Unless they are involved in the retirement plan industry a plan sponsor must delegate much of their duties to retirement plan providers that may include third party administrators (TPAs), financial advisors, and ERISA attorneys. Despite the fact that retirement plan sponsors delegate much of their role, they are still ultimately responsible for what happens to the plan in their role as plan fiduciaries. This is why it is important that retirement plan sponsors know basic concepts about retirement plans, so they can understand their role and their liability. This article is about 10 things that plan sponsor must know in order to understand their duties and the risk involved if they are derelict in their duties.

What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Right now I'm going to school for plumbing my ultimate goals get my contractors license and start my own business other than that I'm either working or hang out with my friends or family
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
The first thing people usually notice about me are my piercings I ether get complimented on they or get asked about them. I got four in each ear. Six of the ones in my ears are stretched. A set of snake bites and a tongue piercing. So all in total I have a eleven piercings. Another thing they notice about me is my size. People are usually afraid of me until I say hi to them and I say hi and smile too pretty much everyone I'm basically just a big teddy bear. But I do have my off days sometimes.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Let's see some of my favorite books would be World War Z, Goth, SunDome, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, and Yakuza Moon. That's not all of them mind you I just don't feel listing every title.Some of my favorite movies would be Dune, Boondock Saints, Inglorious Bastards, and any horror movies. God i love horror movies. I listen to a lot of different music it all depends on how I feel at the time. My favorite television shows are Eureka, Dr. Who Stargate series, The Big Bang Theory, Law and Order series, and a lot of discovery channel shows that involve survival. Also watch some cartoons and anime.As for food I'll try anything at least once but I love Chinese food, Sushi and Mongolian barbecue and anything with cheese is just badass to me. But if it taste good I'll eat it.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
First my family who have supported and inspired me. Second my friends who has always have my back and give me place to lay my head when I have nowhere else ago. Third I need my music played loud or louder. Fourth my truck because I need to just cruise sometimes. I guess the other two would be food and drink. But I think that's a bit of a cop out. Fuck it I'll say it anyways food and drink.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
If time is money does that make a ATM a time machine. What kind of superpowers I'd like to have. My plans in case of a zombie invasion.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
It really depends on how hectic the week was if it was bad I might just play video games and then go to sleep. But most of time I'm hanging out with my friends at pub or bar or a party that one of them are holding finding something else fun to do either way it's going be a all nighter
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
for any reason i will try to answer all message note it might take some time

ADHD Adults
Management strategies for homeschooling/chores/computer time
I'm looking for a good time management style or system that will help me to manage our computer time vs. chore time. While myself and my kids are all either ADHD or lean towards that style of thinking, one of my kiddies is what they like to call "oppositionally defiant" and struggles with this daily. His struggle is probably in part due to my own difficulties in getting organized in a new home. I've scheduled an appointment with an ADHD counselor/coach but it's not until the end of August and schools starts at the beginning (although we could move it back if we had to.) Any help now in establishing an ADHD-friendly time management plan that we can follow for the rest of the semester would be HUGELY appreciated!!!

Windows has plenty of features that you can turn off to speed things up. Here's how to find the features you don't need.
Windows Features dialogue box
This handy box, semi-hidden in Vista and Windows 7, gives you on/off control over a multitude of features. You can control what games are available, turn on RIP Listener (which isn't nearly as macabre as it sounds), and turn off some resource-wasting services.
XP users can skip this section, entirely - this dialogue box was added with Vista.
To open the Windows Features dialogue box, click Start, type programs and features, and press Enter. Once the 'Uninstall or change a program' application comes up, click Turn Windows features on or off in the left pane.
Windows 7 users can take a quicker alternative route: Click Start, type windows features, and select Turn Windows features on or off.
One warning: This dialogue box takes a long time to load; and when you're done with it and click OK, it takes an even longer time to close. Then it usually reboots the PC. Consequently it's best to make all of these changes at one time.
Internet printing client: Vista, Windows 7
Do you ever print documents over the internet? If not, you're unlikely to miss Windows' internet printing client. To turn it off, first find and expand the Windows Features dialogue box's Print Services (or Print and Document Services) listing. Then uncheck Internet printing client.
Windows Meeting Space: Vista
If you're working on collaborative projects with other Vista users, Meeting Space is a handy program to have around. It lets you share files across a network while editing them with a remote colleague. A lot of people were disappointed with Microsoft dropped Meeting Space from Windows 7.
But, if you're not working on collaborative projects with other Vista users, Meeting Space is just a waste of resources. To disable it, simply uncheck Windows Meeting Space in the Windows Features dialogue box.
Tablet PC extras, part 1: Vista, Windows 7
In the long-ago days before the iPad, a tablet PC was a laptop with a touchscreen that could rotate 180 degrees and fold down over the keyboard. With those rather bulky and heavy tablets in mind, Windows offers some very good tools for touchscreen interfaces.
I'm actually writing this article on such a computer, and though I seldom fold it down into tablet mode, I wouldn't dream of turning off those enhancements. However, if your computer lacks a touchscreen, you have no reason to leave them on.
This is a two-step process that starts in the Windows Features dialogue box. Start by unchecking Tablet PC Optional Components (Vista) or Tablet PC Components (Windows 7).

