More reviews by tawnyinthepink03
I actually have 3 of these (all in the color Honey): 1 - in my car, 1 - in my purse, and 1 - on my vanity. I find that as it wears down it drys out my lips a little which is why I do make sure that before I apply, my lips are moisturized. This is a more 'skin tone nude' my lips but better shade for me, as my lips are naturally pinkish red. It's a nice way to mute the color without having mannequin lips (which is just not a look I like).

I bought two of these products on sale in both 'honey' and 'adore' and i love both of them so much!
Honey is a mauvey, pink colour that is absolutely perfect for everyday wear. I thought adore was a deep red colour from its packaging but the colour was not quite as deep as i thought. It also has gold shimmers in it which i didn't really like as much (but its fine if you only apply one or two layers of the stain/balm). So I find myself reaching for honey more than adore.
The product itself is actually quite moisturising (not 100% like a lip balm, but pretty good) and it glides smoothly onto the lips. It really stays on for the whole day without having to reapply as it does actually stain the lips, which is great for lazy people like me.
Overall, i think this product may be the best lip product i have ever tried as it really does do everything it claims to. I would definitely repurchase it again!
Absolutely LOVE this product! Makes my lips so soft, and the stain really lasts for hours! I need to get every shade - I currently have the Honey one and I am addicted. I use it almost every day, as it is simple to apply and goes with almost anything. The packaging could be better, but I honestly don't mind. I always find Revlon's pricing really reasonable for the quality of their products.
I have seven shades of this range because I love it so much. My HG lip product, no doubt. They stay on and on and not drying.
The honey shade is the first, I repeat, the first lip product I have ever finished. This is the perfect pink for my skin (Asian, yellow undertone, NC25-30), and I never liked pinks on me until this heaven-sent lip stain.
On me it looks slightly mauve (I have quite pigmented lips) with very subtle brown, but still mostly pink. Really pretty. MLBB for most people but not on me though (still, it's a natural pink). Not that it's a bad thing, on the contrary, I really really like it! Very versatile for most makeup looks and the staying power is OUTSTANDING. I usually do my makeup at 6 AM and at 8 PM the color is still there. Faded, yes, but it leaves a really pretty stain underneath.
- Versatile color, very natural pink
- Not drying though not overly hydrating
- The glossy effect is adequate (I don't like glosses on my lips, sticky and makes my full lips look so much bigger)
- Crazy staying power
- Minty smell which I find quite pleasant (and for you guys who don't like scented makeup products, no worries, it disappears in less than a minute)
- Wish Revlon had more colors!
- The silver print of the product name on the packaging needs to be improved. Faded prints on makeup packagings don't look very appealing, you know, even more when you're out and want to reapply in front of strangers.
This is just perfect. Great formula, great price, great staying power. I'd go on a killing spree if Revlon ever discontinued this product.

I LOVE this balm stain! Out of all of the ones I own, this one is by far my favorite. It's a lovely neutral shade, that adds a bit of colour, warmth, and shine to my lips. When I wear this I get people telling me my lips look so healthy! For such a light/nude/MLBB shade it leaves such a lovely stain! It lastes four hours on me, with an extra hour with the stain. It doesn't make my lips feel dry and tight. It feels like a light balm on the lips. It does have a strong peppermint scent, but it will go away after a few minutes if you dislike it. I personally love it! I'v worn it down to about half way!
I recently purchased the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm in honey and I am really enjoying it. It goes on very sheer but has a great texture. The colour is a "my lip colour but better" type of colour, so it is great for everyday use. It is quite moisturizing however, I still put a lip balm underneath because of my very dry lips at this time. I think these are great dupes for the Clinique chubby sticks. I have a few but they are slightly pricey at about $20 I believe. So, I can buy two of the Revlon ones for the price of one Clinique chubby. I will be purchasing these in more colours very soon and would definatley repurchase!!
Love, love, looove this product! From its cute "crayon" packaging to how build-able and lively the colour is, I will definitely be repurchasing this product once I run out. For $11, it isn't exactly dirt cheap, but is reasonably priced for how smooth the product applies onto your lips. Plus, it's true to its name "Balm Stain" since the honey colour of this product stains onto your lips usually after second use.
The one thing I'm not quite sure about, is why Revlon named this colour "Honey", since it's more of a deep mauve. Nevertheless, I can envision anybody to wear this colour since it totally fits an effortless look. (But to go a bit bolder, you can keep on building the colour to make it bright).

