A rather interesting and thought provoking case has appeared before the Court of Appeal recently in which the question of whether a husband, with sole ownership of a limited company, was entitled to properties held by his company and therefore whether those properties formed part of the "matrimonial assets."
The details of the case are perfectly summarised in the below article but it is the decision of the Court of Appeal that has provoked discussion and divided opinion. It must be noted however that the decision of the Court of Appeal may yet be moot as the wife has been granted permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Last month, the Court of Appeal delivered it's controversial judgment in the case of Petrodel Resources Ltd & Ors v Prest & Ors. The decision of the Court of Appeal means that in financial proceedings arising out of divorce, the starting point is that family court judges may not make orders against company-held property. The practical effect of the decision is that if a spouse ties up their assets within the structure of a legitimate limited company, they may avoid their financial obligations on divorce.

This is a great price for an effective every day polish remover. I find it gets my polish off and helps with colours that usually stain the nails. The large bottle lasts me a long time. It has a usual strong odour but I find it mellows out quicker than some of the other brands I've used.
This is really way cheaper than all of the other nail polish removers and has the same ingredients and works just as well as all the others, if not better. I have always been able to remove all my nailpolish with this remover and even gel nails. If you soak them long enough. This is a great product and it really does work just as well as its competitors. Highly recommended by me.
Not the greatest nail polish remover I've used. Takes very long for it to remove the nail polish off- usually have to let it soak for 2-3 minutes before it comes off easily.
I was looking for an inexpensive nail polish remover that actually works. This product works like a charm. You don't need to go over the same spot over and over and over like you do with some of the cheaper removers.
This nail polish remover is strong enough to remove the toughest of nail polish but causes no damage to the surrounding skin. The odor is not too bad and it has a strengthening formula with vitamin E.
I found I had to use a lot of cotton pads to remove the nail polish and in doing so the polish was smeared all over my fingers. What a mess. Sorry this product is a fail for me.
There is really nothing bad to say about this product. It works wonderfully fast and effectively, and it costs next to nothing. You don't need to use much of it to get your nailpolish off, even with dark colours. I wish it was a little bit more effective on glitter polishes, but glitter is hard to get off no matter what. And I wish the smell was better, but I understand that's because it's all chemicals.
I'm not happy with this product it didn't work well at all such a disappointment, had to use over and over just to get all my nail polish off,such a hassle
Great quality nail polish remover works well and takes your nail polish off with ease. It also doesn't smell too bad either compared to other brands.
I find this doesn't work well on my nails - it takes a lot of scrubbing to get regular nail polish off (I use 2-3 layers of polish) and even more with glittery nail polish.
I shouldn't have to put this much effort into changing nail polish colours.

Kansas Dental Project (3 of 3)
Right now, 93 Kansas counties no longer have enough dentists to serve their residents. Thirteen of those counties have no dentist at all. Without access to a dentist, hundreds of thousands of Kansans are going without dental services, which affects their ability to work and go to school. It also affects their overall health because dental health isn't just about teeth. Dental problems, when left untreated, can lead to serious medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Produced by the Kansas Dental Project.

Today's post is by Mark Coker, off of the Publishers Weekly website, on November 20, 2015. He discuses how self publishing authors can use preorders to boost their rankings and be a part of a good marketing plan.
~ * ~
Imagine you could press a magic button that would make your next book launch more successful. The magic button is the e-book preorder, which gives indie authors a sales and marketing advantage.
Over the last 12 months, nearly two-thirds of the top 200 bestsellers distributed by Smashwords originated as preorders. This statistic is all the more impressive when you consider that only one in eight books published at Smashwords during this period was listed as a preorder.
A preorder is an advance listing of your e-book at major retailers that allows your reader to reserve a copy of your book up to 12 months before the release date. When the book is officially released, the customer's credit card is charged and the book appears in her device's library.
Although preorders are standard practice for traditional publishers, most self-published authors don't yet know how to take advantage of them. Let's fix that problem right now.
Five Big Benefits of E-book Preorders
1. More effective advance marketing of your book: Most authors use Facebook and other social media to communicate with readers about works in progress. By providing a preorder link every time you share news about your upcoming releases, you can capture readers' orders when you have their greatest interest and attention.

