Always had a love of Star Wars,only got into the collecting of kenner toys and models recently, I have a ton of varied hobbies, from modelling, to photography, even competitive target shooting (I'm a Corrections Officer).
I saw an article about the 501st awhile back, which peaked my interest into costuming even more,decided to put my efforts into making my own Boba, came across this site, learned alot from reading, and decided to finally introduce myself. The amount of reference material on here is overwhelming, I love it!

Product Details
Factory Style Fog Lights (FL-HYS2011-C) by Spyder®, 1 Pair. Clear lens. Bulbs: 880 (included). Includes: Wiring Harness, On/Off Switch. Replace your damaged or non-functional fog lights with these top-notch OE style fog lights that will help you see the road clearer and increase visibility in fog and inclement weather. Mounted low on the vehicle and angled toward the road, they reduce glare and illuminate the road right in front of the vehicle, enabling the driver to stay on track and make their vehicle more conspicuous to other folks for safer motoring.
Increased visibility
Increased lighting will make your vehicle more conspicuous
OE styling
Attractive housing and light arrangement for an original style look. Designed to be an exact replacement for your factory lights, however some electrical wiring work may be required; most lights come with detailed installation instructions
Improved illumination
Light is directed downward toward the road instead for better vision in fog
Premium quality
Thoroughly tested to ensure operation and completely sealed to prevent moisture from being trapped inside
Meets all quality and legal standards
Meets ISO 9000 and 9002 quality standards. Approved by the SAE. Meets DOT regulations and compliant with FMVSS 108
The drops of water in fog reflect the light back at you when you turn on regular headlights, which doesn't help much when you're trying to grope your way through a fog bank. Fog lights are mounted closer to the ground and aimed downward to direct their light at the roadway, reducing the glare created from reflected light. Fog lights illuminate the road directly in front of the vehicle, so you can stay on your side of the yellow line and off the shoulder when driving at a speed appropriate to conditions. Being able to see where you're going is key to safe driving, making fully functional fog lights important to your vision. These OE Style Fog Lights will provide the added safety factor of fog lights along with attractive original equipment styling to become a great addition to your vehicle. If you're replacing defective original fog lights, these are the affordable alternative to the high dealer price.
Every Spyder light undergoes a rigorous testing and quality control process before it leaves the factory. All wiring is tested to make sure the light is completely functional, and the housing is sealed with high quality silicone to ensure that no moisture can become trapped inside. Spyder lights are approved by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and ISO-9000 and ISO-9002 certified. They meet all U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and are compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108. Most Spyder fog lights come with comprehensive instructions to guide you through the installation, which includes detailed wiring information where applicable. They're covered against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 Year (If purchased after 3-1-2015) following the original purchase date.
Spyder Auto® is an automotive styling and performance accessories supplier based in City of Industry, California. The company has been serving the automotive industry for nearly a decade, during which time they have consistently outpaced the competition by offering products with cutting edge design and class-leading performance, manufactured to the highest quality standards. Their performance lighting provides unparalleled styling with the latest performance advancements including projector beams, LEDs, and Halos, and they also offer an extensive selection of conventional and OE style lighting. From stock replacement to the most elaborate custom creation, all are price competitive with OEM light units, making Spyder the affordable alternative that delivers more style, performance, and quality while leaving more cash in your pocket.

Weekly Beauty Challenge: Rocker Eyeliner
I love music just as much as I love makeup. Sadly, I don't have a musical bone in my body (proven by a borderline disastrous attempt with the violin in the 7th grade). But I'm okay with the fact that sporting a rocker-inspired makeup look is the closest I'll ever get to my dreams of musical greatness.
For this week's Beauty Challenge, recreate one of the liner looks below, or show off your own rocker inspired liner look with your favorite pencil, pen, cream or gel.
Do you prefer the more classic rock look from the '50s, the grunge rock '90s, or the dramatic rocker-chic liner of the '00s?
Show & Tell in the comments!

70's all the way! Using the Smokey Design Dior 5-Colour:
ooh! i was JUST slacking off from work to play with eyeliner! (working from home today)
I did a big cat-eye with the sephora + pantone emerald green eyeliner that was a 100pt pk and lined the bottom of that with my MICA black gel liner.
@makeupmaven - Ooh love it! You've definitely got the attitude to rock it, too
@drrragon - You know I'm just going to ask you to post a pic, right?
Beautiful @drrragon!
Thanks Candace, I swear by those Dior 5-Colour palettes and that smokey eye will never go out of style!
I guess, according to the picture-timeline, 50s for me!
Here is my everday Captivating Winged Cat Eye. All Beauty products from Sephora.
I think my favorite is the 80's, I've always kind of had a soft spot for a lot of those terrible fashions, particularly if they're showcased in moderation. I tend to go with a less smudgy 90's though.
Here is my eye look (90s) makeup
According to that chart, I'm totally a 60s girl!
I like the 50's pic
I don't really do a winged thing with my liner, I just thinly line the top lashline. The last few days I've actually only been putting liner and mascara on my eyes....taking a break from all that primer and shadows and going back to basics.

Printing Onto Perspex
Posted 15 March 2007 - 08:58 AM
Perspex art is suprisingly affordable and wholesale prices are available for photographers wishing to sell their work on.
At Four Blank Walls we supply well over 200 professional photographers with their images printed onto perspex. We represent artists from Europe and the USA.
Photographs are printed first onto photographic paper and sealed to the reverse of the perspex. This is then sealed to reverse with a white backing for complete opacity.
The pieces are finished off with four stainless steel fittings in each corner.
Prices are set at a level that allows you to double or treble your profit without being more expensive than the competition.
Please visit www.fourblankwalls.co.uk and ask for our special wholesale price list for photographers.

It isn't a self written post like most on here . It has been compiled at a considerable cost to our company, those samples were not cheap!!.
Many thanks Sam.