10 Watt Hi-Power Dimmable PAR30 LED Spotlight Light Bulbs (45W Equivalent)
10 Watt Hi-Power PAR30 120 Volt LED Light Bulbs (45W Equivalent) for Spot & Track Lighting
Click to enlarge image
10 Watt Hi-Power Dimmable PAR30 LED Spotlight Light Bulbs (45W Equivalent)
This item is not currently available.
This 10 Watt, PAR30 spotlight light bulb offers a tremendous amount of power with incredibly low energy consumption. Not only is this light bulb comparable to a 45 Watt incandescent flood light, but it works with a dimmer switch. It's PAR30 size has a bulb width of 3-3/4 inches and it's E26/E27 socket size allows it to screw into any standard socket. The LED spot light has a 30 degree beam and thus is best for spot and accent lighting applications. There are two light colors available, soft white which emits a warmer light (closest to an incandescent), or daylight which emits a blue-ish cool white light. Life expectancy of this light bulb is a whopping 17 years with a usage of 8 hours per day.
- Compares to 45W light output (Warm White), 35W light output (Soft White)
- Output power: 10 Watts
- 5 onboard Hi Power LED diodes
- Beam angle: 30°
- Input voltage: 120V
- Size: 4"H x 3 3/4"D
- Dimmable
- Total Lumens: 425 Warm White, 375 Soft White. 40 lumens per watt
- Applications: Replaces PAR30 based lamps used for directed lighting (spot or flood lights), recessed lighting and other accent lighting applications
- Dimmable PAR30 bulb type: Parabolic Aluminized Reflector (PAR) bulbs control light more precisely
- E26/ E27 screw in medium base standard Edison base mostly common in light fixtures
- Each bulb is rated to have a 50,000+ lifespan which is equivalent to purchasing over 50 regular incandescent bulbs or 5 compact fluorescent bulbs
- 50,000 hours lit for 24 hours per day lasts over 5 1/2 years
- 50,000 hours lit for 12 hours per day will last over 11 years
- 50,000 hours lit for 8 hours per day will last over 17 years
- 50,000 hours lit for 4 hours per day will last over 34 years
- Retrofit lamps can replace conventional spotlights Ultimately saves on energy and maintenance cost
- Incorporated the latest technology to provide a safer and more efficient energy saving approach to LED lamps and fixtures
- Produces no UV or IR radiation
- All bulbs are available in two color temperatures for a constant pure, clear light (no more flickering, headaches and strained eyes from fluorescent bulbs
- SW Soft White (3000°K) emits a warmer (yellow/red) light
- WW Warm White (4500°) emits a cool white (bluish) light
- Each bulb produces a very low heat output
- LED bulbs light up instantly at full brightness, even in cold weather
- Complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive which requires the reduction of hazardous substances.
Product Usage
Why use LED retrofit technology?
- Meets environmental concerns since LEDs do not contain mercury, unlike fluorescent lamps
- LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs
- Requires less maintenance since it can last up to 20,000 – 50,000 hours
- Draws about 1/10th the power of conventional lighting which significantly reduces power consumption
- Produces little heat and no UV rays
- LED lamps are shock and vibration proof and durable making it difficult to damage as compared to fluorescent and incandescent bulbs
- LEDs are smaller and more compact, providing more light output per square inch than any other light source
- Constantly turning on and off fluorescent and CFL bulbs eventually causes them to burn out much sooner reducing their life span. However, LEDs can be turned off and on tens of thousands of times and yet will never decrease its life span
- Have an driveway, porch or hallway light that is on frequently
- Has track lighting that is set high up and would like a long-lasting bulb that doesn't need to be fixed often
- Would like a soft light that frequently lights up fixtures in your garden or yard
- Any area where a light is constantly on and does not want the costs of replacing light bulbs or consuming energy
- Would like to provide a safe environment for the family. LED lighting is a healthier alternative because they do not contain fragile filament or mercury compared to standard incandescent bulbs