Don't get the raves. I thought this would suit me but it does not particularly. Darker than the container suggests and drags on the lips so does not feel like a balm. I like these chunky lip pencils as a concept and have several from other brands, but I would not get this brand again. This cost 7.99 pounds in Boots. If you are UK based I would recommend the chunky pencil lip glosses from the Autograph range at Marks and Spencers, particularly the nude shade. They cost two pounds more but compared to the Revlon it is the difference between a glass of cava and a glass of champagne.

The color - Aaaaaaaa (in a BAD way). Went on a LITTLE more bright pink than I was expecting but not too bad. Color was also more opaque than I expected. Color CHANGES though. I guess the stain is different than the balmy glossy part. The color then was bright Barbie pink. Ladies if you are over 30, do not buy. Not flattering.
Texture - very balmy and pleasant. Not too heavy. The initial balm that goes on is very much like lipstick. It will transfer to cup until it dries/wears off. Once this top layer wears off, lips are still stained with color.
Length of wear - does stay on. Even after eating but COLOR CHANGE is deal breaker for me.

This apartment was a great find! Ideally located on the island, it is comfortable, clean and great value. The cafes and a beautiful open air cinema less than 5 minutes walking. The host is friendly, always available for communication and advice. Thank You Jen!
Stayed in Parikia for one night and thought it was a lovely town. There are very few street signs in Parikia so we had arranged to meet Jen to bring us to the apartment. The apartment was fine. The shower was a little small if your over 6 foot. Overall good experience.
The place is very nice and comfortable, quiet to have a good sleep, is also in a great location to be able to move around Athens, and not only in the Acropolis sorroundings, I will definitely recommend this place. Jen is very friendly so you can be sure you will have a nice moment there
jen is a beautyfull person , very funny , the appartament is good and is to close to the main things in paros
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The place of Jen is excellent for a visit in Athens.Nice,warm and clean rooms very friendly environment.Small distance from the centre makes it a perfect base for your visit.

