2006 Sand Blasters Sand Castle Competition PhotosPacific Beach California Sept. 30th & Oct.1Information on the 2007 Sand Blasters click here
SAND BLASTERS turns sand sculpting into a major competitive television event -- one with an interesting twist. Eight teams comprised of two world-class sand sculptors each potentially have up to eleven hours to create a sand masterpiece. In addition to the usual challenges the sculptors face -- time limits, weather and sand quality -- one more obstacle must be overcome before any of these teams have a chance at winning a share of the $20,000 prize money - explosives! Periodically, through random selection, one of these works-in-progress is blown-up and the sculptors must start from scratch with whatever time they have left. It is a race to the finish to see which team can overcome the odds and beat out the competition.
The Travel Channel did just that as part of its Sand Blasters competition at the foot of Thomas Street in Pacific Beach Saturday, Sept. 30, and Sunday, Oct. 1, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The event was taped as part of the network�s Beach Weekend 2007 broadcast, and the public was invited to come witness the creation � and the destruction.
Eight, two-person teams battled for a $20,000 prize. The teams had 11 hours over the weekend to complete their sculptures against the usual obstacles of time, weather and sand quality. However, organizers have included an unexpected hurdle: explosives.
Periodically, one of the sand castles in-progress was blown up, forcing the sculptors to start over from scratch.
Come with us to the sandy beaches of Pacific Beach San Diego as we cover this weekend of sand castle fun and entertainment.

If you've been fishing all your life, you might believe you know everything there is to know about fishing. If you have not ever gone fishing you might think you do not know anything. The fact is that pros and new people alike can learn a lot about fishing, so here are a few tips you can learn.
Don't slack off on wearing sunscreen just because the temperature is low. Frequently, the sun rays are strong over the water, so you should ensure that you will not get sunburn when you are out on the water.
Natural live bait often causes you to catch a lot of fish. Fish eat any insects that live near them. Fish will be more tempted by bait that is found along the banks where you are fishing. There are a lot of expensive lures that do not work very well and only help the bait store, not the fisherman.
Always be aware of your surroundings as well as the forecast for weather. Planning a fishing trip only to have it rain the entire time will ruin your day. Always check the weather forecast before heading out to make sure there is no risk of severe weather.
Make sure your hands are sufficiently wet before reeling in your fish for the last catch. This will keep the fish skin from getting too dry. This step is especially important if you must release the fish after catching it.
Always know what the local regulations are about fishing when you head out on the water. In some areas, fishing may be prohibited in certain bodies of water, or the use of certain kinds of bait may be forbidden. You can always verify information with your local governmental office.
Stay calm when you are wrestling with a big fish. Don't reel in the fish while it's swimming away. Don't exert too much pressure; let the drag created by the force of your rod do the heavy lifting. Once the hook is set in the fish, set your drag. Place your rod at a 45-degree angle relative to the water as you aim it at the fish.
If you're fishing with a buddy, have your partner remove their line from the water whenever you catch a fish, and do the same thing for them. This will prevent your lines from getting tangled, and it will also allow you to help out your partner if needed.
Go when the time and temperature is right to catch fish. Bass typically feed at dawn or dusk because their preferred food source is more active. For the best results, the temperature of the water should be over 50 degrees.
Fishing requires an incredible amount of patience. If it's hard for you, you may need to find a different sport that relies on less patience and time. Or you could always try and improve your patience levels by starting with shorter fishing trips.
Cleaning a fish correctly can keep you from getting sick. The essential tools are a paring knife and a table to cut on. Slice from the head down to the tail on the bottom of the fish. Cut the fish's head and pull it off while you remove its organs by pulling in the opposite direction. The end result will be a clean, open fish.
Before you begin fishing, research which fish you want to catch. You need to learn all you can about the fish if you wish to catch them. Although fish are not extremely intelligent, they do have natural instincts. Research your favorite fish before trying to catch it to improve the odds of success.
As you can see, there is always something new to be learned about fishing, regardless of your experience level. Fishing is a great sport at any level. It is important to remember that you can improve your fishing skills if you remain focused on achieving your goals.

The story: Fed whistleblower secretly recorded 46 hours of regulatory capture inside Goldman Sachs
From the piece:
The Fed had vowed to reform this culture, and Segarra was supposed to be part of that mission. But once she reported for work at the Fed department at Goldman Sachs (Fed regulators actually work at desks inside the banks they're regulating), she discovered a culture rotten with cowardice and capture, where her boss's idea of a really stern rebuke for lying in official filings was to mildly mention that there appeared to be some irregularities in the compliance regime, then trailing off ineffectually.
We know this because of the recordings, which were edited into a documentary by This American Life that aired yesterday. It's an absolutely riveting and essential hour of audio (MP3), and the accompanying package by Pro Publica is likewise essential reading.
Congress and/or President Obama could do something about this, not overnight, but given some prioritization. The problem of course is that they are bought as well. Some folks need to go to jail, but in any case we need electoral reform so that we can actually have a government willing to take on this sort of corruption.

Dear editor,
Must say that the new society and culture I now call The United States of America should appropriately be called The New Babylon today given the pure abject immorality and the ability to tell right from wrong has been lost much more in the United States. Just last year, the Supreme Court of the of the United States overstepped it's authority and made the law instead of interpreting it. Today the perversion of Homosexual marriage is legal all over the country. The irony is, that the country voted against it (The Defense of Marriage Act). From my memory, Presidents both democrat (Clinton) and republican (Bush) signed executive orders supporting the marriage of one man, one woman. But then came this new president, an absolute heathen (Barrack Obama) claiming to be a Christian, but supporting homosexuality when clearly the Bible does not. Thus either our president is confused, intentionally sacrificed his morality for votes and his hidden agenda, or he is a closet homosexuality himself. I personally leaned to all the above.
Even our Creator, The Living God says that "you shall know them by their fruits" see Matthew 7:16-20.
Now even today, this president is siding more with the liberal left and speaking out against states that don't support so called "transgender" people who seem to be confused with what sex they are and want to use what ever public restroom of their choice. Make no mistake about this, whether it be homosexuality, or some absolute degenerate who has a warp mind in seeing the opposite sex use the toilet. Both cases are behavioral turpitude in nature and is a complete disobedience of God›s word.
The disturbing part of this is, that a plurality of the American people and some pastoral ships are accepting of this debauchery and as past antiquity (Sodom and Gomorrah) they were judged by God and this country too will meet the same fate.
This country had every opportunity and ample qualified men and women to take back this country in 2012, and 2016, and we failed once again. I'm here to tell you that God doesn't grade on the Bell Curve, and the Day of reckoning is fast approaching. But hey, Not to worry, you still get your FREE STUFF!
Now go pay homage to your gods (Obama and Hillary)

