I wear these almost daily. I like their unique look. They even stay on when I'm sweating! I have the brown gradient lens and they do well shading my eyes from the bright sun. I highly recommend these glasses!
Unique sunglasses
Member since
I like the pink sides of these Smith sunglasses. They hold up great because I've had them for 6 months and they still look brand new. The shape of the frames are unique but I wouldn't call them hipster. They are trendy though. I like the little nose piece to help them stay on my face well.

Day two of a five-day series
TUESDAY, Sept. 24 (HealthDay News) -- The Obama administration's sweeping health reform law known as the Affordable Care Act goes well beyond helping America's uninsured. It also affects roughly 159 million workers and family members who now have job-based health coverage.
If you have an employer-sponsored health plan, you satisfy the law's "individual mandate" that requires most people to have health coverage or pay a fine. And because of the health reform law, sometimes known as "Obamacare," your job-based health plan may include new insurance protections and benefits.
Beginning in 2014, for instance, the reform package prohibits employer-sponsored health plans from excluding people from coverage based on pre-existing health conditions.
It also makes larger employers responsible for offering medical coverage. Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, businesses with more than 50 workers must offer health insurance to full-time workers and dependents or pay penalties. The Obama administration recently delayed the "play-or-pay" mandate, originally set to take effect Jan. 1, 2014, to give employers more time to work through federal rules and reporting requirements.
The health reform law also creates several new insurance protections and benefits for people with job-based coverage. For example, if your health plan had a lifetime limit on health benefits, that's history. And annual limits will be banned completely in 2014.
"Some employer plans had lifetime coverage limits, usually capping out at $1 million, but some were as low as $750,000," said Dr. Alan Spiro, executive vice president and chief medical officer of Accolade Inc., a Plymouth Meeting, Pa.-based company that helps employees and their families navigate the health-care system. "These limits often spelled financial ruin for families during catastrophic medical events," he added.
Also, if you have an adult child under age 26 and your employer health plan offers coverage for dependents, the plan must allow your son or daughter to enroll. Spiro called that "a huge blessing for families" with young adult children. "In this difficult economy, many college graduates were struggling to find employment and losing benefits simultaneously," he said.
The law also requires most employer health plans to offer certain preventive services at no cost to the employee.
"Hopefully, that's an incentive that gets a couple of us couch potatoes to the doctor," said Bill Kaiser, area vice president of sales and marketing for the benefits consulting firm Gallagher Benefit Services.
The law also encourages workplace wellness programs that promote healthy behaviors. You can earn rewards (or face penalties) based on whether you achieve certain results, like lowering your cholesterol, or participate in specific wellness activities. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, the law allows employers to boost rewards and penalties (such as premium discounts or surcharges) to 30 percent of the total plan premium, up from 20 percent.
Law already bringing changes to insurance options
But the law is also prompting changes -- some intended, some unintended -- to employer health plans and employment practices, analysts say.
"The ACA (Affordable Care Act) is hastening difficult decisions employers have to make with how they provide health care to their employees," said Kaiser.
For instance, one in five employers has boosted employees' share of health plan premiums, while one in four intends to do so over the next year, according to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans' (IFEBP) 2013 employer survey. And one in three employers is increasing employees' share of dependent coverage costs, the survey also found.
Scrambling to offset rising health expenses, many employers are getting aggressive. Employees can expect higher premiums, steeper out-of-pocket costs and a continuing migration to high-deductible health plans, among other cost-shifting measures.
"An employer might have to make certain decisions to contain costs, and this is not necessarily only a result of the Affordable Care Act" but the upward trend in health-care costs, explained Mandy Bartoshesky, area senior vice president and compliance counsel in the Philadelphia office of Gallagher Benefit Services, a provider of employee benefits consulting services.
The Affordable Care Act is "shaking things up," added Kevin Flynn, president of Philadelphia-based HealthCare Advocates, which helps consumers resolve health insurance problems. "I think at the end of the day, everybody's going to be paying more," he said.
The IFEBP survey also estimates that about 16 percent of employers are trimming worker hours to part-time status so fewer employees will qualify for health-plan benefits.
Beginning in 2015, large employers -- those with at least 50 full-time workers -- must provide health insurance to employees who log an average of 30 or more hours a week or pay penalties. But some employers are cutting worker hours below the 30-hour threshold, or considering doing so, to avoid the expense of providing health coverage.
A study published earlier this year by the University of California, Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education found that 2.3 million workers nationwide -- particularly retail and restaurant workers -- are at risk of losing hours as a result of the new law.
Recent media reports suggest those industries aren't alone in trimming worker hours. School districts, universities and local governments are also limiting staff hours, citing the anticipated financial strain of providing health benefits.
It's an unintended consequence of the law that union leaders, including the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, see as a threat to worker pay and health benefits. In a letter to Democratic leaders in Congress in July, they warned that without a fix, the Affordable Care Act will "destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class."
A growing number of midsize and large employers -- 25 percent in 2014 and 44 percent in 2015 -- are also saying they're likely to discontinue health coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees, a new Towers Watson & Co. survey found.
And if your employer offers a particularly attractive yet pricey health benefit, the Affordable Care Act may spell the beginning of the end of that coverage.
Starting in 2018, the law imposes a steep tax on employer plans with premiums exceeding $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family -- plans that are typically offered to high-wage earners. (In contrast, average annual premiums for employer-sponsored coverage are $5,615 for single coverage and $15,745 for a family, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research & Educational Trust.)
About 17 percent of employers are redesigning their high-cost plans to avoid this so-called "Cadillac tax," while 40 percent are considering it, according to the IFEBP survey.
Employer-based plans on the decline
Job-based health insurance has a long history in the United States. Companies provide health benefits to recruit and retain qualified workers. It's the way the majority of Americans under the age of 65 get health insurance.
Yet employer-based coverage has dropped off in recent years. The percentage of Americans receiving health insurance on the job or through a family member's job slipped from 69.7 percent in 2000 to 59.5 percent in 2011, according to a report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The economy is partly to blame, with fewer people in the job market overall, according to the report. Staggering increases in health insurance premiums also contributed to the decline, resulting in fewer employers offering coverage and fewer employees accepting it.
The big unknown is whether Obamacare will force some companies to exit the health benefits business. On that point, there is significant debate.
The latest Congressional Budget Office estimates suggest that as many as 7 million people will lose job-based coverage by 2017 as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
Experts say smaller companies that employ 50 or more workers and currently provide health insurance may drop coverage because it would be cheaper to pay fines than maintain coverage for all of their workers.
Most large employers (with more than 1,000 employees) remain committed to providing health benefits for the next five years, according to an employer survey by Towers Watson/National Business Group on Health. But just 26 percent are confident that they will be offering health-care benefits a decade from now.
Meanwhile, a number of large employers are eyeing private health insurance exchanges as a way to continue providing job-based coverage while controlling spending on health benefits. Much like the public exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, private exchanges represent a new way for employees and families to shop for group health coverage and other benefits. Instead of offering a limited number of health plans, the employer would give workers a set amount of money to buy their own coverage.
Kaiser, who works in Gallagher Benefit Services' Mount Laurel, N.J., office, anticipates a slow migration toward private exchanges.
"I don't think it's going to be a mass disruption of employer-sponsored plans where they all go, 'I'm out of the game,'" he said.