Akio Morita (盛田 昭夫 Morita Akio; 26 January 1921 – 3 October 1999) was a Japanese businessman and co-founder of Sony along with Masaru Ibuka.
Akio Morita was born in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. Morita's family was involved in sake, miso and soy sauce production in the village of Kosugaya (currently a part of Tokoname City) on the western coast of Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture since 1665. He was the oldest of four siblings and his father Kyuzaemon trained him as a child to take over the family business. Akio, however, found his true calling in mathematics and physics, and in 1944 he graduated from Osaka Imperial University with a degree in physics. He was later commissioned as a sub-lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Navy, and served in World War II. During his service, Morita met his future business partner Masaru Ibuka in the Navy's Wartime Research Committee.
On May 7, 1946, Morita and Ibuka founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation, the forerunner of Sony Corporation) with about 20 employees and initial capital of ¥190,000. Ibuka was 38 years old, Morita, 25. Morita's family invested in Sony during the early period and was the largest shareholder.
In 1949, the company developed magnetic recording tape and in 1950, sold the first tape recorder in Japan. In 1957, it produced a pocket-sized radio (the first to be fully transistorized), and in 1958, Morita and Ibuka decided to rename their company Sony (derived from "sonus"--Latin for "sound"—and Sonny-boys the most common American expression).[2] Morita was an advocate for all the products made by Sony. However, since the radio was slightly too big to fit in a shirt pocket, Morita made his employees wear shirts with slightly larger pockets to give the radio a "pocket sized" appearance. In 1960, it produced the first transistor television in the world. In 1973, Sony received an Emmy Award for its Trinitron television-set technology. In 1975, it released the first Betamax home video recorder, a year before VHS format came out. In 1979, the Walkman was introduced, making it the world's first portable music player. In 1984, Sony launched the Discman series which extended their Walkman brand to portable CD products.
In 1960, the Sony Corporation of America (SONAM, currently abbreviated as SCA) was established in the United States. In 1961, Sony Corporation was the first Japanese company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the form of American depositary receipts (ADRs), which are traded over-the-counter. Sony bought CBS Records Group[3] which consisted of Columbia Records, Epic Records and other CBS labels in 1988 and Columbia Pictures Entertainment (Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures and others) in 1989.
On November 25, 1994, Morita stepped down as Sony chairman after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage while playing tennis. He was succeeded by Norio Ohga, who had joined the company in the 1950s after sending Morita a letter denouncing the poor quality of the company's tape recorders.
Morita was vice chairman of the Japan Business Federation (Japan Federation of Economic Organizations), and was a member of the Japan-U.S. Economic Relations Group, also known as the "Wise Men's Group". He was also the third Japanese chairman of the Trilateral Commission.
In 1966, Morita wrote a book called Gakureki Muyō Ron (学歴無用論, Never Mind School Records), where he stresses that school records are not important to success or one's business skills. In 1986, Morita wrote an autobiography titled Made in Japan. He co-authored the 1991 book The Japan That Can Say No with politician Shintaro Ishihara, where they criticized American business practices and encouraged Japanese to take a more independent role in business and foreign affairs. The book was translated into English and caused controversy in the United States, and Morita later had his chapters removed from the English version and distanced himself from the book.[4]
Morita was awarded the Albert Medal by the United Kingdom's Royal Society of Arts in 1982, the first Japanese to receive the honor. Two years later, he received the prestigious Legion of Honour, and in 1991, was awarded the First Class Order of the Sacred Treasure from the Emperor of Japan. In 1993, he was awarded an honorary British knighthood (KBE). Morita received the International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award from the University of Manitoba in 1987. He was posthumously awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun in 1999.
Morita suffered a stroke in 1993, during a game of tennis. On November 25, 1994, he stepped down as Sony chairman. On October 3, 1999, Morita died of pneumonia at the age of 78.

The staff was super helpful in terms of figuring out buses to Machu Picchu and the packed lunch. Breakfast was a little lacking, but I wonder if that was because we came at the later end of things. Hot showers were awesome!

Funky wall art and cool staff greet you right away. This was a great and cheap hostel. I would recommend it to anyone. I arrived late and woke up early but the staff were friendly and laid back, and the atmosphere was good. If I'm back in aguas calientes this is where I'll go.

From Kiwitahi to Cardiff, it's been a huge week for Piako athlete Kristie Baillie.
The 22-year-old gained the final spot in the women's 4x400m relay in the New Zealand team for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games at the 11th hour.
She had earlier been named a non-travelling reserve for the relay team, but last Friday was confirmed by the New Zealand Olympic Committee selectors.
A former Morrinsville College student, coached by Kelly Diprose from Te Aroha Athletic Club, Baillie was a member of the quartet which qualified the team in April for Glasgow.
In announcing Baillie's inclusion, the selectors noted that Monique Dell, who had been pending selection for the relay team subject to form and fitness, had been unable to meet the standard by the deadline of June 30.
Baillie ran a season best time for the 400m at a recent event on the Gold Coast in Australia.
The full team went to Australia as their part of the Games buildup.
"It's been a bit of a whirlwind," Baillie said on Friday after receiving a call from the selectors the previous evening.
"It's all go."
The "hugely excited" Waikato University student trained at Porritt Stadium last Saturday as usual before packing her bags and heading to Cardiff tomorrow.
Her relay team will have two warmup events in the United Kingdom before the Commonwealth Games start in Scotland on July 23.
Baillie was recently named as one of four high-achieving Waikato University students going to Nepal next February as recipients of Step Higher Awards.
The students are all Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars - students who excel academically as well as in sport or in the creative or performing arts and who show strength in leadership.
Baillie, who still lives on the family farm at Kiwitahi near Morrinsville, is in her last year of study for a Bachelor of Social Sciences honours degree.
In 2010 she qualified for the IAAF World Junior Track Field Championships in Canada after winning the national under-19 women's 400m title.
A former head girl at Morrinsville College, Baillie was named Matamata-Piako Junior Sportsperson of the Year in 2011.