In 1965, Henri Gault and Christian Millau developed the Gault Millau restaurant grading system and began to publish the Gault Millau restaurant guide, now one of the most influential restaurant guides in France.
Gault Millau
The Gault Millau restaurant guides are based on a restaurant grading system that utilizes a 20-point scale. Typically, restaurants must earn at least 10 points to receive a mention in the guide.
Prior to 2004, no restaurant had ever been awarded a full 20 points, since the founders of the restaurant grading system wanted 20 to represent absolute perfection. In order to keep the integrity of the restaurant grading system intact, the publishers intended to maintain the highest score as an ideal and unattainable standard.
In 2004, however, two French restaurants (headed by the same chef) were awarded a 20-point rating for the first time. The ratings coincided with a shift from a permanent editorial staff to a new system using local food inspectors. As a result, the restaurant grading system came under fire and faced accusations of rating inflation. Despite this incident, Gault Millau remains one of the most respectable culinary ratings in the world.
The Gault Millau Restaurant Grading System
The Gault Millau restaurant guides derive some of their purist reputation from the fact that the restaurant grading system accounts only for the quality of the food. Atmosphere and service have no impact on a restaurant's final rating. In theory, this places all the emphasis on the culinary skills of the chef and, therefore, offers focused guidance to diners who are interested in food quality alone.
This also means that Gault Millau is unlikely to surpass the other guides (such as the Michelin guide) in terms of influence and popularity. The Michelin restaurant grading system reflects the fact that most diners see a restaurant visit as a multi-faceted experience. The Gault Millau restaurant guide is more useful for fine food aficionados and culinary experts.

Hazardous materials transportation presents substantial risks.
If you are moving hazardous materials by ground, you probably know that safe and compliant HazMat transportation is not an easy task. In fact, many transportation companies are avoiding hazardous material and chemical shipments because of regulation and increased risk. Shipment of hazardous materials in the US is regulated under title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. When hazardous materials are offered for commercial transportation, there are many requirements that are enforced by the US Department of transportation. Echelon Environmental has established itself as a reliable solution through a steadfast focus on safe, punctual deliveries, and special attention to ensuring that our high quality of HazMat shipping service remains consistent.
We provide safe and compliant HazMat transportation.
We take the burdens of hazardous waste transportation and disposal off your plate, and we can handle the full spectrum of commercial and industrial waste types. We address your requirements for compliant hazmat shipments, including and not limited to:
- Characterization. Proper classification of the material is critical, as is the packaging to ensure that the material does not escape during transport. Using the chemical content and physical properties of the material, we determine the DOT hazard class and the packaging requirements.
- Packaging. The most important element of the safety of your shipment is the packaging of the material. The integrity of a container – one that is in line with UN specifications for your hazardous material, will ensure that normal shipping conditions will not cause the material to escape. Following the manufacturer's closure instructions for the container will prevent a common cause of on-the-road spills.
- Labeling and Documentation. We correctly label the packages and author clear and compliant shipping papers. Failures in these areas are the ones most likely to be discovered by DOT inspectors because they are readily apparent.
- Shipping Arrangements. The risk of spills or incidents is greatest during handling, loading and transport. We therefore assure that the hazmat carrier you've contracted to move your chemical shipments with is safe and has adequate licensing and insurance. We also have strong relationships with major shippers, who have an extensive fleet of various vehicles, which enables us to offer you efficient and cost effective transportation.
"It is with great pleasure that I provide Ron Harvey with this professional reference. I have had the pleasure of working with Ron for the past two years and have observed his direct work activities. Ron is a qualified radiological and waste shipper and has the experience and knowledge to run or provide oversight to any waste / rad-waste organization."
– Robert Wills, RRPT, MBA, GEL Laboratories

Red Hat Summit attendee snapshot
This post was contributed by Pam Derringer.
Some came to network. Others to learn. And one came to pick up a prize.
My very unscientific sampling of conference-goers turned up a mix of reasons that motivated people to attend the recent Red Hat Summit, which equaled or exceeded last year's event, despite the economic downturn and competition from VMware.
But learning seemed to be the prime motivator. For one thing, the assistant of a workshop presenter observed that the company's technical workshop was more crowded than the general one, which dovetailed with my experience at other sessions. So I'm guessing that attendees, as a whole, were after highly detailed information to help them do their jobs rather than more topical overviews.
And I've just got a hunch that KVM and the coming Red Hat Virtualization platform were a big draw. But you could learn something about this remotely, via Webcasts, news articles, or other outlets. So the real advantage to being there is the additional networking factor.
Two attendees whose primary purpose was networking included Steve Giovannetti, CTO of Hub City Media, and Michael Howard of the U.S. Navy's Spaware System Center in Charleston, S.C. As a new Red Hat/JBoss Catalyst partner, Hub City Media's main goal in attending (in addition to being an exhibitor) was "getting to know folks and connecting with customers," Giovannetti said.
Giovannetti said Red Hat's vision is "great," and praised its decision to switch to the KVM hypervisor. Although KVM "has a long way to go," it's good that Red Hat will support both KVM and Xen in the interim. "Getting all the virtualization vendors to cooperative will be a challenge… but, ultimately, customers will demand portability," he said.
Howard, one of three government IT staffers I met at the Summit (a remarkable percentage), also viewed the conference as a networking opportunity. Howard's main task with the Navy the past four years has been to promote the use of open source in the government and offer user feedback to vendors like Red Hat.
"If I give the open source community our feedback, the taxpayers save millions and the government gets software development for free," he said.
A Red Hat Enterprise Linux customer, the Navy also is using Red Hat's JBoss Java application platform and is keenly interested in ensuring that JBoss continues in a strong direction, Howard said.
"JBoss has been great," he said. "Three of the best JBoss developers in the world work for us."
David Pullman, a systems administrator for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, said he wants to learn more about KVM because NIST is getting ready to expand its use of virtualization. NIST currently has a small virtualization project with Xen and uses a third-party vendor for high availability and live migration. KVM and Red Hat's SPICE virtualized desktop both sound interesting, he said.
The lone prize-winner I met at the conference was Rick Gideon, chief operating officer of ecommerce.com. Gideon came to the Summit because his company won the JBoss Innovation award for outstanding architecture.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Gideon's firm hosts 500,000 websites and collaborated with EnterpriseDB, Hyperic, Zimbra and others to build an intelligent platform for websites that can be provisioned automatically and dynamically, shifting services as needed based on business rules, he said. The platform runs on Red Hat and JBoss.
"We're looking to begin partnerships, " Gideon said. "We'll be building and deploying [the new system] this year."

