Friesian Horse
The little girl that never got her pony.
Most every little girl grew up wanting a horse or pony at some point, and the majority of them never experienced the joy of receiving one. Light up her life by making that long-forgotten dream come true. The Friesian horse is known for its dramatic looks and high price tag. The black, thick-maned horse with Dutch lineage is a versatile animal that will be comfortable doing everything from dressage to recreational riding to driving. A look at the Friesian Horse Association of North America's classifieds reveals prices that range mostly between $7,500 and $50,000.

The Miami Herald recently interviewed Bobby Roode to promote this Sunday's Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Among other topics, Roode discussed his upcoming match with Kurt Angle in the excerpt below:
"Having the opportunity to step into the main event – the biggest stage in TNA's history, Bound for Glory, in Philadelphia on Sunday – to face the greatest wrestler in the world, Kurt Angle, for something that I've wanted, something I've dreamed about my entire life, to become a world champion, was definitely overwhelming, and I knew that the hard work was about to begin. The last five weeks I've been busting my a– in the gym, studying tapes and preparing myself for Kurt Angle." Roode also discussed his run with Beer Money, Inc. and the future of his team with James Storm:
"We had a great run the last four years and really solidified our names with some of the greatest tag teams of all-time. I think James and I knew the day would come that we would go our separate ways, but that's not to say Beer Money will never reunite and have another great run. I think now James and I are at the point in our careers that we're ready to step outside tag team wrestling and prove to the world, what we've known all along, that we're true main eventers, and we can go toe-to-toe with anybody in the world. I think we're getting that opportunity right now." Click here to read the full article.

Diet Pills
Contact Us
Alli- The Usage Direction
Represented as an innovative
weight loss
program, Alli is the only
approved, over-the-counter weight loss product With
, you can lose about 50% more weight than with just dieting alone.
Alli directions to use- How you should take the drug
For overweight adults 18 and older, take 1 capsule with each meal containing fat. Use with a reduced calorie, low-fat diet and
exercise program
until you reach your
weight loss
goal. Most
weight loss
occurs in the first 6 months.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Alli blocks about 25% of the fat you eat. Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But, the active ingredient in Alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories.
How to take the Alli Pills
By cutting your fat calorie intake and lowering your portion size you usually begin to lose weight anyway. By adding Alli to your
weight loss
program you will see your weight loss increases by 50%! that's really incredible.
One difference should be noticed right off the bat between
and some of the other well known over the counter weight loss pills is the emphasis that Alli puts on starting a balanced diet, low in fat calories prior to starting the
Alli weight loss pill
program. GlaxoSmithKline lets it be known that the only way Alli is going to work for you is if you cut your fat intake as well as limit your portion size. That is quite a difference from the usual…"take this wonder pill and automatically lose weight" type of advertising
What if you missed the Dose
If you miss a dose of Alli, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular
dosing schedule
. Do not take 2 doses at once.
The ideal candidate for Alli drug
Ideal candidates are individuals who are overweight and are motivated and ready to make lifestyle changes. They have realistic expectations for gradual, modest weight loss. These individuals are committed to a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet (no more than 15 grams of fat per meal) and eating smaller portions. An ideal candidate for alli will read and follow the label directions. They understand that treatment effects (loose or more frequent stools that may be hard to control, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, gas with oily spotting) can occur if they eat too much fat in a meal while taking alli. Lastly, these individuals will make the time to be more physically active.
Its Storage
The pill is stored at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C Store away from heat, moisture, and light.
Keep Alli out of the reach of children and away from pets

What PA? can offer you the perfect solution if
you're looking for a new PA System for your school or college, or if you need to
upgrade your old one. Most enquiries are made by PTA members or
teachers who don't necessarily know too much about PA systems so don't worry
about getting in touch, we won't baffle you with technical jargon!
Whether you need it for small Primary School assemblies and
plays or a large Secondary School or College staging
presentation ceremonies, concerts and talent shows with wanna-be rock bands,
we can help.
We can also offer advice on the best portable systems if you need to be able
to move it around, and also on systems suitable for use outdoor use at Sports
Days and fetes.
Once you've settled on your PA System Package you can
add on the
microphones, stands, CD players and accessories you need. We also offer an installation service in our local area of
Essex should you need it;
please call for details.
Complete our
Enquiry Form below, and one of
us will get back to you with some recommendations for PA equipment and
Give us a ring
on 01375 892317 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Most school enquiries are made by
PTA members or school secretaries who don't necessarily know too much about
PA systems - don't worry, we won't baffle you with
technical jargon! We will only call if you ask us to, and we won't pass your
email address on to anyone else.
If your existing PA system needs upgrading, just
drop us an email with the spec of the existing system and what you feel is
wrong with it. The most common problems are: no capacity for more microphones, not loud
enough, microphone signal dropping out, crackly, not compact or portable enough... can
you add to the list? We can suggest what you could add to the system or what could be
replaced, saving you money if you don't need a complete new PA system.
What size system do you need? As a guide to
how many watts of power you might need, we would recommend 1 watt per
audience member for the spoken word, and 2-3 watts per audience member if
you are also playing music. If you have a large stage and will be hosting
Live bands you may need more.
Click for
more advice ...
What size speakers do you need? 10" speakers
are fine for the spoken word. If you are amplifying keyboards or will have
music from a CD player or iPod then you will be better off with 12"
speakers. If you have vocalists on stage you might need to consider stage
Wired or wireless microphones? We'd always
recommend wireless radio mics for Schools as it's safer not to have wires to
trip over.