VacMaster 87630 Pro 130 Food Sealer Review
If you're looking for a blend of modern convenience, style and power, check out this VacMaster 87630 Pro 130 Food Sealer review to find out how this unit measures up.
The digital age has brought much in the way of functionality and convenience to our homes and the kitchen is a major beneficiary.
A fine example is the VacMaster 87630 Pro 130 Food Sealer.
In this unit, digital technology in the form of sophisticated automatic functionality and a crisp and comprehensive LCD panel display makes this vacuum food sealer from VacMaster one of the best in its class.
This model is a real workhorse and with the digital control panel, you're always in control.It will handle most tasks automatically but if you want complete control over your food packaging tasks, you can use the manual mode.
Product Features and Specifications
- LCD Panel Display
- Automatic and Manual modes as well as a Seal Now Option
- Dual Piston Pump
- Retractable 12 inch Seal Bar for Continuous on Demand Sealing
- Unique pivoting design of heater strip that engages with sealer bags only during the sealing process thus reducing overheating
VacMaster Pro 130 Reviews
The general verdict from users of the VacMaster Pro 130 was that it is a solid machine running reasonably coolly. They found they could run extended jobs on the unit without the need to let it cool down in between runs.
One factor influencing the cool operation is that the extra-long seal bar raises and lowers during the vacuum process. This means that the bag is only heated during that time.
Despite the fair bulk of the unit, users were pleased with its relative lightness.
In terms of efficiency, users reported extremely fast sealing speeds with steaks taking just 12 seconds.
Many users were also pleased with the quietness of use.Users were also satisfied with the quality of the supplied sealing bags themselves.
On the negative side, one user was confused by the manual and had difficulty in sealing liquids. He found that freezing the packs before sealing eliminated this problem. If you plan to preserve a lot of liquids, you'll want to take this into account.
Another customer appeared to have received a defective unit which started smoking after a few days.
Finally, one user cautioned that the sheer vacuuming power of this model meant that the manual mode should be used with fragile foods such as cookies. Otherwise they might crumble or stick together.