Happy Easter Monday!
I'm jealous of the people who also get today off. I would have loved to have a 4 day weekend! Today's nails are Easter themed. I wore them to my family's dinner yesterday.
What I Used:
Base: A light purple by Color Club (no polish name on the bottle) & a Cosmetic Arts silver for the pinky
Stamping: MoYou London stamping plate Tourist 07 using China Glaze Spring in my Step & Grass is Lime Greener, and Maybelline Color Show Shocking Seas.
Pinky: I topped is off with a Cosmetic Arts silver glitter polish.
I did gradient stamping to give it the Easter feel. These nails are super cute but they didn't last too long doing dishes at my parents after Easter Dinner. I had some minor chipping at the tips.
Thank you everyone for stopping by! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and will have a great week!

The International Pole & Line Foundation's (IPNLF) ambition is to contribute to thriving coastal fisheries, including the people, communities, businesses and seas connected with them. IPNLF works to develop, support and promote socially and environmentally responsible pole-and-line, handline and troll (collectively known as one-by-one) tuna fisheries around the world.
One-by-one tuna fisheries are widely regarded as the most ecologically responsible fisheries due to their minimal impact on the environment. Further, these fisheries are very people-centric, supporting comparatively high employment compared to industrial fisheries, while still providing a model on which to sustain tuna fisheries and fishery dependent livelihoods into the future. Due to these attributes, one-by-one fisheries are lauded as a responsible choice across international consumer guidelines.
To meet the growing global demand for sustainable and socially responsible tuna, IPNLF works with its growing Member network to forge change and enhance supply for the benefit of responsible one-by-one tuna fishing communities. Allied with its network of Members they implement practical fishery projects, advocate for responsible policy and management measures, advance our scientific understanding and promote the ecological and social benefits of one-by-one fisheries.
As a FishChoice Sustainable Seafood Affiliate, IPNLF hope to strengthen its connection to the market and the variety of like-minded organizations working to help buyers, suppliers, and consumers make sustainable seafood choices.

An exploration of the utility of a self-report emotional intelligence measure
The original publication is available at http://ojs.lib.swin.edu.au/index.php/ejap/index
The purpose of this research was to address the need for evidence regarding the practical utility of the Swinburne University Emotional Intelligence Test (SUEIT, Palmer & Stough, 2001). More specifically, the predictive, as well as incremental validity of Emotional Intelligence (EI) over personality in leadership competence was explored. The EI, personality and Assessment Centre (AC) leadership competency constructs were operationalised through the SUEIT, Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32i) and leadership AC technology, respectively. EI data was collected with an online version of the SUEIT from a sample of 111 middle managers from a life assurance company in South Africa. The OPQ32i and AC data was extracted from archival records of the company. Correlational and multivariate data analysis procedures were employed. The results revealed significant relationships between various EI dimensions and the Customer Focus, Building Working Relationships, Gaining Commitment, Developing Others, Problem Solving and Stress Tolerance leadership competencies. Various dimensions of the SUEIT demonstrated incremental validity above personality in predicting variance in numerous leadership competencies (e.g. Building Working Relationships, Developing Others etc.). The results are discussed and recommendations for further research are made.

Jade Cole was a contestant on the Cycle 6 of ANTM.
Born and raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Jade Cole is an Indian and African-American fashion model. Before she was on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 6, Jade already had some experience as a model in the fashion industry. She was in Jay-Z and Pharell Williams' "Change Clothes" music video, where she got to work alongside supermodel Naomi Campbell.
As a finalist on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 6, Jade became well-known for her notorious personality. The judges and the other girls often criticized her for her arrogant behavior. Jade didn't see herself as being arrogant, but was always making negative comments about her fellow Top Model finalist, Gina Choe, who was known to be very insecure. Because the judges disapproved of Jade's attitude, they placed her on the bottom two five times during the season. Nevertheless, her natural talent for modeling brought her all the way to the Top 3, but she was finally eliminated from the show on the season finale. She was the eleventh contestant to be sent home and, in a unique way of saying goodbye, read a portion of her own poem.
Jade has become a highly successful model since appearing on the show. She has had the opportunity to model abroad, particularly in Greece and India, and has been affiliated with five different modeling agencies, namely DBA in New York City, Uber Waring in Los Angeles, SMG in Seattle, VMH Models in Vancouver and Dream Models in Singapore.
Jade opened up a productions company, the Biracial Butterfly Productions. She has also been featured in several ads for Nelly's Apple Bottom Clothing Line.
She was signed to Elite Model Management in Hong Kong in 2009. She has appeared in the music videos Go on Girl by Neyo and Digital Girl by Jamie Foxx ft. Kanye West, The-Dream & Drake.

