The Louisville-area All-District football teams were selected last week by the Greater Louisville Football Coaches Association.
LaRue County's Koy Lindsey was named to both offense and defense all-district in Class 3-A, District 3.
The freshmen Lady Hawks fell 24-35 Dec. 11 to Green County.
Kristen Boone was the high scorer for LaRue with 13 points. Emma Bell added 7.
The Lady Hawks struggled with Green County's size in the post and gave up too many easy baskets off offensive rebounds.
Two seasons ago, Josh Jaggers was voted Class 3-A, District 3 Coach of the Year by his fellow district coaches. On his 33rd birthday, Jaggers was out of a coaching job.
After a brisk meeting Thursday with LaRue County administrators who he would not name, Jaggers resigned Friday morning and promptly met with the team he had coached for the past three seasons.
Jaggers said he did have the "full support" of LaRue County High School Principal Kyle Goodlett and Athletic Director David Dawson when it came to running the program.
The LaRue County Middle School Mat Hawks finished in ninth place out of 16 teams Saturday at the Taylor County Cardinal Duals in Campbellsville.
The Mat Hawks finshed 1-2 in their opening pool round, with losses to Taylor County (66-18), and narrowly to Shamrock (40-36). The win came against the tournament team comprised of extra wrestlers (54-18). After the opening pool round the Mat Hawks reeled off three straight dual victories against Bardstown (57-18), Scott County (45-30), and McCreary County (66-18).

Casey County is undefeated in the Conference.

Leading scorers: Mason Bandurske 13, Chase Childress 11, Matthew Lewis 11
MUNFORDVILLE – The LaRue County Hawks earned their first win of the season Friday with a 60-46 defeat of 18th District foe Hart County.
Senior guard Micah Wiseman 14 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and went 10-for-10 from the foul line.
Wiseman scored the fourth quarter's first five points. He converted a three-point play after grabbing a missed 3-pointer on one of his game-high 10 rebounds. He then sank two free throws to give LaRue County (1-2, 1-0 district) a 44-34 lead with 7:10 to go.
MUNFORDVILLE — Freshman guard Mallory Williams hit a 3-pointer off an assist from senior forward Alyson Yingling, giving visiting LaRue County a 23-point lead over 18th District rival Hart County in the third quarter Friday night.
But as the Lady Hawks soon found out, it's not over until it's over.
The Lady Raiders whittled away at the lead, pulling to within eight points in the fourth period, but LaRue County did just enough down the stretch to hold on, 53-44.
The LaRue County Mat Hawks won both matches of a tri-meet Wednesday, taking on Louisville Central and Fort Knox at home.
The Hawks defeated Louisville Central, 66-12; and dropped one match to Fort Knox, winning 66-6.
"We saw a lot of good things out of the team," said Head Coach Eric Burrell, in his second season. "Team camaraderie was there, intensity was there, we worked some new things and we were successful doing those things. Our team is really coming together as of now and it is exciting to see."
The LaRue County High School Cheerleaders took second in their division at the Kentucky Horse Park's Alltech Arena in the third annual KHSAA Competitive Cheer Championships.
The competition featured 77 squads spread among six divisions.
LaRue County (269.1 points) was second in the 15-squad all-girl small division.
Coach Renee Wright said the squad set a goal to finish in the top-10 at State.

Led onto the field for the first time by new field commander Lucas Hampton, Grant County Marching Band started the season off with a bang as they brought home Reserve Grant Champion behind a fellow Grant County band, the Williamstown Band of Spirit.
They performed their repertoire "4" at 3 p.m. at the 19th annual Beechwood High School Festival of Bands and later competed in finals among 10 other bands.
The officers and committee chairmen for the Grant County Future Farmers of America chapter attended the Kentucky FFA Leadership Training Center July 20-24.
The following members attended: President Tyler Spillman, Vice President Nicole Courtney, Secretary Mattie Kuechler, Sentinel Amanda Mills, Historian Jake Denney, Parliamentarian Tyler Holder and members Tyler Courtney, Clarissa Stoots, Cody Fornash and Cheyenne Miracle, along with advisors Sarah Baker and Richard Gater.
For the past 29 years, Duke University in North Carolina has offered students in the 7th grade from 16 states to participate in the Duke Talent Identification Program (TIP). A student must score a 95 percent in any area on their state test to qualify for the TIP Program.
This year, five students from Williamstown were able to participate. The following students signed up to take the ACT college exam as seventh graders: Macy Goetz, Jordan Howard, Hannah Kinsey, Logan Osborne and Tucker Trenary.
The stands were packed with fans as The Williamstown Band of Spirit won the Grand Champion banner in Ft. Mitchell on Sept. 12 at the 2009 Beechwood High School Festival of Bands.
Earlier in the day, Williamstown swept the Class A Preliminary Competition, winning first place, as well as outstanding music, visual and overall effect honors; paving the way for a spot in finals competition later in the evening.
One at a time, 11 bands took the field for finals, with Williamstown performing in the seventh time slot.
When Grant County schools started their school year on Aug. 13, 308 freshmen started their first day of high school.
Brittnie Seibert had expectations for the start of her high school career.
"I knew the classes would be hard but it would be more fun because we would have opportunities to do stuff we didn't do in middle school," she said.
Last year, the eighth grade class came to the high school to look around the school, learn their way and meet the teachers.
This past summer, Kilian Altman got to work as a page for Rep. Royce Adams in the Kentucky House of Representatives. He got to see first hand the ins and outs of how bills are passed. He learned how much representatives put in to get bills passed.
Altman became interested in politics during the presidential elections. He watched the debtates and town hall meetings every night. He would then discuss his views.
He enjoyed going to Frankfort and working as a page and found the work to be rewarding.
Western Kentucky University
Three students from Grant County have been named to Western Kentucky University's dean's list and two have been named to the president's list for the spring 2009 semester.
Students making the dean's list have a grade point average of 3.4 to 3.79 on a 4.0 scale. Students on the president's list have a GPA of 3.8 to 4.0.
The students from Grant County honored are:
• Crittenden – Jacqueline Elliott, dean's list
UK names students to dean's list
Thirteen students from Grant County have been named to The University of Kentucky's dean's list for the spring 2009 semester.
To make a dean's list in one of the UK colleges, a student must earn a grade point average of 3.6 or higher and must have earned 12 credits or more in that semester, excluding credits earned in pass-fail classes. Some UK colleges require a 3.5 GPA to make the Dean's List.
A total of 4,166 students achieved Dean's List recognition.
Back-To-School events are being planned at various schools in the Grant County School District. Those events include:
• Crittenden-Mount Zion
Redi-Fest for all returning students will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 28. Parents/guardians should stop by and review/update personal information on file for each student, pick up supply lists and other school information.
A Holmes High School graduate received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Transylvania University on May 23 during a commencement ceremony on the front steps of historic Old Morrison.
Amanda Jean Meadows graduated with a degree in biology, French language and literature. Meadows is the daughter of Gary Meadows of Williamstown and Deborah Meadows of Taylor Mill.