MonkeyPaw Games Retro Rush Week 5 Introduces Wolf Fang
32w ago
- MoneyPaw Games PR Manager
Ryan Olsen
is here with Retro Rush Week 5 which introduces Wolf Fang.
Below are the details, to quote: With a new week comes a new title from the MonkeyPaw Games Retro Rush event. Week 5 brings Wolf Fang - an action shoot-'em-up centered around customizable robots - to PlayStation Store.
Wolf Fang was originally released in arcades in Japan in the early 1990s, and made its way to PlayStation a few years later. The story is set in the future: an evil military faction looks to control all the mechs in the world, and the last places on Earth they haven't conquered are Australia and New Zealand (It's always nice to know which areas on future Earth will be the last bastions of freedom, isn't it?). To stop the bad guys from total domination, you pilot your own customized mech to save Oceania.
The customization process allows you to swap out a special weapon, main weapon and legs to fit your personal play style. If you lose all your lives, you can try a different set of parts or keep rocking the same mech.
The choice is always yours, which is good because Wolf Fang's difficulty has a... wait for it... bite to it (sorry, I've been saving that pun for a long time). Overall, there are 12 pieces to choose from so you can play around with the parts to find...

To quote: The third week of the MonkeyPaw Games Retro Rush is all about a pair that works well together. Like salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly, or cocoa and marshmallows, Pete and Danny are inseparable as a firefighting team that work together like clockwork.
What's the Retro Rush? Each week, for six weeks, we'll be releasing a new import PSOne Classic on PlayStation Store for PS3, PS Vita, and PSP. So far, we've brought Double Dragon and Lucifer Ring to PlayStation Store, and a firefighting duo is about to join the Retro Rush with The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny.
In The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny, the titular heroes arrive on the scene of a theme park that's burning to the ground. People are trapped and fire is running wild, there's pandemonium all over the place. Pete and Danny answer the call and head into the blaze to rescue civilians.
Oh, did we mention the game also takes place on Christmas Eve? Talk about a stressful day. The good news is you can bring a friend into the chaos since The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny is a local co-op game.
What makes this game one of the quirkiest titles we have ever released is the fact that this is an action...

MonkeyPaw Games Retro Rush Week 2: Lucifer Ring Hits PSN
35w ago
- MoneyPaw Games PR Manager
Ryan Olsen
is back with Retro Rush Week 2, which features Lucifer Ring on PSN today.
Below are the details, to quote: MonkeyPaw Games is back for the second game in the Retro Rush lineup! What's the Retro Rush? Each week, for six weeks, we'll be releasing a new import PSone Classic on the PSN for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PSP. The first week was Double Dragon, and now Lucifer Ring is the next stop for Week 2.
Lucifer Ring is another title that hasn't seen a release outside of Japan and we are the first to bring it over the ocean and on to the PlayStation Network. It's a 3D beat-'em-up that's heavy on action.
You play as a young hero named Nash who is tasked with stopping a dark wizard from using the Lucifer Rings that will open the gates of Hell. Naturally, Nash will have to hack and slash his way through Centaurs, Goblins, Dragons and creatures named Bob to put a stop to the evil forces. There will be mini-bosses and multi-state level bosses to round out this adventure to put our hero to the test.
Dark wizards never let heroes get any rest, do they?
Lucifer Ring originally released in 1998 on the original PlayStation, which means this classic gem will see it's first North American release 16 years after the original release...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Later this month, the ultra trendy clothing store chain, Urban Outfitters, will open its doors in the former Blockbuster building, but already some business owners say the store isn't being a good neighbor.
The uber-chic clothing store, Urban Outfitters, is set to open in weeks, but some smaller tenants say this corporate store isn't playing nice with the locals.
Highland coffee, which will be behind the new Urban Outfitters, has called their location home for nearly 13 years. During that time, its name was prominently displayed on the sign out front.
But not anymore.
"It's not Tyler Park Plaza anymore its Urban Outfitters Plaza," said Natalie Hofer, co-owner of Highland Coffee. "We just want them to come with the attitude of being an asset to the neighborhood, not coming in and bulldozing everyone out of their way."
Right now, Highland Coffee has one sign that has to be removed every night. At the very least, they they would like their name back on the big sign.
Landlord Stuart Flowers says that Highland Coffee didn't have a right to the sign and since Urban Outfitters has 80 percent of the building they get the sign. He says he will pay for Highland Coffee to get a new sign.
But Hofer says it's not enough.
"What is left for us is having a small five square foot sign that amounts to the size of poster board," said Hofer. " Which is not really visible. And having an a frame sign that we are supposed to bring in."
The owners worry the lack of visible signage will affect their business. It's a sentiment that long time customers share as well.
"It makes me very sad for them that they don't have a big sign up front," said Amy Aboud. "Cause I know people do see the sign and pull in."
"I think everyone within a month or so is gonna be on the other side of the story and see this store bringing in so much business that the coffee shop can't handle it," said David Harwood, general contractor for Urban Outfitters. "Could work to their advantage."
A district manager for Urban Outfitters does plan to meet with the coffee shop owners to make sure their concerns are being heard.