Jade should have won.
March 25, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Looks b*tchy and mean in EVERY picture.
May 10, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Jade's arrogance did her in.
July 18, 2011 at 10:23 pm
yea…i know she's arrogant but i can't say it did her in. She has been more successful than most ATM.
May 16, 2011 at 12:53 am
I completely disagree.
Jade's look is far too old and not at all fresh. While there is no question that she is a natural model, she would have been an excellent candidate to win ANTM maybe five or six years earlier with her looks and her talent. As it turned out, by the time she got to ANTM, she just was not a fresh enough look. She just got to ANTM too late.
February 13, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Really you people are just jealous because you don't have what it takes to be a model.
July 24, 2010 at 2:19 pm
No, she really should'nt have won. Too arrogant among other things, but it's great to see her do so well.
April 5, 2011 at 7:58 am
I agree, when the season first started I was certain that Nnena or Jade were going to win, and I was kind of angry that they chose to keep Furonda instead of Nnena and then sent Jade home in the season finale. I do feel that ANTM was a great stepping stone for Jade and her attitude was a little excessive, actually a lot! But clearly, she's worked out her kinks and it has lead her to have a fabulous career and I am so proud of her! You go Jade!! Show 'em how it's done. 🙂
July 31, 2010 at 5:06 am
Ugh. Tyra has no idea what she's doing with these makeovers. Jade's blonde hair was HORRRRRRRIBLE and I think THAT is what added to her looking older more than anything.
November 20, 2012 at 5:00 am
I have to agree with that comment. The blonde made her look much older than she was. She is however very beautiful, very exotic looking.
March 26, 2013 at 8:25 pm
I agree 100%! If a girl comes on the show with really nice long hair and she happens to be around Tyra's same complexion, then that girl is guaranteed to have Tyra say that for her makeover she has to have all of her gorgeous hair chopped off. And the girls who Tyra scalps NEVER win the whole thing. So she just had them cut off all their hair making them look old and slightly worn out and then she sends them packing. It should be a crime what she does to those poor girls!
August 5, 2010 at 12:56 am
She was one of my favorites; glad she is doing well.
September 3, 2010 at 12:13 am
It's obvious Tyra has a problem with women on the show with strong, non-commercial personalities; Jade was just too tough and raw for ANTM, no matter how great her photos and walk were. Tyra is always gonna pick a pick over a REAL woman.
September 3, 2010 at 7:28 am
I am so glad Jade is making her mark. I think she was one of the girls that did not need ANTM to make it. She is very beautiful and she knows how to model. I think that Tyra and the rest of them were just intimidated by Jade. By the way, I too, believe Tyra messed up with her makeover. Her big black head of hair was gorgeous.
September 4, 2010 at 11:16 pm
God blessed this girl with a MAD body! Look up 'hourglass figure' in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Jade.
September 15, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Hourglass?? I don't think so! She has no bust or hips!
June 27, 2012 at 8:36 am
How bout you check out the her bikini shoot. Be sure to put on your glasses not to miss it this time.
July 1, 2012 at 10:28 pm
He's talking about her natural waist line! Jades waistline is the perfect hourglass shape. It has nothing to do with how big her but and boobs are.
September 17, 2010 at 11:12 pm
Though I wasn't a huge fan of her during Cycle 6, it's cool to see her doing well. Or at least, did well during her career. She was 26 on the show after all, so it was probably short lived for her, but worth it!
September 19, 2010 at 10:17 pm
She will always be memorable; not for her face, but for her arrogance.
September 30, 2010 at 10:39 pm
I liked her, at least sometimes 😉
Some of her pictures were outstanding.
October 4, 2010 at 12:50 am
All I have to say is you look like a drag queen.
And to whom ever up above: "hourglass figure?"
That's reserved for someone with some major T & A.
October 10, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Джейд – лучшая! она очень хорошо заявила о себе . Тайра ее никогда не забудет! Джейд сделала шоу интересным! мне она нравится поскольку у нее интересная внешность
Rough Translation: "Jade – She was the best! She said so herself. I never will forget! She has made the show interesting! It is pleasant to me as at she has an interesting appearance."
October 12, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I hate her. She looks the same in every picture. She can't change her look. I agree that the blonde hair was a mistake; it did not suit her. I just really hate her personality and her look.
May 16, 2011 at 1:00 am
You "hate her"?
How could you possibly feel that strongly about someone you don't even know?
I can understand you not being a fan and being put off or even offended by Jade's arrogant personality. But, to say that you "hate her" is pretty ridiculous considering that it appears to you she was just an image on your television for an hour a week for a few weeks in your entire life.
You don't know her. How could you possibly hate her?
Hate is a very strong word, Camilla.
For you to come to a public place and declare that you "hate" someone you don't even know is absolutely NO reflection upon that person whatsoever, but it speaks volumes about you.
December 9, 2011 at 5:25 am
Calm the shit down. She's not the only person on the internet using the word "hate" you know. It's just an exaggeration for strong feelings, which to be honest i agree with. Don't be so personally vindictive. If she wants to say things like that, let her, it's free speech.
July 1, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Are you stupid? She said she hated her personality and her look. Ha ha. Why's speaks volumes is your ignorance. Learn to read. You need help. I feel sorry for you. You are obviously a very lonely person crying out for attention. If I were you I would try to get attention in a positive way. Don't twist other peoples words up. Stupid. Yes you are stupid.
April 2, 2012 at 1:49 am
I could even watch this cycle because I couldn't stand her. There is NOTHING good I can even say about her. p,s, They should have given her clown hair because she was a Bozo….
July 1, 2012 at 3:28 pm
How do you hate someone you have never met…?
November 24, 2013 at 8:08 pm
How do you 'love' someone you never met like some commenters do?
October 12, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Proof that an ugly aura can ruin a pretty face. She is such an arrogant snob. It makes her unlikeable and I'm glad she didn't win.
July 2, 2012 at 2:58 am
November 3, 2010 at 1:24 pm
I loooove her body!!!
But I just DISLIKE her in general! Only her body is what I like!
November 6, 2010 at 1:42 pm
она мне вобще не нравиться!!!!!!
November 6, 2010 at 1:44 pm
She told me just do not like it !!!!!!
November 20, 2010 at 11:46 pm
People shouldn't get so upset about her. She's really just a very sad figure, equating her ability to delude herself with strength.
November 30, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Wow… for a woman to start modelling at 26… I'm pretty amazed 🙂
(Even though she's really scary sometimes.)
December 5, 2010 at 1:37 am
Jade does have a colorful personality but she is beautiful and has a mad body! Tyra has been known to hate on ANTM! But Jade was still sucessful even though she did not win! Why because she's got the look! The first thing that Tyra did with her makeover was cut all Jade's indian hair off and dye it blonde! Now that was wack!
November 20, 2012 at 5:01 am
I agree!
December 29, 2010 at 8:22 pm
She is the best, ever!
January 26, 2011 at 7:56 am
One of the worst makeovers on the show. Jade was not my favorite by a long shot, but I felt pity for her. Cutting off that beautiful hair and dying it gold was not a fashion forward move. It roughened her features far too much. I wondered if her insecurity was amplified by the loss of something that made her feel feminine.
February 1, 2011 at 11:07 am
This speaking in 3rd person that she does is a sign of a narcissistic personality.
February 1, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Jade is clearly more insecure than the girls she picked on. Anyone who endlessly needs to brag about themselves and every mistake she makes is someelse's fault clearly has insecurity issues. Her personality is ugly and she looks like a drag queen.
February 5, 2011 at 9:20 am
Now that I think of it, I liked her, but she really was making up excuses every time and sometimes was too arrogant. But I also think she was real and gave soul to the show. I'm glad she made to the top 3 and that she's doing well!
February 7, 2011 at 4:12 am
Wouldn't have guessed that she was mixed with Indian — she looks half Chinese to me. Crazy, but beautiful. Glad to see she's still working as a model.
July 1, 2012 at 10:42 pm
Ha ha. I thought she was Chinees too. She has defiantly got that kind of look doesn't she? ESP when she wears a black dramatic eye with a red lip.
February 19, 2011 at 1:24 am
I LOVE JADE!!! She has amazing photos and won the most challenges. It's obvious she's a successful person! I don't care what the people above say about her. SHE ROCKS!!
March 4, 2011 at 3:58 am
In her bald shoot, the pose was obviously an attempt to mimic Yaya from a previous season's pose from the spider shoot.
April 1, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Look how beautiful Jade looks with her hair tied up in her pre-makeover photos! That's got to be one of the worst makeovers in ANTM history! I loved Jade on the show, although she definitely had a strong love-it or hate-it personality. I agree the Tyra always picks the "safe" models to win, and that's why none of the winners ever make it. She eliminates the people who have something different or unique, but that's what makes someone a star.
April 10, 2011 at 8:59 pm