Trex Company Honored For Manufacturing 'Greenest' Decking
Trex Company (NYSE: TREX), the world's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, recently took top honors in the decking products category of the Green Builder Media 2012 Reader's Choice Brand Study. More than 50 percent of readers who participated in the study selected Trex ® decking as the "greenest" in the industry.
Built on green principles and values, Trex products offer a truly environmentally responsible choice to consumers. As the largest plastic bag recycler in the United States, Trex annually turns approximately three billion recycled plastic bags into eco-friendly outdoor living products. In addition, Trex salvages and keeps more than 400 million pounds of plastic and wood scrap out of landfills each year.
"As an industry leader, we feel a responsibility both to set the standard for eco-friendly outdoor living products and manufacturing processes and to help solve today's environmental challenges," said Ron Kaplan, chairman, president and CEO of Trex. "This recognition from the readers of Green Builder is especially significant as it confirms consumers are knowledgeable about and appreciative of the ways in which Trex works to protect the environment."
On a community level, Trex participates in a variety of recycling initiatives that promote environmental education and responsibility. Through the Plastic Bag Challenge, Trex partners with grade schools to collect plastic bags in return for benches made of wood-alternative materials. The company also regularly seeks third-party audits to ensure continuous improvement of its green practices. In fact, Trex is the first company in the wood-alternative decking industry to receive an International Code Council Evaluation Service® (ICC-ES) SAVE Verification for Recycled Content – confirming that all composite Trex products contain a minimum of 95.4 percent recycled content.
The January issue of Green Builder magazine will include comprehensive data from the 2012 Reader's Choice Brand Study. Green Builder Media is the leading North American company in the residential building industry focused on green building and responsible growth. It provides information that inspires a commitment to sustainable living. For more information about Trex and its products, visit trex.com.

Windows-integrated CVS client
Access CVS servers and local files inside Explorer with this free shell-integrated client.
CVS, aka the Concurrent Version System, lets software developers access a centrally maintained project via a client-server architecture, which helps keep versions under control. TortoiseCVS is a free CVS client that integrates itself into the Windows shell with context menu entries as well as tortoise icons identifying all CVS-controlled files. It replaces the command-line CVS interface and lets you view and edit CVS-controlled files from inside Windows Explorer. The program's name and mascot play on the Windows shell association (the mascot even has a name, Charlie Vernon Smythe), which is fairly unique to TortoiseCVS, since most CVS clients run in their own windows.
Though TortoiseCVS does its thing from inside Windows, its Start Menu folder offers not only user's guides in several languages but also accesses the program's tabbed Preferences page. This dialog let us set basic operational parameters such as icon overlays, program policies, and editing options; configure tools like the Diff, Merge, and SSH applications; clear the program's caches; set ignored files; and even configure icon options and font colors for various file types. The User's Guide is in the form of a searchable Windows Help file; it does a terrific job of explaining not just the program but also the basics of CVS. To use TortoiseCVS, you "check out" a "sandbox," a local copy of project files. You make changes to the sandbox and "Commit" them to the file repository. Many open source projects let users check out anonymous read access copies of project files. This is a great way to check out TortoiseCVS, too, though you don't even need a server, thanks to the program's modular architecture. To create a personal repository, we simply created a folder with version-controlled files, right-clicked it, selected Make New Menu and locally mounted repository protocol, confirmed the selection, and clicked OK. After that, we could access our files under CVS.
So how does TortoiseCVS work? Pretty well, but then the basic program has been in use since 2000, so it's both robust and refined. The tabbed dialog views are easy to navigate, with check boxes, drop-down lists, and clearly labeled entry fields, and the color-coded text simplifies differentiating data. Its modular environment provides great flexibility, letting users keep open just what they want and where they want it. There's lots of information and support online for new users, too.

General Manager
Real estate property taxes in Eminence could increase soon, though the impact on homeowners is expected to be minimal.
During last week's Eminence City Council meeting, City Clerk Sandra Doane recommended the rate recommended by the state is 29.9 cents per $100 assessed value, a 0.1-percentage point increase. That change, Doane told the council, equates to $10 more per year for a $100,000 home, or an increase of 83-cents per month.

The Henry County Public School district will hold a public hearing at the Henry County Board of Education tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. to hear comments on a general fund tax levy. The annual increase provides a four percent raise in revenue for schools.
Superintendent Tim Abrams said contrary to some public perception this is not a four percent tax increase.
When you think of a 750-student co-ed college cruise, what comes to mind? A lot of hard studying and modest clothing, right?
Okay, maybe not. But Cameran Smith of Campbellsburg said that is exactly the kind of cruise she will participate in this fall, although the semester-long international cruise wasn't on her radar until June 10.
He always knew this day would come.
Since the tender age of 19, Jeff Bramel has been involved in ministry. Now, at 31, Bramel is taking on his first assignment — pastor at Pleasureville United Methodist Church.
Pleasureville United Methodist Church welcomed the new pastor in June.
"I've been in the ministry since I was 19," Bramel said. "God has been preparing me for this for several years."
A well-known figure in Eminence plead not guilty to charge of first degree rape in Henry County District Court.
James W. "Foxy" Wright, 57, was arrested Aug. 8th and charged with the class B felony.
The arrest was based on a complaint filed by an adult woman with the Eminence Police Department. The victim's name has not been released.
It's all about prevention.
HCPS district school nurse Melissa Jeffries said a letter will be sent to the homes of all students this week outlining the district's commitment to flu prevention.
Jeffries said HCPS is taking its direction from the Centers for Disease Control and the Kentucky Department of Education.
After more than three days of testimony, Steve Elston has been convicted of reckless homicide.
Elston was charged with second degree murder in the July 6, 2008, shooting death of Joseph Burch. The jury deliberated less than two hours before returning a verdict — one of five options presented by Judge Karen A. Conrad.
The options included finding Elston not guilty, guilty of the original charge, or guilty of one of three lesser charges.
The following facts are not in dispute in the trial of Robert Steven Elston.
On July 6, 2008 Elston pulled the trigger of a .44-caliber magnum discharging one bullet into the chest of Joseph D. Burch, 31, killing the younger man almost instantaneously.
Elston, whose defense team will argue he fired in self-defense, was charged with second-degree murder.
As he sat in court during the trial, he appeared calm and lucid, smiling at family members as he was seated and to whom he clearly wanted to speak.
Eminence is reviving the tradition of Eminence Day on Saturday, Aug. 8. Mayor Jim Pettit and organizers promise a day to remember.
"There hasn't been an Eminence Day at least since I've been in office," he said, "but the council decided they wanted to run with it."
Lee Ann Armstrong is one of three council members who helped organize the event.
For HCHS students Aaron Wedge and Clint Diven it was a very cool way to end summer vacation.
The 16-year olds traveled to five European destinations as student ambassadors through the People to People program.
"There were 29 from Kentucky," Wedge said, "and we met other groups from Maryland, New York and Texas." The Kentucky delegation was matched with the one from Colorado.
The first stop on what was billed as Traditions of Europe was Cahersiveen, Ireland.