system please visit the

Nice one. We focus on tech markets and our experience definitely supports these findings. Tech buyers are natural web searchers, content consumers and self-educators. Not feeding them the goodies they need is a sin against the Gods of B2B.
In October, TechTarget released A Profile of TechTarget's Hyper-active IT Researchers, a report providing insight into the media consumption habits of the media publisher's most active users. These users are the folks conducting research about technology products and services they might purchase. TechTarget sent a survey to its most active users (those in the top 30%), and 1,765 submitted their answers. TechTarget followed up with select interviews of a subset of the respondents.
The research highlights that these hyper-active researchers:
- Are constantly hunting for and gathering information
- Agree that content is most relevant to them as it relates to their place in the buying cycle
- Average 5-20 activities per day when in research mode, including reading articles/visiting pages on websites, downloading content from vendors, clicking email newsletter links, etc.
- Will download and catalog information they may not get to for a while but know they will need in a later stage
- Are often researching on behalf of others within their companies
- Consume white papers throughout the buying process, and turn to vendor comparisons and trial software in later stages
- Spend a majority of the research process in the consideration stage
- Are most receptive to completing a registration form in exchange for content during the consideration and decision stages
According to TechTarget, one of the key takeaways from the research is that "It not only validates the continued need to map your online content to match stages, but the necessity to have all stage-related material ready simultaneously should your sponsorship of it intersect with the "ravenous appetite" of this target audience. The reality is that if your content is not available for them to proactively download and/or store away then whoever's is will be chosen for the "grand catalogues" of information that these buyers are constantly building and referring to along their purchase paths."
This insight is critical as marketers plan their content strategy. They must acknowledge that it's not sufficient to produce content in a piecemeal fashion. Instead, they need to develop content that addresses concerns and questions at each stage of the buying cycle and make it available simultaneously. Startups in particular should take note, as they are often so eager to get to market that they launch without all necessary content in place.
Just as important, the findings underscore the need to be aware of the content that prospects have downloaded. Otherwise lead nurturing efforts can fall flat as marketers try to offer content/information that the prospective buyer has already stored away.
Stay tuned for my next post featuring an interview with Marilou Barsam, Senior Vice President of Client and Corporate Marketing for TechTarget. She'll share further insights from TechTarget's interviews with the participants in the survey.
In the meantime, feel free to download the report along with presentations from TechTarget's Online ROI Summit, covering the report findings and more.

You said it, Doug! With these insights, marketers can strike the perfect balance of content creation/promotion, registration, and lead nurturing. My interview with Marilou will provide more detail around those issues. Thanks for stopping by!
Very interesting insights!
But those hyper-active researchers only represent 30%. And since they are already looking for information online, it will be fairly easy for your content to get 'found'.
Although my company sells B2B software, I find it hard to find IT buyers that are that active. They are used to email newsletters and pdf manuals. But blogs and whitepapers are still a very new thing to them.
Not sure about the percentages within our industry but I guess there are more than those 70% of passive researchers.
Would you say this has to do with the maturity of the industry or do they just use the internet in a different way?
Hi Dennis -
The 30% represents the most active researchers in the TechTarget network; the other 70% are still active but not performing as many activities on a daily basis. This likely means the 30% are much more pressed to make a technology purchase than the 70%. While it certainly helps the case of getting found when researchers are actively seeking information, marketers still need to be in tune with what search terms researchers are using, and what information they're seeking at each stage of the buying cycle.
It's interesting that you're not seeing much demand for white papers. A few tech-focused studies have found that white papers are sought by technology buyers (see the first two links under 'Related Posts' above). I visited the link you provided but can't tell what company you work for/industry you're in so it's hard to answer your question.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Great info here Stephanie - an idea for follow-up would be a mapping study. Would love to know if the content marketers choose for various buying cyles maps to what tech buyers consider relevant info in those same cycles. Interested to see how on or off target we marketers can be...how helpful it would be to get everyone on the same page. Thanks for the post!
Ericka - Glad you found value in this post! A few companies - including TechTarget - have researched the mapping issue. Here are some resources:
TechTarget's 2009 Media Consumption Benchmark Report 2: Closing the Gap between IT Buyers and IT Marketers -- This report charts the differences and similarities in the usage of online content types and information sources during the buying process between IT buyers and marketers. You can access it from this URL (scroll down to the Technology Marketing Reports section): http://www.techtarget.com/html/faas_res_index.htm. Note the chart on page 4.

Just yesterday, I came across the following posted by Sherbrooke Balser in the Tech Marketing Best Practices group on LinkedIn: "UBM TechWeb is launching new research next month on what type of content IT Buyers use and think about both vendor supplied content and 3rd party content from information sources like InformationWeek. I will post for everyone to review." Here's a link to TechWeb's research page: http://createyournextcustomer.techweb.com/category/market-research/

The eagerly anticipated sixth season of The Real Housewives of New York City will return to Bravo tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11th at 9:00 p.m.
A new episode of The Real Housewives of New York City has not aired since October, 2012. Although season 6 was supposed to start filming in January, 2013, it suffered numerous delays after cast members banded together to get an increase in salary. After numerous delays in filming, 5 of the 6 Real Housewives from last season returned, with original Real Housewife, LuAnn de Lesseps unable to agree to a contract with Bravo in time to film for the entire season. As a result, LuAnn has been downgraded to a "Friend of the Housewives."
In Season 6 we will meet new housewife, Kristen Taekman, a former model and friend of Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Brandi Glanville.
In Season 6 we will see original Real Housewife, Ramona Singer, deal with her daughter Avery going off to college; fabulous Sonja Morgan launch her company, Sonja in the City; Carole Radziwill write/release her latest book "The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating"; Heather Thomson continue to run her Yummy Tummy empire; and Aviva Drescher fight with all of the other housewives.
Will you be tuning in for Season 6 of The Real Housewives of New York City?

I had a follow-up visit with my doctor this morning.
My blood work from last week determined that my potassium level is a bit too high.
Something could have happened in the analysis of the blood.
Or perhaps I'm taking in too much potassium.
Raisins? Nope!
Bananas? Nope!
Tomatoes? Bingo!
I eat a lot of baby tomatoes.
I did another blood test while I was there to see what's going on.