All babies are born with a natural aversion to bitter foods and a preference for sweets, says Jennifer Fisher, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. While this fades over time, many people still maintain a penchant for sweet-tasting food. Scientists have long speculated that's because so many poisonous plants are bitter. "What we do know is that sweet tastes better to us," she says. So indulge in sweeter vegetables—yams, squash, peas, and carrots—which still pack plenty of nutritional advantages.

Why Trying To Apple-fy Your Brand Won't Work
As JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson has discovered, trying to force a brand into an Apple-shaped mold doesn't ensure success.
At Apple, Johnson's claim to fame was being the father of the Apple retail outlets which were a raging success, selling leading-edge, premium priced products in a very simple but contemporary setting. Unfortunately, when he arrived at JCPenney, he immediately concluded he needed to turn JCPenney stores into something akin to an Apple store. He eliminated all notion of a sale and secondly, began forming independent boutique's within each JCPenney store. Each of these boutiques was focused on a fairly well-known name brand such as Levi's.
This rapid and dramatic change at JCPenney totally baffled JCPenney's loyal customers. He was trying to take JCPenney upscale while their shoppers wanted a respectable but low-price alternative that offered some terrific deals each and every week.
As you've been reading, the results have been a major catastrophe for JCPenney. Sales are down over $4.0 billion versus a year ago and the stock price is off 55%. While the holiday season is typically a major boost for retailers, for JCPenney, same-store sales for the recent holiday season declined 32% versus a year ago.
I really like JCPenney.