I recently saw this advertisement for Revlon's Lash Jewels. At first glance, I thought the ad was for some exotic fake lashes but no, this product adds a little crystal-like jewel to your lashes.
Wouldn't this be fun for a night of clubbing or perfect for a Christmas event – like having mini icicles on your lashes.
How to use: Apply your favourite mascara and then twist the base of the Lash Jewel pen to dispense a small amount of liquid to the tip of your lash. Be careful not to apply too much. The solution will quickly solidify to create a multi-dimensional dazzling jewel-like bead.
Depending on your mood, there are four very fun colours: Precocious Pink, Smoldering Violet, Chrystal Gaze, Aqua Allure
I would love to know what you think about this product and what type of event you will or have worn it to.
Lash Jewel is part of the Revlon Limited Edition Collection so make sure you grab it before they are all gone.
9 Responses to "Jewellery For Your Lashes?"
Oooh I have never tried this but it looks really cool! Thanks for sharing this item.
I think these look real hot for photoshoots. I bet they are a pain to put on though
hi ellen
woow wat a nice look isn't it,thanks for giving information.But as KC said above, by applying that u will feel difficulty.. so wat u will suggest
I've tried this, and hated the results. It didn't solidify at all, it was dead hard getting the right amount out, and once I did it was still just a big old sloppy mess.
I'm curious how they feel to wear. Are they heavy enough to make you aware of them? I'd be worried that I'd unconciously swipe at them and make a mess… A neat idea though, but plain old fake lashes are more than enough for moi.
I tried this. It looked great for about 3 hours. Then the gel started to work it's way down my lashes, so I had giant clumps of lashes. Then it got on my lids and smeared my shadow- even with Primer Potion on! ick… I returned it the next day
I scored one of these in the clerance bin at Target for $3. I'm going to try it next week.
Dior had this exact same product 2 Christmas's ago. I loved it, because you could get a really little barely there jewel or a large one. They were easy to put on after the first few tries. Very fun!
This product is awful. It doesn't work. It is messy to apply, doesnt dry, takes a long time to put on and turns into a slimy mess. I hope another company makes a working version of this product because the concept is great. Don't waste your money on the Revlon version.

Marriage advice for chart enthusiasts
What makes for a stable marriage?
About a decade ago, the gossip on everyone's lips was that "1/2 of all marriages in the U.S. end in divorce." That factoid was later disproven, but it left a lasting impression on the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of America. In an effort to not become a part of that statistic, I started doing a little research on what makes for a stable marriage in America. [...] What struck me about this study is that it basically laid out what makes for a stable marriage in the U.S. I've highlighted 7 of the biggest factors below.The Atlantic points out:
Part of the study echoes what we already know about marriage: That it's increasingly for rich people—who make a lot and can afford honeymoons.[more inside]

Coronet Instructional Films

They also provided education on topics such as the connection between attitudes and health, what kind of people live in America, how to keep a job, supervising women workers, the nature of capitalism, and the plantation System in Southern life.

The American Fertility Crisis
Education, Income, and Fertility in America, and What They Mean for the Future of the Country "Since the average American woman has 2.1 children, you might think we aren't experiencing a national fertility crisis. Unlike some European countries whose futures are threatened by low birth rates, Americans, on average, produce just the right number of future workers, soldiers, and taxpayers to keep our society humming... Two new studies bring the contrasting reproductive profiles of rich and poor women into sharp relief. One, from the Guttmacher Institute, shows that the rates of unplanned pregnancies and births among poor women now dwarf the fertility rates of wealthier women, and finds that the gap between the two groups has widened significantly over the past five years.

Careers, Parents, and the 1%
Your parents have a huge influence on your future career. A single chart from the Journal of Labor Economics shows how much the top 1% benefit from their parent's success and networks (Results are from Canada, but the same is observed elsewhere). Nepotism is a very common phenomenon, and explains part of why income mobility between generations can be such a problem. Beyond the importance of parental networks and money, however, there is evidence that our genes influence our career choices, including whether you become an entrepreneur.
The bottom of the pyramid
U.S. Poverty Rate, 1 in 6, at Highest Level in Years (NYT) - An additional 2.6 million people slipped below the poverty line in 2010, census officials said, making 46.2 million people in poverty in the United States, the highest number in the 52 years the Census Bureau has been tracking it, said Trudi Renwick, chief of the Poverty Statistic Branch. That represented 15.1 percent of the country. The poverty line in 2010 was at $22,113 for a family of four. (related)

Why value the donations of rich people more than those of the poor?
How Private Is 'Private Charity'? Private charity may be more accurately described as "private donations coupled with involuntary, tax-financed public subsidies." And it's not fair: "very low-income people paying only payroll taxes get hardly any leverage for their donations. Very high-income people in states with high income-tax rates – such as New Jersey and New York – can through the tax code virtually double the money funneled to a charity per dollar of their own sacrifice."