They are all profile pic worthy, but the current profile pic is off-the-charts good, so I don't think they are a step up from what you have. That doesn't make them 'bad' by any means, just that when something is really good, it becomes more difficult to top it. They would work for a change of pace or something, if you were tired of looking at your current one. I swap mine around from time to time just out of boredom.11|00|0

Well it's a really well done photo. The colour is nice and warm, it really brings out your best features. Your eyes look amazing. You have a great half smile which makes you look pleasant without looking like you're trying too hard. They way you are looking off camera adds visual interest, as it makes the viewer wonder what you're looking at. It's just really nice to look at.

text: I have the leather shifter boot on my 1986 5000cstq attached with big paper clips. The plastic clips on the shifter boot frame had broken so I used epoxy to attach large paper clips in the same locations. The paper clips fit into the slots in the center console that the previous plastic clips used to engage. I spread the inner and outer hoops of the paper clips in opposite directions (scissor like) to provide retention force. As I recall, with the right amount of bending, the inner and outer loops act in a spring fashion, so I could hold them "closed" to get each started in a slot and then it would open up as the paper-clip-tab was pushed deeper into the slot. The paper clips are relatively long so, using the tight sequence of installation, this allowed me to start the clips and then get my fingers out of the way so I could finish push the boot down into place. Also, I seem to recall having the side panel off of the center console once and I could reach one or more of the clips to give it a little extra bend for increased retention force. This arrangement has worked for 6 years and had been removed and reinstalled several times. Whatever works - baling wire, kite string, duct tape...