Four Blank Walls have been printing this stuff for 8 years. They were the first company along with acrylicize to start this as an art enterprise. Look up "perspex art" on google and you will find them as no 1 in the natural listings.
There are three main types of perspex printing at the moment.
1) direct printing which requires a white wall behing the artwork.
This is a new kind of printing. This is being sold as a new way to view your art. The reality of it is that most printers are not able to print true white and as a result the companies have invented this "see through the image" thing as a good thing. In reality you just get to see a faded image and the wall.
Even those printers that can print directly to the acrylic and print white are not getting things right. You have two non permeable substrates with no bond except the drying of inks against plastic. If you paint acrylic paints onto a piece of plastic, how long do you think it will last?
2) The second method is close to the correct method but not totally great.
The image is printed on fine art paper such as epson photographic paper. This is then sealed to the reverse of the acrylic using a sheet of double sided glue. This is ok but the glue will turn yellowish in a few years. I know this as i used to print this way and have the prints to prove it.
3) The last way to do this and the only way we have found after 8 years is to reverse mount. This means that the image is printed by a solvent printer (outside inks) and printed onto clear vinyl. This is then put through a roll laminator and white backing or silver backing is added.
You then have a piece of quality acrylic and the prints and you heat seal them togethor making a permanant bond. We sell over 1000 of these each month and are the largest seller of acrylics that we know of. We only ever get them back when they are damaged in transit.
The other problem is that most suppliers of acrylics use extruded acrylic. This is not ideal for printing as it is created differently to cast acrylic. To get cast acrylic for good prices, you have to be buying tonnes of the stuff.
Most also don't use "perspex" brand. They use stuff that comes from China and is not as good.
Don't mean to slag off the competition here but i only know of two other companies apart from Four Blank Walls that are any good and in the season of good will i will give them here.
The first is of course Four Blank Walls
The second is thecanvaslounge
The third is acrylicize. They use a completely different method but it does look ok.
Most of the others are quite new and i doubt would have had the time or experience to state what works and what doesn't. Just my opinion.

On the practical side our acrylic prints are very durable and resistant to moisture and water. So aside to making it an ideal product for your home, bars, gymnasiums and restaurants, you can also create your own piece of art.
Your image is printed onto a hybrid moisture resistant photo paper, then sealed onto a clear acrylic sheet, other finishes are available. Your acrylic art will be finished with polished edges, pre-drilled, and supplied with four contemporary metal or stainless steel wall fixings and fitting guide.

Would be really great if they could add some discount coupons seasonally. This is great way how to make photos interesting and more creative

McClendon interviews for Marlins' managerial job
Detroit Tigers batting coach Lloyd McClendon has interviewed for the Miami Marlins' managerial vacancy, a major-league source confirmed to FOXSports.com.
McClendon, current Toronto Blue Jays minor league manager Mike Redmond, and former Philadelphia Phillies manager Larry Bowa are believed to be the remaining candidates for the Miami job. The Marlins would like to have their new manager in place before baseball's general managers meet next week in Indian Wells, Calif.
McClendon went 336-446 over five seasons as the Pittsburgh Pirates manager, from 2001 through 2005. His experience and calm demeanor would have appeal to the Marlins, following the tumultuous 2012 season under Ozzie Guillen.

The month of February in Germany has become a cause for renewed conflict between neo-Nazis groups and anti-Nazis groups as each attempts to outdo the other in bringing out crowds to remember the Allied bombing of Dresden on February 14-15 in 1945. Anti Nazis groups have fallen into the trap of the numbers game which compels them to claim "victory" or "defeat" based on the number of people who flock to the streets of Dresden. Neo-Nazis seek to claim the bombing is evidence that Allied forces were "just as brutal" as the Nazis since at least 25,000 people died in the bombing raid. Actually, at this point in time, the German education system does an outstanding job in educating children about World War II and the Holocaust so Germans do not have to excuse themselves for failing to recognize what happened in the war.
German planes initiated the bombing of cities by wiping out Warsaw and Amsterdam in 1939-1940 and then proceeded for months to bomb English cities which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Once anger is unleashed there is no stopping the murderous rage which can result and nations seek to inflict on the enemy what was done to their civilians. Is this justified? I don't know. It is understandable. War stinks. However, to compare a bombing raid, as devastating as it was, with the Holocaust is insulting to the memory of those who died in death camps. British and American commanders wanted to inflict death, destruction and damage on Germany, but there was no plan to systematically kill every single German.

Organizers say SnoDeo attendance went up this year
Special to the Union Leader | March 07. 2013 9:08PM
Snowmobiles sit idle on Diamond Pond in Stewartstown as riders turned out in droves for last weekend's SnoDeo, which offered a chance to test drive sleds. (Courtesy)
Kevin Drew, president of Swift Diamond Rider Snowmobile Club in West Stewartstown, said Saturday some 4,000 visitors were expected to trek to Coleman State Park, and it appeared the SnoDeo drew about that number.
"Our snowmobile traffic was definitely up this year," Drew said Tuesday, adding, "This year, we had more snowmobilers riding in than cars driving in. That's a good sign that trail conditions are very good all around us."
A portion of frozen Diamond Pond became a snowmobile parking lot as riders arrived at the Stewartstown trail hub from all points.
Drew's 800-member club is responsible for grooming and maintaining 120 miles of snowmobile trails. The members depend on the $10,000 to $15,000 in profits from the SnoDeo each year to help maintain the trails.

Tim McGraw Says He Always Seeks Faith Hill's Opinion on Songs
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are one of country music's power couples, but their music is very different. In recent years Hill has incorporated more of a progressive pop/AC element into her songs, while McGraw favors contemporary country-rock productions. But when it comes to choosing songs, McGraw says he still listens to his wife's advice.

