Vanguard sets record with customer inflows of $130 billion
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Vanguard Group said customers had invested $130.4 billion in its mutual and exchange-traded funds during the first 11 months of 2012, beating the fund industry's previous annual inflow record.
The flows into Vanguard funds, mostly into equities, exceeded the previous annual record of $129.6 billion set by JPMorgan Chase & Co in 2008, according to fund research firm Strategic Insight. Vanguard's previous high was $104 billion, achieved in 2007, Vanguard said in a statement on Wednesday.
Investors and financial advisers have favored low-priced, passively managed index funds in 2012, playing to Vanguard's historic strengths. The trend has also benefited BlackRock Inc's iShares ETF unit, while hurting more traditional managers like American Funds, Dodge & Cox and Janus Capital Group Inc.
Vanguard's success is also due to its efforts to offer more products catering to self-directed retail investors, particularly ETFs, said Avi Nachmany, research director of Strategic Insight in New York.
"In the last few years, Vanguard has established a broader footprint," he said. "They have become a participant in virtually every part of the investment landscape."
Inflows remain "strong" in December, Vanguard spokesman John Woerth said. He declined to give a dollar total for the month.
Contrary to much of the fund industry, Vanguard said the majority of the flows, $72.3 billion, went into stock funds. Another $54.4 billion went to bond funds and $6.3 billion into balanced funds.
"Investors have flocked to low-cost index funds when investing in equities and we can see Vanguard provided both," said Tom Roseen, head of research services at Lipper, a unit of Thomson Reuters. Vanguard's actively managed stock funds actually had net customer withdrawals, Roseen noted.
Customers withdrew a net $2.5 billion from money market funds, Vanguard said. JPMorgan's 2008 record was fed largely by investors seeking the safety of money market funds.
Vanguard might have had even greater customer inflows - at least in the short term - if not for its decision to change benchmark indexes for some of its largest ETFs. In October, Vanguard said it was switching 22 funds away from benchmarks provided by MSCI Inc to cut costs.
As a result of the change, some institutional investors that were required to use funds tracking MSCI benchmarks had to switch to competitors, said Dave Nadig, director of research at ETF information firm IndexUniverse.
For example, investors pulled a net $900 million in November from the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, which is shifting to an index created by FTSE Group, while adding $2.3 billion to BlackRock's iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index, according to data from Morningstar.
"The switch definitely slowed down or reversed their ETF flows in those products," Nadig said. Still, setting a new inflow record "is an enormous achievement and a vindication of Vanguard's core value proposition," he said.
Vanguard, based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, had total assets under management of $1.95 trillion at the end of November and is the largest U.S. mutual fund manager and third-largest ETF manager.

Once you've taken your training course and bought the safety gear, check out our test-drive comparison of six 250cc motorcycleslightweight and easy-to-manage bikes that are perfect for new riders, but still ready to burn up the pavement.

In this group of tiny two-wheelers, the Hyosung is a giant. Unlike many other 250-cc bikes, which are built on shrunken frames to fit smaller engines, the GT250 uses the same chassis as a full-size GT650. It's like a Korean version of a Ducati Monster, but includes some rough spots. The front brake feel is mushy, and it takes a fistful of lever to slow down the bike. And while the fuel-injected twin does pack reasonably good punch and sounds throaty, the engine's vibration buzzes the handlebars. Moderate speeds on twisty roads are comfortable, but the suspension wallows slightly when pushed. "The handling was quite vague throughout the Glendora Mountains," PM contributor Basem Wasef says. Hyosung says it'll fix the problem for 2011 models with a new rear shock. Even with its shortcomings, at $3699, the GT250 is one of the best bargains of the group.

AT&T: Pair-bonding to come in late 2008
AT&T said today it expects to begin pair-bonding advanced DSL lines in late 2008, pushing back the expected arrival of what the company says is an important part of its fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) initiative.
Industry News
Briefing Room
AT&T has long cited the promise of pair-bonding in response to criticisms regarding the bandwidth limitations of its FTTN architecture. Pair-bonding would not quite double but significantly increase the bandwidth AT&T delivers to customers homes, the company has said, by adding a second pair of copper lines to each house and combining their outputs at the customer premises.
A year ago, AT&T imagined using pair-bonding before 2007 ended. It later revised that outlook, predicting 2008 in general as the time frame. Late 2008 is the most recent language the company has adopted, spoken by Chief Financial Officer Rick Lindner during the companys quarterly earnings call today.
Promising the introduction of a whole-home digital video recorder service this year as well as a second stream of high-definition television (HDTV), Lindner added, A third enhancement that will be important to us going forward--because it will enable additional HD streams where theyre required--will be pair-bonding, which we expect late in 2008.
AT&T was not immediately available to elaborate on the subject, nor was the chief supplier of its FTTN network, Alcatel-Lucent. A year ago, Alcatel-Lucent said it was waiting for customer premises equipment vendors to introduce bonded VDSL2 gear before it could add the necessary software to its own access products.
If technological challenges were slowing the rollout of bonded VDSL2, it wouldnt surprise Kermit Ross, a consultant with Millennium Marketing. It sounds pretty simple, Ross said. You basically break the signal in half, send each half down the two [pairs of] wires, and put them back together in a single stream at the other end. But I suspect--especially when some packets, like video packets, need to arrive in order--it may be pretty difficult.
The practical problems may be pretty intractable too, he added. AT&Ts got to have a couple different kinds of residential gateway boxes--one for close work and one for far away work. Also, all the operating systems are oriented toward keeping track of one circuit--one pair of wires--at a time. All of a sudden, you have to keep track of two. It aint as easy as it sounds.
In addition, others have pointed out that a second copper pair is not available in all areas. And the amount of bandwidth that pair-bonding adds is variable, depending on distance and the proximity of the bonded lines.