Let Them Eat Tastykake
One of biggest—if overlooked—beneficiaries of Tasty Baking Co.'s deal with Flowers Foods to avert bankruptcy could well the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers.
That's because every time a Flyer scores a goal, he gets "a case of Tastykakes." Actually, the snacks go to the goal scorer's favorite charity. Which is probably a good thing, because a case of Butterscotch Krimpets—18 boxes with six packages per box, according to Tasty Baking—could slow you down if you're on skates.
The Philly bakery has long been a booster to the town's hockey club and the tradition dates back to 1970s. Old-timers fondly remember Hall of Fame announcer Gene Hart's legendary goal call, "He shoots, he scores—for a case of Tastykakes!"
With the Flyers set to face the Buffalo Sabres this week in the NHL playoffs, Philly's snipers can take heart that their supply of Krimpets, Kandy Kakes and Tasty Klair Pies will continue to flow uninterrupted. Watch out, Ryan Miller!

This is a site devoted to helping people find Canard Airplanes, whether plans, good projects or finished, flying airplanes. There are about 5000 of these planes around the world, most in the United States. Being the work of loving individuals they are each a piece of art - some great art, some good art, most structurally sound and a few worth avoiding.
Most buyers want to travel around and experience the planes themselves. In fact, with a little work you can easily find about 5 canards of about any type and you might in time find a good one in that bunch just that way. However there are, at any one time, literally dozens of planes coming on line, and the very best ones go very quickly while the inexperienced buyer spends a lot of time and money going out to look those few that are available only to learn that there were better planes available, or the find out that they really need a different canard to accomplish the mission.
It is very much more efficient for us to find you the better planes along with a good inspector who can confirm their attributes and then yourself going so see the very best ones for your mission. In doing so we should get you to the best planesfirst, or possibly steer you away from one with a concern that will later sour your purchase; or talk you out of getting a Canard you really won't like with the mission you have in mind.
Many sellers come to us first to explore the decision to sell - so we often have a jump on the best planes out there. If you already know about a plane, we don't charge you anything to put it up against the list and see if it the best option for you.
We don't charge to give you information about any of the types of canards, their costs, the inspectors available, the instructors available or any number of other details about these wonderful airplanes.
No matter how wonderfully Canards fly, we are not shy about telling you if the plane is wrong for your mission. For a small finder's fee, we help you pick which canard might be best for you.

FRESNO, Calif. -- The Red Wave is asked to visit The Bulldog Shop at the northwest corner of Cedar and Barstow Avenues on Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to sign a life-size Paul George get well card. Overflow parking will be available in the Red Lot at the southwest corner of the intersection.
George, who played at Fresno State from 2008-10, was representing the United States in a USA Basketball Showcase in Las Vegas Friday night when he went up for a block and was unable to land. George's right leg was fractured when he hit the stanchion close to the court causing the serious leg injury. George had successful surgery late Friday evening and is expected to remain in the hospital for the next few days.
"Thanks everybody for the love and support... I'll be ok and be back better than ever!!! Love y'all!! #YoungTrece," @Paul_George24 tweeted from the hospital in Las Vegas.
All Bulldog fans are invited to sign the 6-foot-9 inch tall photo of Paul on Tuesday and can also turn in their own get well cards, which Fresno State Athletics will send directly to Paul as he begins his recovery process.
"We've seen a huge outpouring from the community about Paul so we wanted to provide opportunity for our fans to share their get well messages," Senior Associate Athletics Director Paul Ladwig said. "We've heard from so many of our Bulldog alumni like Travis Brown, Joe Bernardi, Larry Abney and Chris Herren that have already reached out to Paul. Others like Derek and David Carr, Trent Dilfer, and Nick Watney send their support and well wishes. Especially during difficult times like this, the Red Wave rallies behind our 'Dogs and shows what it means to be Bulldog Born and Bulldog Bred."
Fans are also encouraged to tweet @Paul_George24 and comment on the "Fresno State Athletics" Facebook and Instagram pages with their support for Paul.
"Paul George is an incredible ambassador for our university and basketball program," Fresno State head men's basketball coach Rodney Terry said. "We are all there for him and his family. We're coming together as a community to show how much we love him."
Paul George Get Well Signing
Date: Tuesday, August 5
Time: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT
Where: Fresno State Bulldog Shop (Northwest Corner of Cedar and Barstow Avenues)
Note: Overflow parking will be available in the Red Lot at the southwest corner of the intersection of Cedar and Barstow Avenues.

Team Genesis 2 Chapter 2Chapter 2: TensionTeam Genesis 2 Chapter 2 by marjosonic
Rocco laid on the couch, trying to take short breaths and keep his eyes closed. He didn't want to sleep, but at least this moment eased him. Being back home, he figured he might as well try to calm himself down. A warm aroma filled the air, brining a smile to his face. "That smells nice," he said. Alexis arrived with a bowl of soup. His mom never minded having Alexis around. It was hard for people who got to know Alexis not to love her, Rocco thought. She could stay the whole night, and his mom wouldn't think anything wrong of it. It was fortunate for him in that aspect.
"Here, say 'Ahh,'" Alexis said as she fed the weary Lynx. The warm soup was invigorating. This wasn't an ordinary recipe though. Out of nowhere, Rocco could feel his energies return to him. It was only with one spoonful. There's no way a soup cou
Team Genesis 2 Chapter 1Chapter 1: OverheatTeam Genesis 2 Chapter 1 by marjosonic
A city ablaze; the cries of children; the anguish of the people all around; it weighed heavy on a beaten Rocco. He could only watch as everything crumbled before him. He doesn't know where he is, but he feels the pain of everyone around him. The words "You promised" painfully echoed in his head, as he felt his own body burn. Sinister voices followed them, calling him a failure and weak. Rocco felt the tears in his eyes, trying to get up and prove all of them wrong. But the words were too strong. He felt his body burst in flames. There was nothing more he could do. He heard people crying his name. Milton…. Milton…. Milton….
Rocco awoke in a startling gasp. His body was burning inside, but there was no fire. There was no anguish. Just the eyes of a disapproving professor and worried classmates. Rocco could fe
One Day with my Best FriendElectra left the bathroom and entered the bedroom in her towel. Laid out on the bed was her Extreme Gear riding outfit: Long, skin tight black and blue pants, a matching vest and gloves, a white tube top, and black, blue, and yellow riding shoes. It had been a while since she's ridden her Extreme Gear. And it'll technically be the first time she's ridden with her close friend, Damian the Chameleon. Wanting to see her old friend, she was glad that he was able to take some time to hang out with her. Life had been busy, and it was great to be able to have some fun again.One Day with my Best Friend by marjosonic
She took her towel off and slipped on her panties and pants. Just as she reached for her bra, the door swung open. Electra turned and looked out the corner of her eyes. Damian was standing right there, suddenly paralyzed with his eyes wide open. Realizing she hadn't finished putting her bra on, Electra panicked and screamed. Taking h

