market. On Thursday, the super-senior triple-A spread of Series 5 of the CMBX index closed at 847.5 bp Thursday, up nearly threefold from 306.1 a week before. A trader said there was heavy buying of triple-A CMBX contracts by bank proprietary desks, hedge funds and money managers. Demand was spurred by investors seeking to buy protection against CMBS defaults effectively shorting the market.
The widening of CMBX spreads added to the pressure on cash bonds. "The dramatic move in spreads is being led mainly by the onslaught of buyers of protection higher up in the CMBX credit stack," said Lisa Pendergast, managing director of CMBS strategy at RBS Greenwich Capital.
"Reasons for getting short the sector range from concerns over commercial real estate fundamentals to the growing difficulties in refinancing maturing commercial debt. The spread action has been exacerbated by the growing illiquidity into yearend as both the sell-side and buy-side look to shed risk. While a short-covering rally can't be ruled out, further widening is likely into yearend."

WASHINGTON, Ill -- Two neighbors are taking the 'Griswold' approach to Christmas.
Andy Schmidgall and Dan Richardson, who call themselves Clark and Eddie, are bringing the 'Christmas Vacation' holiday spirit to Washington, Illinois.
They say the competition started three years ago and has grown ever since.
"I just said we'll wait till after Christmas get lights on sale and then my wife saw he put lights up and she said, 'you can't let him out do you' so that started basically the light arms race that we're living in now," said Richardson.
Schmidgall said, "Everybody seems to love it. The streets are always busy; usually there is 4 or 5 cars sitting out here at any time."
Schmidgall said it took him three days to string all his lights. Across the street, Richardson says he has 100 hours in just the sequencing of music and lights.
They say all the lights are LED and very energy efficient.
Both are already planning how they will make next year bigger and brighter.

The Next-to-Next-to-Last Man Standing

Like the indefatigable Ron Paul of Texas, Fred Karger — the first openly gay candidate in history to seek the GOP presidential nomination — is still running hard, hoping for a modestly surprising showing in California's June 5 primary. Karger, who has barely been a footnote in the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes, has been touring his native California […]

So, I don't live in Indy anymore. I am up in the Northwoods called Minneapolis, MN. Anyways, it is hard to get updates / local insight on the tertiary guys. Two guys I really want to know about are Jamie Thomas and Jacques McClendon. I knew each was a project guy when they were drafted with McClendon being a mauler and Thomas being a body that could develop quite nicely.
Specifically, I remember Polian saying when they drafted Thomas he could be guy that could be a RG or RT in a few years. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything on these two guys. Obviously, McClendon showed up once or twice last season, but that was about it.
My assumption would be, "If you ain't seen 'em, there's a reason."

This 80-inch self-portrait of Andy Warhol sold Wednesday, May 15, 2002, for $3.1 million at an auction at Sotheby's in New York. It was the highest price paid at auction for a Warhol self-portrait up until that point. Five Andy Warhol paintings were among the top 10 sellers at the Sotheby's Holdings Inc. auction of contemporary art, bringing a total of $12.3 million. Which is nothing compared to the $105 million sale yesterday. Bloomberg
The UpTake: Now that entrepreneurs have embraced the idea of following their passion, business and art are more similar than they've ever been before, as these Warhol quotes make very clear.
From 1962 to 1984 American pop-artist Andy Warhol created art ranging from oil paintings to abstract films in three studios collectively called The Factory, in Manhattan, New York. Yesterday one of Warhol's paintings from that time, Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster) sold for $105 million, the most a Warhol painting has ever sold for.
Complementary to Andy Warhol's iconoclastic view on life, which included such doozies as "I am a deeply superficial person," Andy had an amazing business sense, that in many ways reminds us of a prolific creator of our own time, angel investor Dave McClure.
Below are five quotes attributed to Andy Warhol, that could just as easily have come from the mouth of McClure, the founder of another "factory," known as 500 Startups:
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.