Why is income inequality growing?
Over at Slate magazine, Timothy Noah is doing a multi-part examination of America's growing income gap. The Great Divergence.
75,000 is the magic number
"We infer that beyond about $75,000/y, there is no improvement whatever in any of the three measures of emotional well-being." Two social scientists at Princeton, Angus Deaton and Nobelist Daniel Kahneman, have a new paper in PNAS about money and the determinants of happiness. Increased income above $75,000 is not associated with higher subjective happiness, though it is associated with superior scores on measures of overall life satisfaction. Other tidbits: "Religion has a substantial influence on improving positive affect and reducing reports of stress, but no effect on reducing sadness or worry... The presence of children at home is associated with significant increases in stress, sadness, and worry."

58 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 29-62 within 20 miles
The details of my life are quite...
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... My father was a relentlessly self improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy...he would womanize, he would drink...he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark...HEY wait a tic...that's Dr. Evil's profile not mine, how did that get in here? Allow myself to introduce...myself. I escaped from Dr. Evil's torture chamber of marital conflict 12 years ago. I was cryogenically frozen for a few years until my migraines stopped and then one day i found myself all alone in Australia doing a photoshoot at a resort on the great barrier reef...in a private bungalow with the coral sea on one side and the rainforest on the other...and it rained for 4 nights straight...and that's when I decided something was missing, so here I am. I own 2 small businesses, one teaching computer software design, that pays the bills, and a travel/photography business that I do for fun, for which I shoot pictures of amazing travel destinations.. Have one son, 24, graduated Caltech and now working at NASA. I'm reasonably accomplished in my "first career" (teaching and writing books about computer software design), and my travel for that job often allows me photography opportunities. I've written 7 books on software design. That's enough of that, so I'm now switching to writing travel books - for the iPad, with video and interactive maps. So far have published 5 travel books to iTunes. Rome, London, Amsterdam, Santa Monica, and the Big Island of Hawaii. Recently started a new contract assignment as a software product manager. I chase dreams like being free to travel the world and take pictures and be able to generate income from the photography so that's why I'm always working on my travel business. There's a long list pf places that I absolutely need to photograph but don't want to visit alone: including the Amalfi Coast, Bora Bora, South of France...I generally have a bunch of frequent flyer miles available to use. So the truth is that I get along best with naughty ladies or at least those who have a naughty streak. If you are on the same page you are invited to email me with the secret word Behave and I will know that you read this bit. Does this mean that I am somehow against monogamy or incapable of it? No...actually I am happiest that way...was monogamously married for 17 years...if it's working it's great. If it's not...um, why torture each other? But monogamous naughtiness is yummy.