What's it like to re-imagine a world that's been in readers' imaginations for 15 years and also portrayed on the silver screen? How does it feel to take a classic and give it your own artistic spin while keeping it authentic for fans? Those were the challenges faced by illustrator Kazu Kibuishi, who Scholastic chose to reinvent the Harry Potter book covers for the 15th anniversary.
Click the video accompanying this article for an interview with Kibuishi. Even though he was reluctant to take on such a big challenge at first, he soon embraced the task and came out with fresh artwork that gives the books a new twist for the next generation of readers while still staying true to the classic nature of the material.
If you attend the Harry Potter celebration at Universal Orlando Resort and visit the expo on January 25 or 26, you can meet Kibuishi for yourself and even get his autograph. The expo is included with your admission ticket. You'll find it in Soundstage 33, but be prepared for a wait to get in.
If you'd like to see more of what's inside the expo, jump to this article.

Tough contest: Bulldog Adam Cooney and St Kilda's Jack Steven compete. Photo: Pat Scala

Goals: Western Bulldogs: L Dahlhaus 3 L Hunter 2 J Tutt K Stevens M Boyd S Crameri T Liberatore. St Kilda: B Maister 2 E Templeton 2 J Steven L Montagna T Dennis-Lane.
Best: Western Bulldogs: Liberatore, Macrae, Boyd, Wallis, Dahlhaus, Stevens. St Kilda: Steven, Montagna, Geary, Armitage, Savage, Hickey.
Umpires: Brett Rosebury, Andrew Mitchell, Matthew Leppard.
Venue: Simonds Stadium.
Pre-season football should have something for everyone, and so it was in Geelong on Wednesday night as the Western Bulldogs won a clash that was preceded by a flood and featured enough cause for sunny optimism albeit in wild bursts - to cheer two teams in rebuild at a neutral and distant venue.
The Western Bulldogs had brought up a century by quarter-time, and it was as eye-catching as any hundred scored before lunch. Some statistics mislead, but 101 possessions to your opponent's 43 - even more so, 34 handball receives to six - reeks of rare dominance.

Such was the Saints' turnaround that if Tom Curren's dribbled shot just before half-time had gone left of the post rather than right they would have gone in with the lead. A Beau Maister soccer a minute into the third quarter duly gave Alan Richardson his first experience of coaching from the front.
It didn't last long, but there were bright signs beyond the efforts of usual suspects Jack Steven, Leigh Montagna, Jarryn Geary and David Armitage. Shane Savage showed he will add depth around the ball, Curren, Luke Dunstan and Jimmy Webster had a crack, Tom Hickey rucked smartly, and Burnie boy Eli Templeton kicked two soccer goals that were as eye-catching as his hair.
Brendan McCartney would have left a familiar venue with nourishing food for thought. Tom Liberatore, Mitch Wallis and Jack Macrae were ominous in winning and clearing stoppages, while Jake Stringer's game hinted at the collegiate benefit the Bulldogs' forward line will gain from Stewart Crameri's presence.
Crameri began with new Saint Josh Bruce at his side, and a pedigree as an elite rower that would have served the former GWS Giant well had the game been played on the lake Simonds Stadium resembled two hours earlier. The former Bomber got the drop on him to mark and kick the game's second goal, but Bruce stuck fast to a task helped by the soggy stage. Crameri ran hard but could only muster a few touches.
Lachie Hunter's soccer for the first goal of the night betrayed the order of the night, while Tom Campbell's two contested marks in the first 10 minutes defied them. By the first change it was anything but a contest, baldly illustrated in a handball receives column that showed how little easy possession the Saints could conjure.
Their rise in tempo and output was pleasing, but another Bulldogs surge that included a third goal from the shorn but still silky Luke Dahlhaus - helped by another sweeping shower that slowed scoring to a trickle - was enough to decide the result. Yet the bottom line that mattered was that both teams found positives with which to attack the serious stuff.

The worldwide smash hit musical We Will Rock You has made its way to Detroit opening at the Fisher Theatre on Tuesday and running through Sunday, April 13.
The musical is created by British comedian and writer Ben Elton and features a score of Queen's biggest songs from "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" to "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You".
Subtle is one word that would never be used to describe Queen's music and the same can certainly be said for We Will Rock You.
The musical does a great job of staying true to the over-the-top vibe that the band brought to each and every one of their songs.
Set in a future world that is run by a global Internet corporation that has banned all forms of individuality, We Will Rock You revolves around the idea of a "Bohemian" group of outcasts who are determined to bring rock back to life.
They believe they have found their savior in Galileo Figaro (Brian Justin Crum) who dreams of classic rock moments and hears lyrics in his head.
Gal, along with his rebel rock girlfirend Scaramouche (Ruby Lewis) set out on a journey to find the place where rock and roll still lives on.
Yes, the storyline is a bit lacking in subtlety and is extremely campy but in a very self aware way that allows the cast to play up the goofiness for all its worth and allows Queen's music to naturally flow through to the conclusion.
It's a fun two and a half hour journey that allows the audience to just go with the flow and enjoy themselves.