Open City Hall | Information from your City Offices | Public Announcements | Meetings/Events this Week | Things Happening Around our Community | Tip of the Month
Everyone always looks forward to a new website - unfortunately though, that means that during the week of August 11, our website will be under construction. The new site will be launched sometime during the following week. Follow us on our Facebook page – City of Sausalito – to keep up on any special events or activities that need to be announced.
Have you been following the open discussion forums? Open topics of discussion on Open City Hall include:
1. "Have your Say" (In this forum we are inviting you to offer suggestions on how to use this new public discussion tool.)
2. "Recycling and Composting" (Did you know that we must meet certain State mandated recycling goals? This forum offers you the opportunity to make suggestions on how we can meet, or better, our current recycling program.)
Click here to participate in one, or all, open discussions. We value, and look forward to, your input.
Project Updates:
Maggiora & Ghilotti Inc. is beginning work on the City's 2013 Streets Project at two locations – Coloma at the entry to MLK Park where the entry will be widened and pavement patched along the Coloma frontage of the Park, and Richardson Street between West and Second. M&G will be making small, investigative excavations ("potholing") on the Richardson portion of their work to identify potential underground utility conflicts in order that PG&E work can be coordinated to minimize the time that traffic will be disrupted when Richardson is reconstructed – that work will likely begin after Labor Day – early September, 2013.
Caledonia Streetlights project – this week the City expects to receive and install for evaluation the demonstrator fixture retrofitted from the originals with LED emitters. The discovery that the pavement section on Caledonia is five inches of asphalt over five inches of Portland cement concrete in most of the area of the rewiring project has resulted in design changes and an increase in estimated project costs. It is anticipated that advertisement for formal bids will take place in the next few weeks with award of a contract coming to Council in early September in order to meet the deadline of replacement lighting by early October.

Greet and meet at the front gate, pour champagne, margaritas or micro-brews, interact with the artists by helping them load-in and load-out, work in the merchandise shop, or try to nab a spot on the coveted Garbage Crew. The festival is also looking for social media sleuths this year – volunteers to capture festival vignettes on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The "Get Involved" volunteer website page lists the many posts available.
In addition to a fun time, volunteers receive free admission to the Festival (the same day they work), a commemorative T-shirt and are invited to attend the annual volunteer appreciation party. The price less part? Getting exclusive, behind-the-scene insights into the making of an art festival and being a part of the team that produces one of the most prestigious art shows in the country.
Most shifts are three-hours long, leaving the balance of the day to play, meet up with friends, savor the art and waterfront venue, catch the headline musicians on stage and check out the special exhibits. Whether volunteering with friends, or meeting new friends, a good time is guaranteed for all.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and over 21 years of age to participate in alcoholic beverage sales. All volunteers will be required to attend a volunteer orientation.
It takes a village to run the Sausalito Art Festival, and every year more than 1,500 dedicated volunteers fuel the three-day festival making it truly a community event. Over 30,000 visitors and art aficionados from around the world attend the festival over the holiday weekend, so every volunteer is an ambassador of sorts ensuring that guests experience Sausalito's signature style of hospitality.
The non-profit Sausalito Art Festival Foundation produces the annual event with proceeds supporting the local arts community in the form of student scholarships, grants to other non-pro?t arts organizations and community service programs such as the recently launched "Artists Teaching Art" in local schools. Through this support, the Festival has made a signi?cant investment in the future of its community, totaling over $500,000 in the past decade.

The University of St. Thomas search for a director of graduate admissions is over and the University welcomes Robert Stephens to lead the new office. Stephens previously worked at the University of Central Florida, where he served as the assistant director of graduate student services for the College of Nursing.
"UST is appealing as a small, private school that is looking to make a name for itself," Stephens said. "I knew during the interview process that UST was the perfect place for my career in higher education to prosper. The deans, staff and administration are very supportive of the new position."
Stephens earned a bachelor's in organizational communication and a Master of Nonprofit Management from University of Central Florida in Orlando, Fla. His background is marked with a dedication and passion for student support in higher education, and his 10-year career has evolved to allow him to serve in several capacities. His experience working in adult online education, registrar's office, graduate and undergraduate student services, advising and records retention has allowed him to work well with multiple departments and give him a broader understanding of the admissions and advising processes.
"We created the Office of Graduate Admissions to assist the Deans and Directors with the pre-admission process," said Vickie Alleman, vice president for Marketing Communications and Enrollment Management. "Robert's expertise in graduate programs has given him the background and expertise to assist us in setting up this procedure."
The Office of Graduate Admissions will centralize some of the functions of the inquiry and application process for graduate programs at UST. The purpose is to bring efficiency to the University admissions processes and provide a quicker turnaround on communications to prospective students, who are often researching several universities before sending in an application.
"My main goal is to develop a uniform graduate admissions process," Stephens said. "I am hopeful that all decisions that are made in my office are efficient with the student's best interest in mind."

The Concord Coalition has launched a new website feature to provide its grassroots members around the country with the latest statistics on the federal budget and the national debt.
"Anyone who has had to work with charts, graphs and presentations has probably experienced the frustration of having different versions in different places, and trying to figure out which ones have been updated with the latest information," says Stefan Byrd-Krueger, new media and outreach director for Concord, in a blog posting Monday. "That's why we created the Indicators section so that all the interactive charts, images, and downloadable data files are updated across the site the minute we get new data."
Concord is providing HTML embed code so that visitors to its website can place the same interactive charts on their own blogs or websites – and have them updated automatically.

Mike Hussey walked off the SCG to a rousing reception as supporters applauded possibly his final Test innings, but it would have been a far less momentous send-off had the batsman stuck to his original plan.
Hussey decided to call it quits months ago but had kept it quiet - and intended to do so until after this match.
He planned to finish the Sydney Test and then announce his retirement to avoid the song and dance of an emotional farewell, such is his unassuming way.
His agent and long-time friend, Neil Maxwell, advised Hussey that his feats with the bat for Australia had been admired by many, who would want the opportunity to show him their appreciation one last time.
"I said to him, 'I don't think you realise how much people respect you for what you've done, I'm sure they'd like the opportunity to say goodbye'," Maxwell said.
So after last week's Boxing Day Test, Hussey dropped his bombshell.
The 52,000 who have attended days one and two of this Test made known their thanks to "Mr Cricket".
If his innings on day two was to be Hussey's final in the Test arena, it was a firm reminder that in sport - and cricket most of all - there are few fairytales.
Australian captain Michael Clarke called Hussey through for the quick single and cursed himself as replays confirmed Hussey's full-length dive wasn't enough to get him into his ground.
Dimuth Karunaratne hit the stumps from short range and Hussey was on his way.
There's still every chance Hussey will bat again in the second innings, but it's possible Mr Cricket has played his last Test knock.
The manner of his dismissal fits well with the previous night of a first.
While it was the third time Hussey had been run out in his career, it was the first when he was chasing a run rather than hastily returning to the crease.
On Thursday evening, Hussey broke a hard-and-fast rule that has carried him through his previous 78 Tests; he went out the night before an innings.
There was some serious cajoling, but eventually Hussey caved to demands that he attend an informal honorary dinner at a city restaurant.
Famed for his focus and meticulous preparation, Hussey's usual pre-batting routine is a night of room service and lights out by 9pm.
So his appearance at the dinner, organised by former Test paceman and close friend Brett Lee, was a relief.
Among the attendees were Ian Healy, Adam Gilchrist, Steve Rixon, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, while Lee presented Hussey with a bottle of Penfolds Grange, vintage 2005 - the year of his Test debut.
Eight years later, Hussey watched nervously from outside the team dressing room after Australia's second wicket fell and he was next in line.
Upon the dismissal of Phil Hughes, Sydney's faithful rose to cheer on the 37-year-old father of four, who charged on to the pitch in the manner of a 20-year-old debutant.
Hussey's 25 runs yesterday left him just eight short of Ricky Ponting's all-time record (975) of most runs by any batsman in all series between Australia and Sri Lanka.
Fittingly, Hussey is playing his final Test at an SCG undergoing significant transformation.
The team will be in a similar state without he and Ponting, left to rebuild with shiny new material.
But as any experienced builder will say, they don't make them like they used to.

