just so you know, documentaries produced here in the U.S. routinely cost anywhere from $300,000 – $500,000 to make. so, make sure that you compensate yourself fairly in the budget (for each and every job you performed, even if it was a one-man band), and don't budget for too low a figure. if your figure is TOO low, that might be a red flag to funders that you don't know what you are doing... for me, i remember originally budgeting for $120,000 (when i was young and clueless); however, my final budget came in at just under $400,000.
The Mentoring Room - Ask the Working Pros
This is a Public Topic geared towards first-time filmmakers. Professional members of The D-Word will come by and answer your questions about documentary filmmaking.
Mmm interesting, thanks Chris.
I've listed the following budget categories for the films completion;
- Editing
- Sound
- Music
- Color Grading
- Animation, Graphic Design
- Format Transfers
- Festivals (Appl. fees, Shipping, Other expenses)
- Travel (Airfares, Accomodation, Expenses)
- Marketing
- Publicity
- Legal Fees
- Insurance
Is there anything I'll left out that you think should be added?
The figure is currently hovering just above your 'young and clueless' total so I may need to reevaluate. Starting with the figure allocated for my own workload!

Thanks Jade, I have applied.
I'm trying to figure out a light tripod setup and i wonder if you guys have any thoughts:
My plan is to get either a Manfrotto 503HDV head or a Libec H38
I want to combine it with one of the following 3 legs I found used on B&H. Any advice would be welcome. I feel like I'm sure one of the links below is going to be laughably wrong for me:
Is a documentary showcase like IDA's DOCUWEEKS a good opportunity for filmmakers?
All of the Libec stuff I've seen is utter crap. I would avoid their products. Gitzo makes great stuff. Should last a lifetime.
Noam, I actually checked out those Gitzo legs today at B&H. I'm not sure what camera you're using, but I wouldn't put much weight on those- they're pencil thin. I needed a lightweight travel tripod for my 5d, and put the Manfrotto 701 head (not recommended unless you really need to cut down on weight) on the Gitzo 2531LVL legs. This setup also gives you a ball leveling mechanism, which is crucial for fast setup, so you don't have to spend a bunch of time messing with the legs. Whatever you get, you should get something with a leveling mechanism (usually in video, you get a head with a ball level base, and attach it to legs that have the proper size bowl- probably 75mm for you).
I just finished my 2nd short documentary! 'Filipino Rice Policy', It discusses the corruption behind this massive monopoly in the Philippine rice trade and the future of Agriculture Policy in the Philippines. I would love to hear your criticism and thoughts on what I should do with it. It's only 23-minutes

I'm currently working on a series of small segments for my website, all of which are documentary-style segments that have to do with cars and motoring. During some of the filming, we will be on a race track that a friend of mine manages, and some of the other filming will be done on the road leading to the track. It's a very remote road that not that many people go on, but what I'm worried about is if someone does drive down the road when we are filming. I'll have basically myself along with a camera car, and two people setup on tripods along the road. How worried should I be about if someone drives by when we are filming, or something like that? It would be quite difficult to chase them down and ask them for a release, obviously..

50YearSubscriber 5pts I haven't driven either vehicle, and as much as I would rather toss my business to Ford than Toyota, I would be compelled to opt for the ES. The MKZ is a sleek looking vehicle, but I wouldn't think of subjecting any friends to its terribly cramped back seat.
Lord Wou 5pts If only there was a car that had the interior and exterior looks of the MKZ, but had the body and technology of the ES. That I would buy.
Torin Sundberg 5pts i would have to go with the lincoln. I think the way they are revamping the brand is great and i think the styling is on their side. They have more power and options for it and i think it resembles a more sportier appearance than its Lexus counterpart.
zoomvroom1 5pts I would take the MKZ anytime over the ES. While the ES has improved greatly over the previous generation, it hasn't improved much. If I have $36,000, I would rather spend it on something like the new IS or get a loaded Fusion. The MKZ looks like an uglier Fusion. Neither of them would get my money, but if I had to choose, I'd take an MKZ Hybrid.
Trevor Martinez 5pts Ill Preface this by saying that I am a college student and that it will probably be at least 10 years before I will be able to buy a luxury car. But, If I had the money today, I would take the MKZ over the ES 100% of the time. There really is nothing "cool" about the Lexus. There is little forward thinking or innovation in that car at all, nothing that will appeal to anyone who knows little about luxury cars. Will Lexus lead in sales? Yes. No one doubts that it will hold that crown over the lincoln for quite some time but, that doesn't mean that Lexus is the better car. Lincoln has a lot of catching up to do and divorcing itself from Ford to do but, the MKZ is solid a step in the correct direction. Also, are people who are buying luxury cars legitimately vested in fuel economy stats? As long as one car isn't outlandishly worse, it seems odd to be talking about that. Maybe I am just naive but, yeah. Someone should answer that question for me.