To Self-publish or Not, and What You're Getting Yourself Into
First, as I mentioned in a previous post long ago, let me say that I have never been traditionally published. I am not opposed to it, but would need to have the right publisher and publishing contract. A small publisher was interested in publishing one of my novels some time back, but I politely turned her down simply due to the cost-benefit potential; what she had to offer me as a small publisher versus what percentages she would take as compensation. Since I'd already self-published and completed most of the work she was offering to do as part of her costs, and she had little to offer beyond marketing in local book stores and fairs, I couldn't justify it in my mind. She was pleasant and a great person to talk to, and for some would have worked wonders with their books, but I'd already done so much legwork and wanted my books available online for ereaders, so our interests didn't really connect. However, let me repeat that this offer came after I'd independently published A Life of Death, the book she was interested in. (Update: The A Life of Death collection was picked up by Books of the Dead Press in early 2013 and is no longer self-published.)
This brings me to the follow-up questions that are often asked: How do you go about publishing independently, and does that end your ability of going with a traditional publisher later?
I have heard nothing but good things about authors that go independent while still trying to get traditionally published. The old belief that the submission must never have been published seems to no longer apply. Publishers even search out the independent authors now, offering the most successful ones publishing deals like Amanda Hocking, Scott Nicholson, and others you may have heard of. And they have to offer them a lot of money normally or high percentages, or both, since the sales from successful independent authors garner the author 75% of sales cost normally. Most independent authors are unwilling to take a drop to 6-25% of profits without large sums of money upfront. Those percentages of profits are the equivalent of 2-6% of the total sale per book, so you can see why they would be hesitant when the drop from 75% is so significant. However many independent authors continue to shop for traditional publication, and being able to show good reviews and a developing fan base should improve your likelihood of getting a publisher or agent, assuming you still want one by then.
To begin, you have to get a good cover made that will catch a reader's eye and have your book edited and formatted for ebook and print. I offer editing services through WAKE Editing, but also recommend Katy Sozaeva for thorough and affordable proofreads. However the marketing of your book also falls to you. You have to find the best way to market your book using the online media and social resources available. It can be done. Amanda Hocking, Scott Nicholson, Joe Konrath, Scott Rhine, and many other authors are finding their place in independent publishing and finding success. Even Rowling took her Harry Potter books and went independent once their contracts were up with the publishers. However, whether it is right for you is a different question. It takes work because you are acting as your own publisher, buying your own ISBNs, finalizing your work so it is the equivalent of traditionally published books including finding a professional editor and cover artist, and contacting book reviewers to get honest reviews and do interviews.
The alternative is waiting for years to get published, more than likely only to wind up exactly where you are now, but with lots of rejection emails and letters. Some authors get picked up and published traditionally, but you statistically have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting published by one of the big 6 publishers. That is why so many authors turn to independent publishing now and why publishers are now more inclined to look at independents than to sift through their slush piles. They know that at least the independents are willing to work in their novel's best interest and can see how the reading public is responding to the book. It helps them to decide if they'd like to approach the author or wait and see which authors with agents approach them, at least that's my understanding.
The Process:
The one thing I'd advise anyone considering branching into independent publishing of their own books is to make sure your book was copy edited based on the Chicago Manual of Style rules. That is the bible of fiction writers and the standard all fiction editors use. Then, you need a cover. I have used three cover artists in the past, all of which I would recommend as being affordable and creating very good covers. My first novel's cover, Invisible Dawn, was created by Bradley Wind. The cover for A Life of Death and Strange Circumstances was created by Renee at The Cover Counts, and for my most recent release, the cover to the sequel to A Life of Death entitled The Golden Bulls, was created by Simon Critchell at SandS Creative. I highly recommend any of these, but there are others that are also reasonably priced with good results.
The next step is deciding whether you want it in print or just ebook. Then having someone format it appropriately for those two things or just ebook etc. Most of the books I sell are ebooks. You can do the formatting yourself, but it does have a learning curve. Or you can pay a professional editor to format it for you. Then decide where you are going to publish it. I recommend CreateSpace for print on demand. They will also get your book out to Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com for people to buy in print. Lulu also does this, but their manufacturing costs for the book tend to be higher for the same product, meaning you have to put more money in upfront and sell the books for above-average costs.
For ebook, you can use Smashwords to take your formatted copy and convert it to all of the different formats. There's also Calibre if you'd prefer to do it yourself. However, either way, I'd recommend downloading Sigil, another free software, to go through and check for errors and fix the table of contents file and other things. Then you can re-upload the fixed file to Smashwords if you want to use their service to distribute to every ebook market like Apple, Sony, Kobo, and the rest. However, they do so for a small percentage of your sales. The one they can't send yours to is Amazon.com. They've tried, but Amazon has 90% of the ereader market and hasn't been willing to work out a deal. I guess Amazon would rather you use their conversion service at KDP and sell directly on Amazon. It is free, so easy to do with the same finalized file. That will then make your books available in every format through every major online ebook distributor.