She stressed me out throughout this cycle, picking on everyone else's weaknesses and putting down people, and she was DELUSIONAL, NARCISSISTIC, ARROGANT, MEAN, and oh so FAKE! I will only remember all the bad things about her. Her blonde hair made her look uglIer and about 40 years old, but on the positive side she had an AMAZING BODY! But this is TOP MODEL?
No way! She should have been voted off very early but maybe she was too good for TV ratings. I don't like her.
Memory: Her 1st CoverGirl TV ad with her walking and twirling and thinking she was so fabulous then couldn't get her lines? Cringe!
May 10, 2011 at 5:12 pm
I agree. Mollie Sue should not have been sent home even Jade herself said it. Bad or difficult girls like Jade, Robin (Cycle 1), Camille (Cycle 2), and most recently Alexandria (Cycle 16) seem to be good for ratings til it seriously time for them to go.
May 2, 2011 at 6:31 pm
I don't care what the situation was during the competition…that's what it is/was "a competition". She did great and she should go a long way. I support and encourage biracial women to move forward. You have to fight for what you want. Lot's of Love JADE…do that damn thing!!!!
May 11, 2011 at 8:30 am
well…she surprised me in her post antmn pix =xx
May 19, 2011 at 7:43 pm
I love Jade. She marched to the beat of her own drummer, and was certainly a fierce model. She was a tad overconfident and was humbled a bit, but she was a very complex and complicated person. Im glad she has become successful i knew she would.
June 9, 2011 at 6:28 am
She's a brilliant model.
June 24, 2011 at 8:56 pm
I love Jade, such a nut, one of the best bodies I think on antm. Takes a godd picture considering shes not classily pretty.
July 3, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Jade is my favorite ANTM contestant, ever! Yes, they ruined her naturally beautiful look with that whack blonde short cut, but she was still fierce in spite of it. Jade made me laugh out loud a lot. I'm so happy that she has been able to keep her career going.
July 7, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Jade,sei bellissima e bravissima.Un caloroso saluto dall'Italia.Ciao.
July 15, 2011 at 1:07 am
LOOOL JADE WAS HILARIOUS! This was the best cycle of ANTM EVER.
"This is not "America's Next Top 'Bestfriend'" HAHAHHHHHAA
Then her dance out of the room when she got sent home.
A bit full of herself and a bit bitchy, but she was still marching to her own drum, and good for her! :')
July 16, 2011 at 4:17 am
I read on Wiki Jade turned down the offer to be on Cycle 17 (All Star Edition made up of past models who were close but didn't win) She said the offer was "Bogus and one sided." It just shows she is still a bitch with a bad attitude.
July 1, 2012 at 3:24 pm
No not really everyone knew who was going to win that cycle
So it was not bitchy at all it was her stating the facts
July 25, 2011 at 6:27 am
Loved her. But she was her own enemy
July 30, 2011 at 11:49 am
Jade was one of the most hateful contestants in the entire ANTM history. Tough as my old boot, sinister, unkind, conceited and generally unlikable. Her conceit is the driving force of her career, if there was any. I don't understand people who admire her and the likes of her. She has no heart, or if I am wrong, her heart is made of croc hide, hahaha!
September 27, 2013 at 3:47 pm
I thought so too, but then there came Cycle 9's Bianca. And seriously, in comparison to her, Jade at least had some dignity and pride – and at least she wasn't such a coward.
August 12, 2011 at 2:02 am
Team Jade, Best Dramatic Walkout ever!!!
August 12, 2011 at 9:56 pm
She was soooooo annyoing!
August 31, 2011 at 4:11 am
She's sexy 🙂
September 3, 2011 at 10:32 pm
She's just a pain –' she'is not as beautiful as she seems to believe and she is soooo narcissic T_T I'm glad she didn't win
September 13, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I think she is lovely. Who are we to comment on her personality when we do not know her in person. That is negative perception and speak volumes on ourselves.
She speaks her mind and models well,..winning or losing is part of the game…
December 9, 2013 at 8:57 pm
"Who are we to comment on her personality when we do not know her in person."
Because that's what humans do. Someone presents themselves a certain way and we react to it.
"That is negative perception and speak volumes on ourselves."
Aren't you having a negative perception of others when you tell them they're wrong for having an opinion you disagree with? You don't know any of them in person. Seems a bit hypocritical to me. You can have an opinion, but others can't?
September 18, 2011 at 8:36 pm
You were robbed. You should have won ANTM. And I know that many will agree with me on this, that you have beautiful eyes. In fact, your eyes are more beautiful than all the stars of the heavens.
September 24, 2011 at 3:13 am
This is Americas Next Top Model….NOT Americas Next best Friend…Classic.
September 24, 2011 at 3:14 am
This is americas Next top model NOT Americas Next best friend……Classis Quote!!!
December 15, 2014 at 1:51 am
Best moment 😀
September 29, 2011 at 5:17 am
I loved Jade and I think she may have been misunderstood, people need to walk in someone else's shoes before they judge them
October 14, 2011 at 3:10 am
tyra cut jade hair because she need hair for make her wig lol lmfao!!
December 11, 2011 at 2:25 pm
I really really wish I had a waist that tiny! Not a fan of Jade though. Three wide leg/crotch shots – never a good sign. Didn't any of you learn from Janice Dickinson's posing class not to do that?
December 12, 2011 at 4:25 pm
i love her arrogant face,one of my fav.jade is the funniest ever in ANTM.. ;p
December 18, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Omg I had forgotten of that bitch! I hate her SO MUCH!
December 25, 2011 at 12:45 am
I absolutely abhorred Jade. She was arrogent, mean and, frankly, kind of unattractive. She has some alright pictures here, but she'll never be successful if she continues to have that terrible attitude.
February 20, 2012 at 4:07 pm
Il suo modo di fare non mi piace,ma senza alcun dubbio è bellissima ed è una vera modella,io opterei per delle capigliature meno afro,avrebbe un'apparenza meno aggressiva.Tanti auguri Jade,l'età che passa non conta quando una è brava nel suo mestiiere e ha una spiccata personalità.Un saluto dall'Italia.
February 29, 2012 at 1:01 pm
I HATED her on the show but DAMN that red mohawk picture is FIERCE!!!!
March 5, 2012 at 10:17 pm
I find her loathsome. May an asteroid fall upon her.
March 11, 2012 at 6:24 am
I thought Jade was the sexiest of all the seasons. Her pictures are beautiful and they should not have colored her hair….
March 11, 2012 at 9:14 am
To whomever wrote that Jade's modeling career is even bigger since ANTM- can you explain why the only pictures on this post are pics from ANTM, and homemade half-naked pics?
No high end lingerie, no haute couture fashion, just ass-out hooker pics she probably set her camera on auto-shoot to generate.
What fashion shows has she walked? What nationally or internationally known designers have used her? Remember, she was in the Pharell video BEFORE ANTM.
Pretty body, horrible attitude, no talent, & no career.
August 30, 2013 at 2:24 am
Google her, she has done lots of shots and even on her twitter she is still doing shoots as of today unlike the other models from this show. She should have been doing more high End shoots but I think that that Show and her attitude screwed that up. I can guarantee you that Tara Banks and the others told other companies not to book her and sabotaged her quite a bit.
March 17, 2012 at 3:38 am
too bad to the haters,she has proven she got what it takes..jus cos she was confident doesnt mean shes arrogant,its anoying esp when u lack it…but thats her her own worshiper…let her be…hrdworking and pretty to me..jade deserves the success
April 26, 2012 at 11:49 am
I just currently watched the whole entire show and it's cycles and I found Jade really arrogant and has some narcissistic issues, but you know, she's really funny! she doesn't even know probably but she says things that are so hilarious! haha I hate that I love her!
April 26, 2012 at 11:51 am
and she always refers to herself as "Jade" not 'I'. she refers herself as a noun. wtf? she really is something.
May 6, 2012 at 8:15 am
She has a thing about drawing attention to her crotch. Wtf.
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Watching her now and I do NOT enjoy watching and listening to her she's nastyyy! And arrogant! x
July 1, 2012 at 3:21 pm
She was my favorite I think she should have won an her personality was awesome if you ask me she's just being herself an that a person I would like to be friends with!
July 4, 2012 at 12:06 pm
I'm surprised she went on to be successful. Usually bullies are exposed for what they are, insecure bitches with too many issues. I guess it goes to show that bitch is in these days and that sticking up for each other is out.
August 1, 2012 at 9:59 pm
she is very very beautiful
September 27, 2012 at 11:02 pm
Am I the only person that reads Jades bio & says, "So." Nothing she, or any model, has done impresses me. Modeling has to be one of the most brainless & easiest jobs on the planet. Jade is NOT as hot as she thinks. As military/law enforcement, I work with a lot of men & I've asked them all if they thinks she's hot and NOT ONE (out of around 30 guys) SAID YES. If only Jade read these. I'm not a hater, far from it. I just call it like I see it & I don't see anything in her. She's ugly as far as I'm concerned. Thank God I've never seen her in ANYTHING & I pray it stays that way!!!!
September 28, 2012 at 4:53 am
Jade was headstrong and made far too many excuses for her shortcomings (i.e.-flubbing her covergirl lines), but I think she is sexally beautiful. (And yes, I just made that word up)
November 9, 2012 at 5:39 am
u actually thought jade shuldve won she is a fabulous model aside from the attitude
November 9, 2012 at 10:18 am
In my OPINION> Jade is a gorgeous woman and the camera does not add nor take away from her stunning looks. She has a versital image and an unidentified personality. Although beauty is only skin deep, 'your attitude determands you altitude.' I'd have to agree that ANTM was a little outta her league, however ladies, lets not forget ANTM is a 'reality TV Show'… lol
November 9, 2012 at 2:55 pm
You look old. I mean if you were 40 it'd be fine but you're not.

