I just ordered two (one for me, one for the wife). This is exactly what I was hoping to see for my iPad 2. I like my SmartCover and have seen a wave of cases/covers that do not allow for its use. SwitchEasy has been one of my best iPhone cases for years and now seems to be a solid iPad option as well. I am sure I will be pleased.

I've ordered the SwitchEasy Canvas 2 for my iPad 2 on the recommendations of this very site. It is an excellent case in of itself (also with the magnetic Smart Cover feature - that really is cool - just open the cover and Voila! Your iPad is ready for use! Also came with a screen film as well, and a pretty nice one at that). In addition, it was only $10 more than the vinyl Smart Cover.
With that said, this is indeed very cool that they came up with something that will work in conjunction with the Smart Cover. The Smart Cover is a decent option, although I thought it was overpriced for what you got, thus why I did not get one and got that Canvas 2 case instead. However, if you already have one, than this here would be an excellent addition to the Smart Cover to give protection to the rest of the unit. Would've been nice if they also included a screen film, though.
Plus, they are fast on the orders. I've ordered my case and received it in something like 3 days!

I know this is probably bordering on heresy, but why doesn't Apple design products that don't require protector screens, protective backs and fronts, etc.? Why do they insist on using material that is easily scratched or broken (glass, anyone?!). I know there is a 3rd-market party because Apple wants things to be pretty, but is it too much to ask that at Apple's prices that their products be practical, as well?
Personally, every time I buy an i-this, I know I need to spend another $100 or more on protection, accessories, etc., all because Apple has provided the bare minimum protection and accessories.

I guess I'm in the other camp on the whole thing.. I mean, the iPad is a tool, I figure who cares if it gets a few scratches on the bottom. The LAST thing I wanna do is actually add weight to it. Isn't that the point of having an iPad 2, slim and lighter? I always figured the Smart Cover was all that anyone really ever needed. Personally, I don't see the "easily scratched or broken" angle you're coming from as all items I have from Apple have withstood a lot of abuse (the iPad Classic chrome backing is easily scratched yes, but that's well, chrome.)

Wow. Super disappointing. Ordered 3 Cover Buddys, and they sent me 3 Nudes which don't work with the iPad2 covers. Guess I'm arranging to send them back to Hong Kong…..and wait for the ones I ordered that are now out of stock. Awesome.

I just received one of the two Cover Buddy's I ordered last week. I got the black (gray on the way) and it fits and feels very good. It matches up nearly perfectly to my black SmartCover with only a small uncovered area around the hinge area where the magnets connect.
It does add a bit of bulk, but not so much that it is not worth the protection. Switcheasy remains one of my favorite case makers!