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to make money online – surely you've heard that over and over again.
If this is so, why is it so hard to finally quit your day job and live on that income?
Only a tiny percentage of affiliate marketers actually make good money doing it.
It's simple, it doesn't involve any high-tech skills, and ClickBank practically does it all for you – so why doesn't it work for most people?
If your affiliate marketing campaign stinks and makes no money, it is probably because you lack one of two things – the dedication to make it work and perseverance to see it through.
It's All About Dedication
If you wanted to start something totally new, a brand new skill that you've never done before, and turn this skill into your career and means of support, how dedicated would you be?
For example, let's say you decided to take up the guitar. In a few years, you're want to be an in-demand session musician in the LA music world. Would you buy a guitar, learn a few chords and then expect to nail an audition?
Of course you wouldn't! What you'd do is lock yourself in your bedroom for hours at a stretch practicing scales. You'd eat, live and breathe guitar playing until you knew what you were doing. THEN, you'd expect to get a gig.
In other words, you would find a training program and stick with it until you were good. You would study the instrument and locate your faults so that you could fix them. You'd see every failure as a learning opportunity.
Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers, he studied the lives of exceptional people, found that in order to get the top in any field, it took an incredible amount of work and dedication. Whether it was in business, art, sports or any other field, he found that these individuals spent something like 10,000 HOURS working on their craft over the course of several years.
Now, affiliate marketing really isn't brain surgery, and it's not going to take you 10,000 hours to learn. But it will take dedication and work. What most people do is buy one "make money online" training program, and in a few weeks when the excitement fades and they're still not making it big, they give up.
It's much rarer to find people who follow a marketing system to the dot, and tweak the system over a period of time to perfect it. Or, they may develop their own system based on the program. However they do it, these people who work hard and stick with it are the ones who see results.
How To Make The Affiliate Marketing System Work
Most of the affiliate marketing systems that I've seen have been very good, but they involve tedious, repetitive tasks. I've met people on the verge of giving up who have been using perfectly good systems, and I always ask them:
– How many hours did you spend researching to find your niche?
– How many niche sites did you create?
– How many articles did you write and submit to directories?
– How many backlinks were you building per week?
Without fail, they answer, "Not so many" or "It took me just a few minutes." And there's where the failure lies. Do these things regularly, and you'll see success. It's like talking to a guy who wants to be a rock star but practices his guitar once a week.
Time Management
Most people will then tell me that they don't have the time. After all there are only 24 hours in a day and you can't make more. But studies show that the typical American watches over 4 hours of television each night! Can you imagine how quickly you could build a successful online business if you turned the TV off once in a while?
The good news is that you don't need 10,000 hours and a decade of study to become a successful affiliate marketer. Just make the time, pick some affiliate marketing strategies that you can stick with. If you're really serious about doing this, ask yourself if you've been doing everything you could to make your dream come true. If the answer is "no," then it's time to start.
What has your experience been with affiliate marketing? Are you ready to quit or just getting started?

She might have been the butt of a lot of his Let Me Explain jokes, but Torrei Hart isn't holding a grudge against ex-husband, Kevin Hart.
"We were never enemies," Torrei told HipHollywood.com.
Though she admits there was "tension" between the two and their attorneys while they were going through the divorce, Torrei and Kevin get along so well now that she might even consider popping up on "Real Husbands of Hollywood."
I'm not sure," she responded when asked about working with him. "I'm not opposed to it. Who knows what the future holds? It's a good possibility."
The real-life wives of his "Real Husbands" co-stars have popped up on the hit show. Tisha Campbell-Martin and Nicole Ari Parker both made cameo appearances on season 1 of the hit BET sitcom.
However, Kevin's ex was played by "Young & the Restless" actress Angell Conwell, but there might be room for Torrei on that show or maybe another one of Kevin's projects, of which Torrei is a fan.
"I thought it was really funny. I thought he did a great job. I'm very proud of him," Torrei said about Let Me Explain. "I do laugh at it because I think it's hilarious. It was very funny."

Foxy Brown ft. Mavado - We're On Fire
Artist: Foxy Brown
Featuring: Mavado
Album: Brooklyn's Don Diva
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 17 votes )
Although Foxy Brown has been hailed as the best female rapper of all-time by such legends as Jay-Z, Nas, and Wu-Tang Clan; legal problems have kept Ms. Brown in the public eye for all the wrong reasons. Currently serving a one-year prison sentence (which includes three months in "the hole"); Foxy's labels are preparing her comeback album, Brooklyn's Don Diva. On the first single, We're On Fire (featuring reggae artist Mavado), the Ill Na Na does a metamorphosis from her old sexually-charged self into a more street heavy feline (similar to old rival Lil' Kim and The Naked Truth before she served her bid.) Brooklyn's Don Diva drops on December 11.