The Juggernaut MMA News Report 02.06.14: Fantasy Olympic MMA in 2014
Posted by
Jonathan Solomon
on 02.06.2014
News and thoughts on Jose Aldo's weight class desires causing problems for his superfight with Anthony Pettis, a new Bellator title fight, Junior Dos Santos' team decisions, a look at a possible Olympics MMA landscape and more!
The 2014 Winter Olympics begin today in Russia and the opening ceremony is tomorrow, arguably the highlight of all olympic games. I wrote in this space nearly six years ago about mixed martial arts on that stage and while we're absolutely no closer for it to become a reality (hell, legalization in New York State would be nice) today than it was back then.
But, that's okay. You can check out
the 2008 column
and take a look at all the fighters who have since retired or dropped off the face of the Earth (Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, GSP, Miguel Torres, Sexiyama, Dan Hardy, Fedor, Karo Parisyan, etc.). I spread the love around, splitting medals for each weight class (South America was the only region with multiple golds thanks to the Brazilians), and now it will be fun to see how large the changes are with six years leading us to the present.
North America
205+: Cain Velasquez (13-1) from USA
205+: Travis Browne (16-1-1) from USA
205: Jon Jones (19-1) from USA
205: Rashad Evans (19-3-1) from USA
185: Chris Weidman (11-0) from USA
185: Luke Rockhold (11-2) from USA
170: Johny Hendricks (15-2) from USA
170: Carlos Condit (29-7) from USA
170: Robbie Lawler (22-9, 1 NC) from USA
155: Anthony Pettis (16-2) from USA
155: Benson Henderson (19-3) form USA
145: Chad Mendes (16-1) from USA
135: Urijah Faber (30-7) from USA
Yes, this team is ridiculous. The heavyweight central power has transferred from Europe to the U.S. over the past six years, as has every other weight class leading down to the lightweights. Jon Jones and Chris Weidman are the kings at their respective weights and Canada lost their touch at welterweight with Georges St. Pierre taking a sabbatical. Meanwhle, the two lightest weights are just the second-best in the world because a pair of Brazilians have been so dominant, but more on that below.
205+: Mark Hunt (9-8-1) from New Zealand (give me a break, Asian MMA is the missing link today)
205+: Satoshi Ishii (11-2-1) from Japan
185: Yushin Okami (29-8) from Japan
170: Stun Gun Kim (18-2-1, 1 NC) from Japan
155: Shinya Aoki (35-6, 1 NC) from Hapan
145: Chan Sung Jung (16-4) from South Korea
145: Tatsuya Kawajiri (33-7-2) from Japan
135: Takeya Mizugaki (19-7-2) from Japan
Man, it's no secret how much of a drop Asian MMA has experienced in recent years, but damn. I tossed in Mark Hunt because he deserves a mention in 2014, though you may say I need to take a look at a map first. Anyway, the rest of Asia's top fighters are familiar names with the exception of The Korean Zombie, who six years ago was just starting out as a professional. On the bright side, Dong Hyun Kim, Zombie, Kawajiri and Mizugaki are each contenders in their respective divisions today in the UFC.
Western Europe
205+: Alistair Overeem (37-13) from Holland
205+: Cheick Kongo (18-7-2) from France
205: Alexander Gustafsson (15-2) from Sweden
205: Jimi Manuwa (14-0) from England
185: Michael Bisping (24-5) from England
185: Francis Carmont (22-7) from France
170: Tarec Saffiedine (15-3) from Belgium
Here, we definitely have a more impressive group of talent than in 2008. While Overeem has looked more pedestrian than monstrous recently, Kongo is still kicking it and on the cusp of a Bellator title run. Gustafsson nearly became the man to topple Jon Jones' historic run while Manuwa has emerged as a force at light heavyweight. Plus, Saffiedine is the best European welterweight, hellish kicks and all.
Eastern Europe
205+: Vitaly Minakov (13-0) from Russia
205+: Damian Grabowski (19-1) from Poland
205: Attila Vegh (29-4-2) from Slovakia
185: Gegard Mousasi (34-3-2) from Armenia
185: Alexander Shlemenko (49-7) from Russia
185: Mamed Khalidov (28-4-2) from Poland
155: Khabib Nurmagomedov (21-0) from Russia
145: Georgi Karakhanyan (23-3-1) from Russia
145: Frodo Khasbulaev (21-5) from Russia
This may look like a Bellator season with all the Russians involved but we have an eclectic bunch. Bellator's heavyweight, light heavyweight and middleweight champs are represented while Frodo is a tournament winner, too. Karakhanyan recently won the WSOF title while Khalidov is dominating his homeland in Poland and Nurmagomedov has remained undefeated in the octagon. They sure do appear to be taking over.
South America
205+: Junior dos Santos (16-3) from Brazil
205+: Fabricio Werdum (17-5-1) from Brazil
205: Glover Texieira (22-2) from Brazil
205: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-5) from Brazil
205: Shogun Rua (22-8) from Brazil
185: Jacare Souza (19-3, 1 NC) from Brazil
185: Vitor Belfort (24-10) from Brazil
185: Lyoto Machida (20-4) from Brazil
170: Demian Maia (18-5) from Brazil
155: Rafael dos Anjos (20-6) from Brazil
145: Jose Aldo (23-1) from Brazil
135: Renan Barao (32-1, 1 NC) from Brazil
Yes, team Brazil. The one non-Brazilian I listed in 2008 was Melvin Manhoef but no such luck this go around. Even keeping Anderson Silva out of this group, it looks fierce on paper. Certainly, there's a bit of a luster issue at heavyweight, 205 and 185, but quality fighters are everywhere. The most dominant two are Aldo and Barao who each retained their respective UFC gold last week and show no signs of letting up.
Heavyweight Gold
: USA (North America)
Cain Velasquez is a monster, he's unstoppable and Travis Browne is okay, too.
Light Heavyweight Gold
: USA (North America)
Where Bones goes, so goes the gold.
Middleweight Gold
: USA (North America)
Amazingly, it's a clean sweep so far thanks to Weidman. You may disagree thanks to the depth for South America, but how do you go against the champion?
Welterweight Gold
: USA (North America)
This isn't so much fun anymore, Team USA has ridiculous depth between Hendricks, Condit and Lawler.
Lightweight Gold
: USA (North America)
Between Showtime and Bendo (not even counting Gilbert Melendez or Josh Thomson), 155-pounds is all about those Americans.
Featherweight Gold
: Brazil (South America)
Where Aldo goes, so goes the gold.
Bantamweight Gold
: Brazil (South America)
No collection of 135ers can be more impressive than THE man, Renan Barao.
Wow. In 2008, only the Western Europeans were shut out from a gold medal. Fast forward to 2014 and what do we see? A two man race between the U.S. and Brazil. Asia and ALL of Europe are spectators here and it's worth thinking about: what's happened to the sport internationally? Clearly, the UFC's ability to swallow up significant competitors has cut down on the likes of Fedor Emelianenko or anyone even remotely close. Instead, there are groups like KSW in Poland where Mamed Khalidov dominates or even over in Bellator where the majority of fighters are viewed as prospects or worse, second-rate.
- According to reports out of Brazil, Junior dos Santos is now splitting time between Team Nogueira and Nova Uniao. He's still preparing for his return to the cage following his second disastrous loss to champion Cain Velasquez.
- In the latest turn of events in the Anthony Pettis-Jose Aldo saga, things may not be so easy after all. Despite the fact that following his win last weekend over Ricardo Lamas, Aldo expressed a desire to fight Pettis, the question now is at what weight. At the moment, the Brazilian's camp has called for a catchweight super fight while the lightweight champion's reps are wholeheartedly against him dropping any weight.
For the moment, unless Aldo is willing to leave his home at featherweight, this fight may stay in the DREAM stage.
- Announced yesterday, the upcoming Bellator bantamweight title tilt on March 7th has been changed due to injury. Tournament winner Rafael Silva hurt his knee in training and has been pulled from the card, replaced with Anthony Leone who will take on champ Eduardo Dantas. The New York-native lost a decision to Silva in the tourney finals. For those wondering, Joe Warren (who is also waiting for a title fight after winning a 135-pound tournament) declined to take this fight because he is not fully back from his own knee injury, and will wait until the spring before he fights again.
- Confirmed yesterday is a big lightweight bout pitting Khabib Nurmagomedov against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC on Fox 11 in Florida this April. RDA is riding a five-fight win streak while Nurmagomedov is undefeated after 21 professional fights. Originally, dos Anjos had been set to fight Rustam Khabilov at UFC 170 this month but an injury to the latter stifled that match-up. Also, there was lots of talk some time ago that Khabib would meet Gilbert Melendez but apparently the former Strikeforce champion was not interested in returning to the cage around April.
- Other fights confirmed for the Fox show this spring include knockout artist Yoel Romero vs. Brad Tavares and Pat Healy vs. Jorge Masvidal. The main event is officially set as a five-round heavyweight tilt to determine the next championship contender when Fabricio Werdum takes on Travis Browne.
- Also made official this week is the UFC's return to Abu Dhabi, scheduled for April 11 with a main event featuring Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Roy Nelson. This will mark the first time since April 2010 they will run in the Middle East, that show was infamous for the horrible showing by Anderson Silva (in victory) against Demian Maia and the night Frankie Edgar upset B.J. Penn to become lightweight champion.
- Undefeated top-10 welterweight Ben Askren will begin training for his debut fight with One FC this May in Singapore at Evolve MMA. This also means he may possibly be working with Shinya Aoki, who is also pegged to debut with that organization in the spring. Neither have confirmed opponents yet, although their first welterweight champion will be crowned next month when Brock Larson challenges Nobutatsu Suzuki.