"When you get into a pack of cars, then you feel the problem worst, handicapping the driver and handicapping our ability to race. When there's a crosswind, the cars suffer badly as well, which makes them even more difficult to control. They are always fun to drive, but motor racing should be about the best drivers racing the best cars, which offers the best challenge, and my feeling now is that we have come to a bit of a cul-de-sac."

Texting and iphone show off
by Hawk
posted Sep 29 2009 3:34PM
I was in a meeting the other day and one of my co-workers (Tom) was on his iphone the whole time. The guy leading the meeting drove from North Carolina to talk with us about our show. I was embrassed because what would he think about Tom on his iphone. I brought it up on the show and told Tom it was just like breaking out a book and reading it while someone was trying to have a conversation. So as we where talking I started reading a book. Tom said it wasn't the same. I feel that we have lost the importance of conversation when we whip out our phones and start texting when someone is trying to have a conversation with us. Its ok to look and see who it is and then say excuse me but I need to text this person back .......but most people just take the conversation for granted. And why is it when one person looks at their phone everyone in the room checks theirs. It is like when someone yawns you sub-consciously yawn....same thing with a phone. Lastly let me call Tom out about being an iphone show off. Anytime anyone mentions a song Tom brings out the iphone and plays the song for you or if someone says I had a hotdog for lunch Tom will look up the ingredients or maybe where the hotdog originated. I really don't need to know all those facts. I do appreciate the effort but Tom please keep it to yourself. Sorry I complained today I'll try and be more positive next time I blog. thanks for reading Hawk

How 2 Chainz Turned 2012 Into An All-Gold-Everything Affair
It's an understatement to say that 2 Chainz had a breakout year in 2012. His debut album Based On A T.R.U. Story has been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rap Album. But he's also made an impact with his fashion sense and musical ubiquity.
In 2012, the in-demand rapper linked with a wide range of artists from Nicki Minaj to Kreaysawn to Justin Bieber. B.O.A.T.S., which was released on August 14, 2012, was certified Gold (500,000 copies) by the RIAA, but it was not the only glitter surrounding 2 Chainz.
Outside of music, he outdid his name by sporting more than two chains and other eye-catching jewelry. For the artist formerly known as Titi Boi, style figured heavily into his plan.
"It's about me doing next and doing something I'm comfortable with," he told CBS Local. "My whole thing for my album was black and gold. I wore black and gold for the majority of the Drake's [Club Paradise] tour."
In March, it was announced that Chainz would be joining Drake on his Club Paradise tour. In 2013 2 Chainz will be hitting Europe with Lil Wayne and Mac Miller. Surely, he'll continue to push the style envelope.
"I bring something different to the game. These pieces are vintage pieces," he explained of his jewelry. "I haven't rocked too many diamonds as of late. The price of gold has definitely risen. That's just my angle on the game. This is vintage Chanel; this is vintage Versace. They are unique museum pieces, they are runway pieces. One of one type flavor just like myself. One of one."