The hacker gang behind the notorious Gameover Zeus campaign has returned to action by attempting to spread a weaker, less complex version of the original malware.
Director of security research for Zscaler Deepen Desai revealed the campaign in a blog post, reporting that the firm spotted the attack while examining a wave of spam messages being sent from the Cutwail botnet.
"We started seeing infection reports involving a new Gameover Zeus variant early last month (July 2014). The major infection vector still remains the same where the Cutwail botnet is being leveraged by the cyber criminals to send out spam emails with a malicious attachment," read the post.
"The malicious attachment on most occasions masquerades as a financial PDF document in order to lure an unsuspecting user into opening it. Once the user opens the attachment, it downloads the latest Gameover Zeus variant from a predetermined location."
Desai said the new version has the same information-stealing goal as it predecessor, but uses more basic technologies. "The previous Gameover Zeus variant used a peer-to-peer (P2P) command-and-control protocol in addition to a failover domain generation algorithm (DGA), to establish connection with a C2 server," he said.
"However, this newer variant does not feature a P2P command and control protocol, instead it is falling back to the old DGA with fast flux tactics to hide the C2 servers. This, in our opinion, is a step backward as P2P was a more resilient feature."
Law enforcement agencies across the globe, including the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), temporarily shut down the original Gameover Zeus botnet, which was estimated to have enslaved between 500,000 and a million computers at its peak in June.
Despite not catching the author of the malware and the campaign, it is believed to have caused untold damage to the original Gameover Zeus operation. Desai said the DGA architecture is one of several technical downgrades.
"Another step backward that we observed is the absence of the kernel-mode rootkit that was pushed out as an update early this year by the Gameover Zeus operators in the previous version. The rootkit made removal of the malware extremely difficult and disabled multiple security features on the infected system," he explained.
Zscaler is one of many security firms to report uncovering a new Gameover Zeus version. Malcovery Security reported finding an evolved, more resilient version of the Gameover Zeus botnet sending out malicious spam messages in July.
Combating criminal operations has been an ongoing goal of European law enforcement. Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) launched a Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) pilot programme in a bid to take on cyber crime operations, such as Gameover Zeus, on Monday.

Customer Reviews of 360 Degree Rotating Duel Layer Black Leather case with smart Cover function for The New iPad 3 3rd iPad 2 Gen + Screen Protector and Stylus Pen
Good. Prompt Delivery9/17/2013
Good product9/17/2013
Although it is not leather, it feels like it to the touch. This cover has a padded part that goes over the screen and hopefully will be able to protect the I-pad. The only thing I don't really like is the stretchy band that you have to pull over the back for it to stay closed. Not sure how long it will last and it's annoying to have to do that every time you close the cover.
Not worth it8/21/2013
Product made cheaply. Wish is worked even remotely like it was supposed to. I'm getting my money back. Better off to just pay an extra ten dollars for one that will stay up without falling for no reason....

Works well and the Price is right!4/12/2013
Comes with a screen protector and stylus... The Screen protector was very hard to de-bubble (if that is a word) and the stylus doesn't work on the 4th gen iPad screen for some reason. Otherwise the fit was snug and if you make sure to use the elastic strap when you close the cover the iPad will stay off and not power cycle as mentioned in other reviews. Provides excellent protection.
Awesome for the price4/4/2013
works great, love the swivel function. haven't used the stylus, and there was a funky smell, but that wore off quickly when i aired it out. actually, bought 2 more for my boyfriend and his brother.

Cheap and excellent! There's only one small part that I'm not satisfied with. The front part of the ipad is not covered at all. So you need to buy a screen protector anyway.

Good for the price.12/16/2012
Case is good, the screen protector was difficult to get on with the air bubbles out..
Not as sturdy as I had hoped for12/8/2012
Overall it looks good. However the IPad stays up only in the steepest position. In the other positions it easily falls flat. I guess I got what I paid for.
We love these cases!!

Screen protector fit perfectly. Good case
Drains battery11/13/2012
When the iPad is in the case and supposed to be off, it's draining the battery. The case seems to be made to last but we cannot store our iPad in the case otherwise it cycles on and off and drains the battery quickly.

Commission Fines Microsoft 899 m Euros
The European Commission has imposed a fine of 899 m Euros on Microsoft, stating that the company had demanded unreasonable prices for interface documentation for it Workgroup servers.
Commenting on the decision, Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said that Microsoft had been the first company to ignore sanctions in 50 years of EU competition policy. The current fine is a consequence of a ruling made in March 2004 which ordered Microsoft to provide interface documentation to competitors on reasonable terms.
The Commission has also published a statement on Microsoft's latest announcement of freely available documentation in which it criticizes Microsoft for having made at least four similar promises in the past without keeping them.
The Commission has published documents related to the anti-competitive behavior claim against Microsoft on its own website.