Hopefully, for WVU, for its fans, a perfect storm arises. Right now, however, there is but a light mist. Officials at the school might be forced to make the best of a bad situation.
The best might be a patched-up version of the worst BCS football conference. If, that is, the Big East survives as a BCS conference.
The most ghastly scenario for WVU? Rutgers and Connecticut are admitted to the ACC and Louisville moves to the Big 12. That leaves football schools Cincinnati, South Florida and West Virginia. Period. (The good news? They could split all those exit fees. The bad? Eight teams are needed to constitute a conference.)
If perchance all six of the above remain after the picking season, the Big East could add teams like Air Force, Navy, Temple, Central Florida and East Carolina. Keep in mind, though, the Mountain West and Conference USA have been advancing the idea of a combined football setup. That might be more attractive than a crippled Big East, especially if the league is stripped of its BCS berth.
Have WVU officials considered independent status? Yes, but then there would be no conference income. Also, scheduling football games would be a nightmare. Most of the expanding power conferences will move to nine league games, leaving only three openings for non-conference matchups. Why take on a dangerous WVU team in addition to nine SEC, etc., teams?
West Virginia already has a scheduling problem for next year with TCU bailing.
So don't count on the independent route. Yes, WVU was an independent for years before the Big East. But ditto almost every school in the Northeast. Scheduling wasn't a problem.
Instead, count on WVU doing its best within what's left of the Big East. There are the exit fees to consider. There's the minimal television money. There are the NCAA basketball money units earned via league teams in the tournament. There's basketball.
Is there an outside shot WVU can still land within one of the power conferences? Yes. Mountaineer fans just shouldn't get cozy with the idea. The West Virginia athletic department is sweating. The vibes coming from the athletic department aren't good.
If West Virginia, though, doesn't land safely, it will be a shame. It will be a shame for the man in the Slaton jersey. It will be a shame for all like him, the WVU fans who live and breathe Mountaineer football.
These hills, which sometimes aren't alive with the sound of music, but, rather, Tony Caridi's voice calling games, wouldn't be the same if WVU is left standing. Not after the school fought and scratched to become a Top 25 program. Not after its proud fans experienced the sweet taste of BCS victories and lofty final rankings.
It would be a shame if, after all that, the Little Program That Could simply can't.

Trento to Rome
Our last day in Trento, went out in the morning for a ride to stretch the legs after yesterday. I found a fantastic bike path which runs next to the Adige River so followed that for little while. Had to stop on the way back to let a herd of sheep, goats and donkeys pass which is something you don't see back home.
I finished off by climbing up a large rocky outcrop which overlooks Trento called Doss Trento. The gradient was 15% + but only fairly short. Up ...
Race Day
... the evening with some other Sutho people, one of whom won both the Road Race and TT in her division (65+). Had dinner at Forst which is a German themed restaurant, I had the Stinko which was a big pork knuckle, pork sausage, sauerkraut and potatoes while Rach shared a massive veal schnitzel. Finished off with gelato.
Tomorrow off to Rome on the Frecciaargento which is the silver high speed train (the second fastest after the frecciarossa).
The day before...
Went out this morning to scope out climb #2, headed south towards Rovoreto which is about 15km south of Trento. The climb is over 750m in elevation from top to bottom but no really steep sections, so spun up it in an easy gear so as not to tax the legs too much before tomorrow. Passed through a little village called Castellano before hitting the descent - superfast with some 80kmph sections without even pushing it.
Had a rest during the ...
First Full Day in Trento
After last nights opening ceremony Rach and I came back to the hotel and crashed, both pretty buggered after the trip here. Still being on a Sydney sleep pattern, I woke up at 0200hrs and couldn't get back to sleep again so after a breaky of fresh croissants, pastries, etc I went for my first proper ride.
Once again, got lost in the rabbit warren of little streets in the main part of town but eventually found ...
... Trevor had some tips on the route as hes has been here since the weekend.
After that, Rach and I headed into town for the opening ceremony, trying to keep the eyes open by then. It was held in the Piazza Duomo which is quite spectacular and a cloud shrouded moon made for some good pics.
Had some pasta for dinner and headed back to the Hotel after that, try to catch up on some sleep...

SSA, IRS take different paths on sequestration furloughs
The Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration two of the largest federal agencies with very public missions are taking divergent paths when it comes to dealing with the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration. IRS says it is planning for five to seven furloughs days, while SSA says it hopes to forego furloughs through alternative savings.