"The way that I think of it in a positive way is we're going to learn from it," Kiffin said. "That can't happen again. But we're not going to change everything because prior to that game (a 39-36 loss at Arizona on Oct. 27) we had won 17 of the previous 20 games. We were 17-3 in the middle of sanctions, probation, reduced roster. All those things going on, we're winning 17 of 20 games. We're doing something right."
But during those last two months of last season, "Everything that could go wrong went wrong," he adds.
And with the losses, came drama. That always seems to be the case with Kiffin.
His 20-game run in the NFL ended with then-Raiders owner Al Davis calling him a liar and firing him with cause. While Kiffin clearly wasn't the solution, a decades' worth of futility in Oakland suggests he was far from the only problem with the Raiders.
A couple of months later, Kiffin landed at Tennessee, a fading program in the midst of an awkward breakup with longtime coach Phillip Fulmer.
Kiffin managed to tick off most of the Southeastern Conference, talking trash and pushing the envelope in recruiting as he tried to pump some life into the Vols.
They did get better under Kiffin, going 7-6, but he turned out to be one and done. He couldn't resist the temptation to return to USC, where he was offensive coordinator under Pete Carroll, and replace his mentor. He left behind NCAA violations and a thoroughly ticked off fan base in Knoxville.
He hasn't exactly been embraced by the USC faithful, skeptical of his credentials and exasperated at time by his actions.
In three seasons with USC, he's been fined by the Pac-12 for criticizing officials, battled the local media over access to practice and the reporting of injuries and had special teamers switch jerseys to run trick plays against overmatched Colorado.
So, of course, when it was revealed that a USC team manager under-inflated the footballs for last year's Oregon game, Lane got blamed again even though there was no evidence he had anything do with it.
"He's the anti-Teflon coach," Haden said. "Stuff sticks to him that's not even his fault. He gets blamed for earthquakes and wildfires."
Around USC they call it the Kiffin Effect.
"That is frustrating because I know a completely different person from what a lot of people assume that he is," said Layla Kiffin, Lane's wife. "But then you ask the team and you ask the parents that know him, and they all can say the same things I do. He is personable. And he is funny. And he's extremely smart. He's very gifted and talented at what he does.
"It wasn't that he's spoiled and his dad groomed him to be what he is. I understand why he gets the criticism, but there's so much more to him."
Haden didn't hire Kiffin, he inherited him from former AD Mike Garrett, who was pushed out after the NCAA hammered USC.
"I've come to appreciate Lane," Haden said. "You can't ask for a guy who's going to work harder and be more dedicated."
Haden said Kiffin has been "nothing but compliant," when it comes to NCAA regulations. The team has done well academically and off-the-field issues have been minimal, he added.
Haden called Kiffin a very good recruiter and good play caller.
"I think he's maturing as a coach," Haden said. "I don't think the reality is anywhere near the perception of being aloof, arrogant. Confident, yes. I love confidence."
And Haden said Kiffin has taken full responsibility for last year's fade.
"He looked at everything. What does he need to change. What does he need to do different," Haden said.
Kiffin is 25-13 at USC while dealing a two-year bowl ban and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years.
"I think he's been as good as he can be," Haden said. "The NCAA didn't give us these sanctions to keep us winning. We're working our way through them. You have to grade (Kiffin) a little bit on the curve."