A designer's life nowadays is very hectic. We have to keep up with our clients, our finances, our personal life, our professional life, and generally anything on the internet. Our minds are constantly racing while we try to multi-task everything at once. However, keeping track of all of that will get in the way of the most important part of being a designer, designing. If you're checking Facebook and your emails all the time, where can you fit in design?
When to offer extra services to your design clients
Have you ever started working on a design project for a client, only to realize that they need a lot of design work done in more than one area of their business? For example: I was hired to design a web site for a local entertainment center and realized that they also needed a whole new branded look including business cards, flyers, and (of course) the web site that they hired me to do. I realized in that moment, that
The freelancer's plateau (and how to overcome it)
In the career of every freelance designer comes a plateau; a moment when you simply can't make any more money because you don't have any more time to give to your business. This has always been the inherent problem with freelance designing: no matter how hard you work, there are only 24 hours in a day. Once you max out your hours, you can't make more money without raising your rates. If you haven't hit this plateau yet, you will.
Charging for freelance design: by the hour or per project?
Have you ever found yourself pulling your hair out over how much to charge for a design project? It can be very frustrating and usually ends up costing you more time (and thus money) than it should. There is some debate on the merits of having an hourly rate that you charge for everything, or setting prices for certain design services and sticking to those. There are definitely pros and cons to both methods, and it really ends up depending
Take your design career to the next level with a freelancing mentor
Have you been freelancing for a while now with less success than you had hoped for when you started out? Maybe you're just getting started on the freelance scene and feel like a fish out of water. Whatever concerns you have about freelancing, many of them can be resolved with a freelancing mentor. What is a freelancing mentor? The concept of finding a freelance mentor is not a new one. Plenty of freelancers do it. A freelancing mentor is simply
How to keep your design business and personal finances separate
Keeping your personal and business lives separate is important in many aspects of freelancing, including your finances.
The best tools for tracking freelance design spending
In many peoples' personal financial world, the method is spend and forget. When you're running a business, however, it pays to spend and remember. Keeping track of your spending can help you spend wiser and even save money. Any money you spend on your business can be deducted at the end of the year on your taxes. Basically this subtracts the amount you spent on the business from your taxable income and lowers your taxes some. Believe me when I

ESAPI: Porting Security Methods to PHP
Andrew van der Stock from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is porting Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) methods to PHP.
ESAPI defines security measures which protect web applications from typical attacks, such as cross site scripting and SQL injection. The documentation aims to prevent developers replicating security methods and helps them avoid mistakes.
A reference Java Edition of the OWASP ESAPI toolkit already exists, but Stock is working on a PHP version. In his blog, he reports that the essentials have passed the first set of unit tests in the exceptions class.
Van der Stock is looking for assistance from other PHP developers. His project website can be found at the OWASP wiki.

A fifteen year medical study conducted in China in the 1970s and 1980s, involving one hundred men between the ages of twenty four and fifty three who suffered from ED, found that acupuncture treatment helped sixty three of them to have normal sexual intercourse twice a week. Ten other men were able to have intercourse once a week, while there was no improvement in the remaining thirteen men who completed the study.
Long known and trusted in Chinese traditional medicine, acupuncture has only recently begun to gain acceptance in the American medical community. This method of treating disorders is based on the theory of energy paths, called meridians that connect to various parts of the body. By placing tiny needles in the right spots, the theory is that an acupuncturist can release blocked energy and restore proper function to the organ. According to people who have undergone acupuncture, there is little or no pain. In some cases, several treatments are needed before relief is obtained. Of course, acupuncture will not work for all ailments. Does it work for erection problems?
While these results sound promising, the question is, what was the cause of these men's erectile difficulties? Was it psychological or organic or both? Unfortunately, we do not have this information, so we are unable to draw any conclusions regarding acupuncture's effectiveness relating to cause. If you suffer from ED and would like to try acupuncture, be sure to consult your doctor first. And be certain to check out the training and experience of any acupuncturist you visit.

4.5 IF THE ENDING WAS BETTER,FIVE STARS HONESTBAZ | 10/08/2011 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299) Now i get it. After all these years of hearing people say it's a really good book but the end is ridiculous,i thought it's about flippin' time i read it.I am glad i read it because for the most part it's a really thrilling read,you find yourself wondering what will happen next. I admit that now and again i got a little bored with some chapters,but a lot of the chapters are short,so i found that easy to forgive.It truely is a compelling,brilliantly written book that i was enjoying and couldn't wait to get back to ...and then the last few chapters! WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL?! DO WHAT?I don't get it. Why after hundreds of pages of brilliantly written,thrilling story did the author do that with the characters?I don't want to spoil the end so i won't say exactly what happens,but it's no wonder JODIE FOSTER wanted nothing to do with the film,fearing it would go the same way as the book. It's just ridiculous,it's as if THOMAS HARRIS got bored come the end and decided to just put any ol' thing down.This was better than SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in my opinion,but that end is just stupid and somewhat insulting to the reader,expecting them to just accept that is how the story goes. I mean,knowing the characters,why would it?Granted,it's his book,he can do what he wants with it,but...sigh,i don't get it.Anyone tempted to read this,i would advise do,but just prepare yourself for a bonkers ending. Heck,you might like it.If it wasn't for this ending,i would say it is easily a five star book. Such a pity.
4.5 one of the best books you'll ever read kirsty5510 | 13/05/2010 | See all kirsty5510's reviews (3) One of the best books you'll ever read, i couldn't put it down. It is absolutely terrifying and in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. But obviously you must read the first two before this one..... I wish I could forget it so that I could read it again, truly awesome.
4.5 Awful Brausch | 01/12/2007 | See all Brausch's reviews (187) A book so bad its hard to know where to begin, I'm still not sure whether it was written as a straight thriller or a parody of Lambs. The constant lists of Lector's fussy habits and products he insists on makes him seem less a cultured aesthete and more like Frasier with anti-social dining habits. The gothic excess of a mad, disfigured millionaire who collects children's tears in a Martini glass, the problem that killer pigs are funny and some plot howlers like the way Italian police (who are either stupid or corrupt here) can play a Nintendo game on a PC but can't access its files and there's THAT ending, utterly defying logic or established character.