Accelerate and Streamline for Better Customer Service
For government agencies already striving to do more with less, demands to improve customer service present a complex challenge to staff, systems, and technology which may already be pressed to the limit. In addition to federal mandates, such as President Obama's Executive Order 13571 to streamline service delivery and to improve customer service, many citizens now expect to interact with government using new self-service, web-based interfaces, which can be difficult to support on the aging technological infrastructures in many government agencies. And in times of economic downturn, citizens' need for responsive government services rise sharply as pressure on agencies' customer service operations increasefrom the top down and the grassroots up.

Final Farewell: The Culture of Death and the AfterlifeMartyrdom | |
Martyrdom of St. SebastianMichele Desubleo studied under Guido Reni of the Bolognese school of Italian painting. The Bolognese School flourished between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Italy. Typical of the Baroque style that was popular during this period, Desubleo organized his Martyrdom of St. Sebastian around a series of diagonals to create a dramatic, dynamic scene. Desubleo's version follows conventional portrayals of St. Sebastian in which he is tied to a column and pierced with arrows. According to legend, Sebastian was a soldier in Diocletian's army. After converting to Christianity, he took advantage of his position to help other imprisoned Christians. When his activities were discovered, he was tied to a column, shot with arrows and left for dead. A widow named Irene saved him, but he was eventually seized again and clubbed to death. Sebastian was elevated to sainthood during the high Middle Ages. Since his skin was mutilated by arrows, St. Sebastian was invoked against the plague and other skin diseases. He was also the patron saint for athletes, archers, and tapestry makers. Michele Desubleo |

7 Apps That Manage Your Money For You
A bevy of money management apps have flooded the smartphone market over the last few years. Here are the best of the bunch.
A bevy of money management apps have flooded the smartphone market over the last few years. Here are the best of the bunch.
A Best Buy online survey is asking participants how they would feel about a 42-inch HDTV from Apple. The specs it describes are impressive. But at $1,499, Apple's plan to revolutionize the way we watch TV could be priced out of the market.
Apple may be ready to think inside the box -- the television box, that is. One of the juiciest nuggets in Walter Isaacson's authorized Steve Jobs biography is that the iconic tech visionary was working on an actual Apple-branded television as one of his final projects at the company.
On Monday, Apple unveiled iCloud, which will allow users to store digital files on remote servers, and access them through smartphones, PCs or tablets. This should give a boost to iTunes, but that accounts for only about 2% of Apple's value. The real gain will be in how iCloud adds to the appeal of Apple's more lucrative devices.
Steve Jobs received a standing ovation at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference Monday as the company unveiled its iCloud hosted computing service. But despite Jobs' anticipated participation, investors should not expect a huge upswing in the company's stock, one expert says.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs will take a break from medical leave to deliver the keynote speech at next week's Apple conference, the company said...