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Los Angeles Dodgers made lots of news over the winter spending money and stockpiling arms. The ratio of capable pitchers to available spots ensures that manager Don Mattingly and his staff will engage in some lively debate between now and the season opener against San Francisco on April 1.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The Dodgers have eight starting pitchers in camp: Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Josh Beckett, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Ted Lilly, Chad Billingsley, Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang. Lilly and Billingsley, both of whom are coming off injuries, have been throwing without restrictions in Glendale. Even if the Dodgers decide to place Lilly on the disabled list on Opening Day and move one of their other starters to the bullpen, they'll still have six pitchers in the running for five spots. To further complicate matters, they won't even need a fifth starter until April 13.
The Dodgers also are loaded with bullpen pieces. If Kenley Jansen, Brandon League, Javy Guerra, Matt Guerrier, Ronald Belisario and J.P. Howell are healthy, they'll account for six relief spots. The Dodgers also have veterans Kevin Gregg, Mark Lowe and Peter Moylan in camp on minor league deals.
"We tell these guys over the course of spring training, 'Force us to make tough decisions,'" Mattingly said. "We want to have those tough decisions and discussions at the end of camp, like, 'Where are we going to go if everybody is healthy and throwing the ball well?'"
Mattingly is intrigued by what the Dodgers might have in Gregg and Lowe, righty relievers who were forced to scramble for jobs in a tough free-agent market. Gregg has 144 major league saves, and Lowe has 229 strikeouts in 262 career innings with Seattle and Texas.
"Relievers are funny," Mattingly said. "There will be a year where they're really good. Then they'll have a down year. Then the next thing you know, they kind of show up and the arm rebounds. You never know what you're going to see from year to year."
Harang looking fit
Aaron Harang will never be confused with a skinny jeans model at 6-foot-7, 260 pounds. But Mattingly singled him out for mention Friday for reporting to camp in excellent shape. Harang, 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA in 31 starts last year, needs to make a quick impression if he's going to make some headway in the Dodgers' starting pitching competition.
"He's one of the guys I noticed right away," Mattingly said. "He's a big guy, but he looks like he's in great shape to me. It kind of lets you know that he did his winter work. It's a lot better than seeing him come in 20 pounds over where he should be."
Sele voter still a mystery
Aaron Sele, who is working as a special assistant to Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, inadvertently landed in the middle of a Twitter flareup in January when he received a lone, anonymous vote in the Hall of Fame balloting. The reaction from media members and fans ranged from amusement to outrage.
Sele, who went 148-112 with a 4.61 ERA in 15 big league seasons with the Red Sox, Mariners, Angels, Rangers, Dodgers and Mets, reflected on the episode from Dodgers camp Friday with his typically good-natured perspective.
"I was definitely caught off guard by it," Sele said. "I was also appreciative of the vote. Hopefully, somebody respected me for what I did and the way I played the game.
"I respect the Hall of Fame, what it stands for and the people who are in it. I understand that I do not deserve to be in the Hall. I'm only 152 wins short of earning my way in there. I get that."

Dow futures off nearly 100 points as of 8:3o AM.
They're saying – "Global markets are slumping, oil is dropping, and government bonds and gold are surging as investors seek safer ground."
Okay. So, that is what we are working with today. Never a need to panic, of course. Just see what unfolds and respond appropriately.
I think, I (and probably everyone else), had talked enough about the the major averages yesterday as far as them being up against resistance.
Each held up Thursday, yet futures are considerably lower this morning as we anticipate a pullback.
If the market does pull back, we will closely monitor our current positions for any individual weakness.
Holdings which are extended, should be considered the most vulnerable.
Extreme examples include: NTES (P/L: +13.6%), DW (P/L: +31.9%), ERI (P/L: +47.7%), CMN (P/L: +3.9%), IGT (P/L: +6.2%), AHS (P/L: +35.3%), HII (P/L: +27.2%).