Gaming, a hobby largely despised by the mainstream press and much maligned as a pastime of the basement dweller, the social recluse, the spotty nerd. Anyone in the games community knows that, in reality, it is increasingly made up of a group of varied, diverse and flawed people. There isn't one stereotype that unites us; we haven't all been bullied, we didn't all get straight A grades at school and we're not all dudes.
And yet, there's a subculture of people who are so determined to retain the 'gamer' crown, uphold its dirty stereotype and keep out anyone who they perceive to be unlike them, that they will participate in the very bullying they supposedly despise. They will create a campaign centred on targeting large swathes of predominantly women writers who they feel are a threat to their precious, precious games.
#GamerGate has fostered such threat and hostility, both from those at the centre and those pulled into it on a false pretext, that it has actively forced some women out of the industry altogether. Brave, unique and vital voices have been hounded to breaking point.
We can separate those involved in #GamerGate into two basic groups (ignoring, of course, the jilted ex) – firstly, we have the 4channers, those at the centre of the movement who sought to harass, abuse and tear down so-called Social Justice Warriors and deliberately mislead others using the hashtag. Secondly, we have the Adopters, those who bought into the narrative of #GamerGate as a movement about journalistic integrity and about fighting back against journalists sullying the gamer name, inadvertently promoting the cause of the 4channers.
The 4channers at the centre of #GamerGate and #NotYourShield have had their true priorities revealed, to strip power and agency from prominent women and men seeking to better the industry. To attempt to tear down the limited progress the games industry has made, to turn games media's own recognition of oppression back on itself by creating sockpuppet accounts, in the misguided belief that they would be listened to without question. These people are abusers and fantasists who succeeded in leading others in order to gang up on, bully and harass those they disagree with.
The fact that 'gamers', developers and gaming sites bought into #GamerGate as a legitimate movement is nothing short of an embarrassment. They were manipulated by a pathetic pantomime act playing make-believe, a group of children who ran away to their den to plot the collapse of the gaming community. When I say 'children' that applies to these people no matter their age; they are mentally stunted aged 12 and ¾, incapable of empathy and naming their abuse campaign an 'Operation' and treating it as an opportunity to recreate their own Tom Clancy-esque desires.
From 'maybe we should listen to them' to changing policies, many in the gaming press were taken in by the call for greater journalistic integrity that concealed the true motive of #GamerGate. The ruse designed to make people in positions of power more amenable to their demands, while rendering those relying on audience support and freelance work even more vulnerable to their attacks. In 2007 readers didn't trust games journalists; in 2014 games journalists can no longer trust their readers.
The fact that this subculture exists, occasionally making itself known in the comment sections – long written off as the breeding ground of loathsome, odious opinions of entitled children – and seemingly finding its home on 4chan is a somewhat scary prospect. Their fantasy continues as they send out 'orders' to 'regroup' next year and yet we're expected to accommodate and babysit this group of cockroaches, the walls of their bedroom plastered with gaming posters and scantily clad women who they want to control and abuse. Although they're scuttling back to their holes now, these children with ability for hacking combined with a hatred of women, obsession with games and an intense jealousy of games journalists will resurface.
That someone had to trawl through their logs in order to prove #GamerGate as a farce and defend themselves and their colleagues says something about our acceptance of these comments at face value. Although some had genuine concerns, at the heart of this movement was an attempt to seek out and demonise writers the 4channers define as Other. The way #GamerGate was created, promoted and eventually fell apart is damaging to the games community as a whole, #GamerGate's outright abuse and fanatical conception has truly lived up to the outside world's idea of gamers.
In the second group, the Adopters, we have a group of people who identify deeply with the gamer title and stereotype, who will happily buy into a flimsy narrative-come-witch hunt in order to feel part of a group, to feel purpose. At a base level, these people bought into a movement that was ultimately centred on not wanting to share games with anyone outside their defined circle of 'gamer'. While the 4channers, happy to hack people for their own depraved motives, hardly deserve our time, the Adopters leave us with questions to ask.
The fact that such a seemingly large group of people in the gaming community could so easily buy into sexist and abusive logic without questioning it and could so readily buy into MS Paint mock ups as evidence of corruption without any independent thought of their own, leaves me asking how we can move on from this while knowing that these people exist in our community, waiting for the next target to be pointed out for them.
While the easiest, and most attractive, option is to leave them alone, ignore them and sweep them under the carpet; that leaves the opportunity for more pressure and anger to build, and thereby more fuel for influential people like the 4channers to latch onto and harness. Some would argue that we should interact with these people, convince them of our way of thinking and show them that they're buying into a crock of shit but that's easier said than done when there are hundreds, or even thousands of these people who all give ten @ replies to one tweet and continue to exist on forums spreading hatred as gospel.
There isn't one true solution to this; no one can provide an answer to all the questions and anxieties this month of abuse has caused. The audience of games journalists is made up of a lot of angry people, a lot of easily led people but, equally, a lot of loving, caring and well-meaning people.
If we maintain Business as Normal, continue to produce and consume meaningful, challenging and interesting critiques of games, do what we can to cultivate a culture of inclusivity that questions the norm and absolutely does not accept abuse or harassment and calls it out at every opportunity, maybe we can keep the good people who haven't yet fled. Maybe we can change things and create a community that seeks to do better. If not, we can keep going for the many good people who do appreciate our work and fuck the rest.