A highly available operating system is not something that just happens. It must be designed and planned from the start. z/OS has in it some basic recovery, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that are core components and have been so, not just for years, but for decades.
The z/OS operating system
z/OS prides itself in having good first failure data capture (FFDC) techniques, designed to capture data and identify problems that occur during production without impacting system availability. This functionality has been a core part of the operating system design since 1974. Because of its long history, sometimes we take this functionality for granted. . In z/OS, if a task (comparable to a UNIX thread) fails , the system is designed to quickly make a copy of the running programs, together with its data and system control blocks, to another location in memory. This data can then be dumped to disk or tape for later analysis. For user applications and many subsystems, the dump is designed to be created without impacting unrelated work on the system. Even for system-level problems, the focus is on collecting the data with the least impact on other work.
After a problem occurs and the dump is taken, z/OS and the subsystems typically either remain up or else can be restarted without a re-IPL. This capability is handled by recovery routines such as ESTAE and FRR being given control. These routines are designed to capture diagnostic data, identify and restore modified system structures, resources, and locks held by the failed user, and return control to the program at a specified point. These serviceability features are available to be used by ISV and user applications as well.
Contrast this with the UNIX environment. When there is a problem in the operating system code, subsystem, or even some application problems, the UNIX system typically takes a system (kernel) dump and then stops, requiring a re-IPL.
One important mechanism to help in problem determination is using the system trace records. (Think of this as the z/OS flight recorder!) Various z/OS component and system level traces are active by default. Information about which module was entered and by which transaction is efficiently written to a trace table in memory where it can later be dumped and analyzed. In addition, there is flexibility associated with the ability to turn on additional levels of tracing on a component-by-component basis without a restart for supplemental data gathering. Key here is that this can be highly efficient without significant impact on overall performance.
UNIX systems typically do not have tracing enabled by default. Additionally, in most UNIX systems tracing can be prohibitive from a performance perspective. Furthermore, tracing is typically activated by specifying a program variable and restarting the application. This is obviously disruptive and unacceptable to z/OS. All this makes UNIX problem determination more difficult, which can result in a less serviceable environment than z/OS.
System cleanup
Processes and address spaces can hang for any number of reasons. One example is a deadlock — situations between applications or in the latches obtained by the UNIX kernel (operating system) when two threads try to acquire system-level locks for resources held by the other.
Part of fundamental z/OS recovery process is the cleanup of any resources that programs might have acquired. By cleaning up these resources, programs can free memory that was obtained, hardware and software locks can be released, and data sets (files) can be closed. If a program encounters an error before it has the opportunity to clean up its resources on its own or if the application does not invoke its own recovery routine, the system recovery termination manager (RTM) is designed to invoke the End of Task and End of Memory processing to release the locks, latches, and other system resources. In addition, z/OS has included extensive logic to be able to restart canceled UNIX System Services processes and (non-USS) address spaces without requiring re-IPLs.
On the other hand, the UNIX operating system typically do not track or recover from deadlock conditions on the latches. Even if one or both of these threads are canceled the problem is not resolved. UNIX still considers those latches and locks held because it does not go through the code to return the resources. The only thing left to do is to reboot.
z/OS security
Two aspects of system security that can affect availability are protecting it from hackers who are actively trying to infiltrate the system, and a more common problem, protecting it from internal employees who accidentally make unexpected changes. z/OS with the optional feature Security Server (RACF), aided by the design of the operating system, can address both of these concerns in an efficient, manageable package.
For example, if a hacker gains access by compromising a user's password, then the hacker has access to only those resources that that particular user controls. Since most users do not control general system resources, the risk of damage to the system is minimal. In addition, the z/OS security has effective audit tools designed so that hackers poking around tryting to discover weaknesses, will often immediately draw attention to themselves. For example, RACF realtime functions can be set to disable a user ID who exceeds an administratively established failed password attempt threshold. In addition, automation can intercept system messages generated when failed resource access attempts occur and be programmed to take immediate action.
Security is built into the system
There are many functions that are critical to providing a security-rich environment. This includes encryption of passwords as users sign on to the system, encrypting data being transmitted between servers, protecting system and user files from unauthorized access, auditing capabilities, and protecting the security manager database itself. Many of the these functions are available on UNIX systems by taking overt action and may possibly require purchasing and installing independent software vendor products or open source applications. As such, many customers may not know they need to take these actions, possibly resulting in an unsecure system. In addition, these may add unacceptable performance bottlenecks to the UNIX system. In the worst case, a security modification or addition could require rebuilding the kernel to install the packages which may invalidate any service contracts with the operating system provider. z/OS security interfaces to an external security manager like RACF are designed, architected, and integrated into the product, helping to optimize performance, and are generally much easier to set up and manage. In addition, being a centralized server, this is designed to only have to be done once.
Digital certificates can be a basic building block of a trusted infrastructure supporting secure transactions over the Internet. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services provide for the life-cycle management of digital certificates. These services include creation (or signing) of digital certificates and renewal after a period of time. On other platforms, applications using Digital Certificates may require the customer to go to third-party vendors to purchase and manage certificates which could be costly on a per certificate basis. This may be a significant expense for a customer who wants to used digital certificates to establish secure identification of and communication with large numbers of its customers or business partners With the PKI services that are built into z/OS, customers have the capability to create and manage their own digital certificates in whatever numbers they choose. Cost effective z/OS PKI services can make digital certificate based security an option where it may not have otherwise been.
On distributed systems, there is system traffic traveling everywhere. Often, passwords can travel in the clear within a company's intranet (unless someone took the added effort to encrypt it as noted earlier). Using simple technology, a hacker could tap into a line to steal data and passwords. Hundreds of these distributed systems can be consolidated on a single zSeries server with data being passed to each other inside the box using virtual network technology such as HyperSockets, Guest LANs, etc. Even between z/OS images on different servers within a Parallel Sysplex, data can be exchanged using the CF links. All this helps protect z/OS and zSeries from physical network attacks.
Part of the Communication Server, a base element of z/OS, is Intrusion Detection Services (IDS). IDS is built within the TCP stack and is designed to discover and defend against attacks such as scans, single packet attacks, and flooding. It automatically logs this activity for later analysis.
z/OS and RACF are designed to protect resources by default. This security can be applied and managed across the system to manage access control lists. This applies equally to the standard z/OS files as well as the z/OS hierarchical file systems.
Parallel Sysplex
The IBM eServer zSeries™ Parallel Sysplex® clustering environment is designed to allow concurrent read/write access to shared data from all processing nodes in a configuration without sacrificing performance or data integrity. Each node can be configured to concurrently cache shared data in local processor memory through hardware assisted cluster-wide serialization and coherency controls. As a result, work requests that are associated with a single workload, such as business transactions or database queries, can be dynamically distributed for parallel execution on nodes in the sysplex cluster based on available processor capacity. In the event of a hardware or software outage, either planned or unplanned, data sharing workloads can be dynamically redirected to available servers, providing near continuous application availability.
Another significant advantage of using Parallel Sysplex technology is the ability to enable nondisruptive hardware and software maintenance and installation. Through data sharing and dynamic workload management, servers can be dynamically removed from or added to the cluster, which can allow installation and maintenance activities to be performed while the remaining systems continue to process work. Furthermore, by adhering to the IBM software and hardware coexistence policy, software and hardware upgrades can be introduced one system at a time. This capability can allow you to roll changes through systems at a pace that makes sense for the business. The ability to perform rolling hardware and software maintenance nondisruptively can also help the business to implement critical functions and react to rapid growth without necessarily affecting application availability.
The Automatic Recovery Manager (ARM) policy can be used to automatically restart failed applications on any image across the sysplex.
One of the key requirements for a Parallel Sysplex cluster is to provide a single system image to the end user. For the TCP/IP interface, this is done using Virtual IP Addressing (VIPA). If there is a TCP/IP or system outage, one of the backup stacks is designed to automatically activate (take over) the IP address from the stack that suffered the outage. Normal client recovery action will attempt to reconnect to the same IP address and the client will be able to quickly establish a new connection to the backup stack. In addition, since the backup stack immediately notifies the client that the old connection has been terminated, this can be done without waiting for the normal TCP timeouts. The Sysplex Distributor can help provide dynamic workload balancing as well as simplifying the management of the network.
Parallel Sysplex technology builds on and extends the strengths of zSeries e-business servers with nearly linear scalability to create the industry's most powerful commercial processing clustered environment.
Since 1993 (with MVS/ESA SP V4.3), z/OS has also been a UNIX platform. It has supported file systems (HFS and faster performing zFS), and has the same look and feel as other UNIX platforms from a user and application point of view. Yet, there are differences. While UNIX applications can run on z/OS just as they can run on other platforms, they can also enjoy the added qualities of service already mentioned that z/OS provides, as well as the z/OS Workload Manager and other features.
z/OS can provide availability benefits even for simple functions like checking or recovering from a bad pointer. Although sigaction() or siglongjmp() UNIX validity checking calls can be utilized to check for a bad address, these methods are rarely used. In z/OS, even if the subsystem is given bad data, the recovery routines are designed to protect the operating system, UNIX kernel, and subsystems. On a UNIX platform, a bad pointer may cause an error in the subsystem code which could in turn cause a system dump, requiring a re-IPL.
If an application should get hung, the only UNIX recourse is to "Kill" the process . Sometimes Kill doesn't work. Since the UNIX implementation on z/OS uses z/OS services, there is an additional recovery step that can be taken, the z/OS UNIX "Superkill" command. Superkill invokes z/OS services designed to cancel the address space running the UNIX process and z/OS End of Task and End of Memory services will release system resources that were held. In addition, many UNIX servers running on z/OS are designed on z/OS to clean up after themselves so they can be restarted without requiring a re-IPL.
In general, UNIX systems and subsystems usually do not take advantage of any specialized hardware because they are written to be general programs, running on any of the standardized UNIX and Linux platforms. DB2 for z/OS, on the other hand, has been designed to be optimized and tightly integrated with the z/OS operating system and the zSeries platform to help provide better performance and the ability to take advantage of platform-specific availability options such as Parallel Sysplex clustering.
z/OS delivers
The pressure that drove the evolution of the z/OS operating system came from requirements for a robust 24x7x365 environment to run mission critical workloads where frequent re-IPLs are unacceptable. Application outages (not just system outages) can mean thousands of dollars of lost business for each minute of outage for many business environments. Our customers demand a secure, reliable, serviceable, and available system, and z/OS delivers.