However, you then have another decision to make. Amazon offers the Prime option. For authors, this is called the KDP Select enrollment option and places your book into their lending library. You are paid a percentage of the funds allocated for that month, normally around $600,000.00, based on how many times your book was downloaded in the lending library compared to all the downloads from that month. This tends to be about the same price you'd get in sales off a $2.99 book for each download. In addition, Prime gives you the ability to do five days worth of giveaways in every ninety-day period, which is how long the contract you agree to lasts. If you don't opt out, you will start the next ninety days under contract, with an additional five days of giveaways for each book you have in KDP Select. While KDP Select is free and gives you a great way to get your book into the hands of 90% of the ereading public to help boost sales, but there is a catch. Being in KDP Select requires that Amazon is the sole distributor of your ebook - not print, just ebook. That means that you cannot distribute your book through Smashwords or any other ebook retailer so long as you are under a KDP Select contract for that particular book. Since all of those other retailers only amount to about 10% of the ereading populace, this is a bit of a quandary - cater to all, but reduce your ability to get the word out to 90% of readers as a new and upcoming author, or accept KDP Select's proprietary distribution limitations through Amazon and gain that giveaway and lending library ability. The decision is yours. (On a side note, these percentages are based on the last time I checked, which was close to a year ago. They may have changed somewhat, but can't have adjusted drastically. From what I understand, with the growing sales of iPads being used as ereaders, Amazon may hold less than 90% by this point, but they still hold a very large majority.)
Once you've uploaded it, download a copy for yourself from the KDP preview and/or Smashwords. You can read these through Adobe Digital Editions for epub and the Kindle previewer for computers. Skim through the file to ensure that there aren't any problems with how it's being viewed on the ereaders. If there are problems, you can upload a new file once you've addressed the issue and saved it. Then preview it again to be sure everything looks good.
Once it is finished, it will take Smashwords some time to get your book to all the distributors, two to three weeks normally once you've met their catalog requirements and have no errors in the file. Amazon will get your ebook up and available on their site fairly quickly, normally within 24-48 hours. However, I highly recommend that once it's up you double check everything, making sure your Summary appears correctly and without typos or errors, that it is priced accurately, etc.
While your book is then up and ready to be sold, that's when the real work begins. You have to research book reviewers like Coral at Alchemy of Scrawl, David at An Eclectic Bookshelf, and Christi at Alaskan Book Cafe. There are so many great book bloggers out there that I can't name them all here, but they are great people. Get to know them. Also get in touch with actual readers and do interviews and giveaways. You need to get your book into people's hands so that they can judge for themselves and give it honest reviews. This can be done using the Kindleboards, which is just a great place where kindle readers often go looking for giveaways and good books to read. There are also other book sites and book bloggers that have followings. The people that follow them rely on them like professional movie critics. Book Reviewers and Bloggers are the literary critics of today, and I have never found one to be anything but pleasant and agreeable. Often, their success is dependent on getting wonderful upcoming authors to do interviews in addition to giving reliable reviews for their followers. Amazon, Goodreads, Shelfari, and other sites allow readers and bloggers to say what they thought of a book. It's great, so get your books into their systems as quickly as possible. They all have slightly different processes for adding books, so familiarize yourself with them. Used to, you would buy a book you saw someone else reading or that a friend recommended. Now, reviews act as an extension of that word-of-mouth recommendation. Reviews can make or break you, which is why you need to have the best product out that you can create and let it speak for itself. When contacting Book Bloggers or corresponding with readers, never ask for a review only if they like it. That's unethical and just bad practice. Have confidence in your book, the thing you put so much time and effort into creating and refining. Let it speak for itself once it's in the reader's hands. If you've done your job, that's all you can ask for. The rest is up to the reader.
There are also other marketing avenues you can take, such as pay-per-click through Facebook and other major advertising methods, but due to their cost, I have had limited experience with them. I am sure they can help you build your Facebook site or website, but beyond that, I don't know how much they actually affect your sales or if the cost would be worth it. The results will probably differ for each person. That goes for just about every kind of marketing though. A pretty recent article I read regarding marketing can be found here by Jonathan Gunson. It might be beneficial. There are plenty of others out there though. Marketing is an artform in itself. I've tried different things over time. Some that I currently find helpful are Facebook, Twitter, Hootsuite, Book-Buzzr, Google Plus, and others. These sites help you connect with readers for free. I've also used Authonomy to connect with other authors and even Wattpad. They tend to serve different audiences and purposes, but are helpful to new authors if you use them to connect with other authors and get honest peer review. The big step after that is simple, yet very hard - honestly consider the advice. If a few people are saying the same or similar things, you really should take it to heart so that you can improve your writing. Never consider your growth as a writer to be complete. You always have more to learn. Some of these marketing and social media sites have worked better than others, but that doesn't mean they won't work better for you. The best kind of marketing though, is simply writing and publishing more books. Having more books out there for people to read increases their chances of coming across one of your books. Then, if they liked the first, they'll pick up another.
While I am an author, I am also a lover of books and a reader. Like most readers, if I find an author whose books and style of writing I enjoy, I'll pick up every book they've put out, finding time to read them all. So authors and readers, rejoice in the understanding that we are one big family of literary lovers. So, help entertain each other. Put out your books for readers to enjoy. Readers, don't be afraid to try something new. You never know what you'll find.
My thanks go out to Marie, Jason, and the others who have asked similar questions. These are good questions, and I just hope I can help some authors who are considering going this route to avoid time-consuming pitfalls and know what they're getting themselves into. Self-publishing is fun, but everything rests on your shoulders. It can be difficult at times, even frustrating, but for those interested in putting in the work, I would recommend it. If you are one of these authors and found this post informative, please share it and tell a friend. If you have questions I haven't addressed, feel free to post them below and I will respond. Thanks for reading.