While many of the proteins required for autophagy have been identified, the source of the membrane of the autophagosome is still unresolved with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), endosomes, and mitochondria all having been evoked. The integral membrane protein Atg9 is delivered to the autophagosome during starvation and in the related cytoplasm-to-vacuole (Cvt) pathway that occurs constitutively in yeast. We have examined the requirements for delivery of Atg9-containing membrane to the yeast autophagosome. Atg9 does not appear to originate from mitochondria, and Atg9 cannot reach the forming autophagosome directly from the ER or early Golgi. Components of traffic between Golgi and endosomes are known to be required for the Cvt pathway but do not appear required for autophagy in starved cells. However, we find that pairwise combinations of mutations in Golgi-endosomal traffic components apparently only required for the Cvt pathway can cause profound defects in Atg9 delivery and autophagy in starved cells. Thus it appears that membrane that contains Atg9 is delivered to the autophagosome from the Golgi-endosomal system rather than from the ER or mitochondria. This is underestimated by examination of single mutants, providing a possible explanation for discrepancies between yeast and mammalian studies on Atg9 localization and autophagosome formation.

Review: Moto Free offers a fine motorcycle sound effect, but it could use customization
Rev your engine with this app that makes fun motorcycle sounds.
Moto Free is a fun app for motorcycle fans, but it could use more sound effects and customization. The clever use of your phone's motion sensors doesn't make up for the lack of options inside of the free version of this app. While it will turn your phone or tablet into handlebars really quickly, you may grow tired of it just as fast.
This app turns your phone's screen into a motorcycle handlebar. Revving it -- which you can do by swiping your finger up the handlebar or turning your phone toward you like you would a regular handlebar -- causes your "engine" to make one of three different sounds. The force you use to rev the engine dictates the sound and you can make your screen flash if you rev hard enough. The three sounds are all authentic, but they're only marginally different from one another. You can't do anything to change your handlebars or anything else in Moto Free without paying for the premium version, as well.
Moto Free is a fun novelty, but it won't win any awards or faithful followers. In fact, most people might get more use out of a soundboard, since it would have more sound effects to choose from. Still, it's hard to deny how fun "revving" your smartphone's engine is the first few times you do it.

Princess Letizia's Royal Style Featured in Time Magazine
Princess Letizia has hit a high note fashion-wise. Earlier this year, the princess was named to Vanity Fair magazine's Best Dressed List for 2009, where she came in at number 2. However, Vanity Fair isn't the only non fashion-focused magazine to notice Letizia. The Times has recently featured her in an article that focuses on her fashions.
Since the announcement of her engagement to Crown Prince Felipe of Spain in 2003, the world has taken notice of Letizia. The former Letizia Ortiz worked as a journalist before her marriage to Felipe. Her style often reflected this at the beginning of their marriage. Letizia often relied on serious-looking business suits for public engagements. Over the years, as she has grown more comfortable with her role as a princess, Letizia has become more fashionable. Her wardrobe features the work of many Spanish designers, from the affordable Zara to the more exclusive Felipe Varela. The princess has become known for her love of platform shoes and form-fitting silhouettes. Her clothing has become brighter, and she has steered herself away from the "news anchor" look of 2003. The article in Time quotes Spanish journalist Maria Jose Iglesias, who says, "she has done more for Spanish fashion in the last five years than decades of catwalks and advertisments".

AD TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES: Public investors are used to home run investments in new technology companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter. But there's a whole other class of "ad tech" companies–more like online ad companies–that haven't proved to be such winners for investors. The list includes YuMe, Rocket Fuel, Tremor Media and Millennial Media. While their revenues are growing at a healthy clip, their losses are ballooning even faster, WSJ reports. And these are not the kind of stocks where investors are willing to overlook the lack of profits in favor of growth. Since January, Rocket Fuel Inc. is down 73%; YuMe Inc., 38%; Tremor Video Inc., 46%; Millennial Media, 66%; and Rubicon Project Inc. down 27%. WSJ's story suggests that one factor behind the stock sell off is that the average investor can barely understand what these companies do. At the same time, one thing investors can understand is Google, which is making a big play in the ad tech space, making it even tougher for these smaller companies. "Google casts a big shadow," said Kerry Rice, senior analyst at Needham & Company LLC. And Facebook and AOL are coming on strong in this sector–meaning that shadow is about to get a lot larger.
IPG GETTING EXPERT ADVICE: The ad agency holding company Interpublic Group is working with longtime advisors Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley, WSJ reports, as it prepares to meet with activist investor Elliott Management Corp. Elliott said last month it had acquired a 6.7% stake in Interpublic. The word is it wants Interpublic to push for a sale. Seems this episode will play out through the fall.
TOGETHER WE GIVE PRANKS: Defy Media, which owns young-skewing media brands like Break.com and Smosh, long ago made prank videos a staple of its offerings. But now Defy wants to go straight, in a sense, CMO Today reports. Starting around April Fool's Day this year, Break unleashed a series of "positive pranks"–such as providing a group of homeless shelter visitors a four star restaurant-type meal. The 10 videos–under the marketing banner "Prank it Forward"–did so well that Defy wants to try and make positive pranking a cause lots of its sites take on, hopefully culminating in a big pop culture moment at Thanksgiving. It just so happens that marketers like this positive pranking thing as well, and Defy plans to enlist lots of "Prank it Forward" sponsors. And since these pranks take a while to arrange, Defy is starting to solicit pranking candidates this week, during these last few days of summer.