Wootalyzer's Pricing Post! - The price of today's woot item is saved here for future reference------------------------------------------------------------Motorola Bluetooth Headphones$24.99 + $5 Standard ShippingCondition: Refurbished*DISCLAIMER* Wootalyzer! is in no way affiliated with Woot!, and this post may not always be here!
Are these as uncomfortable and tinny as they look??
You get what you pay for on this one, some people complained about them being uncomfortable if you wear glasses or have a big head.
For the price it might be worth taking a shot, but don't expect to have great quality for making phone calls. This is more of a headphone set they slapped mic capabilities on.
Read more the last time they were up
stevesds wrote:Are these as uncomfortable and tinny as they look??
They are actually pretty comfortable and my head is quite big (that's what she said). I own a pair of these and have been using them for about a year now and they work ok, specially for a sweaty man like me. These are much better than the older model (S9) as are more water resistant.
Yes....I ended up giving them to my 12yr old for his iPod touch. They fit my wife but no way are they large enough for a normal sized man.
Overall sound is not too bad on them though.
For some reason in the ear headphones never looked as comfortable as over/on the ear.
scrawford66 wrote:Yes....I ended up giving them to my 12yr old for his iPod touch. They fit my wife but no way are they large enough for a normal sized man.

It felt a bit too small at first but, luckily, they are quite flexible and you get used to it. It wraps behind your head tightly. Audio quality is so so... depends a lot on the earbuds that you are using.
If you mean tiny then yes but they are not as uncomfortable as all that. They do take some getting used to but after a few days of wearing them they get very comfortable.
If you meant tinny then they are somewhat tinny but with the proper ear buds they can sound decent.
If you have a small to medium small head then they fit fine, and the sound is actually pretty good. BUT, if yo have a normal American head, or larger as befits us, these will become unbearable in a few short minutes. I got some at Costco, and returned them the same day. The lady at the counter said that their small size was a big complaint, and many of them were returned.
These things are great, this is a good deal.
I bought a pair of these a while back.. here is what I had to say...
People of Woot hear me. ITs time for me to eat a little crow. After complaing about the fit of the ear sets and grumbling about return policy and wut not, I read a few reviews on other sites about these things. Turns out I was wearing them wrong. I was wearing them with the back hanging down my neck, not correct. The loops do not go around the ears, they go Above the ears and protrude forward. Most of the discomfort eliminated. Sound quality great, phone functions awesome.
I am very sorry Woot, please accept my apologies, my dad was right (he is an old as dirt wooter) he said you wouldnt steer me wrong and I am sorry I bashed you.. I hate it whn my dad is righter than me.. anyway, I also want to add that I complained direct to Motorola about the fit and they immediatly offered to exchange them for an over the ear model.. I passed, as the setup seemed the same with the exception of the speaker placement.. again, I eat crow.. Motorola rocked as well...
Here is the permalink to the post..
I think they're of exceptional quality,
I bought one of these the last time they were offered, despite the warnings that they could be painful to wear. My experience with them has been that I can only wear them for an hour or two before they get too uncomfortable to continue using them. The sound from them isn't great, but works well for the purposes for which I purchased them, which was for when I'm taking a walk, cooking, or working out. I haven't noticed too many issues with them falling off or failing due to sweat in a workout. I think they're worth the price, but only as secondary headphones for specific purposes.
Anyone know if these are good for running?
Great price, great sound...but very uncomfortable for me. I had a pair of the S-9's and LOVED them. They fell apart after a few YEARS and I got the s-10's...I had to give them to my sister because the left ear piece would not stay in my ear right and it was soo soo tight. Very poor design.
Own them and they are not too bad. The fit does leave something to be desired and I do not get anywhere near the play time of 8 hours mentioned. Closer to 5-6 at most.
Also the controls were and are pain to use. On second though, I don't like the as much as I did when I first started this message.
I've got a pretty normal sized head for a 6 foot 2 inch tall guy, these were like putting my head in some kind of torture device. I tried multiple ear pieces, and several positions for the loops (above ears etc). They were given to my wife after a fruitless battle trying to make them fit. She likes them just fine.
Why are these type of headphones always earbuds? I simply can't stick something in my ear canal without feeling intense pain after 10 minutes. I can't be the only one. Why can't someone make an affordable set of bluetooth headphones that are not ear buds but also not a headset that covers the entire ear?
Anyone know how thee compare to the Delton X9 over on Tech?
Damn my wife and her setting a woot allowance!
These are awesome in every sense of the word. I've got quite a large noggin and I think they are still very comfortable for extended use. I wear mine while doing all of my outside jobs (washing the cars, mowing my 7 acres, cleaning out the chicken coop, weeding the garden, etc) I had been told that my voice sounded funny during calls, but it was more convenient for me so it was mainly their porblem.
I purchased mine from BB and got the extended warranty and had to return a set after about 6 months due to the volume buttons giving up the ghost, but for $25 you will not go wrong. I may return to purchase a 2nd or 3rd set as backups/gifts. I'm thinking I paid for one set what the 3 would cost from Woot.
I've stopped using these completly. I bought them about 4 months ago here, and at first they weren't that bad, but once the shine wore off I quickly noticed how horrible these were. The sound quality / bluetooth were nice features, but ow!
Motorola bluetooth mouse, then Motorola bluetooth keyboard, now Motorola bluetooth headphones - what's next the Motorola bluetooth vacuum?
Cause you know we haven't seen a vac in a while guys, I'm disappointed...