C. A. Martin 5pts I have to go with the Fu...er, I mean MKZ over the Cam...um, ES. I'd opt for the V6, which in the Lincoln has more power and is a better engine in my experience. I'm not a fan of the Lexus "Predator face" on all their current vehicles, and I've found most Toyota-based products to be forgettable to drive.The front of the the MKZ isn't quite as nice as its rear...but it's nicer than that of the ES and its resemblance to the creature in a few sci-fi/horror movies.
Fordbullittboy 5pts This topic has really got me because i want to see Lincoln succeed and like any american, I know i have the answer:First i wanted to point out a few things just looking at the pictures (which i didn't do previously)..Lexus: wow they went a little bacwards on this car, like always a showy concept and then a beaten down version of it for production. It really looks like a stretched shall i say it dodge neon (Dart). And the door panels look like they were borrowed form a nissan pathfinder or a Honda Element. The dash is cluttered and looks like a Grandfather clock. Other than that i am sure it is a great product like normal from they Yota group. Lincoln: Kind of surprised at how close this car resembles the concept. I think all concepts should be closer to there production mates. The lincoln interior looks clean and well put together but why do we have 6 buttons for Park - Drive. Unreal.. The exterior is sharp and follows with a classy interior. But i think the only thing holding this car in contention with the "others" is the MPG. Which will become a huge deal whenever the new Obama MPG laws come into affect. But just one other thing about luxury cars. I feel like there is a very clear formula to success: (BMW,AUDI) First driving is all about compassion and connecting. You need that sporty luxury version of everything you make. Let your customers know you mean business. With how far Lincoln is out of the game They need to really blow the roof off the luxury market. Any car that has major success is always supported by a lucrative version. (S4,M3,SVT) Give pride and passion in your work lincoln. I think if you model yourselves off of BMW or Audi you have a fair chance. Or look at Hyundai. I know they have the looks but can lincoln provide in the areas that really matter to customers. Will they give A sporty lincoln or are they scared to put up against cars that are far more advanced.
Andrea N Parada 5pts MKZ or EX? Easy. BMW 328i. Or if the world ran out of those, A4 I guess. I mean give me a break.
Monsterized 5pts Lexus. Many reasons I'd choose Lexus ES so far. As I said, Lincoln needs to change its strategy again, because sharing technologies and powertrain from Ford units is lame. Lincoln must be unique, something that will never happen. It'll die like Mercury. Sorry, but that's the true.-Mönst-
Fordbullittboy 5pts I first must admit i am a ford fan. And so as most of my life have been automatically included in the lincoln category.. I think it is about time lincoln tries to branch off and create its own idenity. This should have been done a long time ago and because of that alone will have a tough ride if it wants to make it. Ford is going to have to let LINCOLN be Lincoln. Be firsts and bests at categories that people care about. That being said; I believe lincoln has finally got the leadership it needs and we may be on the verge of something very exciting here. I have never been a toyota or lexus fan and tend to stick towards supporting our own country. Except for some pretty remarkable german cars... That being said I would love to drive both back to back. And styling and just for the MPG factor I would have to take the lincoln Hybrid 45 and 45 is pretty remarkable! I would save close to 1,000 a year driving that over my current ride. and i get 29mpg combined. To Lincoln: Continue to be adventourous, Step where others haven't (NICE ROOF) And change everything that comes from a ford bin so it does not get criticized. This is the road your predicessors gave you and well lets face it you have a rough start. Great first step.
Cole-Blooded 5pts I've driven both and to me, the Z has a younger soul. The ES still feels a little more laid back. Interior quality is slightly better in the ES, but the Z has more features. I plan on buying the Z.
beard 5pts The MKZ has more style but I think it will look dated really fast. I already find the Fusion to look dated and I think the same will hold true for the MKZ. The ES is more vanilla but i think it looks classier and will still look good years down the road (I still think that my father's 2003 ES looks pretty good). The interior of the Lincoln doesn't appeal to me at all while I think that the Lexus interior looks fantastic. Styling advantage - Lexus ESThe ES will almost certainly be bulletproof in terms of reliability while all the recent Ford recalls make me skeptical of the Lincoln's reliability. Advantage - Lexus ES.Neither will be terribly fun to drive so that's really a non issue in this class. Dealer experience is a minor consideration but one worth noting. I would much rather go to a Lexus dealer for service than a Ford/Lincoln dealer. Advantage - Lexus ES.That said, I think that both are very expensive for what you are really getting, a tarted up version of a mainstream car. I would take a higher trim level Camry or Fusion over either of these cars.
bcwells09 5pts The latest generation ES was soundly panned by those who have tested it as being a big step backward in its "Lexusness" ... and while the new MKZ did not garner unanimous praise for every little thing about either I think we really need to wait until head-to-heads are done and consumers who actually have driven the two variants can weigh in ...On style alone though, I would take the MKZ ... neither cars are really in my future plans
bobdevo 5pts Talk about a no brainer. We're basically asking which flavor of bland vanilla woud you but - REAL vanilla (Lexus) or some vanilla-flavored newcomer. It might be different if the Lincoln actually did anything better than the Lexus . . .