MISSOULA, Mont. — Some university district residents have complained about UDASH buses driving down their streets because of late-night noise and requested a route change, but students argue that could weaken access for disabled students, montanakaimin.com reported. The Associated Students of the University of Montana has promised, in response to the residents' complaints, to only run new, less noisy buses at night. The Office of Transportation equipped two buses with new mufflers, one of which cost $3,000, to quiet the buses. For the full story, click here.
A UConn spokesperson defended the use of student drivers, saying they undergo at least 30 hours of training and must get a commercial driver's license.
Bryan Smith formerly worked at the Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority in Kent, Ohio. The agency is the public transportation provider for Portage County and Kent State University.
Vincent Orlando Davis, who had worked as a driver for Duke University Transit for about the past two years, was killed Dec. 22 in a crash near Duke's campus, when an 18-year-old man hit a Duke passenger van that Davis was driving.
The students will present their idea for the future of Sydney, Australia to a panel of judges in hopes of taking home a $3,000 first-place prize and the opportunity to intern at Walt Disney Imagineering – the creative design team behind those world-famous theme parks and attractions.
The program is funded by the Sonoma County general fund and will assist the Supervisors and Sonoma County Transit in determining the affect a free fare program has on ridership, traffic reduction near college campuses and community response to the program.

Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' gets greenlight and release date
After several delays due to its studio's financial dilemmas, an announcement was made by New Line, Warner Bros., and MGM that the much-anticipated
The Hobbit was greenlit and begins production in February 2011.
Currently there is a labor dispute between the producers and unions in New Zealand, including the acting guilds. The result may affect where the film will be shot, so five different locales are under consideration. Discussions are being facilitated by the government.
It was announced that Peter Jackson would direct since co-writer Guillermo del Toro quit the job, due to the delays. The story would be told in parts and in 3D.
Casting so far includes Andy Serkis ( The Lord of the Rings) returning to play the role of Gollum, and Sir Ian McKellen, who will wear Gandalf's robes again for his role as the wizard.
Martin Freeman ( The Office - UK version) is also seeking to win the coveted lead role of Bilbo Baggins.
Best known as "Doctor Who," Sylvester McCoy will look to play a wizard in The Hobbit. Speculation has McCoy possibly playing Radagast the Brown.
Other roles will be released upon casting and other news is available on the fansite

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

I thinks it's safe to say that Larry Sanders doesn't like referees, or at least the ones who've officiated the last two out of three Milwaukee Bucks games.
A few days ago we reported that the Bucks center was ejected in hilarious fashion after persistently arguing a foul call during a game Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Sanders, then followed that performance by getting ejected two nights later against the Miami Heat, and in story via the folks at Pro Basketball Talk, the league has given him a hefty fine for using disrespectful language towards the referees.
Larry Sanders of the Milwaukee Bucks has been fined $50,000 for "using a derogatory and offensive term and publicly criticizing the officials," the league announced on Sunday via official release.
The incident occurred with 2:44 remaining the Bucks' home loss to the Heat on Friday, when Sanders directed the language to the referees and was immediately ejected. Sanders further criticized the officiating during his postgame remarks.
It's worth noting that whatever Sanders said, it must have been viewed as especially egregious by the league office, considering the amount of the fine. Usually, the standard dollar figure is $35,000 for something like this, and most recently, Serge Ibaka of the Thunder was fined just $25,000 for his hit to the groin on Blake Griffin.
I understand frustration with NBA officials being a Toronto Raptors fan, they've been especially bad this season it seems but Sanders has to understand that he won't win this battle, more powerful men like Mark Cuban have tried and failed repeatedly. All you end up doing is coughing up money for David Stern and his minions petty cash jar.

Prof. John Baras
Professor John Baras (ECE/ISR) and his former student, Paul Yu, have received the Jimmy Lin Award for Innovation and Invention. They are the first recipients of the award. The two researchers were awarded the prize for their invention, "Wireless Communication Method and System for Transmission Authentication at the Physical Layer."
The award will be presented during ECE Research Review Day at the Faculty Venture Fair to be held at 2 p.m. on October 9, 2009, in the lecture hall of the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building.
In 2008, Professor Emeritus Hung C. "Jimmy" Lin made a generous gift to create the Lin Fund in order to promote innovation among ECE faculty, staff, and students by stimulating, encouraging and rewarding the invention and patenting process. Professor Lin was an accomplished inventor and teacher who passed away earlier this year. His most well-known contribution was the invention of the lateral transistor, which is used in most linear integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits. The Lin award represents a lasting reminder of Lin's energy, spirit and creativity, and commitment to innovation.
"As engineers it is our duty to make sure that our inventions result in better lives for people," said ECE Chair Pat O'Shea. "Professor Lin's gift will continue to reward the process of launching our inventions beyond the walls of the University, so that they can do good things for society."
Prof. Baras will also be a presenter at the Faculty Venture Fair. More information is available at the ECE Research Review Day website.