I bought a pair of these on here in like March, and I have used them quite extensively and in very sweaty environments. Sound quality is great, fit was a bit uncomfortable right above the ears (squeezed a bit) the first 10 hours or so of use they received, but then they stretched out a little and became quite comfortable. I run and lift with them all the time and they have no issue of falling off mid workout.
Reliability could be an issue because mine seem to malfunction occasionally and beep multiple times right after pairing as if I'm pressing multiple buttons. They sometimes call my last dialed number. ALso the buttons randomly do not work.
I think they were a well spent $30. I Just wish they didn't goof up occasionally. I actually bought a second refurbished pair off here july 6th to replace the first pair whenever they finally kick the bucket.

Because I was watching the Three Stooges Movie today, my first thought was this classic scene.
Very uncomfortable!
slickvikd wrote:Anyone know if these are good for running?
I run with them almost daily! Great for running!
I had a pair of these, originally received as a gift. Found the fit to be too tight and uncomfortable in a gym environment (especially running). Also the earbuds became painful after some time, it felt like forceps going straight for my ear canal.
I opted for the Jabra BT620s, much better fit and incredible battery life after all of these years!
scrawford66 wrote: ... no way are they large enough for a normal sized man.
When I was stationed with the Marines, I could fit a medium cover normally, but I would wrench a small on my head (without hurting myself) since I never wanted the wind to take my cover. But, this is how I felt when I first put these headphones on. (0:37 mark since the link isn't completely working.)
They did start fitting better later on, but it really sucked at first. I couldn't have them on my head longer than a few minutes at best. Now I can go maybe half an hour before my head starts hurting. I did expect them to be sizable like a normal set of headphones, but I guess I was mistaken.
The sound quality is fine. The buttons do take a bit to get used to and I wish they had a docking station (even if separate) since I hate looking for the cord.
All-in-all, these aren't bad per se and they are $10 cheaper than what I paid for mine.
I bought a pair of these Friday. I like them, but they're a little small for my head. And they sort of hurt my ears, but my ears are weirdly shaped. Tempted to buy a pair here and return the pair I receive to the place I paid more for them...
Yes they are sir. I can't stand wearing them. and the little clear bud's fall off when you move the headphones around.
I strongly dislike this product. also came to be with the left Channel dead. to be fair woot replaced it ASAP.
I thought they were supposed to rest on the back of my head. Trying to accomplish this pulled on the tops of my ears and was uncomfortable. I tried just letting it rest where it wanted to go and it stopped pulling on the top of my ears and the back of it doesn't make contact with my head. This is NOT for use while doing any sort of rigorous physical activity. The bass is lacking, unless you bury it in your ears and remain still, and the buttons are difficult to differentiate by touch. But, for $25 it's an OK deal, not great.
I bought these a while back, got the red pair but wanted the white pair.
Some facts about me:
I am a same sapien
I wear glasses
I have a 7 1/2 hat size
I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile
I use these almost exclusively to workout/run (on a treadmill)
Some say they are painful, specifically for eyeglass wearers. I wore these for a while the first day I got them and they were extremely painful. This quickly faded as either they stretched or I learned to wear them (in conjunction with picking the right set of ear pieces).
I currently use the largest pair in the package because I feel they give me a good fit and isolate outside noise the best out of the 3 of them. (There are 4, but the pair on the headphones is duplicated in the spares.)
They are no longer uncomfortable to wear, but I wouldn't say anything exceptional about how comfortable they are. I wear them running and they manage to stay put pretty well with a little bounce in them.
The sound is mediocre. My main pair of 'phones is a set of Shure earbuds. These Motorolas were more than half as cheap as them. The Shures were the cheapest item that they sold at the time and sound great.
I have no problems using the buttons, but pressing them is a task because it pushes my frames into my face, and that brings some pain. I'm really only ever using the forward skip button.
Bottom line, this is a great priced pair and a quality build but one of those cases where the cost to benefit ratio is swayed significantly by the low price.
I bought these the last time they showed up on woot.
- The fit was better than I expected and I find them comfortable.
- Had to fiddle with the pads a bit, but I found a set that fit my ears correctly, and they fit well
- Wireless headphones are super convenient
- I rode with them running through a ~30 minute downpour, and they had no issues with the rain.
- I just toss them in my cycling bag when I'm done, and they seem to be flexible enough not to take any damage.
The Bad:
- I'm not terribly impressed with the sound quality, it just isn't that good. It is sufficient for motivational music when I'm working out, but that's about it.
- It did take a few rides before I got them to fit right
The okay:
- I wear then when I ride my bike and the battery lasts 2-3 ~1.5 hour riding sessions.
- I have an android phone running ics, and the music control buttons on the right side don't work with all apps.
Maybe it is just me, but I find the idea of refurbished EARBUDS quite GROSS and UNSANITARY! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!
ActorTom wrote:Maybe it is just me, but I find the idea of refurbished EARBUDS quite GROSS and UNSANITARY! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!
The idea of refurbished is to take an item that works and make it like new again, which often includes replacing worn parts like screens or cases or cables and giving you new ones. The earbuds are new. (And I suspect so is the plastic exterior)
Picked these up last time, I have a large noggin and I find them very comfortable. I use them every day biking to work. When I wear them correctly, there is too much wind resistance reducing sound quality (only when bikibg). I just wear them "upside down" and they sound great, highly recommend.
These were selling on Woot in early July. I purchased two of them. I usually walk 5 miles every day and used one set during such a walk. I found the headphone too heavy as it wraps around your head, and lies on your neck. After walking around for 2 hours, this gets tiring. If you're lying down, or sitting reading the paper, it's OK, but for walking or running, wearing these headphones are terrible. #fail
Easy connection to Vizio TV and PC. Could be louder.
If you care about sound quality for music at all, don't get these.
I'm used to crystal clear sound coming from $100 ear buds.
I understand it's because of the Bluetooth, but for $25, I can't complain that much. They're perfect when I mow the lawn or go running.
bought my first pair for $80 new... theme song:: got no strings on me.. bought three more sets the last time they came up on woot... You every tried to split logs, chop wood, etc with stupid little strings hanging down from your ears? the one time I had a problem with the first ones, phone call, replacement sent out... but they don't come in blue, just the red and white... well, you can't have everything...