Great post. This was very informative and I have to kind of deal with the same stuff, though I only use proofreaders in the editing process and do ebook and print formatting myself. You did forget about the Google Play store for books though.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, I have not really had anybody review my book
Anyway, what do you think of author trying to do cover art on their own? Many recommend against it, but I heard people tell me that they like the designs I have done on my books.Replies
Sorry to hear about the lack of reviews. I'd be happy to myself, but I honestly get so little time to read very often beyond working for my clients that I couldn't give you a set time to have read it by. I will pick it up some time and get to it. Could be a while though due to my lengthy to be read list. So don't hold your breath, but it will come. I don't make promises I don't intend to keep.Delete
So far as authors doing their own cover art, that can work, but not very well for me. I did my original cover for A Life of Death, and unfortunately it just didn't turn out that well. You can probably find digital copies of it floating around on the net at various places. However, I'm a writer, not a graphic artist. I'd say some have the talent to do it well, and others . . . well they might want to look into getting a cover designer for a couple-hundred bucks. I'm in that second group. Remember, first impressions with readers are everything.
Darn, could not fix that typo, meant to to say "books".Delete
No worries. It's my fault that I do not have any reviews, since I have not really tried asking anyone. Just let me know through email through what one(s) you want to read and I'll give you a coupon. I am only concerned about the titles on Smashwords, since my first book was probably not that great (I have heard that people really enjoyed it though, such as a student talking about my book at school).
Although I have not gotten any reviews, I have received two five star ratings on goodreads, one from my proofreader.
Yeah, doing cover designs is difficult. However, like writing, it takes time to get better.
This is the dilemma I am going through now. There's this certain validation you get from a traditional publisher, but when I think of all the marketing I am actually excited to do, that I already have cover art, am paying myself to get it published, not to mention I'm impatient and dont want to wait 16 months. Well, the idea of going grom 70% royalties to 15% royalties isn't exciting. Then again, 70% of a thousand is less than 15% of ten thousand. Some bloggers won't talk to self-pub folks, which I do understand why. As for amazon prime, it has worked wonders for me, but I think leaving it in prime comes with diminishing returns.ReplyDeleteReplies
I would just say go the route that works best for you.Delete
As for validation, I do not really think it matters too much. After all, those who seek validation just are not doing things right. I think a writer should write because they enjoy it.
While some bloggers do not talk to self-pub folks, which is why I never really asked for reviews (other than the fact that they want printed copies), I would, as long as it not erotica or something that is only for 18+ and there is no DRM, which is the brunt of my newly made review policy. Besides, Weston was one of the authors that actually gave me a chance, though my blog was just starting at the time.
If anything, I would be more likely to refuse traditionally published authors because either they or their publishers will most likely not want to give me a DRM-free ebook. I have reviewed traditionally published books though.
Ask tattoo artists if you know any personally for cover art ideas of what you want to convey. My opinion if worth anything.Delete
Corrections to above. "paying myself to have it edited" not "paying myself to get it published." More prove why I need an editor.ReplyDelete
Mark, your points are very valid and I agree wholeheartedly with your view about personal validation. As I said, I'm still interested in finding a traditional publisher myself, but it has to be a publisher that believes in my novel and is willing to help promote and market it. That means putting decent money behind promotions, advertising, etc. However, until then, self-publishing can work well. However, you always have to start with a very good, professional product that of the same caliber and quality as traditionally published books. And yes, we all need editors, or at least proofreaders, for our eyes often know not what our fingers have typed.ReplyDelete
I have read my books at least four times and had four others English gurus proof me before I release, and I still find things to fix the fifth time. I usually wait a year to do so, however.ReplyDelete
I'm flattered to be lumped in with much more successful writers.
I regret that I burnt my writings in a drunken rage one evening. Life experience has now provided me with many avenues of less dark and morbid writings (maybe not, I'm just as dark). I am not writing shiny-happy-people kinda stuff. The problem is how dark I go that is truly my inner self on paper.ReplyDelete
Very informative and thanks for posting.
I can't help but allow my darker side out on the page, so I understand completely. I haven't actually burnt my writing before, but I've lost enough for various reasons. Thanks for speaking up Scott, Chris, Mark, and Bryce. Keep up the writing and reading.ReplyDelete