Throw Away Your Television
With more than one-third of America's children overweight, we have TV to thank (more importantly, our choice to indulge in it).

She wanted the frilly, baby-doll toting, sweet-talking kind of little sister, and instead she got the dinky-car driving, dirt-loving, motorcycle-rider-wannabe kind of sister.
As we grew up, she liked me less and less. Sadly, the feeling was pretty much mutual.
When I was thirteen, and living alone with Mom, she got cancer. The cancer came and went and finally became terminal when I was eighteen. Mom was given six months to live.
(wow, it's weird to even write that, all these years later)
Mom didn't want to die in the hospital. She didn't want to be alone. And so I dropped out of university and went home to care for her. Heather, my sister, took a leave of absence from her work (she lived a few thousand miles away from us) to take care of her, too.
My sister thought I was selfish, immature, a "bad girl" and totally unreliable and unfeeling.
I thought Heather was a prude, stuck-up, a goody-two-shoes and totally out of touch.
For six weeks we lived in a small apartment and cared for our dying mother. We cared for her every need ~ fed her, washed her, gave her medication. Hospice came to help once day. A nurse came once a day. Her coworkers and friends brought meals.
But all the rest of the time it was just us, watching our mom fade away.
Heather would break down and cry whenever Mom called her by a different name.
I wouldn't cry at all.
I could sit and talk with Mom, going along with whatever reality she was living at that moment.
Heather couldn't bear to see how far Mom had fallen.
We discovered that where she was weak I was strong and where I was weak, she was strong.
We discovered we could love each other.
Now, twenty-five years later, we do love each other. We are the best of friends. We are family.
Mom did that. She brought us together. Taught us that differences can be set aside, in fact differences help us fit together. She showed me the value of family.

Hello everybody, Levani here. I have some exciting things to say or more like report. But, I'll just shut up and let you know what Vit has to say :
"Hi there,
As usual, it has been quite a while since I last visited UmiTweak Wiki, so, I may not know what is going on with the rest of the team. This post contains our New Year greetings and will perhaps bring some hope to Umineko fans.
Long ago (December 2010), Alchemist released "Umineko no Naku Koro ni — Rondo of the Witch and Reasoning" on the PS3 platform. In 2011 some team released a very early port of that game on PC but abandoned the project. Their work inspired two teams to continue.

I wanted to make this blog post, telling everyone that they need to just chill out a little. I've seen a lot of people pestering the workers of the UmiTweak and you guys need to calm down. They are doing this patch for you all and you should show appreciation for it. ONScripter-EN is not easy to use at all, and the PS3 files are reallly nonsensical. You have to really know what you are doing to work on this patch. I'm sure you all that are pestering them don't know how to work ONScripter. So you shouldn't be rushing them on this. They aren't getting paid for the work they are doing...