The product pictured is not the product you will receive in the mail. They only have the "new" formula (Black cap, Flexible Control, with picture of bamboo on label) with the Bamboo gummy junk in it. I was so thrilled to find a product I could not buy in stores anymore only to end up with seven cans of this glue. By the time I pay to ship it back I may as well give it away. Customer Service is off in some distant land so forget meaningful communication.
Caution! If you are looking specifically for the five star "Super Hold" Tresemme hair spray, this is NOT it. They will send you the four star, green label, spray that is just not the same excellent product as the "Super Hold" spray.
I, just purchased SG shaping spray along with it came a SG mouse I, used first time this morning it is absolutley the best hair spray and mouse I,have ever used. I, have been using tresemme, now I, realized how dry tresemme was making my fine hair. finer haired ladies try salon grafix you will not want to go back I,guarantee!!

I don't really understand but a VGA cable does not carry sound.
Your thread title says "connect laptop to pc" but do you mean "laptop to tv"?

The Confidence electric fitness treadmill arrived the day after placing the online purchase. The product is excellent and is tremendous value for money.Three days after purchase the on/off switch failed. It took ONE phone call to have a replacement despatched and the faulty treadmill collected from us on delivery of that replacement.
I cannot recommend the product and the srevice highly enough.

Washington, D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." is an abbreviation for the District of Columbia, the federal district coextensive with the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States. Columbia in this context is an early poetic name for the United States of America.
The city is commonly referred to as D.C., the District, or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City. To avoid confusion with the state of Washington, located in the Pacific Northwest, the city is often called simply D.C.. To locals, the entire metropolitan area, including suburbs, is "D.C."

Wednesday, March 12, 2014 More items for Program/Project Management
A Washington State contractor will spend $550,000 to make good on wages allegedly shorted from hundreds of workers over several years.
Summit Drywall Inc., of Issaquah, and owner Thomas Kauzlarich violated federal overtime and record-keeping provisions involving 384 workers from Oct. 15, 2009, to April 15, 2013, the U.S. Department of Labor announced.
Summit Drywall and Kauzlarich will pay $275,000 in back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages, according to authorities.
A consent judgment announced Feb. 20 resolves the violations found on an investigation launched last summer. Some workers will receive up to $4,000 in back wages and damages.
Employer: Not Intentional
In a statement, Kauzlarich said the company never "intentionally violated any employment laws."
"It is easy for a small business like ours to make mistakes and have not enough detailed records to satisfy a government auditor," he said. "The wage and hour laws are very complex."
The company, which started in 1997, said it has made changes to its timekeeping system based on the Labor Department's requests and went beyond in some regards.
"We are committed, as we have been, to complying with all legal requirements and treating all of our employees fairly," Kauzlarich added.
'Long Hours and Low Wages'
Janet Herold, DOL's regional solicitor in San Francisco, called the settlement a victory.
"In this region, long hours and low wages are prevalent in the drywall industry," Herold said.
"This consent decree sends the unambiguous message that the department will not permit the underpayment of workers' wages in piece-rate schemes, such as those at issue here."
Investigation Details
Investigators in the Seattle District Office of DOL's Wage and Hour Division found that Summit Drywall had failed to pay 384 current and former employees overtime at time and one-half their regular rates for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act, officials said.
Investigators also found that employees working as drywall hangers and tapers were paid on a piece-rate basis and were not compensated for all hours worked, including time spent traveling and transporting equipment to the job site. This resulted in additional violations of the law.
Long hours and low wages are prevalent in the drywall industry, says Janet Herold, regional solicitor for the Wage and Hour Division's Western Region.
Last, the employer failed to keep accurate and complete records of hours worked, as required, officials said.
Penalties and Requirements
The judgment requires Summit Drywall and Kauzlarich to pay $275,000 in back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages, according to authorities. Individual payouts will range from $150 to $4,000 per worker, officials said.
The consent judgment also requires several actions on the part of the employer.
If Summit Drywall chooses to use a piece-rate compensation system, the employer must calculate the piece earnings on an individual basis. Pay systems of this nature are based on a worker's productivity.
Summit must also keep accurate records of hours worked and must document for employees their hours worked with each paycheck and the regular rate on which their weekly wage is calculated.
The employer must also provide training to all employees on the wage law's requirements.
Raising Awareness
Summit Drywall has also agreed to help promote awareness in the drywall industry of employers' obligations under federal wage laws.
The company will writean article to appear in an industry publication that addresses drywall employers' obligations and code of conduct, the department said.
About the FLSA
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that covered, nonexempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, as well as time-and-one-half for every hour over 40 they work in one week.
Employers must maintain accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment; and employers may not retaliate against employees who exercise their rights under the law.
Employers who violate the law are generally liable for back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages, which are paid directly to the affected employees.