SanDisk has bought itself a little present in Pliant.
It has splashed $327 million on Pliant Technology, which will give it a place in the enterprise solid state drive (SSD) market.
The deal has already been given the green light by both boards of directors and if everything goes as SanDisk plans, it should have its hands firmly on the company by the second fiscal quarter of this year.
The move will enable SanDisk to get its foot into the fast growing enterprise SSD market, which has so far remained at a standstill due to high prices.
According to a report by Gartner, cited earlier in the month by PC World, the SSD market is predicted to become a primary storage option for users next year due to falling prices.
If predictions are correct, SanDisk could be well in the money. It's expected the overall SSD market will soar to $4.2 billion in 2015 from $994 million in 2010.
According to the Motley Fool, SanDisk shares rose by four percent after the announcement.
However, it's not a case of buy and get richer. The Fool suggests the deal isn't going to be an instant hit but has excellent potential because of the doors it opens.
Pliant already has an established relationship with the likes of EMC, meaning SanDisk will have bought itself a link with first tier partners.

At every event, I get to work with the most amazing people in the industry and given the intense nature of this trade, we often get to know each other on not just a professional level, but a personal one as well. Just like any job, these other vendors are like my co-workers. We celebrate each other's milestones in life – who just had a baby, new home-ownership, etc. As the life happens, we experience these things together in our not-so-normal work environment. However, at Greg and Erin's wedding, I had the honor of witnessing one of these monumental life events in person. When Greg's mom Suzy, who is part of the amazing power team at Joannie Liss Events, asked me to photograph her son's wedding, I was beyond ecstatic. As usual, Joannie's team put on a stunning event and Erin and Greg were about as darling a couple as I could have asked for. From the gorgeous flowers from End Design to the amazing music by The Mixed Company Band, this was by far one of my favorite weddings to date! And to top it off, it was such a pleasure to witness one of my favorite vendors celebrate such an important day for her family. 🙂

Welcome back to another Write On Purpose book review. Each week, I review a well-written book, highlighting what makes it good from the reader's perspective and what writing skills and techniques make it an irresistible read. Thus, each review serves both writers and readers.
This week, it's a collection of suspenseful tales called The Apostate and Other Stories of the Contemporary Southwest by J. B. Hogan
The Apostate by J.B. Hogan
Bobby Earl, a desperate boy with psychopathic urges,
sticks a gun to the head of mild-mannered college professor and fugitive Michael and kidnaps him. The police and FBI are on the lookout, but Michael's hidden past makes attention from the FBI the last thing he wants. His past hadn't been a problem until now but his predicament has drawn the attention of the one man in the state who would know him for who he really was. A successful rescue might mean death or imprisonment for Michael, but staying in a killer's clutches is certain doom unless Mary Beth – a sweet but damaged woman-child – can calm Bobby Earl. And time is running out.
Read my 5 Star Amazon Review!
What Makes a Great Suspense Story?
Some suspenseful tales focus on high speed chases. Some focus on character struggles. This collection Continue reading "Book Review of Suspense Anthology The Apostate by J. B. Hogan"SHARE!

Best Ever Pot Roast
Best Ever Pot Roast
The most delicious-tasting pot roast recipe! Once you try it, you won't make pot roast any other way again.
- 2-5 lb. pot roast
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 envelope Italian dressing mix
- 1 envelope brown gravy mix
- Potatoes and carrots (optional)
- 2-4 cups water
- Brown the roast on all sides in pressure cooker. Sprinkle all 3 seasoning envelopes on top.
- Add potatoes and carrots to pressure cooker. Pour in enough water to cover everything. Let cook at 10 lbs. of pressure for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the roast and the amount of potatoes and carrots you add. If you choose not to add potatoes and carrots with your roast, then 2 cups of water should be sufficient.
- Pot roast can be made in a crockpot instead of a pressure cooker if you prefer. Cook on low for 6-10 hours until meat is tender and veggies are cooked through.
This makes the most delicious pot roast I've ever tasted and the veggies absorb so much flavor from the seasoning mixes. The potatoes are to die for, in my opinion! We poured some of the sauce from the pot over the meat and veggies.