Law School Alumnus Recognized as "STAR PRACTITIONER"
DETROIT (July 24, 2007) – Wayne State University Law School alumnus and current member of the Wayne State University Law School Board of Visitors Lawrence D. McLaughlin was recently recognized as a "Star Practitioner" in Chambers USA, America's Leading Lawyers for Business 2007 by Chambers and Partners, theLondon, England-based publisher of Commercial Lawyer magazine.
"Wayne State University Law School is proud to call Lawrence McLaughlin an alumnus," said Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "Lawrence is an outstanding leader and visionary both in the legal community and at the Law School. As a member of our Board of Visitors, he continues to strengthen our mission through his leadership and unwavering commitment to providing students with the best legal education possible."
A member of the Detroit-based business law firm Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP (Honigman), McLaughlin was one of five partners recognized with this prestigious honor. Chambers and Partners interviews selected attorneys and business people to obtain a consistent market view of which law firms and lawyers are considered leaders in specific areas of legal practice. Chambers defines the Star category as "the first names that roll off everyone's lips, the standard by which others are judged; the Star category is reserved for those individuals whose profile is far ahead of the pack."
McLaughlin, a Honigman board member, partner and chair of the Real Estate Department, earned his J.D. from Wayne State University Law School magna cum laude in 1977 and his bachelor's degree from Kettering University in 1974. He currently resides in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Founded in 1927 as Detroit City Law School, Wayne State University Law School is the only public law school in the Detroit metropolitan area. The Law School is accredited by the ABA and is a member of AALS; has five live-client clinics; the Arthur Neef Law Library with a collection of over 620,000 volumes in a variety of formats; and a state-of-the-art building with lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, and offices for student groups.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a 25-yard curling effort by Robert Pires in 2003.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Pires v Liverpool (A) 10-04-2003
The question of aesthetics versus importance has come up a number of times in our countdown and the debate over which makes a goal truly great will But this strike from Robert Pires sticks in the memory for both.
When Arsenal visited Anfield in October 2003, it was on the back of a poor string of results. After starting that season with four-straight wins, the Gunners slipped to just one win in five. To top that off, they started poorly at Liverpool, falling behind to a Harry Kewell strike. Many were already beginning to raise questions about the Gunners' title credentials.
But a bit of luck and plenty of quality was about to come Arsenal's way – exactly what you need to win the League. While Sami Hyypia's own goal gave the visitors a rather undeserved equalizer, Pires' second-half strike was worthy of winning any game.
The Frenchman had drifted in and out of the game, and in fact it he had been suffering through a slow patch all season. But that all changed when he collected Jeremie Aliadiere's short pass 25 yards from goal.
Pires sprinted in from the left before firing an exquisite right-footed curler into the top corner.
His celebration underlined how much the goal meant to him. He was back – and so were Arsenal. Six months later they would be crowned champions.
And this was a big step in the right direction.

ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks, said that, while there have been improvements, some issues of concern remain, for example the Law on Churches and Religious Communities and courts' practice relating to racist crime.
The Serbian authorities have adopted a law against discrimination and created a Commissioner for the Protection of Equality entrusted with monitoring compliance therewith. A Strategy for the Improvement of the Status of Roma, which includes measures in the areas of education, employment, displaced persons, personal documents, social insurance and social care, as well as healthcare, was adopted in 2009. The Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, established in 2008, is in charge of coordinating and monitoring the 13-step action plan established under the Strategy, as well as the application of the law against discrimination.
The Law on Churches and Religious Communities continues to discriminate between "traditional" and non-traditional churches and religious communities. Moreover, previously recognised minority religious communities have to re-register in what has been described as an invasive and burdensome procedure. The practice of courts regarding racist crime is problematic as there are few prosecutions and the sentences meted out are usually low, mainly consisting in very small fines.
Roma continue to face high unemployment levels, discrimination in education and sub-standard living conditions. There have been evictions without prior consultation in and around Belgrade. The health situation of many Roma remains worrying and many of them lack identity papers. Very few measures have been taken to provide employment in the Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveda region where the majority of ethnic Albanians live; more than 70% of economically active people are unemployed there.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited in two years' time:
The report is available here. It was prepared following ECRI's contact visit to Serbia in October 2010 [Press Release – 25.10.2010] and takes account of developments up to December 2010.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

Fergie's Style
It was still snowing at our Millbrook, New York, weekend farmhouse when my wife, Anne, and I and our son, Harry, left for Newark airport to catch the direct flight to Honolulu on Continental. We knew Oahu risked being tourist-trappy, but we wanted a beach vacation with more than just beach, hotel, beach, hotel—that was also easy to get to. Plus, Anne and Harry needed surfing lessons (I grew up surfing in Southern California). The aloha spirit did not disappoint! The city turned out to be a smorgasbord of culture, art, nature, insane fun, and good food. And you barely have to get out of your jams to enjoy it.
As Vera Wang president, staying in the suite she designed at the Halekulani Hotel was the only option for me! At 2,135 square feet, with nonstop views from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head, it was ludicrous but lovely luxe. I shouldn't even mention the moonlit nights from the lanai (Hawaiian for "balcony").... Mark Miyashiro, director of guest experiences, hooked us up everywhere we went ( halekulani.com, 808-923-2311).