why would you buy your dad a car with his money ? he didn't seem thrilled ether. lame. TEAM ASA
why would you buy your dad a car with his money ? he didn't seem thrilled ether. lame. TEAM ASA
GG my, my, my get a job girlfriend. It's nice to have your parents bankroll, and enabling you to depend on them and not yourself. You don't give yourself enough credit. Walk to the edge and fly you definitely have the courage to do so, so step out of your shell, and make the haters jealous. Your attitude only defeats who you really are, let that defense "ego" go.
I like GG, I dont care what anyone says. While she has anger issues, she is the realest of them all. Also, does anyone else think that Asa's friend was completely out of line for budding into a conversation between friends that had NOTHING to do with her? Who was she????
GG said something that especially caught my attention when talking about her anger problems .. She said that she had to protect herself in high school and so those emotions still come out. I was wondering if others gave GG a hard time in high school because she came from Iran?
I think one very positive thing about having this show about Persians is that in some ways it might actually help the peace process - Showing that Persians are just like anyone else in America..these just happen to be rich and living in B.H. but never the less have the same range of emotions we can all relate to.
Asa! I love your music, I dont understand why your producer friend said that your music only appealed to persians..EVERYONE LOVES IT!! keep your great music style and come out with a cd!
Is funny because some of their name means something in Spanish. Reza means Pray Asa-Aza is grill
Well if GG got a grip on her temper she could actually be a stylist herself cause she has more than amazing taste. That outfit at lunch with MJ and that dress at her parents anniversary were both diva.com. But boo boo you REALLY do need to come off your dads dime. It's not a good look at your age.
Anita is the real beauty and seems to be nice as well. GG, omg, she goes off halfcocked every five mintes!
Where was GG's swan dress from on the last episode or who makes it. I really want it!! Please help!! I want to wear something like that for my bridal shower!
I now have some sympathy for gg. Seeing how her father humiliated her on tv, and her sis also. Wow. Still, if she could positively channel those anger issues and get a productive job with the skill set she has (she has an eye for fashion, accessories, women's defense) I believe she would be happier, realize self-esteem and self-respect, and put her father and sister's manner of treating her on the back burner.
Dear Bravo, I completely disagree with the viewers who write get rid of GG and the show would be better. It would'nt! GG is the ingredient that makes the whole screwdupoverindulgedspoliedbrat that we scream at each week when we watch the show. Although negative, for the most part Bravo has succeeded in getting a reaction from the viewers (myself included) about this show. In fact if the viewers comments are any indication, I wager the show will return for a second season. Afterall We're ALL taking time out of our busy schedules to post a comment on this blog. Just saying...
To GG: It's not really a gift if you use your parents own money to buy them something. Before you brush off the haters and label them as jealous please know: spoiled little girls who always need a man to bankroll their lives are not something of envy. Woman to woman, it's an embarrassment.
am i the only one who thinks their friend, i think his name is David was on "millionaire matchmaker"?
Get rid of GG and the show would be great. Focus less on her and more on the rest of the cast. They are more interesting and don't make us cringe at their words and actions. GG clearly is unaware there is a recession going on and people are hurting. Spoiled Brat!
GG is a one way MESS. Get out there and get a career/job ect. Bet ten to one that beeoch has never volunteered anything but her Daddy's credit card info.
I am loving Reza more and more with each episode. I love his humor, the way he talks and just everything in general, he's GREAT!!! His blind date was way too young for him but he will find someone because he seems very,very genuine and as he said from the beginning very HUMBLE so it will come in time. There's someone for everyone but sometimes we just need to be a little patient. In the long run it all works out. I think he makes this whole show. He's awesome. Thanks for being who you are Reza. God bless you. Never change, no matter what, for no one. Now, GG you have got to get a grip. Your temper is off the hook and no matter how much money you have, when you get ticked off and act the way you do, you are no better than I am. In fact, you do act like you say so often "ghetto!!" It makes you look cheap and I'm sure you don't like anything cheap so get it together girl. You need to grow up and stop acting like a spoiled brat (even if you are). It's really not very becoming because no man is going to stand for a wife like that. So please GG, cut it out!
I wonder if GG ever watches the episodes and, if she does, if she's able to admit the truth even when it's staring her in the face. I can understand her feeling threatened by any woman she's in the company of. Less GG, more Reza, Sammy, Asa, and Anita.
This show is a show about nothing..put's Seinfield to shame! These people's lives are really not that interesting and I'll be very surprised if this show comes back for a second season. Bravo should have just done a special or something about Persian's, but I think it's going to be a real snooze and they will be really reaching to make any of the episodes worth watching...sorry! Reza is the only one that's even likable.
Asa"s music is awesome! I love it! I hope we get to see and hear more of it. I love her and her talent.
GG, I feel where your anger comes from...trying to prove yourself worthy for most of your life. I think you have a warm loving heart, but after being hurt over and over, you got bitter, with a lack of trust that people like you for you. I hope that someone you can trust comes into your life, and fills you up to the brim with love so you can overlook the little things that set you off...(I know...I am similar, except I am probably what you would classify as ugly, because I don't have a natural beauty or access to purchased beauty, but I liked what you said about ugly meaning the soul...I agree there are many of those around)...love and light

Desert of Maine
William Tuttle came to Freeport in 1797 to farm potatoes, but his deadly combination of clear-cutting and overgrazing caused enough erosion to expose the glacial desert hidden beneath the topsoil. The shifting dunes, which are 70ft deep in some areas, cover entire trees and the old farm's buildings. Admission includes a 30-minute tram tour and lots of kiddy activities.

Nestling in central Japan, Kanazawa is a beautiful city to visit, since it faces mountains on the one side and the wondrous Sea of Japan on the other. It also has some fantastic sights to see, with the Kenrokuen Gardens being one of the best in Japan, certainly amongst the top three. The Kanawaza Castle Park is a real testament to Japanese splendor and tranquillity. The shopping is also fabulous here and if you can, invest in some handicrafts. Or just take a trip around some of the historic houses in the city and enjoy the wonderful ambience of this very cultured and refined destination.
But because this is such a busy city, make sure that you book your hotel room in Kanawaza before you visit, by using EasyToBook.com, where all your needs are catered for: great if you are looking for a cheap hotel so that all your money can be spent shopping!

Non-scale victories! Please share!!
I love non-scale victories -- as important (sometimes more) as the numbers on the scale!!
I went shopping for some new clothes because I need some that actually fit. Of course, I had to guess at sizes and try more than one. So the final verdict.... Size 14 pants Size Large shirts I also take lots of measurements. Here are my losses so far (in inches): Neck: 1 Left arm: 1.5 Right arm: 1 Left wrist: .5 Right wrist: .25 Bust: 5.5 Rib cage: 5 Waist: 8.5 Abdomen: 12 Hips: 8.25 Left thigh: 3.75 Right thigh: 3.75 Left calf: 1.75 Right calf: 2.25 Left ankle: .75 Right ankle: .75 I have to add that I have 4 kids, and the baby weight that has been unsheddable was from my second baby. After #3 and #4, I lost the 15 or so pounds that I gained with them and then reached the post-#2 baby weight and couldn't get any lower. And then I gained some on my own. I have FINALLY broken through that wall and now see numbers that I last saw when I was pregnant with #2 and gaining weight. That baby is 13!!!! What non-scale victories have YOU enjoyed lately?!
Inches lost: Bust -8.75 Waist -11.75 Abdomen -15.5 Hips -10 |