Apple has released a security patch to address three vulnerabilities in its AirPort wireless networking technology.
The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution, although Apple claimed that it is not aware of any attacks actively exploiting the flaw.
The patch applies to systems running OS X 10.3.9 through 10.4.7. It is designed for Apple systems released in the past two years, including the Xserve, PowerBook, Power Mac and all the firm's Intel-based systems.
Because of the possibility of remote code execution, the SANS Internet Storm Center has classified the update as 'urgent'. The company recommends users to install the update as soon as possible.
The security fix is unrelated to a widely publicised vulnerability in wireless device drivers demonstrated last summer by two security consultants at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.
The consultants used a third-party wireless card plugged into an Apple laptop, prompting a debate about Apple's security record.

text: TRENTON – A millionaire UPS executive was given probation Friday for failing to pay thousands of dollars in taxes eight years ago. Steven Turner, 63, of New Hope, Pa., was given three years of probation and ordered to pay $345,000 in restitution, Mercer County prosecutors said Friday. The decision came nearly three months after Turner was found guilty of third-degree failure to pay income taxes for neglecting to pay nearly $248,000 in 2008, prosecutors have said. That year, Turner had worked as a controller for UPS and made $2.2 million. Prosecutors have said he lived in a $1 million house at the time. His case caught the attention of the New Jersey Division of Taxation, which launched an investigation and indicted Turner on Oct. 30, 2013. The sentence Friday comes with a caveat – if Turner does not pay the $345,000 he owes in restitution by the time his probation is through, he will have to spend a year in jail, prosecutors said.

If you are getting registered for the BP MS150 ride for 2010 and wanting to join Team Sun & Ski Sports, when you get to the registration page that allows you to search for your team, use the search term "Sun And Ski Sports" to find us. If you need further assistance, please contact us through the comment section below and we'll be glad to help!
UPDATE: BP MS 150 Registration Closed!
The registration for the MS 150 closed in record time this year by registering the 13,000 riders within a few hours of opening. I'm sure there are a lot of disappointed potential riders that didn't get to their computers fast enough to register for the largest bike ride in the United States. If you are in this crowd, hang tight. Over the course of the months to come there are always a number of riders that drop out of the registration for various reasons and spots open back up. If you have questions or concerns you can contact Lone Star chapter.
There has been some confusion for new participants in that registering for a team will secure you a spot in the ride. Unfortunately, that is not the case. All riders need to register with the MS Society to be eligible for the ride… riding on a team only gives you added benefits and support along the way.
If you were one of the fortunate ones to get registered for the MS 150, we welcome you to join Team Sun & Ski Sports and ride with us. There are ton of great benefits again this year…. you can find more information and get registered on our website. The cost is $75 and includes a team jersey and free registration into a number of training rides leading up to the big event.
Here is a list of the training rides that are included with your Team Sun & Ski registration:
o Puddle for the Ducks… February 7th
o Pedaling the Prairie… February 14th
o Spring Breakaway… March 1st
o Tour De Houston… March 22nd
o Katy Ram Challenge… April 11th
BP MS 150 Registration Starts October 15th
It's that time of year again…The BP MS 150 is set for April 18-19, 2009. MS 150 Registration will open on October 15, at 10:15 am. Last year's registration closed after 11 days, so register as soon as possible. The MS 150 website is all new this year, so once you register, be sure to click "Join Team" and choose TEAM SUN & SKI SPORTS as your team.
Team Sun and Ski Sports is THE TEAM to be on…the benefits are better than ever! Here are just a few…
- Sun & Ski Sports Discounts and 5% pledge rebate program
- FREE participation in all official recommended MS 150 training rides that Sun and Ski Sports sponsors. This benefit alone is worth $125! The first ride is Nov. 2nd, so be sure to register for our team before then to receive free participation!
o Tour De Donut…November 2nd (register soon to receive free participation on this ride!)
o Ducks Unlimited Ride…..February 7th
o Spring Breakaway….March 1st
o Tour De Houston……March 21st
o Katy Ram Challenge….April 11th
ALL OF THIS…in addition to a FREE 2009 JERSEY, a FREE MASSAGE IN LA GRANGE, and much more. Team registration is $75. The COMPLETE BENEFITS for Team Sun and Ski Sports are included at the end of this post.
Team Sun & Ski registration begins October 14th, please be on the look out for more information.
You also need to sign up with MS starting October 15th at 10:15 AM. Make sure you sign up for both the MS 150 AND Team Sun & Ski, because registration with just Team Sun & Ski does not reserve you a spot in the MS 150. You need to sign up for both.
Let's ride to end Multiple Sclerosis and have a great time together.