VIACOM DEFIES VIDEO CHATTER: Viacom has invested in Defy Media–the Web video company formed last year when Break Media and Alloy Digital merged, reports WSJ's CMO Today. That deal is probably a safe way for Viacom to get closer to the emerging generation of Web video creators–like Defy's Smosh–rather than through an outright acquisition. As part of the new partnership between Defy and Viacom, Defy is taking ownership of three digital properties Viacom purchased in the late 2000s: Shockwave, Addicting Games and Game Trailers. Viacom made a slew of digital purchases around that time after reportedly striking out on MySpace, including Atom Films and Xfire. None of these deals really amounted to much. That history is probably why Viacom doesn't want to run out and buy a Fullscreen for a billion today. But instead, Viacom can lean on Defy's expertise in short form video, while possibly unearthing the next MTV, Comedy Central and Spike TV stars from its new Web farm team. Read More »

How to replicate the contents of a custom data class up to a top level Symantec Management Platform server
Article:HOWTO77400 | | | Created: 2012-08-08 | | | Updated: 2012-08-08 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO77400 |
*Please NOTE: The following process has not undergone standard product QA, and is not considered a supported process. Current real-world results show that it works, but still be cautious and backup the applicable databases before executing this process.
You created a custom data class on your parent Symantec Management Platform server. This custom data class will replicate down to the lower level servers in your hierarchy during the standard delta hierarchy replication schedule. Once the data class on the lower level servers are populated with data, hierarchy will not handle sending this data up to the top tier server. This is accomplished by creating a resource replication rule.
In order to create a resource replication rule follow these steps. Pay close attention that you click on the link next to Data Classes first, and not the Resource type link.
On your lower level servers, open the Symantec Management Platform console.
Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Notification Server > Replication > Resources. Right click on Resources and choose New > Resource Replication Rule
As seen in the screenshot above, click on the link next to Data Classes first.
Once the Inventory Data Classes picker opens, it will be blank. Click on the dropdown next to the Group section to bring down the list of available choices.
Navigate to Inventory > Custom and choose that.
Now under Data Classes you should see your custom data class. Select that and click on on the arrow to move it to the right hand side of the picker.
Click on OK
You now will want to click on the link next to Resource types
Choose Computer and add that to the right hand side of the picker
Click on OK
Click on your destination Notification Server and choose accordingly.
Finally, select a schedule that is not too aggressive but will keep your data current.

from the he-knows-when-you've-been-bad-or-good dept.
Gunkerty Jeb writes "Senator Al Franken (D-MN) is demanding answers to questions about the U.S. Department of Justice practice of gathering data from wireless providers in order to monitor individuals' movements using mobile phone location data. In a letter (PDF) to Attorney General Eric Holder, Franken said, 'I was further concerned to learn that in many cases, these agencies appear to be obtaining precise records of individuals' past and current movements from carriers without first obtaining a warrant for this information. I think that these actions may violate the spirit if not the letter of the Jones decision.'"

According to work being undertaken by the Australian Pipeline Industry Association, and economic consultancy, ACIL Tasman, LNG exports from Australia and the slowdown in CSG development may lead to a supply shortfall of natural gas and an up to seven-year east coast gas price "bubble".
"Such a short-to-medium term price hike has the potential to close down Australian businesses unable to deal with an explosion in the price they pay for their gas," Cheryl Cartwright, Chief Executive of the APIA, said today.
"Federal Government claims that market development initiatives such as the Gas Bulletin Board, the Short Term Trading Market and a proposed gas supply hub at Wallumbilla in Queensland can assist in providing access to affordable gas are, at best, misguided," Ms Cartwright said.
"While such mechanisms increase information availability and demand flexibility, they do not provide more gas to Australian industry, nor will they reduce prices. The Gas Bulletin Board and Short Term Trading Markets are already in place and are doing nothing to prevent the supply and prices issues facing Australian industry."
Article continues below…Ms Cartwright's warning was issued in the response by the APIA to the just released Federal Government's Energy White Paper.
"While the Energy White Paper is welcome, and its call for regular review of the energy economy demonstrates foresight, there remains the fundamental challenge facing Australia's energy industries, and that is, the cost to the domestic economy of linking national gas prices to LNG-export prices," Ms Cartwright said.
"However, APIA agrees with the suggested part-solution to addressing the price bubble, and that is improved access to the nation's vast gas reserves in order to increase gas supply."
"The current delays in CSG developments in Queensland and New South Wales will coincide with LNG-export demand coming on line, and exporting companies will need to draw on gas that had been anticipated to be available to Australian gas users."
Ms Cartwright pointed to a graph (attached), developed by ACIL Tasman, which demonstrates the expected seven year east coast price "bubble" commencing from 2013 and tailing off by 2020 as gas production eventually meets market demand.
"After this 'bubble', or without the 'bubble', it is expected the price of gas would increase, but remain affordable," Ms Cartwright said.
"Right now, the answer to affordable gas prices is to not tinker with end markets, nor gas transportation – the solution is to address gas supply - and ensure that businesses threatened by a short-to-medium term price hike can survive until the price levels out.
"With the vast resources of natural gas in Australia, improved access will address supply issues – which will in turn assist in bringing prices down. In the meantime, Government should seriously consider whether it wants a short-term gas supply crisis to permanently damage some sectors of the economy.
"If businesses are not viable in the long-term, then market forces should allow them to close or move offshore, but if the dramatically high price of this input to their business is temporary, the Government should step in.
"As we have seen already, a failure by Governments to step in has led to the closure of many manufacturing businesses – including steel pipeline manufacture, which has closed forever because of the high Australian dollar and the tardiness of any useful action by the Government's Manufacturing Taskforce, led by former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie.
"It would be a tragedy if this mistake is repeated. Future transmission infrastructure construction will be hampered by the lack of local production."

It's a problem as old as episode recapping itself: Naturally, with our excessive love for Archer, we'd love to recap the show, but we can't. Or won't, whatever. It doesn't exactly lend itself to plot summaries. So instead, we'll be breaking down the gags you'll need to sound smart talking about Archer at the watercooler, or first-period geometry, or the all-you-can-push smack buffet. Hey, we're not here to judge.
1. The Tuntmore
One of the many unscripted visual gags that creator Adam Reed says are pleasant surprises from the animators, even to him. Cheryl Tunt -> Biltmore Hotel/House -> Vanderbilts. If you didn't follow that one, we'd suggest following a different show—we hear Whitney's pretty, um, terrible!
2. "Eastbounnnd and Dowwwn!"
"I thought that was Richard Petty."
Which doesn't even warrant a response (Okay, fine, it's from Smokey and the Bandit). Another installment in Archer's neglected childhood, along the lines of his Charlie Chaplin costume for Halloween: "Why was he dressed as Hitler?"
3. "I swear to god you could drown a toddler in my panties right now. I mean, not that you would, but..."
No references here, just lovable, lonely Pam. Also gets the episode's kicker: "And I, for one, am going to watch Hooper and masturbate 'til my fingers bleed." Oh, that kook!
4. Burt's Laugh
Which snot-nosed viewers might not know is his and was cribbed by Sterling, not the other way around. To which we ask, kids: Where has Burt Reynolds been all your life?
5. Ray Gillette, Agent Handicapable
Ray's wheelchair is a slight impediment while fleeing a Cuban hit squad. We have to wonder: With Ray already half-useless (...as Archer would say), and with an otherwise-employed Adam Reed voicing him, isn't he the most natural choice to get the axe this season? All we know is, don't you dare take Vanispheres (Rush reference), you bastards.
Honorable mention: "Oh, nice to meet you, Hal Needham."
Hal Needham was a stuntman and director who worked on Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit II, The Cannonball Run, and The Cannonball Run II, among others. Yeah, he and Burt are like this.