Kraus-Anderson has good summer, awaits construction rebound
- Sam Black
- Staff writer
General contractor Kraus-Anderson Construction Co. has landed more business in the past two-and-a-half months than during any stretch in the past two-and-a-half years.
It's too soon to predict an incline in sales for the year, but a string of recent project wins, both in and out of the metro area, provide the company with hope that the deep construction slump is turning around, said Alan Gerhardt, chief operating officer of Minneapolis-based Kraus-Anderson.
A few notable projects the company has won since May are:
• A 100,000-square-foot corporate headquarters in Medina for software firm Open Systems International Inc.,
• Gundersen Lutheran Hospital, a 400,000-square-foot hospital in LaCrosse, Wis.,
• A five-story field office for the Minneapolis division of the FBI in Brooklyn Center,
• A 125,000-square-foot academic building in St. Peter for Gustavus Adolphus College,
• A 177,000-square-foot SuperTarget in Woodbury for JMW Development.
All of the work booked since the start of summer totals more than $372 million — nearly 80 percent of the company's revenue posted for all of 2009.
Kraus-Anderson had $473 million in revenue last year, down from $754 million in 2008 and from the company's all-time high of $823 million in 2007.
The recent project wins are positive momentum, but the trough for building-construction activity is so deep that it's going to take longer to dig the industry out than a few good months, Gerhardt said.
Even with the new work, Kraus-Anderson has budgeted 2010 revenue flat with 2009.
"We don't anticipate any significant recovery until probably the middle of 2011," Gerhardt said. "It might be 2012 or 2013 before we get back to 2007 numbers."
Kraus-Anderson is focusing a lot of its business development efforts on education, health care, government and senior housing.
It has had to make some cuts in the past year as it adjusted to the recession. The company closed two of its four metro-area field offices — South Minneapolis and St. Paul — keeping open posts near downtown Minneapolis and in Circle Pines.
For Kraus-Anderson to grow its revenue in 2011, it will probably have to do better than the overall market, said Mark Reiling, principal at Minneapolis-based Cassidy Turley.
Reiling, who hired Kraus-Anderson for a residential development in the past, said the company is doing well now because it has a strong balance sheet and diverse project experience.
"They do great work and have a good reputation," Reiling said.

You know things are bad for QB Tim Tebow when his brother is garnering more NFL headlines than him. Peter Tebow couldn't help but go on a gloating rant on Twitter follwing the Denver Broncos double-OT loss to the Ravens, saying, among other things, "Am I the only one in Denver who's happy right now?" Peter apologized Monday. My comment after the game was uncalled for. I may root for another team but I should never gloat about anyone's misfortune.