Relish 5pts Just the fact that there is spirited debate in this thread is a good sign for the Lincoln. It's nice to see a Lincoln getting some hype... I hope the car can live up to it, and truly start to revitalize the brand.As for MKZ vs ES - I'm rooting for the MKZ but Lexus has done luxury right for so long, you can't go wrong with the ES either.
Tina_Dang 5pts Lol, why are we asking rhetorical questions? Without blinking an eye, the Lexus ES. Far superior than that Ford with a better interior/exterior (even with the horrible grille), dealership service, and brand cachet. Plus the Lexus badge alone is more than enough to justify that purchase. Again the only way I would be in a Lincoln is on the way to my funeral. At the end of the day, I would rather my car have a chrome encircled L, than a silver painted plastic crucifix between a set of wings/baleen teeth.
TravisB 5pts Lexus. Hands downThese cars are about Luxury... and in this class no car beats the ES. It offer the most smooth ride. Best seats and is the most pampering car in its class. Not to mention I saw the interior in person... the interior looks much more expensive then the cars price tag. The Lexus has Luxury on LOCK and has always been... the MKZ while a better car then its older models isnt built like the ES it hasn't reached that level of quality and still has nicks to work out while the Lexus is working flawlessly. The seats in the new GS and ES are some of the best on the market even rear passenger comfort is best in the ES its like a mini LS in term of Luxury. Also the new Lexus steering wheel is so sweet looking and feeling.Overall the Lexus ES is the best at what others are trying to copy. My only issue with the ES is no heated rear seats
xxunderclassheroxx 5pts I'd say the MKZ based on that "difference" factor. I'd have to drive one to see how I like it, but if it's anything like my Fusion I'd definitely like it. Luckily no 1.6L so no engine issues, and the design just speaks to me. I saw it at the auto show last year and really like it, they finally made the wing grill work in my eyes. It's possible if they made it smaller and blend with the lights more while adding a larger bottom grill it might look distinct but not bloated. The back is just awesome. Interior is okay, you can definitely see Fusion influence/borrowed parts there, which lowers appeal. Improve the interior design and room in the back seat while making the EPA MPG possible and you've got something. This is leaps and bounds above the old reskinned Lincolns, but there's still work to be done. We'll see how things play out over the next few years
rick.pa 5pts I tend to gravitate to the underdog, in this case the Lincoln. It has taken its lumps over stuff like the MKZ nomenclature, its shared underpinnings with the Ford Fusion, its conservative styling, and its diminished market share. I doubt if most of its harshest critics have driven an MKZ or even given it a fair look. I wish Lincoln well in its renewed attention to its brand, its dealerships, and the MKZ in particular. The MKZ could be a come-from-behind winner if people would check it out and give it a fair assessment. I for one think the company's turnaround strategy deserves credit, and that the new MKZ is a solid entry in its class. I'm not knocking Lexus, but I happen to believe Lexus now has a formidable competitor.
ralander 5pts The Lincoln but only if they raise the quality and customer service level of their dealers to the Lexus and Audi level. That is one of the reasons that I haven't gone with Lincoln before. Ross Flint/Lansing/Tampa
Mitchel 5pts I've really tried liking the styling on this Lincoln... I really have. I'd also like to say that I've been really pulling for American cars to officially reestablish themselves as major players in the performance and aesthetics departments on the world market. I'm sorry, but while I can see the effort that was put into the MKZ, it is still bloated and hideous looking. Theres too much, yet not enough going on with the front grill and rear deck, which makes the car oddly look like it had a mating session with a bird before getting smashed by battering ram from above in the rear. I don't exactly know what to say... The ES is a nice car, but I wouldn't buy one simply off of the fact that it's over hyped so I suppose my conclusion is neither one of these....
firstname.lastname@example.com 5pts Hated every picture of the new MKZ. Was so disappointed. Until I saw it in person. Its a very sleek sexy car. If it was RWD I would love to have one. But even in FWD Id still take it over the ugly ES
Frederick 5pts I'd like to say the MKZ but Ford's record in the luxury segment is abysmal and one can only wonder at what point they will orphan the poor vehicle or someone will change its name to justify their outsized income or satisfy their ego and cover up for the fact that nothing substantial is being undertaken to improve it. At least Toyota is committed to the ES and you know has a long-term plan to continue building the brand which along with a superior level of quality which will result in higher resale value.
josh8116 5pts obviously the mkz.... in past, i would have gone for the es because mk wasnt good enough..... but now lexus es has taken a step backwards...