I have been on this for two months, and have lost 30 pounds so far...and here are some of my non scale victories
1. I can put on/take off my size 14 jeans without unbuttoning or unzipping them. 2. Last week a friend of mine commented how baggy my jeans were, and asked me when I was going to get jeans that fit. I smiled and told her that the jeans I was wearing was a size smaller than when I started Medi, and I had bought them only two weeks ago 3. I was running late to a meeting last week, and I sprinted to the office from the parking lot, and it actually felt GOOD to run 4. I am able to cross my legs now 5. When I smile, you can see my dimples now 6. When I was overweight, salads were a joke for me to have alone as a meal. Now I can't even finish one, I get so full. 7. Yes I have cheated on this diet, no one's perfect. However, I am able to practice self restraint now. When I do cheat, I don't inhale 6 cookies...I am able to stop at one or two bites of whatever I'm enjoying, and I don't beat myself up over it. I just make an effort to eat better the rest of the day. 8. A girlfriend of mine came up to me a few weeks ago and said "I never noticed before, but you have great breasts"...shouldn't she have bought me dinner before talking to me like that? 9. Before Medi, I was at 1-2 cups of coffee a day, and about 1-2 diet sodas daily. Now I'm lucky if I drink 1 of either a week. 10. The best non-scale goal: I'm learning to love myself again Before Medi, I did everything I could to avoid looking in the mirror. I even cleaned the bathroom in the dark so I wouldn't have to see my reflection...I never wore make-up, never styled my hair, never wore cute outfits..I just didn't care about myself...After I dropped 20 pounds, I went out and started getting cute clothes. I bought make up and got a fabulous haircut...now I actually care about how I look because I like the way I look and feel, and doing this diet has showed me that anything is possible if I put my mind to it. I've already started tackling other things in my life that I thought I couldn't accomplish, and it's all to this diet. Thank you Medi! |

Hi Robin, nope, I go to a clinic Must have been somebody else! This is my 2nd time around though. I lost 100 pounds on this diet before and then gained it all back while getting pregnant with my 3rd child and then on bedrest with my pregnancy. But I'm confident I can do it all again!
Victory this week! I put on a skirt on Sunday for church that I had bought after having my son last June. When I bought it it didn't "really" fit.. couldn't zip the side all the way but I was sure my belly would go back down. Well, it never did.. until now! Zipped that sucker all the way up with room to spare! Woohoo!

Oh I've seen lots of non-scale victories, especially since I don't like to weigh myself, numbers on a scale just freak me out. I know it's all mental but I can't help it. My sunglasses are getting looser and looser and slide off my face now when they used to fit just right. Last year's sunglasses did the same thing which is why I bought some new ones this year now these are falling off. My cheek bones are more defined than they used to be. My watch is so loose it spins around my wrist now, it has the medal band that can't be adjusted and it used to fit me just right. I went from a women's size 5x shirts to a medium now. I love salads now, and sweets, jjunk and white bread I don't like anyore. Most sweets taste too sweet. I don't drink sodas anymore, I went from 2 huge cups of coffee per day to one small/normal size cup of coffee a day. I drink lots of water. Every single thing I've ever worn I've had to replace for smaller sizes.

I'm having a bad week, but I think mine would be that I made cupcakes for my husband's work yesterday (and had to make them into cake balls - it was not my day for baking), and I had to taste to make sure everything tasted good (then spit it out), but realized that I am not really craving sweets anymore. Yes, I do, kind of, but I realized that I'm more craving things like apples and cheese or dark chocolate and strawberries. That's HUGE for me.

I lost the first 40 pounds so quickly that I actually fell forward running UP the stairs at work one day. I was so startled and had to stop and figure out how I did that....Seems like I used to have to HURL myself up a short flight of stairs to get momentum going to make it easier. So there I was hurling my body up the stairs minus 40 pounds but using the same amount of "force" that I was using before! Really made me laugh, and feel GOOD. Made my husband laugh too when I told him about it.
Last week, A co worker told me I needed to buy smaller scrubs. I told her these WERE my smaller scrubs! (actually my second size down in smaller scrubs but I didn't tell her that!) Best of all....my many kids posting pics of this grandma with her grandbabies on their facebook pages and me not cringing like I used to, wondering who all was going to see how bad I looked. Its just nice to feel NORMAL. Not skinny...normal. Now the challenge of keeping it all off! |

And LOL at the scrubs! I put on one of my older pair of xlarge pants and they were like tents on me, way too big, the crotch part was almost to my knees! It's good though, I like those signs. I need at least mediums now. Last edited by ~PaperMoon~; 02-14-2012 at 10:35 PM.. |

It can be anywhere and it should still show up on the map. Doesn't matter if it drops off-screen. Besides, isn't that exactly the reason of implementing it? If it drops right next to you, there's a pillar of light.
True, but as far as i know that was the original intention with the minimap-ping. It just didn't ping when stuff dropped off-screen, if even just barely off. That and the ping was so underwhelming that it didn't really draw any attention. I usually notice the giant, glowing pillar of awesome, but if i carried on before the pillar started glowing, then i would definitely miss it.
Of course, this is all just in my own case. -