Even though her arrogant attitude got on my nerves sometimes i really did like like her in antm and i'm glad that she is making a name for herself. and she was right she was an undiscovered supermodel who has now been found! :3

jade is still my winner!!!!
December 21, 2012 at 4:47 am
Nice to see that she's had a successful modeling career.
March 1, 2013 at 10:35 pm
I loved Jade she was quite a unforgettable character. 🙂 I`m glad she`s having a successful modeling career. If they have another ALL STAR cycle i hope they pick Jade to come back but they better hurry as she is aging as we speak.
March 29, 2013 at 2:42 am
I watched part of a re-run of ANTM Season 6 and she constantly says "….maybe if I could have used more direction" after every time she lets her arrogance screw her up! Nonetheless, I'm glad she found success
April 21, 2013 at 3:42 am
She's such a narcissit !!!!!!!!!! She just talks to highly of herself! Bitch you have flaws just like everyone else!
May 21, 2013 at 9:26 pm
It was interesting to watch the show because of Jade. She isn't really one of that type of personality which i like, but she is a bitch who has an amazing body and strong looks, which i like! 🙂
July 11, 2013 at 1:17 am
She was highly entertaining on the show! However, for someone so obviously concerned about others' impression of her ("I am America's undiscovered supermodel, I am misunderstood, I am not arrogant") she conveys almost no self-distance. A classic example is when Joanie says to her "You're always being so defensive" and Jade says "No I'm not". Talk about being defensive! She contradicted herself all the time, saying she was humble but showing no effort to re-evaluate her words or actions. But I admire her persistence and her fierce looks. And I love her innovative vocabulary! Nice to see her do well.
August 2, 2013 at 2:03 am
Watching reruns…she takes a mean pic and because I'm a 'hairophile', I love the versatility of her natural hair. She rocks it!!
August 30, 2013 at 2:16 am
Jade has been the most successful out of all the others I believe and even til this day, she is still doing photo shoots and gets booked constantly, even after the TMZ nonsense. I do believe if she would have calmed that attitude down, she probably would have gotten more higher profile shoots.
August 30, 2013 at 2:21 am
It seems to me that Jade never had the right direction in life as far as modeling is concerned and probably could have been extremely successful instead of Successful by now.
September 25, 2013 at 1:44 am
I didn't like her on the show very much but she was still really funny and shes a good model. Im happy to see her do so well.
September 27, 2013 at 3:54 pm
At first I couldn't stand Jade at all – yes, beautiful body (her awful makeover is definitely not her fault. Srsl, this had to be one of the worst makeovers ever, together with Cycle 14's Anslee and Cycle 15's Sara and Cycle 9 winner Saleisha), but such a bad attitude. I didn't like how she was constantly picking on Gina – although Gina should have been stronger, yes, but that's no excuse for someone to bully another person!
However, Jade kinda redeemed herself when I watched Cycle 9 and saw how Bianca acted. Jade is by far not the meanest and most hateful person on ANTM ever – that place is taken by Bianca (after watching 17 cycles, I still think the same!). At least Jade was strong enough to be straight-forward and say the things she had to say into the ohter person's face, instead of acting like a backstabbing b***. She had at least some dignity and pride. And her Covergirl commercial was so much fun to watch – hers and Dominique's from Cycle 10 were the funniest ever 🙂
I'm not hating on Jade! And her post-ANTM photo shoots look amazing!
February 1, 2014 at 11:58 pm
Amazing how ones personality makes one ugly!
February 8, 2014 at 9:42 am
I really liked jade, i mean eventually. She really intensified the show and she made it absolutely interesting. To me, thats was the best cycle ever. She came on board with a plethora of experience. She was dynamic in the house. She literally put the house on fire. Look at all of those mini challenges she won, i mean by far she contributed to the intense excitement of the show. She was the focal point of the show. Tyra was intimidated by her truck record, the judges were intimidated by her humor and the gals saw her as their biggest competition. Honestly, she is truly gifted and talented. Lets face this, as a model she did win, but as a beauty pageant, she didn't win. She made me laugh out loud every step of the way. This was the best cycle of ANTM ever.