vic1207 5pts I'd much rather have a Buick LaCrosse than these two or heck (I will add the Toyota Avalon with it)... in fact more college students are buying new LaCrosses, Regals, and Veranos anyways. The MKZ really doesn't look that Sleek at all and really thought the ES is a joke somehow
vtr 5pts Ford should make the explorers 3.5L V6 the one and only conventional powertain in the MKZ.... standard equipment. A big selling point of the ES is so many things are standard rather than optional compared to other luxury brand cars. Smoother V6 pwr should be standard on the MKZ, not a 4 cylinder at this price.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts The true answer is neither, but if it's a choice between the two, the Lincoln in V6 form is the easy winner, particularly as long as Lexus insists on inflicting that hideous "Predator", I mean spindle, grill on us.
mini22 5pts I'm not really into luxury cars or near luxury cars. I tend to like small cars that are light and agile. However If I were in the market for these type of cars and looked at both cars to see which one fills me up with emotion I would have to go with the MKZ. There is just a classyness to it that the Lexus does not have. I'm not against Lexus at all. However, I have never felt that Lexus was really a car with it's own identity or soul.It's like comparing a popular medication with a Generic. It's like do you buy "Tums" or the generic antacid for a few dollars less. Ok so you want a luxury car.Lexus has all the elements you expect in a luxury car but it's all generic.Yes it's quiet and rides well but it's simply generic without a soul. Like most luxury car makers Lincoln has that history to it that Lexus does not have. The grill, the pushbutton tranny, the well designed hump back look. I know single people that enjoy owning and driving a 4dr luxury car. Even if they never take on passengers they don't car about the rear leg room or trunk space or even the practicality issue for just one person.Lincoln simply has more classic elements to it that Lexus(the generic) does not have. Lexus is simply too vanilla for me.
Black Dynamite 5pts @Fordbullittboy THAT'S the problem! Lincoln has zero identity. Lincoln is nothing right now. They are starting over from scratch....BD
firstname.lastname@example.com 5pts @Cole-Blooded I wish I could trade in my 09 MKS that I just bought this year because I would go with the MKZ as well in either the Ruby Red, the Graphite gray, or maybe even all black with the chrome rims and sunroof and THX II!!! Hope you get the car you want....
bcwells09 5pts @bobdevo And have you driven either of the latest generation models of these cars or are you simply basing your opinion on say, what you have read in a magazine or on-line?
TravisB 5pts @Relish Theres only a debate because Mt made it a topic... other wise the ES will always be the sale leader.
Lou_313 5pts @Tina_Dang The Lexus "L" is plastic just like the Lincoln emblem, and their both chrome. Nice try.
Black Dynamite 5pts @Tina_Dang Good to see you on the right side of history again, Tina, my sweet.....BD
twokegger 5pts Ya know, the LaCrosse beat the ES in a MT comparison. And, outside the US, the reputation of Lexus is quite different.
Logan814 5pts @vic1207 Trust me, college students don't have the money to buy Buicks, even the Verano.
Black Dynamite 5pts @vtr Very good post!Lincoln definitely needs to stand out, and that would do it......BD
TravisB 5pts @Mojojito I agree the interoir of the MKZ doesnt look upscale... Look like it belongs in a ford.The Lexus on the other hand I saw inside an ES upclose yesterday that pulled into my job... damn what a interior
Imnahole 5pts @Mojojito And the cobbled together dash in the ES is? Both are uninspiring. Make your answers based on the question posed.
Relish 5pts @TravisB @Relish yes, it's a manufactured topic but the results are split. Maybe not 50/50 but more than I expected. As for sales, it will be a very long time before any Lincoln comes close to the ES (if ever), but maybe the MKS is the first step on that road. Time will tell.Of course, I've been reading stories about Lincoln's impending renaissance for my entire adult life, so I'll believe it when I see it. It sure would be nice, though.
vic1207 5pts @Logan814 that's not how it is in my college Because I've seen plenty of veranos regals lacrosses driven by college students driving around like a lot of them
Black Dynamite 5pts @doomsdaydev. @vtr You might want to read your post one more time there, pal....BD
doomsdaydev. 5pts @Black Dynamite @doomsdaydev. @vtr spelling is irrelevant. this is an anonymous internet post not a graduate thesis. what is also irrelevant is your red herring. you might want to study logic from time to time there pal....

Popular Science awarded the Nintendo Wii as "Best of What's New" in the category of home entertainment edging out a Samsung Blu-ray player, a Logitech MP3 player, some speakers, an LCD display, and a color-calibration device to name a few. From the article:
"Remember when videogames were fun? When the controllers had only a couple buttons and you didn't have to spend an hour learning the seven-step finger dance for "walk?" Nintendo does, so it took a step back, looked at its superpowered competitors, and took a totally different path with its new console ... Photo-real or not, [Wii] games will draw you in."
Who needs mass advertising when publicity and word of mouth is this positive? But if Nintendo isn't mass advertising...