A final eulogy is a way to express grief, to say goodbye and to recount memorable events in the deceased's life, and help friends and family remember them. This eulogy guide is designed to help you gather your intial thoughts. Each eulogy is as unique as your loved one — work to create one as personal, intimate and special just for them.
Some areas to consider:
- How do you know this person? How long have you known them?
- What were their hobbies? Did you share any of these hobbies together? If you did, doyou have a story to share?
- What were some of the positive attributes about the person? Do you have a story about one time when you saw this attribute in action?
- What do they like to do? What did they not like to do?
- Do you have a special memory you would like to share?
- Did they have a favorite saying or motto on life?
- Did they have an achievement they were particularly proud of?
- Did you relationship with them change you in any way?
- What do you think their lasting effect on the world will be?
- What is the one thing that you would like to say about them?
Talk to other people and think through some of the topics on your own. When you sit down to write, consider a focus:
Their Life Story
This type should be used if the majority of the audience knows the person from the latter part of their life. Where were they born? Did they get married, have children? Where did they live? This type of eulogy would tell the story of their childhood, any special awards they won, and major accomplishments as an adult.
Personal Accomplishments
This type of eulogy would be for an audience that is close to family and friends. The accomplishments would be focused on areas that directly affected the audience. For example, if they were a devoted grandmother and her grandchildren were present — this type of eulogy would focus on her devotion. If they especially enjoyed the holidays, then this area would be described.
Personal Stories
This type of eulogy focuses on personal stories between you (or other family members and friends) of the deceased. This is usually light-hearted and sometimes funny.
- Tone: You may want to check with family members to determine if the service is formal, casual, religious or secular. Your tone should match the tone of the service.
- Compile: Organize the information that you have written according to the focus of the eulogy.
- Be Concise and Organized: Check with the funeral organizer about how long the eulogy should be. Typically, they are between 5 and 15 minutes.
- Rehearse
Briefly Explain the Theme: Expand on the theme or focus and how the deceased affected your life.
Tell the Story: This can either be a personal story that you share, or one that a family member shared with you. The story should be reflective of your theme and will be the general "message" of your eulogy.
Summarize: This can serve as your conclusion and no new information should be introduced at this point.
Poem,Quote, Video Tribute or Song: Share a poem, quote, etc. that you think is reflective of their life. This is often a beautiful finishing touch.

PETER BOISSEAU Suffolk Date: June 13, 2015
Shower Head: Well made, at a reasonable price.
Purchased in January 2014, this shower head is well made, with a good and solid feel. I hope to get many years service from it. Although there are cheaper ones available, at £23.57 for its sturdiness and good chrome finish, I believe it was reasonably priced. Worth noting; I'm being asked to review this product 18 months after purchase! Yes, a whole year and a half later. How odd is that!

Let me let you in on a secret guys.
Women like porn. They masturbate. And they fantasize. Problem is, their brains processes porn in a different way than men.
Most mainstream porn portray women as sex objects, only there to cater to the man's every need and whim. Furthermore, some of the sex acts are very degrading and, frankly, offensive to many women. Women want to be seduced, not used.
Women prefer porn with high production values, beautiful male actors, a great storyline and consensual lovemaking. Provide them with such a product, and they will come begging for more. But do such products exists?
We have found 3 great adult websites which are sure to appeal to both men and women, and most of all, couples.
When it comes to capturing the passion and excitement of sex, nobody does it better than X-ART. Their videos feature only the best looking actors (both male and female), very high production values, great lighting, and very sexy scenarios. This is an adult site that both men and women will love. Can adult video be explicit yet tasteful. The answer is definitely yes!
2) Hegre Erotic Massage Videos
Hegre is known for the quality of their productions, and for the beauty of their models. The have recently introduced a line of erotic massage videos which capture the true essence of the erotic massage experience. The quality of these videos is so high, you practically feel like you're in the room with the participants. Very, very hot and sexy!
JoyMii is similar to X-ART. Very high production values, great lighting and full HD quality video. The sex is hot, maybe more direct than the other two sites I've reviewed above, but still very appealing to women and couples.
Know of any other great couple friendly porn sites? Let us know about them in the comment section.