Jade is the fiercest bitch that has ever walked in to the antm. She is truly a model as she claimed. She helped catalyze, invigorate and redefine the concept of antm, especially when she stressed that the competition was not all about America's next best friend. Am sure her role hugely boosted the ratings of the antm and she inspired many girls the world over. She should be credited as the most out standing contestant ever to walk in the antm. Her walk on to the church runway shall forever remain my best moment of the antm ever. When i checked out her antm profile page, she has the most comments. Nevertheless, its good enough that she came third. That should remind all of us that sometimes we are not as good as we think. Best wishes Jade.
March 14, 2014 at 10:04 am
She was so pitiful. Towards the last few episodes I had to look away from the television when she would speak because she is just so disgusting and a complete idiot. I also think I may have gotten several headaches from rolling my eyes. It kills me to know she has/had a career from the show.
April 23, 2014 at 8:38 pm
July 9, 2014 at 11:24 am
Despite her over the top arrogant personality, she is memorable and while I don't condone her narcissism, it's great that's she's still modelling.
October 1, 2014 at 2:04 am
She was not my favorite but I'am glad she is doing great. Her photos are amaizing. She is a super model no matter what people think. Good for you Jade! Regards from Venezuela.
October 22, 2014 at 11:18 pm
I really really really wanted to like Jade. I thought she was pretty funny and absolutely gorgeous. But her arrogance was really a turn off. Everyone hates on her for the Gina thing, but to be frank, Gina really pissed me off. She wasn't a great model, at all, and she was about a strong as a wet paper bag. Jade definitely isn't the worst to ever be on ANTM (God I couldn't stand Camille or Robin) and I really did enjoy seeing her photos, but a little bit of humility would have done her some good.
November 5, 2014 at 6:09 pm
I love jade. She is the most likeable/entertaining villain ever on ANTM. I was surprised that her and Mollie Sue had never done modeling before the show, since the are both quite photogenic.
December 15, 2014 at 1:47 am
The BEST of america's next top model history!!
I love her, l saw cycle 6 so many times just to see her.
She deserved to win, l think she didn't cause she was already 26, but for me still the best 🙂
March 5, 2015 at 8:07 am
Jade is fierce. Period. Love her.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — A move by the state of Georgia to eliminate duplicate billing on Medicaid payments took a severe bite out of the shares of Amerigroup Corp. and other health insurers in trading on Friday.
In reporting its second-quarter earnings, Amerigroup AGP, -1.96% said it told state officials it found "anomalies" in its membership records in Georgia, prompting the state to investigate the matter. The state discovered it had made duplicate payments for patients with more than one Medicaid case number, and called for Amerigroup to return those payments.
Amerigroup said the return of those payments reduced second-quarter earnings by 16 cents a share. But the damage to shares was heavy, as shares were down more than 21% at one point. Shares ended the day down 18.4% to $55.
The news dragged down the shares of other Medicaid-dependent insurers, including WellCare Health Plans Inc. WCG, +1.35% , which dropped 8.4% to $43.85, and Centene Corp. CNC, +1.89% , which fell 6.7% to $32.81.
But analysts said that continuing cuts in overall Medicaid reimbursements — noted by Amerigroup officials on their earnings call — played more of a role in casting those shares down.
For the quarter, Amerigroup said net income was $44.3 million, or 83 cents a share, compared with $67.2 million, or $1.31 a share in the year-earlier period. Sales were $1.53 billion against last year's $1.44 billion.
Without the Georgia charge, Amerigroup would have reported earnings of 99 cents a share, but that still fell short of the $1.09 expected by analysts polled by FactSet Research.
The shares of another insurer, Coventry Health Care Inc. CVH, +0.13% , took a beating after the company said its full-year earnings would fall short of analyst forecasts. Shares dropped 7.7% to $32.81.
Coventry said net income was $224.5 million, or $1.51 a share, compared with the $1 million, or 1 cent a share, reported in the year-ago quarter. Sales were $3.03 billion against last year's $2.87 billion.
Adjusted earnings were 83 cents a share, ahead of the FactSet estimate of 76 cents a share. But for the full year, Coventry said it expected adjusted earnings of $2.80 to $2.95 a share, down from the FactSet estimate of $3.02.
Conversely, shares of Cerner Corp. CERN, +0.21% jumped after the health-care consultant offered a full-year outlook that beat estimates. Cerner jumped 7% to $66.49.
Cerner said its second-quarter net income was $72 million, or 42 cents a share, compared with the $55.5 million, or 33 cents a share, for the same period a year ago. Sales for the Kansas City-based company were $524.3 million against last year's $456 million.
Adjusted earnings were 44 cents a share, a penny ahead of the FactSet estimate, but for the full year, Cerner upped its forecast to a range of $1.80 to $1.83 a share, up from a previous range of $1.78 to $1.81 a share. The FactSet estimate had been for $1.70 a share.
And two Nashville, Tenn.-based hospital companies, Community Health Systems CYH, +3.18% and LifePoint Hospitals LPNT , made significant gains after offering favorable earnings reports.
Community said net income was $35.4 million, or 39 cents a share, compared with $70.1 million, or 74 cents a share, for the same period a year ago. Sales were $3.43 million against last year's $3.08 billion.
Community's adjusted earnings were 81 cents a share, 2 cents ahead of the 79 cents in the FactSet forecast.
LifePoint had a similar story. Net income was $40.3 million, or 79 cents a share, compared with $37.6 million, or 71 cents a share, from the year-ago period. Sales were $877.6 million against last year's $790.6 million.
Adjusted earnings were 77 cents a share, also 2 cents ahead of the FactSet forecast of 75 cents a share. But LifePoint also raised its full-year forecast to a range of $2.95 to $3.15 a share, from the previous estimate of $2.80 to $3.10 a share.
Community shares finished trading up nearly 4% to $25.84. LifePoint climbed more than 4% to $37.10.