Inspiration | Talika, a large range of eye care, face care and body care treatments
Light Therapy
All the benefits of light in a dual technology: Photo Light Therapy and Beauty Therapy. The two pioneering innovations and exclusive signed Talika.
For several years, Talika explores the secrets and virtues of the light from the discoveries made by NASA in the 1970s.
In 2008, the first light reveals a secret: each wavelength of light has a specific treatment under the skin. Thanks to this technological breakthrough, Talika launches first cosmetic revolution and gave birth to the Light Therapy.
Talika and this revolutionary technology makes it accessible to the general public through mobile devices LED: the Lights.
- Light 590 ®, stimulating the synthesis of collagen: 32% of wrinkles in 28 days.
- Light 525 ®, boost brightness: 46% of stains in 28 days.
- Light DUO ®, a combination of LIGHT and LIGHT 590 ® 525 ® with anti-aging, anti-stain and source brightness time.
The success was immediate and resounding among both professionals and consumers.
But the brand, a pioneer in this exploratory Odyssey believes that the light has not revealed all its secrets and launches its laboratories on a large research project around this new approach to care: the PHOTOBEAUTY THERAPY.
2010 marks a new and decisive discovery: the light energy can be converted into energy carefully.
By studying this fascinating question, Talika is inspired by the work done by a doctor "children of the moon", whose DNA is destroyed as a result of UV and isolated for the first time an enzyme present in a blue micro-algae, miracle of nature: Photo-Beauty ® Enzyme (the PBE). Once activated by light, this asset has the amazing ability to naturally transform the energy of light in skin-restorative energy and begin the process of repairing damaged DNA skin.
The DNA of skin cells is valuable, it is the genetic code for the correct operation of the skin. He orders the cells, for example, produce collagen, elastin and regulates the production of melanin. But with time and daily exposure to sunlight, it deteriorates. "Holes", dimers, preventing appear to function normally and accelerating the onset of signs of aging: wrinkles, spots ...
However, the photo-Beauty Enzyme ® has proven its ability to instantly begin the process of repairing the damage. Activated by natural light energy (day) and artificial (night) it converts dermo-healing energy, it allows the DNA to regain its original shape and functional abilities: the skin regains optimal operation.
With this biological discovery, Talika launch in 2014 a second revolution cosmetics and give birth to the first topical treatment Anti-Aging and Radiance from the Photo-Beauty Therapy.
Talika has always been dedicated to beautify each woman through cosmetics with natural ingredients.
Issues of Indian, African and Asian vegetable crops, Mukul, bark Ngalama oil, Marula, the Horse Chestnut, Mangosteen are all precious plants in the heart of the formulation process Talika.
The brand is constantly seeking to expand research in biology and botany to innovate around ever more efficient products, ethical and adapted to the specificities of all skin types.
Ayruvedic medicine
India, the second source of inspiration for Talika.
From beauty rituals from the Ayurvedic medicine, Talika has developed the first care volumizing and firming bust breasts, Bust Phytoserum.
Unique treatment on the market, carefully developed from Mukul, natural fat binder in the deepest layers of the epidermis, Bust Phytoserum goes further in cosmetic breakthrough for the beauty of the chest.
Alexis de Brosses tells us more about Ayurvedic medicine:
What is Ayurvedic Medicine?
"Ayurveda Veda means knowledge of life. This is a very old Indian medicine inspired by the Hindu scriptures.
It provides techniques for comprehensive care and beauty plus a spiritual purpose. "
In your opinion, what are its beneficial contributions to cosmetics?
"Ayurveda is inspired by nature and harmony for us to pass through treatments and rituals of life.
The beauty of our skin, our body is naturally magnified by the secrets of natural balance that help rejuvenate our body, calm the mind and nourish the soul. "
How does this advance was majeure Talika?
Talika for harmony is the secret of all beauty. Ayurveda, with its millennial knowledge of plants and his philosophy of life comes naturally join the spirit of Talika is to provide women and men the greatest gifts that Nature has in store.
During travel, the transmission of ancient knowledge, beauty rituals, whether traditional Chinese medicine in Indian Ayurvedic massage is essential for the creator of Talika.
Always looking for new cosmetic concepts, ancestral knowledge from around the world, Alexis de Brosses, travels the world to meet the wise experts welfare. In the course of their trade, there is valuable advice, armed with a century old tradition, which he will add his creative genius to develop the best cosmetics.
With this bias, Alexis says: "It all started when one of my trips to China A doctor I met made me share the virtues of traditional Chinese medicine, which is one of the precepts. "the eye is the mirror of the liver."
I then undertook a true reflection on the link between toxins, dark circles and puffiness. A basic agreement between detoxification and a clear and young smoothed gaze. This discovery led me to develop eye care
softer and more respectful for this so sensitive area. "

The Standardbred Breed Development program was established to promote the Indiana Standardbred industry. In 2007, legislation was passed which approved slot machines at Indiana's pari-mutuel racetracks. Hoosier Park and Indiana Downs both opened their slot operations in June of 2008. The Indiana Standardbred Breed Development Fund receives 50% of the revenue generated from slot machines that is allocated for Standardbred Racing.
The purpose of the Standardbred Breed Development Program is to provide incentives to the owners and breeders of Indiana Sired (IS), Indiana Bred (IB), and Indiana Sired & Bred (ISB) horses. These incentives are provided through racing programs at Indiana's two pari-mutuel racetracks, county fairs and state fair. Additional incentives are provided directly to owners and breeders through owner bonuses and breeders awards. The intent of this program is to stimulate the agri-business sector of the State's economy while encouraging the breeding of quality standardbred horses. The Standardbred Breed Development Program has been modified for the 2009 breeding season and beyond to provide the owner/breeder with a program with three (3) levels of participation.
The Standardbred Breed Development Advisory Committee is appointed by the Governor to advise the Indiana Horse Racing Commission in the distribution of these monies. This Advisory Committee works closely with Hoosier Park, the Indiana Standardbred Association, Indiana Standardbred Advisory Board, and other horsemen organizations to develop the Standardbred Breed Development Program. This program has become an invaluable tool in developing and maintaining the fast growing high quality Standardbred industry in the State of Indiana.