How close do you have to be to the drop? In all the videos I have found so far, they all see the legendary drop and then checks out the icon. Either that or they do not mention if they had it drop off-screen and cleared the map and then checked for the markers. -

I decided to use my monk's old Inna's just for kicks and it turned out pretty well:
This build carries me pretty quickly through mp0-3
I still have my IK boots and a similar amulet to Flavor of time lying around for the 5 set for when i go on higher mps. It enables me to get Bloodthirsty instead of Unforgiving, which solves most of my problems when going against reflect damage.
When going higher I also have a Litany with ias and a Wailing host with crit dmg, but that's only because I found both of them recently.
I can really feel the ias from amulet and inna's when using hota and when sprinting, so I can only say go for some of it. -

The crafted stuff isn't any worse or have any restrictions on their ability to roll affixes compared to the 63's you find in act 3.
Though being unable to roll a main stat lower than 200 is a kind of restriction. -
posted a message on Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from WizArt
All crap. Waste of time.
So is going out farming an equal amount of amulets from elites only to likely roll lower stats than those amulets, right?
Although, when farming those amulets, you would get demonic essences which you could then use to craft another round of amulets without even having to go out killing stuff. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Remember the 15.4-inch MSI Turbobook GX600 gaming laptop with the 'turbo' overclocking button? Well, the MSI GT725 is its faster, more intimidating relative. It too packs a turbo button, which can, according to MSI, make its already powerful quad-core CPU up to 20 per cent faster than it would be in a standard laptop. It's also very well-suited to gaming and has Blu-ray playback capability, meaning it could be the ideal desktop replacement.
The GT725 is available to buy now from Amazon.co.uk for around £1,200.
The GT725 is seriously ugly. MSI has taken what is a fairly inoffensive-looking laptop and ruined it by spraying its edges in red paint, creating an effect which, at best, is reminiscent of cheap red nail varnish. We presume MSI's logic is that buyers of powerful gaming hardware are drawn to bright colours. Perhaps nobody in its design team has noticed that the PlayStation 3 is black and the Xbox 360 is white.
Looks aside, MSI's done a fairly good job with the GT725's design. Its 395 by 35 by 278mm chassis is about as compact as 17-inch machines get, and it weighs just 3.2kg, so it's fairly easy to carry around. MSI tries to ram this point home by bundling the GT725 with a 'free' gaming rucksack. This, ironically, is more attractive than the laptop itself, so you needn't worry about beat-downs from the fashion police on your way to LAN parties.
Large gaming laptops tend to have great input-output connectivity, and the GT725 is no different. The left side is home to modem and Ethernet ports, two USB ports and a Blu-ray optical drive. The front edge has an infrared receiver, which lets you use third-party remote controls with the laptop. The right side gets the most loving, however. It packs two additional USBs (one of which doubles as an eSATA port), four-pin FireWire, ExpressCard/34, a four-in-one memory-card reader, and four separate audio jacks.
It's pretty hard to get the keyboard and mouse wrong on laptops of this kind, but MSI has tried its best to do just that. The keyboard itself is fine, and even includes a dedicated numerical keypad. However, the selector buttons aren't up to par. They're cut directly from the chassis in a sideways 'S' shape, where the semicircle sections of the S represent the buttons. It's a clever, and somewhat attractive, design, but each press causes your thumb to sink into the cut-away lines, which is quite an odd sensation. It's almost as if you're placing your digits directly into the chassis with each press, and that's unnerving. Thankfully, MSI has chucked in a 'free' 3200dpi USB gaming mouse.

Was true? Maybe the site has lying... maybe!

"Kids never lie. They can sense out whether you're sincere about what you're doing and what you're not, and they've really accepted those two. Those two fit in with the plan and with our program. Super. You couldn't ask for a better fit and just two super kids and super guys."
The two ran several plays together on Friday and Riffe said a chemistry is already growing between them.
"Me and Jon get along great," Riffe said. "Me and him were kind of in the same situation so we immediately became really good friends and I think we'll get along great the whole year. We're getting pretty comfortable with each other so far after knowing each other for such a short period of time."
Should Alexander earn the starting job, it won't take long for him to get thrown into the fire. GW's first game is a home date on Aug. 29 against South Charleston, a game he and probably a lot of Black Eagles are eagerly anticipating.
"That's a good team, it will be a battle and we'll see which ones match up and which ones don't," Alexander said. "I believe I might have some type of target on my head, but I have a good line that will protect me.
"It's a lot of love up here. It's a family atmosphere and that's what really counts."
Edwards said he is excited to learn just what kind of players Riffe and Alexander really are.
"I haven't seen much of them play - I've never seen Draven play," Edwards said. "I've only just heard good things, and you look at a piece of paper and he's got great stats.
"I've seen Jon play one time a year and he was always on the scouting report that you had to take care of business with him. I'm just hoping for them to do the same things and do what they do. We're not going to try to over-coach anybody."
Whether GW will finally take the last step in winning a state championship will be determined soon enough, but for now, Edwards seems to have a focused group of kids, even if a couple of them are newcomers.
"We just need to ignore the noise, ignore the talk, and focus on building our team chemistry with each other and focus on getting to the 14th game," Riffe said.