A Guide to Nanny Background Checks
Letting Agencies Do the Asking
Where do you begin? A good way is to start with a licensed nanny agency. These businesses typically charge parents a fee, anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, to match pre-qualified nannies with families. Besides finding someone who meets your criteria for days needed, experience, etc., most agencies also run basic background checks on their candidates. These investigations typically include a criminal record check and DMV reports. Some, but not all, also include ID and address history and credit checks. If you decide to hire a nanny through an agency, make sure to find out exactly what their background checks cover, and determine if that's enough information for your peace of mind.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- An imprisoned Lebanese-Swedish terror suspect said he stockpiled medical "cool packs" which "contained ammonia" for commerical export, and is not a Hezbollah member, after being arrested for possessing 10 gallons (38 liters) of ammonium nitrate which can be used to build bombs.
"I am 100 percent not guilty in the terror crimes I am accused of," Hussein Atris, a dual Lebanese-Swedish citizen, told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
"This is a conspiracy. I deal only with ordinary business operations," Mr. Atris, 47, said in Swedish, describing why he repeatedly came to Thailand during the past two years while exporting items to Lebanon, Liberia and other countries from a building he rented on the outskirts of Bangkok.
"We bought goods in Asia and exported them to other countries, including Lebanon. It was fans, photocopier paper and cool packs used to relieve pain. These bags contained ammonia," Mr. Atris said.
Ammonia nitrate can be extracted from some cool packs, which are usually plastic bags containing chemicals that maintain a cold temperature after being refrigerated, and can be used for cooling medicine, food, physical aches and other purposes.
His rented building held 4.8 tons (4,380 kilograms) of urea fertilizer, 10 gallons (38 liters) of liquid ammonium nitrate, and 400 electric table fans in cardboard boxes, police told reporters.
"Carefully cut the cold pack open with a exacto knife or razor blade," said an "anonymous" poster on a California-based, question-and-answer website, http://www.answerbag.com, when "kuyakev" asked how to extract ammonia nitrate from a cool pack.
"The ammonium nitrate is in little pellets, that will begin to come out," the poster said in a reply which could not be independently confirmed.
Police charged Mr. Atris with illegal possession ammonium nitrate -- which requires a Thai government permit.
Ammonium nitrate, together with fertilizer and other items, can be used to build a bomb.
In the U.S., for example, ammonia nitrate was used in the 1995 Okalahoma City bombing.
"Three years ago we started doing business in Thailand. I have rented a store here for two years now," Mr. Atris said in the interview conducted on Thursday (January 19) inside Bangkok Remand Prison.
"We have never dealt with chemical fertilizers. It must have been placed in our store room by someone, probably the Mossad," he said, referring to Israel's secret service.
No fuses, timing mechanisms or detonating charges were discovered in Mr. Atris's building.
The description by Thai police of the building's contents included "enough materials to construct several truck bombs comparable to the one detonated at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad in 2008," which killed at least 40 people, according to the Texas-based, intelligence analysis website Stratfor (Stratfor.com) in its report on Thursday (January 19) titled "A Hezbollah Threat in Thailand?"
"Urea fertilizer can be used to manufacture the improvised explosive mixture urea nitrate, which was the main charge used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The compound is also frequently used in improvised explosive devices in Iraq and to some extent in Afghanistan," Stratfor said.
"The largest vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices in recent history have contained about a ton of fertilizer," Stratfor reported, speculating on the potential use of the 4.8 tons (9,656 pounds or 4,380 kilograms) allegedly found in Mr. Atris's building.
"The device used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing consisted of about 1,300 pounds (590 kilograms) of urea nitrate. Constructing and delivering bombs larger than that tends to create technical and logistical hitches. It is much more likely that such a large amount of fertilizer would be meant for multiple smaller or medium-sized devices."
In the interview, Mr. Atris said, "I am a Shia Muslim, but not part of the Hezbollah.
"However, I live in an area outside Beirut where they are strong. I also have sympathy on the left, I also voted for the Social Democrats when I lived in Sweden. Maybe it made me suspicious in Mossad's eyes. They kept an eye on me."
His current return to Thailand came after floods killed more than 800 people, inundated one-third of the country, and swept through parts of Bangkok.
"Firstly, I had to check the warehouse after the floods in November and December. And secondly, I should arrange a shipment to Liberia, that we had problems with. The cargo is now booked on a freighter," Mr. Atris said without elaborating on its contents, schedule, route or customer.
Shipping containers on freighters are also a problem for counter-terrorist agents who fear huge containers can be packed like a gigantic car bomb, and detonated at sea or in a harbor.
Mr. Atris was arrested on January 12 while departing through Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport, and led police to the rented building on January 16.
"I was just about to fly home. When I went through all the [Bangkok airport] controls and got my bag, I was X-rayed. They took me to a detention center at the airport and interrogated me.
"I only had a bag with some clothes and gadgets like fake iPhones, some USB flash drives, hard drives and memory sticks with me. I usually sell them in Lebanon. And then I was accused of being a terrorist. But I am 100 percent innocent."
On December 18, Israel reportedly told the U.S. and Thailand about the presence of at least two Hezbollah members in Bangkok.
After a three-week secret manhunt by Israeli, U.S. and Thai security forces -- and one day after Mr. Atris was arrested -- the American Embassy issued a public alert on January 13 "that foreign terrorists may be currently looking to conduct attacks against tourist areas in Bangkok in the near future."
The U.S. warning is still in effect, despite repeated efforts by Thai officials to have it cancelled amid worries that Thailand will lose money if fearful foreign tourists avoid the country.
"I feel pretty good in spite of the situation," Mr. Atris said.
"I miss contact with my family in Lebanon. It is only now here in the prison that I have been able to read some papers and get to know more details of my arrest. I have been treated well by the Thai police," he said.
"One evening I was taken out of prison, was placed in a car that drove off with me to a house somewhere. In there, I was interrogated by three men who apparently came from Mossad. I have their first names. They claimed that I lied about various things."
Mr. Atris said he moved from Lebanon to Sweden in 1989, married, and became a Swedish citizen in 1994.
After working as a "hairdresser" for 10 years in Gothenburg, the family moved back to Lebanon in 2005 where they have two sons, aged 15 and 12, and two daughters, 17 and 7, he said.
Mr. Atris said he visited Sweden in 2010 to register his fingerprints for his Swedish passport which was issued in 2005 and expires in 2015 (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4175513,00.html).