What to Sell to Make Money
No matter how comfortable you are with your present job, we are all looking for avenues to make a little extra cash. Whether you need to make some headway in paying your credit card debt, or want to buy something useful, or simply want to have more cash to spend, one of the best ways to do is to sell a few things that you do not need. This will not only give you a cash influx, but will also help you get rid of clutter. Before you start selling your stuff, you need to know where to sell the items, and which items are worth money. Without proper planning and research, you might give away expensive items for a few bucks. The best place to sell your stuff is online, through sites like eBay. But sometimes it is more efficient and effective to hold a garage sale, particularly if you have a garage or attic full of junk to sell.
Clothes and Accessories
Ever wondered what to do with that closet full of clothes and shoes that no longer fit you? A great way to get rid of these clothes and accessories is to sell them online on e-commerce sites such as eBay. In fact, clothes and accessories are one of the best things to sell on eBay to make money. To make sure that you earn the maximum amount of cash from selling your clothes, you need to make sure that you give short descriptions and photographs of items that you are listing. Remember that branded clothing and accessories fetch a higher price than non-branded items. If you are listing a branded item, make sure that you describe it properly with the name of the brand, condition of the item (used or new), size, and material it is made of.
One obvious item that most people overlook for selling is furniture. Most homeowners accumulate a lot of furniture, some of which are never utilized much. Now you can sell old and unused furniture and make a fair amount of money in the process. Before you hold a garage sale, first make an inventory of all the furniture that you want to sell (or get rid of). If you have inherited an old piece of furniture from your grandmother or aunt, it is a good idea to get it appraised before selling it in a garage sale. That piece of old furniture might turn out to be a valuable antique. If you have a few pieces that are particularly well-crafted or you bought from a branded furniture store, you can list them on Craigslist. As with clothing, in listing furniture too, you need to give a good detailed description along with pictures to attract customers.
Do you like taking great pictures that are unique? Then how about selling your photographs to stock photo sites to make some money. Stock photography sites buy high quality images from photographers and then resell them to ad agencies, websites, magazines, and brochures. To make money through this venture, you need to take good photographs with high quality images. It is also a good idea to first browse the stock photo site and observe the kind of images they have in stock. This will give you an idea about the quality of images that they are looking for and if you will be able to match that. Remember that you get paid only when your images sell. So choose your subject for your photographs wisely, as unique images with a clear concept sell more.
Books and Music CDs
Another great item to sell to make money is books. Books, magazines, and even music CDs can fetch a good amount if they are rare or bestsellers. Older books with unique titles sell more easily than generic books. Paperbacks generally sell for less. You need to know about the salability of the books you possess before you sell them on websites or in garage sales. Any book or novel that is out of print now or which is signed by the author will fetch a higher amount.
Collectibles like antique vases, pitchers, antique metallic frames, jewelry boxes, and porcelain figurines are also great items to sell to make money. You can hold a sale at your place to sell off these items or you can list them on online auctions in eBay. If you think that your product or item has a high value, then selling them through an online auction is your best bet.
Handmade Products
If you are creative and make handmade crafts that friends and family rave about, then selling these items is a great option. One way that you can sell such handmade items is to hold a small exhibition in your home. But a better and more convenient way of selling handmade crafts is on Etsy, which is an e-commerce website where you can buy and sell handmade items, vintage goods, and craft supplies. For selling crafts on Etsy, it has to be handmade by you and you cannot sell anything that is mass-produced. A great advantage in selling on Etsy is that you can do it from the comfort of your home; all you need to do is dispatch the item to the seller directly after receiving the payment. If you have vintage crafts or goods, then you can sell those at Etsy as well.
Selling items that you do not need is a great way to earn extra cash. Before you sell anything that you consider to be valuable, like your grandfather's handcrafted snuff box or your great-aunt's tallboy, get these items appraised. Sometimes these items might turn out to be valuable antiques and it could be a very bad decision to sell it.
Easy Ways to Make Money From Home
A job is never really appreciated, unless and until it gives you its worth. And if you are just idle at home and thinking on what to do, then you have more reasons to be happy as there are innumerable ways to keep oneself busy and at the same time, earn money. And when it comes to teenagers and kids, it is the dream of every parent to see their kids understand their responsibilities at a tender age and it doesn't get better than this, when you and your kids both have some easy ways to make money from home.
10 Simple Ways to Earn from Home
Money making is a talent in itself and devising new ideas for it requires creativity. Besides, before opting for a job which you would like to do from home, make sure it is something close to your heart. Passion driven hobbies make excellent jobs and they make working absolute fun. Here are some of the good money making tips, applicable across all the age groups.
Freelance content writing is one of the best ways to make money from home. Such writing jobs come as contracts, where the person may be hired on a project basis to write the content as desired. This is one of the best jobs for people who have a flare for writing on myriad topics. But before you earn your coveted pocket money, make sure that you are thorough with the copyright laws and the employee agreement annexures of the project you have opted to work for. In certain cases, some rights may also be offered to you for selling the piece of information, which happens to be your indigenous write up.
Do Research
Many websites today are in dearth of people who can research well, because researching requires a lot of patience and diligence to assimilate information on a particular topic. Of course, this is a good start for people who are extremely net savvy and enjoy Internet surfing a lot. For this, however, one must be knowledgeable in web programming and HTML tags. Also, an Internet researcher must be well versed about Internet terminology and other aspects like search engine optimization. To start from home, all you need is your own website with your own DBA. Once done with the setup, there are a lot of free homepage services that will provide other design tools, web space, and email as needed. Start your job by marking the presence of the site on the Internet.
Merchandise Shopping
This is a new concept in itself. If you have gone through many online retail review stores telling you what to buy and what not to, it is because it hires people as merchandise or mystery shoppers to evaluate a store's performance. The merchandising is inclusive of retail and grocery stores as well, where you may be required to follow the planogram to do the assessment for the firm. A planogram is nothing but a descriptive version of the products, on how they must be installed, stacked, restocked, and maintained. The same kind of a procedure can be followed for restaurants, where parameters like customer service, food service, and management can be taken into consideration for the assessment. The best aspect of this job is that, one can choose it at convenience, including the place. The same concept can be used for e-shopping as well.
Try Hands at Craft
If your kid has a good hand at craft work like origami, then nothing like it! Making greeting cards with the most innovative designs, or Christmas lanterns with beautiful patterns, or making exquisite paper bag puppets can fetch your child a bounty. Making designs for Halloween costumes or whitewashing the neighbor's fence can add on to your piggy bank.