San Diego's Antengo Marching to Next Round in Mobile Classified Ads
Bruce V. Bigelow11/26/12Follow @bvbigelow
Marcus Wandell tells me he was attending a music festival in New York City's Lower East Side in 2009, "getting price-gouged on a $12 beer," when he came up with the idea for Antengo. What if there was a mobile app that could help you find the nearby places to buy a less-expensive beer?
Since then, the concept has broadened beyond serving as a marketplace for finding deals at live events to encompass the universe of classified advertising.
"It started as a B2C play, but it has evolved into a peer-to-peer exchange" says Wandell, who was working in digital advertising for Microsoft at the time. Antengo's CEO says he interviewed 40 prospective co-founders before meeting Hunter Jensen, a Web and mobile app developer in San Diego. Jensen already had experience with online classified ads, but he was reluctant to leave San Diego, so they agreed to start the company here.
They founded Antengo in 2010, and in four months developed their flagship product—a free mobile app for iOS that provides a real-time, location-based platform for listing and selling anything from concert tickets to coffee makers.
Listings are just 144 characters, leading the company to describe its technology as "Craigslist meets Twitter for mobile."
In a little over two years, Antengo has featured more than 5 million classified ads and job postings. More recently, Wandell and Jensen have extended Antengo's core technology from … Next Page »

This allows you to add windows in any location on your scrapbook page, card, or other paper craft. The Starter Set comes with a reusable base, clear alignment grid, and an interchangeable square punch design. Here's how you make a punch.
Load the square cartridge into the base with the square design facing up. It will only fit in one direction, so there's no worry of loading it incorrectly. Press down until it clicks into place. To remove the cartridge later, press into the circle at the bottom of the base to release the cartridge. Lay your paper over the loaded base and top with the clear magnetic grid.
The magnets will automatically align the punch in the correct position. At this point you can move the paper around to the desired location as the punch will now stay in position. You can use the grid to help line up perfect repeat punches. Once you locate the spot you wish to punch, load the top square punch onto the grid (it will only fit one way) and press down. Now you have your punch anywhere you wish with limitless possibilities!
The other interchangeable designs currently available are a Circle, Scalloped Circle, and Scalloped Square. These are all versatile designs that can get a lot of mileage.
Now that we know how to use the Everywhere Punch, let's see it in action! Adding circle elements to a layout is a fun way to add lots of different little bits and pieces without all of the chaos. Each circle houses a little arrangement of something new.
In this birthday layout, I punched several circles from a sheet of yellow cardstock and filled each differently, from an embossed spiderweb to my journaling to a festive shaker box. Shaker boxes are a great use for the Everywhere Window Punch. Not only can you punch the cut-out design, but with the punch's flexibility, you can also punch the design out of a thin sheet of self-adhesive craft foam for a perfect seal instead of messing around with foam adhesive dots.
Here's how to make the shaker box shown. Punch a circle onto your cardstock and punch the same circle from a sheet of self-adhesive craft foam. Adhere a piece of transparency (or recycle some clear packaging) over back of cardstock circle window. Peel the backing from the foam and adhere aligned over the back of the punched cardstock circle. Fill with shaker filler (this confetti is simply assorted cardstock punched with the one quarter inch circle hand punch) and adhere a piece of cardstock to back to seal which will show through to the front when confetti is relaxed.
The Everywhere Punch is perfect for adding windows to cards. But the design can be elongated as shown in this card. I wanted my sentiment to show through the front of the card, but it was too long for any of the designs. An easy solution is to line up a row of overlapping scalloped squares to form a scalloped rectangle!
Make your first punch where you want the right side of your rectangle to begin. Then slide the punch down and align the first set of scallops of the design with the last set of scallops of the previous punch. Continue down the line until you reach desired width.
Here's another fun technique to use with the versatile Everywhere Window Punch. Punch a design into your cardstock and then feed small punches (such as the hand punches and pop-up punches) up through the center to add punches from within. Here I added a circle of butterflies using the Butterfly Pop-up Punch.
The freedom to add windows anywhere you wish can open up many new opportunities in crafting! From adding peek-through windows on your mini-album pages to treat and gift bags, the Everywhere Punch packs a lot of versatile punch!

David is an amazing lawyer and individual. Many times during my evening conversations concerning my case, David is responsive and attentive even after a hard days work at the office and while at home with his family. There were times while on the phone David told me to hold on while placing his child to sleep. Never did David say il call you back or call me in the morning. David Selzter at Seltzer Law is an outstanding person, family man and Lawyer. David truly understands your needs and believes in providing individuals a second chance when mistakes have been made. God bless David Seltzer.
Look no further. David is an amazing person and attorney. Not many attornies take their cases personal or answer their phone EVERY time you call, text, or email night or day..... Well, David does!!! AND HE WINS IN COURT!!!!! What seemed like an impossible verdict David made it possible. He knows just the right words to tell the Judge and at the right time which is very important. We couldn't ask for more from him. He truly outdid himself. We recommend David with our eyes closed. I hope we never have the need to retain a criminal defense attorney again in the future but if we do, David is who we will call without a doubt. He is a blessing to our family.