NEW YORK (AP) - AT&T will launch three new smart phones ahead of
the holiday shopping season that run on Microsoft's new mobile
The phones will be a test of whether Microsoft Corp. can catch
up with rivals in the fast-growing smart phone market. And they
could help AT&T Inc. make up for a possible loss of its exclusive
rights to sell Apple Inc.'s hugely popular iPhone.
Microsoft's new software, called Windows Phone 7, will go up
against both the iPhone and the expanding number of phones running
on Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
The phones AT&T plans to launch will be manufactured by HTC
Corp., LG Electronics Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. The first
will go on sale Nov. 8, with two more coming a few weeks later.

"Do not buy anything here that you would need service. If you cannot affort to replace the item buy it elsewhere. This is the second time I encounter terrible service. The protection plan they sell you is a rip off. They take for ever to repair and to replace is a nightmare. First time it was with my sound system at home. It was inconvinient and took over 3 months to resolve. Now it happened again with my refrigerator. Here I am 3 weeks later waiting for someone to repair. This is not inconvinient this is inhumane. "
" I went to BrandsMart USA to get my new iphone & the expereince was GREAT!!
I recently had my iPhone stolen & they were all very sympathetic & provided me with excellent customer service throughout the entire process
I can honestly say they made the replacement process so easy, they are GREAT
love the store!!!"
"They sell an extended warranty, when you need to claim the warranty they look for excuses to not apply the warranty. They are LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Worst service ever!!!!! I have to say everything seem to start out great, I visited the west palm beach fl location on 8/31/2014 and was looking to upgrade my tv at home. After looking at several items I was completely sold by the salesman Ramon on a 60inch sharp 4k ready tv. I have to say that I was really looking forward to getting this monster home and playing with all the features of this great tv. After going thru the application process for financing I am informed that the tv was not in stock. The closest store was 50 miles away in sunrise. Well after everything I set up to drive down and get the tv the next morning. I went down and purchased the tv on 9/1/2014. I was told by the sales man that he was going to throw in the service contract but that was not the case he just lowered the price to cover the cost of the service plan. This does not sound like a big deal but it will come into play soon enough. After just 12 days the tv began to do some very strange things. First it seemed to need to warm up before it got going with the colors looking very washed out for the first few minutes the any sold black images would strobe black and grey. I returned the set on 9/13/2014 and got another set. It appeared to be working great until we Tried to use the online features where the screen would go black an the tv would become completely unresponsive. This after just 12 hrs. I again had to disconnect the tv and take it yet again to brandsmart. After talking to the merchandise returns manager I was told to go into the store and speak with someone about possible switching to a different set. I went in and because the set was on sale at the time I purchased it I would be unable to get a set with similar features ie 240htz 4k ready or 3d since all the other models would come with a substantial increase in cost. Never mind the fact that the same tv was nolonger on sale and was now 200 dollars more then I had paid for it. I asked to seep with the manager on duty and instead was referred to one low level supervisor after another. On told me that the took my set to the back and found no issue. I asked to be brought back and shown since now I an a lier and was immediately pawned off on to another supervisor that refused to take me back to prove their claim. I guess I have nothing better to do but take TVs home and connect and disconnect them for no real reason on my day off. I was told by the next supervisor I really wish I remembered his name but he appeared to be of West Indian decent that they do not make the TVs and that he did me a favor by giving me my money. Really? It was a favor from brandsmart to give me my money back on a tv that I had to return twice in 12 day. He would go on to repeat this several times in the course of our interaction until I had to firmly explain that there was no favor done here it is the policy of brandsmart to do just that within the first thirty days. Now I arrived at brandsmart at 1pm it was now 4:30 pm and still no progress. I was even told at one point to just take my money a leave. What great service!!!! Finally after 4 hrs the one bright spot arrived when Sing the tv supervisor having been brought up to speed with the situation was able to work something out and get me into a set that had most of the same features except for the 4k feature. Even though it was more he got me a girt card to cover all but 14 dollars of the difference but since the price of my original tv was lowered by the dishonest sale rep to cover the service plan no the new set has no coverage. This makes me very uncomfortable with all the issues but since I now had no tv at home and 2 kids I was not left with much If a choice. It drives me crazy to thing that with the amount of money that is spent on these TVs that brandsmart does not stand behind there products and when things go wrong there service could possibly be this bad. Going as far as to act as though doing nothing is actually doing me a favor!!! Need less to say that I will be taking the rest of my big ticket purchases down the road to best buy from now on!!!!!"
"do not shop here! they have no customer service and after they have your "warranty" money - they forget that you were a customer. shop anywhere else, even if you pay a few dollars more, it will be worth avoiding the hassle of this company. they outsource their warranty repairs and the warranty group has no communication with the service department or customer service. it is an obscene mess and jumble of aggravation. the people that work for the company, namely linda solois, irene, renee and miriam in customer relations have absolutely no clue what customer service means. your telephone calls are transferred and transferred without end and what is likely in hopes of just hoping you will go away. I cannot go away because they own my warranty/service contract. just shop anywhere else!"
"I purchased a washer/dryer at the Brandsmart on Buford Highway in Gwinnett, GA. This has turned out to be hands down the very worst decision since purchasing our first home.
The delivery man came in with dirty shoes and hooked up our washer and dryer incorrectly. On his way out he made the comment of "Oh, did I make all of this mess?" Referring to his dirty shoes leaving marks all over our floors. Never once did he offer to clean it but instead left.
My husband and I had plans to go out of town and fortunately I happened to notice a stain on our ceiling that was growing. This was due to the fact that the delivery man either did not know how to hook up a washer or did not care to take the time to do it correctly. We called Brandmsart right away and were told that two people would come out to fix the washer and an adjuster to look at the damage.
The thing is, if I called the customer service center I would be put on hold for anywhere from 16-35 minutes. However, my husband and I quickly learned that if the pressed the button to be transferred to the sales department, then someone would pick up within the first two rings. It is very disappointing to know that we waited several hours in total when the sales department picks up in seconds.
Once Monday came 1 person came to fix the hose connection. He asked my husband how he was able to remove the hose and told him that whoever installed it obviously did not know what he was doing because it was so loosely connected.