Superbad [DVD] [Canadian; Unrated; Extended Edition]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Produced by Judd Apatow and co-written by Seth Rogen--both of 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP fame--SUPERBAD is the story of two horny teenage geeks looking to lose their virginity before college. Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are hoping to end high school on a high note, and when one of their crushes (Emma Hill) invites them to a graduation party, the boys are ecstatic. That is, until they become responsible for supplying the party with alcohol. They hurriedly concoct a scheme to use their friend Fogell's (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) horrendously fake ID, but trouble soon arises when Fogell becomes the victim of a liquor store robbery. The cops (Rogen and Bill Hader) show up, and the evening quickly disintegrates into a hilarious mess of misunderstandings, crackhead sing-alongs, and beer mixed with laundry detergent.
Hill is a riot as the wild-haired and foul-mouthed Seth, and Mintz-Plasse is great fun as the uber-geek Fogell. But Michael Cera (formerly of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) steals the show as the sensitive and levelheaded Evan. His oddball line delivery and excellent comic timing make for some of the most bizarre but best moments of the film. The sexual humor can be pretty graphic at times, which is no doubt what earned the movie its R rating. Yet, despite gross-out jokes involving menstrual blood and penis drawings, SUPERBAD somehow manages to fly far above frat-boy, AMERICAN PIE-style humor. This is partly due to the comedic skill of the actors, but also because the characters--silly and absurd though they can be--are so well-written. Watching these bungling outcasts is a vivid reminder of the horrific lows and supreme highs of high school life, and their antics rather poignantly capture how age 18 can indeed be super bad, but also super good.

Critic Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] rapid-fire gag machine....SUPERBAD is a relentless rib-assault that sure-footedly blends gross-outs, flashbacks, fantasy asides and a full quiver of zingers."
Total Film
"Apatow directs with an adult understanding of and affection for teen hormonal rhythms....SUPERBAD is cute if you like guys who aren't even remotely bad..." -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly
"Wide-eyed and sincere as it is hilariously, unrepentantly profane, the movie aims to express what it's like to stare down the barrel of your first foray into adulthood, and it's not afraid to be honest about it."
Los Angeles Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "SUPERBAD is superfun across the board....It helps that the fun doesn't stop. It helps even more that the pitch-perfect script doesn't step out of character for a joke."
Rolling Stone
"It's funny, but there's something meaningful going on....[The film] has at its core a certain verisimilitude that is endearing -- even sweet."
Box Office
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A]bsurdly comic. Gross-out humor abounds....Side-splitting laughter, along with some powerful cringing, are likely to be audiences' dominant reactions."
USA Today
4 stars out of 5 -- "Think of this best as a younger sibling to KNOCKED UP....The characters are just as well-drawn and the situations as oddly relatable."
"[S]weetly absurd....[The] setups and camerawork serve the characters unobtrusively, as do the homey production design and costumes."
New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- "Think AMERICAN GRAFFITI meets AMERICAN PIE at the crossroads where John Hughes meets John Landis....It's embarrassingly funny..."
"[A] raucous party movie....The picture is dominated by three plucky young actors."
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] very crass but perfectly judged comedy with a heart of gold, and the leading triumvirate of Cera, Hill and Mintz-Plasse are absolutely priceless."

Cancer spreads from organ to organ when cells break free from one site and travel to another. Understanding this process, known as metastasis, is critical for developing ways to prevent the spread and growth of cancer cells. Peter Searson, Reynolds Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering and director of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology, led a team of engineers who have developed a method to specifically measure detachment in individual cells.
The method, which uses lab-on-a-chip technology, allows researchers to observe and record the exact point when a cell responds to electrochemical cues in its environment and releases from the surface upon which it is growing. Better knowledge of the biochemistry of cell detachment could point the way to better cancer therapies. In this "Great Ideas" podcast, Elizabeth Tracey, communications associate for the School of Medicine, interviews Searson about this current research.
"…We know that processes like cell detachment are important in cancer metastasis, where cells become detached from tumors…" Peter Searson

Media Matters' suggestion for NY Times columnist Tierney: Read your own paper
In an April 26 column [1] comparing Chile's retirement program favorably with Social Security, New York Times columnist John Tierney used the example of an economist friend in Chile to argue that that country's pension system -- which includes private accounts -- provides a better return on contributions than Social Security. Tierney offered the caveat that "Chileans may someday long for a system like Social Security if the stock market crashes and takes their pensions down with it," but said, "The relative risks of the Chilean and American systems are a question for another column."
One would think that "the relative risks of the Chilean and American systems" would be precisely the type of topic to examine in a column about the Chilean and U.S. systems. Nonetheless, we eagerly await that follow-up column from Tierney in which he addresses the risks of the two systems. As Tierney prepares to write it, we hope he'll take a bit of advice: Read your own paper.
As the Times reported [2] on August 16, 1998, pensioners did in fact see their benefits fall during a major downturn in the Chilean economy:
In 12 months, Chile's stock market has lost more than 25 percent in dollar terms, largely in response to faltering exports to Asia and falling copper prices tied to Japan's economic slowdown. ... Although supporters of the Chilean pension system point out that the diversified portfolios in Chile's retirement accounts have eased the losses, pensioners and workers are lining up in the offices of pension management companies with questions fraught with doubt. Simply put, privatization has proven no panacea for the insecurities people feel when thinking about retirement.
Moreover, according to a Times article [3] from January 27, only half of the Chilean labor force actually participates in the privatized system:
For all the program's success in economic terms, the government continues to direct billions of dollars to a safety net for those whose contributions were not large enough to ensure even a minimum pension approaching $140 a month. Many others -- because they earned much of their income in the underground economy, are self-employed, or work only seasonally -- remain outside the system altogether. Combined, those groups constitute roughly half the Chilean labor force. Only half of workers are captured by the system.
That Times article also suggests that even Chileans who do contribute to the pension system are unlikely to receive benefits as great as they would have under the previous system:
"What we have is a system that is good for Chile but bad for most Chileans," said a government official who specializes in pension issues and who spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing retaliation from corporate interests. "If people really had freedom of choice, 90 percent of them would opt to go back to the old system."
For those remaining in the government's original pay-as-you-go system, the maximum retirement benefit is now about $1,250 a month. The National Center for Alternative Development Studies, a research institute here, calculates that to get that same amount from a private pension fund, workers would have to contribute more than $250,000 over their careers, a target that has been reached by fewer than 500 of the private system's 7 million past and present contributors.
This leaves many Chileans in a situation that has led to the coining of a phrase: "pension damage." There is now even an Association of People With Pension Damage, 157,000 members and growing, that consists of Chileans, mostly former government employees, who find that their pensions, based on contributions to the private system, are significantly less than if they had remained in the old system.