After a brief briefing the bomb squad and I crept down to the guardians office to retrieve this so called mystery package I had received a notice for on Saturday. The guardian to my dismay was waiting for me in another one of her foul moods. She threw the package at me and the youngest memer of the bomb squad easily caught it. With a sneer we were off back to the apartment.
We dropped our worry about the package because it wasn't that big and so we decided to just laugh the whole thing off over a cup of tea. As soon as we crossed the threshold to my apartment we heard a small beep and darkness took me........ I strayed out of though and mind and each one of my days was a life age on the earth...... I awoke in my surgery I had crawled in the door before blacking out. As I awoke my head was splitting with pain as was my right shoulder. Grabbing a scalpel and some antiseptic I began to dig out the wounds in my shoulder to see what was causing me such pain. After an hour of careful cutting and digging these were what was in my shoulder. Two forever stems I think.
My legs seemed to be ok but from the blood loss I was disoriented and queasy. So I stumbled back out into my apartment to find all the members of my bomb squad vaporized..... I scowered the area finding a few clues to what had happened to us.
I pieced it together from the following clues
2oz at least of each of the following
G.h. Broken scotch
Sweet vanilla honeydew
Cary grant
Billy budd
Mac b honey + chocolate
And the clue that gave it away
Pipinho's blend.
Ben I do not know what I did to you to provoke such an attack but holy **** thanks a mil. Tobaccos look wonderful... Can't smell I am sick... And the stems look great on the cobs. Again wow what the heck dude. Thanks

President Obama's comments about death of Mandela
"To the people of South Africa, we draw strength from the example of renewal, and reconciliation, and resilience that you made real. A free South Africa at peace with itself -- that's an example to the world, and that's Madiba's legacy to the nation he loved.
"We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. So it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to never discount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.
"For now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived — a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. May God Bless his memory and keep him in peace."

FTC Ends Probe of Google StreetView Privacy Breach 99
from the move-on-nothing-to-see-here dept.
Here in Canada we saw one of the Google Cars parked outside a Tim Hortons for a really long time, turns out the winter months were so cold the fuel line froze up. We sent the Engineers back to the States telling them we'd drive it back once it warmed up, but we've actually set it up so we can recieve all the wireless traffic between Alaska and the rest of the states.
Well I for one am glad this is over and Google understands what it did is wrong and nobody will try something like this again.
I'm glad this issue got some public attention, and everyone learned a valuable lesson (which should already have been obvious): reading other people's wi-fi is wrong.
Now I can go back to setting my router to no encryption and be safe in the knowledge that nobody will read the passwords and bank details I will inevitably send in the clear.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The request for clarification arises, in particular, from differing interpretations as to whether certain types of foreign exchange (FX) hedging arrangements constitute reportable transactions within the scope of EMIR or should be treated as excluded. Most notably, the FCA in the UK did not consider FX transactions with a settlement period up to seven days, or entered into for commercial purposes, to be derivative contracts. This is similar, though not an exact match, for the corresponding exemption in the US under Dodd Frank for FX forwards.
Most, if not all, other Member States took a narrower view and assumed that FX transactions would need to be reported if the settlement period was more than two days. This did not address wider issues such as the fact that some FX transactions and, in some cases, the underlying security being hedged, have standard settlement periods of more than two days, or the very limited value of requiring a firm to treat a t+3 settlement as if it was a future.
ESMA has now asked the European Commission for clarity as a matter of urgency and "understands that until the Commission provides clarification, and to the extent permitted under national law, National Competent Authorities will not implement the relevant provisions of EMIR for contracts that are not clearly identified as derivatives contracts across the Union, in particular FX forwards with a settlement date up to seven days, FX forwards concluded for commercial purposes, and physically settled commodity forwards".

looking great man! Really a huge difference!
Thanks everyone, makes me wanna go out and lift tonight!!!
Took a few pics tonight, none really showed my gut like it is though. This is the best one to show. From the front, it looked allmost flat which is completly untrue. If I turn the flash on, it...
What is gear? I too thought it meant steriods? I was about to answer saying "acne" LOL
Forgot to add, no steriods. I know it doesnt look like I have used just forgot to state that
Awsome pictures man! You have made one hell of a change! Keep up the great work and try to update it more than once every 3 years LOL
First, i would like to thank WBB for all the help. I know Im nowhere near most posters here, or nowhere near what I want to be or near my potential. My main reason for making this post is to keep...
From another waxer and tanner, trust me the chicks love it
Your pictures make you look like the bad guy off blade 3, haha(the badass). Sorry, i know thats offtopic but its something I allways wanted to say to you heavybomber
I work with a guy who just had this done(was part of kidney stone problem). He said the kidney stone was a joke compared to the removal of the catheter. Said it was the worst experience of his life
Why not turn on the light?
Looking great man, and I think you look a ton better with the tan and brow done
I have yet to meet anyone in real life who is a veggie that doesnt look sick. Man is supposed to eat meat to grow. Tell him to eat a damn hamburger and pack on some pounds.