When divorced or divorcing parents are struggling with contentious disagreements or cannot work well together, the children are often the ones who suffer the most or become lost in the shuffle of a divorce. In these cases, courts can recommend the services of a parent coordinator. Although parenting is something that should be left to parents, there are times when a third-party's intervention is necessary to protect the best interests of the children involved.
Musulin Law Firm, LLC, represents clients in parenting coordination and a range of other family and matrimonial law matters. From the firm's home office in Burlington County, New Jersey, Mount Holly lawyer Christopher R. Musulin brings more than 30 years of legal experience and a wealth of knowledge to every case the firm handles. The firm serves clients from all over the United States and overseas whose cases are presently or potentially venued in South Jersey counties such as, but not limited to, Burlington County, Camden County, Gloucester County and Mercer County.
When a court orders parenting coordination, a parenting coordinator observes the family's situation and makes parenting recommendations. Parenting coordination is particularly helpful in situations and conflicts involving:
- Child custody and visitation, including complex custody and unique parenting agreements
- Contentious divorces
- Situations involving domestic violence
In addition to more than 30 years of legal experience, Attorney Christopher R. Musulin has litigated or mediated thousands of divorce and family law matters successfully, and he tirelessly studies and researches the changing laws regulating divorce and family law matters such as parenting coordination.
It is important to work with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your rights and protect you and your children throughout the process.

Experts offer Linux migration pointers
As enterprises mull moves from proprietary Unix and Windows systems to Linux, experts suggest that decision makers keep an eye on potential front-end migrations as well.
Experts are urging enterprise IT shops to develop strategies for moving back-end systems like databases to Linux while paying close attention to advances in Linux on the desktop.
If an enterprise's IT organization doesn't have migration, virtualization, security and networking on its Linux to-do list today, it will be eating a competitor's dust tomorrow, said experts polled by SearchEnterpriseLinux.com.
Ken Milberg, a SearchEnterpriseLinux.com site expert, said companies should start focusing on migrating database servers from Unix or Windows to Linux, in addition to considering how they can use Linux on the desktop.
"It's just a matter of time before Linux makes real inroads on Microsoft turf. Red Hat is key here, as the long-awaited corporate desktop needs to be released," Milberg said.
"If nothing else, a Linux desktop pilot is a fantastic lever to use against Licensing 6.0," said Jeremy White, CEO and founder of CodeWeavers Inc., a St. Paul, Minn., vendor that offers tools that help enterprises migrate from Windows to Linux.
Matt Asay, chairman of Novell Inc.'s Linux business office, said that customers confronted with the challenge of learning a new operating environment should research vendors that can "ease the pain of migration to a new platform."
"IT customers need to start evaluating the various Linux providers, weighing the range of services offered, factoring in depth of experience and expertise," Asay said.
While most experts insist that IT shops should make Linux migration a top priority, some key players said that Linux is still something like a frontier town when it comes to using it in an enterprise environment.
"I could dive into a long list of really amazing features that Linux has to offer. For example, virtualization on an operating system level is going to change the face of IT as we know it today," said Juergen Geck, chief technology officer for Nuremberg, Germany-based SuSE Linux AG. "It's going to take just a little bit longer to make it as stable as it should be to become part of an enterprise software platform."
Two key enterprise areas where Linux is a strong but oft-overlooked contender are networking and security, experts said.
"They should be looking to make more use of Linux as Internet gateways," said David Mandelstam, president of Sangoma Technologies Corp., a networking vendor. "Linux is a child of the Internet, and its networking capabilities have been developed from the original Unix base. It is a natural choice for all firewall and Internet security-related functions. It is also a world-beater as a router."
Sistina Software Inc. chief technology officer Matt O'Keefe, a SearchEnterpriseLinux.com site expert, said enterprises need to consider their storage infrastructures when planning migrations to Linux.
"Integrating their Linux deployments with their storage area networking (SAN) infrastructure can help prevent many integration problems in the future." O'Keefe said. "Make sure all your storage hardware and software vendors play well together, including the HBAs, switches and storage arrays, with the particular Linux kernel series you plan to run. Make sure your distribution vendor has the appropriate support you need for your corporate SAN infrastructure."
It goes without saying that in order to make any Linux implementation a success, IT shops must emphasize strong management and training. Asay stressed Linux training as the most important focus for IT pros: "To get maximum benefit from the open-source revolution, IT pros/shops need to be able to participate, or at least to customize what they're bringing in the door."

Police put brakes on rocket-powered skateboarder in outback Qld
A man has been issued with a ticket for riding a rocket-propelled skateboard on the main street of a western Queensland town.
Police in Barcaldine, east of Longreach, spotted the skateboarder on Oak Street about 10:00pm (AEST) on Saturday.
District officer Inspector Michael Fawcett says the man was not wearing a helmet and officers were surprised to witness the dangerous incident.
"They noticed him activate something that looked like a rocket that was attached to the rear of the skateboard," he said.
"When they did actually catch up with him, he'd actually duct taped a small rocket to the skateboard and was using that to propel himself down the road.
"I understand the rocket was commercially available. On talking to the officers there, they didn't notice that it made a whole heap of difference to his speed."
Inspector Fawcett says he has never heard of anything quite like it before.

By default, Ubuntu boot loader grub doesn't use any theme. You can customize the background and fonts by GUI tool Grub-Customizer, but it's not beautiful enough. Here's a simple guide installing Grub2 themes (background, logos, fonts, scroll bar, etc).
First, download themes. Search 'grub' on gnome-look.org, you can find many themes for grub2. For example, I downloaded the Windows 7 Aero theme for grub2.
If it gives a
install.sh in the theme package, you can easily install the theme by running the script via root privilege. In terminal, navigate to extracted theme folder and execute:
sudo ./install.sh
Or, you can manually install the theme. Put the Aero/ folder under /boot/grub/themes (create the themes folder if not exist).
Then edit "/etc/default/grub" file, add this line:
GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/Aero/theme.txt #PATH_TO_THEME.TXT
Finally, update grub to take effect by command:
sudo update-grub