Know What You Are Doing - asian woman, with a complexion between fair and wheatish - Orlando, FL
My experience with Chemical peel was pretty bad...
My experience with Chemical peel was pretty bad and i strongly suggest that you get it done only from a Doctor if you have to. I am an asian woman, with a complexion between fair and wheatish. Someone told me that chemical peels are great if you have acne scars, so i dashed to a spa, hoping i would be able to get rid of all these horrible acne marks.Little did i know that they would get worse. As soon as the treatment started, my face began to burn as if it was on fire. I tried to be calm for a minute or so, even the staff told me that some pain is natural, but i knew that something wasn't right. I couldn't take the pain any more and demanded that my face be cleaned immidiately. I rushed home and by evening, my face was full of red, scary blisters that looked like chicken pox. I was still in alot of pain and i washed my face again and again with ice cold water, even took a painkiller but it didnt help that much. After a few days my skin began to peel.It was not just peeling, but literally coming off. My skin became light and very sensitive and even washing my face and applying moisturizer was a hard task. After that, i started getting breakouts. My face becme worse and i was super depressed.My skin took a long time to heal and now, i just dont wish to get a chemical peel ever again.Maybe my skin was allergic to the chemicals, i don't know. My advice to you is that if you decide to go for a chemical peel, just make sure you go to a good doctor and weigh the pros and cons and if possible, even test for allergies. There might be a lot of people and spas out there that are not certified and if you have to get a chemical peel done, please go to a good reputed clinic instead. You might spend a little extra money, but atleast if you will be safer. Either which way, ladies, make sure you read all side effects, advantages and disadvantages before subjecting your face to harsh chemicals.

I have to disagree with MARY above, when you receive a chemical peel of any sort, yes there can be some burning tingling warm or hot sensations, but not to the extent of what the lady who posted this comment recieved. I am a licensed Esthetician and very experienced in Facials, Skincare & Chemical Peels and she obvisously received a major chemical burn and possibly a allergy reaction to the product(s) used. So before you judge someone else with "I think you may over reacted to the pain" I think you need to do your research or understand from a professionals point of view what happened during that poor clients experience. She was NOT over reacting. Because one technician/esthetician decided it's wasn't important to have their needed education because they PUT CHEMICALS ON A PERSON"S SKIN one person is scarred, mentally, emotionally and physically!!

Too bad, I think you may have over reacted to the "pain"-- we all have our threshold, but I do believe if you had informed your self prior to jumping in, you would have expected the "burning"-- and the fact that you demanded the removal of the solution was most likely the cause of your final appearance-- not theirs I highly suggest that you try it again, sit there, know that you will expect the "burning"--it is tolerable-- and worth it I, too , am an asian woman with lighter skin tones and I will go in every 18 months to have the TCA peel and when I am older, I will also have the phenol peel if needed,-- it is the BEST thing at rejuvenating the skin-- hands down try again-- it will clean up the mess you caused-- its worth it--