Blogging is a place where the passion to write can be combined with the urge to earn. It is the best way of doing business at home. With minimal start up costs, one can gain a loyal and an impressive readership that can add on to your daily income. Depending on the network traffic, its ranking, and the way it is advertised, it sure is a tangible source of income for you. This is a good option for the teen crowd who are very much interested in Internet advertising of their blogs.
Culinary Skill at its Best
Trying out new recipes and advertising them, is not a new concept but is not easy either. If one knows the right way of advertising his or her culinary skills, one can really make a fortune. Try out some simple recipes and demonstrate it in front of a crowd, and it is bound to get your talents rolling back in the form of money.
Stocks, Bonds, and Affiliate Marketing
Stocks and funds is another good option to consider. But before one enters into this domain, he or she has to do a thorough study on the working of the stock market. Another good choice is Internet affiliate marketing. If you are good on this subject, minting money on eBay and other similar online shopping stores will be fun.
All children at some point in their life nurture a passion for dancing, and a few are born with the talent which shows out in the crowd. Teens who are passionate about dancing can start off with a dance class. The resources needed are bare minimal. All one needs is to rent a large room depending on the number of students, and a music system.
Teaching happens to be the noblest of all the professions. One of the best means to earn from home, it is also a liberating experience for those, who have a passion to teach. It also happens to be one of the best ways for teens.
Go Designer
If you have an uncanny art at designing clothes, then you might as well like to give a try at starting a clothes boutique at home. This may also give you further ideas for starting a clothing line in future.
Types of Taxes That You Pay
Taxation in the U.S. can be rather complicated. The purpose of levying taxes is to obtain revenue to keep the government running and provide public services. Different types of taxes are imposed on working individuals to achieve the same. There are certain tax deductions that can be reduce taxable income, like mortgages, charity, medical bills, etc.
There is no exemption from taxes however. After all, taxation plays an important role in the financial decision-making of a nation. Taxes are very widely classified. The paragraphs below provide some of the important tax types and their descriptions.
An Introduction to the Tax Structure
As mentioned earlier, in the U.S., taxes are collected by the federal and state governments.
There are two principal types of taxes―direct and indirect.
In simple terms, direct taxes are paid directly to the government or any authorized entity, while indirect taxes are collected via a series of taxpayers―mostly by means of increase in the prices of goods.
From an economic perspective, direct taxes are levied on and collected directly from a specific group of people.
Indirect taxes are collected from an organization other than the people actually responsible for the taxes.
Examples of direct taxes include income tax, wealth tax, etc. Examples of indirect tax include excise duty, sales tax, service tax, etc.
Main Types of Taxes
Income Tax
Income tax is levied on every working individual, and is collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The states and local governments have their own income taxes as well.
The tax is levied on your personal income, interest income, and revenue from business.
Income tax brackets are generally progressive―the more you earn, the more taxes you pay.
Federal tax rates are higher than the state tax rates.
You can reduce your taxable income by means of certain allowances and deductions.
Remember that not all states have imposed a state tax. A federal income tax is mandatory though.
Property Tax
This is imposed by most local governments, since it is used to finance local services.
The tax is levied on real estate (mostly) and may apply to their property too.
This tax is deductible, and many American citizens may qualify for a interest deduction on mortgage. However, legally, the tax is deductible only if the real estate property is used for public welfare.
Since the tax is imposed on realty, it always depends on the market value of the property. The annual rates may vary between 0.9% to 1.2% of the property's current value.
The total tax amount collected is used to fund public services, such as schools, sanitation, security, etc.
The amount is paid to the local government or the county, based on the state guidelines.
Payroll Tax
The federal as well as state governments make it compulsory to pay payroll taxes.
It is a tax that the employer pays on behalf of the employee, i.e., the amount is deducted from his paycheck.
It is authorized by the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), and hence, is also called FICA tax.
There are two types of payroll taxes in US―Social Security tax and Medicare. Every employed individual in the U.S. is supposed to have a Social Security number.
Medicare and Social Security are federal run programs that provide benefits, generally for American citizens. Payroll taxes are used to finance these programs. The tax amounts to 7.65% of the income, of which 6.2% is for Social Security, and 1.45% is for Medicare.
Sales Tax
It is a type of indirect tax and is imposed on purchased goods and services.
The amount varies as per the price of the goods as well as the set rules and regulations of the state. Mostly, it is a percentage of the paid price.
It is levied on most of the purchased products, except food items. Also, some states/counties/cities charge a nominal amount on the product price, while others may charge a hefty amount. The percentage varies between 0 to 16%.
The amount is collected by the merchants at the time of sale and deposited with the state authority.
Excise Tax
Also called excise duty, it is similar to sales tax, except that it is levied on particular goods.
Also, it depends on the number of goods sold, not the amount.
The Federal government may impose a certain percentage of tax on every liter of oil, irrespective of the price per liter.
An excise tax may be charged on items, like beer, cigarettes, gas, etc.
States may charge an additional tax on these goods as well.
This tax is also called 'sin tax', since they are mostly imposed on such goods that are harmful to health. The purpose of excise tax is to make an effort to minimize the purchase of unhealthy items. It is mostly combined with sales tax.
Estate Tax
It is also called inheritance tax. It is levied by the Federal government and some of the state governments too.
The property you leave behind after your death is called estate. If you have more estate than required, the estate tax is to be paid on the inheritance of the property by your heirs.
That is to say, if you have a lot of property―including business revenue, security, cash, insurance, etc., and you distribute the property among your kith and kin, they will have to pay heavy estate tax on the same.
The federal government charges a maximum of 40% of the property for estate tax, while the states use comparatively lower rates. In some states, the amount paid depends on the relation between the deceased and the taxpayer.
Gift Tax
It is similar to the estate tax, but is levied on a large amount of transferred wealth. The wealth here may include shares, donations, cars, etc.
All gifts above USD 14,000 are taxable. The tax collected is 40% of the gift value.
The federal government charges a much lower amount for gifts as compared to estates.
If you plan to leave a huge number of assets for your heirs, it is advisable to seek advice from a tax professional and organize the assets.
Miscellaneous Taxes Paid
Capital Gains Tax: It is paid on the sale of stocks and bonds. You may also be subject to a capital gains tax on the sale of real estate.
Hotel Tax: It is the amount that hotels charge above the regular room rate.
Use Tax: It is paid for the different services that you use, like toll, licenses, cell phone, air travel, rental cars, lease, etc.
Luxury Tax: It is imposed on expensive items like jewelry or automobiles.
Fuel Tax: It is a type of user tax imposed on use of fuel―diesel, oil, gasoline, etc. The money is used for the maintenance of roads and highways.
Corporate Income Tax: It is levied by the states on huge corporations. The amounts vary as per the state.
Unemployment Tax: It is paid to unemployment agencies to help people find jobs. It is levied by the federal government.
Foreign Tax: It is the income tax imposed by the government of the foreign country. You have to pay a percentage of whatever income is earned by you in that country.
Failure to pay taxes on time may lead to severe repercussions. As a responsible citizen, it is essential to pay taxes on time. You may seek advice from a tax professional if you are confused about which taxes you have to pay.