Smartphone growth to continue, growth rate slows, Windows Phone share moves up
IDC forecasts that global smartphone sales will reach 224.5 million units in the fourth quarter of this year. That represents 39.5% annual growth in that segment alone, driven by you the consumer. However, it is down a bit from expected growth of a little over 45% and unit sales will be short of the 717.5 million mark.
Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC pins that on the overall economy, "Sluggish economic conditions worldwide have cast a pall over the mobile phone market this year. However, the fourth quarter will be relatively bright due in part to sales of high-profile smartphones, such as the iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy S3, in addition to lower-cost Android-powered smartphones shipped to China and other high-growth emerging markets."
Smartphone operating systems will not see much movement at the top, but IDC predicts strong growth for Windows Phone 8, citing valuable experience learned by the carriers in offering an operating system whose user experience is an outlier in the smartphone segment. Android is forecast to be the leader in market share by a wide margin, with Samsung maintaining its position as lead manufacturer in that space. Expectations are that Android's market share will compress from 68% this year, to about 64% in 2016. IDC made a point of noting that LG and Sony would be seen as resurgent brands for the year.
iOS will distinctly be in the number two spot, and Apple's popularity will maintain steady growth. The price point of the iPhone, however will present a hindrance to Apple from making deep inroads to emerging markets. IDC floats the notion that Apple will need to consider a less expensive iPhone model to offer, or volume will always trail Android handsets.
BlackBerry and Windows Phone will be in the most competitive contest for third place. BlackBerry will hold on to third place in the near term, but growth will be relatively flat despite continued strength in Indonesia and South America. Windows Phone on the other hand, is expected to take third spot from RIM sometime next year, "with Nokia establishing its presence and HTC solidly jumping back into the race." Windows Phone will extend that lead further into 2016, possibly gaining as much market share as 11%. That growth will be aided by continued manufacturer buy-in, particularly from Samsung, ZTE and Huawei.
Linux was billed as a "dark horse" with K-Touch growing its volume and Haier introducing its first Linux powered smartphone. In addition, IDC will be looking to see what impact, if any, Samsung's Tizen and Jolla's SailFish will have on the market.

Such surveys don't hold any importance in the current pace of Market. It's predicting 4 years ahead and there the biggest mistake lies.
Market changes at huge pace. Just before two years who could have predicted that MS is going to release such a promising OS, when market had only those old gen windows phones?
I honestly think that the given changes don't stick to the timeline. Maybe this prediction come closer to truth in a nearby timeframe. But one thing must be kept in mind that, it is Running, not walking.

The real chance for WP is actually WP7 and not WP8. I can't see WP8 to win more market share as there are only 2-3 models with OG CPUs. There are die hard WP fans that will stick with the platform no matter what but not much beyond that. Normal people will buy Android or iPhone when they look for a top phone.
But with low end phones things are different. WP7 is smooth and people just don't care what OS is in the phone, they may not need lots of apps either and Nokia brand is still strong in new markets like Africa or Asia.
I read that Nokia has plan to release new cheap WP7 devices for new markets and that is very smart move.
15. tashreef (Posts: 475; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
yes i totally agree...
Windows Phone 8 share will grow more then what they are predicting....
Android will lose Market shares strongly...
2. mas11 (Posts: 1012; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Eh I think the iPhone is at its peak, in 4 years it will be just as popular as the Mac. If Microsoft plays its cards right they could take over 30% of the market.
3. MixMaster (Posts: 18; Member since: 09 Nov 2012)
I don't think Windows will gain so much market share. And iOS..i'm not quite sure if it will gain 1%. I'm an Android fan and user but let's face it. Apple's growth depends on just one event in these next 4 years. If they release a good iPhone they will gain more than 1% because they have a well established fan base and there are still many neutral customers which chose Android just because it was a cheap phone that was more than enough for them (I do not consider them Android fans, i think if something really nice is released by Apple, Nokia, Rim they will migrate). But if they will keep making these incremental updates I think they will loose market shares. And Android will gain more and more traction, of course slower than before, but i think this will happen because starting next year we will already see entry or feature phones with 4.2 on them. And 4.2 is a really powerfull piece of software to have on a 50-100-150-200 dollars unlocked phone. Like people were saying before that they do not need a smartphone because they just make calls and send texts, now they will say why spend 700-800 bucks on an iphone when a cheap Sony for example offers me Android 4.2 which basicaly offers you more than iOS 6 in my opinion.
5. Piyush91 (Posts: 9; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
but phones don't ship with android 4.2....android 4.1 has been released for quite some time(let alone 4.2), but 50% phones are still stuck on Gingerbread...
Thanks to manufacturers...
7. MixMaster (Posts: 18; Member since: 09 Nov 2012)
I am aware of this. That's why I said that only starting next year we will see these 4.2 entry level phones. Maybe Q3 or Q4. And these GB phones will slowly disappear because thay will be replaced, not updated.
9. Piyush91 (Posts: 9; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
but by that time android 5.0 would have released...and we will again be 2 or 3 generations behind...but i get your point...hope it happens....
12. MeoCao (unregistered)
Most of Gingerbread phones are in new markets where customer support are very poor and people there don't expect their phones to be upgraded. The only way for GB percentage to drop is people throw the phones and buy new ones.