I still dont think your picking up what Im laying down brotha. I am simply saying that genetics dont make a person fat/skinny, eating does. Will everyone be able to get like arnold/coleman legal? ...
Perhaps you gained 70# because you ARE dedicated? Not being at the level one wants to be at and giving up and blaming genetics are 2 diff things. Sorry you missed that part?

All set for panda craze with arrival of Kai Kai, Jia Jia on Thursday
Arrival of giant pandas to be marked with souvenirs such as bags, stamps and coins
Published on Sep 5, 2012 6:00 AM
It's not quite panda-monium yet - but some companies are already all geared up to jump on the panda bandwagon.
They are rolling out souvenirs, such as panda-inspired bags and toys, to coincide with the arrival of Singapore's giant panda couple Kai Kai and Jia Jia tomorrow.
The animals are on loan from China for 10 years and will be housed in an enclosure at the new River Safari in Mandai. The safari officially opens next year but visitors will be able to see the pandas from December.
When Chinese giant pandas An An and Xin Xing were on display for 100 days in 1990 at the Singapore Zoo, they attracted more than 400,000 visitors.

[These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. 2These are Verses of the Wise Book (the Qur'an). 3A guide and a mercy for the Muhsinun (good-doers). 4Those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat and they have faith in the Hereafter with certainty. 5Such are on guidance from their Lord, and such are the successful. 6And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, or the Verses of the Qur'an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire). 7And when Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not - as if there were deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment. 8Verily, those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them are Gardens of Delight (Paradise). 9To abide therein. It is a Promise of Allah in truth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 10He has created the heavens without any pillars that you see, and has set on the earth firm mountains lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving (living) creatures of all kinds. And We send down water (rain) from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein. 11This is the creation of Allah. So show Me that which those (whom you worship) besides Him have created. Nay, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrongdoers and those who do not believe in the Oneness of Allah) are in plain error. 12And indeed We bestowed upon Luqman Al-Hikmah (wisdom and religious understanding) saying: "Give thanks to Allah." And whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for (the good of) his ownself. And whoever is unthankful, then verily, Allah is All-Rich (Free of all needs), Worthy of all praise. 13And (remember) when Luqman said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah. Verily joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed. 14And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years - give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination. 15But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do. 16"O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Aware (of its place). 17"O my son! Aqim-As-Salat (perform As-Salat), enjoin (on people) Al-Ma'ruf - (Islamic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these are some of the important commandments (ordered by Allah with no exemption). 18"And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster. 19"And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the braying of the asses." 20See you not (O men) that Allah has subjected for you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and has completed and perfected His Graces upon you, (both) apparent (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, and the lawful pleasures of this world, including health, good looks, etc.) and hidden [i.e. One's Faith in Allah (of Islamic Monotheism) knowledge, wisdom, guidance for doing righteous deeds, and also the pleasures and delights of the Hereafter in Paradise]? Yet of mankind is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or a Book giving light! 21And when it is said to them: "Follow that which Allah has sent down", they say: "Nay, we shall follow that which we found our fathers (following)." (Would they do so) even if Shaitan (Satan) invites them to the torment of the Fire? 22And whosoever submits his face (himself) to Allah, while he is a Muhsin (good-doer i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allah's sake without any show off or to gain praise or fame and does them in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold [La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)]. And to Allah return all matters for decision. 23And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). To Us is their return, and We shall inform them what they have done. Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). 24We let them enjoy for a little while, then in the end We shall oblige them to (enter) a great torment. 25And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth," they will certainly say: "Allah." Say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah!" But most of them know not. 26To Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Verily, Allah, He is Al-Ghani (Rich, Free of all needs), Worthy of all praise. 27And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink wherewith to write), with seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 28The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer. 29See you not (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that Allah merges the night into the day (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the night are added to the hours of the day), and merges the day into the night (i.e. the decrease in the hours of day are added to the hours of night), and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running its course for a term appointed; and that Allah is All-Aware of what you do. 30That is because Allah, He is the Truth, and that which they invoke besides Him is Al-Batil (falsehood, Satan and all other false deities); and that Allah, He is the Most High, the Most Great. 31See you not that the ships sail through the sea by Allah's Grace that He may show you of His Signs? Verily, in this are signs for every patient, grateful (person). 32And when a wave covers them like shades (i.e. like clouds or the mountains of sea-water), they invoke Allah, making their invocations for Him only. But when He brings them safe to land, there are among them those that stop in between (Belief and disbelief). But none denies Our Signs except every perfidious ingrate. 33O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true: let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah. 34Verily Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).