I won't be long on words to put display my gratitude for the professionalism, caring, understanding and compassion that David showed me when I was in my time of need. David was the friend that I needed from the moment he became my attorney. Whether it be him sending a message to check in on me or a call with updates about the case, David never left me feeling alone and restored my life to where it should be.
Thank you for everything you did for me.
I had already retained another legal firm for 6 months, and
was told that there was no hope for a verdict
in our favor. However, Mr. Seltzer reassured us,
and within one month had our case dismissed.
He listened to our concerns in a sensitive manner,
and was realistically positive. Excellent plus... the entire
staff was forthcoming with immediate information.
David Seltzer is a great attorney. He was quick to get my issues resolved and kept me up to date through out the process. I would recommend him to everyone who has any legal issues
David Seltzer is the type of lawyer you hope to hire when you face legal troubles for yourself or someone that you love. He is a true advocate who will vigorously defend you. He is very knowledgeable, honest and is prompt in returning phone calls, emails and answering any and all questions. His expert guidance made this stressful time easier for us and I have the utmost appreciation for the results he achieved in our case. I recommend him without hesitation.
When I was was arrested my wife contacted Mr. Seltzer and he immediately commenced arranging my bail and release. After much diligence and "working my case", he was able to get the charge entirely dropped. Not only was Mr. Seltzer dependable and trustworthy, he alleviated mine and my wifes fears, became a staunch defender of mine. He was knowledgable, always returned calls, and was most importantly HONEST. He never guaranteed anything he couldn't deliver and gave us a very concise scenario on what could happen. I know now we choose the right attorney. If you choose Mr. Seltzer, you will too. Thank you, Mr. Seltzer.
On behalf of myself, my son and wife, words are not sufficient to express our gratitude and appreciation towards David Seltzer for all his hard work and selfless dedication in the successful completion of our son's criminal case. David is a professional who is always available at different times ready to address our concerns. He has acted as a counselor, advisor and above all, a lawyer who has looked out for our best interests. David's extensive experience and skills as a defense attorney and prosecutor paid off in the dismissal of all charges against my son. If you want an aggressive attorney who is willing to go that extra mile, I can recommend David to anyone who is in need of legal services without any reservations. Thank you so much David, we are deeply indebted to you for giving us our lives back.
Words can not express the gratitude, I feel for David and Seltzer Law, Pa... Just writing these words now bring tears to my eyes. I was charged with Att. Second Deg. Murder, my job of 18 years and my livelihood hung solely on his representation. The whole ordeal was so surreal. However, David made me feel like I was apart of his family. I was not just a client. I could call at anytime if I had questions. He would also call me to keep me abreast of what was going on in my case and to make sure I was okay. My case was successfully dismissed. To God be the Glory. David is truly an angel sent by God to help. I highly recommend David and Seltzer Law, PA…He is more bang for your money. His price is reasonable compared to the level of stellar services he provides. May God continued blessing be upon you and your family.
I met David through the internet i spend the whole night on the computer looking for attorneys .
When I saw David there was something that I said this is the one im gonna hired. At first I was afraid cause i was going by his reviews and video post it on his website. Today im so happy I chose David. He was always there to answer all my questions , it dint matter if it was a Friday at at night time or a Sunday morning. There is no words for me to describe how hard he worked on my husband case, he just never gave up !!! I highly recommend David Seltzer !!! David is not only the BEST Attorney in South Florida he is a great person. Thank you for everything, you are the BEST!!

A dress photo could mean big online business for a UK retailer
Women's clothing brand Roman Originals has been inundated by calls since the photo became the center of an online debate.
The Illinois law tied online sales tax collection to affiliate marketing.
An Illinois law mandating online sales tax collection by e-retailers that maintain affiliates in the state was thrown out Wednesday by a Cook County Circuit judge.
Judge Robert Lopez Cepero ruled that the Main Street Fairness Act, enacted in March 2011, was invalid because e-retailers do not create a physical presence, or nexus, in the state simply through affiliate marketing relationships. Affiliate marketing refers to the practice of web site publishers such as blogs earning a cut of purchases from Amazon.com Inc. and other retailers made via product links on the smaller sites. Federal law allows tax collection only from online retailers that have a physical presence in a certain state; generally, this has been interpreted as such operations as stores, offices and warehouses, a view reinforced by Wednesday's ruling. The Illinois law and similar laws passed in other states attempt to widen what constitutes that physical presence.
The state's Department of Revenue has estimated that collecting sales taxes under the levy, which was commonly called an Amazon tax because of the retailer's prominence and large affiliate network, would bring in up to $170 million annually. State law already requires consumers to voluntarily remit such taxes to the state, but few shoppers do.