SAN FRANCISCO — Rabin Worldwide Inc., a San Francisco-based industrial auction company, in conjunction with Capital Recovery Group, a Connecticut-based industrial auction and appraisal firm, will conduct multiple auctions for the remaining assets of former Hostess plants on behalf of Hackman Capital Partners.
Hackman Capital Acquisition Company, L.L.C. in mid-August paid $62.5 million for certain real estate, machinery, equipment and fleet assets located in 34 states that were not sold after the former Hostess Brands, Inc. ceased operations in November 2012. Now, the company is putting the assets up for bid.
In addition to seven complete Hostess plants that produced Twinkies, Cupcakes, and Wonder Bread, the auction will include more than 3,000 trucks and trailers at over 90 additional locations. Rabin said many of the trucks were responsible for delivering Twinkies and other baked goods from the regional distribution centers to local convenience stores.
A series of factory auctions will be held both on-line and live over the next three months, beginning Oct. 30 in Los Angeles. The remaining auctions will be held in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Oakland and Philadelphia, Rabin said.
"The amount of interest in these auctions is unprecedented," said Richard Reese, president of Rabin Worldwide. "The nostalgia for Hostess Brands has attracted a lot of attention to the sales, and we hope it will strengthen bidding."

The 1960's: Rebelsby Dorothy Hoobler Tom Hoobler
THIS SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE Century Kids follows two rebels--in the best sense of the word. The first is Chuck, the great-great-grandson of the patriarch, Lionel Aldrich, whose family we have followed through five generations of the twentieth century. His rebellion, so typical of the decade, is against unfair authority. The second rebel is Sojie, who takes a stand against the established practice of the times as she returns with her mother to the South to participate in a lunch-counter demonstration demanding equal service for blacks. Both young people typify the awakening social consciousness that characterized the decade. AS IN THE EARLIER CENTURY KIDS volumes, the events and artifacts of the decade provide a backdrop for the narrative. The 1960s are a particularly inspiring decade with the growing success of Dr. Martin Luther King's nonviolent protest movement--yet it was a tragic decade as well, as young idealists grow to admire young President John F. Kennedy, only to see him brutally assassinated. IN ADDITION TO AN EXCITING STORY, the Hooblers provide an historical afterword, explaining some of the more interesting aspects of their research into the decade, as well as a timeline outlining what was going on in the world in which the story unfolds.