'Game of Thrones' Season Finale Won't Slow Down the Pace, People Will Die
- 01:23 PM, Jun 25
The Night Circus is an ambiguous, beautiful, and moving book. If you only read a book this year (it took me two days to read it), it has to be The Night Circus. The writing is elegant, and the descriptions so vivid, that anyone will want the circus to be real and in their town. There are many inside jokes, many little stories inside each story, and no book has a better setting than the one created by Erin Morgenstern. However, the elegant way she writes is sometimes bad. The plot is unclear, and the things overly described. She avoids actually stating objects; instead she just describes it. Morgenstern is one chapter describes a meal in this way (I just made this paragraph up for an example): There is a giant meal with food of all the colors of the rainbow. The delicious meal is placed on the old wooden table which has a popcorn smell, and could have been from a century-year-old theater popcorn stand. Everyone who eats the food immediately wonders who the chef was: the nationally-famed chef on TV? the king�s chef? but the host never tells them, just to make it mysterious and better. There is no food that is actually said to be in the meal! Also, the plot is supposed to be a �game.� The �game� in the book is nothing like a normal �game.� It is even worse than the one in the Hunger Games. There are two magicians who have to show off their magic skills in the venue, which is the circus. The person who loses is eliminated from the physical world. What makes the story ambiguous is that those are the only rules, and it�s all confusing, how the game works.There is a second plot, that intertwines with the first plot in the end, but it would be a spoiler to describe it.This book does not really grab a readers�s attention in the first half of the book, because there are so many mysteries and plot is unclear. However, I read through it excitedly because I wanted to learn what the plot was. However, in the end I still could not grasp it, but the entire book gave me a delightful journey. The circus as described wonderfully in The Night Circus is definitely what everyone needs to go through at least once in their lifetime.
i absolutely love the night circus and am dyeing to see it in the theatre.