Cepero on Wednesday also said the Illinois law violates the 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act, which generally prohibits certain types of taxes on web use and transactions until Nov.1, 2014, as well as the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause, which gives the federal government oversight of interstate commerce.
The Department of Revenue was the defendant in the case. "We respectfully disagree with the court's ruling and are reviewing our appeal options with the Attorney General's office," says a spokeswoman for the revenue department. "We need to protect brick-and-mortar stores from an unlevel playing field."
The California-based Performance Marketing Association was the plaintiff. The trade group for affiliate marketers argued that the Illinois law was "premature," given the 2014 moratorium under the Internet Tax Freedom Act. "We are thrilled with the outcome of today's proceeding and believe it paves the way for Internet marketing affiliates to get back in business in Illinois," says Rebecca Madigan, the group's executive director. "We commend Judge Cepero for his timely and thoughtful decision."
The trade group estimates that 1,000 out-of-state retailers severed their ties with Illinois affiliates after the law was enacted, and that 9,000 affiliates were affected. "We do expect an appeal," she says. "Our attorneys indicated this may go straight to the Illinois Supreme Court, since we won on constitutional grounds.
Neither Amazon nor the state's Department of Revenue immediately responded to requests for comment.
Such laws in Illinois and other states have moved retailers such as Amazon, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, and Overstock.com Inc., No. 27, to cut ties with affiliates rather than run the risk of having to remit taxes for online purchases.
Online discount provider CouponCabin.com, which provides digital coupons that would be subject to taxes under the state's law, was based in Illinois but moved to Indiana because that state had no similar law. "This ruling places the responsibility for a solution back where it belongs: in Congress," says CEO Scott Kluth. "CouponCabin continues to strongly support a federal solution to the taxation of all online transactions."
Stephen Kranz, partner at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, will discuss the online tax issue at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 in Chicago in June in a session titled "The new urgency for developing a state sales tax strategy."

Alright this is just an updated X. i had alot of ideas in mind but i cant get them to function properly. Just as many updates in the V series were small, they led to bigger things. with source and everything this week it has been hard to stay focused on one rom. X3 will be a completely new beast. so for now pick V or X series. they work the same
EVOlutionX-This is a DroidX themed Froyo. its as reliable as V8 but now it has alot of motorola elements. i started Seem editing moto razrs so im going back to the beggining .
i recommend wiping everything then Flashing. IF you have V8 or Hero_overs rom, you might not HAVE to wipe because its froyo over froyo but if you experience problems, wipe then flash
This is a very visual rom. i love it so far. If you dont like it just restore your V8 or w/e. This is a new series of froyo roms so i will continue updating this with the V series.
sprint tv
all red
new bootscreen
new launcher
new live wallpaper
new market
new icons**
new froyo leak
wireless N
Ability to flash OC kernels
lots more!
So enjoy it.
New Series Changlog
-EVOlutionX-Droid theme. million extras.
-EVOlutionX2- Revamped everything. much faster, smoother.
================================================== ==========
Alright EVOV9 is based on FRF85B and has the Evo update applied. it fixed alot of little problems. Much more stable and smooth. This is considered very beta as the new updates kill alot of things, it was hard to get it right. 35+ test roms actually. I will be updating as problems are found. but the only things that are not fixed are mms, BTmono, cameras. everything else should work. I recommend a wipe coming from anything, but as always it may not be 100% needed coming from another froyo rom.
Please enjoy EVOlutionV9
Quirk- some people may get no sim card inserted at google login. just click back and it will fix it. this is one of the issues i have fixed but i will address them at a later time.
I will be adding patches, one for MMS fix and another with a white taskbar incase you dont like the black one.
You must flash coming from any rom. Go to market and download TITANIUM BACKUP. click (problems?) and install busybox. after that push menu and select batch. BACKUP ALL USER APPS. when its done you will then have all your apps backed up. then install rom, rinse, repeat.
for people who dont want use this because of cameras, i posted this up and i guess people dont think about it. Nandroid backup your 2.1. after its done wipe everything, flash this rom, set up the 2.2 rom to your liking, titanium backup works on froyo, and nandroid backup this rom. nandroids are sorted by date so just remember the earlier one is 2.1. you can rename but people say it messes up sometimes. then use froyo when you dont need cameras, and just wipe dalvik and restore 2.1 when you do. thats what i do and i love it.
Working-A2dp BT
Some mono headsets.
Video player
Not Working-
Cameras i am still in testing but i have not done all the tests yet so theres still hope
Froyo test 2-toasts current release.
Froyo test 3-Changed around xmls for mag sensors(accident) Fixed Bluetooth HW issue so now it starts and pairs. Fixed wifi reconnect issue.
Froyo test 4-Fixed all sensors. lights stay on for right now. Wifi works, Gps works, Bt works, no a2dp. 4G now works but no app to use.