3-D Engineeringby Vicki V. May
How did somebody come up with the idea for bridges, skyscrapers, helicopters, and nightlights? How did people figure out how to build them? In 3D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes, young readers tackle real-life engineering problems by figuring out real-life solutions. Kids apply science and math skills to create prototypes for bridges, instruments, alarms, and more. Prototypes are preliminary models used by engineers--and kids--to evaluate ideas and to better understand how things work. Engineering design starts with an idea. How do we get to the other side of the river? How do we travel long distances in short times? Using a structured engineering design process, kids learn how to brainstorm, build a prototype, test a prototype, evaluate, and re-design. Projects include designing a cardboard chair to understand the stiffness of structural systems and designing and building a set of pan pipes to experiment with pitch and volume. Creating prototypes is a key step in the engineering design process and prototyping early in the design process generally results in better processes and products. 3D Engineering gives kids a chance to figure out many different prototypes, empowering them to discover the mechanics of the world we know.
3-D Geometric Origamiby Rona Gurkewitz Bennett Arnstein
This innovative book -- among the first to combine the art of origami with making polyhedra-based models -- shows papercrafters how to create over 60 different polyhedral from origami units. Comprised of modules made of single sheets of paper, the figures offer model builders and math students alike a stimulating entrée into the world of three-dimensional geometric origami.Origamists are initially introduced to a number of preliminary folds that will aid in constructing a variety of figures. Step-by-step instructions and clearly outlined diagrams then show how to create polyhedral ranging from a relatively simple tetrahedron and cube to such mind-boggling fabrications as the double pentagonal pyramid, a truncated hexadecahedron and the 92-faced snub dodecahedron. You'll also learn to construct these intriguing polyhedral: a stellated icosahedron, an equilateral triangle dodecahedron, and a truncated octahedron.Graded according to difficulty, these multifaceted projects will not only challenge devotees of the ancient Japanese art of paper folding but will be useful in classroom demonstrations of mathematical principles.