However, after being on hold again for extended time, my husband was told that an adjuster should call within the next TWO weeks. Obviously this was not okay with me so I called back, and finally was able to speak to a manager. He had someone call us that day.
Unfortunately, He is stuck with a lackluster team who doesn't seem to know how to complete their jobs. An adjuster came and took pictures and said that the whole ceiling would have to be painted. He let us know that someone would be out on Saturday to fix the damage.
A man confirmed multiple times that he would be there Saturday morning. He did not end up showing up until nearly 3:00 and he just walked in with no supplies. He looked at the wall and said "Yeah, I'll just paint that stain." So we told him he needed to paint the whole ceiling. He kept saying "Alright, I'll take care of y'all." And he told us he would kilz the stain, let it dry for about 15 minutes, then paint all of the ceiling so that it would all match. He asked us what he wanted and we told him by the end of this whole debacle we would like the house to look as it did before Brandsmart ever touched it.
The only thing he asked was that he could come back on Tuesday. He said that this way he would be able to bring a ladder, plastic and so that he could have more time during the daylight. We agreed to this on the condition that he painted all of the ceiling.
My husband stayed at home again (now the 4th day that we have given up for this ridiculous issue), and DeMarcus shows up with only one small can of paint. He has to borrow our step stool and only paints the stain. He doesn't even paint it well enough to hide the water damage. He said to call in a few hours and refused to paint the rest
In all honesty, if we really wanted this to be TRULY resolved, then they would have to replace the sheetrock in the ceiling and fix underneath the flooring of water damage. We agreed to allow a sub-par repair under the conditions that they would at LEAST paint the ceiling (something ALL parties agreed to).
At this point, I am completely appalled and disgusted at the fact that a company with such horrible service can grow to be such a large corporation. I understand that this was the fault of the delivery service, but you as a company choose who delivers your product and that is the final interaction we as customers have in relation to Brandsmart. I can guarantee that with service like that it will be very hard to find repeat customers. I honestly am at my wits end and have no clue how to get my point across so that someone will actually take this seriously. At this point I am truly traumatized from ever purchasing anything from them ever again. I have never dealt with such poor service and workers who don't seem to even have a clue of what they are supposed to do.
A worker at the company actually had the audacity to tell my husband that there was no point in his calling. As a first time buyer from Brandsmart I can pretty much guarantee that we will never step foot in a facility again, and will make sure that anyone we know will not get a recommendation. It is utterly depressing that this is supposed to be one of the happiest moments as first time home buyers moving in and enjoying our first home, and instead it has become a complete nightmare. I cannot enjoy my home or even enjoy thinking about my home because I have had to deal with this issue since I moved in
"Permit me this opportunity, to submit my absolute disgust, pertaining to the BrandsMart location SawGrass Mall, in Sunrise.
Based on the impressions from a few of my work colleagues, associates, and also my prior experiences, as they specifically relate to the BrandsMart customer service experience; we were literally blown away (to say the least), with the scant disrespect meted out, almost every time your SawGrass Mills store location in Sunrise 33323, was contacted. Simply put: The general attitude of the sales staff, is a lot left to be desired. They are rude, obnoxious and overly discourteous, with respect to how they interact with customers' questions, queries, and/or legitimate concerns. So much so, that this unacceptable, and inexcusable behaviour has unfortunately become the rule rather than the exception!
Consequently, we have just finalized a $178,500 dollar order, with your competitor 'Best Buy' who apparently respects, values, and generally appreciates the significance of the 'customer' as a whole.
"Placed an order on 12/20/2013. Products appeared as IN STOCK. They CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD immediately. After a couple weeks I started calling and every time they said something different. Sometimes they told me there was no stock, but their web page still showed IN STOCK. Sometimes they told me they would deliver in a couple days. Just this past Thursday they told me they would deliver the following Monday. Their website still showed IN STOCK. The lady I spoke with told me NO PROBLEM we will deliver on Monday...somebody will call you 30 min before arriving with the delivery. Monday passed, I called today (Tuesday) and was told that they didn't have stock and apparently have not had stock for a while. So I asked to cancel.
In summary, they charged my credit card immediately without having stock and 2 months later, after repeated promises of delivery, they finally cancelled. Hope I can get my money back. What an AWFUL EXPERIENCE!"
"the absolute worst place to do business on the internet. I ordered a heating pad, it was defective, they would not pay postage for the return or to me, when I called twice today to ask about covering the postage ($15), they put me on hold until the call was dropped, HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"went to Brands mart at Saw grass mall Florida 07/16/13 to return a music center which we were not satisfy with on returning it there was a slight damage on on of the the speaker box which happen during delivery now this merchandise cost $1631.19 the manager Mr Gavin Kelly refuse to refund our money had to call there customer service then on doing so a refund was issued Gavin Kelly was not very helpful."
"The delivery service sucks! They have a six hour delivery window, which means you wait all day. I spoke with two separate, so called, customer service representatives and was told by one, "it is what it is!"
I finally had to send a complaint by e-mail to get someone reasonable on the telephones. She agreed to a two hour advance phone call so i would not have to sit around all day.
My advice, don't use their delivery service if at all possible."
"I went in there just browsing at the laptops and ended up buying one. The young man that helped us was very nice and knowledgeable about the computers and what we wanted to know. He was a great help and we would deal with him again and again on other products if we could."
"When I placed an order for a google nexus 7, the check out process was not completed due to some error (it said high volume), but my credit card was charged, and no notice of the order was emailed to me, neither was any tracking number of the order. When I called the 800 number on their website, I was transferred intentionally 7 times, no one can tell me my order status (it seems that all of them cannot do anything). Such a bad weirdo online store, I will dispute with my credit card company to cancel the order. WORST EVER!!! Never buy from them!!! "
"The WORST Customer service I have ever had. I repeat WORST ! Here's my story, I ordered Google Nexus Tablet on BrandsMark USA yesterday. Their website was so crappy that it didn't showed any confirmation. So I tried it couple of time. I check back with them today and they said it's my fault that I tried couple of times and I might get overcharged by Bank. But still I wanted to get that product, I tried calling my Bank to fix the pending charges and call back them again to fix it. But once again by another customer representative she yelled at me not understanding the situation."