Froyo test 5-Based on different froyo leak. many many changes. new boot.img. fixed bluetooth 100%. should fix bootloop
Froyo test 6-Completely Deodexed. more refined. no cameras same things apply from before but its more stable now. and now we can customize.
Froyo test 7-Cleaned up everything. Fixed lights and sensors. fixed market. added more BT. fixed roaming. fixed launcher lag. Overall much much faster. Haptic is still low to keep other fixes.
New changelog-
EVOlutionV8-Went back to V5 framework and apks. Fixed led, estrong file manager<jackedfromflipz>,fixed wifi issues, 3G issues, Better memory managment, added sense clock<fancy widget>, 100% FULLMARKET, fixed roaming, decreased JIT threshold for faster waketimes, improved stock audioEQ, Fixed news widget refresh, fixed GPS lock-on, fixed mag sensors.
EVOlutionV8RevA+B-added newer froyo, and oc ability
EVOlutionV9- Fixed all the little issues. Now based on newest leaks and added the evo updated files. Theme by nexus devs. The only things that dont work now are cameras, mono BT, and mms. mms should be fixed this week.
Recommendations- i want to include this as i know how it is just starting android rooting. when your start flashing roms, the first thing you do is look for flaws. now these little things kept me from going to roms. the biggest problem i forget is that there are apps out there that can replace the small ones.
Handcent-Ultimate msging app. i suggest you download this, go into the stock msg app and disable notifications. this will help with Voicemail issues.
Rootexplorer- you must have this. it is one amazing app
Better keyboard- the stock skin on this beats anything i have used. i recommend this app also.
Titanium backup- USE THIS AND BACKUP ALL APPS WEEKLY!!!
i will add to this as i continue. and one very very important thing, i got my htc hero in november. i didnt join XDA until january but i downloaded roms from day1. leave comments!!!! as a developer the most important thing is not how many people use your rom or how much money you make. its all about you all telling us you love our rom. theres no greater feeling than sitting down for 6 hours at a time and fixing issues and hearing thanks. so this is just something to think about thanks for the support everyone
Credits-Toast for first build!!! Without that i would be working on something else
Credits go to the the nexus forum where i got the icons
-thanks to the dev who found wireless N
-anyone i forget, i do not in any way shape or form want to take away from other developers. if i forgot you please pm me and i will include you and get you the credit you deserve.

SACRAMENTO, August 4, 2005 – With more prizes and more winners than ever before, the California State Lottery broke a 20-year record by posting $3.33 billion in sales for fiscal year 2004-2005. Additionally, the California State Lottery will transfer $1.17 billion to California's public education, making this the fifth consecutive year to transfer more than $1 billion.
The highly popular Scratchers® games brought in more than half of all ticket sales revenue at more than $1.73 billion, an increase of $400,000,000! SuperLotto Plus and MEGA Millions generated $1.11 billion, while Fantasy 5, Daily 3, Hot Spot and Daily Derby brought in $487 million. The new MEGA Millions game, introduced during the last two weeks of the fiscal year, was a hit with players and broke the first day ticket sales record by bringing in $2.4 million.
"The California State Lottery awarded more prizes, more often and players responded in droves," said Chon Gutierrez, Acting Director of the California State Lottery. "We shattered sales records and had the best year ever in the California State Lottery's 20-year history. By implementing some of the industry's best practices, the Lottery team was able to offer our players more chances to win and more reasons to play."
With an unprecedented $1.79 billion in prizes paid out, more Lottery players felt the excitement and shared in the winning experience. Twenty-eight players in California became millionaires, earning $516,000,000 from SuperLotto Plus jackpots and "The Big Spin" show. The Lottery also awarded a SuperLotto Plus jackpot of $100 million shared by four winners!
The Lottery released several exciting Scratchers tickets. The very popular $3 Scratchers tickets – newly released Crossword and the player's favorite Bingo continued to be crowd pleasers and contributed to the best sales year ever. On May 19, 2005 the Lottery was the first in the nation to release collectible Star Wars Scratchers, in conjunction with the arrival of the most anticipated theatrical release in history, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. The $5 tickets continued to be highly requested by our players.
"We love to see the insanely long lines for Scratchers and lotto tickets. The Lottery's done a fantastic job of coming out with new games that get my customers' attention and bring them into my store," said Frank Kumamoto, owner of Bluebird Liquor in Hawthorne. "The Lottery's $5 ticket is clearly the most popular with our players because it offers more prizes. We just can't keep it in stock!"
The sales force behind this record-breaking year was the more than 18,000 hard working retailers throughout California.
"Our customers love to play Scratchers and go absolutely crazy when the Super Lotto Plus and MEGA Millions jackpots reach new heights. The Lottery continues to add more fun and excitement to the games and that gives my customers another reason to come in again and again," said Michelle Czekaia, Store Manager for Gold Ranch Lottery in Floriston.