IDC is a liar. A paid company by microsoft.
First time microsoft pay IDC when they launch the WP7 to create a hype but fail.
I'm surprised that IDC/microsoft think can fool us twice.
17. tashreef (Posts: 475; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
i agree they are liar ..
because the WP will acquire more than the prediction...
21. IDC.junk (Posts: 3; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
I really think that Microsoft should use the money to see why no one want their modern UI (WP7/WP8/W8) instead of giving it to IDC to create bogus analysis.
Because from where I stand Microsoft is like a kid who yell "HELP, THERE'S A WOLF". The first time microsoft pay IDC, some were fooled (2% WP user)... I don't think they will be fooled again for the second time after experiencing how awful the WP phone were.
Here is some good read on why WP7 fail:

that wpcentral article was in august, these nokia or htc phones werent even out yet let alone wp8. you can scrap that article. the "wp8 will fail" article obviously debunked its own self with how well phones with wp8 are selling. microsoft has ALWAYS kept their numbers tight liped. yet they are still around making profit. you can scrap that article.
if nokia and htc keep making phones that ppl like and MS brings out updates for their OS (one is coming very soon), then any educated person can see that their stock and sales will keep going up. and thats not even including any other manufacturer that might want to jump in the game. i think the 11% market share in the future is a safe % that they threw out there. but honestly i could see it being more like 15%. alot depends on how well the lumia 920T does in china.

Which part of the 5 simple word you don't understand???
Microsoft even fake the people who line up
see this: theatlanticwire.com/technology/2012/10/microsoft-fakes-excitement-its-surface-tablet-launch/58417/
Don't think Nokia 920T could reach 15%. It would be go down to toilet too.

These predictions are usually very inacurate. However I believe that iOS will gain gust a little more, Android will fall dramatically to about 40-50% and WP will gain at least 30-40% if not even more. Only BB is a big unknown.

I agree. I know a lot of people who are getting tired of android and are looking at windows phone and (unfortunately) the iphone.

Well, there was Nokia and Symbian number 1 in 2009 with almost 50% of market share, and look at them today. So, it can happen to iOS too. Or WP8 could receive an update and become even better than Android. In that case, WP can hold 50% of market share in 2016?! Also, there is not well known Jolla with ex-MeeGoo but brand new OS that could become hit on the market like Android was in 2010.
So, these predictions for 4-5 years are non sense in mobile market...

Though I purchased my Galaxy Note 2 already, I can easily see Windows Phone gaining some serious market share after spending some time with the Nokia 920. That is one solid device.

As for me let us just wait and see what will happen next. IDC said two names of OS the Tizen and Sailfish they said that they will have a hard time competing with the other OS yes its true but with great strategy and having a good relationship to carriers those two will succeed. Just like Bada it is not a well known OS but it was well perceive by the people. And for Jolla i hope them the best and I think that a true spirit of Nokia lives in them the Gentle Giant Nokia of the past

This doesn't prove anything. When Android came out everyone thought that it won't even surpass iOS, and that Symbian will still be the most popular os...

Who is going hold IDC accountable in 2016 for these predictions?
Love to see both BB10 and WP 8 huge successes. Android and iOS are in no way threatened by them, but 4 OS options would be great. If developers are willing to bet on RIM and MS, then they will all be fine and profitable.
Be interesting to see if any other OS even has a chance to make it out of the gates. I count 4 more in Jolla, Mozella, the Tizen product, and HP pushing open sourced WebOS. Seems unlikely to think more then 4 can get enough traction to survive, don't it?

Don't you feel strange....
When there's only android and iOS to support.
Some developer ignore android because android not as big/important as apple.
but when WP7 & BB10 is WWAAAAYYYYYY smaller than android/iOS, developer love them...
It's ALL LIE!!!!!!!
It's all Microsoft FUD that were spread with astroturfer
such as:
* using Oprah Winfrey to said nice things about surface (the misscheff manage by Oprah Winfray to use ipad and got caught)
* using IDC to create fake forcast to make WP8 looks cool

Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
Mr Puzzle's Puzzle - those puzzles we manufacture ourselves
- are sorted into three categories. We also offer a Craftsman Range and some Limited Edition puzzles. Puzzles for the truly discerning collector. LIMITED EDITION Even though they are works of art in their own right they are
definitely working puzzles. An additional puzzle element is often
added which makes the puzzle unique and usually increases the
level of difficulty. They are made to a larger scale than usual
so you can display your pieces of puzzle art. We use Australasian
timbers - often very rare species. Mr Puzzle began making only six of each puzzle in 1993 but
these days more are made. No additional puzzles from previous
limited editions have ever or will ever be made. There are not
even any formal drawings of these puzzles available. Mr Puzzle
always keeps one of them for himself. There has on rare occasions
been a Designer's Copy of the puzzle made as well. The puzzles are individually numbered and signed by Brian and
come complete with a certificate of authenticity. Although we provide professionally printed solutions with all
other puzzles we do not usually do so for Limited Edition items.
However, we are always willing to provide whatever assistance
you require to solve your puzzle - anything from handy hints to
hand drawings and sometimes photos are available upon request.