Although many people think that the flowers, candy and gift cartel gave birth to Valentine's Day, its actual history dates back to the Middle Ages.
Poet Geoffrey Chaucer, frequently dubbed the Father of English literature, is also generally credited as the one who first associated early church liturgies celebrating various Christian saints named Valentinus with romantic love.
In his 1382 poem, Parelement of Foules, Chaucer wrote:
For this was on seynt Volantynys day
When euery bryd comyth there to chese his make
Translation: For this was on Saint Valentine's Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate
And thus was born the greeting card industry – just kidding – and the custom of marking the closing days of winter with young lovers exchanging hand written notes of affection.
Of course, times have changed.
Simple, heartfelt romance expressed with fine paper and ink has blossomed into a $13 billion mega-industry. This year, the romantics among us will spend an average of $120 each on Valentine's Day presents and activities.
The most common Valentine's Day gifts are Cards (52.1%), followed by Candy (47.5%), Dining (34.6%), Flowers (34.3%) and Jewelry (17.3%).*
To be sure, nothing prohibits sweethearts from recognizing the day solely by enjoying each other's company - perhaps on a sunset walk; exchanging personally crafted love notes; or simply talking to one another and cuddling until the wee hours of the morning. Price tag: $0.00.
Regardless of your budget, "Spend This, Not That" - a regular personal finance feature that I co-author with Dale Clarke of FreedomFastTrack.com, offers our suggestions for choosing wisely; leveraging cash outlays with infusions of creativity and imagination; spotting and utilizing savings opportunities; and above all else, making your Valentine's Day gifts count.
CHOCOLATES (Not That): Godiva offers Valentine's Day chocolates in a keepsake, fabric heart-shaped box that contains 40 limited-edition heart-shaped pieces. "Make a grand romantic gesture with our…quintessential gift of love," the chocolatier coos. Cost is $100, which includes free standard shipping.
CHOCOLATES (Spend This): That limited edition fabric heart-shaped box will have little utility once the goodies inside are gone. The box isn't designed to be refillable and, in our experience, emits a stale smell in time.
For under $90 online, you can purchase the Sephra 16-Inch Stainless Steel 4-Pound home fondue fountain, capable of dispensing premium Belgium dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate and other delectable varieties (including liquid caramel) guaranteed to make your sweet-loving lover's heart melt.
Plan your entire evening around the chocolate fountain, including what you'll dip into it – strawberries, pound cake, pretzels, body parts… whatever.
Four pounds of your favorite fondue chocolate, more than enough to satiate even the most voracious chocoholic, will run you about $32.
Dishwasher safe parts are easy to clean and the fondue fountain can be used to entertain small gatherings year round – or to reenact your Valentine's Day liaison whenever the mood is right.
FLOWERS (Not That): 1-800-Flowers.com has a wide variety of flowers and vases available for delivery. The retailer's listed prices may be discounted by ordering early or using a code provided to radio listeners and others. [If you must go this route, be sure to take advantage of these savings opportunities.]
In general, a dozen red roses will run you roughly $45 to $65; two dozen red roses from $60 to $80; 30 tulips $50 to $75 dollars; and orchids from $50 to $80. Shipping or local delivery is usually additional, and 1-800-Flowers.com offers combo gifts, that include flowers and your choice of stuffed animals, chocolates, other edibles and trinkets.
FLOWERS (Spend This): Reader's Digest offers flower-lovers 8 professional tips for making their blooms stay fresh "for a few more days." They include spritzing the petals with hair spray to increase the appearance of freshness; mixing vodka into the vase to minimize the growth of bacteria; and adding a copper penny, which mimics an acidifier.
We have a different idea: romantic plants. CBS News did a nice story supporting this alternative a couple years back, noting that "potted plants are beautiful, less pricey, and say 'I love you' a lot longer."
Here are two of the recommendations CBS relayed from Master Gardener William Ross:
· Orchids: "They make a bold statement and are the perfect gift to impress a lover or secret crush. They'll think of you for months as they examine the intricate flowers."
· Flaming Flower: "Lush houseplants that have gorgeous blooms….with their glossy heart-shaped leaves. The sexy, showy flowers are a wonderful bonus with same heart shape."
Call around to some area nurseries and garden centers (not florists) to pinpoint the best pricing. In general, you should expect to easily save 50% compared with the price of long-stem red roses.
[Not That]: A his-and-hers day at an area spa. [Expensive. Ephemeral.]
[Spend This]: Turn your home into a spa for the night. Hire a professional in-home masseuse (Ephemeral, But Memorable). Buy luxurious his and her robes (Enduring). Light the bathtub with candles, make a mix tape of romantic music, add aromatic bath salts, and luxuriate in the privacy of your home.
[Not That]: Dinner out at a fancy and (on Valentine's Day) sure to be crowded restaurant. [Expensive. Conventional.]
[Spend This]: Pack a picnic basket with gourmet cuisine, locate a romantic and secluded spot, roll out a blanket, and watch the sun set. If you live in a cold-weather state, picnic in the (freshly washed and vacuumed) car under the stars. Look for a lovely vista where you can admire the lights of the city. (Less Expensive, Memorable)
[Not That]: Catch a romantic movie or attend a play. [Limited Selection, Lacks Intimacy.]
[Spend This]: Download a romantic movie [Wide Selection, Inexpensive] and "act it out." If the on-screen couple drinks wine, stock that wine. If they feed one another Chinese takeout using chopsticks, then do likewise. If they get wildly passionate on the kitchen table, then you can take it from there. [Originality]
[Not That]: Present her with jewelry. [Expensive. Conventional. Enduring.]
[Spend This]: High-class, professional boudoir photography is a sexy way to create long-lasting and romantic memories. [Less Expensive. Less Conventional. Enduring] If you must give her jewelry (which is always overpriced), then buy her a [Relatively Less Expensive] locket to hold your boudoir souvenir.
Alternative: On a particularly tight budget? Why not squeeze together into a photo booth at a nearby mall for some laughs, hugging and smooching? Later, when your finances improve, you can enlarge the photo strips, which make wonderful, memorable wall hangings. [Inexpensive. Original. Enduring.]
Go ahead and make it an annual Valentine's Day ritual. In time, the photo strips will prove a lovely, evolving memento of your romantic selves.
Alternative II: This is a blend of Idea #1 and Idea #2, for those with a taste for adventure and a budget to match. Why not rent a photo booth for the night and use your imagination as to what types of photo strips to capture?
There are vendors in most mid-size and large cities who'll rent and deliver to you a fully equipped, self-contained "photo studio in a box." Costs vary, but you're likely to spend $500 to $1,000. Consider hosting a Valentine's Day party centered around the photo booth and, of course, have the booth to yourselves after the guests go home.
[Not That]: A night in a lovely high-end hotel suite, for an inner-city getaway. [Expensive. Conventional.]
[Spend This]: A change of scenery can help ignite passion and provide your Valentine's Day night with the spirit of adventure.
But instead of plunking down two or three "Benjamins" for 350-square-feet of rented romantic space – check in after 3 pm, check out at 11 am – why not arrange with friends, colleagues or family to swap homes for the occasion?
The best swaps involve an exchange that delivers "fresh views" for both couples. Urban dwellers may enjoy a rural swap, and vice versa. A large home for a smaller, high-rise condo offers another change of pace.
Be sure to pack your own bed sheets, towels and toiletries. And do clean up after yourself. You don't want to damage your friendship by making a mess of the other person's dwelling.
Finally, a nice touch is for each couple to leave behind a token gift of appreciation. Think of it like tipping the maid, only sweeter.
